[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0011] (Configuration of structure moving device 1) 1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration of an example of a structure moving device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The structure moving device 1 is a device that is installed in an installation environment 10 that a user U can use and use.

[0012] The installation environment 10 is installed in, for example, an office, a residential facility, a medical facility, a rehabilitation facility, a public facility, a commercial facility, an educational facility, a tourist facility, a production facility, etc. The installation environment 10 may be indoors or outdoors. In this embodiment, the installation environment 10 will be mainly described as an indoor residential facility.

[0013] The structure moving device 1 comprises, as its constituent elements, a plurality of floor portions 2, a plurality of wall portions 3, and a control device 4.

[0014] The multiple floor sections 2 each have a floor surface member 20 that is arranged and installed on the floor 11 to form a floor surface 110. The multiple floor surface members 20 that each of the multiple floor sections 2 has are, for example, plate-shaped, formed into a rectangular shape in a plan view, and arranged in a matrix. The size of the wall member 30 is, for example, 30 cm long and 30 cm wide in a plan view, but this may be changed as appropriate. In the areas where the multiple floor sections 2 are not arranged, a normal floor is arranged.

[0015] The shape of the floor surface members 20 is not limited to a rectangular shape, and may be, for example, another polygonal shape such as a hexagon, or may be a shape including curves. In this case, all the floor surface members 20 may have the same shape, or some of the floor surface members 20 may have different shapes. The arrangement of the floor surface members 20 is not limited to a matrix shape, and may be a staggered shape or a honeycomb shape. The number of floor surface members 20 arranged is not limited to the example in FIG. 1, and may be changed as appropriate depending on, for example, the size and location of the installation environment 10.

[0016] The multiple floor sections 2 are configured to be able to move the floor surface member 20 in the vertical direction between a position P20 where the floor surface member 20 forms the floor surface 110, and a position P21 where the floor surface member 20 protrudes upward from the floor surface 110. The multiple floor sections 2 are configured as a floor surface moving mechanism (not shown) for moving the floor surface member 20 in the vertical direction, which is appropriately configured by combining, for example, a driving force generating unit for generating driving force such as a motor or a fluid pressure cylinder, a driving force transmitting unit such as a link, a crank, a linear guide, a ball screw, a gear, a belt, a coupling, a bearing, and a detecting unit such as a linear sensor, an encoder sensor, a limit sensor, a torque sensor, and the like.

[0017] Each of the multiple wall sections 3 has a wall member 30 that is arranged and installed on the wall 12 to form a wall surface 120, and an upper surface member 31 connected to the wall member 30. The multiple wall members 30 of each of the multiple wall sections 3 are, for example, plate-shaped, formed into a rectangular shape in a front plan view, and arranged in a matrix. The size of the wall member 30 is, for example, 30 cm long and 30 cm wide in a front view, but may be changed as appropriate. In the areas where the multiple wall sections 3 are not arranged, normal walls are arranged.

[0018] The shape of the wall members 30 is not limited to a rectangular shape, and may be, for example, another polygonal shape such as a hexagon, or may be a shape including a curve. The arrangement of the wall members 30 is not limited to a matrix shape, and may be a staggered shape or a honeycomb shape. The number of wall members 30 arranged is not limited to the example in FIG. 1, and may be changed as appropriate depending on, for example, the size and location of the installation environment 10.

[0019] The multiple wall sections 3 are configured to allow the wall member 30 to move horizontally between a position P30 where the wall member 30 forms the wall surface 120 and a position P31 where the wall member 30 protrudes horizontally from the wall surface 120. The multiple wall sections 3 are configured as a floor surface moving mechanism (not shown) for moving the wall member 30 horizontally by appropriately combining, for example, a driving force generating unit for generating driving force such as a motor or a fluid pressure cylinder, a driving force transmitting unit such as a link, a crank, a linear guide, a ball screw, a gear, a belt, a coupling, a bearing, and a detecting unit such as a linear sensor, an encoder sensor, a limit sensor, a torque sensor, and the like.

[0020] The control device 4 is configured, for example, with a general-purpose or dedicated computer, etc. The control device 4 may be installed under or on the floor surface 110, or may be installed in a remote location different from the installation environment 10.

