Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments for implementing the present invention will be exemplarily described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the configurations, numerical values, processing flows, functional elements, etc. described in the following embodiments are merely examples, and their modifications and changes are free, and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention to the following description. In this specification, "system" shall include one or more information processing devices. For example, a single information processing device can also constitute a system, and when a plurality of information processing devices cooperate to perform functions such as a web server, these information processing devices can also constitute a system. Further, as described in the following embodiments, the "system" may include an information processing device that functions as a web server, one or more terminal devices, and one or more inspection devices in addition.

[0012] [First Embodiment] The proposal selection device according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the operation of the proposal selection device 100 according to this embodiment. The proposal selection device 100 is a device that selects a proposal for improving at least one of the first predetermined operation 102 and the second predetermined operation 103 based on the first predetermined operation information 121 while the user 101 is performing the first predetermined operation 102 and the second predetermined operation information 131 while the user 101 is performing the second predetermined operation 103.

[0013] The first predetermined operation 102 and the second predetermined operation 103 are operations performed by the same user 101. Also, the first predetermined operation 102 and the second predetermined operation 103 are different operations. Here, "the operations are different" includes not only cases where the operations themselves are different, such as walking and running, but also cases where the operations are the same but the ways of moving are different, or cases where the operations are the same but the timings of performing the operations are different when viewed along the time series. Here, the operation can also be paraphrased as the type of movement, and "the operations are the same but the ways of moving are different" can also be expressed as "the types of movement are the same but the ways of moving are different". Examples of cases where the operations are the same but the ways of moving are different include cases where the walking ways are different even for the same walking operation, and cases where the scenes of performing the operations are different.

[0014] Even when performing the same walking motion, cases where the walking style differs include, for example, when the first predetermined motion 102 is a walking style at a certain point in time, and the second predetermined motion 103 is a walking style after using a product to change the walking style of the first predetermined motion 102, after receiving treatment from a masseur or osteopath, or after receiving advice to change the walking style of the first predetermined motion 102.

[0015] Cases where the scene where the motion is performed is different include, for example, when the first predetermined motion 102 and the second predetermined motion 103 are performed in different places or environments. Specifically, when the first predetermined motion 102 is a walking motion during commuting and the second predetermined motion 103 is a walking motion during sports, when the first predetermined motion 102 is a walking motion when walking in the city and the second predetermined motion 103 is a walking motion when walking in the mountains, when the first predetermined motion 102 is a walking motion on a sunny day and the second predetermined motion 103 is a walking motion on a rainy day, etc.

[0016] Even when the motion is the same, cases where the timing of performing the motion is different when viewed along the time series include, for example, when the first predetermined motion 102 is a walking motion and the second predetermined motion 103 is a walking motion that starts again after the first predetermined motion 102 has ended. When the first predetermined motion 102 and the second predetermined motion 103 have different timings of performing the motion, it is preferable that the second predetermined motion 103 is performed at an interval of several hours to several weeks after the first predetermined motion 102 has ended.

[0017] Hereinafter, as the first predetermined motion 102, the walking style of the user 101 at a certain point in time will be taken as an example, and as the second predetermined motion 103, the walking style of the user 101 after using a product to change the first predetermined motion 102 will be described. The second predetermined motion 103 may or may not show the effect of using a product to change the first predetermined motion 102 with respect to the first predetermined motion 102.

[0018] First, the proposal selection device 100 acquires first predetermined operation information 121 while the user 101 is performing a first predetermined operation 102. Typically, the user 101 is made to walk while holding a user terminal such as a smartphone 104 with a built-in acceleration sensor, and at this time, the acceleration data obtained by the acceleration sensor is acquired as the first predetermined operation information 121. The smartphone 104 is disposed on the midline of the user 101's body. The smartphone 104 may be held by the user 101 or attached to the user 101's body. Here, from the viewpoint of measurement simplicity, it is preferable to dispose a user terminal such as the smartphone 104 at the navel or lower abdomen of the user's body, walk, and acquire acceleration data in terms of measurement simplicity. In addition, when acquiring a predetermined operation, the number of steps and time for which the user walks can be set to a predetermined number of steps and time, but from the viewpoint of achieving both measurement simplicity and accuracy, the number of steps is preferably several steps to several tens of steps.

[0019] When the proposal selection device 100 acquires the first predetermined operation information 121 from a user terminal such as the smartphone 104, the proposal selection device 100 selects a first physical health care proposal 105 for improving the first predetermined operation 102. Then, the proposal selection device 100 notifies the selected first physical health care proposal 105 to a mobile terminal 107 such as a smartphone held by the user 101, which is the notification destination. The first physical health care proposal 105 is presented to the user 101 by being displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 107.

[0020] After that, user 101 uses products or services to change the first predetermined action 102. After user 101 uses products or services to change the first predetermined action 102, the proposal selection device 100 acquires second predetermined action information 131. The acquisition of the second predetermined action information 131 is performed in the same manner as the first predetermined action information 121. Specifically, user 101 is made to walk while holding an acceleration sensor, and the acceleration data obtained by the acceleration sensor at this time is acquired as the second predetermined action information 131. The acquisition of the first predetermined action information 121 and the second predetermined action information 131 may be performed, for example, by user 101 starting an application installed on the smartphone 104 and following the instructions of the application.

[0021] Then, the proposal selection device 100 selects a proposal for improving the second predetermined action 103 using the first predetermined action information 121 and the second predetermined action information 131. Specifically, by comparing the first predetermined action information 121 and the second predetermined action information 131, the parts that need further improvement in the second predetermined action 103 are identified. The "parts that need improvement" include not only the parts of user 101's body but also the characteristics of the action and the habits of the action. Then, the proposal selection device 100 selects physical health care proposals 105, 106 for improving the identified parts. Specifically, the proposal selection device 100 selects at least one of the first physical health care proposal 105 for improving the first predetermined action 102 and the second physical health care proposal 106 for improving the second predetermined action 103. Further, the proposal selection device 100 displays the selected physical health care proposals 105, 106 on the display screen of a mobile terminal 107 such as a smartphone owned by user 101. By looking at the physical health care proposals 105, 106 displayed on the display screen, user 101 can recognize what should be done to further improve his / her walking style.

[0022] Next, with reference to FIG. 2A, the configuration of the proposed selection device 100 according to this embodiment will be described. The proposed selection device 100 includes an operation information acquisition unit 201, a first discrimination unit 202, a second discrimination unit 203, a first evaluation unit 204, a second evaluation unit 205, a selection unit 206, and a notification control unit 207.

[0023] The operation information acquisition unit 201 acquires first predetermined operation information 121 while the user 101 is moving the body to perform a first predetermined operation 102, and second predetermined operation information 131 different from the first predetermined operation information 121 while performing a second predetermined operation 103 different from the first predetermined operation 102.

[0024] As described above, the operation information acquisition unit 201 acquires the first predetermined operation information 121 and the second predetermined operation information 131 from the acceleration sensor. Specifically, as the first predetermined operation information 121, from an acceleration sensor disposed on the midline, which is the center line of the user 101's body from left to right, while the user 101 moves the body to perform the first predetermined operation 102 and is in a muscle activation state, the first muscle activation state acceleration data is acquired. Also, as the second predetermined operation information 131, from an acceleration sensor disposed on the midline, which is the center line of the user 101's body from left to right, while the user 101 moves the body to perform the second predetermined operation 103 and is in a muscle activation state, the second muscle activation state acceleration data is acquired.

[0025] Here, as the acceleration sensor, for example, one built into a mobile terminal such as the smartphone 104 held by the user 101 is used. However, as the acceleration sensor, for example, a device such as a wearable device worn on the body of the user 101, a data logger capable of recording acceleration data, etc. may also be used.

[0026] For example, when user 101 uses smartphone 104 to record acceleration data during a predetermined operation, user 101 first holds smartphone 104 on the midline of his own body. Note that in order to ensure that user 101 holds smartphone 104 on the midline, proposal selection device 100 may give instructions to user 101 via smartphone 104, such as by voice or image. Then, when the time during which the data from the acceleration sensor remains at a certain value continues for a predetermined time, proposal selection device 100 determines that user 101 has held the smartphone on the midline. Proposal selection device 100 can determine the direction of gravity by acquiring the acceleration data in this state.

[0027] User 101 moves his body to perform first predetermined operation 102 and second predetermined operation 103 while holding smartphone 104 on the midline. Note that proposal selection device 100 may notify user 101 of the timing to move his body via smartphone 104. In this way, operation information acquisition unit 201 acquires acceleration data while user 101 is performing first predetermined operation 102 and second predetermined operation 103. Note that first predetermined operation 102 and second predetermined operation 103 include, for example, walking, running, sitting down, and sports movements, but are not limited thereto.

[0028] Operation information acquisition unit 201 may acquire first muscle operation state acceleration data from the acceleration sensor in real time, or may acquire the data recorded in the acceleration sensor after the end of first predetermined operation 102 of user 101. Further, operation information acquisition unit 201 may acquire first muscle operation state acceleration data from the acceleration sensor via wireless communication or wired communication. Alternatively, operation information acquisition unit 201 may acquire first muscle operation state acceleration data recorded in the acceleration sensor via a predetermined recording medium readable by a computer. The second muscle operation state acceleration data can be acquired in the same manner as the first muscle operation state acceleration data.

