Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) The training system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a training system for supporting the treatment of autism spectrum disorder and Asperger's syndrome. This training system can replace human-assisted autism support and training by utilizing generative AI. First, the user provides input to begin training. For example, if the user wishes to receive training to improve a specific social skill, they input the details. This information is input to the generative AI. Next, the generative AI analyzes the input information and generates an optimal training program for the user. The generative AI creates an individually customized training program based on past training data and the user's characteristics. For example, this may include simulations of conversations in specific social situations or training in emotion recognition. Based on the generated training program, the user begins training. The generative AI monitors the user's responses and progress in real time and adjusts the training content as needed. For example, if the user is having difficulty with a particular task, the generative AI breaks down the task and provides it in simpler steps. Furthermore, the generative AI records the user's training results and evaluates their progress. This allows the user to see their own progress and receive feedback to move on to the next step. For example, the generative AI can evaluate the user's improvement in conversational skills and suggest the next training program. This system will enable more efficient and effective training to support the treatment of autism spectrum disorder and Asperger's syndrome. Users can progress through training at their own pace and improve specific skills through individually customized training programs. In addition, the generating AI provides real-time feedback, so users always receive appropriate support. As a result, the training system can efficiently and effectively support training to support the treatment of autism spectrum disorder and Asperger's syndrome.
[0029] The training system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a generation unit, a monitoring unit, an adjustment unit, and an evaluation unit. The reception unit receives input from the user to initiate training. This input may include, but is not limited to, text input, voice input, or multiple-choice input. For example, the reception unit can receive input from the user if they wish to receive training to improve a specific social skill. The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate a training program based on the information received by the reception unit. The generation AI creates a customized training program based on past training data and the user's characteristics. For example, the generation AI generates a training program that includes simulations of conversations in specific social situations or training in emotion recognition. The monitoring unit monitors the user's reactions and progress based on the training program generated by the generation unit. The monitoring unit can measure, for example, the user's reaction speed, accuracy rate, and progress. The adjustment unit adjusts the training content based on the information monitored by the monitoring unit. For example, if the user is having difficulty with a particular task, the adjustment unit can break down the task and provide it in simpler steps. The evaluation unit records the user's training results and evaluates their progress based on the training content adjusted by the adjustment unit. For example, the evaluation unit can evaluate the user's improvement in conversational skills and propose the next training program. This enables the training system according to the embodiment to efficiently initiate, generate, monitor, adjust, and evaluate the user's training.
[0030] The reception unit can analyze the user's past training history and select an input method. For example, if the user has preferred using voice input in the past, the reception unit will prioritize suggesting voice input. Alternatively, if the user has frequently used text input in the past, the reception unit can set text input as the default input method. Furthermore, if the user has previously trained during a specific time period, the reception unit can suggest starting training during that time period. This allows for the selection of the most user-friendly input method based on the user's past training history. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, or without AI. For example, the reception unit can input the user's past training history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal input method.
[0031] The reception unit can filter training content based on the user's lifestyle and areas of interest at the start of training. For example, if the user is experiencing stress in their current lifestyle, the reception unit can suggest training content that promotes relaxation. The reception unit can also prioritize suggesting training content related to a specific area of interest if the user is interested in that area. Furthermore, if the user has limited time in their current lifestyle, the reception unit can suggest short, effective training content. This allows for the provision of more appropriate training content by filtering it based on the user's current lifestyle and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the reception unit can input data on the user's lifestyle and areas of interest into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the filtering.
[0032] The reception desk can prioritize accepting training content that is highly relevant to the user based on their geographical location at the start of training. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the reception desk will prioritize suggesting training content related to that region. Similarly, if the user is traveling, the reception desk can prioritize suggesting training content related to their travel destination. Furthermore, if the user is at home, the reception desk can prioritize suggesting training content that can be done at home. This allows for the provision of more appropriate training content by providing highly relevant training based on the user's geographical location. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the reception desk can input the user's geographical location data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select highly relevant training content.
[0033] The reception desk can analyze the user's social media activity at the start of training and accept relevant training content. For example, if the user shows interest in a particular topic on social media, the reception desk can suggest training content related to that topic. It can also suggest relaxing training content if the user is experiencing stress on social media. Furthermore, if the user indicates on social media that they want to learn a new skill, the reception desk can suggest training content related to that skill. This allows for more appropriate training content to be provided based on the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the reception desk may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the reception desk can input the user's social media activity data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select relevant training content.
