The generation unit can also generate routes that pass through famous cherry blossom viewing spots and famous autumn foliage viewing spots depending on the season. For example, the generation unit can select a route that passes through famous cherry blossom viewing spots in spring and a route that passes through famous autumn foliage viewing spots in autumn based on seasonal data. Furthermore, the generation unit can generate a route taking into account information about tourist spots and restaurants that can be visited along the way, according to the user's preferences. For example, the generation unit can generate a route that incorporates information about tourist spots and restaurants based on conditions entered by the user. In this way, by generating an optimal route based on the acquired parameters, it is possible to provide a route that allows the user to enjoy a drive.

[0032] The providing unit can provide information about tourist spots or restaurants based on the generated route. The providing unit, for example, displays information about tourist spots and restaurants that the user can stop at during a drive. For example, the providing unit can display information about tourist spots and restaurants on the generated route on a map, allowing the user to easily access them. The providing unit can also provide information about restaurants in a specific genre or with high ratings according to the user's preferences. For example, the providing unit can preferentially display restaurants with high ratings or restaurants in a specific genre based on conditions entered by the user. In this way, by providing information about tourist spots and restaurants based on the generated route, it is possible to provide information for the user to enjoy their drive.

[0033] The generation unit can generate a scenic route on a sunny day and a safe route on a rainy day. The generation unit can, for example, analyze weather forecast data and select a scenic route on a sunny day and a safe route with less traffic on a rainy day. For example, the generation unit can suggest a scenic route along the mountains or the sea on a sunny day and a route with less traffic that avoids major roads on a rainy day. The generation unit can also select a route that avoids slippery roads on a rainy day based on the weather forecast data. For example, the generation unit can suggest a route with fewer sharp curves and slopes on a rainy day. In this way, the optimal route can be generated according to the weather, thereby providing the user with a safe and enjoyable route.

[0034] The providing unit can provide routes that pass through famous cherry blossom viewing spots or famous autumn foliage viewing spots according to the season. For example, the providing unit can select a route that passes through famous cherry blossom viewing spots in spring and a route that passes through famous autumn foliage viewing spots in autumn based on seasonal data.

The providing unit can also provide information on tourist spots according to the season. For example, the providing unit can provide information on cherry blossom viewing spots in spring and information on autumn leaf viewing spots in autumn. In this way, by providing routes that pass through tourist spots according to the season, the user can enjoy the seasons.

[0035] The reception unit can analyze the user's past driving history and suggest an input method. For example, the reception unit automatically displays as candidates starting points and destinations that the user has frequently input in the past. For example, the reception unit analyzes the user's past driving history and displays frequently visited places as candidates. The reception unit can also preferentially suggest input methods (voice, text, etc.) that the user has used in the past. For example, if the user has frequently used voice input in the past, the reception unit preferentially suggests voice input. Furthermore, the reception unit can predict and suggest starting points and destinations to be used during a specific time period based on the user's past driving history. For example, if the user has visited a specific place during a specific time period in the past, the reception unit suggests starting points and destinations appropriate for that time period. In this way, the optimal input method can be suggested by analyzing the user's past driving history.

[0036] The reception unit can select an input means according to the user's input method when inputting the departure point and destination. For example, the reception unit automatically sets the departure point and destination when the user simply inputs "from home to the station" by voice. For example, when the user specifies the departure point and destination using voice input, the reception unit automatically sets the input content using voice recognition technology. The reception unit can also allow the user to easily set the departure point and destination by performing specific gestures on the smartphone screen. For example, the reception unit provides an interface that allows the user to set the departure point and destination by performing gestures such as swiping or tapping on the screen. Furthermore, the reception unit can allow the user to set the departure point and destination more intuitively by combining voice input and gesture input. For example, the reception unit provides an interface that allows the user to intuitively input by specifying the departure point by voice and the destination by gesture. This allows the user to intuitively set the departure point and destination by selecting the optimal input means according to the user's input method.

[0037] When inputting a departure point and a destination, the reception unit can prioritize displaying highly relevant candidate locations by taking into account the user's geographical location information. The reception unit, for example, prioritizes displaying places close to the user's current location. For example, the reception unit prioritizes displaying nearby tourist spots and restaurants based on the user's current location. The reception unit can also prioritize displaying places the user has visited in the past. For example, the reception unit displays places the user would like to revisit as candidates based on the user's past visit history. Furthermore, the reception unit can also suggest optimal candidate locations by taking into account the distance from the user's current location. For example, the reception unit prioritizes displaying candidate locations that can be reached in a short time based on the distance from the user's current location. In this way, highly relevant candidate locations can be prioritized by taking into account the user's geographical location information.

[0038] The reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity when the departure point and destination are input, and suggest related candidate locations. For example, the reception unit can suggest places where the user has checked in on social media as candidate locations. For example, the reception unit can suggest places visited in the past as candidate locations based on the user's social media check-in history. The reception unit can also analyze the content of the user's social media posts and suggest related places as candidate locations. For example, the reception unit can analyze the content of the user's posts and suggest places of interest as candidate locations. Furthermore, the reception unit can suggest related places by referring to the activities of the user's friends on social media. For example, the reception unit can suggest places that the user may be interested in as candidate locations based on places visited by the user's friends. In this way, related candidate locations can be suggested by analyzing the user's social media activity.

