DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same or corresponding elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted as necessary for clarity of explanation.

[0011] <Embodiment 1> First, a first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of a terminal device 1 which is an example of an information processing system 1000 according to the first embodiment. The terminal device 1 is a computer that provides information on an exercise menu. For example, the terminal device 1 is a tablet terminal or a smartphone. Furthermore, for example, the terminal device 1 may be a personal computer or another computer capable of input and output.

[0012] The terminal device 1 includes a control unit 11 for controlling the entire system. A communication unit 15, a storage unit 16, an input unit 17, a display unit 18, and an audio output unit 19 are connected to the control unit 11 via a communication bus 10.

[0013] The control unit 11 includes a processor 12, a ROM 13, and a RAM 14. The processor 12 performs various information processing and control according to a program stored in the ROM 13 or the storage unit 16. The ROM 13 is a non-transient storage medium such as a ROM (Read-only memory), and stores in advance various programs or data for the processor 12 to perform various controls or calculations. The RAM 14 is a volatile storage medium such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), and is a storage area for temporarily holding information when the processor 12 is operating. In this RAM 14, an area for performing various processes according to this embodiment can be secured.

[0014] The communication unit 15 is a communication interface for connecting the terminal device 1 to a network between an external electronic device.

[0015] The storage unit 16 is a non-transitory computer-readable medium or a tangible storage medium. By way of example and not limitation, the computer-readable medium or the tangible storage medium may include a ROM, a flash memory, a solid-state drive (SSD) or other memory technology, a CD-ROM, a digital versatile disc (DVD), a Blu-ray (registered trademark) disk or other optical disk storage, a magnetic cassette, a magnetic tape, a magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage device. The storage unit 16 may store various programs or data for the processor 12 to perform various controls or calculations.

[0016] The input unit 17 is an input device that accepts input from a user, such as a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, etc. In the first embodiment, the input unit 17 and the display unit 18 form a touch panel.

[0017] The display unit 18 is a display device that displays the results of information processing by the control unit 11. The display unit 18 may display a screen of a graphical user interface (GUI) that can be operated by a user. For example, the display unit 18 may be a CRT, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or a plasma display. The display unit 18 may be included in the housing of the terminal device 1, or may be attached externally.

[0018] The audio output unit 19 is a speaker that outputs, by voice, the result of the information processing by the control unit 11. The audio output unit 19 may be included in the housing of the terminal device 1, or may be attached externally.

[0019] 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the control unit 11 in the terminal device 1 according to the embodiment 1. The control unit 11 executes a program stored in the ROM 13 or the storage unit 16 to realize the functions of a detection unit 111, a first privilege granting unit 112, and a display control unit 113.

[0020] For example, when the user is about to start exercising, the user touches the display unit 18. The detection unit 111 detects the user's touch on the display unit 18. The user's touch may be a touch with the user's finger, a touch with the back of the hand, or a touch pen.

[0021] The first benefit granting unit 112 grants a first benefit to the user when it detects the user's contact with the display unit 18 under a predetermined condition. The predetermined condition is that the display unit 18 is displaying a first image, which will be described later. In the first embodiment, the granting of the first benefit means giving a mental benefit, such as praise or encouragement, to the user who has attempted to start exercising.

[0022] The display control unit 113 displays a first image showing the current date, that is, today's date, on the display unit 18. The first image may function as a top page. The first image may be a calendar including today's date.

[0023] Furthermore, the display control unit 113 displays the second image on the display unit 18 in response to detecting a touch by the user to the display unit 18 on which the first image is displayed. The second image is an image indicating the granting of a first benefit to the user. For example, the second image includes at least one of a message expressing praise or encouragement to the user and an image expressing praise or encouragement. This makes it possible to explicitly give a mental benefit such as praise or encouragement to a user who is attempting to start exercising at an early stage. Here, the inventor has found, as a result of research, that motivation can be effectively improved by having the user achieve a minimum goal at an early stage. Therefore, the above-mentioned configuration can effectively increase the motivation of the user to exercise.

[0024] Following the display of the second image, the display control unit 113 displays a third image related to one of the exercise menus corresponding to today's date on the display unit 18. The exercise menu corresponding to today's date is composed of one or more exercise menus. The third image may include a video of a predetermined length of time that explains the contents of the exercise menu.

[0025] 3 is a flowchart showing an example of information processing by the terminal device 1 according to the first embodiment. First, the display control unit 113 of the control unit 11 starts displaying a first image showing today's date on the display unit 18 (S10: first display step). Next, the detection unit 111 of the control unit 11 determines whether or not the user's contact with the display unit 18 displaying the first image is detected (S11: detection step). The detection unit 111 repeats the process shown in S11 until the contact is detected. When the detection unit 111 detects the contact (YES in S11), the display control unit 113 ends the display of the first image and displays a second image showing the granting of a first privilege to the user on the display unit 18 (S12: second display step). Next, the display control unit 113 ends the display of the second image and displays a third image related to one of today's exercise menus on the display unit 18 (S13: third display step). At this time, the display control unit 113 may start displaying the third image without requiring a user input operation when a predetermined time has elapsed since the display of the second image was started. Also, when a user input operation is performed, the display control unit 113 may immediately start displaying the third image without waiting for the predetermined time to elapse. Then, the control unit 11 ends the process.

