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 building project management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that receives customer wishes and needs, generates design proposals, estimates costs, procures materials, monitors the construction process, performs final checks, handover, and provides after-sales service. The system begins with the customer communicating their wishes and needs to an AI agent. Next, the generating AI agent automatically generates multiple design proposals, which the customer selects. Subsequently, an automated estimation system makes proposals based on the budget and adjusts the design. Once construction begins, a supply chain management agent procures the necessary materials, and a progress monitoring agent monitors the construction process. After completion, a final check and adjustments are performed, and the project is handed over to the customer. Furthermore, interior design proposals and maintenance services are continuously provided. For example, when a customer communicates their wishes and needs to an AI agent, an interactive AI chatbot is introduced to collect detailed requirements and wishes through dialogue with the customer. The system gathers information about the customer's lifestyle, design preferences, budget, special requirements, etc., through questions and dialogues, and stores it in a database. Next, the generating AI agent automatically generates custom design proposals based on the collected requirements. Multiple design proposals are provided, and VR or AR technology is used to allow the customer to virtually experience and evaluate the designs. Subsequently, a cost calculation algorithm is used to automate real-time cost estimations for each design proposal. Optimization is performed based on the client's budget, proposing appropriate options while maintaining a balance between design and cost. Once construction begins, a supply chain management agent selects and procures the best suppliers of necessary materials, furniture, and equipment. A construction progress monitoring system, integrated with IoT sensors, tracks the construction process in real time, notifying the client and construction team of any anomalies or delays. After completion, final checks and adjustments are performed before handing the home over to the client. Furthermore, personalized service agents are introduced to provide interior design and furniture placement suggestions, home maintenance plans, and more. Even after the client moves in, regular follow-ups and customized lifestyle support services are provided to ensure long-term satisfaction.This allows the construction project management system to generate design proposals based on customer wishes and needs, estimate costs, procure materials, monitor the construction process, perform final checks, hand over the project, and provide after-sales service.
[0029] The building project management system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, a generation unit, an estimation unit, a management unit, a monitoring unit, a handover unit, and a care unit. The reception unit receives customer requests and needs. The reception unit, for example, implements an interactive AI chatbot to collect detailed requirements and requests through dialogue with customers. The generation unit generates design proposals based on the information received by the reception unit. The generation unit, for example, automatically generates custom design proposals based on the collected requirements. The generation unit provides multiple design proposals and uses VR or AR technology to allow customers to virtually experience and evaluate the designs. The estimation unit estimates the cost of the design proposals generated by the generation unit. The estimation unit, for example, automates real-time cost estimation for each design proposal using a cost calculation algorithm. The management unit procures materials based on the costs estimated by the estimation unit. The management unit, for example, selects and procures the best suppliers of necessary materials, furniture, and equipment. The monitoring unit monitors the building process based on the materials procured by the management unit. The monitoring department tracks the construction process in real time using, for example, a construction progress monitoring system linked with IoT sensors, and notifies the customer and construction team of any abnormalities or delays. The handover department performs final checks and adjustments to the construction process monitored by the monitoring department. The handover department performs final checks and adjustments and hands over the property to the customer. The care department provides after-sales care after the handover by the handover department. The care department provides, for example, interior design and furniture placement suggestions, and home maintenance plans. Thus, the construction project management system according to this embodiment can generate design proposals based on the customer's wishes and needs, and perform cost estimation, material procurement, construction process monitoring, final checks, handover, and after-sales care.
[0030] The reception department receives customer requests and needs. For example, the reception department can implement an interactive AI chatbot to collect detailed requirements and requests through dialogue with customers. Specifically, the AI chatbot uses natural language processing technology to understand customer input and asks appropriate questions to collect detailed information such as the customer's desired architectural style, budget, materials to be used, and desired completion date. Furthermore, the AI chatbot can generate responses in real time based on the customer's answers and ask additional questions as needed to gain a more accurate understanding of the customer's needs. For example, if a customer desires a specific design style, the AI chatbot can present images and examples related to that style to help the customer further concretize their preferences. The AI chatbot also stores customer requests in a database for use in subsequent processes. This allows the reception department to efficiently and accurately collect customer needs and smoothly move on to the next step.
[0031] The generation unit generates design proposals based on information received by the reception unit. For example, the generation unit automatically generates custom design proposals based on collected requirements. Specifically, the generation unit uses AI to analyze customer requirements and generate multiple design proposals. The AI learns from past design data and architectural trends to propose the design proposal best suited to the customer's needs. For example, the AI selects the optimal layout and materials based on the customer's desired architectural style and budget, and generates a design proposal. The generation unit also uses VR and AR technology to allow customers to virtually experience and evaluate the designs. By wearing a VR headset, customers can experience the generated design proposals in a virtual space and walk around the interior of the actual building. This allows customers to check the details of the design proposals and request revisions or changes as needed. Furthermore, the generation unit can reflect customer feedback in real time and update the design proposals. This enables the generation unit to provide the optimal design proposal that meets customer needs and improve customer satisfaction.
[0032] The Estimation Department estimates the cost of the design proposals generated by the Generation Department. The Estimation Department automates real-time cost estimation for each design proposal, for example, using a cost calculation algorithm. Specifically, the Estimation Department meticulously calculates the costs of materials, labor, and equipment included in the design proposal to estimate the total cost. The cost calculation algorithm provides accurate cost estimates based on the latest market prices and historical project data. For example, the algorithm calculates the cost of each item, taking into account the type and quantity of materials used, and the time and labor required for construction. The Estimation Department also compares costs across multiple design proposals to provide the customer with the best option. Furthermore, the Estimation Department visually displays the cost estimation results in an easy-to-understand format for the customer. This allows the Estimation Department to provide customers with highly transparent cost information and support budget management.
[0033] The management department procures materials based on costs estimated by the estimation department. For example, the management department selects and procures the most suitable suppliers of necessary materials, furniture, and equipment. Specifically, based on the estimation results, the management department creates a list of necessary materials and equipment and selects the most suitable suppliers. The management department considers supplier evaluations and past transaction history to select suppliers that meet conditions such as quality, cost, and delivery time. Furthermore, to streamline the procurement process, the management department implements an electronic procurement system, automating the process from order placement to delivery. This allows the management department to reduce procurement costs and shorten delivery times. In addition, the management department verifies the quality of procured materials and equipment, conducting inspections and tests as needed. This ensures that the management department reliably procures the necessary materials and equipment for construction projects, allowing the project to progress smoothly.
[0034] The monitoring department monitors the construction process based on materials procured by the management department. For example, the monitoring department tracks the construction process in real time using a construction progress monitoring system linked with IoT sensors, and notifies the customer and construction team of any anomalies or delays. Specifically, the monitoring department monitors the progress of construction and environmental conditions in real time through IoT sensors installed at the construction site. For example, the sensors collect data such as temperature, humidity, vibration, and location information and transmit it to a central monitoring system. The monitoring department analyzes this data to understand the progress of construction and immediately notifies relevant parties if any anomalies or delays occur. Furthermore, the monitoring department has introduced real-time chat and video conferencing systems to facilitate communication with the construction team and to resolve problems early. This allows the monitoring department to efficiently monitor the construction process and ensure the smooth progress of the project.
[0035] The Handover Department performs the final checks and adjustments to the construction process, which has been monitored by the Supervision Department. For example, the Handover Department performs the final checks and adjustments and hands over the building to the customer. Specifically, in the final stages of the construction project, the Handover Department conducts detailed inspections to confirm that the construction has been carried out according to the design. For example, they check the building's structure, interior, and the operation of equipment to ensure that quality standards are met. The Handover Department also conducts final confirmations with the customer and makes adjustments and corrections as necessary. For example, if the customer is dissatisfied with a particular part, they will correct or improve that part to increase customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the Handover Department provides explanations on how to use and maintain the building, supporting the customer so that they can use their new building with peace of mind. In this way, the Handover Department can ensure quality in the final stages of the construction project and hand over the building to the customer in a satisfactory manner.
[0036] The Care Department provides after-sales care following the handover by the Handover Department. For example, the Care Department offers interior design and furniture placement suggestions, and home maintenance plans. Specifically, the Care Department proposes interior designs tailored to the customer's lifestyle and preferences, and advises on the placement of furniture and decorations. The Care Department also creates long-term maintenance plans for the building and provides schedules for regular inspections and repairs. For example, they conduct regular checks of various parts of the building, such as roof and exterior wall inspections, and maintenance of plumbing and electrical equipment, and respond quickly if problems arise. Furthermore, the Care Department responds to customer inquiries and requests, providing after-sales service. For instance, if a customer has questions about how to use a particular piece of equipment, the Care Department provides detailed explanations and on-site support as needed. In this way, the Care Department helps customers live comfortably in their new homes and improves long-term customer satisfaction.
[0037] The reception department can implement an interactive AI chatbot to collect detailed requirements and preferences from customers through dialogue. For example, the reception department can use natural language processing technology to engage with customers and gather detailed requirements and preferences. Furthermore, the reception department can use a dialogue management system to ensure smooth interactions with customers.