[0029] As the first predetermined motion information 121 and the second predetermined motion information 131, trunk angle data of the upper body, joint angle data of the jaw, joint angle data of the lower body, motion speed, and walking data are respectively listed. Here, regarding the case of using the trunk angle data of the upper body, for example, the content described in JP-A-2013-143996 and JP-A-2023-11101 can be appropriately used. Regarding the case of using the joint angle data of the jaw, for example, the content described in JP-A-2010-200856 can be appropriately used. It is preferable that the first predetermined motion information 121 and the second predetermined motion information 131 each include at least one or more of these from the viewpoint of grasping the health problems of the user 101. Also, from the viewpoint of specifying in detail the part that needs improvement, it is preferable that the first predetermined motion information 121 and the second predetermined motion information 131 each include at least the joint angle data of the lower body, the motion speed, and the stride. Note that the trunk angle data of the upper body, the joint angle data of the jaw, the joint angle data of the lower body, the motion speed, and the walking data can be obtained, for example, from the first muscle operation state acceleration data and the second muscle operation state acceleration data.

[0030] Here, as the trunk angle data of the upper body and the joint angle data of the jaw, typically, angle data in the sagittal plane, the frontal plane, and the horizontal plane are respectively listed.

[0031] As the joint angle data of the lower body, angle data of the pelvis, the hip joint, the knee joint, and the ankle joint are listed. It is preferable that the joint angle data of the lower body includes all of these from the viewpoint of specifying in detail the part that needs improvement.

[0032] As the walking data, typically, the number of steps, the walking speed as the motion speed, and the stride are listed. In addition to the above-mentioned, as the walking data, data according to the walking situation such as the stance phase and the swing phase, and the walking angle, the toe angle, the walking cycle time, the double support phase time, the walking ratio, etc. are listed.

[0033] Based on the first predetermined motion information 121, the first discrimination unit 202 discriminates which type among a plurality of motion types corresponding to the joint angle data, motion speed, and stride of the lower body the first predetermined motion 102 belongs to. Examples of the plurality of motion types include the following types A to E. Note that the plurality of motion types are not limited to the following five types A to E, and may be four or less, or six or more.

[0034] <Type A: No problem> Type A has no particular problem with the walking style and is a normal walking style.

[0035] <Type B: Slipping foot type> Type B is a walking style with a narrow stride and a slipping foot gait. The reasons for the walking style to be type B are assumed to be a narrow range of motion of the ankle, flat feet without an arch in the feet, and inability to lift the toes when walking. Also, when the walking style is type B, the calf muscles are less likely to move, and it is considered that swelling is likely to occur due to blood flow obstruction. Furthermore, it is also considered that the front of the thigh is overused and thus prone to fatigue, and it is easy to gain weight in the lower body.

[0036] <Type C: Pelvic tilt backward type> Type C is a walking style in which the pelvis is tilted backward, the backward kick is weak, and the extension of the hip joint is insufficient. The reason for the walking style to be type C is assumed to be that the movement is inhibited due to the position of the pelvis, in other words, poor alignment of the pelvis. Also, when the walking style is type C, it is considered that stiffness in the neck, shoulders, and back is likely to occur due to hunchback. Furthermore, since the spine does not rest on the pelvis by tilting the upper body forward, the nerves may be compressed or muscle stiffness may occur, and as a result, it is easy to feel the weight, dullness, and pain in the waist.

[0037] <Type D: Pelvic tilt forward type> Type D is a type in which the pelvis is tilted forward, resulting in chronic low back pain. The causes of the walking style becoming type D are assumed to be poor pelvic position, in other words, poor pelvic alignment, swayback due to excessive forward tilt of the pelvis, and insufficient range of motion of the ankle joint or hip joint. Also, when the walking style is type D, it is considered that the S-shaped curve of the spine collapses and the burden on the waist is concentrated, making chronic low back stiffness and pain likely to occur. It is also considered that swelling is likely to occur due to poor blood circulation, and the abdomen and buttocks are likely to protrude.

[0038] <Type E: Common pain occurrence type (knee)> Type E is a type in which pain occurs in the knee due to the walking style. The causes of the walking style becoming type E are assumed to be insufficient range of motion of the ankle joint or hip joint. Specifically, originally, the three points of the ankle, knee, and hip joint should be balanced, but due to insufficient range of motion of the ankle joint or hip joint, the walking style becomes one that compensates with the knee, and it is assumed that the burden is concentrated on the knee. Also, when the walking style is type E, it is considered that swelling due to poor blood circulation is likely to occur due to a stiff hip joint or difficult movement of the calf muscles. Furthermore, it is considered that the trunk becomes unstable or easily fatigued due to a stiff hip joint or difficult movement of the inner muscles.

[0039] Whether the first predetermined motion 102 corresponds to any of types A to E can be determined based on the angle data, motion speed, and stride of the pelvis, hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint. Specifically, the angle data, motion speed, and stride of the pelvis, hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint are each scored, and based on the combination of these scores, it can be determined which of types A to E it corresponds to. First, the scoring method will be explained. The first discrimination unit 202 scores the angle data, motion speed, and stride of the pelvis, hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint respectively based on the scoring criteria shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C.

[0040] Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 2B, a method for scoring the angular data of the pelvis, hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint will be described in order. When scoring the angular data of the pelvis, hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint, the amplitude data of the range of motion of the pelvis, hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint is used. The amplitude data of the range of motion of the pelvis, hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint is obtained from the angular data of the pelvis, hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint.

[0041] <Scoring criteria 221 for the pelvis> The first discrimination unit 202 refers to the scoring criteria 221 for the pelvis and determines the pelvis score 221b according to the amplitude 221a of the range of motion of the pelvis. Typically, the amplitude data of the range of motion of the pelvis in the first predetermined motion 102 is compared with the amplitude data of the range of motion of the reference pelvis. When the amplitude 221a of the range of motion of the pelvis during the first predetermined motion 102 is -15 degrees or more and 5 degrees or less (when the range of motion of the pelvis is within the reference), the score is set to 1; when it is less than -15 degrees (when the pelvis is overly anteriorly tilted), the score is set to 2; when it is more than 5 degrees (when the pelvis is overly posteriorly tilted), the score is set to 3.

[0042] <Scoring criteria 222 for the hip joint> The first discrimination unit 202 refers to the scoring criteria 222 for the hip joint and determines the hip joint score 222b according to the amplitude 222a of the range of motion of the hip joint. Typically, the amplitude data of the range of motion of the hip joint in the first predetermined motion 102 is compared with the amplitude data of the range of motion of the reference hip joint. When the amplitude 222a of the range of motion of the hip joint during the first predetermined motion 102 is 45 degrees or more (when the hip joint is used well), the score is set to 1; when it is 42 degrees or more and less than 45 degrees (when the hip joint is not used well), the score is set to 2; when it is 39 degrees or more and less than 42 degrees (when the hip joint is used less well), the score is set to 3; when it is 36 degrees or more and less than 39 degrees (when the hip joint is used even less well), the score is set to 4.

[0043] <Scoring criteria 223 for the ankle joint> The first discrimination unit 202 determines the ankle joint score 223b according to the amplitude 223a of the range of motion of the ankle joint with reference to the scoring criteria 223 of the ankle joint. Typically, the amplitude data of the range of motion of the ankle joint in the first predetermined motion 102 is compared with the amplitude data of the range of motion of the reference ankle joint. When the amplitude 223a of the range of motion of the ankle joint during the first predetermined motion 102 is 29 degrees or more (when the ankle joint is used well), the score is set to 1; when it is 27 degrees or more and less than 29 degrees (when the ankle joint is not used well), the score is set to 2; when it is 25 degrees or more and less than 27 degrees (when the ankle joint is used less well), the score is set to 3; when it is 23 degrees or more and less than 25 degrees (when the ankle joint is used even less well), the score is set to 4.

[0044] <Scoring criteria 224 for the knee joint> The first discrimination unit 202 determines the knee joint score 224b according to the amplitude 224a of the range of motion of the knee joint with reference to the scoring criteria 224 of the knee joint. Typically, the amplitude data of the range of motion of the knee joint in the first predetermined motion 102 is compared with the amplitude data of the range of motion of the reference knee joint. When the amplitude 224a of the knee joint during the first predetermined motion 102 is less than -15 degrees (when the knee joint is used well), the score is set to 1; when it is -15 degrees or more and less than -13 degrees (when the knee joint is not used well), the score is set to 2; when it is -13 degrees or more and less than -11 degrees (when the knee joint is used less well), the score is set to 3; when it is -11 degrees or more (when the knee joint is used even less well), the score is set to 4.

[0045] Next, with reference to FIG. 2C, the method for scoring the movement speed and step width will be described in order.

[0046] <Scoring criteria 225 for movement speed> The first discrimination unit 202 determines a motion speed score 225b corresponding to the motion speed 225a with reference to the motion speed scoring criterion 225. Typically, the motion speed in the first predetermined motion 102 is compared with a reference motion speed. When the motion speed 225a during the first predetermined motion 102 is 125 cm / sec or more (when the motion speed 225a is equal to or higher than the reference), the score is set to 1. When it is 115 cm / sec or more and less than 125 cm / sec (when the motion speed 225a is within the reference), the score is set to 2. When it is less than 115 cm / sec (when the motion speed 225a is less than the reference), the score is set to 3.

