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 menu suggestion system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system in which an AI app suggests a one-week menu based on conditions such as budget, family size, nutritional requirements, and dietary restrictions due to illness. If there are no problems with the menu, it is automatically linked to an e-commerce site and ingredients are delivered. The menu suggestion system can reduce the time spent on daily meal planning and shopping for people of all ages. For example, a user inputs conditions such as budget, family size, nutritional requirements, and dietary restrictions due to illness via a messaging app. For example, if the budget is 5,000 yen, the family size is 4 people, the nutritional requirement is high protein and low fat, and the dietary restriction due to illness is diabetes, these conditions are entered. This information is input into the AI ​​app. Next, the AI ​​app analyzes the entered conditions and suggests a one-week menu. The AI ​​app generates the optimal menu based on the conditions. For example, it suggests a menu for one week, such as oatmeal for breakfast on Monday, chicken salad for lunch, and grilled chicken for dinner. If there are no problems with the suggested menu, the AI ​​app automatically links to an e-commerce site and orders the necessary ingredients. For example, based on a suggested menu, users can order ingredients such as oatmeal, chicken salad, and grilled chicken. This order is sent to an e-commerce site, and the ingredients are delivered. This system allows users to handle a week's worth of meal planning and shopping in one go, with only one action required per week. This significantly reduces the time spent on daily meal planning and shopping. For instance, a user can input their requirements once a week via a messaging app and order ingredients based on the menu suggested by the AI ​​app, saving them the trouble of daily meal planning and shopping. Furthermore, because the AI ​​app suggests the optimal menu based on the user's requirements, it can provide nutritionally balanced meals. This service is extremely convenient and reduces the workload for people of all ages who spend time on daily meal planning and shopping. Also, because it only requires one action per week, it is very useful for busy modern people. In this way, the meal planning system can suggest the optimal menu based on the user's requirements and automate the ordering and delivery of ingredients.

[0029] The menu suggestion system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and an ordering unit. The reception unit allows the user to input conditions such as budget, family structure, nutritional requirements, and dietary restrictions due to illness. For example, the reception unit provides an interface for the user to input conditions via a messaging app. The analysis unit analyzes the conditions entered by the reception unit. For example, the analysis unit uses AI to analyze the entered conditions and extracts data for generating an optimal menu. The generation unit generates a menu based on the conditions analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the generation unit uses AI to generate a menu for one week. The generation unit suggests a menu for one week, for example, oatmeal for breakfast on Monday, chicken salad for lunch, and grilled chicken for dinner. The ordering unit orders ingredients based on the menu generated by the generation unit. For example, the ordering unit links to an e-commerce site and automatically orders the necessary ingredients. As a result, the menu suggestion system according to this embodiment can suggest an optimal menu based on the user's conditions and automate the ordering and delivery of ingredients.

[0030] The reception desk allows users to input conditions such as budget, family size, nutritional needs, and dietary restrictions due to illness. Specifically, it provides an interface for users to input conditions via a messaging app. For example, a user can open the app and use fields for entering a budget, a dropdown menu for selecting family size, checkboxes for entering nutritional preferences, and a text box for entering dietary restrictions due to illness. Furthermore, the reception desk has a function that remembers conditions entered by the user in the past and automatically suggests them the next time the user enters information. This saves the user the trouble of entering the same information every time. The reception desk also has a voice input function, allowing users to input conditions by voice. For example, if a user gives a voice command such as "Budget is 5000 yen per week, family size is 4 people, nutritional needs are high protein and low fat, and carbohydrate restriction is required due to diabetes," the system will convert this into text and accept it as conditions. In this way, the reception desk can meet the diverse needs of users and provide a user-friendly interface.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the conditions entered by the reception unit. Specifically, it uses AI to analyze the entered conditions and extract data to generate the optimal menu. For example, the AI ​​uses natural language processing technology to analyze the text data entered by the user and accurately extracts various conditions such as budget, family structure, nutritional aspects, and dietary restrictions due to illness. Furthermore, the AI ​​can utilize past data and statistical information to take into account the user's preferences and past selection history. For example, based on data of menus and ingredients previously selected by the user, it can identify ingredients that the user likes and ingredients that they want to avoid. The analysis unit also connects with a database containing expertise in nutrition, allowing it to refer to nutritional value, calories, and allergen information for each ingredient. This enables the analysis unit to select the ingredients and dishes best suited to the user's conditions and provide the basic data for generating the optimal menu. In addition, the analysis unit can take into account real-time updated market prices and seasonal ingredient information to propose the most cost-effective menu within the budget. As a result, the analysis unit can respond to diverse user conditions and provide data for generating the optimal menu quickly and accurately.

