[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Fig. 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific process program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific process program 56 from the storage 32, and executes the read specific process program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific process is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific process program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0025] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an 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 emotion of the user using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user. Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) The voice assistant system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that detects the condition of the user's throat or mental discomfort. This system operates when the user inputs voice to a voice assistant app. The voice input is analyzed by a generation AI. The generation AI analyzes the characteristics of the voice and detects whether there is any discomfort in the throat or mental discomfort. For example, the generation AI judges the condition of the throat by analyzing the tone and rhythm of the voice, the clarity of the pronunciation, etc. In addition, the generation AI also detects mental discomfort by taking into account the content of the dialogue and the response speed. For example, if the user speaks at a slower response speed than usual or if the content of the dialogue is negative, it is judged that there is mental discomfort. Next, if the generation AI judges that a diagnosis is necessary, it prompts the user to do so. For example, a message such as "You seem to be having trouble with your throat recently. We recommend that you get a doctor's diagnosis" is displayed. In this way, the user can detect an abnormality early and take appropriate measures. For example, if a user asks the voice assistant app, "What's the weather today?", the system analyzes the voice and evaluates the tone and rhythm of the voice and the clarity of the pronunciation. If the user's voice is hoarse or the rhythm is irregular, the system will determine that the user's throat is not in good condition. If the user says, "I've been feeling down lately," the system will analyze the content and detect any mental discomfort. This allows the user to easily monitor their health condition. In particular, early detection of throat condition or mental discomfort can prevent serious symptoms from developing. In addition, by using generative AI, the system can grasp the user's condition more accurately through interactive dialogue. This allows the voice assistant system to detect the user's health condition early and encourage appropriate measures.
[0029] The voice assistant system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a judgment unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit accepts voice input made by a user to a voice assistant app. The voice input includes, for example, input using a microphone and uploading of a voice file, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit, for example, accepts a voice spoken by a user into a microphone in real time. The reception unit can also upload a voice file recorded in advance by the user. The analysis unit analyzes the characteristics of the voice accepted by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes, for example, the frequency components, volume, tone, etc. of the voice. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the frequency components of the voice and evaluates the vibration pattern of the vocal cords. The analysis unit can also analyze the volume of the voice and evaluate the strength of the voice. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the tone of the voice and evaluate the pitch and timbre of the voice. The judgment unit judges the condition of the throat based on the characteristics of the voice analyzed by the analysis unit. The judgment unit judges the condition of the throat based on, for example, the vibration pattern of the vocal cords and the clarity of the voice. For example, the determination unit determines that the throat is not in good condition when the vibration pattern of the vocal cords is irregular. The determination unit can also determine that the throat is not in good condition when the clarity of the voice is low. The provision unit provides a diagnosis result based on the result determined by the determination unit. The provision unit provides the diagnosis result in the form of, for example, a text message or voice feedback. For example, the provision unit displays a message such as "Your throat seems to be in bad condition recently. We recommend that you receive a doctor's diagnosis." The provision unit can also provide the diagnosis result through voice feedback. For example, the provision unit conveys the diagnosis result to the user by voice through a voice assistant app. As a result, the voice assistant system according to the embodiment can analyze the user's voice input, detect the condition of the throat or mental discomfort, and provide a diagnosis result.
[0030] The reception unit receives voice input from the user to the voice assistant app. Voice input includes, but is not limited to, input using a microphone and uploading of a voice file. For example, the reception unit receives the voice of the user speaking into the microphone in real time. The reception unit can also upload a voice file recorded in advance by the user. Specifically, the reception unit uses a high-sensitivity microphone to clearly capture the user's voice. The microphone has a noise canceling function and can accurately capture only the user's voice by removing ambient noise. Furthermore, the voice file upload function allows the user to provide previously recorded voice data to the system. This allows the user to receive a diagnosis using not only real-time voice input but also previously recorded voice. The reception unit receives the voice data and simultaneously performs pre-processing of the data. For example, noise removal and normalization of the voice data are performed so that the analysis unit can efficiently analyze it. This allows the reception unit to provide the user's voice input as high-quality data and improve the accuracy of the entire system.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the characteristics of the voice received by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes, for example, the frequency components, volume, and tone of the voice. Specifically, the analysis unit uses an advanced voice analysis algorithm to extract detailed characteristics of the voice data. For example, by analyzing the frequency components of the voice, the vibration pattern of the vocal cords is evaluated and the characteristics of the user's voice are grasped. In the volume analysis, the strength of the voice is evaluated and the user's voice production method and the health condition of the vocal cords are estimated. In the tone analysis, the pitch and timbre of the voice are evaluated and the user's emotional state and stress level can be estimated. The analysis unit integrates these analysis results and grasps the overall characteristics of the user's voice. Furthermore, the analysis unit uses a machine learning model to learn patterns from the voice data and perform more accurate analysis. For example, it is possible to detect abnormal patterns by comparing with past voice data and to detect throat condition and mental discomfort at an early stage. As a result, the analysis unit can analyze the user's voice data in detail and provide accurate information to the judgment unit.
