For example, the exercise information providing server 1 may determine an exercise whose content is in line with the exercise theme, and determine the scheduled date and scheduled time period for the exercise to the extent that it does not overlap with the schedule of the recommended user. .

The exercise information providing server 1 allocates benefits to the determined recommended exercise schedule (step S4). For example, the exercise information providing server 1 assigns, to the recommended exercise schedule, a benefit in which the content of the determined exercise satisfies the benefit acquisition condition, and at least one of the determined date and time satisfies the benefit acquisition condition. You can. At this time, the exercise information providing server 1 may determine the maximum value of the benefit to be provided. Examples of the value of the benefit include the number of points, the discount amount, and the discount rate. The value of the benefit actually given to the recommended user may be determined within a range below the maximum value determined here. For example, the fact that 100 points are assigned as the value of the benefit indicates that the maximum value of points that can be awarded is 100 points.

The exercise information providing server 1 transmits recommended exercise schedule information and benefit target information to the user terminal 7 (step S5). Recommended exercise schedule information is information indicating a recommended exercise schedule. The benefit target information is information indicating that a benefit is assigned to the recommended exercise schedule. The benefit target information may include the content of the benefit and the maximum value of the benefit.

The user terminal 7 displays the recommended exercise schedule information transmitted from the exercise information providing server 1 on the screen, and also displays the benefit target information in association with the recommended exercise schedule information (step S6).

Thereafter, the exercise information providing server 1 may notify the recommended exercise schedule to the recommended user terminal 7 when the date and time of the recommended exercise schedule arrives or a predetermined time before the date and time (step S7).

Thereafter, the recommended user exercises, and the recommended user terminal 7 records exercise record content (step S8). The exercise record content may be content data that shows evidence of exercise performed by the recommended user. Examples of exercise recording content include videos taken by the recommended user, still images taken by the recommended user, location information of the user terminal 7, motion information indicating the recommended user's movements, biological information of the recommended user, etc. can be mentioned. The user terminal 7 transmits the recorded exercise record content to the exercise information providing server 1 (step S9). Examples of exercise recording content that is not recorded by the user terminal 7 include usage logs and exercise status information of exercise facilities and exercise services in related services. In this case, the exercise information providing server 1 acquires exercise record content from the related service server 6.

The exercise information providing server 1 determines, based on the received exercise record content, whether or not the user has performed an exercise that satisfies the benefit acquisition conditions for the benefits assigned to the recommended exercise schedule (step S10). The exercise information providing server 1 basically provides a benefit when the recommended user performs an exercise that satisfies the benefit acquisition conditions (step S11). At this time, the exercise information providing server 1 may determine the value of the benefit provided based on the exercise implementation status of the recommended user. As a result, there may be cases where no benefits are substantially provided. The exercise information providing server 1 does not provide a benefit if the recommended user does not perform an exercise that satisfies the benefit acquisition conditions.

The recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 may exclude, from the candidates of recommended exercise contents, exercise contents that are not appropriate for the recommended user based on physical attributes or health conditions, based on physical information or health information. Further, if there is an exercise content that specifies a place to exercise, the recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 may use the position information of the user terminal 7. For example, the recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 may acquire the location information of the user terminal 7 of the recommended user from the location information DB 14h. If the location is not within a predetermined range from the current location of the user terminal 7, the recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 may exclude that exercise content from the candidates for recommended exercise content. Examples of places within a predetermined range from the location of the user terminal 7 include a location where the straight line distance from the user terminal 7 is within a predetermined distance, a location where the length of the travel route from the user terminal 7 to that location is within a predetermined distance, Examples include a location where the moving distance from the user terminal 7 is within a predetermined distance. Further, the recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 may identify places where the recommended user has gone in the past based on the history of location information. For example, the recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 may identify places where the user goes relatively frequently. If the recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 does not have a place within a predetermined range from a place where the recommended destination user went in the past, the recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 may exclude that exercise content from the candidates for recommended exercise content.

For example, schedule information may be primarily used to determine the scheduled date and time slot. Schedule information extracted from schedule information is stored in the schedule DB 14e. The recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 may, for example, search the schedule DB 14e for schedule information associated with the user ID of the recommended user and extract dates and times when the recommended user has no plans. The recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 may search for a time period longer than the minimum exercise time indicated by the exercise time information included in the exercise content information of the recommended exercise content candidate from the extracted time slots. Here, the recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 may adjust the time period to be extracted so that there is an interval of a predetermined time or more between the exercise schedule and other schedules. Further, if a place to exercise is specified as a candidate for recommended exercise content, and the place is specified in a schedule set before or after the extracted time period, the recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 The time period for extraction may be adjusted by taking into account the travel distance and travel time. If it is possible to extract a time period that is longer than the minimum exercise time, the recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 adjusts the length of the time period within a range that is less than or equal to the maximum exercise time indicated by the exercise time information. , the adjusted time zone and the searched date may be determined as the scheduled time zone and date, and a recommended exercise schedule may be determined.

The recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 may determine a number of recommended exercise schedules corresponding to the required exercise frequency stored in the exercise theme DB 14b and store the schedule information.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a recommended exercise schedule. As shown in FIG. 7, it is recommended to perform an exercise with a specific content between a specific time and a specific time on a specific date. Similar to the benefit acquisition conditions, the recommended exercise content may include at least the type of exercise to be performed. The exercise content may include the location where the exercise is performed, the exercise service used, or performing the exercise in accordance with an exercise video of the type of exercise.

On the other hand, as shown in Example 1 of FIG. 8, it is assumed that the recommended exercise schedule is to jog between 18:00 and 19:00 on September 1st. The time period from 18:00 to 19:00 on September 1st is included in the time period from 18:00 to 20:00. Also, the exercise types match. Therefore, the benefit may be assigned to this recommended exercise schedule. Even if the recommended exercise schedule specifies a place for jogging or the use of an exercise service, the benefit allocation unit 113 may allocate the benefit to the recommended exercise schedule. If the time zone is different or the exercise type is different, the benefits will not be assigned to this recommended exercise schedule.

As shown in Example 2 of FIG. 7, it is assumed that the condition for obtaining a benefit is to play golf at a golf course operated by a sponsor between 9:00 and 12:00 on weekdays. On the other hand, as shown in Example 2 of FIG. 8, it is assumed that the recommended exercise schedule is to play golf at a golf course from 10:00 to 12:00 on September 15th. If the golf course specified in this recommended exercise schedule is the golf course of the sponsor, the benefit may be assigned to this recommended exercise schedule. If the golf course specified in the recommended exercise schedule is different from the golf course of its sponsor, the benefit will not be assigned to this recommended exercise schedule.

