Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) The tourism support system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that suggests tourist spots based on user input, books services, and adjusts the route according to the progress of tourism. When a user inputs "I want to go skiing," this tourism support system has AI suggest places with good snow quality, and then books services such as accommodation and rentals according to the user's request. Furthermore, when a user inputs that they want to go to a specific city, the system suggests tourist spots such as museums and art galleries in that city, automatically plans a route based on the user's input date and time, and presents transportation costs and means of transportation. During the progress of tourism, if an unexpected situation occurs, such as a delay of 30 minutes from the schedule, a suspension of service, or traffic congestion, the AI automatically adjusts the route. For example, when a user inputs "I want to go skiing," this information is sent to the reception unit. Next, there is an analysis unit that analyzes the information received by the reception unit, and the analysis unit analyzes the user's input information and suggests tourist spots. For example, the AI suggests a ski resort with good snow quality. Next, there is a reservation unit that books services based on the proposed information, and when the user decides to go to the proposed ski resort, the reservation unit automatically books services such as accommodation and rentals. Furthermore, there is an adjustment unit that adjusts the route according to the progress of the user's sightseeing. If the user is 30 minutes behind schedule or an unexpected situation such as a suspension or traffic congestion occurs during sightseeing, the adjustment unit automatically adjusts the route. The reception unit also estimates the user's emotions, adjusts the timing of input reception based on the estimated emotions, analyzes past input history to suggest the optimal input method, and automatically completes the input content based on current location information. Furthermore, it analyzes the user's social media activities to suggest related input content, and provides an appropriate input interface based on device information. The analysis unit estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the expression method of the proposed content based on the estimated emotions. This allows the tourism support system to suggest tourist spots based on the user's input, book services, and adjust the route according to the progress of sightseeing.
[0029] The tourism support system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, a proposal unit, a reservation unit, and an adjustment unit. The reception unit accepts user input. The user input includes, but is not limited to, text input, voice input, and image input. For example, when the user inputs "I want to go skiing," the reception unit accepts this information. The proposal unit analyzes the information accepted by the reception unit and proposes tourist spots. The proposal unit analyzes the user's input information, for example, using AI, and proposes tourist spots. For example, when the user inputs "I want to go skiing," the AI proposes a ski resort with good snow quality. The reservation unit reserves services based on the information proposed by the proposal unit. For example, when the user decides to go to the proposed ski resort, the reservation unit automatically reserves services such as accommodation and rental. The adjustment unit adjusts the route according to the progress of the user's sightseeing. For example, when the user is 30 minutes behind schedule during sightseeing, or when an unexpected situation such as a suspension or traffic congestion occurs, the adjustment unit automatically adjusts the route. As a result, the tourism support system according to the embodiment can suggest tourist spots based on the user's input, book services, and adjust the route according to the progress of the tour.
[0030] The reception unit accepts user input. Examples of user input include, but are not limited to, text input, voice input, and image input. Specifically, in the text input, the user can input the desired sightseeing contents using a keyboard or a touch screen. In the voice input, the user dictates the desire through a microphone, and the contents are converted into text using voice recognition technology. In the image input, the user uploads photos of places he or she wants to go to or activities he or she is interested in, and the contents are analyzed using image analysis technology. For example, when the user inputs "I want to go skiing," this information is accepted. In order to process these inputs quickly and accurately, the reception unit utilizes advanced natural language processing technology, voice recognition technology, and image analysis technology. Furthermore, the reception unit can learn the user's past input history and preferences and provide more personalized services. For example, for a user who has requested a ski trip in the past, ski-related suggestions are preferentially displayed. In addition, the reception unit can analyze the user's input contents in real time and request additional information as necessary. For example, for a user who has input "I want to go skiing," the reception unit prepares to make more appropriate suggestions by asking for detailed information such as the desired area, budget, and whether or not there is a companion. This allows the reception unit to respond to a variety of input formats from users and receive information quickly and accurately.
[0031] The suggestion unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit and suggests tourist spots. The suggestion unit, for example, uses AI to analyze the information input by the user and suggests tourist spots. Specifically, the AI uses natural language processing technology to understand the user's input content and searches the database for related tourist spots. For example, if the user inputs "I want to go skiing," the AI analyzes information about ski resorts and suggests ski resorts with good snow quality. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can make more personalized suggestions by taking into account the user's past travel history and preferences. For example, based on data on places visited in the past and tourist spots evaluated, a new ski resort that is likely to be liked by the user is suggested. In addition, the suggestion unit selects the most suitable tourist spot by taking into account real-time data such as season, weather, and event information. For example, if the current weather is good or if an event is being held at a specific ski resort, the suggestion unit makes a suggestion based on that information. Furthermore, the suggestion unit presents multiple options based on the user's input content, allowing the user to select the tourist spot that interests them most. This allows the suggestion unit to quickly and accurately suggest the most suitable tourist spot according to the user's needs.
