In addition, SMS and app notifications are used to notify relatives that "your heart rate is high."

[0169] Input: Health Assist Menu, Alert

[0170] Output: Audio instructions to user, notification to relatives

[0171] At each processing step of this system, the user, device, and server work together to effectively manage and assist the health of elderly people. By providing individual health assistance menus based on the analysis results, it is expected that health conditions will improve.

[0172] (Application example 1)

[0173] Next, a description will be given of Application Example 1. In the following description, the data processing device 12 will be referred to as a "server" and the smart device 14 will be referred to as a "terminal."

[0174] Health management for the elderly is an important social issue, and there is a need for early detection of abnormalities in elderly people living independently and rapid response. However, conventional health management systems have problems in that it is difficult to generate assistance menus appropriate for individual health conditions, and they are unable to notify or respond quickly in emergencies. Furthermore, because it is necessary to provide accurate and prompt information not only to the elderly themselves but also to their relatives and medical institutions, a system with advanced analytical functions is required.

[0175] The specific processing by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 in the application example 1 is realized by the following means.

[0176] In this invention, the server includes an analysis means for analyzing vital sign data in real time, a generation means for generating an individual health support menu based on the analysis results using a generative AI model, and a transmission means for individually customizing and transmitting the health support menu using prompt text. This makes it possible to monitor the health status of elderly people in real time, detect abnormalities early, and provide individually customized health support menus. In addition, since relatives and medical institutions can be quickly notified in the event of an abnormality, a system can be realized that effectively supports emergency response.

[0177] "Vital signs" are basic physiological indicators related to maintaining human life, such as body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate.

[0178] A "biosensor" is a device that is attached to the human body to measure vital signs.

[0179] "Communication means" is a function for transmitting measured vital sign data to a personal communication device.

[0180] A "communications terminal" is a device for relaying vital signs data to a central system.

[0181] The "central system" is a system such as a server that receives and analyzes vital sign data and generates a health support menu.

[0182] The "analysis means" is a function for analyzing vital sign data in real time.

[0183] The "generation means" is a function for generating an individual health support menu based on the analysis results.

[0184] The "transmission means" is a function for transmitting the generated health support menu to an individual's communication device.

[0185] "Notification means" is a function for providing individuals with health support menus and abnormal value notifications.

[0186] "Alert means" is a function for sending emergency notifications to relatives and medical institutions when abnormal values ​​are detected.

[0187] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence model that uses generated algorithms to analyze data and generate a health support menu.

[0188] A "prompt sentence" is an instruction sentence input to a generative AI model and is used during analysis and menu generation.

[0189] This invention relates to an AI-powered smart earphone system that supports the health management of elderly people. This system combines a biosensor, a communication terminal, an analysis unit, a generation unit, a transmission unit, a notification unit, an alert unit, a generation AI model, and a prompt sentence.

[0190] The system consists of an earphone device worn by the user, the user's communication terminal (e.g., a smartphone), and a cloud server.

[0191] The earphone device is equipped with built-in biosensors that can measure vital signs such as body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate, and transmits this data via Bluetooth to the user's communication device.

[0192] The communication device (such as a smartphone) temporarily stores the vital sign data received from the earphone device via Bluetooth in local storage, and then transmits the data to a cloud server via the Internet.

[0193] The cloud server analyzes vital sign data in real time using a generative AI model. Based on the analysis results, a personalized health support menu is generated, including diet, exercise, sleep, and mental training. The generated menu is customized for each user using prompts.

[0194] As a concrete example, when user C is wearing the AI ​​monitoring smart earphones, the earphone device measures C's body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate, and sends the data to C's smartphone via Bluetooth. The smartphone then sends the data to a cloud server, where the generative AI model begins analysis.

[0195] For example, the generative AI model performs an analysis based on the prompt, "If the heart rate is 85 or higher, it is determined to be a risk and a health support menu will be generated." As a result, advice such as relaxation exercises and a low-salt diet is generated and sent to User C's smartphone. Additionally, if an abnormal value is detected, an emergency notification is sent to pre-registered relatives and medical institutions.