As shown in Example 3 of FIG. 7, it is assumed that the condition for obtaining the benefit is to receive personal training from the sponsor and do muscle training between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. On the other hand, as shown in Example 3 of FIG. 8, it is assumed that the recommended exercise schedule is to receive personal training and perform muscle training on October 10th from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm. If the personal training specified in this recommended exercise schedule is that of the sponsor, the benefit may be assigned to this recommended exercise schedule. If the personal training specified in the recommended exercise schedule is different from the personal training of its sponsor, the benefit will not be assigned to this recommended exercise schedule.

As shown in Example 4 of FIG. 7, it is assumed that the reward acquisition condition is to perform HIIT in conjunction with an exercise video between October 1st and October 31st. On the other hand, as shown in Example 4 of FIG. 8, it is assumed that the recommended exercise schedule is to perform HIIT in conjunction with an exercise video from 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM on October 22nd. In this case, the benefit may be assigned to this recommended exercise schedule.

Even if the recommended exercise schedule does not completely satisfy all of the benefit acquisition conditions, the benefit allocation unit 113 allows the recommended user to exercise according to the recommended exercise schedule so that the recommended user can meet the benefit acquisition conditions. If it is possible to meet the recommended exercise schedule, a benefit may be assigned to the recommended exercise schedule. By presenting both the recommended exercise schedule and the benefit acquisition conditions to the recommended user, the recommended user can exercise so as to satisfy the benefit acquisition conditions. For example, suppose that the reward acquisition condition specifies a place to exercise or an exercise service to use, but neither a place to exercise nor an exercise service to use is specified in the recommended exercise schedule. In this case, the benefit allocating unit 113 may allocate a benefit to the recommended exercise schedule. In addition, in the conditions for acquiring benefits, while a place related to a specific business operator is specified as the place to perform exercise or a specific exercise service provided by a specific business operator is specified as the exercise service to be used, in the recommended exercise schedule, It is assumed that only the type of place where the exercise is to be performed or only the type of exercise service to be used is specified. In this case, the benefit allocating unit 113 may allocate a benefit to the recommended exercise schedule if the type of location or type of exercise service matches.

When determining to allocate a benefit to a recommended exercise schedule, the benefit allocation unit 113 may determine the value of the benefit to be given to the recommended user for the recommended exercise schedule. At this time, the privilege allocating unit 113 may determine an allocation value indicating the maximum value of the privilege to be provided, instead of determining the value itself of the privilege to be provided. As a result of determining the allocated value, its maximum value may be zero. In other words, there is no need to substantially assign benefits to the recommended exercise schedule. The benefit allocation unit 113 may first determine the allocation priority and then determine the allocation value according to this allocation priority. Determining the allocation priority may correspond to determining an allocated allocation value. The method for determining the allocation priority or the method for determining the allocation value may be common to all benefits, or may be defined for each benefit. For example, the benefit allocation unit 113 may determine the allocation priority according to the allocation priority calculation method stored in the benefit information DB 14f, and may determine the allocation value according to the allocation priority according to the allocation method. Examples of information used for determining the allocation value, particularly for determining the allocation priority, include the information shown below.

The benefit allocation unit 113 may determine the allocation priority (or allocation value) based on the attributes of the recommended user. For example, when using the exercise information providing service, the user may be able to use the user terminal 7 to select whether he likes or dislikes each exercise type. . Information indicating likes or dislikes selected for each exercise event may be stored in the user basic information DB 14a, for example. The benefit allocating unit 113 gives a higher allocation priority to the exercise event of the recommended exercise content or the exercise event of the award target exercise specified in the recommended exercise schedule if the recommendation destination user dislikes it than if he or she likes it. You can.

The benefit allocation unit 113 may determine the allocation priority depending on the usage status of the exercise information providing service by the recommended user. For example, the allocation priority may be higher as the usage status indicates that the recommended user is using the exercise information service in a manner more preferable to the operator providing the exercise information providing service. Alternatively, the allocation priority may be higher as the usage status indicates that the exercise information providing service is attracting recommended users more strongly.

The benefit allocation unit 113 determines the allocation priority according to the amount of usage fee charged to the recommended user for the recommended user's use of the exercise information providing service as the usage status of the exercise information providing service. You may. For example, a plurality of price plans may be set for the exercise information providing service. The usage fee differs between the rate plans, and the content or quality of the service provided by the exercise information providing service also changes. The higher the usage fee of a rate plan, the more preferential treatment the user may receive in the exercise information providing service. At least one rate plan may be a plan with no usage fee. The benefit allocation unit 113 may set the allocation priority higher as the usage fee of the rate plan to which the recommended user is subscribed is higher. In order to specify the rate plan, for example, the user basic information DB 14a may store information indicating the rate plan of each user.

The benefit allocation unit 113 may determine the allocation priority according to the number of related services in which the recommended user's account is linked with the exercise information providing service, as the usage status of the exercise information providing service. For example, the higher the number of related services, the higher the allocation priority.

The benefit allocation unit 113 determines the number of items of information regarding the recommended user that the exercise information providing server 1 can obtain from related services in which the account of the recommended user is linked with the exercise information providing service, as the usage status of the exercise information providing service. The allocation priority may be determined according to the following. For example, the number of information items that can be acquired by the exercise information providing server 1 may be determined in advance for each related service. The benefit allocation unit 113 may calculate the total number of items corresponding to related services linked to accounts. Then, the benefit allocation unit 113 may increase the allocation priority as the total number of items increases. Examples of items of information related to recommended users include usage logs of facilities or services, distance traveled by walking, running, etc., calorie consumption, heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, blood oxygen concentration, and the like.

The benefit allocation unit 113 may determine the allocation priority according to the number of times the recommended user logs into the exercise information providing service as the usage status of the exercise information providing service. The benefit allocation unit 113 may calculate the number of logins within a predetermined period in the past. For example, the higher the number of logins, the higher the allocation priority. In order to count the number of logins, the storage unit 14 may store, for example, the login history of each user.

The privilege allocation unit 113 may determine the allocation priority according to the total amount of exercise record content that the exercise information providing server 1 has received from the user terminal 7 of the recommended user as the usage status of the exercise information providing service. The total amount of exercise record content may be the sum of data sizes of one or more exercise record contents. The benefit allocation unit 113 may calculate the total amount of one or more exercise record contents received within a predetermined period in the past. The larger the total amount, the higher the allocation priority. The benefit allocation unit 113 may calculate the total data amount for only the exercise record content by the user terminal 7 in response to the recommended user performing an operation of selecting recording or transmitting the exercise record content. That is, only the exercise record content sent by the user's intention may be considered. Examples of such exercise recording content include moving images and still images.