[0032] The reservation unit reserves services based on the information proposed by the suggestion unit. Specifically, when a user decides to go to a proposed ski resort, the reservation unit automatically reserves services such as accommodation and rentals. The reservation unit acquires reservation information for accommodations, transportation, and activities related to the proposed tourist spot from a database, and selects an optimal plan according to the user's wishes. For example, when a user decides to go to a ski resort, reservations for nearby hotels, ski equipment rental services, and lift tickets can be made all at once. Furthermore, the reservation unit can propose a more personalized reservation plan taking into consideration the user's input contents and past reservation history. For example, based on the accommodations used in the past and the preferred activities, the reservation unit preferentially proposes a plan that is likely to satisfy the user. In addition, the reservation unit checks availability in real time and determines the optimal reservation timing. For example, if a specific accommodation is fully booked, a flexible response according to the user's wishes can be made by suggesting another facility in the vicinity. Furthermore, the reservation unit also responds to changes and cancellations of reservation contents, providing flexible services according to the user's needs. In this way, the reservation unit can smoothly access the proposed tourist spots and support a comfortable travel experience.
[0033] The adjustment unit adjusts the route according to the progress of the user's sightseeing. Specifically, if the user is 30 minutes behind schedule during sightseeing or if an unexpected situation such as a suspension of service or traffic congestion occurs, the route is automatically adjusted. The adjustment unit collects traffic information and weather information in real time to grasp the user's current location and progress. For example, if the user is caught in traffic congestion on the way to a tourist spot, the adjustment unit proposes an alternative route to minimize the delay. In addition, the sightseeing plan can be flexibly changed based on information such as a sudden change in weather or the cancellation of an event. Furthermore, the adjustment unit collects user feedback and optimizes the plan in real time. For example, if a user wants to extend the stay time at a specific tourist spot, the travel time to the next destination is adjusted based on that information. In addition, the adjustment unit can also handle cases where multiple users use the service at the same time and adjust the schedule of the entire group. As a result, the adjustment unit can maximally support the user's sightseeing experience and flexibly respond to unexpected situations. Furthermore, the adjustment unit learns the user's past sightseeing history and preferences, and contributes to optimizing future sightseeing plans. As a result, the adjustment unit can make the user's sightseeing experience more comfortable and smooth, and improve satisfaction.
[0034] The reception unit can analyze the user's past input history and suggest the optimal input method. For example, the reception unit automatically displays tourist spots that the user has frequently input in the past as candidates. The reception unit can also preferentially suggest input methods (such as voice and text) that the user has used in the past. Furthermore, the reception unit can predict and suggest tourist spots to be used in a specific time period from the user's past input history. In this way, the optimal input method can be suggested by analyzing the user's past input history. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's past input data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to suggest the optimal input method.
[0035] The reception unit can automatically complete the input contents based on the user's current location information. For example, when the user opens the app, the reception unit automatically acquires the current location and sets it as the starting point. In addition, when the user inputs a destination, the reception unit can also suggest the optimal candidate location in consideration of the distance from the current location. Furthermore, when the user uses the app while moving, the reception unit can update the current location in real time and reflect it as the starting point. This can reduce the effort of inputting by automatically completing the input contents based on the user's current location information. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's current location data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to automatically complete the input contents.

[0067] The process flow of the first embodiment will be briefly described below.
[0068] Step 1: The reception unit receives user input. User input includes text input, voice input, image input, etc. For example, when the user inputs "I want to go skiing," this information is received. Step 2: The suggestion unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit and suggests tourist spots. For example, if the user inputs "I want to go skiing," the suggestion unit uses AI to analyze the information input by the user and suggests ski resorts with good snow quality. Step 3: The reservation unit reserves services based on the information suggested by the suggestion unit. For example, when the user decides to go to a suggested ski resort, the reservation unit automatically reserves services such as accommodation and rentals. Step 4: The adjustment unit adjusts the route according to the progress of the user's sightseeing. For example, if the user is 30 minutes behind schedule during sightseeing, or if an unexpected situation such as a service suspension or traffic congestion occurs, the route is automatically adjusted.
