[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below are subject to various limitations that are technically preferable for implementing the present invention. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and illustrated examples.

[0010] First, the configuration of an information processing device 1 in this embodiment will be described. As shown in Fig. 1, the information processing device 1 has a wristwatch-type (wristwatch-type) appearance and is roughly divided into a device main body 101 equipped with a display unit 14 for presenting predetermined information to a user, and a belt unit 102 for attaching the device main body 101 to the user's wrist by wrapping it around the wrist. The information processing device 1 is equipped with a learning application 121, allowing the user to use the information processing device 1 to learn.

[0011] As shown in FIG. 2, the information processing device 1 is configured to include a control unit 11, a memory unit 12, an input unit 13, a display unit 14, a sensor unit 15, a timing unit 16, a communication unit 17, an audio output unit 18, and a vibrator 19, and each unit is connected via a bus 20.

[0012] The control unit 11 is a computer that includes at least one CPU (Central Processing Unit), RAM (Random Access Memory), etc., and controls each unit of the information processing device 1. Specifically, the CPU of the control unit 11 reads out a designated program from among the system programs and various applications stored in the storage unit 12, expands it in the RAM, and executes various processes in cooperation with the expanded program.

[0013] The storage unit 12 is configured by a non-volatile semiconductor memory, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), etc. The storage unit 12 stores the system program of the information processing device 1, various application programs, and data required for executing the programs. The storage unit 12 is not limited to being built into the information processing device 1, and may include an external recording medium that is detachable from the information processing device 1.

[0014] In this embodiment, storage unit 12 stores learning application 121. The learning subject (subject, field, etc.) provided by learning application 121 is not particularly limited, but in this embodiment, a case where English words are used will be described as an example.

[0015] Furthermore, memory unit 12 stores information on a plurality of English words used in learning application 121 (such as word identification codes, English words, phonetic symbols, meanings (Japanese), and audio data) in association with each other. The information on English words may include information explaining the meaning of the English words in English. Memory unit 12 also stores the user's (i.e., the learner's) proficiency level and learning date and time (date and time of learning) for each English word used in learning application 121. Here, proficiency level is a numerical value indicating the user's degree of proficiency in learning. In this embodiment, proficiency level is divided into four levels, from 1 to 4, with 1 being the lowest level and 4 being the highest level. For words that have not yet been tested, the proficiency level is stored as 1, and the learning date and time is left blank. The number of proficiency levels is not particularly limited.

[0016] The memory unit 12 also stores a notification count level table 122. As shown in FIG. 3, the notification count level table 122 is a table that stores notification count levels for notifications encouraging learning for each time period as a predetermined behavior. In this embodiment, the notification count levels are set to four levels from 0 to 3, but the number of notification count levels is not particularly limited. Notification count level 0 indicates that no notification is made. Notification count level 1 indicates that a notification is made once per hour. Notification count level 2 indicates that a notification is made twice per hour. Notification count level 3 indicates that a notification is made three times per hour. In this embodiment, the initial value of the notification count level is 3, and the notification count level is updated based on the user's behavior and learning status in each time period.

[0017] The storage unit 12 also stores a behavioral situation table 123. As shown in Fig. 4, the behavioral situation table 123 stores information indicating a combination of analysis results of biometric information, motion information, and GPS information when the user's behavioral situation is suitable for learning, and information indicating a combination of analysis results of biometric information, motion information, and GPS information when the user's behavioral situation is not suitable for learning.

[0018] For example, in the behavioral status table 123 shown in FIG. 4, if the analysis result of the biometric information is "sleeping," this indicates that the user's behavioral status is not suitable for learning, regardless of the analysis results of the motion information and GPS information. If the analysis result of the biometric information is "awake," the analysis result of the motion information is "stationary," and the analysis result of the GPS information is "not moving" or "moving by train or bus," this indicates that the user is in a state where he or she can check the display content displayed on the display unit 14 of the information processing device 1 and perform operations, and therefore this indicates that the behavioral status is suitable for learning. On the other hand, even if the analysis result of the biometric information is "awake," if the analysis result of the motion information is "swinging arms" or the analysis result of the GPS information is "moving on foot," this indicates that the user is not in a state where he or she can check the display content displayed on the display unit 14 of the information processing device 1 and perform operations in a safe state, and therefore this indicates that the behavioral status is not suitable for learning.

