[0028] (Example 1) The mental health improvement system according to an embodiment of the present invention uses generative AI to assess a user's mental state, and based on the assessment results, suggests behaviors and diets, proposes specific action plans, and provides feedback on the results, providing a cycle of feedback. This allows the mental health improvement system to continuously improve the user's mental health.

[0029] A mental health improvement system according to an embodiment includes a mental state assessment unit, an action suggestion unit, an action plan generation unit, and a feedback analysis unit. The mental state assessment unit assesses a user's mental state using a generation AI. For example, the generation AI analyzes the user's mental state based on information provided by the user. The generation AI receives, for example, the user's self-report, diary, and sensor data (such as heart rate and sleep patterns) as input and assesses the user's mental state. The action suggestion unit suggests actions and meals based on the mental state assessed by the mental state assessment unit. For example, if the generation AI determines that the user is highly stressed, it suggests yoga or meditation to relax. Furthermore, if the generation AI determines that the user's nutritional balance is unbalanced, it suggests a balanced diet. The action plan generation unit generates a specific action plan based on the actions and meals suggested by the action suggestion unit. For example, the generation AI suggests specific action plans, such as incorporating yoga time into a daily schedule or adding healthy ingredients to a weekly shopping list. The feedback analysis unit provides feedback on the results of the action plan. For example, the generation AI reports the actions and meals the user has performed and analyzes the results. This allows the mental health improvement system to continuously improve the user's mental health.

[0030] The mental state assessment unit learns the user's past mental state data and can predict long-term mental health trends. In the mental state assessment unit, for example, the generation AI collects the user's past mental state data and analyzes long-term trends. For example, it predicts seasonal fluctuations in mental health based on data from the past year. The mental state assessment unit also learns the user's diary and self-reported data, and the generation AI predicts long-term mental health trends. For example, it analyzes the impact of specific events or situations on mental health. The mental state assessment unit also predicts long-term mental health trends based on data from sensors (heart rate, sleep patterns, etc.). For example, continued lack of sleep tends to increase stress. This makes it possible to predict long-term mental health trends.

[0031] The mental state assessment unit can analyze the user's exercise data and determine the correlation with the mental state. For example, the generation AI in the mental state assessment unit analyzes the user's step count data and determines the correlation with the mental state. For example, days with a low number of steps may indicate high stress.

This allows feedback from family and friends to be collected and the mental state to be assessed comprehensively.

[0033] The action suggestion unit can learn the user's past action history and suggest the most effective action or meal. In the action suggestion unit, for example, the generation AI analyzes the user's past action history and suggests the most effective action. For example, it re-suggests actions that have had a high relaxation effect in the past. The action suggestion unit also learns the user's diet history and the generation AI suggests the most effective meal. For example, it re-suggests meal menus that have had good nutritional balance in the past. The action suggestion unit also integrates the action history and diet history, and the generation AI suggests the most effective action or meal overall. For example, it shows that a combination of a specific action and meal is effective. In this way, the user's past action history can be learned and the most effective action or meal can be suggested.

[0034] The action suggestion unit can update action or meal suggestions in real time according to the user's current mental state. In the action suggestion unit, for example, the generation AI analyzes the user's current mental state and updates action suggestions in real time. For example, if stress is high, the generation AI suggests actions to relax. In addition, the action suggestion unit updates meal suggestions in real time according to the user's mental state. For example, if the user is feeling depressed, the generation AI suggests nutritious meals. In addition, the action suggestion unit dynamically adjusts action and meal suggestions according to fluctuations in the mental state. For example, if stress decreases, the generation AI suggests new actions or meals. This allows action and meal suggestions to be updated in real time according to the user's current mental state.

[0035] The action suggestion unit can suggest nearby relaxation spots or healthy restaurants based on the user's geographical location information. In the action suggestion unit, for example, the generation AI analyzes the user's geographical location information and suggests nearby relaxation spots. For example, it may suggest parks or nature walking courses. In addition, the action suggestion unit can suggest healthy restaurants based on the user's location information. For example, it may suggest restaurants that use organic ingredients.

