Also, in this specification, when expressing three or more matters connected by "and / or", the same concept as "A and / or B" is applied.

[0016] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0019] The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a receiving device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 comprises a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52.

[0022] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.

[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure. 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 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0025] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the 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 the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.

[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used in conjunction with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10.

The smart device 14 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). 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 AI ​​Assistant Advisory System for Health Foods and Supplements, according to an embodiment of the present invention, is a system that recommends appropriate products based on the user's health data, goals, allergy information, etc. The AI ​​Assistant Advisory System for Health Foods and Supplements receives the user's health status, health goals, and allergy information from the reception unit, the analysis unit analyzes it, and based on the results, the suggestion unit proposes foods that match the user. For example, if the user inputs "I'm looking for foods that are high in vitamin C," the reception unit receives this information, and the analysis unit analyzes it considering the user's health status and allergy information. As a result, the suggestion unit proposes foods that are high in vitamin C. Furthermore, the suggestion unit provides detailed information about the food's ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects. For example, if the suggested food is oranges, which are high in vitamin C, information about its ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects is also provided. The suggestion unit also provides advice on the dosage and timing of supplement intake. For example, if the user inputs "I want to take a vitamin C supplement," the suggestion unit provides information on the appropriate dosage and timing of intake. Furthermore, the system includes a determination unit that assesses the user's progress toward their health goals, and a suggestion unit that modifies the suggested foods based on that progress. For example, if a user sets the goal of "losing weight," the determination unit assesses their progress, and the suggestion unit suggests appropriate foods. The suggestion unit also estimates the user's emotions and suggests foods based on those emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the suggestion unit suggests foods with relaxing effects. In addition, the reception unit filters information based on the user's current lifestyle and areas of interest when receiving it. For example, if the user enters "I lead a busy life," the reception unit takes that information into consideration when filtering. Finally, the reception unit estimates the user's emotions and determines the priority of the information to be received based on those emotions. For example, if the user enters "I'm tired," the reception unit prioritizes processing that information. As a result, the AI ​​assistant advisory system for health foods and supplements can suggest appropriate foods based on the user's health status, goals, and allergy information.

[0029] The AI ​​assistant advisory system for health foods and supplements according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, and a suggestion unit. The reception unit receives information about the user's health status, health goals, and allergies. For example, the reception unit stores the health status, goals, and allergy information entered by the user in a database. The reception unit can also refer to information previously entered by the user and compare it with the current information. The analysis unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit. For example, the analysis unit executes an algorithm to select appropriate foods based on the user's health status, goals, and allergy information. The analysis unit analyzes the user's health data and generates data for suggesting foods that match the user's health status. The suggestion unit suggests foods that match the user based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. For example, the suggestion unit suggests foods that are rich in vitamin C or foods that do not contain allergens, depending on the user's health status and goals. The suggestion unit also provides information about the ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects of the suggested foods. For example, if the suggested food is an orange rich in vitamin C, information about its components, effects, allergens, and side effects will also be provided. This allows the health food and supplement advisory system AI assistant according to the embodiment to suggest appropriate foods based on the user's health status, goals, and allergy information. Some or all of the above-described processes in the reception unit, analysis unit, and suggestion unit may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the reception unit may receive the user's health status, goals, and allergy information as input, the analysis unit may analyze the received information as input, and the suggestion unit may use an AI model that makes suggestions using the analysis results as input to execute each process.

