[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, an image of information presentation using the information presentation method of this embodiment (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the present method) will be described with reference to FIG. Figure 1(1) is a screen image of a two-dimensional area 30 on the display screen (display unit 110) of an information presentation device (e.g., a smartphone) 100, with the first axis representing age and the second axis representing skin metabolic index, and a display output (graph display 40) showing evaluation values ​​for wrinkles, texture, age spots, metabolism, and scale as evaluation items. Figure 1(2) is a screen image after the operator specifies coordinate points on the two-dimensional area 30. In this method, as shown in Figures 1(1) and 1(2), a two-dimensional area 30 composed of a first axis and a second axis is displayed on an information presentation device 100. When an operator specifies a coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30, the coordinate value corresponding to the specified coordinate point is acquired, and the evaluation value of the evaluation item calculated from the acquired coordinate value is displayed and output in a display area different from the two-dimensional area 30, for example, as a graph display 40. The evaluation value of the evaluation item is displayed one-dimensionally (for example, a bar graph) as shown in Figures 1(1) and 1(2), for example. As shown in FIG. 1 , this method allows the operator to grasp the evaluation values ​​of evaluation items corresponding to coordinate points on the two-dimensional area 30 by displaying, for example, a graph display 40 in a display area different from the two-dimensional area 30, for evaluation values ​​that cannot be grasped from the two-dimensional area 30 alone. In particular, when there are many evaluation items for coordinate points on the two-dimensional area 30, it may be difficult to grasp the evaluation values ​​if the evaluation values ​​are displayed in the two-dimensional area 30. Furthermore, since the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items for the coordinate points on the two-dimensional area 30 that the operator wants to grasp can be displayed and output as the graph display 40, the operator's convenience is improved. Furthermore, since the displayed content of the graph display 40 changes as the operator changes (moves) the coordinate points specified on the two-dimensional area 30, it becomes possible to easily simulate various cases.

[0011] The information presentation method (present method) of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart (overview) shown in FIG.

[0012] In this embodiment, the first variable is composed of multiple types of first variables, and the second variable is composed of multiple types of second variables, and the operator can select any one first variable from the multiple types of first variables, any one second variable from the multiple types of second variables, and any one evaluation value of one or multiple evaluation items. The step (step S100) is a step in which the operator selects which one of the first variables, which one of the second variables, and which evaluation value of which evaluation item based on the first and second variables is to be displayed. The operator may be able to select all of the first variable, the second variable, and the evaluation items, or may be able to select only some of them (for example, only the second variable), or predetermined items may be used (no selection by the operator). If predetermined items are used, this step may not be provided. The "first variable" is one of the items (values) associated with the information to be evaluated and presented. When evaluating and presenting an item related to skin, it is an item directly or indirectly related to the skin condition. When evaluating and presenting an item related to hair, it is an item directly or indirectly related to the hair condition. When evaluating and presenting an item related to beauty, it is an item directly or indirectly related to the beauty condition. When evaluating and presenting an item related to health, it is an item directly or indirectly related to the health condition. Examples of items directly or indirectly related to the skin condition include items related to skin components, items related to skin physical properties, items related to the skin surface shape (irregularity), and items related to skin color. Items related to skin components include stratum corneum moisture content and sebum content. Items related to skin physical properties include skin elasticity, firmness, hardness, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), etc. Items related to the skin surface shape (irregularity) include skin texture, wrinkles, pores, sagging, scales, etc. Items related to skin color include skin blemishes, freckles, pigmented spots, L. * , a * , b * , etc. The "second variable" is one of the items (values) associated with the information to be evaluated and presented that is different from the first variable, and includes the same items as those listed in the first variable. The "evaluation value of the evaluation item" is one or more items (values) calculated using the first variable and the second variable, and includes the same items as those listed in the first variable. "Time-related items (values)" are items (values) that change over time, specifically, age, estimated age, season, month, time of day (morning, noon, night), etc. "Interview items (values)" are skin-related items such as age, skin condition, and skin type answered by the subject. "Measurement items (values)" are various measurements related to the subject's skin. "Estimated items (values) related to the subject's skin" are items (values) of the subject's skin condition estimated from the interview, skin measurement results, and acquired skin images, specifically, skin metabolic index, pore score, dullness, age spots, wrinkles, etc. Here, "skin metabolic index" refers to quantitative indices related to the metabolic state of the skin, such as whether cell regeneration, which occurs in the skin tissue, is normal, cell regeneration rate (turnover rate), stratum corneum cell area, degree of layering, ceramide profile, αβ protein, skin temperature recovery rate, and capillary response, and is based on the interview and skin measurement results conducted on the subject. Both such indices and quantitative index values ​​may be referred to as skin metabolic indices. "Items (values) calculated from the first and second variables" refer to skin-related items (values) or information such as average values ​​of skin-related items collected by conducting interviews, skin measurements, and skin image acquisition on multiple subjects, or recommended makeup products, skin care products, and other products calculated based on the first and second variables, or recommended skin care methods. The "averaged value," as will be described in more detail below, refers to a distribution calculated based on the first and second variables of values ​​of skin-related items collected by conducting interviews and skin measurements on multiple subjects. In this way, the evaluation values ​​of evaluation items include items that represent a person's skin condition. "Selectable" means that any selection method is acceptable as long as the operator can select the first variable, the second variable, and the evaluation value of the evaluation item. For example, a pull-down menu or check box may be provided to allow the operator to select the first variable, the second variable, and the evaluation value. In this embodiment, the first variable is "age," the second variable is "skin metabolism index," and the evaluation values ​​for the evaluation items are "wrinkles," "texture," "blemishes," "metabolism," and "scales" selected by the operator. The process (step S100) corresponds to a "selection process."

