[0014] In the case of Patent Document 1, since the given position of the face image is automatically determined, for example, the subject cannot use the display device to specify the position where the color is desired to be determined. In addition, since the information (recommended cosmetics) prompted based on the determination result is only one type, the information required by the subject cannot be prompted.

[0015] The present invention is proposed in view of the above-mentioned problems and relates to an information prompt technology, in which an operator specifies a coordinate point on a two-dimensional area composed of a first axis representing a first variable and a second axis representing a second variable and displayed, obtains a coordinate value corresponding to the specified coordinate point, calculates an evaluation value of an evaluation item obtained based on the obtained coordinates, and displays it in a display area different from the two-dimensional area.

[0016] According to the method provided by the present invention, the operator can specify a coordinate point on a two-dimensional area formed by a first axis representing a first variable and a second axis representing a second variable, apply the first variable and the second variable obtained according to the coordinate values ​​corresponding to the specified coordinate point to the evaluation data, and can display the evaluation values ​​of one or more evaluation items in a display area different from the two-dimensional area, thereby obtaining the evaluation value of the position (coordinates) required by the operator (user).

[0017] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described using the drawings.

[0018] First, use Figure 1 An image when information is presented using the information presenting method of the present embodiment (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the present method) will be described.

[0019] Figure 1 (1) is a screen image as follows: a two-dimensional area 30 is displayed on a display screen (display unit 110) of an information display device (e.g., a smartphone) 100, in which a first axis is composed of age and a second axis is composed of skin metabolism indicators, and a display output (chart display 40) is performed to show evaluation values ​​of wrinkles, texture, spots, metabolism, and scales as evaluation items. Figure 1 (2) is a screen image after the operator designates a coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30 .

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown in (1) and (2) of the present invention, the information display device 100 displays a two-dimensional area 30 consisting of a first axis and a second axis. When the operator specifies a coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30, the coordinate value corresponding to the specified coordinate point is obtained, and the evaluation value of the evaluation item obtained based on the obtained coordinate is displayed and output in a display area different from the two-dimensional area 30, such as a graph display 40. The evaluation value of the evaluation item is, for example, Figure 1 As shown in (1) and (2) of FIG. 1 , the display is set to be one-dimensional (for example, a bar graph).

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, the present method can grasp the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items corresponding to the coordinate points on the two-dimensional area 30 by displaying and outputting the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items that cannot be grasped only by the two-dimensional area 30 in an area different from the two-dimensional area 30, that is, a display area, such as a graph display 40. In particular, when there are many evaluation items for the coordinate points on the two-dimensional area 30, it may be difficult to grasp the evaluation values ​​if the evaluation values ​​are displayed in the two-dimensional area 30. In addition, since the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items of the coordinate points on the two-dimensional area 30 that the operator wants to grasp can be displayed and output as the graph display 40, the convenience of the operator can be improved. Furthermore, since the display output content of the graph display 40 changes with the change (movement) of the coordinate point designated by the operator on the two-dimensional area 30, it is easy to simulate various situations.

[0022] use Figure 2 The information presenting method (this method) of this embodiment is described with reference to the flowchart (outline) shown.

[0023] In this embodiment, the first variable is composed of multiple first variables, and the second variable is composed of multiple second variables. The operator can select any one of the multiple first variables, any one of the multiple second variables, and any one of the evaluation values ​​of one or more evaluation items.

[0024] The process (step S100) is a process in which the operator selects any one of the first variables, any one of the second variables, and which evaluation item based on the first variable and the second variable is to be displayed. The operator may select all of the first variable, the second variable, and the evaluation item, or may select only a part (for example, only the second variable), or may use a predetermined item (the operator does not select). In the case of using a predetermined item, this process may not be provided.

[0025] The so-called "first variable" is one of the items (values) associated with the information to be evaluated or presented, and when evaluating / presenting an item related to skin, it is an item directly or indirectly related to the skin condition; when evaluating / presenting an item related to hair, it is an item directly or indirectly related to the hair condition; when evaluating / presenting an item related to beauty, it is an item directly or indirectly related to the beauty condition; when evaluating / presenting an item related to health, it is an item directly or indirectly related to the health condition. Examples of items directly or indirectly related to the skin condition include items related to skin components, items related to skin physical properties, items related to the surface shape (concavities and convexities) of the skin, and items related to the color of the skin. Items related to skin composition include the amount of moisture in the stratum corneum and the amount of sebum, items related to skin properties include skin elasticity, firmness, hardness, transepidermal water evaporation (TEWL), items related to skin surface shape (concavity and convexity) include skin texture, wrinkles, pores, sagging, scaling, etc., items related to skin color include skin spots, freckles, pigmentation spots, L * 、a * , b * ,wait.

[0026] The “second variable” is one of the items (values) associated with the information to be evaluated or presented that is different from the first variable, and includes the same items as those listed in the first variable.

[0027] The “evaluation value of the evaluation item” is one or more items (values) calculated based on the first variable and the second variable, and includes the same items as those listed in the first variable.

[0028] "Time-related items (values)" are items (values) that change with time, specifically, age, estimated age, season, month, time of day (morning, daytime, night), etc. "Questionnaire items (values)" are items related to the skin such as age, skin condition, skin quality, etc. answered by the subject. "Measurement items (values)" are various measurement values ​​related to the skin of the subject. "Items (values) related to the estimated skin of the subject" are items (values) of the skin condition of the subject estimated based on the questionnaire, skin measurement results, and skin image acquisition, specifically, skin metabolism index, pore score, dullness, spots, wrinkles, etc. Here, the so-called "skin metabolism index" is a quantitative index related to the metabolic state of the skin, such as whether the cell regeneration that occurs in the display of the skin tissue is normal, the cell regeneration rate (replacement rate), the cell area of ​​stratum corneum cells, the degree of stratification, the distribution of ceramides, protein αβ, the recovery rate of skin temperature, the reaction of capillaries, etc., and is an index based on the questionnaire and skin measurement results conducted on the subject. Sometimes both the related index and the quantitative index value are referred to as skin metabolism index. "The item (value) calculated based on the first variable and the second variable" is a value obtained by averaging the values ​​of the skin-related items collected by interviewing multiple subjects, measuring the skin, and obtaining skin images, and the recommended cosmetics, skin care products and other drugs, recommended skin care methods and other skin-related items (values), information calculated based on the first variable and the second variable. The so-called "averaged value", which will be described in detail later, is the distribution of the values ​​of the skin-related items collected by interviewing multiple subjects and measuring the skin based on the first variable and the second variable. In this way, the evaluation value of the evaluation item includes an item that represents the state of human skin.

