[0053] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0054] When analyzing messages and content on social media, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by taking into account the user's past behavioral patterns. For example, by analyzing what kind of messages the user has responded to in the past and what kind of content they prefer to view, it is possible to detect inappropriate content with greater accuracy. The analysis unit can also refer to the history of warning messages the user has received in the past and adjust the strength of the warning if a similar pattern is observed. Furthermore, the analysis unit can evaluate the risk for specific time periods and situations based on the user's past behavioral patterns and adjust the priority of the analysis. This allows for more effective analysis and warnings by taking into account the user's behavioral patterns.

[0055] When analyzing messages and content on social media, the analysis unit can evaluate the trustworthiness of the message sender. For example, if the sender has a history of sending inappropriate messages in the past, the unit can evaluate the sender's trustworthiness low and prioritize the display of a warning message. Also, if the sender is a trustworthy person, the unit can refrain from displaying a warning message. Furthermore, the analysis priority can be adjusted based on the sender's trustworthiness. This allows for more effective analysis and warnings by taking the sender's trustworthiness into consideration.

[0056] The notification unit can adjust the way the notification content is expressed depending on the parent's internet literacy. For example, for parents with low internet literacy, the notification content can be displayed in simple language to make it easier to understand. For parents with high internet literacy, detailed notification content can be displayed to encourage deeper understanding. Furthermore, notification content including technical terms can be displayed to parents who can understand technical terms. This makes it possible to provide appropriate notifications by adjusting the way the notification content is expressed depending on the parent's internet literacy.

[0057] When analyzing messages and content on social media, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by taking into account the geographic location information of the message sender. For example, messages from a specific region can be evaluated as being highly dangerous. Messages from overseas can also be evaluated as containing content requiring caution. Furthermore, messages from the user's residential area can be evaluated with normal analysis accuracy. This allows for more accurate detection of inappropriate content by taking into account the geographical source of the message.

[0058] The notification unit can adjust the priority of notification content by referring to the guardian's past notification history. For example, if the guardian has a history of ignoring notifications in the past, notifications with similar content can be displayed with priority to attract their attention. Also, if the guardian has a history of following notifications in the past, notifications with similar content can be displayed with normal priority. Furthermore, based on the history of notifications received by the guardian in the past, notifications with high importance can also be displayed with priority. In this way, by referring to the guardian's past notification history, the priority of notification content can be adjusted, enabling more effective notifications.

[0059] When analyzing messages and content on social media, the analysis unit takes into account the context of the message to more accurately detect inappropriate content. For example, it can analyze the context of the message and detect inappropriate content based on the context. It can also take into account the continuity of messages to detect content that is acceptable when used alone but inappropriate when used in succession. It can also analyze the tone and nuance of the message to detect inappropriate content based on the context. This allows for more accurate detection of inappropriate content by taking into account the context of the message.

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

[0061] Step 1: The analysis unit analyzes messages and content on social media to detect inappropriate or dangerous content. For example, text analysis can be used to detect violent or discriminatory language, image analysis to detect sexual content, and audio analysis to detect potentially fraudulent messages. Step 2: The warning unit displays a warning message to the minor based on the inappropriate content detected by the analysis unit. For example, the warning message may be a text message such as "This message contains dangerous content. Please do not reply.", or a pop-up notification or a voice alert. Step 3: The notification unit notifies the parent of the warning message generated by the warning unit. For example, the notification unit notifies the parent of an overview via email, SMS, or in-app notification, such as "The message your child received contained dangerous content. Please discuss the details with your child."

[0062] (Example 2) A system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a tool for preventing young people from becoming involved in crimes on social media. The system uses generative AI to analyze messages and content on social media to detect inappropriate or dangerous content. It then displays a warning message to young people based on the detected inappropriate content. Furthermore, if a problem occurs, it notifies parents of a summary while protecting the user's privacy. For example, the system analyzes messages and content on social media to detect violent language, sexual content, or potentially fraudulent messages. Based on the detected inappropriate content, the system then displays a warning message to young people, such as "This message contains dangerous content. Please do not reply." It also displays educational messages to young people, such as "Please be careful when handling personal information on social media."

