This system accepts the user's remarks, and the AI analyzes the remarks and suggests a relaxation method. The proposed relaxation method is provided to the user. In addition, it is also possible to recommend consulting a specialist based on the analysis results. For example, if a user says "I've been feeling stressed lately," the content is input to the AI. Next, the AI analyzes the input remarks. The AI analyzes the user's remarks and understands the cause of stress and the emotional state. For example, if a user says "I'm tired because I'm busy at work," the AI analyzes the content and identifies that work is the cause of stress. Based on the analysis results, the AI suggests a relaxation method. For example, if a user says "I want to relax," the AI suggests relaxation methods such as "taking a deep breath" and "listening to music." The proposed relaxation method is provided to the user. For example, a notification of the relaxation method is sent to the user's smartphone. In addition, based on the analysis results, the AI can also recommend consulting a specialist. For example, if a user says, "I can't sleep because I'm so stressed," the AI will recommend consulting a specialist. The recommended specialists are prioritized from those in the user's area. The recommendation is also made taking into consideration the experts' ratings and reviews. This allows users to understand their daily emotions and the causes of stress, and by practicing relaxation methods, they can relax their mind and refresh their mood. In addition, they can receive appropriate mental health care by consulting a specialist if necessary. This allows the AI counselor AI assistant system for mental health support to understand the user's emotions and the causes of stress, suggest relaxation methods, and recommend consulting a specialist if necessary.
[0029] The AI counselor AI assistant system for mental health support according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a proposal unit, a provision unit, and a recommendation unit. The reception unit accepts the user's remarks. The user's remarks include, for example, text, voice, and emotional expressions, but are not limited to such examples. The reception unit converts the user's remarks into text data, for example, using a voice recognition technology. The reception unit can also accept text input. Furthermore, the reception unit can also include a sensor for analyzing the emotional expressions. For example, the reception unit captures the user's facial expression with a camera and estimates the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. The analysis unit uses AI to analyze the remarks accepted by the reception unit. The analysis is performed, for example, using a natural language processing technology or an emotion analysis technology, but are not limited to such examples. For example, the analysis unit extracts keywords from the user's remarks and identifies the cause of stress. The analysis unit can also understand the user's emotional state using emotion analysis technology. The proposal unit proposes a relaxation method based on the analysis result obtained by the analysis unit. Examples of the relaxation method include, but are not limited to, deep breathing, meditation, and music therapy. For example, when the user says "I want to relax," the suggestion unit suggests deep breathing. Also, when the user says "I want to listen to music," the suggestion unit can also suggest music therapy. The provision unit provides the user with the relaxation method suggested by the suggestion unit. Examples of the provision method include, but are not limited to, notifications to a smartphone, guidance by a voice assistant, and cooperation with a smart home device. For example, the provision unit transmits a notification of the relaxation method to the user's smartphone. Also, the provision unit can guide the relaxation method using a voice assistant. Furthermore, the provision unit can cooperate with a smart home device to prepare a relaxing environment. The recommendation unit recommends consulting an expert based on the analysis result obtained by the analysis unit. Examples of the recommendation method include, but are not limited to, a method of taking into account the evaluation and review of an expert, a method of prioritizing an expert in the user's area, and a method of adjusting the recommendation timing based on the user's stress level.For example, the recommendation unit recommends a reliable expert based on the expert's evaluation and review. The recommendation unit can also preferentially recommend experts in the user's area. Furthermore, the recommendation unit can adjust the timing of recommending consultation with an expert based on the user's stress level. In this way, the AI counselor AI assistant system for mental health support according to the embodiment can efficiently analyze the content of the user's remarks and recommend relaxation methods and consultation with an expert.
[0030] The reception unit receives the user's utterance. The user's utterance includes, for example, text, voice, and emotional expression, but is not limited to such examples. The reception unit converts the user's utterance into text data, for example, using a voice recognition technology. Specifically, the voice recognition technology analyzes the user's voice in real time and accurately converts the utterance into text. As a result, the content uttered by the user through voice is instantly recorded as text data. The reception unit can also accept text input. Text data input by the user using a keyboard or touch screen is also accepted in the same way and transmitted to the analysis unit. Furthermore, the reception unit can also include a sensor for analyzing emotional expression. For example, the reception unit captures the user's facial expression with a camera and estimates the emotion using an emotion estimation algorithm. The camera captures the user's face with high resolution and detects subtle changes in the facial expression. The emotion estimation algorithm analyzes the characteristics of the facial expression and estimates the emotional state of the user, such as whether the user is happy, sad, or angry. As a result, the reception unit can grasp not only the user's utterance but also the emotional state at the same time. In addition, the reception unit can analyze voice characteristics such as the tone, speed, and volume of the user's voice to estimate the user's emotional state, which allows for a more accurate understanding of the user's emotional state when speaking.
