Description

The present invention relates to a bedding information presentation system and a bedding information providing method for presenting information regarding bedding to a user who is considering bedding.

Conventionally, when purchasing bedding, a system that supports the selection of bedding refers to the user's physical information and bedding preferences, as well as the physical properties of the bedding, including its hardness, to suggest bedding that the user should purchase. A system is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2007-125293

However, users have various preferences. Therefore, if two users with similar characteristics (e.g., gender, age, height, weight, etc.) use the same bedding, and both users find it comfortable to use, However, the reasons for feeling that way may be different. For example, with the same bedding, you may find it comfortable to use because the firmness is just right, or you may find it comfortable to use because you like the texture.

That is, when referring only to impressions, which are subjective information, it is difficult to accurately grasp the reason why the user felt that the usability was good or bad.

Furthermore, even if the bedding has the same physical properties (such as hardness and rebound resilience), depending on the user's preferences, the user may find the bedding comfortable or uncomfortable. be.

That is, when referring only to the physical properties of bedding, which is objective information, it is difficult to accurately estimate whether each of a plurality of users with different tastes feels comfortable or uncomfortable.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a bedding information presentation system and a bedding information presentation method that present information regarding bedding that is likely to be comfortable for the user.

The bedding information presentation system of the present invention includes:
In a bedding information presentation system that presents bedding information to users who are considering bedding,
a consideration user attribute recognition unit that recognizes a consideration user attribute that is an attribute of the consideration user;
Regarding the selected bedding, which is the bedding selected by the considering user, it is an evaluation value regarding the comfort of the bedding regarding a predetermined evaluation item, which is an item determined based on the physical properties of the bedding that may affect sleep by the considering user. a first evaluation value recognition unit that estimates and recognizes a first evaluation value from data showing a correlation between the first evaluation value and the attributes of the considered user;
For the selected bedding, a second evaluation value, which is an evaluation value of the physical properties of the bedding regarding the predetermined evaluation item by the consideration user, is estimated from data showing a correlation between the second evaluation value and the attributes of the consideration user. a second evaluation value recognition unit that recognizes the
The apparatus is characterized by comprising a bedding information presentation unit that presents the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value for the selected bedding as information regarding the selected bedding.

In this way, the bedding information presentation system of the present invention changes the evaluation value for the bedding to the first evaluation value, which is the evaluation value for the comfort of the bedding in relation to a predetermined evaluation item (e.g., good to use, bad to use). etc.) and a second evaluation value (for example, it feels hard, feels soft, etc.), which is an evaluation value regarding the physical properties of the bedding related to the same evaluation item.

Here, the "evaluation item" is an item defined based on physical properties that may affect sleep. Specifically, for example, how it feels when you touch it, how it sinks when you sleep on it, how elastic it feels when you sleep on it, the fluffy feeling when you sleep on it, how warm it feels when you sleep on it, how it feels when you sleep on the floor, and how it feels when you sleep on it. Evaluation items include the ease of turning over when sleeping and the feeling of stuffiness when sleeping. Further, physical properties for determining the evaluation items include, for example, hardness, impact resilience, thickness, heat retention, and moisture retention.

Then, this system estimates and presents to the considering user the two types of evaluation values of the selected bedding by the considering user. In other words, for a certain evaluation item, the study user is asked to give a first evaluation value for feel of use (for example, a second evaluation value based on physical properties (for example, feels hard, soft, etc.) with an added reason). (comfortable to use, uncomfortable to use, etc.).

This allows the user to understand what physical properties the selected bedding's comfort in use depends on. Furthermore, the user can obtain information on bedding that is suitable and comfortable to use.

In addition, in the bedding information presentation system,
The first evaluation value recognition unit is configured to determine, for the selected bedding, the first evaluation value by the consideration user based on the consideration user attribute and first correlation data that is data indicating a correlation between the attribute and the first evaluation value. Estimate and recognize the evaluation value,
The second evaluation value recognition unit is configured to determine, for the selected bedding, the second evaluation value by the consideration user based on the consideration user attribute and second correlation data that is data indicating a correlation between the attribute and the second evaluation value. Estimate and recognize the evaluation value,
It is preferable that the bedding information presentation unit presents the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value estimated for the selected bedding as information regarding the selected bedding.

Here, a user's "attribute" refers to information that directly or indirectly affects the user's sleep. For example, direct information includes physical information, daily habits, bedding used, and preferences for bedding. Further, indirect factors include occupation, home environment, culture regarding sleep in the area where you live, and living environment.

