[0028] (Example of form 1) The pharmacy support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that solves various challenges faced by pharmacies and pharmacists by utilizing generative AI. This pharmacy support system trains the generative AI with data such as prescription drugs, dispensing information, and patient medication history to determine dispensing risks and prevent medical errors. It also enables the establishment of unmanned pharmacies using generative AI to alleviate the increased burden caused by pharmacist shortages. Furthermore, it provides medication support services using generative AI to advise patients on drug interactions and dosage methods. For example, the pharmacy support system trains the generative AI with data such as prescription drugs, dispensing information, and patient medication history. Based on this data, the generative AI determines dispensing risks and prevents medical errors. The generative AI analyzes drug interactions and patient allergy information and issues warnings if there are risks. Next, an unmanned pharmacy using generative AI is established. The generative AI has learned data equivalent to that of a pharmacist, analyzes the contents of prescriptions, and dispenses appropriate medications. This reduces the increased burden caused by pharmacist shortages and realizes 24-hour unmanned pharmacies. Furthermore, we will provide a medication support service using AI generation. Based on the patient's medication history and prescribed drug data, the AI will advise on drug interactions and administration methods. When a patient takes multiple medications, the AI will analyze the risk of interactions and suggest appropriate administration methods. In addition, we will open unmanned pharmacies using AI generation in sparsely populated areas and on weekends and at night. The AI generation possesses knowledge equivalent to that of a pharmacist, analyzes the contents of prescriptions, and dispenses the appropriate medications. This will address the demand for dispensing in sparsely populated areas and on weekends and at night, and eliminate disparities in regional healthcare. In this way, the pharmacy support system will solve various challenges faced by pharmacies and pharmacists, preventing medical errors, alleviating pharmacist shortages, reducing the risks to patients taking medications, and addressing the demand for dispensing in sparsely populated areas and on weekends and at night.
[0029] The pharmacy support system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, a judgment unit, a warning unit, and an operation unit. The data collection unit collects data such as prescription drugs, dispensing, and patient medication history. The data collection unit collects, for example, the type of prescription drug, dispensing details, and the contents of the patient's medication history. The data collection unit acquires data from, for example, an electronic medical record system. The data collection unit can also collect patient self-reported data. For example, the data collection unit stores patient-entered medication history information in a database. The judgment unit learns from the data collected by the data collection unit and determines the dispensing risk. The judgment unit determines the dispensing risk based on the collected data, for example, using generative AI. The judgment unit evaluates, for example, the risk of drug interactions and side effects. The judgment unit analyzes, for example, the patient's allergy information and issues a warning if there is a risk. The warning unit issues a warning based on the risk determined by the judgment unit. The warning unit sets, for example, the format of the alert and the notification method. The warning unit sends a warning, for example, via email or SMS. The warning unit displays a warning, for example, through an application. The operations department operates the unmanned pharmacy based on the risks determined by the assessment department. The operations department, for example, learns data equivalent to that of a pharmacist, analyzes the contents of prescriptions, and dispenses appropriate medications. The operations department, for example, sets up methods for storing medications and automated dispensing processes. The operations department operates an unmanned pharmacy that is available 24 hours a day. The operations department opens unmanned pharmacies in sparsely populated areas or on holidays and at night. As a result, the pharmacy support system according to this embodiment can solve various problems faced by pharmacies and pharmacists, prevent medical errors, alleviate pharmacist shortages, reduce patient medication risks, and meet dispensing demand in sparsely populated areas and on holidays and at night.
[0030] The data collection unit collects data on prescription drugs, dispensing, and patient medication history. Specifically, the unit obtains data from the electronic medical record system, collecting information such as the type of prescription drug, dispensing details, and patient medication history. For example, the type of prescription drug includes the drug name, dosage, administration method, and duration of administration. Dispensing details include the date and time of dispensing, pharmacist information, dispensing procedure, and information on the equipment and materials used. The patient's medication history includes a history of previously prescribed medications, allergy information, side effect history, and self-reported health status and lifestyle information. The data collection unit centrally manages this data and stores it in a database. The data collection unit can also store patient-entered medication history information in the database. For example, it can collect medication history information and health status data self-reported by patients via a smartphone app and integrate this into the database. This allows the data collection unit to grasp the patient's latest health status and medication history information in real time and use it to assess dispensing risks. Furthermore, the data collection unit can collect a wider range of data by linking data with external medical institutions and pharmacies. For example, by collecting referral letters and test results from other medical institutions, as well as dispensing history from other pharmacies, a comprehensive database can be built. This allows the data collection department to understand the patient's overall medical history and perform more accurate risk assessments.