[0069] (Example 2) The tourism support system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that suggests tourist spots based on user input, books services, and adjusts the route according to the progress of tourism. When a user inputs "I want to go skiing," this tourism support system has AI suggest places with good snow quality, and then books services such as accommodation and rentals according to the user's request. Furthermore, when a user inputs that they want to go to a specific city, the system suggests tourist spots such as museums and art galleries in that city, automatically plans a route based on the user's input date and time, and presents transportation costs and means of transportation. During the progress of tourism, if an unexpected situation occurs, such as a delay of 30 minutes from the schedule, a suspension of service, or traffic congestion, the AI automatically adjusts the route. For example, when a user inputs "I want to go skiing," this information is sent to the reception unit. Next, there is an analysis unit that analyzes the information received by the reception unit, and the analysis unit analyzes the user's input information and suggests tourist spots. For example, the AI suggests a ski resort with good snow quality. Next, there is a reservation unit that books services based on the proposed information, and when the user decides to go to the proposed ski resort, the reservation unit automatically books services such as accommodation and rentals. Furthermore, there is an adjustment unit that adjusts the route according to the progress of the user's sightseeing. If the user is 30 minutes behind schedule or an unexpected situation such as a suspension or traffic congestion occurs during sightseeing, the adjustment unit automatically adjusts the route. The reception unit also estimates the user's emotions, adjusts the timing of input reception based on the estimated emotions, analyzes past input history to suggest the optimal input method, and automatically completes the input content based on current location information. Furthermore, it analyzes the user's social media activities to suggest related input content, and provides an appropriate input interface based on device information. The analysis unit estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the expression method of the proposed content based on the estimated emotions. This allows the tourism support system to suggest tourist spots based on the user's input, book services, and adjust the route according to the progress of sightseeing.
[0070] The tourism support system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, a proposal unit, a reservation unit, and an adjustment unit. The reception unit accepts user input. The user input includes, but is not limited to, text input, voice input, and image input. For example, when the user inputs "I want to go skiing," the reception unit accepts this information. The proposal unit analyzes the information accepted by the reception unit and proposes tourist spots. The proposal unit analyzes the user's input information, for example, using AI, and proposes tourist spots. For example, when the user inputs "I want to go skiing," the AI proposes a ski resort with good snow quality. The reservation unit reserves services based on the information proposed by the proposal unit. For example, when the user decides to go to the proposed ski resort, the reservation unit automatically reserves services such as accommodation and rental. The adjustment unit adjusts the route according to the progress of the user's sightseeing. For example, when the user is 30 minutes behind schedule during sightseeing, or when an unexpected situation such as a suspension or traffic congestion occurs, the adjustment unit automatically adjusts the route. As a result, the tourism support system according to the embodiment can suggest tourist spots based on the user's input, book services, and adjust the route according to the progress of the tour.
[0071] The reception unit accepts user input. Examples of user input include, but are not limited to, text input, voice input, and image input. Specifically, in the text input, the user can input the desired sightseeing contents using a keyboard or a touch screen. In the voice input, the user dictates the desire through a microphone, and the contents are converted into text using voice recognition technology. In the image input, the user uploads photos of places he or she wants to go to or activities he or she is interested in, and the contents are analyzed using image analysis technology. For example, when the user inputs "I want to go skiing," this information is accepted. In order to process these inputs quickly and accurately, the reception unit utilizes advanced natural language processing technology, voice recognition technology, and image analysis technology. Furthermore, the reception unit can learn the user's past input history and preferences and provide more personalized services. For example, for a user who has requested a ski trip in the past, ski-related suggestions are preferentially displayed. In addition, the reception unit can analyze the user's input contents in real time and request additional information as necessary. For example, for a user who has input "I want to go skiing," the reception unit prepares to make more appropriate suggestions by asking for detailed information such as the desired area, budget, and whether or not there is a companion. This allows the reception unit to respond to a variety of input formats from users and receive information quickly and accurately.
[0072] The suggestion unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit and suggests tourist spots. The suggestion unit, for example, uses AI to analyze the information input by the user and suggests tourist spots. Specifically, the AI uses natural language processing technology to understand the user's input content and searches the database for related tourist spots. For example, if the user inputs "I want to go skiing," the AI analyzes information about ski resorts and suggests ski resorts with good snow quality. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can make more personalized suggestions by taking into account the user's past travel history and preferences. For example, based on data on places visited in the past and tourist spots evaluated, a new ski resort that is likely to be liked by the user is suggested. In addition, the suggestion unit selects the most suitable tourist spot by taking into account real-time data such as season, weather, and event information. For example, if the current weather is good or if an event is being held at a specific ski resort, the suggestion unit makes a suggestion based on that information. Furthermore, the suggestion unit presents multiple options based on the user's input content, allowing the user to select the tourist spot that interests them most. This allows the suggestion unit to quickly and accurately suggest the most suitable tourist spot according to the user's needs.
