[0029] A chest of drawers organizing system according to an embodiment includes a chest of drawers organizing unit, a generation AI unit, and a logistics system control unit. The chest of drawers organizing unit organizes clothes in a chest of drawers. For example, the AI grasps the location and type of clothes and organizes them efficiently. The chest of drawers organizing unit can also classify clothes by season and place frequently used clothes in an easily accessible location. For example, the AI classifies clothes based on color, material, and frequency of use and places them in an easily accessible location. The generation AI unit selects a storage method through conversation with the user. For example, the generation AI asks questions such as, "Where should I store the shirt I wore today?" and suggests a storage method based on the user's answer. The generation AI unit can also analyze the user's preferences and past selection history and suggest a storage method based on that. For example, if the user has frequently sent shirts to the dry cleaners in the past, the generation AI suggests, "Should I also send this shirt to the dry cleaners?" The logistics system control unit controls a logistics system installed behind the house. For example, when the logistics system transports clothes to the chest of drawers, the AI calculates the optimal route and transports them efficiently. The logistics system control unit can also monitor the condition of clothes and suggest cleaning or repair as necessary. For example, if clothes are stained or frayed, the AI will suggest cleaning or repair to the user. This allows the dresser organization system according to the embodiment to efficiently organize dressers in the home and reduce the user's workload. For example, it makes it easier to change clothes for each season and to take out frequently used clothes. Furthermore, by constantly monitoring the condition of clothes, they can be kept clean and tidy.
[0030] The dresser organizer can classify clothes by season and place frequently used clothes in an easy-to-reach location. For example, AI can detect changes in the material or color of clothes, automatically list clothes that are showing signs of deterioration, and notify the user. For example, AI can periodically scan the material or color of clothes in the dresser and automatically list clothes that are showing signs of deterioration. The dresser organizer also uses sensors installed in the dresser to detect changes in the material or color of clothes. For example, it can use optical sensors or tactile sensors to monitor the condition of clothes. When listing clothes that are showing signs of deterioration, AI can also take into account the user's past usage and cleaning history. For example, it can prioritize the list of frequently used clothes. This makes it easier to change clothes for each season.
[0031] The generation AI unit can analyze the user's preferences and past selection history and suggest storage methods based on that. For example, the generation AI unit learns the user's lifestyle and schedule and automatically prepares clothes for specific events or seasons. For example, the AI connects with the user's calendar or schedule app to automatically prepare clothes for specific events or seasons. The generation AI unit also analyzes the user's daily behavior patterns and preferences to learn the user's lifestyle. For example, a user who prefers casual clothing on weekends will be prepared with casual clothes. The generation AI unit also selects appropriate clothing based on seasonal temperature and weather data. For example, warm coats and sweaters will be prepared in winter, and light clothing in summer. This allows the system to suggest storage methods based on the user's preferences.
[0032] The dresser organizer can detect changes in the material or color of clothing, automatically list the clothing that is deteriorating, and notify the user. For example, AI can detect changes in the material or color of clothing, automatically list the clothing that is deteriorating, and notify the user.

In addition, when listing the clothing that is deteriorating, AI can also take into account the user's past usage history and cleaning history. For example, it can prioritize the listing of frequently used clothing. This allows the user to be notified of clothing that is deteriorating.
[0033] The generation AI unit can learn the user's past conversation history and suggest more personalized storage methods. For example, the generation AI unit learns the user's past conversation history and suggests personalized storage methods. For example, suggestions are made based on storage methods that the user has preferred in the past. In addition, to analyze the conversation history, the generation AI unit uses natural language processing technology to understand the user's intentions. For example, if the user frequently uses a specific phrase, suggestions are made based on that phrase. In addition, the generation AI unit learns storage method patterns based on the user's past conversation history and makes new suggestions based on that. For example, if the user prefers a specific storage method in a specific season, suggestions are made based on that pattern. This makes it possible to suggest storage methods based on the user's past conversation history.
[0034] The generation AI unit can also analyze conversations with other members of the household and propose a storage method that reflects the opinions of everyone. For example, the generation AI unit analyzes conversations with other members of the household and proposes a storage method that reflects the opinions of everyone. For example, it selects a storage method that all family members agree on. The generation AI unit also collects conversation data within the household and the generation AI proposes a storage method based on that data. For example, it aggregates the opinions of family members and proposes the optimal storage method. The generation AI unit also learns the conversation history with other members of the household and, based on that, proposes a storage method that everyone is satisfied with. For example, it selects a storage method that everyone agrees on based on past conversation history. This makes it possible to propose a storage method that reflects the opinions of everyone in the household.
[0035] The generation AI unit can also contribute to health management by suggesting clothing choices based on the user's health condition and mood. For example, the generation AI unit monitors the user's health condition and suggests clothing choices accordingly. For example, if the user has a cold, it will suggest warm clothing. In addition, to analyze the user's mood, the generation AI monitors the user's mood in real time using an emotion estimation function. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it will suggest clothing that will help them relax. The generation AI unit also builds a system in which the generation AI selects the most suitable clothing for the user based on health condition and mood data. For example, it will suggest appropriate clothing based on the user's health data. This makes it possible to suggest clothing choices based on the user's health condition and mood.
[0036] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0037] The wardrobe organization system can further include a clothing recycling suggestion unit. The clothing recycling suggestion unit suggests ways to recycle clothes that the user has determined to be unnecessary. For example, it may analyze the material and condition of the clothes and list recyclable clothes. The recycling suggestion unit can also notify the user of local recycling centers and donation destinations. For example, it can provide information about nearby recycling centers to make recycling easier for the user. The recycling suggestion unit can also record the amount and frequency of clothes that the user recycles, and visualize the user's contribution to the environment. This allows the user to take environmentally conscious actions.
[0038] The wardrobe organization system can further include a clothing repair suggestion unit. The clothing repair suggestion unit suggests repair methods for deteriorated clothing. For example, it provides the user with easy repair methods for frayed or torn clothing. The repair suggestion unit can also introduce the user to nearby repair services.

The AI other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.
[0116] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. 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.
[0117] 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.
[0118] 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.
[0119] 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.
[0120] 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).
[0121] 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.
[0122] 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."
[0123] 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.
[0124] 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.
[0125] 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.
[0126] 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.
[0127] 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.
[0128] 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.
[0129] 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.
[0130] 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.
[0131] 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.
[0132] 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.
