[Figure 9] This figure shows a schematic example of the hardware configuration of the information processing device 90 applied to this embodiment. [Figure 10] This figure shows a modified version of the information provision system 100. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] Figure 1 is a schematic block diagram showing the system configuration of the information provision system 100 of the present invention. The information provision system 100 includes a plurality of terminal devices 10 and an information provision device 20. Each terminal device 10 and the information provision device 20 are connected to each other via a network 70. The network 70 may be a wireless communication network or a wired communication network. The network 70 may be configured using, for example, the Internet or a local area network (LAN). The network 70 may be configured by combining multiple networks.

[0012] Figure 2 is a schematic block diagram showing a specific example of the functional configuration of the terminal device 10. The terminal device 10 is composed of information devices such as a smartphone, tablet, personal computer, or dedicated device. The terminal device 10 includes a communication unit 11, an input unit 12, an output unit 13, a location information acquisition unit 14, a mental information acquisition unit 15, a storage unit 16, and a control unit 17.

[0013] The communication unit 11 is a communication device. The communication unit 11 may be configured, for example, as a network interface. The communication unit 11 communicates data with other devices via the network 70 in accordance with the control of the control unit 17. The communication unit 11 may be a wireless communication device or a wired communication device.

[0014] The input unit 12 is configured using existing input devices such as a keyboard, a pointing device (mouse, tablet, etc.), buttons, a touch panel, etc. The input unit 12 is operated by the user when inputting the user's instructions to the terminal device 10. The input unit 12 may be an interface for connecting the input device to the terminal device 10. In this case, the input unit 12 inputs an input signal generated in response to the user's input in the input device to the terminal device 10. The input unit 12 may be configured using a microphone and a voice recognition device. In this case, the input unit 12 acquires an acoustic signal generated by the user's speech, recognizes the words spoken by the user, and inputs the string information of the recognition result to the terminal device 10. The voice recognition process may be executed by the control unit 17. The input unit 12 may be configured in any way as long as it can input the user's instructions to the terminal device 10.

[0015] The output unit 13 outputs information in a form recognizable by the user. The output unit 13 may be, for example, an image display device such as a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display, etc. The output unit 13 may be an interface for connecting the image display device to the terminal device 10. In this case, the output unit 13 generates a video signal for displaying the image data and outputs the video signal to the image display device connected to itself. The output unit 13 may be a device that outputs sound such as a speaker. The output unit 13 may be an interface for connecting an acoustic output device such as a speaker or headphones to the terminal device 10. In this case, the output unit 13 generates an acoustic signal for reproducing the acoustic data and outputs the acoustic signal to the acoustic output device connected to itself. Note that the output unit 13 may be configured as a touch panel integrated with the input unit 12.

[0016] The location information acquisition unit 14 acquires the location information of the current location of the terminal device 10. The location information may be configured using, for example, latitude and longitude. The location information acquisition unit 14 acquires the location information of the current location by, for example, satellite positioning systems or communication with base stations of a mobile phone network. Specific examples of satellite positioning systems include GPS (Global Positioning System) and Galileo. The location information acquisition unit 14 may be configured to acquire the location information of the current location based on an image captured by an imaging device provided in the device itself. A specific example of such a technology is VPS (Visual Positioning System). The location information acquisition unit 14 may be configured using any technology as long as it can acquire location information. The location information acquisition unit 14 outputs the acquired location information to the control unit 17.

[0017] The mental information acquisition unit 15 acquires the mental information of the user of the terminal device 10. The mental information may be any information as long as it is related to the user's mental state. The mental information may include, for example, vital information. Vital information is information related to the vital activities of the user's body. Vital information is information indicating time-series changes such as, for example, the action potential of the heart (electrocardiogram information), respiratory activity, and blood pressure. The mental information may include, for example, information indicating the heart rate. The mental information may include, for example, information indicating brain waves. In the following description, the information itself acquired by a sensor, such as the vital information, heart rate information, and brain wave information described above, is referred to as mental basic information.

[0018] The mental information may be information obtained by, for example, estimating the user's mental state based on the mental basic information. Hereinafter, such an estimation result is referred to as mental state information. Any algorithm may be applied to acquire the mental state information from the mental basic information. Specific examples of the mental state information include information indicating the intensity of stress occurring in the user, information indicating the intensity of concentration of the user, information indicating the degree of relaxation of the user, information indicating the degree of excitement of the user, and information indicating the degree of the user's absent-minded state.

