This allows for more appropriate classification by adjusting the classification method based on the user's emotions. The estimation of the user's emotions is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. The generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the classification unit may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the classification unit can input user emotion data into the generative AI and have the generative AI adjust the classification method.

[0091] The classification unit can improve the accuracy of classification by considering the interrelationships of expenditure data during classification. For example, the classification unit can group and classify expenditure data belonging to the same category. The classification unit can link and classify expenditure data that belongs to different categories but is related. The classification unit can analyze the interrelationships of expenditure data and apply the optimal classification method. This improves the accuracy of classification by considering the interrelationships of expenditure data. The specific evaluation criteria for interrelationships and methods for improving classification accuracy are set based on data correlation and relevance scores, etc. Some or all of the above processing in the classification unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the classification unit can input the interrelationships of expenditure data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the classification accuracy improvement.

[0092] The classification unit can classify expenditure data while considering the attribute information of the submitter. For example, the classification unit can classify expenditure data based on the submitter's age and gender. The classification unit can classify expenditure data based on the submitter's occupation and income. The classification unit can classify expenditure data based on the submitter's lifestyle and hobbies. This allows for more appropriate classification by considering the attribute information of the expenditure data submitter. The specific types of attribute information and classification methods are set based on age, occupation, income, etc. Some or all of the above processing in the classification unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the classification unit can input the submitter's attribute information into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the classification.

[0093] The classification unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the order in which the classification results are displayed based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the classification unit can display high-importance classification results first. If the user is relaxed, the classification unit can display all classification results equally. If the user is in a hurry, the classification unit can display concise classification results first. This allows for more appropriate classification results to be provided by adjusting the order in which the classification results are displayed based on the user's emotions. The estimation of the user's emotions is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. The generative AI is, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above processing in the classification unit may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the classification unit can input user emotion data into the generative AI and have the generative AI adjust the display order of the classification results.

[0094] The classification unit can perform classification while considering the geographical distribution of expenditure data. For example, the classification unit can classify based on the location where the expenditure data originates. The classification unit can group and classify geographically close expenditure data. The classification unit can analyze geographical trends and apply the optimal classification method. This allows for more appropriate classification by considering the geographical distribution of expenditure data. Specific evaluation criteria and classification methods for geographical distribution are set based on regional expenditure trends and geographical relationships. Some or all of the above processing in the classification unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the classification unit can input the geographical distribution of expenditure data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the classification.

[0095] The classification unit can improve the accuracy of its classification by referring to relevant literature on expenditure data during the classification process. For example, the classification unit can refer to relevant literature on expenditure data to strengthen the basis for its classification. Based on the information in the relevant literature, the classification unit can re-evaluate the categories of expenditure data. The classification unit can incorporate the latest information on relevant literature and update its classification method. This improves the accuracy of classification by referring to relevant literature on expenditure data. The specific methods for referring to relevant literature and improving classification accuracy are set based on criteria for selecting literature and the methods of reference. Some or all of the above processes in the classification unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the classification unit can input relevant literature on expenditure data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the classification accuracy improvement.

[0096] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0097] The data collection unit can adjust its collection method based on the user's health status when collecting user spending data. For example, if a user enters the results of a health checkup, it can prioritize the collection of health-related spending data based on those results. Furthermore, if a user sets a specific health goal, it can collect spending data related to that goal. Additionally, if a user uses a health-related application, data from that application can be collected and integrated with the health-related spending data. This allows for more personalized spending management by collecting spending data based on the user's health status.

[0098] The analytics department can adjust its analysis methods when analyzing user spending data, taking into account the user's life events. For example, if a user experiences a life event such as marriage or childbirth, the analytics department can focus its analysis on spending data related to that event. Similarly, if a user changes jobs or moves, the analytics department can analyze spending data related to those changes in detail. Furthermore, if a user sets a specific goal, the analytics department can analyze spending data toward achieving that goal and evaluate progress. This allows for more appropriate advice to be provided by analyzing spending data based on the user's life events.

[0099] The service provider can tailor advice based on user spending data, taking into account the user's hobbies and interests. For example, if a user spends a lot on a particular hobby, the service can provide money-saving tips and deals related to that hobby. If a user starts a new hobby, the service can analyze spending data related to that hobby and suggest efficient spending methods. Furthermore, if a user prefers certain brands or stores, the service can provide advice related to those brands or stores. This allows for more personalized spending management by providing advice based on the user's hobbies and interests.

[0100] The classification unit can adjust the classification method when classifying user spending data, taking into account the user's family structure. For example, if a user has spending data shared with their family, that data can be classified by family member. Furthermore, if a user has specific family-related spending, such as children's education expenses or family medical expenses, that spending data can be classified into the appropriate category. Additionally, if a user has spending data related to family life events, that data can be prioritized for classification. This allows for more appropriate spending management by classifying spending data based on the user's family structure.

