[0028] (Example 1) An e-commerce site service according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a generative AI to suggest products and services that can help users achieve their true desires. While conventional e-commerce sites require users to search for products based on their own subjective opinions and knowledge, the present invention uses a generative AI as an interface to elicit the user's latent needs and then suggests optimal products and services based on those needs. For example, a user inputs a request to the generative AI in natural language, such as "I want to create a relaxing space." This input is sent to the generative AI, which analyzes it and identifies the user's true desires. The generative AI then understands the user's input and elicits the underlying latent needs. For example, the specific need, such as "I need furniture, interior decor, and aroma products for relaxation," is identified. Based on the identified needs, the generative AI searches for products and services within the e-commerce site and makes optimal suggestions. For example, it suggests furniture, interior decor, and aroma products for relaxation. These suggestions select the products and services that best fit the user's desires and goals, allowing the user to find the best options to fulfill their desires. Furthermore, the generative AI receives user feedback and improves the suggestions. When users input ratings and comments on suggested products and services, the AI learns from that feedback and incorporates it into future suggestions. This improves the accuracy of suggestions and increases user satisfaction. This allows e-commerce site services to easily find products and services that will help users achieve their true goals without relying on the user's subjective opinion or knowledge. For example, if a user wishes to create a relaxing space, the AI can suggest the most suitable furniture, interior design, and aroma products, allowing the user to realize their ideal space.
[0029] An e-commerce site service according to an embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a proposal unit, and a learning unit. The reception unit inputs a user's specific wishes and objectives in natural language. For example, the user may input a wish such as "I want to create a relaxing space." The analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the specific wishes and objectives input by the reception unit and identify the user's potential needs. For example, the generation AI uses natural language processing technology to understand the user's wishes and objectives and identify the underlying potential needs. The proposal unit searches for and proposes products and services based on the needs identified by the analysis unit. For example, the proposal unit makes optimal proposals taking into account product ratings, reviews, price, stock availability, etc. The learning unit collects user feedback on the products and services proposed by the proposal unit and improves the proposals. For example, the learning unit collects user ratings and comments and improves the proposals using a machine learning algorithm. As a result, the e-commerce site service according to an embodiment can propose optimal products and services based on the user's wishes and objectives and improve the proposals by reflecting the feedback.
[0030] The analysis unit can use natural language processing technology to understand the user's wishes and objectives and identify the underlying latent needs. Natural language processing technology includes, but is not limited to, morphological analysis, grammatical analysis, and semantic analysis. For example, the analysis unit uses morphological analysis to break down the user's input content into words and grammatical analysis to analyze the sentence structure. The analysis unit can also use semantic analysis to understand the meaning of the user's input content and identify the underlying latent needs. For example, if the user inputs "I want to create a relaxing space," the analysis unit can use morphological analysis to extract words such as "relaxation," "space," and "want to create," analyze the sentence structure using grammatical analysis, and identify specific needs such as "I need furniture, interior design, and aroma products for relaxation" using semantic analysis. In this way, natural language processing technology can more accurately identify the user's latent needs.
[0031] The suggestion unit can make appropriate suggestions by taking into consideration product ratings, reviews, prices, and stock status. Product ratings and reviews include, but are not limited to, star ratings, comments, and user feedback, for example. The suggestion unit selects an optimal product based on, for example, the star ratings of the product. The suggestion unit can also select an optimal product based on product comments and user feedback. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can make optimal suggestions by taking into consideration the price and stock status of the product. For example, the suggestion unit selects a product by taking into consideration discount prices, market prices, competitive prices, etc. The suggestion unit can also select a product by taking into consideration real-time inventory, predicted inventory, etc. In this way, it is possible to suggest optimal products and services to the user by taking into consideration product ratings, reviews, prices, stock status, etc.
[0032] The learning unit can collect user ratings and comments and improve the suggestions using a machine learning algorithm. Examples of machine learning algorithms include, but are not limited to, neural networks, decision trees, and support vector machines. For example, the learning unit can collect user ratings and comments and improve the suggestions using a neural network. The learning unit can also analyze user ratings and comments using a decision tree to improve the suggestions. Furthermore, the learning unit can analyze user ratings and comments using a support vector machine to improve the suggestions. In this way, the suggestions can be continuously improved by collecting user ratings and comments and using a machine learning algorithm.
[0033] The suggestion unit can suggest furniture, interior items, and aroma products for relaxation. Examples of furniture, interior items, and aroma products for relaxation include, but are not limited to, sofas, lighting, and aroma diffusers. The suggestion unit can suggest, for example, sofas for relaxation. The suggestion unit can also suggest lighting for relaxation.

