<< 1. Basic configuration of intervention information provision system >>
<1-1. Basic configuration>
The present invention can be implemented in various forms as will be described in detail in “2. Detailed Description of Embodiments” as an example. First, the basic configuration of the intervention information providing system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the intervention information providing system according to the present embodiment includes a server 10, a subject person terminal 20, an activity meter 30, a weather information system 32, and a communication network 34.

[1-1-1. Server 10]
The server 10 is an example of an intervention information providing apparatus according to the present invention. The server 10 is a device for providing intervention information corresponding to the deviation to the subject terminal 20 when a divergence occurs between the action plan and the performance set for the subject. Further, the server 10 can be installed in a predetermined data center, for example.

  Here, the action is, for example, an exercise such as walking or running. Further, the intervention information includes, for example, a message for the subject. In the following, the explanation will be focused on an example in which intervention information related to health behavior is provided to a subject who walks for lifestyle-related disease prevention, dieting, and the like.

  The server 10 can transmit and receive information to and from devices connected to the communication network 34 via the communication network 34 described later. For example, the server 10 receives action plan information and action result information set for the subject from the subject terminal 20. In addition, the server 10 transmits intervention information related to the subject to the subject terminal 20.

[1-1-2. Target terminal 20]
The target person terminal 20 is a communication terminal used by the target person. The target person terminal 20 may be, for example, a personal computer (PC), a television receiver, a mobile phone such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a wearable device such as a wristwatch computer. Note that the target person terminal 20 may be installed in a place where the target person can use it on a daily basis, such as the target person's home, city hall, or fitness club.

  The target person terminal 20 displays various display screens such as an action plan / result screen for the target person to set an action plan. In addition, the target person terminal 20 can send and receive information to and from the server 10 via the communication network 34.

[1-1-3. Activity meter 30]
The activity meter 30 is an example of a sensor in the present invention. The activity meter 30 is a device that measures information related to the activity of the subject by being carried by the subject. The activity meter 30 includes various sensors such as a triaxial acceleration sensor. The target person basically carries the activity meter 30 all day.

  The activity meter 30 measures, for example, the number of steps of the subject, medium intensity exercise time, and sleep time. Here, the medium intensity exercise time is a time during which continuous walking or jogging of 3 METs or more is continued. Note that METs is a unit indicating how many times the strength of physical activity corresponds to that at rest. For example, the state of sitting and resting is 1 METs, and 4 km / hour corresponds to 3 METs.

  Further, the activity meter 30 can transmit and receive information to and from the target person terminal 20, for example, by wireless communication such as NFC (Near Field Communication) and Bluetooth (registered trademark).

[1-1-4. Weather information system 32]
The weather information system 32 is a system managed by a public organization such as the Japan Meteorological Agency or a weather information company. The weather information system 32 holds weather forecast data (for example, forecast data such as sunny, cloudy, rainy, snow, etc.) for each hour, for example, at various locations. Further, the weather information system 32 automatically distributes the weather forecast data via the communication network 34 to, for example, a device in which the distribution of weather forecast data is registered in advance.

[1-1-5. Communication network 34]
The communication network 34 is a wired or wireless transmission path for information transmitted from a device connected to the communication network 34. For example, the communication network 34 may include a public line network such as a telephone line network, the Internet, a satellite communication network, various local area networks (LANs) including the Ethernet (registered trademark), a wide area network (WAN), and the like. . The communication network 34 may include a dedicated line network such as an IP-VPN (Internet Protocol-Virtual Private Network).

  Note that the intervention information providing system according to the present embodiment is not limited to the configuration described above. For example, when the target person terminal 20 is a wearable device, the target person terminal 20 and the activity meter 30 may be configured integrally.

