[Embodiment]
Hereinafter, an example of a mode for implementing an information processing device, an information processing method, an information processing program, an information processing system, and a terminal program (hereinafter, referred to as “the embodiment”) will be described in detail with reference to drawings. .. Note that this embodiment does not limit the information processing apparatus, information processing method, information processing program, information processing system, and terminal program. Further, in the following embodiments, the same parts are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description will be omitted.

[1. Outline of information processing according to the embodiment]
First, the outline of the information processing according to the embodiment will be described based on the premise according to the embodiment. For example, absorbent articles are known that are equipped with a dedicated kit for collecting menstrual blood and secretions. When such an absorbent article is used, the user can collect menstrual blood and secretions without pain, but when the user simply sees the collection result of the kit, for example, a change in the physical condition of a woman (physiology). It is not possible to accurately grasp the physical and mental condition of a woman and properly manage information on a woman's physical condition (physiology and ovulation).

Also, there are known absorbable articles equipped with a biosensor that generates a signal when the user is in a specific disease state by detecting a target biological sample on / or passing through the skin. Similarly, when such an absorbent article is used, it is not possible to accurately grasp the change in the physical condition of the woman and appropriately manage the information on the physical condition of the woman.

Further, there is known a technique of providing a user with a diagnosis result (for example, a menstrual cycle) based on a photographed image of a secretion attached to an absorbent article, but in such a technique, a simple image diagnosis is performed. After all, the user cannot accurately grasp the physical condition related to the physiology and properly manage the information related to the physiology.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the physical information indicating the physical condition of the woman is estimated based on the component detected from the secretion of the user attached to the absorbent article, and the estimated physical information is appropriately managed. We are focusing on providing it to users.

For this reason, the information processing device according to the embodiment performs the following information processing as the information processing according to the embodiment. Specifically, the information processing device acquires component information indicating a component detected from the secretion of the user attached to the absorbent article worn by the user, and based on the acquired component information, informs the user. On the other hand, the physical information indicating the physical condition of the woman is estimated. For example, the information processing device estimates physical information indicating a woman's physical condition to a user based on component information indicating a specific component detected from a secretion as component information. Further, for example, the information processing apparatus estimates information on menstruation, information on a woman's disease, and information on a woman's physical condition change as physical information based on the component information. Then, the information processing device provides the estimated physical information to the user who is the estimation source.

In the following embodiment, the information processing device 100 will be taken as an example of the information processing device that performs the above-mentioned information processing. Further, the information processing device 100 according to the embodiment is realized by a server device, a cloud system, or the like. Further, in the following embodiment, it is assumed that the absorbent article is an absorbent article for women and the target user is a female user.

[2. Information processing system]
Hereinafter, an example of information processing according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, but prior to this, the information processing system according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the information processing system 1 according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the information processing system 1 according to the embodiment includes a terminal device 10 and an information processing device 100. The terminal device 10 and the information processing device 100 are communicably connected via a network N by wire or wirelessly.

The terminal device 10 is an information processing terminal used by a user and is an example of a predetermined terminal device. The terminal device 10 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a notebook PC (Personal Computer), a desktop PC, a mobile phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or the like.

[3. About terminal programs]
It is assumed that the terminal device 10 which is an information processing terminal used by the user is pre-installed (installed) with an application (terminal program) that realizes transmission / reception of information to / from the information processing device 100. Hereinafter, such an application may be referred to as "app AP". Then, the application AP estimates based on the acquisition procedure for acquiring the component information indicating the component detected from the secretion of the user attached to the absorbent article worn by the user and the component information acquired by the acquisition procedure. It is an application for executing an output procedure that outputs physical information indicating the physical condition of a woman who has been treated.

As will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1, the terminal device 10 acquires component information indicating a component detected from the secretion of the user attached to the absorbent article worn by the user by photographing or a predetermined communication method. .. Then, the terminal device 10 transmits the acquired component information to the information processing device 100. Further, the terminal device 10 receives the physical information transmitted from the information processing device 100, and controls the display so that the received physical information is displayed on the display screen (output unit 14) of the own device.

[4. About absorbent articles]
The absorbent article according to the embodiment is an absorbent article (napkin) for women, to which a predetermined detection unit is attached. Examples of the predetermined detection unit include a tester (test paper) and a sensor. The tester reacts to specific components in the user's secretions (eg, menstrual blood, vaginal discharge, urine, stool, etc.) attached to / or absorbed by the absorbent article. Since a reagent that develops color is attached, components such as menstrual blood, vaginal discharge, urine, and stool can be detected by changing the color. Similarly, the sensor can detect a specific component contained in the user's secretion (for example, menstrual blood, vaginal discharge, urine, stool, etc.). Further, the sensor has a function of being able to communicate with the terminal device 10 and the information processing device 100 by a specific communication method (for example, short-range communication). In the present embodiment, an existing absorbent article can be used as the absorbent article having such a detection unit.

