[0028] (Example of form 1) The tanning plan provision system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that provides personalized tanning plans using generative AI. This tanning plan provision system was developed to solve the problem that conventional tanning methods are not personalized and carry the risk of skin problems. It also solves the problem that it is difficult to plan a tan according to the weather and location, and that there is a lack of information to efficiently and safely obtain the desired skin tone. This system first analyzes the user's skin image using a skin analysis app and obtains weather data. Next, the generative AI analyzes this data and proposes a custom tanning plan to the user. The user selects a color sample, and the generative AI considers the intensity of sunlight, time, and angle to indicate the necessary tanning time. Furthermore, it provides a function to monitor the tanning time in real time via a smartphone and notify the user when it is finished. Adjustments are also made based on daily weather fluctuations. For example, the tanning plan provision system uses a skin analysis app to analyze the user's skin image. For example, the user uploads a skin image they have taken to the app, and the app analyzes the image and evaluates the condition of the skin. It also uses a weather data acquisition API to obtain weather data. For example, it obtains current weather data based on the user's location information. The AI analyzes this data and proposes the optimal tanning plan for the user. For example, based on the color swatch selected by the user, it suggests tanning time and sunscreen application methods. Furthermore, the tanning plan system provides a function to monitor tanning time in real time via smartphone and notify the user when it is finished. For example, once the user starts tanning, the system counts down the tanning time and notifies the user when it is finished. This allows the user to enjoy a safe and personalized tanning experience, preventing excessive tanning and achieving the ideal skin tone. In addition, the AI automatically creates the optimal plan according to the weather and location, saving the user time and effort. The real-time notification function allows the user to enjoy the tanning process with peace of mind. In summary, the tanning plan system provides a tanning plan tailored to the user's skin, and by monitoring and notifying in real time, it enables safe and efficient tanning.
[0029] The tanning plan provision system according to the embodiment comprises a skin analysis unit, a weather data acquisition unit, a generation unit, a monitoring unit, and a notification unit. The skin analysis unit analyzes an image of the user's skin. For example, the skin analysis unit analyzes an image of the user's skin and evaluates the condition of the skin. The skin analysis unit performs the analysis considering, for example, the resolution of the skin, shooting conditions, image format, etc. The weather data acquisition unit acquires weather data. For example, the weather data acquisition unit acquires weather data based on the user's location information. For example, the weather data acquisition unit acquires weather data such as temperature, humidity, and ultraviolet index. The generation unit generates a custom tanning plan based on the data obtained by the skin analysis unit and the weather data acquisition unit. For example, the generation unit generates a custom tanning plan based on a color sample selected by the user. For example, the generation unit proposes tanning time, sunscreen usage method, etc. The monitoring unit monitors the tanning time in real time based on the tanning plan generated by the generation unit. For example, the monitoring unit counts down the tanning time and provides notification when it is finished. The monitoring unit performs monitoring, taking into consideration factors such as the frequency of monitoring and the sensors used. The notification unit provides notification when the tanning time monitored by the monitoring unit ends. The notification unit provides notification by means such as email or app notification. The notification unit provides notification considering factors such as the details of the notification content. As a result, the tanning plan provision system according to the embodiment can provide a tanning plan that suits the user's skin, and by performing real-time monitoring and notification, it can achieve safe and efficient tanning.
[0030] The Skin Analysis Department analyzes images of the user's skin. Specifically, users upload images of their skin taken with their smartphones or digital cameras, and the department analyzes these images. The Skin Analysis Department performs the analysis considering factors such as image resolution, shooting conditions, and image format. For example, the higher the resolution of the skin image, the more detailed the analysis, and the more appropriate the shooting conditions, the more accurate the evaluation. The Skin Analysis Department uses AI to perform image analysis and evaluate skin tone, blemishes, wrinkles, and pore condition. Based on a large amount of pre-trained skin image data, the AI analyzes the user's skin condition with high accuracy. For example, by analyzing skin tone, it identifies the user's skin type and detects the presence or absence of blemishes and wrinkles. It also evaluates the health of the skin by analyzing the condition of the pores. As a result, the Skin Analysis Department can gain a detailed understanding of the user's skin condition and provide the data necessary to generate a custom tanning plan. Furthermore, the Skin Analysis Department can also provide feedback on the analysis results to the user and offer skincare advice tailored to their skin condition. For example, it can advise users with dry skin on moisturizing care and users with many blemishes on whitening care. This allows the skin analysis unit to comprehensively evaluate the user's skin condition and suggest appropriate care methods.
[0031] The weather data acquisition unit acquires weather data. Specifically, it acquires current and predicted weather data based on the user's location information. The weather data acquisition unit acquires data in real time from weather data provision services and collects detailed weather information such as temperature, humidity, UV index, and wind speed. For example, if the user is at a beach, the weather data acquisition unit acquires the UV index for that area and assesses the risk of sunburn. In addition, by acquiring temperature and humidity data, it can predict the rate of sunburn progression and its impact on the skin. The weather data acquisition unit regularly updates this data to provide the latest weather information. Furthermore, the weather data acquisition unit can also accumulate historical weather data and analyze long-term weather patterns. This allows it to predict the risk of sunburn in specific seasons and regions and provide appropriate advice to the user. For example, based on historical data, it can predict fluctuations in the UV index in a specific region and suggest the optimal timing for sunburn to the user. As a result, the weather data acquisition unit can provide accurate weather data based on the user's location information and provide the information necessary to generate a custom sunburn plan.
