[Configuration of Car Lifestyle Support System]
First, with reference to FIG. 1, an outline of a car lifestyle support system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a car lifestyle support system to which a virtual currency management device and method according to an embodiment of the present invention are applied.

As shown in FIG. 1, in a car lifestyle support system 1, a guest (user) 4, an ambassador (local revitalization cooperator) 5, a host 6, and a vehicle 7 are connected via a communication line (Internet line) 3 as a network. are connected to a management device 2 (corresponding to a virtual currency management device). The car lifestyle support system 1 is a system using connected services. In particular, the car lifestyle support system 1 is a service (hereinafter referred to as "car lifestyle support (referred to as “Services”). In this way, real discoveries, experiences, and growth are generated through people-to-people interaction, and the mind and body of car users are revitalized.

As a management server, the management device 2 forms the core of the car lifestyle support service. This management device 2 basically receives data from the mobile terminals 10, 11 and 12 of the guest 4, ambassador 5 and host 6, and transmits corresponding data. For example, when the management device 2 receives a request for calculation of the route (guide route) of the vehicle 7, the management device 2 calculates the route by itself or requests another service site to calculate the route. The result is transmitted to the portable terminals 10, 11 and 12 of the guest 4, ambassador 5 and host 6. Note that the management device 2 is, for example, a server device managed by a local government in the area described above.

Guest 4 is a person who seeks a new experience through this car lifestyle support service, and is a car driver who visits an area away from his own car life area. The guest 4 exchanges information with the management device 2 via a mobile terminal 10 such as a smart phone. Thereby, the guest 4 can receive support from the management device 2 for activities in the area. In this case, the experience of the guest 4 can be transmitted to a friend through a cooperation function such as SNS.

The ambassadors 5 are people or groups who live in the area and want to spread their hobbies and charms of the area, and are cooperators who help in various ways from the viewpoint of revitalizing the area. Since the ambassador 5 is required to be well-informed about the area, it is examined in advance whether or not he/she is qualified, and the qualified person is registered in the management device 2 as the ambassador 5 . Also, the ambassador 5 exchanges information with the management device 2 via the mobile terminal 11 such as a smart phone.

The host 6 is a person selected from among the ambassadors 5 to accompany the guest 4 and guide them around the area. The characteristics of the host 6 are used to guide the guest 4, and the guest 4 is given "value that makes one want to experience" and "power to excite". The host 6 exchanges information with the management device 2 via a mobile terminal 12 such as a smart phone.

In the car lifestyle support service, the vehicle 7 of the guest 4 or the host 6 is used. In other words, the guest 4 either rides with the host 6 in his own vehicle 7 and receives guidance, or rides with the host 6 in the vehicle 7 and receives guidance. In this case, by utilizing the fact that the vehicle 7 is equipped with the navigation device 9, the communication function of the mobile terminal 10 or the mobile terminal 12 is used when receiving the accompanying guidance from the host 6. 9 displays are available. Therefore, the guest 4 and the host 6 can view the information from the management device 2 together through the display section of the navigation device 9 inside the vehicle 7 .

[Configuration of management device, mobile terminal, etc.]
Next, with reference to FIG. 2, configurations of the management device 2, the mobile terminal 10 of the guest 4, and the vehicle 7 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described. As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 10 and the measuring device 70 mounted on the vehicle 7 can communicate by a short-range wireless communication technology (for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark)), and the mobile terminal 10 and the measuring device 70 and the management device 2 can communicate wirelessly via a communication line (Internet line) 3 .

The measuring device 70 is a computer device including a processor 70a, a memory 70b, a communication circuit 70c, etc., and is configured to perform processing by the processor 70a executing various programs stored in the memory 70b. The measuring device 70 is connected to various sensor devices mounted on the vehicle 7, and the processor 70a receives measurement data from the sensor devices and stores the measurement data in the memory 70b. The processor 70a also transmits processed data obtained by processing the measurement data to the management device 2 via the communication circuit 70c.

The sensor device of the vehicle 7 includes a heart rate measuring device 71 attached to the steering wheel and a positioning device 72 . The heartbeat measuring device 71 functions as a biosensor device. The heartbeat measuring device 71 measures the heartbeat variability (electrocardiographic waveform) of the driver (basically, the guest 4) and outputs the measurement data as biological data (heartbeat data). The positioning device 72 acquires the vehicle position using satellite positioning using a GPS (Global Positioning System) or autonomous positioning using a gyro sensor or the like.

