Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) The personalized menu creation system according to an embodiment of the present invention allows users to input their preferences and budget, and then a generation AI proposes optimal nutritionally balanced menus, creates a list of ingredients that minimize waste, orders the cheapest ingredients, and delivers them to their home. This reduces the burden on users, reduces food waste, and contributes to the global environment.

[0029] A personalized menu creation system according to an embodiment includes a preference input unit, a menu suggestion unit, an ingredient list creation unit, an ordering unit, and a delivery unit. The preference input unit inputs a user's preferences and budget. For example, the user may input preferences such as using specific ingredients, consuming a large amount of specific nutrients, or keeping weekly food expenses within a certain amount. This information is input as prompts to the generation AI. The menu suggestion unit proposes a nutritionally balanced menu based on the preferences and budget input by the preference input unit. For example, the generation AI generates menus that meet the necessary nutrients for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The generated menu is displayed to the user. The ingredient list creation unit creates a waste-free ingredient list based on the menu proposed by the menu suggestion unit. For example, it lists ingredients needed for a weekly menu and combines overlapping ingredients to minimize waste. This ingredient list is displayed to the user. The ordering unit connects with multiple online supermarkets based on the ingredient list created by the ingredient list creation unit to order the cheapest ingredients. For example, price information from each online supermarket is collected, allowing the user to purchase ingredients at the lowest price. Orders are placed automatically, allowing the user to purchase ingredients without any hassle. The delivery unit delivers the ingredients ordered by the ordering unit to the user's home, thereby saving the user the trouble of going shopping.

The preference input unit also uses AI to analyze the user's lifestyle (e.g., work schedule and hobby activities) and suggests optimal preferences and budgets based on that analysis. For example, it suggests easy-to-prepare menus on busy days. The preference input unit also integrates the user's activity data with lifestyle information, and the AI ​​suggests optimal meals. For example, it suggests high-protein menus on days when the user exercises a lot, and low-calorie menus on days when the user exercises less. This allows the system to suggest optimal preferences and budgets by taking the user's lifestyle and daily activity level into consideration.

[0032] The request input unit can provide an interface that allows the user to intuitively input their requests and budget using voice input or image recognition. The request input unit, for example, provides an interface that allows the user to input their requests and budget by voice. For example, using voice recognition technology, what the user says is converted into text, which is then analyzed by AI. The request input unit also provides an interface that allows the user to input their requests and budget by uploading images of ingredients. For example, using image recognition technology, the uploaded ingredients are automatically recognized, and then analyzed by AI. The request input unit also provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that the user can operate intuitively. For example, an interface can be developed that allows the user to input their requests and budget using drag and drop. This allows the user to intuitively input their requests and budget using voice input or image recognition.

[0033] The preference input unit can work in conjunction with other health management apps and wearable devices to automatically import the user's health data. The preference input unit can work in conjunction with other health management apps (e.g., fitness apps and diet apps) to automatically import the user's health data. For example, the AI ​​analyzes the amount of exercise and food records. The preference input unit also automatically imports health data from wearable devices (e.g., smart watches and fitness trackers). For example, the AI ​​analyzes heart rate and sleep data. The preference input unit also integrates data obtained from the health management apps and wearable devices, and the AI ​​comprehensively analyzes the user's health condition. For example, it can make optimal dietary suggestions based on the amount of exercise, food records, and sleep data. In this way, the user's health data can be automatically imported by working in conjunction with other health management apps and wearable devices.

[0034] The menu suggestion unit uses AI to refer to the latest nutritional research and provide the optimal nutritional balance for each individual user. For example, the menu suggestion unit uses AI to refer to the latest nutritional research and provide the optimal nutritional balance based on the user's health condition and lifestyle. For example, it adjusts nutrient intake based on the latest research data. The menu suggestion unit also suggests menus based on specific health goals (such as weight loss or muscle building) based on the latest nutritional research. For example, it generates menus that are rich in specific nutrients. The menu suggestion unit also uses AI to analyze the latest nutritional research and provide a nutritional balance that meets the user's individual needs. For example, it suggests menus that include nutrients that are effective in preventing specific diseases. In this way, by referring to the latest nutritional research, it is possible to provide the optimal nutritional balance for each individual user.

