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 nail art design suggestion system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a generative AI to suggest a nail art design that perfectly suits the user's personality and preferences. This system allows the user to upload their own photos, favorite illustrations, nail art designs, and art designs from around the world. The generative AI analyzes this information and generates the optimal nail art design for the user. Furthermore, it can select a nail artist and salon capable of realizing the generated design and even make a reservation. The suggested nail art can be virtually tried on using an AR (Augmented Reality) fitting function, and the system suggests designs that reflect seasonal trends and the user's events. It also provides recommendations for when to use care products along with the nails, product recommendations suitable for skin type, and appropriate timing for re-treatment. This system is provided via a smartphone / tablet app or website. For example, the user uploads their own photos, favorite illustrations, nail art designs, and art designs from around the world. The user can upload photos that reflect their facial features, atmosphere, clothing, etc. For example, by uploading images of their favorite artwork or designs, the generative AI generates a design based on that information. Next, the generative AI analyzes the uploaded information and generates the optimal nail art design for the user. The generative AI suggests designs based on the user's personality and preferences. For example, the system analyzes photos and illustrations uploaded by users and generates nail art designs that match their style. Furthermore, it can select nail artists and salons that can realize the generated designs and even allow users to make reservations. The generation AI searches a database for nail artists and salons that can realize the suggested designs and provides the user with the best options. Users can then choose from these options and make reservations. The suggested nail art can be virtually tried on using an AR (Augmented Reality) fitting function. Users can virtually try on the suggested designs on their hands using their smartphones or tablets. This allows them to check the design before actually getting the treatment. The system also suggests designs that are in line with seasonal trends and the user's events.The generating AI suggests optimal designs based on the latest trend information and the user's event information. For example, it can suggest designs tailored to special events such as weddings and coming-of-age ceremonies. Furthermore, it provides recommendations for the timing of using care products along with nails, product guidance suitable for skin type, and appropriate timing for re-treatment. The generating AI analyzes the user's skin type and nail condition to suggest the optimal timing for using care products and re-treatment. This allows users to perform nail care effectively. This system is provided through a smartphone / tablet app or website. Users can easily access it anytime, anywhere, and find the perfect nail art design for them. As a result, the nail art design suggestion system suggests the optimal nail art design based on the user's information and allows for a consistent process from booking to trying on.
[0029] The nail art design suggestion system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, a generation unit, a selection unit, a reservation unit, and a fitting unit. The collection unit collects user information. User information includes, but is not limited to, age, gender, preferences, and past nail art history. The collection unit collects, for example, photos and illustrations uploaded by the user, nail art designs, and art designs from around the world. The collection unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of information collection based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, the collection unit will immediately collect information to prevent the user from feeling stressed. If the user is busy, the collection unit can postpone information collection and collect it when the user is calm. If the user is excited, the collection unit can quickly collect information and suggest designs before the user's excitement subsides. The generation unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit and generates nail art designs. The generation unit generates nail art designs based on, for example, photos and illustrations uploaded by the user, nail art designs, and art designs from around the world, using a generation AI. The generation AI suggests designs based on the user's personality and preferences. For example, the generation AI analyzes photos and illustrations uploaded by the user and generates nail art designs that match the atmosphere. The generation unit can also suggest optimal designs based on seasonal trends and the user's event information. For example, the generation unit suggests designs tailored to special events such as weddings or coming-of-age ceremonies. The selection unit selects nail artists and salons that can realize the designs generated by the generation unit. For example, the selection unit searches a database for nail artists and salons that can realize the generated designs and provides the user with the best option. The selection unit can also analyze the user's past booking history and select the optimal selection method. For example, the selection unit applies the same selection criteria based on nail artists and salons the user has used in the past. The selection unit can also prioritize selecting nail artists and salons that the user was most satisfied with based on their past booking history. The booking unit makes reservations for the nail artists and salons selected by the selection unit.The booking section can, for example, estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of the booking based on those emotions. For instance, if the user is relaxed, the booking section can make the booking immediately to avoid stressing the user. Alternatively, if the user is busy, the booking section can postpone the booking until the user is calmer. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the booking section can make the booking quickly to complete it before the user's excitement subsides. The fitting section allows users to virtually try on designs generated by the generation section. For example, the fitting section provides the ability to virtually try on suggested designs using a smartphone or tablet. The fitting section can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust how the fitting is displayed based on those emotions. For instance, if the user is relaxed, the fitting section can provide detailed fitting options for the user to choose from. If the user is in a hurry, the fitting section can provide options to quickly complete the fitting. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the fitting section can provide visually appealing fitting options. As a result, the nail art design suggestion system according to the embodiment can suggest the optimal nail art design based on user information and handle everything from booking to trying on in a consistent manner.
