[0022] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various types of information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54.

[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.

The smart device 14 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.

[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 dietary improvement system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for improving dietary habits using AI. This dietary improvement system allows users to input their food preferences, nutritional balance, and desired health aspects (such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or weight loss). Next, the AI ​​analyzes this information and creates a one-month meal plan. Furthermore, based on the created meal plan, it generates videos demonstrating how to prepare each dish. This mechanism allows users to easily achieve a healthy diet. For example, a user inputs their food preferences, nutritional balance, and desired health aspects. For instance, they might input information such as, "I like vegetables and want to take measures against diabetes." This information is input to the AI. Next, the AI ​​analyzes the input information and creates a one-month meal plan. The AI ​​considers the user's preferences and health needs and proposes a balanced menu. For example, it might suggest a menu with plenty of vegetables for breakfast, a low-carbohydrate menu for lunch, and a high-protein menu for dinner. Furthermore, based on the created meal plan, it generates videos demonstrating how to prepare each dish. The AI ​​analyzes the recipe for each dish and generates the video. For example, it might show how to make stir-fried vegetables in a video, making it easy for the user to cook. This system makes it easy for users to adopt a healthy diet. Users simply input their food preferences and health concerns, and receive a balanced meal plan and cooking videos. This helps improve their eating habits and achieve a healthier body. For example, if a user inputs "I like vegetables and want to manage diabetes," the AI ​​will suggest a low-carb meal plan rich in vegetables and provide cooking videos. This makes it easy for users to achieve a healthy diet. In this way, the diet improvement system automatically improves the user's eating habits and provides a healthy lifestyle.

[0029] The dietary improvement system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a creation unit, and a generation unit. The reception unit receives input from the user regarding food likes and dislikes, nutritional balance, and health information. For example, the reception unit can receive input from the user regarding their preferences for specific ingredients, tastes, and textures. The reception unit can also receive input from the user regarding allergy information, medical history, and current health status. Furthermore, the reception unit can receive input from the user regarding desired health aspects (e.g., high blood pressure, diabetes, diet measures, etc.). The creation unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit and creates a menu plan for one month. For example, the creation unit proposes a balanced menu considering the user's preferences and health needs. For example, the creation unit proposes a menu with plenty of vegetables for breakfast, a low-carbohydrate menu for lunch, and a high-protein menu for dinner. The creation unit uses AI to analyze the user's input information and create an optimal menu. The generation unit generates videos of how to prepare each dish based on the menu plan created by the creation unit. For example, the generation unit analyzes the recipes for each dish and generates videos. For example, the generation unit displays a video demonstrating how to make stir-fried vegetables, making it easy for users to cook. The generation unit uses AI to analyze the recipe for each dish and generate a video. As a result, the dietary improvement system according to this embodiment can automatically improve the user's diet and provide a healthy diet.

[0030] The reception desk allows users to input information about their food preferences, nutritional balance, and health. Specifically, users can access a dedicated application or website using their smartphone or computer to input detailed preferences regarding ingredients, taste, and texture. For example, users can input specific preferences such as "I like spicy food," "I want to limit sweets," or "I like crispy textures." They can also input allergy information, medical history, and current health status. For example, by inputting information such as "I have a nut allergy," "I have had a stomach ulcer in the past," or "I am currently being treated for high blood pressure," the system can suggest menus tailored to the user's health condition. Furthermore, users can input their desired health aspects. For example, by inputting specific goals such as "I'm on a diet and want to reduce calories," "I have diabetes and would like a low-carbohydrate diet," or "I want to increase muscle mass and would like a high-protein diet," the system will provide a meal plan tailored to the user's goals. The reception desk centrally manages this information and builds a customized database for each user. This allows the reception desk to build a foundation for providing individually optimized dietary improvement plans based on detailed user information.

[0031] The creation department analyzes the information received by the reception department and creates a one-month meal plan. Specifically, the creation department uses AI to analyze data in order to propose a balanced meal plan that takes into account the user's preferences and health needs. For example, if a user inputs "I would like a menu with lots of vegetables for breakfast," "I would like a low-carb menu for lunch," and "I would like a high-protein menu for dinner," the creation department will create a meal plan that takes these preferences into account and considers the nutritional balance of each meal. Based on past data and nutritional knowledge, the AI ​​selects the most suitable ingredients and dishes for the user's preferences and health condition. For example, it might suggest a salad or smoothie with lots of vegetables for breakfast, a low-carb salad chicken or tofu dish for lunch, and a high-protein fish or chicken dish for dinner. The creation department can also propose a meal plan that incorporates seasonal ingredients and local specialties. This allows users to enjoy fresh and delicious meals. Furthermore, the creation department can improve the meal plan based on user feedback. For example, if a user provides feedback such as "I didn't like this dish" or "I'd prefer something easier to make," the menu creation team will take this into account and improve the next menu. This allows the team to provide optimal menus tailored to the user's preferences and health condition, and continuously support improvements in their eating habits.