As the biosensor device, instead of or in addition to the heartbeat measuring device 71, a resistance measuring device or a camera may be used. The resistance measuring device measures the skin resistance of the guest 4 and outputs the measured data as biological data (resistance data). Since the contact resistance of the skin changes depending on the perspiration state, the resistance data represents the perspiration state of the guest 4 . Also, the camera captures an image of the guest 4 and outputs the captured image data. The measurement device 70 analyzes the image data to obtain biometric data such as the pupil diameter of the guest 4, eye movement, upper body behavior including the position and orientation of the head and shoulders, and the facial expression of the guest 4. can do.

In a tense state in which a person feels mental stress, heart rate fluctuations occur, perspiration is promoted, the pupil diameter increases, and the magnitude of eye movement increases. In addition, when a person is in a tense state, the behavior of the upper body, including the position and orientation of the head and shoulders, increases when the vehicle accelerates, decelerates, or turns. In addition, when a person is in a tense state, changes appear in the facial expression (displacement distance of a specific part, etc.). Therefore, the measuring device 70 can estimate the guest's 4 state of mind (that is, the degree of tension) by analyzing the above-described biometric data. For example, the measuring device 70 measures the magnitude of biological data (frequency obtained by frequency analysis of heart rate variability, skin resistance, pupil diameter, eye movement, behavior of the upper body, movement distance of a specific part of the face). Based on this, the degree of tension can be estimated. The measuring device 70 stores the psychological state analysis result data estimated based on the biological data and the vehicle position data in the memory 70b as needed, and transmits these data to the management device 2 .

Moreover, although the measuring device 70 is mounted in the vehicle 7 in this embodiment, the measuring device 70 may be configured as a portable biological information measuring device so that the guest 4 can always carry it.

The mobile terminal 10 analyzes the voice of the guest 4 for a predetermined period (for example, 2 to 6 seconds) and estimates the emotional state of the guest 4 . In this embodiment, the mobile terminal 10 establishes a correlation between predetermined audio parameters (in this example, magnitude of fundamental frequency, intensity at fundamental frequency) and each emotion (in this example, joy, sadness, peace of mind, and anger). is stored in the memory 10b. The mobile terminal 10 is configured to estimate the proportion of each emotion by analyzing the voice based on this table. The mobile terminal 10 estimates the degree of excitement by comparing a predetermined voice parameter (pitch frequency in this example) with a predetermined value, and estimates the intensity of each emotion by multiplying the degree of excitement by the estimated ratio of each emotion. do. For example, the mobile terminal 10 sums the values obtained by multiplying the coefficient set for each emotion by the estimated strength of each emotion, and calculates the degree of mental activity (or health) based on this total value.

The mobile terminal 10 as a voice analysis device always picks up the voice uttered by the guest 4 via a microphone. In addition, the mobile terminal 10 intermittently (every predetermined time (for example, every 10 minutes) and in response to a command from the management device 2) asks the guest 4 to utter a question (for example, " How was it?") is emitted from the speaker. Then, the mobile terminal 10 picks up the voice uttered by the guest 4 in response to this question. The mobile terminal 10 analyzes the acquired voice data and stores the voice analysis result (emotional data representing the emotional state) together with the acquisition time in the memory 10b. Note that such an application for voice analysis is provided by PST Corporation under the product name of "MIMOSYS (registered trademark)", for example.

In addition, the mobile terminal 10 functions as a positioning device using a positioning application. The mobile terminal 10 acquires the current position of the mobile terminal 10 based on communication with surrounding communication stations or based on satellite positioning using GPS, and records it in the memory 10b as current position data. The mobile terminal 10 transmits current location data to the management device 2 at a predetermined time.

In addition, the mobile terminal 10 functions as a communication analysis device using a communication analysis application. The portable terminal 10 analyzes the text data transmitted by the guest 4 using the above-described e-mail function, SNS communication function, and browser function by natural language processing (text mining). In addition, the mobile terminal 10 may similarly analyze responses (for example, email replies, approval responses such as “Like”, comments posted, etc.) from friends and the like to the transmission by the guest 4 . The mobile terminal 10 transmits the analysis result to the management device 2 .

