Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a technique for providing information on the effects of beauty or slimming treatments.

Background Art

[0002] Some treatments in the field of beauty and slimming are aimed at improving the quality, proportion, etc. of fat cells in the body. This type of treatment includes, for example, liposuction, EMS, radio wave irradiation, rolling massage, etc. Liposuction is a treatment (surgical operation) that directly removes subcutaneous fat with a suction tube. EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) is a treatment that moves muscles by applying electrical stimulation. Radio wave irradiation is a treatment that irradiates the body with radio waves (RF: radio frequency) to act on fat cells. Rolling massage is a treatment that acts on the muscles, skin, and fat cells of the body using a roller tool that is rolled and handled by hand. These are just examples, and the content of the treatments provided by esthetic salons is diversified.

[0003] On the other hand, the effects of these treatments are important concerns for users who are about to receive the treatments. However, since physical characteristics (body type, constitution, basal metabolism, etc.) vary from user to user, the effects of the treatments may vary depending on the user. On the other hand, the problems, goals in beauty and slimming, or the parts of the body that users are concerned about, as well as the needs of users in terms of the cost of the treatment, are also diversified, and the effects expected from the treatment also vary from user to user.

[0004] Thus, it has become difficult for users to accurately judge which treatment to receive to obtain the effects they expect, or what effects will be obtained if they receive a certain treatment.

[0005] Against such a background, in order to determine the treatment content suitable for the user, Document 1 describes a holistic treatment support system that stores in a computer medical records describing the client's situation and treatment content, photographed images, etc., and extracts treatment procedures suitable for the current client situation.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0007] In the technology described in Patent Document 1, a treatment program suitable for the user is proposed based on the data of other people who have received treatment. However, it is difficult to actually imagine how one's own body will change if the treatment is performed according to the proposed treatment program, or how much the cosmetic and slimming problems one is thinking about can be solved.

[0008] The present invention assists the user in grasping the treatment effect.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0009] In one aspect, the present invention provides a display device having a storage unit that stores pre-treatment body data indicating the body before treatment and post-treatment body data indicating the body after treatment for a plurality of users who have received treatment, a reception unit that receives an input of new body data indicating the body of a new user, an extraction unit that extracts one or more users from among the plurality of users stored in the storage unit, whose physical characteristics before treatment are similar to those of the new user, and a display unit that displays, in association with each other, an image indicating the body before treatment and an image indicating the body after treatment for the one or more extracted users.

Effects of the Invention

[0010] According to the present invention, a user is assisted in grasping the treatment effect.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] <Embodiment> <Configuration of the Display Device> FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the display system 9. The display system 9 is a system that displays images of the bodies of other users who have already received treatment before and after treatment so that they can be compared with a user who is about to newly receive treatment (referred to as a new user). The display system 9 shown in FIG. 1 includes a server device 1, a display device 2, and a communication line 3.

[0013] The server device 1 is an information processing device that stores and manages data related to the bodies of a plurality of users who have received treatment, and is, for example, a computer. The display device 2 is a portable terminal possessed by a user who is about to receive treatment, and is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a notebook PC (personal computer), or the like. The server device 1 and the display device 2 are connected to each other communicably via the communication line 3.

[0014] The communication line 3 may be, for example, either a LAN (Local Area Network) or a WAN (Wide Area Network). Also, the communication line 3 may be either an intranet or the Internet. Further, the communication line 3 may include a public switched telephone network (PSTN), an integrated services digital network (ISDN), and the like.

[0015] In addition, in this display system 9, the number of each of the server device 1, the display device 2, and the communication line 3 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 1, and may be one or a plurality. For example, the server device 1 may be configured by a cluster system in which a plurality of devices share functions.

[0016] <Configuration of Server Device> FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the server device 1. The server device 1 provides data regarding the body of a user who has already received treatment to the display device 2 in response to a request. As shown in FIG. 2, the server device 1 includes a processor 11, a memory 12, and an interface 13. These are connected by a bus.

[0017] The processor 11 controls each part of the server device 1 by reading and executing a program stored in the memory 12. The processor 11 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit).

[0018] The interface 13 is a communication circuit that connects the server device 1 to other devices communicably, either wired or wirelessly. In particular, the interface 13 has a function of communicably connecting the server device 1 to the display device 2 via the communication line 3 shown in FIG. 1.

