Furthermore, in this specification, the same concept as "A and / or B" is also applied when three or more things are expressed connected by "and / or."

[0016] [First embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0017] 1, a data processing system 10 includes a data processing device 12 and a smart device 14. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0018] 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 (Wide Area Network) and / or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0019] The smart device 14 includes a computer 36, a reception device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication I / F 44. 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 reception device 38, the output device 40, and the camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0020] The reception device 38 includes a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and receives user input. The touch panel 38A detects contact with a pointer (for example, a pen or a finger) to receive user input by the touch of the pointer. The microphone 38B detects the user's voice to receive user input by voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 (see FIG. 2) acquires the data indicating the user input.

[0021] Output device 40 includes a display 40A and a speaker 40B, and presents data to a user by outputting the data in a form of expression that the user can perceive (e.g., audio and / or text). Display 40A displays visible information such as text and images in accordance with instructions from processor 46. Speaker 40B outputs audio in accordance with instructions from processor 46. Camera 42 is a compact 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.

[0022] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 control the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54.

[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. 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.

[0026] In the smart device 14, the specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The specific processing program 60 is used together with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. Note that the smart device 14 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 specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[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 support system according to an embodiment of the present invention provides support to users to help them achieve their desired appearance or goals. When a user inputs a goal, the AI ​​breaks the goal down into specific tasks and presents them in the form of quests. By completing these quests, the user can progress toward the goal. For example, if a user inputs a goal such as "I want to have a healthy body," the AI ​​analyzes the goal and breaks it down into specific tasks. Tasks such as "exercise 30 minutes daily" and "eat a balanced diet" are generated. These tasks are presented in the form of quests, and the user reports their progress as they complete the quests. Completing quests increases the user's level, similar to a role-playing game, and the user's character moves closer to their ideal appearance. For example, completing exercise quests improves the character's physical strength and makes them look healthier. Furthermore, the AI ​​monitors the user's progress and adjusts tasks as necessary. For example, if the user is unable to continue exercising, the AI ​​simplifies the task or suggests an alternative method. This allows the user to move forward toward their goal without straining themselves. This allows the support system to significantly advance the user's goal. For example, by the time a character reaches Level 100, the user will also be much closer to achieving the goals and dreams they had envisioned.

[0029] The support system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, a provision unit, and a monitoring unit. The reception unit receives a user's input of a goal. The goal input by the user may include, but is not limited to, a short-term goal, a long-term goal, a quantitative goal, and a qualitative goal. The reception unit may receive the goal by, for example, text input, voice input, image input, or the like. The analysis unit analyzes the goal input by the reception unit. The analysis may be performed by, for example, but is not limited to, data analysis, text analysis, or sentiment analysis. For example, the analysis unit may analyze the content of the goal using natural language processing technology and extract important keywords. The analysis unit may also analyze the user's sentiment using sentiment analysis technology. The generation unit generates a task based on the goal analyzed by the analysis unit. The task may be generated in the form of, for example, a simple task, a complex task, a step-by-step task, or the like, but is not limited to, the above. For example, the generation unit may generate a task optimal for the goal using a machine learning algorithm. The generation unit may also generate a task using a rule-based algorithm. The providing unit provides the task generated by the generating unit in a quest format. The quest format may be, for example, a game format, a scenario format, a challenge format, or the like, but is not limited to these examples. For example, the providing unit notifies the user of the content of the quest by a text message or a voice message. The providing unit can also display the progress of the quest in real time. The monitoring unit monitors the progress of the quest provided by the providing unit. The progress is measured by, for example, an achievement rate, the number of completed tasks, the passage of time, or other methods, but is not limited to these examples. For example, the monitoring unit checks whether the user has completed the quest and records the progress. The monitoring unit can also adjust the task according to the user's progress. This enables the support system according to the embodiment to efficiently analyze the user's goal, generate tasks, provide quests, and monitor progress.

