Description

  The present invention relates to a virtual currency management system that estimates a well-being value as a mental activity of a user who participates in an event and manages virtual currency.

  In recent years, research on "well-being" has been advanced. "Well-being" does not mean that a person is simply healthy (not ill), but that he is physically, mentally, and socially in good condition.

  Conventionally, a technique for estimating a human emotional state has been developed. For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a technique of extracting a pitch frequency or the like from a voice uttered by a person and estimating a person's emotional state from a correspondence relationship between the pitch frequency and the emotional state.

International Publication No. 2006/132159

  The techniques described above were simply aimed at estimating the emotions of the individual. For this reason, it is not possible for individual users to increase the degree of well-being (well-being value) in relation to society with the above-mentioned technology alone. On the other hand, it is preferable that the above-mentioned technique is applied to a specific social network composed of a plurality of users, and the users can increase their wellbeing value by performing social activities in the network.

  The present inventors are investigating a system for increasing the well-being value by using virtual currency. In this system, when the well-being value increases, virtual currency is given to the user, and the user can purchase goods and services using the virtual currency. According to such a system, each user's action such that the virtual currency is given can be expected to result in an increase in the well-being value of the user. However, studies on such a system have not been generally made, and in reality, the knowledge necessary for realizing the system has not been sufficiently obtained.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a virtual currency management system that increases the well-being value of a user.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a system for estimating a well-being value as a mental activity of a user who participates in an event and managing a virtual currency held by the user, which is a system for inputting a user input. A terminal device that transmits data generated based on an operation to a communication line, an analysis device that generates analysis result data representing the mental state of the user, and a wellbeing value of the user is estimated based on the analysis result data, A management device which gives a virtual currency to a user according to a well-being value. The management device is a decay type in which the amount of virtual currency held by the user decreases with the passage of time, and a time elapsed. Set one of the attributes: invariant type whose amount does not change even after the end of the event, and indicate the user's report about the event after the event ends. Based on the transmitted data reported from the input terminal to a communication line, to change the attributes of the virtual currency granted for events that the user owns the invariant from attenuated to.

  According to this configuration, after the end of the event, the management device changes the attribute of the virtual currency from the decay type to the invariant type based on the report data transmitted on the Internet by the user who participated in the event. The report data represents the user's report regarding the event, and is transmitted using, for example, the SNS communication function. If the user is happy with the event, the content of the report data is assumed to be positive for the event. As a result, the willingness of others to access the report data will be increased.

  In this way, the user who sends the report data is expected to act as an “ambassador” that informs friends and others of the event and encourages participation. The management device changes the attribute of the virtual currency from the decay type to the invariant type in return for such user behavior. The user actively transmits the report data in order to obtain the invariant virtual currency whose amount does not change over time.

  As a result, according to the above configuration, a suitable cycle is formed between the transmission of report data and the participation of a new user in the event, the quality of the event provided by the event provider is improved, and the well-being of the participating users is increased. A synergistic effect of increasing the value can be expected.

  In the present invention, preferably, the management device increases the amount of virtual currency that is changed from the decay type to the invariant type, as the amount of information affirmative to the event in the report data is larger. In addition, the management device increases the amount of virtual currency that is changed from the decay type to the invariant type as the ratio of the information positive to the event in the report data is higher.

  The greater the amount of event-positive information in the report data sent by the user, and the higher the proportion of event-positive information in the report data, the more willing to participate in the event by others who have accessed the report data. It is expected to increase. According to the above configuration, the user who has transmitted the report data that further motivates others to participate in the event can obtain many invariant virtual currencies. As a result, it becomes possible to form a suitable cycle between the transmission of report data and the participation of a new user in an event.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the virtual currency management system which raises a user's wellbeing value can be provided.

It is a conceptual diagram of the life active system by embodiment of this invention. It is a block diagram of the life active system by the embodiment of the present invention. It is a graph which shows the time change of a WB value. It is a graph which shows the time change of the virtual currency balance of a user. It is a flowchart which shows the process which a management apparatus performs during a brewing period. 6 is a flowchart showing a process executed by the management device during the fixing period.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, a schematic configuration of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a life active system S according to the embodiment. The life active system S is an example of a virtual currency management system. FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of the life active system S. Hereinafter, “life active” may be described as “LA” and “well-being” may be described as “WB”.

  In the present embodiment, “well-being” means that the user cancels out his or her negative feelings, acquires a feeling of self-fulfillment, and acquires a feeling of self-affirmation in relation to society (others). Self-affirmation includes feeling necessary and useful to society.

  Further, “life active” means a state in which the user continuously carries out activities (WB activities) to increase the degree of well-being (WB value) by interacting with society through car life (owning and driving of vehicles). To do. Then, accumulating WB activities or WB experiences in a life by the user living in a life active state can be defined as “well-aging”. It is considered that the user can reach a higher WB state by continuously accumulating WB experiences.

  Further, the LA system of the present embodiment is configured such that an economic value (virtual currency) is given to the user participating in the event and performing the WB activity. This virtual currency can be exchanged with legal currency at a predetermined exchange rate. Therefore, by participating in the event, the user can increase the WB value physically, mentally, and socially, and is given an incentive to participate in the event economically.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the life active system S (LA system S) of the present embodiment is a system for increasing the WB value of the user A through the user A participating in the event E. The event E is, for example, a travel tour, a nature tour, a mystery tour, a volunteer activity, or the like. The event E is composed of activities J1 to J3.

