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) The beauty diagnosis app according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that automatically compares past and present photographs of a user, identifies areas of aging, and suggests the most effective cosmetic medical treatments. This allows the user to identify areas of aging and find the most appropriate cosmetic medical treatment.
[0029] A beauty diagnosis app according to an embodiment includes a photo upload unit, an analysis unit, and a treatment suggestion unit. The photo upload unit uploads past and current photos. For example, a user uploads past and current photos to the app. The photo upload unit can accept photos in different formats. For example, photos in JPEG or PNG format can be uploaded. The analysis unit analyzes the photos uploaded by the photo upload unit. For example, a generation AI compares past and current photos to analyze changes in the face. The analysis unit can also analyze detailed changes for each facial feature. For example, it can identify wrinkles around the eyes, nasolabial folds, sagging skin, etc. The treatment suggestion unit suggests a treatment method based on the aging areas identified by the analysis unit. For example, the generation AI can suggest Botox injections for wrinkles around the eyes, hyaluronic acid injections for nasolabial folds, and lifting surgery for sagging skin. The treatment suggestion unit can select the optimal treatment method based on the user's age, skin condition, past treatment history, etc. For example, the generating AI might explain, "Considering your age and skin condition, Botox injections would be the most effective option." This allows the beauty diagnosis app of the embodiment to help users identify areas of aging and find the most suitable cosmetic treatment.
[0030] The analysis unit can analyze detailed changes for each facial feature and display the rate of change in numerical form. For example, the generation AI analyzes past and present photos and quantifies changes for each facial feature, such as the eyes, mouth, and cheeks. For example, it displays the depth of wrinkles around the eyes and the degree of sagging around the mouth numerically. When analyzing changes for each facial feature, the analysis unit also displays the rate of change for each feature in a graph. For example, it displays the rate of increase in wrinkles around the eyes and the progression of sagging in the cheeks in a line graph. The generation AI also analyzes changes for each facial feature, quantifies the rate of change, and displays it in report form. For example, the report may summarize the rate of increase in wrinkles around the eyes as 20% and the progression of sagging around the mouth as 15%. In this way, by displaying changes for each facial feature in numerical form, users can more easily understand the specific changes.
[0031] The analysis unit can input lifestyle and environmental data and analyze the impact of these factors on aging. For example, a user inputs lifestyle and environmental data into the analysis unit, and the generation AI analyzes the factors of aging based on this data. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the rate of increase in wrinkles in users who sleep shortly. The analysis unit also predicts the progression of aging based on lifestyle and environmental data. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the progression of sagging skin in users who are exposed to a lot of UV rays. The analysis unit also inputs the user's diet and exercise habits, and the generation AI analyzes the factors of aging based on this data. For example, the analysis unit analyzes changes in skin color in users who eat a nutritionally unbalanced diet. This allows users to understand the causes of aging more easily by analyzing the impact of lifestyle and environmental data on aging.
[0032] In addition to uploading photos, the photo uploading unit can also upload videos and analyze multiple frames in the video to identify detailed changes. For example, the photo uploading unit allows a user to upload a video, and the generation AI analyzes multiple frames in the video to identify detailed changes. For example, it analyzes changes in wrinkles in each frame in the video. When the photo uploading unit analyzes the video, the generation AI quantifies and displays the changes in each frame. For example, it numerically indicates the progression of skin sagging in each frame in the video. The photo uploading unit also analyzes multiple frames in the video, and the generation AI displays the changes in a graph. For example, it displays the rate of increase in wrinkles in each frame in the video in a line graph. This makes it possible to identify more detailed changes by analyzing the video.
