[0028] (Example of form 1) An AI agent according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that provides a customized diet plan tailored to an individual's physical characteristics and lifestyle. This system collects data on the user's physical characteristics and lifestyle, and a generating AI analyzes this data to generate an optimal diet plan. Furthermore, it supports healthy weight management by tracking the user's progress based on the generated diet plan and providing interactive feedback. For example, it collects data on the user's physical characteristics and lifestyle. In this process, it collects detailed data such as the user's diet, exercise habits, and sleep patterns. For example, it collects data such as the calories the user consumes daily, the frequency of exercise, and the amount of sleep. This allows for an understanding of the user's lifestyle. Next, the generating AI analyzes the collected data. Based on the collected data, the generating AI analyzes the user's physical characteristics and lifestyle and generates an optimal diet plan for each individual user. For example, if a user is consuming high-calorie meals, the generating AI will suggest a meal plan with reduced calories. Also, for users with little exercise, it will suggest a plan that incorporates moderate exercise. This allows for the provision of a customized diet plan tailored to the user's needs. Furthermore, it tracks the user's progress based on the generated diet plan. The generating AI regularly collects data such as the user's weight and body fat percentage to track their progress. For example, it can check how close the user is to their target weight and adjust the plan as needed. This allows the user to understand their progress in real time. It also provides interactive feedback. The generating AI provides encouraging messages and advice based on the user's progress. For example, if the user is close to their target weight, the generating AI will send a message such as, "Congratulations! You're getting closer to your goal." If progress has stalled, it will send an encouraging message such as, "Let's keep going a little longer." This helps maintain the user's motivation and supports healthy weight management.This allows the AI agent to provide customized diet plans tailored to individual body types and lifestyles, and to support healthy weight management by providing interactive feedback for tracking progress and maintaining motivation.
[0029] The AI agent according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, a generation unit, a tracking unit, and a feedback unit. The collection unit collects data related to the user's physical characteristics and lifestyle. For example, the collection unit collects data such as the user's diet, exercise habits, and sleep patterns. For example, the collection unit collects data such as the user's daily calorie intake, exercise frequency, and sleep duration. For example, the collection unit records the user's diet to understand calorie intake and nutrient balance. For example, the collection unit records the user's exercise habits to understand the type, frequency, and intensity of exercise. For example, the collection unit records the user's sleep patterns to understand sleep duration and sleep quality. The generation unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit and generates an optimal diet plan for each individual user. For example, the generation unit analyzes the user's physical characteristics and lifestyle based on the collected data. For example, if the user is consuming high-calorie meals, the generation unit proposes a calorie-reduced meal plan. For example, if the user has little exercise, the generation unit proposes a plan that incorporates moderate exercise. The generation unit, for example, proposes a nutritionally balanced meal plan tailored to the user's constitution. The generation unit, for example, proposes an exercise plan tailored to the user's lifestyle. The generation unit, for example, proposes a diet plan tailored to the user's target weight. The tracking unit tracks the user's progress based on the diet plan generated by the generation unit. The tracking unit, for example, periodically collects data such as the user's weight and body fat percentage. The tracking unit, for example, checks how close the user is to their target weight. The tracking unit, for example, records changes in the user's weight to track progress. The tracking unit, for example, records changes in the user's body fat percentage to track progress. The tracking unit, for example, records the user's exercise achievement to track progress. The feedback unit provides interactive feedback based on the progress tracked by the tracking unit. The feedback unit, for example, provides encouraging messages and advice according to the user's progress. The feedback unit, for example, sends an encouraging message when the user is approaching their target weight. The feedback unit, for example, sends an encouraging message when the user's progress has stagnated.The feedback unit provides, for example, advice on diet and exercise based on the user's progress. The feedback unit also sends messages to maintain motivation based on the user's progress. The feedback unit also suggests adjusting the plan based on the user's progress. As a result, the AI agent according to the embodiment can provide a customized diet plan tailored to the user's physical characteristics and lifestyle, and offer interactive feedback for tracking progress and maintaining motivation.
[0030] The data collection unit collects data about the user's physical characteristics and lifestyle. Specifically, it collects detailed data such as the user's daily diet, exercise habits, and sleep patterns. For example, it records the user's meals to understand the balance of calories and nutrients they consume daily. This includes information such as the type, quantity, and timing of the food consumed. Furthermore, it records the type, frequency, and intensity of exercise the user performs. For example, if the user engages in jogging, strength training, or yoga, detailed information is collected. Regarding sleep patterns, it records the user's sleep duration and sleep quality. This includes information such as when the user goes to bed and wakes up, the number of times they woke up during the night, and the depth of their sleep. The data collection unit centrally manages this data, enabling a detailed understanding of the user's physical characteristics and lifestyle. In addition, the data collection unit can integrate with the user's devices and applications to automatically collect data. For example, it can record meals through a smartphone app or collect exercise data using a fitness tracker. This allows users to collect data without effort, providing more accurate information.
[0031] The generation unit analyzes the data collected by the collection unit to generate an optimal diet plan for each individual user. Specifically, it analyzes the user's physical characteristics and lifestyle in detail based on the collected data. For example, if a user is consuming high-calorie meals, the generation unit will propose a calorie-reduced meal plan. This includes low-calorie foods and balanced meal menus. For users with little exercise, the generation unit will propose a plan that incorporates moderate exercise. This may include light jogging, strength training, or stretching a few times a week. Furthermore, it will propose a nutritionally balanced meal plan tailored to the user's physical characteristics. For example, if a user is deficient in a particular nutrient, it will propose a menu that includes foods that supplement that nutrient. It will also propose an exercise plan tailored to the user's lifestyle. For example, it will propose a short, effective exercise menu for busy users and a longer exercise menu for users with more time. Finally, it will propose a diet plan tailored to the user's target weight. For example, it will adjust calorie restrictions and exercise volume to reach the target weight. Based on this data, the generation unit generates an optimal diet plan for the user and supports the user in achieving their goals in a healthy way.
[0032] The tracking unit tracks the user's progress based on the diet plan generated by the generation unit. Specifically, it regularly collects data such as the user's weight and body fat percentage to understand their progress. For example, it records changes in weight to see how close the user is to their target weight. It also records changes in body fat percentage to understand changes in the user's body composition. Furthermore, it records the user's exercise achievement to check whether they are exercising as planned. For example, it records how much of the set exercise menu the user has achieved to understand their progress. The tracking unit centrally manages this data, allowing for a detailed understanding of the user's progress. In addition, the tracking unit can integrate with the user's devices and applications to automatically collect data. For example, it can record weight and body fat percentage through a smartphone app or collect exercise data using a fitness tracker. This allows users to collect data without effort and provides more accurate information. The tracking unit provides detailed support for users to achieve their goals by understanding their progress.
[0033] The feedback unit provides interactive feedback based on the progress tracked by the tracking unit. Specifically, it provides encouraging messages and advice according to the user's progress. For example, when a user approaches their target weight, it sends an encouraging message to maintain their motivation. Also, if a user's progress has stalled, it sends an encouraging message to rekindle their motivation. Furthermore, it provides advice on diet and exercise according to the user's progress. For example, it suggests improvements to their diet or additional exercise routines to support the user in effectively working towards their goal. It also suggests adjusting the plan according to the user's progress. For example, if the target weight is reached, it sets a new goal and proposes a plan to achieve it. Through this interactive feedback, the feedback unit maintains the user's motivation and supports them in achieving their goals. In addition, the feedback unit can collect user feedback and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the feedback it provides. For example, it can review and improve the content of the feedback based on user opinions and requests. This allows the feedback unit to provide effective support to users and maintain their motivation towards achieving their goals.

