For example, it incorporates information from magazines, purchase data, and social media in various countries, and the generative AI analyzes it. Next, the fashion suggestion system automatically generates a video of the customer wearing the clothes that the user has searched for. The generative AI predicts trends according to the user's preferences and generates a fashion image video of the user wearing the clothes. For example, if a user searches for a specific piece of clothing, a video of them wearing that clothing will be generated. The generated video is delivered to the user in short video format. This allows the user to easily see themselves moving around in the clothes. Furthermore, the system predicts trends based on user preferences, enabling users to discover their own tastes. For example, if a user becomes interested in a particular trend, videos related to that trend will be recommended. This system allows users to find clothes that suit them, reducing the stress of information overload from keeping up with trends, the stress of starting to wear similar styles to others, and the stress of not being able to pursue the fashion they truly love. In this way, the fashion suggestion system allows users to find clothes that suit them, reducing the stress of information overload from keeping up with trends, the stress of starting to wear similar styles to others, and the stress of not being able to pursue the fashion they truly love.
[0029] The fashion suggestion system according to this embodiment comprises a trend prediction unit, a video generation unit, and a video recommendation unit. The trend prediction unit predicts trends according to the user's preferences. The trend prediction unit analyzes, for example, popular fashion trends by country, age group, and generation, grasps trends, and systematizes them. The trend prediction unit takes in information from magazines, purchase data, and social media in various countries, and the generation AI analyzes it. For example, the trend prediction unit analyzes popular items and styles in specific countries, age groups, and generation segments. The trend prediction unit uses the generation AI to predict trends according to the user's preferences. The video generation unit automatically generates fashion image videos of the user wearing clothes based on the trends predicted by the trend prediction unit. For example, the video generation unit automatically generates videos of the customer wearing clothes that the user has searched for. The video generation unit generates videos that match the user's body shape and posture. For example, the video generation unit generates videos that realistically reproduce the fit of clothes according to the user's body shape. The video generation unit generates videos that emphasize ease of movement based on the user's posture. The video generation unit generates videos that provide footage from different angles, depending on the user's body type and posture. The video recommendation unit recommends the videos generated by the video generation unit. The video recommendation unit delivers the generated videos to the user in short video format. The video recommendation unit predicts trends according to the user's preferences, enabling the user to discover their own preferences. For example, if the user is interested in a particular trend, the video recommendation unit recommends videos related to that trend. As a result, the fashion suggestion system according to this embodiment can predict trends, generate videos, and make recommendations according to the user's preferences.
[0030] The trend prediction unit predicts trends based on user preferences. For example, it analyzes fashion trends by country, age group, and generation to grasp and systematize trends. Specifically, the trend prediction unit gathers information from magazines, purchase data, and social media in various countries, and a generative AI analyzes it. The generative AI uses natural language processing technology to extract keywords and topics related to fashion from text data and image recognition technology to identify trendy items and styles from image data. For example, the generative AI analyzes fashion items and styles frequently posted on social media to understand their popularity and how trends change. It also analyzes purchase data to understand the trends in items and brands that consumers are actually buying and reflects this in trend predictions. Furthermore, the trend prediction unit learns the preferences and tastes of individual users based on their past purchase and search history, and performs personalized trend predictions.

[0031] The video generation unit automatically generates fashion image videos of users wearing clothes based on trends predicted by the trend prediction unit. Specifically, the video generation unit automatically generates videos of customers wearing clothes that the user has searched for. The video generation unit utilizes 3D modeling technology and motion capture technology to generate videos that match the user's body shape and posture. For example, the video generation unit generates a 3D model that realistically reproduces the fit of the clothes based on the user's body shape data, and then adds various poses and movements to that model to generate a video that emphasizes ease of movement. In addition, the video generation unit simulates multiple camera angles to provide footage from different angles, allowing users to check the design and fit of the clothes from various perspectives. Furthermore, the video generation unit provides more realistic and personalized fashion image videos by reflecting the user's individual characteristics such as skin color, hairstyle, and accessories. For example, if a user tries on clothes of a particular color, it realistically reproduces how that color looks on the user's skin tone. The video generation unit also provides visually appealing content by adding backgrounds, music, effects, etc. to the generated videos. This allows the video generation unit to provide realistic image videos that allow users to try out new fashions on their own faces, thereby increasing their desire to purchase.
[0032] The video recommendation unit recommends videos generated by the video generation unit. Specifically, the video recommendation unit delivers the generated videos to users in short video format. The video recommendation unit utilizes generation AI to predict trends based on user preferences and help users discover their own preferences. The generation AI analyzes the user's viewing history and rating data to identify videos that the user is likely to be interested in. For example, if a user shows interest in a particular trend, it recommends videos related to that trend. Furthermore, the video recommendation unit analyzes user behavior data in real time and updates its recommendations according to changes in the user's interests and preferences. For example, if a user shows interest in a new trend, it immediately recommends the latest videos related to that trend. The video recommendation unit also collects user feedback and continuously improves the accuracy of its recommendation algorithm. For example, if a user gives a high rating to a recommended video, it increases the frequency of recommending similar videos based on that rating. On the other hand, if a user gives a low rating, the frequency of recommendations for videos related to that trend will be reduced. This allows the video recommendation system to provide the most suitable videos according to the user's preferences, helping users discover new fashion items and styles. Furthermore, the video recommendation system provides a function for users to share recommended videos, promoting their spread on social media. This allows users to share their favorite fashion with others and helps to form a fashion community.
[0033] The trend prediction unit can analyze fashion trends by country, era, and age group, identify trends, and systematize them.

