[0015] In the following embodiments, "A and / or B" is synonymous with "at least one of A and B". That is, "A and / or B" means that it may be only A, only B, or a combination of A and B. Also, in this specification, when expressing three or more matters connected by "and / or", the same concept as "A and / or B" is applied.

[0016] [First Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of a data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. <​​​​​​​​​​The smart device 14 comprises a computer 36, a receiving device 38, an output device 40, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. The computer 36 comprises a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The receiving device 38, output device 40, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0020] The reception device 38 is equipped with a touch panel 38A and a microphone 38B, and accepts user input. The touch panel 38A accepts user input via touch by detecting contact with an object (e.g., a pen or finger). The microphone 38B accepts user input via voice by detecting the user's voice. The control unit 46A transmits data indicating the user input received by the touch panel 38A and microphone 38B to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 (see Figure 2) acquires the data indicating the user input.

[0021] The output device 40 includes a display 40A and a speaker 40B, and presents data to the user by outputting the data in a form perceptible to the user (e.g., audio and / or text).

[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. The specific processing program 60 is used in conjunction with the specific processing program 56 by the data processing system 10. 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.

[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) 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 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 budget application generation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that shortens the time to budget approval by utilizing a generation AI. The budget application generation system uses past budget applications as training data and learns whether or not a budget can be obtained and what the rejection points are. The budget application generation system receives the outline of a new project as input and outputs a draft budget application. This reduces the time lag from proposal to project launch and enables smooth budget approval. For example, the budget application generation system collects past budget applications as training data, and the generation AI learns from this. At this time, it also learns whether or not a budget can be obtained and what the rejection points are. Next, the budget application generation system receives the outline of a new project as input. For example, this includes information such as project name, responsible department, start date, budget, users, fees, and service overview. Based on this input information, the generation AI generates a draft budget application. The generated draft budget application also points out any deficiencies in the input information based on past budget approval results. For example, issues may be pointed out if the evidence for return on investment is weak or if the feasibility of systemization is not sufficiently considered. This allows applicants to supplement these shortcomings and create budget applications that are more likely to be approved. As a result, budget applications will be submitted more quickly, reducing the time lag from proposal to project launch. Furthermore, the creation of drafts and simplified reviews by the generation AI will shorten the time to budget approval, enabling smoother budget approval. In this way, the budget application generation system can automate the generation and critique of budget applications, shortening the time to budget approval.

Furthermore, the generation unit has a function to check the consistency and coherence of the generated budget application forms and make corrections as needed. This allows the generation unit to generate budget application forms quickly and accurately, reducing the burden on users. In addition, the generation unit provides users with a preview of the generated budget application form and an interface for making necessary corrections and additions.

[0034] The feedback unit identifies deficiencies in input information based on the budget application generated by the generation unit. For example, the feedback unit can identify missing required fields or inconsistencies in information. Specifically, it analyzes the generated budget application and checks whether all required fields are filled in and whether the information is consistent. The feedback unit can also use AI to automatically identify deficiencies in input information. The AI ​​uses rule-based algorithms and machine learning models to verify the content of the budget application and identify missing information or inconsistent data. For example, the AI ​​checks whether budget items are properly listed and whether amounts are calculated accurately, and notifies the user if there are problems. Furthermore, the feedback unit provides users with specific correction instructions and advice to help improve the quality of the budget application. This allows the feedback unit to improve the quality of budget applications and streamline the approval process. In addition, based on past feedback history, the feedback unit can analyze common problems and areas for improvement, continuously improving the accuracy and efficiency of the entire system.

By adjusting priorities according to submission dates, the feedback unit can provide feedback efficiently. This enables efficient feedback by providing feedback based on submission dates. Some or all of the above processing in the feedback unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the feedback unit can input the submission dates of project summaries into a generating AI and have the generating AI determine the priority of identifying deficiencies.

[0099] The feedback function can improve the accuracy of its feedback by referring to relevant information in the project overview when providing feedback. For example, the feedback function can improve the accuracy of its feedback by referring to information related to the project overview. The feedback function can improve the accuracy of its feedback by referring to past data related to the project overview. The feedback function can improve the accuracy of its feedback by referring to literature related to the project overview. By improving the accuracy of feedback by referring to relevant information, more accurate feedback becomes possible. Some or all of the above processing in the feedback function may be performed using AI or not. For example, the feedback function can input relevant information from the project overview into a generating AI and have the generating AI select information to improve the accuracy of the feedback.

[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 budget application generation system also includes a notification unit. The notification unit can notify relevant parties of the draft budget application and any issues pointed out. For example, the notification unit can send the draft budget application to relevant parties via email or chat tools. The notification unit can also notify relevant parties of any shortcomings pointed out by the issues unit and encourage them to make corrections. The notification unit can also notify relevant parties of the progress of the budget application in real time, enabling smooth communication. This facilitates information sharing among stakeholders and allows for quick revisions and approvals of the budget application.

[0102] The budget application generation system also includes an analysis unit. This unit analyzes the data from the generated budget applications and can predict the success rate of budget approval. For example, the analysis unit scores the success rate of the generated budget applications based on past budget application data. It can also analyze the content and structure of the budget applications and suggest improvements to increase the success rate. Before the budget application is submitted, the analysis unit can predict the success rate and provide feedback to the applicant. This allows applicants to improve the quality of their budget applications and increase their chances of approval.

