DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, the information processing device, the information processing method, and the information processing program according to the present application (hereinafter, referred to as "embodiments") will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the information processing device, the information processing method, and the information processing program according to the present application are not limited to these embodiments. In addition, each embodiment can be appropriately combined as long as the processing contents are not contradictory. In addition, the same parts in each of the following embodiments are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0011] [1. An example of information processing] First, an example of information processing according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of information processing according to the embodiment.

[0012] 1 has installed thereon a belongings organization app, which is an application program that presents a method for organizing items to be organized to a user U. The terminal device 1 having the belongings organization app installed thereon is an example of an information processing device.

[0013] The belongings sorting app can send and receive information between an item sales intermediary site 2, a used goods purchase site 3, etc. via an API (Application Programming Interface), but it may also send and receive information between an item sales intermediary site 2, a used goods purchase site 3, etc. without using an API.

[0014] The item trading intermediation site 2 is a site that provides an item trading intermediation service, which is one of the online services, and is realized by one or more servers or cloud systems, etc. The item trading intermediation service is a flea market-style electronic commerce service or an auction-style electronic commerce service, etc.

[0015] Flea market-style electronic commerce and auction-style electronic commerce services are CtoC (C2C) electronic commerce services between users U. In flea market-style electronic commerce, the selling user U determines the selling price of an item, and if the buying user agrees to that selling price, the transaction for the item is completed.

[0016] An auction-style electronic commerce service is an electronic commerce service in which a prospective purchaser proposes a price, and a transaction for the item is concluded with the bidder who proposes a price that satisfies predetermined conditions (e.g., the highest bid). A user U of the terminal device 1 can sell an item he or she owns to another user through a flea market-style electronic commerce service or an auction-style electronic commerce service.

[0017] The secondhand goods buying site 3 is a site that provides a secondhand goods buying service, which is one of the online services, and is realized by one or more servers or a cloud system, etc. The secondhand goods buying service is a CtoB (Consumer to Business) electronic commerce service, and by using this service, a user U can have his / her own items bought by a secondhand goods buying company.

[0018] 1, the terminal device 1 acquires user information, which is information about a user U who has items to be organized, by using a function of a belongings organization app (step S1). For example, the terminal device 1 acquires the information about the user U from an external information processing device or an internal storage unit.

[0019] The information of the user U is, for example, information indicating a persona related to organization of the user U. The persona related to organization of the user U is a character image of the user U related to organization, and hereinafter, the persona related to organization may be referred to as an organization persona.

[0020] The types of organizing personas include various types of people such as someone who does not want to put in the effort of organizing the items and is happy to sell the items at a low price, someone who does not want to put in the effort of organizing the items and wants to sell them at a high price, someone who is happy to take the effort of organizing the items but wants to sell them at a high price, and someone who is happy to take the effort and time to organize the items and wants to sell them at a high price, but is not limited to these examples.

[0021] The terminal device 1 can estimate the sorting persona of the user U based on, for example, one or more pieces of information among the attribute information and the behavioral history of the user U. The attribute information of the user U includes, for example, information indicating demographic attributes indicating the gender, age, occupation, place of residence, family structure, etc. of the user U, and information indicating demographic attributes indicating the interests, etc. of the user U.

[0022] User U's behavioral history includes, for example, a purchase history of various items, and the purchase history of the items includes, for example, information indicating the purchase frequency of various items, information indicating the elapsed time since the last purchase of various items, etc.

[0023] For example, the terminal device 1 uses a persona estimation model to estimate a cleaning persona of the user U. The persona estimation model estimates a persona related to cleaning of the user U using one or more pieces of information such as attribute information and behavioral history of the user U as input information.

[0024] The persona estimation model, for example, calculates the score of the persona related to organization of the user U for each type of persona, and estimates the persona type with the highest score or a type with a score equal to or greater than a threshold as the persona related to organization of the user U. The higher the score, the more likely it is to be a persona of the user U. The persona estimation model is generated by learning using learning information including, for each person, one or more pieces of attribute information and behavioral history, and information indicating the type of organization persona.

