[0004] In modern society, many people use multiple pairs of glasses to accommodate different viewing distances. This situation arises because different glasses are needed for multiple purposes, such as close-up viewing, distance viewing, and use at different distances for PCs and smartphones. Furthermore, prolonged close-up work strains the ciliary body's accommodation function for extended periods, increasing eye fatigue. Users with such vision problems require a versatile vision correction method that can accommodate a variety of viewing distances. Conventional technology has not fully resolved these issues, and new technical solutions are needed to eliminate user inconvenience. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a system including a sensor means for measuring a user's visual distance in real time, a communication means for transmitting the measured visual distance data to a server, an AI algorithm means on the server for calculating vision correction data based on the transmitted visual distance data, a data transmission means on the server for transmitting the calculated vision correction data to a user terminal, and a lens control means for automatically adjusting lenses based on the received vision correction data. This system eliminates the need for users to carry multiple pairs of glasses and reduces the burden of vision adjustment. By measuring the visual distance in real time and performing optimal vision correction using an AI algorithm, it is possible to provide a comfortable field of view at different visual distances. As a result, it is possible to reduce eye fatigue caused by long periods of close-up work, improving the user's quality of life.

[0037] This invention is an AI eyeglass system that automatically performs optimal vision correction according to the user's viewing distance. Specific embodiments for implementing this system will be described below.
[0038] overview
[0039] This system consists of a user terminal (eyeglasses device), a server, and a sensor device. Its purpose is to correct vision in real time based on the user's viewing distance when looking at different distances (close to home, PC, long distance, medium distance, etc.).
[0040] User terminal operation
[0041] The system starts operating when the user puts on the glasses. The user device has a built-in sensor for measuring visual distance, which detects the user's line of sight and focal length in real time. The detected visual distance data is sent to the server via the communication means in the user device.
[0042] Server Processing
[0043] The server receives the viewing distance data transmitted from the user terminal. The received data is analyzed by an AI algorithm on the server, and vision correction data is calculated. This calculation is performed to provide appropriate vision correction in real time according to the user's viewing distance. The calculated vision correction data is then transmitted back to the user terminal by the server's data transmission means.
[0044] Automatic lens adjustment
[0045] The user terminal receives the vision correction data sent from the server. Based on the received data, the lens control means built into the glasses operates and automatically adjusts the lenses to the appropriate focal length. This allows the user to comfortably see close-up and long-distance objects.
[0046] Specific examples
[0047] Example 1: When looking at your hands
[0048] User: When reading a newspaper, keep your eyes on the screen.
[0049] Terminal: The sensor detects that the viewing distance is close (approximately 30 cm) and sends that data to the server.
[0050] Server: Receives the visual distance data and calculates the appropriate near-distance vision correction data using an AI algorithm. Then, resends the data to the user device.
[0051] Device: Automatically adjusts the lens for close distances based on the received correction data.
[0052] Example 2: When looking into the distance
[0053] User: When looking at a distant scene, look into the distance.
[0054] Terminal: The sensor detects that the viewing distance is long (approximately 5m or more) and sends that data to the server.
[0055] Server: Receives the visual distance data and calculates the appropriate long-distance vision correction data using an AI algorithm. Then, resends the data to the user device.
[0056] Terminal: Automatically adjusts the lens for long distances based on the received correction data.
[0057] In this way, the system can automatically provide appropriate vision correction in real time according to the user's viewing distance, eliminating the need for multiple pairs of glasses and ensuring that the user always has a comfortable field of vision.
[0058] Instructions for use
[0059] 1. The user puts on the glasses.
[0060] 2. The sensor measures the viewing distance.
[0061] 3. The viewing distance data is sent to the server.
[0062] 4. The server calculates the vision correction data and sends it to the user's device.
[0063] 5. The user device adjusts the lens.
[0064] 6. Make sure the user looks comfortable.
[0065] By using this system, users can always receive optimal vision correction and reduce eye strain caused by long periods of close-up work.
[0066] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0067] Step 1:
[0068] The moment the user puts on the glasses, the sensor device activates and begins measuring the user's gaze direction and focal length in real time.
[0069] Step 2:
[0070] The device collects viewing distance data from sensors, which includes gaze direction and focal length, providing an accurate measurement of the distance to the object the user is looking at.
[0071] Step 3:
[0072] The device sends the collected visual distance data to the server using a communication method, and the data arrives immediately without delay.
[0073] Step 4:
[0074] The server receives the visual distance data sent from the user terminal. This data is information indicating the distance at which the line of sight is focused.
[0075] Step 5:
[0076] The server then analyzes the received visual distance data using an AI algorithm, which takes into account past data and usage patterns to calculate optimal vision correction data.
[0077] Step 6:
[0078] The server transmits the calculated vision correction data to the user terminal using the data transmission means, which indicates how the lenses should be adjusted.
[0079] Step 7:
[0080] The device receives vision correction data sent from the server, and based on this data, the lens is automatically adjusted to the appropriate focal length instantly.
[0081] Step 8:
[0082] Users can comfortably view objects close up and at a distance, and because vision correction occurs in real time, users can always maintain optimal vision for different viewing distances.
[0083] Step 9:
[0084] When the user changes their line of sight again, for example, moving their gaze away from the object in front of them, the entire process returns to step 1 and is carried out automatically. This allows the user to maintain a comfortable field of vision at all times without having to adjust their glasses themselves.
[0085] Example 1
[0086] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0087] Conventional eyeglass systems have the problem of being inconvenient, as users must wear different glasses for each different viewing distance, such as for something close to them, a PC, long-distance viewing, or medium-distance viewing.In addition, there is also the problem of eyestrain caused by prolonged close-up work, as vision correction is not performed appropriately according to the viewing distance.
[0088] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

This allows the user to automatically perform vision correction for different visual distances in real time, eliminating the need for multiple glasses.

