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 travel support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that autonomously assists travelers with directions, recommendations for restaurants and tourist attractions, etc. Based on GPS information built into the smartphone and the latest maps downloaded to the terminal, the travel support system can respond to changes in destination even when out of range. The travel support system also suggests recommended restaurants in the vicinity according to the user's preferences via the internet and investigates information such as temporary closures through real-time searches. Furthermore, the travel support system utilizes the mobile network, and when the user enters an area where there is likely to be no signal, the AI ​​agent autonomously downloads data so that it can operate offline. This solves the problem of the system being useless when there is no internet connection. For example, if a user needs directions during a trip, the travel support system uses the smartphone's GPS information to determine the current location and guides the user to their destination based on downloaded map data. For example, if a user wants to go to a tourist attraction, the travel support system calculates the optimal route and provides guidance via voice and visuals. Next, if a user requests information on restaurants, the travel support system collects information on nearby restaurants and cafes via the internet and suggests recommended restaurants according to the user's preferences. For example, if a user prefers Japanese food, it suggests nearby Japanese restaurants and provides information on temporary closures and congestion in real time. Furthermore, if the user enters an area where cell service is likely to be lost, the travel support system can download necessary data in advance, enabling offline navigation and information provision. For example, before entering areas without cell service, such as mountainous regions or underground areas, the travel support system automatically downloads map data and tourist information, allowing users to enjoy their trip with peace of mind even without cell service. In this way, the travel support system makes maximum use of the various functions of smartphones to provide real-time support to make the user's trip the best possible experience. It functions without problems even in areas without cell service and provides information tailored to the user's preferences, reducing travel troubles and ensuring a comfortable trip. As a result, the travel support system can autonomously assist with directions, recommending restaurants and tourist attractions during travel.

[0029] The travel support system according to this embodiment comprises a location identification unit, a navigation unit, a suggestion unit, and a download unit. The location identification unit identifies the current location using GPS information. The location identification unit acquires the current location using, for example, the GPS sensor of a smartphone. The location identification unit can also correct the current location using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth® signals. For example, the location identification unit corrects the current location using the location information of a Wi-Fi access point. The location identification unit can also correct the current location using Bluetooth beacon signals. The navigation unit performs navigation based on downloaded map data according to the current location identified by the location identification unit. The navigation unit calculates the optimal route using, for example, the map data. The navigation unit can also provide guidance using voice or visuals. For example, the navigation unit guides the user on a route using voice guidance. The navigation unit can also guide the user on a route using visual guidance. The suggestion unit collects and suggests gourmet information via the internet. The suggestion unit suggests gourmet information tailored to the user's preferences, for example. The suggestion unit can also investigate temporary closures and congestion status in real time. For example, the suggestion unit collects information from restaurant official websites and review sites via the internet. The suggestion unit can also analyze the user's past behavior history to make more appropriate suggestions. The download unit downloads data before entering an area without coverage. For example, the download unit downloads necessary map data and tourist information before entering an area without coverage. The download unit can also select necessary data based on the user's current location and travel route. For example, the download unit downloads information about tourist attractions the user plans to visit in advance. The download unit can also download information tailored to the user's preferences. As a result, the travel support system according to this embodiment can autonomously assist with directions, recommended restaurants, tourist attractions, and more during travel.

[0030] The location tracking unit uses GPS information to determine the current location. For example, the location tracking unit obtains the current location using the GPS sensor of a smartphone. Specifically, the smartphone's GPS sensor receives signals from multiple satellites and calculates the current location based on the difference in the arrival times of those signals. This allows the location tracking unit to obtain highly accurate location information. The location tracking unit can also correct the current location using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals. For example, the location tracking unit corrects the current location using the location information of a Wi-Fi access point. The location information of Wi-Fi access points is registered in a database in advance, and the current location can be corrected based on the information of the Wi-Fi access point to which the smartphone is connected. The location tracking unit can also correct the current location using signals from Bluetooth beacons. Bluetooth beacons emit signals within a specific range, and smartphones that receive these signals correct their current location based on the beacon's location information. This allows the location tracking unit to obtain highly accurate location information even indoors or in urban areas where GPS signals are difficult to receive. Furthermore, the location tracking unit updates this location information in real time, allowing it to constantly and accurately determine the current location in accordance with the user's movement. This allows the specific unit to provide accurate location information wherever the user is, and to support other functions of the travel assistance system.

