[0184] The system for realizing this invention includes a server, a terminal, and a user. The roles and processes of each will be described in detail below.
[0185] Server Roles
[0186] The server first receives and analyzes data from users and delivery staff. Specifically, it handles the following data:
[0187] Image data of past photos of clothing and equipment of users and delivery personnel
[0188] Text data on the fashion and equipment preferences of users and delivery personnel
[0189] The server uses TensorFlow for image analysis and GPT-4 for analyzing text data of preferences, which generates a style profile and equipment profile for each individual. The server also uses an external weather API (OpenWeatherMap API) to obtain real-time weather information for travel destinations and delivery areas.
[0190] The server then integrates this data and uses a generative AI model to generate a list of optimal clothing and equipment, based on style profile, equipment profile, weather information, and cultural background.
[0191] Additionally, the server automatically generates a list of necessary items based on the generated clothing and equipment list, including eco-friendly items and local brand options in the process.
[0192] Device Role
[0193] The terminal functions as a user interface. First, the user or delivery person uploads photos of their previous outfits and their preferences, which are then sent to the server. The server then displays a list of optimal outfits and equipment, as well as a list of items to bring. The user or delivery person can review this information and make adjustments as necessary.
[0194] User Roles
[0195] The user inputs their own data into the terminal, receives suggestions from the server, and makes preparations based on them. Specifically, the user uses the system as follows:
[0196] 1. Upload past clothing photos and preferences to your device.
[0197] 2. Enter travel destination and delivery area information into the device.
[0198] 3. Check the suggested clothing and packing list and prepare accordingly.
[0199] Specific examples
[0200] Example 1: Rainy day delivery in Shibuya
[0201] User: Upload data on the delivery person's past preferences for waterproof jackets and shoes.
[0202] Server: Analyzes past photos of equipment and preferences to generate a profile. Checks the weather in Shibuya using the OpenWeatherMap API and suggests waterproof jackets, waterproof shoes, and rain bags for rainy days.
[0203] Terminal: Notifies the delivery person of the clothing list and belongings list sent from the server, and allows them to confirm and make adjustments.
[0204] Example prompts to be input to the generative AI model:
[0205] "Please suggest the best clothing and equipment for rainy days for food delivery in Shibuya. Delivery people prefer waterproof jackets and shoes. Also, please suggest eco-friendly items."
[0206] The system allows delivery personnel to prepare efficiently and environmentally, making it easy to select equipment appropriate for weather conditions and cultural backgrounds.
[0207] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0208] Step 1:
[0209] The user inputs past clothing photos and information about their preferences into the terminal. This data is sent from the terminal to the server as image data and text data. The input data includes information such as photos of clothing worn in the past, favorite colors, designs, and particularly favorite fashion styles.
[0210] Input: Past clothing photos (image data), preference information (text data)
[0211] Output: Send data to the server
[0212] Step 2:
[0213] The server analyzes the received data. First, it uses TensorFlow to analyze the image data and generate a style profile for the user. Then it uses GPT-4 to analyze the text data of user preferences and create a detailed profile of the individual's fashion style.
[0214] Input: Past clothing photos (image data), preference information (text data)
[0215] Output: Style Profile
[0216] Step 3:
[0217] The user inputs information about the travel destination and delivery area into the terminal, including the name of the destination, the duration, the planned activities and tasks, etc. This information is then sent to the server.
[0218] Input: Travel destination information, delivery area information (text data)
[0219] Output: Send data to the server
[0220] Step 4:
[0221] The server uses the OpenWeatherMap API to obtain real-time weather data for the entered travel destination and delivery area, and uses this information to understand the weather conditions of the travel destination and delivery area.
[0222] Input: Travel destination information, delivery area information (text data)
[0223] Output: Get real-time weather data
[0224] Step 5:
[0225] The server combines the acquired weather data with the generated style and equipment profiles, as well as the input cultural background and trend information. Based on this, a generative AI model (GPT-4) is used to generate the optimal outfit and equipment list. Eco-friendly items and local brand options are also taken into consideration.
[0226] Inputs: Style profile, equipment profile, real-time weather data, cultural context information
[0227] Output: Optimal clothing and equipment list
[0228] Step 6:
[0229] The server sends the generated list of optimal clothing and equipment to the device, which receives it and notifies the user. The user can then check the displayed list and make adjustments as necessary.
[0230] Input: Optimal clothing and equipment list
[0231] Output: Notification to terminal
[0232] Step 7:
[0233] The server automatically generates a list of necessary items to bring based on the suggested clothing and equipment, including eco-friendly items and local brand options, and sends the list to the device and notifies the user.
[0234] Input: Optimal clothing and equipment list
[0235] Output: Generates and notifies inventory list
[0236] Example prompt
[0237] "Please suggest the best clothing and equipment for rainy days for food delivery in Shibuya. Delivery people prefer waterproof jackets and shoes. Also, please suggest eco-friendly items."
[0238] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[0239] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0240] The system of the present invention combines a means for analyzing a user's past clothing photos and preferences to generate a personal style profile, a means for obtaining the latest weather data for the travel destination and understanding climate information in real time, a means for suggesting clothing that matches the style taking into consideration the culture and trends of the travel destination, a means for automatically generating a list of necessary items to bring based on the suggested clothing, a means for supporting the user in preventing duplication or shortages when packing, a means for recommending environmentally friendly fashion items, and an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions.
[0241] Program processing and explanation
[0242] Generate a style profile
[0243] When a user logs in to the application, they first upload photos of their previous outfits and their preferences (color, design, etc.), then enter their details into an input form. The device then sends this data to the server.
[0244] The server uses an image analysis model to extract the user's style characteristics from the uploaded image data. At the same time, it uses a natural language processing model to analyze the text data and identify specific preferences for color, design, material, etc. Based on this information, the server creates a user profile and stores it in a database. This clarifies the user's past style information and preferences.
[0245] Obtaining travel information
[0246] After the user inputs the travel destination information, the user's device then transmits the travel destination, travel period, and planned activities to the server. Based on the received information, the server obtains real-time weather data (weather forecast, temperature, humidity, etc.) for the travel destination from an external weather API, stores this weather data in a database, and associates it with the user's travel information.
[0247] Generating recommendations
[0248] The server uses generative AI to create an optimal outfit list based on the user's profile, weather information, and cultural background. The generated outfit list includes items that are appropriate for the weather conditions as well as culturally appropriate items. The emotion engine also assesses the user's emotional state at that time and can suggest outfits that are more psychologically satisfying. The recommendations also include environmentally friendly items and local brand options.
[0249] Generate suggestions and packing lists
[0250] The generated clothing suggestion list is sent from the server to the user's device and notified to the user. The user can check the suggested list and make adjustments as necessary. Based on the list, the server automatically generates a list of necessary items to bring, which is also sent to the user's device and notified to the user.
[0251] Specific examples

[0353] Example 2
[0354] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0355] Modern travelers need to choose appropriate clothing, taking into account the climate, culture, and trends of their destination. Automatically generating a packing list and incorporating environmental considerations and personal emotional state is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Conventional systems were unable to perform these processes efficiently and comprehensively, placing a heavy burden on travel preparation.
[0356] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a means for analyzing the user's past clothing photos and preferences to generate a personal style profile, a means for acquiring the latest weather data for the travel destination and understanding the weather information in real time, and a means for evaluating the user's emotional state and suggesting optimal clothing based on the evaluation. This allows travelers to efficiently prepare for their trip and select appropriate clothing that suits the climate and culture.
[0357] "User" refers to an individual who uses the system to prepare for a trip or select fashion.
[0358] "Past clothing photos" refer to photos of clothing previously worn by a user, and are data used to generate a style profile.
[0359] "Preferences" refers to information about the user's preferred fashion style, color, design, and material.
[0360] A "style profile" is data that represents a user's personal fashion trends and is generated based on the user's past clothing photos and preferences.
[0361] "Travel Destination" refers to the place that the User intends to visit.
[0362] "Weather data" refers to real-time weather information such as weather forecast, temperature, and humidity at your travel destination.
[0363] "Culture" refers to the social, historical, and regional background of a travel destination, and is a factor that influences clothing choices.
[0364] "Trends" refers to the latest fashions and trends in the destination.
[0365] A "packing list" refers to a list of items needed for a trip based on a suggested outfit.
[0366] "Duplicates and shortages" refers to users packing multiple items of the same kind, or leaving on a trip without an important item.
[0367] "Eco-conscious fashion items" refer to clothing and accessories made from sustainable materials and eco-friendly manufacturing methods.
[0368] "Emotional state" refers to the result of an assessment of the user's current psychological state.
[0369] "Recommendations" refers to a list of the best clothing and items to bring based on analyzed data.
[0370] "Generative AI" refers to an artificial intelligence model trained on a large dataset, which is used here to generate the outfit list.
[0371] This invention is a system that streamlines travel preparation for users and suggests clothing appropriate for the climate and culture. This system is composed of interactions between a server, a terminal, and a user. The specific processing procedures and technologies used are described below.
[0372] Generate a style profile
[0373] When a user logs in to the application, they first upload previous clothing photos and personal preferences, and then enter their details. This includes preferences for color, design, and materials. The device then sends this data to the server. The server then uses an image analysis model (e.g., Google Cloud Vision API) to extract the user's style features from the uploaded image data. At the same time, it uses a natural language processing model (e.g., BERT) to analyze the text data and understand the user's preferences. Based on these analysis results, the server creates a user profile and stores it in a database.
[0374] Obtaining travel information
[0375] When a user inputs travel destination information, the device sends the travel destination, travel duration, and planned activities to the server. Based on the received information, the server retrieves real-time climate data (weather forecast, temperature, humidity, etc.) for the travel destination from an external weather API (e.g., OpenWeatherMap API). The retrieved climate data is stored in a database and associated with the user's travel information.
[0376] Generating recommendations
[0377] The server uses a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-4) to generate an optimal outfit list based on the user profile, weather information, and cultural background. This outfit list includes items appropriate for the weather conditions as well as culturally appropriate items. It also uses an emotion engine (e.g., Azure Emotion API) to evaluate the user's emotional state at that time and suggests outfits based on that emotional state. Furthermore, recommendations can also include eco-friendly items and local brand options.
[0378] Generate suggestions and packing lists
[0379] The generated clothing suggestion list is sent from the server to the user's device and notified to the user. The user can review the suggested list and make adjustments as necessary. For example, they can exclude specific items or request additional items. Based on this, the server automatically generates a list of necessary items to bring. This list is also sent to the user's device and notified to the user.

