[0028] (Example 1) A generative AI tool according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that acquires the brain waves of a care recipient or medical care recipient, analyzes their emotions using deep learning, and displays the content verbalized by the generative AI on a monitor. The generative AI tool supports communication between caregivers and medical professionals by acquiring the brain waves of the care recipient or medical care recipient, analyzing their emotions using deep learning, and displaying the content verbalized by the generative AI on a monitor. For example, the generative AI tool acquires the brain waves of the care recipient or medical care recipient. For example, the generative AI tool can acquire brain waves in real time using a dedicated EEG sensor. The generative AI tool then analyzes the acquired brain wave data using deep learning. Deep learning uses a recurrent neural network (RNN) or long short-term memory (LSTM) to learn a model for analyzing emotions from brain wave data. For example, the generative AI tool learns brain wave patterns during relaxation and stress and analyzes emotions based on the learned brain wave patterns. Next, the generative AI tool generates linguistic expressions based on the analyzed emotional data. The generative AI uses a Transformer model to generate appropriate language expressions based on emotional data. For example, the generative AI tool generates language expressions such as "relaxed" or "stressed." The generative AI tool then displays the generated language expressions on a monitor. This allows caregivers and medical professionals to understand the emotions of the care recipient or medical care recipient in real time. For example, when the care recipient is relaxed, the generative AI tool displays "relaxed," and when the care recipient is stressed, it displays "stressed." This allows the generative AI tool to accurately understand the emotions of the care recipient or medical care recipient and provide appropriate responses. For example, when the care recipient is stressed, a relaxing environment can be provided. Furthermore, when the medical care recipient is relaxed, treatment can be carried out with peace of mind.In this way, by combining emotion analysis using brain waves with verbalization using generative AI, it is possible to resolve thoughts and communication that cannot be put into words, and support communication in nursing and medical settings.
[0029] The generation AI tool according to the embodiment includes an acquisition unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, and a display unit. The acquisition unit acquires electroencephalography (EEG) data from a care recipient or a medical care recipient. The electroencephalography (EEG) data from a care recipient or a medical care recipient may be obtained by, but is not limited to, electroencephalography (EEG). The acquisition unit may acquire the electroencephalogram in real time using a dedicated EEG sensor. The acquisition unit may also consider a sensor placement method for obtaining electroencephalogram data with high accuracy and the accuracy of data acquisition. For example, the acquisition unit may place an EEG sensor on the head and acquire the electroencephalogram data in real time. The analysis unit may analyze the electroencephalogram data acquired by the acquisition unit using deep learning to analyze emotions. For example, algorithms such as a recurrent neural network (RNN) or a long short-term memory (LSTM) may be used to analyze emotions, but are not limited to, examples. For example, the analysis unit may analyze the electroencephalogram data using an RNN to analyze emotions with high accuracy. The analysis unit may also analyze the electroencephalogram data using an LSTM to analyze emotions. The analysis unit can also learn multiple brain wave patterns and identify different emotional states. For example, the analysis unit can learn brain wave patterns when relaxed and when stressed, and analyze emotions based on the learned patterns. The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate a linguistic expression based on the emotional data analyzed by the analysis unit. The generation AI can be, for example, a Transformer model, but is not limited to this example. For example, the generation unit can generate an appropriate linguistic expression based on the emotional data using a Transformer model. The generation unit can also evaluate the accuracy of the generated linguistic expression and improve the model. For example, the generation unit can evaluate the accuracy of the generated linguistic expression and improve the accuracy of the model. The display unit displays the linguistic expression generated by the generation unit on a monitor. For example, the display unit displays the generated linguistic expression on a monitor in real time. The display unit can also estimate the emotion of the care recipient or medical care recipient and adjust the display method based on the estimated emotion. For example, if the care recipient is relaxed, the display unit displays the image in a gentle color.As a result, the generation AI tool according to the embodiment can grasp the emotions of care recipients and medical recipients in real time and support communication between caregivers and medical professionals.
