Description

The present technology relates to an information processing device and method, an information processing system, and a program, and particularly relates to an information processing device and method, an information processing system, and a program capable of achieving both anonymity and accuracy.

For example, in medical treatment, taking medication by the patient himself is a useful treatment method that does not consume much medical resources, which is obvious to be tight in the future, as compared with treatment by the medical staff such as injection and surgery.

However, the proportion of lifestyle-related diseases is increasing in modern medical care as compared with conventional medical care, which has many acute diseases. Compared to acute illness, lifestyle-related illnesses often result in patients not taking the prescribed medication, which results in worsening symptoms and consumes more medical resources than if taken appropriately. Is invited.

For example, in diabetes, if the therapeutic drug was properly taken at the time when there were not many subjective symptoms, it did not worsen, but since the patient did not take it, the condition worsened, and dialysis or hospitalization If that happens, the consumption of medical resources will jump dramatically. For this reason, improvement of the medication rate (adherence) is required.

On the other hand, lifestyle-related diseases also have various symptoms and drugs, and the timing of medication instruction differs depending on the age and drug. Although accurate personal information of the patient is required to provide accurate medication instruction, handling sensitive personal information such as medication history requires a high management cost.

As a method of managing drug history information, a technique has been proposed in which the data server manages drug history information without holding information that can directly identify an individual user, thereby improving security (for example, See Patent Document 1).

JP, 2013-101585, A

By the way, in notifications and questionnaires to patients who are taking medication, as with treatments and surveys at medical institutions, they are highly accurate, but they also rely on groups (panels) that have a strong connection with actual personal information, or On the other hand, it was customary to rely on a group (panel) that is highly anonymous but whose accuracy is not guaranteed because it is self-reported information on the Web.

In such a situation, the former method has little psychological barrier for patients being treated to be notified, but the fact that questionnaires come after treatment is not intended for personal information use. It is close and the psychological barrier is large. That is, with the former method, it was difficult to ensure anonymity although the accuracy was high.

On the other hand, in the latter method, since it is self-reporting, there is no detailed data on medication and accuracy is not ensured.

In the present technology, the data center configuring the information processing system manages drug history information and the like of the user who is a patient by a mechanism that balances anonymity and accuracy.

Here, for example, the data center acquires the medication history information from the pharmacy or the medical institution and manages the medication history information to ensure the accuracy of the medication history information. The medication history information is, for example, information on an electronic medication notebook, information on a drug prescribed to a user who is a patient, and information on taking the drug.

The drug history information and the information about the patient are treated as real names at pharmacies and medical institutions, and are anonymously stored at the data sensor. If the personal information of the user who is the patient is stored in a portable medium such as a card possessed by the user, it will be possible to store the medical history information obtained from the data center at another pharmacy or medical institution later. By combining with personal information stored in a portable medium or the like, a realized display can be realized.

According to the information processing system that performs the notification and the questionnaire based on the drug history information as described above, for example, the following features (1) to (8) can be realized.

(1)
An electronic medication notebook that considers personal information and users associated with similar information can be used as a population and segmented into notifications and questionnaires (2)
Targets for sending notifications and questionnaires can be personal terminal devices owned by the user, portable terminal devices provided in pharmacies, computers in hospitals, etc. (3)
Notifications and questionnaires can be given only to users whose medication period for a specific drug is within a certain range (4)
Notifications and questionnaires can be given only to users who have been to specific pharmacies or medical institutions within the past n years (5)
Timely notifications and questionnaires can be given at specified timings, such as "3 days after the start of administration" (6)
Individual attributes such as weight, age, occupation, blood pressure, blood sugar level, family composition, etc. can be recorded within a range that takes into account personal information, and notifications and questionnaires can be performed using those attributes as well (7)
Regarding the contents of notifications and questionnaires, a subject other than the sender, the data center, can draft notifications and questionnaires as the requester (8).
It is possible to set up a mechanism to confirm the contents of notifications and questionnaires drafted by the client at the data center etc.

Then, hereinafter, embodiments to which the present technology is applied will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

Note that an example in which the information managed by the data center is drug history information provided by a pharmacy or medical institution will be described here. However, the information managed by the data center, that is, the information used for notifications and questionnaires is not limited to this, and it is preferable if the information is desired to be anonymized by separating personal information from the provided information. (However, it is not always necessary to request the separation of personal information).

Specifically, the information managed by the data center can be information provided by various facilities such as a financial institution, a tax office, a transportation facility, a nursing facility, a funeral home, a fitness club, and the like. In this case, the user is not the patient but the user of each of those facilities.

That is, for example, as indicated by an arrow Q21 in FIG. 6, as the information regarding the notification, the notification ID, the notification information, and the notification selection information are recorded in the recording unit 53 in association with each other.

Here, the notification ID is an ID that uniquely identifies the notification information. Further, the notification information is the content of the notification given to the user, that is, the information including the text information and the figure of the notification text.

Further, the notification selection information indicates a condition related to extraction of a user who is a notification information notification target, that is, an extraction condition for identifying (extracting) a user to be notified of the notification information among a plurality of users. Information. In other words, a user who satisfies the extraction condition indicated by the notification selection information is a notification target of the notification information.

