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 having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). 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 Customer Center Employee Stress Reduction System according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for reducing stress among employees working in a customer center and lowering employee turnover. This system utilizes natural language processing (NLP) and sentiment analysis technology, with AI analyzing conversations from a neutral standpoint and intervening in conversations as needed to reduce stress for both customers and employees. For example, the Customer Center Employee Stress Reduction System uses AI to analyze conversations between customers and employees in real time. The AI uses natural language processing technology to understand the content of the conversation and sentiment analysis technology to determine the tone and emotional shifts of the conversation. For example, if a customer is making a complaint unilaterally, the AI detects this situation and makes a neutral statement such as, "Sir / Madam, you have been speaking unilaterally for 10 minutes. Is that a problem?" In this way, the AI intervenes in the conversation from a third-party perspective, providing an opportunity for both the customer and the employee to calm down. Next, the AI records the conversation and accumulates data for later analysis. This makes it possible to understand what situations increase stress and what responses are effective. For example, if certain phrases or tones amplify a customer's anger, this information can be used to improve the employee's response methods. Furthermore, the AI provides real-time support to employees. For example, if a customer is emotional, the AI will advise the employee to "remain calm." This allows employees to respond appropriately without feeling stressed. This system reduces stress for employees working in customer centers and lowers employee turnover. In addition, neutral responses to customers improve customer satisfaction. For example, even if a customer is making a one-sided complaint, the AI's neutral comments can help the customer calm down, enabling a constructive conversation toward problem resolution. Thus, an AI system utilizing natural language processing and sentiment analysis technology has the effect of reducing employee stress in customer centers, lowering employee turnover, and improving customer satisfaction. In summary, a customer center employee stress reduction system can reduce employee stress and lower employee turnover.
[0029] The customer center employee stress reduction system according to this embodiment comprises an analysis unit, an emotion analysis unit, an intervention unit, a recording unit, and a support unit. The analysis unit analyzes conversations between customers and employees in real time. The analysis unit understands the content of conversations using, for example, natural language processing technology. For example, the analysis unit breaks down words in conversations using morphological analysis and analyzes sentence structure using grammatical analysis. The analysis unit can also understand the meaning of conversations using semantic analysis. The emotion analysis unit analyzes the emotions of conversations analyzed by the analysis unit. The emotion analysis unit determines, for example, the tone of conversation and emotional shifts. For example, the emotion analysis unit analyzes the tone of conversation and determines emotional shifts using speech analysis technology. The emotion analysis unit can also estimate emotions from the content of conversations using text analysis technology. The intervention unit intervenes in conversations based on the analysis results obtained by the emotion analysis unit. For example, the intervention unit makes neutral statements when a customer is making unilateral complaints. For example, the intervention unit makes neutral statements such as, "Sir / Madam, you have been speaking unilaterally for 10 minutes. Is that a problem?" The intervention unit can also make statements encouraging the customer to calm down if they are becoming emotional. The recording unit records the data obtained by the analysis unit and the sentiment analysis unit. The recording unit, for example, records conversations and stores the data for later analysis. For example, the recording unit saves the audio and text data of conversations and stores it in a database for later analysis. The support unit provides support to employees based on the results obtained by the sentiment analysis unit and the intervention unit. For example, the support unit advises employees to "remain calm" if the customer is becoming emotional. For example, the support unit provides real-time advice to employees and provides support to take appropriate action. As a result, the customer center employee stress reduction system according to this embodiment can reduce employee stress and lower the turnover rate. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit, sentiment analysis unit, intervention unit, recording unit, and support unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI.For example, the analysis unit can use an AI model employing natural language processing technology to analyze customer-employee conversations in real time. The sentiment analysis unit can use an AI model employing speech analysis technology to determine the tone and emotional shifts in conversations. The intervention unit can use an AI model that generates statements based on sentiment analysis results to intervene in conversations. The recording unit can use a database management system to record conversations and accumulate data. The support unit can use an advice generation AI model to provide real-time advice to employees.
[0030] The analysis unit analyzes customer-employee conversations in real time. For example, it uses natural language processing techniques to understand the content of conversations. Specifically, it uses morphological analysis to break down words in a conversation and grammatical analysis to analyze sentence structure. Morphological analysis breaks down each word in a conversation by part of speech, allowing for a more accurate understanding of sentence meaning. Grammatical analysis analyzes sentence structure, such as subject, predicate, and object, to understand the overall meaning of the sentence. It can also understand the meaning of conversations using semantic analysis. Semantic analysis analyzes the meaning of words and sentences based on context, grasping the intent and emotions behind the conversation. For example, if a customer says, "The product hasn't arrived," the analysis unit can understand from the context that the customer is dissatisfied. Furthermore, the analysis unit tracks the flow of the conversation and changes in topic, allowing it to grasp the overall picture of the conversation. This enables the analysis unit to analyze customer-employee conversations in detail and understand the situation in real time.