[0047] <Stride scoring criterion 226> The first discrimination unit 202 determines a stride score 226b corresponding to the stride 226a with reference to the stride scoring criterion 226. Typically, the stride in the first predetermined motion 102 is compared with a reference stride. When the stride 226a during the first predetermined motion 102 is 65 cm / sec or more (when the stride 226a is equal to or higher than the reference), the score is set to 1. When it is 60 cm / sec or more and less than 65 cm / sec (when the stride 226a is within the reference), the score is set to 2. When it is less than 60 cm / sec (when the stride 226a is less than the reference), the score is set to 3.

[0048] Next, a method for discriminating which of types A to E the first predetermined motion 102 belongs to based on the combination of scores will be described. An example of the relationship between the combination of scores and types A to E is shown below. Type A: Pelvis score: 1, Hip joint score: 1 or 2, Knee joint score: 1 or 2, Ankle joint score: 1 or 2, Motion speed score: 1, Stride score: 1 Type B: Pelvis score: 1, 2 or 3, Hip joint score: 1, 2, 3 or 4, Knee joint score: 1, 2, 3 or 4, Ankle joint score: 3 or 4, Motion speed score: 3, Stride score: 3 Type C: Pelvis score: 3, Hip joint score: 3 or 4, Knee joint score: 2, 3 or 4, Ankle joint score: 2, 3 or 4, Motion speed score: 1 or 2, Stride score: 1 or 2 Type D: Score of pelvis; 3, Score of hip joint; 2, 3 or 4, Score of knee joint; 1, 2, 3 or 4, Score of ankle joint; 1, 2, 3 or 4, Score of movement speed; 1 or 2, Score of stride width; 1 or 2 Type E: Score of pelvis; 1, Score of hip joint; 3 or 4, Score of knee joint; 2, 3 or 4, Score of ankle joint; 3 or 4, Score of movement speed; 1, 2, 3 or 4, Score of stride width; 1, 2, 3 or 4

[0049] In the above manner, the first discrimination unit 202 discriminates which of types A to E the first predetermined movement 102 belongs to. Note that the above type classification is an example. Also, when the first predetermined movement 102 belongs to multiple types, it is determined that it belongs to the type assigned to the earlier alphabet in alphabetical order of A to E.

[0050] The second discrimination unit 203 discriminates which of the types of multiple movements the second predetermined movement 103 belongs to based on the second predetermined movement information 131. The discrimination by the second discrimination unit 203 can be performed in the same manner as the discrimination by the first discrimination unit 202.

[0051] The first evaluation unit 204 calculates the first evaluation value of the first predetermined movement 102 based on the type of movement to which the first predetermined movement 102 belongs. The first evaluation value is an index representing the degree of improvement required in each type of movement. For example, when the first predetermined movement 102 is type B (scissoring gait type), the larger the first evaluation value, the more severe the scissoring gait. The first evaluation value can be, for example, the total value of the scores 221b to 226b of the above-described scoring criteria 221 to 226.

[0052] The second evaluation unit 205 calculates the second evaluation value of the second predetermined movement 103 based on the type of movement to which the second predetermined movement 103 belongs. The second evaluation value is, like the first evaluation value, an index representing the degree of improvement required in the type of movement. The second evaluation value can be calculated in the same manner as the first evaluation value.

[0053] The selection unit 206 selects physical health care proposals 105 and 106 for improving at least one of the first predetermined action 102 and the second predetermined action 103. Specifically, the selection unit 206 selects at least one of the first physical health care proposal 105 for improving the first predetermined action 102 and the second physical health care proposal 106 for improving the second predetermined action 103. When selecting the physical health care proposals 105 and 106, the selection unit 206 may (1) use only the first predetermined action information 121 and the second predetermined action information 131, (2) take into account the discrimination results of the first discrimination unit 202 and the second discrimination unit 203, or (3) take into account the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value. Each case will be described below.

[0054] (1) Case of using only the first predetermined action information 121 and the second predetermined action information 131 The selection unit 206 uses the first predetermined action information 121 and the second predetermined action information 131 to select physical health care proposals 105 and 106 for improving at least one of the first predetermined action 102 and the second predetermined action 103. Specifically, by comparing the first predetermined action information 121 and the second predetermined action information 131, after using a product for changing the first predetermined action 102, the changed part and the unchanged part in the walking manner of the user 101 are specified. When comparing the first predetermined action information 121 and the second predetermined action information 131, raw data, for example, pelvic angle data, may be compared with each other. Then, based on the changed part and the unchanged part, the second physical health care proposal 106 for improving the second predetermined action 103 is selected. Here, the improvement of the second predetermined action 103 includes not only improving the bad points in the second predetermined action 103, but also further improving the good points and maintaining the current action.

[0055] Examples of the physical health care proposals 105 and 106 include care products applied to the muscles and joints of the lower body, walking posture correction devices having the effect of correcting the walking manner and posture (this is defined as the walking posture correction effect in this specification), foods containing active ingredients, exercises, and rests.

[0056] Examples of care products applied to the muscles and joints of the lower body specifically include taping and sports leggings. Taping may be a taping method or a taping tape.

[0057] Examples of gait correction devices specifically include corsets for pelvic correction, supporters, and insoles that have the effect of correcting walking and posture.

[0058] Typical examples of foods containing active ingredients include supplements, commercially available health drinks, etc. Specifically, foods containing milk-derived sphingomyelin, which has been reported to have the effect of improving motor function, foods containing GABA and citric acid, which have been reported to have the effect of improving fatigue, and foods containing chlorogenic acid, which have been reported to have the effect of enhancing the quality of sleep. In terms of the form of food, supplements are preferred from the perspective of being able to conveniently supplement nutrition regardless of time and place.

[0059] Examples of exercises include stretching, yoga, etc.

[0060] Examples of rest include long hours of sleep and short naps. Examples of short naps include power naps and afternoon naps. Rest also includes sitting still or lying down in a relaxed posture.

[0061] The physical health care proposals 105 and 106 may include multiple proposals. Among the above-mentioned specific examples, the physical health care proposal 105 preferably includes, in particular, proposals regarding insoles and / or exercises that highly contribute to the correction of walking postures and postures, and proposals regarding foods containing chlorogenic acid, which has been reported to enhance the quality of sleep. It is more preferable to include proposals regarding insoles and / or exercises. Also, when the physical health care proposal 105 includes insoles and exercises, the physical health care proposals 105 and 106 may include the order of using insoles and performing exercises. From the perspective of bringing a higher sense of effectiveness to the user, the order of using insoles and performing exercises is more preferably the order of performing exercises first and then using insoles.

[0062] When the selection unit 206 selects both the first physical health care proposal 105 and the second physical health care proposal 106, it is preferable that the first physical health care proposal 105 is different from the second physical health care proposal 106. For example, it is preferable that the first physical health care proposal 105 is an exercise and the second physical health care proposal 106 is an insole.

[0063] Note that the first physical health care proposal 105 and the second physical health care proposal 106 may be the same. For example, when the user 101 performs the first physical health care proposal 105 and then the proposal selection device 100 acquires the second predetermined operation information 131, and the second physical health care proposal 106 is selected based on the second predetermined operation information 131, if the improvement by the first physical health care proposal 105 has not progressed, the second physical health care proposal 106 that is the same as the first physical health care proposal 105 may be selected again. In such a case, the two may be the same. Even when the first predetermined operation 102 and the second predetermined operation 103 are different types of operations, the physical health care proposals 105 and 106 for improving both may coincide, and the second physical health care proposal 106 that is the same as the first physical health care proposal 105 may be the same.

[0064] (2) When considering the discrimination results of the first discrimination unit 202 and the discrimination results of the second discrimination unit 203 The selection unit 206 may select the physical health care proposals 105 and 106 by taking into account at least one of the discrimination results of the first discrimination unit 202 and the discrimination results of the second discrimination unit 203. An example of a preferred physical health care proposal 105 and 106 for each type of operation is shown below. Type A: It may not be necessary to select the physical health care proposals 105 and 106 Type B: An insole that can lift the arch of the foot and is not very high Type C: Adjusting the position and inclination of the foot with a heel cup Type D: An insole that can support the arch of the foot, optimize the rocker function, correct the movement of the foot, and adjust the position and inclination of the foot; a heel cup that can correct the movement of the foot Type E: An insole that can support the arch of the foot and optimize the rocker function, and an insole that can correct the movement of the foot

[0065] When the discrimination results of the first discrimination unit 202 and the second discrimination unit 203 are different, it is recognized that the user 101 has obtained the effect of using a product for changing the first predetermined operation 102, and it is considered that the walking method of the second predetermined operation 103 has changed from the walking method of the first predetermined operation 102. Therefore, it is considered that the part that needs improvement in the second predetermined operation 103 is different from the part that needs improvement in the first predetermined operation 102. For example, the first predetermined operation 102 is of type B (slipping foot type), while the second predetermined operation 103 is of type C (posterior pelvic tilt). Thus, when the parts that need improvement are different between the second predetermined operation 103 and the first predetermined operation 102, examples of the second physical health care proposal 106 selected by the selection unit 206 include products different from the products for changing the first predetermined operation 102.

