For example, the analysis unit can also adjust the way the analysis results are expressed according to the user's level of expertise. This makes it possible to provide analysis results that are easier to understand by adjusting the use of technical terminology in the analysis according to the user's level of expertise. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit can be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's level of expertise into the generation AI and have the generation AI execute the use of technical terminology.

[0047] When providing advice, the advice providing unit can adjust the level of detail of the advice based on the importance of the health condition.

[0092] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0093] The collection unit collects the user's sleep data, and the analysis unit analyzes the data to evaluate the quality of sleep. For example, the collection unit monitors the user's heart rate and breathing patterns while sleeping and records the depth of sleep and the frequency of interruptions. The collection unit can also detect the number of times the user turns over in their sleep and fluctuations in body temperature. Based on this data, the analysis unit can evaluate the user's sleep quality and identify areas for improvement. This allows the user to understand their own sleep patterns and receive advice on how to get better sleep.

[0094] The analysis unit can analyze the user's dietary data and evaluate the nutritional balance. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the types and amounts of ingredients consumed by the user and evaluate the intake of vitamins and minerals. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's eating patterns and identify excess intake or nutrient deficiencies. Furthermore, the analysis unit can propose a healthy meal plan based on the user's dietary data. This allows the user to review their eating habits and receive advice on achieving a balanced diet.

For example, the advice providing unit can analyze the user's exercise frequency and intensity and propose an appropriate amount of exercise. The advice providing unit can also create an effective training menu based on the user's exercise history. Furthermore, the advice providing unit can also suggest the type and timing of exercise depending on the user's goals. This allows the user to receive specific advice to improve their exercise habits and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

[0096] The collection unit can monitor the user's stress level in real time, and the analysis unit can analyze the data to provide stress management advice. For example, the collection unit can monitor the user's heart rate and electrodermal activity to detect signs of stress. The collection unit can also detect the user's breathing patterns and muscle tension. Based on this data, the analysis unit can evaluate the user's stress level and suggest relaxation methods and activities to reduce stress. This allows the user to receive advice on how to effectively manage their stress and maintain their physical and mental health.

[0097] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and suggest appropriate relaxation methods based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the analysis unit can suggest deep breathing or meditation. If the user is tired, the analysis unit can also suggest light stretching or a short break. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, the analysis unit can also suggest music or aromatherapy to help maintain relaxation. This allows the user to practice relaxation methods that suit their emotional state and receive advice on maintaining mental and physical balance.

[0098] The collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the frequency of data collection based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the collection unit can reduce the frequency of data collection to reduce the burden on the user. Also, if the user is relaxed, the collection unit can increase the frequency of data collection to collect more detailed data. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the collection unit can quickly collect only the minimum amount of data necessary. In this way, by adjusting the frequency of data collection according to the user's emotional state, more accurate and useful health data can be collected.

[0099] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the notification method of the analysis results based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the analysis unit can provide a simple, highly visible notification. If the user is relaxed, the analysis unit can also provide detailed analysis results. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the analysis unit can also provide a concise notification that focuses on the main points. This makes it possible to provide more appropriate information by adjusting the notification method of the analysis results according to the user's emotional state.

[0100] The collection unit collects the user's activity data, and the analysis unit analyzes the data to evaluate the user's activity level. For example, the collection unit monitors the user's number of steps and distance traveled and records the user's daily activity level. The collection unit can also detect the user's exercise intensity and calories burned. Based on this data, the analysis unit can evaluate the user's activity level and set appropriate exercise goals. This allows the user to understand their own activity level and receive specific advice for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

[0101] The analysis unit can analyze the user's health data and provide health advice according to the season and weather. For example, the analysis unit can recommend taking vitamin D in the winter. The analysis unit can also emphasize the importance of staying hydrated in the summer. Furthermore, the analysis unit can suggest allergy countermeasures during the pollen season. This allows the user to manage their health according to the season and weather and receive advice for more effective health maintenance.

[0102] The advice providing unit can propose an individual mental health care plan based on the user's health data. For example, the advice providing unit can analyze the user's stress level and sleep data and propose appropriate mental health care methods. The advice providing unit can also suggest relaxation techniques or the need for counseling based on the user's emotional data. Furthermore, the advice providing unit can also provide a specific action plan for mental health care based on the user's lifestyle habit data. This allows the user to receive advice on effectively managing their own mental health and maintaining a balance between their mind and body.

[0103] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0104] Step 1: The collection unit collects the user's health data. The health data includes, for example, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and urine components. The collection unit measures and collects this data using a scale, blood pressure monitor, heart rate sensor, urine test device, etc. Step 2: The analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the data collected by the collection unit and evaluate the user's health condition. The analysis is performed using statistical analysis of the data and machine learning algorithms. For example, it can detect insufficient fluid intake from urine components, evaluate stress levels from heart rate fluctuations, and evaluate health condition from blood pressure fluctuations. Step 3: The advice provider uses the generation AI to provide customized health advice based on the evaluation results obtained by the analysis component. The advice is based on specific advice and delivery methods based on the user's health condition. For example, the advice provider may recommend increasing water intake, suggest breathing techniques to relax, or suggest improvements to the user's diet.

The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.

[0148] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.

[0149] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

[0150] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0151] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.

[0152] In the robot 414, the processor 46 performs the identification process. The storage 50 stores the identification program 60. The processor 46 reads the identification program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read identification program 60 on the RAM 48. The identification process is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the identification 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 the same process as the identification processing unit 290 using these models.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the above example, and various modifications are possible.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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).

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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."

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.
