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

[0028] (Example 1) The sake recommendation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that digitizes local sake brands, flavors, and reviews from around the country, allowing users to select sake that suits their tastes from the AI ​​data. This allows users to easily find sake that suits their tastes, contributing to the spread and development of sake culture.

[0029] A sake recommendation system according to an embodiment includes a data conversion unit, a recommendation unit, a sharing unit, a distribution unit, a crowdfunding unit, and a tasting event information unit. The data conversion unit collects data on sake brands and flavors. For example, the data conversion unit collects information on sake brands from all over Japan and registers it in a database. The data conversion unit can also analyze the flavor characteristics of each brand and register it in the database. For example, the data conversion unit analyzes taste elements such as sweetness, sourness, and bitterness and registers them in the database. The recommendation unit recommends sake that matches the user's preferences based on the data collected by the data conversion unit. For example, the recommendation unit analyzes preference information entered by the user and recommends corresponding sake. The recommendation unit can also analyze the user's past drinking history and predict future changes in preferences before making recommendations. For example, the recommendation unit collects data on the brands and flavors of sake the user has drunk in the past and analyzes changes in preferences over time. The sharing unit shares word-of-mouth reviews and comments from sake brewers about the sake recommended by the recommendation unit. For example, the sharing section registers users' impressions and reviews of sake they have tried in a database and shares them with other users. The sharing section can also collect the opinions of sake brewers and provide them to users. For example, the sharing section collects interviews and comments from sake brewers and registers them in a database. The distribution section broadcasts an annual brand voting contest live online. For example, the distribution section holds a voting contest for sake brands from all over the country and broadcasts the event live online. The distribution section can also analyze the voting results in real time and display them in ranking form. The crowdfunding section provides information on crowdfunding campaigns for new sake breweries. For example, the crowdfunding section lists crowdfunding campaigns for new sake breweries and provides video presentations for each brewery. The crowdfunding section can also use generative AI to predict the success rate of crowdfunding projects and provide the results to users. The tasting event information section provides information on tasting events held in various locations. For example, the tasting event information section shares a list of information on sake tasting events held across the country. The tasting information department can also use generative AI to analyze past tasting participant data and recommend tasting information based on participants' preferences.As a result, the sake recommendation system according to the embodiment allows users to easily find sake that suits their tastes, thereby contributing to the spread and development of sake culture.

[0030] The recommendation unit analyzes the user's past drinking history and changes in preferences, and can predict and recommend future changes in preferences. For example, using a generation AI, the recommendation unit collects data on the brands and flavors of sake the user has drunk in the past and analyzes changes in preferences. For example, if a user previously preferred fruity sake but has recently started to prefer dry sake, the recommendation unit predicts future preferences based on this change. The recommendation unit also analyzes the user's drinking history and predicts changes in preferences based on seasons and events. For example, if a user tends to prefer refreshing sake in the summer and rich sake in the winter, the recommendation unit can make recommendations for each season based on this information. The recommendation unit also uses a generation AI to compare the user's drinking history with data from other users and predict future changes in preferences. For example, the recommendation unit recommends brands that other users with similar preferences are likely to prefer next. This allows the recommendation unit to predict future changes in the user's preferences and recommend the most suitable sake.

[0031] The data conversion unit collects sake component analysis data, and the generation AI analyzes the correlation between components and taste, enabling scientifically based recommendations. For example, the data conversion unit collects sake component analysis data, and the generation AI analyzes the correlation between components and taste. For example, it can find a correlation, such as sake with a high content of a specific component having a stronger fruity aroma, and make recommendations based on that information. The generation AI also scientifically recommends sake that suits the user's preferences based on the component analysis data. For example, if a user prefers a fruity aroma, it will recommend brands that contain a high content of components that bring out that aroma. The generation AI also uses the component analysis data to provide information that is useful for developing new sake. For example, if sake with a high content of a specific component is highly rated, a new brand can be developed by increasing that component. This makes it possible to recommend sake based on scientific evidence.

[0032] The data generation unit also collects data on alcoholic beverages other than sake, allowing the generation AI to analyze the correlation of preferences between different beverages and make recommendations. The data generation unit, for example, collects data on alcoholic beverages other than sake (wine, beer, etc.), and the generation AI analyzes the correlation of preferences between different beverages. For example, for a user who likes the fruity aroma of wine, it recommends sake with a similar aroma. The generation AI also finds correlations between different beverages based on the user's preferred alcoholic beverage data and makes recommendations. For example, for a user who likes the bitterness of beer, it recommends sake with a similar bitterness. The generation AI also integrates data on different alcoholic beverages and analyzes the user's overall preferences. For example, it understands the user's overall preferences based on data on wine, beer, and sake and recommends the most suitable sake. This allows the correlation of preferences between different alcoholic beverages to be analyzed and the most suitable sake to be recommended.

