Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a system for performing a stress check using a computer system, accumulating the results, and providing accurate advice.

Heretofore, regarding a stress management system, a state of stress has been evaluated through answers to a series of questions, and appropriate advice has been given. In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-338460, there is an individual difference in the state of tension in each living body with respect to the same stimulus. There is a stress management system that evaluates the subjective stress state, and based on the evaluation results of these stress states, gives appropriate advice to the subject, such as "Listen to relaxation music." Or "Do moderate exercise." Had gone.

[0003]

Generally, stress is defined as "a cause of stress (stresser) applied from outside.
Physiological and psychological distortions that occur in a living body. " Stress causes (stressers) include physical (eg, heat, cold, noise, etc.), chemical (eg, exhaust gas, smog, cigarette smoke, etc.), biological (eg, bacteria, mold, virus, etc.), Psychological and social things. When exposed to such an excessive stress factor (stresser) for a long time, the living body becomes exhausted and becomes sick, sometimes resulting in “stress disease”.

The causes of stress (stressers) and the state of stress change every day. In addition, in the conventional method of giving advice for each test, input errors and abnormal values cannot be checked in the test, so that incorrect advice is given, or the previous advice and subsequent improvement efforts and improvements of the subject. Since the effects of the above are not taken into account, advice that is inconsistent with the previous advice is given, and in such a case, the subject loses trust in the advice, and the subject weakens the will for improvement efforts, and as a result, stress information management There is a problem that the effect of using the system is diminished.

Further, in the conventional stress information management system, since the stress information analysis is performed by off-line processing by a computer, the subject answers the printed question to the stress information management system operating company by a method such as a letter. The analysis results were sent by letters from the stress information management system operating company to the subjects. Therefore, there was a time lag of several days from the time of response until the analysis results were obtained.

Further, the advice according to the analysis value in the conventional stress information management system only displays the advice stored in advance, and the expected effect of each advice is not known, so that it is difficult for the subject to understand. Met.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides appropriate and consistent advice in consideration of past data given to a subject and history data including stress information data. In addition to providing a stress management system that can give advice on its prediction effect, if any abnormal value appears in the analysis results, it is checked whether it is an abnormal value to improve reliability, and stress The purpose of the present invention is to provide a stress information analysis system that improves the convenience of a subject by supplying information analysis and provision of advice through a communication network.

FIG. 3 is an overall flowchart showing the overall processing flow of the stress information management system 1 of the present invention.

When a subject who wishes to perform a stress analysis activates the stress information management system 1, first, a first stress analysis means step S1 is executed. Here, a plurality of questions are issued, the subject's responses to the questions are analyzed, and the stress state of the subject is scored and evaluated for each of a plurality of factors smaller than the number of questions. Details of this processing will be described later.

Next, in step S2, a counter n is set to zero. This is the preparation for checking the input by the second stress analysis means. In step S3, the counter n is incremented. In step S4, the difference between the current small factor score An and the previous small factor score Pn of the n-th small factor in the first stress analysis means is calculated. In step S5, it is determined whether or not the absolute value of the difference between the current small factor score An and the previous small factor score Pn is equal to or greater than a set value K1.
If it is 1 or more, it is determined that there is a possibility of an input error, and the process branches to step S7 for executing the second stress analysis means S7.
If it is less than the set value K1, the process branches to step S6. Details of the second stress analysis means S7 will be described later.

In step S7, the first stress analysis means S1 corresponding to the n-th factor of the first stress analysis means S1
A plurality of questions different from 1 are set, the subject's answers to the questions are analyzed, and the stress state of the subject is scored and evaluated.

