[0023] Figure 2 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the smart device 14.
[0024] As shown in Figure 2, in the data processing device 12, a specific processing is performed by the processor 28. A specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32. The specific processing program 56 is an example of a "program" related to the technology of this disclosure.

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 AI assistant system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that analyzes employees' PC and browser operation logs to discover and streamline potential routine tasks. This AI assistant system visualizes employees' daily work hours from logs and clarifies how much time is spent on what tasks on a weekly and monthly basis. Next, an AI agent analyzes the logs and discovers routine tasks. The discovered routine tasks are presented to the employee, who then determines that they are routine tasks. For the determined routine tasks, the AI agent creates a work manual from the operation logs. If the content of the work manual is correct, the AI agent proposes automating and streamlining the routine tasks using programming such as macros, GAS, and RPA. Through this mechanism, potential routine tasks are visualized, routine tasks are prevented from becoming dependent on individuals through manual creation, and work errors are reduced and work efficiency is improved through the programmatic automation of routine tasks. For example, employees' daily work hours are visualized from logs. For example, detailed data such as how long employees use which applications and how long they browse which websites is collected. This clarifies how much time employees spend on each task. Next, the AI agent analyzes the collected logs to identify routine tasks. For example, it can identify patterns in routine tasks, such as using the same application at the same time every day or regularly browsing the same website. The identified routine tasks are presented to employees, who then determine if they are routine tasks. For the determined routine tasks, the AI agent creates a work manual from the operation logs. For example, a manual is generated with detailed instructions, such as how to operate a specific application or how to use a specific website. Employees review this manual to verify its accuracy. If the work manual is correct, the AI agent suggests automating and streamlining the routine tasks using programming such as macros, GAS, and RPA. For example, it may suggest a macro to automate the operation of a specific application or a GAS script to automate the use of a specific website.This allows employees to automate routine tasks, reduce errors, and improve work efficiency. This system makes potential routine tasks visible, prevents reliance on individual employees through manual creation, and reduces errors and improves efficiency through automated routine tasks. For example, automating daily data entry tasks can significantly reduce work time and prevent errors. Similarly, automating regularly performed report creation tasks can improve efficiency. The AI assistant system analyzes employee PC and browser operation logs to identify and streamline potential routine tasks.
[0029] The AI assistant system according to this embodiment comprises a collection unit, an analysis unit, a determination unit, a creation unit, and a suggestion unit. The collection unit collects the employee's PC and browser operation logs. The collection unit can collect operation logs such as clicks, keystrokes, and URL history. The collection unit may also include AI processing. The analysis unit analyzes the operation logs collected by the collection unit and discovers routine tasks. The analysis unit can identify patterns in routine tasks, such as using the same application at the same time every day or regularly browsing the same website. The analysis unit includes AI processing. The determination unit presents the routine tasks discovered by the analysis unit to the employee, who then determines that the task is a routine task. The determination unit can, for example, set the method of notifying the employee of the discovered routine task and the format of the presented content. The determination unit may also include AI processing. The creation unit creates a work manual for the routine tasks determined by the determination unit. The creation unit can generate a manual with detailed procedures, such as the operation procedure for a specific application or the usage method for a specific website. The creation unit includes AI processing. The proposal unit proposes the automation and efficiency improvements of routine tasks if the content of the business manual created by the creation unit is correct. The proposal unit can propose the automation and efficiency improvements of routine tasks using programming such as macros, GAS, and RPA. The proposal unit may also include AI processing. As a result, the AI assistant system according to the embodiment can analyze the employee's PC and browser operation logs to discover and optimize potential routine tasks.
[0030] The data collection unit collects employee PC and browser operation logs. Specifically, the data collection unit can collect operation logs such as clicks, keystrokes, and URL history. This allows for a detailed understanding of what operations employees are performing. For example, click logs record which buttons and links employees clicked, keystroke logs record the characters and commands employees entered, and URL history records the history of websites employees accessed. This data is collected in real time and sent to a central database. The data collection unit may also include AI processing. The AI can analyze the collected data in real time and detect abnormal operations or suspicious activity. For example, it can detect abnormal operations such as the use of a specific application at an unusual time of day or keystrokes being entered in an unusual pattern. This allows the data collection unit to efficiently collect employee operation logs and detect abnormal operations early. Furthermore, the data collection unit can centrally manage this data and collaborate with other systems and departments as needed. For example, the collected data can be stored on a cloud server and made accessible to the analysis and judgment units. Furthermore, by adjusting the frequency and accuracy of data collection, flexible responses to specific situations and conditions become possible. This allows the data collection unit to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.
[0031] The analysis unit analyzes operation logs collected by the collection unit to identify routine tasks. Specifically, the analysis unit can identify patterns in routine tasks, such as using the same application at the same time every day or regularly browsing the same website. The analysis unit includes AI processing. The AI uses machine learning algorithms to extract patterns from operation logs and identify routine tasks. For example, the AI detects that an employee opens a specific application at the same time every day and determines that this operation is a routine task. The AI also detects that an employee regularly browses the same website and determines that this operation is a routine task. This allows the analysis unit to efficiently analyze collected operation logs and identify routine tasks. Furthermore, the analysis unit can also analyze long-term work patterns using historical data and statistical information. For example, based on past operation logs, it can analyze how frequently a particular task is performed and evaluate its importance and priority. The analysis unit can also use anomaly detection algorithms to detect unusual operation patterns or abnormal operations and issue warnings early. This allows the analysis unit to not only grasp the situation in real time, but also to handle long-term business analysis and anomaly detection, thereby improving the reliability and security of the entire system.
[0032] The judgment unit presents routine tasks identified by the analysis unit to employees, who then determine if those tasks are routine tasks. Specifically, the judgment unit can configure the method of notifying employees of discovered routine tasks and the format of the presentation content. The judgment unit may also include AI processing. When presenting discovered routine tasks to employees, the AI can select the optimal notification method and presentation content. For example, the AI can provide notifications at the optimal timing based on the employee's work status and past operation history. The AI can also provide detailed explanations of the discovered routine tasks, their importance, and potential for efficiency improvements. This allows the judgment unit to efficiently present routine tasks to employees and support work efficiency improvements. Furthermore, the judgment unit can collect feedback from employees and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the presentation content. For example, employees can review the presented routine tasks and determine whether they are actually routine tasks. Based on employee feedback, the judgment unit can also improve the presentation content and review the notification method. This allows the judgment unit to respond flexibly according to the employee's work status and improve the overall system performance.
[0033] The creation unit creates work manuals for routine tasks determined by the judgment unit. Specifically, the creation unit can generate detailed manuals for operating specific applications or using specific websites. The creation unit includes AI processing. The AI can analyze the operation logs of the determined routine tasks and automatically generate optimal operating procedures. For example, the AI can analyze the operation procedures of a specific application and generate a detailed manual for those procedures. The AI can also analyze how to use a specific website and generate a manual for its usage. This allows the creation unit to efficiently create work manuals and improve employee work efficiency. Furthermore, the creation unit can continuously update the content of the created work manuals to respond to the latest business conditions. For example, if the work content or operating procedures change, the AI analyzes the latest operation logs and automatically updates the manual content. The creation unit can also collect feedback from employees and improve the content and format of the manuals. This allows the creation unit to always provide high-quality work manuals based on the latest information and improve employee work efficiency.
[0034] The proposal department will propose the automation and efficiency improvements of routine tasks, provided that the business manuals created by the creation department are accurate. Specifically, the proposal department can propose the automation and efficiency improvements of routine tasks using programming such as macros, GAS, and RPA. The proposal department may also include AI processing. The AI can analyze the content of the created business manuals and propose the most suitable automation method. For example, the AI can analyze the operation procedures of a specific application and generate macros or scripts to automate those procedures. Alternatively, the AI can analyze the usage procedures of a specific website and propose GAS or RPA to automate those procedures. This allows the proposal department to efficiently propose the automation of routine tasks and improve employee work efficiency. Furthermore, the proposal department can evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed automation methods and continuously improve them. For example, it can monitor the execution results of proposed macros and scripts, and if the effect is insufficient, the AI can automatically propose improvement plans. The proposal department can also collect feedback from employees and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the automation methods. This allows the proposal department to always provide the most suitable automation methods and maximize employee work efficiency.
[0035] The data collection unit can visualize employees' daily work hours. For example, the unit collects detailed data such as how long employees use each application and how long they browse each website. Based on the collected data, the unit can visualize employees' daily work hours through methods such as graphs and time-based summaries. This visualization of employees' daily work hours can improve work efficiency. Some or all of the above-described processes in the data collection unit may be performed using AI or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input employee operation logs into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the visualization of work hours.
[0036] The analysis unit can analyze the collected operation logs and identify patterns in routine tasks. For example, the analysis unit can identify patterns in routine tasks such as using the same application at the same time every day or regularly browsing the same website. The analysis unit can identify patterns in routine tasks based on criteria such as the frequency, time of day, and order of operations in the collected operation logs. By identifying patterns in routine tasks, it is possible to improve the efficiency of operations. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the analysis unit can input the collected operation logs into a generating AI and have the generating AI perform the identification of patterns in routine tasks.