[0066] Also, when the way of walking changes between the second predetermined motion 103 and the first predetermined motion 102, it is considered that the first predetermined motion 102 needed improvement, while the second predetermined motion 103 has no particular problem and no particular part needs improvement. For example, the first predetermined motion 102 is of type B (scuffing type), while the second predetermined motion 103 is of type A (no problem). In this way, when there is no particular part that needs improvement, the second predetermined motion 103, as the second physical health care proposal 106 selected by the selection unit 206, includes products for maintaining the second predetermined motion 103 and the like.

[0067] (3) When considering the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value The selection unit 206 may select the physical health care proposals 105 and 106 by considering at least one of the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value. By considering the first evaluation value or the second evaluation value, it becomes possible to select the physical health care proposals 105 and 106 according to the degree of improvement required for each type of motion, so that more appropriate physical health care proposals 105 and 106 can be selected. Hereinafter, a method of selecting the second physical health care proposal 106 by considering the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value for each type of motion will be described. Note that the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value mentioned here include not only the total value of each score but also the value of each score as described below.

[0068] <When both the first predetermined motion 102 and the second predetermined motion 103 are of type B (scuffing)> Assume that from the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value, the improved points and unimproved points in the second predetermined motion 103 with respect to the first predetermined motion 102 are specified as follows. (Improved points) · Changed from scuffing walking to heel-striking walking (Unimproved points) · Narrow stride · Flat feet

[0069] In the second predetermined motion 103, as described above, the reason for the change from shuffling gait to heel-striking gait is considered to be that the user 101 can lift the arch of the foot as the first physical health care proposal 105 for improving the first predetermined motion 102, and an insole with a not-so-high height is used. By using such an insole, it is considered that the toes are lifted. Furthermore, it is considered that the range of motion of the ankle has widened and the rocker function has been improved.

[0070] Also, in the second predetermined motion 103, as described above, as a result of the change from shuffling gait to heel-striking gait, along with the activation of the calf muscles, it is considered that the swelling has improved. Furthermore, it is also considered that the burden on the front of the thigh has been reduced due to the improvement of the walking posture.

[0071] In this way, the second predetermined motion 103 has improved in terms of the change from shuffling gait to heel-striking gait, but the narrow stride and flat feet have not been improved, and the improvement is insufficient. Therefore, the selection unit 206 selects, as the second physical health care proposal 106 for improving the second predetermined motion 103, for example, an insole that can lift the arch of the foot and has a higher height.

[0072] That is, when both the discrimination result obtained from the first predetermined motion information 121 and the discrimination result obtained from the second predetermined motion information 131 are of the same type B, the selection unit 206 of the proposal selection device 100 selects the second physical health care proposal 106 in consideration of the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value. More specifically, by comparing the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value, when the second evaluation value has improved, an insole with a higher height than the insole proposed in the first physical health care proposal 105 is selected as the second physical health care proposal 106.

[0073] As described above, the second predetermined operation 103 was insufficiently improved. Therefore, it is preferable that the proposal selection device 100 analyzes the walking style (third predetermined operation) of the user 101 after the user 101 implements the second physical health care proposal 106 for improving the second predetermined operation 103, to confirm whether the third predetermined operation has been improved. Specifically, the proposal selection device 100 acquires the third predetermined operation information while the third predetermined operation is being performed. Further, based on the acquired third predetermined operation information, the proposal selection device 100 discriminates which of the operation types A to E the third predetermined operation belongs to, or calculates the third evaluation value of the third predetermined operation, to analyze the third predetermined operation. The acquisition of the third predetermined operation information, the discrimination of which of the plurality of operation types A to E the third predetermined operation belongs to, and the calculation of the third evaluation value can be performed in the same manner as the first predetermined operation 102 and the second predetermined operation 103. The analysis of the third predetermined operation can be performed, for example, by regarding the third predetermined operation as the second predetermined operation 103 and the second predetermined operation 103 as the first predetermined operation 102, and in the same manner as the first predetermined operation 102 and the second predetermined operation 103.

[0074] After notifying the second physical health care proposal 106, the proposal selection device 100, for example, after two weeks have passed, assumes that the proposal has been implemented, and transmits a message to the smartphone 104 to prompt the user 101 to perform the third predetermined operation in order to cause the user 101 to perform the third predetermined operation. The third predetermined operation information is acquired from the third predetermined operation performed by the user 101 in response to the transmitted message.

[0075] For example, regarding the third predetermined operation, assuming that as a result of discriminating which of the operation types A to E the third predetermined operation belongs to, the third predetermined operation also belongs to type B (scuffing type). Also, assuming that the third evaluation value is calculated, and from the calculated third evaluation value, the points improved and not improved in the third predetermined operation compared to the second predetermined operation 103 are specified as follows. (Improved points)·Stride length improved (walking speed increased)·Flat feet improved (Points not improved)·None

[0076] As described above, as a result of the improvement in stride and flat feet, the third specified movement is considered to be a way of using the body that is not easily fatigued due to appropriate walking posture and appropriate load.

[0077] Thus, the third specified movement has improved stride and flat feet, and all points that need to be improved have been improved. That is, the third specified movement has become an ideal movement and there is no need for further improvement. Therefore, the proposal selection device 100 does not need to select a third physical health care proposal for the third specified movement. However, the proposal selection device 100 may select, for example, an insole that can exercise the toes as a third physical health care proposal for maintaining the third specified movement.

[0078] Since the third specified movement has become an ideal movement, there is no need to acquire the specified movement information and analyze the walking style of the user 101 after the time when the third specified movement information is acquired. However, it is also preferable to periodically acquire the specified movement of the user 101 and analyze the walking style. By doing so, it is possible to periodically confirm whether the user 101 can maintain an ideal movement. Also, when the user 101 feels unwell in his / her own movement or the like, the proposal selection device 100 may acquire the specified movement information and analyze the walking style.

[0079] The above example of the third specified movement was an example where the third specified movement became an ideal movement. However, when the third specified movement still has points that need to be improved, the proposal selection device 100 selects a third physical health care proposal for improving the third specified movement. Furthermore, regarding the walking style of the user 101 after the time when the third specified movement information is acquired, the specified movement information is acquired and the walking style is analyzed. And it is preferable to repeat the selection of the physical health care proposal, the acquisition of the specified movement information, and the analysis of the walking style until all points that need to be improved are improved.

[0080] <When both the first specified movement 102 and the second specified movement 103 are of type C (posterior pelvic tilt)> Assume that from the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value, the points improved and not improved in the second predetermined operation 103 with respect to the first predetermined operation 102 are specified as follows. (Points improved) · The position of the pelvis was optimized (Points not improved) · The backward kick is weak and the extension of the hip joint is insufficient

[0081] In the second predetermined operation 103, as described above, the reason for the optimization of the pelvis position is considered to be that the user 101 adjusted the position and inclination of the foot with a heel cup as the first physical health care proposal 105 for improving the first predetermined operation 102. As a result, it is considered that the position of the foot was optimized by the heel cup. Furthermore, it is also considered that the backward tilt of the pelvis was improved due to the increase in the heel height, and the inward rotation was improved by the alignment of the pelvis.

[0082] Also, in the second predetermined operation 103, as described above, as a result of the optimization of the pelvis position, the posture is improved, and it is considered that the hunchback is also improved.

[0083] In this way, in the second predetermined operation 103, while the position of the pelvis is optimized, the backward kick is weak and the insufficient extension of the hip joint is not improved, and there are still points to be improved. Therefore, as the second physical health care proposal 106 for improving the second predetermined operation 103, for example, the selection unit 206 selects an insole that can strengthen the arch of the foot and support the movement.

[0084] Also, in the first predetermined operation 102, the forward and backward movements were inhibited due to the poor position of the pelvis. However, in the second predetermined operation 103, as described above, as a result of the optimization of the pelvis position, it is considered that the forward and backward movements are now possible. Therefore, as the second physical health care proposal 106 for improving the second predetermined operation 103, it is considered that the exercises for support are also effective.

[0085] As described above, since there are still points to be improved in the second predetermined operation 103, it is preferable for the proposal selection device 100 to analyze the third predetermined operation to confirm whether there are any points to be improved in the third predetermined operation. For example, as a result of analyzing the third predetermined operation, assume that the third predetermined operation is also type C, and from the third evaluation value, the improved points and unimproved points in the third predetermined operation compared to the second predetermined operation 103 are identified as follows. (Improved points) · Hip joint extension, stride length, and walking speed have improved (Unimproved points) · None

[0086] In the third predetermined operation, as described above, the reasons for the improvement of hip joint extension, stride length, and walking speed are considered to be that the user 101 used an insole that can strengthen the arch of the foot and support movement as the second physical health care proposal 106 for improving the second predetermined operation 103. By using such an insole, it is considered that the posture was improved and the range of motion was expanded, and as a result, dynamic movement became possible.