The system is implemented by a user terminal and a server working together.
[0457] Program processing explanation
[0458] 1. Create a user profile
[0459] The user's device uploads photos of their previous clothing and their preferences to the application. The uploaded data is analyzed using an image analysis model (TensorFlow or PyTorch) to extract the user's fashion style characteristics. In addition, text information about the user's preferences is analyzed using a natural language processing model (such as BERT). Based on these analysis results, the server generates the user's style profile and stores it in a cloud database (such as Firebase).
[0460] 2. Obtaining weather information
[0461] The user's device acquires their current location information and sends it to the server. The server then retrieves real-time weather data from a weather data API (such as OpenWeatherMap) based on the location information. This weather data is stored in a cloud database and associated with the user's style profile.
[0462] 3. Generating Recommendations
[0463] The server integrates the generated style profile with weather data and uses a generative AI model (such as GPT-3) to suggest optimal food delivery options. The generated list includes meal options that suit the user's current style and weather conditions, allowing them to choose the best dishes to suit their mood and environment.
[0464] 4. Suggestions and Notifications
[0465] The generated food list is sent from the server to the user's device and notified to the user. The user can review the suggested dish list and make adjustments as necessary. This allows the user to order the meal that best suits their mood and environment that day.
[0466] Specific examples
[0467] Example 1: Lunch on a hot summer day (casual style)
[0468] User: Prefers casual style and has often worn T-shirts and shorts in the past.
[0469] Current location and climate: Tokyo, July, temperature 35°C, humidity 75%
[0470] session:
[0471] The user's device uploads past clothing photos and preferences to the server.
[0472] The server generates a style profile using image analysis and natural language processing.
[0473] The server uses a weather data API to obtain weather information for the current location.
[0474] A generative AI model (GPT-3) generates suggestions such as cold drinks and light salads.
[0475] A list of suggested foods is sent to the user's device, such as chilled salad, iced latte, and chilled tofu.
[0476] Example prompt: "Please suggest some dishes that would make you feel casual in Tokyo during the summer. The user's preference is casual, and the days are often hot."
[0477] Example 2: Winter evening dinner (formal style)
[0478] User: Prefers formal style and has worn suits and coats many times in the past.
[0479] Current location and climate: New York, December, 0°C, snow
[0480] session:
[0481] The user's device uploads past clothing photos and preferences to the server.
[0482] The server generates a style profile using image analysis and natural language processing.
[0483] The server uses a weather data API to obtain weather information for the current location.
[0484] A generative AI model (GPT-3) generates suggestions for hot soups, stews, and other dishes.
[0485] A list of suggested foods is sent to the user's device, such as tomato soup, a glass of wine, and warm bread.
[0486] Example prompt: "What are some recommendations for a formal winter dinner in New York? Something suitable for a cold or snowy day would be good."
[0487] In this way, our system can provide optimal food delivery options by integrating a user's past clothing photos and preferences with current weather information and using a generative AI model, allowing users to enjoy the food that best suits their mood and environment.
[0488] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0489] Step 1:
[0490] When a user logs in to the application, the user's device uploads past clothing photos and preference data. The user enters past clothing photos (image files) and text information about preferences (color, design, material, etc.) into an input form. The uploaded data is sent to the server. (Input): Past clothing photos, text information about the user's preferences (Output): Data sent to the server
[0491] Step 2:
[0492] The server performs image analysis based on the received data. The image analysis model (TensorFlow or PyTorch) analyzes the uploaded image file and extracts the user's style characteristics (type of clothing, color, design, material, etc.). At the same time, a natural language processing model (BERT, etc.) analyzes the text information to specifically understand the user's preferences. (Input): Uploaded image file and text information (Output): Analysis results of style characteristics and preferences
[0493] Step 3:
[0494] The server generates a style profile for the user based on the analysis results. The style profile integrates data extracted from the user's past clothing photos and preferences, and clearly indicates the user's fashion trends. The generated style profile is stored in a cloud database (such as Firebase). (Input): Analysis results of style features and preferences (Output): Generated style profile
[0495] Step 4:
[0496] The user device acquires the user's current location information and sends it to the server. The server uses a weather data API (such as OpenWeatherMap) based on the received current location information to acquire real-time weather data (temperature, humidity, weather forecast, etc.). The acquired weather data is stored in a cloud database and associated with the user's style profile. (Input): Current location information (Output): Acquired weather data
[0497] Step 5:
[0498] The server combines the generated style profile with weather data and generates optimal food delivery options using a generative AI model (such as GPT-3). The generative AI model creates an optimal dish list based on the user's mood, style, and climate based on the prompt. (Input): Style profile, weather data, prompt (Output): Optimal food delivery options
[0499] Step 6:
[0500] The server sends the generated food list to the user's device and notifies the user. The user can review the proposed food list and make adjustments as necessary. The final adjusted list is sent back to the server, and the necessary information is stored in the cloud database. (Input): Generated food list (Output): Food list sent to the user's device
[0501] This allows users to choose the dish that best suits their mood and the environment at the time and enjoy a comfortable meal.
[0502] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0503] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet Search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[0661] The system for realizing this invention includes a server, a terminal, and a user. The roles and processes of each will be described in detail below.
[0662] Server Roles
[0663] The server first receives and analyzes data from users and delivery staff. Specifically, it handles the following data:
[0664] Image data of past photos of clothing and equipment of users and delivery personnel
[0665] Text data on the fashion and equipment preferences of users and delivery personnel
[0666] The server uses TensorFlow for image analysis and GPT-4 for analyzing text data of preferences, which generates a style profile and equipment profile for each individual. The server also uses an external weather API (OpenWeatherMap API) to obtain real-time weather information for travel destinations and delivery areas.
[0667] The server then integrates this data and uses a generative AI model to generate a list of optimal clothing and equipment, based on style profile, equipment profile, weather information, and cultural background.
[0668] Additionally, the server automatically generates a list of necessary items based on the generated clothing and equipment list, including eco-friendly items and local brand options in the process.
[0669] Device Role
[0670] The terminal functions as a user interface. First, the user or delivery person uploads photos of their previous outfits and their preferences, which are then sent to the server. The server then displays a list of optimal outfits and equipment, as well as a list of items to bring. The user or delivery person can review this information and make adjustments as necessary.
[0671] User Roles
[0672] The user inputs their own data into the terminal, receives suggestions from the server, and makes preparations based on them. Specifically, the user uses the system as follows:
[0673] 1. Upload past clothing photos and preferences to your device.
[0674] 2. Enter travel destination and delivery area information into the device.
[0675] 3. Check the suggested clothing and packing list and prepare accordingly.
[0676] Specific examples
[0677] Example 1: Rainy day delivery in Shibuya
[0678] User: Upload data on the delivery person's past preferences for waterproof jackets and shoes.
[0679] Server: Analyzes past photos of equipment and preferences to generate a profile. Checks the weather in Shibuya using the OpenWeatherMap API and suggests waterproof jackets, waterproof shoes, and rain bags for rainy days.
[0680] Terminal: Notifies the delivery person of the clothing list and belongings list sent from the server, and allows them to confirm and make adjustments.
[0681] Example prompts to be input to the generative AI model:
[0682] "Please suggest the best clothing and equipment for rainy days for food delivery in Shibuya. Delivery people prefer waterproof jackets and shoes. Also, please suggest eco-friendly items."
[0683] The system allows delivery personnel to prepare efficiently and environmentally, making it easy to select equipment appropriate for weather conditions and cultural backgrounds.
[0684] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0685] Step 1:
[0686] The user inputs past clothing photos and information about their preferences into the terminal. This data is sent from the terminal to the server as image data and text data. The input data includes information such as photos of clothing worn in the past, favorite colors, designs, and particularly favorite fashion styles.
[0687] Input: Past clothing photos (image data), preference information (text data)
[0688] Output: Send data to the server
[0689] Step 2:
[0690] The server analyzes the received data. First, it uses TensorFlow to analyze the image data and generate a style profile for the user. Then it uses GPT-4 to analyze the text data of user preferences and create a detailed profile of the individual's fashion style.
[0691] Input: Past clothing photos (image data), preference information (text data)
[0692] Output: Style Profile
[0693] Step 3:
[0694] The user inputs information about the travel destination and delivery area into the terminal, including the name of the destination, the duration, the planned activities and tasks, etc. This information is then sent to the server.
[0695] Input: Travel destination information, delivery area information (text data)
[0696] Output: Send data to the server
[0697] Step 4:
[0698] The server uses the OpenWeatherMap API to obtain real-time weather data for the entered travel destination and delivery area, and uses this information to understand the weather conditions of the travel destination and delivery area.
[0699] Input: Travel destination information, delivery area information (text data)
[0700] Output: Get real-time weather data
[0701] Step 5:
[0702] The server combines the acquired weather data with the generated style and equipment profiles, as well as the input cultural background and trend information. Based on this, a generative AI model (GPT-4) is used to generate the optimal outfit and equipment list. Eco-friendly items and local brand options are also taken into consideration.
[0703] Inputs: Style profile, equipment profile, real-time weather data, cultural context information
[0704] Output: Optimal clothing and equipment list
[0705] Step 6:
[0706] The server sends the generated list of optimal clothing and equipment to the device, which receives it and notifies the user. The user can then check the displayed list and make adjustments as necessary.
[0707] Input: Optimal clothing and equipment list
[0708] Output: Notification to terminal
[0709] Step 7:
[0710] The server automatically generates a list of necessary items to bring based on the suggested clothing and equipment, including eco-friendly items and local brand options, and sends the list to the device and notifies the user.
[0711] Input: Optimal clothing and equipment list
[0712] Output: Generates and notifies inventory list
[0713] Example prompt
[0714] "Please suggest the best clothing and equipment for rainy days for food delivery in Shibuya. Delivery people prefer waterproof jackets and shoes. Also, please suggest eco-friendly items."
[0715] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[0716] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0717] The system of the present invention combines a means for analyzing a user's past clothing photos and preferences to generate a personal style profile, a means for obtaining the latest weather data for the travel destination and understanding climate information in real time, a means for suggesting clothing that matches the style taking into consideration the culture and trends of the travel destination, a means for automatically generating a list of necessary items to bring based on the suggested clothing, a means for supporting the user in preventing duplication or shortages when packing, a means for recommending environmentally friendly fashion items, and an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions.
[0718] Program processing and explanation
[0719] Generate a style profile
[0720] When a user logs in to the application, they first upload photos of their previous outfits and their preferences (color, design, etc.), then enter their details into an input form. The device then sends this data to the server.
[0721] The server uses an image analysis model to extract the user's style characteristics from the uploaded image data. At the same time, it uses a natural language processing model to analyze the text data and identify specific preferences for color, design, material, etc. Based on this information, the server creates a user profile and stores it in a database. This clarifies the user's past style information and preferences.
[0722] Obtaining travel information
[0723] After the user inputs the travel destination information, the user's device then transmits the travel destination, travel period, and planned activities to the server. Based on the received information, the server obtains real-time weather data (weather forecast, temperature, humidity, etc.) for the travel destination from an external weather API, stores this weather data in a database, and associates it with the user's travel information.
[0724] Generating recommendations
[0725] The server uses generative AI to create an optimal outfit list based on the user's profile, weather information, and cultural background. The generated outfit list includes items that are appropriate for the weather conditions as well as culturally appropriate items. The emotion engine also assesses the user's emotional state at that time and can suggest outfits that are more psychologically satisfying. The recommendations also include environmentally friendly items and local brand options.
[0726] Generate suggestions and packing lists
[0727] The generated clothing suggestion list is sent from the server to the user's device and notified to the user. The user can check the suggested list and make adjustments as necessary. Based on the list, the server automatically generates a list of necessary items to bring, which is also sent to the user's device and notified to the user.
[0728] Specific examples