[0021] The control device 4 has, as its functions, a control function for controlling the operation of multiple floor sections 2 and multiple wall sections 3, and a user interface function for accepting input operations from the user U and notifying the user U of various information by sound, display (characters, icons, images, light, etc.), and vibration.

[0022] The mobile terminal device 5 is a device carried by a user U who uses the installation environment 10, and is composed of, for example, a smartphone, a wearable device, a tablet device, etc. The mobile terminal device 5 is equipped with various sensors (pulse, body temperature, sweat, electrocardiogram, etc.), and operates according to a program such as a browser or an app, thereby having a user state detection function and a user interface function as its functions. Note that, in addition to the various devices described above, the mobile terminal device 5 may also be a remote controller for a television, air conditioner, etc.

[0023] Fig. 2 is a front view showing a first functional example when the floor member 20 and the wall member 30 function as furniture. Fig. 3 is a front view showing a second functional example when the floor member 20 and the wall member 30 function as furniture.

[0024] The floor members 20 are movable in the vertical direction between positions P20 and P21, and function as furniture between positions P20 and P21 depending on the position. The wall members 30 are movable in the horizontal direction between positions P30 and P31, and function as furniture between positions P30 and P31 depending on the position. The furniture may be, for example, at least one of a chair 13, a desk 14, a bed 15, a shelf, and a table, but is not limited to these. The desk 14 may be used by a user in a seated position or a user in a standing position.

[0025] When the floor surface member 20 is moved to position P22, it functions as a chair 13. When the floor surface member 20 is moved to position P23, it functions as a desk 14. When the floor surface member 20 is moved to position P24, it functions as a bed 15.

[0026] When the wall member 30 is moved to position P32, it functions as a chair 13. When the wall member 30 is moved to position P33, it functions as a desk 14. When the wall member 30 is moved to position P34, it functions as a bed 15.

[0027] In the first functional example shown in Fig. 2, a case where the floor member 20 functions as a chair 13 and a desk 14, and a case where the wall member 30 functions as the desk 14 are illustrated. In the second functional example shown in Fig. 3, a case where the floor member 20 functions as a bed 15, and a case where the wall member 30 functions as the bed 15 are illustrated.

[0028] The positions P22 and P32 functioning as the chair 13, the positions P23 and P33 functioning as the desk 14, and the positions P24 and P34 functioning as the bed 15 can be changed within a predetermined range, and are changed, for example, according to the state of the installation environment 10 (the location of the user U, the number of people present, etc.) and the state of the user U (height, fatigue, work schedule, etc.). In this case, the height of the desk 14 may be a height when the user U sits and uses it, or a height when the user U stands and uses it. In addition, the furniture may be composed of any one of the multiple floor parts 2 and the multiple wall parts 3 alone, or may be composed of any combination. In this case, the types of furniture are not limited to the chair 13, the desk 14, and the bed 15. For example, it may be exercise equipment or rehabilitation equipment.

[0029] 4 is a block diagram showing an example of a structure moving device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The control device 4 includes a control unit 40 configured with a processor such as a CPU, MPU, or GPU, a storage unit 41 configured with a HDD, SSD, memory, etc., a communication unit 42 which is a communication interface with the communication network 6, a voice input unit 43 configured with a microphone, etc., a voice output unit 44 configured with a speaker, etc., an operation input unit 45 configured with a button, a switch, a touch panel, etc., a display output unit 46 configured with a display, a touch panel, etc., and a sensor group 47 configured with various sensors. Note that some or all of the units 42 to 46 may be omitted.

[0030] The storage unit 41 stores a structure movement control program 410, operation setting data 411, operation history data 412, and voice recognition data 413. The above-mentioned various information stored in the storage unit 41 may receive update information from a management device (not shown) and be updated as appropriate.

[0031] The operation setting data 411 stores various reference values ​​and is referred to by the control unit 40. The operation setting data 411 is data that can be displayed by the display output unit 46 and edited by the operation input unit 45, for example. The operation history data 412 stores the actions of the user U, the voice uttered by the user U, and the detection values ​​by the sensor group 47 together with the date and time when they were acquired. The voice recognition data 413 stores data and programs for recognizing the contents of the user U's speech from the voice data of the user U input via the voice input unit 43.

