Special table 2019-505060 publication

In a smart home, a user can operate various home appliances individually, regardless of location or time, by using, for example, a portable terminal device, and can enjoy convenience by flexibly setting the usage mode. However, although the convenience of connecting home appliances to the Internet contributes to reducing the effort required for users' daily lives, it is difficult to say that it contributes sufficiently in terms of changing users' lifestyles and leading better lives. Therefore, there is room for improvement in terms of enriching users' lives.

The object of the present invention is to provide a lifestyle provision program, a lifestyle provision device, and a lifestyle provision system that enable users to enrich their lives.

The lifestyle provision program for solving the above problem causes a terminal device used by a user to execute an acquisition process for acquiring, via the Internet, information input to a communication device used by an information provider in the course of the information provider's daily life as behavioral information related to the information provider's lifestyle, and a notification process for notifying the user of the behavioral information acquired by the acquisition process.

In the above configuration, behavioral information of an information provider is acquired based on information input to a communication device used by the information provider. By notifying a user of the acquired behavioral information, the user can learn about the lifestyle of the information provider. The user can change his or her own lifestyle by referring to the lifestyle of the information provider. Therefore, according to the above configuration, the user can learn about model cases of lifestyles from the information provider, increase the number of options for his or her own lifestyle, and have the opportunity to seek out a better lifestyle. As a result, it becomes possible to enrich the user's life.

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned lifestyle provision program, it is desirable to have the terminal device execute a designation process that allows the user to designate an information provider from whom the behavioral information is to be acquired, and the acquisition process acquires, as the behavioral information, information input to a communication device used by the information provider designated in the designation process in the course of the information provider's life.

In the above configuration, the user can obtain behavioral information from the specified information provider. In this way, by obtaining lifestyle-related information from an information provider in which the user has a high level of interest, it is possible to encourage changes in the user's lifestyle. Therefore, the above configuration can further contribute to enriching the user's life.

In addition, in the above-mentioned lifestyle providing program, it is preferable that the acquisition process acquires the input information to a provider-side installation device installed in a building where the information provider lives as the communication device, as the behavioral information.

In the above configuration, input information to a provider-installed device installed in the building where the information provider lives, i.e., information on the usage mode of the provider-installed device, is acquired as behavioral information. Therefore, the user can acquire behavioral information that is in line with the real life of the information provider. Therefore, with the above configuration, it is possible to improve the accuracy of lifestyle information provided by the information provider.

In addition, in the above-mentioned lifestyle providing program, it is preferable that the notification process notifies the behavioral information by inputting the same information as the input information acquired by the acquisition process to the provider-side installed device to a user-side installed device installed in the building where the user lives.

In the above configuration, the user-side installed device is operated so that the user-side installed device is in the same usage state as when the information provider operated the provider-side installed device, and the user is notified of the information provider's behavioral information. This makes it possible to reproduce the information provider's lifestyle in the building in which the user lives, and the user can experience the information provider's lifestyle. In this way, by experiencing the lifestyle of a specified information provider, the user can determine his or her affinity with the information provider's lifestyle. This makes it possible to further encourage lifestyle changes, contributing to enriching the lives of users.

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned lifestyle provision program, it is preferable that the notification process includes a first notification process for inputting the same information as the input information into the user-side installation device, and a second notification process for notifying the user of the behavior information in a manner different from that of the first notification process after the first notification process is executed.

In the above configuration, after the information provider operates the user-side installed device so that the device is in the same usage state as when the information provider operated the provider-side installed device, the behavioral information is notified in a different manner. In this way, by notifying the information provider's behavioral information in two stages in different manners, it becomes easier to guide the user to adopt the information provider's lifestyle. This makes it possible to further promote changes in the user's lifestyle.

In the above-mentioned lifestyle providing program, it is preferable that the notification process notifies the user of the behavioral information acquired by the acquisition process in real time.
According to the above configuration, the behavioral information of the information provider can be obtained in real time, which makes it possible to change the user's lifestyle based on the latest lifestyle of the information provider.

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned lifestyle provision program, it is desirable to have the terminal device execute an advertising process that outputs advertising information related to the behavioral information acquired by the acquisition process.

According to the above configuration, advertisements related to the behavioral information of the information provider are output. Since the advertising information related to the behavioral information of the information provider is related to the lifestyle that the user wants to refer to, the advertising effect on the user can be increased. Therefore, according to the above configuration, it is possible to provide highly effective advertising to the user.

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned lifestyle provision program, it is preferable that the terminal device executes a storage process for storing the behavioral information that the user wishes to register, and the notification process reads out the behavioral information stored by the storage process and notifies the user of the behavioral information.

In the above configuration, by registering and storing behavioral information related to a favorite lifestyle in the terminal device, the user is able to reproduce the favorite lifestyle as many times as desired. In other words, by repeatedly reproducing a registered lifestyle among the lifestyles of the information provider, the user is more likely to make a new lifestyle a habit. Furthermore, by registering not only the entire lifestyle of a day, but also part of a day's lifestyle, the user is able to gradually change his or her lifestyle starting from parts of it rather than changing it all at once. This makes it possible to lower the hurdle for changing a lifestyle. Therefore, the above configuration can further encourage changes in the user's lifestyle.

In addition, in the above-mentioned lifestyle provision program, it is preferable that the acquisition process selects and acquires at least one of the real-time information and the steady-state information from a database that includes real-time information, which is the behavioral information of the information provider in real time during the course of their life, and steady-state information, which is the behavioral information of the information provider that is steady during the course of their life.

In the above configuration, the user can select a lifestyle that he or she would like to refer to from the real-time behavioral information and regular behavioral information of the information provider. Therefore, the above configuration makes it possible to provide a lifestyle that is more suitable for the user.