[0030] The acquisition unit can acquire brain waves in real time using an EEG sensor. EEG sensors include, but are not limited to, head-mounted and ear-worn types. The acquisition unit can acquire brain waves in real time using, for example, a head-mounted EEG sensor. The acquisition unit can also acquire brain waves in real time using an ear-worn EEG sensor. For example, the acquisition unit acquires brain waves with high accuracy using an ear-worn EEG sensor. The acquisition unit can also adjust the sensor placement method and data acquisition accuracy to improve the accuracy of brain wave data acquisition. For example, the acquisition unit places an EEG sensor at a specific position on the head and acquires brain wave data with high accuracy. By acquiring brain waves in real time, the condition of a care recipient or medical care recipient can be immediately grasped. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input brain wave data acquired by the EEG sensor to a generation AI and cause the generation AI to perform real-time data analysis.
[0031] The analysis unit can analyze emotions by analyzing the EEG data using a recurrent neural network (RNN) or a long short-term memory (LSTM). Examples of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) include, but are not limited to, standard RNNs and gated RNNs. The analysis unit can analyze emotions by analyzing the EEG data using, for example, a standard RNN. The analysis unit can also analyze emotions by analyzing the EEG data using a gated RNN. For example, the analysis unit can analyze EEG data with high accuracy by using a gated RNN. Examples of long short-term memories (LSTMs) include, but are not limited to, standard LSTMs and bidirectional LSTMs. The analysis unit can analyze emotions by analyzing the EEG data using, for example, a standard LSTM. The analysis unit can also analyze emotions by analyzing the EEG data using a bidirectional LSTM. For example, the analysis unit can analyze EEG data with high accuracy by using a bidirectional LSTM. As a result, emotions can be analyzed from EEG data with high accuracy by using an RNN or LSTM. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit may input EEG data to the generation AI and have the generation AI analyze emotions.
[0032] The generation unit can generate a linguistic expression based on emotion data using a Transformer model. Transformer models include, but are not limited to, a standard Transformer and an improved Transformer. The generation unit can generate a linguistic expression based on emotion data using, for example, a standard Transformer. The generation unit can also generate a linguistic expression based on emotion data using an improved Transformer. For example, the generation unit converts emotion data into a linguistic expression with high accuracy using the improved Transformer. The generation unit can also evaluate the accuracy of the generated linguistic expression and improve the model. For example, the generation unit evaluates the accuracy of the generated linguistic expression and improves the accuracy of the model. In this way, appropriate linguistic expressions can be generated from emotion data by using a Transformer model. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit can be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or can be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input emotion data to a generation AI and cause the generation AI to generate a linguistic expression.
[0033] The display unit can display the generated linguistic expression on a monitor. For example, the display unit displays the generated linguistic expression on the monitor in real time. The display unit can also estimate the emotion of the care recipient or medical recipient and adjust the display method based on the estimated emotion. For example, if the care recipient is relaxed, the display unit displays the expression in a calm color. The display unit can also provide a simple, highly visible display method if the medical recipient is stressed. For example, the display unit provides a simple, highly visible display method for a stressed medical recipient. The display unit can also provide a visually emphasized display method for an excited care recipient. For example, the display unit provides a visually emphasized display method for an excited care recipient. By displaying the generated linguistic expression on the monitor, caregivers and medical professionals can visually grasp the emotion of the care recipient or medical recipient. Some or all of the above-described processing in the display unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the display unit can input the generated linguistic expression to a generation AI and have the generation AI adjust the display method.
[0034] The analysis unit can learn multiple brain wave patterns and identify different emotional states. For example, the analysis unit learns brain wave patterns when relaxed and brain wave patterns when stressed, and analyzes emotions based on the learned patterns. The analysis unit can also learn multiple brain wave patterns and build a model for identifying different emotional states. For example, the analysis unit learns brain wave patterns when relaxed and identifies a relaxed state based on the learned patterns. The analysis unit can also learn brain wave patterns when stressed and identifies a stressed state based on the learned patterns. The analysis unit can also combine multiple brain wave patterns to identify more detailed emotional states. For example, the analysis unit combines brain wave patterns when relaxed and when stressed to analyze emotional changes in detail. By learning multiple brain wave patterns, different emotional states can be identified with high accuracy. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input brain wave data to a generation AI and have the generation AI identify emotional states.
