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) A monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention allows people who live far from their elderly parents to keep track of their parents' health and alleviate their anxiety. In this system, an AI avatar initiates a conversation at a fixed time each day, and the generating AI summarizes and saves the conversation on a server, allowing service users to view the summarized conversation. This allows people who live far from their elderly parents to keep track of their parents' health and alleviate their anxiety.

[0029] A monitoring system according to an embodiment includes an AI avatar, a generation AI, a server, and a service user. The AI ​​avatar initiates a conversation at a fixed time every day. For example, the AI ​​avatar asks questions such as, "Good morning. How was your day today?" and "How are you feeling lately?" The generation AI summarizes the conversation between the AI ​​avatar and the parent. For example, if the parent says, "I had a slight headache today," the generation AI summarizes the conversation as, "The parent had a headache." The generation AI can also analyze the conversation in real time and extract important information. The server stores the conversation summarized by the generation AI. For example, the server stores the summarized conversation in a database for later access. The service user can view the summarized conversation. For example, the service user can access the server via a smartphone or computer to keep track of their parent's health and daily events. This allows people who live far from their elderly parents to keep track of their parents' health and alleviate their anxiety.

[0030] The AI ​​avatar can learn a parent's past conversation history and ask personalized questions based on their health status or hobbies. For example, the AI ​​avatar can analyze a parent's past conversation history and ask questions based on the parent's previous conversations and interests. For example, if a parent previously said, "I like gardening," the AI ​​avatar could ask, "How's your gardening going lately?" The AI ​​avatar can also learn past data about the parent's health status and ask questions related to specific health issues. For example, if a parent previously said, "My knee hurts," the AI ​​avatar could ask, "How's your knee pain?" The AI ​​avatar can also provide topics that the parent will enjoy based on the parent's hobbies and interests. For example, if a parent says, "I like cooking," the AI ​​avatar could ask, "What dish have you cooked recently?" This allows the AI ​​avatar to ask questions based on the parent's individual health status and hobbies, thereby attracting the parent's interest and enriching the conversation.

[0031] When summarizing conversation content, the generation AI can automatically highlight and visually emphasize important keywords related to the parent's health condition. For example, the generation AI analyzes the conversation content and automatically highlights important keywords related to the parent's health condition. For example, it highlights keywords such as "headache" and "can't sleep." It also visually emphasizes important information related to the parent's health condition in the summarized conversation content. For example, if the parent says, "I haven't had much of an appetite lately," the phrase "I have no appetite" is displayed in bold or colored. The generation AI also analyzes the conversation content and automatically extracts important keywords related to the parent's health condition and reflects them in the summary. For example, it includes keywords such as "high blood pressure." This visually emphasizes important information related to the parent's health condition, allowing service users to quickly grasp important information.

[0032] When summarizing the content of the conversation, the generation AI can automatically generate graphs that can track changes in the parent's health condition over time. For example, the generation AI analyzes the summarized content of the conversation and automatically generates graphs that can track changes in the parent's health condition over time. For example, it plots changes in the parent's physical condition by date. It also generates graphs that visually display changes in the parent's health condition based on the summarized content of the conversation. For example, it displays changes in the parent's sleep state and appetite in a graph. The generation AI also analyzes the content of the conversation, extracts data to track changes in the parent's health condition over time, and automatically generates graphs. For example, it displays changes in the parent's blood pressure and weight in a graph. This allows the service user to visually track changes in the parent's health condition and more accurately understand it.

[0033] When summarizing conversation content, the generation AI can evaluate it against expert opinions about the parent's health condition. For example, the generation AI analyzes the summarized conversation content and evaluates it against expert opinions about the parent's health condition. For example, it evaluates the parent's health condition based on a doctor's opinion. In addition, a function can be added to evaluate the summarized conversation content against expert opinions to more accurately understand the parent's health condition. For example, the expert's advice can be reflected in the summary. The generation AI can also analyze the summarized conversation content and build a system that evaluates it based on expert opinions about the parent's health condition. For example, it can evaluate the parent's health condition based on expert opinions and reflect this in the summary. This allows for a more accurate evaluation of the parent's health condition by comparing it with expert opinions.

[0034] When summarizing the conversation content, the generative AI can integrate and store it with other data related to the parent's health condition. For example, the generative AI can integrate the summarized conversation content with the parent's medical records to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the parent's health condition. For example, the generative AI can store the parent's medical records and the conversation content in a single database. The generative AI can also integrate the summarized conversation content with the parent's fitness data to obtain a more accurate understanding of the parent's health condition. For example, the generative AI can integrate and store the parent's exercise data and the conversation content. The generative AI can also integrate the summarized conversation content with other data related to the parent's health condition to build a system for comprehensive health management. For example, the generative AI can integrate and store the parent's medical records and fitness data. This makes it possible to provide comprehensive health management by integrating it with other data related to the parent's health condition.

