[0028] (Example 1) A fashion suggestion system according to an embodiment of the present invention proposes optimal fashion items based on a customer's preferences and body type, and searches for and presents similar items from multiple shops. In the fashion suggestion system, customers input information about their preferences and body type, and AI analyzes that information to suggest fashion items that suit the customer. Furthermore, based on the suggested items, AI searches for similar items from multiple shops and presents them to the customer. The customer can then purchase from the suggested items. For example, the fashion suggestion system inputs information about a customer's favorite colors, styles, and body type. For example, the customer inputs information such as "I like casual styles," "I'm 170 cm tall, and I weigh 60 kg." This information is then input into the AI. The fashion suggestion system then uses the AI to analyze the input information and suggest fashion items that suit the customer. The AI selects optimal fashion items based on the customer's preferences and body type. For example, for a customer who likes casual styles, casual shirts and pants are suggested. Furthermore, items of appropriate sizes are selected based on the customer's height and weight. Furthermore, based on the suggested items, AI searches for similar items from multiple shops and presents them to the customer. The AI searches multiple shops for items similar to the suggested item and presents them to the customer. For example, it searches multiple shops for items similar to the suggested casual shirt and suggests them to the customer. The customer can then purchase from the suggested items. This allows the fashion suggestion system to improve the convenience of online shopping, making it easier for customers to find fashion items that suit them. This allows the fashion suggestion system to suggest the most suitable fashion items based on the customer's preferences and body type, and to search for and present similar items from multiple shops. For example, a customer enters information about their preferences and body type, and the AI analyzes that information to suggest fashion items that suit the customer. Furthermore, based on the suggested items, the AI searches for similar items from multiple shops and presents them to the customer.This will allow customers to easily find fashion items that suit them, improving the convenience of online shopping.
[0029] A fashion suggestion system according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a search unit, and a suggestion unit.

The reception unit provides an interface for the customer to input information related to their favorite colors, styles, and body types. The reception unit can also store the information input by the customer in a database. The analysis unit analyzes the information input by the reception unit and suggests fashion items suitable for the customer. The analysis unit selects optimal fashion items based on the customer's preferences and body type, for example, using AI. For example, the analysis unit suggests casual shirts and pants to a customer who likes a casual style. The analysis unit can also select items of appropriate size based on the customer's height and weight. The search unit searches for similar items from multiple shops based on the items suggested by the analysis unit. The search unit searches for items similar to the suggested items from multiple shops, for example, using AI. For example, the search unit searches multiple shops for items similar to a suggested casual shirt and suggests them to the customer. The suggestion unit presents the items suggested by the search unit to the customer. The suggestion unit, for example, uses AI to provide an interface for presenting the suggested items to the customer. For example, the suggestion unit displays a list of suggested items so that the customer can select one. The suggestion unit can also provide a link to purchase the suggested item. As a result, the fashion suggestion system according to the embodiment can suggest optimal fashion items based on the customer's preferences and body type, and search for and present similar items from multiple shops. For example, a customer inputs information about their preferences and body type, and the AI analyzes that information to suggest fashion items that suit the customer. Furthermore, based on the suggested items, the AI searches for similar items from multiple shops and presents them to the customer. This allows customers to easily find fashion items that suit them, improving the convenience of online shopping.
[0030] The suggestion unit may provide the customer with a link for purchasing the suggested item. Examples of the link include, but are not limited to, a URL link, a QR code (registered trademark), and the like.

