[0017] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the components described in the following embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention.

[0018] For the sake of convenience, the same symbols in each drawing indicate the same or equivalent parts unless otherwise specified, and elements having similar structures and / or functions are intended, and unnecessary detailed descriptions may be omitted. Furthermore, duplicated explanations will be simplified or omitted as appropriate. In addition, in the present embodiment, the symbol "~" may be used to represent a numerical range, and the numerical values ​​written before and after "~" are included in the numerical range. (Embodiment 1) [Information Processing Systems] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an information processing system 001 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0019] The information processing system 001 is an information processing system capable of various information processing and information transmission / reception, and is a computer. Computers are classified into personal computers (PCs), workstations, server computers (servers), mainframes, supercomputers (supercomputers), ultracomputers, minicomputers (minicoms), office computers (offcon), pocket computers (pocketcomputers), microcomputers (microcoms), personal digital assistants (PDAs), and sequencers (PLCs: programmable logic controllers) according to their intended use, specifications, performance, etc., but all of these can be applied to the information processing system. In addition, a cloud computer connected to the information processing system 001 via a network N such as the Internet can also execute the processing of the information processing system 001. The information processing system 001 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is a personal computer, and will be described below.

[0020] The information processing system 001 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes an awareness information collecting unit 00, an awareness evaluating unit 01, an extracting unit 02, a scientific information providing unit 03, and a teaching information providing unit 04.

[0021] Here, the information processing system according to the present invention has the following unique perspective regarding the provision of scientific information and instructional information, and ensures the originality of the combination of scientific information and instructional information. (1) It has elements that will interest and pique users' interest and encourage specific behavioral changes. Providing personalized information for each user Based on the user's past efforts and behavioral data, information of high interest is presented preferentially. For example: "People in a similar situation to you saw improvement in just 3 weeks!" Next, we provide information with a storyline and create content that includes success stories of other users. Example: "Improved intestinal environment leads to improved sleep quality! Introducing actual data and personal experiences." (2) It implies that the problem will not be completely resolved in order to continue. Use the nudge, "There's still room for improvement." For example: "You're 65% improved. If you keep up with this habit, you can achieve 80%!" An example of a small success story: "If you stick to a specific habit for the next three days, you'll get a reward!" Example of progress visualization: "Check changes in your intestinal flora in real time! How is your progress?" Break down the goal achievement into smaller parts, and clearly indicate that some parts of the goal have been achieved while others have not, making users aware of this and encouraging them to continue using the product and service.

[0022] This method has the property of increasing the accuracy of problem solving and task achievement by breaking down problems and tasks from macro to micro levels, rather than extracting completely new problems or tasks that are completely different from the original. (3) Demonstrate specific methods for improving literacy. A combination of repetition and variation randomly presents scientific and instructional information to prevent users from becoming bored, fatigued, or disengaged. For example: "Available in different formats, such as videos, infographics, and quizzes." Example of gamification: "Continue for a week and get a badge! Enter the rankings of top users!" (4) Strengthening objectivity by showing the gap between consciousness and biometric indicators. Leverage data feedback. For example: "You feel 'good,' but your gut bacteria balance is actually..." Example of providing contrasting information: "Compare the changes in blood sugar levels before and after intake. Check the degree of improvement numerically!" Take advantage of other users' experiences. For example: "This person was in the same situation at first." To gain empathy, we will introduce the changes that people who have had the same problems have experienced. For example: "This is how it changed me!" We will present specific techniques that led to changes in user behavior. (5) Develop short-term and long-term information provision strategies. Short-term means providing immediate feedback to the user. Example: "Your ATP test results are ____. Here are some 5-minute improvements you can make!" Long-term refers to the repetition mechanism that encourages habit formation. For example: "After analyzing three months of data, these actions were key to our success!" (6) How to stimulate KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) Clearly define KOLs and cultivate them from users. For example, select users who have achieved a certain number of consecutive visits as KOLs. Example: "Users who continue for three months will be awarded the title of 'Habit Master'!" We will provide a platform that makes it easy to share success stories and strengthen communication by KOLs. Example: "Provide exclusive information and a forum for KOL users to share their experiences." Incentivize KOLs to increase users' desire to become KOLs. Example: "If your KOL post gets a certain number of likes, you'll receive a special reward!" Next, the awareness information collecting unit 00 collects awareness information of the user. The consciousness evaluation unit 01 analyzes and evaluates the consciousness information collected by the consciousness information collection unit 00 in stages into overall consciousness, partial consciousness, and improvement consciousness.

