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 health promotion system according to an embodiment of the present invention analyzes work progress and sends health promotion messages to users. This health promotion system assesses the user's health status by collecting data on PC operating time, whether a sensing chair is used, and whether chat or email tools are used, and analyzing the data using AI. For example, if a user sits for long periods of time or uses a PC for more than a certain period of time, the AI sends health promotion messages such as "Why don't you take a break?" or "Get up and exercise for a bit!" This mechanism helps users maintain a healthy work style. First, the system collects data on PC operating time, whether a sensing chair is used, and whether chat or email tools are used. Each data item is collected in detail and used as basic data for AI analysis. For example, the PC operating time records the amount of time the user uses the PC, and the sensing chair measures the amount of time the user spends sitting. The use of chat or email tools provides data to understand the extent of the user's communication. Next, the AI analyzes the collected data. The AI evaluates the user's health status based on the collected data. For example, if the user sits for long periods of time or uses a PC for more than a certain period of time, the AI evaluates the user's health risks and suggests appropriate actions. Furthermore, based on the analysis results, the system sends messages encouraging health to users. For example, specific messages such as "Why don't you take a break?" or "Get up and exercise for a bit!" are sent to support the user's health. This system allows users to maintain a healthy working style. This allows the health promotion system to automatically analyze the user's work situation and send health promotion messages at appropriate times.
[0029] A health promotion system according to an embodiment includes a collection unit, an analysis unit, and a notification unit. The collection unit collects information on the operating time of a PC and whether or not a sensing chair, chat tool, or email tool is being used. The operating time of a PC is recorded, for example, by recording the time the PC is turned on and the time during which active operations are being performed. The sensing chair measures the amount of time a user spends sitting using, for example, a seat pressure sensor or a posture detection sensor. Whether or not a chat tool or email tool is being used is determined, for example, based on the tool's login status and message sending / receiving history. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit to evaluate the user's health condition. The analysis is performed, for example, using statistical analysis of data or a machine learning algorithm. The analysis unit evaluates the user's sitting time, work time, communication frequency, and other factors based on the collected data to determine health risks. The notification unit sends a health promotion message to the user based on the evaluation results obtained by the analysis unit. The notification unit sends specific messages, such as "Why don't you take a break?" or "Stand up and get some exercise!" The notification unit can send messages at appropriate times depending on the user's health condition. As a result, the health promotion system according to the embodiment can automatically analyze the user's work situation and send health promotion messages at appropriate times.
[0030] The collection unit can collect the operating time of the PC. The operating time of the PC includes, for example, the time the PC is turned on and the time when active operations are being performed.

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 operating time data of the PC to a generation AI and have the generation AI analyze the data.
[0031] The collection unit can collect sensing chair data. The sensing chair data includes, for example, the amount of time the user spends sitting, measured using a seat pressure sensor and a posture detection sensor. The collection unit, for example, uses sensors mounted on the sensing chair to record the amount of time the user spends sitting in detail. The collection unit can also monitor the sensing chair data in real time to determine the amount of time the user spends sitting. For example, the collection unit measures the amount of time the user spends sitting using a seat pressure sensor and detects the user's posture using a posture detection sensor. In this way, by collecting the sensing chair data, the amount of time the user spends sitting can be determined. 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 sensing chair data into a generation AI and have the generation AI analyze the data.
[0032] The collection unit can collect information on whether a chat or email tool is being used. Information on whether a chat or email tool is being used includes, for example, the login status of the tool and message sending and receiving history. The collection unit, for example, monitors the login status of the chat tool or email tool to understand the extent to which the user is communicating. The collection unit can also analyze the message sending and receiving history to evaluate the frequency of the user's communication. For example, the collection unit records the login status of the chat tool and analyzes the message sending and receiving history. By collecting information on whether a chat or email tool is being used, the user's communication status can be understood. 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 usage data of the chat or email tool into a generation AI and have the generation AI analyze the data.
[0033] The analysis unit can evaluate the user's health condition based on the collected data. For example, the analysis unit evaluates the user's sedentary time, work time, communication frequency, etc. based on the collected data. The analysis is performed using, for example, statistical analysis of data or machine learning algorithms. The analysis unit can determine the user's health risk based on the collected data and suggest appropriate actions. For example, the analysis unit can evaluate the user's health risk and suggest appropriate actions if the user has been sitting for a long time or has used a PC for more than a certain period of time. In this way, by evaluating the user's health condition based on the collected data, appropriate health promotion notifications can be sent. 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 collected data into a generation AI and have the generation AI analyze the data.
