Description

The present technology relates to an information processing device and a method, and an information processing system , and more particularly to an information processing device and a method capable of achieving both anonymity and accuracy, and an information processing system .

For example, in medical treatment, taking medicine by the patient himself is a useful treatment method that does not consume much medical resources, which is obvious to be tight in the future, as compared with the treatment by the medical person himself such as injection and surgery.

However, the proportion of lifestyle-related diseases is increasing in modern medical care compared to conventional medical care, which has many acute diseases. Lifestyle-related diseases often result in patients not taking the prescribed medications compared to acute illnesses, which worsens their symptoms and consumes more medical resources than when properly taken. Is inviting.

For example, in the case of diabetes, if you took the therapeutic drug properly when you did not have much subjective symptoms, it would not have worsened, but because you did not take the drug, the symptoms worsened, and you decided to undergo dialysis or hospitalization. If this happens, the consumption of medical resources will jump dramatically. For this reason, it is required to improve the medication rate (adherence).

On the other hand, lifestyle-related diseases also have various symptoms and drugs, and the timing of medication instruction differs depending on the age and the drug. Accurate personal information of patients is required to provide appropriate medication guidance, but management costs are high to handle sensitive personal information such as medication history.

As a method of managing drug history information, a technique for improving security by managing drug history information without holding information that can directly identify an individual user has also been proposed in a data server (for example,). See Patent Document 1).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-101585

By the way, notifications and questionnaires to patients taking medication rely on a group (panel) that is highly accurate but has a strong connection with actual personal information, as in the case of treatments and surveys at medical institutions. On the contrary, it is customary to rely on a group (panel) that is self-reported on the Web and has high anonymity but its accuracy is not guaranteed.

In such a situation, the former method has few psychological barriers to be notified to the patient undergoing treatment, but the questionnaire comes even after the treatment is over because the personal information is used for purposes other than the intended purpose. It gets closer and has a big psychological barrier. That is, with the former method, although the accuracy is high, it is difficult to secure anonymity.

On the other hand, in the latter method, since it is a self-report, there is no detailed data on medication and accuracy is not guaranteed. Is difficult to send.

This technology is related to an information processing system that uses a mechanism that balances anonymity and accuracy to enable notifications and questionnaires that maintain anonymity while maintaining accuracy in medication records. Is.

If both anonymity and accuracy can be achieved in this way, for example, depending on the characteristics peculiar to the drug, notifications such as "notify on the nth day after taking the drug" and the efficacy of the drug can be specified. , It is possible to realize notifications and questionnaires that take into consideration the differences between the original drug and the generic drug.

In this technique, the data center constituting the information processing system manages the drug history information of the user who is a patient by a mechanism that achieves both anonymity and accuracy.

Here, for example, the data center acquires and manages the drug history information from pharmacies and medical institutions so that the accuracy of the drug history information is guaranteed. The drug history information is information about a drug prescribed to a user who is a patient and taking the drug, such as information in an electronic medication notebook.

In addition, drug history information and patient information are handled by real names in pharmacies and medical institutions, while they are anonymized and stored in data sensors. If the personal information of the user who is a patient is saved in a portable medium such as a card possessed by the user, the drug history information obtained from the data center at another pharmacy or medical institution can be used later. By combining it with personal information stored in a carrying medium or the like, it is possible to realize a display with a real name.

According to the information processing system that performs notifications and questionnaires based on the above-mentioned drug history information, for example, the following features (1) to (8) can be realized.

(1)
It is possible to segment notifications and questionnaires by using an electronic medication notebook that takes personal information into consideration and users associated with similar information as a population (2).
The target for sending notifications and questionnaires can be personal terminal devices owned by users, portable terminal devices installed in pharmacies, computers in hospitals, and the like (3).
Notifications and questionnaires can be given only to users whose taking period of a specific drug is within a certain range (4).
Notifications and questionnaires can be given only to users who have visited a specific pharmacy or medical institution within the past n years (5).
Notifications and questionnaires can be given at specified timings, such as "3 days after the start date of administration" (6).
Individual attributes such as weight, age, occupation, blood pressure, blood glucose level, and family structure can be recorded in consideration of personal information, and notifications and questionnaires can be conducted using those attributes (7).
Regarding the contents of notifications and questionnaires, an entity other than the sender's data center can draft notifications and questionnaires as a client (8).
It is possible to establish a mechanism to confirm the contents of notifications and questionnaires drafted by the client at a data center, etc.

Then, the embodiment to which this technique is applied will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.

Here, an example will be described in which the information managed in the data center is drug history information provided by a pharmacy or a medical institution. However, the information managed by the data center, that is, the information used for notifications and questionnaires, is not limited to this, and any information that is desired to be anonymized by separating personal information from the provided information is suitable. (However, it is not always necessary to request the separation of personal information).

Specifically, the information managed by the data center can be, for example, information provided by various facilities such as financial institutions, tax offices, transportation facilities, long-term care facilities, funeral directors, and fitness clubs. In this case, the user is not the patient but the user of each of those facilities.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of an embodiment of an information processing system to which the present technology is applied.

The presence or absence of conversion request and the terminal identification information are recorded in association with each other.

