In the accompanying drawings, identical or similar elements are given identical or similar reference symbols, and duplicated descriptions of identical or similar elements may be omitted in the description of each embodiment. In addition, the features shown in each embodiment may be applied to other embodiments as long as they are not mutually inconsistent. Furthermore, the drawings are schematic and do not necessarily correspond to actual dimensions, ratios, etc. The drawings may also include parts with different dimensional relationships and ratios.

[0028] According to this embodiment, by associating the user's health information with the user's use information of the inhalation device, the user can be effectively informed of changes in the user's health condition caused by the use of the inhalation device. In particular, the user can be visually informed of the reduction in the stress felt by the user before and after the user uses the inhalation device. In the following description, the inhalation device is assumed to be an aerosol generating device, particularly a heated flavor inhaler, although this is not limited thereto.

[0029] <1. Overall system> 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an overall system 1 related to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The overall system 1 includes an aerosol generating device 100, a user terminal 200, a server 300, a wearable terminal 600, and networks 400, 500, and 700.

[0030] The aerosol generating device 100 is an electronic device that generates an aerosol or a flavored aerosol to be inhaled by a user. The user terminal 200 acquires the usage information of the aerosol generating device 100 by the user and the user's health information, and executes an application 250 for presenting the user with changes in health status accompanying the use of the aerosol generating device 100 by associating these. The server 300 cooperates with the application 250 on the user terminal 200 to manage various data related to the user and the application 250. Note that the server 300 may execute a part of the processing of the application 250. The wearable terminal 600 is an information processing device that is worn on the user's body and acquires activity amounts including biological information.

[0031] The network 400 connects the aerosol generating device 100 and the user terminal 200. The connection may be wireless or wired. The network 500 connects the user terminal 200 and the server 300 wirelessly, and may be the Internet in one example. The network 700 connects the wearable terminal 600 and the user terminal 200. As with the network 400, the connection may be wireless or wired.

[0032] The configurations of the aerosol generation device 100, the user terminal 200, the server 300, and the wearable terminal 600 included in the system 1 will be described below.

[0033] <1-1. Aerosol generating device> 2 is a schematic diagram of a configuration example of the aerosol generating device 100. The aerosol generating device 100 may be, for example, a heated flavor inhaler, and may include various inhalation devices that generate aerosols to be inhaled by a user or aerosols to which flavor has been added. In addition, the inhaled components generated may include gases such as invisible steam in addition to aerosols.

[0034] The aerosol generating device 100 includes a power supply unit 11, a cartridge 12, and a flavoring cartridge 13. The power supply unit 11 functionally includes a power supply section 111, a sensor section 112, a notification section 113, a memory section 114, a communication section 115, and a control section 116. The cartridge 12 includes a heating section 121, a liquid guiding section 122, and a liquid storage section 123. The flavoring cartridge 13 includes a flavor source 131 and a mouthpiece 124.

[0035] The power supply unit 111 accumulates power. The power supply unit 111 supplies power to each component of the aerosol generation device 100 under the control of the control unit 116. The power supply unit 111 is configured by, for example, a rechargeable battery such as a lithium ion secondary battery.

[0036] The sensor unit 112 acquires various information related to the operation of the aerosol generation device 100. As an example, the sensor unit 112 may include a button or a switch, etc., and detects whether the power of the aerosol generation device 100 is on or off. The sensor unit 112 may also be composed of a pressure sensor such as a microphone capacitor, a flow rate sensor, or a temperature sensor, etc., and acquires various values ​​(e.g., temperature information, battery information, malfunction information, etc.) related to the inhalation operation (puffing operation) by the user.

