DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of an information processing system including a server as an embodiment of an information processing device of the present invention.

[0012] The information processing system shown in FIG. 1 is configured by interconnecting a server 1, a weather information providing device 2, an information transmission terminal 3, and a user terminal 4 via a predetermined network such as the Internet.

[0013] The server 1 is an embodiment of an information processing device to which the present invention is applied, and acquires weather information for a predetermined time period on a future predetermined day for a predetermined location from the weather information providing device 2, and performs control to generate an index (such as ranked symbols described below corresponding to makeup maintenance, skin care, and hair styling) indicating the degree to which the human integumentary system or cosmetics to be applied to the integumentary system can be maintained in an appropriate condition during the predetermined time period on the predetermined day, based on the acquired weather information and the chemical properties of the cosmetics and skin. Here, weather information is a broad concept that includes various types of weather data such as temperature (including low temperatures, temperature differences between the previous day and the current day, etc.), relative humidity (including high humidity, dryness, etc.), daytime weather, wind direction and speed, precipitation, snowfall, and solar radiation, as well as information on weather-related indicators and indices (sweating index information, ultraviolet light information, pollen information, etc.). Similarly, the predetermined location is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a location based on the area where the information transmission terminal 3 intends to provide content (for example, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, Okinawa, etc.). Similarly, the specified time period on a specified date in the future is not particularly limited, and can be, for example, a specified time period such as morning, afternoon, daytime, XX to △△ o'clock on a specified day of a specified week in a specified month of a year, or on a specified day in a specified month.

[0014] The weather information providing device 2 is an information processing device that generates the above-mentioned weather information and provides the above-mentioned weather information in response to a request from another information processing device such as the server 1. For example, in response to a request from the server 1, the weather information providing device 2 provides the server 1 with weather information for a predetermined time period on a predetermined future date for the above-mentioned predetermined location. Note that the weather information for a predetermined time period on a predetermined future date for the predetermined location is stored and managed in a predetermined database. The weather information providing device 2 also stores and manages past actual measurement values ​​of various weather data in the above-mentioned predetermined database, and can provide past actual measurement values, etc. to the server 1 as needed.

[0015] The information transmission terminal 3 is an information processing device that generates content including the "weather makeup" information described below provided by the server 1, and presents this generated content to a user (not shown) via the user terminal 4.

[0016] The user terminal 4 is composed of, for example, a smartphone, tablet terminal, personal computer, etc., and receives content (including information on "weather makeup" described later) transmitted from the information transmission terminal 3 and presents it to a user (not shown).

[0017] Now, regarding the skin care, makeup, and hair styling performed by users, these tend to be care that is tailored to the situation (current state) of the user when getting ready in the morning. However, when you go outside after your skincare routine and are exposed to the outside air, your skin will be different from how it was when you got ready in the morning (skincare, makeup, and hair styling). For example, by the time you get home in the evening, your face and hairstyle may look completely different. If the temperature is high, you may sweat and your makeup may come off. Also, exposure to sunlight can cause oily skin to appear, and strong winds can ruin your carefully styled hair. It would be useful to propose such "tips (advice, hints, tricks, advice, etc.)" that can predict "future events that may occur depending on weather conditions," express the degree of impact in a rank, and deal with the situation the night before or when getting ready in the morning, in an information processing system including a server 1 as one embodiment of the information processing device of the present invention. Hereafter, if we refer to the above suggestions ("Tips") as "Weather Makeup," then, for example, by predicting potential skin, makeup, and hair problems that may occur throughout the day and showing ways to deal with the problems in advance using "Weather Makeup" that includes the above-mentioned indicators (such as the ranked symbols described below that correspond to makeup maintenance, skin care, and hair styling), it is possible to improve the user's quality of life.