[0101] The system begins operation when the user puts on the glasses. The user device is equipped with a built-in sensor for measuring visual distance, which detects the user's line of sight and focal length in real time. Specifically, it uses ToF (Time-of-Flight) technology to obtain the focal length of the line of sight in milliseconds. The detected visual distance data is sent to a server via a built-in communication method (e.g., Bluetooth or Wi-Fi). This communication is kept secure by encrypting the data.
[0102] Server Processing
[0103] The server receives the visual distance data sent from the user device. The received data is analyzed by an AI algorithm (for example, a deep learning model using TensorFlow or PyTorch) running on the server. The AI algorithm uses a pre-trained vision correction model to calculate the optimal lens focal length in real time. The calculated vision correction data is then retransmitted to the user device via the server's data transmission means. This transmission is also encrypted and carried out via secure communication.
[0104] Automatic lens adjustment
[0105] The user terminal receives the vision correction data sent from the server. Based on the received data, the built-in lens control means (e.g., an electrically adjustable liquid crystal lens) operates and automatically adjusts the lens to the appropriate focal length.

[0262] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[0263] This invention is an AI glasses system that automatically performs optimal vision correction according to the user's viewing distance and also recognizes the user's emotions to provide an optimal field of view. Specific embodiments for implementing this system are described below.
[0264] overview
[0265] This system consists of a user terminal (eyeglasses device), a server, a sensor device, and an emotion engine. It aims to not only correct vision in real time based on the user's viewing distance when looking at something at different viewing distances, but also to suggest optimal vision correction according to the user's emotions.
[0266] User terminal operation
[0267] The system begins operation when the user puts on the glasses. The user device is equipped with a sensor that measures visual distance and an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. The system detects the user's gaze direction and focal length, as well as facial expressions, voice, and heart rate, and collects visual distance and emotion data in real time.
[0268] Sending data
[0269] The user device sends the collected visual distance data and emotion data to the server using a communication method, and the data arrives immediately without delay.
[0270] Server Processing
[0271] The server receives the viewing distance data and emotion data transmitted from the user terminal, where the viewing distance data indicates the distance to an object the user is looking at, and the emotion data indicates the user's current emotional state.
[0272] Analysis by AI algorithm
[0273] The AI algorithm on the server analyzes the received viewing distance data and emotional data and calculates vision correction data. The AI algorithm not only performs appropriate vision correction based on the user's viewing distance, but also takes emotional data into account to suggest vision correction that the user finds most comfortable.
[0274] Sending correction data
[0275] The server sends the calculated vision correction data to the user terminal, which indicates how the lenses should be adjusted.
[0276] Automatic lens adjustment
[0277] The user terminal receives the vision correction data sent from the server, and the built-in lens control means of the glasses immediately operates to automatically adjust the lenses to the appropriate focal length, allowing the user to obtain a comfortable field of vision.
[0278] Specific examples
[0279] Example 1: When looking at your hands
[0280] User: I feel a little stressed while reading a book.
[0281] Terminal: Detects the viewing distance as close (approximately 30 cm) and senses the stress felt by the user from their facial expression.
[0282] Server: Receives visual distance data and "stress" emotion data, and uses an AI algorithm to calculate vision correction data for close distances and with an emphasis on stress reduction.
[0283] Terminal: Based on the received correction data, the lens is adjusted for close distances and vision correction is performed to reduce stress.
[0284] Example 2: When looking into the distance
[0285] User: I want to see the scenery in the distance, but I'm a little tired.
[0286] Terminal: Detects the viewing distance as long (approximately 5m or more) and senses "fatigue" from the user's facial expression and heart rate.
[0287] Server: Receives visual distance data and "fatigue" emotion data, and uses an AI algorithm to calculate vision correction data for long distances and to reduce fatigue.
[0288] Terminal: Based on the received correction data, the lenses are adjusted for long distances and vision correction is performed to reduce fatigue.
[0289] In this way, this system automatically performs appropriate vision correction in real time according to the user's viewing distance and can also optimize the correction taking into account the user's emotions, allowing the user to always maintain a comfortable field of vision and reduce eye and mental strain.
[0290] Instructions for use
[0291] 1. The user puts on the glasses.
[0292] 2. Sensors and emotion engines measure visual distance and emotion data.
[0293] 3. The viewing distance data and emotion data are sent to the server.
[0294] 4. The server calculates the vision correction data and sends it to the user's device.
[0295] 5. The user device adjusts the lens.
[0296] 6. Make sure the user looks comfortable.
[0297] By using this system, users can always receive optimal vision correction and maintain a comfortable field of vision that even takes their emotions into consideration.
[0298] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0299] Step 1:
[0300] The user puts on the glasses. This triggers the system to start up, and the sensor device and emotion engine begin to operate.
[0301] Step 2:
[0302] The device uses built-in sensors to measure gaze direction and focal length, allowing it to detect the distance of the object the user is looking at in real time.
[0303] Step 3:
[0304] The device recognizes the user's emotions using an emotion engine, which collects data from multiple sensors, including facial expressions, voice, and heart rate, to analyze the user's emotional state.
[0305] Step 4:
[0306] The device transmits the collected visual distance data and emotion data to the server using a communication method. These data are integrated into a single packet and are delivered to the server immediately.
[0307] Step 5:
[0308] The server receives the viewing distance data and emotion data sent from the user terminal. The received data indicates the gaze direction, focal length, and the user's emotional state.
[0309] Step 6:
[0310] The AI algorithm on the server analyzes the received viewing distance data and emotional data, calculates appropriate vision correction data based on the user's viewing distance, and then adjusts the optimal vision correction value taking into account the emotional data.
[0311] Step 7:
[0312] The server transmits the calculated vision correction data to the user terminal using the data transmission means. The vision correction data is information indicating how the lens should be adjusted.
[0313] Step 8:
[0314] The terminal receives the vision correction data sent from the server. Based on the received data, the lens control means starts operation and automatically adjusts the lens to the appropriate focal length.
[0315] Step 9:
[0316] The system ensures that users can see objects close to them and at a distance for comfortable viewing. Vision correction is performed in real time, ensuring users always have optimal vision for different viewing distances. Furthermore, vision correction adjusts to the user's emotional state, reducing stress and fatigue.
[0317] Step 10:
[0318] If the user changes their gaze again, the change in gaze direction and emotional state is detected, and the whole process starts again from step 2. This allows the user to dynamically and continuously receive optimal vision correction.
[0319] Example 2
[0320] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0321] While conventional vision correction systems can correct a user's vision based on their viewing distance, they are unable to provide optimal vision correction by taking into account the user's emotional state. As a result, when a user is stressed or tired, optimal vision correction is not provided, resulting in an inability to achieve comfortable vision. Furthermore, conventional systems suffer from delays in the entire process from measuring viewing distance data to adjusting lenses, making it difficult to provide real-time vision correction.
[0322] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

