Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the conventional technology, the achievements of the housework performed are presented as the achievement rate of the housework tasks. However, since such an index is not often encountered in the daily life of users, even when users look at the above-mentioned index, it may be difficult to grasp the achievements of the housework. Therefore, even when comparing the achievements of both parties' housework with such an index in a pair such as a couple, it may be difficult to grasp how much difference there is in the achievements of the housework.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of these points, and an object thereof is to make it easy to grasp how much difference there is in the achievements of housework in a pair.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The information processing apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a first reception unit that receives input of information regarding a first user and a second user who are a pair that shares housework, the content of the housework performed by the pair, and a first desired work unit price that is the work unit price of the housework desired by the first user; a determination unit that determines the first desired work unit price as an applicable work unit price that is the work unit price of the housework applied to the pair when the second user agrees to the first desired work unit price; a second reception unit that receives input of performance information indicating the performance of the housework performed from each of the first user and the second user; a calculation unit that calculates, for each user included in the pair, a performance amount indicating the economic value of the performance of the housework performed by the user based on the performance information input by the second reception unit from the user and the applicable work unit price; and an output unit that outputs the performance amounts of the first user and the second user calculated by the calculation unit.

[0007] The first reception unit may further receive input of a second desired work unit price that is the work unit price of the housework desired by the second user, and the determination unit may further determine the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price as the applicable work unit price when the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price match and the first user agrees to the second desired work unit price.

[0008] When the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price do not match, the determination unit may determine, as the applicable work unit price, the one closer to the statistical value of other applicable work unit prices that are the work unit prices of the housework applied to each of a plurality of other pairs different from the pair, among the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price.

[0009] When the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price do not match, the determination unit may determine, as the applicable work unit price, another applicable work unit price that is the work unit price of the housework applied to another pair different from the pair.

[0010] The information processing apparatus may further include a storage unit that stores information indicating the attributes of the user or information indicating the attributes of the pair. The first reception unit may receive, as information regarding the first user and the second user, an input of at least one of the attributes of at least one of the first user and the second user or the attributes of the pair. The information processing apparatus may further include a selection unit that selects at least one of the other pairs based on the relationship between at least one of the attributes of the first user and the second user and at least one of the attributes of each of the plurality of other users included in the other pairs, or the relationship between the attributes of the pair and the attributes of the other pairs. The output unit may present the other applicable work unit price corresponding to the other pair selected by the selection unit to the first user and the second user.

[0011] The information processing apparatus may further include a recording unit that associates and records, in the storage unit, the information regarding the first user and the second user received by the first reception unit, the applicable work unit price determined by the determination unit, and the performance information received by the second reception unit.

[0012] The first reception unit may receive an input of the content of the housework performed by the pair and the first desired work unit price corresponding to the housework for each housework performed by the pair. The determination unit may determine the applicable work unit price corresponding to the housework when the second user agrees to the first desired work unit price corresponding to the housework for each housework performed by the pair. The second reception unit may receive an input of the performance information corresponding to the housework for each housework performed by the pair. The calculation unit may further calculate a housework-specific amount based on the performance information corresponding to the housework and the applicable work unit price corresponding to the housework for each housework performed by the pair, and calculate the total amount of the housework-specific amounts corresponding to the first user and the total amount of the housework-specific amounts corresponding to the second user as the respective performance amounts of the first user and the second user.

[0013] The first reception unit may further receive an input of a second desired work unit price, which is the work unit price of housework desired by the second user. The determination unit may determine, when the second user agrees to the first desired work unit price, the first desired work unit price as a first applicable work unit price, which is the applicable work unit price applied to the first user. When the first user agrees to the second desired work unit price, the determination unit may determine the second desired work unit price as a second applicable work unit price, which is the applicable work unit price applied to the second user. The calculation unit may calculate the achievement amount corresponding to the first user based on the achievement information received by the second reception unit from the first user and the first applicable work unit price, and may calculate the achievement amount corresponding to the second user based on the achievement information received by the second reception unit from the second user and the second applicable work unit price.

[0014] The first reception unit may further receive an input of information indicating a selection method selected from an hourly wage method and a fixed wage method as a calculation method for calculating the achievement amount corresponding to housework. When the selection method is the hourly wage method, the second reception unit may receive an input of the work time of housework as the achievement information. When the selection method is the fixed wage method, the second reception unit may receive an input of information indicating that housework has been performed as the achievement information. When the selection method is the hourly wage method, the calculation unit may calculate the achievement amount by multiplying the work time by the applicable work unit price. When the selection method is the fixed wage method, the calculation unit may calculate the applicable work unit price as the achievement amount.

[0015] When the achievement information input by one of the first user and the second user is approved by the other of the first user and the second user, the calculation unit may calculate the achievement amount using the achievement information.

[0016] When the achievement amount corresponding to one of the first user and the second user is greater than the achievement amount corresponding to the other user of the first user and the second user, the information processing apparatus may further include a privilege granting unit that grants a privilege based on the difference between the achievement amount corresponding to the one user and the achievement amount corresponding to the other user to the one user.