[0032] The judgment unit judges the condition of the throat based on the characteristics of the voice analyzed by the analysis unit. The judgment unit judges the condition of the throat based on, for example, the vibration pattern of the vocal cords and the clarity of the voice. Specifically, the judgment unit executes an algorithm for evaluating the health condition of the throat of the user based on the data provided by the analysis unit. For example, if the vibration pattern of the vocal cords is irregular, it is judged that the throat is in a bad condition. It can also be judged that the throat is in a bad condition if the clarity of the voice is low. The judgment unit combines these evaluation criteria to make a comprehensive judgment and evaluate the health condition of the throat of the user. Furthermore, the judgment unit can detect a change in the condition of the throat by evaluating the current condition in comparison with past data. For example, if the current voice is clearly different compared with past voice data, it is judged that the condition of the throat is deteriorating. In this way, the judgment unit can accurately evaluate the health condition of the throat of the user and provide an appropriate diagnosis result to the provision unit.
[0033] The providing unit provides a diagnosis result based on the result determined by the determining unit. The providing unit provides the diagnosis result in the form of, for example, a text message or voice feedback. Specifically, the providing unit has an interface for conveying the diagnosis result to the user in an easy-to-understand format. For example, the providing unit displays a message such as, "Your throat seems to be in bad condition recently. We recommend that you get a doctor's diagnosis." The providing unit can also provide the diagnosis result through voice feedback. For example, the providing unit conveys the diagnosis result to the user by voice through a voice assistant app. Furthermore, the providing unit can also provide advice and recommendations to the user based on the diagnosis result. For example, the providing unit provides advice such as, "We recommend that you drink a lot of water to improve the condition of your throat." This allows the providing unit to quickly provide the user with appropriate diagnosis results and advice, and support the user's health management. Furthermore, the providing unit also has a function of recording the diagnosis result and managing the history of the user's health condition. This allows the user to refer to past diagnosis results and grasp changes in their health condition.
[0034] The analysis unit includes a tone analysis unit that analyzes the tone or rhythm of the voice. The tone analysis unit analyzes the tone or rhythm of the voice. The tone analysis unit analyzes, for example, the pitch or timbre of the sound. For example, the tone analysis unit analyzes the frequency components of the voice to evaluate the pitch. The tone analysis unit can also analyze the timbre of the voice to evaluate the texture of the voice. Furthermore, the tone analysis unit can analyze the rhythm of the voice to evaluate the intervals and tempo of the sounds. For example, the tone analysis unit can determine that the throat is not in good condition when the rhythm of the voice is irregular. As a result, the tone analysis unit can more accurately determine the condition of the throat by analyzing the tone and rhythm of the voice.
[0035] The analysis unit includes a pronunciation analysis unit that analyzes the clarity of pronunciation. The pronunciation analysis unit analyzes the clarity of pronunciation. The pronunciation analysis unit, for example, identifies phonemes and analyzes the consistency of pronunciation. For example, the pronunciation analysis unit identifies each phoneme in the voice and evaluates whether the pronunciation is clear. The pronunciation analysis unit can also analyze the consistency of the pronunciation of the voice and evaluate whether the pronunciation is stable. Furthermore, the pronunciation analysis unit can analyze the clarity of the voice and evaluate whether the pronunciation is clear. For example, the pronunciation analysis unit can determine that the throat is in poor condition when the clarity of the voice is low. As a result, the pronunciation analysis unit can more accurately determine the condition of the throat by analyzing the clarity of the pronunciation.
