[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 obtains processing results (such as prediction results) using the data generation model 58 by communicating with the server device having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example of form 1) An AI agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that efficiently supports a user's objective of visiting various places according to a specific theme. In this system, the user sets a theme they want to visit and inputs it into the AI ​​agent. Next, the AI ​​agent comprehensively determines the user's current date and time, work schedule, realistic travel distance and means of transportation, budget, etc., and proposes a visit plan. For example, it can handle a wide range of themes such as Japanese castles, dam card distribution locations, non-chain ramen restaurants, and all JR train stations. The AI ​​agent tracks the user's progress and introduces other users pursuing the same theme. For example, the user sets a theme they want to visit. For example, the theme is "I want to visit Japanese castles." This theme is input into the AI ​​agent. Next, the AI ​​agent comprehensively determines the user's current date and time, work schedule, realistic travel distance and means of transportation, budget, etc., and proposes a visit plan. For example, it can suggest castles the user can visit on weekends, or it can create an efficient travel plan by linking it with public transportation timetables and accommodation information. Furthermore, the AI ​​agent tracks the user's progress. It records the places the user has visited, lists unvisited places, and suggests the next destination. This makes it easier for users to track their progress toward their goals and maintain motivation. The AI ​​agent also introduces other users pursuing the same theme, enabling them to exchange information and make joint visits, fostering community building and information sharing. This system allows users to efficiently take action to fully complete their theme and maximize their travel enjoyment. In this way, the AI ​​agent system efficiently supports users in their objectives of visiting various locations according to a specific theme.

[0029] The AI ​​agent system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a proposal unit, a tracking unit, and a referral unit. The reception unit allows the user to set a theme they wish to visit. For example, the user can set a theme such as "I want to visit Japanese castles." The proposal unit proposes a visit plan based on the theme received by the reception unit. The proposal unit proposes a visit plan by comprehensively considering factors such as the user's current date and time, work schedule, realistic travel distance and means of transportation, and budget. For example, the proposal unit may suggest castles the user can visit on weekends, or it may create an efficient travel plan by linking public transport timetables and accommodation information. The tracking unit tracks the user's progress based on the visit plan proposed by the proposal unit. For example, the tracking unit records places the user has visited, lists unvisited places, and suggests the next destination. This makes it easier for the user to understand their progress toward achieving their goals and maintain motivation. The referral unit introduces other users pursuing the same theme based on the progress tracked by the tracking unit. The referral unit supports users in exchanging information and conducting joint visits. This allows users to exchange information and conduct joint visits, promoting community formation and information sharing. As a result, the AI ​​agent system according to this embodiment can efficiently support users in their objectives of visiting various locations according to a specific theme.

[0030] The reception desk allows users to set themes for their visits. For example, a user might set a theme such as "I want to visit Japanese castles." The reception desk receives input from users through a user interface. The user interface is designed to allow theme setting in multiple ways, including voice input, text input, and selection from multiple options. For example, speech recognition technology can be used to convert what the user says into text and set it as a theme. It also has a function that automatically suggests theme candidates based on past visit history and the user's interests. This makes it easy for users to set themes and allows for smooth system usage. Furthermore, the reception desk can refer to the user's profile information and past visit history to suggest themes that are best suited to each individual user. For example, it can suggest historical sites to users interested in history, and national parks and scenic spots to users who like nature. This allows users to set themes that match their interests and increases their satisfaction with their visit plans.

[0031] The Proposal Department proposes visit plans based on themes received by the Reception Department. The Proposal Department considers factors such as the user's current date and time, work schedule, realistic travel distance and mode of transport, and budget to propose a visit plan. Specifically, the Proposal Department uses AI to analyze the user's schedule and budget to calculate the optimal destinations and routes. For example, it can suggest castles the user can visit on weekends, or integrate public transport timetables and accommodation information to create an efficient travel plan. The AI ​​prioritizes suggesting destinations the user prefers based on their past visit history and ratings. It also takes weather and event information into consideration to create a plan that maximizes the user's experience at their destination. Furthermore, the Proposal Department supports users in booking activities and sightseeing spots in advance. For example, it can make reservations for popular tourist attractions and restaurants, ensuring a smooth visit. This allows the Proposal Department to provide optimal visit plans tailored to the user's needs, enhancing the visit experience.

[0032] The tracking unit tracks the user's progress based on the visit plan proposed by the suggestion unit. For example, the tracking unit records the places the user has visited, lists unvisited places, and suggests the next destination. Specifically, it uses GPS technology to determine the user's current location in real time and checks the status of arrival at visited locations. When the user arrives at a visited location, the visit history is automatically updated, and the next destination is suggested. It also has a function to allow the user to evaluate their experience at visited locations, and based on the evaluation results, it can propose a more accurate next visit plan. Furthermore, the tracking unit checks whether the user is enjoying the activities and sights at visited locations and provides support as needed. For example, if a problem or inconvenience occurs at a visited location, it responds quickly to ensure the user can continue their visit with peace of mind. In this way, the tracking unit can accurately grasp the progress of the user's visit plan and support the visit experience.

[0033] The Referral Department introduces other users pursuing the same theme based on progress tracked by the Tracking Department. The Referral Department supports users in exchanging information and conducting joint visits, for example. Specifically, it matches compatible users based on their visit history and interests, providing opportunities for communication. For instance, it can introduce users who want to visit the same castle, allowing them to jointly plan visits and exchange information. Furthermore, the Referral Department prioritizes privacy protection and security measures to ensure safe interaction among users. For example, it protects users' personal information and implements a system to share information only when necessary. In addition, the Referral Department plans and manages events and community activities to promote interaction among users. For example, it holds online events and offline meetups related to themes, providing opportunities for users to interact directly. This allows the Referral Department to support information exchange and joint visits among users, promoting community building and information sharing.