[0017] The first reception unit may receive an input of information indicating the account of the first user and information indicating the account of the second user as information regarding the first user and the second user, and the privilege granting unit may execute a process of transferring an amount based on the difference from the account of the other user to the account of the one user.

[0018] The first reception unit may further receive an input of a subtraction amount for subtracting the achievement amount when an action that imposes a burden on housework is performed, and the second reception unit may further receive an input of burden action information indicating that an action that imposes a burden on housework performed by one of the first user and the second user was performed by the other user of the first user and the second user from one of the first user and the second user. When the second reception unit receives the burden action information, the calculation unit may correct the achievement amount by subtracting the subtraction amount from the achievement amount corresponding to the other user.

[0019] The information processing method according to the second aspect of the present invention includes steps of: receiving input of information regarding a first user and a second user who are a pair sharing housework, the content of the housework performed by the pair, and a first desired work unit price which is the work unit price of the housework desired by the first user; determining, when the second user agrees to the first desired work unit price, the first desired work unit price as an applicable work unit price which is the work unit price of the housework applicable to the pair; receiving input of performance information indicating the performance of the housework from each of the first user and the second user; calculating, for each user included in the pair, a performance amount indicating the economic value of the performance of the housework performed by the user based on the performance information input from the user and the applicable work unit price; and outputting the calculated performance amounts of the first user and the second user respectively.

[0020] The program according to the third aspect of the present invention causes a computer to function as a first reception unit that receives input of information regarding a first user and a second user who are a pair sharing housework, the content of the housework performed by the pair, and a first desired work unit price which is the work unit price of the housework desired by the first user; a determination unit that determines, when the second user agrees to the first desired work unit price, the first desired work unit price as an applicable work unit price which is the work unit price of the housework applicable to the pair; a second reception unit that receives input of performance information indicating the performance of the housework from each of the first user and the second user; a calculation unit that calculates, for each user included in the pair, a performance amount indicating the economic value of the performance of the housework performed by the user based on the performance information input from the user and the applicable work unit price; and an output unit that outputs the performance amounts of the first user and the second user respectively calculated by the calculation unit.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0023] [Outline of Information Processing System S] FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the information processing system S. The information processing system S is a system used for providing an information processing service. The information processing service is a service for managing the achievements of housework performed by the first user and the second user. The first user and the second user are a pair who share the housework, for example, a husband and wife. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the user U1 is the first user, for example, either of the users in the husband and wife, and the user U2 is the second user, for example, a user different from the first user in the husband and wife. In this specification, the first user and the second user may sometimes be simply referred to as users. The information processing system S includes user terminals 1 (user terminals 1a and 1b in FIG. 1) and an information processing apparatus 2.

[0024] The user terminal 1 is a terminal used by the user, such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a personal computer. For example, a dedicated application program (hereinafter referred to as "dedicated app") for providing an information processing service to the user is installed on the user terminal 1. The user can use the information processing service by using the dedicated app. Note that the information processing service is not limited to the dedicated app and may be provided on a web page.

[0025] The information processing device 2 is a device that manages the information processing service, such as a server. In the information processing service, the achievements of the housework performed by the user are converted into economic value and presented. Hereinafter, the processing of the information processing system S that converts the achievements of the housework performed by the user into economic value and presents them will be described.

[0026] First, when the user U1 performs an operation to start the dedicated app on the user terminal 1a, the user terminal 1a displays the display screen of the dedicated app. A plurality of input items for inputting information for starting the use of the information processing service are provided on the display screen of the dedicated app. The input items include items for inputting information about the user U1 and the user U2, items for inputting the content of the housework shared by the user U1 and the user U2, and an item for inputting the first desired work unit price.

[0027] The information about the user U1 and the user U2 includes, for example, information indicating the user U1 (such as the ID, nickname, name, etc. of the user U1), information indicating the user U2, and at least one of the attributes of the first user and the second user (such as age, occupation, annual income, etc.) or the attributes of the pair of the first user and the second user (such as household annual income, etc.). The first desired work unit price is the work unit price of the housework desired by the first user.

[0028] When user U1 performs an operation of inputting information into each of a plurality of input items provided on the display screen of the dedicated application, user terminal 1a transmits the information input by user U1 to information processing device 2 as usage information ((1) in FIG. 1). When information processing device 2 acquires the usage information, it temporarily registers it by recording the usage information ((2) in FIG. 1). Note that information processing device 2 may acquire a part of the usage information (for example, information indicating user U2, etc.) from user terminal 1b.

[0029] When user U2 who has agreed to the first desired work unit price performs an operation indicating agreement to the first desired work unit price on the display screen of the dedicated application displayed on user terminal 1b, user terminal 1b transmits agreement information indicating that user U2 has agreed to the first desired work unit price to information processing device 2 ((3) in FIG. 1). When information processing device 2 acquires the agreement information, it registers it finally by determining the first desired work unit price agreed by user U2 as the applicable work unit price, which is the work unit price for the housework applicable to the pair of user U1 and user U2 ((4) in FIG. 1). Information processing device 2 starts providing information processing services for the pair of user U1 and user U2 that has been registered finally.