When estimation is performed using correlation data between user attributes and evaluation values in this way, attributes, which are user-specific information, are taken into account in the estimation process, making it difficult to estimate evaluation values with high accuracy. can.

In addition, in the bedding information presentation system, if the evaluation value is estimated based on the considered user attributes and correlation data,
The first correlation data includes, for each of a plurality of test users who have previously evaluated each of a plurality of bedding items, a plurality of pieces of correlation data indicating a correlation between the test user attribute, which is the attribute of the test user, and the first evaluation value. data,
The second correlation data is a plurality of data indicating a correlation between the test user attribute of the test user and the second evaluation value for each of the plurality of test users,
The first evaluation value recognition unit estimates and recognizes the first evaluation value by the consideration user for the selected bedding based on the first correlation data regarding the test user attribute corresponding to the consideration user attribute. ,
The second evaluation value recognition unit estimates and recognizes the second evaluation value by the consideration user for the selected bedding based on the second correlation data regarding the test user attribute corresponding to the consideration user attribute. You can do it like this.

Further, in the bedding information presentation system of the present invention, when the evaluation value is estimated based on the considered user attributes and correlation data,
Preferably, the attributes include physical information.

The relationship between physical information (eg, age, height, weight, BMI, etc.) and the physical properties of bedding greatly affects the quality of a user's sleep (and, by extension, the comfort of the bedding). Therefore, by including physical information in the attributes used for estimating the evaluation value, the evaluation value can be estimated with high accuracy.

Furthermore, in the bedding information presentation system of the present invention,
comprising a bedding physical property recognition unit that acquires and recognizes the physical properties of the selected bedding from a bedding physical property storage unit;
It is preferable that the bedding information presentation unit presents the first evaluation value, the second evaluation value, and the value of the physical property regarding the selected bedding as information regarding the selected bedding.

The first evaluation value is subjective information in the form of impressions, and the second evaluation value is also subjective information in the form of impressions, although it has an objective element added to it in that it is an impression based on physical properties. .

Therefore, if the value of the physical property of the selected bedding (that is, the value of the physical property corresponding to the evaluation value) is presented together with the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value of the selected bedding, the considering user can , it is possible to know the values of the physical properties of the bedding as well as the estimated comfort of the bedding.

That is, the user can know the specific degree of the physical properties of the bedding that are suitable for him/her. As a result, after the user is presented with this information, it is easier for the user to search for bedding that is likely to be comfortable for him or her to use, even when he or she is not using the system.

Furthermore, in the bedding information presentation system of the present invention,
The first evaluation value recognition unit estimates and recognizes the first evaluation value using a first prediction model that inputs the selected bedding and the considered user attributes and outputs the first evaluation value,
The second evaluation value recognition unit estimates and recognizes the second evaluation value using a second prediction model that inputs the selected bedding and the considered user attributes and outputs the second evaluation value,
The first prediction model includes each of a plurality of bedding items that can be the selected bedding, a test user attribute that is the attribute of a test user who has previously evaluated each of the plurality of bedding items, and information about each of the plurality of bedding items. A prediction model that uses the first evaluation value as learning data to perform machine learning on the correlation between the attribute and the first evaluation value, and outputs the first evaluation value from the considered user attribute and the selected bedding,
The second prediction model uses each of the plurality of bedding that can be the selected bedding, the test user attribute, and the second evaluation value for each of the plurality of bedding as learning data, and calculates the attribute and the second evaluation value. The predictive model may be configured to perform machine learning on the correlation between the selected bedding and the considered user attributes and output the second evaluation value from the selected bedding and the considered user attributes.

Here, "learning data" is data used to train a machine learning algorithm, and includes, for example, feature amounts, correct data, or a set thereof used for the training. More specifically, "learning data" is data used to determine parameters possessed by a machine learning algorithm, such as feature quantities, correct answer data, Or a combination thereof.

