[0009] (First embodiment) The first embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings: Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the system configuration of a condition improvement system according to the first embodiment.

[0010] The condition improvement system 100 of this embodiment includes a condition improvement device 200 and a terminal device 300. In the condition improvement system 100, the condition improvement device 200 and the terminal device 300 are connected via the Internet or the like. Furthermore, the terminal device 300 may communicate with the wearable terminal 400, for example, via Bluetooth (registered trademark) or the like.

[0011] In the condition improvement system 100 of this embodiment, the terminal device 300 acquires biological information of the user of the terminal device 300 from the wearable terminal 400 and transmits it to the condition improvement device 200.

[0012] In this embodiment, the wearable terminal 400 is worn by, for example, a user who uses the condition improvement system 100. The wearable terminal 400 also has a biosensor, which acquires biometric information of the user wearing the wearable terminal 400 and transmits it to the terminal device 300. The biometric information in this embodiment includes, for example, information indicating the user's heart rate, pulse, blood pressure, body temperature, and body movement.

[0013] The biological information may also include information on the facial expression, temperature distribution on the face, voice, blinking, eye movement, etc. of the user of the terminal device 300. The information on the facial expression, temperature distribution on the face, voice, blinking, eye movement of the user of the terminal device 300 may be acquired based on a face image of the user captured by an imaging device included in the terminal device 300.

[0014] The terminal device 300 of this embodiment may be, for example, a smartphone or a tablet computer, a notebook personal computer, or a desktop personal computer.

[0015] The condition improvement device 200 of this embodiment includes an improvement plan database 210, a user database 220, a history database 230, and a condition improvement unit 240.

[0016] The improvement measure database 210 stores improvement measure information indicating various improvement measures according to the user's condition. The user database 220 stores user information indicating the attributes of the user of the terminal device 300. In this embodiment, the user of the terminal device 300 is, in other words, a subject for whom a determination is made as to whether or not improvement of the condition is necessary based on biometric information. The history database 230 stores, for each user, history information indicating the history of processing by the condition improvement unit 240. Details of each database will be described later.

[0017] The condition improvement unit 240 of this embodiment estimates the user's condition based on the biometric information acquired from the terminal device 300. Specifically, the condition improvement unit 240 calculates index values ​​indicating the degree of the user's condition indicated by each of a plurality of items indicating the user's condition, and estimates the user's condition according to the index values ​​of each item.

[0018] Then, the condition improvement unit 240 determines whether the estimated user condition requires improvement, and if it is determined that improvement is required, it refers to the improvement measure database 210, selects an improvement measure corresponding to the user condition, and displays it on the terminal device 300. In other words, the condition improvement unit 240 presents the user with an improvement measure for improving the user condition.

[0019] In addition, the condition improvement unit 240 of this embodiment stores information including index values ​​of multiple items indicating the user's condition, the results of estimating the user's condition, and improvement measures presented to the user as history information in the history database 230.

[0020] In this manner, in this embodiment, it is determined whether the user's condition estimated from the biometric information is one that requires improvement, and in accordance with the determination result, improvement measures appropriate for the user's condition are presented to the user. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to support the improvement of the user's condition.

[0021] In the example of Figure 1, the condition improvement system 100 includes one terminal device 300, but the number of terminal devices 300 included in the condition improvement system 100 is not limited to this and may be any number.

[0022] 1, the status improvement device 200 has the improvement measure database 210, the user database 220, and the history database 230, but is not limited to this. The improvement measure database 210, the user database 220, and the history database 230 may be provided in part or in whole in a device other than the status improvement device 200. Furthermore, the status improvement device 200 may be realized by multiple information processing devices. In other words, the function of the status improvement unit 240 may be realized by multiple information processing devices.

[0023] Next, the hardware configuration of the condition improvement device 200 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the condition improvement device.

[0024] The condition improvement device 200 of this embodiment includes a processor 201, a memory 202, an auxiliary storage device 203, an I / F (Interface) device 204, a communication device 205, and a drive device 206. The hardware components included in the condition improvement device 200 are connected to each other via a bus 207.

[0025] The processor 201 has various arithmetic devices such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), etc. The processor 201 reads various programs (for example, a condition improvement program, etc.) into the memory 202 and executes them.

[0026] The memory 202 has a main storage device such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), etc. The processor 201 and the memory 202 form a so-called computer, and the processor 201 executes various programs read onto the memory 202, causing the computer to realize the various functional units described above.

[0027] The auxiliary storage device 203 stores various programs and various information used when the various programs are executed by the processor 201. For example, the improvement plan database 210, the user database 220, and the history database 230 are realized by the auxiliary storage device 203.

[0028] The I / F device 204 is a connection device that connects to the operation device 261, the display device 262, etc. The I / F device 204 accepts operations by an administrator (not shown) of the status improvement device 200 via the operation device 261. The I / F device 204 also outputs processing results and displays them to the administrator of the status improvement device 200 via the display device 262.

[0029] The communication unit 205 is a communication device for communicating with an external device 265 via a network 264 .

[0030] The drive device 206 is a device for loading a recording medium 263. The recording medium 263 here includes media that record information optically, electrically, or magnetically, such as a CD-ROM, a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, etc. The recording medium 263 may also include semiconductor memories that record information electrically, such as ROMs, flash memories, etc.

