Also, in this specification, when expressing three or more matters connected by "and / or", the same concept as "A and / or B" is applied.
[0016] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.
[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, the RAM 30, and the storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. Also, the database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).
[0019] The smart device 14 includes a computer 36, a reception device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication I / F 44. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. Also, the reception device 38, the output device 40, and the camera 42 are connected to the bus 52.
[0020] The reception device 38 is equipped with a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and accepts user input. The touch panel 38A accepts user input via touch by detecting contact with an object (e.g., a pen or finger). The microphone 38B accepts user input via voice by detecting the user's voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and microphone 38B to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 (see Figure 2) acquires the data indicating the user input.
[0021] The output device 40 includes a display 40A and a speaker 40B, and presents data to the user by outputting the data in a form perceptible to the user (e.g., audio and / or text). The display 40A displays visible information such as text and images according to instructions from the processor 46. The speaker 40B outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46. The camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system such as a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor.
[0022] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.
[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used in conjunction with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. 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 operating as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart device 14 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) 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 having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). 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 training support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is an application equipped with a generative AI agent for health-conscious individuals to easily perform training at home. This training support system allows users to input their body type information and take photos of their bodies, after which the generative AI analyzes this information and proposes a personalized muscle training menu. Furthermore, the generative AI presents an ideal body type as a goal to increase user motivation. This application utilizes multimodal AI, enabling simultaneous processing of image and text information. This aims to realize a society where everyone can easily receive personalized training. For example, a user inputs their body type information and takes photos of their bodies. At this time, the user inputs information such as their weight, height, and body fat percentage. For example, a user inputs "weight 70kg, height 175cm, body fat percentage 20%" and takes a photo of their body. This information is input to the generative AI. Next, the generative AI analyzes the input information and proposes a personalized muscle training menu. The generative AI generates an optimal training menu based on the user's body type information and photos. For example, if a user wants to train their abdominal muscles, the generative AI proposes an effective abdominal training menu. This allows the user to perform training that suits them. Furthermore, the generating AI presents an ideal physique as a goal. The generating AI compares the user's current physique information with their target physique information and presents a goal to be achieved. For example, if a user's goal is "15% body fat," the generating AI will suggest a training menu to achieve that goal and monitor their progress. This app makes it easy for users to train at home. It also encourages exercise through push notifications and boosts motivation through interactive training consultations. This allows even those who are reluctant to go to the gym or who don't know how to train to train effectively. As a result, the training support system can suggest individual strength training menus based on the user's physique information and present an ideal physique as a goal.
[0029] The training support system according to the embodiment comprises a reception unit, a suggestion unit, and a goal presentation unit. The reception unit inputs the user's body type information. The user's body type information includes, but is not limited to, height, weight, and body fat percentage. For example, the user can input information such as their weight, height, and body fat percentage into the reception unit. The suggestion unit analyzes the information input by the reception unit and proposes an individualized muscle training menu. The suggestion unit generates an optimal training menu based on the user's body type information and a photograph, for example, using a generation AI. For example, if the user wants to train their abdominal muscles, the generation AI can propose a training menu that is effective for abdominal muscles. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit is performed using the generation AI. The goal presentation unit presents an ideal body type as a goal based on the muscle training menu proposed by the suggestion unit. For example, the goal presentation unit compares the user's current body type information with the target body type information using a generation AI and presents a goal to be achieved. The generating AI can, for example, suggest a training menu to achieve a target body fat percentage of 15% if the user sets that goal, and monitor the user's progress. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the goal presentation unit is performed using the generating AI. As a result, the training support system according to this embodiment can suggest an individualized muscle training menu based on the user's body shape information and present an ideal body shape as a target.
[0030] The reception desk inputs the user's body type information. This information includes, but is not limited to, height, weight, and body fat percentage. For example, the reception desk allows users to input their own weight, height, and body fat percentage. Specifically, the reception desk provides an interface for users to input body type information using a dedicated application or website via a device such as a smartphone, tablet, or PC. Users can input detailed information such as height, weight, body fat percentage, age, gender, and exercise experience according to the input form. Furthermore, the reception desk has a function to automatically save the information entered by the user and store it in a database for later reference. This eliminates the need for users to re-enter information they have already entered. The reception desk also has a check function to verify the accuracy of the information entered by the user. For example, if the height or weight range is abnormally outside the normal range, it can display a message prompting the user to reconfirm. This allows the reception desk to collect user body type information accurately and efficiently, improving the overall reliability of the system.