[0018] In this embodiment, the server 1 can execute control to generate the above-mentioned indicators by predicting what may happen during a specified time period on the above-mentioned specified day based on the above-mentioned weather information obtained from the weather information providing device 2 for each of a specified weather condition or a plurality of elements related to the human integumentary system or cosmetics applied to the integumentary system. In addition, with regard to the execution of control to generate the above-mentioned indicators, the server 1 can execute control to calculate the degree to which an appropriate state can be maintained during a specified time period on the above-mentioned specified day based on the prediction results for each of the above-mentioned multiple elements.

[0019] In this embodiment, the server 1 determines whether a certain weather condition satisfies a certain condition defined based on a certain element that uses the specified weather condition among the multiple elements described above, and can execute control to output a specified alert if the certain condition is satisfied.

[0020] The index indicating the degree to which an appropriate state can be maintained during a predetermined time period on a predetermined day includes a first index indicating a rough indication of whether makeup applied to the face will be maintained during the predetermined time period on the predetermined day. Specifically, "makeup keeping" or a symbol (described later) ranked in relation to the "makeup keeping" can be used as the first index. Specific examples including the first index of the symbol ranked in relation to "makeup keeping" will be described later with reference to FIG. 4. The index indicating the degree of skin care also includes a second index indicating a rough guide to the degree of skin care according to the weather. Specifically, "skin care" or a symbol (described later) ranked for the "skin care" can be used as the second index. Specific examples of the second index including the symbol ranked for "skin care" will be described later with reference to FIG. 6. The index indicating the degree of hair styling also includes a third index indicating whether the hair styling is likely to be maintained during the specified time period on the specified day. Specifically, the third index can be a "hair styling" or a symbol (described later) ranked for the "hair styling." Specific examples of the third index including the symbol ranked for the "hair styling" will be described later with reference to FIG. 5.

[0021] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of a server in the information processing system shown in FIG.

[0022] The CPU 11 executes various processes according to a program recorded in the ROM 12 or a program loaded from the storage unit 18 into the RAM 13 . The RAM 13 also stores data and the like necessary for the CPU 11 to execute various processes.

[0023] The CPU 11, ROM 12, and RAM 13 are connected to one another via a bus 14. An input / output interface 15 is also connected to this bus 14. An input unit 16, an output unit 17, a storage unit 18, a communication unit 19, and a drive 20 are connected to the input / output interface 15.

[0024] The input unit 16 is configured with, for example, a keyboard and is used to input various information. The output unit 17 is configured with a display such as a liquid crystal display, a speaker, etc., and outputs various information as images and sounds. The storage unit 18 is configured with a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) or the like, and stores various data. The communication unit 19 communicates with other devices (for example, the weather information providing device 2 and information transmission terminal 3 in Figure 1, and, if necessary, the user terminal 4) via a network N including the Internet (note that the communication unit 19 can also communicate with the user terminal 4).

[0025] Removable media 30, such as a magnetic disk, optical disk, magneto-optical disk, or semiconductor memory, is appropriately attached to the drive 20. A program read from the removable media 30 by the drive 20 is installed in the storage unit 18 as needed. Furthermore, the removable medium 30 can also store various data stored in the storage unit 18 in the same manner as the storage unit 18.

[0026] Although not shown, the weather information providing device 2, information transmission terminal 3, and user terminal 4 in Fig. 1 can also have basically the same hardware configuration as that shown in Fig. 2. Therefore, a description of the hardware configuration of the weather information providing device 2, information transmission terminal 3, and user terminal 4 will be omitted.

[0027] By cooperation of the various hardware and software constituting the information processing system of FIG. 1, including the server 1 of FIG. 2, it is possible to execute processing that can assist in predicting whether the human integumentary system or cosmetics applied to the integumentary system can be maintained in an appropriate condition during a specified time period on a specified day.

[0028] FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the server of FIG. 2 in the information processing system of FIG.

