[0028] (Example of form 1) The patent application support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that simplifies the patent application process and reduces costs by using a generating AI that has learned from publicly available patent information. When a user communicates their idea to the generating AI, the generating AI, having learned from publicly available patent information, analyzes the user's idea and determines whether it is patentable. If the patent application support system determines that it is patentable, it creates the necessary documents for the application. The generating AI automatically collects the information necessary for the patent application and creates the patent application documents. This system simplifies the patent application process and reduces costs. Traditionally, it was expensive to hire a patent attorney, but by utilizing the generating AI, the hurdles to patent application are lowered, making it easy for anyone to obtain a patent. Because the generating AI constantly learns from publicly available patent information, it makes decisions based on the latest patent information. This improves the success rate of patent applications, and users can apply for patents with confidence. This system is extremely beneficial for individuals and companies that wish to apply for patents, and by simplifying the patent application process, new ideas and technologies are more likely to be patented, promoting innovation. By utilizing generative AI, the patent application process is accelerated, allowing for the completion of patent applications in a shorter timeframe. This enables users to quickly obtain patents and expand their businesses. As a result, the patent application support system can efficiently receive user ideas, assess patentability, and create and provide patent application documents.

[0029] The patent application support system according to the embodiment comprises a reception unit, a judgment unit, a creation unit, and a provision unit. The reception unit receives ideas from users. User ideas include, but are not limited to, business ideas, technical ideas, and creative ideas. For example, users can submit ideas through an input form. The reception unit can also accept voice input and image input. For example, a user can explain an idea by voice, and the system can convert it into text and accept it. Alternatively, a user can submit a handwritten idea as an image, and the system can analyze and accept it. The judgment unit uses a generation AI to determine the patentability of the ideas received by the reception unit. The determination of patentability is based on criteria such as novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability, but is not limited to these criteria. For example, the judgment unit can use the generation AI to learn from published patent information and compare the user's idea with existing patent information to determine patentability. The judgment unit can also use the generation AI to automatically update the patentability criteria and make decisions based on the latest patent information. Furthermore, the Judgment Unit can provide feedback to the user regarding the patentability judgment results of the Generating AI and offer advice to help the user revise their idea. The Creation Unit creates the patent application documents if the Judgment Unit determines that the idea is patentable. The Creation Unit uses the Generating AI to automatically collect the information necessary for the patent application and create the application documents. For example, the Creation Unit can automatically generate documents such as claims, specifications, and drawings based on the user's idea. The Creation Unit can also use the Generating AI to check the format and content of the patent application documents and make revisions as needed. In addition, the Creation Unit can use the Generating AI to optimize the patent application document creation process and create documents efficiently. The Delivery Unit provides the patent application documents created by the Creation Unit to the user. The Delivery Unit can provide the documents by methods such as email, cloud storage, or physical document delivery. For example, the Delivery Unit can send the created patent application documents to the user in PDF format. The Delivery Unit can also upload the documents to cloud storage so that the user can download them. Furthermore, the Delivery Unit can also mail physical documents.This enables the patent application support system to efficiently receive user ideas, assess their patentability, and create and provide patent application documents.

[0030] The reception desk accepts user ideas. User ideas include, but are not limited to, business ideas, technical ideas, and creative ideas. The reception desk allows users to submit ideas through input forms, for example. It can also accept voice and image input. For example, a user can explain their idea verbally, and the system will convert it to text for submission. Alternatively, a user can submit a handwritten idea as an image, which will then be analyzed and submitted. Specifically, the reception desk provides an interface accessible to users through a website or mobile application, making it easy for users to input ideas. In the case of voice input, speech recognition technology is used to convert the user's speech into text, and natural language processing technology is used to analyze the content of the idea. In the case of image input, image recognition technology is used to analyze handwritten characters and diagrams and convert them into text data. This allows users to submit ideas in a variety of ways, and the reception desk can process this data efficiently. Furthermore, the reception desk has a function to automatically classify the content of the ideas submitted by users and allocate them to the relevant categories. For example, ideas can be organized based on categories such as business ideas, technical ideas, and creative ideas, streamlining subsequent processing. The reception department also manages a database to save the content of ideas submitted by users, making them available for later reference. This allows users to review and revise ideas they have previously submitted.