[0035] The generation AI can enhance search functionality by tagging summarized conversation content to make it easier for users to search. For example, the generation AI can automatically tag summarized conversation content based on the parent's health condition or topics. For example, tags such as "health," "diet," and "exercise" are added. The generation AI can also tag summarized conversation content to make it easier for users to search for specific keywords. For example, searching for "headache" will display conversations in which the parent talked about headaches. The generation AI can also tag summarized conversation content based on the parent's emotional state to enhance search functionality. For example, emotion tags such as "happy," "sad," and "anxious" are added. This makes it easier for users to search, allowing them to quickly obtain the information they need.

[0036] The generation AI can convert summarized conversation content into infographics that are easy for users to understand visually. For example, the generation AI can analyze the summarized conversation content and automatically generate infographics that visually display a parent's health condition and emotional state. For example, it can display changes in a parent's physical condition using graphs and charts. The generation AI can also convert the summarized conversation content into infographics that allow users to understand a parent's health condition at a glance. For example, it can show changes in a parent's sleep state and appetite using icons and colors. The generation AI can also build a system that analyzes the summarized conversation content and generates infographics that visually display a parent's health condition and emotional state. For example, it can display changes in a parent's emotions over time. This makes it easier for users to understand the information by providing it in a format that is visually easy to understand.

[0037] The generation AI can incorporate speech synthesis technology so that the user can check the summarized conversation content by voice. For example, the generation AI can convert the summarized conversation content into audio using speech synthesis technology, allowing the user to check it by voice. For example, the summary content can be played back through a smartphone or speaker. The generation AI can also convert the summarized conversation content into audio using speech synthesis technology, allowing the user to check it while driving or doing housework. For example, the summary content can be played back through speakers or earphones in the car. The generation AI can also convert the summarized conversation content into audio using speech synthesis technology, allowing the user to obtain information even in situations where they cannot check it visually. For example, the summary content can be provided by voice to the visually impaired. This allows the user to check the information by voice, allowing them to obtain information even in situations where they cannot check it visually.

[0038] The generative AI can add a function that allows users to share summarized conversation content with other family members or medical professionals. For example, the generative AI analyzes the summarized conversation content and adds a function that allows users to share it with other family members or medical professionals. For example, the summary content can be sent by email or message. A platform for sharing summarized conversation content can also be built, allowing users to easily share information with other family members or medical professionals. For example, the summary content can be shared through a dedicated app or website. The generative AI can also analyze the summarized conversation content and automatically extract the information necessary for users to share it with other family members or medical professionals. For example, important information about a parent's health condition can be highlighted and shared. This allows users to share information with other family members and medical professionals, thereby more effectively managing their parent's health.

[0039] When analyzing conversation content, the generative AI can automatically detect patterns related to a parent's health condition and detect abnormalities early. For example, the generative AI analyzes conversation content and automatically detects patterns related to a parent's health condition. For example, if a parent says, "I haven't been sleeping well lately," it detects a pattern of sleep deprivation. It also analyzes conversation content and builds a system that detects abnormalities related to a parent's health condition early. For example, if a parent says, "I haven't had much of an appetite lately," it detects a pattern of loss of appetite. It also analyzes conversation content and automatically detects patterns related to a parent's health condition and detects abnormalities early. For example, if a parent says, "I've been having chest pains lately," it detects the possibility of a heart problem. This makes it possible to automatically detect patterns related to a parent's health condition and detect abnormalities early, enabling prompt response.

[0040] The generative AI can evaluate the health monitoring results against the parent's medical records and notify medical professionals. For example, the generative AI may evaluate the health monitoring results against the parent's medical records and notify medical professionals if an abnormality is detected. For example, if the parent's blood pressure is high, it may notify a doctor. A system may also be built that evaluates the health monitoring results against the parent's medical records and notify medical professionals if an abnormality is detected. For example, if the parent's blood sugar level is high, it may notify a doctor. The generative AI may also evaluate the health monitoring results against the parent's medical records and notify medical professionals if an abnormality is detected. For example, if the parent's heart rate is abnormally high, it may notify a doctor. This allows the generative AI to evaluate the parent's health monitoring results against the medical records and notify medical professionals, enabling appropriate medical treatment.