[0132] [Third Embodiment] Figure 5 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 310 according to the third embodiment.
[0133] As shown in Figure 5, the data processing system 310 includes a data processing device 12 and a headset terminal 314. An example of the data processing device 12 is a server.
[0134] 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 communication interface 26 is connected to a network 54. An example of the network 54 is a WAN and / or LAN.
[0135] The headset terminal 314 includes a computer 36, a microphone 238, a speaker 240, a camera 42, a communication interface 44, and a display 343.

The microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and display 343 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0136] 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.
[0137] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an image sensor such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, which captures images of the area around the user (for example, an imaging range defined by a field of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).
[0138] 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.
[0139] Figure 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset terminal 314. As shown in Figure 6, the data processing device 12 performs specific processing using the processor 28. The storage 32 stores the specific processing program 56.
[0140] 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.
[0141] 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.
[0142] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific program 60 on the RAM 48.

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.).
[0144] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the headset terminal 314. In the headset terminal 314, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and display 343 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires audio indicating user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the audio data indicating user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing unit 12. In the data processing unit 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.
[0145] 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.
[0146] 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.
[0147] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, generation unit, tracking unit, and feedback unit, is implemented in at least one of the headset terminal 314 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit records the user's diet and exercise habits using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the headset terminal 314, and the control unit 46A collects the data. The generation unit is implemented in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, for example, and analyzes the collected data to generate an optimal diet plan.

The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0148] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0149] 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.
[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.
[0152] 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.
[0153] 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).
[0154] 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.
[0155] 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.
[0156] 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.
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.).
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.
[0164] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, generation unit, tracking unit, and feedback unit, is implemented, for example, in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit records the user's diet and exercise habits using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414, and the control unit 46A collects the data. The generation unit is implemented, for example, in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which analyzes the collected data to generate an optimal diet plan. The tracking unit tracks the user's progress by periodically recording the user's weight and body fat percentage using the control unit 46A of the robot 414. The feedback unit is implemented, for example, in the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, which provides interactive feedback according to the user's progress. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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."
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] Furthermore, although the above-described examples were divided into four embodiments, some or all of these embodiments may be combined. Also, the smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are just examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. Also, although the above-described examples were divided into two embodiments, Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, these may be combined.

For example, the above descriptions of the structure, function, operation, and effect are examples of the structure, function, operation, and effect of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that you may delete unnecessary parts, add new elements, or replace elements in the descriptions and illustrations presented above, as long as you do not deviate from the essence of the technical aspects of this disclosure. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the technical aspects of this disclosure, explanations of common technical knowledge and other things that do not require special explanation to enable the implementation of the technical aspects of this disclosure have been omitted from the descriptions and illustrations presented above.