[0031] The judgment unit uses a generative AI to determine patentability based on the ideas received by the reception unit. Patentability is determined based on criteria such as novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability, but is not limited to these examples. For example, the judgment unit can have the generative AI learn from publicly available patent information and compare the user's idea with existing patent information to determine patentability. The judgment unit can also have the generative AI automatically update the patentability criteria and make judgments based on the latest patent information. Furthermore, the judgment unit can have the generative AI provide feedback to the user regarding the patentability judgment results and offer advice for the user to revise their idea. Specifically, the generative AI evaluates novelty by searching for relevant patent documents in a patent database and comparing them with the user's idea. For evaluating inventive step, the generative AI analyzes technological advancements and market trends to determine the degree of inventiveness of the user's idea compared to existing technology. Regarding industrial applicability, the generative AI evaluates market demand and the practicality of the technology to determine whether the user's idea is actually usable in industry. This allows the judgment unit to determine with high accuracy whether the user's idea is suitable for patent application. Furthermore, the judgment unit provides an interface for the generating AI to provide easily understandable feedback to the user regarding the patentability assessment results. For example, it displays the patentability evaluation results for the user's submitted idea in graphs and charts, and suggests specific areas for modification and improvement. The generating AI also provides information and examples that can be used as reference when the user modifies their idea, supporting the user in creating better ideas. In this way, the judgment unit can provide support to the user in optimizing their idea for patent application.

[0032] The creation unit prepares patent application documents if the judgment unit determines that a patent application is possible. The creation unit uses a generation AI to automatically collect the necessary information for the patent application and prepare the application documents. For example, the creation unit automatically generates documents such as claims, specifications, and drawings based on the user's idea. The creation unit can also have the generation AI check the format and content of the patent application documents and make corrections as needed. Furthermore, the creation unit can have the generation AI optimize the patent application document preparation process, enabling efficient document creation. Specifically, the generation AI analyzes the user's idea and extracts keywords and phrases to clearly define the claims. For the specification, the generation AI automatically generates technical details and examples to concretely explain the user's idea. For the drawings, the generation AI generates appropriate diagrams based on the user's idea and attaches them to the patent application documents. This reduces the user's burden and allows the creation of patent application documents quickly and accurately. Additionally, the creation unit has the generation AI check the format and content of the patent application documents to ensure they meet the requirements of the patent office. For example, it checks whether the claims are properly written, whether the specification is sufficiently detailed, and whether the drawings are accurately drawn. If necessary, the generating AI automatically makes corrections to improve the quality of the patent application documents. Furthermore, the creation unit uses algorithms to optimize the patent application document creation process and efficiently produce documents. This allows the creation unit to support users in filing patent applications quickly.

Specifically, the provisioning department provides an interface that allows users to select their preferred method of delivery, improving user convenience. For email delivery, the provisioning department attaches the prepared patent application documents in PDF format and sends them to the user. For cloud storage delivery, the provisioning department uploads the prepared patent application documents to cloud storage and provides a link for user access. For physical mailing, the provisioning department prints the prepared patent application documents and mails them to the address specified by the user. This allows the provisioning department to offer users diverse methods for receiving patent application documents, enabling flexible responses to user needs. Furthermore, the provisioning department continues to support users even after providing the patent application documents. For example, if a user has questions or requests for revisions regarding patent application documents, the service department will respond promptly and provide the necessary support. The service department will also manage the history of patent application document provision, allowing users to review previously provided documents. This enables the service department to support users in smoothly navigating the patent application process and improve the overall reliability and usability of the patent application support system.

For example, if the user is in a specific region, the management department can select a management method related to that region. The management department can also filter and select the optimal management method based on the user's geographical location information. Furthermore, if the user is on the move, the management department can select a management method related to the user's current location. In this way, the management department can select the optimal progress management method by taking into account the user's geographical location information. Some or all of the above processes in the management department may be performed using AI or not. For example, the management department can input the user's geographical location information into the AI, and the AI ​​can analyze that information to select the optimal management method. In this way, the management department can select the optimal management method by taking into account the user's geographical location information.

[0118] The management department can analyze users' social media activity and adjust management methods when managing the progress of patent applications. For example, the management department can select management methods related to areas of interest based on the user's social media activity. The management department can also select the optimal management method based on information shared by the user on social media. Furthermore, the management department can analyze users' social media activity and select the optimal management method. This allows the management department to select the optimal management method by analyzing users' social media activity. Some or all of the above processes in the management department may be performed using AI or not. For example, the management department can input user social media activity data into AI, and the AI ​​can analyze that data to select the optimal management method. This allows the management department to select the optimal management method by analyzing users' social media activity.

[0119] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0120] The reception department can optimize the idea submission process by referring to the user's past patent application history when receiving user ideas. For example, it can analyze trends in ideas previously submitted by the user and suggest the most suitable submission method. It can also prioritize suggesting submission methods the user has used in the past (voice, text, etc.). Furthermore, it can suggest the most suitable submission method for a specific time period based on the user's past submission history. In this way, the optimal submission method can be selected by analyzing the user's past patent application history.

[0121] The judgment unit can estimate the user's emotions when determining patentability and adjust the patentability criteria based on those emotions. For example, if the user is excited, the patentability criteria can be made stricter. Conversely, if the user is relaxed, the criteria can be made more lenient. Furthermore, if the user is stressed, the criteria can be adjusted. By adjusting the patentability criteria according to the user's emotions, a more appropriate judgment becomes possible.