Here, the year of birth and gender are the year of birth and gender of the user specified by the personal identification information. It is possible to specify the age of the user from this birth year. In addition, information on pre-existing diseases and allergies is information indicating pre-existing diseases and allergies declared, etc. for users identified by personal identification information, and information on side effects is reported for users identified by personal identification information. Information that indicates the date and time and content of the side effect that occurred, the drug that caused the side effect, and so on.

Furthermore, whether or not there is a desire to switch to a generic drug is information indicating whether or not the user specified by the personal identification information wants to switch to a generic drug, and the terminal identification information is specified by the personal identification information. This is information for identifying the portable terminal device 14 possessed by the user.

In addition, as information about the user, in addition, within the range that considers personal information such as the user's weight, occupation, blood pressure measurement result, blood glucose level measurement result, family structure, etc., that is, within the range where the individual user is not directly specified. , Information indicating the attributes of the individual user may be recorded.

The information about the user included in such target person information is information that is difficult to identify the individual user only from the information even if the information is combined. In other words, information about the user includes information about the user himself, such as the year of birth and gender of the user, information about the user's drug and medical history, but itself, such as the user's name, address, and telephone number. It does not contain information that can directly identify the user from.

Further, the recording unit 53 records information on the drug history as information constituting the subject information. In the example shown in FIG. 5, personal identification information, dispensing pharmacy identification information associated with the personal identification information, in-pharmacy patient identification number, and drug history information are recorded as information on the drug history.

Here, the dispensing pharmacy identification information is information that uploads the associated drug history information, that is, uniquely identifies the pharmacy as the member store system 11 that generated the drug history information. Further, the patient identification number in the pharmacy is identification information that uniquely identifies the user specified by the personal identification information in the pharmacy as the member store system 11, and the drug history information is the user identified by the personal identification information. This is drug history information about.

In addition, the drug history information recorded as part of the subject information includes, for example, the name of the prescription issuing medical institution, the name of the medical department, the date of prescription issuance, the date of dispensing, the name of the prescription drug, and the prescription, as shown by arrow Q12.

The conditions may be determined by information or the like. Further, the area information referred to here is the area where the user lives, the area where the facility such as a pharmacy or medical institution used by the user is located, the area where the user works, and the like. That is, any data may be used for extraction as long as it is the data recorded as the target person information in the data center 12.

Further, the notification selection information may include conditions related to the timing of notification, conditions related to the terminal device for transmitting the notification, and the like. For example, with respect to the terminal device of the user who performs the notification by the notification selection information, the user who owns a plurality of terminal devices may be specified to notify one of the terminal devices, or each of the plurality of terminal devices may be notified. It may be possible to specify to notify. Further, when the user has registered a plurality of terminal devices, the terminal device having the latest registration date may be notified.

Further, the notification selection information may be used to specify the number of people for each category when extracting users to be notified, for example, extracting 100 men and women each. That is, the notification selection information may include information that specifies the number of people to be extracted for each category.

In addition, the information regarding the notification may include the expiration date of the notification information. The expiration date referred to here is, for example, a period during which notification information can be transmitted or displayed on a terminal device on the user side, that is, a notification expiration date.

In the recording unit 53 of the data center 12, in addition to the information related to the notification indicated by the arrow Q21, for example, the notification target person information indicated by the arrow Q22 is also recorded.

The notification target person information is a list including a notification ID indicating the notification information, and personal identification information and terminal identification information of each user targeted for notification associated with the notification ID.

When the notification information is transmitted, it is specified by the terminal identification information associated with the personal identification information in the notification target person information owned by the user specified by the personal identification information included in the notification target person information. Notification information is transmitted to the portable terminal device 14.

Further, for example, as shown by the arrow Q31 in FIG. 7, the questionnaire ID, the questionnaire information, and the questionnaire selection information are recorded in the recording unit 53 in association with each other as the information related to the questionnaire.

Here, the questionnaire ID is an ID that uniquely identifies the questionnaire information. In addition, the questionnaire information is information consisting of text information, figures, and the like of the question contents of the questionnaire conducted to the user.

Further, the questionnaire selection information is the same information as the notification selection information.

That is, the questionnaire selection information is information indicating the conditions related to the extraction of the user to be transmitted the questionnaire information. In other words, a user who satisfies the extraction condition indicated by the questionnaire selection information is targeted for transmission of the questionnaire information.

In the questionnaire selection information, the extraction conditions indicated by the questionnaire selection information include, for example, information on the drug such as the period of administration, the method of administration, the content of the drug, and the individual such as the user's age, gender, blood type, and regional information. The conditions may be defined by information about the user in a range not specified.

Further, the questionnaire selection information may include conditions related to the timing of conducting the questionnaire, conditions related to the terminal device for transmitting the questionnaire information, and the like, and the user to be sent the questionnaire is extracted from the questionnaire selection information. It may be possible to specify the number of people to be extracted for each category.

In addition, the information regarding the questionnaire may include the expiration date of the questionnaire information. The expiration date referred to here is, for example, a period during which questionnaire information can be transmitted or displayed, a period during which responses are accepted, and the like.

Further, the recording unit 53 also records, for example, the questionnaire target person information indicated by the arrow Q32.

The questionnaire target person information is a list including a questionnaire ID indicating the questionnaire information, and personal identification information and terminal identification information of each user targeted for transmission associated with the questionnaire ID.

