[0028] (Example 1) The congratulatory telegram and flower arrangement system of an embodiment of the present invention reduces the labor required to arrange congratulatory telegrams and flowers and prevents oversight. This system automatically selects online promotion information, searches for the company's headquarters address on the company's official website, searches for sales representatives in the company's internal system, and uses AI to determine the appropriate amount of flowers and telegrams. It then compiles all of this information and requests the sales representative to make the final decision on whether to send it. The sales representative then clicks a button to place an order. For example, when automatically selecting online promotion information, a web crawler is used to collect promotion information from official company announcements and news sites. Articles containing specific keywords (e.g., "promotion" or "advancement") are automatically detected and the relevant information is extracted. Next, when searching for a company's headquarters address on the company's official website, address information is extracted from the company's official website using web scraping technology. For example, address information is obtained from the company's "Company Profile" page or "Contact Us" page. Furthermore, when searching for sales representatives in the internal system, the system uses the company's customer relationship management (CRM) system to search for the relevant company's sales representative. By entering the company name, the system obtains information about the sales representative in charge. Next, when the AI determines the appropriate amount of flowers or telegrams, it calculates the appropriate amount based on past data and industry practices. By learning from past data on the prices of flowers and telegrams, the AI automatically suggests the appropriate amount. When the sales representative makes a final decision on whether to send all of this information, the collected information is compiled into a single report and sent to the sales representative. The sales representative reviews the report and approves it if there are no problems. Finally, when the sales representative presses a button to submit an order, the order is automatically submitted based on the approved information. The necessary information is entered into the ordering system, and the order is completed with a single button. This system significantly reduces the labor required to arrange flowers and telegrams and prevents oversights. For example, manual information gathering and confirmation is no longer necessary, allowing for efficient arrangements. Furthermore, by using AI, the system can suggest the appropriate amount of flowers and telegrams, ensuring accurate arrangements. This allows the system to significantly reduce the labor required to arrange flowers and telegrams and prevent oversights.
[0029] A congratulatory telegram and flower arrangement system according to an embodiment includes a collection unit, a search unit, an identification unit, a determination unit, a transmission unit, and an ordering unit. The collection unit collects promotion information. The collection unit, for example, uses a web crawler to collect the promotion information. The web crawler automatically detects articles containing specific keywords (such as "promotion" or "advancement") and extracts relevant information. For example, the web crawler collects promotion information from official company announcements and news sites. The search unit searches for addresses based on the information collected by the collection unit. For example, the search unit uses web scraping technology to search for address information from official company websites. Web scraping technology acquires address information from the company's "company profile" page or "contact us" page. For example, the search unit extracts address information from official company websites. The identification unit identifies a sales representative based on the information retrieved by the search unit. For example, the identification unit searches for a sales representative using an internal customer relationship management (CRM) system. The internal customer relationship management system acquires information about sales representatives by inputting the company name. For example, the identification unit searches the in-house system for a sales representative of the relevant company. The determination unit determines the amount based on the information identified by the identification unit. The determination unit determines the amount based on, for example, past data and industry practices. The past data includes data on the amounts of past congratulatory flowers and telegrams. For example, the determination unit calculates an appropriate amount by learning data on the amounts of past congratulatory flowers and telegrams. The transmission unit compiles and transmits the information determined by the determination unit. For example, the transmission unit compiles and transmits the collected information in a single report. The report includes the collected information. For example, the transmission unit transmits the collected information to a sales representative. The ordering unit submits an order request based on the information transmitted by the transmission unit. For example, the ordering unit inputs necessary information into an ordering system and submits an order request with the press of a button. The ordering system automatically submits an order request based on the approved information. For example, the ordering unit completes the request with the press of a button. As a result, the congratulatory flower and telegram arrangement system according to the embodiment can significantly reduce the amount of work required to arrange congratulatory flowers and telegrams and prevent omissions.

