[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" according to the technology of the present disclosure. 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 process 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.
[0025] 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.

[0027] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains a processing result (prediction result, etc.) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) A training support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that performs simulations using personas created using a generative AI, allowing trainees to gain experience in actual workplaces in advance. In the training support system, the generative AI creates a variety of personas, allowing trainees to gain experience in responding to various situations. This system allows trainees to improve their ability to respond in actual workplaces. For example, in the training support system, the generative AI creates a variety of personas with attributes such as age, gender, occupation, and personality. Next, the training support system performs simulations using the created personas, allowing trainees to simulate tasks such as handling complaints and providing guidance. Furthermore, in the training support system, the generative AI analyzes the results of the simulations and provides feedback on areas for improvement to the trainees' responses. This allows trainees to specifically identify what went well and what needs improvement in their responses. This allows the training support system to provide trainees with actual workplace experience in advance, thereby bridging the gap between training and the actual workplace. For example, by performing simulations using a variety of personas during training, trainees can acquire skills for responding to various situations. Furthermore, the generative AI provides feedback, allowing trainees to specifically identify areas for improvement in their responses and improve their skills.
[0029] A training support system according to an embodiment includes a collection unit, a generation unit, a simulation unit, and a feedback unit. The collection unit collects persona attributes. Persona attributes include, but are not limited to, age, gender, occupation, and personality. The collection unit can collect data, for example, through questionnaires or interviews. The collection unit can also collect attributes from publicly available data on the Internet using data mining technology. The generation unit creates personas based on the attributes collected by the collection unit. The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate various personas based on the collected attributes. For example, the generation AI combines attributes such as age, gender, occupation, and personality to create realistic personas. The simulation unit performs simulations on the personas created by the generation unit. The simulation unit can perform simulations such as handling complaints and providing guidance. The simulation unit uses the generation AI to simulate interactions with personas, allowing trainees to gain experience in responding to various situations. The feedback unit analyzes the results of the simulation performed by the simulation unit and provides feedback on areas for improvement in the trainee's responses. The feedback unit uses the generation AI to analyze the results of the simulation and provide specific feedback on what went well in the trainee's response and what needs improvement. For example, the feedback unit may provide feedback on whether the trainee used appropriate language and attitude when handling a complaint, and whether there were any areas that needed improvement. This allows the training support system according to the embodiment to improve the trainee's ability to respond in actual situations.
[0030] The collection unit can collect data including age, gender, occupation, and personality as persona attributes. For example, the collection unit collects data such as age, gender, occupation, and personality through a questionnaire. The collection unit can also collect detailed attribute data through interviews. For example, the collection unit may interview trainees to collect information on persona attributes. The collection unit can also use data mining technology to collect attributes from publicly available data on the Internet. For example, the collection unit may extract attribute data from social media posts and public profiles. This allows for the collection of diverse data as persona attributes, thereby generating more realistic personas. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the collection unit may input questionnaire data into the generation AI and have the generation AI extract attribute data.
[0031] The generation unit can create various personas based on the collected attributes. The generation unit creates various personas based on collected attributes such as age, gender, occupation, and personality. The generation unit uses a generation AI to combine the collected attributes to generate realistic personas. For example, the generation AI combines attributes such as age, gender, occupation, and personality to create personas that can handle various scenarios, such as handling complaints from young customers or providing guidance to elderly people. The generation unit can also use the generation AI to generate scenarios based on the persona attributes. For example, the generation AI generates scenarios such as handling complaints and providing guidance based on the persona attributes. This allows trainees to gain experience in responding to various situations by creating various personas based on the collected attributes. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input collected attribute data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to generate personas.
[0032] The simulation unit can perform a simulation of handling a complaint or providing guidance for the created persona. For example, the simulation unit performs a simulation of handling a complaint for the persona created by the generation unit. For example, the simulation unit sets up a scenario in which the persona files a complaint as a customer, and the trainee responds appropriately, thereby cultivating the ability to handle complaints in actual on-site situations. The simulation unit can also perform a simulation of providing guidance. For example, the simulation unit sets up a scenario in which the persona requests guidance as an elderly person, and the trainee provides appropriate guidance, thereby cultivating the ability to provide guidance in actual on-site situations. Furthermore, the simulation unit can simulate a dialogue with the persona using the generation AI. For example, the simulation unit has the generation AI interact with the trainee as the persona, and performs simulations such as handling a complaint or providing guidance. In this way, by performing simulations for the created persona, the trainee can improve their ability to respond in actual on-site situations. Some or all of the above-described processing in the simulation unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the simulation unit can input a persona scenario into the generation AI and leave the execution of the simulation to the generation AI.