In the above-mentioned lifestyle providing program, it is preferable that the acquisition process acquires the behavior information from information providers who have permitted collection of the input information.
According to the above configuration, it is possible to change the collection status of input information based on the settings of the information provider, which makes it possible to increase the flexibility of the lifestyle provision mode including the information provider.

The lifestyle provision device for solving the above problem is a terminal device used by a user, in which at least one of the lifestyle provision programs described above is installed.

According to the above configuration, by executing each of the above processes using the lifestyle provision program installed in the terminal device, it is possible to obtain the same effects and advantages as the lifestyle provision program described above.

The lifestyle providing system for solving the above problem is a lifestyle providing system comprising a terminal device used by a user, the Internet, a server configured to be able to communicate with the terminal device via the Internet, and a communication device configured to be able to communicate with the server and used by an information provider, the server having a database that stores information input to the communication device used by the information provider in the course of the information provider's life as behavioral information relating to the lifestyle, and the terminal device comprises an acquisition processing unit that acquires the behavioral information stored in the server via the Internet, and a notification processing unit that notifies the user of the behavioral information acquired by the acquisition processing unit.

In the above configuration, behavioral information of an information provider is acquired based on information input to a communication device used by the information provider. By notifying a user of the acquired behavioral information, the user can learn about the lifestyle of the information provider. The user can change his or her own lifestyle by referring to the lifestyle of the information provider. Therefore, according to the above configuration, the user can learn about model cases of lifestyles from the information provider, increase the number of options for his or her own lifestyle, and have the opportunity to seek out a better lifestyle. As a result, it becomes possible to enrich the user's life.

The lifestyle provision program, the lifestyle provision device, and the lifestyle provision system enable users to enrich their lives.

FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram showing the procedure of a lifestyle providing process executed in the lifestyle providing system.

An embodiment of a lifestyle providing program, a lifestyle providing device, and a lifestyle providing system will be described with reference to FIGS.
1, a lifestyle providing system 10 includes the Internet 20 and a server 30 connected to the Internet 20. The Internet 20 includes a wide area network (WAN) and a local area network (LAN) that are wireless or wired.

An installation device 45 installed in a smart home 40, which is a building, is connected to the Internet 20. The installation device 45 includes home appliances configured to be connectable to the Internet 20, so-called IoT (Internet of Things) home appliances 50.

As shown in FIG. 2, the IoT home appliances 50 include, for example, a smart speaker 51, a lighting system 52, a television 53, an audio device 54, a refrigerator 55, and a washing machine 56. The IoT home appliances 50 may also include other devices such as a house alarm device, a door lock device, a smart bed, a garage door opener, an infant monitor, and a fire alarm. These IoT home appliances 50 are installed in the smart home 40.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the smart home 40 is also provided with a charging facility 58 for charging the battery mounted on the automobile 60 as an installation device 45 installed outside the smart home 40. The charging facility 58 is configured to be connectable to the Internet 20, and the charging start time and charging amount for the battery can be set.

The smart speaker 51 is connected to other installed devices 45 via the Internet 20, and the user of the smart speaker 51 can individually operate each of the installed devices 45 via the smart speaker 51 by inputting operation information by voice.

As shown in FIG. 3, each smart speaker 51 includes a CPU 51A, a ROM 51B, a storage device 51C which is an electrically rewritable non-volatile memory, a voice input device 51D, a voice output device 51E, and a communication device 51F, which are capable of communicating with each other via a bus line 51G. The ROM 51B stores various programs executed by the CPU 51A. The voice input device 51D has a microphone and is configured to recognize the voice uttered by the user and transmit the instruction contents to the CPU 51A as a control signal. The voice output device 51E has a speaker and is configured to output a synthetic voice based on a control signal from the CPU 51A. The communication device 51F is configured to be capable of communicating with the server 30, other installed devices 45 in the smart home 40, and further smart speakers 51 installed in other smart homes 40 via the Internet 20.

The server 30 is equipped with a CPU 30A, a ROM 30B, a storage device 30C, and a communication device 30D, which are capable of communicating with each other via a bus line 30E. The storage device 30C is an electrically rewritable non-volatile memory. The storage device 30C collects various input information sent from each smart speaker 51 to the smart speaker 51. This input information is organized and stored in a database as an input information database DB1 for providing a lifestyle.

In this embodiment, when the collection of input information is permitted in the smart speaker 51 installed in the smart home 40 where the information provider lives, the input information input to the smart speaker 51 while the information provider lives is transmitted from the smart speaker 51 to the server 30. In this manner, the input information transmitted from the smart speaker 51 (e.g., smart speaker (1), (2), (3), ...) used by the information provider who is able to provide information by permitting the collection of input information is stored in the input information database DB1 of the server 30.

The input information input to the smart speaker 51 includes instruction information for the information provider to output information such as weather and news from the smart speaker 51, and instruction information for operating other installed devices 45 via the smart speaker 51. Examples of instruction information for operating the installed devices 45 include on/off information for the lighting system 52, program selection information for the television 53, music selection information for the audio 54, and charging start information for the charging equipment 58. The smart speaker 51 is also configured to be able to communicate information to the information provider by outputting and reading out information input from the refrigerator 55 and the washing machine 56. Therefore, the information input to the smart speaker 51 includes not only instruction information from the information provider, but also information input from the refrigerator 55 and information input from the washing machine 56. Information input from the refrigerator 55 includes information on ingredients in the refrigerator 55 and information on removing ingredients. Information input from the washing machine 56 includes information on the start of washing and information on the amount of detergent remaining in the washing machine 56. Thus, in the smart home 40 where the information provider lives, the input information to the smart speaker 51 reflects the lifestyle of the information provider and can be said to be behavioral information related to the lifestyle. Therefore, by collecting the input information to the smart speaker 51 and linking the input information to the time of input and the information provider and storing it in a database, it is possible to provide behavioral information related to the lifestyle of the information provider. Note that the input information database DB1 includes, as behavioral information related to the lifestyle, real-time information, which is real-time behavioral information immediately after being input to the smart speaker 51 while the information provider is living, and stationary information, which is stationary behavioral information that does not change from day to day while the information provider is living. Note that the stationary information is derived by the server 30 based on multiple pieces of real-time information collected and accumulated from the smart speaker 51 used by the information provider.