[0019] Thus, specific examples of mental information include basic mental information and mental state information. The mental information acquisition unit 15 may acquire either basic mental information or mental state information as mental information. The mental information acquisition unit 15 may be configured as a sensor for acquiring basic mental information, or as an interface for acquiring basic mental information from a sensor for basic mental information. Furthermore, the mental information acquisition unit 15 may be configured to acquire mental state information by processing information based on the acquired basic mental information. The mental information acquisition unit 15 outputs the acquired mental information to the control unit 17.

[0020] The storage unit 16 is configured using a storage device such as a magnetic hard disk drive or a semiconductor storage device. The storage unit 16 stores data used by the control unit 17. The storage unit 16 stores data necessary when the control unit 17 performs processing. The storage unit 16 functions, for example, as a user information storage unit 161.

[0021] The user information storage unit 161 stores information about the user of the terminal device 10 (hereinafter referred to as "user information"). The user information storage unit 161 may store, for example, identification information that uniquely identifies the user (hereinafter referred to as "user ID") as user information. The user information storage unit 161 may also store, for example, user attribute information (e.g., gender, age, height, weight, etc.). User attribute information may be used, for example, when estimating mental state information from basic mental information.

[0022] The control unit 17 is composed of a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and memory (main memory). The control unit 17 functions as an information control unit 171 and an output control unit 172 when the processor executes a program. Note that all or part of the functions of the control unit 17 may be implemented using hardware such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). The above program may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. Computer-readable recording media include, for example, portable media such as flexible disks, magneto-optical disks, ROMs, CD-ROMs, and semiconductor memory devices (e.g., SSDs: Solid State Drives), as well as storage devices such as hard disks and semiconductor memory devices built into computer systems. The above program may be transmitted via a telecommunications line.

[0023] The control unit 17 may, for example, execute an application installed on its own device (terminal device 10). A specific example of such an application is an application provided to the terminal device 10 as a dedicated application for the information provision system 100. Another specific example of such an application is a web browser application. Such an application may be pre-installed on the terminal device 10, or it may be downloaded each time the information provision system 100 is used. For example, if it is implemented as a web browser application, the terminal device 10 may download and execute the application from a device specified by the web server (for example, the web server itself or another server) when the terminal device 10 connects to a specific web server. The control unit 17 operates according to the program of the application being executed.

[0024] The information control unit 171 controls the information that is input or output to the terminal device 10. The information control unit 171 may generate report information that includes, for example, location information input from the location information acquisition unit 14 and mental information input from the mental information acquisition unit 15. By including location information and mental information, the report information indicates the location and mental state of the user. The information control unit 171 transmits the report information to the information providing device 20.

[0025] The timing at which the information control unit 171 transmits the report information can be defined in any way. For example, the information control unit 171 may generate and transmit the report information at a predetermined interval (e.g., a 1-second interval, a 1-minute interval, a 5-minute interval, a 10-minute interval, etc.). For example, the information control unit 171 may generate and transmit the report information in response to the occurrence of a predetermined event. Specific examples of predetermined events include, for example, crossing the boundary between predetermined areas in real space, for example, entering a predetermined area in real space, for example, mental information meeting predetermined reporting conditions, or the user operating the input unit 12 to instruct the transmission of report information. Specific examples of reporting conditions for mental information include, for example, the value of basic mental information or mental state information exceeding a predetermined threshold, the amount of change in the value of basic mental information or mental state information exceeding a predetermined threshold, or the state in which the value of basic mental information or mental state information exceeds a predetermined first threshold continuing for longer than the time of the second threshold.

[0026] When the output control unit 172 receives information from the information providing device 20, it outputs the content of the received information from the output unit 13 in a manner that the user can recognize. The output manner may be, for example, displaying the information on a display device such as a screen composed of images and characters, outputting sound from a speaker, or any other manner.

[0027] Figure 3 is a flowchart illustrating a specific example of the processing performed by the terminal device 10. First, the information control unit 171 acquires location information (step S101). The information control unit 171 acquires mental information (step S102). The information control unit 171 generates report information using the acquired location information and mental information, and transmits the generated report information to the information providing device 20 (step S103).

