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) The content navigation agent system according to an embodiment of the present invention is an AI system that instantly provides visitors with the information they seek and makes improvement suggestions to site administrators for unresolved issues. This system improves the user experience by understanding user questions and presenting appropriate content. Specifically, it analyzes user questions using natural language processing and provides optimal content using machine learning. Furthermore, it improves the quality of service by continuously learning from user behavior data. This system has the effect of reducing the response time to user inquiries by 50% and improving site dwell time and engagement. In addition, it can streamline the content improvement work of administrators. For example, it improves the overall quality of the site by instantly providing the information users seek and making concrete improvement suggestions to administrators. The target is companies that provide digital content, from small and medium-sized enterprises to large corporations, which face the challenge of difficulty in providing appropriate content and resulting in low user satisfaction. To solve this problem, the content navigation agent utilizes natural language processing and machine learning to respond to user questions and provide optimal content. In terms of market size, the online content platform market is estimated to be approximately 10 trillion yen, and the market size of digital content providers that can initially implement the system is estimated to be approximately 2 trillion yen. The acceleration of digitalization and the evolution of AI technology are creating market demand, aiming to improve user engagement and the quality of digital content. This allows content navigation agent systems to enhance the user experience and improve the overall quality of websites.
[0029] The content navigation agent system according to this embodiment comprises an analysis unit, a provision unit, a suggestion unit, and a collection unit. The analysis unit analyzes the user's question. The analysis unit analyzes the user's question using, for example, natural language processing technology. Natural language processing technology includes morphological analysis, grammatical analysis, semantic analysis, etc. For example, the analysis unit uses morphological analysis to break down the user's question into words and grammatical analysis to analyze the sentence structure. The analysis unit can also understand the meaning of the user's question using semantic analysis. The provision unit provides the optimal content based on the question analyzed by the analysis unit. The provision unit provides the optimal content using, for example, machine learning technology. Machine learning technology includes deep learning, support vector machines, etc. For example, the provision unit uses deep learning to select the optimal content for the user's question. The provision unit can also evaluate the relevance of content using a support vector machine. The suggestion unit makes improvement suggestions to the administrator based on the content provided by the provision unit. The suggestion unit makes, for example, specific improvement suggestions to the administrator. Specific improvement suggestions include the type of suggestion and evaluation criteria for the suggestion. For example, the proposal unit can make suggestions such as improving the site design, adding or modifying content, etc. The data collection unit collects user behavior data. For example, the data collection unit collects user click data, browsing history, purchase history, etc. The data collection unit can use this data to perform analysis to improve the quality of the service. As a result, the content navigation agent system according to the embodiment can improve the user experience by analyzing user questions, providing optimal content, and making improvement suggestions to administrators.
[0030] The analysis unit analyzes the user's question. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's question using natural language processing techniques. Natural language processing techniques include morphological analysis, grammatical analysis, and semantic analysis. Specifically, morphological analysis is used to break down the user's question into words and identify the part of speech of each word. Grammatical analysis analyzes the structure of the sentence and identifies grammatical elements such as subject, predicate, and object. Semantic analysis understands the meaning of the entire sentence and grasps the user's intent. For example, in response to the question "Tell me about nearby restaurants," the analysis unit breaks it down into the words "nearby," "restaurant," and "tell me," analyzing "nearby" as a modifier indicating location, "restaurant" as a noun, and "tell me" as a verb. Furthermore, semantic analysis helps understand that the user is looking for nearby restaurants. Based on these analysis results, the analysis unit accurately grasps the intent of the user's question and provides information to derive an appropriate answer. The analysis unit can also consider the context of the user's question and past question history to perform more accurate analysis. For example, if a user has previously searched for "Italian restaurants," the analytics unit can take that information into consideration and prioritize suggesting Italian restaurants in response to the current question. This allows the analytics unit to accurately analyze the user's question and provide appropriate information that meets the user's needs.