[0031] The suggestion department analyzes the information entered by the reception department and proposes individualized muscle training menus. For example, the suggestion department uses a generative AI to generate an optimal training menu based on the user's body type information and photos. If the user wants to train their abdominal muscles, the generative AI can propose an effective abdominal training menu. Specifically, the generative AI receives the user's body type information as input data and generates an optimal training menu based on past training data and expert knowledge. The generative AI uses deep learning technology to automatically customize the training menu according to the user's body type and goals. For example, if the user wants to train their abdominal muscles, the generative AI will propose a menu that combines exercises effective for the abdominal muscles, such as crunches, planks, and leg raises. The generative AI can also adjust the intensity and number of repetitions of the training according to the user's exercise experience and fitness level. Furthermore, the suggestion department has an interface to provide the user with the training menu proposed by the generative AI. The user can check and execute the proposed training menu via their smartphone or tablet. This allows the suggestion department to propose personalized muscle training menus based on the user's body type information, providing support to help users train effectively.
[0032] The goal-setting unit presents an ideal physique as a target based on the strength training menu proposed by the suggestion unit. For example, using a generating AI, the goal-setting unit compares the user's current physique information with their target physique information and presents a goal to be achieved. For instance, if a user aims for a "body fat percentage of 15%", the generating AI can propose a training menu to achieve that goal and monitor progress. Specifically, based on the user's current physique information, the generating AI presents concrete steps to reach the target physique. For example, if a user wants to reduce their body fat percentage, the generating AI will propose specific action plans, such as improving diet or adding aerobic exercise. The goal-setting unit also has a function to provide regular feedback so that users can check their progress towards their goals. Users can check their progress and maintain motivation towards their goals via their smartphones or tablets. Furthermore, the goal-setting unit also provides support for setting the next goal once the user has achieved their previous goal. In this way, the goal-setting unit can provide motivation for users to continue training towards their ideal physique, supporting the improvement of their health and fitness.
[0033] The notification unit can encourage exercise through push notifications. For example, the notification unit can send push notifications during the time when the user is likely to exercise, thereby encouraging exercise. This allows the system to encourage users to exercise through push notifications.
[0034] The consultation department can conduct training consultations in a conversational format. For example, the consultation department can use a chatbot to conduct training consultations with users in a conversational format. For example, the consultation department can use voice chat to conduct training consultations with users in a conversational format. For example, the consultation department can use video calls to conduct training consultations with users in a conversational format. This allows for increased user motivation through conversational training consultations.
[0035] The suggestion function can generate an optimal training menu based on the user's body shape information and photos. For example, the suggestion function uses a generation AI to generate an optimal training menu based on the user's body shape information and photos. For example, if the user wants to train their abdominal muscles, the generation AI can suggest an effective training menu for the abdominal muscles. For example, if the user wants to train their arm muscles, the generation AI can suggest an effective training menu for the arm muscles. For example, if the user wants to train their leg muscles, the generation AI can suggest an effective training menu for the leg muscles. In this way, an optimal training menu can be generated based on the user's body shape information and photos.
[0036] The goal-setting unit can compare the user's current body shape information with their target body shape information and present goals to be achieved. For example, the goal-setting unit uses a generation AI to compare the user's current body shape information with their target body shape information and present goals to be achieved. For example, if the user's goal is "15% body fat," the generation AI can suggest a training menu to achieve that goal and monitor the user's progress. For example, if the user's goal is "to increase muscle mass," the generation AI can suggest a training menu to achieve that goal and monitor the user's progress. For example, if the user's goal is "to lose weight," the generation AI can suggest a training menu to achieve that goal and monitor the user's progress. This allows the system to compare the user's current body shape information with their target body shape information and present goals to be achieved.