[0026] [effect] The terminal device 1 gives a reward to a user who is about to start exercising by simply touching the display screen. This effectively increases the user's motivation to exercise. As a result, it becomes easier to make exercising a habit.

[0027] After detecting the touch operation, the terminal device 1 transitions to displaying a third image related to the exercise menu after displaying the second image. The time and effort required to start the exercise menu reduces motivation, but the terminal device 1 according to the first embodiment allows the user to immediately start the exercise menu without any time and effort. This prevents the user's motivation to exercise from decreasing, and makes it easier to make exercise a habit.

[0028] In the first embodiment, the first benefit is given by conveying praise or encouragement, but the first benefit may be given by increasing the level or rank set for the user. This also produces the same effect as in the first embodiment. The first benefit may also include giving the user an economic benefit, for example, cash, a discount coupon for a product or service, or points with exchange value. By giving an economic benefit to a user who has attempted to start exercising, the user's motivation to exercise can be increased.

[0029] In the first embodiment, the detection of a touch on the display unit 18 displaying the first image is used as a trigger to grant a bonus by the first bonus granting unit 112 and display the second image by the display control unit 113. Here, the trigger may be a touch on an image area displayed at a predetermined position on the display unit 18, the above-mentioned touch continuing for a predetermined period of time or more, or the detection of a slide operation on the display unit 18. The trigger may also be the success of fingerprint authentication due to the above-mentioned touch. Alternatively, the trigger may include the success of other biometric authentication such as face authentication or iris authentication in addition to the detection of the above-mentioned contact. The trigger may also include the fact that body temperature is within a predetermined range.

[0030] <Embodiment 2> Next, a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. The second embodiment is a specific example of the first embodiment. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the terminal device 1 includes a control unit 11a instead of the control unit 11. The control unit 11a includes a processor 12, a ROM 13, and a RAM 14, similar to the control unit 11 in terms of hardware configuration.

[0031] 4 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of a control unit 11a in the terminal device 1 according to embodiment 2. The control unit 11a includes a setting unit 110, a detection unit 111, a first privilege providing unit 112, a display control unit 113, an audio output control unit 114, and a second privilege providing unit 115.

[0032] The setting unit 110 receives an input of an exercise start time from the user via the input unit 17 (setting step). The setting unit 110 stores in the storage unit 16 the exercise start time received from the user.

[0033] The setting unit 110 may receive various information from the user via the input unit 17, such as the target body part for training, current weight, body fat percentage, and duration of exercise. The setting unit 110 may determine today's exercise menu based on the various information input by the user. The setting unit 110 may also determine today's exercise menu based on the above-mentioned various information and the user's exercise record. The setting unit 110 stores information related to the determined today's exercise menu in the storage unit 16. The today's exercise menu may be determined by the user's personal trainer instead of the setting unit 110.

[0034] The detection unit 111 detects a touch on the display unit 18 by the user, similarly to the detection unit 111 according to the first embodiment.

[0035] The first benefit granting unit 112, like the first benefit granting unit 112 according to the first embodiment, grants a first benefit to the user when it detects the user's touch on the display unit 18 displaying the first image.

[0036] When the first reward granting unit 112 detects the contact, the first reward granting unit 112 may grant the same reward regardless of the number of detections on the same day, or may grant different rewards depending on the number of detections on the same day, i.e., the user's exercise record on the same day. As an example, the first reward granting unit 112 may increase the degree of praise in the message as the number of detections on the same day increases. Furthermore, the first reward granting unit 112 may grant a reward when the contact is detected for the first time on the same day, but may not grant a reward when the contact is detected for the second or subsequent time on the same day.

[0037] The first privilege granting unit 112 may provide a different privilege depending on the number of detections within a predetermined period before today. For example, the number of detections within the predetermined period may be the number of detections in the same month as today. For example, the number of detections within the predetermined period may be the number of detections in the most recent month.

[0038] Furthermore, the first benefit granting unit 112 may grant the first benefit when contact is detected regardless of the type of the first image described below. However, instead of this, the first benefit granting unit 112 may grant the first benefit only while a specific type of first image is being displayed. For example, the specific type of first image is a "first image corresponding to immediately before exercise" described below.

[0039] The display control unit 113 displays a first image showing today's date on the display unit 18. The first image displayed at this time is referred to as a "first image during exercise preparation."