[0029] As shown in Figure 3, the CPU 11 of the server 1 functions as a weather information acquisition unit 51, an index generation unit 52 (weather make element calculation unit 521, index rank determination unit 522), an alert determination unit 53, a weather / make comment generation unit 54, a content generation unit 55, and a content provision unit 56. In one area of ​​the storage unit 18, a cosmetics and skin characteristics DB 71 and a content component DB 72 are arranged.

[0030] The weather information acquisition unit 51 executes control to acquire weather information for a predetermined time period on a predetermined date in the future for a predetermined location. Specifically, the weather information acquisition unit 51 executes control to acquire weather information for a predetermined time period on a future predetermined day (for example, a predetermined day of the week on a predetermined week of a predetermined month of a year, a predetermined day on a predetermined month, etc., for a predetermined time period such as morning, afternoon, daytime, XX to XX o'clock, etc.) for a location based on the area for which the information transmission terminal 3 intends to provide content (for example, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, Okinawa, etc.) from the weather information providing device 2, i.e., weather information in a broad sense including various weather data such as temperature (including low temperatures, temperature differences between the previous day and the current day, etc.), relative humidity (including high humidity, dryness, etc.), daytime weather, wind direction and speed, precipitation, snowfall, solar radiation, as well as information on weather-related indicators and indices (sweating index information, ultraviolet light information, pollen information, etc.).

[0031] The index generating unit 52 executes control to generate an index indicating the degree to which the human integumentary system or cosmetics applied to the integumentary system can be maintained in an appropriate state during the specified time period on the specified day, based on the weather information acquired by the weather information acquiring unit 51 and the chemical characteristics of cosmetics and skin stored in the cosmetics and skin characteristics DB 71. The index generating unit 52 includes a weather makeup element calculating unit 521 and an index rank determining unit 522.

[0032] The weather makeup element calculation unit 521 executes control to generate the above-mentioned indexes by predicting what may happen during a specified time period on a specified day based on the weather information acquired by the weather information acquisition unit 51 for each of a specified weather condition or a plurality of elements related to the human integumentary system or cosmetics applied to the integumentary system.

[0033] The above-mentioned multiple elements include makeup maintenance, skin care, hair styling, etc. The makeup retention element is an index (first index) showing whether today's makeup will stay on all day, while the skin care element is an index (second index) showing the level of skin care according to the weather, and the hair styling element is an index (third index) showing whether today's hair styling will stay on all day.

[0034] In the case of keeping makeup in place, the above-mentioned predetermined weather conditions may include sweating, daytime weather, daytime temperature, and the like. In the case of skin care, the above-mentioned predetermined weather conditions include daytime relative humidity, daytime absolute humidity, and the like. In the case of hair styling, the above-mentioned predetermined weather conditions include daytime weather, average daytime relative humidity, average daytime wind speed, and the like.

[0035] In the case of keeping makeup on, possible predictions under the condition of sweating include, for example, sweating when moving, or sweating even with a little movement. In addition, in the case of makeup keeping, possible predictions for daytime weather conditions include sunny weather for more than half of the time, sunny weather for more than 80% of the time, and the like. Furthermore, in the case of makeup maintenance, one possible prediction that may occur under certain daytime temperature conditions is that sebum secretion may be promoted.

[0036] In the case of skin care, a possible prediction based on the relative humidity during the day may be, for example, that the average relative humidity is perceived as being rather dry for the skin. In the case of skin care, possible predictions based on daytime absolute humidity conditions include, for example, that the amount of moisture in the skin is expected to become very low, or that the amount of moisture in the skin is expected to become low.

[0037] In the case of hair styling, a possible forecast for daytime weather conditions is, for example, rain during the day. In the case of hair styling, possible predictions based on the average daytime relative humidity include whether the hair will be dry or wet (such as wavy). In the case of hair styling, examples of predictions that may occur under the condition of average daytime wind speed include wind speeds that may cause hair to become disheveled.