Note that, as an example of what is described as a component here, for example, it may be a substance such as a hormone in the secretion, or it may be the property of the secretion such as temperature, pH, viscosity, and odor. In addition, the component may be invisible information that is difficult to grasp only by directly visually recognizing the secretion (for example, menstrual blood, vaginal discharge, urine, stool, etc.), for example, the color of the secretion, secretion. It may be visible information that can be grasped by directly visually observing, such as how an object spreads. For this reason, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment acquires, as component information, information different from the image information indicating the secretion, that is, invisible information indicating the secretion. Of course, the information processing apparatus 100 may also acquire visible information (visible information acquired based on the image information) from the image information of the secretion. In addition, the information processing device 100 estimates physical information indicating the physical condition of a woman to the user based on the above-mentioned invisible information or image information.

The absorbent article may be commercialized with a predetermined detection unit (for example, a tester or sensor) attached, or may be a predetermined detection unit (for example, a tester or sensor) depending on the user. It may be a product that can be retrofitted. Further, in the case of a product in which a predetermined detector can be retrofitted by the user, the predetermined detector may be enclosed together with the absorbent article (for example, the predetermined detector may be contained in the same product package). It may be enclosed in, or it may be attached to or enclosed in an individual package that individually wraps the product). Further, the predetermined detection unit may be sold separately. Further, in the case of an absorbent article to which the detection unit is attached, the absorbent article may be configured so as to be visible with the detection unit attached, or the detection unit may not be visible and the detection unit may be invisible. It may be configured so that the detection unit can be seen by pulling out, removing, or the like.

Further, for example, when the detection unit is attached to or enclosed in an individual wrapping that individually wraps the product, the user can photograph the absorbent article by using the individual wrapping as a mount.

[5. About an example of information processing]
From here on, an example of information processing according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of information processing according to an embodiment. In the example of FIG. 1, the absorbent article OB1 is shown as an example of the absorbent article. Further, in the example of FIG. 1, an example in which the detection unit DU1 is attached to the absorbent article OB1 is shown as an example of a predetermined detection unit. Further, in the example of FIG. 1, the detection unit DU1 is assumed to be the tester as described above. Further, in the example of FIG. 1, the user U1 is shown as an example of the user. Therefore, it is assumed that the absorbent article OB1 is worn by the user U1 and that the secretions of the user U1 (for example, menstrual blood, vaginal discharge, urine, stool, etc.) are attached (absorbed). ..

In such a state, for example, when the secretion comes into contact with the detection unit DU1, the detection unit DU1 detects a specific component of the secretion (for example, a menstrual blood component) by the action of the reagent (step S1). In the example of FIG. 1, it is assumed that the detection unit DU1 detects a specific component of the secretion by reacting the specific component of the secretion with the reagent. Further, the information such as what kind of color change the detection unit DU1 shows corresponds to the component information indicating a specific component of the secretion.

Next, the terminal device 10 photographs the absorbent article OB1 in a form including the detection unit DU1 whose color is changed by detecting a specific component of the secretion in response to the operation of the user U1 (step). S2). As a result, the terminal device 10 acquires a captured image in which the component information is shown as a detection result by the detection unit DU1 (step S3). That is, the terminal device 10 acquires component information (component information corresponding to the user U1) indicating a specific component detected from the secretion of the user U1 by the detection unit DU1 from the detection unit DU1 by the photographing operation of the user U1. ..

In addition, it is possible to estimate the color and amount of secretions from the captured image. Therefore, the process of acquiring the captured image by the terminal device 10 includes a process of further acquiring information indicating the color of the secretion and information indicating the amount of the secretion. Therefore, in step S3, the terminal device 10 further acquires information indicating the color of the secretion of the user U1 and information indicating the amount of the secretion as component information.

Next, the terminal device 10 transmits the captured image in step S3 to the information processing device 100 in response to the operation of the user U1 (step S4). That is, the terminal device 10 transmits the component information corresponding to the user U1 to the information processing device 100 in response to the operation of the user U1. At this time, the terminal device 10 also transmits a user ID that identifies the user and a detection unit ID that identifies the detection unit that has detected the component in the secretion of the user. In the example of FIG. 1, the terminal device 10 together with the captured image has a user ID “U1” that identifies the user U1 and a detection unit ID “DU1” that identifies the detection unit DU1 that has detected a specific component for the user U1. Is sent.