[0035] The generation unit can evaluate the accuracy of the generated linguistic expressions and improve the model. For example, the generation unit sets an evaluation index for evaluating the accuracy of the generated linguistic expressions. The generation unit can also evaluate the accuracy of the generated linguistic expressions based on the evaluation index and provide feedback for improving the model. For example, the generation unit evaluates the accuracy of the generated linguistic expressions and improves the accuracy of the model based on the evaluation results. The generation unit can also prepare a test dataset for evaluating the accuracy of the generated linguistic expressions and verify the accuracy of the model using the dataset. For example, the generation unit evaluates the accuracy of the generated linguistic expressions using the test dataset and improves the model based on the evaluation results. In this way, the accuracy of the model can be improved by evaluating the accuracy of the generated linguistic expressions. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input the generated linguistic expressions to a generation AI and cause the generation AI to evaluate the accuracy.
[0036] The acquisition unit can analyze the past EEG data of the care recipient or medical care recipient and select the optimal acquisition method. The acquisition unit, for example, uses an algorithm for analyzing the past EEG data of the care recipient or medical care recipient. The acquisition unit can also set criteria for selecting the optimal acquisition method based on the past EEG data. For example, the acquisition unit can analyze the past EEG data of the care recipient and select an acquisition method for when the care recipient is relaxed. The acquisition unit can also analyze the past EEG data of the medical care recipient and select an acquisition method for when the care recipient is feeling stressed. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can analyze the past EEG data of the care recipient and select an acquisition method for when the care recipient is sleeping. In this way, the optimal acquisition method can be selected by analyzing the past EEG data. Some or all of the above-described processing in the acquisition unit may be performed, for example, using AI or without AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input the past EEG data into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to select the optimal acquisition method.
[0037] When acquiring EEG data, the acquisition unit can filter the data based on the current health condition and environment of the care recipient or medical care recipient. The acquisition unit, for example, uses an algorithm for evaluating the current health condition of the care recipient or medical care recipient. The acquisition unit can also set criteria for filtering EEG data based on the current environment. For example, the acquisition unit can acquire EEG data when the care recipient's health condition is good and filter data when the care recipient's health condition is poor. The acquisition unit can also acquire EEG data when the medical care recipient's treatment environment is quiet and filter data when there is noise. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can acquire EEG data when the care recipient's sleep environment is appropriate and filter data when the environment is inappropriate. By filtering based on the health condition and environment, more accurate EEG data can be acquired. Some or all of the above-described processing in the acquisition unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or without AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input health condition and environmental data into a generation AI and leave the filtering to the generation AI.
[0038] When acquiring EEG data, the acquisition unit can select the optimal acquisition means depending on the input method of the care recipient or medical care recipient. The acquisition unit, for example, uses an algorithm for evaluating the input method of the care recipient or medical care recipient. The acquisition unit can also set criteria for selecting the optimal acquisition means depending on the input method. For example, if the care recipient uses voice input, the acquisition unit can acquire EEG data based on the voice. If the medical care recipient uses text input, the acquisition unit can also acquire EEG data based on the text. Furthermore, if the care recipient uses image input, the acquisition unit can also acquire EEG data based on the image. This allows for more appropriate EEG data to be acquired by selecting the optimal acquisition means depending on the input method. Some or all of the above-described processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input input method data to a generation AI and cause the generation AI to select the optimal acquisition means.
[0039] When acquiring EEG data, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquisition of highly relevant data by taking into account the geographical location information of the care recipient or medical care recipient. The acquisition unit, for example, uses an algorithm for acquiring the geographical location information of the care recipient or medical care recipient. The acquisition unit can also set criteria for prioritized acquisition of highly relevant data based on the geographical location information. For example, the acquisition unit prioritizes acquisition of EEG data when the care recipient is at home. The acquisition unit can also prioritize acquisition of EEG data when the medical care recipient is in a hospital. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can also prioritize acquisition of EEG data when the care recipient is in a specific facility. This allows highly relevant data to be acquired preferentially by taking the geographical location information into account. Some or all of the above-described processing by the acquisition unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input geographical location information to a generation AI and cause the generation AI to acquire highly relevant data.
