[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) A system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that provides an approach to recreating a deceased person using generative AI. This system uses a "cat-type robot" that provides physical and mental care to the user while they are alive. For physical care, the cat-type care robot acquires the user's health information (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate, calorie information, etc.) and manages their health based on this information. For mental care, it alleviates the user's loneliness through daily conversations. The content of the conversations is recorded, and the user's thoughts, catchphrases, values, messages, etc. are acquired. After the user dies, an AI capable of conversing in a manner reminiscent of the deceased is created based on this information. This AI uses generative AI to recreate the user and provides conversations to help remember the deceased. For example, the cat-type care robot is a system comprising an acquisition unit (which may include AI processing) that acquires the user's health information, a management unit (which may include AI processing) that manages the health based on the acquired health information, a dialogue unit (which includes AI processing or generative AI processing) that engages in dialogue with the user, and a recreation unit (which includes generative AI processing) that recreates the user using generative AI based on the dialogue with the user. Another feature is the inclusion of a care robot that includes an acquisition unit, a management unit, and a dialogue unit. This allows the system, which uses generative AI, to acquire, manage, and interact with the user's health information, and then reproduce it using the generative AI.
[0029] The system according to this embodiment comprises an acquisition unit, a management unit, an interaction unit, and a reproduction unit. The acquisition unit acquires the user's health information. The user's health information includes, but is not limited to, blood pressure, heart rate, and calorie information. For example, the acquisition unit measures the user's blood pressure using a blood pressure monitor. The acquisition unit can also measure the user's heart rate using a heart rate monitor. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can acquire the user's calorie information using a calorie meter. For example, the acquisition unit measures systolic and diastolic blood pressure using a blood pressure monitor and stores this as data. The heart rate monitor measures resting heart rate and exercise heart rate and stores this as data. The calorie meter measures calories consumed and calories consumed and stores this as data. The management unit manages the user's health based on the health information acquired by the acquisition unit. For example, the management unit monitors the user's health status. The management unit can also notify the user of abnormal values. Furthermore, the management unit can provide health advice based on the health information. For example, the management unit notifies the user if it detects an abnormal blood pressure reading. It also notifies the user if it detects an abnormal heart rate reading. It can also provide advice on appropriate diet and exercise based on calorie information. The dialogue unit engages in daily conversations with the user and records the content of those conversations. The dialogue unit can, for example, conduct voice conversations. It can also conduct text conversations. Furthermore, the dialogue unit can acquire the user's thoughts, catchphrases, values, and messages. For example, the dialogue unit uses speech recognition technology to save the user's conversation content as text data. In the case of text conversations, it saves the text entered by the user exactly as it is. The reproduction unit uses generative AI to recreate the user based on the information recorded by the dialogue unit. The reproduction unit can, for example, recreate the user's voice. It can also recreate the user's actions. Furthermore, it can recreate the user's facial expressions. For example, the reproduction unit uses generative AI to recreate the user's voice tone and speaking style. Action recreation can include the user's unique gestures and movements. Reproducing facial expressions can include the user's smile, surprise, and other expressions.As a result, the system according to this embodiment can acquire, manage, interact with, and reproduce the user's health information using a generative AI.
[0030] The acquisition unit acquires the user's health information. This information includes, but is not limited to, blood pressure, heart rate, and calorie information. For example, the acquisition unit measures the user's blood pressure using a blood pressure monitor. Specifically, the blood pressure monitor measures systolic and diastolic blood pressure and stores this data. Systolic blood pressure indicates the pressure when the heart contracts and pumps blood, and diastolic blood pressure indicates the pressure when the heart expands and receives blood. This allows for a detailed understanding of the user's blood pressure fluctuations. The acquisition unit can also measure the user's heart rate using a heart rate monitor. The heart rate monitor measures resting heart rate and exercise heart rate and stores this data. Resting heart rate indicates the heart rate when the user is at rest, and exercise heart rate indicates the heart rate when the user is exercising. This allows for detailed monitoring of the user's cardiac health. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can also acquire the user's calorie information using a calorie counter. The calorie counter measures calories consumed and calories taken in and stores this data. Calories burned represent the amount of energy the user expends through daily activities and exercise, while calories consumed represent the amount of energy the user takes in from food. This allows for a detailed understanding of the user's energy balance. The data acquisition unit centrally manages this data and provides basic information for comprehensively evaluating the user's health status.