[0030] The monitoring unit includes an adjustment unit that adjusts tasks according to the user's progress. The adjustment unit adjusts the tasks according to the user's progress. Methods of adjusting the tasks include, but are not limited to, adjusting the difficulty of the tasks and changing the order of the tasks. For example, the adjustment unit may lower the difficulty of a task if the user is unable to continue the task. The adjustment unit may also increase the difficulty of the next task if the user completes the task. The adjustment unit may also change the order of the tasks according to the user's progress. For example, the adjustment unit may present the next task after the user completes a specific task. This allows the user to smoothly progress toward their goal by adjusting the tasks according to their progress. Some or all of the above-described processing in the adjustment unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the adjustment unit may input user progress data into AI, which then adjusts the tasks.

[0031] The reception unit can analyze the user's past goal input history and select the optimal input method. For example, the reception unit preferentially suggests input methods (such as voice and text) that the user has frequently used in the past. The reception unit can also analyze patterns of goals that the user has previously input and suggest the optimal input method. The reception unit can also suggest the optimal input method for a specific time period based on the user's past input history. In this way, the optimal input method can be provided by analyzing the user's past goal input history. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's past input data into AI, which can select the optimal input method.

[0032] The reception unit can filter goals based on the user's current living situation and areas of interest when the goal is input. For example, the reception unit can preferentially suggest goals related to a project the user is currently working on. The reception unit can also suggest appropriate goals based on the user's current living situation (work, family, etc.). The reception unit can also filter goals based on the user's areas of interest (hobbies, interests, etc.). In this way, more appropriate goals can be suggested by filtering goals based on the user's living situation and areas of interest. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's living situation data and area of ​​interest data into AI, which can then filter the goals.

[0033] The reception unit can select the optimal input means depending on the user's input method when inputting a target. For example, if the user prefers voice input, the reception unit can prioritize voice input. Also, if the user prefers text input, the reception unit can prioritize text input. Also, if the user prefers image input, the reception unit can prioritize image input. This makes it easier to input a target by providing the optimal input means depending on the user's input method. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's input method data to AI, which can select the optimal input means.

[0034] When inputting a goal, the reception unit can prioritize inputting highly relevant goals by taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, when the user is in a specific area, the reception unit can prioritize inputting goals related to that area. Furthermore, when the user is traveling, the reception unit can also prioritize inputting goals related to the travel destination. Furthermore, when the user is at home, the reception unit can also prioritize inputting goals that can be achieved at home. In this way, highly relevant goals can be prioritized by taking the user's geographical location information into account. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's geographical location information data into AI, which can select highly relevant goals.

[0035] When a goal is input, the reception unit can analyze the user's social media activity and input related goals. For example, the reception unit can automatically input goals shared by the user on social media. The reception unit can also analyze the user's social media activity and input related goals. The reception unit can also input related goals by referring to the activity of the user's friends on social media. In this way, related goals can be input by analyzing the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's social media data into AI, which can select related goals.

[0036] The reception unit can customize the input method by reflecting the user's past feedback when inputting a target. For example, the reception unit can suggest an optimal input method based on feedback provided by the user in the past. The reception unit can also preferentially provide a specific input method based on the user's past feedback. The reception unit can also analyze the user's feedback and customize the input method. In this way, the input method can be customized by reflecting the user's past feedback. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the reception unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's feedback data into AI, which can select the optimal input method.

[0037] During goal analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the goal. For example, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis on a goal with high importance. The analysis unit can also perform a simplified analysis on a goal with low importance. The analysis unit can also adjust the priority of the analysis according to the importance of the goal. This allows for efficient analysis by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the goal. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input goal importance data into AI, which can then adjust the level of detail of the analysis.

[0038] When analyzing goals, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the goal. For example, the analysis unit can apply a health data analysis algorithm to health-related goals. The analysis unit can also apply a learning data analysis algorithm to learning-related goals. The analysis unit can also apply a work data analysis algorithm to work-related goals. In this way, by applying different analysis algorithms depending on the category of the goal, more appropriate analysis can be performed. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input goal category data into AI, which can select an appropriate analysis algorithm.

[0039] During target analysis, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to the user's past analysis results. The analysis unit, for example, adjusts the analysis algorithm based on the user's past analysis results. The analysis unit can also extract specific patterns from the user's past analysis results to improve the analysis accuracy. The analysis unit can also adjust the level of detail of the analysis by referring to the user's past analysis results. This improves the accuracy of the analysis by referring to the user's past analysis results. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's past analysis data into AI, which can improve the accuracy of the analysis.

