Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) A recommendation system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses a camera to predict a user's complexion, body temperature, height, and weight, and recommends optimal menu items from restaurant menus based on that data. This allows the recommendation system to provide optimal restaurant menu items based on the user's health condition.

[0029] A recommendation system according to an embodiment includes a camera, a data collection unit, a health condition analysis unit, and a recommendation unit. The camera detects a user's complexion, body temperature, height, and weight. For example, the camera scans the user's face and estimates the user's health condition from the complexion. It also measures the user's body temperature using an infrared sensor to estimate the user's height and weight. The data collection unit collects data acquired by the camera. For example, it collects image data and video data acquired by the camera and stores them for analysis. The health condition analysis unit analyzes the user's health condition based on the data collected by the data collection unit. For example, a pale complexion may indicate fatigue or stress, and a high body temperature may indicate a fever. The recommendation unit recommends restaurant menu items based on the user's health condition analyzed by the health condition analysis unit. For example, if fatigue is determined to be present, a menu item rich in vitamins and minerals may be suggested. This allows the recommendation system according to an embodiment to recommend optimal restaurant menu items based on the user's health condition.

[0030] The data collection unit can use a camera to scan the user's facial color and infer their health condition. For example, the data collection unit uses a camera to scan the user's face and analyze changes in facial expression in real time. For example, it detects subtle changes in facial expression, such as smiling or furrowing the brow, and infers their emotional state. It also uses facial expression analysis technology to infer the user's emotional state in real time. For example, it analyzes eye movements and the degree to which the corners of the mouth are turned up to identify emotions such as joy or sadness. The camera also continuously monitors changes in the user's facial expression and records changes in their emotional state in real time. For example, it can detect signs of stress or fatigue through long-term observation. This makes it possible to infer the user's health condition from their facial color.

[0031] The data collection unit can measure the user's body temperature using an infrared sensor and infer their health condition. For example, the data collection unit uses a camera to analyze the user's movements and estimate their fatigue level. For example, it detects changes in walking speed and posture to identify signs of fatigue. It also uses posture analysis technology to estimate the user's stress level. For example, it analyzes the position of the shoulders and the degree of curvature of the back to detect signs of stress. The camera also continuously monitors the user's movements and records changes in fatigue and stress levels in real time. For example, it can detect accumulation of fatigue and stress through long-term observation. This makes it possible to infer the user's health condition from their body temperature.

[0032] The data collection unit can estimate the user's height and weight and infer their health condition. For example, the data collection unit uses a camera to analyze the user's emotions in real time and adjust the timing of data collection. For example, it collects data when the user is relaxed. It also uses an emotion estimation function to select a data collection method according to the user's emotional state. For example, it pauses data collection if the user is feeling stressed. It also continuously monitors the user's emotions and adjusts the data collection method according to changes in their emotional state. For example, it collects data when the user is feeling positive. This makes it possible to infer the user's health condition from their height and weight.

[0033] The health condition analysis unit can determine the possibility of fatigue or stress if the user's complexion is pale. The health condition analysis unit, for example, combines a camera and a microphone to collect the user's voice data. For example, it analyzes the tone of voice and speaking style to estimate the user's health condition. It also uses voice analysis technology to estimate the user's emotional state from the user's tone of voice and speaking style. For example, it analyzes the pitch and speed of the voice to identify signs of stress or fatigue. It also integrates the camera and voice data to comprehensively analyze the user's health condition. For example, it combines facial expressions and tone of voice to make more accurate health condition predictions. This makes it possible to determine the possibility of fatigue or stress from the user's complexion.

[0034] The health condition analysis unit can determine that a high body temperature indicates signs of fever. For example, the health condition analysis unit uses a camera to analyze the moisture content of the user's skin and estimate the user's health condition. For example, it detects the dryness of the skin and determines whether hydration is necessary. The camera also uses blood flow analysis technology to monitor the user's blood flow. For example, it analyzes the speed and pattern of blood flow to estimate the health of the circulatory system. The camera also simultaneously analyzes the user's skin moisture content and blood flow to assess the user's overall health condition. For example, it combines changes in the skin condition and blood flow to collect more detailed health condition data. This allows the user's body temperature to determine signs of fever.

[0035] The recommendation unit can suggest menus rich in vitamins and minerals if it determines that fatigue is building up. For example, the recommendation unit uses AI to collect the user's past menu selection history and analyze preferences and allergy information. For example, it can identify a tendency to avoid certain ingredients. Furthermore, using menu selection history analysis technology, the AI ​​can make recommendations that take into account the user's preferences and allergy information. For example, it can suggest new menus based on trends in past menu choices. Furthermore, the AI ​​can integrate the user's past menu selection history with health data and make recommendations that take into account preferences and allergy information. For example, it can suggest menus that suit the user's health condition. This makes it possible to suggest menus that suit the user's level of fatigue.

[0036] The recommendation unit can suggest light, easy-to-digest menus if there are signs of a fever. For example, the recommendation unit uses AI to collect seasonal and weather data and recommend menus based on that. For example, in summer, it would suggest cold dishes and hydrating menus. In addition, to suggest meals appropriate to the season and climate, AI analyzes past data and identifies popular seasonal menus. For example, it would suggest hot soups and hot pot dishes in winter. AI also analyzes real-time weather data and recommends menus appropriate for the weather of the day. For example, it would suggest hot drinks and comfort food on rainy days. This allows it to suggest menus that suit the user's fever.

[0037] The recommendation unit can select menus that take into account calories and nutritional balance according to physique and body type. For example, the recommendation unit uses AI to collect the health conditions and preferences of the user's friends and family and recommend the best menu for group meals based on that information. For example, it can suggest a balanced menu that everyone can enjoy. We can also build a system that recommends menus that take into account the health conditions and preferences of a group. For example, it can suggest menus that take allergy information and dietary restrictions into consideration. Furthermore, the AI ​​can integrate data on the user's friends and family and recommend menus based on the health conditions and preferences of the entire group. For example, it can suggest a diverse menu that will satisfy everyone. This makes it possible to select menus that suit the user's physique and body type.

[0038] The recommendation unit can improve the accuracy of recommendations based on user feedback. For example, the recommendation unit uses AI to collect a user's past menu selection history and analyze preferences and allergy information. For example, it can identify a tendency to avoid certain ingredients. Furthermore, using menu selection history analysis technology, the AI ​​can make recommendations that take into account the user's preferences and allergy information. For example, it can suggest new menus based on trends in past menu choices. Furthermore, the AI ​​can integrate a user's past menu selection history with health data and make recommendations that take into account preferences and allergy information. For example, it can suggest menus that suit a user's health condition. This allows the accuracy of recommendations to be improved based on user feedback.

[0039] The data collection unit can use a camera to analyze the user's movements and posture to estimate fatigue and stress levels.

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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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).

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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."

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.
