[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 dog health management system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that collects dog behavior patterns and health data using a device or app and analyzes it using generative AI. This system provides information and suggestions for improvement regarding the dog's health status and behavior. It also provides a service that allows owners to consult with a veterinarian online. For example, data such as the dog's activity level, sleep patterns, and food intake are collected using a device or app. For example, a sensor attached to the dog's collar measures the activity level, and the app records the food intake. This data is input into the generative AI. Next, the generative AI analyzes the collected data. The generative AI analyzes the dog's activity level, sleep patterns, food intake, etc., and provides information regarding the dog's health status and behavior. For example, the generative AI can detect a decrease in the dog's activity level and suggest the possibility of insufficient exercise. Furthermore, the generative AI provides suggestions for improvement based on the analysis results. For example, it can suggest an appropriate amount of exercise for a dog that is not getting enough exercise. It can also suggest improvements to the diet if the food intake is inappropriate. In addition, owners can consult with a veterinarian online through the app. The generating AI provides general advice to owners regarding their questions and their dogs' symptoms, and supports scheduling in-person consultations with veterinarians and handling emergencies when necessary. For example, if an owner asks about their dog's loss of appetite, the generating AI will provide general advice and recommend a consultation with a veterinarian if necessary. This system allows owners to monitor their dog's health in real time and provide appropriate care. Online consultations with veterinarians enable quick responses, making dog health management more efficient. In short, the dog health management system allows owners to monitor their dog's health in real time and provide appropriate care.
[0029] The dog health management system according to this embodiment comprises a data collection unit, an analysis unit, a data provision unit, and a consultation unit. The data collection unit collects dog behavior patterns and health data using devices and apps. For example, the data collection unit can use a sensor attached to the dog's collar to measure its activity level, and an app to record its food intake. The data collection unit can measure the dog's activity level using a sensor attached to the dog's collar. The sensor detects the dog's movement and records steps and exercise time. The data collection unit can also record the dog's food intake using an app. The app records the content and amount of food entered by the owner and stores it in a database. The analysis unit analyzes the data collected by the data collection unit using a generative AI. For example, the analysis unit analyzes the dog's activity level, sleep patterns, food intake, etc., and provides information about the dog's health status and behavior. For example, the analysis unit can use a generative AI to detect a decrease in the dog's activity level and suggest the possibility of insufficient exercise. The analysis unit can also use a generative AI to analyze the dog's sleep patterns and evaluate the quality of sleep. The provision unit provides information and suggestions for improvement based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, the provision unit can suggest an appropriate amount of exercise for a dog that is not getting enough exercise. For example, the provision unit uses generative AI to suggest an appropriate amount of exercise based on the dog's health condition. The provision unit can also suggest improvements to the diet if the amount of food intake is inappropriate. For example, the provision unit uses generative AI to analyze the amount of food intake of a dog and suggests adjusting the nutritional balance or changing the type of food. The consultation unit provides general advice to the owner's questions and the dog's symptoms, and supports scheduling face-to-face consultations with veterinarians and handling emergencies if necessary. For example, the consultation unit uses generative AI to provide general advice to the owner's questions. For example, if the owner asks about the dog's poor appetite, the generative AI will provide general advice and, if necessary, recommend consulting with a veterinarian. As a result, the dog health management system according to this embodiment can grasp the dog's health condition in real time and provide appropriate care. Some or all of the above processing in the consultation unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI.For example, the consultation department can input questions from pet owners into a generating AI, which can then output general advice.
