(Information collection flow)
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an information collection flow according to the embodiment. The information collection flow according to the embodiment is executed by the information communication terminal 100. It is not necessary to execute all the steps in the following information gathering flow, and some steps may be omitted at the discretion of the user.

As shown in FIG. 2, in step S1, the control unit 140 causes the user to capture an attachment site and a surrounding site in a non-attachment state where the diaper is not attached to the wearer as a subject (hereinafter referred to as The “non-mounted state photographing screen” is displayed on the display unit 121. In addition, the site | part of the circumference | surroundings of a mounting | wearing site | part means stomach, back, a flank, and thigh circumference etc. In the non-wearing state shooting screen, the subject shot by the shooting unit 110 is displayed in real time, and one or more guide marks for adjusting the shooting position and the shooting range for the subject displayed on the shooting screen are displayed. Ru. The details of the shooting screen will be described later.

In step S2, the control unit 140 records a photographed image obtained by photographing the subject by the photographing unit 110 in step S1 (hereinafter referred to as "non-wearing state photographed image"). In the embodiment, an example in which the captured image is a still image (photograph) will be described, but the captured image may be a moving image. The control unit 140 uploads the recorded non-mounted state captured image to the server 200 together with the user's basic information.

The recording of the non-wearing state photographed image does not have to be performed each time the diaper is replaced, and may be performed at a predetermined timing. For example, when changing the product name, specifications, or size of the diaper to be used, the non-wearing state captured image may be recorded, or the non-wearing state captured image may be registered when performing initial setting or user registration of the information collecting program. You may record it.

By collecting the non-wearing state photographed image, it becomes possible to grasp the body type of the wearer, and it becomes easy to identify the cause of the occurrence of a problem such as leakage in the diaper. For example, it becomes possible to distinguish whether the cause of problems such as leakage, slippage, gather marks, etc. is the structure of the diaper or the body type of the wearer.

Next, step S3 is performed after the wearer wears the diaper and before the wearer excretes excrement. In step S3, the control unit 140 displays a shooting screen (hereinafter referred to as a "wearing state shooting screen") for allowing the user to take a picture of the diaper and surrounding area in the wearing state in which the diaper is worn by the wearer. It is displayed on the part 121. In the wearing state photographing screen, the subject photographed by the photographing unit 110 is displayed in real time, and one or more guide marks for adjusting the photographing position and the photographing range for the subject displayed on the photographing screen are displayed .

In step S4, the control unit 140 records a photographed image obtained by photographing the subject by the photographing unit 110 in step S3 (hereinafter referred to as "mounted state photographed image"). The control unit 140 uploads the recorded non-mounted state captured image to the server 200 together with the user's basic information.

As described above, by collecting the wearing state photographed images before the wearer excretes excrement, it is possible to grasp whether or not the diaper was properly worn at the start of use of the diaper.

Next, step S5 is performed after the wearer wears the diaper and after the wearer excretes excrement. In step S5, the control unit 140 causes the display unit 121 to display the mounting state photographing screen.

In step S6, the control unit 140 records the mounted state captured image obtained by the imaging unit 110 in step S5. The control unit 140 uploads the recorded non-mounted state captured image to the server 200 together with the user's basic information.

As described above, by collecting the wearing state photographed images after the wearer excretes excrement, it is possible to grasp the detailed situation immediately after using the diaper. In addition, by collecting the wearing state photographed images both before and after excretion, it is possible to grasp whether or not the gap of the diaper has already occurred at the start of use of the diaper.

Next, step S7 is performed after the wearer excretes excrement and when the wearer is not wearing the diaper (i.e., after taking the diaper). Alternatively, step S7 may be performed after the wearer excretes excrement and the wearer wears the diaper. In step S7, the control unit 140 is an input screen for causing the user to specify a problem location where a problem has occurred due to the use of the diaper, and an input including the illustration image of the diaper or the illustration image of the body including the wearing portion of the diaper. A screen (hereinafter, referred to as “problem part input screen”) is displayed on the display unit 121. The details of the problem part input screen will be described later.

In step S8, the control unit 140 receives, by the input unit 122, an operation for specifying a problem part in the illustration image displayed in step S7, and records the problem part. The control unit 140 uploads the recorded information on the problem part (problem part data) to the server 200 together with the basic information of the user.

In this manner, by having the user specify the problem part using the illustration image, the part that has caused a problem due to the use of the diaper can be efficiently and appropriately, regardless of the condition of the used diaper, the photographing environment, etc. It can be made comprehensible.