<1-2. Organizing issues>
By the way, as an effective approach for dieting and smoking cessation, there is a transtheoretical model (TTM). This model classifies the subject's behavioral transformation stages into five stages: indifference, interest, preparation, execution, and continuation, and appropriate intervention for the subject at each stage. This is a model for increasing the success probability of dieting and quitting smoking. For example, in the case of a diet, information and knowledge are given to the target in the period of indifference, the target is made aware of the benefits in the period of interest, a specific plan is made in the preparation period, and the plan is executed in the execution and continuation periods. Have the subject perform or continue the diet.

  In this way, self-efficiency (for example, “ By taking appropriate interventions in the behavioral transformation stage, such as improving the likelihood of being able to do so, the behavior can be expected to be activated, and the continuity will increase.

  However, if barrier factors such as bad weather, subject fatigue, and schedule changes occur, the subject may be unable to perform actions as planned. As a result, the subject's confidence may be reduced, the exercise habits that he / she has learned may be stopped, or smoking may be resumed.

  In a known technique, a technique for prompting a subject to execute a plan when there is a deviation based on the plan and the actual result is proposed. However, this technique only prompts the subject to execute the plan. For example, even if the above-mentioned technique is a case where the barrier factor of the generated divergence is bad weather, it is not possible to encourage walking before it rains or to present a different plan. For this reason, it is difficult to prevent the occurrence of a new divergence or reduce the generated divergence.

  Accordingly, the server 10 according to the present embodiment has been created with the above circumstances taken into consideration. According to this embodiment, the execution of the plan is supported by estimating the barrier factor of the behavior based on the plan and the actual result of the behavior, and presenting the intervention information according to the estimated barrier factor to the target person. Is possible. The barrier factor is an example of an inhibition factor in the present invention.

For example, the action result recording unit 204 displays the actual step value received from the activity meter 30 and the schedule result of each time period input by the target person on the action plan / result screen. Is recorded in the storage unit 226 as actual performance information.

(2-1-1-4. Communication unit 220)
The communication unit 220 transmits and receives information to and from other devices via the communication network 34, for example. For example, the communication unit 220 receives from the activity meter 30 the measurement result of the actual step count value of each time zone, the mid-intensity exercise time of the day, and the total sleep time of the day. Further, the communication unit 220 receives intervention information from the server 10. The communication unit 220 transmits the action plan information set by the action plan setting unit 202 and the action result information stored in the storage unit 226 to the server 10 under the control of the control unit 200.

(2-1-1-5. Output unit 222)

  The output unit 222 displays a display screen or outputs sound according to the control of the control unit 200. For example, the output unit 222 displays intervention information received from the server 10 on the display. Alternatively, the output unit 222 outputs the received intervention information by voice such as a concierge application.

(2-1-1-6. Input unit 224)
The input unit 224 includes an input device such as a mouse, a keyboard, a switch, or a microphone. The input unit 224 receives various inputs from the target person, such as an input of an action plan on an action plan / result screen.

(2-1-1-7. Storage Unit 226)
The storage unit 226 stores various data and various software.

[2-1-2. Server 10]
FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the server 10 according to the present embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the server 10 includes a control unit 100, a communication unit 120, and a storage unit 122.

(2-1-2-1. Control unit 100)
The control unit 100 generally controls the operation of the server 10 using hardware such as a CPU 150 and a RAM 154 described later built in the server 10. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the control unit 100 includes a plan information acquisition unit 102, a performance information acquisition unit 104, a difference calculation unit 106, a factor estimation unit 108, and an intervention information provision unit 110.

(2-1-2-2. Plan information acquisition unit 102)
The plan information acquisition unit 102 acquires plan information on the behavior of the subject received from the subject terminal 20 by the communication unit 120 described later.

(2-1-2-3. Result information acquisition unit 104)
The track record information acquisition unit 104 acquires track record information on the behavior of the subject received from the subject terminal 20 by the communication unit 120 described later.

(2-1-2-4. Difference calculation unit 106)
The difference calculation unit 106 calculates a difference between the plan value included in the plan information acquired by the plan information acquisition unit 102 and the actual value included in the actual information acquired by the actual information acquisition unit 104. For example, the difference calculation unit 106, for each time period, from the planned step value included in the plan information acquired by the plan information acquisition unit 102, the actual step value included in the actual information acquired by the actual information acquisition unit 104 Calculate the difference minus.

