[0028] (Example 1) A training support system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses image recognition technology to recognize a user's posture during training from a video captured by a smartphone camera and provides real-time posture guidance. This enables the training support system to accurately recognize a user's posture and provide real-time guidance.
[0029] A training support system according to an embodiment includes a posture recognition unit, a difference calculation unit, an instruction unit, a superimposition unit, a motivation improvement unit, a video generation unit, and a nutritional value analysis unit. The posture recognition unit recognizes a user's posture during training using image recognition technology for a video captured by a smartphone camera. For example, the posture recognition unit uses deep learning technology to analyze the position and angle of each part of the user's body and accurately estimate the user's posture. The posture recognition unit can also analyze the user's movements in real time using computer vision technology. The difference calculation unit calculates the difference between the posture recognized by the posture recognition unit and the trainer's video. For example, the difference calculation unit calculates pixel-by-pixel differences to detect differences between the user's posture and the trainer's posture. The difference calculation unit can also calculate differences in the timing of movements. The instruction unit provides posture guidance in natural language in real time based on the differences calculated by the difference calculation unit. For example, the instruction unit uses a generation AI (such as a text generation AI or a multimodal generation AI) to provide specific instructions such as "Please stand up a little longer" or "Adjust the angle of your arms." The superimposition unit superimposes the user's posture on the trainer's video. For example, the superimposition unit superimposes the user's posture data on the trainer's video in real time, allowing the user to visually recognize the difference. The motivation improvement unit provides encouraging messages in natural language. For example, the motivation improvement unit uses a generation AI to provide encouraging words such as "Good luck!" or "Just a little more effort!" in real time. The video generation unit automatically generates optimal training videos. For example, the video generation unit proposes an effective training plan based on the user's training history and goals, and generates videos based on that plan. The nutritional value analysis unit analyzes photos of meals to analyze their nutritional value. For example, the nutritional value analysis unit uses image recognition technology to analyze photos of meals and calculate calorie and nutrient intake. This allows the training support system according to the embodiment to accurately recognize the user's posture and provide guidance in real time. For example, the user can train with the correct form, maintaining motivation while continuing.In addition, the app automatically generates optimal training videos to provide you with constantly updated training plans, and analyzes the nutritional value of your meals to help you maintain a healthy diet.
[0030] The posture recognition unit can estimate the user's muscle tension or fatigue level and suggest appropriate rest timing. For example, the posture recognition unit uses posture estimation technology to analyze the user's muscle tension in real time and suggest rest if excessive tension is detected. For example, it measures the muscle tension in the shoulders and back and notifies the user of appropriate rest timing. The posture recognition unit also estimates the user's fatigue level based on posture data and suggests rest when a certain level is reached. For example, it sends a notification encouraging rest when fatigue accumulates after long-term training. The posture recognition unit also combines posture estimation technology with a biosensor to obtain more accurate data to analyze muscle tension and fatigue. For example, it uses heart rate and electromyogram data in combination to suggest rest timing. This maximizes the effectiveness of training by analyzing the user's muscle tension and fatigue level in real time and suggesting appropriate rest.
[0031] The posture recognition unit can learn from the user's past posture data and develop a posture recognition algorithm optimized for each individual user. For example, the posture recognition unit collects the user's past posture data and uses a machine learning algorithm to build an individually optimized posture recognition model. For example, it generates a model tailored to the user's characteristics based on past training data. The posture recognition unit also periodically updates the user's posture data and improves the posture recognition algorithm based on the latest data. For example, it collects data after each training session and re-trains the model. The posture recognition unit also manages the posture recognition algorithm optimized for each individual user on the cloud and makes it accessible from multiple devices. For example, the same algorithm can be used from a smartphone or tablet. This enables more accurate posture recognition by providing an optimized posture recognition algorithm based on the user's past data.
[0032] The posture recognition unit can be considered for application in the fields of rehabilitation or physical therapy.

[0035] The differential calculation unit generates a 3D model based on a combination of the trainer's video and the user's posture data, enabling three-dimensional instruction. The differential calculation unit develops a system that generates a 3D model based on, for example, the trainer's video and the user's posture data and provides three-dimensional instruction. For example, it provides a 3D model that the user can rotate 360 degrees to check. The differential calculation unit also uses the 3D model to three-dimensionally analyze the user's movements and provide specific correction instructions. For example, it provides detailed instruction on joint movement and muscle usage. The differential calculation unit also uses a 3D model that combines the trainer's video and the user's posture data to provide an interface that allows the user to three-dimensionally check their own movements. For example, the 3D model is displayed in real time during training. This allows three-dimensional instruction by using a 3D model that combines the trainer's video and the user's posture data, improving the effectiveness of training.
[0036] The difference calculation unit can also be applied to other sports or fitness activities to provide a wide range of training guidance.

