[0028] (Example 1) The natural disaster early warning system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that collects meteorological information and sensor data, analyzes it with AI, predicts the occurrence of natural disasters, and performs early warning. This system performs early warning by collecting meteorological information and sensor data, analyzing it with AI, and predicting the occurrence of natural disasters. For example, as meteorological information, data such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation are collected. As sensor data, data such as seismometers and water level gauges are collected. For example, data provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency and observation stations in various locations can be collected. Next, the AI analyzes the collected data. The AI predicts the occurrence of natural disasters based on the collected data. For example, it can predict the occurrence of heavy rain from changes in temperature and humidity, and predict the occurrence of earthquakes from seismometer data. The AI can make highly accurate predictions by learning past data and recognizing patterns. Based on the prediction results, an early warning is performed. For example, when heavy rain is predicted, an evacuation advisory can be issued to residents. Also, when an earthquake is predicted, earthquake resistance measures for buildings can be strengthened. In this way, damage from natural disasters can be minimized. This system can provide early warning of the occurrence of natural disasters and ensure the safety of residents. For example, if heavy rain is predicted, early evacuation can prevent damage from floods and landslides. Similarly, if an earthquake is predicted, strengthening earthquake resistance measures for buildings can reduce damage from the earthquake. In this way, natural disaster early warning systems can provide early warning of natural disasters and ensure the safety of residents.
[0029] The natural disaster early warning system according to the embodiment includes a collection unit, an analysis unit, a prediction unit, and a warning unit. The collection unit collects meteorological information and sensor data. The meteorological information includes, for example, temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation. The sensor data includes, for example, data from a seismometer and a water level gauge. The collection unit can collect data provided by, for example, the Japan Meteorological Agency and observation stations in various locations. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit analyzes the data using, for example, machine learning or deep learning. Machine learning and deep learning algorithms include neural networks and support vector machines. The prediction unit predicts the occurrence of a natural disaster based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The prediction unit can predict the occurrence of heavy rain from changes in temperature and humidity, and predict the occurrence of an earthquake from seismometer data, for example. The prediction unit can perform highly accurate predictions by learning past data and recognizing patterns. The warning unit performs early warning based on the prediction results obtained by the prediction unit. For example, when the occurrence of heavy rain is predicted, the warning unit can issue an evacuation advisory to residents. Also, when the occurrence of an earthquake is predicted, the warning unit can strengthen earthquake resistance measures of buildings. In this way, the natural disaster early warning system according to the embodiment can provide early warning of the occurrence of a natural disaster and ensure the safety of residents.
[0030] The collection unit collects meteorological information and sensor data. Meteorological information includes, for example, temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation. These meteorological information can be collected in real time from the data provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency and observation stations in various regions. Specifically, an API is used to access the database of the Japan Meteorological Agency and obtain the latest meteorological information. In addition, data is obtained from observation stations in various regions using a dedicated communication protocol. The sensor data includes, for example, data from seismometers and water level gauges. Seismometers detect earthquake vibrations and collect their amplitude and frequency as data. Water level gauges measure the water level of rivers and lakes and monitor their fluctuations in real time. These sensors are installed in various regions and transmit data to a central server via wireless communication or the Internet. The collection unit can centrally manage these data and cooperate with other systems and departments as necessary. For example, the collected data is stored in a cloud server so that the analysis unit and prediction unit can access it. In addition, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses according to specific situations and conditions are possible. This allows the collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively and improve the performance of the entire system. Furthermore, the collection unit can implement algorithms for detecting outliers and complementing data to ensure data quality. For example, to complement data missing due to sensor failure or communication failure, data from surrounding sensors is used for interpolation. In addition, to detect outliers, the collection unit automatically identifies abnormal values by comparing with past data and performs appropriate processing. This allows the collection unit to provide highly reliable data and improve the accuracy of the entire system.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit. The analysis unit analyzes the data using, for example, machine learning or deep learning. Machine learning and deep learning algorithms include neural networks and support vector machines. Specifically, the neural network is used to learn weather data patterns and detect abnormal weather conditions. The support vector machine is used to analyze seismometer data and detect earthquake precursors. The analysis unit can use these algorithms to analyze collected data in real time and quickly detect abnormal patterns and precursors. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also use past data and statistical information to perform long-term risk assessment and trend analysis. For example, based on past weather data, the analysis unit predicts risk fluctuations in a specific area or time period and plans future countermeasures. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use an anomaly detection algorithm to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data and issue an early warning. As a result, the analysis unit can not only grasp the situation in real time, but also handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire system. Furthermore, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by performing data preprocessing and feature extraction. For example, the accuracy of analysis can be improved by removing noise from meteorological data and extracting important features. Also, seismometer data can be filtered and minute vibrations emphasized to more accurately detect earthquake precursors. This allows the analysis unit to analyze collected data efficiently and effectively, improving the performance of the entire system.