In step S6, as a result of the judgment in step S5 that the nth small factor score of the first stress analysis means S1 is correct, the small factor score An of the first stress analysis means S1 is substituted for the final small factor score Sn. Then, the process proceeds to S11. The final small factor score Sn is the determined small factor score, and this value is used as the stress countermeasure evaluation / advice means S13.
Used in

In step S8, the absolute value of the difference between the small factor score An of the nth small factor of the first stress analysis means S1 and the small factor score Bn of the nth small factor of the second stress analysis means S7 is set to the set value. It is determined whether or not the value is equal to or more than K2. If the value is equal to or more than K2, the process branches to step S10. If the value is less than K2, the process branches to step S9. In step S10,
Score An of the n-th small factor of the first stress analysis means S1
And the score B of the n-th small factor of the second stress analysis means S7
Since the absolute value of the difference n is equal to or greater than the set value K2, any one of them is regarded as an erroneous input, and the one of An and Bn that is closer to the previous score Pn is adopted. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S10B.

In step S10B, a medium factor score is calculated. The details of this calculation will be described later in the description of FIG.

In step S9, the absolute value of the difference between the score An of the nth small factor of the first stress analysis means S1 and the score Bn of the nth small factor of the second stress analysis means S7 is less than the set value K2. Therefore, n of the first stress analysis means S1
The score An of the small factor is regarded as correct, and An is adopted. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S11.

After step 11 as a connector, it is determined whether or not the final small factor score Sn is equal to or greater than the set value K4. If the score is equal to or greater than K4, the flow branches to step S13 to evaluate and advise against stress. Is executed, and when the difference is less than K4, the process branches to step S14 without executing the stress countermeasure evaluation / advice means. The contents of the stress countermeasure evaluation / advice means S13 will be described later in the description of FIG.

After the connector step S14, step S1
At 5, it is determined whether or not the counter n has reached the total number of small factors NGmax. If the counter n has reached the total number of factors NGmax, the process proceeds to the result output means S16, and the counter n
Is smaller than the total number of factors NGmax, the connector S2
Proceeding to B, the counter is incremented and steps S3 to S15 are repeated for the next factor. The same applies thereafter.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the processing of the first stress analysis means S1. In step S21, all the question data used in the first stress analysis means S1 are input from the question group file 4 to the RAM 103 of the control means 2. Next, random numbers for the number of questions input to the RAM 103 are generated and assigned to each question and recorded.

In step S23, the question data used in the first stress analysis means S1 is rearranged in the order of the random numbers generated in step S22. Repeating the questions in the same order may cause problems in the reliability of the analysis results due to the subject remembering the answer order, and the subject contacts for the first time by rearranging and changing the question order every time Recognizing and answering like a question can increase the reliability of the analysis results.

In step S24, the question counter nq is set to one. Next, step S25 is a connector,
This is the starting point for the processing of questions that are repeatedly asked. In step 26, the nq-th question is output to the subject. The output of this question is usually displayed on the display 110,
You may output by voice.

In step S27, a timer counter n
Set t to 0. Step S28 is a connector,
This is the starting point of the repetition of the timer routine. Step S29 is a timer, which has a function of delaying by a predetermined time Td. Specifically, it is performed by a software timer that executes an instruction for performing no processing of a fixed number of steps or a hardware timer that counts clock pulses and sends an interrupt signal when the clock pulse reaches a fixed number.

After a delay of the predetermined time Td, it is determined whether or not the value of the timer counter nt has reached the predetermined value NTmax.
Branch to In this case, there is no response within the specified time,
The current question is re-questioned later, and random numbers are generated for the current question and the remaining questions. Next, step S
At 32, the current question and the remaining questions generated at random are rearranged in the order of the random numbers to determine a new question order, and the process proceeds to the connector S25.

If it is determined in step S31 that the value of the timer counter nt has not reached the predetermined value NTmax, the flow branches to step S34. In step S34, it is checked whether or not a keyboard operation has been performed. If a keyboard operation has not been detected, the flow branches to step S30, where the timer counter nt is incremented and the process proceeds to the connector S28, and the timer routine in steps S29 to S34 is performed. repeat.