[0063] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0064] Step 1: The collection unit collects promotion information. The collection unit collects promotion information using, for example, a web crawler. The web crawler automatically detects articles containing specific keywords (such as "promotion" or "advancement") and extracts the relevant information. For example, the web crawler collects promotion information from official company announcements and news sites. Step 2: The search unit searches for addresses based on the information collected by the collection unit. For example, the search unit uses web scraping technology to search for address information from the company's official website. Web scraping technology obtains address information from the company's "About Us" page or "Contact Us" page. For example, the search unit extracts address information from the company's official website. Step 3: The identification unit identifies a sales representative based on the information searched by the search unit. The identification unit searches for a sales representative, for example, using an internal customer relationship management system (CRM). The internal customer relationship management system obtains information about the sales representative in charge by inputting the company name. For example, the identification unit searches the internal system for the sales representative of the relevant company. Step 4: The determination unit determines the amount based on the information identified by the identification unit. The determination unit determines the amount based on, for example, past data and industry practices. Past data includes data on the amounts of past congratulatory flowers and telegrams. For example, the determination unit calculates an appropriate amount by learning data on the amounts of past congratulatory flowers and telegrams. Step 5: The transmitting unit compiles and transmits the information determined by the determining unit. For example, the transmitting unit compiles and transmits the collected information in a single report. The report includes the collected information. For example, the transmitting unit transmits the collected information to a sales representative. Step 6: The ordering unit submits an order application based on the information sent by the sending unit. For example, the ordering unit inputs the necessary information into the ordering system and submits an order application with the press of a button. The ordering system automatically submits an order application based on the approved information. For example, the ordering unit completes the application with the press of a button.
[0065] (Example 2) The congratulatory telegram and flower arrangement system of an embodiment of the present invention reduces the labor required to arrange congratulatory telegrams and flowers and prevents oversight. This system automatically selects online promotion information, searches for the company's headquarters address on the company's official website, searches for sales representatives in the company's internal system, and uses AI to determine the appropriate amount of flowers and telegrams. It then compiles all of this information and requests the sales representative to make the final decision on whether to send it. The sales representative then clicks a button to place an order. For example, when automatically selecting online promotion information, a web crawler is used to collect promotion information from official company announcements and news sites. Articles containing specific keywords (e.g., "promotion" or "advancement") are automatically detected and the relevant information is extracted. Next, when searching for a company's headquarters address on the company's official website, address information is extracted from the company's official website using web scraping technology. For example, address information is obtained from the company's "Company Profile" page or "Contact Us" page. Furthermore, when searching for sales representatives in the internal system, the system uses the company's customer relationship management (CRM) system to search for the relevant company's sales representative. By entering the company name, the system obtains information about the sales representative in charge. Next, when the AI determines the appropriate amount of flowers or telegrams, it calculates the appropriate amount based on past data and industry practices. By learning from past data on the prices of flowers and telegrams, the AI automatically suggests the appropriate amount. When the sales representative makes a final decision on whether to send all of this information, the collected information is compiled into a single report and sent to the sales representative. The sales representative reviews the report and approves it if there are no problems. Finally, when the sales representative presses a button to submit an order, the order is automatically submitted based on the approved information. The necessary information is entered into the ordering system, and the order is completed with a single button. This system significantly reduces the labor required to arrange flowers and telegrams and prevents oversights. For example, manual information gathering and confirmation is no longer necessary, allowing for efficient arrangements. Furthermore, by using AI, the system can suggest the appropriate amount of flowers and telegrams, ensuring accurate arrangements. This allows the system to significantly reduce the labor required to arrange flowers and telegrams and prevent oversights.

Web scraping technology acquires address information from the company's "company profile" page or "contact us" page. For example, the search unit extracts address information from official company websites. The identification unit identifies a sales representative based on the information retrieved by the search unit. For example, the identification unit searches for a sales representative using an internal customer relationship management (CRM) system. The internal customer relationship management system acquires information about sales representatives by inputting the company name. For example, the identification unit searches the in-house system for a sales representative of the relevant company. The determination unit determines the amount based on the information identified by the identification unit. The determination unit determines the amount based on, for example, past data and industry practices. The past data includes data on the amounts of past congratulatory flowers and telegrams. For example, the determination unit calculates an appropriate amount by learning data on the amounts of past congratulatory flowers and telegrams. The transmission unit compiles and transmits the information determined by the determination unit. For example, the transmission unit compiles and transmits the collected information in a single report. The report includes the collected information.

[0073] The collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of collecting promotion information based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the collection unit delays the collection timing and collects the information when the user is relaxed. For example, if the user is relaxed, the collection unit immediately collects promotion information and quickly proceeds with the processing. For example, if the user is in a hurry, the collection unit advances the collection timing and quickly collects promotion information. This allows information to be collected at a more appropriate time by adjusting the collection timing according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, 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 collection unit may be performed using an AI, for example, or without an AI. For example, the collection unit may input the user's emotion data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to estimate the emotion.

[0094] The transmission unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of the transmission content based on the estimated user emotions. For example, when the user is feeling stressed, the transmission unit prioritizes transmission of the most important transmission content. For example, when the user is relaxed, the transmission unit transmits all transmission content equally. For example, when the user is in a hurry, the transmission unit prioritizes transmission of the most important transmission content. In this way, by determining the priority of the transmission content according to the user's emotions, important content can be transmitted preferentially.

For example, the transmitting unit can input literature and reference materials related to the content of transmission into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the attached materials.
[0097] The order unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the order confirmation method based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the order unit provides a simple confirmation method and quickly confirms the order details. For example, if the user is relaxed, the order unit provides a detailed confirmation method and suggests customizable order details. For example, if the user is in a hurry, the order unit quickly confirms the order details based on past data. This allows for more appropriate confirmation by adjusting the confirmation method according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved 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 order unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the order unit can input the user's emotion data into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform emotion estimation.
[0098] When placing an order, the ordering unit can select the optimal ordering method by referring to past order history.