The benefit allocating unit 113 selects exercise schedules that have been recommended to the recommendation destination user as exercise schedules that are scheduled to be carried out in the past than the scheduled time slot on the scheduled date included in the recommended exercise schedule determined by the recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112. Past performance level information indicating the extent to which the recommended user has performed exercise in accordance with the recommended exercise schedule may be acquired. Exercising in accordance with the past recommended exercise schedule may mean, for example, performing the exercise specified in the past recommended exercise schedule during the scheduled time on the scheduled date specified in the past recommended exercise schedule. good. The past performance level information may be the number of times the user has exercised, indicating the number of recommended exercise plans in which the user has exercised, among the recommended exercise plans in the past predetermined period. Alternatively, the past performance level information may be a completion rate that indicates the proportion of recommended exercise plans in which the user exercised among past recommended exercise plans. The privilege allocation unit 113 may set the allocation priority higher as the number of consumption increases or the consumption rate increases. The benefit allocation unit 113 may refer to the exercise performance determination results stored in the schedule DB 14e, for example, and determine whether or not exercise has been performed for each recommended exercise schedule. Alternatively, the privilege allocation unit 113 may acquire exercise record content based on the exercise log ID stored in the schedule DB 14e. Then, the benefit allocation unit 113 may determine whether or not exercise has been performed based on the exercise record content. An example of a method for determining whether to exercise will be described later.

The recommended exercise schedule that is the target of calculation of the number of digested items or the digested rate may be limited. For example, the benefit allocating unit 113 may count only the number of past recommended exercise schedules in which recommended users performed exercises specified by the sponsor of the assigned benefit. For example, only recommended exercise schedules having the same exercise content as the exercise content of the benefit acquisition condition indicated by the benefit information stored in the benefit information DB 14f may be counted. For example, it is assumed that the benefit acquisition condition for the benefit assigned to the recommended exercise schedule specifies that the user jog or walk within a predetermined range from a supermarket operated by the sponsor. In this case, the benefit allocation unit 113 may count the recommended exercise schedule of jogging or walking within a predetermined range from the supermarket, among the past recommended exercise schedules carried out by the recommended user.

Further, for example, a set of recommended exercise schedules determined according to an exercise theme specified by a recommended user is defined as an exercise program. The benefit allocation unit 113 may determine the allocation priority according to the number of recommended exercise schedules included in the exercise program corresponding to the current exercise theme. For example, the higher the number of recommended exercise schedules, the higher the allocation priority. Alternatively, the benefit allocation unit 113 may determine the allocation priority according to the current number or consumption rate of the recommended exercise schedule included in the exercise program corresponding to the current exercise theme. As described above, the recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 determines a plurality of recommended exercise schedules so that exercise is performed at a frequency corresponding to the required exercise frequency stored in the exercise theme DB 14b. In order to specify the recommended exercise schedule included in the exercise program, the schedule DB 14e may store an exercise theme ID or information that identifies the exercise program in association with the schedule information.

The benefit allocation unit 113 may determine the allocation priority based on the exercise type specified in the recommended exercise schedule to which the benefit is allocated. For example, the privilege allocating unit 113 may set the allocation priority higher for an exercise event that imposes a higher load on the user. For example, running is more demanding than walking. The storage unit 14 may store information indicating the exercise load of each exercise type.

The benefit allocation unit 113 may determine the allocation priority by using a combination of two or more of the above-mentioned information. For example, the benefit allocating unit 113 may generate a machine learning model that receives two or more pieces of information as input and outputs the probability that the recommended user performs the recommended exercise content. The benefit allocation unit 113 may use the implementation probability output from the machine learning model as the allocation priority.

[3-4. Providing recommended exercise schedule information]
The information providing unit 114 transmits recommended exercise schedule information indicating the recommended exercise schedule determined by the recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 to the user terminal 7 of the recommended user. Here, when the recommended exercise schedule is determined by the benefit allocation unit 113 to be a benefit eligible exercise schedule, the information providing unit 114 further provides benefit applicable information indicating that the recommended exercise schedule is determined to be a benefit eligible exercise schedule. It may also be transmitted to the user terminal 7. That is, the benefit target information indicates that a benefit is assigned to the recommended exercise schedule. The benefit target information may indicate the allocated value determined by the benefit allocation unit 113. Further, the benefit target information may indicate the content of the benefit. Further, when the benefit granting unit 116 determines to grant a benefit to the recommended user for the benefit eligible exercise schedule, the information providing unit 114 further sends benefit grant information indicating that the benefit will be granted to the user terminal 7. You can also send it. The benefit award information may indicate the value of the award provided. Further, the benefit grant information may indicate the details of the benefit to be granted.

For example, the information providing unit 114 may search the schedule DB 14e for schedule information associated with the user ID of the recommended user. Among these schedule information, schedule information whose schedule status is set to valid is schedule information of a recommended exercise schedule. The information providing unit 114 may search the benefit supply DB 14g for benefit supply information including a schedule ID that matches the schedule ID of the searched schedule information. The information providing unit 114 may search the benefit information DB 14f for benefit information including a benefit ID that matches the benefit ID included in the searched benefit supply information. The information providing unit 114 may associate each schedule information with schedule information, benefit information, and benefit supply information and transmit the user information 7.

The user terminal 7 may display a schedule screen based on the information received from the information providing unit 114. The schedule screen may be a screen showing an exercise schedule. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a schedule screen 200 displayed by the user terminal 7. As shown in FIG. The schedule screen 200 is a screen showing an exercise schedule. Schedule screen 200 may include at least one schedule area 210. The schedule area 210 is an area that shows the schedule for a specific day. In FIG. 2, as the schedule area 210, schedule areas 210-1 and 210-2 are displayed. Schedule area 210-1 shows yesterday's schedule. Schedule area 210-2 shows today's schedule. It may be possible to change the date on which the schedule is displayed by a user operation. Each schedule area 210 includes a time gauge 211. In the time gauge 211, a plurality of times are displayed side by side in the vertical direction. Each schedule area 210 further includes an exercise content icon 212. The exercise content icon is an icon indicating a recommended exercise. At least one of text and images indicating the exercise content may be displayed on the exercise content icon 212. Further, the vertical position of the schedule icon 212 with respect to the time gauge 211 indicates the start time and end time of the recommended exercise schedule. When the user selects the schedule icon 212, the user terminal 7 may display details of the recommended exercise schedule corresponding to the schedule icon 212 on the screen. For example, the type of exercise, the scheduled date, the scheduled start time, the scheduled end time, the location where the exercise will be performed, the exercise service to be used, the implementation mode of the exercise, the exercise method and procedure, etc. may be displayed. An example of the exercise is performing exercise in accordance with an exercise video. When the user operates the user terminal 7, the user terminal 7 may play the exercise video. In FIG. 9, exercise content icons 212-1, 212-2, and 212-3 are displayed as the exercise content icon 212 in the schedule area 210-1. Further, an exercise content icon 212-4 is displayed in the schedule area 210-2. For example, the exercise content icon 212-4 indicates that HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) will be performed between 21:00 and 23:00 today.

