[0028] (Example of form 1) The circuit design automation system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that automatically generates an optimal circuit design based on user requirements. The circuit design automation system solves the problems of complexity and frequent errors in manually performed circuit design. By automatically generating an optimal circuit design based on user requirements, it reduces the risk of design errors and shortens the design process. Furthermore, it learns from past design data and proposes high-quality circuit designs in real time. This improves the speed and accuracy of the design process and reduces the burden on engineers by automating complex tasks. For example, the circuit design automation system understands the circuit design requirements entered by the user (e.g., current capacity, circuit purpose, etc.) in natural language and generates an optimal circuit design proposal. The language model proposes circuit diagram concepts and design proposals based on the input requirements. Next, the circuit design automation system uses a generative model that has learned from past design data and specifications to automatically generate a circuit diagram according to the user's requirements. This allows designers to compare multiple design proposals in a short time and select the best one. In addition, the circuit design automation system uses a reinforcement learning model to automatically detect problems that occur during the design process and proposes an optimal circuit design by adjusting the design parameters. This reduces design errors and improves quality. Furthermore, the circuit design automation system uses AI to learn past design error patterns and predict errors in new design proposals. By identifying areas where errors are likely to occur and suggesting corrections, it enhances design reliability. Finally, the circuit design automation system generates the technical documents and manuals required during the circuit design process. The generating AI automatically creates design documents and reports, reducing the burden on designers. In this way, the circuit design automation system transforms the way engineers work and innovates the design process. AI-powered automation reduces design errors and shortens development time, enabling users to deliver products that meet market needs more quickly. Additionally, the efficient design process reduces resources spent on prototyping and modifications, thus reducing environmental impact. Moreover, automated design tools make it easier for young engineers and students to acquire more advanced design skills, supporting the development of the next generation of engineers.This allows the circuit design automation system to understand user requirements and improve the efficiency and accuracy of the design process by automatically generating, optimizing, predicting errors in, and documenting circuit designs.

[0029] The circuit design automation system according to the embodiment comprises a requirements understanding unit, a design generation unit, an optimization unit, an error prediction unit, and a document generation unit. The requirements understanding unit understands the user's requirements. For example, the requirements understanding unit understands the circuit design requirements input by the user in natural language. The requirements understanding unit can analyze the user's requirements using natural language processing technology and extract the information necessary for design. For example, the requirements understanding unit decomposes the user's input using morphological analysis, performs grammatical analysis, and understands the requirements through semantic analysis. The design generation unit automatically generates a circuit design based on the requirements understood by the requirements understanding unit. For example, the design generation unit learns past design data and specifications and automatically generates a circuit diagram according to the user's requirements. The design generation unit can propose the optimal circuit design for the user's requirements using a generation AI. For example, the design generation unit inputs past design data into the generation AI and generates a new circuit diagram based on the user's requirements. The optimization unit optimizes the circuit design generated by the design generation unit. For example, the optimization unit automatically detects problems that occur during the design process using a reinforcement learning model and adjusts the design parameters. The optimization unit can optimize design parameters to improve design quality. For example, the optimization unit inputs design parameters into a reinforcement learning model and outputs optimal design parameters. The error prediction unit predicts errors based on the circuit design optimized by the optimization unit. For example, the error prediction unit uses AI to learn patterns of past design errors and predicts errors for new design proposals. The error prediction unit can identify areas where errors are likely to occur and suggest corrective actions. For example, the error prediction unit inputs past design error data into AI and predicts errors for new design proposals.

[0030] The requirements understanding unit understands the user's requirements. For example, the requirements understanding unit understands the circuit design requirements entered by the user in natural language. The requirements understanding unit can analyze the user's requirements using natural language processing technology and extract the information necessary for design. Specifically, the requirements understanding unit decomposes the user's input using morphological analysis, performs grammatical analysis, and understands the requirements through semantic analysis. Morphological analysis decomposes the sentence entered by the user into individual words and identifies the part of speech of each word. Next, grammatical analysis analyzes the relationships between the decomposed words and grasps the overall structure of the sentence. Finally, semantic analysis understands the user's intent and requirements based on the results of grammatical analysis. For example, if the requirement "I want to design a highly efficient power supply circuit" is entered, the requirements understanding unit extracts the keywords "high efficiency," "power supply circuit," and "design," and organizes the information necessary for design based on these keywords. Furthermore, even if the user's requirements are ambiguous or incomplete, the requirements understanding unit can collect additional information through an interactive interface and supplement the requirements. For example, if a user simply inputs "high-efficiency power supply circuit," the requirements understanding unit will ask questions such as "What is the specific efficiency target percentage?" or "What is the voltage range to be used?" to confirm the detailed requirements. This allows the requirements understanding unit to accurately and thoroughly understand the user's requirements and provide the necessary information to the design generation unit.

