1. A development assistance device comprising:
a processor and a memory storing a program that causes the processor to function as,
multiple pieces of conversion processing circuitry each to convert an inputted signal value of an electric signal, acquired from one of a sensor and an antenna, into either a different signal value or meta information or convert inputted meta information, including a summary statistics in the signal value, into either a signal value or different meta information, and to output either the signal value after conversion or the meta information after conversion as output information;
pipeline processing circuitry to cause, on a basis of pipeline information showing a relationship of mutual connections between the multiple pieces of conversion processing circuitry, the multiple pieces of conversion processing circuitry to sequentially perform corresponding converting processes;
inference processing circuitry to make an inference by using the output information outputted by one or more pieces of final conversion processing circuitry which the pipeline processing circuitry causes, on a basis of the pipeline information, to finally perform corresponding converting processes, out of the multiple pieces of conversion processing circuitry that performed initial conversion processes, and to output inference information showing a result of the inference by performing inference processing including at least one of machine learning and data mining;
image generation processing circuitry to generate image information for visualizing the relationship of the mutual connections between the multiple pieces of conversion processing circuitry, the relationship being shown by the pipeline information, and a relationship of a connection between the one or more pieces of final conversion processing circuitry and the inference processing circuitry; and
output control processing circuitry to output the image information generated by the image generation processing circuitry.