<Explanation of notification target person extraction process>
Next, the operation of the information processing system will be described. In the data center 12, notification information and questionnaire information are acquired from the input terminal device 15 as transmission information to be transmitted to the portable terminal device 14 and the member store system 11, and the transmission information thereof is transmitted at an appropriate timing.

First, the notification target person extraction process in which the data center 12 extracts the notification target of the notification information and generates the notification target person information will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In step S11, the communication unit 51 acquires and controls the notification ID, the notification information, and the notification selection information by receiving the notification ID, the notification information, and the notification selection information transmitted from the input terminal device 15. It is supplied to the unit 52.

In step S12, the target person extraction unit 61 extracts the user to be notified, that is, the user specified by the notification selection information, based on the acquired notification selection information and the target person information recorded in the recording unit 53. do. More specifically, the portable terminal device 14 of the user to be notified is extracted. The user's portable terminal device 14 to be notified is specified by personal identification information and terminal identification information.

For example, when the extraction condition indicated by the notification selection information is a user whose age is 60 years or older, the target person extraction unit 61 includes the year of birth included in the information about the user as the target person information shown in FIG. By searching for users who are 60 years old or older based on, the users to be notified are extracted.

In step S13, the notification information management unit 62 generates notification target person information based on the extraction result of the user to be notified in step S12.

For example, the notification information management unit 62 reads out the personal identification information of the user and the terminal identification information associated with the personal identification information from the recording unit 53 for each user extracted as the notification target. Then, the notification information management unit 62 generates a list obtained by associating the notification ID acquired in step S11 with the personal identification information and the terminal identification information of all the users targeted for notification as the notification target person information.

When the notification target person information is generated in this way, the notification information management unit 62 includes information regarding the notification including the notification ID, the notification information, and the notification selection information acquired in step S11, and the generated notification target person information. Is supplied to the recording unit 53, and recording is instructed.

At this time, the notification information management unit 62 processes the notification information as necessary. The notification information finally obtained is, for example, message information for displaying the content of the notification regarding the drug A, for example, since caution is required in light of the vias standard, we will alert you.

In step S14, the recording unit 53 records the information regarding the notification and the notification target person information supplied from the notification information management unit 62, and the notification target person extraction process ends.

As described above, the data center 12 extracts the user to be notified and generates the notification target person information based on the target person information having both accuracy and anonymity, and the notification target person information and the notification. Record information. This makes it possible to carry out notifications that have both accuracy and anonymity. For example, in the data center 12, since the personal information of the user is not retained, the user to be notified can be extracted while maintaining the anonymity, and the psychological barrier to receiving the notification of the user can be further reduced. ..

Here, an example of extracting the user to be notified based on the target person information has been described. The information about the user included in the target person information may include information input by the individual user. Specifically, for example, information on pre-existing diseases and allergies, meal contents of the user, and the like may be input by the individual user.

Since the information input by such an individual user is slightly less accurate than the information acquired from the member store system 11, such information is used when extracting the user to be notified. You may not have it. However, depending on the content of the notification, it is also useful to utilize the information input by such an individual user.

Further, for example, setting information such as opt-in or opt-out input by an individual user, that is, whether or not a notification is desired to be received may be used for extracting a user to be notified.

In such a case, for example, the communication unit 51 of the data center 12 receives the information transmitted from the portable terminal device 14 or the member store system 11 indicating whether or not the reception is desired, and supplies the information to the control unit 52. The control unit 52 generates setting information based on the supplied information. For example, the setting information is information including personal identification information, terminal identification information, and a flag indicating whether or not reception is desired. The control unit 52 supplies the generated setting information to the recording unit 53 and records it.

Then, in step S12, the target person extraction unit 61 extracts the user to be notified based on the notification selection information, the target person information, and the setting information. At this time, even if the user satisfies the extraction condition indicated by the notification selection information, for example, if the flag in the setting information is a value indicating that reception is not desired, the user is not targeted for notification.

<Explanation of notification acquisition process and notification information transmission process>
When the notification information and the notification target person information are recorded in the data center 12 as described above, the portable terminal device 14 of each user acquires the notification information at an appropriate timing.

Hereinafter, the notification acquisition process by the portable terminal device 14 and the notification information transmission process by the data center 12 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

For example, the notification acquisition process by the portable terminal device 14 is performed when the user operates the portable terminal device 14 to start an application program related to a service provided by the information processing system, or when the application program is sent to the data center 12. It starts at the timing such as when accessing. For example, the timing at which the application program accesses the data center 12 may be a timing instructed by the user to view the drug history information, or may be a predetermined timing such as automatic reading.

In step S41, the communication unit 91 of the portable terminal device 14 transmits the personal identification information and the terminal identification information to the data center 12 via the communication network 16.

That is, the control unit 93 reads the user's personal identification information and the terminal identification information from the recording unit 95 and supplies them to the communication unit 91, and the communication unit 91 supplies the personal identification information and the terminal identification information supplied from the control unit 93 to the communication network. It is transmitted to the data center 12 via 16.

Then, in the data center 12, in step S51, the communication unit 51 receives the personal identification information and the terminal identification information transmitted from the portable terminal device 14 and supplies them to the control unit 52.

In step S52, the notification information management unit 62 should notify the user based on the personal identification information, the terminal identification information, and the notification target person information for each of the one or more notification information recorded in the recording unit 53. Search for notification information.

