Note that the information processing device, the information processing method, and the information processing program are not limited to this embodiment. Also, the same parts in the following embodiments are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[Embodiment]
1. An example of information processing performed by the information processing device
An example of information processing executed by the information processing device 100 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of information processing executed by the information processing device 100 according to the embodiment. In the example of Fig. 1, the information processing device 100 provides a user with content corresponding to the menarche period, which is the time when the user's first menstruation occurs. The content here refers to content displayed on a specified application.

In the example of FIG. 1, it is assumed that a user is going to use an application AP (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as app AP) that has a function for managing the user's menstrual cycle and a function for predicting the time of menarche for a user who has not yet reached menarche. In this case, the terminal device 10 used by the user downloads the app AP from a predetermined application providing service. The terminal device 10 then installs the app AP (step S1).

Next, the information processing device 100 acquires user information related to the user from the terminal device 10 (step S2). For example, the information processing device 100 acquires various user information input by the user via the application AP running on the terminal device 10. To give a more specific example, the information processing device 100 acquires, as user information, information related to date of birth, height, weight, wake-up time, bedtime, number of times exercising, and exercise time at a specific age. The information processing device 100 also acquires, as user information, information related to increased appetite, appearance of vaginal discharge, height growth, changes in body shape, and the like.

The information processing device 100 also predicts the time of menarche of the user (step S3). For example, the information processing device 100 predicts the time of menarche based on information on the date of birth, characteristic information indicating physical characteristics such as height, weight, wake-up time, bedtime, number of times exercising, and time for exercising at age 7, characteristic information at age 9, and recent characteristic information. Here, the prediction of the time of menarche may be on a yearly, monthly, or daily basis, and may predict not only the time of menarche but also the probability of menarche in the future. For example, the prediction may predict the probability of menarche within three months from the time the prediction process is executed, the probability of menarche within six months, the probability of menarche within 12 months, etc. For example, the information processing device 100 predicts the time of menarche to be "March 23, 2021" and the probability of menarche within a specified period to be "30% within three months."

In this way, the information processing device 100 predicts the time of menarche based on a combination of characteristic information at a specific age, and therefore the accuracy of the predicted time of menarche can be improved. Note that the information processing device 100 predicts the time of menarche for the user using various conventional technologies.

Then, the information processing device 100 generates content based on the various information (step S3). For example, the information processing device 100 generates content including different character strings for the user based on the period between the first menstruation and the current time.

To give a more specific example, if the menarche date "March 23, 2021" is more than one year from now, the information processing device 100 generates content containing a message encouraging the user to prepare for menarche.

Here, the message might be something like, "Your first period is still a while away, but start preparing yourself mentally. After measuring your height and other physical data, it appears that your first period is still more than a year away. If you grow a lot taller or experience any other physical changes, try measuring again. Your first period is an important event that signifies that your body has become an adult. While you learn about bodily growth and menstruation, prepare yourself mentally together with XXXXXX."

In addition, the information processing device 100 generates content containing a message encouraging remeasurement if the menarche date "March 23, 2021" is about six months from now. Here, the message indicates content such as, "Have you grown taller or experienced any changes in your body? If so, try measuring again. While learning about bodily growth and menstruation, let's also prepare your mind together with XXXXXX."

On the other hand, if the menarche date "March 23, 2021" is more than one year away from the present, the information processing device 100 generates content in which a message different from the above message is placed. For example, the information processing device 100 generates content according to the age of the user.

For example, if the menarche date "March 23, 2021" is more than one year away from now, and if the user is under 15 years old, the information processing device 100 displays content containing a message to increase the user's sense of security.

Here, the message might be something like, "You're past your due date, but it's different for everyone, so don't worry. After measuring your height and other physical data, it seems that many girls with a similar build to you have just had their first period. However, the timing of when your first period starts is different for everyone, so don't worry too much and just wait patiently. It's a good idea to carry sanitary napkins with you so you're ready for your period whenever it comes!"

On the other hand, if the menarche date "March 23, 2021" is more than one year old from now and the user is 15 years old or older, the information processing device 100 generates content including a message alerting the user to their physical condition.

Here, the message might be something like, "If you're worried because you haven't started your first period yet, talk to your parents about it. After measuring your height and other physical data, it appears that girls with a build similar to yours are close to having their first period. How is your body growing? Are you having vaginal discharge? Keep an eye on the situation and wait for your first period. If your first period is taking a while to start, talk to your parents about it and you might want to consider visiting a gynecologist."

Next, the information processing device 100 provides the generated content to the terminal device 10 (step S4). For example, the information processing device 100 provides the terminal device 10 with content containing a message encouraging the user to prepare for menarche. The terminal device 10 then displays the content on the app AP.

As a result, the information processing device 100 provides the user with content containing a message encouraging the user to prepare for menarche, thereby raising awareness of menstruation among pre-menarche users.

Note that, in the following, "providing the content to the terminal device 10" may be read as "providing the content to the user." Also, "providing the content to the user" may be read as "providing the content to the terminal device 10."