[0037] Further, the sensor unit 112 is realized by an inhalation sensor, and acquires the number of puffing actions (puff count) of the user. Furthermore, in cooperation with a timer (not shown) provided in the control unit 116, the puffing action time over a series of puffing actions is acquired. In addition, the sensor unit 112 may be realized by a contact sensor or the like, and acquires the consumption amount (e.g., the number of cartridges used or the number of cartridges replaced, etc.) consumed by the user's inhalation action by detecting the attachment / detachment of the flavoring cartridge 13. Alternatively, the consumption amount of the flavoring cartridge 13 may be calculated from puff information such as the number of puffs of the aerosol generating device 100. For example, a series of 15 puffs by the user may be associated with the consumption of one flavoring cartridge 13.

[0038] In this way, the usage history of the aerosol generation device 100 by the user can be identified by acquiring the number of puffs, the puffing operation time, and / or the consumption amount of the flavoring cartridges 13. In the following, the consumption amount of the aerosol generation device 100 refers to the number of puffs of the aerosol generation device 100 and / or the number of used flavoring cartridges 13. Without being limited thereto, for example, the consumption amount may include the number of cartridges 12 instead of or in addition to the number of used flavoring cartridges 13.

[0039] Information regarding the user's puffing operation and information regarding the usage history of the aerosol generating device 100 are preferably stored in the memory unit 114 as usage information of the aerosol generating device 100, together with the corresponding time determined by a timer (not shown) provided in the control unit 116.

[0040] The notification unit 113 notifies the user of various information related to the operation of the aerosol generation device 100. The notification unit 113 is composed of, for example, a light emitting device (e.g., an LED) that emits light, a display device that displays an image, a sound output device that outputs sound, or a vibration device that vibrates.

[0041] The storage unit 114 stores various information related to the operation of the aerosol generating device 100.

In addition, in the case of wired communication, for example, a data communication cable is connected through an external connection terminal such as a micro USB.

[0043] The communication unit 115 inputs / outputs data related to the operation of the aerosol generation device 100 between an external device such as a user terminal 200. The communication unit 115 may be provided inside the aerosol generation device 100, or may be provided in a communication device detachable from the aerosol generation device 100 and function integrally with the aerosol generation device.

[0044] The control unit 116 functions as an arithmetic processing device and a control device, and controls the overall operation of the aerosol generation device 100 in accordance with various programs. The control unit 116 is realized by electronic circuits such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a microprocessor.

[0045] Heating unit 121 heats the aerosol source to atomize the aerosol source and generate an aerosol. For example, heating unit 121 is configured of a coil and is wound around liquid guiding unit 122. Heating unit 121 generates heat in response to power supply from power supply unit 111. When heating unit 121 generates heat, the aerosol source held in liquid guiding unit 122 is heated and atomized, and an aerosol is generated.

[0046] The liquid guide unit 122 guides and holds the aerosol source, which is a liquid stored in the liquid storage unit 123, from the liquid storage unit 123. The liquid guide unit 122 is preferably a wick formed by twisting a fiber material such as glass fiber or a porous material such as porous ceramic. In this case, the aerosol source stored in the liquid storage unit 123 is guided by the capillary effect of the wick.

[0047] The liquid reservoir 123 stores the aerosol source. The aerosol source is a liquid, such as, for example, polyhydric alcohols, such as glycerin and propylene glycol, and water. The aerosol source may include tobacco-derived or non-tobacco-derived flavoring ingredients.

[0048] The air flow path 180 is a flow path for air inhaled by the user. The air flow path 180 has a tubular structure with an air inlet hole 181, which is an entrance of air into the air flow path 180, and an air outlet hole 182, which is an exit of air from the air flow path 180, at both ends. The air that flows in from the air inlet hole 181 as the user inhales is mixed with the aerosol generated by the heating unit 121, and is transported to the air outlet hole 182 through the flavor source 131 as shown by the arrow 190. When the mixed fluid of the aerosol and air passes through the flavor source 131, the flavor components contained in the flavor source 131 are imparted to the aerosol.

[0049] Mouthpiece 124 is a member that is held in the mouth of a user when inhaling. Air outlet hole 182 is arranged in mouthpiece 124. By holding mouthpiece 124 in the mouth and inhaling, the user can take in a mixed fluid of aerosol and air into the oral cavity.

