[0028] The creation unit 120 creates a health management schedule for managing the subject's health condition based on the intake information (step S120).

[0029] (Detailed example) (About the information processing system SYS1) The information processing system SYS1 is a system for supporting the subject in managing the intake of a composition.

[0030] The subject is a person who takes the composition. The subject may be, for example, a person who intends to take the composition, or a person who has taken the composition.

[0031] The compositions include pharmaceuticals (prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, etc.), health foods, so-called supplements, etc. Health foods are foods taken for the purpose of maintaining or improving health, and include, for example, those called nutritional supplements, health supplements, nutritionally fortified foods, nutritionally adjusted foods, functional foods, health functional foods, foods for specified health uses, and foods for special dietary uses.

[0032] There are various types of compositions. Examples of the types of compositions include (A) a single-ingestion type that is taken only once, (B) a limited-period-of-ingestion type that has a set upper limit on the period of continuous ingestion, and (C) a continuous-ingestion type that can be taken continuously indefinitely. An example of the (A) single-ingestion type composition is emergency contraception. Examples of the (B) limited-period-of-ingestion type composition are antiallergic drugs, cold medicines, antipyretics, and drugs for improving melasma. An example of the (C) continuous-ingestion type composition is a food with functional claims.

[0033] The types of compositions and the types of compositions are not limited to the above examples.

[0034] The information processing system SYS1 includes a server device 30, a terminal device 50a used by a subject, and an information processing device 100, as shown in detail in FIG.

[0035] The terminal device 50a, the server device 30, and the information processing device 100 are connected to each other via a communication network NT, and transmit and receive information to and from each other via the communication network NT. The communication network NT may include one or more of the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), a WAN (Wide Area Network), etc., and may be configured as a wired or wireless network or a combination thereof.

[0036] The number of terminal devices 50a included in the information processing system SYS1 is not limited to one, and may be multiple. When the information processing system SYS1 includes multiple terminal devices 50a, the multiple terminal devices 50a may include a terminal device 50a used by each of multiple subjects, or may include multiple terminal devices 50a used by one subject.

[0037] (Regarding the server device 30) The server device 30 is a device that stores a terminal program TP in advance. For example, in response to a request from the terminal device 50a, the server device 30 transmits the terminal program TP related to the request to the terminal device 50a.

[0038] (Regarding terminal device 50a) The terminal device 50a is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, etc. used by the subject. The terminal device 50a includes, for example, the reading unit 51, the downloading unit 52, and the installing unit 53, as described above (see, for example, FIG. 2).

[0039] (Regarding the reading unit 51) The reading unit 51 reads address information. The address information is information for downloading the terminal program TP. The terminal program TP is a program for assisting in the management of composition intake, and is installed on the terminal device 50a. The address information includes, for example, an address indicating the location of the server device 30 that stores the terminal program TP. The address is, for example, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator), but is not limited to this.

[0040] For example, the reading unit 51 may include a camera. In this case, for example, the reading unit 51 may use the camera to read the address information from a code containing the address information. The code may be, for example, a two-dimensional code, a one-dimensional code, or the like. The code may be printed on a medium such as paper, film, or sheet, or may be displayed on a display or the like. Examples of media on which the code is printed include, but are not limited to, the packaging of the composition, instructions, information sheets, pamphlets, and leaflets. Examples of displays on which the code is displayed include, but are not limited to, displays installed in hospitals, pharmacies, drug stores, and stores.

[0041] Furthermore, for example, the reading unit 51 may include a reader that reads information stored in an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag. In this case, for example, the reading unit 51 may use the reader to read address information from an RFID tag that stores the address information. Examples of media that hold an RFID tag include, but are not limited to, the packaging of the composition, instructions, information sheets, pamphlets, and leaflets.

[0042] The method for providing address information is not limited to the above example.

[0043] (About download section 52) For example, when the download unit 52 acquires the address information read by the reading unit 51, the download unit 52 accesses the server device 30 corresponding to the address included in the address information via the communication network NT. For example, the download unit 52 transmits a request to download the terminal program TP to the server device 30, and downloads the program stored in the server device 30.

[0044] Here, if the server device 30 stores various programs in addition to the terminal program TP, the address information may further include program identification information for identifying the terminal program TP.

[0045] (About installation part 53) For example, the installation unit 53 installs the terminal program TP downloaded by the download unit 52 into the terminal device 50a. After the download unit 52 downloads the terminal program TP, the installation unit 53 may install the terminal program TP in response to an instruction from the target user.

[0046] The reading unit 51, download unit 52, and installation unit 53 may be functions provided by a predetermined program such as an OS (Operating System) on which the terminal device 50a operates. When the terminal program TP is installed in the terminal device 50a, the terminal device 50a cooperates with the information processing device 100 using the functions provided by the terminal program TP. This allows the subject to receive support regarding the intake of the composition.

[0047] The functions provided by the terminal program TP include, for example, a function to provide a user interface for the subject to input predetermined information, a function to communicate with the information processing device 100, a function to store part or all of the information input by the subject in the terminal device 50a, etc. The functions provided by the terminal program TP are not limited to these, but examples will be described later.

[0048] The method for installing the terminal program TP into the terminal device 50a is not limited to the above example. For example, the downloading unit 52 may obtain the address of the server device 30, and the method is not limited to obtaining the address from the reading unit 51. For example, the downloading unit 52 may obtain the address of the server device 30 by the target user inputting the address into the terminal device 50a, or may obtain the address of the server device 30 from link information on a website, etc.

[0049] Furthermore, for example, before downloading or installing the terminal program TP to the terminal device 50a, processing may be performed to confirm with the subject that the subject agrees to the handling of personal information, understands the purpose of the terminal program TP, and the like.

[0050] Furthermore, for example, the functions provided to or processes executed by the terminal device 50a by installing the terminal program TP may be realized through the functions of a browser installed on the terminal device 50a. For example, even if the terminal program TP is not installed on the terminal device 50a, the functions provided to or processes executed by the information processing device 100 may be configured to be available by the target person logging in to a dedicated website accessed from the terminal device 50a via a communication line such as the Internet.

[0051] (Regarding information processing device 100) The information processing device 100 is a device for supporting a subject in managing the intake of a composition. The information processing device 100 includes, for example, an intake information acquisition unit 110 and a creation unit 120, as described above (see, for example, FIG. 4).

[0052] (Regarding intake information acquisition unit 110) The intake information acquisition unit 110 acquires intake information including the intake time when the subject takes the composition, based on, for example, an input to the terminal device 50a in which the terminal program TP is installed.

[0053] The ingestion time is the time when the composition is ingested. The ingestion time may be, for example, the ingestion start time when the ingestion of the composition is started. The ingestion start time may be, for example, the planned ingestion start time, which is the time when the subject plans to start ingestion of the composition, or the actual ingestion start time if the subject has already started ingestion of the composition.

[0054] Here, the time is typically a date and time expressed, for example, by year, month, day, and time, and the same applies hereinafter. However, the method of expressing the time is not limited to this. For example, the time may be expressed by the time elapsed from a predetermined time, or may be expressed by a time having a predetermined time interval, such as in 10-minute increments (e.g., 11:00 to 11:10). For example, the time may be expressed in a way that the subject selects from multiple ways of expressing the time, such as the date and time, elapsed time, etc.

[0055] (Regarding the creation unit 120) The creation unit 120 creates a health management schedule based on the intake information. The health management schedule is a schedule for managing the health of a subject. The schedule is, for example, information that associates a time (timing) with a process content, and indicates that when the time arrives, the process associated with the time will be executed.

[0056] The health management schedule may include, for example, at least one of the following schedules: (1) initial check timing, (2) periodic check timing, and (3) effect check timing.

[0057] (1) The initial confirmation timing may be, for example, a timing corresponding to the time when a predetermined initial confirmation period has elapsed since the time of ingestion. (3) The periodic confirmation timing may be, for example, a timing that arrives at a predetermined confirmation period. (4) The effect confirmation timing may be, for example, a timing corresponding to the time when a predetermined effect confirmation period has elapsed since the time of ingestion. The ingestion timing used to determine these timings may be the start time of ingestion, which is the time of initial ingestion.

[0058] An example of processing content included in a health management schedule is the sending of a predetermined message at each timing. In this way, predetermined processing such as sending a message can be performed based on the health management schedule. Detailed examples of health management schedules will be described later.

[0059] The above (1) to (4) are examples of timings included in the health management schedule, and the health management schedule may include schedules for timings other than the above (1) to (4). In other words, the health management schedule may include at least one of the above (1) to (4) and schedules related to other timings.

[0060] (Example of physical configuration of information processing device 100) The information processing device 100 may be, for example, a computer. Physically, the information processing device 100 includes a bus 1010, a processor 1020, a memory 1030, a storage device 1040, a network interface 1050, an input interface 1060, and an output interface 1070, as shown in FIG.

[0061] The bus 1010 is a data transmission path for transmitting and receiving data among the processor 1020, memory 1030, storage device 1040, network interface 1050, input interface 1060, and output interface 1070. However, the method of connecting the processor 1020 and the like to each other is not limited to bus connection.

[0062] The processor 1020 is implemented by a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), or the like.

[0063] The memory 1030 is a main storage device realized by a RAM (Random Access Memory) or the like.

[0064] The storage device 1040 is an auxiliary storage device realized by a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a memory card, a read only memory (ROM), or the like. The storage device 1040 stores program modules for realizing the functions of the information processing device 100. The processor 1020 loads each of these program modules into the memory 1030 and executes them, thereby realizing the function corresponding to the program module. The present invention may be realized as such a program.

[0065] The network interface 1050 is an interface for connecting the information processing device 100 to the communication network NT.

[0066] The input interface 1060 is an interface for the user to input information, and is composed of, for example, a touch panel, a keyboard, a mouse, and the like.

[0067] The output interface 1070 is an interface for presenting information to the user, and is configured, for example, by a liquid crystal panel, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) panel, or the like.

[0068] Each of the server device 30 and the terminal device 50a may be physically configured in the same manner as, for example, the information processing device 100. The terminal device 50a may further include, for example, a camera, a reader, etc. to implement the reading unit 51.

[0069] The information processing device 100 may be physically composed of multiple devices (for example, information processing devices such as computers). The information processing device 100 may also have some or all of the functions of other devices constituting the information processing system SYS1, such as the server device 30. The terminal device 50a may also have some or all of the functions of the information processing device 100. In other words, the terminal device 50a may function as an information processing device or as a part of an information processing device.