[0035] The menu suggestion unit can suggest menus that incorporate seasonal ingredients, taking into consideration the season and local specialties. The menu suggestion unit, for example, suggests menus by taking into consideration seasonal specialties and seasonal ingredients. For example, in spring, it suggests menus that incorporate fresh vegetables and fruits. The menu suggestion unit also suggests menus that utilize local ingredients, taking into consideration local specialties. For example, it suggests traditional dishes that use local specialties. The menu suggestion unit also suggests nutritionally balanced menus based on the season and local specialties. For example, it suggests healthy menus that use seasonal ingredients. In this way, it is possible to suggest menus that incorporate seasonal ingredients by taking into consideration the season and local specialties.

[0036] The menu suggestion unit can reflect the user's allergy information and food preferences in detail when suggesting a menu. For example, the menu suggestion unit suggests a menu that does not contain allergens based on the user's allergy information. For example, if the user is allergic to a specific ingredient, the menu suggestion unit suggests a menu that excludes that ingredient. The menu suggestion unit also suggests a menu that reflects the user's food preferences in detail. For example, the menu is generated taking into consideration favorite and disliked ingredients. The menu suggestion unit also integrates the allergy information and food preferences to suggest an optimal menu for the user. For example, it suggests a menu that avoids allergens while including many favorite ingredients. In this way, by reflecting the user's allergy information and food preferences in detail, it is possible to suggest a menu that meets individual needs.

[0037] The menu suggestion unit can suggest popular menus based on the ratings and reviews of other users. The menu suggestion unit suggests popular menus, for example, based on the ratings and reviews of other users. For example, it preferentially displays highly rated menus. The menu suggestion unit also analyzes user reviews to suggest particularly popular menus. For example, it analyzes the content of reviews to suggest menus with many positive ratings. The menu suggestion unit also displays popular menus in a ranking format based on the rating data of other users. For example, menus with high rating scores are displayed at the top. This makes it possible to suggest popular menus based on the ratings and reviews of other users.

[0038] The ingredient list creation unit uses AI to analyze past purchase history and automatically generate an ingredient list that eliminates waste. For example, the ingredient list creation unit uses AI to analyze a user's past purchase history and automatically generate an ingredient list that eliminates waste. For example, it includes ingredients that are frequently purchased or used in the list. The ingredient list creation unit also reflects duplicate ingredients in the list based on past purchase history, for example, by adjusting the list to avoid purchasing the same ingredient multiple times. The ingredient list creation unit also analyzes purchase history and develops an algorithm to create an ingredient list that eliminates waste. For example, it suggests optimal purchase amounts based on past data. In this way, an ingredient list that eliminates waste can be automatically generated by analyzing past purchase history.

[0039] The ingredient list creation unit can suggest optimal purchase quantities by taking into account the shelf life and frequency of use of ingredients. The ingredient list creation unit, for example, suggests optimal purchase quantities by taking into account the shelf life of ingredients. For example, it suggests purchasing small amounts of ingredients with short shelf lives. The ingredient list creation unit also suggests optimal purchase quantities based on the frequency of use of ingredients. For example, it suggests purchasing larger amounts of ingredients that are used frequently and smaller amounts of ingredients that are used less frequently. The ingredient list creation unit also develops an algorithm that integrates shelf life and frequency of use to suggest optimal purchase quantities. For example, it analyzes shelf life and frequency of use based on past data and calculates the optimal purchase quantity. This makes it possible to suggest optimal purchase quantities by taking into account the shelf life and frequency of use of ingredients.

