Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example 1) An AI service according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a generation AI to determine whether a user is a monitored user or a general customer and distributes service information based on the result. The AI service collects user information, and the generation AI analyzes the information to determine whether the user is a monitored user or a general customer. Based on the determination result, the generation AI generates appropriate service information and provides it to the user. For example, the AI service collects information such as the user's name, age, gender, and past usage history. This information is input into the generation AI. The generation AI then analyzes the input information and determines whether the user is a monitored user or a general customer. For example, the generation AI identifies whether the user is a monitored user or a general customer based on past usage history or specific conditions. Based on the determination result, the generation AI generates appropriate service information. For example, it generates specific service information for monitored users and different service information for general customers. This service information is provided to the user. This allows the AI service to provide appropriate service information to the user. For example, by providing specific discounts and benefits to monitored users and regular service information to general customers, user satisfaction can be improved. This allows the AI service to provide appropriate service information to the user. For example, user satisfaction can be improved by providing specific discounts and special offers to those who are being monitored, and providing regular service information to general customers.
[0029] The AI service according to the embodiment includes a collection unit, an analysis unit, and a generation unit. The collection unit collects user information. The user information includes, but is not limited to, for example, name, age, gender, and past usage history. The collection unit collects information with, for example, the user's consent. The collection unit can also encrypt the collected information. For example, the collection unit obtains user consent using a checkbox or a consent form. The collection unit can also encrypt the information using encryption technology such as AES or RSA. The analysis unit analyzes the information collected by the collection unit and determines whether the user is a monitored user or a general customer. The analysis is performed using, for example, but is not limited to, a machine learning algorithm or a rule-based analysis method. For example, the analysis unit classifies users based on past usage history or specific conditions. The analysis unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the analysis criteria based on the estimated emotions. For example, the analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions using facial expression recognition or voice analysis, and perform a detailed analysis if the user is relaxed and a brief analysis if the user is stressed. The generation unit generates a service guide based on the determination result obtained by the analysis unit. The generation is performed, for example, using a specific template, but is not limited to such an example. For example, the generation unit generates the service guide using a template engine. The generation unit can also generate a service guide customized based on user attributes. For example, the generation unit provides different service guides depending on the user's age and gender. This allows the AI service according to the embodiment to collect and analyze user information and generate appropriate service guides. For example, by collecting and analyzing user information and generating appropriate service guides, it is possible to provide services quickly and accurately.
[0030] The collection unit may include a means for obtaining user consent. The collection unit may obtain user consent using, for example, a checkbox. For example, the collection unit may provide a checkbox on a web form and start information collection when the user selects the checkbox. The collection unit may also obtain user consent using a consent form. For example, the collection unit may provide the user with a paper or electronic consent form and confirm consent with a signature. The collection unit may also obtain user consent using an electronic signature. For example, the collection unit may confirm consent by having the user sign a digital signature using electronic signature technology. This improves the reliability of information collection by obtaining user consent. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the collection unit may automate the process of obtaining user consent using AI.

For example, the collection unit may encrypt the collected information using the AES algorithm and securely store it. The collection unit may also encrypt the information using RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman). For example, the collection unit may encrypt the collected information using the RSA algorithm and securely transmit it. The collection unit may also hash the information using SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm). For example, the collection unit may hash the collected information using the SHA algorithm to prevent tampering. By encrypting the collected information, the security of the information is improved. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit may automate the information encryption process using AI.
[0032] The generation unit can create a service guide using a specific template. The generation unit generates the service guide using, for example, a template engine. For example, the generation unit creates a service guide suitable for a user based on a pre-prepared template. The generation unit can also generate the service guide using a specific format or design. For example, the generation unit uses a unified design template to maintain consistency in the service guide. The generation unit can also generate the service guide using a template including specific items. For example, the generation unit uses a template including the user's name and benefit information to create a personalized service guide. In this way, the use of a specific template maintains consistency in the service guide.

For example, the generation unit can automate the template engine using a generation AI to efficiently generate the service guide.
[0033] The generation unit can create a personalized service guide based on the user's attributes. The generation unit customizes the service guide based on the user's age, for example. For example, the generation unit provides service guides for younger people and service guides for older people separately. The generation unit can also customize the service guide based on the user's gender. For example, the generation unit creates service guides for men and women, respectively. The generation unit can also customize the service guide based on the user's occupation or hobbies. For example, the generation unit provides service guides related to a specific occupation or special offer information according to a hobby. This improves user satisfaction by providing a service guide customized based on the user's attributes. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input user attribute information into the generation AI and generate a personalized service guide.
[0034] The collection unit can analyze the user's past usage history and select the most appropriate information collection method. The collection unit, for example, analyzes the user's past usage history and prioritizes collecting related information. For example, the collection unit collects related information based on services the user has frequently used in the past. The collection unit can also select the most effective information collection method from the user's past usage history. For example, the collection unit selects a method that the user has previously preferred, such as email or app notifications. The collection unit can also analyze the user's past usage history and determine the optimal timing for information collection. For example, the collection unit sets the optimal collection timing based on the time period in which the user received information in the past. This allows the optimal information collection method to be selected by analyzing the user's past usage history. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's past usage history data into a generation AI, which can select the optimal information collection method.
[0035] When collecting information, the collection unit can select information based on the user's current areas of interest. The collection unit, for example, filters information based on the user's current areas of interest. For example, the collection unit prioritizes collecting information related to topics that the user is currently interested in. The collection unit can also filter relevant information based on the user's recent search history. For example, the collection unit collects information related to keywords recently searched by the user. The collection unit can also collect relevant information based on the activities of online communities in which the user participates. For example, the collection unit analyzes posts in forums and groups in which the user participates and collects relevant information. This allows highly relevant information to be collected by filtering information based on the user's areas of interest. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's area of interest data into a generation AI, which then filters relevant information.
[0036] When collecting information, the collection unit can select the optimal collection means depending on the user's input method. For example, if the user uses voice input, the collection unit collects information using voice recognition technology. For example, the collection unit analyzes voice data acquired by a microphone and collects information. Furthermore, if the user uses text input, the collection unit can also collect information using text analysis technology. For example, the collection unit analyzes text data entered by the user and collects information. Furthermore, if the user uses image input, the collection unit can also collect information using image recognition technology. For example, the collection unit analyzes image data acquired by a camera and collects information. This enables efficient information collection by selecting the optimal collection means depending on the user's input method. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's input data into a generation AI, which can select the optimal collection means.
[0037] When collecting information, the collection unit can prioritize collecting highly relevant information by taking into account the user's geographical location information. The collection unit, for example, prioritizes collecting event information related to the user's current location. For example, the collection unit collects nearby event information based on the user's GPS data. The collection unit can also prioritize collecting nearby store information based on the user's geographical location. For example, the collection unit collects special offer information for nearby stores based on the user's location information. The collection unit can also prioritize collecting area-specific special offer information based on the user's location information. For example, the collection unit collects area-specific discount information based on the user's location information. In this way, highly relevant information can be collected by taking the user's geographical location information into account. Some or all of the above-described processing by the collection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's geographical location data into a generation AI, and the generation AI can collect highly relevant information.
[0038] When collecting information, the collection unit can analyze the user's social media activities and collect related information.