[0030] The data collection unit uses devices and apps to collect dog behavior patterns and health data. Specifically, a sensor attached to the dog's collar measures activity levels, and the app records food intake. The collar sensor has a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope, allowing it to detect the dog's movements in detail. This makes it possible to accurately record steps, exercise time, and even exercise intensity. For example, it can collect data such as how far the dog walked and how fast it ran during a walk. The sensor can also record the dog's rest time and sleep patterns, allowing for an overall understanding of the dog's daily activities. The app records the content and amount of food entered by the owner and stores it in a database. The app has a function to record the type of food (dry food, wet food, homemade food, etc.) and intake in detail, allowing for an accurate understanding of the dog's nutritional intake. Furthermore, the app also records the time and frequency of meals, providing data for analyzing the dog's eating patterns. As a result, the data collection unit can comprehensively collect dog behavior patterns and health data and understand the situation in real time. The collected data is sent to a cloud server, making it accessible to the analysis and provisioning departments. This allows the data collection department to collect data efficiently and effectively, improving the overall system performance.
[0031] The analysis unit uses generative AI to analyze data collected by the collection unit. Specifically, it analyzes the dog's activity level, sleep patterns, and food intake to provide information about the dog's health and behavior. Based on the collected data, the generative AI analyzes the dog's behavior patterns and health in detail. For example, it can detect a decrease in the dog's activity level and suggest the possibility of insufficient exercise. The generative AI can detect abnormal patterns by comparing them with past data, enabling early detection of problems. The generative AI can also analyze the dog's sleep patterns and evaluate the quality of sleep. For example, if a dog wakes up frequently at night, it may suggest stress or a health problem. Furthermore, the generative AI can analyze food intake and suggest adjustments to nutritional balance or changes in the type of food. For example, if a dog is consuming an excessive amount of a particular nutrient, it can suggest reducing that intake. In this way, the analysis unit can quickly and accurately analyze the collected data and provide information about the dog's health and behavior. In addition, the analysis unit can utilize past data and statistical information to perform long-term health management and trend analysis. This allows the analysis unit to not only grasp the situation in real time but also to handle long-term health management, improving the reliability and safety of the entire system.
[0032] The service provider provides information and suggestions for improvement based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. Specifically, it can suggest appropriate exercise levels for dogs that are not getting enough exercise. Using generative AI, it suggests appropriate exercise levels based on the dog's health condition. For example, it can specifically suggest the amount and type of exercise each day, depending on the dog's age, weight, and activity level. The service provider can also suggest improvements to the dog's diet if its food intake is inappropriate. Using generative AI, it analyzes the dog's food intake and suggests adjustments to the nutritional balance or changes to the type of food. For example, if a dog is consuming an excessive amount of a particular nutrient, it can suggest reducing that intake. Also, if a dog is deficient in a particular nutrient, it can suggest a diet to supplement that nutrient. Furthermore, the service provider can also provide care plans tailored to the dog's health condition. For example, if a dog is elderly, it can suggest supplements to maintain joint health and specific exercises. In this way, the service provider can provide specific and practical advice based on the analysis results, supporting the dog's health management. Furthermore, the service provider can also provide specific procedures and schedules to make it easier for owners to implement the suggested advice. This allows the service provider to offer support to pet owners in effectively managing their dogs' health.
[0033] The consultation department provides general advice to pet owners regarding their questions and their dogs' symptoms, and supports them in scheduling in-person consultations with veterinarians and handling emergencies when necessary. Specifically, it uses generative AI to provide general advice to pet owners' questions. For example, if a pet owner asks about their dog's loss of appetite, the generative AI will provide general advice and, if necessary, recommend a consultation with a veterinarian. Based on past data and expertise, the generative AI can generate appropriate answers to pet owners' questions. For example, if a dog's loss of appetite persists, it can suggest dietary changes or ways to reduce stress. The generative AI can also assess the urgency of the dog's symptoms based on the information entered by the pet owner and recommend emergency action if necessary. For example, if a dog suddenly becomes lethargic, it can recommend consulting a veterinarian immediately. Furthermore, the consultation department also provides support for pet owners in scheduling in-person consultations with veterinarians. For example, the generative AI can check the pet owner's schedule and suggest the best appointment time based on the veterinarian's availability. In this way, the consultation department can support pet owners in responding quickly and appropriately to their dog's health problems. Furthermore, the consultation department can collect feedback from pet owners and continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the advice generated by the AI. This allows the consultation department to provide reliable advice to pet owners and support the health management of their dogs.
