[0028] (Example of form 1) An AI agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that reads emails, organizes tasks, and presents a simple summary of tasks. The AI agent system reads emails, analyzes the text, extracts necessary tasks, creates a task list, and presents it to the user. This system allows the user to instantly grasp the content of emails and efficiently organize tasks. For example, when reading an email, the AI agent system analyzes the content of the email in detail and extracts important information. For example, it identifies information important to the user, such as meeting schedules and tasks with deadlines. Next, the AI agent system extracts the necessary tasks from the analyzed text. The AI agent creates a task list based on the extracted information. For example, if a meeting is scheduled, it adds information such as the date, time, location, and participants of the meeting to the task list. Finally, the AI agent system presents the created task list to the user. By checking the task list, the user can instantly grasp the content of emails and efficiently organize tasks. For example, by checking the task list, the user can prepare for meetings and decide on task priorities. This system allows the user to instantly grasp the content of emails and efficiently organize tasks. This minimizes administrative time, allowing users to dedicate more time to creative work. It also enables the AI agent system to efficiently organize user emails and quickly grasp tasks.
[0029] The AI agent system according to this embodiment comprises a reading unit, an analysis unit, an extraction unit, a creation unit, and a presentation unit. The reading unit reads the content of an email. The reading unit reads the content of an email using, for example, text analysis technology. The reading unit can also convert an image-formatted email into text data using OCR technology. For example, the reading unit analyzes the body of the email and extracts important information. The analysis unit analyzes the content read by the reading unit. The analysis unit analyzes the content of the email using, for example, natural language processing technology. The analysis unit can also identify important information using keyword extraction technology. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the content of the email and identifies meeting schedules, tasks with deadlines, etc. The extraction unit extracts tasks from the content analyzed by the analysis unit. The extraction unit extracts tasks based on, for example, importance or deadlines. The extraction unit can also extract tasks based on highly relevant information.

For example, the creation unit can customize the contents using an AI model that takes the user's project status as input and outputs the contents of the task list.
[0101] The creation unit can estimate the user's emotions and determine the priority of the task list based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the creation unit may postpone less important tasks. For example, if the user is relaxed, the creation unit may prioritize listing high-importance tasks. For example, if the user is in a hurry, the creation unit may prioritize listing urgent tasks. This allows important tasks to be processed preferentially by determining the priority of the task list according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the creation unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the creation unit can determine priorities using an AI model that takes user emotion data as input and outputs the priority of the task list.
[0102] The task creation unit can create an optimal task list by considering the user's geographical location information when creating a task list. For example, if the user is on a business trip, the unit will prioritize listing tasks that should be done at the destination. For example, if the user is in a specific location, the unit can also list tasks that should be done at that location. For example, if the user is traveling, the unit can also list tasks that should be done at the travel destination. This allows the unit to prioritize listing relevant tasks by considering the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above processing in the task creation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the task creation unit can create a task list using an AI model that takes the user's geographical location information as input and outputs an optimal task list.
[0103] The creation unit can analyze the user's social media activity and suggest task list content when creating a task list. For example, the creation unit can list tasks that the user has mentioned on social media. For example, the creation unit can list tasks from people the user follows on social media. For example, the creation unit can list tasks related to events the user is participating in on social media. This allows the creation unit to prioritize listing relevant tasks by analyzing the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the creation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the creation unit can suggest content using an AI model that takes the user's social media activity as input and outputs task list content.
[0104] The presentation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the task list based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the presentation unit can provide a simple and highly visible display method. For example, if the user is relaxed, the presentation unit can also provide a display method that includes detailed information. For example, if the user is in a hurry, the presentation unit can also provide a display method that gets straight to the point. In this way, by adjusting the display method of the task list according to the user's emotions, a highly visible display method can be provided to the user. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the presentation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the presentation unit can adjust the display method using an AI model that takes user emotion data as input and outputs a display method.
