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 fashion evaluation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes a full-body photograph uploaded by a user, evaluates and scores the user's fashion sense, and suggests areas for improvement and new outfits. This fashion evaluation system analyzes a full-body photograph uploaded by a user and evaluates the user's fashion sense. Based on the evaluation results, the generating AI assigns points and suggests areas for improvement and new outfits. This system allows users to improve their fashion sense. For example, a user uploads a full-body photograph. In this case, the user can choose a photograph that suits their body type and preferences. For example, they can upload photographs of various styles, such as casual or formal attire. This information is input into the generating AI. Next, the generating AI analyzes the uploaded photograph. The generating AI has learned the latest fashion trends and provides styling that suits the user's body type and preferences. For example, the generating AI can suggest clothing silhouettes and colors that suit the user's body type. This allows the user to find the style that is best suited to them. Based on the results of the photograph analysis, the generating AI evaluates the user's fashion sense. The evaluation is done in a point format, and the user's fashion sense is quantified. For example, the system evaluates whether a user's outfit is on-trend and whether the color combinations are appropriate. Based on the evaluation results, the generating AI suggests improvements and new outfits to the user. For instance, it might suggest changing the color combinations or combining different items with the user's outfit. This allows users to receive specific advice to improve their fashion sense. This system enables users to improve their fashion sense. For example, it is extremely useful for users who lack confidence in their fashion sense or who want to try new styles but don't know how. It is also convenient for busy modern people as it reduces the time spent choosing clothes every day. Furthermore, the generating AI can provide personalized fashion advice tailored to the user's needs.This enables unique suggestions tailored to each individual user. For example, it can suggest styling that matches the user's preferences or outfits suited to specific events. In this way, by utilizing generative AI, it is possible to improve users' fashion sense and create a society where people can live each day with confidence. Thus, the fashion evaluation system can improve users' fashion sense.
[0029] The fashion evaluation system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an evaluation unit, and a suggestion unit. The reception unit receives full-body photos uploaded by the user. Full-body photos uploaded by the user include, but are not limited to, photos of various styles, such as casual or formal attire. The reception unit allows, for example, the user to select photos that suit their body type and preferences. The evaluation unit analyzes the full-body photos received by the reception unit and evaluates the user's fashion sense. The evaluation is performed based on criteria such as color combinations, clothing silhouettes, and degree of conformity to trends, but is not limited to such examples. The evaluation unit can, for example, use generative AI to analyze the user's full-body photos and evaluate color combinations and clothing silhouettes. The evaluation unit can also use generative AI to quantify the user's fashion sense. The suggestion unit proposes areas for improvement and new outfits to the user based on the evaluation results from the evaluation unit. The suggestions may, for example, be suggestions to change color combinations or to combine different items, but are not limited to such examples. The suggestion unit can, for example, use generative AI to propose specific areas for improvement and new outfits based on the user's evaluation results. The suggestion section can also use generative AI to suggest styling tailored to the user's preferences or outfits suited to specific events. This allows the fashion evaluation system according to the embodiment to evaluate the user's fashion sense and suggest areas for improvement or new outfits.
[0030] The reception desk accepts full-body photos uploaded by users. These photos may include, but are not limited to, photos in various styles, such as casual or formal attire. The reception desk allows users to select photos that suit their body type and preferences. Specifically, the reception desk provides an interface for users to upload photos, making it easy for them to select and upload images. Users can upload photos from smartphones or computers, and the reception desk automatically accepts and stores the uploaded photos in the system. Furthermore, the reception desk can check the quality of user-uploaded photos and, if necessary, adjust the resolution and brightness. For example, if a photo is too dark or has low resolution, the reception desk can automatically correct the photo so that the evaluation desk can analyze it accurately. The reception desk can also allow users to upload multiple photos, accepting photos from different angles and poses. This allows the evaluation desk to more accurately assess the user's fashion. Additionally, the reception desk can perform privacy-protecting processing on user-uploaded photos. For example, it can provide features such as automatically blurring faces or removing backgrounds containing personal information. This allows users to upload photos with peace of mind.
