Furthermore, in this specification, the same concept as "A and / or B" is also applied when three or more things are expressed connected by "and / or."

[0016] [First embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0017] 1, a data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0018] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0019] The smart device 14 includes a computer 36, a reception device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication I / F 44. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The reception device 38, the output device 40, and the camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0020] The reception device 38 includes a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and receives user input. The touch panel 38A detects contact with a pointer (for example, a pen or a finger) to receive user input by the touch of the pointer. The microphone 38B detects the user's voice to receive user input by voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 (see FIG. 2) acquires the data indicating the user input.

[0022] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 control the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54.

[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0024] 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. 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 process 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.

[0025] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[0026] In the smart device 14, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used together with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10.

Note that the smart device 14 may have a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59.

[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) The general-purpose API system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that can connect any systems using simple language. This system has two modes: "FIX mode," which instantly converts spoken commands into a conventional API format, and "Flexible mode," which allows OLAs to automatically execute commands even with unknown systems whose API specifications are unknown, and allows them to be called and linked together by coordinating call methods, etc. This allows the general-purpose API system to efficiently and flexibly realize inter-system linkages.

[0029] The general-purpose API system according to the embodiment includes a command analysis unit, an API conversion unit, and a collaboration unit. The command analysis unit analyzes spoken commands. For example, the command analysis unit converts spoken commands into text using speech recognition technology. The command analysis unit can also analyze the intent of commands using natural language processing technology. The command analysis unit can also improve analysis accuracy by referring to a user's past command history. The API conversion unit converts commands analyzed by the command analysis unit into API calls. For example, the API conversion unit converts commands into a REST API format. The API conversion unit can also convert commands into a SOAP API format. The API conversion unit can also generate API calls based on a specific protocol. The collaboration unit realizes collaboration between systems using the API calls generated by the API conversion unit. For example, the collaboration unit performs data collaboration between a database and an application. The collaboration unit can also realize data exchange between different systems. The collaboration unit can also realize real-time collaboration between systems. As a result, the general-purpose API system according to the embodiment can analyze spoken commands and convert them into API calls to realize collaboration between systems. For example, if a user commands "get the latest record from the database," the command analysis unit analyzes the command, the API conversion unit converts it into an appropriate API call, and the collaboration unit retrieves the latest record from the database.

[0030] The command analysis unit can refer to the user's past command history and generate API calls with higher accuracy. For example, the command analysis unit uses the generation AI to retrieve the user's past command history from a database and compare it with the current command. For example, if there was a past command to "get the latest record from the database," when a similar command is entered again, the optimal API call is generated by referring to the past API calls. In this way, by referring to the past command history, more accurate API calls can be generated.

[0031] The command analysis unit can automatically refer to related documents and manuals when analyzing commands. For example, when the generation AI analyzes a command, the command analysis unit automatically searches for related documents and manuals to obtain information to understand the user's intention. For example, for the command "Get the latest record from the database," the command analysis unit will refer to the database operation manual. This improves the accuracy of command analysis by referring to related documents and manuals.

[0032] The command analysis unit can handle commands in different languages, promoting international use. For example, the command analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze commands in different languages ​​and generate appropriate API calls. For example, it can handle multiple languages, such as English, French, and Chinese, promoting international use. This makes it possible to handle commands in different languages, promoting international use.

[0033] The command analysis unit can handle not only voice input but also multimodal input such as gesture and gaze input. For example, the generation AI in the command analysis unit analyzes multimodal input such as voice input, gesture input, and gaze input, and generates an appropriate API call. For example, if a user inputs a command using hand movements, the movement is analyzed and an API call is generated. This allows the system to handle not only voice input but also multimodal input such as gesture and gaze input.

[0034] The summary generation unit can refer to background information and topic models to understand the context. For example, when the generation AI creates a summary, the summary generation unit automatically collects related background information and refers to it to understand the context. For example, it collects related news articles and academic papers. The summary generation unit also uses topic models to understand the context when the generation AI creates a summary. For example, it extracts related keywords and phrases based on the topic model. The summary generation unit also references related background information and topic models when the generation AI creates a summary, building a system for understanding the context. For example, it automatically collects related information and reflects it in the summary. This enables more accurate summaries by referring to background information and topic models to understand the context.

[0035] The summary generation unit can analyze the logical structure of an answer and the development of the arguments to generate a logical summary. For example, the summary generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the logical structure of an answer and generate a logical summary. For example, it analyzes the development of arguments and logical consistency and reflects this in the summary. The summary generation unit also analyzes the development of arguments in an answer and builds a system in which the generation AI generates a logical summary. For example, it generates a summary based on the importance and relevance of arguments. The summary generation unit also develops an algorithm for the generation AI to analyze the logical structure of an answer and the development of arguments to generate a logical summary. For example, it evaluates the logical consistency and the importance of arguments. This makes it possible to generate a logical summary by analyzing the logical structure of an answer and the development of arguments in a question.

