Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a technique for presenting content to a user. [Background technology]

[0002] In the past, users' addictions to alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and even various applications such as computer games have been a problem. In response to this, approach bias modification, which is a type of cognitive bias modification, has been applied to treat these addictions.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technology in which an object of dependency on which a user is dependent is identified based on the user's content usage, training information is generated to be used for training to avoid the object of dependency, and when a detection unit detects that the user is in an impulsive state, the generated training information is output to the user and operations to avoid the use of the object of dependency are received from the user. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2023-025490 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In this way, conventional technology identifies the dependencies of a user, provides the user with training information generated based on the identified dependencies, and has the user take actions to avoid using the dependencies.

[0006] However, the problem is that the therapeutic effect of the training information provided to each user varies from user to user. That is, for example, for multiple users who show the same addiction, the content of effective training information often varies from user to user. Therefore, there is a strong demand for clarifying the therapeutic effect of the generated training information for each user.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus, a program, and a method capable of determining the effect of treatment on a recipient in content serving as information for treatment. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] According to the present invention, a measurement result acquisition means acquires a measurement result including information on the direction of the reaction from a predetermined measurement means that measures the reaction of the treated person to each content included in a content set including dependent content related to a dependent object on which the treated person is dependent, the dependent content being presented to the treated person by a predetermined presentation means; an effect determining means for determining an effect of the treatment on the treated person in the presented content based on the measurement result; A content determination device is provided, comprising:

[0009] As one embodiment of the content assessment device according to the present invention, it is also preferable that the effectiveness determination means determines the effectiveness of the content based on one or both of the reaction accuracy, which indicates whether the reaction direction related to the measurement result of the presented content matches the reaction direction linked to the content or specified at the time of presentation, and the reaction time it takes for the treated person to react to the presented content.

[0010] In addition, as another embodiment of the content determination device according to the present invention, it is also preferable that the effect determination means determines reaction information from the measurement results, including information regarding whether the reaction of the treated person is to avoid, reduce, eliminate, deny, or ignore the content, or to bring the content closer, increase, retain, affirm, or select the content, and determines the effect based on the reaction information.

[0011] Further, in the embodiment of determining the reaction information, each content in the content set is presented at least once in a session with a cue specifying a direction to avoid, reduce, eliminate, negate, or ignore, and at least once with a cue specifying a direction to bring closer, increase, retain, affirm, or choose; It is also preferable that the effect determination means, when the presented content is dependent content, determines the effect of the presented dependent content to be higher the smaller the reaction time or average reaction time when the treated person reacts to the presented content by avoiding, reducing, eliminating, denying, or ignoring it compared to the reaction time or average reaction time when the treated person reacts to the presented content by bringing it closer to, increasing, keeping, affirming, or selecting it.

[0012] On the other hand, in the case of non-dependent content, which is content that is not dependent content, the effect determination means preferably determines the effect of the presented non-dependent content to be higher the smaller the reaction time or average reaction time when the treated person reacts to the presented content by bringing it closer, increasing it, leaving it, affirming it, or selecting it compared to the reaction time or average reaction time when the treated person reacts to the presented content by avoiding it, reducing it, eliminating it, denying it, or ignoring it.

[0013] and / or, in a given session, the ratio of the number of times the dependent content is presented with cues specifying an avoidance, reduction, elimination, negation, or disregard direction to the number of times the dependent content is presented with cues specifying an approach, increase, retention, affirmation, or selection direction increases from the first session to the next session; and / or It is also preferred that the ratio in a session between the number of times the independent content is presented with cues specifying a direction to bring it closer, increase, leave it, affirm, or choose it, and the number of times the independent content is presented with cues specifying a direction to avoid, reduce, eliminate, negate, or ignore it, increases from the first session to the next as the sessions progress.

[0014] In addition, as yet another embodiment of the content determination device according to the present invention, it is also preferable that the effect determination means generates an update instruction signal including content to delete from the content set the content whose determined effect does not satisfy a specified condition, and outputs the update instruction signal to a means capable of updating the content set.

[0015] Furthermore, in the above embodiment in which an update instruction signal is generated and output, it is also preferable that the effect determination means selects content whose linked effect satisfies a predetermined condition from among the contents stored in the content management means in which the effect has already been determined and the content to which the determined effect is linked is stored, and generates and outputs the update instruction signal including content to add the selected content to the content set in place of the content to be deleted.

[0016] In still another embodiment of the content determination device according to the present invention, the content set includes information on the number of times or the presentation ratio of each of the contents included in the content set, If the effect determined for the dependent content presented in accordance with the presentation count or presentation ratio does not satisfy a specified condition, it is preferable that the effect determination means generates an update instruction signal including content to increase the presentation count or presentation ratio of the dependent content, or content to temporarily reduce the presentation count or presentation ratio of the dependent content and then increase it, and outputs the update instruction signal to a means capable of updating the content set.

[0017] Furthermore, in yet another embodiment of the content determination device according to the present invention, the content set includes information related to a presentation order of each of the contents included therein, If the effect determined for the dependent content presented in accordance with the presentation order does not satisfy a specified condition, it is preferable that the effect determination means generates an update instruction signal including content to change the presentation order of each piece of content to another presentation order other than the presentation order, in which the effect determined for the dependent content already presented in accordance with the other presentation order is known to satisfy the specified condition, and outputs the update instruction signal to a means capable of updating the content set.

[0018] In yet another embodiment of the content determination device according to the present invention, it is preferable that the content determination device further has a content collection means for determining, as dependent content candidates, content whose usage status or difficulty of acquisition meets predetermined conditions among the content acquired from the terminal used by the treated person and / or an external content database, content whose attributes match or correspond to the acquired dependent target information related to the dependent target, content whose attributes match or correspond to the dependent target information determined by content analysis, and / or content whose effect determined from the measurement results of the reaction when presented to the treated person meets predetermined conditions set as corresponding to dependent content, and outputting the dependent content candidate after a predetermined processing or the dependent content candidate as is to a means capable of generating or updating the content set, so as to make the dependent content included in the content set.

