[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 learning support system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a learning support system for students and working adults who are aiming to obtain qualifications. This learning support system is a system that creates a learning plan according to the user's goals, answers questions from students, creates questions to determine the learning level, reflects the level of understanding in future learning plans, and introduces appropriate lesson videos, etc. For example, the learning support system creates a learning plan according to the user's goals. For example, the generation AI creates a learning plan according to the goals of each user, such as a high school student aiming to take a university entrance exam or a working adult aiming to take a qualification exam. At this time, the user's current learning situation and the period until the goal is achieved are taken into consideration. Next, the learning support system answers questions from students. If the user has a question during learning, the generation AI provides an appropriate answer to the question. For example, detailed answers are provided to specific questions, such as how to solve a math problem or an explanation of English grammar. Furthermore, the learning support system creates questions and determines the learning level. The generation AI automatically creates questions according to the user's learning situation and provides them to the user. When the user solves the problems, the generation AI determines the learning level based on the results. For example, the user's level of understanding is evaluated as a result of solving a math problem and reflected in the next learning plan. The learning support system reflects the level of understanding in future study plans. The generation AI automatically adjusts the next study plan based on the user's learning level. For example, if there is a lack of understanding in a particular area, a study plan focusing on that area will be created. Finally, the learning support system guides users to appropriate lesson videos, etc. The generation AI provides appropriate lesson videos and reference materials based on the user's study plan. For example, it guides users to lesson videos on a specific math unit or audio files for English listening practice. This system allows people living in rural areas to receive high-quality education, correcting regional disparities and contributing to local communities. For example, high school students in rural areas can take classes at famous prep schools in urban areas, which is expected to improve their academic ability. In addition, working adults who are aiming to obtain qualifications can study efficiently between work. This allows people living in rural areas to receive high-quality education, correcting regional disparities and contributing to local communities.
[0029] The learning support system according to the embodiment includes a planning unit, an answering unit, a creating unit, a reflecting unit, and a guidance unit. The planning unit makes a learning plan according to the user's goal. The planning unit can make a learning plan based on the user's past learning history and test results, for example, using a generating AI. For example, the planning unit generates an optimal learning plan in consideration of the user's current learning situation and the period until the goal is achieved. The answering unit answers questions from students based on the learning plan made by the planning unit. The answering unit can use a generating AI, for example, to answer questions using natural language processing technology. For example, when the user has a question during learning, the answering unit provides an appropriate answer to the question. The creating unit creates questions based on the questions answered by the answering unit. The creating unit can adjust the difficulty of the questions according to the user's level of understanding, for example, using a generating AI. For example, the creating unit automatically creates questions according to the user's learning situation and provides them to the user. The reflecting unit reflects the level of understanding based on the results of the questions created by the creating unit. For example, the reflecting unit can use a generating AI to evaluate the user's learning level and reflect it in the next learning plan. For example, if the user lacks understanding in a particular field, the reflection unit creates a study plan that focuses on that field. The guidance unit guides the user to an appropriate lesson video based on the level of understanding reflected by the reflection unit. The guidance unit can provide appropriate lesson videos and reference materials based on the user's study plan, for example, using a generation AI. For example, the guidance unit guides the user to a lesson video related to a particular mathematics unit or an audio file for English listening practice. This allows the learning support system according to the embodiment to plan a study plan tailored to the user's goals, answer questions, create questions, reflect the user's level of understanding, and guide the user to lesson videos.
[0030] The planning unit creates a study plan according to the user's goal. For example, the planning unit can use the generation AI to create a study plan based on the user's past learning history and test results. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes the user's past learning data and identifies the user's learning progress and strengths and weaknesses. This generates an optimal study plan taking into account the user's current learning situation and the period until the goal is achieved. For example, the generation AI can create a plan to focus on problems and areas that the user was weak at in the past, while creating a plan centered on reviewing areas in which the user is good. In addition, the generation AI can flexibly adjust the study plan to suit the user's learning style and pace. For example, if the user is the type who studies intensively in a short period of time, a short-term intensive study plan can be created, and if the user is the type who studies little by little over a long period of time, a long-term study plan can be created. Furthermore, the generation AI can set the study plan in stages, taking into account the period until the user achieves the goal. For example, if the period until the goal is achieved is set to several months, the goals and study contents to be achieved for each month can be specifically indicated. This allows the user to always grasp his / her own study progress and efficiently study toward the achievement of the goal.
