[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 evaluation system according to an embodiment of the present invention transcribes interviews and quantifies evaluations based on the company's evaluation standards by reading in the transcripts. This allows interviewers and human resources personnel to focus on the facial expressions and behavior of the interviewee rather than the content of the conversation, reducing the variability in evaluations of the content of the conversation depending on the interviewer.

[0029] The evaluation system according to the embodiment includes a transcription unit, an evaluation unit, and an attention shifting unit. The transcription unit converts interview audio data into text data. For example, the audio data is input into a generation AI and transcribed using speech recognition technology. The transcription unit can also transcribe audio data in real time. For example, the audio data is input into a generation AI in real time and transcribed immediately. The evaluation unit evaluates the text data converted by the transcription unit based on the company's evaluation criteria. For example, the generation AI analyzes the text data and assigns scores to evaluation items such as "initiative," "leadership," and "problem-solving ability." The evaluation unit can also estimate emotions based on the interviewer's answers and reflect the emotional intensity in the evaluation. For example, the generation AI analyzes the interviewer's emotional state using an emotion estimation algorithm and reflects the intensity in the evaluation. The attention shifting unit directs the interviewer's attention to non-verbal elements based on the evaluation by the evaluation unit. For example, the attention shifting unit analyzes the interviewer's facial expressions and gestures and provides feedback to the interviewer. The attention shifting unit can also automatically highlight points that the interviewer should pay attention to, supporting the progress of the interview. For example, if the interviewer is talking about an important point, that part will be highlighted. As a result, the evaluation system according to the embodiment allows the interviewer to focus on non-verbal elements, enabling a more comprehensive evaluation and reducing variation in evaluation. For example, the quality of the interview improves when the interviewer pays attention to the facial expressions and behavior of the interviewee. Furthermore, the evaluation of the conversation content by the generation AI ensures fairness in the evaluation.

[0030] The transcription unit can analyze video data as well as audio data from interviews and convert facial expressions and gestures into text data. For example, the transcription unit inputs video data from an interview into a generation AI and analyzes the interviewer's facial expressions using a facial expression recognition algorithm. For example, if the interviewer is smiling while speaking, that facial expression is converted into text data as a "smile." The transcription unit can also analyze video data from an interview and convert the interviewer's gestures into text data. For example, if the interviewer is explaining by moving their hands, those gestures are converted into text data as "hand movements." In this way, by converting the interviewer's facial expressions and gestures into text data, it becomes easier for the interviewer to grasp non-verbal elements.

[0031] The transcription unit can transcribe the interview audio data in real time so that the interviewer can check it on the spot. For example, the transcription unit inputs the interview audio data into a generative AI in real time and immediately transcribes it using speech recognition technology. For example, the interviewer's answers are displayed as text data in real time. The transcription unit can also provide an interface that allows the interviewer to check the real-time transcribed data on the spot. For example, the transcription unit can allow the interviewer to check the real-time transcribed data on a screen. This allows the interviewer to check the transcribed data in real time, which makes the interview proceed more smoothly.

[0032] When transcribing an interview, the transcription department can automatically translate it into different languages, making it usable by multinational companies. For example, the transcription department inputs the audio data of an interview into a generative AI, transcribes it using speech recognition technology, and simultaneously automatically translates it into different languages. For example, the content of an interview in Japanese is translated into English. The transcription department can also provide an interface that allows interviewers to check the text data that has been automatically translated into different languages. For example, the transcription department can allow interviewers to check the text data translated into different languages ​​on a screen. This allows automatic translation into different languages ​​to be usable by multinational companies.

[0033] The transcription department can add a function that analyzes interview audio data and automatically highlights specific keywords and phrases. For example, the transcription department inputs interview audio data into a generation AI and transcribes it using speech recognition technology, while automatically highlighting specific keywords and phrases. For example, it highlights important keywords such as "leadership" and "problem solving." The transcription department can also set criteria for highlighting specific keywords and phrases. For example, it can highlight keywords based on frequency of appearance or importance. This allows interviewers to instantly confirm important information by automatically highlighting specific keywords and phrases.

[0034] When evaluating the content of the conversation, the evaluation unit can compare it with past interview data to detect trends and patterns. For example, the evaluation unit inputs the interviewer's answers into the generation AI and compares it with past interview data to detect trends and patterns. For example, it extracts the characteristics of answers that are highly rated for "leadership" from past interview data. The evaluation unit can also set criteria for detecting trends and patterns. For example, it analyzes trends based on changes over time or frequency. This allows it to detect trends and patterns by comparing it with past interview data, improving the accuracy of the evaluation.