[0039] The reception unit can customize the input method by reflecting the user's past feedback when inputting the departure point and destination. The reception unit, for example, preferentially suggests an input method that the user has preferred in the past. For example, if the user has preferred voice input in the past, the reception unit preferentially suggests voice input. The reception unit can also customize the input interface based on the user's past feedback. For example, the reception unit provides an easy-to-use interface based on the user's feedback. Furthermore, the reception unit can also optimize the input procedure by reflecting the user's past feedback.

For example, the acquisition unit analyzes past weather data and selects a route suitable for a specific season and weather. The acquisition unit can also analyze past seasonal data and suggest tourist spots for each season. For example, the acquisition unit suggests famous cherry blossom viewing spots in spring and famous autumn foliage viewing spots in autumn based on past seasonal data. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can combine past weather data and seasonal data to predict the best weather for a drive. For example, the acquisition unit predicts sunny days and days with comfortable temperatures based on past weather data and seasonal data and suggests the best days for a drive. In this way, the optimal acquisition method can be selected by analyzing past data.

[0041] When acquiring the parameters, the acquisition unit can perform filtering based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest. For example, if the user is traveling with their family, the acquisition unit can prioritize suggesting family-friendly tourist spots. For example, if the acquisition unit estimates that the user is traveling with their family, the acquisition unit can prioritize suggesting attractions for children and family-friendly restaurants. Furthermore, if the user likes the outdoors, the acquisition unit can prioritize suggesting routes rich in nature. For example, if the acquisition unit estimates that the user likes the outdoors, the acquisition unit can suggest routes rich in nature, such as mountains and the sea. Furthermore, if the user likes to eat out, the acquisition unit can prioritize suggesting gourmet spots. For example, if the acquisition unit estimates that the user likes to eat out, the acquisition unit can suggest local specialty dishes and popular restaurants. In this way, by filtering the parameters according to the user's living situation and areas of interest, optimal information can be provided.

[0042] When acquiring parameters, the acquisition unit can select an optimal acquisition means according to the user's input method. For example, when a user wants to check the weather forecast by voice, the acquisition unit acquires a weather forecast corresponding to the voice input. For example, when a user wants to check the weather forecast using voice input, the acquisition unit acquires weather forecast data using voice recognition technology and provides it as voice. Furthermore, when a user wants to check seasonal information using text, the acquisition unit can also acquire seasonal information corresponding to text input. For example, when a user wants to check seasonal information using text input, the acquisition unit acquires text data and provides it as text. Furthermore, when a user wants to check time information using an image, the acquisition unit can also acquire time information corresponding to the image input. For example, when a user wants to check time information using image input, the acquisition unit acquires image data and provides it as an image. This allows the user to intuitively acquire information by selecting an optimal acquisition means according to the user's input method.

[0043] When acquiring parameters, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring highly relevant data by taking into account the user's geographical location information. The acquisition unit, for example, prioritizes acquiring weather forecasts for locations close to the user's current location. For example, the acquisition unit prioritizes acquiring nearby weather forecasts based on the user's current location. The acquisition unit can also prioritize acquiring seasonal information for tourist spots close to the user's current location. For example, the acquisition unit prioritizes acquiring seasonal information for nearby tourist spots based on the user's current location. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can also acquire optimal data by taking into account the distance from the user's current location. For example, the acquisition unit prioritizes acquiring data for locations that can be reached in a short time based on the distance from the user's current location. In this way, highly relevant data can be prioritized by taking into account the user's geographical location information.

[0044] When acquiring the parameters, the acquisition unit can analyze the user's social media activities and acquire related data. The acquisition unit, for example, acquires weather forecasts for places the user has checked in to on social media.

[0136] [Third embodiment] FIG. 5 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment.

[0137] 5, the data processing system 310 includes the data processing device 12 and a headset terminal 314. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0138] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN and / or a LAN.

[0139] The headset type terminal 314 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication I / F 44, and a display 343. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0140] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46.

[0141] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0142] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.

[0143] Fig. 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset type terminal 314. As shown in Fig. 6, 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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.

[0146] In the headset type terminal 314, the identification process is performed by the processor 46. A identification program 60 is stored in the storage 50. 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 a control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the headset type terminal 314 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 also perform processing similar to that of the identification processing unit 290 using these models.

[0147] 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.

[0148] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset type terminal 314. In the headset type terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits audio data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0149] 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 AIs other than the generative AI. The AI ​​other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.

[0150] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset type terminal 314, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset type terminal 314. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the headset type terminal 314 or an external device, etc., and the headset type terminal 314 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0151] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0152] [Fourth embodiment] FIG. 7 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0153] 7, a data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0154] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32.

[0156] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46.

[0157] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS image sensor or a CCD image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0158] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.

[0159] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

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 AIs other than the generative AI. The AI ​​other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.

[0167] 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.

[0168] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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).

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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."

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.
