The emotion estimation is achieved 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 these examples. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collaboration unit can be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the collaboration unit can input parent's emotion data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to adjust the collaboration method.
[0094] When collaborating with a medical professional, the collaboration unit can optimize the collaboration algorithm by referring to past collaboration data. The collaboration unit, for example, selects an optimal collaboration method based on collaboration performed in the past. The collaboration unit can also optimize the collaboration algorithm by referring to the past collaboration data. Furthermore, the collaboration unit can customize the content of collaboration based on the past collaboration data. In this way, by referring to the past collaboration data, the collaboration algorithm can be optimized and the accuracy of collaboration can be improved. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collaboration unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collaboration unit can input past collaboration data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to optimize the collaboration algorithm.
[0095] The collaboration unit can estimate the parent's emotions and determine the priority of collaboration based on the estimated parent's emotions. For example, if the parent is feeling anxious, the collaboration unit can prioritize important collaboration. Furthermore, if the parent is relaxed, the collaboration unit can prioritize detailed collaboration. Furthermore, if the parent is feeling anxious, the collaboration unit can prioritize concise collaboration. In this way, by determining the priority of collaboration according to the parent's emotions, important collaboration can be prioritized. Emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI may 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-mentioned processing in the collaboration unit may be performed using an AI, for example, or without an AI. For example, the collaboration unit can input parent's emotion data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to determine the priority of collaboration.
[0096] When collaborating with a medical professional, the collaboration unit can select a collaboration method based on the guardian's geographic location information. For example, if the guardian lives in a specific area, the collaboration unit can provide a collaboration method related to that area. Furthermore, if the guardian is traveling, the collaboration unit can provide a collaboration method related to the travel destination. Furthermore, if the guardian is planning to move, the collaboration unit can provide a collaboration method related to the new area. In this way, by providing a collaboration method based on the guardian's geographic location information, collaboration specific to the area can be performed. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the collaboration unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the collaboration unit can input the guardian's geographic location information data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to select the optimal collaboration method. === Hard Collateral 1-1 === Each of the multiple elements, including the reception unit, analysis unit, suggestion unit, storage unit, advice unit, provision unit, and linking unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the smart device 14 and the data processing device 12.

