(Information collection flow)
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an information collection flow according to the embodiment. The information collection flow according to the embodiment is executed by the information communication terminal 100. It is not necessary to execute all the steps in the following information collection flow, and some steps may be omitted at the discretion of the user.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in step S <b> 1, the control unit 140 sets a photographing screen (hereinafter, referred to as a photographing screen) for causing a user to photograph a wearing part and a surrounding part in a non-wearing state where the diaper is not worn by the wearer. "A non-wearing state photographing screen" is displayed on the display unit 121. In addition, the site | part of the circumference | surroundings of an installation site | part means a belly, a back, a side flank, a thigh circumference, etc. On the non-wearing state photographing screen, a subject photographed by the photographing unit 110 is displayed in real time, and one or a plurality of guide marks for adjusting a photographing position and a photographing range with respect to the subject displayed on the photographing screen are displayed. You. Details of such a shooting screen will be described later.

  In step S2, the control unit 140 records a photographed image obtained by photographing the subject by the photographing unit 110 in step S1 (hereinafter, referred to as a “non-wearing state photographed image”). In the embodiment, an example in which the captured image is a still image (photograph) will be described, but the captured image may be a moving image. The control unit 140 uploads the recorded non-wearing state captured image to the server 200 together with the basic information of the user.

  It is not necessary to record the non-wearing state photographed image each time the diaper is replaced, and may be performed at a predetermined timing. For example, a non-wearing state captured image may be recorded when changing the product name, specification, or size of a diaper to be used, or a non-wearing state captured image may be recorded when performing initial setting of an information collection program or user registration. It may be recorded.

  By collecting the non-wearing state photographed images, the body shape of the wearer can be grasped, and the cause of the problem such as leakage in the diaper can be easily specified. For example, it is possible to determine whether the cause of the problem such as leakage, displacement, gather marks is a diaper structure or the like, or whether the cause is in the body shape of the wearer.

  Next, step S3 is executed after the wearer wears the diaper and before the wearer excretes excrement. In step S3, the control unit 140 displays a photographing screen (hereinafter, referred to as a “wearing state photographing screen”) for allowing the user to photograph the diaper and its surrounding parts as subjects in the wearing state in which the diaper is worn by the wearer. It is displayed on the section 121. On the wearing state photographing screen, a subject photographed by the photographing unit 110 is displayed in real time, and one or more guide marks for adjusting a photographing position and a photographing range for the subject displayed on the photographing screen are displayed. .

  In step S4, the control unit 140 records a photographed image obtained by photographing the subject by the photographing unit 110 in step S3 (hereinafter, referred to as a “wearing state photographed image”). The control unit 140 uploads the recorded non-wearing state captured image to the server 200 together with the basic information of the user.

  In this manner, by collecting the wearing state photographed image before the wearer excretes excrement, it is possible to grasp whether or not the diaper was appropriately worn at the start of use of the diaper.

  Next, step S5 is executed after the wearer wears the diaper and after the wearer has excreted excrement. In step S5, the control unit 140 causes the display unit 121 to display a wearing state photographing screen.

  In step S6, the control unit 140 records the mounted state photographed image obtained by the photographing unit 110 in step S5. The control unit 140 uploads the recorded non-wearing state captured image to the server 200 together with the basic information of the user.

  In this way, by collecting the wearing state photographed image after the wearer has excreted excrement, a detailed situation immediately after the use of the diaper can be grasped. In addition, by collecting images of the wearing state before and after excretion, it is also possible to grasp whether or not a diaper shift has already occurred at the start of diaper use.

  Next, step S7 is executed after the wearer has excreted excrement and the wearer does not wear the diaper (that is, after taking off the diaper). Alternatively, step S7 may be executed after the wearer has excreted excrement and while the wearer wears the diaper. In step S7, the control unit 140 is an input screen for prompting the user to specify a problem location where a problem has occurred due to the use of the diaper, and includes an input image including a diaper illustration image or a body illustration image including a diaper attachment site. A screen (hereinafter, referred to as a “problem location input screen”) is displayed on the display unit 121. The details of the problem location input screen will be described later.

  In step S8, the control unit 140 accepts, by the input unit 122, an operation of designating a problem location in the illustration image displayed in step S7, and records the problem location. The control unit 140 uploads the recorded information on the problem location (problem location data) to the server 200 together with the basic information of the user.

