[0028] (Example of form 1) The fraudulent billing prevention system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a solution using an AI agent to prevent fraudulent billing in nursing care facilities and hospitals. This fraudulent billing prevention system incorporates an AI agent into cameras in nursing care facilities and hospitals and analyzes the video in real time. This AI agent automatically detects fraudulent billing, such as specific business establishment allowances and care worker treatment improvement allowances, and immediately notifies administrators and auditing bodies. It also improves accuracy by learning patterns of fraud in conjunction with past data. For example, the fraudulent billing prevention system incorporates an AI agent into cameras in nursing care facilities and hospitals and acquires video in real time. For example, cameras are installed in various locations within the facility to monitor how care workers are performing specific tasks and the situation within the facility. Next, the fraudulent billing prevention system analyzes the video acquired by the AI agent. The AI agent analyzes the movements and actions in the video and detects fraudulent billing, such as specific business establishment allowances and care worker treatment improvement allowances. For example, it can detect cases where care workers report performing tasks they did not actually perform, or where they are engaging in activities that violate regulations. Furthermore, if fraudulent activity is detected, the fraudulent billing prevention system immediately notifies administrators and auditing bodies. This enables a swift response and helps prevent fraudulent claims. For example, administrators can identify fraudulent activity and take appropriate measures. Furthermore, the fraud prevention system learns patterns of fraud by linking with past data. This improves the accuracy of the AI agent, enabling more effective fraud detection. For example, it can detect similar patterns based on past fraudulent claim data. This enables the detection and prevention of fraudulent claims, improving the reliability of the long-term care insurance system. This ensures that truly necessary funds are allocated appropriately, improving the quality of care services. It also creates an environment where the elderly and their families can receive care with peace of mind, leading to the sustainable operation of the entire long-term care industry. For example, in care facilities, the AI agent monitors the work of care staff and detects fraudulent claims, ensuring appropriate fund allocation. This improves the quality of care services and creates an environment where the elderly and their families can receive care with peace of mind. It also improves the reliability of the long-term care insurance system, leading to the sustainable operation of the entire long-term care industry.This means that the fraudulent billing prevention system can prevent fraudulent billing in nursing care facilities and hospitals, and improve the reliability of the long-term care insurance system.
[0029] The fraudulent billing prevention system according to this embodiment comprises an acquisition unit, an analysis unit, a detection unit, and a notification unit. The acquisition unit acquires video. The acquisition unit acquires video using, for example, cameras in nursing homes or hospitals. The acquisition unit can acquire, for example, real-time footage of care workers performing specific tasks or the situation within the facility using cameras installed in various locations within the facility. The acquisition unit can monitor the movements and actions of care workers using, for example, cameras within the facility. The acquisition unit can verify the tasks actually being performed by care workers using, for example, cameras within the facility. The analysis unit analyzes the video acquired by the acquisition unit. The analysis unit analyzes the movements and actions in the video using, for example, AI. The analysis unit can analyze the movements and actions in the video and detect fraudulent billing, such as specific business establishment allowances or care worker treatment improvement allowances. The analysis unit can analyze the movements and actions in the video and detect cases where care workers report performing tasks they did not actually perform, or where they are engaging in activities that violate regulations. The analysis unit can, for example, analyze movements and actions in video and detect patterns of fraudulent billing. The detection unit detects fraud based on the results of the analysis by the analysis unit. The detection unit can, for example, use AI to detect fraud based on the analysis results. The detection unit can, for example, detect fraudulent billing of specific business establishment allowances and care worker treatment improvement allowances based on the analysis results. The detection unit can, for example, detect cases where care workers report performing tasks they did not actually perform, or where they are engaging in activities that violate regulations, based on the analysis results. The detection unit can, for example, detect patterns of fraudulent billing based on the analysis results. The notification unit notifies of fraud detected by the detection unit. The notification unit notifies administrators and auditing bodies of fraud detected using AI, for example. The notification unit can, for example, immediately notify administrators and auditing bodies when fraudulent activity is detected. The notification unit can, for example, notify administrators and auditing bodies of the details of fraudulent activity. The notification unit can, for example, notify administrators and auditing bodies of the location and time of the fraudulent activity. As a result, the fraud prevention system according to this embodiment can consistently perform tasks from video acquisition and analysis to fraud detection and notification.