[0033] The recommendation unit digitizes sake pairing information, allowing the generation AI to recommend the optimal sake based on the user's meal details. The recommendation unit, for example, digitizes sake pairing information, allowing the generation AI to recommend the optimal sake based on the user's meal details. For example, it may recommend a fruity sake for sushi and a dry sake for yakiniku. The generation AI also analyzes the meal details entered by the user and recommends sake that matches it. For example, if the user enters "fish dishes," it will recommend sake that goes well with fish dishes. Furthermore, based on the pairing information, the generation AI suggests new combinations of food and sake. For example, if the user enters "cheese," it will recommend sake that goes well with cheese. This makes it possible to recommend the optimal sake based on the user's meal details.

[0034] The sharing unit can use the generation AI to evaluate the reliability of reviews and prioritize the display of highly reliable reviews. For example, the sharing unit uses the generation AI to analyze the content of the review and information about the poster to evaluate reliability. For example, if the poster has received many high ratings in the past, the review is judged to be highly reliable. In addition, to evaluate the reliability of the review, the generation AI analyzes the poster's past posting history and ratings. For example, reviews from users who have posted highly reliable reviews in the past are displayed preferentially. The generation AI also analyzes the content of the review and extracts highly reliable information. For example, reviews that include specific taste characteristics and detailed impressions are judged to be highly reliable. In this way, highly reliable reviews are displayed preferentially, allowing users to obtain reliable information.

[0035] The sharing section collects the voices of sake brewers not only in text format, but also in audio and video format, and the generation AI can analyze them and provide them to users. For example, the sharing section collects the voices of sake brewers in audio and video format, and the generation AI analyzes them and provides them to users. For example, a video presentation may be presented in which a sake brewer talks about the characteristics and production process of sake. The generation AI may also analyze audio and video data, extract important information, and provide it in text format. For example, a summary of key points from a video interview with a sake brewer may be displayed. The voices of sake brewers may also be collected in various formats, and the generation AI may integrate them and provide them to users. For example, text, audio, and video information may be combined to provide a comprehensive presentation of the voices of sake brewers. This allows the voices of sake brewers to be collected in various formats and provided to users.

[0036] The sharing unit supports multiple languages ​​for review data, and the generation AI can automatically translate and provide reviews in different languages. The sharing unit, for example, uses the generation AI to support multiple languages ​​for review data, and automatically translate and provide reviews in different languages. For example, Japanese reviews are translated into English or Chinese and displayed. A system is also built that collects multilingual review data and uses the generation AI to perform automatic translation. For example, English reviews are translated into Japanese and displayed. The generation AI also translates reviews in different languages ​​in real time and provides them to users. For example, reviews in foreign languages ​​are instantly translated and displayed. This makes it possible to provide multilingual review data.

[0037] The sharing section can provide the voices of sake brewers in an interactive format and add a function that allows users to ask questions directly. For example, the sharing section can provide the voices of sake brewers in an interactive format and add a function that allows users to ask questions directly. For example, questions can be sent to sake brewers in real time and answers can be obtained. The generation AI can also analyze users' questions and automatically generate appropriate questions for sake brewers. For example, if a user asks, "What are the characteristics of this sake?", the generation AI can send that question to the sake brewer. A system can also be built that provides the voices of sake brewers in an interactive format and allows users to interact directly. For example, interacting with sake brewers through live chat or video calls. This can provide an interactive format that allows users to ask sake brewers questions directly.

[0038] The distribution unit can use the generation AI to analyze the voter's past voting history and preferences and predict the voting results. For example, the distribution unit uses the generation AI to analyze the voter's past voting history and preferences and predict the voting results. For example, the distribution unit predicts this year's voting results based on data from users who have voted for a specific brand in the past. The generation AI also analyzes the voter's preferences and predicts the trend in the voting results. For example, if there are many voters who prefer dry sake, the voting results are predicted based on that trend. The generation AI also makes real-time predictions of the voting results based on the voter's past data. For example, as voting progresses, the final results are predicted based on current voting trends. This makes it possible to predict the voting results based on the voter's past voting history and preferences.

[0039] The distribution unit analyzes the results of the voting contest in real time, and the generation AI can visualize voting trends and changes in popularity. The distribution unit, for example, uses the generation AI to analyze the results of the voting contest in real time and visualize voting trends and changes in popularity. For example, it displays the increase or decrease in the number of votes in a graph. It also builds a system that analyzes the voting results in real time and the generation AI visualizes changes in popularity. For example, it shows changes in the number of votes using color or size. The generation AI also analyzes the results of the voting contest in real time and visualizes voting trends. For example, it highlights stocks with a large number of votes. This makes it possible to visualize voting trends and changes in popularity in real time.

[0040] The distribution unit can make the results of the voting contest multilingual, and the generation AI can automatically translate and provide the voting results in different languages. The distribution unit, for example, uses the generation AI to make the results of the voting contest multilingual, and automatically translate and provide the voting results in different languages. For example, Japanese voting results are translated into English or Chinese and displayed. A system is also constructed that collects multilingual voting results and the generation AI performs automatic translation. For example, English voting results are translated into Japanese and displayed. The generation AI also translates voting results in different languages ​​in real time and provides them to users. For example, voting results in a foreign language are instantly translated and displayed. This makes it possible to provide voting results in multiple languages.