Prior art only managed information related to menstruation after the onset of menstruation, which could limit the target users. For example, the prior art may not be suitable for users who have not yet reached menarche in order to prepare for or respond to menstruation. In this way, there is room to raise interest and awareness about menstruation even among users who have not yet reached menarche. Therefore, the information processing device 100 according to the embodiment solves the conventional problem by providing the user with content that corresponds to the predicted time of menarche based on user information indicating the user's physical characteristics. In this way, the information processing device 100 can raise awareness about menstruation among users who have not yet reached menarche.

[2. Content display example]
Next, a display example of a content screen in the application AP will be described with reference to Figures 2 to 5. Specifically, transitions of the content screen and specific examples of content will be described with reference to Figures 2 to 5.

[2-1. An example of content transition (1)]
First, a transition of a content screen when the application AP is started will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a content transition according to the embodiment. Below, a management mode for managing information related to the user's menstrual cycle and a prediction mode for predicting the time of menarche based on user information will be described with reference to an example of a transition of a content screen displayed on the terminal device 10 with reference to Fig. 2.

In the example of FIG. 2, the terminal device 10 displays content C1 entitled "User Settings" to register user information. For example, content C1 includes a message encouraging the user to set up the user, such as "Tell us about yourself! Entering your date of birth will make the display of your period more accurate."

Content C1 also includes an area AR11 that accepts "nickname" input from the user, and an area AR12 that accepts "date of birth" input from the user. Note that areas AR11 and AR12 may be text boxes or the like that accept input from the user.

Content C1 also includes an area AR13 that accepts input from the user, such as "Have you had your first period?" Here, area AR13 contains a check box for selecting whether or not the user has had their period. Area AR13 also includes a pull-down menu for selecting the age at which the user had their period.

The content C1 also includes a button B11 for transitioning to the next content. Here, the terminal device 10 displays various contents according to the user information. For example, the terminal device 10 presents different contents according to the user's condition, such as whether or not the first menstruation has started. To explain this by giving a more specific example, the terminal device 10 presents different contents based on the information selected in an area AR13 included in the content C1.

For example, if it is estimated that menarche has started, the terminal device 10 displays content indicating a management mode for managing information related to menstruation (step S21). On the other hand, if it is estimated that menarche has not started, the terminal device 10 displays content for inputting measurement data for predicting the time of menarche (step S22). Then, it displays content indicating a prediction mode for predicting the time of menarche (step S23). Here, content C2 indicating the management mode and content C4 indicating the prediction mode are generated by components of similar content.

For example, when the terminal device 10 receives input from the user that the user's period has started, it displays content C2 indicating the management mode. Here, content C2 includes "next period 05/31", "27 days left" until the next period, an area AR21 in which a pie chart with today's date "05/04 MON" at the center is placed, and a comment "Don't get depressed just because you're not feeling your usual best! Do something you like to change your mood." Content C2 also includes a calendar at the bottom. Content C2 also includes information about the user's hormone balance, physical condition, etc., which is stored in association with the date indicated on the calendar, as well as information about the body and mind at the top of content C2 in response to the user's operation.

On the other hand, if the terminal device 10 does not accept input from the user that the user's period has already started, it displays content C3 for inputting measurement data to predict the time of menarche. Here, content C3 is entitled "Measurement Data Input" and includes a message encouraging the input of user information, such as "Welcome to 'Period Preparation Mode'! 'XXXXXX' will support you until your first period (your first period) arrives. First, please tell us about yourself. Please prepare your date of birth and the results of physical examinations taken at school, etc.".

Content C3 also includes "Date of birth" and an area AR31 for accepting input from the user. Content C3 also includes "Please enter information for each age," a button B31 for transitioning to content for inputting user information "at age 7," a button B32 for transitioning to content for inputting user information "at age 9," and a button B33 for transitioning to content for inputting "recent" user information. Content C3 also includes a button B34 for transitioning to content showing a prediction mode for predicting menarche, saying "When do you think you will get your first period?".

The terminal device 10 then accepts the input of measurement data by the user, and displays content C4 indicating the prediction mode when button B34 is pressed. Here, content C4 includes an area AR41 in which the time of menarche, such as "expected menarche around March 2021," is arranged, and an area AR42 in which the number of days since the most recent predicted time of menarche, such as "888 days since measurement," is arranged. Content C4 also includes an area AR43 in which a pie chart with a remeasurement button at the center is arranged, and a comment, "It's about time for your first period to come. Start preparing for napkins and sanitary shorts!" Content C4 also includes a button at the top that transitions to content in which past measurement results are arranged, such as "View measurement results," and a calendar at the bottom.

Note that before transitioning from content C1 to content C2 or content C3, the terminal device 10 may display content that explains how to use the management mode or the prediction mode.

In this way, the terminal device 10 can allow the user to easily recognize the predicted time of menarche. Furthermore, the terminal device 10 can increase the user's awareness of menstruation from an appropriate time (e.g., before the onset of menarche) so that the user can deal with menstruation appropriately.

[2-2. An example of content transition (2)]
Next, a transition to a content screen showing the measurement result will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a content transition according to an embodiment. Below, an example of a transition from the content C4 shown in Fig. 2 to a content screen showing the measurement result will be described with reference to Fig. 3.