The smart speaker 51 used by the information provider corresponds to the provider-side installation device 45A installed in the smart home 40 in which the information provider lives, and corresponds to a communication device used by the information provider in the course of his or her life. The setting of whether or not to allow collection of input information may be performed, for example, by the information provider giving a voice instruction to the smart speaker 51, or may be performed by the information provider operating a mobile communication terminal such as a smartphone on which a setting application program is installed. Information providers include, for example, entertainers, athletes, YouTubers, politicians, and ordinary people.

In this embodiment, an example is shown in which the information provider operates the other installed device 45 installed in the smart home 40 where the information provider lives via the smart speaker 51, but there are also cases where the information provider operates the installed device 45 using a mobile communication terminal such as a smartphone owned by the information provider. There are also cases where the information provider operates the other installed device 45 using both the smart speaker 51 and the smartphone. In these cases, the smart speaker 51 and the smartphone function as communication devices used by the information provider. Therefore, by collecting input information to the smart speaker 51 and the smartphone, which are communication devices for operating the installed device 45 installed in the smart home 40 where the information provider lives, in the server 30, an input information database DB1 in which the input information is databased can be configured.

In addition to the input information database DB1, the storage device 30C of the server 30 also stores an advertising information database DB2 that stores various advertising information. The server 30 may be configured to be able to update the information in the advertising information database DB2 at any time via the Internet 20.

As shown in FIG. 3, a user who receives behavioral information from an information provider has a lifestyle providing program installed on a terminal device that the user uses. In this embodiment, the user uses a smart speaker 51 (hereinafter referred to as "smart speaker (U)"), which is an installation device 45 installed in the smart home 40 in which the user lives, as the terminal device. In addition to the lifestyle providing program, various programs executed by the CPU 51A are stored in the ROM 51B of the smart speaker (U). The smart speaker (U) corresponds to a lifestyle providing device in which the lifestyle providing program is installed. In addition, an installation device 45 similar to the installation device 45 installed in the smart home 40 in which the information provider lives is also installed in the smart home 40 in which the user lives. The installation device 45 installed in the smart home 40 in which the user lives is hereinafter referred to as a user-side installation device 45B.

As shown in FIG. 4, the smart speaker (U) used by the user executes a lifestyle provision process to provide a lifestyle to the user in accordance with the processing of a lifestyle provision program. The smart speaker (U) has a communication unit 70, a voice input unit 71, a voice output unit 72, a designation processing unit 73, an acquisition processing unit 74, a notification processing unit 75, an advertisement processing unit 76, and a storage processing unit 77 as functional units for executing the lifestyle provision process.

The communication unit 70 transmits information about the control signal to the user-side installation device 45B via the Internet 20. The communication unit 70 is also connected to the server 30 via the Internet 20, and accesses the input information database DB1 and the advertisement information database DB2.

The voice input unit 71 recognizes voice information when the user speaks.
The audio output unit 72 outputs audio from a speaker based on an output signal from the notification processing unit 75 and the like.

The designation processing unit 73 executes a designation process that allows the user to designate an information provider from whom behavioral information is to be acquired. The designation processing unit 73 has a selection screen display unit 73A and a designation information storage unit 73B as functional units for executing the designation process.

The selection screen display unit 73A accesses the input information database DB1 via the communication unit 70 and displays information providers who can provide input information. The displayed information providers are information providers whose input information is collected in the input information database DB1, and therefore, information providers who permit collection of input information are the target. In this embodiment, the selection screen display unit 73A displays a selection screen listing information providers on the screen of the television 53. In addition, on the selection screen, it is also possible to set information to be acquired from among the real-time information and stationary information contained in the input information database DB1. That is, it is possible to set only real-time information, only stationary information, or both real-time information and stationary information. Then, for example, while looking at the list displayed by the selection screen display unit 73A, the user instructs the smart speaker (U) by voice to set the information provider from which behavior information is to be acquired and the real-time information and stationary information. The voice input unit 71 recognizes the voice uttered by the user and transmits the information to the designation processing unit 73. As a result, the information provider from whom behavior information is to be acquired and the behavior information to be acquired are set. In the following, we will explain an example in which provider A is specified as the information provider from whom the user wants to obtain behavioral information, and the setting is set to obtain only real-time information as behavioral information.

The designated information storage unit 73B stores information designated by the user based on the selection screen displayed by the selection screen display unit 73A. In this manner, in the designation process, an information provider from whom behavioral information is to be obtained is designated based on the selection screen displayed by the selection screen display unit 73A, and this designated information is stored by the designated information storage unit 73B.

The acquisition processing unit 74 executes an acquisition process to acquire, as behavioral information, via the Internet 20, information input to a communication device used by an information provider designated in the designation process in the course of the information provider's life. When the acquisition processing unit 74 starts the acquisition process, it first accesses the server 30 via the communication unit 70. Then, based on the information stored in the designated information storage unit 73B, it acquires behavioral information of the designated information provider. That is, in this embodiment, the acquisition processing unit 74 acquires real-time input information to the smart speaker 51 used by provider A as real-time information for provider A.

The notification processing unit 75 executes a notification process to notify the user of the behavioral information acquired by the acquisition process. The notification processing unit 75 has a first notification processing unit 75A and a second notification processing unit 75B as functional units for executing the notification process. The notification processing unit 75 also has a third notification processing unit 75C as a functional unit that reads out behavioral information stored in the memory processing unit 77 described below and notifies the user of the behavioral information.