Methods for considering the time when the problem occurred include, but are not limited to, risk assessment by time period and prioritization according to the time of occurrence. Methods for determining the priority of notifications include, but are not limited to, prioritization based on risk assessment and setting priorities according to urgency. For example, the notification unit can prioritize displaying notification content for problems that occurred late at night. The notification unit can also display notification content that calls attention to problems that occurred during school hours. The notification unit can also display regular notification content for problems that occurred on holidays. This enables appropriate notification by determining the priority of notifications based on the time when the problem occurred. Some or all of the above-described processing by the notification unit can be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or without using a generation AI. For example, the notification unit can input data on the time when the problem occurred into the generation AI and have the generation AI determine the priority of notifications.

[0091] The notification unit can adjust the order of notifications based on the relevance of the questions when notifying the user. Methods for evaluating the relevance of questions include, but are not limited to, content similarity and extraction of related topics. Methods for adjusting the order of notifications include, but are not limited to, ordering based on relevance and changing the display order according to priority. For example, the notification unit can display notification content first for important questions. The notification unit can also display notification content second for questions of medium importance. The notification unit can also display notification content last for questions of low importance. This allows for appropriate notifications by adjusting the order of notifications based on the relevance of the questions. Some or all of the above-described processing in the notification unit can be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the notification unit can input question relevance data into the generation AI and have the generation AI adjust the order of notifications.

[0092] The notification unit can adjust the use of technical terms in the notification depending on the parent's internet literacy when providing the notification. Methods for assessing internet literacy include, but are not limited to, survey results and past behavioral history. Methods for adjusting the use of technical terms include, but are not limited to, selecting terms appropriate for the parent's internet literacy and using simple expressions. For example, the notification unit can display notification content in simple language to parents with low internet literacy. The notification unit can also display detailed notification content to parents with high internet literacy. The notification unit can also display notification content including technical terms to parents who can understand technical terms. This allows for appropriate notification by adjusting the use of technical terms in the notification depending on the parent's internet literacy. Some or all of the above-described processing in the notification unit can be performed using, or without, a generation AI.

[0093] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0094] When analyzing messages and content on social media, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by taking into account the user's past behavioral patterns. For example, by analyzing what kind of messages the user has responded to in the past and what kind of content they prefer to view, it is possible to detect inappropriate content with greater accuracy. The analysis unit can also refer to the history of warning messages the user has received in the past and adjust the strength of the warning if a similar pattern is observed. Furthermore, the analysis unit can evaluate the risk for specific time periods and situations based on the user's past behavioral patterns and adjust the priority of the analysis. This allows for more effective analysis and warnings by taking into account the user's behavioral patterns.

[0095] The warning unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of displaying the warning message based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the burden on the user can be reduced by temporarily delaying the display of the warning message. Furthermore, if the user is relaxed, the warning message can be displayed immediately to prompt a prompt response. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the warning message can be displayed in stages to attract the user's attention. Thus, by adjusting the timing of displaying the warning message based on the user's emotions, more effective warnings can be provided.

[0096] The notification unit can estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the level of detail of the notification content based on the estimated parent's emotions. For example, if the parent is feeling anxious, detailed notification content can be displayed to provide a sense of security. If the parent is relaxed, concise notification content can be displayed to avoid providing excessive information. Furthermore, if the parent is excited, important information can be highlighted to encourage a prompt response. Thus, by adjusting the level of detail of the notification content based on the parent's emotions, more appropriate notifications can be provided.

[0097] When analyzing messages and content on social media, the analysis unit can evaluate the trustworthiness of the message sender. For example, if the sender has a history of sending inappropriate messages in the past, the unit can evaluate the sender's trustworthiness low and prioritize the display of a warning message. Also, if the sender is a trustworthy person, the unit can refrain from displaying a warning message. Furthermore, the analysis priority can be adjusted based on the sender's trustworthiness. This allows for more effective analysis and warnings by taking the sender's trustworthiness into consideration.