[0031] The various programs to be installed in the auxiliary storage device 203 are installed, for example, by setting the distributed recording medium 263 in the drive device 206 and reading out the various programs recorded on the recording medium 263 by the drive device 206. Alternatively, the various programs to be installed in the auxiliary storage device 203 may be installed by being downloaded from the network 264 via the communication device 205. The hardware configuration of the terminal device 300 may be the same as that shown in FIG. 2, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0032] Next, each database of the condition improvement device 200 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0033] 3 is a diagram showing an example of the improvement measure database according to the first embodiment. The improvement measure database 210 according to this embodiment is stored in advance in the status improvement device 200 by an administrator of the status improvement device 200 or the like.

[0034] The improvement measure database 210 of this embodiment may be provided for each of a plurality of items indicating the user's state. More specifically, the improvement measure database 210 may be provided for each of the plurality of items indicating the user's state that indicates a state that is the target of a determination as to whether or not improvement is required, among the plurality of items indicating the user's state. In the example of FIG. 3 , the plurality of items indicating the user's state that indicates a state that is the target of a determination as to whether or not improvement is required are "fatigue," "tension," "drowsiness," "concentration," and "relaxation." The improvement measure database 210 corresponding to the item "fatigue" is referred to as improvement measure database 210-1, the improvement measure database 210 corresponding to the item "tension" is referred to as improvement measure database 210-2, the improvement measure database 210 corresponding to the item "drowsiness" is referred to as improvement measure database 210-3, the improvement measure database 210 corresponding to the item "concentration" is referred to as improvement measure database 210-4, and the improvement measure database 210 corresponding to the item "relaxation" is referred to as improvement measure database 210-5.

[0035] In other words, the remedy database 210 includes remedy databases 210-1, 210-2, 210-3, and 210-4 corresponding to the items "fatigue," "tension," "drowsiness," and "concentration," respectively.

[0036] The improvement information stored in each of the improvement databases 210-1, 210-2, 210-3, and 210-4 includes, as information items, items indicating the user's status, index values ​​corresponding to the items, and improvement measures associated with each index value, which are all associated with each other.

[0037] For example, improvement measure database 210-1 stores improvement measure information for the item "fatigue" associated with an index value indicating the degree of fatigue, and improvement measure database 210-2 stores improvement measure information for the item "tension" associated with an index value indicating the degree of tension. Furthermore, improvement measure database 210-3 stores improvement measure information for the item "drowsiness" associated with an index value indicating the degree of drowsiness, and improvement measure database 210-4 stores improvement measure information for the item "concentration" associated with an index value indicating the degree of concentration. Furthermore, improvement measure database 210-5 stores improvement measure information for the item "relaxation" associated with an index value indicating the degree of relaxation.

[0038] Note that the remedy database 210 shown in Fig. 3 is one example of how remedy information is stored, and the remedy information of this embodiment is not limited to the example shown in Fig. 3. Furthermore, the multiple items indicating the user's status may include an item "normal" as an item indicating a status that is not subject to the determination of the need for improvement. The item "normal" will be described in detail later.

[0039] 4 is a diagram showing an example of the user database of the first embodiment. The user database 220 of this embodiment may be stored in the condition improvement device 200 in advance by an administrator of the condition improvement device 200 or the like.

[0040] The user database 220 includes information items such as a user ID, name, age, occupation, email address, and biometric information, and the item "user ID" is associated with other items. The user information of this embodiment is information that includes the value of the item "user ID" and the values ​​of the other items in the user database 220. In other words, the user information is information that indicates the attributes of a user.

[0041] The value of the item "User ID" is identification information for identifying the user of the terminal device 300. The values ​​of the items "Name," "Age," "Occupation," and "Email Address" indicate the name, age, occupation, and email address of the user identified by the user ID.

[0042] The value of the item "biometric information" indicates the biometric information acquired from the user identified by the user ID. The biometric information may be stored in a storage device such as the auxiliary storage device 203 of the condition improvement device 200, or may be stored in a storage device provided outside the condition improvement device 200.

[0043] Note that Fig. 4 is an example of user information indicating user attributes, and is not limited to the example shown in Fig. 4. The information indicating user attributes may include items other than those shown in Fig. 4, or may include some of the items shown in Fig. 4. Specifically, the user database 220 may include items indicating user preferences, etc.

[0044] 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the history database according to the first embodiment. The history database 230 according to this embodiment may accumulate history information each time a process is executed by the status improvement unit 240. Furthermore, the history database 230 may be provided for each user.

[0045] The history database 230 of this embodiment includes information items such as a user ID, processing date and time, index value, estimation result, necessity of improvement, improvement measure information, improvement rate, etc., and the item "user ID" is associated with other items. The history information of this embodiment is information in the history database 230 that includes the value of the item "user ID" and the values ​​of the other items.

[0046] The value of the item "User ID" is identification information for identifying the user, and the value of the item "Processing Date and Time" indicates the date and time when the processing was performed by the status improvement unit 240. In other words, the value of the item "Processing Date and Time" includes the date and time when the user's status was estimated and the date and time when improvement information was presented to the user.

[0047] The value of the item "index value" is a value calculated based on biological information and indicates the degree of the user's state, and is associated with the items "fatigue," "tension," "drowsiness," "concentration," and "normal." The items "fatigue," "tension," "drowsiness," "concentration," and "normal" are examples of multiple items that indicate the user's state.

[0048] The value of the item "Fatigue" is an index value calculated based on biometric information and indicates the user's degree of fatigue, with a larger value indicating a more tired user. The value of the item "Tension" is an index value calculated based on biometric information and indicates a more tense user, with a larger value indicating a more tense user.