[0087] Also, as described above, in the third predetermined operation, as a result of the improvement of hip joint extension, stride length, and walking speed, it is considered that the way of using the body is less likely to get tired due to appropriate walking posture and appropriate load.

[0088] Thus, in the third predetermined operation, hip joint extension, stride length, and walking speed have improved, and all points to be improved have been improved. That is, the third predetermined operation is an ideal operation and there is no need to improve it further. Therefore, the proposal selection device 100 does not need to select a third physical health care proposal for the third predetermined operation. However, the proposal selection device 100 may select, for example, an insole that can exercise the toes as a third physical health care proposal for maintaining the third predetermined operation.

[0089] In addition, since the third predetermined motion is an ideal motion, it is not necessary to obtain the predetermined motion information and analyze the walking style of the user 101 after the time when the third predetermined motion information is obtained. However, in order to periodically check whether the user 101 can maintain the ideal motion, it is also preferable to periodically obtain the predetermined motion of the user 101 and analyze the walking style. Further, when the user 101 feels unwell in his or her own motion or the like, the proposed selection device 100 may obtain the predetermined motion information and analyze the walking style.

[0090] The example of the third predetermined motion described above was an example where the third predetermined motion was an ideal motion. However, when the third predetermined motion still has points to be improved, it is preferable for the proposed selection device 100 to repeat the selection of physical health care proposals, the acquisition of predetermined motion information, and the analysis of the walking style until all the points to be improved are improved.

[0091] <When both the first predetermined motion 102 and the second predetermined motion 103 are of type D (anterior pelvic tilt)> Assume that from the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value, the points improved and not improved in the second predetermined motion 103 with respect to the first predetermined motion 102 are specified as follows. (Points improved) · The range of motion of the ankle joint and hip joint has widened. · The posture and pelvic alignment have been optimized. (Points not improved) · Low back pain has occurred.

[0092] In the second predetermined motion 103, as described above, it is considered that the swelling has improved as a result of the widened range of motion of the ankle joint and hip joint and the optimized posture and pelvic alignment. Further, it is also considered that the positions of the abdomen and buttocks have improved.

[0093] Thus, in the second predetermined motion 103, while there are improvements in that the range of motion of the ankle and hip joints has increased and the alignment of the posture and pelvis has been optimized, lower back pain has occurred and there are still points to be improved. Therefore, the selection unit 206 selects, as the second physical health care proposal 106 for improving the second predetermined motion 103, for example, adjusting the position and inclination of the foot with a heel cup.

[0094] As described above, since there are still points to be improved in the second predetermined motion 103, it is preferable to analyze the third predetermined motion by the proposal selection device 100 to confirm whether there are still points to be improved in the third predetermined motion. For example, as a result of analyzing the third predetermined motion, assume that the third predetermined motion is also type D, and from the third evaluation value, the points improved and not improved in the third predetermined motion compared to the second predetermined motion 103 are specified as follows. (Improved points)·Lower back pain has improved (Points not improved)·None

[0095] In the third predetermined motion, as described above, as a result of the improvement of lower back pain, it is considered that chronic lumbar strain and pain have been improved. Furthermore, with an appropriate walking gait and appropriate load, it is considered that the body is used in a way that is not easily fatigued.

[0096] Thus, in the third predetermined motion, the lower back pain has improved and all the points to be improved have been improved. That is, the third predetermined motion is an ideal motion and there is no need for further improvement. Therefore, the proposal selection device 100 does not need to select a third physical health care proposal for the third predetermined motion. However, the proposal selection device 100 may select, as a third physical health care proposal for maintaining the third predetermined motion, for example, an insole that can exercise the toes.

[0097] Also, since the third predetermined motion is an ideal motion, there is no need to obtain the predetermined motion information and analyze the walking style of user 101 after the time when the third predetermined motion information is obtained. However, in order to periodically check whether user 101 can maintain the ideal motion, it is also preferable to periodically obtain the predetermined motion of user 101 and analyze the walking style. Further, when user 101 feels unwell in their own motion or the like, the proposal selection device 100 may obtain the predetermined motion information and analyze the walking style.

[0098] In the example of the third predetermined motion described above, the third predetermined motion was an example of an ideal motion. However, when the third predetermined motion still has points to be improved, it is preferable for the proposal selection device 100 to repeat the selection of physical health care proposals, the acquisition of predetermined motion information, and the analysis of the walking style until all the points to be improved are improved.

[0099] <When both the first predetermined motion 102 and the second predetermined motion 103 are of type E (knee)> Suppose that from the first evaluation result and the second evaluation result, the improved points and unimproved points in the second predetermined motion 103 with respect to the first predetermined motion 102 are specified as follows. (Improved points) · The range of motion of the ankle and hip joints has widened. (Unimproved points) · Knee pain is occurring.

[0100] In the second predetermined motion 103, as described above, the reason why the point where knee pain occurs has not been improved is considered to be that poor alignment such as O-shaped legs or X-shaped legs generates unnecessary moments and makes the knee area prone to load.

[0101] Also, in the second predetermined motion 103, as described above, it is considered that the swelling has improved as a result of the widened range of motion of the ankle and hip joints.

[0102] Thus, while the second predetermined motion 103 has improved in that the range of motion of the ankle and hip joints has widened, knee pain has occurred, and there are still points to be improved. Therefore, the selection unit 206 selects, as the second physical health care proposal 106 for improving the second predetermined motion 103, for example, an insole that can support the outer arch of the foot and aim to relieve pain.

[0103] As described above, since there are still points to be improved in the second predetermined motion 103, it is preferable to analyze the third predetermined motion by the proposal selection device 100 to confirm whether there are still points to be improved in the third predetermined motion. For example, as a result of analyzing the third predetermined motion, assume that the third predetermined motion is also type E, and from the third evaluation value, the points improved and not improved in the third predetermined motion compared to the second predetermined motion 103 are specified as follows. (Improved points) · Knee pain has improved (Unimproved points) · None

[0104] In the third predetermined motion, as described above, it is considered that due to the improvement of knee pain, the trunk has been stabilized, resulting in a reduction in fatigue. Furthermore, it is considered that with appropriate walking posture and appropriate load, the body is used in a way that is not easily fatigued.

[0105] Thus, in the third predetermined motion, the knee pain has improved, and all points to be improved have been improved. That is, the third predetermined motion is an ideal motion, and there is no need to improve it further. Therefore, the proposal selection device 100 does not need to select a third physical health care proposal for the third predetermined motion. However, the proposal selection device 100 may select, as the third physical health care proposal for maintaining the third predetermined motion, for example, an insole that can exercise the toes.

[0106] In addition, since the third predetermined motion is an ideal motion, there is no need to acquire the predetermined motion information and analyze the walking style of the user 101 after the time when the third predetermined motion information is acquired. However, in order to periodically check whether the user 101 can maintain the ideal motion, it is also preferable to periodically acquire the predetermined motion of the user 101 and analyze the walking style. Further, when the user 101 feels unwell in his / her own motion or the like, the proposal selection device 100 may acquire the predetermined motion information and analyze the walking style.

[0107] In the above example of the third predetermined motion, the third predetermined motion was an example of an ideal motion. However, when the third predetermined motion still has points to be improved, the proposal selection device 100 preferably repeats the selection of the physical health care proposal, the acquisition of the predetermined motion information, and the analysis of the walking style until all the points to be improved are improved.

[0108] The notification control unit 207 notifies the selected physical health care proposals 105, 106 to a predetermined notification destination. Examples of the predetermined notification destination include user terminals such as smartphones and tablet terminals possessed by the user 101. The user 101 can recognize what should be done to further improve his / her walking style by, for example, viewing the physical health care proposals 105, 106 displayed on the display screen of the user terminal.

[0109] FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an example of the type discrimination table 301 included in the proposal selection device 100. The type discrimination table 301 is a table that stores the motion type 312 in association with the angle data of the pelvis, hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint, the motion speed, and the score 311 of the stride. The score 311 is the score of the angle data of the pelvis, hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint, the motion speed, and the stride respectively. The motion type 312 is the motion types A to E according to the angle data of the pelvis, hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint, the motion speed, and the stride. The first discrimination unit 202 and the second discrimination unit 203 refer to the type discrimination table 301 to discriminate which of the plurality of motion types A to E the first predetermined motion 102 and the second predetermined motion 103 apply to.

[0110] Referring to FIG. 4, the hardware configuration of the proposal selection device 100 will be described. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) 410 is a processor for arithmetic control, and realizes each functional configuration of the proposal selection device 100 in FIG. 2A by executing a program. The CPU 410 has a plurality of processors, and may execute different programs, modules, tasks, threads, etc. in parallel. The ROM (Read Only Memory) 420 stores fixed data such as initial data and programs, and other programs. Also, the network interface 430 communicates with other devices via a network. Note that the CPU 410 is not limited to one, and may be a plurality of CPUs, or may include a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) for image processing. Also, it is desirable that the network interface 430 has a CPU independent of the CPU 410 and writes or reads transmission / reception data to / from the area of the RAM (Random Access Memory) 440. Also, it is desirable to provide a DMAC (Direct Memory Access Controller) for transferring data between the RAM 440 and the storage 450 (not shown). Further, the CPU 410 recognizes that data has been received or transferred to the RAM 440 and processes the data. Also, the CPU 410 prepares the processing result in the RAM 440, and leaves the subsequent transmission or transfer to the network interface 430 or the DMAC.

