Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0010] <Overview of the System> Hereinafter, an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The information processing system of this embodiment is
[0011] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration example of the information processing system. The information processing system of this embodiment is configured to include a management server 2. The management server 2 is communicably connected to the user terminal 1 via a communication network. The communication network is, for example, the Internet, and is constructed by a public telephone line network, a mobile phone line network, a wireless communication path, Ethernet (registered trademark), or the like.
[0012] The user terminal 1 is a computer operated by the user. The user terminal 1 can be, for example, a smartphone, a tablet computer, a personal computer, or the like.
[0013] The management server 2 may be a general-purpose computer such as a workstation or a personal computer, or may be logically realized by cloud computing.
[0014] <Management server> FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the management server 2. Note that the illustrated configuration is an example, and it may have other configurations. The management server 2 includes a CPU 201, a memory 202, a storage device 203, a communication interface 204, an input device 205, and an output device 206. The storage device 203 stores various data and programs, and is, for example, a hard disk drive, a solid state drive, a flash memory, or the like. The communication interface 204 is an interface for connecting to the communication network 3, and is, for example, an adapter for connecting to Ethernet (registered trademark), a modem for connecting to a public telephone network, a wireless communication device for performing wireless communication, a USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector or an RS232C connector for serial communication, or the like. The input device 205 inputs data, and is, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, a button, a microphone, or the like. The output device 206 outputs data, and is, for example, a display, a printer, a speaker, or the like. Note that each functional unit of the management server 2 described later is realized by the CPU 201 reading a program stored in the storage device 203 into the memory 202 and executing it, and each storage unit of the management server 2 is realized as a part of the storage area provided by the memory 202 and the storage device 203.
[0015] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the software configuration of the management server 2. The management server 2 includes an event input unit 211, a consideration input unit 212, a basis input unit 213, a counterevidence input unit 214, an adaptive thinking input unit 215, an emotion input unit 216, a change input unit 217, a thought organization content providing unit 218, a summary input unit 219, a thought organization content storage unit 231, and a user input storage unit 232.
[0016] The event input unit 211 allows the user to input an event in which a specific subjective feeling has occurred to the user. For example, when performing cognitive therapy regarding pain, the specific subjective feeling can be pain. The event input unit 211 can, for example, display an input form to the user and have the user specifically fill in the events in which pain strongly manifested.
[0017] The thought input unit 212 allows the user to input the user's thoughts about the event (what the user thought about). When an event has occurred, the user can be made to input the thoughts at that time, enabling the user to re - recognize what the user was thinking at the time of the event occurrence. The thought input unit 212 may allow the user to input thoughts regarding the event and the emotions received by the emotion input unit 216 described later. The thought input unit 212 can allow the user to freely fill in, for example, by text input, things such as talking to oneself or feelings about the situation.
[0018] The basis input unit 213 allows the user to input the basis for the thought. The basis input unit 213 asks why the user thought that way about the thought received by the thought input unit 212. The basis input unit 213 can ask whether the user has any recollection of objective facts, evidence, etc.
[0019] The counterevidence input unit 214 allows the user to input counterevidence to the idea. The counterevidence input unit 214 can ask the user whether there are any facts that come to mind when assuming that the user's idea about the event is wrong. Note that the counterevidence input unit 214 may generate a message to assist in the input of counterevidence. The counterevidence input unit 214 can generate a message using, for example, a generator using a large language model. The counterevidence input unit 214 can generate an example of counterevidence by, for example, giving a prompt including an event such as "When going down the stairs of the station to take the train, my knees hurt so much that I couldn't walk" and an instruction to generate counterevidence for this event to the large language model. Also, a learning model storage unit that stores a learning model learned by machine learning using the counterevidence (keywords or phrases included therein) input by other users and the event (keywords or phrases included therein) as training data is provided, and the counterevidence input unit 214 can give the keywords or phrases included in the event to the learning model to obtain keywords or phrases to be used for counterevidence. The counterevidence input unit 214 can also generate an example of counterevidence by giving a prompt including the obtained keywords or phrases and an instruction to generate counterevidence for the event using these to the large language model.
[0020] The adaptive thinking input unit 215 allows the user to input adaptive thinking to replace the idea. The adaptive thinking input unit 215 can, based on the basis and counterevidence, ask the user what positive thoughts can be formed instead of the thought at the time when the event occurred, assuming that the thought at that time is not necessarily correct, and ask the user to view it positively. The adaptive thinking input unit 215 can display the event received by the event input unit 211, the basis received by the basis input unit 213, and the counterevidence received by the counterevidence input unit 214, and allow the user to input adaptive thinking.
[0021] The emotion input unit 216 allows the user to input the degree of the user's emotion (the first degree) towards an event. The emotion may include at least one of sadness, anger, and anxiety. Note that other emotions may also be accepted. The emotion input unit 216 can be configured to accept one emotion that the user feels most strongly when an event occurs. The degree of emotion (intensity) can be accepted by, for example, displaying a numerical evaluation scale on the user terminal 1 for the user to input a numerical value in 10 increments from 0 to 100. Note that the emotion input may also use an input method such as a VAS (Visual Analog Scale) or a face mark.
[0022] The change input unit 217 allows the user to input the degree of emotion (the second degree, hereinafter also referred to as an emotion change) when adaptive thinking is possible. The change input unit 217 can display the adaptive thinking received by the adaptive thinking input unit 215 and inquire of the user whether the degree of emotion is likely to change assuming that the adaptive thinking is considered. Regarding the emotion change (the second degree), for example, input can also be accepted by a numerical evaluation scale. Note that the input of the emotion change can also use an input method such as a VAS (Visual Analog Scale) or a face mark.
[0023] The thinking organization content memory unit 231 stores content for learning a method of organizing thinking. The content can include, for example, text data, image data, video data, audio data, and the like.
[0024] The thinking organization content providing unit 218 can provide the content to the user and allow the user to learn about the method of organizing thinking after the event input unit receives an event and the thought input unit receives a thought.
[0025] The summary input unit 219 allows the user to input a summary regarding the event. The summary can be, for example, what has been learned or thought of from the whole regarding the event.
[0026] The user input storage unit 232 stores information (hereinafter referred to as input information) including the content received from the user. The input information can include information for identifying the user (user ID), the update date (date) of the input information, the event received by the event input unit 211, the emotion and its intensity received by the emotion input unit 216, the thought received by the thought input unit 212, the summary received by the summary input unit 219, the basis received by the basis input unit 213, the counterevidence received by the counterevidence input unit 214, the adaptive thinking received by the adaptive thinking input unit 215, and the second intensity (emotion change) received by the change input unit 217. The input information stored in the user input storage unit 232 may be provided to medical workers such as doctors and nurses, for example, or may be made available for the user to confirm later, or may be provided to other users designated by the user.