[0025] The persona estimation model is, for example, a model generated by machine learning, for example, by machine learning using a neural network such as a convolutional neural network, a recurrent neural network, or a deep neural network, but is not limited to such examples.

[0026] For example, the persona estimation model may be generated using machine learning with a learning algorithm such as a gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT), linear regression, or logistic regression instead of a neural network. The persona estimation model may also be a language model, which will be described later.

[0027] Furthermore, the information on the user U may be a persona of the user U instead of or in addition to the persona related to organization of the user U. The persona of the user U is information that represents an image of the user U, and is indicated by, for example, one or more pieces of information among the attribute information and the behavioral history of the user U.

[0028] Next, the terminal device 1 acquires information on items to be organized, which is information on items to be organized, by using a function of the belongings organization application (step S2). For example, the terminal device 1 acquires the information on items to be organized from information input or selected by the user U through the operation of the terminal device 1.

[0029] In step S2, the terminal device 1 receives information on the items to be organized that is input or selected by the user U operating the terminal device 1, for example, and acquires the received information on the items to be organized as information on the items to be organized.

[0030] Furthermore, the terminal device 1 receives, through a function of the belongings organization app, image information that is information on images of items to be organized that are captured by an internal imaging unit through operation of the terminal device 1 by the user U. The terminal device 1 acquires, as organized item information, information on the items to be organized that are identified by accepted image information that is the accepted image information.

[0031] The terminal device 1, for example, transmits the received image information to an external information processing device, causes the external information processing device to extract information on the organized items from the received image information, and acquires the extracted information on the organized items from the external information processing device as organized item information. The external information processing device, for example, has an item identification model that inputs image information as input information and outputs information on the organized items, and extracts the information on the organized items from the received image information using the item identification model.

[0032] The item identification model is a model generated by machine learning, for example, but not limited to, machine learning using a neural network. For example, the item identification model may be generated using machine learning using a learning algorithm such as GBDT, linear regression, or logistic regression instead of a neural network.

[0033] The item identification model is generated using learning information including, for example, image information and item information. In the learning information, the item information is used as a label. The item identification model may be included in a belongings organization app.

[0034] In addition, the terminal device 1 can also send a similar image search request including the received image information to an external image search server, and obtain organized item information from item information on a web page that includes a similar image included in the similar image search results sent from the image search server.

[0035] In step S1, the terminal device 1 can also acquire, for example, from an external information processing device or an internal storage unit, product purchase history information that is information on the product purchase history of the user U, and extract information on the organized products from the acquired product purchase history information. In this case, the terminal device 1 acquires the extracted information on the organized products as organized product information.

[0036] The information on the organized items extracted by the terminal device 1 from the item purchase history information may be all items included in the item purchase history information, or may be the same item that the user U purchased in a predetermined period (e.g., a period of one day or one week). Also, the information on the organized items extracted by the terminal device 1 from the item purchase history information may be the same item that the user U purchased multiple times in a predetermined period.

[0037] The terminal device 1 can also use the organized goods estimation model to extract information on organized goods from the goods purchase history information. The organized goods estimation model receives, for example, user information, information identifying the goods, and information indicating the period of time since the goods were purchased, and outputs a score indicating the likelihood that the goods are organized goods. The higher the likelihood that the goods are organized, the higher the score.

[0038] The terminal device 1 inputs information including, for example, user information, information identifying an item included in the item purchase history information, and information indicating the period of time that has elapsed since the item was purchased into a sorting item estimation model, and determines as a sorting item an item whose score output from the sorting item estimation model is equal to or greater than a threshold value.

[0039] The sorting item estimation model is generated using learning information including, for example, user information, information identifying the item, information indicating the time period since the item was purchased, and information indicating whether the item has become a sorting item. The information indicating whether the item has become a sorting item is label information, and for example, 1 is set if the item has become a sorting item, and 0 is set if not.

[0040] The organizing item estimation model is a model generated by machine learning, for example, but not limited to, machine learning using a neural network. For example, the organizing item estimation model may be generated using machine learning using a learning algorithm such as GBDT, linear regression, or logistic regression instead of a neural network.