[0031] The content delivery unit provides optimal content based on the questions analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the content delivery unit uses machine learning techniques to provide optimal content. These machine learning techniques include deep learning and support vector machines. Specifically, deep learning is used to select the most suitable content for a user's question. Deep learning models have the ability to learn from large amounts of data and generate optimal answers to user questions. For example, if a user asks, "Can you recommend some movies?", the content delivery unit uses a deep learning model to select movies that match the user's preferences based on their past viewing history and rating data. Furthermore, the content delivery unit can use support vector machines to evaluate the relevance of content. Support vector machines learn boundaries for classifying data points and predict which category new data points belong to. This allows the content delivery unit to provide the most relevant content to the user's question. In addition, the content delivery unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the quality of the content it provides. For example, when a user rates the provided content, the content delivery unit can learn from that rating and incorporate it into future content delivery. This allows the service provider to deliver optimal content tailored to user needs and improve user satisfaction.
[0032] The proposal department makes improvement suggestions to administrators based on the content provided by the service provider. For example, the proposal department makes specific improvement suggestions to administrators. These specific suggestions include the type of suggestion and the criteria for evaluating it. For example, the proposal department can suggest improvements to the site design, or the addition or modification of content. The proposal department analyzes user feedback and behavioral data obtained from the service provider to identify areas for improvement. For example, if a user gives a low rating to a particular piece of content, there may be a problem with the content or how it is displayed. The proposal department can identify these problems and propose specific solutions to administrators. The proposal department also analyzes user behavioral data to determine which content is most popular and which is viewed less frequently. This allows administrators to develop specific strategies to further enhance popular content and improve less viewed content. Furthermore, the proposal department can understand user needs and trends and propose the addition of new content or updates to existing content. This enables the proposal department to provide administrators with specific and actionable improvement suggestions, thereby improving the overall quality of the system.
[0033] The data collection unit collects user behavior data. For example, it collects user click data, browsing history, and purchase history. Specifically, it collects data such as which links users clicked, which pages they viewed, and which products they purchased. This data is important for understanding user interests and preferences. The data collection unit can use this data to perform analysis to improve the quality of services. For example, by analyzing user click data, the unit can identify which content is most popular. By analyzing browsing history, it can understand what kind of content users are interested in. Furthermore, by analyzing purchase history, it can identify what kind of products users prefer to buy. This allows the data collection unit to develop specific strategies for improving service quality based on user behavior data. The data collection unit centrally manages this data and can collaborate with other systems and departments as needed. For example, collected data is stored on a cloud server and made accessible to the analysis and service departments. Adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection allows for flexible responses to specific situations and conditions. This enables the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.
[0034] The analysis unit can analyze user questions using natural language processing. For example, the analysis unit can break down user questions into words using morphological analysis. For example, the analysis unit can also analyze sentence structure using grammatical analysis. Furthermore, the analysis unit can understand the meaning of user questions using semantic analysis. In this way, user questions can be accurately analyzed by utilizing natural language processing. Some or all of the above-described processes in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user question into a generative AI, which can then analyze the question.
[0035] The content provider can provide optimal content using machine learning. For example, the provider can use deep learning to select the most suitable content for a user's question. For example, the provider can also use support vector machines to evaluate the relevance of content. Furthermore, the provider can use machine learning algorithms to provide content based on the user's interests and past behavior history. In this way, machine learning can be used to provide the user with the most suitable content. Some or all of the above processes in the content provider may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or not using generative AI. For example, the provider can input the user's question and past behavior history into a generative AI, which can then select the most suitable content.
[0036] The proposal department can make specific improvement suggestions to administrators. For example, the proposal department may suggest improvements to the site design, or add or modify content. For example, the proposal department can analyze user behavior data to identify areas that need improvement. The proposal department can also make specific improvement suggestions based on user feedback. This allows for an improvement in the quality of the site by providing specific improvement suggestions to administrators. Some or all of the above processes in the proposal department may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or not using a generative AI. For example, the proposal department can input user behavior data into a generative AI, which can then generate improvement suggestions.
[0037] The data collection unit can collect user behavior data and use it to improve the quality of the service. For example, the data collection unit collects user click data, browsing history, purchase history, etc. For example, the data collection unit analyzes user behavior data to identify areas for service improvement. The data collection unit can also personalize the service based on user behavior data. This allows for the collection of user behavior data and improvement of service quality.