[0175] The microphone 238 receives voice commands and other instructions from the user by receiving voice signals. 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.
[0176] 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).
[0177] 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.
[0178] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The headset terminal 314 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0182] 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.).
[0183] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0184] 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.
[0185] The data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 310 is performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314, but may also be performed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314.

[0186] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, generation unit, estimation unit, management unit, monitoring unit, handover unit, and care unit, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314 and receives customer requests and needs through an interactive AI chatbot.

[0187] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0188] 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.

[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.
[0195] 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.
[0196] 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.
[0197] Storage 32 stores the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59.

[0198] 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.
[0199] 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.).
[0200] 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.
[0201] 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).

[0202] 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.
[0203] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception, generation, estimation, management, monitoring, handover, and care departments, is implemented by, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing device 12. For example, the reception department is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which receives customer requests and needs through an interactive AI chatbot. The generation department is implemented by, for example, the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, which automatically generates custom design proposals based on collected requirements.

The care section is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414, which provides interior design and furniture placement suggestions, home maintenance plans, etc. The correspondence between each section and the device or control unit is not limited to the examples described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0204] 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.
[0205] 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.
[0206] 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.
[0207] 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.
[0208] 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.
[0209] 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."
[0210] 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.
[0211] 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.
[0212] 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.
[0213] 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.
[0214] 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.
[0215] 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.
[0216] 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.
[0217] 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.
[0218] 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.
[0219] 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.