[0040] The ingredient list creation unit can share the ingredient list with other users, promoting joint purchasing and sharing. The ingredient list creation unit, for example, provides a function for sharing the ingredient list with other users, promoting joint purchasing.

The ingredient list creation unit also builds a system for sharing ingredient lists and exchanging leftover ingredients with other users. For example, ingredients that cannot be used up are provided to other users. The ingredient list creation unit also develops a platform for promoting joint purchasing and sharing. For example, a community is created where users can share ingredients with each other. In this way, sharing the ingredient list with other users can promote joint purchasing and sharing.

[0041] The ingredient list creation unit can provide recipe suggestions and cooking method advice based on the ingredient list. For example, the ingredient list creation unit builds a system that suggests optimal recipes based on the ingredient list. For example, it automatically generates recipes using ingredients included in the list. The ingredient list creation unit also provides cooking method advice based on the ingredient list. For example, it suggests simple cooking methods using ingredients included in the list. The ingredient list creation unit also suggests recipes tailored to the user's preferences based on the ingredient list. For example, it suggests dishes that the user likes using ingredients included in the list. This makes it possible to provide recipe suggestions and cooking method advice based on the ingredient list.

[0042] The ordering department uses AI to monitor price fluctuations in real time, allowing ingredients to be ordered at the optimal time. For example, the ordering department uses AI to collect price information from each online supermarket in real time and monitor price fluctuations. For example, ingredients are ordered when the price drops. The ordering department also develops an algorithm to order ingredients at the optimal time based on price fluctuations. For example, it predicts when the price will be lowest and places an order at that time. The ordering department also collects price information in real time, allowing ingredients to be ordered at the optimal time for the user. For example, an order is automatically placed the moment the price drops. This allows for cost reduction by monitoring price fluctuations in real time and ordering ingredients at the optimal time.

[0043] The ordering unit can take into account the inventory status of each online supermarket and propose the most efficient ordering method. For example, the ordering unit collects inventory status of each online supermarket in real time and proposes the most efficient ordering method. For example, it prioritizes ordering from supermarkets with abundant stock. The ordering unit also develops an algorithm that proposes the optimal ordering method based on the inventory status. For example, it distributes orders for ingredients that are low in stock from multiple supermarkets. The ordering unit also collects inventory information in real time and proposes the most efficient ordering method to the user. For example, it suggests ordering ingredients that are low in stock early. In this way, the most efficient ordering method can be proposed by taking into account the inventory status of each online supermarket.

[0044] The ordering department can also work with local markets and farmers other than the online supermarket to promote local production and consumption. The ordering department, for example, works with local markets and farmers other than the online supermarket to build a system that promotes local production and consumption. For example, it prioritizes ordering fresh local ingredients. The ordering department also collects ingredient information from local markets and farmers and suggests it to users. For example, it includes local specialties and seasonal ingredients in the list. The ordering department also develops a platform to promote local production and consumption. For example, it works directly with local markets and farmers to build a system for ordering ingredients. This makes it possible to promote local production and consumption by working with local markets and farmers other than the online supermarket.

[0045] The ordering unit can suggest recommended products that match the user's preferences based on the food ingredient order history. The ordering unit, for example, analyzes the food ingredient order history and suggests recommended products that match the user's preferences. For example, suggestions are made based on frequently purchased or favorite ingredients. The ordering unit also analyzes the user's preferences based on the order history and develops an algorithm that suggests optimal products. For example, it predicts the user's preferences based on past data. The ordering unit also suggests related products based on the user's order history. For example, it suggests seasonings or recipes that go well with purchased ingredients. In this way, it is possible to suggest recommended products that match the user's preferences based on the food ingredient order history.

[0046] The delivery department uses AI to calculate the optimal delivery route, thereby shortening delivery time. For example, the delivery department selects the optimal route based on traffic and weather information.

For example, it sends a notification when delivery is approaching. The delivery unit also tracks the delivery status in real time and allows the user to receive the notification at a time desired by the user. For example, it sends a notification one hour before delivery. In this way, it is possible to track the delivery status in real time and notify the user, thereby improving user convenience.

