[Figure 7] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of use of an information presentation device. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, an image of information presentation using the information presentation method of this embodiment (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the present method) will be described with reference to FIG. Fig. 1(1) is a screen image showing a two-dimensional area 30 with age on the first axis and skin metabolism index on the second axis, and a display output (graph display 40) showing evaluation values ​​for wrinkles, texture, age spots, metabolism, and scales as evaluation items on the display screen (display unit 110) of an information presentation device (e.g., smartphone) 100. Fig. 1(2) is a screen image after an operator specifies coordinate points on the two-dimensional area 30. In this method, as shown in Fig. 1 (1) and (2), a two-dimensional area 30 composed of a first axis and a second axis is displayed on an information presentation device 100. When an operator specifies a coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30, the coordinate value corresponding to the specified coordinate point is acquired, and an evaluation value of an evaluation item calculated from the acquired coordinate value is displayed and output in a display area different from the two-dimensional area 30, for example, as a graph display 40. The evaluation value of an evaluation item is displayed one-dimensionally (for example, a bar graph), for example, as shown in Fig. 1 (1) and (2). As shown in FIG. 1, this method makes it possible to grasp the evaluation value of an evaluation item corresponding to a coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30 by displaying and outputting, for example, a graph display 40 in a display area that is different from the two-dimensional area 30, for the evaluation value of the evaluation item that cannot be grasped only from the two-dimensional area 30. In particular, when there are many evaluation items for coordinate points on the two-dimensional area 30, if the evaluation values ​​are displayed in the two-dimensional area 30, it may be difficult to grasp the evaluation values. In addition, since the evaluation value of the evaluation item of the coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30 that the operator wants to grasp can be displayed and output as the graph display 40, it is possible to improve the convenience of the operator. Furthermore, since the display output content of the graph display 40 changes as the operator changes (moves) the coordinate point specified on the two-dimensional area 30, it is possible to easily perform simulations of various cases.

[0011] The information presentation method (this method) of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart (overview) shown in FIG.

[0012] In this embodiment, the first variable is composed of multiple types of first variables, and the second variable is composed of multiple types of second variables, and the operator can select any one of the multiple types of first variables, any one of the multiple types of second variables, and any one of the evaluation values ​​of one or multiple evaluation items. The step (step S100) is a step in which the operator selects which one of the first variables, which one of the second variables, and which evaluation value of which evaluation item based on the first variable and the second variable is to be displayed. The operator may be able to select all of the first variable, the second variable, and the evaluation items, or may be able to select only some of them (for example, only the second variable), or may use predetermined items (not be selected by the operator). When predetermined items are used, this step may not be provided. The "first variable" is one of the items (values) associated with the information to be evaluated and presented, and is an item directly or indirectly related to the skin condition when an item related to skin is evaluated and presented, an item directly or indirectly related to the hair condition when an item related to hair is evaluated and presented, an item directly or indirectly related to the beauty condition when an item related to beauty is evaluated and presented, and an item directly or indirectly related to the health condition when an item related to health is evaluated and presented. 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 skin surface shape (irregularity), and items related to skin color. Items related to skin components include the moisture content of the stratum corneum and the amount of sebum, items related to skin physical properties include skin elasticity, firmness, hardness, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), items related to the skin surface shape (irregularity) include skin texture, wrinkles, pores, sagging, scales, etc., and items related to skin color include skin blemishes, freckles, pigmented spots, L * , a * , b * , etc. The "second variable" is one of the items (values) associated with the information to be evaluated and presented that is different from the first variable, and includes the same items as those listed as the first variable. The "evaluation value of the evaluation item" is one or more items (values) calculated from the first variable and the second variable, and includes the same items as those listed in the first variable above. The "items (values) related to time" are items (values) that change over time, specifically, age, estimated age, season, month, time of day (morning, afternoon, night), etc. The "medical interview items (values)" are items related to skin, such as age, skin condition, and skin type, answered by the subject. The "measurement items (values)" are various measurements related to the subject's skin. The "estimated items (values) related to the subject's skin" are items (values) related to the subject's skin condition estimated from the medical interview, skin measurement results, and skin image acquisition, specifically, skin metabolism index, pore score, dullness, spots, wrinkles, etc. Here, the "skin metabolism index" is a quantitative index related to the metabolic state of the skin, such as whether or not cell regeneration that occurs in the display of skin tissue is occurring normally, cell regeneration rate (turnover rate), cell area of ​​stratum corneum cells, degree of stratification, ceramide profile, protein αβ, skin temperature recovery rate, and capillary reaction, and is based on the medical interview and skin measurement results conducted on the subject. Both such indices and quantitative indices may be referred to as skin metabolism indices. The "item (value) calculated from the first variable and the second variable" refers to an item (value) or information related to skin, such as an average value of the values ​​of the items related to skin collected by conducting interviews, skin measurements, and skin image acquisition for multiple subjects, or a recommended makeup product, skin care product, or other agent calculated based on the first variable and the second variable, or a recommended skin care method. The "averaged value," which will be described in detail later, refers to a distribution calculated based on the first variable and the second variable of the values ​​of the items related to skin collected by conducting interviews and skin measurements for multiple subjects. In this way, the evaluation value of the evaluation item includes an item that represents the condition of a person's skin. "Selectable" means that any selection method is acceptable as long as the operator can select the first variable, the second variable, and the evaluation value of the evaluation item. For example, a pull-down menu or check box may be provided to allow the operator to select the first variable, the second variable, and the evaluation value. In this embodiment, the first variable is "age", the second variable is "skin metabolism index", and the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items are "wrinkles", "texture", "age spots", "metabolism", and "scale" selected by the operator. The process (step S100) corresponds to a "selection process."