For example, it is applied to yoga or Pilates instruction. The difference calculation unit also uses the difference calculation technology to build a system that provides training guidance for different sports. For example, it analyzes golf or tennis form. The difference calculation unit also provides training guidance for general fitness activities based on the difference calculation with the trainer's video. For example, it analyzes aerobics or dance movements. In this way, a wide range of training guidance can be provided by applying the difference calculation technology to other sports and fitness activities.
[0037] The difference calculation unit can develop a system that evaluates long-term training effects by combining the difference calculation results with the user's training history. The difference calculation unit, for example, combines the difference calculation results with the user's training history to develop a system that evaluates long-term training effects. For example, it analyzes training progress based on past data. The difference calculation unit also analyzes the difference calculation results based on the user's training history to evaluate training effects. For example, it measures improvements in form and muscle strength. The difference calculation unit also integrates the difference calculation results with the training history to build a system that visualizes long-term training effects. For example, it displays training progress using graphs and charts. In this way, by integrating the difference calculation results with the training history, it is possible to evaluate long-term training effects and visualize training progress.
[0038] The superimposition unit provides an interface that allows users to freely rotate and scale the superimposed posture data, enabling detailed posture checks. For example, the superimposition unit displays the superimposed posture data as a 3D model and provides an interface that allows users to freely rotate and scale it. For example, detailed posture checks can be performed using fingertip controls. The superimposition unit will also develop an interface that allows users to check the superimposed posture data from any angle.

For example, the superposition function of the superposition unit is applied to rehabilitation to develop a system that monitors a patient's rehabilitation progress in real time. For example, it analyzes the range of motion of joints and the recovery status of muscle strength. In addition, the superposition unit uses the superposition function to analyze a patient's movements in physical therapy and builds a system that proposes an appropriate treatment plan. For example, it performs gait analysis and balance evaluation. In addition, the superposition unit provides a training program using the superposition function in rehabilitation or physical therapy settings. For example, it provides feedback on the patient's movements in real time and teaches the correct form. As a result, application in the fields of rehabilitation and physical therapy makes it possible to monitor a patient's rehabilitation progress in real time and provide an appropriate treatment plan.
[0041] The superimposition unit can provide a function for sharing the superimposed posture data with other users and receiving feedback within the community.

[0103] Step 1: The posture recognition unit uses image recognition technology to recognize the user's posture during training from videos taken with the smartphone camera. For example, deep learning technology can be used to analyze the position and angle of each part of the user's body and estimate the user's posture accurately. Computer vision technology can also be used to analyze the user's movements in real time. Step 2: The difference calculation unit calculates the difference between the posture recognized by the posture recognition unit and the video of the trainer. For example, it calculates the difference in pixel units to detect the difference between the user's posture and the trainer's posture. It can also calculate the difference in the timing of movements. Step 3: The instructor provides posture guidance in real time using natural language based on the difference calculated by the difference calculation unit. For example, using a generative AI, the instructor provides specific instructions such as "Please stand up a little straighter" or "Adjust the angle of your arms." Step 4: The superimposition unit superimposes the user's posture on the trainer's video. For example, the user's posture data is superimposed on the trainer's video in real time, allowing the difference to be visually recognized. Step 5: The motivational section provides encouraging messages in natural language, such as "Good luck!" or "Keep it up!", in real time using generative AI. Step 6: The video generator automatically generates optimal training videos. For example, it proposes an effective training plan based on the user's training history and goals, and generates videos based on that plan. Step 7: The nutritional value analysis unit analyzes the food photos to analyze their nutritional value. For example, it uses image recognition technology to analyze the food photos and calculate calorie and nutrient intake.

The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.
[0153] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[0154] FIG. 9 illustrates an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion encompasses both emotions and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[0155] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction on emotion map 400, and typically fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.
[0156] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on in the mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further you go outside emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[0157] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "reaction," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0158] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is a negative emotion on the situation side, around the middle of "repentance" or "reflection." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is a positive emotion on the response side, around "desire." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0159] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple pieces of training data that are combinations of user input and emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relieved," "calm," and "reassuring," have similar emotion values.
[0160] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers including computer 22.
[0161] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.
[0162] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[0163] It is not necessary to store all of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.
[0164] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following types of processors: A processor, for example, is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A processor also includes a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.
[0165] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.
[0166] As an example of a system configured with a single processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.
[0167] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
[0168] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.