[0032] The generation unit generates cooking videos for each dish based on the menu created by the creation unit. Specifically, the generation unit analyzes the recipe for each dish and generates videos to make cooking easy for users. Using AI, it analyzes the steps of the recipe, taking into account the necessary ingredients, cooking utensils, and cooking time, to create easy-to-understand videos. For example, when showing how to make stir-fried vegetables in a video, it explains in detail everything from preparing the ingredients to the cooking procedure, adjusting the heat, and plating. The generation unit can also customize the content of the videos according to the user's cooking skills and the cooking utensils they use. For example, it carefully explains basic cooking procedures for beginners and introduces advanced techniques and variations for advanced users. Furthermore, the generation unit can improve the content of the videos based on user feedback. For example, it incorporates feedback such as "This part was difficult to understand" or "I would like a more detailed explanation" to improve the next video. In this way, the generation unit can support users in enjoying cooking and promote improvements in their eating habits. In addition, the generation unit can also suggest related dishes and new recipes based on the user's video viewing history and preferences. This allows users to constantly try new dishes and broaden the variety of their diet.

[0033] The reception unit includes an analysis unit that considers the user's preferences and health needs. For example, the reception unit analyzes information about the user's preferences for specific foods, tastes, and textures. For instance, if the reception unit finds that the user likes vegetables, it analyzes this information and suggests an appropriate menu. The reception unit can also analyze the user's allergy information, medical history, and current health status. For example, if the reception unit finds that the user has a specific allergy, it analyzes this information and suggests a menu that avoids the allergen. Furthermore, the reception unit can also analyze the user's desired health aspects (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, dieting, etc.). For example, if the reception unit finds that the user wants diabetes management, it analyzes this information and suggests a low-carbohydrate menu. This allows the reception unit to receive information that takes into account the user's preferences and health needs. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the reception unit can input the user's input information into the AI, which can then perform the analysis.

[0034] The menu creation unit proposes a balanced menu that takes into account the user's preferences and health needs.

In this way, the generation unit can suggest the optimal cooking method based on the user's past cooking history.

[0055] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 1.

[0056] Step 1: The reception desk allows users to input information about their food preferences, nutritional balance, and health status. For example, users can input information about their preferences for specific ingredients, tastes, and textures, allergy information, medical history, current health status, and desired health aspects (such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or weight loss). Step 2: The creation department analyzes the information received by the reception department and creates a one-month meal plan. The creation department proposes a balanced menu that takes into account the user's preferences and health needs. For example, it might suggest a menu with plenty of vegetables for breakfast, a low-carbohydrate menu for lunch, and a high-protein menu for dinner. The creation department uses AI to analyze the user's input information and create the optimal menu. Step 3: The generation unit generates videos showing how to make each dish based on the menu created by the creation unit. The generation unit analyzes the recipe for each dish and generates a video. For example, it might create a video showing how to make stir-fried vegetables so that users can easily cook them. The generation unit uses AI to analyze the recipe for each dish and generate a video.

[0057] (Example of form 2) The dietary improvement system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for improving dietary habits using AI. This dietary improvement system allows users to input their food preferences, nutritional balance, and desired health aspects (such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or weight loss). Next, the AI ​​analyzes this information and creates a one-month meal plan. Furthermore, based on the created meal plan, it generates videos demonstrating how to prepare each dish. This mechanism allows users to easily achieve a healthy diet. For example, a user inputs their food preferences, nutritional balance, and desired health aspects. For instance, they might input information such as, "I like vegetables and want to take measures against diabetes." This information is input to the AI. Next, the AI ​​analyzes the input information and creates a one-month meal plan. The AI ​​considers the user's preferences and health needs and proposes a balanced menu. For example, it might suggest a menu with plenty of vegetables for breakfast, a low-carbohydrate menu for lunch, and a high-protein menu for dinner. Furthermore, based on the created meal plan, it generates videos demonstrating how to prepare each dish. The AI ​​analyzes the recipe for each dish and generates the video. For example, it might show how to make stir-fried vegetables in a video, making it easy for the user to cook. This system makes it easy for users to adopt a healthy diet. Users simply input their food preferences and health concerns, and receive a balanced meal plan and cooking videos. This helps improve their eating habits and achieve a healthier body. For example, if a user inputs "I like vegetables and want to manage diabetes," the AI ​​will suggest a low-carb meal plan rich in vegetables and provide cooking videos. This makes it easy for users to achieve a healthy diet. In this way, the diet improvement system automatically improves the user's eating habits and provides a healthy lifestyle.