[0036] The analysis unit includes a speed analysis unit that analyzes the response speed. The speed analysis unit analyzes the response speed. The speed analysis unit analyzes, for example, the voice reaction time and the response delay. For example, the speed analysis unit evaluates how quickly the user responds to a question. The speed analysis unit can also analyze the voice reaction time and evaluate whether the response is delayed. Furthermore, the speed analysis unit can analyze the voice response delay and evaluate whether the response is delayed. For example, the speed analysis unit can determine that there is mental discomfort when the user's response speed is slow. Thereby, the speed analysis unit can more accurately determine mental discomfort by analyzing the response speed.
[0037] The judgment unit includes a dialogue analysis unit that analyzes the dialogue content. The dialogue analysis unit analyzes the dialogue content. The dialogue analysis unit, for example, analyzes the extraction of keywords and the understanding of context. For example, the dialogue analysis unit extracts important keywords from the voice and evaluates the content. The dialogue analysis unit can also analyze the context of the dialogue and understand the content of the dialogue. Furthermore, the dialogue analysis unit can evaluate whether the content of the dialogue is negative. For example, the dialogue analysis unit can determine that there is a mental discomfort when the user is talking about negative content. In this way, the dialogue analysis unit can more accurately determine the mental discomfort by analyzing the dialogue content.
[0038] The dialogue analysis unit includes a content determination unit that determines negative content. The content determination unit determines negative content. The content determination unit, for example, performs emotion analysis and detects negative keywords. For example, the content determination unit detects keywords that express negative emotions from the voice and evaluates the content. The content determination unit can also perform emotion analysis of the voice and evaluate whether the user has negative emotions. Furthermore, the content determination unit can analyze the context of the dialogue and evaluate whether the content of the dialogue is negative. For example, the content determination unit can determine that the user has a mental discomfort when the user is talking about negative content. As a result, the content determination unit can more accurately determine mental discomfort by determining negative content.
[0039] The providing unit includes a notification unit that notifies the user when it is determined that a diagnosis is necessary. The notification unit notifies the user when it is determined that a diagnosis is necessary. The notification unit provides notification in the form of, for example, a text message or voice feedback. For example, the notification unit displays a message such as "Your throat seems to be in a bad condition recently. We recommend that you get a diagnosis from a doctor." The notification unit can also provide notification through voice feedback. For example, the notification unit conveys the diagnosis result to the user by voice through a voice assistant app. In this way, the notification unit can detect abnormalities early by notifying the user when it is determined that a diagnosis is necessary.
[0040] The reception unit can analyze the user's past voice input history and select the optimal reception method. For example, the reception unit preferentially suggests a voice input method that the user has frequently used in the past. The reception unit can also select the optimal reception method for a specific time period from the user's past voice input history. Furthermore, the reception unit can analyze the user's past voice input history and suggest the most efficient reception method. As a result, the reception unit can select the optimal reception method by analyzing the user's past voice input history. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's past voice data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to select the optimal reception method.
[0041] The reception unit can filter the user's current environmental sound to remove noise when receiving the voice input. For example, when the user is in a noisy environment, the reception unit filters the environmental sound to remove noise. In addition, when the user is in a quiet environment, the reception unit can also receive the voice input with the environmental sound minimized. Furthermore, when the user is moving, the reception unit can also filter the environmental sound in real time to remove noise.

[0086] The process flow of the first embodiment will be briefly described below.
[0087] Step 1: The reception unit receives voice input from the user to the voice assistant app. Voice input includes, for example, input using a microphone and uploading of a voice file. The reception unit can receive the voice of the user speaking into the microphone in real time, and can also upload a pre-recorded voice file. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the characteristics of the voice received by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes the frequency components, volume, tone, etc. of the voice, and evaluates, for example, the vibration pattern of the vocal cords, the strength of the voice, the pitch, and the timbre of the voice. Step 3: The judgment unit judges the condition of the throat based on the characteristics of the voice analyzed by the analysis unit. The judgment unit judges the condition of the throat based on the vibration pattern of the vocal cords and the clarity of the voice, and judges that the throat is not in good condition if, for example, the vibration pattern of the vocal cords is irregular or the clarity of the voice is low. Step 4: The providing unit provides a diagnosis result based on the result determined by the determining unit. The providing unit provides the diagnosis result in the form of a text message or voice feedback, for example, displaying a message such as "Your throat seems to be in a bad condition recently. We recommend that you see a doctor." The providing unit can also convey the diagnosis result to the user by voice through a voice assistant app.