In the example of FIG. 1, since the detection unit DU1 is a tester, the user U1 processes the detection unit ID "DU1" to the terminal device 10 by manually inputting the detection unit ID "DU1". It can be transmitted to the device 100. Further, the terminal device 10 may guide the user U1 to input the detection unit ID according to the control of the application AP so that such an input can be performed.

When the information processing device 100 receives the captured image from the terminal device 10 and eventually acquires the component information, the information processing device 100 estimates the physical information indicating the physical condition of the woman with respect to the user U1 based on the acquired component information. (Step S5). Specifically, the information processing apparatus 100 is a female physical body with respect to the user U1 based on the components detected from the secretion of the user U1, the color of the secretion of the user U1, and the amount of the secretion of the user U1. Estimate physical information indicating the condition. The information processing device 100 may estimate the color and amount of the secretion by analyzing the captured image, and the terminal device 10 may estimate the color and amount of the secretion from the captured image according to the control of the application AP. You may estimate. When the terminal device 10 estimates the color and amount of the secretion, the terminal device 10 transmits the estimated color and amount to the information processing device 100 together with the captured image in, for example, step S4.

Further, as an example, the information processing apparatus 100 estimates information on menstruation or information on a woman's disease as physical information based on the component information. For example, the information processing apparatus 100 estimates the menstrual cycle, the menstrual period, the ovulation date, or the change in physical condition associated with the menstrual cycle as information on menstruation.

Further, since the absorbent article is a disposable product, in the example of FIG. 1, the information processing device 100 estimates the physical information from the component information of one time when the absorbent article is used once. However, the information processing apparatus 100 may estimate the physical information based on the component information group for a predetermined number of times. For example, suppose user U1 has used the absorbent article three times in the last month. In such an example, since the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the component information for each time, the physical information indicating the physical condition of the woman with respect to the user U1 is estimated based on the component information for three times.

Next, the information processing device 100 identifies a detection unit that detects a component of a user's secretion indicated by the user ID with respect to a user ID that identifies the user whose component has been detected. The ID, the component information indicating the component detected by the detection unit indicated by the detection unit ID, and the physical information estimated from the component information are managed in association with each other (step S6). For example, the information processing device 100 can perform such management in the result information storage unit 121. Here, FIG. 2 is used to show an example of the result information storage unit 121 according to the embodiment. In the example of FIG. 2, the result information storage unit 121 has items such as "user ID", "detection unit ID", "history ID", "component information", and "physical information".

"User ID" indicates identification information that identifies the user whose component has been detected. The “detection unit ID” indicates identification information for identifying a detection unit that has detected a component of a user's secretion indicated by the “user ID”. Although not shown in FIG. 2, the "detection unit ID" of the detection unit attached to the absorbent article is further associated with the identification information (for example, product ID) of the absorbent article. May be good.

The "history ID" is a set of one "ingredient information" due to the use of the absorbent article once and "physical information" estimated based on this one "ingredient information". Indicates identification information to be identified as history. The "component information" is a specific component (secretion) detected by the detection unit indicated by the "detection unit ID" from the secretion attached by the user indicated by the "user ID" using the absorbent article once. Indicates component information indicating a specific component). The "component information" also includes information indicating the amount of the secretion and information indicating the color of the secretion. "Physical information" indicates physical information estimated from one dose of "component information".

For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the component information indicating the component detected from the secretion of the user U1 by the detection unit DU1 is conceptually set as the component information "CP11", and the information processing device 100 estimates from the component information "CP11". The physical information that is the estimation result is conceptually referred to as the physical information "ER11". Then, the information processing apparatus 100 pays out the history ID "LID11" as in the example of the result information storage unit 121 shown in FIG. 2, and for the user ID "U1", the detection unit ID "DU1" and the history ID The "LID11", the component information "CP11", and the physical information "ER11" are registered in association with each other.

Further, the information processing device 100 corresponds the user ID and the physical information corresponding to the user indicated by the user ID to the service ID that identifies the predetermined service so that the physical information can be used in the predetermined service. Attach and manage (step S7). For example, the information processing device 100 can perform such management in the linked information storage unit 122. Here, with reference to FIG. 3, an example of the cooperation information storage unit 122 according to the embodiment is shown. In the example of FIG. 3, the cooperation information storage unit 122 has items such as "service ID", "user ID", and "physical information".

