(Constitution)
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of an action goal achievement support system 10 according to the present embodiment. The action goal achievement support system 10 is an example of a system (behavior goal achievement support system) that controls the presentation of information in order for a user such as an infant, a child, or the like to acquire a specific action (target action). A goal action is an action that achieves an action goal. Here, using the organizing and storing behavior as an example of the target behavior, it is mainly composed of devices installed in the house, and the presentation control of information (related to the change of the presented content) is performed in order to make the infant learn the organizing and storing behavior. The action goal achievement support system 10 that performs control) will be described. The guardian (relatives) of the infant can utilize the action goal achievement support system 10 in order to make the infant properly acquire the organizing and storing behavior after playing with the toy. The organizing and storing action is, for example, an action related to the storage of a plurality of articles, and as a specific example, an action of playing with a plurality of toys and then cleaning up all the plurality of toys. That is, the action goal achievement support system 10 is, as a specific example, a system that supports an infant to achieve the action goal of putting away toys.

As shown in FIG. 1, the action goal achievement support system 10 includes an information processing device 100, an imaging unit 101, a presentation unit 102, and a management presentation unit 103. Here, as an example, the information processing device 100, the imaging unit 101, and the presentation unit 102 are stationary devices in a facility such as a house, and the management presentation unit 103 is a portable device such as a smartphone or tablet. Explain as if there is. Further, the information processing device 100, the imaging unit 101, and the presentation unit 102 may be integrally mounted in one housing, but here, an example in which they are mounted in separate devices will be described.

The image pickup unit 101 is a camera (image sensor) capable of communicating with the information processing device 100, and generates image data about the predetermined space by taking an image of a predetermined space such as a room where an infant in the house plays. It has a function of transmitting to the information processing device 100.

The presentation unit 102 is, for example, a presentation device (a device for presenting presentation information) installed in or around a room where an infant plays, and is, for example, a playback device (for example, a display) capable of reproducing video content (for example, a moving image). (Renewable device) and the like. Audio may be attached to the video content, and the playback device may be provided with, for example, a speaker or the like, and the audio attached to the video content may be playable. The presentation unit 102 has a function of receiving a predetermined control signal from the information processing device 100 and executing playback of video content or the like according to the control content indicated by the control signal. When the presentation unit 102 does not hold the presentation information, the control signal is a signal including the presentation information, and when the presentation unit 102 holds the presentation information, the control signal specifies the presentation information. It can be a signal.

The management presentation unit 103 is an information terminal such as a smartphone or tablet carried by a guardian (relative) of an infant, and the management information including the presentation information presented by the presentation unit 102 (even if it is the presentation information itself). Good) has the function of presenting. That is, the management presentation unit 103 has a function of receiving a predetermined control signal from the information processing device 100 and executing playback of video content or the like according to the control content indicated by the control signal. When the management presentation unit 103 does not hold the presentation information, the control signal is a signal including the presentation information, and when the management presentation unit 103 holds the presentation information, the control signal holds the presentation information. It can be the signal you specify.

For example, the information processing device 100 analyzes the image data generated by the imaging by the imaging unit 101 to evaluate the behavior of the infant in order to make the infant learn the organizing and storing behavior, and the infant and the protection based on the evaluation result. It is a computer having a function of performing presentation control for presenting presentation information to a person. The presentation information is, for example, video content that praises the behavior related to the achievement of the goal by the infant according to the evaluation result. As the presentation control, the information processing device 100 determines the content of the presentation information at the end of the time zone (cleanup time zone) after the infant has played with the toy, and controls the presentation unit 102. Presenting presentation information after the infant has taken action (at the end of the tidying up time zone), according to operant conditioning theory, indicates to the infant how often he / she voluntarily performs the target action (organization / storage action). It will have an increasing effect. The presentation of presentation information acts as a reward (a stimulus that increases the spontaneous frequency of the infant's target behavior).

