Description

The present invention relates to an information processing device and the like.

Companies that adjust the ingredients of cosmetics receive feedback on cosmetics and reflect it in the adjustment of ingredients in order to meet the needs of users, distributors, etc. (hereinafter, simply users). Cosmetic feedback includes sensory evaluation of cosmetics. For example, the sensory evaluation of cosmetics includes a feeling of bleeding, a feeling of close contact, a feeling of refreshing, a feeling of moistness, a feeling of elasticity, a feeling of persistence, and the like.

Workers of a company that adjusts the ingredients of cosmetics are improving cosmetics by selecting raw materials to be blended in cosmetics so as to approach sensory evaluation. For example, when a user wants a more bleeding feeling in a sensory evaluation, the worker considers the formulation of a raw material that enhances the bleeding feeling.

There are individual differences in the feeling of use of cosmetics by users, and cosmetics whose ingredients have been adjusted based on the sensory evaluation of cosmetics fed back from one user may not always suit the tastes of other users. For example, the sensory evaluation differs depending on the age of the user, the skin type, and the like. For this reason, it has been difficult to manufacture cosmetics that meet the needs of a plurality of users unless the ingredients are repeatedly adjusted by repeatedly interacting with a plurality of users.

In one aspect, the present invention provides an information processing device, an information processing method, and an information processing program capable of adjusting the ingredients of cosmetics according to the needs of a plurality of users based on feedback from users. The purpose is to do.

In the first plan, the information processing device has a reception unit, a correction unit, and an adjustment unit. The reception department receives the user's sensory evaluation information for the object. The correction unit generates correction evaluation information obtained by correcting the sensory evaluation information based on the correction information corresponding to the characteristics of the user. The coordinating unit searches for raw materials that meet the requirements of the correction evaluation information, and decides to add the searched raw materials to the raw materials to be blended in the object.

Based on the feedback from users, it is possible to adjust the ingredients of cosmetics to meet the needs of multiple users.

Hereinafter, examples of the information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing program disclosed in the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a system according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, this system includes user terminals 10a and 10b, a worker terminal 15, and an information processing device 100. The user terminals 10a and 10b are interconnected with the information processing device 100 via the network 50. The worker terminal 15 is interconnected with the information processing device 100 via the network 50.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, user terminals 10a and 10b and worker terminals 15 are shown, but this system may have other user terminals and other worker terminals.

In this embodiment, cosmetics will be used as an example of the "object" for adjusting the components, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is intended to be components of pharmaceuticals, medical products, fragrances, and the like. The same applies when making adjustments.

The user terminals 10a and 10b are terminal devices used by users who perform sensory evaluation of cosmetics, and correspond to PCs (Personal Computers), notebook PCs, tablet terminals, and the like. In the following description, the user terminals 10a and 10b are collectively referred to as "user terminal 10" as appropriate.

The user operates the user terminal 10, inputs the result of the sensory evaluation to the user terminal 10, and transmits the sensory evaluation information to the information processing device 100. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a data structure of sensory evaluation information. As shown in FIG. 2, the sensory evaluation information includes a prescription number, an affiliation, a feature (profile), and a sensory evaluation.

The prescription number is information that uniquely identifies the cosmetic product. The affiliation is information for distinguishing whether the user has performed the sensory evaluation of cosmetics as an individual or the sensory evaluation of cosmetics as a representative of a certain distributor. When the affiliation is "individual", it indicates that the user has performed a sensory evaluation of cosmetics as an individual. When the identification information of the seller is set in the affiliation, it indicates that the user has performed the sensory evaluation of the cosmetics as the person in charge of the seller. In the following description, the seller identification information is referred to as "seller identification information". A distributor is an example of a "group" to which a user belongs.