[0031] The Sentiment Analysis Department analyzes the emotions of conversations analyzed by the Analysis Department. For example, the Sentiment Analysis Department determines the tone of conversation and emotional shifts. Specifically, it uses speech analysis technology to analyze the tone of conversation and determine emotional shifts. Speech analysis technology analyzes features such as pitch, tempo, and volume of speech to estimate the speaker's emotional state. For example, if a customer's voice is high-pitched and fast, it is determined that the customer is likely angry. It is also possible to estimate emotions from the content of a conversation using text analysis technology. Text analysis technology extracts emotional expressions and keywords from the conversation to determine the type and intensity of the emotion. For example, from an expression such as "I am very dissatisfied," it can be estimated that the customer has strong dissatisfaction. Furthermore, the Sentiment Analysis Department can track changes in the emotions of conversations and grasp fluctuations in the customer's emotional state in real time. As a result, the Sentiment Analysis Department can analyze the emotions of conversations between customers and employees in detail and grasp emotional shifts in real time.
[0032] The intervention team intervenes in conversations based on the analysis results obtained by the emotion analysis team. For example, the intervention team makes neutral remarks when a customer is making a complaint unilaterally. Specifically, if a customer is talking unilaterally for a long time, the intervention team balances the conversation by making neutral remarks such as, "Sir / Madam, you've been talking unilaterally for 10 minutes. Is that a problem?" They can also make remarks to encourage customers to calm down if they are becoming emotional. For example, if a customer is clearly angry, the intervention team may say, "Sir / Madam, could you please speak calmly?" to soothe the customer's emotions. Furthermore, the intervention team can provide employees with advice on how to respond appropriately according to the customer's emotional state. In this way, the intervention team can appropriately intervene in conversations between customers and employees and support the smooth progress of the conversation.
[0033] The recording unit records data obtained by the analysis unit and the sentiment analysis unit. For example, the recording unit records conversations and stores data for later analysis. Specifically, it saves audio and text data of conversations and stores them in a database for later analysis. The audio data records the entire conversation between the customer and the employee, and the text data records a transcript of the conversation. This allows the recording unit to maintain a detailed record of conversations, which can then be used for analysis and training. Furthermore, the recording unit also records conversation metadata (e.g., date and time, participants, conversation topic, etc.), making it easier to search and filter the data. This allows the recording unit to maintain a detailed record of conversations, which can then be used for analysis and improvement.
[0034] The support department provides support to employees based on the results obtained by the emotion analysis and intervention departments. For example, if a customer is emotional, the support department will advise the employee to "remain calm." Specifically, it will display pop-up messages on the employee's screen to provide advice in real time. For example, it may display a message such as "The customer is angry. Please remain calm" to support the employee in taking an appropriate response. The support department can also monitor the employee's stress level and encourage breaks as needed. For example, if an employee is handling a situation for a long time continuously, it may display a message such as "Please take a short break" to reduce the employee's stress. Furthermore, the support department can provide employee training and feedback to support skill improvement. In this way, the support department can provide real-time advice and support to employees, reduce employee stress, and improve work efficiency.
[0035] The intervention unit can make neutral statements when a customer is making a one-sided complaint. For example, if a customer is making a one-sided complaint, the intervention unit might make a neutral statement such as, "Sir / Madam, you have been speaking unilaterally for 10 minutes. Is that a problem?" The intervention unit can also make statements to encourage a customer to calm down if they are becoming emotional. For example, the intervention unit might say, "Sir / Madam, please speak calmly." Furthermore, if a customer is becoming emotional, the intervention unit can advise the employee to "handle the situation calmly." By making neutral statements when a customer is making a one-sided complaint, the intervention unit provides an opportunity for both the customer and the employee to calm down. Some or all of the above processes in the intervention unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the intervention unit could use an AI model that generates statements based on sentiment analysis results to generate neutral statements when a customer is making a one-sided complaint.
[0036] The recording unit can record conversations and store data for later analysis. For example, the recording unit can save audio and text data of conversations and store them in a database for later analysis. For example, the recording unit can record audio data of conversations, convert it to text data, and save it. The recording unit can also directly save text data of conversations. Furthermore, the recording unit can also record conversation metadata (e.g., date and time, participant information, etc.). This allows us to understand what situations increase stress and what responses are effective by recording conversations and accumulating data for later analysis. Some or all of the above processing in the recording unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the recording unit can use an AI model that employs speech recognition technology to record audio data of conversations and convert it to text data.
[0037] The support department can advise employees to "remain calm" when a customer is emotional. For example, the support department can advise employees to "remain calm" when a customer is emotional. The support department can also advise employees to "understand the customer's feelings and respond calmly" when a customer is angry. Furthermore, the support department can advise employees to "respond in a way that reassures the customer" when a customer is anxious. By providing advice to employees when customers are emotional, employees can respond appropriately without feeling stressed. Some or all of the above processes in the support department may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the support department could use an AI model that generates advice based on sentiment analysis results to provide advice to employees when a customer is emotional.
[0038] The sentiment analysis unit can determine the tone and emotional shifts of a conversation.