This enables real-time vision correction that simultaneously takes into account the user's viewing distance and emotional state.

[0468] This invention is an AI eyeglass system that automatically performs optimal vision correction according to the user's viewing distance. Specific embodiments for implementing this system will be described below.
[0469] overview
[0470] This system consists of a user terminal (eyeglasses device), a server, and a sensor device. Its purpose is to correct vision in real time based on the user's viewing distance when looking at different distances (close to home, PC, long distance, medium distance, etc.).
[0471] User terminal operation
[0472] The system starts operating when the user puts on the glasses. The user device has a built-in sensor for measuring visual distance, which detects the user's line of sight and focal length in real time. The detected visual distance data is sent to the server via the communication means in the user device.
[0473] Server Processing
[0474] The server receives the viewing distance data transmitted from the user terminal. The received data is analyzed by an AI algorithm on the server, and vision correction data is calculated. This calculation is performed to provide appropriate vision correction in real time according to the user's viewing distance. The calculated vision correction data is then transmitted back to the user terminal by the server's data transmission means.
[0475] Automatic lens adjustment
[0476] The user terminal receives the vision correction data sent from the server. Based on the received data, the lens control means built into the glasses operates and automatically adjusts the lenses to the appropriate focal length. This allows the user to comfortably see close-up and long-distance objects.
[0477] Specific examples
[0478] Example 1: When looking at your hands
[0479] User: When reading a newspaper, keep your eyes on the screen.
[0480] Terminal: The sensor detects that the viewing distance is close (approximately 30 cm) and sends that data to the server.
[0481] Server: Receives the visual distance data and calculates the appropriate near-distance vision correction data using an AI algorithm. Then, resends the data to the user device.
[0482] Device: Automatically adjusts the lens for close distances based on the received correction data.
[0483] Example 2: When looking into the distance
[0484] User: When looking at a distant scene, look into the distance.
[0485] Terminal: The sensor detects that the viewing distance is long (approximately 5m or more) and sends that data to the server.
[0486] Server: Receives the visual distance data and calculates the appropriate long-distance vision correction data using an AI algorithm. Then, resends the data to the user device.
[0487] Terminal: Automatically adjusts the lens for long distances based on the received correction data.
[0488] In this way, the system can automatically provide appropriate vision correction in real time according to the user's viewing distance, eliminating the need for multiple pairs of glasses and ensuring that the user always has a comfortable field of vision.
[0489] Instructions for use
[0490] 1. The user puts on the glasses.
[0491] 2. The sensor measures the viewing distance.
[0492] 3. The viewing distance data is sent to the server.
[0493] 4. The server calculates the vision correction data and sends it to the user's device.
[0494] 5. The user device adjusts the lens.
[0495] 6. Make sure the user looks comfortable.
[0496] By using this system, users can always receive optimal vision correction and reduce eye strain caused by long periods of close-up work.
[0497] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0498] Step 1:
[0499] The moment the user puts on the glasses, the sensor device activates and begins measuring the user's gaze direction and focal length in real time.
[0500] Step 2:
[0501] The device collects viewing distance data from sensors, which includes gaze direction and focal length, providing an accurate measurement of the distance to the object the user is looking at.
[0502] Step 3:
[0503] The device sends the collected visual distance data to the server using a communication method, and the data arrives immediately without delay.
[0504] Step 4:
[0505] The server receives the visual distance data sent from the user terminal. This data is information indicating the distance at which the line of sight is focused.
[0506] Step 5:
[0507] The server then analyzes the received visual distance data using an AI algorithm, which takes into account past data and usage patterns to calculate optimal vision correction data.
[0508] Step 6:
[0509] The server transmits the calculated vision correction data to the user terminal using the data transmission means, which indicates how the lenses should be adjusted.
[0510] Step 7:
[0511] The device receives vision correction data sent from the server, and based on this data, the lens is automatically adjusted to the appropriate focal length instantly.
[0512] Step 8:
[0513] Users can comfortably view objects close up and at a distance, and because vision correction occurs in real time, users can always maintain optimal vision for different viewing distances.
[0514] Step 9:
[0515] When the user changes their line of sight again, for example, moving their gaze away from the object in front of them, the entire process returns to step 1 and is carried out automatically. This allows the user to maintain a comfortable field of vision at all times without having to adjust their glasses themselves.
[0516] Example 1
[0517] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0518] Conventional eyeglass systems have the problem of being inconvenient, as users must wear different glasses for each different viewing distance, such as for something close to them, a PC, long-distance viewing, or medium-distance viewing.In addition, there is also the problem of eyestrain caused by prolonged close-up work, as vision correction is not performed appropriately according to the viewing distance.