[0023] Comprehensive awareness refers to the overall awareness a user has of a product and its associated habits, including a broad knowledge and understanding of the product's necessity, how to use it, expected effects, and long-term benefits. For example, in the case of health foods, this refers to a comprehensive understanding of the importance of a healthy intestinal environment and the physical benefits of consuming them over a long period of time.

[0024] Segmented Awareness refers to a state in which a user's awareness is focused on a specific aspect or element of a product, where they are only interested in a portion of the product's effects or usage, and are not paying attention to other information.

[0025] For example, "I know that taking probiotics is good for the intestinal environment, but I don't understand when to take them or how to combine them with meals."

[0026] Improvement Awareness refers to the user's desire to change their situation and take concrete action. This is the motivation that arises from changes in overall or partial awareness, and it refers to the stage at which a conscious effort is made.

[0027] For example, it refers to awareness that leads to behavioral changes such as "deciding to take probiotics every day to improve my diet" or "trying ATP testing to improve the hygiene of my cutting board." The extraction unit 02 extracts and clarifies the user's problems and / or issues from the evaluation results obtained by the awareness evaluation unit 01.

[0028] The Scientific Information Providing Unit 03 provides scientific information that serves as the basis for solving problems and / or achieving tasks. The scientific information is provided as appropriate information based on scientific evidence, depending on the user's level of knowledge, from specialized to basic.

[0029] The instruction information providing unit 04 provides instruction information that serves as a behavioral guide for solving problems and / or accomplishing tasks. The instruction information suggests appropriate improvement measures and supports the correct use of products, related lifestyle improvements, and the introduction of observation records.

[0030] Here, the information processing system 001 has one or more arithmetic processing devices such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro-Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and the like for control purposes, and performs various information processing, control processing, etc. related to the information processing system 001 by reading and executing programs stored as auxiliary storage. Each functional unit in Fig. 1 is executed by the control function of the information processing system 001 operating based on a program.

[0031] In addition, the main memory function has temporary storage areas such as SRAM (Static Random Access Memory), DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), and flash memory, which temporarily store data necessary for the control function to execute calculations. The communication function is a communication module for performing communication-related processing, sending and receiving data with external parties such as users. The input function is a keyboard for inputting characters, symbols, etc., and a mouse for specifying the coordinates of the pointer and sending signals to control its position. The display function is a display that displays characters and graphics, and displays scientific information, instructional information, evaluation results, measurement results, etc. The auxiliary storage function is a large-capacity memory, a hard disk, etc., and stores programs and other data required for the control function to execute processing.

[0032] The program stored in the auxiliary storage function may be provided from a recording medium on which the program is recorded in a readable manner. The recording medium is, for example, a portable memory such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory, an SD (Secure Digital) card, a micro SD card, or a CompactFlash (registered trademark). The program recorded on the recording medium is read from the recording medium using a reading device and saved in the auxiliary storage function. Furthermore, if the information processing system 001 has a communication function capable of communicating with an external communication device, the program stored in the auxiliary storage function may be provided by communication via the communication function.

[0033] The auxiliary storage function can be applied to an external storage device connected to the information processing system 001. Also, a multi-computer consisting of multiple computers can be applied to the information processing system 001, and a virtual machine virtually constructed by software can also be applied. Next, FIG. 2 conceptually shows the roles (functions) played by the functional blocks of the information processing system 001. That is, the awareness information collecting unit 00, the awareness evaluating unit 01, and the extracting unit 02 function to organize and clarify the state of the user's efforts. Next, the scientific information provider 03 and the guidance information provider 04 act as educational functions to prevent people from abandoning the initiative and to support the continuation of the initiative. [Information processing method] FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of an awareness process for allowing a user to continue an effort, performed by the information processing system 001 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. First, in step S001, the awareness information collecting unit 00 collects awareness information of the user. Next, in step S 002 , the consciousness evaluation unit 01 analyzes and evaluates the consciousness information collected by the consciousness information collection unit 00 . Next, in step S003 , the extraction unit 02 extracts and clarifies the user's problems and / or issues from the evaluation results obtained by the awareness evaluation unit 01 . Next, in step S004, the scientific information provider 03 provides scientific information that serves as the basis for solving the problem and / or achieving the task. Next, in step S005, the training information providing unit 04 provides training information that serves as a behavioral guide for solving the problem and / or accomplishing the task.

