Here, an example of screen transition in the provision process will be described along the flow with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of screen transition according to the embodiment. In FIG. 7, it is assumed that the user has installed the application AP that performs the provision process in advance.

First, as shown in FIG. 7, the user terminal 10 displays the content SC1 when the user activates the application AP. For example, in the example of FIG. 7, the user terminal 10 displays the content on which the character PC 1 and the like are displayed together with a message for accepting the user such as "Welcome to the application". The character referred to here may be any object, for example, a character used for a person, an animal, an animation, or the like.

Then, the user terminal 10 receives the information that the user has input various information into the content SC2. For example, in the example of FIG. 7, the user terminal 10 displays the content SC2 including a basic question. For example, the content SC2 has a title such as "Enter basic answer", a basic question used to receive a service such as "What is the expected date of delivery?", And an answer that selects a date such as "May 8". Includes columns.

The question displayed on the content SC2 is an example, and various questions are displayed on the content SC2. For example, a question is a basic question such as gender, age, weight or current physical condition. Further, the input by the user is not limited to the mode of the selection format by pull-down, and may be, for example, the mode in which the user inputs a comment or the like in a text in a free format.

Then, the providing device 100 individually provides a preset basic question and receives an answer (step ST). Then, the user terminal 10 displays the content SC3 when it is determined that the user has input the answers to all the basic questions. For example, in the example of FIG. 7, the content SC3 includes a tutorial showing an explanation of operations and the like related to the application AP.

For example, the tutorial is an explanation of the application AP, what the application AP can do, or an explanation about the operation of the application AP. The tutorial may include services that the company that provides the application AP wants the user to use.

Then, when the tutorial is completed, the user terminal 10 asks the user whether or not to perform the type diagnosis, and when the user selects to perform the type diagnosis, the user terminal 10 diagnoses the type of the user.

Then, the providing device 100 individually provides a question for performing a type-specific diagnosis and receives an answer (step ST). Then, the user terminal 10 displays the content SC5, which is a so-called home screen, when it is determined that the user has input the answers to all the questions for performing the type-specific diagnosis. For example, in the example of FIG. 7, the content SC5 has a button for transitioning to content such as "my notebook" in which the user's own experience story can be input, and another content different from the user such as "everyone's notebook". Includes a button that transitions to content that displays user experiences, etc., and a button that transitions to content that displays articles such as "recommended articles" and articles summarized on the summary site.

For example, an example in which "Minna no Note" of the content SC5 is selected by the user will be described. In addition, it is assumed that the interest of the user is the 13th week of pregnancy. In this case, the content SC6, which is a note associated with the number of weeks "13W" and indicates a note published by another user, is displayed on the user terminal 10. For example, the content SC6 includes "user # 1's 13th week of pregnancy note", "user # 2's 13th week of pregnancy note", and "user # 3's 13th week of pregnancy note". including. In this way, since the providing device 100 can provide the notes of other users selected according to the attributes of the users, it becomes easy to acquire useful information for the users.

On the other hand, when the "recommended article" of the content SC5 is selected by the user, the content SC7 including the thumbnail of the article selected according to the attribute of the user is displayed on the user terminal 10. For example, in the content SC7, the user is in the 13th week of pregnancy, such as "recommended meal in the 13th week of pregnancy", "recommended exercise in the 13th week of pregnancy", and "what to do in the 13th week of pregnancy". In some cases, it contains thumbnails of articles that are presumed to be useful for pregnant women in the 13th week of pregnancy. In this way, the providing device 100 can provide content corresponding to the interests of the user and the child (foetation) and the state of the user and the child (foetation), and thus obtains useful information for the user. It will be easier.

If the user does not select to perform the type diagnosis in the tutorial SC3, the providing device 100 may display the content SC5 without displaying the content SC4. In this way, since the providing device 100 determines the type of the user, it is possible to provide information suitable for the user and useful for the user.

[3-3. Article screen display example]

Then, the providing device 100 notes when the user U2 selects the content C1 from the contents distributed according to the attributes of the user U2 or from the contents searched by the user U2 by himself / herself. The content C1 selected by the user U2 is associated (added) with the note of the user U2 which is a duplicate of N1. As a result, the providing device 100 can provide the user U2 original note N2 in which the content C1 is added to the note N1 inherited from the user U1. On the other hand, when the user U4 selects the content C2 from the contents distributed according to the attributes of the user U4, the providing device 100 refers to the user U4's note, which is a copy of the note N1. Link (add) the content C2 selected by U4. As a result, the providing device 100 can provide the user U4 original note N4 in which the content C2 is added to the note N1 inherited from the user U1.

In this way, the providing device 100 provides the note N1 of the user U1 whose attributes related to the due date satisfy the predetermined conditions to other users U2 and U4 whose attributes such as type and preference are similar to those of the user U1. Then, if the other users U2 and U4 like the note N1, a copy of the note N1 is provided as the notes N2 and N4 of the other users U2 and U4. As a result of such processing, the providing device 100 uses, for example, a popular note to be used by another user following the user who generated the note (for example, the user U1 who is in the 10th week of pregnancy. It can be handed over to U2, U4). Further, the providing device 100 accepts the editing of the notes N2 and N4 attracted by the users U2 and U4, and publishes the edited notes N2 and N4 again.

In this way, the providing device 100 can realize the transfer of useful information between users who have common attributes related to the development of the child, and can sequentially update the useful information. As a result, the providing device 100 can provide useful information for the user for each attribute. In the above embodiment, as an example, a notebook created every week, which is the number of weeks of pregnancy, is given as an example, but the notebook is not limited to this, for example, every three weeks, every month, every quarter, and so on. In addition, it may be a note created for each of various periods. In addition, the timing of publishing the note may be any time, but it is preferable that the note can be published at the end of the "target period of the note". For example, an example will be described in which user A creates a "notebook for the 10th to 12th week of pregnancy" at the 10th week of pregnancy and edits the notebook created until the end of the 12th week. In this case, the providing device 100 publishes "notebooks from the 10th to the 12th week of pregnancy" when the user A reaches the 13th week. At this time, the providing device 100 publishes a note summarizing the information obtained by the user A as necessary or interested while the user A spends 10 to 12 weeks of pregnancy. In this way, the providing device 100 allows another user, who is newly in the 10th week of pregnancy, to browse the "notebooks from the 10th to 12th week of pregnancy" of the user A, so that the other user can use the device 100. It is possible to encourage the user A to confirm the information of the 10th to 12th weeks with similar attributes. As a result, the providing device 100 can provide appropriate contents including behavioral information and experience stories that are necessary or interesting for other users in the 10th to 12th weeks. Therefore, the providing device 100 can reduce the man-hours for investigating, searching, obtaining, and selecting the contents and information that the user needs or is interested in in the 10th to 12th weeks.