The information processing device 100 includes a communication interface (I / F), a memory, a processor (microprocessor), and the like. The communication I / F is a communication circuit or the like for wireless communication or wired communication. The information processing device 100 can communicate with, for example, the image pickup unit 101, the presentation unit 102, and the management presentation unit 103 by the communication I / F. The memory is a ROM that holds the program and data in advance, a RAM that is used for storing data or the like when the program is executed, and may include, for example, a non-volatile memory. The information processing device 100 may include a storage medium such as a hard disk in addition to the memory. The processor controls communication I / F and performs various processes by executing a program stored in the memory (action goal achievement support processing program for action goal achievement support processing). The information processing device 100 may have an input device (keyboard, touch panel, voice input device, etc.) and a display as a user interface for accepting operations by a guardian of an infant. Further, the information processing device 100 communicates with an information terminal (a smartphone, a tablet, etc. carried by a guardian of an infant) as a management presentation unit 103 using a communication I / F, so that the information terminal is converted to the information processing device 100. It may be used as a user interface (input device and display) of.

In terms of functionality, the information processing device 100 has the evaluation unit 110, as shown in FIG. 1, in order to realize a function of performing presentation control according to the evaluation result based on the image data generated by the image pickup by the image pickup unit 101. It also includes a presentation control unit 120.

The evaluation unit 110 is realized by, for example, a communication I / F of the information processing device 100 and a processor that executes an action goal achievement support processing program. The evaluation unit 110 has a function of acquiring an image (image data) generated by imaging when the user's behavior is completed from the imaging unit 101 and evaluating the user's behavior based on the image. This evaluation is realized by determining the achievement level, which is the degree to which the user has achieved the action goal. The evaluation unit 110 refers to the image data of the image of the room (predetermined space) in which the infant plays, which is captured by the imaging unit 101 at the end of the time zone (cleanup time zone) after the infant plays with the toy, for example. The behavior of the infant is evaluated by comparing it with the image data of the image for use. This evaluation is the determination of the achievement level based on the result of the comparison. The image data of the reference image is image data obtained by preliminarily capturing a predetermined space in a state where the action goal of putting away all the toys is achieved. A predetermined space such as a room where an infant plays includes a place where a plurality of articles (for example, toys) before being stored in the organizing and storing action (cleaning up) are located. The evaluation unit 110 holds the image data of the reference image in advance.

FIG. 2 shows an example of an image generated by the imaging unit 101 at the end of the time zone for cleaning up after the infant (user) has played with the toy. The image 210 shown in FIG. 2 is an image taken in a state where toys (building blocks) 210a to 210e are scattered (scattered state) on the floor of a predetermined space. The evaluation unit 110 determines the achievement level by comparing the image data related to the image (for example, the image 210) generated by the imaging unit 101 with the image data of the reference image. In the case of the example of FIG. 2, the reference image is an image taken in advance in a predetermined space in a state where no toys exist on the floor by storing all the toys in the storage place. In addition, furniture other than toys may be shown in the image 210 and the reference image. Furniture and the like can be removed, for example, by comparing both images (for example, extracting the difference between both images). The action goal of cleaning up all toys is achieved by achieving multiple sub-goals (eg, cleaning up one toy). Each of the sub-goals is to store a different number of articles from each other. The evaluation unit 110 may determine the achievement level according to the number of small goals achieved by the infant, for example. Specifically, the evaluation unit 110 can determine the achievement level based on the number of objects detected from the difference between the image generated by the imaging unit 101 and the reference image. Here, for convenience of explanation, the achievement level is set in the range of 0 to 10, and the number of toys that the infant should clean up is simplified to 10. In this case, for example, the result of subtracting the number of objects detected from the difference between the image generated by the imaging and the reference image by the imaging unit 101 from 10 can be determined as the achievement level. For example, if the infant can put away one toy, the number of objects detected from the difference between the images will be 9, and the evaluation unit 110 will determine the achievement level as 1. Further, if the infant can put away the two toys, the number of objects detected from the difference between the images will be 8, and the achievement level will be 2. Further, if the infant can clean up all 10 toys, the number of objects detected from the difference between the images will be 0, and the achievement level will be 10. When the achievement level is 10, the infant has achieved the action goal, and when the achievement level is 0 to 9, the infant has not achieved the action goal.