[0034] The notification unit can send a health promotion message to the user, such as "Why don't you take a break?" or "Stand up and exercise!" based on the evaluation results. The notification unit can send a specific message to the user, such as "Why don't you take a break?" or "Stand up and exercise!" based on the evaluation results. The notification unit can send a message at an appropriate time depending on the user's health condition. For example, the notification unit can send a message to the user encouraging them to take a break if the user has been sitting for a long time or has been using a PC for more than a certain period of time. This supports the user's healthy working style by sending a health promotion message based on the evaluation results. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the notification unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or without AI. For example, the notification unit can input the evaluation results into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to generate an appropriate message.
[0035] The collection unit can analyze the user's past data collection history and select an appropriate collection method. The collection unit, for example, analyzes the user's past data collection history and selects the optimal collection method. For example, if the user has collected data frequently in the past, the collection unit can collect data at a similar frequency. Also, if the user has collected data during a specific time period in the past, the collection unit can also collect data according to that time period. Furthermore, the collection unit can select the most efficient collection method from the user's past data collection history. In this way, the optimal collection method can be selected by analyzing the past data collection history. 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 past data collection history into a generation AI and have the generation AI select the optimal collection method.
[0036] The collection unit can filter data based on the user's current work situation and areas of interest when collecting data. For example, the collection unit can filter data based on the user's current work situation and areas of interest when collecting data. For example, if the user is in a meeting, the collection unit can collect only data related to the meeting. Also, if the user is concentrating on a specific project, the collection unit can collect only data related to the project. Furthermore, the collection unit can collect only highly relevant data based on the user's areas of interest. In this way, highly relevant data can be collected by filtering data based on the user's work situation and areas of interest. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input data on the user's work situation and areas of interest to a generation AI and have the generation AI perform data filtering.
[0037] The collection unit can prioritize collecting highly relevant data by taking into account the user's geographical location information when collecting data. For example, the collection unit prioritizes collecting highly relevant data by taking into account the user's geographical location information when collecting data. For example, when the user is in the office, the collection unit prioritizes collecting data within the office. Also, when the user is at home, the collection unit can prioritize collecting data within the home. Furthermore, when the user is on a business trip, the collection unit can prioritize collecting data at the business trip destination. In this way, highly relevant data can be collected preferentially by taking into account the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above-described processing by the collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's geographical location information to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to select highly relevant data.
[0038] The collection unit can analyze the user's social media activity and collect related data when collecting data. For example, the collection unit can analyze the user's social media activity and collect related data when collecting data. For example, if the user posts about health on social media, the collection unit can collect health-related data. Also, if the user posts about work on social media, the collection unit can collect work-related data. Furthermore, if the user posts about a specific event on social media, the collection unit can collect data related to the event. In this way, related data can be collected by analyzing the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collection unit can be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the collection unit can input the user's social media activity data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to collect related data.
[0039] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the data during analysis. The analysis unit, for example, adjusts the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the data during analysis. For example, the analysis unit performs a detailed analysis on data with high importance. The analysis unit can also perform a simplified analysis on data with low importance. Furthermore, the analysis unit can determine the priority of the analysis according to the importance of the data. This enables efficient analysis by adjusting the level of detail of the analysis based on the importance of the data. 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 importance of the data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the level of detail of the analysis.
[0040] The analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the data category during analysis. For example, the analysis unit can apply different analysis algorithms depending on the data category during analysis. For example, the analysis unit can apply an algorithm that evaluates health risks to health data. The analysis unit can also apply an algorithm that evaluates business efficiency to business data. Furthermore, the analysis unit can apply an algorithm that evaluates communication quality to communication data. In this way, by applying different analysis algorithms depending on the data category, appropriate analysis results can be provided. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the analysis unit can be performed using AI, for example, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the data category to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to apply an appropriate analysis algorithm.
[0041] The analysis unit can determine the analysis priority based on the time when the data was collected during analysis. The analysis unit, for example, determines the analysis priority based on the time when the data was collected during analysis. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes analyzing the most recent data. The analysis unit can also analyze the most recent data while referring to past data. Furthermore, the analysis unit can determine the analysis priority according to the time when the data was collected. In this way, by determining the analysis priority based on the time when the data was collected, the most recent data can be analyzed preferentially. 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 time when the data was collected into the generation AI and have the generation AI determine the analysis priority.