[0049] The value of the item "Drowsiness" is an index value calculated based on biometric information that indicates the user's level of drowsiness, with a larger value indicating that the user is feeling more drowsy. The value of the item "Concentration" is an index value calculated based on biometric information that indicates the user's level of concentration, with a larger value indicating that the user is more concentrated and a smaller value indicating that the user is more distracted.

[0050] The value of the item "normal" is an index value calculated based on biometric information that indicates the degree to which the user is normal, and the larger the value, the more normal the user is. In other words, a user being in a normal state means that the user's state is not a state of fatigue, tension, drowsiness, or concentration, and can also be said to be a state in which the user is relaxed.

[0051] The value of the item "Estimation result" indicates the estimation result of the user's condition based on each index value. The value of the item "Improvement required" indicates the result of determining whether the user's condition is in a state requiring improvement. Specifically, if the value of the item "Improvement required" is "required", it indicates that the user's condition is in a state requiring improvement, and if the value of the item "Improvement required" is "no", it indicates that the user's condition is in a state not requiring improvement.

[0052] The value of the "improvement information" item indicates the improvement information presented to the user. The value of the "improvement rate" item indicates the result of comparing the user's condition before the improvement information was proposed with the user's condition after the improvement information was presented. In other words, the value of the "improvement rate" item indicates the percentage by which the user's condition improved by presenting the improvement information to the user.

[0053] It should be noted that FIG. 5 is an example of history information, and the information items included in the history information are not limited to the example of FIG.

[0054] Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the functions of each device included in the condition improvement system 100 of this embodiment will be described.

[0055] 6 is a diagram illustrating the functions of each device included in the condition improvement system of the first embodiment. First, the function of the condition improvement device 200 will be described.

[0056] The condition improvement unit 240 of the condition improvement device 200 of this embodiment includes an input receiving unit 241, an output unit 242, a storage control unit 243, a condition estimation unit 244, a necessity determination unit 245, an improvement measure selection unit 246, an improvement measure acquisition unit 247, and a performance recording unit 248.

[0057] The input receiving unit 241 receives input of various information to the condition improvement device 200. Specifically, the input receiving unit 241 receives input of biometric information from the terminal device 300. The output unit 242 outputs various information from the condition improvement device 200. Specifically, the output unit 242 outputs improvement measure information selected by the improvement measure selection unit 246 to the terminal device 300. Furthermore, the output unit 242 of this embodiment may apply the improvement measure information acquired by the improvement measure acquisition unit 247 to a prepared sentence template or the like to convert it into natural sentences and output it to the terminal device 300.

[0058] The storage control unit 243 controls the storage of various types of information. Specifically, the storage control unit 243 manages the storage of the biometric information input by the input receiving unit 241.

[0059] The state estimation unit 244 estimates the state of the user based on the biometric information. Specifically, the state estimation unit 244 calculates index values ​​for each item indicating the state of the user multiple times based on the biometric information, and calculates the average value of the index values ​​for each item. Next, the state improvement unit 240 estimates the state corresponding to the item with the largest average value among the average values ​​of the index values ​​for each item as the state of the user. Details of the processing by the state estimation unit 244 will be described later.

[0060] The necessity determination unit 245 determines whether or not the user's state estimated by the state estimation unit 244 is a state that requires improvement. Specifically, the necessity determination unit 245 determines that the state requires improvement when the index value of the item identified by the state estimation unit 244 is equal to or greater than a preset threshold.

[0061] The improvement measure selection unit 246 of this embodiment includes an improvement rate calculation unit 251 and a priority assignment unit 252. The improvement rate calculation unit 251 calculates an improvement rate of the user's condition for each piece of improvement measure information previously presented to the user. The improvement rate is calculated by comparing an estimation result of the user's condition before the improvement measure information was presented to the user with an estimation result of the user's condition after the improvement measure information was presented to the user, and can be said to be a value indicating the degree of improvement of the user's condition as a result of the presentation of the improvement measure information.

[0062] The priority assigning unit 252 assigns a priority to the improvement measure information in accordance with the improvement rate calculated by the improvement rate calculating unit 251 for each improvement measure information.

[0063] The remedy selection unit 246 of this embodiment refers to the user database 220 and selects remedy information to be presented this time based on priority from among remedy information different from the remedy information presented to the user last time. Details of the processing by the remedy selection unit 246 will be described later.

[0064] The improvement measure acquisition unit 247 acquires the improvement measure information selected by the improvement measure selection unit 246 from the improvement measure database 210 .

[0065] The result recording unit 248 reflects the processing results of the state estimation unit 244, the necessity determination unit 245, and the improvement measure selection unit 246 in the history database 230. In other words, the result recording unit 248 stores history information including at least one of the estimation result by the state estimation unit 244, the determination result by the necessity determination unit 245, and the selection result by the improvement measure selection unit 246 in the history database 230.

[0066] Next, a description will be given of the functions of the terminal device 300. The terminal device 300 includes a communication unit 330, an information acquisition unit 340, and a display control unit 350.

[0067] The communication unit 330 controls communication between the terminal device 300 and an external device. Specifically, the communication unit 330 controls communication between the terminal device 300 and the condition improvement device 200, and communication between the terminal device 300 and the wearable terminal 400.

[0068] The information acquisition unit 340 acquires biometric information of the user of the terminal device 300. Specifically, the information acquisition unit 340 acquires biometric information received from the wearable terminal 400 via the communication unit 330. The information acquisition unit 340 may also acquire image data from an imaging device or the like included in the terminal device 300, and use the image data as the biometric information.

[0069] The display control unit 350 controls the display on a display device (display) included in the terminal device 300. Specifically, the display control unit 350 causes the display device included in the terminal device 300 to display the improvement measure information received from the condition improvement device 200.

