The information storage unit 22 stores various applications, and the information processing unit 21 executes various applications. For example, the information processing unit 21 can execute a Web browser, or execute a migration application program (migration AP) or a copy application program described later.

  The vital information management server 3 can be composed of a general-purpose computer or the like, and the vital information management server 3 includes an information processing unit 31, an information storage unit 32, and a communication unit 33. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the vital information management server 3 provides the vital information management service B. The position of the vital information management server 3 on the network is managed by the second access information (URL) related to the vital information management server 3, and can be accessed from various terminals by the second access information.

  For example, a user who desires the service of the vital information management service A accesses the vital information management server 1 (URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the vital information management server 1) via the terminal 2, and inputs the input unit of the terminal 2 The necessary information (ID, password, etc.) is entered through 25 to subscribe to the vital information management service A. For example, the user of the vital information management service A logs in through the input unit 25 of the terminal 2 based on the ID, password, etc., inputs vital information, and the communication unit 33 of the terminal 2 receives the input vital information. Transmit to the vital information management server 1. By repeating the input and transmission of vital information regularly or irregularly, the information storage unit 12 of the vital information management server 1 accumulates vital information associated with the ID.

  When transmitting the vital information, the terminal 2 transmits the vital information in association with the time information, and the vital information management server 1 manages the vital information associated with the time information. That is, the vital information management server 1 manages vital information in which an ID and time information are associated with each other. Note that the vital information management server 1 may store and manage vital information in the information storage unit 12 as described above, or accumulate and manage vital information in a storage device outside the vital information management server 1. May be.

  Further, the terminal 2 may automatically acquire vital information and automatically transmit the vital information to the vital information management server 1. For example, the terminal 2 may be provided with a vibration detection function for detecting vibrations, calculate the number of steps from the vibration detected by the vibration detection function, and periodically transmit information on the number of steps to the vital information management server 1.

  A user of the vital information management service A accesses the vital information management server 1 via the terminal 2, and the vital information management server 1 uses the graph display function of the vital information management server 1 and the Web browser function of the terminal 2. Images displayed based on the managed vital information can be viewed. The image displayed by the terminal 2 includes various displays such as a graph or a table. The user can know his / her physical condition from a graph or a table displayed on the terminal 2 and can use it for management.

  Next, the transition from the vital information management service A (migration source) to the vital information management server B (migration destination) among a plurality of vital information management services will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a migration sequence according to the embodiment. In the present embodiment, a case is described in which a service is migrated by a migration application (migration AP). However, the present invention can be similarly applied to a case where two or more services are used together by a predetermined application.

  For example, the vital information management service A provides information on the number of steps based on the accumulated vital information, but does not provide information on the calorie consumption, and the vital information management service B relates to the number of steps based on the accumulated vital information. When information about information and calories burned is provided, a transition from the vital information management service A to the vital information management server B can be considered.

  The vital information management service A provides information on the number of steps based on the accumulated vital information, but does not provide information on the calorie consumption, and the vital information management service B relates to the number of steps based on the accumulated vital information. When not providing information but providing information on calorie consumption, the combined use of the vital information management service A and the vital information management server B is conceivable.

  A user who wishes to transfer (or use) a service acquires (downloads) a transfer AP (or copy AP) via the terminal 2. For example, the migration information vital information management server 3 (migration destination server) may provide the migration AP, or the migration source vital information management server 1 (migration source server) may provide the migration AP. However, other servers may provide the migration AP. The terminal 2 accesses the migration AP provision server based on the URL of the migration AP provision server, and acquires the migration AP. For example, the terminal 2 accesses the vital information management server 3 based on the URL of the vital information management server 3 that is the migration AP providing server, and acquires the migration AP (ST101). Note that the terminal 2 may obtain the migration AP via a storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory or a memory card.