[0041] The terminal device 1 can display information on one or more items obtained by an item identification model, a similar image search result, or a sorting item estimation model, etc., as information on one or more candidate items for sorting, and can also obtain information on a candidate item for sorting selected by a user U from the one or more candidate items for sorting as information on the items for sorting.

[0042] Next, the terminal device 1 uses the function of the belongings organizing app to generate organizing method information, which is information indicating the organizing method of the items to be organized indicated by the organizing item information, from the input information including the user information acquired in step S1 and the organizing item information acquired in step S2 (step S3).

[0043] The sorting method determination model is a model that learns the relationship between the item, the owner of the item, and the sorting method of the item. The types of sorting methods of the items include, but are not limited to, sorting using a merchandise buying and selling intermediary service, sorting using a used goods buying service, and sorting using a waste collection service. The waste collection service includes, but is not limited to, waste collection services mainly provided by municipalities and waste collection services mainly provided by businesses.

[0044] In addition, the type of item sorting method may be a type for each item buying and selling intermediation service if there are multiple item buying and selling intermediation services, may be a type for each used item buying service if there are multiple secondhand goods buying services, or may be a type for each waste collection service if there are multiple waste collection services.

[0045] The terminal device 1 inputs the input information including the user information and organizing item information acquired in steps S1 and S2 to the organizing method determination model, and performs a process of acquiring organizing method information output from the organizing method determination model for each organizing item information (for each organizing item). The organizing method determination model is generated using learning information including, for example, item information, item owner information, and information indicating the organizing method of the item for each item.

[0046] For example, the organizing method determination model calculates a score for each type of organizing method for organizing items based on input information including user information and organizing item information acquired in steps S1 and S2, and outputs information indicating the type of organizing method with the highest score that is above a threshold as organizing method information.

[0047] The organizing method determination model can also calculate a score for each type of organizing method for organizing items based on input information including the user information and organizing item information acquired in steps S1 and S2, and output information indicating the organizing methods for the types with scores equal to or greater than a threshold as organizing method information. If there are multiple types with scores equal to or greater than the threshold, organizing method information including information indicating multiple types of organizing methods is output from the organizing method determination model.

[0048] The learning information is, for example, information obtained from a questionnaire about organizing methods filled out by the owner of the item. For example, the information included in the learning information is information collected by having the owner of the item (including user U) answer questions in a questionnaire format about the items they want to organize and the organizing method they want to use, or information obtained from such information.

[0049] The information contained in the learning information may be information obtained based on past history instead of or in addition to the information described above. In this case, the information contained in the learning information may include, for example, information about the owner of the organized item, information identifying the item, and information indicating how the item was organized.

[0050] The organizing method determination model is a model generated by machine learning, for example, but not limited to, machine learning using a neural network. For example, the organizing method determination model may be generated using machine learning using a learning algorithm such as GBDT, linear regression, or logistic regression instead of a neural network.

[0051] The organizing method determination model may be a language model. The language model is, for example, a model such as a transformer that is trained to estimate and output the next token from an input token string. Such a language model is stored in an internal storage unit or an external information processing device, and is created independently by an operator of the information processing device (not shown). It is preferable that the information input to the language model is trained so as not to be used as a new answer, thereby concealing the input information such as personal information.

[0052] In this case, the language model takes as input information, for example, information (instruction information) such as the string "Please tell us the appropriate organizing method when user U, as indicated by the user information below, organizes the items to be organized, as indicated by the organizing item information below.", as well as information including user information and organizing item information, and outputs organizing method information.

[0053] The terminal device 1 can also input information further including information on related items that are the same items or similar items as the organized items in the services corresponding to various organizing methods to the language model as input information, and use the information output from the language model as organizing method information. In this case, the instruction information input to the language model further includes information such as the character string "Please refer to the information on related items" and further includes information on the related items as input information.

[0054] Next, the terminal device 1 presents the organizing method indicated by the organizing method information generated in step S3 to the user U who is the owner of the items to be organized (step S4). For example, the terminal device 1 presents the organizing method indicated by the organizing method information generated in step S3 to the user U by displaying information indicating the organizing method indicated by the organizing method information generated in step S3.