[0013] Here, preferred forms of the first variable, second variable, and evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items will be described. The first variable may be an item (value) related to time, an interview item (value), a measurement item (value), an estimated item (value) related to the subject's skin, etc., but is particularly preferably an item (value) related to time, for example, an item (value) that changes over time, such as age, seasonal change, estimated age, etc. In this embodiment, the first variable is "age." Items that change over time, such as age, are of great interest to users (operators) as items related to skin conditions, and in particular, since many items related to skin conditions improve (or worsen) over a certain period of time, setting the first variable to "age" will present information of great interest to users (operators). The second variable is different from the first variable, and is an item calculated or measured from operator information, the details of which will be described later, such as time-related items (values), interview items (values), measurement items (values), and estimated items (values) related to the subject's skin. In particular, items in which the user's lifestyle habits, such as diet, lifestyle (ultraviolet rays and dryness), sleep time, stress, and preferences (tobacco and alcohol), have a greater influence on the value than age are preferred. Specifically, it is preferable to use a "skin metabolism index" or "vascular age" as the second variable, and in this embodiment, the second variable is the "skin metabolism index." The evaluation values ​​for the evaluation items include items (values) related to time, interview items (values), measurement items (values), and estimated items (values) related to the subject's skin, but it is sufficient to present values ​​for items that are of particular interest to the user (operator), and in this embodiment, these are wrinkles, texture, age spots, metabolism, and scales. Here, when the first variable is "age," it is preferable to set the second variable to an item such as "skin metabolic index" or "vascular age" whose value is influenced more by the user's lifestyle than by age. Items whose value is influenced more by the user's lifestyle than by age are items that can be improved (their value improved) by improving the user's lifestyle, and can also be said to be age-independent items, and whose value can be improved depending on the lifestyle even as the user gets older. Among such age-independent items, items that are not related to the skin itself but are related to the skin itself, and whose improvement (or deterioration) of these items also improves (or worsens) the skin itself are particularly preferable. If an item that is not related to the skin itself (e.g., skin components, skin properties, skin shape, skin color, etc.) is set as the second variable, when the user simulates the future, if the value of the second variable (e.g., skin metabolic index) is improved, the user can understand how the values ​​of the evaluation items (in this embodiment, wrinkles, texture, age spots, metabolism, scales) will change, and this method can be used to encourage the user to make efforts to improve lifestyle habits, etc.

[0014] The step (step S110) is a step of displaying on the screen a two-dimensional area 30 configured with a first axis indicating a first variable and a second axis indicating a second variable. If the operator selects the first variable and / or the second variable in the step (step S100), the two-dimensional area 30 is displayed on the screen based on the selected first variable and / or the selected second variable. The "first axis" is an axis indicating a first variable, and in this embodiment, the horizontal axis (age) of the two-dimensional area 30 in FIGS. 1(1) and 1(2) corresponds to the first axis. The "second axis" is an axis indicating a second variable, and in this embodiment, the vertical axis (skin metabolic index) of the two-dimensional area 30 in FIGS. 1(1) and 1(2) corresponds to the second axis. A "two-dimensional region" is a region having two coordinates, specifically a region composed of two directions, the first axis direction and the second axis direction, which in this embodiment corresponds to 30 in Figures 1(1) and (2). "On the screen" refers to the display area of ​​a display device provided on a personal computer, mobile computer, PDA, tablet terminal, mobile phone, etc. The step (step S110) corresponds to a "two-dimensional region display step."

[0015] The step (step S120) is a step of inputting operator (sometimes referred to as "user") information (operator information) (corresponding to an "input step") and a coordinate calculation step of calculating coordinate values ​​based on the input information (corresponding to a "first coordinate value calculation step"). The operator information is information about the operator's biological body, such as the operator's age, sex, physical condition, lifestyle, occupation, sleep time, hobbies, and other information, including questions (medical questionnaire items) related to and / or affecting the biological body, particularly in this embodiment, answers to questions (medical questionnaire items) affecting skin condition, and / or skin component measurement results (including measurement results based on images of the skin), and the like. Predetermined items among these items are input. While FIG. 1 does not show a screen image when questions (medical questionnaire items) are displayed on the display device, a screen similar to that shown in FIG. 5(1) (described later) is displayed at a stage prior to step S120. The stage prior to step S120 may be any of the stages prior to step S100, step S110, and step S120. Then, the first and second variables are calculated based on the input information, and a coordinate value (first coordinate value) is calculated based on the operator information. Here, the "coordinate value" refers to a coordinate value on a two-dimensional area 30 composed of a first axis and a second axis, and is composed of a first variable and a second variable. In this embodiment, the coordinate value (first coordinate value) calculated based on the input operator information is such that the first variable is the operator's age, and the second variable is a skin metabolic index calculated from the medical interview results.