The first notification processing unit 75A executes a first notification process to input the same information as the input information to the provider-side installation device 45A acquired by the acquisition process executed by the acquisition processing unit 74 to the user-side installation device 45B installed in the smart home 40 where the user lives. In the first notification process, the behavioral information acquired by the acquisition process is notified to the user in real time. For example, when the provider A wakes up and turns on the lighting system 52 via the smart speaker 51, this behavioral information is transmitted to the server 30 and stored in the input information database DB1. When this behavioral information is acquired in real time in the acquisition process, the first notification processing unit 75A inputs the behavioral information acquired by the acquisition processing unit 74 to the user's smart speaker (U). As a result, the lighting system 52 of the smart home 40 where the user lives is turned on. In this way, when the provider A turns on the lighting system 52 in his/her own smart home 40, the first notification processing unit 75A turns on the lighting system 52 in the smart home 40 where the user lives in approximately real time, thereby notifying the user of the behavioral information of the information provider.

After the first notification process is performed, the second notification processing unit 75B performs a second notification process to notify the user of the behavioral information of the information provider in a manner different from the first notification process. The second notification processing unit 75B stores in advance what kind of notification to perform in association with the behavioral information of the information provider. For example, when the behavioral information is acquired that the lighting system 52 is turned on for the first time during the time period when the provider A wakes up (for example, 6:00 to 8:00) as described above, the second notification processing unit 75B outputs a sound encouraging the user to wake up from the sound output unit 72. As a result, after the lighting system 52 is turned on in the smart home 40 where the user lives in accordance with the wake-up behavior of the provider A, a sound encouraging the user to wake up is output from the smart speaker (U). When the sound is output from the smart speaker (U), a synthetic sound preset in the smart speaker (U) may be used, or audio data recorded in advance in the voice of the provider A may be used. By outputting the sound in the voice of the provider A specified by the user so that the user behaves in the same way as the provider A, it is possible to more effectively guide the user's behavior.

The third notification processing unit 75C reads out behavioral information stored in the memory processing unit 77 (described later) and notifies the user of the behavioral information, rather than the behavioral information acquired by the acquisition process. For example, if the behavioral information of provider A for a certain day is stored in the memory processing unit 77, the third notification processing unit 75C performs notification processing based on the stored behavioral information. In this case, notification processing from the first notification processing unit 75A and the second notification processing unit 75B is not performed, and only notification processing from the third notification processing unit 75C is performed. Note that the user is configured to be able to select whether to perform notification processing from the first notification processing unit 75A and the second notification processing unit 75B, or notification processing from the third notification processing unit 75C.

The advertisement processing unit 76 executes advertisement processing to output advertisements related to the behavioral information acquired by the acquisition processing. The advertisement processing unit 76 has an advertisement content setting unit 76A, an advertisement timing setting unit 76B, and an advertisement output unit 76C as functional units for executing the advertisement processing.

The advertisement content setting unit 76A sets advertisement content from the advertisement information database DB2 based on the behavioral information acquired by the acquisition process. For example, when behavioral information is acquired that provider A is watching a certain television program, information on goods related to the television program is set as advertisement content, and when behavioral information is acquired that provider A is listening to music on audio 54, information related to the music being listened to is set as advertisement content. In addition, when the advertisement content setting unit 76A acquires a list of ingredients in refrigerator 55 as behavioral information, it may set information related to each ingredient as advertisement content.

The advertisement timing setting unit 76B sets the timing for outputting the advertisement information. For example, when behavioral information is acquired that provider A is watching a certain television program, the first notification processing unit 75A sets the timing for outputting the advertisement information when the same program is being broadcast on the user's television 53. When behavioral information is acquired that provider A is listening to music, the first notification processing unit 75A sets the timing for outputting the advertisement information when the same music is being broadcast on the user's audio 54. When behavioral information is acquired that shows ingredients in the refrigerator 55, the timing for outputting the advertisement information is set to the time period just before a meal when the user is hungry. In this way, the effectiveness of advertising can be increased by setting the timing for outputting the advertisement information to a time when the user is most motivated to purchase.

The advertisement output unit 76C outputs the advertisement content set by the advertisement content setting unit 76A at the timing set by the advertisement timing setting unit 76B. In this embodiment, the advertisement output unit 76C outputs advertisement information from the user-side installed device 45B corresponding to the advertisement content set by the advertisement content setting unit 76A. For example, it is possible to advertise various information by displaying images on the screen of the television 53 or the display panel of the refrigerator 55. In addition, advertisements may be made by outputting audio data from the audio 54. Note that the output mode of the advertisement information is not limited to these, and it is also possible to output advertisement information by audio from the smart speaker (U) via the audio output unit 72.

The memory processing unit 77 executes a storage process to store behavioral information that the user wishes to register. If the user likes the behavioral information provided by provider A, the user registers it as a favorite. For example, the user inputs a voice instruction to the smart speaker (U) to register the behavioral information that the user likes. Upon receiving such an instruction, the memory processing unit 77 executes a storage process to store and save the instructed behavioral information. Note that the behavioral information stored by the memory processing unit 77 may not only correspond to an entire lifestyle throughout the day, but may also correspond to a certain part of the lifestyle within a day. In this way, the behavioral information stored in the memory processing unit 77 can be behavioral information within a range appropriately set by the user.

Next, an example of the lifestyle provision process executed in the lifestyle provision system 10 will be described. Note that the following will be described using an example in which real-time information is acquired as behavioral information.

As shown in FIG. 5, the user first executes a designation process on his/her smart speaker (U) to designate the information provider (provider A) from whom he/she wishes to acquire behavioral information, and sets the behavioral information (real-time information) (step S500). Once such settings have been made, the smart speaker (U) executes an acquisition process to acquire the behavioral information of provider A by communicating with the server 30 at a predetermined period.