[0830] Example 2
[0831] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0832] Modern travelers need to choose appropriate clothing, taking into account the climate, culture, and trends of their destination. Automatically generating a packing list and incorporating environmental considerations and personal emotional state is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Conventional systems were unable to perform these processes efficiently and comprehensively, placing a heavy burden on travel preparation.
[0833] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a means for analyzing the user's past clothing photos and preferences to generate a personal style profile, a means for acquiring the latest weather data for the travel destination and understanding the weather information in real time, and a means for evaluating the user's emotional state and suggesting optimal clothing based on the evaluation. This allows travelers to efficiently prepare for their trip and select appropriate clothing that suits the climate and culture.
[0834] "User" refers to an individual who uses the system to prepare for a trip or select fashion.
[0835] "Past clothing photos" refer to photos of clothing previously worn by a user, and are data used to generate a style profile.
[0836] "Preferences" refers to information about the user's preferred fashion style, color, design, and material.
[0837] A "style profile" is data that represents a user's personal fashion trends and is generated based on the user's past clothing photos and preferences.
[0838] "Travel Destination" refers to the place that the User intends to visit.
[0839] "Weather data" refers to real-time weather information such as weather forecast, temperature, and humidity at your travel destination.
[0840] "Culture" refers to the social, historical, and regional background of a travel destination, and is a factor that influences clothing choices.
[0841] "Trends" refers to the latest fashions and trends in the destination.
[0842] A "packing list" refers to a list of items needed for a trip based on a suggested outfit.
[0843] "Duplicates and shortages" refers to users packing multiple items of the same kind, or leaving on a trip without an important item.
[0844] "Eco-conscious fashion items" refer to clothing and accessories made from sustainable materials and eco-friendly manufacturing methods.
[0845] "Emotional state" refers to the result of an assessment of the user's current psychological state.

[0847] "Generative AI" refers to an artificial intelligence model trained on a large dataset, which is used here to generate the outfit list.
[0848] This invention is a system that streamlines travel preparation for users and suggests clothing appropriate for the climate and culture. This system is composed of interactions between a server, a terminal, and a user. The specific processing procedures and technologies used are described below.
[0849] Generate a style profile
[0850] When a user logs in to the application, they first upload previous clothing photos and personal preferences, and then enter their details. This includes preferences for color, design, and materials. The device then sends this data to the server. The server then uses an image analysis model (e.g., Google Cloud Vision API) to extract the user's style features from the uploaded image data. At the same time, it uses a natural language processing model (e.g., BERT) to analyze the text data and understand the user's preferences. Based on these analysis results, the server creates a user profile and stores it in a database.
[0851] Obtaining travel information
[0852] When a user inputs travel destination information, the device sends the travel destination, travel duration, and planned activities to the server. Based on the received information, the server retrieves real-time climate data (weather forecast, temperature, humidity, etc.) for the travel destination from an external weather API (e.g., OpenWeatherMap API). The retrieved climate data is stored in a database and associated with the user's travel information.
[0853] Generating recommendations
[0854] The server uses a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-4) to generate an optimal outfit list based on the user profile, weather information, and cultural background. This outfit list includes items appropriate for the weather conditions as well as culturally appropriate items. It also uses an emotion engine (e.g., Azure Emotion API) to evaluate the user's emotional state at that time and suggests outfits based on that emotional state. Furthermore, recommendations can also include eco-friendly items and local brand options.
[0855] Generate suggestions and packing lists
[0856] The generated clothing suggestion list is sent from the server to the user's device and notified to the user. The user can review the suggested list and make adjustments as necessary. For example, they can exclude specific items or request additional items. Based on this, the server automatically generates a list of necessary items to bring. This list is also sent to the user's device and notified to the user.
[0857] Specific examples
[0858] Example 1: Summer trip to Tokyo (casual style)
[0859] User: Prefers casual style and owns T-shirts, shorts, and sneakers.