If the content of the business manual is correct, the proposal department will propose the automation and efficiency improvements of routine tasks. This will improve the efficiency of operations by proposing the automation and efficiency improvements of routine tasks. Some or all of the above processes in the proposal department may be performed using AI or not. For example, the proposal department can input the content of the business manual into a generating AI and have the generating AI execute proposals for the automation and efficiency improvements of routine tasks.
[0040] The data collection unit can analyze an employee's past operation history and select the optimal collection method. For example, the data collection unit can discover from past operation history that operations are concentrated during specific time periods and focus on collecting logs during those times. Based on past operation history, if a particular application is frequently used, the data collection unit can prioritize collecting operation logs for that application. The data collection unit can analyze past operation history, identify operation patterns, and efficiently collect logs based on those patterns. This allows the optimal collection method to be selected by analyzing an employee's past operation history. Some or all of the above processes in the data collection unit may be performed using AI or not. For example, the data collection unit can input past operation history data into a generating AI and have the generating AI select the optimal collection method.

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.
[0154] 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.
[0155] In the headset terminal 314, specific processing is performed by the processor 46. The storage 50 stores a specific program 60. The processor 46 reads the specific program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read specific program 60 on the RAM 48. The specific processing is realized by the processor 46 acting as a control unit 46A according to the specific program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The headset terminal 314 also has a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59, similar to the data generation model and emotion identification model 59, and can perform processing similar to that of the specific processing unit 290 using these models.
[0156] 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.).
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.

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.

[0161] [Fourth Embodiment] Figure 7 shows an example of the configuration of the data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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 microphone 238, speaker 240, camera 42, and controlled object 443 are also connected to the bus 52.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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).
[0167] 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.).
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.

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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, determination unit, creation unit, and proposal unit, is implemented in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and collects employee PC and browser operation logs. The analysis unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the collected operation logs to identify routine tasks. The determination unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and presents the discovered routine tasks to the employee, who then determines that the tasks are routine tasks. The creation unit is implemented by the identification processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and creates a work manual for the determined routine tasks. The proposal unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and, if the content of the work manual is correct, proposes automated efficiency improvements for routine tasks. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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."
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
[0192] 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.
[0193] 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.
[0194] 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.
