[0028] (Example 1) A health support system according to an embodiment of the present invention provides dietary health support and household chore support through meal plan suggestions. In this health support system, users submit photos of their daily meals, which AI analyzes to identify the meals and ingredients. If the analysis results are inaccurate, the user can correct them as needed. Next, the AI ​​analyzes the nutritional information based on the analyzed meal and ingredient information and suggests up to three future meal plans. Furthermore, the system displays support advertisements related to the proposed meal plans, such as delivery services and co-op home delivery. Furthermore, by pre-entering information about hospital visits, medical history, and health checkup results, the AI ​​can analyze disease trends and issue alarms as needed. For example, a user submits photos of their daily meals. To do this, the user takes photos of their meals and uploads them to the system. For example, the user takes photos of breakfast, lunch, and dinner and reports them to the system. This information is then input into the AI. The AI ​​then analyzes the input photos and identifies the meals and ingredients. The AI ​​uses image analysis technology to identify the meals and ingredients contained in the photos. For example, it identifies ingredients such as vegetables, meat, and fish in the photos and analyzes the nutrients of each. If the analysis results are inaccurate, the user can correct them as needed. Based on the analysis results, the AI ​​analyzes nutrients. Based on the identified meal and ingredient information, the AI ​​analyzes each nutrient. For example, it analyzes nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, protein, lipids, and carbohydrates to evaluate the user's nutritional balance. Next, the AI ​​suggests up to three future meal plans. Based on the nutrient analysis results, the AI ​​proposes optimal meals for the user. For example, it proposes breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus that take nutritional balance into consideration. It also displays support advertisements related to the proposed menus, such as delivery services and co-op delivery. In addition, by allowing users to enter their hospital history, medical history, and health checkup results in advance, the AI ​​analyzes disease trends. Based on the input information, the AI ​​evaluates the user's health condition and issues alarms as necessary. For example, it can detect abnormalities in blood pressure or blood sugar levels and issue alarms to alert the user. This supports the user's health through daily meals and reduces the burden of housework through meal suggestions. In this way, the health support system supports the user's health and reduces the burden of housework.

[0062] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0063] Step 1: The analysis unit analyzes the photo of the meal. The photo of the meal taken by the user is input into the AI, which uses image analysis technology to identify the meal and its ingredients. For example, it identifies ingredients such as vegetables, meat, and fish in the photo and analyzes the nutritional value of each. If there are any errors in the analysis results, the user can make corrections as necessary, and the corrected information can be analyzed again. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes nutrients based on the information on the meals and ingredients analyzed by the analysis unit. Based on the information on the identified meals and ingredients, the analysis unit analyzes nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, and evaluates the user's nutritional balance. Step 3: The proposal unit proposes future menus based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. Based on the nutrient analysis results, the unit proposes the optimal menu for the user, and proposes up to three menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that take nutritional balance into consideration. Step 4: The advertising unit displays advertisements related to the menu proposed by the suggestion unit. Support advertisements such as delivery and co-op delivery related to the proposed menu are displayed, and advertisements related to the user are displayed. Step 5: The trend analysis unit analyzes disease trends based on the hospital visit history, medical history, and health checkup data.

[0064] (Example 2) A health support system according to an embodiment of the present invention provides dietary health support and household chore support through meal plan suggestions. In this health support system, users submit photos of their daily meals, which AI analyzes to identify the meals and ingredients. If the analysis results are inaccurate, the user can correct them as needed. Next, the AI ​​analyzes the nutritional information based on the analyzed meal and ingredient information and suggests up to three future meal plans. Furthermore, the system displays support advertisements related to the proposed meal plans, such as delivery services and co-op home delivery. Furthermore, by pre-entering information about hospital visits, medical history, and health checkup results, the AI ​​can analyze disease trends and issue alarms as needed. For example, a user submits photos of their daily meals. To do this, the user takes photos of their meals and uploads them to the system. For example, the user takes photos of breakfast, lunch, and dinner and reports them to the system. This information is then input into the AI. The AI ​​then analyzes the input photos and identifies the meals and ingredients. The AI ​​uses image analysis technology to identify the meals and ingredients contained in the photos. For example, it identifies ingredients such as vegetables, meat, and fish in the photos and analyzes the nutrients of each. If the analysis results are inaccurate, the user can correct them as needed. Based on the analysis results, the AI ​​analyzes nutrients. Based on the identified meal and ingredient information, the AI ​​analyzes each nutrient. For example, it analyzes nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, protein, lipids, and carbohydrates to evaluate the user's nutritional balance. Next, the AI ​​suggests up to three future meal plans. Based on the nutrient analysis results, the AI ​​proposes optimal meals for the user. For example, it proposes breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus that take nutritional balance into consideration. It also displays support advertisements related to the proposed menus, such as delivery services and co-op delivery. In addition, by allowing users to enter their hospital history, medical history, and health checkup results in advance, the AI ​​analyzes disease trends. Based on the input information, the AI ​​evaluates the user's health condition and issues alarms as necessary. For example, it can detect abnormalities in blood pressure or blood sugar levels and issue alarms to alert the user. This supports the user's health through daily meals and reduces the burden of housework through meal suggestions. In this way, the health support system supports the user's health and reduces the burden of housework.

[0102] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0103] When analyzing a user's meal photos, the analysis unit can evaluate the nutritional value not only based on the nutritional value of the ingredients but also based on the place of production and production method of the ingredients. For example, the analysis unit can evaluate differences in nutritional value based on information about the place of production of the ingredients. The analysis unit can also evaluate nutritional value based on the production method of the ingredients (organic cultivation, pesticide-free cultivation, etc.). Furthermore, the analysis unit can evaluate changes in nutritional value taking into account the distribution route of the ingredients. This allows for more accurate nutrient analysis by evaluating nutritional value based on the place of production and production method of the ingredients.

