Description

  The present invention relates to an information input support system, an information input support method, and an information input support program for inputting information related to an individual such as a person.

  In general, nursery teachers communicate the contents of childcare activities, the state of children during childcare, things they noticed during childcare, etc. to their parents or record them in a childcare diary. If a childcare worker is busy with childcare, he or she simply remembers it or takes a simple memo and fills it in a contact book or childcare diary when hands are available. When the number of children in charge is increased, nursery teachers may not have enough time to take notes, so there is a risk that the content learned during childcare will be ambiguous.

  On the other hand, a system for recording observation information, which is information observed on an individual such as a person, has been proposed and used in the field of childcare (see Patent Document 1). Such a system can digitize and record observation information regarding a child, which is an individual to be observed, input from a nursery teacher who is an observer, and can support the creation of action records and childcare diaries. Observation information in the field of childcare includes, for example, the contents of childcare implementation, the state of the child during childcare, the events during childcare, and the like. Such a system can leave a detailed record without depending on the memory of the childcare worker, and can reduce the burden on the childcare worker.

Diary etc.

(First embodiment)
As shown in FIG. 1, the information input support system according to the first embodiment of the present invention inputs observation information that is carried by each of a plurality of observers (input persons) and indicates information observed by the observer for each individual. A plurality of portable terminals 1a, 1b, 1c (hereinafter simply referred to as “portable terminal 1” when collectively referred to) and observation information input to the plurality of portable terminals 1 via the network 2, And a server 3 for storage. The network 2 that connects the mobile terminal 1 and the server 3 so that they can communicate with each other is configured by, for example, a wired or wireless LAN (Local Area Network).

  Hereinafter, an example will be described in which the information input support system is applied to the childcare field, where the observer is a nursery teacher and the individual to be observed is a child. An example in which one observer is in charge of inputting information about a plurality of individuals will be described.

  As illustrated in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 1 includes a terminal control unit 4 that controls the mobile terminal 1, a touch panel unit 5 and a display unit 51 that provide a graphical user interface (GUI) to an observer, and a network 2. A communication unit 6 that communicates with the server 3 and a terminal user information management unit 7 that manages user information of the mobile terminal 1 are provided. Each portable terminal 1 may be a non-portable terminal such as a desktop PC (Personal Computer). However, if the portable terminal 1 is made portable, the terminal 1 is carried by, for example, a childcare person who is an observer. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the restriction of behavior in the daycare (observation) of the childcare worker.

  The touch panel unit 5 includes an input unit that inputs a signal according to an operation of the observer to the terminal control unit 4. Various input devices other than a touch panel such as a hardware keyboard and a mouse may be used.

  The display unit 51 is provided corresponding to the touch panel unit 5, for example, and displays various screens according to the control of the terminal control unit 4.

  The terminal user information management unit 7 holds, as user information of the mobile terminal 1, observer specifying information for specifying a childcare person who uses the mobile terminal 1. As the observer identification information (input person identification information), an identifier uniquely assigned to each observer can be adopted. The observer specific information may be stored in advance in the terminal user information management unit 7 for each portable terminal 1 assigned to the observer, and is input from the observer when the use of the portable terminal 1 is started. It may be held in the terminal user information management unit 7.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the terminal control unit 4 of the mobile terminal 1 includes a terminal main control unit 41 that performs overall control of the mobile terminal 1, an input priority calculation unit 42, an input priority presentation unit 43, An individual identification unit 44, an observation information type acquisition unit 45, and an observation information content acquisition unit 46 are included.

  The input priority calculation unit 42 calculates the input priority of observation information based on the observation information accumulation degree (information accumulation degree), the observation main person in charge information (main person in charge information), and the observer specifying information. . The observation information accumulation degree (observation information accumulation point) is a value obtained by accumulating the accumulation degree (accumulation point) indicating the amount of observation information accumulated in the accumulation unit 10 for each individual for each individual. The observation main person in charge information is information indicating a person in charge mainly responsible for observation (input) for each individual. The input priority is a value indicating the degree to which observation information should be preferentially input for each individual. The accumulation degree may be set to a larger value as the amount of information input in the past is larger, or may be set to a larger value as the number of times information is input.