The evaluation unit 110 and the like in the information processing device 100 are asked about the end of the time zone for cleaning up after the infant has played (the time zone when the toys should be organized and stored), for example, the infant to the input device of the information processing device 100. It can be specified based on the operation by the guardian, voice input, etc. The cleanup time zone can occur, for example, once or multiple times daily. At the end of the tidying up time zone, the imaging unit 101 takes an image and the evaluation unit 110 evaluates the behavior of the infant.

The presentation control unit 120 is realized by, for example, a communication I / F of the information processing device 100 and a processor that executes an action goal achievement support processing program. As shown in FIG. 1, the presentation control unit 120 includes a recording unit 121 that records a control record as information used for determining the content of the presentation information, and an information determination unit 122 that determines the content of the presentation information. .. When the presentation control unit 120 receives the evaluation result (achievement level) from the evaluation unit 110, the presentation control unit 120 determines the content of the presentation information by the information determination unit 122 and causes the presentation unit 102 to present the presentation information. And a control signal is transmitted to the management presentation unit 103. The recording unit 121 and the information determination unit 122 are realized by a processor that executes an action goal achievement support processing program.

The recording unit 121 determines the time when the action (cleanup) toward the action goal by the user (infant) is completed (that is, the end time of each cleanup time zone) and the achievement level determined by the evaluation unit 110 based on the action. It has a function of recording the control record, which is the associated information, on a storage medium such as a memory or a hard disk.

The information determination unit 122 has a function of determining the content of the information for presentation. The information determination unit 122 determines the content of the information to be presented to the user according to the achievement level determined by the evaluation unit 110 in relation to the behavior of the user (infant). Specifically, the information determination unit 122 determines the presentation information corresponding to the achievement level with reference to the presentation information table held in the storage medium such as a memory.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a presentation information table. As shown in the figure, the presentation information table is a table in which the contents of the presentation information are associated with each other so that the contents differ depending on the achievement level that is the presentation condition. As a result, the information determination unit 122 determines the presentation information A as the content of the presentation information to be presented by the presentation unit 102 or the like if the achievement level determined by the evaluation unit 110 is 1, and the achievement level. If is 10, the presentation information E is determined. The content of each presentation information is information related to the output of devices (displays, speakers, etc.) that act on human perception (vision, hearing, etc.), such as video and audio. Each presentation information includes, for example, any one of characters, sounds, and images of characters. In addition, the content of each presentation information is determined, for example, in accordance with the operant conditioning theory, with the intention of influencing the infant to increase the frequency of voluntarily performing the target behavior (organization and storage behavior). .. In the example of FIG. 3, achievement level 1 corresponding to being able to put away the first toy is associated with presentation information A, which is a video praising "I was able to put away one toy". Has been done. As described above, it is useful that the content of the presentation information includes a predetermined keyword (“done”, “well done”, etc.) for compliment. This video may be accompanied by, for example, a voice praising the character, "I was able to attach one toy." In addition, achievement level 2 corresponding to being able to put away the second toy is associated with presentation information B, which is a video praising "I was able to put away two toys". As a result, the information determination unit 122 indicates the number of small goals (the number of toys that have been cleaned up) that the user has achieved by the action under certain conditions (for example, when the number is 3 or less). The content of the presentation information will be determined so that the content includes (2, etc.). As a result, as the user improves, the number of achieved small goals represented by the presentation information increases. By making the user aware of the number of small goals achieved in this way, it can be expected that the user's motivation for improvement will increase.

The content of the presentation information determined by the information determination unit 122 based on the achievement level determined by the evaluation unit 110 is recorded by the recording unit 121 so as to be included in the control record in association with the achievement level. ..