[0104] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the accuracy of food photo analysis based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the analysis accuracy can be increased and the automatic correction function can be strengthened, reducing the user's effort. Alternatively, if the user is relaxed, the analysis accuracy can be kept normal and an option can be provided for the user to manually correct the results. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the analysis accuracy can be increased to provide quick results and reduce the user's confirmation time. This allows the system to provide more appropriate analysis results by adjusting the analysis accuracy according to the user's emotions.

[0105] When analyzing food photos, the analysis unit can apply correction algorithms to accommodate different lighting conditions and shooting angles. For example, if the lighting is low, the brightness of the image can be automatically adjusted to improve analysis accuracy. Also, if the photo is taken at an oblique angle, image distortion can be corrected to ensure accurate analysis. Furthermore, if the lighting is too strong, the contrast of the image can be adjusted to make it easier to identify ingredients. This improves analysis accuracy by adapting to different lighting conditions and shooting angles.

[0106] When analyzing photos of meals, the analysis unit can obtain additional information to determine the freshness of ingredients and cooking methods. For example, freshness can be estimated from the color and texture of ingredients and reflected in the analysis results. It can also identify cooking methods (grilling, boiling, frying, etc.) and consider changes in nutrients based on that information. It can also identify cooking details from the way ingredients are cut and presented and reflect these in the analysis results. This improves the accuracy of the analysis results by identifying the freshness of ingredients and cooking methods.

[0107] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the analysis results based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, a simple, highly visible display method can be provided. If the user is relaxed, a display method including detailed information can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, a display method that focuses on the main points can be provided. In this way, by adjusting the display method of the analysis results according to the user's emotions, it is possible to provide a display that is easy for the user to see.

[0108] When analyzing food photos, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to the user's past meal history. For example, it can make it easier to identify similar ingredients based on data on meals the user has eaten in the past. It can also prioritize frequently used ingredients for analysis based on the user's past meal history. It can also analyze the user's past meal patterns to improve the accuracy of the analysis results. By referring to the past meal history, the analysis accuracy can be improved.

[0109] When analyzing food photos, the analysis unit can take into account the user's geographical food culture. For example, it can prioritize identifying ingredients and dishes unique to the user's region. It can also customize the analysis results based on the user's geographical food culture. Furthermore, it can reflect ingredients and dishes related to the user's regional food culture in the analysis results. This makes the analysis results more accurate by taking geographical food culture into account.

[0110] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the nutrient analysis results based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it can highlight nutrient deficiencies and suggest remedial measures. If the user is relaxed, it can provide detailed nutrient analysis results. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can provide nutrient analysis results that focus on the main points. In this way, by adjusting the nutrient analysis results according to the user's emotions, it is possible to provide more appropriate analysis results.

[0111] When analyzing nutrients, the analysis unit can evaluate nutritional value based on the origin and production method of ingredients. For example, differences in nutritional value can be evaluated based on information about the origin of ingredients. Nutritional value can also be evaluated based on the production method of ingredients (organic cultivation, pesticide-free, etc.). Furthermore, changes in nutritional value can be evaluated taking into account the distribution route of ingredients. This allows for more accurate nutrient analysis by evaluating nutritional value based on the origin and production method of ingredients.

[0112] When analyzing nutrients, the analysis unit can provide analysis results that take into account the user's allergy information. For example, ingredients containing allergens can be identified and excluded from the analysis results based on the user's allergy information. Alternative ingredients can also be suggested based on the user's allergy information. Furthermore, nutrients from ingredients containing allergens can be excluded from the analysis results based on the user's allergy information. This allows analysis results that do not include allergens to be provided by taking the user's allergy information into account.

[0113] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0114] Step 1: The analysis unit analyzes the photo of the meal. The photo of the meal taken by the user is input into the AI, which uses image analysis technology to identify the meal and its ingredients. For example, it identifies ingredients such as vegetables, meat, and fish in the photo and analyzes the nutritional value of each. If there are any errors in the analysis results, the user can make corrections as necessary, and the corrected information can be analyzed again. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes nutrients based on the information on the meals and ingredients analyzed by the analysis unit. Based on the information on the identified meals and ingredients, the analysis unit analyzes nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates, and evaluates the user's nutritional balance. Step 3: The proposal unit proposes future menus based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. Based on the nutrient analysis results, the unit proposes the optimal menu for the user, and proposes up to three menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that take nutritional balance into consideration. Step 4: The advertising unit displays advertisements related to the menu proposed by the suggestion unit. Support advertisements such as delivery and co-op delivery related to the proposed menu are displayed, and advertisements related to the user are displayed. Step 5: The trend analysis unit analyzes disease trends based on the hospital visit history, medical history, and health checkup data. Based on the hospital visit history, medical history, and health checkup data entered by the user, the trend of disease is analyzed and the user's health condition is evaluated. Step 6: The alarm unit issues an alarm based on the analysis results obtained by the trend analysis unit. It can detect abnormalities in blood pressure or blood sugar levels and issue an alarm to alert the user, and issues an alarm depending on the user's health condition.

[0115] 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.

[0116] 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 the generative AI include a neural network (NN) and a neural network (NN). 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 (e.g., still image data or video data). 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 one or more data formats of voice data, text data, image data, etc. 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 may perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. When the processing of each of the above-mentioned parts is performed by an AI, the processing may be performed in part or entirely by the AI, but is not limited to these examples. The processing performed by an AI including the generative AI may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by an AI including the generative AI.

[0117] 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. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the smart device 14 or an external device, and the smart device 14 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0127] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0128] 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.

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 one or more data formats, such as audio data, text data, and image 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 models 58 include AIs other than the generation AI.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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).

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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."

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.