In the example of FIG. 3, the terminal device 10 displays content C5 titled "XXXXXX Page." Here, content C5 includes information related to the timing of menarche, such as "expected menarche around March 2021," and information related to the number of days that have passed since the most recent predicted menarche, such as "888 days since measurement." Content C5 also includes an area AR51 in which a pie chart with today's date "12/29 TUE" at the center is arranged, and a comment "It's about time for your first period to come. Start preparing for napkins and sanitary shorts!". Furthermore, content C5 includes a button B51 at the top that transitions to content in which past measurement results are arranged, such as "View measurement results," and a calendar at the bottom.

Here, the pie chart included in area AR51 will be described. The pie chart is divided into 13 sections. One section corresponds to one month. For example, the pie chart includes a predetermined period before menarche and a predetermined period after menarche. In the pie chart shown in FIG. 3, the predicted menarche is placed to the right of the center of content C5. In the example of FIG. 3, the pie chart assumes "predicted month 2 to 4 months before" as the predetermined period before menarche. Also, in the pie chart, "predicted month 2 to 3 months after" as the predetermined period after menarche. Also, an icon indicating the current date is placed together with the pie chart. Also, in the pie chart, the most recent month in which menarche was predicted may be set as the first section.

In addition, the pie chart rotates clockwise when a certain period of time (e.g., one year) has passed. For example, the pie chart rotates clockwise for one month on the first day of each month. In this way, the rotation of the pie chart indicates to the user that menarche is approaching.

When the user presses button B51, the terminal device 10 transitions to content C6 (step S31). In the example of FIG. 3, the terminal device 10 displays content C6 titled "Measurement Results." Here, content C6 includes an area AR61 in which information about the date of the previous measurement, such as "Date of last measurement: 2020/11/16," and information about the date of measurement of height, weight, etc., such as "Date of height, etc., measurement: 2020/09/01," are arranged. Content C6 also includes an area AR62 in which information about the predicted time of menarche, such as "Expected menarche at the time of measurement: around March 2021," is arranged.

Content C6 also includes "Guideline for when menstruation will occur" and an area AR63 in which a rectangular graph is arranged. Here, the rectangular graph shows the same information as the pie chart. In the example of FIG. 3, the rectangular graph is divided into 10 sections. One section corresponds to one month. For example, the rectangular graph includes the time of menarche ("expected month" in the example of FIG. 3), a day before menarche, and a day after menarche. In the rectangular graph shown in FIG. 3, "6 months before" and "3 months before" are arranged as examples of days before menarche. In addition, in the rectangular graph, "3 months later" is arranged as an example of a day after menarche. In addition, an icon indicating the current date is arranged with the rectangular graph.

Content C6 also includes an area AR64 in which the probability of menarche is arranged as a "probability by period." In the example of FIG. 3, the probability of menarche within three months is "30%." The probability of menarche within six months is "60%." The probability of menarche within twelve months is "100%." Here, the probabilities in area AR64 are calculated based on, for example, the number of users who have had menarche in the past among users with similar ages, heights, weights, etc.

In this way, the terminal device 10 allows the user to visually understand the time of menarche, including the period before and after the menarche. The terminal device 10 also allows the user to visually understand the time of menarche and the probability of menarche. By displaying the probability of menarche, the terminal device 10 gives the user the awareness that "menarche may come soon," and allows the user to make preparations for menarche in advance.

[2-3. Differentiating content]
Next, the distribution of contents showing the measurement results will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of distribution of contents according to an embodiment. Below, the variation of the content C6 shown in Fig. 3 will be described with reference to Fig. 4.

In the example of FIG. 4, the terminal device 10 presents different content generated based on various information. For example, if the predicted menarche is more than one year from now, the terminal device 10 displays content C7 to the user, which contains a message encouraging the user to prepare for menarche.

Here, content C7 includes an area in which information about the predicted menarche time, such as "Expected menarche at the time of measurement: around June 2022" is placed. Content C7 also includes an area AR71 in which a message such as "Your first period is still a little ways off, but start preparing mentally. Measurements of body data such as height indicate that your first period is still more than a year away. If you grow a lot taller or experience any changes in your body, try measuring again. Your first period is an important event that marks your body as an adult. While learning about bodily growth and menstruation, prepare your mind along with XXXXXX." is placed. In this way, the terminal device 10 displays a message encouraging the user to prepare for their first period, and can raise awareness of menstruation among users who are yet to have their first period.

On the other hand, if the predicted menarche is more than one year from now, the terminal device 10 displays to the user content C8 or content C9 containing a message different from the message encouraging the user to prepare for menarche. In this case, the terminal device 10 presents content C8 or content C9 depending on the age of the user. For example, if the predicted menarche is more than one year from now and the user is under 15 years old, the terminal device 10 displays content C8 containing a message to increase the user's sense of security.

Here, content C8 includes an area in which information about the predicted time of menarche is placed, such as "Your expected menarche when you measured. Let's see how it goes." Content C8 also includes an area AR81 in which a message is placed, such as "You're past your due date, but it's different for everyone, so don't worry. According to measurements taken from your height and other body data, it appears that many girls with a similar build to you have had their first period. However, the timing of when your first period starts varies from person to person, so don't worry too much and just wait patiently. It's a good idea to carry sanitary napkins with you so that you're ready for your period whenever it comes!".

In this way, the terminal device 10 displays a message to increase a user's sense of security for those whose predicted menarche has passed. In general, the time of menarche can be a time when people tend to become psychologically unstable. For this reason, some users may feel anxious about not having had their first period yet, in comparison to their friends, etc. Thus, the terminal device 10 can display a message to increase the user's sense of security, encouraging the user to stabilize their psychological state.

