US 8166405 B2Abstract
a relative processing part deriving, user by user, a relative evaluation parameter showing a relationship between the users in the evaluation theme based on the evaluation index value derived, user by user, by the evaluation processing part; and
a display data generation part generating display data which shows an evaluation image of each user showing the relationship between the users in the evaluation theme, by generating, user by user, the evaluation image based on the relative evaluation parameter derived, user by user, by the relative processing part.
a second derivation step of deriving, user by user, a relative evaluation parameter showing a relationship between the users in the evaluation theme based on the evaluation index value derived user by user in the first derivation step;
a generation step of generating display data which shows an evaluation image of each user showing the relationship between the users in the evaluation theme, by generating, user by user, the evaluation image based on the relative evaluation parameter derived user by user in the second derivation step; and
a transmission step of transmitting the display data generated in the generation step to a display device that transmitted the display request.
5. At least one recording medium having encoded thereon processor-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the processor to carry out a method for use in an information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus including a communication part communing with a display device displaying an image and a storage part storing, user by user, history information showing a user state chronologically, the method comprising:
a transmission step of transmitting the display data generated in the generation step to a display device that have transmitted the display request. Description
Under these situations, a technology to represent the state of a user by images has been under development. For example, a technology disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-110340 can be cited as a technology to generate images showing the state of a user's health based on parameter information showing the state of a user's health.
The evaluation processing part 108 is not limited to reading history information itself stored in the storage part and may generate history information for deriving evaluation index values suitable for derivation of evaluation index values such as reading information contained in the history information selectively and processing read information. Incidentally, history information itself stored in the storage part and history information for deriving evaluation index values generated by the evaluation processing part 108 will not be specifically distinguished below and will be called “history information”.
When Evaluation Theme of “Asset Management” is Specified by Display Request
Here, the evaluation processing part 108 calculates, for example, the balance (Bn) in the bank account history information (Ga) at the time (n) using the balance (Bn−1), deposit (Cn−1), and expenditure (Dn−1) at the time (n−1). More specifically, the evaluation processing part 108 uses Bn=(Bn−1)+(Cn−1)−(Dn−1) to calculate the balance (Bn). If information on the balance exists in bank account history information stored in the storage part, the evaluation processing part 108 can naturally use the information as the balance (Bn).
The evaluation processing part 108 also calculates the balance (En) of the securities trading history information (Sa) at the time (n) using the balance (En−1) and profit and loss (Fn−1) at the time (n−1). More specifically, the evaluation processing part 108 uses En=(En−1)+(Fn−1) to calculate the balance (En). If information on the balance exists in securities trading history information stored in the storage part, the evaluation processing part 108 can naturally use the information as the balance (En).
The securities constitution index (O) is an index to evaluate asset constitution content and represents the ratio occupied by the securities balance to assets. The securities constitution index (O) can be derived, for example, by determining the average value of the securities constitution (o) during predetermined times (for example, 0┘�n┘�12). In the example in FIG. 4, the arithmetic mean of the securities constitution (o) becomes “32.3[%]” and thus, “32.3” can be set as the securities constitution index (O). Incidentally, the securities constitution index (O) is not limited to the arithmetic mean and can be derived, for example, by the geometrical mean or weighted average. Like the securities constitution index (O), an “average value” according to an embodiment of the present invention shown below will be derived, for example, by various methods such as the arithmetic mean, geometrical mean, and weighted average.
As shown in FIG. 16, the display data generation part 112 can relatively represent the degree of asset stability of the user A to user C by the pose being set in accordance with the asset variability relative parameter (Y).
[I-4] Display Data Based on Securities Constitution Relative Parameter (Z)
As shown with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG. 17, when the evaluation theme of “asset management” is specified based on a display request, the information processing apparatus 100 derives relative evaluation parameters from history information corresponding to users whose display is requested by the display request for each user. Then, based on derived relative evaluation parameters, the information processing apparatus 100 generates display data from which an image showing relative relationships of information about assets of each user is displayed. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 can represent relative relationships of information about assets of each user indirectly by using visual information, that is, images, instead of values themselves of relative evaluation parameters derived based on history information.
When Evaluation Theme of “Exercise Amount” is Specified by Display Request
Total metabolic rate [kcal]=(sleeping metabolic rate)+(resting metabolic rate)+(kinetic metabolic rate) (Formula 10)
Sleeping metabolic rate [kcal]=(basal metabolic rate standard value)�0.9�(weight)�(sleeping time) (Formula 11)
Resting metabolic rate [kcal]=(basal metabolic rate standard value)׷1.2�(weight)�(sleeping time) (Formula 12)
When Evaluation Theme of “Diet” is Specified by Display Request
Calorie balance=(total intake)−(total metabolic rate) (Formula 20)
[Display Apparatus 200, 300, 400, . . . ]
Here, the information processing apparatus 100 can represent relative relationships of information about each user in accordance with each evaluation theme indirectly by using visual information, that is, images, instead of values themselves of relative evaluation parameters derived based on history information by performing the processing of (1-1) Derivation of evaluation index values for each user, (1-2) Derivation of relative evaluation parameters showing relative relationships among users, (1-3) Generation of evaluation image and (1-4) Generation of display data.
