[0028] (Example 1) The AI haircut ordering system according to an embodiment of the present invention collects information about a user's hair type and length, proposes an optimal hairstyle, and displays it as a 3D model. This system allows users to input their own hair type and length, and the AI then proposes the optimal hairstyle. The user can then check the resulting look on the 3D model. This system also supports children's haircuts. Parents input their child's hair type and length, and the AI then proposes the optimal hairstyle. For example, a user inputs their own hair type and length into the system, including hair thickness, stiffness, whether or not it is curly, and its length. Based on this information, the AI then proposes the optimal hairstyle. The user can review the proposed hairstyle and make any necessary modifications. Furthermore, the system generates a 3D model to bridge the gap between the user's image and the actual result. The user can review this 3D model and preview the final result. For example, the user can check the final result with a shorter or permed hair style on the 3D model. This system also supports children's haircuts. Parents input their child's hair type and length, and the system proposes the optimal hairstyle. This allows parents to order their children's haircuts with peace of mind. In this way, the AI haircut ordering system is an innovative idea that smooths communication with hairdressers and helps realize the ideal hairstyle. Users simply input their hair type and length, and the AI will suggest the optimal hairstyle and allow them to check the finished result on a 3D model. Furthermore, since it also supports children's haircuts, parents can order with peace of mind. This allows the AI haircut ordering system to collect information on the user's hair type and length, suggest the optimal hairstyle, and display it as a 3D model.
[0029] An AI haircut ordering system according to an embodiment includes a collection unit, a suggestion unit, a display unit, and a child support unit. The collection unit collects information about a user's hair type and hair length. The information about the user's hair type and hair length includes, but is not limited to, hair thickness, hardness, whether or not the hair is curly, and length. The collection unit collects information about hair thickness, hardness, whether or not the hair is curly, and length input by the user. The collection unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of collecting the hair type and hair length information based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the timing of collecting the hair type and hair length information can be delayed to allow the user to input the information calmly. The suggestion unit uses the information from the collection unit to suggest an optimal hairstyle using AI. The AI uses, for example, techniques such as machine learning and deep learning to suggest an optimal hairstyle for the user. The suggestion unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the hairstyle suggestion method based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the suggestion unit can suggest hairstyles with detailed descriptions. The display unit generates a 3D model based on the information from the suggestion unit and displays it to the user. The 3D model is generated based on, for example, the software used and the display resolution. The display unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the 3D model based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, a detailed 3D model is displayed so the user can carefully review it. The child support unit suggests an optimal hairstyle based on information about the child's hair type and hair length entered by the parent. The child support unit can also estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the timing of collecting information about the child's hair type and hair length based on the estimated parent's emotions. For example, if the parent is relaxed, the timing of collecting information about the child's hair type and hair length can be delayed to allow the parent to enter the information calmly. In this way, the AI haircut ordering system according to the embodiment can collect information about the user's hair type and hair length, suggest an optimal hairstyle, and display it as a 3D model.
[0030] The collection unit can collect information such as hair thickness, hardness, whether or not curls are present, and length input by the user. The collection unit collects, for example, information such as hair thickness, hardness, whether or not curls are present, and length input by the user. For example, the collection unit clarifies a specific measurement method and standard for hair thickness based on the hair thickness input by the user. Hair thickness includes, for example, thin, normal, and thick. The collection unit also clarifies a specific measurement method and standard for hair hardness based on the hair hardness input by the user. Hair hardness includes, for example, soft, normal, and hard. Furthermore, the collection unit clarifies a specific standard for whether or not curls are present based on the hair hardness input by the user. Whether or not curls are present includes, for example, straight hair, light curls, and strong curls. In this way, by collecting detailed hair information input by the user, more accurate hairstyle suggestions can be made.
[0031] The suggestion unit can use AI to suggest hairstyles based on information from the collection unit. For example, the suggestion unit uses AI to suggest hairstyles based on information from the collection unit. The AI uses technologies such as machine learning and deep learning to suggest the optimal hairstyle for the user. For example, the AI suggests the optimal hairstyle based on information about the user's hair type and hair length. The suggestion unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the method of suggesting hairstyles based on the estimated user's emotions.

