[0027] The user terminal 3 is a terminal device operated by a user, and transmits information about the user's child to the content proposal device 2. In addition, the user terminal 3 receives the proposal results of parenting content from the content proposal device 2.

[0028] The administrator terminal 4 is a terminal device operated by an administrator who proposes parenting content. The administrator terminal 4 is used to display information about the user's child, display the proposal results of parenting content proposed by the content proposal device 2, manage the proposal status of parenting content, etc.

[0029] The database DB is configured as a database for storing various information. The database DB is installed inside or outside the content proposal device 2, and is configured to be capable of data communication with at least the content proposal device 2. The user terminal 3 and the operator terminal 4 can store data in the database DB and be provided with the stored data via the content proposal device 2. The database DB may be configured to be capable of data communication with the user terminal 3 and the operator terminal 4, and to store information transmitted from each terminal device and provide information stored in each terminal device.

[0030] Fig. 2(a) shows a hardware configuration diagram of the content proposal device 2. The content proposal device 2 includes, as its hardware configuration, a control device 201, a storage device 202, and a communication device 203. In this embodiment, the content proposal device 2 may use a computer device such as a server device or a personal computer. Note that the content proposal device 2 may be configured by a plurality of computer devices, and is not limited to the configuration shown in Fig. 2(a) as long as it can realize the above-mentioned functional components (21-23) as a whole.

[0031] The control device 201 is configured with one or more processors such as a CPU or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and executes a content proposal program, an OS (Operating System), and other applications to control the overall processing in the content proposal device 2. The storage device 202 is a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a flash memory, a RAM (Random Access Memory), or the like, and stores the content proposal program and various data.

[0034] Fig. 3 shows a processing sequence diagram of the content proposal system 1. Note that in the sequence diagram of Fig. 3, it is assumed that the user has already completed registration of user data by the user.

[0035] 3, first, the user terminal 3 accepts input of answer data from the user and transmits the answer data to the content proposal device 2 (S101). Based on the received answer data, the content proposal device 2 transmits a reference request for parenting content stored in the database DB (S102). In response to the reference request, the content proposal device 2 acquires parenting content from the database DB (S103). The content proposal device 2 outputs a content proposal including the acquired parenting content to the user terminal 3 (S104).

[0036] FIG. 4 shows an example of the structure of various data related to the response data.

[0037] FIG. 4(a) shows an example of the data structure of question data corresponding to answer data acquired from a user. The question data has a question ID, a question content, and a plurality of options for answers to the question content. The question content is provided as a question about the child's developmental status. The options are provided by the user in the form of multiple choice answers to the question. In this embodiment, the question data is provided with questions about the child's developmental status, classified by developmental status such as "body," "mind," and "control." For example, question ID A1 is a question about "body" development, and question A2 is a question about "mind" development, etc.

[0038] In this embodiment, the options are provided so that the degree of developmental progress can be answered to the questions. For example, a question about the development of "turning over" is provided with options according to the proficiency of turning over, such as "doesn't seem to want to turn over," "seems to be trying to turn over," "can sometimes turn over by itself, and sometimes not," and "can turn over completely by itself," and is configured to be answered.

[0039] FIG. 4(b) shows an example of the data structure of answer data regarding answers by a user to questions in the question data. The answer data includes an answer ID, a user ID that identifies the user who provided the answer, the child's actual age, and multiple answers to the questions corresponding to each question ID. The answers are indicated by the number of the option selected by the user, etc. For example, if option 1 is selected as the answer to question ID: A1-1, the answer will be "1." The actual age may be referenced from the user data.

[0040] The answers to the questions are treated as developmental information indicating the child's developmental status. The developmental information is used to suggest parenting content appropriate for the child's developmental status. In this embodiment, the developmental information is classified into first developmental information and second developmental information according to the questions.

[0041] The first development information is used to determine whether the developmental status is necessary for using the parenting content. In this embodiment, the first developmental information is set mainly on the development of the gross motor system, such as rolling over and crawling, and the cognitive system, such as pointing. Specifically, the first developmental information is set mainly on the answers to questions about the "body" and "mind." If the developmental status defined in the first developmental information is not appropriate, the child will not be able to properly use the proposed parenting content, so the first developmental information is set strictly.

[0042] The second developmental information is used to determine whether the developmental situation is favorable for using the parenting content. The second developmental information is related to the development of operations such as finger movements. Specifically, the second developmental information is set mainly based on the answers to the "let's play" questions. Even if the developmental situation defined in the second developmental information is not appropriate, the second developmental information is set within a range that allows for slight differences so that the child can use the proposed parenting content to a certain extent.

[0043] Fig. 4(c) shows an example of the data configuration of user data related to a user. The user data includes a user ID, the actual age of the user's child, an answer ID indicating past answer data by the user, a developmental index, a proposed play step ID indicating a play step previously proposed to the user, etc. Note that instead of or in addition to the proposed play step ID, the data may include a proposed content ID indicating parenting content previously proposed to the user.