[0111] The RAM 440 is a random access memory used by the CPU 410 as a temporary storage work area. A storage area for storing data necessary for realizing the present embodiment is secured in the RAM 440. The first predetermined operation information data 441 is the data of the first predetermined operation information 121 acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 201. The second predetermined operation information data 442 is the data of the second predetermined operation information 131 acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 201. The proposal data 443 is the data of the physical health care proposals 105 and 106 selected by the selection unit 206.

[0112] The transmission / reception data 444 is data transmitted / received via the network interface 430. Also, the RAM 440 has an application execution area 445 for executing various application modules.

[0113] The storage 450 stores a database, various parameters, or the following data or programs necessary for the implementation of this embodiment. The storage 450 stores the type discrimination table 301. The type discrimination table 301 is a table that manages the relationship between the score 311 and the operation type 312 shown in FIG. 3.

[0114] Storage 450 further stores an operation information acquisition module 451, a first discrimination module 452, a second discrimination module 453, a first evaluation module 454, a second evaluation module 455, a selection module 456, and a notification control module 457. The operation information acquisition module 451 is a module that acquires first predetermined operation information 121 and second predetermined operation information 131. The first discrimination module 452 is a module that discriminates which of the types A to E of a plurality of operations the first predetermined operation 102 corresponds to based on the first predetermined operation information 121. The second discrimination module 453 is a module that discriminates which of the types A to E of a plurality of operations the second predetermined operation 103 corresponds to based on the second predetermined operation information 131. The first evaluation module 454 is a module that calculates a first evaluation value based on the type of operation to which the first predetermined operation 102 corresponds. The second evaluation module 455 is a module that calculates a second evaluation value based on the type of operation to which the second predetermined operation 103 corresponds. The selection module 456 is a module that selects physical health care proposals 105, 106 for improving at least one of the first predetermined operation 102 and the second predetermined operation 103. The notification control module 457 is a module that notifies the selected physical health care proposals 105, 106 to a predetermined notification destination. These modules 451 to 457 are read into the application execution area 445 of the RAM 440 by the CPU 410 and executed. The control program 458 is a program for controlling the entire proposal selection device 100.

[0115] The input / output interface 460 interfaces input / output data with input / output devices. A display unit 461 and an operation unit 462 are connected to the input / output interface 460. Further, a storage medium 464 may be connected to the input / output interface 460. Furthermore, a speaker 463 which is a voice output unit, a microphone (not shown) which is a voice input unit, or a GPS position determination unit may be connected. Note that programs and data related to general functions and other realizable functions of the proposal selection device 100 are not shown in the RAM 440 and the storage 450 shown in FIG. 4.

[0116] Next, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 5, the processing procedure of the proposal selection device 100 will be described. This flowchart is executed by the CPU 410 in FIG. 4 using the RAM 440, and realizes each functional configuration of the proposal selection device 100 in FIG. 2A.

[0117] In step S501, the operation information acquisition unit 201 acquires first predetermined operation information 121 while the user 101 is performing the first predetermined operation 102. In step S503, the first discrimination unit 202 discriminates which of the types A to E of a plurality of operations the first predetermined operation 102 applies to based on the first predetermined operation information 121. In step S505, the first evaluation unit 204 calculates a first evaluation value based on the type of operation to which the first predetermined operation 102 applies. In step S507, the operation information acquisition unit 201 acquires second predetermined operation information 131 while the user 101 is performing the second predetermined operation 103. In step 509, the second discrimination unit 203 discriminates which of the types A to E of a plurality of operations the second predetermined operation 103 applies to based on the second predetermined operation information 131. In step S511, the second evaluation unit 205 calculates a second evaluation value based on the type of operation to which the second predetermined operation 103 applies. In step S513, the selection unit 206 selects physical health care proposals 105 and 106 for improving at least one of the first predetermined operation 102 and the second predetermined operation 103. In step S515, the notification control unit 207 notifies the selected physical health care proposals 105 and 106 to a predetermined notification destination. In step S517, the proposal selection device 100 determines whether to select a physical health care proposal again for the operation of the user 101 after the user 101 has implemented the physical health care proposals 105 and 106 selected in step S513, for example, the third predetermined operation. For example, if there are no remaining points to be improved in the second predetermined operation and all points to be improved have been improved, it is determined not to perform the selection, and if there are remaining points to be improved in the second predetermined operation, it is determined to perform the selection.

[0118] When re-selection is performed (step S517: YES), the proposal selection device 100 returns to step S507 and repeats steps S507 to S517. Specifically, the second predetermined operation 103 is replaced with the third predetermined operation, and the first predetermined operation 102 is replaced with the second predetermined operation 103, and steps S507 to S517 are performed.

[0119] When re-selection is not performed (step S517: NO), the proposal selection device 100 ends the process.

[0120] According to the present embodiment, since the physical health care proposals 105 and 106 for improving at least one of the first predetermined operation 102 and the second predetermined operation 103 are selected, it is possible to make a proposal for improving the operation of the user 101.

[0121] In addition, the proposal selection device 100 takes into account at least one of the discrimination results of the first discrimination unit 202 and the second discrimination unit 203, and then, in consideration of the type of at least one of the operations of the first predetermined operation 102 and the second predetermined operation 103, can select the physical health care proposals 105 and 106. Therefore, the physical health care proposals 105 and 106 can be selected with higher accuracy.

[0122] In addition, the proposal selection device 100 takes into account the evaluation value calculated by at least one of the first evaluation unit 204 and the second evaluation unit 205, and then, for at least one of the first predetermined operation 102 and the second predetermined operation 103, in consideration of the degree of improvement required in the type of operation, can select the physical health care proposals 105 and 106. Therefore, the physical health care proposals 105 and 106 can be selected with higher accuracy.

[0123] In the present embodiment, a physical health care proposal is selected based on the result of comparing the first predetermined operation information 121 and the second predetermined operation information 131. Instead of this, a physical care proposal may be selected by referring to a table using the operation feature amounts obtained from each of the two (the first predetermined operation information 121 and the second predetermined operation information 131) or the scores of the operation feature amounts, or a physical health care proposal may be selected according to the total value or average value of the operation feature amounts, or a physical health care proposal may be selected using a learning model that has learned the combination of the values of both and the physical health care proposals with proven results.

[0124] In the present first embodiment, among the first physical health care proposal 105 and the second physical health care proposal 106, only the second physical health care proposal is selected using both the first predetermined operation information 121 and the second predetermined operation information 131, but it is not limited to this. For example, taking the first predetermined operation 102 and the second predetermined operation 103 as different operations, both the first predetermined operation information 121 and the second predetermined operation information 131 are acquired, and using both pieces of operation information 121 and 131, only the first physical health care proposal 105, or both the first physical health care proposal 105 and the second physical health care proposal 106 may be selected. Further, the first physical health care proposal 105 may be selected using only the first predetermined operation information 121 without using the second predetermined operation information 131.

[0125] [Second Embodiment] Next, the proposal selection device 600 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a block diagram for explaining the configuration of the proposal selection device 600 according to the present embodiment. The proposal selection device 600 according to the present embodiment is different from the above-described first embodiment in that it further includes a reception unit 601 and a determination unit 602. Since the other configurations and operations are the same as those of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations and operations, and the detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0126] The reception unit 601 receives an input of the implementation status of the first physical health care proposal 105 for improving the first predetermined operation selected by the selection unit 206. As the first implementation status, for example, "〇" is input when the first physical health care proposal 105 is implemented, and "×" is input when the first physical health care proposal 105 is not implemented. The first implementation status may include, for example, the date when the first physical health care proposal 105 was implemented. Also, when the degree of implementation of the first physical health care proposal 105 can be quantitatively evaluated, the first implementation status may include the degree of implementation. The degree of implementation may be the degree of implementation per day or the degree of implementation over a period of several days. Examples of the degree of implementation include the number of times or the duration of stretching when the first physical health care proposal 105 is stretching.

[0127] The method by which the user 101 inputs the first implementation status is not particularly limited, and various known methods can be used. For example, a user interface such as a drop-down list, radio buttons, toggle switches, check boxes, etc. may be displayed on the display screen of the user terminal, and the implementation status may be input via the user interface. Also, in a calendar on which a schedule is displayed and which is displayed on the display screen of the user terminal, when the user 101 taps the date on which the first physical health care proposal 105 was implemented, it may be configured such that it is input that the first physical health care proposal 105 was implemented on the tapped date.

[0128] The determination unit 602 determines whether the user 101 has implemented the first physical health care proposal 105 based on the first implementation status. For example, when the first implementation status is "〇", the determination unit 602 determines that the user 101 has implemented the first physical health care proposal 105, and when the first implementation status is "×", the determination unit 602 determines that the user 101 has not implemented the first physical health care proposal 105. When the first physical health care proposal 105 is expected to exert an improvement effect on the first predetermined operation by being performed a predetermined number of times or for a predetermined period, if the first physical health care proposal 105 is performed a predetermined number of times or for a predetermined period, it is determined that the first physical health care proposal 105 has been implemented.

