[Embodiment]
[1. Example of provision processing indicated by information processing device]
An example of the providing process executed by the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of provision processing executed by an information processing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment. In the example of FIG. 1, it is assumed that the pet is a dog and is a little overweight. In this case, the information processing apparatus 100 refers to the table TA1 and provides product information regarding side dishes based on the comparison between the calorie intake value and the theoretical value. A pet may be any animal that can be raised, for example, a pet may be a cat other than a dog.

First, as shown in FIG. 1, the information processing device 100 receives pet information from the terminal device 10 used by the user (step S1). For example, the information processing apparatus 100 receives, as pet information, attribute information about pet attributes and intake information about what the pet has ingested.

For example, the attribute information includes pet name, pet type, age, sex, weight, body conditioning score, and the like. For example, the ingestion information includes the date and time when the pet ingested food or drink, what the pet ate or drank, the amount of food eaten or drink, and the like.

For example, the information processing device 100 receives pet information from the terminal device 10 by providing content for inputting pet information to the terminal device 10 . To explain with a more specific example, the information processing apparatus 100 reads the pet name, pet type, age, gender, weight, and body conditioning score included in the content for inputting pet information. Attribute information of the pet information is received from the terminal device 10 by receiving an operation such as a user's input or selection with respect to such items.

In this case, the information processing apparatus 100 determines whether the dog is lean or obese based on the type, age, sex, weight, and body conditioning score of the pet. For example, the body type of a dog is classified and determined according to a 5-grade evaluation. For example, evaluation 1 is "thin". Evaluation 2 is "slightly thin". A rating of 3 is "standard". A rating of 4 is "slightly obese". Rating 5 is "obesity". Here, it is assumed that the information processing apparatus 100 determines that the dog is "slightly obese".

In addition, the information processing apparatus 100 accepts a user's operation on items such as the date and time the pet ingested food, the food eaten, and the amount eaten, which are included in the content for inputting pet information. Ingestion information of pet information is received from the terminal device 10 .

Subsequently, the information processing device 100 calculates the calorie intake value based on the pet information (step S2). For example, the information processing device 100 calculates the calorie intake value based on the intake information indicated by the pet information. To explain with a more specific example, the information processing apparatus 100 calculates the daily calorie intake based on the food and the amount of food that are associated with the date and time. Here, it is assumed that the information processing apparatus 100 calculates the daily calorie intake value as "630 [kcal/day]".

Then, the information processing device 100 selects product information based on the comparison between the calorie intake value and the theoretical value (step S3). For example, it is assumed that a theoretical value calculated based on the weight of the pet is calculated in advance for each of a plurality of weights. In this case, the information processing device 100 has a storage unit in which the body weight and the theoretical value are associated with each other. Here, the theoretical value is calculated using a predetermined calculation method based on the weight of the pet.

For example, as shown in Table TA1, when the body weight is "9 [kg]", the theoretical value is "680 [kcal/day]". Also, when the body weight is "10 [kg]", the theoretical value is "730 [kcal/day]". Also, when the body weight is "11 [kg]", the theoretical value is "780 [kcal/day]". Note that the theoretical values shown in Table TA1 are theoretical values for standard-sized dogs.

Here, since the dog raised by the user is "slightly obese", it is assumed that a value lower than the above theoretical value by a predetermined value is suitable. For example, when the body weight is "9 [kg]", the theoretical value of overweight is "630 [kcal/day]". Also, when the body weight is "10 [kg]", the theoretical value of overweight is "680 [kcal/day]". Also, when the weight is "11 [kg]", the theoretical value of being overweight is "730 [kcal/day]". Thus, the theoretical value of fatness is lower than the theoretical value for standard-sized dogs by "50 [kcal/day]". In the following, the processing using the theoretical value of fatness will be described.

Then, when the weight of the pet is "10 [kg]" and the calorie intake value is "630 [kcal/day]", the information processing apparatus 100 calculates the difference between the calorie intake value and the theoretical value of overweight. A side dish showing a calorie value of "50 [kcal/day]" corresponding to the difference is selected.

Subsequently, the information processing device 100 provides content including product information to the terminal device 10 (step S4). For example, the information processing device 100 provides the terminal device 10 with content including product information related to a side dish having a calorie value of “50 [kcal/day]”.

In the prior art, by acquiring the attribute information about the pet, the appropriate salary amount is calculated and proposed to the user. Therefore, there is room for providing more detailed pet-related information to the user. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment calculates the calorie value of the food ingested by the pet based on the pet information. Then, the information processing device 100 provides product information to the user based on the calorific value and the pet information. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 100 solves the conventional problem. In this way, the information processing apparatus 100 can propose products suitable for pets to the user.

In addition, the terminal device 10 receives from the user that the item for dinner is "Balance Y" and the intake is "60 [g]". In addition, the terminal device 10 accepts from the user that the snack product is "One-One Z" and the intake is "30 [g]". At this time, each item may be entered by the user as a character string or the like. Also, each item may be selected by the user from a pull-down menu.

The terminal device 10 also transmits pet information including the received intake information to the information processing device 100 . Then, the information processing apparatus 100 calculates the calorie intake value as "300 [kcal]" based on the received intake information (step S21). Note that step S21 corresponds to step S2 shown in FIG.

Then, the information processing device 100 provides the terminal device 10 with content including product information. In this case, the terminal device 10 displays content C2. In the example of FIG. 2, the content C2 includes a title such as "calorie calculation", an area AR1 showing the calculated calorie intake value, and an area AR2 where product information is arranged.

For example, in area AR1, "Today's calorie intake is 300 kcal", "XXX-chan's recommended calorie intake is 300 kcal", and "Try reducing the amount of snacks, or choose low-calorie snacks." .” includes information such as In this way, the area AR1 contains information on the calculated calorie intake and the remaining calorie intake that can be taken in a day. Also, the area AR1 includes a comment or the like according to the remaining intake calorie value that can be taken in a day.

For example, in area AR2, there are subheadings such as "recommended products", "Do not worry because domestic ingredients are used! You can choose from three textures!" ” and a button such as “Additional one-point advice!”. For example, link information such as "view product details of series" is information for transitioning to content including detailed product descriptions when pressed by the user. Further, a button such as "Further one-point advice!" is a button for transitioning to content including advice information for selecting a product when pressed by the user. Note that the content including advice information for selecting a product may include other product information such as product information with a low calorie intake value, in addition to the advice information for selecting a product.