[0038] The index rank determination unit 522 calculates the above-mentioned degree (the degree to which an appropriate state can be maintained during the specified time period on the specified day) based on the prediction results of the weather makeup element calculation unit 521 for each of the above-mentioned multiple elements, and executes control to determine an index (rank) indicating that degree. Specifically, the index rank determining unit 522 converts the above conditions into points and executes control to determine the rank from the total points. The scores shown below are just an example.

[0039] In the case of keeping makeup on, the score for the condition of sweating can be, for example, sweating when moving (point A), sweating when moving even a little (point B), etc. In addition, in the case of keeping makeup, the score for the daytime weather condition can be, for example, sunny for more than half of the time (point C), sunny for more than 80% of the time (point D), etc. In addition, in the case of keeping makeup in place, the score under the condition of daytime temperature can be, for example, that sebum secretion may be promoted (point E).

[0040] In the case of skin care, an example of a score based on the condition of daytime relative humidity is when the average relative humidity is deemed to be somewhat dry for the skin (point F). In the case of skin care, the score based on the absolute humidity during the day can be, for example, G point, where it is expected that the skin's moisture content will be very low, or H point, where it is expected that the skin's moisture content will be low.

[0041] In the case of hair styling, an example of a score for the daytime weather condition is rain forecast during the day (point I). In the case of hair styling, the score under the condition of the average daytime relative humidity can be, for example, a score (J point) where the hair is expected to be dry or wet (such as wavy). In the case of hair styling, an example of a score based on the average daytime wind speed is the wind speed (point K) that can mess up hair.

[0042] The index rank determination unit 522 totals the scores of the above conditions (for example, L points to M points) and determines the rank according to the total score. For example, if the score is L, the rank is the highest, and conversely, if the score is M, the rank is the lowest. In this embodiment, as a result of the ranking by the judgment, a symbol in the shape of a face as shown in Figures 4 to 6 is presented to the user (not shown). That is, a symbol of a smiling expression with fingers pointing "like," a symbol of a normal expression, or a symbol of a depressed expression is presented to the user (the display as a symbol is one example, and it may also be displayed as text or as a level).

[0043] As described above, in the CPU 11, by having the weather information acquisition unit 51 and the index generation unit 52 (weather makeup element calculation unit 521, index rank determination unit 522) function, it is possible to provide a technology that can assist in predicting whether the human integumentary system or cosmetics applied to the integumentary system can be maintained in an appropriate condition during a specified time period on a specified day.

[0044] The alert determination unit 53 determines whether or not a certain condition defined based on a predetermined element using the predetermined weather condition among the above-mentioned multiple elements is satisfied for the predetermined weather condition, and executes control to output a predetermined alert if the certain condition is satisfied.

[0045] The above-mentioned predetermined element can be, for example, the level of skin secretion promotion (the level of promotion of sebum and sweat secretion, the ease with which sebum and sweat secretion occurs). This element is a factor that can cause makeup to come off. Furthermore, the above-mentioned predetermined element can be, for example, the moisture content of the skin, which is the relative humidity, or the absolute moisture content in the air. Furthermore, the above-mentioned predetermined factors include, for example, factors that damage hair and factors that tend to mess up hair.

[0046] In the case of makeup maintenance, the above-mentioned predetermined alerts may include alerts for "temperature," "high humidity," "sweating," "daytime weather," "UV," "dryness," and "pollen." In addition, in the case of skin care, the above-mentioned specified alerts can include alerts for "UV," "dryness," "temperature difference on the day," "high humidity," "pollen," "sweating," "temperature difference from the previous day," and "low temperature." In addition, examples of the above-mentioned predetermined alerts include, in the case of hair styling, alerts such as "high humidity," "dryness," "UV," "wind speed," "weather," "pollen," and "sweating."