[0074] Furthermore, the control unit 640a may cause the health information determination unit 630a to calculate a stress value based on the user's heart rate acquired by the biosensor unit 610a. For example, the stress value may be determined by quantifying the maximum heart rate as a percentage.

[0078] The first acquisition unit 211a acquires usage information of the aerosol generation device 100 by the user from the aerosol generation device 100 through communication. In particular, the usage information may include the period of use of the aerosol generation device 100. More specifically, the usage information may include the start time and / or end time of the puffing operation of the aerosol generation device 100. The usage information may also include the puffing operation time from the start to the end of a series of puffing operations by the user. Furthermore, the usage information may include the number of puffs by the user on the aerosol generation device 100. Such usage information is data detected by the sensor unit 112a of the aerosol terminal 100.

[0079] The second acquisition unit 212a acquires the user's health information from the wearable terminal 600. The user's health information may include the user's heart rate and / or the above-mentioned stress value calculated based on the user's heart rate. This information is data detected by the biosensor unit 610 of the wearable terminal 600 or determined by the health information determination unit 630a.

[0080] The processing unit 230a associates the health information of the user with the usage information of the aerosol generation device 100. More specifically, the processing unit 230a may associate the health information identified at a time later than the usage period of the aerosol generation device 100 with the record of the use of the aerosol generation device 100. The processing unit 230a may also associate the stress value of the user with the usage information of the aerosol generation device 100. Furthermore, the processing unit 230a may associate the health information with the number of puffs in a series of puffing actions by the user. In addition, the processing unit 230a may determine the amount of change between the stress value during and after use of the aerosol generation device 100 for the record of the use of the aerosol generation device 100, and associate this with the usage information of the aerosol generation device 100.

[0081] The output unit 240a generates and outputs a daily activity screen in response to a user's request, regarding the user's use information of the aerosol generating device 100 and the user's health condition. According to one embodiment, the daily activity screen includes a display of a graph showing a record of the use of the aerosol generating device 100 based on the use information of the aerosol generating device 100 and a transition of the user's condition based on the user's health information over time. In particular, the transition of the user's condition may include a transition of a stress value.

[0082] The output unit 240a may also output the amount of change in the stress value with respect to the record of the user's use of the aerosol generation device 100. Furthermore, the output unit 240a may output the total time of puffing action per day and the consumption of the aerosol generation device 100 (for example, the number of flavoring cartridges 13 used) calculated based on the total number of puffs per day.

[0083] The server 300 includes a log storage unit 310a and a communication unit 320a. The log storage unit 310a stores various log information processed and acquired by the user terminal 200. The log information includes the above-mentioned various information and is used to present the user with changes in health status accompanying the use of the aerosol generating device 100. In addition, the log information may include location information acquired by the user terminal 200.

[0084] <2-2. Processing flow example> The outline of the operation of the information processing system 1a of the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8. Fig. 7 is a process flow diagram of the information processing system of the first embodiment. Fig. 8 is an enlarged view of an example of a stress curve for identifying a change in health condition accompanying the use of the aerosol generating device 100.

[0085] In the following, an example will be shown in which the user terminal 200, which is an information processing device according to this embodiment, executes processing steps in cooperation with the aerosol generating device 100, the wearable terminal 600, and the server 300 through communication. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the processing steps shown here are merely examples and may include any other processing steps without being limited thereto. In addition, the order of the processing steps shown here is also merely an example and may be any order without being limited thereto.

[0086] Every time the user uses the aerosol generation device 100, that is, every time a series of puffing operations is performed, in step S11a, the sensor unit 112a of the aerosol generation device 100 acquires usage information of the aerosol generation device 100. The acquired information is temporarily stored in the memory unit 114 of the aerosol generation device 100.

