[0027] Furthermore, other devices besides the data processing device 12 may also have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device (e.g., a generation server) 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 having the data generation model 58. The data processing device 12 may also be a server device or a terminal device owned by a user (e.g., a mobile phone, robot, home appliance, etc.). Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0028] (Example of form 1) The R&D partner matching system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that efficiently matches R&D partners such as companies, research institutions, and universities. In this system, users register their organization's profile and input the desired partner criteria. Next, the system uses AI to deeply understand the registered information and evaluate similarities and complementarity. The system not only proposes the optimal match but also suggests new research themes and innovation directions that may arise from collaboration. For example, the system allows users to register their organization's profile and input the desired partner criteria. The system uses natural language processing and machine learning to deeply understand the registered information and evaluate similarities and complementarity. For example, the system analyzes the user's research themes, technical capabilities, resources, and goals to propose the optimal partnership. The system goes beyond mere matching, playing a role in revitalizing the R&D ecosystem and promoting open innovation. Through continuous learning and improvement by AI, the accuracy of matching is constantly improved, providing more valuable suggestions to users. For example, the system targets R&D departments of large corporations, small and medium-sized enterprises and venture companies, universities and research institutions, public institutions (such as industrial promotion departments), and individual researchers and inventors. Challenges faced by these targets include difficulty in finding suitable R&D partners, lack of opportunities for collaboration with other fields, difficulty in mutual complementarity of resources and technologies, slow progress in promoting open innovation, and declining efficiency and productivity of R&D. To address these challenges, the system provides highly accurate matching using AI, cross-disciplinary partner suggestions, analysis of mutual complementarity of resources and technologies, suggestions for new research themes and innovations, a secure information sharing platform, and online and offline networking support.Applications of generative AI include understanding research themes and technologies through natural language processing, optimizing matching algorithms using machine learning, analyzing interdisciplinary relationships using knowledge graphs, predicting future research trends with predictive models, and providing user support through conversational AI. This allows the R&D partner matching system to efficiently match users with the most suitable R&D partners by registering, analyzing, suggesting, and providing insights based on their profiles.
[0029] The R&D partner matching system according to this embodiment comprises a reception unit, an analysis unit, a proposal unit, and a suggestion unit. The reception unit registers the user's profile. The user's profile includes, but is not limited to, name, affiliation, field of expertise, and research theme. For example, the reception unit allows the user to register their organization's profile and input the desired partner criteria. The analysis unit analyzes the information registered by the reception unit using natural language processing and machine learning. For example, the analysis unit uses natural language processing technology to analyze the user's research theme, technical capabilities, resources, and goals. The analysis unit also uses machine learning algorithms to evaluate the similarity and complementarity of the registered information. For example, the analysis unit uses machine learning algorithms such as neural networks and support vector machines to analyze the registered information. The proposal unit proposes the most suitable partner based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the proposal unit proposes the most suitable partner based on factors such as the degree of match in field of expertise, the relevance of research themes, and past achievements. For example, the proposal unit proposes the most suitable partner using evaluation criteria such as cosine similarity and correlation coefficient. The suggestion section suggests new research themes and innovation directions based on the partnerships proposed by the proposal section. For example, the suggestion section suggests new research themes and innovation directions that may arise from collaboration. For example, the suggestion section suggests new research themes and innovation directions based on technological breakthroughs or social impact. As a result, the R&D partner matching system according to this embodiment can efficiently match the optimal R&D partner by registering, analyzing, proposing, and suggesting user profiles.
[0030] The reception desk registers user profiles. User profiles include, but are not limited to, name, affiliation, specialty, and research topic. Specifically, users can input detailed information about themselves through a web interface. In addition to name and affiliation, users can select specific keywords and research field categories for their specialty. Furthermore, research topics can be described in detail using a free-text format, accurately reflecting the user's research content and areas of interest. The reception desk also includes a function for users to input the criteria for the partner they are seeking. For example, if a user is looking for a partner with specific technical skills or expertise in a particular research field, they can set detailed criteria. This makes it easier for users to find a partner that meets their needs. The reception desk also includes security features to safely manage the information registered by users. For example, registered information is encrypted, and measures are in place to prevent unauthorized external access. This allows users to register their information with peace of mind. Furthermore, the reception desk provides a function to periodically update the information registered by users. For example, if a user starts working on a new research topic or changes their affiliation, the latest information can always be reflected. This allows the system to always perform matching based on the latest information.