Furthermore, in the bedding information presentation system of the present invention,
a first evaluation value acquisition unit that acquires the first evaluation value by the consideration user regarding the selected bedding used by the consideration user;
a second evaluation value acquisition unit that acquires the second evaluation value by the consideration user regarding the selected bedding used by the consideration user;
a first update data generation unit that generates data indicating a correlation between the first evaluation value and an attribute of the considered user based on the first evaluation value acquired by the first evaluation value acquisition unit;
a second update data generation unit that generates data indicating a correlation between the second evaluation value and the attributes of the considered user, based on the second evaluation value acquired by the second evaluation value acquisition unit;
When recognizing the first evaluation value, the first evaluation value recognition unit converts the first evaluation value by the considering user into an estimate of the first evaluation value from the previous time by the first update data generation unit. Estimating and recognizing from the data generated later,
When recognizing the second evaluation value, the second evaluation value recognition unit converts the second evaluation value by the considering user into an estimate of the second evaluation value from the previous time by the second update data generation unit. It is preferable to estimate and recognize from the data generated later.

In this way, when the data showing the correlation is updated by referring to the actual evaluation values by users who actually used the selected bedding, the updated data is more accurate than the data before the update. become. Then, by using the updated data to estimate the evaluation value, the evaluation value can be estimated with even higher accuracy.

Furthermore, the bedding information presentation method of the present invention includes:
A bedding information presentation system comprising a considering user attribute recognition section, a first evaluation value recognition section, a second evaluation value recognition section, and a bedding information presentation section is used to provide a consideration user who is considering bedding. , in a bedding information presentation method for presenting bedding information,

Hereinafter, a presentation system S (bedding information presentation system) according to an embodiment and a bedding information presentation method using the same will be described with reference to the drawings. This presentation system S is for presenting information on bedding to a user U who is a user considering bedding for purposes such as purchasing bedding.

[Schematic system configuration]
Hereinafter, a schematic configuration of the presentation system S will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

As shown in FIG. 1, the presentation system S is a computer system for providing bedding information to the user U, and is configured by a server 1 owned by a provider of the service provided by the presentation system S.

The server 1 is configured to be able to communicate information with a user terminal 2 such as a smartphone or a tablet owned by the user U via the Internet, a public line, or the like.

Note that the bedding information presentation system of the present invention is not limited to one configured by one server, and any terminal configuring the bedding information presentation system may include a processing unit described below. It is sufficient if it is configured as follows.

Therefore, for example, the bedding information presentation system may be configured by a plurality of servers. In addition, at least one of the processing units or at least a part of the functions of the processing unit is implemented in the user terminal, and the user terminal and the server cooperate, or the bedding information presentation system is configured by the user terminal alone. Good too. Furthermore, in this embodiment, functions corresponding to the input section 2a and output section 2b provided in the user terminal 2 may be provided in a terminal having a processing section, and configured as an independent bedding information presentation device. .

As shown in FIG. 2, the user terminal 2 that can communicate with the server 1 that is the presentation system S has an input unit 2a as a function (processing unit) realized by at least one of the implemented hardware configuration and the program. and an output section 2b.

In this embodiment, the description will be given assuming that the input section 2a and the output section 2b of the user terminal 2 are the touch panel 20 (see FIG. 3, etc.). However, the user terminal is not limited to such a configuration, and may be any device that can accept information input from the user and output information for presentation to the user. Bye. Therefore, for example, the user terminal may be configured to allow input and output using a keyboard, microphone, camera, speaker, etc. in addition to the touch panel.

[Configuration of each processing unit]
As shown in FIG. 2, the server 1 includes an input information presentation section 1a, a consideration user attribute recognition section 1b, and a test user attribute recognition section 1a, as functions (processing sections) realized by at least one of the implemented hardware configuration and the program. Attribute storage section 1c, test user attribute recognition section 1d, first correlation data storage section 1e, second correlation data storage section 1f, selected bedding presentation section 1g, selected bedding recognition section 1h, and first evaluation value Recognition unit 1i, second evaluation value recognition unit 1j, bedding physical property storage unit 1k, bedding physical property recognition unit 1l, bedding information presentation unit 1m, first evaluation value acquisition unit 1n, and second evaluation value acquisition unit 1o, a first update data generation section 1p, and a second update data generation section 1q.

The input information presentation unit 1a provides, via the touch panel 20 of the user terminal 2, information about the user U who is considering bedding, information for specifying the bedding being considered, and information about the user U when using the bedding. Questions about the evaluation value are presented in an answerable format (see Figure 3).

The consideration user attribute recognition unit 1b recognizes the consideration user attribute, which is the attribute of the user U (considered user), based on the answer input by the user U to the question presented by the input information presentation unit 1a.

Here, a user's "attribute" refers to information that directly or indirectly affects the user's sleep. For example, direct information includes physical information, daily habits, bedding used, and preferences for bedding. Further, indirect factors include occupation, home environment, culture regarding sleep in the area where you live, and living environment.