The feature shows the profile of the user. Features include age, gender, and skin type of the user. The sensory evaluation includes each evaluation item of bleeding feeling, close contact feeling, refreshing feeling, elasticity feeling, moist feeling feeling, and sustaining feeling, and numerical values are associated with each other. The larger the numerical value, the more the user gives the sensuality corresponding to the evaluation item. On the other hand, the smaller the numerical value, the more difficult it is for the user to give sensuality to the evaluation item.

The user specifies the sensuality required for cosmetics numerically. For example, when the user wants to strengthen the bleeding feeling, he / she sets a large value of the bleeding feeling. On the other hand, if you want to weaken the bleeding feeling, set the bleeding feeling value to a small value.

The worker terminal 15 is a terminal device used by a worker who adjusts the components of cosmetics, and corresponds to a PC, a notebook PC, a tablet terminal, and the like. When adjusting the components of cosmetics, the worker operates the worker terminal 15 to access the information processing device 100. For example, the information of the prescription number of the cosmetic product to be adjusted is transmitted to the information processing device 100.

When the information processing device 100 receives the sensory evaluation information from the user terminal 10, the information processing device 100 corrects the numerical value of the sensory evaluation included in the sensory evaluation information based on the correction information corresponding to the characteristics of the user. The information processing device 100 searches for a raw material that satisfies the corrected sensory evaluation requirement, and notifies the worker terminal 15 of the information of the search result. The information processing device 100 adds raw materials to cosmetics in response to an instruction from the worker terminal 15.

As described above, the information processing apparatus 100 corrects the sensory evaluation of the user by the correction information according to the characteristics of the user, and blends the raw material satisfying the corrected sensory evaluation requirement into the cosmetic to be adjusted. decide. As a result, it is possible to adjust the ingredients of cosmetics to meet the needs of a plurality of users without being biased toward the tastes of some users.

Next, an example of the configuration of the information processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, the information processing device 100 includes a communication unit 110, an input unit 120, a display unit 130, a storage unit 140, and a control unit 150.

The communication unit 110 is a processing unit that executes data communication with the user terminal 10 and the worker terminal 15 via the network 50. The control unit 150, which will be described later, exchanges data with the user terminal 10 and the worker terminal 15 via the communication unit 110. The communication unit 110 is an example of a communication device.

The input unit 120 is an input device for inputting various information to the control unit 150 of the information processing device 100. The input unit 120 corresponds to, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, or the like. The worker may operate the input unit 120 to input information regarding the adjustment of the ingredients of the cosmetic product.

The display unit 130 is a display device that displays information output from the control unit 150. The display unit 130 corresponds to, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, a touch panel, or the like.

The storage unit 140 has a raw material DB (Data Base) 141, a reference sensory evaluation table 142, an evaluation result table 143, an individual correction table 144, a distributor correction table 145, and an adjustment result table 146. The storage unit 140 corresponds to semiconductor memory elements such as RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), and flash memory (Flash Memory), and storage devices such as HDD (Hard Disk Drive).

The raw material DB 141 is a DB that holds various information regarding raw materials for cosmetics. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the raw material DB. As shown in FIG. 4, the raw material DB 141 has a raw material name, a manufacturer name, a pH, an appearance, a solubility, and a sensory evaluation.

The raw material name indicates the name of the raw material. In this embodiment, the raw material name is also used as information for uniquely identifying the raw material. The manufacturer name indicates the name of the manufacturer that manufactures the raw material. The pH indicates whether the raw material is acidic or alkaline. The appearance indicates whether the raw material is a powder (solid), a liquid, or another appearance. Solubility indicates whether or not the raw material is well soluble in water.

The sensory evaluation includes each evaluation item of bleeding feeling, close contact feeling, refreshing feeling, elasticity feeling, moist feeling feeling, and sustaining feeling. Here, in the sensory evaluation of the raw material DB 141, the degree of influence on each evaluation item when the corresponding raw material is blended in cosmetics is shown numerically. The larger the numerical value, the more the user gives the sensuality corresponding to the evaluation item. On the other hand, the smaller the numerical value, the more difficult it is for the user to give sensuality to the evaluation item. For the evaluation item whose numerical value is "0", it is shown that the corresponding sensuality is not changed.