In steps S7 and S8, the control unit 140 acquires a photographed image obtained by photographing a subject including at least one of the used diaper and the diaper wearer's body, and is designated for the illustration image. Information on the problem part (problem part data) may be associated with the photographed image. Here, associating means giving the same ID, recording in the same recording area, or collectively uploading to the server. As a result, it is possible to efficiently and appropriately grasp the problem part by using the information on the problem part designated for the illustration image and the photographed image in combination.

Steps S7 and S8 may be performed in parallel with steps S5 and S6, or may be performed before steps S5 and S6.

Then, when the input unit 122 receives an operation of designating an area corresponding to a rash location on the illustration image of the body by a touch operation or a slide operation, the control unit 140 records the specified fluff location. The user can intuitively and easily designate a rash location by specifying the climax location by touch operation or slide operation on the illustration image of the body. Further, a button for attaching a photographed image (photograph) obtained by photographing the subject including the igniter portion is displayed on the entangled portion input screen. However, attachment of the photographed image is not essential and can be omitted. When the photographed image is attached (step S 708: YES), in step S 709, the control unit 140 associates the photographed image to be attached with the illustration image (problem part).

If “gather mark” is selected as the type of the problem (step S710: YES), the control unit 140 causes the display unit 121 to display a gather mark portion input screen including an illustration image of the body in step S711. Then, when the input unit 122 receives an operation of designating an area corresponding to a gather mark place on the illustration image of the body by a touch operation or a slide operation, the control unit 140 records the designated gather mark place. The user can intuitively and easily designate the gathered trace location by specifying the gathered trace location by a touch operation or a slide operation on the illustration image of the body. Further, a button for attaching a photographed image (photograph) obtained by photographing the subject including the gathered marks is displayed on the gathered marks input screen. However, attachment of the photographed image is not essential and can be omitted. When the photographed image is attached (step S712: YES), in step S713, the control unit 140 associates the photographed image to be attached with the illustration image (problem part).

When “displacement” is selected as the type of the problem (step S 714: YES), in step S 715, control unit 140 displays a displaced part input screen including a plurality of buttons indicating candidates for the dislocated part on display part 121. Let Then, when the input unit 122 receives an operation of designating a button corresponding to the shifted portion by a touch operation, the control unit 140 records the designated shifted portion. In the case of "displacement", as in the case of "Kabre" and "gather mark", the location of the deviation may be designated using an illustration image of the body. Further, on the shifted portion input screen, a button for attaching a photographed image (photograph) obtained by shooting an object including the shifted portion is displayed. However, attachment of the photographed image is not essential and can be omitted. When the photographed image is attached (step S712: YES), in step S713, the control unit 140 associates the photographed image to be attached with the illustration image (problem part).

As described above, the control unit 140 selects which of the illustration image of the diaper and the illustration image of the body to display according to the type of the problem, and displays the input screen including the selected illustration image on the display unit 121. By doing this, the illustration image can be properly used according to the type of problem caused by the use of the diaper.

As mentioned above, although the non-wearing state imaging | photography screen was demonstrated in detail, it can be set as the structure similar to a non-wearing state imaging | photography screen also about a mounting | wearing state imaging | photography screen. However, in the wearing state photographing screen, it is not necessary to provide a guide mark (for example, the guide mark GM22 in FIG. 4B) regarding the wearing part which can not be seen by the diaper.

Or you may use what processed the picked-up image (non-mounting state imaging | photography image) obtained using the non-mounting state imaging | photography screen as a guide mark in a mounting state imaging | photography screen. For example, a non-wearing state photographed image may be displayed on the wearing state photographing screen as a guide mark that is translucent. In this case, the positional relationship between the body and the diaper can be more easily grasped. Instead of processing in a translucent manner, the outline of the subject (body) in the non-wearing state captured image may be extracted, and the extracted outline may be displayed on the wearing state imaging screen as a guide mark.

(An example of the problem part input screen)
Next, an example of the problem part input screen will be described using FIGS. 5 to 8.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the first half of the problem part input screen. FIG. 6 is a view showing the second half of the problem part input screen.