[0070] (Actions and Effects) As described above, according to this embodiment, the information processing device 100 includes, for example, the ingestion information acquisition unit 110 and the creation unit 120, as described above. The ingestion information acquisition unit 110 acquires ingestion information including the ingestion time when the subject ingests a composition. The creation unit 120 creates a health management schedule for managing the subject's health condition based on the ingestion information.

[0071] This allows for processing to manage the subject's physical condition based on the physical condition management schedule, thereby supporting physical condition management after taking the composition.

[0072] According to this embodiment, the information processing system SYS1 includes a terminal device 50a used by a subject who takes the composition, and an information processing device 100.

[0073] This allows the subject to receive support for managing the intake of the composition using the terminal device 50a, thereby making it possible to easily provide support for managing the intake of the composition.

[0074] According to this embodiment, the terminal device 50 a includes a reading unit 51 , a download unit 52 , and an installation unit 53 .

[0075] A reading unit 51 reads address information for downloading a terminal program TP for supporting management of composition intake. A downloading unit 52 downloads the terminal program TP based on the read address information. An installing unit 53 installs the downloaded terminal program TP.

[0076] This eliminates the need for the subject to input address information in order to install the terminal program TP, making it easier to assist in managing the intake of the composition.

[0077] [Embodiment 2] In this embodiment, a more detailed example of an information processing system will be described. Note that, in this embodiment, for simplicity of explanation, explanations that overlap with other embodiments will be omitted as appropriate.

[0078] (Configuration example of information processing system SYS2) The information processing system SYS2 includes the above-mentioned server device 30, a terminal device 50b, and an information processing device 200, as shown in FIG.

[0082] (Regarding the user interface providing unit 55) The user interface providing unit 55 provides a user interface for the subject to input predetermined information.

[0083] For example, the user interface providing unit 55 displays an input screen, which is a user interface for the subject to input information, on the display unit 54. The user interface providing unit 55 acquires, for example, information input by the subject on the input screen.

[0084] The user interface may be, for example, a dialogue interface, a calendar interface, or the like.

[0085] The input screen of the interactive interface is a screen for displaying, for example, a message or the like from the information processing device 200 and accepting a response input by the subject in response to the message or the like. When the response is transmitted to the information processing device 200 in response to an instruction from the subject, the input screen of the interactive interface may also display the response. In such an interactive interface, for example, a message or the like from the information processing device 200 and the subject's response thereto are displayed like a series of conversations.

[0086] The input screen of the calendar-type interface is a screen that includes, for example, a calendar corresponding to a month, a week, etc., and accepts input from the subject for each date included in the calendar. In such a calendar-type interface, for example, the subject can easily input information for each date and view that information together with the calendar.

[0087] The user interface is not limited to the above examples. The user interface may include an interface for inputting free words, numbers, etc. into a predetermined input field. The user interface may include, for example, an interface for selecting from a list, or a check-type interface for adding a predetermined mark indicating confirmation or selection.

[0088] (Regarding the terminal communication unit 56) The terminal communication unit 56 communicates with other devices via, for example, the communication network NT. The terminal communication unit 56 communicates with, for example, the information processing device 200, thereby transmitting and receiving information to and from the information processing device 200.

[0089] For example, the terminal communication unit 56 acquires an instruction to display an input screen from the information processing device 200. In response to this instruction, for example, the user interface providing unit 55 causes the display unit 54 to display the input screen related to the instruction.

[0090] For example, the terminal communication unit 56 transmits the information input by the subject person to the information processing device 200.

[0091] (Regarding the terminal storage unit 57) The device storage unit 57 stores, for example, some or all of the information input by the subject on the input screen. The information stored in the device storage unit 57 may be determined in advance.

[0092] (Configuration example of information processing device 200)

[0093] As shown in FIG. 10 , the information processing device 200 includes a subject memory unit 210, a subject information acquisition unit 220, a composition memory unit 230, an intake information acquisition unit 240, a creation unit 250, a purchase history memory unit 260, a purchase support unit 265, an intake history memory unit 270, an intake processing unit 280, a physical condition information acquisition unit 290, a message output unit 300, a response acquisition unit 310, a medical consultation processing unit 320, and a question processing unit 330.

[0094] (Regarding the subject storage unit 210) The subject storage unit 210 is a storage unit for storing subject information. The subject information is information about a subject. A detailed example of the subject information will be described later.

[0095] (Regarding the target person information acquisition unit 220) The subject information acquisition unit 220 acquires subject information. For example, the subject information acquisition unit 220 acquires subject information input to the terminal device 50b from the terminal device 50b. The subject information acquisition unit 220 may store the acquired subject information in the subject storage unit 210.

[0096] (Regarding the composition storage unit 230) The composition storage unit 230 is a storage unit for storing composition information related to a composition. The composition information is, for example, information that associates a composition name for identifying a composition with at least one of the following: type of composition, ingredients, efficacy, method of intake, side effects, precautions, whether or not a qualified person is required to verify the purchase, manufacturer, etc.

[0097] The composition name is information for identifying the composition, such as, but not limited to, a product name.

[0098] The type of composition is information indicating, for example, any of the above-mentioned (A) one-time ingestion type, (B) limited-period ingestion type, and (C) continuous ingestion type.

[0099] The intake method may include a predetermined appropriate frequency and intake amount for the composition. If the composition is of the (B) intake period limited type, the intake method may also include an upper limit of the intake period (maximum intake period) for the composition. The intake method may be based on attributes such as age.

[0100] The precautions may be, for example, contraindications, prohibited actions, etc. Examples of contraindications include compositions that should not be used in combination, and certain treatments such as dialysis treatment. Examples of prohibited actions include driving a car and breastfeeding.

[0101] The information on whether or not a qualified person needs to verify the purchase is information indicating whether or not verification by a prescribed qualified person such as a doctor or pharmacist is required when purchasing a composition.

[0102] The composition information may be stored in an external device (not shown). In this case, the information processing device 200 may acquire the composition information from the external device as needed.

[0103] (Regarding intake information acquisition unit 240) The intake information acquisition unit 240 acquires intake information regarding the intake of a composition by a subject. The intake information may include one or more of the following: intake time, intake history, purpose of intake, composition to be taken by the subject (e.g., composition name, etc.), planned intake period, planned intake frequency, whether or not the subject meets certain contraindications, confirmation of understanding of side effects, concomitant compositions, and physical condition at the time of intake.

[0104] The intake time may be the time when the subject started to take the composition. The intake history is the history of compositions that the subject has taken.

[0105] The purpose of ingestion is the purpose for which the subject takes the composition (for example, alleviation or elimination of hay fever symptoms, improvement of melasma, improvement of health, etc.).

[0106] The planned intake period is the period during which the subject plans to take the composition (e.g., 5 days, 1 month, etc.), and the planned intake frequency is the frequency with which the subject plans to take the composition (e.g., once daily, three times daily (morning, noon, and night), etc.).

[0107] The intake information acquiring unit 240 may acquire composition information including the efficacy of the composition. The intake information acquiring unit 240 may acquire the composition information from, for example, the composition storage unit 230. The intake information may include an intake purpose, which is the purpose for which the subject takes the composition. If the intake purpose is not included in the efficacy of the composition, the intake information acquiring unit 240 may send a confirmation message indicating that the composition is not suitable for the subject's intake purpose.

[0108] (About the creation unit 250) The creation unit 250 creates a support schedule for providing support regarding the intake of the composition by the subject. The support schedule includes, for example, a health management schedule for managing the subject's health condition, an intake schedule for supporting the subject's intake of the composition, etc.

[0109] The creation section 250 may create a health management schedule for managing the subject's health condition based on, for example, the intake information.

[0110] For example, the creation unit 250 may create a health management schedule for managing the subject's health condition based on the intake start time. The creation unit 250 may create a health management schedule for a planned intake period from the intake start time. The creation unit 250 may create a health management schedule for a maximum intake period determined for the composition from the intake start time.

[0111] The health management schedule may include, for example, as described above, at least one of (1) an initial confirmation timing corresponding to the time when a predetermined initial confirmation period has elapsed since the time of ingestion, (2) a periodic confirmation timing occurring at a predetermined confirmation cycle, and (3) an effect confirmation timing corresponding to the time when a predetermined effect confirmation period has elapsed since the time of ingestion.

[0112] The health management schedule may also include sending a message regarding at least one of (1) to (3).

[0113] (1) The predetermined message regarding the timing of initial confirmation may include, for example, an initial confirmation message to confirm at least one of whether the subject is experiencing any physical discomfort that may occur to those who consume the composition, and whether the subject is not engaging in any prohibited acts or contraindications associated with ingesting the composition.

[0114] (2) The predetermined message regarding the periodic check timing may include, for example, a periodic check message to prompt the subject to input information about his or her physical condition.

[0115] (3) The predetermined message regarding the timing of effect confirmation may include, for example, an effect confirmation message for confirming the effect of the composition with the subject.

[0116] Furthermore, the creation section 250 may create an intake schedule for supporting the subject's intake of the composition, based on at least one of the type of composition and the method of intake, for example.

[0117] For example, the creation unit 250 may acquire composition information including the type of composition. For example, the creation unit 250 may acquire composition information about the composition included in the ingestion information. The creation unit 250 may create an ingestion schedule for supporting the subject's ingestion of the composition based on the type of composition included in the acquired composition information. The creation unit 250 may create an ingestion schedule for supporting the subject's ingestion of the composition based on at least one of the type of composition and the ingestion method included in the acquired composition information.

[0118] The intake schedule may include a schedule of timing for confirming intake of the composition (intake confirmation timing). The intake schedule may include an intake confirmation message at the intake confirmation timing for confirming with the subject whether or not the composition has been taken.

[0119] (Regarding the purchase history storage unit 260) The purchase history storage unit 260 is a storage unit for storing purchase history information indicating the subject's purchase history of compositions.

[0120] (About Purchasing Support Department 265) When a subject purchases a composition, the purchase support unit 265 stores purchase history information regarding the purchase of the composition in the purchase history storage unit 260. For example, when a subject attempts to purchase a composition that requires confirmation from a predetermined qualified person, the purchase support unit 265 may store purchase history information regarding the purchase of the composition in the purchase history storage unit 260 after the subject has received confirmation from the qualified person.

[0121] (Regarding the intake history storage unit 270) The intake history storage unit 270 is a storage unit for storing intake history information indicating the history of the subject's intake of compositions.