[0040] During goal analysis, the analysis unit can determine the priority of analysis based on the submission date of the goal. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes analysis of goals with an upcoming submission deadline. The analysis unit can also postpone analysis of goals with a distant submission deadline. The analysis unit can also adjust the analysis schedule according to the submission date. This allows for efficient analysis by determining the priority of analysis based on the submission date of the goal. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input data on the submission date of goals into AI, which can then determine the priority of analysis.

[0041] The analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of the goals during target analysis. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes analysis of highly relevant goals. The analysis unit can also postpone analysis of less relevant goals. The analysis unit can also adjust the order of analysis according to the relevance of the goals. By adjusting the order of analysis based on the relevance of the goals, efficient analysis can be performed. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input goal relevance data into AI, which can then adjust the order of analysis.

[0042] During target analysis, the analysis unit can adjust the use of technical terms in the analysis according to the user's level of expertise. For example, the analysis unit can provide an analysis that uses a lot of technical terms to a user with high levels of expertise. The analysis unit can also provide an analysis in simpler terms to a user with low levels of expertise. The analysis unit can also adjust the level of detail of the analysis according to the user's level of expertise. This allows for more appropriate analysis by adjusting the use of technical terms in the analysis according to the user's level of expertise. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's level of expertise data into AI, which can then adjust the use of technical terms in the analysis.

[0074] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0075] Step 1: The receiving unit receives the user's goal input. The goals input by the user include short-term goals, long-term goals, quantitative goals, qualitative goals, etc. The receiving unit can receive the goal by text input, voice input, image input, etc. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the goal input by the reception unit. The analysis is performed using methods such as data analysis, text analysis, and sentiment analysis. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the content of the goal using natural language processing technology and extracts important keywords. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's emotions using sentiment analysis technology. Step 3: The generator generates tasks based on the goals analyzed by the analyzer. The tasks may be simple tasks, complex tasks, step-by-step tasks, or other types of tasks. For example, the generator may use a machine learning algorithm to generate tasks that best fit the goals. Alternatively, the generator may use a rule-based algorithm to generate tasks. Step 4: The providing unit provides the task generated by the generating unit in the form of a quest. The quest may be provided in the form of a game, a scenario, a challenge, or the like. For example, the providing unit may notify the user of the content of the quest by a text message or a voice message. The providing unit may also display the progress of the quest in real time. Step 5: The monitoring unit monitors the progress of the quest provided by the providing unit. The progress is measured by methods such as the completion rate, the number of completed tasks, or the passage of time. For example, the monitoring unit checks whether the user has completed the quest and records the progress. The monitoring unit can also adjust the task according to the user's progress.

[0076] (Example 2) A support system according to an embodiment of the present invention provides support to users to help them achieve their desired appearance or goals. When a user inputs a goal, the AI ​​breaks the goal down into specific tasks and presents them in the form of quests. By completing these quests, the user can progress toward the goal. For example, if a user inputs a goal such as "I want to have a healthy body," the AI ​​analyzes the goal and breaks it down into specific tasks. Tasks such as "exercise 30 minutes daily" and "eat a balanced diet" are generated. These tasks are presented in the form of quests, and the user reports their progress as they complete the quests. Completing quests increases the user's level, similar to a role-playing game, and the user's character moves closer to their ideal appearance. For example, completing exercise quests improves the character's physical strength and makes them look healthier. Furthermore, the AI ​​monitors the user's progress and adjusts tasks as necessary. For example, if the user is unable to continue exercising, the AI ​​simplifies the task or suggests an alternative method. This allows the user to move forward toward their goal without straining themselves. This allows the support system to significantly advance the user's goal. For example, by the time a character reaches Level 100, the user will also be much closer to achieving the goals and dreams they had envisioned.