[0016] In the step (step S130), a coordinate point (first coordinate point (corresponding to a circle mark drawn on the two-dimensional area 30 in FIG. 1A)) corresponding to the coordinate value (first coordinate value) calculated in step S120 or a coordinate point (second coordinate point) corresponding to the coordinate of the coordinate value (second coordinate value) acquired in step S170 (described later) is displayed. As will be described later, this method allows the operator to specify a coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30 and slide the specified position, so the position of the coordinate point displayed in the two-dimensional area 30 is changed and displayed according to the slide movement. In this embodiment, the coordinate point is displayed as a circle mark, but any display mode may be used as long as the coordinate point can be recognized. Furthermore, the coordinate point (second coordinate point) corresponding to the coordinate of the coordinate value acquired in step S170 does not need to be displayed while the operator is moving the coordinate point (sliding the specified position). Alternatively, the coordinate point corresponding to the coordinate of the coordinate value may be displayed when the operator finishes moving the coordinate point (when the operator releases his / her finger from the display device). The process (step S130) includes a "first coordinate point display process."

[0017] The step (step S140) is a step of calculating evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items by applying a first variable and a second variable obtained from the coordinate values ​​(first coordinate values) calculated in step S120 or the coordinate values ​​(second coordinate values) acquired in step S170 (described later) to evaluation data (described later). Details of the method for calculating evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items will be described later, but in this embodiment, the evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items are calculated by averaging values ​​for skin-related items collected by conducting interviews and skin measurements on multiple subjects. The step (step S140) corresponds to a "first evaluation value calculation step" and a "second coordinate value acquisition step."

[0018] The step (step S150) is a step of displaying a display output corresponding to the evaluation value of one or more evaluation items calculated in step S140 in a display area different from the two-dimensional area. If the operator designates the first variable and / or the second variable as any of the evaluation values ​​of one or more evaluation items in the step (step S100), the display output corresponding to the designated evaluation value of one or more evaluation items is displayed in an area different from the two-dimensional area 30. "Display output corresponding to the evaluation value of one or more evaluation items" means display output in a display format that allows the evaluation value of each evaluation item to be grasped, and specifically, any display output may be used, such as a numerical display of the evaluation value, a bar graph or pie chart for the evaluation item, a display using different colors (for example, a grayscale display corresponding to the magnitude of the evaluation value), a display using an illustration (for example, changing the skin condition of the illustration according to the evaluation value), or a display using an operator's avatar (for example, changing the skin condition of the avatar according to the evaluation value), and it is preferable to use a display output that takes into consideration the ease of grasping the evaluation value and visual appeal. Furthermore, display output may be used in a plurality of display formats, such as display output of both a bar graph and a display using an operator's avatar. The "display area different from the two-dimensional area" may be different from the two-dimensional area 30, and it is preferable that it be located in a position close to the two-dimensional area 30, such as the display area displaying the graph display 40 shown in Figure 1(1). The step (step S150) corresponds to the "evaluation value display step."

[0019] In the step (step S160), the operator designates a coordinate point on the displayed two-dimensional area 30, and it is determined whether or not the designation has been made. "Specifying" means that the operator specifies a coordinate point on the displayed two-dimensional area 30. If the display device is a touch screen, this means pressing the display surface of the display device with the operator's finger or a touch pen, and if the display device is not a touch screen, this is specified by using an input device (not shown) such as a mouse to place an input position on the coordinate point to be specified in the display area where the two-dimensional area 30 is displayed, or by inputting the first and second variables using a keyboard. In this embodiment, it is determined whether the operator has specified a coordinate point, and if so, the process proceeds to step S170; if not, the process ends. The process (step S160) includes a "designation process."

[0020] A step (step S170) is a step of acquiring coordinate values ​​(second coordinate values) of the first axis and the second axis corresponding to the coordinate point specified by the operator in step S160. The position of the coordinate point specified by the operator in step S160 on the two-dimensional area 30 is detected, and the first variable and the second variable corresponding to the detected coordinate point are acquired as coordinate values. This step (step S170) corresponds to a "second coordinate value acquisition step."

