[0027] Hereinafter, embodiments of the evaluation device, evaluation method, evaluation program, and non-cognitive ability analysis device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited by this embodiment.

[0028] [1. Configuration and Processing] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the evaluation apparatus 100. The evaluation apparatus 100 includes: (1) a control unit 102 that comprehensively controls the apparatus such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit); (2) a communication interface unit 104 that communicably connects the apparatus to a network 200 (for example, the Internet, an intranet, or a LAN (including both wired and wireless)) via a communication device such as a router and a wired or wireless communication line such as a dedicated line; (3) a storage unit 106 that stores various databases, tables, files, etc.; and (4) an input / output interface unit 108 that is connected to an input device 112 and an output device 114. Each unit included in the evaluation apparatus 100 is communicably connected via an arbitrary communication path. The evaluation apparatus 100 may be communicably connected to an external device via the network 200, for example.

[0029] The evaluation apparatus 100 may correspond to, for example, a stationary or portable information processing apparatus (for example, a desktop personal computer, a notebook personal computer, a smartphone, a wearable terminal, etc.) possessed by a user, or an information processing apparatus (so-called server) that plays a role as a server and is communicable with a stationary or portable information processing apparatus possessed by the user.

[0030] The communication interface unit 104 mediates communication between the evaluation apparatus 100 and the network 200 (or a communication device such as a router). That is, the communication interface unit 104 has a function of communicating data with other terminals via a communication line.

[0031] As the storage unit 106, for example, a memory device such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a ROM (Read Only Memory), a fixed disk device such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, or an optical disk can be used. A computer program (for example, an evaluation program according to the present embodiment) for giving instructions to the CPU in cooperation with the OS (Operating System) to perform various processes may be recorded in the storage unit 106.

[0032] An input / output interface unit 108 is connected to an input device 112 and an output device 114. As the output device 114, in addition to a monitor, a speaker or a printer can be used. As the input device 112, in addition to a keyboard, a mouse or a microphone, a monitor that realizes a pointing device function in cooperation with the mouse, or a touch panel can be used.

[0033] The control unit 102 has an internal memory for storing control programs such as an OS, programs defining various processing procedures, required data, etc., and executes various information processes based on these stored programs.

[0034] Functionally conceptually, the control unit 102 includes a calculation unit 102a, a first evaluation unit 102b, a second evaluation unit 102c, an output control unit 102d, a generation unit 102e, etc.

[0035] The calculation unit 102a calculates a quantity value based on data related to food other than the value of the quantity of one or more nutrients selected from a set of nutrients related to the development of cognitive ability and / or non-cognitive ability in food (for example, content or intake).

[0036] Here, the cognitive ability is an ability that can be quantified, and may be an intelligence quotient (for example, IQ (Intelligence Quotient)), academic ability, memory, or logic. The cognitive ability can be evaluated by an IQ test, an academic ability test, a memory test, etc.

[0037] Also, the non-cognitive ability is an ability that cannot be quantified, and may be emotional intelligence (for example, EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)), will, endurance, diligence, self-control, aspiration, empathy, or cooperation. The non-cognitive ability can be evaluated by an EQ test, etc.

[0038] In addition, the set of nutrients related to the development of cognitive ability and / or non-cognitive ability may include protein, lipid, carbohydrate, vitamin or mineral.

[0039] Here, the lipid may be a saturated fatty acid, an unsaturated fatty acid or a phospholipid. The saturated fatty acid may be butyric acid, caproic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, arachidic acid, behenic acid or lignoceric acid. The unsaturated fatty acid may be a monounsaturated fatty acid or a polyunsaturated fatty acid. The monounsaturated fatty acid may be palmitoleic acid or oleic acid. The polyunsaturated fatty acid may be an n-6 series fatty acid or an n-3 series fatty acid. The n-6 series fatty acid may be linoleic acid, γ-linolenic acid or arachidonic acid. The n-3 series fatty acid may be α-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid or docosahexaenoic acid. Preferably, the set may include an n-6 series fatty acid or an n-3 series fatty acid. The phospholipid may be a glycerophospholipid (phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine or phosphatidylinositol) or a sphingophospholipid (sphingomyelin), etc.

[0040] The carbohydrate may be sugar, oligosaccharide, polysaccharide, starch or dietary fiber, etc. Preferably, the set may include sugar. The sugar may be glucose or sucrose, etc. Preferably, the set may include glucose.

[0041] The vitamin may be vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, folic acid, pantothenic acid, niacin, biotin or vitamin K, etc. Preferably, the set may include vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B1, vitamin B12, folic acid or pantothenic acid.

[0042] The minerals may be, for example, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, chromium, selenium, magnesium, calcium, or molybdenum. Preferably, the set may contain iron, zinc, copper, manganese, or iodine.

[0043] Note that the nutrients to be included in the set may be selected, for example, based on the dietary intake standards for Japanese people published by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare or Non-Patent Document 4.

