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 health management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a free app called "Smart Health Log" that allows users to easily record their daily meals and health status, and an AI agent called "Smart Health Buddy" supports individual health management. With this health management system, when a user takes a picture of their meal and uploads it, the AI analyzes the meal content and advises on nutritional balance and areas for improvement. The user also records their health status by answering simple questions (e.g., sleep duration, stress level, exercise level). Based on this, the AI suggests improvements to nutrition and lifestyle habits. The AI agent "Smart Health Buddy" provides nutritional advice in real time and gives immediate feedback based on the analysis results of the meal photos. For example, it may make specific suggestions such as, "You seem to be lacking in vitamin C. Try adding fruit to your next meal!" It also analyzes past data and makes suggestions tailored to the user's health status. For example, it may make suggestions such as, "You seem to be accumulating fatigue recently. Try to get more rest early." Furthermore, it presents a daily meal plan based on the user's preferences and nutritional status. For example, it may make suggestions such as, "How about 'Salmon and Vegetable Foil Bake' tonight? It's a well-balanced menu." In addition, the app will support continued use by integrating gamification. For example, it will provide motivational features such as, "You're just one day away from achieving a week-long streak! Let's keep it up and build a great healthy habit!" This app uses natural language processing (NLP) to enable natural conversations with users and employs a generative AI-based model to generate personalized responses. It also utilizes image recognition technology to analyze the nutrients in food photos and integrates and analyzes food data, health status data, and user behavior logs. Furthermore, it will achieve scalable data processing by utilizing cloud infrastructure. The development steps for this app will begin with creating a prototype and integrating basic AI agent dialogue functions with image recognition technology. Next, the accuracy of dialogue and advice will be improved by incorporating user feedback. Finally, it will be released as a freemium model, with paid features being introduced gradually.The target audience includes health-conscious individuals in their 20s to 40s (especially women), those who want to support their family's health management, individuals interested in diet and nutrition management, and healthcare professionals and researchers (from a data provision perspective). The monetization strategy will involve a premium plan (offering advanced AI reports, expert consultations, and personalized plans), provision of anonymized data, and advertising revenue (displaying advertisements for health foods and nutritional supplements). Expected effects include improved user satisfaction, increased user numbers, and diversified revenue streams. The AI agent will provide 24 / 7 personal coaching support, and the gamification and engaging AI suggestions will improve user retention. Furthermore, stable profits will be achieved through data sales, advertising, and premium plan revenue models. This will enable the health management system to support users' daily health management and encourage continued use.
[0029] The health management system according to this embodiment comprises an analysis unit, an advice unit, a checking unit, and a provision unit. The analysis unit analyzes photographs of meals. The analysis unit analyzes photographs of meals using, for example, image recognition technology and extracts information on nutrients. The analysis unit can analyze photographs of meals using, for example, deep learning and estimate the content of each nutrient. The analysis unit can also analyze photographs of meals and identify the types and quantities of ingredients. The advice unit provides advice on nutritional balance and points for improvement based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. The advice unit can, for example, suggest a balanced meal if the nutritional balance is skewed. The advice unit can also suggest ingredients containing a particular nutrient if that nutrient is deficient. The advice unit can also, for example, specifically indicate points for improving the diet and provide advice that is easy for the user to implement. The checking unit checks the user's health status. The checking unit analyzes health data entered by the user (e.g., weight, blood pressure, blood glucose level) and evaluates the health status. The checking unit can also identify health risks based on the user's health status. The checking unit can, for example, periodically monitor the user's health status and issue an alert if an abnormality is detected. The provisioning unit provides personalized advice based on the data obtained by the checking unit. The provisioning unit can, for example, propose a meal plan tailored to the user's health status. The provisioning unit can also, for example, present a specific action plan based on the user's health goals. The provisioning unit can also, for example, provide advice tailored to the user's preferences and lifestyle. As a result, the health management system according to this embodiment can comprehensively manage the user's health status and provide individualized advice.
[0030] The analysis unit analyzes photographs of meals. For example, it uses image recognition technology to analyze the photos and extract nutritional information. Specifically, it can use a convolutional neural network (CNN) as the image recognition technology. The CNN recognizes the types and shapes of ingredients from the meal photos and extracts the nutrients of each ingredient by referencing a database. Furthermore, by using deep learning, it can analyze the meal photos and estimate the content of each nutrient with high accuracy. For example, it can analyze the amount of ingredients in the meal photo at the pixel level and calculate the content of nutrients such as calories, protein, fat, and carbohydrates. It can also identify the types and quantities of ingredients by analyzing the meal photos. For example, it can identify ingredients such as vegetables, meat, and fish in the photo and estimate their respective quantities. This allows the analysis unit to understand the nutritional balance of the meals consumed by the user in detail. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use not only meal photos but also meal content and recipe information entered by the user for analysis. This allows for the extraction of more accurate nutritional information and a comprehensive evaluation of the user's diet. The analysis department centrally manages this data and collaborates with other departments to support users' health management.
