The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the control unit acquires data including at least one of the subject's dietary data, the subject's attributes, and the subject's water intake as factor data, and further uses the acquired factor data to perform the prediction process.
  6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the control unit acquires historical information indicating records of autonomic nervous system symptoms previously entered by the subject, and performs the prediction process using the acquired historical information and the time-series data.
  7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 or 6, wherein the control unit displays the results of the prediction process on the subject's terminal device, alongside the changes in the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
  8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the control unit acquires diagnostic information indicating the type of autonomic nervous system symptoms of the subject diagnosed based on the results of the prediction process, and controls the system to notify the subject of the diagnostic result indicated by the acquired diagnostic information, along with the results of the prediction process.
  9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the control unit acquires countermeasure information indicating a preventive method or countermeasure determined based on the result of the prediction process, and performs control to notify the target person of the preventive method or countermeasure indicated in the acquired countermeasure information, along with the result of the prediction process.
  10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the control unit performs control to notify a third party other than the subject of the prediction process based on a request from the subject.
  11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the control unit controls the display of a selection screen on the target person's terminal device for selecting the content to be notified to the third party.
  12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 or 11, wherein the control unit controls the display of a selection screen on the target person's terminal device, allowing the target person to select their preferred method of interaction with the third party.
  13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, A system comprising: a terminal device that acquires data showing the results of the prediction process performed by the information processing device, and displays the results of the prediction process to the subject in conjunction with the changes in the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
  14. A terminal device equipped with the functions of the information processing device described in claim 1.

Description

This disclosure relates to information processing equipment, systems, and terminal devices. Patent Document 1 discloses an autonomic nervous system regulator and a food composition for regulating the autonomic nervous system, as well as a method for regulating the autonomic nervous system, all of which have the effect of regulating autonomic nervous system function. International Publication No. 2018/174294 This figure shows the configuration of a system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.This is a block diagram showing the configuration of an information processing device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.This is a block diagram showing the configuration of a terminal device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.This is a flowchart showing the operation of an information processing device according to one embodiment of this disclosure.This figure shows an example of a screen displayed on a subject's terminal device according to one embodiment of this disclosure.This figure shows an example of a screen displayed on a subject's terminal device according to one embodiment of this disclosure.This figure shows an example of a screen displayed on a subject's terminal device according to one embodiment of this disclosure.This figure shows an example of a screen displayed on a subject's terminal device according to one embodiment of this disclosure.This figure shows an example of a screen displayed on a subject's terminal device according to one embodiment of this disclosure.This figure shows an example of a screen displayed on a subject's terminal device according to one embodiment of this disclosure.This figure shows an example of a screen displayed on a third-party terminal device according to one embodiment of this disclosure.

The outline of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 1. The autonomic nervous system is the nervous system that regulates specific processes in the body, such as blood pressure and respiratory rate. The autonomic nervous system functions automatically (autonomously) without requiring conscious effort. It consists of the "sympathetic nervous system," which acts as an accelerator during activity, and the "parasympathetic nervous system," which acts as a brake during rest or relaxation. The sympathetic nervous system works to tense the body, while the parasympathetic nervous system works to relax it. Basically, all organs are controlled by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, and the body is regulated by the alternating action of these two systems. In other words, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems have opposite functions, yet they balance each other to govern bodily functions. In humans, the sympathetic nervous system is dominant during the day, for example, during work, exercise, and other activities. On the other hand, the parasympath