[0047] The above-mentioned certain condition for outputting such a predetermined alert may be, for example, a temperature of P degrees or higher (a temperature equivalent to "high temperature") in the case of a "high temperature" alert. The "Temperature" alert for keeping makeup on can be a temperature that may promote sebum secretion. "High humidity" can be a condition that indicates a relative humidity level at which skin is expected to become sticky. "Sweating" can be a condition that indicates an environment in which movement causes sweating. "Daytime weather" can be a condition that indicates predominantly sunny weather. "UV" can be a condition that indicates a level at which UV protection is required. "Dryness" can be a condition that indicates a relative humidity level at which skin is expected to become dry. "Pollen" can be a condition that indicates a certain level of pollen count in the air each day.

[0048] For skin care, the "UV" alert can be used as a condition indicating that even slight UV protection is necessary. For "Dry," a condition can be the relative humidity at which skin is expected to become dry. For "Temperature difference on the day," a condition can be a difference of a certain amount between the highest and lowest temperatures on the same day. For "High humidity," a condition can be the relative humidity at which skin is expected to become sticky. For "Pollen," a condition can be a certain amount of pollen dispersed in the air per day. For "Sweating," a condition can be an environment in which sweating occurs when moving. For "Temperature difference from the previous day," a condition can be a difference of a certain amount between the average daytime temperature of the day and the previous day. For "Low temperature," a condition can be a temperature at which the skin feels cold or chilly.

[0049] For hair styling, the "High Humidity" alert can be set as a condition for the relative humidity at which hair is likely to become frizzy. "Dry" can be set as a condition for the relative humidity at which skin is likely to become dry. "UV" can be set as a condition for a value at which UV protection measures, such as refraining from outdoor activities, are required. "Wind Speed" can be set as a condition for the wind speed at which hair may become messy. "Weather" can be set as a condition for rain forecast during the day. "Pollen" can be set as a condition for the daily pollen count to exceed a certain level. "Sweating" can be set as a condition for an environment in which sweating occurs when moving.

[0050] As described above, the alert determination unit 53 in the CPU 11 functions to present the user with alerts related to indicators (makeup maintenance, skin care, and hair styling) according to conditions such as high temperature, high humidity, sweating, weather (sunny), UV rays, dryness, and pollen in the air.

[0051] The weather and makeup comment generation unit 54 executes control to generate a weather comment summarizing weather trends. The weather and makeup comment generation unit 54 also executes control to list indicators to pay attention to that day (makeup maintenance, skin care, hair styling) based on weather trends, each rank, and each alert, and to generate a comment that provides advice according to the indicators, for example, in one point.

[0052] The content generation unit 55 controls the generation of content to be sent to the information transmission terminal 3 using predictions of what may happen during a specified time period on a specified day by the index generation unit 52 (weather make element calculation unit 521, index rank determination unit 522), index ranks, alerts by the alert determination unit 53, comments by the weather / make comment generation unit 54, and various components for providing content stored in the content component DB 72 of the memory unit 18. Specifically, the content generating unit 55 executes control to generate information (content) on "weather makeup."

[0053] The content providing unit 56 executes control to transmit the content (information on “weather makeup”) generated by the content generating unit 55 to the information transmission terminal 3 via the communication unit 19.

[0054] Next, several examples will be described as specific examples of screens displayed on the user terminal of FIG. 1 by display control of the server having the functional configuration of FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a first specific example of a screen displayed on the user terminal of FIG. 1 by output from a server having the functional configuration of FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a second specific example, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a third specific example.

[0055] The information transmission terminal 3 generates content (in this example, a weather forecast program) including information on "weather makeup" provided by the server 1, and when this generated content is transmitted, "tips" regarding, for example, the weather in Tokyo and makeup, as shown in Figures 4 to 6, are suggested on the screen of the user terminal 4. In this embodiment, the latest weather forecast is presented in a forecast format to show how it will affect the day's indicators (makeup maintenance, skin care, and hair styling) and how it can be used to your advantage.