[0038] The analysis unit can improve the accuracy of its analysis by referring to the user's past question history when analyzing a question. For example, the analysis unit can analyze patterns in questions the user has asked in the past and respond quickly to similar questions. For example, the analysis unit can estimate the user's knowledge level on a particular topic from the user's past question history and perform an appropriate analysis. The analysis unit can also prioritize analyzing and re-provide answers to questions the user was unable to resolve in the past. This improves the accuracy of the analysis by referring to the user's past question history. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's past question history into a generative AI, which can then perform analysis to improve the accuracy of the analysis.
[0039] The analysis unit can perform analysis while considering the user's current context when analyzing a question. For example, if the user is visiting a specific page, the analysis unit will prioritize analyzing information related to that page. For example, if the user is asking a question at night, the analysis unit will provide information related to nighttime. The analysis unit can also analyze information related to an event if the user is asking a question during a specific event. This allows for the provision of more relevant analysis results by considering the user's current context. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's current context data into a generative AI, which can then perform the analysis.
[0040] The analysis unit can prioritize providing highly relevant analysis results by considering the user's geographical location information when analyzing a question. For example, if the user is in a specific region, the analysis unit will prioritize providing information related to that region. For example, if the user is traveling, the analysis unit will prioritize providing information related to the travel destination. The analysis unit can also prioritize providing information related to a specific city if the user is in that city. This allows for the provision of more relevant analysis results by considering the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, a generative AI, or without a generative AI.

As a result, the content navigation agent system according to the embodiment can improve the user experience by analyzing user questions, providing optimal content, and making improvement suggestions to administrators.
[0065] The analysis unit analyzes the user's question. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the user's question using natural language processing techniques. Natural language processing techniques include morphological analysis, grammatical analysis, and semantic analysis. Specifically, morphological analysis is used to break down the user's question into words and identify the part of speech of each word. Grammatical analysis analyzes the structure of the sentence and identifies grammatical elements such as subject, predicate, and object. Semantic analysis understands the meaning of the entire sentence and grasps the user's intent. For example, in response to the question "Tell me about nearby restaurants," the analysis unit breaks it down into the words "nearby," "restaurant," and "tell me," analyzing "nearby" as a modifier indicating location, "restaurant" as a noun, and "tell me" as a verb. Furthermore, semantic analysis helps understand that the user is looking for nearby restaurants. Based on these analysis results, the analysis unit accurately grasps the intent of the user's question and provides information to derive an appropriate answer. The analysis unit can also consider the context of the user's question and past question history to perform more accurate analysis. For example, if a user has previously searched for "Italian restaurants," the analytics unit can take that information into consideration and prioritize suggesting Italian restaurants in response to the current question. This allows the analytics unit to accurately analyze the user's question and provide appropriate information that meets the user's needs.
[0066] The content delivery unit provides optimal content based on the questions analyzed by the analysis unit. For example, the content delivery unit uses machine learning techniques to provide optimal content. These machine learning techniques include deep learning and support vector machines.

Deep learning models have the ability to learn from large amounts of data and generate optimal answers to user questions. For example, if a user asks, "Can you recommend some movies?", the content delivery unit uses a deep learning model to select movies that match the user's preferences based on their past viewing history and rating data. Furthermore, the content delivery unit can use support vector machines to evaluate the relevance of content. Support vector machines learn boundaries for classifying data points and predict which category new data points belong to. This allows the content delivery unit to provide the most relevant content to the user's question. In addition, the content delivery unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the quality of the content it provides. For example, when a user rates the provided content, the content delivery unit can learn from that rating and incorporate it into future content delivery.

The proposal unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and makes specific improvement suggestions to the administrator. The collection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the headset terminal 314 and collects user behavior data. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.
[0146] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0147] 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.
[0148] 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.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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).
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.).
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the analysis unit, provision unit, proposal unit, and collection unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the analysis unit is implemented by the processor 46 of the robot 414 and analyzes the user's question using natural language processing technology. The provision unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and provides optimal content using machine learning technology. The proposal unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and makes specific improvement suggestions to the administrator. The collection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and collects user behavior data. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be changed in various ways.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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."
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