FIG. 4 shows an example of control recording recorded in a storage medium such as a memory or a hard disk of the information processing device 100 by the recording unit 121 in the presentation control unit 120. The control record illustrated in FIG. 4 shows the date and time at the end of each cleanup time zone, the achievement level (achievement level) of the action goal of the infant cleanup (organization and storage behavior), and the presentation determined by the information determination unit 122. This is information including the contents of the information. The degree of achievement of the action goal is indicated by the evaluation result (achievement level) of the evaluation unit 110 at the end of the tidying up time zone. In the example of FIG. 4, the achievement level of the infant becomes 1 on September 1, becomes 3 on September 2, becomes 9 on September 3, and becomes 9 on September 4. It shows that the action goal was achieved at 10. The presentation control unit 120 may have a function of transmitting a control record to the management presentation unit 103. In this case, the guardian or the like of the infant can refer to the control record via the management presentation unit 103. For example, the management presentation unit 103 may present management information including presentation information and the latest control record.

(motion)
Hereinafter, an operation example of the action goal achievement support system 10 having the above configuration will be described.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the action goal achievement support system 10. Hereinafter, the operation of the action goal achievement support system 10 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, for convenience of explanation, the action goal achievement support system 10 will be utilized in order for the guardian of the infant to learn the organizing and storing behavior of putting away the toys after playing with the toys. Then, it is assumed that there is a time zone once a day for the infant to put away the toys after playing with the toys.

At the end of the tidying up time zone, the imaging unit 101 generates an image (image data) by imaging a predetermined space (a space near the floor of the room where the infant plays) (step S11). The information processing device 100 determines the achievement level indicating the degree of achievement of the behavioral goal of the infant by acquiring and analyzing the image data generated from the imaging unit 101 by the evaluation unit 110 (step S12). The achievement level is determined by comparing the image related to the acquired image data with the reference image in the state where there is no toy on the floor.

Next, the information determination unit 122 of the presentation control unit 120 determines the content of the presentation information according to the achievement level determined by the evaluation unit 110 based on the presentation information table (step S13).

Next, the presentation control unit 120 sends a control signal representing the presentation information to the presentation unit 102 so that the presentation unit 102 presents the presentation information of the content determined in step S13 (step S14). As a result, the presentation unit 102 presents the presentation information determined by the information determination unit 122 when the infant's cleanup behavior is completed (at the end of the cleanup time zone). FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of presentation of presentation information by the presentation unit 102 when an infant can put away one toy and the achievement level is evaluated to be 1. FIG. 6 shows an example in which the presentation unit 102 includes the display 311 and the speakers 312a and 312b. As in the example of FIG. 6, the presentation unit 102 reproduces (displays) video content in which the character A313 praises the infant's cleanup behavior, such as "I was able to keep one toy" based on the presentation information A. , Voice reproduction, etc.) can realize the presentation of presentation information. Then, the infant is stimulated (that is, praised) by being presented with the presentation information.

Further, the presentation control unit 120 transmits the presentation information to the management presentation unit 103 so that the management presentation unit 103 presents the presentation information of the content determined in step S13 (step S15). As a result, the management presentation unit 103 separated from the presentation unit 102 presents management information (which may be the presentation information itself) including the same content as the presentation information presented by the presentation unit 102. Therefore, the guardian of the infant can recognize that the infant has performed a complimented action by checking the information for presentation. The presentation of management information by the management presentation unit 103 can increase the possibility that the infant will be praised by the guardian, and as a result, the infant will be more likely to acquire the target behavior.

As described above, the action goal achievement support system 10 determines the content of the presentation information according to the evaluation result (achievement level) of the behavior of the infant, and presents the determined presentation information. As a result, the achievement level, which is the evaluation result, changes according to the improvement of the infant's behavior toward the action goal, and the content of the presentation information presented corresponding to the achievement level also changes. Toddlers will receive effective stimulation. In the action goal achievement support system 10, not only the alternative evaluation of achievement or non-achievement for the action goal that is difficult to achieve, but also the goal is subdivided into small goals and evaluated according to the achievement level of a plurality of stages, and the small goal is evaluated. By complimenting the achievement of the above, the user's behavior is affirmed. This presentation can increase the likelihood of voluntary action. Therefore, the action goal achievement support system 10 is useful for making a user such as an infant effectively acquire a target action (behavior related to the achievement of the action goal).