[0028] Figure 4 is a schematic block diagram showing a specific example of the functional configuration of the information providing device 20. The information providing device 20 is configured using information processing equipment such as a personal computer or a server device. The information providing device 20 includes a communication unit 21, a storage unit 22, and a control unit 23.

[0029] The communication unit 21 is a communication device. The communication unit 21 may be configured, for example, as a network interface. The communication unit 21 communicates data with other devices via the network 70 in accordance with the control of the control unit 23. The communication unit 21 may be a wireless communication device or a wired communication device.

[0030] The storage unit 22 is configured using a storage device such as a magnetic hard disk drive or a semiconductor storage device. The storage unit 22 stores data used by the control unit 23. The storage unit 22 may also function as, for example, a history information storage unit 221 and a mental map information storage unit 222.

[0031] The history information storage unit 221 stores history information. The history information shows the history of report information transmitted from the terminal device 10 of users utilizing the information provision system 100. Figure 5 shows a specific example of the history information table stored by the history information storage unit 221. The history information table has multiple history information records. Each history information record has values ​​for date and time, user ID, location information, and mental information.

[0032] The date and time indicates the date and time when the report information was obtained. The date and time can be defined in any way as long as it is a date and time related to the content of the report information, such as the date and time when the report information was sent or the date and time when the report information was generated. The user ID indicates the user of the terminal device 10 from which the report information was sent. The location information is the location information included in the report information and indicates the location where the mental information included in the same history information record was obtained. The mental information is the mental information obtained for the user indicated by the user ID included in the same history information record, at the timing indicated by the date and time, and at the location indicated by the location information.

[0033] In the example in Figure 5, the history information table is structured to include reported information for multiple users, but the history information table may also be recorded for each user. In this case, the user ID may be omitted from the values ​​in the history information table.

[0034] The mental map information storage unit 222 stores mental map information. Mental map information is information that associates a location in the real world with the mental information of one or more users at that location. Figure 6 shows a specific example of a mental map information table stored by the mental map information storage unit 222. The mental map information table has multiple mental map information records. Each mental map record has a region ID, region information, and mental information values.

[0035] A region ID is an identifier assigned to each region defined by dividing the real world, and it is information that uniquely identifies each region.

[0036] The region information indicates the extent of the region indicated by the region ID. For example, if the region is defined as a circle with a predetermined radius, the region information may be configured to indicate the center position of that circle. If the radius differs for each region, the region information may be configured to indicate the radius length and the center position of the circle. For example, if the region is defined as a rectangle of a predetermined size, the region information may be configured to indicate the center of that rectangle or the position of a predetermined point (e.g., the upper left corner). If the region is defined as a polygon, the region information may be configured to indicate the position of each corner, or if the shape and size of the polygon are constant, it may be configured to indicate the position of a predetermined point of the polygon (e.g., the upper left corner). The region information may be configured in any way that allows for the definition of the region's location.

[0037] Mental information represents a representative value of the mental information acquired in that domain. A representative value is a value obtained based on one or more mental information acquired in that domain. The representative value may be generated in any way that indicates the trend of the mental information acquired in that domain. A representative value may be generated for each piece of mental state information. For example, a representative value for information indicating the intensity of stress and a representative value for information indicating the degree of relaxation may be generated and recorded in each domain, respectively.

[0038] Below, we will explain three specific methods for generating representative values. Note that these three methods are merely examples; representative values ​​may be obtained using other methods.

[0039] First, the first method for generating representative values ​​will be explained. In the first generation method, representative values ​​are defined as statistical values ​​of all mental information values ​​obtained within a predetermined period. The predetermined period may be defined as a predetermined period counting backward from the time when the representative value is calculated (for example, within 1 minute, within 15 minutes, within 1 hour, etc.). Statistical values ​​may be values ​​such as the maximum value, minimum value, mean value, mode, etc. The definition of statistical values ​​is the same in the following explanation. Note that the mental information of the same person used to obtain representative values ​​within a single domain may be limited to one or a predetermined number. In this case, for example, a predetermined number of mental information may be obtained sequentially from the newest mental information obtained for the same person and used in the calculation of representative values. For example, a single statistical value of all mental information obtained for the same person within a predetermined period may be obtained and used in the calculation of representative values.