[0933] This invention is a system that generates a personal style profile based on the user's past clothing photos and preferences, and also obtains the latest weather data to suggest optimal options for food delivery services. The system is implemented by a user terminal and a server working together.
[0934] Program processing explanation
[0935] 1. Create a user profile
[0936] The user's device uploads photos of their previous clothing and their preferences to the application. The uploaded data is analyzed using an image analysis model (TensorFlow or PyTorch) to extract the user's fashion style characteristics. In addition, text information about the user's preferences is analyzed using a natural language processing model (such as BERT). Based on these analysis results, the server generates the user's style profile and stores it in a cloud database (such as Firebase).
[0937] 2. Obtaining weather information
[0938] The user's device acquires their current location information and sends it to the server. The server then retrieves real-time weather data from a weather data API (such as OpenWeatherMap) based on the location information. This weather data is stored in a cloud database and associated with the user's style profile.
[0939] 3. Generating Recommendations
[0940] The server integrates the generated style profile with weather data and uses a generative AI model (such as GPT-3) to suggest optimal food delivery options. The generated list includes meal options that suit the user's current style and weather conditions, allowing them to choose the best dishes to suit their mood and environment.
[0941] 4. Suggestions and Notifications
[0942] The generated food list is sent from the server to the user's device and notified to the user. The user can review the suggested dish list and make adjustments as necessary. This allows the user to order the meal that best suits their mood and environment that day.
[0943] Specific examples
[0944] Example 1: Lunch on a hot summer day (casual style)
[0945] User: Prefers casual style and has often worn T-shirts and shorts in the past.
[0946] Current location and climate: Tokyo, July, temperature 35°C, humidity 75%
[0947] session:
[0948] The user's device uploads past clothing photos and preferences to the server.
[0949] The server generates a style profile using image analysis and natural language processing.
[0950] The server uses a weather data API to obtain weather information for the current location.
[0951] A generative AI model (GPT-3) generates suggestions such as cold drinks and light salads.
[0952] A list of suggested foods is sent to the user's device, such as chilled salad, iced latte, and chilled tofu.
[0953] Example prompt: "Please suggest some dishes that would make you feel casual in Tokyo during the summer. The user's preference is casual, and the days are often hot."
[0954] Example 2: Winter evening dinner (formal style)
[0955] User: Prefers formal style and has worn suits and coats many times in the past.
[0956] Current location and climate: New York, December, 0°C, snow
[0957] session:
[0958] The user's device uploads past clothing photos and preferences to the server.
[0959] The server generates a style profile using image analysis and natural language processing.
[0960] The server uses a weather data API to obtain weather information for the current location.
[0961] A generative AI model (GPT-3) generates suggestions for hot soups, stews, and other dishes.
[0962] A list of suggested foods is sent to the user's device, such as tomato soup, a glass of wine, and warm bread.
[0963] Example prompt: "What are some recommendations for a formal winter dinner in New York? Something suitable for a cold or snowy day would be good."
[0964] In this way, our system can provide optimal food delivery options by integrating a user's past clothing photos and preferences with current weather information and using a generative AI model, allowing users to enjoy the food that best suits their mood and environment.
[0965] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0966] Step 1:
[0967] When a user logs in to the application, the user's device uploads past clothing photos and preference data. The user enters past clothing photos (image files) and text information about preferences (color, design, material, etc.) into an input form. The uploaded data is sent to the server. (Input): Past clothing photos, text information about the user's preferences (Output): Data sent to the server
[0968] Step 2:
[0969] The server performs image analysis based on the received data. The image analysis model (TensorFlow or PyTorch) analyzes the uploaded image file and extracts the user's style characteristics (type of clothing, color, design, material, etc.). At the same time, a natural language processing model (BERT, etc.) analyzes the text information to specifically understand the user's preferences. (Input): Uploaded image file and text information (Output): Analysis results of style characteristics and preferences
[0970] Step 3:
[0971] The server generates a style profile for the user based on the analysis results. The style profile integrates data extracted from the user's past clothing photos and preferences, and clearly indicates the user's fashion trends. The generated style profile is stored in a cloud database (such as Firebase). (Input): Analysis results of style features and preferences (Output): Generated style profile
[0972] Step 4:
[0973] The user device acquires the user's current location information and sends it to the server. The server uses a weather data API (such as OpenWeatherMap) based on the received current location information to acquire real-time weather data (temperature, humidity, weather forecast, etc.). The acquired weather data is stored in a cloud database and associated with the user's style profile. (Input): Current location information (Output): Acquired weather data
[0974] Step 5:
[0975] The server combines the generated style profile with weather data and generates optimal food delivery options using a generative AI model (such as GPT-3). The generative AI model creates an optimal dish list based on the user's mood, style, and climate based on the prompt. (Input): Style profile, weather data, prompt (Output): Optimal food delivery options
[0976] Step 6:
[0977] The server sends the generated food list to the user's device and notifies the user. The user can review the proposed food list and make adjustments as necessary. The final adjusted list is sent back to the server, and the necessary information is stored in the cloud database. (Input): Generated food list (Output): Food list sent to the user's device
[0978] This allows users to choose the dish that best suits their mood and the environment at the time and enjoy a comfortable meal.
[0979] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0980] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet Search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[1069] To use this system, users use devices such as smartphones or PCs. First, they log in to the application, upload photos of their previous outfits, and enter their preferred styles, colors, and designs in the input form. This data is then sent from the device to the server.
[1070] The server analyzes the data using image analysis tools (e.g., OpenCV and TensorFlow) and natural language processing tools (e.g., NLTK and spaCy) to generate a style profile for the user, which is then stored in a database.
[1071] Next, the user inputs their travel destination, travel duration, and planned activities. This information is also sent to the server via the device. The server retrieves real-time weather data from external weather APIs (e.g., OpenWeatherMap API or Weatherstack API) and correlates it with the weather conditions at the travel destination.
[1072] The server provides the user's style profile, weather data, and cultural background as input data to a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-4) and sends a prompt. Specific examples of prompts are as follows:
[1073] "The user's style profile is casual. The travel destination is Tokyo, where the temperature is high and humidity is high in July. The primary focus is sightseeing. Please generate an optimal outfit list."
[1074] Based on these prompts, the generative AI model generates a list of appropriate outfits, which the server then sends to the user's device. The list includes items that match the user's preferences, as well as items suited to the climate and culture of the destination. It also suggests eco-friendly fashion items and local brand options.
[1075] The server then automatically generates a list of necessary items to bring based on the clothing list and sends it to the user's device, allowing the user to efficiently prepare for a trip or business trip and easily select appropriate clothing and items to bring.
[1076] For example, if a user is traveling to Tokyo in July, a casual T-shirt, shorts, and breathable sneakers will be recommended based on temperature and humidity information obtained from the weather API. Additional necessary items (e.g., sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, etc.) will also be automatically added to the recommended list. The device will notify the user of this information, allowing them to review and adjust the recommended list as needed.
[1077] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the present invention. This system allows the user to easily select clothing and items suitable for the weather and specific activities of the day.

[1101] In specific operation, the server sends an HTTP request to the API and receives the acquired weather data.
[1102] Input: Travel destination information (text)
[1103] Output: Real-time weather data
[1104] Step 6: Generate the outfit list
[1105] The server sends prompts to a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-4) that integrates the user's style profile, weather data, and cultural background, and the generative AI model generates a list of appropriate outfits.
[1106] Specifically, the AI provides a prompt example that reads, "The user's style profile is casual. The travel destination is Tokyo, where the temperature and humidity are high in July. Sightseeing will be the main focus. Please generate a list of the most suitable outfits." The AI then returns a list of T-shirts, shorts, sneakers, etc.
[1107] Input: Style profile, weather data, cultural background
[1108] Output: A list of the best outfits
[1109] Step 7: Generate a packing list
[1110] The server automatically generates an inventory list based on the generated clothing list, including any additional items required (e.g., sunscreen, sunglasses, etc.).
[1111] In particular, the server analyzes the clothing list and automatically adds related items (e.g., sunscreen for a T-shirt) to generate the list.
[1112] Input: Best Outfit List
[1113] Output: Inventory list
[1114] Step 8: Notification and confirmation of results
[1115] The device will then notify the user of the generated clothing and belongings list, which the user can review and adjust as necessary.
[1116] Specifically, the device will notify the user of the list via push or email notification, allowing them to view and adjust it within the app.
[1117] Input: List of suitable clothes, list of things to bring
[1118] Output: An interface to inform the user and allow them to review and adjust