(2-1-2-5. Factor estimating unit 108)
-Estimation of barrier factor The factor estimation unit 108 estimates the barrier factor of the behavior of the subject based on the calculation result by the difference calculation unit 106. More specifically, the factor estimation unit 108 estimates and calculates a behavioral barrier factor for a time zone in which the difference calculated by the difference calculation unit 106 is greater than a predetermined threshold among the time zones. The behavioral barrier factor is not estimated for a time period in which the difference is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4, if the predetermined threshold is set to “300 steps”, the difference in the time zone “11: 0 to 12:00” is “550 steps”. The difference is greater than a predetermined threshold. Therefore, the factor estimation unit 108 estimates a behavioral barrier factor for the time period.

  In addition, the factor estimation unit 108 determines each of the plurality of barrier factors registered in the factor determination condition DB 124 described later among the plurality of barrier factors registered in advance with respect to the time zone of the barrier factor estimation target. When any of the conditions is satisfied, the corresponding barrier factor is estimated as the barrier factor of the behavior of the target person.

  When two or more barrier factor determination conditions among the determination conditions of each of the plurality of barrier factors registered in the factor determination condition DB 124 are satisfied, the factor estimation unit 108 determines that the corresponding two or more barrier factors One of them is estimated as a barrier factor of the subject's behavior.

  For example, in the above case, the factor estimating unit 108 first sends the display control information on the selection screen for selecting the most appropriate type of barrier factor among the two or more corresponding barrier factors to the target terminal 20. The data is transmitted to the communication unit 120. Then, the factor estimating unit 108 estimates the type of the barrier factor selected by the subject received from the subject terminal 20 as the barrier factor of the behavior of the subject. According to such a configuration, it is possible to specify one fundamental factor among a plurality of factors that may be possible barrier factors for the behavior of the target person.

--- Modified Example As a modified example, in the above case, the factor estimating unit 108 can also estimate all of the corresponding two or more barrier factors as the barrier factors of the behavior of the target person.

-Factor determination condition DB124
The factor determination condition DB 124 is a database in which a barrier factor type registered in advance and a determination condition for each barrier factor are stored in association with each other. The barrier factors registered in advance include, for example, bad weather, the subject's fatigue level, and work interruption. The factor determination condition DB 124 is stored in the storage unit 122, for example.

  For example, in the factor determination condition DB 124, “exercise” is set in the schedule of a time zone in which the difference is larger than a predetermined threshold as one of the determination conditions for determining the barrier factor as “bad weather”, and the time It may be registered that the weather of the belt is rain or snow. Rain and snow are examples of bad weather. In addition, as one of the determination conditions for determining the barrier factor as “work interruption”, “exercise” is set in the schedule of the time zone in which the difference is larger than the predetermined threshold, and the schedule performance in the time zone is May be registered as “work”. In addition, as one of the determination conditions for determining the barrier factor as “fatigue”, there is a time zone in which the difference is larger than a predetermined threshold, and the actual step count value measured in a day including the time zone, It may be registered that the intensity exercise time or the sleep time is a value corresponding to the fatigue state. More specifically, the actual number of steps in a day including the time zone exceeds a predetermined fatigue threshold related to the number of steps, and a predetermined fatigue threshold related to medium-intensity exercise time is determined. One of the determination conditions for determining that the barrier factor is “fatigue” that at least one or more of the fact that the sleep time of the day exceeds the predetermined fatigue threshold related to the sleep time is satisfied. It may be registered as one. Note that the above three types of fatigue thresholds can be determined, for example, by the administrator of the server 10 conducting a questionnaire for a plurality of users in advance. For example, the predetermined fatigue threshold relating to sleep time may be defined as “average sleep time of subject—2 hours”.