[0720] In this way, this system automatically performs appropriate vision correction in real time according to the user's viewing distance and can also optimize the correction taking into account the user's emotions, allowing the user to always maintain a comfortable field of vision and reduce eye and mental strain.
[0721] Instructions for use
[0722] 1. The user puts on the glasses.
[0723] 2. Sensors and emotion engines measure visual distance and emotion data.
[0724] 3. The viewing distance data and emotion data are sent to the server.
[0725] 4. The server calculates the vision correction data and sends it to the user's device.
[0726] 5. The user device adjusts the lens.
[0727] 6. Make sure the user looks comfortable.
[0728] By using this system, users can always receive optimal vision correction and maintain a comfortable field of vision that even takes their emotions into consideration.
[0729] The processing flow will be explained below.
[0730] Step 1:
[0731] The user puts on the glasses. This triggers the system to start up, and the sensor device and emotion engine begin to operate.
[0732] Step 2:
[0733] The device uses built-in sensors to measure gaze direction and focal length, allowing it to detect the distance of the object the user is looking at in real time.
[0734] Step 3:
[0735] The device recognizes the user's emotions using an emotion engine, which collects data from multiple sensors, including facial expressions, voice, and heart rate, to analyze the user's emotional state.
[0736] Step 4:
[0737] The device transmits the collected visual distance data and emotion data to the server using a communication method. These data are integrated into a single packet and are delivered to the server immediately.
[0738] Step 5:
[0739] The server receives the viewing distance data and emotion data sent from the user terminal. The received data indicates the gaze direction, focal length, and the user's emotional state.
[0740] Step 6:
[0741] The AI algorithm on the server analyzes the received viewing distance data and emotional data, calculates appropriate vision correction data based on the user's viewing distance, and then adjusts the optimal vision correction value taking into account the emotional data.
[0742] Step 7:
[0743] The server transmits the calculated vision correction data to the user terminal using the data transmission means. The vision correction data is information indicating how the lens should be adjusted.
[0744] Step 8:
[0745] The terminal receives the vision correction data sent from the server. Based on the received data, the lens control means starts operation and automatically adjusts the lens to the appropriate focal length.
[0746] Step 9:
[0747] The system ensures that users can see objects close to them and at a distance for comfortable viewing. Vision correction is performed in real time, ensuring users always have optimal vision for different viewing distances. Furthermore, vision correction adjusts to the user's emotional state, reducing stress and fatigue.
[0748] Step 10:
[0749] If the user changes their gaze again, the change in gaze direction and emotional state is detected, and the whole process starts again from step 2. This allows the user to dynamically and continuously receive optimal vision correction.
[0750] Example 2
[0751] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart glasses 214 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[0752] While conventional vision correction systems can correct a user's vision based on their viewing distance, they are unable to provide optimal vision correction by taking into account the user's emotional state. As a result, when a user is stressed or tired, optimal vision correction is not provided, resulting in an inability to achieve comfortable vision. Furthermore, conventional systems suffer from delays in the entire process from measuring viewing distance data to adjusting lenses, making it difficult to provide real-time vision correction.

This enables real-time vision correction that simultaneously takes into account the user's viewing distance and emotional state.
[0755] "Sensor means" is a device for measuring the user's viewing distance in real time.
[0756] The "emotion recognition means" is a device for analyzing the user's facial expressions, voice, heart rate, etc. to obtain emotional data.

[0900] overview
[0901] This system consists of a user terminal (eyeglasses device), a server, and a sensor device. Its purpose is to correct vision in real time based on the user's viewing distance when looking at different distances (close to home, PC, long distance, medium distance, etc.).
[0902] User terminal operation
[0903] The system starts operating when the user puts on the glasses. The user device has a built-in sensor for measuring visual distance, which detects the user's line of sight and focal length in real time. The detected visual distance data is sent to the server via the communication means in the user device.
[0904] Server Processing
[0905] The server receives the viewing distance data transmitted from the user terminal. The received data is analyzed by an AI algorithm on the server, and vision correction data is calculated. This calculation is performed to provide appropriate vision correction in real time according to the user's viewing distance. The calculated vision correction data is then transmitted back to the user terminal by the server's data transmission means.
[0906] Automatic lens adjustment
[0907] The user terminal receives the vision correction data sent from the server. Based on the received data, the lens control means built into the glasses operates and automatically adjusts the lenses to the appropriate focal length. This allows the user to comfortably see close-up and long-distance objects.

[0909] Example 1: When looking at your hands
[0910] User: When reading a newspaper, keep your eyes on the screen.
[0911] Terminal: The sensor detects that the viewing distance is close (approximately 30 cm) and sends that data to the server.
[0912] Server: Receives the visual distance data and calculates the appropriate near-distance vision correction data using an AI algorithm. Then, resends the data to the user device.
[0913] Device: Automatically adjusts the lens for close distances based on the received correction data.
[0914] Example 2: When looking into the distance
[0915] User: When looking at a distant scene, look into the distance.
[0916] Terminal: The sensor detects that the viewing distance is long (approximately 5m or more) and sends that data to the server.
[0917] Server: Receives the visual distance data and calculates the appropriate long-distance vision correction data using an AI algorithm. Then, resends the data to the user device.
[0918] Terminal: Automatically adjusts the lens for long distances based on the received correction data.

[0935] Step 4:
[0936] The server receives the visual distance data sent from the user terminal. This data is information indicating the distance at which the line of sight is focused.
[0937] Step 5:
[0938] The server then analyzes the received visual distance data using an AI algorithm, which takes into account past data and usage patterns to calculate optimal vision correction data.
[0939] Step 6:
[0940] The server transmits the calculated vision correction data to the user terminal using the data transmission means, which indicates how the lenses should be adjusted.