[0048] The delivery unit can provide advice on how to store and cook ingredients at the time of delivery. The delivery unit, for example, builds a system that gives advice to users on how to store ingredients at the time of delivery. For example, it provides information about ingredients that need to be refrigerated. The delivery unit also gives advice to users on how to cook ingredients at the time of delivery. For example, it provides simple recipes and cooking tips. The delivery unit also develops a system that provides advice on how to store and cook ingredients together at the time of delivery. For example, it displays storage methods and cooking methods together. This allows for providing advice on how to store and cook ingredients at the time of delivery, thereby improving user convenience.

[0049] The delivery department can reduce the environmental burden by working with the delivery service and using recyclable packaging materials. For example, the delivery department works with the delivery service to build a system that uses recyclable packaging materials. For example, paper packaging materials are used instead of plastic. The delivery department can also reduce the environmental burden by using recyclable packaging materials. For example, reusable eco-bags are provided. The delivery department can also work with the delivery service to implement a campaign to promote the use of recyclable packaging materials. For example, discounts are offered if recyclable packaging materials are used. In this way, the use of recyclable packaging materials can reduce the environmental burden.

[0050] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0051] The preference input unit uses AI to analyze the user's past dietary history and health data, allowing it to make more accurate suggestions about preferences and budgets. For example, AI analyzes the user's past dietary history to identify frequently consumed ingredients and nutrients. This allows it to make suggestions about preferences and budgets based on the user's preferences and health status. The preference input unit also uses AI to analyze the user's health data (e.g., blood pressure, weight, blood sugar level, etc.) and make diet suggestions based on the user's health status. This supports the user in maintaining and improving their health. The preference input unit also integrates the user's past dietary history and health data, allowing AI to make optimal suggestions about preferences and budgets. For example, it can detect imbalances in nutritional balance from past data and make suggestions to correct them. This allows it to make more accurate suggestions about preferences and budgets by analyzing the user's past dietary history and health data.

[0052] The preference input unit uses AI to automatically detect the user's lifestyle and daily activity level, and can then use that information to suggest optimal preferences and budgets. For example, the AI ​​collects daily activity data from the user's smartphone or wearable device and analyzes it. For example, it calculates calorie consumption based on the number of steps taken and the amount of exercise, and makes meal suggestions based on that. The preference input unit also uses AI to analyze the user's lifestyle (e.g., work schedule and hobby activities) and suggests optimal preferences and budgets based on that analysis. For example, it suggests easy-to-prepare menus on busy days. The preference input unit also integrates the user's activity data with lifestyle information, and the AI ​​then makes optimal meal suggestions. For example, it suggests high-protein menus on days when the user exercises a lot, and low-calorie menus on days when the user exercises less. This allows the system to suggest optimal preferences and budgets by taking the user's lifestyle and daily activity level into consideration.

[0053] The request input unit can provide an interface that allows users to intuitively input their requests and budget using voice input or image recognition. For example, an interface is provided that allows users to input their requests and budget by voice. For example, voice recognition technology is used to convert what the user says into text, which is then analyzed by AI. The request input unit also provides an interface that allows users to input their requests and budget by uploading images of ingredients. For example, image recognition technology is used to automatically recognize the uploaded ingredients, which are then analyzed by AI. The request input unit also provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that users can operate intuitively. For example, an interface is developed that allows users to input their requests and budget using drag and drop.

[0151] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46.

[0152] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0160] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AIs other than the generative AI.

The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. 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. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.

In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.

[0170] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

[0173] In the robot 414, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. A specific processing program 60 is stored in the storage 50. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48.

The robot 414 has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can also perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0174] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.

[0175] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[0176] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image.

The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AIs other than the generative AI. The AI ​​other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. 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. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.

[0177] 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. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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).

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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."

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.