  The event provider B plans and realizes the event E under the cooperation of the collaborator C's personnel and financially. Cooperator C is a trader at the event site, local people, a funder, or the like. The user A spends various expenses related to the event E (participation fee, gasoline fee, food fee, etc.). The event provider B and the cooperator C can collect the operating cost by the expenditure of the user A. In the LA system of this embodiment, the community D is formed by A, B, and C through the event E, and various funds are circulated in the community D so that various events are repeatedly held. There is.

  Next, the configuration of the LA system S of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The LA system S includes an analysis device 10 mounted on the vehicle 1 of the user A, a mobile terminal 20 of the user A, and a management device 30 of the event provider B, which are configured to be wirelessly communicable. There is. The analysis device 10, the mobile terminal 20, and the management device 30 can wirelessly communicate with each other via the communication line (Internet line) 3. The analysis device 10 and the mobile terminal 20 can communicate with each other by a short-range wireless communication technology (for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark)).

  The analysis device 10 is a computer device including a processor 10a, a memory 10b, a communication circuit 10c, and the like, and performs various processes (including a plurality of analysis processes) by the processor 10a executing various programs stored in the memory 10b. Is configured. The analysis device 10 is connected to various sensor devices mounted on the vehicle 1, and the processor 10a receives the measurement data from the sensor device and stores the measurement data in the memory 10b. Further, the processor 10a transmits the processed data obtained by processing the measurement data to the management device 30 via the communication circuit 10c.

  The sensor device includes a heartbeat measuring device 11 attached to a steering wheel and a positioning device 12. The heartbeat measuring device 11 is an example of a biological sensor device. The heartbeat measuring device 11 measures the heartbeat fluctuation (electrocardiographic waveform) of the driver (user A) and outputs the measured data as biometric data (heartbeat data). The positioning device 12 acquires a vehicle position using satellite positioning using GPS (Global Positioning System) or autonomous positioning using a gyro sensor or the like.

  As the biometric sensor device, a resistance measuring device or a camera may be used instead of the heartbeat measuring device 11 or in addition to the heartbeat measuring device 11. The resistance measuring device measures the skin resistance of the user A and outputs the measured data as biometric data (resistance data). Since the contact resistance of the skin changes depending on the sweating state, the resistance data represents the sweating state of the user A. The camera also captures the image of the user A and outputs the captured image data. The analysis device 10 analyzes the image data to obtain analysis result data such as the pupil diameter of the user A, the eye movement, the behavior of the upper body including the position and orientation of the head and shoulders, and the facial expression of the user A. Can be generated.

  In a stressed state where a person feels mental stress, heart rate variability occurs, sweating is promoted, the pupil diameter increases, and the size of eye movement increases. In addition, when a person is under tension, the behavior of the upper body including the positions and orientations of the head and shoulders increases when the vehicle accelerates or decelerates or turns. In addition, a person's facial expression (such as a displacement distance of a specific part) changes in a tense state.

  Therefore, the analysis device 10 can estimate the mental state (tension) of the user by analyzing the biometric data described above. For example, the analysis device 10 determines the size of the measured value of the biometric data (frequency obtained by frequency analysis of heartbeat variability, skin resistance, pupil diameter, eye movement, upper body behavior, movement distance of specific part of face). Based on this, the degree of tension (for example, the range of minimum 0 to maximum 10) can be estimated. It should be noted that the user A is determined to be in a mentally good active state when the optimal degree of moderate tension (for example, the degree of tension = 5).

  The analysis device 10 stores the analysis result data of the mental state estimated based on the biometric data and the vehicle position data in the memory 10b at any time, and transmits these data to the management device 30 together with the vehicle identification data for identifying the vehicle 1. To do.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the analysis device 10 is mounted on the vehicle 1, but the analysis device 10 may be configured as a portable biological information measurement device so that the user A can always carry it. For example, the analysis device 10 may be a wristband type heart rate measuring device with a communication function, and in this case, the analysis device 10 can constantly transmit the analysis result data of the mental state to the management device 30.

  The mobile terminal 20 is a mobile computer device including a processor 20a, a memory 20b, a communication circuit 20c, an input / output device 20d, a display device 20e, an acceleration sensor 20f, and the like. The mobile terminal 20 is an example of a terminal device. The mobile terminal 20 is configured to perform various processes by the processor 20a executing various programs stored in the memory 20b. In the present embodiment, the mobile terminal 20 is composed of a smartphone and has a voice communication function and a data communication function originally possessed by the smartphone.

  The mobile terminal 20 functions as various sensor terminal devices by executing various applications (programs) installed in the memory 20b. Further, the processor 20a transmits / receives various data to / from the management device 30 via the communication circuit 20c. The various data include analysis result data transmitted by the mobile terminal 20 and commands transmitted by the management device 30.

  The input / output device 20d includes a keyboard or a touch sensor type input device, a microphone, a speaker, and the like. The mobile terminal 20 may be a personal digital assistant such as a PDA or a dedicated small computer device.

  The mobile terminal 20 functions as a communication device according to a communication-related application. The mobile terminal 20 accesses the website via a telephone call function, an email function, an SNS communication function (for example, Facebook (registered trademark), Instagram (registered trademark), LINE (registered trademark), etc.) and the Internet line 3. Has a browser function for.

  In addition, the mobile terminal 20 functions as a voice analysis device by an application for voice analysis. The voice analysis device is an example of an analysis device. The mobile terminal 20 analyzes the voice uttered by the user A for a predetermined period (for example, 2 to 6 seconds) to estimate the mental state of the user. The voice is an example of biometric data.