[0034] The generation unit can adjust the program details based on the importance of the training when generating the training program. For example, the generation unit may include detailed explanations and step-by-step guides for high-importance training programs. Alternatively, it may include concise explanations and key points for low-importance training programs. Furthermore, it may include a moderate level of detail and specific examples for training programs of moderate importance. This allows for the provision of more appropriate training programs by adjusting the program detail based on the importance of the training. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the generation unit can input training importance data into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the adjustment of program detail.
[0035] The generation unit can apply a generation algorithm according to the training category when generating a training program. For example, the generation unit can apply a dialogue simulation generation algorithm to a social skills training program. It can also apply a facial expression analysis generation algorithm to an emotion recognition training program. Furthermore, it can apply a scenario-based generation algorithm to a problem-solving skills training program. By applying different generation algorithms depending on the training category, a more appropriate training program can be provided. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the generation unit can input training category data into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the application of the generation algorithm.
[0036] The generation unit can determine the priority of training programs based on the training submission timing when generating training programs. For example, the generation unit can prioritize the generation of training programs with high urgency. It can also prioritize the generation of training programs with approaching submission deadlines. Furthermore, it can postpone the generation of training programs with distant submission deadlines. This allows for the provision of more appropriate training programs by prioritizing programs based on the training submission timing. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the generation unit can input training submission timing data into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the determination of program priorities.
[0037] The generation unit can adjust the order of training programs based on their relevance during program generation. For example, the generation unit can prioritize generating highly relevant training programs. It can also postpone the generation of less relevant training programs. Furthermore, it can generate training programs of moderate relevance in an appropriate order. By adjusting the program order based on training relevance, it is possible to provide more appropriate training programs. Some or all of the above processing in the generation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the generation unit can input training relevance data into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform the program order adjustment.
[0038] The monitoring unit can improve the accuracy of monitoring based on the interrelationships of the training during monitoring. For example, the monitoring unit can analyze the interrelationships of the training and monitor related training content together. The monitoring unit can also adjust the timing of monitoring by considering the interrelationships of the training. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can set monitoring criteria based on the interrelationships of the training. This improves the accuracy of monitoring by considering the interrelationships of the training. Some or all of the above processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input the interrelationship data of the training into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the improvement of monitoring accuracy.
[0039] The monitoring unit can perform monitoring based on the attribute information of the training submitter during monitoring. For example, the monitoring unit can set monitoring criteria by considering the age and gender of the training submitter.

[0042] The adjustment unit can select an adjustment method based on the user's past training history when adjusting the training content. For example, the adjustment unit can adjust the training content by referring to training methods that the user has succeeded with in the past. The adjustment unit can also adjust the training content to avoid training content that the user has found difficult in the past. Furthermore, the adjustment unit can select and adjust the optimal training content from the user's past training history. This makes it possible to adjust the training content more appropriately by referring to the user's past training history. Some or all of the above processing in the adjustment unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI.

[0050] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0051] The reception desk can acquire the user's biometric information and assess the user's health status before training begins. For example, the reception desk can measure the user's heart rate and blood pressure, and temporarily suspend training if abnormalities are detected. It can also analyze the user's sleep data and suggest lighter training content if the user hasn't had enough rest. Furthermore, the reception desk can refer to the user's dietary data and display a message encouraging nutritional supplementation if their nutritional status is insufficient. This allows for safer and more effective training by adjusting the training content based on the user's health status.
[0052] The monitoring unit can detect the user's posture during training and prompt correction if it is poor. For example, if the user is hunched over, the monitoring unit can instruct them to adopt the correct posture. It can also prompt the user to take a break if they are maintaining the same posture for an extended period. Furthermore, the monitoring unit can record the user's posture data and provide feedback later. This allows for improved training effectiveness by properly managing the user's posture.
[0053] The evaluation unit can compare a user's training results with those of other users and provide a relative evaluation. For example, the evaluation unit can evaluate a user's score by comparing it to the average score of other users who have taken the same training program. It can also evaluate a user's performance by comparing it to users of the same age group and gender. Furthermore, the evaluation unit can assess progress by comparing it to the user's past training results. This allows users to evaluate their training results from multiple perspectives and increase their motivation.