[0029] The so-called "selectable" can be any selection method as long as the operator can select the first variable, the second variable and the evaluation value of the evaluation item, such as setting a drop-down menu or a check box for selecting the first variable, the second variable and the evaluation value respectively.

[0030] In this embodiment, the operator selects "age" as the first variable, selects "skin metabolism index" as the second variable, and selects "wrinkles", "texture", "scars", "metabolism", and "scaly" as the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items.

[0031] In addition, the step (step S100 ) corresponds to a “selection step”.

[0032] Here, preferred aspects of the first variable, the second variable, and the evaluation value of the evaluation item will be described.

[0033] The first variable is an item (value) related to time, a medical consultation item (value), a measurement item (value), an item (value) related to the skin of the estimated subject, etc. In particular, it is preferably an item (value) related to time, for example, an item (value) that changes with time, such as age, seasonal changes, estimated age, etc. In this embodiment, the first variable is set to "age". For the user (operator), an item such as age that changes with time is an item that is highly concerned as an item related to the state of the skin. In particular, since there are many items that improve (or deteriorate) the state of the skin over a certain period of time, the first variable is set to "age" to prompt information of high concern to the user (operator).

[0034] The second variable is an item (value) that is different from the first variable and is related to time, a medical consultation item (value), a measurement item (value), an item (value) related to the skin of the estimated subject, etc., and is calculated or measured in detail based on the operator information described later. In particular, it is preferred that the value is more affected by the user's living habits such as diet, lifestyle (ultraviolet rays, dryness), sleep time, stress, and hobbies (cigarettes, alcohol) than by age. Specifically, it is preferred to set "skin metabolism index" or "vascular age" as the second variable. In the present embodiment, the second variable is set to "skin metabolism index".

[0035] The evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items are time-related items (values), consultation items (values), measurement items (values), skin-related items (values) of the estimated subjects, etc. In particular, the values ​​of items of high concern to the user (operator) may be prompted. In the present embodiment, they are set to wrinkles, texture, scars, metabolism, and scales.

[0036] Here, the reason why it is preferable to set the second variable to an item such as "skin metabolism index" or "vascular age" whose value is more affected by the user's lifestyle than by age when the first variable is set to "age" is explained. An item whose value is more affected by the user's lifestyle than by age is an item that can be improved (made better) by improving the user's lifestyle, and can also be said to be an item that is not dependent on age, and is an item whose value can be improved by lifestyle even if the age increases. Among such items that are not dependent on age, the following items are particularly preferable: although they are not items of the skin itself, they are related to items of the skin itself, and if these items are improved (or deteriorated), the items of the skin itself are also improved (or deteriorated). This is because, if an item that is not an item of the skin itself (for example, the composition of the skin, the physical properties of the skin, the shape of the skin, the color of the skin, etc.) is set as the second variable, when the user simulates the future, when the value of the second variable (for example, the skin metabolism index) is improved, it is possible to understand how the value of the evaluation item (wrinkles, texture, scars, metabolism, and scales in the case of this embodiment) changes, and this method can be used as an opportunity to improve lifestyles, etc.

[0037] The process (step S110) is a process of displaying a two-dimensional area 30 composed of a first axis representing a first variable and a second axis representing a second variable on a screen. When the operator selects the first variable and / or the second variable in the process (step S100), the two-dimensional area 30 is displayed on the screen based on the selected first variable and / or the second variable.

[0038] The so-called "first axis" is an axis representing the first variable. In this embodiment, Figure 1 The horizontal axis (age) of the two-dimensional region 30 of (1) and (2) corresponds to the first axis.

[0039] The so-called "second axis" is an axis representing the second variable. In this embodiment, Figure 1 The vertical axis (skin metabolism index) of the two-dimensional region 30 of (1) and (2) corresponds to the second axis.

[0040] The so-called “two-dimensional region” is a region having two coordinates, specifically, a region consisting of two directions, namely, the first axis direction and the second axis direction. In this embodiment, Figure 1 (1) and (2) 30 correspond to this two-dimensional area.

[0041] The so-called "on the screen" refers to the display area of ​​a display device provided in a personal computer, a mobile computer, a PDA, a tablet terminal, a mobile phone, or the like.

[0042] In addition, the step (step S110 ) corresponds to the “two-dimensional area display step”.

[0043] The process (step S120) is a process of inputting operator (sometimes referred to as "user") information (operator information) (equivalent to the "input process") and a coordinate calculation process of calculating coordinate values ​​based on the input information (equivalent to the "first coordinate value calculation process"). The operator information is information related to the biological body of the operator, and is the results of answers to questions (questionnaire items), and / or the results of skin composition measurement (including measurement results based on images obtained by photographing the skin), etc., and predetermined items among these items are output, wherein the questions (questionnaire items) are questions (questionnaire items) related to the biological body and / or that have an impact on the biological body, such as the operator's age, gender, physical condition, lifestyle, occupation, sleep time, hobbies, and interests, and in particular, in the present embodiment, the questions (questionnaire items) that have an impact on the skin condition. In Figure 1 In the embodiment, the screen image of the situation where the question (question item) is displayed on the display device is not shown, but the stage before step S120 is displayed in the same manner as described later. Figure 5 (1) The same screen as in step S120. The stage before step S120 may be any one of the stage before step S100, the stage before step S110, and the stage before step S120.