[0030] The reception department receives information about the user's health status, health goals, and allergies. Specifically, it stores the information entered by the user through a dedicated interface in a database. For example, the user can enter specific symptoms as their health status, such as "easily fatigued" or "concerned about skin problems," and set health goals such as "want to increase energy" or "want clearer skin." They can also enter detailed allergy information, such as "nut allergy" or "dairy allergy." The reception department centrally manages this information and has a function to compare information entered by the user in the past with current information. For example, if a user previously entered "easily fatigued" but now enters "less fatigued," the reception department records this change and provides it to the analysis department. This allows the reception department to accurately understand the user's health status, goals, and allergy information, and provide the necessary data to the analysis and proposal departments. Furthermore, the reception department has a function to periodically update the information entered by the user, updating the database each time the user enters new health status, goals, or allergy information. This ensures that analysis and proposals are always based on the latest information.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit. Specifically, it executes algorithms to select appropriate foods based on the user's health status, goals, and allergy information. For example, if a user enters "I get tired easily," the analysis unit analyzes data on the user's diet and lifestyle to identify the cause. Furthermore, if the user sets a goal of "I want to increase my energy," the analysis unit identifies foods containing the nutrients necessary to increase energy. Allergy information is also taken into consideration, and for users with nut allergies, foods that do not contain nuts are selected. Based on this information, the analysis unit generates data to suggest foods that are appropriate for the user's health status. For example, it utilizes machine learning algorithms using AI to predict the optimal foods based on past data and data from similar users. The analysis unit analyzes the user's health data in real time and generates data to suggest the optimal foods that are appropriate for the user's health status. This allows the analysis unit to comprehensively analyze the user's health status, goals, and allergy information and select the optimal foods. Furthermore, the analysis unit can continuously improve its algorithms based on user feedback to improve the accuracy of its suggestions.

[0032] The suggestion department proposes foods that match the user based on the results analyzed by the analysis department. Specifically, it suggests foods rich in vitamin C or foods free of allergens, depending on the user's health condition and goals. For example, if a user sets the goal of "wanting clear skin," the suggestion department will suggest foods rich in vitamin C and collagen. Also, for a user with a nut allergy, it will suggest foods that do not contain nuts. The suggestion department provides information on the ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects of the suggested foods. For example, if the suggested food is oranges, which are rich in vitamin C, information on its ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects will also be provided. The suggestion department provides the necessary information when the user selects a suggested food, so that the user can choose with confidence. Furthermore, the suggestion department can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its suggestions. For example, it can collect feedback on the user's health condition and effects after consuming the suggested foods and provide it to the analysis department. This allows the suggestion department to propose the most suitable foods according to the user's health condition and goals, supporting the user's health.

[0033] The reception unit can receive health goals for the entire family. For example, the reception unit can receive the health status and goals of all family members as input. The reception unit can also receive allergy information for all family members. The suggestion unit suggests foods that are good for the health of the entire family. For example, the suggestion unit suggests a balanced diet based on the health status and goals of all family members. The suggestion unit can also suggest allergen-free foods, taking into account the allergy information of all family members. This allows for the suggestion of appropriate foods based on the health goals of the entire family. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit and suggestion unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception unit can receive the health status, goals, and allergy information of all family members as input, and the suggestion unit can perform each process using an AI model that makes suggestions using the received information as input.

[0034] The suggestion unit can provide information on the ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects of food. For example, the suggestion unit can provide ingredient information for a suggested food. For example, the suggestion unit can provide ingredient information for a food that is rich in vitamin C. The suggestion unit can also provide information on the effects of a suggested food. For example, the suggestion unit can provide information that vitamin C has the effect of boosting immunity. The suggestion unit can also provide allergen information for a suggested food. For example, the suggestion unit can provide information on allergens contained in a suggested food. The suggestion unit can also provide information on side effects for a suggested food. For example, the suggestion unit can provide information on side effects caused by excessive intake of vitamin C. By providing detailed information on the suggested food, users can make appropriate choices. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the suggestion unit can perform each process using an AI model that accepts information on the ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects of a suggested food as input and provides the information.

[0035] The suggestion unit can provide information regarding the dosage and timing of supplement intake. For example, the suggestion unit can provide the appropriate dosage of a suggested supplement. For example, the suggestion unit can provide the recommended daily intake of a vitamin C supplement. The suggestion unit can also provide the appropriate timing for taking a suggested supplement. For example, the suggestion unit can recommend taking a vitamin C supplement after meals. By providing information on the appropriate dosage and timing of supplement intake, users can effectively utilize supplements. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the suggestion unit can take information on the dosage and timing of a suggested supplement as input and execute each process using an AI model that provides the information.

