The predetermined timing may be, for example, a time set in advance by a supporter or the like, or may be a timing triggered by receiving an instruction from the terminal device 20.

  The presentation unit 12 sets the time at which the individual presentation information 110-1 to 110-n is presented to the information presentation target person based on the physical condition management information 111 and the presentation management information 112. That is, the presentation unit 12 refers to the presentation management information 112, and for example, the level of the physical state that can be handled by the information presentation target person with respect to the presentation information 110-4 is “A” or “B”. Make sure that Subsequently, the presentation unit 12 refers to the physical condition management information 111, so that the time period when the physical condition level is “A” or “B” is 9: 00-17: 00 and 18: 00-22: 00. Make sure that Thus, the presentation unit 12 sets the time at which the presentation information 110-4 is presented to the information presentation target person to any one of 9:00 to 17:00 and 18:00 to 22:00.

  By referring to the presentation management information 112, the presentation unit 12 confirms that, for example, the level of the physical condition that can be handled by the information presentation target person with respect to the presentation information 110-7 is only “A”. Subsequently, the presentation unit 12 refers to the physical condition management information 111 to determine that the time period when the physical condition level is “A” is 10:00 to 12:00, 14 to 17:00, and 20 to 22:00. Make sure that Thus, the presentation unit 12 sets the time at which the presentation information 110-4 is presented to the information presentation target person to any one of 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock, 14 to 17 o'clock, and 20 to 22 o'clock.

  The presentation unit 12 generates presentation time setting information 120 indicating the result of setting the presentation time, and stores the generated presentation time setting information 120 in, for example, an internal memory or the like. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the presentation time setting information 120 according to the present embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the presentation time setting information 120 is information indicating a presentation time setting result for each of the pieces of presentation information 110-1 to 110-n.

  After generating the presentation time setting information 120, the presentation unit 12 adjusts the content of the presentation time setting information 120 so that the frequency of presenting the presentation information for each time period is equal or substantially equal between the time periods. You may. Alternatively, the presentation unit 12 adjusts the content of the presentation time setting information 120 based on the result of the number of times that the information presentation target person has dealt with the presentation information as expected (the number of successful treatments) for each time period. Is also good.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram exemplifying the configuration of the time-slot-based performance management information 115 indicating the results of the number of successful copings for each time zone described above. The time-based performance management information 115 is stored in the storage unit 11 as shown in FIG. The time-based performance management information 115 is input by the supporter via the terminal device 20, for example. The time-slot-based performance management information 115 may be generated or updated by the updating unit 15 described later.

  The time-slot-based performance management information 115 illustrated in FIG. 6 is information indicating the results of the number of successful copings for the past week for each time zone having the same physical condition level. “Total time” illustrated in FIG. 6 is an item indicating the total time for one week in each time zone, and is a value that can be calculated based on the physical condition management information 111 illustrated in FIG. “The number of successes per unit time” illustrated in FIG. 6 is a value obtained by dividing the number of successful treatments by the total time for each time zone.

  For example, the presenter 12 determines that the ratio of the frequency at which the presentation information 110-1 to 110-n is presented for the time zones in which the physical state levels are “A”, “B”, and “C” The content of the presentation time setting information 120 may be adjusted so as to be equal to the ratio of the number of successful times per unit time indicated by the separate achievement management information 115. In this case, for example, based on the time-slot-based performance management information 115 illustrated in FIG. 6, the presentation unit 12 determines whether the level of the physical condition is “A”, “B”, and “C”. The content of the presentation time setting information 120 is adjusted so that the ratio of the frequency at which the presentation information is presented is equal to 1.06: 1.14: 0.81.

  The presentation unit 12 outputs the presentation information 110-i when the clock unit 121 outputs the presentation time of the presentation information 110-i (i is an integer of 1 to n) indicated by the presentation time setting information 120. Present to the information presentation target person. The presentation unit 12 outputs the presentation information 110-i by voice using, for example, the speaker 122 and outputs the image using the monitor 123.

  For example, in the present embodiment, the time at which the presentation information 110-1 is presented is set to “7:10 (7:10)” by the presentation unit 12, as illustrated in FIG. When the clock unit 121 indicates 7:10, the presentation unit 12 outputs, for example, a voice saying “Today is June 1” from the speaker 122 according to the content indicated by the presentation information 110-1. . At this time, the presentation unit 12 may display an image indicating June 1 on the monitor 123. After that, the presentation unit 12 outputs, for example, a voice saying “What is the date and what day is today” from the speaker 122 in order to confirm whether or not the information presentation target person has correctly recognized today's date. .