[0030] When the user who has performed housework inputs the results of the housework performed on the display screen of the dedicated application of their own user terminal 1, user terminal 1 transmits result information indicating the results of the housework input by the user to information processing device 2 ((5) in FIG. 1). Information processing device 2 calculates, for each user included in the pair, a result amount indicating the economic value of the results of the housework performed by the user based on the work period during which the user has performed housework indicated by the acquired result information and the applicable work unit price applied to the pair including the user ((6) in FIG. 1). Then, information processing device 2 causes user terminal 1 (for example, user terminal 1a) to display the result amounts of user U1 and user U2 respectively by transmitting amount information indicating the result amounts of user U1 and user U2 respectively to user terminal 1 ((7) in FIG. 1).

[0031] In this way, by converting the achievements of housework performed by the user into economic value, which is an indicator that the user often encounters in daily life, and presenting it, the information processing system S can make it easier for the user to grasp the achievements of the housework performed. As a result, the information processing system S can easily grasp how much difference there is in the achievements of housework between the pair of the first user and the second user. Hereinafter, the configuration of the information processing apparatus 2 will be described.

[0032] [Configuration of Information Processing Apparatus 2] FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing the functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 2. The information processing apparatus 2 includes a communication unit 21, a storage unit 22, and a control unit 23. In FIG. 2, the arrows indicate the main data flows, and there may be data flows not shown in FIG. 2. In FIG. 2, each functional block shows a configuration in terms of function units, not in terms of hardware (device) units. Therefore, the functional blocks shown in FIG. 2 may be implemented in a single device, or may be divided and implemented in a plurality of devices. The exchange of data between the functional blocks may be performed via any means such as a data bus, a network, a portable storage medium, etc.

[0033] The communication unit 21 is a communication interface for connecting to a network and has a communication controller for receiving data from an external terminal and an external server.

[0034] The storage unit 22 is a large-capacity storage device such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) that stores the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) of a computer that realizes the information processing apparatus 2, a RAM (Random Access Memory) that serves as a work area of the information processing apparatus 2, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or an SSD (Solid State Drive) that stores an OS (Operating System), application programs, and various information referred to during the execution of the application programs. The storage unit 22 stores, for example, a pair management database that manages information about pairs, a housework management database that manages information about housework performed by the pairs, and a performance management database that manages the performance of housework.

[0035] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the pair management database. The pair management database shown in FIG. 3 stores by associating pair information (pair ID, user ID, user name, attributes, user account number, etc.), unit price information (working unit price, and agreement status), and a subtraction amount. The attributes included in the pair information are at least any one of the user attributes and the pair attributes. The agreement status is a status indicating whether the second user agrees to the first desired working unit price, which is the working unit price stored in the pair management database. The subtraction amount is the amount by which the performance amount is subtracted as a penalty when an action that imposes a burden on housework is performed.

[0036] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the housework management database. The housework management database shown in FIG. 4 stores by associating a pair ID and housework information (housework ID, type of housework, assumed working period, calculation method, etc.). The assumed working period is the assumed working period of the housework. The calculation method is a method for calculating the performance amount for housework, and includes, for example, an hourly rate method in which the performance amount is calculated by multiplying the working period of the housework by the working unit price, and a fixed rate method in which the working unit price is calculated as the performance amount regardless of the working period of the housework.

[0037] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the performance management database. The performance management database shown in FIG. 5 stores by associating a user ID with performance information (housework ID and working date). The working date indicates the date on which the housework was performed. Note that the performance management database may further store by associating the working period of the housework actually performed by the user.

[0038] Returning to FIG. 2, the control unit 23 is a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) of the information processing apparatus 2, and by executing the program stored in the storage unit 22, functions as a first reception unit 231, a recording unit 232, a determination unit 233, a selection unit 234, an output unit 235, a second reception unit 236, a calculation unit 237, and a privilege granting unit 238. Hereinafter, the functions of the control unit 23 will be described separately before and after the start of providing the information processing service.

[0039] (Before the start of providing the information processing service) First, the functions of the control unit 23 executed before the start of providing the information processing service will be described. The first reception unit 231 receives the input of information for the first user and the second user, who are a pair that shares the performance of housework, to start using the information processing service. Specifically, the first reception unit 231 acquires the usage information input by the user on the display screen of the dedicated application displayed on the user terminal 1.

[0040] The first reception unit 231 receives the input of usage information including information about the first user and the second user, housework information indicating the content of the housework performed by the first user and the second user as a pair, and a first desired work unit price that is the work unit price of the housework desired by the first user, as information for starting the use of the information processing service.

[0041] Information regarding the first user and the second user includes the user IDs of the first user and the second user respectively, the names of the first user and the second user respectively, and the like. Information regarding the first user and the second user may further include the attributes of the first user and the second user respectively, and information indicating the accounts of the first user and the second user respectively (for example, bank account numbers), and the like.