  The voice emitted by a person includes an involuntary element that can be controlled by the person and an involuntary element that is related to the emotion of the brain. That is, the vocal cords are connected to the parts of the brain that control emotions via the vagus nerve, and the emotions in the brain influence the movements of the vocal cords. Therefore, the emotions of the brain influence the voice parameters (fundamental frequency, sound pressure, pitch frequency, frequency distribution, speed, intensity change, etc.).

  In the present embodiment, the mobile terminal 20 correlates a predetermined voice parameter (in this example, the magnitude of the fundamental frequency and intensity at the fundamental frequency) with each emotion (in this example, joy, sadness, relief, anger). Is stored in the memory 20b. The mobile terminal 20 is configured to estimate the proportion of each emotion by analyzing the voice based on this table. The total value of the proportions of each emotion is constant (for example, 100%).

  Further, the mobile terminal 20 estimates a degree of excitement (excitement degree: for example, a range of minimum 0 to maximum 10) by comparing a predetermined voice parameter (pitch frequency in this example) with a predetermined value, and the excitement is performed. The degree of each emotion is estimated by multiplying the degree by the estimated rate of each emotion. The pitch frequency is the repetition frequency of the same frequency component. The higher the pitch frequency is than a predetermined value, the higher the excitement level becomes.

  The healthier the mind and body, the greater the intensity of positive emotions (joy, relief) than the negative emotions (sadness, anger). The mobile terminal 20 sums, for example, numerical values obtained by multiplying the coefficient set for each emotion by the estimated intensity of each emotion, and calculates the activity level (or soundness level) of the heart based on this total value. Is configured. For example, the coefficient for positive emotions can be a positive value (> 0) and the coefficient for negative emotions can be a negative value (<0). The mental health can be expressed in the range of 0 (lowest) to 100 (highest), for example.

  The mobile terminal 20 as the voice analysis device constantly collects the voice of the user A through the microphone. In addition, the mobile terminal 20 intermittently (every predetermined time (for example, every 10 minutes) and in response to a command from the management device 30) asks the user to ask a utterance (for example, "Activity is How was it? ") From the speaker. Then, the mobile terminal 20 collects the voice uttered by the user A in response to this question. The mobile terminal 20 analyzes the acquired voice to generate analysis result data representing the mental state of the user A, and stores the analysis result data together with the generation time in the memory 20b. The function as the voice analysis device may be provided in the analysis device 10 of the vehicle 1 in addition to the mobile terminal 20. Note that such a voice analysis application is provided, for example, by PST Co., Ltd. under the product name “MIMOSYS (registered trademark)”.

  In addition, the mobile terminal 20 functions as a positioning device by the positioning application. The mobile terminal 20 acquires the current position of the mobile terminal 20 based on communication with surrounding communication stations or based on satellite positioning using GPS, and records the current position in the memory 20b as current position data. The mobile terminal 20 transmits the current position data to the management device 30 at a predetermined time. The management device 30 can generate action log data by tracking the movement trajectory of the user A based on the current position data.

  Further, the mobile terminal 20 functions as a communication analysis device by an application for communication analysis. The mobile terminal 20 analyzes the text data transmitted by the user A using the above-described e-mail function, SNS communication function, and browser function by natural language processing (text mining). In addition, the mobile terminal 20 may similarly analyze a response from the friend or the like to the data transmitted by the user A (for example, a mail reply, an evaluation of “like”, a comment post, or the like). The mobile terminal 20 transmits the analysis result to the management device 30.

  The mobile terminal 20 serving as the communication analysis device, based on the expression table that is a part of the application, extracts a specific word (“happy”, “happy”, “sad” from the text data transmitted / received or posted by the user. , “Tough”, etc.) are extracted. Furthermore, the mobile terminal 20 analyzes the mental state of the user based on the appearance frequency of these words and the like, and generates analysis result data based on the analysis result. The expression table stores a large number of expressions corresponding to emotions. Therefore, the analysis result data includes the ratios of the user's four emotions of "joy", "sadness", "safety", and "anger" at the time of transmission, and information on the respective intensities. The mobile terminal 20 may analyze the mental state from image data transmitted or posted by the user.

  In addition, the mobile terminal 20 functions as a behavior measurement device by the behavior measurement application. The mobile terminal 20 calculates the acceleration and jerk (jerk) when the user moves while carrying the mobile terminal 20, based on the measurement data received from the acceleration sensor 20f. The obtained acceleration and jerk are recorded in the memory 20b as behavior data. The mobile terminal 20 transmits the behavior data to the management device 30 at a predetermined time.

  The management device 30 is a computer device (server device) including a processor 30a, a memory 30b, a communication circuit 30c, an input / output device 30d, a display device 30e, and the like, and the processor 30a executes a program stored in the memory 30b. , Is configured to perform various kinds of processing. In addition to the programs, the memory 30b stores event data of various events provided by the event provider. The event data includes information regarding the schedule, venue, contents, participants, etc. of the event. The management device 30 receives data from the analysis device 10 and the mobile terminal 20 of the participant (user A). The management device 30 also transmits predetermined information and commands to the analysis device 10 and the mobile terminal 20 based on the received data and the event data.