In this embodiment, gender, age, height, and weight (and ultimately BMI) are used as the user attributes to be considered.

Note that the considered user attribute recognition unit 1b may refer to information obtained in advance about the user U to recognize the considered user attributes. The previously obtained information is, for example, information input by the user U in a service provided by another system provided by the provider of the service provided by the presentation system S.

The test user attribute storage unit 1c stores test user attributes. Here, the "test user" is a user who has previously evaluated each of a plurality of bedding that can be selected bedding, which will be described later, and the "test user attribute" is the attribute of the test user. The type of test user attribute corresponds to the type of consideration user attribute.

In this embodiment, the test user attributes are gender, age, height, and weight (and ultimately BMI), which are also used as consideration user attributes.

The test user attribute recognition unit 1d acquires and recognizes the test user attribute corresponding to the consideration user attribute recognized by the consideration user attribute recognition unit 1b from the test user attribute storage unit 1c.

Here, the "test user attribute corresponding to the considered user attribute" refers to a test user attribute that includes information that matches or is similar to at least one of the attributes included in the considered user, for example.

In this embodiment, the test user attribute recognition unit 1d extracts the same gender, age, and BMI from the test user attributes stored in the test user attribute storage unit 1c as the considered user attributes recognized by the considered user attribute recognition unit 1b. Alternatively, test user attributes related to test users having similar parameters are searched and acquired.

The first correlation data storage unit 1e stores first correlation data.

Here, the "first correlation data" is data indicating the correlation between the user's attributes and the first evaluation value. In this embodiment, data indicating the correlation between the test user attribute and the first evaluation value for each of the plurality of test users is employed as the first correlation data.

Furthermore, the "first evaluation value" is an evaluation value of the comfort of the bedding regarding a predetermined evaluation item of the bedding by a certain user, and is a degree of expressing impressions regarding the evaluation item itself.

For example, the "first evaluation value" is the degree of evaluation of a certain evaluation item, such as "feels good" or "doesn't feel good."

Furthermore, "evaluation items" are items defined based on physical properties that may affect sleep. Specifically, for example, how it feels when you touch it, how it sinks when you sleep on it, how elastic it feels when you sleep on it, the fluffy feeling when you sleep on it, how warm it feels when you sleep on it, how it feels when you sleep on the floor, and how it feels when you sleep on it. Evaluation items include the ease of turning over when sleeping and the feeling of stuffiness when sleeping. Further, physical properties for determining the evaluation items include, for example, hardness, impact resilience, thickness, heat retention, and moisture retention.

The second correlation data storage unit 1f stores second correlation data.

Here, the "second correlation data" is data indicating the correlation between the user's attributes and the second evaluation value. In this embodiment, data indicating the correlation between the test user attribute and the second evaluation value for each of the plurality of test users is employed as the second correlation data.

Further, the "second evaluation value" is an evaluation value of a physical property of bedding regarding a predetermined evaluation item by a certain user, and is a degree of expressing impressions regarding the physical property itself.

For example, the "second evaluation value" is the evaluation item "feel when touched", the evaluation item "soft" or "hard", and the evaluation item "sinking when sleeping" is "stable". For evaluation items such as ``Yes'' or ``sinks'' and ``firmness when sleeping'', for evaluation items such as ``soft'' or ``hard'' and ``elasticity when sleeping'', ``no elasticity'' or ``no elasticity'' was evaluated. For the evaluation items "elastic" and "fluffy feeling when sleeping", "not fluffy" or "fluffy", and for the evaluation items "warmness when sleeping", "cold" or "warm" , for the evaluation item ``feeling of contact with the floor when sleeping'', ``feeling of contact with the floor'' or ``not feeling of contact with the floor'', and ``ease of turning over when sleeping'' This is the degree of evaluation of ``I feel stuffy'' or ``Good ventilation'' in response to the evaluation items ``difficult to turn over in bed'', ``easy to turn over in bed'', and ``feel stuffy when sleeping''.

In addition, "physical properties" are parameters that can be quantitatively measured for bedding, such as hardness, impact resilience, height, heat retention, moisture absorption and release properties, material (touch), etc. For example, it is a physical property that affects the feel when touched.

The selected bedding presenting unit 1g can select a plurality of bedding that can be selected bedding via the touch panel 20 of the user terminal 2, based on the answer input by the user U to the question presented by the input information presenting unit 1a. (See Figure 4).