[0032] The generation unit generates menus based on the conditions analyzed by the analysis unit. Specifically, it uses AI to generate a week's worth of menus. For example, the generation unit might suggest a week's worth of menus, such as oatmeal for breakfast on Monday, chicken salad for lunch, and grilled chicken for dinner. The AI ​​uses an algorithm that optimizes nutritional balance, calories, and ingredient combinations based on the user's conditions. For example, if a user desires a high-protein, low-fat diet, the generation unit will create a menu centered around high-protein ingredients such as chicken breast, fish, and legumes. It will also suggest low-carbohydrate ingredients and dishes for users with diabetes. Furthermore, the generation unit can take into account the user's preferences and past selection history to prioritize suggesting dishes and ingredients the user likes. For example, it can identify dishes the user likes based on data from menus and ingredients the user has previously selected and incorporate them into the menu. The generation unit can also utilize seasonal and in-season ingredients to suggest menus that are highly nutritious and cost-effective. As a result, the generation unit can generate menus that are best suited to the user's conditions and provide healthy and balanced meals.

[0033] The ordering unit orders ingredients based on the menus generated by the generation unit. Specifically, it integrates with e-commerce sites and automatically orders the necessary ingredients. For example, the ordering unit creates a list of necessary ingredients based on the generated menu and sends orders to partner online supermarkets and ingredient delivery services. The ordering unit can set the optimal delivery schedule, taking into account the user's address and preferred delivery time. Furthermore, the ordering unit remembers ingredients and brands that the user has purchased in the past and has a function to prioritize ordering ingredients of the same brand and quality. For example, if the user prefers a particular brand of organic vegetables, the ordering unit will prioritize ordering vegetables of that brand. The ordering unit can also monitor inventory status and price fluctuations in real time and select the most cost-effective ingredients. As a result, the ordering unit can quickly and accurately order the optimal ingredients based on the user's conditions and automate the ordering and delivery of ingredients. In addition, the ordering unit provides a service that users can use with peace of mind by notifying them of the order status and delivery status in real time. For example, by sending notifications to the user when the order is confirmed and when delivery is completed, the user can always stay up-to-date. This allows the ordering department to improve user convenience and enable smooth ordering and delivery of ingredients.

[0034] The reception desk allows users to input conditions such as budget, family structure, nutritional needs, and dietary restrictions due to illness. The reception desk provides an interface for users to input conditions, for example, through a messaging app. When users input a budget, the reception desk allows them to input, for example, a monthly budget or a budget per meal. When users input family structure, the reception desk allows them to input, for example, the number of family members, their age range, and specific dietary restrictions. When users input nutritional needs, the reception desk allows them to input, for example, nutrients such as calories, vitamins, and minerals. When users input dietary restrictions due to illness, the reception desk allows them to input conditions such as diabetes, allergies, and hypertension. This allows users to input conditions such as budget, family structure, nutritional needs, and dietary restrictions due to illness. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the reception desk can input the conditions entered by the user into an AI, which can then analyze the conditions.

[0035] The analysis unit can analyze the conditions entered by the reception unit and generate the optimal menu. The analysis unit can, for example, use AI to analyze the entered conditions and extract data for generating the optimal menu. The analysis unit can, for example, use a data analysis algorithm to analyze the entered conditions. The analysis unit can, for example, refer to past analysis data to improve the accuracy of the analysis. The analysis unit can, for example, select the optimal algorithm based on past analysis data to improve the accuracy of the analysis. The analysis unit can, for example, refer to past analysis data and optimize the analysis results for specific conditions. The analysis unit can, for example, analyze past analysis data and adjust the algorithm parameters to improve the accuracy of the analysis. This enables the generation of the optimal menu based on the entered conditions. 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 input the conditions entered by the user into the AI, and the AI ​​can analyze the conditions.

[0036] The generation unit can generate a week's worth of meal plans. The generation unit can generate a week's worth of meal plans using, for example, AI.