[0031] The design generation unit automatically generates circuit designs based on the requirements understood by the requirements understanding unit. For example, the design generation unit learns from past design data and specifications to automatically generate circuit diagrams that meet user requirements. Using a generation AI, the design generation unit can propose the optimal circuit design for the user's requirements. Specifically, the design generation unit inputs past design data into the generation AI and generates a new circuit diagram based on the user's requirements. The generation AI uses deep learning technology to learn from past design data and understand design patterns and optimal configurations. For example, in power supply circuit design, it learns past highly efficient design patterns and proposes the optimal circuit configuration according to the user's requirements. Furthermore, the design generation unit can perform simulations on the generated circuit diagrams to verify the design's validity. Based on the simulation results, it modifies the design as needed to generate the optimal circuit diagram. For example, if the generated circuit diagram does not perform as expected under specific operating conditions, the design generation unit readjusts the circuit configuration and performs the simulation again. This allows the design generation unit to quickly and accurately generate the optimal circuit design for the user's requirements.

[0032] The optimization unit optimizes the circuit design generated by the design generation unit. For example, the optimization unit automatically detects problems that occur during the design process using a reinforcement learning model and adjusts the design parameters. Specifically, the optimization unit inputs design parameters into the reinforcement learning model and outputs the optimal design parameters. The reinforcement learning model can optimize the design parameters to improve the quality of the design. For example, the optimization unit adjusts the placement and connection methods of components to maximize the efficiency and stability of the circuit. Furthermore, the optimization unit can also optimize while considering the cost and ease of manufacturing of the design. For example, if a particular component is expensive, the optimization unit suggests an alternative component to reduce costs. Also, for designs that require complex procedures in the manufacturing process, the optimization unit simplifies the design and improves manufacturing efficiency. In this way, the optimization unit can provide the optimal circuit design by comprehensively considering design quality, cost, and ease of manufacturing.

[0033] The error prediction unit predicts errors based on the circuit design optimized by the optimization unit. For example, the error prediction unit uses AI to learn past design error patterns and predicts errors for new design proposals. Specifically, the error prediction unit inputs past design error data into the AI ​​and makes error predictions for new design proposals. Based on past error patterns, the AI ​​can identify the location and cause of errors in the new design proposal. For example, if a particular circuit configuration has caused errors with a high probability in the past, the error prediction unit will detect that circuit configuration and warn of the possibility of errors. Furthermore, the error prediction unit can identify parts where errors are likely to occur and suggest corrective measures. For example, if the placement of a particular component is the cause of an error, the error prediction unit will suggest changing the placement of that component. In this way, the error prediction unit can improve the quality and reliability of the design by predicting potential errors at the early stages of design and providing corrective measures.

[0034] The document generation unit generates technical documents based on errors predicted by the error prediction unit. For example, the document generation unit generates technical documents and manuals necessary during the circuit design process. Specifically, the document generation unit can automatically create design documents and reports using generation AI. The generation AI automatically generates the content of technical documents based on design data and provides them to the user. For example, it can generate technical documents that include an overview of the circuit design, a list of components used, the design's objectives and requirements, details of the design process, error prediction results, and proposed corrections. Furthermore, the document generation unit can customize the generated technical documents according to user requirements. For example, it can generate documents that conform to a specific format or style, or highlight specific information. This allows the document generation unit to increase the transparency of the design process and provide users with detailed design information.

Specifically, the requirements understanding unit decomposes the user's input using morphological analysis, performs grammatical analysis, and understands the requirements through semantic analysis. Morphological analysis decomposes the sentence entered by the user into individual words and identifies the part of speech of each word. Next, grammatical analysis analyzes the relationships between the decomposed words and grasps the overall structure of the sentence. Finally, semantic analysis understands the user's intent and requirements based on the results of grammatical analysis. For example, if the requirement "I want to design a highly efficient power supply circuit" is entered, the requirements understanding unit extracts the keywords "high efficiency," "power supply circuit," and "design," and organizes the information necessary for design based on these keywords. Furthermore, even if the user's requirements are ambiguous or incomplete, the requirements understanding unit can collect additional information through an interactive interface and supplement the requirements.

[0143] [Third Embodiment] Figure 5 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment.

[0144] As shown in Figure 5, the data processing system 310 includes a data processing device 12 and a headset terminal 314. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0145] 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.

[0146] The headset terminal 314 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a display 343. 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 display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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 (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) 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).

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

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.).

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, but may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the headset terminal 314 or an external device, and the headset terminal 314 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0158] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the requirements understanding unit, design generation unit, optimization unit, error prediction unit, and document generation unit, is implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the requirements understanding unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314 and understands the circuit design requirements entered by the user in natural language.

[0159] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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).

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.).

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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).

[0174] 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.

[0175] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the requirements understanding unit, design generation unit, optimization unit, error prediction unit, and document generation unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the requirements understanding unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and understands the circuit design requirements input by the user in natural language. The design generation unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and learns past design data and specifications to automatically generate a circuit diagram according to the user's requirements. The optimization unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and uses a reinforcement learning model to automatically detect problems that occur during the design process and adjust the design parameters. The error prediction unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and learns past design error patterns to predict errors for new design proposals. The document generation unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and generates technical documents and manuals necessary in the circuit design process. The correspondence between each part and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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."

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.