"Service ID" indicates identification information that identifies a predetermined service. Prescribed services include a menstrual calendar (physiological calendar) service and a health consultation service. Further, as another example of the predetermined service, there is a constitution diagnosis service that diagnoses the constitution of the user and provides the diagnosis result. The "user ID" is identification information that identifies the user whose component has been detected, and corresponds to the "user ID" of the result information storage unit 121. The "physical information" is the physical information estimated from the "component information" for one time, and corresponds to the "physical information" of the result information storage unit 121.

In the example of the cooperation information storage unit 122 shown in FIG. 3, the user ID "U1" and the estimation result "ER11" are associated with the service ID "SA1". Such an example shows an example in which the service SA1 is managed so that the physical information "ER11" corresponding to the user U1 can be used.

By performing such management, for example, the user can link the physical information estimated from the component information of the user to the menstrual calendar application by using the user ID of the user. Therefore, the convenience of the information processing device 100 and the menstrual calendar application can be improved. Further, for example, the user can link the physical information estimated from the component information of the user to the health consultation service application by using the user ID of the user. Therefore, the convenience of the information processing device 100 and the health consultation service application can be improved. Further, for example, the user can use his / her own user ID to link the physical information estimated from his / her own component information to the constitution diagnosis application. Therefore, the convenience of the information processing device 100 and the constitution diagnosis application can be improved. In addition, the information processing device 100 does not register the physical information so that the physical information can be used in the predetermined service by linking the terminal device 10 with the predetermined service, but corresponds to the predetermined service. Physical information may be incorporated into the application itself. Specifically, when an application corresponding to a predetermined service is deployed on the terminal device, the information processing device 100 may incorporate physical information into a storage unit generated by the deployment.

Return the explanation to the example in Fig. 1. The information processing device 100 provides the user U1 with physical information estimated based on the component information corresponding to the user U1 (step S8). Specifically, the information processing device 100 delivers the physical information estimated based on the component information corresponding to the user U1 to the terminal device 10. For example, the information processing device 100 may generate content in which the physical information estimated based on the component information corresponding to the user U1 is displayed, and may distribute the generated content to the terminal device 10 or launch the application AP. You may push notification to confirm the physical information in the application AP.

Then, when the terminal device 10 receives the physical information, the terminal device 10 controls the display so that the received physical information is displayed (output) on the display screen (output unit 14) (step S9). When the user activates the application AP in response to the push notification from the information processing device 100, the terminal device 10 processes the distribution request of the content in which the physical information is displayed in response to the activation of the application AP. It may be transmitted to the device 100.

As described above with reference to FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment has a specific component detected from the secretion of the user attached to the absorbent article worn by the user.

[6. Information processing variations]
The information processing apparatus 100 according to the above embodiment may be implemented in various different forms other than the above embodiment. Therefore, another embodiment of the information processing apparatus 100 will be described below.

[6-1. Acquisition of component information (1)]
In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the information processing device 100 mediates the terminal device 10 used by the user and acquires the component information from the detection unit. Specifically, an example is shown in which the information processing device 100 acquires the component information acquired by the terminal device 10 taking a picture of the detection unit by communicating with the terminal device 10 used by the user from the terminal device 10.

However, various acquisition methods can be considered depending on whether the detection unit is a tester or a sensor. First, when the detection unit is a tester, another acquisition method different from that of FIG. 1 will be described. The detection unit, which is a tester, cannot communicate with the terminal device 10 or the information processing device 100. Therefore, when the detection unit is a tester, the information processing device 100 captures a photographed image of the absorbent article so that the predetermined terminal device includes the tester, as described with reference to FIG. Component information is acquired by acquiring from the device. However, the predetermined terminal device may not be the terminal device 10 used by the user, but may be a dedicated disposal box or sanitary box in which the absorbent article is discarded.

The sanitary box has, for example, a predetermined sensor (for example, a shooting function of a camera or the like) and a communication function. Therefore, when the sanitary box detects that the absorbent article has been put in (discarded), the sanitary box acquires the component information by photographing the absorbent article with a sensor. Then, the sanitary box transmits the captured image in which the component information is shown as the detection result to the information processing apparatus 100. As a result, the information processing apparatus 100 acquires the component information indicating the component detected by the detection unit, which is a tester, by communicating with the sanitary box.

Since many users have the terminal device 10, the sanitary box is the closest terminal device 10 among the terminal devices 10 that can communicate by short-range communication when an absorbent article is put in the sanitary box. The identification information may be transmitted as a user ID to the information processing device 100 together with the captured image. In addition, when the sanitary box analyzes the photographed image and can identify what kind of product the absorbent article is, for example, the product ID of the specified product or the detection unit ID associated with the product ID is also included. It may be transmitted to the information processing device 100.

