Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention according to this disclosure (also referred to as the present invention) will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the drawings are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to those shown in the drawings. For example, the illustrated servers, information processing terminals, number of users, etc., data sets (tables), sequence diagrams, and display screens are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to these.

<System Configuration>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The information processing system 600 is a system that supports the recording of the actions of a user, who is, for example, a player, during a game, and provides the user with action information regarding the recorded actions as stats. Note that stats are statistical information regarding the play content of a player, and may be numerical representations of the player's actions. The information accumulated as stats varies depending on the sport or competition, and includes, for example, the number of shots, the number of assists, the number of steals, etc. in basketball, the batting average, the defensive average, etc. in baseball, and the distance traveled, the number of passes, etc. in soccer. The stats allow the player's performance in a game, the growth rate over a specified period, etc. to be understood. Note that stats include those recorded for individual players and those recorded for the entire team. In the following, basketball will be described as an example of a competition, but the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to any competition in which stats are accumulated.

The information processing system 600 includes an information processing terminal (athlete terminal) 200P used by a user as an athlete, an information processing terminal (recording terminal) 200S used by a recording user (scorer) who records the actions of each athlete during a competition, and a server 100. Here, the athlete terminal 200P corresponds to a storage terminal that accumulates the action information recorded by the recording terminal 200S. Note that, although the athlete terminal 200P and the recording terminal 200S are shown separately in FIG. 1, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the information processing terminal can operate as either an athlete terminal or a recording terminal. That is, the athlete terminal 200P of a certain athlete can function as a recording terminal 200S that records the actions of the athlete himself and other athletes during a competition. Therefore, hereafter, when there is no need to particularly distinguish between the athlete terminal 200P and the recording terminal 200S, they may be simply described as "information processing terminal 200". Although FIG. 1 shows two athlete terminals 200P and one recording terminal 200S, there may be more of each terminal. Also, from here on, information about the actions of athletes during a competition (action information) may be simply referred to as the athletes' stats.

An application for recording and viewing player stats (hereinafter also referred to as the "stats app") is installed on the information processing terminal 200. The stats app enables the information processing terminal 200 to record player and team stats, exchange recorded stats between information processing terminals 200, display stats, etc.

Note that in FIG. 1, a smartphone is shown as the athlete terminal 200P and a tablet device is shown as the recording terminal 200S, but the athlete terminal 200P and the recording terminal 200S may be any type of information processing terminal capable of implementing the functions described below.

The server 100 is connected to the player terminal 200P and the recording terminal 200S via the network 500. The server 100 has a function of generating and providing identification information (ID: IDentifier) that uniquely identifies each player and team in response to a request from the player terminal 200P and the recording terminal 200S. Although details will be described later, in one embodiment of the present invention, the server 100 only issues identification information that is unique for each player and each team, and is not able to retain information regarding the subject to which the identification information is assigned.

The server 100 may be, for example, a distributed server system that cooperates by communicating over a network, or may be a so-called cloud server. That is, the server 100 is not limited to a physical server, but may also include a virtual server created by software. The server 100 may be any device that is an information processing device that can realize the functions described in each embodiment, and may include, for example, a server device, a computer (for example, but not limited to, a desktop, laptop, tablet, etc.), a communication platform, etc.

The network 500 includes a wireless network and a wired network. Specifically, for example, the network 500 may be a wireless LAN (WLAN), a wide area network (WAN), code division multiple access (CDMA), long term evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced, fourth generation communication (4G), fifth generation communication (5G), sixth generation communication (Beyond 5G, 6G) and later mobile communication systems. Note that the network 500 is not limited to these examples, and may be, for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark), optical fiber lines, etc. The network 500 may also be a combination of these.

<Information processing terminal>
Next, the hardware configuration and the functional configuration of the information processing terminal 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

(1) Hardware Configuration of Information Processing Terminal The information processing terminal 200 may include a control unit 210, a communication unit 220, a display unit 230, an input/output unit 240, and a storage unit 270.

The control unit 210 is typically a processor, and may include a central processing unit (CPU), a micro processing unit (MPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), a microprocessor, a processor core, a field programmable gate array (FPGA), etc., and may be realized by a logic circuit (hardware) formed in an integrated circuit (IC (Integrated Circuit) chip, LSI (Large Scale Integration)), etc., or a dedicated circuit. The control unit 210 may execute the functions and methods shown in each embodiment by reading a program stored in the memory unit 270 and executing code or instructions included in the read program.