[0196] This makes it possible to monitor the health status of elderly people in real time, detect abnormalities early, and provide a system that can take appropriate action quickly.

[0197] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0198] Step 1:

[0199] The biosensor built into the earphone device measures the user's vital signs (body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate). The measurement data is converted into digital signals and sent to the user's communication device via Bluetooth. The input is sensor data, and the output is data sent to the communication device.

[0200] Step 2:

[0201] The terminal (communication device) receives vital sign data from the earphone device via Bluetooth and temporarily stores it in local storage. The stored data is then sent to a cloud server via the Internet. The input is a Bluetooth signal, and the output is data sent to the cloud server.

[0202] Step 3:

[0203] The server receives vital sign data sent from the communication device and stores it in a database. Based on the stored data, it analyzes the data in real time using a generative AI model. The input is the received vital sign data, and the output is the analysis results.

[0204] Step 4:

[0205] The server uses a generative AI model to generate an individual health support menu based on the analysis results. A menu customized for each user is generated using a prompt. For example, based on the prompt "If the heart rate is 85 or higher, determine that there is a risk and generate a health support menu." The input is the analysis results, and the output is a customized health support menu.

[0206] Step 5:

[0207] The server transmits the generated health support menu to the user's communication device, where the input is the generated health support menu and the output is the transmission of the menu.

[0208] Step 6:

[0209] The terminal (communication device) receives a health support menu and notifies the user as a voice guide. If an abnormal value is detected, an alert notification is sent to pre-registered relatives and medical institutions. The input is the received support menu and abnormal value notification, and the output is a notification to the user, relatives, and medical institutions.

[0210] Through these steps, the system can monitor the elderly person's vital signs in real time, provide appropriate health support menus, and quickly notify in the event of an abnormality.

[0211] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[0212] This invention relates to an AI-powered smart earphone system that supports the health management of elderly people. The system includes a biosensor for measuring vital signs, a communication unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, a transmission unit, a notification unit, an alert unit, and an emotion engine that recognizes the user's emotions.

This makes it possible to monitor the health status of elderly people in real time, detect abnormalities early, and provide individually customized health support menus. In addition, since relatives and medical institutions can be quickly notified in the event of an abnormality, a system can be realized that effectively supports emergency response.

[0619] "Vital signs" are basic physiological indicators related to maintaining human life, such as body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate.

[0620] A "biosensor" is a device that is attached to the human body to measure vital signs.

[0621] "Communication means" is a function for transmitting measured vital sign data to a personal communication device.

[0622] A "communications terminal" is a device for relaying vital signs data to a central system.

[0623] The "central system" is a system such as a server that receives and analyzes vital sign data and generates a health support menu.

[0624] The "analysis means" is a function for analyzing vital sign data in real time.

[0625] The "generation means" is a function for generating an individual health support menu based on the analysis results.

[0626] The "transmission means" is a function for transmitting the generated health support menu to an individual's communication device.

[0627] "Notification means" is a function for providing individuals with health support menus and abnormal value notifications.

[0628] "Alert means" is a function for sending emergency notifications to relatives and medical institutions when abnormal values ​​are detected.

[0629] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence model that uses generated algorithms to analyze data and generate a health support menu.

[0630] A "prompt sentence" is an instruction sentence input to a generative AI model and is used during analysis and menu generation.

[0631] This invention relates to an AI-powered smart earphone system that supports the health management of elderly people. This system combines a biosensor, a communication terminal, an analysis unit, a generation unit, a transmission unit, a notification unit, an alert unit, a generation AI model, and a prompt sentence.

[0632] The system consists of an earphone device worn by the user, the user's communication terminal (e.g., a smartphone), and a cloud server.

[0633] The earphone device is equipped with built-in biosensors that can measure vital signs such as body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate, and transmits this data via Bluetooth to the user's communication device.

[0634] The communication device (such as a smartphone) temporarily stores the vital sign data received from the earphone device via Bluetooth in local storage, and then transmits the data to a cloud server via the Internet.