That is, when the notification target person information for the predetermined notification ID includes the combination of the personal identification information and the terminal identification information received in step S51, the notification information management unit 62 indicates by the predetermined notification ID. It is assumed that the notification information to be notified should be notified to the user.

The notification information management unit 62 reads the notification information to be notified to the user searched in this way from the recording unit 53 and supplies it to the communication unit 51.

In step S53, the communication unit 51 transmits the notification information supplied from the notification information management unit 62 to the portable terminal device 14 via the communication network 16.

In step S54, the notification information management unit 62 controls the recording unit 53 to delete the user's personal identification information and the terminal identification information from the notification target person information of the notification information transmitted to the user, so that the notification target person information Is updated, and the notification information transmission process ends.

Further, when the notification information is transmitted in step S53, in step S42, the communication unit 91 of the portable terminal device 14 receives the notification information transmitted from the data center 12 and supplies it to the control unit 93. The control unit 93 supplies the notification information supplied from the communication unit 91 to the recording unit 95 and records it.

Further, for example, in the running application program, the control unit 93 displays that the display unit 94 has new notification information, and when the user instructs the display of the notification information, the instructed notification information is displayed. Will be done.

That is, in step S43, the control unit 93 reads the notification information instructed by the user from the recording unit 95, supplies it to the display unit 94, and displays the notification information. When the notification information is displayed in this way, the notification acquisition process ends.

As described above, the portable terminal device 14 acquires the notification information from the data center 12 at an appropriate timing and displays the acquired notification information. As a result, it is possible to realize notification of notification information that has both accuracy and anonymity. After that, for example, the notification is continuously displayed until the specified expiration date, and the notification after the expiration date is not displayed.

Although the example in which the notification information is displayed in the notification acquisition process has been described here, the notification information does not necessarily have to be displayed immediately after being received. That is, the portable terminal device 14 may receive and record the notification information once, and the notification information may be displayed at a later date when the display is instructed by the user, for example.

Further, although the example in which the portable terminal device 14 performs the notification in the pull format for reading the notification information from the data center 12 has been described here, the notification may be performed in the push format. In such a case, the notification information management unit 62 of the data center 12 is included in the notification target person information immediately or at an appropriate timing after performing the notification target person extraction process described with reference to FIG. 8, for example. Notify the user's portable terminal device 14 specified by the personal identification information and the terminal identification information.

That is, the notification information management unit 62 reads out the terminal identification information included in the notification target person information and the notification information associated with the notification ID included in the notification target person information from the recording unit 53. Then, the notification information management unit 62 obtains a token based on, for example, the read terminal identification information, supplies the notification information to the communication unit 51, and causes the portable terminal device 14 to transmit the notification information based on the obtained token. ..

The communication unit 51 transmits the supplied notification information to the portable terminal device 14 via the communication network 16 under the control of the notification information management unit 62. When the notification information is transmitted, the notification information management unit 62 updates the notification target person information recorded in the recording unit 53.

Further, the transmission destination of the notification information is not limited to the portable terminal device 14, but may be a pharmacy or a medical institution as a member store system 11.

For example, when browsing a user's drug history information in a pharmacy as a member store system 11, the member store terminal device 21 has acquired personal identification information read from the user's IC card 13 by the information identification reader 23 and the receipt computer 22. Dispensing pharmacy identification information is transmitted to the data center 12 via the communication network 16.

The data center 12 performs the processes of steps S52 to S54 described above based on the personal identification information and the dispensing pharmacy identification information transmitted from the member store terminal device 21, and the user specified by the personal identification information is notified. The notification information is transmitted to the member store terminal device 21 specified by the dispensing pharmacy identification information. As a result, the member store system 11 can receive and display the notification information transmitted from the data center 12 and present it to the user.

By the way, since the data center 12 has a mechanism (mechanism) in which the personal information of the user is not retained, the text of the notification content by the notification information includes personal information such as the address of the recipient of the notification. I can't. However, not only personal identification information but also personal information such as a user's name and gender are recorded in the portable terminal device 14 and the IC card 13.

Therefore, by using the notification information and the personal information recorded in the portable terminal device 14 or the like when displaying the notification information, the notification content by the notification information is displayed by adding the address, that is, the name of the individual user and the like. You may do it.

In such a case, for example, the control unit 93 of the portable terminal device 14 reads out the personal information of the user associated with the personal identification information transmitted in step S41 from the recording unit 95. Then, the control unit 93 extracts necessary information such as a name from the read personal information, embeds it in the text or title of the notification content indicated by the notification information, and then supplies the information to the display unit 94 for display.

As a result, for example, it is possible to clearly indicate that the notification target of the notification information is the user himself / herself, or when a plurality of users are registered in the portable terminal device 14, a notification targeting only a specific user can be sent. You can go.

<Explanation of questionnaire target person extraction process>
In the above, an example of notifying a user who is a patient by notification information has been described, but by using the notification content as a question content, a questionnaire is received by receiving a response from the user instead of a one-sided notification to the user. Can be carried out.

Hereinafter, the processing performed when the transmission information transmitted from the data center 12 is the questionnaire information will be described. First, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 10, the questionnaire target person extraction process in which the data center 12 extracts the questionnaire target person and generates the questionnaire target person information will be described.

In step S81, the communication unit 51 acquires and controls the questionnaire ID, the questionnaire information, and the questionnaire selection information by receiving the questionnaire ID, the questionnaire information, and the questionnaire selection information transmitted from the input terminal device 15. It is supplied to the unit 52.