[0031] The Management Department manages users' health based on health information acquired by the Acquisition Department. For example, the Management Department monitors users' health status. Specifically, it monitors collected blood pressure, heart rate, and calorie information in real time and immediately notifies users if abnormal values are detected. For example, if blood pressure exceeds the normal range, the Management Department can issue a warning to the user and urge them to see a doctor. Similarly, it will also notify users if their heart rate is abnormally high or low. Furthermore, the Management Department can provide health advice based on health information. For example, based on calorie information, it can provide users with advice on appropriate diet and exercise. Specifically, if calorie intake exceeds calorie expenditure, the Management Department can suggest that the user revise their diet or increase their exercise. In addition, the Management Department can analyze users' health data over the long term to understand trends in their health status. This allows for early detection of changes in users' health status and the implementation of appropriate measures. The Management Department plays a crucial role in comprehensively managing users' health and supporting health maintenance and improvement.
[0032] The dialogue unit engages in daily conversations with the user and records their content. For example, the dialogue unit conducts voice conversations. Specifically, it uses speech recognition technology to save the user's conversation content as text data. Speech recognition technology can analyze the user's utterances in real time and convert them into text. This allows for accurate recording of the user's conversations. The dialogue unit can also conduct text-based conversations. In the case of text-based conversations, it saves the text entered by the user exactly as it is. This allows for an accurate understanding of the user's intentions and emotions. Furthermore, the dialogue unit can acquire the user's thoughts, catchphrases, values, and messages. For example, the dialogue unit can record the words and phrases the user uses daily, understanding the user's personality and characteristics. This allows the dialogue unit to make communication with the user more natural and approachable. Through conversations with the user, the dialogue unit understands the user's psychological state and emotional changes, providing important information for appropriate responses.
[0033] The reproduction unit uses generative AI to recreate the user based on the information recorded by the dialogue unit. For example, the reproduction unit can recreate the user's voice. Specifically, the generative AI learns the user's voice tone and speaking style and can generate the user's voice based on this. This allows for a faithful recreation of the user's voice. The reproduction unit can also recreate the user's actions. The generative AI learns the user's unique gestures and movements and can recreate the user's actions based on this. For example, it can recreate the user's common hand movements and postures. Furthermore, the reproduction unit can recreate the user's facial expressions. The generative AI learns the changes in the user's facial expressions and can recreate them based on this. For example, it can recreate the user's smile or surprised expression. In this way, the reproduction unit can comprehensively recreate the user's voice, actions, and facial expressions, enhancing the user's presence. The reproduction unit plays a crucial role in making communication with the user more natural and approachable by faithfully recreating the user's personality and characteristics using generative AI.
[0034] The system includes a care robot comprising an acquisition unit, a management unit, and a dialogue unit. The care robot can acquire, manage, and interact with the user's health information. The care robot has, for example, a mobility function, which allows it to move freely around the user. The care robot also has a dialogue function, which allows it to engage in voice and text dialogue with the user. Furthermore, the care robot has a monitoring function, which allows it to constantly monitor the user's health status. For example, the care robot can periodically measure the user's blood pressure and notify the user if an abnormal value is detected. Heart rate monitoring can be performed in a similar manner. By monitoring calorie information, the care robot can understand the user's diet and exercise habits and provide appropriate advice. Thus, the care robot can acquire, manage, and interact with the user's health information. Some or all of the above-described processes in the care robot may be performed using, for example, AI, or not using AI. For example, the care robot can use AI to analyze data and evaluate the user's health status in order to acquire the user's health information. Furthermore, care robots can use AI to analyze user emotions and generate appropriate responses in their conversational functions. In addition, care robots can use AI to detect abnormal values in their monitoring functions and respond quickly.
[0035] The data acquisition unit can acquire health information, including the user's blood pressure, heart rate, and calorie information. For example, the data acquisition unit can measure the user's blood pressure using a blood pressure monitor. The blood pressure monitor measures systolic and diastolic blood pressure and stores this data. The data acquisition unit can also measure the user's heart rate using a heart rate monitor. The heart rate monitor measures resting heart rate and exercise heart rate and stores this data. Furthermore, the data acquisition unit can acquire the user's calorie information using a calorie counter. The calorie counter measures calories consumed and calories taken in and stores this data. This allows the data acquisition unit to acquire detailed health information about the user. Some or all of the above processing in the data acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data acquisition unit can input data acquired from the blood pressure monitor into AI, which can analyze the data and detect abnormal values. Alternatively, the data acquisition unit can input data acquired from the heart rate monitor into AI, which can analyze the data and evaluate the user's health status. Furthermore, the data acquisition unit inputs the data acquired by the calorie meter into the AI, which then analyzes the data and provides appropriate advice.