If a keyboard operation is detected in step S34, the flow branches to step S35. Step S
At 35, the subject's answer Kin is recorded in the answer file K (nq) in the storage area in the RAM 103. In step S36, the question counter nq is incremented.
Next, at step 37, the question counter nq is set to the total number of questions N
It is determined whether all questions have been completed by comparing whether or not the value reaches a value obtained by adding 1 to Qmax. If all the questions have not been completed, the process returns to step S25 to output the next question and obtain an answer from step S26 to step S26.
37 is repeated, and so on.

If all the questions have been completed in step S37, that is, if the question counter nq indicates the total number of questions NQm
If it has reached the value obtained by adding 1 to ax, step S
Branch to 38. In step S38, the questions and the answers are sorted and summarized for each factor to be analyzed.

In the next step S39, the small factor counter ng used in the next analysis is set to 1. Step S
Numeral 40 denotes a connector, which is a starting point of repetition of the analysis.

In step S41, the sum of the scores of a plurality of questions belonging to the small factor is calculated for each small factor. If the answer to the question is in a five-step format, "always"
"Frequent""sometimes""sometimes""rarely"
The test subject selects and answers from such answer items, and each of them is assigned a prime score 1 to 5, and the total of the prime scores of a plurality of questions belonging to the small factor is calculated.

Next, in step S42, step S41
With respect to the score for each small factor obtained in the above, the corresponding score is obtained by referring to the small factor score table for each small factor. The small factor score table will be described later with reference to FIG. In step S43, the small factor counter ng is incremented. Next, in step S44, it is determined whether or not the calculation of the small factor scores has been completed for all the small factors, and if the analysis for all the small factors has not been completed, that is, the question counter nq indicates the total number of questions NQmax. If it does not reach the value obtained by adding 1 to step S40, the process returns to step S40 to repeat the processing from step 41 to step 44 for calculating the score for the next small factor, and so on.

If it is determined in step S44 that the calculation of the small factor scores has been completed for all the small factors, that is, if the question counter nq has reached a value obtained by adding 1 to the total number of questions NQmax, the process proceeds to step S45. move on.

In step S45, a medium factor score is calculated. The medium factor is obtained by multiplying each small factor score of a plurality of related small factors by a weighting coefficient of each small factor in order to make it easier for the subject to understand the stress state. One medium factor is provided for four to five factors, and the state of stress is indicated by scores of several types of medium factors. Specifically, the middle factor score of the middle factor called "psychological response score" is calculated by weighting the small factor scores such as "anxiety / depression", "nervous tendency", "tension", and "insomnia". It is obtained by multiplying by a coefficient and adding. Details of the processing will be described in detail with reference to FIG. When step S45 ends, the processing of the first stress analysis unit ends, and the process returns to the main program of FIG.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the calculation of the medium factor score in step S10B in FIG. 3 and in step S45 in FIG. In step S91, the medium factor counter nh is set to 1.
Next, step S92 is a connector, which is a starting point of repetition for the medium factor. Next, in step S93, the small factor counter ni is set to 1, and the medium factor score T (nh) is set to zero.

Step S94 is a connector, which is the starting point of accumulation. In step S95, small factor score S (ni)
Is a medium factor coefficient TIK which is a weighting coefficient of the small factor.
(Ni) is added to the medium factor score T (nh),
The small factor counter ni is incremented.

Next, in step S96, it is determined whether or not the small factor counter is equal to the number obtained by adding 1 to the small factor total NGmax, and if the accumulation has not been completed for all the small factors, that is, the small factor counter is smaller. If it is different from the number obtained by adding 1 to the total number of factors NGmax, the process branches to step S94 and the accumulation in step S95 is repeated for the next small factor.
If the accumulation has been completed for all the small factors, that is, in step S96, the small factor counter indicates that the total number of small factors is NG.
If it is equal to the number obtained by adding 1 to max, step S97
To increment the medium factor counter nh.