[1138] The system for realizing this invention includes a server, a terminal, and a user. The roles and processes of each will be described in detail below.
[1139] Server Roles
[1140] The server first receives and analyzes data from users and delivery staff. Specifically, it handles the following data:
[1141] Image data of past photos of clothing and equipment of users and delivery personnel
[1142] Text data on the fashion and equipment preferences of users and delivery personnel
[1143] The server uses TensorFlow for image analysis and GPT-4 for analyzing text data of preferences, which generates a style profile and equipment profile for each individual. The server also uses an external weather API (OpenWeatherMap API) to obtain real-time weather information for travel destinations and delivery areas.
[1144] The server then integrates this data and uses a generative AI model to generate a list of optimal clothing and equipment, based on style profile, equipment profile, weather information, and cultural background.
[1145] Additionally, the server automatically generates a list of necessary items based on the generated clothing and equipment list, including eco-friendly items and local brand options in the process.
[1146] Device Role
[1147] The terminal functions as a user interface. First, the user or delivery person uploads photos of their previous outfits and their preferences, which are then sent to the server. The server then displays a list of optimal outfits and equipment, as well as a list of items to bring. The user or delivery person can review this information and make adjustments as necessary.
[1148] User Roles
[1149] The user inputs their own data into the terminal, receives suggestions from the server, and makes preparations based on them. Specifically, the user uses the system as follows:
[1150] 1. Upload past clothing photos and preferences to your device.
[1151] 2. Enter travel destination and delivery area information into the device.
[1152] 3. Check the suggested clothing and packing list and prepare accordingly.
[1153] Specific examples
[1154] Example 1: Rainy day delivery in Shibuya
[1155] User: Upload data on the delivery person's past preferences for waterproof jackets and shoes.
[1156] Server: Analyzes past photos of equipment and preferences to generate a profile. Checks the weather in Shibuya using the OpenWeatherMap API and suggests waterproof jackets, waterproof shoes, and rain bags for rainy days.
[1157] Terminal: Notifies the delivery person of the clothing list and belongings list sent from the server, and allows them to confirm and make adjustments.
[1158] Example prompts to be input to the generative AI model:
[1159] "Please suggest the best clothing and equipment for rainy days for food delivery in Shibuya. Delivery people prefer waterproof jackets and shoes. Also, please suggest eco-friendly items."
[1160] The system allows delivery personnel to prepare efficiently and environmentally, making it easy to select equipment appropriate for weather conditions and cultural backgrounds.
[1161] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1162] Step 1:
[1163] The user inputs past clothing photos and information about their preferences into the terminal. This data is sent from the terminal to the server as image data and text data. The input data includes information such as photos of clothing worn in the past, favorite colors, designs, and particularly favorite fashion styles.
[1164] Input: Past clothing photos (image data), preference information (text data)
[1165] Output: Send data to the server
[1166] Step 2:
[1167] The server analyzes the received data. First, it uses TensorFlow to analyze the image data and generate a style profile for the user. Then it uses GPT-4 to analyze the text data of user preferences and create a detailed profile of the individual's fashion style.
[1168] Input: Past clothing photos (image data), preference information (text data)
[1169] Output: Style Profile
[1170] Step 3:
[1171] The user inputs information about the travel destination and delivery area into the terminal, including the name of the destination, the duration, the planned activities and tasks, etc. This information is then sent to the server.
[1172] Input: Travel destination information, delivery area information (text data)
[1173] Output: Send data to the server
[1174] Step 4:
[1175] The server uses the OpenWeatherMap API to obtain real-time weather data for the entered travel destination and delivery area, and uses this information to understand the weather conditions of the travel destination and delivery area.
[1176] Input: Travel destination information, delivery area information (text data)
[1177] Output: Get real-time weather data
[1178] Step 5:
[1179] The server combines the acquired weather data with the generated style and equipment profiles, as well as the input cultural background and trend information. Based on this, a generative AI model (GPT-4) is used to generate the optimal outfit and equipment list. Eco-friendly items and local brand options are also taken into consideration.
[1180] Inputs: Style profile, equipment profile, real-time weather data, cultural context information
[1181] Output: Optimal clothing and equipment list
[1182] Step 6:
[1183] The server sends the generated list of optimal clothing and equipment to the device, which receives it and notifies the user. The user can then check the displayed list and make adjustments as necessary.
[1184] Input: Optimal clothing and equipment list
[1185] Output: Notification to terminal
[1186] Step 7:
[1187] The server automatically generates a list of necessary items to bring based on the suggested clothing and equipment, including eco-friendly items and local brand options, and sends the list to the device and notifies the user.
[1188] Input: Optimal clothing and equipment list
[1189] Output: Generates and notifies inventory list
[1190] Example prompt
[1191] "Please suggest the best clothing and equipment for rainy days for food delivery in Shibuya. Delivery people prefer waterproof jackets and shoes. Also, please suggest eco-friendly items."
[1192] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[1193] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[1194] The system of the present invention combines a means for analyzing a user's past clothing photos and preferences to generate a personal style profile, a means for obtaining the latest weather data for the travel destination and understanding climate information in real time, a means for suggesting clothing that matches the style taking into consideration the culture and trends of the travel destination, a means for automatically generating a list of necessary items to bring based on the suggested clothing, a means for supporting the user in preventing duplication or shortages when packing, a means for recommending environmentally friendly fashion items, and an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions.
[1195] Program processing and explanation
[1196] Generate a style profile
[1197] When a user logs in to the application, they first upload photos of their previous outfits and their preferences (color, design, etc.), then enter their details into an input form. The device then sends this data to the server.
[1198] The server uses an image analysis model to extract the user's style characteristics from the uploaded image data. At the same time, it uses a natural language processing model to analyze the text data and identify specific preferences for color, design, material, etc. Based on this information, the server creates a user profile and stores it in a database. This clarifies the user's past style information and preferences.
[1199] Obtaining travel information
[1200] After the user inputs the travel destination information, the user's device then transmits the travel destination, travel period, and planned activities to the server. Based on the received information, the server obtains real-time weather data (weather forecast, temperature, humidity, etc.) for the travel destination from an external weather API, stores this weather data in a database, and associates it with the user's travel information.
[1201] Generating recommendations
[1202] The server uses generative AI to create an optimal outfit list based on the user's profile, weather information, and cultural background. The generated outfit list includes items that are appropriate for the weather conditions as well as culturally appropriate items. The emotion engine also assesses the user's emotional state at that time and can suggest outfits that are more psychologically satisfying. The recommendations also include environmentally friendly items and local brand options.
[1203] Generate suggestions and packing lists
[1204] The generated clothing suggestion list is sent from the server to the user's device and notified to the user. The user can check the suggested list and make adjustments as necessary. Based on the list, the server automatically generates a list of necessary items to bring, which is also sent to the user's device and notified to the user.

[1325] This invention is a system that streamlines travel preparation for users and suggests clothing appropriate for the climate and culture. This system is composed of interactions between a server, a terminal, and a user. The specific processing procedures and technologies used are described below.
[1326] Generate a style profile
[1327] When a user logs in to the application, they first upload previous clothing photos and personal preferences, and then enter their details. This includes preferences for color, design, and materials. The device then sends this data to the server. The server then uses an image analysis model (e.g., Google Cloud Vision API) to extract the user's style features from the uploaded image data. At the same time, it uses a natural language processing model (e.g., BERT) to analyze the text data and understand the user's preferences. Based on these analysis results, the server creates a user profile and stores it in a database.
[1328] Obtaining travel information
[1329] When a user inputs travel destination information, the device sends the travel destination, travel duration, and planned activities to the server. Based on the received information, the server retrieves real-time climate data (weather forecast, temperature, humidity, etc.) for the travel destination from an external weather API (e.g., OpenWeatherMap API). The retrieved climate data is stored in a database and associated with the user's travel information.
[1330] Generating recommendations
[1331] The server uses a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-4) to generate an optimal outfit list based on the user profile, weather information, and cultural background. This outfit list includes items appropriate for the weather conditions as well as culturally appropriate items. It also uses an emotion engine (e.g., Azure Emotion API) to evaluate the user's emotional state at that time and suggests outfits based on that emotional state. Furthermore, recommendations can also include eco-friendly items and local brand options.
[1332] Generate suggestions and packing lists
[1333] The generated clothing suggestion list is sent from the server to the user's device and notified to the user. The user can review the suggested list and make adjustments as necessary. For example, they can exclude specific items or request additional items. Based on this, the server automatically generates a list of necessary items to bring. This list is also sent to the user's device and notified to the user.