The mobile terminal 10 as a communication analysis device extracts specific words (“fun”, “happy”, “ "Sad", "Tough", etc.) are extracted, and the emotional state of the guest 4 is analyzed from the frequency of appearance of these words. The expression table stores a large number of expressions corresponding to each of emotions. Therefore, the communication analysis result includes emotion data indicating the emotional state of the guest 4 (joy, sadness, relief, and anger in this example) at the time of transmission. Emotion data includes the ratio of four emotions and the intensity of each. In addition, the portable terminal 10 may analyze an emotional state from the image data which the guest 4 transmits or posts.

[How to find well-being value]
Next, the degree of mental activity of the guest 4 when performing various activities (activity, action, experience, sightseeing, play, etc.) by the car lifestyle support service according to the embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "well-being value" ) will be described.

Here, "well-being" means that the guest 4 negates his own negative feelings, acquires a sense of self-fulfillment, and acquires a sense of self-affirmation in relation to society (others). Self-esteem involves feeling needed and useful in society. In the following, "well-being" will be abbreviated as "WB". In addition, “life active” is a state in which Guest 4 continuously engages in activities (WB activities) that increase the degree of well-being (WB value) by interacting with society through car life (ownership and driving of a vehicle). means. The accumulation of WB activities or WB experiences in life by the guest 4 living in a life-active state can be defined as “well-aging”.

First, when the guest 4 transmits the participation consent information and the questionnaire response information from the mobile terminal 10 to the management device 2, using the communication function (for example, SNS communication function, e-mail function) of the mobile terminal 10, car lifestyle You can let your friends know about your participation in the support service. That is, the guest 4 can express his/her expectations for the service using text data or image data, and transmit this expression via the communication line 3 . At this time, the mobile terminal 10 analyzes the data and response content transmitted by the guest 4 and transmits analysis result data (communication analysis result) to the management device 2 . Moreover, the portable terminal 10 analyzes the voice of the guest 4 and transmits analysis result data (sound analysis result) at predetermined time intervals and based on commands from the management device 2 . The management device 2 can use the analysis result data thus received to estimate the WB value.

Next, when the guest 4 drives the vehicle 7 and heads for the area where the car lifestyle support service is provided, the management device 2 collects the measurement device 70 of the vehicle 7 and the analysis result data ( speech analysis result), and the received analysis result data can be used to estimate the WB value.

Next, when the guest 4 arrives at the area where the car lifestyle support service is provided, the guest 4 performs at least one or more activities under the guidance of the host 6 . The management device 2 transmits individual question information to the mobile terminal 10 of the guest 4 after each activity ends. This individual question information is for investigating the degree of satisfaction of the guest 4 with respect to each activity. Guest 4 operates personal digital assistant 10, answers a plurality of questions which individual question information contains, and creates individual evaluation information. A plurality of questions are set so that it can be estimated from the individual evaluation information how much the guest 4 has gained a sense of accomplishment, a sense of self-fulfillment, and a sense of self-affirmation through each activity. The individual evaluation information includes an evaluation level of subjective satisfaction of the guest 4 for each question. The guest 4 selects, for example, a subjective evaluation level from multiple choices for each question. When receiving such individual evaluation information from the portable terminal 10 of the guest 4, the management device 2 can use the evaluation data included in this individual evaluation information to estimate the WB value.

In addition, in accordance with the transmission of the individual question information, the management device 2 (for example, within a predetermined time from the transmission of the individual question information, within a predetermined time from the reception of the individual evaluation information from the guest 4, etc.), to the mobile terminal 10 to send commands for speech analysis. When receiving this command, the mobile terminal 10 issues a question to the guest 4, acquires voice data of the guest 4, analyzes the voice data, and estimates an emotional state. The mobile terminal 10 returns the analysis result data (speech analysis result) to the management device 2, and the management device 2 can use the received analysis result data to estimate the WB value.

Also, the guest 4 can use the communication function (particularly, the SNS communication function) of the mobile terminal 10 to share the excitement of each activity with a friend. That is, the guest 4 can express the excitement and satisfaction obtained in each activity using text data and image data, and transmit this expression via the communication line 3 . The management device 2 can receive the analysis result data (communication analysis result) for the transmission data from the portable terminal 10 and use this analysis result data for estimating the WB value.