[0040] The acquisition unit can analyze the social media activity of the care recipient or medical care recipient when acquiring the brain waves and acquire related data. The acquisition unit, for example, uses an algorithm for analyzing the social media activity of the care recipient or medical care recipient. The acquisition unit can also set criteria for acquiring related data based on the social media activity. For example, the acquisition unit can analyze posts made by the care recipient on social media when they are relaxing and acquire brain wave data. The acquisition unit can also analyze posts made by the medical care recipient on social media when they are feeling stressed and acquire brain wave data. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can analyze posts made by the care recipient on social media when they are sleeping and acquire brain wave data. In this way, related brain wave data can be acquired by analyzing social media activity. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the acquisition unit can be performed, for example, using AI or without AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input social media activity data to a generation AI and cause the generation AI to acquire related brain wave data.
[0041] The acquisition unit can customize the acquisition method by reflecting past feedback from the care recipient or medical care recipient when acquiring EEG data. The acquisition unit, for example, uses an algorithm for analyzing past feedback from the care recipient or medical care recipient. The acquisition unit can also set criteria for customizing the acquisition method based on past feedback. For example, the acquisition unit customizes the acquisition method for when the care recipient is relaxed based on past feedback from the care recipient. The acquisition unit can also customize the acquisition method for when the care recipient is stressed based on past feedback from the medical care recipient. The acquisition unit can also customize the acquisition method for when the care recipient is sleeping based on past feedback from the care recipient. This allows the acquisition method to be customized by reflecting past feedback. Some or all of the above-described processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input past feedback data into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to customize the acquisition method.
[0042] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the EEG data. The analysis unit, for example, uses an algorithm for evaluating the importance of the EEG data. The analysis unit can also set criteria for adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance. For example, the analysis unit can analyze EEG data with high importance in detail and analyze data with low importance in a simplified manner. The analysis unit can also prioritize analysis of EEG data with high importance and postpone analysis of data with low importance. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze EEG data with high importance in detail and filter data with low importance. This enables efficient analysis by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the EEG data. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the importance of the EEG data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the level of detail of the analysis.
[0043] During analysis, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of EEG data. The analysis unit, for example, uses an algorithm for classifying the category of EEG data. The analysis unit can also set criteria for applying different analysis algorithms depending on the category. For example, the analysis unit can apply a specific algorithm to EEG data when the subject is relaxed. The analysis unit can also apply a different algorithm to EEG data when the subject is stressed. Furthermore, the analysis unit can apply a dedicated algorithm to EEG data when the subject is sleeping. This allows for more accurate analysis by applying different analysis algorithms depending on the category of EEG data. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the category of EEG data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to apply different analysis algorithms.
[0044] During analysis, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to past analysis results of the care recipient or medical care recipient. The analysis unit, for example, uses an algorithm for referencing past analysis results of the care recipient or medical care recipient. The analysis unit can also set standards for improving the accuracy of the analysis based on past analysis results. For example, the analysis unit can improve the analysis accuracy when the care recipient is relaxed based on past analysis results of the care recipient. The analysis unit can also improve the analysis accuracy when the medical care recipient is feeling stressed based on past analysis results of the care recipient. Furthermore, the analysis unit can improve the analysis accuracy when the care recipient is sleeping based on past analysis results of the care recipient. In this way, the accuracy of the analysis can be improved by referring to past analysis results. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input past analysis results into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to improve the accuracy of the analysis.
[0045] During analysis, the analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on the time when the EEG data was acquired. The analysis unit, for example, uses an algorithm for evaluating the time when the EEG data was acquired. The analysis unit can also set criteria for determining the priority of analysis based on the time when the data was acquired. For example, the analysis unit can prioritize analyzing the most recent EEG data and postpone analyzing older data. The analysis unit can also prioritize analyzing EEG data from important events. Furthermore, the analysis unit can prioritize analyzing EEG data from specific time periods. This enables efficient analysis by determining the priority of analysis based on the time when the EEG data was acquired. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the time when the EEG data was acquired into the generation AI and have the generation AI determine the priority of analysis.
[0046] During analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of the EEG data. The analysis unit, for example, uses an algorithm for evaluating the relevance of the EEG data. The analysis unit can also set criteria for adjusting the order of analysis based on the relevance. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes analysis of highly relevant EEG data. The analysis unit can also postpone analysis of less relevant EEG data. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze highly relevant EEG data in detail and analyze less relevant data simply. This enables efficient analysis by adjusting the order of analysis based on the relevance of the EEG data. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.

[0170] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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).
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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."
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