  For example, in the present embodiment, the time at which the presentation information 110-6 is presented is set to “9:30 (9:30)” by the presentation unit 12 as illustrated in FIG. When the timing unit 121 indicates 9:30, the presentation unit 12 transmits, for example, “Go to Bank A and transfer 30,000 yen to Mr. B according to the content indicated by the presentation information 110-6. Please show me the transfer statement after returning home. " At this time, the presentation unit 12 may display a map or the like indicating a route to Bank A on the monitor 123.

  The collecting unit 13 illustrated in FIG. 1 collects handling information indicating the content of the presentation target 110-i by the information presentation target person. The collection unit 13 includes a microphone 130 and a camera 131. The collection unit 13 uses the microphone 130 to collect, as the coping information, the voice uttered from the information presentation target after the presentation information 110-i is presented to the information presentation target by the presentation unit 12. After the presentation information 110-i is presented to the information presenting person by the presenting unit 12, the collecting unit 13 photographs the information presenting person with the camera 131, and collects the photographing result as coping information. The collection unit 13 may have a function of identifying the information presentation target person using at least one of the microphone 130 and the camera 131.

  The collection unit 13 outputs the information to be presented to the information presenting person or the information output from a sensor installed in the house of the information presenting person after the presentation information 110-i is presented to the information presenting person by the presenting unit 12. May be collected as coping information. As an example of the above-described sensor, there is a GPS (Global Positioning System) sensor provided in a mobile phone carried by the information presentation target person. The GSP sensor outputs information indicating the location of the information presentation target when the information presentation target goes out. Further, as an example of the above-mentioned sensor, there is a human sensor installed in each room in the house of the information presenting target person. The motion sensor outputs information indicating in which room in the house the information presentation target person is. In addition, as an example of the above-described sensor, there is a sensor included in a medication support device. The sensor included in the medication support device outputs information indicating that the information presentation target has taken the medication.

  The collection unit 13 performs processing such as digitization on the collected handling information as necessary, and then inputs the handling information to the determination unit 14.

  The determination unit 14 compares the coping information input from the collection unit 13 with the expectation information 113-i stored in the storage unit 11 so that the information presentation target person can be assigned to the presented presentation information 110-i. Then, it is determined whether or not the measures were taken as expected.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating the contents of the expectation information 113-1 to 113-n according to the present embodiment. The expectation information 113-1 to 113-n are information indicating the contents of a response expected of the information presentation target when the presentation information 110-1 to 110-n are sequentially presented to the information presentation target. The expectation information 113-1 to 113-n are input by a supporter via the terminal device 20, for example. In FIG. 7, the contents of the expectation information 113-1 to 113-n are collectively described in a table format for convenience of explanation.

  As illustrated in FIG. 7, for example, the expected information 113-1 indicates today's date expected as a response (response) by the information presenting person after the presentation information 110-1 is presented by the presenting unit 12. Set as words. In this case, the determination unit 14 performs speech recognition processing on the coping information input from the collection unit 13, thereby recognizing the words uttered from the information presentation target person, and recognizing the contents of the recognized words and the expected information. The content of the word indicated by 113-1 is compared. When the content of the word indicated by the coping information corresponds to the content of the word indicated by the expectation information 113-1, the determination unit 14 determines that the information presenter responds to the presented presentation information 110-1 as expected. It is determined that it was completed.

  For example, after the presentation unit 12 outputs a voice saying “Today is June 1” or “What day is this month?”, The information presentation target is changed to “June. When the word indicating “1 day” is issued, the determination unit 14 determines that the information presentation target person has successfully dealt with the presented presentation information 110-1 as expected.