[0030] The acquisition unit acquires video footage. For example, it uses cameras in nursing homes and hospitals to acquire video footage. Specifically, it can use high-resolution cameras installed throughout the facility to capture real-time footage of care staff performing specific tasks and the overall situation within the facility. These cameras are equipped with wide-angle lenses and zoom capabilities, allowing them to capture detailed images over a wide area. Furthermore, infrared cameras and high-sensitivity sensors may be used to acquire clear images even at night or in low-light environments. The acquisition unit can, for example, use cameras within the facility to monitor the movements and actions of care staff. This allows for verification of the tasks actually performed by care staff and evaluation of their accuracy and efficiency. The acquired video footage is transmitted in real-time to a central database and later analyzed by the analysis unit. The acquisition unit can, for example, use cameras within the facility to verify the actual tasks performed by care staff. This allows for verification of the consistency between the tasks reported by care staff and the actual tasks performed, helping to prevent fraudulent billing. Furthermore, the acquisition unit is equipped with a storage system for saving and managing video data, enabling long-term data storage and backup. This makes it possible to analyze long-term business trends and patterns by referring to past video data.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the video footage acquired by the acquisition unit. For example, the analysis unit uses AI to analyze movements and actions within the video. Specifically, it utilizes image recognition algorithms based on deep learning technology to analyze the movements of people and objects within the video with high accuracy. For instance, it can analyze movements and actions within the video to determine whether a caregiver is performing a specific task, thereby detecting fraudulent claims for specific service provider allowances and caregiver treatment improvement allowances. The analysis unit can also analyze movements and actions within the video to detect cases where caregivers report performing tasks they did not actually perform, or where they are engaging in activities that violate regulations. This allows for early detection of discrepancies between caregiver work content and reported content, reducing the risk of fraudulent claims. Furthermore, the analysis unit can analyze movements and actions within the video to detect patterns of fraudulent claims. For example, if fraudulent activity frequently occurs during specific time periods or with specific staff members, the pattern can be analyzed, and preventative measures can be taken. The analysis unit can also utilize historical data and statistical information to conduct long-term risk assessments and trend analyses. For example, based on past fraudulent billing data, the system can predict risk fluctuations in specific regions and time periods and formulate future countermeasures. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual patterns and abnormal data, issuing early warnings. This allows the analysis unit to not only grasp the situation in real time but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, improving the overall reliability and security of the system.
[0032] The detection unit detects fraud based on the results analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the detection unit uses AI to detect fraud based on the analysis results. Specifically, it identifies specific patterns and abnormal behaviors based on data provided by the analysis unit and evaluates the possibility of fraudulent activity. For example, it can detect fraudulent claims for specific business establishment allowances and care worker treatment improvement allowances. For example, the detection unit can detect cases where care workers report performing tasks they did not actually perform, or where they are engaging in activities that violate regulations, based on the analysis results. This allows for the early detection of discrepancies between the care worker's work content and reported content, reducing the risk of fraudulent claims. Furthermore, the detection unit can detect patterns of fraudulent claims based on the analysis results. For example, if fraudulent activity frequently occurs during specific time periods or with specific staff members, the pattern can be analyzed, and preventive measures can be taken. The detection unit can also utilize historical data and statistical information to conduct long-term risk assessments and trend analyses. For example, based on past fraudulent claim data, it can predict fluctuations in risk in specific regions or time periods and formulate future countermeasures. Furthermore, the detection unit can use an anomaly detection algorithm to detect unusual patterns or abnormal data, and issue warnings early. This allows the detection unit to not only grasp the situation in real time but also to handle long-term risk management and anomaly detection, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.
[0033] The notification unit notifies administrators and auditing bodies of fraud detected by the detection unit. For example, the notification unit notifies administrators and auditing bodies of fraud detected using AI. Specifically, it can immediately notify administrators and auditing bodies when fraudulent activity is detected. The notification unit can notify administrators and auditing bodies of details of the fraudulent activity, such as the location and time of the fraud, information on the employees involved, and the specific nature of the fraudulent activity. The notification unit can notify administrators and auditing bodies of the location and time of the fraudulent activity, for example. This allows administrators and auditing bodies to respond quickly and take appropriate measures. Furthermore, the notification unit can reliably transmit information using multiple communication methods. For example, it can reliably deliver important information by using a combination of email, SMS, voice calls, and dedicated notification applications. This allows the notification unit to provide users with quick and reliable instructions and minimize the risk of damage. Furthermore, the notification unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the notification content. For example, it can review and improve the notification content based on feedback from users who have received notifications. Furthermore, the notification unit can automatically and reliably transmit information using multiple notification methods in emergencies. This allows the notification unit to provide users with prompt and reliable instructions, minimizing the risk of disaster.
[0034] The analysis unit includes a learning unit that learns fraud patterns in conjunction with past data. The analysis unit can learn fraud patterns using, for example, past video data or fraud detection data. The analysis unit can detect similar patterns based on, for example, past fraudulent billing data. The analysis unit can improve detection accuracy by learning fraud patterns using, for example, past data. As a result, the accuracy of fraud detection is improved by learning from past data.

For example, it can prioritize monitoring and acquiring video footage of areas where important medical equipment is installed. For example, it can prioritize monitoring and acquiring video footage of areas where many elderly people gather. This allows for the efficient collection of important information by prioritizing the acquisition of activity in specific areas.
