Hereinafter, embodiments of an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and an information processing program disclosed in the present application will be described in detail based on the drawings. In addition, this invention is not limited by this Example.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a system according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, this system has user terminals 10a and 10b, a worker terminal 15, and an information processing device 100. FIG. User terminals 10 a and 10 b are interconnected with information processing apparatus 100 via network 50 . The worker terminal 15 is interconnected with the information processing device 100 via the network 50 .

In the example shown in FIG. 1, user terminals 10a and 10b and a worker terminal 15 are shown, but this system may have other user terminals and other worker terminals.

In addition, in the present embodiment, cosmetics are used as an example of the "object" to adjust the ingredients, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can be applied to ingredients such as pharmaceuticals, medical products, perfumes, etc. The same applies when making adjustments.

The user terminals 10a and 10b are terminal devices used by users who perform sensory evaluation of cosmetics, and correspond to PCs (Personal Computers), notebook PCs, tablet terminals, and the like. In the following description, the user terminals 10a and 10b are collectively referred to as "user terminal 10" as appropriate.

The user operates the user terminal 10 to input the sensory evaluation result to the user terminal 10 and transmits the sensory evaluation information to the information processing apparatus 100 . FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of sensory evaluation information. As shown in FIG. 2, the sensory evaluation information includes prescription number, affiliation, characteristics (profile), and sensory evaluation.

A prescription number is information that uniquely identifies a cosmetic product. The affiliation is information for distinguishing whether the user has performed the sensory evaluation of the cosmetics as an individual or as a representative of a certain distributor. When the affiliation is "individual", it indicates that the user performed the sensory evaluation of cosmetics as an individual. When the identification information of the distributor is set in the affiliation, it indicates that the user performed the sensory evaluation of the cosmetics as the responsible person of the distributor. In the following description, the identification information of the distributor will be referred to as "distributor identification information". A distributor is an example of a "group" to which a user belongs.

A feature is an indication of a user's profile. The features include the user's age, gender, and skin type. The sensory evaluation includes evaluation items such as bleeding feeling, close contact feeling, refreshing feeling, elasticity feeling, moist feeling, and lasting feeling, which are associated with numerical values. The larger the numerical value, the more the user gives the sense corresponding to the evaluation item. On the other hand, the smaller the numerical value, the more difficult it is for the user to feel the evaluation item.

The user designates the sensuality desired in cosmetics by numerical values. For example, if the user wants to enhance the feeling of bleeding, the user sets a larger value for the feeling of bleeding. On the other hand, when it is desired to weaken the feeling of bleeding, the numerical value of the feeling of bleeding is set to a small value.

The worker terminal 15 is a terminal device used by a worker who adjusts ingredients of cosmetics, and corresponds to a PC, a notebook PC, a tablet terminal, or the like. A worker operates the worker terminal 15 to access the information processing device 100 when adjusting the ingredients of cosmetics. For example, the information of the prescription number of the cosmetics to be adjusted is transmitted to the information processing device 100 .

When the information processing apparatus 100 receives the sensory evaluation information from the user terminal 10, the information processing apparatus 100 corrects the numerical value of the sensory evaluation included in the sensory evaluation information based on the correction information corresponding to the characteristics of the user. The information processing device 100 searches for raw materials that satisfy the corrected sensory evaluation requirements, and notifies the worker terminal 15 of information on the search results. The information processing device 100 adds raw materials to cosmetics according to instructions from the worker terminal 15 .

In this way, the information processing apparatus 100 corrects the user's sensory evaluation with the correction information according to the characteristics of the user, and mixes the raw materials satisfying the corrected sensory evaluation requirements with the cosmetics to be adjusted. decide. As a result, it is possible to adjust the ingredients of cosmetics to meet the needs of a plurality of users without being biased toward the tastes of some users.

Next, an example of the configuration of the information processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the information processing apparatus according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3 , this information processing apparatus 100 has a communication section 110 , an input section 120 , a display section 130 , a storage section 140 and a control section 150 .

The communication unit 110 is a processing unit that performs data communication with the user terminal 10 and the worker terminal 15 via the network 50 . A control unit 150 , which will be described later, exchanges data with the user terminal 10 and the worker terminal 15 via the communication unit 110 . Communication unit 110 is an example of a communication device.