[0036] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0037] When analyzing user commands, the command analysis unit can learn and predict the user's past behavioral patterns. For example, if a user frequently issues a specific command during a specific time period, the unit can predict that a similar command will be input during that time period and prepare an API call in advance. Also, if a user frequently uses a specific system, the unit can prioritize the generation of API calls related to that system. This allows the unit to learn and predict user behavioral patterns, enabling faster and more efficient generation of API calls.

[0038] When analyzing a user's command, the command parser understands the context of the command and can generate an appropriate API call. For example, if a user commands, "Get yesterday's sales data," the command parser understands the temporal context of "yesterday" and generates an appropriate API call. Similarly, if a user commands, "Send the latest report," the command parser understands the relative context of "latest" and can generate an appropriate API call. By understanding the context of the command, it is possible to generate API calls with greater accuracy.

[0039] When analyzing a user's command, the command parser can refer to related external data sources and generate more accurate API calls. For example, if a user commands "Get the latest weather information," the command parser can refer to an external weather information database and generate an appropriate API call. Similarly, if a user commands "Get stock price information," the command parser can refer to an external stock price information database and generate an appropriate API call. This makes it possible to generate more accurate API calls by referencing related external data sources.

[0040] When analyzing user commands, the command analysis unit determines the priority of the commands and can prioritize processing of commands with higher importance. For example, if a user commands "Send an urgent report," the command analysis unit analyzes the keyword "urgent" and generates an API call with priority. Also, if a user commands "Get the data later," the command analysis unit can analyze the keyword "later" and set a lower priority. This makes it possible to determine the priority of commands and prioritize processing of commands with higher importance.

[0041] When analyzing a user command, the command analysis unit can feed back the execution results of the command and reflect them in the next command analysis. For example, if a user commands "Get the latest records from the database," the execution results are recorded and used as reference the next time a similar command is entered. Similarly, if a user commands "Send a report," the execution results can be fed back and reflected in the next command analysis. This allows for the generation of more accurate API calls by feeding back the execution results of the command and reflecting them in the next command analysis.

[0042] When analyzing user commands, the command analyzer can optimize the command execution time and generate efficient API calls. For example, if a user commands "Get the latest records from the database," the command analyzer will calculate the optimal execution time and generate an efficient API call. Also, if a user commands "Send a report," the command analyzer will calculate the optimal execution time and generate an efficient API call. This makes it possible to optimize command execution time and generate efficient API calls.

[0043] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0044] Step 1: The command analysis unit analyzes the spoken command. For example, it converts the spoken command into text using speech recognition technology and analyzes the intent of the command using natural language processing technology. It can also improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to the user's past command history. Step 2: The API conversion unit converts the commands analyzed by the command analysis unit into API calls. For example, it can convert them into REST API format or SOAP API format and generate API calls based on a specific protocol. Step 3: The integration unit uses the API calls generated by the API conversion unit to realize integration between systems, such as data integration between databases and applications, data exchange between different systems, and real-time integration between systems.

[0045] (Example 2) The general-purpose API system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that can connect any systems using simple language. This system has two modes: "FIX mode," which instantly converts spoken commands into a conventional API format, and "Flexible mode," which allows OLAs to automatically execute commands even with unknown systems whose API specifications are unknown, and allows them to be called and linked together by coordinating call methods, etc. This allows the general-purpose API system to efficiently and flexibly realize inter-system linkages.

[0046] The general-purpose API system according to the embodiment includes a command analysis unit, an API conversion unit, and a collaboration unit. The command analysis unit analyzes spoken commands. For example, the command analysis unit converts spoken commands into text using speech recognition technology. The command analysis unit can also analyze the intent of commands using natural language processing technology. The command analysis unit can also improve analysis accuracy by referring to a user's past command history. The API conversion unit converts commands analyzed by the command analysis unit into API calls. For example, the API conversion unit converts commands into a REST API format. The API conversion unit can also convert commands into a SOAP API format. The API conversion unit can also generate API calls based on a specific protocol. The collaboration unit realizes collaboration between systems using the API calls generated by the API conversion unit. For example, the collaboration unit performs data collaboration between a database and an application. The collaboration unit can also realize data exchange between different systems. The collaboration unit can also realize real-time collaboration between systems. As a result, the general-purpose API system according to the embodiment can analyze spoken commands and convert them into API calls to realize collaboration between systems. For example, if a user commands "get the latest record from the database," the command analysis unit analyzes the command, the API conversion unit converts it into an appropriate API call, and the collaboration unit retrieves the latest record from the database.