[0031] The analysis unit uses AI to analyze the content of the remarks received by the reception unit. The analysis is performed, for example, using natural language processing technology and emotion analysis technology, but is not limited to such examples. Specifically, the natural language processing technology is used to extract keywords from the content of the user's remarks and understand the context. For example, if a user remarks, "I've been busy with work recently and I'm stressed," the analysis unit extracts keywords such as "work," "busy," and "stress," and identifies the cause of the user's stress by analyzing the relevance of these keywords. The analysis unit can also understand the user's emotional state using emotion analysis technology. The emotion analysis technology analyzes the content of the user's remarks, voice characteristics, and facial expression data to estimate the emotional state of the user. For example, if the content of the user's remarks contains many negative expressions, the analysis unit can determine that the user is feeling stressed. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also analyze the user's emotional state and stress patterns by referring to past data and the user's history. As a result, the analysis unit can comprehensively analyze the content of the user's remarks and accurately grasp the user's emotional state and the cause of stress.
[0032] The suggestion unit suggests a relaxation method based on the analysis result obtained by the analysis unit. Examples of the relaxation method include, but are not limited to, deep breathing, meditation, and music therapy. Specifically, the suggestion unit selects an optimal relaxation method according to the user's statement and emotional state. For example, if the user says "I want to relax," the suggestion unit suggests deep breathing. Deep breathing is an easy relaxation method that can be performed and has the effect of reducing stress. In addition, if the user says "I want to listen to music," the suggestion unit can also suggest music therapy. Music therapy is a method of achieving a relaxing effect by listening to specific music, and can suggest music according to the user's preferences. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can also suggest an individually customized relaxation method taking into account the user's past history and preferences. For example, if the user liked meditation in the past, the suggestion unit can suggest meditation. As a result, the suggestion unit can suggest an optimal relaxation method according to the user's needs and effectively reduce the user's stress.

The notification includes a detailed explanation of the relaxation method and an implementation procedure, and the user can implement the relaxation method by checking the notification. The providing unit can also guide the relaxation method using a voice assistant. The voice assistant explains the relaxation method to the user by voice and guides the implementation procedure. Furthermore, the providing unit can also prepare a relaxing environment in cooperation with a smart home device. For example, it is possible to adjust smart lighting to create an environment that is easy to relax, or to play relaxing music using a smart speaker. In this way, the providing unit can provide an environment that is easy for the user to implement the relaxation method and support the user's stress reduction. Furthermore, the providing unit can collect user feedback and use it to improve the providing method. For example, by sending feedback evaluating the effect of the relaxation method to the providing unit, the providing unit can optimize the providing method based on the feedback.
[0034] The recommendation unit recommends consulting with an expert based on the analysis result obtained by the analysis unit. The recommendation method includes, for example, a method of considering the evaluation and review of an expert, a method of giving priority to an expert in the user's area, and a method of adjusting the recommendation timing based on the user's stress level, but is not limited to such examples. Specifically, the recommendation unit recommends a reliable expert based on the evaluation and review of the expert. For example, by preferentially recommending experts who have been highly rated by past users, the user can consult with a reliable expert. The recommendation unit can also preferentially recommend experts in the user's area. This allows the user to quickly access nearby experts, lowering the hurdle for consultation. Furthermore, the recommendation unit can also adjust the recommendation timing of consulting with an expert based on the user's stress level. For example, if the user's stress level is high, the recommendation unit recommends consulting with an expert as soon as possible, and if the stress level is low, the recommendation unit recommends regular check-ins. This allows the recommendation unit to recommend consulting with an expert at an appropriate timing according to the user's situation and support the user's mental health. Furthermore, the recommendation unit can improve the recommendation algorithm based on user feedback and make more accurate recommendations.

This makes it possible to provide a notification of a relaxation method at an appropriate timing according to the user's activity status.
[0118] When making recommendations based on the evaluations and reviews of experts, the recommendation unit can filter experts based on the individual needs and preferences of the user. For example, if the user desires an expert in a specific field, experts specializing in that field are recommended with priority. In addition, if the user desires an expert of a specific gender or age, experts who meet those conditions can be recommended. Furthermore, experts to whom the user has given good evaluations in the past can be recommended with priority. In this way, experts according to the individual needs and preferences of the user can be recommended.
[0119] When adjusting the timing of recommending a consultation with a specialist based on the user's stress level, the recommendation unit can optimize the recommendation timing by taking into consideration the user's life rhythm and schedule. For example, if the user is prone to feeling stressed at night, the recommendation unit can recommend a consultation with a specialist at night. Also, if the user is prone to relaxing on weekends, the recommendation unit can recommend a consultation with a specialist on weekends. Furthermore, the recommendation unit can recommend a consultation with a specialist in between work by taking into consideration the user's work schedule. This makes it possible to recommend a consultation with a specialist at an appropriate timing according to the user's life rhythm and schedule.
[0120] When the providing unit cooperates with the user's smart home device to prepare a relaxing environment, the providing unit can set the optimal environment in consideration of the user's preferences and past usage history. For example, if the user liked to listen to a particular piece of music in the past, that music can be played. Also, if the user liked a particular lighting setting in the past, that setting can be applied. Furthermore, if the user liked a particular temperature setting in the past, the temperature can be adjusted to that temperature. This makes it possible to provide an optimal relaxing environment based on the user's preferences and past usage history.
