Description

Display mode determination method and program

[0001] The present invention relates to a display mode determination method and a program.

[0002] Conventionally, a technology has been proposed for displaying multiple types of health-related information, such as weight and blood pressure, on the display unit of a smartphone or the like (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this case, for example, by displaying each type of information in multiple sections arranged vertically, the user can view the information while comparing them. When graphs showing different information, such as weight and blood pressure, are displayed in each section, the different graphs can be displayed sequentially on the display unit by scrolling the screen. Furthermore, by adjusting the horizontal scale of each section, it is possible to view the information while comparing changes in the horizontal axis (changes over time) of each piece of information.

[0003] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2020-75152

[0004] However, when trying to compare the changes in the horizontal axis of multiple pieces of information, depending on the display size of the information and the number of pieces of information displayed, when scrolling the screen, the information that was previously displayed may no longer be displayed as new information is displayed on the display unit, making it difficult to view and compare the changes in the horizontal axis of multiple pieces of information.In particular, understanding continuous or long-term changes in health status and recording events that may have continuous or long-term effects on health status provide useful information for health management and disease treatment, so there has been a demand for technology that allows multiple pieces of information to be easily compared.

[0005] In view of the above-described conventional techniques, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique for displaying a plurality of pieces of content that have been set in a predetermined order so that they can be compared with one another.

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a display mode determination method for a computer that outputs a display control command to a device capable of displaying images to determine a display mode for a plurality of contents that can be handled, the method comprising: selecting at least one content from the plurality of contents that can be handled as fixed display content; determining the order of the fixed display content and adding it to a fixed display content group; designating all or some of the remaining content as moving display content and adding it to the moving display content group by determining the order of the moving display content; designating some or all of the moving display content to form a first moving display content group; designating those of the moving display content that have not been designated in the first moving display content group as a second moving display content group; determining the display modes for the fixed display content included in the fixed display content group, the moving display content included in the first moving display content group, and the second moving display content included in the second moving display content group; setting a fixed display content display area that displays the fixed display content group and a first moving display content display area that displays at least some of the first moving display content group in a part of a display area; In the first movement display content display area, the plurality of movement display contents included in the first movement display content group are arranged in the order in a first direction, and are configured to be movable in a second direction opposite to the first direction while maintaining the order;When the first moving display content group is moved within the first moving display content display area in the second orientation in accordance with a user instruction including the amount of movement of the first moving display content group in the second orientation, if at least a part of the moving display content included in the first moving display content group falls outside the first moving display content display area in the second orientation, all or a part of the moving display content that has fallen outside the first moving display content display area is designated as moving display content belonging to the second moving display content group and added to the second moving display content group, and is removed from the first moving display content group at the latest by the time the entirety of the moving display content falls outside the first moving display content display area in the second orientation.

[0007] With this, the user can make the plurality of contents into a display mode that allows them to be compared with one another by giving a simple instruction including the amount of movement of the group of movement-displayed contents in the second direction.

[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a technique for displaying one or more specific pieces of content and a plurality of pieces of content in a predetermined order so that they can be compared with each other.

[0010] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0011] Example 1 An example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described below. However, unless otherwise specified, the dimensions, materials, shapes, relative positions, etc. of the components described in this example are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention to those only.

[0012] In the following embodiments, an example of a method for setting a moving display content display area and a fixed display content display area on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1 according to the display mode determination method of the present invention and determining the display mode of the corresponding moving display content or fixed display content in each content display area will be described. Here, the moving display content display area is an area on the touch panel display 12 where the moving display content is displayed. As will be described later, when setting an area for displaying content belonging to a second moving display content group, the moving display content display area is realized as a first moving display content display area and a second moving display content display area. Furthermore, the fixed display content display area is an area on the touch panel display 12 where the fixed display content is displayed. However, the display mode determination method of the present invention is not only applicable to devices having a display unit as described above, but can also be applied to a computer connected to a device that projects image information, such as a projector. Furthermore, the display mode determination method of the present invention can be applied to devices that display in various spaces, such as real space, virtual space, and various hyperreal spaces.

[0013] FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of an information display system 100 according to a first embodiment. The terminal 1 is an information processing device equipped with a display unit capable of displaying image information, such as a smartphone, tablet, or personal computer. The terminal is connected to measuring devices, such as a blood pressure monitor 101, a body weight and composition monitor 102, an activity monitor 103, a sleep monitor, and a thermometer, via wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or sonic waves, or via wired communication. The terminal 1 also includes application software that manages measurement values ​​obtained by the blood pressure monitor 101, a user's activity record, and various information related to the measurement values. The terminal 1 cooperates with the blood pressure monitor 101 and displays the measurement values ​​obtained by the blood pressure monitor 101 and various information obtained by processing the measurement values ​​on the display unit.

[0014] 2 is a functional block diagram of a smartphone serving as the terminal 1. The terminal 1 includes a communication unit 11, a touch panel display 12, a storage unit 13, and a control unit 14. The terminal 1 corresponds to a computer according to the present invention.

[0015] The communication unit 11 is a communication interface that controls transmission and reception of signals with the sphygmomanometer 101, etc. In the case of a wireless communication method, the communication unit 11 is a communication antenna that transmits and receives radio waves including radio waves related to short-range wireless communication, and receives measurement information transmitted from the sphygmomanometer 101, etc., as well as transmits and receives radio waves with other electronic devices and base stations. The communication unit 11 may be a wired communication method, and any known technology may be employed.

[0016] The touch panel display 12 has an image display unit 121 that displays various information to the user, and an input receiving unit 122 that receives various inputs from the user. Note that if the terminal 1 is a PC, instead of a touch panel display, it may be equipped with a display device such as a display as the image display unit, and an input device such as a keyboard or mouse as the input receiving unit.

[0017] The storage unit 13 includes a main storage device such as RAM and a long-term storage medium such as flash memory, and stores various types of information, such as biometric information and application programs including a display control program that controls the display of images on the image display unit 121 based on instructions received by the input receiving unit 122. The biometric information includes measurements from measuring devices such as the blood pressure monitor 101, body weight and composition monitor 102, activity monitor 103, sleep monitor, and thermometer, as well as user input values ​​such as medication, diet, and symptom notes. In this embodiment, the biometric information includes not only measurements from measuring devices and user input values, but also numerical information such as temperature, air pressure, and room temperature, and text or coded information such as weather. The display control program may be acquired via the communication unit 11 by connecting to an information processing device such as a server that stores the display control program via a network, or may be read from a storage medium installed inside or in an external device that stores the display control program, or may be pre-stored in the storage unit 13 of the terminal 1. Alternatively, some or all of the biometric information may be stored in a server external to the terminal 1, and the necessary biometric information may be downloaded from the external server to the terminal 1 each time the display control program is executed. Alternatively, some or all of the display control program may be stored and executed in a server external to the terminal 1, and only display may be performed on the terminal 1. The storage unit 13 may store various parameters used for image display control. Here, the various parameters may include, for example, a parameter for specifying which of multiple contents are designated as fixed display content and which as moving display content. Alternatively, the various parameters may include a parameter for the order of fixed display content and moving display content, a parameter for specifying which content is designated as the first moving display content, a parameter for the number of contents to be included in the second moving display content group, and a parameter for the height of the fixed display content display area. Furthermore, the parameters for the size of the display area and content may be defined as absolute values ​​using pixels, or as a ratio to the size of the screen Sc.

[0018] Content is created by the display control program of the present invention based on the biometric information stored in the storage unit 13, and the biometric information is displayed as content on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1. In this embodiment, the term "content" refers to the visualization of biometric information using an appropriate method, such as a graph or table, for an appropriate interval (e.g., an arbitrary interval such as seven days when using dates) based on an attribute (e.g., a date) that allows each piece of information to be compared with another piece of information. Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described using a case in which content is created using an interval based on dates, and the interval based on dates will be referred to as the "display period." An example of content in this embodiment is a blood pressure graph generated from blood pressure measurements. Furthermore, the size of each piece of content may be unique, or the dimensions of the comparison axis may be aligned, with the lengths of the dimensions in other directions different from the comparison axis being different between each piece of content, or all pieces of content may be the same size. This embodiment describes a case in which the size of the screen Sc of the touch panel display 12 is longer in the vertical direction (Y-axis) than in the horizontal direction (X-axis), and the comparison axis (date axis) is set to the horizontal direction (X-axis), and the contents are generated with at least the horizontal size aligned.

[0019] The control unit 14 is a means for controlling the terminal 1, and is configured to include, for example, a CPU, and executes various programs stored in the memory unit 13, thereby causing the terminal 1 to perform functions corresponding to these programs.

[0020] In this embodiment, seven pieces of content are generated from biometric information: blood pressure content 23, action record content 24, step count content 25, weight content 26, sleep time content 27, calorie expenditure content 28, and BMI content. Among these pieces of content, the blood pressure content 23 is first selected and added to the fixed display content group as fixed display content. Of the remaining six pieces of content, five pieces of content, namely the action record content 24, step count content 25, weight content 26, sleep time content 27, and calorie expenditure content 28, are designated as moving display content and added to the moving display content group in this order. In other words, in this embodiment, the BMI content is not designated as either fixed display content or moving display content and is not subject to display. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first and subsequent pieces of content of the five moving display content designated in the moving display content group (i.e., all five pieces of content currently included in the moving display content group) are designated to create a first moving display content group 20a. Furthermore, since all of the movement display content included in the movement display content group are now included in the first movement display content group, the number of contents included in the second movement display content group 20b at this point is 0. Here, the first movement display content group 20a corresponds to the first movement display content group of the present invention, and the second movement display content group 20b corresponds to the second movement display content group of the present invention.

[0021] 3 shows an example of a combination of content and its display mode displayed on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1. In this example, each content is generated for a seven-day display period. In this example, the top, bottom, left, and right of the screen Sc of the touch panel display 12 correspond to the top, bottom, left, and right of the screen. Arranged from top to bottom on the screen Sc of the touch panel display 12 are a target year / month area 21 and a target weekly date area 22 (hereinafter, the target year / month area 21 and the target weekly date area 22 are collectively referred to as the date display area). Following the date display area, a fixed content display area Re1 is set, within which a blood pressure content 23, which is a fixed content, is displayed. Following the fixed display content display area Re1, a moving display content display area Re2 is set, and the series of moving display contents displayed therein are the behavior record content 24, step count content 25, weight content 26, sleep time content 27, and calorie consumption content 28 included in the first moving display content group, arranged in this order (the sleeping time content 27 and calorie consumption content 28 are not shown in Figure 3).

[0022] Due to the limited size of the screen Sc, in the state shown in FIG. 3 , the movement display content display area Re2 on the screen Sc displays all of the action record content 24 and only a portion of the step count content 25 out of the series of movement display contents. The series of movement display contents displayed in the movement display content display area Re2 are displayed so as to be movable up and down within the movement display content display area Re2. Note that, when the action record content 24, which is the first content of the first movement display content group, is added to the second movement display content group 20b and removed from the first movement display content group 20a by the process described below, the first movement display content group 20a will include, in order, the step count content 25, weight content 26, sleep time content 27, and calorie consumption content 28. The series of movement display contents displayed in the movement display content display area Re2 will be displayed with each content arranged in this order. Details of the display method of each content in the fixed display content display area Re1 and the movement display content display area Re2 will be described later.

[0023] The target year and month area 21 displays the year and month (here, March 2021) that each piece of content displayed below it targets. The target weekly date area 22, set adjacent to and below the target year and month area 21, displays the dates and days of the week that each piece of content displayed below targets, horizontally, starting from the 8th (Monday) through the 14th (Sunday). These date display areas (target year and month area 21 and target weekly date area 22) indicate the horizontal (X-axis) reference for arranging information in each piece of content displayed below. Note that FIG. 3 shows an example in which the horizontal (X-axis) reference is defined as a weekly unit, and the horizontal (X-axis) reference for each piece of content is not limited to weekly display.