[0054] The generation unit can adjust the format of a user's training program based on their learning style. For example, it can generate a training program that heavily utilizes diagrams and graphs for visual learners. It can also generate training programs in audio guide or podcast format for auditory learners. Furthermore, it can generate training programs that include interactive simulations and practical tasks for experiential learners. By adjusting the format of the training program according to the user's learning style, it can provide more effective learning.
[0055] The adjustment unit can customize the training content based on the user's hobbies and interests when adjusting the user's training. For example, if the user is interested in sports, the training content can be provided using sports-related scenarios. If the user is interested in music, the training content can be provided that includes music-related tasks. Furthermore, if the user is interested in art, the training content can be provided that is related to art. By customizing the training content based on the user's hobbies and interests, motivation can be increased.
[0056] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.
[0057] Step 1: The reception desk receives input from the user to begin training. This input may include, for example, text input, voice input, or multiple-choice input. The reception desk can also input details if the user wishes to receive training to improve specific social skills. Step 2: The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate a training program based on the information received by the reception unit. The generation AI creates individually customized training programs based on past training data and user characteristics. For example, it generates training programs that include simulations of conversations in specific social situations or training in emotion recognition. Step 3: The monitoring unit monitors the user's reactions and progress based on the training program generated by the generation unit.

[0058] (Example of form 2) The training system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a training system for supporting the treatment of autism spectrum disorder and Asperger's syndrome. This training system can replace human-assisted autism support and training by utilizing generative AI. First, the user provides input to begin training. For example, if the user wishes to receive training to improve a specific social skill, they input the details. This information is input to the generative AI. Next, the generative AI analyzes the input information and generates an optimal training program for the user. The generative AI creates an individually customized training program based on past training data and the user's characteristics. For example, this may include simulations of conversations in specific social situations or training in emotion recognition. Based on the generated training program, the user begins training. The generative AI monitors the user's responses and progress in real time and adjusts the training content as needed. For example, if the user is having difficulty with a particular task, the generative AI breaks down the task and provides it in simpler steps. Furthermore, the generative AI records the user's training results and evaluates their progress. This allows the user to see their own progress and receive feedback to move on to the next step. For example, the generative AI can evaluate the user's improvement in conversational skills and suggest the next training program. This system will enable more efficient and effective training to support the treatment of autism spectrum disorder and Asperger's syndrome. Users can progress through training at their own pace and improve specific skills through individually customized training programs. In addition, the generating AI provides real-time feedback, so users always receive appropriate support. As a result, the training system can efficiently and effectively support training to support the treatment of autism spectrum disorder and Asperger's syndrome.
[0059] The training system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a generation unit, a monitoring unit, an adjustment unit, and an evaluation unit. The reception unit receives input from the user to initiate training. This input may include, but is not limited to, text input, voice input, or multiple-choice input. For example, the reception unit can receive input from the user if they wish to receive training to improve a specific social skill. The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate a training program based on the information received by the reception unit. The generation AI creates a customized training program based on past training data and the user's characteristics. For example, the generation AI generates a training program that includes simulations of conversations in specific social situations or training in emotion recognition. The monitoring unit monitors the user's reactions and progress based on the training program generated by the generation unit. The monitoring unit can measure, for example, the user's reaction speed, accuracy rate, and progress. The adjustment unit adjusts the training content based on the information monitored by the monitoring unit. For example, if the user is having difficulty with a particular task, the adjustment unit can break down the task and provide it in simpler steps. The evaluation unit records the user's training results and evaluates their progress based on the training content adjusted by the adjustment unit. For example, the evaluation unit can evaluate the user's improvement in conversational skills and propose the next training program. This enables the training system according to the embodiment to efficiently initiate, generate, monitor, adjust, and evaluate the user's training.
[0060] The reception unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of the training start based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is tense, the reception unit can suggest a short break to relax before starting the training. Alternatively, if the user is excited, the reception unit can start the training immediately and perform a simple warm-up to improve concentration. Furthermore, if the user is tired, the reception unit can encourage them to rest and start the training after their energy has recovered. This allows for training to begin at a more appropriate time by adjusting the timing of the training start according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI may be, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the reception unit can input the user's facial expression data into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform emotion estimation.