[0019] The memory 12 is a storage means for storing an operating system, various programs, data, etc. that are loaded into the processor 11. The memory 12 has a RAM (Random Access Memory) and a ROM (Read Only Memory).

[0020] Note that the memory 12 may have a solid state drive, a hard disk drive, etc. Also, the memory 12 shown in FIG. 2 stores the performance DB 121.

[0021] <Configuration of the performance DB> FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the performance DB 121. The performance DB 121 is a database that stores data (also referred to as performance data) indicating the performance of treatments performed by the operator operating the server device 1. The performance DB 121 has a user list 1211 and a performance table 1212.

[0022] The user list 1211 is a list that stores information about a plurality of users who are customers of the operator. This user list 1211 stores items of user ID and user data. The user ID is identification information for uniquely identifying the user who received the treatment. The user data is unique information of the user identified by the user ID, and is information that does not change before and after the treatment, such as date of birth, name, blood type, etc.

[0023] The performance table 1212 is provided for each user ID described in the user list 1211. This performance table 1212 is a table that describes the pre-treatment body data (referred to as pre-treatment body data) of the user identified by the corresponding user ID and the post-treatment body data (referred to as post-treatment body data) of that user. The performance table 1212 stores, as items related to the body, for example, numerical values before and after treatment such as weight, body fat (percentage / weight), ankle (circumference), calf (circumference), etc. In addition, this performance table 1212 stores photo images taken of the user before and after treatment as the user's body data. That is, the memory 12 that stores the performance DB 121 having this performance table 1212 is an example of a storage unit that stores pre-treatment body data indicating the pre-treatment body of the user who has received treatment and post-treatment body data indicating the post-treatment body. Note that, from the perspective of personal information protection, an image processed such as blurring the face in the photo image is stored so that the user cannot be identified.

[0024] <Configuration of the display device> Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the display device 2. This display device 2 is the display terminal device possessed by the above-mentioned new user. The display device 2 receives an input from the new user and applies for treatment to the server device 1. In addition, the display device 2 receives, as a response to the above-mentioned application, the provision of an image of the body of another user changed by the treatment from the server device 1. Then, the display device 2 displays the provided image to the new user.

[0025] As shown in Figure 4, this display device 2 includes a processor 21, a memory 22, an interface 23, an operation unit 24, a display unit 25, and a camera 26. These are connected by a bus.

[0026] The processor 21 controls each part of the display device 2 by reading and executing the program stored in the memory 22. The processor 21 is, for example, a CPU.

[0027] Interface 23 is a communication circuit that connects the display device 2 to other devices communicably, either by wire or wirelessly. This interface 23 is connected to at least the communication line 3, and communicably connects the server device 1 and the display device 2 via this communication line 3.

[0028] The interface 23 may have a circuit compliant with the standards of wireless communication systems such as IMT-2000, IMT-Advanced, IMT-2020, etc. Further, the interface 23 may have a circuit compliant with the standards of wireless LANs such as IEEE802.11, etc.

[0029] The operation unit 24 includes operation elements such as operation buttons and touch panels for giving various instructions, receives an operation, and sends a signal corresponding to the operation content to the processor 21. This operation is, for example, pressing a button, a gesture on a touch panel, etc.

[0030] Note that the operation unit 24 may have a microphone for collecting sound. In this case, the processor 21 may perform voice recognition processing on voice data indicating the user's voice collected by this microphone, and accept the recognition result as the user's operation.

[0031] The display unit 25 has a display screen such as a liquid crystal display, and displays an image under the control of the processor 21. A transparent touch panel of the operation unit 24 may be arranged overlapping on the display screen. Note that the display unit 25 shown in FIG. 4 has a display screen for displaying an image or the like, but may also have a speaker for emitting sound in addition to this display screen.

[0032] The camera 26 is an imaging means for photographing an object such as the user's whole body or a part of interest and generating an image, and is, for example, a digital still camera. The camera 26 includes, in addition to an optical system such as a lens, an imaging element such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor.

[0033] The memory 22 is a storage means for storing an operating system, various programs, data, etc. that are loaded into the processor 21. The memory 22 has a RAM and a ROM.

[0034] Note that the memory 22 may have a solid state drive, a hard disk drive, etc. Also, the memory 22 shown in FIG. 4 stores a new application DB 221.

