In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) A cocktail generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention takes a customer's preferences as input and generates an optimal cocktail from a vast database. The cocktail generation system analyzes the customer's preferences using a generation AI to generate an optimal cocktail recipe. The generated cocktail recipe is output in video format, the cocktail's appearance is output in image format, and the cocktail's name is output in text format. Furthermore, by collecting feedback and fine-tuning the generation AI model, it is possible to provide personalized suggestions that reflect the bartender's characteristics and the customer's preferences. For example, a cocktail generation system inputs a customer's preferences, such as "I want a fruity and sweet cocktail." This information is input into the generation AI. The generation AI then analyzes the input information and generates an optimal cocktail recipe from a vast database. The generation AI generates an optimal cocktail recipe based on past cocktail recipes and customer feedback. For example, it generates a recipe for a fruity and sweet cocktail. The generated cocktail recipe is output in video format. For example, a step-by-step video showing how to make the cocktail is generated. The cocktail's appearance is output in image format. For example, an image of the finished cocktail is generated. The cocktail's name is output in text format. For example, a name such as "Fruity Sweet Cocktail" is generated. Finally, feedback from bartenders and customers is collected to fine-tune the generative AI model. This allows the cocktail generation system to make personalized suggestions that reflect the bartender's characteristics and the customer's preferences. This allows the cocktail generation system to generate the optimal cocktail based on the customer's wishes and improve its performance by incorporating feedback. For example, bartenders can easily create original cocktails and provide cocktails that satisfy customers.

This allows for adjusting the level of detail of the recipe according to the importance of the cocktail, thereby providing a more appropriate recipe. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the generation unit adjusts the level of detail of the recipe based on the importance of the cocktail, and transmits the information to the output unit.

[0044] When generating a recipe, the generation unit can apply different generation algorithms depending on the cocktail category. Cocktail categories include, but are not limited to, for example, the type of alcohol, flavor characteristics, and serving occasion. For example, in the case of a fruity cocktail, the generation unit applies a generation algorithm that emphasizes the fruit combination. In addition, in the case of a classic cocktail, the generation unit can also apply a generation algorithm based on a traditional recipe. Furthermore, in the case of a non-alcoholic cocktail, the generation unit can also apply a generation algorithm that emphasizes ingredients that do not contain alcohol. In this way, by applying a generation algorithm depending on the cocktail category, a more appropriate recipe can be provided. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed, for example, using AI or without AI. For example, the generation unit applies a generation algorithm based on the cocktail category and transmits the information to the output unit.

[0045] When generating a recipe, the generation unit can improve the accuracy of the generation by referring to the customer's past recipe generation results. Past recipe generation results include, but are not limited to, the number of generated recipes, evaluation results, and feedback. For example, the generation unit generates a new recipe by referring to cocktail recipes that the customer has previously liked. The generation unit can also improve the accuracy of the generation based on feedback provided by the customer in the past. Furthermore, the generation unit can analyze the customer's past recipe generation results and generate an optimal recipe. In this way, the accuracy of the generation can be improved by referring to the past recipe generation results. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit may be performed, for example, using AI or without AI. For example, the generation unit improves the accuracy of the generation based on the past recipe generation results and sends the information to the output unit.

[0046] When generating a recipe, the generation unit can determine the generation priority based on the time of submission of the cocktail. Examples of the submission time include, but are not limited to, the season, the timing of an event, and the customer's schedule. For example, if a customer is in a hurry, the generation unit can prioritize generating a cocktail that can be generated quickly. Furthermore, if a customer needs a cocktail for a specific event, the generation unit can prioritize generating a cocktail that suits the event. Furthermore, if a customer needs a cocktail during a specific time period, the generation unit can prioritize generating a cocktail that suits the time period. Thus, by determining the generation priority based on the submission time, cocktails can be served at a more appropriate time. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the generation unit determines the generation priority based on the submission time and transmits the information to the output unit.

[0047] When generating a recipe, the generation unit can adjust the order of cocktail creation based on the relevance of the cocktails.

For example, the feedback collection unit collects feedback from the bartender and customers using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the headset-type terminal 314. For example, the fine-tuning unit fine-tunes the generation AI model based on the feedback collected using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. === Hard Collateral 1-4 === Each of the multiple elements including the above-mentioned reception unit, generation unit, output unit, feedback collection unit, and fine-tuning unit is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the reception unit can input a customer's request using the microphone 238 of the robot 414. For example, the generation unit executes a generative AI using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 to generate an optimal cocktail recipe. For example, the output unit outputs the generated cocktail recipe in video format using the speaker 240 of the robot 414. For example, the feedback collection unit collects feedback from the bartender and customers using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414. For example, the fine-tuning unit fine-tunes the generative AI model based on the feedback collected using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12.

[0117] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0118] The reception unit can analyze the user's past cocktail order history and suggest cocktails based on the user's preferences. For example, it can suggest similar cocktails based on the taste and alcohol content of cocktails the user has ordered in the past. Also, if the user has a preference for a particular ingredient, it can preferentially suggest cocktails that use that ingredient. Furthermore, it can suggest cocktails that are suitable for a season or event based on cocktails the user has ordered for a particular season or event. This makes it possible to make more personalized cocktail suggestions by utilizing the user's past order history.