On the other hand, if the predicted menarche is more than one year away from now and the user is 15 years old or older, the terminal device 10 displays content C9 containing a message alerting the user to their physical condition.

Here, content C9 includes an area in which information about the predicted menarche time, such as "Expected menarche time when measured. Consultation required," is placed. Content C9 also includes an area AR91 in which a message such as "If you are worried that your menarche hasn't started, consult with your parents. As a result of measuring your body data such as height, it seems that girls with a body shape similar to yours are about to start their menarche. How is your body growing? Are you having vaginal discharge? Keep an eye on the situation and wait for your menarche. If your menarche doesn't start for a while, you may want to consult with your parents and consider visiting a gynecologist." is placed. In this way, the terminal device 10 displays a message that indicates a warning to the user about their physical condition. This allows the terminal device 10 to detect diseases and the like early.

Therefore, the terminal device 10 presents different content generated according to the period between the predicted menarche and the current time. Furthermore, the terminal device 10 presents different content according to the age of the user. In this way, the terminal device 10 can display appropriate content suited to the current situation of the user.

[2-4. An example of content transition (3)]
Next, a transition from a home screen to another content screen will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a content transition according to an embodiment. Below, an example of a transition from a home screen to another content screen will be described with reference to Fig. 5.

In the example of FIG. 5, the terminal device 10 displays content C10 as an example of a home screen. For example, the terminal device 10 displays content C10 so as to be superimposed on content C4 shown in FIG. 2.

Here, content C10 includes an area AR101 in which a character string such as "Your period has come!" is arranged, an area AR102 in which a character string such as "Measure again" is arranged, an area AR103 in which a character string such as "Record" is arranged, and an area AR104 in which a character string such as "Past list" is arranged.

For example, when the user presses area AR101, the terminal device 10 displays content titled "Record your first period." This content is for recording information related to menstruation.

Furthermore, when the user presses area AR102, the terminal device 10 displays content C11 entitled "Remeasurement." Here, content C11 includes area AR111 for accepting input from the user of "Body information," "Date height was measured," area AR112 for accepting input from the user of "Height," and area AR113 for accepting input from the user of "Weight."

Content C11 also includes an area AR114 for receiving input from the user regarding "sleeping time" and "sleep time", and an area AR115 for receiving input from the user regarding "wake-up time". Content C11 also includes an area AR116 for receiving input from the user regarding "number of times and time to move the body", "number of times", and an area AR117 for receiving input from the user regarding "time (per time)".

In addition, areas AR111 to AR117 may be text boxes or the like that accept input from the user. Also, areas AR111 to AR117 may be pull-down menus or the like that have predetermined answers and allow the user to select an answer from the answers.

Content C11 also includes an area AR118 in which is located the question "Has there been any change since the last measurement?" and an area for accepting input from the user. Here, in the area for accepting input from the user, input is accepted in the form of the user selecting a check box for the answer that corresponds to the user's answer from among answers such as "I have started having vaginal discharge," "I have increased my eating volume," "I have stopped growing in height," "There has been a change in my body shape," and "There have been no particular changes in the above." In the example of Figure 5, "I have started having vaginal discharge" is selected.

Content C11 also includes a button B111 for predicting the time of menarche based on the input user information. In the example of FIG. 5, a character string such as "Measure!" is placed on button B111. For example, when button B111 is pressed by a user, information processing device 100 predicts the time of menarche based on the input user information. Then, information processing device 100 stores the predicted time of menarche in a storage unit. As a result, terminal device 10 displays the content in which the information on the time of menarche placed in the content has been updated.

Furthermore, when the user presses area AR103, the terminal device 10 displays content entitled "Physical Condition Record." Such content is content for recording information related to menstruation or physical condition. For example, the content is content for allowing the user to input information about the user's mood, menstrual symptoms, amount of secretions such as vaginal discharge, amount of menstrual blood, etc.

Furthermore, when the user presses area AR104, the terminal device 10 displays content C12 entitled "Past Measurement List." Here, content C12 includes area AR121 in which "Predicted menarche date" and the predicted menarche date "Around March 2021" are located, "Menarche measurement history," and historical information measured so far, including "D1 Date height, etc. were measured on 2020/11/16," "D2 Date height, etc. were measured on 2020/11/16," and "D3 Date height, etc. were measured on 2020/11/16." In this case, when the user presses each piece of historical information, the terminal device 10 may display content for displaying details of the historical information.

In this way, the terminal device 10 transitions from the home screen to various content screens. This allows the terminal device 10 to easily manage measured history information for the user. The terminal device 10 also allows the user to easily manage information related to menstruation. Furthermore, because the terminal device 10 allows the user to easily manage information related to physical condition, it is possible to increase the probability that the user will notice an abnormality in their physical condition at an early stage.

3. Configuration of Information Processing System
Next, the configuration of the information processing system 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the information processing system 1 according to the embodiment. As shown in Fig. 6, the information processing system 1 includes a terminal device 10 and an information processing device 100. The terminal device 10 and the information processing device 100 are connected to each other via a network N so as to be able to communicate with each other by wire or wirelessly. Note that the information processing system 1 shown in Fig. 6 may include a plurality of terminal devices 10 and a plurality of information processing devices 100.