[0032] The communication unit 42 is connected to various external devices via a wired or wireless communication network 6, and functions as a communication interface for transmitting and receiving various data. Examples of the external devices include, but are not limited to, a mobile terminal device 5 of a user U located in the installation environment 10, a management device that provides update information, and the like.

[0033] The voice input unit 43 and the operation input unit 45 accept various input operations, and the voice output unit 44 and the display output unit 46 output various information, thereby functioning as a user interface. Note that the operation input unit 45 and the display output unit 46 may be configured, for example, as a touch panel and embedded in the floor member 20 or the wall member 30. In that case, the input operation of the user U may be accepted by a touch operation such as a single tap or a double tap.

[0034] The sensor group 47 is composed of, for example, an infrared sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, an illuminance sensor, an image sensor (camera), a pressure sensor, etc. Each sensor is installed at a different location in the installation environment 10 according to the detection target. Each sensor may, for example, send a detection value detected at a predetermined sampling period to the control unit 40, or may send a detection value to the control unit 40 in response to a detection request from the control unit 40. The detection value may be processed, for example, into an average value, a maximum value, or a minimum value.

[0035] The control unit 40 executes a structure movement control program 410 to function as an environmental information acquisition unit 400 , a user information acquisition unit 401 , an operation information acquisition unit 402 , and a control processing unit 403 .

[0036] The environmental information acquisition unit 400 acquires environmental information indicating the state of the installation environment 10. The state of the installation environment 10 includes, for example, the time, illuminance, temperature and humidity, power, the location of the user U in the installation environment 10, and the number of people present, but is not limited to these. The environmental information acquisition unit 400 may acquire the environmental information as a detection value from the sensor group 47 or from the mobile terminal device 5 of the user U, depending on the above state. For example, the location and the number of people present of the user U may be acquired by performing image processing on an image that is a detection value of an image sensor, may be acquired from a detection value of a pressure sensor, or may be acquired from the communication location and the number of communication devices of the mobile terminal device 5 of the user U.

[0037] The user information acquisition unit 401 acquires user information indicating the state of the user U in the installation environment 10. The state of the user U includes, for example, the physical state of the user U, such as height, weight, pulse, body temperature, sweat, electrocardiogram, and clothing, the psychological state of the user U, such as fatigue and lethargy, and the state of the user U's planned work determined by a schedule or the like, but is not limited to these. The user information acquisition unit 401 may acquire the user information, for example, via the voice input unit 43 or the operation input unit 45, may acquire the user information as a detection value from the sensor group 47, or may acquire the user information from the mobile terminal device 5 of the user U. For example, the physical state and the psychological state of the user U may be acquired by performing image processing on an image that is a detection value of an image sensor, or may be acquired by receiving detection values ​​of various sensors (pulse, body temperature, sweat, electrocardiogram, etc.) provided in the mobile terminal device 5 of the user U from the mobile terminal device 5.

[0038] The operation information acquisition unit 402 acquires operation information indicating operations on the plurality of floor parts 2 and the plurality of wall parts 3. The operations on the plurality of floor parts 2 include, but are not limited to, an upward movement operation, a downward movement operation, a movement operation to a position that functions as a chair 13, a movement operation to a position that functions as a desk 14, and a movement operation to a position that functions as a bed 15. The operation information acquisition unit 402 may acquire the operation information, for example, via the voice input unit 43 or the operation input unit 45, may acquire it as a detection value from the sensor group 47, or may acquire it from the mobile terminal device 5 (which may be a remote controller) of the user U. For example, when the operation input unit 45 is embedded in the floor surface member 20 or the wall surface member 30, the operation information may be acquired by a touch operation on the floor surface member 20 or the wall surface member 30.

[0039] The control processing unit 403 controls the multiple floor sections 2 so as to move the multiple floor surface members 20 in the up and down direction. For example, the control processing unit 403 controls the position and moving speed of the floor surface members 20 by sending a control signal to a driving force generating unit of the floor surface moving mechanism. In this case, the control processing unit 403 controls the multiple floor sections 2 so as to move at least one of the multiple floor surface members 20 to a position where the floor surface member 20 functions as a fixture. The control processing unit 403 may move the multiple floor surface members 20 separately, or may move the entirety (or a part) of them simultaneously.