[0019] The input unit 13 is composed of push button switches, a touch panel superimposed on the display unit 14, etc. The input unit 13 outputs to the control unit 11 an operation signal corresponding to the operation of the push button switch by the user or an operation signal corresponding to the operation of the touch panel.

[0020] The display unit 14 is substantially circular and is configured with a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display, and displays information based on the control operation of the control unit 11.

[0021] The sensor unit 15 is configured to include a motion sensor (a three-axis acceleration sensor, a three-axis gyro sensor, etc.), a GPS (Global Positioning System) sensor, and a biological information sensor (a pulse sensor, etc.). The sensor unit 15 outputs to the control unit 11 motion information output from the motion sensor, GPS information output from the GPS sensor, and biological information output from the biological information sensor.

[0022] The clock unit 16 includes an oscillation circuit, a frequency dividing circuit, a clock circuit, etc., and clocks the current date and time and outputs the clocked result to the control unit 11.

[0023] The communication unit 17 controls communication for communicating with an external device.

[0024] The audio output unit 18 outputs audio and notification sounds in accordance with the control operation of the control unit 11. The vibrator 19 generates vibrations in accordance with the control operation of the control unit 11.

[0025] Next, the operation of the information processing device 1 in this embodiment will be described. The information processing device 1 sends a notification to the user urging the user to study in order to support the user in studying. However, if the notification urging the user to study is sent when the user's behavioral situation is not suitable for studying (for example, while sleeping or walking), the user will not be able to study. Furthermore, even if the user's behavioral situation is suitable for studying (for example, while awake and stationary), the user will not be able to study using the study application 121 of the information processing device 1 during a time period such as during class, for example. Therefore, the information processing device 1 executes the notification count control process shown in FIG. 5 to update the setting of the number of notifications for each time period based on the user's behavioral situation for each time period and the user's study implementation status in response to the notification urging the user to study, thereby supporting the user to study reliably.

[0026] The notification count control process will be described below with reference to Fig. 5. The notification count control process is executed by the control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 in cooperation with the learning application 121 when the learning application 121 is running.

[0027] First, the control unit 11 stores the time period to which the current time belongs in the notification time period T, which is a variable for storing the time period for which a notification prompting learning is sent (referred to as a notification time period) (step S1). In this embodiment, each time period is defined as the period from the start to the end of each hour between 0:00 and 23:00.

[0028] Next, the control unit 11 refers to the notification count level table 122 stored in the memory unit 12 (step S2), determines the notification count level for the notification time period T, and stores the determined notification count level in the notification count level LV, which is a variable that stores the notification count level for the notification time period T (step S3).

[0029] Next, the control unit 11 determines the notification timing for the notification time period T based on the value of the notification count level LV (step S4). For example, if the notification count level LV is 0, the control unit 11 determines there is no notification timing. If the notification count level LV is 1, the control unit 11 determines 0 minutes from the start of the notification time period T as the notification timing. If the notification count level LV is 2, the control unit 11 determines 0 minutes and 30 minutes from the start of the notification time period T as the notification timings. If the notification count level LV is 3, the control unit 11 determines 0 minutes, 20 minutes, and 40 minutes from the start of the notification time period T as the notification timings.

[0030] Next, control unit 11 determines whether or not a learning process is currently being executed by learning application 121 (step S5). By determining whether or not a learning process is currently being executed by learning application 121, control unit 11 determines whether or not the user is currently studying. If it is determined that a learning process is currently being executed by learning application 121 (step S5; YES), control unit 11 returns to step S5.

[0031] If it is determined that the learning process by the learning application 121 is not currently being executed (step S5; NO), the control unit 11 determines whether the determined notification timing has arrived based on the current time (step S6). If it is determined that the determined notification timing has not arrived (step S6; NO), the control unit 11 returns to step S5.

[0032] If it is determined that the determined notification timing has arrived (step S6; YES), the control unit 11 acquires the user's behavioral status (step S7) and determines whether the user's behavioral status is suitable for learning (step S8).