[0122] (Regarding the intake processing unit 280) The intake processing unit 280 performs processing related to the intake of the composition (intake processing). The intake processing may include, for example, acquiring the intake time from the terminal device 50b. For example, the intake processing may include acquiring the intake time after a predetermined qualified person confirms the intake of the composition by the subject.

[0123] (Regarding the physical condition information acquisition unit 290) The physical condition information acquiring unit 290 acquires physical condition information including the physical condition input by the subject. The physical condition may include not only a physical condition such as body temperature but also a psychological state. The physical condition information acquiring unit 290 acquires, for example, physical condition information input to the terminal device 50b from the terminal device 50b.

[0124] (Message output unit 300) The message output unit 300 outputs a predetermined message based on the intake schedule and the physical condition management schedule. The message output unit 300 may output (transmit) the message to, for example, the terminal device 50b.

[0125] (Regarding the response acquisition unit 310) The response acquisition unit 310 acquires the response of the subject to the predetermined message. The response acquisition unit 310 may acquire, for example, the subject's response input to the terminal device 50b from the terminal device 50b.

[0126] (Regarding the medical examination processing unit 320) The medical examination processing unit 320 performs medical examination support processing to support the subject in visiting a medical institution.

[0127] The medical examination processing unit 320 may perform medical examination support processing to support the subject in visiting a medical institution when predetermined medical examination recommendation conditions are met. The medical examination recommendation conditions may include, for example, at least one of the following: the subject's physical condition has become poor, the composition is ineffective, etc.

[0128] The medical consultation support process may include, for example, outputting a consultation recommendation message recommending a consultation at a medical institution (for example, sending the consultation recommendation message to the terminal device 50b). The medical institution candidate information is, for example, information indicating one or more medical institutions that are candidates for the medical institution where the subject will be examined. The medical institution candidate information may include, for example, one or more of the following information about the candidate medical institutions: name, address, contact information such as telephone number, consultation dates, closed days, consultation hours, whether an appointment is required, URL (Uniform Resource Locator), etc.

[0129] The medical consultation support process may include, for example, outputting medical institution candidate information for the subject to select a medical institution (for example, transmitting the medical institution candidate information to the terminal device 50b).

[0130] The medical examination support process may include, for example, when medical institution information indicating a medical institution selected from the medical institution candidate information is acquired, performing medical examination processing to receive a medical examination at the selected medical institution. The medical examination support process may include, for example, when medical institution information indicating a medical institution designated by the subject is acquired, performing medical examination processing. The medical institution information is, for example, information indicating the medical institution selected or designated by the subject, and may include one or more of the medical institution's name, address, contact information such as telephone number, consultation dates, closed days, consultation hours, whether an appointment is required, URL, etc.

[0131] The medical examination process may be, for example, a process for making an appointment to see the patient at the selected medical institution, or a process for receiving a medical examination online.

[0132] The consultation support process and the examination process are not limited to those exemplified here.

[0133] (Regarding the question processing unit 330) The question processor 330 executes on-demand response processing for responding to any question from the subject at any time. For example, the question processor 330 uses a dialogue-type response model to output a response to a question from the subject.

[0134] For example, when the question processing unit 330 receives a notification from the terminal device 50b that the subject has a question, in response to an instruction from the subject, the question processing unit 330 may transmit a predetermined genre (physical symptoms, mental symptoms, etc.) to the terminal device 50b. Then, the question processing unit 330 may acquire the subject's question related to the selected genre in flow words, and transmit a response to the question generated using the dialogue response model to the terminal device 50b.

[0135] The interactive response model may be, for example, a machine learning model that has been trained to generate responses to free-word questions. The interactive response model may be created for each genre. In this case, the interactive response model used to generate the response may be an interactive response model corresponding to the selected genre.

[0136] The dialogue response model used by the question processing unit 330 may be, for example, included in the question processing unit 330. In this case, the question processing unit 330 may input a question into the dialogue response model to obtain a response to the question.

[0137] The dialogue response model used by the question processing unit 330 may be provided in, for example, another device (not shown). In this case, the question processing unit 330 may transmit a question to the other device and obtain a response generated by the dialogue response model by inputting the question from the other device.

[0138] The question may be a predetermined question such as a frequently asked question about the composition. In this case, the question processing unit 330 may transmit a response to a question selected from predetermined questions about a predetermined genre (physical symptoms, mental symptoms, etc.) to the terminal device 50b.

[0139] (Example of processing operation of information processing system SYS2) An example of information processing, which is the processing operation of the information processing system SYS2, will now be described.

[0140] The information processing executed by the information processing system SYS2 includes, for example, a registration process for registering a subject, an intake information acquisition process for acquiring intake information, and an assistance schedule creation process for creating an assistance schedule.

[0141] The information processing performed by the information processing system SYS2 includes, for example, purchase support processing to assist in managing the purchase of compositions, intake processing to manage the subject's history of composition intake, and health management processing to manage the subject's health condition.

[0142] The information processing executed by the information processing system SYS2 includes, for example, support processing for supporting management of the intake of the composition according to an intake schedule and a health management schedule.

[0143] The information processing executed by the information processing system SYS2 includes, for example, a question answering process for answering questions from the subject at any time.

[0144] These processes will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

[0145] (Regarding registration process) 11 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the intake information acquisition process. The registration process may be executed immediately after the terminal program TP is installed in the terminal device 50b. Note that the trigger for starting the registration process is not limited to this, and may be executed, for example, in response to a request from the subject.

[0146] The user interface providing unit 55 causes the display unit 54 to display an input screen for the subject person to input subject information (step S211). The user interface providing unit 55 acquires the subject information input by the subject person according to the input screen (step S212). The terminal communication unit 56 transmits the subject information (step S213).

[0147] The subject information acquiring unit 220 acquires the subject information transmitted in step S213 (step S214). The subject information acquiring unit 220 stores the subject information acquired in step S214 in the subject storage unit 210 (step S215).

[0148] The subject information may include, for example, at least one of the subject ID, password, name, contact information, date of birth, gender, occupation, personal identification information, current physical condition, medical history, composition being taken, disease being treated, composition that has caused poor health, etc.

[0149] The subject ID (Identification) is information for identifying the subject. The password is used for logging in to receive services provided by the information processing device 100, i.e., for the subject to receive support for managing the intake of the composition. The subject ID and password may be set by the subject based on input on an input screen, or may be automatically assigned by the information processing device 100 and notified to the subject in an appropriate manner, such as by displaying the ID and password on the input screen.

[0150] The contact information may include, for example, at least one of an address, a place of residence, a telephone number, an email address, etc. The personal identification information may include, for example, at least one of an insurance card number, a My Number, etc. The subject information acquisition unit 220 may, for example, use the personal identification information to acquire, for example, at least one of a name, contact information, a date of birth, a gender, etc. from an external device (not shown). This reduces the effort required for inputting the subject's information.

[0151] The current physical condition may include whether or not the subject is in poor health and the degree of poor health, and may be information freely input by the subject. The current physical condition may be, for example, good, normal, poor health, or more specifically, high blood pressure, liver dysfunction, heart disease, kidney disease, etc.

[0152] A medical history is, for example, a disease for which the subject has been treated. A composition being ingested is, for example, a composition that the subject is ingesting. A disease being treated is, for example, a disease for which the subject is being treated.

[0153] It should be noted that whether input of each piece of information included in the subject information is mandatory or optional may be determined as appropriate. Optional information may be left as "prefer not to answer," left blank, or other predetermined content.

[0154] By executing such a registration process, it is possible to acquire (register) subject information. Furthermore, by using subject information such as current physical condition, medical history, composition being taken, illness being treated, and composition that has caused poor physical condition, if the composition that the subject is about to take is inappropriate for the subject, a message to that effect can be output.

[0155] (Regarding intake information acquisition processing) 12 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the intake information acquisition process. The intake information acquisition process may be executed, for example, following the registration process or in response to an instruction from the subject. Note that the trigger for starting the intake information acquisition process is not limited to this.

[0156] The user interface providing unit 55 displays an input screen on the display unit 54 for the subject to input intake information (step S221). The user interface providing unit 55 acquires the intake information input by the subject according to the input screen (step S222). The device communication unit 56 transmits the intake information (step S223).

[0157] As described above, the intake information may include, for example, the intake start time, the intake purpose, the composition name, etc. In step S222, for example, the composition name, etc. may be acquired based on information read by the reading unit 51 from a code or an RFID tag attached to the package of the composition, etc.

[0158] The intake information acquisition unit 240 acquires the intake information transmitted in step S223 (step S224).

[0159] The intake information acquisition unit 240 acquires composition information based on the intake information acquired in step S224 (step S225).

[0160] For example, the intake information acquisition section 240 acquires, from the composition storage section 230, composition information of the composition to be ingested by the subject, based on the composition name included in the intake information.

[0161] The intake information acquisition unit 240 determines whether the purpose of intake is included in the efficacy of the composition based on the intake information and composition information acquired in steps S224 and S225 (step S226).

[0162] For example, the intake information acquiring unit 240 determines whether the purpose of intake included in the intake information is included in the efficacy of the composition included in the composition information, thereby enabling the intake information acquiring unit 240 to determine whether the composition ingested by the subject is suitable for the subject's purpose of intake.

[0163] If the purpose of ingestion is not included in the efficacy of the composition (step S226; No), the ingestion information acquisition unit 240 sends a confirmation message to, for example, the terminal device 50b, indicating that the composition is not suitable for the subject's purpose of ingestion (step S227).

[0164] When the terminal communication unit 56 receives the confirmation message sent in step S227, the user interface providing unit 55 causes the display unit 54 to display the confirmation message and an input screen for inputting a response to the confirmation message (step S228).

[0165] This allows the subject to refer to the confirmation message and determine whether or not to change the composition to be ingested. When changing the composition to be ingested, for example, the user interface providing unit 55 may display composition information of a composition that is suitable for the purpose of ingestion in response to an operation by the subject.

[0166] Furthermore, for example, in response to an operation by the subject, the user interface providing unit 55 may display information about medical institutions, pharmacies, stores, etc. where the composition can be purchased. This information may be obtained by the terminal communication unit 56 from an external device (not shown), for example.

[0167] The user interface providing unit 55 determines whether or not an instruction to change the composition to be ingested has been received (step S229).

[0168] For example, the user interface providing unit 55 may determine that a change instruction has been received when a predetermined operation for changing the composition to be ingested is performed on the input screen displayed in step S228. Alternatively, for example, the user interface providing unit 55 may determine that a change instruction has not been received when a predetermined operation for not changing the composition to be ingested is performed on the input screen displayed in step S228. Note that the method for determining whether a change instruction has been received is not limited to the example given here.