[0040] The control processing unit 403 controls the multiple wall parts 3 so as to move the multiple wall members 30 and the multiple top members 31 in the horizontal direction. For example, the control processing unit 403 controls the position and moving speed of the wall members 30 and the top members 31 by sending a control signal to a driving force generating unit of the wall moving mechanism. At that time, the control processing unit 403 controls the multiple wall parts 3 so as to move the top member 31 connected to at least one of the multiple wall members 30 to a position where the top member 31 functions as a fixture. The control processing unit 403 may move the multiple wall members 30 and the multiple top members 31 separately, or may move them all (or a part) at the same time.

[0041] When the plurality of floor members 20 or the plurality of wall members 30 are moved, the control processing unit 403 generates notification information to notify the user U of the movement. The notification information is output from at least one of the audio output unit 44 and the display output unit 46, thereby notifying the user U. This allows the user U to recognize that the floor members 20 or the wall members 30 are moving, thereby ensuring the safety of the user U.

[0042] The control processing unit 403 controls the multiple floor sections 2 and the multiple wall sections 3 based on the environmental information acquired by the environmental information acquisition unit 400. For example, the control processing unit 403 determines the type and arrangement of fixtures according to the time and illuminance of the installation environment 10 indicated by the environmental information. The control processing unit 403 also determines the type and arrangement of fixtures according to the location of the user U indicated by the environmental information, and determines the number and arrangement of fixtures (the number and arrangement of chairs 13, etc.) according to the number of users U present indicated by the environmental information. Then, the control processing unit 403 controls the multiple floor sections 2 and the multiple wall sections 3 to function as the determined fixtures.

[0043] The control processing unit 403 controls the multiple floor sections 2 and the multiple wall sections 3 based on the user information acquired by the user information acquisition unit 401. For example, the control processing unit 403 determines the height of the furniture depending on the height of the user U indicated by the user information, and determines the type of furniture depending on the tiredness of the user U indicated by the user information. The control processing unit 403 also determines the type of furniture depending on the work schedule of the user U indicated by the user information (e.g., work, rest, sleep, etc.). Then, the control processing unit 403 controls the multiple floor sections 2 and the multiple wall sections 3 to function as the determined furniture.

[0044] The control processing unit 403 controls the multiple floor sections 2 and the multiple wall sections 3 based on the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 402. For example, the control processing unit 403 controls the multiple floor sections 2 and the multiple wall sections 3 in accordance with a movement operation indicated by the operation information.

[0045] When the control processing unit 403 controls the floor unit 2 and the wall unit 3 based on the environmental information, user information, and operation information, the control processing unit 403 may control the floor unit 2 and the wall unit 3 based on any combination of this information. Furthermore, the control processing unit 403 may set priorities for the environmental information, user information, and operation information, so as to control a plurality of floor units 2 and a plurality of wall units 3 based on information with a high priority.

[0046] Furthermore, the control processing unit 403 may measure a sitting posture time during which the user U sits on the floor surface member 20 functioning as the chair 13, a lying posture time during which the user U lies on the floor surface member 20 functioning as the bed 15, or a standing posture time during which the user U uses the floor surface member 20 functioning as the desk 14 in an upright position, and move the floor surface member 20 upward when the sitting posture time, lying posture time, or standing posture time exceeds a predetermined reference value. This makes it possible to encourage the user U to stand up and prevent the user U from maintaining the same posture for a long period of time.

[0047] At that time, the control processing unit 403 may generate notification information to notify the user U when the sitting posture time, the lying posture time, or the standing posture time exceeds a predetermined reference value. The notification information is output from at least one of the audio output unit 44 and the display output unit 46, thereby making it possible to reliably prompt the user U to stand up or change posture.

[0048] Furthermore, the control processing unit 403 may set the speed of movement of the floor surface member 20 in the upward direction when the sitting posture time, lying posture time, or standing posture time exceeds a reference value to be slower than the speed of movement of the floor surface member 20 in the upward direction to a position where the floor surface member 20 functions as a chair 13, a bed 15, or a desk 14, and move the floor surface member in the upward direction. This prevents the floor surface member 20 from moving suddenly, thereby assisting the user U in standing up or changing his / her posture and ensuring the safety of the user U.