  As illustrated in FIG. 7, for example, the expectation information 113-6 is the transfer statement expectation information expected after the presentation information 110-6 is presented by the presentation unit 12, and is expected as the coping content by the information presentation target person. And it is set as the expected value of the output from the GPS sensor. For example, if the presentation information 110-6 illustrated in FIG. 2 is information indicating that "go to Bank A and transfer 30,000 yen to Mr. B and show the transfer statement after returning home", the transfer statement The expected information is, for example, in the form of a transfer statement showing that 30,000 yen has been transferred to Mr. B. In this case, the expected value of the output from the GPS sensor is a value indicating the position of Bank A. After the information presentation target person returns home, the determination unit 14 performs an image analysis process on the image of the transfer statement input via the camera 131. Then, the determination unit 14 indicates that the image of the transfer statement included in the handling information collected by the collecting unit 13 has transferred 30,000 yen to Mr. B, and the GPS sensor included in the handling information If the output value from is a value indicating the position of Bank A, it is determined that the information presenting person has been able to cope with the presented information 110-6 as expected.

  The determination unit 14 also performs an image analysis process, such as using a technique for determining the behavior of a person described in Patent Document 3 based on the image (video) included in the coping information collected by the collection unit 13. Thus, it may be determined whether or not the information presentation target person has successfully dealt with the presented presentation information 110-i as expected.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the determination unit 14 determines a result of determining whether or not the information presentation target person can cope with the presented presentation information 110-1 to 110-n as expected. The result management information 114 is stored in the storage unit 11. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the presentation information-based performance management information 114 according to the present embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 8, the presentation information-based performance management information 114 is information indicating a presentation time and a determination result for each of the presentation information 110-1 to 110-n. It should be noted that the presentation information-based performance management information 114 illustrated in FIG. 8 indicates a one-day determination result, but the presentation information-based performance management information 114 is, for example, information indicating a determination result in a longer period. You may.

  The updating unit 15 updates the physical condition management information 111 and the presentation management information 112 based on the presentation information-based performance management information 114 stored in the storage unit 11 by the determination unit 14.

  The update unit 15 confirms the determination result for each time zone, for example, at 7:00 or 8:00 based on the presentation information-based performance management information 114. The update unit 15 sets the level of the physical state in the specific time zone to “A”, for example, when the ratio of the number of times that the information presentation target person can cope as expected is larger than the threshold X in the specific time zone. Set (update). For example, when the ratio of the number of times that the information presentation target person was able to cope as expected in the specific time zone is equal to or more than the threshold Y (Y is smaller than X) and equal to or less than the threshold X, The level of the physical condition in the specific time zone is set (updated) to “B”. For example, when the ratio of the number of times that the information presentation target person has been able to cope as expected in the specific time zone is less than the threshold Y, the update unit 15 sets the level of the physical state in the specific time zone to “C”. Set (update) to. Thereby, the updating unit 15 updates the physical condition management information 111. At this time, the update unit 15 sets the level of the physical state in a specific time zone based on the level of the physical state that can be dealt with for each piece of presentation information indicated by the presentation management information 112 (by performing weighting in the calculation). You may.

  The updating unit 15 confirms the presentation information 110-i whose determination result is "handling failure" based on the presentation information-based performance management information 114, and then, based on the physical condition management information 111, displays the presentation information 110-i. -Confirm the level of the physical condition at the time when i is presented. Then, the updating unit 15 calculates the level of the physical condition in the time zone in which the presentation information 110-i is presented, from the list of the levels of the physical conditions that can be dealt with associated with the presentation information 110-i in the presentation management information 112, and Then, the presentation management information 112 is updated by deleting the level whose state is worse than the physical state.

  The update unit 15 confirms, for example, that the presentation information 110-3 in the presentation information-based performance management information 114 illustrated in FIG. The updating unit 15 confirms that the level of the physical state of “8:30 (8:30)” at which the presentation information 110-3 is presented is “C” based on the physical state management information 111. In this case, the updating unit 15 determines that it is difficult for the information presentation target person to cope with the presentation information 110-3 as expected during the time period when the physical condition level is “C”. And Thereby, the updating unit 15 updates the presentation management information 112 illustrated in FIG. 4 to delete the level “C” from the list of available physical condition levels associated with the presentation information 110-3. Do. When the level of the physical condition at the time when the presentation information 110-3 is presented is “B”, the updating unit 15 can deal with the presentation management information 112 in response to the presentation information 110-3. An update is performed to delete the levels “B” and “C” from the list of levels of various physical states.