[0013] Here, preferred forms of the first variable, the second variable, and the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items will be described. The first variable may be an item (value) related to time, an item (value) of a medical interview, an item (value) of measurement, an item (value) related to an estimated subject's skin, etc., but is particularly preferably an item (value) related to time, for example, an item (value) that changes over time, such as age, seasonal change, estimated age, etc. In this embodiment, the first variable is "age". For a user (operator), an item that changes over time, such as age, is an item of high interest as an item related to skin condition, and in particular, since there are many items of skin condition that improve (or worsen) over a certain period of time, setting the first variable to "age" presents information of high interest to the user (operator). The second variable is different from the first variable, and is an item calculated or measured from operator information, details of which will be described later, such as items (values) related to time, interview items (values), measurement items (values), and items (values) related to the estimated subject's skin. In particular, items in which the user's lifestyle habits, such as diet, life style (ultraviolet rays and dryness), sleep time, stress, and preferences (tobacco and alcohol), have a greater influence on the value than age are preferable. Specifically, it is preferable to use a "skin metabolism index" or "vascular age" as the second variable, and in this embodiment, the second variable is the "skin metabolism index." The evaluation values ​​for the evaluation items include items (values) related to time, interview items (values), measurement items (values), and items (values) related to the estimated skin of the subject, but it is sufficient to present values ​​of items that are of particular interest to the user (operator), and in this embodiment, these are wrinkles, texture, age spots, metabolism, and scales. Here, when the first variable is "age", 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 influenced more by the user's lifestyle than by age will be described. An item whose value is influenced more by the user's lifestyle than by age is an item whose value can be improved (its value can be improved) by improving the user's lifestyle, and can be said to be an age-independent item, and whose value can be improved depending on the lifestyle even if the user is older. Among such age-independent items, an item that is not an item of the skin itself but is related to an item of the skin itself, and when this item improves (or worsens), the item of the skin itself is also improved (or worsened) is preferable. If an item that is not an item of the skin itself (for example, skin components, skin properties, skin shape, skin color, etc.) is set as the second variable, when the user simulates the future, if the value of the second variable (for example, skin metabolism index) is improved, it is possible to grasp how the value of the evaluation item (in this embodiment, wrinkles, texture, age spots, metabolism, scales) will be, and the present method can be used as an opportunity to make an effort to improve lifestyle habits, etc.

[0014] The step (step S110) is a step of displaying on the screen a two-dimensional area 30 configured with a first axis indicating a first variable and a second axis indicating a second variable. If the operator selects the first variable and / or the second variable in the step (step S100), the two-dimensional area 30 is displayed on the screen based on the selected first variable and / or the selected second variable. The "first axis" is an axis indicating a first variable, and in this embodiment, the horizontal axis (age) of the two-dimensional area 30 in FIGS. 1(1) and 1(2) corresponds to the first axis. The "second axis" is an axis indicating a second variable, and in this embodiment, the vertical axis (skin metabolic index) of the two-dimensional area 30 in FIGS. 1(1) and 1(2) corresponds to the second axis. A “two-dimensional region” is a region having two coordinates, specifically, a region composed of two directions, a first axis direction and a second axis direction, which in this embodiment corresponds to 30 in Figures 1(1) and (2). "On the screen" refers to the display area of ​​a display device provided in a personal computer, mobile computer, PDA, tablet terminal, mobile phone, etc. The process (step S110) corresponds to a "two-dimensional area display process."

[0015] The step (step S120) is a step of inputting operator (sometimes called "user") information (operator information) (corresponding to an "input step") and a coordinate calculation step of calculating coordinate values ​​based on the input information (corresponding to a "first coordinate value calculation step"). The operator information is information about the operator's biological body, such as the operator's age, sex, physical condition, lifestyle, occupation, sleep time, tastes, hobbies, etc., questions (medical interview items) related to or affecting the biological body, particularly in this embodiment, answers to questions (medical interview items) affecting the skin condition, and / or skin component measurement results (including measurement results based on images of the skin), and the like, and among these items, predetermined items are input. Although FIG. 1 does not show a screen image when questions (medical interview items) are displayed on the display device, a screen similar to FIG. 5(1) described later is displayed at a stage before step S120. The stage before step S120 may be any of the stages before step S100, before step S110, and before step S120. Then, the first variable and the second variable are calculated based on the input information, and a coordinate value (first coordinate value) based on the operator information is calculated. Here, the "coordinate value" refers to a coordinate value on a two-dimensional area 30 composed of a first axis and a second axis, and is composed of a first variable and a second variable. In this embodiment, the coordinate value (first coordinate value) calculated based on the input operator information is such that the first variable is the operator's age, and the second variable is a skin metabolism index calculated from the medical interview result.