[0169] If it is determined that an instruction to change the composition to be ingested has been received (step S229; Yes), the process returns to step S222.

[0170] If it is determined that the instruction to change the composition to be ingested has not been accepted (step S229; No), the terminal communication unit 56 transmits a response indicating that the composition to be ingested will not be changed (step S230). The intake information acquisition unit 240 acquires the response transmitted in step S230 (step S231).

[0171] If the purpose of ingestion is included in the efficacy of the composition (step S226; Yes), or following step S231, the ingestion information acquisition section 240 transmits a timing acquisition instruction (step S232).

[0172] The timing acquisition instruction is an instruction to acquire the intake start time.

[0173] When the device communication unit 56 receives the time acquisition instruction transmitted in step S232, the user interface providing unit 55 displays an input screen for inputting the intake start time on the display unit 54 (step S233). The user interface providing unit 55 acquires the intake start time based on the input by the subject (step S234). The device communication unit 56 transmits the intake start time to, for example, the information processing device 200 (step S235).

[0174] The intake information acquisition unit 240 acquires the intake start time transmitted in step S235 (step S236).

[0175] In step S226, the intake information acquiring section 240 may determine whether or not the composition is suitable for the subject based on, for example, the subject information and the composition information.

[0176] For example, the intake information acquisition unit 240 may determine whether a composition is suitable for a subject based on the occupation, medical history, composition being taken, illness being treated, composition that has caused poor health, etc. included in the subject information, as well as the side effects, contraindications, prohibited actions, ingredients, etc. of the composition information.

[0177] In detail, for example, the intake information acquisition unit 240 may previously store an inappropriateness pattern that defines a combination of occupations and side effects that are inappropriate for the intake of a composition, and may determine whether the composition is suitable for the subject based on the inappropriateness pattern. An example of a combination of occupation and side effect included in the inappropriateness pattern is driving and drowsiness. In this case, the intake information acquisition unit 240 may determine that the composition is unsuitable for the subject if the subject information includes a driver in the occupation category and the composition information includes drowsiness in the side effects category. The intake information acquisition unit 240 may determine that the composition is unsuitable for the subject if, for example, the subject's medical history, the composition being taken, or the disease being treated is included in the contraindications or prohibited acts. For example, the intake information acquisition unit 240 may determine that the composition is unsuitable for the subject if the composition information includes a component that has previously caused poor physical condition.

[0178] In step S227, the intake information acquisition section 240 may send a confirmation message to the effect that the composition is not suitable for the subject.

[0179] If the intake information acquired in step S224 includes the intake start time and the composition to be ingested remains unchanged, the processes from step S232 onwards may not be performed.

[0180] By executing such an intake information acquisition process, for example, intake information can be acquired. The intake information acquisition section 240 may store the acquired intake information in the intake history storage section 270.

[0181] (Regarding support schedule creation process) 13 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the assistance schedule creation process. The assistance schedule creation process may be executed, for example, following the intake information acquisition process or in response to an instruction from the subject. Note that the trigger for starting the assistance schedule creation process is not limited to this.

[0182] The preparation section 250 determines whether the subject has ingested the composition only once, for example, based on the intake information and the composition information (step S241).

[0183] For example, the creation unit 250 may identify the type of composition ingested by the subject based on the composition information about the composition included in the intake information. The creation unit 250 may determine whether the subject ingested the composition only once based on the identified type of composition.

[0184] In detail, for example, if the type of composition is (A) a one-time ingestion type, the creation unit 250 may determine that the subject has ingested the composition only once. For example, if the type of composition is (B) an ingestion period limited type or (C) a continuous ingestion type, the creation unit 250 may determine that the subject has not ingested the composition only once.

[0185] If it is determined that the subject has taken the composition only once (step S241; Yes), the preparation section 250 determines whether the subject has already taken the composition, for example, based on the intake information (step S242).

[0186] For example, the creation unit 250 may determine whether the subject has already ingested the composition based on whether the intake start time included in the intake information is before the current time when the assistance schedule creation process is executed.

[0187] In detail, for example, the creation unit 250 may determine that the subject has already ingested the composition if the ingestion start time is before the current time. The creation unit 250 may determine that the subject has not yet ingested the composition if the ingestion start time is not before the current time (i.e., if the ingestion start time is after the current time).

[0188] If it is determined that the subject has already taken the composition (step S242; Yes), the creation unit 250 creates a health care schedule for managing the subject's health condition (step S243).

[0189] The health management schedule includes, for example, schedules for (1) initial check timing, (2) periodic check timing, and (3) effect check timing.

[0190] <(1) Initial confirmation timing and schedule example> (1) The initial confirmation timing is, for example, a timing corresponding to the time when a predetermined initial confirmation period has elapsed since the time of intake, as described above. (1) The schedule for the initial confirmation timing may include, for example, sending a predetermined message (e.g., an initial confirmation message) regarding the initial confirmation timing.

[0191] Generally, a person who takes a composition may experience poor health within a certain period of time after taking the composition, and there may be actions (prohibited actions) that the person who takes the composition should avoid within a certain period of time after taking the composition, or items (contraindications) that the person who takes the composition should avoid within a certain period of time after taking the composition.

[0192] The initial confirmation period may be a period for confirming, for example, at least one of the following: possible physical discomfort to the user; and the absence of any prohibited actions or contraindications associated with taking the composition.

[0193] In more detail, for example, the composition information may include a period during which the user may experience poor health, or a period corresponding to prohibited actions or taboos. In this case, the creation unit 250 may identify these periods based on the composition information about the composition to be ingested by the subject, and set the initial confirmation period according to the identified period. Note that the initial confirmation period may include one or more periods depending on the poor health that the user may experience, prohibited actions or taboos associated with ingesting the composition, etc.

[0194] <(2) Examples of periodic check timing and schedule> (2) The periodic confirmation timing is, for example, a timing that occurs at a predetermined confirmation cycle, as described above. (3) Each of the periodic confirmation timing schedules may include, for example, the transmission of a predetermined message (for example, a periodic confirmation message) regarding the periodic confirmation timing.

[0195] Generally, after ingesting a composition, it is desirable to continuously monitor the physical condition of the user. The physical condition may include not only a physical condition such as body temperature but also a psychological state. For example, the monitoring period is a period for continuously monitoring the physical condition of the user, and may be set to a period suitable for continuously monitoring the physical condition of the user. The periodic monitoring schedule may be repeated at least until the effect monitoring timing, for example.

[0196] <(4) Timing for confirming effectiveness and example schedule> (4) The timing for effect confirmation is, for example, a timing corresponding to the time when a predetermined period for effect confirmation has elapsed since the time of intake, as described above. (4) The schedule for the timing for effect confirmation may include, for example, sending a predetermined message (e.g., an effect confirmation message) regarding the timing for effect confirmation.

[0197] Generally, it often takes a certain period of time from ingestion to confirm the effect of a composition. The effect confirmation period is, for example, a period during which the effect of the composition is confirmed in a subject, and may be determined according to a general period during which the effect appears in a person who takes the composition.

[0198] In more detail, for example, the composition information may include a period during which the effects of the composition are to appear. The creation unit 250 may specify this period based on the composition information about the composition to be ingested by the subject, and set the effect confirmation period according to the specified period.

[0199] In addition, when the composition information does not include the period during which the effects of the composition appear, the effect confirmation period may be a predetermined period such as one week, two weeks, or one month.

[0200] FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a health management schedule.

[0201] The health management schedule shown in Figure 14 is an example of a health management schedule in which the initial confirmation period includes a first initial confirmation period of 2 hours and a second initial confirmation period of 24 hours, the confirmation cycle is 1 day, and the effect confirmation period is 3 weeks.

[0202] <(1) Timing of initial confirmation and detailed example of schedule> 14 includes transmitting an initial confirmation message 1 at an initial confirmation timing S1, which is two hours after the intake time S0. S1 is, for example, a time (e.g., date and time) two hours after S0.

[0203] The initial confirmation message 1 may include, for example, a message to confirm whether the subject is experiencing any ill health (e.g., vomiting after ingestion) that may occur in a person who consumes the composition. For example, the initial confirmation message 1 may include a message such as "Two hours have passed since ingestion. Are you experiencing any ill health such as vomiting?"

[0204] 14 includes transmitting an initial confirmation message 2 at an initial confirmation timing S2, which is 24 hours after the intake time S0. S2 is, for example, a time (e.g., date and time) 24 hours after S0.

[0205] Initial confirmation message 2 may include, for example, a message to confirm that the subject has not engaged in any prohibited actions or contraindications associated with taking the composition (e.g., that the subject has not breast-fed after taking the composition). For example, initial confirmation message 1 may include a message such as, "24 hours have passed since taking the composition. Have you breast-fed since taking the composition?"

[0206] The initial confirmation timing and the initial confirmation message are not limited to the above examples. For example, the health management schedule may include sending an initial confirmation message at the initial confirmation timing 48 hours after the intake time S0 to confirm the contraindication of not ingesting a combination composition containing a predetermined ingredient. This health management schedule may be created when the combination composition included in the subject information contains the predetermined ingredient. Furthermore, although the above-mentioned initial confirmation messages 1 and 2 are different examples, some or all of the initial confirmation messages may contain the same message.

[0207] In this way, an initial confirmation message may be sent at the initial confirmation timing to confirm with the subject that at least one of the following has occurred: poor physical condition associated with taking the composition, and that the subject is not engaging in any prohibited acts or contraindications. This can assist in managing at least one of the subject's physical condition and that the subject is not engaging in any prohibited acts or contraindications.

[0208] The initial confirmation message may also include predetermined initial confirmation items such as vomiting, breastfeeding, etc., as described above. The initial confirmation items may also include, for example, items related to at least one of physical ailments that may occur during the initial confirmation period and prohibited actions or contraindications associated with taking the composition. This allows the subject to know specifically what physical ailments may occur or specific prohibited actions or contraindications, and to respond accordingly.

[0209] <(2) Detailed examples of periodic check timing and schedule> 14 includes sending periodic confirmation messages at periodic confirmation times C1 to C21, one day at a time from intake time S0 until the three-week effect confirmation period has elapsed. Each of C1 to C21 is, for example, a time designated by the subject (e.g., 7:00 AM) one day (24 hours) after intake time S0.