[0033] The photo uploading unit can analyze multiple photos taken under different lighting conditions and angles to identify comprehensive areas of aging. For example, the photo uploading unit uploads multiple photos taken under different lighting conditions and angles, and the generation AI analyzes these photos to identify comprehensive areas of aging. For example, it analyzes changes in wrinkles under different lighting conditions. When the photo uploading unit analyzes multiple photos, the generation AI quantifies and displays the changes in each photo. For example, it numerically displays the progression of skin sagging in photos taken at different angles. The photo uploading unit also analyzes multiple photos taken under different lighting conditions and angles, and the generation AI displays comprehensive areas of aging in a graph. For example, it displays the rate of increase in wrinkles under different lighting conditions in a line graph. This makes it possible to identify comprehensive areas of aging by analyzing photos taken under different lighting conditions and angles.
[0034] The analysis unit can generate a 3D model of the face and analyze three-dimensional changes. For example, the analysis unit uses a generation AI to generate a 3D model of the face and analyze the three-dimensional changes. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the depth of wrinkles and the degree of sagging skin based on the 3D model of the face. The analysis unit also generates a 3D model of the face, and the generation AI quantifies and displays the three-dimensional changes. For example, the depth of wrinkles on the 3D model of the face is displayed numerically. The analysis unit also uses a generation AI to generate a 3D model of the face and display the three-dimensional changes in a graph. For example, the progression of skin sagging on the 3D model of the face is displayed in a line graph. This makes it possible to identify aging areas in more detail by generating a 3D model of the face and analyzing the three-dimensional changes.
[0035] The analysis unit can predict the rate at which aging progresses and simulate future changes. For example, the generation AI identifies areas of aging and predicts the rate at which aging progresses. For example, it predicts the rate at which wrinkles increase and the degree of skin sagging. The analysis unit also builds a system that predicts the rate at which aging progresses and simulates future changes. For example, it simulates the depth of wrinkles and the degree of skin sagging five years from now. The analysis unit also uses the generation AI to predict the rate at which aging progresses and displays future changes in a graph. For example, it shows the rate at which wrinkles increase and the degree of skin sagging ten years from now in a line graph. This makes it easier for users to predict future aging by predicting the rate at which aging progresses and simulating future changes.
[0036] The analysis unit can analyze the health condition of the skin and provide comprehensive beauty advice. For example, the generation AI of the analysis unit identifies areas of aging and analyzes the health condition of the skin. For example, it analyzes the dryness and oiliness state and provides comprehensive beauty advice. The analysis unit also builds a system in which the generation AI analyzes the health condition of the skin and provides comprehensive beauty advice. For example, it provides advice on moisturizing care for dry skin. The analysis unit also builds a system in which the generation AI analyzes areas of aging and the health condition of the skin and provides comprehensive beauty advice in the form of a report. For example, it summarizes care methods for dry skin and the condition of pores in a report. In this way, by analyzing the health condition of the skin and providing comprehensive beauty advice, users can practice more effective beauty care.
[0037] The analysis unit can compare the results of identifying aging areas with the data of other users to clarify differences from general aging patterns. For example, the analysis unit allows the generation AI to compare the results of identifying aging areas with the data of other users to clarify differences from general aging patterns. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the depth of wrinkles in comparison with users of the same age. The analysis unit also compares the results with the data of other users, and the generation AI displays a graph showing differences from general aging patterns. For example, a line graph shows the progression of sagging skin compared with users of the same age. The analysis unit also allows the generation AI to compare the results of identifying aging areas with the data of other users to provide a report showing differences from general aging patterns. For example, a report can summarize the rate of increase in wrinkles compared with users of the same age. This makes it possible to clarify differences from general aging patterns by comparing with other users' data, making it easier for users to understand their own aging characteristics.