[0037] The reception desk can analyze the user's past body shape information input history and select the optimal input method. For example, the reception desk may prioritize suggesting input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has frequently used in the past. For example, the reception desk may analyze the time periods in which the user has previously entered information and suggest the optimal input timing. For example, the reception desk may predict and suggest an input method to be used at a specific time period based on the user's past input history. In this way, the optimal input method can be selected by analyzing the user's past body shape information input history. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI or not.
[0038] The reception unit can filter the input of body shape information based on the user's current health status and lifestyle. For example, the reception unit adjusts input fields based on the user's current health status (weight, body fat percentage, etc.). For example, the reception unit adjusts input fields based on the user's lifestyle (diet, exercise, etc.). For example, the reception unit determines the priority of input fields based on the user's health status and lifestyle. This allows for the input of more appropriate information by filtering based on the user's current health status and lifestyle. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI or not.
[0039] The reception desk can prioritize inputting highly relevant information based on the user's geographical location when entering body type information. For example, if the user is at a gym, the reception desk will prioritize inputting body type information related to gym training. For example, if the user is at home, the reception desk will prioritize inputting body type information related to home training. For example, if the user is out, the reception desk will prioritize inputting body type information related to training at their destination. By prioritizing the input of highly relevant information based on the user's geographical location, more appropriate information can be entered. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, or it may be performed without using AI.
[0040] The reception desk can analyze the user's social media activity and input relevant information when the user enters body type information. For example, the reception desk may prompt the user to enter body type information based on training information shared on social media. For example, the reception desk may prompt the user to enter body type information based on information from training accounts followed on social media. For example, the reception desk may prompt the user to enter body type information based on information from training communities the user participates in on social media. This allows the reception desk to input relevant information by analyzing the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI or not.
[0041] The proposal unit can adjust the level of detail in its proposals based on the importance of the training menus. For example, the proposal unit's generating AI will produce proposals with detailed explanations for important training menus. For example, the proposal unit's generating AI will produce proposals with concise explanations for less important training menus. The proposal unit can adjust the level of detail in its proposals in stages according to the importance of the training menus. This allows for more appropriate proposals to be made by adjusting the level of detail in the proposals based on the importance of the training menus. Some or all of the above processing in the proposal unit may be performed using the generating AI, or it may be performed without using the generating AI.
[0042] The suggestion unit can apply different suggestion algorithms depending on the category of the training menu when making suggestions. For example, for strength training menus, the suggestion unit's generating AI applies a suggestion algorithm specialized in improving strength. For example, for aerobic exercise menus, the suggestion unit's generating AI applies a suggestion algorithm specialized in improving endurance. For example, for flexibility improvement menus, the suggestion unit's generating AI applies a suggestion algorithm specialized in improving flexibility. By applying different suggestion algorithms depending on the category of the training menu, more appropriate suggestions can be made. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using the generating AI, or it may be performed without using the generating AI.
[0043] The proposal department can determine the priority of proposals based on the submission timing of the training menus. For example, the proposal department can have the AI generate proposals preferentially for training menus with earlier submission dates, and postpone proposals for training menus with later submission dates. The proposal department can adjust the priority of proposals in stages according to the submission dates. This allows for more appropriate proposals to be made by determining the priority of proposals based on the submission dates of the training menus. Some or all of the above processing in the proposal department may be performed using the AI, or it may be performed without the AI.
[0044] The proposal unit can adjust the order of proposals based on the relevance of the training menus. For example, the proposal unit's generating AI will prioritize proposals for highly relevant training menus. For example, the proposal unit's generating AI will postpone proposals for less relevant training menus. The proposal unit can adjust the order of proposals in stages according to the relevance of the training menus. By adjusting the order of proposals based on the relevance of the training menus, more appropriate proposals can be made. Some or all of the above processing in the proposal unit may be performed using the generating AI, or it may be performed without using the generating AI.
[0045] The goal presentation unit can predict the current goal by referring to past goal data when presenting a goal. For example, the goal presentation unit predicts the current goal based on the user's past goal data. For example, the goal presentation unit predicts the current goal by analyzing the user's past goal achievement status. For example, the goal presentation unit presents the optimal goal by referring to the user's past goal data. In this way, the current goal can be predicted by referring to past goal data. Some or all of the above processing in the goal presentation unit may be performed using generative AI, or it may be performed without using generative AI.