[0077] The support system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, a provision unit, and a monitoring unit. The reception unit receives a user's input of a goal. The goal input by the user may include, but is not limited to, a short-term goal, a long-term goal, a quantitative goal, and a qualitative goal. The reception unit may receive the goal by, for example, text input, voice input, image input, or the like. The analysis unit analyzes the goal input by the reception unit. The analysis may be performed by, for example, but is not limited to, data analysis, text analysis, or sentiment analysis. For example, the analysis unit may analyze the content of the goal using natural language processing technology and extract important keywords. The analysis unit may also analyze the user's sentiment using sentiment analysis technology. The generation unit generates a task based on the goal analyzed by the analysis unit. The task may be generated in the form of, for example, a simple task, a complex task, a step-by-step task, or the like, but is not limited to, the above. For example, the generation unit may generate a task optimal for the goal using a machine learning algorithm. The generation unit may also generate a task using a rule-based algorithm. The providing unit provides the task generated by the generating unit in a quest format. The quest format may be, for example, a game format, a scenario format, a challenge format, or the like, but is not limited to these examples. For example, the providing unit notifies the user of the content of the quest by a text message or a voice message. The providing unit can also display the progress of the quest in real time. The monitoring unit monitors the progress of the quest provided by the providing unit. The progress is measured by, for example, an achievement rate, the number of completed tasks, the passage of time, or other methods, but is not limited to these examples. For example, the monitoring unit checks whether the user has completed the quest and records the progress. The monitoring unit can also adjust the task according to the user's progress. This enables the support system according to the embodiment to efficiently analyze the user's goal, generate tasks, provide quests, and monitor progress.

The adjustment unit may also increase the difficulty of the next task if the user completes the task. The adjustment unit may also change the order of the tasks according to the user's progress. For example, the adjustment unit may present the next task after the user completes a specific task. This allows the user to smoothly progress toward their goal by adjusting the tasks according to their progress. Some or all of the above-described processing in the adjustment unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the adjustment unit may input user progress data into AI, which then adjusts the tasks.

[0079] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of goal input based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the reception unit can prompt the user to input goals at a time when the user can relax. Furthermore, if the user is concentrating, the reception unit can also prompt the user to input goals at that time. Furthermore, if the user is tired, the reception unit can also prompt the user to input goals after resting. By adjusting the timing of goal input according to the user's emotions, goals can be input at a more appropriate time. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. Some or all of the above-described processing in the reception unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or without AI.

For example, the reception unit can input the user's facial expression data into the generation AI, which then estimates the user's emotions and determines the priority of goals based on the result.

[0084] When inputting a goal, the reception unit can prioritize inputting highly relevant goals by taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, when the user is in a specific area, the reception unit can prioritize inputting goals related to that area. Furthermore, when the user is traveling, the reception unit can also prioritize inputting goals related to the travel destination. Furthermore, when the user is at home, the reception unit can also prioritize inputting goals that can be achieved at home.

Furthermore, the providing unit can suggest new provision methods based on the user's past provision history. This allows the optimal quest provision to be performed based on the user's past provision history.

[0138] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0139] Step 1: The receiving unit receives the user's goal input. The goals input by the user include short-term goals, long-term goals, quantitative goals, qualitative goals, etc. The receiving unit can receive the goal by text input, voice input, image input, etc. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the goal input by the reception unit. The analysis is performed using methods such as data analysis, text analysis, and sentiment analysis. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the content of the goal using natural language processing technology and extracts important keywords. The analysis unit can also analyze the user's emotions using sentiment analysis technology. Step 3: The generator generates tasks based on the goals analyzed by the analyzer. The tasks may be simple tasks, complex tasks, step-by-step tasks, or other types of tasks. For example, the generator may use a machine learning algorithm to generate tasks that best fit the goals. Alternatively, the generator may use a rule-based algorithm to generate tasks. Step 4: The providing unit provides the task generated by the generating unit in the form of a quest. The quest may be provided in the form of a game, a scenario, a challenge, or the like. For example, the providing unit may notify the user of the content of the quest by a text message or a voice message. The providing unit may also display the progress of the quest in real time. Step 5: The monitoring unit monitors the progress of the quest provided by the providing unit. The progress is measured by methods such as the completion rate, the number of completed tasks, or the passage of time. For example, the monitoring unit checks whether the user has completed the quest and records the progress. The monitoring unit can also adjust the task according to the user's progress.

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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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).

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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."

[0199] 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.

[0200] 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.

[0201] 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.

[0202] 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.

[0203] 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.

[0204] 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.

[0205] 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.

[0206] 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.

[0207] 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.

[0208] 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.

[0209] 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.