The terminal device 10 according to the embodiment is an information processing device used by a user to access content such as web content or application content displayed in a browser. For example, the terminal device 10 has a display unit, and displays content on the display unit of the terminal device 10. The display unit here is, for example, a display screen realized by a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, and is a display device for displaying various types of information.

The terminal device 10 may be, for example, a desktop PC (Personal Computer), a notebook PC, a tablet terminal, a mobile phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a digital signage, or the like. The terminal device 10 may also be a wearable device such as a smart watch.

The information processing device 100 according to the embodiment is an information processing device capable of communicating with various devices via a predetermined network N such as the Internet, and is realized, for example, by a server device or a cloud system. For example, the information processing device 100 is connected to various other devices via the network N so as to be able to communicate with them.

4. Configuration of information processing device
A configuration of the information processing device 100 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the information processing device 100 according to the embodiment. As shown in Fig. 6, the information processing device 100 has a communication unit 110, a storage unit 120, and a control unit 130.

(Regarding communication unit 110)
The communication unit 110 is realized by, for example, a network interface card (NIC), etc. The communication unit 110 is connected to the network N by wire or wirelessly, and transmits and receives information to and from the terminal device 10.

(Regarding the storage unit 120)
The storage unit 120 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory element such as a random access memory (RAM) or a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk or an optical disk. The storage unit 120 has a user information storage unit 121 and a content storage unit 122.

(Regarding the user information storage unit 121)
The user information storage unit 121 according to the embodiment stores various information related to the user. An example of the user information storage unit 121 according to the embodiment is shown in Fig. 7. In the example shown in Fig. 7, the user information storage unit 121 has items such as "user ID (identifier)", "date and time", "height", "weight", "wake-up time", "bedtime", "number of times exercised", "time for exercise", "physical condition", "psychological condition", and "predicted date of menarche".

"User ID" is an identifier that identifies the user. "Date and time" is information related to the date and time when the menarche period associated with the "User ID" is predicted. As another example, the date and time may be the date and time when various user information was acquired.

"Height" is information relating to height associated with "User ID." "Weight" is information relating to weight associated with "User ID." "Wake-up time" is information relating to wake-up time associated with "User ID." "Bedtime" is information relating to bedtime associated with "User ID."

The "number of times exercising" is the number of times a user associated with a "user ID" exercises in a specified period. For example, the number of times exercising is the number of times a user exercises in a week, etc. The "time of exercising" is the time spent on one exercise session associated with a "user ID." In another example, the time of exercising may be the total time a user exercises in a specified period. For example, the time of exercising is the total time a user exercises in a week, etc.

"Physical condition" is information about the physical condition of the user associated with the "user ID." Physical condition here refers to, for example, changes in height or weight, changes in food intake, changes in body shape, the presence or absence of menstrual pain, the severity of menstrual pain (whether it is light or heavy), the amount of menstrual blood flow, the amount of secretions, the degree of decline in concentration, etc.

"Psychological state" is information on the psychological state of the user associated with the "user ID". The psychological state referred to here is, for example, a state of irritation, anger, depression, anxiety, etc. "Predicted menarche date" is information on the predicted menarche time associated with the "user ID". Note that the "predicted menarche date" may be stored in the user information storage unit 121 not only in the year, month, and day of the predicted date on which menarche is predicted, but also in the "predicted menarche date" in association with the "predicted menarche date", for example, a "probability of menarche" indicating the probability of menarche occurring within a specified period or after a specified period. For example, the user information storage unit 121 stores "probability of menarche within 3 months", "probability of menarche within 6 months", and "probability of menarche within 12 months" as the probabilities of menarche corresponding to the "predicted menarche date". Here, "probability of menarche within 3 months", "probability of menarche within 6 months", and "probability of menarche within 12 months" indicate the probability of menarche occurring within 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months, respectively, after the prediction is performed.

For example, in FIG. 7, "U1" identified by the user ID has a date and time of "DA1", a height of "TO1", a weight of "WE1", a wake-up time of "WT1", a bedtime of "BT1", and an exercise frequency of "EN1". "U1" also has an exercise time of "ET1", a physical condition of "PS1", a psychological condition of "MS1", and a predicted menarche date of "MP1".

In the example shown in FIG. 7, the date and time are expressed as abstract codes such as "DA1", but the date and time may be expressed as a number, a character string, or the file format of a file that includes information about the date and time.

(Regarding the content storage unit 122)
The content storage unit 122 according to the embodiment stores information related to content. An example of the content storage unit 122 according to the embodiment is shown in Fig. 8. In the example shown in Fig. 8, the content storage unit 122 has items such as "content ID" and "content".

"Content ID" is an identifier that identifies the content. "Content" is information about the content associated with the "Content ID." For example, information about the content is the content displayed on the app AP, the content that is the basis for the content displayed on the app AP, the components of the content displayed on the app AP (the parts that make up the content), etc.

For example, in FIG. 8, "C1" identified by the content ID has content "CO1". Note that in the example shown in FIG. 8, the content is expressed by an abstract code such as "CO1", but the content may be in the form of a file that contains information about the content.