[0055] 1, perfume A, baby tableware H, and washing machine C are shown as items to be organized in terminal device 1, and methods for organizing each item are shown. For example, the method for organizing perfume A is shown to be using a product buying and selling intermediary service, the method for organizing baby tableware H is shown to be using a waste collection service, and the method for organizing washing machine C is shown to be using a secondhand goods buying service.

[0056] In this way, the terminal device 1 acquires organizing item information, which is information on the items to be organized, and user information, which is information on the user who owns the items to be organized, and generates organizing method information, which is information indicating how to organize the items to be organized, from input information including the organizing item information and the user information using a model that has learned the relationship between the items, the owners of the items, and the organizing methods of the items, and presents the organizing method indicated by the generated organizing method information to the owner of the items to be organized. In this way, the terminal device 1, as an information processing device, can improve the convenience of the user U.

[0084] [3.9.1. Acquisition part 30] The acquisition unit 30 acquires various pieces of information. The acquisition unit 30 acquires various pieces of information from the storage unit 17. The acquisition unit 30 acquires a detection result by the sensor unit 16, and causes the storage unit 17 to store the acquired detection result.

[0085] The acquisition unit 30 can receive various information from external information processing devices via the communication unit 10. The acquisition unit 30 causes the storage unit 17 to store the various information received from the external information processing devices including the information processing device 4.

[0086] The acquisition unit 30 also acquires various information from the storage unit 17. For example, the acquisition unit 30 acquires organized item information, which is information on the items to be organized. The acquisition unit 30 acquires the organized item information from information input or selected by the user U operating the operation unit 12, or acquires information on the items to be organized accepted by the acceptance unit 31 as the organized item information.

[0087] The acquisition unit 30 also acquires, as organized item information, information on the organized items identified by received image information, which is image information accepted by the acceptance unit 31. For example, the acquisition unit 30 transmits the received image information to an external information processing device via the communication unit 10, causes the external information processing device to extract information on the organized items from the received image information, and acquires the extracted information on the organized items from the external information processing device via the communication unit 10 as organized item information.

[0088] The external information processing device has, for example, an item specifying model that receives image information as input information and outputs information on the items to be organized, and extracts information on the items to be organized from the received image information using the item specifying model.

[0089] The item identification model is a model generated by machine learning, for example, but not limited to, machine learning using a neural network. For example, the item identification model may be generated using machine learning using a learning algorithm such as GBDT, linear regression, or logistic regression instead of a neural network.

[0090] The item identification model is generated using learning information including, for example, image information and item information. In the learning information, the item information is used as a label. The item identification model may be included in the acquisition unit 30.

[0091] In addition, the acquisition unit 30 can send a similar image search request including received image information to an external image search server via the communication unit 10, and acquire organized item information via the communication unit 10 from information about items on a web page that includes similar images included in the similar image search results sent from the image search server.

[0092] The acquisition unit 30 also acquires, as organized item information, information on the organized items extracted by the extraction unit 33. For example, the acquisition unit 30 acquires item purchase history information, which is information on the purchase history of items by the user U, from an external information processing device or an internal storage unit, and acquires, from the extraction unit 33, information on the organized items extracted by the extraction unit 33 from the acquired item purchase history information, as organized item information.

[0093] The acquisition unit 30 can also acquire information on one or more items obtained by an item identification model, a similar image search result, or a sorted item estimation model, etc., and information on an item selected by a user U from one or more items displayed on the display unit 11 by the presentation unit 35, as information on sorted items.

[0094] The acquisition unit 30 also acquires user information, which is information about the user U who has items to organize. For example, the acquisition unit 30 acquires information indicating the persona of the user U regarding organization estimated by the estimation unit 32 from the estimation unit 32 as the user information. The acquisition unit 30 can also acquire one or more pieces of information of the attribute information and the behavioral history of the user U from the storage unit 17 as the user information.

[0095] [3.9.2. Reception Unit 31] The reception unit 31 receives various inputs and selections. For example, the reception unit 31 receives information on items to be organized that is input or selected by the user U operating the operation unit 12.