[0070] Next, the operation of the condition improvement system 100 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a sequence diagram illustrating the operation of the condition improvement system of the first embodiment.

[0071] In the condition improvement system 100 of this embodiment, the terminal device 300 acquires the user's biological information from the wearable device 400 via the information acquisition unit 340 (step S701). Next, the terminal device 300 transmits the acquired biological information to the condition improvement device 200 via the communication unit 330 (step S702). At this time, the terminal device 300 associates the user ID linked to the terminal device 300 with the biological information and transmits it to the condition improvement device 200.

[0072] When the input receiving unit 241 of the condition improvement device 200 receives input of biometric information from the terminal device 300, the storage control unit 243 associates the biometric information with the user ID and stores it in the user database 220 (step S703).

[0073] Next, the condition improvement device 200 estimates the user's condition using the biometric information using the condition estimation unit 244 (step S704). Next, the condition improvement device 200 determines whether the estimated condition requires improvement using the necessity determination unit 245 (step S705). Details of the processing by the condition estimation unit 244 and the necessity determination unit 245 will be described later.

[0074] FIG. 7 shows the operation of the condition improvement system 100 when it is determined in step S705 that the estimated condition is one that requires improvement.

[0075] If it is determined that the estimated condition is a condition requiring improvement, the condition improvement device 200 selects improvement measure information corresponding to the estimated condition by the improvement measure selection unit 246 (step S706). The improvement measure selection unit 246 will be described in detail later.

[0076] Next, the status improvement device 200 causes the improvement acquisition unit 247 to acquire the improvement information selected by the improvement selection unit 246 from the improvement database 210 (step S707).

[0077] Next, the status improvement device 200 transmits the acquired improvement measure information to the terminal device 300 via the output unit 242 (step S708). At this time, the output unit 242 may output the acquired improvement measure information to the terminal device 300 as text data in which the improvement measure information is applied to a template of a sentence including the user's status. Therefore, information indicating the user's status and the improvement measure information may be transmitted to the terminal device 300.

[0078] When the terminal device 300 receives the remedial action information via the communication unit 330, the display control unit 350 causes the display device to display the remedial action information (step S709).

[0079] Furthermore, when the status improvement device 200 transmits the improvement measure information to the terminal device 300, the result recording unit 248 stores history information including the estimation result by the status estimation unit 244, the determination result by the necessity determination unit 245, and the improvement measure information transmitted to the terminal device 300 in the history database 230 (step S710). In other words, the status improvement device 200 records the results of presenting the improvement measure information in the history database 230. Note that, when the improvement measure information is not transmitted to the terminal device 300, the result recording unit 248 stores history information including the estimation result by the status estimation unit 244 and the determination result by the necessity determination unit 245 in the history database 230.

[0080] Next, the processing of the state estimation unit 244 and the necessity determination unit 245 will be described with reference to Fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a flowchart illustrating the processing of the state estimation unit and the necessity determination unit. Fig. 8 shows details of step S704 and step S705 in Fig. 7.

[0081] The state estimation unit 244 of the state improvement device 200 of this embodiment extracts biological information acquired over a certain period of time from the user database 220 (step S801). Specifically, for example, the state estimation unit 244 acquires biological information extracted over a period of five minutes.

[0082] Next, in steps S802 to S805, the condition improvement unit 240 calculates an index value for each of a plurality of items indicating the user's condition from the extracted biometric information.

[0083] The state estimation unit 244 of this embodiment calculates the degree of each item using the heart rate included in the biological information.

[0084] The state estimation unit 244 calculates an index value for the item "fatigue" from the biological information extracted in step S801 (step S802). The calculated index value for each item is stored in the history database 230 by the performance recording unit 248.

[0085] In this embodiment, for example, the state estimation unit 244 calculates an average value of the heart rates included in the biological information extracted in step S801, and compares the calculated average value with the average value calculated the previous time. Then, the fatigue index value may be calculated so that the greater the currently calculated average value of the heart rate is compared to the previously calculated average value of the heart rate, the greater the value becomes.

[0086] Next, the state estimation unit 244 calculates an index value for the item "tension" from the biological information extracted in step S801 (step S803).

[0087] The state estimation unit 244 of this embodiment may calculate an index value of the user's tension, for example, according to the heart rate included in the biological information. In this embodiment, the calculated index value of the tension may be larger as the user is more tense.

[0088] Next, the state estimation unit 244 calculates an index value for the item "drowsiness" from the biological information extracted in step S801 (step S804).

[0089] The state estimation unit 244 of this embodiment may, for example, convert fluctuations in heartbeat intervals included in the biological information into frequencies and calculate the index value of the user's drowsiness based on the fluctuations in the frequencies. In this embodiment, the calculated drowsiness index value may be larger as the user's drowsiness increases.

[0090] Next, the state estimation unit 244 calculates an index value for the item "concentration" from the biological information extracted in step S801 (step S805).

[0091] The state estimation unit 244 of this embodiment may calculate an index value of the user's concentration based on, for example, time-series data of heart rate fluctuations acquired from biological information. In this embodiment, the index value of concentration may be calculated so that the more concentrated the user is, the larger the value becomes, and the more distracted the user is, the smaller the value becomes. Next, the state estimation unit 244 calculates an index value for the item "relaxation" from the biological information extracted in step S801 (step S806). The state estimation unit 244 of this embodiment may, for example, convert the fluctuation in the interval between heartbeats included in the biological information into a frequency, and calculate an index value of the user's laxity based on this frequency fluctuation and the user's posture, movement, etc. In this embodiment, the index value of laxity may be calculated so that the longer the time the user is in a sitting position or the longer the time the user is repeating monotonous movements, the larger the value becomes.