  For example, in the case where the migration-destination vital information management server 3 provides the migration AP, the migration AP supports the URL of the migration-destination vital information management server 3 and the vital information supported by the migration-destination vital information management server 3 Information regarding an information input format (for example, CSV) may be included. Thereby, the conversion of vital information, which will be described later, can be simplified, and the setting of the migration destination can also be simplified. In other words, in the case where the vital information management server 3 serving as the migration destination provides the migration AP, the designation of the conversion format and the setting of the migration destination can be automated.

  The information storage unit 22 of the terminal 2 stores the acquired migration AP, and the information processing unit 21 activates the migration AP (ST102). The information processing unit 21 requests the URL of the migration source server in accordance with the migration AP, and the display unit 24 displays an input screen or selection screen for the URL of the migration source server. The user inputs or selects the URL of the migration source server via the input unit 25 of the terminal 2 (ST103). Correspondingly, the communication unit 23 of the terminal 2 accesses the migration source server. For example, the communication unit 23 of the terminal 2 accesses the vital information management server 1, logs in based on an ID, a password, and the like input via the input unit 25, and receives a response from the vital information management server 1.

  Due to the graph display function of the vital information management server 1 and the Web browser function of the terminal 2, the display unit 24 of the terminal 2 allows the vital information (hereinafter referred to as original vital information (first vital information) to be managed by the vital information management server 1). )) Is generated (ST104). The display image includes, for example, a graph and a table. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display image including a graph. The information processing unit 21 of the terminal 2 reads the generated (displayed) image. For example, the information processing unit 21 acquires a snapshot of the displayed graph.

  Furthermore, the information processing unit 21 and the display unit 24 of the terminal 2 request support information (index) according to the transition AP, and accept the support information via the input unit 25 correspondingly. Support information is used to support estimation of data (data such as the number of steps, blood pressure, body weight, body temperature, and body fat) constituting original vital information from read data of an image generated (displayed) based on the original vital information. Information such as a graph display range, vertical axis, horizontal axis range, vertical axis, horizontal axis unit, information type (types of steps, blood pressure, body weight, body temperature, body fat, etc.) and the like.

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the information processing unit 21 and the display unit 24 request designation of a graph display range, a vertical axis, a horizontal axis range (numerical value), a vertical axis, a horizontal axis unit, and an information type according to the transition AP. Correspondingly, designation of graph display range, vertical axis, horizontal axis range, vertical axis, horizontal axis unit, and information type is accepted via the input unit 25 (ST105, ST106, ST107, ST108). For example, as for the graph display range, there is a method of enclosing the graph display range with the input unit 25 (mouse).

  Subsequently, the information processing unit 21 analyzes read data of an image such as a graph based on the support information (index), and estimates data constituting the original vital information. For example, the information processing unit 21 reads data every predetermined time (1 hour, 1 day, etc.) by image recognition and estimates data constituting the original vital information.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of a vital value calculation method. As shown in FIG. 5, a1, a2 (horizontal axis input value), b1, b2 (vertical axis input value), x1, x2 (horizontal axis screen position (coordinates)), via the input unit 25, When y1 and y2 (vertical screen position (coordinates)) are input, the information processing unit 21 calculates A (a numerical value on the horizontal axis) and B (a numerical value on the vertical axis) based on the following formula.

A = (X−x1) × (a2−a1) / (X2−X1)
B = (Y−y1) × (b2−b1) / (Y2−Y1)
Based on the calculation result, the information processing unit 21 analyzes the read data of the image and estimates the data constituting the original vital information.

  For example, the display unit 24 displays an image (graph or the like) based on the estimated data (estimated data) and requests to confirm or correct the estimated data (or estimated vital information generated from the estimated data). May be. When confirmation is input via the input unit 25, estimated data (or estimated vital information) is confirmed. When the correction is input via the input unit 25, the display unit 24 redisplays the display image shown in FIG. 4 so that the support information can be input again. Alternatively, when correction is input via the input unit 25, the vertical axis, the horizontal axis range, the vertical axis, the unit of the horizontal axis, etc. can be corrected on the image based on the estimated data (or estimated vital information).

