[0028] (Example 1) A health support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that proposes optimal ingredients and recipes to resolve physical or skin problems experienced by a user. As a result, the health support system can provide ingredients and recipes appropriate for the user's condition and support the improvement of the user's health.
[0029] A health support system according to an embodiment includes a symptom selection unit, a nutrient analysis unit, an ingredient selection unit, and a recipe suggestion unit. The symptom selection unit selects a physical symptom the user wants to improve. For example, the user can select the symptom most closely matching their own condition from options such as "easily tired," "dry skin," and "constipated" via an app or website. The nutrient analysis unit analyzes the nutrients needed based on the symptom selected by the symptom selection unit. For example, for the symptom "easily tired," the analysis determines that B vitamins and iron are needed. The nutrient analysis unit uses a generative AI to identify the necessary nutrients based on prompts containing information about the symptom selected by the user. The ingredient selection unit selects ingredients to supplement the nutrients analyzed by the nutrient analysis unit. For example, if B vitamins are needed, pork and eggs are selected, and if iron is needed, spinach and liver are selected. The ingredient selection unit references a nutritional value database of ingredients to select the most appropriate ingredients. The recipe suggestion unit suggests recipes using the ingredients selected by the ingredient selection unit. For example, a stir-fry using spinach and pork, or an omelet using eggs and liver, may be suggested. The recipe suggestion unit references a database of cooking methods to generate easy and delicious recipes. This allows the health support system according to the embodiment to suggest ingredients and recipes that are optimal for the user's physical condition. For example, the user can refer to the suggested recipes and incorporate them into their daily meals. This allows the user to easily practice a diet that will improve their condition.
[0030] The ailment selection unit can support more accurate ailment selection by referring to the user's past selection history and health data. For example, the ailment selection unit stores the history of ailments previously selected by the user in a database and displays it as a reference the next time the user selects an ailment. For example, if a user previously selected "easily tired," the same ailment will be displayed again. The ailment selection unit also refers to the user's health data (e.g., heart rate and sleep data from a wearable device) and suggests ailment options based on the user's current health condition. For example, if recent sleep data is poor, "easily tired" will be displayed preferentially. The ailment selection unit also combines the user's past selection history and health data to automatically suggest the most relevant ailment. For example, if a user previously selected "slightly constipated," the ailment selection unit will suggest "slightly constipated" again. This allows for more accurate ailment selection by referring to the user's past selection history and health data.
[0031] The ailment selection unit can analyze the user's lifestyle habits and dietary history and automatically suggest the most relevant ailment. The ailment selection unit, for example, analyzes the user's dietary history and detects imbalances in nutritional balance. For example, if there is a lack of iron, it suggests "easily tired." The ailment selection unit also analyzes the user's lifestyle ailment data (for example, amount of exercise and sleep time) and suggests related ailments. For example, if there is a lack of exercise, it suggests "feels heavy." The ailment selection unit also combines the dietary history and lifestyle ailment data to automatically suggest the most relevant ailment. For example, if there is an unbalanced diet and a lack of exercise, it suggests "easily tired." In this way, by analyzing the user's lifestyle habits and dietary history, it is possible to automatically suggest the most relevant ailment.
[0032] The nutrient analysis unit can analyze the user's genetic information and identify necessary nutrients based on individual genetic factors. The nutrient analysis unit, for example, analyzes the user's genetic information and identifies nutrients that are genetically likely to be deficient. For example, for a user who is genetically prone to vitamin D deficiency, it suggests foods that are high in vitamin D. The nutrient analysis unit also analyzes the absorption efficiency of specific nutrients based on the genetic information. For example, for a user who is genetically prone to poor iron absorption, it suggests foods that are high in iron. The nutrient analysis unit also combines the user's genetic information with health data to identify optimal nutrients. For example, for a user who is genetically prone to B vitamin deficiency and who gets tired easily, it suggests foods that are high in B vitamins. In this way, by analyzing the user's genetic information, it is possible to identify necessary nutrients based on individual genetic factors.
[0033] The nutrient analysis unit can analyze the user's intestinal flora data and identify nutrients that are optimal for the intestinal environment. The nutrient analysis unit, for example, analyzes the user's intestinal flora data and identifies nutrients that are optimal for the intestinal environment. For example, for a user whose intestinal flora is unbalanced, it suggests foods that are rich in probiotics. The nutrient analysis unit also analyzes the need for specific nutrients based on the intestinal flora data. For example, for a user whose intestinal flora does not easily produce vitamin K, it suggests foods that are rich in vitamin K. The nutrient analysis unit also combines the user's intestinal flora with health data to identify optimal nutrients. For example, for a user whose intestinal flora is unbalanced and prone to constipation, it suggests foods that are rich in dietary fiber. In this way, by analyzing the user's intestinal flora data, it is possible to identify nutrients that are optimal for the intestinal environment.
[0034] The ingredient selection unit can analyze the user's allergy information and select the optimal ingredients that avoid allergies. For example, the ingredient selection unit registers the user's allergy information in a database and selects the optimal ingredients that avoid allergies. For example, for a user with a nut allergy, it suggests ingredients that do not contain nuts. The ingredient selection unit also builds a system that suggests alternative ingredients based on the allergy information. For example, it suggests soy milk or almond milk for a user with a dairy allergy. The ingredient selection unit also combines the user's allergy information with health data to select the optimal ingredients. For example, it suggests gluten-free ingredients for a user with a gluten allergy. In this way, by analyzing the user's allergy information, it is possible to select the optimal ingredients that avoid allergies.