[0096] The reception unit 31 also receives image information that is information on an image of the items to be organized. For example, the reception unit 31 receives image information that is information on an image of the items to be organized that is captured by the imaging unit 15 through an operation of the operation unit 12 by the user U.

[0097] Furthermore, the reception unit 31 receives, as an item to be organized, a candidate item to be organized selected by the user U from among one or more candidate items to be organized displayed on the display unit 11.

[0098] [3.9.3. Estimation part 32] The estimation unit 32 can estimate the organizing persona of the user U based on, for example, one or more pieces of information among the attribute information and the behavioral history of the user U. The estimation unit 32 stores information indicating the estimated organizing persona of the user U in the storage unit 17 as information of the user U.

[0099] For example, the estimation unit 32 uses a persona estimation model to estimate the organizing persona of the user U. The persona estimation model estimates the persona of the user U regarding organizing by using one or more pieces of information such as attribute information and behavioral history of the user U as input information.

[0100] The persona estimation model, for example, calculates the score of the persona related to organization of the user U for each type of persona, and estimates the persona type with the highest score or a type with a score equal to or greater than a threshold as the persona related to organization of the user U. The higher the score, the more likely it is to be a persona of the user U. The persona estimation model is generated by learning using learning information including, for each person, one or more pieces of attribute information and behavioral history, and information indicating the type of organization persona.

[0101] The persona estimation model is, for example, a model generated by machine learning, for example, by machine learning using a neural network such as a convolutional neural network, a recurrent neural network, or a deep neural network, but is not limited to such examples.

[0102] For example, the persona estimation model may be generated using machine learning with a learning algorithm such as GBDT, linear regression, or logistic regression instead of a neural network. Also, the persona estimation model may be a language model, which will be described later.

[0103] [3.9.4. Extraction part 33] The extraction unit 33 extracts information on the items to be organized from item purchase history information, which is information on the purchase history of items acquired by the acquisition unit 30.

[0104] The information on the organized items extracted from the item purchase history information by the extraction unit 33 may be all items included in the item purchase history information, or may be the same item that the user U purchased multiple times in a predetermined period (e.g., a period of one day or one week). Also, the information on the organized items extracted from the item purchase history information by the terminal device 1 may be the same item that the user U purchased multiple times in a predetermined period.

[0105] The extraction unit 33 can also extract information on organized items from the item purchase history information using a organized item estimation model. The organized item estimation model receives, for example, user information, information identifying the item, and information indicating the period of time since the item was purchased, and outputs a score indicating the likelihood that the item is an organized item. The higher the likelihood that the item is an organized item, the higher the score.

[0106] The extraction unit 33 inputs information including, for example, user information, information identifying an item included in the item purchase history information, and information indicating the period of time that has elapsed since the item was purchased into a sorting item estimation model, and determines as a sorting item an item whose score output from the sorting item estimation model is equal to or greater than a threshold value.

[0107] The sorting item estimation model is generated using learning information including, for example, user information, information identifying the item, information indicating the time period since the item was purchased, and information indicating whether the item has become a sorting item. The information indicating whether the item has become a sorting item is label information, and for example, 1 is set if the item has become a sorting item, and 0 is set if not.

[0108] The organizing item estimation model is a model generated by machine learning, for example, but not limited to, machine learning using a neural network. For example, the organizing item estimation model may be generated using machine learning using a learning algorithm such as GBDT, linear regression, or logistic regression instead of a neural network.

[0109] [3.9.5. Generation unit 34] The generating unit 34 generates various information. For example, the generating unit 34 generates organizing method information, which is information indicating a method of organizing the organizing items, from input information including the user information and organizing item information acquired by the acquiring unit 30, using a model that has learned the relationship between the items, the owners of the items, and the organizing methods of the items.

[0110] The sorting method determination model is a model that learns the relationship between the item, the owner of the item, and the sorting method of the item. The types of sorting methods of the items include, but are not limited to, sorting using a merchandise buying and selling intermediary service, sorting using a used goods buying service, sorting using a waste collection service, etc.