Also, when the guest 4 drives the vehicle 7 to move between activities, the management device 2 receives the analysis result data (speech analysis result) from the measurement device 70 of the vehicle 7 and the mobile terminal 10, and Analysis result data can be used to estimate the WB value.

Next, when the car lifestyle support service ends, the guest 4 drives the vehicle 7 to go home. Result data (speech analysis results) can be received and the received analysis result data can be used to estimate the WB value.

Next, the management device 2 asks the mobile terminal 10 of the guest 4 at the time of payment for the car lifestyle support service or after a predetermined time has passed since the end of the car lifestyle support service (for example, after about one to several days have passed). Send information. This overall question information is for investigating the guest 4's overall satisfaction with this service. The guest 4 operates the mobile terminal 10 to create overall evaluation information by answering a plurality of questions included in the overall question information in the same manner as the individual question information described above, and returns this overall evaluation information. When receiving the overall evaluation information from the mobile terminal 10 of the guest 4, the management device 2 can use the evaluation data included in the overall evaluation information to estimate the WB value. In addition, the management device 2 may transmit a command for voice analysis in the case of the general question information as well as the individual question information. In response to this command, the mobile terminal 10 executes voice analysis processing and returns analysis result data (speech analysis result) to the management device 2 .

Next, data for estimating the WB value in this embodiment will be described.

First, the biometric data provided by the measuring device 70 of the vehicle 7 can be used to estimate the WB value. Biometric data are obtained by passive measurements of the guest 4 and represent the objective physiological state of the guest 4 . The biometric data is measured constantly or intermittently while the guest 4 is driving the vehicle 7 . The measuring device 70 analyzes the state of mind (degree of tension) of the guest 4 using the biometric data, and outputs analysis result data. Based on the analysis result data output from the measuring device 70 in this way, the management device 2 estimates the WB value for each measurement time (this WB value may be referred to as "WB _B estimated value"). This WB _B estimate ranges, for example, from 0 (lowest WB value) to 100 (highest WB value). For example, the WB _B estimate is estimated to be the highest (WB _B estimate=100) at the medium optimal tension (tension=5), and the WB _B estimate decreases as the distance from the optimum value increases. In addition, since the analysis information of the psychological state obtained from biometric data is not tied directly with the guest's 4 emotions (emotions, anger, sorrow, pleasure, etc.), the WB _B estimated value may have low reliability.

Also, in order to estimate the WB value, it is possible to use analysis result data or emotional data provided by the mobile terminal 10 as a voice analysis device. The emotional data is obtained by analyzing the voice of the guest 4 interactively emitted between the voice analysis device and the guest 4 and represents the objective emotional state of the guest 4 . Emotion data is the estimation result of estimating the emotion of the guest 4 with high accuracy. As described above, the portable terminal 10 outputs emotion data including the percentage of emotions and the degree of mental soundness as analysis result data. Also, the management device 2 estimates the WB value for each measurement time based on the analysis result data output from the portable terminal 10 in this way (this WB value may be referred to as "WB _V estimated value"). This WB _V estimate, for example, ranges from 0 to 100, as does the WB _B value. The management device 2 can employ, for example, the degree of mental health (0 to 100) as the WB _V estimated value. In addition, the WB _V estimated value estimated from voice analysis is an objective estimated value directly tied to the guest's 4 feelings, and is generally highly reliable.

Also, analysis result data generated by the mobile terminal 10 as a communication analysis device can be used to estimate the WB value. However, since this analysis result data is obtained by analyzing the subjective transmission data of the guest 4, it may not necessarily represent the objective emotional state of the guest 4 (the transmission data may differ from the thoughts of the guest 4). for example). As described above, the mobile terminal 10 outputs emotion data as analysis result data through communication analysis processing. Also, the management device 2 estimates the WB value for each analysis period based on the analysis result data output from the mobile terminal 10 in this way (this WB value may be referred to as "WB _C estimated value"). The WB _C estimate, for example, ranges from 0 to 100, as does the WB _B estimate. The management device 2 can, for example, multiply four emotions by the ratio of each emotion, the intensity of each emotion, and the coefficient set for each emotion, and adopt the total value of these as the WB _C estimated value. .