A benefit icon 213 may be displayed near any exercise content icon 212. The benefit icon 213 indicates that a benefit is assigned to the recommended exercise schedule indicated by the nearby exercise content icon 212. When the user selects the advantageous value icon 213, the user terminal 7 may display, for example, the type and content of the allocated benefit, the conditions for acquiring the benefit, and the allocated value on the screen. Further, an exercise implementation icon 214 may be displayed near any exercise content icon 212. The exercise execution icon 214 indicates that the user has exercised in accordance with the recommended exercise schedule indicated by the nearby exercise content icon 212. In addition, a privilege acquired icon 215 may be displayed near any of the exercise implementation icons 214. The reward acquired icon 215 indicates that the user has acquired a benefit by performing the exercise indicated by the nearby exercise implementation icon 214. When the user selects the benefit acquired icon 215, the user terminal 7 may display, for example, the type and content of the granted benefit, and the value of the benefit on the screen.

The schedule screen 200 further includes a benefit acquisition status 220. The benefit acquisition status 220 may indicate, for example, the total value of benefits allocated to the user within a predetermined period and the total value of benefits granted to the user within that period. Schedule screen 200 further includes recommended exercise area 230. The recommended exercise area 230 may include an exercise content icon 231. The exercise content icon 231 is the same icon as the exercise content icon 212 displayed in the schedule area 210. The details of the recommended exercise schedule may also be displayed when the user selects the exercise content icon 231.

The information providing unit 114 may generate a web page corresponding to a schedule screen, for example, and transmit the web page to the user terminal 7.

[3-5. Obtaining exercise record content]
The exercise record content acquisition unit 115 acquires exercise record content showing evidence of exercise by the recommended user. After acquiring the exercise record content, the exercise record content acquisition unit 115 may cause the storage unit 14 to store the exercise record content. The exercise record content includes content acquired from the user terminal 7 and content acquired from the related service server 6.

Examples of content acquired from the user terminal 7 include moving images, still images, position information, motion information, biological information, playback logs of exercise videos, and the like.

If the exercise recording content is a moving image, the user can use the user terminal 7 to record a video of the user exercising. Furthermore, if the recommended exercise schedule or the privilege acquisition condition specifies a place to exercise, the user can cause the user terminal 7 to take a still image of the place. At this time, the user terminal 7 may record location information indicating the location of the shooting location. For example, position information may be recorded in still image data in a format such as EXif (Exchangeable image file format). When the exercise record content is position information, the user terminal 7 may periodically record the position information and transmit it to the exercise information providing server 1 regardless of the date and time. The motion information may include information detected by at least one of an acceleration sensor, a magnetic sensor, a gyro sensor, etc., for example. The user terminal 7 may periodically record the motion information and transmit it to the exercise information providing server 1 regardless of the date and time. Information detected by these sensors is collected as information indicating the behavior of the recommended user. The biological information may indicate at least one of the recommended user's heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, blood oxygen concentration, etc., for example. The user terminal 7 may periodically record biological information and transmit it to the exercise information providing server 1 regardless of the date and time. When recording exercise record content, the user terminal 7 may also record the recording date and time of the exercise record content. The user terminal 7 may add the recording date and time to the exercise record content and transmit it to the exercise information providing server 1. If the exercise recording content is a playback log of an exercise video, for example, when the exercise video starts playing, the user terminal 7 sends, for example, the URL of the exercise video, the playback start date and time, and the schedule ID of the recommended exercise schedule to the exercise information providing server 1. You can also send it to The exercise record content acquisition unit 115 may store the received information in the storage unit 14 as a playback log. Further, when the user terminal 7 finishes playing the exercise motion, the user terminal 7 sends, for example, the URL of the exercise video, the playback end date and time, the schedule ID of the recommended exercise schedule, and the playback position of the exercise video at the time the playback ends to the exercise information providing server 1. You can also send it. The exercise record content acquisition unit 115 may store the received information in the storage unit 14 as a playback log.

An example of the information acquired from the related service server 6 is a usage log of an exercise facility or an exercise service. For example, the usage log may include identification information that identifies the usage log, information that identifies the user, and the start date and time or end date and time of usage of the exercise facility or exercise service. The usage log may include the amount of usage fee paid by the user for using the exercise facility or exercise service. After acquiring the usage log, the exercise record content acquisition unit 115 may store the usage log in the database separately for each related service from which it was acquired. Another example of the information acquired from the related service server 6 is exercise status information. The exercise record content acquisition unit 115 receives, for example, exercise status information, information that identifies the user, information that identifies the exercise status information, the date and time when the exercise was performed, the date and time when the information was detected, etc. from the related service server 6. You may obtain it. The exercise record content acquisition unit 115 may store the acquired exercise status information in the database separately for each related service from which it is acquired.

After acquiring the exercise record content and storing it in the storage unit 14, the exercise record content acquisition unit 115 may store the exercise log in the exercise history DB. For example, the exercise record content acquisition unit 115 acquires a new exercise log ID, the recording date and time, the exercise record content type according to the type of exercise record content and the related service server 6 of the acquisition destination, and the identification set for the exercise record content. An exercise log including an exercise record content ID corresponding to the information may be generated. When the exercise recording content is a playback history of an exercise video, the recording date and time may be the playback start date and time or the playback end date and time. When the exercise record content is a usage log, the recording date and time may be the usage start date and time. When the exercise record content is exercise status information, the recording date and time may be the date and time when the exercise was performed, the date and time when the exercise status information was detected, or the like.