[0036] The determination unit can determine the progress of the user's health status. The determination unit uses indicators to evaluate the progress of the user's health status, for example. For example, the determination unit determines the progress based on health indicators such as the user's weight, blood pressure, and blood sugar level. The suggestion unit can change the foods it suggests based on the progress determined by the determination unit. For example, if the user's weight is decreasing, the suggestion unit will suggest low-calorie foods. Also, if the user's blood pressure is high, the suggestion unit may suggest foods with reduced salt content. In this way, by changing the foods suggested according to the progress of the user's health status, it supports the achievement of goals. Some or all of the above processes in the determination unit and the suggestion unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the determination unit can use an AI model that accepts the user's health indicators as input and determines the progress to execute each process.

[0037] The reception unit can filter information based on the user's current lifestyle and areas of interest when receiving it. For example, if the user leads a busy life, the reception unit can provide an easy-to-use interface. The reception unit can also prioritize receiving information related to a specific health area if the user is interested in that area. For example, if the user is interested in dieting, it will prioritize receiving information related to dieting. This allows for the reception of more appropriate information by filtering information based on the user's lifestyle and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception unit can receive information about the user's lifestyle and areas of interest as input and execute each process using an AI model that performs filtering.

[0038] The reception desk can analyze the user's past health data and select the optimal reception method. For example, the reception desk may prioritize suggesting reception methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has frequently used in the past. The reception desk can also suggest the optimal reception method for a specific time of day based on the user's past health data. For example, it may analyze the user's past health data and suggest the most efficient reception method. In this way, the optimal reception method can be selected by analyzing the user's past health data. Some or all of the above processes in the reception desk may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the reception desk may use an AI model that receives the user's past health data as input and selects the optimal reception method to execute each process.

[0039] The reception unit can filter health information received based on the user's current lifestyle and areas of interest. For example, if the user leads a busy life, the reception unit can provide an easy-to-use interface. The reception unit can also prioritize receiving information related to a specific health area if the user is interested in that area. For example, if the user is interested in dieting, it will prioritize receiving information related to dieting. This allows for the reception of more appropriate information by filtering information based on the user's lifestyle and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception unit can receive information about the user's lifestyle and areas of interest as input and execute each process using an AI model that performs filtering.

[0040] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the health data during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis for important health data. It can also perform a simplified analysis for general health data. For example, it selects the optimal analysis method based on the importance of the health data. By adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the health data, it can provide more appropriate analysis results. Some or all of the above processes in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can take the importance of the health data as input and execute each process using an AI model that adjusts the level of detail of the analysis.

[0041] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of health data during analysis.

Some or all of the above processing in the determination unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the determination unit can take relevant market data for health data as input and execute each process using an AI model that analyzes the progress status.

[0052] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0053] The analysis unit can consider the user's past dietary history when analyzing the user's health data. For example, the analysis unit can suggest foods that are most suitable for the user's current health condition based on data of foods the user has consumed in the past. The analysis unit can also detect deficiencies or excesses of specific nutrients from the user's dietary history and make suggestions based on that. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the user's dietary history, detect changes in eating patterns, and predict improvements or deteriorations in health. This allows for more accurate suggestions by considering the user's past dietary history.

[0054] The reception desk can consider the user's lifestyle and daily activity level when receiving their health data. For example, if a user exercises frequently, the reception desk can suggest appropriate foods based on that information. If a user leads a sedentary lifestyle, it can also suggest adjusting their calorie intake based on that information. Furthermore, if a user works night shifts, it can suggest foods that suit their lifestyle. This allows for more personalized suggestions by considering the user's lifestyle and activity level.

[0055] The analysis unit can take seasonal and climatic changes into account when analyzing users' health data. For example, it can suggest foods rich in vitamin D during winter and foods that promote hydration during summer. It can also suggest foods with anti-allergic effects during allergy season. Furthermore, it can suggest foods that help regulate body temperature in response to temperature fluctuations. This allows for more appropriate food recommendations by considering seasonal and climatic changes.