[0087] Next, in step S12a, the communication unit 115a transmits the usage information of the aerosol generation device 100 by the user to the user terminal 200. Such transmission is preferably performed, for example, every time communication is established between the aerosol generation device 100 and the user terminal 200 and mutual interaction is performed. Here, only the difference from the most recently transmitted usage information needs to be transmitted.

[0088] In response to this, in step S21a, in the user terminal 200, the communication unit 220a receives the usage information transmitted from the aerosol generation device 100, and the first acquisition unit 211a acquires the usage information. The acquired usage information is stored in the memory 22 of the user terminal, etc. For example, the usage information includes one or more of the usage period, the number of puffs, and the puff operation time of the aerosol generation device 100.

[0089] On the other hand, in step S61a, the biosensor unit 610a of the wearable terminal 600 continuously monitors and detects biometric information of the user wearing the wearable terminal 600. Such biometric information includes the user's heart rate. The detected biometric information is temporarily stored in the memory 62 of the wearable terminal 600.

[0090] Next, in step S62a, the health information determination unit 630a determines the user's health information based on the biometric information. For example, the stress value of the user is calculated based on the user's heart rate acquired by the biometric sensor unit 610a. The user's health information is also temporarily stored in the memory 62 of the wearable terminal 600.

[0091] Next, in step S63a, communication unit 620a transmits the user's health information determined in step S62a to user terminal 200. Note that the biometric information acquired in step S61a may be transmitted as is as the user's health information. In this case, instead of health information determination unit 630a of wearable terminal 600, user terminal 200 may determine the user's health information based on the acquired biometric information.

[0092] While the user wears the wearable terminal 600 and monitors the biological information, the wearable terminal 600 and the user terminal 200 may be in constant communication with each other. In addition to or instead of this, the communication between the two may be established periodically, or may be established in response to a connection request from the user in either one of the devices. That is, such transmission may be performed at any timing while the communication between the wearable terminal 600 and the user terminal 200 is established and a mutual conversation is being performed. Here, it is sufficient to transmit only the difference from the health information most recently transmitted.

[0093] In response to this, in step S22a, in the user terminal 200, the communication unit 220a receives the health information transmitted from the wearable terminal 600, and the second acquisition unit 212a acquires the health information. The acquired health information is stored in the memory 22 or the like of the user terminal. Note that it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the order of steps between step S21a and step 22a is not limited to this.

[0094] In step S23a, the processing unit 230a associates the health information acquired in step S22a with the usage information acquired in step S21. More specifically, the health condition of the user according to the usage record is associated with the use of the aerosol generating device 100 by the user. The associated information is stored in the memory 62 and / or the storage 63.

[0095] Here, an example of the relationship between the record of use of the aerosol generating device 100 based on the use information acquired in step S21a and the health information acquired in step S22a is shown in the stress curve of Fig. 8. Those skilled in the art will understand that by referring to the stress curve, the transition of the user's condition accompanying the use of the aerosol generating device 100 can be identified. Here, the stress curve str=f(t) is a function defined by the horizontal axis representing the time t and the vertical axis representing the stress value str.

[0096] The horizontal axis specifies the use start time Ts, the use end time Te, and the use period P therebetween. The use start time Ts, the use end time Te, and the use period P are included in the use information.

[0097] For example, the use start time Ts may be the time when the sensor unit 112a detects that the aerosol generation device 100 is powered on. Similarly, the use end time Te may be the time when the aerosol generation device 100 is powered off. Alternatively, the use end time Te may be the time when no operation is detected for a predetermined period (e.g., 2 minutes) after the last operation by the user on the aerosol generation device 100 is detected. The operation here may include a puffing operation.

[0098] 8, the stress value may continue to increase immediately after the user uses the aerosol generation device 100, and then may decrease after a certain period of time has passed. The decrease in the user's stress value compared to before use is considered to be due to the user's use of the aerosol generation device 100. In other words, the stress value that has decreased after a certain period of time may be associated with a record of the user's use of the aerosol generation device 100.