[0210] The periodic check message may include, for example, the message "How are you feeling today?"

[0211] Furthermore, for example, the periodic confirmation message may further include at least one of the following as individual items for health management: "Physical condition... 1. Stable 2. Unstable," "Mental condition... 1. Stable 2. Unstable," "Body temperature... 1. Normal temperature, 2. Slight fever, 3. High fever," etc. By sending these messages, in this example, numbers are assigned to the response items such as "stable" and "unstable" for each condition, and the subject may use these numbers to respond to the messages. This makes it easier for the subject to input information for health management.

[0212] Note that the individual items and answer items for managing physical condition are not limited to those exemplified here. For example, the body temperature may be configured so that the body temperature (degrees) on the day it was measured is input as a response. Also, for example, some or all of the periodic confirmation messages for the periodic confirmation timings may include different messages. For example, the periodic confirmation messages may include different messages depending on the period that has elapsed since the intake time S0 (e.g., 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, etc. since the intake time S0).

[0213] In this way, periodic confirmation messages may be sent to prompt the subject to input their physical condition at the periodic confirmation timing, thereby supporting the subject who has taken the composition in managing their physical condition on an ongoing basis.

[0214] <(3) Timing of effect confirmation and detailed example of schedule> 14 includes sending an effect confirmation message at effect confirmation timing R1, which is three weeks after intake time S0. R1 is, for example, a time (e.g., date and time) three weeks after S0.

[0215] The effect confirmation timing R1 does not have to be, for example, the time (e.g., date and time) exactly three weeks into the effect confirmation period from S0, but may be, for example, a time within the day designated by the subject, a predetermined time, etc. This time designated by the subject may be the same as or different from the time designated by the subject for the periodic confirmation timing.

[0216] For example, if the purpose of taking the product is "XX", the effect confirmation message may include at least one of the following messages: "Did XX get better?", "Did XX improve?", "Did you achieve the desired effect?", etc.

[0217] In this way, an effect confirmation message for confirming the effect of the composition to the subject may be sent at the timing of effect confirmation, thereby supporting management of the effect of the composition.

[0218] The effect confirmation message may also include, for example, effect confirmation items predetermined according to the purpose of intake. The effect confirmation items may include, for example, at least one item of the condition of symptoms, current physical condition, and current psychological state. This allows the subject to recognize a specific method for confirming whether or not the effect according to the purpose of intake has been achieved, and to confirm the effect.

[0219] The effect confirmation message may further include, for example, a message for confirming the subject's physical condition. By sending such an effect confirmation message, it is possible to support the subject who has taken the composition in managing their physical condition.

[0220] Referring again to FIG. If it is determined that the subject has not yet taken the composition (step S242; No), the creation section 250 creates an intake schedule to support the subject in taking the composition (step S244).

[0221] The intake schedule includes, for example, a schedule of intake confirmation timing.

[0222] (Examples of timing and schedule for confirming intake) The timing of confirming ingestion is, for example, the timing of confirming ingestion of the composition, as described above.

[0223] The intake confirmation timing may be, for example, the intake start time (planned intake start time) included in the intake information. The intake confirmation timing may be determined, for example, according to the time when the composition should be ingested. In this case, the intake confirmation timing may be determined based on the intake method, etc. included in the composition information. The intake confirmation timing may be specified, for example, by the subject. There may be one or more intake confirmation timings.

[0224] FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of an intake schedule.

[0225] The intake schedule shown in FIG. 15 is an example of an intake schedule when the intake method included in the composition information specifies 72 hours and 120 hours as the elapsed time from the reference time T0. The reference time T0 may be a time that triggers the intake of the composition, such as the time when symptoms requiring intake of the composition appear. The reference time T0 may be included in the intake information. 72 hours is an example of an elapsed time when the effects of the composition are likely to be obtained. 120 hours is an example of an elapsed time when the effects of the composition are unlikely to be obtained.

[0226] 15 includes transmitting an intake confirmation message 1 at an intake confirmation timing T1 within 72 hours from a reference time T0. T1 may be, for example, a time (e.g., date and time) 72 hours after T0, or a time (e.g., date and time) a predetermined time (e.g., 1 hour, 2 hours, etc.) before 72 hours have elapsed since T0.

[0227] 15 includes transmitting an intake confirmation message 2 at an intake confirmation timing T2 within 120 hours from the reference time T0. T2 may be, for example, a time (e.g., date and time) 120 hours after T0, or a time (e.g., date and time) a predetermined time (e.g., 1 hour, 2 hours, etc.) before 120 hours have elapsed since T0.

[0228] Intake confirmation messages 1 and 2 may include a common message, such as "Have you taken the composition?". Intake confirmation messages 1 and 2 may include different messages, such as the effect of the composition depending on the timing of the intake confirmation. For example, intake confirmation message 1 may include information that excellent effects can be expected if taken within 72 hours of sexual intercourse. For example, intake confirmation message 2 may include information that the likelihood of obtaining effects is reduced if taken more than 120 hours after sexual intercourse.

[0229] In this way, an intake confirmation message may be sent to the subject at the intake confirmation timing to confirm whether or not the subject has taken the composition, thereby helping the subject to take the composition by the time it is due to be taken.

[0230] Referring again to FIG. The creation unit 250 creates a physical condition management schedule (step S245). The physical condition management schedule may be the same as the schedule in step S243.

[0231] When it is determined that the intake is not only once (step S241; No), the preparation section 250 determines whether or not a maximum intake period for the composition to be ingested by the subject is defined (step S246).

[0232] For example, the creation unit 250 may determine whether a maximum intake period has been set based on whether a maximum intake period is included in the composition information about the composition to be ingested by the subject. For example, the creation unit 250 may determine that a maximum intake period has been set if the maximum intake period is included in the composition information. For example, the creation unit 250 may determine that a maximum intake period has not been set if the maximum intake period is not included in the composition information.

[0233] If it is determined that the maximum intake period has been determined (step S246; Yes), the creation section 250 creates an intake schedule (step S247).

[0234] The intake schedule created in step S247 is, for example, a schedule for the maximum intake period from the intake start time (planned intake start time) included in the intake information. The intake schedule created in step S247 includes the intake confirmation timing and its schedule, similar to the intake schedule created in step S244.

[0235] The timing of confirming intake may be, for example, a time designated by the subject within the maximum intake period from the intake start time (planned intake start time) or based on the intake method included in the composition information. In more detail, for example, if the intake method is three times a day (morning, noon, and night), the creation unit 250 may create an intake schedule including three intake confirmation timings (e.g., 7:00, 13:00, and 19:00) specified by the subject. Furthermore, if the maximum intake period is, for example, five days, the creation unit 250 may create an intake schedule including three intake confirmation timings for each of the five days.

[0236] At the intake confirmation timing, an intake confirmation message may be sent to the subject to confirm whether or not the subject has taken the composition, thereby helping the subject to take the composition by the time it is due to be taken.

[0237] The creation unit 250 creates a physical condition management schedule (step S248).

[0238] The health management schedule created in step S248 may include, for example, the timing for checking the effects according to the maximum intake period. Except for this, the health management schedule created in step S248 may be the same as the health management schedule created in step S243.

[0239] If it is determined that the maximum intake period has not been determined (step S246; No), the creation unit 250 creates an intake schedule (step S249).

[0240] The intake schedule created in step S247 may include, for example, intake confirmation timings and schedules that are continuously repeated from the intake start time (planned intake start time) included in the intake information.

[0241] The creation unit 250 creates a physical condition management schedule (step S250).

[0242] The health management schedule created in step S248 may include, for example, the same initial check timing and schedule as the health management schedule created in step S248.

[0243] The health management schedule created in step S248 may include, for example, a periodic check timing and schedule that is continuously repeated from the intake start time (scheduled intake start time) included in the intake information.

[0244] The health management schedule created in step S248 may include, for example, the timing and schedule for effect confirmation that is repeated continuously during the effect confirmation period.

[0245] By executing such a support schedule creation process, a health management schedule according to the composition etc. to be ingested by the subject can be created. Also, an intake schedule according to the composition etc. to be ingested by the subject can be created.

[0246] Here, an example has been described in which a support schedule (physical condition management schedule and physical condition management schedule) with a pattern according to the type of composition and the method of ingestion is created, but the support schedule pattern (schedule pattern) is not limited to the example shown here. The creation unit 250 may, for example, store in advance a schedule pattern according to one or more combinations included in the composition information, subject information, etc. The creation unit 250 may create a support schedule according to a schedule pattern corresponding to the subject's composition information, subject information, etc.

[0247] (About purchase assistance processing) 16 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the purchase support process. The purchase support process may be executed, for example, when the target person purchases a composition, by the purchase support unit 265 acquiring the name of the composition from the terminal device 50b. Note that the trigger for starting the support schedule creation process is not limited to this.

[0248] The purchase support unit 265 determines whether or not the subject needs to verify the qualifications of the composition he or she is purchasing (step S261).

[0249] For example, when the purchase support unit 265 acquires the name of a composition from the terminal device 50b, it determines whether or not the purchase of the composition requires confirmation from a qualified person based on the composition information including the composition name.

[0250] If it is determined that confirmation of a qualified person is necessary (step S261; Yes), the purchase support unit 265 transmits a qualified person confirmation message for a predetermined qualified person to confirm the subject's intake of the composition (step S262).

[0251] For example, the purchase support unit 265 transmits a qualified person confirmation message to the terminal device 50b. The predetermined qualified person is, for example, a doctor, a pharmacist, etc., as described above. The qualified person confirmation message may include some or all of the target person information. The qualified person confirmation message may include one or more of the following: physical conditions that may occur in the person who takes the composition, and prohibited actions or contraindications associated with taking the composition.

[0252] The terminal communication unit 56 acquires the qualified person confirmation message output in step S262 (step S263). The user interface providing unit 55 displays an input screen on the display unit 54 for inputting that the qualified person has confirmed (step S264).

[0253] This input screen may include a message verifying eligibility.

[0254] For example, if the qualified person confirmation message includes some or all of the subject information, the qualified person can confirm some or all of the subject information to confirm that there are no problems with the subject taking the composition. Furthermore, the qualified person can provide advice or caution to the subject based on some or all of the subject information, for example, if the subject is breastfeeding or taking a combination composition containing a specified ingredient.

[0255] For example, if the qualified person confirmation message includes one or more of the following: possible health problems that may occur to the person taking the composition, prohibited actions or contraindications associated with taking the composition, the subject can review the qualified person confirmation message together with the qualified person, thereby helping the subject to reliably understand the precautions that should be taken when taking the composition.

