[0028] (Example of form 1) The health management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that supports health management simply by taking and posting photos of daily stool. This health management system analyzes images of stool and visualizes the user's health status. For example, it analyzes the shape, color, and texture of the stool to determine whether it is healthy or unhealthy. Furthermore, points are awarded for continuously posting images of stool, encouraging users to make posting a habit. The health management system analyzes the stool data posted daily and provides easy-to-understand health reports and advice. For example, it provides advice on improving diet and lifestyle habits based on the condition of the stool. In addition, the stool data is linked with medical institutions, eliminating the need for stool tests during health checkups. This makes it easier to understand daily physical condition and proposes a new style of health management that prevents lifestyle-related diseases and digestive system problems. For example, when a user takes a photo of their stool and posts it to the health management system, the system analyzes the shape, color, and texture of the stool and determines the user's health status. For example, if the stool is hard and small, it may indicate constipation, and the health management system will advise increasing fiber intake. If the stool is soft and watery, it may indicate diarrhea, and the health management system will advise staying hydrated and eating easily digestible foods. Furthermore, users are awarded points for continuously posting images of their stool. For example, posting an image of their stool every day earns them 10 points per day, accumulating 70 points in a week. This encourages users to develop the habit of posting images of their stool, making it easier to maintain consistent health management. The health management system also links stool data with medical institutions. For example, when a user visits an internal medicine or gastroenterology clinic, the health management system provides the doctor with the stool data it has analyzed. This makes it easier for doctors to understand the user's stool condition, eliminating the need for stool tests during health checkups. This reduces the psychological burden on users during health checkups. In this way, the health management system supports daily health management by analyzing stool images using generation AI and visualizing health status. Furthermore, by awarding points and linking data with medical institutions, it promotes the habit of posting images of stool and proposes a new health management style that prevents lifestyle-related diseases and digestive system problems. In this way, the health management system can understand the daily state of stool and support health management.

[0029] The health management system according to this embodiment comprises a posting unit, an analysis unit, a provision unit, an assignment unit, and a linking unit. The posting unit takes and posts images of stool. The posting unit can, for example, take images of stool using a smartphone camera and post them through a dedicated app. The posting unit also has a function to adjust the shooting angle, resolution, and lighting conditions when taking images of stool. For example, the posting unit automatically sets an appropriate shooting angle and resolution when taking images of stool. The posting unit also has a function to adjust the lighting conditions when taking images of stool. For example, the posting unit automatically sets appropriate lighting conditions when taking images of stool. The analysis unit analyzes the images of stool posted by the posting unit and visualizes the health status. The analysis unit, for example, uses a generation AI to analyze the shape, color, and texture of the stool and makes a determination of whether it is healthy stool or unhealthy stool. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the shape of the stool and makes a determination of whether it is hard stool, soft stool, diarrheal stool, etc. The analysis unit also analyzes the color of the stool and makes a determination of whether it is a normal color or an unhealthy color. Furthermore, the analysis unit analyzes the texture of the stool and determines whether it has a normal or unhealthy texture. The provision unit provides users with health reports and advice based on the health status analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the provision unit may advise on areas for improvement in diet and lifestyle based on the condition of the stool. For example, if the stool is hard and small, the provision unit may advise increasing fiber intake. Also, if the stool is soft and watery, the provision unit may advise staying hydrated and eating easily digestible foods. In addition, the provision unit can also advise on areas for improvement in exercise and sleep based on the condition of the stool. For example, the provision unit may provide advice on appropriate exercise and sleep based on the condition of the stool. The awarding unit awards points for continuous posting of stool images submitted by the posting unit. For example, the awarding unit may award 10 points per day for posting a stool image every day. The awarding unit may also award bonus points if certain conditions are met. For example, the awarding unit may award bonus points for posting a stool image for one week consecutively. Furthermore, the points system can also award points for participating in specific events or campaigns. For example, the points system awards points for participating in specific events or campaigns.The collaboration unit connects the stool data analyzed by the analysis unit with medical institutions. The collaboration unit automatically transmits the stool data to medical institutions, for example.

As a result, the health management system according to this embodiment can support daily health management by analyzing stool images and visualizing health status.