[0016] The step (step S130) is a step of displaying a coordinate point (first coordinate point (corresponding to a circle mark written on the two-dimensional area 30 in FIG. 1(1))) corresponding to the coordinate value (first coordinate value) calculated in step S120 or a coordinate point (second coordinate point) corresponding to the coordinate of the coordinate value (second coordinate value) acquired in step S170 described later. As described later, in this method, the operator can specify a coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30 and slide the specified position, so that the position of the coordinate point displayed in the two-dimensional area 30 is changed and displayed according to the slide movement. In this embodiment, the coordinate point is displayed as a circle mark, but any display mode may 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 acquired in step S170 does not need to be displayed when the operator is moving the coordinate point (sliding the specified position). Alternatively, when the operator finishes moving the coordinate point (when the operator releases his / her finger from the display device), the coordinate point corresponding to the coordinate of the coordinate value may be displayed. The process (Step S130) includes a "first coordinate point display process."

[0017] The step (step S140) is a step of calculating evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items by applying a first variable and a second variable obtained from the coordinate values ​​(first coordinate values) calculated in step S120 or the coordinate values ​​(second coordinate values) acquired in step S170 described later to evaluation data described later. Although the details of the method of calculating the evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items will be described later, in this embodiment, a value obtained by averaging values ​​of skin-related items collected by interviewing and measuring the skin of multiple subjects is calculated as the evaluation value for one or more evaluation items. This step (step S140) corresponds to a "first evaluation value calculation step" and a "second coordinate value acquisition step".

[0018] The step (step S150) is a step of displaying a 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. If the operator designates the first variable and / or the second variable as any of the evaluation values ​​of one or more evaluation items in the step (step S100), the display output corresponding to the designated evaluation value of one or more evaluation items is displayed in an area different from the two-dimensional area 30. "Display output corresponding to the evaluation value of one or more evaluation items" means display output in a display form that allows the evaluation value of each evaluation item to be grasped, and specifically, any display output may be used, such as a numerical display of the evaluation value, a bar graph or pie chart for the evaluation item, a display using different colors (for example, a grayscale display according to the magnitude of the evaluation value), a display using an illustration (for example, making the skin condition of the illustration different depending on the evaluation value), or a display using an operator's avatar (for example, making the skin condition of the avatar different depending on the evaluation value), and it is preferable to use a display output that takes into consideration the ease of grasping the evaluation value and the visual appeal. Also, for example, a display output may be used in a plurality of display forms, such as display output of both a bar graph and a display using an operator's avatar. The "display area different from the two-dimensional area" may be different from the two-dimensional area 30, and it is preferable that the display area be located close to the two-dimensional area 30, such as the display area displaying the graph display 40 shown in Figure 1 (1). This step (Step S150) corresponds to the "evaluation value display step."

[0019] A step (step S160) is a step in which the operator designates a coordinate point on the displayed two-dimensional area 30, and whether or not the designation has been made is determined. "Designate" means that the operator designates a coordinate point on the displayed two-dimensional area 30. If the display device is a touch screen, this means pressing the display surface of the display device with the operator's finger or a touch pen, and if the display device is not a touch screen, this is designated by placing an input position using an input device such as a mouse (not shown) on the coordinate point to be designated in the display area where the two-dimensional area 30 is displayed, or by inputting the first variable and the second variable using a keyboard. In this embodiment, it is determined whether the operator has designated a coordinate point, and if so, the process proceeds to step S170, and if not, the process ends. The process (step S160) includes a "designation process."

[0020] A step (step S170) is a step of acquiring the coordinate values ​​of the first axis and the second axis (second coordinate values) 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 acquired as coordinate values. This step (step S170) corresponds to a "second coordinate value acquisition step."