[0038] The suggestion unit can adjust the level of detail of the suggestion based on the importance of hair type and hair length when making a suggestion. For example, the suggestion unit adjusts the level of detail of the suggestion based on the importance of hair type and hair length when making a suggestion. For example, if the hair type is fine, the suggestion unit suggests a hairstyle that includes a detailed care method. Also, if the hair length is short, the suggestion unit can suggest a hairstyle that requires less styling effort. Furthermore, if the hair type is hard, the suggestion unit can suggest a hairstyle that includes a styling method to make the hair look soft. This makes it possible to adjust the level of detail of the suggestion appropriately depending on the importance of hair type and hair length.
[0039] The suggestion unit can apply different suggestion algorithms depending on the user's face shape and skin color when making a suggestion. For example, the suggestion unit applies different suggestion algorithms depending on the user's face shape and skin color when making a suggestion. For example, if the user has a round face, the suggestion unit can suggest a hairstyle that makes the face look slimmer. Furthermore, if the user has a light skin color, the suggestion unit can also suggest a light-colored hairstyle. Furthermore, if the user has a long face, the suggestion unit can also suggest a hairstyle that makes the face look shorter. This makes it possible to suggest an appropriate hairstyle depending on the user's face shape and skin color.
[0040] The suggestion unit can determine the priority of suggestions based on the user's past hairstyle history when making suggestions. For example, the suggestion unit determines the priority of suggestions based on the user's past hairstyle history when making suggestions.

This makes it possible to display an appropriate 3D model according to the remaining battery level of the user's device.
[0094] The collection unit may also take into account the user's family structure when collecting information about the user's hair type and hair length. For example, if the user has children, the collection unit may also collect information about the children's hair type and hair length to suggest hairstyles suitable for the whole family. If the user lives with elderly parents, the collection unit may also collect information to suggest hairstyles suitable for elderly people. Furthermore, if the user has pets, the collection unit may also collect information about the hair type and hair length taking into account the influence of pet hair. This makes it possible to suggest hairstyles appropriate for the user's family structure.
[0095] The suggestion unit can also take the user's occupation into consideration when estimating the user's emotions and proposing a hairstyle based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is a businessperson, the suggestion unit can suggest a hairstyle suitable for a business setting. Also, if the user is engaged in a creative occupation, the suggestion unit can suggest a unique hairstyle. Furthermore, if the user is a medical professional, the suggestion unit can suggest a clean-looking hairstyle. This makes it possible to suggest an appropriate hairstyle according to the user's occupation.
[0096] The display unit can also take the user's visual preferences into consideration when generating a 3D model based on the information from the suggestion unit and displaying it to the user. For example, if the user prefers bright colors, the display unit can display a bright-colored 3D model. If the user prefers simple designs, the display unit can display a simple 3D model. If the user prefers detailed designs, the display unit can display a detailed 3D model. This makes it possible to display an appropriate 3D model according to the user's visual preferences.

This makes it possible to suggest an appropriate hairstyle according to the user's cultural background.
[0099] The display unit can also take the user's auditory preferences into consideration when generating a 3D model based on information from the suggestion unit and displaying it to the user. For example, if the user wants to view the 3D model while listening to music, the display unit can display the 3D model while playing music. The display unit can also display the 3D model without audio if the user wants to view the 3D model in a quiet environment. Furthermore, if the user requests a specific audio guide, the display unit can display the 3D model while providing the audio guide. This makes it possible to display an appropriate 3D model according to the user's auditory preferences.
[0100] The collection unit can also take the user's exercise habits into consideration when collecting information about the user's hair type and hair length. For example, if the user exercises regularly, the collection unit can collect that information and suggest a hairstyle suitable for exercise. If the user plays a specific sport, the collection unit can also collect information to suggest a hairstyle suitable for that sport. Furthermore, if the user does not exercise, the collection unit can collect information to suggest a hairstyle suitable for everyday life. This makes it possible to suggest an appropriate hairstyle based on the user's exercise habits.
[0101] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0102] Step 1: The collection unit collects information about the user's hair type and length. Specifically, it collects information such as hair thickness, hardness, whether or not it is curly, and its length. The collection unit also estimates the user's emotions and can adjust the timing of information collection if the user is relaxed. Step 2: The suggestion unit uses AI to suggest the most suitable hairstyle based on the information from the collection unit. The AI uses techniques such as machine learning and deep learning to suggest the most suitable hairstyle for the user. The suggestion unit also estimates the user's emotions and suggests hairstyles with detailed descriptions if the user is relaxed. Step 3: The display unit generates a 3D model based on the information from the suggestion unit and displays it to the user. The 3D model is generated based on the software used and the display resolution. The display unit also estimates the user's emotions and displays a detailed 3D model if the user is relaxed. Step 4: The child support unit uses the parent's input information about the child's hair type and length to suggest the optimal hairstyle. The child support unit also estimates the parent's emotions and can adjust the timing of information collection if the parent is relaxed.

[0153] 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 including an instruction, as well as inference data such as audio data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating 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, 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. Examples of AIs other than the generation AI include, but are not limited to, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), and naive Bayes. These AIs can perform various types of processing, but are not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processing of each of the above-described 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. Processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI.
[0154] 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.
[0155] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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).
[0160] 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. 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.
[0161] 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."
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