[0024] FIG. 4 shows examples of each content and an example of the screen display mode when the horizontal (X-axis) basis on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1 is changed from weekly display. In the description of FIG. 4 , descriptions of displays common to the display example of FIG. 3 are omitted as appropriate. In the example of FIG. 4 , the horizontal (X-axis) basis is monthly display. Also, while a date display area was provided to display the target period in FIG. 3 , in FIG. 4 , the date display is included as part of the blood pressure content 31, and within the blood pressure content 31, the target year and month, March 2021, and each date of the target month from the 1st to the 31st are displayed horizontally (here, only the 1st, 7th, 14th, and 28th are displayed as numbers, and the other days are displayed as black dots). That is, in addition to providing a dedicated date display area and displaying it therein, some or all of the static content included in the static content group can be generated so that the date notation is included within the static content. 4, a fixed display content display area Re1 and a movement display content display area Re2 are arranged in this order from the top of the screen Sc of the touch panel display 12. A blood pressure content 31 is displayed as fixed display content in the fixed display content display area Re1. In the movement display content display area Re2, an action record content 32, a step count content 33, and a weight content 34 included in a first movement display content group are arranged in this order as a series of movement display contents, and some of them are displayed in the movement display content display area Re2 on the screen Sc.

[0025] FIG. 5 shows an example of the display of each content when the horizontal (X-axis) reference is further changed on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1. Description of displays common to the display examples of FIGS. 3 and 4 will be omitted where appropriate. In the example of FIG. 5, the horizontal (X-axis) reference is the yearly display. Also, in FIG. 5, the month display is displayed as part of the blood pressure content 41. The information displayed on the touch panel display 12 includes, from the top of the screen Sc (see FIG. 7), a fixed display content display area Re1 and a moving display content display area Re2. The blood pressure content 41 is selected and displayed as fixed display content in the fixed display content display area Re1. In the moving display content display area Re2, the remaining available content, namely, the action record content 42, the step count content 43, and the weight content 44, are displayed as first moving display content. Here, the blood pressure content 41 displays the target year 411, 2021, and the target months from January to December horizontally.

[0026] Next, the content of each of the above-mentioned contents will be described in detail. The display period, which serves as the horizontal (X-axis) reference for each of the contents described below, can be set appropriately, such as seven days, one month, or one year, as described above. The blood pressure content 23 in FIG. 3 , the blood pressure content 31 in FIG. 4 , and the blood pressure content 41 in FIG. 5 are contents that graphically display blood pressure measurements corresponding to each display period. In the blood pressure content 23, a range from 80 (mmHg) to 130 (mmHg) is set as the vertical axis. The blood pressure content 23 also displays two horizontal lines 236 and 237 indicating the diastolic and systolic blood pressure targets, a bar 231 extending from the systolic blood pressure value to the diastolic blood pressure value for each of the four days on which blood pressure was measured (here, the 8th, 9th, 11th, and 12th), and numerical values ​​representing the systolic blood pressure value 234 and the diastolic blood pressure value 235, displayed horizontally at positions corresponding to each date. If multiple measurements are taken on the same day, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure values ​​may be averages, maximum and minimum values, or other representative values. The upper and lower ends 232 and 233 of each bar represent the systolic and diastolic blood pressure values, respectively. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure values ​​are displayed in different colors: black if the systolic blood pressure value is below the target value, and gray if the systolic blood pressure value exceeds the target value. For ease of illustration, the black and gray colors are used; however, in practice, colors such as blue and red may be used to more clearly distinguish the values. Similarly, the diastolic blood pressure value is displayed in gray if it significantly exceeds the target value, and in black if it is not significantly different from the target value. The display content of the blood pressure content 31 in Figure 4 is almost the same as that in Figure 3, except that a date display is included in the blood pressure content 31. The blood pressure on the day of blood pressure measurement is displayed as a bar corresponding to each date in a month. The display content of the blood pressure content 41 in Figure 5 is almost the same as that in Figures 3 and 4, with bars extending from the systolic blood pressure value to the diastolic blood pressure value displayed at positions corresponding to each month in monthly increments. The systolic blood pressure value and diastolic blood pressure value may be the average value for the current month, the highest value and the lowest value, or other representative values.

[0027] The action record content 24 in FIG. 3 displays the user's action record corresponding to the date displayed in the date display area. The action record content 24 displays the action record entered by the user as the action record for the corresponding day, corresponding to each date arranged horizontally. The types of action record displayed in the action record content 24 include medication, exercise, vegetable intake, alcohol consumption, sleep, smoking, and hospital visits. Details of the action record are displayed using action record icons Ic1 to Ic14 for each item. For example, the action record for medication displays the number of times the medication was taken, and the action record icons include a one-time medication icon Ic1, a two-time medication icon Ic2, and a three-time medication icon Ic3, which represent the medication status for each day (how many times the medication was taken on that day). Furthermore, the action record for exercise displays whether the user engaged in moderate exercise, and the action record icons include an exercise icon Ic4, which represents moderate exercise, and a lack of exercise icon Ic5, which represents lack of exercise. Furthermore, the behavioral record regarding vegetable intake displays whether or not the user ate vegetables, and the behavioral record icons include a vegetable intake icon Ic6 indicating that a user ate a lot of vegetables and a vegetable deficiency icon Ic7 indicating that a user ate insufficient vegetables. The behavioral record regarding alcohol consumption displays whether or not the user drank alcohol, and the behavioral record icons include a drinking icon Ic8 indicating that the user drank alcohol and a no drinking icon Ic9 indicating that the user did not drink alcohol. The behavioral record regarding sleep displays whether or not the user slept sufficiently, and the behavioral record icons include a sleep icon Ic10 indicating that the user slept sufficiently and a sleep deprivation icon Ic11 indicating that the user did not sleep enough. The behavioral record regarding smoking displays whether or not the user smoked, and the behavioral record icons include a smoking icon Ic12 indicating that the user smoked and a no smoking icon Ic13 indicating that the user did not smoke. The behavioral record regarding hospital visits displays whether or not the user visited a hospital, and the behavioral record icons include a hospital icon Ic14 indicating that the user visited a hospital or the like.

[0028] In the behavior record content 32 in FIG. 4 , behavior records entered by the user are displayed as behavior records for the corresponding days, corresponding to the dates arranged horizontally. In the behavior record content 32 shown in FIG. 4 , icons Ic1 and the like representing each item of the behavior record are displayed vertically on the left side, and the behavior records entered by the user are displayed as circles 321 and the like at positions corresponding to the dates in the horizontal direction. As in FIG. 3 , the types of behavior records displayed in the behavior record content 32 include medication, exercise, vegetable intake, alcohol consumption, sleep, smoking, and hospital visits. For medication status, black circles are displayed for each medication intake among the circles 321 and the like. For other behavior records, favorable results are displayed as black circles 322 and unfavorable results are displayed as gray circles 323. For example, for exercise, a favorable result of exercising is displayed as a black circle, and an unfavorable result of not exercising is displayed as a gray circle. For low-salt intake, a favorable result of limiting salt intake is displayed as a black circle. In the row on the left where the low-salt icon Ic15, which indicates that salt intake has been reduced, is displayed, the unfavorable result of not reducing salt intake is displayed with a gray circle. Similarly, for drinking alcohol, the favorable result of not drinking alcohol is displayed with a black circle, and the unfavorable result of drinking alcohol is displayed with a gray circle. In Figure 4, for convenience of drawing, the black and gray circles are displayed with blue and the gray with red, which is preferable because the difference in color allows the good and bad behaviors to be recognized.

[0029] The content of the behavioral record content in FIG. 5 is almost the same as that in FIG. 4 , but the circles indicating the results are displayed in monthly units, corresponding to each horizontally arranged month, as the behavioral record for that month. The method for deriving the monthly behavioral record from the daily behavioral records entered by the user is not particularly limited. For example, if the number of days recorded for the first medication intake exceeds the number of days recorded for a lack of vegetables, a black circle may be displayed in the field representing the first medication intake. Furthermore, if the number of days recorded for a high vegetable intake exceeds the number of days recorded for a lack of vegetables, a black circle may be displayed in the field representing the high vegetable intake. Similarly, if the number of days recorded for drinking exceeds the number of days recorded for not drinking, a gray circle may be displayed in the field representing not drinking. If the number of days recorded for drinking is less than the number of days recorded for not drinking, a black circle may be displayed in the field representing not drinking.

[0030] 6(A) and (B) show other examples of monthly action record content 42. In the action record content 421 shown in FIG. 6(A), the action record entered by the user is displayed as the action record for each month, corresponding to each month arranged horizontally. In FIG. 6(A), circles representing results are displayed in four sizes: large circle 4211, medium circle 4212, small circle 4213, and tiny circle 4214. For example, the size of the circle can be changed depending on the number of days in a month on which the action was performed, such as the tiny circle 4214 for days 1 to 7, the small circle 4213 for days 8 to 14, the medium circle 4212 for days 15 to 21, and the large circle 4211 for days 22 or more. Furthermore, if the result of subtracting the number of days recorded for which a person did not consume a lot of vegetables from the number of days recorded for which a person did consume a lot of vegetables is positive or zero, a black circle may be displayed in a size corresponding to the number of days. If the result of the subtraction is negative, a gray circle may be displayed in a size corresponding to the number of days. Similarly, if the result of subtracting the number of days recorded for which a person did not consume alcohol is positive or zero, a black circle may be displayed in a size corresponding to the number of days. If the result of the subtraction is negative, a gray circle may be displayed in a size corresponding to the number of days. Furthermore, for each item, if the number of days in a month for which a corresponding behavior was recorded is zero, a circle may not be displayed. Furthermore, the color of the circle may be changed depending on the size. The shape of the mark is not limited to a circle, and the size, color, or presence or absence of an appropriate shape may be distinguished according to predetermined criteria.

[0031] Similarly, in the behavior record content 422 shown in FIG. 6(B), the behavior record entered by the user is displayed as the behavior record for the corresponding month, corresponding to each month arranged horizontally. However, in FIG. 6(B), the behavior record for each month for each item is displayed numerically. For medication status, black numbers 4221 are displayed, while for exercise and other items, two-colored numbers, black numbers 4222 and gray numbers 4223, are displayed, one above the other. These numbers can display, for example, the number of times performed, the number of times the goal was achieved, the implementation rate, and the goal achievement rate. Furthermore, if the content of the behavior record relates to the occurrence of a specific symptom (phenomenon), such as the detection of an abnormal waveform in an electrocardiogram, the occurrence rate (number of occurrences / number of measurements (inputs)) may be displayed numerically as the behavior record. The information displayed as a numerical value for the behavior record can be set appropriately depending on the content of each item and is not limited to the information described above.

[0032] The display examples of behavioral record content shown in Figures 3, 4, 5, 6(A) and (B) are examples of content that is divided into categories in the vertical direction, rather than numerical values ​​such as blood pressure, number of steps and weight.Otherwise, it can be displayed using pie charts showing occurrence rates and achievement rates, and the display format is not limited, but each piece of information is displayed in a position corresponding to each day of a week or month, or each month of a year, arranged horizontally.

[0033] The step count content 25 in FIG. 3 displays the user's step count corresponding to each date in a target period. The step count content 25 has a vertical axis ranging from 2000 (steps) to 6000 (steps). The step count content also displays the number of steps for each day (here, five days: the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th) on which the step count was measured, as a bar graph 251, corresponding to each date in a week arranged horizontally. Step value values ​​252 are displayed above the bar graph 251. The display content of the step count content 33 in FIG. 4 is similar to that in FIG. 3, except that the number of steps on each day on which the step count was measured is displayed in bar graph form, corresponding to each date in a month arranged horizontally. The display content of the step count content 43 in FIG. 5 is similar to that in FIG. 4, except that the number of steps is displayed in bar graph form, corresponding to each month in a year arranged horizontally. Here, the number of steps per month is displayed as the average number of steps for that month, but the display format of the number of steps is not limited to this, and the total number of steps for the month may also be displayed.

[0034] The weight content 26 in Fig. 3, the weight content 34 in Fig. 4, and the weight content 44 in Fig. 5 are contents that display the user's weight corresponding to the dates of the target period. Each weight content has a vertical axis ranging from 55 (kg) to 65 (kg). Each weight content also displays the weight corresponding to each date arranged horizontally. For example, in the weight content 26, measurements for four days (the 8th, 10th, 11th, and 12th) are displayed in a line graph 261, with a weight value 262 displayed above the line graph 261. The weight content 44 displays a graph plotting the average value for each month, but a graph plotting other representative values ​​may also be displayed.