[0035] <Configuration of New Application DB> FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the new application DB 221. The new application DB 221 is a database that stores application data input by a user for a new treatment in the display device 2. This new application DB 221 has a new user data table 2211 and a new user body data table 2212.

[0036] The new user data table 2211 is a table that stores "new user data", which is unique information of a new user who owns the display device 2. This new user data is information about items that do not change before and after the treatment, such as the date of birth and name of the new user.

[0037] The new user body data table 2212 is a table that stores data indicating the body of the new user at the current time (referred to as new body data). The new user body data table 2212 stores, as data items, current numerical values such as weight, body fat (percentage / weight), ankle (circumference), calf (circumference), etc. Also, this new user body data table 2212 stores a photographed image of the current new user's body as new body data.

[0038] In addition, the new user body data table 2212 shown in FIG. 5 stores target body data. This target body data is data indicating the goals or issues of the new user in their own body. Goals or issues are, for example, reducing weight by **Kg, lowering body fat percentage by %, or reducing the **cm of the hips. The body data is composed of, for example, information input by the new user via the operation unit 24 regarding the weight etc. described above. Note that not all of the target body data needs to be input. Also, among the target body data, there may be no photo image, or it may be a photo etc. of a model obtained by the new user.

[0039] <Functional Configuration of Server Device> FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the server device 1. In FIG. 6, the communication line 3 connecting the display device 2 and the interface 13 is omitted.

[0040] By reading and executing the program stored in the memory 12, the processor 11 of the server device 1 functions as the acquisition unit 111, reception unit 112, extraction unit 113, and display instruction unit 114 shown in FIG. 6.

[0041] The acquisition unit 111 acquires, from the performance DB 121 in the memory 12, pairs of pre-treatment body data and post-treatment body data for a plurality of users who have already received treatment. That is, the acquisition unit 111 is an example of an acquisition unit that acquires, for a plurality of users who have received treatment, pairs of pre-treatment body data indicating the physical characteristics before treatment and post-treatment body data indicating the body after treatment. In this example, the acquisition unit 111 acquires the above data pairs from the performance DB 121 in the memory 12 (i.e., the storage unit), but these data pairs may be acquired from, for example, other external storage devices etc.

[0042] The reception unit 112 receives, via the interface 13, the new body data input by the new user using the display device 2. That is, the reception unit 112 is an example of a reception unit that receives the input of new body data indicating the physical characteristics of the new user.

[0043] The extraction unit 113 compares the pre-operative body data acquired by the acquisition unit 111 with the new body data received by the reception unit 112 among the set of the pre-operative body data and the post-operative body data. Then, based on the result of the comparison, the extraction unit 113 extracts one or more users whose body shapes before the procedure are similar to the body shape of the new user indicated by the received new body data. For example, the extraction unit 113 may extract several users among those who have undergone the procedure and whose numerical values such as pre-operative weight and body fat, or contour lines extracted from photographic images are close to those of the new user. The extraction unit 113 may compare the pre-operative body data with the new body data for each item, sum up the scores according to the differences, and extract the above-mentioned one or more users based on the obtained total value. That is, the extraction unit 113 is an example of an extraction unit that extracts one or more users from a plurality of users whose pre-operative physical characteristics are similar to those of the new user.

[0044] The display instruction unit 114 generates a set of images (also referred to as an image group) indicating the body at each time point from the pre-operative body data and the post-operative body data of the one or more users extracted by the extraction unit 113. Then, the display instruction unit 114 transmits the generated image group to the display device 2 via the interface 13 and instructs the display device 2 to display the image group in a comparable manner.

[0045] The processor 21 of the display device 2 receives the instruction of the display instruction unit 114 and causes the display unit 25 to display the transmitted image group in a comparable manner. Therefore, the display instruction unit 114, the processor 21 in the display device 2, and the display unit 25 are examples of a display unit that displays images indicating the pre-operative body and the post-operative body of the one or more extracted users in a comparable manner.