[0030] The data collection unit collects user information. This information includes, but is not limited to, age, gender, preferences, and past nail art history. The data collection unit collects, for example, photos and illustrations uploaded by the user, nail art designs, and art designs from around the world. Specifically, it analyzes images and illustrations uploaded by the user via smartphone or computer to understand the user's preferences and trends. The data collection unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of information collection based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the data collection unit is relaxed, it will immediately collect information to avoid stressing the user. This can be achieved using AI technology that analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice tone. The data collection unit can also postpone information collection if the user is busy and collect it when the user is calm. For example, it can integrate with the user's calendar or schedule management app to collect information at the optimal time. Furthermore, if the data collection unit is excited, it can quickly collect information and provide design suggestions while the user's excitement is still high. This allows the data collection unit to flexibly collect information according to the user's status and environment, and acquire data at the optimal time for the user. Furthermore, the data collection unit can store the collected data on a cloud server and share it with other departments. As a result, the data collection unit can collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall performance of the system.
[0031] The generation unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit and generates nail art designs. For example, the generation unit uses a generation AI to generate nail art designs based on photos and illustrations uploaded by the user, nail art designs, and art designs from around the world. The generation AI uses deep learning technology to suggest designs based on the user's personality and preferences. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes photos and illustrations uploaded by the user and generates nail art designs that match the atmosphere. For example, it can generate a flower-themed nail art design based on a photo of flowers uploaded by the user. The generation unit can also suggest the most suitable design based on seasonal trends and the user's event information. For example, the generation unit can suggest designs tailored to special events such as weddings and coming-of-age ceremonies. This uses an algorithm in which the generation AI learns from past data and trend information to generate the optimal design. Furthermore, the generation unit can continuously improve the accuracy of the designs and the quality of the suggestions by collecting user feedback and using it as training data for the generation AI. As a result, the generation unit can provide high-quality nail art designs that meet the user's preferences and needs.
[0032] The selection unit selects nail technicians and salons that can realize the designs generated by the generation unit. For example, the selection unit searches a database for nail technicians and salons that can realize the generated designs and provides the user with the best option. Specifically, the selection unit makes selections based on factors such as the skill level and past performance of the nail technicians and salons, and user reviews. For example, the selection unit applies the same selection criteria to nail technicians and salons that the user has used in the past. The selection unit can also prioritize selecting nail technicians and salons that have given the user the highest satisfaction based on their past booking history. This can be done using machine learning algorithms to predict the user's preferences and satisfaction levels and make the optimal selection. Furthermore, the selection unit can also select the nearest and most convenient nail technician or salon based on the user's current location information. As a result, the selection unit can quickly and accurately select the best nail technician or salon for the user, improving user satisfaction.
[0033] The booking department makes reservations for nail technicians and salons selected by the selection department. For example, the booking department can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of reservations based on those emotions. Specifically, if the user is relaxed, the booking department will make a reservation immediately to minimize stress. This can be achieved using AI technology that analyzes the user's facial expressions and tone of voice. Furthermore, if the user is busy, the booking department can postpone the reservation until the user is calmer. For example, it can integrate with the user's calendar or schedule management app to determine the optimal timing for the reservation. If the user is excited, the booking department can also make a reservation quickly to complete it before the user's excitement subsides. This allows the booking department to flexibly make reservations according to the user's state and environment, completing them at the optimal time for the user. In addition, the booking department can provide an easy-to-use interface for procedures such as confirming, changing, and canceling reservations, improving user convenience. This allows the booking department to provide users with a stress-free and smooth booking experience.
