[Figure 2] This figure shows an example of the hardware configuration of subject terminal 1. [Figure 3] This figure shows an example of the software configuration of subject terminal 1. [Figure 4] This figure shows an example of the hardware configuration of management server 2. [Figure 5] This figure shows an example of the software configuration for management server 2. [Figure 6] This is a diagram illustrating the operation of an information processing system. [Figure 7] This figure shows an example of the software configuration of the management server 2 according to the second embodiment. [Figure 8] This figure shows an example of the software configuration of the management server 2 according to the third embodiment. [Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0010】 <First Embodiment> The following describes a first embodiment of the information processing system. In the first embodiment, the anterior chamber depth (distance from the cornea to the lens) of the subject is estimated from an image of the subject's eye. A shallow anterior chamber depth increases the risk of acute glaucoma attacks and glaucoma attacks during dilated pupil examinations. Since it is possible to estimate the anterior chamber depth from an image of the subject's eye, it is also possible to understand the risk of acute glaucoma attacks and glaucoma attacks during dilated pupil examinations. 【0011】 Figure 1 shows an example of the overall configuration of an information processing system. The information processing system in this embodiment includes a management server 2. The management server 2 is connected to the subject terminal 1 via a communication network. The communication network is, for example, the internet and is constructed using public telephone lines, mobile phone lines, wireless communication channels, Ethernet (registered trademark), etc. 【0012】 Subject terminal 1 is a computer operated by the subject. Subject terminal 1 can be, for example, a smartphone, tablet computer, or personal computer. Subject terminal 1 is equipped with a camera (not shown) that can photograph the subject's face (especially the subject's eyes). It is also possible that the subject terminal 1 is operated by a test collaborator rather than by the subject themselves. 【0013】 The management server 2 may be a general-purpose computer such as a workstation or personal computer, or it may be logically implemented through cloud computing. 【0014】 <Subject terminal 1> Figure 2 shows an example of the hardware configuration of the subject terminal 1. Note that the illustrated configuration is just one example, and other configurations are also possible. The subject terminal 1 includes a CPU 101, memory 102, storage device 103, communication interface 104, touch panel display 105, and camera 106. The storage device 103 stores various data and programs, such as a hard disk drive, solid state drive, or flash memory. The communication interface 104 is an interface for connecting to a communication network, such as an adapter for connecting to Ethernet®, a modem for connecting to a public telephone network, a wireless communication device for wireless communication, or a USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector or RS232C connector for serial communication. The touch panel display 105 is an interface for inputting and outputting data, and can display images on the screen and acquire the position of touches on the screen. The camera 106 can acquire captured images. Furthermore, each functional unit of the subject terminal 1, as described later, is realized by the CPU 101 reading a program stored in the storage device 103 into the memory 102 and executing it, and each storage unit of the subject terminal 1 is realized as part of the storage area provided by the memory 102 and the storage device 103. 【0015】 Figure 3 shows an example of the software configuration of the subject terminal 1. The subject terminal 1 includes an image acquisition unit 111 and an image transmission unit 112. 【0016】 The image acquisition unit 111 acquires images (hereinafter referred to as "captured images") taken by the camera 106. The image acquisition unit 111 can control the camera 106 by known methods to acquire captured images from the camera 106. When the camera 106 takes a picture, the image acquisition unit 111 can, for example, output a message to the subject instructing them to take a picture of their eyes. The image acquisition unit 111 may, for example, be activated by the subject to acquire images, or it may acquire captured images in response to receiving a message from the management server 2 instructing it to take a picture. 【0017】 The image acquisition unit 111 may be configured to receive a specification of a captured image captured in advance. For example, the image acquisition unit 111 may be configured to receive a specification of an image of the subject's eyes captured from among the images registered in an image storage unit such as a camera roll. Alternatively, in response to a specification from the subject, the image acquisition unit 111 may be configured to read a captured image from a storage device (a storage device included in the subject terminal 1 or a storage medium connected to the subject terminal 1 or a storage device included in an external server) in which files are stored. 【0018】 It is assumed that the subject's eyes are captured in the captured image. The captured image may be an image of the subject's face, or may be an image that captures only the vicinity of the subject's eyes. The image acquisition unit 111 may determine whether the eyes are included in the captured image. For example, the image acquisition unit 111 can determine whether the eyes are included in the captured image by providing the captured image to a model for detecting eyes and determining whether the eyes can be detected from the captured image. If the eyes are not included, the image acquisition unit 111 may output a message to the subject to retake the captured image, and acquire a captured image (or a captured image captured in advance) captured again by the camera 106. 【0019】 The image transmission unit 112 transmits the captured image acquired by the image acquisition unit 111 to the management server 2. 