[1394] (Application example 2)
[1395] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1396] Traditionally, food delivery services have struggled to suggest the best dishes to suit a user's style, mood, and climate. They also lacked the functionality to recommend environmentally friendly ingredients and local brands, which resulted in an unsatisfactory user experience. Therefore, there is a need for a system that provides food delivery options that take into account a user's style, mood, climate, and environmental considerations.
[1397] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.
[1398] In this invention, the server includes means for analyzing a user's past clothing photos and preferences to generate a personal style profile, means for acquiring the latest weather data for the user's current location to grasp climate information in real time, means for integrating the generated style profile with the climate information and cultural background to propose optimal food delivery options, means for automatically generating an optimal dish list based on the proposed food delivery options, and means for recommending dishes made with environmentally friendly ingredients and local brands, thereby making it possible to provide optimal food delivery options that suit the user's style, mood, and climate.
[1399] "Photos of the user's past clothing" are photos of clothing worn by the user in the past, and are data for generating a style profile.
[1400] "Preferences" refers to the user's fashion-related preferences, such as favorite colors, designs, and materials.
[1401] A "style profile" refers to the results of an analysis of a user's personal fashion style based on past clothing photos and preferences.
[1402] "Weather data" refers to information related to the climate, such as temperature, humidity, and weather forecasts, and is data that can be obtained in real time.
[1403] "Means for grasping weather information in real time" refers to a means for quickly obtaining the latest weather data and accurately grasping the weather conditions at the user's current location.
[1404] "Food delivery options" refers to the types of food and restaurants available for delivery, and are used to fulfill a customer's order.
[1405] "Dish List" means a list of specific dishes based on a proposed food delivery option.
[1406] "Environmentally conscious ingredients" are sustainable ingredients selected to contribute to environmental protection.
[1407] "Locally branded cuisine" refers to food and drink produced and served within a region, reflecting local culture and flavors.
[1408] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence model that generates natural language and images based on input data.
[1409] A "prompt" is an instruction given to a generative AI model to obtain an appropriate output.
[1410] This invention is a system that generates a personal style profile based on the user's past clothing photos and preferences, and also obtains the latest weather data to suggest optimal options for food delivery services. The system is implemented by a user terminal and a server working together.
[1411] Program processing explanation
[1412] 1. Create a user profile
[1413] The user's device uploads photos of their previous clothing and their preferences to the application. The uploaded data is analyzed using an image analysis model (TensorFlow or PyTorch) to extract the user's fashion style characteristics. In addition, text information about the user's preferences is analyzed using a natural language processing model (such as BERT). Based on these analysis results, the server generates the user's style profile and stores it in a cloud database (such as Firebase).
[1414] 2. Obtaining weather information
[1415] The user's device acquires their current location information and sends it to the server. The server then retrieves real-time weather data from a weather data API (such as OpenWeatherMap) based on the location information. This weather data is stored in a cloud database and associated with the user's style profile.
[1416] 3. Generating Recommendations
[1417] The server integrates the generated style profile with weather data and uses a generative AI model (such as GPT-3) to suggest optimal food delivery options. The generated list includes meal options that suit the user's current style and weather conditions, allowing them to choose the best dishes to suit their mood and environment.
[1418] 4. Suggestions and Notifications
[1419] The generated food list is sent from the server to the user's device and notified to the user. The user can review the suggested dish list and make adjustments as necessary. This allows the user to order the meal that best suits their mood and environment that day.
[1420] Specific examples
[1421] Example 1: Lunch on a hot summer day (casual style)
[1422] User: Prefers casual style and has often worn T-shirts and shorts in the past.
[1423] Current location and climate: Tokyo, July, temperature 35°C, humidity 75%
[1424] session:
[1425] The user's device uploads past clothing photos and preferences to the server.
[1426] The server generates a style profile using image analysis and natural language processing.
[1427] The server uses a weather data API to obtain weather information for the current location.
[1428] A generative AI model (GPT-3) generates suggestions such as cold drinks and light salads.
[1429] A list of suggested foods is sent to the user's device, such as chilled salad, iced latte, and chilled tofu.
[1430] Example prompt: "Please suggest some dishes that would make you feel casual in Tokyo during the summer. The user's preference is casual, and the days are often hot."
[1431] Example 2: Winter evening dinner (formal style)
[1432] User: Prefers formal style and has worn suits and coats many times in the past.
[1433] Current location and climate: New York, December, 0°C, snow
[1434] session:
[1435] The user's device uploads past clothing photos and preferences to the server.
[1436] The server generates a style profile using image analysis and natural language processing.
[1437] The server uses a weather data API to obtain weather information for the current location.
[1438] A generative AI model (GPT-3) generates suggestions for hot soups, stews, and other dishes.
[1439] A list of suggested foods is sent to the user's device, such as tomato soup, a glass of wine, and warm bread.
[1440] Example prompt: "What are some recommendations for a formal winter dinner in New York? Something suitable for a cold or snowy day would be good."
[1441] In this way, our system can provide optimal food delivery options by integrating a user's past clothing photos and preferences with current weather information and using a generative AI model, allowing users to enjoy the food that best suits their mood and environment.
[1442] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1443] Step 1:
[1444] When a user logs in to the application, the user's device uploads past clothing photos and preference data. The user enters past clothing photos (image files) and text information about preferences (color, design, material, etc.) into an input form. The uploaded data is sent to the server. (Input): Past clothing photos, text information about the user's preferences (Output): Data sent to the server
[1445] Step 2:
[1446] The server performs image analysis based on the received data. The image analysis model (TensorFlow or PyTorch) analyzes the uploaded image file and extracts the user's style characteristics (type of clothing, color, design, material, etc.). At the same time, a natural language processing model (BERT, etc.) analyzes the text information to specifically understand the user's preferences. (Input): Uploaded image file and text information (Output): Analysis results of style characteristics and preferences
[1447] Step 3:
[1448] The server generates a style profile for the user based on the analysis results. The style profile integrates data extracted from the user's past clothing photos and preferences, and clearly indicates the user's fashion trends. The generated style profile is stored in a cloud database (such as Firebase). (Input): Analysis results of style features and preferences (Output): Generated style profile
[1449] Step 4:
[1450] The user device acquires the user's current location information and sends it to the server. The server uses a weather data API (such as OpenWeatherMap) based on the received current location information to acquire real-time weather data (temperature, humidity, weather forecast, etc.). The acquired weather data is stored in a cloud database and associated with the user's style profile. (Input): Current location information (Output): Acquired weather data
[1451] Step 5:
[1452] The server combines the generated style profile with weather data and generates optimal food delivery options using a generative AI model (such as GPT-3). The generative AI model creates an optimal dish list based on the user's mood, style, and climate based on the prompt. (Input): Style profile, weather data, prompt (Output): Optimal food delivery options
[1453] Step 6:
[1454] The server sends the generated food list to the user's device and notifies the user. The user can review the proposed food list and make adjustments as necessary. The final adjusted list is sent back to the server, and the necessary information is stored in the cloud database. (Input): Generated food list (Output): Food list sent to the user's device
[1455] This allows users to choose the dish that best suits their mood and the environment at the time and enjoy a comfortable meal.
[1456] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[1457] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet Search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.

[1543] "Notification" is a means of communicating information to the user about the generated clothing list and belongings list.
[1544] "Eco-friendly fashion items" are clothing and accessories made using sustainable materials and processes that take into consideration their environmental impact.
[1545] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[1546] The system of the present invention is designed to enable users planning a trip or business trip to efficiently select appropriate clothing and generate a packing list. The system includes a means for analyzing the user's past clothing photos and preferences to generate a personal style profile, a means for obtaining the latest weather data for the travel destination to understand climate information in real time, a means for suggesting appropriate clothing taking into account the culture and trends of the travel destination, a means for automatically generating a necessary packing list based on the suggested clothing, a means for providing support in preventing duplications and shortages when packing, and a means for recommending environmentally friendly fashion items.
[1547] To use this system, users use devices such as smartphones or PCs. First, they log in to the application, upload photos of their previous outfits, and enter their preferred styles, colors, and designs in the input form. This data is then sent from the device to the server.
[1548] The server analyzes the data using image analysis tools (e.g., OpenCV and TensorFlow) and natural language processing tools (e.g., NLTK and spaCy) to generate a style profile for the user, which is then stored in a database.
[1549] Next, the user inputs their travel destination, travel duration, and planned activities. This information is also sent to the server via the device. The server retrieves real-time weather data from external weather APIs (e.g., OpenWeatherMap API or Weatherstack API) and correlates it with the weather conditions at the travel destination.
[1550] The server provides the user's style profile, weather data, and cultural background as input data to a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-4) and sends a prompt. Specific examples of prompts are as follows:
[1551] "The user's style profile is casual. The travel destination is Tokyo, where the temperature is high and humidity is high in July. The primary focus is sightseeing. Please generate an optimal outfit list."
[1552] Based on these prompts, the generative AI model generates a list of appropriate outfits, which the server then sends to the user's device. The list includes items that match the user's preferences, as well as items suited to the climate and culture of the destination. It also suggests eco-friendly fashion items and local brand options.
[1553] The server then automatically generates a list of necessary items to bring based on the clothing list and sends it to the user's device, allowing the user to efficiently prepare for a trip or business trip and easily select appropriate clothing and items to bring.
[1554] For example, if a user is traveling to Tokyo in July, a casual T-shirt, shorts, and breathable sneakers will be recommended based on temperature and humidity information obtained from the weather API. Additional necessary items (e.g., sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, etc.) will also be automatically added to the recommended list. The device will notify the user of this information, allowing them to review and adjust the recommended list as needed.
[1555] The above is a specific embodiment for carrying out the present invention. This system allows the user to easily select clothing and items suitable for the weather and specific activities of the day.
[1556] The flow of the identification process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[1559] Specifically, users select a photo from their smartphone or computer, fill out the form with details about their style (e.g., "casual" or "formal"), and their preferred colors and design, and then press the "Submit" button.
[1560] Input: Clothing photo file, preferred style, color, design (text)
[1561] Output: User information dataset (photo files and text information)
[1562] Step 2: Send user data
[1563] The device packages the collected user data into packets and sends them to the server as HTTP requests.
[1564] In specific operation, the terminal transmits photo data and text data to the server via the network.
[1565] Input: User information dataset
[1566] Output: User information data sent to the server
[1567] Step 3: Generate a User Style Profile
[1568] The server analyzes the clothing photos using image analysis tools (e.g., OpenCV and TensorFlow) and analyzes the text data using natural language processing tools (e.g., NLTK and spaCy), generating a style profile for the user and storing it in a database.
[1569] In concrete terms, the server uses image recognition algorithms to extract style elements from photos and then integrates them with the results of analyzing text data to build a style profile.
[1570] Input: User information data (photo and text)
[1571] Output: Style profile (stored in database)
[1572] Step 4: Enter your destination information
[1573] The user enters the travel destination, travel duration, and planned activities into the application's travel information input form.
[1574] Specifically, the user fills in the form with "travel destination," "travel period," and "activities," and presses the "Submit" button.
[1575] Input: Travel destination, travel period, activities (text)
[1576] Output: Travel information dataset
[1577] Step 5: Obtaining Weather Data
[1578] The server sends a request to an external weather API (e.g., OpenWeatherMap API or Weatherstack API) to obtain real-time weather data for the travel destination.
[1579] In specific operation, the server sends an HTTP request to the API and receives the acquired weather data.
[1580] Input: Travel destination information (text)
[1581] Output: Real-time weather data
[1582] Step 6: Generate the outfit list
[1583] The server sends prompts to a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-4) that integrates the user's style profile, weather data, and cultural background, and the generative AI model generates a list of appropriate outfits.
[1584] Specifically, the AI provides a prompt example that reads, "The user's style profile is casual. The travel destination is Tokyo, where the temperature and humidity are high in July. Sightseeing will be the main focus. Please generate a list of the most suitable outfits." The AI then returns a list of T-shirts, shorts, sneakers, etc.