  In this way, by letting the user specify the problem location using the illustration image, the location where the problem has occurred due to the use of the diaper can be efficiently and appropriately determined without depending on the state of the used diaper or the shooting environment. It can be grasped.

  In steps S7 and S8, the control unit 140 acquires a photographed image obtained by photographing a subject including at least one of the used diaper and the body of the wearer of the diaper, and acquires the photographed image designated for the illustration image. Information about the problem location (problem location data) may be associated with the captured image. Here, associating means giving the same ID, recording in the same recording area, or uploading them collectively to the server. As a result, it is possible to efficiently and appropriately grasp the problem location by using the information on the problem location designated for the illustration image and the captured image together.

  Steps S7 and S8 may be executed in parallel with steps S5 and S6, or may be executed before steps S5 and S6.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing details of steps S7 and S8 (that is, a procedure for collecting problem location information).

  As shown in FIG. 3, in step S701, the control unit 140 causes the display unit 121 to display a problem location input screen. A button for allowing the user to select the type of the question is displayed on the question location input screen. The types of questions include “leakage”, “fog”, “gather trace”, and “displacement”. "Leakage" refers to the excretion leaking from the diaper, "Fogging" refers to the wearer's skin being rashed by the use of the diaper, and "Gather marks" refers to the marks on the diaper gathered. It refers to contact with the body of a person, and "displacement" refers to a deviation in the mounting position and range of the diaper after use from the proper mounting position and range of the diaper.

  When “leak” is selected as the type of the question (step S702: YES), the control unit 140 causes the display unit 121 to display a leak location input screen including the diaper illustration image in step S703. Then, when the input unit 122 receives an operation of designating a region corresponding to the leak location on the illustration image of the diaper by a touch operation or a slide operation, the control unit 140 records the designated leak location. The user can intuitively and easily specify a leak location by enabling a leak location to be specified by a touch operation or a slide operation on a diaper illustration image. In addition, a button for attaching a photographed image (photograph) obtained by photographing the subject including the leak part is displayed on the leak part input screen. However, the attachment of the photographed image is not essential and can be omitted. When the captured image is attached (step S704: YES), in step S705, the control unit 140 associates the attached captured image with the illustration image (problem location).

  If “fogging” is selected as the question type (step S706: YES), the control unit 140 causes the display unit 121 to display a fogging point input screen including a body illustration image in step S707. Then, when the input unit 122 receives an operation of designating a region corresponding to the fogging point on the illustration image of the body by a touch operation or a sliding operation, the control unit 140 records the designated fogging point. By allowing the user to specify a fogging point by a touch operation or a sliding operation on the illustration image of the body, the user can intuitively and easily specify the fogging point. In addition, a button for attaching a photographed image (photograph) obtained by photographing the subject including the blurred portion is displayed on the blurred portion input screen. However, the attachment of the photographed image is not essential and can be omitted. If the captured image is attached (step S708: YES), in step S709, the control unit 140 associates the attached captured image with the illustration image (problem location).

  When “gather trace” is selected as the type of the question (step S710: YES), in step S711, the control unit 140 causes the display unit 121 to display a gather trace location input screen including a body illustration image. Then, when the input unit 122 receives an operation of designating a region corresponding to the gather trace portion on the illustration image of the body by a touch operation or a slide operation, the control unit 140 records the designated gather trace portion. By making it possible to specify a gather trace portion by a touch operation or a slide operation on an illustration image of a body, a user can intuitively and easily specify a gather trace portion. In addition, a button for attaching a photographed image (photograph) obtained by photographing the subject including the gather trace portion is displayed on the gather trace portion input screen. However, the attachment of the photographed image is not essential and can be omitted. If the captured image is attached (step S712: YES), in step S713, the control unit 140 associates the attached captured image with the illustration image (problem location).

  When “displacement” is selected as the type of the question (step S714: YES), in step S715, the control unit 140 displays on the display unit 121 a displacement location input screen including a plurality of buttons indicating candidates for the displacement location. Let it. Then, when the input unit 122 receives an operation of designating a button corresponding to the shift position by a touch operation, the control unit 140 records the specified shift position. As for “shift”, similarly to “fog” and “gather trace”, the shift location may be designated using an illustration image of the body. In addition, a button for attaching a captured image (photograph) obtained by photographing the subject including the deviation point is displayed on the deviation point input screen. However, the attachment of the photographed image is not essential and can be omitted. If the captured image is attached (step S712: YES), in step S713, the control unit 140 associates the attached captured image with the illustration image (problem location).