The sentiment analysis unit can also estimate emotions from the content of a conversation using text analysis technology. For example, the sentiment analysis unit can analyze keywords and phrases in the text to determine emotional shifts. Furthermore, the sentiment analysis unit can determine emotional shifts more accurately by considering the context of the conversation. This allows for an accurate understanding of the emotional shifts of customers and employees by determining the tone and emotional shifts of a conversation. Some or all of the above-described processes in the sentiment analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the sentiment analysis unit can use an AI model that employs speech analysis technology to determine the tone and emotional shifts of a conversation.
[0039] The analysis unit can understand the content of a conversation using natural language processing techniques. For example, the analysis unit can break down the words of the conversation using morphological analysis and analyze the structure of sentences using grammatical analysis. For example, the analysis unit can identify the part of speech of words using morphological analysis and analyze the structure of sentences using grammatical analysis. The analysis unit can also understand the meaning of the conversation using semantic analysis. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the meaning of sentences using semantic analysis and understand the content of the conversation. In this way, by understanding the content of a conversation using natural language processing techniques, the content of the conversation can be accurately analyzed. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can understand the content of a conversation using an AI model that employs natural language processing techniques.

[0067] (Example of form 2) The Customer Center Employee Stress Reduction System according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for reducing stress among employees working in a customer center and lowering employee turnover. This system utilizes natural language processing (NLP) and sentiment analysis technology, with AI analyzing conversations from a neutral standpoint and intervening in conversations as needed to reduce stress for both customers and employees. For example, the Customer Center Employee Stress Reduction System uses AI to analyze conversations between customers and employees in real time. The AI uses natural language processing technology to understand the content of the conversation and sentiment analysis technology to determine the tone and emotional shifts of the conversation. For example, if a customer is making a complaint unilaterally, the AI detects this situation and makes a neutral statement such as, "Sir / Madam, you have been speaking unilaterally for 10 minutes. Is that a problem?" In this way, the AI intervenes in the conversation from a third-party perspective, providing an opportunity for both the customer and the employee to calm down. Next, the AI records the conversation and accumulates data for later analysis. This makes it possible to understand what situations increase stress and what responses are effective. For example, if certain phrases or tones amplify a customer's anger, this information can be used to improve the employee's response methods. Furthermore, the AI provides real-time support to employees. For example, if a customer is emotional, the AI will advise the employee to "remain calm." This allows employees to respond appropriately without feeling stressed. This system reduces stress for employees working in customer centers and lowers employee turnover. In addition, neutral responses to customers improve customer satisfaction. For example, even if a customer is making a one-sided complaint, the AI's neutral comments can help the customer calm down, enabling a constructive conversation toward problem resolution. Thus, an AI system utilizing natural language processing and sentiment analysis technology has the effect of reducing employee stress in customer centers, lowering employee turnover, and improving customer satisfaction. In summary, a customer center employee stress reduction system can reduce employee stress and lower employee turnover.
[0068] The customer center employee stress reduction system according to this embodiment comprises an analysis unit, an emotion analysis unit, an intervention unit, a recording unit, and a support unit. The analysis unit analyzes conversations between customers and employees in real time.

The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart glasses 214 also have a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0137] 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.).
[0138] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 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.
[0139] 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.

[0158] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0159] As shown in Figure 7, the data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0160] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32.

[0162] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.
[0163] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0164] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.

[0169] 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.

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.
[0170] 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.).
[0171] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the 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.
[0172] 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).

[0173] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is 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.
[0174] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the analysis unit, sentiment analysis unit, intervention unit, recording unit, and support unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the analysis unit is implemented by the processor 46 of the robot 414 and analyzes the conversation between the customer and the employee in real time. The sentiment analysis unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and determines the tone and emotional shifts of the conversation. The intervention unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and makes neutral statements when the customer is making a complaint unilaterally. The recording unit stores the conversation record in the database 24 of the data processing unit 12. The support unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides advice to the employee in real time. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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."
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