[0033] The feedback unit can analyze the results of the simulation and provide feedback on areas for improvement to the trainee's response. For example, the feedback unit analyzes the results of a simulation performed by the simulation unit and provides feedback on areas for improvement to the trainee's response. The feedback unit uses the generation AI to analyze the results of the simulation and provide specific feedback on what was good about the trainee's response and what areas need improvement. For example, the feedback unit can provide feedback on whether appropriate language and attitude were used when handling a complaint and whether there were areas for improvement. The feedback unit can also provide feedback on whether appropriate explanations were given when providing guidance and whether there were areas for improvement. In this way, by analyzing the results of the simulation and providing feedback on areas for improvement to the trainee's response, the trainee's skills can be improved. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the feedback unit may be performed using the generation AI, or may be performed without using the generation AI. For example, the feedback unit can input simulation result data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to generate feedback.
[0034] When collecting persona attributes, the collection unit can analyze the user's past behavioral history and select the optimal collection method. For example, the collection unit prioritizes the selection of collection methods (such as questionnaires and interviews) that the user has frequently used in the past. The collection unit can use data mining technology to analyze the user's past behavioral history. For example, the collection unit analyzes the user's website browsing history and purchase history to select the most efficient collection method. The collection unit can also customize the collection method based on the user's past behavioral history. For example, the collection unit prioritizes the selection of collection methods that the user has previously preferred, improving collection efficiency. This allows the optimal collection method to be selected by analyzing the user's past behavioral history. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's behavioral history data into the generation AI and have the generation AI select the optimal collection method.
[0035] When collecting persona attributes, the collection unit can filter them based on the user's current situation and areas of interest. For example, the collection unit prioritizes collecting attributes related to the user's current areas of interest. The collection unit can conduct surveys or interviews to understand the user's current situation and areas of interest. For example, the collection unit can ask the user questions about their current occupation and living environment and filter related attributes. The collection unit can also analyze social media posts and search history to analyze the user's current areas of interest. For example, the collection unit can filter related attributes based on keywords recently searched by the user or information shared on social media. This allows for filtering based on the user's current situation and areas of interest, thereby collecting more relevant attributes. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit can be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's area of interest data into the generation AI and leave the filtering to the generation AI.
[0036] When collecting attributes of a persona, the collection unit can select the optimal collection method depending on the user's input method. For example, if the user prefers voice input, the collection unit selects a method for collecting attributes by voice. The collection unit can conduct surveys or interviews to understand the user's input method. For example, the collection unit can ask the user about their preference, such as voice input, text input, or image input, and select the optimal collection method. The collection unit can also analyze the user's past input history. For example, the collection unit can select the optimal collection method based on the input method the user has used in the past. This allows attributes to be collected efficiently by selecting the optimal collection method depending on the user's input method. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's input history data into the generation AI and have the generation AI select the optimal collection method.
[0037] When collecting persona attributes, the collection unit can prioritize collecting highly relevant attributes by taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user lives in a specific area, the collection unit prioritizes collecting attributes related to that area. The collection unit can collect GPS data and address information to determine the user's geographical location. For example, the collection unit obtains GPS data from the user's smartphone to determine their current location. The collection unit can also filter relevant attributes based on address information provided by the user. For example, the collection unit prioritizes collecting attributes related to the area based on the user's address information. This allows highly relevant attributes to be collected preferentially by taking into account the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above-described processing by the collection unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's geographical location data into the generation AI and have the generation AI select highly relevant attributes.
[0038] When collecting persona attributes, the collection unit can analyze the user's social media activities and collect related attributes. For example, the collection unit collects related attributes based on information shared by the user on social media. The collection unit can use data mining technology to analyze the user's social media activities. For example, the collection unit analyzes the content of the user's social media posts, the number of likes, the number of followers, etc. to collect related attributes. The collection unit can also collect optimal attributes based on the user's social media activities. For example, the collection unit analyzes topics the user frequently posts on and themes of interest to collect related attributes. In this way, related attributes can be collected by analyzing the user's social media activities. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's social media data into the generation AI and have the generation AI collect related attributes.