[0034] Through the above processing, the information processing system of the present invention always provides useful, beneficial, and customized information to the user, allowing the user to effectively continue working on products, services, etc. without abandoning them midway. Furthermore, the information processing system according to the present invention supports continued use of the product by gradually encouraging a change in the user's awareness and optimizing the provision of scientific information and instructional information. Rather than simply providing information, we track changes in consciousness, respond to each individual case, and ensure objectivity by comparing with biometric indicators. Furthermore, by utilizing KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) and maximizing the influence of users among themselves, we can prevent users from dropping out and help them develop a habit. As a result, this will be a solution that will help manufacturers build sustainable customer relationships and contribute to achieving the SDGs. (Embodiment 2) [Information Processing Systems] FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0035] The consciousness information collection unit 10, consciousness evaluation unit 11, extraction unit 12, scientific information provision unit 13 and instruction information provision unit 14 provided in the information processing system 1 of embodiment 2 of the present invention are the same as the consciousness information collection unit 00, consciousness evaluation unit 01, extraction unit 02, scientific information provision unit 03 and instruction information provision unit 04 provided in the information processing system 001 of embodiment 1 of the present invention, and the information processing system 1 of embodiment 2 of the present invention further includes an implementation information collection unit 15, a biometric information acquisition unit 16, an environmental information acquisition unit 17, an information evaluation unit 18, a judgment unit 19, a scientific information re-provision unit 20 and an instruction information re-provision unit 21.

[0036] The implementation information collection unit 15 collects action information about actions taken by the user to solve the problem and / or the task. The action information is a record of actions actually taken by the user.

[0037] The biological information acquisition unit 16 acquires biological information of the user. The biological information includes information input to regulate the living body from various physiological and anatomical information emitted by the living body (e.g., electrocardiogram, heart sounds, X-ray absorption rate, etc.). For example, in the case of health foods, the biological information can be acquired by measuring changes in the intestinal flora or inflammatory markers.

[0038] The environmental information acquisition unit 17 acquires environmental information about the user. The environmental information includes objects and phenomena related to the user's living environment. For example, in the case of kitchen products, the environmental state is evaluated using an ATP test or an odor sensor.

[0039] The information evaluation unit 18 evaluates the behavioral information, biological information, and / or environmental information, such as the behavior the user engaged in, how much the user's biological information at the time of evaluation has changed since the start of the behavior, and how much the user's behavior is affected by the environment. The determination unit 19 determines whether or not continuous guidance is necessary based on the evaluation results output by the information evaluation unit 18. The determination unit 19 determines the degree to which the user has solved the problem and the degree to which the user has solved the issue based on various information.

[0040] When the judgment unit 19 determines that the user's problem has not been resolved or the task has not been accomplished, the scientific information re-provision unit 20 re-provides scientific information regarding at least one of behavioral information, biological information, and environmental information.

[0041] When the determining unit 19 determines that the task has not been accomplished, the instruction information re-providing unit 21 again provides instruction information regarding at least one of the behavioral information, the biological information, and the environmental information. Next, FIG. 5 conceptually shows the roles (functions) played by the functional blocks of the information processing system 1. That is, the awareness information collecting unit 10, the awareness evaluating unit 11, and the extracting unit 12 function to organize and clarify the state of the user's efforts.

[0042] Next, the scientific information providing unit 13, the instructional information providing unit 14, the scientific information re-provision unit 20, and the instructional information re-provision unit 21 act as an educational function to avoid abandoning the initiative and to support the continuation of the initiative.

