[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0024] 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. 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 process 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.

[0025] 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. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.

[0026] In the smart device 14, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60.

[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) A health management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system in which a user registers their health goals and constraints, and a generation AI creates and provides an optimal meal plan. This allows the health management system to provide an optimal meal plan based on the user's health goals and constraints.

[0029] A health management system according to an embodiment includes a registration unit, a generation unit, and a provision unit. The registration unit allows a user to register health goals and constraints. For example, the user may input information such as a desire to lose weight, a desire to gain muscle, a specific allergy, or a desire to avoid specific ingredients. The generation unit then uses a generation AI to create an optimal meal plan based on the health goals and constraints registered by the registration unit. For example, the generation AI may use a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to create a meal plan tailored to the user's health goals. The generation AI may also use a multimodal generation AI to create a meal plan that accommodates the user's constraints. The provision unit provides the user with the meal plan created by the generation unit. For example, the provision unit may display the meal plan through an app or website. The provision unit may also provide an ingredient shopping list and recipes. This allows the user to easily put the meal plan into practice.

[0030] The registration unit can register a user's health goals and constraints using voice input or image recognition. For example, the registration unit allows a user to register information using voice input when entering health goals and constraints. For example, if a user voice-inputs, "I want to lose 5 kg," the system automatically registers that information. The registration unit also allows a user to register allergy information using image recognition when registering information. For example, if a user takes a photo of an ingredient to which the user is allergic, the system automatically recognizes and registers that information. The registration unit also allows a user to register information using a combination of voice input and image recognition when registering dietary restrictions. For example, if a user voice-inputs, "I want to eat a gluten-free diet," and takes a photo of an ingredient containing gluten, the system automatically registers that information. This allows a user to register information intuitively and quickly.

[0031] The generation unit can analyze the user's past meal history and health data to create a more personalized meal plan. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the user's past meal history and understand their eating habits and preferences to create a more personalized meal plan. For example, the generation AI may propose a new plan based on menu items that the user has previously enjoyed. The generation unit also uses the generation AI to analyze the user's health data (weight, blood pressure, blood sugar level, etc.) and create an optimal meal plan based on that data. For example, a low-carbohydrate meal plan may be proposed for a user with a high blood sugar level. The generation unit also uses the generation AI to comprehensively analyze the user's past meal history and health data to create a more effective meal plan. For example, the generation AI may propose a plan that optimizes the balance of calories and nutrients based on past data. This makes it possible to provide a more personalized meal plan based on the user's past data.

[0032] The provision unit allows the generation AI to take the user's schedule into consideration and suggest recipes that are easy to prepare even during busy times. For example, the provision unit allows the generation AI to take the user's schedule into consideration and suggest recipes that are easy to prepare even during busy times. For example, it may suggest a smoothie that can be made in five minutes during busy mornings. The provision unit also allows the generation AI to adjust meal plans based on the user's schedule data and suggest menus that are easy to prepare during busy times. For example, it may suggest simple menus such as salads and sandwiches for lunch. The provision unit also allows the generation AI to monitor the user's schedule in real time and suggest recipes that are easy to prepare during busy times. For example, it may suggest frozen meals that only need to be heated in the microwave for dinner. This makes it possible to provide recipes that are easy to prepare according to the user's schedule.

[0033] The provision unit allows the generation AI to take into account the user's ingredient inventory and make suggestions to reduce waste. For example, the provision unit allows the generation AI to take into account the user's ingredient inventory and propose a meal plan to reduce waste. For example, it may propose a menu using vegetables that are left over in the refrigerator. The provision unit also allows the generation AI to adjust the meal plan based on the ingredient inventory data of the user and make suggestions to reduce waste. For example, it may propose a menu that prioritizes ingredients that are close to their expiration date. The provision unit also allows the generation AI to monitor the user's ingredient inventory in real time and provide a meal plan to reduce waste. For example, it may propose recipes to use up ingredients in the refrigerator. This makes it possible to make suggestions to reduce the user's ingredient waste.