Specifically, for example, the extraction condition indicated by the notification selection information is, for example, a patient aged 60 years or older who has taken the drug A by March 31, 2016.

In addition, the extraction condition indicated by the notification selection information is related to the user within a range that does not specify an individual, such as information on a drug such as a dosing period, a dosing method, and the content of the drug, a user's age, sex, blood group, and regional information. It may be a condition defined by information or the like. In addition, the area information referred to here is an area where the user lives, a location area of a facility used by the user such as a pharmacy or a medical institution, and a location area of the user's place of work. That is, any data may be used as long as the data is recorded in the data center 12 as the subject information.

Further, the notification selection information may include a condition regarding a notification timing, a condition regarding a terminal device that transmits the notification, and the like. For example, with respect to the terminal device of the user who gives the notification, the user who owns the plurality of terminal devices can be designated by the notification selection information to notify one of the terminal devices, or the plurality of terminal devices can be notified. It may be possible to specify that notification is to be performed. If the user has registered a plurality of terminal devices, the terminal device with the latest registration date may be notified.

Further, the notification selection information may specify the number of people for each category when extracting users to be notified, such as extracting 100 men and women. That is, the notification selection information may include information that specifies the number of people to be extracted for each category.

In addition, the information regarding the notification may include the expiration date of the notification information. The term of validity here is, for example, a period during which the notification information can be transmitted or displayed on the terminal device on the user side, that is, the term of notification.

In the recording unit 53 of the data center 12, in addition to the information regarding the notification indicated by the arrow Q21, for example, notification target person information indicated by the arrow Q22 is recorded.

The notification target person information is a list including a notification ID indicating the notification information, and personal identification information and terminal identification information of each user who is the notification target and is associated with the notification ID.

At the time of transmitting the notification information, the user specified by the personal identification information included in the notification target person information owns, and is specified by the terminal identification information associated with the personal identification information in the notification target person information. The notification information is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 14.

Further, for example, as indicated by an arrow Q31 in FIG. 7, a questionnaire ID, questionnaire information, and questionnaire selection information are recorded in the recording unit 53 in association with each other as information regarding the questionnaire.

Here, the questionnaire ID is an ID that uniquely identifies the questionnaire information. In addition, the questionnaire information is information including text information and drawings of question contents of the questionnaire to be given to the user.

The questionnaire selection information is the same information as the notification selection information.

That is, the questionnaire selection information is information indicating the conditions related to the extraction of the user who is the subject of the questionnaire information transmission. In other words, the users who satisfy the extraction conditions indicated by the questionnaire selection information are targeted for transmission of the questionnaire information.

In the questionnaire selection information as well, the extraction conditions indicated by the questionnaire selection information are, for example, information on medications such as the dosing period, dosing method, content of medications, the age of the user, sex, blood type, regional information, etc. It may be a condition defined by information about the user in an unspecified range.

Furthermore, the questionnaire selection information may include conditions regarding the timing of executing the questionnaire, conditions regarding the terminal device that transmits the questionnaire information, etc., and the users to whom the questionnaire is sent are extracted from the questionnaire selection information. The number of people to be extracted may be specified for each category.

In addition, the information regarding the questionnaire may include the expiration date of the questionnaire information. The term of validity here is, for example, a period during which questionnaire information can be transmitted or displayed, a period during which responses are accepted, or the like.

Further, in the recording unit 53, questionnaire target person information indicated by an arrow Q32 is also recorded.

The questionnaire target person information is a list including a questionnaire ID indicating the questionnaire information, and personal identification information and terminal identification information of each user who is a transmission target and is associated with the questionnaire ID.

<Explanation of notification target person extraction processing>
Next, the operation of the information processing system will be described. In the data center 12, notification information and questionnaire information are acquired from the input terminal device 15 as transmission information to be transmitted to the mobile terminal device 14 and the member store system 11, and the transmission information is transmitted at an appropriate timing.

First, the notification target person extraction processing in which the data center 12 extracts the notification target of the notification information and generates the notification target person information will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 8.

In step S11, the communication unit 51 receives the notification ID, the notification information, and the notification selection information transmitted from the input terminal device 15, thereby acquiring the notification ID, the notification information, and the notification selection information, and controlling the information. Supply to the section 52.

In step S12, the target person extraction unit 61 extracts the user to be notified, that is, the user identified by the notification selection information, based on the acquired notification selection information and the target person information recorded in the recording unit 53. To do. More specifically, the portable terminal device 14 of the user to be notified is extracted. The user's portable terminal device 14 to be notified is specified by the personal identification information and the terminal identification information.

For example, if the extraction condition indicated by the notification selection information is a user whose age is 60 years or older, the target person extraction unit 61 causes the birth year included in the information about the user as the target person information illustrated in FIG. Based on the above, the users to be notified are extracted by searching for the users who are 60 years old or older.

In step S13, the notification information management unit 62 generates notification target person information based on the extraction result of the users to be notified in step S12.