[0033] For example, the control unit 11 analyzes biometric information acquired by the biometric information sensor of the sensor unit 15 to acquire the user's behavioral status (e.g., sleeping, awake, etc.). The control unit 11 also analyzes motion information acquired by the motion sensor of the sensor unit 15 to acquire the user's behavioral status (e.g., stationary, swinging arms, etc.). Here, stationary refers to a state in which motion is detected by the motion sensor but the amount of motion is below a predetermined threshold, and does not include a state in which there is no motion at all (a state in which the user is not wearing the information processing device 1). The control unit 11 also analyzes GPS information acquired by the GPS sensor of the sensor unit 15 to acquire the user's behavioral status (e.g., not moving, walking, traveling by train or bus, etc.). Note that any known technology may be used to analyze the user's behavioral status from the biometric information, motion information, and GPS information, and is not particularly limited. The control unit 11 then refers to the behavioral status table 123 and determines whether the user's behavioral status is suitable for learning based on a combination of the analysis results of the biometric information, motion information, and GPS information.

[0034] When it is determined that the user's behavioral situation is not suitable for learning (step S8; NO), the control unit 11 decrements the notification count level LV (step S14) and proceeds to step S15. Note that if the notification count level LV=0, the notification count level is not decremented.

[0035] If the control unit 11 determines that the user's behavioral situation is suitable for studying (step S8; YES), the control unit 11 increments the notification count level LV (step S9) and generates a study set to be presented to the user (step S10). Note that if the notification count level LV=3, the notification count level LV is not incremented. The study set is composed of, for example, English words (questions) and the meanings of those English words (answers). In step S10, the control unit 11 changes the study set (learning content) according to, for example, the notification count level LV. For example, when the notification count level LV is 3, the control unit 11 generates a study set of 10 questions. When the notification count level LV is 2, the control unit 11 generates a study set of 5 questions. When the notification count level LV is 1, the control unit 11 generates a study set of 3 questions. In other words, the control unit 11 generates a study set such that the higher the notification count level LV, the more questions the study set contains. This is because the higher the notification count level LV, the more suitable the time period for the user to study is considered to be.

[0036] For example, first, the control unit 11 acquires from the storage unit 12 a plurality of English words registered in the learning application 121 (a plurality of English words that can be quizzed by the learning application 121) and their meanings, the user's proficiency level corresponding to each of the plurality of English words, and the learning date and time, which is the date and time when the user last studied each of the plurality of English words. Here, the user's proficiency level corresponding to each of the plurality of English words is referred to as the proficiency level for each English word. Next, the control unit 11 acquires, from among the plurality of English words, a number of English words and their meanings corresponding to the notification frequency level LV, based on the acquired information on the proficiency level for each English word and the learning date and time. For example, the control unit 11 generates a learning set consisting of English words and their meanings corresponding to the notification frequency level LV, based on the information on the proficiency level for each English word and the learning date and time, for example, based on Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve. As a result, English words with low proficiency levels and which have been studied a long time ago are preferentially selected and quizzed.

[0037] Next, the control unit 11 issues a notification to encourage learning (step S11). For example, the control unit 11 issues a notification to encourage learning by displaying notification information to encourage learning, such as "It's time to study," on the display unit 14, outputting a predetermined notification sound from the audio output unit 18, or generating vibrations from the vibrator 19.

[0038] Here, when the user performs a predetermined operation to start learning via the input unit 13, the control unit 11 starts executing the learning process in cooperation with the learning application 121. In executing the learning process, the control unit 11 first displays the English words of one learning set on the display unit 14. After a predetermined time (thinking time for the user) has elapsed, when the user performs a predetermined operation, the control unit 11 displays the Japanese meaning of the answer on the display unit 14. When the user performs a predetermined operation (such as swiping), the control unit 11 displays an input screen on the display unit 14 for the user to input the learning result. For example, the input screen is a screen for selecting, for example, "I remembered / I'm not sure," "Correct / Incorrect," "OK / NG," etc. When the learning result is input, the control unit 11 derives a new proficiency level based on the input learning result and the proficiency level of the English word used in the question stored in the memory unit 12, and stores the deriving new proficiency level in the memory unit 12. For example, if the learning result is "Remembered," "Correct," or "OK," the proficiency level is increased by one. If the learning result is "Still Doubtful," "Incorrect," or "NG," the proficiency level is decreased by one. If the upper or lower limit is reached, the proficiency level is not updated. The above process is repeated for all learning sets.