[0046] The goal presentation unit can apply different goal presentation methods to each category of training menu when presenting goals. For example, for strength training menus, the goal presentation unit's generating AI applies a goal presentation method specialized for improving strength. For example, for aerobic exercise menus, the goal presentation unit's generating AI applies a goal presentation method specialized for improving endurance. For example, for flexibility improvement menus, the goal presentation unit's generating AI applies a goal presentation method specialized for improving flexibility. By applying different goal presentation methods to each category of training menus, more appropriate goals can be presented. Some or all of the above processing in the goal presentation unit may be performed using the generating AI, or it may be performed without using the generating AI.
[0047] The goal presentation unit can analyze changes in goals based on the submission timing of training menus when presenting goals. For example, the goal presentation unit prioritizes analyzing goal changes for training menus submitted earlier. For example, the goal presentation unit postpones analyzing goal changes for training menus submitted later. For example, the goal presentation unit analyzes goal changes in stages according to the submission timing. This allows for the presentation of more appropriate goals by analyzing goal changes based on the submission timing of training menus. Some or all of the above processing in the goal presentation unit may be performed using generative AI, or it may be performed without using generative AI.
[0048] The goal presentation unit can analyze goals by referring to relevant market data for the training menu when presenting goals. For example, the goal presentation unit analyzes goals based on relevant market data for the training menu. For example, the goal presentation unit analyzes goals by referring to market trends for the training menu. For example, the goal presentation unit presents optimal goals by referring to relevant market data for the training menu. This makes it possible to present more appropriate goals by referring to relevant market data for the training menu. Some or all of the above processing in the goal presentation unit may be performed using generative AI, or it may be performed without using generative AI.
[0049] The notification unit can select the optimal notification method by referring to the user's past notification history when sending a notification. For example, the notification unit may prioritize suggesting notification methods that the user has previously preferred to receive (e.g., push notifications, email). For example, the notification unit may predict and suggest a notification method to send at a specific time based on the user's past notification history. For example, the notification unit may analyze the user's past notification history and select the most effective notification method. In this way, the optimal notification method can be selected by referring to the user's past notification history. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using AI or not.
[0050] The notification unit can select the optimal notification method by considering the user's device information when sending a notification. For example, if the user is using a smartphone, the notification unit will prioritize sending push notifications. For example, if the user is using a tablet, the notification unit will prioritize sending email notifications. For example, if the user is using a smartwatch, the notification unit will prioritize sending vibration notifications. In this way, the optimal notification method can be selected by considering the user's device information. Some or all of the above processing in the notification unit may be performed using AI or not.
[0051] The consultation department can select the most suitable consultation method by referring to the user's past consultation history during a consultation. For example, the consultation department may prioritize suggesting consultation methods that the user has preferred in the past (chat, voice, etc.). For example, the consultation department may predict and suggest consultation methods to be used at a specific time based on the user's past consultation history. For example, the consultation department may analyze the user's past consultation history and select the most effective consultation method. In this way, the optimal consultation method can be selected by referring to the user's past consultation history. Some or all of the above processes in the consultation department may be performed using AI or not.
[0052] The consultation department can select the most suitable consultation method by considering the user's device information during a consultation. For example, if the user is using a smartphone, the consultation department will prioritize chat consultations. For example, if the user is using a tablet, the consultation department will prioritize video consultations. For example, if the user is using a smartwatch, the consultation department will prioritize voice consultations. In this way, the consultation department can select the most suitable consultation method by considering the user's device information. Some or all of the above processing in the consultation department may be performed using AI or not.
[0053] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0054] The training support system can also suggest dietary management based on the user's body type information. The suggestion unit can propose appropriate meal plans based on the user's body type information and goals. For example, if the user wants to increase muscle mass, it can suggest a meal plan high in protein. If the user wants to reduce body fat, it can suggest a low-calorie, nutritionally balanced meal plan. Furthermore, if the user has a specific allergy, it can suggest a meal plan that accommodates that allergy. This allows users to aim for a healthy physique through both training and diet.