[0032] The prediction unit predicts the occurrence of a natural disaster based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The prediction unit can predict the occurrence of heavy rain from changes in temperature and humidity, and predict the occurrence of an earthquake from seismometer data, for example. Specifically, the prediction unit detects a sudden change in temperature and humidity, and compares it with past data to calculate the probability of heavy rain. In addition, the prediction unit analyzes seismometer data and detects a pattern of minute vibrations to predict a precursor to an earthquake. The prediction unit can perform highly accurate predictions by learning past data and recognizing patterns. For example, based on past heavy rain data, the prediction unit calculates the probability of heavy rain occurring under specific weather conditions and provides a prediction result. In addition, based on past earthquake data, the prediction unit determines whether a specific vibration pattern is a precursor to an earthquake and provides a prediction result. In addition, based on data updated in real time, the prediction unit can continuously revise the prediction result to respond to the latest situation. For example, if the temperature or humidity changes suddenly, the prediction unit immediately takes in new data and updates the prediction result. In addition, if the seismometer data changes suddenly, the prediction unit immediately takes in new data and updates the prediction result. This allows the prediction unit to always provide highly accurate predictions based on the latest information and support rapid and appropriate responses. Furthermore, the prediction unit can identify the most likely risk by simulating multiple scenarios. For example, multiple weather scenarios are simulated based on meteorological data to identify the most likely scenario of heavy rain. Also, multiple earthquake scenarios are simulated based on earthquake data to identify the most likely scenario of earthquake occurrence. This allows the prediction unit to predict disaster risks with high accuracy and provide information for taking appropriate measures.
[0033] The warning unit performs early warning based on the prediction results obtained by the prediction unit. For example, when the occurrence of heavy rain is predicted, the warning unit can issue an evacuation advisory to residents. Specifically, the warning unit issues an evacuation advisory to residents in an area where the occurrence of heavy rain is predicted through smartphone notifications, emails, voice calls, etc. Furthermore, when the occurrence of an earthquake is predicted, earthquake resistance measures of buildings can be strengthened. Specifically, the building owners in the area where the occurrence of an earthquake is predicted are notified of the need for earthquake resistance reinforcement and specific measures are proposed. This allows the warning unit to warn of the occurrence of natural disasters early and ensure the safety of residents. Furthermore, the warning unit can formulate an emergency response plan based on the prediction results and respond quickly in cooperation with related organizations. For example, when the occurrence of heavy rain is predicted, the warning unit works with fire departments, police departments, medical institutions, etc. to set up evacuation shelters and prepare for rescue activities. Furthermore, when the occurrence of an earthquake is predicted, the warning unit works with construction companies and infrastructure managers to prepare for earthquake resistance reinforcement and emergency repairs. This allows the warning unit to respond quickly and appropriately to the occurrence of natural disasters and minimize damage. Furthermore, the Warning Department can collect feedback from residents and related organizations to continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the warning system. For example, based on feedback from residents who have received evacuation advisories, the department can review evacuation routes and improve the method of providing warning information. Also, based on feedback from related organizations, the department can review emergency response plans and strengthen collaboration systems. This allows the Warning Department to always provide a highly accurate warning system based on the latest information and feedback, ensuring the safety of residents.
[0034] The collection unit can collect weather information or sensor data provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency or observation stations in various locations. The collection unit collects, for example, weather information provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency. The weather information includes temperature, humidity, wind speed, precipitation, and the like. The collection unit can also collect sensor data provided by observation stations in various locations. The sensor data includes data from seismometers and water level gauges. For example, the collection unit can access the Japan Meteorological Agency's database to obtain the latest weather information. The collection unit can also collect data in real time from observation stations in various locations. This allows the collection unit to collect highly reliable data.
[0035] The analysis unit can analyze the collected data using machine learning or deep learning. The analysis unit, for example, analyzes the collected data using machine learning. Machine learning algorithms include neural networks and support vector machines. The analysis unit can also analyze data using deep learning. Deep learning algorithms include convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs). For example, the analysis unit inputs collected weather data into a neural network to analyze changes in temperature and humidity. The analysis unit can also input data from a seismometer into a support vector machine to analyze the occurrence of earthquakes. This allows the analysis unit to perform highly accurate data analysis.
