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

[0028] (Example of form 1) The nutrition suggestion system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a generating AI to determine the nutrients that a person is deficient in from a video taken with a smartphone or the like, and suggests foods and recipes that should be eaten to improve them. This nutrition suggestion system operates when a user inputs a video of their meals and lifestyle habits, taken with a smartphone or the like, into the generating AI. The generating AI analyzes the video and determines the user's nutritional status. For example, it analyzes the content of meals, frequency of eating, exercise level, etc., to identify deficient nutrients. Then, the generating AI suggests foods and recipes that should be eaten to supplement the deficient nutrients. As a result, the user can receive specific advice to improve their nutritional status. For example, if a user is deficient in a particular nutrient, they can improve their nutritional status by being suggested foods and recipes that contain a lot of that nutrient. In this way, the nutrition suggestion system can automatically analyze the user's nutritional status and suggest appropriate meals and recipes.

[0029] The nutrition suggestion system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, and a suggestion unit. The reception unit receives videos taken by the user with a smartphone or tablet.

Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or without a generation AI. For example, the suggestion unit can use an algorithm that allows the generation AI to suggest foods and recipes rich in specific nutrients.

[0035] The reception department can analyze a user's past video submission history and select an appropriate reception method. For example, the reception department can analyze a user's past video submission history and select an appropriate reception method. The reception department can use generative AI to analyze a user's past video submission history and select the optimal reception method. For example, it can analyze the time periods of videos previously submitted by the user and suggest the optimal reception time. It can also prioritize suggesting submission methods previously used by the user (upload, live streaming, etc.). Furthermore, it can consider the user's past submission frequency and suggest an appropriate submission interval. This allows the reception department to analyze a user's past video submission history and select the optimal reception method. Some or all of the above processing in the reception department may be performed using generative AI, for example, or without generative AI. For example, the reception department can input the user's past video submission history into the generative AI, which can then select the optimal reception method.

[0036] The reception unit can filter videos upon receiving them based on the user's current lifestyle and areas of interest. For example, the reception unit can filter videos upon receiving them based on the user's current lifestyle and areas of interest. The reception unit uses a generative AI to filter videos upon receiving them based on the user's current lifestyle and areas of interest. For example, if the user is interested in health, health-related videos will be prioritized. Also, if the user leads a busy life, videos that can be filmed in a short time will be prioritized. Furthermore, if the user has specific dietary restrictions, videos that comply with those restrictions will be prioritized. This allows videos to be filtered based on the user's current lifestyle and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using a generative AI, or not. For example, the reception unit can input the user's current lifestyle and areas of interest into a generative AI, which can then filter the videos.

[0037] The reception unit can prioritize receiving videos that are highly relevant based on the user's geographical location information when receiving videos. For example, when receiving videos, the reception unit prioritizes receiving videos that are highly relevant based on the user's geographical location information. The reception unit uses a generative AI to prioritize receiving videos that are highly relevant based on the user's geographical location information when receiving videos. For example, if the user lives in a specific region, videos using local ingredients will be prioritized. Also, if the user is traveling, videos related to the food culture of the travel destination will be prioritized. Furthermore, if the user has dietary restrictions in a specific region, videos that conform to those dietary restrictions will be prioritized. This allows for the priority reception of highly relevant videos while considering the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using a generative AI, for example, or without a generative AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's geographical location information into a generative AI, which can then select highly relevant videos.

[0038] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity when receiving a video and receive relevant videos. For example, the reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity when receiving a video and receive relevant videos. The reception unit uses generative AI to analyze the user's social media activity when receiving a video and receive relevant videos. For example, it can receive relevant videos based on the content of meals shared by the user on social media. It can also receive relevant videos based on health-related accounts that the user follows on social media. Furthermore, it can receive relevant videos based on dietary restriction groups that the user participates in on social media. This allows the reception unit to analyze the user's social media activity and receive relevant videos. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using generative AI, for example, or without generative AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's social media activity into the generative AI, and the generative AI can select relevant videos.

[0039] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the video during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the video during the analysis. The analysis unit uses a generation AI to adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the video during the analysis. For example, if a video contains important meal information, a detailed analysis can be performed. If a video contains everyday meal information, a concise analysis can be performed. Furthermore, if a video concerns a specific nutrient, an analysis focusing on that nutrient can be performed.

[0045] The suggestion unit can determine the priority of suggestions based on the degree of nutrient deficiency at the time of suggestion. For example, the suggestion unit can determine the priority of suggestions based on the degree of nutrient deficiency at the time of suggestion. The suggestion unit uses a generation AI to determine the priority of suggestions based on the degree of nutrient deficiency at the time of suggestion. For example, if there is a significant deficiency in an important nutrient, that nutrient will be suggested preferentially. Also, if there is a deficiency in a daily nutrient, that nutrient can be suggested preferentially. Furthermore, if there is a deficiency in a specific nutrient, that nutrient can be suggested preferentially. In this way, the priority of suggestions can be determined based on the degree of nutrient deficiency. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using a generation AI, for example, or without a generation AI. For example, the suggestion unit can input the degree of nutrient deficiency into a generation AI, and the generation AI can determine the priority of suggestions.