[0039] When a predetermined time has elapsed since the notification, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the user has started studying within five seconds of the notification and completed the study set within three minutes of the start of the study (step S12). In this embodiment, the control unit 11 determines that the user has studied in response to the notification prompting the user to study if the user has started studying within five seconds of the notification and completed the study set within three minutes of the start of the study. However, the conditions for determining whether or not the user has studied in response to the notification prompting the user to study are not limited to the above. For example, the time from the notification until the user starts studying and the time until the user completes studying may be different from those described above.

[0040] If it is determined that learning has started within 5 seconds after the notification and that the learning set has been completed within 3 minutes from the start (step S12; YES), the control unit 11 increments the notification count level LV (step S13) and proceeds to step S15. If it is determined that learning has not started within 5 seconds after the notification or that the learning set has not been completed within 3 minutes from the start (step S12; NO), the control unit 11 decrements the notification count level LV (step S14) and proceeds to step S15. The control unit 11 stores in RAM whether the requirements of step S11 have been met at each notification timing in the notification time period T.

[0041] In step S15, the control unit 11 determines whether the final notification timing of the notification time period T has passed (step S15). If it is determined that the final notification timing of the notification time period T has not passed (step S15; NO), the control unit 11 returns to step S5 and repeats the processes of steps S5 to S15.

[0042] On the other hand, if it is determined that the final notification timing for the notification time period T has passed (step S15; YES), the control unit 11 updates the setting of the notification count level for the notification time period T in the notification count level table 122 based on the current notification count level LV (step S16). That is, the control unit 11 updates the setting of the notification count level for the day after the notification time period T.

[0043] Next, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 14 to display study advice (step S17). For example, when a notification is made during the current notification time period T, and after each notification, if the user starts studying within five seconds of the notification and completes the study set within three minutes from the start, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 14 to display advice encouraging the user to continue studying at this pace, as shown in Fig. 6. Furthermore, when a notification is made during the notification time period T, and the user does not start studying or stops studying midway, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 14 to display advice encouraging the user to continue studying.

[0044] Next, the control unit 11 stores the next time slot in the notification time slot T (step S18), returns to the process of step S2, and repeats the processes of steps S2 to S17.

[0045] The control unit 11 executes the notification count control process while the learning application 121 is running.

[0046] In this way, the control unit 11 updates the notification frequency level setting for each of the multiple time periods based on the user's behavior when the notification timing for the study prompt arrives for each of the multiple time periods and the user's study implementation status in response to the study prompt. Therefore, it is possible to send notifications prompting the user to study intensively during the time periods when the user is studying, thereby supporting the user to study reliably. As a result, it is possible to improve the user's study retention rate.

[0047] The control unit 11 may count the study time spent on the study process for one day, and determine whether the study time spent by the user exceeds a reference time for one day at a predetermined timing (for example, at a predetermined time) at the end of one day or the beginning of the next day. The reference time is a standard for the amount of study time that the user should spend in one day, and is stored (set) in advance in the storage unit 12. If the study time does not exceed the reference time, as shown in FIG. 7, the control unit 11 may notify the user that the study time is insufficient and display advice on the display unit 14 encouraging the user to start studying as soon as the user notices the notification. Even if the reference time for one day is exceeded, the control unit 11 may display advice on the display unit 14 encouraging the user to continue studying at the same pace.

[0048] As described above, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 sends a preset number of notifications encouraging study during each of a plurality of time periods, and updates the setting of the number of notifications encouraging study for the following days and beyond during each time period based on the user's study implementation status in response to the notifications encouraging study during each time period. Therefore, the setting is updated so that notifications encouraging study are sent with a focus on the time periods during which the user is studying, allowing appropriate notifications encouraging study and supporting the user to study reliably. As a result, the user's study retention rate can be improved.