[0088] (Example 2) The voice assistant system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that detects the condition of the user's throat or mental discomfort. This system operates when the user inputs voice to a voice assistant app. The voice input is analyzed by a generation AI. The generation AI analyzes the characteristics of the voice and detects whether there is any discomfort in the throat or mental discomfort. For example, the generation AI judges the condition of the throat by analyzing the tone and rhythm of the voice, the clarity of the pronunciation, etc. In addition, the generation AI also detects mental discomfort by taking into account the content of the dialogue and the response speed. For example, if the user speaks at a slower response speed than usual or if the content of the dialogue is negative, it is judged that there is mental discomfort. Next, if the generation AI judges that a diagnosis is necessary, it prompts the user to do so. For example, a message such as "You seem to be having trouble with your throat recently. We recommend that you get a doctor's diagnosis" is displayed. In this way, the user can detect an abnormality early and take appropriate measures. For example, if a user asks the voice assistant app, "What's the weather today?", the system analyzes the voice and evaluates the tone and rhythm of the voice and the clarity of the pronunciation. If the user's voice is hoarse or the rhythm is irregular, the system will determine that the user's throat is not in good condition. If the user says, "I've been feeling down lately," the system will analyze the content and detect any mental discomfort. This allows the user to easily monitor their health condition. In particular, early detection of throat condition or mental discomfort can prevent serious symptoms from developing. In addition, by using generative AI, the system can grasp the user's condition more accurately through interactive dialogue. This allows the voice assistant system to detect the user's health condition early and encourage appropriate measures.
[0089] The voice assistant system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a judgment unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit accepts voice input made by a user to a voice assistant app. The voice input includes, for example, input using a microphone and uploading of a voice file, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit, for example, accepts a voice spoken by a user into a microphone in real time. The reception unit can also upload a voice file recorded in advance by the user. The analysis unit analyzes the characteristics of the voice accepted by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes, for example, the frequency components, volume, tone, etc. of the voice. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the frequency components of the voice and evaluates the vibration pattern of the vocal cords. The analysis unit can also analyze the volume of the voice and evaluate the strength of the voice. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the tone of the voice and evaluate the pitch and timbre of the voice. The judgment unit judges the condition of the throat based on the characteristics of the voice analyzed by the analysis unit. The judgment unit judges the condition of the throat based on, for example, the vibration pattern of the vocal cords and the clarity of the voice. For example, the determination unit determines that the throat is not in good condition when the vibration pattern of the vocal cords is irregular. The determination unit can also determine that the throat is not in good condition when the clarity of the voice is low. The provision unit provides a diagnosis result based on the result determined by the determination unit. The provision unit provides the diagnosis result in the form of, for example, a text message or voice feedback. For example, the provision unit displays a message such as "Your throat seems to be in bad condition recently. We recommend that you receive a doctor's diagnosis." The provision unit can also provide the diagnosis result through voice feedback. For example, the provision unit conveys the diagnosis result to the user by voice through a voice assistant app. As a result, the voice assistant system according to the embodiment can analyze the user's voice input, detect the condition of the throat or mental discomfort, and provide a diagnosis result.
[0090] The reception unit receives voice input from the user to the voice assistant app. Voice input includes, but is not limited to, input using a microphone and uploading of a voice file. For example, the reception unit receives the voice of the user speaking into the microphone in real time. The reception unit can also upload a voice file recorded in advance by the user. Specifically, the reception unit uses a high-sensitivity microphone to clearly capture the user's voice. The microphone has a noise canceling function and can accurately capture only the user's voice by removing ambient noise. Furthermore, the voice file upload function allows the user to provide previously recorded voice data to the system. This allows the user to receive a diagnosis using not only real-time voice input but also previously recorded voice. The reception unit receives the voice data and simultaneously performs pre-processing of the data. For example, noise removal and normalization of the voice data are performed so that the analysis unit can efficiently analyze it. This allows the reception unit to provide the user's voice input as high-quality data and improve the accuracy of the entire system.
