The communication unit 101 of the information management server 10 receives input of implementation status / result information from the user terminal 30.

(Step S107)
The implementation status / result information update unit 103 of the information management server 10 updates the health information DB 20 with the implementation status / result information input from the user terminal 30 received by the communication unit 101. At this time, the implementation status / result information update unit 103 continuously achieves the action from the past implementation status / result information accumulated in the health information DB 20 and the current implementation status / result information. The continuation information indicating the length of the achievement period is calculated, and the continuation information included in the implementation status / result information in the health information DB 20 is updated.

(Step S108)
The reward granting unit 104 refers to the continuation information included in the implementation status / result information, and determines whether or not the length of the achievement period exceeds the threshold. The threshold is not limited to one type, and may be provided individually for each action, or a plurality of thresholds may be provided. If the continuation information calculated by the implementation status / result information update unit 103 exceeds the threshold, the reward granting unit 104 achieves for the user by updating the reward information associated with the user in the health information DB 20. A reward indicating that the length of the period has exceeded the threshold is granted.

  And the reward provision part 104 makes the display screen production | generation part 105 produce | generate the display screen containing the reward image which shows the reward provided with respect to the user. For example, the reward image may be displayed on a part of the implementation status / result input screen.

  For example, the reward granting unit 104 grants a reward whose reward image is a predetermined badge when the achievement period reaches 10 days, and the reward image is a different badge when the achievement period reaches 30 days. A reward may be given.

(Step S109)
The information management server 10 distributes the display screen including the reward image generated by the display screen generation unit 105 to the user terminal 30 via the communication unit 101. The control unit 302 of the user terminal 30 causes the display unit 303 to display a display screen including a reward image acquired from the information management server 10 via the communication unit 301.

  The length of the period of achievement, in other words, continuity of behavior, is an important factor in health care. By presenting to the user information indicating that such factors have exceeded the threshold, the user is given a psychological reward for continuation of behavior, and the motivation for continuity of behavior for user health management is further enhanced. Therefore, it is possible to more effectively support the health management by the user.

(Step S110)
The user group implementation status / result information extraction unit 106 extracts user group information from the health information DB 20 from information related to the specific user. Then, the user group implementation status / result information extraction unit 106 extracts from the health information DB 20 implementation status / result information related to a member (other user) of the user group to which the specific user belongs, using the user group information as a key.

  For example, when the user group information of a specific user is “a man in his 30s whose weight is included in the action”, the user group implementation status / result information extraction unit 106 first shows the information shown in FIG. A table showing information on male users whose weight is included in the action is extracted from the health information DB 20. The user group implementation status / result information extraction unit 106 extracts users in their 30s, ranks the results (weight loss) as an index, and members of the user group to which the specific user belongs A table as shown in FIG. 3B showing the information about is generated.

  Then, the user group implementation status / result information extraction unit 106 supplies the screen generation unit 105 with a table indicating information about the generated member of the user group, and generates a social screen. Since the table showing information about the members of the user group includes implementation status / result information of other users (members different from the specific user) belonging to the user group, the screen generation unit 105 A social screen can be generated by referring to implementation status / result information of other users belonging to the user group.

  Note that the user group information of each user may indicate a user group specified on condition that at least one common type of action is set. The common type of action may be, for example, an action related to a specific factor or an action related to a specific disease. Other conditions for specifying the user group include the region to which the user belongs in addition to the above-described gender and age.

  Moreover, although this embodiment is the structure which is previously linked | related and stored in health information DB20 for every user as conditions for user group specification as user group information, this invention is not limited to this. For example, the structure which memorize | stores the data which preserve | save a member list for every user group in health information DB20 may be sufficient.

  The display screen generation unit 105 generates a social screen with reference to the information supplied from the user group implementation status / result information extraction unit 106. The social screen includes various reference information generated by referring to the implementation status / result information of other users belonging to the user group to which the specific user belongs. Such reference information includes, but is not limited to, information indicating the implementation status and distribution of results of other users belonging to the user group (implementation status or distribution map of results, users who have achieved the action) Number, percentage of users who have achieved actions, etc.) and information indicating the specific user's implementation status and the corresponding position of the outcome for that distribution (of the user whose reference information in the implementation status and outcome distribution map is presented It may include at least one of a corresponding position, a specific user's implementation status or ranking of results in a user group, whether or not a specific user has achieved an action for the first time.

  FIG. 7 shows a social screen 530 that is an example of a social screen that is generated by the display screen generation unit 105 and displayed on the display unit 303 of the user terminal 30. As shown in FIG. 7, the social screen 530 includes an image 532 that shows the implementation status or result distribution of other users. In addition, the social screen 530 further includes an image 531 indicating a corresponding user's implementation status or result for the distribution. According to such a social screen 530, it is possible to easily grasp the implementation status or result of another user and the difference in implementation status or outcome between the specific user and another user.

  Note that the reference information included in the social screen may be presented to the user on another display screen. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a social element 503 may be displayed on the implementation status / result input screen 50. As shown in FIG. 5, the social element 503 indicates the ranking of a specific user in the user group with respect to the previous day's result (weight loss range), and this indicates the specific user's result distribution with respect to the distribution of other users' results. Indicate the corresponding position of the outcome.

(Step S111)
The information management server 10 distributes the social screen generated by the display screen generation unit 105 to the user terminal 30 via the communication unit 101.

(Step S112)
The control unit 302 of the user terminal 30 causes the display unit 303 to display a social screen acquired from the information management server 10 via the communication unit 301.

  As described above, the information management server 10 presents a social screen or a social element generated by referring to the implementation status / result information of other users of a user group having a common type of goal to the user. With a simple mechanism, it will encourage the user to be competitive, such as wanting to win over other users, and will be encouraged to cooperate with other users because they are working hard. Can effectively support health management.

  In particular, the social screen or the social element includes at least information indicating an implementation status or achievement distribution of other users belonging to the user group, and information indicating a corresponding position of the implementation status or achievement of the specific user with respect to the distribution. By including one, the user presented with the reference information can easily grasp the implementation status and results of other users, and the difference between the implementation status and results of other users and his / her own. Accordingly, it is possible to successfully arouse competitiveness, cooperation, and the like to the user, further increase the motivation for the user's health management, and more effectively support the health management by the user.

  In particular, when the implementation status / result information indicating the implementation status of the action that is the behavior goal includes continuation information that indicates the length of the achievement period in which the behavior goal is continuously achieved, the display screen generation unit 105 When generating the reference information, the length of the achievement period can be referred to. The length of the period of achievement, in other words, continuity of behavior is an important element in health care, and by presenting information about other users about such elements, The motivation for continuity can be further increased, and the health management by the user can be more effectively supported.

(About the timing of social screen presentation)