[0034] The provision unit allows the generation AI to continuously improve the meal plan based on user feedback. For example, the provision unit allows the generation AI to collect user feedback and continuously improve the meal plan based on that data. For example, if a user rates a menu as "delicious," the provision unit suggests a similar menu. The provision unit also allows the generation AI to adjust the meal plan based on user feedback and provide a more satisfying plan. For example, if a user rates a menu as "too much," the provision unit suggests a menu with reduced portions next time. The provision unit also allows the generation AI to collect user feedback in real time and improve the meal plan based on that data. For example, if a user rates a menu as "bland," the provision unit suggests a menu with adjusted flavor next time. This allows the meal plan to be continuously improved based on user feedback.

[0035] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0036] The provider can link the user's meal plan with other health management devices. For example, it can link with a fitness tracker to suggest a meal plan based on the amount of exercise. It can also link with a smartwatch to adjust the meal plan based on heart rate and sleep data. It can also link with a blood glucose monitor to provide a meal plan based on fluctuations in blood glucose levels. This enables comprehensive health management in collaboration with other health management devices.

[0037] The provision unit can adjust the user's meal plan according to local ingredients and the season. For example, it can propose a menu using local agricultural products. It can also propose a menu incorporating seasonal ingredients. It can also provide a meal plan that incorporates traditional and local dishes of the region. This makes it possible to provide a meal plan that is appropriate for the region and the season.

[0038] The provider can provide a function for sharing a user's meal plan with family and friends. For example, a meal plan tailored to the health goals of the whole family can be created and shared. A sharing function for practicing the meal plan together with friends can also be provided. Furthermore, it is possible to share the meal plan on social media and exchange information with other users. This allows health management to be carried out together with family and friends.

[0039] The provider can adjust the user's meal plan to accommodate travel and outings. For example, the provider can propose a meal plan based on the menus offered at restaurants at the travel destination. It can also propose menus using ingredients that can be easily purchased while out and about. It can also provide meal plans that incorporate the food culture and local specialties of the travel destination. This allows the user to continue managing their health even when traveling or out and about.

[0040] The provider can tailor the user's meal plan to suit a specific event or occasion. For example, it can suggest special menus for birthdays or anniversaries. It can also suggest menus for seasonal events (Christmas, Halloween, etc.). It can also provide meal plans tailored to sporting events or parties. This allows the provider to provide meal plans tailored to specific events or occasions.

[0041] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0042] Step 1: The registration section allows the user to register their health goals and constraints. For example, the user may enter information such as wanting to lose weight, wanting to gain muscle, having a specific allergy, or wanting to avoid certain foods. Step 2: The generation unit uses the generation AI to create an optimal meal plan based on the health goals and constraints registered by the registration unit. For example, the generation AI may use a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) to create a meal plan tailored to the user's health goals. The generation AI may also use a multimodal generation AI to create a meal plan that accommodates the user's constraints. Step 3: The providing unit provides the meal plan created by the generating unit to the user. For example, the providing unit displays the meal plan through an app or website. The providing unit also provides a shopping list of ingredients and recipes. This allows the user to easily put the meal plan into practice.

[0043] (Example 2) A health management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system in which a user registers their health goals and constraints, and a generation AI creates and provides an optimal meal plan. This allows the health management system to provide an optimal meal plan based on the user's health goals and constraints.

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.

[0111] 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.

[0112] 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.

[0113] 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.

[0114] 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.

[0115] 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).

[0116] 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.

[0117] 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."

[0118] 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.

[0119] 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.

[0120] 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.

[0121] 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.

[0122] 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.

[0123] 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.

[0124] 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.

[0125] 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.

[0126] 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.

[0127] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.

[0128] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.

[0129] All publications, patent applications, and technical standards mentioned in this specification are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent application, or technical standard was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.
