[0027] The configuration of the user terminal 200B is substantially the same as that of the user terminal 200A, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0028] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of user data stored in the server terminal 100. As shown in FIG.

[0029] The user data 1000 shown in FIG. 4 stores various data related to users. In FIG. 4, for convenience of explanation, an example of one user (for example, a user identified by a user ID "10001" corresponding to a user related to the user terminal 200A or 200B) is shown, but information of multiple users can be stored. The various data related to users can include, but are not limited to, basic data related to business users (for example, business name, address, contact information (email address, telephone number), etc.), employee ID, employee's department, age, sex, employee information such as information related to health (medical checkup data, etc.), analysis data (video viewing information for each employee ID (viewed videos, viewing history, viewing time, etc.), action information (reaction history (such as "Like") to videos, purchase history of health equipment introduced in videos, etc.), and survey information (survey results for videos, etc.)), and report data (generated for individual employees, for each department, for each attribute (gender, age), and for each business, overall or for each tag of viewing information analysis results, action information analysis results, survey information analysis results, etc.).

[0030] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of video data stored in the server terminal 100. As shown in FIG.

[0031] The video data 2000 stores various data related to videos that summarize books about how to deal with certain health problems, such as health books. For convenience of explanation, FIG. 5 shows an example of one video (for example, a video identified by "20001"), but multiple video information can be stored. The various data related to the video can include, for example, video content data, video introduction data, etc., video title, scenario data constituting the video scenario (empathy with the problem, mechanism, one action to take starting today), author data, video introduction data, etc., descriptive data, and tag information that categorizes health problems such as diet, exercise, mental health, sleep, etc., and is managed in association with the video data, but is not limited to this.

[0032] <Processing flow> A process flow of a method for supporting health management using videos, which is executed by the system 1 of this embodiment, will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing a process of creating and distributing a video as an example of a health management support method according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] First, as a premise, a user who creates a summary video of a book creates a summary video based on a health book or the like by using a video generation application of the user terminal 200A. Here, the user can also access the server terminal 100 and create and edit the video according to the procedure provided by the server terminal 100. For example, the server terminal 100 presents to the user terminal 200A a form for prompting input of the video title, scenario data (empathy with the problem, mechanism, one action to take starting today), reference page, and author data. The video posting user inputs scenario information such as title information ("If you stop breathing through your mouth, you will look 15 years younger?!"), empathy with the problem ("Did you know that the way you breathe affects the look of your face?"), mechanism ("People who breathe through their mouths do not use their facial muscles and they become relaxed, resulting in a sagging face. Exercising the muscles around the tongue and mouth will lead to a beautiful look"), action ("Let's do the A-I-U-E-O exercise...do 10 sets a day."), and reference page number according to the input scenario, and then shoots a one-minute video according to the input scenario, and edits the shot video based on the above scenario information. In addition, on a specified screen displayed on user terminal A, the user can select and assign tag data (e.g., food, exercise, mental health, sleep, diet, stiff shoulders, etc.) that is related to health issues and can be associated with the video they have created.

[0034] Next, in the process of step SQ101, information receiving unit 131 of control unit 130 of server terminal 100 receives video data from user terminal 200A via communication unit 110. Here, the user selects and posts the created video content on a predetermined user interface screen displayed via an application implemented in business operator terminal 200A, whereby the video data is uploaded from user terminal 200A to server terminal 100. In the process of step SQ102, information processing unit 132 of control unit 130 stores the received video data in video data storage unit 122 of memory unit 120.

[0035] Next, in the process of step SQ103, information receiving unit 131 of control unit 130 of server terminal 100 receives the description data and tag data of the video from user terminal 200A via communication unit 110. In the process of step SQ104, user information processing unit 132 of control unit 130 stores each of the received data in video data storage unit 122 of memory unit 120. Through these processes, the upload process of the video content created by the user is completed in server terminal 100.

[0036] Next, in step SQ105, the information receiving section 131 of the control section 130 of the server terminal 100 receives a request to view video content from the user terminal 200B. The user of the user terminal 200 is an employee of a business such as a company, and includes a user in charge of health management at the business. An employee is a user who watches videos and takes a predetermined action. As a premise, a user in charge of the business who is involved in the above-mentioned health management uses a web browser or application of the user terminal 200B to access the server terminal 100, and inputs basic data about the business (e.g., business name, address, contact information (email address, telephone number), employee information, etc.) via a predetermined form to register a user account. The server terminal 100 assigns a business ID to each business and an employee ID to each employee, and the information processing unit 132 of the control unit 130 stores the received basic information together with these pieces of information in the user data storage unit 121 of the storage unit 120 as user data 1000. An employee user of the business who has acquired a user account can select a desired video content from a video content list and make a viewing request.