[1616] The system for realizing this invention includes a server, a terminal, and a user. The roles and processes of each will be described in detail below.
[1617] Server Roles
[1618] The server first receives and analyzes data from users and delivery staff. Specifically, it handles the following data:
[1619] Image data of past photos of clothing and equipment of users and delivery personnel
[1620] Text data on the fashion and equipment preferences of users and delivery personnel
[1621] The server uses TensorFlow for image analysis and GPT-4 for analyzing text data of preferences, which generates a style profile and equipment profile for each individual. The server also uses an external weather API (OpenWeatherMap API) to obtain real-time weather information for travel destinations and delivery areas.
[1622] The server then integrates this data and uses a generative AI model to generate a list of optimal clothing and equipment, based on style profile, equipment profile, weather information, and cultural background.
[1623] Additionally, the server automatically generates a list of necessary items based on the generated clothing and equipment list, including eco-friendly items and local brand options in the process.
[1624] Device Role
[1625] The terminal functions as a user interface. First, the user or delivery person uploads photos of their previous outfits and their preferences, which are then sent to the server. The server then displays a list of optimal outfits and equipment, as well as a list of items to bring. The user or delivery person can review this information and make adjustments as necessary.
[1626] User Roles
[1627] The user inputs their own data into the terminal, receives suggestions from the server, and makes preparations based on them. Specifically, the user uses the system as follows:
[1628] 1. Upload past clothing photos and preferences to your device.
[1629] 2. Enter travel destination and delivery area information into the device.
[1630] 3. Check the suggested clothing and packing list and prepare accordingly.
[1631] Specific examples
[1632] Example 1: Rainy day delivery in Shibuya
[1633] User: Upload data on the delivery person's past preferences for waterproof jackets and shoes.
[1634] Server: Analyzes past photos of equipment and preferences to generate a profile. Checks the weather in Shibuya using the OpenWeatherMap API and suggests waterproof jackets, waterproof shoes, and rain bags for rainy days.
[1635] Terminal: Notifies the delivery person of the clothing list and belongings list sent from the server, and allows them to confirm and make adjustments.
[1636] Example prompts to be input to the generative AI model:
[1637] "Please suggest the best clothing and equipment for rainy days for food delivery in Shibuya. Delivery people prefer waterproof jackets and shoes. Also, please suggest eco-friendly items."

The input data includes information such as photos of clothing worn in the past, favorite colors, designs, and particularly favorite fashion styles.
[1642] Input: Past clothing photos (image data), preference information (text data)
[1643] Output: Send data to the server
[1644] Step 2:
[1645] The server analyzes the received data. First, it uses TensorFlow to analyze the image data and generate a style profile for the user. Then it uses GPT-4 to analyze the text data of user preferences and create a detailed profile of the individual's fashion style.
[1646] Input: Past clothing photos (image data), preference information (text data)
[1647] Output: Style Profile
[1648] Step 3:
[1649] The user inputs information about the travel destination and delivery area into the terminal, including the name of the destination, the duration, the planned activities and tasks, etc. This information is then sent to the server.
[1650] Input: Travel destination information, delivery area information (text data)
[1651] Output: Send data to the server
[1652] Step 4:
[1653] The server uses the OpenWeatherMap API to obtain real-time weather data for the entered travel destination and delivery area, and uses this information to understand the weather conditions of the travel destination and delivery area.
[1654] Input: Travel destination information, delivery area information (text data)
[1655] Output: Get real-time weather data
[1656] Step 5:
[1657] The server combines the acquired weather data with the generated style and equipment profiles, as well as the input cultural background and trend information. Based on this, a generative AI model (GPT-4) is used to generate the optimal outfit and equipment list. Eco-friendly items and local brand options are also taken into consideration.
[1658] Inputs: Style profile, equipment profile, real-time weather data, cultural context information
[1659] Output: Optimal clothing and equipment list
[1660] Step 6:
[1661] The server sends the generated list of optimal clothing and equipment to the device, which receives it and notifies the user. The user can then check the displayed list and make adjustments as necessary.
[1662] Input: Optimal clothing and equipment list
[1663] Output: Notification to terminal
[1664] Step 7:
[1665] The server automatically generates a list of necessary items to bring based on the suggested clothing and equipment, including eco-friendly items and local brand options, and sends the list to the device and notifies the user.
[1666] Input: Optimal clothing and equipment list
[1667] Output: Generates and notifies inventory list
[1668] Example prompt
[1669] "Please suggest the best clothing and equipment for rainy days for food delivery in Shibuya. Delivery people prefer waterproof jackets and shoes. Also, please suggest eco-friendly items."
[1670] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[1671] MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[1672] The system of the present invention combines a means for analyzing a user's past clothing photos and preferences to generate a personal style profile, a means for obtaining the latest weather data for the travel destination and understanding climate information in real time, a means for suggesting clothing that matches the style taking into consideration the culture and trends of the travel destination, a means for automatically generating a list of necessary items to bring based on the suggested clothing, a means for supporting the user in preventing duplication or shortages when packing, a means for recommending environmentally friendly fashion items, and an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions.
[1673] Program processing and explanation
[1674] Generate a style profile
[1675] When a user logs in to the application, they first upload photos of their previous outfits and their preferences (color, design, etc.), then enter their details into an input form. The device then sends this data to the server.
[1676] The server uses an image analysis model to extract the user's style characteristics from the uploaded image data. At the same time, it uses a natural language processing model to analyze the text data and identify specific preferences for color, design, material, etc. Based on this information, the server creates a user profile and stores it in a database. This clarifies the user's past style information and preferences.
[1677] Obtaining travel information
[1678] After the user inputs the travel destination information, the user's device then transmits the travel destination, travel period, and planned activities to the server. Based on the received information, the server obtains real-time weather data (weather forecast, temperature, humidity, etc.) for the travel destination from an external weather API, stores this weather data in a database, and associates it with the user's travel information.
[1679] Generating recommendations
[1680] The server uses generative AI to create an optimal outfit list based on the user's profile, weather information, and cultural background. The generated outfit list includes items that are appropriate for the weather conditions as well as culturally appropriate items. The emotion engine also assesses the user's emotional state at that time and can suggest outfits that are more psychologically satisfying. The recommendations also include environmentally friendly items and local brand options.
[1681] Generate suggestions and packing lists
[1682] The generated clothing suggestion list is sent from the server to the user's device and notified to the user. The user can check the suggested list and make adjustments as necessary. Based on the list, the server automatically generates a list of necessary items to bring, which is also sent to the user's device and notified to the user.

[1785] Example 2
[1786] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1787] Modern travelers need to choose appropriate clothing, taking into account the climate, culture, and trends of their destination. Automatically generating a packing list and incorporating environmental considerations and personal emotional state is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Conventional systems were unable to perform these processes efficiently and comprehensively, placing a heavy burden on travel preparation.
[1788] The identification process by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means. In this invention, the server includes a means for analyzing the user's past clothing photos and preferences to generate a personal style profile, a means for acquiring the latest weather data for the travel destination and understanding the weather information in real time, and a means for evaluating the user's emotional state and suggesting optimal clothing based on the evaluation. This allows travelers to efficiently prepare for their trip and select appropriate clothing that suits the climate and culture.
[1789] "User" refers to an individual who uses the system to prepare for a trip or select fashion.
[1790] "Past clothing photos" refer to photos of clothing previously worn by a user, and are data used to generate a style profile.
[1791] "Preferences" refers to information about the user's preferred fashion style, color, design, and material.
[1792] A "style profile" is data that represents a user's personal fashion trends and is generated based on the user's past clothing photos and preferences.
[1793] "Travel Destination" refers to the place that the User intends to visit.
[1794] "Weather data" refers to real-time weather information such as weather forecast, temperature, and humidity at your travel destination.

[1802] "Generative AI" refers to an artificial intelligence model trained on a large dataset, which is used here to generate the outfit list.
[1803] This invention is a system that streamlines travel preparation for users and suggests clothing appropriate for the climate and culture. This system is composed of interactions between a server, a terminal, and a user. The specific processing procedures and technologies used are described below.
[1804] Generate a style profile
[1805] When a user logs in to the application, they first upload previous clothing photos and personal preferences, and then enter their details. This includes preferences for color, design, and materials. The device then sends this data to the server. The server then uses an image analysis model (e.g., Google Cloud Vision API) to extract the user's style features from the uploaded image data. At the same time, it uses a natural language processing model (e.g., BERT) to analyze the text data and understand the user's preferences. Based on these analysis results, the server creates a user profile and stores it in a database.
[1806] Obtaining travel information
[1807] When a user inputs travel destination information, the device sends the travel destination, travel duration, and planned activities to the server. Based on the received information, the server retrieves real-time climate data (weather forecast, temperature, humidity, etc.) for the travel destination from an external weather API (e.g., OpenWeatherMap API). The retrieved climate data is stored in a database and associated with the user's travel information.
[1808] Generating recommendations
[1809] The server uses a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-4) to generate an optimal outfit list based on the user profile, weather information, and cultural background. This outfit list includes items appropriate for the weather conditions as well as culturally appropriate items. It also uses an emotion engine (e.g., Azure Emotion API) to evaluate the user's emotional state at that time and suggests outfits based on that emotional state. Furthermore, recommendations can also include eco-friendly items and local brand options.
[1810] Generate suggestions and packing lists
[1811] The generated clothing suggestion list is sent from the server to the user's device and notified to the user. The user can review the suggested list and make adjustments as necessary. For example, they can exclude specific items or request additional items. Based on this, the server automatically generates a list of necessary items to bring. This list is also sent to the user's device and notified to the user.