For example, the notification information management unit 62 reads, from the recording unit 53, the user's personal identification information and the terminal identification information associated with the personal identification information for each user extracted as the notification target. Then, the notification information management unit 62 generates, as the notification target person information, a list obtained by associating the notification ID acquired in step S11 with the personal identification information and the terminal identification information of all the users who are the notification targets.

When the notification target person information is generated in this way, the notification information management unit 62 generates information about the notification including the notification ID, the notification information, and the notification selection information acquired in step S11, and the generated notification target person information. And are supplied to the recording unit 53 to instruct recording.

At this time, the notification information management unit 62 processes the notification information as needed. The finally-obtained notification information is, for example, message information for displaying the notification content, such as, for example, drug A, which requires attention in accordance with the Beer's standard, so that attention is given.

In step S14, the recording unit 53 records the information regarding the notification and the notification target person information supplied from the notification information management unit 62, and the notification target person extraction process ends.

As described above, the data center 12 extracts the user to be notified and generates the notification target person information based on the target person information in which both accuracy and anonymity are compatible, and the notification target person information and the notification Record the information. As a result, it becomes possible to carry out the notification in which both accuracy and anonymity are compatible. For example, since the user's personal information is not held in the data center 12, it is possible to extract the users to be notified while maintaining the anonymity, and it is possible to further reduce the psychological barrier for receiving the notification of the user. ..

Here, an example has been described in which the users to be notified are extracted based on the target person information. The information about the user included in the target person information may include information input by the individual user. Specifically, for example, the information about the medical history and allergies, the content of the user's meal, and the like may be input by the individual user.

Since the information input by the individual user is information having a slightly lower accuracy than the information acquired from the member store system 11, such information is used when the user to be notified is selected. You may not. However, depending on the content of the notification, it is also useful to utilize the information input by the individual user.

In addition, for example, setting information such as opt-in or opt-out input by the individual user, that is, whether or not to receive the notification may be used to extract the notification target user.

In such a case, for example, the communication unit 51 of the data center 12 receives the information indicating the presence or absence of the reception request transmitted from the mobile terminal device 14 or the member store system 11 and supplies the information to the control unit 52. The control unit 52 generates setting information based on the supplied information. For example, the setting information is information including personal identification information, terminal identification information, and a flag indicating whether or not to receive the information. The control unit 52 supplies the generated setting information to the recording unit 53 and records it.

Then, in step S12, the target person extraction unit 61 extracts the user to be notified based on the notification selection information, the target person information, and the setting information. At this time, for example, even if the user satisfies the extraction condition indicated by the notification selection information, if the flag in the setting information has a value indicating that the user does not want to receive the user, the user is not notified.

<Explanation of notification acquisition processing and notification information transmission processing>
When the notification information and the notification target person information are recorded in the data center 12 as described above, the mobile terminal device 14 of each user acquires the notification information at an appropriate timing.

Hereinafter, the notification acquisition process by the mobile terminal device 14 and the notification information transmission process by the data center 12 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 9.

For example, the notification acquisition process by the mobile terminal device 14 is performed when the user operates the mobile terminal device 14 to activate an application program related to a service provided by the information processing system, or when the application program is stored in the data center 12. It starts at the timing of accessing. For example, the timing at which the application program accesses the data center 12 may be a timing at which the user has instructed to browse the drug history information, or a predetermined timing such as automatic reading.

In step S41, the communication unit 91 of the portable terminal device 14 transmits the personal identification information and the terminal identification information to the data center 12 via the communication network 16.

That is, the control unit 93 reads the personal identification information and the terminal identification information of the user from the recording unit 95 and supplies the personal identification information and the terminal identification information to the communication unit 91. The communication unit 91 supplies the personal identification information and the terminal identification information supplied from the control unit 93 to the communication network. It transmits to the data center 12 via 16.

Then, in step S51 of the data center 12, the communication unit 51 receives the personal identification information and the terminal identification information transmitted from the portable terminal device 14 and supplies the personal identification information and the terminal identification information to the control unit 52.

In step S52, the notification information management unit 62 should notify the user based on the personal identification information, the terminal identification information, and the notification target person information about each of the one or more pieces of notification information recorded in the recording unit 53. Search for notification information.

That is, when the notification target person information for the predetermined notification ID includes the combination of the personal identification information and the terminal identification information received in step S51, the notification information management unit 62 indicates by the predetermined notification ID. It is assumed that the notified notification information should be notified to the user.

The notification information management unit 62 reads the notification information to be notified to the user, which has been retrieved in this way, from the recording unit 53 and supplies it to the communication unit 51.

In step S53, the communication unit 51 transmits the notification information supplied from the notification information management unit 62 to the mobile terminal device 14 via the communication network 16.

In step S54, the notification information management unit 62 controls the recording unit 53 to delete the personal identification information and the terminal identification information of the user from the notification target person information of the notification information transmitted to the user. Is updated, and the notification information transmission process ends.

When the notification information is transmitted in step S53, the communication unit 91 of the mobile terminal device 14 receives the notification information transmitted from the data center 12 and supplies the notification information to the control unit 93 in step S42. The control unit 93 supplies the notification information supplied from the communication unit 91 to the recording unit 95 for recording.