  Further, the memory 30b of the management device 30 stores the user data of the user A (and the event-related person). The user data includes personal data of the user A (age, gender, address, vehicle identification information, mobile terminal information, etc.), action log data, various data (positioning data, emotion data, current position data, behavior data, estimated WB value). ), Virtual currency data, etc. are included. The virtual currency data represents the amount (amount) of virtual currency possessed by the user A.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 3A, the behavior of the user who participated in the event E (for example, one-day area experience tour) and the temporal change of the WB value will be described. FIG. 3A is a graph showing the change over time in the WB value. The period shown in FIG. 3A is a preparation period P1 (for example, 3 weeks) before the user A participates in the event E, an action period P2 in which the user A is participating in the event E (for example, 1 day), and an event E. Each period includes a brewing period P3 (for example, 4 weeks) and a fixing period P4 (for example, 3 months) after the end of.

  The event E is planned to increase the WB value of the user A by having the user A experience various things through interaction with fellows and people with whom he / she touched. The user A moves to the holding place using the vehicle 1 and enjoys the activity (content) at the event E. Then, the user A returns home using the vehicle 1 after the end of the event E. When there are a plurality of holding places, the user A uses the vehicle 1 to move between the holding places.

  Generally, in daily life, the user A is in a state where it is difficult to obtain a WB feeling (that is, the WB value is in a low state). The user A contacts the information of the event E during the preparation period P1 (time t0). The preparation period P1 is a period in which the user A prepares to participate in an extraordinary event E different from daily life.

  When the user A contacts the information of the event E and creates a feeling of wanting to participate in the event E in the user A, this mood works to cancel the self-negative feeling of the user A. Therefore, the WB value of the user A increases. The user A transmits the participation application data from the mobile terminal 20 to the management device 30 with the WB value higher than usual (time t1).

  In the preparation period P1, the user A can notify a friend of participation in the event E by using the communication function of the mobile terminal 20 (for example, the SNS communication function, the email function). That is, the user A can express the feeling of expectation for the event E using text data or image data, and can send this expression via the Internet line 3. As a result, within the user A, a sense of expectation expands, and a sense of self-realization (a virtual experience of the event E) is satisfied by notifying a friend. Thus, in the preparation period P1, the WB value of the user A is maintained higher than usual. At this time, the mobile terminal 20 (communication analysis device) analyzes the data and the response content transmitted by the user A, and transmits the analysis result data to the management device 30. In addition, the mobile terminal 20 (voice analysis device) analyzes the voice of the user A at predetermined time intervals and based on the command from the management device 30, and transmits the analysis result data. The management device 30 can use the received analysis result data for estimating the WB value.

  During the action period P2, when the user A drives the vehicle 1 and heads for the event holding place (time t2), the self-negative feeling is further canceled and the user's feeling of self-fulfillment is gradually satisfied. The WB value rises. The management device 30 can receive the analysis result data generated while the analysis device 10 of the vehicle 1 and the mobile terminal 20 (voice analysis device) are driving, and use the received analysis result data for estimating the WB value.

  After arriving at the holding place, the user A experiences the three main activities (contents) J1, J2, J3 forming the event E (time t3, t4, t5). In each activity (for example, making a local specialty product, experience of harvesting agricultural products, etc.), the user A has a feeling of self-fulfillment and self-affirmation, and the WB value takes a maximum value. Note that when one activity ends, the maximized WB value gradually decreases with the passage of time, but the WB value again maximizes in the next activity.

  In the action period P2, the management device 30 transmits the individual question data to the mobile terminal 20 of the user A after each activity based on the event data (and the current position data of the user A if necessary). . This individual question data is for investigating the satisfaction degree of the user A for each activity J1, J2, J3. The user A can perform an input operation on the mobile terminal 20 to answer a plurality of questions included in the individual question data to create individual evaluation data and return the individual evaluation data (time t3, t4, t5). ).

  The plurality of questions are set so that the degree of achievement, self-fulfillment, self-affirmation, etc., of the user A through each activity can be estimated from the individual evaluation data. Specifically, the questions are, for example, "Do you want to recommend this activity to others?", "Would you like to join this activity again?", "Are you satisfied with this activity?", "This activity?" Was it helpful to people? ”Is set.

  The individual evaluation data includes the evaluation level of the user's subjective satisfaction with each question. The user A can select a subjective evaluation level from a plurality of options for each question, for example. The options are, for example, “very good (100 points)”, “good (75 points)”, “normal (50 points)”, “bad (25 points)”, and “very bad (0 points)”. . The evaluation format may be a format in which the user selects the evaluation level from 100 points (“very good”) to 0 points (“very bad”).

  When receiving the individual evaluation data from the mobile terminal 20 of the user A, the management device 30 can use the individual evaluation data for estimating the WB value. For example, it is estimated that the larger the average score of the evaluation levels of a plurality of questions, the higher the WB value. The individual evaluation data is the degree of subjective evaluation of the user A with respect to the activity.

  In addition, the management device 30 responds to the transmission of the individual question data (for example, within a predetermined time from the transmission of the individual question data, within a predetermined time from the reception of the individual evaluation information from the user A, etc.) to the mobile terminal 20. Command for voice analysis may be transmitted. Upon receiving this command, the mobile terminal 20 asks the user A a question, then acquires the voice data of the user, analyzes the voice data, and estimates the mental state. The mobile terminal 20 returns the analysis result data to the management device 30. The management device 30 can use the received analysis result data for estimating the WB value.