[0049] (Operation of structure moving device 1) Next, the operation of the structure moving device 1 having the above configuration will be described.

[0050] Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing a first operation example of the structure moving device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. A series of processes shown in the flowchart of Fig. 5 is repeatedly executed by the control device 4, for example, at a predetermined cycle.

[0051] First, in step S100, the environmental information acquisition unit 400 monitors the acquisition status of environmental information, and if environmental information is acquired (step S100: Yes), the process proceeds to step S101, and if environmental information is not acquired (step S100: No), the process proceeds to step S110.

[0052] In step S101, the control processing unit 403 controls the plurality of floor sections 2 and the plurality of wall sections 3 based on the environmental information acquired in step S100. At that time, if the user U is located in the installation environment 10, the control processing unit 403 may confirm with the user U whether or not it is OK to move the floor surface member 20 or the wall surface member 30 before moving the floor surface member 20 or the wall surface member 30. Note that even when environmental information is acquired, step S101 may not be executed depending on the content of the environmental information.

[0053] In step S110, the user information acquisition unit 401 monitors the acquisition status of the user information, and if the user information is acquired (step S110: Yes), the process proceeds to step S111, and if the user information is not acquired (step S110: No), the process proceeds to step S120.

[0054] In step S111, the control processing unit 403 controls the plurality of floor portions 2 and the plurality of wall portions 3 based on the user information acquired in step S110. Even if the user information is acquired, step S111 may not be executed depending on the content of the user information.

[0055] In step S120, the operation information acquisition unit 402 monitors the acquisition status of the operation information, and if the operation information is acquired (step S120: Yes), the process proceeds to step S121, and if the operation information is not acquired (step S120: No), the process returns to step S100.

[0056] In step S121, the control processing unit 403 controls the plurality of floor portions 2 and the plurality of wall portions 3 based on the operation information acquired in step S120. Note that even if operation information is acquired, if the safety of the user U cannot be ensured due to the location of the user U, step S121 may not be executed.

[0057] As described above, by executing the series of processes shown in FIG. 5, the multiple floor sections 2 and the multiple wall sections 3 can be dynamically changed according to the state of the installation environment 10 and the needs of the user U.

[0058] Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing a second operation example of the structure moving device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. A series of processes shown in the flowchart of Fig. 6 is repeatedly executed by the control device 4, for example, at a predetermined cycle.

[0059] In step S200, the control processing unit 403 measures the time during which the user U is in a sitting position on the floor surface member 20 functioning as the chair 13.

[0060] In step S210, the control processing unit 403 monitors whether the sitting posture time measured in step S200 has exceeded a predetermined reference value, and if the sitting posture time has exceeded the predetermined reference value (step S210: Yes), the process proceeds to step S220.

[0061] In step S220, the control processing unit 403 moves the floor surface member 20 on which the user U is sitting as the chair 13 in an upward direction, thereby encouraging the user U to stand up.

[0062] 6 is executed in the above manner, the user U is prompted to stand up, and it is possible to prevent the user U from maintaining the same posture for a long period of time. Note that, although the sitting posture time has been described in FIG. 6, the same processing is executed for the lying posture time and the standing posture time.

[0063] Therefore, according to the structure moving device 1 of this embodiment, the multiple floor surface members 20 of the multiple floor sections 2 can be moved vertically between a position P20 that forms the floor surface 110 and a position P21 that protrudes upward from the floor surface 110, and the control device 4 controls the multiple floor sections 2 to move the multiple floor surface members 20 vertically. Therefore, when the floor surface member 20 is used as, for example, a fixture, it is moved upward from the floor surface 110, and when it is not used as a fixture, it is moved to the position P20 that forms the floor surface 110, thereby improving the convenience of the installation environment 10.

[0064] (Other embodiments) Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the technical concept of the present invention.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the structure moving device 1 operates according to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. However, the order in which the steps are performed may be changed as appropriate, and some steps may be omitted.