[0037] Next, in the process of step SQ106, the information processing unit 132 of the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 transmits the video content requested by the user terminal 200B in the form of stream distribution or the like in response to the video content viewing request from the user terminal 200B. Here, the server terminal 100 can also transmit video distribution via an external video distribution server. In the process of step SQ107, the information processing unit 132 of the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 stores, in the user data storage unit 121 of the memory unit 120, information that the video has been accessed by the user terminal 200B, together with tag information associated with the video, as viewing information.

[0038] Next, in the process of step S108, the information receiving unit 131 of the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 receives an action for the transmitted video content from the user terminal 200B. Here, the action information refers to information about a predetermined action for the video performed by an employee who viewed the video (including, for example, pressing a "Like" button to indicate a high rating for the video, saving the video as a favorite, purchasing a product such as a book or health goods introduced in the video, etc.). In the process of step SQ109, the information processing unit 132 of the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 stores the action information received from the user terminal 200B in the user data storage unit 121 of the storage unit 120. In addition, the server terminal 100 can also conduct a viewing questionnaire for users who viewed the video, and receive and store responses regarding their impressions of viewing the video and actions taken as response information.

[0039] In this way, the server terminal 100 can transmit to the user short videos summarizing books such as health books written by famous authors, and since the videos are categorized by issue, the user can easily access the desired video from among many videos supported by evidence such as the knowledge of famous authors. Furthermore, the videos can encourage "empathy with the issue" for health issues, present a "mechanism" for solving the issue, and present an "action" for putting the solution into practice, thereby encouraging the user to change their behavior to put the issue into practice.

[0040] FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a process of generating an analysis report of video viewing as another example of the health management support method according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] First, in the process of step SQ201, the information receiving unit 131 of the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 receives a request for a video analysis report from the user terminal 200B related to the person in charge of the health management of the business via the communication unit 110. Here, the video analysis includes an analysis of the viewing information of the video, an analysis of the action information on the video, an analysis of the survey results on the video, etc. In addition, the analysis request includes an analysis of an individual employee and / or an analysis request for the entire business, for each department, or for each attribute.

[0042] Next, in the process of step SQ202, the information processing unit 122 of the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 refers to the analysis data stored in the user data 1000 of the storage unit 120 based on an analysis request from a user. As described above, the server terminal 100 refers to the viewing information, action information, and survey information of the analysis data for the entire business, individuals, each department, and each attribute based on an analysis request such as an analysis of video viewing information, an analysis of action information for the video, and an analysis of survey results for the video.

[0043] Next, in the process of step SQ202, the information processing unit 122 of the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 refers to the analysis data stored in the user data 1000 of the storage unit 120 based on an analysis request from a user. As described above, the server terminal 100 refers to the viewing information, action information, and survey information of the analysis data for individual employees, the entire business, each department, and / or each attribute based on an analysis request such as an analysis of video viewing information, an analysis of action information for the video, and an analysis of survey results for the video.

[0044] Next, as the process of step SQ203, the information processing unit 122 of the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 generates an analysis report based on the analysis data referred to, based on the viewing information, action information, questionnaire information, and tag information associated with the analysis data for each employee, the entire company, each department, and / or each attribute. The analysis report may include the number of video views (by person) by task (including the total and ranking), the number of video views (by person) by attribute (gender, age), behavior change analysis by behavior (practicing healthy behavior, purchasing books, participating in seminars, using in-house systems, etc.), behavior change analysis by task (eating, sleeping, drinking, etc.), the number of views for tasks over time (transition of task improvement degree), and the impact of tasks on presenteeism reduction. In addition, the analysis report may present information on videos, books, seminars, etc. that led to behavioral changes of employees of the target business as recommendation information based on the analysis data. The information processing unit 132 of the control unit 130 of the server terminal 100 transmits the generated report to the user terminal 200B.

[0045] As a result, employees involved in health management at a business can use reports based on video analysis data to understand the health issues faced by employees at the business as a whole, by department, or by attribute, and based on the results of an analysis of behavioral change in response to the issues, consider measures to promote health management, such as which issues should be addressed and whether videos should be used.

[0046] As a variation of this embodiment, in order to increase the user's interest in health issues, a summary video on a topic in a non-health domain (e.g., a topic such as a sport like golf or social common sense like manners) can be delivered, and videos and / or books on a topic in the health domain (e.g., "lower back pain" for golf, "posture" for manners, etc.) can be recommended from the non-health domain topic.

[0047] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, they can be embodied in various other forms and can be implemented with various omissions, substitutions, and modifications. These embodiments and modifications, as well as omissions, substitutions, and modifications, are included in the technical scope of the claims and their equivalents. [Explanation of symbols]