  Further, the user A can transmit the report data by using the communication function (particularly, the SNS communication function) of the mobile terminal 20 and share the impression of each activity with a friend. That is, the user A can express the impression and satisfaction obtained in each activity by using text data or image data, and can send this expression as report data via the Internet line 3. With such a transmission action, the WB value of the user A is maintained in a high state without being attenuated. The friend or the like of the user A can access the report data by using the communication function of his / her own mobile terminal or the like, and can give the “like” evaluation. A “like” evaluation is an example of a positive evaluation. Further, similarly to the above, the management device 30 can receive the analysis result data for the transmission data from the mobile terminal 20 (communication analysis device) and use this analysis result data for the estimation of the WB value.

  Even when the user A drives the vehicle 1 and moves between activities in the action period P2, the management device 30 receives the analysis result data from the biometric sensor device of the vehicle 1 and the mobile terminal 20 (voice analysis device). The received analysis result data can be used for estimating the WB value.

  When the event E ends, the user A drives the vehicle 1 and returns home (time t6), and returns to daily life again. While returning home, the user A can immerse himself in the feeling of self-fulfillment and self-affirmation while looking back on the memories of the event E. The management device 30 can receive the analysis result data generated by the various biosensor devices of the vehicle 1 and the mobile terminal 20 (voice analysis device) during driving, and use the received analysis result data for estimating the WB value. .

  In the brewing period P3, the memory of the event E clearly remains in the user A, and the user A still feels the event E as a familiar existence. In the training period P3, the acquired positive emotions (feeling of self-fulfillment, feelings of self-affirmation) are sorted out in the user A, and appreciation to the people who have come into contact at the event E is fostered. However, the WB value that has reached a high state due to the participation in the event E gradually decreases with time in the brewing period P3.

  In the brewing period P3, the management device 30 transmits the whole question data to the mobile terminal 20 of the user A after the lapse of the first predetermined period (for example, several days to one week) from the end of the event E (time t7). . This overall question data is for investigating the overall satisfaction of the event E for the user A. The user A operates the mobile terminal 20 to create overall evaluation data by answering a plurality of questions included in the overall question data, as in the individual question data described above, and returns the overall evaluation data. Can be performed (time t7).

  The format of the whole question data is the same as the format of the individual question data described above. Questions are, for example, "Would you like to recommend this event to others?", "Would you like to attend this event again?", "Are you satisfied with this event?" It is set like "Taka". When receiving the overall evaluation data from the mobile terminal 20 of the user A, the management device 30 can use this overall evaluation data for estimating the WB value. The overall evaluation data is the degree of subjective evaluation of the user A with respect to the event E. Further, the management device 30 may transmit a command for voice analysis even in the case of whole question data, as in the case of individual question data. In response to this command, the mobile terminal 20 can execute a voice analysis process and return the analysis result data to the management device 30.

  In the brewing period P3, the management device 30 transmits the follow-up data to the mobile terminal 20 of the user A after the second predetermined period has elapsed (for example, one week to several weeks) after the event E ends ( Time t8). The follow-up data is transmitted to give the user A an opportunity to express appreciation to the people involved in the event. By performing an input operation on the mobile terminal 20, the user A can respond to the follow-up data and return the thank-you communication data expressing appreciation. The persons involved in the event are the staff who manages the event E, volunteer staff, local residents, etc., and are stored in advance in the memory 30b of the management device 30.

  User A can create thank-you communication data by answering a plurality of answer items included in the follow-up data. Answer items include, for example, items that specify the target person to thank (place, time, gender, keywords, etc.), items that specify the degree of appreciation (“high”, “middle”, “low”, etc.). . The answer item may include an item for which a comment can be input by the user A and an item for specifying a transfer amount of virtual currency described later. Therefore, the thank-you communication data includes the target person who should be grateful and the degree of gratitude to the target person.

  Thereby, the user A can easily convey the feeling of gratitude to the target person during the brewing period P3 even if the contact information of the target person is not known (for example, he / she did not hesitate to ask the contact information). This helps promote positive emotional organization. Further, the user A may obtain a further sense of self-fulfillment and a sense of self-affirmation. If there is no target person to thank, the user A does not have to transmit the thank-you communication data.

  Furthermore, in the fixing period P4 when a predetermined period has passed since the end of the event E (for example, two to three months later), the management device 30 analyzes the report data transmitted by the user A until then (time t9). . As described above, while the mobile terminal 20 analyzes the text data transmitted by the user A by the natural language processing (text mining), the management device 30 detects the information included in the text data and positive for the event. ,analyse. The analysis result by the management device 30 here is used for giving virtual currency as described later.

  Next, data and an estimation method for estimating the WB value in the present embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, in order to estimate the WB value, it is possible to use a plurality of types of data from low-order data to high-order data shown below.

  First, the analysis result data (low-order data) provided by the analyzer 10 can be used to estimate the WB value. This analysis result data is obtained by measuring the heart rate variability and skin resistance of the user A, and represents the objective mental state of the user A. The analysis result data is generated and transmitted constantly or intermittently while the user A is driving the vehicle 1. The measurement time required to obtain significant information from this analysis result data is several seconds to several minutes. Further, the heartbeat fluctuation of the user A may change within a few seconds to an hour. Therefore, it is considered that the meaningful period (effective period) as the obtained information is from several minutes to several tens of minutes including during measurement or at the time of measurement.

The analysis device 10 generates and transmits analysis result data representing the mental state of the user A based on the biometric data. Further, the management device 30 can estimate the WB value for each measurement time by using the received analysis result data (this WB value may be referred to as “WB _B estimated value”). The WB _B estimated value is, for example, in the range of 0 (the lowest WB value) to 100 (the highest WB value). For example, the WB _B estimation value is estimated to be the highest (WB value = 100) when the optimal tension is moderate (tension = 5), and the WB _B estimation value is estimated to be lower as the distance from the optimal value increases. It should be noted that this WB _B estimated value is low-order information that is not directly linked to the emotion of the user A (emotion, emotion, etc.). Therefore, this WB _B estimated value may be unreliable.