The input unit 120 is an input device for inputting various kinds of information to the control unit 150 of the information processing device 100 .

The worker may operate the input unit 120 to input information regarding adjustment of ingredients of cosmetics.

The display unit 130 is a display device that displays information output from the control unit 150 . Display unit 130 corresponds to, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, a touch panel, or the like.

The storage unit 140 has a raw material DB (Data Base) 141 , a reference sensory evaluation table 142 , an evaluation result table 143 , an individual correction table 144 , a vendor correction table 145 and an adjustment result table 146 . The storage unit 140 corresponds to semiconductor memory devices such as RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), flash memory, and storage devices such as HDD (Hard Disk Drive).

The raw material DB 141 is a DB that holds various types of information regarding cosmetic raw materials. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the raw material DB. As shown in FIG. 4, this raw material DB 141 has raw material name, manufacturer name, pH, appearance, solubility, and sensory evaluation.

The raw material name indicates the name of the raw material. In this embodiment, the raw material name is also used as information for uniquely identifying the raw material. The maker name indicates the name of the maker that manufactures the raw material. pH indicates whether the raw material is acidic or alkaline. Appearance indicates whether the raw material is a powder (solid), liquid, or other appearance. Solubility indicates whether or not a raw material dissolves well in water.

The sensory evaluation includes evaluation items such as bleeding feeling, close contact feeling, refreshing feeling, elasticity feeling, moist feeling, and lasting feeling. Here, in the sensory evaluation of the raw material DB 141, numerical values indicate the degree of influence on each evaluation item when the corresponding raw material is blended into the cosmetic. The larger the numerical value, the more the user gives the sense corresponding to the evaluation item. On the other hand, the smaller the numerical value, the more difficult it is for the user to feel the evaluation item. An evaluation item with a numerical value of "0" indicates that there is no change in the corresponding sensory perception.

For example, in raw material 1A in FIG. 0”, and the sense of continuity is “0”. Therefore, by blending raw material 1A in cosmetics, it gives a feeling of bleeding of about "1" and a feeling of adhesion of about "0.5".

The reference sensory evaluation table 142 is a table that holds sensory evaluation information that serves as a reference for each cosmetic. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the reference sensory evaluation table. As shown in FIG. 5, this reference sensory evaluation table 142 has prescription numbers, basic compounding orders, and reference sensory evaluations. A prescription number is information that uniquely identifies a cosmetic product. The basic blending order indicates the raw materials blended in the cosmetic and the blending order of each raw material to be blended.

The reference sensory evaluation is a preset sensory evaluation for cosmetics corresponding to the prescription number. Cosmetics corresponding to prescription numbers are formulated with a plurality of raw materials so as to satisfy the requirements of such standard sensory evaluation.

The evaluation result table 143 is a table that stores a plurality of sensory evaluation result information transmitted from the user terminal 10 . FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the evaluation result table. As shown in FIG. 6, this evaluation result table 143 has prescription numbers, affiliations, characteristics, and sensory evaluations. Descriptions of prescription numbers, affiliations, features, and sensory evaluations are the same as those described with reference to FIG.

The personal correction table 144 is a table holding correction information for correcting the user's sensory evaluation. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of an individual correction table. As shown in FIG. 7, this personal correction table 144 associates features with correction information. A feature is an indication of a user's profile. The features include the user's age, gender, and skin type.

The correction information includes correction coefficients α, β, γ, δ, ε, and ζ for bleeding feeling, close contact feeling, refreshing feeling, elasticity feeling, moist feeling, and lasting feeling. For example, the correction information corresponding to the feature <age “teens”, gender “female”, skin type “skin type (1)”> is “α(1)-1, β(1)-1, γ(1 )-1, δ(1)-1, ε(1)-1, ζ(1)-1”.