[0056] The reception desk can consider the user's dietary preferences and allergy information when receiving their health data. For example, if the reception desk has a preference for a particular food, it can make suggestions based on that information. If the user has an allergy to a particular food, it can also suggest allergen-free foods based on that information. Furthermore, if the user has a specific dietary style (vegetarian, vegan, etc.), it can suggest appropriate foods based on that information. This allows for more personalized suggestions by considering the user's dietary preferences and allergy information.

[0057] The analysis unit can consider the user's genetic information when analyzing the user's health data. For example, based on the user's genetic information, the analysis unit can evaluate the absorption efficiency and metabolic capacity of specific nutrients and make recommendations accordingly. The analysis unit can also suggest specific foods as preventative measures against genetically high-risk diseases. Furthermore, the analysis unit can create personalized nutrition plans based on the user's genetic information. This allows for more accurate recommendations by considering the user's genetic information.

[0058] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0059] Step 1: The reception desk receives information about the user's health status, health goals, and allergies. For example, it stores the health status, goals, and allergy information entered by the user in a database. The reception desk can also refer to information previously entered by the user and compare it with the current information. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit. For example, it executes an algorithm to select appropriate foods based on the user's health status, goals, and allergy information. The analysis unit analyzes the user's health data and generates data to suggest foods that are appropriate for the user's health status. Step 3: The suggestion unit proposes foods that match the user based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, it may suggest foods rich in vitamin C or foods free of allergens, depending on the user's health condition and goals. The suggestion unit also provides information on the ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects of the suggested foods. For example, if the suggested food is oranges, which are rich in vitamin C, information on its ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects will also be provided.

[0060] (Example of form 2) The AI ​​Assistant Advisory System for Health Foods and Supplements, according to an embodiment of the present invention, is a system that recommends appropriate products based on the user's health data, goals, allergy information, etc. The AI ​​Assistant Advisory System for Health Foods and Supplements receives the user's health status, health goals, and allergy information from the reception unit, the analysis unit analyzes it, and based on the results, the suggestion unit proposes foods that match the user. For example, if the user inputs "I'm looking for foods that are high in vitamin C," the reception unit receives this information, and the analysis unit analyzes it considering the user's health status and allergy information. As a result, the suggestion unit proposes foods that are high in vitamin C. Furthermore, the suggestion unit provides detailed information about the food's ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects. For example, if the suggested food is oranges, which are high in vitamin C, information about its ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects is also provided. The suggestion unit also provides advice on the dosage and timing of supplement intake. For example, if the user inputs "I want to take a vitamin C supplement," the suggestion unit provides information on the appropriate dosage and timing of intake. Furthermore, the system includes a determination unit that assesses the user's progress toward their health goals, and a suggestion unit that modifies the suggested foods based on that progress. For example, if a user sets the goal of "losing weight," the determination unit assesses their progress, and the suggestion unit suggests appropriate foods. The suggestion unit also estimates the user's emotions and suggests foods based on those emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the suggestion unit suggests foods with relaxing effects. In addition, the reception unit filters information based on the user's current lifestyle and areas of interest when receiving it. For example, if the user enters "I lead a busy life," the reception unit takes that information into consideration when filtering. Finally, the reception unit estimates the user's emotions and determines the priority of the information to be received based on those emotions. For example, if the user enters "I'm tired," the reception unit prioritizes processing that information. As a result, the AI ​​assistant advisory system for health foods and supplements can suggest appropriate foods based on the user's health status, goals, and allergy information.

