[0028] (Example of form 1) The personal trainer service according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that provides personalized training and meal plans based on the user's vital data, lifestyle, and ideal body image. This system takes the user's vital data, lifestyle, and ideal body image as input, and a generating AI analyzes this data to generate an optimal training menu and meal plan for the user. The generated menu reflects the user's physical condition and preferences, and is designed to be easy to follow. This allows the user to achieve their ideal body without undue strain. For example, the user inputs information such as their weight, height, age, gender, exercise habits, eating habits, and ideal body type. The user can set goals such as "I want to lose weight" or "I want to gain muscle." The generating AI generates an optimal training menu and meal plan based on the user's vital data, lifestyle, and ideal body image. For example, if the user wants to lose weight, the generating AI suggests a training menu that includes calorie restriction and aerobic exercise. If the user wants to gain muscle, it suggests strength training and a high-protein meal plan. The generated menu reflects the user's physical condition and preferences. For example, if the user likes a particular food, a meal plan including that food is suggested. Furthermore, if a user prefers a particular exercise, a training menu including that exercise will be suggested. This allows users to receive a plan that is easy to stick to. In addition, the generating AI provides feedback based on the user's health status. For example, if a user loses weight while continuing their training, the generating AI will provide feedback on that achievement and further motivate them. Also, if a user becomes unwell, the generating AI will adjust the training menu and meal plan to ensure that they can continue without difficulty. This system allows users to achieve their ideal body without undue strain. By utilizing the generating AI, users can receive a training menu and meal plan that is best suited to them, and maintain their motivation over time. For example, even in a busy daily life, users can continue training at their own pace and lead a healthy life.This allows personal trainer services to provide feedback based on the user's health condition, enabling them to achieve their ideal physique without undue strain.
[0029] The personal trainer service according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, and a data provision unit. The data collection unit collects the user's vital data, lifestyle habits, and ideal body image. For example, the data collection unit collects information such as the user's weight, height, age, gender, exercise habits, eating habits, and ideal body shape. For example, the data collection unit automatically collects data entered by the user and stores it in a database. The data collection unit can also collect vital data in real time through wearable devices or smartphone apps. For example, the data collection unit collects data such as the user's heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit and generates an optimal training menu and meal plan for the user. For example, the analysis unit uses a generation AI to generate an optimal training menu and meal plan based on the user's vital data, lifestyle habits, and ideal body image. For example, if the user wants to lose weight, the analysis unit suggests a training menu that includes calorie restriction and aerobic exercise. Also, if the user wants to increase muscle mass, the analysis unit suggests strength training and a high-protein meal plan. The service provider provides training menus and meal plans generated by the analysis unit. The service provider provides training menus and meal plans that reflect the user's physical condition and preferences. For example, if the user likes a particular food, the service provider will suggest a meal plan that includes that food. Also, if the user likes a particular exercise, the service provider will suggest a training menu that includes that exercise. In this way, the personal trainer service according to the embodiment provides feedback based on the user's health condition and enables them to achieve their ideal body without strain. Some or all of the processing described above in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the service provider can take the training menus and meal plans generated by the analysis unit as input and provide training menus and meal plans using an AI model provided to the user.
[0030] The data collection unit collects users' vital data, lifestyle habits, and ideal body image. Specifically, it collects information such as the user's weight, height, age, gender, exercise habits, eating habits, and ideal body type. This data is managed by automatically collecting information entered by the user and storing it in a database. The data collection unit can also collect vital data in real time through wearable devices and smartphone apps. For example, a wearable device continuously monitors data such as the user's heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, steps taken, and calories burned, and transmits this data to the data collection unit via a smartphone app. Furthermore, the data collection unit provides an application for users to record their meals, allowing them to understand their calorie intake and nutritional balance by entering their daily meals. This enables the data collection unit to centrally manage detailed data on the user's health status and lifestyle habits, making it available to the analysis and provision units. By adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, the data collection unit can flexibly respond to user needs and circumstances. For example, by intensively collecting data over a specific period, it is possible to understand changes in physical condition and training effects in detail over a short period. This allows the data collection unit to build a foundation for understanding the user's health status in real time and providing appropriate feedback.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit to generate optimal training menus and meal plans for the user. The analysis uses a generative AI to generate optimal training menus and meal plans based on the user's vital data, lifestyle, and ideal body image. Specifically, the generative AI receives data such as the user's weight, height, age, gender, exercise habits, eating habits, and ideal body type as input, and generates optimal training menus and meal plans based on this data. For example, if the user wants to lose weight, the generative AI will suggest a training menu that includes calorie restriction and aerobic exercise. If the user wants to increase muscle mass, the generative AI will suggest strength training and a high-protein meal plan. The generative AI utilizes past data and statistical information to provide the plan best suited to the user's goals. Furthermore, the analysis unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the plans provided by the generative AI. For example, it analyzes how the user reacted to the provided plan and adjusts the generative AI's algorithm based on the results. This allows the analysis unit to respond flexibly to the user's needs and circumstances, providing more effective training menus and meal plans. The analysis unit can perform detailed analyses of data related to the user's health status and lifestyle habits, and provide an optimal plan to support the user in achieving their goals.
[0032] The service provider provides training menus and meal plans generated by the analysis unit. Specifically, it provides training menus and meal plans that reflect the user's physical condition and preferences. For example, if a user likes a particular food, it will suggest a meal plan that includes that food. Also, if a user likes a particular exercise, it will suggest a training menu that includes that exercise. The service provider can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the plans it provides. For example, it can analyze how users react to the provided plans and adjust the plans based on the results. Furthermore, the service provider can update training menus and meal plans in real time based on data on the user's health status and lifestyle. For example, if a user's physical condition changes, the service provider will immediately incorporate the new data and update the training menu and meal plan. The service provider will also regularly check the user's progress and adjust the plan as needed to support the user in achieving their goals. In this way, the service provider can provide users with the optimal training menu and meal plan, enabling them to achieve their ideal physique without difficulty. Some or all of the above-described processes in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the service provider can use the training menu and meal plan generated by the analysis unit as input and provide the user with the training menu and meal plan using the AI model provided to the user. This allows the service provider to respond flexibly to the user's needs and circumstances, and to provide more effective training menus and meal plans.