For example, when a customer uploads an image, the reception unit extracts features of the fashion item using image recognition technology. In addition, when a customer inputs information by text, the reception unit can automatically complete related candidates based on the input content. For example, when a customer inputs information by voice, the reception unit converts the input content into text using voice recognition technology. In addition, when a customer uploads an image, the reception unit can extract features of the fashion item using image recognition technology. This improves the convenience of information input by providing the optimal input means depending on the customer's input method. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the reception unit can input the customer's voice data into a generation AI and have the generation AI convert the voice data into text data.
[0034] When inputting information, the reception unit can prioritize inputting highly relevant information taking into account the customer's geographical location information. The reception unit, for example, prioritizes displaying information about shops close to the customer's current location. For example, if the customer is in a specific area, the reception unit can prioritize suggesting fashion items popular in that area. Furthermore, if the customer is traveling, the reception unit can also input information based on the fashion trends of the customer's travel destination. For example, the reception unit prioritizes displaying information about shops close to the customer's current location. Furthermore, if the customer is in a specific area, the reception unit can prioritize suggesting fashion items popular in that area. This improves the accuracy of information input by providing highly relevant information based on the customer's geographical location information. Some or all of the above-described processing by the reception unit may be performed using, or without, AI. For example, the reception unit can input the customer's geographical location data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to prioritize input of highly relevant information.
[0035] The reception unit can analyze the customer's social media activity and input related information when inputting information. The reception unit, for example, reflects information about brands and influencers the customer follows on social media. For example, the reception unit can input related information based on fashion items the customer shared on social media. The reception unit can also analyze the content of the customer's social media posts and suggest related fashion items. For example, the reception unit reflects information about brands and influencers the customer follows on social media. The reception unit can also input related information based on fashion items the customer shared on social media. This improves the accuracy of information input by providing related information based on the customer's social media activity. Some or all of the above-described processing by the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the customer's social media data into a generation AI and have the generation AI input related information.
[0036] The reception unit can customize the input method by reflecting the customer's past feedback when inputting information.

Some or all of the above-described processing by the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the customer's past feedback data into a generation AI and have the generation AI customize the input method.
[0037] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis taking into account changes in customer preferences. For example, if a customer's preferences change frequently, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis and makes suggestions based on the latest preferences. For example, if a customer's preferences remain stable, the analysis unit performs a brief analysis and makes basic suggestions. Furthermore, if a customer's preferences change according to a particular season or event, the analysis unit can also perform the analysis taking into account such changes. For example, if a customer's preferences change frequently, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis and makes suggestions based on the latest preferences. Furthermore, if a customer's preferences remain stable, the analysis unit can also perform a brief analysis and make basic suggestions. Thus, by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis according to changes in customer preferences, more appropriate suggestions can be made. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the customer's past purchase history data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the level of detail of the analysis taking into account changes in preferences.
[0038] During analysis, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the customer's fashion category.

[0101] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0102] When entering information about a customer's preferences and body type, the reception unit can automatically refer to the customer's past purchase history and search history to present input candidates. For example, appropriate input candidates can be displayed based on the size and style of items the customer has previously purchased. Related input candidates can also be presented based on information about items the customer has previously searched for. This saves the customer the trouble of entering information, allowing them to enter information more quickly. Furthermore, the reception unit can also prioritize the display of information about items that the customer has previously given high ratings to. This makes it possible to enter information that suits the customer's preferences.
[0103] The suggestion unit can display reviews and ratings from other customers when a customer purchases a suggested item.

[0112] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0113] Step 1: The reception unit inputs information about the customer's preferences or body type. The information about the customer's preferences or body type includes, for example, size, color preference, style preference, etc. The reception unit provides an interface for the customer to input information about their favorite color, style, or body type, and can also store the input information in a database. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the information entered by the reception unit and suggests fashion items that suit the customer. The analysis unit uses AI to select the most suitable fashion items based on the customer's preferences and body type. For example, it suggests casual shirts and pants to a customer who likes casual styles, and selects items of the appropriate size based on the customer's height and weight. Step 3: The search unit searches multiple shops for similar items based on the items suggested by the analysis unit. The search unit uses AI to search multiple shops for items similar to the suggested item. For example, it searches multiple shops for items similar to the suggested casual shirt and suggests them to the customer. Step 4: The suggestion unit presents the items suggested by the search unit to the customer. The suggestion unit provides an interface for presenting the suggested items to the customer using AI, lists the suggested items so that the customer can select them, and can also provide a link to purchase the suggested items.
[0114] 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 microphone 38B acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0115] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search engine).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of generative AIs include the data generation model 58, such as a neural network model (e.g., a neural network model), and a neural network model (e.g., a neural network model). The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input to the data generation model 58. 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 specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification 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 AIs 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.
[0116] Furthermore, the processing by the data processing system 10 described above is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the smart device 14, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the smart device 14. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the smart device 14 or an external device, and the smart device 14 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.
[0117] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0166] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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).
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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."
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