[0061] The AI ​​assistant advisory system for health foods and supplements according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, and a suggestion unit. The reception unit receives information about the user's health status, health goals, and allergies. For example, the reception unit stores the health status, goals, and allergy information entered by the user in a database. The reception unit can also refer to information previously entered by the user and compare it with the current information. The analysis unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit. For example, the analysis unit executes an algorithm to select appropriate foods based on the user's health status, goals, and allergy information. The analysis unit analyzes the user's health data and generates data for suggesting foods that match the user's health status. The suggestion unit suggests foods that match the user based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. For example, the suggestion unit suggests foods that are rich in vitamin C or foods that do not contain allergens, depending on the user's health status and goals. The suggestion unit also provides information about the ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects of the suggested foods. For example, if the suggested food is an orange rich in vitamin C, information about its components, effects, allergens, and side effects will also be provided. This allows the health food and supplement advisory system AI assistant according to the embodiment to suggest appropriate foods based on the user's health status, goals, and allergy information. Some or all of the above-described processes in the reception unit, analysis unit, and suggestion unit may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the reception unit may receive the user's health status, goals, and allergy information as input, the analysis unit may analyze the received information as input, and the suggestion unit may use an AI model that makes suggestions using the analysis results as input to execute each process.

[0062] The reception department receives information about the user's health status, health goals, and allergies. Specifically, it stores the information entered by the user through a dedicated interface in a database. For example, the user can enter specific symptoms as their health status, such as "easily fatigued" or "concerned about skin problems," and set health goals such as "want to increase energy" or "want clearer skin." They can also enter detailed allergy information, such as "nut allergy" or "dairy allergy." The reception department centrally manages this information and has a function to compare information entered by the user in the past with current information. For example, if a user previously entered "easily fatigued" but now enters "less fatigued," the reception department records this change and provides it to the analysis department. This allows the reception department to accurately understand the user's health status, goals, and allergy information, and provide the necessary data to the analysis and proposal departments. Furthermore, the reception department has a function to periodically update the information entered by the user, updating the database each time the user enters new health status, goals, or allergy information. This ensures that analysis and proposals are always based on the latest information.

[0063] The analysis unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit. Specifically, it executes algorithms to select appropriate foods based on the user's health status, goals, and allergy information. For example, if a user enters "I get tired easily," the analysis unit analyzes data on the user's diet and lifestyle to identify the cause. Furthermore, if the user sets a goal of "I want to increase my energy," the analysis unit identifies foods containing the nutrients necessary to increase energy. Allergy information is also taken into consideration, and for users with nut allergies, foods that do not contain nuts are selected. Based on this information, the analysis unit generates data to suggest foods that are appropriate for the user's health status. For example, it utilizes machine learning algorithms using AI to predict the optimal foods based on past data and data from similar users. The analysis unit analyzes the user's health data in real time and generates data to suggest the optimal foods that are appropriate for the user's health status. This allows the analysis unit to comprehensively analyze the user's health status, goals, and allergy information and select the optimal foods. Furthermore, the analysis unit can continuously improve its algorithms based on user feedback to improve the accuracy of its suggestions.

[0064] The suggestion department proposes foods that match the user based on the results analyzed by the analysis department. Specifically, it suggests foods rich in vitamin C or foods free of allergens, depending on the user's health condition and goals. For example, if a user sets the goal of "wanting clear skin," the suggestion department will suggest foods rich in vitamin C and collagen. Also, for a user with a nut allergy, it will suggest foods that do not contain nuts. The suggestion department provides information on the ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects of the suggested foods. For example, if the suggested food is oranges, which are rich in vitamin C, information on its ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects will also be provided. The suggestion department provides the necessary information when the user selects a suggested food, so that the user can choose with confidence. Furthermore, the suggestion department can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of its suggestions. For example, it can collect feedback on the user's health condition and effects after consuming the suggested foods and provide it to the analysis department. This allows the suggestion department to propose the most suitable foods according to the user's health condition and goals, supporting the user's health.

[0065] The reception unit can receive health goals for the entire family. For example, the reception unit can receive the health status and goals of all family members as input. The reception unit can also receive allergy information for all family members. The suggestion unit suggests foods that are good for the health of the entire family. For example, the suggestion unit suggests a balanced diet based on the health status and goals of all family members. The suggestion unit can also suggest allergen-free foods, taking into account the allergy information of all family members. This allows for the suggestion of appropriate foods based on the health goals of the entire family. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit and suggestion unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the reception unit can receive the health status, goals, and allergy information of all family members as input, and the suggestion unit can perform each process using an AI model that makes suggestions using the received information as input.