[0055] The training support system can also suggest sleep management based on the user's body type information. The suggestion section can propose an appropriate sleep schedule based on the user's body type and goals. For example, if a user wants to increase muscle mass, it can suggest a schedule to ensure sufficient sleep. If a user wants to reduce body fat, it can provide advice on getting quality sleep. Furthermore, if a user has an irregular lifestyle, it can suggest a regular sleep schedule. This allows users to aim for a healthy physique through both training and sleep.
[0056] The training support system can also offer stress management suggestions based on the user's body type information. The suggestion function can propose appropriate stress relief methods based on the user's body type and goals. For example, if a user wants to increase muscle mass, it can suggest relaxing yoga or meditation routines. If a user wants to reduce body fat, it can suggest stress-reducing activities. Furthermore, if a user is experiencing stress at work or in their daily life, it can offer counseling and support for stress management. This allows users to aim for a healthy physique through both training and stress management.
[0057] The training support system can also suggest supplements to maximize the effects of exercise based on the user's body type information. The suggestion unit can recommend appropriate supplements based on the user's body type and goals. For example, if the user wants to increase muscle mass, it can suggest supplements such as protein and BCAAs. If the user wants to reduce body fat, it can suggest supplements that aid in fat burning. Furthermore, if the user feels low on energy, it can suggest supplements for energy replenishment. This allows users to aim for a healthy physique through both training and supplements.
[0058] The training support system can provide a function to visualize training progress based on the user's body type information. The goal presentation unit can collect the user's training data and visualize progress using graphs and charts. For example, if the user wants to increase muscle mass, a graph showing the increase in muscle mass can be displayed. Similarly, if the user wants to reduce body fat, a chart showing the decrease in body fat percentage can be displayed. Furthermore, if the user achieves a specific training goal, the achievement status can be visually displayed. This allows the user to check their training progress at a glance and maintain their motivation.
[0059] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0060] Step 1: The reception desk enters the user's body type information. This information includes, for example, height, weight, and body fat percentage. Users can enter their own weight, height, body fat percentage, and other information. Step 2: The suggestion department analyzes the information entered by the reception department and proposes a personalized muscle training menu. The suggestion department uses a generation AI to generate the optimal training menu based on the user's body type information and photos. For example, if the user wants to train their abdominal muscles, the suggestion department can propose an effective abdominal training menu. Step 3: The goal presentation unit presents an ideal physique as a target based on the muscle training menu proposed by the suggestion unit. The goal presentation unit uses a generating AI to compare the user's current physique information with the target physique information and presents a goal to be achieved. For example, if the user's goal is "15% body fat," the unit can propose a training menu to achieve that goal and monitor the user's progress.
[0061] (Example of form 2) The training support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is an application equipped with a generative AI agent for health-conscious individuals to easily perform training at home. This training support system allows users to input their body type information and take photos of their bodies, after which the generative AI analyzes this information and proposes a personalized muscle training menu. Furthermore, the generative AI presents an ideal body type as a goal to increase user motivation. This application utilizes multimodal AI, enabling simultaneous processing of image and text information. This aims to realize a society where everyone can easily receive personalized training. For example, a user inputs their body type information and takes photos of their bodies. At this time, the user inputs information such as their weight, height, and body fat percentage. For example, a user inputs "weight 70kg, height 175cm, body fat percentage 20%" and takes a photo of their body. This information is input to the generative AI. Next, the generative AI analyzes the input information and proposes a personalized muscle training menu. The generative AI generates an optimal training menu based on the user's body type information and photos. For example, if a user wants to train their abdominal muscles, the generative AI proposes an effective abdominal training menu. This allows the user to perform training that suits them. Furthermore, the generating AI presents an ideal physique as a goal. The generating AI compares the user's current physique information with their target physique information and presents a goal to be achieved. For example, if a user's goal is "15% body fat," the generating AI will suggest a training menu to achieve that goal and monitor their progress. This app makes it easy for users to train at home. It also encourages exercise through push notifications and boosts motivation through interactive training consultations. This allows even those who are reluctant to go to the gym or who don't know how to train to train effectively. As a result, the training support system can suggest individual strength training menus based on the user's physique information and present an ideal physique as a goal.