[0046] In addition, this display system 9 having the server device 1 and the display device 2 has a plurality of communicably connected devices, and any one of these plurality of devices has a reception unit that receives input of new body data indicating the body of a new user, and for a plurality of users who have received a treatment, an acquisition unit that acquires a set of pre-treatment body data indicating the body before the treatment and post-treatment body data indicating the body after the treatment, respectively, an extraction unit that extracts one or more users whose body characteristics before the treatment are similar to those of the new user from among these plurality of users, and a display unit that displays images indicating the bodies before the treatment and after the treatment of the one or more extracted users in a comparable manner. This is an example of a display system. Further, this display system 9 has a plurality of communicably connected devices, and any one of the plurality of devices has a storage unit that stores pre-treatment body data indicating the body before the treatment and post-treatment body data indicating the body after the treatment for a plurality of users who have received a treatment, a reception unit that receives input of new body data indicating the body of a new user, an extraction unit that extracts one or more users whose body characteristics before the treatment are similar to those of the new user from among the plurality of users stored in the storage unit, and a display unit that displays, in association with each other, an image indicating the body before the treatment and an image indicating the body after the treatment for the one or more extracted users.

[0047] <Operation of the display system> FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the operation flow of the display system 9. When the processor 21 of the display device 2 receives input of new body data from a new user via the operation unit 24 (step S101), it stores the received new body data in the new application DB 221. Then, the processor 21 transmits the new body data stored in the new application DB 221 to the server device 1 (step S102).

[0048] The processor 11 of the server device 1 acquires the new body data from the display device 2 (step S103). Further, the processor 11 acquires performance data from the performance DB 121 in the memory 12 (step S104).

[0049] The processor 11 identifies the body type of the new user indicated by the acquired new body data, and identifies one or more users among those who have already received the treatment, whose body type before the treatment is similar to that of the new user, and extracts the body data of those users respectively (step S105).

[0050] Based on the body data (pre-treatment body data and post-treatment body data) of the one or more users extracted, the processor 11 generates a "comparison image group" showing the body before and after the treatment (step S106). This image group is a set of images for comparing the bodies before and after the treatment of the one or more extracted users.

[0051] The processor 11 transmits the generated image group to the display device 2 (step S107). The processor 21 of the display device 2 receives the comparison image group transmitted from the server device 1 and displays them in a comparable manner (step S108).

[0052] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the appearance of the display device 2. This display device 2 is a smartphone, and a display unit 25 having a display screen such as a liquid crystal is provided on at least one side of the plate-shaped housing. A part of this display screen shown in FIG. 8 is the display area R0.

[0053] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the image group displayed in the display area R0. The display area R0 shown in FIG. 9 displays the photographed full-body images of the one or more extracted users (in the example of this figure, three people who meet the condition that the similarity from the viewpoints of physical characteristics and goals is equal to or higher than a preset threshold) side by side in a comparable manner. The image R1 in FIG. 9 is an image displayed on the left side of the display area R0, and is a photographed full-body image of each user before the treatment. Also, the image R2 in FIG. 9 is an image displayed on the right side of the display area R0, and is a photographed full-body image of each user after the treatment.

[0054] Thus, in the display system 9, based on the information input by the user, one or more other users who are estimated to have physical characteristics (such as body shape, weight, body fat percentage, etc.) close to those of the user are extracted, and for each of the extracted other users, the pre- and post-treatment body images are respectively displayed so that they can be compared.

[0055] A new user who holds the display device 2 can confirm how others with similar physical characteristics and / or similar goals regarding beauty and transmission have changed after the treatment by comparing the pre- and post-treatment images. In the example of this figure, in addition to the similarity of physical characteristics and goals, the treatment records and treatment results of each user are displayed. In this way, since the user can understand at a glance how others in a situation similar to their own have received treatment and what the results are, the user can realistically imagine what they would look like (treatment effect) if they received the treatment, and it becomes easier to determine the treatment content that matches their goals (issues). Also, by displaying examples of multiple users who have similar body shapes and goals but are slightly different, the user can more realistically imagine the changes that would occur when they receive treatment.

[0056] <Modification Example> The above is the description of the embodiment, but the content of this embodiment can be modified as follows. Also, the following modification examples may be combined with each other.

[0057] In the above-described embodiment, the server device 1 had the processor 11 composed of a CPU, but the control means for controlling the server device 1 may have other configurations.

[0058] That is, in addition to the CPU, the server device 1 may have various processors such as a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), a programmable logic device, etc. as the processor 11.

[0059] The operations of the processor in the above-described embodiments may be performed not only by a single processor but also by a plurality of physically separated processors working in cooperation.

