[0028] (Example of form 1) The AI ​​assistant document search support tool using natural language processing according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes the user's query and searches for relevant documents and information at high speed. This system has a mechanism in which the user inputs a query, the AI ​​assistant analyzes the query, and provides contextually relevant search results using semantic search. For example, if the user inputs a query such as "Please tell me about papers on the latest AI technology," the AI ​​assistant analyzes the query and extracts relevant keywords and context. Next, the AI ​​assistant uses semantic search to search for relevant documents and information at high speed. Semantic search is a technique that searches for highly relevant information based on context, rather than simply keyword searching. For example, when searching for "papers on the latest AI technology," the AI ​​assistant selects relevant papers and articles based on context and provides them as search results. This mechanism allows the user to obtain the necessary information quickly and accurately. Furthermore, the AI ​​assistant can continuously learn and improve in order to provide appropriate search results for the user's query. For example, by providing feedback on a particular search result, the AI ​​assistant can learn from that feedback and improve the accuracy of future search results. In this way, the AI ​​assistant document search support tool, which utilizes natural language processing, analyzes the user's queries and searches for relevant documents and information at high speed, enabling the user to quickly and accurately obtain the information they need. This allows the AI ​​assistant document search support tool, which utilizes natural language processing, to analyze the user's queries, search for relevant documents and information at high speed, and provide contextually relevant search results.

[0029] The AI ​​assistant document search support tool using natural language processing according to this embodiment comprises an analysis unit, a search unit, and a provision unit. The analysis unit analyzes the user's query. The analysis unit understands the meaning of the query using, for example, natural language processing technology and extracts relevant keywords and context. For example, the analysis unit can extract keywords such as "latest AI technology" and "papers" from the query. The analysis unit can also understand the context of the query and extract relevant information. The search unit provides contextually relevant search results using semantic search based on the query analyzed by the analysis unit. The search unit uses, for example, semantic search technology to quickly search for relevant documents and information. For example, the search unit can select relevant papers and articles based on the query and context and provide them as search results. The provision unit provides the search results provided by the search unit to the user. The provision unit can, for example, display the search results through a web page or mobile application. The provision unit can also send the search results via email. As a result, the AI ​​assistant document search support tool using natural language processing according to the embodiment can analyze the user's query, quickly search for relevant documents and information, and provide contextually relevant search results. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit, search unit, and provision unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI.

For example, the analysis unit uses natural language processing technology to understand the meaning of the query and extract relevant keywords and context. Specifically, the analysis unit tokenizes the query and performs morphological analysis to identify the part of speech and meaning of each word. Furthermore, to understand the context, it performs sentence structure analysis to clarify the relationships between subjects, predicates, objects, etc. For example, in response to the query "I am looking for papers on the latest AI technology," the analysis unit extracts keywords such as "latest," "AI technology," and "papers," and understands how these keywords are related. In addition, to understand the intent of the query, the analysis unit performs contextual analysis to identify the type and scope of information the user is seeking. For example, if the user is looking for "papers" on "the latest AI technology," the analysis unit can instruct it to prioritize searching for papers on the latest research results and technological trends. Furthermore, the analysis unit can perform more accurate analysis by referring to past queries and search history and learning the user's search patterns and interests. This allows the analysis unit to accurately understand the user's query and extract relevant keywords and context, thereby providing appropriate instructions to the search unit.

[0031] The search unit provides contextually relevant search results using semantic search based on queries analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the search unit uses semantic search techniques to quickly search for relevant documents and information. Specifically, the search unit searches for documents within the database based on keywords and contextual information provided by the analysis unit. Semantic search techniques go beyond simple keyword matching, considering context and meaning to identify highly relevant documents. For example, in response to the query "papers on the latest AI technology," the search unit prioritizes searching for the latest research papers and technical reports on AI technology, selecting the most relevant documents. The search unit also ranks the search results, displaying the most relevant documents at the top. Factors such as document content, publication date, and citation count are considered in the ranking. Furthermore, the search unit can provide the latest information by utilizing a real-time updated database. For example, if newly published papers or articles are added to the database, the search unit can immediately reflect this information in the search results. This allows the search unit to quickly and accurately search for relevant documents and information based on the user's query, providing contextually relevant search results.

[0032] The service provider provides users with the search results provided by the search unit. The service provider can, for example, display search results through web pages or mobile applications.