[0031] The evaluation unit analyzes full-body photographs received by the reception unit and assesses the user's fashion sense. The evaluation is based on criteria such as color combinations, clothing silhouettes, and the degree of conformity with trends, but is not limited to these examples. The evaluation unit uses generative AI to analyze the user's full-body photographs and evaluate color combinations and clothing silhouettes. Specifically, the generative AI uses image recognition technology to extract the colors and shapes of clothing from the user's full-body photographs and evaluates the balance of color combinations and silhouettes. For example, the generative AI evaluates whether the color combinations are harmonious and whether the clothing silhouettes suit the body type, quantifying the user's fashion sense. The evaluation unit can also use generative AI to quantify the user's fashion sense. For example, the evaluation of color combinations is based on the balance of hue, saturation, and brightness, and the evaluation of silhouettes is based on how well the shape and lines of the clothing fit the body type. Furthermore, to evaluate the degree of conformity with trends, the evaluation unit refers to the latest fashion trend database and assesses how well the user's coordination matches current trends. This allows the evaluation unit to comprehensively assess the user's fashion sense and provide specific numerical data and evaluation results.
[0032] The suggestion department proposes improvements and new outfits to the user based on the evaluation results from the evaluation department. These suggestions may include, but are not limited to, suggestions to change color combinations or combine different items. The suggestion department uses generative AI to propose specific improvements and new outfits based on the user's evaluation results. Specifically, the generative AI analyzes the user's evaluation results and identifies areas for improvement in color combinations and silhouettes. For example, the generative AI suggests more harmonious color combinations or silhouettes that better suit the user's body type for their current outfit. Furthermore, the generative AI can suggest new items and styles considering the user's preferences and past outfit history. For example, if the user prefers a casual style, the generative AI will suggest a new outfit centered around casual items. In addition, the suggestion department can suggest outfits tailored to specific events or situations. For example, it can suggest outfits suitable for formal events such as weddings and parties, or casual outfits suitable for travel and outdoor activities. Through this, the suggestion department provides specific advice and new ideas to improve the user's fashion sense, enabling them to enjoy fashion with confidence.
[0033] The evaluation unit can analyze a user's full-body photograph and evaluate their fashion sense based on color combinations, clothing silhouettes, and the degree of matching with trends.

The evaluation unit can also use a generative AI to evaluate the clothing silhouettes. The evaluation unit can also use a generative AI to evaluate the degree of matching with trends. This allows for a detailed evaluation of the user's fashion sense. Some or all of the above-described processes in the evaluation unit may be performed using a generative AI, or they may not be performed using a generative AI. For example, the evaluation unit can input a user's full-body photograph into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform evaluations of color combinations, clothing silhouettes, and the degree of matching with trends.
[0034] The proposal unit can make suggestions to change color combinations or combine different items based on the evaluation results. For example, the proposal unit can use a generative AI to make suggestions to change color combinations based on the evaluation results. The proposal unit can also use a generative AI to make suggestions to combine different items. The proposal unit can also use a generative AI to suggest specific improvements or new outfits based on the user's evaluation results. This allows the proposal unit to suggest specific improvements or new outfits to the user. Some or all of the above-described processes in the proposal unit may be performed using a generative AI, or they may not be performed using a generative AI.

[0056] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0057] Step 1: The reception desk receives full-body photos uploaded by users. These photos may include various styles, such as casual or formal attire. The reception desk allows users to select photos that suit their body type and preferences. Step 2: The evaluation unit analyzes the full-body photos received by the reception unit and assesses the user's fashion sense. The evaluation is based on criteria such as color combinations, clothing silhouettes, and the degree of matching with trends. The evaluation unit can also use generative AI to analyze the user's full-body photos, evaluate color combinations and clothing silhouettes, and quantify the user's fashion sense. Step 3: The suggestion department proposes improvements and new outfits to the user based on the evaluation results from the evaluation department. These suggestions may include changing color combinations or combining different items. Using generative AI, the suggestion department can propose specific improvements and new outfits based on the user's evaluation results, and can also suggest styling tailored to the user's preferences or outfits suitable for specific events.