For example, if a user searches for a specific piece of clothing, a video of them wearing that clothing will be generated. The generated video is delivered to the user in short video format. This allows the user to easily see themselves moving around in the clothes. Furthermore, the system predicts trends based on user preferences, enabling users to discover their own tastes. For example, if a user becomes interested in a particular trend, videos related to that trend will be recommended. This system allows users to find clothes that suit them, reducing the stress of information overload from keeping up with trends, the stress of starting to wear similar styles to others, and the stress of not being able to pursue the fashion they truly love. In this way, the fashion suggestion system allows users to find clothes that suit them, reducing the stress of information overload from keeping up with trends, the stress of starting to wear similar styles to others, and the stress of not being able to pursue the fashion they truly love.
[0060] The fashion suggestion system according to this embodiment comprises a trend prediction unit, a video generation unit, and a video recommendation unit. The trend prediction unit predicts trends according to the user's preferences. The trend prediction unit analyzes, for example, popular fashion trends by country, age group, and generation, grasps trends, and systematizes them. The trend prediction unit takes in information from magazines, purchase data, and social media in various countries, and the generation AI analyzes it. For example, the trend prediction unit analyzes popular items and styles in specific countries, age groups, and generation segments. The trend prediction unit uses the generation AI to predict trends according to the user's preferences. The video generation unit automatically generates fashion image videos of the user wearing clothes based on the trends predicted by the trend prediction unit. For example, the video generation unit automatically generates videos of the customer wearing clothes that the user has searched for. The video generation unit generates videos that match the user's body shape and posture. For example, the video generation unit generates videos that realistically reproduce the fit of clothes according to the user's body shape. The video generation unit generates videos that emphasize ease of movement based on the user's posture. The video generation unit generates videos that provide footage from different angles, depending on the user's body type and posture. The video recommendation unit recommends the videos generated by the video generation unit. The video recommendation unit delivers the generated videos to the user in short video format. The video recommendation unit predicts trends according to the user's preferences, enabling the user to discover their own preferences. For example, if the user is interested in a particular trend, the video recommendation unit recommends videos related to that trend. As a result, the fashion suggestion system according to this embodiment can predict trends, generate videos, and make recommendations according to the user's preferences.
[0061] The trend prediction unit predicts trends based on user preferences. For example, it analyzes fashion trends by country, age group, and generation to grasp and systematize trends. Specifically, the trend prediction unit gathers information from magazines, purchase data, and social media in various countries, and a generative AI analyzes it. The generative AI uses natural language processing technology to extract keywords and topics related to fashion from text data and image recognition technology to identify trendy items and styles from image data. For example, the generative AI analyzes fashion items and styles frequently posted on social media to understand their popularity and how trends change. It also analyzes purchase data to understand the trends in items and brands that consumers are actually buying and reflects this in trend predictions. Furthermore, the trend prediction unit learns the preferences and tastes of individual users based on their past purchase and search history, and performs personalized trend predictions. For example, it predicts new trends that a particular user is likely to like based on items they have purchased in the past and styles they have searched for. As a result, the trend prediction unit can predict trends that match user preferences with high accuracy and provide users with optimal fashion suggestions.
[0062] The video generation unit automatically generates fashion image videos of users wearing clothes based on trends predicted by the trend prediction unit. Specifically, the video generation unit automatically generates videos of customers wearing clothes that the user has searched for. The video generation unit utilizes 3D modeling technology and motion capture technology to generate videos that match the user's body shape and posture. For example, the video generation unit generates a 3D model that realistically reproduces the fit of the clothes based on the user's body shape data, and then adds various poses and movements to that model to generate a video that emphasizes ease of movement. In addition, the video generation unit simulates multiple camera angles to provide footage from different angles, allowing users to check the design and fit of the clothes from various perspectives. Furthermore, the video generation unit provides more realistic and personalized fashion image videos by reflecting the user's individual characteristics such as skin color, hairstyle, and accessories. For example, if a user tries on clothes of a particular color, it realistically reproduces how that color looks on the user's skin tone. The video generation unit also provides visually appealing content by adding backgrounds, music, effects, etc. to the generated videos. This allows the video generation unit to provide realistic image videos that allow users to try out new fashions on their own faces, thereby increasing their desire to purchase.
[0063] The video recommendation unit recommends videos generated by the video generation unit. Specifically, the video recommendation unit delivers the generated videos to users in short video format. The video recommendation unit utilizes generation AI to predict trends based on user preferences and help users discover their own preferences. The generation AI analyzes the user's viewing history and rating data to identify videos that the user is likely to be interested in. For example, if a user shows interest in a particular trend, it recommends videos related to that trend. Furthermore, the video recommendation unit analyzes user behavior data in real time and updates its recommendations according to changes in the user's interests and preferences. For example, if a user shows interest in a new trend, it immediately recommends the latest videos related to that trend. The video recommendation unit also collects user feedback and continuously improves the accuracy of its recommendation algorithm. For example, if a user gives a high rating to a recommended video, it increases the frequency of recommending similar videos based on that rating. On the other hand, if a user gives a low rating, the frequency of recommendations for videos related to that trend will be reduced. This allows the video recommendation system to provide the most suitable videos according to the user's preferences, helping users discover new fashion items and styles. Furthermore, the video recommendation system provides a function for users to share recommended videos, promoting their spread on social media. This allows users to share their favorite fashion with others and helps to form a fashion community.

Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0115] In the smart glasses 214, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48.

[0137] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0138] 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.
[0139] 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.

[0141] The microphone 238 receives voice commands and other instructions from the user by receiving voice signals. 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.

Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.

[0144] 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.
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.).
[0150] 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.
[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).

[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 trend prediction unit, video generation unit, and video recommendation unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the trend prediction unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The video generation unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The video recommendation unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. 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.