(Embodiment 2)
Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the presentation control unit 120 in the above-mentioned action goal achievement support system 10 is partially modified will be described. In the action goal achievement support system 10 according to the present embodiment, the content of the presentation information is changed when the achievement level (achievement level) of the action goal by the user does not change. Since the action goal achievement support system according to the present embodiment is the same as the configuration shown in the first embodiment (see FIG. 1), the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment will be used here. Here, the points not particularly described are the same as those in the first embodiment.

The information determination unit 122 determines the content of the information to be presented to the user according to the achievement level determined by the evaluation unit 110. In the present embodiment, the information determination unit 122 refers to the presentation information table in which the number, the presentation condition, and the presentation information are associated with each other as shown in FIG. 7, and the recording unit 121 records as necessary. The information to be presented is determined with reference to the control record (record showing the past achievement level, etc.). More specifically, the information determination unit 122 confirms whether or not each presentation condition in the presentation information table is satisfied in ascending order of numbers, and provides the user with the content of the presentation information corresponding to the first satisfied presentation condition. It is determined as the presentation information used for the presentation of. The presentation information table includes not only the value of one achievement level finally determined by the evaluation unit 110, but also each achievement level determined from one time before to a predetermined number of times (three times in the example of FIG. 7). The presentation conditions using the values are also shown. In the example of FIG. 7, for example, as the content of the presentation information to be presented when the presentation condition that the goal achievement (achievement level 10) is satisfied for three consecutive days is satisfied, "cleaning up all the toys for three consecutive days is possible. Information X for presentation, which is a video complimenting "I was able to do it," is defined. As a result, the information determination unit 122 refers to the control record, and the achievement level determined for one action of the user is determined for each action for a predetermined number of times following the one action of the user. If it matches the achieved achievement level, it has a function of determining the content of the presentation information so as to praise the achievement of the small goal. Further, in the example of FIG. 7, for example, when the presentation condition that the achievement level is the same for three consecutive days and the achievement level is improved from three days ago is satisfied, the content of the presentation information to be presented is "toys. Information Y for presentation, which is a video that praises, has been set, saying, "You can clean up a lot more than three days ago." This is just one example. It is useful to define presentation conditions using past achievement levels so that the presentation information can change when the number of consecutive achievements of the same achievement level increases. For example, the information determination unit 122 refers to the control record, and the achievement level determined in response to one action of the user is determined in response to each action for a predetermined number of times before the one action of the user. If it matches the achieved achievement level, the achievement level determined in response to the user's one action (for example, the achievement level that lasted for 3 days) and the evaluation unit 110 in relation to the user's past behavior It may have a function of determining the content of the presentation information based on the determined achievement level (for example, the achievement level before the same achievement level lasts for 3 days).

The content of the presentation information determined by the information determination unit 122 by the recording unit 121 is recorded so as to be included in the control record in association with the achievement level. The control record is then referred to by the information determination unit 122.

FIG. 8 shows an example of control recording recorded by the recording unit 121. In the example of FIG. 8, the achievement level of the infant became 3 on September 2nd and September 3rd, and it is shown that the presentation information C was presented on both days. Since the achievement level was 3 even on September 4, and the same achievement level was obtained for three consecutive days, the presentation condition of No. 2 in the presentation information table of FIG. 7 was satisfied, and the presentation information Y was released on September 4. It is presented. In addition, the achievement level of the infant reached 10 on September 12th and September 13th, indicating that the presentation information E was presented on both days. Since the achievement level was 10 and the goal was achieved for 3 consecutive days even on September 14, the presentation condition of No. 1 in the presentation information table of FIG. 7 was satisfied, and the presentation information X was presented on September 14. ing. Inspired by such presentation, the user may be able to repeatedly achieve the goal and acquire the goal behavior.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the action goal achievement support system 10 according to the present embodiment. In the figure, the same reference numerals are given to the procedures (steps) similar to the operation of the action goal achievement support system 10 according to the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

At the end of the tidying up time zone, the imaging unit 101 images a predetermined space to generate an image (step S11), and the evaluation unit 110 determines the achievement level indicating the degree of achievement of the infant's behavioral goal (step S12). ).

