[0028] (Example of form 1) The health promotion support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that collects the user's health information, acquires step count data, and automatically generates a suitable meal menu using a generative AI. This system supports the user's health promotion and reduces the time spent thinking about meal menus by collecting the user's health information, acquiring step count data, and automatically generating a suitable meal menu using a generative AI. First, the user registers information such as gender, height, weight, and allergies in HELPO. For example, by registering in advance any foods the user is allergic to or cannot eat, the generative AI can generate a menu that takes this information into consideration. Next, the health app and HELPO are linked. This allows the system to acquire step count data for the past month, week, and day (today) measured by HELPO. For example, it collects data such as how much the user walked in a day and how much exercise they did in a week. Based on this data, the generative AI automatically generates a meal menu suitable for the user. The generative AI proposes a meal menu suitable for health promotion, taking into consideration the user's gender, height, weight, allergy information, step count data, etc. For example, if the user has exercised a lot, it can propose a menu suitable for energy replenishment. This system not only supports users in improving their health but also reduces the time they spend thinking about meal menus. For example, it eliminates the hassle of planning daily meals in a busy daily life. Furthermore, the menus suggested by the generation AI are nutritionally balanced and help maintain the user's health. In this way, a meal menu generation service using generation AI contributes to improving users' health and reducing the time they spend thinking about meal menus. This allows the health promotion support system to collect users' health information, acquire step count data, and automatically generate suitable meal menus using generation AI.

[0029] The health promotion support system according to the embodiment comprises a collection unit, an acquisition unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a provision unit. The collection unit collects the user's health information. The user's health information includes, but is not limited to, gender, height, weight, and allergy information. The collection unit collects this information, for example, by having the user register in advance any foods they are allergic to or foods they cannot eat. The collection unit can also periodically update the user's health information. For example, if a user discovers a new allergy, that information can be added to the collection unit. The acquisition unit acquires step count data for the most recent month, week, and day (today) measured by HELPO. The step count data includes, but is not limited to, information such as how many steps the user took in a day and how much exercise they did in a week. The acquisition unit acquires step count data, for example, using a pedometer application or a wearable device. The acquisition unit can also periodically update the step count data. For example, if a user starts a new exercise routine, that data can be added to the acquisition unit. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit and the acquisition unit. The analysis unit performs analysis based on, for example, the user's gender, height, weight, allergy information, and step count data. The analysis unit can also consider the user's health information during the analysis. For example, if the user has allergies, this information is taken into account during the analysis. The generation unit generates meal menus based on the data analyzed by the analysis unit. The generation unit generates meal menus suitable for the user, for example, using a generation AI. The generation AI considers the user's gender, height, weight, allergy information, and step count data to suggest meal menus suitable for health promotion. For example, if the user has exercised a lot, it can suggest a menu suitable for energy replenishment. The delivery unit provides the meal menus generated by the generation unit to the user. The delivery unit provides the meal menus to the user, for example, through an application. The delivery unit can also provide notifications via email or in paper form. For example, the meal menus can be provided in the way the user prefers.As a result, the health promotion support system according to this embodiment can collect the user's health information, acquire step count data, automatically generate suitable meal menus using a generation AI, and provide them to the user.

[0030] The data collection unit collects user health information. This information includes, but is not limited to, gender, height, weight, and allergy information. The data collection unit collects this information, for example, by having users pre-register foods they are allergic to or foods they cannot eat. Specifically, users input their health information through a dedicated application and send it to the data collection unit. The application securely stores the information entered by the user and can update it as needed. The data collection unit can also periodically update the user's health information. For example, if a user discovers a new allergy, that information can be added to the data collection unit. The data collection unit automatically analyzes the information entered by the user and stores it in a database. This allows the data collection unit to centrally manage user health information and collaborate with other departments as needed. Furthermore, the data collection unit takes measures to anonymize user health information and protect privacy. For example, it encrypts user personal information to prevent access by third parties. This allows the data collection unit to collect user health information safely and efficiently, improving the overall system performance.

[0031] The data acquisition unit acquires step count data for the past month, week, and day (current day) measured by HELPO. This step count data includes, but is not limited to, information such as how many steps a user takes in a day or how much exercise they do in a week. The data acquisition unit acquires step count data using, for example, pedometer applications or wearable devices. Specifically, the user wears a smartphone or smartwatch, and these devices measure the number of steps. The data acquisition unit automatically collects data from these devices and transmits it to a central database. The data acquisition unit can also periodically update the step count data. For example, if a user starts a new exercise routine, that data can be added to the data acquisition unit. The data acquisition unit monitors the user's step count data in real time, accurately understanding their daily exercise level. Furthermore, the data acquisition unit can analyze the user's step count data to understand exercise patterns and trends. This allows the data acquisition unit to gain a detailed understanding of the user's exercise habits and provide data for health promotion.

[0032] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection and acquisition units. The analysis unit performs analysis based on data such as the user's gender, height, weight, allergy information, and step count. Specifically, it uses AI to analyze this data and evaluate the user's health status and exercise habits. For example, it calculates appropriate calorie intake and exercise levels based on the user's gender, height, and weight. It also identifies foods and ingredients that the user should avoid, taking allergy information into consideration. Furthermore, it analyzes step count data to evaluate the user's exercise level and exercise patterns. The analysis unit integrates this data to comprehensively evaluate the user's health status. For example, it evaluates whether the user is exercising sufficiently and consuming appropriate calories, and identifies areas for improvement. This allows the analysis unit to gain a detailed understanding of the user's health status and provide specific advice for health promotion.

[0033] The generation unit generates meal menus based on data analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to generate meal menus suitable for the user. The generation AI considers the user's gender, height, weight, allergy information, step count data, etc., to suggest meal menus suitable for promoting health. Specifically, the AI ​​analyzes the user's data and generates nutritionally balanced menus. For example, if the user has exercised a lot, it can suggest a menu suitable for energy replenishment. The generation AI considers the user's preferences and food allergy information to suggest menus that the user can eat with peace of mind. In addition, the generation AI can also suggest menus using seasonal ingredients, taking into account seasonal and regional characteristics. In this way, the generation unit can provide optimal meal menus tailored to the user's health condition and preferences.

[0034] The service provider delivers the meal menus generated by the generation unit to the user. The service provider delivers the meal menus to the user, for example, through an application. Specifically, the user can open a dedicated application and check the generated meal menus. The service provider can also provide notifications via email or in paper form.

For example, the acquisition unit acquires step count data using the camera 42 and communication I / F 44 of the smart device 14 and processes it with the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and analyzes the data from the data collection unit and the acquisition unit. For example, the generation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and generates a cooking menu using generation AI. For example, the serving unit is implemented by the output device 40 of the smart device 14 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and provides the generated cooking menu to the user. The correspondence between each unit and the devices and control units is not limited to the examples described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0132] [Second Embodiment] Figure 3 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 210 according to the second embodiment.

[0133] As shown in Figure 3, the data processing system 210 includes a data processing device 12 and smart glasses 214. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.

The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions.

[0164] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0165] As shown in Figure 7, the data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0172] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0173] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30.

[0177] 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 controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12.

[0178] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a 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 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data).

Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.

[0179] 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 performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but it may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, and the robot 414 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0180] For example, the data collection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the acquisition unit acquires step count data using the camera 42 and communication I / F 44 of the robot 414 and processes it using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. For example, the analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and analyzes the data from the data collection unit and the acquisition unit. For example, the generation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and generates a cooking menu using a generation AI. For example, the serving unit is implemented by the speaker 240 of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and provides the generated cooking menu to the user. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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."

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.