[0044] The acquisition unit 21 acquires answer data including the child's actual age and development information related to the child's developmental status from the user, and stores the data in the database DB for each user. The user's answer data is identified by the user ID. In this embodiment, the acquisition unit 21 acquires answer data from the user at predetermined intervals. Answer data acquired from the same user is associated with the user data and stored in the database DB. The child's actual age may be acquired, for example, as the child's date of birth at the first use, and not included in the answer data from the second use onwards. The child's actual age is preferably expressed in months, and is stored in association with the user data.

[0045] The initial response data is used to determine the child's developmental index. The developmental index is an index indicating the developmental status determined according to the development over time. There are individual differences in the developmental status of children, and the developmental index is used for the purpose of recognizing the child's developmental status reflecting the individual differences by a computer at the time of first use. A child's development progresses at a relatively constant speed over time. Therefore, the developmental index changes as the child develops over time, as an index indicating that the developmental status has progressed from the index determined initially. Note that the developmental index may be revised at that time if the developmental status is significantly faster or slower.

[0046] The acquisition unit 21 acquires answer data on the child's development and growth from the user via the answer screen displayed on the user terminal 3. Fig. 5 shows examples of screen display of answer screens W10 and W20 that accept input of answer data on the child's developmental status.

[0047] The answer screen W10 has a question area W11 that displays a question about the developmental state of the "body," an answer area W12 that displays answer options for the question and accepts input of an answer by the user, and a next button W13. In the example of FIG. 5, answer data about the developmental state of the "body" can be obtained from the state of the child's rolling over. Although only one question area W11 and one answer area W12 are shown in FIG. 5, multiple question areas W11 and multiple answer areas W12 can be provided. Pressing the next button W13 completes input via the answer screen W10 and transitions to the next screen display.

[0048] The answer screen W20 accepts input of answer data regarding the developmental status of "Sosa." The answer screen W20 includes a question area W21, an answer area W22, and a next button W23, similar to the answer screen W10. The answer screen W20 includes questions regarding finger operations such as grabbing, gripping, and pinching as developmental status of "Sosa."

[0049] As shown in the answer screens W10 and W20, it is preferable to provide questions for each type of development and options for each level of development in order to grasp the appropriate developmental status. The answers entered via the answer screens W10 and W20 are transmitted to the content proposal device 2 in accordance with a transmission instruction from the user terminal 3, and are stored in the database DB as answer data.

[0050] The determination unit 22 determines one or more play steps, which are play classifications appropriate for the child's developmental status, in response to the answer data. In this embodiment, the play steps are defined by classifying the child's development into the developmental categories of "body," "mind," and "activity," and further classifying the child into appropriate play depending on the degree of developmental progress of the child in each developmental category.

[0051] FIG. 6 shows an example of the structure of various data for proposing parenting content.

[0052] 6(a) shows an example of the data configuration of play step data related to a play step. The play step data includes a play step ID, a play step name, a growth category, an estimated actual age, and a proposed condition type. The proposed condition type indicates the condition of a fixed frame or a movable frame. The movable frame is set based on the first growth information, and the fixed frame is set based on the second growth information.

[0053] For example, if the development category is "body," the play steps are defined as play step names such as "Let's play on our tummy" or "Let's play with our hands on our tummy" according to the developmental stage of "crawling." In this example, the steps are set for when a child is about 2-3 months old, when they can crawl on their tummy, and then about 3-4 months old, when they can support themselves on their elbows and use their hands to make movements.

[0054] 6(b) and (c) show an example of the data configuration of suggested condition data for determining a play step suitable for a child based on the response data. The suggested condition data includes a play step ID, a play step name, a minimum development index, a minimum actual age / estimated actual age, and one or more suggested conditions. The minimum development index indicates the minimum value of the development index for determining that a play step is the relevant play step. The minimum actual age is set as a condition in the play step of the movable frame, and the estimated actual age is set as a guide in the play step of the fixed frame.

[0055] In the proposal condition data of Fig. 6(b), the minimum growth index, the minimum actual age, and one or more proposal conditions are set as the movable frame proposal conditions for the play step of the movable frame. The movable frame proposal conditions are referred to in determining the play step of the movable frame and are used to propose the movable frame content.

[0056] In the proposal condition data of Fig. 6(c), at least a minimum growth index is set as a fixed frame proposal condition for the play step of the fixed frame. The play step of the fixed frame may further have an estimated actual age and / or one or more proposal conditions set as the fixed frame proposal condition. The fixed frame proposal condition is referred to in determining the play step of the fixed frame and is used to propose fixed frame content.