[0092] Next, the state estimation unit 244 calculates an index value for the item "normal" from the biological information extracted in step S801 (step S807).

[0093] The state estimation unit 244 of this embodiment may calculate a normal index value of the user by using, for example, high-frequency fluctuation components and low-frequency components of the heart rate fluctuation time-series data acquired from biological information. In this embodiment, the normal index value may be calculated so that the value becomes larger as the user maintains a more normal state.

[0094] The order in which the index values ​​of each item are calculated is not limited to the order shown in Fig. 8, and the calculations may be performed in any order. The above-described method for calculating the index values ​​of each item is an example, and the method is not limited to this. Furthermore, the process of calculating the index values ​​of each item may be performed in parallel after the biometric information is acquired in step S801.

[0095] Furthermore, the index values ​​of each item in this embodiment may be values ​​that have been processed so that their magnitude relationships can be compared on the same axis.

[0096] Next, the state estimation unit 244 determines whether the number of times that the index value of each item has been calculated has reached a predetermined number (step S808). In other words, the state estimation unit 244 determines whether a predetermined period has elapsed since the acquisition of the user's biometric information started.

[0097] In step S808, if the number of times the index value has been calculated is less than the predetermined number of times, the process returns to step S802.

[0098] In step S808, if the number of times that the index values ​​have been calculated reaches a predetermined number, the predetermined period has elapsed, and the state estimation unit 244 calculates the average value of the index values ​​for each index value (step S809).

[0099] More specifically, the state estimation unit 244 extracts biometric information every 5 minutes, for example, and calculates the index value for each item. When the index value has been calculated 12 times, the state estimation unit 244 calculates the average value of the 12 calculated index values.

[0100] In this way, the average value of the index value for each item is calculated, thereby calculating the index value for each item indicating the user's state for each 60-minute period.

[0101] Next, the state estimation unit 244 identifies the item with the largest average index value calculated in step S809 among the items indicating the user's state, and determines the state indicated by this item as the result of estimating the user's state (step S810).

[0102] Specifically, for example, if the average value of the fatigue index value is the largest among the average values ​​of the index values ​​calculated in step S809, the state estimation unit 244 estimates the user's state to be a fatigued state. Also, for example, if the average value of the drowsiness index value is the largest among the average values ​​of the index values ​​calculated in step S809, the state estimation unit 244 estimates the user's state to be a very drowsy state. Also, for example, if the average value of the normal index value is the largest among the average values ​​of the index values ​​calculated in step S809, the state estimation unit 244 estimates the user's state to be a normal state.

[0103] Next, the state estimation unit 244 determines whether the result of estimation in step S810 is other than the normal state (step S811). In other words, the state estimation unit 244 determines whether the user's state is a state that is a target for determining whether improvement is necessary. Note that in this embodiment, if the user's state is a normal state, it is not a target for determining whether improvement is necessary.

[0104] In step S811, if the estimation result is a normal state, the state estimation unit 244 proceeds to step S710 in Fig. 7. In step S710, the performance recorder 248 stores in the history database 230 history information in which the value of the item "estimation result" is "normal."

[0105] In this embodiment, for example, if the number of pieces of biometric information data acquired in step S801 is insufficient and the average value of the index values ​​of each item cannot be calculated, the estimation result may be set to be the normal state. Also, in this embodiment, if the number of pieces of biometric information data is insufficient, history information indicating this may be generated and stored in the history database 230.

[0106] In step S811, if the result of the estimation is other than the normal state, that is, if the user's state is subject to a judgment as to whether improvement is necessary, the state improvement device 200, using the necessity judgment unit 245, judges whether the average value of the index values ​​of the items identified in step S810 is equal to or greater than a preset threshold value (step S812).

[0107] Here, the preset threshold value may be set for each item by an administrator of the condition improvement device 200 or the like, and is used to determine whether the user's condition indicated by each item is a condition that requires improvement. Therefore, in step S812, in other words, the necessity determination unit 245 determines whether the user's condition requires improvement.

[0108] In step S812, if the average value of the index values ​​of the items identified in step S810 is less than a preset threshold, the necessity determining unit 245 determines that the user's condition does not require improvement, and the process proceeds to step S710 in Fig. 7. In step S710, the performance recording unit 248 stores in the history database 230 history information in which the value of the item "estimation result" is the condition estimated in step S810, and the value of the item "improvement required" is "no."

[0109] In step S812, if the average value of the index values ​​of the items identified in step S810 is equal to or greater than a preset threshold, the necessity determining unit 245 instructs the improvement measure selecting unit 246 to select improvement measure information (step S813), and the process proceeds to step S706 in Fig. 7. In step S706 in Fig. 7, processing is performed by the improvement measure selecting unit 246.

[0110] Next, the processing of the improvement measure selection unit 246 will be described with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the processing of the improvement measure selection unit 246. Fig. 9 shows details of step S706 in Fig. 7.

[0111] The improvement measure selection unit 246 of this embodiment, when instructed to select improvement measure information by the necessity determination unit 245, identifies the user's state to be improved (step S901). In other words, the improvement measure selection unit 246 determines the state indicated by the item identified in step S810 of Fig. 8 as the state to be improved.

[0112] Next, the remedy selection unit 246 refers to the history database 230 and determines whether the user has been determined to be in the same state as the state identified in step S901 in the past (step S902).