[0021] <Calculation method for evaluation items> Next, a method for calculating the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items performed in the process (step S140) will be described with reference to FIG. A total of 110 female subjects in their 20s to 60s were interviewed about their skin, including their age, and skin-related items were measured using a measuring device. The interview content may be the same as or different from the interview content conducted when entering operator information in step S120. Measurements using the measuring device include measuring transepidermal water loss using a water loss meter, measuring the moisture content of the stratum corneum using a stratum corneum moisture meter, measuring the amount of sebum secreted using an oil content meter and sebum secretion meter, measuring skin elasticity, firmness, and hardness using a skin viscoelasticity measuring device, measuring melanin pigment and hemoglobin using a melanin and erythema hemoglobin meter, measuring texture, wrinkles, pores, etc. using a microscope, and measuring skin surface irregularities such as wrinkles and texture using skin image analysis. Note that the measurements listed are merely examples, and only the values ​​required for the evaluation items may be measured. The interview content and measurements are combined to calculate each subject's skin metabolic index as a quantitative value. Based on the age and skin metabolic index of the subject, a database of two-dimensional data as shown in Figures 3(1) to (4) is created. Figure 3(1) shows the a of the mouth. * It is two-dimensional data with the value of the evaluation value as a, and it is a data of the mouth of subjects (one or more people) who are similar in age and skin metabolic index. * The two-dimensional data shown in Fig. 3 shows the age on the horizontal axis and the skin metabolic index on the vertical axis. The two-dimensional data is divided into a plurality of regions by dividing the horizontal and vertical axes at predetermined intervals, and the measured values ​​are classified into the divided regions based on the age and skin metabolic index of each subject, and the average value of the measured values ​​of the subjects classified into each divided region is assigned. In this embodiment, the closer the skin metabolic index value is to 1, the more normal the skin metabolism is. Fig. 3(1) shows the a of the mouth * The results show that the skin metabolic index was calculated based on the values. * The value is L * a * b * It is one of the complementary color dimensions of the color space, and is one of the values ​​that indicate the color of the skin surface. * The higher the value, the more red the skin is. *The values ​​tend to be high (on the positive side). Figure 3 (2) shows the results of calculating the skin metabolic index based on the scale on the cheek. Scaling is a condition in which the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin, peels off. Depending on the condition of the scale, for example, a score of 0 is assigned if there is no scale, 1 if there is moderate scale, and 2 if there is severe scale, and the skin metabolic index is calculated based on the results. Figure 3 (3) shows the results of calculating the skin metabolic index based on the sagging score of the entire face. Sagging is a condition caused by a decrease in skin elasticity and firmness, and the skin metabolic index is calculated based on the sagging score of the entire face obtained from values ​​measured by a measuring device. Figure 3 (4) shows the results of calculating the skin metabolic index based on the wrinkle score on the forehead. The skin metabolic index is calculated based on the wrinkle score obtained from the measured wrinkle values. Note that Figure 3 shows a * Although four data sets based on the value (mouth), scale (cheeks), sagging score (whole face), and wrinkle score (forehead) are shown, providing more data, such as data based on scale (mouth), scale (forehead), scale score (mouth), scale score (average), texture (forehead), and texture (mouth), can increase the variety of evaluation items displayed and improve the accuracy of the evaluation values. The type of database to be prepared can be determined appropriately, taking into account the type, accuracy, and processing power of the evaluation items to be displayed and output. The two-dimensional data database shown in Figure 3 corresponds to "evaluation data." In the examples of Figures 3(1) to 3(4), quantitative values ​​such as measurements and scores are used as evaluation values. However, if the evaluation value is not a quantitative value (for example, a binary choice of "yes" or "no"), the number of people who answered "yes" can be used as the evaluation value, and a two-dimensional histogram can be used as the evaluation data. In this way, the first variable (e.g., age) and the evaluation values ​​of one or more evaluation items (e.g., wrinkles, skin texture, etc.) are obtained from a population of multiple subjects, and the second variable (e.g., skin metabolic index) is calculated based on the first variable and the measurements of multiple subjects. Then, using the two-dimensional data database shown in Fig. 3, the coordinate values ​​acquired in the acquisition step are applied to a predetermined calculation formula of a two-variable function or a multiple regression model to calculate evaluation values ​​for the evaluation items of the acquired coordinate values. The evaluation values ​​are calculated using predetermined data according to the evaluation items to be displayed and output from the stored database.

[0022] <About the medical interview items> Next, we will explain the preset medical interview items used when inputting operator information in the process (step S120). The medical interview items input by the operator are obtained by creating an estimation model for estimating measured values ​​of skin-related items using the skin interview results, including age, administered to the above-mentioned multiple subjects (110 female subjects in their 20s to 60s), and the results of measurements of skin-related items using a measuring device, and then setting medical interview items for estimating skin metabolic indexes using the created estimation model. By inputting operator information for the medical interview items set in this way (answering the medical interview items) and applying the coordinate values ​​(first variable and second variable) calculated based on the input operator information to the evaluation data, it is possible to calculate evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items.

[0023] Next, an information presentation device 100 equipped with the above-described information presentation method will be described. FIG. 4 shows a conceptual diagram of the information presentation device 100. As shown in FIG. The information presentation device 100 includes an input unit 105, a display unit 110, a designation unit 120, a two-dimensional region display control unit 130, a first coordinate calculation unit 135, a first coordinate point display control unit 140, a first evaluation value calculation unit 145, a second coordinate value acquisition unit 150, a second evaluation value calculation unit 155, an evaluation value display control unit 160, a storage unit 170, and a central processing unit (not shown). In this embodiment, the information presentation device 100 is an integrated device of the central processing unit and the display device, such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a personal computer, but the central processing unit and the display device may be separate devices.

[0024] The input unit 105 is a means for inputting operator information relating to the operator's biological information, and is a means for inputting data from input devices such as a keyboard or a touch pen, data from a microphone for inputting voice, data from a camera provided in the information presentation device 100 (data captured by the camera), and data captured by another device and acquired by the information presentation device 100 via the Internet, and corresponds to a central processing unit. The display unit 110 is a means for displaying the two-dimensional area 30 and a display output corresponding to the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items. This corresponds to a display device provided in a smartphone, tablet terminal, personal computer, etc. Considering operability and the effectiveness of the present method, it is preferable that the display device be a touch screen. The designation unit 120 is a means by which the operator designates a coordinate point on the displayed two-dimensional area 30. If the display device is a touch screen, the designation unit 120 corresponds to the operator's finger and a sensor that detects input (operator's finger) provided on the touch screen. The two-dimensional area display control unit 130 is a means for displaying a two-dimensional area 30 on the display unit 110, which is composed of a first axis indicating a first variable and a second axis indicating a second variable, and corresponds to a central processing unit. The first coordinate calculation unit 135 is a means for calculating a first coordinate value based on the input operator information, and corresponds to the central processing unit. The first coordinate point display control unit 140 is a means for displaying the first coordinate point corresponding to the first coordinate value on the two-dimensional area 30, and corresponds to the central processing unit. The first evaluation value calculation unit 145 is a means for calculating evaluation values ​​of one or more evaluation items associated with the first variable and the second variable based on the calculated first coordinate value, and corresponds to the central processing unit. The second coordinate value acquisition unit 150 is a means for acquiring second coordinate values ​​of the first axis and the second axis corresponding to the specified second coordinate point, and corresponds to the central processing unit. The second evaluation value calculation unit 155 is a means for calculating the evaluation value of the evaluation item based on the acquired second coordinate value, and corresponds to the central processing unit. The evaluation value display control unit 160 is a means for displaying a display output (e.g., a graph display 40) corresponding to the calculated evaluation value of one or more evaluation items in a display area different from the two-dimensional area 30 of the display means, and corresponds to a central processing unit. The storage unit 170 stores a computer program for executing the information presentation method and the evaluation data shown in Fig. 3. The computer program for executing the information presentation method also includes an arithmetic expression for a two-variable function or a multiple regression model used when calculating the evaluation value of the evaluation item by applying the calculated coordinate values ​​or the acquired coordinate values ​​to the evaluation data.