In step S82, the target person extraction unit 61 is a user to be surveyed based on the acquired questionnaire selection information and the target person information recorded in the recording unit 53, that is, a user specified by the questionnaire selection information. To extract. In step S82, the same processing as in step S12 of FIG. 8 is performed.

In step S83, the questionnaire information management unit 63 generates questionnaire target person information based on the extraction result of the user to be the target of the questionnaire in step S82.
For example, the questionnaire information management unit 63 arranges the personal identification information and the terminal identification information of the user extracted as the target of the questionnaire, and generates a list obtained in association with the questionnaire ID acquired in step S81 as the questionnaire target person information. do.

When the questionnaire target person information is generated in this way, the questionnaire information management unit 63 includes information on the questionnaire including the questionnaire ID, the questionnaire information, and the questionnaire selection information acquired in step S81, and the generated questionnaire target person information. Is supplied to the recording unit 53, and recording is instructed. At this time, the questionnaire information management unit 63 processes the questionnaire information as necessary to obtain the final questionnaire information.

In step S84, the recording unit 53 records the information regarding the questionnaire supplied from the questionnaire information management unit 63 and the questionnaire target person information, and the questionnaire target person extraction process ends.

As described above, the data center 12 extracts the user to be surveyed based on the target person information having both accuracy and anonymity, and generates the questionnaire target person information. This makes it possible to conduct a questionnaire that has both accuracy and anonymity.

In the questionnaire target person extraction process as well, the information input by the individual user is used for extracting the user to be surveyed, as in the notification target person extraction process described with reference to FIG. It may be used or it may not be used. In addition, setting information such as opt-in and opt-out input by individual users may also be used for extracting users to be surveyed.

<Explanation of questionnaire information acquisition processing and questionnaire information transmission processing>
When the questionnaire information and the questionnaire target person information are recorded in the data center 12 as described above, the portable terminal device 14 of each user acquires the questionnaire information at an appropriate timing.

Hereinafter, the questionnaire information acquisition process by the portable terminal device 14 and the questionnaire information transmission process by the data center 12 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

For example, the questionnaire information acquisition process by the portable terminal device 14 is started at the same timing as the notification acquisition process described with reference to FIG.

When the questionnaire information acquisition process is started, the process of step S111 is performed, and the process of step S121 is performed in the data center 12 according to the process of step S111. These processes are performed in step S41 and step S41 of FIG. Since it is the same as the process of step S51, the description thereof will be omitted.

In step S122, the questionnaire information management unit 63 should send to the user based on the personal identification information, the terminal identification information, and the questionnaire target person information for each one or a plurality of questionnaire information recorded in the recording unit 53. Search for survey information.

That is, in step S122, the personal identification information and the terminal identification information received in step S121 are used, the same processing as in step S52 of FIG. 9 is performed, and the questionnaire information to be transmitted to the user is searched.

The questionnaire information management unit 63 reads out the questionnaire information to be transmitted to the user searched in this way from the recording unit 53 and supplies it to the communication unit 51.

In step S123, the communication unit 51 transmits the questionnaire information supplied from the questionnaire information management unit 63 to the portable terminal device 14 via the communication network 16.

In step S124, the questionnaire information management unit 63 controls the recording unit 53 to delete the user's personal identification information and the terminal identification information from the questionnaire target person information of the questionnaire information transmitted to the user, so that the questionnaire target person information To update.

Further, when the questionnaire information is transmitted in step S123, in step S112, the communication unit 91 of the portable terminal device 14 receives the questionnaire information transmitted from the data center 12 and supplies it to the control unit 93. The control unit 93 supplies the questionnaire information supplied from the communication unit 91 to the recording unit 95 and records it.

Further, for example, in the application program being executed, the control unit 93 displays that the display unit 94 has new questionnaire information, and when the user instructs the display of the questionnaire information, the instructed questionnaire information is displayed. Will be done.

That is, in step S113, the control unit 93 reads out the questionnaire information instructed by the user from the recording unit 95, supplies the questionnaire information to the display unit 94, and displays the questionnaire information. When the questionnaire information is displayed in this way, the user operates the input unit 92 to answer the questions in the questionnaire. As a result, a signal corresponding to the user's operation is supplied from the input unit 92 to the control unit 93.

In step S114, the control unit 93 generates answer information indicating an answer to the question of the questionnaire based on the signal from the input unit 92, and supplies it to the communication unit 91.

In step S115, the communication unit 91 transmits the response information supplied from the control unit 93 to the data center 12 via the communication network 16, and the questionnaire information acquisition process ends.

When the response information is transmitted in this way, in step S125, the communication unit 51 of the data center 12 receives the response information transmitted from the portable terminal device 14 and supplies it to the control unit 52.

In step S126, the aggregation processing unit 64 performs aggregation processing based on the response information supplied from the communication unit 51, and aggregates the answers to the questionnaire. When the questionnaire aggregation process is performed, the questionnaire information transmission process ends.

More specifically, the timing at which the aggregation process is executed is the timing at which a predetermined period has elapsed from the start of transmission of the questionnaire information to each portable terminal device 14, or from a certain number of portable terminal devices 14. It is said to be the timing when the answer information was obtained.

