For example, the selection unit can input the user's social media data into a generation AI and have the generation AI present relevant options.
[0039] The generation unit can adjust the level of detail of the plan based on the importance of the selected elements during generation. For example, the generation unit generates a plan that includes detailed descriptions for elements with high importance. The generation unit can also generate a plan that includes concise descriptions for elements with low importance. The generation unit can also prioritize displaying elements with high importance and postpone displaying elements with low importance. In this way, by adjusting the level of detail of the plan based on the importance of the selected elements, a more appropriate plan can be provided. 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 importance data of the selected elements into the generation AI and have the generation AI adjust the level of detail of the plan.

[0041] The generation unit can determine the priority of the plan based on the submission times of the selected elements at the time of generation. For example, the generation unit can prioritize elements selected early in the plan. The generation unit can also prioritize elements with high urgency in the plan. The generation unit can also incorporate elements with later submission times into the plan at a later date. In this way, by determining the priority of the plan based on the submission times of the selected elements, a more appropriate plan can be provided. Some or all of the above-described processing in the generation unit can be performed using, or without, a generation AI.

The acquisition unit selects the optimal acquisition method, for example, based on weather information for places the user has visited in the past. The acquisition unit can also adjust the frequency of acquiring weather information based on the user's past travel history. The acquisition unit can also analyze the user's past travel history and select the most efficient method of acquiring weather information. In this way, more appropriate weather information can be provided by analyzing the past travel history. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input the user's past travel history data into a generation AI and have the generation AI select the optimal acquisition method.
[0099] When acquiring weather information, the acquisition unit can perform filtering based on the user's current travel plan. For example, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquisition of relevant weather information based on the user's current travel plan. The acquisition unit can also filter unnecessary weather information based on the user's current travel plan. The acquisition unit can also acquire optimal weather information based on the user's current travel plan.

Furthermore, when the user is in a hurry, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring short-term weather information. Furthermore, when the user is excited, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring detailed weather information. This allows for determining priorities according to the user's emotions, thereby providing more appropriate weather information. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI may be, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above-described processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input the user's emotion data into the generation AI and have the generation AI determine the priority of the weather information.
[0101] When acquiring weather information, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring highly relevant information by taking into account the user's geographical location information. The acquisition unit, for example, prioritizes acquiring relevant weather information based on the user's current location. The acquisition unit can also prioritize acquiring relevant weather information based on the user's destination. The acquisition unit can also prioritize acquiring relevant weather information based on the user's travel route. This makes it possible to provide more appropriate weather information by taking the geographical location information into consideration. Some or all of the above-described processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input the user's geographical location information data to the generation AI and cause the generation AI to acquire highly relevant weather information.
[0102] When acquiring weather information, the acquisition unit can analyze the user's social media activity and acquire related information. For example, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring weather information for travel destinations shared by the user on social media. The acquisition unit can also prioritize acquiring weather information for places that the user has "liked" on social media. The acquisition unit can also prioritize acquiring weather information from travel-related accounts that the user follows on social media. This allows for more appropriate weather information to be provided by analyzing social media activity. Some or all of the above-described processing by the acquisition unit can be performed using, or without, AI, for example. For example, the acquisition unit can input the user's social media data into the generation AI and have the generation AI acquire related weather information.
[0103] The collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of collecting transportation information based on the estimated user emotions. For example, when the user is relaxed, the collection unit can periodically collect transportation information. Furthermore, when the user is in a hurry, the collection unit can also collect transportation information in real time. Furthermore, when the user is excited, the collection unit can frequently collect transportation information. This allows for adjusting the collection timing according to the user's emotions, thereby providing more appropriate transportation information. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI may be, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above-described processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, an AI, or may be performed without using an AI.

The collection unit can also adjust the frequency of collecting transportation information based on the user's past travel history. The collection unit can also analyze the user's past travel history and select the most efficient method of collecting transportation information. In this way, more appropriate transportation information can be provided by analyzing the past travel history.

