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 email management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that utilizes a generating AI agent to achieve efficient and effective email processing in the modern business environment. This email management system has a function to analyze the content of emails and automatically set priorities based on urgency and importance. As a result, important emails are notified immediately, and low-priority emails are listed. For example, emails regarding urgent matters are notified immediately, and routine communication emails can be checked later. Next, it has an information gathering function that automatically searches for relevant past emails and documents based on the content of the email and provides links. As a result, when a project-related email is received, relevant materials are immediately presented, enabling efficient information gathering. For example, past meeting records and related documents are automatically searched and links are provided. Furthermore, it has a database linkage function that links with internal databases and CRM systems and automatically displays customer purchase history and inquiry history. As a result, customer support is provided quickly and accurately. For example, when an inquiry email is received from a customer, past purchase history and inquiry history are automatically displayed, enabling a quick response. It also has a task management function that automatically generates tasks based on the content of emails and adds them to a task management tool. As a result, the progress of tasks can be tracked and reminders can be sent. For example, tasks requested via email are automatically generated, added to the task management tool, and reminders are sent as deadlines approach. Finally, it includes an information sharing function to share information with stakeholders and carry out preliminary preparations such as proposals and internal coordination. This makes email response status and task progress visible and shareable. For example, it enables smooth information sharing within project teams and efficient work execution. In this way, an email management system utilizing a generation AI agent can dramatically improve business productivity through its functions of email prioritization, information gathering, database integration, task management, and information sharing. As a result, the email management system can efficiently handle everything from receiving emails to generating, managing, and tracking tasks.

[0029] The email management system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, a generation unit, a management unit, and a tracking unit. The collection unit receives emails. The collection unit can receive emails in various formats, such as text emails, HTML emails, and emails with attachments. The collection unit retrieves emails from a mail server and stores them in the system. The collection unit can also estimate the user's emotions when receiving emails and adjust the timing of email collection based on the estimated emotions. For example, if a user is feeling stressed, the collection frequency of emails is reduced, and only important emails are prioritized. The analysis unit analyzes the content of emails received by the collection unit. The analysis unit analyzes the content of emails using methods such as text analysis, emotion analysis, and keyword extraction. The analysis unit can automatically set priorities based on the urgency and importance of emails. For example, emails concerning urgent matters are notified immediately, while routine communication emails can be reviewed later. The generation unit automatically generates tasks based on the email content analyzed by the analysis unit. The generation unit can generate various types of tasks, such as project tasks, daily work tasks, and urgent tasks. The generation unit can automatically generate tasks based on email content and add them to the task management tool. The management unit adds the tasks generated by the generation unit to the management tool. The management unit manages tasks using methods such as task prioritization, progress tracking, and resource allocation. The management unit can integrate with internal databases and CRM systems to automatically display customer purchase and inquiry history. The tracking unit tracks the progress of tasks managed by the management unit and sends reminders. The tracking unit tracks task progress using methods such as progress monitoring and reminder sending timing. The tracking unit tracks task progress and can send reminders for tasks nearing their deadlines. This allows the email management system to efficiently handle everything from receiving emails to task generation, management, and tracking.

[0030] The collection unit receives emails. The collection unit can receive emails in various formats, such as text emails, HTML emails, and emails with attachments. Specifically, it retrieves emails from mail servers using protocols such as POP3 and IMAP and stores them within the system. This allows users to manage their emails centrally. Furthermore, the collection unit can estimate the user's emotions upon receiving emails and adjust the timing of email collection based on the estimated emotions. For example, if a user is stressed, the collection frequency is reduced, prioritizing the collection of only important emails. Emotion estimation involves analyzing data such as the user's past email content, reply speed, and email reading time, and using AI to estimate the user's emotional state. This reduces the user's burden and enables efficient email management. In addition, the collection unit has a spam filtering function that can automatically filter out unwanted emails. Spam filtering utilizes technologies such as Bayesian filtering, blacklists, and whitelists. This allows users to focus on important emails. The collection unit can also analyze email metadata (sender, recipient, subject, date and time, etc.) to classify and tag emails. This allows users to efficiently search and organize their emails.

[0031] The analysis unit analyzes the content of emails received by the collection unit. The analysis unit uses methods such as text analysis, sentiment analysis, and keyword extraction to analyze email content. Specifically, it uses natural language processing (NLP) techniques to analyze email text and extract important information. Sentiment analysis uses algorithms to identify positive, negative, and neutral sentiment in the text. This allows for automatic prioritization based on the urgency and importance of emails. For example, emails concerning urgent matters are notified immediately, while routine communication emails can be reviewed later. The analysis unit can analyze not only email content but also the content of attachments. For example, it can convert the content of PDF and Word documents into text and extract important information. Furthermore, the analysis unit can evaluate the relevance of emails based on sender and recipient information and group related emails. This allows users to quickly see relevant emails. The analysis unit can learn from email content using AI and improve analysis accuracy based on user preferences and behavioral patterns. This enables the analysis unit to provide users with the most important information quickly and accurately.