[0635] The cloud server analyzes vital sign data in real time using a generative AI model. Based on the analysis results, a personalized health support menu is generated, including diet, exercise, sleep, and mental training. The generated menu is customized for each user using prompts.

[0636] As a concrete example, when user C is wearing the AI ​​monitoring smart earphones, the earphone device measures C's body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate, and sends the data to C's smartphone via Bluetooth. The smartphone then sends the data to a cloud server, where the generative AI model begins analysis.

[0637] For example, the generative AI model performs an analysis based on the prompt, "If the heart rate is 85 or higher, it is determined to be a risk and a health support menu will be generated." As a result, advice such as relaxation exercises and a low-salt diet is generated and sent to User C's smartphone. Additionally, if an abnormal value is detected, an emergency notification is sent to pre-registered relatives and medical institutions.

[0638] This makes it possible to monitor the health status of elderly people in real time, detect abnormalities early, and provide a system that can take appropriate action quickly.

[0639] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0640] Step 1:

[0641] The biosensor built into the earphone device measures the user's vital signs (body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate). The measurement data is converted into digital signals and sent to the user's communication device via Bluetooth. The input is sensor data, and the output is data sent to the communication device.

[0642] Step 2:

[0643] The terminal (communication device) receives vital sign data from the earphone device via Bluetooth and temporarily stores it in local storage. The stored data is then sent to a cloud server via the Internet. The input is a Bluetooth signal, and the output is data sent to the cloud server.

[0644] Step 3:

[0645] The server receives vital sign data sent from the communication device and stores it in a database. Based on the stored data, it analyzes the data in real time using a generative AI model. The input is the received vital sign data, and the output is the analysis results.

[0646] Step 4:

[0647] The server uses a generative AI model to generate an individual health support menu based on the analysis results. A menu customized for each user is generated using a prompt. For example, based on the prompt "If the heart rate is 85 or higher, determine that there is a risk and generate a health support menu." The input is the analysis results, and the output is a customized health support menu.

[0648] Step 5:

[0649] The server transmits the generated health support menu to the user's communication device, where the input is the generated health support menu and the output is the transmission of the menu.

[0650] Step 6:

[0651] The terminal (communication device) receives a health support menu and notifies the user as a voice guide. If an abnormal value is detected, an alert notification is sent to pre-registered relatives and medical institutions. The input is the received support menu and abnormal value notification, and the output is a notification to the user, relatives, and medical institutions.

[0652] Through these steps, the system can monitor the elderly person's vital signs in real time, provide appropriate health support menus, and quickly notify in the event of an abnormality.

[0653] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[0654] This invention relates to an AI-powered smart earphone system that supports the health management of elderly people.

[1071] A "generative AI model" is an artificial intelligence model that uses generated algorithms to analyze data and generate a health support menu.

[1072] A "prompt sentence" is an instruction sentence input to a generative AI model and is used during analysis and menu generation.

[1073] This invention relates to an AI-powered smart earphone system that supports the health management of elderly people. This system combines a biosensor, a communication terminal, an analysis unit, a generation unit, a transmission unit, a notification unit, an alert unit, a generation AI model, and a prompt sentence.

[1074] The system consists of an earphone device worn by the user, the user's communication terminal (e.g., a smartphone), and a cloud server.

[1075] The earphone device is equipped with built-in biosensors that can measure vital signs such as body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate, and transmits this data via Bluetooth to the user's communication device.

[1076] The communication device (such as a smartphone) temporarily stores the vital sign data received from the earphone device via Bluetooth in local storage, and then transmits the data to a cloud server via the Internet.

[1077] The cloud server analyzes vital sign data in real time using a generative AI model. Based on the analysis results, a personalized health support menu is generated, including diet, exercise, sleep, and mental training. The generated menu is customized for each user using prompts.

[1078] As a concrete example, when user C is wearing the AI ​​monitoring smart earphones, the earphone device measures C's body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate, and sends the data to C's smartphone via Bluetooth. The smartphone then sends the data to a cloud server, where the generative AI model begins analysis.