[0109] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0110] The travel planning system can be equipped with a health monitoring unit that monitors the user's health condition during the trip. The health monitoring unit acquires vital data such as the user's heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature in real time, and if an abnormality is detected, it can suggest appropriate measures. For example, if the user's heart rate suddenly rises, it can suggest taking a break. Also, if the user's blood pressure is high, it can suggest a relaxing activity. Furthermore, if the user's body temperature is high, it can suggest moving to a cooler place. This reduces health risks during travel and allows the user to enjoy their trip with peace of mind.
[0111] The travel planning system may include an emotion recording unit that records the user's emotions during the trip. The emotion recording unit records changes in the user's emotions during the trip, allowing them to be reviewed later. For example, if the user is impressed by a particular tourist spot, the emotion can be recorded. Also, if the user enjoys a particular activity, the emotion can be recorded. Furthermore, if the user is satisfied with a particular restaurant, the emotion can be recorded. This can enrich travel memories and be useful for planning the next trip.
[0112] The travel planning system may include an expense management unit that manages expenses incurred by a user during a trip. The expense management unit records expenses incurred by a user during a trip in real time, supporting the user in staying within a budget. For example, if a user pays an entrance fee at a specific tourist attraction, the expense is recorded. If a user pays for a meal at a specific restaurant, the expense can also be recorded. Furthermore, if a user pays for a fare for a specific means of transportation, the expense can also be recorded. This allows the user to manage expenses during a trip and prevent the user from going over budget.
[0113] The travel planning system may include a photo organizing unit that organizes photos taken by a user during their trip. The photo organizing unit automatically organizes photos taken by the user during their trip and creates albums. For example, the photo organizing unit may organize photos taken by the user at specific tourist spots and create an album for each tourist spot. The system may also organize photos taken by the user during specific activities and create an album for each activity. Furthermore, the system may organize photos taken at specific restaurants and create an album for each restaurant. This allows users to organize their travel memories and easily look back on them later.
[0114] The travel planning system may include a communication support unit that supports communication during the user's trip. The communication support unit supports the user in smoothly communicating with local people. For example, if the user does not understand the local language, it may provide a translation function. It may also provide information to help the user understand the local culture and customs. It may also provide event information for the user to interact with local people. This allows the user to smoothly communicate with local people and enjoy their trip more.
[0115] The trip planning system can estimate the user's emotions and suggest activities for the trip based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it can suggest relaxing activities. If the user is excited, it can also suggest active activities. Furthermore, if the user is tired, it can suggest relaxing spa or massages. In this way, activities can be suggested according to the user's emotions, making the trip more enjoyable.
[0116] The trip planning system can estimate the user's emotions and suggest meals to eat during the trip based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it can suggest a restaurant with a relaxing atmosphere. If the user is excited, it can also suggest a lively restaurant. Furthermore, if the user is tired, it can suggest a cafe or bar where the user can relax. In this way, meals can be suggested according to the user's emotions, making the trip more enjoyable.
[0117] The travel planning system can estimate the user's emotions and suggest accommodations for the trip based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, a hotel where the user can relax can be suggested. If the user is excited, a hotel with an active atmosphere can be suggested. Furthermore, if the user is tired, a hotel with a spa where the user can relax can be suggested. In this way, accommodations can be suggested according to the user's emotions, making the trip more enjoyable.
[0118] The trip planning system can estimate the user's emotions and suggest transportation methods for the trip based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it can suggest a relaxing transportation method. If the user is excited, it can also suggest an active transportation method. Furthermore, if the user is tired, it can also suggest a comfortable transportation method. In this way, transportation methods according to the user's emotions can be suggested, making the trip more enjoyable.
[0119] The trip planning system can estimate the user's emotions and suggest tourist spots during the trip based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, it can suggest tourist spots where the user can relax. If the user is excited, it can also suggest tourist spots where the user can be active. Furthermore, if the user is tired, it can suggest tourist spots with natural scenery where the user can relax. In this way, tourist spots can be suggested according to the user's emotions, making the trip more enjoyable.
[0120] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0121] Step 1: The selection unit selects the elements of destination, time, meal, transportation, and weather. For example, the user can select the destination and time, but not the meal or transportation, allowing them to enjoy free activities at the destination. Step 2: The generator generates a travel plan based on the elements selected by the selector. The generator calculates the optimal route and schedule based on the selected elements, and generates a comprehensive plan that gives an overall image. For example, if a destination is selected, it will suggest the best hotels, meals, and transportation options for that destination. Step 3: The calculation unit calculates routes and schedules based on the plans generated by the generation unit. For example, it calculates the optimal means of transportation and time allocation based on the routes and schedules proposed by the generation AI. Step 4: The reservation unit makes reservations based on the information calculated by the calculation unit. For example, reservations can be made for hotels, restaurants, and transportation suggested by the generation AI all at once.
[0122] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing.

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 of voice data, text data, image data, etc. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification 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 may perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI may also be an AI agent. When the processing of each of the above-mentioned 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. The processing performed by an AI including the generative AI may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by an AI including the generative AI.

The microphone 238, the speaker 240, the camera 42, and the display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0146] 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.
[0147] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.

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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.

[0164] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54.

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.
[0166] 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.

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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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).

[0173] 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.
[0174] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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).
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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."
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