[0039] When collecting persona attributes, the collection unit can customize the collection method by reflecting the user's past feedback. The collection unit customizes the collection method, for example, based on feedback provided by the user in the past. The collection unit can use data mining technology to analyze the user's past feedback. For example, the collection unit analyzes survey results and comments provided by the user in the past and selects the optimal collection method. The collection unit can also adjust the collection means by reflecting the user's past feedback. For example, the collection unit prioritizes the collection method that the user has previously preferred to use, improving collection efficiency. This allows the optimal collection method to be selected by reflecting the user's past feedback. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's feedback data into the generation AI and have the generation AI customize the collection method.
[0040] When generating a persona, the generation unit can adjust the level of detail of the generation based on the importance of the collected attributes. For example, the generation unit generates a detailed persona based on important attributes. The generation unit can use data analysis techniques to evaluate the importance of the collected attributes. For example, the generation unit analyzes the collected attribute data and evaluates the importance of each attribute. The generation unit can also generate a concise persona based on less important attributes. For example, the generation unit generates a concise persona based on less important attributes. Furthermore, the generation unit can analyze the importance of attributes and generate a persona with an optimal level of detail. For example, the generation unit balances detailed personas and concise personas based on the importance of attributes. This allows the generation of an optimal persona by adjusting the level of detail of the generation based on the importance of the collected attributes. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input the collected attribute data to a generation AI and cause the generation AI to generate a persona.
[0041] When generating a persona, the generation unit can apply different generation algorithms depending on the attribute category. For example, the generation unit applies a specific generation algorithm based on an age attribute. The generation unit can use data analysis techniques to evaluate the attribute categories. For example, the generation unit analyzes collected attribute data and evaluates each attribute category. The generation unit can also apply different generation algorithms based on a gender attribute. For example, the generation unit applies different generation algorithms based on the gender attribute. Furthermore, the generation unit can apply an optimal generation algorithm based on an occupation attribute. For example, the generation unit applies an optimal generation algorithm based on the occupation attribute. This allows for the generation of a more appropriate persona by applying different generation algorithms depending on the attribute category. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input collected attribute data into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to generate a persona.
[0042] When generating a persona, the generation unit can improve the accuracy of the generation by referring to past generation results. The generation unit improves the accuracy, for example, based on personas generated in the past. The generation unit can use data analysis technology to evaluate past generation results. For example, the generation unit analyzes the evaluation results of personas generated in the past to improve the accuracy of the generation. The generation unit can also analyze past generation results and apply an optimal generation method. For example, the generation unit applies an optimal generation method based on past generation results. Furthermore, the generation unit can adjust the generation algorithm by referring to past generation results. For example, the generation unit adjusts parameters of the generation algorithm based on past generation results. In this way, the accuracy of the generation can be improved by referring to past generation results. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input past generation result data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to improve the accuracy of the generation.
[0043] When generating a persona, the generation unit can determine a generation priority based on the time when the attributes were collected. For example, the generation unit generates a persona by prioritizing recently collected attributes. The generation unit can use data analysis technology to evaluate the time when the attributes were collected. For example, the generation unit analyzes the collection time of collected attribute data and prioritizes the most recent data. The generation unit can also generate a persona by deferring older attributes. For example, the generation unit generates a persona based on older attributes. Furthermore, the generation unit can determine an optimal generation order taking into account the time when the attributes were collected. For example, the generation unit determines an optimal generation order based on the time when the attributes were collected. In this way, by determining the generation priority based on the time when the attributes were collected, a persona that reflects the most recent information can be generated. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input collected attribute data into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to generate a persona.
[0044] When generating personas, the generation unit can adjust the generation order based on the relevance of attributes. For example, the generation unit generates personas by prioritizing highly relevant attributes. The generation unit can use data analysis technology to evaluate the relevance of attributes. For example, the generation unit analyzes the relevance of collected attribute data and prioritizes highly relevant attributes. The generation unit can also generate personas by deferring less relevant attributes. For example, the generation unit generates personas based on less relevant attributes. Furthermore, the generation unit can analyze the relevance of attributes and determine an optimal generation order. For example, the generation unit determines an optimal generation order based on the relevance of attributes. As a result, by adjusting the generation order based on the relevance of attributes, more relevant personas can be generated. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input collected attribute data into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to generate personas.