[0066] The suggestion unit can provide information on the ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects of food. For example, the suggestion unit can provide ingredient information for a suggested food. For example, the suggestion unit can provide ingredient information for a food that is rich in vitamin C. The suggestion unit can also provide information on the effects of a suggested food. For example, the suggestion unit can provide information that vitamin C has the effect of boosting immunity. The suggestion unit can also provide allergen information for a suggested food. For example, the suggestion unit can provide information on allergens contained in a suggested food. The suggestion unit can also provide information on side effects for a suggested food. For example, the suggestion unit can provide information on side effects caused by excessive intake of vitamin C. By providing detailed information on the suggested food, users can make appropriate choices. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the suggestion unit can perform each process using an AI model that accepts information on the ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects of a suggested food as input and provides the information.

[0067] The suggestion unit can provide information regarding the dosage and timing of supplement intake. For example, the suggestion unit can provide the appropriate dosage of a suggested supplement. For example, the suggestion unit can provide the recommended daily intake of a vitamin C supplement. The suggestion unit can also provide the appropriate timing for taking a suggested supplement. For example, the suggestion unit can recommend taking a vitamin C supplement after meals. By providing information on the appropriate dosage and timing of supplement intake, users can effectively utilize supplements. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the suggestion unit can take information on the dosage and timing of a suggested supplement as input and execute each process using an AI model that provides the information.

[0068] The determination unit can determine the progress of the user's health status. The determination unit uses indicators to evaluate the progress of the user's health status, for example. For example, the determination unit determines the progress based on health indicators such as the user's weight, blood pressure, and blood sugar level. The suggestion unit can change the foods it suggests based on the progress determined by the determination unit. For example, if the user's weight is decreasing, the suggestion unit will suggest low-calorie foods. Also, if the user's blood pressure is high, the suggestion unit may suggest foods with reduced salt content. In this way, by changing the foods suggested according to the progress of the user's health status, it supports the achievement of goals. Some or all of the above processes in the determination unit and the suggestion unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the determination unit can use an AI model that accepts the user's health indicators as input and determines the progress to execute each process.

[0069] The suggestion unit can estimate the user's emotions and suggest food based on those emotions. For example, the suggestion unit can estimate emotions by analyzing the user's facial expressions. For instance, if the user is feeling stressed, the suggestion unit can suggest foods that have a relaxing effect. The suggestion unit can also estimate emotions by analyzing the user's voice. For example, if the user is tired, the suggestion unit can suggest foods that replenish energy. The suggestion unit can also estimate emotions by analyzing the user's biometric data. For example, the suggestion unit can estimate emotions by analyzing the user's heart rate or skin electrical activity. This allows for more appropriate suggestions by suggesting foods that match the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, with an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above-described processes in the suggestion unit may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the suggestion unit can input user facial expression data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform emotion estimation.

The analysis unit can also detect deficiencies or excesses of specific nutrients from the user's dietary history and make suggestions based on that. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the user's dietary history, detect changes in eating patterns, and predict improvements or deteriorations in health. This allows for more accurate suggestions by considering the user's past dietary history.

[0094] The suggestion function can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the presentation method of suggested foods based on those emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the suggestion function will suggest foods with detailed explanations. If the user is in a hurry, the suggestion function can suggest foods with concise explanations. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the suggestion function can suggest foods using visually easy-to-understand graphics. This allows for more effective suggestions by using presentation methods that match the user's emotions.

[0095] The reception desk can consider the user's lifestyle and daily activity level when receiving their health data. For example, if a user exercises frequently, the reception desk can suggest appropriate foods based on that information. If a user leads a sedentary lifestyle, it can also suggest adjusting their calorie intake based on that information. Furthermore, if a user works night shifts, it can suggest foods that suit their lifestyle. This allows for more personalized suggestions by considering the user's lifestyle and activity level.

[0096] The suggestion function can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the food choices it suggests based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the suggestion function will prioritize suggesting foods with relaxing effects. If the user is tired, it can also suggest foods that provide energy. Furthermore, if the user is happy, it can suggest foods that help maintain that feeling. This allows for more appropriate suggestions by providing food choices that match the user's emotions.