[0057] The suggestion condition corresponds to the user's answer included in the answer data, and can be set to an answer above a certain level and / or below a certain level. For example, the answer regarding crawling is set to an answer above "Can lift head for a little while while crawling on stomach" and below "Can arch to chest for a little while while crawling on stomach", and the condition is set according to the degree of development according to the answer data. In addition, the suggestion condition can be set to a play step that has not been suggested before.

[0058] The determination unit 22 can determine that the child's developmental status is suitable for the play step when all of the set conditions, the minimum developmental index, the minimum actual age, and the proposed conditions, are satisfied. It is preferable that the proposed condition data restricts the number of proposed conditions set for the play step of the fixed frame so that at least one or more can be determined from, for example, the minimum developmental index and the minimum actual age. For example, it is preferable that the number of proposed conditions set for the play step of the fixed frame is relatively small compared to the number of proposed conditions set for the play step of the movable frame. This allows the determination unit 22 to continuously determine new play steps, and to propose new child-rearing content after a predetermined period of time has passed.

[0059] In one embodiment, the proposed condition data may include a content ID, a content name, a minimum growth index, a minimum actual age / estimated actual age, and one or more proposed conditions. In this case, the determination unit 22 can directly determine the content ID based on the answer data and the conditions set in the proposed condition data.

[0060] In one embodiment, the suggestion condition data may include a content ID, a content name, and a minimum development index. Parental content and parenting content that falls within a fixed frame are associated with a development index, and content that is fixedly determined according to the child's development over time can be suggested.

[0061] Fig. 6(d) shows an example of the data configuration of content proposal data that associates play steps with parenting content. The content proposal data has a play step ID and a content ID, and may further have a play step name and a content name corresponding to each ID. A plurality of parenting contents may be associated with one play step.

[0062] The suggestion unit 23 suggests parenting content according to the child's developmental status based on the response data. The suggestion unit 23 can suggest one or more parenting contents associated with the play step determined by the determination unit 22 based on the response data and the proposal condition data. The suggestion unit 23 may also be configured to suggest one or more parenting contents determined by the determination unit 22 based on the response data and the proposal condition data. The suggestion unit 23 identifies a content ID by referring to the content suggestion data, and acquires parenting content corresponding to the content ID from a content database (not shown) that stores parenting contents.

[0063] FIG. 7 shows a process flowchart of a proposal process for proposing parenting content according to a child's developmental state based on response data in the content proposal device 2. In the process shown in FIG.

[0064] The acquisition unit 21 acquires answer data including the child's actual age and growth information on the growth status from the user (S201). The determination unit 22 determines whether the user of the acquired answer data is a first-time user (S202). The determination unit 22 can refer to the user data of the user and determine whether the user is a first-time user based on the presence or absence of other answer data.

[0065] When the determination unit 22 determines that the use is not the first time (NO in S202), it updates the growth index to correspond to the progress of the growth situation (S203). In this embodiment, the growth index is expressed by a numerical value that increases stepwise from 1 according to the progress of the growth situation. The determination unit 22 can update the growth index by increasing the growth index by 1, assuming that the growth situation has progressed.

[0066] The determination unit 22 determines the development index (S204). When the determination unit 22 determines that the use is the first time (YES in S202), the determination unit 22 determines the development index based on the answer data. When the determination unit 22 determines that the use is not the first time, the determination unit 22 determines that the development index updated in S203 is the current development index of the child.

[0067] The determination of the growth index based on the response data at the time of the first use will be explained. The determination unit 22 determines the growth index based on a combination of the actual age and the growth information. For example, when the actual age is xx months to xx months and the growth information satisfies / does not satisfy the index condition, the determination unit 22 determines that the growth index is at the xxth stage. The index condition is set according to the proficiency level of crawling, etc. in the growth information, for example, and a high growth index is set for a high proficiency level. In this embodiment, the index condition is set mainly for the growth category related to "movement." From the growth information related to the child's "movement," a rough growth situation of the child at the current stage is estimated, and a growth index is derived as a result of the estimation.

[0068] The determination unit 22 further determines the play step corresponding to the answer data (S205). Note that, when the content ID is directly associated with the proposal condition in the proposal condition data, S205 can be omitted.

[0069] The determination unit 22 determines the play steps of the fixed frame based on the proposed condition data and the growth index. The determination unit 22 determines the play steps of the fixed frame whose growth index satisfies the minimum growth index set in the fixed frame proposal condition. The determination unit 22 may further be configured to determine the play steps of the fixed frame based on the growth information, the actual age, the proposed play step ID / proposed content ID, etc. The determination unit 22 determines the play step of the movable frame based on the proposed condition data and the growth information. The determination unit 22 determines the play step of the movable frame that satisfies the condition set in the movable frame proposal condition by the growth information. The determination unit 22 may be further configured to determine the play step of the movable frame based on the growth index, the actual age, the proposed play step ID / proposed content ID, etc.