[0105] The display unit can select the optimal display method when displaying the task list by referring to the user's past operation history. For example, the display unit can provide the optimal display method based on the display format the user has previously preferred to use. The display unit can also, for example, analyze the user's past operation history and provide an efficient display method. The display unit can also, for example, prioritize suggesting display formats the user has previously used. In this way, the optimal display method can be provided by referring to the user's past operation history. Some or all of the above processing in the display unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the display unit can select a display method using an AI model that takes the user's past operation history as input and outputs the optimal display method.
[0106] The display unit can customize the displayed content based on the user's current work status when displaying the task list. For example, the display unit can prioritize displaying tasks related to the work the user is currently working on. The display unit can also display necessary tasks based on the user's work progress. For example, if the user is working on multiple tasks simultaneously, the display unit can display tasks related to each task separately. This allows for the priority display of relevant tasks by customizing the displayed content based on the user's current work status. Some or all of the above processing in the display unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the display unit can customize the content using an AI model that takes the user's work status as input and outputs the displayed content.
[0107] The presentation unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the operation procedure of the task list based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, the presentation unit can provide simple and intuitive operation procedures. For example, if the user is relaxed, the presentation unit can also provide detailed operation procedures. For example, if the user is in a hurry, the presentation unit can also provide procedures that can be operated quickly. In this way, by adjusting the operation procedure of the task list according to the user's emotions, an intuitive operation procedure can be provided to the user. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the presentation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the presentation unit can adjust the procedures using an AI model that takes user emotion data as input and outputs operation procedures.
[0108] The display unit can select the optimal display method when displaying a task list, taking into account the user's device information. For example, if the user is using a smartphone, the display unit provides a display method that matches the screen size. For example, if the user is using a tablet, the display unit can also provide a display method optimized for a larger screen. For example, if the user is using a smartwatch, the display unit can also provide a concise and highly visible display method. In this way, the optimal display method can be provided by taking the user's device information into consideration. Some or all of the above processing in the display unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, the display unit can select a display method using an AI model that takes the user's device information as input and outputs the optimal display method.
[0109] The presentation unit can analyze the user's social media activity and suggest content to display when displaying the task list. For example, the presentation unit can display tasks that the user has mentioned on social media. For example, the presentation unit can also display tasks from people the user follows on social media. For example, the presentation unit can display tasks related to events the user is participating in on social media. This allows relevant tasks to be displayed preferentially by analyzing the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the presentation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the presentation unit can suggest content using an AI model that takes the user's social media activity as input and outputs content to display.
[0110] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0111] The AI agent system can also recognize user voice commands and add tasks by voice. For example, if a user says, "Add the next meeting preparation to the list," the system will recognize the instruction and add the meeting preparation task to the task list. The system can also read out today's tasks if the user says, "Read out today's tasks." Furthermore, if the user says, "Mark this task as complete," the system can mark that task as completed. This allows users to manage tasks using only their voice, without using their hands, improving work efficiency.
[0112] The AI agent system can further estimate the user's emotions and adjust task reminders based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the frequency of reminders can be reduced to provide time for relaxation. If the user is focused, reminders can be kept to a minimum to maintain focus. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, reminders for important tasks can be sent more frequently to facilitate task completion. In this way, task management becomes more effective by adjusting reminders according to the user's emotions.
[0113] The AI agent system can also retrieve the user's calendar information and link it to the task list. For example, it can automatically add information about meetings and events registered in the user's calendar to the task list. It can also analyze the calendar's free time and suggest suitable times for completing tasks. Furthermore, if a calendar event changes, the changes can be reflected in the task list. This allows users to centrally manage their calendar and task list, making schedule management easier.
[0114] The AI agent system can further estimate the user's emotions and dynamically change task priorities based on those emotions. For example, if the user is tired, it can postpone less important tasks and prioritize easier ones. Conversely, if the user is highly motivated, it can prioritize more important tasks. Furthermore, if the user is anxious, it can prioritize urgent tasks. This allows for efficient task management by dynamically changing task priorities according to the user's emotions.