  Further, in order to estimate the WB value, analysis result data (intermediate data) provided by the mobile terminal 20 as a voice analysis device can be used. The analysis result data is generated by analyzing the voice (biological data) of the user A interactively emitted between the voice analysis device and the user A, and is directly connected to the emotion of the user A. . The sound collection time of the voice of the user A required to generate this analysis result data is about several seconds. In addition, the emotions of the user A can change typically in several minutes to one hour. Therefore, it is considered that the valid period of the obtained information is about several tens of minutes from the time of collecting the voice.

As described above, the mobile terminal 20 transmits the analysis result data directly associated with the emotion of the user A. The management device 30 can estimate the WB value for each measurement time using the received analysis result data (this WB value may be referred to as “WB _V estimated value”). The WB _V estimated value is, for example, in the range of 0 to 100, as in the case of the WB _B estimated value. The management device 30 can employ, for example, the mental health (0 to 100) as the WB _V estimated value. Note that the WB _V estimated value estimated from the voice analysis is an objective estimated value directly connected to the emotion of the user A, and is generally highly reliable. However, for example, in a long-distance walk event, a great sense of accomplishment is obtained at the goal point, but it is difficult during the walking between the point points. Thus, for these types of events, the WB _V estimate may be underestimated as a whole.

  Further, in order to estimate the WB value, analysis result data (intermediate data) generated by the mobile terminal 20 as a communication analysis device can be used. However, since this analysis result data is obtained by analyzing the subjective transmission data of the user A, it may not always represent the objective mental state of the user (the transmission data differs from the emotion of the user A). If). When the user A sends a comment or the like by the SNS communication function, a friend or the user A itself may send a comment in response to this sending. Therefore, when analyzing one transmission from the user A including the subsequent related transmission, it may be necessary to continue the analysis for several minutes to several days. Therefore, the valid period of the obtained information may extend over the period of communication between the user and the friend.

As described above, the mobile terminal 20 outputs the mental state as analysis result data by the communication analysis process. Further, the management device 30 can estimate the WB value for each analysis period by using the received analysis result data (this WB value may be referred to as “WB _C estimated value”). The WB _C estimated value is, for example, in the range of 0 to 100, as in the case of the WB _B estimated value. The management apparatus 30, for example, for four emotion, and percentage of each emotion, and intensity of each emotion, the coefficients set for each emotion multiplied, it is possible to adopt these sum as WB _C estimate .

  Further, in order to estimate the WB value, evaluation data (higher order data) by the user A for each activity or event can be used. To obtain the evaluation data, it is necessary to elapse the execution period of each activity or event. Since the evaluation data is based on the subjectivity of the user, it is less objective than the data obtained by using the biometric sensor device or the voice analysis device. However, by analyzing the evaluation data, it is possible to estimate the higher mental state of the user A for each activity or event E.

The management device 30 receives the evaluation data from the mobile terminal 20, and estimates the WB value based on the total value of each question (this WB value may be referred to as “WB _E estimated value”). For example, the ratio (p / m × 100) of the total score p of all the questions (the maximum score of m in all the questions) to the maximum score can be set as the WB _E estimated value.

  Also, action log data (higher-order data) can be used to estimate the WB value. The management apparatus 30 may analyze how many activities of the various activities planned for the event E by the user A from the action log data of the user A to estimate the sense of achievement of the user A. it can. To obtain the action log data, it is necessary to elapse the event implementation period.

At the end of the event E, the management device 30 determines from the action log how many activities the user A has participated in among the plurality of activities prepared in the event E. For example, in the event E, when the user A participates in m activities out of n prepared activities, the participation ratio (n / m × 100) can be set as the WB value (this WB value is "WB _L estimated value"). For example, the event is a target to finish as long-distance walk event, the method of estimating the WB _L estimates using action log data is valid.

Furthermore, in order to estimate the WB value, event participation history data obtained based on the action log data (higher-order data) of the user A may be considered. That is, the event participation history data represents the number of times the user A participated in the event over the past several years, the frequency of participation, the type of event that participated, and the like. By analyzing such event participation history data, it is possible to estimate the higher (social) mental state of the user A with respect to the event participation activity over several months to several years. The repeated participation in the event causes the user A to repeatedly feel self-fulfilling, and this accumulates unconsciously. Such repetitive experience of self-fulfillment over several years is considered to have a good influence on the personality of the user A. The management device 30 acquires the event participation history data of the user A, and calculates the cumulative WB value by multiplying the number of participations by a coefficient, for example (this WB value may be referred to as “WB _R estimated value”). .

As described above, in principle, the management device 30 uses each single data (low-order data only, intermediate data only, high-order data only) to determine the WB value (WB _B estimated value, WB _V estimated value). , WB _C estimated value, WB _E estimated value, WB _L estimated value, WB _R estimated value) can be estimated.

These WB estimated values have different time lengths of the target period depending on the data used. For example, WB in _B estimate and WB _V estimate is that every few seconds to a few minutes duration of the period is every transmission in WB _C estimates, each evaluation in WB _E estimates (i.e., for each activity, or a per event), the WB _L estimated value is each event, a few months to several years in the WB _R estimates.