[0111] In addition, the type of item sorting method may be a type for each item buying and selling intermediation service if there are multiple item buying and selling intermediation services, may be a type for each used item buying service if there are multiple secondhand goods buying services, or may be a type for each waste collection service if there are multiple waste collection services.

[0112] The generating unit 34 inputs the input information including the user information and organized item information acquired by the acquiring unit 30 into the organizing method determination model, and performs a process for the organized item information (for each organized item) to acquire organizing method information output from the organizing method determination model. Such an organizing method determination model is generated using learning information including, for example, information on the item, information on the owner of the item, and information indicating the organizing method of the item for each item.

[0113] Such an organizing method judgment model calculates a score for each type of organizing method for organizing items based on input information including user information and organizing item information acquired by the acquisition unit 30, and outputs information indicating the type of organizing method having the highest score above a threshold as organizing method information.

[0114] The organizing method determination model can also calculate a score for each type of organizing method for organizing items based on input information including user information and organizing item information acquired by the acquisition unit 30, and output information indicating the organizing methods for the types with scores equal to or greater than a threshold as organizing method information. When there are multiple types with scores equal to or greater than the threshold, organizing method information including information indicating multiple types of organizing methods is output from the organizing method determination model.

[0115] The learning information is, for example, information obtained from a questionnaire about organizing methods filled out by the owner of the item. For example, the information included in the learning information is information collected by having the owner of the item (including user U) answer questions in a questionnaire format about the items they want to organize and the organizing method they want to use, or information obtained from such information.

[0116] The information contained in the learning information may be information obtained based on past history instead of or in addition to the information described above. In this case, the information contained in the learning information may include, for example, information about the owner of the organized item, information identifying the item, and information indicating how the item was organized.

[0117] The organizing method determination model is a model generated by machine learning, for example, but not limited to, machine learning using a neural network. For example, the organizing method determination model may be generated using machine learning using a learning algorithm such as GBDT, linear regression, or logistic regression instead of a neural network.

[0118] The organizing method determination model may be a language model. The language model is, for example, a model such as a transformer that is trained to estimate and output the next token from an input token string. Such a language model is stored in an internal storage unit or an external information processing device, and is created independently by the operator of the information processing device 4. It is preferable that the information input to the language model is trained so as not to be used as a new answer, thereby concealing the input information such as personal information.

[0119] In this case, the language model takes as input information, for example, information (instruction information) such as the string "Please tell us the appropriate organizing method when user U, as indicated by the user information below, organizes the items to be organized, as indicated by the organizing item information below.", as well as information including user information and organizing item information, and outputs organizing method information.

[0120] The generation unit 34 can also input information further including information on related items that are the same items or similar items as the organized items in the services corresponding to various organizing methods to the language model as input information, and use the information output from the language model as organizing method information. In this case, the instruction information input to the language model further includes, for example, the character string "Please refer to the information on related items" and further includes information on the related items as input information.

[0121] [3.9.6. Presentation part 35] The presentation unit 35 presents the organizing method indicated by the organizing method information generated by the generation unit 34 to the user U who is the owner of the item to be organized.

[0122] For example, the presentation unit 35 presents to the user U the organizing method indicated in the organizing method information generated by the generation unit 34 by displaying information indicating the organizing method indicated in the organizing method information generated by the generation unit 34 on the display unit 11.

[0123] Furthermore, the presentation unit 35 can display on the display unit 11 information on one or more items obtained by the item identification model, the similar image search result, or the organized item estimation model as information on one or more candidates for organized items.

[0124] 4 is a diagram showing an example of an item organizing proposal screen showing an organizing method for each item to be organized, which is displayed on the terminal device 1 according to the embodiment.

After that, the user U operates the operation unit 12, whereby the image of the item to be organized can be captured by the image capturing unit 15. As a result, the captured image of the item to be organized is received by the reception unit 31.

[0127] The image acquisition button 612 is a button for acquiring image information from the storage unit 17 by the acquisition unit 30. When the user U operates the operation unit 12 to select the image acquisition button 612, the image stored in the storage unit 17 is displayed on the display unit 11. When the user U selects an image of an item to be organized from the images displayed on the display unit 11, the image information, which is information on the selected image, is acquired by the acquisition unit 30.