Further, for example, in the running application program, the control unit 93 displays on the display unit 94 that there is new notification information, and when the user gives an instruction to display the notification information, the instructed notification information is displayed. To be done.

That is, in step S43, the control unit 93 reads the notification information instructed by the user from the recording unit 95, supplies the notification information to the display unit 94, and displays the notification information. When the notification information is displayed in this way, the notification acquisition process ends.

As described above, the portable terminal device 14 acquires the notification information from the data center 12 at an appropriate timing and displays the acquired notification information. As a result, it is possible to realize the notification of the notification information that has both accuracy and anonymity. Further, after that, for example, processing such as continuing to display the notification as appropriate until the predetermined expiration date, and not displaying the notification after the expiration date is performed.

It should be noted that although an example in which the notification information is displayed in the notification acquisition process has been described here, the notification information does not necessarily have to be displayed immediately after reception. That is, the mobile terminal device 14 may receive and record the notification information once, and the notification information may be displayed at a later timing when the user instructs the display, for example.

Further, here, the example in which the portable terminal device 14 performs the notification in the pull format for reading the notification information from the data center 12 has been described, but the notification may be performed in the push format. In such a case, the notification information management unit 62 of the data center 12 includes the notification target person information immediately or at an appropriate timing after performing the notification target person extraction process described with reference to FIG. The portable terminal device 14 of the user specified by the personal identification information and the terminal identification information is notified.

That is, the notification information management unit 62 reads the terminal identification information included in the notification target person information and the notification information associated with the notification ID included in the notification target person information from the recording unit 53. Then, the notification information management unit 62 obtains the token, for example, based on the read terminal identification information, supplies the notification information to the communication unit 51, and causes the portable terminal device 14 to transmit the notification information based on the obtained token. ..

The communication unit 51 transmits the supplied notification information to the mobile terminal device 14 via the communication network 16 under the control of the notification information management unit 62. When the notification information is transmitted, the notification information management unit 62 updates the notification target person information recorded in the recording unit 53.

Further, the transmission destination of the notification information is not limited to the mobile terminal device 14, and may be a pharmacy or a medical institution as the member store system 11.

For example, when browsing the drug history information of the user in the pharmacy as the member store system 11, the member store terminal device 21 acquires the personal identification information read from the user's IC card 13 by the information identification reader 23 and the receipt computer 22. The dispensing pharmacy identification information is transmitted to the data center 12 via the communication network 16.

The data center 12 performs the processes of steps S52 to S54 described above based on the personal identification information and the dispensing pharmacy identification information transmitted from the member store terminal device 21, and notifies the user specified by the personal identification information as a notification target. Is transmitted to the member store terminal device 21 specified by the dispensing pharmacy identification information. Thereby, the member store system 11 can receive and display the notification information transmitted from the data center 12 and present it to the user.

By the way, since the data center 12 has a mechanism (mechanism) in which the user's personal information is not held, the text of the notification content by the notification information includes personal information such as the address of the recipient of the notification. I can't. However, in the mobile terminal device 14 and the IC card 13, not only personal identification information but also personal information such as the user's name and sex is recorded.

Therefore, when the notification information is displayed, the notification information and the personal information recorded in the portable terminal device 14 or the like are used to display the notification content by adding the address, that is, the user's individual name or the like. It may be performed.

In such a case, for example, the control unit 93 of the portable terminal device 14 reads the personal information of the user associated with the personal identification information transmitted in step S41 from the recording unit 95. Then, the control unit 93 extracts necessary information such as a name from the read personal information, embeds it in the text or title of the notification content indicated by the notification information, and then supplies it to the display unit 94 for display.

With this, for example, it is possible to clearly indicate that the notification target of the notification information is the user himself, or when a plurality of users are registered in the mobile terminal device 14, a notification targeting only a specific user is issued. You can go.

<Explanation of survey target person extraction processing>
In the above, the example of notifying the user who is the patient by the notification information has been described. However, by setting the notification content as the question content, not the unilateral notification to the user but the response from the user is accepted and the questionnaire is sent. It can be carried out.

Hereinafter, a process performed when the transmission information transmitted from the data center 12 is questionnaire information will be described. First, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 10, a questionnaire target person extraction process in which the data center 12 extracts a questionnaire target person and generates questionnaire target person information will be described.

In step S81, the communication unit 51 receives the questionnaire ID, the questionnaire information, and the questionnaire selection information transmitted from the input terminal device 15, thereby acquiring the questionnaire ID, the questionnaire information, and the questionnaire selection information, and controlling the information. Supply to the section 52.

In step S82, the target-person extraction unit 61, based on the acquired questionnaire selection information and the target-person information recorded in the recording unit 53, the user who is the target of the questionnaire, that is, the user specified by the questionnaire selection information. To extract. In step S82, the same process as in step S12 of FIG. 8 is performed.

In step S83, the questionnaire information management unit 63 generates questionnaire target person information based on the extraction result of the user who is the target of the questionnaire in step S82. For example, the questionnaire information management unit 63 arranges the personal identification information and the terminal identification information of the user extracted as the subject of the questionnaire, and generates a list obtained in association with the questionnaire ID acquired in step S81 as the questionnaire target person information. To do.