[0044] Also, food is, for example, a meal (menu) or food ingredients. The meal is not limited to what corresponds to one meal (e.g., breakfast, lunch, or dinner), but may also correspond to meals for a certain period (e.g., 3 days, 1 week, or 1 month), and may be something that corresponds to the eating tendency, eating habits, or eating (dietary) pattern of a user (e.g., a group (family unit) such as a family or an individual such as a family member). Also, regarding the meal, it does not matter whether the user actually consumed it.

[0045] Also, the data related to food may be, for example, those shown in the following (1) to (7). (1) Photos of meals or food ingredients, etc. (2) Purchase data (e.g., POS (Point Of Sales) data, etc.) or electronic payment data related to meals or food ingredients that make up the meal (3) Character information related to the description of the meal content (e.g., information input using an electronic device such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal) (4) Information related to cooking (e.g., the ingredients used in cooking and their quantities (e.g., weight, etc.)) (5) Information obtained from a nursery school app or a meal recording app (e.g., FiNC or Karomama, etc.) (6) Information obtained from a wearable device (e.g., an AR (Augmented Reality) device such as Apple Glasses, etc.) (7) Information obtained from a smart home appliance (e.g., an automatic acquisition function for the contents of a refrigerator, etc.)

[0046] Here, when the data related to food is purchase data (such as that provided from the POS system on the retail store side), the calculation unit 102a may calculate the value of the amount in the food ingredients estimated on the assumption that what was purchased was ingested as a meal, or a value calculated by correcting that value. When the data related to food is a photo of a meal (specifically, photos of meals for several days and several minutes), the value of the amount may be obtained from the photo of the meal based on a method such as the 3-day diet weighing method (''Tomoko Imai et al., Validity of photographing in 3-day diet record survey, Journal of the Japanese Society for Dietary Life, 2009, 20(3):203-210.'').

[0047] The first evaluation unit 102b evaluates the degree of the comprehensive intake status of nutrients related to the development of cognitive ability and / or non-cognitive ability using a model that outputs a value indicating the degree of the comprehensive intake status of nutrients related to the development of cognitive ability and / or non-cognitive ability from the input value. As an evaluation result, the first evaluation unit 102b may output a value based on the output value of the model (for example, a value obtained by converting the output value based on a predetermined conversion method) or the output value of the model.

[0048] Here, the input value of the model is, for example, the value of the amount in food or quantitative or qualitative data related to allergies for one or more nutrients selected from a set of nutrients related to the development of cognitive ability and / or non-cognitive ability. The input value may be associated with a user (the subject). Here, the user may be an infant, a toddler, a child, an elementary school student, a junior high school student, a high school student, a college student, an adult, a middle-aged or elderly person, etc. Preferably, the user is an infant, a toddler, a child, an elementary school student, a junior high school student or a high school student. More preferably, the user is an infant, a toddler, a child or an elementary school student.

[0049] Also, the model may be, for example, the following mathematical formula that outputs a score (brain development score) corresponding to the ''value indicating the degree of the comprehensive intake status of nutrients related to the development of cognitive ability and / or non-cognitive ability''. Score = Essential variable X ※1 × Coefficient A ※2 + Optional variable Y※3 × Coefficient B ※4 + Any other arbitrary variable Z ※5 × Coefficient C ※4 ※1: The data substituted into variable X is, for example, the value of the amount of nutrients selected from a set of nutrients related to the development of cognitive ability and / or non-cognitive ability, or quantitative or qualitative data regarding allergies, etc. The number of variable X included in the mathematical formula is one or more. ※2: Coefficient A is a non-zero real number. ※3: The data substituted into variable Y is, for example, (1) body temperature, (2) quantitative or qualitative data regarding diet, (3) quantitative or qualitative data regarding snacks, (4) napping time, (5) defecation record, (6) exercise time, (7) height, (8) weight, (9) chest circumference, (10) head circumference, (11) quantitative or qualitative data regarding intelligence tests (such as scores, etc.), (12) quantitative or qualitative data regarding the leftovers of lunch, (13) satisfaction of lunch, (14) target age, (15) qualitative data regarding season (such as the peak season of food ingredients, etc.), (16) number of people, (17) quantitative or qualitative data regarding academic performance, (18) quantitative or qualitative data regarding the performance of art subjects (such as music or art, etc.), or (19) quantitative or qualitative data regarding language learning performance, etc. Note that the data from (14) to (19) are for the preparation of the menu for school lunches in nurseries or schools. The number of variable Y included in the mathematical formula is one or more. ※4: Coefficient B and Coefficient C are real numbers including zero. ※5: The data substituted into variable Z is, for example, (20) quantitative or qualitative data regarding the special sale information of nearby supermarkets, (21) quantitative or qualitative data regarding the food ingredients in the refrigerator, (22) quantitative or qualitative data regarding the food ingredients purchased from online stores, (23) quantitative or qualitative data regarding the absent students in nurseries, kindergartens, schools or workplaces, (24) quantitative or qualitative data regarding the weather, (25) quantitative or qualitative data regarding the temperature, (26) quantitative or qualitative data regarding pregnancy or diseases, or (27) quantitative or qualitative data regarding the budget, etc.