[0019] Furthermore, as yet another embodiment of the content determination device according to the present invention, it is also preferable that the content determination device further has a content collection means for determining, as an independent content candidate, content whose usage status or difficulty of acquisition does not satisfy a predetermined condition among the content acquired from the terminal used by the treated person and / or an external content database, content whose attributes do not match or correspond to the acquired dependent target information related to the dependent target, content whose attributes do not match or correspond to the dependent target information determined by content analysis, and / or content whose effect determined from the measurement results of the reaction when presented to the treated person satisfies a predetermined condition set as being independent content, which is content that is not dependent content, and outputting the independent content candidate that has been subjected to a predetermined processing or the independent content candidate as is to a means capable of generating or updating the content set, so as to make the independent content included in the content set.

[0020] In still another embodiment of the content determination device according to the present invention, the measurement result acquisition means acquires a measurement result from a predetermined measurement means that measures a reaction of the treated person when a predetermined presentation means simultaneously presents a dependent content related to a dependency target on which the treated person is dependent, and a non-dependent content that is not the dependent content, It is also preferable that the effect determination means determines reaction information from the measurement results, including information regarding whether the treated person's reaction is to the presented dependent content or non-dependent content, and determines the effect of treatment of the dependent content on the treated person based on the reaction information.

[0021] According to the present invention, there is also provided a method for producing a medicament for a medicament comprising the steps of: a measurement result acquisition means for acquiring a measurement result including information regarding the direction of the reaction from a predetermined measurement means that measures the reaction of the treated person to each content included in a content set including dependent content related to a dependent target on which the treated person is dependent, the content being presented to the treated person by a predetermined presentation means; an effect determining means for determining an effect of the treatment on the treated person in the presented content based on the measurement result; A content determination program that causes a computer to function as a content determination program is provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0025] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0026] [Content Judgment Device] FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing an embodiment of a content determination device according to the present invention.

[0027] The smartphone 1 shown in Fig. 1 is one embodiment of a content determination device according to the present invention. Specifically, in this embodiment, the smartphone 1 presents each piece of content included in a therapeutic (treatment) content set generated to treat addiction to a user (subject to treatment), and determines the effect of the treatment (effect of the treatment) on the user (subject to treatment) in the presented content. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the smartphone 1 generates and updates a therapeutic (treatment) content set dedicated to this user (subject to treatment) based on the determined effect of the treatment (effect of the treatment).

[0028] Here, the therapeutic (treatment) content set includes "dependent content" related to the dependent object on which the user (treatment recipient) is dependent, such as alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and various applications such as computer games. Specifically, when the dependent object is alcohol, the "dependent content" may be, for example, an image of a beer mug filled with beer, or may be audio content related to the sound of pouring beer into a beer mug or environmental sounds in a bar. In the following, the term "image" refers to an image in a broad sense, including moving images, unless otherwise specified.

[0029] In this embodiment, the therapeutic (treatment) content set includes "non-dependent content," which is content that is not "dependent content." Specifically, when the addiction is alcohol, the "non-dependent content" may be, for example, an image of tableware such as a plate served at a restaurant, or may be content related to the sound of carrying tableware or environmental sounds during a meal at church. It is also possible for the therapeutic (treatment) content set to not include this "non-dependent content."

[0030] The smartphone 1 (content determination device) specifically determines the effect of the treatment (effect of the treatment) on the user (subject) as described above. (A) a measurement result acquisition unit (114) that acquires a "response measurement result" (measurement result) including information on the direction of a user's reaction from a predetermined "measurement means" that measures the user's reaction when each content included in the therapeutic (treatment) content set is presented to the user by a predetermined "presentation means"; (B) an effect determination unit (115) that determines the effect of treatment (effect of treatment) on the user (subject) in the presented content (dependent content or non-dependent content) based on the acquired “response measurement result”; It has.

[0031] Here, in this embodiment, the "presentation means" in (A) above is, for example, the content presenting unit 122a and the touch panel display 104, and displays an image as a content to the user (subject). Also, the "presentation means" may be, for example, the content presenting unit 122a and the speaker 106, and presents audio content.

[0032] In addition, in this embodiment, the "measurement means" in (A) above is, for example, the touch panel display 104, the input / output control unit 122, and the reaction measurement unit 113, which accepts an input operation to the touch panel display 104 as a reaction by the user (subject), measures the reaction of the user (subject), and outputs a "response measurement result" (measurement result). In addition, the "measurement means" may be, for example, the microphone 107, the input / output control unit 122, and the reaction measurement unit 113, which measures a reaction related to the voice uttered by the user (subject). The specific contents of the content presentation and reaction measurement described above and various modifications will be described in detail later.

[0033] Furthermore, as described above, the "response measurement results" of (A) and (B) above include information on the direction of the user's (treated person's) response, that is, the direction of this response. This information is in line with the contents of approach bias transformation and attention bias correction, which have been applied to the treatment of addiction in the past. Specifically, approach bias transformation is a method of presenting an object or event related to the addiction object to an addiction patient, and encouraging the patient to respond in a direction of avoidance toward the presented object or event. In addition, attention bias correction is a method of simultaneously presenting an object or event related to the addiction object and an object or event that is not related to the addiction patient, and encouraging the patient to reduce attention to the object or event related to the addiction object. The specific contents of this "response measurement result" (and the response information determined therefrom) and various modification modes will be explained in detail later.

[0034] As described above, the smartphone 1 can determine the effect of treatment (effect of treatment) on the user (subject) in the "dependent content" and / or "independent content" as information for treatment (treatment) based on the acquired "response measurement results."

[0035] The use of the content determination device according to the present invention is not limited to the treatment of addiction as described above. For example, the content determination device according to the present invention may be used for a preference (addiction) tendency reduction treatment when it is required to reduce the tendency of preference (addiction) to a certain thing or event for social or educational reasons.

[0036] [Functional configuration of content judgment device, content judgment program] The functional configuration of the smartphone 1 as an embodiment of the content determination device according to the present invention will be described in more detail below. In the functional block diagram of Fig. 1, the smartphone 1 (content determination device) has a communication interface unit 101, a content storage unit 102, a therapeutic content set storage unit 103, a touch panel display 104, a camera 105, a speaker (SP) 106, a microphone (MC) 107, and a processing unit including an IC (Integrated Circuit) such as a processor and various memories.

[0037] The processing unit has a computer (arithmetic processing) function, and in this embodiment, functions as a content collection unit 111, a content set generation and update unit 112, a response measurement unit 113, a measurement result acquisition unit 114, an effect determination unit 115 including a content update instruction unit 115a, a communication control unit 121, and an input / output control unit 122 including a content presentation unit 122a. These functional components may be realized by executing an embodiment of a content judgment program according to the present invention stored in the processing unit. In addition, at least a part of these functional components may be realized by wired logic. Note that the flow of processing shown by connecting the functional components of the smartphone 1 (content judgment device) in the functional block diagram of FIG. 1 with arrows can also be understood as an embodiment of a content judgment method according to the present invention.