[0042] In addition, the household information includes the types of household chores. The types of household chores may be types created by the user, or may be types selected by the user from among a plurality of predetermined types of household chores. The household information may further include the days of the week on which the household chores are to be performed, and the like. The household information may further include information indicating an assumed working period, which is the period of work assumed for performing the household chore, a selection method selected from among an hourly wage method and a fixed wage method as a calculation method for calculating the actual amount corresponding to the household chore, and a subtraction amount for subtracting the actual amount when an action that imposes a burden on the household chore is performed, and the like.

[0043] The first reception unit 231 acquires, for example, usage information from at least the user terminal 1 of the first user among the user terminal 1 of the first user and the user terminal 1 of the second user. The recording unit 232 stores the usage information acquired by the first reception unit 231 in the storage unit 22.

[0044] When the second user agrees to the first desired work unit price, the determination unit 233 determines the first desired work unit price as an applicable work unit price, which is the work unit price of the household chore to be applied to the pair of the first user and the second user. Specifically, first, the first reception unit 231 acquires second agreement information indicating that the second user has agreed to the first desired work unit price from the user terminal 1 of the second user. Then, when the first reception unit 231 acquires the second agreement information, the determination unit 233 determines the first desired work unit price as the applicable work unit price for the pair of the first user and the second user.

[0045] When the determination unit 233 determines the applicable work unit price, the recording unit 232 records the applicable work unit price in the pair management database in association with the information regarding the first user and the second user received by the first reception unit 231. For example, the recording unit 232 stores the applicable work unit price determined by the determination unit 233 in the pair management database in association with the pair ID corresponding to the pair of the first user and the second user.

[0046] FIGS. 6 and 7 are diagrams schematically showing the display screens of the dedicated application. The display screen of the dedicated application shown in FIG. 6(a) is a user registration screen for registering information regarding the user. For example, first, when the user performs an operation to start the dedicated application on the user terminal 1, the user terminal 1 displays the user registration screen. When the user inputs information into each of a plurality of input items provided on the user registration screen and performs an operation of pressing the button B1, the user terminal 1 transmits the information input by the user to the information processing apparatus 2. When the first reception unit 231 acquires the information regarding the user, the recording unit 232 stores the information regarding the user in the pair management database.

[0047] The display screen of the dedicated application shown in FIG. 6(b) is a pairing screen for pairing the first user and the second user. When either one of the first user and the second user (hereinafter referred to as "one user") inputs information (for example, the user ID of the other user, the name of the other user, etc.) for identifying another user (hereinafter referred to as "the other user") different from the one user among the first user and the second user on the pairing screen and performs an operation of pressing the button B2, the user terminal 1 of the one user transmits the user identification information input by the one user to the information processing apparatus 2.

[0048] The recording unit 232 further functions as an issuing unit that issues an ID. When the first reception unit 231 acquires user identification information, it issues a pair ID corresponding to the pair of the first user and the second user. Then, the recording unit 232 stores the issued pair ID in the pair management database in association with the user ID of one user and the user ID of the other user specified by the user identification information, thereby pairing the first user and the second user.

[0049] The display screen of the dedicated application shown in FIG. 6(c) is a household chore registration screen for registering household chore information. When at least one user selects the type of household chore to be performed by the pair of the first user and the second user on the household chore registration screen, inputs the assumed working period of the household chore (the assumed period in FIG. 6(c)), and performs an operation of pressing the button B3, the user terminal 1 of one user transmits the household chore information, which is the information input by the user, to the information processing apparatus 2. When the first reception unit 231 acquires the household chore information, the recording unit 232 stores the pair ID corresponding to the pair of the first user and the second user and the household chore information acquired by the first reception unit 231 in the household chore management database in association with each other.

[0050] The display screen of the dedicated application shown in FIG. 7(a) is a unit price setting screen for setting the unit price of work desired by the user. When the first user inputs the unit price of work desired by the first user on the unit price setting screen and performs an operation of pressing the button B4, the user terminal 1 of the first user transmits information indicating the first desired work unit price to the information processing apparatus 2.

[0051] When the first reception unit 231 acquires information indicating the first desired work unit price from the user terminal 1 of the first user, the output unit 235 transmits the information indicating the first desired work unit price to the user terminal 1 of the second user who is paired with the first user. Further, the recording unit 232 stores the first desired work unit price acquired by the first reception unit 231 in the pair management database in association with the pair ID of the pair including the first user. In this case, the recording unit 232 stores a status (for example, non-agreement, etc.) indicating that the second user has not agreed to the first desired work unit price in the pair management database. When the user terminal 1 of the second user acquires the information indicating the first desired work unit price, it displays the display screen of the dedicated application shown in FIG. 7(b).

[0052] The display screen of the dedicated application shown in FIG. 7(b) is a consent setting screen for setting whether the other user agrees to the work unit price desired by one user. When the second user performs an operation of pressing the button B5 agreeing to the displayed first desired work unit price on the consent setting screen, the user terminal 1 of the second user transmits second consent information indicating that the second user has agreed to the first desired work unit price to the information processing apparatus 2.