[0115] The AI agent system can further analyze a user's past task completion history and predict task completion. For example, it can analyze how long it took a user to complete tasks in the past and provide an estimated completion time for the current task. It can also predict the likelihood of completing the current task based on past task completion rates. Furthermore, it can analyze past task completion patterns and optimize task priorities. This allows users to manage tasks efficiently while referring to task completion predictions.
[0116] The AI agent system can further estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way tasks are notified based on those emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, notifications will be made with a gentle sound. If the user is focused, visual notifications can be downplayed and audio notifications can be prioritized. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, urgent tasks can be highlighted and notified. This makes task management more effective by adjusting notification methods according to the user's emotions.
[0117] The AI agent system can also acquire user health data and incorporate it into task management. For example, based on the user's sleep data, it can reduce the workload of tasks if the user is highly fatigued. It can also schedule tasks considering the refresh time after exercise based on the user's exercise data. Furthermore, it can adjust tasks considering the rest time after meals based on the user's meal data. This allows for the optimization of task management according to the user's health condition.
[0118] The AI agent system can further estimate the user's emotions and provide task feedback based on those emotions. For example, if the user is feeling a sense of accomplishment, it can provide positive feedback. If the user is feeling stressed, it can provide encouraging messages. Furthermore, if the user is feeling down, it can provide motivational feedback. In this way, it can support task completion by providing appropriate feedback according to the user's emotions.
[0119] The AI agent system can also be equipped with the ability to synchronize task lists across the user's devices. For example, tasks added by the user on their smartphone can be viewed on their PC or tablet. Furthermore, task progress can be synchronized in real time across devices. It can also provide an optimal display method for each device, allowing users to comfortably manage tasks on any device. This enables users to efficiently manage tasks while using multiple devices.
[0120] The AI agent system can further estimate the user's emotions and report task completion based on those emotions. For example, if the user feels a sense of accomplishment, it can display a congratulatory message upon task completion. If the user is tired, it can display a relaxing message upon task completion. Furthermore, if the user is anxious, it can display a message encouraging a smooth transition to the next task upon task completion. This makes task management more effective by reporting task completion according to the user's emotions.
[0121] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0122] Step 1: The reading unit reads the content of the email. For example, it can read the content of the email using text analysis technology. It can also convert image-formatted emails into text data using OCR technology. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the content read by the reading unit. For example, it analyzes the content of the email using natural language processing technology and identifies important information using keyword extraction technology. Step 3: The extraction unit extracts tasks from the information analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, tasks can be extracted based on importance or deadline, or tasks can be extracted based on highly relevant information. Step 4: The creation unit creates a task list based on the tasks extracted by the extraction unit. For example, it organizes the tasks in a list format and sets task priorities based on importance and deadlines. Step 5: The presentation unit presents the task list created by the creation unit to the user. For example, it displays the task list on the screen and notifies the user of the task list using a notification function.

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] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0160] As shown in Figure 7, the data processing system 410 includes a data processing device 12 and a robot 414. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0161] The data processing device 12 comprises a computer 22, a database 24, and a communication interface 26. The computer 22 comprises a processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32. The processor 28, RAM 30, and storage 32 are connected to a bus 34. The database 24 and the communication interface 26 are also connected to the bus 34. The communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.
[0162] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0163] The microphone 238 receives voice signals from the user and accepts instructions from the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice signals from the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to the instructions from the processor 46.
[0164] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS image sensor or CCD image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0165] Communication interface 44 is connected to network 54. Communication interfaces 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 via network 54. The exchange of various information between processor 46 and processor 28 using communication interfaces 44 and 26 is performed in a secure manner.
[0166] The controlled object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the robot 414's emotions can be expressed by controlling these motors. The robot 414's facial expressions can also be expressed by controlling the illumination state of the LEDs in its eyes.
[0167] Figure 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Figure 8, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0168] The processor 28 reads a specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 acting as a specific processing unit 290 according to the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.
[0169] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate the user's emotions using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotions. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotions, including but not limited to these examples. Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.