[0122] The creation unit can estimate the user's emotions when creating patent application documents and adjust the creation method based on those emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, it can create a detailed patent application document. If the user is in a hurry, it can create a concise patent application document. Furthermore, if the user is stressed, it can adjust the creation method. By adjusting the creation method according to the user's emotions, it becomes possible to create more appropriate documents.

[0123] The delivery unit can estimate the user's emotions when providing patent application documents to a user and adjust the method of delivery based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, detailed patent application documents can be provided. If the user is in a hurry, concise patent application documents can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is stressed, the method of delivery can be adjusted. By adjusting the method of delivery of patent application documents according to the user's emotions, more appropriate document delivery becomes possible.

[0124] The management department can estimate the user's emotions when managing the progress of a patent application and adjust the progress management method based on those emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, a detailed progress management method can be provided. If the user is in a hurry, a concise progress management method can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is stressed, the progress management method can be adjusted accordingly. This allows for more appropriate progress management by adjusting the progress management method according to the user's emotions.

[0125] The reception system can prioritize receiving highly relevant ideas by considering the user's geographical location. For example, if a user is in a specific region, it will prioritize receiving ideas related to that region. It can also filter and receive relevant ideas based on the user's geographical location. Furthermore, if a user is on the move, it can prioritize receiving ideas related to their current location. In this way, by considering the user's geographical location, it can prioritize receiving highly relevant ideas.

[0126] The judgment unit can apply different judgment algorithms to each category of idea when determining patentability. For example, the patentability judgment algorithm can be customized for each technical field. Furthermore, the criteria for determining patentability can be adjusted according to the application. In addition, the optimal patentability judgment algorithm can be applied to each target market. This improves the accuracy of patentability judgments by applying different judgment algorithms to each category of idea.

[0127] The creation unit can optimize its creation algorithm by referring to past patent application documents when creating patent application documents. For example, past patent application documents can be input into the generation AI, which then analyzes their content to optimize the creation algorithm. It can also improve the accuracy of patent application document creation by referring to past patent application documents. Furthermore, it can analyze past patent application documents to improve the patent application document creation algorithm. As a result, the accuracy of patent application document creation is improved by referring to past patent application documents.

[0128] The provisioning department can select the optimal provisioning method when providing patent application documents, taking into account the user's device information. For example, if the user is using a smartphone, a mobile-friendly provisioning method can be selected. If the user is using a tablet, a provisioning method optimized for a large screen can be selected. Furthermore, if the user is using a desktop computer, a high-resolution provisioning method can be selected. In this way, the optimal provisioning method can be selected by considering the user's device information.

[0129] The management department can select the optimal management method when managing the progress of patent applications by referring to the user's past application history. For example, the user's past application history can be input into a generating AI, which then analyzes the data to select the optimal management method. It can also prioritize suggesting management methods that the user has used in the past (email notifications, dashboard displays, etc.). Furthermore, it can suggest the optimal management method for a specific time period based on the user's past application history. In this way, the optimal progress management method can be selected by referring to the user's past application history.

[0130] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.

[0131] Step 1: The reception desk receives user ideas. User ideas include business ideas, technical ideas, and creative ideas. Users can submit ideas through input forms, and the reception desk also accepts voice and image input. For example, a user can explain their idea verbally, and the system will convert it to text and accept it. Alternatively, a user can submit a handwritten idea as an image, which will then be analyzed and accepted. Step 2: The judgment unit uses a generating AI to determine patentability based on the idea received by the reception unit. Patentability is determined based on criteria such as novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability. The judgment unit uses the generating AI to learn from publicly available patent information and compares the user's idea with existing patent information to determine patentability. The generating AI can also automatically update the patentability criteria and make judgments based on the latest patent information. Furthermore, the judgment unit can provide feedback to the user regarding the patentability judgment result from the generating AI and offer advice for the user to revise their idea. Step 3: The creation unit prepares the patent application documents if the judgment unit determines that a patent application is possible. The creation unit uses generation AI to automatically collect the information necessary for the patent application and prepare the patent application documents. For example, it automatically generates documents such as claims, specifications, and drawings based on the user's idea. The generation AI can also check the format and content of the patent application documents and make corrections as needed. Furthermore, the generation AI can optimize the patent application document creation process and create documents efficiently. Step 4: The providing department provides the user with the patent application documents prepared by the creation department. The providing department can provide the documents via email, cloud storage, or physical mail. For example, the prepared patent application documents can be sent to the user in PDF format. Alternatively, the documents can be uploaded to cloud storage for the user to download. Furthermore, physical documents can be mailed.

[0172] The microphone 238 receives voice commands and other instructions from the user by receiving voice signals. 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.

[0173] 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).

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.).

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, judgment unit, creation unit, and provision unit, is implemented, for example, in at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the reception unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and receives the user's idea. The judgment unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and determines patentability using generated AI. The creation unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and creates the patent application documents. The provision unit is implemented, for example, by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and provides the created patent application documents to the user. 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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."

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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.

[0200] 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.

[0201] 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.