[0031] The answering section answers questions from students based on the learning plan established by the planning section. The answering section can use, for example, a generation AI to answer questions using natural language processing technology. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes questions from users and understands the intent and content of the questions. For example, if a user asks a question about a math problem, the generation AI can analyze the content of the problem and provide an appropriate solution and explanation. The generation AI can also provide more appropriate answers by taking into account the user's past question history and learning situation. For example, if a user has asked a similar question in the past, the generation AI can provide more detailed explanations and additional information by referring to past answers to that question. Furthermore, the generation AI can adjust the difficulty and detail of the answer according to the user's level of understanding. For example, if the user is a beginner, the generation AI can provide basic concepts and simple explanations, and if the user is an advanced learner, the generation AI can provide more advanced explanations and application examples. This allows the answering section to support the user's learning and resolve doubts, thereby improving the efficiency of learning.
[0032] The creation unit creates questions based on the questions answered by the answer unit. The creation unit can adjust the difficulty of the questions according to the user's level of understanding, for example, by using a generation AI. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes the user's past learning data and question history in the answer unit to evaluate the user's level of understanding. This makes it possible to automatically create questions according to the user's level of understanding and provide them to the user. For example, if the user lacks understanding in a particular field, basic questions related to that field are created and practice is provided for the user to deepen their understanding. In addition, if the user shows a high level of understanding in a particular field, application questions and advanced questions related to that field can be created to further deepen the user's understanding. Furthermore, the generation AI can adjust the frequency and difficulty of the questions according to the user's learning pace and goals. For example, if the user studies intensively in a short period of time, many questions can be asked in a short period of time to quickly evaluate the user's level of understanding. On the other hand, if the user studies little by little over a long period of time, questions can be asked in stages over a long period of time to continuously evaluate the user's level of understanding. This allows the creation unit to provide questions according to the user's learning situation and improve the user's level of understanding.
[0033] The reflection unit reflects the degree of understanding based on the results of the questions created by the creation unit. The reflection unit can use, for example, the generation AI to evaluate the user's learning level and reflect it in the next study plan. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes the results of the questions answered by the user and evaluates the user's level of understanding. For example, if the user shows a high rate of correct answers in a specific field, the generation AI can evaluate the user's level of understanding in that field as being high, and the next study plan can reduce the study of that field. On the other hand, if the user shows a low rate of correct answers in a specific field, the generation AI can evaluate the user's level of understanding in that field as being low, and the next study plan can increase the study of that field. Furthermore, the generation AI can create a long-term study plan taking into account the user's learning history and past evaluation results. For example, the generation AI can create a study plan to regularly review areas that the user was weak in in the past. The generation AI can also flexibly adjust the study plan to suit the user's learning pace and goals. For example, if the user wants to achieve a goal in a short period of time, the generation AI can create a plan to study intensively in a short period of time, and if the user wants to study little by little over a long period of time, the generation AI can create a long-term study plan. This allows the reflection unit to accurately evaluate the user's level of understanding and reflect the evaluation in the next study plan, thereby improving the user's study efficiency.
[0034] The guidance unit guides the user to an appropriate lesson video based on the level of understanding reflected by the reflection unit. The guidance unit can provide the user with appropriate lesson videos and reference materials based on the user's learning plan, for example, using a generation AI. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes the user's learning plan and level of understanding, and selects the most suitable lesson videos and reference materials for the user. For example, if the user has a low level of understanding of a particular unit of mathematics, lesson videos and explanatory materials related to that unit can be provided. In addition, if the user needs English listening practice, audio files and videos for listening practice can be provided. Furthermore, the generation AI can customize lesson videos and reference materials according to the user's learning style and preferences. For example, if the user prefers visual learning, lesson videos that make extensive use of figures and graphs can be provided, and if the user prefers auditory learning, lesson videos that focus on audio commentary can be provided. This allows the guidance unit to maximize the user's learning efficiency and support effective learning. Furthermore, the guidance unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the quality of the lesson videos and reference materials provided. For example, if the user provides evaluations and comments on the lesson videos, the content and format of the lesson videos can be improved based on the feedback. This allows the guidance section to always provide the latest and most appropriate study content, and effectively support the user's studies.