Also, subjective evaluation data by guests 4 for each activity can be used to estimate the WB value. In order to obtain evaluation data, it is necessary to complete the implementation period of each activity. Since the evaluation data is information subjectively evaluated by the guest 4, it is less objective than the data obtained using the measurement device 70 of the vehicle 7 or the voice analysis device. However, by analyzing the rating data, it is possible to infer a higher emotional state of the guest 4 for each activity. The management device 2 receives the evaluation data from the mobile terminal 10 and estimates the WB value based on the total value of each question (this WB value may be referred to as "WB _E estimated value"). For example, the ratio (p/m×100) of the total score p of all questions (maximum score of m for all questions) to the full score can be used as the WB _E estimate.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the management device 2 estimates a WB value that is more realistic by combining multiple types of data. Except for the WB _V estimate, the WB _B estimate, WB _C estimate, and WB _E estimate do not necessarily reflect Guest 4's objective emotional data. Therefore, in this embodiment, in estimating the WB value, the management device 2 corrects the WB _B estimated value, the WB _C estimated value, and the WB _E estimated value with the WB _V estimated value as the emotion index value. For example, the management device 2 calculates the WB value from Equation 1 below.
WB value = (coefficient k _v × WB _V estimated value)
+Σ(coefficient kn×WBn estimated value× _WBV estimated value)+Σ(adjustment value Mn) Equation 1
(However, n = B, C, E)

That is, the value obtained by multiplying the WB _V estimated value by the coefficient _kv , the value obtained by multiplying each WBn estimated value by the coefficient kn and the WB _V estimated value, and the adjustment value Mn corresponding to each Wn estimated value. A WB value is calculated by totaling. Note that it is not necessary to use all of the estimates other than the WB _V estimate. Therefore, the values of the coefficients k _v and kn and the value of the adjustment value Mn can be set differently according to the combination of types of data used.

[Usage form of virtual currency]
Next, a usage form of the virtual currency in the car lifestyle support service according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

First, with reference to FIG. 4, basic distribution of virtual currency in the car lifestyle support service according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 4 , the management device 2 manages virtual currency that circulates in the area where the car lifestyle support service according to the present embodiment is provided, and exchanges this virtual currency with a plurality of guests 4 . Specifically, the management device 2 generates virtual currency for the guest 4 and stores this virtual currency in association with the guest 4 . In one example, the management device 2 generates and stores virtual currency for the guest 4 when the guest 4 purchases the virtual currency with legal tender. In addition, the management device 2 stores the expenses incurred in relation to the car lifestyle support service in association with the guest 4 so that the guest 4 can pay with virtual currency (for example, so that the usage fee for this service can be settled). process virtual currency. In this case, the management device 2 reduces the virtual currency stored in association with the guest 4 by the amount corresponding to the amount paid by the guest 4 .

Next, with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the virtual currency set based on the WB value obtained as described above in the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

As a premise, in the present embodiment, the management device 2 sets a life active fee, which is a fee according to the magnitude of the WB value. That is, the management device 2 sets the life activity fee based on the degree of mental activity (WB value) of the guest 4 as a result of the guest 4 performing an activity in the car lifestyle support service. Specifically, the management device 2 sets the life active fee higher as the WB value of the guest 4 increases. Fundamentally, such life active fees are conceptual and ideological, and are defined by virtual currency.

In addition, in this embodiment, the management device 2 sets an experience provision fee according to the experience provided by the host 6 to the guest 4 in the car lifestyle support service. This experience providing fee is a fee corresponding to the experience (including knowledge and skills) related to the area, which the host 6 provides to the guest 4 along with the guidance in the area. Also, the experience provision fee is set in advance in consideration of the value and rarity of such experience. In this case, the higher the value and rarity of the experience, the higher the experience provision fee is set. It should be noted that the experience provision fee does not correspond to the personnel expenses of the host 6 or the service provision fee. Fundamentally, such an experience provision fee is conceptual and ideological, so it is regulated by a virtual currency in the same way as the life activity fee. If the experience provision fee is defined in virtual currency in this way, the guest 4 can appropriately feel that the car lifestyle support service according to the present embodiment provides an experience (intangible object) rather than an object. .

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of virtual currency processing based on the life activity fee and the experience provision fee set in this way. Specifically, FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of virtual currency processing when the life active fee of the guest 4 is greater than the experience providing fee of the host 6 . In this case, the management device 2 generates a virtual currency corresponding to the difference between the life active fee and the experience provision fee (see the portion indicated by the dashed line in FIG. 5), and the virtual currency is set as the life active fee. The virtual currency is given to the guest 4, that is, the virtual currency is stored in association with the guest 4.例文帳に追加Specifically, the management device 2 increases the virtual currency given to the guest 4 as the difference between the life active fee and the experience providing fee increases.