[0038] Here, the content determination device according to the present invention is a smartphone (1) in this embodiment, but is of course not limited thereto. For example, it may be a wearable device such as a head mounted display (HMD), a notebook or tablet computer, a personal computer (PC), a smart speaker, or other terminal, or may be a device dedicated to content determination processing. Furthermore, it may be a cloud server or a non-cloud server, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 5.

[0039] Furthermore, the content assessment device according to the present invention only needs to have at least a measurement result acquisition unit 114 and an effect determination unit 115, and it is also possible to adopt an embodiment in which at least some of the other functional units and functional configuration units are provided outside the device.

[0040] <Method of collecting content> 1 also acquires and collects symptom information of the user (subject) in this embodiment. The symptom information includes information on the addiction target, for example, information that the addiction target is alcohol, and can be information that the user himself or the doctor in charge inputs (declares) into the smartphone 1.

[0041] Furthermore, the content collection unit 111 can, for example, from the content usage history and purchase history recorded in the content storage unit 102, identify computer games whose usage time in a specified period of time by a user exceeds a specified threshold, computer games that the user plays with a usage frequency that exceeds a specified threshold, for example, between 9:00 and 17:00 on weekdays (typical working hours) or between 1:00 and 4:00 (typical bedtime), and even computer games that the user purchased at a purchase price equal to or higher than a specified threshold, and treat information on the type of computer game identified as symptom information.

[0042] Next, in this embodiment, the content collection unit 111 selects the content from the content storage unit 102 of the smartphone 1. (a) Content whose usage or difficulty of acquisition satisfies a predetermined condition, for example, in the case where the object of addiction is a computer game, a computer game whose usage time, usage time zone, or purchase price satisfies the predetermined condition as described above; (b) Content that is associated with attributes that match or correspond to the addiction information. For example, if the addiction is alcohol, content that is tagged with information related to alcohol (for example, advertising information for a bar, information introducing various types of beer, etc.); (c) content that has attributes that match or correspond to addiction information as determined through content analysis, e.g., if the addiction is alcohol, image recognition processing using machine learning has identified image portions of beer mugs, wine glasses, etc.; and / or (d) Content in which the "addiction-reaction time therapeutic effect index" calculated and determined using formula (2) or (2') described later from the measurement results of the reaction when presented to the user satisfies a predetermined condition (e.g., (addiction-reaction time therapeutic effect index)<0) set as corresponding to the reaction to the addictive content before treatment. is determined as a candidate for dependent content.

[0043] Furthermore, the content collection unit 111 outputs the dependent content candidates that have been subjected to a predetermined processing (for example, extraction of a target image portion identified by image recognition processing, removal of the background, and adjustment of brightness and saturation, etc.) or the dependent content candidates as they are to a content set generation / update unit 112 (means capable of generating or updating a content set) to be used as dependent content to be included in the content set.

[0044] The content collection unit 111 may acquire the content that is the basis of the dependent content from an external content database, for example, the content server 3. However, in general, content that is likely to become dependent content is content that the user prefers or selects, and therefore is highly likely to be stored in the content storage unit 102 of the smartphone 1, which is the terminal used by the user. Therefore, for example, when a sufficient number of contents cannot be acquired from the content storage unit 102, it is also preferable to set the content to be acquired from the external content server 3 via the communication interface unit 101 and the communication control unit 121.

[0045] In this embodiment, the content collection unit 111 selects one or both of the contents acquired from the content storage unit 102 of the smartphone 1 and the contents acquired from an external content database, for example, the content server 3. (a) Content whose usage or difficulty of acquisition does not satisfy the specified conditions, for example, in the case where the object of dependence is a computer game, the usage time, usage time zone, or purchase price of the computer game does not satisfy the specified conditions as described above; (b) Content associated with attributes that do not match or correspond to the addiction information, for example, if the addiction is alcohol, content tagged with information unrelated to alcohol (for example, advertising information for a fresh food store, or information introducing various plates, etc.); (c) content that has attributes that are determined by content analysis to be inconsistent or incompatible with the addiction information, e.g., where the addiction is alcohol, image recognition processing using machine learning identifies an image portion, such as a plate, and / or (d) Content in which the "non-dependent reaction time therapeutic effect index" calculated and determined using formula (3) or (3') described later from the measurement results of the reaction when presented to the user satisfies a predetermined condition set as corresponding to the reaction to the non-dependent content before treatment (e.g., (non-dependent reaction time therapeutic effect index)<0). is determined to be a candidate for independent content.

[0046] Furthermore, the content collection unit 111 outputs the independent content candidates that have been subjected to a predetermined processing (for example, extraction of a target image portion identified by image recognition processing, removal of the background, and adjustment of brightness and saturation, etc.) or the independent content candidates as is to a content set generation / update unit 112 (means capable of generating or updating a content set) to be made into independent content to be included in the content set.

[0047] <Content set generation and update methods> Similarly, the content set generation / updating unit 112 shown in the functional block diagram of FIG. 1 generates a therapeutic content set including the dependent content and the independent content received from the content collection unit 111 in this embodiment, and causes the therapeutic content set storage unit 103 to store and manage it. Specifically, the content set generation / updating unit 112 may select a preset number of dependent content and independent content (for example, randomly at first) from the content received from the content collection unit 111, and configure a therapeutic content set with these selected content.

[0048] Here, the generated therapeutic content set includes presentation order information regarding the presentation order of each content included therein in this embodiment. Specifically, the presentation order information is, for example, presenting the dependent content D_001 first, presenting the independent content ND_001 second, presenting the dependent content D_002 third, presenting the independent content ND_002 fourth, ···, presenting the dependent content D_(n / 2) at the (n - 1)th, presenting the independent content ND_(n / 2) at the nth, ···, presenting the dependent content D_(N / 2) at the (N - 1)th, presenting the independent content ND_(N / 2) at the Nth (where n is an even number satisfying n < N, and N is a number that is twice the total number of dependent content and twice the total number of independent content), and then, for example, the information indicating that the presentation set from the first to the Nth described above is repeated 2 more times (that is, the described presentation times become 3N times) can be used.