For example, if the user of the relevant feature tends to overestimate the numerical value of a certain evaluation item compared to users of other features (overestimation tendency), the corresponding correction coefficient is set to 1. Set to a value less than (but greater than 0). On the other hand, if the user of the relevant feature has a tendency to underestimate the numerical value of a certain evaluation item compared to the users of other features (underestimation tendency), the corresponding correction coefficient is set to 1. Set to a value equal to or greater than

Here, the relationship between sensory evaluation before correction and sensory evaluation after correction will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the relationship between sensory evaluation before correction and sensory evaluation after correction. For example, the correction information is assumed to be correction information 70A, and the sensory evaluation before correction is assumed to be sensory evaluation 70B. The sensory evaluation 70B includes <bleeding feeling “X1”, close contact feeling “X2”, refreshing feeling “X3”, elastic feeling “X4”, moist feeling “X5”, and lasting feeling “X6”>.

A corrected sensory evaluation 70C is calculated by correcting the sensory evaluation 70B with the correction information 70A. For example, the corrected sensory evaluation 70C is calculated by multiplying the numerical value of each evaluation item of the sensory evaluation 70B by the corresponding correction coefficient.

Returning to the description of FIG. The distributor correction table 145 is a table that holds correction information for correcting the sensory evaluation of the distributor. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of a vendor correction table. As shown in FIG. 9, this distributor correction table associates distributor identification information with correction information. The distributor identification information is information that uniquely identifies the distributor to which the user belongs.

The correction information includes correction coefficients α, β, γ, δ, ε, and ζ for bleeding feeling, close contact feeling, refreshing feeling, elasticity feeling, moist feeling, and lasting feeling. For example, the correction information corresponding to the seller identification information "B101" is "α-X1, β-X1, γ-X1, δ-X1, ε-X1, ζ-X1". Each correction coefficient included in the correction information is set in advance according to the distributor.

Returning to the description of FIG. The control unit 150 has a reception unit 151 , a correction unit 152 and an adjustment unit 153 . The control unit 150 can be realized by a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), or the like. The control unit 150 can also be realized by hardwired logic such as ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) and FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

The reception unit 151 is a processing unit that receives sensory evaluation information from the user terminal 10 . The reception unit 151 stores sensory evaluation information in the evaluation result table 143 .

The correction unit 152 is a processing unit that corrects the user's sensory evaluation based on correction information corresponding to the user's characteristics. An example of the processing of the correction unit 152 will be described below.

Upon receiving access from the worker terminal 15 and receiving the prescription number information, the correction unit 152 generates screen information shown in FIG. 10 and causes the worker terminal 15 to display it. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of screen information generated by the correction unit; The screen information 30 shown in FIG. 10 has an area 30A, a table 30B, an adjustment panel 30C, and an enter button 31. FIG.

30 A of area|regions are areas|regions which display the prescription number received from the worker terminal 15. FIG. In the following description, the prescription number received from the worker terminal 15 is referred to as "target prescription number".

Table 30B associates evaluation items, reference sensory evaluations, and corrected sensory evaluations. Evaluation items are evaluation items included in sensory evaluation, and include bleeding feeling, close contact feeling, refreshing feeling, elasticity feeling, moist feeling, and lasting feeling.

The reference sensory evaluation indicates the numerical value of the current sensory evaluation (provisional sensory evaluation) corresponding to the target prescription number. The correction unit 152 compares the target prescription number with the reference sensory evaluation table 142 and acquires the reference sensory evaluation corresponding to the target prescription number. The correction unit 152 sets each numerical value of the acquired reference sensory evaluation to the reference sensory evaluation of the table 30B.

The corrected sensory evaluation is a sensory evaluation obtained by correcting the sensory evaluation by the user. The correction unit 152 performs the following processing to calculate the numerical value of the corrected sensory evaluation. The correction unit 152 compares the target prescription number with the evaluation result table 143 to search for attributes, features, profiles, and sensory evaluations corresponding to the target prescription number. A feature corresponding to a target prescription number is referred to as a "target feature". The sensory evaluation corresponding to the target prescription number is referred to as "target sensory evaluation".

A case where the affiliation is "individual" will be described. The correction unit 152 compares the target feature with the individual correction table 144 to acquire correction information corresponding to the target feature. The correction unit 152 calculates the corrected sensory evaluation by multiplying each numerical value of the target sensory evaluation by each correction coefficient of the correction information. For example, as described with reference to FIG. 8, the correction unit 152 multiplies each numerical value of the target sensory evaluation by each correction coefficient of the correction information. The correcting unit 152 may round off decimal places in each numerical value of the corrected sensory evaluation. The correction unit 152 sets each numerical value of the calculated corrected sensory evaluation to the corrected sensory evaluation of the table 30B.

