(Embodiment)
1. Information Processing According to the Embodiment
1-1. Example of information processing according to the embodiment
First, an example of information processing according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of information processing according to the embodiment. Fig. 1 shows an example in which information processing according to the embodiment is executed by an information processing device 100 and a user terminal 200. Below, the example of information processing according to the embodiment will be described step by step.

First, the information processing device 100 acquires goal information indicating the user's goal (step S1). For example, the information processing device 100 displays an input screen for goal information indicating the user's goal on the user terminal 200, and acquires the goal information received from the user from the user terminal 200. In this case, the goal information from the user on the user terminal 200 may be received in a selection format in which the user's goal is selected from a number of options, or in a text input format in which information expressing the user's goal in text is input. Note that the goal information here is information that indicates the user's goal, and may be, for example, "Start a business in China by age 30" or "Save 1 million yen and take a graduation trip to Okinawa."

Next, the information processing device 100 extracts task information based on the goal information (step S2). For example, the information processing device 100 may extract task information indicating a task for achieving the goal represented by the goal information by reading out the task linked to the goal information received from the user terminal 200 from the task information storage unit 121 described later. In this case, the task information storage unit 121 stores a plurality of tasks for achieving the goal linked to each piece of goal information. The task information storage unit 121 may store tasks for achieving the goal linked to the goal by analyzing the user's behavior when the user achieved the goal in the past. For example, to explain this process using a specific example, if the goal indicated by the goal information is "to start a business in China by the age of 30," tasks such as "passing the Chinese Language Proficiency Test Level 3" and "studying in China" may be extracted as tasks for achieving the goal. Note that FIG. 1 shows that the information processing device 100 has extracted tasks A, B, and C for the goal information.

Next, the information processing device 100 identifies advertising information related to products and services that contribute to the achievement of the task (step S3). For example, the information processing device 100 identifies advertising information indicating advertisements related to products or services that contribute to the achievement of the extracted task information by reading out advertising information stored in the advertising information storage unit 123 described later, which is linked to the task indicated by the extracted task information as a related task. Note that advertising information indicating advertisements for products and services that contribute to the achievement of a task indicated by one related task information may be linked and stored in the advertising information storage unit 123 in a plurality of pieces, so that multiple pieces of advertising information may be identified for one task information. FIG. 1 shows that advertising information A-1, B-1, and C-1 have been identified as examples for tasks A, B, and C extracted by the information processing device 100 in step S2, respectively.

Next, the information processing device 100 determines the selection of tasks, the order of tasks, and the time when the tasks are to be completed in response to the user's request (step S4). For example, the information processing device 100 may display an input screen for receiving the user's request on the user terminal 200, and receive request information indicating the user's request regarding the achievement of the goal. For example, if the user U inputs as the request information that the period until the goal is achieved is two years, the information processing device 100 determines the order of tasks and the time when the tasks are to be completed in order to achieve the goal within the two years. For example, if the user U inputs as the request information that the cost required to achieve the goal is 500,000 yen, the information processing device 100 selects tasks from the task information extracted in step S2 so that the cost required to achieve the goal is 500,000 yen or less.

In this case, the information processing device 100 displays the information shown in FIG. 2 on the user terminal 200. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of information that the planning unit of the information processing device according to the embodiment displays on the user terminal. That is, the information processing device 100 may display an interaction screen between the user U and the chatbot on the user terminal 200 as shown in FIG. 2, receive request information UC1 and UC2 from the user U, and display response information CC1, CC2, CC3, and CC4 from the chatbot in response to the request information, thereby determining the selection of tasks, the order of tasks, and the time of accomplishment of the tasks. In FIG. 2, the user U inputs the message "I want to have language skills to work in China" and the message "How can I obtain them before graduating from university?" as request information UC1 and UC2, respectively, and the chatbot displays the response information CC1, CC2, CC3, and CC4 shown in FIG. 2 in response to the message, proposing the conclusion of "aiming to pass the Chinese Language Proficiency Test Level 3."