The selected bedding recognition unit 1h recognizes the bedding selected by the user U from the plurality of bedding presented by the selected bedding presentation unit 1g as the selected bedding.

Note that the selected bedding does not necessarily have to be selected from the plurality of bedding presented by the selected bedding presenting section 1g. Therefore, the selected bedding recognition unit 1h may, for example, recognize the bedding directly designated by the user U as the selected bedding. Specifically, when information specifying bedding (for example, bedding model number, etc.) is input to the user terminal 2, the selected bedding recognition unit 1h recognizes the bedding corresponding to the model number as the selected bedding. You can also do this.

The first evaluation value recognition unit 1i uses the test user attribute recognized by the test user attribute recognition unit 1d and the first correlation data storage unit for the selected bedding recognized by the selected bedding recognition unit 1h. Based on the first correlation data acquired from 1e, the first evaluation value by user U is estimated and recognized.

That is, the first evaluation value recognition unit 1i determines the estimated value of the user U for the selected bedding based on the first correlation data corresponding to the test user who has attributes that match or are similar to the user U who selected the selected bedding. Recognize (for example, calculate or obtain) an evaluation value regarding the comfort of use regarding a predetermined evaluation item.

In this embodiment, the first evaluation value recognition unit 1i acquires and recognizes the first correlation data from the first correlation data storage unit 1e, but the first evaluation value recognition unit 1i acquires and recognizes the first correlation data from the storage unit of a system different from the bedding information presentation system. , the first correlation data may be acquired and recognized.

In addition, when acquiring the correlation data from the first correlation data storage unit 1e, the first evaluation value recognition unit 1i refers to the evaluation value input by the current user U before the current processing, and updates the evaluation value. If there is first correlation data, the first correlation data may be acquired with priority.

The second evaluation value recognition unit 1j stores the selected bedding recognized by the selected bedding recognition unit 1h on the basis of the test user attribute recognized by the test user attribute recognition unit 1d and the second correlation data storage unit based on the test user attribute. The second evaluation value by the user U is recognized based on the second correlation data acquired from 1f.

That is, the second evaluation value recognition unit 1j determines the estimated value of the selected bedding by the user U based on the second correlation data corresponding to the test user having attributes that match or are similar to the user U who selected the selected bedding. Recognize (for example, calculate or obtain) evaluation values for physical properties related to predetermined evaluation items.

In this embodiment, the second evaluation value recognition unit 1j acquires and recognizes the second correlation data from the second correlation data storage unit 1f, but the second evaluation value recognition unit 1j acquires and recognizes the second correlation data from the storage unit of a system different from the bedding information presentation system. , the second correlation data may be acquired and recognized.

In addition, when acquiring the correlation data from the second correlation data storage unit 1f, the second evaluation value recognition unit 1j refers to the evaluation value that was input by the current user U before the current processing and updated the correlation data. If there is second correlation data, the second correlation data may be acquired with priority.

Note that the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value recognized by the first evaluation value recognition unit 1i and the second evaluation value recognition unit 1j may be alternative evaluations such as good or bad, or may be multi-level evaluations. Alternatively, it may be an evaluation that can be specified steplessly.

The bedding property storage unit 1k stores the physical properties of each of a plurality of bedding items that can be selected bedding items.

The bedding physical property recognition unit 1l acquires and recognizes the physical properties of the selected bedding recognized by the selected bedding recognition unit 1h from the bedding physical property storage unit 1k.

Note that the bedding physical property recognition unit of the present invention may be any unit that can recognize the physical properties of the selected bedding, so it does not necessarily have to acquire the physical properties of the selected bedding from a storage unit such as the bedding physical property storage unit 1k of the present embodiment. It doesn't have to be something you recognize. Therefore, for example, the bedding physical property recognition unit may acquire information on the physical properties of the selected bedding from the website of the manufacturer of the selected bedding.

The bedding information presentation unit 1m displays, for the selected bedding, the first evaluation value by the user U recognized by the first evaluation value recognition unit 1i, the second evaluation value by the user U recognized by the second evaluation value recognition unit 1j, and the bedding. The value of the physical property of the selected bedding recognized by the physical property recognition unit 1l is presented as information regarding the selected bedding (see FIG. 5).

The first evaluation value acquisition unit 1n determines whether the selected bedding was used based on the answer to the question presented by the user U via the input information presentation unit 1a, for example after purchasing the selected bedding. A later first evaluation value by the user U regarding the selected bedding is acquired.