(Regarding the control unit 130)
The control unit 130 is a controller, and is realized, for example, by a central processing unit (CPU) or a micro processing unit (MPU) executing various programs (corresponding to an example of an information processing program) stored in a storage device inside the information processing device 100 using a RAM as a working area. The control unit 130 is also a controller, and is realized, for example, by an integrated circuit such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a field programmable gate array (FPGA).

As shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 130 has an acquisition unit 131, a prediction unit 132, a generation unit 133, and a provision unit 134, and realizes or executes the functions and actions of the information processing described below. Note that the internal configuration of the control unit 130 is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 6, and may be other configurations as long as they perform the information processing described below. Also, the connection relationship between each processing unit of the control unit 130 is not limited to the connection relationship shown in FIG. 6, and may be other connection relationships.

(Regarding the Acquisition Unit 131)
The acquisition unit 131 acquires various types of information. For example, the acquisition unit 131 acquires various types of user information input by the user via the application AP running on the terminal device 10.

To give a more specific example, the acquisition unit 131 acquires, as user information, information related to the date of birth, height at a specific age, weight, wake-up time, bedtime, number of times exercising, duration of exercise, etc. Then, the acquisition unit 131 stores various types of user information in the user information storage unit 121.

(Regarding the prediction unit 132)
The prediction unit 132 predicts the time of menarche of the user based on user information indicating the physical characteristics of the user. For example, the prediction unit 132 predicts the time of menarche and the probability of menarche within a predetermined period (e.g., 30% within 3 months) based on information on the date of birth, characteristic information indicating physical characteristics such as height, weight, wake-up time, bedtime, number of times exercising, and time of exercising at age 7, characteristic information at age 9, and recent characteristic information. Here, the prediction unit 132 predicts the time of menarche to be "March 23, 2021" and "30% within 3 months". Then, the prediction unit 132 stores the time of menarche "March 23, 2021" and "30% within 3 months" in the user information storage unit 121. In this way, the prediction unit 132 predicts the time of menarche based on a combination of characteristic information at a specific age, and therefore the accuracy of the predicted time of menarche can be improved.

The prediction unit 132 predicts the user's time of menarche using various conventional techniques. The prediction unit 132 may also predict the user's time of menarche using conventional techniques such as machine learning. For example, the prediction unit 132 may use conventional techniques such as machine learning to generate a learning model that outputs the user's time of menarche or information such as a numerical value indicating the user's time of menarche when characteristic information at age 7, characteristic information at age 9, and recent characteristic information are input into the learning model.

For example, the prediction unit 132 performs a learning process using a method such as backpropagation using conventional technology such as deep learning. For example, the prediction unit 132 adjusts the weight values taken into account when values are transmitted between nodes through the learning process. In this way, the prediction unit 132 generates a learning model through a process such as backpropagation that corrects the weights so as to reduce the error between the output in the learning model and the correct answer corresponding to the input. For example, the prediction unit 132 generates a learning model by performing a process such as backpropagation so as to minimize a predetermined loss function.

The prediction unit 132 then inputs the characteristic information of a single user at age 7, the characteristic information at age 9, and the most recent characteristic information into the learning model. When the prediction unit 132 inputs each piece of characteristic information of a single user, the prediction unit 132 may use the information output by the learning model as the time of menarche of the single user. In this way, the prediction unit 132 can improve the accuracy of predicting the time of menarche by using a learning model generated based on various pieces of characteristic information of various users.

(Regarding the generation unit 133)
The generating unit 133 generates various contents. Specifically, the generating unit 133 generates contents to be displayed on the application AP based on the contents stored in the content storage unit 122. For example, the generating unit 133 generates various contents based on the contents stored in the content storage unit 122, based on the menarche time predicted by the prediction unit 132.

For example, the generation unit 133 generates content including different character strings for the user based on the period between the menarche predicted by the prediction unit 132 and the current time. To explain with a more specific example, if the menarche date "March 23, 2021" is more than one year from the present, the generation unit 133 generates content in which a message is placed to encourage the user to prepare for menarche. In addition, if the menarche date "March 23, 2021" is about six months from the present, the generation unit 133 generates content in which a message is placed to encourage the user to remeasure.

On the other hand, if the menarche date "March 23, 2021" is more than one year away from the present, the generation unit 133 generates content in which a message different from the above message is placed. For example, the generation unit 133 generates content according to the age of the user.

For example, if the menarche date "March 23, 2021" is more than one year away from now, and if the user is under 15 years old, the generation unit 133 displays content containing a message to increase the user's sense of security.

On the other hand, if the menarche date "March 23, 2021" is more than one year old from now and the user is 15 years old or older, the generation unit 133 generates content including a message alerting the user to their physical condition.

(Regarding the providing unit 134)
The providing unit 134 provides various information. Specifically, the providing unit 134 provides content to the user according to the menarche time generated by the generating unit 133. For example, the providing unit 134 provides the terminal device 10 with content in which a message urging the user to prepare for the menarche is placed. In this way, the providing unit 134 provides the user with content in which a message urging the user to prepare for the menarche is placed, thereby making it possible to increase awareness of menstruation among users who have not yet reached menarche.