[0035] The evaluation department can develop an algorithm that analyzes the interviewer's answers and automatically extracts latent skills and abilities. For example, the evaluation department could input the interviewer's answers into a generation AI and develop an algorithm that automatically extracts latent skills and abilities using natural language processing technology. For example, skills such as "leadership" and "problem-solving ability" could be extracted. The evaluation department can also set criteria for extracting latent skills and abilities. For example, skills could be extracted based on keywords and phrases in the answers. This allows for a more comprehensive evaluation by automatically extracting the interviewer's latent skills and abilities.

[0036] The evaluation department can customize the evaluation of the conversation content to match the standards of different industries and job types, increasing versatility. For example, the evaluation department inputs the interviewer's responses into the generation AI and customizes the evaluation to match the standards of different industries and job types. For example, different evaluation standards can be set for technical jobs and sales jobs. The evaluation department can also develop algorithms that perform evaluations based on the standards of different industries and job types. For example, evaluation items and standards can be set for each industry and evaluations are made based on those. This increases versatility by customizing the evaluation to match the standards of different industries and job types.

[0037] The evaluation unit can visualize the interviewer's answers and display the evaluation results in graphs and charts. For example, the evaluation unit inputs the interviewer's answers into a generation AI and visualizes the evaluation results. For example, the score for each evaluation item can be displayed in a bar graph or pie chart. The evaluation unit can also set criteria for visualizing the evaluation results. For example, it can select the graph format based on the importance of the evaluation item. In this way, visualizing the evaluation results makes it easier for interviewers to intuitively understand the evaluation results.

[0038] The evaluation unit can visualize the interviewer's answers and display the evaluation results in graphs and charts. For example, the evaluation unit inputs the interviewer's answers into a generation AI and visualizes the evaluation results. For example, the score for each evaluation item can be displayed in a bar graph or pie chart. The evaluation unit can also set criteria for visualizing the evaluation results. For example, it can select the graph format based on the importance of the evaluation item. In this way, visualizing the evaluation results makes it easier for interviewers to intuitively understand the evaluation results.

[0039] The attention shifting unit can develop a system that analyzes non-verbal elements that interviewers should pay attention to in real time and provides feedback to the interviewers. For example, the attention shifting unit inputs interview video data into a generative AI and analyzes non-verbal elements in real time. For example, it analyzes the interviewer's facial expressions and gestures and provides feedback to the interviewer. The attention shifting unit can also set criteria for analyzing non-verbal elements. For example, it performs analysis based on changes in facial expressions and the frequency of gestures. This allows the quality of interviews to be improved by analyzing non-verbal elements that interviewers should pay attention to in real time and providing feedback.

[0040] The attention shifting unit can incorporate an algorithm that analyzes the facial expressions and behavior of the interviewer and detects specific behavioral patterns. For example, the attention shifting unit inputs video data from an interview into the generation AI and analyzes the interviewer's facial expressions using a facial expression recognition algorithm. For example, if the interviewer is smiling while speaking, the expression is recorded as a "smile." The attention shifting unit can also analyze the interviewer's behavior and detect specific behavioral patterns. For example, it can record repeated actions performed by the interviewer as a "specific behavioral pattern." This allows the interviewer to gain a deeper understanding of the interviewer's behavior by analyzing the interviewer's facial expressions and behavior and detecting specific behavioral patterns.

[0041] The attention shifting unit can provide tools that automatically highlight points that interviewers should pay attention to and support the progress of the interview. For example, the attention shifting unit inputs interview video data into generative AI and develops an algorithm that automatically highlights points that interviewers should pay attention to. For example, if the interviewer is talking about an important point, that part will be highlighted. The attention shifting unit can also provide tools that support the progress of the interview. For example, it provides an interface that allows interviewers to check points that they should pay attention to in real time. This will automatically highlight points that interviewers should pay attention to, making the interview progress more smoothly.

[0042] The Attention Shifting Unit can customize the points that interviewers should focus on to suit the standards of different cultures and regions. For example, the Attention Shifting Unit inputs interview video data into a generative AI and customizes the points to focus on to suit the standards of different cultures and regions. For example, politeness in Japanese culture is added to the evaluation criteria. The Attention Shifting Unit can also set points to focus on based on the standards of different cultures and regions. For example, evaluations are made based on the culture and standards of each country and region. This allows the points to be customized to suit the standards of different cultures and regions, making it usable in global companies.

[0043] The attention shifting unit can develop an interface that visualizes and displays in real time the points that interviewers should pay attention to. For example, the attention shifting unit inputs interview video data into a generation AI and develops an algorithm that visualizes the points that should be noted. For example, it displays the interviewer's facial expressions and gestures in graphs and charts. The attention shifting unit can also provide an interface that displays the points that should be noted in real time. For example, it provides a screen that allows interviewers to check the points that should be noted in real time. This makes it easier for interviewers to check on the spot by visualizing and displaying the points that should be noted in real time.