[0049] The therapeutic content set of this embodiment, which includes such presentation order information, can also be considered to include information related to the number of presentations or the presentation ratio of each of the contents included therein. For example, in the above specific example, when N is 100 and the total number of presentations is 300 (=3N), it can be seen that the number of presentations of each of the dependent contents D001 to D050 is 3 times (presentation ratio is 1%), and the number of presentations of each of the independent contents ND001 to DN050 is also 3 times (presentation ratio is 1%). Of course, the therapeutic content set may include the value of the number of presentations or the presentation ratio of each of the contents themselves.

[0050] <Content presentation method> In this embodiment, the content presenting unit 122a of the input / output control unit 122 also shown in the functional block diagram of Fig. 1 reads out a therapeutic content set whose use has been preset or specified from the therapeutic content set storage unit 103, and displays each content included in this therapeutic content set on the touch panel display 104 (if the content is image content) or outputs it as sound from the speaker 106 (if the content is audio content) according to presentation order information also included in this therapeutic content set. Here, in this embodiment, the content presenting unit 122a performs such content presentation when, for example, a command operation to start content presentation (addiction treatment) by the user is received via the touch panel display 104.

[0051] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram for explaining a specific example of the content presentation process by the content presentation unit 122a.

[0052] 2, the addiction is alcohol, and the addiction content and the non-addiction content are respectively an addiction image Add, which is an image of a beer mug filled with beer, and a non-addiction image Neu, which is an image of a plate (dish), which constitute a therapeutic content set. Furthermore, each of the addiction image Add and the non-addiction image Neu is displayed (presented) on the touch panel display 104 (FIG. 1).

[0053] In this example, each content included in the therapeutic content set (dependent target image Add, non-dependent target image Neu) is (a) presented at least once in conjunction with a cue specifying the direction to avoid, reduce, eliminate, deny, or ignore; and (b) be presented at least once in conjunction with a cue specifying the "closer, increase, leave, affirm, or select direction";

[0054] Here, in this specific example, the cue (a) may be, for example, displaying text such as "keep away" near the dependent target image Add_avoid or the non-dependent target image Neu_avoid that is displayed. Also, it may be outputting a voice such as "keep away" from the speaker 106 (FIG. 1). Furthermore, it may be bordering the dependent target image Add_avoid or the non-dependent target image Neu_avoid that is displayed with a color that is preset as a color that indicates avoidance, such as a darker color. Also, in this specific example, the cue (b) may be, for example, displaying text such as "keep closer" near the dependent target image Add_approach or the non-dependent target image Neu_approach that is displayed. Also, it may be outputting a voice such as "keep closer" from the speaker 106 (FIG. 1). Furthermore, it may be bordering the dependent target image Add_approach or the non-dependent target image Neu_approach that is displayed with a color that is preset as a color that indicates approach, such as a lighter color.

[0055] Incidentally, unlike this specific example, when the dependent content or the independent content is audio content, the cue (a) above may be outputting a sound, such as "keep away," immediately before or after the dependent content or the independent content is output as audio from the speaker 106 (FIG. 1). The cue (b) above may be outputting a sound, such as "keep closer," immediately before or after the dependent content or the independent content is output as audio from the speaker 106 (FIG. 1).

[0056] 2, in <Session 1> in the display (presentation) of the therapeutic content set according to this specific example, each content is displayed (presented) one by one at a predetermined time interval (e.g., 5-second intervals). Specifically, Add_avoid is displayed first, then Neu_approach is displayed, then Add_approach is displayed, then Neu_avoid is displayed, and then these four displays are repeated four more times (i.e., Add_avoid, Neu_approach, Add_approach, and Neu_avoid are each displayed a total of five times).

[0057] Here, in Session 1, (a) The ratio of the number of times the dependent image Add is displayed to the number of times the independent image Neu is displayed is 50:50. (b) The ratio of the number of impressions between Add_avoid and Add_approach is also 50:50. (c) The ratio of the number of times Neu_approach and Neu_avoid are displayed is also set to 50:50. That is, in <Session 1>, all of the image contents (Add_avoid, Neu_approach, Add_approach, Neu_avoid) are displayed with the same number of times (display ratio).

[0058] Next, in this specific example, in the dependent image Add, - The number of times the cue is displayed (presented) along with the direction of avoidance, reduction, elimination, denial, or ignorance; The number of times the cue is displayed (presented) along with the direction of "closer, more, remaining, affirming, or choosing" and The ratio of each session is set to increase from the first session (session 1) as the sessions progress. The number of times the cue was displayed (presented) along with the "cue to move closer, increase, leave, affirm, or specify the direction of selection" and - The number of times that a cue specifying the direction to avoid, reduce, eliminate, deny, or ignore is displayed (presented) The ratio of in a single session is also set to increase from the first session (session 1) as the sessions progress.

[0059] For example, in <Session 10> of this specific example, (a) The display frequency ratio of the dependent target image Add to the non-dependent target image Neu is 50:50, which is the same as the display frequency ratio in sessions 1 to 9. (b) The impression ratio between Add_avoid and Add_approach reaches 90:10 (the impression ratio value increases from 1 in session 1 to 9), and (c) The impression ratio of Neu_approach to Neu_avoid also reaches 90:10 (the impression ratio value increases from 1 in session 1 to 9).

[0060] This is to increase the chances of the user reacting in the direction of "avoiding, reducing, eliminating, denying, or ignoring" as the dependent object image Add should be aimed at as the session progresses, and to increase the accuracy of the (average) avoidance reaction time, which is the basis for determining the therapeutic effect of the dependent object image Add. Also, for the non-dependent object image Neu, it is to increase the chances of the user reacting in the direction of "bringing closer, increasing, leaving, affirming, or selecting" as the session progresses, and to increase the accuracy of the (average) approach reaction time, which is the basis for determining the therapeutic effect of the non-dependent object image Neu.

[0061] Although one specific example of the presentation (display) of the therapeutic content set has been described above, the method of presenting (displaying) the therapeutic content set is not limited to the above description. For example, the display frequency ratio of the dependent target image Add and the non-dependent target image Neu may be set to, for example, 70:30, and the display frequency (display ratio) of the dependent target image Add may be increased. Also, only one of the display frequency ratio of Add_avoid to Add_approach and the display frequency ratio of Neu_approach to Neu_avoid may be changed as the sessions progress from the first session (session 1). Furthermore, it is also possible to keep these display frequency ratios constant throughout all sessions. Also, the therapeutic content set may include a plurality of dependent target images different from each other and a plurality of non-dependent target images different from each other, and each of these images may be set to be displayed a predetermined number of times (display ratio) that has been set.