[0044] Then, the first variable and the second variable are calculated based on the input information, and the coordinate value (first coordinate value) based on the operator information is calculated.

[0045] Here, the so-called "coordinate value" is the value of the coordinate on the two-dimensional area 30 composed of the first axis and the second axis, and is composed of the first variable and the second variable. In this embodiment, regarding the coordinate value (first coordinate value) calculated based on the input operator information, the first variable is the age of the operator, and the second variable is the skin metabolism index calculated based on the interview result.

[0046] The process (step S130) is to display the coordinate point (the first coordinate point (equivalent to Figure 1The process of displaying the coordinate point (second coordinate point) corresponding to the coordinate value (second coordinate value) obtained in the two-dimensional area 30 of (1) or in step S170 described later. As described later, in this method, since the operator can specify the coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30 and can slide the specified position, the position of the coordinate point displayed in the two-dimensional area 30 is changed in accordance with the sliding movement. In this embodiment, the coordinate point is displayed as a zero mark, but any display method can be used as long as the coordinate point can be recognized. In addition, the coordinate point (second coordinate point) corresponding to the coordinate of the coordinate value obtained in step S170 may not be displayed when the operator is moving the coordinate point (sliding to specify the position). Alternatively, the coordinate point corresponding to the coordinate of the coordinate value may be displayed when the operator finishes moving the coordinate point (when the finger is removed from the display device).

[0047] The process (step S130 ) includes a “first coordinate point display process”.

[0048] The process (step S140) is a process of applying the first variable and the second variable obtained based on the coordinate value (first coordinate value) calculated in step S120 or the coordinate value (second coordinate value) obtained in step S170 described later to the evaluation data described later to calculate the evaluation value of one or more evaluation items. The details of the calculation method of the evaluation value of one or more evaluation items will be described later. In this embodiment, the value of the average of the values ​​of the skin-related items collected by interviewing a plurality of test subjects and measuring their skin is calculated as the evaluation value of one or more evaluation items.

[0049] The step (step S140 ) corresponds to the “first evaluation value calculation step” and the “second coordinate value acquisition step”.

[0050] The step (step S150) is a step of displaying the display output corresponding to the evaluation value of one or more evaluation items calculated in step S140 in a display area different from the two-dimensional area. When the operator specifies any one of the first variable and / or the second variable and the evaluation value of one or more evaluation items in the step (step S100), the display output corresponding to the evaluation value of the specified one or more evaluation items is displayed in an area different from the two-dimensional area 30.

[0051] The so-called "display output corresponding to the evaluation value of one or more evaluation items" means that the evaluation value of each evaluation item is displayed and outputted in a display mode that can grasp the evaluation value of each evaluation item. Specifically, the evaluation value may be displayed in a numerical value, a bar chart, a pie chart or other graphic display for the evaluation item, a display based on color differences (for example, a grayscale display corresponding to the size of the evaluation value), a display based on an illustration (for example, the skin condition of the illustration is different corresponding to the evaluation value), a display based on the operator's avatar (for example, the skin condition of the avatar is different corresponding to the evaluation value), and any display output is preferably set to take into account the ease of grasping the evaluation value, the fun of the appearance, etc. In addition, for example, both the bar chart and the display based on the operator's avatar can be displayed and outputted, and the display output can be displayed and outputted in multiple display modes.

[0052] The so-called "display area different from the two-dimensional area" only needs to be different from the two-dimensional area 30. For example, it is preferable to display Figure 1 Like the display area of ​​the graph display 40 shown in (1), it is provided at a position close to the two-dimensional area 30.

[0053] The step (step S150 ) corresponds to the “evaluation value display step”.

[0054] The process (step S160 ) is a process in which the operator designates a coordinate point on the displayed two-dimensional area 30 and determines whether there is a designated point.

[0055] The so-called "designation" is that the operator designates a coordinate point on the displayed two-dimensional area 30. When the display device is a touch screen, the operator presses the display surface of the display device with a finger or a touch pen. In addition, when the display device is not a touch screen, the operator designates by overlapping the input position with the desired designated coordinate point of the display area of ​​the two-dimensional area 30 using an input device such as a mouse (not shown), or by inputting the first variable and the second variable using a keyboard. In this embodiment, it is determined whether the operator designates a coordinate point. If so, the process proceeds to step S170. If not, the process ends.

[0056] The process (step S160 ) includes a “designated process”.

[0057] The process (step S170) is a process for obtaining the coordinate values ​​(second coordinate values) of the first axis and the second axis corresponding to the coordinate point specified by the operator in step S160. The position of the coordinate point specified by the operator on the two-dimensional area 30 in step S160 is detected, and the first variable and the second variable corresponding to the detected coordinate point are obtained as coordinate values.

[0058] The step (step S170 ) corresponds to the “second coordinate value obtaining step”.

[0059] <Calculation method of evaluation value of evaluation item>

[0060] Next, use Figure 3 A method of calculating the evaluation value of the evaluation item performed in the process (step S140 ) will be described.

[0061] For 110 female subjects aged between 20 and 60, each subject was interviewed about skin including age, and skin-related items were measured using a measuring device. The content of the interview may be the same as or different from the content of the interview performed when inputting the operator information in step S120. The measurement contents based on the measuring device include: measurement of transepidermal water evaporation using a water evaporation meter; measurement of the amount of water contained in the stratum corneum using a stratum corneum water meter; measurement of the amount of sebum secreted using an oil meter and a sebum secretion measuring device; measurement of the elasticity, firmness, and hardness of the skin using a skin viscoelasticity measuring device; measurement of melanin pigment and hemoglobin using a melanin / erythrohemoglobin measuring device; measurement of texture, wrinkles, pores, etc. using a microscope; measurement of wrinkles, texture, and other unevenness of the skin surface based on skin image analysis, etc. In addition, the measurement contents recorded are examples, and the values ​​required for the evaluation items can be measured. The skin metabolism index of each subject was calculated as a quantitative value by integrating the interview contents and the measured values.