[0021] <Calculation method of evaluation item evaluation value> Next, a method for calculating the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items in the process (step S140) will be described with reference to FIG. For 110 female subjects in their 20s to 60s, a skin interview including age is conducted for each subject, and skin-related items are measured using a measuring device. The interview content may be the same as the interview content conducted when inputting the operator information in step S120, or it may be different. The measurement content using the measuring device includes measurement of transepidermal water loss using a water loss meter, measurement of the amount of water contained in the stratum corneum using a stratum corneum moisture meter, measurement of the amount of secreted sebum using an oil content meter and sebum secretion amount measuring device, measurement of skin elasticity, firmness, and hardness using a skin viscoelasticity measuring device, measurement of melanin pigment and hemoglobin using a melanin and erythema hemoglobin measuring device, measurement of texture, wrinkles, pores, etc. using a microscope, and measurement of unevenness of the skin surface such as wrinkles and texture using skin image analysis. Note that the measurement content described above is an example, and it is sufficient to measure values ​​required for the evaluation items. The interview content and the measured values ​​are combined to calculate the skin metabolism index of each subject as a quantitative value. Based on the age and skin metabolism index of the subjects, a database of two-dimensional data as shown in Figures 3(1) to (4) is created. Figure 3(1) shows the a * The two-dimensional data is the evaluation value of the a value of the mouth of subjects (one or more people) who are similar in age and skin metabolism index. * The two-dimensional data shown in FIG. 3 shows age on the horizontal axis and skin metabolic index on the vertical axis. The two-dimensional data is divided into a plurality of regions by dividing the horizontal and vertical axes at predetermined intervals, and the measurement values ​​are classified into the divided regions based on the age and skin metabolic index of each subject, and the average value of the measurement values ​​of the subjects classified into each divided region is assigned. In this embodiment, the closer the skin metabolic index value is to 1, the more normal the skin metabolism is. FIG. 3(1) shows a * The results show that the skin metabolism index was calculated based on the values. * The value is L * a * b * It is one of the complementary color dimensions of the color space and one of the values ​​that indicate the color of the skin surface. * A higher value indicates redness. Inflamed skin is a *The values ​​tend to be high (on the positive side). Figure 3 (2) shows the results of calculating the skin metabolic index based on the scale on the cheek. Scaling is a condition in which the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin, peels off. Depending on the condition of the scale, for example, a score of 0 is given if there is no scale, 1 if there is moderate scale, and 2 if there is severe scale, and the skin metabolic index is calculated based on the results. Figure 3 (3) shows the results of calculating the skin metabolic index based on the sagging score of the entire face. Sagging is a condition caused by a decrease in the elasticity and firmness of the skin, and the skin metabolic index is calculated based on the sagging score of the entire face obtained from the values ​​measured by a measuring device. Figure 3 (4) shows the results of calculating the skin metabolic index based on the wrinkle score on the forehead. The skin metabolic index is calculated based on the wrinkle score obtained from the measured wrinkle values. Note that in Figure 3, * In the above, four data based on the value (mouth), scale (cheeks), sagging score (whole face), and wrinkle score (forehead) are shown, but by providing a large number of data such as data based on scale (mouth), scale (forehead), scale score (mouth), scale score (average), texture (forehead), and texture (mouth), the types of evaluation items to be displayed and output can be increased, and the accuracy of the evaluation value can be improved. It is only necessary to appropriately determine what kind of database to prepare, taking into consideration the types and accuracy of the evaluation items to be displayed and output, and the processing capacity. The database of two-dimensional data shown in FIG. 3 corresponds to the "evaluation data." In the examples of FIG. 3(1) to (4), quantitative values ​​such as measurements and scores are used as the evaluation values, but when the evaluation value is not a quantitative value (for example, a binary choice of 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. In this way, the first variable (e.g., age) and the evaluation values ​​of one or more evaluation items (e.g., evaluation values ​​of wrinkles, texture, etc.) are obtained from a population of multiple subjects, and the second variable (e.g., skin metabolic index) is calculated based on the first variable and the measured values ​​of the multiple subjects. Then, the evaluation value of the evaluation item of the acquired coordinate value is calculated by fitting the coordinate value acquired in the acquisition step to a predetermined arithmetic expression of a two-variable function or a multiple regression model using the database of two-dimensional data shown in Fig. 3. The evaluation value is calculated using data predetermined according to the evaluation item to be displayed and output from the stored database.

[0022] <About the medical interview questions> Next, the preset medical interview items used when inputting operator information in the step (step S120) will be described. The medical interview items input by the operator are set by creating an estimation model for estimating the measured values ​​of skin-related items using the skin interview results including age for each of the above-mentioned multiple subjects (110 female subjects in their 20s to 60s) and the measurement results of skin-related items using a measuring device, and setting medical interview items for estimating skin metabolic indexes using the created estimation model. For the medical interview items set in this way, operator information is input (answering the medical interview items), and the coordinate values ​​(first variable and second variable) calculated based on the input operator information are applied to the evaluation data, making it possible to calculate evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items.

[0023] Next, an information display device 100 equipped with the above-mentioned information display method will be described. FIG. 4 shows a conceptual diagram of the information display device 100. As shown in FIG. The information presentation device 100 includes an input unit 105, a display unit 110, a designation unit 120, a two-dimensional region 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 this embodiment, the information presentation device 100 is an integrated device with a central processing unit and a display device, such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a personal computer, but the central processing unit and the display device may be separate devices.

[0024] The input unit 105 is a means for inputting operator information related to the operator's biological information, and is a means for inputting data from input devices such as a keyboard or a touch pen, data from a microphone for inputting voice, data from a camera provided in the information presentation device 100 (data captured by the camera), and data captured by another device and acquired by the information presentation device 100 via the Internet, and corresponds to a central processing unit. The display unit 110 is a means for displaying a display output corresponding to the two-dimensional area 30 and the evaluation value of the evaluation item. This corresponds to a display device provided in a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, etc. Considering operability and the effect of the present method, it is preferable that the display device is a touch screen. The designation unit 120 is a means by which the operator designates a coordinate point on the displayed two-dimensional area 30. If the display device is a touch screen, the designation unit 120 corresponds to the operator's finger and a sensor provided on the touch screen for detecting input (the operator's finger). The two-dimensional area display control unit 130 is a means for causing the display unit 110 to display a two-dimensional area 30 configured with a first axis indicating a first variable and a second axis indicating a second variable, and corresponds to a central processing unit. The first coordinate calculation unit 135 is a means for calculating a first coordinate value based on the input operator information, and corresponds to a central processing unit. The first coordinate point display control unit 140 is a means for displaying a first coordinate point corresponding to a first coordinate value on the two-dimensional area 30, and corresponds to a central processing unit. The first evaluation value calculation unit 145 is a means for calculating 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. The second coordinate value acquisition unit 150 is a means for acquiring second coordinate values ​​of the first axis and the second axis corresponding to a specified second coordinate point, and corresponds to a central processing unit. The second evaluation value calculation unit 155 is a means for calculating the evaluation value of the evaluation item based on the acquired second coordinate value, and corresponds to the central processing unit. The evaluation value display control unit 160 is a means for displaying a display output (e.g., a graph display 40) corresponding to the calculated evaluation value of one or more evaluation items in a display area different from the two-dimensional area 30 of the display means, and corresponds to a central processing unit. The storage unit 170 stores a computer program for executing the information presentation method and the evaluation data shown in Fig. 3. The computer program for executing the information presentation method also includes an arithmetic expression for a two-variable function or a multiple regression model used when calculating an evaluation value of an evaluation item by applying the calculated coordinate values ​​or the acquired coordinate values ​​to the evaluation data.