  As a modification, in the factor determination condition DB 124, for example, the target person may be able to additionally register a new barrier factor and the determination condition of the barrier factor using the target person terminal 20. Further, the additionally registered barrier factor detection method is not limited to the data acquired from the activity meter 30 or the weather information system 32 described above, and further uses data acquired from another type of sensing device. A detection method may be used.

-Recording of Barrier Factors Each time the factor estimation unit 108 estimates the barrier factors, the corresponding barrier factors stored in the score data DB 126, which will be described later, are associated with the target person, for example, up to the present time. The score data DB 126 is updated by adding “1” to the score data that is the total of the estimated number of times.

-Score data DB 126
The score data DB 126 is a database in which a subject, a barrier factor type, and score data are stored in association with each other. The score data DB 126 is stored in the storage unit 122, for example.

  Here, a configuration example of the score data DB 126 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, in the score data DB 126, for example, a user ID 1260, a factor ID 1262, and score data 1264 are associated with each other. Here, in the user ID 1260, a user ID given in advance to each target person is recorded. The factor ID 1262 records the ID of each barrier factor registered in advance. In the score data 1264, the score data of the barrier factor of the corresponding type related to the target person of the corresponding user ID is recorded. The initial value stored in the score data 1264 is “0”, and for each barrier factor ID, “1” is added each time the factor estimating unit 108 estimates the barrier factor.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, the score data when the user ID of the subject is “1001” and the factor ID is “1 (= bad weather)” is “4”. That is, the total number of times that “bad weather” has been estimated as a barrier factor so far is “4”. In the state shown in FIG. 6, when difference data (that is, a divergence between the plan and the actual result) newly occurs with respect to the target person, and “bad weather” is estimated as a barrier factor with respect to the difference data. The factor estimating unit 108 adds 1 to the score data having the factor ID “1”. As a result, the corresponding score data is “5”.

(2-1-2-6. Intervention information providing unit 110)
-Provision example 1
The intervention information providing unit 110 causes the communication unit 120 to transmit the intervention information corresponding to the barrier factor estimated by the factor estimating unit 108 to the target person terminal 20. For example, the intervention information providing unit 110 communicates the intervention information corresponding to the target data and the score data stored in the score data DB 126 in association with the estimated barrier factor type to the target terminal 20. 120 is transmitted. More specifically, the intervention information providing unit 110 first extracts, from the score data DB 126, score data stored in association with the target person and the estimated barrier factor type. Then, the intervention information providing unit 110 extracts comments stored in a comment DB 128 described later in association with the estimated barrier factor type and the extracted score data, and extracts the extracted comments (intervention As information), the communication unit 120 is transmitted to the target person terminal 20. Here, the comment is an example of intervention information.

  In addition, when there are a plurality of types of estimated barrier factors and a plurality of types of comments stored in the comment DB 128 in association with the extracted score data, the intervention information providing unit 110 selects the types of the plurality of types. Extract one of the comments. For example, in the above case, the intervention information providing unit 110 may randomly extract any of the plurality of types of comments, or may sequentially extract one by one. According to such a configuration, since the same comment is basically not continuously presented to the subject, it is possible to prevent the subject from getting bored with the presentation of the comment (that is, the intervention information).

-Comment DB128
The comment DB 128 is an example of a database in the present invention. The comment DB 128 is a database in which comments are stored in association with score data values and factor IDs. Note that the comment stored in the comment DB 128 may be a comment defined by the administrator of the server 10 in accordance with the transtheoretical model, for example. The comment DB 128 is stored in the storage unit 122, for example.

  Here, a configuration example of the comment DB 128 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, in the comment DB 128, for example, score data 1280 and a comment 1282 of each factor ID are associated with each other. Here, the comment 1282 of each factor ID includes comments of a plurality of factor IDs such as a bad weather comment 1284a, a fatigue comment 1284b, and a job interruption comment 1284c.

  In the comment DB 128, a plurality of types of comments can be stored in association with the same factor ID and the same score data. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 7, when the factor ID is “1” and the score data is “1”, a plurality of comments such as “comment A1” and “comment A2” are stored in the comment DB 128. Stored.