[0036] The prediction unit can predict the occurrence of heavy rain based on the analysis result. The prediction unit predicts the occurrence of heavy rain based on, for example, data on changes in temperature and humidity obtained by the analysis unit. The prediction unit can predict the occurrence of heavy rain by learning past heavy rain data and recognizing patterns of changes in temperature and humidity. For example, the prediction unit predicts the occurrence of heavy rain when the temperature rises sharply and the humidity becomes high. The prediction unit can also predict the occurrence of heavy rain by taking into account data on wind speed and precipitation. This allows the prediction unit to predict the occurrence of heavy rain with high accuracy.
[0037] The prediction unit can predict the occurrence of an earthquake based on the analysis results. The prediction unit predicts the occurrence of an earthquake based on, for example, seismometer data obtained by the analysis unit. The prediction unit can predict the occurrence of an earthquake by learning past earthquake data and recognizing data patterns of the seismometer. For example, the prediction unit predicts the occurrence of an earthquake when vibration data from the seismometer shows a specific pattern. The prediction unit can also predict the occurrence of an earthquake by taking into account data on the location of the earthquake and its seismic intensity. This allows the prediction unit to predict the occurrence of an earthquake with high accuracy.
[0038] The alert department can issue an evacuation advisory to residents based on the prediction results. For example, when the prediction department predicts the occurrence of heavy rain, the alert department issues an evacuation advisory to residents. The alert department can set conditions for issuing evacuation advisories based on the prediction results and quickly issue evacuation advisories to residents. For example, when the occurrence of heavy rain is predicted, the alert department issues an evacuation advisory to a specific area. In addition, the alert department can use smartphone apps, email, television, radio, etc. as a means of notifying the evacuation advisory. This allows the alert department to quickly issue evacuation advisories to residents.
[0039] The alert unit can strengthen earthquake resistance measures of the building based on the prediction result. For example, when the prediction unit predicts the occurrence of an earthquake, the alert unit strengthens the earthquake resistance measures of the building. The alert unit can set conditions for strengthening the earthquake resistance measures of the building based on the prediction result, and can quickly strengthen the earthquake resistance measures of the building. For example, when the occurrence of an earthquake is predicted, the alert unit can carry out earthquake reinforcement work on a specific building. Furthermore, the alert unit can install earthquake reinforcement materials or reinforce the structure of the building as a means of strengthening the earthquake resistance measures of the building. This allows the alert unit to quickly strengthen the earthquake resistance measures of the building.
[0040] The collection unit can analyze past disaster data and select an optimal data collection method. The collection unit can analyze, for example, past heavy rain data and optimize a data collection method under specific weather conditions. The collection unit can use AI to analyze past disaster data. The AI learns past data and recognizes patterns for selecting an optimal data collection method. For example, the collection unit inputs past heavy rain data into the AI and optimizes a data collection method under specific weather conditions. The collection unit can also analyze past earthquake data and optimize sensor placement at the time of an earthquake occurrence. For example, the collection unit inputs past earthquake data into the AI and optimizes sensor placement at the time of an earthquake occurrence. Furthermore, the collection unit can analyze past flood data and optimize the installation location of a water level gauge. For example, the collection unit inputs past flood data into the AI and optimizes the installation location of a water level gauge. This allows the collection unit to select an optimal data collection method based on past disaster data. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0041] The collection unit can prioritize collection of specific weather conditions and abnormal values of sensors when collecting data. For example, the collection unit prioritizes collection of data from a wind speed sensor when a typhoon approaches. The collection unit can use AI to prioritize collection of specific weather conditions and abnormal values of sensors. The AI recognizes a pattern for detecting specific weather conditions and abnormal values of sensors and collecting data preferentially. For example, the collection unit inputs data from a wind speed sensor to the AI when a typhoon approaches and prioritizes collection of the data from the wind speed sensor. The collection unit can also prioritize collection of abnormal values of a seismometer when an earthquake occurs. For example, the collection unit inputs data from a seismometer to the AI when an earthquake occurs and prioritizes collection of abnormal values from the seismometer. Furthermore, the collection unit can also prioritize collection of data from a water level gauge when heavy rain falls. For example, the collection unit inputs data from a water level gauge to the AI when heavy rain falls and prioritizes collection of the data from the water level gauge. This allows the collection unit to prioritize collection of specific weather conditions and abnormal values of sensors. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI.
