[0028] (Example 1) The automatic replenishment system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that automatically replenishes common daily necessities. This system uses AI to shift the trigger for automatic ordering from humans to AI, automatically ordering what is needed at the right time. This allows the automatic replenishment system to automatically replenish common daily necessities and support the user's lifestyle.
[0029] An automatic replenishment system according to an embodiment includes a consumption pattern analysis unit, an order generation unit, a dialogue setting unit, and an ingredient monitoring unit. The consumption pattern analysis unit analyzes a user's consumption pattern. For example, the consumption pattern analysis unit analyzes a user's purchase frequency and purchase amount to identify consumption trends. The consumption pattern analysis unit can also analyze a user's purchase timing to identify the optimal timing for ordering. The order generation unit generates an order based on data analyzed by the consumption pattern analysis unit. For example, the order generation unit automatically generates an order when a consumable item is low. The order generation unit can also generate an order at a specific timing based on a user's instruction. The dialogue setting unit interactively sets the order items and order frequency with the user. For example, the dialogue setting unit allows the user to input instructions via text or voice to set the order items and order frequency. The dialogue setting unit can also set the order items and order frequency using gestures. The ingredient monitoring unit monitors ingredients in a refrigerator. For example, the ingredient monitoring unit measures the remaining amount of ingredients using a camera or weight sensor in the refrigerator. The ingredient monitoring unit can also monitor the storage conditions of ingredients using temperature and humidity sensors. This allows the automatic replenishment system according to the embodiment to automatically replenish common daily necessities, supporting the user's daily life. For example, the user no longer needs to worry about stock of consumables, and can always have what they need on hand. Furthermore, the user can interactively and flexibly set the items and frequency of orders.
[0030] The consumption pattern analysis unit analyzes a user's social media posts and calendar information and can make orders that take into account events or seasonal fluctuations. For example, the consumption pattern analysis unit uses AI to analyze a user's social media posts and identify consumption patterns related to specific events or seasons. For example, if a user posts on social media that they are having a barbecue, the AI will automatically order ingredients and supplies for the barbecue. The consumption pattern analysis unit also analyzes the user's calendar information and makes orders tailored to specific events or plans. For example, if a user has a "family birthday party" registered on their calendar, the AI will automatically order ingredients and decorations for the party. The consumption pattern analysis unit also analyzes a user's past purchase history and social media posts to identify seasonal consumption patterns. For example, if a user tends to order more cold drinks and ice cream in the summer, the AI will automatically make orders accordingly. This makes it possible to make orders that take into account events and seasonal fluctuations.
[0031] The consumption pattern analysis unit can monitor the user's health condition and automatically order vitamins or cold medicine if the user catches a cold. For example, the consumption pattern analysis unit uses AI to monitor the user's health data and automatically order vitamins or cold medicine if it detects signs of a cold. For example, it analyzes the user's body temperature and heart rate data and orders the necessary medicine if an abnormality is detected. The consumption pattern analysis unit also works with the user's health app to monitor changes in health condition in real time. For example, if the user enters "I have a cold" into the health app, the AI automatically orders the necessary medicine based on that information. The consumption pattern analysis unit also monitors the user's health condition over the long term and takes preventive measures against seasonal illnesses. For example, it automatically schedules vaccinations and orders preventive medicine during influenza season. This makes it possible to order products according to the user's health condition.
[0032] The order generation unit can be expanded to handle not only daily necessities but also other categories, such as pet supplies or gardening supplies. For example, the order generation unit uses AI to analyze a user's pet consumption patterns and automatically order pet supplies such as pet food and toys. For example, the order generation unit orders necessary supplies based on the pet's food intake and frequency of play. The order generation unit also uses AI to analyze a user's gardening activities to automatically order gardening supplies. For example, the order generation unit places an order based on the seasonal growth status of plants and the necessary fertilizer and tools. The order generation unit also uses AI to automatically order supplies from specific categories tailored to the user's hobbies and lifestyle. For example, if a user enjoys outdoor activities, the order generation unit automatically orders camping and mountain climbing equipment. This diversifies the types of orders that can be ordered.
