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

[0028] (Example 1) A matching system according to an embodiment of the present invention analyzes a user's lifestyle and preferences and matches unwanted items with other users. The matching system promotes the sharing economy, promotes the efficient use of resources, and fosters sustainable lifestyles by allowing users to register unwanted items and use a generation AI to match users with other users based on that information. For example, the matching system allows users to offer furniture or clothing they no longer use to other users, allowing them to obtain needed items. For example, in the matching system, a user registers unwanted items on the platform. At this time, the user enters detailed information about the item (e.g., type, condition, and period of use). The matching system then uses a generation AI to analyze the user's lifestyle and preferences. The generation AI understands the user's preferences and lifestyle based on the user's past transaction history, registration information, and profile information. The matching system then uses the generation AI to match the registered unwanted items with the needs of other users. For example, if a user registers unwanted furniture, the generation AI identifies other users who need that furniture. Once a match is established, the matching system supports communication between users. For example, users can use a chat function to coordinate the method and date of item exchange. The matching system also provides functionality to ensure the security of transactions. For example, it has a transaction rating system and a photo upload function to check the condition of the item. This allows the matching system to make effective use of unwanted items and obtain the items users need. This allows the matching system to promote the sharing economy, making effective use of resources and realizing a sustainable lifestyle. For example, by offering furniture or clothing that users no longer use to other users, they can avoid having to purchase new items, leading to resource conservation.

[0029] A matching system according to an embodiment includes an analysis unit, a matching unit, and a communication unit. The analysis unit analyzes a user's lifestyle or preferences. The analysis unit analyzes the user's preferences and lifestyle based on, for example, the user's past transaction history, registration information, and profile information. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's behavioral patterns and consumption habits using a generation AI. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's past purchase history to identify preferences for specific items. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's hobbies and interests based on the user's profile information. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's self-introduction and hobby descriptions to understand the user's lifestyle. The matching unit matches unwanted items with other users based on the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the matching unit matches registered unwanted items with the needs of other users. For example, the matching unit uses a generation AI to compare unwanted items with the needs of other users and perform optimal matching. The matching unit can also improve matching accuracy by taking the user's lifestyle and preferences into account. For example, the matching unit suggests optimal items based on the user's preferences and lifestyle. The communication unit supports communication between users matched by the matching unit. The communication unit supports users in coordinating the method and date / time of item delivery through, for example, a chat function. The communication unit can also provide a transaction rating system and a photo upload function for checking the condition of the item. For example, the communication unit provides a system for users to rate transactions and ensure the security of the transaction. The communication unit also provides a function for users to upload photos to check the condition of the item. In this way, the matching system according to the embodiment can promote the sharing economy and encourage effective use of resources and sustainable lifestyles by analyzing the lifestyles and preferences of users and matching unwanted items with other users.

[0030] The analysis unit can analyze a user's preferences or lifestyle based on the user's past transaction history, registration information, or profile information. The analysis unit, for example, analyzes the user's past transaction history to identify the user's preferences and lifestyle. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the types and frequency of items the user has purchased in the past to identify the user's consumption patterns. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's basic information and interests based on the user's registration information. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the user's basic information, such as age, gender, and address, to understand the user's lifestyle. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's hobbies and occupation based on the user's profile information. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the user's self-introduction and hobby descriptions to identify the user's preferences. This enables more accurate matching by analyzing the user's preferences and lifestyle based on the user's past transaction history, registration information, and profile information.

[0031] The matching unit can match registered unwanted items with the needs of other users. For example, the matching unit uses a generation AI to compare registered unwanted items with the needs of other users and perform optimal matching. For example, the matching unit identifies other users who need the unwanted furniture registered by the user. The matching unit can also improve the accuracy of matching by taking into account the user's lifestyle and preferences. For example, the matching unit suggests optimal items based on the user's preferences and lifestyle. The matching unit can also promote effective use of unwanted items based on the user's needs. For example, when a user registers unwanted clothing, the matching unit identifies other users who need that clothing and performs matching. In this way, by matching registered unwanted items with the needs of other users, effective use of unwanted items is promoted.

[0032] The communication unit can support users in coordinating the method or date and time of item delivery between each other through the chat function. The communication unit, for example, supports users in coordinating the method and date and time of item delivery between each other through the chat function. For example, the communication unit helps users decide the location and date and time of item delivery through chat. The communication unit can also provide a platform for users to confirm transaction details and exchange necessary information. For example, the communication unit supports users in asking questions about the condition or usage of an item through chat. This helps users coordinate the method and date and time of item delivery between each other through the chat function, thereby facilitating transactions.