[0031] The analysis unit uses natural language processing and machine learning to analyze information registered by the reception unit. Specifically, it uses natural language processing technology to analyze users' research themes, technical skills, resources, and goals. For example, it analyzes text data of research themes entered by users in a free-text format to extract keywords and understand the context. This allows for an accurate understanding of the user's research content and areas of interest. The analysis unit also uses machine learning algorithms to evaluate the similarity and complementarity of registered information. For example, it uses machine learning algorithms such as neural networks and support vector machines to analyze user profile information and evaluate similarity and complementarity with other users. This provides foundational data for finding the optimal partner. Furthermore, the analysis unit builds a feedback loop to improve matching accuracy by learning from past matching data and success stories. For example, it analyzes data from past successful partnerships to determine what factors contributed to their success. This improves the accuracy of future matching. The analysis unit can also collect user feedback to improve its analysis algorithms. For example, it collects how users evaluated proposed partners and adjusts the analysis algorithms based on that data. This allows the analysis unit to perform analyses based on the latest information and feedback at all times, in order to propose the most suitable partner.
[0032] The proposal unit proposes the most suitable partner based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. Specifically, it proposes the most suitable partner based on factors such as the degree of match in areas of expertise, the relevance of research themes, and past achievements. For example, it lists other users whose areas of expertise match the user's and prioritizes proposing users with a high degree of relevance to their research themes. It also considers past achievements and proposes partners who are predicted to have a high success rate in collaborative research. The proposal unit proposes the most suitable partner using evaluation criteria such as cosine similarity and correlation coefficients. This allows users to find the partner that best suits their needs. Furthermore, the proposal unit presents the user with multiple partner candidates and assists in selecting the most suitable partner. For example, it displays a list of each partner candidate's profile information, past achievements, and detailed research themes to make it easier for users to compare and consider them. The proposal unit also provides a function for users to provide feedback on the proposed partners. For example, users can provide feedback on whether the proposed partner was appropriate, what was good about it, and what could be improved. This allows the proposal unit to improve its proposal algorithm based on user feedback and improve the accuracy of future proposals. Furthermore, the proposal team also provides support for users to contact proposed partners. For example, it offers a function to automatically send emails to proposed partners and share contact information. This allows users to smoothly initiate partnerships.
[0033] The Suggestion Section suggests new research themes and innovation directions based on the partnership proposed by the Proposal Section. Specifically, it suggests new research themes and innovation directions that could arise from collaboration. For example, it suggests what new research themes could be considered by utilizing the technological strengths and resources of the proposed partnership. It also suggests what kind of innovations can be expected, taking into account social impact and market needs. The Suggestion Section suggests new research themes and innovation directions based on, for example, technological breakthroughs and social impact. This allows users to find new research themes and innovation directions based on the proposed partnership. Furthermore, the Suggestion Section can also propose concrete action plans to users. For example, it specifically suggests what steps should be taken to proceed with research and what resources should be utilized based on the proposed partnership. This makes it easier for users to create concrete action plans. The Suggestion Section also supports users in making the most of the proposed partnership. For example, it advises on how to proceed with joint research and how to announce results based on the proposed partnership. This allows users to effectively utilize the proposed partnership and achieve maximum results. Furthermore, the insights unit can receive feedback from users regarding the results obtained through proposed partnerships, and use this feedback to improve future insights. For example, it can collect data on the results of joint research and the progress of innovations, and use this data to improve the insights algorithm. This allows the insights unit to always provide optimal insights based on the latest information and feedback.

[0099] The suggestion unit can estimate the user's emotions and prioritize suggestions based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, the suggestion unit may prioritize important suggestions and postpone others. If the user is relaxed, the suggestion unit may provide detailed suggestions and comprehensive information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, the suggestion unit may provide only the most important suggestions, allowing for additional suggestions to be added later. This enables efficient suggestions by prioritizing suggestions according to the user's emotions. Emotion estimation is achieved using an emotion estimation function, such as an emotion engine or generative AI. Generative AI may be, but is not limited to, text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the processing described above in the suggestion unit may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or not using generative AI.
[0100] The suggestion unit can provide suggestions while considering the geographical distribution of collaborations. For example, the suggestion unit can prioritize suggesting nearby collaboration partners based on the user's location. It can also suggest region-specific collaboration partners based on the user's geographical distribution. Furthermore, it can prioritize suggesting collaboration partners related to the user's location. This makes it possible to provide highly relevant suggestions by considering the geographical distribution of collaborations. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or without using generative AI.
[0101] The suggestion unit can improve the accuracy of its suggestions by referring to relevant literature on the collaboration. For example, the suggestion unit can improve the accuracy of its suggestions by referring to the latest research literature related to the collaboration. It can also improve the accuracy of its suggestions by referring to past research literature related to the collaboration. Furthermore, the suggestion unit can improve the accuracy of its suggestions by utilizing a literature database related to the collaboration. As a result, the accuracy of the suggestions is improved by referring to relevant literature on the collaboration. Some or all of the above processing in the suggestion unit may be performed using, for example, generative AI, or without using generative AI.