When the questionnaire target person information is generated in this way, the questionnaire information management unit 63 generates information about the questionnaire including the questionnaire ID acquired in step S81, the questionnaire information, and the questionnaire selection information, and the generated questionnaire target person information. And are supplied to the recording unit 53 to instruct recording. At this time, the questionnaire information management unit 63 processes the questionnaire information as necessary to make the final questionnaire information.

In step S84, the recording unit 53 records the information about the questionnaire supplied from the questionnaire information management unit 63 and the questionnaire target person information, and the questionnaire target person extraction process is completed.

As described above, the data center 12 extracts the users who are the subjects of the questionnaire based on the subject information in which both the accuracy and the anonymity are compatible with each other, and generates the questionnaire subject information. As a result, it becomes possible to carry out a questionnaire that has both accuracy and anonymity.

Note that in the questionnaire target person extraction process, as in the notification target person extraction process described with reference to FIG. 8, the information input by each user is used to extract the user who is the target of the questionnaire. Or may not be used. Further, setting information such as opt-in and opt-out input by the individual user may be used for extracting the user who is the subject of the questionnaire.

<Explanation of questionnaire information acquisition processing and questionnaire information transmission processing>
When the questionnaire information and the questionnaire target person information are recorded in the data center 12 as described above, the portable terminal device 14 of each user acquires the questionnaire information at an appropriate timing.

Hereinafter, the questionnaire information acquisition process by the portable terminal device 14 and the questionnaire information transmission process by the data center 12 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 11.

For example, the questionnaire information acquisition process by the mobile terminal device 14 is started at the same timing as the notification acquisition process described with reference to FIG.

When the questionnaire information acquisition process is started, the process of step S111 is performed, and in accordance with the process of step S111, the data center 12 performs the process of step S121. These processes include step S41 of FIG. Since it is similar to the process of step S51, its description is omitted.

In step S122, the questionnaire information management unit 63 should be transmitted to the user based on the personal identification information, the terminal identification information, and the questionnaire target person information about each of the one or more pieces of questionnaire information recorded in the recording unit 53. Search for survey information.

That is, in step S122, the personal identification information and the terminal identification information received in step S121 are used to perform the same processing as step S52 in FIG. 9 to search for questionnaire information to be transmitted to the user.

The questionnaire information management unit 63 reads the questionnaire information to be transmitted to the user, which has been searched in this way, from the recording unit 53 and supplies it to the communication unit 51.

In step S123, the communication unit 51 transmits the questionnaire information supplied from the questionnaire information management unit 63 to the mobile terminal device 14 via the communication network 16.

In step S124, the questionnaire information management unit 63 controls the recording unit 53 to delete the personal identification information and the terminal identification information of the user from the questionnaire target person information of the questionnaire information transmitted to the user. To update.

When the questionnaire information is transmitted in step S123, the communication unit 91 of the mobile terminal device 14 receives the questionnaire information transmitted from the data center 12 and supplies the questionnaire information to the control unit 93 in step S112. The control unit 93 supplies the questionnaire information supplied from the communication unit 91 to the recording unit 95 for recording.

In addition, for example, in the running application program, the control unit 93 displays on the display unit 94 that there is new questionnaire information, and when the user gives an instruction to display the questionnaire information, the instructed questionnaire information is displayed. To be done.

That is, in step S113, the control unit 93 reads the questionnaire information instructed by the user from the recording unit 95, supplies the questionnaire information to the display unit 94, and displays the questionnaire information. When the questionnaire information is displayed in this way, the user operates the input unit 92 to answer the questions in the questionnaire. As a result, a signal corresponding to the user's operation is supplied from the input unit 92 to the control unit 93.

In step S114, the control unit 93 generates answer information indicating an answer to the question in the questionnaire based on the signal from the input unit 92, and supplies the answer information to the communication unit 91.

In step S115, the communication unit 91 transmits the reply information supplied from the control unit 93 to the data center 12 via the communication network 16, and the questionnaire information acquisition process ends.

When the response information is transmitted in this manner, the communication unit 51 of the data center 12 receives the response information transmitted from the portable terminal device 14 and supplies the response information to the control unit 52 in step S125.

In step S126, the totalization processing unit 64 performs totalization processing based on the response information supplied from the communication unit 51, and totalizes the answers to the questionnaire. When the questionnaire totalization processing is performed, the questionnaire information transmission processing ends.

More specifically, the timing at which the aggregation process is executed is the timing at which a predetermined period has elapsed since the start of the transmission of the questionnaire information to each mobile terminal device 14 or the fixed number of mobile terminal devices 14. The timing is such as when the answer information is obtained.

The tallying processing unit 64 performs tallying processing using all of the reply information obtained from the plurality of portable terminal devices 14 up to this point. The result of the tabulation process thus obtained is transmitted to the input terminal device 15 at an appropriate timing.

As described above, the portable terminal device 14 acquires the questionnaire information from the data center 12 at an appropriate timing, displays the acquired questionnaire information, and generates and transmits the reply information. In addition, the data center 12 performs a questionnaire totalization process based on the answer information received from the portable terminal device 14. As a result, it is possible to carry out a questionnaire that has both accuracy and anonymity.