[0062] Created based on the subject's age and skin metabolism indicators Figure 3 A database of two-dimensional data as shown in (1) to (4). Figure 3 (1) is based on the corner of the mouth * The value is two-dimensional data of the evaluation value, and the a of the corner of the mouth of the subjects (one or more persons) with similar age and skin metabolism index is obtained. * The average of the values. Figure 3 In the two-dimensional data shown, the horizontal axis represents age and the vertical axis represents skin metabolism index. The two-dimensional data is data in which the region is divided into multiple parts by dividing the horizontal axis and the vertical axis at given intervals, the measured values ​​are classified into divided regions based on the age and skin metabolism index of each subject, and the average value of the measured values ​​of the classified subjects is assigned to each divided region. In this embodiment, the closer the skin metabolism index value is to 1, the more normal the skin metabolism is. Figure 3 (1) is based on the corner of the mouth * The skin metabolism index is calculated using the value. * Value in L * a * b * One of the complementary color dimensions of the color space, is one of the values ​​representing the color of the skin surface, a * The higher the value, the more red it is. In addition, the skin that causes inflammation has a* The value is high (on the positive side). Figure 3 (2) is the result of calculating the skin metabolism index based on the scales on the cheeks. Scaling is the state of the stratum corneum located on the outermost layer of the skin peeling off. According to the state of the scales, for example, a score of 0 is given when there is no scale, a score of 1 is given when there is moderate scale, and a score of 2 is given when there is severe scale. The result of calculating the skin metabolism index is based on the result. Figure 3 (3) is the result of calculating the skin metabolism index based on the sagging score of the entire face. Sagging is a state caused by the reduction of elasticity and firmness of the skin, and is the result of calculating the skin metabolism index based on the sagging score of the entire face obtained from the value measured by the measuring device. Figure 3 (4) is the result of calculating the skin metabolism index based on the wrinkle score of the forehead. (4) is the result of calculating the skin metabolism index based on the wrinkle score obtained from the measured wrinkle value. Figure 3 In the figure, based on a * There are four data points, namely, value (corner of mouth), scale (cheek), sagging score (whole face), and wrinkle score (forehead). However, if many other data points are set, such as data based on scale (corner of mouth), scale (forehead), scale score (corner of mouth), scale score (average), texture (forehead), texture (corner of mouth), etc., the types of evaluation items displayed and output can be increased, and the accuracy of the evaluation values ​​can be improved. Consider the types, accuracy, and processing power of the evaluation items to be displayed and output, and decide what kind of database to prepare appropriately. In addition, Figure 3 The database of two-dimensional data shown is equivalent to "evaluation data". Figure 3 In the examples (1) to (4) of FIG. 1 , quantitative values ​​such as measurement values ​​and scores are used as evaluation values. However, when the evaluation value is not a quantitative value (for example, a binary choice of either yes or no), the number of people who answered yes may be used as the evaluation value, and a two-dimensional histogram may be used as the evaluation data.

[0063] In this way, the first variable (e.g., equivalent to age) and the evaluation values ​​of one or more evaluation items (e.g., equivalent to evaluation values ​​of wrinkles, texture, etc.) are obtained from a population of multiple subjects, and the second variable (e.g., skin metabolism index) is calculated based on the first variable and the measured values ​​of multiple subjects.

[0064] Then, use Figure 3 The database of two-dimensional data shown in the figure calculates the evaluation value of the evaluation item of the acquired coordinate value by applying the coordinate value acquired by the acquisition process to a given operation formula of a two-variable function or a multiple regression model. The evaluation value is calculated using data predetermined from the stored database corresponding to the evaluation item to be displayed and output.

[0065] <About the consultation items>

[0066] Next, the pre-set medical questionnaire items used when inputting the operator information in the process (step S120) are described. Regarding the medical questionnaire items input by the operator, an estimation model for estimating the measurement values ​​of skin-related items is created using the results of the skin-related medical questionnaires including the age of each subject conducted on the above-mentioned plurality of subjects (110 female subjects in the age group of 20 to 60 years old) and the measurement results of the skin-related items based on the measuring device, and the medical questionnaire items for estimating the skin metabolism index using the created estimation model are set. By inputting the operator information for the medical questionnaire items set in this way (answering the medical questionnaire items), the coordinate values ​​(first variable and second variable) calculated based on the input operator information are applied to the evaluation data, thereby calculating the evaluation values ​​of one or more evaluation items.

[0067] Next, the information presenting device 100 including the above-mentioned information presenting method will be described.

[0068] exist Figure 4 A conceptual diagram of the information presenting device 100 is shown in FIG.

[0069] The information presentation device 100 includes an input unit 105, a display unit 110, a designation unit 120, a two-dimensional area display control unit 130, a first coordinate calculation unit 135, a first coordinate point display control unit 140, a first evaluation value calculation unit 145, a second coordinate value acquisition unit 150, a second evaluation value calculation unit 155, an evaluation value display control unit 160, a storage unit 170, and a central processing unit (not shown). In the present embodiment, the information presentation device 100 is a device in which a central processing unit and a display unit such as a smart phone, a tablet terminal, or a personal computer are integrated, but the central processing unit and the display unit may also be separate.

[0070] The input unit 105 is a unit for inputting operator information related to the operator's biological body. It is a unit for inputting data from input devices such as a keyboard and a touch pen, data from a microphone for inputting sound, data from a camera included in the information prompting device 100 (data captured by the camera), and data obtained by the information prompting device 100 via the Internet by acquiring data captured by other devices. It is equivalent to a central processing unit.

[0071] The display unit 110 is a unit that displays the two-dimensional area 30 and the display output corresponding to the evaluation value of the evaluation item. It corresponds to a display device provided in a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, etc. Considering the operability and the effect of the present method, the display device is preferably a touch screen.

[0072] The designation unit 120 is a unit that allows the operator to designate a coordinate point on the displayed two-dimensional area 30. When the display device is a touch screen, the designation unit 120 corresponds to a sensor that senses the operator's finger and the input (the operator's finger) provided on the touch screen.