[0044] The evaluation department can add a function to analyze the evaluation history of interviewers and check the consistency of evaluations. For example, the evaluation department inputs the evaluation history of interviewers into the generation AI and develops an algorithm to check the consistency of evaluations. For example, it analyzes whether the evaluations for the same evaluation items are consistent. The evaluation department can also set criteria for checking the consistency of evaluations. For example, it evaluates consistency based on the variability and fluctuations in evaluations. In this way, by analyzing the evaluation history of interviewers and checking the consistency, it is possible to reduce the variability in evaluations.

[0045] The evaluation department can standardize the evaluation criteria of interviewers and build a system in which the generation AI performs evaluations based on those criteria. For example, the evaluation department standardizes the evaluation criteria of interviewers and inputs those criteria into the generation AI. For example, it sets evaluation items such as "initiative," "leadership," and "problem-solving ability." The evaluation department can also develop an algorithm that performs evaluations based on standardized evaluation criteria. For example, it performs evaluations based on standardized evaluation items and evaluation methods. This standardizes the evaluation criteria and allows the generation AI to perform evaluations based on those standards, reducing variation in evaluations.

[0046] The evaluation department can automatically generate feedback on interviewer evaluations and correct evaluation variance in real time. For example, the evaluation department inputs interviewer evaluation data into a generation AI and develops an algorithm that automatically generates feedback on evaluations. For example, it detects evaluation variance and suggests points for correction. The evaluation department can also set criteria for correcting evaluation variance in real time. For example, it makes corrections based on fluctuations and consistency in evaluations. In this way, evaluation variance can be reduced by automatically generating feedback on evaluations and correcting it in real time.

[0047] The evaluation department can develop an algorithm that integrates the evaluations of different interviewers and generates an overall evaluation to reduce variability in evaluations. For example, the evaluation department inputs evaluation data from different interviewers into a generation AI and develops an algorithm that generates an overall evaluation. For example, the evaluations of multiple interviewers are integrated and an average score is calculated. The evaluation department can also set criteria for integrating evaluations. For example, the evaluation department performs an overall evaluation based on the integration of evaluation data or the integration of evaluation results. In this way, the evaluations of different interviewers are integrated and an overall evaluation is generated, thereby reducing variability in evaluations.

[0048] The evaluation department can provide a dashboard that visualizes the interviewer's evaluations and enables the variance in evaluations to be confirmed at a glance. For example, the evaluation department inputs the interviewer's evaluation data into a generation AI and develops an algorithm that visualizes the variance in evaluations. For example, the evaluation department displays the evaluation scores in a graph or chart. The evaluation department can also provide a dashboard for checking the variance in evaluations. For example, it provides a screen that enables the fluctuations and consistency of the evaluation scores to be confirmed at a glance. In this way, by visualizing the evaluations and checking them on the dashboard, the variance in evaluations can be understood at a glance.

[0049] The evaluation department can use generative AI to automatically learn their company's evaluation criteria and optimize the evaluation process. For example, the evaluation department inputs their company's evaluation criteria into the generative AI and develops an algorithm that automatically learns them. For example, they set evaluation items such as "initiative," "leadership," and "problem-solving ability." The evaluation department can also set criteria for optimizing the evaluation process. For example, they can optimize based on the importance of evaluation items and evaluation methods. This allows the system to automatically learn their company's evaluation criteria and optimize the evaluation process, improving the consistency of evaluations.

[0050] The evaluation department can develop an algorithm that evaluates an interviewer's skills and abilities in detail based on the company's evaluation criteria. For example, the evaluation department inputs the company's evaluation criteria into a generation AI and develops an algorithm that evaluates an interviewer's skills and abilities in detail. For example, the evaluation department can set evaluation items such as "technical knowledge" and "communication skills." The evaluation department can also set criteria for evaluating skills and abilities in detail. For example, the evaluation can be based on a more detailed breakdown of evaluation items and a more refined evaluation method. This enables a more appropriate personnel evaluation by evaluating skills and abilities in detail based on the company's evaluation criteria.

[0051] The evaluation department can build a system in which it periodically reviews its own evaluation criteria and the generation AI performs evaluations based on the latest criteria. The evaluation department, for example, periodically reviews its own evaluation criteria and inputs the latest criteria into the generation AI. For example, it updates the evaluation items in response to changes in the industry or the needs of the company. The evaluation department can also set the frequency and method for reviewing the evaluation criteria. For example, it updates the evaluation criteria every six months or annually. This improves the accuracy of evaluations by periodically reviewing the evaluation criteria and performing evaluations based on the latest criteria.