[0061] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0062] Step 1: The reception desk allows users to input conditions such as budget, family structure, nutritional needs, and dietary restrictions due to illness. For example, the reception desk provides an interface for users to input conditions via a messaging app. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the conditions entered by the reception unit. For example, the analysis unit uses AI to analyze the entered conditions and extract data to generate the optimal menu. Step 3: The generation unit generates a menu based on the conditions analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the generation unit uses AI to generate a week's worth of menus. The generation unit suggests a menu for the week, such as oatmeal for breakfast on Monday, chicken salad for lunch, and grilled chicken for dinner. Step 4: The ordering unit orders ingredients based on the menu generated by the generation unit. For example, the ordering unit connects to an e-commerce site and automatically orders the necessary ingredients.

[0063] (Example of form 2) The menu suggestion system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system in which an AI app suggests a one-week menu based on conditions such as budget, family size, nutritional requirements, and dietary restrictions due to illness. If there are no problems with the menu, it is automatically linked to an e-commerce site and ingredients are delivered. The menu suggestion system can reduce the time spent on daily meal planning and shopping for people of all ages. For example, a user inputs conditions such as budget, family size, nutritional requirements, and dietary restrictions due to illness via a messaging app. For example, if the budget is 5,000 yen, the family size is 4 people, the nutritional requirement is high protein and low fat, and the dietary restriction due to illness is diabetes, these conditions are entered. This information is input into the AI ​​app. Next, the AI ​​app analyzes the entered conditions and suggests a one-week menu. The AI ​​app generates the optimal menu based on the conditions. For example, it suggests a menu for one week, such as oatmeal for breakfast on Monday, chicken salad for lunch, and grilled chicken for dinner. If there are no problems with the suggested menu, the AI ​​app automatically links to an e-commerce site and orders the necessary ingredients. For example, based on a suggested menu, users can order ingredients such as oatmeal, chicken salad, and grilled chicken. This order is sent to an e-commerce site, and the ingredients are delivered. This system allows users to handle a week's worth of meal planning and shopping in one go, with only one action required per week. This significantly reduces the time spent on daily meal planning and shopping. For instance, a user can input their requirements once a week via a messaging app and order ingredients based on the menu suggested by the AI ​​app, saving them the trouble of daily meal planning and shopping. Furthermore, because the AI ​​app suggests the optimal menu based on the user's requirements, it can provide nutritionally balanced meals. This service is extremely convenient and reduces the workload for people of all ages who spend time on daily meal planning and shopping. Also, because it only requires one action per week, it is very useful for busy modern people. In this way, the meal planning system can suggest the optimal menu based on the user's requirements and automate the ordering and delivery of ingredients.

[0064] The menu suggestion system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and an ordering unit. The reception unit allows the user to input conditions such as budget, family structure, nutritional requirements, and dietary restrictions due to illness. For example, the reception unit provides an interface for the user to input conditions via a messaging app. The analysis unit analyzes the conditions entered by the reception unit. For example, the analysis unit uses AI to analyze the entered conditions and extracts data for generating an optimal menu. The generation unit generates a menu based on the conditions analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the generation unit uses AI to generate a menu for one week. The generation unit suggests a menu for one week, for example, oatmeal for breakfast on Monday, chicken salad for lunch, and grilled chicken for dinner. The ordering unit orders ingredients based on the menu generated by the generation unit. For example, the ordering unit links to an e-commerce site and automatically orders the necessary ingredients. As a result, the menu suggestion system according to this embodiment can suggest an optimal menu based on the user's conditions and automate the ordering and delivery of ingredients.

[0065] The reception desk allows users to input conditions such as budget, family size, nutritional needs, and dietary restrictions due to illness. Specifically, it provides an interface for users to input conditions via a messaging app. For example, a user can open the app and use fields for entering a budget, a dropdown menu for selecting family size, checkboxes for entering nutritional preferences, and a text box for entering dietary restrictions due to illness. Furthermore, the reception desk has a function that remembers conditions entered by the user in the past and automatically suggests them the next time the user enters information. This saves the user the trouble of entering the same information every time. The reception desk also has a voice input function, allowing users to input conditions by voice. For example, if a user gives a voice command such as "Budget is 5000 yen per week, family size is 4 people, nutritional needs are high protein and low fat, and carbohydrate restriction is required due to diabetes," the system will convert this into text and accept it as conditions. In this way, the reception desk can meet the diverse needs of users and provide a user-friendly interface.