[0034] The data collection unit measures the dog's activity level using a sensor attached to the dog's collar, and the app can record the dog's food intake. For example, the data collection unit measures the dog's activity level using a sensor attached to the dog's collar. The sensor detects the dog's movement and records the number of steps and exercise time. The data collection unit can also record the dog's food intake using the app. The app records the content and amount of food entered by the owner and stores it in a database. This allows for accurate recording of the dog's activity level and food intake. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input data acquired from the sensor attached to the dog's collar into a generating AI, which can then analyze the data.
[0035] The analysis unit can analyze a dog's activity level, sleep patterns, and food intake, and provide information about the dog's health and behavior. For example, the analysis unit uses a generative AI to analyze a dog's activity level, sleep patterns, and food intake. The generative AI can detect a decrease in a dog's activity level and suggest the possibility of insufficient exercise. The generative AI can also analyze a dog's sleep patterns and evaluate the quality of sleep. Furthermore, the generative AI can analyze a dog's food intake and suggest adjustments to nutritional balance or changes in the type of food. This allows owners to provide appropriate care by providing information about the dog's health and behavior. Some or all of the above processing in the analysis unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the analysis unit can input data acquired from the collection unit into the generative AI, which can then analyze the data.
[0036] The service provider can suggest an appropriate amount of exercise for dogs that are not getting enough exercise, based on the analysis results. The service provider can suggest an appropriate amount of exercise for dogs that are not getting enough exercise, for example, by using a generative AI. The generative AI can analyze the dog's activity level data and suggest an appropriate amount of exercise for dogs that are not getting enough exercise. For example, the generative AI can suggest an appropriate amount of exercise based on the dog's age and breed. The generative AI can also adjust the amount of exercise based on the dog's health condition. In this way, by suggesting an appropriate amount of exercise for dogs that are not getting enough exercise, the health of the dogs can be maintained. Some or all of the above processing in the service provider may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, the service provider can input data obtained from the analysis unit into the generative AI, and the generative AI can suggest an appropriate amount of exercise.
[0037] The supply unit can suggest improvements to the diet if the amount of food intake is inappropriate. For example, the supply unit can use a generating AI to suggest improvements to the diet if the amount of food intake is inappropriate. The generating AI can analyze the dog's diet data and suggest adjustments to the nutritional balance or changes in the type of food. For example, the generating AI can suggest appropriate improvements to the diet based on the dog's age and health condition. The generating AI can also analyze the amount of food intake the dog has and make suggestions to prevent overeating or undereating. In this way, the dog's health can be maintained by suggesting improvements to the diet when the amount of food intake is inappropriate. Some or all of the above processing in the supply unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the supply unit can input data obtained from the analysis unit into the generating AI, and the generating AI can suggest improvements to the diet.
[0038] The consultation department can provide general advice to pet owners regarding their questions and their dogs' symptoms, and can also support scheduling in-person consultations with veterinarians and handling emergencies if necessary. For example, the consultation department can use a generative AI to provide general advice to pet owners' questions. The generative AI can analyze the pet owner's questions and provide general advice. For example, if a pet owner asks about their dog's loss of appetite, the generative AI will provide general advice and, if necessary, recommend a consultation with a veterinarian. The consultation department can also support scheduling in-person consultations with veterinarians and handling emergencies if necessary. For example, the generative AI can schedule an in-person consultation with a veterinarian based on the pet owner's questions and the dog's symptoms. This allows pet owners to quickly consult about their dog's health and, if necessary, arrange in-person consultations with a veterinarian or handle emergencies. Some or all of the above-described processes in the consultation department may be performed using AI, or not. For example, the consultation department can input the pet owner's questions into a generative AI, which can then output general advice.