  For example, i is a parameter for specifying a child, P is a storage point (accumulation degree) of childcare information relating to the child i, Z (i) is an input priority of childcare information (observation information) relating to the child (individual) i, Let Pmax be the highest child accumulation point. At this time, the input priority calculation part 42 calculates the input priority of the childcare information regarding each child as follows, for example.

  A child whose accumulation point is low for the corresponding child when the childcare person (observer) identification information of the terminal user information management unit 7 is a childcare (observation) main person in charge of the child and Pmax ≠ 0 The input priority Z (i) is calculated using the following equation (1) so that childcare information is preferentially input.

Z (i) = 1- {P (i) / Pmax} (1)
The input priority Z (i) is expressed by the equation (2) so that the childcare information indicated by the childcare specific information is a childcare person in charge of the child and Pmax = 0, and the childcare information is input equally. Value.

Z (i) = 1 (2)
When the childcare person indicated by the childcare person specific information is not a childcare person in charge of the child, the input priority is set to the following value so that the childcare information is not preferentially input for the corresponding child.

Z (i) = 0 (3)
In summary, the input priority Z (i) takes a value in the range shown in the following equation, and the larger the value, the higher the input priority.

0 <= Z (i) <= 1 (4)
As described above, the input priority calculation unit 42 has a higher input priority for a child whose nursery teacher is in charge of childcare, and the higher the accumulation point is, and a child whose nursery teacher is not in charge of childcare is input. The input priority can be calculated so that the priority is the lowest. The method of calculating the input priority is not limited to this content, and may be optimized content according to the implementation situation. At least, the input priority may be increased as the amount of information input in the past increases, or the input priority may be increased as the number of times information is input in the past. Moreover, you may combine these. In addition, all individuals whose accumulation points are equal to or less than a predetermined point may have the same input priority. Further, the same input priority may be applied to all individuals having accumulated points equal to or higher than a predetermined point.

  The input priority presentation unit 43 displays the input priority (input priority), which is the order in which the observation information of each individual is to be input, on the display unit 51, thereby determining the input priority of each individual, Presented to the user of the information input support system according to the first embodiment. For example, the input priority presenting unit 43 presents an input priority for a child whose input priority is not 0, and does not present an input priority for a child whose input priority is 0.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the input priority presentation unit 43 determines the input priority in descending order of the input priority of the childcare information for each child based on the input priority calculated by the input priority calculation unit 42. The list is displayed on the display unit 51 together with the names and face photographs of each child. The input priority presentation unit 43 may hold display images such as names and face photographs of each individual in advance, or may acquire names, images, and the like stored in the storage unit 10 from the server 3 in advance. . The observer can easily grasp which individual observation information should be preferentially input by listing the input priority order of each individual.

  The individual specifying unit 44 specifies individual specifying information corresponding to the selected individual in response to an input from the touch panel unit 5 by an operation of the observer selecting one of the individuals being observed. The individual specifying unit 44 transmits the specified individual specifying information to the server 3. The individual specifying information is information for specifying any individual from a plurality of individuals, and an identifier uniquely assigned to each individual can be adopted. For example, the individual specifying information may be held in advance in the individual specifying unit 44 of the mobile terminal 1 or may be held in the storage unit 10 so that the individual specifying unit 44 acquires the information from the server 3.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the observation information type acquisition unit 45 causes the display unit 51 to display a list of observation information types according to the contents of the childcare implementation. The display screen of the display unit 51 showing a list of observation information types may be any screen that allows the observer to select the observation information type. The observation information type acquisition unit 45 acquires type information indicating the type of observation information in response to an input from the touch panel unit 5 by an observer's operation for selecting the type of observation information. The observation information type acquisition unit 45 transmits the acquired observation information type information to the server 3.

  The observation information content acquisition unit 46 causes the display unit 51 to display a list of contents corresponding to the type of observation information, for example, as shown in FIG. The display screen of the display unit 51 that shows a list of the contents of the observation information may be anything as long as the observer can input the contents of the observation information. For example, when the content of the observation information is “a state / event”, the observation information content acquisition unit 46 displays a text input screen including a software keyboard on the display unit 51 so that a comment can be input. In addition, when correcting the content information of the observation information, the observation information content acquisition unit 46 causes the display unit 51 to display a screen for correcting the content of the observation information based on the content information of the existing observation information. The content information indicating the content of the observation information corrected by the operator's operation is acquired.

