Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems struggle to provide personalized food advice due to the need for pre-prepared databases, failing to account for individual user differences.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that includes a prediction model storage unit for user-specific dietary component intake analysis, a food database, and an influence amount calculation unit to determine how foods affect individual physical data, allowing for personalized food recommendations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If pre-prepared advice database is used, then system complexity is reduced, but adaptability to individual users deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidadaptability to individual users
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically generates personalized advice by calculating influence amounts based on individual user characteristics and dietary component contents, rather than using static pre-prepared advice databases. This allows the system to adapt to each user's unique needs while maintaining manageable complexity through automated calculations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of advice generation from fixed pre-prepared categories to dynamic calculations based on user-specific parameters including individual characteristics, physical data, and dietary component analysis. This enables personalized advice tailored to each user's specific situation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If personalized prediction models are created for each user, then adaptability to individual users is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the personalization process into distinct functional modules: a prediction model storage unit that stores pre-built models, a food database that stores dietary component information, and an influence amount calculation unit that performs calculations. This segmentation allows personalized advice generation without overwhelming system complexity, as each module handles a specific aspect of the task.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Optimal food information can be provided to individual users. An information processing system includes: a prediction model storage unit that stores, for each user, a prediction model that predicts physical data regarding a body of the user based on intake amounts of a plurality of dietary components taken by the user, the prediction model including a degree to which each dietary component improves or deteriorates the physical data; a food database that stores a content of the dietary component contained in a food; and an influence amount calculation unit that calculates an influence amount which is an amount by which the food improves or deteriorates the physical data of the user based on the content of the dietary component included in the food and the degree related to the dietary component.