Next, the information processing device 100 provides the task information to the user terminal 200 of the user U (step S5). For example, the information processing device 100 provides the task information to the user terminal 200 of the user U along with the determined order of tasks and the time of task completion in a timeline format showing the task information in chronological order. For example, to explain this process using a specific example, assume that when the goal information is "Start a business in China by age 30", "Pass the Chinese Language Proficiency Test Level 3" and "Study in China" are extracted as task information. Then, the selection of tasks, the order of tasks, and the time of task completion are determined according to the user's request, and it is determined that "Pass the Chinese Language Proficiency Test Level 3" is to be completed on April 1, 2023, and "Study in China" is to be completed on April 1, 2023.

In this case, the information processing device 100 displays information in the form shown in FIG. 3 on the user terminal 200. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of information that the providing unit of the information processing device according to the embodiment displays on the user terminal. The information processing device 100 provides task information to the user terminal 200 in a timeline format as shown in FIG. 3, so that the task information is displayed in a form showing the time of task completion together with the time of task completion. In FIG. 3, a line message LM1 indicating that the user started studying Chinese at the past point in time on January 1, 2022, a line message LM2 indicating that the user is currently attempting the Chinese Language Proficiency Test Level 3 and has progressed 75% in learning at the present point in time on July 1, 2022, and a line message LM3 indicating that the user will "study in China" at the future point in time on April 1, 2023 are displayed in a timeline format. Note that FIG. 3 shows that an advertising message CM1 showing an advertisement for a product or service that contributes to the completion of the task is displayed in association with the line message LM2. Furthermore, the advertising message CM1 may be an advertisement for a product or service that contributes to the achievement of the task of "Pass the Chinese Language Proficiency Test Level 3." For example, data on products and services used by a user who has previously completed the task may be analyzed, and products and services that contribute to the achievement of the task may be identified, such as products and services C1, C2, and C3 shown in FIG. 3, and displayed as advertising message CM1 showing advertisements for products and services C1, C2, and C3. In this way, the information processing device 100 may link advertisements for products and services that contribute to the achievement of the task to task information and display them on the user terminal 200.

This makes it possible to identify tasks for achieving a user's goals and provide the user with advertising information about products and services that contribute to achieving those tasks. As a result, it is possible to provide an information processing device 100 that can accurately support the user in achieving their goals.

1-2. First Another Example of Information Processing According to the Embodiment
The information processing device 100 identifies, as advertisement information, advertisements for products or services that have been used at a predetermined rate or higher by completers of a task indicated by task information.

This information processing will be explained step by step. First, the information processing device 100 executes the same processing as steps S1 to S2 shown in FIG. 1. The processing from steps S1 to S2 is the same as the processing described above, so the explanation will be omitted.

Next, the information processing device 100 identifies advertising information related to products and services that contribute to the achievement of the task (step S3-1). In this case, the information processing device 100 identifies, as advertising information, advertisements related to products or services that are used by the accomplishers of the task indicated by the task information at a predetermined rate or higher. For example, the information processing device 100 reads out advertising information stored in the advertising information storage unit 123 in association with the task indicated by the task information extracted by the extraction unit 133 as a related task, and identifies advertising information indicating advertisements related to products or services that contribute to the achievement of the task information extracted by the extraction unit 133, and identifies multiple pieces of advertising information. In this case, the information processing device 100 refers to the usage history and achievement status information stored in association with the identified multiple pieces of advertising information, and identifies advertising information in which the rate of users who have accomplished the task indicated by the task information is a predetermined rate or higher (for example, 60% or higher) as advertising information related to products and services that contribute to the achievement of the task.

Next, the information processing device 100 executes the same process as steps S4 to S5 shown in FIG. 1. The process from step S4 to step S5 is the same as the process described above, so a description thereof will be omitted.

Based on the user's past task achievement records, it is possible to provide the user with advertising information regarding products and services that will definitely contribute to the achievement of tasks to achieve the user's goals. Therefore, it is possible to provide an information processing device 100 that can accurately support the user in achieving their goals.