For example, the analysis unit can analyze the nutrient balance of meals the user has eaten in the past and identify any deficient nutrients. It can also identify nutrients the user is consuming in excess and suggest a balanced meal plan. Furthermore, the analysis unit can provide feedback on areas for improvement in the user's diet based on their dietary history. This allows the analysis unit to provide menus that take the user's dietary history into consideration, supporting a healthier lifestyle.
[0094] The data collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of data collection based on those emotions. Furthermore, it can change the data collection method according to the user's emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the unit can collect data through simple questions. If the user is relaxed, it can collect data through a detailed questionnaire. Additionally, if the user is busy, the unit can choose a method to collect the necessary data quickly. This allows the data collection unit to provide data collection methods tailored to the user's emotions, enabling more appropriate data collection.
[0095] The analysis unit can generate strength training and high-protein meal plans according to the user's goals, as well as analyze the user's exercise history and evaluate the effectiveness of exercise. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the types and frequency of exercises the user has performed in the past and evaluate their effectiveness. It can also analyze changes in weight and muscle mass when the user performs specific exercises.

[0098] The service provider can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the length of the menu items offered based on those emotions, as well as adjust the frequency of menu items according to the user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the service provider can reduce the frequency of menu items. Conversely, if the user is relaxed, the service provider can increase the frequency. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the service provider can offer menu items at an appropriate frequency. In this way, the service provider can provide more appropriate support by offering menu items at a frequency that matches the user's emotions.
[0099] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0100] Step 1: The data collection unit collects the user's vital data, lifestyle habits, and ideal body image. Specifically, it collects information such as the user's weight, height, age, gender, exercise habits, eating habits, and ideal body shape. The data collection unit automatically collects the data entered by the user and stores it in a database. It can also collect vital data such as heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature in real time through wearable devices and smartphone apps. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit and generates an optimal training menu and meal plan for the user. Specifically, using a generation AI, it proposes a training menu including calorie restriction and aerobic exercise, as well as a high-protein meal plan, based on the user's vital data, lifestyle, and ideal body image. Step 3: The service provider provides the training menu and meal plan generated by the analysis unit. Specifically, it provides a training menu and meal plan that reflects the user's physical condition, hobbies, and preferences. For example, it proposes a plan tailored to the preferences of a user who likes certain foods or exercises. The processing by the service provider may or may not be performed using AI.

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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, analysis unit, and provision unit, is implemented in, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects the user's vital data and lifestyle habits using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414, and transmits the data to the data processing unit 12 via the control unit 46A. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the collected data to generate an optimal training menu and meal plan. The provision unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which provides the generated menu to the user. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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."
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