Next, in step S98, it is determined whether or not the medium factor counter is equal to the number obtained by adding 1 to the total number of medium factors NHmax. Total number NHmax
If the number is different from the number obtained by adding 1 to step S92, the process branches to step S92, and the process proceeds to steps S93 to S98 for the next medium factor.
Is repeated. If the score calculation has been completed for all the medium factors, that is, if the medium factor counter is equal to the number obtained by adding 1 to the total number of medium factors NHmax in step S98, the score calculation for all the medium factors has been completed. Therefore, the processing of the first stress analysis means S1 ends.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the second stress analysis means S7. In step S51, a plurality of second question data items for the n-th small factor are
Input to M103. Next, random numbers for the number of questions input to the RAM 103 are generated and assigned to each question and recorded.

In step S53, the question data used by the second stress analysis means S7 is rearranged in the order of the random numbers generated in step S52. Repeating the questions in the same order may cause problems in the reliability of the analysis results because the subjects learn the answers that give good results, so rearranging and changing the order of the questions each time Recognizes and answers the question as if it were the first contact with the user, thereby improving the reliability of the analysis results.

In step S54, the question counter N is set to 1
Set to. Next, step S55 is a connector, which is the starting point of the processing of the question repeatedly asked. Step 5
At 6, the Nth question is output to the subject. The output of this question is normally displayed on the display 110, but may be output by voice.

In step S57, the timer counter N
t is set to 0, and the process proceeds to step S58. Step S
Reference numeral 58 denotes a connector, which is a starting point of the repetition of the timer routine. The next step S59 is a timer, which has yesterday delayed by a predetermined time Td. In particular,
This is performed by a software timer for executing an instruction for performing no processing of a fixed number of steps or a hardware timer for counting clock pulses by hardware and sending an interrupt signal when the count reaches a fixed number.

In step S61, after a delay of a predetermined time Td, the value of the timer counter nt is changed to a predetermined value Nmax.
Is determined, and if Nmax is reached, the flow branches to step S62. In this case, since there is no answer within the predetermined time, the current question is re-questioned later, and random numbers are generated for the number of the current question and the remaining questions.
Next, the current question and the remaining questions generated in step S62 are rearranged in the order of the random numbers in step S63, a new question order is determined, and the process proceeds to the connector S55.

If the value of the timer counter Nt has not reached the predetermined value Nmax in step S61, the process proceeds to step S61.
Branch to 64. In step S64, it is checked whether or not a keyboard operation has been performed. If no keyboard operation has been detected, the flow branches to step S60 to increment the timer counter Nt, advance to the connector S58, and repeat the timer in step S59.

If a keyboard operation is detected in step S64, the flow branches to step S65. Step S
At 65, the answer KIN of the subject is recorded in the answer file K2 (N) in the storage area in the RAM 103. In step S66, the question counter N is incremented. Next, in step S67, the question counter N is set to the total number of questions NI.
It is determined whether all questions have been completed by comparing whether or not a value obtained by adding 1 to max has been reached. If all the questions have not been completed, the process returns to step S55 to output the next question and obtain an answer from step S56 to step S6.
7 is repeated, and so on.

If all the questions have been completed in step 67, that is, the question counter N indicates the total number of questions NImax
If it has reached the value obtained by adding 1 to the step S68
Branch to In step S68, the raw scores for a plurality of questions are summed and calculated. In step S69, the score corresponding to each factor obtained in step S68 is obtained by referring to the table for each factor. In the problem group file 4, there is a small factor score table in which the minor factor scores corresponding to the total of the minor scores for each minor factor are recorded. Read out to find the small factor score. The small factor score table is shown in FIG.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the stress countermeasure evaluation / advice means S13. In step S71, past history data of the subject is input to the RAM 103 from the answer analysis / time series analysis file 5. In step S72, it is checked whether or not there is advice last time, and if there is advice last time, the process proceeds to step S73. Step S7
In 3, the current score Sn is compared with the previous score Snp to determine whether or not the current stress value is decreasing.
If it has decreased this time, the process proceeds to step S74.