[1079] For example, the generative AI model performs an analysis based on the prompt, "If the heart rate is 85 or higher, it is determined to be a risk and a health support menu will be generated." As a result, advice such as relaxation exercises and a low-salt diet is generated and sent to User C's smartphone. Additionally, if an abnormal value is detected, an emergency notification is sent to pre-registered relatives and medical institutions.

[1080] This makes it possible to monitor the health status of elderly people in real time, detect abnormalities early, and provide a system that can take appropriate action quickly.

[1081] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1082] Step 1:

[1083] The biosensor built into the earphone device measures the user's vital signs (body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate). The measurement data is converted into digital signals and sent to the user's communication device via Bluetooth. The input is sensor data, and the output is data sent to the communication device.

[1084] Step 2:

[1085] The terminal (communication device) receives vital sign data from the earphone device via Bluetooth and temporarily stores it in local storage. The stored data is then sent to a cloud server via the Internet. The input is a Bluetooth signal, and the output is data sent to the cloud server.

[1086] Step 3:

[1087] The server receives vital sign data sent from the communication device and stores it in a database. Based on the stored data, it analyzes the data in real time using a generative AI model. The input is the received vital sign data, and the output is the analysis results.

[1088] Step 4:

[1089] The server uses a generative AI model to generate an individual health support menu based on the analysis results. A menu customized for each user is generated using a prompt. For example, based on the prompt "If the heart rate is 85 or higher, determine that there is a risk and generate a health support menu." The input is the analysis results, and the output is a customized health support menu.

[1090] Step 5:

[1091] The server transmits the generated health support menu to the user's communication device, where the input is the generated health support menu and the output is the transmission of the menu.

[1092] Step 6:

[1093] The terminal (communication device) receives a health support menu and notifies the user as a voice guide. If an abnormal value is detected, an alert notification is sent to pre-registered relatives and medical institutions. The input is the received support menu and abnormal value notification, and the output is a notification to the user, relatives, and medical institutions.

[1094] Through these steps, the system can monitor the elderly person's vital signs in real time, provide appropriate health support menus, and quickly notify in the event of an abnormality.

[1095] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[1096] This invention relates to an AI-powered smart earphone system that supports the health management of elderly people.

[1519] The communication device (such as a smartphone) temporarily stores the vital sign data received from the earphone device via Bluetooth in local storage, and then transmits the data to a cloud server via the Internet.

[1520] The cloud server analyzes vital sign data in real time using a generative AI model. Based on the analysis results, a personalized health support menu is generated, including diet, exercise, sleep, and mental training. The generated menu is customized for each user using prompts.

[1521] As a concrete example, when user C is wearing the AI ​​monitoring smart earphones, the earphone device measures C's body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate, and sends the data to C's smartphone via Bluetooth. The smartphone then sends the data to a cloud server, where the generative AI model begins analysis.

[1522] For example, the generative AI model performs an analysis based on the prompt, "If the heart rate is 85 or higher, it is determined to be a risk and a health support menu will be generated." As a result, advice such as relaxation exercises and a low-salt diet is generated and sent to User C's smartphone. Additionally, if an abnormal value is detected, an emergency notification is sent to pre-registered relatives and medical institutions.

[1523] This makes it possible to monitor the health status of elderly people in real time, detect abnormalities early, and provide a system that can take appropriate action quickly.

[1524] The flow of the specific processing in the application example 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[1525] Step 1:

[1526] The biosensor built into the earphone device measures the user's vital signs (body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate). The measurement data is converted into digital signals and sent to the user's communication device via Bluetooth. The input is sensor data, and the output is data sent to the communication device.

[1527] Step 2:

[1528] The terminal (communication device) receives vital sign data from the earphone device via Bluetooth and temporarily stores it in local storage. The stored data is then sent to a cloud server via the Internet. The input is a Bluetooth signal, and the output is data sent to the cloud server.

[1529] Step 3:

[1530] The server receives vital sign data sent from the communication device and stores it in a database. Based on the stored data, it analyzes the data in real time using a generative AI model. The input is the received vital sign data, and the output is the analysis results.