[0099] More specifically, during the usage period P during which the user actually used the aerosol generation device 100, the stress value str increases for a while even after the usage end time Te. After that, the stress value reaches a maximum value STs max (which is also the maximum value here), and thereafter the stress value decreases. The stress value STe' after a time period D1 has elapsed since the end of use time Te becomes a value that is lower than the stress value during the use period P (for example, the stress value Ste at the end of use time Te). According to experiments by the inventors, such a time period D1 is, for example, about 30 minutes.

[0100] In this embodiment, in step S23a described above, a stress value specified at a time later than the usage period P (i.e., time Te+D1) is associated with a record of use of the aerosol generation device 100 specified by the usage period P. This makes it possible to specify, using a specific stress value, that the user's stress is reduced in response to the user's use of the aerosol generation device 100.

[0101] In addition, in the above-mentioned step S23a, it is preferable to calculate the amount of change in the stress value during use of the aerosol generation device 100 and the stress value after use, for the record of use of the aerosol generation device 100. This makes it possible to associate the amount of change in the stress value before and after use of the aerosol generation device 100 with the record of use. In other words, it is more effectively possible to identify that the user's stress is reduced before and after use of the aerosol generation device 100.

[0102] The stress value during use of the aerosol generating device 100 may be a stress value STs at the use start time Ts or a stress value STe at the use end time Te. Alternatively, the stress value during use of the aerosol generating device 100 may be determined based on the stress value from the use start time Ts to a time after a predetermined time period D2 has elapsed (i.e., time Ts+D2).

[0103] Specifically, the stress value during use of the aerosol generating device 100 is the “maximum value” of the stress value during the period from the start time Ts of use to the time after a predetermined period D2 has elapsed (i.e., time Ts+D2) (in the example of FIG. 8, STs max In another example, the stress value during use of the aerosol generating device 100 is the "minimum value" of the stress value during the period from the start time Ts of use to the time after the lapse of a predetermined time period D2 (i.e., time Ts+D2) (in the example of FIG. 8, STs min ) can also be used.

[0104] Here, if the aforementioned "maximum value" is applied to the stress value when using the aerosol generating device 100, the amount of change between the stress value when using the aerosol generating device 100 and the stress value after use becomes large (stress change amount V1). In other words, the reduction in stress value can be presented to the user more effectively. On the other hand, if the aforementioned "minimum value" is applied to the stress value when using the aerosol generating device 100, the amount of change based on the most realistic and accurate stress value is calculated (stress change amount V2). In other words, more accurate health information can be presented to the user.

[0105] As described above, the stress value after use of the aerosol generation device 100 should be the stress value (STe') at a predetermined time after the end of use (that is, at time Te+D1).

[0106] In the example of Fig. 8, the usage information includes a usage period P, a usage start time Ts, and a usage end time Te. In addition, the usage information may include the number of puffs performed by the user using the aerosol generation device 100 together with the operation time. In this case, in the above-mentioned step S23a, the processing unit 230a may associate health information such as a stress value with the number of puffs in a series of puffing operations by the user (i.e., the number of puffs performed by the user during one inhalation). Similarly, the usage information may include a puffing operation time from the start to the end of a series of puffing operations by the user.

[0107] Returning to FIG. 7, following step S23a, in step S24a, the output unit 240a generates and outputs a daily activity screen of the user in response to a user request. The activity screen is a screen in which various data processed in step S23a are organized as daily activity data, and is presented to the user in response to the user request. For example, the activity screen may include a display of a graph showing a record of the use of the aerosol generating device 100 based on the usage information and a transition of the user's condition based on health information over time, superimposed thereon.

[0108] In step S24a, the activity screen output by the output unit 240a may further include a display of the amount of change in the stress value with respect to the record of the use of the aerosol generating device 100. Details of such activity screens will be described later.

[0109] Finally, in step S25a, the communication unit 220a transmits various data obtained by executing steps S21a to S24a as log data to the server 300. The log data may include various data such as location information of the user terminal 200.