[0170] In robot 414, specific processing is performed by processor 46. A specific program 60 is stored in storage 50. Processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from storage 50 and executes it on RAM 48. The specific processing is achieved by processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on RAM 48. Robot 414 also has data generation model 58 and emotion identification model 59, similar to those of the robot, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0171] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device that has the data generation model 58. Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).
[0172] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the controlled object 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0173] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). 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.
[0174] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but it may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, and the robot 414 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.
[0175] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reading unit, analysis unit, extraction unit, creation unit, and presentation unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reading unit is implemented by the computer 36 of the robot 414 and reads the contents of the email. The analysis unit is implemented by, for example, the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the read contents. The extraction unit is implemented by, for example, the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and extracts tasks from the analyzed contents. The creation unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and creates a task list based on the extracted tasks. The presentation unit is implemented by, for example, the speaker 240 of the robot 414 and presents the created task list to the user. 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.
[0176] Furthermore, the emotion identification model 59, acting as an emotion engine, may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping, which is an emotion map (see Figure 9). Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may also determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.
[0177] Figure 9 shows the emotion map 400, in which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive the emotions are located. Further out of the concentric circles, emotions representing states and actions arising from mental states are located. Emotion is a concept that includes feelings and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are located. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are located. Above and below the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are located. In addition, the emotion of "pleasure" is located on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "displeasure" is located on the lower side. Thus, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions arise, and emotions that are likely to occur simultaneously are mapped close together.
[0178] These emotions are distributed at the 3 o'clock position on the Emotion Map 400, and usually fluctuate between feelings of security and anxiety. In the right half of the Emotion Map 400, situational awareness takes precedence over internal feelings, resulting in a calm impression.
[0179] The inside of the Emotion Map 400 represents inner thoughts, while the outside represents actions. Therefore, the further you go from the outside of the Emotion Map 400, the more visible (expressed in actions) your emotions become.
[0180] Here, human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. Similarly, in robots, cars, and motorcycles, emotions can be created based on various balances, such as posture and battery level. When these balances deviate from the ideal, it results in discomfort, and when they approach the ideal, it results in pleasure. The emotion map can be generated based, for example, on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on a system for analyzing brain physiological signals of speech emotion recognition and emotion, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "response," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map contains emotions belonging to a region called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.
[0181] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is the emotion around the middle of the negative "repentance" and "reflection" on the situation side. In other words, it is when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is the emotion around the positive "desire" on the reaction side. In other words, it is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0182] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple training data sets, which are combinations of user input and emotion values representing each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions located close together have similar values, as shown in the emotion map 900 in Figure 10. Figure 10 shows an example where multiple emotions such as "reassured," "calm," and "confident" have similar emotion values.
[0183] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by a single computer 22. However, the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto, and a distributed processing method for the specific process may be used, which includes computer 22 and multiple other computers.
[0184] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32, but the technology of this disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-temporary storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-temporary storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes specific processing according to the specific processing program 56.
[0185] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.
[0186] Furthermore, it is not necessary to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store the entirety of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; it is acceptable to store only a portion of the specific processing program 56.
[0187] The following types of processors can be used as hardware resources to perform specific processing. Examples of processors include a CPU, a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource to perform specific processing by executing software, i.e., a program. Other examples of processors include dedicated electrical circuits, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices), or ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), which have circuit configurations specifically designed to perform specific processing. All of these processors have built-in or connected memory, and all of them perform specific processing by using memory.
[0188] The hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of one of these various processors, or it may consist of a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Alternatively, the hardware resource that performs a specific process may consist of a single processor.
[0189] Examples of configurations using a single processor include, firstly, a configuration in which one or more CPUs and software are combined to form a single processor, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that performs a specific process. Secondly, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system, including multiple hardware resources that perform a specific process, on a single IC chip, as exemplified by SoCs (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above types of processors as hardware resources.
[0190] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can more specifically utilize electrical circuits that combine circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. Also, the specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps can be deleted, new steps added, or the processing order rearranged, as long as it does not deviate from the main purpose.
[0191] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

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.