[0121] When suggesting interaction with the user's pet as a relaxation method, the suggestion unit can suggest an optimal interaction method based on the type and personality of the user's pet. For example, if the user has a dog, walking or playing can be suggested. Also, if the user has a cat, petting or brushing can be suggested. Furthermore, if the user has a bird, talking to it or feeding it can be suggested. In this way, it is possible to suggest an optimal interaction method according to the type and personality of the user's pet.
[0122] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of receiving the utterance content based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the reception unit can immediately receive the utterance content and respond quickly. Also, if the user is relaxed, the reception unit can receive the utterance content after a suitable interval. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the reception unit can immediately receive the utterance content and start analyzing it quickly. This makes it possible to receive the utterance content at an appropriate timing according to the user's emotions.
[0123] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way the analysis is expressed based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, a simple and easy-to-understand expression method is used. If the user is relaxed, detailed analysis results can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, analysis results that focus on the main points can be provided. This makes it possible to provide analysis results in an appropriate expression method according to the user's emotions.
[0124] The suggestion unit can estimate the user's emotion and adjust the way of expressing the suggestion based on the estimated user's emotion. For example, if the user is stressed, a concise and easy-to-understand expression is used. If the user is relaxed, a detailed suggestion can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, a suggestion that focuses on the main points can be provided. In this way, the suggestion can be made in an appropriate expression according to the user's emotion.
[0125] The providing unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the method of providing the relaxation method based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, a simple and easy-to-understand relaxation method can be provided. Also, if the user is relaxed, a detailed relaxation method can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, a relaxation method that focuses on the main points can be provided. In this way, a relaxation method can be provided in an appropriate manner according to the user's emotions.
[0126] The process flow of the second embodiment will be briefly described below.
[0127] Step 1: The reception unit receives the user's utterance. The user's utterance includes, for example, text, voice, and emotional expressions. The reception unit converts the user's utterance into text data using voice recognition technology. The reception unit can also receive text input and can be equipped with a sensor for analyzing emotional expressions. For example, the user's facial expression is captured by a camera, and the emotion is estimated using an emotion estimation algorithm. Step 2: The analysis unit uses AI to analyze the content of the comments received by the reception unit. The analysis is performed using natural language processing technology and sentiment analysis technology. For example, keywords are extracted from the user's comments to identify the cause of stress. Sentiment analysis technology can also be used to understand the user's emotional state. Step 3: The suggestion unit suggests a relaxation method based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. The relaxation methods include deep breathing, meditation, music therapy, etc. For example, if the user says "I want to relax," deep breathing is suggested. Also, if the user says "I want to listen to music," music therapy can be suggested. Step 4: The providing unit provides the user with the relaxation method proposed by the suggesting unit. The providing method includes a notification to a smartphone, guidance by a voice assistant, and cooperation with a smart home device. For example, a notification of the relaxation method is sent to the user's smartphone. Also, the relaxation method can be guided using a voice assistant. Furthermore, a relaxing environment can be created by cooperation with a smart home device. Step 5: The recommendation unit recommends consulting an expert based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. Recommendation methods include a method of taking into account the evaluation and reviews of experts, a method of prioritizing experts in the user's area, and a method of adjusting the recommendation timing based on the user's stress level. For example, a highly reliable expert is recommended based on the evaluation and reviews of experts. It is also possible to give priority to the recommendation of experts in the user's area. Furthermore, it is also possible to adjust the recommendation timing of consulting an expert based on the user's stress level.

The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the control target 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0168] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs the voice according to instructions from the processor 46.
[0169] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, an aperture, and a shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS image sensor or a CCD image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (e.g., an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the width of the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0170] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is performed in a secure state.
[0171] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors for driving the arms, hands, and legs. The posture and behavior of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and legs. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.
[0172] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, 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.
[0173] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32, and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0174] 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. In the emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59, various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, are performed, but are not limited to such examples. In addition, the estimation and prediction of the emotion also include, for example, analysis of the emotion.
[0175] In the robot 414, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads out the specific program 60 from the storage 50, and executes the specific program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can also perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0176] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. In addition, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (such as a mobile phone, a robot, or a home appliance) owned by a user.
[0177] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires a voice indicating a user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.
[0178] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] For example, the reception unit is realized by the microphone 238 of the robot 414 and receives the contents of the user's speech. For example, the analysis unit is realized by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and analyzes the contents of the speech received by the reception unit. For example, the suggestion unit is realized by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and suggests a relaxation method based on the analysis result. For example, the provision unit is realized by the speaker 240 of the robot 414 and provides the suggested relaxation method to the user. For example, the recommendation unit is realized by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and recommends consulting a specialist based on the analysis result. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above example, and various changes are possible.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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).
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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."
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] The above description and illustrations are detailed descriptions of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, function, action, and effect is an example of the configuration, function, action, and effect of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replaced with respect to the description and illustrations shown above, within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. In addition, in order to avoid confusion and to facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the description and illustrations shown above omit explanations of technical common sense that do not require particular explanation in enabling the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