[0062] Furthermore, the presentation interval of each content included in the therapeutic content set may be gradually decreased as the session progresses from the first session. This makes it possible to save the presentation time of the therapeutic content set when the user becomes accustomed to the treatment (content presentation), or to increase the number of contents presented in a given time, thereby obtaining more user reaction results. In addition, in the presentation (display) of this therapeutic content set, it is also possible to cancel the display (presentation) of Add_approach and Neu_avoid, and display (present) only Add_avoid and Neu_approach.

[0063] <Method of reaction measurement> Returning to the functional block diagram of Figure 1, in this embodiment, the response measurement unit 113 measures the user's response to each piece of content presented to the user (by the content presentation unit 122a) and outputs the measurement result of this response (response measurement result) to the measurement result acquisition unit 114.

[0064] Specifically, when the content is an image content, the reaction measurement unit 113 (a) On the touch panel display 104, together with the content, a first icon button indicating "the direction of avoiding, reducing, eliminating, denying, or ignoring" and a second icon button indicating "the direction of bringing closer, increasing, keeping, affirming, or selecting" are displayed, and information on the icon button tapped by a user who views the content display is received. Furthermore, the time when the content is displayed and the time when the icon button is tapped are received, and the time (time) from when the content is displayed to when it is tapped (reaction time) is measured and determined.

[0065] Here, the first and second icon buttons can be, for example, a "non-select (or ignore)" button and a "select" button, a "button to erase (or reduce) the display" and a "button to leave (or enlarge) the display", or a "button showing a cross sign meaning negation (or avoidance)" and a "button showing a circle sign meaning affirmation (or approach)", and may be set so that the display of the image content becomes lighter, disappears, or moves away, or becomes darker, remains, or approaches by actually tapping. Note that such a method of displaying the first and second icon buttons and having the user tap them can also be applied to an embodiment in which audio content is output from the speaker 106. In this case, the first and second icon buttons can also be a "button to decrease (or set to zero) the volume" and a "button to increase the volume", and may be set so that the volume of the audio content actually changes by tapping.

[0066] Furthermore, when the content is an image content, the reaction measurement unit 113 (b) Information may be received as to whether the user has flicked the content displayed on touch panel display 104 upward on the screen (in a direction to move the content away or to shrink it) or downward on the screen (in a direction to move the content closer or to enlarge it), and further the time (time) when the content is displayed and the time (time) when the content is flicked may be received, and the time (reaction time) from when the content is displayed to when it is flicked may be measured and determined.

[0067] Furthermore, when the content is an audio content, the reaction measurement unit 113 (c) When audio content is output from speaker 106, information on the voice uttered by the user (voice input through microphone 107) is received and, through voice analysis, it is determined whether this voice means, for example, "no (negative)" or "yes (affirmative)".Furthermore, the time (time) when the audio content is output and the time (time) when the user utters the voice are received and the time (time) from when the output is made to when the voice is uttered (reaction time) may be measured and determined. Note that this method of using the user's voice as a reaction can also be applied to an embodiment in which image content is displayed on the touch panel display 104.

[0068] In addition, when the content is image content, the reaction measurement unit 113 receives the user's facial image information generated by the camera 105, measures the user's gaze (or facial direction) toward the content displayed on the touch panel display 104, and determines the direction of change in the gaze (facial direction) (either away from the displayed content or toward the displayed content), and may also determine the time (reaction time) from when the content is displayed until the gaze (facial direction) starts to move away or closer.

[0069] <Measurement result acquisition means> In this embodiment, the measurement result acquisition unit 114, also shown in the functional block diagram of FIG. 1, acquires the reaction measurement result from the reaction measurement unit 113, links this reaction measurement result to the ID (identifier) ​​of the content presented during the reaction measurement, and outputs the reaction measurement result linked to the ID to the effect determination unit 115. Here, in this embodiment, the acquired reaction measurement result includes information related to the direction of the reaction and information related to the reaction time. In addition, in this embodiment, the ID of the linked content includes information related to whether the content is dependent content or independent content, and further information related to whether the content is presented with a cue in a "direction of avoidance, etc." or a cue in a "direction of closer, etc."

[0070] <Means for determining effectiveness> In this embodiment, the effect determining unit 115, which is also shown in the functional block diagram of FIG. 1, determines from the received reaction measurement results: (a) information regarding whether the presented content is dependent or non-dependent content; (b) information regarding whether a "move away" cue or a "closer" cue was presented with the presented content; (c) information regarding whether the user's response was to "avoid, reduce, eliminate, reject, or ignore" the presented content, or to "bring closer, increase, retain, accept, or select" the presented content; and (d) Information regarding the user's reaction time to presented content Next, the effect determining unit 115 determines "response information" based on the determined information (a) to (d), and determines the therapeutic effect (effect related to treatment) of the presented content on the user based on this "response information."

[0071] Specifically, the effect determining unit 115 uses the determined information (a) to (d) to (a) "Response accuracy," which indicates whether the direction of a response to the presented content matches the direction of a response specified by a cue at the time of presentation; (a) The "avoidance reaction time" from when the content is presented until the user reacts to the content by "avoiding, reducing, eliminating, denying, or ignoring" it; and (c) "Approach reaction time" is the time it takes for a user to react to a piece of content by "bringing it closer, increasing it, leaving it, affirming it, or choosing it." In this embodiment, at least one of the above items is determined to be “reaction information”. Here, as a modification, instead of the above item (A) “reaction accuracy”, (a) "Response accuracy" indicates whether the response direction to the presented content matches the response direction associated with that content. It is also possible to adopt the above (A') "response accuracy" becomes a suitable response accuracy when, for example, the dependent content and the non-dependent content are linked to the responses of "avoidance direction, etc." and "closer direction, etc.", respectively, and are presented together with the cue of "avoidance direction, etc." and the cue of "closer direction, etc.", respectively, or when no new is presented.

[0072] Here, in the case where one content to be the subject of effectiveness judgment is presented multiple times, for example as in the specific example of Fig. 2, the "response accuracy" in (A) above can be the ratio of the number of times the direction of the response matches among the multiple times the content is presented, that is, (number of matches) / (number of presentations) x 100(%). Also, the "avoidance reaction time" in (B) above and the "approach reaction time" in (C) above can be the average value of the reaction times measured in each presentation.