[0047] The command analysis unit can refer to the user's past command history and generate API calls with higher accuracy. For example, the command analysis unit uses the generation AI to retrieve the user's past command history from a database and compare it with the current command. For example, if there was a past command to "get the latest record from the database," when a similar command is entered again, the optimal API call is generated by referring to the past API calls. In this way, by referring to the past command history, more accurate API calls can be generated.

[0048] The command analysis unit can automatically refer to related documents and manuals when analyzing commands. For example, when the generation AI analyzes a command, the command analysis unit automatically searches for related documents and manuals to obtain information to understand the user's intention. For example, for the command "Get the latest record from the database," the command analysis unit will refer to the database operation manual. This improves the accuracy of command analysis by referring to related documents and manuals.

[0049] The command analysis unit can use the emotion estimation function to analyze the user's emotional state and generate API calls that elicit positive emotions. For example, the command analysis unit uses a generation AI to estimate emotions from the user's voice or text and generate API calls that elicit positive emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the unit suggests a simple and quick API call. This makes it possible to analyze the user's emotional state and generate API calls that elicit positive emotions.

[0050] The command analysis unit can handle commands in different languages, promoting international use. For example, the command analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze commands in different languages ​​and generate appropriate API calls. For example, it can handle multiple languages, such as English, French, and Chinese, promoting international use. This makes it possible to handle commands in different languages, promoting international use.

[0051] The command analysis unit can handle not only voice input but also multimodal input such as gesture and gaze input. For example, the generation AI in the command analysis unit analyzes multimodal input such as voice input, gesture input, and gaze input, and generates an appropriate API call. For example, if a user inputs a command using hand movements, the movement is analyzed and an API call is generated. This allows the system to handle not only voice input but also multimodal input such as gesture and gaze input.

[0052] The command analysis unit uses the emotion estimation function to analyze the user's emotions in real time when entering commands and provide appropriate feedback. For example, the command analysis unit uses a generative AI to analyze emotions from the user's voice or text in real time and provide appropriate feedback. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it will suggest a simple and quick API call. This allows the user's emotions in real time when entering commands to be analyzed and appropriate feedback to be provided.

[0053] The summary generation unit can refer to background information and topic models to understand the context. For example, when the generation AI creates a summary, the summary generation unit automatically collects related background information and refers to it to understand the context. For example, it collects related news articles and academic papers. The summary generation unit also uses topic models to understand the context when the generation AI creates a summary. For example, it extracts related keywords and phrases based on the topic model. The summary generation unit also references related background information and topic models when the generation AI creates a summary, building a system for understanding the context. For example, it automatically collects related information and reflects it in the summary. This enables more accurate summaries by referring to background information and topic models to understand the context.

[0054] The summary generation unit can analyze the logical structure of an answer and the development of the arguments to generate a logical summary. For example, the summary generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the logical structure of an answer and generate a logical summary. For example, it analyzes the development of arguments and logical consistency and reflects this in the summary. The summary generation unit also analyzes the development of arguments in an answer and builds a system in which the generation AI generates a logical summary. For example, it generates a summary based on the importance and relevance of arguments. The summary generation unit also develops an algorithm for the generation AI to analyze the logical structure of an answer and the development of arguments to generate a logical summary. For example, it evaluates the logical consistency and the importance of arguments. This makes it possible to generate a logical summary by analyzing the logical structure of an answer and the development of arguments in a question.

[0055] The summary generation unit uses the emotion estimation function to generate a summary that captures the emotional nuances of the answer, allowing the emotional elements to be reflected in the evaluation. For example, when the generation AI summarizes, the summary generation unit uses the emotion estimation function to capture the emotional nuances of the answer. For example, it generates a summary based on an emotion score. The summary generation unit also uses the emotion estimation function to build a system in which the generation AI reflects the emotional elements of the answer in the evaluation. For example, it performs the evaluation based on the emotion score. The summary generation unit also develops an algorithm for the generation AI to use the emotion estimation function to generate a summary that captures the emotional nuances of the answer. For example, it generates a summary based on the emotion score and reflects that in the evaluation. In this way, by generating a summary that captures the emotional nuances, the emotional elements can also be reflected in the evaluation.

[0056] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0057] When analyzing user commands, the command analysis unit can learn and predict the user's past behavioral patterns. For example, if a user frequently issues a specific command during a specific time period, the unit can predict that a similar command will be input during that time period and prepare an API call in advance. Also, if a user frequently uses a specific system, the unit can prioritize the generation of API calls related to that system. This allows the unit to learn and predict user behavioral patterns, enabling faster and more efficient generation of API calls.