[0073] The two-dimensional region display control unit 130 is a unit that causes the display unit 110 to display a two-dimensional region 30 composed of a first axis representing a first variable and a second axis representing a second variable, and corresponds to a central processing unit.

[0074] The first coordinate calculation unit 135 is a unit that calculates the first coordinate value based on the input operator information, and corresponds to a central processing unit.

[0075] The first coordinate point display control unit 140 is a unit that displays a first coordinate point corresponding to a first coordinate value on the two-dimensional area 30 , and corresponds to a central processing unit.

[0076] The first evaluation value calculation unit 145 is a unit that calculates evaluation values ​​of one or more evaluation items associated with the first variable and the second variable based on the calculated first coordinate value, and corresponds to a central processing unit.

[0077] The second coordinate value acquisition unit 150 is a unit that acquires second coordinate values ​​of the first axis and the second axis corresponding to the designated second coordinate point, and corresponds to a central processing unit.

[0078] The second evaluation value calculation unit 155 is a unit that calculates the evaluation value of the evaluation item based on the acquired second coordinate value, and corresponds to a central processing unit.

[0079] The evaluation value display control unit 160 is a unit that displays a display output (eg, a graph display 40 ) corresponding to the calculated evaluation value of one or more evaluation items in a display area of ​​the display unit different from the two-dimensional area 30 , and corresponds to a central processing unit.

[0080] The storage unit 170 stores a computer program for executing the information presentation method. Figure 3 In addition, the computer program for executing the information presentation method further includes a calculation formula of a two-variable function or a multiple regression model used when the calculated coordinate value or the acquired coordinate value is applied to the evaluation data to evaluate the evaluation value of the evaluation item.

[0081] use Figure 5 A method of displaying the evaluation values ​​of the skin evaluation items by the information presenting device 100 will be described.

[0082] exist Figure 5 In the embodiment, a smart phone is used as the information prompting device 100.

[0083] Figure 5(1) of FIG. 1 represents a screen image for inputting operator information. Figure 5 As shown in (1) of FIG. 1 , the medical questionnaire 20 including the operator's age is displayed. The operator inputs an answer corresponding to the displayed medical questionnaire 20. Figure 5 In (1), the answer is input by selecting from the drop-down menu, but the input method is not limited to this. For example, multiple answer check boxes may be displayed for each question, and the answer may be input by entering a check mark. In addition, the answer may be selected from a given stage (for example, there are 5 stages for "What is the condition of your skin?": good, slightly good, normal, slightly poor, and poor), or the answer may be input without stages using a slider.

[0084] Figure 5 (2) shows the following state: coordinate values ​​(equivalent to "first coordinate values") are calculated based on the input operator information, a zero mark is displayed at the corresponding coordinates in the two-dimensional area 30 (displaying "first coordinate point"), and evaluation values ​​of one or more evaluation items obtained based on the calculated coordinate values ​​are calculated and displayed in a display area different from the two-dimensional area 30 (e.g., equivalent to Figure 5 The display graph display area 40 of (2) performs display output corresponding to the evaluation value of one or more evaluation items.

[0085] Here, in Figure 5 In the embodiment, the first variable is set to age, the second variable is set to skin metabolism index, and the evaluation items displayed and output are set to five items: wrinkles, texture, scars, metabolism and scales, which are pre-set items.

[0086] exist Figure 5 In the implementation mode, if Figure 5 As shown in (2) of , the evaluation values ​​are shown in a bar graph. Figure 5 The display order of the evaluation items of the display output shown in (2) may be a predetermined order, or, for example, the display order may be changed according to the evaluation value (eg, in ascending order or descending order according to the evaluation value).

[0087] Figure 5 (3) shows a state where the operator specifies a coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30 at which the operator wishes to display evaluation values, using the operator's finger, and the evaluation values ​​of a plurality of evaluation items obtained based on the coordinate value (equivalent to the "second coordinate value") corresponding to the specified coordinate point (equivalent to the "second coordinate point") are displayed as a graph display 40 in a display area different from the two-dimensional area 30. Figure 5 (2) and Figure 5 In (3), since the coordinates of the 0 mark displayed in the two-dimensional area 30 are different, the evaluation value outputted in the graph display 40 is also Figure 5 (2) and Figure 5 (3)Different.

[0088] The operator can Figure 5 (3) The coordinate point can be directly specified by any coordinate on the two-dimensional area 30, but it can also be pointed by the operator's finger. Figure 5 The coordinate point marked with 0 shown in (2) is touched by a finger, and the finger is moved to the coordinate where the output evaluation value is desired to be displayed while sliding the finger. At this time, it is preferred to display the evaluation values ​​obtained based on the coordinates (the coordinates on the trajectory of the finger moving on the two-dimensional area 30) through which the finger slides in sequence on the graph display 40. By performing display control in this way, the operator's attention to the evaluation value prompting method can be increased. In addition, by the evaluation values ​​displayed on the graph display 40 changing successively, the operator can use it as a reference when specifying the coordinates at which the evaluation value is desired to be displayed. In addition, the content that the operator wants to know can be freely set, and the results corresponding to the content can be displayed, wherein the content is, for example: if the operator keeps the current status, what kind of evaluation value will be when the age increases; what kind of evaluation value will be when the skin metabolism index is improved; what is the position of the coordinates of the desired evaluation value (for example, the evaluation value of wrinkles is improved compared to the current status), etc.

[0089] In this way, in the designation process (a case in which the operator designates a second coordinate point different from the displayed first coordinate point on the two-dimensional area), the operator can continuously designate multiple coordinate points on the two-dimensional area 30, and in the evaluation value display process (displaying the display output corresponding to the evaluation value in a display area different from the two-dimensional area), each time the coordinate point designated by the designation process changes, the display output corresponding to the calculated evaluation value of one or more evaluation items is displayed, so that the display output is displayed in a continuously changing manner (equivalent to displaying the evaluation value in the successive graph display 40).