[0035] Other contents displayed on the screen Sc include a sleeping time content 27 and a calorie consumption content 28 (described later). The sleeping time content 27 is content that displays the user's sleeping hours corresponding to the dates of a target period. The sleeping time content displays, for example, the measured values ​​for each date in a line graph as the sleeping hours corresponding to each date arranged horizontally, with the sleeping hours displayed above the line graph. The calorie consumption content 28 is content that displays the user's calories consumed corresponding to the dates of a target period. The calorie consumption content displays, for example, the measured values ​​for each date in a line graph as the calories consumed corresponding to each date arranged horizontally, with the value of the calories consumed displayed above the line graph.

[0036] Furthermore, the information included in the content displayed on the screen Sc may be an index indicating a person's physical and mental state or an index related to health, as described above, or other information. Although examples of the display period for each piece of content are shown here as a week (7-day display), a month (31-day display), a year (12-month display), etc., the display period can be selected as appropriate, such as a day (24-hour display) or a three-month display in 10-day increments, depending on the characteristics of the data displayed in the content and the screen size.

[0037] (First Display Pattern) Hereinafter, a first display pattern that determines the display mode when each of the contents illustrated in FIG. 3 is displayed on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1 will be described.

[0038] FIG. 7 shows the display state of each content illustrated in FIG. 3 on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1. Here, the dashed frame indicates the screen Sc, which is the area where an image is displayed on the touch panel display 12. In each figure, including FIG. 7, content that is not actually displayed on the touch panel display 12 is also shown outside the screen Sc to explain changes in the display mode of content on the terminal 1. Furthermore, in each of FIGS. 7, 8, and 9, which are used to explain the first display pattern, the sleep time content 27 and calorie consumption content 28 are omitted, as in FIG. 3. Here, the date display area, fixed display content display area, and moving display content display area are arranged adjacent to each other vertically (from top to bottom) on the screen of the touch panel display 12, and each content is arranged vertically within the corresponding content display area. Furthermore, the downward direction in this embodiment corresponds to the first orientation of the present invention, and the upward direction in this embodiment corresponds to the second orientation of the present invention. The first orientation may be, for example, to the right of the touch panel display 12, and it is also possible to move the content horizontally on the touch panel display 12. The first and second orientations may also be set appropriately according to the shape of the screen Sc and are not limited to horizontal or vertical.

[0039] The following describes a case in which the display mode of each content displayed on the touch panel display 12 is changed by an instruction to move the content in the up or down direction. The following describes a case in which the user touches a portion of the touch panel display 12 corresponding to the moving content display area Re2 with a finger and moves the finger in the up or down direction (±Y direction) while touching the touch panel display 12 (also referred to as a swipe or flick), thereby inputting an instruction to move in the +Y direction or the −Y direction according to the amount of finger movement. However, the portion that the user touches for operation may be the entire touch panel display 12, or an operation image such as a scroll bar or slider may be displayed on the right edge of the screen Sc, and the user may perform an operation by touching the operation image with a finger. Alternatively, the user may use any operation method other than touching the touch panel display 12, such as an instruction using directional keys included in an input device such as a keyboard connected to the terminal 1, or by rotating a wheel on a mouse. The user's input operation corresponds to the input of an instruction in the present invention.

[0040] Here, when we say that each area, such as the date display area, fixed display content display area, and moving display content display area, is arranged adjacently, it does not mean that the areas are arranged continuously with no gaps between them, but also includes cases where there is space, borders or dividing lines, text or decorative elements, or advertisements between the areas, and it is sufficient that there is enough continuity for the user to recognize them as a series of areas displaying multiple contents.

[0041] Next, the fixed content display area Re1 will be described in detail using FIG. 7 . The fixed content display area Re1 is an area on the screen Sc where fixed content, which is content that is always displayed on the screen Sc, is displayed unless a specific operation, such as switching the display mode of the screen Sc or pausing or terminating the display, is performed. In this embodiment, the fixed content group includes only one fixed content, the blood pressure content 23, so in FIG. 7 , only the blood pressure content 23 is displayed in the fixed content display area Re1. However, if the fixed content group includes multiple fixed content, all of the fixed content are displayed. When multiple contents are displayed in the fixed content display area Re1, the display order of each fixed content in the fixed content display area Re1 is preset, and this order remains unchanged unless a separate operation, such as replacing the fixed content, is performed. Similarly, in the first display pattern, the height of the display area of ​​each fixed content in the fixed content display area Re1 is also preset. The height of the display area of ​​each fixed display content may be set to be equal (the same height), or if there is a difference in the height of the original content, it may be set to a height that corresponds to the ratio of those heights.

[0042] Next, the moving display content display area Re2 will be described in detail using FIG. 7 . The moving display content display area Re2 is disposed adjacent to and below (in the −Y direction) the fixed display content display area Re1 on the screen Sc. The moving display content display area Re2 is an area in which a series of moving display contents, each of which is arranged in order from top to bottom, included in the first moving display content group 20a, is displayed in a manner that allows scrolling in the vertical direction (Y-axis direction). Note that the height of each moving display content in the moving display content display area Re2 is set in advance.

[0043] 7, the blood pressure content 23 corresponds to the fixed display content of the present invention. The action record content 24, the step count content 25, and the weight content 26 correspond to the movement display content of the present invention. The fixed display content display area Re1 and the movement display content display area Re2 correspond to the fixed display content display area and the movement display content display area of ​​the present invention, respectively.

[0044] 8 shows the display of the screen Sc of the touch panel display 12 in a state in which the display mode of each content has changed in response to a user's instruction to move upward (in the +Y direction) from the state shown in FIG. At this time, the series of movement display content displayed in the movement display content display area Re2 of the screen Sc moves upward relative to the movement display content display area Re2, and some of the action record content 24 moves out of the movement display content display area Re2. At this time, the part of the action record content 24 that has moved out of the movement display content display area Re2 is designated as movement display content belonging to the second movement display content group 20b and is added to the second movement display content group 20b, while the part of the action record content 24 displayed in the movement display content display area Re2 continues to remain as part of the first movement display content group. In this embodiment, no area is set to display the second movement display content group 20b, so that a portion of the action record content 24 that now belongs to the second movement display content group (i.e., a portion of the action record content 24 that is now outside the movement display content display area Re2) is hidden, while the portion whose display position is within the movement display content display area Re2 remains as the first movement display content group and continues to be displayed within the movement display content display area Re2. Furthermore, as the display positions of the series of movement display contents move upward on the screen Sc, the display position of the lower portion of the step count content 25 that was not displayed on the screen Sc in FIG. 7 moves within the movement display content display area Re2 and is displayed on the screen Sc. Thus, the series of movement display contents formed by arranging the movement display contents belonging to the first movement display content group 20a in this order, specifically, the action record content 24 is at the top, followed by the step count content 25 and the weight content 26, which are successively arranged vertically, and move upward together while maintaining the order, continuity, and size of each content.At this time, the leading portion of the series of movement display contents that is outside the movement display content display area Re2 (here, part of the action record content 24) is designated as movement display content that belongs to the second movement display content group 20b, and is added to the second movement display content group 20b and removed from the first movement display content group 20a. In this embodiment, an area for displaying the second movement display content group 20b is not set, so part of the action record content 24 that has come to belong to the second movement display content group (i.e., the part of the action record content 24 that is outside the movement display content display area Re2) is not displayed.

[0045] FIG. 9 shows an example of the display on the screen Sc of the touch panel display 12 in a state where the display mode has changed due to a further upward movement instruction. At this time, the display position of the action record content 24, which is the first part of the series of movement display content, moves further upward and out of the movement display content display area Re2. Then, as shown in FIG. 9 , when the entire action record content 24 moves out of the movement display content display area Re2, the lower end portion of the action record content 24 is added to the second movement display content group 20b and removed from the first movement display content group 20a. As a result, the entire action record content 24 belongs to the second movement display content group 20b, and the entire action record content 24 no longer belongs to the first movement display content group 20a, so the action record content 24 is no longer displayed on the screen Sc.

[0046] 7, 8, and 9, in the first display pattern, an upward movement instruction for a series of moving display contents causes each of the contents to move upward in conjunction with one another within the moving display content display area Re2. When a content (including a portion of the content) located at the top of the series of moving display contents and displayed at the top of the moving display content display area Re2 moves out of the moving display content display area Re2, that portion is added to the second moving display content group 20b and removed from the first moving display content group 20a, thereby becoming hidden. When the entire content moves out of the moving display content display area Re2, that entire content is added to the second moving display content group 20b and removed from the first moving display content group 20a, and is no longer displayed on the screen Sc.

[0047] By displaying each content according to the first display pattern in this manner, the user can compare blood pressure with activity, step count, and weight history and check changes and interrelationships, such as causal relationships, by sequentially switching between content displayed at the top of the moving content display area Re2, i.e., the area adjacent to the blood pressure content 23, while keeping the fixed content, i.e., blood pressure history, displayed in the fixed content display area Re1. Even on devices 1 such as smartphones with limited display area, such as the touch panel display 12, by simply swiping within the moving content display area Re2, the user can easily compare each content by sequentially moving the content to a display position close to the blood pressure and easy to see at a glance. Furthermore, by hiding content that has moved out of the moving content display area Re2 among the series of content arranged vertically, display space for other content can be secured, making it easier to understand the information displayed in each displayed content. Here, we have described a case where, when a part of a moving display content displayed in the moving display content display area Re2 goes outside the upper display area of ​​the moving display content display area Re2, only the part that has gone outside the display area is added to the second moving display content group 20b and removed from the first moving display content group 20a, while the part that is inside the display area remains in the first moving display content group 20a. However, when even a part of a moving display content goes outside the upper display area of ​​the moving display content display area Re2, the entire content may be immediately added to the second moving display content group 20b and removed from the first moving display content group 20a. In this case, when a part of the first content displayed in the moving display content display area Re2 goes outside the screen, the entire content is immediately hidden on the screen.Furthermore, in this case, a blank space will be created between the top end of the moving display content display area Re2 and the top end of the second content displayed within the moving display content display area Re2, but it is possible to do nothing about this blank space and have the blank space gradually shrink as the entire moving display content moves upward, or, when the first content becomes hidden and a blank space is created, the display positions of the second and subsequent contents, i.e., the series of moving display contents displayed within the moving display content display area Re2 at that time, may be immediately moved upward by the height of the blank space and displayed to align with the top end of the moving display content display area Re2.

[0048] Here, the display control has been described in terms of controlling the display of the screen Sc of the touch panel display 12 so that, in response to an upward movement instruction input by a user, the display of the screen Sc changes from the state shown in Fig. 7 (initial state) to the displays shown in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 . When the user inputs a downward (-Y direction) movement instruction for the series of movement display contents displayed in the movement display content display area Re2, the display control is performed so that the display of the screen Sc changes in the reverse order of the upward (+Y direction) movement instruction (this also applies to the display patterns and examples described below). For example, when the screen Sc of the touch panel display 12 is in the state shown in Fig. 9 , if a downward (-Y direction) movement instruction is input, the display of the screen Sc moves downward as a whole, from the image shown in Fig. 9 . As a result, the step count content 25 and the weight content 26 move downward within the movement display content display area Re2, and all of the weight content 26 and a portion of the bottom edge of the step count content 25 are hidden. As a result, space is created at the upper end of the moving display content display area Re2, making it possible to display part of the content included in the second moving display content group 20b within the moving display content display area Re2.Therefore, part of the lower end of the behavior record content 24, which is the last element added to the second moving display content group 20b, is removed from the second moving display content group 20b and added to the beginning of the first moving display content group 20a.As a result, part of the lower end of the behavior record content 24 added to the beginning of the first moving display content group 20a is displayed in the part near the fixed display content display area within the moving display content display area Re2, which displays the content included in the first moving display content group 20a as a series of moving display contents, and as a whole, the display on the screen Sc of the touch panel display 12 becomes the state shown in Figure 8. A similar process is performed by a further downward movement instruction, resulting in all of the behavior record content 24 being removed from the second movement display content group 20b and added to the beginning of the first movement display content group 20a, and all of the behavior record content 24 being displayed within the movement display content display area Re2, returning to the state shown in Figure 7.Even if the user inputs an instruction to move downward (in the -Y direction) from the screen Sc of the touch panel display 12 in a state in which the screen Sc is in the middle of changing from the image shown in Figure 7 to the image shown in Figure 8 and then to the image shown in Figure 9, the same processing is performed and the display of the screen Sc changes.

