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 automation system according to an embodiment of the present invention automates the acceptance inspection and payment procedures based on invoices. This system automates the acceptance inspection and payment procedures simply by uploading an invoice. As a result, the automation system automates everything from uploading an invoice to the payment procedures, thereby improving work efficiency and saving time.

[0029] The automated system according to the embodiment includes an invoice upload unit, a data extraction unit, an inspection automation unit, and a payment automation unit. The invoice upload unit uploads invoices. For example, it can upload images or PDF files of invoices to the system. The invoice upload unit can also scan handwritten invoices and convert them into digital data. The data extraction unit analyzes the uploaded invoice content and extracts necessary data. For example, the generation AI can automatically read the invoice issue date, invoice amount, payee information, etc. using OCR technology. The generation AI can also analyze the invoice content and extract necessary data using text mining technology. The inspection automation unit automates the inspection process based on the extracted data. For example, the generation AI can compare the invoice content with the purchase order content to confirm that they match. The generation AI can also compare the invoice content with delivery notes and receipts to confirm that the actually delivered goods or services match the details listed on the invoice. The payment automation unit automates the payment procedure after inspection is complete. For example, the generation AI can generate a payment instruction based on the payee's bank account information and send it to the bank system. The generation AI can also manage payment schedules to ensure payments are made on time. As a result, the automated system according to the embodiment automates everything from uploading invoices to payment procedures, thereby improving work efficiency and saving time.

[0030] The data extraction unit can automatically read the invoice issue date, invoice amount, and payee information. For example, when an image or PDF file of an invoice is uploaded, the data extraction unit allows the generation AI to analyze its contents and extract data such as the issue date, invoice amount, and payee information. The extracted data is then automatically translated into different languages ​​to accommodate international transactions. For example, a Japanese invoice can be translated into English or Chinese. The data extraction unit also automatically translates the invoice into different languages ​​and provides an interface for checking the translation results. For example, the content of the invoice translated into English can be checked and corrected as necessary. The data extraction unit also automatically translates the invoice into different languages ​​in real time. For example, when an invoice is uploaded, the translation results are displayed within seconds, enabling quick response to international transactions. This automatically extracts important invoice information, eliminating the need for manual work.

[0031] The automated inspection department can compare the contents of an invoice with the contents of a purchase order to confirm that they match. For example, when an invoice is uploaded, the generation AI analyzes its contents and extracts data such as the issue date, invoice amount, and payee information. The extracted data is compared with past transaction data to automatically detect fraudulent invoices. For example, invoice amounts and payee information that do not match past transaction data are detected. The automated inspection department also performs a real-time process in which the generation AI compares the data with past transaction data to automatically detect fraudulent invoices. For example, when an invoice is uploaded, a fraudulent invoice is detected within a few seconds and an alert is issued. The automated inspection department also builds a system in which the generation AI compares the data with past transaction data to automatically detect fraudulent invoices. For example, it references a past transaction database and sends a notification if a fraudulent invoice is detected. This automatically compares the contents of invoices and purchase orders, improving the accuracy of inspection work.

[0032] The payment automation unit can generate payment instructions based on the payee's bank account information and send them to the bank system. For example, when an invoice is uploaded, the payment automation unit's generation AI analyzes its contents and extracts data such as the issue date, invoice amount, and payee information. At the same time, it uses an emotion estimation function to analyze employees' emotions regarding the invoice contents. For example, it detects stress or dissatisfaction regarding the invoice contents. After extracting the invoice data, the payment automation unit also uses the emotion estimation function to analyze employees' emotions in real time. For example, it calculates an emotion score regarding the invoice contents and identifies stressful tasks. The payment automation unit also uses the emotion estimation function to build a system that analyzes employees' emotions regarding the invoice contents and identifies stressful tasks. For example, it makes improvement suggestions for tasks with high emotion scores, reducing workloads. This automates payment procedures, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of payments.

[0033] The payment automation unit can notify users when payments are late or when payments are completed. For example, when an invoice is uploaded, the generation AI analyzes its contents and extracts data such as the issue date, invoice amount, and payee information. Based on the extracted data, the generation AI automatically displays a message prompting users to simultaneously upload related contracts and purchase orders. For example, the system instructs users to select the contract or purchase order files related to the invoice. The payment automation unit also builds a system in which, when uploading an invoice, the generation AI automatically searches for and prompts users to upload related contracts and purchase orders. For example, the system automatically suggests related files based on the invoice contents. The payment automation unit also provides an interface that prompts the generation AI to simultaneously upload related contracts and purchase orders when uploading an invoice. For example, the system adds an upload button for related files to the invoice upload screen. This allows users to monitor payment status in real time and respond quickly if an abnormality occurs.