[0110] In response to this, in step S31a, the communication unit 320a of the server 300 receives the log data, and the log storage unit 310a stores the received log data in the memory 32 and / or the storage 33.

[0111] Through this processing flow, it is possible to effectively present to the user the change in health condition accompanying the use of the aerosol generating device 100. In particular, it is advantageous in that it is possible to visually present to the user that the stress felt by the user is reduced before and after the user uses the aerosol generating device 100.

[0112] <2-3. Example of activity screen implementation> Now, with reference to Figs. 9 to 11, an implementation example of each screen image generated by the output unit 240a of the user terminal 200 as a result of the processing in the processing flow shown in Fig. 6 will be described. Figs. 9 and 11 are respectively example images of the activity screen displayed on the user terminal 200. Also, Figs. 10A to 10C are some examples of graphs displayed on the activity screen. The user can select and view a desired activity screen of either Fig. 9 or Fig. 11 on the application 250. Note that only one of the screens of Fig. 9A or Fig. 11 may be implemented.

[0113] 9 is an image of an example of an activity screen D1 generated by the output unit 240a in step S24a. The activity screen D1 includes displays of a graph g1, a message m1, usage record information u1 of the aerosol generating device 100, and a user's stress state s1. The activity screen is generated based on daily aggregate data.

[0114] FIG. 10A is an enlarged image of a portion of the graph g1 shown in FIG. 9. The graph g1 is a compilation of data for each day (April 16, 2020 in this example), with the horizontal axis indicating time and the vertical axis indicating stress value. A bar graph like the graph g1 indicates the transition of the average stress value for each hour of the day, and a record of the use of the aerosol generation device 100 (here, a cigarette icon ic) is superimposed and displayed together with the bar graph. For example, at 1:00 a.m. on April 16, 2020, the user's stress value is 50, and a record of the user's use of one flavoring cartridge 13 of the aerosol generation device 100 is presented in association with this.

[0115] While FIG. 10A shows a bar graph of the user's stress value every hour, FIG. 10B shows a continuous line graph of the user's stress value. In FIG. 10B, for example, stress values ​​every 10 minutes are plotted, and a line graph is generated by interpolating between them. The record of the use of the aerosol generation device 100 is superimposed and displayed together with the line graph. Also, in FIG. 10C, in addition to the line graph of FIG. 10B, the consumption amount of the aerosol generation device 100 (here, the number of flavoring cartridges 13 used) is further provided on the vertical axis (right side). That is, a bar graph showing the usage amount of the aerosol generation device 100 is superimposed and displayed together with the line graph of the stress value.

[0116] 9, the message m1 displayed on the activity screen D1 is one selected from a plurality of messages prepared in advance based on the characteristics of the stress value pattern shown in the graph g1. The characteristics of the stress value pattern may be analyzed by the control unit 640b of the wearable terminal 600 and supplied to the second acquisition unit 212a of the user terminal 200 as a part of the health information. Alternatively, the application 250 of the user terminal 200 may perform such analysis processing.

[0117] The usage history information u1 of the aerosol generating device 100 displayed on the activity screen D1 is based on the usage information acquired by the second acquisition unit 212a. As described above, the usage information may include the puffing operation time from the start to the end of a series of puffing operations by the user. The rest time in the usage history information u1 is calculated as the total time for that day when the puffing operation time for each day is tallied.

[0118] Similarly, the usage information may include the number of puffs in a series of puffing actions by the user (i.e., the number of puffs performed by the user during one smoking session). The number of aerosol generation devices (cartridges) used in the usage history information u1 is a value obtained by tallying up the number of puffs per day and converting it into the amount of flavor-imparting cartridges consumed (i.e., the number of cartridges used) corresponding to the total number of puffs on that day. In this manner, it is preferable to output at least one of the total number of puffs per day and the amount of (cartridges) consumed by the aerosol generation device 100 calculated based on the total number of puffs per day. Note that, although not limited thereto, it is preferable to convert the amount of consumption assuming that, for example, 15 puffs correspond to the consumption of one flavor-imparting cartridge 13.