[0041] The generating AI can integrate and analyze health monitoring results with parent's lifestyle data. For example, the generating AI integrates health monitoring results with parent's lifestyle data and performs a comprehensive analysis. For example, it integrates and analyzes parent's dietary data and health status. It also builds a system that integrates health monitoring results with parent's exercise data and performs a comprehensive analysis. For example, it integrates and analyzes parent's exercise volume and health status. The generating AI also integrates health monitoring results with parent's lifestyle data and performs a comprehensive analysis. For example, it integrates and analyzes parent's sleep data and health status. This makes it possible to integrate and analyze parent's health monitoring results with lifestyle data, enabling comprehensive health management.

[0042] The generative AI can evaluate health monitoring results based on a predictive model of the parent's health condition and predict future risks. For example, the generative AI analyzes health monitoring results and predicts future risks based on a predictive model of the parent's health condition. For example, it predicts future heart disease risk based on the parent's blood pressure data. It also builds a system that evaluates health monitoring results based on a predictive model of the parent's health condition and predicts future risks. For example, it predicts future diabetes risk based on the parent's blood sugar level data. The generative AI also analyzes health monitoring results and predicts future risks based on a predictive model of the parent's health condition. For example, it predicts future obesity risk based on the parent's weight data. This enables preventive health management by evaluating the parent's health monitoring results based on a predictive model and predicting future risks.

[0043] When detecting an emergency from the content of a conversation, the generation AI can assess the level of urgency by referring to the parent's past health history. For example, the generation AI analyzes the content of the conversation and assesses the level of urgency by referring to the parent's past health history. For example, if a parent says, "I have chest pain," the level of urgency is assessed based on their past history of heart disease. In addition, a system can be built that, when detecting an emergency from the content of a conversation, assesses the level of urgency by referring to the parent's past health history. For example, if a parent says, "I have a headache," the level of urgency is assessed based on their past history of migraines. In addition, the generation AI analyzes the content of the conversation and assesses the level of urgency by referring to the parent's past health history. For example, if a parent says, "I'm having trouble breathing," the level of urgency is assessed based on their past history of respiratory disease. This allows for a more appropriate response by assessing the level of urgency by referring to the parent's past health history.

[0044] When an emergency is detected, the generation AI can automatically obtain the parent's current location information and notify emergency contacts. For example, when an emergency is detected from the content of a conversation, the generation AI automatically obtains the parent's current location information and notifies emergency contacts. For example, if a parent says, "I fell and can't move," the current location information is obtained and notified. We will also build a system that automatically obtains the parent's current location information and notifies emergency contacts when an emergency is detected. For example, if a parent says, "I have chest pain," the current location information is obtained and notified. When an emergency is detected from the content of a conversation, the generation AI automatically obtains the parent's current location information and notifies emergency contacts. For example, if a parent says, "I'm having trouble breathing," the current location information is obtained and notified. This allows for a rapid response by automatically obtaining the parent's current location information and notifying emergency contacts.

[0045] When the generating AI detects an emergency, it can also send an emergency notification to friends and family living in the parent's neighborhood, encouraging them to respond quickly. For example, if a parent says, "I fell and can't move," it will notify friends and family living in the neighborhood. A system can also be built to send emergency notifications to friends and family living in the parent's neighborhood, encouraging them to respond quickly. For example, if a parent says, "I have chest pain," it will notify friends and family living in the neighborhood. When the generating AI detects an emergency, it can also send emergency notifications to friends and family living in the parent's neighborhood, encouraging them to respond quickly. For example, if a parent says, "I'm having trouble breathing," it will notify friends and family living in the neighborhood. This allows for a quick response by sending emergency notifications to friends and family living in the parent's neighborhood, enabling them to respond quickly.

[0046] When the generating AI detects an emergency, it can automatically send an emergency notification to the parent's medical institution or nursing facility, requesting specialized treatment. For example, when the generating AI detects an emergency, it can automatically send an emergency notification to the parent's medical institution or nursing facility, requesting specialized treatment. For example, if a parent says, "I have chest pain," it will notify the medical institution. We will also build a system that automatically sends an emergency notification to the parent's medical institution or nursing facility, requesting specialized treatment. For example, if a parent says, "I'm having trouble breathing," it will notify the medical institution. When the generating AI detects an emergency, it can automatically send an emergency notification to the parent's medical institution or nursing facility, requesting specialized treatment. For example, if a parent says, "I fell and can't move," it will notify the nursing facility. This allows emergency notifications to be sent to the parent's medical institution or nursing facility, enabling specialized treatment to be provided quickly.