Next, the information determination unit 122 of the presentation control unit 120 is used for presentation corresponding to the corresponding number (the presentation condition is satisfied) in the presentation information table based on the control record and the achievement level determined by the evaluation unit 110. The content of the information is determined (step S13a).

Next, the presentation control unit 120 controls the presentation unit 102 and the management presentation unit 103 to present the presentation information of the content determined in step S13 (steps S14 and S15).

As described above, the action goal achievement support system 10 according to the present embodiment determines the content of the presentation information according to the evaluation result (achievement level) of the behavior of the infant a plurality of times, and uses the determined presentation information. Can be presented. As a result, when it is difficult to achieve the action goal and the same achievement level continues several times, the content of the presentation information presented to the user can change, which is effective for the user. This can increase the motivation of users to improve. Therefore, the action goal achievement support system 10 is useful for making a user such as an infant effectively acquire a target action (behavior related to the achievement of the action goal).

(Other embodiments, etc.)
Although the action goal achievement support system 10 has been described above with reference to the first and second embodiments, it goes without saying that the above-described embodiment is only an example and various changes, additions, omissions, etc. are possible.

In the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the action goal achievement support system 10 supports the infant to acquire the target action (organization and storage action) for achieving the action goal of putting away all the toys. However, the target action is not limited to the organizing and storing action, and may be, for example, getting up early or any action. Further, in determining the achievement level as the evaluation of the behavior by the evaluation unit 110, it is not necessary that the number of toys cleared by the infant and the achievement level have a one-to-one correspondence. It is possible to set a sub-goal in which the action goal is subdivided in an arbitrary unit, and the evaluation unit 110 can determine the achievement level so as to have a certain relationship with the achievement of the sub-goal. The user of the action goal achievement support system 10 is not necessarily limited to infants, children, etc., and may be adults, for example.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the action goal achievement support system 10, the evaluation unit 110 determines the achievement level for reference with the image related to the image data acquired from the imaging unit 101 and the state where there is no toy on the floor. An example is shown by comparing with the image. However, even if the reference image is an image generated by the imaging unit 101 capturing a predetermined space (a space including a floor in which the toys are scattered) in a state before the infant plays with the toy and starts cleaning up, for example. Good. In this case, the evaluation unit 110 may determine the achievement level so that the larger the difference between the image captured and the reference image thereof, for example, at the end of the tidying up time zone, the higher the achievement level. Further, when the storage location of each toy is predetermined, the imaging unit 101 may capture a plurality of images by distinguishing the individual storage locations. In this case, the evaluation unit 110 can determine how many toys have been put away depending on whether or not the toys are shown in each image corresponding to each storage location, and determine the achievement level according to the number of toys.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the action goal achievement support system 10 is mainly composed of devices installed in a house. However, the action goal achievement support system 10 may or may not include the devices installed in the house, may be configured to include the devices installed outside the house, and may be portable.

However, the presenting unit 102 is sufficient as long as it is a device capable of presenting information so as to be recognized by the user by any of visual and auditory senses, such as a projector, a television receiver, a tablet, and an audio reproduction device. You may. Further, the information processing device 100 and the presentation unit 102 may be an integrated device (for example, an information terminal such as a tablet or a smartphone).

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the presentation information includes information praising the achievement of the user's small goal. However, the presentation information may be information that praises the improvement of the user's behavior, and the presentation information is a stimulus that increases the spontaneous frequency of the action (operant action) executed before the praise by including the content of the praise. Can act as a (reward). The presentation information may be information preferred by the user (for example, a character or other video, music, etc. that can generate a pleasant emotion) as long as it can act as a reward.

In addition, another device may share a part of the functions of the information processing device 100 in the action goal achievement support system 10 shown in the above-described embodiment. The other device may be a computer installed at a remote location with respect to the information processing device 100, such as a server outside the house. Further, the execution order of the operation procedure (see FIGS. 5 and 9) of the above-mentioned action goal achievement support system 10 is not necessarily limited to the order as described above, and is not deviating from the gist of the invention. The execution order can be changed or a part of it can be omitted. Further, the action goal achievement support process including all or part of the procedure shown in FIGS. 5 and 9 (for example, steps S12, S13, S13a, etc.) is realized by the hardware of the information processing device 100 or another device. However, it may be realized by using software. The processing by the software is realized by the processor included in the information processing device 100 or another device executing the action goal achievement support processing program stored in the memory.