  In addition, among comments stored in the comment DB 128, for example, a comment having a large score data value may further include a disgusting comment or a likable comment. The disgusting comment is an example of the first message in the present invention, and the likable comment is an example of the second message in the present invention.

  Here, a disgusting comment is a comment that is likely to reduce the occurrence frequency of the corresponding action when presented to the target person after the target person has performed an inappropriate action. In addition, the enthusiastic comment is a comment that is likely to increase the occurrence frequency of the corresponding action when presented to the target person after the target person performs an appropriate action.

  For example, if the factor ID is “1 (= bad weather)”, an example of a disgusting comment is: “It rained yesterday, but I didn't exercise at home. "Today, let's carry out two steps of going up and down the stairs at home and walk for 3 minutes."

---Factor ID: 1 (= bad weather)
In addition, as a specific example when the factor ID is “1”, the subject was planning to go out and exercise, but due to bad weather, the subject could not go out and could not perform the exercise scheduled, A case where a result divergence has occurred is assumed. Therefore, the comment when the factor ID is “1” may include an introduction to the exercise method. For example, in “comment A1” when the factor ID is “1” and the score data is “1”, a comment that prompts the user to increase the number of steps while shopping in a nearby shopping mall or supermarket is stored. May be. In addition, in the “comment B1” when the score data is “2”, introduction of simple exercises that can be performed at home may be stored.

  As a modification, the comment when the factor ID is “1” includes a comment that prompts the user to change the planned “exercise (walking)” time zone to another time zone or another day. But you can. For example, when “exercise” is set in the schedule “11:00 to 12:00” and the weather forecast for the time period is rain or snow, the intervention information providing unit 110 may, for example, A comment that prompts the user to change the plan so as to perform “exercise” at another time when the forecast is clear may be transmitted to the subject terminal 20 as intervention information.

--- Factor ID: 2 (= fatigue)
Further, the comment when the factor ID is “2” may include a comment that prompts cognitive coping instead of behavioral coping. For example, the above comment may include a re-evaluation of the exercise effect (ie, a reflection on a positive effect). Alternatively, the above comment may include an introduction to the idea that a simple walk is effective for changing mood and relieving stress. Alternatively, the comment may include a comment that causes the planning of the exercise plan to be considered.

---Factor ID: 3 (= work interruption)
In addition, the comment when the factor ID is “3” may include, for example, a comment that encourages people to go up and down the stairs without using an elevator as much as possible in commuting or at work, or during housework or shopping Comments may be included to encourage the use of devices such as walking.

--Comment presentation screen In addition, when intervention information is received by the subject person terminal 20, the subject person terminal 20 (the output part 222) displays the comment presentation screen as shown, for example in FIG. Here, a display example of the comment presentation screen (comment presentation screen 50) will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the comment presentation screen 50 includes, for example, a schedule display field 500, a weather forecast display field 502, a planned step value display field 504, and an intervention information display field 510. Here, the schedule display column 500 is a display column for displaying an hourly schedule set by the action plan setting unit 202, for example. A weather forecast display field 502 is a display field for displaying hourly weather forecast data. For example, the target person terminal 20 may receive the weather forecast data directly from the weather information system 32 or may receive the weather forecast data received by the server 10 from the server 10. The planned step value display field 504 is a display field for displaying the planned step value for each hour set by the action plan setting unit 202, for example. The intervention information display field 510 is a display field for displaying the intervention information received from the server 10.

  Note that the intervention information providing unit 110 may provide the intervention information to the subject terminal 20 on a daily basis, for example, as “today's advice” is displayed on the comment presentation screen 50.