[0043] Finally, the implementation information collection unit 15, biometric information acquisition unit 16, environmental information acquisition unit 17, information evaluation unit 18, and judgment unit 19 evaluate the user's behavioral history, the correlation and influence of information directly and / or indirectly related to the user, and provide feedback to the user.If the problem has not been solved or the task has not been accomplished, they function to promote the user's motivation, willingness, vitality, enthusiasm, and passion to continue working on the task. [Information processing method] FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of a procedure for an awareness raising process for a user to continue an effort, performed by the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. First, in step S101, the awareness information collecting unit 10 collects awareness information of the user. Next, in step S102, the consciousness evaluation unit 11 analyzes and evaluates the consciousness information collected by the consciousness information collection unit 10. Next, in step S103, the extraction unit 12 extracts and clarifies the user's problems and / or issues from the evaluation results obtained by the awareness evaluation unit 11. Next, in step S104, the scientific information providing unit 13 provides scientific information that serves as the basis for solving the problem and / or achieving the task. Next, in step S105, the training information providing unit 14 provides training information that serves as a behavioral guide for solving the problem and / or accomplishing the task.

[0044] Next, in step S106, the implementation information collecting unit 15 collects action information on actions taken by the user to solve the problem and / or the task.

[0045] Next, in step S107, the biometric information acquisition unit 16 measures and acquires the biometric information of the user, and the environmental information acquisition unit 17 measures and acquires the environmental information of the user.

[0046] Next, in step S108, the information evaluation unit 18 evaluates the user's current problem-solving progress and task achievement progress based on the behavioral information, biological information, and / or environmental information. At the same time, the information evaluation unit 18 evaluates the correlation between the behavioral information, biological information, and / or environmental information.

[0047] Next, in step S109, the judgment unit 19 judges whether or not continuous guidance to the user is necessary based on the evaluation result output by the information evaluation unit 18. If it is judged that the degree of problem resolution and task achievement of the user is sufficient, the process ends.

[0048] Next, if it is determined that the user's degree of problem resolution and task achievement is insufficient, in step S110, the scientific information re-provision unit 20 provides scientific information that will motivate the user to continue their efforts. Next, in step S111, the training information re-provision unit 21 provides training information that will motivate the user to continue the effort. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S106, and is repeated until it is determined that the user has sufficiently solved the problem and achieved the task.

[0049] Through the above process, the user can effectively continue working on the product, service, etc. without abandoning it midway, and can reach the goal of resolving the problem or achieving the task.

[0050] Furthermore, the information processing system of the present invention supports continued product use by gradually encouraging a change in the user's awareness and optimizing the provision of scientific information and instructional information. Regarding the method of providing scientific information and instructional information, it is possible to optimize the frequency, order, depth, and level of each piece of scientific information and instructional information based on the level and content of the user's awareness information, biological information, environmental information, etc., taking into consideration the causal relationships and correlations between the respective pieces of information when the scientific information and instructional information are provided.

[0051] By providing optimal scientific and instructional information, users will develop a habit of engaging with products and services, and the necessity of engaging with them will be installed even in the subconscious. Therefore, if users do not engage with products and services on a daily basis, they will feel a sense of discomfort, unease, and cognitive dissonance. Rather than simply providing information, we track changes in consciousness, respond to each individual case, and ensure objectivity by comparing with biometric indicators.

[0052] Furthermore, by utilizing KOLs and maximizing the influence of users on each other, it is possible to prevent users from dropping out and make them a habit. Users belonging to the same community can mutually communicate the legitimacy of efforts to products and services, as well as the unhealthiness and dangers of not implementing them, which can increase the sense of security and trust in the implementation of efforts and the sense of crisis that would result from not implementing them, thereby increasing the continuity of products and services. As a result, this will be a solution that will help manufacturers build sustainable customer relationships and contribute to achieving the SDGs. (Embodiment 3) [Information Processing Systems]

[0053] As is clear from FIG. 7, the information processing system 101 according to the third embodiment of the present invention further includes a re-awareness information collection unit 230, a re-awareness evaluation unit 240, a re-extraction unit 250, and a task comparison unit 260, and is identical to the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention except for these functional blocks.

