[0037] The measurement unit can select the optimal measurement timing based on the user's lifestyle rhythm during measurement. For example, the measurement unit can analyze the user's lifestyle rhythm and perform measurement during the time period when the user is most relaxed. For example, the measurement unit can select the optimal measurement timing based on the user's sleep cycle and daily activity patterns. The measurement unit can also automatically set the daily measurement timing based on the user's lifestyle rhythm. For example, the measurement unit can analyze the user's past measurement data and predict the optimal measurement timing. Furthermore, the measurement unit can flexibly adjust the measurement timing taking the user's lifestyle rhythm into consideration. For example, the measurement unit can change the measurement timing according to the user's schedule. This allows more accurate data to be obtained by selecting the optimal measurement timing based on the user's lifestyle rhythm.

[0038] The measurement unit can automatically adjust the measurement method based on the user's physical condition and environmental conditions during measurement. The measurement unit, for example, adjusts the measurement method taking into account the user's physical condition. For example, if the user is tired, the measurement time can be shortened and the burden on the user can be reduced. The measurement unit can also adjust the measurement method taking into account the user's environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.). For example, the measurement unit can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor according to the environmental conditions. Furthermore, the measurement unit can adjust the measurement frequency according to the user's physical condition. For example, if the user is feeling unwell, the measurement frequency can be reduced. This makes it possible to obtain more accurate data by automatically adjusting the measurement method according to the user's physical condition and environmental conditions.

[0039] The measurement unit can correct the measurement results based on the user's geographical location information during measurement. The measurement unit corrects the measurement results, for example, by taking the user's geographical location information into account. For example, if the user is at a high altitude, the measurement results can be corrected by taking into account the influence of atmospheric pressure. Also, if the user is in a humid area, the measurement results can be corrected by taking into account the influence of humidity. Furthermore, if the user is moving, the measurement results can be corrected based on location information. For example, the measurement unit can obtain the user's location information using GPS data and correct the measurement results.

The provision unit is realized by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and provides the user with personalized comments and advice based on the analysis results.

[0095] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0096] The analysis unit can combine and analyze the user's past health data and current data to predict the user's health condition. For example, the analysis unit can compare the user's past body fat percentage data with current data to predict future changes in body fat percentage. The analysis unit can also compare the user's past skin temperature data with current data to predict future changes in skin temperature. Furthermore, the analysis unit can comprehensively analyze the past data and current data to predict future changes in the user's health condition. This allows the user to predict their future health condition and take preventative measures.

[0097] The providing unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the content of advice based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, advice to relax can be provided. Also, if the user is relaxed, specific advice to maintain health can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, concise advice that can be implemented in a short time can be provided. In this way, by adjusting the content of advice according to the user's emotions, more effective health management can be supported.

[0098] The measurement unit can adjust the timing of measurement based on the user's lifestyle. For example, if the user is a morning person, the measurement can be performed in the morning. Alternatively, if the user is a night owl, the measurement can be performed in the evening. Furthermore, the measurement frequency can be adjusted according to the user's lifestyle. For example, the measurement frequency can be reduced when the user is busy and increased when the user has more free time. This allows measurements to be performed in accordance with the user's lifestyle, thereby obtaining more accurate data.

[0099] The analysis unit can use a machine learning model to predict the user's health condition. For example, the analysis unit can train a machine learning model based on the user's past health data to predict the user's future health condition. The analysis unit can also use the machine learning model to predict fluctuations in the user's health condition. For example, the analysis unit can predict fluctuations in body fat percentage or skin temperature to evaluate the user's future health condition. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use the machine learning model to predict abnormalities in the user's health condition. This allows the user to predict their future health condition and take preventive measures.

[0100] The providing unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of advice based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, advice on stress reduction can be given priority. Also, if the user is relaxed, advice on maintaining health can be given priority. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, advice that can be implemented quickly can be given priority. In this way, by determining the priority of advice according to the user's emotions, more effective health management can be supported.

[0101] The measurement unit can correct the measurement results based on the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is at a high altitude, the measurement results can be corrected taking into account the influence of atmospheric pressure. Also, if the user is in a humid area, the measurement results can be corrected taking into account the influence of humidity. Furthermore, if the user is moving, the measurement results can be corrected based on the location information. In this way, by correcting the measurement results taking into account the user's geographical location information, more accurate data can be obtained.

[0102] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the analysis algorithm based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it can prioritize analysis related to stress reduction. If the user is relaxed, it can perform a detailed analysis to evaluate the user's health condition. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can quickly perform an analysis and provide the results. In this way, by adjusting the analysis algorithm according to the user's emotions, it is possible to provide more appropriate analysis results.

[0103] The providing unit can improve the accuracy of advice based on the user's past advice history. For example, the providing unit can analyze the effects of advice the user received in the past and reflect that in current advice. The providing unit can also refer to the user's past advice history to provide effective advice. Furthermore, the providing unit can analyze the user's past advice history and apply an algorithm to improve the accuracy of advice. In this way, the accuracy of advice can be improved by referring to the user's past advice history.

[0104] The providing unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way comments and advice are expressed based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the providing unit can provide advice in gentle words. If the user is relaxed, the providing unit can provide detailed advice. If the user is in a hurry, the providing unit can provide concise advice that gets to the point. In this way, by adjusting the way comments and advice are expressed based on the user's emotions, more appropriate advice can be provided.

[0105] The analysis unit can analyze a user's social media activity to obtain health information. For example, the analysis unit can analyze exercise records and diet records shared by the user on social media to obtain health information. The analysis unit can also evaluate the user's health status based on the user's social media activity. Furthermore, the analysis unit can track changes in the user's health status based on the social media activity. In this way, by analyzing the user's social media activity, related health information can be obtained and reflected in the analysis results.

[0106] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0107] Step 1: The measurement unit is equipped with a bioimpedance sensor that measures the user's body fat percentage and an infrared sensor that measures skin temperature. Measurements are performed automatically when the user simply stands in front of the mirror. The bioimpedance sensor measures body fat percentage by passing an electric current through it, and the infrared sensor measures the surface temperature of the skin. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data measured by the measurement unit. Using the generative AI, it analyzes fluctuations in body fat percentage and skin temperature to evaluate the user's health condition. For example, it detects increases in body fat percentage and abnormalities in skin temperature. Step 3: The provider provides comments and advice to the user based on the analysis results obtained by the analyzer. Using a generation AI, the provider generates personalized comments and advice based on the user's health condition. For example, if the body fat percentage is increasing, the provider will provide advice encouraging exercise and dietary improvements, and if the skin temperature is high, the provider will provide comments recommending rest and hydration.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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).

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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."

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.