[0037] The action plan generation unit can analyze the user's lifestyle rhythm and propose an action plan at the optimal timing. For example, the generation AI of the action plan generation unit analyzes the user's lifestyle rhythm and proposes the optimal time for yoga. For example, incorporating yoga into morning relaxation time. The action plan generation unit also proposes meal preparation at the optimal time based on the user's schedule. For example, suggesting a healthy snack before dinner. The action plan generation unit also integrates the user's lifestyle rhythm and mental state, and the generation AI proposes a comprehensive action plan. For example, suggesting activities to relax during times of high stress. This allows the user's lifestyle rhythm to be analyzed and an action plan to be proposed at the optimal time.

[0038] The action plan generation unit can dynamically adjust the action plan based on user feedback. In the action plan generation unit, for example, the generation AI analyzes the user's feedback and dynamically adjusts the action plan. For example, if yoga is not effective, the generation AI will suggest another relaxation method. In addition, the action plan generation unit adjusts the meal plan based on the user's feedback. For example, if the suggested meal does not suit the user's taste, the generation AI will suggest a different menu. In addition, the action plan generation unit integrates the feedback data, and the generation AI comprehensively adjusts the action plan. For example, the generation AI will re-suggest optimal actions and meals based on multiple pieces of feedback. This allows the action plan to be dynamically adjusted based on the user's feedback.

[0039] The action plan generation unit can propose a realistic action plan by taking into account the user's work or school schedule. In the action plan generation unit, for example, the generation AI analyzes the user's work schedule and proposes a realistic action plan. For example, it suggests ways to relax for a short time between work. In addition, the action plan generation unit proposes a realistic action plan by taking into account the user's school schedule. For example, it suggests activities to refresh yourself between classes. In addition, the action plan generation unit integrates the work or school schedule with the user's mental state, and the generation AI proposes a comprehensively realistic action plan. For example, it suggests actions that are easy to carry out during busy periods. In this way, it is possible to propose a realistic action plan by taking into account the user's work or school schedule.

[0040] The action plan generation unit can propose an action plan that combines short-term and long-term goals depending on the user's mental state. For example, the action plan generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the user's mental state and propose an action plan that combines short-term and long-term goals. For example, it proposes activities for relaxation in the short term and healthy lifestyle habits in the long term. The action plan generation unit also proposes an action plan that combines short-term and long-term goals based on the user's emotional state. For example, it aims to relieve stress in the short term and maintain mental health in the long term. The action plan generation unit also integrates data on short-term and long-term goals, and the generation AI proposes a comprehensive action plan. For example, it proposes a plan to achieve long-term goals by accumulating short-term results. This makes it possible to propose an action plan that combines short-term and long-term goals depending on the user's mental state.

[0041] The feedback analysis unit can analyze user feedback and improve the algorithm to reflect it in the next proposal. For example, the feedback analysis unit allows the generation AI to analyze user feedback and improve the algorithm to reflect it in the next proposal. For example, the accuracy of the proposal is improved based on the feedback data. The feedback analysis unit also allows the generation AI to dynamically adjust the proposal algorithm based on user feedback. For example, it makes suggestions that match the user's preferences. The feedback analysis unit also integrates the feedback data, and the generation AI comprehensively improves the algorithm. For example, it makes the optimal proposal based on multiple pieces of feedback. This allows the generation AI to analyze user feedback and improve the algorithm to reflect it in the next proposal.

[0042] The feedback analysis unit can quantitatively evaluate the degree of improvement in mental health based on user feedback. In the feedback analysis unit, for example, the generation AI analyzes the user's feedback and quantitatively evaluates the degree of improvement in mental health. For example, it calculates the degree of improvement based on the feedback score. In addition, the feedback analysis unit has the generation AI evaluate the degree of improvement in mental health based on the user's feedback data.

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.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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).

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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."

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.