[0033] The communication unit may provide a transaction rating system or a photo upload function for checking the condition of an item. The communication unit, for example, provides a transaction rating system and supports users in rating transactions. For example, the communication unit provides a system that allows users to rate their satisfaction with a transaction and leave comments. The communication unit may also provide a photo upload function for checking the condition of an item. For example, the communication unit supports users in uploading photos of items and other users in checking the photos. In this way, providing a transaction rating system or a photo upload function for checking the condition of an item improves the safety of transactions.

[0034] The analysis unit can analyze the user's past transaction history in detail and extract specific patterns and trends. For example, the analysis unit can identify the types of items that the user has frequently traded in the past and suggest similar items. The analysis unit can also extract items that are traded more frequently in specific seasons from the user's transaction history and make seasonal suggestions. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's transaction history and extract preferences for specific brands and categories. This makes it possible to extract specific patterns and trends by analyzing the user's past transaction history in detail, enabling more accurate suggestions.

[0035] The analysis unit can predict lifestyle changes based on the user's registration information and profile information. The analysis unit predicts lifestyle changes based on, for example, the user's registration information and profile information. For example, the analysis unit can predict changes in life stages based on the user's age and occupation and suggest appropriate items. The analysis unit can also suggest items suitable for a new environment based on the user's address change information. The analysis unit can also predict changes in the user's family composition and suggest items suitable for the entire family. This makes it possible to suggest more appropriate items by predicting lifestyle changes based on the user's registration information and profile information.

[0036] The analysis unit can analyze the user's social media activity to more accurately understand the user's preferences or interests. The analysis unit, for example, analyzes the user's social media activity to more accurately understand the user's preferences and interests. For example, the analysis unit analyzes posts that the user has "liked" on social media and suggests related items. The analysis unit can also analyze the activities of the user's followers and friends on social media and suggest items of common interest. The analysis unit can also analyze the content of the user's social media posts and suggest items that the user may be interested in. In this way, by analyzing the user's social media activity, the user's preferences and interests can be more accurately understood, making it possible to suggest more appropriate items.

[0037] The analysis unit can analyze a region-specific lifestyle or preference based on the user's geographical location information. The analysis unit can, for example, analyze a region-specific lifestyle or preference by taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, the analysis unit can suggest appropriate items based on the climate of the region in which the user lives. The analysis unit can also suggest related items based on the culture and customs of the user's region. The analysis unit can also suggest related items based on events and festivals in the user's region. This makes it possible to make suggestions based on a region-specific lifestyle or preference by taking into account the user's geographical location information.

[0038] The analysis unit can analyze the user's purchase history and make suggestions to encourage the user to register unnecessary items. The analysis unit, for example, analyzes the user's purchase history and makes suggestions to encourage the user to register unnecessary items. For example, the analysis unit can identify infrequently used items among items purchased by the user in the past and suggest that the user register the items as unnecessary items. The analysis unit can also suggest that the user register multiple items of the same category as unnecessary items based on the user's purchase history. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's purchase history to identify items that have not been used for a specific period of time and suggest that the user register the items as unnecessary items. In this way, analyzing the user's purchase history encourages the user to register unnecessary items and promotes the sharing economy.

[0039] The analysis unit can continuously improve the analysis algorithm by reflecting user feedback. For example, the analysis unit continuously improves the analysis algorithm by reflecting user feedback. For example, the analysis unit improves the accuracy of the analysis algorithm based on feedback provided by the user. The analysis unit can also adjust the frequency of suggesting specific items by reflecting user feedback. The analysis unit can also add new analysis parameters and improve the algorithm based on user feedback. In this way, by reflecting user feedback, the accuracy of the analysis algorithm can be improved, enabling more appropriate suggestions.

[0040] The matching unit can improve the accuracy of matching based on detailed information about the registered items. The matching unit improves the accuracy of matching by taking into account, for example, detailed information about the registered items (e.g., condition, period of use, etc.). For example, if the condition of the item is good, the matching unit matches it to more users. Also, if the item has only been used for a short period of time, the matching unit can match it as a nearly new item. Also, the matching unit can match items that meet the needs of a specific user based on the detailed information about the item. In this way, the accuracy of matching is improved by taking into account the detailed information about the registered items.