In step S74, the value Sk obtained by subtracting the current score Sn from the previous score Snp is added to the corresponding effect cumulative value in the countermeasure statistical file of FIG. 10B, the count is incremented, and the process proceeds to step S78. move on. Here, the countermeasure statistical file is configured so that the effect type station value and the count number can be recorded for each score range of the previous score Snp.

Next, in step S78, the previous score Sn
The value Sk obtained by subtracting the current score Sn from p and the threshold value Ss are compared with each other, and if Sk exceeds Ss, it is determined that the effect has been obtained. Is displayed ", and the process proceeds to the connector step S86 to return to the main program.

If Sk is equal to or greater than Ss in step 78, it is determined that the effect is insufficient, and in step S79 a plurality of appropriate advices are selected, including the previous advice, and the flow advances to the connector step S81.

If there is no previous advice in step S72, there is no need to consider past advice.
The flow branches to step S76 to select a plurality of appropriate advices from all the advices, and to execute a connector step S8.
Proceed to 1.

If it is determined in step S73 that the stress value has increased this time, it is determined that the previous advice has no effect. Therefore, a plurality of appropriate advices are selected excluding the previous advice and the connector step S81 is performed. Proceed to.

After selecting a plurality of advices in steps S75, S76 and S79, the process proceeds to a connector step S81, and outputs the plurality of advices selected in step S83. Select and enter the measure to be taken from

After that, the message "The countermeasure XX was selected this time. If this countermeasure is performed every XX minutes, the expected effect after one month is XX points."
Go to 6 and return to the main program.

FIG. 8 illustrates data stored in the storage unit 4 problem group file of the stress information management system. The storage unit 4 question group file is composed of four types of files: (a) a first question group, (b) a second question group, (c) a small factor score table, and (d) a medium factor coefficient table.

The first question group file (a) is a file in which a question to be performed at the beginning of the stress analysis is recorded, and is composed of four types of data: a question number, a small factor number, a medium factor number, and a question. Are arranged. All of these problem groups are analyzed with the first stress analysis means S1 shown in FIG. Usually three to three for analysis of one small factor
Five questions are used, and a plurality of small factors are used for one medium factor analysis. Similarly, the second problem group (b) is composed of four types of data, ie, a question number, a small factor number, a medium factor number, and a question, and a plurality of these are arranged. In the second problem group (b), a question group corresponding to some of the small factors is used in the second stress analysis means S7.

The small-factor score table (c) contains the small-factor score PSI of the m-th small factor corresponding to the sum SIn of the scores of the answers to a plurality of questions belonging to the same small factor.
mn is recorded. Since the appearance of the stress on the raw score SIn differs depending on the type of the factor, different values are taken for each raw score SIn depending on the type of the small factor.

Answers to a group of questions are usually composed of two to five steps in a yes-no format. For example, in the case of a five-step format, "always", "frequently", "sometimes" The subject selects and answers from the answer items such as "", "sometimes" and "rarely", and assigns the raw scores 1 to 5 to each of them.

The small factor score PSImn is a small factor whose stress suddenly increases when the sum of the elementary scores of the questions corresponding to the same small factor exceeds a certain threshold value, a small factor whose stress gradually increases, and the like. Taking into account the characteristics, it is displayed on a 100-point scale so that the subject can easily understand. Normally, when the stress is high, the score is displayed as high, but when the stress is high, the score may be displayed as low.

The medium factor coefficient table (d) records weighting coefficient data TIKim for each of the small factors TIm for calculating the medium factor score of the i-th medium factor. In FIG. 7D, the medium factor coefficient TIKim
Multiplies this by the corresponding m-th small factor score PSImn to calculate the score of the m-th small factor used for calculating the medium factor score. Similarly, weighting is performed on other small factor scores, and these are summed to calculate a medium factor score. The medium factor score is also displayed on a 100-point scale so that the subject can easily understand it.

FIG. 9 shows data stored in the answer analysis / time series analysis file of the storage means 5 of the stress information management system. This file contains, in chronological order, each small factor score and medium factor score,
The predicted effect value and the actual effect value are recorded.