5. Processing Procedure (1)
Next, a procedure of a provision process executed by the information processing device 100 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of a provision process executed by the information processing device 100 according to the embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 9, the acquisition unit 131 waits until the terminal device 10 installs the application AP (step S101). Specifically, if the terminal device 10 has not installed the application AP (step S101; No), the acquisition unit 131 waits until the terminal device 10 installs the application AP.

On the other hand, when the terminal device 10 installs the app AP (step S101; Yes), the acquisition unit 131 acquires user information (step S102). Then, the prediction unit 132 predicts the time of menarche of the user based on the user information acquired by the acquisition unit 131 (step S103).

Furthermore, the generation unit 133 generates content based on the menarche time predicted by the prediction unit 132 (step S104). Then, the provision unit 134 provides the content generated by the generation unit 133 to the terminal device 10 (step S105).

[6. Processing Procedure (2)]
Next, a procedure of a provision process executed by the information processing device 100 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 10. Fig. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of a provision process executed by the information processing device 100 according to the embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 10, the generation unit 133 determines whether or not to accept a user's operation on the application AP (step S201). Specifically, when the generation unit 133 determines that a user's operation is not to be accepted on the application AP (step S201; No), the generation unit 133 waits until it determines that a user's operation is to be accepted on the application AP.

On the other hand, if the generation unit 133 determines that the user's operation on the app AP is to be accepted (step S201; Yes), the generation unit 133 generates content based on various information (step S202). Then, the provision unit 134 provides the content generated by the generation unit 133 to the terminal device 10 (step S203).

7. Modifications
The above-described information processing device 100 may be implemented in various different forms other than the above embodiment. Therefore, other embodiments of the information processing device 100 will be described below.

[7-1. Information to be included in the content]
In the above embodiment, an example of the content including the menarche period has been described, but the content is not limited to the above example. For example, the content may be any content and may include any information.

For example, the content may include information about products or services. To explain with a more specific example, the content may include information about menarche, such as the time of menarche, and information about products that are expected to be used at the time of menarche. The products referred to here are, for example, absorbent articles such as napkins, period shorts, junior bras, painkillers, acne care products, and products that are used particularly during menstruation, such as absorbent articles such as pouches (e.g., pouches for storing sanitary products).

In this way, by providing content including information related to absorbent articles, the provision unit 134 of the information processing device 100 allows a woman to purchase or apply for items and services necessary for menstruation (such as sanitary products, acne care for rough skin during menstruation, painkillers for menstrual pain, underwear to accommodate breast enlargement due to secondary sexual characteristics before and after menstruation, and pouches to store sanitary products) and services before the onset of menstruation, rather than waiting until she has her first period (when her first period begins), and therefore allows the items or services necessary to be used when her period begins, allowing her to take appropriate measures against menstruation and symptoms and situations related to menstruation.

The content may also include advertising content related to products or services. The content may also include link information leading to content for purchasing products or content for using services, etc.

This allows the providing unit 134 to make it easier for users to purchase or use the aforementioned products and services before their first period begins, thereby encouraging users to take appropriate measures against menstruation and symptoms and situations related to menstruation.

[7-2. Offering coupons]
In the above embodiment, an example of the provision process in which the provision unit 134 of the information processing device 100 provides the generated content to the user has been described, but the present invention is not limited to the above example. For example, the provision unit 134 may set a certain number of days since the first menstruation as an anniversary, and provide the user with a coupon that can be used when purchasing a product or using a service on that anniversary.

In this way, the providing unit 134 of the information processing device 100 according to the embodiment can provide coupons and the like that are beneficial to the user based on the date of menarche. In general, applications that manage information related to menstruation are used by users who wish to manage their menstruation, physical condition, and the like after menarche. For this reason, the date of menarche is often left to the user's memory. However, the app AP is used by users before menarche. For this reason, the app AP can accurately manage the date of menarche. This allows the providing unit 134 to provide information to users based on the date of menarche. In addition, this allows the providing unit 134 to encourage users to take appropriate measures against menstruation and symptoms and situations related to menstruation by making it easier to purchase or use the above-mentioned products and services before the start of the first period.

[7-3. Examples of other content (1)]
In the above embodiment, an example of the provision process in which the provision unit 134 of the information processing device 100 provides the generated content to the user has been described, but the present invention is not limited to the above example. For example, the provision unit 134 may provide the user with content including the results of an analysis of changes in physiology or physical condition recorded by the user.

For example, the providing unit 134 may provide content including suggestions for products or services determined based on changes in menstruation or physical condition. The providing unit 134 may also provide content including advice on health management in accordance with changes in menstruation or physical condition. The providing unit 134 may also provide content including information on care specific to a physical condition that differs from care for menstruation in accordance with changes in physical condition. In this way, the providing unit 134 of the information processing device 100 according to the embodiment can provide appropriate content in accordance with changes in menstruation or physical condition between the time of menarche and the present time.

After the providing unit 134 provides the above content, the acquiring unit 131 of the information processing device 100 may receive from the user the status of resolution of problems related to menstruation or physical condition. For example, the acquiring unit 131 may receive information from the user such as that a sanitary napkin previously leaked when used but is now leak-free. As a result, the acquiring unit 131 may evaluate the user's level of understanding of menstruation. Then, the providing unit 134 may provide the user with content including information on products or services suitable for the user based on such evaluation.