[0049] (Second Display Pattern) Hereinafter, a second display pattern, which is a display control method on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1 for each of the contents exemplified in FIG. 3, will be described.

[0050] Figure 10 shows the display of the screen Sc of the touch panel display 12 in the second display pattern when the user inputs an upward movement instruction from the state shown in Figure 7. In response to the user's movement instruction, the vertical heights of the fixed display content display area Re1 and the moving display content display area Re2 are first changed, followed by a series of movements of the moving display content within the moving display content display area Re2. Specifically, the height of the moving display content display area Re2 is expanded from the height H1 in normal display shown in Figure 7 to the height H2 in enlarged display shown in Figure 10 (H2 > H1), and simultaneously the fixed display content display area Re1 is reduced by the vertical height H2 - H1. At this time, the blood pressure content 23, which is the fixed display content displayed in the fixed display content display area Re1, becomes the blood pressure content 23shr, which is reduced in the vertical direction while maintaining its display content. Furthermore, the relative positions of the series of moving display contents within the display area Re2 do not change at this point, and as the moving display content display area Re2 expands (i.e., the top edge of the moving display content display area Re2 moves upward on the screen Sc), the display positions of the series of moving display contents within the screen Sc also move upward, and as a result of the expansion of the portion displayed within the moving display content display area Re2, all of the step count content 25 is displayed within the moving display content display area Re2. Here, the height of the display area corresponds to the length in the direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction of the display area of ​​the present invention. Furthermore, the vertical heights H1 and H2 of the moving display content display area Re2 correspond to the first predetermined length and the second predetermined length of the present invention, respectively.

[0051] In the examples shown in Figures 7 and 10, only blood pressure content 23 is displayed in the fixed content display area Re1, but if there are multiple fixed content items in the fixed content group and the height of the fixed content display area Re1 in which the multiple fixed content items are displayed becomes smaller, the height of the display area of ​​each fixed content item will become smaller while maintaining the ratio of the heights of the respective display areas of the multiple fixed content items displayed in the fixed content display area Re1.

[0052] The expansion of the moving display content display area Re2 stops when it reaches a predetermined height H2 shown in Fig. 10. Fig. 11 shows a case where the display mode is further changed from the state shown in Fig. 10 in response to an upward movement instruction from the user. As described above, the upward expansion of the moving display content display area Re2 stops when the height of the moving display content display area Re2 reaches the predetermined height H2. Therefore, if the input instruction from the user exceeds an amount equivalent to H2-H1, after the height of the fixed display content display area Re1 is reduced and the height of the moving display content display area Re2 is expanded, a series of movements of the moving display content within the moving display content display area Re2 occurs. The movement of the series of movement display contents within the movement display content display area Re2 is similar to that described in the first display pattern, in that the portion of the series of movement display contents that has moved outside the movement display content display area Re2 is added to the second movement display content group 20b and removed from the first movement display content group 20a, and in the second display pattern, as in the first display pattern, no area is set to display the second movement display content group 20b, and therefore the second display pattern is hidden. Furthermore, as the display position of the series of movement display contents moves upward on the screen Sc, the weight content 26 adjacent to and below the step count content 25 also comes to be displayed within the movement display content display area Re2.

[0053] As described above, in the second display pattern, in response to an upward movement instruction from the user, first, the height of the moving display content display area Re2 increases and the height of the fixed display content display area Re1 decreases. Then, as shown in FIG. 10 , after the expansion of the moving display content display area Re2 and the reduction of the fixed display content display area Re1 are completed, the series of moving display contents displayed in the moving display content display area Re2 move upward relative to the moving display content display area Re2. Until the expansion of the moving display content display area Re2 and the reduction of the fixed display content display area Re1 are completed, the display positions on the screen Sc of the series of moving display contents displayed in the moving display content display area Re2 move upward as the height of the moving display content display area Re2 increases, but the display positions relative to the moving display content display area Re2 do not change, and only the display range of the lower end portion of the series of moving display contents expands as the moving display content display area Re2 expands.

[0054] FIG. 12 shows a case where the display mode is further changed from the state shown in FIG. 11 by a user's instruction to move upward. As shown in FIG. 12 , as the display position of the series of movement display contents moves upward, the portion of the action record content 24 that moves outside the movement display content display area Re2 gradually expands from the upper end, and the portion remaining within the movement display content display area Re2 gradually becomes smaller. Even in this case, the portion of the action record content 24 that is outside the movement display content display area Re2 is added to the second movement display content group 20b and removed from the first movement display content group 20a, thereby becoming hidden. Furthermore, as the display position of the series of movement display contents moves upward on the screen Sc, the step count content 25 and weight content 26, which are located below the series of movement display contents, are displayed within the movement display content display area Re2 on the screen Sc.

[0055] By changing the display mode in accordance with the second display pattern in this way, the user can compare the blood pressure history for each day of the week horizontally with the activity, step count, and weight history, which are also arranged horizontally for each day of the week, to confirm changes in each history and interrelationships such as causal relationships. Even on a device 1 such as a smartphone with a limited display area, such as a touch panel display 12, the fixed display content display area Re1 is large in the initial state, resulting in a large display area for the blood pressure content 23, making it easy to grasp the information in the blood pressure content 23 itself. When moving a series of moving display content, the area of ​​the fixed display content display area Re1 shrinks and the moving display content display area Re2 expands, thereby widening the display area for the series of moving display content displayed in the moving display content display area Re2. This makes it easier to display more information at once and compare each piece of information. Furthermore, by moving the desired content within the moving display content display area Re2 to a display position close to the blood pressure and easily visible at a glance, each piece of content can be easily compared. Furthermore, by hiding content that has moved out of the moving content display area Re2 among a series of contents arranged in a vertical line, it is possible to secure display area for other content, making it easier to grasp the information displayed in each displayed content.

[0056] In the second display pattern, an example has been described in which the height of the moving display content display area Re2 expands upward by moving the upper end of the moving display content display area Re2 upward (in the direction in which the moving display content group 20 moves) in response to an instruction such as scrolling initially input from the screen Sc (see FIG. 7 ) displayed on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1. However, the moving display content display area Re2 and the fixed display content display area Re1 are not limited to being set by dividing (a part of) a limited display area such as the screen Sc of the touch panel display 12. That is, if the end of the moving display content display area Re2 facing opposite to the direction in which the moving display content group 20 moves (downward in the above example) does not contact the end of the screen Sc facing opposite to the direction in which the moving display content group 20 moves, the end of the moving display content display area Re2 facing opposite to the direction in which the moving display content group 20 moves may move in the opposite direction to the direction in which the moving display content group 20 moves, thereby expanding the height of the moving display content display area Re2 in the opposite direction to the direction in which the moving display content group 20 moves.

[0057] In the above example, the moving display content display area Re2 is enlarged by an instruction such as scrolling that is first input from the screen Sc (see FIG. 7 ) displayed on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1. However, the moving display content display area Re2 may be reduced by an instruction such as scrolling that is first input (in this case, the height of the fixed display content display area Re1 is increased). Such reduction of the moving display content display area Re2 may be achieved by moving the upper end of the moving display content display area Re2 in the opposite direction (downward in the above example) to the direction in which the moving display content group 20 moves (upward in the above example). Alternatively, the reduction may be achieved by moving the lower end of the moving display content display area Re2 in the direction in which the moving display content group 20 moves (upward in the above example).

[0058] In the above-mentioned terminal 1, the moving display content display area Re2 and the fixed display content display area Re1 are displayed on the same touch panel display 12, so the horizontal width (length in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction) of both is the same, but the widths of the moving display content display area Re2 and the fixed display content display area Re1 may be different.

[0059] Here, when the height of the moving display content display area Re2 is expanded as described above, the relative positional relationship between the moving display content display area Re2 and a display surface such as the screen Sc can take on various positions depending on the configuration of the display surface. As the moving display content display area Re2 expands, the entire moving display content display area Re2 may move upward (in the direction in which the moving display content group 20 moves) relative to the display surface, or may move downward (in the opposite direction to the direction in which the moving display content group 20 moves). Furthermore, at this time, the relative positional relationship between the moving display content group 20 and the moving display content display area Re2 may also vary. That is, the moving display content group 20 may move together with the moving display content display area Re2, or only the moving display content display area Re2 may move.

[0060] The overall positional relationship between the moving display content display area Re2 and the display surface, and the relative positional relationship between the moving display content display area Re2 and the moving display content group 20, are the same even when the moving display content display area Re2 is reduced.

[0061] <Example 2> An information display system 100 according to Example 2 will be described below. Configurations common to Example 1 will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. The configuration of the information display system 100, including the configuration of the terminal 1, is common to Example 1. Only the method of displaying each content on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1 is different.

[0062] (Third Display Pattern) Hereinafter, a third display pattern, which is a display control method on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1 for each of the contents exemplified in FIG. 3, will be described.

[0063] 13 shows an example of the display mode of the screen Sc according to the third display pattern. Here, a case will be described in which step count content 25, weight content 26, sleep time content 27, and calorie consumption content 28 are selected as movement display content. Therefore, the series of movement display content is composed of, from the top, step count content 25, weight content 26, sleep time content 27, and calorie consumption content 28. Because the step count content 25 is the first content in the series of movement display content, the step count content 25 is displayed at the top of the movement display content display area Re2, and the weight content 26, which fits on the screen Sc, is displayed below the step count content 25 based on the content arrangement order.

[0064] FIG. 14 shows a case where the display state changes from the display state shown in FIG. 13 in response to an upward movement instruction from the user. As with the second display pattern, the user's upward movement instruction increases the height of the moving display content display area Re2 and reduces the fixed display content display area Re1. The height of the moving display content display area Re2 increases from height H1 shown in FIG. 13 to height H3 (H3 > H1) shown in FIG. 14. As the moving display content display area Re2 expands, the vertical height of the fixed display content display area Re1 decreases, but the displayed content of the blood pressure content 23 remains unchanged, and the vertically reduced blood pressure content 23shr2 is displayed. Also, as with the second display pattern, the relative positions of the series of moving display contents within the moving display content display area Re2 do not change at this point, so the sleeping time content 27 is displayed below the expanded moving display content display area Re2. The vertical heights H1 and H3 of the moving display content display area Re2 correspond to the first and second predetermined lengths, respectively, of the present invention.

