For example, if a child has difficulty in a particular subject, a plan is created that focuses on studying that area. Furthermore, the AI virtual tutoring system is equipped with a feedback system that supports communication between parents and teachers. The AI analyzes the child's learning situation and provides feedback on the results to parents and teachers. This makes it easier for parents and teachers to understand the child's learning situation and provide appropriate support. For example, the AI virtual tutoring system collects data on the child's learning situation and builds a question-answering system using NLP. This allows the AI to instantly provide answers to any questions a child may have while learning. Next, based on the collected data, machine learning (ML) is used to analyze and optimize individual learning progress. This enables the provision of personalized learning plans tailored to each child. For example, if a child struggles with a particular subject, a plan focusing on that area can be created. Furthermore, the AI virtual tutoring system includes a feedback system to support communication between parents and teachers. The AI analyzes the child's learning progress and provides feedback to parents and teachers. This makes it easier for parents and teachers to understand the child's learning situation and provide appropriate support. As a result, the AI virtual tutoring system is expected to improve learning efficiency and reduce learning time by an average of 20%.Furthermore, concrete quantifiable effects were observed, such as a 15% improvement in students' average grades and 90% of parents being satisfied with the service.
[0029] The AI virtual tutoring system according to this embodiment comprises a monitoring unit, a plan provision unit, and a communication unit. The monitoring unit monitors learning progress. For example, the monitoring unit collects data on when a child is learning and monitors learning progress in real time. For example, the monitoring unit builds a question-answering system in which the AI provides immediate answers if a child has questions while learning. For example, the monitoring unit analyzes the child's learning progress and optimizes individual learning progress.

Specifically, it collects data such as learning time, accuracy of answers, speed of answers, and level of understanding of learning content through applications and software installed on the devices used by the children. This data is sent to a cloud server, where AI analyzes it in real time. For example, the monitoring unit builds a question-answering system in which AI provides immediate answers if a child has a question while learning. The AI uses natural language processing technology to understand the child's question and generates an appropriate answer. For example, if a child gets stuck on a math problem, the AI explains the solution to the problem step by step, supporting the child so that they can understand it. For example, the monitoring unit analyzes the child's learning progress and optimizes individual learning progress. Based on the collected data, the AI identifies the child's strengths and weaknesses and visualizes their learning progress. This allows for an understanding of the child's learning trends and patterns, and the suggestion of the optimal learning method. Furthermore, the monitoring unit regularly compiles learning progress into reports and provides them to parents and teachers. This makes it easier for parents and teachers to understand their children's learning progress and provide appropriate support. The monitoring unit uses AI machine learning algorithms to continuously learn from children's learning data, achieving more accurate progress monitoring. As a result, the monitoring unit can grasp children's learning progress in real time and provide support tailored to their individual needs.
[0031] The plan provision department provides personalized learning plans based on data collected by the monitoring department.

The AI determines which topics and skills should be emphasized based on the child's past learning data and current level of understanding. The plan provision department provides personalized learning plans tailored to each child. The AI proposes an optimal learning schedule that matches the child's learning style and pace. For example, for a child who learns intensely in short bursts, the plan will provide a plan with multiple short sessions, while for a child who can concentrate for longer periods, longer sessions will be suggested. The plan provision department uses machine learning to analyze and optimize individual learning progress based on collected data. The AI continuously learns from children's learning data to improve the accuracy of learning plans. For example, if a child repeatedly struggles with a particular problem, the plan will provide a plan to review the fundamental concepts related to that problem. This allows the plan provision department to optimize children's learning progress and support effective learning. Furthermore, the plan provision department regularly evaluates the progress of the learning plan and modifies it as needed. This ensures that the optimal plan is always provided, tailored to the student's current learning situation.

Some or all of the above processing in the question-answering unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the question-answering unit can input the child's learning progress data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the adjustment of the difficulty level of the questions.
[0092] The analysis unit can estimate a child's emotions and adjust the method of analyzing learning progress based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the child is stressed, the analysis unit uses a simple analysis method. For example, if the child is relaxed, the analysis unit uses a detailed analysis method. For example, if the child is focused, the analysis unit uses a concise analysis method. By adjusting the analysis method according to the child's emotions, the accuracy of the learning progress analysis can be improved. Emotion estimation 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 analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the child's emotion data into the generative AI and have the generative AI perform the adjustment of the analysis method.
[0093] The analysis unit can improve the accuracy of its analysis by referring to the child's past learning data when analyzing learning progress. For example, the analysis unit can analyze past learning data to understand the level of comprehension of a particular subject or topic. For example, the analysis unit can predict learning progress based on past learning data and improve the accuracy of its analysis. For example, the analysis unit can refer to past learning data and provide appropriate feedback according to learning progress. In this way, the accuracy of the analysis can be improved by referring to past learning data.

