[0091] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0092] The outfit suggestion system may further include a voice assistant unit. The voice assistant unit enables the user to receive outfit suggestions and provide feedback via voice. For example, when the user makes a voice request such as "Tell me what outfit I'm going to wear today," the voice assistant unit will suggest an appropriate outfit. When the user asks, "What do you think of this outfit?", the voice assistant unit can collect feedback and reflect it in the next suggestion. Furthermore, when the user asks about an item they own, the voice assistant unit can provide detailed information about the item and outfit advice. This allows the user to easily receive outfit suggestions and provide feedback via voice.

[0093] The outfit suggestion system may further include a virtual try-on unit. The virtual try-on unit allows the user to virtually try on clothes they own or suggested items. For example, the user can take a full-body photo of themselves using a smartphone camera and overlay the suggested outfit on the photo. The virtual try-on unit may also help the user find the best outfit by trying on different items. Furthermore, the virtual try-on unit may also provide a function that allows the user to save images of outfits tried on by the user and review them later. This allows the user to virtually try on outfits without actually trying them on.

[0094] The outfit suggestion system can further include a weather forecast linkage unit. The weather forecast linkage unit acquires weather forecast information for the user's area and suggests optimal outfits based on that information. For example, it suggests waterproof jackets and boots for rainy days, and clothes made of breathable materials for hot days. The weather forecast linkage unit can also suggest outfits suitable for each time period, taking into account the weather forecast for the time period when the user will be out. Furthermore, the weather forecast linkage unit can also provide advice to the user on which items to purchase depending on the weather. This allows the user to easily find the optimal outfit to match the weather.

[0095] The outfit suggestion system can also use an emotion estimation function to analyze the user's emotions toward the outfit selected and provide advice to elicit positive emotions. For example, if the user smiles or shows satisfaction with the selected outfit, the system can recommend that outfit. Alternatively, if the user shows dissatisfaction or anxiety about the selected outfit, the system can suggest an alternative outfit. Furthermore, the emotion estimation function can be used to analyze the user's emotions toward specific items and suggest items based on those emotions. This allows the user to find an outfit that matches their emotions.

[0096] The outfit suggestion system can further acquire lifestyle information about the user and suggest optimal outfits based on that information. The lifestyle information acquisition unit collects information such as the user's exercise habits, diet, and sleep patterns. For example, it can suggest sportswear that is easy to move in to a user who exercises frequently, and comfortable business casual to a user who does a lot of office work. The lifestyle information acquisition unit can also suggest items that match the user's lifestyle. For example, it can suggest clothes made from organic materials to a health-conscious user. This makes it possible to suggest optimal outfits that suit the user's lifestyle.

[0097] The outfit suggestion system can further use its emotion estimation function to analyze the emotions a user has toward a specific event and suggest the optimal outfit based on those emotions. For example, if a user is nervous about an important presentation, the system can suggest an outfit that will help them feel confident. It can also suggest an outfit that will help the user relax on a day off when they want to relax. Furthermore, the emotion estimation function can be used to analyze the emotions a user has toward a specific event in real time and adjust the outfit based on those emotions. This allows the user to find the optimal outfit for a specific event.

[0098] The outfit suggestion system can further acquire the user's health data and suggest optimal outfits based on that data. The health data acquisition unit collects data such as the user's heart rate, blood pressure, and stress level. For example, it can suggest clothes made of relaxing materials to a user with a high stress level, and suggest comfortable, breathable clothes to a user with a high heart rate. The health data acquisition unit can also suggest items tailored to the user's health condition. For example, it can suggest items with high heat retention to a user who is prone to feeling cold. This makes it possible to suggest optimal outfits that suit the user's health condition.

[0099] The outfit suggestion system can further use an emotion estimation function to analyze the emotions a user has toward a specific item and suggest items based on those emotions. For example, if a user has positive emotions toward a specific item, the system can suggest outfits that include that item. On the other hand, if a user has negative emotions toward a specific item, the system can suggest outfits that avoid that item. Furthermore, the emotion estimation function can be used to analyze the emotions a user has toward a specific item in real time and adjust the item suggestions based on those emotions. This allows users to find items that match their emotions.

[0100] The coordination suggestion system can further acquire the user's hobbies and interests and suggest optimal coordination based on them. The hobby information acquisition unit, for example, collects information about the user's hobbies and interests. For example, it suggests coordination suitable for outdoor activities to a user whose hobby is outdoors, and suggests coordination suitable for a music event to a user whose hobby is music. The hobby information acquisition unit can also suggest items that match the user's hobbies and interests. For example, it suggests items that are suitable for an art event to a user whose hobby is art. This makes it possible to suggest optimal coordination that matches the user's hobbies and interests.

[0101] The outfit suggestion system can further use an emotion estimation function to analyze the user's emotions toward a specific season and suggest optimal outfits based on those emotions. For example, if the user has positive emotions toward winter, that emotion can be taken into consideration when suggesting winter outfits. Also, if the user has negative emotions toward summer, that emotion can be taken into consideration when suggesting summer outfits. Furthermore, the emotion estimation function can be used to analyze the user's emotions toward a specific season in real time and adjust the outfit based on that emotion. This allows the user to find the optimal outfit for a specific season.

[0102] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0103] Step 1: The attribute information acquisition unit acquires attribute information of the user. For example, information such as age, gender, occupation, and hobbies can be input. Step 2: The photography unit takes photos of the user's clothes and accessories. For example, photos can be taken using a smartphone camera and uploaded to the system. Step 3: The outfit suggestion module proposes outfits for the week, taking into account the time, place, and occasion based on the user's attributes and photos. For example, it suggests outfits that fit the user's schedule, such as office casual on Monday, remote work on Tuesday, and lunch with friends on Wednesday. Step 4: The calendar linking unit links with the calendar to suggest outfits based on future plans. For example, it links with Google (registered trademark) Calendar or Outlook Calendar to suggest outfits based on future plans. Step 5: The feedback collection unit collects the user's wearing record and favorite rating as feedback, and reflects this in future coordination suggestions. For example, since this coordination was highly favored, a similar style will be suggested next time. Step 6: The item suggestion department suggests new items based on the weather, preferences, and trends, other than the clothes and accessories you already own. For example, since it's been raining a lot this week, they might suggest a waterproof jacket. Step 7: The listing support unit generates a description and a market price from the photo data of an item that is not often used, and supports listing on the flea market app. For example, since this jacket is not often worn, a description and a market price are generated for listing.

[0104] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing.

The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 also has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0149] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.

[0150] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[0151] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than the generative AI. The AI ​​other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. 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. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.

[0152] 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. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[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, in order to avoid confusion and to 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.