[0103] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0104] The collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of promotion information to be collected based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, less important promotion information can be postponed and more important information can be collected first. If the user is relaxed, all promotion information can be collected equally. If the user is in a hurry, the most important promotion information can be collected first and other information can be postponed. This allows important information to be collected first by determining the priority according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. Some or all of the above-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 emotion data into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform emotion estimation.
[0105] When searching for address information, the search unit can refer to a reliable database other than the company's official website. For example, in addition to the company's official website, address information can be obtained from an industry association database. In addition to the company's official website, address information can also be obtained from a government business registration database. Furthermore, address information can also be obtained from commercial databases (e.g., D&B, Hoover's). This allows accurate address information to be obtained by referencing a reliable database. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the search unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the search unit can input address information obtained from a reliable database into the generation AI and have the generation AI analyze the address information.
[0106] The determination unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the criteria for determining the amount based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, simple criteria can be provided to quickly determine the amount. If the user is relaxed, detailed criteria can be provided to quickly suggest a customizable amount. If the user is in a hurry, the amount can be quickly determined based on past data. This allows for a more appropriate amount to be determined by adjusting the criteria for determining the amount according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, an emotion engine or a generation AI.

In this way, by referring to past search history, search accuracy is improved. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the search unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the search unit can input past search history into a generation AI and have the generation AI improve search accuracy.
[0111] When determining the amount, the determination unit can adjust the amount according to a specific event or season. For example, the amount can be adjusted according to a year-end or New Year's event. The amount can also be adjusted according to a specific season (e.g., spring, summer). Furthermore, the amount can also be adjusted according to a specific event (e.g., founding anniversary, anniversary). In this way, by adjusting the amount according to a specific event or season, an appropriate amount can be suggested. Some or all of the above-described processing in the determination unit may be performed using, or without, AI, for example. For example, the determination unit can input information about a specific event or season into the generation AI and have the generation AI adjust the amount.
[0112] The transmission unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way the transmitted content is expressed based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, a simple and clear way of expression can be provided. If the user is relaxed, a way of expression including detailed information can be provided. If the user is in a hurry, a way of expression that focuses on the main points can be provided. This allows for more appropriate expression by adjusting the way the transmitted content is expressed according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI can be a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI, but is not limited to such examples. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the transmission unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or without AI.

[0113] When placing an order, the ordering unit can place an order taking into consideration evaluation information of the contractor and service provider. For example, the ordering unit can select the most suitable contractor based on the evaluation information of the contractor. It is also possible to select the most suitable provider based on the evaluation information of the contractor's service provider. Furthermore, it is possible to analyze the contractor's evaluation information and propose the most suitable contractor. This makes it possible to place a highly reliable order by taking the evaluation information into consideration. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the ordering unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the ordering unit can input the contractor's evaluation information into the generation AI and have the generation AI select a contractor.
[0114] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.
[0115] Step 1: The collection unit collects promotion information. The collection unit collects promotion information using, for example, a web crawler. The web crawler automatically detects articles containing specific keywords (such as "promotion" or "advancement") and extracts the relevant information. For example, the web crawler collects promotion information from official company announcements and news sites. Step 2: The search unit searches for addresses based on the information collected by the collection unit. For example, the search unit uses web scraping technology to search for address information from the company's official website. Web scraping technology obtains address information from the company's "About Us" page or "Contact Us" page. For example, the search unit extracts address information from the company's official website. Step 3: The identification unit identifies a sales representative based on the information searched by the search unit. The identification unit searches for a sales representative, for example, using an internal customer relationship management system (CRM). The internal customer relationship management system obtains information about the sales representative in charge by inputting the company name. For example, the identification unit searches the internal system for the sales representative of the relevant company. Step 4: The determination unit determines the amount based on the information identified by the identification unit. The determination unit determines the amount based on, for example, past data and industry practices. Past data includes data on the amounts of past congratulatory flowers and telegrams. For example, the determination unit calculates an appropriate amount by learning data on the amounts of past congratulatory flowers and telegrams. Step 5: The transmitting unit compiles and transmits the information determined by the determining unit. For example, the transmitting unit compiles and transmits the collected information in a single report. The report includes the collected information. For example, the transmitting unit transmits the collected information to a sales representative. Step 6: The ordering unit submits an order application based on the information sent by the sending unit. For example, the ordering unit inputs the necessary information into the ordering system and submits an order application with the press of a button. The ordering system automatically submits an order application based on the approved information. For example, the ordering unit completes the application with the press of a button.
[0116] 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 microphone 38B 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 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0117] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search engine).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of the generative AI include a neural network (NN) and a neural network (NN). The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image (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 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.
[0118] Furthermore, the processing by the data processing system 10 described above is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the smart device 14, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the smart device 14. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the smart device 14 or an external device, and the smart device 14 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.
[0119] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0167] 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.
[0168] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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).
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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."
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.

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.