[0073] Next, the effect determining unit 115 calculates the following formula from the above values ​​(a) to (c) (response information) in this embodiment: (1) (Accuracy Treatment Index) = (Response accuracy expressed as a percentage (%)) (2) (Dependence-Reaction Time Treatment Efficacy Index) = (approach reaction time in milliseconds (msec)) - (Evasion reaction time in milliseconds (msec)) (3) (Independence-Reaction Time Treatment Effect Index) = (avoidance reaction time in milliseconds (msec)) - (Approach reaction time in milliseconds (msec)) The “accuracy treatment effect index”, “dependent-reaction time treatment effect index”, and “independent-reaction time treatment effect index” are calculated and determined as the treatment effects of the presented content.

[0074] Here, the larger the "accuracy treatment effect index" (the closer to 100), the higher the treatment effect of the presented content. Also, the "dependent-reaction time treatment effect index" and the "independent-reaction time treatment effect index" are indexes when the presented content is dependent content and independent content, respectively, and the larger the value (the larger the absolute positive value), the higher the treatment effect of the presented content.

[0075] For example, when the presented content is a "dependent content" in which a patient has been encouraged to make a reaction in the "direction of avoidance, etc." in treatment, the more quickly the reaction in the "direction of avoidance, etc." is made compared to the reaction in the "direction of moving closer, etc.", that is, the shorter the avoidance reaction time is compared to the approach reaction time and the larger the "dependent-reaction time treatment effect index" is, the higher the therapeutic effect of the presented dependent content can be determined. On the other hand, when the presented content is a "non-dependent content," the more quickly the reaction in the "direction of moving closer, etc." is made compared to the reaction in the "direction of avoidance, etc.", that is, the shorter the approach reaction time is compared to the avoidance reaction time and the larger the "non-dependent-reaction time treatment effect index" is, the higher the therapeutic effect of the presented non-dependent content can be determined.

[0076] Incidentally, the (dependent-reaction time therapeutic effect index) in the above formula (2) may be, for example, a ratio value between (approach reaction time expressed in milliseconds (msec)) and (avoidance reaction time expressed in milliseconds (msec)). In this case, the "dependent-reaction time therapeutic effect index" is a positive value, and the greater the value is beyond 1, the greater the therapeutic effect of the presented dependent content. Also, the (non-dependent-reaction time therapeutic effect index) in the above formula (3) may be, for example, a ratio value between (avoidance reaction time expressed in milliseconds (msec)) and (approach reaction time expressed in milliseconds (msec)). In this case as well, the "non-dependent-reaction time therapeutic effect index" is a positive value, and the greater the value is beyond 1, the greater the therapeutic effect of the presented non-dependent content.

[0077] In addition, as a simpler modification in the therapeutic effect index determination process, only cues in the direction of "avoiding, reducing, eliminating, denying, or ignoring" are presented for dependent content, while only cues in the direction of "bringing closer, increasing, leaving, affirming, or selecting" are presented for non-dependent content. (2') (dependence-reaction time therapeutic effect index) =100 / (avoidance reaction time in milliseconds (msec)) (3') (Independence-Response Time Therapeutic Efficacy Index) = 100 / (approach reaction time in milliseconds (msec)) It is also possible to calculate and determine the "dependent-reaction time therapeutic effect index" and the "independent-reaction time therapeutic effect index" as the effects of the presented content.

[0078] FIG. 3 is a table for explaining a specific example of the effect determination process performed by the effect determination unit 115. As shown in FIG.

[0079] In this specific example, each image content included in the therapeutic content set, including dependent target image 1, non-dependent target image 2, dependent target image 3, non-dependent target image 4, dependent target image 5, ... is displayed (presented) to the user who is the subject of treatment multiple times along with a cue of "avoidance direction, etc.", and further displayed (presented) multiple times along with a cue of "closer direction, etc.", and the user's reaction for each display (presentation) is measured, and the reaction accuracy, avoidance reaction time, and approach reaction time for each displayed (presented) image content are determined, as shown in the table in Figure 3.

[0080] 3, the "accuracy therapeutic effect index" of the (non-)dependent target images 1 to 5 is equal to the reaction accuracy, and is therefore determined to be 90, 95, 95, 80, and 30, respectively. Also, the "(non-)dependent-reaction time therapeutic effect index" of the (non-)dependent target images 1 to 5 is determined to be 0, 0, -500, 0, and 0, respectively, using the above formulas (1) and (2).

[0081] Of these, the "accuracy therapeutic effect index" of dependent image 5 in particular is 30, which is significantly smaller than the others. Also, the "dependence-reaction time therapeutic effect index" of dependent image 3 is -500, which is also significantly smaller than the others. Therefore, it can be seen that, among the (non-) dependent image 1-5, dependent image 3 and dependent image 5 are image contents with lower (inferior) therapeutic effects.

[0082] Returning to FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the content update instruction unit 115a of the effect determination unit 115 is (a) An update instruction signal including instructions to delete from the therapeutic content set any content whose determined therapeutic effect (such as the accuracy therapeutic effect index or the (non-)dependent reaction time therapeutic effect index) does not satisfy the “predetermined condition” and outputs this update instruction signal to a means capable of updating the therapeutic content set, that is, the content set generating / updating unit 112 in this embodiment.

[0083] Furthermore, the content update instruction unit 115a (b) A content management means (in this embodiment, the therapeutic content set storage unit 103) that has already determined the therapeutic effect (the accuracy therapeutic effect index or the (non-)dependent reaction time therapeutic effect index) stores the content associated with the determined therapeutic effect, and selects content whose associated effect satisfies the "predetermined condition" from among the contents stored therein, and sends an update instruction signal including instructions to add the selected content to the therapeutic content set in place of the content to be deleted in (a) above. It is also preferable to generate and output

[0084] In addition, the "predetermined condition" in (a) above may be, for example, (4) (Accuracy Treatment Effect Index) ≥ 75 and ((Non-)Dependent Reaction Time Treatment Effect Index) ≥ 0 In addition, the "predetermined condition" in (b) above can be, for example, (5) (Accuracy Treatment Effect Index) ≥ 80 and ((Non-)Dependent Reaction Time Treatment Effect Index) ≥ 50 It is also possible to adopt the above formula (4) and formula (5) as the same formula (same conditions). In addition, in the above formula (4) or (5), it is also possible to adopt a condition (formula) relating to only one of the (accuracy therapeutic effect index) and ((independent)-reaction time therapeutic effect index).