[0073] The reservation unit reserves services based on the information proposed by the suggestion unit. Specifically, when a user decides to go to a proposed ski resort, the reservation unit automatically reserves services such as accommodation and rentals. The reservation unit acquires reservation information for accommodations, transportation, and activities related to the proposed tourist spot from a database, and selects an optimal plan according to the user's wishes. For example, when a user decides to go to a ski resort, reservations for nearby hotels, ski equipment rental services, and lift tickets can be made all at once. Furthermore, the reservation unit can propose a more personalized reservation plan taking into consideration the user's input contents and past reservation history. For example, based on the accommodations used in the past and the preferred activities, the reservation unit preferentially proposes a plan that is likely to satisfy the user. In addition, the reservation unit checks availability in real time and determines the optimal reservation timing. For example, if a specific accommodation is fully booked, a flexible response according to the user's wishes can be made by suggesting another facility in the vicinity. Furthermore, the reservation unit also responds to changes and cancellations of reservation contents, providing flexible services according to the user's needs. In this way, the reservation unit can smoothly access the proposed tourist spots and support a comfortable travel experience.
[0074] The adjustment unit adjusts the route according to the progress of the user's sightseeing. Specifically, if the user is 30 minutes behind schedule during sightseeing or if an unexpected situation such as a suspension of service or traffic congestion occurs, the route is automatically adjusted. The adjustment unit collects traffic information and weather information in real time to grasp the user's current location and progress. For example, if the user is caught in traffic congestion on the way to a tourist spot, the adjustment unit proposes an alternative route to minimize the delay. In addition, the sightseeing plan can be flexibly changed based on information such as a sudden change in weather or the cancellation of an event. Furthermore, the adjustment unit collects user feedback and optimizes the plan in real time. For example, if a user wants to extend the stay time at a specific tourist spot, the travel time to the next destination is adjusted based on that information. In addition, the adjustment unit can also handle cases where multiple users use the service at the same time and adjust the schedule of the entire group. As a result, the adjustment unit can maximally support the user's sightseeing experience and flexibly respond to unexpected situations. Furthermore, the adjustment unit learns the user's past sightseeing history and preferences, and contributes to optimizing future sightseeing plans. As a result, the adjustment unit can make the user's sightseeing experience more comfortable and smooth, and improve satisfaction.
[0075] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotion and adjust the timing of input reception based on the estimated emotion. For example, when the user is stressed, the reception unit delays the timing of input reception to provide time for the user to relax. In addition, when the user is excited, the reception unit can quickly accept input and immediately make a suggestion. Furthermore, when the user is tired, the reception unit can adjust the timing of input reception and provide an easy input method. In this way, by adjusting the timing of input reception according to the user's emotion, it is possible to accept input at a more appropriate timing. The estimation of emotion is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is, for example, a text generation AI (for example, LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's facial expression data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to execute emotion estimation.
[0076] The reception unit can analyze the user's past input history and suggest the optimal input method. For example, the reception unit automatically displays tourist spots that the user has frequently input in the past as candidates. The reception unit can also preferentially suggest input methods (such as voice and text) that the user has used in the past. Furthermore, the reception unit can predict and suggest tourist spots to be used in a specific time period from the user's past input history. In this way, the optimal input method can be suggested by analyzing the user's past input history. A part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's past input data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to suggest the optimal input method.
[0077] The reception unit can automatically complete the input contents based on the user's current location information. For example, when the user opens the app, the reception unit automatically acquires the current location and sets it as the starting point. In addition, when the user inputs a destination, the reception unit can also suggest the optimal candidate location in consideration of the distance from the current location. Furthermore, when the user uses the app while moving, the reception unit can update the current location in real time and reflect it as the starting point. This can reduce the effort of inputting by automatically completing the input contents based on the user's current location information. Part or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed, for example, using AI or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's current location data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to automatically complete the input contents.
[0078] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotion and determine the priority of the input contents based on the estimated emotion. For example, when the user is in a hurry, the reception unit preferentially displays important input contents. In addition, the reception unit can also provide detailed input options when the user is relaxed. Furthermore, the reception unit can preferentially display simple input contents when the user is stressed. In this way, important contents can be preferentially displayed by determining the priority of the input contents according to the user's emotion. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function using, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI is a text generation AI (for example, LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples.

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.

[0175] 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.
[0176] For example, the reception unit is realized by the microphone 238 of the robot 414 and receives voice input from the user. The suggestion unit is realized by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and analyzes the input information of the user using AI and suggests tourist spots. The reservation unit is realized by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and automatically reserves services such as accommodation and rentals based on the proposed information.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] These emotions are distributed in the three 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.
[0180] 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).
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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."
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