[0053] When the first reception unit 231 receives the second consent information, the determination unit 233 determines the first desired work unit price as the applicable work unit price. For example, when the determination unit 233 determines the applicable work unit price, the recording unit 232 changes the consent status in the pair management database to a status (for example, agreed, etc.) indicating that the second user has agreed to the first desired work unit price.

[0054] On the other hand, when the second user presses the button B6 without agreeing to the displayed first desired work unit price on the consent setting screen, the user terminal 1 of the second user transmits non-consent information indicating that the second user has not agreed to the first desired work unit price to the information processing apparatus 2. When the first reception unit 231 receives the non-consent information, the output unit 235 transmits a message indicating that the second user has not agreed to the first desired work unit price to the user terminal 1 of the first user. In this case, the first user re-enters the desired work unit price on the unit price setting screen.

[0055] The information processing apparatus 2 may determine an applicable work unit price based on the desired work unit prices desired by the first user and the second user respectively. Specifically, first, the first reception unit 231 further receives, from the user terminal 1 of the second user, an input of a second desired work unit price, which is the work unit price of housework desired by the second user.

[0056] The first reception unit 231 receives, from the user terminal 1 of the first user, first agreement information indicating that the first user has agreed to the second desired work unit price. Then, when the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price match, and the second user agrees to the first desired work unit price, and the first user agrees to the second desired work unit price, the determination unit 233 determines the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price as the applicable work unit price. By doing so, the information processing apparatus 2 can prompt the first user and the second user to make an adjustment to make the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price the same unit price.

[0057] Even if the first user and the second user adjust the unit price, there may be a case where the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price do not become the same unit price. Therefore, when the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price do not match, the information processing apparatus 2 may control the adjustment of the work unit price between the first user and the second user.

[0058] For example, when the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price do not match, the determination unit 233 refers to other applicable work unit prices, which are the work unit prices of housework applied to other pairs different from the pair of the first user and the second user, to determine the applicable work unit price. Specifically, when the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price do not match, the determination unit 233 determines, as the applicable work unit price, the one closer to the statistical value (for example, average value, mode value, median value, etc.) of other applicable work unit prices, which are the work unit prices of housework applied to a plurality of other pairs different from the pair of the first user and the second user, among the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price.

[0059] More specifically, first, when the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price do not match, the determination unit 233 selects a desired work unit price (for example, the first desired work unit price) that is close to the statistical value of other applicable work unit prices from among the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price. The output unit 235 presents the first desired work unit price selected by the determination unit 233 and a message indicating that the first desired work unit price is closer to the statistical value of other applicable work unit prices to the first user and the second user. Then, when the second user agrees to the first desired work unit price, the determination unit 233 determines the first desired work unit price as the applicable work unit price to be applied to the pair of the first user and the second user for housework.

[0060] By doing so, the information processing apparatus 2 can facilitate the adjustment of the work unit price between the first user and the second user. Note that when the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price do not match, the determination unit 233 may determine, regardless of whether the first user or the second user agrees to both work unit prices, the one that is closer to the statistical value of other applicable work unit prices among the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price as the applicable work unit price.

[0061] When the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price do not match, the determination unit 233 may determine another applicable work unit price, which is the work unit price for housework applied to another pair, as the applicable work unit price. Specifically, the information processing apparatus 2 determines another applicable work unit price as the applicable work unit price for the pair of the first user and the second user by executing the following two steps.

[0062] As a first step, the selection unit 234 selects at least one other pair from among a plurality of other pairs based on the attribute relationship between the pair of the first user and the second user and the other pairs. The attribute relationship between the pair of the first user and the second user and the other pairs is, for example, the relationship between at least any one of the attributes of the first user and the second user and at least any one of the attributes of a plurality of other users included in the other pair, or the relationship between the attribute of the pair of the first user and the second user and the attribute of the other pair.

[0063] The selection unit 234 selects, from among a plurality of other pairs, other pairs of a plurality of other users each having an attribute that matches the attributes of the first user and the second user, as, for example, the relationship between at least any one of the attributes of the first user and the second user and at least any one of the attributes of each of the plurality of other users included in other pairs. Further, the selection unit 234 selects, from among a plurality of other pairs, other pairs having an attribute that matches the attribute of the pair of the first user and the second user, as, for example, the relationship between the attribute of the pair of the first user and the second user and the attributes of other pairs.

[0064] As a second step, the determination unit 233 determines the applicable work unit price of the selected other pair as the applicable work unit price of the pair of the first user and the second user. Specifically, first, the output unit 235 presents the first user and the second user with the other applicable work unit price corresponding to the other pair selected by the selection unit 234 and a message indicating that the other applicable work unit price is the work unit price applied to the other pair having an attribute similar to the attributes of the pair of the first user and the second user. Then, when each of the first user and the second user agrees to the other applicable work unit price, the determination unit 233 determines the other applicable work unit price as the applicable work unit price of the pair of the first user and the second user.

[0065] By doing so, the information processing apparatus 2 can facilitate the adjustment of the work unit price between the first user and the second user. Note that when the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price do not match, the determination unit 233 may determine the other applicable work unit price as the applicable work unit price of the pair of the first user and the second user regardless of whether the first user and the second user agree to the other applicable work unit price.