  The observation information content acquisition unit 46 acquires content information of the observation information in response to an input from the touch panel unit 5 by an observer's operation. The observation information type acquisition unit 45 transmits the content information of the acquired observation information to the server 3. This content information is, for example, text information or image information.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the server 3 includes a server control unit 8 that controls each unit of the server 3, a communication unit 9 that communicates with the mobile terminal 1 via the network 2, observation information transmitted from the mobile terminal 1, and the like. The storage unit 10 for storing the various information and the observer information management unit 11 are provided.

  The observer information management unit 11 manages observer information that is information related to the observer under observation. The observer information includes a plurality of pieces of observer specifying information corresponding to the observers being observed. The observer specifying information may be held in the observer information management unit (input person information management unit) 11 in advance, and the terminal user information management unit is used by the portable terminal 1 when the use of the portable terminal 1 is started. 7 may be notified to the server 3 and may be held in the observer information management unit 11.

  As illustrated in FIG. 7, the server control unit 8 includes a server main control unit 81 that performs overall control of the server 3, an accumulation degree conversion method specifying unit 82, an accumulation degree conversion unit 83, and an accumulation degree accumulation unit 84. And an observation main person-in-charge determination unit 85.

  The accumulation degree conversion method specifying unit 82 specifies a conversion method for converting the content information of the observation information accumulated in the accumulation unit 10 into accumulation points (accumulation degree). For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the conversion method is determined for each type of observation information.

  The accumulation degree conversion method specifying unit 82 converts the content information of the observation information of the type that is actively input, for example, the type “mode / event”, so as to give an accumulation point according to the content information. Is identified. On the other hand, the accumulation degree conversion method specifying unit 82 converts the content information of the type of observation information to be passively input, such as types “toilet”, “lunch”, “snack”, “nap”, and “body temperature”. On the other hand, the conversion method is specified so that accumulation points are not given regardless of the content information.

  The accumulation degree conversion unit 83 converts the content information of the observation information into accumulation points using the conversion method specified by the accumulation degree conversion method specifying unit 82 according to the type information of the observation information.

  The accumulation degree accumulation unit 84 accumulates the accumulation points converted by the accumulation degree conversion unit 83 for each individual based on individual identification information associated with the converted content information of the original observation information. The observation information accumulation point (observation information accumulation degree) is calculated. For example, as the accumulation amount of observation information whose type is “mode / event”, the accumulation degree accumulating unit 84 calculates a higher observation information accumulation point for an individual having a larger total number of free comment characters. Regardless of the total number of characters, a certain accumulation point may be given each time a free comment is input.

  The observation person-in-charge determination unit 85 is configured to observe information regarding an individual having a low observer information accumulation point based on the observation information accumulation point of each individual and the observer information so that the observation information is efficiently input. The observation person in charge who mainly takes charge of observation is determined for each individual from the observers under observation indicated by. For example, the observation main person-in-charge determining unit 85 assigns observers one by one in order from an individual with a low observation information accumulation point to a high individual, and sets the observation main person in charge. At this time, when the number of observers is small with respect to the number of individuals, the observation main person-in-charge determining unit 85 can return to the first assigned observer and repeat the same assignment again when the observer assignment is completed. It ’s fine.

  For example, if there are 4 observers and 12 individuals to be observed, the first observer has the highest input priority (low observation information accumulation point) and the input priority is 5 Three individuals, the highest individual and the ninth highest input priority, are assigned.

  The second observer is assigned three individuals: the individual with the second highest input priority, the individual with the sixth highest input priority, and the individual with the tenth highest input priority.

  The third observer is assigned three individuals: the individual with the third highest input priority, the individual with the seventh highest input priority, and the individual with the eleventh highest input priority.

  The fourth observer is assigned three individuals, the individual with the fourth highest input priority, the individual with the eighth highest input priority, and the individual with the highest input priority.

  The above allocation method is an example, and the total priority of individuals allocated to each observer may be allocated to be equal.

  For example, when there are three observers and there are 12 individuals to be observed, assignment may be performed as follows.

  The first observer includes four individuals: the individual with the highest input priority, the individual with the sixth highest input priority, the individual with the seventh highest input priority, and the individual with the highest input priority of the twelfth. Assigned.

  The second observer includes an individual with the second highest input priority, an individual with the fifth highest input priority, an individual with the eighth highest input priority, and an individual with the eleventh highest input priority. 4 people assign.