[1531] Step 4:

[1532] The server uses a generative AI model to generate an individual health support menu based on the analysis results. A menu customized for each user is generated using a prompt. For example, based on the prompt "If the heart rate is 85 or higher, determine that there is a risk and generate a health support menu." The input is the analysis results, and the output is a customized health support menu.

[1533] Step 5:

[1534] The server transmits the generated health support menu to the user's communication device, where the input is the generated health support menu and the output is the transmission of the menu.

[1535] Step 6:

[1536] The terminal (communication device) receives a health support menu and notifies the user as a voice guide. If an abnormal value is detected, an alert notification is sent to pre-registered relatives and medical institutions. The input is the received support menu and abnormal value notification, and the output is a notification to the user, relatives, and medical institutions.

[1537] Through these steps, the system can monitor the elderly person's vital signs in real time, provide appropriate health support menus, and quickly notify in the event of an abnormality.

[1538] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the user's emotion may be further combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the user's emotion.

[1539] This invention relates to an AI-powered smart earphone system that supports the health management of elderly people.

[1772] Specific operation: Based on the analysis results (e.g., high blood pressure, stress level), the generative AI generates a health assistance menu (e.g., relaxation music, low-salt meal plan, light exercise).

[1773] Step 5: Send Health Assist Menu

[1774] The server sends the generated health assistance menu to the user's smartphone.

[1775] Enter: Health Assist Menu

[1776] Output: Health assist menu sent to smartphone

[1777] Specific operation: The server uses the HTTP protocol to send the generated health assistance menu to the user's smartphone.

[1778] Step 6: Health Assist Menu and Abnormal Value Notification

[1779] The device (smartphone) receives the health assistance menu and notifies the user of abnormal values, and also sends alerts to relatives and medical institutions.

[1780] Input: Sent Health Assist Menu and Abnormal Value Notification

[1781] Output: Present to user and alert relatives and medical institutions

[1782] Specific actions: The smartphone uses voice guidance or a visual interface to provide the user with specific health assistance content, and if abnormal values ​​are detected, alerts are sent via email or SMS to pre-registered relatives or medical institutions.

[1783] Step 7: Order your food

[1784] The device (smartphone) orders meals from affiliated meal delivery services based on the proposed health assistance menu.

[1785] Enter: Health Assist Menu

[1786] Output: Order data for a food service

[1787] Specific operation: The smartphone uses the API of a partner food delivery service to order meals based on the health-assist menu. For example, if a low-sodium meal plan is suggested, the smartphone will order from a restaurant that offers that menu.

[1788] Through the above steps, the present invention comprehensively manages the user's health condition and provides optimal health assistance and meals.

[1789] 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.

[1790] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet Search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ), Gemini (Internet search <url: https: gemini.google.com ?hl="ja">) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating voice, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image is also input. 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.

[1791] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by the data processing device 12, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be performed by the robot 414.

[1792] 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.

[1793] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating 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 actions arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion includes both affect 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.

[1794] 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.

[1795] 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).

[1796] 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. Emotions can also be created for robots, automobiles, 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on Voice Emotion Recognition and Emotional Brain Physiological Signal Analysis Systems, 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.

[1797] 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."

[1798] 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.

[1799] The system according to the present disclosure has been described above mainly with respect to the functions of the data processing device 12, but the system according to the present disclosure is not necessarily implemented on a server. The system according to the present disclosure may be implemented as a general information processing system. The present disclosure may be implemented, for example, as a software program running on a personal computer or an application running on a smartphone, etc. The method according to the present disclosure may be provided to users in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service).

[1800] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing is performed by one computer 22, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the specific processing may be distributed and performed by a plurality of computers including the computer 22. For example, the data generation model 58 may be provided in an external device of the data processing device 12, and data may be generated in the external device in accordance with input data.

[1801] 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.

[1802] 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.

[1803] 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.

[1804] 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. Another processor is 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.

[1805] The hardware resource that executes the specific processing 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 processing may be a single processor.

[1806] 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.

[1807] 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.