For example, by installing the distributed action goal achievement support processing program in the device and causing the processor of the device to execute it, it is possible to cause the device to perform the action goal achievement support processing.

Further, the scope of the present invention also includes a form realized by arbitrarily combining the components and functions shown in the above-described embodiments and modifications.

In addition, various comprehensive or specific aspects of the present invention include one or more combinations of devices, systems, methods, integrated circuits, computer programs, computer-readable recording media, and the like.

Hereinafter, the configuration, modification mode, effect, etc. of the action goal achievement support system according to one aspect of the present invention, the action goal achievement support method and the action goal achievement support processing program used in this action goal achievement support system will be described.

(1) The action goal achievement support system according to one aspect of the present invention is the action goal achievement support system 10 that supports the achievement of the action goal, and is based on an image generated by imaging when the user's action is completed. The evaluation unit 110 determines the achievement level, which is the degree to which the user has achieved the action goal by the action, and the information for presentation to the user according to the achievement level determined by the evaluation unit 110 in relation to the user's action. It includes an information determination unit 122 that determines the content of the user, and a presentation unit 102 that presents presentation information determined by the information determination unit 122 in relation to the user's behavior when the behavior is completed.

With this configuration, it is possible to support the user to acquire a specific behavior by influencing the user by presenting the presentation information. Even if the action goal is not completely achieved, the presentation information is determined according to the achievement level (achievement level), and the presentation information to the user increases the reward (that is, the spontaneous frequency of the user's voluntary action). Can act effectively as a stimulus). This can increase the possibility that the user can efficiently learn the behavior of the action goal.

(2) For example, the action goal achievement support system 10 further includes an imaging unit 101 that generates an image by imaging, and the evaluation unit 110 images an image generated by imaging a predetermined space during the user's action by the imaging unit 101. And, the achievement level may be determined according to the comparison result with the image obtained by preliminarily capturing the predetermined space in the state where the action goal is achieved.

This makes it possible to evaluate the user's behavior (determine the achievement level) by a relatively easy method of comparing the image obtained by imaging with the reference image. Therefore, for example, it may be possible to suppress the cost and construct the action goal achievement support system 10.

(3) For example, the presentation information may include information that praises the user's behavior.

As a result, the presentation of the presentation information acts as a stimulus (reward) for increasing the spontaneous frequency of the action executed before the presentation.

(4) For example, the presentation information may include a predetermined keyword for compliment.

As a result, the user receives words that positively evaluate the user's behavior, so that the frequency with which the user voluntarily performs the behavior can be increased.

(5) For example, the action goal is achieved by achieving a plurality of sub-goals, the evaluation unit 110 determines the achievement level according to the number of sub-goals achieved by the user by the action, and the information determination unit 122 determines the achievement level. The content of the presentation information may be determined so that the content differs for each achievement level determined by the evaluation unit 110 in relation to the user's behavior.

As a result, the content of the presentation information can change with respect to the achievement of the small goal by the user, which can be an appropriate stimulus and increase the possibility that the user takes an action toward the achievement of the action goal. Therefore, the acquisition of the target behavior by the user can be promoted.

(6) For example, the information determination unit 122 may determine the content of the presentation information so as to include information indicating the number of small goals achieved by the user under certain conditions.

As a result, the user is made aware of the number of achievements of the small goal, so that the user's motivation for improvement can be increased.

(7) For example, the action goal achievement support system 10 further includes a recording unit 121 that records the time when the user's action is completed and the achievement level determined by the evaluation unit 110 in relation to the action. , The information determination unit 122 refers to the recorded content (control record) of the recording unit 121, and the achievement level determined by the evaluation unit 110 in relation to one action of the user is set before the one action of the user. If it matches the achievement level determined by the evaluation unit 110 in relation to each subsequent action for a predetermined number of times, the content of the presentation information is determined so as to praise the continuation of the achievement of the small goal. You may do it.

