[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure. The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0025] 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.

[0026] In the smart device 14, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60.

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 schedule management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that realizes efficient schedule management in conjunction with a calendar service. This system not only provides a simple schedule sharing function with family, colleagues, and friends, but also accepts special coupon offers from restaurants, hair salons, hotels, etc. through automated negotiation using a generation AI. The automated negotiation using the generation AI proposes coupon offers that are effective in attracting customers, taking into account the number of users with free schedules in the surrounding area, based on weather data to predict the number of customers based on the weather. First, the user uses the calendar service to share schedules with family, colleagues, and friends. For example, family schedules can be integrated into one calendar so that everyone can easily check them. This makes scheduling smoother and reduces unnecessary communication. Next, the automated negotiation function using the generation AI is activated. For example, if a user wants to make a reservation at a restaurant on a specific date and time, the generation AI automatically negotiates with the restaurant and offers a special coupon. In this case, the generation AI uses weather data to predict the number of customers based on the weather. For example, since fewer customers are expected on rainy days, restaurants can offer special discount coupons. Furthermore, the generation AI also takes into account the number of users with free schedules in the surrounding area and proposes coupon offers that are effective in attracting customers. For example, if many users have free time in their schedules at a specific date and time, offering special coupons during that time slot can efficiently attract customers. This system allows users to efficiently manage their schedules and receive special coupons. Businesses such as restaurants, hair salons, and hotels can also efficiently attract customers and maximize their revenue. For example, a restaurant can increase its customer base by offering special coupons during off-peak hours. In this way, by integrating with a calendar service and utilizing an automated negotiation function powered by AI, a highly convenient system is provided for both users and businesses. As a result, the schedule management system can streamline users' schedule management and offer special coupons.

[0029] The schedule management system according to this embodiment comprises a schedule collection unit, a sharing unit, a negotiation unit, and a coupon provision unit. The schedule collection unit collects schedule information. Schedule information includes, but is not limited to, the date and time, location, and type of event. The schedule collection unit obtains schedule information from, for example, a calendar service. The schedule collection unit can also collect schedule information manually entered by users. For example, the schedule collection unit collects schedule information entered by users using a smartphone or personal computer. Furthermore, the schedule collection unit can also collect schedule information from other applications and services. For example, the schedule collection unit obtains schedule information from email applications and messaging applications.

Specifically, when adjusting the schedule of an outdoor event, it proposes the optimal date and time considering weather data. Furthermore, the negotiation department can learn the user's past schedule history and behavior patterns to generate more accurate negotiation content. This allows the negotiation department to reduce the burden on the user and achieve efficient schedule adjustments.

[0033] The coupon distribution department provides coupons obtained by the negotiation department. The coupon distribution department, for example, notifies users of coupons. Specifically, it sends notifications to users' smartphones or personal computers to encourage coupon use. The coupon distribution department can also provide coupons via email or messaging applications. For example, it sends coupons to users' email addresses or messaging application accounts. This allows users to easily receive and use coupons. Furthermore, the coupon distribution department can provide coupons at the optimal time based on users' schedule information and behavioral patterns. For example, it can provide coupons related to a specific event before a user participates in that event. This allows the coupon distribution department to improve user convenience and increase coupon utilization rates. The coupon distribution department can also track coupon usage and collect data to develop effective coupon distribution strategies. This enables the coupon distribution department to provide valuable coupons to users and maximize the overall system's effectiveness.

[0034] The weather analysis unit can analyze weather data. For example, the weather analysis unit analyzes weather data such as temperature, precipitation, and wind speed.

For example, the weather analysis unit can input weather data obtained from a weather database into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform customer number predictions.

[0036] The negotiation department can conduct automated negotiations based on customer count forecasts obtained by the weather analysis department. The negotiation department can conduct automated negotiations using, for example, a generative AI. The generative AI can conduct automated negotiations using, for example, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM). The negotiation department negotiates for the provision of coupons at specific dates and times based on customer count forecasts obtained by the weather analysis department. For example, the negotiation department negotiates with restaurants, hair salons, hotels, etc., on days and times when the weather analysis department predicts low customer counts, and proposes that they provide special coupons. This makes it possible to provide coupons more effectively by conducting automated negotiations based on customer count forecasts. Some or all of the above processing in the negotiation department may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without using a generative AI. For example, the negotiation department can input customer count forecasts obtained by the weather analysis department into a generative AI and have the generative AI perform automated negotiations.

[0037] The coupon provider unit can notify users of coupons obtained by the negotiation unit. The coupon provider unit can notify users of coupons, for example, via email or messaging applications.

Step 4: The coupon provider provides the coupons obtained by the negotiation team. The coupon provider notifies users of the coupons and can also provide them via email or messaging applications. For example, they can send the coupons to the user's email address or messaging application account.