[0256] The terminal communication unit 56 outputs qualified person confirmation information based on, for example, an operation by the qualified person, the subject person, or the like (step S265).

[0257] The qualified person confirmation information is, for example, information indicating that a predetermined qualified person has confirmed the intake of the composition. The input screen displayed in step S223 by the terminal communication unit 56 may include, for example, an item (e.g., a check item) that the qualified person or the subject inputs to indicate that the subject understands the composition and has no problems with its intake. This item may be, for example, an item included in a medical questionnaire, questionnaire, or the like used by the subject at a medical institution, pharmacy, drug store, or other store. Then, for example, when the send button is pressed (touched) after checking the item, the terminal communication unit 56 transmits the qualified person confirmation information to the information processing device 200.

[0258] The qualified person confirmation information may include a qualified person ID (e.g., a registration number, name, and name of the hospital or pharmacy) for identifying the qualified person who conducted the confirmation together with the subject. The qualified person ID may be entered by the qualified person, or may be read from a code or RFID tag by the reading unit 51. Furthermore, the qualified person confirmation information may be generated based on an image captured by a camera or the like when the subject fills out required information on a medical questionnaire or questionnaire at a medical institution, pharmacy, drug store, or other store. This reduces the time and effort required for the subject to both fill out and input the same information. Furthermore, for example, the qualified person confirmation information may be output from a qualified person device (not shown) when the qualified person creates the information based on a medical questionnaire or other information from the subject. The qualified person device terminal may be, for example, a device installed in a hospital, pharmacy, or other store. The qualified person device terminal may be, for example, a device for the qualified person to input information received from the subject, or a device for managing the information.

[0259] The purchase support unit 265 acquires the qualified person confirmation information output in step S265 as a response to the qualified person confirmation message (step S266).

[0260] If it is determined that confirmation of a qualified person is not necessary (step S261; No), or following step S266, the purchase support unit 265 acquires the purchase time (step S267).

[0261] For example, if the purchase support unit 265 determines that verification of a qualified person is not required (step S261; No), it may acquire the current time at the start of the purchase support process (for example, when the composition name is acquired from the terminal device 50b) as the purchase time.

[0262] For example, when executing step S267 following step S266, the purchase support unit 265 may acquire the current time when the qualified person verification information is acquired as the purchase time.

[0263] The purchase support unit 265 stores the purchase history information of the composition purchased by the subject in the purchase history storage unit 260 (step S268).

[0264] For example, the purchase support unit 265 may store purchase history information including the composition name acquired from the terminal device 50b at the start of the purchase support process and the purchase time acquired in step S267 in the purchase history storage unit 260. Furthermore, when confirmation of the qualification has been received, the purchase support unit 265 may store purchase history information further including information indicating this in the purchase history storage unit 260.

[0265] By executing such a purchasing support process, the history of the composition purchased by the subject can be managed. In addition, when purchasing a composition that requires qualification confirmation, the history of the composition can also be managed, including whether the qualification confirmation has been received.

[0266] (Regarding intake processing) 17 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the intake process. The intake process is executed, for example, when a subject who is about to ingest the composition performs a predetermined operation on terminal device 50b. Note that the trigger for starting the intake process is not limited to this.

[0267] As described below, the intake process includes acquiring the intake time. When the subject ingests a composition that requires confirmation by a predetermined qualified person, the intake process may be executed after the predetermined qualified person confirms the subject's ingestion of the composition. In this case, the intake process may be executed, for example, on the condition that at least the processes of S262 to S266 have been executed for the composition to be ingested by the subject. That is, the intake processing unit 280 may execute the intake process, including acquiring the intake time, after the predetermined qualified person confirms the subject's ingestion of the composition. As described above, the confirmation here is to confirm that there are no problems with ingesting the composition and that the subject understands the precautions that should be taken when ingesting the composition.

[0268] The user interface providing unit 55 causes the display unit 54 to display an input screen for acquiring the intake time (step S271).

[0269] This input screen may include, for example, an input field for the subject to input the composition to be ingested, a send button to be pressed after ingestion, and a message to the subject to press the send button after ingestion.

[0270] The terminal communication unit 56 outputs an intake completion report based on an operation by, for example, a qualified person, a subject person, or the like (step S272).

[0271] The intake completion report is information indicating that the intake of the composition has been completed. For example, if the composition is a drug or the like that must be taken (administered) in the presence of a qualified person, such as an emergency contraceptive, the operation for outputting the intake completion report may be performed by the qualified person, for example, when the qualified person confirms the subject's intake (administration) in front of the subject. Also, for example, if the composition is something other than a drug or the like that must be taken (administered) in the presence of a qualified person, the operation for outputting the intake completion report may be performed by the subject who has taken the composition. For example, when the send button is pressed, the terminal communication unit 56 transmits the intake completion report to the information processing device 200. The completion report may include the name of the composition that the subject is taking.

[0272] The intake processing unit 280 acquires the intake time based on the intake completion report output in step S272 (step S230).

[0273] For example, the intake processing unit 280 may acquire the current time when the intake completion report is acquired from the terminal device 50b as the intake time. For example, the terminal communication unit 56 may output an intake completion report including the intake time, and the intake processing unit 280 may acquire the intake time based on this intake completion report.

[0274] The intake processing unit 280 stores the intake history information of the compositions ingested by the subject in the intake history storage unit 270 (step S274). The intake history information may include, for example, the names of the compositions ingested by the subject, the intake times, etc.

[0275] By carrying out such an intake process, it is possible to manage the subject's history of composition intake.

[0276] Furthermore, the operation for outputting the intake completion report may be performed by a qualified person, as described above. In this case, the intake time is acquired after further confirming that the subject took the composition in the presence of the qualified person. This makes it possible to ensure that the subject took the composition in the presence of the qualified person.

[0277] If the composition is a drug or the like that must be taken (administered) in the presence of a qualified person, the purchase support unit 265 may determine in step S261 whether the composition purchased by the subject needs to be taken in the presence of a qualified person. If it is necessary to take it in the presence of a qualified person (step S261; Yes), steps S271 to S274 may be executed following steps S262 to S266. Then, steps S267 to S268 may be further executed. In this case, in steps S267 to S268, the time of administration may be used as the time of purchase. In this way, the time of administration may be acquired after further confirmation that the subject has taken the composition in the presence of a qualified person.

[0278] (Regarding health management procedures) The physical condition management process is executed, for example, when a subject who is to input periodic physical condition performs a predetermined operation on the terminal device 50b. Note that the trigger for starting the physical condition management process is not limited to this.

[0279] The physical condition is input, for example, at a check cycle. It is desirable that such physical condition be input within a certain period of time from the periodic check timing. For example, if the check cycle is one day and the periodic check timing is 7:00 AM, it is undesirable to input the physical condition from the previous night. Therefore, an instruction to start the physical condition management process corresponding to a certain periodic check timing may be accepted from a predetermined time before the periodic check timing (for example, two hours before).

[0280] In contrast to this, it may be determined as appropriate whether or not an instruction to start a health management process corresponding to a certain periodic check timing is accepted after the periodic check timing, and if so, whether or not to impose a limit on the period for acceptance.

[0281] For example, if a user did not enter his or her physical condition for a certain day, the user can recall and enter the physical condition for that day. Therefore, by accepting an instruction to start a physical condition management process corresponding to a certain periodic check timing at any time after the periodic check timing, it is possible to manage many likely periodic physical conditions. On the other hand, in order to ensure accurate physical condition management, such as body temperature, the physical condition management process corresponding to a certain periodic check timing may be limited to a predetermined time (e.g., within two hours) after the periodic check timing. Such a limit may be set in advance for each of the above-mentioned physical condition management items.

[0282] FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the physical condition management process.

[0283] The user interface providing unit 55 causes the display unit 54 to display an input screen for acquiring physical condition information (step S281).

[0284] This input screen may be, for example, a calendar-type interface. That is, the input screen may include, for example, a monthly or weekly calendar. This calendar may also include the physical condition and intake period for each periodic check timing (for example, each date) that has been input so far. The physical condition and intake period may be represented using appropriate icons.

[0285] To input the physical condition corresponding to a certain periodic check timing (for example, a certain date), the subject may select the periodic check timing from a calendar included in the input screen, for example.

[0286] The user interface providing unit 55 may further display, for example, an input screen on the display unit 54 for inputting the physical condition corresponding to the selected day. This input screen is a screen for the subject to input items included in the physical condition information, such as "physical condition," "mental condition," and "body temperature." This input screen may be a screen for selecting either "1. Stable" or "2. Unstable" for each of "physical condition" and "mental condition," and for "body temperature," selecting either "1. Normal temperature," "2. Slight fever," or "3. High fever." The user interface providing unit 55 acquires physical condition information including the physical condition, mental condition, and body temperature for the selected day, based on, for example, the user's selection (input). Here, the specific body temperature ranges for normal temperature, slight fever, and high fever may be predetermined.

[0287] The physical condition information may include, for example, information (items) indicating whether or not the effects corresponding to the intended purpose of ingestion have been obtained. Note that the items included in the physical condition information are not limited to the above examples and may include one or more items. The physical condition information may include, for example, items related to prohibited acts or taboos associated with ingestion of the composition.

[0288] The method of acquiring the physical condition information is not limited to the example given here. For example, the user interface providing unit 55 may acquire physical condition information such as body temperature from a wristwatch-type wearable device used by the subject.

[0289] The terminal communication unit 56 outputs the physical condition information acquired using, for example, the input screen displayed in step S281 (step S282).

[0290] For example, the terminal communication unit 56 transmits the physical condition information to the information processing device 200.

[0291] The physical condition information acquisition unit 290 acquires the physical condition information output in step S282 (step S283).

[0292] The medical examination processing unit 320 determines whether or not the medical examination recommendation conditions are met based on the physical condition information acquired in step S283 (step S284).

[0293] For example, if a predetermined malfunction is "present," the medical examination processing unit 320 may determine that the medical examination recommendation condition is met. For example, if a predetermined malfunction is "not present," the medical examination processing unit 320 may determine that the medical examination recommendation condition is not met.

[0294] If it is determined that the consultation recommendation conditions are met (step S284; Yes), the consultation processing unit 320 executes the consultation support process (step S285).

[0295] The consultation support process includes, for example, as described above, at least one of sending medical institution candidate information to the terminal device 50b and consultation process for receiving a consultation at a selected or designated medical institution.