[0065] FIG. 15 shows a case where the display mode is further changed from the state shown in FIG. 14 by a user's instruction to move upward. At this time, as shown in FIG. 15 , a second moving display content display area Re22 is set on the screen Sc, overlapping the fixed display content display area Re1, and displays moving display content belonging to the second moving display content group 20b. In relation to the second moving display content display area Re22, the previous moving display content display area Re2, which is positioned adjacent to and below the fixed display content display area Re1 on the screen Sc, is referred to as the first moving display content display area Re21. The second moving display content display area Re22 has the same length (width) as the fixed display content display area Re1 in the horizontal direction (X direction) of the screen Sc, and is set at a position and height such that it overlaps at least a portion of the fixed display content display area Re1 in the vertical direction (Y direction) of the screen Sc. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15 , the second movement display content display area Re22 is set at the same position and height as the fixed display content display area Re1 in the up-down direction of the screen Sc. In response to an upward movement instruction from the user, the display position of the step count content 25, which is the first content of the series of movement display contents displayed in the first movement display content display area Re21, moves upward until the entirety of the content moves outside the first movement display content display area Re21. The entire step count content 25 is added to the second movement display content group 20b and removed from the first movement display content group 20a. In the third display pattern, control is performed to display the content belonging to the second movement display content group 20b in the second movement display content display area Re22 with transparency processing. As a result, the step count content 25 is displayed overlapping the blood pressure content 23. The following display modes can be exemplified as the display mode in which the step count content 25 is displayed in the second movement display content display area Re22.That is, the step count content 25 shown in Fig. 16(A) may be made semi-transparent like the step count content 25tr as shown in Fig. 16(B) and displayed in the second movement display content display area Re22 to fit the size of the second movement display content display area Re22, so that it is displayed overlapping with the blood pressure content 23shr2 displayed in the fixed display content display area Re1 as shown in Fig. 16(C), and a superimposed display content 51 in which the blood pressure and the number of steps are superimposed and arranged horizontally corresponding to the same date may be displayed on the screen Sc as shown in Fig. 16(D). Furthermore, when displaying the step count content 25 in the second movement display content display area Re22, the title and axis may be displayed to the right of the content as in the step count content 25tr2 shown in Fig. 16(E), or only the graph may be made transparent while the numbers and letters are displayed normally without being made transparent as shown in Fig. 16(F). Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 16(G), when displaying the step count content 25 with a transparent effect in the second movement display content display area Re22, the step count graph and the blood pressure graph are offset by shifting the transparent step count content by about half the width of the date, thereby enabling a more easily understandable display. In addition to these transparency effects, it is also possible to allocate the display positions of the numerical values ​​on the graphs to each indicator when superimposing the data, as shown in FIG. 16(D) and FIG. 16(G). Note that, regardless of the height of the movement display content (e.g., the step count content 25) added to the second movement display content group 20b, it may be scaled to match the height of the second movement display content display area Re22. As a result, as shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, for example, the blood pressure content 23 and the step count content 25 can be displayed transparently and superimposed with the same height, allowing for a more direct comparison of the two pieces of information. Also, at this time, as shown in Figure 15, the series of movement display contents consisting of the first movement display content group 20a is arranged in the order of weight content 26, sleep time content 27, and calorie consumption content 28, since the step count content 25 has been removed from the first movement display content group 20a, and up to a portion of the calorie consumption content 28 is displayed within the first movement display content display area Re21.Here, the first movement display content display area Re21 corresponds to the first movement display content display area of ​​the present invention, and the second movement display content display area Re22 corresponds to the second movement display content display area of ​​the present invention.

[0066] As described above, when the moving display content group 20 displayed in the moving display content display area Re2 is moved upward on the screen Sc in response to a user operation, the height of the moving display content display area Re2 first increases and the height of the fixed display content display area Re1 decreases from the initial state shown in Fig. 13. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 14, the content such as the step count content 25 displayed in the expanded moving display content display area Re2 moves upward relative to the moving display content display area Re2 and is displayed in the second moving display content display area Re22.

[0067] 13, 14, and 15, the fixed content displayed in the fixed content display area Re1 is only one, the blood pressure content 23. However, multiple fixed content items can also be displayed in the fixed content display area Re1. When multiple fixed content items are displayed in the fixed content display area Re1, the second moving content display area Re22 may be set to be at the same position and vertical height as the display area of ​​any one or more of the fixed content items. Multiple such second moving content display areas Re22 may be provided. In this case, a portion of the fixed content display area Re1 that does not overlap with the second moving content display area Re22 is set as a non-stop area. When the moving content moves within the fixed content display area Re1, the non-stop area is transparently displayed so as to be superimposed on the fixed content item when it moves within the second moving content display area Re22, the boundary between them, or within the non-stop area. However, when the moving display content stops on the screen Sc, the display position is controlled so that the moving display content is displayed within one of the second moving display content display areas Re22. That is, the display of the moving display content does not remain in a non-stop area or is not displayed stopped across multiple second moving display content display areas Re22.

[0068] Figure 17 shows a case where the display mode is further changed from the state shown in Figure 15 by a user's instruction to move upward. In the state shown in Figure 17, the display positions of the moving display content, such as the sleep time content 27 and the calorie consumption content 28, move upward as part of the moving display content group 20. Meanwhile, the step count content 25 and the weight content 26 move to the second moving display content group 20b and are transparently displayed and superimposed in the second moving display content display area Re22 that overlaps with the fixed display content display area Re1, which is the display area of ​​the blood pressure content 23shr2. In the example of Figure 17, the step count content 25tr, which has previously moved as part of the second moving display content group 20b to the second moving display content display area Re22 that overlaps with the fixed display content display area Re1, which is the display area of ​​the blood pressure content 23shr2, is displayed on the front side (+Z direction) of the blood pressure content shr2 without changing its display position. That is, the semi-transparent step count content 25tr shown in FIG. 18(B) is superimposed on the front side (+Z direction) of the blood pressure content 23shr2 in the normal display mode shown in FIG. 18(A), and is further superimposed on the semi-transparent weight content 26tr that has been subjected to transparency processing as shown in FIG. 18(C). As a result, as shown in FIG. 18(D), the superimposed display content 52 is displayed, which is composed of blood pressure, step count, and weight, each arranged horizontally corresponding to the same date. Note that the vertical height of the display areas for the movement display content, such as the step count content 25 and weight content 26, is the same as the vertical height of the second movement display content display area Re22. Furthermore, as the movement display content group 20 moves upward on the screen Sc, the sleeping time content 27 arranged below the weight content 26 and the calorie consumption content 28 adjacent to and below the sleeping time content 27 are displayed on the screen Sc of the touch panel display 12.

[0069] By displaying each content item according to the third display pattern in this manner, the user can compare the blood pressure history for each day of the week horizontally with the history of activities, steps, weight, sleep time, calories burned, etc., which are also arranged horizontally for each day of the week, to check changes in each item and interrelationships such as causal relationships. Furthermore, the system provides a normal display that makes it easy to grasp the information on the blood pressure content 23 itself, and a reduced display with a smaller vertical height. This increases the display area of ​​the content displayed in the moving display content display area Re2, making it easier to grasp and compare the information. Furthermore, among the series of content items arranged vertically, content items that have been moved to the second moving display content display area Re22 outside the first moving display content display area Re21 are displayed overlapping the blood pressure content 23shr2. This allows for a more direct understanding of day-to-day comparisons of blood pressure and other indicators, such as steps, as well as comparisons of changes over a week and their interrelationships, and also improves the ease of viewing.

[0070] <Modification of Example 2> (Fourth Display Pattern) The following describes a fourth display pattern, which is a display control method for touch panel display 12. In the fourth display pattern, the display pattern of each content on screen Sc shown in Fig. 13 to Fig. 15 is the same as that of the third display pattern, but the display of each content on screen Sc shown in Fig. 15 and thereafter is unique to the fourth display pattern.

[0071] Figure 19 shows a case where the display mode is further changed from the state shown in Figure 15 by a user's instruction to move upward. In Figure 15, the step count content 25 is moved from the first movement display content group 20a to the second movement display content group 20b, whereby the step count content 25tr is displayed in a semi-transparent form overlapping the front (+Z direction) of the blood pressure content 23shr2 in the normal display mode. Consider the case where the display position of the weight content 26 is further moved upward to the second movement display content display area Re22, which overlaps with the fixed display content display area Re1. In this case, in the example shown in Figure 19, there is only one movement display content belonging to the second movement display content group 20b. That is, there is only one content displayed overlapping the front side of the blood pressure content 23shr2 in the normal display mode (i.e., not semi-transparent). In this case, when the weight content 26 moves to the second movement display content group 20b and its display position newly moves to the second movement display content display area Re22 (fixed display content display area Re1), the step count content 25tr, which was previously displayed on the front side of the blood pressure content 23shr2, moves to the third movement display content group 20c. In the example shown in FIG. 19 , a movement display content display area for the third movement display content group 20c is not set, so as a result, the step count content 25tr is no longer displayed in the second movement display content display area Re22. Then, the superimposed display content 56, in which the semi-transparent weight content 26tr is superimposed on the front side of the blood pressure content 23tr in the normal display mode, is displayed on the screen Sc. Note that the height of the second movement display content display area Re22, in which the second movement display content group 20b is displayed, is set to the same height as the fixed display content display area Re1, in which the fixed display content is displayed. When moving from the first movement display content group 20a to the second movement display content group 20b, the vertical height of the display areas of the movement display content such as the step count content 25 and weight content 26 becomes the same as the vertical height of the second movement display content display area Re22. Furthermore, the vertical height of each movement display content changes continuously during vertical movement on the screen Sc.As shown in Figure 19, as the display position of the weight content 26 moves upward from the first movement display content display area Re21 to the second movement display content display area Re22, the display positions of the adjacent sleeping time content 27 located below and the adjacent calorie expenditure content 28 located below the sleeping time content 27 also move upward. Although not shown in Figure 19, when the display position of the sleeping time content 27 moves upward from the first movement display content display area Re21 to the second movement display content display area Re22, the weight content 26tr is hidden. Instead, the sleeping time content 27 becomes semi-transparent and is displayed on the front side of the blood pressure content 23shr2. The same applies when the display position of the calorie expenditure content 28 moves from the first movement display content display area Re21 to the second movement display content display area Re22. As described above, when the weight content 26 moves to the second movement display content group 20b in response to an upward movement instruction from the user, and its display position moves to the second movement display content display area Re22, the step count content 25tr moves to the third movement display content group 20c. In this state, if the user inputs a downward (−Y direction) movement instruction for the series of movement display contents displayed in the movement display content display area Re2, the display is controlled so that the display on the screen Sc changes in the reverse order of the upward (+Y direction) movement instruction (this also applies to the display patterns and examples described below). For example, when the user inputs a downward (−Y direction) movement instruction, the step count content 25tr, which had been hidden by moving to the third movement display content group 20c, returns from the third movement display content group 20c to the second movement display content group 20b and is redisplayed in the second movement display content display area Re22. Moreover, the weight content 26 returns to the first movement display content group 20a, and its display position returns to the first movement display content display area Re21.

[0072] By displaying each content according to the fourth display pattern in this way, the user can compare and confirm the blood pressure history for each day of the week horizontally with the history of activities, steps, weight, sleep time, calories burned, etc., which are also arranged horizontally for each day of the week. Furthermore, even on devices 1 such as smartphones with limited display area, such as the touch panel display 12, the display area for the blood pressure content 23 is large, and the device provides a normal display that makes it easy to grasp the information about the blood pressure content 23 itself, and a reduced display that is smaller in height vertically. This increases the display area for the content displayed in the moving display content display area Re2, making it easier to grasp and compare the information. Furthermore, by moving the desired content within the moving display content display area Re2 to a display position close to the blood pressure and easily visible at a glance, the user can easily compare the content. Furthermore, among the series of contents arranged vertically in the moving display content display area Re2, by overlaying the translucent content moved to the second moving display content display area Re22 outside the first moving display content display area Re21 with the blood pressure content 23shr2 in the normal display mode, it becomes easier to compare blood pressure with other indicators such as the number of steps taken on a day-to-day basis or to compare changes over a week. Furthermore, since the number of contents displayed overlaid with the blood pressure content 23shr2 is limited to one, it is easy to grasp and compare the information of each of the superimposed contents. Since the content displayed overlaid with the blood pressure content 23shr2 moves out of the first moving display content display area Re21, a display area for other contents can be secured within the first moving display content display area Re21, making it easier to grasp the information displayed in each displayed content.

[0073] Here, the case where the number of movement display contents belonging to the second movement display content group 20b (the predetermined number of the present invention) is 1 has been described. However, it may be set to any suitable number equal to or greater than 1. In this case, a set number of movement display contents are displayed side by side (in the +Z direction) on the front side of the blood pressure content 23shr2 displayed in the normal display mode in the fixed display content display area Re1. That is, a set number of semi-transparent movement display contents remain on the front side of the blood pressure content 23shr2 displayed in the normal display mode. In the example of the fourth display pattern shown in FIG. 19 , the fixed display content displayed in the fixed display content display area Re1 is the reduced-sized blood pressure content 23shr2. In the movement display content display area Re2, the movement display content displayed in the second movement display content display area Re22 superimposed on the fixed display content display area Re1 is the semi-transparent weight content 26tr. In the movement display content display area Re2, the movement display content displayed in the first movement display content display area Re21 is the sleeping time content 27 and the calorie consumption content 28.