[0040] The display control unit 113 then reads out the set exercise start time from the storage unit 16, and switches the type of the first image in response to the passage of the first time corresponding to the set exercise start time. The first time may be a time a predetermined time before the exercise start time. For example, the first time is one hour, 30 minutes, or 15 minutes before the exercise start time. The first time may also be the exercise start time. As an example, when the time one hour before the set exercise start time has passed, the display control unit 113 changes the "first image during exercise preparation" to the "first image corresponding to immediately before exercise". By switching the type of the first image to be displayed, the user can be made aware that the exercise start time is approaching, and can be encouraged to start exercising.

[0041] Then, the display control unit 113 displays the second image on the display unit 18 in response to detecting a user's contact with the display unit 18 displaying the first image, i.e., in response to the first benefit being granted.

[0042] The display control unit 113 may change the second image to be displayed depending on the content of the benefit given by the first benefit giving unit 112. For example, the display control unit 113 may display the same second image regardless of the number of detections on the same day, or may change the second image depending on the number of detections on the same day. For example, the display control unit 113 may display the second image at the first detection on the same day, but may not display the second image at the second or subsequent detections on the same day. The display control unit 113 may also change the second image depending on the number of detections within a predetermined period prior to today. With such a configuration, the user's motivation to exercise can be effectively increased.

[0043] Furthermore, following the display of the second image, the display control unit 113 successively displays third images related to today's exercise menu on the display unit 18. This can save the user the trouble of performing an operation to move to the next exercise menu.

[0044] Then, when today's exercise menu is completed and the second benefit unit 115 has completed providing the second benefit, the display control unit 113 displays a "first image corresponding to after exercise is completed" of a type different from the "first image during exercise preparation" and the "first image corresponding to immediately before exercise". The end of today's exercise menu may be when the playback of videos related to all exercise menus for today is completed, or when an input to end exercise is received from the user. By clearly indicating that today's exercise menu is completed, a sense of accomplishment can be given to the user. Note that, when today's exercise menu is completed and the second benefit unit 115 has completed providing the second benefit, the display control unit 113 may display the "first image during exercise preparation" or the "first image corresponding to immediately before exercise" again.

[0045] In response to the first benefit being granted, the audio output control unit 114 outputs a message expressing praise or encouragement to the user by voice via the audio output unit 19. The user's motivation to exercise can be increased by voice in addition to the display.

[0046] The second reward section 115 grants a second reward to the user in response to the completion of today's exercise menu. The second reward is to give a mental benefit such as praise or encouragement to the user who has completed the exercise menu. For example, the second reward may be to give at least one of a message expressing praise or encouragement and an image expressing praise or encouragement to the user, which may be different from the first reward. However, instead of or in addition to this, the second reward may be to raise the level or rank set for the user. The second reward may include the provision of an economic benefit such as cash, a discount coupon for a product or service, or points with exchange value. The second reward may be the provision of information useful for making an exercise habit. The second reward section 115 may vary the content of the second reward to be granted depending on the user's exercise performance.

[0047] 5 and 6 are flowcharts showing an example of information processing by the terminal device 1 according to embodiment 2. First, the display control unit 113 starts displaying a "first image during preparation for exercise" according to today's date (S20: first display step).

[0048] 7 is a diagram showing an example of a first image 200 that is a "first image during preparation for exercise." The first image 200 has calendars C1 and C2 including today's date, an image C3 representing preparation for exercise, and information C4 representing an overview of today's main exercise menu. The image C3 representing preparation for exercise may be an image that is determined regardless of today's exercise menu, or may be an image related to today's exercise menu.

[0049] Returning to Fig. 5, the description will be continued. The display control unit 113 judges whether or not one hour has passed since the preset exercise start time (S21). When the display control unit 113 judges that one hour has passed since the preset exercise start time (YES in S21), it switches the display to a "first image corresponding to immediately before exercise", which is one of the types of first images (S22: switching step).

[0050] 8 is a diagram showing an example of a first image 201 that is a "first image corresponding to immediately before exercise." The first image 201 differs from the first image 200 in that it has an image C5 representing during exercise, instead of the image C3 representing preparation for exercise. The image C5 representing during exercise may be an image that is determined regardless of today's exercise menu, or may be an image related to today's exercise menu.

[0051] Returning to FIG. 5, the explanation will be continued. Next, the detection unit 111 judges whether or not the user's contact with the display unit 18 displaying the first image corresponding to immediately before exercise has been detected (S23: detection step). When the detection unit 111 detects the contact (YES in S23), the display control unit 113 ends the display of the first image and displays on the display unit 18 a second image indicating the first benefit given to the user (S24: second display step). At this time, the audio output control unit 114 outputs a message expressing praise or encouragement to the user by voice through the audio output unit 19 (S24: audio output step).