[0056] In the example of FIG. 4, the indicator column MID shows "Makeup," and it can be seen that "Tips" regarding keeping makeup are being suggested. The rank display field RA1 displays, for example, the weather forecast and the maximum and minimum temperatures for today, the 24th (Friday), as well as the results of makeup maintenance ranked by the server 1, using, for example, a symbol of a facial expression. This symbol is displayed relatively large, allowing the user to understand at a glance the impact on makeup maintenance. Additionally, the alert display column AL1 located below the rank display column RA1 also displays the alert for today, the 24th, so it is clear that today, the 24th, you need to be careful about "sweating" when it comes to keeping your makeup on. The rank display column RA2 displays the weather forecast and the maximum and minimum temperatures for the following day, the 25th (Saturday), along with facial expression symbols showing the makeup maintenance results ranked by server 1. Note that the alert display column AL2 for the 25th does not display any alerts, indicating that there is no need to pay particular attention to makeup maintenance. The rank display field RA3 displays the weather forecast and the maximum and minimum temperatures for the day after tomorrow, the 26th (Sunday), along with the results of makeup maintenance ranked by server 1, displayed as a facial expression symbol. The alert display field AL3 displays the alert for the day after tomorrow, the 25th, indicating that caution is needed regarding "high temperatures" when it comes to makeup maintenance on the 26th. Below the alert display fields AL1 to AL3, a large comment field COM is provided, which displays comments about the weather and makeup generated by the server 1. Here, comments about the weather and makeup maintenance are displayed, such as "Be careful of sweating on Friday, and gently pat away excess oil with triangular tissue."

[0057] In the example of FIG. 5, the indicator column MID indicates "hair styling," and it can be seen that "tips" regarding hair styling are being proposed. The ranking display field RA1 displays the weather forecast and maximum and minimum temperatures for today, the 24th (Friday), as well as the results of hair styling ranked by server 1, using facial expression symbols. These symbols are displayed relatively large, allowing the user to understand the impact on the hair styling at a glance. Additionally, the alert display field AL1 located below the rank display field RA1 displays the alert for today, the 24th. Note that no alert is displayed in the alert display field AL1 for the 24th, indicating that no particular attention is required regarding hair styling. The rank display column RA2 displays the weather forecast and the maximum and minimum temperatures for the following day, the 25th (Saturday), as well as facial expression symbols showing the results of hair styling ranked by server 1. Furthermore, no alert is displayed in the alert display column AL2 for the 25th, indicating that there is no need to pay particular attention to hair styling. The rank display field RA3 displays the weather forecast and the maximum and minimum temperatures for the day after tomorrow, the 26th (Sunday), along with facial expression symbols showing the results of hair styling ranked by server 1. The alert display field AL3 displays an alert for the day after tomorrow, the 26th, indicating that care should be taken with regard to "high humidity" and "rain" regarding hair styling on the 26th. The comment field COM displays comments about the weather and hair styling generated on server 1. Here, a comment about the weather and hair styling such as "After styling, it's good to use styling products on cooled hair and finish it off just before going out."

[0058] In the example of FIG. 6, the indicator column MID shows "skin care," and it can be seen that "tips" regarding skin care are being proposed. The ranking display field RA1 displays the weather forecast and maximum and minimum temperatures for today, the 24th (Friday), as well as the skin care results ranked by server 1, displayed as facial expression symbols. These symbols are displayed relatively large, allowing the user to understand at a glance the impact on hair styling. Additionally, an alert for today, the 24th, is displayed in an alert display field AL1 located below the rank display field RA1. It is clear that today, the 24th, it is necessary to be careful about "sweating" in regards to maintaining makeup. The ranking display field RA2 displays the weather forecast and the maximum and minimum temperatures for the following day, the 25th (Saturday), along with facial expression symbols showing the skin care results ranked by server 1. Note that no alert is displayed in the alert display field AL2 for the 25th, indicating that no special care is required regarding skin care. The rank display field RA3 displays the weather forecast and maximum and minimum temperatures for the day after tomorrow, the 26th (Sunday), along with facial expression symbols showing the skin care results ranked by server 1. The alert display field AL3 displays an alert for the day after tomorrow, the 26th, indicating that care should be taken with regard to "high humidity" on the 26th. The comment field COM displays comments about weather and skin care generated by server 1. Here, a comment about weather and skin care such as "For skin that is prone to sensitivity due to large temperature differences, it is recommended to apply a moisturizing cream before going to bed" is displayed.