In this way, by learning user feedback and reflecting it in subsequent proposals, the accuracy of proposals can be improved.
[0035] Furthermore, the e-commerce site service includes a reception unit that analyzes the user's past input history and suggests the optimal input method. The reception unit uses a generation AI to analyze the user's past input history and suggests the optimal input method. For example, the reception unit automatically displays as candidates the wishes and purposes that the user has frequently entered in the past. It can also preferentially suggest input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. It can also predict and suggest the wishes and purposes to be used during a specific time period from the user's past input history. In this way, it is possible to suggest the optimal input method by analyzing the user's past input history. Past input history includes, for example, log data, a history database, etc., but is not limited to these examples.
[0036] Furthermore, the e-commerce site service includes a reception unit that provides various input methods using voice recognition and image recognition when the user inputs information. The reception unit uses the generation AI to provide various input methods using voice recognition and image recognition when the user inputs information. For example, when the user inputs their wishes or goals by voice, the generation AI analyzes the input content using voice recognition technology. Also, when the user uploads an image, the generation AI can identify the wishes or goals using image recognition technology. Furthermore, the generation AI can analyze content entered by handwriting by the user using handwriting recognition technology. In this way, various input methods can be provided to the user using voice recognition and image recognition. Examples of voice recognition and image recognition include, but are not limited to, voice commands and image capture.
[0037] Furthermore, the e-commerce site service includes a reception unit that analyzes user input content in real time and provides appropriate feedback immediately. The reception unit uses a generation AI to analyze the user input content in real time and provide appropriate feedback immediately. For example, when a user inputs their wishes or goals, the generation AI analyzes the input content in real time and provides appropriate feedback immediately. If the user changes the input content, the generation AI can also analyze it immediately and provide appropriate feedback. If the user has any questions about the input content, the generation AI can analyze it in real time and provide supplementary information. This allows the user's input content to be analyzed in real time and appropriate feedback to be provided immediately, thereby improving user convenience. Examples of real-time analysis include, but are not limited to, real-time data processing and immediate feedback.
[0038] Furthermore, the e-commerce site service includes a reception unit that proposes input content that meets region-specific needs by taking into account the user's geographical location information. The reception unit uses a generation AI to propose input content that meets region-specific needs by taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific region, products and services that are specific to that region can be proposed. Also, if the user is traveling, products and services that meet the region-specific needs of the user's travel destination can be proposed. Also, if the user is planning to move, products and services that will be needed in the new region can be proposed. In this way, by taking into account the user's geographical location information, input content that meets region-specific needs can be proposed. Geographical location information includes, but is not limited to, GPS data, location information services, etc.
[0039] Furthermore, the e-commerce site service includes a reception unit that analyzes a user's social media activity and automatically completes related input content.

[0068] (Example 2) An e-commerce site service according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a generative AI to suggest products and services that can help users achieve their true desires. While conventional e-commerce sites require users to search for products based on their own subjective opinions and knowledge, the present invention uses a generative AI as an interface to elicit the user's latent needs and then suggests optimal products and services based on those needs. For example, a user inputs a request to the generative AI in natural language, such as "I want to create a relaxing space." This input is sent to the generative AI, which analyzes it and identifies the user's true desires. The generative AI then understands the user's input and elicits the underlying latent needs. For example, the specific need, such as "I need furniture, interior decor, and aroma products for relaxation," is identified. Based on the identified needs, the generative AI searches for products and services within the e-commerce site and makes optimal suggestions. For example, it suggests furniture, interior decor, and aroma products for relaxation. These suggestions select the products and services that best fit the user's desires and goals, allowing the user to find the best options to fulfill their desires. Furthermore, the generative AI receives user feedback and improves the suggestions. When users input ratings and comments on suggested products and services, the AI learns from that feedback and incorporates it into future suggestions. This improves the accuracy of suggestions and increases user satisfaction. This allows e-commerce site services to easily find products and services that will help users achieve their true goals without relying on the user's subjective opinion or knowledge. For example, if a user wishes to create a relaxing space, the AI can suggest the most suitable furniture, interior design, and aroma products, allowing the user to realize their ideal space.