  The update unit 15 generates or updates the time-based performance management information 115 based on the physical condition management information 111 and the presentation-based performance management information 114 stored in the storage unit 11, and generates or updates the generated time zone. The separate result management information 115 is stored in the storage unit 11. For example, based on the physical condition management information 111 illustrated in FIG. 3, the update unit 15 calculates the total time of the time period in a predetermined period (for example, one week) for each time period in which the physical condition levels are equal. As illustrated by the time-based performance management information 115 illustrated in FIG. 6, the updating unit 15 performs the total time for one week in the time periods in which the physical condition levels are “A”, “B”, and “C”. Are sequentially 49 hours, 35 hours, and 21 hours. Based on the physical condition management information 111 and the presentation information-based performance management information 114, the updating unit 15 determines that the level of the physical condition is “A” or “B” as indicated by the time zone-based performance management information 115 illustrated in FIG. And the number of successful copings in the time zone of “C”. Note that the presentation information-based performance management information 114 illustrated in FIG. 8 shows the determination result for one day. In this case, the presentation information-based performance management information 114 includes at least one week's determination result. And Then, the updating unit 15 calculates the number of successes per unit time by dividing the number of successful copings by the total time for each time period in which the level of the physical condition is equal.

The information presentation device 10 sets 1 to a variable i (i is any integer from 1 to n), and starts the repetitive processing from steps S102 to S109 (step S102).

  The presentation unit 12 confirms the level of the physical condition that can be dealt with for the presentation information 110-i (Step S103). When the physical condition level that can be dealt with is only “A” (Yes in step S104), the presentation unit 12 sets the presentation time of the presentation information 110-i to the time period when the physical condition level is “A”. One is set (step S105), and the process proceeds to step S109. If the level of the physical condition that can be dealt with is not only “A” (No in step S104), the process proceeds to step S106.

  When the level of the physical condition that can be dealt with is “A” or “B” (Yes in step S106), the presentation unit 12 sets the presentation time of the presentation information 110-i to “A” or “ B ”(step S107), and the process proceeds to step S109. When the level of the physical condition that can be dealt with is not “A” or “B” (that is, “A”, “B”, and “C”) (No in step S106), the presentation unit 12 displays the presentation information. The presentation time of 110-i is set to any time zone (step S108).

  If the value of the variable i is not n, the information presentation device 10 adds 1 to the variable i, and the process returns to S103. When the value of the variable i is n, the information presentation device 10 ends the repetitive processing from step S102 to S109 (step S109). The presentation unit 12 adjusts the presentation times of the presentation information 110-1 to 110-n so that the presentation frequency for each time zone satisfies the standard, and generates the adjusted result as the presentation time setting information 120 (step S110). ). At the time indicated by the presentation time setting information 120, the presentation unit 12 presents the presentation information associated with the time (step S111), and the entire process ends.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an operation in which the information presentation apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment updates the physical condition management information 111 and the presentation management information 112.

In order to avoid such a problem, the information presenting apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment is configured such that the frequency of each time period for presenting the presentation information to the information presenting target person is equal or substantially equal among the time periods. Presentation information can be presented.

  In addition, the storage unit 11 according to the present embodiment stores, for each time period in which the level of the physical condition is equal, the information presentation target person can cope with the presentation information as expected. Time-based performance management information 115 indicating the number of times is stored. Then, the presentation unit 12 determines the ratio of the frequency of presenting the presentation information in those time zones to be equal to the ratio of the number of successes per unit time in those time zones. That is, the information presentation device 10 according to the present embodiment presents the presentation information at the presentation frequency according to the number of successes per unit time for each time slot having the same physical condition level, so that the information presentation target person is presented. Information can be presented to the information presenting person in a well-balanced manner so that the information can be dealt with more steadily.

  Further, the information presentation device 10 according to the present embodiment includes a collection unit 13, a determination unit 14, and an update unit 15. The collecting unit 13 collects coping information indicating the content of the coping with the presented information by the information presenting target person by using the microphone 130, the camera 131, a sensor installed outside, and the like. The determination unit 14 determines whether the information presentation target person has been able to cope as expected by comparing the collected coping information with the expectation information 113-1 to 113-n. Then, the updating unit 15 updates the physical condition management information 111 and the presentation management information 112 based on the determination result by the determination unit 14. That is, the information presenting apparatus 10 compares the physical condition management information 111 and the presentation management information 112, which are references when determining the time period for presenting the presentation information to the information presenter, with the results of the information presenter's handling. Update accordingly. Thereby, the information presentation device 10 according to the present embodiment can further improve the certainty that the information presentation target person appropriately deals with the presented information.