[0063] (Example of form 2) The AI ​​assistant document search support tool using natural language processing according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes the user's query and searches for relevant documents and information at high speed. This system has a mechanism in which the user inputs a query, the AI ​​assistant analyzes the query, and provides contextually relevant search results using semantic search. For example, if the user inputs a query such as "Please tell me about papers on the latest AI technology," the AI ​​assistant analyzes the query and extracts relevant keywords and context. Next, the AI ​​assistant uses semantic search to search for relevant documents and information at high speed. Semantic search is a technique that searches for highly relevant information based on context, rather than simply keyword searching. For example, when searching for "papers on the latest AI technology," the AI ​​assistant selects relevant papers and articles based on context and provides them as search results. This mechanism allows the user to obtain the necessary information quickly and accurately. Furthermore, the AI ​​assistant can continuously learn and improve in order to provide appropriate search results for the user's query. For example, by providing feedback on a particular search result, the AI ​​assistant can learn from that feedback and improve the accuracy of future search results. In this way, the AI ​​assistant document search support tool, which utilizes natural language processing, analyzes the user's queries and searches for relevant documents and information at high speed, enabling the user to quickly and accurately obtain the information they need. This allows the AI ​​assistant document search support tool, which utilizes natural language processing, to analyze the user's queries, search for relevant documents and information at high speed, and provide contextually relevant search results.

Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the optimization unit may be performed using AI or not using AI. For example, the optimization unit can input user emotion data into an AI, which can estimate the emotions and determine optimization priorities.

[0098] The optimization unit can perform optimization while considering the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the optimization unit will prioritize optimizing information related to that region. The optimization unit can also prioritize providing nearby information based on the user's current location. Furthermore, if the user is traveling, the optimization unit can prioritize optimizing information related to the travel destination. In this way, by considering geographical location information, highly relevant information can be provided. Some or all of the above processing in the optimization unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the optimization unit can input the user's geographical location information into AI, and the AI ​​can prioritize optimizing information with high relevance.

[0099] The optimization unit can analyze the user's social media activity and optimize relevant information during the optimization process. For example, the optimization unit can reflect keywords frequently used by the user on social media in the optimization. The optimization unit can also prioritize and optimize relevant information based on the user's interests on social media. Furthermore, the optimization unit can analyze the user's social media activity history and optimize the most relevant information. This allows the system to provide highly relevant information by analyzing social media activity. Some or all of the above-described processes in the optimization unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the optimization unit can input the user's social media activity into AI, which can then optimize the relevant information.

[0100] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0101] The analysis unit can also analyze the user's voice input when analyzing the user's queries. For example, if the user says, "Please tell me about papers on the latest AI technology," the analysis unit will use speech recognition technology to convert the voice into text and analyze the query based on that text. The analysis unit can also estimate the user's emotions from the intonation and speed of the voice input and adjust the analysis method based on those emotions. For example, if the user is in a hurry, it can perform a concise analysis and provide results quickly. In this way, analyzing voice input improves user convenience.

[0102] The search function can provide relevant images and videos as search results in response to the user's query. For example, if a user searches for "papers on the latest AI technology," the search function will provide not only relevant papers but also relevant images and videos as search results. Furthermore, the search function can reflect the user's click history on images and videos in future search results. In addition, the search function can analyze the user's past search history and prioritize displaying highly relevant images and videos. This diversifies the information users can obtain by providing search results that include images and videos.

[0103] The service provider can adjust the display method of search results according to the type of device the user is using. For example, if the user is using a smartphone, the service provider can adopt a mobile-friendly display method to improve visibility. If the user is using a tablet, the service provider can adopt a display method suitable for a large screen to improve the readability of the information. Furthermore, if the user is using a desktop computer, the service provider can adopt a display method that includes detailed information. By providing a display method tailored to the device, the service provider improves user convenience.

[0104] The analysis unit can adjust its analysis method to account for the user's input speed and method when analyzing the user's query. For example, if the user is typing quickly, the analysis unit will perform a rapid analysis and provide results quickly. Conversely, if the user is typing slowly, the analysis unit can perform a more detailed analysis and provide more relevant information. Furthermore, if the user is using voice input, the analysis unit can use speech recognition technology to convert the speech into text and analyze the query based on that text. This improves user convenience by providing an analysis method tailored to the user's input speed and method.