[0034] The suggestion unit can propose a visit plan by comprehensively considering the user's current date and time, work schedule, realistic travel distance and means of transportation, and budget. For example, the suggestion unit can suggest places that can be visited based on the user's current date and time. For example, the suggestion unit can create a visit plan considering the user's work schedule. The suggestion unit can also propose a visit plan considering the user's realistic travel distance and means of transportation. For example, the suggestion unit can create an efficient travel plan by linking public transport timetables and accommodation information. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can propose a visit plan considering the user's budget. For example, the suggestion unit can suggest destinations that fit the user's budget. This allows for the proposal of an optimal visit plan tailored to the user's situation. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the suggestion unit can input user data into a generative AI and have the generative AI execute the visit plan proposal.

[0035] The tracking unit can record the places the user has visited, list unvisited places, and suggest the next place to visit. For example, the tracking unit can record the places the user has visited in a database. For example, the tracking unit can automatically collect information on the places the user has visited and store it in a database. The tracking unit can also list unvisited places and suggest the next place to visit. For example, the tracking unit can list places the user has not yet visited and suggest them as the next place to visit. This allows for efficient management of the user's visit progress and the suggestion of the next place to visit. Some or all of the above processing in the tracking unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the tracking unit can input the user's visit data into AI and have the AI ​​perform the task of listing unvisited places.

[0036] The integration unit can integrate information on public transportation timetables and accommodations. For example, the integration unit can retrieve public transportation timetables from a database and reflect them in the travel plan. For example, the integration unit can retrieve public transportation timetables in real time and reflect them in the travel plan. The integration unit can also retrieve information on accommodations from a database and reflect it in the travel plan. For example, the integration unit can retrieve information on the availability of accommodations and reflect it in the travel plan. This allows for the creation of efficient travel plans. Some or all of the above processing in the integration unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the integration unit can input public transportation timetable data into AI and have AI perform the task of reflecting it in the travel plan.

[0037] The cost management department can track the costs of each visit and manage the total cost. For example, the cost management department can record the cost of each visit in a database. For example, the cost management department can automatically collect the costs of places visited by the user and store them in the database. The cost management department can also manage the total cost. For example, the cost management department can calculate and manage the total cost based on the user's visit plan. This allows for efficient budget management of the visit plan. Some or all of the above processes in the cost management department may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the cost management department can input the user's cost data into AI and have the AI ​​manage the total cost.

[0038] The report generation unit can generate a visit report after each visit and collect feedback.

Step 4: The referral team refers other users following the same topic based on the progress tracked by the tracking team. The referral team supports users in exchanging information and conducting joint visits, for example. This allows users to exchange information and conduct joint visits, promoting community building and information sharing.

[0069] (Example of form 2) An AI agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that efficiently supports a user's objective of visiting various places according to a specific theme. In this system, the user sets a theme they want to visit and inputs it into the AI ​​agent. Next, the AI ​​agent comprehensively determines the user's current date and time, work schedule, realistic travel distance and means of transportation, budget, etc., and proposes a visit plan. For example, it can handle a wide range of themes such as Japanese castles, dam card distribution locations, non-chain ramen restaurants, and all JR train stations. The AI ​​agent tracks the user's progress and introduces other users pursuing the same theme. For example, the user sets a theme they want to visit. For example, the theme is "I want to visit Japanese castles." This theme is input into the AI ​​agent. Next, the AI ​​agent comprehensively determines the user's current date and time, work schedule, realistic travel distance and means of transportation, budget, etc., and proposes a visit plan. For example, it can suggest castles the user can visit on weekends, or it can create an efficient travel plan by linking it with public transportation timetables and accommodation information. Furthermore, the AI ​​agent tracks the user's progress. It records the places the user has visited, lists unvisited places, and suggests the next destination. This makes it easier for users to track their progress toward their goals and maintain motivation. The AI ​​agent also introduces other users pursuing the same theme, enabling them to exchange information and make joint visits, fostering community building and information sharing. This system allows users to efficiently take action to fully complete their theme and maximize their travel enjoyment. In this way, the AI ​​agent system efficiently supports users in their objectives of visiting various locations according to a specific theme.

[0070] The AI ​​agent system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a proposal unit, a tracking unit, and a referral unit. The reception unit allows the user to set a theme they wish to visit. For example, the user can set a theme such as "I want to visit Japanese castles."

[0141] Figure 4 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart glasses 214. As shown in Figure 4, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing by the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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.).

[0146] 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.

[0147] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of a data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 is input with prompts containing instructions, and inference data such as audio data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing images (e.g., still image data or video data). The data generation model 58 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.

[0166] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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).

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59.

Furthermore, emotion estimation and prediction also include, for example, emotion analysis.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.).

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

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.

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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, proposal unit, tracking unit, and introduction unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which sets the theme the user wishes to visit. The proposal unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which proposes a visit plan by comprehensively determining the user's current date and time, work schedule, travel distance and means of transportation, and budget. The tracking unit is implemented by, for example, the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which tracks the user's progress and records the places visited. The introduction unit is implemented by, for example, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which introduces other users pursuing the same theme. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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."

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.