[0113] In step S902, if the user has not previously been determined to be in the same state as the state identified in step S901, the remedy selection unit 246 proceeds to step S907, which will be described later.

[0114] In step S902, if the user has been determined to be in the same state as the state identified in step S901 in the past, the improvement measure selection unit 246 refers to the history database 230 and extracts improvement measure information presented to the user in the state identified in step S901 (step S903). Subsequently, the improvement measure selection unit 246 causes the improvement rate calculation unit 251 to calculate an improvement rate for each of the extracted improvement measure information (step S904).

[0115] Specifically, the improvement rate calculation unit 251 compares the index values ​​of the items indicating the state identified in step S901 before the improvement information is presented with the index values ​​after the improvement information is presented, and calculates the improvement rate using the difference in the index values.

[0116] Next, the improvement measure selection unit 246 assigns priorities to the extracted improvement measure information based on the improvement rate for each improvement measure information using the priority assignment unit 252 (step S905). Next, the improvement measure selection unit 246 selects the improvement measure information with the highest priority from the improvement measure information extracted in step S903, other than the improvement measure information presented immediately before (step S906).

[0117] Furthermore, in step S902, if the user has not previously been determined to be in the same state as the state identified in step S901, the remedy selection unit 246 refers to the remedy database 210 and extracts remedy information corresponding to the user's state (step S907). Subsequently, the remedy selection unit 246 selects remedy information from the extracted remedy information based on the index value indicating the state (step S908). Note that, although the improvement measure selection unit 246 of the present embodiment assigns priorities based on the improvement rate for each improvement measure information, this is not limiting. The improvement measure selection unit 246 may assign priorities to improvement measure information associated with the user's condition according to the degree of the user's condition, and the improvement measure selection unit 246 may select improvement measure information according to the priorities.

[0118] 8 and 9 will be specifically described with reference to Fig. 5. The condition improvement device 200 of this embodiment acquires, for example, biometric information of a user identified by a user ID "101" from the terminal device 300 and stores it in the user database 220.

[0119] Here, the state estimation unit 244 extracts, for example, biological information acquired for five minutes from 9:30 at 9:35 on December 5, 2022. Then, the state estimation unit 244 calculates index values ​​for each of fatigue, tension, drowsiness, concentration, relaxation, and normality from the extracted biological information. In the example of FIG. 5, the index values ​​for fatigue, tension, drowsiness, and relaxation are each "1," the index value for concentration is "3," and the index value for normality is "4."

[0120] At this time, the number of times that the index value for each item has been calculated has not reached the predetermined number of times. Therefore, the value of the item "Estimation result" is not stored in the history database 230, and the state estimation unit 244 extracts the biometric information acquired over the next five minutes and repeats the calculation of the index value for each item.

[0121] Furthermore, at 10:35 on December 5, 2022, the state estimation unit 244 extracts biological information acquired over a five-minute period from 10:30, and calculates index values ​​for each of fatigue, tension, drowsiness, concentration, relaxation, and normal. At this time, the number of times that the index value for each item has been calculated is 12, which is the predetermined number of times, so the state estimation unit 244 calculates the average value of each of the index values ​​for fatigue, tension, drowsiness, concentration, relaxation, and normal for the 12 calculations.

[0122] Next, the state estimation unit 244 identifies the item with the largest average value, and the necessity determination unit 245 determines whether the index value of the identified item is equal to or greater than a threshold value. In the example of FIG. 5, the item with the largest average index value at 10:35 on December 5, 2022 is "tension." Therefore, the state estimation unit 244 estimates that the user's state is a tense state. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 5, "tension" is stored in the history database 230 as the estimation result of the state estimation unit 244 at 10:35 on December 5, 2022. At this time, the performance recording unit 248 may store the average index values ​​of the items identified as the user's state as part of the estimation result.

[0123] The necessity determining unit 245 determines whether the average value of the index values ​​for the item "tension" is equal to or greater than the threshold value. Here, it is assumed that the average value of the index values ​​for the item "tension" is equal to or greater than the threshold value.

[0124] Therefore, the necessity determination unit 245 determines that the user's condition is one that requires improvement, sets the value of the item "improvement necessary" at 10:35 on December 5, 2022 to "needed," and instructs the improvement measure selection unit 246 to select improvement measure information. In the example of Fig. 5, the value of the item "improvement necessary" at 10:35 on December 5, 2022 is set to "needed."

[0125] The improvement measure selection unit 246 receives an instruction to select an improvement measure and selects improvement measure information. Specifically, the improvement measure selection unit 246 uses the improvement rate calculation unit 251 to refer to the history database 230 identified by the user ID "101," extracts improvement measure information presented in the past for states of tension, and calculates the improvement rate for each improvement measure information. Then, the improvement measure selection unit 246 uses the priority assignment unit 252 to assign priorities to the improvement measure information in descending order of improvement rate.

[0126] For example, suppose a user identified by user ID "101" has been judged to be in a "tense state" and in need of improvement three times in the past, and the improvement measures presented at those times were "take deep breaths," "massage above the ears, temples, and back of the head," and "listen to music."

[0127] In this case, the improvement rate calculation unit 251 calculates the improvement rate for these three pieces of improvement measure information by comparing the index value of the item "tension" before the improvement measure information was presented with the index value of the item "tension" after the improvement measure information was presented. Here, it is assumed that the improvement rate for the improvement measure information "deep breathing" was the highest, and the improvement rate for the improvement measure information "massage above the ears, temples, and back of the head" was the next highest.