[0098] The warning unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display format of the warning message based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user is feeling anxious, a visually friendly warning message can be displayed to reduce the burden on the user. If the user is relaxed, a normal warning message can be displayed. Furthermore, if the user is excited, a visually emphasized warning message can be displayed to attract the user's attention. Thus, by adjusting the display format of the warning message based on the user's emotions, more effective warnings can be provided.

[0099] The notification unit can adjust the way the notification content is expressed depending on the parent's internet literacy. For example, for parents with low internet literacy, the notification content can be displayed in simple language to make it easier to understand. For parents with high internet literacy, detailed notification content can be displayed to encourage deeper understanding. Furthermore, notification content including technical terms can be displayed to parents who can understand technical terms. This makes it possible to provide appropriate notifications by adjusting the way the notification content is expressed depending on the parent's internet literacy.

[0100] When analyzing messages and content on social media, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by taking into account the geographic location information of the message sender. For example, messages from a specific region can be evaluated as being highly dangerous. Messages from overseas can also be evaluated as containing content requiring caution. Furthermore, messages from the user's residential area can be evaluated with normal analysis accuracy. This allows for more accurate detection of inappropriate content by taking into account the geographical source of the message.

[0101] The warning unit can estimate the user's emotions and customize the content of the warning message based on the estimated user's emotions. For example, if the user feels anxious, a warning message including specific measures and advice can be displayed to provide a sense of security. If the user feels relaxed, a concise warning message can be displayed. Furthermore, if the user feels excited, an emphasized warning message calling for caution can be displayed. This allows for more effective warnings by customizing the content of the warning message based on the user's emotions.

[0102] The notification unit can adjust the priority of notification content by referring to the guardian's past notification history. For example, if the guardian has a history of ignoring notifications in the past, notifications with similar content can be displayed with priority to attract their attention. Also, if the guardian has a history of following notifications in the past, notifications with similar content can be displayed with normal priority. Furthermore, based on the history of notifications received by the guardian in the past, notifications with high importance can also be displayed with priority. In this way, by referring to the guardian's past notification history, the priority of notification content can be adjusted, enabling more effective notifications.

[0103] When analyzing messages and content on social media, the analysis unit takes into account the context of the message to more accurately detect inappropriate content. For example, it can analyze the context of the message and detect inappropriate content based on the context. It can also take into account the continuity of messages to detect content that is acceptable when used alone but inappropriate when used in succession. It can also analyze the tone and nuance of the message to detect inappropriate content based on the context. This allows for more accurate detection of inappropriate content by taking into account the context of the message.

[0104] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0105] Step 1: The analysis unit analyzes messages and content on social media to detect inappropriate or dangerous content. For example, text analysis can be used to detect violent or discriminatory language, image analysis to detect sexual content, and audio analysis to detect potentially fraudulent messages. Step 2: The warning unit displays a warning message to the minor based on the inappropriate content detected by the analysis unit. For example, the warning message may be a text message such as "This message contains dangerous content. Please do not reply.", or a pop-up notification or a voice alert. Step 3: The notification unit notifies the parent of the warning message generated by the warning unit. For example, the notification unit notifies the parent of an overview via email, SMS, or in-app notification, such as "The message your child received contained dangerous content. Please discuss the details with your child."

[0106] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B 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 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0107] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search engine).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of generative AIs include the data generation model 58, such as a neural network model (e.g., a neural network model), and a neural network model (e.g., a neural network model). The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input to the data generation model 58. 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 specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification 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 ​​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.

[0108] Furthermore, the processing by the data processing system 10 described above is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the smart device 14, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the smart device 14. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the smart device 14 or an external device, and the smart device 14 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0109] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0141] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0142] [Fourth embodiment] FIG. 7 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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).

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] In the robot 414, the processor 46 performs the identification process. The storage 50 stores the identification program 60. The processor 46 reads the identification program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read identification program 60 on the RAM 48. The identification process is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the identification 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 the same process as the identification processing unit 290 using these models.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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).

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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."

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.