[0058] (Example of form 2) The fashion evaluation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes a full-body photograph uploaded by a user, evaluates and scores the user's fashion sense, and suggests areas for improvement and new outfits. This fashion evaluation system analyzes a full-body photograph uploaded by a user and evaluates the user's fashion sense. Based on the evaluation results, the generating AI assigns points and suggests areas for improvement and new outfits. This system allows users to improve their fashion sense. For example, a user uploads a full-body photograph. In this case, the user can choose a photograph that suits their body type and preferences. For example, they can upload photographs of various styles, such as casual or formal attire. This information is input into the generating AI. Next, the generating AI analyzes the uploaded photograph. The generating AI has learned the latest fashion trends and provides styling that suits the user's body type and preferences. For example, the generating AI can suggest clothing silhouettes and colors that suit the user's body type. This allows the user to find the style that is best suited to them. Based on the results of the photograph analysis, the generating AI evaluates the user's fashion sense. The evaluation is done in a point format, and the user's fashion sense is quantified. For example, the system evaluates whether a user's outfit is on-trend and whether the color combinations are appropriate. Based on the evaluation results, the generating AI suggests improvements and new outfits to the user. For instance, it might suggest changing the color combinations or combining different items with the user's outfit. This allows users to receive specific advice to improve their fashion sense. This system enables users to improve their fashion sense. For example, it is extremely useful for users who lack confidence in their fashion sense or who want to try new styles but don't know how. It is also convenient for busy modern people as it reduces the time spent choosing clothes every day. Furthermore, the generating AI can provide personalized fashion advice tailored to the user's needs.This enables unique suggestions tailored to each individual user. For example, it can suggest styling that matches the user's preferences or outfits suited to specific events. In this way, by utilizing generative AI, it is possible to improve users' fashion sense and create a society where people can live each day with confidence. Thus, the fashion evaluation system can improve users' fashion sense.
[0059] The fashion evaluation system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an evaluation unit, and a suggestion unit. The reception unit receives full-body photos uploaded by the user. Full-body photos uploaded by the user include, but are not limited to, photos of various styles, such as casual or formal attire. The reception unit allows, for example, the user to select photos that suit their body type and preferences. The evaluation unit analyzes the full-body photos received by the reception unit and evaluates the user's fashion sense.

For example, the generative AI evaluates whether the color combinations are harmonious and whether the clothing silhouettes suit the body type, quantifying the user's fashion sense. The evaluation unit can also use generative AI to quantify the user's fashion sense. For example, the evaluation of color combinations is based on the balance of hue, saturation, and brightness, and the evaluation of silhouettes is based on how well the shape and lines of the clothing fit the body type. Furthermore, to evaluate the degree of conformity with trends, the evaluation unit refers to the latest fashion trend database and assesses how well the user's coordination matches current trends. This allows the evaluation unit to comprehensively assess the user's fashion sense and provide specific numerical data and evaluation results.
[0062] The suggestion department proposes improvements and new outfits to the user based on the evaluation results from the evaluation department. These suggestions may include, but are not limited to, suggestions to change color combinations or combine different items. The suggestion department uses generative AI to propose specific improvements and new outfits based on the user's evaluation results. Specifically, the generative AI analyzes the user's evaluation results and identifies areas for improvement in color combinations and silhouettes. For example, the generative AI suggests more harmonious color combinations or silhouettes that better suit the user's body type for their current outfit. Furthermore, the generative AI can suggest new items and styles considering the user's preferences and past outfit history. For example, if the user prefers a casual style, the generative AI will suggest a new outfit centered around casual items. In addition, the suggestion department can suggest outfits tailored to specific events or situations. For example, it can suggest outfits suitable for formal events such as weddings and parties, or casual outfits suitable for travel and outdoor activities. Through this, the suggestion department provides specific advice and new ideas to improve the user's fashion sense, enabling them to enjoy fashion with confidence.

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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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."
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