[0025] A method for displaying evaluation values ​​of skin evaluation items by the information display device 100 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 5, a smartphone is used as the information presentation device 100. FIG. 5(1) shows a screen image for inputting operator information. As shown in FIG. 5(1), medical interview items 20, including the operator's age, are displayed. The operator inputs answers according to the displayed medical interview items 20. In FIG. 5(1), answers are input by selecting from a pull-down menu, but the input method is not limited to this. For example, multiple answer check boxes may be displayed for each interview, and answers may be input by checking them. Furthermore, answers may be selected from a predetermined range (for example, for "How is your skin condition?", five levels are: good, slightly good, normal, slightly poor, and poor), or answers may be input in a non-level range using a slider.

[0026] Figure 5(2) shows a state in which coordinate values ​​(corresponding to "first coordinate values") are calculated based on the input operator information, a circle is displayed at the corresponding coordinate in the two-dimensional area 30 (displaying the "first coordinate point"), and evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items are calculated from the calculated coordinate values, and a display output corresponding to the evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items is performed in a display area different from the two-dimensional area 30 (for example, the area where the graph display 40 in Figure 5(2) is displayed). In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the first variable is age, the second variable is a skin metabolism index, and the evaluation items to be displayed are five items: wrinkles, texture, age spots, metabolism, and scales, and these items are preset items. In the embodiment of Fig. 5, the evaluation values ​​are shown as a bar graph as shown in Fig. 5(2). The display order of the evaluation items in the display output shown in Fig. 5(2) may be a predetermined order, or the display order may be changed depending on the evaluation value (for example, ascending / descending order depending on the evaluation value).

[0027] 5(3) shows that the operator has specified with his / her finger a coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30 where the operator wishes to display the evaluation value, and the evaluation values ​​of multiple evaluation items calculated from the coordinate values ​​(corresponding to "second coordinate values") corresponding to the specified coordinate point (corresponding to "second coordinate point") are displayed as a graph display 40 in a display area different from the two-dimensional area 30. Since the coordinates of the circles displayed in the two-dimensional area 30 are different in FIGS. 5(2) and 5(3), the evaluation values ​​displayed and output in the graph display 40 are also different between FIGS. 5(2) and 5(3). The operator may directly specify a coordinate point at any coordinate on the two-dimensional area 30 in FIG. 5(3). Alternatively, the operator may place (touch) a finger on a circled coordinate point shown in FIG. 5(2) and slide the finger to move the finger to the desired coordinate for displaying the evaluation value. In this case, it is preferable to sequentially display the evaluation value calculated from the coordinates passed by the finger as it slid (the coordinates on the path the finger moved on the two-dimensional area 30) on the graph display 40. This display control can heighten the operator's interest in the method of displaying the evaluation value. Furthermore, the sequential changes in the evaluation value displayed on the graph display 40 can serve as a reference when specifying the desired coordinate for the evaluation value. Furthermore, the operator can freely set the desired information, such as what evaluation value the operator would get if they continued aging at their current state, what evaluation value the operator would get if their skin metabolic index were improved, or the coordinate of the desired evaluation value (e.g., an improved wrinkle evaluation value from the current state), and the results corresponding to the information can be displayed. In this way, the specification process (when the operator specifies a second coordinate point on the two-dimensional area that is different from the displayed first coordinate point) allows the operator to continuously specify multiple coordinate points on the two-dimensional area 30, and the evaluation value display process (displaying the display output corresponding to the evaluation value in a display area different from the two-dimensional area) displays the display output corresponding to the calculated evaluation value of one or more evaluation items each time the coordinate point specified in the specification process is changed, thereby continuously changing and displaying the display output (equivalent to sequentially displaying the evaluation values ​​on the graph display 40). Note that when the operator does not specify a point on the two-dimensional area 30 (removes the finger from the two-dimensional area 30), a circle may be displayed at the coordinate based on the input operator information (resulting in the display of the two-dimensional area 30 shown in FIG. 5(2)), and the evaluation value calculated from the coordinate values ​​may be displayed as graph display 40 (resulting in the display of the graph display 40 shown in FIG. 5(2)). Alternatively, when the operator specifies coordinates on the two-dimensional area 30, a circle may be displayed at the last specified coordinate (the coordinate when the finger was removed from the two-dimensional area 30), and the evaluation value calculated from the coordinate values ​​may be displayed as graph display 40. Furthermore, when the operator specifies a coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30 again, a circle may be displayed at the specified coordinate in the two-dimensional area 30, and the evaluation value calculated from the coordinate values ​​may be displayed in graph display 40.