The exercise record content acquisition unit 115 may associate the exercise record content with the recommended exercise schedule. For example, the exercise record content acquisition unit 115 may search the schedule DB 14e for schedule information that includes a recording date and time between the schedule start date and time and the schedule end date and time, among the schedule information indicating the recommended exercise schedule of the recommended destination user. good. If there is no corresponding schedule information, the exercise record content acquisition unit 115 obtains schedule information of the recommended exercise schedule whose scheduled start date and time or scheduled end date and time are closest to the recording date and time, among the recommended exercise schedules on the date indicated by the recording date and time. You can also search for . The exercise record content acquisition unit 115 may add the exercise log ID to the searched schedule information and perform association. If there is no corresponding schedule information, the exercise record content acquisition unit 115 does not need to perform the association. When a video or still image is captured, the user can select the corresponding recommended exercise schedule and then transmit the video or still image to the exercise information providing server 1. Furthermore, when playing an exercise video, the user may be able to select a recommended exercise schedule and then have the user terminal 7 play back the exercise video corresponding to the recommended exercise schedule. In these cases, the exercise record content and the recommended exercise schedule can be associated without depending on the recording date and time.

[3-6. Granting benefits]
After the recommended exercise schedule is determined by the benefit allocation unit 113 to be a benefit eligible exercise schedule, the benefit granting unit 116 selects the exercise record content acquired by the exercise record content acquisition unit 115 as the recommended exercise content included in the recommended exercise schedule. If it is shown that the recommended user performed the exercise included in the date and time included in the benefit target time range indicated by the benefit information, it may be determined that the recommended user is given the benefit. Here, even if the recommended user does not exercise during the scheduled time specified in the recommended exercise schedule, if the recommended user exercises during the time specified in the reward acquisition conditions, the recommended user will receive the benefit. There is a possibility that it can be done. Note that the benefit granting unit 116 may grant a benefit only when the recommended user exercises during the scheduled time on the scheduled day of the recommended exercise schedule.

The method for determining whether or not the recommended user has performed the exercise with the benefit target exercise content may be determined depending on the exercise content and exercise record content.

When the exercise content eligible for the benefit includes only exercise types, examples of the exercise record content to be used include a video, motion information, biometric information, location information of the user terminal 7, usage log, and exercise status information. When the exercise record content is a video, for example, the privilege granting unit 116 may detect a recommended user's video from the video. For example, the privilege granting unit 116 may detect each joint of the recommended user from each frame of the video and specify the posture of the recommended user. The privilege granting unit 116 may identify the recommended user's posture using a posture estimation model. Examples of pose estimation models include DeepPose, Convolutional Pose Machines, HRNet, etc. The privilege granting unit 116 may specify the motion from the posture specified from each frame. For each exercise item, one or more pieces of information indicating the movement of the exercise item may be stored in the storage unit 14. If the motion of the recommended user is similar to the motion of the exercise of that type by a predetermined percentage or more, the privilege granting unit 116 may determine that the recommended user has performed the exercise. If the exercise record content is motion information, it is possible to roughly specify the motion of the recommended user. If the motion of the recommended user is similar to the motion of the exercise event by a predetermined percentage or more, it may be determined that the recommended user has performed the exercise. When the exercise record content is biometric information acquired from the user terminal 7 or biometric information included in the exercise status information, the benefit granting unit 116 determines that the value of a specific item indicated by the biometric information indicates that the exercise type is the user's If the recommended user has performed the exercise, it may be determined that the recommended user has performed the exercise. If the exercise event involves continuous movement by the user, position information can be used as exercise record content. Examples of such exercise events include walking, jogging, cycling, and the like. For example, if the privilege granting unit 116 determines that the recommended user is moving at a speed equal to or higher than the threshold value corresponding to the type of exercise based on the position information, the bonus granting unit 116 determines that the recommended user has performed the exercise. good. If the exercise record content is a usage log, and the usage log indicates that the recommended user used an exercise facility or exercise service that allows the exercise of that type, even if it is determined that the recommended user performed the exercise. good. When the exercise record content is exercise status information other than biological information, the benefit granting unit 116 may determine whether the recommended user has performed the exercise based on the exercise status information.

When the exercise content eligible for the benefit includes the location where the exercise is performed, examples of the exercise record content that may be used include still images, location information of the user terminal 7, and exercise facility usage logs. When the exercise record content is a still image, the privilege granting unit 116 may use image recognition to identify the shooting position from the still image. If the still image has location information about the shooting location recorded, the privilege granting unit 116 may acquire the location information. The benefit granting unit 116 may compare the acquired location information with bonus exercise location information of the location where the exercise is performed, and determine whether the recommended user has gone to that location. Location information of the user terminal 7 can also be used in the same way. If the exercise record content is a usage log of an exercise facility, the information indicating the exercise facility used or the location information indicating the location of the exercise facility is compared with the bonus exercise location information to determine whether the recommended user has visited that location. It may also be determined whether or not the If the recommended user goes to that location, the benefit granting unit 116 may determine that the recommended user has performed the exercise. Alternatively, as described above, the benefit granting unit 116 may further determine whether the recommended user has actually performed the exercise of the exercise type.

When the exercise content eligible for the benefit specifies an exercise service to be used, an example of the exercise record content to be used is a usage log of the exercise service.

When the exercise content eligible for the benefit includes exercising in accordance with an exercise video, examples of the exercise recording content that may be used include a playback history of the exercise video and the video. When the exercise record content is a playback history, the benefit granting unit 116 recommends that, for example, if the playback history indicates that the exercise video has been played from the beginning to the end, the recommended user may perform the exercise of the exercise content eligible for the benefit. It may be determined that it has been implemented. When the exercise recording content is a video, the privilege granting unit 116 may detect, for example, from each exercise video, the motion of the person shown in the exercise video. The privilege granting unit 116 may store information on the detected motion in the storage unit 14 in advance. As described above, the benefit granting unit 116 detects a motion from a video taken by the recommended user, calculates the degree of similarity between the motion and the motion detected from the exercise video, and determines whether the recommended user has exercised. It may be determined whether or not.

The privilege granting unit 116 may combine a plurality of types of exercise record contents to comprehensively determine whether the recommended user has performed the exercise of the privilege target exercise content.

The benefit granting unit 116 determines whether the recommended user is eligible for the benefit by determining whether the recording date and time of the exercise record content in which it is determined that the recommended user performed the exercise with the benefit eligible exercise content is included in the time range eligible for the benefit. It may also be determined whether exercise has been performed within a time range.