[0059] As described above with reference to Figures 1 to 6, according to the present invention, "future events that may occur depending on weather conditions" can be predicted, the degree of impact is represented here by ranked symbols, and "tips (advice, hints, tricks, advice, etc.)" that can be used to deal with the situation, for example, the night before or when getting ready in the morning can be suggested. Such suggestions can, for example, predict potential skin, makeup, and hair problems that may occur throughout the day, and show ways to deal with the problems in advance using "Weather Makeup," which includes the indicators mentioned above (ranked symbols corresponding to makeup maintenance, skin care, and hair styling), thereby improving the user's quality of life.

[0060] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications, improvements, etc. within the scope of achieving the object of the present invention are considered to be included in the present invention.

[0061] The manner in which the above-mentioned "weather makeup" is provided to the user terminal 4 is not particularly limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, i.e., by connecting the user terminal 4 to a network such as the Internet and providing it as predetermined content, specifically, for example, by installing a dedicated app on the user terminal 4 and allowing the user to view it via the app (by streaming the "weather makeup" into the app and allowing the user to view it via the app). For example, a television receiver may be used as the user terminal 4, a terminal of a specified broadcasting station may be used as the information transmission terminal 3, a television program including "Weather Makeup" may be used as the specified content, and the television program may be broadcast from the specified broadcasting station.

[0062] In other words, the transmission of specified content, including the above-mentioned "Weather Makeup," may be through a variety of means, including television broadcasting, mass media, digital media, newspaper media, etc., and is not limited to any one of these. In addition, it can also be deployed on websites, the aforementioned apps, signage, and social media, and as long as it is connected to the Internet rather than being standalone, it can be deployed on any medium.

[0063] This invention can also be expanded into "content marketing on social media" or "television infomercials" that introduce specific skin care items that should actually be used, with companies such as cosmetics manufacturers as sponsors. "Content marketing" is a method of using social media and other platforms to provide useful content to targets and fans, leading to the purchase of products and services. Many companies operate their own social media accounts and focus on content marketing. By introducing "Otenki Make" as a form of content marketing, it is possible to reach targets and encourage them to become fans. It is known that the higher the information exposure rate, the greater the favorability, so it is effective to use not only social media but also signage and web advertising.

[0064] The infomercials mentioned above are advertisements that introduce products and are longer than the typical commercials (pure advertisements) broadcast within television programs. The example of "Weather Makeup" being broadcast as content within a television program was mentioned above, but unlike in-program content, it can also be used as an infomercial. By incorporating "Weather Makeup," which includes predictive elements, into infomercials, viewers can easily perceive the advertisement as something that concerns them personally, making it a win-win situation for viewers, media, and sponsors, and providing meaningful information.

[0065] For example, the hardware configuration of the server 1 shown in FIG. 2 is merely an example for achieving the object of the present invention, and is not particularly limited.

[0066] 3 is merely an example and is not particularly limited. That is, it is sufficient if the function capable of executing the above-described processing as a whole is provided, and the type of functional block used to realize this function is not particularly limited to the example in FIG.

[0067] Furthermore, the locations of the functional blocks and databases are not limited to those shown in FIG. 3 and may be arbitrary. For example, at least a part of the functional blocks of the server 1 may be transferred to the weather information providing device 2, the information transmission terminal 3, the user terminal 4, or an information processing device (not shown).

[0068] The above-described series of processes can be executed by hardware or software. Furthermore, one functional block may be configured as a single piece of hardware, a single piece of software, or a combination thereof.