[0031] The navigation unit performs navigation based on downloaded map data, using the current location identified by the identification unit. For example, the navigation unit calculates the optimal route using the map data. Specifically, the navigation unit receives the user's current location and destination as input and calculates the optimal route using an algorithm. This algorithm considers road congestion, traffic regulations, and the user's mode of transportation (walking, cycling, driving, etc.) to provide the most efficient route. The navigation unit can also provide voice and visual guidance. For example, the navigation unit guides the user along a route using voice guidance. Voice guidance is particularly useful while driving or walking, as it allows the user to navigate without relying on visual information. The navigation unit can also guide the user along a route using visual guidance. Visual guidance displays the route on a map, allowing the user to visually confirm their route as they move. Furthermore, the navigation unit can recalculate the route based on real-time updated traffic information, providing the user with the latest information. This allows the navigation unit to support the user in reaching their destination efficiently and safely.

[0032] The suggestion department collects and proposes gourmet information via the internet. For example, the suggestion department proposes gourmet information tailored to the user's preferences. Specifically, the suggestion department analyzes the user's past search history and rating history to understand the user's preferences for dishes and restaurants. This allows them to provide the user with the most suitable gourmet information. The suggestion department can also investigate temporary closures and congestion levels in real time. For example, the suggestion department collects information from restaurant official websites and review sites via the internet. This allows them to determine whether a restaurant the user is planning to visit is temporarily closed or how crowded it is. Furthermore, the suggestion department can analyze the user's past behavior history to make more appropriate suggestions. For example, based on data from restaurants the user has visited and dishes they have rated in the past, they can suggest restaurants the user hasn't visited yet but might like. In this way, the suggestion department can provide valuable information to users and expand their dining options during their travels.

[0033] The download function downloads data before entering an area without coverage. For example, it downloads necessary map data and tourist information before entering an area without coverage. Specifically, the download function selects the necessary data based on the user's current location and travel route. For example, it downloads information about tourist attractions the user plans to visit in advance. The download function can also download information tailored to the user's preferences. For example, if the user is interested in historical buildings, the download function downloads information about historical buildings in the area they plan to visit. This allows the user to access necessary information even in areas without coverage, reducing inconvenience during travel. Furthermore, the download function manages the frequency and size of data updates, efficiently utilizing the user's device storage. For example, it can automatically delete old data and prioritize downloading new data, ensuring that the latest information is always provided. In this way, the download function can support users in enjoying a comfortable trip even in areas without coverage.

[0034] The suggestion unit can suggest information tailored to the user's preferences. For example, the suggestion unit can identify the user's preferences by analyzing the user's past behavior history. For example, the suggestion unit can understand the user's preferences based on information about restaurants and cafes the user has visited in the past. The suggestion unit can also identify the user's preferences based on keywords the user has searched for and websites the user has visited in the past. For example, if the user likes Japanese food, the suggestion unit can suggest a nearby Japanese restaurant. Similarly, if the user likes Italian food, the suggestion unit can suggest a nearby Italian restaurant. By providing information tailored to the user's preferences, it becomes possible to make suggestions that are more satisfying. Some or all of the above processes in the suggestion unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not. For example, the suggestion unit can input the user's past behavior history into AI and have the AI ​​perform the identification of the user's preferences.

[0035] The suggestion department can investigate temporary closures and congestion levels in real time. The suggestion department collects information from, for example, the official websites and review sites of restaurants via the internet.

[0135] 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.

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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.

[0139] 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.).

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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.

[0143] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the identification unit, navigation unit, suggestion unit, and download unit, is implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the identification unit uses the GPS sensor, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth signals of the headset terminal 314 to determine the current location. The navigation unit calculates the optimal route using downloaded map data by the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314 and provides guidance via voice and visuals. The suggestion unit collects gourmet information via the internet by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and provides suggestions tailored to the user's preferences. The download unit downloads necessary data before entering an area without coverage by the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0144] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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).

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.).

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the identification unit, navigation unit, suggestion unit, and download unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the identification unit uses the robot 414's GPS sensor, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth signals to determine the current location. The navigation unit calculates the optimal route using map data downloaded by the robot 414's control unit 46A and provides guidance via voice and visuals. The suggestion unit collects gourmet information via the internet using the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and makes suggestions tailored to the user's preferences. The download unit downloads necessary data before entering an area without coverage using the robot 414's control unit 46A. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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."

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.