[0942] The device receives vision correction data sent from the server, and based on this data, the lens is automatically adjusted to the appropriate focal length instantly.
[0943] Step 8:
[0944] Users can comfortably view objects close up and at a distance, and because vision correction occurs in real time, users can always maintain optimal vision for different viewing distances.
[0945] Step 9:
[0946] When the user changes their line of sight again, for example, moving their gaze away from the object in front of them, the entire process returns to step 1 and is carried out automatically. This allows the user to maintain a comfortable field of vision at all times without having to adjust their glasses themselves.

[1125] This invention is an AI glasses system that automatically performs optimal vision correction according to the user's viewing distance and also recognizes the user's emotions to provide an optimal field of view. Specific embodiments for implementing this system are described below.
[1126] overview
[1127] This system consists of a user terminal (eyeglasses device), a server, a sensor device, and an emotion engine. It aims to not only correct vision in real time based on the user's viewing distance when looking at something at different viewing distances, but also to suggest optimal vision correction according to the user's emotions.

[1134] Analysis by AI algorithm
[1135] The AI algorithm on the server analyzes the received viewing distance data and emotional data and calculates vision correction data. The AI algorithm not only performs appropriate vision correction based on the user's viewing distance, but also takes emotional data into account to suggest vision correction that the user finds most comfortable.
[1136] Sending correction data
[1137] The server sends the calculated vision correction data to the user terminal, which indicates how the lenses should be adjusted.
[1138] Automatic lens adjustment

[1140] Specific examples
[1141] Example 1: When looking at your hands
[1142] User: I feel a little stressed while reading a book.
[1143] Terminal: Detects the viewing distance as close (approximately 30 cm) and senses the stress felt by the user from their facial expression.
[1144] Server: Receives visual distance data and "stress" emotion data, and uses an AI algorithm to calculate vision correction data for close distances and with an emphasis on stress reduction.
[1145] Terminal: Based on the received correction data, the lens is adjusted for close distances and vision correction is performed to reduce stress.
[1146] Example 2: When looking into the distance
[1147] User: I want to see the scenery in the distance, but I'm a little tired.
[1148] Terminal: Detects the viewing distance as long (approximately 5m or more) and senses "fatigue" from the user's facial expression and heart rate.
[1149] Server: Receives visual distance data and "fatigue" emotion data, and uses an AI algorithm to calculate vision correction data for long distances and to reduce fatigue.
[1150] Terminal: Based on the received correction data, the lenses are adjusted for long distances and vision correction is performed to reduce fatigue.
[1151] In this way, this system automatically performs appropriate vision correction in real time according to the user's viewing distance and can also optimize the correction taking into account the user's emotions, allowing the user to always maintain a comfortable field of vision and reduce eye and mental strain.
[1152] Instructions for use
[1153] 1. The user puts on the glasses.
[1154] 2. Sensors and emotion engines measure visual distance and emotion data.

[1159] By using this system, users can always receive optimal vision correction and maintain a comfortable field of vision that even takes their emotions into consideration.
[1160] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1161] Step 1:
[1162] The user puts on the glasses. This triggers the system to start up, and the sensor device and emotion engine begin to operate.
[1163] Step 2:
[1164] The device uses built-in sensors to measure gaze direction and focal length, allowing it to detect the distance of the object the user is looking at in real time.
[1165] Step 3:
[1166] The device recognizes the user's emotions using an emotion engine, which collects data from multiple sensors, including facial expressions, voice, and heart rate, to analyze the user's emotional state.
[1167] Step 4:
[1168] The device transmits the collected visual distance data and emotion data to the server using a communication method. These data are integrated into a single packet and are delivered to the server immediately.
[1169] Step 5:
[1170] The server receives the viewing distance data and emotion data sent from the user terminal. The received data indicates the gaze direction, focal length, and the user's emotional state.
[1171] Step 6:
[1172] The AI algorithm on the server analyzes the received viewing distance data and emotional data, calculates appropriate vision correction data based on the user's viewing distance, and then adjusts the optimal vision correction value taking into account the emotional data.
[1173] Step 7:
[1174] The server transmits the calculated vision correction data to the user terminal using the data transmission means. The vision correction data is information indicating how the lens should be adjusted.
[1175] Step 8:
[1176] The terminal receives the vision correction data sent from the server. Based on the received data, the lens control means starts operation and automatically adjusts the lens to the appropriate focal length.
[1177] Step 9:
[1178] The system ensures that users can see objects close to them and at a distance for comfortable viewing. Vision correction is performed in real time, ensuring users always have optimal vision for different viewing distances. Furthermore, vision correction adjusts to the user's emotional state, reducing stress and fatigue.
[1179] Step 10:
[1180] If the user changes their gaze again, the change in gaze direction and emotional state is detected, and the whole process starts again from step 2. This allows the user to dynamically and continuously receive optimal vision correction.
[1181] Example 2
[1182] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the headset type terminal 314 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1183] While conventional vision correction systems can correct a user's vision based on their viewing distance, they are unable to provide optimal vision correction by taking into account the user's emotional state. As a result, when a user is stressed or tired, optimal vision correction is not provided, resulting in an inability to achieve comfortable vision. Furthermore, conventional systems suffer from delays in the entire process from measuring viewing distance data to adjusting lenses, making it difficult to provide real-time vision correction.
[1184] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.

This enables real-time vision correction that simultaneously takes into account the user's viewing distance and emotional state.