The second evaluation value acquisition unit 1o determines whether the selected bedding was used based on the answer to the question presented by the user U via the input information presentation unit 1a, for example after purchasing the selected bedding. A later first evaluation value by the user U regarding the selected bedding is acquired.

When the first evaluation value acquisition unit 1n acquires the first evaluation value by the user U who used the selected bedding, the first update data generation unit 1p corresponds to a test user who has attributes that match or are similar to that of the user U. The first correlation data is acquired from the first correlation data storage section 1e. Next, the first updated data generation unit 1p generates new first correlation data that is updated based on the acquired first correlation data and the acquired first evaluation value. After that, the first update data generation section 1p stores the new first correlation data in the first correlation data storage section 1e.

When the second evaluation value acquisition unit 1o acquires the second evaluation value by the user U who used the selected bedding, the second update data generation unit 1q corresponds to a test user who has attributes that match or are similar to that of the user U. The second correlation data is obtained from the second correlation data storage unit 1f. Next, the second updated data generation unit 1q generates new second correlation data that is updated based on the acquired second correlation data and the acquired second evaluation value. Thereafter, the second update data generation unit 1q stores the new second correlation data in the second correlation data storage unit 1f.

Next, for the selected bedding, the bedding information presentation unit 1m provides a first evaluation value by the user U recognized by the first evaluation value recognition unit 1i and a second evaluation value by the user U recognized by the second evaluation value recognition unit 1j. The value of the physical property of the selected bedding recognized by the bedding physical property recognition unit 1l is presented as information regarding the selected bedding (FIG. 6/STEP 111), and the current process ends.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the bedding physical property recognition unit 1l displays the recognized first evaluation value for each evaluation item as a "main evaluation" on the touch panel 20 of the user terminal 2, and The second evaluation value obtained is displayed as a "supplementary evaluation." In addition, the bedding physical property recognition unit 1l displays the physical properties of the selected bedding below the image of the selected bedding.

Note that the method of presenting this information is not limited to such a configuration, and any method may be used as long as the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value are displayed in a manner that allows the correspondence between them to be understood.

Therefore, for example, the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value may be presented in one sentence. Specifically, a message such as "it's hard so it's comfortable" may be displayed. For example, first, when any evaluation item is selected, the first evaluation value is displayed, and then, when the displayed first evaluation value is selected, the first evaluation value corresponding to the first evaluation value is displayed. A second evaluation value may also be displayed.

As explained above, in the presentation system S and the bedding information presentation method executed using the presentation system S, the evaluation value of the bedding is determined by the first evaluation, which is the evaluation value of the comfort of use regarding the predetermined evaluation items of the bedding. It is divided into a value (for example, comfortable to use, uncomfortable to use, etc.) and a second evaluation value (for example, feels hard, feels soft, etc.) which is an evaluation value for physical properties related to the same evaluation item.

Then, in the system S and its presentation method, the two types of evaluation values by the user U are estimated and presented to the user U regarding the selected bedding. That is, for a certain evaluation item, the user U is asked to give a first evaluation value for feel of use (for example, a second evaluation value based on physical properties (for example, feels hard, soft, etc.) with an added reason. (comfortable to use, uncomfortable to use, etc.).

This allows the user to understand what physical properties the selected bedding's comfort in use depends on. Furthermore, you can learn about bedding that is suitable for you and has physical properties that are comfortable to use.

By the way, the first evaluation value is subjective information such as impressions, and the second evaluation value is also subjective information such as impressions, although an objective element is added in that it is an impression based on physical properties. It is.

Therefore, the presentation system S is configured to present the physical property values of the selected bedding together with the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value (see FIG. 5).

Thereby, the user U can know the estimated comfort of the bedding as well as the physical property values of the bedding (that is, the physical property values corresponding to the evaluation values). That is, the user can know the specific degree of the physical properties of the bedding that are suitable for him/her. As a result, after the user U is presented with the information, it becomes easier for the user U to search for bedding that is likely to be comfortable for him or her to use, even when the presentation system S is not used.

However, the bedding information presentation unit of the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and may be any device that presents the estimated first evaluation value and second evaluation value as information regarding the selected bedding. Therefore, the values of the physical properties of the bedding do not necessarily need to be presented.

[Processing when presenting bedding information]
With reference to FIGS. 2 and 7, a process when the presentation system S updates correlation data will be described. This process is performed after the user U purchases and obtains the selected bedding selected when executing the process of presenting the bedding information described above (that is, after the user U uses the selected bedding). This is the process to be executed.

