[0028] (Example 1) A system according to an embodiment of the present invention generates accessory designs and 3D CAD data tailored to users for assistive devices designed to overcome disabilities. In this system, a user inputs design requirements. A large-scale language model (LLM) interprets the requirements and generates an optimal accessory design for the user based on information such as patient data and treatment duration. The system then generates 3D CAD data based on the generated design and provides it to the user. This allows the assistive device to be enjoyed and worn. For example, a user inputs a design requirement, such as "I want a cover to be attached to the handle of a wheelchair." This requirement is input into the LLM. The LLM then interprets the input requirement. The LLM understands the user's requirements and generates an optimal accessory design based on information such as patient data and treatment duration. For example, a handle cover design tailored to the patient's hand size and grip strength is generated. 3D CAD data is generated based on the generated design. The LLM then generates CAD data suitable for 3D printing based on the generated design. For example, CAD data detailing the shape and dimensions of the handle cover is generated. Finally, the generated 3D CAD data is provided to the user. The user can then use this data to manufacture the accessory using a 3D printer. This allows users to easily create accessories that suit their needs. This allows the system to make wearing assistive devices more enjoyable. Users can create accessories with designs that suit their preferences, making assistive devices more unique and attractive. For example, colorful wheelchair handle covers can make using a wheelchair more enjoyable. Functionality can also be improved through designs based on patient data and treatment duration.

For example, if the user has previously designed a wheelchair handle cover, the reception unit can suggest a similar design request based on that design history. Also, if the user has previously preferred a particular color or material, the reception unit can suggest a design request that is suitable for the user based on that information. Furthermore, the reception unit can analyze the user's past design history, estimate the user's preferred design style, and suggest a design request based on that style. This allows the user to input design requests more efficiently by utilizing their past design history.
[0095] When receiving the user's design request, the first generation unit can adjust the color and shape of the design based on the user's current mood and emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the first generation unit can generate a design with soft colors and curved shapes. If the user is excited, the first generation unit can generate a design with vivid colors and bold shapes. Furthermore, if the user is stressed, the first generation unit can generate a design with muted colors and simple shapes. This makes it possible to provide a design that matches the user's emotions, thereby improving user satisfaction.
[0096] When generating a design, the first generation unit can adjust the functionality of the design based on the user's living environment and usage situation. For example, if the user frequently uses the product outdoors, the first generation unit can generate a design that uses highly durable materials and waterproof functionality. If the user uses the product indoors, the first generation unit can also generate a design that emphasizes comfort. Furthermore, if the user uses the product while performing a specific activity, the first generation unit can also generate a design that is suitable for that activity. This makes it possible to provide an optimal design that suits the user's living environment and usage situation.
[0097] When providing the generated 3D CAD data to the user, the providing unit can adjust the providing method based on the user's emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the providing unit can provide 3D CAD data including detailed descriptions. If the user is in a hurry, the providing unit can provide 3D CAD data including concise descriptions. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the providing unit can provide visually appealing 3D CAD data. This makes it possible to select the optimal providing method according to the user's emotions.
[0098] When providing the generated 3D CAD data to a user, the providing unit can select the optimal providing method by referring to the user's past data usage history. For example, if the user previously received 3D CAD data by email, the providing unit can preferentially suggest providing the data by email. Also, if the user previously received 3D CAD data via cloud storage, the providing unit can preferentially suggest providing the data via cloud storage. Furthermore, the providing unit can provide the data at a specific time period based on the user's past data usage history. This makes it possible to select the optimal providing method by referring to the user's past data usage history.
[0099] The first generation unit can adjust the use of technical terminology in the design according to the user's level of expertise when generating the design. For example, if the user has technical expertise, the first generation unit can generate a design that uses a lot of technical terminology. Alternatively, if the user does not have technical expertise, the first generation unit can generate a design that is explained in simple terms. Furthermore, the first generation unit can dynamically adjust the use of technical terminology in the design based on the user's level of expertise. This makes it possible to provide an optimal design according to the user's level of expertise.
[0100] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of receiving design requests based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the reception of design requests can be scheduled during a time when the user is able to relax. Also, if the user is excited, the reception of design requests can be scheduled immediately, allowing ideas to be collected while they are fresh. Furthermore, if the user is tired, the reception of design requests can be scheduled after the user has rested. In this way, the reception timing of design requests can be adjusted according to the user's emotions.
[0101] When generating a design, the first generation unit can improve the accuracy of the design by referring to the user's past design results. For example, a new design can be generated by referring to designs created by the user in the past. Also, a preferred style can be extracted from the user's past design results and reflected in the new design. Furthermore, the first generation unit can analyze the user's past design results and generate a new design by reflecting improvements. In this way, the accuracy of the design can be improved by referring to the user's past design results.
[0102] The providing unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of providing 3D CAD data based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, 3D CAD data with high urgency can be provided with priority. If the user is relaxed, 3D CAD data can be provided with normal priority. Furthermore, if the user is excited, 3D CAD data with high creativity can be provided with priority. In this way, the priority of providing 3D CAD data can be determined according to the user's emotions.
[0103] When generating a design, the first generation unit can apply different design algorithms depending on the category of the accessory. For example, in the case of a wheelchair accessory, the first generation unit can apply a design algorithm that emphasizes durability. In addition, in the case of a white cane accessory, the first generation unit can apply a design algorithm that emphasizes lightness. Furthermore, in the case of a cast accessory, the first generation unit can apply a design algorithm that emphasizes comfort. This makes it possible to provide an optimal design depending on the accessory category.
[0104] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0105] Step 1: The user inputs their design requests into the reception unit. For example, a user can input a request such as, "I want to create a cover to attach to the handle of a wheelchair." The reception unit can accept requests in various formats, including text, image, and audio. Step 2: The first generation unit uses LLM to interpret the request received by the reception unit and generate an accessory design based on patient data and treatment period information. For example, LLM generates a steering wheel cover design tailored to the patient's hand size and grip strength. LLM uses natural language processing technology to understand the user's request and generate the optimal design. Step 3: The second generation unit generates 3D CAD data based on the design generated by the first generation unit. For example, the LLM generates CAD data that can be manufactured using a 3D printer based on the generated design. The LLM generates CAD data that describes in detail the shape and dimensions of the design. Step 4: The providing unit provides the 3D CAD data generated by the second generating unit to the user. For example, the user can manufacture an accessory using a 3D printer based on this data. The providing unit can provide the generated 3D CAD data online or on a physical medium.
[0106] 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.
[0107] 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.
[0108] 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.

[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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).
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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."
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.

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.