FIG. 10 shows the data recorded in the storage means 6 countermeasure data file of the stress information management system. The countermeasure data file 6 includes a countermeasure file (a) and a countermeasure statistical file (b).

The countermeasure file (a) contains each small factor score PS
For Imn, a predicted improvement effect value after a certain period is recorded according to the type of each measure and the degree thereof. Although the predicted improvement effect value is initially recorded as a predicted value, it is modified in accordance with the accumulation of the data of the test subject thereafter to increase the reliability.

The countermeasure statistic file (b) is used to accumulate actual effect data of the subject with respect to the above-described countermeasure file (a) to obtain a more accurate countermeasure effect. Here, for each measure, the count number and the effect cumulative value are recorded. Then, the countermeasure file (a) is updated periodically as a value obtained by dividing the cumulative effect value of the countermeasure statistical file (b) by the count number as the predicted effect of the countermeasure file. Specifically, step S in FIG.
At 74, the process is performed by adding the value Sk obtained by subtracting the current score Sn from the previous score Snp to the corresponding effect cumulative value in the countermeasure statistical file of FIG. 10B, and incrementing the count.

After the data of the countermeasure statistic file has been accumulated, the value obtained by periodically dividing the cumulative effect value in the countermeasure statistic file by the count is used as the predicted improvement effect value as shown in FIG. Update and use the countermeasure file. By updating the prediction improvement effect value of the countermeasure file (a) in this way, a more accurate prediction improvement effect value can be provided to the subject.

In the present embodiment, the factors are two
Although it is structured to easily understand the state of stress by type,
This may be composed of three or more types of factors, small factor, medium factor, and large factor. In this case, the calculation of the factor score higher than the medium factor is performed by calculating the medium factor score of the present invention. It can be calculated in the same manner as the calculation.

The stress information management system can be performed by using the Internet or e-mail. In this case, the analysis and advice can be performed without leaving time, so that the subject can take prompt measures. Can,
It is effective.

In FIG. 11, the subject Tn has a web such as a personal computer and a mail terminal 201, and
These terminal devices can be connected to the web server 100 and the mail server 130 which constitute a part of the stress information management system 1 via the Internet 300.

The stress information management system 1 includes a web server, a database server 120, an application server 110, and a mail server 130.

FIG. 12 shows that, in this embodiment, the subject Tn accesses the stress information management system 1 on the web, analyzes the stress state, receives a plurality of advices, and selects the advice from which the subject selects. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of a series of processes until it records and notifies a result.

In the present embodiment, roughly three types of processing are performed. First, steps S101 to S101 in FIG.
There is a reception / registration / ID issuance process of 107, and the subject Tn who uses for the first time can use the stress information management system 1 by performing this process.

The second is a process of transmitting the first stress analysis means program, the second stress analysis means program, the first question group data, and the second question group data to the subject in steps S108 to S112 in FIG. The first stress analysis means usually involves the task of answering more than 100 questions, which takes a considerable amount of time. Also, in the second stress analysis means, when the number of relevant factors is large, considerable time is required. To solve this problem, a first stress analysis means program, a second stress analysis means program, first problem group data, and a second problem group data are transmitted to the subject's computer in advance and the first stress analysis means program is executed. By performing the analysis by operating the computer on the subject, the load on the stress information management system 1 and the web server 100 can be reduced.

Thirdly, the stress analysis and advice processing from step S113 to step S125 in FIG. The subject receives the response from the first stress analysis means, analyzes it, and if necessary, executes the second stress analysis means on the subject's computer to analyze them and give appropriate advice.

In FIG. 11, first, in step S101, a guide to the stress information management system is published on the web server 100 of the stress information analysis system 1. The subject Tn who uses for the first time accesses the stress information management system 1 in step S102 and browses them.
Based on this, the subject Tn determines stress analysis by the present stress information management system 1, and performs user registration for the stress analysis in the present stress information management system 1 in step S103. That is, the subject Tn applies for registration by describing necessary items (inputting user information).