[0085] For example, in the specific example of Fig. 3 described above, the dependency target image 3 (Fig. 3) has an "dependence-reaction time therapeutic effect index" of -500, which does not satisfy the predetermined condition of formula (4) above. Therefore, the content update instruction unit 115a outputs an update instruction signal to the content set generating and updating unit 112 to delete the dependency target image 3 from the therapeutic content set of the specific example of Fig. 3. Upon receiving this update instruction signal, the content set generating and updating unit 112 performs a process of deleting the dependency target image 3 from this therapeutic content set.

[0086] Furthermore, the content update instruction unit 115a may search the therapeutic content set storage unit 103 for a dependency target image α whose linked therapeutic effect satisfies the predetermined condition of the above formula (5), and output an update instruction signal to add the dependency target image α in place of the dependency target image 3 (FIG. 3) to the content set generating and updating unit 112. Upon receiving this update instruction signal, the content set generating and updating unit 112 performs a process of replacing the dependency target image 3 with the dependency target image α in the therapeutic content set of FIG. 3.

[0087] 3, the reliance target image 5 (FIG. 3) has an "accuracy therapeutic effect index" of 30, which does not satisfy the predetermined condition in formula (4) above. Therefore, the content update instruction unit 115a outputs an update instruction signal to delete the reliance target image 5, and the content set generation / update unit 112, which receives this signal, performs a process of deleting the reliance target image 5 from the therapeutic content set in FIG. 3.

[0088] Furthermore, the content update instruction unit 115a may search the therapeutic content set storage unit 103 for a dependency target image β whose linked therapeutic effect satisfies the predetermined condition of the above formula (5), and output an update instruction signal to add the dependency target image β instead of the dependency target image 5 (FIG. 3). Upon receiving this signal, the content set generating / updating unit 112 performs a process of replacing the dependency target image 5 with the dependency target image β in the therapeutic content set of FIG. 3.

[0089] From the viewpoint of generating and updating a therapeutic content set dedicated to a user, it is also preferable that the therapeutic effect linked to the above-mentioned dependency target image α and dependency target image β is a therapeutic effect for the user of this smartphone 1. However, as a modification, it is also possible to set it as a therapeutic effect for another user having the same addiction. In this case, the dependency target image α and dependency target image β can be image content received from another smartphone 1′ (the therapeutic content set storage unit 103′) owned by this other user. In this way, it is also preferable to widely seek replacement target content from outside.

[0090] In addition, when the therapeutic effect determined for the dependent content presented in accordance with the presentation frequency or presentation ratio set in the therapeutic content set does not satisfy the predetermined condition of, for example, the above formula (4), the content update instruction unit 115a: (a) increasing the frequency or proportion of presentation of the dependent content; or (b) The number or percentage of times the dependent content is presented is first reduced, and then increased. It is also preferable to generate and output an update instruction signal including the following:

[0091] Upon receiving such an update instruction signal, the content set generating / updating unit 112 changes the number of presentations or the presentation ratio of the dependent content set in the therapeutic content set, for example by increasing the number of presentations or the presentation ratio of the dependent content by the "increment" instructed by the update instruction signal (or by decreasing it by a predetermined amount and then increasing it), thereby updating the number of presentations or the presentation ratio of the therapeutic content set. This allows the dependent content to be presented more frequently to the user, making it possible to carry out more training to make a quicker reaction in the "direction of avoidance, etc."

[0092] Furthermore, when the therapeutic effect determined for the dependent content presented according to the presentation order set in the therapeutic content set does not satisfy the predetermined condition of, for example, formula (4), the content update instruction unit 115a preferably generates and outputs an update instruction signal including a content for changing the presentation order of each content to a "different presentation order" from the presentation order. Here, the "different presentation order" is a presentation order in which it is known that the therapeutic effect determined for the dependent content already presented according to the different presentation order satisfies the predetermined condition of, for example, formula (4) (or formula (5)). In addition, the therapeutic content set may be set to record the (determined) therapeutic effect of each content by each presentation order in association with it.

[0093] The content set generating / updating unit 112 that has received such an update instruction signal can set the instructed "different presentation order" among the multiple recorded presentation orders for the therapeutic content set as the presentation order to be actually implemented. Alternatively, the content set generating / updating unit 112 can set the presentation order in which the therapeutic effect determined for the presented dependent content during a predetermined period of time satisfies the predetermined condition, for example, the above formula (4) (or the above formula (5)), and is the greatest among the recorded presentation orders as the presentation order to be actually implemented.

[0094] The therapeutic effect determination process by the effect determination unit 115 (and the content update instruction unit 115a therein) and the therapeutic content set generation / update process have been described above. In this embodiment, the therapeutic effect determined here is personal information for a specific person to be treated (the user of the smartphone 1). In addition, in this embodiment, the therapeutic content set generated / updated based on this determined therapeutic effect is also a personal set dedicated to this specific person to be treated (the user of the smartphone 1). In this way, the smartphone 1 of this embodiment can generate / update a personal content set dedicated to the user, which is expected to have a higher therapeutic effect for that user.

[0095] In addition, information on the determined therapeutic effect and the generated / updated therapeutic content set may be displayed on the touch panel display 104, for example, via the input / output control unit 122, or may be linked to the user's identifier (ID) and transmitted to an external information processing device via the communication control unit 121 and the communication interface unit 101, and managed and used therein.

[0096] [Content Judgment Method] 4 is a flow chart showing an outline of an embodiment of a content determination method according to the present invention. Note that the content determination method of this embodiment also includes a method of updating a therapeutic content set.

[0097] (S101) First, symptom information of the person being treated is acquired. Here, the symptom information may be information on a reported symptom or information on an application downloaded to the smartphone 1, such as a computer game, that satisfies a predetermined condition. (S102) Content related to the symptom information is collected, and dependent content is generated. (S103) A therapeutic content set is generated using the generated dependent content. Here, independent content is also prepared separately, and the therapeutic content set is generated by including the independent content.

[0098] (S104) Using the generated therapeutic content set, therapeutic training (presentation of each content) is carried out. Here, the response of the patient to each of the presented contents is measured. (S105) Based on the reaction measurement results for each presented content, reaction information for that content (in this embodiment, reaction accuracy, avoidance / approach reaction time) is determined, and further based on this reaction information, the therapeutic effect of that content (in this embodiment, accuracy therapeutic effect index, (independent) reaction time therapeutic effect index) is determined.