The storage unit 270 stores various programs and data required for the information processing terminal 200 to operate. That is, the storage unit 270 may store a program related to a stats app. The storage unit 270 may include, for example, a flash memory or a memory (RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), etc.) that provides a working area for the control unit 210. The storage unit 270 includes a user information storage unit 271 and a behavioral information accumulation unit 272. The user information storage unit 271 stores user information of a user who uses the information processing terminal 200. The user information may include, for example, personal information such as the user's name, date of birth, and gender, as well as the team to which the user belongs and identification information for the team (such as a uniform number or nickname). The user information may also include user identification information that uniquely identifies the user. Here, the user identification information may consist of, for example, alphanumeric characters that are generated by the server 100 and transmitted to the information processing terminal 200. However, the user identification information may be in any format as long as it is information that is not duplicated between users. The behavioral information accumulation unit 272 accumulates and stores behavioral information (stats) related to behavior during a competition that is associated with the user identification information of the user of the information processing terminal 200. Note that the storage unit 270 may temporarily store the recorded stats when the information processing terminal 200 operates as the recording terminal 200S.

The communication unit 220 may be implemented as hardware such as a network adapter, communication software, or a combination of these. The communication unit 220 may transmit and receive various data to and from the server 100 via the network 500 using any communication protocol. Note that when the communication unit 220 is configured as a physically structured circuit, it may be referred to as a communication circuit.

The display unit 230 is a monitor that displays data according to the display data written to the frame buffer, and may be, for example, a touch panel or a touch display. The display unit 230 displays various screens and information in the stats app under the control of the control unit 210.

The input/output unit 240 may include an input device for inputting various operations to the information processing terminal 200, and an output device for outputting the processing results processed by the information processing terminal 200. The input device may include, for example, a touch panel, a touch display, a camera, and a microphone. The output device may output the processing results processed by the control unit 210. The output device may include, for example, a touch panel, a speaker, etc. The input/output unit 240 accepts input operations by the user of the information processing terminal 200, records stats, reads user information, and outputs stats to other information processing terminals 200.

(2) Functional configuration of the information processing terminal The information processing terminal 200 includes a user identification information request unit 211, a user information sharing unit 212, a behavioral information acquisition unit 213, and a selection unit 214 as functions for implementing the player terminal 200P by the control unit 210. The information processing terminal 200 also includes a user information acquisition unit 215, a behavioral information recording unit 216, a behavioral information sharing unit 217, a generation unit 218, and a team registration unit 219 as functions for implementing the recording terminal 200S. The control unit 210 may also include a determination unit 250. Note that each of the functional units shown in FIG. 2 is not essential, and in each embodiment described hereinafter, non-essential functional units may be omitted. Furthermore, the functions or processes of each functional unit may be implemented by machine learning (ML) or artificial intelligence (AI) to the extent that they are feasible.

The details will be described later, but the processing of each functional unit will be briefly described. First, a case where the information processing terminal 200 operates as the athlete terminal 200P will be described. The user identification information request unit 211 requests the server 100 to issue user identification information and acquires the user identification information. The user information sharing unit 212 shares user information including the user identification information with the recording terminal 200S. Note that sharing may mean passing user information to another information processing terminal by some kind of processing. The behavior information acquisition unit 213 acquires behavior information of multiple users recorded in the recording terminal 200S. The selection unit 214 allows the user to select whether or not to store behavior information associated with temporary identification information different from the user's user identification information in the recording terminal 200S. Note that temporary identification information will be described later.

Next, a case where the information processing terminal 200 operates as the recording terminal 200S will be described. The user information acquisition unit 215 acquires user information including the user identification information of the target user from the information processing terminal of the target user who is the target of recording the behavior during the competition. The behavior information recording unit 216 records the behavior information of the target user in association with the user identification information of the target user in response to an input operation by the recording user. The behavior information sharing unit 217 shares the behavior information of the target user with the information processing terminal of the target user. The team registration unit 219 associates the user identification information of multiple target users who form a team with unique team identification information received from the server 100. The generation unit 218 generates provisional identification information including the characteristics of the non-acquired users for non-acquired users who are target users whose user identification information cannot be acquired among the target users who form a team.

Hereinafter, detailed explanations of each functional unit of the information processing terminal 200 will be given for each embodiment with reference to figures. Prior to the explanations, an overview of a stats app that can be executed on the information processing terminal 200 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be given.

The stats app may be able to record the actions of players during a competition in real time according to input operations by the recording user. The stats app allows the user to select from three modes for recording: "individual player," "team," and "match." These modes differ in the types of stats that can be recorded, but since all modes record some kind of stats for players, no distinction will be made hereafter and explanations will only be given when necessary.

First Embodiment
In the first embodiment, the user's behavior information is recorded on the user's own information processing terminal. This will be explained using Figures 3 to 6. Figure 3 is a sequence diagram between the player terminal 200P and the server 100 according to the first embodiment, Figures 4 and 5 are examples of the display screen of the player terminal 200P, and Figure 6 is an example of the stored stats.