[0041] The matching unit can analyze the user's past matching history and identify a matching method with a high success rate. The matching unit, for example, analyzes the user's past matching history and identifies a matching method with a high success rate. For example, the matching unit analyzes patterns of successful matching by the user in the past and prioritizes similar patterns. The matching unit can also analyze the success rate of specific item categories from the user's past matching history. The matching unit can also identify an optimal matching method based on the user's past matching history. In this way, by analyzing the user's past matching history, a matching method with a high success rate can be identified, enabling more appropriate matching.

[0042] The matching unit can apply an appropriate matching algorithm based on the user's lifestyle or preferences. The matching unit applies an optimal matching algorithm based on, for example, the user's lifestyle or preferences.

For example, the contact unit may preferentially suggest a voice message when the user is on the move. The contact unit may also preferentially suggest a chat function when the user is at home. The contact unit may also suggest a quiet means of contact (such as a text message) when the user is in a public place. In this way, the optimal means of contact is suggested by considering the user's geographical location information, improving communication efficiency.

[0050] The contact unit can analyze the user's social media activity and promote contact between users who share common interests. The contact unit can, for example, analyze the user's social media activity and promote contact between users who share common interests. For example, the contact unit can analyze the user's "likes" and follows on social media and promote contact between users who share common interests. The contact unit can also analyze the content of the user's posts on social media and promote contact between users who share common interests. The contact unit can also analyze the user's friendships on social media and promote contact between users who share common interests. In this way, by analyzing the user's social media activity, contact between users who share common interests can be promoted.

[0051] The communication unit can customize the communication function by reflecting user feedback. The communication unit, for example, customizes the communication function by reflecting user feedback. For example, the communication unit adds customization options for the communication function based on feedback provided by the user. The communication unit can also customize specific communication methods by reflecting user feedback.

In this way, the communication function is customized by reflecting user feedback, enabling more appropriate communication.

[0052] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0053] The matching system may further include a health management unit that acquires the user's health data and suggests items based on the user's health condition. For example, the health management unit may analyze data acquired from the user's fitness tracker or smartwatch and suggest items according to the user's health condition. For example, if the user is not getting enough exercise, the health management unit may suggest fitness equipment or sports goods. Also, if the user is feeling stressed, the health management unit may suggest relaxation items or stress relief goods. Furthermore, if the user has set a specific health goal, the health management unit may suggest items that match that goal. This makes it possible to suggest more appropriate items based on the user's health condition.

[0054] The matching unit can prioritize matching with nearby users based on the user's geographical location information. For example, matching with nearby users can be prioritized based on the user's current location. Also, nearby items can be preferentially displayed based on the user's geographical location information. Furthermore, optimal matching can be performed taking into account the user's geographical location information. As a result, by taking into account the user's geographical location information, matching with nearby users is prioritized, improving the convenience of transactions.

[0061] (Example 2) A matching system according to an embodiment of the present invention analyzes a user's lifestyle and preferences and matches unwanted items with other users. The matching system promotes the sharing economy, promotes the efficient use of resources, and fosters sustainable lifestyles by allowing users to register unwanted items and use a generation AI to match users with other users based on that information. For example, the matching system allows users to offer furniture or clothing they no longer use to other users, allowing them to obtain needed items. For example, in the matching system, a user registers unwanted items on the platform. At this time, the user enters detailed information about the item (e.g., type, condition, and period of use). The matching system then uses a generation AI to analyze the user's lifestyle and preferences. The generation AI understands the user's preferences and lifestyle based on the user's past transaction history, registration information, and profile information. The matching system then uses the generation AI to match the registered unwanted items with the needs of other users. For example, if a user registers unwanted furniture, the generation AI identifies other users who need that furniture. Once a match is established, the matching system supports communication between users. For example, users can use a chat function to coordinate the method and date of item exchange. The matching system also provides functionality to ensure the security of transactions. For example, it has a transaction rating system and a photo upload function to check the condition of the item. This allows the matching system to make effective use of unwanted items and obtain the items users need. This allows the matching system to promote the sharing economy, making effective use of resources and realizing a sustainable lifestyle. For example, by offering furniture or clothing that users no longer use to other users, they can avoid having to purchase new items, leading to resource conservation.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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).

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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."

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.