[0032] The generation unit generates a custom tanning plan based on data obtained from the skin analysis unit and the weather data acquisition unit. Specifically, it creates an optimal tanning plan considering the user's skin condition and current weather conditions. The generation unit uses AI to automatically generate a plan tailored to the user's skin type and tanning goals. For example, for users with sensitive skin, it recommends short tanning sessions and provides detailed instructions on how and how often to use sunscreen. It also suggests specific tanning times and methods to achieve the target skin tone based on the color swatch selected by the user. The generation unit provides a detailed plan including tanning time, sunscreen usage, and after-tanning care. Furthermore, the generation unit considers information such as the UV index and temperature obtained from the weather data acquisition unit to provide advice to minimize the risk of sunburn. For example, on days with a high UV index, it suggests shortening tanning time and recommends reapplying sunscreen. In this way, the generation unit can provide a custom tanning plan tailored to the user's skin condition and weather conditions, supporting safe and effective tanning.
[0033] The monitoring unit monitors tanning time in real time based on the tanning plan generated by the generation unit. Specifically, it counts down the tanning time from the moment the user starts tanning and notifies the user when it ends. The monitoring unit uses sensors from smartphones and wearable devices to monitor the user's location and activity in real time. For example, if a user is tanning on the beach, the monitoring unit identifies the user's location based on GPS data and accurately measures the tanning time. It also uses acceleration sensors and gyroscope sensors to detect the user's movements and understand their activity level while tanning. Based on this data, the monitoring unit displays the progress of the tanning time in real time and notifies the user at the appropriate time. For example, it issues an alert a few minutes before the tanning time ends, prompting the user to reapply sunscreen or move to the shade. This allows the monitoring unit to accurately manage the user's tanning time and prevent excessive tanning. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy of monitoring and the timing of notifications. This allows the monitoring unit to support safe and effective tanning for users.
[0034] The notification unit notifies the user when the monitoring time, as monitored by the monitoring unit, has ended. Specifically, it notifies the user via means such as email, app notifications, and voice alerts. The notification unit selects the most appropriate notification method according to the user's settings and reliably delivers the information. For example, it uses smartphone app notifications to inform the user that their sun exposure time has ended and to suggest post-sun exposure care methods. It also uses voice alerts to notify the user in a way that makes them more likely to notice while sun exposure is in progress. The notification unit considers the details of the notification content and accurately conveys the necessary information to the user. For example, it may notify not only that the sun exposure time has ended, but also to include advice on reapplying sunscreen and staying hydrated. This allows the notification unit to support users in ending sun exposure at the appropriate time and performing post-sun exposure care. Furthermore, the notification unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy of notification content and timing. This allows the notification unit to provide information to users quickly and reliably, supporting safe and effective sun exposure.

[0144] [Third Embodiment] Figure 5 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment.
[0145] As shown in Figure 5, the data processing system 310 includes a data processing device 12 and a headset terminal 314. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0148] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. 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.
[0149] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including 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, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0150] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.
[0151] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0152] 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. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0153] 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.
[0154] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific 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 program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The headset terminal 314 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.
[0155] 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.

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.).
[0156] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 to output the result of the specific processing.

In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0157] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.

[0160] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.

[0164] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. 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.
[0165] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0166] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0170] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59.

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.
[0171] 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. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0172] 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.).
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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).

Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.
[0175] 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.
[0176] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the skin analysis unit, weather data acquisition unit, generation unit, monitoring unit, and notification unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the skin analysis unit acquires an image of the user's skin using the camera 42 of the robot 414 and performs analysis using the control unit 46A. The weather data acquisition unit acquires weather data via a weather data acquisition API using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The generation unit generates an optimal tanning plan for the user using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The monitoring unit monitors the tanning time in real time using the control unit 46A of the robot 414. The notification unit notifies the user when the tanning time is over using the control unit 46A of the robot 414. 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.
[0177] 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.
[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.