For example, in the raw material 1A of FIG. 4, the "bleeding feeling" of the sensory evaluation is "1", the "adhesion feeling" is "0.5", the refreshing feeling is "0", the elasticity feeling is "0", and the moist feeling is " "0", the sense of persistence is "0". Therefore, by blending the raw material 1A into cosmetics, a bleeding feeling having a numerical value of "1" and a close contact feeling having a numerical value of "0.5" are given.

The reference sensory evaluation table 142 is a table that holds information on the sensory evaluation that serves as a reference for each cosmetic product. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the reference sensory evaluation table. As shown in FIG. 5, the reference sensory evaluation table 142 has a prescription number, a basic blending order, and a reference sensory evaluation. The prescription number is information that uniquely identifies the cosmetic product. The basic blending order indicates the raw materials to be blended in cosmetics and the blending order that is the base of each raw material to be blended.

The standard sensory evaluation is a preset sensory evaluation for the cosmetic product corresponding to the prescription number. The cosmetic product corresponding to the prescription number contains a plurality of raw materials so as to meet the requirements of such a standard sensory evaluation.

The evaluation result table 143 is a table that stores a plurality of sensory evaluation result information transmitted from the user terminal 10. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the evaluation result table. As shown in FIG. 6, this evaluation result table 143 has a prescription number, affiliation, characteristics, and sensory evaluation. The description of the prescription number, affiliation, characteristics, and sensory evaluation is the same as the description given in FIG.

The personal correction table 144 is a table that holds correction information for correcting the sensory evaluation of the user. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the personal correction table. As shown in FIG. 7, the personal correction table 144 associates the feature with the correction information. The feature shows the profile of the user. Features include age, gender, and skin type of the user.

The correction information includes correction coefficients α, β, γ, δ, ε, and ζ for the bleeding feeling, the close contact feeling, the refreshing feeling, the elasticity feeling, the moist feeling, and the sustaining feeling, respectively. For example, the correction information corresponding to the feature <age "teen", gender "female", skin quality "skin quality (1)"> is "α (1) -1, β (1) -1, γ (1). ) -1, δ (1) -1, ε (1) -1, ζ (1) -1 ”.

For example, if the user of the corresponding feature tends to determine the numerical value of a certain evaluation item larger than the user of the other feature (overestimation tendency), the corresponding correction coefficient is set to 1. Set to a value less than (but greater than 0). On the other hand, if the user of the corresponding feature tends to determine the numerical value of a certain evaluation item smaller than the user of the other feature (underestimation tendency), the corresponding correction coefficient is set to 1. Set to the above value.

Here, the relationship between the sensory evaluation before the correction and the sensory evaluation after the correction will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the relationship between the sensory evaluation before the correction and the sensory evaluation city after the correction. For example, the correction information is the correction information 70A, and the sensory evaluation before the correction is the sensory evaluation 70B. The sensory evaluation 70B includes <bleeding feeling "X1", close contact feeling "X2", refreshing feeling "X3", elasticity feeling "X4", moist feeling "X5", and lasting feeling "X6">.

The corrected sensory evaluation 70C is calculated by correcting the sensory evaluation 70B with the correction information 70A. For example, the corrected sensory evaluation 70C is calculated by multiplying the numerical value of each evaluation item of the sensory evaluation 70B by the corresponding correction coefficient.

Returning to the description of FIG. The seller correction table 145 is a table that holds correction information for correcting the sensory evaluation of the seller. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the distributor correction table. As shown in FIG. 9, this seller correction table associates the seller identification information with the correction information. The seller identification information is information that uniquely identifies the seller to which the user belongs.

The correction information includes correction coefficients α, β, γ, δ, ε, and ζ for the bleeding feeling, the close contact feeling, the refreshing feeling, the elasticity feeling, the moist feeling, and the sustaining feeling, respectively. For example, the correction information corresponding to the seller identification information "B101" is "α-X1, β-X1, γ-X1, δ-X1, ε-X1, ζ-X1". Each correction coefficient included in the correction information is preset according to the seller.