When provider A wakes up (step S501), provider A inputs input information M1 to smart speaker 51 to turn on lighting system 52 (step S502). This input information M1 is sent to server 30 and stored in input information database DB1 (step S503). Smart speaker (U) immediately acquires input information M1 by accessing server 30 (step S504). Then, smart speaker (U) executes first communication process to turn on lighting system 52 in smart home 40 where the user lives (step S505). After that, smart speaker (U) executes second communication process to output audio encouraging the user to wake up (step S506). This allows the user to wake up at a timing that matches provider A's wake up timing (step S507).

When the provider A inputs input information M2 for turning on the television 53 to the smart speaker 51 (step S508), the input information M2 is sent to the server 30 and stored in the input information database DB1 (step S509). The smart speaker (U) immediately obtains the input information M2 by accessing the server 30 (step S510). The smart speaker (U) then executes the first communication process and turns on the television 53 in the smart home 40 where the user lives (step S511). When the smart speaker (U) turns on the television 53, it displays the same television program as the television 53 program that the provider A is watching. After turning on the television 53, for example, when a commercial message is being broadcast, the smart speaker (U) outputs to the television 53 an image for advertising information on goods related to the television program being displayed (step S512). The user can purchase the advertised goods by giving voice instructions to the smart speaker (U).

Next, when provider A inputs input information M3 to the smart speaker 51 to output the searched breakfast recipe by voice (step S513), this input information M3 is sent to the server 30 and stored in the input information database DB1 (step S514). The smart speaker (U) immediately acquires the input information M3 by accessing the server 30 (step S515). The smart speaker (U) then executes the first communication process, and outputs the breakfast recipe searched by provider A from the smart speaker (U) in the smart home 40 where the user lives by synthetic voice (step S516).

When the provider A inputs an instruction to search for ingredients in the refrigerator 55 as input information M4 to the smart speaker 51 (step S517), the input information M4 is sent to the server 30 and stored in the input information database DB1 (step S518). The smart speaker (U) immediately acquires the input information M4 by accessing the server 30 (step S519). In this case, the smart speaker (U) outputs an advertisement related to ingredients based on the acquired input information M4 (step S520). That is, the advertisement to be output includes information related to ingredients in the provider A's refrigerator 55, such as ingredients stored in large quantities or ingredients that are always on hand among ingredients in the provider A's refrigerator 55, and ingredients that are in the provider A's refrigerator 55 but not in the user's refrigerator 55. The advertisement may be output as audio from the smart speaker (U) or as video to the screen of the television 53 or the display panel of the refrigerator 55. As shown in FIG. 5, the timing of the advertisement is set so that after the user is notified of information about breakfast recipes by the process of step S516, an advertisement about ingredients is output by the process of step S520. In this way, by outputting an advertisement about ingredients in the time period immediately before a meal when the user is hungry, the user's desire to purchase can be increased.

Provider A then eats the breakfast prepared based on the recipe (step S521). By cooking based on the notified recipe, the user can eat breakfast with the same meal content and timing as Provider A (step S522).

As shown in FIG. 6, when the provider A inputs input information M5 to turn on the audio 54 to the smart speaker 51 (step S600), the input information M5 is sent to the server 30 and stored in the input information database DB1 (step S601). The smart speaker (U) immediately obtains the input information M5 by accessing the server 30 (step S602). The smart speaker (U) then executes the first communication process and turns on the audio 54 in the smart home 40 where the user lives (step S603). When turning on the audio 54, the smart speaker (U) operates the audio 54 to play the same music as the music that the provider A is listening to. After turning on the audio 54, for example, when the music ends, the smart speaker (U) outputs an advertisement for purchasing the played music from the smart speaker (U) (step S604).

After that, when the provider A inputs input information M6 for turning on the washing machine 56 to the smart speaker 51 to start washing (step S605), this input information M6 is sent to the server 30 and stored in the input information database DB1 (step S606). The smart speaker (U) immediately obtains the input information M6 by accessing the server 30 (step S607). Then, the smart speaker (U) executes the first communication process, turns on the washing machine 56 in the smart home 40 where the user lives, and starts washing (step S608). By putting laundry in the washing machine 56 in advance, the user can perform washing at the timing when the provider A starts washing. Note that, if the provider A has set a reservation for the start time of washing, the start time of washing in the user's washing machine 56 is reserved and set according to this input information. In this way, by matching the start timing of washing between the provider A and the user, it is possible to match the end time of washing. Therefore, the user can hang out the laundry (step S610) at the same time as provider A hangs out the laundry (step S609).

In addition, provider A may check the next day's schedule, which was registered in advance before going to bed, as part of his/her lifestyle. In this case, since provider A has registered the schedule information in advance in the smart speaker 51, such information is also stored in the input information database DB1 of the server 30. That is, when provider A inputs input information M7 to the smart speaker 51 to output information on the next day's planned outing destination by voice (step S611), this input information M7 is transmitted to the server 30 and stored in the input information database DB1 (step S612). The smart speaker (U) immediately obtains the input information M7 by accessing the server 30 (step S613). Then, the smart speaker (U) executes the first communication process, and obtains information on the next day's planned outing destination by accessing the server 30, and outputs the next day's schedule by voice (step S614). This allows the user to know provider A's lifestyle for the next day in advance.

After that, when provider A inputs input information M8 to the smart speaker 51 to reserve charging of the automobile 60 at the charging facility 58 in accordance with the plan to go out the next day (step S615), this input information M8 is sent to the server 30 and stored in the input information database DB1 (step S616). The smart speaker (U) immediately obtains the input information M8 by accessing the server 30 (step S617). The smart speaker (U) then executes the first communication process and sets a charging reservation for the charging facility 58 in the smart home 40 where the user lives (step S618).