The aggregation processing unit 64 performs aggregation processing using all of the response information obtained from the plurality of portable terminal devices 14 so far. The result of the aggregation processing thus obtained is transmitted to the input terminal device 15 at an appropriate timing.

As described above, the portable terminal device 14 acquires the questionnaire information from the data center 12 at an appropriate timing, displays the acquired questionnaire information, and generates and transmits the response information. Further, the data center 12 performs a questionnaire aggregation process based on the response information received from the portable terminal device 14. This makes it possible to conduct a questionnaire that has both accuracy and anonymity.

In the questionnaire information acquisition process as well, the timing of displaying the questionnaire information and the timing of generating the response information do not necessarily have to be immediately after receiving the questionnaire information, as in the notification acquisition process described with reference to FIG. .. The questionnaire information may be transmitted in a push format, or the questionnaire information may be transmitted to the member store system 11.

Further, similar to the notification acquisition process described with reference to FIG. 9, when displaying the questionnaire information, the name and the like are displayed in the questionnaire using the personal information recorded in the portable terminal device 14 and the like. You may do it. Further, when the questionnaire information is transmitted or displayed, the questionnaire to be displayed is displayed according to the size of the display screen (display unit) of the portable terminal device 14 for receiving the questionnaire information and the size of the portable terminal device 14 itself. You may change the questionnaire items, such as increasing or decreasing the number of question items.

As described above, according to the information processing system to which this technique is applied, it is possible to realize notifications and questionnaires that have both accuracy and anonymity.

As described above, in the implementation of notifications and questionnaires, the target person information is used in the extraction of the users to be notified and the targets of the questionnaire.

At this time, for example, if the start date and the number of days of taking the drug are recorded as the subject information, it is possible to easily extract the users who are taking the specific drug during a predetermined period. In this case, the condition that the user has taken the specific drug within a predetermined period is the extraction condition indicated by the notification selection information or the questionnaire selection information.

Users who are taking a specific drug during a predetermined period can be extracted by using the dispensing date (dispensing date), prescription delivery date, prescription days, etc. instead of the administration start date and the number of days of administration. ..

Further, for example, when extracting users who have used a predetermined pharmacy or medical institution as a member store system 11 within the past n years, the prescription issuance date, dispensing date, and prescription issuance as target person information are performed. The name of the medical institution or the identification information of the dispensing pharmacy may be used.

In this case, the condition that the user has used a specific facility, that is, a specific pharmacy or medical institution within a predetermined number of years (n years) is an extraction condition indicated by the notification selection information or the questionnaire selection information.

Furthermore, for notification selection information and questionnaire selection information, if the same medicinal ingredient as the specific drug shown in the selection information or the drug with the same medicinal efficacy classification is also targeted, the drug price listing code as the target person information is used. do it. For example, by comparing the first 8 digits of the drug price listing code, it is possible to identify drugs having the same medicinal effect component, and by comparing the first 3 to 4 digits of the drug price listing code, it is possible to identify drugs of the same medicinal effect classification. ..

Further, since the notification selection information and the questionnaire selection information are recorded in the data center 12, the alarm function can be realized by using the selection information. In such a case, it is conceivable that the extraction condition indicated by the notification selection information or the questionnaire selection information is, for example, a user whose predetermined number of days have passed since the start of taking the specific drug.

Thereby, for example, it is possible to realize a process such as transmitting the notification information to the portable terminal device 14 three days after the start of taking the specific drug. In this case, the target person extraction unit 61 starts taking a user who satisfies the extraction condition indicated by the notification selection information based on the notification selection information and the target person information, that is, a specific drug, at a specific timing every day. Search for a user who is 3 days later and send notification information.

In addition, the following examples can be considered as application examples of this technique.

For example, with regard to smoking cessation treatment drugs, it is almost certain that taking medication, that is, unpleasant symptoms (withdrawal symptoms) associated with smoking cessation will occur when smoking cessation is started. Therefore, it is effective to prevent a decrease in the medication rate by sending an appropriate explanation and a message of ingenuity to alleviate the symptoms to the user at the timing of the first week, the second week, etc. after starting the treatment. be.

In the past, it was time-consuming to send individualized guidance to such patients based on personal information, or to hand over a booklet at the time of the first visit. In addition, although it is possible to anonymously transmit the guidance and the like all at once, the guidance may be received to users who do not need it, or the guidance may not be transmitted to each user at an appropriate timing.
On the other hand, in this technique, notification information can be transmitted at an appropriate timing for each user.

Similarly, as a disease or symptom that requires a continuous message, there is diabetes and its reserve metabolic syndrome. In response to these, not only instructions for taking medication, but also the end of treatment (difficulty) when symptoms worsen due to forgetting to take medication, suggestions for exercise other than prescription drugs, receipt of exercise reports, meal records, blood pressure, etc. This technology can be used for efforts including prevention of such metabolic syndrome, such as receiving health care information.

In recent years, mental illnesses (mental illnesses) have been increasing steadily. Those who do not take medicines that act on the central nervous system, such as medicines for these mental illnesses (for example, AD / HD treatment medicines), show remarkable effects to those who work, but not at all to those who do not. May be good.

In order to determine the effect of the drug on mental illness, the medical staff wants feedback from the patient after a certain period of time (for example, the third day after the start of taking the drug). This is because it is desired to determine whether or not to take the remaining medicine of the prescribed medicine at that time (for example, the remaining 4 days of the 7 days of prescription) depending on the presence or absence of the effect.