[0025] A method for displaying evaluation values ​​of skin evaluation items by the information display device 100 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 5, a smartphone is used as the information presentation device 100. FIG. 5(1) shows a screen image for inputting operator information. As shown in FIG. 5(1), medical interview items 20 including the operator's age are displayed. The operator inputs answers according to the displayed medical interview items 20. In FIG. 5(1), answers are selected from a pull-down menu and input, but the input method is not limited to this. For example, multiple answer check boxes may be displayed for each interview, and answers may be input by inputting check marks. Furthermore, answers may be selected from a predetermined range (for example, five ranges for "What is your skin condition?": good, slightly good, normal, slightly bad, and bad), or answers may be input in a non-ranged range using a slider.

[0026] Figure 5 (2) shows a state in which coordinate values ​​(corresponding to "first coordinate values") are calculated based on the input operator information, a circle is displayed at the corresponding coordinates in the two-dimensional area 30 (displaying the "first coordinate point"), and evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items are calculated from the calculated coordinate values, and a display output corresponding to the evaluation values ​​for the one or more evaluation items is performed in a display area different from the two-dimensional area 30 (for example, corresponding to the area where the graph display 40 in Figure 5 (2) is displayed). Here, in the embodiment of FIG. 5, the first variable is age, the second variable is a skin metabolism index, and the evaluation items to be displayed and output are five items: wrinkles, texture, age spots, metabolism, and scale, and these items are preset items. In the embodiment of Fig. 5, the evaluation values ​​are shown in a bar graph as shown in Fig. 5(2). The display order of the evaluation items in the display output shown in Fig. 5(2) may be a predetermined order, or the display order may be changed depending on the evaluation value (e.g., ascending / descending order depending on the evaluation value).

[0027] Fig. 5(3) shows that the operator has specified with his / her finger a coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30 where the operator wishes to display the evaluation value, and shows a state in which evaluation values ​​for multiple evaluation items calculated from the coordinate value (corresponding to the "second coordinate value") corresponding to the specified coordinate point (corresponding to the "second coordinate point") are displayed as a graph display 40 in a display area different from the two-dimensional area 30. Since the coordinates of the circle displayed in the two-dimensional area 30 are different in Fig. 5(2) and Fig. 5(3), the evaluation values ​​displayed and output in the graph display 40 are also different between Fig. 5(2) and Fig. 5(3). The operator may directly specify a coordinate point at any coordinate on the two-dimensional area 30 in FIG. 5(3), or may place (touch) the operator's finger on the coordinate point of the circle shown in FIG. 5(2) and slide the finger to move the finger to the coordinate at which the evaluation value is to be displayed. In this case, it is preferable to sequentially display the evaluation value obtained from the coordinates passed by when the finger is slid (the coordinates on the path of the finger moving on the two-dimensional area 30) on the graph display 40. By controlling the display in this way, the operator's interest in the method of presenting the evaluation value can be increased, and the operator can refer to the sequential change of the evaluation value displayed on the graph display 40 when specifying the coordinates at which the evaluation value is to be displayed. In addition, the operator can freely set the content that the operator wants to know, such as what evaluation value will be if the operator ages as it is, what evaluation value will be if the skin metabolism index is improved, and what is the coordinate of the evaluation value that the operator wants to be (for example, the value at which the evaluation value of wrinkles is improved from the current state), and display the results according to the content. In this way, the designation process (when the operator designates a second coordinate point on the two-dimensional area that is different from the displayed first coordinate point) allows the operator to continuously designate multiple coordinate points on the two-dimensional area 30, and the evaluation value display process (displaying the display output corresponding to the evaluation value in a display area different from the two-dimensional area) displays the display output corresponding to the calculated evaluation value of one or more evaluation items each time the coordinate point designated by the designation process is changed, thereby continuously changing and displaying the display output (equivalent to sequentially displaying the evaluation values ​​on the graph display 40). When the operator does not specify a point on the two-dimensional area 30 (removes the finger from the two-dimensional area 30), a circle may be displayed at the coordinate based on the input operator information (resulting in the display of the two-dimensional area 30 shown in FIG. 5(2)), and the evaluation value calculated from the coordinate values ​​may be displayed as the graph display 40 (resulting in the display of the graph display 40 shown in FIG. 5(2)). Alternatively, when the operator specifies coordinates on the two-dimensional area 30, a circle may be displayed at the last specified coordinates (the coordinates when the finger is removed from the two-dimensional area 30), and the evaluation value calculated from the coordinate values ​​may be displayed as the graph display 40. When the operator specifies a coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30 again, a circle may be displayed at the specified coordinates in the two-dimensional area 30, and the evaluation value calculated from the coordinate values ​​may be displayed in the graph display 40.