[0052] 9 is a diagram showing an example of the second image 210. The second image 210 has a message C6 expressing praise to the user, "Success!", and an image C7 expressing the praise.

[0053] Returning to FIG. 5, the description will be continued. Next, the display control unit 113 displays on the display unit 18 a third image relating to the selected one of the exercise menus of today stored in the storage unit 16 (S25: third display step). At this time, if the order of the exercise menus of today is specified, the display control unit 113 may select one of the exercise menus based on the order. The display control unit 113 may also randomly select one of the exercise menus of today.

[0054] Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the third image 220. The third image 220 has a video C8 explaining the operation of the exercise menu, an explanatory text C9 of the contents of the exercise menu, and an input area C10 for starting the exercise menu. In response to receiving a start operation or in response to a predetermined time having elapsed since the start of the display of the third image 220, the display control unit 113 transitions to the display of the third image 221 shown in Fig. 11. Note that the input area C10 may be omitted.

[0055] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the third image 221. The third image 221 has a video C11 explaining the operation of the exercise menu, an explanatory text C12 of the contents of the exercise menu, an input area C13 for stopping the video, and an input area C14 for skipping the video. The display control unit 113 plays the video C11 explaining the operation of the exercise menu for a predetermined time. The user practices the exercise menu in accordance with the video. Note that the input areas C13 and C14 may be omitted.

[0056] In addition, the display control unit 113 may display a message asking the user whether to additionally perform the same exercise menu when the playback of the third image related to one exercise menu is completed. When an input to the effect that the user will additionally perform the same exercise menu is received from the user, the display control unit 113 plays at least a part of the third image related to the one exercise menu.

[0057] Returning to FIG. 5, the description will be continued. Next, the display control unit 113 judges whether the exercise menu has ended (S26: end judgment step). The end of the exercise menu may be when the playback of the videos related to all exercise menus in today's exercise menu has been completed, or when the user has performed an operation to end the exercise. The display control unit 113 repeats switching to the display of the third image related to another exercise menu in today's exercise menu in response to the video included in the third image being played for a predetermined time until it is determined that the exercise menu has ended.

[0058] When the display control unit 113 determines that the exercise menu has ended (YES in S26), the second award unit 115 awards the second award to the user (S27: second award award step) as shown in Fig. 6. Then, the display control unit 113 displays a fourth image indicating the award of the second award (S28).

[0059] 12 is a diagram showing an example of the fourth image 230. The fourth image 230 includes a message C15 expressing praise to the user, "Great!", and an image C16 expressing the praise.

[0060] Returning to Fig. 6, the description will continue. Next, the display control unit 113 ends the display of the fourth image and starts displaying "the first image corresponding to the end of exercise" (S29). At this time, the display control unit 113 may end the display of the fourth image and start displaying "the first image corresponding to the end of exercise" in response to receiving an end operation from the user.

[0061] 13 is a diagram showing an example of a first image 202 which is a "first image after exercise". The first image 202 differs from the first image 201 in that it has an image C17 representing the end of exercise instead of the image C5 representing exercising, and has information C18 representing successful exercise instead of the information C4 representing the outline of today's main exercise menu.

[0062] The description will continue by returning to Fig. 6. If the display control unit 113 determines that the date has changed (YES in S30), the process returns to S20.

[0063] [effect] The terminal device 1 according to the second embodiment has the same effects as those of the first embodiment.

[0064] In the second embodiment, the control unit 11 outputs a message expressing praise or encouragement to the user by voice, thereby making it possible to increase the motivation of the user to exercise by the voice as well.

[0065] In the second embodiment, the control unit 11 receives an input of an exercise start time from the user, and switches the type of the first image when a predetermined time corresponding to the exercise start time has elapsed. This allows the user to recognize that the exercise start time is approaching, and encourages the user to start exercising.

[0066] In the second embodiment, after determining that the exercise menu corresponding to today's date is completed, or after receiving an input from the user indicating that the exercise is to be ended, the control unit 11 displays a first image of a type different from the first image before the exercise started. By clearly indicating to the user that today's exercise menu is completed, a sense of accomplishment can be given to the user.

[0067] In the second embodiment, the control unit 11 switches to display a third image related to another exercise menu among the exercise menus corresponding to the current date in response to the video being played for a predetermined time. By automatically displaying the videos one after another, the user can save time and effort in inputting information to move to the next exercise menu.

[0068] <Other embodiments> In the first and second embodiments, the information processing system 1000 is a single terminal device 1, but some or all of the components of the terminal device 1 may be realized by a plurality of information processing devices, circuits, etc. In this case, the plurality of information processing devices, circuits, etc. may be centrally arranged or distributed. For example, the information processing devices, circuits, etc. may be realized as a client-server system, a cloud computing system, etc., in a form in which each is connected via a communication network. In addition, the functions of the terminal device 1 may be provided in a SaaS (Software as a Service) format.