[0119] The user's stress state s1 displayed on the activity screen D1 includes a display of a stress value and daily stress details. The stress value displayed on the activity screen D1 is the average stress score for that day. In addition, the daily stress details display the time for each level of "high," "medium," and "low." Although not limited to this, for example, the time when the stress value for that day was 76 to 100 is "high," the time when the value was 50 to 75 is "medium," and the time when the value was 0 to 49 is "low," and the total time for each level is shown.

[0120] Fig. 11 is an image of another example of the activity screen D2 generated in step S24a. In particular, in the activity screen D2, various data t1 are displayed in table format instead of the graph g1 of the activity screen D1 of Fig. 9. Here, the "time of use" item is the start time (or end time) of use of the aerosol generating device 100 included in the usage information. The data t1 is arranged in a chronological order in the table according to the time of use.

[0121] The item "number of cartridges" is the consumption amount (i.e., the number of cartridges used) of the flavoring cartridge 13 according to the item "time of use." "During use," "After use," and "amount of stress change" are the stress value during use of the aerosol generating device 100, the stress value after use, and the amount of change (difference) therebetween, which are associated with the record of use of the aerosol generating device 100, as described with reference to FIG. 8.

[0122] The display of the user's stress state s2 on the activity screen D2 is similar to the display of the user's stress state s1 on the activity screen D1.

[0123] In this way, in the activity screen D2, the output unit 240a outputs the change in the stress value with respect to the record of the use of the aerosol generation device 100. This allows the user to confirm the visualized stress transition before and after the use of the aerosol generation device 100 in an objective numerical value.

[0124] <3. Information Processing System According to the Second Embodiment> <3-1. Information Processing System> 12 is a schematic diagram of a functional configuration implemented in an information processing system 1b according to the second embodiment. Specifically, the information processing system 1b includes an aerosol generating device 100, a user terminal 200, a server 300, and a wearable terminal 600, similar to the information processing system 1a according to the first embodiment.

[0125] The sensor unit 112b, the communication unit 115b, and the control unit 116b of the aerosol generation device 100 are similar to the sensor unit 112a, the communication unit 115a, and the control unit 116a of the aerosol generation device 100 of the first embodiment.

[0126] The biosensor unit 610b, communication unit 620b, health information determination unit 630b, and control unit 640b of the wearable terminal 600 are similar to the biosensor unit 610a, communication unit 620a, health information determination unit 630a, and control unit 640a of the wearable terminal 600 of the first embodiment.

[0127] The input section 210b, the first acquisition section 211b, the second acquisition section 212b, the communication section 220b, and the output section 240b of the user terminal 200 are similar to the input section 210a, the first acquisition section 211a, the second acquisition section 212a, the communication section 220a, and the output section 240a of the user terminal 200 in the first embodiment.

[0128] The server 300 includes a log storage unit 310b, a communication unit 320b, a processing unit 330b, and a ranking determination unit 331b. Of these, the log storage unit 310b and the communication unit 320b are similar to the log storage unit 310a and the communication unit 320a of the server 300 of the first embodiment.

[0129] The processing unit 330b of the server 300 is implemented with the same function as the processing unit 230a provided in the user terminal 200 in the first embodiment. The ranking determination unit 331b of the server 300 determines the ranking of all registered users based on a predetermined score (described later).

[0130] <3-2. Processing flow example> 13 is a process flow diagram of the information processing system 1b according to the second embodiment. In the following, an example is shown in which the user terminal 200 executes the process steps while cooperating with the aerosol generating device 100, the wearable terminal 600, and the server 300 through communication. It is understood by those skilled in the art that the process steps shown here are merely examples and may include any other process steps without being limited thereto. In addition, the order of the process steps shown here is merely examples and may be any order without being limited thereto.