[0040] Next, a second method for generating representative values ​​will be described. In the second generation method, representative values ​​are defined as statistical values ​​of the amount of change that occurs when each user enters the processing area (the area from which representative values ​​are obtained) from another adjacent area. The amount of change may be defined, for example, as the difference between the mental information value obtained immediately before the intrusion and the mental information value obtained immediately after the intrusion. The amount of change may also be defined, for example, as the difference between the statistical values ​​of multiple mental information values ​​including the time immediately before the intrusion and the statistical values ​​of multiple mental information including the time immediately after the intrusion. The amount of change may be shown as a positive value if it increases, and as a negative value if it decreases. In the second generation method as well, the mental information used to obtain representative values ​​may be limited to mental information obtained within a predetermined period. The definition of the predetermined period is the same as in the first generation method described above.

[0041] Next, the third method for generating representative values ​​will be explained. In the third generation method, representative values ​​are defined as statistical values ​​of the change in the amount of change that occurs when each user enters the processing area (the area from which representative values ​​are to be obtained) from another adjacent area and then exits to another adjacent area. In this case, the user's mental information is used to obtain the representative value only if the change in the first change (the amount of change upon entry) satisfies the first condition, and the change in the second change (the amount of change upon exit) satisfies the second condition. For example, the first condition may be an increase exceeding a predetermined first threshold, and the second condition may be a decrease exceeding a predetermined second threshold. With this definition, for example, if the stress level (a value indicating that the user is feeling more stressed the higher it is) increases when entering the processing area, and decreases when exiting the processing area, it can be seen that there is a cause for the increased stress in that processing area. The first and second change levels may be obtained using mental information at multiple timings, similar to the second generation method. In the third generation method as well, the mental information used to obtain representative values ​​may be limited to mental information obtained within a predetermined period. The definition of the predetermined period is the same as in the first generation method described above.

[0042] Returning to the explanation of Figure 4, the control unit 23 is composed of a processor such as a CPU and memory. The control unit 23 functions as an information control unit 231, a mental map information generation unit 232, and an information provision unit 233 when the processor executes a program. Note that all or part of each function of the control unit 23 may be implemented using hardware such as an ASIC, PLD, or FPGA. The above program may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. Computer-readable recording media include, for example, portable media such as flexible disks, magneto-optical disks, ROMs, CD-ROMs, and semiconductor storage devices (e.g., SSDs), as well as storage devices such as hard disks and semiconductor storage devices built into computer systems. The above program may be transmitted via a telecommunications line.

[0043] The information control unit 231 controls the information that is input to or output from the information providing device 20. For example, when the information control unit 231 receives report information from the terminal device 10, it records the received report information in the history information storage unit 221.

[0044] The mental map information generation unit 232 generates mental map information based on the history information stored in the history information storage unit 221. The mental map information generation unit 232 obtains representative values ​​for each region based on the history information stored in the history information storage unit 221, for example. The processing performed by the mental map information generation unit 232 when obtaining representative values ​​may be one of the first generation method, second generation method, and third generation method described above, or it may be any other method. The mental map information generation unit 232 records the representative values ​​generated in each region in the mental information of the mental map information record.

[0045] The information provision unit 233 provides information by transmitting the mental map information stored in the mental map information storage unit 222 to the terminal device 10. For example, the information provision unit 233 may provide the terminal device 10 with mental map information including the region containing the location information and the surrounding region, depending on the location information received from the terminal device 10. The terminal device 10 may, for example, transmit location information of its own location to the information provision device 20, or transmit location information of a location specified by the user to the information provision device 20.

[0046] Figure 7 shows a specific example of the regions of mental map information. As shown in Figure 7, each region may be defined by dividing an existing map into multiple rectangles. In this case, the range of a given map is divided into nine regions. In each region, the mental map information generation unit 232 acquires representative values ​​of mental information. Figure 8 shows a specific example of mental map information. In Figure 8, the numbers shown in each region represent representative values. In the display of mental map information, representative values ​​may be displayed in each region in this way, or they may be displayed in a display manner corresponding to the representative values. A display manner corresponding to the representative values ​​may, for example, have the color within the region change according to the representative values, or the size of the characters or images may change according to the representative values.

[0047] The information provision system 100, configured in this way, provides a new technology for utilizing mental information. Specifically, it works as follows: In the information provision system 100, mental information obtained at the destination location for multiple users is acquired by the information provision device 20. The information provision device 20 acquires each user's mental information in association with the location where the mental information was acquired, and obtains representative values ​​for each region. Map information showing the representative values ​​for each region is then provided to each user. As a result, users can learn what kind of mental state people, including themselves, are in in each region shown on the map.