[0107] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0108] When analyzing the user's input content, the analysis unit can perform a more accurate analysis by referring to the user's past purchase history and search history. For example, needs related to the current input content can be identified based on data on products and services the user has purchased in the past. In addition, by referring to the user's past search history and analyzing similar search patterns, potential needs can be identified more accurately. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze the user's past ratings and comments to make appropriate suggestions for the current input content. In this way, the accuracy of the analysis can be improved by utilizing the user's past behavioral data.
[0109] The suggestion unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the content of suggestions based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it can prioritize suggestions of products and services that have a relaxing effect. Also, if the user is excited, it can suggest products and services that provide an active experience. Furthermore, if the user is sad, it can suggest entertainment or relaxation items to lift the user's mood. In this way, by adjusting the content of suggestions based on the user's emotions, it is possible to make more personalized suggestions.

For example, when the user inputs their wishes or goals, the generation AI analyzes it in real time and provides immediate feedback on the input content. In addition, if the user changes the input content, the generation AI can also analyze it immediately and provide appropriate feedback. Furthermore, if the user has any questions about the input content, the generation AI can analyze it in real time and provide supplementary information. In this way, the user's input content can be analyzed in real time and appropriate feedback can be provided immediately, improving user convenience.
[0111] The learning unit can estimate the user's emotions and select learning data based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, learning data related to relaxation can be selected. If the user is in a hurry, learning data that can be used quickly can be selected. Furthermore, if the user is excited, visually stimulating learning data can be selected. In this way, by selecting learning data based on the user's emotions, more appropriate learning data can be used.
[0112] The suggestion unit can suggest products and services specific to a region by taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the suggestion unit can suggest products and services specific to that region. Also, if the user is traveling, the suggestion unit can suggest products and services specific to the region the user is traveling to. Furthermore, if the user is planning to move, the suggestion unit can suggest products and services that will be needed in the new region. In this way, by taking into account the user's geographical location information, suggestions can be made that meet region-specific needs.
[0113] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the analysis algorithm based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, a detailed analysis can be performed to provide highly accurate results. If the user is in a hurry, a quick analysis can be performed to provide instant results. Furthermore, if the user is excited, a visually stimulating analysis result can be provided. In this way, by adjusting the analysis algorithm based on the user's emotions, more appropriate analysis results can be provided.
[0114] The suggestion unit can improve the accuracy of suggestions by referring to the user's past purchase history. For example, related products can be suggested based on the user's past purchase history. The suggestion unit can also analyze the user's past purchase history to suggest optimal products. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can also suggest products that match the user's preferences based on the user's past purchase history. In this way, the suggestion unit can improve the accuracy of suggestions by referring to the user's past purchase history.
[0115] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the design of the input interface based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, an interface with calm colors can be provided to reduce visual stress. If the user is having fun, an interface with bright colors can be provided to make input work more enjoyable. Furthermore, if the user is tired, an interface with simple and high visibility can be provided to make input work easier. In this way, the user's input experience can be improved by adjusting the design of the input interface based on the user's emotions.
[0116] The learning unit can update the learning data by reflecting user feedback in real time. For example, it can update the learning data by reflecting user ratings and comments in real time. It can also update the learning data in real time based on user feedback. Furthermore, it can collect user feedback and improve the suggestions using a machine learning algorithm. This allows the learning data to be kept up to date by reflecting user feedback in real time.
[0117] The suggestion unit can improve the accuracy of suggestions by referring to related external data sources. For example, the suggestion unit can improve the accuracy of suggestions by referring to related market data. The suggestion unit can also improve the accuracy of suggestions by referring to related trend data. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can improve the accuracy of suggestions by referring to data from related review sites. In this way, the suggestion unit can improve the accuracy of suggestions by referring to related external data sources.
[0118] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0119] Step 1: The reception unit inputs the user's specific wishes and objectives in natural language. For example, the user inputs a wish such as "I want to create a space where I can relax." Step 2: The analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the specific wishes and objectives entered by the reception unit and identify the user's latent needs. For example, the generation AI uses natural language processing technology to understand the user's wishes and objectives and identify the underlying latent needs. Step 3: The suggestion unit searches for and suggests products and services based on the needs identified by the analysis unit. For example, the suggestion unit may consider product ratings, reviews, price, stock availability, etc. to make optimal suggestions. Step 4: The learning unit collects user feedback on the products and services proposed by the suggestion unit and improves the suggestions. For example, the learning unit collects user ratings and comments and uses a machine learning algorithm to improve the suggestions.

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.

[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the above example, and various modifications are possible.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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).
[0177] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "reaction," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0178] 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."
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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, in order to avoid confusion and to 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.