On the other hand, FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of virtual currency processing when the life active fee of the guest 4 is equal to or less than the experience providing fee of the host 6 . In this case, the management device 2 reduces the value of the virtual currency stored in association with the guest 4 for whom the life active fee is set based on the difference between the life active fee and the experience providing fee (the dashed line in FIG. 6). (see the part marked with ). Specifically, the management device 2 greatly reduces the value of the virtual currency as the difference between the life activity fee and the experience provision fee increases. In one example, the management device 2 decreases the value of the virtual currency of the guest 4 by reducing the conversion rate of the virtual currency to the legal currency. In another example, the management device 2 increases the amount of virtual currency required for the same service, etc., for the virtual currency of the corresponding guest 4 (for example, the service that was originally 10 points of virtual currency will be worth 12 points of the virtual currency), reducing the value of the virtual currency.

In addition, in the car lifestyle support service, various charges to be paid by the guest 4 in the area are generated. For example, these various fees include fuel costs for the vehicle 7, fees for renting the vehicle 7 in the area (rental fees and insurance fees), and fees required for executing activities (fishing pond usage fee, mushroom fee, etc.). hunting participation fees, etc.), fees for renting tools necessary for executing activities, rewards for guiding guests 4 (equivalent to labor costs), meal costs, accommodation costs, and the like. Basically, it is better to pay the fee as exemplified here in legal currency instead of virtual currency as described above.

Next, FIG. 7 is a virtual currency processing flow according to an embodiment of the present invention. This processing flow is executed by the management device 2 (more specifically, this processing flow is realized by executing a program stored in the memory 20b by the processor 20a of the management device 2).

First, in step S11, the management device 2 acquires various kinds of information generated by the mobile terminal 10 of the guest 4 and the measuring device 70 of the vehicle 7, which are targets of this processing flow. Specifically, the management device 2 acquires at least the data necessary to obtain the WB value. That is, the management device 2 receives biological data transmitted from the measuring device 70 of the vehicle 7, analysis result data (speech analysis results) or emotional data transmitted from the portable terminal 10 as a speech analysis device, and portable data as a communication analysis device. At least one or more of the analysis result data (communication analysis result) transmitted from the terminal 10 and the subjective evaluation data of the activity by the guest 4 transmitted from the mobile terminal 10 are acquired.

Next, in step S12, the management device 2 obtains the WB value of the guest 4 that is the target of this processing flow. Specifically, the management device 2 receives the WB _B estimated value based on the biometric data from the measuring device 70, the analysis result data (speech analysis result) from the mobile terminal 10, or the WB _V estimated value based on the emotion data, the mobile terminal 10 A WB _C estimated value based on the analysis result data (communication analysis result) from the portable terminal 10 and a WB _E estimated value based on the subjective evaluation data from the portable terminal 10 are obtained, respectively, and a WB value is obtained based on these. For example, the management device 2 calculates the WB value using Equation 1 described above.

Next, in step S13, the management device 2 determines whether or not the car lifestyle support service has been provided. In a typical example, when the guest 4 performs an operation on the mobile terminal 10 for paying for the car lifestyle support service (more specifically, the operation signal corresponding to the payment is the mobile terminal 10 to the management device 2), it is determined that the car lifestyle support service has been provided. In this case (step S13: Yes), the management device 2 proceeds to step S14. On the other hand, if the provision of the car lifestyle support service has not ended (step S13: No), the management device 2 returns to step S11.

Next, in step S14, the management device 2 sets the life active fee of the guest 4 who is the target of this processing flow based on the WB value obtained in step S12. Basically, the management device 2 sets a higher life active fee as the WB value of the guest 4 increases. For example, the management device 2 refers to a map in which the life active fee to be set for the WB value is defined in advance, and sets the life active fee according to the WB value obtained in step S12. In addition, the management device 2 performs processing (for example, normalization processing of WB values for each guest 4) for alleviating variations in the magnitude of WB values among a plurality of guests 4 (individual differences), and then performs a life cycle. An active fee may be set.