[0062] The training support system according to the embodiment comprises a reception unit, a suggestion unit, and a goal presentation unit. The reception unit inputs the user's body type information. The user's body type information includes, but is not limited to, height, weight, and body fat percentage. For example, the user can input information such as their weight, height, and body fat percentage into the reception unit. The suggestion unit analyzes the information input by the reception unit and proposes an individualized muscle training menu. The suggestion unit generates an optimal training menu based on the user's body type information and a photograph, for example, using a generation AI. For example, if the user wants to train their abdominal muscles, the generation AI can propose a training menu that is effective for abdominal muscles. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit is performed using the generation AI. The goal presentation unit presents an ideal body type as a goal based on the muscle training menu proposed by the suggestion unit. For example, the goal presentation unit compares the user's current body type information with the target body type information using a generation AI and presents a goal to be achieved. The generating AI can, for example, suggest a training menu to achieve a target body fat percentage of 15% if the user sets that goal, and monitor the user's progress. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the goal presentation unit is performed using the generating AI. As a result, the training support system according to this embodiment can suggest an individualized muscle training menu based on the user's body shape information and present an ideal body shape as a target.
[0063] The reception desk inputs the user's body type information. This information includes, but is not limited to, height, weight, and body fat percentage. For example, the reception desk allows users to input their own weight, height, and body fat percentage. Specifically, the reception desk provides an interface for users to input body type information using a dedicated application or website via a device such as a smartphone, tablet, or PC. Users can input detailed information such as height, weight, body fat percentage, age, gender, and exercise experience according to the input form. Furthermore, the reception desk has a function to automatically save the information entered by the user and store it in a database for later reference. This eliminates the need for users to re-enter information they have already entered. The reception desk also has a check function to verify the accuracy of the information entered by the user. For example, if the height or weight range is abnormally outside the normal range, it can display a message prompting the user to reconfirm. This allows the reception desk to collect user body type information accurately and efficiently, improving the overall reliability of the system.
[0064] The suggestion department analyzes the information entered by the reception department and proposes individualized muscle training menus. For example, the suggestion department uses a generative AI to generate an optimal training menu based on the user's body type information and photos. If the user wants to train their abdominal muscles, the generative AI can propose an effective abdominal training menu. Specifically, the generative AI receives the user's body type information as input data and generates an optimal training menu based on past training data and expert knowledge. The generative AI uses deep learning technology to automatically customize the training menu according to the user's body type and goals. For example, if the user wants to train their abdominal muscles, the generative AI will propose a menu that combines exercises effective for the abdominal muscles, such as crunches, planks, and leg raises. The generative AI can also adjust the intensity and number of repetitions of the training according to the user's exercise experience and fitness level. Furthermore, the suggestion department has an interface to provide the user with the training menu proposed by the generative AI. The user can check and execute the proposed training menu via their smartphone or tablet. This allows the suggestion department to propose personalized muscle training menus based on the user's body type information, providing support to help users train effectively.
[0065] The goal-setting unit presents an ideal physique as a target based on the strength training menu proposed by the suggestion unit. For example, using a generating AI, the goal-setting unit compares the user's current physique information with their target physique information and presents a goal to be achieved. For instance, if a user aims for a "body fat percentage of 15%", the generating AI can propose a training menu to achieve that goal and monitor progress. Specifically, based on the user's current physique information, the generating AI presents concrete steps to reach the target physique. For example, if a user wants to reduce their body fat percentage, the generating AI will propose specific action plans, such as improving diet or adding aerobic exercise. The goal-setting unit also has a function to provide regular feedback so that users can check their progress towards their goals. Users can check their progress and maintain motivation towards their goals via their smartphones or tablets. Furthermore, the goal-setting unit also provides support for setting the next goal once the user has achieved their previous goal. In this way, the goal-setting unit can provide motivation for users to continue training towards their ideal physique, supporting the improvement of their health and fitness.
[0066] The notification unit can encourage exercise through push notifications. For example, the notification unit can send push notifications during the time when the user is likely to exercise, thereby encouraging exercise. This allows the system to encourage users to exercise through push notifications.