[0097] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0098] The reception unit can analyze the parent's voice tone and speaking speed to estimate the parent's stress level. For example, if the parent's voice is trembling or they speak quickly, it can determine that they are under high stress and provide quick and concise question formats. If the parent's voice is calm, it can accept detailed questions. Furthermore, if the parent's voice tone changes, it can detect that change and take appropriate action. This makes it possible to provide a more appropriate method of accepting questions based on the parent's voice tone and speaking speed.
[0099] The analysis unit can refer to data on similar past cases for the symptoms entered by the guardian and predict the progression of the symptoms. For example, based on data on children who have had the same symptoms in the past, the analysis unit can predict the future progression of the symptoms and suggest points to watch out for to the guardian. The analysis unit can also suggest necessary measures in stages based on the predicted progression of the symptoms. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also suggest the timing of a medical examination based on the predicted progression of the symptoms. This makes it possible to provide more accurate analysis results by utilizing past case data.
[0100] The suggestion unit can adjust the timing of suggesting solutions based on the parent's lifestyle. For example, if the parent asks many questions at night, the suggestion unit can suggest solutions that are suitable for the night. If the parent is busy during the day, the suggestion unit can also suggest solutions that can be implemented in a short time. Furthermore, if the parent has more time on the weekends, the suggestion unit can suggest detailed solutions that can be implemented on the weekends. In this way, by suggesting solutions that suit the parent's lifestyle, the suggestion unit can provide suggestions that are easier to implement.
[0101] The providing unit can provide optimal hospital information by referring to the guardian's past hospital visit history. For example, it can suggest hospitals that can treat similar symptoms based on the evaluations and treatment details of hospitals visited in the past. It can also preferentially suggest hospitals with treatment styles preferred by the guardian based on the past visit history. Furthermore, it can also exclude hospitals that the guardian wants to avoid based on the past visit history. In this way, it is possible to provide more appropriate hospital information by utilizing the guardian's past visit history.
[0102] The collaboration unit can analyze parents' social media activities and customize how they collaborate with medical professionals. For example, if a parent shares a lot of information about childcare on social media, it can prioritize collaboration with medical professionals specializing in childcare. Alternatively, if a parent shares a lot of information about health, it can prioritize collaboration with medical professionals specializing in health. Furthermore, if a parent shares a lot of information about a specific illness, it can prioritize collaboration with medical professionals who are knowledgeable about that illness. This makes it possible to provide more personalized support by collaborating with medical professionals based on parents' social media activities.
[0103] The reception unit can estimate the parent's emotions and, based on the estimated parent's emotions, provide relaxing music and images when accepting questions. For example, if the parent is feeling anxious, relaxing music can be played to give the parent a sense of security. If the parent is feeling anxious, calming images can be displayed to encourage the parent to calm down. Furthermore, if the parent is relaxed, interactive images can be provided to allow for more detailed questions to be accepted. This allows for a smooth acceptance of questions by providing content with a relaxing effect that matches the parent's emotions.
[0104] The analysis unit can estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the notification method of the analysis results based on the estimated parent's emotions. For example, if the parent is feeling anxious, the analysis results can be quickly notified to provide a sense of security. If the parent is relaxed, detailed analysis results can be notified. Furthermore, if the parent is anxious, a concise analysis result can be notified to encourage a prompt response. This makes it possible to provide more appropriate information by providing a notification method of the analysis results according to the parent's emotions.
[0105] The suggestion unit can estimate the parent's emotions and add an encouraging message when proposing a solution based on the estimated parent's emotions. For example, if the parent is feeling anxious, a message such as "It's okay, you're a great parent" can be displayed to reassure the parent. If the parent is feeling impatient, a message such as "Calm down and take it easy" can be displayed to encourage the parent to stay calm. Furthermore, if the parent is relaxed, a message such as "Keep up the good work" can be displayed to maintain motivation. In this way, by providing encouraging messages that correspond to the parent's emotions, solution suggestions can be made more effectively.
[0106] The storage unit can estimate the parent's emotions and adjust the display method of the stored data based on the estimated parent's emotions. For example, if the parent is feeling anxious, important data can be highlighted to provide a sense of security. If the parent is relaxed, detailed data can be displayed. Furthermore, if the parent is anxious, simple data can be displayed to encourage a quick response. In this way, by providing a display method of the stored data according to the parent's emotions, more appropriate information can be provided.
[0107] The collaboration unit can estimate the parent's emotions and provide emotional support when collaborating with a medical professional based on the estimated parent's emotions. For example, if the parent is feeling anxious, the collaboration unit can inform the medical professional of the parent's emotional state and encourage them to take measures to reassure the parent. If the parent is feeling anxious, the collaboration unit can request the medical professional to take prompt action. Furthermore, if the parent is feeling relaxed, the collaboration unit can request the medical professional to provide a detailed explanation. This allows for more effective collaboration with a medical professional by providing emotional support according to the parent's emotions.
[0108] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0109] Step 1: The reception unit accepts questions in a natural conversational format. For example, if a parent asks about their child's symptoms, the reception unit can accept the question. It can also accept photos or videos of the child's symptoms taken by the parent. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the symptoms based on the questions received by the reception unit. For example, it analyzes the symptoms entered by the guardian and suggests appropriate measures to deal with those symptoms. It can also analyze photos and videos uploaded by the guardian and suggest appropriate measures to deal with them based on the images. Step 3: The suggestion unit suggests a countermeasure based on the symptoms analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the suggestion unit suggests a specific countermeasure to the guardian based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. Step 4: The storage unit stores past symptom data. For example, symptoms and diagnosis results previously entered by the guardian can be stored in a database. Step 5: The advice unit provides advice based on the data stored by the storage unit. For example, the advice unit refers to past symptom data and suggests future preventive measures to the guardian. Step 6: The provider provides information about nearby hospitals. For example, it searches for nearby hospitals that are available for treatment based on the current location and provides the information to the guardian. Step 7: The Liaison Department will work with medical professionals and pediatricians, for example, to provide support to parents to ensure they receive appropriate diagnosis and treatment, as needed.

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.
[0141] 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.
[0142] 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.
[0143] 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 including an instruction, as well as inference data such as audio data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image (e.g., still image data or video data). 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 one or more data formats, such as audio data, text data, and image 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 models 58 include AIs other than the generation AI. Examples of AIs other than the generation AI include, but are not limited to, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), and naive Bayes. These AIs can perform various types of processing, but are not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processing of each of the above-described parts is performed by an AI, the processing may be performed in part or entirely by the AI, but is not limited to these examples. Processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI.
[0144] 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.
[0145] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0146] [Fourth embodiment] FIG. 7 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0147] 7, the data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0148] The data processing device 12 includes a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication I / F 26. The computer 22 includes a processor 28, a RAM 30, and a storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication I / F 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication I / F 26 is connected to a network 54. Examples of the network 54 include a WAN and / or a LAN.
[0149] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication I / F 44, and a control target 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, a RAM 48, and a storage 50. The processor 46, the RAM 48, and the storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the control target 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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).
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] In the robot 414, the processor 46 performs the identification process. The storage 50 stores the identification program 60. The processor 46 reads the identification program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read identification program 60 on the RAM 48. The identification process is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 also has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can perform the same process as the identification processing unit 290 using these models.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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 including an instruction, as well as inference data such as audio data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image (e.g., still image data or video data). 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 one or more data formats, such as audio data, text data, and image 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.

[0161] 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.
[0162] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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).
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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."
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