Returning to the description of FIG. The control unit 150 includes a reception unit 151, a correction unit 152, and an adjustment unit 153. The control unit 150 can be realized by a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), or the like. The control unit 150 can also be realized by hard-wired logic such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

The reception unit 151 is a processing unit that receives sensory evaluation information from the user terminal 10. The reception unit 151 stores the sensory evaluation information in the evaluation result table 143.

The correction unit 152 is a processing unit that corrects the sensory evaluation by the user based on the correction information corresponding to the characteristics of the user. Hereinafter, an example of the processing of the correction unit 152 will be described.

When the correction unit 152 receives the access from the worker terminal 15 and receives the information of the prescription number, the correction unit 152 generates the screen information shown in FIG. 10 and displays it on the worker terminal 15. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of screen information generated by the correction unit. The screen information 30 shown in FIG. 10 includes an area 30A, a table 30B, an adjustment panel 30C, and a decision button 31.

The area 30A is an area for displaying the prescription number received from the worker terminal 15. In the following description, the prescription number received from the worker terminal 15 is referred to as a “target prescription number”.

Table 30B associates the evaluation items with the reference sensory evaluation and the corrected sensory evaluation. The evaluation items are evaluation items included in the sensory evaluation, and include a bleeding feeling, a close contact feeling, a refreshing feeling, an elasticity feeling, a moist feeling, and a lasting feeling.

The reference sensory evaluation indicates the numerical value of the current sensory evaluation (provisional sensory evaluation) corresponding to the target prescription number. The correction unit 152 compares the target prescription number with the standard sensory evaluation table 142, and acquires the standard sensory evaluation corresponding to the target prescription number. The correction unit 152 sets each value of the acquired reference sensory evaluation in the reference sensory evaluation of the table 30B.

The corrected sensory evaluation is a sensory evaluation in which the sensory evaluation by the user is corrected. The correction unit 152 executes the following processing to calculate the numerical value of the correction sensory evaluation. The correction unit 152 compares the target prescription number with the evaluation result table 143 and searches for the attribute, feature, profile, and sensory evaluation corresponding to the target prescription number. The feature corresponding to the target prescription number is referred to as "target feature". The sensory evaluation corresponding to the target prescription number is referred to as "target sensory evaluation".

The case where the affiliation is "individual" will be described. The correction unit 152 compares the target feature with the personal correction table 144, and acquires correction information corresponding to the target feature. The correction unit 152 calculates the correction sensory evaluation by multiplying each numerical value of the target sensory evaluation and each correction coefficient of the correction information. For example, the correction unit 152 multiplies each numerical value of the target sensory evaluation and each correction coefficient of the correction information, as described with reference to FIG. The correction unit 152 may truncate after the decimal point in each numerical value of the correction sensory evaluation. The correction unit 152 sets each numerical value of the calculated correction sensory evaluation in the correction sensory evaluation of the table 30B.

The case where the affiliation is "seller identification information" will be described. The correction unit 152 compares the seller identification information with the seller correction table 145, and acquires the correction information corresponding to the seller identification information. The correction unit 152 calculates the correction sensory evaluation by multiplying each numerical value of the target sensory evaluation and each correction coefficient of the correction information. For example, the correction unit 152 may truncate after the decimal point in each numerical value of the correction sensory evaluation. The correction unit 152 sets each numerical value of the calculated correction sensory evaluation in the correction sensory evaluation of the table 30B.