  The third observer includes individuals with the third highest input priority, individuals with the fourth highest input priority, individuals with the ninth highest input priority, and individuals with the tenth highest input priority. 4 people assign.

  If the total priority of individuals assigned to each observer cannot be completely equal due to the relationship between the number of observers and the number of individuals, they may be assigned so as to be as equal as possible. In the present embodiment, making the sum of the priorities of individuals assigned to each observer equal includes such a case. Moreover, you may allocate so that the sum total of the information amount of each individual | organism | solid allocated to each observer, and the sum total of information input frequency may become equal.

  With reference to the flowchart of FIG. 9, an example of an operation when presenting the input priority of each individual in the observation information input support system according to the first embodiment will be described.

  First, in step S101, the terminal main control unit 41 of the portable terminal 1 designates the input date of observation information to the server 3, and the observation information accumulation points for the current day regarding the individual being observed, and the observation owner of each individual. A request signal for requesting person-in-charge information is transmitted.

  In step S111, the server 3 receives the request signal transmitted in step S101 from the portable terminal 1. In step S112, the accumulation degree accumulating unit 84 calculates the childcare information accumulation point of each individual for the observation information associated with the input date specified in step S101 among the childcare information accumulated by the accumulation unit 10. .

  In step S113, the observation person-in-charge determination unit 85 determines each individual based on the observer information accumulation point calculated by the accumulation degree accumulation unit 84 in step S112 and the observer information held by the observer information management unit 11. Determine the person in charge of the observation.

  For example, the terminal user information management unit 7 holds observer (childcare person) identification information as shown in FIG. 10, and the observer information management unit 11 holds observer (childcare person) information as shown in FIG. The accumulation degree accumulating unit 84 calculates observation information accumulation points as shown in FIG. The observer information uses the name of the observer instead of the identifier for convenience of explanation. At this time, as shown in FIG. 13, the observation main person-in-charge determination unit 85 assigns a plurality of observers one by one from the individual with the lowest observation information accumulation point to the individual with the highest observation information accumulation point. Decide who.

  In step S114, the server main control unit 81 of the server 3 uses the observer information accumulation point of each individual calculated by the accumulation degree accumulation unit 84 in step S112 and each individual determined by the observation main person in charge determination unit 85 in step S113. Are sent to the portable terminal 1.

  In step S102, the mobile terminal 1 receives the observation information accumulation point of each individual and the observation main person in charge information of each individual transmitted by the server 3 in step S114.

  In step S103, the input priority calculation unit 42 calculates the input priority of the observation information regarding each individual from the observation information accumulation point received by the mobile terminal 1 in step S102 and the observation person-in-charge information. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the input priority calculation unit 42 of the mobile terminals 1 a, 1 b, and 1 c determines the observer specifying information indicating the terminal user of the mobile terminals 1 a, 1 b, and 1 c, and the observer main person determination. The input priority for each individual is calculated based on the observation main person-in-charge information determined by the unit 85 and the observation information accumulation point for each individual.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, there are four children “Emi”, “Sho”, “Ai”, “Masato” who are in charge of the childcare person “A” who is the user of the mobile terminal 1 a. The input priority calculation unit 42 of 1a calculates the input priority for these four people as shown in FIG.

  In step S104, the input priority presenting unit 43 converts the input priority from the input priority calculated in step S103, and displays the input priority on the display unit 51, thereby presenting the input priority to the observer. The input priority presentation unit 43 of each of the mobile terminals 1a, 1b, and 1c displays a display screen as shown in FIGS. 15A, 15B, and 15C on the display unit 51, for example.

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 16, the input priority presentation unit 43 may display large images in order from the individual with the highest input priority. The input priority presentation unit 43 displays a list of images showing each individual whose size has been changed according to the observation information accumulation point on the display unit 51. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, the input priority presentation unit 43 may display an individual having a higher input priority at the top of the screen.

  With reference to the flowchart of FIG. 18, an example of an operation when the observer inputs observation information of each individual in the observation information input support system according to the first embodiment will be described.

  First, in step S201, the individual specifying unit 44 of the mobile terminal 1 displays a list of individuals under observation on the display unit 51, and the selected individual is selected by an observer's operation of selecting an individual from the displayed list. Acquire individual identification information to be identified.