  Further, the management device 30 can estimate a WB value that is more realistic by combining a plurality of types of data having different time lengths of the target period. That is, by guaranteeing the accuracy of higher order data with lower order data, conversely, by guaranteeing the accuracy of lower order data with higher order data, guaranteed data is obtained. It can be used for estimation of WB value.

In the present embodiment, in estimating the WB value, the WB _B estimated value, the W _{B C} estimated value, the W _{B E} estimated value, the W B _L estimated value, and the W B _R estimated value are corrected with the WB _V estimated value as an emotion index. It is configured. For example, the WB value can be calculated by the following formula.
WB value = (coefficient k _V × WB _V estimated value)
+ Σ (coefficient kn × WBn estimated value × WB _V estimated value) + Σ (adjusted value Mn)
(However, n = B, C, E, L, R)

That is, a value obtained by multiplying the WB _V estimated value by the coefficient k _V , a value obtained by multiplying each WBn estimated value by the coefficient kn and the WB _V estimated value, and an adjustment value Mn corresponding to each WBn estimated value The WB value is calculated in total. Note that it is not necessary to use all estimated values other than the WB _V estimated value. Therefore, the values of the coefficients k _V and kn and the value of the adjustment value Mn can be set differently depending on the combination of the types of data used.

  In the present embodiment, when a plurality of types of data are used, a plurality of types of data obtained during the corresponding periods are used. For example, when estimating the WB value for the activity J1 of the event E, a plurality of types of data measured during the implementation period of the activity J1 (near time t3) are used. In addition, when estimating the WB value for the entire event E, data measured during the implementation period (time t2 to t6) of the event E is used in principle. The data used may be the average value during the period or the value at the specific time.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 3B, 4 and 5, the virtual currency that the management device 30 gives to the user A in connection with the event E will be described. FIG. 3B is a graph showing the change over time of the virtual currency balance of the user. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a process executed by the management device 30 during the brewing period P3. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the processing executed by the management device 30 during the fixing period P4. The LA system S of the present embodiment is configured such that a predetermined amount of virtual currency (unit is “P”) is given to the user A according to the estimated WB value, triggered by the satisfaction of a predetermined condition. Has been done.

  The management device 30 sets one of two types of attributes (decay type and invariant type) to the virtual currency. The attribute of the virtual currency can be changed between the decay type and the invariant type. Decaying virtual currency has a time-decaying property (for example, halving in 10 weeks) in which the amount thereof decreases with the passage of time. The decay rate may be linear or stepwise with time, or exponential. On the other hand, the amount of immutable virtual currency does not change over time.

  Further, usable objects are different between the decay type virtual currency and the invariant type virtual currency. Specifically, the decay virtual currency can be used only for participation in an event held after the grant, while the immutable virtual currency is specified not only for participation in the event but also in advance. It can also be used to purchase purchased goods and services and convert to fiat currency.

  As described above, in the preparation period P1, when the user A transmits the participation application data from the mobile terminal 20 to the management device 30 (time t1), the WB value of the user A is higher than usual due to the increased expectation of the event. It is speculated that it is also rising. The management device 30 gives virtual currency to the user A according to the increase in the WB value. Specifically, when the management device 30 receives the participation application data from the mobile terminal 20, the management device 30 adds a predetermined amount (for example, 20P) to the virtual currency data included in the user data of the user A. This predetermined amount may be a fixed value or a value according to the participation fee paid by the user A to the event provider B.

  In the action period P2, for each of the activities J1 to J3, the management device 30 estimates the WB value based on the individual evaluation data received from the user A and the analysis result data by the voice analysis (time t3, t4, t5. ), And gives a predetermined amount of virtual currency to the user A according to the estimated WB value. For example, if the estimated WB value exceeds the predetermined value, a predetermined amount (fixed amount) of virtual currency is given to the user A. In FIG. 3B, a predetermined amount of virtual currencies (for example, 40P, 50P, and 30P, respectively) are provided corresponding to the activities J1, J2, and J3.

  In addition, the virtual currency provided in the preparation period P1 and the action period P2 is a decay type. Therefore, the attenuation at the predetermined attenuation rate starts from the time of application or after the elapse of a predetermined non-attenuation period (for example, several days to several weeks after) from the application.

  Further, in the brewing period P3, for the event E, the management device 30 receives the overall evaluation data received from the user A (and, if necessary, analysis result data based on the user's voice at the time of returning the overall evaluation data, and during the event period). The WB value is estimated based on various analysis result data). The management device 30 may set the attenuation rate of the virtual currency in the user data based on the estimated WB value. Specifically, the higher the estimated WB value is, the lower the attenuation rate can be set.

  Further, in the fostering period P3, when the user A responds to the follow-up data and returns the thank-you communication information using the mobile terminal 20 (time t8), the virtual transfer of the predetermined transfer amount F from the user A to the person involved in the event E is performed. The currency is transferred. That is, in the virtual currency data stored in the user data of the user A, the management device 30 converts the attenuation virtual currency of the transfer amount F into the same amount of immutable virtual currency by changing the attribute. Then, the management device 30 subtracts the invariant virtual currency of the transfer amount F from the user data of the user A, and adds it as the invariant virtual currency to the virtual currency data of the user data of the person related to the event E.

  The processing executed by the management device 30 at this time will be described with reference to FIG. The management device 30 executes the process shown in FIG. 4 after the second predetermined period has elapsed since the end of the event E.

  First, in step S11, the management device 30 transmits follow-up data to the mobile terminal 20 of the user A. As described above, the follow-up data is transmitted in order to give the user A an opportunity to express gratitude to the people involved in the event, and the user A answers a plurality of answer items included in the follow-up data. Can create thank-you communication data.