The adjustment panel 30C is used when adjusting the reference sensory evaluation of each evaluation item. The correction unit 152 sets a value obtained by subtracting the value of the correction sensory evaluation from the value of the reference sensory evaluation value as the adjustment value of the adjustment panel 30C. For example, since the bleeding feeling of the reference sensory evaluation is “5” and the bleeding feeling of the corrected sensory evaluation is “6”, the adjustment value corresponding to the bleeding feeling is “+1”. Since the moist feeling of the reference sensory evaluation is "2" and the moist feeling of the corrected sensory evaluation is "3", the adjustment value corresponding to the bleeding feeling is "+1". The correction unit 152 does not set the adjustment value when the difference is "0".

The worker may operate the worker terminal 15 to press the plus button or the minus button of the adjustment panel 30C of the screen information 30 to adjust the adjustment value. Workers may also set priorities. The evaluation item with the higher priority is prioritized and the sensory evaluation is adjusted. In the example shown in FIG. 10, since the priority of the bleeding feeling is “1” and the priority of the moist feeling is “2”, the adjustment of the sensory evaluation of the bleeding feeling is prioritized.

When the setting of the adjustment panel 30C is completed, the worker operates the worker terminal 15 and presses the enter button. When the correction unit 152 receives the press of the decision button 31, the correction unit 152 outputs the information of the screen information 30 to the adjustment unit 153.

The adjusting unit 153 is a processing unit that searches for raw materials that satisfy the requirements for corrected sensory evaluation and determines to add the searched raw materials to the raw materials to be blended in cosmetics. Hereinafter, an example of the processing of the adjusting unit 153 will be described.

When the adjustment unit 153 receives the information of the screen information 30 from the correction unit 152, the adjustment unit 153 generates screen information for selecting the additional target raw material shown in FIG. 11 based on the adjustment value corresponding to the evaluation item. It is displayed on the worker terminal 15.

For example, when the set value corresponding to a certain evaluation item is "+ N", the adjustment unit 153 searches the raw material DB 141 for a raw material whose numerical value corresponding to a certain evaluation item is "+ N". The searched raw materials to be added correspond to the raw materials to be added. Further, the adjusting unit 153 determines if there is a raw material whose numerical value corresponding to a certain evaluation item is "+ N" by deleting the raw material included in the basic blending order corresponding to the target prescription number. The raw material may be specified as the raw material to be deleted.

FIG. 11 is a diagram (1) showing an example of screen information generated by the adjusting unit. As shown in FIG. 11, the screen information 38 has tables 38A, 38B, 38C, 38D and a decision button 39. Here, tables 38A to 38D are shown as an example, but other tables may be included.

Table 38A is a table showing raw materials whose bleeding feeling increases when the raw material is used as an additional target raw material. Table 38A associates the additional flag with the raw material name and the manufacturer name. The additional flag is a flag indicating whether or not to add the corresponding raw material (raw material with the raw material name). When adding the corresponding raw material, the worker sets the additional flag to "on". On the other hand, the worker sets the addition flag to "off" when he / she does not add the corresponding raw material.

For example, the adjusting unit 153 compares the target prescription number with the reference sensory evaluation table 142 to specify the basic blending order corresponding to the target prescription number. The adjusting unit 153 scans the raw material DB 141 and searches for the raw material names of the raw materials (raw material names) that are not included in the specified reference blending order and which add a bleeding feeling set to the adjustment value of the adjusting panel 30C. Then, it is set to the raw material name of the table 38A.

Table 38B is a table showing raw materials whose bleeding feeling increases when they are used as raw materials to be deleted. Table 38B associates the deletion flag with the raw material name and the manufacturer name. The deletion flag is a flag indicating whether or not to delete the corresponding raw material. When deleting the corresponding raw material, the worker sets the deletion flag to "on". On the other hand, if the worker does not delete the corresponding raw material, the deletion flag is set to "off".

For example, the adjusting unit 153 compares the target prescription number with the reference sensory evaluation table 142 to specify the basic blending order corresponding to the target prescription number. The adjustment unit 153 searches for the raw material name of the raw material that adds the bleeding feeling set to the adjustment value of the adjustment panel 30C by deleting the raw material name based on the specified basic blending order and the raw material DB 141. Set to the raw material name of table 38B. Depending on the raw material, there are some that have a negative bleeding feeling.