[0047] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0048] The monitoring system can also collect data on parents' lifestyle habits and use it to monitor their health. For example, it can record the parents' diet and exercise habits to track changes in their health. It can also analyze the parents' sleep patterns and evaluate their sleep quality. It can also provide advice on maintaining health based on the parents' lifestyle habits. This allows for a comprehensive understanding of parents' lifestyle habits and more comprehensive health management.

[0049] The monitoring system can provide entertainment content based on the parent's hobbies and interests. For example, it can recommend music and movies that the parent likes. It can also provide news and articles related to the parent's interests. It can also introduce online communities and events that the parent can participate in. This can bring enjoyment to the parent's life and support their mental health.

[0050] The monitoring system can have the ability to share data about a parent's health with other family members or medical professionals. For example, reports about the parent's health can be sent by email periodically. Data about the parent's health can also be shared on an online platform where family members and medical professionals can access it. Furthermore, a function can be added to notify important information about the parent's health in real time. This allows parents to share their health status with family members and medical professionals, enabling more effective health management.

[0051] The monitoring system can analyze data on a parent's health condition and predict future health risks. For example, it can predict future risks of heart disease and diabetes based on a parent's blood pressure and blood sugar data. It can also assess future health risks based on a parent's lifestyle data. It can also provide preventative health management advice based on predicted health risks. This allows parents to predict future health risks and take early action.

[0052] The monitoring system can be equipped with a function to analyze data on the parent's health condition and detect abnormalities early. For example, it can monitor the parent's blood pressure and temperature data in real time and issue an alert if an abnormality is detected. It can also analyze the parent's lifestyle data and detect abnormal patterns. Furthermore, it can add a function to notify family members or medical professionals if an abnormality is detected.

[0056] (Example 2) A monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention allows people who live far from their elderly parents to keep track of their parents' health and alleviate their anxiety. In this system, an AI avatar initiates a conversation at a fixed time each day, and the generating AI summarizes and saves the conversation on a server, allowing service users to view the summarized conversation. This allows people who live far from their elderly parents to keep track of their parents' health and alleviate their anxiety.

[0057] A monitoring system according to an embodiment includes an AI avatar, a generation AI, a server, and a service user. The AI ​​avatar initiates a conversation at a fixed time every day. For example, the AI ​​avatar asks questions such as, "Good morning. How was your day today?" and "How are you feeling lately?" The generation AI summarizes the conversation between the AI ​​avatar and the parent. For example, if the parent says, "I had a slight headache today," the generation AI summarizes the conversation as, "The parent had a headache." The generation AI can also analyze the conversation in real time and extract important information. The server stores the conversation summarized by the generation AI. For example, the server stores the summarized conversation in a database for later access. The service user can view the summarized conversation. For example, the service user can access the server via a smartphone or computer to keep track of their parent's health and daily events. This allows people who live far from their elderly parents to keep track of their parents' health and alleviate their anxiety.

[0058] The AI ​​avatar can learn a parent's past conversation history and ask personalized questions based on their health status or hobbies. For example, the AI ​​avatar can analyze a parent's past conversation history and ask questions based on the parent's previous conversations and interests. For example, if a parent previously said, "I like gardening," the AI ​​avatar could ask, "How's your gardening going lately?" The AI ​​avatar can also learn past data about the parent's health status and ask questions related to specific health issues. For example, if a parent previously said, "My knee hurts," the AI ​​avatar could ask, "How's your knee pain?" The AI ​​avatar can also provide topics that the parent will enjoy based on the parent's hobbies and interests. For example, if a parent says, "I like cooking," the AI ​​avatar could ask, "What dish have you cooked recently?" This allows the AI ​​avatar to ask questions based on the parent's individual health status and hobbies, thereby attracting the parent's interest and enriching the conversation.

[0059] The AI ​​avatar can detect changes in a parent's tone of voice and speaking style, infer emotional changes, and adjust the content of the conversation accordingly. For example, the AI ​​avatar can analyze a parent's tone of voice to determine whether they are tired. For example, if a parent's voice is low and listless, the AI ​​avatar might ask, "You seem a little tired today. Is there anything you're worried about?" The AI ​​avatar can also analyze the speed and rhythm of a parent's speech to infer their emotional state. For example, if a parent speaks quickly, the AI ​​avatar might ask, "Did anything exciting happen today?" The AI ​​avatar can also detect changes in a parent's voice to determine whether they are stressed. For example, if a parent's voice is trembling, the AI ​​avatar might ask, "Have you been feeling stressed recently?" This allows the AI ​​avatar to detect changes in a parent's emotions and provide appropriate conversation content to provide psychological support to the parent.

[0060] When summarizing conversation content, the generation AI can automatically highlight and visually emphasize important keywords related to the parent's health condition.

When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples.

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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).

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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."

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.