[0129] When the determination unit 602 determines that the user 101 has implemented the first physical health care proposal 105, the selection unit 206 selects a second physical health care proposal 106 for improving the second predetermined operation 103. It is preferable that the first physical health care proposal 105 and the second physical health care proposal 106 are different. Specifically, it is preferable that the first physical health care proposal 105 is exercise and the second physical health care proposal 106 is an insole. Note that the first physical health care proposal 105 and the second physical health care proposal 106 may be the same. When the determination unit 602 determines that the user 101 has not implemented the first physical health care proposal 105, the selection unit 206 does not select the second physical health care proposal 106.

[0130] When the determination unit 602 determines that the user 101 has implemented the first physical health care proposal 105, the proposal selection device 600 may notify the user 101 to request to perform the second predetermined operation 103. In this case, when the user 101 performs the second predetermined operation 103 in accordance with the received notification, the operation information acquisition unit 201 acquires the second predetermined operation information 131.

[0131] Referring to FIG. 7, the hardware configuration of the proposal selection device 600 will be described. The RAM 740 is a random access memory that the CPU 410 uses as a temporary storage work area. In the RAM 740, a storage area for storing data necessary for realizing this embodiment is secured. The implementation status data 741 is data on the first implementation status of the first physical health care proposal 105 received by the reception unit 601.

[0132] The storage 750 stores a database, various parameters, or the following data or programs necessary for realizing this embodiment. The storage 750 further stores a reception module 751 and a determination module 752. The reception module 751 is a module that receives the input of the first implementation status of the first physical health care proposal 105. The determination module 752 is a module that determines whether or not the user 101 has implemented the first physical health care proposal 105 based on the input implementation status. These modules 751 to 752 are read into the application execution area 445 of the RAM 740 by the CPU 410 and executed.

[0133] Next, referring to the flowchart shown in FIG. 8, the processing procedure of the proposal selection device 600 will be described. This flowchart is executed by the CPU 410 in FIG. 7 using the RAM 740 to realize each functional configuration of the proposal selection device 600 in FIG. 6.

[0134] In step S801, the selection unit 206 selects the first physical health care proposal 105. The selection of the first physical health care proposal 105 is typically performed based on the discrimination result of the first discrimination unit 202 and the evaluation result of the first evaluation unit 204. The first physical health care proposal 105 is preferably, for example, stretching. In step S803, the notification control unit 207 notifies the selected first physical health care proposal 105 to a predetermined notification destination. In step S805, the determination unit 602 determines whether the user 101 has implemented the first physical health care proposal 105 based on the first implementation status of the input first physical health care proposal 105. If the user 101 has implemented the first physical health care proposal 105 (step S805: YES), in step S807, the notification control unit 207 notifies the user 101 to perform the second predetermined operation 103. The notification in step S807 is performed after a predetermined period of, for example, three weeks has elapsed since the previous notification (the notification in step S803). If the user 101 has not implemented the first physical health care proposal 105 (step S805: NO), the proposal selection device 600 repeats step S805. In step S805, it is preferable to periodically prompt the user 101 to input the implementation status, for example, by making an inquiry every week on the smartphone 104.

[0135] In this embodiment, in step S513, the selection unit 206 selects the second physical health care proposal 106. The second physical health care proposal 106 is preferably, for example, an insole. In step S515, the notification control unit 207 notifies the selected second physical health care proposal 106 to a predetermined notification destination. In this embodiment, the second physical health care proposal 106 is notified regardless of whether there are remaining points to be improved in the second predetermined operation 103 or not. If there are no remaining points to be improved in the second predetermined operation 103, the second physical health care proposal 106 is typically for maintaining the state where there are no points to be improved in the second predetermined operation 103.

[0136] Also, in step S517, the proposal selection device 600 determines whether to select a physical health care proposal again regarding the third predetermined action of the user 101 after the user 101 has implemented the second physical health care proposal 106 selected in step S513. Specifically, if there are still points to be improved in the second predetermined action 103 and the second physical health care proposal 106 should have its implementation status confirmed, it is determined to select a physical health care proposal again. On the other hand, if there are no points to be improved in the second predetermined action 103 and the second physical health care proposal 106 does not need its implementation status confirmed, it is determined not to select a physical health care proposal. The case where the second physical health care proposal 106 does not need its implementation status confirmed is, for example, when the second physical health care proposal 106 is for maintaining a state without points to be improved in the second predetermined action 103.

[0137] When re - selection is to be performed (step S517: YES), the proposal selection device 600 returns to step S801 and repeats the steps after step S801. Specifically, the second predetermined action 103 is replaced with the third predetermined action, the first predetermined action 102 is replaced with the second predetermined action 103, and the steps after step S805 are performed.

[0138] When re - selection is not performed (step S517: NO), the proposal selection device 600 ends the process.

[0139] Also according to this embodiment, similar to the proposal selection device 100 of the first embodiment, it is possible to make a proposal for improving the operation of the user 101. Also, in the proposal selection device 600, since the second physical health care proposal 106 is selected after the user 101 has implemented the first physical health care proposal 105, the second physical health care proposal 106 can be selected in consideration of the effectiveness of the first physical health care proposal 105. Therefore, a more effective proposal can be selected as the second physical health care proposal 106.

[0140] [Third Embodiment] The best embodiment of the present invention is realized as an information processing system having a plurality of information processing devices, which includes a server 1001, a plurality of smartphones (user terminals) 1004, and a network 1002 connecting them. Here, the server 1001 may be a single computer device or a collection of multiple computer devices. The number of smartphones 1004 can be any number, but it is preferably one for each user, that is, one user ID. The hardware configurations of the computer devices constituting the server 1001 or the smartphones 1004 are well-known to those skilled in the art, so the description thereof is omitted.

[0141] The overall flow of this embodiment for the user includes steps of installing an application and registering the user, performing a first predetermined operation according to the instructions of the terminal, receiving a first care proposal at the terminal, executing the first care proposal, receiving an inquiry on whether the care has been executed, performing a predetermined operation again (the second predetermined operation) according to the instructions of the terminal when answering that it has been executed, and receiving a new care proposal (next care proposal) at the terminal. The steps from receiving the inquiry on whether the care has been executed to receiving a new care proposal (next care proposal) at the terminal are repeated until the second predetermined operation becomes a problem-free operation, that is, until no improvement is required. Whether the repetition is no longer necessary is understood by the user based on the content of the care proposal shown in the step of receiving a new care proposal (next care proposal) at the terminal. In this embodiment, if the first predetermined operation of the first user is an ideal predetermined operation and no improvement is required, it ends at the first care proposal step. Also, in this embodiment, the predetermined operation is walking. That is, both the first predetermined operation and the second predetermined operation are the same walking motion. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first predetermined operation is set as the first predetermined operation, and for the second and subsequent times, the previously performed predetermined operation is the first predetermined operation, and the later performed predetermined operation is the second predetermined operation.

[0142] In this embodiment, as operation information, a "type" obtained by classifying operations is used. That is, the operation information acquisition unit classifies the walking motion of the user into the types described below using the raw data obtained from the acceleration sensor when performing a walking of 3 to 10 steps, which is a predetermined operation, to obtain operation information. Specifically, walking feature amounts are extracted from the raw data, and using the extracted walking feature amounts, the walking is classified into walking types. The selection unit selects a care proposal for the user using the classified types. Specifically, a care proposal is selected from a list of care proposal candidates (care proposal candidate table) using the classified types. Note that, for the first time, a care proposal is selected using only the walking type of the first time, but for care proposals based on remeasurement after the second time, the previous walking type (first operation information) and the current walking type (second operation information) recorded in the user database (user DB) are used for selection. The classified type and the care proposal are notified to the user terminal 1004 via the notification control unit of the server and transmitted to the user.

[0143] In the user DB, the name, the destination to which care products and the like are sent, the type of the user's operation notified to the user, the care proposal notified to the user, and the notified date are associated with each user ID and stored. The name and the destination are stored in the user information step of the new registration module described later with the information input by the user in the terminal first-time module described later. In this embodiment, the user DB is provided in the server. Note that those skilled in the art will understand that it is a simple design change to configure each module so that the information of the user DB is not provided in the server, but these information are stored in the user terminal and transmitted together with the measured raw data every time.

[0144] This embodiment is realized by the cooperation of each module constituting the program of the server 1001 and each module including the terminal first-time module and the repetition module constituting the application program (app) of the smartphone 1004. Note that the module referred to in this specification refers to a program or a set of a plurality of programs configured such that a CPU executes a specific process. First, the cooperation of operations between the modules will be described.

[0145] When an application is installed on the smartphone 1004 and launched in response to a user's operation, the initial terminal module is launched to obtain sensor information when the user performs a predetermined operation and transmit it to the server 1001 together with information for user registration. In response, the new user registration module is launched on the server 1001, and type information and care proposals are returned to the smartphone 1004. Thereafter, for example, the repetition module is automatically launched on the smartphone 1004 every week, and the launched repetition module transmits the sensor information when the user performs a predetermined operation to the server 1001 again. On the server 1001 that has received the sensor information, the proposal module operates again to return the type information and care proposals to the smartphone 1004. The automatic launch of the repetition module on the smartphone 1004 every week and the operation of the proposal module again on the server 1001 in response thereto are repeated until it is determined in the proposal module again that no further care proposals are required and that fact is notified to the smartphone 1004 to stop the automatic launch of the repetition module every week.