[1331] This invention is an AI eyeglass system that automatically performs optimal vision correction according to the user's viewing distance. Specific embodiments for implementing this system will be described below.
[1332] overview
[1333] This system consists of a user terminal (eyeglasses device), a server, and a sensor device. Its purpose is to correct vision in real time based on the user's viewing distance when looking at different distances (close to home, PC, long distance, medium distance, etc.).
[1334] User terminal operation
[1335] The system starts operating when the user puts on the glasses. The user device has a built-in sensor for measuring visual distance, which detects the user's line of sight and focal length in real time. The detected visual distance data is sent to the server via the communication means in the user device.
[1336] Server Processing
[1337] The server receives the viewing distance data transmitted from the user terminal. The received data is analyzed by an AI algorithm on the server, and vision correction data is calculated. This calculation is performed to provide appropriate vision correction in real time according to the user's viewing distance. The calculated vision correction data is then transmitted back to the user terminal by the server's data transmission means.
[1338] Automatic lens adjustment
[1339] The user terminal receives the vision correction data sent from the server. Based on the received data, the lens control means built into the glasses operates and automatically adjusts the lenses to the appropriate focal length. This allows the user to comfortably see close-up and long-distance objects.
[1340] Specific examples
[1341] Example 1: When looking at your hands
[1342] User: When reading a newspaper, keep your eyes on the screen.
[1343] Terminal: The sensor detects that the viewing distance is close (approximately 30 cm) and sends that data to the server.
[1344] Server: Receives the visual distance data and calculates the appropriate near-distance vision correction data using an AI algorithm. Then, resends the data to the user device.
[1345] Device: Automatically adjusts the lens for close distances based on the received correction data.
[1346] Example 2: When looking into the distance
[1347] User: When looking at a distant scene, look into the distance.
[1348] Terminal: The sensor detects that the viewing distance is long (approximately 5m or more) and sends that data to the server.
[1349] Server: Receives the visual distance data and calculates the appropriate long-distance vision correction data using an AI algorithm. Then, resends the data to the user device.
[1350] Terminal: Automatically adjusts the lens for long distances based on the received correction data.
[1351] In this way, the system can automatically provide appropriate vision correction in real time according to the user's viewing distance, eliminating the need for multiple pairs of glasses and ensuring that the user always has a comfortable field of vision.
[1352] Instructions for use
[1353] 1. The user puts on the glasses.
[1354] 2. The sensor measures the viewing distance.
[1355] 3. The viewing distance data is sent to the server.
[1356] 4. The server calculates the vision correction data and sends it to the user's device.
[1357] 5. The user device adjusts the lens.
[1358] 6. Make sure the user looks comfortable.
[1359] By using this system, users can always receive optimal vision correction and reduce eye strain caused by long periods of close-up work.
[1360] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1361] Step 1:
[1362] The moment the user puts on the glasses, the sensor device activates and begins measuring the user's gaze direction and focal length in real time.
[1363] Step 2:
[1364] The device collects viewing distance data from sensors, which includes gaze direction and focal length, providing an accurate measurement of the distance to the object the user is looking at.
[1365] Step 3:
[1366] The device sends the collected visual distance data to the server using a communication method, and the data arrives immediately without delay.
[1367] Step 4:
[1368] The server receives the visual distance data sent from the user terminal. This data is information indicating the distance at which the line of sight is focused.
[1369] Step 5:
[1370] The server then analyzes the received visual distance data using an AI algorithm, which takes into account past data and usage patterns to calculate optimal vision correction data.
[1371] Step 6:
[1372] The server transmits the calculated vision correction data to the user terminal using the data transmission means, which indicates how the lenses should be adjusted.
[1373] Step 7:
[1374] The device receives vision correction data sent from the server, and based on this data, the lens is automatically adjusted to the appropriate focal length instantly.
[1375] Step 8:
[1376] Users can comfortably view objects close up and at a distance, and because vision correction occurs in real time, users can always maintain optimal vision for different viewing distances.
[1377] Step 9:
[1378] When the user changes their line of sight again, for example, moving their gaze away from the object in front of them, the entire process returns to step 1 and is carried out automatically. This allows the user to maintain a comfortable field of vision at all times without having to adjust their glasses themselves.
[1379] Example 1
[1380] Next, a description will be given of Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1381] Conventional eyeglass systems have the problem of being inconvenient, as users must wear different glasses for each different viewing distance, such as for something close to them, a PC, long-distance viewing, or medium-distance viewing.In addition, there is also the problem of eyestrain caused by prolonged close-up work, as vision correction is not performed appropriately according to the viewing distance.
[1382] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the first embodiment is realized by the following means.

The detected visual distance data is sent to a server via a built-in communication method (e.g., Bluetooth or Wi-Fi). This communication is kept secure by encrypting the data.
[1396] Server Processing
[1397] The server receives the visual distance data sent from the user device. The received data is analyzed by an AI algorithm (for example, a deep learning model using TensorFlow or PyTorch) running on the server. The AI algorithm uses a pre-trained vision correction model to calculate the optimal lens focal length in real time. The calculated vision correction data is then retransmitted to the user device via the server's data transmission means. This transmission is also encrypted and carried out via secure communication.
[1398] Automatic lens adjustment
[1399] The user terminal receives the vision correction data sent from the server. Based on the received data, the built-in lens control means (e.g., an electrically adjustable liquid crystal lens) operates and automatically adjusts the lens to the appropriate focal length. This allows the user to comfortably view close-up and distant objects.

[1508] Example 1: Task at hand
[1509] When an operator inspects a precision part in his or her hand, he or she focuses his or her gaze on the part.
[1510] The gaze sensor measures the visual distance of the hand and sends the data to the server.