For example, the analysis unit can input past learning data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the task of improving the accuracy of the analysis.
[0094] The analysis unit can estimate a child's emotions and adjust the display method of the analysis results based on the estimated emotions. For example, if a child is stressed, the analysis unit provides a simple and visually user-friendly display method. For example, if a child is relaxed, the analysis unit provides a display method that includes detailed information. For example, if a child is focused, the analysis unit provides a display method that focuses on the key points. By adjusting the display method of the analysis results according to the child's emotions, the understanding of learning can be deepened. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or a generative AI.

For example, the analysis unit can consider the brightness of the lighting in the learning environment when analyzing learning progress. For example, the analysis unit can consider the temperature of the learning environment when analyzing learning progress. By taking the learning environment into account, a more accurate analysis of learning progress becomes possible. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input learning environment data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the analysis of learning progress.
[0096] The feedback unit can estimate the emotions of parents and teachers and adjust the content of the feedback based on the estimated emotions. For example, if a parent is stressed, the feedback unit will provide simple, to-the-point feedback. For example, if a teacher is relaxed, the feedback unit will provide feedback with more detailed information. For example, if both parents and teachers are tense, the feedback unit will provide feedback in a calm tone. This allows for more effective feedback by adjusting the content of the feedback according to the emotions of parents and teachers. Emotion estimation 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 feedback unit may be performed using AI, or not using AI. For example, the feedback unit can input parent and teacher emotion data into the generative AI and have the generative AI adjust the content of the feedback.
[0097] The feedback unit can determine the priority of feedback based on the child's learning progress when providing feedback. For example, the feedback unit may determine what should be prioritized in feedback based on the child's short-term learning progress. For example, the feedback unit may provide feedback in stages based on the child's medium-term learning progress. For example, the feedback unit may create an overall feedback plan based on the child's long-term learning progress. This enables efficient feedback by determining the priority of feedback based on learning progress. Some or all of the above processes in the feedback unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the feedback unit may input the child's learning progress data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the determination of feedback priorities.
[0098] The feedback unit can estimate the emotions of parents and teachers and adjust the frequency of feedback based on the estimated emotions. For example, if a parent is stressed, the feedback unit will reduce the frequency of feedback. For example, if a teacher is relaxed, the feedback unit will increase the frequency of feedback. For example, if both parents and teachers are tense, the feedback unit will adjust the frequency of feedback. This allows for more effective feedback by adjusting the frequency of feedback according to the emotions of parents and teachers. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or generative AI. 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 feedback unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the feedback unit can input parent and teacher emotion data into a generative AI and have the generative AI adjust the feedback frequency.
[0099] The feedback unit can provide optimal feedback by referring to the communication history between parents and teachers when providing feedback. For example, the feedback unit can analyze past communication history and provide feedback tailored to the communication style of parents and teachers. For example, the feedback unit can provide feedback tailored to the concerns of parents and teachers based on past communication history. For example, the feedback unit can refer to past communication history and adjust the frequency of communication between parents and teachers. In this way, optimal feedback can be provided by referring to the communication history. Some or all of the above processing in the feedback unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the feedback unit can input parent-teacher communication history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the generation of optimal feedback.
[0100] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0101] The monitoring unit can adjust the monitoring method according to the child's learning style when monitoring the child's learning progress. For example, visually-oriented children can be monitored using graphs and charts. Auditory-oriented children can be monitored using audio feedback. Tactile-oriented children can be monitored through interactive activities. By monitoring according to the child's learning style, the efficiency of learning can be improved.
[0102] The question-answering section can adjust the content of questions based on the child's learning progress. For example, if a child has difficulty with a particular subject, the system can focus on providing questions related to that area. For subjects the child excels in, more advanced questions can be provided. Furthermore, the difficulty level of the questions can be gradually increased according to the child's learning progress. This allows for question-and-answer sessions tailored to the child's learning progress, thereby improving the efficiency of learning.
[0103] The analysis department can prioritize analysis based on the child's learning goals when analyzing a child's learning progress. For example, it can determine what should be prioritized for analysis based on the child's short-term learning goals. It can proceed with analysis in stages based on medium-term learning goals. It can create an overall learning plan based on long-term learning goals. By prioritizing analysis based on learning goals, efficient learning support becomes possible.
[0104] The feedback system can provide optimal feedback by referencing the communication history between parents and teachers. For example, it can analyze past communication history and provide feedback tailored to the communication styles of parents and teachers. It can also provide feedback aligned with the concerns of parents and teachers. Furthermore, it can adjust the frequency of communication between parents and teachers. This allows for the provision of optimal feedback by referencing the communication history.