[0090] When the operator ends the designation on the two-dimensional area 30 (releases the finger from the two-dimensional area 30), a zero mark (becomes Figure 5 In this case, the evaluation value obtained based on the coordinate value can be displayed as a graph display 40 (which becomes Figure 5 In the case where the operator specifies coordinates on the two-dimensional area 30, a zero mark may be displayed at the last specified coordinate (the coordinate when the finger is released from the two-dimensional area 30), and the evaluation value obtained based on the coordinate value may be displayed on the graph display 40. In addition, when the operator specifies a coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30 again, a zero mark may be displayed on the two-dimensional area 30 for the specified coordinate, and the evaluation value obtained based on the coordinate value may be displayed on the graph display 40.

[0091] Figure 5 (4) is a screen image when proposing a medicine suitable for the operator. The medicine proposal is one of the evaluation items calculated by applying the first variable and the second variable obtained based on the coordinate value to the evaluation data. Figure 5 The wrinkles, texture, scars, metabolism, and scales shown in (2) and (3) are of different natures. Figure 5 As shown in (4) of FIG. 1 , it is preferably displayed separately from the graph display 40 .

[0092] The proposal of the drug as Figure 3 The evaluation data related to the drug is stored in the database as one of the evaluation data shown. The evaluation data related to the drug is generated based on the skin-related interviews including age of multiple subjects and the measurement results of skin-related items based on the measuring device, similar to the evaluation data. The interview items include information on the drug currently used by the subject.

[0093] For each coordinate of the two-dimensional area 30, evaluation data related to the drug used by the subject at the coordinate is stored. The drug currently being used by the subject at the corresponding coordinate is estimated to be a drug suitable for the subject of the age and skin metabolism index corresponding to the coordinate, and a proposal is made to the operator. In this way, a drug suitable for the current age and skin metabolism index (skin condition) can be proposed based on the operator information. In addition, for example, it is also possible to understand what drug is suitable for the coordinate with a better skin metabolism index at the current operator's age. Figure 5 The products A and B shown in (4) can be the same type of products (for example, from lotions, the recommended medicines are lotion A (product A) and lotion B (product B)), or different types of products can be displayed as recommended medicines (for example, lotion A (product A) and lotion B (product B)). In this way, the operator can not only simulate the skin condition, but also freely simulate the medicine.

[0094] In this way, by including items representing drugs currently being used by a plurality of subjects as one or more evaluation items, drugs suitable for the operator can be proposed, thereby providing the operator with a lot of useful information.

[0095] Figure 5 (5) represents the state in which the operator moves the coordinate point to the coordinate of 65 years old. This is the skin state in the future that the operator wants to simulate for the operator (in Figure 5 In the case of (5), the skin condition of a 65-year-old is shown. In this case, if the two-dimensional area 30 is kept Figure 5If the state shown in (5) of does not change, then if it is desired to simulate a further future skin state, such as the skin state of an 80-year-old, the coordinate point cannot be moved. Figure 5 As shown in (6) of FIG. 1 , display control is performed so that the coordinate point designated by the operator becomes the center of the two-dimensional area 30. Figure 5 In (6), the two-dimensional area 30 is moved toward the future for the first variable direction, but it can also be moved toward the past. In addition, the two-dimensional area 30 can also be moved in the second variable direction in accordance with the coordinate point specified by the operator to perform display control.

[0096] Figure 6 < / RTI> This is a flowchart of the present method. <Questionnaire items>, <Calculation method of evaluation values ​​of evaluation items>, etc. are the same as those described above.

[0097] The process (step S200) is to display the medical consultation items on the display unit 110 in order to output the operator information. Figure 5 The display method is as shown in (1).

[0098] The step (step S210 ) is a process in which the operator inputs answers to the medical questionnaire items displayed on the display unit 110 , and is an input step of inputting the operator's information (answers to the medical questionnaire items) related to the living body.

[0099] The step (step S220 ) is a process of displaying the two-dimensional region 30 composed of the first axis representing the first variable and the second axis representing the second variable on the screen, and is a two-dimensional region display step.

[0100] The process (step S230) is a process of calculating the first coordinate value based on the operator information input in step S210, and is a first coordinate value calculation process. The so-called "coordinate value" is the value of the coordinate on the two-dimensional area 30 composed of the first axis and the second axis, and is composed of the first variable and the second variable. The so-called "first coordinate value" is a coordinate value calculated based on the input operator information. In this embodiment, the first variable is the "age" of the operator, and the second variable is the "skin metabolism index" of the operator calculated based on the interview result.

[0101] The process (step S240 ) is a process of displaying a coordinate point (first coordinate point) of the first coordinate value calculated in step S230 in the two-dimensional area 30 of the display unit 110 , and is a first coordinate point display process of displaying the first coordinate point corresponding to the first coordinate value on the two-dimensional area 30 .

[0102] The process (step S250) is a process of applying the first variable and the second variable obtained based on the first coordinate value to the evaluation data to calculate the evaluation value of one or more evaluation items, and is a first evaluation value calculation process of calculating the evaluation value of one or more evaluation items corresponding to the first variable and the second variable based on the calculated first coordinate value. The average value of the skin-related items collected by interviewing a plurality of test subjects and measuring the skin is calculated as the evaluation value of one or more evaluation items (in this embodiment, wrinkles, texture, scars, metabolism, and scales).

[0103] The step (step S260) is a process of displaying a display output corresponding to the evaluation value of the evaluation item calculated in step S250 in a display area (graph display 40) different from the two-dimensional area 30 of the display unit 110, and is an evaluation value display step of displaying a display output corresponding to the evaluation value calculated in the first evaluation value calculation step in a display area (graph display 40) different from the two-dimensional area 30. The display unit 110 becomes Figure 5 The display method is as shown in (2).

[0104] In addition, the process of displaying the display output corresponding to the evaluation value of the evaluation item based on the second coordinate value calculated in step S290 described later on the display area (graph display 40) of the display unit 110 different from the two-dimensional area 30 is an evaluation value display step of displaying the display output corresponding to the evaluation value calculated in the second evaluation value calculation step on the display area (graph display 40) different from the two-dimensional area 30. The display unit 110 becomes Figure 5 The display method is as shown in (3).