After that, when provider A goes to bed, provider A inputs input information M9 to turn off the lighting system 52 to the smart speaker 51 (step S619). This input information M9 is sent to the server 30 and stored in the input information database DB1 (step S620). The smart speaker (U) immediately obtains the input information M9 by accessing the server 30 (step S621). Then, the smart speaker (U) executes the first communication process and turns off the lighting system 52 in the smart home 40 where the user lives (step S622). Then, the smart speaker (U) executes the second communication process and outputs a sound encouraging the user to go to bed (step S623). This allows the user to go to bed at a timing that matches provider A's bedtime timing (step S624) (step S625).

In this way, after experiencing provider A's lifestyle for one day, if the user likes the behavioral information provided by provider A, the user registers it as a favorite. For example, if the lifestyle from waking up to breakfast is attractive to the user, the user instructs the smart speaker (U) to register the behavioral information that the user likes, for example by specifying the date and time when the behavioral information was acquired. As a result, the smart speaker (U) stores the information stored in the server 30 in the processing of steps S503, S509, S514, S518, etc. in FIG. 5 in the storage processing unit 77, making it possible to provide the lifestyle without communicating with the server 30.

When the user wants to reproduce the behavioral information in the favorites stored in the memory processing unit 77 among the lifestyle of provider A specified by the user, the smart speaker (U) is set to read out the behavioral information stored in the memory processing unit 77 and notify the user. In this case, the third notification processing unit 75C of the smart speaker (U) reads out the behavioral information stored in the memory processing unit 77 and notifies the user of the behavioral information. This allows the user to repeatedly reproduce provider A's lifestyle one morning.

In addition, in the processing of step S500, if the behavioral information is set to be acquired as stationary information, the smart speaker (U) acquires stationary information contained in the input information database DB1 of the server 30, rather than the real-time behavioral information of provider A. In this case, the smart speaker (U) notifies provider A of the behavioral information at a predetermined timing based on the stationary information acquired by accessing the server 30. Note that the notification method can be the same as that when the behavioral information is set to be acquired as real-time information. That is, if the input information for turning on the lighting system 52 is set at a predetermined timing as the stationary information, the notification is performed by turning on the lighting system 52 in the smart home 40 where the user lives at the predetermined timing.

Note that the manner in which a lifestyle is provided in the lifestyle providing process is not limited to the above. For example, it is also possible to provide a lifestyle by combining real-time information and steady-state information. It is also possible to provide a lifestyle for one day by combining behavioral information acquired from multiple information providers. As one example, it is possible to provide a lifestyle throughout one day by acquiring real-time information of provider A as the morning lifestyle, acquiring steady-state information of provider A as the daytime lifestyle, and reading and acquiring behavioral information of provider A for one day stored in the storage processing unit 77 as the evening lifestyle. It is also possible to set it so that behavioral information of provider A is acquired as the morning lifestyle, and behavioral information of provider B, which is different from provider A, is acquired as the evening lifestyle.

The operation and effects of this embodiment will be described.
(1) In this embodiment, a lifestyle providing program is installed in the smart speaker (U) used by the user, and an acquisition process is executed to acquire input information to a communication device used by the information provider in the course of the information provider's life as behavioral information related to the lifestyle via the Internet 20. In addition, a notification process is executed to notify the user of the behavioral information acquired by the acquisition process. In this way, the behavioral information of the information provider is acquired based on input information to the smart speaker 51 used by the information provider, and the acquired behavioral information is notified to the user, so that the user can know the lifestyle of the information provider. The user can change his/her own lifestyle by referring to the lifestyle of the information provider. Therefore, the user can learn model cases of lifestyles from the information provider, and can increase the options for his/her own lifestyle and get an opportunity to seek a better lifestyle. As a result, it is possible to enrich the user's life.

(2) In this embodiment, a lifestyle providing program is installed in a smart speaker (U) used by a user, and a designation process is executed in which the user designates an information provider from whom behavioral information is to be acquired. Then, in the acquisition process, information input to a communication device used by the information provider designated in the designation process in the course of the information provider's life is acquired as behavioral information. In this way, by acquiring behavioral information of the information provider designated by the user, it becomes possible to acquire lifestyle-related information from information providers in whom the user has a high level of interest. This makes it possible to encourage changes in the user's lifestyle, further contributing to enriching the user's life.

(3) In this embodiment, the acquisition process acquires, as behavioral information, input information to a smart speaker 51 installed in the smart home 40 in which the information provider lives. Therefore, input information to a provider-side installed device 45A such as an IoT home appliance 50 installed in the smart home 40 in which the information provider lives, i.e., information on the usage mode of the provider-side installed device 45A, can be acquired as behavioral information. Therefore, the user can acquire behavioral information that is in line with the real life of the information provider. As a result, it is possible to improve the accuracy of lifestyle information provided by the information provider.

(4) In this embodiment, the information provider's behavioral information is notified to the user by operating the user-side installed device 45B so that the information provider operates the provider-side installed device 45A in the same usage state. This makes it possible to reproduce the information provider's lifestyle in the smart home 40 in which the user lives, and the user can experience the information provider's lifestyle. In this way, by experiencing the lifestyle of a specified information provider, the user can judge the affinity with the information provider's lifestyle. This makes it possible to further encourage changes in lifestyle, which can contribute to enriching the user's life.

(5) In this embodiment, after the information provider operates the user-side installation device 45B so that the user-side installation device 45B is in the same usage state as when the information provider operated the provider-side installation device 45A, the behavioral information is notified in a different manner. In this way, by notifying the information provider's behavioral information in two stages in different manners, it becomes easier to guide the user to adopt the information provider's lifestyle. This makes it possible to further promote changes in the user's lifestyle.

(6) In this embodiment, the acquisition process acquires input information to the smart speaker 51 in real time, and the notification process notifies the user of the behavioral information acquired by the acquisition process in real time. This makes it possible to know the behavioral information of the information provider in real time. This makes it possible to change the user's lifestyle based on the latest lifestyle of the information provider.