[0034] The fitting section allows users to virtually try on designs generated by the generation section. For example, the fitting section provides the functionality to virtually try on suggested designs using a smartphone or tablet. Specifically, it provides a realistic fitting experience by taking a photo of the user's hand and overlaying the generated nail art design onto it. The fitting section can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method based on that estimation. For example, if the user is relaxed, it can provide detailed fitting options for the user to choose from. If the user is in a hurry, it can provide options to quickly complete the fitting, such as an interface that allows for easy completion. Furthermore, if the user is excited, it can provide visually appealing fitting options, such as using animations and effects to make the fitting experience more enjoyable. This allows the fitting section to flexibly provide a fitting experience according to the user's state and environment, helping the user choose the best design. Additionally, the fitting section provides a function to save fitting results, allowing users to review them later. This allows the fitting room to provide users with a convenient and enjoyable fitting experience.
[0035] The generation unit can generate nail art designs based on photos, illustrations, nail art designs uploaded by the user, and art designs from around the world. For example, the generation unit can analyze photos and illustrations uploaded by the user and generate a nail art design that matches their style. For example, the generation unit can generate a similar design based on a nail art design uploaded by the user. For example, the generation unit can refer to art designs from around the world and generate a nail art design based on them. This allows the generation unit to generate designs based on the user's preferences and personality. Some or all of the above processes in the generation unit are performed using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit inputs photos and illustrations uploaded by the user into the generation AI, which analyzes that information and generates a nail art design.
[0036] The selection unit can search a database for nail technicians and salons that can realize the generated design and provide the user with the best option.

The selection unit can also provide the best option based on, for example, the nail technician's skill information and the salon's equipment information. The selection unit can also provide the best option based on, for example, the user's rating, distance, price, etc. In this way, the selection unit can provide the user with the best nail technician or salon. Some or all of the above processing in the selection unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the selection unit inputs information on nail technicians and salons that can realize the generated design into the AI, and the AI analyzes that information to provide the best option.
[0037] The fitting room can provide a function that allows users to virtually try on suggested designs using a smartphone or tablet. For example, the fitting room can use a smartphone or tablet to virtually try on suggested designs. The fitting room can also use augmented reality (AR) technology to virtually try on suggested designs. The fitting room can also use 3D modeling to virtually try on suggested designs. This allows the fitting room to allow users to check the design before actually receiving treatment. Some or all of the above processes in the fitting room may be performed using AI or not. For example, the fitting room can input suggested designs into an AI, which then analyzes that information and provides a function to virtually try them on.
[0038] The generation unit can propose optimal designs based on seasonal trends and user event information. For example, the generation unit can propose seasonal designs based on the latest trend information. The generation unit can also propose designs tailored to special events based on user event information. For example, the generation unit can propose designs tailored to special events such as weddings or coming-of-age ceremonies. In this way, the generation unit can propose designs that match the season and events. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit is performed using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit inputs seasonal trend information and user event information into the generation AI, which analyzes that information and proposes the optimal design.
[0039] The generation unit can analyze the user's skin type and nail condition and suggest the optimal timing for using care products and for retreatment. For example, the generation unit can analyze the user's skin type and suggest the optimal timing for using care products. The generation unit can also analyze the user's nail condition and suggest the optimal timing for retreatment. For example, the generation unit can suggest the timing for using care products tailored to skin type, such as dry or oily skin. For example, the generation unit can suggest the timing for retreatment tailored to the condition of the nails, such as their tendency to break. In this way, the generation unit can suggest care tailored to the user's skin type and nail condition. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit is performed using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit inputs the user's skin type and nail condition into the generation AI, which analyzes this information and suggests the optimal timing for using care products and for retreatment.
[0040] The data collection unit can analyze the user's past upload history and select the optimal data collection method. For example, the data collection unit can analyze trends in images previously uploaded by the user and prioritize the collection of similar images. For example, the data collection unit can analyze the time periods in which images previously uploaded by the user and collect information during those time periods. For example, the data collection unit can analyze the categories of images previously uploaded by the user and prioritize the collection of information in the same category. This allows the data collection unit to collect information optimally based on the user's past history. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the data collection unit can input the user's past upload history into the AI, which will analyze that information and select the optimal data collection method.