[0039] The acquisition unit filters video footage based on specific time periods or events. For example, it can prioritize acquiring video footage from nighttime hours to monitor for misconduct during those hours. It can also acquire video footage based on important events (e.g., medication distribution times) to verify that proper procedures are being followed. Furthermore, it can acquire video footage during shift changes among care staff to monitor for misconduct during these changes. By filtering video footage based on specific time periods or events, important information can be acquired efficiently.
[0040] The acquisition unit acquires optimal video footage by considering the temperature and lighting conditions within the facility. For example, if the temperature inside the facility is high, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring video footage from areas with air conditioning. For example, if the lighting inside the facility is dim, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring video footage from brightly lit areas. For example, the acquisition unit can automatically adjust the video acquisition settings according to the temperature and lighting conditions inside the facility. This improves video quality by acquiring optimal video footage according to the temperature and lighting conditions inside the facility.
[0041] The acquisition unit selects the video to acquire in conjunction with audio data from within the facility when acquiring video. For example, if an abnormal sound is detected within the facility, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring video from that area. For example, if a specific sound (e.g., a cry for help) is detected within the facility, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring video from that area. For example, the acquisition unit can automatically acquire video from the area where the abnormal sound occurred in conjunction with audio data from within the facility. This allows for the efficient acquisition of important information by selecting video in conjunction with audio data.
[0042] The analysis unit prioritizes analyzing specific movements and actions within the video during the analysis process. For example, the analysis unit can prioritize analyzing specific movements of care staff (e.g., distributing medication). For example, the analysis unit can prioritize analyzing specific actions of elderly individuals (e.g., falls). For example, the analysis unit can prioritize analyzing movements and actions in specific areas within a facility. By prioritizing the analysis of specific movements and actions, important information can be analyzed efficiently.
[0043] The analysis unit applies different analysis algorithms depending on the video resolution and frame rate during analysis. For example, the analysis unit can apply a detailed analysis algorithm to high-resolution video. For example, the analysis unit can apply a simplified analysis algorithm to low-resolution video. For example, the analysis unit can apply a motion analysis algorithm to high-frame-rate video. By applying analysis algorithms according to the video resolution and frame rate, the accuracy of the analysis is improved.
[0044] The analysis unit determines the priority of analysis based on when the video footage was acquired. For example, the analysis unit can prioritize the analysis of daytime footage to detect daytime misconduct. For example, the analysis unit can prioritize the analysis of nighttime footage to detect nighttime misconduct. For example, the analysis unit can prioritize the analysis of footage from specific events (e.g., drug distribution times). By determining the priority of analysis based on when the video footage was acquired, important information can be analyzed efficiently.
[0045] The analysis unit improves the accuracy of the analysis by referring to related video data (e.g., audio data and sensor data) during the analysis.

For example, the detection unit can adjust the fraud detection criteria based on specific areas and time periods within the facility. This allows for the efficient detection of significant fraudulent activity by detecting fraud based on specific areas and time periods within the facility.
[0049] The detection unit improves detection accuracy by referring to relevant documents and databases during detection. For example, the detection unit can detect fraud by referring to relevant documents (e.g., business reports). For example, the detection unit can detect fraud by referring to databases and comparing them with past fraudulent activities. For example, the detection unit can perform more accurate fraud detection by combining relevant documents and databases. In this way, the accuracy of detection is improved by referring to relevant documents and databases.
[0050] The notification unit prioritizes notifications based on the severity of the detected misconduct. For example, if significant misconduct is detected, the notification unit can issue an immediate notification. For example, if minor misconduct is detected, the notification unit can include it in a regular report. For example, the notification unit can adjust the frequency and method of notifications according to the severity of the misconduct. This allows for a swift response to significant misconduct by prioritizing notifications based on the severity of the detected misconduct.
[0051] The notification unit provides customized notifications to specific administrators or auditing bodies. For example, the notification unit can provide administrators with notifications containing detailed reports, while it can provide auditing bodies with notifications containing concise reports. The notification unit can also customize the content of notifications according to the recipient. This allows for appropriate responses by providing customized notifications to specific administrators or auditing bodies.
[0052] The notification unit selects the notification method based on specific areas and time zones within the facility.

[0164] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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).
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.).
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the acquisition unit, analysis unit, detection unit, and notification unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the acquisition unit acquires video using the camera 42 of the robot 414 and monitors the movements and actions of care workers with the control unit 46A. The analysis unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the acquired video to detect fraudulent claims. The detection unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and detects fraud based on the analysis results. The notification unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 46A of the robot 414 or the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and notifies the administrator or auditing body when fraudulent activity is detected. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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."
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] 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.