(7) In this embodiment, the smart speaker (U) executes an advertising process that outputs advertising information related to the behavioral information acquired by the acquisition process. Therefore, advertising information related to the behavioral information of the information provider is output to the user. The information provider designated by the user is a person who is of high interest to the user, and the advertising information related to the behavioral information of the information provider is related to a lifestyle that the user wants to refer to, so the advertising effect on the user can be increased. Therefore, it becomes possible to provide highly effective advertising to the user.

(8) In this embodiment, the user registers and stores behavioral information related to a favorite lifestyle in the smart speaker (U). The user can then set the smart speaker (U) to read out the registered behavioral information, thereby recreating the favorite lifestyle as many times as desired. In other words, the user can easily make a new lifestyle a habit by repeatedly recreating a registered lifestyle among the lifestyles of the information provider. In addition, by registering not only the entire lifestyle of a day, but also part of a day's lifestyle, the user can gradually change his or her own lifestyle, starting from a part of it, rather than changing it all at once. This makes it possible to lower the hurdle for changing a lifestyle. As a result, it is possible to further promote changes in the user's lifestyle.

(8) In this embodiment, in the acquisition process, at least one of real-time information and steady-state information is selected to acquire behavioral information. Therefore, the user can select a lifestyle that he or she would like to refer to from the real-time behavioral information and steady-state behavioral information of the information provider. Therefore, according to the above configuration, it is possible to provide a lifestyle that is more suitable for the user.

(9) In this embodiment, the acquisition process acquires behavioral information from information providers who have permitted the collection of input information. This makes it possible to change the collection status of input information based on the settings of the information provider. This makes it possible to increase the flexibility of the way lifestyles are provided, including to information providers.

The above embodiment can be modified as follows: The above embodiment and the following modifications can be combined with each other to the extent that no technical contradiction occurs.
In the above embodiment, the selection screen display unit 73A displays the selection screen on the screen of the television 53. However, the selection screen may be displayed on the screen of a smartphone or a personal computer used by the user. In this case, the user can specify the information provider from whom the behavioral information is to be acquired by operating the smartphone or the personal computer. In addition, the selection screen displayed in the specification process may display information related to the lifestyle of the information provider stored in advance (e.g., routine behavioral information from waking up to going to bed, and information on activity times such as waking up time and going to bed time) to provide information that is useful for the user when making a specification.

- In the above embodiment, the acquisition process acquires input information from an input information database DB1 configured for information providers who have permitted the collection of input information, thereby acquiring behavioral information for information providers who have permitted the collection of input information. This configuration can be modified as appropriate. For example, the acquisition process may acquire input information regardless of whether the information provider has permitted the collection of input information. In this case, the server 30 may collect input information and construct the input information database DB1 regardless of whether the information provider has permitted the collection of input information.

- In the above embodiment, the storage process is described by taking as an example a case where behavioral information experienced by the user is stored. Alternatively or in addition to this configuration, it is also possible to select behavioral information related to the lifestyle to be registered from the input information database DB1 of the server 30 and store it in the storage processing unit 77 as the storage process. Even with this configuration, since the input information database DB1 of the server 30 stores input information to the communication device used by the information provider, it can be said that the lifestyle providing program causes the user's terminal device to execute the acquisition process.

- In the above embodiment, the server 30 derives stationary information based on multiple pieces of real-time information that have been collected and accumulated. However, the method of storing stationary information in the server 30 can be changed as appropriate. For example, an information provider may directly register his/her own stationary information in the server 30, and the server 30 may store the stationary information of the information provider. Furthermore, the stationary information registered by the information provider may be modified in accordance with the actual behavioral information of the information provider by reflecting real-time information collected by the server 30.

- Real-time information and steady-state information are stored in the input information database DB1 stored in the server 30. This configuration may be changed so that only one of the real-time information and steady-state information is stored.

The storage processing unit 77 does not necessarily have to be provided.
In the above embodiment, the advertising information of the advertisers who have paid the advertising fee in advance can be stored in the advertising information database DB2, and when performing advertising processing, the advertising information of the advertisers who have paid the advertising fee can be preferentially output from among the advertising information related to the behavioral information of the information provider. Also, the information provider can be set to be able to register information on ingredients and other items that he or she uses in advance, and the advertising information database DB2 can be made to store advertising information related to the information registered by the information provider.

- In the above embodiment, the advertising information is output to the user-side device 45B, but the device that outputs the advertisement is not limited to the user-side device 45B, and the advertising information may be output to a smartphone or a personal computer owned by the user.

- As an example of advertising processing, an example has been given in which advertising information related to the behavioral information acquired by the acquisition processing is output, but the advertising information output as advertising processing does not necessarily have to be related to the behavioral information acquired.

In the above embodiment, the advertisement process does not necessarily have to be executed. For example, it is possible to set the advertisement process not to be executed for a user who has paid a fee.
Although an example of a notification mode in the notification process in which input information acquired from an information provider is notified in real time has been described, it is not necessary to notify in real time. For example, it is also possible to notify with a predetermined delay after acquiring the input information. As such a notification mode, for example, it is also possible to uniformly notify each piece of input information acquired from an information provider with a delay of several hours (for example, six hours). With this configuration, it is also possible to provide the lifestyle of a morning-type information provider in accordance with the lifestyle of a night-type user.

- In the above embodiment, a method of outputting sound from the smart speaker (U) is exemplified as the second notification process executed by the second notification processing unit 75B. The notification form of the second notification process is not limited to this. For example, the second notification process may be to output a pre-recorded video to the television 53, or to play music from the audio 54. Note that the second notification process may be to operate multiple installed devices 45, rather than to operate one installed device 45, to prompt the user to take action.

- In the above embodiment, the first notification process and the second notification process are executed to notify the user of the behavioral information of the information provider in two stages, but this configuration can be modified. For example, only one of the first notification process and the second notification process may be executed. In addition, the notification process may be executed multiple times to provide three or more stages of notification.