Table 38C is a table showing raw materials whose moist feeling increases when they are used as additional target raw materials. Table 38C associates the additional flag with the raw material name and the manufacturer name. The description of the additional flag is the same as the description of the additional flag described above.

For example, the adjusting unit 153 compares the target prescription number with the reference sensory evaluation table 142 to specify the basic blending order corresponding to the target prescription number. The adjusting unit 153 scans the raw material DB 141 and searches for the raw material names of the raw materials (raw material names) that are not included in the specified reference blending order and which add a moist feeling set to the adjustment value of the adjusting panel 30C. Then, it is set to the raw material name of the table 38C.

Table 38D is a table showing raw materials whose moist feeling increases when they are used as raw materials to be deleted. Table 38D associates the deletion flag with the raw material name and the manufacturer name. The description of the delete flag is the same as the description of the delete flag described above.

For example, the adjusting unit 153 compares the target prescription number with the reference sensory evaluation table 142 to specify the basic blending order corresponding to the target prescription number. The adjustment unit 153 searches for the raw material name of the raw material that adds a moist feeling set to the adjustment value of the adjustment panel 30C by deleting the raw material name of the specified basic blending order and the raw material DB 141. Set to the raw material name of table 38B. Depending on the raw material, there are some that have a negative bleeding feeling.

The worker refers to the screen information 38 and operates the worker terminal 15 to set the addition flag and the deletion flag of the tables 38A to 38D to on or off. The worker presses the enter button 39 when the on or off setting is completed.

Here, when the raw material satisfying the adjustment value corresponding to each evaluation item does not exist, the adjusting unit 153 may search the raw material from the raw material DB according to the priority. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 10, the priority of the bleeding feeling is higher than the priority of the moist feeling. Therefore, when there is no raw material capable of giving a bleeding feeling of "+1" and a moist feeling of "+1", the adjusting unit 153 uses at least a raw material capable of bringing the bleeding feeling closer to "+1". You may search from DB 141.

In the example shown in FIG. 11, the tables 38A and 38B corresponding to the bleeding feeling and the tables 38C and 38D corresponding to the moist feeling are shown, but other evaluation items (adhesion feeling, refreshing feeling, elasticity feeling, and sustaining feeling) are supported. The table to be used may be included in the screen information 38.

Upon receiving the press of the enter button 39, the adjustment unit 153 generates screen information as shown in FIG. 12 based on the setting results of the tables 38A to 38D, and displays the generated screen information on the worker terminal 15. Let me. FIG. 12 is a diagram (2) showing an example of screen information generated by the adjusting unit. The screen information 40 shown in FIG. 12 includes areas 40A and 40B, a table 40C, and a registration button 41.

The area 40A is an area for displaying the target prescription number designated by the worker. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the target prescription number “A-BC01” is set in the area 40A.

The area 40B is an area for setting information on the blending order as a result of adding the additional target raw material and deleting the deleted target raw material with respect to the basic blending order corresponding to the target prescription number. The raw material to be added and the raw material to be deleted are designated in the screen information 38 shown in FIG.

Table 40C has an evaluation item, a sensory evaluation, and a corrected sensory evaluation. The description of the evaluation items is the same as the above description. The sensory evaluation is a sensory evaluation in which the values of each evaluation item of the raw materials in the blending order shown in the region 40B are totaled. The corrected sensory evaluation corresponds to the corrected sensory evaluation described with reference to FIG.

The registration button 41 is a button pressed by the worker when it is determined that the adjustment of the ingredients of the cosmetic corresponding to the target prescription number is completed. When the registration button 41 is pressed, the adjustment unit 153 registers the target prescription number and the information on the arrangement order of the raw materials displayed in the area 40B in the adjustment result table 146.

Next, an example of the processing procedure of the information processing apparatus according to this embodiment will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 13, the reception unit 151 of the information processing device 100 receives the sensory evaluation information from the user terminal 10 and stores it in the evaluation result table 143 (step S101).