Next, in step S15, the management device 2 reads the experience fee stored in the memory 20b and sets this experience fee. As described above, the experience provision fee is set in advance in consideration of the value and rarity of the experience provided by the host 6 to the guest 4 along with the guidance in the area, and is stored in the memory 20b of the management device 2. stored in Also, the experience providing fee may be set according to the content of the car lifestyle support service provided to the guest 4 (destination course, content and number of activities to be performed, etc.). In this case, the management device 2 may set the experience provision fee according to the destination course and activity selected by the guest 4 who is the target of this processing flow.

Next, in step S16, the management device 2 determines whether or not the life activity fee set in step S14 is greater than the experience provision fee set in step S15. As a result, if the life activity fee is greater than the experience provision fee (step S16: Yes), the management device 2 proceeds to step S17. In this step S17, the management device 2 generates a virtual currency corresponding to the difference between the life active fee and the experience providing fee, and grants this virtual currency to the guest 4, that is, the subject of this processing flow. The virtual currency is stored in association with the guest 4 who is present. In this case, the management device 2 increases the virtual currency given to the guest 4 as the difference between the life active fee and the experience providing fee increases. After that, the management device 2 terminates this processing flow.

On the other hand, if the life active fee is equal to or less than the experience providing fee (step S16: No), the management device 2 proceeds to step S18. In this step S18, the management device 2 reduces the value of the virtual currency stored in association with the guest 4 who is the target of this processing flow based on the difference between the life active fee and the experience providing fee. In this case, the management device 2 greatly reduces the value of the virtual currency as the difference between the life activity fee and the experience provision fee increases. For example, the management device 2 reduces the conversion rate of the virtual currency to the legal currency for the virtual currency of the guest 4 who is the target of this processing flow, or reduces the conversion rate of the virtual currency necessary for the same service etc. Decrease the value of the virtual currency by increasing the amount. After that, the management device 2 terminates this processing flow.

[Action and effect]
As described above, in the present embodiment, the management device 2 allows the guest 4 to perform an activity in a predetermined area under the guidance of the host 6 who is a resident of the area. The activity level (WB value) is obtained, the life activity fee is set according to the magnitude of this mental activity level, and the experience provision fee is set according to the experience provided by the host 6 to the guest 4 along with the guidance. Then, when the life active fee is larger than the experience providing fee, a virtual currency corresponding to the difference is generated, and this virtual currency is stored and managed in association with the guest 4.例文帳に追加

According to this embodiment, the management device 2 converts the life active fee according to the degree of mental activity of the guest 4 into an experience providing fee according to the experience provided by the host 6 to the guest 4 along with the guidance. , the virtual currency is given to the guest 4, which encourages the guest 4 to further use the car lifestyle support service and encourage the guest 4 to consume the service. As a result, the involvement of the guests 4 with the local community can be deepened, the minds and bodies of the guests 4 can be effectively activated, and the area can be effectively activated.

As described above, according to the management device 2 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to appropriately operate the car lifestyle support service by using the virtual currency. That is, by using the virtual currency, the guest 4 and the host 6 do not feel annoyed or hesitate. You can properly realize the payment of the cost for this service. In addition, in this embodiment, since virtual currency is exchanged based on the experience provision fee according to the experience of the host 6, the guest 4 can appropriately feel that this service provides the experience of local residents. be able to.

Moreover, according to this embodiment, the management device 2 decreases the value of the virtual currency stored in association with the guest 4 based on the difference when the life active fee is equal to or less than the experience providing fee. As a result, even if the mental activity level of guest 4 is negative (for example, if the content of the activity performed by the guest is deeply emotional or serious, the mental activity level will be negative). However, since it is reflected in the virtual currency instead of the legal currency, it is possible to appropriately prevent the guest 4 and the host 6 from being annoyed.

Further, according to this embodiment, the management device 2 processes the virtual currency stored in association with the guest 4 so that the guest 4 can pay the costs incurred in relation to the execution of the activity with the virtual currency. . As a result, the expenses incurred in connection with the execution of activities in the area can be paid in virtual currency, so that it is possible to effectively encourage the guests 4 to further use the service and to consume the service.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, the management device 2 stores one or more biometric data indicating the physiological state of the guest 4 during execution of the activity, and emotion data based on the voice uttered by the guest 4 during execution of the activity. , and evaluation data that is the degree of subjective evaluation of the guest 4 with respect to the activity. Thereby, the guest's 4 mental activity degree can be calculated|required with sufficient precision.