[0119] When generating a cocktail recipe, the generation unit can adjust the recipe taking into account the user's health condition. For example, if the user has an allergy, the generation unit can generate a cocktail using ingredients that do not contain the allergen. Also, if the user has a specific health goal (e.g., calorie restriction or carbohydrate restriction), the generation unit can generate a cocktail that suits that goal. Furthermore, if the user wants to consume a specific nutrient, the generation unit can generate a cocktail using ingredients that contain that nutrient. This makes it possible to provide cocktail recipes that are suited to the user's health condition.

[0120] The output unit can output the generated cocktail recipe in multiple languages. For example, the recipe can be output in English, Japanese, Spanish, or other languages ​​according to the user's language setting. The output unit can also appropriately translate the names of the cocktails and ingredients based on the language selected by the user. Furthermore, if the user is learning a different language, the output unit can support language learning by providing the recipe in that language. This allows the cocktail recipe to be provided according to the user's language setting.

[0121] The feedback collection unit can collect user feedback in real time and immediately reflect it in the generative AI model. For example, if a user provides feedback immediately after tasting a cocktail, that feedback is immediately reflected in the generative AI. The feedback collection unit can also use a simple questionnaire format or voice input when the user provides feedback. Furthermore, when the user provides feedback, the feedback collection unit can estimate the user's emotions using an emotion estimation function and adjust the content of the feedback based on those emotions. This makes it possible to collect and reflect feedback in real time.

[0122] The fine tuning unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the fine tuning parameters based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, fine tuning can be performed based on detailed feedback. If the user is stressed, fine tuning can be performed based on simple feedback. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, fine tuning can be performed based on quick feedback. This makes it possible to fine tune according to the user's emotions.

[0123] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity and suggest related cocktails. For example, it can suggest cocktails related to places where the user has checked in on social media. It can also analyze the content of the user's social media posts and suggest cocktails based on that content. It can also suggest related cocktails based on the activity of the user's friends on social media. This makes it possible to make personalized cocktail suggestions that utilize social media activity.

[0124] When generating a cocktail recipe, the generation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the ingredients and steps of the recipe based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the generation unit can generate a cocktail recipe using ingredients that have a relaxing effect. Also, if the user is stressed, the generation unit can generate a cocktail recipe using ingredients that have a stress-relieving effect. Furthermore, if the user is energetic, the generation unit can generate a cocktail recipe using ingredients that replenish energy. In this way, it is possible to provide cocktail recipes that correspond to the user's emotions.

[0125] The output unit can output the generated cocktail recipe in a visually appealing format. For example, it can generate a video showing how to make the cocktail in an animated format. It can also display the finished cocktail as a 3D model. Furthermore, it can provide visually appealing information by displaying the name of the cocktail and the names of its ingredients in colorful fonts. This makes it possible to provide a visually appealing cocktail recipe.

[0126] The feedback collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the feedback collection method based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, detailed feedback can be requested. If the user is stressed, simple feedback can be requested. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, feedback can be collected quickly. This makes it possible to collect feedback according to the user's emotions.

[0127] The fine-tuning unit can integrate information from different data sources to enrich the fine-tuning data. For example, it can integrate customer feedback data and past learning data to perform fine-tuning. The fine-tuning unit can also integrate customer social media activity data to perform fine-tuning. Furthermore, the fine-tuning unit can also integrate customer geographic location information to perform fine-tuning. In this way, by integrating information from different data sources, it can provide richer fine-tuning data.

[0128] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0129] Step 1: The reception unit inputs the customer's preferences. The customer's preferences may include, for example, taste preferences, alcohol strength, whether or not a particular ingredient is included, etc. The reception unit can accept the customer's preferences by text input, voice input, image input, or other methods. Step 2: The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the information entered by the reception unit and generate the optimal cocktail recipe from a huge database. The generation AI generates the optimal cocktail recipe based on past cocktail recipes and customer feedback. The generation unit generates the cocktail recipe using a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Step 3: The output unit outputs the cocktail recipe generated by the generation unit in a video format. The video format includes the video length, resolution, format used, etc. The output unit generates a video that shows how to make the cocktail step by step. Step 4: The output unit outputs the appearance of the generated cocktail in an image format. The image format includes the image resolution, file format, display method, etc. The output unit generates an image of the finished cocktail. Step 5: The output unit outputs the generated cocktail name in text format. The text format includes the number of characters, font, display method, etc. The output unit generates a name such as "Fruity Sweet Cocktail." Step 6: The feedback collection department collects feedback from bartenders and customers. Feedback can be in the form of a survey, free-form comments, or evaluation criteria. The feedback collection department collects feedback such as "I would like it to be a little more sour" from a bartender. Step 7: The fine-tuning unit fine-tunes the generative AI model based on the feedback collected by the feedback collection unit. Fine-tuning includes how to adjust the model parameters and the type of data to use. The fine-tuning unit adjusts the generative AI model based on the collected feedback and reflects it in the next proposal.

[0130] 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the above example, and various modifications are possible.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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).

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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."

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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.