[0105] The monitoring unit can estimate a child's emotions and adjust the frequency of monitoring learning progress based on those emotions. For example, if a child is stressed, the monitoring frequency can be reduced to allow for more relaxation time. If a child is focused, the monitoring frequency can be increased to gain a more detailed understanding of their learning progress. If a child is tired, the monitoring frequency can be adjusted to encourage breaks. By adjusting the monitoring frequency according to the child's emotions, learning efficiency can be improved.
[0106] The learning plan provider can estimate a child's emotions and adjust the content of the learning plan based on those estimates. For example, if a child is stressed, a learning plan with relaxing content can be provided. If a child is focused, a learning plan with more challenging content can be provided. If a child is tired, a learning plan that includes breaks can be provided. By adjusting the content of the learning plan according to the child's emotions, the efficiency of learning can be improved.
[0107] The communication department can estimate the emotions of parents and teachers and adjust the content of communication based on those estimates. For example, if a parent is stressed, it can provide simple, to-the-point communication. If a teacher is relaxed, it can provide communication that includes detailed information. If both parents and teachers are tense, it can provide communication in a calm tone. By adjusting the content of communication according to the emotions of parents and teachers, more effective communication becomes possible.
[0108] The question-answering unit can estimate a child's emotions and adjust the timing of question-answering based on those emotions. For example, if a child is stressed, the timing of question-answering can be delayed to provide time for relaxation. If a child is focused, questions can be answered immediately to avoid interrupting the learning flow. If a child is tired, the timing of question-answering can be adjusted to encourage a break. In this way, by adjusting the timing of question-answering according to the child's emotions, the efficiency of learning can be improved.
[0109] The analysis unit can estimate a child's emotions and adjust the analysis method of learning progress based on those estimated emotions. For example, if a child is stressed, a simple analysis method can be used. If a child is relaxed, a detailed analysis method can be used. If a child is focused, a concise analysis method can be used. By adjusting the analysis method according to the child's emotions, the accuracy of the learning progress analysis can be improved.
[0110] The monitoring unit can collect data while monitoring learning progress, taking into account the child's health condition. For example, it can record the child's sleep time and recommend getting enough sleep. It can record the child's meals and recommend a balanced diet. It can record the child's exercise level and recommend moderate exercise. By collecting data while considering the child's health condition, it becomes possible to monitor learning progress more accurately.
[0111] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0112] Step 1: The monitoring unit monitors learning progress. For example, the monitoring unit collects data on how children learn and monitors their learning progress in real time. For example, the monitoring unit builds a question-answering system in which AI provides immediate answers if a child has questions while learning. For example, the monitoring unit analyzes the child's learning progress and optimizes individual learning progress. Step 2: The plan provision department provides personalized learning plans based on data collected by the monitoring department. For example, if a student has difficulty in a particular subject, the plan provision department will create a plan that focuses on that area. For example, the plan provision department will provide personalized learning plans tailored to each individual child. For example, the plan provision department will use machine learning to analyze and optimize individual learning progress based on the collected data. Step 3: The Communication Department supports communication between parents and teachers based on the learning plan provided by the Plan Provision Department. For example, the Communication Department uses AI to analyze the child's learning progress and provides feedback to parents and teachers. For example, the Communication Department makes it easier for parents and teachers to understand the child's learning progress and provide appropriate support. For example, the Communication Department has a feedback system that supports communication between parents and teachers.

[0149] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0150] 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.
[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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.
[0154] 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).
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.).
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] 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.
[0165] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the monitoring unit, plan provision unit, communication unit, question answering unit, analysis unit, and feedback unit, is implemented, for example, by at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the monitoring unit monitors the child's learning progress in real time using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414 and collects data by the control unit 46A. The plan provision unit provides a personalized learning plan based on the data collected by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The communication unit supports communication between parents and teachers, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414. The question answering unit constructs a question answering system by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and answers the child's questions immediately. The analysis unit analyzes the child's learning progress, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12. The feedback unit analyzes the child's learning situation by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and provides feedback on the results to parents and teachers. 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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."
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