If it is determined that the recommended user has exercised the exercise content eligible for the benefit within the time range eligible for the benefit, the benefit granting unit 116 may determine to provide the recommended user with the benefit. When deciding to provide a benefit, the benefit granting unit 116 determines a grant value indicating the value of the benefit to be granted to the recommended user for the recommended exercise schedule based on the exercise record content acquired by the exercise record content acquisition unit 115. You may. At this time, the benefit granting unit 116 may determine the granted value within a range that is equal to or less than the assigned value determined by the benefit allocating unit 113. For example, assume that the assigned value is 20 points. On the other hand, assume that 50 points are calculated as points given by the recommended user based on the exercise record content. In this case, the added value is 20 points. As a result of determining the assigned value, the assigned value may become zero. In other words, it is not necessary that the recommended user is substantially given no benefit. The benefit allocation unit 113 may first determine the granting priority and then determine the allocated value according to this granting priority. Determining the granting priority may correspond to determining the granting value. The method for determining the grant priority or the method for determining the grant value may be common to all benefits, or may be defined for each benefit. The benefit granting unit 116 may determine the granting priority according to the granting priority calculation method stored in the benefit information DB 14f, for example, and may determine the granting value according to the granting priority according to the granting method. Examples of information used for determining the assigned value, particularly for determining the assigned priority, include the information shown below.

The benefit granting unit 116 may determine the granting priority based on the extent to which the recommended user has performed the recommended exercise content. The benefit granting unit 116 may set the granting priority higher as the degree of implementation is greater. In this case, the degree of implementation may be, for example, the execution time of the recommended exercise content, or the ratio of the exercise implementation time of the recommended exercise content to the length of the scheduled time period of the recommended exercise schedule. . The longer the implementation time or the higher the ratio, the higher the priority given. For example, when a moving image or motion information is used as the exercise recording content, the privilege granting unit 116 may specify the execution time from a set of recording dates and times of the motions performed in the recommended exercise content. When a usage log is used as the exercise record content, the privilege granting unit 116 may calculate, for example, the length from the start date and time of use of the exercise facility or exercise service to the end date and time of use as the implementation time. If the exercise type of the recommended exercise content is one that involves continuous movement by the user, position information can be used as exercise record content. In this case, the benefit granting unit 116 may calculate the length of time during which the recommended user is moving at a speed equal to or higher than a threshold value corresponding to the type of exercise as the execution time. When the exercise record content is biometric information, the privilege granting unit 116 determines that the value of a specific item indicated by the biometric information is greater than or equal to a threshold value determined according to the load that the exercise type imposes on the user. The length of time may be calculated as the implementation time.

The benefit granting unit 116 may determine the granting priority according to the usage status of the exercise facility or exercise service by the recommended user when performing the recommended exercise content. This usage status may be whether or not an exercise facility or exercise service is used. For example, if the recommended user uses an exercise facility or an exercise service that allows exercise of the recommended exercise content, the benefit granting unit 116 provides a benefit granting unit 116 that provides a higher reward than if the recommended user did not use such an exercise facility or exercise service. , the granting priority may be increased. Based on location information and usage logs, it is possible to determine whether or not the device is being used.

The usage status may be a usage fee charged to the recommended user for the recommended user's use of the exercise facility or exercise service. The benefit granting unit 116 may set the granting priority higher, for example, as the usage fee for an exercise facility or exercise service that allows the recommended exercise content to be exercised is higher. Usage fees can be determined based on usage logs.

The benefit granting unit 116 may increase the grant value only when the user uses an exercise facility or exercise service operated by the sponsor of the benefit assigned to the recommended exercise schedule.

The benefit granting unit 116 may determine the granting priority by using a combination of two or more of the above-mentioned information.

[4. Operation of exercise information provision server system]
Next, the operation of the exercise information providing server 1 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12. FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of recommended exercise schedule determination processing by the system control unit 11 of the information providing server 1 according to the present embodiment. For example, the system control unit 11 may execute the recommended exercise schedule determination process after acquiring user basic information and schedule information from the user terminal 7 of the recommended user and storing them in the storage unit 14. Thereafter, the system control unit 11 may execute the recommended exercise schedule determination process, for example, every predetermined number of days.

As shown in FIG. 10, the recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 searches the schedule DB 14e for schedule information associated with the user ID of the recommended user, so that, for example, the recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 searches the schedule information associated with the user ID of the recommended user from the schedule DB 14e, and thereby performs the following exercise, for example, between today or tomorrow and a predetermined number of days later. Combinations of dates and time slots with no plans are extracted (step S101).

Next, the recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 selects an exercise content that can be performed on a date and time when there is no schedule and that includes an exercise event that matches the exercise event of the exercise theme specified by the recommended user. Information is searched (step S102). For example, the recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 may acquire an event ID associated with an exercise theme ID that matches the exercise theme ID from the exercise theme DB 14b. The recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 may search the exercise content type information including the acquired event ID from the exercise content type DB 14d. The recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 may search the exercise content DB 14c for exercise content information including the exercise content type ID included in the searched exercise content type information. The recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 may search the searched exercise content information for exercise content information in which the minimum exercise time indicated by the exercise time information is less than the length of a time period with no schedule.

The recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 determines whether or not there is corresponding exercise content information as a result of the search in step S102 (step S103). If there is no corresponding exercise content information (step S103: NO), the recommended exercise schedule determination process ends.

If there is corresponding exercise content information (step S103: YES), the recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 generates a table containing the searched exercise content type information. Next, the recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 searches for exercise content information whose exercise content includes performing an exercise in accordance with an exercise video (step S104). For example, the recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 may search the exercise content type DB 14d for the exercise content type ID of the exercise content type information for which the video flag is set to be valid. The recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 may search for exercise content information including the searched exercise content type ID from the created table.

The recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 determines whether or not there is corresponding exercise content information as a result of the search in step S104 (step S105). If there is corresponding exercise content information (step S05: YES), the process proceeds to step S109. If there is no corresponding exercise content information (step S105: NO), the recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 acquires the location information associated with the user ID of the recommended user from the location information DB 14h (step S106). Then, the recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 identifies the current location of the recommended user or the past location of the recommended user. Next, the recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 searches for exercise content information in which the exercise content specifies a place within a predetermined range from the user's position as a place to perform the exercise (step S107). For example, the recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 may search the exercise content type DB 14d for the exercise content type ID of the exercise content type information for which the location designation flag is set to be valid. The recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 may extract exercise content information including the searched exercise content type ID from the created table. The recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 may specify the location of the place where the exercise is to be performed based on the recommended exercise location information included in the extracted exercise content information and the map DB. Then, the recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 may search for exercise content information in which the location of the exercise location is within a predetermined range from the user's position from the extracted exercise content information.