In the questionnaire information acquisition process as well, similar to the notification acquisition process described with reference to FIG. 9, the timing of displaying the questionnaire information and the timing of generating the answer information do not necessarily have to be immediately after the reception of the questionnaire information. .. The questionnaire information may be transmitted in a push format, or the questionnaire information may be transmitted to the member store system 11.

Further, similar to the notification acquisition processing described with reference to FIG. 9, when displaying the questionnaire information, the personal information recorded in the mobile terminal device 14 or the like is used to display the name or the like in the questionnaire. You can Further, at the time of transmitting or displaying the questionnaire information, depending on the size of the display screen (display unit) of the portable terminal device 14 that receives the questionnaire information or the size of the portable terminal device 14 itself, the questionnaire to be displayed is displayed. The questionnaire items may be changed by increasing or decreasing the number of question items.

As described above, according to the information processing system to which the present technology is applied, it is possible to realize a notification and a questionnaire that achieve both accuracy and anonymity.

As described above, in the execution of the notification or the questionnaire, the target person information is used in the extraction of the user who is the notification target or the questionnaire execution target.

At this time, for example, if the start date and the number of doses of the drug are recorded as the subject information, it is possible to easily extract the users who are taking the specific drug in a predetermined period. In this case, the condition that a user has taken a specific drug within a predetermined period is the extraction condition indicated by the notification selection information or the questionnaire selection information.

It should be noted that it is possible to extract a user who is taking a specific drug in a predetermined period by using a dispensing date (dispensing date), a prescription delivery date, a prescription number of days instead of the start date and the number of doses. ..

Further, for example, when extracting users who have used a predetermined pharmacy or medical institution as the member store system 11 within the past n years, the prescription delivery date, the dispensing date, and the prescription delivery as the target person information. The medical institution name and the dispensing pharmacy identification information may be used.

In this case, the condition of being a user who uses a specific facility, that is, a specific pharmacy or medical institution within a predetermined number of years (n years) is an extraction condition indicated by the notification selection information or the questionnaire selection information.

In addition, regarding notification selection information and questionnaire selection information, when targeting drugs with the same drug substance and drug class as the specific drug indicated in the selection information, use the drug price listing code as the target information. do it. For example, by comparing the first 8 digits of the drug price listing code, it is possible to specify a drug having the same drug efficacy component, and by comparing the first 3 to 4 digits of the drug price listing code, it is possible to specify a drug of the same drug efficacy class. ..

Furthermore, since the notification selection information and the questionnaire selection information are recorded in the data center 12, the alarm function can be realized by using the selection information. In such a case, it is conceivable that the extraction condition indicated by the notification selection information or the questionnaire selection information may be, for example, a user who has taken a predetermined number of days since the start of taking a specific drug.

Thereby, for example, processing such as transmitting the notification information to the mobile terminal device 14 three days after starting to take the specific medicine can be realized. In this case, the target person extraction unit 61, at a specific timing every day, after the user who satisfies the extraction condition indicated by the notification selection information based on the notification selection information and the target selection information, that is, after starting to take the specific drug Search for a user three days later and send notification information.

Further, the following examples can be considered as application examples of the present technology.

For example, with regard to smoking cessation therapeutic agents, it is almost certain that when taking smoking, that is, starting smoking cessation, unpleasant symptoms (withdrawal symptoms) associated with smoking cessation occur. Therefore, it is effective to prevent a decrease in the medication rate by sending an appropriate explanation or a message for devising to alleviate the symptoms to the user at the timing of the first week, second week, etc. of the treatment. is there.

In the past, it was troublesome to personalize such patients based on their personal information and send them a guide, or to hand out a booklet at the first visit. In addition, although guidance and the like can be sent anonymously at once, guidance may be received to unnecessary users, and guidance may not be transmitted to each user at an appropriate timing. On the other hand, in the present technology, the notification information can be transmitted at an appropriate timing for each user.

Similarly, as a disease or condition that requires a continuous message, diabetes and the metabolic syndrome that is a reserve arm thereof exist. For these, not only do you take medication, but also the end of treatment (difficulty) when you forget your medication and your symptoms worsen, the suggestion of exercise other than prescription medication and receipt of exercise reports, dietary records, blood pressure, etc. The present technology can be used for such efforts as prevention of metabolic syndrome, such as reception of health care information of.

In recent years, mental illness (mental illness) has been on the rise. Drugs that act on the central nervous system, such as drugs for these mental illnesses (eg, AD/HD therapeutics), show a marked effect in those who work, but those who do not work do not work at all. May be good.

In order to determine whether or not a drug has an effect on mental illness, the medical staff wants feedback from the patient after a certain period of time (for example, 3 days after the start of taking the drug) after taking the drug. This is because it is desired to judge whether or not to take the remaining medicine (for example, the remaining 4 days of the prescribed 7 days) of the prescribed medicine according to the presence or absence of the effect.

Even in such a case, if the data having a close relationship with the personal information is used, the questionnaire can be properly conducted, but the data management is costly such as the safe management of the data. On the other hand, in the present technology, the subject information managed by the data center 12 is data that is sparsely related to the personal information, so feedback from a user who is a patient is used as response information at a lower management cost. Obtainable.