[0035] The planning unit can create a study plan based on the user's past learning history and test results. The planning unit creates a study plan based on the user's past learning history and test results, for example. For example, the planning unit generates an optimal study plan taking into account the user's past test results, study time, study content, etc. This makes it possible to create a study plan based on the user's past learning history and test results. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the planning unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the planning unit can input the user's past learning history and test results into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to generate a study plan.
[0036] The answering unit can answer questions using natural language processing technology. The answering unit answers questions using natural language processing technology, for example, using a generation AI. For example, when a user has a question while studying, the answering unit provides an appropriate answer to the question. For example, the answering unit provides a detailed answer to a specific question, such as how to solve a math problem or an explanation of English grammar. This makes it possible to provide an appropriate answer to a question by using natural language processing technology. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the answering unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the answering unit can input a user's question to the generation AI and have the generation AI execute an answer to the question.
[0037] The creation unit can adjust the difficulty of the problem according to the user's level of understanding. The creation unit adjusts the difficulty of the problem according to the user's level of understanding, for example, using a generation AI. For example, the creation unit automatically creates problems according to the user's learning situation and provides them to the user. For example, the creation unit determines the learning level based on the result of the user solving the problem and reflects it in the next learning plan. This makes it possible to adjust the difficulty of the problem according to the user's level of understanding. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the creation unit may be performed, for example, using an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the creation unit inputs the user's learning situation to the generation AI and causes the generation AI to create the problem.
[0038] The reflection unit can evaluate the user's learning level and reflect it in the next learning plan. The reflection unit can use, for example, a generation AI to evaluate the user's learning level and reflect it in the next learning plan. For example, if there is a lack of understanding in a specific field, the reflection unit creates a learning plan that focuses on that field. This makes it possible to evaluate the user's learning level and reflect it in the next learning plan. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reflection unit can be performed, for example, using AI or can be performed without using AI. For example, the reflection unit can input the user's learning level into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to generate the next learning plan.
[0039] The guidance unit can provide appropriate lesson videos and reference materials based on the user's study plan. The guidance unit provides appropriate lesson videos and reference materials based on the user's study plan, for example, using a generation AI. For example, the guidance unit guides the user to lesson videos on a specific math unit, audio files for English listening practice, and the like. This makes it possible to provide lesson videos and reference materials based on the user's study plan. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the guidance unit may be performed, for example, using an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the guidance unit can input the user's study plan into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to perform guidance on appropriate lesson videos and reference materials.
[0040] The planning unit can create a plan tailored to a specific learning style based on the user's past learning history and test results. The planning unit, for example, uses a generation AI to create a plan tailored to a specific learning style (visual, auditory, tactile) based on the user's past learning history and test results. For example, if the user has a visual learning style, the planning unit creates a learning plan that includes a lot of visual materials. Also, if the user has an auditory learning style, the planning unit can create a learning plan that includes a lot of audio materials and podcasts. Also, if the user has a tactile learning style, the planning unit can create a learning plan that includes a lot of practical exercises and hands-on activities. This makes it possible to create a learning plan tailored to a specific learning style. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the planning unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the planning unit can input the user's learning style data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to generate a learning plan.
[0041] The planning unit can propose a study time period in consideration of the user's life rhythm and daily schedule. The planning unit proposes an optimal study time period in consideration of the user's life rhythm and daily schedule, for example, using a generation AI. For example, if the user has a morning-type life rhythm, the planning unit makes a plan to concentrate study in the morning hours. Also, if the user has a night-type life rhythm, the planning unit can make a plan to concentrate study in the evening hours. Also, if the user has an irregular schedule, the planning unit can propose a flexible study time period and proceed with study according to the user's convenience. This makes it possible to propose an optimal study time period based on the user's life rhythm and daily schedule. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the planning unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the planning unit can input the user's life rhythm data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute the proposal of a study time period.
