The encouragement provision unit can, for example, send encouragement by combining images of the user's efforts with music.The encouragement-providing unit can, for example, provide encouragement to help users regain their motivation. This allows the health management system according to the embodiment to provide customized advice and action plans based on the user's health goals and lifestyle, thereby enabling individualized health management.
[0030] The advice service provides customized advice based on the user's health goals and lifestyle. Specifically, it uses a generative AI to generate specific advice tailored to the user's health goals. The generative AI analyzes the user's entered health goals and daily activity data to provide advice that meets individual needs. For example, if a user wants to lose weight, the generative AI considers the user's current weight, diet, exercise frequency, etc., and proposes a calorie intake target and a recommended exercise plan. It can also provide diet and exercise advice based on the user's lifestyle. For example, it can suggest effective short-duration exercises for busy business people, and provide home-based exercises and healthy recipes for housewives who spend a lot of time at home. Furthermore, it can propose action plans tailored to the user's health goals. For example, it can create weekly exercise schedules and meal plans, showing the specific steps the user needs to achieve their goals. In this way, the advice service can provide specific and actionable advice to help users achieve their health goals and support their individual health management.
[0031] The data analysis department analyzes physiological data and food photos from wearable devices. Specifically, it uses generative AI to analyze physiological data and evaluate the user's health status. For example, it analyzes data such as heart rate, blood pressure, and sleep patterns to monitor the user's health status in real time. Based on this data, the generative AI can detect abnormalities and warn of health risks early. It can also analyze food photos to provide nutritional and calorie information. When a user takes a photo of their meal, the generative AI uses image recognition technology to identify the ingredients and calculate the nutrients and calories of each ingredient. This allows users to understand their meals in detail and strive for a balanced diet. Furthermore, it can analyze the user's exercise data to evaluate the effectiveness of their exercise. For example, it analyzes data such as steps taken, calories burned, and exercise time to evaluate the user's exercise performance. This allows the data analysis department to comprehensively evaluate the user's health status and provide appropriate feedback.
[0032] The Information Provision Department provides information analyzed by the Data Analysis Department. Specifically, it uses generation AI to present analysis results to users in an easy-to-understand manner. For example, it can generate and provide health reports to users. These health reports contain detailed information about the user's health status and progress, and are displayed visually using graphs and charts. It can also provide specific advice based on the analysis results. For example, it can provide specific advice that users can implement in their daily lives, such as suggestions for improving their diet or recommending exercise. Furthermore, the Information Provision Department can send reminders and notifications tailored to the user's health status. For example, it can send reminders for regular health checks or notifications informing users of exercise times, supporting them in continuing to manage their health. In this way, the Information Provision Department can provide users with information that allows them to accurately understand their own health status and take appropriate action.
[0033] The recording unit records meal history, exercise records, and weight changes. Specifically, it uses generative AI to automatically record meal history. When a user takes a photo of a meal, the generative AI uses image recognition technology to identify the ingredients and automatically records the contents of the meal. It can also automatically record exercise. Based on exercise data acquired from the wearable device, it records the user's exercise history in detail. Furthermore, it can record and graph weight changes. When a user enters their weight, the generative AI uses that data to graph the weight changes, displaying them in an easy-to-understand visual format. This allows the user to grasp changes in their health status at a glance. The recording unit centrally manages this data, making it easy for users to refer to past data. For example, users can search for meal history and exercise history for a specific period and review their past health status. In this way, the recording unit can support users in recording and continuously managing their health status in detail.
[0034] The music recommendation department recommends music suitable for fitness. Specifically, it uses generative AI to recommend music tailored to the user's preferences. The generative AI analyzes the user's musical tastes and past playback history to identify the music the user will like. For example, if a user prefers energetic music, the generative AI will recommend upbeat and rhythmic music. It can also recommend music according to the type of exercise. For example, it will suggest fast-paced music for running and relaxing music for yoga. Furthermore, it can recommend music to boost the user's motivation. For example, if a user's motivation drops during exercise, the generative AI will play energetic music along with an encouraging message. In this way, the music recommendation department can improve the user's fitness experience and provide support to maximize the effectiveness of their exercise.
[0035] The encouragement service sends messages of support to users when they stop tracking their weight or exercise, or when their motivation declines. Specifically, it uses a generative AI to generate messages tailored to the user's situation. The generative AI analyzes the user's past data and current situation, and sends encouraging messages at the appropriate time. For example, if a user skips exercise for several days, the generative AI will send a message such as, "Keep going! Even a little exercise can lead to great results." It can also combine images of the user's efforts with music to send messages of support. For example, it can send photos of past achievements along with motivational music. Furthermore, it can provide messages of support to help users regain their motivation. For example, if a user fails to achieve a goal, the generative AI will send a message such as, "Let's try harder next time! You can do it!" In this way, the encouragement service can support users in continuing their health management and provide encouragement to maintain their motivation.
[0036] The advice-providing unit can analyze the user's past health data and select the most appropriate advice. For example, the advice-providing unit can analyze the user's past eating history and propose a nutritionally balanced meal plan. For example, the advice-providing unit can also provide an effective training plan based on the user's exercise history.

[0135] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0136] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.

The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0139] 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.
[0140] In the smart glasses 214, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48.

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.

[0162] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0163] 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.

[0177] 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.

For example, the advice provision unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and generates specific advice according to the user's health goals. The data analysis unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes physiological data and food photos from a wearable device.

The recording unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and records the history of meals and exercise.

The encouragement provision unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides encouragement according to the user's situation. The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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."
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