In this process, first, the input information presentation unit 1a presents information to be input to the user U to use the presentation system S via the touch panel 20 of the user terminal 2 (FIG. 7/STEP 201 ).

Specifically, similar to STEP 101, the input information presentation unit 1a presents questions about information (for example, physical information) about the user U who is considering bedding in an answerable format, and also Questions about bedding and first and second evaluation values for the bedding are presented in an answerable format. Questions regarding the first evaluation value and the second evaluation value may be input by operating a slide bar shown on the right side of FIG. 5, for example.

Next, the consideration user attribute recognition unit 1b recognizes the consideration user information of the user U (the consideration user) based on the answer input by the user U to the question presented by the input information presentation unit 1a (FIG. 7 /STEP202).

Next, the test user attribute recognition unit 1d acquires and recognizes the test user attribute corresponding to the consideration user attribute recognized by the consideration user attribute recognition unit 1b from the test user attribute storage unit 1c (FIG. 7/STEP 203). .

Next, the first update data generation unit 1p acquires and recognizes the first correlation data corresponding to the test user attribute recognized by the test user attribute recognition unit 1d from the first correlation data storage unit 1e (FIG. 7 /STEP204).

Next, the second update data generation unit 1q acquires and recognizes the second correlation data corresponding to the test user attribute recognized by the test user attribute recognition unit 1d from the second correlation data storage unit 1f (FIG. 7 /STEP205).

Next, the first evaluation value acquisition unit 1n determines the user U's opinion of the selected bedding after using the selected bedding, based on the answer to the question presented by the user U via the input information presentation unit 1a. A first evaluation value is obtained (FIG. 7/STEP 206).

Next, the second evaluation value acquisition unit 1o determines the user U's opinion of the selected bedding after using the selected bedding, based on the answer to the question presented by the user U via the input information presentation unit 1a. A second evaluation value is obtained (FIG. 7/STEP 207).

Next, the first update data generation unit 1p generates new first correlation data based on the first correlation data recognized in STEP 204 and the first evaluation value acquired in STEP 206 (FIG. 7/STEP 208).

Next, the second update data generation unit 1q generates new second correlation data based on the second correlation data recognized in STEP 205 and the second evaluation value acquired in STEP 207 (FIG. 7/STEP 209).

Next, the first update data generation unit 1p stores the new first correlation data in the first correlation data storage unit 1e, and the second update data generation unit 1q stores the new second correlation data in the second correlation data. The data is stored in the storage unit 1f (FIG. 7/STEP 210), and the current process is ended.

In this way, in the presentation system S, the correlation data is updated with reference to the actual evaluation value by the user U who actually used the selected bedding. The correlation data updated in this way has higher accuracy than the data before the update. Then, estimation of the evaluation value from the next time onwards is performed using the updated data. Thereby, the presentation system S can estimate the evaluation value with higher accuracy.

Note that the bedding information presentation system and the bedding information presentation method of the present invention are not limited to such a configuration, and the data indicating the correlation does not necessarily need to be updated. Therefore, if the update is not performed, the first evaluation value acquisition unit 1n, second evaluation value acquisition unit 1o, first update data generation unit 1p, and second update data generation unit 1q in this embodiment are omitted. You may.

[Other embodiments]
Although the illustrated embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

For example, in the presentation system S of the above embodiment, each time the system is used, the input information presentation section 1a makes the user U answer about the input information presented, and based on the answer, the consideration user attribute recognition section 1b Consider recognizing user attributes. This is to enable more appropriate evaluation values to be estimated by using the latest consideration user attributes when presenting information.

However, the consideration user attribute recognition unit of the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and may be any structure as long as it can recognize the consideration user attributes. For example, a consideration user attribute storage section that stores consideration user attributes acquired in advance may be provided, and the consideration user attribute recognition section may be configured to acquire the consideration user attributes from the consideration user attribute storage section. With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the effort of the user considering the next use of the system.

In addition, if a consideration user attribute storage section is provided, in addition to the consideration user attributes, it is recommended to store selected bedding, and the first evaluation value and second evaluation value estimated for the selected bedding, etc. for each consideration user. You can also do this.

When information other than the consideration user attributes is stored in the consideration user attribute storage section in this way, the first evaluation value estimating section and the second evaluation value estimating section will select a new selection when the system is used from next time onwards. When estimating the evaluation value for bedding, it is preferable to refer to evaluation values for past selected bedding. Specifically, for example, the evaluation value may be corrected according to the difference between the physical properties of the previously selected bedding and the physical properties of the newly selected bedding. This makes it possible to recognize a more appropriate evaluation value.