Next, the recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 determines whether or not there is corresponding exercise content information as a result of the search in step S107 (step S108). Regardless of whether or not there is corresponding exercise content information, the process proceeds to step S109.

In step S109, the recommended exercise schedule determination unit 112 stores schedule information of the recommended exercise schedule in the schedule DB 14e. If there is corresponding exercise content information in step S105 (step S105: YES), schedule information is generated based on the exercise content information. If there is corresponding exercise content information in step S108 (step S108: YES), schedule information is generated based on the exercise content information. If there is no corresponding exercise content information in step S108 (step S108: NO), schedule information is generated based on the exercise content information searched in step S103. For example, the recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 uses the user ID of the recommended user, the new schedule ID, the determined scheduled start date and time, the scheduled end date and time, the exercise content ID included in the exercise content information, the exercise content type ID, and the recommended exercise content type ID. Schedule information including exercise location information and a validly set schedule status may be generated and stored. When step S109 ends, the recommended exercise schedule determination process ends.

Note that the recommended exercise schedule determining unit 112 may determine the number of recommended exercise schedules corresponding to the required exercise frequency stored in the exercise theme DB 14b and store the schedule information.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of privilege allocation processing by the system control unit 11 of the information providing server 1 according to the present embodiment. For example, the system control unit 11 may execute the benefit allocation process for each schedule information of the recommended exercise schedule stored in the schedule DB 14e in the recommended exercise schedule determination process.

As shown in FIG. 11, the benefit allocation unit 113 determines that the benefit target time range includes the scheduled time period on the scheduled date of the recommended exercise schedule indicated by the schedule information, and the benefit target exercise content includes the exercise type of the recommended exercise content. The included benefit information is searched (step S201). For example, the benefit allocation unit 113 may acquire the event ID associated with the recommended exercise content ID of the recommended exercise content from the exercise content DB 14c. The benefit allocation unit 113 may search the exercise content type DB 14d for an exercise content type ID associated with an event ID that matches the acquired event ID. The benefit allocation unit 113 searches the benefit information DB 14f for benefit information that includes the searched exercise content type ID and includes a benefit target time range that includes both the scheduled start date and time and the scheduled end date and time included in the schedule information. You can.

Next, the benefit allocation unit 113 determines whether or not there is any applicable benefit information as a result of the search in step S201 (step S202). If there is no corresponding benefit information (step S202: NO), the benefit allocation process ends.

If there is applicable benefit information (step S202: YES), the benefit allocation unit 113 generates a table containing the searched benefit information. Next, the benefit allocation unit 113 determines whether or not the recommended exercise schedule specifies that the user should exercise in accordance with the exercise video (step S203). For example, the benefit allocation unit 113 may acquire the exercise content type ID associated with the exercise content ID of the recommended exercise content from the exercise content DB 14c. The benefit allocation unit 113 may acquire a video flag associated with the acquired exercise content type ID from the exercise content type DB 14d. The benefit allocating unit 113 may determine whether or not it is designated to exercise in accordance with the exercise video, based on this video flag. If exercising in accordance with the exercise video is specified (step S203: YES), the benefit allocation unit 113 selects the benefit information in which exercising in accordance with the video is specified in the benefit acquisition conditions. is searched for (step S204). For example, the benefit allocating unit 113 may search the exercise content type DB 14d for an exercise content type ID associated with a validly set video flag. The benefit allocation unit 113 may search for benefit information including the searched exercise content type ID from the generated table. The benefit allocating unit 113 determines whether or not there is any applicable benefit information as a result of the search in step S204 (step S205). If there is corresponding benefit information (step S205: YES), the process proceeds to step S212.

If there is no corresponding benefit information (step S205: NO), or if exercising in accordance with the exercise video is not specified (step S203: NO), the benefit allocation unit 113 selects the recommended exercise schedule and the exercise It is determined whether a place where the process is to be carried out has been specified (step S206). For example, the benefit allocation unit 113 may acquire the exercise content type ID associated with the exercise content ID of the recommended exercise content from the exercise content DB 14c. The benefit allocation unit 113 may acquire the location designation flag associated with the acquired exercise content type ID from the exercise content type DB 14d. The privilege allocating unit 113 may determine whether or not a place for exercising has been specified based on this place designation flag.

If the location where the exercise is to be performed is specified (step S206: YES), the benefit allocation unit 113 selects a benefit exercise indicating a location that matches the location indicated in the recommended exercise location information of the recommended exercise schedule from the generated table. Privilege information including location information is searched (step S207). The benefit allocation unit 113 determines whether or not there is any applicable benefit information as a result of the search in step S207 (step S208). If there is corresponding benefit information (step S208: YES), the process proceeds to step S212.

If there is no corresponding benefit information (step S208: NO) or if the place where the exercise is to be performed is not specified (step S206: NO), the benefit allocation unit 113 specifies the exercise service to be used in the recommended exercise schedule. It is determined whether or not (step S209). For example, the benefit allocation unit 113 may acquire the exercise content type ID associated with the exercise content ID of the recommended exercise content from the exercise content DB 14c. The benefit allocation unit 113 may acquire the service designation flag associated with the acquired exercise content type ID from the exercise content type DB 14d. The benefit allocation unit 113 may determine whether the exercise service to be used has been specified based on this service designation flag. If the exercise service to be used has not been specified (step S209: NO), the process advances to step S212.

If the exercise service to be used is specified (step S209: YES), the benefit allocation unit 113 selects a benefit exercise indicating a location that matches the exercise service indicated in the recommended exercise service information of the recommended exercise schedule from the generated table. Search for benefit information including service information (step S210). The benefit allocation unit 113 determines whether or not there is any applicable benefit information as a result of the search in step S210 (step S211). Regardless of whether or not there is corresponding benefit information, the process proceeds to step S212.

In step S212, the benefit allocation unit 113 calculates the allocation priority based on the allocation priority calculation method included in the benefit information (step S212). If there is applicable benefit information in step S205 (step S205), calculation is performed using that benefit information. If there is applicable benefit information in step S208 (step S208: YES), calculation is performed using that benefit information. If there is applicable benefit information in step S211 (step S211: YES), calculation is performed using that benefit information. If no exercise service is specified in step S209 (step S209: NO) or if there is no corresponding benefit information in step S211 (step S211: NO), the calculation is performed using the benefit information searched in step S201. Ru. For example, the benefit allocation unit 113 may acquire information on items indicated by the allocation priority calculation method. The benefit allocation unit 113 may determine the allocation priority using the acquired information and a calculation formula indicated by the allocation priority calculation method. Next, the benefit allocation unit 113 determines the allocation value based on the allocation priority and the allocation method included in the benefit information (step S213). Next, the benefit allocation unit 113 stores the benefit supply information in the benefit supply DB 14g (step S214). For example, the benefit allocation unit 113 generates benefit supply information that includes the benefit ID of the searched benefit information, the user ID of the recommended user, the schedule ID of the schedule information of the recommended exercise schedule, and the assignment priority and assignment value. and may be stored. When step S214 ends, the benefit allocation process ends.