[1556] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.
[1557] This invention is an AI glasses system that automatically performs optimal vision correction according to the user's viewing distance and also recognizes the user's emotions to provide an optimal field of view. Specific embodiments for implementing this system are described below.
[1558] overview
[1559] This system consists of a user terminal (eyeglasses device), a server, a sensor device, and an emotion engine. It aims to not only correct vision in real time based on the user's viewing distance when looking at something at different viewing distances, but also to suggest optimal vision correction according to the user's emotions.
[1560] User terminal operation
[1561] The system begins operation when the user puts on the glasses. The user device is equipped with a sensor that measures visual distance and an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions. The system detects the user's gaze direction and focal length, as well as facial expressions, voice, and heart rate, and collects visual distance and emotion data in real time.
[1562] Sending data
[1563] The user device sends the collected visual distance data and emotion data to the server using a communication method, and the data arrives immediately without delay.
[1564] Server Processing
[1565] The server receives the viewing distance data and emotion data transmitted from the user terminal, where the viewing distance data indicates the distance to an object the user is looking at, and the emotion data indicates the user's current emotional state.
[1566] Analysis by AI algorithm
[1567] The AI algorithm on the server analyzes the received viewing distance data and emotional data and calculates vision correction data. The AI algorithm not only performs appropriate vision correction based on the user's viewing distance, but also takes emotional data into account to suggest vision correction that the user finds most comfortable.
[1568] Sending correction data
[1569] The server sends the calculated vision correction data to the user terminal, which indicates how the lenses should be adjusted.
[1570] Automatic lens adjustment
[1571] The user terminal receives the vision correction data sent from the server, and the built-in lens control means of the glasses immediately operates to automatically adjust the lenses to the appropriate focal length, allowing the user to obtain a comfortable field of vision.
[1572] Specific examples
[1573] Example 1: When looking at your hands
[1574] User: I feel a little stressed while reading a book.
[1575] Terminal: Detects the viewing distance as close (approximately 30 cm) and senses the stress felt by the user from their facial expression.
[1576] Server: Receives visual distance data and "stress" emotion data, and uses an AI algorithm to calculate vision correction data for close distances and with an emphasis on stress reduction.
[1577] Terminal: Based on the received correction data, the lens is adjusted for close distances and vision correction is performed to reduce stress.
[1578] Example 2: When looking into the distance
[1579] User: I want to see the scenery in the distance, but I'm a little tired.
[1580] Terminal: Detects the viewing distance as long (approximately 5m or more) and senses "fatigue" from the user's facial expression and heart rate.
[1581] Server: Receives visual distance data and "fatigue" emotion data, and uses an AI algorithm to calculate vision correction data for long distances and to reduce fatigue.
[1582] Terminal: Based on the received correction data, the lenses are adjusted for long distances and vision correction is performed to reduce fatigue.
[1583] In this way, this system automatically performs appropriate vision correction in real time according to the user's viewing distance and can also optimize the correction taking into account the user's emotions, allowing the user to always maintain a comfortable field of vision and reduce eye and mental strain.
[1584] Instructions for use
[1585] 1. The user puts on the glasses.
[1586] 2. Sensors and emotion engines measure visual distance and emotion data.
[1587] 3. The viewing distance data and emotion data are sent to the server.
[1588] 4. The server calculates the vision correction data and sends it to the user's device.
[1589] 5. The user device adjusts the lens.
[1590] 6. Make sure the user looks comfortable.
[1591] By using this system, users can always receive optimal vision correction and maintain a comfortable field of vision that even takes their emotions into consideration.
[1592] The processing flow will be explained below.
[1593] Step 1:
[1594] The user puts on the glasses. This triggers the system to start up, and the sensor device and emotion engine begin to operate.
[1595] Step 2:
[1596] The device uses built-in sensors to measure gaze direction and focal length, allowing it to detect the distance of the object the user is looking at in real time.
[1597] Step 3:
[1598] The device recognizes the user's emotions using an emotion engine, which collects data from multiple sensors, including facial expressions, voice, and heart rate, to analyze the user's emotional state.
[1599] Step 4:
[1600] The device transmits the collected visual distance data and emotion data to the server using a communication method. These data are integrated into a single packet and are delivered to the server immediately.
[1601] Step 5:
[1602] The server receives the viewing distance data and emotion data sent from the user terminal. The received data indicates the gaze direction, focal length, and the user's emotional state.
[1603] Step 6:
[1604] The AI algorithm on the server analyzes the received viewing distance data and emotional data, calculates appropriate vision correction data based on the user's viewing distance, and then adjusts the optimal vision correction value taking into account the emotional data.
[1605] Step 7:
[1606] The server transmits the calculated vision correction data to the user terminal using the data transmission means. The vision correction data is information indicating how the lens should be adjusted.
[1607] Step 8:
[1608] The terminal receives the vision correction data sent from the server. Based on the received data, the lens control means starts operation and automatically adjusts the lens to the appropriate focal length.
[1609] Step 9:
[1610] The system ensures that users can see objects close to them and at a distance for comfortable viewing. Vision correction is performed in real time, ensuring users always have optimal vision for different viewing distances. Furthermore, vision correction adjusts to the user's emotional state, reducing stress and fatigue.
[1611] Step 10:
[1612] If the user changes their gaze again, the change in gaze direction and emotional state is detected, and the whole process starts again from step 2. This allows the user to dynamically and continuously receive optimal vision correction.