[0031] The judgment unit learns from the data collected by the collection unit and determines the dispensing risk. Specifically, the judgment unit uses a generative AI to determine the dispensing risk based on the collected data. The generative AI learns from a large amount of medical data and analyzes drug interactions, the risk of side effects, and patient allergy information. For example, the judgment unit analyzes the collected prescription drug data and evaluates the risk due to drug interactions. It detects side effects and interactions that may occur when specific drugs are administered simultaneously and issues a warning if the risk is high. The judgment unit also analyzes the patient's medication history and evaluates the risk to the current prescription drug based on the history of past side effects and allergic reactions. For example, if a patient has shown an allergic reaction to a specific drug in the past, it will issue a warning when the same drug or a similar drug is prescribed. Furthermore, the judgment unit analyzes the patient's self-reported data and performs a risk assessment based on lifestyle and health status. For example, it considers the patient's self-reported dietary and exercise habits, medical history, etc., to evaluate whether a specific drug is appropriate. As a result, the judgment unit can comprehensively analyze the collected data and determine the dispensing risk with high accuracy.
[0032] The warning unit issues warnings based on the risks determined by the assessment unit. Specifically, the warning unit sets the alert format and notification method, and sends warnings via email or SMS. For example, if a risk due to drug interaction is determined, the warning unit immediately sends a notification to the pharmacist or patient via email or SMS. The warning unit can also display warnings through an application. For example, it can display real-time warnings to patients via a smartphone app to encourage appropriate action. Furthermore, the warning unit can customize the priority and content of warnings. For example, high-risk warnings can be displayed as emergency alerts, while low-risk warnings can be displayed in the notification center, allowing for flexible responses depending on the situation. As a result, the warning unit can provide prompt and appropriate warnings based on the risks determined by the assessment unit, preventing medical errors and ensuring patient safety.
[0033] The operations department will operate the unmanned pharmacies based on the risks determined by the assessment department. Specifically, the operations department will learn data equivalent to that of a pharmacist, analyze the contents of prescriptions, and dispense appropriate medications. For example, the operations department will analyze the contents of prescriptions, identify the necessary types and dosages of medications, and dispense them accurately using automated dispensing equipment. The operations department will also set up drug storage methods and automated dispensing processes to operate 24-hour unmanned pharmacies. For example, by appropriately managing the storage temperature and humidity of medications and automating the dispensing process, they will always provide high-quality dispensing. Furthermore, the operations department will open unmanned pharmacies in sparsely populated areas and on holidays and at night to meet local dispensing needs. For example, unmanned pharmacies installed in sparsely populated areas will provide prompt and appropriate dispensing services to local residents while receiving remote monitoring and support from remote locations. In this way, the operations department can contribute to alleviating the shortage of pharmacists, improving access to medical care in sparsely populated areas, and reducing the risks to patients taking medication.

[0143] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0144] 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.
[0145] 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.
[0146] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific 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 program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The headset terminal 314 also has 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.
[0147] 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.).
[0148] 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 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.
[0149] 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.

The operation unit is implemented in the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and adjusts the operation method of the unmanned pharmacy. 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.
[0152] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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).
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.).
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the data collection unit, judgment unit, warning unit, and operation unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the data collection unit collects data using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414 and processes it with the control unit 46A. The judgment unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and determines the dispensing risk based on the collected data. The warning unit displays a warning using the speaker 240 of the robot 414 and adjusts the way the warning is expressed with the control unit 46A. The operation unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and adjusts the operation method of the unmanned pharmacy. The correspondence between each unit and the devices and control units is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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."
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