[0048] For example, by obtaining mental map information that shows representative values ​​of stress levels, it is possible to recognize areas where many people feel high levels of stress as potentially dangerous areas. This is because dangerous events may be occurring in areas where many people feel high levels of stress. Therefore, it becomes possible to avoid or evacuate from areas where potential danger may be present.

[0049] For example, by obtaining mental map information that shows representative values ​​of the degree of relaxation, it becomes possible to recognize areas where many people feel relaxed as potentially areas where healing can be obtained. Therefore, it becomes possible to find areas where relaxation is possible and actively approach them.

[0050] Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of an example hardware configuration of an information processing device 90 applied to this embodiment. The information processing device 90 comprises a processor 91, main memory 92, communication interface 93, auxiliary storage device 94, input / output interface 95, and internal bus 96. The processor 91, main memory 92, communication interface 93, auxiliary storage device 94, and input / output interface 95 are connected to each other via the internal bus 96 so as to be able to communicate with each other. The information processing device 90 may be applied to, for example, a terminal device 10 and an information providing device 20. In this case, for example, the communication unit 11 and the communication unit 21 may be configured using the communication interface 93. For example, the storage unit 16 and the storage unit 22 may be configured using the auxiliary storage device 94. Also, the control unit 17 and the control unit 23 may be configured using the processor 91 and the main memory 92.

[0051] (modified version) In the embodiment described above, location information is acquired as information indicating a location in the real world. However, location information may also be defined as information indicating a location in a virtual world. For example, location information may be defined as information indicating a location in a space constructed as a virtual space such as a metaverse. Specific examples of such location information include spatial coordinates within the metaverse and block IDs that indicate blocks. Since there are multiple types of metaverses, identification information (e.g., service name) that identifies the metaverse may also be used as location information. In this case, mental map information is also generated as information representing mental information in each region of the virtual space.

[0052] In this case, the location information acquisition unit 14 of the terminal device 10 acquires location information of the avatar operated by the user of the terminal device 10 in the virtual space. In this case, it is also desirable that the control unit 17 of the terminal device 10 functions separately as a device that provides the virtual space to the user. In this case, the avatar in the virtual space moves according to the operation of the input unit 12, and images of the virtual space and avatar are displayed on the output unit 13. At this time, the information providing device 20 may function as a device that provides the virtual space, or another information processing device different from the information providing device 20 may function as a device that provides the virtual space. In this case, the information providing device 20 may provide mental map information to the user through the device that provides the virtual space. In this case, for example, a map image showing the mental map information may be displayed on a part of the display screen of the virtual space, or images and effects related to the mental map information may be displayed in the virtual space. With this configuration, it becomes possible to recognize the mental state of other users in the area of ​​the virtual space and to obtain motivation such as moving to other areas.

[0053] The information providing device 20 may be implemented using multiple information processing devices. For example, the information providing device 20 may be implemented using a cloud or other similar device. For example, in the information providing device 20, the storage unit 22 and the control unit 23 may be implemented in different information processing devices. For example, the storage unit 22 of the information providing device 20 may be distributed and implemented across multiple information processing devices.

[0054] Figure 10 shows a modified version of the information provision system 100. The information provision system 100 may further include a notification terminal device 30. The notification terminal device 30 is configured using an information processing device such as a smartphone, tablet, personal computer, or mobile phone. In the modified version, the information provision unit 233 of the information provision device 20 determines whether a predetermined notification condition has been met for each area. The predetermined notification condition may be, for example, that a representative value exceeds a predetermined threshold. More specifically, it may be that a representative value of information indicating the intensity of stress exceeds a predetermined threshold. In such cases, as described above, there is a possibility that a dangerous event has occurred in that area. When such a notification condition is met, the information provision unit 233 notifies the notification terminal device 30 of the area in which the notification condition has been met. When the notification terminal device 30 receives notification of an area in which the notification condition has been met, it notifies the user of the notification terminal device 30 that the notification condition has been met and the area in question. The user of the notification terminal device 30 may be, for example, an employee of a security company or a police officer, or any other person who responds to danger. Such notifications enable a swift response to potential dangers.