[0028] Fig. 5(4) is a screen image when a suitable agent is suggested to the operator. The agent suggestion may be one of the evaluation items calculated by applying the first and second variables obtained from the coordinate values ​​to the evaluation data. However, since the nature of the items is different from the wrinkles, texture, age spots, metabolism, and scale items shown in Fig. 5(2) and (3), it is preferable to display them separately from the graph display 40, as shown in Fig. 5(4). The agent suggestions are stored in the database as one of the evaluation data shown in Fig. 3. The agent evaluation data, like the evaluation data, is created from skin-related interviews, including age, conducted on multiple subjects, and the results of skin-related measurements taken with a measuring device. The interview items should include information on the agents used by the subject. The evaluation data on the agent is stored for each coordinate in the two-dimensional area 30, with respect to the agent used by the subject at the coordinate. The agent used by the subject at the corresponding coordinate is estimated as an agent suitable for the subject with the age and skin metabolic index corresponding to the coordinate, and is proposed to the operator. In this way, it is possible to propose an agent suitable for the current age and skin metabolic index (skin condition) based on the operator information, and it is also possible to understand what agent is suitable for the coordinate with a better skin metabolic index for the current age of the operator. Product A and product B shown in FIG. 5(4) may display products of the same type (for example, lotion A (product A) and lotion B (product B) as recommended agents from among lotions), or may display recommended agents from different types of products (for example, lotion A (product A) and emulsion B (product B)). In this way, the operator can freely perform simulations of not only the skin condition but also the agents. In this way, by including as one or more evaluation items items representing medications used by multiple subjects and suggesting medications suitable for the operator, it is possible to provide the operator with a wealth of useful information.

[0029] FIG. 5(5) shows a state where the operator moves the coordinate point to the coordinate of age 65. This is the case where the operator wants to simulate the future skin condition for the operator (skin condition at age 65 in the case of FIG. 5(5)). In this case, if the two-dimensional area 30 remains in the state shown in FIG. 5(5), the coordinate point cannot be moved when simulating a further future skin condition, for example, the skin condition at age 80. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5(6), it is preferable to control the display so that the coordinate point specified by the operator is the center of the two-dimensional area 30. In FIG. 5(6), the two-dimensional area 30 is shifted in the future direction in the first variable direction, but it may be shifted in the past direction, and similarly, the two-dimensional area 30 may be shifted in the second variable direction to match the coordinate point specified by the operator for display control.

[0030] The flowchart of this method is shown in Figure 6. Note that the <medical interview items> and <method of calculating the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items> are the same as those described above. The process (step S200) is a process of displaying medical interview items for inputting operator information on the display unit 110. The display unit 110 is in a display mode as shown in Fig. 5(1).

[0031] The step (step S210) is a process in which the operator inputs answers to the medical interview items displayed on the display unit 110, and is an input step in which operator information (answers to the medical interview items) relating to the operator's living body is input.

[0032] The step (step S220) is a process of displaying on the screen a two-dimensional area 30 configured with a first axis indicating a first variable and a second axis indicating a second variable, and is a two-dimensional area display step.

[0033] The step (step S230) is a process of calculating a first coordinate value based on the operator information input in step S210, and is a first coordinate value calculation step. The "coordinate value" is a coordinate value on a two-dimensional area 30 composed of a first axis and a second axis, and is composed of a first variable and a second variable. The "first coordinate value" is a coordinate value calculated based on the input operator information, and 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 from the interview result.

[0034] The step (step S240) is a process of displaying a coordinate point (first coordinate point) in the two-dimensional area 30 of the display unit 110 at the coordinates of the first coordinate value calculated in step S230, and is a first coordinate point display step of displaying the first coordinate point corresponding to the first coordinate value on the two-dimensional area 30.

[0035] The step (step S250) is a process of calculating evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items by applying the first and second variables found from the first coordinate values ​​to the evaluation data, and is a first evaluation value calculation step of calculating evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items associated with the first and second variables based on the calculated first coordinate values. As evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items (in this embodiment, wrinkles, texture, age spots, metabolism, and scales), values ​​obtained by averaging values ​​of skin-related items collected by interviewing and measuring the skin of multiple subjects are calculated.

[0036] 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 has a display form as shown in FIG. 5(2). This is also a process of displaying a display output corresponding to the evaluation value of the evaluation item based on the second coordinate value calculated in step S290 described later 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 second evaluation value calculation step in a display area (graph display 40) different from the two-dimensional area 30. The display unit 110 has a display mode as shown in Fig. 5(3).

[0037] The step (step S265) is a process in which the operator specifies a coordinate point on the displayed two-dimensional area 30, and is a specification step in which the operator specifies a second coordinate point, different from the displayed first coordinate point, on the two-dimensional area 30. If the display unit 110 is a touch screen, the operator presses the display surface of the display unit 110 with his / her finger or a touch pen, and if the display unit 110 is not a touch screen, the operator specifies the coordinate point by using an input device (not shown) such as a mouse to place an input position on the coordinate point to be specified in the display area where the two-dimensional area 30 is displayed, or by inputting a first variable and a second variable using a keyboard.