[0296] If it is determined that the medical examination recommendation conditions are not met (step S284; No), the medical examination processing unit 320 ends the physical condition management process.

[0297] In addition, the cases where a specified prohibited act or taboo item has been "performed" and "not performed" may be treated in the same way as the cases where a specified illness has "occurred" and "not occurred," respectively.

[0298] By executing such a health management process, it is possible to manage the subject's health condition and warn them not to engage in certain prohibited acts or taboos. Furthermore, if the subject's health condition deteriorates or if the subject engages in certain prohibited acts or taboos, it is possible to support the subject in visiting a medical institution.

[0299] Furthermore, when a patient visits a medical institution, various information such as subject information, physical condition information, etc. may be referenced using, for example, the terminal device 50b, etc. This allows the patient to receive a medical examination with accurate information provided to a doctor, etc., thereby supporting the patient's visit to the medical institution.

[0300] The physical condition information acquiring unit 290 may store the acquired physical condition information in a physical condition storage unit (not shown) for storing physical condition information. The physical condition information stored in this manner may be displayed, for example, as part of a calendar for inputting physical condition information.

[0301] (About support processing) The support process includes an intake support process based on an intake schedule and a physical condition management support process based on a physical condition management schedule. Each of these will be described below.

[0302] (Regarding intake support processing) FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the intake support process.

[0303] The intake support process is executed, for example, when an intake confirmation timing included in the intake schedule arrives. If the subject has ingested the composition by the intake confirmation timing, the intake support process for that intake confirmation timing does not need to be executed. In other words, the intake support process may be executed, for example, when the intake confirmation timing arrives without the intake time corresponding to the intake confirmation timing being acquired.

[0304] 15 includes two intake confirmation timings T1 and T2. Therefore, for example, if the intake time is not acquired by the intake confirmation timing T2, the intake support process is repeatedly executed at the intake confirmation timings T1 and T2.

[0305] The following describes in detail an example where the intake confirmation timing T1 has arrived. The intake support process when the intake confirmation timing T2 has arrived may be a process in which the "intake confirmation timing T1" and "intake confirmation message 1" in the following description are replaced with "intake confirmation timing T2" and "intake confirmation message 2," respectively.

[0306] When the intake confirmation timing T1 arrives, the message output unit 300 outputs an intake confirmation message 1 for confirming whether or not the composition has been ingested based on the intake schedule (step S291). For example, the message output unit 300 transmits the intake confirmation message 1 to the terminal device 50b. In this way, the intake confirmation message 1 is output at the intake confirmation timing T1 if the intake time has not been obtained by the intake confirmation timing T1.

[0307] The terminal communication unit 56 acquires the intake confirmation message 1 output in step S291 (step S292). The user interface providing unit 55 displays the intake confirmation message 1 and an input screen for inputting a response to the intake confirmation message 1 on the display unit 54 (step S293).

[0308] The response to the intake confirmation message 1 may include, for example, whether or not the composition has already been ingested. In this case, the input screen displayed in step S293 may include, for example, an input item for selecting either "I have not yet ingested the composition" or "I have already ingested the composition." It may also include an intake time input field for inputting the intake time when "I have already ingested the composition" is selected. A typical example of when "I have already ingested the composition" is selected is when the subject ingests the composition without performing the intake process.

[0309] When a predetermined operation, such as pressing a response button, is performed, the terminal communication unit 56 outputs a response to the intake confirmation message 1 (step S294).

[0310] The device communication unit 56 transmits, for example, a response to the intake confirmation message 1 to the information processing device 200. This response includes the information entered on the input screen displayed in step S293. In the above example, the response to the intake confirmation message 1 may include whether or not the composition was taken, and if the composition was taken, the time of intake.

[0311] The response acquisition unit 310 acquires the response output in step S294 (step S295). The response acquisition unit 310 may store the acquired response in a storage unit (not shown). The response acquisition unit 310 determines whether the response acquired in step S295 includes the intake time (step S296).

[0312] If the response includes the intake time (step S296; Yes), the response acquisition unit 310 stores the intake history information of the composition ingested by the subject in the intake history storage unit 270 (step S297). In this way, the response acquisition unit 310 acquires the intake time of the composition if it was ingested, as a response to the intake confirmation message. The intake time may be the time when the response to the intake confirmation message was acquired, or the time input by the subject. Then, the response acquisition unit 310 stores the intake history information in the intake history storage unit 270 based on this response. The intake history information may include, for example, the name of the composition ingested by the subject (i.e., the composition for which the intake confirmation timing has arrived), the intake time, etc.

[0313] If the response does not include the intake time (step S296; No), that is, if the subject has not yet taken the composition, the response acquisition section 310 ends the intake support process.

[0314] By executing such an intake support process, it is possible to support the subject in taking the composition at an appropriate time. Even if the subject takes the composition without executing the intake process, it is possible to manage the composition intake history.

[0315] The intake confirmation message may further include at least one of whether or not a predetermined contraindication applies, confirmation of understanding of side effects, the concomitant composition, the physical condition at the time of intake, and the psychological state at the time of intake. In this case, the response to the intake confirmation message may further include at least one of whether or not a predetermined contraindication applies, confirmation of understanding of side effects, the concomitant composition, the physical condition at the time of intake, and the psychological state at the time of intake.

[0316] (Regarding health management support processing) The physical condition management support process includes, for example, an initial support process, a periodic support process, and an effect confirmation support process.

[0317] The initial support process is a process that is executed when the initial check timing included in the health management schedule arrives. The periodic support process is a process that is executed when the periodic check timing arrives. The effect check support process is a process that is executed when the effect check timing arrives. Each of these processes will be explained below.

[0318] (Initial support process) FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of the flow of the initial support process.

[0319] As described above, the initial support process is executed when the initial check timing included in the health management schedule arrives. The health management schedule shown in Fig. 14 includes two initial check timings S1 and S2. Therefore, the initial support process is repeatedly executed at the initial check timings S1 and S2.

[0320] The following describes in detail the case where the initial confirmation timing S1 has arrived as an example. The initial support process when the initial confirmation timing S2 has arrived may be a process in which, for example, "initial confirmation timing S1" and "initial confirmation message 1" in the following description are replaced with "initial confirmation timing S2" and "initial confirmation message 2," respectively.

[0321] When the initial confirmation timing S1 arrives, the message output unit 300 outputs an initial confirmation message 1 based on the health management schedule (step S301). The message output unit 300 transmits the initial confirmation message 1 to the terminal device 50b, for example.

[0322] Terminal communication unit 56 acquires initial confirmation message 1 output in step S301 (step S302). User interface providing unit 55 displays initial confirmation message 1 and an input screen for inputting a response to initial confirmation message 1 on display unit 54 (step S303).

[0323] The response to the initial confirmation message 1 may include, for example, whether or not a predetermined illness such as vomiting has occurred. In this case, the input screen displayed in step S303 may include, for example, an input item for selecting either "has occurred" or "does not occur" for the predetermined illness.

[0324] If the initial confirmation message includes a predetermined prohibited act or taboo, the response to the message may include whether or not the prohibited act or taboo has been performed. In this case, the input screen displayed in step S303 may include, for example, an input item for selecting either "performed" or "did not perform" the predetermined prohibited act or taboo.

[0325] When a predetermined operation such as pressing a response button is performed, the terminal communication unit 56 outputs a response to the initial confirmation message 1 (step S304).

[0326] The terminal communication unit 56 transmits, for example, a response to the initial confirmation message 1 to the information processing device 200. This response includes the information selected on the input screen displayed in step S303. In the above example, the response includes either "yes" or "no." Note that the response to a predetermined prohibited act or taboo item may include either "yes" or "no."

[0327] The response acquisition unit 310 acquires the response transmitted in step S304 (step S305). The response acquisition unit 310 may store the acquired response in a storage unit (not shown). The consultation processing unit 320 determines whether the consultation recommendation conditions are met based on the response acquired in step S305 (step S306).

[0328] For example, if a predetermined malfunction is "present," the medical examination processing unit 320 may determine that the medical examination recommendation condition is met. For example, if a predetermined malfunction is "not present," the medical examination processing unit 320 may determine that the medical examination recommendation condition is not met.

[0329] If it is determined that the consultation recommendation conditions are met (step S306; Yes), the consultation processing unit 320 executes the consultation support process (step S285).

[0330] The consultation support process includes, for example, as described above, at least one of sending medical institution candidate information to the terminal device 50b and consultation process for receiving a consultation at a selected or designated medical institution.

[0331] If it is determined that the medical examination recommendation conditions are not met (step S306; No), the medical examination processing unit 320 ends the initial support process.

[0332] In addition, the cases where a specified prohibited act or taboo item has been "performed" and "not performed" may be treated in the same way as the cases where a specified illness has "occurred" and "not occurred," respectively.

[0333] By executing such initial support processing, it is possible to manage the subject's physical condition that may occur at a predetermined time, and to warn the subject not to perform predetermined prohibited acts or taboos. Furthermore, if the subject's physical condition becomes unwell or if the subject performs predetermined prohibited acts or taboos, it is possible to support the subject in visiting a medical institution.

[0334] Furthermore, when a patient visits a medical institution, various information such as subject information, physical condition information, etc. may be referenced using, for example, the terminal device 50b, etc. This allows the patient to receive a medical examination with accurate information provided to a doctor, etc., thereby supporting the patient's visit to the medical institution.

[0335] (Regarding periodic support processing) FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of the flow of the periodic support process.

[0336] As described above, the periodic support process is executed when the periodic confirmation timing arrives.

[0337] For example, if the health information corresponding to the periodic check timing has already been acquired by executing the above-described health management process, the periodic support process corresponding to that periodic check timing does not need to be executed.

[0338] The health management schedule shown in Fig. 14 includes 21 periodic check timings C1 to C21. Therefore, if the health management process corresponding to each of the periodic check timings C1 to C21 has not been executed, the periodic support process will be repeatedly executed at the periodic check timings C1 to C21.

[0339] The periodic support process may be executed when the intake confirmation timing arrives, for example, until the effect according to the intake purpose is confirmed. In other words, once the effect according to the intake purpose is confirmed, the periodic support process corresponding to the subsequent periodic confirmation timing may not be executed.

[0340] In the following, a detailed explanation will be given of an example in which the periodic check timing C1 arrives without the corresponding health management process being performed. The periodic support process when the periodic check timings C2 to C21 arrive may be, for example, a process in which "periodic check timing C1" in the following explanation is replaced with each of the periodic check timings C2 to C21.