[0039] The data collection unit can estimate the dog's emotions and adjust the frequency of data collection based on the estimated emotions. The data collection unit estimates the dog's emotions, for example, using generative AI. Generative AI can estimate the dog's emotions by analyzing the dog's behavioral and physiological data. For example, generative AI can analyze changes in the dog's heart rate and activity level to estimate its stress and relaxation state. Generative AI can also analyze the dog's facial expressions and tone of voice to estimate its emotions. The data collection unit adjusts the frequency of data collection based on the estimated emotions of the dog. For example, if the dog is stressed, the frequency of data collection is reduced to lessen the dog's burden. If the dog is relaxed, the frequency of data collection is increased to collect more detailed data. Furthermore, if the dog is excited, the frequency of data collection is temporarily increased to record changes in behavioral patterns in detail. This allows for the reduction of the dog's burden and the collection of detailed data by adjusting the frequency of data collection according to the dog's emotions. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without using AI. For example, the data collection unit inputs dog emotional data into a generating AI, which can then adjust the frequency of data collection.
[0040] The data collection unit can analyze a dog's past behavioral patterns and select the optimal timing for data collection. For example, the data collection unit uses a generative AI to analyze the dog's past behavioral patterns. The generative AI analyzes past data and understands the dog's behavioral patterns. For example, if the generative AI has observed that a dog was active during a specific time period in the past, it will concentrate data collection during that time. Similarly, if the generative AI has observed that a dog was resting during a specific time period in the past, it can refrain from collecting data during that time. Furthermore, the generative AI can analyze the dog's past behavioral patterns and intensify data collection on weekends or during specific events. This allows for data collection at the optimal time by analyzing the dog's past behavioral patterns. Some or all of the above-described processes in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input past behavioral data into the generative AI, which can then select the optimal timing for data collection.
[0041] The data collection unit can filter data based on the dog's current health status and activity level during data collection. For example, the data collection unit can use a generative AI to filter data based on the dog's current health status and activity level. The generative AI can analyze the dog's health and activity data and collect only the necessary data. For example, if the dog is in good health, the generative AI will perform normal data collection. If the dog is in poor health, the generative AI can refrain from collecting data and collect only the necessary data. Furthermore, if the dog's activity level is high, the generative AI can collect detailed data, and if the activity level is low, it can collect only basic data. This allows for the collection of only the necessary data by filtering it according to the dog's health status and activity level. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the dog's health data into the generative AI, which can then filter the data.
[0042] The data collection unit can estimate the dog's emotions and determine the priority of data to collect based on the estimated emotions. The data collection unit estimates the dog's emotions, for example, using a generative AI. The generative AI can estimate the dog's emotions by analyzing the dog's behavioral and physiological data. For example, the generative AI can analyze changes in the dog's heart rate and activity level to estimate its stress and relaxation state. The generative AI can also analyze the dog's facial expressions and tone of voice to estimate its emotions. The data collection unit determines the priority of data to collect based on the estimated emotions of the dog. For example, if the dog is stressed, stress-related data will be collected preferentially. If the dog is relaxed, data on activity level and sleep patterns will be collected preferentially. Furthermore, if the dog is excited, data on changes in behavioral patterns will be collected preferentially. In this way, important data can be collected preferentially by determining the priority of data to collect according to the dog's emotions. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input dog emotion data into a generative AI, which can then determine the priority of the data.
[0043] The data collection unit can prioritize the collection of highly relevant data by considering the dog's geographical location during data collection. For example, the data collection unit uses a generative AI to prioritize the collection of highly relevant data by considering the dog's geographical location during data collection. The generative AI can analyze the dog's location information and select highly relevant data. For example, if the dog is in a park, the generative AI will prioritize the collection of data on activity level and exercise patterns. If the dog is at home, the generative AI will prioritize the collection of data on sleep patterns and food intake. Furthermore, if the dog is at a veterinary hospital, the generative AI will prioritize the collection of data on its health status. In this way, highly relevant data can be prioritized by considering the dog's geographical location information. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, for example, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the dog's location information into the generative AI, which can then select highly relevant data.