[0146] With reference to FIG. 10, the operations of the initial terminal module and the repetition module that constitute the application on the smartphone 1004 side will be described.

[0147] In the initial terminal module, first, in the user registration step S1001, user registration is accepted. Specifically, the user operates the smartphone 1004 to input the user's name, the destination for sending care products, age, gender, etc. according to the instructions displayed on the screen of the smartphone 1004. The input user information is temporarily stored in the storage device of the smartphone 1004.

[0148] In the subsequent predetermined operation start step S1003, first, a command is given to the user to prepare for walking, that is, to hold the smartphone 1004 in front of the abdomen in a standing state. This command is preferably displayed on the screen and causes the vibrator inside the smartphone 1004 to vibrate or outputs sound from the speaker of the smartphone 1004. This is because when the smartphone is held against the abdomen, the user cannot see the screen. In the predetermined operation start step S1003, after issuing a command for predetermined operation preparation, using the acceleration sensor inside the smartphone, if it is detected that the user has been stationary for at least 1 second or more, preferably for 3 seconds, a command for starting the predetermined operation is given. When output is performed by vibration, after detecting stationary, the vibration function built into the smartphone 1004 operates, and the smartphone vibrates to give a command for starting the predetermined operation to the user holding the smartphone 1004. Also, when output is performed by sound, the command for starting the predetermined operation is given by outputting sound from the speaker built into the smartphone, for example, "Please take 6 steps straight ahead as you are." Note that the number of steps to be instructed is at least 4 steps, preferably 6 to 10 steps.

[0149] In the predetermined operation start step S1003, when an instruction to start walking is given, it proceeds to the operation data acquisition step S1005, and raw data (operation data) from the acceleration sensor is acquired, for example, every 100 ms for, for example, 10 seconds. The acquired operation data from the acceleration sensor is temporarily stored in the storage device of the smartphone 1004. When the acquisition of raw data in the operation data acquisition step S1005 is completed, it proceeds to the first data transmission step S1007, and the user information stored in the storage device of the smartphone 1004 and the operation data stored in the operation data acquisition step S1005 are transmitted to the server 1001.

[0150] When the data transmission in the initial data transmission step S1007 is completed, the process proceeds to the initial reception display step S1009 for care proposals and the like, and waits for data such as care proposals to be sent from the server 1001. In this embodiment, the data sent from the server includes the user ID, walking type, and care proposals. When the data is sent, the user ID is stored in the storage device of the smartphone 1004. Then, in the care proposal reception display step S1009, the walking type, the corresponding precautions, and the sent care proposals are displayed on the screen. Finally, the initial reception display step S1009 sets the date of the next repeated module startup in the schedule module and ends, transitioning to the standby state. The schedule module is a so-called scheduler that activates various modules according to predetermined dates and times. In this embodiment, the startup of the repeated module is set to be one week later in principle.

[0151] When the repeated module is activated by the schedule module, first, it is questioned on the screen whether the care initially proposed to the user has been implemented, and waits for the user's answer.

[0152] If the user inputs that it has not been implemented, the smartphone queries the user DB for the walking type of the user notified to the user and the care proposals notified to the user, displays the walking type, the corresponding precautions, and the sent care proposals on the screen, and in addition, displays a sentence prompting the execution of the care proposal, sets the next startup date of the repeated module in the scheduler, and ends.

[0153] If the input is that it has been implemented, remeasurement and another health care proposal are made. The operation for remeasurement in the repeated module is the same as that in the terminal initial module, so the description is omitted.

[0154] When the acquisition of operation data in the operation data acquisition step is completed, the process proceeds to the re - data transmission step, and the user ID stored in the storage device of the smartphone 104 and the operation data stored in the data acquisition step are sent to the server 1001.

[0155] When the data transmission is completed, wait for the server 1001 to send data such as care proposals. Here, the data sent from the server is the walking type determined from the data sent this time and the care proposal. Then, when the data is sent, display the walking type, the corresponding precautions, and the sent care proposal on the screen. Finally, set the date of the next repeated module activation in the schedule module and end, and transition to the standby state.

[0156] Next, the operations of the server-side distribution module, new registration module, and re-proposal module will be described.

[0157] When the server receives an operation request from the smartphone 1004, the server first executes the distribution module and determines whether the operation request is from a registered user. Depending on whether the operation request includes a user ID, if it does not, it transfers to the new registration module, and if it does, it transfers to the re-proposal module.

[0158] The new registration module assigns a user ID to the new user received from the smartphone 1004, and newly registers various information about the new user in the user DB. Furthermore, it acquires the sensor information at the first predetermined operation, analyzes the acquired sensor information to determine the operation type, and selects and determines a care proposal using the determined operation type (predetermined operation information). It returns the assigned user ID and the first care proposal to the smartphone 1004.

[0159] The re - measurement module acquires the user ID and the sensor information obtained by the user performing a predetermined operation again for measurement, analyzes the acquired sensor information to determine the current walking type in the re - operation information acquisition step S1101, reads the necessary information such as the previous type of the user from the user DB in the user DB reading step S1103, selects and determines a care proposal using the previous walking type read in the user DB reading step S1103 and the current walking type determined in the re - operation information acquisition step S1101 in the care proposal re - selection step S1105, returns the current walking type determined in the re - operation information acquisition step S1101 and the care proposal determined in the care proposal re - selection step S1105 to the smartphone 1004 in the notification step S1107, and the server 1001 executes the re - operation information etc. storage step S1109 of overwriting and registering the result information consisting of the re - operation information, date, and selected care proposal in the user DB.

[0160] In this embodiment, the first - time operation information acquisition step and the re - operation information acquisition step are executed by the same operation information acquisition module, and the first - time care proposal selection step and the care proposal re - selection step are executed by the same care proposal selection module, respectively. Hereinafter, the details of these modules will be described.

[0161] The operation information acquisition module extracts acceleration data corresponding to at least two steps or more, preferably four steps or more, from the operation data, that is, the acceleration data measured by the user with the smartphone 1004 in front of the abdomen, precisely the data series of time - to - acceleration. Note that, as the extraction method, a well - known method can be used, for example, taking the extreme value of the acceleration data as one step from the extreme value.

[0162] In this embodiment, from the extracted acceleration data, the degree of symmetry representing the left and right postures and the degree of movement are obtained as feature quantities, and each is classified into three levels of A, B, and C. Specifically, for symmetry, that is, when the difference between the maximum values of the left and right accelerations indicating the left and right balance is less than 5% of the maximum value on the larger side (either left or right) and there is no problem, it is classified as A; when it is 5% or more and 15% or less and the balance is slightly disrupted, it is classified as B; when it exceeds 15% and the balance is greatly disrupted, it is classified as C. Also, for the degree of movement, in this embodiment, the walking speed, which typically indicates the magnitude of movement, is used. Specifically, when it exceeds 4 km / h, it is classified as A; when it is 4 km / h or less and 3.6 km / h or more, it is classified as B; when it is less than 3.6 km / h, it is classified as C.

[0163] In this way, after classifying the posture and movement into three levels of A, B, and C respectively, subsequently, the walking motion type is classified into seven types from 1 to 7 as follows. Posture A, Movement A; Type "1" Posture A, Movement B; Type "2" Posture A, Movement C; Type "2" Posture B, Movement A; Type "3" Posture B, Movement B; Type "4" Posture B, Movement C; Type "6" Posture C, Movement A; Type "3" Posture C, Movement B; Type "5" Posture C, Movement C; Type "7"

[0164] In the care proposal selection module, using the walking type classified this time by the motion information acquisition module and the previous walking type stored in the user DB, a care proposal to be proposed is selected from a care proposal candidate table (not shown). "Stretch" in the table refers to exercise, and "insole" refers to a product. Insoles are classified as follows according to the arch height and heel height. Low arch, high heel; Insole 1 High arch, high heel; Insole 2 High arch, low heel; Insole 3 Since there is no previous walking type stored in the user DB for the first time, select from the range where the previous one is "-"; no data.

[0165] In this embodiment, only exercise, i.e., stretching, is proposed for the first time, and no insole, which is a care product, is proposed. This is because if a care product is proposed from the beginning, the purchase of the care product may become an obstacle, and there is a possibility that the user will not continue health care.

[0166] After the second time, both exercise and product, i.e., both stretching and insole, are selected as care proposals. More specifically, stretching suitable for the previous type and an insole suitable for the current type are selected. That is, while preventing a return to bad movements with the stretching suitable for the previous type, the aim is to improve walking with the insole suitable for the current type.

[0167] As can be understood from the above description, the stretching and insoles proposed for improvement differ for each type. Specifically, it is as follows. Note that since Type 1 has good walking, there is no proposal for improvement. Type 2; Stretch 1 / Insole 3 Type 3; Stretch 1 / Insole 3 Type 4; Stretch 2 / Insole 1 Type 5; Stretch 2 / Insole 2 Type 6; Stretch 2 / Insole 1 Type 7; Stretch 3 / Insole 3