[0066] In the above, an example in which the information processing apparatus 2 determines the applicable work unit price common to each household chore has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the information processing apparatus 2 may determine the applicable work unit price for each household chore performed by a pair.

[0067] Specifically, first, the first reception unit 231 receives the input of the content of the housework to be done in pairs, the first desired work unit price corresponding to the housework, and the second desired work unit price corresponding to the housework. Then, the determination unit 233 determines the applicable work unit price corresponding to the housework when the first desired work unit price and the second desired work unit price corresponding to the housework match, and the second user agrees to the first desired work unit price corresponding to the housework, and the first user agrees to the second desired work unit price corresponding to the housework. By doing so, the information processing apparatus 2 can set work unit prices according to different work burdens for each housework.

[0068] In the above, an example in which the information processing apparatus 2 determines an applicable work unit price common to the first user and the second user has been described, but it is not limited to this. For example, the information processing apparatus 2 may determine different applicable work unit prices for each of the first user and the second user.

[0069] Specifically, when the second user agrees to the first desired work unit price, the determination unit 233 determines the first desired work unit price as the first applicable work unit price, which is the applicable work unit price applied to the first user. Also, when the first user agrees to the second desired work unit price, the determination unit 233 determines the second desired work unit price as the second applicable work unit price, which is the applicable work unit price applied to the second user.

[0070] When the second user agrees to the first desired work unit price and the first user agrees to the second desired work unit price, the determination unit 233 may determine the first applicable work unit price and the second applicable work unit price. Or when one user agrees to the desired work unit price of the other user, regardless of whether the other user agrees to the desired work unit price of the one user, the determination unit 233 may determine the applicable work unit price of the other user. By doing so, the information processing apparatus 2 can set work unit prices for each user whose value of the period spent on housework may be different.

[0071] (After the start of providing the information processing service) Next, the functions of the control unit 23 executed after the start of providing the information processing service will be described. The information processing apparatus 2 records the achievements of the housework performed by the user. Specifically, the information processing apparatus 2 records the achievements of the housework performed by the user by executing the following two steps.

[0072] As a first step, the second reception unit 236 receives an input of achievement information indicating the achievements of the housework from the user. The achievement information includes, for example, the user ID of the user who performed the housework and the housework ID of the housework performed by the user.

[0073] FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically showing the display screen of the dedicated application. The display screen of the dedicated application shown in FIG. 8 is an achievement management screen for managing the achievements of housework. A list of housework set as the housework shared by the pair of the first user and the second user before the start of providing the information processing service is displayed on the achievement management screen.

[0074] For example, when the first user performs an operation to start the dedicated application on his / her user terminal 1, the user terminal 1 displays the achievement management screen. For example, when the first user presses the button B7 corresponding to washing as the housework performed on the achievement management screen displayed on the user terminal 1, the user terminal 1 transmits achievement information indicating that the first user has performed washing, specifically, achievement information including the user ID of the first user and the housework ID corresponding to washing, to the information processing apparatus 2. Then, the second reception unit 236 acquires the achievement information from the user terminal 1.

[0075] The second reception unit 236 may acquire achievement information further including the working period during which the user performed the housework. For example, the achievement management screen is provided with an input item (not shown) for inputting the working period during which the housework was performed. When the user performs an operation to input the working period in the input item corresponding to the performed housework, the second reception unit 236 acquires achievement information including the user ID of the user, the housework ID of the housework performed by the user, and the working period input in the input item.

[0076] In a second step, the recording unit 232 records the performance information received by the second receiving unit 236 in association with the information about the first user and the second user received by the first receiving unit 231. For example, the recording unit 232 stores the performance information of the first user received by the second receiving unit 236 in the performance management database in association with the user ID of the first user. The recording unit 232 may further associate the performance information with the work date on which the user performed the housework (for example, the date on which the second receiving unit 236 received the performance information) and store the information in the performance management database. In this way, the information processing device 2 can manage the performance of housework performed by the user.

[0077] The information processing device 2 presents the results of housework performed by the user. Specifically, the information processing device 2 presents the results of housework performed by the user by performing the following two steps.

[0078] As a first step, the calculation unit 237 calculates, for each user included in the pair, an amount of performance that indicates the economic value of the performance of housework performed by the user, based on the performance information input from the user and the applicable task unit price by the second reception unit 236. The calculation unit 237 calculates the amount of performance, for example, when the user requests presentation of the amount of performance.

[0079] For example, first, the second reception unit 236 acquires a presentation request for requesting the presentation of the actual amount from the user terminal 1 of the first user. The presentation request includes the user ID of the first user. Then, when the second reception unit 236 acquires the presentation request, the calculation unit 237 multiplies, for each user included in the pair specified by the user ID of the first user, the total period obtained by summing up the working periods of the housework performed by the user and the applicable work unit price of the pair, and calculates the amount as the actual amount. The working period of the housework performed by the user is the assumed working period stored in the housework management database in association with the housework ID stored in the performance management database in association with the user ID of the user, or the working period (the working period input by the user) stored in the performance management database in association with the user ID and housework ID of the user. Note that the calculation unit 237 may calculate the actual amount of the user who input the actual information when the second reception unit 236 receives the input of the actual information as an opportunity.