[0101] The data collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust how spending data is collected based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the unit can reduce the collection frequency and collect data when the user is relaxed. If the user is excited, the unit can increase the collection frequency and collect spending data in real time. Furthermore, if the user is depressed, the unit can adjust the collection timing and collect data when the user has recovered. By adjusting how spending data is collected based on the user's emotions, spending data can be collected at a more appropriate time.

[0102] The analytics department can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the presentation of the analysis results based on those estimated emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the analytics department can provide the results using simple, visually easy-to-understand graphs. If the user is relaxed, it can provide a report with detailed data. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can provide a concise report that gets straight to the point. By adjusting the presentation of the analysis results based on the user's emotions, it is possible to provide more appropriate analysis results.

[0103] The service provider can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the content of the advice based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the service provider can suggest simple and easy-to-follow money-saving methods. If the user is relaxed, it can provide more detailed money-saving methods or investment advice. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can provide concise and to-the-point advice. In this way, by adjusting the content of the advice based on the user's emotions, more appropriate advice can be provided.

[0104] The classification unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust how the classification results are displayed based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the classification unit can display the most important classification results first. If the user is relaxed, it can display all classification results equally. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can display the most important classification results first. By adjusting how the classification results are displayed based on the user's emotions, the system can provide more appropriate classification results.

[0105] The data collection unit can estimate the user's emotions and prioritize the spending data to collect based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, less important spending data can be prioritized. If the user is relaxed, all spending data can be collected evenly. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, highly important spending data can be prioritized. In this way, by prioritizing spending data based on the user's emotions, important spending data can be collected preferentially.

[0106] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant data by considering the user's geographical location when collecting user spending data. For example, if a user is in a specific region, it can prioritize the collection of spending data in that region. Similarly, if a user is traveling, it can prioritize the collection of spending data at their travel destination. Furthermore, if a user is at home, it can prioritize the collection of spending data around their home. This allows for the priority collection of highly relevant spending data by considering the user's geographical location.

[0107] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0108] Step 1: The data collection unit collects user spending data. The data collection unit can, for example, collect payment data from cashless payment systems in real time. The data collection unit automatically acquires data from cashless payment systems and stores it as user spending data. The data collection unit can also collect, for example, credit card usage history and bank account transaction history. The data collection unit can configure the data acquisition method and collection frequency. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the spending data collected by the collection unit. For example, the analysis unit can analyze the collected spending data and make future predictions that take into account the user's past spending trends. The analysis unit analyzes the spending data in detail based on the algorithm used and the purpose of the analysis. For example, the analysis unit can use a prediction algorithm to predict the user's future spending. Step 3: The service provider provides personalized advice based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis provider. For example, the service provider can provide users with personalized savings suggestions based on future predictions. The service provider provides useful information to users, such as suggestions for saving methods and investment advice. The service provider can set the content and method of providing the advice. Step 4: The classification unit automatically classifies the expenditure data based on the advice provided by the provision unit. The classification unit can, for example, automatically classify each expenditure into the appropriate category. The classification unit classifies the expenditure data based on the category definition and classification algorithm. The classification unit can, for example, classify the expenditure data into categories such as food expenses, transportation expenses, and entertainment expenses.

[0109] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B 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 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0110] Data generation model 58 is a form of so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (registered trademark) (Internet search).<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> Examples of generative AI include text generation AI, image generation AI, and multimodal generation AI. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network.

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 (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), 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 of the above parts 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.Furthermore, processing performed by AI, including generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by AI, including generative AI.

[0111] Furthermore, the processing performed by the data processing system 10 described above is carried out by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the smart device 14, but it may also be carried out by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the smart device 14. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the smart device 14 or an external device, and the smart device 14 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0112] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, provision unit, and classification unit, is implemented in at least one of the smart device 14 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit acquires data from the cashless payment system via the communication I / F 44 of the smart device 14 and processes it with the processor 46. The analysis unit is implemented in the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the collected expenditure data. The provision unit is implemented in the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and generates personalized advice based on the analysis results.

[0143] 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. In addition, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the headset terminal 314 or an external device, and the headset terminal 314 acquires or collects information necessary for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device.

[0144] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, provision unit, and classification unit, is implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit acquires data from the cashless payment system via the communication I / F 44 of the headset terminal 314 and processes it with the processor 46. The analysis unit is implemented in the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the collected expenditure data.

The classification unit is implemented in the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314 and automatically classifies each expenditure into the appropriate category. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0145] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] The robot 414 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a controlled object 443. The computer 36 includes a processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50. The processor 46, RAM 48, and storage 50 are connected to a bus 52. The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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).

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.).

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, provision unit, and classification unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit acquires data from the cashless payment system via the communication I / F 44 of the robot 414 and processes it with the processor 46. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the collected expenditure data. The provision unit is implemented, for example, by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and generates personalized advice based on the analysis results. The classification unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and automatically classifies each expenditure into the appropriate category. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.

[0162] 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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."

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.