As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, in the initial state, the problem part input screen that the control unit 140 causes the display unit 121 (touch panel display 120) to display causes the user to select the type of excrement that the wearer has Character strings CS1 and selection buttons SB1 to SB5, character strings CS2 and selection buttons SB6 to SB8 for selecting the presence or absence of leakage, and character strings CS6 for selecting the presence and type of other problems (other troubles) It includes selection buttons SB16 to SB20 and a registration button EB for registering input information. When one of the selection buttons is tapped by the user, the control unit 140 records information corresponding to the operated selection button.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the button SB6 indicating "with leak" or the button SB8 indicating "let's leak" is tapped with respect to the presence or absence of a leak, the control unit 140 selects the type of excrement related to the leak. Character strings CS3 and selection buttons SB9 to SB12, character strings CS4 and selection buttons SB13 to SB15 for selecting the degree of leakage, character strings CS5 for causing the user to specify the leakage location, and an illustration image IL1 of the diaper The display unit 121 displays IL2 and a button PB1 for attaching a photographed image (photograph) of the leaked portion.

Here, the illustration image IL1 of the diaper is used when the leakage point is on the front side of the diaper. When the illustration image IL1 is tapped (operated), as shown in FIG. 7A, the illustration image IL1 on the front side of the diaper is enlarged and displayed. In the example of FIG. 7A, the illustration image IL1 on the front side of the diaper includes six areas, specifically, an area corresponding to the belly, an area corresponding to the left side, and an area corresponding to the right side; It is divided into an area corresponding to the left foot, an area corresponding to the right foot, and a central area. When the OK button is tapped after one or more of the six areas are tapped, the control unit 140 records the tapped one or more areas as a leak point. By performing such area division, it is possible for the user to easily specify the leak location by a tap operation (touch operation). However, the illustration image may not be divided into a plurality of areas. When the illustration image is not divided into a plurality of areas, the user draws a leakage point by a drag operation. The control unit 140 records the leakage point specified by the drawing. By such drawing, more accurate information on the leak location can be collected regarding the degree and location of the leak.

The diaper illustration image IL2 is used when the leak point is on the back side of the diaper. When the illustration image IL2 is tapped, the illustration image IL2 on the back side of the diaper is enlarged and displayed as shown in FIG. 7 (B). In the example of FIG. 7 (B), the illustration image IL2 is divided into six regions as in the case of the illustration image IL1 described above. Instead of designating a leak location using such area division, the leak location may be specifiable using drawing by a drag operation.

Referring back to FIG. 5, when the button PB1 for attaching a captured image (photograph) of the leaked part is tapped, the control unit 140 displays a button (not shown) for selecting a method for acquiring the captured image. It is displayed on the part 121. The method of acquiring the photographed image includes a method of activating the photographing function of the information collection application, a method of selecting from the photographed images photographed by the information collection application, and a default photographing application for the information communication terminal 100 (camera There is a method of selecting from the photographed image photographed by the application). The control unit 140 acquires a captured image using the selected method.

As shown in FIG. 6, the selection buttons SB16 to SB20 for selecting the presence and the type of other problems (other troubles) include a button SB17 indicating "Cattle", a button SB18 indicating "shift", and "Gather marks". And a button SB20 indicating "other than that". When the button SB20 indicating "other than that" is tapped, the control unit 140 displays a comment input field (not shown) on the display unit 121, receives a comment input, and records it.

When the button SB17 indicating “Cattle” is tapped, the control unit 140 sets the character string CS7 and the body illustration images IL3 and IL4 for causing the user to specify the cattle portion, and the photographed image (photograph) for the cattle portion. A button PB2 for attachment is displayed on the display unit 121.

Here, the body illustration image IL3 is used when the camera shake is on the front side of the wearer's body. When the illustration image IL3 is tapped, as shown in FIG. 8A, the illustration image IL3 on the front side of the body (attachment site) is enlarged and displayed. In the example of FIG. 8A, the illustration image IL3 on the front side of the body (placement part) is equivalent to seven regions, specifically, a region corresponding to a belly, a region corresponding to the left side, and a right side Divided into an area corresponding to the left foot, an area corresponding to the right foot, an area corresponding to genitals, and an area corresponding to the anus. When the OK button is tapped after one or more of the seven regions are tapped, the control unit 140 records the tapped one or more regions as a rash location. By performing such area division, the user can easily specify a rash location by a tap operation (touch operation). Instead of designating the squeeze portion using such area division, the sway portion may be specifiable using the drawing by the drag operation. This makes it possible to grasp the degree and place of a rash more accurately.

The body illustration image IL4 is used when the camera shake is behind the wearer's body.