[0050] The second evaluation unit 102c uses the value of the amount of nutrients in food and the reference value of the nutrient intake (for example, those described in the Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese published by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) to evaluate the nutrients related to the development of cognitive ability and / or non-cognitive ability that are lacking, or the degree of deficiency of the nutrients related to the development of cognitive ability and / or non-cognitive ability. The second evaluation unit 102c may output, as an evaluation result, a value indicating the name of the nutrient or the degree of deficiency with respect to the reference value. Here, when taking in the deficiency amount, the difference between the intake amount and the reference value may be taken. Also, for the reference value, it may be the nutrient intake in Japan considering the monthly age value. The value of the amount used may be associated with the user. Here, the user may be an infant, a young child, a child, a primary school student, a junior high school student, a high school student, a university student, an adult, a middle-aged or elderly person, etc. Preferably, the user is an infant, a young child, a child, a primary school student, a junior high school student or a high school student. More preferably, the user is an infant, a young child, a child or a primary school student.

[0051] The output control unit 102d outputs, in a recognizable manner by humans, the processing results (for example, the calculation results by the calculation unit 102a, the evaluation results obtained by the first evaluation unit 102b, the evaluation results obtained by the second evaluation unit 102c, or the digital content generated by the generation unit 102e, etc.) by each processing unit provided in the control unit 102. The output control unit 102d may display the processing results on a monitor (an example of the output device 114 described later). The output control unit 102d may display the processing results on the monitor in a form such as a radar chart or a graph (see FIG. 2). Here, the screen MA shown in FIG. 2 includes a display area MA1 for displaying the score output by the first evaluation unit 102b, a display area MA2 for displaying the "value indicating the degree of deficiency with respect to the reference value" output by the second evaluation unit 102c, and a display area MA3 for displaying the "name of the lacking nutrient" output by the second evaluation unit 102c.

[0052] The output control unit 102d may graphically display records of growth or development such as height or weight on a monitor. The output control unit 102d may graphically display development indicators (motor, social, or language) for each age or month on a monitor. The output control unit 102d may graphically display the test results of the intelligence quotient (IQ) or the test results of the non-cognitive ability (EQ) on a monitor. Note that non-cognitive ability is the ability to enrich a child's future and life, such as human power, perseverance, emotion control, and communication ability. The output control unit 102d may display information on nutrients considered good for the brain or food ingredients containing the nutrients on a monitor, with text or illustrations.

[0053] Based on the evaluation results obtained by the first evaluation unit 102b or the second evaluation unit 102c, the generation unit 102e generates digital content (such as comments, advice, or recommendations). The generation unit 102e may generate digital content regarding a list of foods that improve the degree of the overall intake status of nutrients related to the development of cognitive ability and / or non-cognitive ability or the degree of deficiency of nutrients related to the development of cognitive ability and / or non-cognitive ability, or a diet or menu using the foods.

[0054] Using the evaluation results, the generation unit 102e may generate digital content regarding a health program or a program in fitness, in conjunction with a person's attribute information (such as age, gender, or family composition), a person's behavior information (such as digital data regarding the number of steps, walking speed, voice, line of sight, or expression), or a person's physical information (such as height, weight, muscle mass, body fat percentage, clinical test values, vital signs, metabolite concentration information, or health-related information).

[0055] The generation unit 102e may generate personalized digital content for an individual by combining the evaluation results with information regarding, for example, the individual's attribute information (such as age, gender, or family composition), the individual's dietary tendency, the individual's eating habits, the individual's eating lifestyle pattern, or the individual's preferences.

[0056] The generation unit 102e may generate digital content that leads to or is related to insurance premium calculation or insurance product development in an insurance company using the evaluation results.

[0057] When the evaluation device 100 corresponds to a server, the control unit 102 may provide (transmit) the digital content generated by the generation unit 102e to, for example, an information processing device owned by a user.

[0058] The evaluation device 100 may further include a collection unit that collects physical information and living information of a subject (user), an analysis unit that analyzes data on nutrients from information on meals included in the living information collected by the collection unit, an estimation unit that estimates the amount of necessary nutrients to be obtained from the physical information collected by the collection unit, and a calculation unit that integrates and quantifies the information collected by the collection unit, the analysis result obtained by the analysis unit, and the information estimated by the estimation unit. When the evaluation device 100 includes the collection unit, the analysis unit, the estimation unit, and the calculation unit, the evaluation device 100 also functions as a non-cognitive ability analysis device.