[0058] When analyzing a user's command, the command parser understands the context of the command and can generate an appropriate API call. For example, if a user commands, "Get yesterday's sales data," the command parser understands the temporal context of "yesterday" and generates an appropriate API call. Similarly, if a user commands, "Send the latest report," the command parser understands the relative context of "latest" and can generate an appropriate API call. By understanding the context of the command, it is possible to generate API calls with greater accuracy.

[0059] When analyzing a user's command, the command parser can refer to related external data sources and generate more accurate API calls. For example, if a user commands "Get the latest weather information," the command parser can refer to an external weather information database and generate an appropriate API call. Similarly, if a user commands "Get stock price information," the command parser can refer to an external stock price information database and generate an appropriate API call. This makes it possible to generate more accurate API calls by referencing related external data sources.

[0060] The command analyzer uses the emotion estimation function to analyze the user's emotional state and generate API calls that alleviate negative emotions. For example, if the user is feeling frustrated, the command analyzer generates a quick and accurate API call to alleviate the user's frustration. Also, if the user is tired, the command analyzer can suggest a simple and intuitive API call to reduce the user's burden. This allows the system to analyze the user's emotional state and generate API calls that alleviate negative emotions.

[0061] The command analysis unit can use the emotion estimation function to analyze the user's emotional state and generate API calls that will improve the user's motivation. For example, if the user is feeling motivated, the command analysis unit can suggest challenging tasks to improve the user's motivation. On the other hand, if the user is feeling depressed, the command analysis unit can suggest easy tasks that will give the user a sense of accomplishment to improve the user's motivation. This makes it possible to analyze the user's emotional state and generate API calls that will improve the user's motivation.

[0062] The command analysis unit can use the emotion estimation function to analyze the user's emotional state and generate API calls that will reduce the user's stress. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the command analysis unit can suggest a relaxing task to reduce the user's stress. Also, if the user is feeling impatient, the command analysis unit can suggest a quick and easy API call to reduce the user's stress. This makes it possible to analyze the user's emotional state and generate API calls that will reduce stress.

[0063] The command analysis unit can use the emotion estimation function to analyze the user's emotional state and generate API calls that will improve the user's satisfaction. For example, if the user is satisfied, the command analysis unit can suggest API calls to maintain that satisfaction. Also, if the user is dissatisfied, the command analysis unit can generate quick and accurate API calls to improve the user's satisfaction. This makes it possible to analyze the user's emotional state and generate API calls that will improve satisfaction.

[0064] When analyzing user commands, the command analysis unit determines the priority of the commands and can prioritize processing of commands with higher importance. For example, if a user commands "Send an urgent report," the command analysis unit analyzes the keyword "urgent" and generates an API call with priority. Also, if a user commands "Get the data later," the command analysis unit can analyze the keyword "later" and set a lower priority. This makes it possible to determine the priority of commands and prioritize processing of commands with higher importance.

[0065] When analyzing a user command, the command analysis unit can feed back the execution results of the command and reflect them in the next command analysis. For example, if a user commands "Get the latest records from the database," the execution results are recorded and used as reference the next time a similar command is entered. Similarly, if a user commands "Send a report," the execution results can be fed back and reflected in the next command analysis. This allows for the generation of more accurate API calls by feeding back the execution results of the command and reflecting them in the next command analysis.

[0066] When analyzing user commands, the command analyzer can optimize the command execution time and generate efficient API calls. For example, if a user commands "Get the latest records from the database," the command analyzer will calculate the optimal execution time and generate an efficient API call. Also, if a user commands "Send a report," the command analyzer will calculate the optimal execution time and generate an efficient API call. This makes it possible to optimize command execution time and generate efficient API calls.

[0067] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0068] Step 1: The command analysis unit analyzes the spoken command. For example, it converts the spoken command into text using speech recognition technology and analyzes the intent of the command using natural language processing technology. It can also improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to the user's past command history. Step 2: The API conversion unit converts the commands analyzed by the command analysis unit into API calls.

[0117] 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 also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414.

[0118] 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.

[0119] FIG. 9 illustrates 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 behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion encompasses both emotions 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.

[0120] 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.

[0121] 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).

[0122] 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 expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, 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 expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "reaction," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.

[0123] 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."

[0124] 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.

[0125] 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.

[0126] 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.

[0127] 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.

[0128] 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.

[0129] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following types of processors: A processor, for example, 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. A processor also includes 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.

[0130] The hardware resource that executes the specific process 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 process may be a single processor.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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.

[0133] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.

[0134] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation 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, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects 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 replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