[0060] Also, the order of each operation of the processor is not limited to the order described in the above-described embodiments and may be changed as appropriate.

[0061] In the above-described embodiments, the server device 1 does not have the display unit 25, but may have a display unit for displaying a comparison image group. In this case, the processor 11 of the server device 1 may instruct the display unit it has to display the comparison image group. That is, the server device 1 in this modification example is an example of a display device having a reception unit that receives input of new body data indicating the body of a new user, an acquisition unit that acquires, for each of a plurality of users who have received treatment, a set of pre-treatment body data indicating the body before treatment and post-treatment body data indicating the body after treatment, an extraction unit that extracts one or more users from the plurality of users whose body shapes before treatment are similar to that of the new user, and a display unit that displays, in a comparable manner, images indicating the bodies before treatment and after treatment of the one or more extracted users.

[0062] In the above-described embodiment, the processor 21 of the display device 2 does not execute the functions realized by the processor 11 of the server device 1, but may execute some or all of them. For example, the display device 2 may store in the memory 22 a database corresponding to the performance DB 121 stored in the memory 12 of the server device 1. Then, the processor 21 of the display device 2 may realize the functions corresponding to the above-described acquisition unit 111, reception unit 112, extraction unit 113, and display instruction unit 114 realized by the processor 11 of the server device 1. In this case, this display device 2 is an example of a display device having a reception unit that receives an input of new body data indicating the body of a new user, an acquisition unit that acquires, for each of a plurality of users who have received treatment, a set of pre-treatment body data indicating the body before treatment and post-treatment body data indicating the body after treatment, an extraction unit that extracts one or more users from among the plurality of users whose body shapes before treatment are similar to that of the new user, and a display unit that displays, in a comparable manner, images indicating the bodies before treatment and after treatment of the one or more extracted users.

[0063] In the above-described embodiment, the display device 2 received an input of target body data from a new user via the operation unit 24 and stored it in the new application DB 221 of the memory 22. The display device 2 may transmit the target body data stored in the new application DB 221 to the server device 1. In this case, the reception unit 112 realized by the processor 11 of the server device 1 receives this target body data via the interface 13 together with the above-described new body data. That is, the reception unit 112 in this modification example is an example of a reception unit that receives an input of target body data indicating the target for the body of a new user.

[0064] When the reception unit 112 receives the input of the target body data, the extraction unit 113 may compare the post-operative body data with the received target body data among the pairs of pre-operative body data and post-operative body data. Then, based on the result of the comparison, the extraction unit 113 may extract one or more users whose body shape after the treatment is similar to the target body shape of the new user indicated by the received target body data. That is, the extraction unit 113 in this modification example is an example of an extraction unit that extracts one or more users whose body shape after the treatment is similar to the target of the new user from among a plurality of users.

[0065] In the above-described embodiment, the performance DB 121 does not store the body data of the users who have received the treatment separately for each type of treatment, but may store the body data of the users for each type of treatment. In this case, the memory 12 that stores the performance DB 121 is an example of a storage unit that stores, for each type of treatment, the pairs of pre-operative body data and post-operative body data for a plurality of users who have received the treatment.

[0066] Further, the display device 2 may receive an input of the type of treatment desired from the new user and transmit the information of the selected type, for example, together with the new body data to the server device 1. In this case, the reception unit 112 realized by the processor 11 of the server device 1 only needs to receive the input of the type of treatment selected by the new user. That is, this reception unit 112 in the modification example is an example of a reception unit that receives the input of the type of treatment selected by the new user.

[0067] Also, in this case, the acquisition unit 111 realized by the processor 11 of the server device 1 may acquire, from the performance DB 121, for each type of treatment, the pairs of pre-operative body data and post-operative body data for a plurality of users who have already received the treatment. This acquisition unit 111 is an example of an acquisition unit that acquires, for each type of treatment, the pairs of pre-operative body data indicating the body before the treatment and post-operative body data indicating the body after the treatment for a plurality of users who have received the treatment.

[0068] And in this case, the extraction unit 113 realized by the processor 11 of the server device 1 compares the pre-treatment body data with the new body data for users who have received the type of treatment selected by the new user. Then, based on the result of the comparison, the extraction unit 113 may extract one or more users whose body shape before receiving the type of treatment selected by the new user is similar to the body shape of the new user. That is, this extraction unit 113 is an example of an extraction unit that extracts one or more users who have received the type of treatment selected by the new user from among a plurality of users.