- In the above embodiment, the behavior information is notified by inputting the same information as the input information to the provider-side installation device 45A to the user-side installation device 45B installed in the smart home 40 where the user lives. The notification method is not limited to this. For example, the contents of the information provider's input information may be notified by outputting a synthetic voice from the smart speaker (U) used by the user based on the input information to the provider-side installation device 45A. That is, information input from the washing machine 56 to the information provider's smart speaker 51 may include, for example, information on the remaining amount of detergent in the washing machine 56. When the smart speaker (U) acquires such input information, it may notify by outputting a synthetic voice notifying the user of the remaining amount of detergent. Also, instead of simply notifying the user of the remaining amount of detergent, it may notify by outputting a synthetic voice to encourage the user to refill the detergent. In addition, when the information provider turns on the lighting system 52 after waking up, it is also possible to notify the user that the information provider has woken up, rather than simply notifying the user of information that the lighting system 52 has been turned on.

Other notification methods include a variety of methods such as visual notification, buzzer notification, and vibration notification. Notification may also be given by displaying a message on the user's smartphone, computer, etc.

- The building in which the information provider lives is not limited to the smart home 40 as the information provider's home. For example, a rental home or rental room for information acquisition, equipped with various installed devices 45 including communication devices, may be prepared, and input information obtained when the information provider lives in such a building for a specified period of time may be obtained, thereby making it possible to obtain behavioral information related to the information provider's lifestyle.

- In the above embodiment, an example was shown in which operation information when the information provider actually operates various devices was acquired as input information to the communication device, but the behavioral information provided by the information provider is not limited to this. For example, if the information provider manages his/her schedule by inputting his/her daily activity plan (waking up at 8:00 a.m., breakfast at 8:30 a.m., etc.) into the communication device, information on this activity plan may be acquired as input information. In this case, although it is not based on the actual behavior of the information provider, the user will be notified in accordance with the information provider's planned behavior. It is possible to provide the information provider's lifestyle to the user using this method as well.

- In the above embodiment, a lifestyle in which the information provider operates the lighting system 52 when waking up is exemplified, but the behavior when waking up is not limited to this. For example, it is also possible to obtain the alarm time set by the information provider for waking up as input information, and notify the user of the wake-up behavior by setting the alarm at the set time. In this case, the setting mode of the alarm is not particularly limited, and the alarm can be set using, for example, a smartphone or smartwatch owned by the user.

- In the above embodiment, if the IoT home appliance 50 is a bathroom in which the time to fill the bathtub with hot water and the temperature of the hot water can be set, it is also possible to obtain the time to fill the bathtub with hot water and the set hot water temperature set by the information provider as input information.

- Information providers can also be ranked in various ways. For example, information providers can be ranked so as to distinguish between information providers that the user can specify by paying a fee and information providers that the user can specify without paying a fee.

- In the above embodiment, the user's smart speaker (U) periodically accesses the server 30 to acquire behavioral information. Instead of this configuration, the smart speaker (U) may periodically access the smart speaker 51 used by the information provider to acquire input information. Also, instead of accessing from the smart speaker (U), the input information may be acquired by transmitting the input information each time from the smart speaker 51 used by the information provider or the server 30 to the user's smart speaker (U). Furthermore, when notifying the user of input information based on stationary information, the smart speaker (U) can access the server 30 once to acquire stationary information, and then notify at a predetermined timing based on the acquired stationary information. In this case, the smart speaker (U) does not need to access the server 30 while notifying behavioral information based on stationary information.

- In the above embodiment, a configuration is realized in which input information is acquired for a smart speaker 51 or smartphone that can be operated by the information provider, and input information is acquired for a communication device used by the information provider in the course of the information provider's life. Instead of or in addition to this configuration, a configuration is made in which another installation device 45 (e.g., a television 53, etc.) installed in the smart home 40 in which the information provider lives can output an operation signal received by the installation device 45 via the Internet 20. Then, it is also possible for the user's terminal device to acquire an operation signal output directly from the installation device 45 to the installation device 45 as input information for the communication device. In this configuration, each installation device 45 installed in the smart home 40 in which the information provider lives also functions as a provider-side installation device 45A (communication device). In this configuration, the server 30 is not necessarily required. If the server 30 is not provided, the function of accumulating input information transmitted from each installation device 45 and creating a database may be substituted by a terminal device used by the user.

- In the above embodiment, the provider-side installation device 45A has been described as an example of the communication device used by the information provider. The communication device used by the information provider is not limited to this, and it is also possible to adopt a communication device that is not installed in the smart home 40. For example, it is also possible to acquire input information to a smart watch worn by the information provider or a car navigation system installed in the automobile 60 as behavioral information. Examples of input information that can be acquired from a smart watch include motion information such as the information provider's walking, running, and stationary state, as well as the information provider's location information. Examples of input information that can be acquired from a car navigation system include information on the destination, arrival time, and music information during a drive. In this way, by acquiring behavioral information from a communication device used by the information provider, it is possible to know the lifestyle of the information provider in various situations.

- In the above embodiment, a designation process is executed to allow the user to designate the information provider from which behavioral information is to be obtained, but this configuration does not necessarily have to be provided. For example, behavioral information may be obtained from an arbitrary information provider selected from a plurality of information providers, and the user may be notified of the lifestyle of the selected information provider. Also, in the acquisition process, the information provider most suitable for the user may be selected from a plurality of information providers, and behavioral information may be obtained. Note that in such a case, since the user cannot know who the information provider is, the information of the information provider may be notified to the user. The timing of the notification may be set appropriately, and may be before or after the behavioral information is notified by the notification process.

- The terminal device used by the user is not limited to the smart speaker 51, but can be any suitable device such as a smartphone, tablet PC, personal computer, or smart watch, as long as it is capable of executing the various processes executed by the lifestyle provision program.