A case where the affiliation is "seller identification information" will be described. The correction unit 152 compares the distributor identification information with the distributor correction table 145 to obtain correction information corresponding to the distributor identification information. The correction unit 152 calculates the corrected sensory evaluation by multiplying each numerical value of the target sensory evaluation by each correction coefficient of the correction information. For example, the correcting unit 152 may round off decimal places in each numerical value of the corrected sensory evaluation. The correction unit 152 sets each numerical value of the calculated corrected sensory evaluation to the corrected sensory evaluation of the table 30B.

The adjustment panel 30C is used when adjusting the reference sensory evaluation of each evaluation item. The correction unit 152 sets a value obtained by subtracting the numerical value of the corrected sensory evaluation from the numerical value of the reference sensory evaluation value as the adjustment value of the adjustment panel 30C. For example, since the bleeding sensation of the reference sensory evaluation is "5" and the bleeding sensation of the corrected sensory evaluation is "6", the adjustment value corresponding to the bleeding sensation is "+1". Since the moist feeling in the standard sensory evaluation is "2" and the moist feeling in the corrected sensory evaluation is "3", the adjustment value corresponding to the bleeding feeling is "+1". The correction unit 152 does not set the adjustment value when the difference is "0".

The worker may operate the worker terminal 15 to press the plus button or minus button on the adjustment panel 30C of the screen information 30 to adjust the adjustment value. Workers may also set priorities. The sensory evaluation is adjusted preferentially to the evaluation item with the higher priority. In the example shown in FIG. 10, since the priority of bleeding feeling is "1" and the priority of moist feeling is "2", adjustment of sensory evaluation of bleeding feeling is prioritized.

When the setting of the adjustment panel 30C is completed, the worker operates the worker terminal 15 and presses the enter button. Correction unit 152 outputs the information of screen information 30 to adjustment unit 153 upon receiving the depression of enter button 31 .

The adjustment unit 153 is a processing unit that searches for raw materials that satisfy the requirements of the corrected sensory evaluation, and determines to add the searched raw materials to the raw materials to be blended in cosmetics. An example of the processing of the adjustment unit 153 will be described below.

Upon receiving the information of the screen information 30 from the correction unit 152, the adjustment unit 153 generates screen information for selecting the raw material to be added shown in FIG. 11 based on the adjustment values corresponding to the evaluation items, Display it on the worker terminal 15 .

For example, when the set value corresponding to a certain evaluation item is "+N", the adjusting unit 153 searches the raw material DB 141 for raw materials having a numerical value corresponding to the certain evaluation item "+N". The searched raw material to be added corresponds to the raw material to be added. In addition, the adjustment unit 153, if there is a raw material that becomes "+N" in the numerical value corresponding to a certain evaluation item by deleting it among the raw materials included in the basic mixing order corresponding to the target prescription number, A raw material may be specified as a raw material to be deleted.

FIG. 11 is a diagram (1) illustrating an example of screen information generated by the adjustment unit; As shown in FIG. 11, this screen information 38 has tables 38A, 38B, 38C, and 38D and an enter button 39. In FIG. Tables 38A-38D are shown here as an example, but other tables may be included.

A table 38A is a table showing raw materials that increase the feeling of bleeding when used as raw materials to be added. Table 38A associates additional flags, raw material names, and manufacturer names. The addition flag is a flag indicating whether or not to add the corresponding raw material (raw material name). The worker sets the addition flag to "on" when adding the corresponding raw material. On the other hand, the worker sets the addition flag to "off" when not adding the corresponding raw material.

For example, the adjustment unit 153 compares the target prescription number and the reference sensory evaluation table 142 to identify the basic compounding order corresponding to the target prescription number. The adjustment unit 153 scans the raw material DB 141 to search for the raw material name of the raw material that adds the bleeding feeling set to the adjustment value of the adjustment panel 30C among the raw materials (raw material names) that are not included in the specified reference blending order. and set to the raw material name of table 38A.