[0054] As is clear from FIG. 8, the re-awareness information collection unit 230, the re-awareness evaluation unit 240, the re-extraction unit 250, and the task comparison unit 260 are functions for re-recognizing a problem or task when a new problem or task arises after the problem at the start of the initiative has been resolved or the task has been accomplished. The re-awareness information collecting unit 230 collects the user's awareness information again. The re-awareness evaluation unit 240 re-analyzes and re-evaluates the awareness information collected by the re-awareness information collection unit 230 in stages into overall awareness, partial awareness, and improvement awareness. The re-extraction unit 250 re-extracts and clarifies the user's problems and / or issues from the evaluation results obtained by the re-awareness evaluation unit 240. The task comparison unit 260 compares the existing task with the new task. [Information processing method] FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of an awareness process for allowing a user to continue an effort, performed by the information processing system 101 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. Here, the information processing method according to the third embodiment of the present invention is the same as the information processing method according to the second embodiment of the present invention except for steps S212 to S216.

[0055] First, in step S209, when it is determined that the problem has been sufficiently solved and the task has been fully accomplished, in step S212, the re-awareness information collection unit 230 collects the user's awareness information again to find out whether any new problems or tasks have arisen.

[0056] Next, in step S213, the re-awareness evaluation unit 240 re-analyzes and re-evaluates the awareness information collected by the re-awareness information collection unit 230 stepwise into overall awareness, partial awareness, and improvement awareness.

[0057] Next, in step S214, the re-extraction unit 250 re-extracts and clarifies the user's problems and / or issues from the evaluation results obtained by the re-awareness evaluation unit 240.

[0058] Next, in step S215, the task comparison unit 260 compares the conventional problem / task with the new problem / task re-extracted by the re-extraction unit 250, and if it is determined in step S216 that it is a new problem / task, the process proceeds to step S204; if the conventional problem / task and the new problem / task are the same or have only a slight difference, the process ends.

[0059] As described above, the information processing system 101 according to the third embodiment of the present invention can flexibly and smoothly deal with new problems and issues that arise, and can also continue and maintain efforts.

[0060] Furthermore, the information processing system of the present invention supports continued product use by gradually encouraging a change in the user's awareness and optimizing the provision of scientific information and instructional information. Regarding the method of providing scientific information and instructional information, it is possible to optimize the frequency, order, depth, and level of each piece of scientific information and instructional information based on the level and content of the user's awareness information, biological information, environmental information, etc., taking into consideration the causal relationships and correlations between the respective pieces of information when the scientific information and instructional information are provided.

[0061] By providing optimal scientific and instructional information, users will develop a habit of engaging with products and services, and the necessity of engaging with them will be installed even in the subconscious. Therefore, if users do not engage with products and services on a daily basis, they will feel a sense of discomfort, unease, and cognitive dissonance. Rather than simply providing information, we track changes in consciousness, respond to each individual case, and ensure objectivity by comparing with biometric indicators.

[0062] Furthermore, by utilizing KOLs and maximizing the influence of users on each other, it is possible to prevent users from dropping out and make them a habit. Users belonging to the same community can mutually communicate the legitimacy of efforts to products and services, as well as the unhealthiness and dangers of not implementing them, which can increase the sense of security and trust in the implementation of efforts and the sense of crisis that would result from not implementing them, thereby increasing the continuity of products and services.

[0063] Even if the current problems are resolved and the tasks are accomplished, the information processing system of the present invention can bring to the surface not only new problems and tasks that the user has that have become apparent, but also latent problems and tasks, and is designed to encourage the user to tackle these sequentially.Therefore, as long as the information processing system of the present invention is used, the user's problems and tasks can be resolved in a positive and constant manner, and a vector can be directed toward achievement. As a result, this will be a solution that will help manufacturers build sustainable customer relationships and contribute to achieving the SDGs. An application example of the information processing system 001 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described below. First, application example 1 will be shown. Application example 1: Application to health foods Target products: Prebiotic and probiotic products (supplements and beverages) that improve the intestinal environment Test Summary: Subjects: 300 adults (ages 30-50, 50:50 male / female ratio) Grouping: System user group (150 people), system non-user group (150 people) <Procedures for the Information Processing System 1 User Group> 1.