[0038] The treatment proposal unit can refer to past treatment result data and analyze and display the success rate and risk of side effects. For example, the treatment proposal unit refers to past treatment result data for the treatment method proposed by the generation AI and analyzes and displays the success rate and risk of side effects. For example, the success rate and risk of side effects of Botox injections are displayed numerically. The treatment proposal unit also displays the success rate and risk of side effects of the treatment method proposed by the generation AI in a graph based on past treatment result data. For example, the success rate and risk of side effects of hyaluronic acid injections are displayed in a line graph. The treatment proposal unit also refers to past treatment result data and displays the success rate and risk of side effects of the treatment method proposed by the generation AI in report format. For example, the success rate and risk of side effects of lift surgery are compiled in a report. This allows users to refer to past treatment result data and analyze and display the success rate and risk of side effects, which can be useful when selecting a treatment method.
[0039] The treatment proposal unit can collect user feedback on the proposed treatment methods and improve the proposal content based on the feedback. For example, the treatment proposal unit builds a system that collects user feedback on the proposed treatment methods and improves the proposal content based on the feedback. For example, the treatment proposal unit adjusts the treatment method proposal based on user opinions. The treatment proposal unit also collects user feedback in real time, and the generation AI immediately improves the proposal content. For example, the treatment proposal unit updates the list of treatment methods based on user evaluations. The treatment proposal unit also analyzes user feedback on the proposed treatment methods, and the generation AI improves the proposal content. For example, the treatment proposal is optimized based on user satisfaction. In this way, by collecting user feedback and improving the proposal content based on it, more appropriate treatment methods can be proposed.
[0040] The treatment suggestion unit can suggest self-care methods that can be practiced in daily life in addition to the proposed treatment method. For example, the treatment suggestion unit suggests self-care methods that can be practiced in daily life in addition to the proposed treatment method. For example, it displays skin care methods and exercise routines in list format. The treatment suggestion unit also uses the generative AI to suggest self-care methods so that the user can practice them in daily life. For example, it provides daily skin care procedures and weekly exercise plans. The treatment suggestion unit also provides self-care methods in report format in addition to the proposed treatment method. For example, it compiles specific skin care procedures and detailed explanations of exercises in the report. This makes it easier for the user to perform daily beauty care by suggesting self-care methods that can be practiced in daily life.
[0041] The treatment proposal unit can compare proposed treatment methods across different price ranges and treatment periods, and provide options that fit the user's budget and schedule. For example, the treatment proposal unit compares proposed treatment methods across different price ranges and treatment periods, and provides options that fit the user's budget and schedule.

[0100] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and suggest beauty clinics that are emotionally acceptable. For example, it can analyze the user's emotional response when looking at past and present photos and suggest beauty clinics that elicit positive emotions. Clinics that the user feels comfortable with are displayed preferentially, and details of the clinic's characteristics and treatment track record are explained. It is also possible to display reviews and ratings of clinics that the user finds enjoyable. This makes it easier for the user to select a beauty clinic that satisfies them emotionally.
[0101] The treatment suggestion unit can provide educational content to improve the user's knowledge of beauty care. For example, it can introduce the latest research results and trends in beauty and provide information that the user can use to improve their own beauty care. It can also provide specific skin care methods and exercise procedures in video format. This allows the user to deepen their knowledge of beauty and perform more effective care.
[0102] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0103] Step 1: The photo uploader uploads past and current photos. For example, a user uploads past and current photos to the app. The photo uploader can also accept photos in different formats. For example, photos can be uploaded in JPEG or PNG format. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the photos uploaded by the photo upload unit. For example, the generation AI compares past and current photos and analyzes changes in the face. The analysis unit can also analyze detailed changes in each facial feature. For example, it can identify wrinkles around the eyes, nasolabial folds, sagging skin, etc. Step 3: The treatment suggestion unit proposes a treatment method based on the areas of aging identified by the analysis unit. For example, the generated AI may suggest Botox injections for wrinkles around the eyes, hyaluronic acid injections for nasolabial folds, and lift surgery for sagging skin. The treatment suggestion unit can also select the optimal treatment method by taking into account the user's age, skin condition, and past treatment history. For example, the generated AI might explain, "Taking into account your age and skin condition, Botox injections are the most effective."

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.

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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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).
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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."
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