[0131] Steps S11b and S12b performed by the aerosol generation apparatus 100 are similar to steps S11a and S12a performed by the aerosol generation apparatus 100 in the first embodiment.

[0132] Furthermore, steps S61b, S62b, and S63b executed by the wearable terminal 600 are similar to steps S61a, S62a, and S63a executed by the wearable terminal 600 in the first embodiment.

[0133] Furthermore, step S21b and step S22b executed by the user terminal 200 are similar to step S21a and step S22a executed by the user terminal 200 in the first embodiment. Also, step S24b executed by the user terminal 200 is generally similar to step S24a executed by the user terminal 200 in the first embodiment. That is, in step S24b, each screen and its display items similar to those in step S24a in the first embodiment are displayed. In addition to step S24a, in step S24b, the output unit 240b generates and outputs a ranking screen, which will be described later.

[0134] Step S31b (that is, the step of storing the log data) executed by the server 300 is similar to step S31a executed by the server 300 in the first embodiment.

[0135] Step S33b executed by the server 300 is similar to each function of step S23a executed by the user terminal 200 in the first embodiment. That is, in this embodiment, the process of associating the usage information and the health information is executed by the server 300, whereas in the first embodiment, the process is executed by the user terminal 200. Therefore, in this embodiment, data is appropriately transmitted and received between the communication unit 220b of the user terminal 200 and the communication unit 320b of the server 300.

[0136] Subsequently, in step S36b executed by the server 300, the ranking determination unit 331b determines the ranking of the user based on the health information of the user. For example, the ranking of a certain user among all users may be determined using an average value of the stress value over one week calculated from the daily stress value of the user. The determined ranking of the user may be displayed by the output unit 240b of the user terminal 200.

[0137] Through this processing flow, it is possible to effectively present to the user the change in health condition accompanying the use of the aerosol generation device 100. In particular, it is possible to visually present to the user that the stress felt by the user is reduced before and after the user uses the aerosol generation device 100.

[0138] 14 is an example image of a ranking screen D3 displayed on the user terminal 200 in step S24. Here, the stress values ​​of each user for the week from April 5, 2020 to April 11, 2020 are ranked. Here, the ranking is performed such that the lower the stress value, the higher the ranking. It is preferable to calculate the average stress value for one week using the stress value for each day.

[0139] <4. Other embodiments> (1) In the above description of the first and second embodiments, the heart rate, which is an example of the user's biological information, is monitored and detected by the wearable terminal 600. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the user terminal 200 may detect the user's heart rate. The wearable terminal 600 can also measure the heart rate using an LED (light-emitting diode) light and a photosensitive photodiode. Based on this mechanism, the image capturing unit 28 of the user terminal 200 is used, and in response to a finger being placed in contact with the image capturing unit 28, which is configured by an out-camera, a flashlight (not shown) is blinked and the intensity of the reflected light is measured, thereby making it possible to measure the user's heart rate in the user terminal 200 one by one.

[0140] In this case, the biosensor units 610a and 610b of the wearable terminal 600 may be provided in the user terminal 200. In this case, the stress value determined from the user's heart rate is also determined in the user terminal 200. In other words, the health information determination units 630a and 630b of the wearable terminal 600 may also be provided in the user terminal 200.

[0141] (2) In the above description of the second embodiment, the server 300 mainly cooperates with the user terminal 200 to execute information processing including processing for further associating the usage information and the health information. In addition, the server 300 may cooperate with an external Web service to add information processing for associating the usage information and the health information with information acquired from the service. For example, weather information may be acquired from an external source, and the weather fluctuation may be associated with the user's condition based on the health information, and the associated information may be displayed on the user terminal 200. This allows the relationship between the weather information and the user's health condition to be visualized on the user terminal 200.

[0142] (3) In the above description, an information processing device, an information processing method, and an information processing system according to some embodiments have been described with reference to the drawings. It is understood that the present disclosure may also be embodied as a program that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to operate an information processing device and / or execute an information processing method, or a computer-readable storage medium having the program stored thereon.