[0033] The consumption pattern analysis unit analyzes the consumption patterns of all family members of the user and can place orders based on the needs of the entire family. For example, the consumption pattern analysis unit uses AI to analyze the consumption patterns of all family members and place orders based on the needs of the entire family. For example, it automatically orders ingredients and daily necessities based on the food preferences and consumption amounts of each family member. The consumption pattern analysis unit also monitors the health data of all family members and automatically orders necessary medications and supplements. For example, if someone in the family has an allergy, it will order food and medication appropriate for that person. The consumption pattern analysis unit also automatically orders necessary items based on the lifestyles and events of each family member. For example, it can order travel supplies needed for a family trip or equipment needed for children's school events. This makes it possible to place orders based on the needs of the entire family.
[0034] The dialogue setting unit can set the order items or frequency not only by text but also by voice or gesture. The dialogue setting unit, for example, allows a user to set the order items and frequency by voice. For example, by giving a voice instruction such as "Please place my next order in two weeks," AI analyzes the instruction and sets the order. The dialogue setting unit also uses gesture recognition technology to allow a user to set the order items and frequency by hand movements or facial expressions. For example, by making a specific gesture, AI analyzes the instruction and sets the order. The dialogue setting unit also provides an interface that allows the user to set the order items and frequency by selecting text, voice, or gesture. For example, the user can select the method that is easiest for them to use to make the settings. This diversifies the user interface and improves usability.
[0035] The dialogue setting unit allows the AI to make optimal suggestions based on past data when the user sets the items to be ordered and the frequency of purchases. For example, the dialogue setting unit analyzes the user's past order data and suggests optimal items and frequency of purchases. For example, it might suggest, "It's been a month since your last order. Would you like to reorder the same item?" The dialogue setting unit also presents optimal options based on past data when the user sets the items to be ordered and the frequency of purchases. For example, it might suggest, "Since detergent is usually used up in two weeks, should we set your next order for two weeks later?" The dialogue setting unit also allows the AI to learn the user's consumption patterns and suggest the optimal timing for ordering. For example, it might suggest, "The best time to order toilet paper is on the first day of each month." This reduces the burden on the user and enables optimal ordering.
[0036] The dialogue setting unit can perform settings not only on a smartphone app but also on other devices such as a smartwatch or smart speaker. The dialogue setting unit, for example, enables users to set order items and frequency not only on a smartphone app but also on a smartwatch. For example, settings are performed using the voice recognition function of a smartwatch. The dialogue setting unit also enables users to set order items and frequency by voice using a smart speaker. For example, the user can say, "Alexa, set my next toilet paper order for one week later." The dialogue setting unit also synchronizes setting information between multiple devices, allowing users to set order items and frequency from any device. For example, information set on a smartphone is reflected on a smartwatch or smart speaker. This allows users to set items from multiple devices, improving convenience.
[0037] The dialogue setting unit can suggest the optimal settings by referring to the setting data of other users. For example, the dialogue setting unit uses AI to analyze the setting data of other users and suggest the optimal settings. For example, the dialogue setting unit suggests the optimal order frequency based on the setting data of users living in the same area. Furthermore, when a user makes settings, the dialogue setting unit uses AI to refer to the setting data of other users and present the optimal options. For example, it may suggest, "Many users order this product every two weeks." Furthermore, the dialogue setting unit uses AI to learn the setting data of other users and suggest the optimal setting method. For example, it may suggest, "Users with the same lifestyle choose these settings." This makes it possible to utilize the data of other users to achieve optimal settings.
[0038] The food monitoring unit can monitor food in the refrigerator using not only cameras and weight sensors, but also temperature and humidity sensors. The food monitoring unit, for example, installs temperature and humidity sensors inside the refrigerator to monitor the freshness of food in real time. For example, it detects fluctuations in temperature and humidity and issues an alert to prevent food deterioration. The food monitoring unit also combines temperature and humidity sensors in addition to cameras and weight sensors to build a system for monitoring the freshness of food. For example, it analyzes the storage conditions of food based on temperature and humidity data. The food monitoring unit also uses the temperature and humidity sensors to optimize the environment inside the refrigerator and maintain the freshness of food. For example, it automatically adjusts the refrigerator settings to keep the temperature and humidity within appropriate ranges. This allows for more accurate monitoring of food freshness.