  As described above, the control unit 140 selects which of the diaper illustration image and the body illustration image is to be displayed according to the type of the question, and displays an input screen including the selected illustration image on the display unit 121. By doing so, it is possible to appropriately use the illustration images according to the type of problem caused by the use of the diaper.

(Example of shooting screen)
Next, an example of a shooting screen will be described with reference to FIG.

  The non-wearing state photographing screen (for the back side) shown in FIG. 4B includes a guide mark GM21 for aligning the back of the navel of the wearer and a guide mark GM22 for aligning the lower end line of the buttocks of the wearer. And a guide mark GM23 for aligning the contour of the body of the wearer. Each guide mark is transparently displayed on the subject displayed in real time on the non-wearing state shooting screen. The non-wearing state photographing screen shown in FIG. 4B further includes a character string CS indicating how to use the guide mark, and a photographing button (shutter button) SB for executing photographing.

  The guide mark GM21 has a cross shape, and prompts the user to adjust the position of the back of the umbilicus of the wearer to the intersection of the cross. The guide mark GM22 is a non-linear broken line, and prompts the user to match the lower end line of the buttocks of the wearer to the broken line. The guide mark GM33 is a plurality of non-linear broken lines, and prompts the user to adjust the position and range of the wearer's body to a region surrounded by these broken lines. Areas surrounded by these broken lines are shaded. The user moves the information communication terminal 100 or adjusts the zoom magnification and the like of the photographing unit 110 of the information communication terminal 100 according to each guide mark. Thereafter, when the user operates the photographing button SB, the photographed image is recorded in the information communication terminal 100 (memory 141).

  The non-wearing state photographing screen (for the side surface) shown in FIG. 4C includes a guide mark GM31 for aligning the navel of the wearer, a guide mark GM32 for aligning the lower end line of the buttocks of the wearer, And a guide mark GM33 for aligning the contour of the body of the wearer. Each guide mark is transparently displayed on the subject displayed in real time on the non-wearing state shooting screen. The non-wearing state photographing screen shown in FIG. 4C further includes a character string CS indicating a method of using the guide mark, a photographing button (shutter button) SB for performing photographing, and a left and right inversion of the guide mark. Left and right inversion button IB for display. With the left / right inversion button IB, when the wearer is lying sideways, it is not necessary to invert the body direction of the wearer in accordance with the guide mark.

  The guide mark GM31 has a cross mark shape, and prompts the user to adjust the position of the back of the umbilicus of the wearer to the intersection of the cross. The guide mark GM32 is a straight dashed line, and prompts the user to align the lower end line of the wearer's buttocks with the broken line. The guide mark GM33 is a plurality of non-linear broken lines, and prompts the user to adjust the position and range of the wearer's body to a region surrounded by these broken lines.

  Although the non-wearing state shooting screen has been described in detail above, the wearing state shooting screen can have the same configuration as the non-wearing state shooting screen. However, a guide mark (for example, the guide mark GM22 in FIG. 4B) relating to a wearing part that cannot be seen by the diaper may not be provided on the wearing state photographing screen.

  Alternatively, an image obtained by processing a captured image (non-wearing state captured image) obtained using the non-wearing state imaging screen may be used as a guide mark in the wearing state imaging screen. For example, a translucent image of the non-wearing state photographed image may be displayed on the wearing state photographing screen as a guide mark. In this case, it is easier to grasp the positional relationship between the body and the diaper. Instead of processing to be translucent, the contour of the subject (body) in the non-wearing state photographed image may be extracted and the extracted contour may be displayed as a guide mark on the wearing state photographing screen.

(Example of problem location input screen)
Next, an example of the problem location input screen will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the first half of the problem location input screen. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the latter half of the problem location input screen.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the problem location input screen displayed on the display unit 121 (the touch panel display 120) by the control unit 140 is for allowing the wearer to select the type of excrement that the wearer did in the initial state. Character string CS1 and selection buttons SB1 to SB5, character string CS2 and selection buttons SB6 to SB8 for selecting the presence or absence of leakage, and character string CS6 for selecting the presence and type of other problems (other troubles). Selection buttons SB16 to SB20 and a registration button EB for registering input information are included. When any one of the selection buttons is tapped by the user, control unit 140 records information corresponding to the operated selection button.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the button SB6 indicating "leakage" or the button SB8 indicating "leakage likely" is tapped with respect to the presence or absence of leakage, the control unit 140 causes the type of excrement related to leakage to be selected. Character string CS3 and selection buttons SB9 to SB12, character string CS4 and selection buttons SB13 to SB15 for selecting the degree of leakage, character string CS5 for allowing the user to specify the leakage location, and diaper illustration image IL1, The display unit 121 displays an IL2 and a button PB1 for attaching a photographed image (photograph) of the leak location.