[0105] The process (step S265) is a process in which the operator specifies a coordinate point on the displayed two-dimensional area 30, and is a process in which the operator specifies a second coordinate point different from the displayed first coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30. When the display unit 110 is a touch screen, the display surface of the display unit 110 is pressed with the operator's finger or a touch pen. When the display unit 110 is not a touch screen, the coordinate point to be specified is overlapped with the input position of the display area where the two-dimensional area 30 is displayed using an input device such as a mouse (not shown), or the first variable and the second variable are input using a keyboard.

[0106] The process (step S270) is a process for determining whether a coordinate point (second coordinate point) has been designated by the operator on the displayed two-dimensional area 30. If it is determined that a coordinate point has been designated by the operator, the process proceeds to step S280, and if it is determined that a coordinate point has not been designated by the operator, the process ends.

[0107] The process (step S280) is a process of obtaining the coordinate values ​​of the first axis and the second axis corresponding to the designated coordinate point when a determination is made in step S270 that there is an intention based on the designation of a coordinate point (second coordinate point) by the operator, and is a second coordinate value acquisition process of obtaining the second coordinate values ​​of the first axis and the second axis corresponding to the designated second coordinate point.

[0108] The process (step S290) is a process of applying the first variable and the second variable obtained based on the second coordinate value to the evaluation data to calculate the evaluation value of one or more evaluation items. It is a second evaluation value calculation process for calculating the evaluation value of one or more evaluation items corresponding to the first variable and the second variable based on the obtained second coordinate value. The evaluation items and the calculated evaluation values ​​are the same as step S250. If the evaluation value based on the second coordinate value is calculated, the process proceeds to step S260, and the calculated evaluation value is displayed in a display area (chart display 40) of the display unit 110 that is different from the two-dimensional area 30. The display unit 110 becomes Figure 5 The display method is as shown in (3).

[0109] <Modification>

[0110] In this embodiment, it is not clearly stated whether Figure 1 or Figure 5 The two-dimensional area 30 shown in the figure displays the evaluation value of the evaluation item, but it is better to display the evaluation value of one or more evaluation items on the screen in the two-dimensional area 30 in which at least one of the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items is hidden. In this way, the operator's interest can be improved when the operator specifies the coordinate point and the evaluation value of the evaluation item is displayed as a graph display 40. In addition, especially in the case where there are multiple evaluation values ​​of the evaluation item, if the evaluation value of the evaluation item is displayed in the two-dimensional area 30, it is difficult to grasp the evaluation value for the specified coordinate point, and it may also be difficult to grasp the coordinates. However, by hiding the evaluation value of the evaluation item on the two-dimensional area 30, the operator can easily grasp the coordinates and easily specify an appropriate position.

[0111] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the evaluation value display process displays the relationship between one or more evaluation items and the evaluation values ​​of one or more evaluation items in a bar graph as a display output, but is not limited to this. In addition to pie chart display, radar chart display, display of the evaluation value itself (numerical display), display using illustrations, virtual images, and display based on color differences, for example, the operator's facial image can be obtained, and an image based on the facial image processed to reflect the evaluation values ​​(simulated facial image) can be displayed. As long as it can increase the operator's interest in the evaluation values ​​and the operator can easily grasp the display method of the evaluation values, it can be a display method.

[0112] exist Figure 7 The case where a facial image of an operator is obtained and the facial image is processed to reflect the evaluation value is described.

[0113] Figure 7 (1) and Figure 5 (1) is similar to the case where the operator's biological information is inputted by the operator answering questions. In this case, the operator's face can be photographed by a camera provided in the information presentation device 100 and inputted as the operator information, and the photographed image can be displayed in an area (face image display area 60) different from the two-dimensional area 30. Figure 7 (2) is a screen image in which a coordinate point of a first coordinate value calculated based on operator information is displayed on the two-dimensional area 30, a display output (graph display 40) corresponding to an evaluation value of an evaluation item calculated based on the first coordinate value is displayed, and a face image of the operator at the current time point is displayed in the face image display area 60. In addition, instead of a face image, an avatar image of the operator may be created based on the operator information and displayed.

[0114] Figure 7 (3) is a screen image when the operator moves the coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30 to specify the second coordinate point. The second coordinate value is calculated based on the second coordinate point, and the display output (graph display 40) corresponding to the evaluation value of the evaluation item calculated based on the second coordinate value is displayed. Furthermore, based on the calculated evaluation value, the face image of the operator at the second coordinate value is displayed in the face image display area 60. In this way, by displaying the face image in addition to the graph display 40, the operator can easily grasp the change in the state predicted by the operator himself.

[0115] The method of creating the face image in the second coordinate value is described.

[0116] For each evaluation item (in this embodiment, wrinkles, texture, scars, metabolism, and scales), a table is stored that is pre-set about which part of the face (target part) the influence on the evaluation value of the evaluation item is found, and to what extent (discovery level). Specifically, for example, when the evaluation item is wrinkles, the target parts are the corners of the eyes, corners of the mouth, and corners of the eyes + corners of the mouth, and the discovery level is set to the depth, length, and number of wrinkles. When the evaluation item is scars, the target parts are under the eyes, cheeks, and under the eyes + cheeks, and the discovery level is set to the depth, area, and density of the color of the scars, and a table corresponding to each evaluation value is stored. This table is pre-made based on the values ​​collected by interviewing multiple subjects, measuring the skin, and obtaining skin images.

[0117] like Figure 7As shown in (2) of FIG. 1 , the face image at the current time point is displayed in the face image display area 60. Then, the operator selects which evaluation item of the evaluation items he wants to know about the change. For example, wrinkles are selected. Then, since the evaluation value of the graph display 40 also changes when the operator moves the coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30, the object part and the detection level corresponding to the evaluation value of wrinkles among the five evaluation items are determined using the above table, and the determined object part and the detection level are reflected on the face image of the face image display area 60 to create a graph. Figure 7 The face image shown in (3).