[0042] The planning unit can incorporate region-specific learning resources into the plan, taking into account the geographical location information of the user. The planning unit, for example, uses a generation AI to incorporate region-specific learning resources into the plan, taking into account the geographical location information of the user. For example, if the user lives in an urban area, the planning unit creates a plan that includes many urban learning resources. Also, if the user lives in a rural area, the planning unit can create a plan that includes many regional learning resources. Also, if the user lives overseas, the planning unit can incorporate learning resources that match the language and culture of that area into the plan. This makes it possible to create a learning plan that incorporates region-specific learning resources. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the planning unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the planning unit can input the user's geographical location information into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to incorporate the learning resources.

[0070] The planning unit creates a study plan according to the user's goal. For example, the planning unit can use the generation AI to create a study plan based on the user's past learning history and test results. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes the user's past learning data and identifies the user's learning progress and strengths and weaknesses. This generates an optimal study plan taking into account the user's current learning situation and the period until the goal is achieved. For example, the generation AI can create a plan to focus on problems and areas that the user was weak at in the past, while creating a plan centered on reviewing areas in which the user is good. In addition, the generation AI can flexibly adjust the study plan to suit the user's learning style and pace. For example, if the user is the type who studies intensively in a short period of time, a short-term intensive study plan can be created, and if the user is the type who studies little by little over a long period of time, a long-term study plan can be created. Furthermore, the generation AI can set the study plan in stages, taking into account the period until the user achieves the goal. For example, if the period until the goal is achieved is set to several months, the goals and study contents to be achieved for each month can be specifically indicated. This allows the user to always grasp his / her own study progress and efficiently study toward the achievement of the goal.
[0071] The answering section answers questions from students based on the learning plan established by the planning section.

Specifically, the generation AI analyzes the user's past learning data and question history in the answer unit to evaluate the user's level of understanding. This makes it possible to automatically create questions according to the user's level of understanding and provide them to the user. For example, if the user lacks understanding in a particular field, basic questions related to that field are created and practice is provided for the user to deepen their understanding. In addition, if the user shows a high level of understanding in a particular field, application questions and advanced questions related to that field can be created to further deepen the user's understanding. Furthermore, the generation AI can adjust the frequency and difficulty of the questions according to the user's learning pace and goals. For example, if the user studies intensively in a short period of time, many questions can be asked in a short period of time to quickly evaluate the user's level of understanding. On the other hand, if the user studies little by little over a long period of time, questions can be asked in stages over a long period of time to continuously evaluate the user's level of understanding.

On the other hand, if the user shows a low rate of correct answers in a specific field, the generation AI can evaluate the user's level of understanding in that field as being low, and the next study plan can increase the study of that field. Furthermore, the generation AI can create a long-term study plan taking into account the user's learning history and past evaluation results. For example, the generation AI can create a study plan to regularly review areas that the user was weak in in the past. The generation AI can also flexibly adjust the study plan to suit the user's learning pace and goals. For example, if the user wants to achieve a goal in a short period of time, the generation AI can create a plan to study intensively in a short period of time, and if the user wants to study little by little over a long period of time, the generation AI can create a long-term study plan.

A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating a voice, text data indicating a text, and image data indicating an image (e.g., still image data or video data) is input. The data generation model 58 infers the input inference data according to the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats of voice data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, a text generation AI, an image generation AI, and a multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification processing while using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction, and in this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. 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. The AI other than the generation AI is, for example, a linear regression, a logistic regression, a decision tree, a random forest, a support vector machine (SVM), a k-means clustering, a convolutional neural network (CNN), a recurrent neural network (RNN), a generative adversarial network (GAN), or a naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to such examples. The AI may be an AI agent. In addition, when the processes of each part described above are performed by an AI, the processes are performed in part or in whole by the AI, but are not limited to such examples. In addition, the processes performed by the AI including the generation AI may be replaced with rule-based processes, and the rule-based processes may be replaced with processes performed by the AI including the generation AI.
[0174] 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.
[0175] Each of the multiple elements including the above-mentioned planning unit, answering unit, creation unit, reflection unit, and guidance unit is realized, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the planning unit is realized by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The answering unit is realized, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The creation unit is realized, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The reflection unit is realized, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The guidance unit is realized, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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).
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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."
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