[0341] When the periodic check timing C1 arrives, the message output unit 300 outputs a periodic check message based on the health management schedule (step S311). The message output unit 300 transmits the periodic check message to, for example, the terminal device 50b.

[0342] The terminal communication unit 56 acquires the periodic confirmation message output in step S311 (step S312). The user interface providing unit 55 displays the periodic confirmation message and an input screen for inputting a response to the periodic confirmation message on the display unit 54 (step S313).

[0343] The response to the periodic confirmation message may include, for example, physical condition information. This physical condition information may be the same as the physical condition information acquired by the physical condition information acquisition unit 290 in the physical condition management process. In this case, the input screen displayed in step S313 may be, for example, a screen for the subject to input items included in the physical condition information, such as "physical condition," "mental condition," and "body temperature," as described above.

[0344] The method of acquiring physical condition information is not limited to the example given here. For example, the user interface providing unit 55 may acquire physical condition information such as body temperature from a wristwatch-type wearable device used by the subject. Furthermore, the subject who has confirmed the periodic confirmation message may have the information processing device 200 execute the physical condition management process without following the process below. This also allows the information processing device 200 to acquire physical condition information.

[0345] When a predetermined operation, such as pressing a response button, is performed, the terminal communication unit 56 transmits a response to the periodic confirmation message (step S314).

[0346] This response includes the physical condition information entered on the input screen displayed in step S273.

[0347] The response acquisition unit 310 acquires the response transmitted in step S314 (step S315). The response acquisition unit 310 may store the acquired response in a storage unit (not shown). The consultation processing unit 320 determines whether the consultation recommendation conditions are met based on the response acquired in step S315 (step S316).

[0348] For example, the medical examination processing unit 320 may determine that the medical examination recommendation conditions are met when at least one of the following conditions 1 to 3 continues for a predetermined period (e.g., three days or more) regarding the physical condition information at the periodic check times C1 to C21. Condition 1: "Physical condition" is "2. Unstable" Condition 2: "Mental state" is "2. Unstable" Condition 3: "Body temperature" is "2. Slight fever"

[0349] For example, the medical examination processing unit 320 may determine that the medical examination recommendation condition is met when the following condition 4 is met for the physical condition information at the periodic check timings C1 to C21. Condition 4: "Body temperature" is "3. High fever"

[0350] For example, the consultation processing unit 320 may determine that the consultation recommendation conditions are not met in cases other than the above examples.

[0351] If it is determined that the medical examination recommendation conditions are met (step S316; Yes), the medical examination processing unit 320 executes medical examination support processing (step S285) and ends the periodic support processing.

[0352] If it is determined that the consultation recommendation conditions are not met (step S316; No), the consultation processing unit 320 ends the periodic assistance process.

[0353] By executing such periodic support processing, the physical condition of the subject can be periodically managed, and if the subject's physical condition becomes unwell, support can be provided for the subject to visit a medical institution.

[0354] As described above, the physical condition information may include, for example, information (items) indicating whether or not an effect corresponding to the purpose of intake has been confirmed. In this case, for example, when an effect corresponding to the purpose of intake is confirmed based on the physical condition information, the response acquisition unit 310 may change the post-ingestion physical condition management schedule so as not to execute any further processing based on the post-ingestion physical condition management schedule.

[0355] (Regarding effect confirmation support processing) FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating an example of the flow of the effect confirmation support process.

[0356] As described above, the effect confirmation support process is executed when the effect confirmation timing included in the health management schedule arrives. In the health management schedule illustrated in Fig. 14, the effect confirmation support process is executed at the effect confirmation timing R1. Note that if the effect corresponding to the intake purpose is confirmed by the effect confirmation timing R1 based on, for example, health information, the effect confirmation support process does not need to be executed.

[0357] When the effect confirmation timing R1 arrives, the message output unit 300 transmits an effect confirmation message based on the physical condition management schedule (step S321). The message output unit 300 transmits the effect confirmation message to, for example, the terminal device 50b.

[0358] The terminal communication unit 56 acquires the effect confirmation message output in step S321 (step S322). The user interface providing unit 55 displays the effect confirmation message and an input screen for inputting a response to the effect confirmation message on the display unit 54 (step S323).

[0359] The response to the effect confirmation message may include, for example, effect confirmation information related to the effect confirmation items as described above. The response to the effect confirmation message may also include, for example, physical condition information.

[0360] When a predetermined operation such as pressing a response button is performed, the terminal communication unit 56 transmits a response to the effect confirmation message (step S324).

[0361] This response includes at least one of the effect confirmation items and physical condition information entered on the input screen displayed in step S323.

[0362] The response acquisition unit 310 acquires the response transmitted in step S324 (step S325). The response acquisition unit 310 may store the acquired response in a storage unit (not shown). The consultation processing unit 320 determines whether the consultation recommendation conditions are met based on the response acquired in step S325 (step S326).

[0363] For example, the medical examination processing unit 320 may determine that the medical examination recommendation condition is met when the effect corresponding to the purpose of taking the composition is not obtained at the effect confirmation timing R1. For example, the medical examination processing unit 320 may determine that the medical examination recommendation condition is met when at least one of the above-mentioned conditions 1 to 3 continues for a predetermined period (e.g., three days or more) with respect to the physical condition information at the effect confirmation timing R1 and the periodic confirmation timings C1 to C21. The medical examination processing unit 320 may determine that the medical examination recommendation condition is met when the physical condition information at the effect confirmation timing R1 satisfies condition 4.

[0364] For example, the consultation processing unit 320 may determine that the consultation recommendation conditions are not met in cases other than the above examples.

[0365] If it is determined that the consultation recommendation conditions are met (step S326; Yes), the consultation processing unit 320 executes the consultation support process (step S285) and ends the effect confirmation support process.

[0366] If it is determined that the consultation recommendation conditions are not met (step S326; No), the consultation processing unit 320 ends the effect confirmation support process.

[0367] By executing such an effect confirmation support process, the subject can confirm the effect of the composition at an appropriate time. If there is a possibility that the effect was not obtained, support can be provided for the subject to visit a medical institution. Furthermore, if the subject is experiencing physical problems, support can be provided for the subject to visit a medical institution.

[0368] (Question-answering processing) FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating an example of the flow of the question answering process.

[0369] As described above, the question answering process is a process for answering questions from the subject at any time. For example, when the subject feels unwell, feels anxious, or wants to consult about something, the subject performs a predetermined operation on the terminal device 50b to select a question category. FIG. 24 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for selecting a category. Categories include, for example, physical symptoms, mental symptoms, etc., but are not limited to these.

[0370] Then, the subject inputs a question and performs a predetermined operation (for example, pressing the send button) to transmit the question to the information processing device 200. Fig. 25 is a diagram showing an example of a screen after the question is transmitted. The question answering process starts when the information processing device 200 receives the selected genre and question from the terminal device 50b.

[0371] 24 and 25 show an example in which the user interface used for the question answering process in the terminal device 50b is an interactive interface. Note that a user interface other than an interactive interface may also be used for the question answering process.

[0372] Please refer to Figure 23. The question processing unit 330 acquires a response to the question using a dialogue response model corresponding to the selected genre (step S331).

[0373] The question processor 330 outputs the response acquired in step S331 (step S332). For example, the question processor 330 transmits the response to the terminal device 50b.

[0374] The terminal communication unit 56 acquires the response output in step S332 (step S333). The user interface providing unit 55 displays the acquired response on the display unit 54 (step S334). Fig. 26 is a diagram showing an example of a screen on which the response is displayed.

[0375] The user interface providing unit 55 determines whether an instruction to end the question and answer process has been received (step S335). For example, when the subject performs a predetermined operation on the terminal device 50b (for example, pressing the end button), the user interface providing unit 55 receives the end instruction.

[0376] If the end instruction has not been received (step S335; No), the user interface providing unit 55 determines whether the next question has been received (step S336). For example, when the subject performs a predetermined operation on the terminal device 50b (for example, pressing the send button after inputting a question), the user interface providing unit 55 receives the next question.

[0377] If the next question has not been accepted (step S336; No), the user interface providing unit 55 executes step S335 again.

[0378] If an end instruction has been received (step S335; Yes), the user interface providing unit 55 ends the question answering process.

[0379] If the next question is received (step S336; Yes), the terminal communication unit 56 outputs the received question (step S337). For example, the terminal communication unit 56 transmits a response to the information processing device 200. As a result, the processes from step S331 onwards are executed again.

[0380] By executing such a question and answer process, the subject can consult with a doctor at any time if he / she has any physical or mental concerns.

[0381] (Actions and Effects) According to this embodiment, the information processing device 200 includes a message output unit 300 that outputs a predetermined message based on a health management schedule. The ingestion information includes the ingestion start time for starting ingestion of the composition.

[0382] The health management schedule includes sending a message at at least one of an initial confirmation timing corresponding to the time when a predetermined initial confirmation period has elapsed since the start of intake, a periodic confirmation timing occurring at a predetermined confirmation cycle, and an effect confirmation timing corresponding to the time when a predetermined effect confirmation period has elapsed since the start of intake.

[0383] The predetermined messages include at least one of an initial confirmation message for checking any poor health that may occur to the subject at the initial confirmation timing, a health management message for prompting the subject to enter their health condition at periodic confirmation timings, and an effect confirmation message for checking the effect of the composition at the effect confirmation timings.

[0384] In this way, sending an intake confirmation message can help ensure that the subject takes the composition by the time it is due. Sending an initial confirmation message can help manage at least one of the subject's physical condition and ensuring that the subject is not engaging in prohibited activities or contraindications. Sending periodic confirmation messages can help manage the ongoing physical condition of the subject who has taken the composition. Sending an effect confirmation message can help manage the effect of the composition.

[0385] Therefore, it becomes possible to assist in managing the intake of the composition.

[0386] According to this embodiment, the information processing device 200 includes a health information acquisition unit 290 that acquires health information including the health condition input by the subject. The health management message is output when health information corresponding to the periodic check timing has not been acquired.

[0387] This makes it possible to increase the likelihood that the subject will record periodic physical condition information without fail, by prompting the subject to enter the physical condition information corresponding to the periodic check timing if the subject has not entered the physical condition information corresponding to the periodic check timing by the time the periodic check timing is reached.Therefore, it becomes possible to support the management of the intake of the composition.

[0388] According to this embodiment, the information processing device 200 includes a response acquisition unit 310 that acquires a response from a subject to a predetermined message.