Next, in step S104, the stress information management system 1 accepts the registration application, and in step S105, performs examination based on the user information. If the examination passes, user registration is performed in step S106, and a user ID and a password are issued to the subject Tn.

Next, when the subject Tn who has been issued the user ID and the password accesses the stress information management system 1, an entry screen (not shown) is first displayed in step S108. Therefore, step S109
When the subject Tn inputs the user ID and the password, the identity is confirmed in step S110.

Next, the first stress analysis means program, the second stress analysis means program, the first question group data, and the second question group data are transmitted from the stress information management system 1 to the subject Tn. The first stress analysis means program is the same as the program in FIG.
The first question group data is the first question group data of FIG. 8A, and the second stress analysis means program executes the processing of steps S51 to S67 of FIG. The second problem group data is the second problem group data of FIG. 8B.

In step S113, the subject Tn uses the first stress analysis means program and the first question group data transmitted from the stress information management system 1 and executes the processing shown in FIG. According to steps S21 to S37, answer data for the first question group is obtained.

Next, when accessing the stress information management system 1, an entry screen as shown in FIG. 12 is displayed in step S114. Then, when the user ID and the password are input in step S115, step S1
In step S117, the stress information management system 1 issues a response transmission request to the subject.

In response to the response transmission request from the stress information management system 1, the subject Tn transmits the response from the first stress analysis means to the stress information management system 1. The stress information management system 1 having received the answer from the first stress analysis means performs the processing of steps S38 to S44 in FIG. 4, calculates the small factor score for each small factor, and calculates the previous small factor score for each small factor. Compare. In the case of the first analysis, since there is no previous small factor score, the score is compared with the average score instead of the previous small factor score.

Next, in step S120, the small factor number whose stress value has increased by a certain value or more from the previous score and a command to start the second stress analysis means are transmitted to the computer of the subject. The computer of the subject who has received the small factor number and the second stress analysis means activation instruction activates the second stress analysis means, asks a plurality of questions regarding the small factor, and obtains the subject's answer. After all the answers are completed, the answer is transmitted from the computer of the subject to the stress information management system 1 in step S121.

Next, in step S122, the answer of the second stress analysis means transmitted from the subject's computer to the present stress information management system 1 is analyzed to calculate a score. When the absolute value of the difference between the scores of the stress analysis means is equal to or more than a predetermined value, a score closer to the previous score is used as the score of the factor, and when the difference is less than the predetermined value, the first stress analysis means score is used. This processing corresponds to steps S68 to S69 in FIG. 6 and steps S8 to S11 in FIG.

Next, in step S123, step S123
An effective advice is searched for a factor whose score adopted in step 122 exceeds a predetermined value, and a plurality of advices and their degree, frequency and expected effect are presented to the subject.

Next, in step S124, step S1
The subject selects an advice to be executed from the plurality of advices presented in 23 and transmits the selected advice to the stress information management system 1.

Next, in step S125, the advice selected by the subject is recorded in the stress information management system 1, and the result is communicated to the subject. As described above, step S123
~ The processing of step S125 is shown in FIG.
This corresponds to advice means.

In this embodiment, a question for subject's stress analysis is made at the subject terminal by the first stress analysis means and the second stress analysis means, an answer to the question is obtained, and the answer is sent to the stress information analysis system 1. However, the response may be analyzed at the subject terminal for each small factor, the score of each small factor may be obtained, and the score of each small factor may be transmitted to the stress information analysis system 1.

With the above configuration, the amount of information via the Internet can be reduced, and the efficiency of the system can be increased. In addition, since a question and an answer for stress analysis are recorded by a program installed in the subject terminal, this process can be performed at high speed, and the subject can proceed in real time.

In addition to the above configuration, each question may be individually transmitted from the stress information analysis system 1 to the subject terminal, and an answer may be transmitted from the subject terminal each time. With this configuration, it is not necessary to install the first stress analysis means and the second stress analysis means on the subject terminal, and the stress analysis can be easily performed.