[0067] (Example of form 2) The schedule management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that realizes efficient schedule management in conjunction with a calendar service. This system not only provides a simple schedule sharing function with family, colleagues, and friends, but also accepts special coupon offers from restaurants, hair salons, hotels, etc. through automated negotiation using a generation AI. The automated negotiation using the generation AI proposes coupon offers that are effective in attracting customers, taking into account the number of users with free schedules in the surrounding area, based on weather data to predict the number of customers based on the weather. First, the user uses the calendar service to share schedules with family, colleagues, and friends. For example, family schedules can be integrated into one calendar so that everyone can easily check them. This makes scheduling smoother and reduces unnecessary communication. Next, the automated negotiation function using the generation AI is activated. For example, if a user wants to make a reservation at a restaurant on a specific date and time, the generation AI automatically negotiates with the restaurant and offers a special coupon. In this case, the generation AI uses weather data to predict the number of customers based on the weather. For example, since fewer customers are expected on rainy days, restaurants can offer special discount coupons. Furthermore, the generation AI also takes into account the number of users with free schedules in the surrounding area and proposes coupon offers that are effective in attracting customers. For example, if many users have free time in their schedules at a specific date and time, offering special coupons during that time slot can efficiently attract customers. This system allows users to efficiently manage their schedules and receive special coupons. Businesses such as restaurants, hair salons, and hotels can also efficiently attract customers and maximize their revenue. For example, a restaurant can increase its customer base by offering special coupons during off-peak hours. In this way, by integrating with a calendar service and utilizing an automated negotiation function powered by AI, a highly convenient system is provided for both users and businesses. As a result, the schedule management system can streamline users' schedule management and offer special coupons.

[0108] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0109] The schedule management system can also collect user health data and use it to optimize schedules. For example, it can collect user sleep data and adjust schedules to avoid important meetings or tasks when the user is sleep-deprived. It can also incorporate exercise into the schedule when the user is inactive, based on their exercise data. Furthermore, it can collect user meal data and adjust schedules to match meal times. This enables schedule management tailored to the user's health condition.

[0110] The schedule management system can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust schedule reminders based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, reminder notifications will be less frequent. If the user is relaxed, detailed reminders will be provided. If the user is busy, only important reminders will be prioritized. This allows for reminder adjustments based on the user's emotions, resulting in more effective schedule management.

[0111] The schedule management system can further suggest schedules based on the user's hobbies and interests. For example, if a user is interested in music, it can suggest nearby concerts and live events in their schedule. If a user is interested in sports, it can suggest nearby sporting events and matches. If a user is interested in art, it can suggest exhibition information at museums and galleries in their schedule. This makes it possible to suggest schedules that are tailored to the user's hobbies and interests.

[0112] The schedule management system can further estimate the user's emotions and adjust schedule priorities based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, high-priority tasks are prioritized in the schedule. If the user is relaxed, detailed tasks are scheduled. If the user is busy, urgent tasks are scheduled first. This allows for schedule prioritization according to the user's emotions, resulting in more efficient schedule management.

[0113] The schedule management system can further utilize the user's geographical location to suggest the optimal schedule. For example, it can suggest nearby cafes and restaurants based on the user's current location. It can also suggest a schedule that takes travel time into account based on the user's planned destinations. If the user is traveling, it can suggest tourist attractions and event information in their destination. This enables the suggestion of the optimal schedule based on the user's geographical location.

[0114] The schedule management system can further estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way schedule notifications are delivered based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, notifications will be less frequent. If the user is relaxed, detailed notifications will be provided. If the user is busy, only important notifications will be prioritized. This allows for adjustments to notification methods according to the user's emotions, resulting in more effective schedule management.

[0115] The schedule management system can further analyze the user's past schedule history and provide optimal schedule suggestions. For example, it can prioritize suggesting schedule patterns that the user has frequently used in the past. It can concentrate schedules into specific time slots based on the user's past schedule history. By analyzing the user's past schedule history, it can provide the most efficient schedule suggestions. In this way, by analyzing past schedule history, it becomes possible to provide optimal schedule suggestions.

[0116] The schedule management system can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of schedule reminders based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the reminder timing can be delayed. If the user is relaxed, the reminder timing can be brought forward. If the user is busy, only important reminders will be prioritized. This allows for reminder timing adjustments in response to the user's emotions, resulting in more effective schedule management.

[0117] The schedule management system can further analyze users' social media activity and suggest relevant schedules. For example, it can suggest events and appointments mentioned by users on social media. It can suggest events of interest based on users' social media activity. It can analyze users' social media posts and suggest relevant schedules. In this way, it becomes possible to suggest relevant schedules by analyzing social media activity.

[0118] The schedule management system can further estimate the user's emotions and prioritize schedules based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it will prioritize collecting high-priority schedules. If the user is relaxed, it will collect detailed schedules and adjust their priorities. If the user is busy, it will prioritize collecting urgent schedules. This allows for the prioritization of important schedules by determining schedule priorities according to the user's emotions.

[0119] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0120] Step 1: The schedule collection unit collects schedule information. This information includes the date and time, location, and type of event.

The sharing unit can share schedule information within groups such as family, colleagues, and friends, as well as with specific users. The sharing unit also synchronizes schedule information with calendar services. Step 3: The negotiation department conducts automated negotiations based on the schedule information shared by the sharing department. The negotiation department can use generative AI (e.g., text generation AI) to conduct automated negotiations, or it can predict the number of customers based on weather data and conduct automated negotiations based on that prediction. Step 4: The coupon provider provides the coupons obtained by the negotiation team. The coupon provider notifies users of the coupons and can also provide them via email or messaging applications. For example, they can send the coupons to the user's email address or messaging application account.

[0152] 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.).

[0153] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 to output the result of the specific processing.

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.

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.

[0157] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.

[0160] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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).

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.).

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the schedule collection unit, sharing unit, negotiation unit, coupon provision unit, and weather analysis unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the schedule collection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and acquires schedule information from a calendar service. The sharing unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and shares schedule information with family and colleagues. The negotiation unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and performs automated negotiation using a generating AI. The coupon provision unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and notifies the user of coupons. The weather analysis unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes weather data. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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."

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] The descriptions and illustrations presented above are detailed explanations of the technical aspects of this disclosure and are merely examples of the technical aspects. 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.