[0066] In the above embodiment, the structure moving device 1 is described as having a plurality of wall portions 3, but the structure moving device 1 may not have a plurality of wall portions 3. In that case, the control device 4 only needs to control the plurality of floor portions 2.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the structure moving device 1 is described as having a plurality of wall portions 3 along with a plurality of floor portions 2, but the structure moving device 1 may be configured to have a plurality of ceiling portions instead of or in addition to the plurality of wall portions 3. In that case, the control device 4 may control the operation of the plurality of floor portions 2, and also control the operation of the plurality of ceiling portions instead of or in addition to the plurality of wall portions 3.

[0068] In the above case, the multiple ceiling parts each have a ceiling surface member that is arranged on the ceiling to form a ceiling surface. The multiple ceiling surface members that each of the multiple ceiling parts has are formed, for example, in a rectangular shape in a plan view and arranged in a matrix. The shape of the ceiling surface member is not limited to a rectangular shape, and may be, for example, another polygonal shape such as a hexagon, or a shape including a curve. The arrangement form of the ceiling surface members is not limited to a matrix shape, and may be a staggered shape or a honeycomb shape. The number of ceiling surface members arranged may be changed as appropriate depending on, for example, the size and location of the installation environment 10.

[0069] The multiple ceiling sections are configured to be able to move the ceiling surface member in the vertical direction between a position where the ceiling surface member forms a ceiling surface and a position where the ceiling surface member protrudes downward from the ceiling surface. The multiple ceiling sections are configured as a ceiling surface moving mechanism for moving the ceiling surface member in the vertical direction by appropriately combining, for example, a driving force generating unit for generating a driving force such as a motor or a fluid pressure cylinder, a driving force transmitting unit such as a link, a crank, a linear guide, a ball screw, a gear, a belt, a coupling, a bearing, and a detecting unit such as a linear sensor, an encoder sensor, a limit sensor, a torque sensor, and the like.

[0070] The control processing unit 403 controls the multiple ceiling sections so as to move the multiple ceiling surface members in the up and down directions. For example, the control processing unit 403 controls the position and moving speed of the ceiling surface members by sending a control signal to a driving force generating unit of the ceiling surface moving mechanism. At that time, the control processing unit 403 controls the multiple ceiling sections so as to move at least one of the multiple ceiling surface members to a position where the ceiling surface member functions as a fixture. When the ceiling surface member is, for example, plate-shaped and the ceiling surface member is made to function as a fixture, the control processing unit 403 controls the multiple ceiling sections so as to move the ceiling surface member to a position where the opposite surface of the ceiling surface functions as the seat surface of the chair 13, the top surface of the desk 14, and the top surface of the bed 15. At that time, the control processing unit 403 may control the multiple ceiling sections based on, for example, environmental information, user information, or operation information. Note that the control processing unit 403 may move the multiple ceiling surface members separately, or may move the entirety (or a part) of the multiple ceiling surface members simultaneously.

[0071] In the above embodiment, the control device 4 is described as being configured as a single device, but may be configured as a plurality of devices. In that case, the functions of the control device 4 may be distributed among the plurality of devices.

[0072] In the above embodiment, the control device 4 is described as having the control processing unit 403 that controls the operations of the plurality of floor sections 2 and the plurality of wall sections 3, but the control processing unit 403 may utilize artificial intelligence technology. For example, the control processing unit 403 may input environmental information and user information into a machine-learned model to determine the position to which the floor member 20 is moved relative to the plurality of floor sections 2 and the position to which the wall member 30 and the top member 31 are moved relative to the plurality of wall sections 3.

[0073] In the above embodiment, the case has been described in which the control device 4 includes the control processing unit 403 that controls the operation of the multiple floor parts 2 and the multiple wall parts 3, but the control device 4 may limit the multiple floor parts 2 and the multiple wall parts 3 to be operated, for example, based on environmental information or user information. For example, the operation of the floor part 2 where the user U is located may be temporarily restricted, and the operation of the floor parts 2 and the wall parts 3 that may collide with the user U when the floor surface member 20 or the wall surface member 30 is moved may be temporarily restricted.

[0074] In the above embodiment, the structure movement control program 410 is stored in the storage unit 41, but it may be provided by being recorded in a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM or DVD in an installable or executable format file. Also, the structure movement control program 410 may be provided by being stored on a computer connected to a network such as the Internet and downloaded via the network. [Explanation of symbols]