[0032] The generation unit automatically generates tasks based on the email content analyzed by the analysis unit. The generation unit can generate various types of tasks, such as project tasks, daily work tasks, and urgent tasks. Specifically, it automatically extracts information such as task title, deadline, assignee, and priority from the email content and adds it to the task management tool. The generation unit can automatically generate tasks based on email content and add them to the task management tool. For example, if an email related to a project is received, the generation unit analyzes the email content and automatically generates project tasks. If an email related to daily work is received, it generates daily work tasks, and if an email related to an urgent matter is received, it generates urgent tasks. The generation unit can use AI to analyze email content and improve the accuracy of task generation. This eliminates the need for users to manually create tasks, allowing for efficient task management. Furthermore, the generation unit can automatically set task dependencies and priorities. This allows users to grasp the progress of tasks at a glance and proceed with tasks efficiently. The generation unit can continuously improve its task generation algorithm based on user feedback, achieving more accurate task generation.

[0033] The management department adds tasks generated by the generation department to management tools. The management department manages tasks using methods such as task prioritization, progress tracking, and resource allocation. Specifically, it sets task priorities to ensure that important tasks are processed first. For progress tracking, it uses tools such as Gantt charts and Kanban boards to visually understand the progress of tasks. For resource allocation, it assigns the appropriate person to each task and ensures optimal resource distribution. The management department can integrate with internal databases and CRM systems to automatically display customer purchase history and inquiry history. This allows for understanding the background information of tasks and enabling more appropriate responses. Furthermore, the management department can monitor task progress in real time and reassign tasks or change priorities as needed. This prevents task delays and enables efficient task management. Based on user feedback, the management department can continuously improve the task management algorithm to achieve more effective task management. As a result, the management department can efficiently manage the entire process from task generation to completion and improve the overall system performance.

[0034] The tracking unit tracks the progress of tasks managed by the management unit and sends reminders. The tracking unit tracks task progress using methods such as monitoring progress and timing reminder sending. Specifically, it monitors task progress in real time and sends reminders for tasks approaching their deadlines. Reminders are sent via methods such as email, SMS, and push notifications to inform users of task deadlines. The tracking unit can track task progress and send reminders for tasks approaching their deadlines. This allows users to always be aware of task progress and meet deadlines. Furthermore, the tracking unit can adjust the content and timing of reminders according to the task progress. For example, it can send frequent reminders for important tasks and reminders at appropriate intervals for routine tasks. Based on user feedback, the tracking unit can continuously improve its reminder sending algorithm to achieve more effective reminder delivery. This allows the tracking unit to efficiently track the progress of tasks and support users in completing tasks on time.

[0035] The analysis unit can automatically set priorities based on the urgency and importance of emails. For example, the analysis unit can evaluate urgency and set priorities based on the importance of the email content and sender. For example, emails regarding urgent matters are notified immediately, while routine communication emails can be reviewed later. The analysis unit can also evaluate importance and set priorities based on the email content and the sender's job title. For example, emails from superiors are given a high priority, while emails from colleagues are given a low priority. This allows for the rapid processing of important emails by automatically setting email priorities. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can set priorities using an AI model that takes email content as input and outputs urgency and importance.

[0036] The analysis unit can automatically search for relevant past emails and documents based on the email content and provide links. For example, the analysis unit can search for relevant past emails and documents based on keyword matching or content similarity. For example, if a project-related email is received, past meeting records and related documents will be automatically searched and links will be provided. The analysis unit can also automatically search for relevant documents based on the email content and provide links. For example, technical literature and research papers related to the email content will be automatically searched and links will be provided. This enables efficient information gathering by automatically searching for relevant past emails and documents and providing links. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or without generative AI. For example, the analysis unit can collect information using a generative AI model that takes email content as input and outputs links to relevant past emails and documents.

[0037] The management department can integrate with internal databases and CRM systems to automatically display customer purchase and inquiry history. For example, the management department can integrate with internal databases such as customer databases and product databases to automatically display customer purchase history. For instance, when a customer sends an inquiry email, past purchase history is automatically displayed, enabling a quick response. The management department can also integrate with CRM systems to automatically display customer inquiry history. For example, when a customer sends an inquiry email, past inquiry history is automatically displayed, enabling an accurate response. This allows for quick and accurate customer service by automatically displaying customer purchase and inquiry history. Some or all of the above processes in the management department may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the management department can use an AI model that takes customer emails as input and outputs purchase and inquiry history to handle customer inquiries.

This allows for tracking task progress and sending reminders for tasks nearing their deadlines, thereby preventing task delays. Some or all of the above processing in the tracking unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the tracking unit can send reminders using an AI model that takes task progress as input and outputs reminders.

[0040] The management department can generate dashboards to visually display task progress. For example, the management department can visually display task progress using graphs and charts. For example, it can display progress using color coding based on task priority. The management department can also update task progress in real time to provide the latest information. For example, it can monitor task progress in real time and update the dashboard according to the progress. This allows for a quick grasp of the task status by visually displaying task progress. Some or all of the above processes in the management department may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or not. For example, the management department can generate dashboards using a generative AI model that takes task progress as input and outputs dashboards.