Note that when the allocation method of the allocated benefits is a relative value method, the benefit allocation unit 113 determines the allocation priority after determining the number of recommended exercise schedules according to the allocation method or the reward budget to be eligible for the benefits. The assigned value may be determined by ranking each recommended exercise schedule in descending order.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a benefit award determination process by the system control unit 11 of the information providing server 1 according to the present embodiment. For example, in the benefit allocation process, the system control unit 11 executes the benefit provision determination process for the schedule information of each recommended exercise schedule whose scheduled date is yesterday, among the recommended exercise schedules whose benefit supply information is stored in the benefit supply DB 14g. You may.

As shown in FIG. 12, the benefit granting unit 116 acquires exercise log content corresponding to the recommended exercise schedule (step S301). For example, the benefit granting unit 116 may acquire an exercise log including the exercise log ID included in the schedule information from the exercise history DB 14i. The benefit granting unit 116 may acquire the exercise record content specified by the recording date and time or exercise record content ID included in the acquired exercise log from the source indicated by the exercise record content type included in the acquired exercise log. .

Next, the benefit granting unit 116 acquires benefit information (step S302). For example, the benefit provision unit 116 may acquire benefit supply information including a schedule ID that matches the schedule ID of the recommended exercise schedule from the benefit supply DB 14g. The benefit granting unit 116 may acquire benefit information including a benefit ID that matches the benefit ID included in the acquired benefit supply information from the benefit information DB 14f.

Next, the benefit granting unit 116 determines whether the recommended exercise content has been exercised within the benefit target time range of the assigned benefit (step S303). For example, the benefit granting unit 116 may acquire, from the exercise content DB 14c, an event ID associated with an exercise content ID that matches the recommended exercise content ID included in the schedule information of the recommended exercise schedule. The benefit granting unit 116 determines whether or not the recommended exercise content has been performed within the benefit time range based on the acquired exercise record content, event ID, and benefit time range included in the benefit information. Good too. If the recommended exercise content is not performed within the benefit target time range (step S303: NO), the benefit granting unit 116 sets the granting priority to the lowest priority and sets the granting value to zero ( Step S304). Further, the benefit granting unit 116 stores the grant priority and the grant value in the benefit supply DB 14g in association with the schedule ID that matches the schedule ID of the recommended exercise schedule. When step S304 ends, the benefit award determination process ends.

If the recommended exercise content is exercised within the time range covered by the benefit (step S303: YES), the benefit granting unit 116 determines whether or not the location where the exercise is to be performed is specified in the benefit acquisition conditions of the assigned benefit. (Step S305). For example, the benefit granting unit 116 may acquire a location designation flag associated with the exercise content type ID included in the acquired benefit information from the exercise content type DB 14d. The privilege granting unit 116 may determine whether or not a place for exercising has been designated based on this place designation flag.

If the location where the exercise is to be performed is specified (step S306: YES), the benefit granting unit 116 sets the benefit acquisition conditions based on the acquired exercise record content and the benefit exercise location information included in the acquired benefit information. It is determined whether the exercise was performed at the location specified in (step S306). If exercise is not being performed at the designated location (step S306: NO), the process proceeds to step S304.

If the place where the exercise is to be performed is not specified (step S305: NO), the benefit granting unit 116 determines whether the exercise service to be used is specified in the benefit acquisition conditions of the assigned benefit (step S305: NO). S307). For example, the benefit granting unit 116 may acquire a service designation flag associated with the exercise content type ID included in the acquired benefit information from the exercise content type DB 14d. The benefit granting unit 116 may determine whether the exercise service to be used has been designated based on this service designation flag.

If the exercise service to be used is specified (step S307: YES), the benefit granting unit 116 selects the benefit acquisition condition based on the acquired exercise record content and the reward exercise service information included in the acquired benefit information. It is determined whether the specified exercise service has been used (step S308). If the designated exercise service is not being used (step S308: NO), the process proceeds to step S304.

If the exercise service to be used is not specified (step S307: NO), if the specified exercise service is used (step S308: YES), or if exercise is performed at the specified place (step S306) : YES), the benefit granting unit 116 calculates the granting priority (step S309). For example, the benefit granting unit 116 may acquire information on items indicated by the granting priority calculation method included in the acquired benefit information. The benefit granting unit 116 may determine the granting priority using the acquired information and a calculation formula indicated by the granting priority calculation method. Next, the benefit grant unit 116 determines the grant value based on the grant priority and the grant method included in the benefit information (step S310). Next, the benefit allocation unit 113 determines whether the determined assigned value is higher than the assigned value included in the acquired benefit supply information (step S311). If the granted value is higher than the assigned value (step S311: YES), the benefit granting unit 116 sets the assigned value to the assigned value (step S312).

If the granted value is less than the allocated value (step S311: NO) or after step S312, the benefit granting unit 116 associates the granted priority and the granted value with the schedule ID that matches the schedule ID of the recommended exercise schedule. It is stored in the benefit supply DB 14g (step S313). At this time, the benefit granting unit 116 may cause the schedule DB 14e to store an exercise performance determination result indicating whether or not exercise has been performed in association with the schedule ID of the recommended exercise schedule. Next, the benefit granting unit 116 executes a benefit granting process (step S314). For example, when the benefit type included in the benefit information indicates points, the benefit granting unit 116 may transmit a point addition request to the point management server 3. The point addition request may include the user ID included in the schedule information of the recommended exercise schedule and the number of points determined as the granted value. The point management server 3 may add the determined number of points to the number of available points associated with the user ID. When the benefit type indicates a coupon, the benefit granting unit 116 may transmit a coupon issuance request to the coupon management server 4. The coupon issuance request may include the user ID included in the schedule information of the recommended luck schedule, the discount amount or discount rate determined as the granted value, and usage information according to the benefit type. The coupon management server 4 may generate and store issued coupon information based on the coupon issuance request. When step S314 ends, the benefit award determination process ends.