[1856] Data processing / calculation: Call the API, analyze the acquired data, and save information such as weather forecast, temperature, and humidity in a database.
[1857] Output: Weather data is stored in a database and linked to the user's travel information.
[1858] Step 5: The server uses the generative AI model to generate the optimal outfit list.
[1859] Input: User profile, destination climate data, cultural background.
[1860] How it works: The server uses a generative AI model (e.g., GPT-4) to generate an outfit list based on the input data, and an emotion engine (e.g., Azure Emotion API) to assess the user's current emotional state.
[1861] Data processing / calculation: Combining the user's past data with real-time weather data and cultural background, the system generates an optimal outfit list. It also takes into account emotional data.
[1862] Output: The generated outfit list, which is provided to the user as a suggestion list.
[1863] Step 6: The server automatically generates a list of items to bring based on the suggested clothing list.
[1864] Input: Generated outfit list.
[1865] How it works: The server automatically lists the necessary items based on the clothing list.
[1866] Data processing / calculation: Analyze the suggested clothing items and select the necessary items based on them.
[1867] Output: An automatically generated inventory list, which is sent to the user's device.
[1868] Step 7: The user terminal notifies the user of the clothing list and belongings list, and the user confirms and adjusts them.
[1869] Input: Outfit list and inventory list sent from the server.
[1870] Action: The user device presents the list to the user, who can review it and make adjustments as needed, for example, adding or removing specific items.
[1871] Output: Finalized outfit and packing list.
[1872] (Application example 2)
[1873] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1874] Traditionally, food delivery services have struggled to suggest the best dishes to suit a user's style, mood, and climate. They also lacked the functionality to recommend environmentally friendly ingredients and local brands, which resulted in an unsatisfactory user experience. Therefore, there is a need for a system that provides food delivery options that take into account a user's style, mood, climate, and environmental considerations.
[1875] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 2 is realized by the following means.
[1876] In this invention, the server includes means for analyzing a user's past clothing photos and preferences to generate a personal style profile, means for acquiring the latest weather data for the user's current location to grasp climate information in real time, means for integrating the generated style profile with the climate information and cultural background to propose optimal food delivery options, means for automatically generating an optimal dish list based on the proposed food delivery options, and means for recommending dishes made with environmentally friendly ingredients and local brands, thereby making it possible to provide optimal food delivery options that suit the user's style, mood, and climate.
[1877] "Photos of the user's past clothing" are photos of clothing worn by the user in the past, and are data for generating a style profile.
[1878] "Preferences" refers to the user's fashion-related preferences, such as favorite colors, designs, and materials.
[1879] A "style profile" refers to the results of an analysis of a user's personal fashion style based on past clothing photos and preferences.
[1880] "Weather data" refers to information related to the climate, such as temperature, humidity, and weather forecasts, and is data that can be obtained in real time.
[1881] "Means for grasping weather information in real time" refers to a means for quickly obtaining the latest weather data and accurately grasping the weather conditions at the user's current location.
[1882] "Food delivery options" refers to the types of food and restaurants available for delivery, and are used to fulfill a customer's order.
[1883] "Dish List" means a list of specific dishes based on a proposed food delivery option.
[1884] "Environmentally conscious ingredients" are sustainable ingredients selected to contribute to environmental protection.
[1885] "Locally branded cuisine" refers to food and drink produced and served within a region, reflecting local culture and flavors.
[1886] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence model that generates natural language and images based on input data.
[1887] A "prompt" is an instruction given to a generative AI model to obtain an appropriate output.
[1888] This invention is a system that generates a personal style profile based on the user's past clothing photos and preferences, and also obtains the latest weather data to suggest optimal options for food delivery services. The system is implemented by a user terminal and a server working together.
[1889] Program processing explanation
[1890] 1. Create a user profile
[1891] The user's device uploads photos of their previous clothing and their preferences to the application. The uploaded data is analyzed using an image analysis model (TensorFlow or PyTorch) to extract the user's fashion style characteristics. In addition, text information about the user's preferences is analyzed using a natural language processing model (such as BERT). Based on these analysis results, the server generates the user's style profile and stores it in a cloud database (such as Firebase).
[1892] 2. Obtaining weather information
[1893] The user's device acquires their current location information and sends it to the server. The server then retrieves real-time weather data from a weather data API (such as OpenWeatherMap) based on the location information. This weather data is stored in a cloud database and associated with the user's style profile.
[1894] 3. Generating Recommendations
[1895] The server integrates the generated style profile with weather data and uses a generative AI model (such as GPT-3) to suggest optimal food delivery options. The generated list includes meal options that suit the user's current style and weather conditions, allowing them to choose the best dishes to suit their mood and environment.
[1896] 4. Suggestions and Notifications
[1897] The generated food list is sent from the server to the user's device and notified to the user. The user can review the suggested dish list and make adjustments as necessary. This allows the user to order the meal that best suits their mood and environment that day.
[1898] Specific examples
[1899] Example 1: Lunch on a hot summer day (casual style)
[1900] User: Prefers casual style and has often worn T-shirts and shorts in the past.
[1901] Current location and climate: Tokyo, July, temperature 35°C, humidity 75%
[1902] session:
[1903] The user's device uploads past clothing photos and preferences to the server.
[1904] The server generates a style profile using image analysis and natural language processing.
[1905] The server uses a weather data API to obtain weather information for the current location.
[1906] A generative AI model (GPT-3) generates suggestions such as cold drinks and light salads.
[1907] A list of suggested foods is sent to the user's device, such as chilled salad, iced latte, and chilled tofu.
[1908] Example prompt: "Please suggest some dishes that would make you feel casual in Tokyo during the summer. The user's preference is casual, and the days are often hot."
[1909] Example 2: Winter evening dinner (formal style)
[1910] User: Prefers formal style and has worn suits and coats many times in the past.
[1911] Current location and climate: New York, December, 0°C, snow
[1912] session:
[1913] The user's device uploads past clothing photos and preferences to the server.
[1914] The server generates a style profile using image analysis and natural language processing.
[1915] The server uses a weather data API to obtain weather information for the current location.
[1916] A generative AI model (GPT-3) generates suggestions for hot soups, stews, and other dishes.
[1917] A list of suggested foods is sent to the user's device, such as tomato soup, a glass of wine, and warm bread.
[1918] Example prompt: "What are some recommendations for a formal winter dinner in New York? Something suitable for a cold or snowy day would be good."
[1919] In this way, our system can provide optimal food delivery options by integrating a user's past clothing photos and preferences with current weather information and using a generative AI model, allowing users to enjoy the food that best suits their mood and environment.
[1920] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1921] Step 1:
[1922] When a user logs in to the application, the user's device uploads past clothing photos and preference data. The user enters past clothing photos (image files) and text information about preferences (color, design, material, etc.) into an input form. The uploaded data is sent to the server. (Input): Past clothing photos, text information about the user's preferences (Output): Data sent to the server
[1923] Step 2:
[1924] The server performs image analysis based on the received data. The image analysis model (TensorFlow or PyTorch) analyzes the uploaded image file and extracts the user's style characteristics (type of clothing, color, design, material, etc.). At the same time, a natural language processing model (BERT, etc.) analyzes the text information to specifically understand the user's preferences. (Input): Uploaded image file and text information (Output): Analysis results of style characteristics and preferences
[1925] Step 3:
[1926] The server generates a style profile for the user based on the analysis results. The style profile integrates data extracted from the user's past clothing photos and preferences, and clearly indicates the user's fashion trends. The generated style profile is stored in a cloud database (such as Firebase). (Input): Analysis results of style features and preferences (Output): Generated style profile
[1927] Step 4:
[1928] The user device acquires the user's current location information and sends it to the server. The server uses a weather data API (such as OpenWeatherMap) based on the received current location information to acquire real-time weather data (temperature, humidity, weather forecast, etc.). The acquired weather data is stored in a cloud database and associated with the user's style profile. (Input): Current location information (Output): Acquired weather data
[1929] Step 5:
[1930] The server combines the generated style profile with weather data and generates optimal food delivery options using a generative AI model (such as GPT-3). The generative AI model creates an optimal dish list based on the user's mood, style, and climate based on the prompt. (Input): Style profile, weather data, prompt (Output): Optimal food delivery options
[1931] Step 6:
[1932] The server sends the generated food list to the user's device and notifies the user. The user can review the proposed food list and make adjustments as necessary. The final adjusted list is sent back to the server, and the necessary information is stored in the cloud database. (Input): Generated food list (Output): Food list sent to the user's device
[1933] This allows users to choose the dish that best suits their mood and the environment at the time and enjoy a comfortable meal.
[1934] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.
[1935] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet Search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.
[1936] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.
[1937] 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.
[1938] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating 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 actions arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion includes both affect 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.
[1939] 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.
[1940] 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).
[1941] 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. Emotions can also be created for robots, automobiles, 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on Voice Emotion Recognition and Emotional Brain Physiological Signal Analysis Systems, Tokushima University, Doctoral Dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "reaction" domain, where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "situation" domain, where situational awareness is dominant.
[1942] 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."
[1943] 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.
[1944] The system according to the present disclosure has been described above mainly with respect to the functions of the data processing device 12, but the system according to the present disclosure is not necessarily implemented on a server. The system according to the present disclosure may be implemented as a general information processing system. The present disclosure may be implemented, for example, as a software program running on a personal computer or an application running on a smartphone, etc. The method according to the present disclosure may be provided to users in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service).
[1945] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by one computer 22, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be distributed and performed by a plurality of computers including the computer 22. For example, the data generation model 58 may be provided in an external device of the data processing device 12, and data may be generated in the external device in accordance with input data.
[1946] 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.
[1947] 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.
[1948] 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.
[1949] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following processors: An example of a processor 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. Another example of a processor is 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.
[1950] The hardware resource that executes the specific processing 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 processing may be a single processor.
[1951] 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.
[1952] 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.