【0020】 Figure 4 shows an example of the hardware configuration of the management server 2. Note that the illustrated configuration is just one example, and other configurations are also possible. The computer includes a CPU 201, memory 202, storage device 203, communication interface 204, input device 205, and output device 206. The storage device 203 stores various data and programs, such as a hard disk drive, solid-state drive, or flash memory. The communication interface 204 is an interface for connecting to a communication network, such as an adapter for connecting to Ethernet®, a modem for connecting to a public telephone network, a wireless communication device for wireless communication, or a USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector or RS232C connector for serial communication. The input device 205 is for inputting data, such as a keyboard, mouse, touch panel, button, or microphone. The output device 206 is for outputting data, such as a display, printer, or speaker. Furthermore, each functional unit of the management server 2, as described later, is realized by the CPU 201 reading programs stored in the storage device 203 into memory 202 and executing them, and each storage unit of the management server 2 is realized as part of the storage area provided by memory 202 and storage device 203. 【0021】 Figure 5 shows an example of the software configuration of the management server 2. The management server 2 comprises a learning model storage unit 231, a subject information storage unit 232, an image acquisition unit 211, a subject information output unit 213, a subject information acquisition unit 214, and an anterior chamber depth estimation unit 215. 【0022】 The learning model storage unit 231 stores a learning model for estimating the anterior chamber depth of the subject. The learning model stored in the learning model storage unit 231 can be created, for example, by machine learning using an eye image and anterior chamber depth as training data. The learning model can also be created by learning by machine learning using an eye image, anterior chamber depth, and at least one of age and sex as training data. The learning model may be updated by machine learning in response to feedback from the subject's eye image and the subject's anterior chamber depth (for example, the anterior chamber depth measured by the subject with another device can be received from the subject terminal 1). Note that the learning model storage unit 231 may be provided by an external server instead of the management server 2, and the learning model may be used via an API provided by the external server. 【0023】 The subject information storage unit 231 stores subject information about the subject. The subject information may include at least one of the subject's age and gender. The subject information may also include any subject attributes such as name and address. The subject information may also include an estimated value of the anterior chamber depth estimated by the anterior chamber depth estimation unit 214, which will be described later. 【0024】 The image acquisition unit 211 acquires captured images of the subject's eyes. The image acquisition unit 211 can receive captured image data transmitted from the subject terminal 1. The image acquisition unit 211 can send a message to the subject terminal 1 instructing it to take a picture of the subject's eyes. The subject terminal 1 takes a picture in response to the message and can receive the captured image of the eyes from the subject terminal 1. 【0025】 The subject information acquisition unit 214 acquires subject information. The subject information acquired by the subject information acquisition unit 214 does not need to include anterior chamber depth. For example, the subject information acquisition unit 214 can receive values ​​for each item included in the subject information, such as the subject's name, address, age, and gender, from the subject terminal 1 and register them as subject information in the subject information storage unit 231. The subject information may also include the refractive values ​​of the subject's eyes (spherical power, cylindrical power, equivalent spherical power, astigmatism axis, etc.). 【0026】 The anterior chamber depth estimation unit 215 estimates the anterior chamber depth of the subject. The anterior chamber depth estimation unit 215 can estimate the anterior chamber depth of the subject by providing the acquired images to the learning model stored in the learning model memory unit 231. 【0027】 The anterior chamber depth estimation unit 215 may estimate the anterior chamber depth of a subject by providing the learning model stored in the learning model memory unit 231 with the acquired image and at least one of the subject information items stored in the subject information memory unit 231. For example, the anterior chamber depth estimation unit 215 can estimate the anterior chamber depth of a subject by providing the learning model stored in the learning model memory unit 231 with the acquired image and at least one of the subject information's age and sex. Alternatively, for example, the anterior chamber depth estimation unit 215 can also estimate the anterior chamber depth of a subject by providing the learning model stored in the learning model memory unit 231 with the acquired image and the refractive value of the subject information. 【0028】 The subject information output unit 213 outputs information about the subject (hereinafter referred to as subject information). The subject information may include information that identifies the subject and the estimated anterior chamber depth of the subject. The subject information output unit 213 may transmit the subject information to the subject terminal 1, to an output device such as a display, or to a terminal (not shown) of a medical professional such as an ophthalmologist. 【0029】 <Operation> Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating the operation of an information processing system. 【0030】 The subject operates the subject terminal 1 to take a picture of their own eye (S301), and the subject terminal 1 transmits the captured image to the management server 2 (S302). 【0031】 The management server 2 receives the captured images from the subject terminal 1 and provides them to the learning model stored in the learning model storage unit 231 to estimate the subject's anterior chamber depth (S303). The management server 2 can then create and output subject information, including the subject's anterior chamber depth (S304). 【0032】 As described above, the information processing system according to the first embodiment can estimate the anterior chamber depth of a subject from an image of the subject's eye. This can then be used to determine the risk of glaucoma. 【0033】 Furthermore, the management server 2 may be equipped with a glaucoma attack risk determination unit that determines the risk of acute glaucoma attacks and glaucoma attacks during pupil dilation examinations based on the estimated anterior chamber depth. In this case, the subject information output unit 214 can output the glaucoma risk along with, or in lieu of, the estimated anterior chamber depth. 【0034】 <Disclosure Items> Furthermore, this disclosure also includes the following configurations.