As a result, when the same achievement level continues several times, it is possible to prevent the presentation of the same content of presentation information from being repeated continuously.

(8) For example, the action goal achievement support system 10 further includes a recording unit 121 that records the time when the user's action is completed and the achievement level determined by the evaluation unit 110 in relation to the action. The information determination unit 122 refers to the recorded content (control record) of the recording unit 121, and the achievement level determined by the evaluation unit 110 in relation to one action of the user is before the one action of the user. If it matches the achievement level determined by the evaluation unit 110 in relation to each action for a predetermined number of times, the achievement level determined by the evaluation unit 110 in relation to the one action of the user and the user's past The content of the presentation information may be determined based on the achievement level determined by the evaluation unit 110 in relation to the behavior of the above.

As a result, when it is difficult to achieve the action goal and the same achievement level continues several times, it is suppressed that the presentation information of the same content is continuously presented, and the presentation information is presented to the user. The content of the information can change. For this reason, the user can receive an effective stimulus and the motivation for improvement of the user can be increased.

(9) For example, the action for the action goal may be an organized storage action related to the storage of a plurality of articles, and each of the plurality of small goals may be to store a different number of articles from each other.

As a result, the action goal achievement support system 10 can effectively teach a user such as an infant to put away toys, for example.

(10) For example, the action goal achievement support system 10 may further include a management presentation unit 103 that presents management information including the same content as the presentation information presented by the presentation unit 102, which is separated from the presentation unit 102. ..

As a result, it may be possible for the management presentation unit 103, which is different from the presentation unit 102 for presenting to the user such as an infant, to present the management information to the guardian, the manager, or the like of the user. For example, even if the guardian of the infant cannot see the presentation unit 102 together with the infant when the infant takes an action for achieving the goal (achievement of a small goal, etc.) such as tidying up, protection is provided. The person can know the information including the presentation information related to the behavior of the infant from the management information through the management presentation unit 103. Therefore, it may be possible for the guardian, administrator, etc. of the user to grasp the behavior of the user such as an infant from a positive viewpoint and understand the infant, etc., as in the method of the learning story. ..

(11) For example, the presentation information may include any one of characters, voice, and an image of a character.

As a result, the presentation information is recognized by the user, so that the presentation of the presentation information can effectively act as a stimulus for increasing the spontaneous frequency of the user's spontaneous behavior.

(12) The action goal achievement support method according to one aspect of the present invention is an action goal achievement support method that supports the achievement of the action goal, and is based on an image generated by imaging when the user's action is completed. , For presentation to the user according to the evaluation step (for example, step S12) for determining the achievement level which is the degree to which the user has achieved the action goal by the action, and the achievement level determined in the evaluation step in relation to the user's action. An information determination step (for example, steps S13 and S13a) for determining the content of information and a presentation step (for example, step S14) for presenting presentation information determined in the information determination step in relation to the user's behavior when the behavior is completed. ) And.

As a result, even if the action goal is not completely achieved, the content of the presentation information can change according to the degree of achievement (achievement level) of the action goal, which is effective as a stimulus for the user to increase the spontaneous frequency of spontaneous actions. Can act on. Therefore, the possibility that the user can learn the action of the action goal (the possibility that the action goal can be achieved) can be increased.

(13) The action goal achievement support processing program according to one aspect of the present invention is an action goal achievement support processing program for causing a computer to execute an action goal achievement support process that supports the achievement of the action goal, and achieves the action goal. The support process includes an evaluation step (for example, step S12) for determining an achievement level, which is the degree to which the user has achieved the action goal by the action, based on the image generated by imaging when the user's action is completed, and the user's. It includes an information determination step (for example, steps S13, S13a) that determines the content of the information to be presented to the user according to the achievement level determined in the evaluation step in relation to the action.

If this action goal achievement support processing program is installed in the information processing device 100, which is a computer equipped with a microprocessor, the information processing device 100 executes the action goal achievement support processing, and the contents determined by the information processing device 100 are executed. By presenting the presentation information by the presentation unit 102, it may be possible to appropriately support the user in acquiring the behavior of the action target.