[0074] <Example 3> An information display system 100 according to Example 3 will be described below. The same reference numerals will be used to designate components common to the above-described examples, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted. The configuration of the information display system 100, including the configuration of the terminal 1, is common to Example 1. Only the method of displaying each content on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1 is different.

[0075] (Fifth Display Pattern) The following describes the fifth display pattern, which is a display control method for each content (behavior record content 24 is omitted) illustrated in Fig. 13 on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1. The display pattern of screen Sc in the fifth display pattern is the same as the third display pattern described above for the display patterns of each content from screen Sc shown in Fig. 13 to screen Sc shown in Fig. 15, but the display of each content after screen Sc shown in Fig. 15 is unique to the fifth display pattern.

[0076] In the fifth display pattern, the screen changes from that shown in FIG. 15 to one different from that shown in FIG. 17. In FIG. 15, the step count content 25tr is displayed superimposed on the blood pressure content 23shr2 displayed in the normal display mode. Here, FIG. 20 shows a case where the display mode is further changed from this state by a user's instruction to move it upward. In this example, the superimposed display content 51 with the step count content 25tr is moved from the first movement display content group 20a to the second movement display content group 20b. As a result, the weight content 26 is transparently displayed in addition to the step count content 25 so as to overlap the fixed display content display area Re1 (which is also the second movement display content display area Re22) where the superimposed display content 51 with the blood pressure content 23shr2 and the step count content 25tr is displayed. At this time, the content moved to the second movement display content group 20b is displayed in the second movement display content display area Re22, arranged from above. As a result, on the front side (+Z direction) of the blood pressure content 23shr2, whose vertical height has been reduced, the step count content 25trs is displayed in the upper half of the fixed content display area Re1 in which the blood pressure content 23shr2 is displayed, and the weight content 26trs is displayed in the lower half, corresponding to the same date. That is, as shown in Figure 21(A), the step count content 25tr is made semitransparent and its vertical height is reduced in the vertical direction so that it becomes half the height of the fixed content display area Re1, which is the display area of ​​the blood pressure content 23shr2 displayed in the normal display mode, and it is placed from the upper end of the content display area Re1. Then, as shown in Figure 21(A), the weight content 26 is similarly made semitransparent and displayed adjacent to and below the step count content 25trs, its vertical height is reduced in the vertical direction so that it becomes half the height of the fixed content display area Re1, which is the display area of ​​the blood pressure content 23shr2 displayed in the normal display mode.The step count content 25trs and weight content 26trs arranged vertically overlap the front side (+Z direction) of the blood pressure content 23shr2, which is vertically reduced and displayed in the normal display mode, as shown in Figure 21(B). As shown in Figure 21(C), superimposed display content 53 is displayed, consisting of blood pressure data arranged horizontally for the same date and step count and weight data arranged vertically. Furthermore, as the weight content 26 moves from the first movement display content group 20a to the second movement display content group 20b, the display position of the sleeping time content 27 arranged below the weight content 26 in the first movement display content group 20a moves upward within the first movement display content display area Re21. Furthermore, the calorie consumption content 28 arranged below the sleeping time content 27 enters the first movement display content display area Re21 and is displayed on the screen Sc of the touch panel display 12. In the second moving display content display area Re22, the display area for each content may be the height of the second moving display content display area Re22 divided by the number of contents to be displayed, or each content may be displayed lined up from above at a height corresponding to the ratio of the initial heights of each content in the first moving display content group 20a.

[0077] By displaying each content according to the fifth display pattern in this way, the user can compare and confirm the blood pressure history for each day of the week horizontally with the history of activities, steps, weight, sleep time, calories burned, etc., which are also arranged horizontally for each day of the week. Even on devices 1 such as smartphones with limited display area, such as the touch panel display 12, the display area for the blood pressure content 23 is large, and the device provides both a normal display that makes it easy to grasp the information about the blood pressure content 23 itself and a reduced display that is smaller in height vertically. This increases the display area for the content displayed in the first moving content display area Re21, making it easy to grasp and compare the information. Furthermore, by moving the desired content within the first moving content display area Re21 to a display position that is close to the blood pressure displayed in the fixed content display area Re1 and that is easy to see at a glance, the user can easily compare the content. Furthermore, among the series of contents arranged in a vertical line in the first movement display content display area Re21, the contents that have been moved to the second movement display content display area Re22 outside the first movement display content display area Re21 are made semi-transparent and arranged vertically side by side, and are displayed superimposed on the blood pressure content 23shr2 displayed in the normal display mode. This makes it easier to understand day-to-day comparisons of blood pressure with other indicators such as the number of steps and weight, and comparisons of changes over a week.

[0078] The following describes the sixth display pattern, which is a display control method for each content (behavior record content 24 is omitted) illustrated in Fig. 13 on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1. The display pattern of screen Sc in the sixth display pattern is the same as the fifth display pattern described above for the display patterns of each content from screen Sc shown in Fig. 13 to Fig. 15 and from Fig. 15 to Fig. 20, but the display of each content after screen Sc shown in Fig. 20 is unique to the sixth display pattern.

[0079] Figure 22 shows a case where the display mode has changed from the state shown in Figure 20 due to a user's instruction to move upward. In Figure 20, the step count content 25trs was displayed in the upper half of the fixed content display area Re1 where the blood pressure content 23shr2 was displayed, and the weight content 26trs was displayed in the lower half. In contrast, in Figure 22, the sleep time content 27, which was displayed closest to the blood pressure content 23shr2 in the first moving display content display area Re21, has been removed from the first moving display content group 20a and moved to the second moving display content group 20b. As a result, it moves to the fixed content display area Re1 where the blood pressure content 23shr2 was displayed first, and the step count content 25trs, which was superimposed and displayed at the upper end of the fixed content display area Re1, moves to the third moving display content group 20c and is no longer displayed. The display position of the weight content 26trs replaces the step count content 25trs and moves to the upper half of the fixed content display area Re1, and the display position of the sleep time content 27trs, which has been made semi-transparent and has a reduced vertical height, replaces the weight content 26shr and moves to the lower half of the fixed content display area Re1. As a result, the weight content 26trs and the sleep time content 27trs are arranged in the order of movement from the upper end of the fixed content display area Re1 to the fixed content display area Re1 (which is also the second moving display content display area Re22), and the superimposed display content 54 is displayed so as to cover the fixed content display area Re1. Here, the superimposed display content 54 is arranged vertically adjacent to the front side (+Z direction) of the blood pressure content 23shr2 displayed in the normal display mode, and the number of displayed contents is limited to two.

[0080] In the above description, the number of moving display contents displayed in the second moving display content display area Re22 after moving from the first moving display content group 20a to the second moving display content group 20b is two. However, the number may be set to any suitable number, such as three or more. As described above, the moving display contents arranged side by side from the top edge of the fixed display content display area Re1 on the front side of the blood pressure content 23shr2 may be set to the same vertical height, or may be set to the same ratio as the vertical height ratio of the display areas of the respective contents when displayed in the first moving display content display area Re21 in the normal display mode. The heights of the contents belonging to the second moving display content group 20b and displayed in the second moving display content display area Re22 may be set appropriately depending on the number of the moving display contents. In the example of the fifth display pattern shown in FIG. 20 , the fixed display content displayed in the fixed display content display area Re1 is the blood pressure content 23shr2 displayed in a reduced size. Of the movement display content display area Re2, the movement display content displayed in the second movement display content display area Re22, which is displayed superimposed on the fixed display content display area Re1, is a semi-transparent step count content 25trs and a semi-transparent weight content 26trs, and of the movement display content display area Re2, the movement display content displayed in the first movement display content display area Re21 is a sleeping time content 27 and a calorie consumption content 28. Note that Figure 23 illustrates a case where the number of movement display contents displayed in the second movement display content display area Re22 moves from the first movement display content group 20a to the second movement display content group 20b, and is four.

[0081] Furthermore, an upper limit (2 in the above example) may be set in advance for the number of contents that are arranged vertically in the fixed display content display area Re1 (which is also the second moving display content display area Re22) by moving to the second moving display content group 20b and are superimposed on the blood pressure content 23shr2. For example, the upper limit for the number of contents belonging to the second moving display content group 20b may be dynamically determined so that the minimum vertical height of the display area of ​​each moving display content arranged vertically does not fall below a predetermined height (for example, a fixed value or a predetermined percentage such as a % of the vertical height of the second moving display content display area Re22).

[0082] Figure 23 shows a case where the display mode is further changed from the state shown in Figure 20 by a user's instruction to move upward. Here, the number of contents displayed on the front side (+Z direction) of the blood pressure content 23shr2, which is displayed in the normal display mode and has a reduced height due to movement to the second moving display content group 20b, is not limited. Therefore, when the display positions of the four contents, the step count content 25, weight content 26, sleep time content 27, and calorie consumption content 28, are all moved to the fixed display content display area Re1 where the blood pressure content 23shr2 is displayed, the respective contents are reduced in height (here, 1 / 4) according to the number of contents, and are arranged adjacent to each other in the vertical direction and corresponding to the same date in the horizontal direction. As a result, the step count content 25trs2, weight content 26trs2, sleeping time content 27trs2, and calorie consumption content 28trs2 are arranged in order of movement from the upper end of the fixed display content display area Re1 (which is also the second moving display content display area Re22) so as to cover the fixed display content display area Re1. Figure 24 (A) shows a state in which the step count content 25trs2, weight content 26trs2, sleeping time content 27trs2, and calorie consumption content 28trs2 are made semi-transparent and arranged one above the other with their heights reduced to one-quarter. Then, they are displayed superimposed on the front side (+Z direction) of the blood pressure content 23shr2 displayed in the normal display mode shown in Figure 24(B), and as shown in Figure 24(C), the superimposed display content 55 is displayed, which is composed of the blood pressure content 23shr2 arranged horizontally corresponding to the same date, and the step count content 25trs2, weight content 26trs2, sleeping time content 27trs2, and calorie consumption content 28trs2 arranged vertically.

[0083] By displaying each content according to the seventh display pattern in this way, the user can compare and confirm the blood pressure history for each day of the week horizontally with the history of activities, steps, weight, sleep time, calories burned, etc., which are also arranged horizontally for each day of the week. Even on devices 1 such as smartphones with limited display area, such as the touch panel display 12, the display area for the blood pressure content 23 is large, and the device provides a normal display that makes it easy to grasp the information about the blood pressure content 23 itself, and a reduced display that is smaller in height vertically. This increases the display area for the content displayed in the first moving display content display area Re21, making it easy to grasp and compare the information. Furthermore, by moving the desired content within the first moving display content display area Re21 to a display position close to the blood pressure and easy to see at a glance, it is easy to compare the various contents. Furthermore, among the series of contents arranged vertically, the content moved to the second moving display content display area Re22 outside the first moving display content display area Re21 is arranged vertically and displayed superimposed on the blood pressure content 23shr2 displayed in the normal display mode. This makes it easier to compare blood pressure with other indicators, such as the number of steps, on a day-to-day basis or to compare changes over a week. Since the number of superimposed contents is limited to two, visibility is high. Furthermore, since the number of contents superimposed on the blood pressure content 23shr2 is not limited, the content superimposed on the blood pressure content 23shr2 is arranged vertically. This allows for comparison of a variety of indicators. The content superimposed on the blood pressure content 23shr2 moves to the second moving display content display area Re22 outside the first moving display content display area Re21. This allows for a display area for other content within the first moving display content display area Re21, making it easier to understand the information displayed in each displayed content. In the example of the seventh display pattern shown in FIG. 23 , the fixed display content displayed in the fixed display content display area Re1 is the blood pressure content 23shr2 displayed in a reduced size.Of the movement display content display area Re2, the movement display content displayed in the second movement display content display area Re22, which is displayed superimposed on the fixed display content display area Re1, is a semi-transparent step count content 25trs2, weight content 26trs2, sleep time content 27trs2, and calorie consumption content 28trs2. In Figure 23, of the movement display content display area Re2, no movement display content is displayed in the first movement display content display area Re21.

[0084] <Example 4> An information display system 100 according to Example 4 will be described below. Configurations common to the above-mentioned examples will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. The configuration of the information display system 100, including the configuration of the terminal 1, is common to Example 1. Only the method of displaying each content on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1 is different.

