FIG. 4 shows a configuration example of the diagnosis history database 201c according to the first embodiment. Diagnosis history database 2
01c includes a user ID 401 for identifying a system user for each individual, a name 402 of the system user who owns the user ID 401, and a date of birth, gender, occupation, etc. of the system user corresponding to the user ID 401. The personal information 403 and a plurality of diagnosis histories 404 storing diagnosis history information when the system according to the first embodiment is used are stored.

The specific contents of the diagnosis history 404 include the date of use of the system, the results of diagnosis by the diagnosis program 201d, the optimum combination of sound and image selected by the diagnosis program 201d, and the actual selection. Relaxation level indicating satisfaction when relaxation therapy is performed using selected sound, selected sound, relaxation level indicating satisfaction when relaxation therapy is performed using actually selected video and selected video The level and the overall relaxation level indicating the overall satisfaction when the relaxation therapy is performed using the selected combination of sound and video are stored.

In the first embodiment, the relaxation level is “0-3” indicated by “0: not unpleasant or unfavorable, 1: unknown effect, 2: comfortable, 3: very satisfied or preferred”. It is represented in four stages. However,
The classification of the relaxation level is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this.

In the above configuration, in the first embodiment,
When the system user executes the relaxation therapy control program 305a by using the terminal device 102 and transfers the diagnostic items to the host device 101 via the communication network 103, the host device 101 executes the diagnostic program 201d. Then, a diagnosis is performed based on the diagnosis item, an optimal combination of sound and image suitable for relaxation corresponding to the diagnosis result is selected, and the corresponding sound and image are transferred to the terminal device 102 via the communication network 103. Thereafter, the terminal device 102 outputs the sound and the image via the speaker 303 and the display unit 301,
It is intended to provide relaxation therapy with sound and video that is optimal for system users.

FIG. 5 shows a schematic flowchart of the first embodiment. First, when the system user activates the control program 305a of the terminal device 102 and inputs a user ID, the terminal device 102 sends the user ID via the communication network 103. Then, the user ID is transmitted to the host device 101 (S501).

Upon input of the user ID (S502), the host apparatus 101 searches the diagnosis history database 201c for diagnosis history information of the corresponding system user based on the user ID, and stores the diagnosis history information in the terminal apparatus 102.
(S503).

Upon receiving the diagnosis history information, the terminal device 102 displays the contents of the diagnosis history information on the display unit 301 (S504). By displaying the contents of the diagnosis history information, the system user can know the past usage status (that is, the diagnosis result when used in the past, the combination of sound and video, and the relaxation level). here,
It is possible to select a combination of sound and video to be used this time from the displayed diagnosis history information. Specifically, when the icon at the corresponding display position is clicked using the mouse of the input unit 302, the clicked icon is selected (S505). If the diagnosis item is selected from the diagnosis history information, the process proceeds to step S506. If the diagnosis item input is selected (that is, if the diagnosis item is not selected from the diagnosis history information), the process proceeds to step S509.

If it is determined in step S505 that the information is selected from the diagnosis history information, the selected diagnosis history information is transmitted to the host device 101 (S506).

Upon receiving the diagnostic history information from the terminal device 102 (S507), the host device 101 reads out the corresponding combination of sound and video from the audio database 201a and the video database 201b according to the content of the received diagnostic history information. Then, the audio data and the video data are transmitted to the terminal device 102 (S508).

On the other hand, if the diagnosis item input is selected in step S505 (that is, if the diagnosis item is not selected from the diagnosis history information), the terminal device 102 displays the predetermined diagnosis item on the display unit 301 and uses the system Prompts for input.
After that, when the system user inputs a diagnostic item, the diagnostic item is transmitted to the host device 101.

Upon receiving the diagnosis item, the host device 101 starts a diagnosis using the diagnosis item (S510), and selects a combination of sound and image based on the diagnosis result (S510).
511). Here, as shown in the diagnosis history 404 of FIG. 4, three combinations of “first combination” to “third combination” are selected in priority order as the combination of sound and video.

Subsequently, the diagnosis history database 201c is searched using the user ID of the system user, the current diagnosis result, and the combination of sound and video as search keys, and relaxation therapy has been performed in the past with the same contents. It is determined whether or not the relaxation level is higher than or equal to a predetermined value (“2: comfortable” in the first embodiment) at that time (S512).

Here, if the relaxation level of the "first combination" is equal to or more than a predetermined value, the "first combination"
Is determined as the optimal combination of sound and video, but if the combination is not equal to or greater than the predetermined value, it is determined whether the relaxation level of the “second combination” is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, and is determined to be equal to or greater than the predetermined value. If so, the "second combination" is determined as the optimal combination of sound and video. If the “second combination” is not equal to or greater than the predetermined value, it is determined whether the relaxation level of the “third combination” is equal to or greater than the predetermined value. Combination ”is determined as the optimal combination of sound and image. Further, when the "third combination" is not equal to or more than the predetermined value, the detailed description is omitted, but the process returns to step S511 to select a combination of sound and video again.

On the other hand, in step S512, if the relaxation therapy has not been performed in the past with the same content, the "first combination" is determined as the optimal combination of sound and image.

Next, based on the optimal combination of sound and image determined in step S512, the corresponding combination of sound and image is read from the sound database 201a and the image database 201b, and the sound data and the image data are read. The data is transmitted to the terminal device 102 (S513).

When receiving the sound data and the video data (S514), the terminal device 102 outputs the sound and the video via the speaker 303 and the display unit 301 to execute the relaxation therapy (S515). afterwards,
When the system user clicks the "end" icon on the display unit 301 (S516), the output of the sound and the image is stopped, and the user is prompted to input the relaxation level of the sound and the image used this time. When you enter the relaxation level, the entered relaxation level
The level is transmitted to the host device 101 (S517), and the process ends.

The host device 101 has a relaxation mode.
When the level is received, diagnostic history information is created and stored in the diagnostic history 404 of the diagnostic history database 201c (S
518), the process ends.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, when the relaxation therapy is started, symptoms and conditions are individually diagnosed based on the diagnosis items input by the system user. In addition, it is possible to provide a relaxation therapy with optimal sound and video.

Further, after the relaxation therapy is completed, the user of the system inputs the relaxation level (satisfaction level), thereby capturing the individual's preference for sound and image, so that the sound and image optimal for each person can be obtained. Can provide relaxation therapy. Furthermore, the relaxation level input at this time is stored together with the diagnosis result, so that the system user can know what state (diagnosis result) the level has been determined. Therefore, for example, the same person may find the combination of sound and video judged to be unpleasant in a sad mood to be comfortable in a frustrated mood. Therefore, it is possible to use a sound or a video that was previously uncomfortable in a different situation.

Also, since the diagnosis history information is stored in the diagnosis history database 201c, the system user finds the optimal relaxation therapy using sound and video without using the system user's consciousness during repeated use. be able to.

For long-term continuous use,
This is convenient because you can select your favorite from the diagnosis history information yourself.

Also, since the optimum combination of sound and image changes according to the diagnosis result, in other words, the combination of sound and image provided changes along with the change of the symptom or state of the system user, so that the freshness is maintained. be able to.

Although not particularly mentioned in the first embodiment, the system user can freely select a favorite one from the menu screen of sound and video and use it like BGM or environmental video. is there.