[0041] The distribution unit compares the results of the voting contest with past data, and the generation AI can analyze and provide long-term trends. The distribution unit, for example, uses the generation AI to compare the results of the voting contest with past data and analyze long-term trends. For example, it analyzes fluctuations in popularity based on voting results from the past few years. It also builds a system that compares the voting results with past data and the generation AI analyzes long-term trends. For example, it predicts this year's trends based on past voting trends. The generation AI also compares the results of the voting contest with past data and visualizes long-term trends. For example, it displays past voting results in a graph to show the trends. This makes it possible to analyze and provide long-term trends.

[0042] The crowdfunding department can use the generation AI to predict the success probability of a crowdfunding project and provide it to users. For example, the crowdfunding department uses the generation AI to analyze past data on crowdfunding projects and predict the success probability. For example, it calculates the success probability of a current project based on the characteristics of projects that have been successful in the past. In addition, to predict the success probability of a crowdfunding project, the generation AI analyzes the project content and backer data. For example, it predicts the success probability based on the number of backers and the amount of support. In addition, the generation AI predicts the success probability of a crowdfunding project in real time and provides it to users. For example, it updates the success probability based on the progress of the project. In this way, it is possible to predict and provide the success probability of a crowdfunding project.

[0043] The crowdfunding department can analyze the content of a video presentation and provide a summary of the project's appeal using a generation AI. For example, the crowdfunding department can use a generation AI to analyze a crowdfunding project's video presentation and provide a summary of the key points. For example, it can concisely summarize the project's objectives and features. It can also analyze the content of the video presentation and build a system where the generation AI summarizes the project's appeal.

This makes it possible to recommend tasting event information based on the participant's preferences.

[0047] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0048] The sake recommendation system can further include a region specialization section. The region specialization section aggregates information about sake from a specific region and provides it in combination with information about the region's specialty products and tourist attractions. For example, the region specialization section provides information about Hokkaido sake along with information about Hokkaido's specialty products and tourist spots. The region specialization section can also introduce the characteristics and history of sake from each region, conveying the appeal of the region to the user. For example, it can provide a detailed introduction to the history and characteristics of Kyoto sake, conveying its appeal to the user. The region specialization section can also provide event information for each region, which the user can use as a reference when visiting that region. For example, it can provide information about local sake brewery tours and local festivals. This allows the user to enjoy the sake from a specific region together with the appeal of the region.

[0049] The recommendation unit can further use the health estimation function to recommend sake based on the user's health condition. For example, when a user inputs health checkup data, the recommendation unit can recommend healthy sake based on that data. For example, it can recommend low-alcohol sake or sake with low sugar content. The health estimation function can also monitor the user's health condition in real time and recommend sake that is considered healthy. For example, it can recommend sake that is suitable for the user to drink after exercise. The health estimation function can also recommend sake based on the user's health goals. For example, it can recommend low-calorie sake to a user who is on a diet. This allows the user to enjoy sake while being mindful of their health.

[0050] The data generation unit further collects environmental data, allowing the generation AI to recommend environmentally friendly sake. For example, it may recommend sake from breweries that use environmentally friendly production methods. The generation AI also provides information based on the environmental data to help users make environmentally friendly choices. For example, it may recommend sake with a low carbon footprint. The generation AI can also suggest ways to select environmentally friendly sake to users based on the environmental data. For example, it may recommend sake that uses recyclable packaging. The generation AI can also use the environmental data to introduce users to the environmentally friendly sake production process.

For example, it can prioritize displaying reviews with a high emotion score. This makes it possible to filter reviews based on emotions.

[0095] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0096] Step 1: The data collection department collects data on sake brands and flavors. For example, they collect information on sake brands from all over the country and register it in a database. They also analyze the flavor characteristics of each brand and register taste elements such as sweetness, sourness, and bitterness in the database. Step 2: The recommendation unit recommends sake that matches the user's preferences based on the data collected by the data conversion unit. For example, it analyzes the preference information entered by the user and recommends corresponding sake. It can also analyze the user's past drinking history and predict future changes in preferences to recommend sake. Step 3: The sharing unit shares the reviews and opinions of sake brewers about the sake recommended by the recommendation unit. For example, the user's impressions and reviews of sake they have tried are registered in a database and shared with other users. Interviews and comments from sake brewers are also collected and registered in the database. Step 4: The distribution department broadcasts the annual brand voting contest live online. For example, they hold a voting contest for sake brands from all over the country and broadcast the event live online. They can also analyze the voting results in real time and display them in ranking form. Step 5: The crowdfunding department provides crowdfunding information for new sake breweries. For example, they may post a list of crowdfunding applications for new sake breweries and provide video presentations for each brewery. They may also use generative AI to predict the success rate of crowdfunding projects and provide this information to users. Step 6: The tasting information department provides information about tasting events held in various locations. For example, it shares a list of information about sake tasting events held across the country. Generative AI can also be used to analyze past tasting event participant data and recommend tasting event information based on the participant's preferences.

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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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).

[0150] 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 "reaction" domain, where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "situation" domain, where situational awareness is dominant.

[0151] 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."

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.