[0080] The calculation unit 237 may calculate the actual amount based on various calculation conditions set as conditions for the user to calculate the actual amount. For example, the calculation unit 237 calculates the actual amount according to whether the actual information input by one user is approved by the other user as a calculation condition. Specifically, the calculation unit 237 calculates the actual amount using the actual information when the actual information input by one user is approved by the other user.

[0081] For example, first, the output unit 235 presents the actual information received by the second reception unit 236 from one user to the other user. The second reception unit 236 receives approval information indicating that the other user approves the actual performance of the housework performed by one user indicated by the actual information of one user. The recording unit 232 stores the approval information of the other user in the performance management database in association with the actual information of one user. Then, when calculating the actual amount of one user, the calculation unit 237 calculates the actual amount of one user based on the actual information stored in the performance management database in association with the user ID of the one user and the approval information of the other user.

[0082] Even if one user recognizes that the housework has been completed, there may be cases where the housework has not been completed, such as there are un-cleaned areas or un-washed clothes. However, by calculating the performance amount of one user using the performance information approved by the other user, the information processing apparatus 2 can reduce the occurrence of a situation where the performance amount is calculated using the performance information of the housework that has not been completed.

[0083] As a calculation condition, the information processing apparatus 2 may impose a penalty on the other user who has taken an action that burdens the housework of one user. Specifically, first, the second reception unit 236 further receives an input of burden action information indicating that the other user has taken an action that burdens the housework performed by one user from the one user. Then, when the second reception unit 236 receives the burden action information, the calculation unit 237 corrects the performance amount by subtracting the performance amount of the other user by the subtraction amount.

[0084] For example, the recording unit 232 stores the burden action information received by the second reception unit 236 in the storage unit 22 in association with the ID of the other user. In this case, when calculating the performance amount of the other user, the calculation unit 237 calculates the performance amount of the other user based on the performance information of the other user, and multiplies the number of burden action information stored in the storage unit 22 in association with the user ID of the other user by the subtraction amount stored in the pair management database in association with the user ID of the other user, and subtracts the calculated multiplication subtraction amount from the calculated performance amount to correct the performance amount.

[0085] In housework, the user's burden may increase depending on the state of the object of the housework. For example, when one user takes out the garbage as housework, if the garbage is discarded in the trash can without being sorted by one user, then when one user takes out the garbage, the garbage must be sorted, and the burden of taking out the garbage for one user increases. However, the information processing apparatus 2 can make it difficult for other users to perform actions that become a burden on the housework performed by one user by imposing a penalty on the other user who has taken such an action.

[0086] For example, when an applicable work unit price is set for each housework as a calculation condition, the calculation unit 237 may calculate the actual amount based on the applicable work unit price of each housework. Specifically, first, the second reception unit 236 receives the input of the actual information corresponding to the housework for each housework performed in a pair. The calculation unit 237 further calculates the amount for each housework based on the actual information corresponding to the housework and the applicable work unit price corresponding to the housework for each housework performed in a pair.

[0087] Then, the calculation unit 237 calculates the total amount of the amount for each housework corresponding to the first user and the total amount of the amount for each housework corresponding to the second user as the actual amounts of the first user and the second user respectively. By doing so, the information processing apparatus 2 can reflect different burdens according to the housework in the actual amount.

[0088] For example, when an applicable work unit price is set for each user included in a pair as a calculation condition, the calculation unit 237 may calculate the actual amount based on the applicable work unit price of each user as a calculation condition. Specifically, the calculation unit 237 calculates the actual amount corresponding to the first user based on the actual information received by the second reception unit 236 from the first user and the first applicable work unit price. In addition, the calculation unit 237 calculates the actual amount corresponding to the second user based on the actual information received by the second reception unit 236 from the second user and the second applicable work unit price. By doing so, the information processing apparatus 2 can reflect different time values according to the user in the actual amount.

[0089] For example, when a calculation method for the actual amount is set as a calculation condition, the calculation unit 237 may calculate the actual amount based on the calculation method. For example, when the selection method is the hourly wage method, first, the second reception unit 236 receives an input of the working hours of the housework as the actual information. Then, the calculation unit 237 calculates the actual amount by multiplying the working hours by the applicable work unit price.

[0090] Also, for example, when the selection method for a certain housework is the fixed salary method, first, the second reception unit 236 receives an input of information indicating that the housework has been performed as the actual information. Then, the calculation unit 237 calculates the applicable work unit price as the actual amount.

[0091] Also, for example, when a calculation method is set for each housework, the calculation unit 237 calculates the corresponding housework amount for each housework based on the calculation method selected for that housework, and calculates the total amount of the calculated housework amounts as the actual amount. Specifically, the calculation unit 237 calculates the housework amount by multiplying the working period of the housework indicated by the actual information corresponding to the housework whose selection method is the hourly wage method by the applicable work unit price, calculates the applicable work unit price as the housework amount based on the actual information corresponding to the housework whose selection method is the fixed salary, and calculates the total amount of the calculated housework amounts as the actual amount. By doing so, the information processing device 2 can calculate the actual amount according to the calculation method set by the user.