[0041] The data collection unit can filter information based on the user's current fashion and lifestyle. For example, the data collection unit can prioritize collecting relevant designs based on the clothes the user is currently wearing. The data collection unit can also collect appropriate designs based on the user's lifestyle (e.g., whether they are outdoorsy or indoorsy). The data collection unit can also collect relevant designs based on the user's current fashion style (e.g., casual or formal). This allows the data collection unit to collect information tailored to the user's current situation. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the data collection unit can input information about the user's current fashion and lifestyle into an AI, which then analyzes and filters that information.
[0042] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant information by considering the user's geographical location when collecting information. For example, the data collection unit can prioritize the collection of trend information in the area where the user is currently located. For example, the data collection unit can also prioritize the collection of information on nearby nail technicians and salons based on the user's geographical location. For example, the data collection unit can also prioritize the collection of region-specific designs and styles based on the user's geographical location. This allows the data collection unit to collect the most relevant information based on the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the data collection unit inputs the user's geographical location information into the AI, which analyzes that information and prioritizes the collection of highly relevant information.
[0043] The data collection unit can analyze the user's social media activity and collect relevant information when gathering data. For example, the data collection unit can collect relevant information based on designs that the user has "liked" on social media. The data collection unit can also analyze posts from accounts that the user follows on social media and collect relevant information. The data collection unit can also collect relevant information based on designs that the user has shared on social media. This allows the data collection unit to collect the most relevant information based on the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the data collection unit can input data on the user's social media activity into an AI, which can then analyze that information and collect relevant information.
[0044] The generation unit can adjust the level of detail in a design based on the user's preferences and personality during the design generation process. For example, if the user prefers a simple design, the generation unit will generate a simple design. If the user prefers a complex design, the generation unit can also generate a detailed design. If the user prefers a specific theme, the generation unit can also generate a design based on that theme. This allows the generation unit to generate detailed designs tailored to the user's preferences. Some or all of the above-described processes in the generation unit are performed using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit inputs information about the user's preferences and personality into the generation AI, which then analyzes this information to adjust the level of detail in the design.
[0045] The generation unit can apply different generation algorithms depending on the category of the image uploaded by the user when generating a design. For example, if the image uploaded by the user is a work of art, the generation unit will apply an algorithm to generate a design based on that work of art. For example, if the image uploaded by the user is a fashion item, the generation unit can also apply an algorithm to generate a design based on that fashion item. For example, if the image uploaded by the user is a natural landscape, the generation unit can also apply an algorithm to generate a design based on that natural landscape. This allows the generation unit to generate the optimal design according to the image uploaded by the user. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit is performed using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit inputs the category information of the image uploaded by the user into the generation AI, and the generation AI analyzes that information and applies a different generation algorithm.
[0046] The generation unit can determine design priorities based on the user's past preferences when generating designs. For example, the generation unit can prioritize generating similar designs based on designs the user has liked in the past. The generation unit can also exclude designs the user has avoided in the past. For example, the generation unit can analyze the user's past preferences and prioritize generating designs that are most likely to be preferred. This allows the generation unit to generate the optimal design based on the user's past preferences. Some or all of the above processes in the generation unit are performed using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit inputs the user's past preference data into the generation AI, which analyzes that information to determine design priorities.
[0047] The generation unit can generate designs by referencing the user's relevant art and design trends. For example, the generation unit can generate designs by referencing the latest works of artists the user follows. The generation unit can also generate the latest designs based on the design trends the user is interested in. For example, the generation unit can analyze the design trends the user has liked in the past and generate related designs. This allows the generation unit to generate the latest designs based on the user's interests. Some or all of the above processes in the generation unit are performed using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit inputs information on the user's relevant art and design trends into the generation AI, which then analyzes that information and generates designs.
[0048] The selection unit can analyze the user's past booking history to select the optimal selection method.

For example, the collection unit collects user information using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414 and transmits the collected information to the data processing unit 12 by the control unit 46A. The generation unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and generates nail art designs by analyzing the collected information. The selection unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and searches the database 24 for nail artists and salons that can realize the generated designs. The reservation unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and makes reservations for the selected nail artists and salons. The fitting unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, and provides a function to virtually try on the proposed designs. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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."
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.

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.