[1614] Next, a description will be given of Example 2. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the robot 414 will be referred to as a "terminal."
[1615] While conventional vision correction systems can correct a user's vision based on their viewing distance, they are unable to provide optimal vision correction by taking into account the user's emotional state. As a result, when a user is stressed or tired, optimal vision correction is not provided, resulting in an inability to achieve comfortable vision. Furthermore, conventional systems suffer from delays in the entire process from measuring viewing distance data to adjusting lenses, making it difficult to provide real-time vision correction.
[1616] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the second embodiment is realized by the following means.
[1617] In this invention, the server includes a sensor means for measuring the user's viewing distance in real time, an emotion recognition means for recognizing emotion data along with the viewing distance, a communication means for transmitting the measured viewing distance data and emotion data to the server, an AI algorithm means on the server for calculating vision correction data based on the transmitted viewing distance data and emotion data, a data transmission means on the server for transmitting the calculated vision correction data to the user terminal, and a lens control means for automatically adjusting the lens based on the received vision correction data. This enables real-time vision correction that simultaneously takes into account the user's viewing distance and emotional state.
[1618] "Sensor means" is a device for measuring the user's viewing distance in real time.
[1619] The "emotion recognition means" is a device for analyzing the user's facial expressions, voice, heart rate, etc. to obtain emotional data.
[1620] The "communication means" is a device for transmitting the measured viewing distance data and emotion data to the server.
[1621] The "AI algorithm means" is software for calculating vision correction data based on visual distance data and emotional data on a server.
[1622] The "data transmission means of the server" is a device for transmitting calculated vision correction data to the user terminal.
[1623] The "lens control means" is a device for automatically adjusting the lenses based on the received vision correction data.
[1624] A "user terminal" is a glasses-type device worn by a user.
[1625] This invention is an AI glasses system that automatically performs optimal vision correction according to the user's viewing distance and also recognizes the user's emotions to provide an optimal field of view. Next, specific embodiments for implementing this system will be described.

[1723] The system of an autonomous vehicle is equipped with a means to issue a warning via voice or display notification if it determines that the user is experiencing high levels of stress or fatigue, thereby assisting the driver in driving safely.
[1724] Specific examples
[1725] Example of visual distance and emotion data collection
[1726] When the user is wearing the smart glasses, the visual distance is detected as approximately 0.35m, the heart rate is detected as 85, and the emotion is detected as "stressed."
[1727] Vision correction and warning examples
[1728] The server receives this data and generates vision correction data and a warning to "take a break." This data is sent to the user's terminal, and the user is notified to take a break and the lenses are adjusted.
[1729] Prompt Sentence Examples
[1730] "If the user is tired, generate an alert to relax with vision correction: Analyze the data of visual distance 0.35m, heart rate 85, and emotion 'stressed' to suggest the necessary vision correction and display recommended actions to reduce fatigue."
[1731] This system will enable drivers in self-driving vehicles to accurately correct their vision while detecting stress and fatigue, supporting safe driving.
[1732] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[1733] Step 1:
[1734] The system starts working when the user puts on the smart glasses. The glasses' built-in visual distance sensor and emotion sensors (heart rate, facial expression recognition) collect data as input. This results in visual distance data and emotion data. The output is the collected visual distance data and emotion data.
[1735] Step 2:
[1736] The device sends the collected viewing distance data and emotion data to the server using a communication method. The viewing distance data and emotion data obtained in step 1 are used as input. The data is sent to the server in real time via a secure protocol (e.g., HTTPS). The output is the viewing distance data and emotion data sent to the server.
[1737] Step 3:
[1738] The server analyzes the received viewing distance data and emotion data. The inputs are the transmitted viewing distance data and emotion data. An AI algorithm (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) on the server calculates vision correction data based on these data. The AI algorithm performs vision correction appropriate for the user's viewing distance and generates correction data that reduces stress and fatigue based on the emotion data. The output is the calculated vision correction data.
[1739] Step 4:
[1740] The server sends the calculated vision correction data to the user terminal. The input is the vision correction data generated in step 3. The data is sent via the Internet as a transmission method. The output is the vision correction data sent to the user terminal.
[1741] Step 5:
[1742] The user terminal operates the lens control means based on the vision correction data received from the server to automatically adjust the lens. The input is the vision correction data received from the server. The focal length of the lens is automatically adjusted based on the vision correction data. The output is the adjusted lens.
[1743] Step 6:
[1744] The server also takes into account the user's emotional state (stress, fatigue) and activates a means to issue a warning if necessary. Emotional data is used as input. If a certain threshold is exceeded, an audio or visual warning is given to the user. The output is a warning notification.
[1745] This process flow allows the user to always receive optimal vision correction while also receiving warnings to ensure safe driving.
[1746] 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 voice indicating a user input regarding 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.
[1747] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet Search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. 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 voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization.
[1748] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.
[1749] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[1750] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating 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. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and actions arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion includes both affect and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[1751] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction on emotion map 400, and typically 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.
[1752] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on in the mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further you go outside emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[1753] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. Emotions can also be created for robots, automobiles, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on Voice Emotion Recognition and Emotional Brain Physiological Signal Analysis Systems, Tokushima University, Doctoral Dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "reaction" domain, where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "situation" domain, where situational awareness is dominant.
[1754] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is a negative emotion on the situation side, around the middle of "repentance" or "reflection." In other words, this occurs 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 a positive emotion on the response side, around "desire." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[1755] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple pieces of training data that are combinations of 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, "relieved," "calm," and "reassuring," have similar emotion values.
[1756] The system according to the present disclosure has been described above mainly with respect to the functions of the data processing device 12, but the system according to the present disclosure is not necessarily implemented on a server. The system according to the present disclosure may be implemented as a general information processing system. The present disclosure may be implemented, for example, as a software program running on a personal computer or an application running on a smartphone, etc. The method according to the present disclosure may be provided to users in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service).
[1757] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by one computer 22, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be distributed and performed by a plurality of computers including the computer 22. For example, the data generation model 58 may be provided in an external device of the data processing device 12, and data may be generated in the external device in accordance with input data.
[1758] 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 USB (Universal Serial Bus) 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.
[1759] Alternatively, 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 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[1760] 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.
[1761] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following processors: An example of a processor is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. Another example of a processor is a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.
[1762] The hardware resource that executes the specific processing may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with 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 processing may be a single processor.
[1763] As an example of a system configured with a single 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 system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an 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.
[1764] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