[0049] For example, if the user studies in response to a notification prompting them to study, the control unit 11 sets the number of notifications prompting them to study to be more than if the user did not study in response to the notification. Therefore, the control unit 11 can reduce the number of notifications prompting them to study during the time period when the user did not study in response to the notification, and can focus on the time period when the user did study in response to the notification, thereby improving the user's retention rate in studying.

[0050] Furthermore, when the notification timing arrives for each of the multiple time periods, the control unit 11 acquires the user's behavioral status and updates the setting of the number of notifications to encourage study from the day after each time period based on the acquired behavioral status and the user's study implementation status in response to the notification. Therefore, since the setting of the number of notifications to encourage study from the day after each time period can be updated taking into account the user's behavioral status for each time period, the number of notifications can be reduced during time periods when the user is engaged in activities that are not suitable for study, such as while sleeping or walking, and the number of notifications can be increased primarily during time periods when the user is engaged in activities that are suitable for study, such as while traveling by train or bus or while stopped, thereby improving the user's study retention rate.

[0051] Furthermore, when the notification timing arrives in each of the multiple time periods, the control unit 11 acquires the user's behavioral status and controls whether or not to issue a notification based on the acquired behavioral status. Therefore, it is possible to prevent notifications from being issued during times when the user cannot study, such as when the user is sleeping or walking, thereby reducing power consumption.

[0052] Furthermore, the control unit 11 changes the study content provided to the user depending on the number of notifications encouraging study for each of the multiple time periods. Therefore, for example, by increasing the number of questions or the difficulty level during a time period with a high number of notifications, which is a time period during which the user responds to notifications and starts studying, it is possible to support efficient study.

[0053] The above-described embodiment is a preferred example of an embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0054] For example, in the above embodiment, the notification count level setting for each of the multiple time periods was updated based on the user's behavioral status when the notification timing for the study prompt arrived for each of the multiple time periods and the user's study implementation status in response to the study prompt. This allows the notification count level to be set taking into account the user's behavioral status for each of the multiple time periods. However, it is also possible to update the notification count level setting for each of the multiple time periods based on the user's study implementation status in response to the study prompt, without taking into account the user's behavioral status for each of the multiple time periods. This makes it possible, with a simple configuration, to provide notifications encouraging study that are focused on the time periods during which the user is studying.

[0055] Furthermore, the notification count level table 122 and the behavior situation table 123 presented in the above embodiment are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to these.

[0056] Furthermore, for example, in the above embodiment, the learning object is described as English words, but the learning object is not limited to this. For example, the learning object may be any field of any subject, such as memorizing era names and historical events that occurred in those era names, or memorizing kanji characters and their pronunciations. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the predetermined behavior is described as a user studying, but the target predetermined behavior is not limited to studying and includes various other behaviors. For example, the present invention can be applied to notifications encouraging participation in an event with a scheduled date and time, or notifications encouraging viewing of a video with a scheduled date and time for distribution via the Internet.

[0057] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, information on the learning subject (in the above example, information on English words) is stored in advance in the storage unit 12, but it is also possible to allow the user to set or select the learning subject.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the information processing device 1 has been described as a wristwatch-type terminal device. This allows the user to easily study anywhere, but the information processing device 1 is not limited to a wristwatch-type device, and may be, for example, a PC (Personal Computer), a smartphone, or a tablet.

[0059] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the functions of the present invention are realized by the information processing device 1 alone, but the data used by the learning application 121 (information on the learning subject (in the above example, word identification code, English word, phonetic symbol, meaning (Japanese), audio data, etc.), as well as the proficiency level and learning date and time for each learning subject for each user) may be stored in a server connected to the information processing device 1, and the information processing device 1 may acquire this information from the server to realize the functions of the present invention.

[0060] Furthermore, for example, in the above description, examples have been disclosed in which semiconductor memory, HDD, etc. are used as computer-readable media for the program according to the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. Portable recording media such as CD-ROMs can also be used as other computer-readable media. Furthermore, carrier waves can also be used as a medium for providing data for the program according to the present invention via a communication line.

[0061] The above describes embodiments and modifications of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and modifications, but includes the scope of the invention described in the claims and its equivalents.