[0042] The analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis based on the relevance of the data during analysis. The analysis unit, for example, adjusts the order of analysis based on the relevance of the data during analysis. For example, the analysis unit prioritizes analysis of highly relevant data. The analysis unit can also postpone analysis of less relevant data. Furthermore, the analysis unit can adjust the order of analysis according to the relevance of the data. This enables efficient analysis by adjusting the order of analysis based on the relevance of the data. 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 relevance of the data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the order of analysis.
[0043] The notification unit can select an appropriate notification method by analyzing the user's past reaction history at the time of notification. For example, the notification unit can select the optimal notification method by analyzing the user's past reaction history at the time of notification. For example, the notification unit can prioritize the use of notification methods that the user has previously received favorably. The notification unit can also avoid notification methods that the user has previously ignored. Furthermore, the notification unit can select the optimal notification method based on the user's past reaction history. In this way, by selecting the optimal notification method based on the user's past reaction history, it is possible to provide effective notifications to the user. Some or all of the above-described processing in the notification unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the notification unit can input the user's past reaction history into a generation AI and have the generation AI select the optimal notification method.
[0044] The notification unit can customize the timing of the notification based on the user's current work status when notifying the user. For example, the notification unit customizes the timing of the notification based on the user's current work status when notifying the user. For example, if the user is in a meeting, the notification unit can notify the user after the meeting ends. Furthermore, if the user is concentrating, the notification unit can notify the user when the user has finished their work. Furthermore, the notification unit can notify the user at the optimal timing depending on the user's work status. In this way, by customizing the timing of the notification depending on the user's work status, the notification can be made at an appropriate timing that does not interfere with the user's work. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the notification unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the notification unit can input the user's work status data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to customize the timing of the notification.
[0045] The notification unit can select an appropriate notification method by taking into account the user's geographical location information at the time of notification. For example, the notification unit selects an appropriate notification method by taking into account the user's geographical location information at the time of notification. For example, when the user is in the office, the notification unit selects an appropriate notification method for the office. Furthermore, when the user is at home, the notification unit can also select an appropriate notification method for the home. Furthermore, when the user is on a business trip, the notification unit can also select an appropriate notification method for the business trip destination. In this way, an appropriate notification method can be selected by taking into account the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above-described processing in the notification unit may be performed using AI, for example, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the notification unit can input the user's geographical location information to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to select an appropriate notification method.
[0046] The notification unit can customize the content of the notification by analyzing the user's social media activity at the time of notification. For example, the notification unit can customize the content of the notification by analyzing the user's social media activity at the time of notification. For example, if the user posts about health on social media, the notification unit can provide a health-related notification. Furthermore, if the user posts about work on social media, the notification unit can provide a work-related notification. Furthermore, if the user posts about a specific event on social media, the notification unit can provide a notification related to the event. In this way, by analyzing the user's social media activity, it is possible to provide relevant notification content. Some or all of the above-described processing in the notification unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the notification unit can input the user's social media activity data into a generation AI and cause the generation AI to customize the content of the notification.
[0047] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0048] The health promotion system can also collect the user's dietary data and have the analysis unit evaluate the nutritional balance. For example, the user takes a photo of their meal, and the collection unit acquires the image data. The analysis unit uses image recognition technology to analyze the meal contents and evaluate the balance of nutrients. Furthermore, based on the analysis results, the notification unit can send specific advice such as, "You're lacking in vitamins. Eat some fruit!" This can also support the user's dietary habits.
[0049] The health promotion system can also collect the user's sleep data and use the analysis unit to evaluate the quality of the sleep. For example, the collection unit obtains sleep data from the user's smartwatch or smartphone. The analysis unit analyzes the depth of sleep and the number of interruptions to evaluate the user's sleep quality. Based on the analysis results, the notification unit can send advice such as, "It seems you slept lightly last night. Try going to bed earlier tonight." This can help improve the user's sleep habits.
[0050] The health promotion system can also collect the user's exercise data and use the analysis unit to evaluate the amount of exercise. For example, the collection unit obtains exercise data from the user's smartwatch or fitness tracker. The analysis unit analyzes the number of steps taken and calories burned to evaluate the user's amount of exercise. Based on the analysis results, the notification unit can send specific advice such as, "You haven't exercised enough today. Walk 1,000 more steps!" This can support the user's exercise habits.
[0051] The health promotion system can also collect the user's stress level and use the analysis unit to manage stress. For example, the collection unit acquires data from a device that measures the user's heart rate and electrodermal activity. The analysis unit analyzes this data and evaluates the user's stress level. Based on the analysis results, the notification unit can send advice such as "Your stress is increasing. Take a deep breath and relax." This can support the user's stress management.