  Next, in step S12, the management device 30 determines whether or not thank-you communication data has been received from the mobile terminal 20 within a predetermined period (for example, within one week). When it is determined that the thanks transmission data has been received within the period (S12: YES), the management device 30 proceeds to step S13.

  Next, in step S13, the management device 30 changes some attributes of the virtual currency held by the user A from the decay type to the invariant type.

  Next, in step S14, the management device 30 gives the virtual currency changed to the invariant type to the persons involved in the event E. That is, the virtual currency changed to the invariant type is added to the virtual currency data stored in the user data of the person concerned with the event E.

  Next, in step S15, the management device 30 subtracts the amount of virtual currency given to the person involved in the event E from the virtual currency data stored in the user data of the user A. That is, a part of the virtual currency held by the user A is transferred to the provider of the event E after the attribute is changed to the invariant type.

  On the other hand, when the management device 30 determines in step S12 that the thanks transmission data has not been received within the predetermined period (S12: NO), the management device 30 does not execute the processes of steps S13 to S15. That is, the attribute of the virtual currency held by the user A is not changed to the invariant type during the brewing period P3. Therefore, thereafter, the amount of virtual currency held by the user A decreases with time.

  It should be noted that the event provider B receives the immutable virtual currency of the transfer amount F on behalf of the persons involved in the event. The event provider B can send a thank-you comment from the user A to the one or more target persons identified in the reply of the follow-up information together with the immutable virtual currency of the transfer amount F. In this way, the people involved in the event can receive gratitude and gain economic value by being involved in the management of the event E. This will be an incentive for event parties to further improve Event E from a WB perspective.

  The transfer amount F may be a specified value or a value selected by the user A in the answer item regarding the transfer amount included in the follow-up information. When the transfer amount F is a specified value, for example, the specified value may be set according to the WB value estimated in the overall question data (the specified value is set higher when the estimated WB value is higher). A predetermined ratio (for example, 30%) of the virtual currency given to the user A in association with the event E may be set as the prescribed value. In addition, the virtual currency of the transfer amount F may not be subtracted from the virtual currency data of the user A when transferring to the event provider B.

  Further, in the fixing period P4, the management device 30 sets the predetermined amount G of the attenuation type virtual currency in the virtual currency data of the user A based on the report data transmitted by the user A using the mobile terminal 20 in the fostering period P3. Convert to invariant virtual currency (time t9). In the present embodiment, the management device 30 rejects a predetermined ratio (0 to 100%) of the attenuation virtual currency that was added at the event E and that was present in the virtual currency data of the user when the confirmation information was received. Convert to a modified virtual currency. The predetermined amount G of the immutable virtual currency is in return for the user A becoming an “ambassador”.

  The processing executed by the management device 30 at this time will be described with reference to FIG. The management device 30 executes the process illustrated in FIG. 5 after a predetermined period of time has passed since the end of the event E (for example, after 2 to 3 months).

  First, in step S21, the management device 30 receives the analysis result of the report data from the mobile terminal 20. Specifically, while the mobile terminal 20 analyzes the text data included in the report data by natural language processing (text mining), the management device 30 receives the analysis result from the mobile terminal 20.

  Next, in step S22, the management device 30 determines the predetermined amount G based on the analysis result received from the mobile terminal 20. Specifically, the management device 30 increases the predetermined amount G as the amount of information affirmative to the event in the report data increases. Further, the management device 30 increases the predetermined amount G as the ratio of the information positive to the event in the report data is higher.

  Next, in step S23, the management device 30 converts the predetermined amount G of the attenuation virtual currency of the virtual currency data of the user A into the invariant virtual currency.

Next, the operation of the system of this embodiment will be described.
With this configuration, after the end of the event E, the management device 30 changes the attribute of the virtual currency from the decay type to the invariant type based on the report data transmitted on the Internet by the user A participating in the event E. . The report data represents the report of the user A regarding the event E and is transmitted using the SNS communication function. If the user A is happy with the event E, it is assumed that the content of the report data will be positive for the event E. As a result, the willingness of others who have accessed the report data to participate in the event E is increased.

  As described above, the user A who sends the report data is expected to act as an “ambassador” that informs friends and the like of the event E and encourages participation. The management device 30 changes the attribute of the virtual currency from the decay type to the invariant type in return for the behavior of the user A. The user A positively transmits the report data in order to obtain the invariant virtual currency whose amount does not change over time.

  As a result, according to the above configuration, a suitable cycle is formed between the transmission of report data and the participation of a new user in the event, the quality of the event provided by the event provider is improved, and the well-being of the participating users is increased. A synergistic effect of increasing the value can be expected.

  Further, the management device 30 increases the amount G of virtual currency changed from the decay type to the invariant type as the amount of information affirmative to the event E in the report data increases. Further, the management device 30 increases the amount G of the virtual currency that is changed from the decay type to the invariant type, as the ratio of the information positive to the event in the report data is higher.

  The greater the amount of information that is positive for the event E in the report data transmitted by the user A, and the higher the proportion of information that is positive for the event E in the report data, the more likely the event E of another person who accessed the report data is. It is expected that the willingness to participate will increase. According to the above configuration, the user A who has transmitted the report data that further motivates others to participate in the event E can obtain many invariant virtual currencies. As a result, it becomes possible to form a suitable cycle between the transmission of report data and the participation of a new user in an event.