[0038] The step (step S270) is a process of determining whether or not the operator has specified a coordinate point (second coordinate point) on the displayed two-dimensional area 30. If it is determined that the operator has specified a coordinate point, the process proceeds to step S280, and if it is determined that the operator has not specified a coordinate point, the process ends.

[0039] The process (step S280) is a process for acquiring coordinate values ​​of the first axis and the second axis corresponding to the specified coordinate point when it is determined in step S270 that a coordinate point (second coordinate point) has been specified by the operator, and is a second coordinate value acquisition process for acquiring second coordinate values ​​of the first axis and the second axis corresponding to the specified second coordinate point.

[0040] The step (step S290) is a process of calculating evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items by applying the first and second variables found from the second coordinate values ​​to the evaluation data, and is a second evaluation value calculation step of calculating evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items associated with the first and second variables based on the acquired second coordinate values. The evaluation items and the calculated evaluation values ​​are the same as those in step S250. When the evaluation values ​​based on the second coordinate values ​​are calculated, the process proceeds to step S260, where the calculated evaluation values ​​are displayed in a display area (graph display 40) different from the two-dimensional area 30 of the display unit 110. The display mode of the display unit 110 is as shown in FIG. 5(3).

[0041] <Modification> In this embodiment, it is not clearly stated whether or not to display the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items in the two-dimensional area 30 shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 5, but it is better to display the two-dimensional area 30 on the screen in which at least one of the evaluation values ​​of one or more evaluation items is concealed. In this way, the interest of the operator can be increased when the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items are displayed and output as a graph display 40 by the operator specifying a coordinate point. In addition, particularly when there are multiple evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items, if the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items are displayed in the two-dimensional area 30, it may be difficult to grasp the evaluation values ​​for the specified coordinate points, and the coordinates may also be difficult to grasp. However, by concealing the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items on the two-dimensional area 30, the operator can easily grasp the coordinates and easily specify an appropriate position.

[0042] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 5, the evaluation value display process displays the relationship between one or more evaluation items and the evaluation values ​​of one or more evaluation items as a bar graph as a display output, but is not limited to this, and other display formats may be used, such as pie chart display, radar chart display, display of the evaluation value itself (display as a numerical value), display using illustrations or avatars, display using different colors, and, for example, a facial image of the operator is obtained and processed to reflect the evaluation value (simulated facial image), as long as the display format increases the operator's interest in the evaluation value and makes it easy for the operator to grasp the evaluation value. FIG. 7 illustrates a case where an operator's face image is acquired, and then processed to reflect the evaluation value and then displayed.

[0043] FIG. 7(1) is similar to FIG. 5(1), and the operator answers the medical questionnaire to input operator information related to the operator's biological body. At this time, the operator's face may be photographed by a camera provided in the information presentation device 100 and input as the operator information, and the photographed image is displayed in an area (face image display area 60) different from the two-dimensional area 30 as the operator's current face image. FIG. 7(2) is a screen image in which a coordinate point is displayed on the two-dimensional area 30 at the coordinates of a first coordinate value calculated from the operator information, a display output (graph display 40) corresponding to the evaluation value of the evaluation item calculated from the first coordinate value is displayed, and further, the operator's current face image is displayed in the face image display area 60. Note that instead of a face image, an avatar image of the operator may be created from the operator information and displayed. 7(3) is a screen image when the operator moves a coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30 and specifies a second coordinate point. A second coordinate value is calculated from the second coordinate point, and a display output (graph display 40) corresponding to the evaluation value of the evaluation item calculated from the second coordinate value is displayed, and further, a facial image of the operator at the second coordinate value is displayed in the facial image display area 60 from the calculated evaluation value. In this way, by displaying a facial image in addition to the graph display 40, the operator can easily grasp predicted changes in his / her own condition. A method for creating a face image at the second coordinate value will be described. For each evaluation item (in this embodiment, wrinkles, texture, age spots, metabolism, and scales), a table is stored that is previously set as to which part of the face (target part) the effect on the evaluation value of the evaluation item is manifested, and to what extent the effect is manifested (expression level). Specifically, for example, when the evaluation item is wrinkles, the target parts are the eyes, the mouth, and the eyes + mouth, and the expression levels are the depth, length, and number of wrinkles, and when the evaluation item is age spots, the target parts are under the eyes, cheeks, and under the eyes + cheeks, and the expression levels are the color depth, area, and density of the age spots, and a table is stored that is associated with each evaluation value. This table is created in advance from values ​​collected by conducting interviews, skin measurements, and acquiring skin images of multiple subjects. As shown in FIG. 7(2), the current face image is displayed in the face image display area 60. Then, the operator selects which of the evaluation items the operator wishes to know the change in. For example, assume that wrinkles is selected. Then, since the evaluation value in the graph display 40 also changes when the operator moves the coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30, the target part and expression level corresponding to the evaluation value of wrinkles among the five evaluation items are specified using the above table, and the specified target part and expression level are reflected in the face image in the face image display area 60 to create the face image shown in FIG. 7(3). In this way, a facial image based on the evaluation value corresponding to the movement of the coordinate point by the operator can be created, and the operator can grasp the evaluation value of the evaluation item by using the facial image as well as the graph display 40. Note that, in the above explanation, the operator is allowed to select which of the evaluation items he wishes to know the change in, but the expression state according to the evaluation values ​​of all the evaluation items may be reflected in the facial image.