-Provision example 2
Further, the intervention information providing unit 110 can further cause the intervention unit to transmit the intervention information to the target person terminal 20 to the communication unit 120 at a timing according to the barrier factor estimated by the factor estimation unit 108. For example, when the difference calculated by the difference calculation unit 106 is remarkably large, the intervention information providing unit 110 causes the communication unit 120 to transmit the intervention information to the target person terminal 20 earlier than usual, for example, immediately. This is because, as pointed out in the behavior change theory, it is considered that if the subject acts badly, providing the comment to the subject immediately increases the effect. Further, when the estimated barrier factor is “bad weather”, the intervention information providing unit 110 may cause the communication information to be transmitted to the communication terminal 120 to the target person terminal 20 before the bad weather occurs.

-Provision example 3
In addition, when difference data no longer occurs after the intervention information is once transmitted to the subject person terminal 20, it is assumed that the transmitted intervention information is valid. Therefore, as a modification, in the above case, the intervention information providing unit 110 may cause the communication unit 120 to periodically transmit the same intervention information to the target person terminal 20, for example. According to such a configuration, it can be expected that the occurrence of deviation can be suppressed in the long term by continuously presenting the same intervention information to the subject.

(2-1-2-7. Communication unit 120)
The communication unit 120 transmits and receives information to and from other devices via the communication network 34, for example. For example, the communication unit 120 receives, from the subject terminal 20, the actual number of steps for each time zone, the mid-intensity exercise time of the day, the sleep time of the day, and the like. Further, the communication unit 120 receives weather forecast data from the weather information system 32. Further, the communication unit 120 transmits the intervention information to the target person terminal 20 according to the control of the intervention information providing unit 110.

(2-1-2-8. Storage unit 122)
The storage unit 122 stores various data such as a factor determination condition DB 124, a score data DB 126, and a comment DB 128, for example.

  Note that the configuration of the server 10 according to the present embodiment is not limited to the configuration described above. For example, at least one of the factor determination condition DB 124, the score data DB 126, and the comment DB 128 is stored in another device (not shown) that can communicate with the server 10 instead of being stored in the storage unit 122. Is also possible. Further, the factor determination condition DB 124 and the comment DB 128 may be configured as an integrated database instead of being configured as separate databases.

<2-2. Operation>
The configuration according to this embodiment has been described above. Subsequently, an operation according to the present embodiment will be described. In the following, the target person sets up an action plan for one day after the next day (hereinafter referred to as the relevant day), the action results are recorded on the relevant day, and the intervention information on the day after the relevant day. An example of the operation in a scene where is provided to the target person will be described.

[2-2-1. Overall behavior]
FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram showing a part of the operation according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, the server 10 receives, for example, hourly weather forecast data for one day from the weather information system 32 every day (S101).

  Further, the output unit 222 of the subject terminal 20 displays an action plan / result screen based on, for example, the subject's input to the input unit 224 (S103).

  Thereafter, the target person inputs a schedule and a planned step value for each time zone on the corresponding day on the displayed action plan / result screen (S105).

  Thereafter, on the corresponding day, the target person terminal 20 performs “result data recording processing” to be described later (S107).

  Thereafter, the communication unit 220 of the target person terminal 20 follows the control of the control unit 200, the schedule and the planned step value of each time zone set in S105, and the corresponding day recorded in S107. The schedule results and actual step values, medium intensity exercise time, and sleep time for each time zone are transmitted to the server 10 (S109).

  Here, the operation after S109 will be described with reference to FIG. After S109, the factor estimating unit 108 of the server 10 sets “1” to the variable I indicating the number of times of performing the barrier factor estimation (S121).

  Subsequently, the difference calculation unit 106 calculates a difference obtained by subtracting the actual step value from the planned step value received in S109 for each time zone of the corresponding day, and the calculated difference is larger than a predetermined threshold value. It is determined whether or not. Then, the difference calculation unit 106 sets the number of time zones in which the calculated difference is greater than a predetermined threshold (hereinafter also referred to as a deviation time zone) to N (S123).

  Subsequently, the factor estimating unit 108 determines whether or not the value of I is N or less (S125). When I is N or less (S125: Yes), the factor estimating unit 108 uses the barrier factor of the I-th divergence time zone calculated in S123 as a plurality of barrier factors registered in the factor determination condition DB 124. Is estimated based on each determination condition (S127).