[0045] When generating a persona, the generation unit can adjust the use of technical terminology in the generation according to the user's level of expertise. For example, if the user has technical expertise, the generation unit generates a persona that uses a lot of technical terminology. The generation unit can conduct a questionnaire or interview to evaluate the user's level of expertise. For example, the generation unit can ask the user questions about their expertise and evaluate their level of expertise. Furthermore, if the user does not have technical expertise, the generation unit can generate a persona using concise language. For example, the generation unit can evaluate that the user does not have technical expertise and generate a persona using concise language. Furthermore, the generation unit can analyze the user's level of expertise and generate a persona using optimal language. For example, the generation unit generates a persona using optimal language based on the user's level of expertise. This allows the generation of a persona that is easier to understand by adjusting the use of technical terminology according to the user's level of expertise. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input the user's technical expertise data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to generate a persona.
[0046] During the simulation, the simulation unit can adjust the level of detail of the simulation based on the attributes of the persona. For example, the simulation unit performs a detailed simulation based on important attributes. The simulation unit can use data analysis techniques to evaluate the attributes of the persona. For example, the simulation unit analyzes the attribute data of the persona and evaluates the importance of each attribute. The simulation unit can also perform a concise simulation based on less important attributes. For example, the simulation unit performs a concise simulation based on less important attributes. Furthermore, the simulation unit can analyze the importance of the attributes and perform a simulation with an optimal level of detail. For example, the simulation unit balances detailed simulation and concise simulation based on the importance of the attributes. This allows for adjusting the level of detail of the simulation based on the attributes of the persona, thereby providing a more realistic simulation. Some or all of the above-described processing in the simulation unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the simulation unit can input the attribute data of the persona into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the level of detail of the simulation.

This allows for a more appropriate persona to be generated by adjusting the generation method based on the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI.

For example, if the user is relaxed, the simulation unit can provide a detailed scenario. If the user is in a hurry, the simulation unit can provide a concise scenario.

The collection unit can also collect GPS data and address information to understand the user's geographical location information. Furthermore, the collection unit can also filter relevant attributes based on the address information provided by the user. This allows highly relevant attributes to be prioritized for collection by taking into account the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above-described processing by the collection unit may be performed using or without the generation AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's geographical location data into the generation AI and have the generation AI select highly relevant attributes.
[0115] When generating a persona, the generation unit can apply different generation algorithms depending on the attribute category. For example, a specific generation algorithm can be applied based on the age attribute. The generation unit can also apply a different generation algorithm based on the gender attribute. Furthermore, the generation unit can apply an optimal generation algorithm based on the occupation attribute. This allows for the generation of a more appropriate persona by applying different generation algorithms depending on the attribute category. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit may be performed using a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input collected attribute data into a generation AI and have the generation AI generate a persona.
[0116] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0117] Step 1: The collection unit collects persona attributes. Persona attributes include, for example, age, gender, occupation, and personality. The collection unit can collect data through questionnaires or interviews. Attributes can also be collected from publicly available data on the Internet using data mining techniques. Step 2: The generation unit creates personas based on the attributes collected by the collection unit. The generation unit uses generative AI to generate various personas based on the collected attributes. For example, realistic personas are created by combining attributes such as age, gender, occupation, and personality. Step 3: The simulation department performs simulations on the personas created by the generation department. The simulation department can perform simulations such as handling complaints and providing guidance. By using the generation AI to simulate interactions with personas, trainees can gain experience in dealing with various situations. Step 4: The Feedback Department analyzes the results of the simulation conducted by the Simulation Department and provides feedback on areas for improvement to the trainee's response. The results of the simulation are analyzed using generative AI, and specific feedback is provided on what went well in the trainee's response and what needs improvement. For example, feedback is provided on whether the trainee used appropriate language and attitude when handling a complaint, and whether there were any areas that needed improvement.

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.
[0169] 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.
[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.
