Claim 12:
13. A comfort-analyzing method executed by a comfort-analyzing device configured to analyze comfort of a user, the comfort-analyzing method comprising:
accepting a plurality of inputs, at each of a plurality of different time points, of a current comfort level of the user, and separately sensory information representing sensation of the user associated with the input current comfort level of the user and information representing an environmental factor that caused the input of the current comfort level of the user by the user; and
constructing a cognitive-structure model regarding the comfort of the user by extracting the input current comfort level, the sensory information, and the information representing the environmental factor, which are input in said accepting, in chronological order,
wherein the constructed cognitive model is configured such that the input current comfort level is placed at an upper level, the sensory information is placed at a middle level, and the information representing the environmental factor is placed at a lower level, and
wherein said accepting includes accepting, as one of the inputs from the user, a reply, inputted after the input of the current comfort level, the sensory information, and the information representing the environmental factor, linking the environmental factor with the input current comfort level of the user.