[0069] In the above-described embodiment, the performance DB 121 does not store the data indicating the items of the body separately for each part of the body, but it may store the data separately for each part of the body. In this case, the display device 2 may receive an input of a part of the new user's body that the new user is concerned about and transmit information about the input part to the server device 1. In this case, the reception unit 112 realized by the processor 11 of the server device 1 may receive an input of the part specified by the new user. That is, this reception unit 112 in the modification example is an example of a reception unit that receives an input of a part of the body specified by the new user.

[0070] Also, in this case, the extraction unit 113 realized by the processor 11 of the server device 1 compares the pre-treatment body data with the new body data only with respect to the part specified by the new user, and based on the result of the comparison, extracts one or more users whose body shape before the treatment with respect to the above-described part is similar to the body shape of the new user indicated by the received new body data. That is, this extraction unit 113 in the modification example is an example of an extraction unit that extracts one or more users whose body shape before the treatment is similar to that of the new user from among a plurality of users with respect to a part.

[0071] Also, in this case, the display instruction unit 114 may generate an image group showing only the above-described part of the body at each time point from the pre-treatment body data and the post-treatment body data of the extracted one or more users, and instruct the display device 2 to display this in a comparable manner. In response to this instruction, the processor 21 of the display device 2 may cause the display unit 25 to display the transmitted image group in a comparable manner. That is, in this modification, the display instruction unit 114, the processor 21, and the display unit 25 in the display device 2 are examples of a display unit that displays images showing the above-described part of the pre-treatment body and the post-treatment body of the extracted one or more users in a comparable manner.

[0072] In the above-described embodiment, the display device 2 displayed the image group transmitted and instructed by the server device 1 in a comparable manner. In addition to this, information indicating the state of the user's cellulite may also be displayed. Here, "cellulite" refers to a tissue in the subcutaneous tissue in which waste products, moisture, etc. adhere to fat cells floating away from blood vessels. The processor 11 of the server device 1 measures or estimates the state of this cellulite, such as its volume, thickness, moisture content, waste material amount, etc., based on the acquired body data. Then, the display instruction unit 114 realized by the processor 11 may transmit information indicating the measured or estimated state of the cellulite to the display device 2.

[0073] The display device 2 may display the state of the cellulite for at least any one of the body of a new user or the pre-treatment and post-treatment bodies of the one or more users extracted by the server device 1, using the information indicating the state of the cellulite transmitted together with the image group. Therefore, in this modification, the display instruction unit 114, the processor 21, and the display unit 25 in the display device 2 are examples of a display unit that displays information indicating the state of the cellulite for at least any one of the body of a new user, the pre-treatment body of the extracted one or more users, and the post-treatment body, together with the image.

[0074] Also, the program executed by the above-described processor 11 or processor 21 causes a computer that controls a display device to function as a reception unit that receives input of new body data indicating the body of a new user, an acquisition unit that acquires, for each of a plurality of users who have received a treatment, a set of pre-treatment body data indicating the body before the treatment and post-treatment body data indicating the body after the treatment, an extraction unit that extracts one or more users from among the plurality of users whose body shapes before the treatment are similar to that of the new user, and a display instruction unit that causes the display device to display, in a comparable manner, images indicating the body before the treatment and the body after the treatment of the one or more extracted users. Further, the program executed by the above-described processor 11 or processor 21 is an example of a program for causing a computer to execute steps of storing, for each of a plurality of users who have received a treatment, pre-treatment body data indicating the body before the treatment and post-treatment body data indicating the body after the treatment, receiving input of new body data indicating the body of a new user, extracting one or more users from among the stored plurality of users whose body characteristics before the treatment are similar to those of the new user, and displaying, in association with each other, an image indicating the body before the treatment and an image indicating the body after the treatment for the one or more extracted users.

[0075] The program for executing each of the above steps can be provided in a state of being stored in a computer-readable recording medium such as a magnetic recording medium like a magnetic tape and a magnetic disk, an optical recording medium like an optical disk, a magneto-optical recording medium, and a semiconductor memory. Further, this program may be downloaded via a communication line such as the Internet.