[0052] The evaluation department can apply its company's evaluation criteria to different industries and job types, increasing versatility. For example, the evaluation department inputs its company's evaluation criteria into a generation AI and develops an algorithm that applies them to different industries and job types. For example, different evaluation criteria can be set for technical positions and sales positions. The evaluation department can also set criteria to be applied to different industries and job types. For example, evaluations are conducted based on evaluation items and standards for each industry. This increases versatility by applying the company's evaluation criteria to different industries and job types.

[0053] The evaluation department can provide tools that visualize their company's evaluation criteria and enable an intuitive understanding of the evaluation process. For example, the evaluation department inputs their company's evaluation criteria into a generation AI and develops an algorithm to visualize them. For example, the evaluation department can display the scores for each evaluation item in a bar graph or pie chart. The evaluation department can also provide tools that enable an intuitive understanding of the evaluation process. For example, it can provide an interface that visually displays the importance of evaluation items and the evaluation method. This improves the efficiency of evaluation by visualizing the evaluation criteria and enabling an intuitive understanding of the evaluation process.

[0054] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0055] The evaluation unit can add a function to analyze the content of interviewer's answers and check the consistency of the answers. For example, if an interviewer gives contradictory answers to different questions, the function can detect the contradiction and notify the interviewer. The evaluation unit can also set criteria for checking the consistency of answers. For example, the function can evaluate consistency based on the degree of agreement of specific keywords or phrases. This allows for more reliable evaluation by checking the consistency of interviewer's answers.

[0056] The evaluation department can add a function to analyze the content of interviewers' answers and evaluate the originality of the answers. For example, if an interviewer offers a unique perspective or idea rather than a general answer, that originality can be reflected in the evaluation. The evaluation department can also set criteria for evaluating the originality of answers. For example, the evaluation can be based on the creativity and novelty of the answers. This makes it easier to find creative talent by reflecting the originality of the interviewer in the evaluation.

[0057] The evaluation department can add a function that analyzes the content of interviewer's answers and evaluates the specificity of the answers. For example, if the interviewer answers using specific examples or data, that specificity will be reflected in the evaluation. The evaluation department can also set criteria for evaluating the specificity of answers. For example, the evaluation will be based on the number of specific examples and the level of detail. In this way, by reflecting the specificity of the interviewer in the evaluation, it will be easier to find personnel with high practical skills.

[0058] The evaluation department can add a function to analyze the content of the interviewer's answers and evaluate the logic of the answers. For example, if the interviewer answers with a logical structure, that logic can be reflected in the evaluation. The evaluation department can also set criteria for evaluating the logic of answers. For example, the evaluation can be based on the logical structure and clarity of causal relationships. In this way, by reflecting the interviewer's logic in the evaluation, it becomes easier to find people with strong logical thinking skills.

[0059] The evaluation department can add a function that analyzes the content of interviewees' answers and evaluates the adaptability of the answers. For example, it can evaluate whether the interviewee can flexibly respond to different situations and challenges. The evaluation department can also set criteria for evaluating the adaptability of answers. For example, it can evaluate based on the flexibility and adaptability of answers to different scenarios. This makes it easier to find people who are resilient to change by reflecting the adaptability of the interviewee in the evaluation.

[0060] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0061] Step 1: The transcription department converts the interview audio data into text data. For example, the interview audio data is input into the generation AI, which then transcribes it using speech recognition technology. The transcription department can also transcribe audio data in real time. For example, the interview audio data is input into the generation AI in real time, which then transcribes it instantly. Step 2: The evaluation department evaluates the text data converted by the transcription department based on the company's evaluation criteria. For example, the generation AI analyzes the text data and assigns scores to evaluation items such as "action," "leadership," and "problem-solving ability." The evaluation department can also estimate the emotions expressed by the interviewer's answers and reflect the emotional intensity in the evaluation. For example, the generation AI uses an emotion estimation algorithm to analyze the interviewer's emotional state and reflect that intensity in the evaluation. Step 3: The attention shifting unit directs the interviewer's attention to non-verbal elements based on the evaluation by the evaluation unit. For example, it analyzes the interviewer's facial expressions and gestures and provides feedback to the interviewer. The attention shifting unit can also automatically highlight points that the interviewer should pay attention to, supporting the progress of the interview. For example, if the interviewer is talking about an important point, it will highlight that part.

[0062] (Example 2) The evaluation system according to an embodiment of the present invention transcribes interviews and quantifies evaluations based on the company's evaluation standards by reading in the transcripts. This allows interviewers and human resources personnel to focus on the facial expressions and behavior of the interviewee rather than the content of the conversation, reducing the variability in evaluations of the content of the conversation depending on the interviewer.

[0063] The evaluation system according to the embodiment includes a transcription unit, an evaluation unit, and an attention shifting unit. The transcription unit converts interview audio data into text data. For example, the audio data is input into a generation AI and transcribed using speech recognition technology.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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).

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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."

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

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.