<Second Embodiment>
<Example of configuration of information processing system>
By the way, in the first embodiment, description has been made assuming that the input terminal device 15 and the data center 12 have the same administrator. However, by utilizing the fact that this technology enables notifications and questionnaires that have both anonymity and accuracy, it is possible to accept drafts of requesters different from the administrator of the data center 12 for notification information and questionnaire information. You can also

In such a case, the information processing system is configured as shown in FIG. 12, for example. Note that in FIG. 12, portions corresponding to those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

In the example shown in FIG. 12, in addition to the configuration of the information processing system shown in FIG. 1, the administrator terminal device 201 is further connected to the communication network 16.

In this example, the administrator terminal device 201 and the data center 12 are managed by the same administrator (management company), and the input terminal device 15 is managed by a client different from the administrator. Therefore, the administrator terminal device 201 confirms the contents of the notification information and the questionnaire information which are supplied from the input terminal device 15 to the data center 12 and requested to be transmitted. Then, after confirmation is made by the administrator terminal device 201, the data center 12 transmits the notification information and the questionnaire information.

In this case, the data center 12 also records the information about the input terminal device 15, that is, the client in the recording unit 53. For example, as the information about the client, the client's name, contact information, organization of the client, etc. are recorded in the recording unit 53. That is, the client is registered in advance in the data center 12. Further, in this case, the administrator terminal device 201 and the data center 12 may be connected via the local network.

The advantage of the information processing system shown in FIG. 12 is that the data center 12 that is the sender of the notification information or the questionnaire information does not have the personal information of the user, so that the personal information of the user who is the recipient of the notification information or the questionnaire information is It is guaranteed that the client has not passed. As a result, the psychological hurdle for the recipient to receive the notification information and the questionnaire information is reduced, and the message that the client wants to send, that is, the notification or the questionnaire, can be sent to a wider target group. This is useful as a transmission mechanism for messages related to highly sensitive information such as drug history information.

Therefore, in response to the situation of the recipient, medical institutions with more specialized information, insurers such as local governments and health insurance associations, clients such as insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, medical manufacturers, fitness clubs, etc. , It becomes possible to send more suitable notifications and questionnaires to the recipient.

<Configuration example of administrator terminal device>
The administrator terminal device 201 shown in FIG. 12 is configured as shown in FIG. 13, for example.

The input unit 232 includes, for example, a mouse, a keyboard, a touch panel superimposed on the display unit 234, and the like, and supplies a signal corresponding to an input operation by the administrator to the control unit 233.

The control unit 233 controls the operation of the entire administrator terminal device 201. For example, the control unit 233 confirms the notification information and the questionnaire information supplied from the communication unit 231, and supplies the confirmation result to the communication unit 231 to be transmitted.

The display unit 234 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display panel, and displays the information supplied from the control unit 233. The recording unit 235 records various information supplied from the control unit 233, and supplies the information to the control unit 233 as necessary.

<Explanation of notification request processing, notification target person extraction processing, and notification information confirmation processing>
Then, operation|movement of the information processing system shown in FIG. 12 is demonstrated.

First, the notification request process by the input terminal device 15, the notification target person extraction process by the data center 12, and the notification information confirmation process by the administrator terminal device 201 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

The notification request process by the input terminal device 15 is performed when the client requests the data center 12 to transmit notification information.

In step S151, the control unit 123 receives the input of the notification information and the notification selection information.

For example, the client operates the input unit 122 to input the notification information and the notification selection information. Since a signal according to the operation of the client is output from the input unit 122, the control unit 123 acquires the signal from the input unit 122 and generates notification information and notification selection information. The control unit 123 supplies the notification information and the notification selection information thus obtained, and the notification ID generated for the notification information to the communication unit 121.

In step S152, the communication unit 121 transmits the notification ID, the notification information, and the notification selection information supplied from the control unit 123 to the data center 12 via the communication network 16.

Then, in step S161, the communication unit 51 of the data center 12 receives the notification ID, the notification information, and the notification selection information transmitted from the input terminal device 15 and supplies them to the control unit 52.

When the notification selection information is obtained in this way, the processes of steps S162 and S163 are performed thereafter to extract the users to be notified and to generate the notification target person information. Note that the processing of these steps S162 and S163 is the same as the processing of steps S12 and S13 of FIG. 8, so description thereof will be omitted.

When the users to be notified are extracted in step S162, the target person extraction unit 61 supplies the number of extracted users, that is, the total number of extracted users, to the communication unit 51.

In step S164, the communication unit 51 transmits the number of users extracted in step S162 supplied from the subject extraction unit 61 to the input terminal device 15.

In step S153, the communication unit 121 of the input terminal device 15 receives the number of users transmitted from the data center 12 and supplies it to the control unit 123. The control unit 123 appropriately supplies and displays the received number of users on the display unit 124.

Thus, the client who saw the number of users can know how many users are the notification targets of the notification information to be transmitted. If the number of users is not sufficient, the client may cancel the request for transmitting the notification information or change the notification selection information.