The correction unit 152 of the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the basic sensory evaluation corresponding to the target prescription number from the reference sensory evaluation table 142 (step S102). The correction unit 152 identifies the correction information corresponding to the characteristics of the user or the seller (step S103). In step S103, when the affiliation included in the sensory evaluation information is "individual", the correction unit 152 specifies the correction information corresponding to the characteristics of the user based on the personal correction table 144. When the "seller identification information" is set for the affiliation included in the sensory evaluation information, the correction unit 152 identifies the correction information corresponding to the seller identification information based on the seller correction table 145. To do.

The correction unit 152 corrects the sensory evaluation based on the correction information and generates the corrected sensory evaluation (step S104). The correction unit 152 sets the adjustment value of the adjustment panel 30C based on the difference between the basic sensory evaluation and the correction sensory evaluation (step S105).

The adjustment unit 153 generates the screen information 30 and displays it on the worker terminal 15 (step S106). When the decision button 31 of the screen information 30 is pressed by the worker, the adjusting unit 153 identifies candidates for the raw material to be added and the raw material to be deleted based on the adjusted value and the raw material DB 141 (step S107). ..

The adjustment unit 153 generates screen information 30 for selecting the raw material to be added and the raw material to be deleted, and displays the screen information 30 on the worker terminal 15 (step S108). The adjusting unit 153 accepts selection of the raw material to be added and the raw material to be deleted (step S109).

The adjusting unit 153 updates the blending order by adding the additional target raw material to the basic blending order corresponding to the target prescription number and deleting the deletion target raw material (step S110). When the registration button 41 is pressed, the adjustment unit 153 stores the target prescription number and the updated blending order in the adjustment result table 146 (step S111).

Next, the effect of the information processing apparatus 100 according to this embodiment will be described.

The information processing device 100 adds or deletes raw materials to cosmetics in response to an instruction from the worker terminal 15.

As described above, the information processing apparatus 100 corrects the sensory evaluation of the user by the correction information according to the characteristics of the user, and blends the raw material satisfying the corrected sensory evaluation requirement into the cosmetic to be adjusted. decide. As a result, it is possible to adjust the ingredients of cosmetics to meet the needs of a plurality of users without being biased toward the tastes of some users.

The information processing device 100 corrects the sensory evaluation of the user based on the correction information according to the distributor to which the user belongs, and decides to blend the raw material satisfying the requirements of the corrected sensory evaluation into the cosmetics to be adjusted. To do. This makes it possible to adjust the ingredients of the cosmetic product according to the distributor.

The information processing apparatus 100 identifies the difference between the reference sensory evaluation information and the correction evaluation information, and searches the raw material DB 141 for a raw material that compensates for the specified difference. This makes it possible to search for raw materials for adjusting the ingredients of cosmetics that meet the needs of users.

By the way, the processing of the information processing apparatus 100 described above is an example, and other processing may be executed. The correction unit 152 of the information processing device 100 corrects the sensory evaluation by using the correction information corresponding to the characteristics of the user or the correction information corresponding to the seller to which the user belongs, but the present invention is limited to this. It is not something that is done. The correction unit 152 holds correction information for each season (spring, summer, autumn, and winter), and the sensory evaluation may be corrected by the correction information corresponding to the season. For example, when the season is summer, the correction coefficient for moist feeling is reduced, and when the season is winter, the correction coefficient for moist feeling is increased.

The correction unit 152 of the information processing apparatus 100 may correct the sensory evaluation by using the correction information corresponding to the characteristics of the user, the correction information corresponding to the seller, and the correction information of the season in combination.

In this embodiment, the seller is used as an example of the group to which the user belongs, but the present embodiment is not limited to this. Any group may be classified by region, school, other company, group, organization, etc.

Next, an example of a computer hardware configuration that realizes the same functions as the information processing apparatus 100 shown in this embodiment will be described.