[0042] The collection unit can preferentially collect highly relevant data in consideration of the geographical location information of the user when collecting data. For example, when the user is in a coastal area, the collection unit preferentially collects tsunami warning data. The collection unit can use AI to collect highly relevant data in consideration of the geographical location information of the user. The AI recognizes a pattern for preferentially collecting highly relevant data based on the geographical location information of the user. For example, when the user is in a coastal area, the collection unit inputs tsunami warning data to the AI and preferentially collects the tsunami warning data. In addition, the collection unit can also preferentially collect landslide data when the user is in a mountainous area. For example, when the user is in a mountainous area, the collection unit inputs landslide data to the AI and preferentially collects the landslide data. In addition, the collection unit can also preferentially collect flood warning data when the user is in an urban area.

This allows the collection unit to preferentially collect highly relevant data based on the geographical location information of the user. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI.
[0043] The collection unit can analyze the social media activity of the user at the time of data collection and collect related data. For example, when the user posts about heavy rain, the collection unit prioritizes collecting data about heavy rain. The collection unit can use AI to analyze the social media activity of the user. The AI recognizes a pattern for collecting related data based on the social media activity of the user. For example, when the user posts about heavy rain, the collection unit inputs data about heavy rain into the AI and prioritizes collecting data about heavy rain. In addition, when the user posts about earthquakes, the collection unit can also prioritize collecting data about earthquakes. For example, when the user posts about earthquakes, the collection unit inputs data about earthquakes into the AI and prioritizes collecting data about earthquakes. In addition, the collection unit can also prioritize collecting data about floods when the user posts about floods. For example, when the user posts about floods, the collection unit inputs data about floods into the AI and prioritizes collecting data about floods. This allows the collection unit to collect related data based on the social media activity of the user. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI.
[0044] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the data during the analysis. For example, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis on data with high importance. The analysis unit can use AI to evaluate the importance of the data. The AI evaluates the importance of the data based on the influence and relevance of the data. For example, the analysis unit inputs data with high importance to the AI and performs a detailed analysis. The analysis unit can also perform a simplified analysis on data with low importance. For example, the analysis unit inputs data with low importance to the AI and performs a simplified analysis. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also perform an analysis with a moderate level of detail on data with medium importance. For example, the analysis unit inputs data with medium importance to the AI and performs an analysis with a moderate level of detail. This allows the analysis unit to adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the data. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI.
[0045] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of data during analysis. For example, the analysis unit applies a weather forecasting algorithm to weather data. The analysis unit can use AI to apply the optimal analysis algorithm depending on the category of data. The AI selects the optimal analysis algorithm based on the category of data. For example, the analysis unit inputs weather data to AI and applies a weather forecasting algorithm. The analysis unit can also apply an earthquake forecasting algorithm to earthquake data. For example, the analysis unit inputs earthquake data to AI and applies an earthquake forecasting algorithm.

This allows the analysis unit to apply the optimal analysis algorithm depending on the category of data. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI.
[0046] The analysis unit can determine the priority of the analysis based on the collection time of the data at the time of analysis. The analysis unit, for example, prioritizes the analysis of the latest data. The analysis unit can use AI to determine the priority of the analysis taking into account the collection time of the data. The AI recognizes a pattern for determining the priority of the analysis based on the collection time of the data. For example, the analysis unit inputs the latest data into the AI and analyzes it with priority. The analysis unit can also analyze with emphasis on the latest data while referring to past data. For example, the analysis unit inputs past data and the latest data into the AI and analyzes with emphasis on the latest data. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also analyze with priority on data collected at a specific time. For example, the analysis unit inputs data collected at a specific time into the AI and analyzes it with priority. This allows the analysis unit to determine the priority of the analysis based on the collection time of the data. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.
[0047] The analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of data during analysis. The analysis unit, for example, preferentially analyzes highly relevant data. The analysis unit can use AI to evaluate the relevance of data. The AI evaluates the relevance of data based on the correlation coefficient or relevance score of data. For example, the analysis unit inputs highly relevant data to the AI and analyzes it preferentially. The analysis unit can also postpone data with low relevance. For example, the analysis unit inputs data with low relevance to the AI and postpones it.

In the data processing device 12 and the like, the data generation model 58 includes a plurality of types, and the data generation model 58 includes an AI other than the generation AI.

[0164] 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.

For example, the collection unit collects meteorological information and sensor data using the camera 42 and sensors 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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).
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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."
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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 using a processor 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.
[0180] Furthermore, more specifically, the hardware structure of these various processors can be an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor elements.