Here, the case where only the number of users is notified from the data center 12 to the input terminal device 15 has been described as an example, but in addition, it can be obtained from the target person information such as the extracted male-female ratio and age distribution. The information may also be transmitted to the input terminal device 15.

When the number of users is notified, the client operates the input unit 122 to request transmission of notification information. Then, a signal corresponding to the operation of the client is output from the input unit 122, and the control unit 123 generates a notification request to request the transmission of the notification information based on the signal from the input unit 122. , To the communication unit 121. Here, the notification request includes, for example, a notification ID indicating notification information for requesting transmission.

In step S154, the communication unit 121 transmits the notification request supplied from the control unit 123 to the data center 12 via the communication network 16.

Then, in step S165, the communication unit 51 of the data center 12 receives the notification request transmitted from the input terminal device 15 and supplies the notification request to the control unit 52.

When the notification request is thus received, the control unit 52 communicates the received notification request and the notification information received in step S161, which is associated with the notification ID included in the notification request. 51 to instruct transmission to the administrator terminal device 201. At this time, the notification request is appropriately made to include the destination information when the information is transmitted to the input terminal device 15.

In step S166, the communication unit 51 transmits the notification request and the notification information supplied from the control unit 52 to the administrator terminal device 201 via the communication network 16.

That is, the control unit 52 controls the communication unit 51 to transmit the notification request and the notification information to the administrator terminal device 201, and requests the administrator terminal device 201 to confirm the notification information.

In step S171, the communication unit 231 of the administrator terminal device 201 receives the notification request and notification information transmitted from the data center 12 and supplies the notification request and notification information to the control unit 233.

The control unit 233 appropriately supplies the received notification information to the display unit 234 to display it, in response to the notification request.

In step S172, the control unit 233 confirms the received notification information in response to the request from the data center 12.

That is, when the notification information is displayed on the display unit 234, the administrator confirms the content of the displayed notification information and the like, and confirms whether the notification information is appropriate. Then, the administrator operates the input unit 232 to input the confirmation result of the notification information.

Here, whether the notification information is appropriate or not is that the notification information has a content that can be notified to the user.

The control unit 233 determines whether or not the notification information is appropriate, that is, whether the notification information can be transmitted to the portable terminal device 14 or the like, based on the signal corresponding to the operation of the administrator supplied from the input unit 232. Whether or not it is confirmed is generated, and information indicating the confirmation result is generated. The control unit 233 supplies the confirmation result of the notification information thus obtained, more specifically, the information indicating the confirmation result, to the communication unit 231.

In step S173, the communication unit 231 transmits the confirmation result of the notification information supplied from the control unit 233 to the data center 12 and the input terminal device 15 via the communication network 16, and the notification information confirmation process ends.

Then, in step S155, the communication unit 121 of the input terminal device 15 receives the confirmation result of the notification information transmitted from the administrator terminal device 201 and supplies it to the control unit 123.

In step S156, the control unit 123 supplies the confirmation result of the notification information supplied from the communication unit 121 to the display unit 124 to display it, and the notification request process ends.

At this time, the client may look at the confirmation result of the displayed notification information and then make a final transmission request of the notification information to the data center 12.

Further, in more detail, when the displayed confirmation result is a result indicating that the notification information is inappropriate, the notification information and the notification selection information are generated again, and the above-described processing is repeated. That is, the notification information and the notification selection information are regenerated until a confirmation result indicating that they are appropriate is obtained.

Further, in the data center 12, in step S167, the communication unit 51 receives the confirmation result of the notification information transmitted from the administrator terminal device 201, and supplies it to the control unit 52.

Then, when the received confirmation result is a confirmation result indicating that it is appropriate, the notification information management unit 62 of the control unit 52 notifies the notification including the notification ID, the notification information, and the notification selection information received in step S161. The information regarding the information and the notification target person information generated in step S163 are supplied to the recording unit 53 to instruct recording. At this time, the notification information management unit 62 processes the notification information as needed.

In step S168, the recording unit 53 records the information regarding the notification and the notification target person information supplied from the notification information management unit 62, and the notification target person extraction processing ends.

As described above, the input terminal device 15 generates the notification information and transmits it to the data center 12. Further, the data center 12 transmits the notification information transmitted from the input terminal device 15 to the administrator terminal device 201 for confirmation. In this way, by generating the notification information by the input terminal device 15 managed by the client different from the administrator of the data center 12, it is possible to perform a wider notification.

The generation and confirmation of the notification information may be performed at different timings. That is, for example, after receiving the notification information in step S171, the processes of step S172 and step S173 may be performed at a later date. Similarly, the processes of steps S154 to S156 may be performed not after the number of users is received in step S153 but several days after that.

Further, in the notification target person extraction process described with reference to FIG. 14, as in the notification target person extraction process described with reference to FIG. May or may not be used to extract the user. Furthermore, setting information such as opt-in and opt-out input by the individual user may be used to extract the user to be notified.

After the notification request process, notification target person extraction process, and notification information confirmation process as described above, the notification acquisition process and the notification information transmission process described with reference to FIG. 9 are performed at appropriate timings. That is, the user is notified of the notification information.