[0036] The management unit can manage the user's health based on the acquired health information. For example, the management unit can monitor the user's health status. Based on the acquired health information, the management unit can continuously monitor the user's health status. The management unit can also notify the user of abnormal values. For example, if an abnormal blood pressure value is detected, the management unit will notify the user. Similarly, if an abnormal heart rate value is detected, the management unit will also notify the user. Furthermore, the management unit can provide health advice based on the health information. For example, based on calorie information, it can provide advice on appropriate diet and exercise. In this way, the management unit can manage the user's health based on the acquired health information. Some or all of the above processes in the management unit may be performed using AI, for example, or not using AI. For example, the management unit can input the acquired health information into AI, and the AI can analyze the data and evaluate the user's health status. The management unit can also use AI to detect abnormal values. Furthermore, the management unit can use AI to provide health advice.
[0037] The dialogue unit can engage in daily conversations with the user and record their content. For example, the dialogue unit can conduct voice conversations. The dialogue unit uses speech recognition technology to save the user's conversation content as text data. The dialogue unit can also conduct text conversations. In the case of text conversations, the dialogue unit saves the text entered by the user as is. Furthermore, the dialogue unit can also acquire the user's thoughts, catchphrases, values, and messages. For example, the dialogue unit can analyze the user's conversation content and extract and save specific keywords and phrases. This allows the dialogue unit to record daily conversations with the user. Some or all of the above processing in the dialogue unit may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the dialogue unit can input data acquired using speech recognition technology into AI, and the AI can analyze the data and extract specific keywords and phrases. Alternatively, the dialogue unit can input text conversation data into AI, and the AI can analyze the data and extract the user's values and messages.
[0038] The reproduction unit can reproduce the user using a generative AI based on the information recorded in the dialogue unit. For example, the reproduction unit can reproduce the user's voice. The reproduction unit can reproduce the user's voice tone and speaking style using a generative AI. The reproduction unit can also reproduce the user's actions. The reproduction unit can reproduce the user's unique gestures and movements using a generative AI. Furthermore, the reproduction unit can also reproduce the user's facial expressions. The reproduction unit can reproduce the user's smile, surprised expression, etc., using a generative AI. In this way, the reproduction unit can reproduce the user using a generative AI. Some or all of the above processing in the reproduction unit may be performed using a generative AI, or not. For example, the reproduction unit can input audio data recorded in the dialogue unit into a generative AI, and the generative AI can reproduce the voice. Also, the reproduction unit can input action data recorded in the dialogue unit into a generative AI, and the generative AI can reproduce the actions. Furthermore, the reproduction unit can input facial expression data recorded in the dialogue unit into a generative AI, and the generative AI can reproduce the facial expressions.
[0039] The data acquisition unit can analyze the user's past health data and select the optimal acquisition method. For example, the acquisition unit can analyze the user's past blood pressure data and acquire health information during the most stable time period. The acquisition unit can also be configured to avoid acquiring data after exercise based on the user's past heart rate data. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can prioritize acquiring data after meals, referencing the user's past calorie data. In this way, the acquisition unit can analyze the user's past health data and select the optimal acquisition method. Some or all of the above processing in the acquisition unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the acquisition unit can input past health data into AI, which can analyze the data and select the optimal acquisition method. The acquisition unit can also have AI adjust the acquisition timing based on past data. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can have AI customize the acquisition method based on past data.
[0040] The data acquisition unit can filter health information based on the user's current lifestyle and activity level. For example, if the user is exercising, the unit can adjust the timing to acquire health information after the exercise. It can also acquire health information while the user is resting, allowing them to relax. Furthermore, if the user is working, the unit can be configured to acquire health information during work breaks.

[0068] (Example of form 2) A system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that provides an approach to recreating a deceased person using generative AI. This system uses a "cat-type robot" that provides physical and mental care to the user while they are alive. For physical care, the cat-type care robot acquires the user's health information (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate, calorie information, etc.) and manages their health based on this information. For mental care, it alleviates the user's loneliness through daily conversations. The content of the conversations is recorded, and the user's thoughts, catchphrases, values, messages, etc. are acquired. After the user dies, an AI capable of conversing in a manner reminiscent of the deceased is created based on this information. This AI uses generative AI to recreate the user and provides conversations to help remember the deceased. For example, the cat-type care robot is a system comprising an acquisition unit (which may include AI processing) that acquires the user's health information, a management unit (which may include AI processing) that manages the health based on the acquired health information, a dialogue unit (which includes AI processing or generative AI processing) that engages in dialogue with the user, and a recreation unit (which includes generative AI processing) that recreates the user using generative AI based on the dialogue with the user. Another feature is the inclusion of a care robot that includes an acquisition unit, a management unit, and a dialogue unit. This allows the system, which uses generative AI, to acquire, manage, and interact with the user's health information, and then reproduce it using the generative AI.