[0035] The ingredient selection unit can analyze a user's taste preferences and select the optimal ingredients that match their preferences. For example, the ingredient selection unit registers the user's taste preferences in a database and selects the optimal ingredients that match their preferences. For example, for a user who likes spicy food, it suggests ingredients that contain chili peppers. The ingredient selection unit also builds a system that suggests recipes for dishes that the user likes based on the taste preferences. For example, for a user who likes sweet things, it suggests dessert recipes. The ingredient selection unit also combines the user's taste preferences with health data to select the optimal ingredients. For example, for a user who likes sour foods and is deficient in vitamin C, it suggests lemon. In this way, by analyzing the user's taste preferences, the optimal ingredients that match their preferences can be selected.
[0036] The recipe suggestion unit can analyze a user's cooking skills and suggest the optimal recipe based on the skills. For example, the recipe suggestion unit registers the user's cooking skills in a database and suggests the optimal recipe based on the skills. For example, it suggests a simple stir-fry recipe to a beginner. The recipe suggestion unit also builds a system that suggests recipes that users can make without difficulty based on their cooking skills. For example, it suggests recipes with fewer steps to a user with little cooking experience. The recipe suggestion unit also combines the user's cooking skills with health data to suggest the optimal recipe. For example, it suggests an easy-to-make recipe using lemon to a beginner who is deficient in vitamin C. This makes it possible to suggest the optimal recipe based on the user's cooking skills.
[0037] The recipe suggestion unit can analyze the user's mealtimes and suggest optimal recipes according to the time periods. For example, the recipe suggestion unit registers the user's mealtimes in a database and suggests optimal recipes according to the time periods. For example, it suggests recipes that can replenish energy for breakfast. The recipe suggestion unit also builds a system that suggests recipes that contain the nutrients the user needs during mealtimes, based on the mealtimes. For example, it suggests easy-to-digest recipes for dinner. The recipe suggestion unit also combines the user's mealtimes with health data to suggest optimal recipes. For example, it suggests light, easy-to-digest recipes for a user who eats late at night. This makes it possible to suggest optimal recipes according to the user's mealtimes.
[0038] The recipe suggestion unit can analyze the user's dietary goals and suggest the optimal recipe according to the goal. For example, the recipe suggestion unit registers the user's dietary goals in a database and suggests the optimal recipe according to the goal. For example, low-calorie recipes are suggested for a user who is dieting. The recipe suggestion unit also builds a system that suggests recipes containing the nutrients a user needs to achieve their dietary goals, based on the user's dietary goals. For example, high-protein recipes are suggested for a user who is trying to build muscle. The recipe suggestion unit also combines the user's dietary goals with health data to suggest the optimal recipe. For example, for a user who is dieting and has a vitamin C deficiency, low-calorie recipes that are high in vitamin C are suggested. This makes it possible to suggest the optimal recipe according to the user's dietary goals.
[0039] The recipe suggestion unit can analyze the user's meal frequency and suggest optimal recipes based on the frequency. For example, the recipe suggestion unit registers the user's meal frequency in a database and suggests optimal recipes based on the frequency. For example, it suggests balanced recipes to a user who eats three meals a day. The recipe suggestion unit also builds a system that suggests recipes that allow the user to consume nutrients based on the meal frequency. For example, it suggests nutritious recipes to a user who eats two meals a day. The recipe suggestion unit also combines the user's meal frequency with health data to suggest optimal recipes. For example, it suggests recipes that take nutritional balance into consideration to a user who eats one meal a day. This makes it possible to suggest optimal recipes based on the user's meal frequency.
[0040] The ailment selection unit can refer to the selection trends of other users and match users who share a common ailment with each other. The ailment selection unit, for example, analyzes ailment data selected by other users and matches users who share a common ailment with each other. For example, users who selected "get tired easily" are grouped together. The ailment selection unit also provides a function that allows matched users to exchange information with each other. For example, users with the same ailment can exchange advice with each other through a chat function. The ailment selection unit also suggests the optimal ailment selection based on data of users who share a common ailment. For example, if many users have selected "get tired easily," it will also suggest "get tired easily" to a new user. This allows users with a common ailment to be matched with each other, enabling information exchange and advice.
[0041] The ailment selection unit can propose an optimal ailment selection by taking into consideration the geographical environment of the user and seasonal variations. The ailment selection unit proposes an optimal ailment selection by taking into consideration, for example, the geographical environment of the user (e.g., urban or rural area). For example, it proposes "accumulating stress" for a user living in an urban area. The ailment selection unit also considers seasonal variations and proposes an ailment selection according to the season. For example, it proposes "dry skin" in winter. The ailment selection unit also combines the geographical environment and seasonal variations to propose an optimal ailment selection. For example, for a user living in an urban area and it is winter, it proposes "accumulating stress" and "dry skin." This makes it possible to select an ailment by taking into consideration the geographical environment of the user and seasonal variations.
[0042] The nutrient analysis unit can analyze the user's activity data and identify the nutrients required according to the amount of daily activity. The nutrient analysis unit, for example, analyzes the user's activity data and identifies the nutrients required according to the amount of daily activity. For example, for a user who exercises a lot, it suggests foods that are high in protein. The nutrient analysis unit also analyzes the need for specific nutrients based on the activity data. For example, for a user who exercises a lot and gets tired easily, it suggests foods that are high in B vitamins. The nutrient analysis unit also combines the user's activity data and health data to identify optimal nutrients. For example, for a user who exercises a lot and has muscle pain, it suggests foods that are high in protein and vitamin C. This makes it possible to identify the nutrients required according to the user's daily activity.
[0043] The nutrient analysis unit can analyze the user's sleep data and identify necessary nutrients based on the quality of sleep.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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).
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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."
[0154] 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.

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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