[0067] The consultation department can conduct training consultations in a conversational format. For example, the consultation department can use a chatbot to conduct training consultations with users in a conversational format. For example, the consultation department can use voice chat to conduct training consultations with users in a conversational format. For example, the consultation department can use video calls to conduct training consultations with users in a conversational format. This allows for increased user motivation through conversational training consultations.
[0068] The suggestion function can generate an optimal training menu based on the user's body shape information and photos. For example, the suggestion function uses a generation AI to generate an optimal training menu based on the user's body shape information and photos. For example, if the user wants to train their abdominal muscles, the generation AI can suggest an effective training menu for the abdominal muscles. For example, if the user wants to train their arm muscles, the generation AI can suggest an effective training menu for the arm muscles. For example, if the user wants to train their leg muscles, the generation AI can suggest an effective training menu for the leg muscles. In this way, an optimal training menu can be generated based on the user's body shape information and photos.
[0069] The goal-setting unit can compare the user's current body shape information with their target body shape information and present goals to be achieved. For example, the goal-setting unit uses a generation AI to compare the user's current body shape information with their target body shape information and present goals to be achieved. For example, if the user's goal is "15% body fat," the generation AI can suggest a training menu to achieve that goal and monitor the user's progress. For example, if the user's goal is "to increase muscle mass," the generation AI can suggest a training menu to achieve that goal and monitor the user's progress. For example, if the user's goal is "to lose weight," the generation AI can suggest a training menu to achieve that goal and monitor the user's progress. This allows the system to compare the user's current body shape information with their target body shape information and present goals to be achieved.
[0070] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of body shape information input based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the reception unit sends a notification prompting them to input body shape information during a time when they can relax. For example, if the user is relaxed, the reception unit sends a notification prompting them to input body shape information immediately. For example, if the user is busy, the reception unit sends a notification prompting them to input body shape information during a time when they have free time. By adjusting the timing of body shape information input based on the user's emotions, information can be entered at a more appropriate time. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI.

For example, the reception desk may predict and suggest an input method to be used at a specific time period based on the user's past input history. In this way, the optimal input method can be selected by analyzing the user's past body shape information input history. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI or not.
[0072] The reception unit can filter the input of body shape information based on the user's current health status and lifestyle. For example, the reception unit adjusts input fields based on the user's current health status (weight, body fat percentage, etc.). For example, the reception unit adjusts input fields based on the user's lifestyle (diet, exercise, etc.). For example, the reception unit determines the priority of input fields based on the user's health status and lifestyle. This allows for the input of more appropriate information by filtering based on the user's current health status and lifestyle. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI or not.
[0073] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of body type information to be entered based on the estimated emotions.

For example, if the user is feeling anxious about training, it can suggest simple and effective training methods. If the user is relaxed, it can provide detailed advice. Furthermore, if the user is excited, it can provide advice to boost their motivation. This maximizes the effectiveness of training by providing advice tailored to the user's emotions.
[0107] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0108] Step 1: The reception desk enters the user's body type information. This information includes, for example, height, weight, and body fat percentage. Users can enter their own weight, height, body fat percentage, and other information. Step 2: The suggestion department analyzes the information entered by the reception department and proposes a personalized muscle training menu. The suggestion department uses a generation AI to generate the optimal training menu based on the user's body type information and photos. For example, if the user wants to train their abdominal muscles, the suggestion department can propose an effective abdominal training menu. Step 3: The goal presentation unit presents an ideal physique as a target based on the muscle training menu proposed by the suggestion unit. The goal presentation unit uses a generating AI to compare the user's current physique information with the target physique information and presents a goal to be achieved. For example, if the user's goal is "15% body fat," the unit can propose a training menu to achieve that goal and monitor the user's progress.

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.
[0161] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, proposal unit, goal presentation unit, notification unit, and consultation unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and inputs the user's body shape information. The proposal unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and generates an optimal training menu based on the user's body shape information and photographs. The goal presentation unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and presents an ideal body shape as a goal. The notification unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and prompts exercise through push notifications. The consultation unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and allows for training consultation in an interactive format. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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."
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