[0052] The health promotion system can also collect the user's water intake and use the analysis unit to evaluate the need for hydration. For example, the collection unit acquires data from an application that records the amount of water the user drinks. The analysis unit analyzes this data and evaluates the user's water intake. Based on the analysis results, the notification unit can send advice such as "You're not hydrated enough. Drink a glass of water." This can support the user's hydration.
[0053] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0054] Step 1: The collection unit collects information on the PC's operating time, the sensing chair, and whether chat or email tools are being used. The PC's operating time is recorded, for example, by recording the time the PC is turned on and the time that active operations are being performed. The sensing chair measures the amount of time the user is sitting using, for example, a seat pressure sensor or posture detection sensor. The use of chat or email tools is determined, for example, based on the tool's login status and message sending / receiving history. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit and evaluates the user's health condition. The analysis is performed, for example, using statistical analysis of the data or machine learning algorithms. Based on the collected data, the analysis unit evaluates the user's sedentary time, work time, communication frequency, etc., and determines health risks. Step 3: The notification unit sends a message encouraging the user to improve their health based on the evaluation results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the notification unit sends specific messages such as "Why don't you take a break?" or "Get up and exercise for a bit!" The notification unit can send messages at appropriate times depending on the user's health condition.
[0055] (Example 2) A health promotion system according to an embodiment of the present invention analyzes work progress and sends health promotion messages to users. This health promotion system assesses the user's health status by collecting data on PC operating time, whether a sensing chair is used, and whether chat or email tools are used, and analyzing the data using AI. For example, if a user sits for long periods of time or uses a PC for more than a certain period of time, the AI sends health promotion messages such as "Why don't you take a break?" or "Get up and exercise for a bit!" This mechanism helps users maintain a healthy work style. First, the system collects data on PC operating time, whether a sensing chair is used, and whether chat or email tools are used. Each data item is collected in detail and used as basic data for AI analysis. For example, the PC operating time records the amount of time the user uses the PC, and the sensing chair measures the amount of time the user spends sitting. The use of chat or email tools provides data to understand the extent of the user's communication. Next, the AI analyzes the collected data. The AI evaluates the user's health status based on the collected data. For example, if the user sits for long periods of time or uses a PC for more than a certain period of time, the AI evaluates the user's health risks and suggests appropriate actions. Furthermore, based on the analysis results, the system sends messages encouraging health to users. For example, specific messages such as "Why don't you take a break?" or "Get up and exercise for a bit!" are sent to support the user's health. This system allows users to maintain a healthy working style. This allows the health promotion system to automatically analyze the user's work situation and send health promotion messages at appropriate times.
[0056] A health promotion system according to an embodiment includes a collection unit, an analysis unit, and a notification unit. The collection unit collects information on the operating time of a PC and whether or not a sensing chair, chat tool, or email tool is being used. The operating time of a PC is recorded, for example, by recording the time the PC is turned on and the time during which active operations are being performed. The sensing chair measures the amount of time a user spends sitting using, for example, a seat pressure sensor or a posture detection sensor. Whether or not a chat tool or email tool is being used is determined, for example, based on the tool's login status and message sending / receiving history. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit to evaluate the user's health condition. The analysis is performed, for example, using statistical analysis of data or a machine learning algorithm. The analysis unit evaluates the user's sitting time, work time, communication frequency, and other factors based on the collected data to determine health risks. The notification unit sends a health promotion message to the user based on the evaluation results obtained by the analysis unit. The notification unit sends specific messages, such as "Why don't you take a break?" or "Stand up and get some exercise!"

In this way, by adjusting the way the notification is expressed based on the user's emotions, it is possible to provide notifications that are easy for the user to accept.
[0091] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0092] Step 1: The collection unit collects information on the PC's operating time, the sensing chair, and whether chat or email tools are being used. The PC's operating time is recorded, for example, by recording the time the PC is turned on and the time that active operations are being performed. The sensing chair measures the amount of time the user is sitting using, for example, a seat pressure sensor or posture detection sensor. The use of chat or email tools is determined, for example, based on the tool's login status and message sending / receiving history. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit and evaluates the user's health condition. The analysis is performed, for example, using statistical analysis of the data or machine learning algorithms. Based on the collected data, the analysis unit evaluates the user's sedentary time, work time, communication frequency, etc., and determines health risks. Step 3: The notification unit sends a message encouraging the user to improve their health based on the evaluation results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the notification unit sends specific messages such as "Why don't you take a break?" or "Get up and exercise for a bit!" The notification unit can send messages at appropriate times depending on the user's health condition.

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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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).
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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."
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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, in order to avoid confusion and to 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.