[0061] The reception unit can analyze the user's past training history and select an input method.

Furthermore, if the user is excited, the adjustment unit can provide feedback that includes positive reinforcement. In this way, by adjusting the feedback method according to the user's emotions, more effective training can be provided.
[0095] The evaluation unit can compare a user's training results with those of other users and provide a relative evaluation. For example, the evaluation unit can evaluate a user's score by comparing it to the average score of other users who have taken the same training program. It can also evaluate a user's performance by comparing it to users of the same age group and gender. Furthermore, the evaluation unit can assess progress by comparing it to the user's past training results. This allows users to evaluate their training results from multiple perspectives and increase their motivation.
[0096] The reception desk can estimate the user's emotions and, based on those estimates, provide content to help them relax before the training begins. For example, if the user is feeling tense, the reception desk can provide relaxing music or meditation guidance. If the user is feeling anxious, the reception desk can provide relaxing videos or breathing exercises. Furthermore, if the user is feeling stressed, the reception desk can suggest relaxing aromatherapy. In this way, by providing content to help users relax according to their emotions, a relaxed state can be created before the training begins.
[0097] The generation unit can adjust the format of a user's training program based on their learning style. For example, it can generate a training program that heavily utilizes diagrams and graphs for visual learners. It can also generate training programs in audio guide or podcast format for auditory learners. Furthermore, it can generate training programs that include interactive simulations and practical tasks for experiential learners. By adjusting the format of the training program according to the user's learning style, it can provide more effective learning.
[0098] The monitoring unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the monitoring frequency based on those emotions. For example, if the user is tense, the monitoring frequency can be reduced to provide a more relaxing environment. Conversely, if the user is relaxed, the monitoring frequency can be increased to provide more detailed feedback. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the monitoring criteria can be tightened to provide support for improving concentration. By adjusting the monitoring frequency according to the user's emotions, more appropriate monitoring becomes possible.
[0099] The adjustment unit can customize the training content based on the user's hobbies and interests when adjusting the user's training. For example, if the user is interested in sports, the training content can be provided using sports-related scenarios. If the user is interested in music, the training content can be provided that includes music-related tasks. Furthermore, if the user is interested in art, the training content can be provided that is related to art. By customizing the training content based on the user's hobbies and interests, motivation can be increased.
[0100] The evaluation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the feedback method based on those emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the evaluation unit can provide feedback in gentle language. If the user is confident, the evaluation unit can provide feedback that includes specific areas for improvement. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the evaluation unit can provide feedback that includes positive reinforcement. By adjusting the feedback method according to the user's emotions, a more effective evaluation can be provided.
[0101] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0102] Step 1: The reception desk receives input from the user to begin training. This input may include, for example, text input, voice input, or multiple-choice input. The reception desk can also input details if the user wishes to receive training to improve specific social skills. Step 2: The generation unit uses a generation AI to generate a training program based on the information received by the reception unit. The generation AI creates individually customized training programs based on past training data and user characteristics. For example, it generates training programs that include simulations of conversations in specific social situations or training in emotion recognition. Step 3: The monitoring unit monitors the user's reactions and progress based on the training program generated by the generation unit. The monitoring unit can measure the user's reaction speed, accuracy rate, progress, etc. Step 4: The adjustment unit adjusts the training content based on the information monitored by the monitoring unit. If the user is having difficulty with a particular task, the adjustment unit can break down the task and provide it in simpler steps. Step 5: The evaluation unit records the user's training results and evaluates their progress based on the training content adjusted by the adjustment unit. The evaluation unit can assess the user's improvement in conversational skills and propose the next training program.

The processing by the data processing system 410 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but it may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, and the robot 414 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.
[0155] The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0156] Furthermore, the emotion identification model 59, acting 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 a specific mapping, which is an emotion map (see Figure 9). Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[0157] Figure 9 shows the emotion map 400, in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.
[0158] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.
[0159] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.
[0160] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, and motorcycles, emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated based, for example, on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0161] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is 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 the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0162] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.
[0163] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.
[0164] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.
[0165] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[0166] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety 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 the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.
[0167] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.
[0168] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of 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). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.
[0169] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.
[0170] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.
[0171] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