  The information processing unit 21 may read the image after requesting support information and receiving the support information in accordance with the transition AP. The request and reception of the support information may not be essential. For example, the information processing unit 21 reads the image according to the transition AP, analyzes the read image without relying on the support information, and estimates the data constituting the original vital information. When the information is not requested and the data constituting the original vital information cannot be estimated, or the data with sufficient accuracy cannot be estimated, the support information may be requested.

  Further, when the information processing unit 21 of the terminal 2 detects that the transition button is pressed (ST109), it corresponds to the indentation form of the vital information management server 3 based on the estimated data (or estimated vital information) according to the transition AP. The vital information (second vital information) converted in this way is generated (ST110). As described above, the migration AP acquired from the vital information management server 3 includes information related to the vital information input format supported by the vital information management server 3. Therefore, the information processing unit 21 converts the vital information (converted vital information) converted so as to correspond to the input form of the vital information management server 3 based on the estimated data in accordance with the migration AP acquired from the vital information management server 3. Can be generated.

  When the migration AP does not include information on the input format of vital information supported by the vital information management server 3 serving as the migration destination, for example, the user can transfer the vital information of the migration destination via the input unit 25 of the terminal 2. Information related to the information service (for example, the URL of the server that provides the migration-destination vital information service) is input, and the information processing unit 21 provides information regarding the input format to the server that provides the migration-destination vital information service according to the migration AP. And receives information on the input format from the server that provides the migration destination vital information service, and generates converted vital information based on the estimated data.

  Furthermore, the communication unit 23 of the terminal 2 requests registration of the converted vital information to the vital information management server 3 that is the transfer destination of the converted vital information in accordance with the transferred AP, and transmits the converted vital information. As described above, the migration AP acquired from the vital information management server 3 includes the URL of the vital information management server 3. Therefore, the information processing unit 21 can transmit the converted vital information to the vital information management server 3 in accordance with the migration AP acquired from the vital information management server 3. The vital information management server 3 receives and registers the converted vital information (ST201), and reports the registration result to the terminal 2. The display unit 24 of the terminal 2 displays the registration result (ST111).

  When the migration AP does not include information regarding the migration destination vital information service, for example, the user inputs information regarding the migration destination vital information service via the input unit 25 of the terminal 2, and the information processing unit 21 can acquire the URL of the server that provides the migration destination vital information service in accordance with the migration AP, and transmit the converted vital information based on the acquired URL.

  In the above description, from the captured graph or the like displayed on the Web, it is converted into data (estimating the data constituting the original vital information), and converted vital information converted to correspond to the input format of the migration destination is generated, The case where the conversion vital information is transmitted to the migration destination has been described. In addition to this, from the image data obtained by photographing a graph or the like displayed on the Web with a camera, it is converted into data, and converted vital information converted to correspond to the input format of the transfer destination is generated and transferred to the transfer destination You may make it transmit conversion vital information.

  In recent years, a plurality of vital information management services have become widespread, but images (graphs, tables) based on vital information can be displayed in many services. According to the present embodiment, by using this display image, it is possible to easily generate converted vital data converted to correspond to the input format supported by the migration destination service without incurring costs. Can do. Further, by prompting the input of the support information described above and analyzing the read image based on the input support information, the original vital information can be estimated with high accuracy.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, if the migration source vital information management service has a vital information graph display function, the vital information managed by the migration source vital information management service can be easily used as the migration destination vital information management service. Can be migrated to.

  Note that the above-described procedure for migrating (or copying) vital information can be executed by software such as a migrating AP (or copy AP). For this reason, the above-described processing can be easily realized simply by downloading the migration AP that executes the above-described processing procedure, installing the migration AP, etc. in a normal computer and executing it. Alternatively, the above-described processing can be easily realized simply by installing and executing the migration AP or the like on a normal computer through a computer-readable storage medium storing the migration AP or the like that executes the above-described processing procedure.