[0102] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.
[0103] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the depth of the analysis based on those emotions.

By adjusting the suggestion method according to the user's emotions, a deeper understanding of the user is achieved.
[0106] The reception desk can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the profile registration interface based on those emotions. For example, if the user is stressed, it can provide a simple and intuitive interface and minimize the input steps. If the user is relaxed, it can provide detailed input options and suggest customizable input methods. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can prioritize voice input to allow for quick profile registration. This improves user convenience by adjusting the interface according to the user's emotions.
[0107] The analysis unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the display method of the analysis results based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is nervous, it can provide a simple and highly visible display method. If the user is relaxed, it can provide a display method that includes detailed information. Furthermore, if the user is in a hurry, it can provide a display method that gets straight to the point. In this way, by adjusting the display method of the analysis results according to the user's emotions, the user's understanding is deepened.
[0108] The reception desk can analyze a user's past registration history and suggest the most suitable registration method. For example, it can automatically display information that the user has frequently entered in the past as suggestions. It can also prioritize suggesting input methods that the user has used in the past (voice, text, etc.). Furthermore, it can predict and suggest information that the user will use at specific times based on their past registration history. In this way, by analyzing past registration history, the system can suggest the most suitable registration method for each user.
[0109] The analysis unit can perform interdisciplinary relationship analysis using knowledge graphs. For example, it can analyze interdisciplinary relationships using knowledge graphs.

As a result, the accuracy of interdisciplinary relationship analysis is improved by using knowledge graphs.
[0110] The proposal team can adjust the level of detail in proposals based on the importance of each partner. For example, they can provide detailed proposals to important partners and simplified ones to others. They can also provide detailed proposals to partners that the user is particularly interested in. Furthermore, they can provide concise proposals to less important partners, shortening the overall proposal time. By adjusting the level of detail in proposals based on the importance of each partner, efficient proposals become possible.
[0111] The suggestion function can select the optimal suggestion method by referring to past collaboration data when providing suggestions. For example, it can select the optimal suggestion method based on past successful collaboration data. It can also select a suggestion method that avoids risks based on past unsuccessful collaboration data. Furthermore, it can analyze past collaboration data and select the most effective suggestion method. In this way, the optimal suggestion method can be selected by referring to past collaboration data.
[0112] The reception desk can prioritize retrieving highly relevant information by considering the user's geographical location during profile registration. For example, it can prioritize displaying information on nearby research institutions and companies based on the user's current location. It can also suggest research themes and projects related to the user's location. Furthermore, it can prioritize retrieving region-specific resources and technologies based on the user's geographical location. In this way, by considering geographical location, it can prioritize retrieving highly relevant information.
[0113] The following briefly describes the processing flow for example form 2.
[0114] Step 1: The reception desk registers the user's profile. The user's profile includes name, affiliation, area of expertise, research topic, etc. The user registers their organization's profile and enters the criteria for the partner they are looking for. Step 2: The analysis unit analyzes the information registered by the reception unit using natural language processing and machine learning. The analysis unit analyzes the user's research themes, technical skills, resources, goals, etc., and evaluates the similarity and complementarity of the registered information. For example, it uses machine learning algorithms such as neural networks and support vector machines. Step 3: The proposal department proposes the most suitable partner based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis department. The proposal department proposes the most suitable partner based on factors such as the degree of agreement in areas of expertise, the relevance of research themes, and past achievements. For example, evaluation criteria such as cosine similarity and correlation coefficient may be used. Step 4: The Implications team suggests new research themes and innovation directions based on the partnership proposed by the Proposal team. The Implications team suggests new research themes and innovation directions that could arise from the collaboration. For example, they might suggest these based on technological breakthroughs or social impact.

[0156] 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).
[0157] 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.
[0158] 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.
[0159] 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.
[0160] 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.
[0161] 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.
[0162] 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.
[0163] 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.).
[0164] 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.
[0165] 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.
[0166] 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.
[0167] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the reception unit, analysis unit, proposal unit, and suggestion unit, is implemented 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 registers the user's profile. The analysis unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and analyzes the registered information using natural language processing and machine learning. The proposal unit is implemented by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12 and proposes the most suitable partner based on the analysis results. The suggestion unit is implemented by the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and suggests new research themes or directions for innovation based on the proposed partnership. 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.
[0168] 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.
[0169] 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.
[0170] 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.
[0171] 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.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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."
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