[0097] The analysis unit can take seasonal and climatic changes into account when analyzing users' health data. For example, it can suggest foods rich in vitamin D during winter and foods that promote hydration during summer. It can also suggest foods with anti-allergic effects during allergy season. Furthermore, it can suggest foods that help regulate body temperature in response to temperature fluctuations. This allows for more appropriate food recommendations by considering seasonal and climatic changes.

[0098] The suggestion unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the amount of food it suggests based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the suggestion unit will suggest a small amount of food to prevent overeating. If the user is relaxed, the suggestion unit can suggest an appropriate amount of food. Furthermore, if the user is tired, the suggestion unit can suggest a slightly larger amount of food to replenish energy. By adjusting the amount of food according to the user's emotions, more appropriate suggestions can be made.

[0099] The reception desk can consider the user's dietary preferences and allergy information when receiving their health data. For example, if the reception desk has a preference for a particular food, it can make suggestions based on that information. If the user has an allergy to a particular food, it can also suggest allergen-free foods based on that information. Furthermore, if the user has a specific dietary style (vegetarian, vegan, etc.), it can suggest appropriate foods based on that information. This allows for more personalized suggestions by considering the user's dietary preferences and allergy information.

[0100] The suggestion function can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the types of food it suggests based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the suggestion function might suggest relaxing herbal tea or chocolate. If the user is tired, it might suggest nuts or fruit to replenish energy. Furthermore, if the user is happy, it might suggest desserts or snacks to maintain that feeling. By providing food types that match the user's emotions, it becomes possible to make more appropriate suggestions.

[0101] The analysis unit can consider the user's genetic information when analyzing the user's health data. For example, based on the user's genetic information, the analysis unit can evaluate the absorption efficiency and metabolic capacity of specific nutrients and make recommendations accordingly. The analysis unit can also suggest specific foods as preventative measures against genetically high-risk diseases. Furthermore, the analysis unit can create personalized nutrition plans based on the user's genetic information. This allows for more accurate recommendations by considering the user's genetic information.

[0102] The suggestion unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of food intake based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the suggestion unit may suggest relaxing foods at night. If the user is tired, the suggestion unit may suggest energy-replenishing foods at breakfast. Furthermore, if the user is happy, the suggestion unit may suggest foods to maintain that feeling at lunchtime. By adjusting the timing of food intake according to the user's emotions, more appropriate suggestions can be made.

[0103] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0104] Step 1: The reception desk receives information about the user's health status, health goals, and allergies. For example, it stores the health status, goals, and allergy information entered by the user in a database. The reception desk can also refer to information previously entered by the user and compare it with the current information. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit. For example, it executes an algorithm to select appropriate foods based on the user's health status, goals, and allergy information. The analysis unit analyzes the user's health data and generates data to suggest foods that are appropriate for the user's health status. Step 3: The suggestion unit proposes foods that match the user based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, it may suggest foods rich in vitamin C or foods free of allergens, depending on the user's health condition and goals. The suggestion unit also provides information on the ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects of the suggested foods. For example, if the suggested food is oranges, which are rich in vitamin C, information on its ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects will also be provided.

[0105] 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 user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating 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.

[0106] Data generation model 58 is a form of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of generative AI include text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. 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 with 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 from 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. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, 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), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each of the above parts is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI ​​in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example.Furthermore, processing performed by AI, including generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by AI, including generative AI.

[0107] Furthermore, the processing performed by the data processing system 10 described above is carried out by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the smart device 14, but it may also be carried out by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the smart device 14.

[0153] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also 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 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).

[0154] 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. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0155] 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). 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. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI ​​in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] For example, the reception unit is implemented by the microphone 238 of the robot 414 and receives the user's health status, goals, and allergy information. The analysis unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and analyzes the received information. The suggestion unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and suggests appropriate food based on the analysis results. The suggestion unit can also be implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and provides information on the food's ingredients, effects, allergens, and side effects. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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."

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

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.