[0028] Figure 5(4) is a screen image when a suitable agent is suggested to the operator. The agent suggestion may be one of the evaluation items calculated by applying the first and second variables obtained from the coordinate values ​​to the evaluation data. However, since the nature of this is different from the wrinkles, texture, age spots, metabolism, and scale items shown in Figures 5(2) and (3), it is preferable to display it separately from the graph display 40, as shown in Figure 5(4). The agent suggestions are stored in the database as one of the evaluation data shown in Figure 3. The agent evaluation data, like the evaluation data, is created from skin-related interviews, including age, conducted with multiple subjects, and the results of skin-related measurements taken with a measuring device. The interview items should include information about the agents used by the subject. Evaluation data on cosmetics is stored for each coordinate in the two-dimensional region 30, regarding the cosmetics used by the subject at that coordinate. The cosmetics used by the subject at the corresponding coordinates are estimated as being suitable for the subject with the age and skin metabolic index corresponding to the coordinates, and are recommended to the operator. In this way, cosmetics suitable for the current age and skin metabolic index (skin condition) can be recommended based on the operator information. It is also possible to determine, for example, what cosmetics would be suitable for a coordinate with a better skin metabolic index for the current operator's age. Product A and product B shown in FIG. 5(4) may display products of the same type (e.g., lotion A (product A) and lotion B (product B) as recommended cosmetics from among lotions), or may display recommended cosmetics from different types of products (e.g., lotion A (product A) and emulsion B (product B)). This allows the operator to freely simulate not only skin condition but also cosmetics. In this way, by including one or more evaluation items that represent the medications used by multiple subjects and suggesting medications that are suitable for the operator, it is possible to provide the operator with a lot of useful information.

[0029] FIG. 5(5) shows a state in which the operator is moving the coordinate point to the coordinates of age 65. This is the case when the operator wants to simulate the operator's future skin condition (in the case of FIG. 5(5), the skin condition at age 65). In this case, if the two-dimensional area 30 remains in the state shown in FIG. 5(5), it is not possible to move the coordinate point when simulating a skin condition further in the future, for example, the skin condition at age 80. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5(6), it is preferable to control the display so that the coordinate point specified by the operator is at the center of the two-dimensional area 30. In FIG. 5(6), the two-dimensional area 30 is shifted in the future direction in the first variable direction, but it may also be shifted in the past direction. Similarly, in the second variable direction, the two-dimensional area 30 may be shifted to match the coordinate point specified by the operator.

[0030] The flowchart of this method is shown in Figure 6. Note that the <medical interview items> and <method of calculating the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items> are the same as those described above. The process (step S200) is a process of displaying medical interview items for inputting operator information on the display unit 110. The display unit 110 displays in the manner shown in FIG.

[0031] The step (step S210) is a process in which the operator inputs answers to the medical interview items displayed on the display unit 110, and is an input step in which operator information (answers to the medical interview items) relating to the operator's living body is input.

[0032] The step (step S220) is a process of displaying on the screen a two-dimensional area 30 configured with a first axis indicating a first variable and a second axis indicating a second variable, and is a two-dimensional area display step.

[0033] The step (step S230) is a process of calculating a first coordinate value based on the operator information input in step S210, and is a first coordinate value calculation step. The "coordinate value" is a coordinate value on a two-dimensional area 30 configured by a first axis and a second axis, and is composed of a first variable and a second variable. The "first coordinate value" is a coordinate value calculated based on the input operator information, and in this embodiment, the first variable is the "age" of the operator, and the second variable is the "skin metabolic index" of the operator calculated from the interview results.

[0034] The process (step S240) is a process of displaying a coordinate point (first coordinate point) at the coordinates of the first coordinate value calculated in step S230 in the two-dimensional area 30 of the display unit 110, and is a first coordinate point display process of displaying the first coordinate point corresponding to the first coordinate value on the two-dimensional area 30.

[0035] The step (step S250) is a process of calculating evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items by applying the first and second variables obtained from the first coordinate values ​​to the evaluation data, and is a first evaluation value calculation step of calculating evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items associated with the first and second variables based on the calculated first coordinate values. The step calculates an average value of values ​​for skin-related items collected by interviewing and measuring the skin of multiple subjects as evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items (in this embodiment, wrinkles, texture, age spots, metabolism, and scale).

[0036] The step (step S260) is a process of displaying a display output corresponding to the evaluation value of the evaluation item calculated in step S250 in a display area (graph display 40) different from the two-dimensional area 30 of the display unit 110, and is an evaluation value display step of displaying a display output corresponding to the evaluation value calculated in the first evaluation value calculation step in a display area (graph display 40) different from the two-dimensional area 30. The display mode of the display unit 110 is as shown in FIG. 5(2). This is also a process of displaying a display output corresponding to the evaluation value of the evaluation item based on the second coordinate value calculated in step S290 (described later) in a display area (graph display 40) different from the two-dimensional area 30 of the display unit 110, and is an evaluation value display step of displaying a display output corresponding to the evaluation value calculated in the second evaluation value calculation step in a display area (graph display 40) different from the two-dimensional area 30. The display unit 110 has a display mode as shown in Fig. 5(3).

[0037] The step (step S265) is a process in which the operator specifies a coordinate point on the displayed two-dimensional area 30, and is a specification step in which the operator specifies a second coordinate point, which is different from the displayed first coordinate point, on the two-dimensional area 30. If the display unit 110 is a touch screen, the operator presses the display surface of the display unit 110 with his / her finger or a touch pen. If the display unit 110 is not a touch screen, the operator specifies the coordinate point by using an input device (not shown) such as a mouse to place an input position on the coordinate point to be specified in the display area where the two-dimensional area 30 is displayed, or by inputting a first variable and a second variable using a keyboard.