[0070] The suggestion unit 23 determines parenting content associated with the play step determined by the determination unit 22 (S206). Note that the suggestion unit 23 may determine the parenting content directly determined by the determination unit 22 as the content to be proposed. The suggestion unit 23 determines the parenting content so as to include at least one parenting content of a fixed frame and at least one parenting content of a movable frame.

[0071] The suggestion unit 23 can suggest parenting content of a movable frame in which a necessary developmental state for use is defined based on the movable frame suggestion conditions and the first developmental information. The suggestion unit 23 can also suggest parenting content of a fixed frame in which a preferable developmental state for use is defined based on the fixed frame suggestion conditions and the second developmental information. Here, the fixed frame suggestion conditions are set to include a minimum developmental index determined from the second developmental information, and as the developmental index increases over time, fixed frame content that matches the developmental index can be suggested.

[0072] In S206, the suggestion unit 23 determines parenting content of a fixed frame associated with the developmental index. Here, the parenting content of the fixed frame includes content for parents. The parenting content of the fixed frame also includes toy content whose use is not significantly affected by the developmental state. Since the parenting content of the fixed frame is associated with the developmental index, it is continuously provided as different content according to the development of the child over time.

[0073] In the series of processes described above, the priority order between the proposal of fixed frame content based on the determination of the idle steps of the fixed frame and the proposal of movable frame content based on the determination of the idle steps of the movable frame is not particularly limited. For example, one embodiment is one in which a proposal of movable frame content based on a determination of the idle steps of the movable frame is prioritized over a proposal of fixed frame content based on a determination of the idle steps of the fixed frame.

[0074] The suggestion unit 23 outputs a content suggestion including the plurality of parenting contents determined in S206 (S207). In this embodiment, the content suggestion includes distribution data and shipping management data.

[0075] The distribution data indicates data related to parenting content distributed to the user terminal 3. The suggestion unit 23 transmits the distribution data of the parenting content to the user terminal 3, thereby providing the content to the user.

[0076] If the toy content is a toy content, the distribution data includes a toy name associated with the content ID, image data of the toy, a video of how to play, etc. If the toy content is electronic content such as a video, the distribution data may include the electronic content itself.

[0077] The distribution data includes data of parental content associated with the content ID. The parental content is provided as electronic content such as lesson sheets, textbooks, audio media, seminars, videos, etc. The parental content corresponds to developmental indicators, so that parents can learn information necessary for their child's development and growth at the appropriate time.

[0078] The delivery management data indicates data used for the purpose of managing the delivery status of parenting content that needs to be delivered to a user. The suggestion unit 23 transmits the delivery management data of the parenting content to the administrator terminal 4, and the administrator delivers the content, thereby making it possible to provide the content to the user. The parenting content that needs to be delivered includes, but is not limited to, toys, and may include, for example, a paper textbook for parents.

[0079] The shipping management data includes one or more content IDs and a shipping status. The shipping status indicates the status of the content, such as not shipped / shipped / returned. The administrator manages the shipping of the child-rearing content by displaying the shipping management data on the administrator terminal 4, shipping the content, such as a toy, corresponding to the toy ID to the user, and changing the shipping status to "shipped." When the shipping status is set to "shipped," the suggestion unit 23 may transmit a shipping completion notification to the user terminal 3.

[0080] The content proposal device 2 repeatedly executes the processes of S201 to S207 at every predetermined period. The predetermined period is set to a period during which a child's development progresses, such as one month or two months. The proposal unit 23 can continuously propose appropriate child-rearing content at every predetermined period in accordance with the development progress.

[0081] The user terminal 3 receives the distribution data and can display a child-rearing content screen W30 as shown in Fig. 8. Fig. 8 shows an example of a screen display based on the distribution data of toy content for user AAA.

[0082] The content screen W30 includes a first toy area W31 and a second toy area W32.

[0083] The first toy area W31 is displayed based on the play step and the toy content. The first toy area W31 displays the play step name, as well as video content C1 corresponding to the play step and toy content C2 including the content name and image corresponding to the play step. The video content C1 is displayed as a video playback window, and the video content can be played by pressing the play button. In this embodiment, the video content C1 is an explanatory video for the play step, and includes the child's development in the play step, appropriate play, and how to play using the corresponding toy content. The toy content C2 displays appropriate toys corresponding to the play step and toys that will actually be shipped to the user.

[0084] The second toy area W32 is displayed based on the other play steps and the corresponding toy contents, similar to the first toy area W31. Although two toy areas are illustrated in Fig. 8, more toy areas may be displayed. The toy area is determined based on the number of play steps determined by the determination unit 22.

[0085] In this way, the user can play with the toy that has arrived together with the child while viewing the content screen W30. According to the present invention, parenting content is periodically suggested / provided according to the child's developmental state, so that parenting support at an appropriate time can be realized.