[0041] The management department can share information with stakeholders and carry out preliminary preparations such as proposals and internal coordination. For example, the management department can automatically notify stakeholders of the progress of tasks and share information. For example, it can notify stakeholders of the progress of tasks via email or chat tools. The management department can also automatically generate proposals and materials for internal coordination and provide them to stakeholders. For example, it can automatically extract the necessary information based on the proposal format and generate the proposal. Furthermore, the management department can propose the next steps based on the progress of tasks and notify stakeholders. For example, it can analyze the progress of tasks and propose the next actions to be taken. This improves the efficiency of operations by sharing information with stakeholders and carrying out preliminary preparations such as proposals and internal coordination. Some or all of the above processes in the management department may be carried out using, for example, generative AI, or not using generative AI. For example, the management department can generate materials using a generative AI model that takes the progress of tasks as input and outputs proposals and materials for internal coordination.

[0042] The collection unit can analyze the user's past email reception history and select the optimal collection method. For example, the collection unit can analyze the time periods in which the user frequently received emails in the past and prioritize collecting emails from those times. For example, it can analyze the characteristics of emails that the user previously deemed important and prioritize collecting emails with similar characteristics. The collection unit can also prioritize collecting emails from specific senders based on the user's past email reception history. In this way, the optimal collection method can be selected by analyzing the user's past email reception history. Some or all of the above processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or without generative AI. For example, the collection unit can select a collection method using a generative AI model that takes the user's past email reception history as input and outputs the optimal collection method.

[0043] The collection unit can filter emails based on the user's current projects and areas of interest during collection. For example, the collection unit can prioritize collecting emails related to projects the user is currently working on. For example, it can prioritize collecting emails containing keywords related to the user's areas of interest. The collection unit can also filter emails based on specific project tags set by the user and prioritize collecting related emails. This allows for the priority collection of highly relevant emails by filtering emails based on the user's current projects and areas of interest. Some or all of the above processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or without generative AI. For example, the collection unit can filter emails using a generative AI model that takes the user's projects and areas of interest as input and outputs filtered emails.

[0044] The collection unit can prioritize collecting emails that are highly relevant, taking into account the user's geographical location information. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the collection unit will prioritize collecting emails related to that region. For example, if the user is on a business trip, the collection unit will prioritize collecting emails related to the destination. The collection unit can also prioritize collecting emails related to home if the user is at home. By prioritizing the collection of highly relevant emails while considering the user's geographical location information, important information for the user can be obtained quickly. Some or all of the above processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or without generative AI. For example, the collection unit can collect emails using a generative AI model that takes the user's geographical location information as input and outputs highly relevant emails.

[0045] The collection unit can analyze a user's social media activity when collecting emails and collect relevant emails. For example, the collection unit can prioritize collecting emails related to topics mentioned by the user on social media. For example, it can prioritize collecting emails from accounts that the user follows. The collection unit can also prioritize collecting emails related to groups or events that the user participates in. In this way, relevant emails can be prioritized by analyzing the user's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the collection unit may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or not using generative AI. For example, the collection unit can collect emails using a generative AI model that takes the user's social media activity as input and outputs relevant emails.

[0046] The analysis unit can adjust the level of detail in its email analysis based on the importance of the email. For example, it can analyze high-importance emails in detail and provide all the information, while analyzing low-importance emails concisely and providing only the key points. It can also analyze urgent emails immediately and provide prompt notifications. This allows for quick identification of important information by adjusting the level of detail in the analysis based on the importance of the email. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.

[0132] [Second Embodiment] Figure 3 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 210 according to the second embodiment.

[0133] As shown in Figure 3, the data processing system 210 includes a data processing device 12 and smart glasses 214. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.

[0134] 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.

[0135] The smart glasses 214 include a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, and a communication interface 44. 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, and camera 42 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0136] 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.

[0137] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0138] 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.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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.

[0142] In the smart glasses 214, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific processing program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific processing program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific processing program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific processing program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The smart glasses 214 also have 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.

[0143] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58.

Also, the data processing device 12 may be a server device or a terminal device owned by the user (for example, a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.).

[0144] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart glasses 214. In the smart glasses 214, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 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.

[0145] 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.

[0146] The data processing system 210 according to the second embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment.

[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.

[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.

[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 collection unit, analysis unit, generation unit, management unit, and tracking unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit is implemented by the computer 36 of the robot 414, which retrieves emails from the mail server and stores them in the system. The analysis unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the content of emails and automatically sets priorities based on urgency and importance. The generation unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which automatically generates tasks based on the analyzed email content. The management unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which adds the generated tasks to a management tool and performs prioritization and progress management. The tracking unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which tracks the progress of tasks and sends reminders. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.

[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.

[0198] All documents, patent applications, and technical standards described herein are incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual document, patent application, and technical standard were specifically and individually noted to be incorporated by reference.