[0069] When a series of processes is executed by software, the programs that make up the software are installed into a computer or the like from a network or a recording medium. The computer may be a computer built on dedicated hardware. The computer may also be a computer capable of executing various functions by installing various programs, such as a server, a general-purpose smartphone, or a personal computer.

[0070] The recording medium containing such a program may be composed not only of a removable medium (not shown) that is distributed separately from the device main body in order to provide the program to the user, but also of a recording medium that is provided to the user in a state that is pre-installed in the device main body.

[0071] In this specification, the steps describing the program to be recorded on the recording medium include not only processes that are performed in chronological order, but also processes that are not necessarily performed in chronological order but are performed in parallel or individually.

[0072] To sum up, the information processing device to which the present invention is applied is sufficient as long as it has the following configuration, and can take on a variety of different embodiments. That is, an information processing device to which the present invention is applied (for example, the server 1 in FIG. 1) a weather information acquiring means (for example, the weather information acquiring unit 51 in FIG. 3) for acquiring weather information (for example, information in a broad sense including various weather data such as temperature (including low temperature, temperature difference between the previous day and the current day, etc.), relative humidity (including high humidity, dryness, etc.), daytime weather, wind direction and speed, precipitation, snowfall, solar radiation, as well as information on indicators and indices related to weather (sweating index information, ultraviolet light information, pollen information, etc.)) for a predetermined time period on a future predetermined day (for example, a predetermined day of the week on a predetermined week of a predetermined month of a year, a predetermined day on a predetermined month of a year, or a predetermined time period such as morning, afternoon, daytime, XX o'clock to △△ o'clock) for a predetermined location (for example, a location based on an area where the information transmission terminal 3 in FIG. 1 intends to provide content (for example, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, Okinawa, etc.)) and an index generating means (for example, the index generating unit 52 in FIG. 3) that generates an index (for example, a ranked symbol corresponding to each of makeup maintenance, skin care, and hair styling) indicating the degree to which the human integumentary system or the cosmetics applied to the integumentary system can be maintained in an appropriate condition during the predetermined time period on the predetermined day, based on the acquired weather information and the chemical characteristics of the cosmetics and the skin; It is enough to have this.

[0073] In this way, a technology can be provided that can assist in predicting whether the human integumentary system or cosmetics applied to the integumentary system will be able to maintain an appropriate condition for a given period of time on a given day.

[0074] The index generating means a prediction means (e.g., the weather makeup element calculation unit 521 in FIG. 3 ) for predicting what may occur during the predetermined time period on the predetermined day based on the acquired weather information for each predetermined weather condition (e.g., sweating, daytime weather, daytime temperature, etc.) or for each of a plurality of elements related to the human integumentary system or cosmetics applied to the integumentary system (e.g., makeup maintenance, skin care, hair styling, etc.); a degree calculation means (for example, the index rank determination unit 522 in FIG. 3) that calculates the degree based on the prediction results for each of the plurality of elements; having It is possible.

[0075] An alert means (e.g., the alert determination unit 53 in FIG. 3) that determines whether a certain condition (e.g., a temperature of P degrees or higher (a temperature corresponding to "high temperature")) defined based on a predetermined element (e.g., an element such as the degree of skin secretion promotion) that uses the predetermined weather condition among the plurality of elements is satisfied, and outputs a predetermined alert (e.g., an alert "high temperature" displayed in the alert display fields AL1 to AL3 in FIGS. 4 to 6) when the certain condition is satisfied. Further provided with It is possible.

[0076] The indicators include a first indicator (e.g., a symbol ranked in terms of "makeup retention") indicating whether or not makeup applied to the face will stay on during the specified time period on the specified day, and It is possible.

[0077] The index includes a second index (e.g., a symbol ranked in terms of "skin care") indicating a measure of skin care care level according to the weather, It is possible.