Further, in the embodiment described above, physical information is included in the consideration user attribute and the test user attribute. This is because the relationship between physical information and the physical properties of bedding greatly affects the quality of a user's sleep (and by extension, the comfort of the bedding), so adopting physical information as a user attribute (and by extension, This is because by taking physical information into account in estimating the evaluation value, it becomes easier to estimate bedding that is more comfortable for the user under consideration.

However, the consideration user attributes and test user attributes of the present invention are not limited to those that include physical information, and may be information that does not include physical information.

Further, for example, in the presentation system S of the above embodiment, data indicating the correlation between the test user attribute and the first evaluation value for each of the plurality of test users is employed as the first correlation data, and the second correlation data is used as the first correlation data. As data, data indicating a correlation between test user attributes and second evaluation values for each of a plurality of test users is employed.

This is because when estimation is performed using correlation data between user attributes and evaluation values, attributes, which are user-specific information, are taken into consideration in the estimation process, making it possible to estimate evaluation values more accurately. This is because it can be done.

However, the first correlation data of the present invention may be data that shows the correlation between the user's attributes and the first evaluation value, and the second correlation data is data that shows the correlation between the user's attributes and the second evaluation value. That's fine.

Therefore, for example, instead of using a predetermined user identified from multiple attributes, such as a test user, as a model, a predetermined calculation formula that shows the relationship between the value of a predetermined attribute itself and the evaluation value (for example, using physical properties as a variable) calculation formula) may be employed as the correlation data.

When such a calculation formula is adopted as correlation data, the evaluation value estimation unit refers to a predetermined value regarding the selected bedding (for example, the value of any physical property of the selected bedding) and performs an evaluation based on the correlation data. All you have to do is calculate the value.

Further, in the presentation system S of the above embodiment, the first evaluation value recognition unit 1i recognizes the first evaluation value based on the first correlation data, and the second evaluation value recognition unit 1j recognizes the first evaluation value based on the second correlation data. Based on this, the second evaluation value is recognized.

However, the first evaluation value recognition section of the present invention may be any device that can estimate and recognize the first evaluation value, and the second evaluation value recognition section may be any device that can estimate and recognize the second evaluation value. Bye.

Therefore, the first evaluation value recognition unit and the second evaluation value recognition unit may be configured to acquire and recognize the first evaluation value and second evaluation value estimated in another system, for example.

Further, the first evaluation value recognition unit and the second evaluation value recognition unit may, for example, if evaluation values have been obtained for the selected bedding by the consideration user in the past, the first evaluation value recognition unit and the second evaluation value recognition unit The current evaluation value may be recognized by acquiring past evaluation values.

Further, the first evaluation value recognition unit may estimate and recognize the first evaluation value using a first prediction model that inputs the selected bedding and the considered user attributes and outputs the first evaluation value. The second evaluation value recognition unit estimates and recognizes the second evaluation value using a second prediction model that inputs the selected bedding and the considered user attributes and outputs the second evaluation value. Good too.

In such a configuration, the first prediction model includes each of a plurality of bedding that can be selected bedding, a test user attribute that is an attribute of a test user who has previously evaluated each of the plurality of bedding, and a plurality of them. If a prediction model is adopted that uses the first evaluation value for each of the bedding as learning data, performs machine learning on the correlation between the attribute and the first evaluation value, and outputs the first evaluation value from the considered user attribute and the selected bedding. good.

In addition, the second prediction model uses each of a plurality of bedding that can be selected bedding, the test user attributes, and the second evaluation value for each of the plurality of bedding as learning data, and calculates the correlation between the attribute and the second evaluation value. A prediction model that performs machine learning and outputs a second evaluation value from the selected bedding and the considered user attributes may be adopted.

Here, "learning data" is data used to train a machine learning algorithm, and includes, for example, feature amounts, correct data, or a set thereof used for the training. More specifically, "learning data" is data used to determine parameters possessed by a machine learning algorithm, such as feature quantities, correct answer data, Or a combination thereof.

Furthermore, one of the first evaluation value recognition section and the second evaluation value recognition section estimates and recognizes the evaluation value using either correlation data, past evaluation values, or a prediction model, and the other The evaluation value may be estimated and recognized using the unused one.