[0030] The posting section allows users to take and submit images of their stool. For example, users can take images using their smartphone camera and submit them through a dedicated app. Specifically, the app automatically sets the optimal shooting angle and resolution when the user takes an image. For instance, the app recognizes the shape and location of the stool and suggests the best shooting angle. The resolution is also automatically adjusted to ensure that details of the stool are clearly visible. Furthermore, the app senses ambient light and uses the flash as needed to provide appropriate lighting conditions. This allows users to easily take and submit high-quality images of their stool. Submitted images are securely stored on a dedicated cloud server and accessible to the analysis section. The posting section also prioritizes user privacy when taking images; image data is encrypted before transmission. It also includes a function to review submitted images and retake them if necessary. This allows users to submit images of their stool with peace of mind. Additionally, the posting section provides voice guidance and tutorials to simplify the process of submitting images. This ensures that even first-time users can operate the system without difficulty.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes images of stool submitted by the posting unit to visualize the user's health status. The analysis uses a generation AI to analyze the shape, color, and texture of the stool, determining whether it is healthy or unhealthy. Specifically, to analyze the shape of the stool, the generation AI uses image recognition technology to extract the stool's outline and classify its shape. For example, it identifies shapes such as hard stool, soft stool, and diarrhea. Furthermore, to analyze the color of the stool, it analyzes the hue, saturation, and brightness of the image to determine whether the color is normal or abnormal. For example, healthy stool is brown, but abnormal stool may contain black, red, or green. Additionally, to analyze the texture of the stool, it performs texture analysis on the image to evaluate the roughness and smoothness of the stool's surface. This allows for the determination of normal or abnormal texture. The analysis unit integrates these analysis results to comprehensively evaluate the user's health status. For example, if the stool is hard, black in color, and has a rough texture, it may indicate constipation or indigestion. The analysis results are provided to the user in a visually easy-to-understand format, allowing them to grasp changes in their health status at a glance. Furthermore, the analysis unit analyzes health trends by comparing them with past stool data, supporting long-term health management.

[0032] The service provider provides users with health reports and advice based on their health status analyzed by the analysis unit. Specifically, it advises improvements to diet and lifestyle habits based on the condition of the stool. For example, if the stool is hard and small, it advises increasing fiber intake. If the stool is soft and watery, it advises staying hydrated and eating easily digestible foods. The service provider generates a personalized health report based on the user's stool condition. This report includes detailed analysis results of the stool's shape, color, and texture, and provides specific advice based on these findings. For example, if the stool is hard, it will provide a list of foods high in fiber and exercise methods effective for relieving constipation. If the stool color is abnormal, it will provide information on possible dietary and lifestyle habits that may be causing it. Furthermore, the service provider proposes a specific action plan to improve the user's health. For example, it encourages improvement by recording daily meals and exercise levels. The service provider also has a function to send regular reminders to help users continue managing their health. This allows users to efficiently manage their daily health.

Bonus points can also be awarded if certain conditions are met. For example, bonus points may be awarded for posting stool images for one week consecutively. The points department has introduced a point system to increase users' motivation to continue managing their health. Users can use the points they earn to exchange for health-related products and services. For example, they can use points to purchase health foods, supplements, or fitness gym memberships. They can also earn additional points by participating in specific events and campaigns. For example, they can earn bonus points by participating in health management quizzes or posting stool images during a specific period. Furthermore, the points department manages the history of points earned by users and makes it available for users to check at any time. This allows users to track their progress in health management and maintain continuous motivation.

[0034] The Collaboration Unit connects stool data analyzed by the Analysis Unit with medical institutions. Specifically, it automatically transmits stool data to medical institutions. For example, it automatically sets the timing and method of transmitting stool data to medical institutions. The Collaboration Unit transmits stool data to medical institutions only after obtaining the user's consent. This allows doctors to check the user's stool data in real time and make necessary diagnoses and treatments. The Collaboration Unit provides a dedicated app and web interface for doctors to view the stool data. This allows doctors to easily check the stool data and understand the user's health status. In addition, the Collaboration Unit standardizes the data transmission method and format to facilitate smooth collaboration with medical institutions. This makes it easier to share data between different medical institutions, making user health management more efficient.

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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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."

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