(Second Embodiment)
The information input support system according to the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the first embodiment in the basic configuration, but the storage unit 10 does not repeatedly accumulate observation information of the same condition for each individual. This is different from the first embodiment.

  Hereinafter, an example in which the information input support system according to the second embodiment is applied to a care field such as day care service with an observer as a care worker and an individual to be observed as a care receiver will be described. To do. Other configurations not described in the second embodiment are substantially the same as those in the first embodiment, and thus redundant description is omitted.

In the second embodiment, the input priority calculation unit 42 changes, for example, from an individual having a low observation information accumulation point to a high individual based on the observation information accumulation point calculated by the accumulation degree accumulation unit 84 for each care recipient (individual). The input priority is calculated so that the input priority becomes higher in order. The input priority calculation unit 42 displays, for example, the top five cared persons with high input priorities in association with the respective input priorities. The care staff (observer) can easily know which care recipient's care information (observation information) should be preferentially input by presenting the input priority of each care recipient. The observation information type acquisition unit 45 that can perform the display unit 51 displays a list of types of observation information according to the contents of the care provided, for example, as shown in FIG. The display screen showing the list of observation information types may be any screen that allows the observer to select the observation information type. The observation information type acquisition unit 45 acquires the type information of the observation information in response to an input from the touch panel unit 5 by the observer's operation for selecting the type of observation information. The observation information type acquisition unit 45 transmits the acquired observation information type information to the server 3.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 19, the observation information content acquisition unit 46 causes the display unit 51 to display a list of content corresponding to the type of observation information. The display screen of the display unit 51 that shows a list of the contents of the observation information may be anything as long as the observer can input the contents of the observation information. For example, when the content of the observation information is “a state / event”, the observation information content acquisition unit 46 displays a text input screen including a software keyboard so that a comment can be input. When correcting the content information of the observation information, the observation information content acquisition unit 46 causes the display unit 51 to display a screen for correcting the content of the observation information on the basis of the content information of the existing observation information. The content information of the observation information corrected by the operation is acquired.

  The accumulation degree conversion method specifying unit 82 specifies a conversion method for converting the content information of the observation information accumulated in the accumulation unit 10 into accumulation points. For example, as shown in FIG. 20, the conversion method is determined for each type of observation information.

  In the second embodiment, the accumulation degree conversion method specifying unit 82 classifies all types of observation information into types that are actively input so as to reflect the implementation status of care in the observation information accumulation degree, and gives points. .

  For example, the accumulation degree conversion method specifying unit 82 converts the accumulation point to 10 points for the observation information of the type “health check” regardless of the contents of the observation information (body temperature value, pulse value, blood pressure value, etc.).

  Similarly, the observation information of type “meal” is converted to 10 points regardless of the content of the observation information (meal content). The observation information of the type “bathing” is converted to 10 points regardless of the content of the observation information (presence / absence of bathing). The observation information of the type “functional training” is converted as 20 points regardless of the content of the observation information (functional training content).

  The observation information of type “state / event” is given 20 points when the number of characters in the free comment is 20 to less than 50 characters so that points are given step by step according to the content of the observation information (free comment). If it is longer than a character, it is converted as 50 points.

  Note that the rules for specifying the conversion method shown in FIG. 20 are not limited to this content, but may be optimized content according to the implementation status of nursing care.

  The accumulation degree conversion unit 83 converts the content information of the observation information into accumulation points using the conversion method specified by the accumulation degree conversion method specifying unit 82 according to the type information of the observation information.

  The accumulation degree accumulation unit 84 accumulates the accumulation points converted by the accumulation degree conversion unit 83 for each individual based on individual identification information associated with the converted content information of the original observation information. The observation information accumulation point (observation information accumulation degree) is calculated.

  In the second embodiment, the accumulation degree accumulation unit 84 accumulates accumulation points by excluding observation information that matches a predetermined condition, and calculates observation information accumulation points so that observation information under the same condition does not overlap. Therefore, the observation information accumulation point is calculated to be higher as the number of accumulated observation information types increases or as the number of observation information accumulation points of the type “mode / event” increases as the number of free comment characters increases. . That is, in the example shown in FIG. 20, when all types of observation information are accumulated for each individual, and the number of free comments in the content of the observation information of the type “mode / event” is 50 characters or more, observation information accumulation points Is 100 points.