[0128] Therefore, the priority assigning unit 252 assigns priorities to the three pieces of remedial action information in the order of "deep breathing," "massage above the ears, temples, and back of the head," and "listen to music."

[0129] Here, the remedy selection unit 246 selects the remedy information with the highest priority from among the remedy information other than the remedy information presented to the user immediately before.

[0130] Here, it is assumed that the remedy information presented to the user immediately before is "deep breathing." In this case, the remedy selection unit 246 selects the remedy information "massage above the ears, temples, and back of the head" which has a higher priority from the remedy information "massage above the ears, temples, and back of the head" and "listen to music."

[0131] In the example of Figure 5, it can be seen that the improvement measure information "Massage above the ears, temples, and back of the head" was selected and presented to the user at 10:35 on December 5, 2022.

[0132] In this embodiment, by estimating the user's state using a plurality of items, it is possible to improve the accuracy of estimating the user's state.

[0133] In this embodiment, by selecting improvement information based on past actual machine use, it is possible to present each user with improvement information that is likely to be effective. Also, according to this embodiment, it is possible to prevent each user from being repeatedly presented with the same improvement information, so that the user does not get bored.

[0134] Next, examples of the display of the terminal device 300 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 10 to Fig. 12. Fig. 10 is a first diagram showing an example of the display of the terminal device of the first embodiment.

[0135] The example of Fig. 10 shows a case where the terminal device 300 is a smartphone. A screen 301 shown in Fig. 10 has a display area 302, in which a message including improvement measure information transmitted from the condition improvement device 200 and information indicating the user's condition is displayed.

[0136] In FIG. 10, a message is displayed in the display area 302 saying, "You seem tense. Massage the areas above your ears, temples, and back of your head."

[0137] Therefore, according to this embodiment, the user can be made aware of his / her own condition, and further, according to this embodiment, the user can be prompted to take action to improve the condition.

[0138] Furthermore, the display area 302 of this embodiment may be displayed on the terminal device 300 in a pop-up format, for example, when improvement measure information is transmitted from the status improvement device 200 to the terminal device 300. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when improvement measure information is transmitted from the status improvement device 200 to the terminal device 300, a notification indicating that the improvement measure information has been received is displayed on the terminal device 300, and the display area 302 may be displayed when the user performs an operation to select the notification. Furthermore, the display area 302A may be displayed using, for example, a notification function of an application installed in advance on the terminal device 300.

[0139] 11 is a second diagram showing a display example of the terminal device of the first embodiment. In the example of Fig. 11, the terminal device 300 is a notebook personal computer.

[0140] A screen 301A shown in FIG. 11 has a display area 302A, in which a message including improvement measure information transmitted from the condition improvement device 200 and information indicating the user's condition is displayed.

[0141] In FIG. 11, a message saying "You're working really hard. Eating something sweet is also effective in recovering from fatigue" is displayed in display area 302A.

[0142] In this embodiment, by displaying a message in this manner, the user can be made aware that he or she is in a fatigued state and how to recover from fatigue.

[0143] 12 is a third diagram showing a display example of the terminal device of the first embodiment. In the example of Fig. 12, similar to Fig. 11, the terminal device 300 is a notebook personal computer.

[0144] 12 has a display area 302B, which displays a message including the improvement measure information transmitted from the condition improvement device 200 and information indicating the user's condition. Also, a list of images indicating the user's destination is displayed in the display area 302B as the improvement measure information.

[0145] Specifically, a message is displayed in the display area 302B saying, "You've been concentrating. Let's go to the refreshment space and take a break."

[0146] In this embodiment, by displaying an image of a place that will improve the user's condition, the user can be encouraged to take action to improve their condition. Also, the refreshment space may be, for example, a place where people who do not have a computer can gather.

[0147] Although not shown in FIG. 12, the display area 302B may also display directions to the refreshment space.

[0148] Thus, according to this embodiment, the user's condition can be estimated at regular intervals based on biometric information acquired from the user, and improvement measures appropriate to the user's condition can be presented, thereby supporting the improvement of the user's condition.

[0149] In this embodiment, the information output from the status improvement unit 240 to the terminal device 300 is the improvement measure information, but is not limited to this. For example, when the user's status is suitable for work, or when it is preferable to maintain the current status, the status improvement unit 240 may output information indicating this to the terminal device 300.

[0150] Specifically, for example, if the result of estimating the user's state is "concentration" and no improvement is necessary, the state improvement unit 240 may cause the terminal device 300 to display a message indicating that the current state of the user is favorable, such as "You are concentrating on your work, let's keep going like this."

[0151] (Second embodiment) A second embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the information presented to the user is information obtained from the provider of the improvement plan. In the following description of the second embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be described, and components having the same functional configuration as those in the first embodiment will be assigned the same reference numerals as those used in the description of the first embodiment, and descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0152] FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of the system configuration of the condition improvement system according to the second embodiment.

[0153] The condition improvement system 100A of this embodiment includes a condition improvement device 200A and a terminal device 300. The condition improvement device 200A of this embodiment communicates with a partner server 500 via the Internet or the like.

[0154] The partner server 500 is an external server provided outside the condition improvement system 100A, and is a server that provides the condition improvement device 200A with improvement measures for improving the user's condition. In other words, the partner server 500 is a provider of improvement measures. In this embodiment, the company or the like that manages the partner server 500 may be affiliated with the company or the like that provides the condition improvement system 100.

[0155] The condition improvement device 200A of this embodiment includes a partner database 210A, a user database 220, a history database 230A, and a condition improvement unit 240A.