1-3. Second Example of Information Processing According to the Embodiment
The information processing device 100 acquires task completion status information indicating information regarding the task completion status from the user's user terminal 200, and identifies advertising information regarding products or services that contribute to the completion of the task indicated by the task information, depending on the user's task completion status indicated by the task completion status information.

This information processing will be explained step by step. First, the information processing device 100 executes the same processing as steps S1 to S5 shown in FIG. 1. The processing from steps S1 to S5 is the same as the processing described above, so the explanation will be omitted.

Next, the information processing device 100 acquires task achievement status information indicating information related to the user's task achievement status from the user terminal 200 (step S6-1). For example, the information processing device 100 may acquire the task achievement status information from the user by displaying an input screen for task achievement status information indicating information related to the task achievement status on the user terminal 200. The task achievement status information may, for example, be information that indicates the degree of task achievement as a percentage, with 100% indicating complete task achievement.

Next, when the task achievement status information indicates that the user has completed the task, the information processing device 100 notifies the user U of a message congratulating the user U on completing the task (step S7-1). For example, when the task achievement status information acquired from the user terminal 200 indicates that the degree of task achievement is 100%, indicating the completion of the task, the information processing device 100 notifies the user terminal 200 of the user U of a message congratulating the user U on completing the task. To explain with a specific example, when the user's goal is "to start a business in China by age 30," and the task achievement status information regarding "passing the Chinese Language Proficiency Test Level 3" and "studying in China" extracted as tasks for achieving the goal indicates the completion of the task "passing the Chinese Language Proficiency Test Level 3," if the task is a task for preparation for "studying in China," the information processing device 100 causes the user terminal 200 to display information in the form shown in FIG. 4.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of information displayed on a user terminal by a notification unit of an information processing device according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the information processing device 100 notifies the user terminal 200 of a message indicating that preparations are complete for studying in China as a message congratulating the user on "passing the Chinese Language Proficiency Test Level 3". In FIG. 4, a message MS congratulating the user on preparations for studying in China, link information L1 relating to information to know before studying in China, and link information L2 to an EC (Electronic Commerce) site where necessary items for studying in China can be purchased are displayed. In this way, the information processing device 100 may display on the user terminal 200 an advertisement for a product or service related to the goal indicated by the goal information linked to the task, together with a message congratulating the user U on completing the task.

Next, the information processing device 100 identifies advertising information related to products or services that contribute to the achievement of the task indicated by the task information according to the achievement status of the task of the user indicated by the task achievement status information (step S8-1). For example, the information processing device 100 reads out advertising information stored in the advertising information storage unit 123 in association with the task indicated by the task information extracted by the extraction unit 133 as a related task, and identifies advertising information indicating advertisements related to products or services that contribute to the achievement of the task indicated by the extracted task information, and identifies multiple pieces of advertising information. In this case, the information processing device 100, for example, refers to the usage history and achievement status information stored in association with the identified multiple pieces of advertising information, and identifies advertising information in which the percentage of users who have achieved the task indicated by the task information is a predetermined percentage or more (for example, 60% or more) as advertising information related to products or services that contribute to the achievement of the task.

Next, the information processing device 100 provides the identified advertising information to the user terminal 200 of the user according to the user's task completion status (step S9-1). For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the advertising information identified in step S8-1 may be provided in a manner that displays the advertising information in a timeline format in association with the task information. Alternatively, the information processing device 100 may provide the identified advertising information in a manner that displays the task completion status acquired in step S6 and indicates that the advertising information is related to products/services according to the task completion status, without using the timeline format.

This makes it possible to notify the user of a message congratulating them on completing a task, depending on the progress of the task to achieve the user's goal. This can encourage the user to complete the task, and help the user to take steps toward completing the task.

1-4. Third Example of Information Processing According to the Embodiment
The information processing device 100 forms a community with users who have the same goal as the user, and promotes the exchange of information about the goal between the users and interaction between the users.

This information processing will be explained step by step. First, the information processing device 100 executes the same processing as steps S1 to S5 shown in FIG. 1. The processing from steps S1 to S5 is the same as the processing described above, so the explanation will be omitted.