  Here, the diaper illustration image IL1 is used when the leak location is on the front side of the diaper. When the illustration image IL1 is tapped (operated), as shown in FIG. 7A, the illustration image IL1 on the front side of the diaper is enlarged and displayed. In the example of FIG. 7A, the illustration image IL1 on the front side of the diaper includes six regions, specifically, a region corresponding to the stomach, a region corresponding to the left side, and a region corresponding to the right side. The area is divided into an area corresponding to the left foot, an area corresponding to the right foot, and a central area. When the OK button is tapped after one or more of the six regions is tapped, the control unit 140 records the tapped one or more regions as leak locations. By performing such area division, the user can easily specify a leak location by a tap operation (touch operation). However, the illustration image may not be divided into a plurality of regions. When the illustration image is not divided into a plurality of regions, the user draws a leaked portion by a drag operation. The control unit 140 records the leak location specified by the drawing. With this drawing, it is possible to collect more accurate information on the location of the leak regarding the degree and location of the leak.

  The diaper illustration image IL2 is used when the leak location is on the back side of the diaper. When the illustration image IL2 is tapped, the illustration image IL2 behind the diaper is enlarged and displayed as shown in FIG. 7B. In the example of FIG. 7B, the illustration image IL2 is divided into six regions, similarly to the above-described illustration image IL1. Instead of designating a leak location using such area division, a leak location may be designated using drawing by a drag operation.

  Referring back to FIG. 5, when button PB1 for attaching a photographed image (photograph) of the leaked portion is tapped, control unit 140 displays a button (not shown) for selecting a method for acquiring the photographed image. It is displayed on the section 121. The method for acquiring a photographed image includes a method of activating a photographing function of the information collection application, a method of selecting from a photographed image photographed by the information collection application, and a method of a default photographing application (camera of the information communication terminal 100). Application) to select from the images captured. The control unit 140 acquires a captured image using the selected method.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the selection buttons SB16 to SB20 for selecting the presence / absence and type of other problems (other troubles) include a button SB17 indicating “fog”, a button SB18 indicating “deviation”, and a “gather mark”. "And a button SB20 indicating" other ". When the button SB20 indicating “other than that” is tapped, the control unit 140 displays a comment input field (not shown) on the display unit 121, and receives and records the comment input.

  When the button SB17 indicating “fogging” is tapped, the control unit 140 displays the character string CS7 and the body illustration images IL3 and IL4 for allowing the user to specify the fogging location, and the captured image (photograph) of the fogging location. A button PB2 for attachment is displayed on the display unit 121.

  Here, the body illustration image IL3 is used when the camera shake is on the front side of the wearer's body. When the illustration image IL3 is tapped, the illustration image IL3 on the front side of the body (wearing part) is enlarged and displayed as shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 8A, the illustration image IL3 on the front side of the body (wearing part) has seven regions, specifically, a region corresponding to the stomach, a region corresponding to the left side, and a region corresponding to the right side. Region, a region corresponding to the left leg, a region corresponding to the right leg, a region corresponding to the genitalia, and a region corresponding to the anus. When the OK button is tapped after one or more of the seven regions is tapped, the control unit 140 records the tapped one or more regions as a blurred portion. By performing such area division, the user can easily designate a blurred portion by a tap operation (touch operation). Instead of using the area division to specify the fogging point, the fogging point may be able to be specified using drawing by a drag operation. Thereby, the degree and location of the rash can be grasped with higher accuracy.

  The illustration image IL4 of the body is used when the rash is behind the body of the wearer. When the illustration image IL4 is tapped, the illustration image IL4 on the rear side of the body (wearing part) is enlarged and displayed as shown in FIG. 8B. In the example of FIG. 8B, the illustration image IL4 on the rear side of the body (wearing site) includes six areas, specifically, an area corresponding to the back, an area corresponding to the left side, and a right side.