[0039] The ingredient monitoring unit can analyze the expiration dates of ingredients in the refrigerator and suggest recipes that prioritize using ingredients that are close to their expiration date. For example, the ingredient monitoring unit uses AI to analyze the expiration dates of ingredients in the refrigerator and suggest recipes that prioritize using ingredients that are close to their expiration date. For example, it could suggest a "pasta recipe using tomatoes that are close to their expiration date." The ingredient monitoring unit can also build a system where AI suggests optimal recipes based on expiration date data of ingredients in the refrigerator. For example, it could suggest a menu that combines ingredients that are close to their expiration date. The ingredient monitoring unit can also use AI to monitor the expiration dates of ingredients in the refrigerator in real time and automatically generate recipes that prioritize using ingredients that are close to their expiration date. For example, it could suggest a "recipe that uses ingredients that have an expiration date tomorrow." This reduces food waste and allows for more efficient use of ingredients.
[0040] The food monitoring unit can extend food monitoring in the refrigerator to other storage locations, such as the freezer and pantry. For example, the food monitoring unit can extend food monitoring in the refrigerator to the freezer and monitor the inventory status of frozen foods in real time. For example, it measures the remaining amount of food using a camera or weight sensor in the freezer. The food monitoring unit also installs a camera or weight sensor to monitor food in the pantry and monitors the inventory status of dried foods and canned goods in real time. For example, it analyzes the expiration dates of food ingredients in the pantry and automatically orders the necessary ingredients. The food monitoring unit also monitors all storage locations, including the refrigerator, freezer, and pantry, in an integrated manner, building a system for centrally managing food inventory. For example, it orders the most appropriate ingredients based on data from each storage location. This allows for centralized management of food ingredients in multiple storage locations.
[0041] The ingredient monitoring unit can make nutritional balance suggestions to improve the user's diet based on the food data in the refrigerator. For example, the ingredient monitoring unit uses AI to analyze the food data in the refrigerator and make nutritional balance suggestions to improve the user's diet. For example, it might suggest, "You're lacking in vitamin C, would you like to order more oranges?" The ingredient monitoring unit also builds a system in which AI suggests nutritionally balanced recipes based on the food data in the refrigerator. For example, it might suggest "recipes using ingredients rich in protein." The ingredient monitoring unit also uses AI to analyze the user's diet data over a long period of time and identify areas for improvement in nutritional balance. For example, it might suggest, "You've been lacking in calcium in your recent meals, would you like to order more milk?" This can improve the user's diet and support their health.
[0042] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0043] The automatic replenishment system may further include an energy consumption monitoring unit. The energy consumption monitoring unit monitors household power consumption in real time and makes suggestions to optimize energy efficiency. For example, the energy consumption monitoring unit may identify peak power consumption times and make suggestions to reduce power consumption during those times. The energy consumption monitoring unit may also analyze the frequency of use of specific home appliances and suggest energy-efficient alternatives. Furthermore, the energy consumption monitoring unit may analyze household energy consumption data over a long period of time and suggest ways to reduce energy costs. For example, the energy consumption monitoring unit may identify seasonal energy consumption patterns and suggest energy-efficient usage methods. This allows for optimization of household energy consumption and cost reduction.
[0044] The automatic replenishment system may further include a recycling management unit. The recycling management unit monitors the amount of recyclable waste generated in the home and suggests appropriate recycling methods. For example, the recycling management unit may use sensors installed on trash bins in the home to identify the type and amount of recyclable waste. The recycling management unit may also suggest appropriate sorting methods based on local recycling rules. Furthermore, the recycling management unit may manage the collection schedule for recyclable waste and send reminders to the user. For example, the recycling management unit may notify the user when the collection date is approaching and encourage the user to put out the waste at the appropriate time. This improves the efficiency of recycling activities in the home and reduces the environmental impact.
[0045] The automatic replenishment system may further include a security monitoring unit. The security monitoring unit uses security cameras and sensors inside and outside the home to detect abnormal activity and notify the user. For example, if the security monitoring unit detects suspicious activity at night, it may send an alert to the user's smartphone.

[0108] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0109] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.
[0110] In the headset type terminal 314, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. A specific processing program 60 is stored in the storage 50. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the headset type terminal 314 has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can also perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0111] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.
[0112] 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.
[0113] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image. 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. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AIs other than the generative AI. The AI other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.

[0130] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414.

[0131] 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.
[0132] FIG. 9 illustrates an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion encompasses both emotions and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[0133] 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.
[0134] 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).
[0135] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "reaction," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0136] 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."
[0137] 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.
[0138] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers including computer 22.
[0139] 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.
[0140] 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.
[0141] 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.
[0142] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following types of processors: A processor, for example, is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A processor also includes a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.
[0143] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.
[0144] 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.
[0145] 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.
[0146] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used.