[7-4. Examples of other content (2)]
In the above embodiment, an example of the provision process in which the provision unit 134 of the information processing device 100 provides the user with the content C6 entitled "Measurement result" shown in Fig. 3 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to the above example. For example, the provision unit 134 may provide the user with the content C13 shown in Fig. 11 instead of the content C6 shown in Fig. 3.

Now, using FIG. 11, we will explain the content C13 provided by the providing unit 134 and displayed on the terminal device 10. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of content related to a modified example. In the example of FIG. 11, the terminal device 10 displays the content C13 including information on the timing of menarche and the probability of having menarche.

For example, content C11 includes information related to the menarche, such as the predicted menarche time of "around March 2021" and the number of months from the present time until the menarche time of "five months remaining." Content C11 also includes an area AR131 in which an arc-shaped graph is arranged. Here, the arc-shaped graph indicates information equivalent to the rectangular graph arranged in content C6. Furthermore, an icon superimposed on the arc-shaped graph indicates the current date.

Content C11 also includes an area AR132 in which buttons for transitioning to various contents are arranged. For example, the icon on the right in area AR132 is a button for transitioning to content for registering the menstrual cycle.

Content C11 also includes an area AR133 in which information regarding the probability of menarche is placed. In the example of FIG. 11, the probability of menarche within 3 months is "25%." The probability of menarche within 4-6 months is "60%." The probability of menarche after 7 months is "15%." Content C11 also includes a comment, "You're about to get your first period. Start preparing for napkins and sanitary shorts!".

In this way, the providing unit 134 of the information processing device 100 according to the embodiment can allow the user to visually organize and understand information related to the timing of menarche. In addition, the providing unit 134 can allow the user to visually understand the timing of menarche and the probability of having menarche.

[7-5. Other]
Among the above-mentioned processes, all or part of the processes described as being performed automatically may be performed manually. Also, all or part of the processes described as being performed manually may be performed automatically by a known method. In addition, the information including the processing procedures, specific names, various data and parameters shown in the above documents and drawings may be changed arbitrarily unless otherwise specified. For example, the various information shown in each drawing is not limited to the illustrated information.

In addition, each component of each device shown in the figure is a functional concept, and does not necessarily have to be physically configured as shown in the figure. In other words, the specific form of distribution and integration of each device is not limited to that shown in the figure. Furthermore, each component may be functionally or physically distributed and integrated in any unit, in whole or in part, depending on various loads, usage conditions, etc.

For example, the terminal device 10 may have some of the configuration of the information processing device 100 and perform the processing. Also, the terminal device 10 may have all of the configuration of the information processing device 100 and perform the processing only with the terminal device 10. In this case, the providing unit 134 displays the content to the user. Also, the information processing device 100 may have all of the configuration of the terminal device 10 and perform the processing only with the information processing device 100.

The above processes may be combined as appropriate to the extent that no contradictions exist.

The above-mentioned "section, module, unit" can be read as "means" or "circuit". For example, a prediction unit can be read as a prediction means or a prediction circuit.

8. Hardware Configuration
Moreover, the terminal device 10 and the information processing device 100 according to the above-described embodiment are realized, for example, by a computer 1000 configured as shown in Fig. 12. Fig. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration. The computer 1000 is connected to an output device 1010 and an input device 1020, and a calculation device 1030, a cache 1040, a memory 1050, an output IF (Interface) 1060, an input IF 1070, and a network IF 1080 are connected by a bus 1090.

The arithmetic device 1030 operates based on programs stored in the cache 1040 or memory 1050, or programs read from the input device 1020, and executes various processes. The cache 1040 is a cache such as a RAM that temporarily stores data used by the arithmetic device 1030 for various calculations. The memory 1050 is a storage device in which data used by the arithmetic device 1030 for various calculations and various databases are registered, and is a memory realized by a ROM (Read Only Memory), HDD (Hard Disk Drive), flash memory, etc.

The output IF 1060 is an interface for transmitting information to be output to an output device 1010 such as a monitor or printer, which outputs various types of information, and may be realized, for example, by a connector conforming to a standard such as USB (Universal Serial Bus), DVI (Digital Visual Interface), or HDMI (registered trademark) (High Definition Multimedia Interface). On the other hand, the input IF 1070 is an interface for receiving information from various input devices 1020 such as a mouse, keyboard, scanner, etc., and may be realized, for example, by a USB.

For example, the input device 1020 may be realized by a device that reads information from an optical recording medium such as a CD (Compact Disc), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), or a PD (Phase change rewritable Disk), a magneto-optical recording medium such as an MO (Magneto-Optical disk), a tape medium, a magnetic recording medium, or a semiconductor memory. The input device 1020 may also be realized by an external storage medium such as a USB memory.

The network IF 1080 has the function of receiving data from other devices via the network N and sending it to the computing device 1030, and also transmitting data generated by the computing device 1030 to other devices via the network N.

Here, the arithmetic device 1030 controls the output device 1010 and the input device 1020 via the output IF 1060 and the input IF 1070. For example, the arithmetic device 1030 loads a program from the input device 1020 or the memory 1050 onto the cache 1040 and executes the loaded program. For example, when the computer 1000 functions as the information processing device 100, the arithmetic device 1030 of the computer 1000 realizes the functions of the control unit 130 by executing the program loaded onto the cache 1040.