[0044] The data collection unit can analyze the social media activity of dog owners and collect relevant data during data collection. For example, the data collection unit can use a generative AI to analyze the social media activity of dog owners and collect relevant data during data collection. The generative AI can analyze the owner's social media posts and select relevant data. For example, if an owner posts about their dog's health on social media, the generative AI can collect data based on that post. Furthermore, if an owner posts about their dog's activities on social media, the generative AI can collect data based on that post. In addition, if an owner posts about their dog's diet on social media, the generative AI can collect data based on that post. This allows for the efficient collection of relevant data by analyzing the owner's social media activity. Some or all of the above processing in the data collection unit may be performed using AI, or without AI. For example, the data collection unit can input the owner's social media posts into the generative AI, which can then select relevant data.
[0045] The analysis unit can estimate the dog's emotions and adjust the analysis algorithm based on the estimated emotions. The analysis unit estimates the dog's emotions using, for example, a generative AI. The generative AI can estimate the dog's emotions by analyzing the dog's behavioral and physiological data. For example, the generative AI can estimate the dog's stress and relaxation states by analyzing changes in the dog's heart rate and activity level. The generative AI can also estimate emotions by analyzing the dog's facial expressions and tone of voice. The analysis unit adjusts the analysis algorithm based on the estimated emotions of the dog. For example, if the dog is stressed, the analysis will focus on stress-related data. If the dog is relaxed, the analysis will focus on activity level and sleep pattern data. Furthermore, if the dog is excited, the analysis will focus on data related to changes in behavioral patterns. By adjusting the analysis algorithm according to the dog's emotions, more accurate analysis results can be obtained.

The sensor detects the dog's movements and records steps and exercise time, while the app records the type and amount of food entered by the owner and stores it in a database. Step 2: The analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the data collected by the collection unit. For example, it analyzes the dog's activity level, sleep patterns, and food intake to provide information about the dog's health and behavior. The analysis unit can detect a decrease in the dog's activity level and suggest the possibility of insufficient exercise, or it can analyze the dog's sleep patterns and evaluate the quality of sleep. Step 3: The provision unit provides information and suggestions for improvement based on the analysis results obtained by the analysis unit. For example, it may suggest an appropriate amount of exercise for a dog that is not getting enough exercise, or suggest improvements to the diet if the amount of food intake is inappropriate. Using the generation AI, it is possible to suggest appropriate exercise levels, adjustments to nutritional balance, and changes in the type of food based on the dog's health condition. Step 4: The consultation department provides general advice to owners regarding their questions and their dogs' symptoms, and supports scheduling in-person consultations with veterinarians and handling emergencies when necessary. For example, it uses generated AI to provide general advice to owners' questions and recommends consultations with veterinarians as needed. This allows owners to monitor their dogs' health in real time and provide appropriate care.

[0171] Each of the multiple elements described above, including the collection unit, analysis unit, provision unit, and consultation unit, is implemented in, for example, at least one of the robot 414 and the data processing unit 12. For example, the collection unit collects dog behavior patterns and health data using the robot 414's sensors and applications. The analysis unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and analyzes the collected data using generated AI. The provision unit is implemented, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing unit 12, and provides information and suggestions for improvement based on the analysis results. The consultation unit supports online consultations with veterinarians through the robot 414's application. The correspondence between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the example described above, and various changes are possible.
[0172] 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.
[0173] 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.
[0174] 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.
[0175] 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.
[0176] 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.
[0177] 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."
[0178] 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.
[0179] 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.
[0180] 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.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] 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.
[0184] 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.
[0185] 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.
[0186] 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.
[0187] 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.