[0099] (S106) In the therapeutic content set, the content whose therapeutic effect (therapeutic effect index) does not satisfy the predetermined condition is replaced with another content, for example, the content whose therapeutic effect (therapeutic effect index) is known to satisfy the predetermined condition. This allows the therapeutic content set to be updated to one more suitable for the patient.

[0100] [Another embodiment of the content determination device] Returning to the functional block diagram of FIG. 1, another embodiment of the content determination device according to the present invention that utilizes an attention bias correction technique will now be described.

[0101] In this embodiment, the measurement result acquisition unit 114 acquires a response measurement result from a predetermined measurement means (in this embodiment, the touch panel display 104, the input / output control unit 122, and the response measurement unit 113) that measures the user's response when the predetermined presentation means (in this embodiment, the content presentation unit 122a and the touch panel display 104) simultaneously presents (displays) dependent content (dependent target image) and independent content (non-dependent target image), and outputs the response measurement result to the effect determination unit 115.

[0102] Next, the effect determination unit 115 determines "response information" from the received response measurement results, which includes information regarding whether the user's response is to the presented dependent content or non-dependent content, and determines the therapeutic effect (treatment-related effect) of the dependent content on the user based on the determined "response information."

[0103] Here, in this embodiment, it is preferable to present a cue such as "Please select the non-dependent content" along with the presented dependent content and non-dependent content, and prompt the user to tap, for example, a selection icon button displayed near the non-dependent content, rather than a selection icon button displayed near the dependent content.

[0104] The determined "reaction information" can be, for example, information that "independent content was selected (a reaction was made to the independent content) and the reaction time was ** milliseconds" or information that "dependent content was selected (a reaction was made to the dependent content)." Next, using such "reaction information," for example, the following formula is used: (6) (Treatment Effect Index) = 100 / (Reaction Time): When non-dependent content is selected (7) (Therapeutic Effect Index) = 0: When dependent content is selected Using the above, a "therapeutic effect index" can be determined as a therapeutic effect on the user in the dependent content. Note that this "therapeutic effect index" is set to have a larger value when the user selects non-dependent content instead of the dependent content that should be avoided, and when the reaction time is shorter.

[0105] As a modification of this embodiment, when a predetermined presentation means (content presentation unit 122a and touch panel display 104) simultaneously presents dependent content and independent content and then, instead of the dependent content, presents "predetermined information" (e.g., some text) as second independent content at the presentation position of the independent content, the measurement result acquisition unit 114 may acquire a response measurement result from a predetermined measurement means (touch panel display 104, input / output control unit 122, and response measurement unit 113) that measures the user's response to this "predetermined information," and output the result to the effect determination unit 115.

[0106] In this case, it is preferable that the effect determination unit 115 determines "response information" from the received response measurement results, including information regarding the time it takes for the user to react to the "specified information" (for example, the reaction time from when the "specified information" is displayed to when an icon button near the "specified information" is tapped), and determines the therapeutic effect of the dependent content on the user, for example, a "therapeutic effect index" according to the above formula (6), based on the determined "response information."

[0107] In this way, according to the present embodiment (and further the above-mentioned modified embodiment), the therapeutic effect of the dependent content as the therapeutic information for the user can be determined based on the acquired "response measurement result". Furthermore, it is also possible to generate and update the therapeutic content set using the determined therapeutic effect, as already described in detail.

[0108] [Still another embodiment of the content determination device] FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram showing still another embodiment of a content determination device according to the present invention.

[0109] 5 is yet another embodiment of the content determination device according to the present invention, and includes a communication interface unit 801, a content storage unit 802, a therapeutic content set storage unit 803, and a processing unit. The processing unit functions as a content collection unit 811, a content set generation / update unit 812, a measurement result acquisition unit 814, an effect determination unit 815 including a content update instruction unit 815a, and a communication control unit 821.

[0110] Here, the content collection unit 811, the content set generation and update unit 812, the measurement result acquisition unit 814, the effect determination unit 815, and the content update instruction unit 815a in this effect determination unit 815 are functional components that perform the same functions as the content collection unit 111, the content set generation and update unit 112, the measurement result acquisition unit 114, the effect determination unit 115, and the content update instruction unit 115a in this effect determination unit 115 in the smartphone 1 shown in Figure 1, respectively.

[0111] In this embodiment, the smartphone 9 includes a content presenting unit 922a and a reaction measuring unit 913 that are realized by executing a downloaded addiction treatment app, for example. The content presenting unit 922a and the reaction measuring unit 913 are functional components that perform the same functions as the content presenting unit 122a and the reaction measuring unit 113 in the smartphone 1 shown in FIG.

[0112] In this embodiment, the content presenting unit 922a of the smartphone 9 presents to the user each content of the therapeutic content set distributed from (the therapeutic content set storage unit 803 of) the content set distribution server 8. In addition, the measurement result acquiring unit 814 of the content set distribution server 8 acquires, from the reaction measuring unit 913 of the smartphone 9, a reaction measurement result for each presented content.

[0113] Such a content set distribution server 8 can also determine the therapeutic effect (effect of treatment) of the presented content on the user (recipient), and can also generate and update a therapeutic content set specifically for the user (recipient).

[0114] As a modification, at least one of the content storage unit 802 and the therapeutic content set storage unit 803 can be a database external to the server 8. In any case, the content determination system (and further the content set generation and update system) according to the present invention is configured by the above-described content set distribution server 8 and smartphone 9 (and further the above-described external database).

[0115] As described above in detail, according to the present invention, it is possible to determine the effect of treatment on a treated person in a content as treatment information. Specifically, as one application example, it is possible to determine the therapeutic effect on a treated person in a content for addiction treatment. Also, as one application example, it is possible to generate and update a therapeutic content set using the determined therapeutic effect.

[0116] In other words, although this is just one application example, the present invention can promote the treatment of various addictions across all generations and contribute to Goal 3 of the United Nations-led Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which is to "Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages."

[0117] Regarding the various embodiments of the present invention described above, various changes, modifications, and omissions within the scope of the technical idea and perspective of the present invention can be easily made by those skilled in the art. The above description is merely an example and is not intended to be restrictive in any way. The present invention is limited only by the scope of the claims and their equivalents.