[0069] The system according to this embodiment comprises an acquisition unit, a management unit, an interaction unit, and a reproduction unit. The acquisition unit acquires the user's health information. The user's health information includes, but is not limited to, blood pressure, heart rate, and calorie information. For example, the acquisition unit measures the user's blood pressure using a blood pressure monitor. The acquisition unit can also measure the user's heart rate using a heart rate monitor.

[0070] The acquisition unit acquires the user's health information. This information includes, but is not limited to, blood pressure, heart rate, and calorie information. For example, the acquisition unit measures the user's blood pressure using a blood pressure monitor. Specifically, the blood pressure monitor measures systolic and diastolic blood pressure and stores this data. Systolic blood pressure indicates the pressure when the heart contracts and pumps blood, and diastolic blood pressure indicates the pressure when the heart expands and receives blood. This allows for a detailed understanding of the user's blood pressure fluctuations. The acquisition unit can also measure the user's heart rate using a heart rate monitor. The heart rate monitor measures resting heart rate and exercise heart rate and stores this data. Resting heart rate indicates the heart rate when the user is at rest, and exercise heart rate indicates the heart rate when the user is exercising. This allows for detailed monitoring of the user's cardiac health. Furthermore, the acquisition unit can also acquire the user's calorie information using a calorie counter. The calorie counter measures calories consumed and calories taken in and stores this data. Calories burned represent the amount of energy the user expends through daily activities and exercise, while calories consumed represent the amount of energy the user takes in from food. This allows for a detailed understanding of the user's energy balance. The data acquisition unit centrally manages this data and provides basic information for comprehensively evaluating the user's health status.
[0071] The Management Department manages users' health based on health information acquired by the Acquisition Department. For example, the Management Department monitors users' health status. Specifically, it monitors collected blood pressure, heart rate, and calorie information in real time and immediately notifies users if abnormal values are detected. For example, if blood pressure exceeds the normal range, the Management Department can issue a warning to the user and urge them to see a doctor. Similarly, it will also notify users if their heart rate is abnormally high or low. Furthermore, the Management Department can provide health advice based on health information. For example, based on calorie information, it can provide users with advice on appropriate diet and exercise. Specifically, if calorie intake exceeds calorie expenditure, the Management Department can suggest that the user revise their diet or increase their exercise. In addition, the Management Department can analyze users' health data over the long term to understand trends in their health status. This allows for early detection of changes in users' health status and the implementation of appropriate measures. The Management Department plays a crucial role in comprehensively managing users' health and supporting health maintenance and improvement.

Speech recognition technology can analyze the user's utterances in real time and convert them into text. This allows for accurate recording of the user's conversations. The dialogue unit can also conduct text-based conversations. In the case of text-based conversations, it saves the text entered by the user exactly as it is. This allows for an accurate understanding of the user's intentions and emotions. Furthermore, the dialogue unit can acquire the user's thoughts, catchphrases, values, and messages. For example, the dialogue unit can record the words and phrases the user uses daily, understanding the user's personality and characteristics. This allows the dialogue unit to make communication with the user more natural and approachable. Through conversations with the user, the dialogue unit understands the user's psychological state and emotional changes, providing important information for appropriate responses.
[0073] The reproduction unit uses generative AI to recreate the user based on the information recorded by the dialogue unit. For example, the reproduction unit can recreate the user's voice. Specifically, the generative AI learns the user's voice tone and speaking style and can generate the user's voice based on this. This allows for a faithful recreation of the user's voice. The reproduction unit can also recreate the user's actions. The generative AI learns the user's unique gestures and movements and can recreate the user's actions based on this. For example, it can recreate the user's common hand movements and postures. Furthermore, the reproduction unit can recreate the user's facial expressions. The generative AI learns the changes in the user's facial expressions and can recreate them based on this. For example, it can recreate the user's smile or surprised expression. In this way, the reproduction unit can comprehensively recreate the user's voice, actions, and facial expressions, enhancing the user's presence.

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.).
[0171] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414.

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.
[0172] 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 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] For example, the acquisition unit can acquire the user's health information using the camera 42 and sensors of the robot 414. The management unit can perform health management based on the health information acquired by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The dialogue unit can have daily conversations with the user using the control unit 46A of the robot 414 and record the content of those conversations. The reproduction unit can reproduce the user using AI generated by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. The correspondence between each unit and the devices and control units is not limited to the example described above and can be modified in various ways.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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.
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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."
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
[0188] 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.
[0189] 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.
[0190] 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.
[0191] 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.