[0038] The step (step S270) is a process of determining whether or not the operator has designated a coordinate point (second coordinate point) on the displayed two-dimensional area 30. If it is determined that the operator has designated a coordinate point, the process proceeds to step S280, and if it is determined that the operator has not designated a coordinate point, the process ends.

[0039] The process (step S280) is a process for acquiring the coordinate values ​​of the first axis and the second axis corresponding to the specified coordinate point when it is determined in step S270 that the operator has specified a coordinate point (second coordinate point), and is a second coordinate value acquisition process for acquiring the second coordinate values ​​of the first axis and the second axis corresponding to the specified second coordinate point.

[0040] The step (step S290) is a process of calculating evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items by applying the first and second variables obtained from the second coordinate values ​​to the evaluation data, and is a second evaluation value calculation step in which evaluation values ​​for one or more evaluation items associated with the first and second variables are calculated based on the acquired second coordinate values. The evaluation items and the calculated evaluation values ​​are the same as those in step S250. Once the evaluation values ​​based on the second coordinate values ​​have been calculated, the process proceeds to step S260, where the calculated evaluation values ​​are displayed in a display area (graph display 40) different from the two-dimensional area 30 of the display unit 110. The display mode on the display unit 110 is as shown in FIG. 5(3).

[0041] <Modification> Although the present embodiment does not explicitly state whether or not the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items are displayed in the two-dimensional area 30 shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 5 , it is preferable to display the two-dimensional area 30 on the screen in which at least one of the evaluation values ​​of one or more evaluation items is concealed. This increases the operator's interest when the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items are displayed as a graph display 40 by the operator specifying a coordinate point. Furthermore, particularly when there are multiple evaluation values ​​for evaluation items, displaying the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items in the two-dimensional area 30 can make it difficult to grasp the evaluation values ​​for the specified coordinate points and the coordinates as well. However, by concealing the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items in the two-dimensional area 30, the operator can easily grasp the coordinates and specify an appropriate position more easily.

[0042] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 5, the evaluation value display process displays the relationship between one or more evaluation items and the evaluation values ​​of one or more evaluation items as a bar graph as display output, but is not limited to this, and any display format that can increase the operator's interest in the evaluation value and make it easy for the operator to understand the evaluation value, such as a pie chart display, a radar chart display, a display of the evaluation value itself (displayed as a number), a display using illustrations or avatars, a display using different colors, or, for example, a face image of the operator obtained and processed to reflect the evaluation value (simulated face image), may be used. FIG. 7 illustrates a case where an operator's face image is acquired and then processed to reflect the evaluation value and displayed.

[0043] FIG. 7(1) is similar to FIG. 5(1), and the operator inputs operator information related to the operator's biological information by answering medical questionnaires. At this time, the operator's face may be photographed using a camera provided in the information presentation device 100 and input as operator information, and the photographed image is displayed in an area (face image display area 60) different from the two-dimensional area 30 as a face image of the operator at that time. FIG. 7(2) is a screen image in which a coordinate point is displayed in the two-dimensional area 30 at the coordinates of a first coordinate value calculated from the operator information, a display output (graph display 40) corresponding to the evaluation value of the evaluation item calculated from the first coordinate value is displayed, and further, a face image of the operator at that time is displayed in the face image display area 60. Note that instead of a face image, an avatar image of the operator may be created and displayed from the operator information. 7(3) is a screen image when the operator moves a coordinate point on the two-dimensional area 30 and specifies a second coordinate point. A second coordinate value is calculated from the second coordinate point, and a display output (graph display 40) corresponding to the evaluation value of the evaluation item calculated from the second coordinate value is displayed. Furthermore, a facial image of the operator at the second coordinate value is displayed in the facial image display area 60 from the calculated evaluation value. In this way, by displaying a facial image in addition to the graph display 40, the operator can easily grasp predicted changes in his or her own condition. A method for creating a face image at the second coordinate value will be described. A table is stored in advance for each evaluation item (in this embodiment, wrinkles, texture, age spots, metabolism, and scales) showing which part of the face (target part) will have an effect on the evaluation value of the evaluation item and to what extent (expression level) the effect will be manifested. Specifically, for example, if the evaluation item is wrinkles, the target parts are the eyes, mouth, and eyes + mouth, and the expression levels are the depth, length, and number of wrinkles; if the evaluation item is age spots, the target parts are under the eyes, cheeks, and under the eyes + cheeks, and the expression levels are the color depth, area, and density of the age spots, and a table is stored in association with each evaluation value. This table is created in advance from values ​​collected by conducting interviews, skin measurements, and acquiring skin images of multiple subjects. As shown in FIG. 7(2), the current face image is displayed in face image display area 60. Then, the operator selects which of the evaluation items the operator wishes to know about changes in. For example, suppose wrinkles is selected. Then, since the evaluation value in graph display 40 changes as the operator moves the coordinate point on two-dimensional area 30, the target area and expression level corresponding to the evaluation value of wrinkles among the five evaluation items are identified using the table, and the identified target area and expression level are reflected in the face image in face image display area 60, thereby creating the face image shown in FIG. 7(3). In this way, a facial image can be created based on the evaluation value corresponding to the movement of the coordinate point by the operator, and the operator can grasp the evaluation value of the evaluation item using the facial image as well as the graph display 40. In the above explanation, the operator is allowed to select which of the evaluation items he or she wishes to know the change in, but the facial image may reflect the expression state according to the evaluation values ​​of all the evaluation items.