[0085] (Sixth Display Pattern) The following describes the sixth display pattern, which is a display control method for each content (behavior record content 24 is omitted) illustrated in Fig. 13 on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1. The display pattern of screen Sc in the sixth display pattern is the same as the third display pattern described above for the display patterns of each content up to screen Sc shown in Fig. 13, but the display of each content after screen Sc shown in Fig. 13 is unique to the sixth display pattern.

[0086] Fig. 25 shows an example of a change from the state shown in Fig. 13 to a screen different from that shown in Fig. 14. In Fig. 14, with the display position of the moving display content group 20 moving upward from the screen Sc shown in Fig. 13 in a state where all of the step count contents 25 adjacent to the blood pressure content 23shr2 below are displayed, the vertical height of the moving display content display area Re2 increases from height H1 in Fig. 13 to height H3 in Fig. 14 as the display position of the step count contents 25 adjacent to the blood pressure content 23 below moves upward. Similarly, in the screen Sc shown in Fig. 25, the vertical height of the moving display content display area Re2 increases from height H1 in Fig. 13 to height H4 in Fig. 25 (H4 > H1) as the display position of the step count contents 25 adjacent to the blood pressure content 23 moves upward. The height of the fixed display content display area Re1, which is the display area for the blood pressure content 23shr3 in Fig. 25, may be the same as or different from the height of the fixed display content display area Re1, which is the display area for the blood pressure content 23shr2 in Fig. 14. From the state shown in Fig. 25 , the display position of the movement display content group 20, including the step count content 25 and the weight content 26, is moved upward on the screen Sc. Then, as shown in Fig. 26 , the step count content 25, which belonged to the first movement display content group 20a, is moved to the second movement display content group 20b. Then, in the second movement display content display area Re22 in Fig. 26 , the vertical height of the display area for the step count content 25 adjacent to and below the blood pressure content 23shr3 is reduced from height H5 in Fig. 25 to height H6 in Fig. 26 , and the vertically reduced step count content 25shr3 is displayed on the screen Sc in Fig. 26 . At this time, as the display positions of the weight content 26 and the sleeping time content 27 move upward, a portion of the calorie expenditure content 28 adjacent to and below the sleeping time content 27 enters the movement display content display area Re2 and is displayed on the screen Sc.

[0087] As shown in FIG. 25 , after the fixed display content display area Re1 has been vertically reduced and the moving display content display area Re2 has been vertically expanded, the display position of the moving display content group 20, including the step count content 25, weight content 26, and sleep time content 27, is further moved upward within the moving display content display area Re2 on the screen Sc. Then, as shown in FIG. 26 , the step count content 25, which is displayed adjacent to and below the blood pressure content and closest to the fixed display content display area Re1 within the moving display content display area Re2, moves from the first moving display content group 20a to the second moving display content group 20b. The content belonging to the second moving display content group 20b is then reduced in size. That is, the vertical height of the display area for the step count content 25 gradually decreases as the display position of the weight content 26 moves upward. 27 , when the display position of the weight content 26 moves to a position adjacent to and below the fixed display content display area Re1, which is the display area for the blood pressure content 23shr3, i.e., to the position closest to the blood pressure content 23shr3 in the moving display content display area Re2, the content belonging to the second moving display content group 20b moves to the third moving display content group 20c, the display area for the step count content 25shr3 disappears, and the step count content 25shr3 is no longer displayed. At this time, as the display position of the weight content 26 moves upward on the screen Sc, the calorie expenditure content 28 adjacent to and below the sleep time content 27 enters the moving display content display area Re2 and is displayed on the screen Sc of the touch panel display 12. As such, as the display position of the moving display content group 20 displayed in the moving display content display area Re2 adjacent to and below the blood pressure content 23shr3 moves upward, the vertical height of the display area for the content adjacent to and below the blood pressure content 23shr3 gradually decreases, and eventually the display area disappears and is no longer displayed. Since each piece of content is arranged horizontally corresponding to the same date, the horizontal correspondence between the pieces of content is maintained even when the display position is moved upward and the display area is reduced vertically.

[0088] By displaying each content according to the sixth display pattern, the user can compare and confirm the blood pressure history for each day of the week horizontally with the history of activities, steps, weight, sleep time, calories burned, etc., which are also arranged horizontally for each day of the week. Even on devices 1 such as smartphones with limited display area, such as the touch panel display 12, the display area for the blood pressure content 23 is large, and the device provides a normal display that makes it easy to grasp the information about the blood pressure content 23 itself, and a reduced display with a smaller vertical height. This increases the display area for the content displayed in the moving display content display area Re2, making it easy to grasp and compare the information. Furthermore, by moving the desired content within the moving display content display area Re2 to a display position close to the blood pressure content and easy to see at a glance, it is easy to compare the various contents. Furthermore, among the series of contents arranged vertically in the moving display content display area Re2, the content displayed closest to the blood pressure content 23shr3 is gradually reduced in vertical height and eventually hidden. This ensures sufficient display area for other content and enables comparison of various indicators, including blood pressure. In the example of the seventh display pattern shown in Fig. 26 , the fixed display content displayed in the fixed display content display area Re1 is a reduced-sized version of the blood pressure content 23shr3. The movement display content displayed in the movement display content display area Re2 is the step count content 25shr3, the weight content 26, the sleep time content 27, and the calorie consumption content 28. Note that in Fig. 27 , the step count content 25shr3 is hidden, and the movement display content displayed in the movement display content display area Re2 is the weight content 26, the sleep time content 27, and the calorie consumption content 28.

[0089] <Example 5> An information display system 100 according to Example 5 will be described below. Configurations common to the above-mentioned examples will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. The configuration of the information display system 100, including the configuration of the terminal 1, is common to Example 1. Only the method of displaying each content on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1 is different.

[0090] (Seventh Display Pattern) The following describes the seventh display pattern, which is a display control method for each content (behavior record content 24 is omitted) illustrated in Fig. 13 on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1. The display pattern of screen Sc in the eighth display pattern is the same as the sixth display pattern described above for the display patterns of each content from screen Sc shown in Fig. 13 to screen Sc shown in Fig. 26, but the display of each content after screen Sc shown in Fig. 26 is unique to the seventh display pattern.

[0091] Figure 28 shows an example of a change from the state shown in Figure 26 to a screen different from that shown in Figure 27. In Figure 25, with all of the step count contents 25 adjacent to and below the blood pressure content 23 displayed on the screen Sc shown in Figure 13, as the display position of the movement display content group 20 moves upward on the screen Sc, the vertical height of the fixed display content display area Re1 decreases and the vertical height of the first movement display content display area Re21 increases from height H1 to height H4. When the display position of the movement display content group 20, which includes the step count content 25, weight content 26, and sleep time content 27, is further moved upward within the movement display content display area Re2 on the screen Sc from the state shown in Figure 25, the step count content 25 moves from the first movement display content group 20a to the second movement display content group 20b. As a result, the second movement display content display area Re22 becomes smaller, and as shown in FIG. 26 , the vertical height of the display area of ​​the step count content 25shr3, which is adjacent to and below the blood pressure content 23shr3, decreases from height H5 shown in FIG. 25 to height H6. Furthermore, when the vertical height of the display area of ​​the step count content 25 decreases, the weight content 26, sleep time content 27, and calorie consumption content 28, which are a series of movement display contents arranged below the step count content 25, move upward in accordance with the upward movement of the bottom edge of the display area of ​​the step count content 25 within the movement display content display area Re2. As a result, the weight content 26 adjacent to and below the step count content 25shr3 moves from the first movement display content group 20a to the second movement display content group 20b. As a result, the second movement display content display area Re22 becomes smaller, and the vertical height of the weight content 26 decreases from height H7 shown in FIG. 26 to height H8 shown in FIG. 28 . However, it does not decrease any further and maintains the predetermined height H8. The height H8 of the weight content 26shr3 may be, for example, a fixed value or a predetermined percentage such as c% of the height H7.Furthermore, when the vertical height of the display area of ​​the weight content 26 is reduced, the sleep time content 27 and the calorie consumption content 28, which are a series of movement display contents arranged below the weight content 26, move upward in accordance with the upward movement of the bottom edge of the display area of ​​the weight content 26 within the movement display content display area Re2. Figure 28 shows a state in which the vertical heights of the display areas of the step count content 25shr3 and the weight content 26shr3 have been reduced to predetermined heights H6 and H8 (H8<H7), respectively. These heights H6 and H8 may be predetermined constant values, or may be defined as heights proportional to the heights of the respective contents when they belonged to the first movement display content group 20a. In this state, on the screen Sc, the step count content 25shr3, whose vertical height has also been reduced to a predetermined height H6, is arranged adjacent to and below the blood pressure content 23shr3, whose vertical height has been reduced to a predetermined height H4, within the movement display content display area Re2. Next, adjacent to and below the step count content 25shr3, there is placed weight content 26shr3, the vertical height of which has been similarly reduced to a predetermined height H8, and there is placed sleep time content 27 in the normal display mode below the weight content 26shr3. Because each content is arranged corresponding to the same date in the horizontal direction, the horizontal correspondence between each content is maintained even when the display position is moved upward and the display area is reduced in the vertical direction.

[0092] By displaying each content according to the seventh display pattern in this way, the user can compare and confirm the blood pressure history for each day of the week horizontally with the history of activities, steps, weight, sleep time, calories burned, etc., which are also arranged horizontally for each day of the week. Furthermore, by moving the desired content to a display position within the moving display content display area Re2 that is close to the blood pressure and easy to see at a glance, the user can easily compare each content and improve the visibility. In the example of the seventh display pattern shown in FIG. 28 , the fixed display content displayed in the fixed display content display area Re1 is the reduced-sized blood pressure content 23shr3. The moving display content displayed in the moving display content display area Re2 is the step count content 25shr3, weight content 26shr3, sleep time content 27, and calorie burned content 28.

[0093] (Eighth Display Pattern) The following describes the eighth display pattern, which is a display control method for each content (behavior record content 24 is omitted) illustrated in Fig. 13 on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1. The display pattern of screen Sc in the eighth display pattern is the same as the seventh display pattern described above for the display patterns of each content from screen Sc shown in Fig. 13 to screen Sc shown in Fig. 28, but the display of each content after screen Sc shown in Fig. 28 is unique to the eighth display pattern.

[0094] 29 illustrates a case where the display mode is further changed by a user's instruction to move the step count content 25shr3 and the weight content 26shr3 upward after the vertical reduction of the step count content 25shr3 and the weight content 26shr3 has been completed in the movement display content display area Re2 shown in FIG. Here, as the display positions of the sleeping time content 27 and the calorie consumption content 28 move upward in the movement display content display area Re2, the sleeping time content 27 adjacent to and below the weight content 26shr3 moves from the first movement display content group 20a to the second movement display content group 20b, and the vertical height of the sleeping time content 27 in the second movement display content display area Re22, which is its display area, gradually decreases from height H9 to height H10 shown in FIG. Once the vertical height of the display area of ​​the sleeping time content 27shr3 decreases to a predetermined height H10 (H10<H9), it does not decrease any further and maintains the predetermined height H10. The height H10 of the display area of ​​the sleeping time content 27shr3 may be, for example, a fixed value or a predetermined percentage, such as d% of the height H9. Furthermore, when the vertical height of the display area of ​​the sleeping time content 27 is reduced, the calorie burning content 28, which is a series of content arranged below the sleeping time content 27, moves upward in accordance with the upward movement of the bottom edge of the display area of ​​the sleeping time content 27 within the moving content display area Re2. In this state, a portion of the calorie burning content 28 adjacent to and below the sleeping time content 27shr3 whose vertical height has been reduced is displayed on the screen. Because each content is arranged horizontally corresponding to the same date, the horizontal correspondence between the respective content is maintained even when the display position is moved upward and the display area is reduced vertically.