[0034] The data extraction unit can predict future payment schedules based on past payment history. For example, when an invoice is uploaded, the generation AI analyzes its contents and extracts data such as the issue date, invoice amount, and payee information. Based on the extracted data, the generation AI automatically performs related tax processing. For example, it automates the calculation of consumption tax and the preparation of tax returns. The data extraction unit also builds a system in which, after extracting invoice data, the generation AI automatically performs related tax processing. For example, it automatically generates a tax return based on the invoice content and submits it to the tax office. Furthermore, when an invoice is uploaded, the data extraction unit allows the generation AI to automatically execute the process of related tax processing in real time. For example, it analyzes the invoice content and generates a tax return within seconds. This allows for the prediction of future payment schedules, thereby improving the efficiency of cash management.

[0035] The data extraction unit extracts invoice data, which the generation AI can automatically translate into different languages. For example, when an image or PDF file of an invoice is uploaded, the data extraction unit allows the generation AI to analyze its contents and extract data such as the issue date, invoice amount, and payee information. The extracted data is automatically translated into different languages ​​to accommodate international transactions. For example, a Japanese invoice can be translated into English or Chinese. The data extraction unit also allows the generation AI to automatically translate into different languages ​​and provides an interface for checking the translation results. For example, the content of the invoice translated into English can be checked and corrected as necessary. The data extraction unit also allows the generation AI to automatically translate into different languages ​​in real time. For example, when an invoice is uploaded, the translation results are displayed within a few seconds, allowing for quick response to international transactions. This allows invoice data to be automatically translated to accommodate international transactions.

[0036] The data extraction unit compares invoice data with past transaction data when extracting it, enabling the automatic detection of fraudulent invoices. For example, when an invoice is uploaded, the generation AI analyzes its contents and extracts data such as the issue date, invoice amount, and payee information. The extracted data is compared with past transaction data to automatically detect fraudulent invoices. For example, invoice amounts and payee information that do not match past transaction data are detected. The data extraction unit also performs a real-time process in which the generation AI compares the data with past transaction data to automatically detect fraudulent invoices. For example, when an invoice is uploaded, a fraudulent invoice is detected within seconds, and an alert is issued. The data extraction unit also builds a system in which the generation AI compares the data with past transaction data to automatically detect fraudulent invoices. For example, it references a past transaction database and notifies users if a fraudulent invoice is detected. This automatic detection of fraudulent invoices helps prevent fraud and errors.

[0037] The data extraction unit can prompt the generation AI to automatically upload related contracts or purchase orders at the same time when uploading an invoice. For example, when an invoice is uploaded, the data extraction unit analyzes the contents of the invoice and displays a message prompting the generation AI to also upload related contracts and purchase orders at the same time. For example, the data extraction unit instructs the user to select files of contracts or purchase orders related to the invoice. The data extraction unit also builds a system in which, when an invoice is uploaded, the generation AI automatically searches for related contracts and purchase orders and prompts the user to upload them. For example, the data extraction unit automatically suggests related files based on the content of the invoice. The data extraction unit also provides an interface that prompts the generation AI to also upload related contracts and purchase orders at the same time when uploading an invoice. For example, the data extraction unit adds an upload button for related files to the invoice upload screen. This allows the simultaneous upload of related contracts and purchase orders, thereby streamlining the inspection process.

[0038] After the data extraction unit extracts invoice data, the generation AI automatically performs the relevant tax processing, reducing the effort required for tax returns. For example, when an invoice is uploaded, the data extraction unit allows the generation AI to analyze its contents and extract data such as the issue date, invoice amount, and payee information. Based on the extracted data, the generation AI automatically performs the relevant tax processing. For example, it automates the calculation of consumption tax and the preparation of tax returns.

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 specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the headset type terminal 314 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio 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 audio data.

[0146] 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 AI 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.

[0147] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset type terminal 314, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset type terminal 314. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the headset type terminal 314 or an external device, etc., and the headset type terminal 314 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0148] [Fourth embodiment] FIG. 7 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0149] 7, a data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0150] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN and / or a LAN.

[0151] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication I / F 44, and a control target 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the control target 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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 image sensor or a CCD 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).

[0154] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.

[0155] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0158] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.

[0159] 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 specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 also 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 perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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 AI 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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).

[0168] 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 "reaction" domain, where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "situation" domain, where situational awareness is dominant.

[0169] 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."

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.