Even in such a case, if the data closely related to the personal information is used, the questionnaire can be appropriately conducted, but the data management such as the safe management of the data is costly. On the other hand, in the present technology, the target person information managed in the data center 12 is data that is sparsely related to personal information, so feedback from a user who is a patient at a lower management cost is used as response information. Obtainable.

<Second embodiment>
<Information processing system configuration example>
By the way, in the first embodiment, it is assumed that the manager of the input terminal device 15 and the data center 12 are the same. However, by utilizing the fact that this technology enables notifications and questionnaires that are both anonymous and accurate, the notification information and questionnaire information should be submitted by a client different from the administrator of the data center 12. It can also be.

In such a case, the information processing system is configured as shown in FIG. 12, for example. In FIG. 12, the parts corresponding to the case in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

In the example shown in FIG. 12, the administrator terminal device 201 is further connected to the communication network 16 with respect to the configuration of the information processing system shown in FIG.

In this example, the administrator terminal device 201 and the data center 12 are managed by the same administrator (management company), and the input terminal device 15 is managed by a client different from the administrator. Therefore, the administrator terminal device 201 is supplied from the input terminal device 15 to the data center 12, and confirms the contents of the notification information and the questionnaire information for which transmission is requested. Then, after confirmation by the administrator terminal device 201, notification information and questionnaire information are transmitted by the data center 12.

In this case, the data center 12 also records information about the input terminal device 15, that is, the client, in the recording unit 53. For example, as information about the client, the client's name, contact information, the client's organization, and the like are recorded in the recording unit 53. That is, the client is registered in advance in the data center 12. Further, in this case, the administrator terminal device 201 and the data center 12 may be connected to each other via a local network.

The advantage of the information processing system shown in FIG. 12 is that the data center 12 that is the sender of the notification information and the questionnaire information does not have the personal information of the user, so that the personal information of the user who is the recipient of the notification information and the questionnaire information can be obtained. It is guaranteed that it has not been passed to the client. As a result, the psychological hurdle for the recipient to accept the reception of the notification information and the questionnaire information is lowered, and the message that the client wants to send, that is, the notification and the questionnaire can be sent to a wider target group. This is useful as a transmission mechanism for messages related to highly sensitive information such as drug history information.

Therefore, from medical institutions with more specialized information about the situation of the recipient, insurers such as local governments and health insurance associations, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, medical manufacturers, fitness clubs and other clients. , It will be possible to send more suitable notifications and questionnaires to recipients.

<Configuration example of administrator terminal device>
Further, the administrator terminal device 201 shown in FIG. 12 is configured as shown in FIG. 13, for example.

The administrator terminal device 201 has a communication unit 231, an input unit 232, a control unit 233, a display unit 234, and a recording unit 235.

The communication unit 231 communicates with an external device such as a data center 12 via the communication network 16, receives various information and supplies the information to the control unit 233, or transmits the information supplied from the control unit 233. do.

The input unit 232 includes, for example, a mouse, a keyboard, a touch panel superimposed on the display unit 234, and the like, and supplies a signal corresponding to an input operation by the administrator to the control unit 233.

The control unit 233 controls the operation of the entire administrator terminal device 201. For example, the control unit 233 confirms the notification information and the questionnaire information supplied from the communication unit 231, and supplies the confirmation result to the communication unit 231 to transmit.

The display unit 234 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display panel or the like, and displays information supplied from the control unit 233. The recording unit 235 records various information supplied from the control unit 233, and supplies the information to the control unit 233 as needed.

<Explanation of notification request processing, notification target person extraction processing, and notification information confirmation processing>
Subsequently, the operation of the information processing system shown in FIG. 12 will be described.

First, the notification request processing by the input terminal device 15, the notification target person extraction processing by the data center 12, and the notification information confirmation processing by the administrator terminal device 201 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The notification request processing by the input terminal device 15 is performed when the requester requests the data center 12 to transmit the notification information.

In step S151, the control unit 123 accepts the input of the notification information and the notification selection information.

For example, the client operates the input unit 122 to input notification information and notification selection information. Since the input unit 122 outputs a signal corresponding to the operation of the client, the control unit 123 acquires the signal from the input unit 122 and generates the notification information and the notification selection information. The control unit 123 supplies the notification information and the notification selection information thus obtained, and the notification ID generated for the notification information, to the communication unit 121.

In step S152, the communication unit 121 transmits the notification ID, the notification information, and the notification selection information supplied from the control unit 123 to the data center 12 via the communication network 16.

Then, in step S161, the communication unit 51 of the data center 12 receives the notification ID, the notification information, and the notification selection information transmitted from the input terminal device 15 and supplies them to the control unit 52.

When the notification selection information is obtained in this way, the processes of steps S162 and S163 are subsequently performed to extract the user to be notified and to generate the notification target person information. Since the processing of these steps S162 and S163 is the same as the processing of steps S12 and S13 of FIG. 8, the description thereof will be omitted.

When the user to be notified is extracted by step S162, the target person extraction unit 61 supplies the number of extracted users, that is, the total number of extracted users to the communication unit 51.

In step S164, the communication unit 51 transmits the number of users extracted in step S162 supplied from the target person extraction unit 61 to the input terminal device 15.