[0091] The analysis unit analyzes the characteristics of the voice received by the reception unit. The analysis unit analyzes, for example, the frequency components, volume, and tone of the voice. Specifically, the analysis unit uses an advanced voice analysis algorithm to extract detailed characteristics of the voice data. For example, by analyzing the frequency components of the voice, the vibration pattern of the vocal cords is evaluated and the characteristics of the user's voice are grasped. In the volume analysis, the strength of the voice is evaluated and the user's voice production method and the health condition of the vocal cords are estimated. In the tone analysis, the pitch and timbre of the voice are evaluated and the user's emotional state and stress level can be estimated. The analysis unit integrates these analysis results and grasps the overall characteristics of the user's voice. Furthermore, the analysis unit uses a machine learning model to learn patterns from the voice data and perform more accurate analysis. For example, it is possible to detect abnormal patterns by comparing with past voice data and to detect throat condition and mental discomfort at an early stage.

[0224] 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 executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may be executed 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 required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.
[0225] Each of the multiple elements including the above-mentioned reception unit, analysis unit, judgment unit, and provision unit is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the reception unit receives voice input using the microphone 238 of the robot 414. The analysis unit analyzes the characteristics of the voice by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The judgment unit judges the condition of the throat and mental discomfort by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The provision unit provides the diagnosis result by using the speaker 240 of the robot 414. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.
[0226] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the emotion of the user according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the emotion of the user according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the emotion of the robot, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the emotion of the robot.
[0227] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an emotion map 400 on 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 emotions are arranged. The more outside the concentric circles, the more emotions that represent states and actions that arise from a state of mind are arranged. Emotions are a concept that includes emotions and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain are arranged. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are arranged. On the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain and are induced by situational judgment are arranged. In addition, on the upper side of the concentric circles, emotions of "pleasure" are arranged, and on the lower side, emotions of "discomfort" are arranged. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[0228] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction of emotion map 400 and usually fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.
[0229] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on inside one's mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further out you go on emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[0230] Here, human emotions are based on various balances such as posture and blood sugar level, and when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, motorcycles, etc., based on various balances such as posture and battery level, so that when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. The emotion map may be generated, for example, based on the emotion map of Dr. Mitsuyoshi (Research on speech emotion recognition and emotion brain physiological signal analysis system, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). On the left half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "reaction" where sensation is dominant are lined up. On the right half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "situation" where situation recognition is dominant are lined up.
[0231] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. The first is the negative emotion around the middle of "repentance" or "remorse" on the situation side. In other words, this 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 positive emotion around "desire" on the response side. In other words, this is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0232] The emotion identification model 59 inputs the user input to a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the emotion of the user. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple learning data that are combinations of the user input and emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in Fig. 10. Fig. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relief," "calm," and "encouraging," have similar emotion values.
[0233] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers, including computer 22.
[0234] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable computer-readable non-transitory storage medium such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.
[0235] In addition, 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 upon request from the data processing device 12.
[0236] It is not necessary to store all 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 all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.
[0237] As the hardware resource for executing the specific process, various processors as shown below can be used. An example of the processor is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing the specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. Another example of the processor is a dedicated electric circuit, which is a processor having a circuit configuration designed exclusively for executing a specific process, such as a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), or an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). Each processor has a built-in or connected memory, and each processor executes the specific process by using the memory.
[0238] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be one of these various processors, or may be 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). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.
[0239] As an example of a configuration using one processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a configuration in which a processor is used that realizes the functions of the entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.
[0240] Furthermore, more specifically, the hardware structure of these various processors can be an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor elements. The specific processes described above are merely examples. It goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the order of processes may be changed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
[0241] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments are described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, the smart glasses 214, the headset terminal 314, and the robot 414 are only examples, and they may be combined with each other, or may be other devices. In the above example, the first and second embodiments are described separately, but they may be combined.