[0156] The partner database 210A stores information required for the condition improvement system 100A to access the partner server 500. Although the example in Fig. 13 shows one partner server 500, there may be multiple partner servers 500. In other words, the company providing the condition improvement system 100A may be affiliated with multiple companies that provide improvement measures.

[0157] The history database 230A of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, except that the value of the item "improvement measures" included in the history information is a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) for displaying the improvement measure information provided by the partner server 500.

[0158] When the status improvement unit 240A determines that the user's status requires improvement, it refers to the partner database 210A, transmits the user information to the partner server 500, and acquires improvement information suited to the user's attributes from the partner server 500. Then, the status improvement unit 240A selects improvement information to be presented to the user from the acquired improvement information and transmits it to the terminal device 300.

[0159] The function of the condition improvement device 200A of this embodiment will be described below with reference to Fig. 14. Fig. 14 is a diagram illustrating the function of the condition improvement device of the second embodiment.

[0160] The condition improvement unit 240A of the condition improvement device 200A of this embodiment includes an input receiving unit 241, an output unit 242A, a storage control unit 243, a condition estimation unit 244, a necessity determination unit 245, an improvement measure selection unit 246, an improvement measure acquisition unit 247A, and a performance recording unit 248.

[0161] When the necessity determining unit 245 determines that the user's condition requires improvement, the output unit 242A of this embodiment refers to the user database 220 and transmits the user information of the user to the partner server 500.

[0162] The remedy acquisition unit 247A of this embodiment acquires, from the partner server 500, the remedy information extracted in the partner server 500.

[0163] The operation of the condition improvement system 100A of this embodiment will be described below with reference to Fig. 15. Fig. 15 is a sequence diagram illustrating the operation of the condition improvement system of the second embodiment.

[0164] The processing from step S1501 in FIG. 15 to step S1505 in FIG. 15 is the same as the processing from step S701 to step S705 in FIG. 7, and therefore the description thereof will be omitted.

[0165] If the necessity determination unit 245 determines that the user's condition requires improvement, the condition improvement unit 240A refers to the partner database 210A and the user database 220, and transmits the user information to the partner server 500 via the output unit 242A (step S1506).

[0166] The partner server 500 extracts services that can be potential improvement measures from the services provided by the partner server 500 based on the user information (step S1507). In the following description, the services that can be potential improvement measures may be referred to as potential improvement measures.

[0167] Next, the partner server 500 transmits the URL corresponding to the improvement measure candidate to the condition improvement device 200A as improvement measure candidate information (step S1508).

[0168] When the status improvement device 200A acquires the improvement measure candidate information by the improvement measure acquisition unit 247A, the improvement measure selection unit 246 selects improvement measure information to be presented to the user from the improvement measure candidate information, and sets the selected improvement measure candidate information as the improvement measure information (step S1509). The processing by the improvement measure selection unit 246 is the same as in the first embodiment.

[0169] 7. Furthermore, the processing from step S1510 to step S1512 in FIG. 15 is the same as the processing from step S708 to step S710 in FIG. 7, and therefore the description thereof will be omitted.

[0170] In this embodiment, after the improvement measure candidate information is acquired from the partner server 500, the improvement measure selection unit 246 selects the improvement measure information to be output to the terminal device 300, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0171] In this embodiment, the improvement measure candidate information acquired by the improvement measure acquisition unit 247A may be output as is to the terminal device 300, and a list of improvement measure candidates may be displayed on the terminal device 300. In this case, the improvement measure information may be selected from the list of improvement measure candidate information by an operation by the user of the terminal device 300.

[0172] Fig. 16 is a diagram showing a display example of a terminal device according to the second embodiment. In the example of Fig. 16, the terminal device 300 is a laptop personal computer, and a list of improvement measure candidate information acquired by the improvement measure acquisition unit 247A is displayed on the terminal device 300.

[0173] 16 includes a display area 302C. The display area 302C includes display areas 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, and 308, and each display area displays a URL link corresponding to a service that is a candidate for improvement.

[0174] Specifically, display area 303 displays a link for displaying a stretching video, display area 304 displays a link for displaying a landscape image, and display area 305 displays a link for listening to music recommended for relieving stress. Also, display area 306 displays a link to a page for purchasing herbal tea, display area 307 displays a link to a page for purchasing aroma goods, and display area 308 displays a link to a page for purchasing supplements.

[0175] 16 is an example and is not limited to this. The improvement candidate information may be, for example, a link to display a site related to a product or service recommended to the user, or a link to display a discount coupon for receiving a service, campaign information, store information, etc.

[0176] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the screen 301C may display information indicating the content of the service as the improvement measure candidate information, instead of a link.

[0177] Furthermore, in the display area 302C, images related to the services that are improvement measure candidates are displayed together with each link.

[0178] In this embodiment, for example, when the user selects a link displayed in the display area 303 on the screen 301C, a video showing how to stretch may be displayed on the screen 301C.

[0179] As described above, in this embodiment, in the example of FIG. 16, the user can select an improvement measure according to his / her preference from among the improvement measure candidates on the screen 301C.

[0180] In addition, in this embodiment, by displaying a list of images related to services that are potential improvement measures and URLs corresponding to the services, the user can intuitively understand the content of the services that are potential improvement measures.

[0181] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the company or the like that manages the partner server 500 can recommend services or products that the company provides to the user of the terminal device 300 in order to improve the situation.

[0182] The present invention is not limited to the configurations described in the above embodiments, but may be combined with other elements, etc. These aspects can be changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and can be appropriately determined depending on the application form.