[0095] By displaying each content according to the eighth display pattern in this way, the user can compare and confirm the blood pressure history for each day of the week horizontally with the history of activities, steps, weight, sleep time, calories burned, etc., which are also arranged horizontally for each day of the week. Furthermore, by moving the desired content to a display position within the moving content display area Re2 that is close to the blood pressure and easily visible at a glance, the comparison of each content becomes easier and the visibility can be improved. Furthermore, among the series of contents arranged vertically in the moving content display area Re2, the content displayed closest to the blood pressure content 23shr3 is reduced in height until the vertical height of the display area reaches a predetermined height. The vertical height of the adjacent content further below is also reduced in height until the vertical height of the display area reaches a predetermined height, and the vertical height of the adjacent content further below is also reduced in height until the vertical height of the display area reaches a predetermined height. In the example of the eighth display pattern shown in FIG. 29 , the fixed content displayed in the fixed content display area Re1 is the blood pressure content 23shr3, which is displayed in a reduced size. The movement display content displayed in the movement display content display area Re2 is step count content 25shr3, weight content 26shr3, sleep time content 27shr3, and calorie consumption content 28. Below, a description will be given of a display method on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1 for each of the contents illustrated in Fig. 13 (behavior record content 24 is omitted). In this case, the display pattern of screen Sc is the same as the above-mentioned eighth display pattern for the display patterns of each of the contents from screen Sc shown in Fig. 13 to screen Sc shown in Fig. 29, but the display of each of the contents after screen Sc shown in Fig. 29 is unique to this display method.

[0096] Figure 30 shows a case where the display mode is changed by a user's instruction to move the step count content 25shr3, weight content 26shr3, and sleeping time content 27shr3 upward after the downward reduction of the step count content 25shr3, weight content 26shr3, and sleeping time content 27shr3 has been completed in the moving display content display area Re2 shown in Figure 29. In the example shown in Figure 29, the step count content 25shr3, weight content 26shr3, and sleeping time content 27shr3 are arranged vertically below the blood pressure content 23shr3 with their vertical heights reduced to predetermined heights H6, H8, and H10, respectively. In FIG. 30 , as the display position of the calorie-burning content displayed adjacent to and below the sleeping time content 27shr3 is moved upward on the screen Sc, the calorie-burning content 28 moves from the first moving display content group 20a to the second moving display content group 20b, and the vertical height of the second moving display content display area Re22 gradually decreases from height H11 to height H12 shown in FIG. 29 . Once the vertical height of the display area of ​​the calorie-burning content 28 decreases to a predetermined height H12 (H12<H11), it no longer decreases and remains at the predetermined height H12. The height H12 of the display area of ​​the calorie-burning content 28shr3 may be a fixed value or a predetermined percentage, such as e% of the height H11. Furthermore, as the vertical height of the display area of ​​the calorie-burning content 28 decreases, a series of moving display contents (not shown) located below the calorie-burning content 28 also move upward in accordance with the upward movement of the bottom edge of the display area of ​​the calorie-burning content 28 within the moving display content display area Re2. In Figure 30, in the moving display content display area Re2 adjacent to and below the blood pressure content 23shr3, the step count content 25shr3 displayed closest to the blood pressure content 23shr3, the weight content 26shr3 displayed next closest, the sleeping time content 27shr3 displayed next closest, and the calorie consumption content 28shr3 displayed next closest are arranged side by side.30, when the content displayed in the moving display content display area Re2 is moved upward on the screen Sc, the height of the display area decreases to a predetermined height for the content displayed closest to the blood pressure content 23shr3, and the next closest content is arranged side by side below the blood pressure content 23shr3. Since each content is arranged corresponding to the same date horizontally, the horizontal correspondence between the content and the blood pressure content 23shr3 is maintained even when the display position is moved upward and the display area is reduced vertically. In this state, the step count content 25shr3, weight content 26shr3, sleep time content 27shr3, and calorie consumption content 28shr3 are all moved to the second moving display content group 20b, and there are no content belonging to the first moving display content group 20a.

[0097] By displaying each content according to the eighth display pattern, the user can compare and confirm the blood pressure history for each day of the week horizontally with the history of activities, steps, weight, sleep time, calories burned, etc., which are also arranged horizontally for each day of the week. Furthermore, by moving the desired content to a display position within the moving display content display area Re2 that is close to the blood pressure and easily visible at a glance, the user can easily compare the content and improve visibility. Furthermore, among the series of content arranged vertically in the moving display content display area Re2, the vertical height of the display area decreases in order from the content closest to the blood pressure content 23shr3 to a predetermined height. This allows content displayed in a reduced vertical height to be arranged vertically below the blood pressure content 23shr3, thereby securing display space for other content displayed within the moving display content display area Re2 and enabling comparison of various indicators, including blood pressure. In the example of the eighth display pattern shown in FIG. 30 , the fixed display content displayed in the fixed display content display area Re1 is the reduced-sized blood pressure content 23shr3. The movement display contents displayed in the movement display content display area Re2 are step count content 25shr3, weight content 26shr3, sleeping time content 27shr3, and calorie consumption content 28shr3.

[0098] <Modification of Example 5> (Ninth Display Pattern) The following describes a ninth display pattern, which is a display control method for each content (behavior record content 24 is omitted) illustrated in Fig. 13 on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1. The display pattern of screen Sc in the ninth display pattern is the same as the seventh display pattern described above for the display patterns of each content from screen Sc shown in Fig. 13 to screen Sc shown in Fig. 28, but the display of each content after screen Sc shown in Fig. 28 is unique to the ninth display pattern.

[0099] Figure 31 shows a case where the display mode is further changed from the state shown in Figure 28 by a user's instruction to move the content upward. In the example shown in Figure 29, the step count content 25shr3, weight content 26shr3, and sleep time content 27shr3 are arranged vertically below the blood pressure content 23shr3, with the vertical heights of the display area reduced to predetermined heights H6, H8, and H10, respectively. In the example shown in Figure 31, the number of contents belonging to the second movement display content group 20b is limited. For example, the number of contents displayed below the blood pressure content 23shr3 is limited to two, with the vertical height of the display area reduced to a predetermined height as the display position is moved upward. If the display position of the sleep time content 27 or the calorie expenditure content 28 is moved upward from the state shown in Figure 28, the step count content 25shr3, which is located adjacent to and closest to the blood pressure content 23shr3, is moved to the third movement display content group 20c and is no longer displayed. Among the reduced-size contents, the sleep time content 27 adjacent to and below the weight content 26shr3 located at the bottom edge gradually decreases in vertical height as its display position is moved upward, until it reaches a predetermined height H10 and maintains its predetermined height. In Figure 31 , below the blood pressure content 23shr3, the step count content 25shr3 and weight content 26shr3, whose vertical heights have been reduced to predetermined heights H6 and H8, are replaced by the weight content 26shr3 and sleep time content 27shr3, whose vertical heights have been reduced to predetermined heights H8 and H10, respectively. Furthermore, adjacent to and below the sleep time content, all of the calorie expenditure content in the normal display mode is displayed on the screen. Because each content is arranged horizontally corresponding to the same date, the horizontal correspondence between the contents is maintained even when the display position is moved upward and the display area is reduced vertically.The number of contents displayed in a vertical line below the blood pressure content 23shr3, with the vertical height of the display area decreasing as the display position moves upward, is not limited to two, and any appropriate number of contents may be displayed in a similar manner.

[0100] By displaying each content according to the ninth display pattern, the user can compare and confirm the blood pressure history for each day of the week horizontally with the history of activities, steps, weight, sleep time, calories burned, etc., which are also arranged horizontally for each day of the week. Furthermore, by moving the desired content to a display position within the moving display content display area Re2 that is close to the blood pressure and easily visible at a glance, the user can easily compare the content and improve visibility. Furthermore, among the series of content arranged vertically within the moving display content display area Re2, the number of content items whose vertical height is reduced is limited to, for example, two. As a result, when the height of the display area for a content item adjacent to the content located at the bottom of the reduced content item is reduced, the content item closest to the blood pressure content 23shr3 is displayed, and the content item that was first reduced is no longer displayed. This ensures the display area for other content items within the moving display content display area Re2 and allows for the comparison of various indicators, including blood pressure. 31 , the fixed display content displayed in the fixed display content display area Re1 is a reduced-sized blood pressure content 23shr. The moving display content displayed in the moving display content display area Re2 is a weight content 26shr3, a sleeping time content 27shr3, and a calorie consumption content 28shr3.

[0101] <Modification 2 of Example 5> (Tenth Display Pattern) The following describes a tenth display pattern, which is a display control method for each content (behavior record content 24 is omitted) illustrated in Fig. 13 on the touch panel display 12 of the terminal 1. The display pattern of screen Sc in the tenth display pattern is the same as the eighth display pattern described above for the display patterns of each content from screen Sc shown in Fig. 13 to screen Sc shown in Fig. 26, but the display of each content after screen Sc shown in Fig. 26 is a tenth-specific display.

[0102] Fig. 32 shows an example of a change from the state shown in Fig. 26 to a screen different from that shown in Fig. 27. In Fig. 25, when the display position of the moving display content group 20 is moved upward from the screen shown in Fig. 13 with all of the step count contents 25 adjacent to the blood pressure content 23 below being displayed, the vertical height of the moving display content display area Re2 increases from height H1 to height H4, and as the moving display content group 20 expands upward, the vertical height of the fixed display content display area Re1, which is the display area for the blood pressure content 23, decreases. If the display position of the moving display content group 20 including the step count contents 25, weight contents 26, and sleep time contents 27 is further moved upward from the state shown in Fig. 25, the step count contents 25 adjacent to the blood pressure content 23shr3 below are moved to the second moving display content group 20b, as shown in Fig. 26, and the vertical height of the display area for the blood pressure content 23shr3 decreases. When the display position of the moving display content group 20, including the step count content 25shr3, weight content 26, and sleep time content 27, is further moved upward from the state shown in FIG. 26 , the display area of ​​the step count content 25shr3 does not disappear as shown in FIG. 27 . When the vertical height of the display area of ​​the step count content 25shr3 is reduced to height H13, the display content is changed to the step count content 25abb, which is a simplified display content. In this simplified display state, the height of the display area is maintained and does not decrease any further. The content of the simplified display can be set appropriately depending on the content. In this case, in the step count content 25abb, only the title "Steps" and the step value that was displayed above the bar graph are displayed corresponding to the date horizontally. At this time, the weight content 26 and the sleep time content 27 are displayed adjacent to the lower part of the simplified display of the step count content 25abb on the screen Sc. Since each content is arranged horizontally corresponding to the same date, the horizontal correspondence between each content is maintained even when the display position is moved upward, the display area is reduced vertically, or the display is simplified.

[0103] The number of contents displayed below the blood pressure content 23shr3 in simplified display as the display area shrinks vertically is not limited. This can be controlled by a parameter, namely, the number of contents belonging to the second moving display content group 20b. From the state shown in FIG. 32 , the weight content 26, sleep time content 27, and calorie consumption content 28 may be sequentially moved to the second moving display content group 20b, changed to simplified display, and all displayed vertically side by side as the vertical height of the display area decreases to a predetermined height, adjacent to the step count content 25abb. Alternatively, the first simplified content displayed below the blood pressure content 23shr3 and closest to the blood pressure content 23shr3 may be moved to the third moving display content group 20c and hidden, and the contents displayed below the blood pressure content 23shr3 may be sequentially switched, with a predetermined number of simplified content and normal content displayed.

[0104] By displaying each content according to the tenth display pattern, the user can compare and confirm the blood pressure history for each day of the week horizontally with the history of activities, steps, weight, sleep time, etc., which are also arranged horizontally for each day of the week. Furthermore, by moving the desired content to a display position close to the blood pressure in the moving display content display area Re2 that is easily visible at a glance, the user can easily compare each content and improve the visibility. Furthermore, as the content moves upward in the moving display content display area Re2, the vertical height of the display area for content close to the blood pressure content 23 is reduced and displayed in a simplified form. This allows for a clearer display area for other content displayed in the moving display content display area Re2, while simplifying the display of the content whose vertical height has been reduced. This allows for a simpler understanding of the displayed content and allows for comparison of various indicators, including blood pressure. In the example of the ninth display pattern shown in FIG. 32 , the fixed content displayed in the fixed display content display area Re1 is the blood pressure content 23shr3, which is displayed in a reduced form. The movement display contents displayed in the movement display content display area Re2 are step count content 25abb, weight content 26, and sleep time content 27.