[0066] The analysis unit analyzes the conditions entered by the reception unit. Specifically, it uses AI to analyze the entered conditions and extract data to generate the optimal menu. For example, the AI ​​uses natural language processing technology to analyze the text data entered by the user and accurately extracts various conditions such as budget, family structure, nutritional aspects, and dietary restrictions due to illness. Furthermore, the AI ​​can utilize past data and statistical information to take into account the user's preferences and past selection history. For example, based on data of menus and ingredients previously selected by the user, it can identify ingredients that the user likes and ingredients that they want to avoid. The analysis unit also connects with a database containing expertise in nutrition, allowing it to refer to nutritional value, calories, and allergen information for each ingredient. This enables the analysis unit to select the ingredients and dishes best suited to the user's conditions and provide the basic data for generating the optimal menu. In addition, the analysis unit can take into account real-time updated market prices and seasonal ingredient information to propose the most cost-effective menu within the budget. As a result, the analysis unit can respond to diverse user conditions and provide data for generating the optimal menu quickly and accurately.

[0067] The generation unit generates menus based on the conditions analyzed by the analysis unit. Specifically, it uses AI to generate a week's worth of menus. For example, the generation unit might suggest a week's worth of menus, such as oatmeal for breakfast on Monday, chicken salad for lunch, and grilled chicken for dinner. The AI ​​uses an algorithm that optimizes nutritional balance, calories, and ingredient combinations based on the user's conditions. For example, if a user desires a high-protein, low-fat diet, the generation unit will create a menu centered around high-protein ingredients such as chicken breast, fish, and legumes. It will also suggest low-carbohydrate ingredients and dishes for users with diabetes. Furthermore, the generation unit can take into account the user's preferences and past selection history to prioritize suggesting dishes and ingredients the user likes. For example, it can identify dishes the user likes based on data from menus and ingredients the user has previously selected and incorporate them into the menu. The generation unit can also utilize seasonal and in-season ingredients to suggest menus that are highly nutritious and cost-effective. As a result, the generation unit can generate menus that are best suited to the user's conditions and provide healthy and balanced meals.

[0068] The ordering unit orders ingredients based on the menus generated by the generation unit. Specifically, it integrates with e-commerce sites and automatically orders the necessary ingredients. For example, the ordering unit creates a list of necessary ingredients based on the generated menu and sends orders to partner online supermarkets and ingredient delivery services. The ordering unit can set the optimal delivery schedule, taking into account the user's address and preferred delivery time. Furthermore, the ordering unit remembers ingredients and brands that the user has purchased in the past and has a function to prioritize ordering ingredients of the same brand and quality. For example, if the user prefers a particular brand of organic vegetables, the ordering unit will prioritize ordering vegetables of that brand. The ordering unit can also monitor inventory status and price fluctuations in real time and select the most cost-effective ingredients. As a result, the ordering unit can quickly and accurately order the optimal ingredients based on the user's conditions and automate the ordering and delivery of ingredients. In addition, the ordering unit provides a service that users can use with peace of mind by notifying them of the order status and delivery status in real time. For example, by sending notifications to the user when the order is confirmed and when delivery is completed, the user can always stay up-to-date. This allows the ordering department to improve user convenience and enable smooth ordering and delivery of ingredients.

[0136] 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).

[0137] 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 exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.

[0138] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0139] 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. 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.

[0140] 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.

[0141] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The headset terminal 314 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.

[0142] 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.).

[0143] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 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.

[0144] 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.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.

[0147] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0148] 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.

[0149] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.

[0150] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0151] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. 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.

[0152] 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 image sensor or CCD 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).

[0153] 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 exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.

[0154] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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. 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0159] 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.).

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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 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] 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.

[0163] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, generation unit, and ordering unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides an interface for the user to input conditions through a messaging application. The analysis unit is implemented by, for example, the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and uses AI to analyze the input conditions and extract data for generating an optimal menu. The generation unit is implemented by, for example, the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and uses AI to generate a week's worth of menus. The ordering unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and links to an e-commerce site to automatically order the necessary ingredients. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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."

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.