Next, the information processing device 100 provides a social network service that forms a community with users who have the same goal as the user U, and promotes information exchange and interaction between users regarding the goal (step S6-2). For example, the information processing device 100 may extract users who have the same goal as the user U from the user information storage unit 122 described later, form a community of users who have the same goal, and provide a social network service that promotes information exchange and interaction between users regarding the goal. For example, if the user's goal is to "start a business in China by age 30," the information processing device 100 extracts users who share the task of "passing the Chinese Language Proficiency Test Level 3," which has been extracted as a task for achieving the goal, and displays the information in the form shown in FIG. 5 on the user terminal 200.

Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of information displayed on a user terminal by the communication unit of the information processing device according to the embodiment. As shown in Figure 5, the information processing device 100 may provide a social network service in which a Chinese language study community M is formed by extracted users and an information exchange space SP1 in which users exchange information with each other, and an exchange promotion space SP2 in which exchanges between users are promoted, are displayed. Figure 5 shows that in the information exchange space SP1, users report their progress and encourage each other, and in the exchange promotion space SP2, announcements regarding events for users are displayed.

This makes it possible for users with the same goals to exchange information and promote interaction among themselves, allowing users to obtain useful information for achieving their goals and receive words of encouragement from other users to help them achieve their goals, thereby enabling them to maintain their motivation to achieve their goals.

2. Configuration of Information Processing System

(Regarding the identification unit 134)
The identification unit 134 identifies advertisement information indicating advertisements related to products or services that contribute to the achievement of the task indicated by the task information extracted by the extraction unit 133. For example, the identification unit 134 may identify advertisement information indicating advertisements related to products or services that contribute to the achievement of the task information extracted by the extraction unit 133 by reading out advertisement information stored in the advertisement information storage unit 123 in association with the task indicated by the task information extracted by the extraction unit 133 as a related task. Note that, since advertisement information indicating advertisements of products/services that contribute to the achievement of a task indicated by one related task information may be stored in the advertisement information storage unit 123 in association with a plurality of advertisements, a plurality of advertisements may be identified for one task information. When the identification unit 134 identifies advertisement information indicating advertisements related to products or services that contribute to the achievement of the task information extracted by the extraction unit 133, the identification unit 134 may cause the provision unit 136 to associate the identified advertisement information with the task information extracted by the extraction unit 133 and provide the same to the user terminal 200 in a timeline format.

The identification unit 134 identifies, as advertising information, advertisements related to products or services for which the percentage of users who have completed the task indicated by the task information is equal to or greater than a predetermined percentage. For example, the identification unit 134 reads out from the advertising information storage unit 123 advertising information stored in association with the task indicated by the task information extracted by the extraction unit 133 as a related task, and identifies advertising information indicating advertisements related to products or services that contribute to the completion of the task indicated by the task information extracted by the extraction unit 133, and identifies multiple pieces of advertising information. In this case, the identification unit 134 may refer to the usage history and achievement status information stored in association with the multiple pieces of advertising information identified, and identify advertising information for which the percentage of users who have completed the task indicated by the task information is equal to or greater than a predetermined percentage (for example, 60% or more) as advertising information related to products or services that contribute to the completion of the task.

The identification unit 134 identifies advertising information related to a product or service that contributes to the achievement of the task indicated by the task information according to the achievement status of the task of the user indicated by the task achievement status information. For example, the identification unit 134 reads out advertising information stored in the advertising information storage unit 123 in association with the task indicated by the task information extracted by the extraction unit 133 as a related task, and identifies advertising information indicating advertisements related to the product or service that contributes to the achievement of the task information extracted by the extraction unit 133, and a plurality of pieces of advertising information are identified. In this case, the identification unit 134 may refer to the usage history and achievement status information stored in association with the identified plurality of pieces of advertising information, and may identify, according to the achievement status of the task of the user indicated by the task achievement status information acquired by the second acquisition unit 132, advertising information in which the proportion of achievement status information indicating the achievement status of the task at the same stage as the achievement status of the task of the user is equal to or greater than a predetermined proportion (e.g., 30% or more) as advertising information related to the product or service that contributes to the achievement of the task.