[0103] The budget application generation system also includes an archiving section. The archiving section can save generated budget applications and their comments for later reference. For example, the archiving section can classify and save generated budget applications by project or year. The archiving section also saves deficiencies and correction history pointed out by the comments section for later reference. The archiving section can search past budget applications and comments and provide them as reference information for similar cases. This allows for effective use of past data to aid in the creation and revision of budget applications.

[0104] The budget application generation system also includes a feedback unit. The feedback unit collects feedback from stakeholders on the generated budget applications and uses this feedback to improve the system. For example, the feedback unit collects stakeholders' evaluations and comments on the generated budget applications. The feedback unit can also collect stakeholders' opinions on shortcomings pointed out by the feedback unit and incorporate them into system improvements. Furthermore, the feedback unit can survey stakeholders' satisfaction with the budget application generation process and identify areas for system improvement. This enables system improvements that reflect stakeholder feedback, thereby improving the quality of budget applications.

[0105] The budget request generation system also includes a customization section. This section allows users to customize budget request templates and generation methods according to their needs. For example, the customization section creates budget request templates based on user-specified formats and items. It can also propose the optimal generation method based on the user's industry and business operations. Based on user feedback, the customization section can adjust the budget request generation process to provide a more user-friendly system. This enables flexible budget request generation tailored to user needs, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0106] The budget request generation system also includes an emotion estimation unit. This unit estimates the user's emotions and adjusts the budget request generation process based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the emotion estimation unit generates a simple and easy-to-understand budget request. If the user is relaxed, the emotion estimation unit can generate a detailed and complex budget request. If the user is in a hurry, the emotion estimation unit can create a budget request that can be generated quickly. This reduces the user's burden by adjusting the generation process according to their emotions.

[0107] The budget request generation system also includes an emotional feedback unit. This unit collects user feedback on the generated budget requests and uses it to improve the system. For example, it collects user satisfaction and dissatisfaction with the generated budget requests. It also collects user feedback on shortcomings pointed out by the feedback unit and incorporates this feedback into system improvements. The emotional feedback unit investigates user feelings towards the budget request generation process and identifies areas for system improvement. This allows for system improvements that reflect user sentiment, thereby improving the quality of budget requests.

[0108] The budget request generation system also includes an emotion analysis unit. This unit analyzes the user's emotions and reflects them in the budget request generation process. For example, it collects user emotion data and analyzes stress levels and satisfaction levels. Based on the analysis results, the unit can adjust the budget request generation method and feedback methods. The emotion analysis unit optimizes the budget request generation process according to the user's emotions, reducing the user's burden. This enables the generation of budget requests that take user emotions into consideration, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0109] The budget application generation system also includes an emotion monitoring unit. This unit can monitor the user's emotions in real time and reflect them in the budget application generation process. For example, it analyzes the user's facial expressions and voice data in real time to estimate their emotions. Based on the estimated emotions, the unit can adjust the budget application generation method and feedback methods in real time. The emotion monitoring unit optimizes the budget application generation process according to the user's emotions, reducing the user's burden. This enables the generation of budget applications that reflect the user's emotions in real time, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0110] The budget application generation system further includes an emotion-adaptive unit. This unit can provide a budget application generation process that adapts to the user's emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it provides a simple and easy-to-understand interface. If the user is relaxed, it can provide detailed input options and suggest a customizable generation process. If the user is in a hurry, it can prioritize voice input to enable rapid budget application generation. This reduces the user's burden by providing a budget application generation process that adapts to their emotions.

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

[0112] Step 1: The collection unit collects past budget requests. The collection unit can collect budget requests in various formats and types, such as by year, project, or department, and can do so automatically using AI. Step 2: The learning unit learns from the budget requests collected by the collection unit. The learning unit uses machine learning algorithms to learn whether or not a budget can be obtained and what the rejection points are, and can use AI to learn from budget requests. Step 3: The reception department receives the project outline for new proposals. The reception department receives information such as the project name, responsible department, start date, budget, users, fees, and service overview, and can automatically process the information using AI. Step 4: The generation unit generates a budget application form based on the case summary received by the reception unit. The generation unit can perform template-based generation or automated generation using AI, and can generate the budget application form using the generation AI. Step 5: The feedback unit identifies deficiencies in the input information based on the budget request form generated by the generation unit. The feedback unit can identify missing required items, inconsistencies in information, etc., and can automatically identify these issues using AI.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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).

[0155] 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.

[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] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, learning unit, reception unit, generation unit, and identification unit, is implemented, for example, in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit collects past budget applications using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414 and performs the collection process using the control unit 46A. The learning unit is implemented, for example, in the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and learns from the collected budget applications. The reception unit is implemented, for example, in the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and receives the outline of a new proposal. The generation unit is implemented, for example, in the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and generates a budget application based on the outline of the application received by the reception unit. The identification unit is implemented, for example, in the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and points out any deficiencies in the input information based on the generated budget application. 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.

[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.

[0182] 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.