[0118] In this way, a face image based on the evaluation value corresponding to the operator moving the coordinate point can be created, and the operator can grasp the evaluation value of the evaluation item using not only the graph display 40 but also the face image. In the above description, the operator is asked to select which evaluation item of the evaluation items he wants to know the change of, but the discovery status corresponding to the evaluation value of all evaluation items can also be reflected in the face image.

[0119] In the present embodiment, the evaluation value is prompted by the graph display 40 and the face image display area 60, but in addition to the display output, a sound corresponding to the evaluation value may be added (for example, when the skin condition is a good evaluation value, a sound of a brilliant feeling is output, and when the evaluation value is not a good value, a support message or a sound urging rest is output).

[0120] In the present embodiment, the operator inputs answers to the medical questionnaire items displayed on the display unit 110, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the medical questionnaire items that are outputted by voice may be inputted by voice. In addition, the operator information may be inputted by taking a facial image of the operator and performing image analysis on the facial image. In addition, the physical property value of the operator's face (skin) may be measured by a measuring device, and a medical questionnaire item for inputting the measured value may be set. The operator information may be inputted in any manner.

[0121] In the present embodiment, the operator information can be input from the operator's facial image, but similarly, the information of a third party, such as the facial image of the third party, can be read in, and the coordinate value (referred to as the "third coordinate value") is calculated from the read image, and the coordinate point corresponding to the third coordinate value (referred to as the "third coordinate point") is displayed in the two-dimensional area 30. At this time, the third coordinate point is preferably set to a display method different from the coordinate point of the operator (for example, the mark is different). Then, the evaluation value based on the third coordinate value is calculated (referred to as the "third party evaluation value"), and the third party evaluation value is displayed in the chart display 40. At this time, the third party evaluation value preferably makes the operator's evaluation value display method different, or makes the display area different (dividing each evaluation item into the operator and the third party (making the bar chart representing the evaluation value into 2 bars)). For example, a third party is set as the person the operator wishes to become, and the facial image of the person the operator wishes to become is read in, and the evaluation value of the evaluation item (the third party evaluation value) is displayed, so that the operator can understand the difference with his or her own data. In addition, by searching for coordinate points where the evaluation value of the evaluation item that changes when the operator moves his or her own coordinate points is the same as the third party evaluation value, for example, the operator can recognize the difference between his or her own skin condition and the skin condition of the person he or she wishes to become, or the operator can understand how to manipulate his or her own skin metabolism indicators to approach the same skin condition as the person he or she wishes to become.

[0122] In this embodiment, in step S220, the two-dimensional area 30 is displayed, and in step S240, the first coordinate point corresponding to the first coordinate value is displayed on the two-dimensional area 30, but the present invention is not limited thereto. With respect to the two-dimensional area 30, the process of calculating the first coordinate value in step S230 is first performed, and at the timing of step S240, the process of displaying the two-dimensional area 30 and the process of displaying the first coordinate point corresponding to the first coordinate value on the two-dimensional area 30 are performed together. In this way, the display area of ​​the two-dimensional area 30 can be adjusted so that the first coordinate value becomes the approximate center of the two-dimensional area 30.

[0123] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown in (6), the display control is performed so that the designated coordinate point becomes the center of the two-dimensional area 30, but it is not limited to this. The operator can also scroll the two-dimensional area 30 so that the range corresponding to the coordinate value desired to be displayed can be displayed. In addition, by widening the display range of the two-dimensional area 30 (widening the range of the first variable and the second variable), the overall grasp can be made, and by narrowing the display range of the two-dimensional area 30 (narrowing the range of the first variable and the second variable), the coordinate point can be carefully formulated. In this way, the two-dimensional area display control unit 130 can accept the designation related to the display range of the two-dimensional area 30 from the operator, and change the display range of the two-dimensional area 30 based on the designation received from the operator.

[0124] exist Figure 6In the flowchart of , the first variable, the second variable, and the evaluation item are set as predetermined items, but it is also possible to Figure 2 As shown in the flowchart of , the operator can select the first variable, the second variable, and the evaluation item (step S100 selection process). In particular, since there is a possibility that the evaluation item that the operator wants to know is different, the first variable and the second variable may be predetermined items, and only the evaluation item can be selected by the operator. In addition, the selection process may be Figure 6 Before step S200, or after step S260. In the case after step S260, the first variable (age), the second variable (skin condition index), and the evaluation item (wrinkles, texture, scars, metabolism, and scaling) of which the first coordinate point corresponding to the first coordinate value calculated based on the operator information and the evaluation value of the evaluation item are predetermined may be displayed, and then the first variable, the second variable, and the evaluation item selected by the operator may be redisplayed.

[0125] In this embodiment, a two-dimensional area display control unit 130, a first coordinate calculation unit 135, a first coordinate point display control unit 140, a first evaluation value calculation unit 145, a second coordinate value acquisition unit 150, a second evaluation value calculation unit 155, and an evaluation value display control unit 160 are provided in the central processing unit of the information display device 100, but it is not limited thereto. For example, some of these may be provided in a computing device or a server provided separately from the information display device 100, and the computing is performed in these devices, and the information display device 100 obtains the computing result and displays it on the display unit. In this way, the processing performance of the smartphone or personal computer owned by the operator can be reduced, and any operator can use this method.

[0126] In this embodiment, Figure 3 The evaluation data shown is set as two-dimensional distribution data, but it can also be heat map data, contour map data, scatter diagram. In addition, it is not limited to map data, for example, it can also be a lookup table showing the relationship between the first variable and the second variable and the evaluation value of the evaluation item.

[0127] In addition, Figure 3 In the figure, as an example of evaluation data, two-dimensional distribution data in which the first axis is set to age and the second axis is set to skin metabolism index is shown, but the stored evaluation data also includes two-dimensional distribution data of various combinations consisting of a first axis representing a first variable selectable by an operator and a second axis representing a second variable selectable by the operator.