  Subsequently, the factor estimating unit 108 adds “1” to the score data stored in the score data DB 126 in association with the corresponding target person and the type of the barrier factor estimated in S127, and the score The data DB 126 is updated (S129).

  Subsequently, the factor estimating unit 108 adds “1” to I (S131). Thereafter, the factor estimating unit 108 repeats the operation of S125 again.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 11, the operation when I is larger than N in S125 (S125: No) will be described. In this case, first, the intervention information providing unit 110 of the server 10 confirms the contents registered in the score data DB 126 in association with the corresponding target person, and the factor ID for which the score data is greater than “0” It is confirmed whether or not one or more exist (S141). If there is no factor ID having score data greater than “0” (S141: No), the server 10 ends the operation.

  On the other hand, when there is one or more factor IDs whose score data is greater than “0” (S141: Yes), the intervention information providing unit 110 first applies the target person and the factor ID for each corresponding factor ID. The score data stored in association with is extracted from the score data DB 126. Then, the intervention information providing unit 110 extracts a comment stored in the comment DB 128 in association with the factor ID and the extracted score data (S143).

  Subsequently, the intervention information providing unit 110 causes the comment extracted in S143 to be transmitted as intervention information to the subject terminal 20 to the communication unit 120 (S145).

  After that, the output unit 222 of the subject terminal 20 displays the intervention information received in S145 on the display or outputs it by voice according to the control of the control unit 200 (S147).

[2-2-2. Record processing of actual data]
Here, with reference to FIG. 12 to FIG. 13, the “result data recording process” in S107 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 12, the activity meter 30 first waits until the subject performs medium intensity exercise or the subject's sleep is detected. In addition, when execution of medium intensity exercise by the subject is detected on the corresponding day, or when sleep of the subject is detected, medium intensity exercise time or sleep time is measured (S201). .

  Further, the activity meter 30 measures the number of steps by the subject in units of one hour (S205 to S207). And the active mass meter 30 transmits the measured time slot | zone and the measured track record value to the subject person terminal 20 (S209).

  Thereafter, the action result recording unit 204 of the subject person terminal 20 records the time zone received in S209 and the result step count value in the storage unit 226 in association with each other (S211).

  In addition, the target person inputs the schedule result of the corresponding time zone on the action plan / result screen displayed on the target person terminal 20. Then, the action record recording unit 204 of the target person terminal 20 records the corresponding time zone and the input schedule record in the storage unit 226 in association with each other (S213).

  And the active mass meter 30 repeats operation | movement of S205-S209 for one day (namely, 24 hours) (S215-S217).

  Here, with reference to FIG. 13, the operation when 24 hours have elapsed (S217: No) will be described. In this case, first, the activity meter 30 transmits the medium intensity exercise time and sleep time measured on the corresponding day to the subject terminal 20 (S221).

  Thereafter, the behavior record recording unit 204 of the subject terminal 20 records the received medium intensity exercise time and sleep time in the storage unit 226 (S223).

<2-3. Effect>
As described above, for example, as described with reference to FIGS. 5, 9 to 11, and the like, the server 10 according to the present embodiment receives the target person's action plan information and action result information received from the target person terminal 20. Based on the above, the barrier factor of the behavior of the subject is estimated, and intervention information corresponding to the estimated barrier factor is output to the subject terminal 20. For this reason, since the intervention information according to the factor that inhibits the behavior can be presented to the target person, it is possible to provide effective support for causing the target person to execute the corresponding action.

  For example, when a barrier factor such as bad weather, subject fatigue, or schedule change occurs, the server 10 presents intervention information according to the type of the generated barrier factor to the subject. For this reason, the target person can suppress the occurrence of a new divergence between the plan and the actual performance by performing the action along the intervention information. And since the subject can carry out actions as planned, as a result, continuous health behavior can be expected. For example, there is a very low risk that the subject's confidence will be reduced, the exercise habits that he / she has learned will be stopped, or a reversal will occur, such as starting smoking again.