[0092] As a second step, the output unit 235 outputs the actual amounts of the first user and the second user calculated by the calculation unit 237. The output unit 235 causes the user terminal 1 to display the actual amount of the user, for example, by transmitting the amount information indicating the actual amount of the user calculated by the calculation unit 237 to the user terminal 1.

[0093] The output unit 235 may further output information other than the user's actual amount. For example, as information other than the user's actual amount, the output unit 235 outputs the working period of the housework performed by the user (for example, the total period of the working periods of a plurality of housework tasks performed by the user). Further, the output unit 235 may output the number of times of housework performed by the user as information other than the user's actual amount.

[0094] Also, the output unit 235 may output the difference between the actual amount of the first user and the actual amount of the second user as information other than the user's actual amount. For example, when the output unit 235 outputs the difference between the actual amount of the second user and the actual amount of the first user, if the difference is x, the actual amount of the first user is y, and the actual amount of the second user is z, the output unit 235 outputs the difference calculated using the mathematical formula "x = y - z". Further, the output unit 235 may output the difference calculated using the mathematical formula "x = y - (y + z) / 2". Note that the information processing apparatus 2 uses an equal mathematical formula for the pair on the premise that the first user and the second user cooperate in housework and work fairly, but depending on the situation of the pair, a mathematical formula weighted by each user (for example, the actual amount of each user) may be used to calculate the difference.

[0095] FIG. 9 is a diagram schematically showing a display screen of the dedicated application. The display screen of the dedicated application shown in FIG. 9 is a performance display screen for displaying the performance of the housework performed by the user. On the performance display screen shown in FIG. 9, the working period, the number of times of work, the actual amount for each user included in the pair, and the difference between the actual amount of the first user and the actual amount of the second user (for example, the difference calculated using the mathematical formula "x = y - (y + z) / 2") are displayed. By presenting such a performance display screen to the user, the information processing apparatus 2 can easily grasp how much difference there is in the performance of housework in the pair.

[0096] Returning to FIG. 2, the information processing apparatus 2 may grant a privilege to the user with the larger actual achievement amount among the first user and the second user. Specifically, when the actual achievement amount corresponding to one user is larger than the actual achievement amount corresponding to the other user, the privilege granting unit 238 grants a privilege based on the difference between the actual achievement amount corresponding to one user and the actual achievement amount corresponding to the other user to one user.

[0097] For example, as a privilege, the privilege granting unit 238 may grant an amount based on the difference to the one user with the larger actual achievement amount. In this case, the privilege granting unit 238 may execute a process of transferring the amount based on the difference from the account of the other user to the account of the one user. The privilege granting unit 238 executes, for example, a process of comparing the actual achievement amounts and a process of granting privileges at a predetermined timing (for example, a day determined by the user, the end of the month, the beginning of the month, etc.). By doing so, the information processing apparatus 2 can provide incentives for both the first user and the second user to actively perform housework.

[0098] [Processing of Information Processing Apparatus 2] Subsequently, the processing flow of the information processing apparatus 2 will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the processing flow of the information processing apparatus 2. This processing starts when the first reception unit 231 acquires usage information including information about the first user and the second user, housework information indicating the content of the housework performed by the first user and the second user in pairs, and the first desired work unit price from the user terminal 1 (S1).

[0099] The determination unit 233 determines whether the first reception unit 231 has acquired consent information from the user terminal 1 of the second user (S2). When the determination unit 233 determines that the first reception unit 231 has not acquired consent information from the user terminal 1 of the second user (NO in S2), the process returns to S2. On the other hand, when the determination unit 233 determines that the first reception unit 231 has acquired consent information from the user terminal 1 of the second user (YES in S2), the first desired work unit price is determined as the applicable work unit price (S3).

[0100] The second reception unit 236 receives an input of performance information indicating the performance of housework performed by the user from the user terminal 1 (S4). The calculation unit 237 calculates the performance amount of each user included in the pair based on the performance information received by the second reception unit 236 from the user and the applicable work unit price (S5). Then, the output unit 235 outputs information indicating the performance amounts of the first user and the second user calculated by the calculation unit 237 (S6).

[0101] [Effects of the present embodiment] As described above, when the second user agrees to the first desired work unit price, the information processing apparatus 2 determines the first desired work unit price as the applicable work unit price for the pair of the first user and the second user. Then, the information processing apparatus 2 calculates the performance amount of each user included in the pair based on the performance information received from the user and the applicable work unit price of the pair, and outputs the calculated performance amounts of the first user and the second user. In this way, the information processing apparatus 2 can make it easier for the user to grasp the performance of the housework performed by the user by converting the performance of the housework performed by the user into an economic value, which is an index that the user often comes into contact with in daily life, and presenting it. As a result, the information processing apparatus 2 can make it easier to grasp how much difference there is in the performance of housework in the pair of the first user and the second user.