[0105] The search function can provide relevant news articles as search results for the user's query. For example, if a user searches for "papers on the latest AI technology," the search function will provide not only relevant papers but also relevant news articles as search results. Furthermore, the search function can reflect the user's click history on news articles in future search results. In addition, the search function can analyze the user's past search history and prioritize displaying highly relevant news articles. By providing search results that include news articles, the information users can obtain becomes more diverse.

[0106] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the query analysis method based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it can employ a concise analysis method to provide results quickly. If the user is relaxed, it can perform a detailed analysis to provide more relevant information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can focus the analysis on the most important keywords. In this way, by adjusting the query analysis method according to the user's emotions, more appropriate analysis results can be provided.

[0107] The search engine can estimate the user's emotions when providing search results and adjust the display method based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it can provide a concise and easily readable display. If the user is relaxed, it can provide a display method that includes detailed information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can provide a display method that gets straight to the point. By adjusting the display method of search results according to the user's emotions, it is possible to provide more appropriate information.

[0108] The learning unit can estimate the user's emotions and select training data based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it will prioritize learning concise and easy-to-understand data. If the user is relaxed, it can learn detailed data to provide a broad range of knowledge. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can prioritize learning the most important data. This allows for more appropriate learning by selecting training data according to the user's emotions.

[0109] The optimization unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the optimization algorithm based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it can use a concise and rapid optimization algorithm. If the user is relaxed, it can use an optimization algorithm that includes detailed information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can use an optimization algorithm that prioritizes displaying the most relevant information. By adjusting the optimization algorithm according to the user's emotions, more appropriate optimization can be achieved.

[0110] The service provider can optimize its search result delivery method by referring to users' past feedback. For example, it can select the optimal delivery method based on search results that users have previously rated. Furthermore, the service provider can analyze users' past feedback and improve its delivery method. In addition, it can select the optimal delivery method by referring to how users have previously displayed search results. This allows for optimization of the delivery method by referencing past feedback.

[0111] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0112] Step 1: The analysis unit analyzes the user's query. The analysis unit uses natural language processing technology to understand the meaning of the query and extract relevant keywords and context. For example, the analysis unit can extract keywords such as "latest AI technology" and "papers" from the query. It can also understand the context of the query and extract relevant information. Step 2: The search unit provides contextually relevant search results using semantic search based on the query analyzed by the analysis unit. The search unit uses semantic search technology to quickly search for relevant documents and information. For example, it can select relevant papers and articles based on the query and provide them as search results. Step 3: The service provider provides the user with the search results provided by the search unit. The service provider can display the search results through a web page or mobile application. It can also send the search results via email.

[0113] 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 user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating 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.

[0114] Data generation model 58 is a form of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of generative AI include text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and with inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats from audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, 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), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each of the above parts is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI ​​in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example.Furthermore, processing performed by AI, including generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by AI, including generative AI.

[0115] Furthermore, the processing performed by the data processing system 10 described above is carried out by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the smart device 14, but it may also be carried out by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the smart device 14.

Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.

[0156] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0157] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0158] The processor 28 reads a 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 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0159] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the 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 the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.

[0160] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.

[0161] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also 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 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).

[0162] 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 controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0163] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a 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 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 infers from the input inference data according to the instructions indicated by the prompts, and outputs the inference result in one or more data formats such as audio data, text data, and image data. The data generation model 58 includes, for example, text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The specific processing unit 290 performs the specific processing described above using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model that outputs inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions, in which case the data generation model 58 can output inference results from prompts that do not contain instructions. In the data processing device 12, etc., there are multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than generative AI. AI other than generative AI includes, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), generative adversarial networks (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. Also, the AI ​​may be an AI agent. Furthermore, when the processing of each part described above is performed by the AI, the processing may be performed by the AI ​​in part or in whole, but is not limited to this example. Also, processing performed by an AI including a generative AI may be replaced by rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced by processing performed by an AI including a generative AI.

[0164] 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 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.

[0165] For example, the analysis unit is implemented by the processor 46 of the robot 414 or the processor 28 of the data processing unit 12. For example, the search unit is implemented by the processor 46 of the robot 414 or the processor 28 of the data processing unit 12. For example, the providing unit is implemented via the speaker 240 of the robot 414 or the communication I / F 26 of the data processing unit 12. For example, the learning unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. For example, the optimization unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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."

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. 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.