For example, the collection unit collects the latest posts from the accounts the user follows. The collection unit can also analyze the content of the user's social media posts and collect related information. For example, the collection unit analyzes the content of the user's posts and collects information on related topics. The collection unit can also collect related information by referring to the activities of the user's friends on social media. For example, the collection unit collects related information based on information shared by the user's friends. In this way, highly relevant information can be collected by analyzing the user's social media activities. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing by the collection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's social media data into a generation AI, which then collects related information.
[0039] When collecting information, the collection unit can individualize the collection method by reflecting the user's past feedback. The collection unit, for example, improves the information collection method based on feedback provided by the user in the past. For example, the collection unit adjusts the information collection method based on survey results provided by the user in the past. The collection unit can also adjust the type of information to collect by referring to the user's past feedback. For example, the collection unit selects the type of information to collect based on information the user has previously requested. The collection unit can also optimize the timing of information collection based on the user's feedback. For example, the collection unit collects information at times that the user has previously preferred. In this way, the collection method can be optimized by reflecting the user's past feedback. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's feedback data into a generation AI and have the generation AI individualize the collection method.

This enables more appropriate guidance by adjusting the level of detail of the guide based on the user's importance. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit may be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input user importance data into the generation AI and have the generation AI set the level of detail of the guide.
[0084] When generating a service guide, the generation unit can use different generation algorithms depending on the user's category. For example, if the user is being monitored, the generation unit applies a specific generation algorithm. For example, the generation unit generates a guide using a specific template for the monitored user. The generation unit can also apply a different generation algorithm if the user is a general customer. For example, the generation unit generates a guide using a different template for the general customer. The generation unit can also select an optimal generation algorithm based on the user's category. For example, the generation unit selects an optimal generation algorithm based on the user's age group and interests. This enables more appropriate guidance by applying different generation algorithms depending on the user's category. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit can be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or can be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input user category data into the generation AI and have the generation AI select an optimal generation algorithm.
[0085] When generating a service guide, the generation unit can improve the accuracy of generation based on the user's past guidance results.

The generation unit can also analyze the user's past guidance results and select the optimal generation method. For example, the generation unit selects the optimal generation method based on the type of guidance the user has preferred in the past. The generation unit can also adjust the content of the generation by referring to the user's past guidance results. For example, the generation unit adjusts the content of the generation based on the content of guidance that the user has given a high rating in the past. This improves the accuracy of generation by referring to the user's past guidance results. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit may be performed using, for example, a generation AI, or may be performed without using a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input the user's past guidance result data into the generation AI and use the generation AI to improve the accuracy of generation.
[0086] The generation unit can estimate the user's emotion and set the length of the service guidance based on the estimated user's emotion. The generation unit can estimate the user's emotion using, for example, facial expression recognition technology. For example, the generation unit can analyze the user's facial expression captured by a camera and determine whether the user is relaxed or stressed. The generation unit can also estimate the user's emotion using voice analysis technology. For example, the generation unit can analyze the tone and speed of the user's voice to estimate the emotion. The generation unit can also estimate the user's emotion using text analysis technology. For example, the generation unit can analyze text entered by the user to estimate the emotion. This enables more appropriate guidance by adjusting the length of the service guidance based on the user's emotion. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or generation AI. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to these examples.

The generation unit can also adjust the priority of the guide based on the time of submission by the user. For example, the generation unit sets the priority of the guide based on the time of submission by the user. The generation unit can also quickly generate a service guide if the user submits late. For example, the generation unit quickly creates the guide based on data submitted late by the user. This enables more appropriate guidance by determining the priority of the guide based on the time of submission by the user. Some or all of the above-described processing by the generation unit may be performed using, or without, a generation AI. For example, the generation unit can input the user's submission time data into the generation AI and set the priority of the guide by the generation AI.
[0088] When generating a service guide, the generation unit can set the order of the guide based on the user's relevance.

[0130] 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.
[0131] 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.
[0132] 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.
[0133] 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.
[0134] 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.
[0135] 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.
[0136] 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.
[0137] 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.
[0138] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0143] 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.
[0144] 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).
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.

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.
[0150] 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 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.

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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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).
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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."
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