[0046] The suggestion unit can adjust the order of suggestions based on the relationships between nutrients when making suggestions. For example, the suggestion unit adjusts the order of suggestions based on the relationships between nutrients when making suggestions. The suggestion unit uses a generation AI to adjust the order of suggestions based on the relationships between nutrients when making suggestions. For example, it may suggest nutrients from the same category consecutively. It can also prioritize suggesting nutrients related to the user's areas of interest. Furthermore, it can prioritize suggestions related to specific nutrients. This allows the order of suggestions to be adjusted based on the relationships between nutrients. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using a generation AI, for example, or without a generation AI. For example, the suggestion unit can input the relationships between nutrients into a generation AI, and the generation AI can adjust the order of suggestions.

[0047] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0048] The analysis unit can analyze not only the user's diet but also their sleep patterns and stress levels. For example, if a user stays up late at night, the analysis unit can take this information into account, as sleep deprivation may affect nutrient absorption. Furthermore, if a user is experiencing high stress levels, the unit can assess the impact of stress on nutritional balance and suggest foods and recipes that can help reduce stress. It can also analyze the user's water intake and provide advice on appropriate hydration.

[0049] The recommendation system can also suggest specific supplements based on the user's nutritional status. For example, if a user is deficient in vitamin D, it can suggest taking a vitamin D supplement. Similarly, if a user is deficient in iron, it can suggest taking an iron supplement. Furthermore, if a user has a specific allergy, it can suggest supplements that address that allergy. This allows users to improve their nutritional status not only through diet but also through supplements.

[0050] The reception desk can automatically generate questions about the user's diet and lifestyle and ask the user to answer them. For example, it can generate questions about how often the user exercises and what dietary restrictions they follow. If the user has specific health goals, it can also generate questions related to those goals. Furthermore, based on the user's answers, it can generate more detailed questions to gain a more accurate understanding of the user's nutritional status.

[0051] The analysis unit can analyze the user's genetic information and make suggestions based on their genetic nutritional requirements. For example, if a user has a specific gene mutation, it can evaluate the impact of that mutation on nutrient absorption. Furthermore, if the intake of a specific nutrient is recommended based on the user's genetic information, it can suggest foods and recipes rich in that nutrient. It can also assess the risk of specific diseases based on genetic information and provide nutritional suggestions to mitigate that risk.

[0052] The suggestion function can analyze a user's eating history and provide future meal suggestions based on past eating patterns. For example, if a user has consumed a large amount of a particular nutrient in the past, it can suggest ways to consume that nutrient in a balanced way. It can also suggest new recipes that include a particular food if the user has enjoyed eating that food in the past. Furthermore, it can provide seasonal meal suggestions based on the user's eating history.

[0053] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0054] Step 1: The reception desk accepts videos shot by users using their smartphones or tablets. These videos may include, but are not limited to, content such as meals or lifestyle habits. The reception desk can shoot videos using specific applications and upload them to the generating AI. Furthermore, the reception desk can accept input from various devices, regardless of video format or type. Step 2: The analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the video received by the reception unit and determine the user's nutritional status. The analysis unit analyzes the content of meals, frequency of eating, exercise level, etc., and identifies any deficient nutrients.

The generation AI uses algorithms and databases to analyze the content of meals and lifestyle habits in the video. For example, the generation AI analyzes the content of meals and evaluates calorie intake and vitamin and mineral intake. The generation AI can also analyze exercise level and evaluate calories burned and exercise frequency. Step 3: The suggestion unit, based on the nutritional status determined by the analysis unit, suggests foods and recipes that would be good to eat to supplement any deficient nutrients. If a specific nutrient is deficient, the suggestion unit will suggest foods and recipes that are rich in that nutrient. The generation AI uses a database and algorithms for suggestions to provide the user with the most suitable meals and recipes. For example, if the user is deficient in vitamin D, the generation AI will suggest foods and recipes that are rich in vitamin D. Similarly, if the user is deficient in iron, the generation AI can suggest foods and recipes that are rich in iron.

[0144] 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.

[0145] The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0146] Furthermore, the emotion identification model 59, acting 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 a specific mapping, which is an emotion map (see Figure 9). Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.

[0147] Figure 9 shows the emotion map 400, in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.

[0148] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.

[0149] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.

[0150] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, and motorcycles, emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated based, for example, on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.

[0151] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is 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 the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."

[0152] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values ​​representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values ​​representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.

[0153] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.

[0154] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.

[0155] 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.

[0156] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety 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 the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.

[0157] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.

[0158] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of 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). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.

[0159] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.

[0160] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.

[0161] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

[0162] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.

[0163] All documents, patent applications, and technical standards described herein are incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual document, patent application, and technical standard were specifically and individually noted to be incorporated by reference.