In step S153, the communication unit 121 of the input terminal device 15 receives the number of users transmitted from the data center 12 and supplies it to the control unit 123. The control unit 123 appropriately supplies the number of received users to the display unit 124 and displays them.

As a result, the client who sees the number of users can know how many users are to be notified of the notification information that is about to be transmitted. If the number of users is not sufficient, the requester may cancel the request for sending the notification information or change the notification selection information.

Here, the case where only the number of users is notified from the data center 12 to the input terminal device 15 has been described as an example, but other than that, it can be obtained from the target person information such as the gender ratio and the age distribution of the extracted users. Information may also be transmitted to the input terminal device 15.

When the number of users is notified, the requester operates the input unit 122 to request the transmission of the notification information. Then, since the signal corresponding to the operation of the client is output from the input unit 122, the control unit 123 generates a notification request to request the transmission of the notification information based on the signal from the input unit 122. , Supply to the communication unit 121. Here, the notification request includes, for example, a notification ID indicating notification information for which transmission is requested.

In step S154, the communication unit 121 transmits the notification request supplied from the control unit 123 to the data center 12 via the communication network 16.

When the notification request is received in this way, the control unit 52 communicates the received notification request with the notification information received in step S161 associated with the notification ID included in the notification request. It is supplied to 51 and is instructed to be transmitted to the administrator terminal device 201. At this time, the notification request appropriately includes the destination information for transmitting the information to the input terminal device 15.

In step S166, the communication unit 51 transmits the notification request and the notification information supplied from the control unit 52 to the administrator terminal device 201 via the communication network 16.

That is, the control unit 52 controls the communication unit 51 to transmit the notification request and the notification information to the administrator terminal device 201, and requests the administrator terminal device 201 to confirm the notification information.

In step S171, the communication unit 231 of the administrator terminal device 201 receives the notification request and the notification information transmitted from the data center 12 and supplies them to the control unit 233.

The control unit 233 appropriately supplies the received notification information to the display unit 234 and displays it in response to the notification request.

In step S172, the control unit 233 confirms the received notification information in response to the request of the data center 12.

That is, when the notification information is displayed on the display unit 234, the administrator confirms the content of the displayed notification information and confirms whether the notification information is appropriate. Then, the administrator operates the input unit 232 to input the confirmation result of the notification information.

Here, whether or not the notification information is appropriate is whether or not the notification information has contents that can be notified to the user without any problem.

Whether the notification information is appropriate or not, that is, whether the notification information can be transmitted to the portable terminal device 14 or the like, based on the signal supplied from the input unit 232 according to the operation of the administrator. Confirm whether or not, and generate information indicating the confirmation result. The control unit 233 supplies the communication unit 231 with the confirmation result of the notification information thus obtained, and more specifically, the information indicating the confirmation result.

Then, in step S155, the communication unit 121 of the input terminal device 15 receives the confirmation result of the notification information transmitted from the administrator terminal device 201 and supplies it to the control unit 123.

In step S156, the control unit 123 supplies the confirmation result of the notification information supplied from the communication unit 121 to the display unit 124 and displays it, and the notification request processing ends.

At this time, the requester may make a final request for transmission of the notification information to the data center 12 after seeing the confirmation result of the displayed notification information.

If the confirmation result displayed in more detail is a result that the notification information is inappropriate, the notification information and the notification selection information are generated again, and the above-mentioned processing is repeated. That is, the notification information and the notification selection information are regenerated until the confirmation result indicating that they are appropriate is obtained.

Further, in the data center 12, in step S167, the communication unit 51 receives the confirmation result of the notification information transmitted from the administrator terminal device 201 and supplies it to the control unit 52.

Then, when the received confirmation result is the confirmation result to the effect that it is appropriate, the notification information management unit 62 of the control unit 52 is notified including the notification ID, the notification information, and the notification selection information received in step S161. Information and the notification target person information generated in step S163 are supplied to the recording unit 53, and recording is instructed. At this time, the notification information management unit 62 processes the notification information as necessary.

In step S168, the recording unit 53 records the information regarding the notification and the notification target person information supplied from the notification information management unit 62, and the notification target person extraction process ends.

As described above, the input terminal device 15 generates the notification information and transmits it to the data center 12.

By generating the notification information by the input terminal device 15 managed by the client different from the administrator of the data center 12 in this way, a wider range of notification can be performed.

Note that the notification information may be generated and confirmed at different timings. That is, for example, after receiving the notification information in step S171, the processes of steps S172 and S173 may be performed at a later date. Similarly, the processing of steps S154 to S156 may be performed not immediately after receiving the number of users in step S153, but may be performed several days later.

Further, in the notification target person extraction process described with reference to FIG. 14, the information input by the individual user as the target person information is the notification target as in the notification target person extraction process described with reference to FIG. It may or may not be used for the extraction of the user. Further, setting information such as opt-in and opt-out input by the individual user may also be used for extracting the user to be notified.

After the notification request processing, the notification target person extraction processing, and the notification information confirmation processing as described above are performed, the notification acquisition processing and the notification information transmission processing described with reference to FIG. 9 are performed at appropriate timings thereafter. That is, the notification information is notified to the user.

<Explanation of questionnaire implementation request processing, questionnaire target person extraction processing, and questionnaire information confirmation processing>