[0044] In this embodiment, the evaluation value is presented using a graph display 40 or a face image display area 60, but in addition to the display output, sound may be added according to the evaluation value (for example, if the evaluation value indicates good skin condition, a sparkling sound may be output, and if the evaluation value is not good, a message of encouragement or sound encouraging the user to rest may be output).

[0045] In this embodiment, the operator inputs answers to the medical questionnaire items displayed on the display unit 110, but this is not limiting. For example, answers may be input by voice to the medical questionnaire items that are output as voice. Alternatively, operator information may be input by taking a facial image of the operator and analyzing the facial image. Alternatively, physical property values ​​of the operator's face (skin) may be measured with a measuring device, and a medical questionnaire item for inputting the measured value may be provided. Operator information may be input in any manner.

[0046] In this embodiment, operator information can be input from the face image of the operator. Similarly, information about a third party can be input by, for example, reading the face image of the third party, calculating coordinate values ​​(referred to as "third party coordinate values") from the read image, and displaying coordinate points (referred to as "third party coordinate points") corresponding to the third party coordinate values ​​in the two-dimensional area 30. At this time, it is preferable that the third party coordinate points be displayed in a different manner (for example, with a different mark) from the operator's coordinate points. Then, an evaluation value (referred to as "third party evaluation value") is calculated and the third party evaluation value is displayed in the graph display 40. At this time, it is preferable that the third party evaluation value be displayed in a different manner from the operator's evaluation value, or in a different display area (each evaluation item is divided into the operator and the third party (two bar graphs indicating the evaluation value)). For example, by setting the third party as a person that the operator wants to be, reading in a facial image of the person that the operator wants to be, and displaying the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items (third-party evaluation values), the operator can understand the differences with his / her own data.Furthermore, by searching for the coordinate point where the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items, which change as the operator moves his / her own coordinate point, become the same as the third-party evaluation values, the operator can, for example, recognize the differences between his / her own skin condition and the skin condition of the person that the operator wants to be, and can understand how the operator can get his / her own skin metabolic index closer to the same skin condition as the person that the operator wants to be.

[0047] In this embodiment, the two-dimensional region 30 is displayed in step S220, and the first coordinate point corresponding to the first coordinate value is displayed on the two-dimensional region 30 in step S240, but this is not limited to this. The process of calculating the first coordinate value of the two-dimensional region 30 in step S230 may be performed first, and the process of displaying the two-dimensional region 30 and the first coordinate point corresponding to the first coordinate value on the two-dimensional region 30 may be performed together at the timing of step S240. In this way, the display region of the two-dimensional region 30 can be adjusted so that the first coordinate value is approximately at the center of the two-dimensional region 30.

[0048] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5(6), the display is controlled so that the specified coordinate point is at the center of the two-dimensional area 30, but this is not limited to this. The two-dimensional area 30 may be scrolled so that the range corresponding to the coordinate values ​​that the operator wants to display can be displayed. In addition, by widening the display range of the two-dimensional area 30 (widening the ranges of the first and second variables), the operator can grasp the overall picture, and by narrowing the display range of the two-dimensional area 30 (narrowing the ranges of the first and second variables), the operator can specify the coordinate point in detail. In this way, it is preferable that the display range of the two-dimensional area 30 can be changed by the operator.

[0049] In the flowchart of FIG. 6, the first variable, the second variable, and the evaluation item are predetermined items. However, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2, the first variable, the second variable, and the evaluation item may be selectable by the operator (step S100 selection process). In particular, since the evaluation items desired by different operators may differ, the first variable and the second variable may be predetermined items, and only the evaluation item may be selectable by the operator. Note that the selection process may be performed before step S200 of FIG. 6 or after step S260. After step S260, the first coordinate point corresponding to the first coordinate value calculated from the operator information and the evaluation value of the evaluation item may be displayed as a predetermined first variable (age), second variable (skin condition index), and evaluation item (wrinkles, texture, age spots, metabolism, scale), and then may be redisplayed using the first variable, second variable, and evaluation item selected by the operator.

[0050] In this embodiment, the central processing unit of the information presentation device 100 is provided with the two-dimensional region display control unit 130, the first coordinate calculation unit 135, the first coordinate point display control unit 140, the first evaluation value calculation unit 145, the second coordinate value acquisition unit 150, the second evaluation value calculation unit 155, and the evaluation value display control unit 160. However, this is not limiting, and for example, some of these may be provided in a computing device or server provided separately from the information presentation device 100, and calculations may be performed on these devices, with the information presentation device 100 acquiring the calculation results and displaying them on a display means. This reduces dependency on the processing performance of the smartphone or personal computer owned by the operator, making it possible for any operator to use this method.

[0051] In this embodiment, the evaluation data shown in FIG. 3 may be two-dimensional distribution data such as heat map data, contour map data, or scatter plots, and may also be, without being limited to map data, for example, a lookup table showing the relationship between the first and second variables and the evaluation values ​​of the evaluation items. In addition, Figure 3 shows two-dimensional distribution data with age as the first axis and skin metabolic index as the second axis as an example of evaluation data, but the stored evaluation data also includes two-dimensional distribution data of various combinations consisting of a first axis indicating a first variable selectable by the operator and a second axis indicating a second variable selectable by the operator.