[0044] In this embodiment, the evaluation value is presented using a graph display 40 or a face image display area 60, but in addition to the display output, sound may be added according to the evaluation value (for example, if the evaluation value indicates a good skin condition, a sparkling sound may be output, and if the evaluation value is not good, a message of encouragement or a sound encouraging the user to rest may be output).

[0045] In this embodiment, the operator inputs answers to the medical interview items displayed on the display unit 110, but this is not limiting. For example, answers may be input by voice to medical interview items that are output as voice. Furthermore, operator information may be input by photographing an image of the operator's face and analyzing the image of the face. Furthermore, a medical interview item may be provided in which the physical property values ​​of the operator's face (skin) are measured by a measuring device and the measured values ​​are input. Operator information may be input in any manner.

[0046] In this embodiment, the operator information can be input from the face image of the operator, but similarly, the information of a third party can be obtained by, for example, reading the face image of the third party, calculating coordinate values ​​(referred to as "third party coordinate values") from the read image, and displaying coordinate points (referred to as "third party coordinate points") corresponding to the third party coordinate values ​​in the two-dimensional area 30. At this time, it is preferable that the third party coordinate points are displayed in a different manner (for example, with a different mark) from the operator's coordinate points. Then, an evaluation value based on the third party coordinate values ​​(referred to as "third party evaluation value") is calculated, and the third party evaluation value is displayed in the graph display 40. At this time, it is preferable that the third party evaluation value is displayed in a different manner from the operator's evaluation value, or the display area is different (each evaluation item is divided into the operator and the third party (two bar graphs showing the evaluation value are used)). For example, by setting the third party as a person that the operator would like to be, reading in a facial image of the person that the operator would like to be, and displaying the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items (third-party evaluation values), the operator can understand the differences with his / her own data.Furthermore, by searching for a coordinate point where the evaluation value of the evaluation item, which changes as the operator moves his / her own coordinate point, becomes the same as the third-party evaluation value, the operator can, for example, recognize the difference between his / her own skin condition and the skin condition of the person that he / she would like to be, and can understand how the operator can get closer to the same skin condition as the person that he / she would like to be.

[0047] In this embodiment, the two-dimensional region 30 is displayed in step S220, and the first coordinate point corresponding to the first coordinate value is displayed on the two-dimensional region 30 in step S240, but this is not limited to the above. The process of calculating the first coordinate value of the two-dimensional region 30 in step S230 may be performed first, and the process of displaying the two-dimensional region 30 and the first coordinate point corresponding to the first coordinate value on the two-dimensional region 30 may be performed together at the timing of step S240. In this way, the display region of the two-dimensional region 30 can be adjusted so that the first coordinate value is approximately at the center of the two-dimensional region 30.

[0048] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5(6), the display is controlled so that the designated coordinate point is the center of the two-dimensional area 30, but this is not limited thereto. The two-dimensional area 30 may be scrolled so that the range corresponding to the coordinate values ​​that the operator wishes to display can be displayed. In addition, by widening the display range of the two-dimensional area 30 (widening the ranges of the first and second variables), the operator can grasp the overall view, and by narrowing the display range of the two-dimensional area 30 (narrowing the ranges of the first and second variables), the operator can specify the coordinate points in detail. In this way, it is preferable that the display range of the two-dimensional area 30 can be changed by the operator.

[0049] In the flowchart of FIG. 6, the first variable, the second variable, and the evaluation item are predetermined items, but as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2, the first variable, the second variable, and the evaluation item may be selectable by the operator (step S100 selection process). In particular, since there is a possibility that the evaluation items that the operator wants to know are different depending on the operator, the first variable and the second variable may be predetermined items, and only the evaluation item may be selectable by the operator. Note that the selection process may be performed before step S200 of FIG. 6 or after step S260. In the case after step S260, the first coordinate point corresponding to the first coordinate value calculated from the operator information and the evaluation value of the evaluation item may be displayed as the predetermined first variable (age), second variable (skin condition index), and evaluation item (wrinkles, texture, age spots, metabolism, scales), and then the first variable, second variable, and evaluation item selected by the operator may be displayed again.

[0050] In this embodiment, the central processing unit of the information display device 100 is provided with the two-dimensional area display control unit 130, the first coordinate calculation unit 135, the first coordinate point display control unit 140, the first evaluation value calculation unit 145, the second coordinate value acquisition unit 150, the second evaluation value calculation unit 155, and the evaluation value display control unit 160. However, this is not limited to the above. For example, some of these may be provided in a calculation device or server provided separately from the information display device 100, and calculations may be performed in these devices, and the information display device 100 may acquire the calculation results and display them on the display means. In this way, it is possible to reduce the dependency on the processing performance of a smartphone or personal computer owned by the operator, and it is possible for any operator to use this method.

[0051] In this embodiment, the evaluation data shown in FIG. 3 may be two-dimensional distribution data such as heat map data, contour map data, or a scatter plot, and may not be limited to map data but may be, for example, a lookup table showing the relationship between the first and second variables and the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items. In addition, Figure 3 shows two-dimensional distribution data with age on the first axis and skin metabolic index on the second axis as an example of evaluation data, but the stored evaluation data also includes various combinations of two-dimensional distribution data consisting of a first axis indicating a first variable selectable by the operator and a second axis indicating a second variable selectable by the operator.