[0128] The barcode button 613 is a button for starting the imaging unit 15 and reading a barcode attached to an item. When the user U operates the operation unit 12 to select the barcode button 613, the imaging unit 15 is started. After that, the user U operates the operation unit 12, which causes the imaging unit 15 to capture an image of the barcode of the item, and the acquisition unit 30 acquires information about the sorted item from the barcode.

[0129] The purchase history button 614 is a button for acquiring the purchase history of the user U. When the user U operates the operation unit 12 to select the purchase history button 614, the acquisition unit 30 acquires the purchase history of the user U from the storage unit 17 or an external information processing device, etc. The extraction unit 33 extracts information on the items to be organized from the purchase history of the user U.

[0137] 4. Processing Procedure Next, a procedure of information processing by the processing unit 18 of the terminal device 1 according to the embodiment will be described. Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of information processing by the processing unit 18 of the terminal device 1 according to the embodiment.

[0138] 5, the processing unit 18 of the terminal device 1 acquires user information, which is information about the user U (step S10). The processing unit 18 also acquires organized item information, which is information about organized items owned by the user U (step S11).

[0139] Next, the processing unit 18 uses a model that has learned the relationship between items, the owners of the items, and the methods for organizing the items to generate organizing method information, which is information indicating the method for organizing the items to be organized, from input information including the user information acquired in step S10 and the organizing item information acquired in step S11 (step S12).

[0140] Next, the processor 18 presents the organizing method indicated by the organizing method information generated in step S11 to the user U (step S13). When the process of step S13 ends, the processor 18 determines whether or not it is time to end the operation (step S14). The processor 18 determines that it is time to end the operation when, for example, the power supply of the terminal device 1 is turned off.

[0141] If the processing unit 18 determines that the operation end time has not arrived (step S14: No), it transitions to step S10, and if the processing unit 18 determines that the operation end time has arrived (step S14: Yes), it terminates the processing shown in FIG. 5.

[0142] 5. Modifications A part or all of the above-mentioned processing of the terminal device 1 may be performed by an information processing device (not shown). In this case, the information processing device (not shown) has a part or all of the functions of the acquisition unit 30, the reception unit 31, the estimation unit 32, the extraction unit 33, the generation unit 34, and the presentation unit 35.

[0143] The estimation unit 32 can also estimate the persona related to organizing of the user U from input information further including, for example, a detection result by the sensor unit 16. The types of organizing methods may include, for example, in addition to or instead of the above-mentioned types, organizing methods such as offering at a bazaar free of charge, giving to family or acquaintances (free of charge or for a fee), and the like.

[0144] In addition, the generation unit 34 can also generate organizing method information, which is information indicating a method of organizing items, by using, for example, an organizing method determination model corresponding to a combination of season, region, etc., immediately before the generation of the organizing method information, among each combination of season, region, etc.

[0148] The CPU 81 controls output devices such as a display and a printer, and input devices such as a keyboard and a mouse, via the input / output interface 86. The CPU 81 acquires data from the input devices via the input / output interface 86. The CPU 81 also outputs data generated via the input / output interface 86 to the output devices.

[0149] The media interface 87 reads a program or data stored in a recording medium 88 and provides it to the CPU 81 via the RAM 82. The CPU 81 loads the program from the recording medium 88 onto the RAM 82 via the media interface 87 and executes the loaded program. The recording medium 88 is, for example, an optical recording medium such as a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) or a PD (Phase change rewritable Disc), a magneto-optical recording medium such as an MO (Magneto-Optical disk), a tape medium, a magnetic recording medium, or a semiconductor memory.

[0150] For example, when the computer 80 functions as the terminal device 1 according to the embodiment, the CPU 81 of the computer 80 executes a program loaded onto the RAM 82 to realize the function of the processing unit 18. In addition, the data in the storage unit 17 is stored in the HDD 84. The CPU 81 of the computer 80 reads and executes these programs from a recording medium 88, but as another example, these programs may be obtained from another device via the network N.