[6-2. Acquisition of component information (2)]
Next, the acquisition method when the detection unit is a sensor having a communication function will be described. First, when the secretion is in contact with the sensor, the detection unit detects a specific component of the secretion, the color of the secretion, and the amount of the secretion by the function of its own device. Further, since the detection unit has a communication function, a predetermined terminal device (user's terminal device 10, user's terminal device 10, Alternatively, the information is transmitted to the information processing apparatus 100 without going through the sanitary box).

For example, assuming that the detection unit, which is a sensor, is associated with the terminal device 10 of the user who uses the own device, transmits the user ID and the detection unit ID together with the component information to the information processing device 100. .. As a result, the information processing device 100 acquires component information directly from the detection unit by communicating with the detection unit without intervening in a predetermined terminal device (user's terminal device 10 or sanitary box).

Further, when the detection unit, which is a sensor, is associated with the terminal device 10 of the user who uses the own device, the detection unit ID and the component information are transmitted to the associated terminal device 10. By transmitting, the terminal device 10 may be made to transmit the detection unit ID and the component information to the information processing device 100. For example, when the detection unit detects that the terminal device 10 has come into contact with the terminal device 10, the detection unit transmits the component information to the terminal device 10 by short-range communication with the terminal device 10. Further, in such a case, the terminal device 10 transmits the user ID and the detection unit ID together with the component information to the information processing device 100. As a result, the information processing device 100 acquires the component information by communicating with the terminal device 10.

Further, the information processing device 100 may not only acquire the information from the absorbent article as described above, but also acquire the information input by the user. For example, when the user inputs information such as meal (blood sugar level, cholesterol, salt content), exercise, sleep, and mood through the terminal device 10 or through another device, the input information is input to the terminal device 10 or Another device transmits to the information processing device 100. Then, the information processing device 100 may acquire the information transmitted from the terminal device 10 or another device, and use the acquired information for estimating the physical information. As a result, the information processing device 100 can estimate the physical information from a wide variety of information of the user, so that the health management and the physical condition management of the woman can be performed more accurately.

As a recommended product, determine a product according to a predetermined condition. This example will be described by taking the user U1 as an example.

For example, it is assumed that the physical information indicates that the user U1 is in a state of menorrhagia. In such a case, the determination unit 135 determines an absorbent article having a high absorbency as a product recommended to be used by the user U1. The decision unit 135 determines a drug that is effective for menorrhagia as a product recommended to be used by user U1.

Further, for example, it is assumed that the physical information indicates that the user U1 may be suffering from a predetermined disease. In such a case, the determination unit 135 determines a detection unit (tester or sensor) capable of detecting a component that causes the predetermined disease as a product recommended to be used by the user U1.

Then, the determination unit 135 extracts the product information indicating the determined product from the predetermined storage unit and outputs it to the provision unit 134. Then, the providing unit 134 provides the user U1 with the product information acquired from the determining unit 135. For example, the providing unit 134 may provide the advertisement content in which the product information is advertised to the user U1.

For example, if a user feels an abnormality in his or her body, what type of absorbent article should be used to deal with this abnormality, or what kind of drug is effective for this abnormality?

Suppose you get an image. In such a case, the determination unit 136 estimates the wearing mode of the absorbent article OB1 by the user U1 based on the adhesion state of the secretion in the absorbent article OB1. Then, the determination unit 136 determines whether or not the user U1 is wearing the absorbent article OB1 in the correct manner based on the estimated wearing mode. For example, the determination unit 136 can estimate the wearing mode of the absorbent article OB1 by the user U1 based on the adhered position of the secretory in the absorbent article OB1 as the adhered state of the secretory in the absorbent article OB1.

Then, when the determination unit 136 determines that the user U1 does not wear the absorbent article OB1 in the correct manner, that is, when the user U1 determines that the absorbent article OB1 is worn in the wrong manner, for example. , Extract information explaining the correct wearing mode from a predetermined storage unit. The information explaining the correct wearing mode may be text, an image, a moving image, or a combination thereof.

Then, when the providing unit 134 acquires the information indicating the correct wearing mode from the determination unit 136, the providing unit 134 provides the user U1 with the information indicating the correct wearing mode.

For example, if the absorbent article is not worn in the correct wearing mode, the detection unit may not be able to accurately detect the component. Since the information processing device 100 according to the embodiment can present the user with the correct wearing method of the absorbent article, as a result, accurate component detection by the detection unit can be realized.