[0031] The advice department provides advice on nutritional balance and areas for improvement based on the results analyzed by the analysis department. Specifically, it evaluates the user's diet based on the nutrient information provided by the analysis department and proposes a balanced diet. For example, if the user's diet is heavy in carbohydrates, the advice department will suggest adding foods rich in protein and vegetables. If a specific nutrient is deficient, it can also suggest foods rich in that nutrient. For example, if there is a vitamin C deficiency, the advice department will advise consuming foods rich in vitamin C, such as oranges and broccoli. Furthermore, the advice department provides specific points for dietary improvement and offers advice that is easy for the user to implement. For example, it provides specific advice on meal quantity, timing, and cooking methods to support the user in putting these changes into practice in their daily life. The advice department can also provide advice tailored to the user's preferences and lifestyle. For example, if the user is busy, it will suggest healthy recipes that are easy to prepare. In this way, the advice department can improve the user's diet and support a healthy lifestyle.
[0032] The monitoring unit checks the user's health status. Specifically, it analyzes health data entered by the user (e.g., weight, blood pressure, blood sugar levels) and evaluates their health status. For example, based on weight data regularly entered by the user, it graphs weight fluctuations to understand trends in their health status. It also analyzes blood pressure and blood sugar level data to determine if they are within the normal range. Based on this data, the monitoring unit can also identify the user's health risks. For example, if blood pressure is high, it notifies the user of the risk of hypertension and advises them to see a doctor. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can regularly monitor the user's health status and issue alerts if there are any abnormalities. For example, if weight increases or decreases rapidly, or if blood pressure rises sharply, it will alert the user and urge them to take action early. The monitoring unit centrally manages this data and comprehensively evaluates the user's health status. In addition to analyzing the user's health data, the monitoring unit can also consider information such as the user's lifestyle and diet to perform a more accurate health assessment. This allows the monitoring unit to understand the user's health status in detail and provide appropriate advice.
[0033] The service provider offers personalized advice based on data obtained by the checking department. Specifically, it proposes meal plans tailored to the user's health condition. For example, it creates and provides a healthy meal plan based on the user's weight, blood pressure, and blood sugar data. It can also present specific action plans based on the user's health goals. For example, it provides advice on calorie restriction and exercise to users who want to lose weight, and advice on low-sodium diets and stress management to users who want to lower their blood pressure. Furthermore, the service provider can provide advice tailored to the user's preferences and lifestyle. For example, if a user likes a particular ingredient, it will suggest a healthy recipe using that ingredient. Also, if a user is busy, it will provide a meal plan that can be prepared in a short time. Through this advice, the service provider supports users in leading a healthy life. In addition, the service provider can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the advice. For example, it adjusts the content of the next advice based on the results of the advice the user has followed. In this way, the service provider can provide users with the best possible advice and support their health management.

[0171] 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. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.
[0172] The smart glasses 214 include a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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).
[0175] 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.
[0176] Figure 4 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart glasses 214. As shown in Figure 4, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing by the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] In the smart glasses 214, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart glasses 214 also have 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.
[0180] 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.).
[0181] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 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.
[0182] 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.

[0201] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0202] 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.

[0213] 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.

[0216] 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.
[0217] For example, each of the multiple elements, including the analysis unit, advice unit, check unit, and provision unit, is implemented by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the analysis unit takes a picture of the meal using the camera 42 of the robot 414 and analyzes it using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The advice unit is implemented, for example, using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and provides advice on nutritional balance and points for improvement based on the analysis results. The check unit collects the user's health data using the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and analyzes it using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The provision unit is implemented, for example, using the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and provides personalized advice according to the user's health condition. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.
[0218] 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.
[0219] 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.
[0220] 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.
[0221] 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.
[0222] 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.
[0223] 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."
[0224] 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.
[0225] 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.