A table 38B is a table showing raw materials for which the feeling of bleeding increases when the raw materials to be deleted are selected. Table 38B associates deletion flags, raw material names, and manufacturer names. The deletion flag is a flag indicating whether or not to delete the corresponding raw material. The worker sets the deletion flag to "on" when deleting the corresponding raw material. On the other hand, if the worker does not want to delete the raw material, he/she sets the deletion flag to "OFF".

For example, the adjustment unit 153 compares the target prescription number and the reference sensory evaluation table 142 to identify the basic compounding order corresponding to the target prescription number. The adjustment unit 153 searches for the raw material name of the raw material that adds the bleeding feeling set to the adjustment value of the adjustment panel 30C by deleting it based on the raw material name of the specified basic mixing order and the raw material DB 141, and Set to raw material name in table 38B. Depending on the raw material, there are some that have a negative value for the feeling of bleeding.

Table 38C is a table showing ingredients that increase the moist feeling when added as ingredients. Table 38C associates additional flags, raw material names, and manufacturer names. The description of the additional flag is the same as the description of the additional flag described above.

For example, the adjustment unit 153 compares the target prescription number and the reference sensory evaluation table 142 to identify the basic compounding order corresponding to the target prescription number. The adjustment unit 153 scans the raw material DB 141 to search for raw material names of raw materials that add a moist feeling set in the adjustment values of the adjustment panel 30C among the raw materials (raw material names) that are not included in the specified reference blending order. and set to the raw material name of table 38C.

A table 38D is a table showing ingredients that increase the moistness of ingredients to be deleted. Table 38D associates deletion flags, raw material names, and manufacturer names. The description of the deletion flag is the same as the description of the deletion flag described above.

For example, the adjustment unit 153 compares the target prescription number and the reference sensory evaluation table 142 to identify the basic compounding order corresponding to the target prescription number. The adjusting unit 153 searches for the raw material name of the raw material that adds a moist feeling set to the adjustment value of the adjustment panel 30C by deleting it based on the raw material name of the specified basic mixing order and the raw material DB 141, Set to raw material name in table 38B. Depending on the raw material, there are some that have a negative value for the feeling of bleeding.

The worker refers to the screen information 38 and operates the worker terminal 15 to set the addition flags and deletion flags of the tables 38A to 38D to ON or OFF. The worker presses the decision button 39 when the ON or OFF setting is completed.

Here, if there is no raw material that satisfies the adjustment value corresponding to each evaluation item, the adjusting unit 153 may search the raw material DB for the raw material according to the order of priority. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 10, the priority of the bleeding feeling is higher than the priority of the moist feeling. Therefore, if there is no raw material that can increase the bleeding feeling by "+1" and the moist feeling by "+1", the adjusting unit 153 selects a raw material that can bring the bleeding feeling closer to "+1". You may search from DB141.

In the example shown in FIG. 11, tables 38A and 38B corresponding to the feeling of bleeding and tables 38C and 38D corresponding to the feeling of moistness are shown, but other evaluation items (feeling of close contact, refreshing feeling, elasticity, and lasting feeling) are also shown. The screen information 38 may include a table for

Upon receiving the depression of the decision button 39, the adjustment unit 153 generates screen information as shown in FIG.

The area 40B is an area for setting information on the blending order resulting from addition of target raw materials and deletion of deletion target raw materials to the basic blending order corresponding to the target prescription number. The raw materials to be added and the raw materials to be deleted are specified in the screen information 38 shown in FIG.

Table 40C has evaluation items, sensory evaluation, and correction sensory evaluation. The explanation about the evaluation items is the same as the above explanation. The sensory evaluation is a sensory evaluation obtained by totaling the values of each evaluation item of the raw materials in the compounding order shown in the area 40B. The corrected sensory evaluation corresponds to the corrected sensory evaluation described with reference to FIG.

The registration button 41 is a button that is pressed by the worker when it is determined that the component adjustment of the cosmetic corresponding to the target prescription number is finished. When the registration button 41 is pressed, the adjustment unit 153 registers the target prescription number and the information on the arrangement order of the raw materials displayed in the area 40B in the adjustment result table 146 .

Next, an example of the processing procedure of the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment will be described. FIG. 13 is a flow chart showing the processing procedure of the information processing apparatus according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 13, the receiving unit 151 of the information processing device 100 receives sensory evaluation information from the user terminal 10 and stores it in the evaluation result table 143 (step S101).