[0058] The dietary improvement system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a creation unit, and a generation unit. The reception unit receives input from the user regarding food likes and dislikes, nutritional balance, and health information. For example, the reception unit can receive input from the user regarding their preferences for specific ingredients, tastes, and textures. The reception unit can also receive input from the user regarding allergy information, medical history, and current health status. Furthermore, the reception unit can receive input from the user regarding desired health aspects (e.g., high blood pressure, diabetes, diet measures, etc.). The creation unit analyzes the information received by the reception unit and creates a menu plan for one month. For example, the creation unit proposes a balanced menu considering the user's preferences and health needs. For example, the creation unit proposes a menu with plenty of vegetables for breakfast, a low-carbohydrate menu for lunch, and a high-protein menu for dinner. The creation unit uses AI to analyze the user's input information and create an optimal menu. The generation unit generates videos of how to prepare each dish based on the menu plan created by the creation unit. For example, the generation unit analyzes the recipes for each dish and generates videos. For example, the generation unit displays a video demonstrating how to make stir-fried vegetables, making it easy for users to cook. The generation unit uses AI to analyze the recipe for each dish and generate a video. As a result, the dietary improvement system according to this embodiment can automatically improve the user's diet and provide a healthy diet.

[0059] The reception desk allows users to input information about their food preferences, nutritional balance, and health. Specifically, users can access a dedicated application or website using their smartphone or computer to input detailed preferences regarding ingredients, taste, and texture. For example, users can input specific preferences such as "I like spicy food," "I want to limit sweets," or "I like crispy textures." They can also input allergy information, medical history, and current health status. For example, by inputting information such as "I have a nut allergy," "I have had a stomach ulcer in the past," or "I am currently being treated for high blood pressure," the system can suggest menus tailored to the user's health condition. Furthermore, users can input their desired health aspects. For example, by inputting specific goals such as "I'm on a diet and want to reduce calories," "I have diabetes and would like a low-carbohydrate diet," or "I want to increase muscle mass and would like a high-protein diet," the system will provide a meal plan tailored to the user's goals. The reception desk centrally manages this information and builds a customized database for each user. This allows the reception desk to build a foundation for providing individually optimized dietary improvement plans based on detailed user information.

[0060] The creation department analyzes the information received by the reception department and creates a one-month meal plan. Specifically, the creation department uses AI to analyze data in order to propose a balanced meal plan that takes into account the user's preferences and health needs. For example, if a user inputs "I would like a menu with lots of vegetables for breakfast," "I would like a low-carb menu for lunch," and "I would like a high-protein menu for dinner," the creation department will create a meal plan that takes these preferences into account and considers the nutritional balance of each meal. Based on past data and nutritional knowledge, the AI ​​selects the most suitable ingredients and dishes for the user's preferences and health condition. For example, it might suggest a salad or smoothie with lots of vegetables for breakfast, a low-carb salad chicken or tofu dish for lunch, and a high-protein fish or chicken dish for dinner. The creation department can also propose a meal plan that incorporates seasonal ingredients and local specialties. This allows users to enjoy fresh and delicious meals. Furthermore, the creation department can improve the meal plan based on user feedback. For example, if a user provides feedback such as "I didn't like this dish" or "I'd prefer something easier to make," the menu creation team will take this into account and improve the next menu. This allows the team to provide optimal menus tailored to the user's preferences and health condition, and continuously support improvements in their eating habits.

[0061] The generation unit generates cooking videos for each dish based on the menu created by the creation unit. Specifically, the generation unit analyzes the recipe for each dish and generates videos to make cooking easy for users. Using AI, it analyzes the steps of the recipe, taking into account the necessary ingredients, cooking utensils, and cooking time, to create easy-to-understand videos. For example, when showing how to make stir-fried vegetables in a video, it explains in detail everything from preparing the ingredients to the cooking procedure, adjusting the heat, and plating. The generation unit can also customize the content of the videos according to the user's cooking skills and the cooking utensils they use. For example, it carefully explains basic cooking procedures for beginners and introduces advanced techniques and variations for advanced users. Furthermore, the generation unit can improve the content of the videos based on user feedback. For example, it incorporates feedback such as "This part was difficult to understand" or "I would like a more detailed explanation" to improve the next video. In this way, the generation unit can support users in enjoying cooking and promote improvements in their eating habits. In addition, the generation unit can also suggest related dishes and new recipes based on the user's video viewing history and preferences. This allows users to constantly try new dishes and broaden the variety of their diet.

[0062] The reception unit includes an analysis unit that considers the user's preferences and health needs. For example, the reception unit analyzes information about the user's preferences for specific foods, tastes, and textures. For instance, if the reception unit finds that the user likes vegetables, it analyzes this information and suggests an appropriate menu. The reception unit can also analyze the user's allergy information, medical history, and current health status. For example, if the reception unit finds that the user has a specific allergy, it analyzes this information and suggests a menu that avoids the allergen. Furthermore, the reception unit can also analyze the user's desired health aspects (e.g., hypertension, diabetes, dieting, etc.). For example, if the reception unit finds that the user wants diabetes management, it analyzes this information and suggests a low-carbohydrate menu. This allows the reception unit to receive information that takes into account the user's preferences and health needs. Some or all of the above processing in the reception unit may be performed using AI or not.

The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.

[0141] 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.

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.).

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, creation unit, and generation unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, allowing the user to input information about food preferences, nutritional balance, and health. The creation unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the user's input information and creates a menu for one month. The generation unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which generates videos of how to make each dish based on the created menu. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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."

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.