When starting to use the stats app on the player's terminal 200P, the control unit 210 displays a user information registration screen D10 on the display unit 230 as shown in FIG. 4(a). Note that the figure is an example, and the registration screen is not limited to this. When the user inputs each item on the registration screen D10 and selects the "Register" button, the user identification information request unit 211 requests the server 100 to issue user identification information (step S10 in FIG. 3). The server 100 generates user identification information (step S11) and transmits it to the player's terminal 200P (step S12). Note that, in response to the request to generate user identification information, the server 100 only generates and transmits an identification number that does not overlap with other users, and does not acquire user information of the transmission destination. The user information storage unit 271 of the player's terminal 200P stores user information including the user identification information acquired from the server 100 (step S13). Note that the screen D11 in FIG. 4(b) will be described later.

The behavioral information recording unit 216 records the user's behavior during the competition (step S14). In the first embodiment, the user's behavior during the competition may be recorded by another user (e.g., another player on the team, a related person, etc.) who is different from the user and operates the player terminal 200P as a recording user. FIG. 5(a) is an example of an input screen for behavior during the competition displayed on the display unit 230 by the behavioral information recording unit 216. The recording user selects a button such as a successful shot, a failure, or a rebound on the input screen D20 according to the user's behavior. The behavioral information recording unit 216 associates the behavior corresponding to the selected button with the elapsed time when the button was selected and records it in the player terminal 200P. In the first embodiment, the recorded behavioral information may be stored in the behavioral information accumulation unit 272 (step S15). After the recording is completed, the stats may be corrected according to the user's operation as necessary. In addition, a calculation unit (not shown) of the information processing terminal 200 may calculate various stats such as a shooting success rate and an average number of rebounds based on the stored behavioral information.

Figure 6 is an example of a behavioral information table stored in the behavioral information accumulation unit 272. The behavioral information table TB10 may store each item of stats in association with user identification information. The user's stats may be displayed in a list, for example, as shown in screen D21 of Figure 5 (b). Note that the figure is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the stats may be displayed as a graph such as a line graph, bar graph, or pie chart, or may be displayed in table format.

Second Embodiment
In the second embodiment, the behavioral information of the target user is recorded by the recording terminal 200S of the recording user, and the behavioral information is shared from the recording terminal 200S to the athlete terminal 200P of the target user. This will be explained using Figures 4, 7 and 8. Figure 7 is a sequence diagram between the athlete terminal 200P, the recording terminal 200S and the server 100 according to the second embodiment, and Figures 4 and 8 are examples of the display screen of the athlete terminal 200P.

In the sequence of FIG. 7, steps P10 to P13 are the same as steps S10 to S13 in the sequence of the first embodiment (FIG. 3), so a description thereof will be omitted. The user information sharing unit 212 of the player terminal 200P shares the user information stored in the player terminal 200P with the recording terminal 200S (step P14). In one embodiment of the present invention, the sharing of user information may be performed using two-dimensional identification information (QR code: registered trademark) including the user information. As shown in FIG. 4(b), the user information sharing unit 212 may generate a two-dimensional code 12 related to the user information and display it on the display unit 230. The two-dimensional code 12 includes the user identification information acquired by the player terminal 200P from the server 100. The recording terminal 200S acquires user information including the user identification information of the target user by reading the two-dimensional code 12 displayed on the player terminal 200P with the input/output unit (camera) 240 (step P15). Various methods may be used to read the two-dimensional code. For example, the two-dimensional code 12 may be attached as an image to an email and sent from the athlete terminal 200P to the recording terminal 200S.

The behavioral information recording unit 216 of the recording terminal 200S records the behavioral information of the target user in association with the user identification information of the target user in response to an input operation by the recording user (step P16). Note that the recording of the behavior may be performed using the input screen D20 of FIG. 5(a) or the like, similar to step S14 of FIG. 3.

After the recording is completed, the behavioral information sharing unit 217 of the recording terminal 200S shares the behavioral information, which has been appropriately corrected, with the athlete terminal 200P (step P17). In one embodiment of the present invention, the sharing of behavioral information may be performed using, for example, two-dimensional identification information including the user identification information of the target user. The behavioral information sharing unit 217 of the recording terminal 200S may generate a two-dimensional code 31 as shown in FIG. 8 and display it on the display unit 230. The behavioral information acquisition unit 213 of the athlete terminal 200P acquires the behavioral information contained in the two-dimensional code 31 read by the input/output unit (camera) 240 (step P18). Various methods may be used to read the two-dimensional code. For example, the two-dimensional code 12 may be attached to an email as an image and sent from the recording terminal 200S to the athlete terminal 200P. The behavioral information storage unit 272 of the player terminal 200P stores the behavioral information associated with the user identification information of the user of the player terminal 200P (i.e., the user identification information stored in the user information storage unit 271) in the player terminal 200P (step P19).

Thus, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the user identification information generated by the server 100 is shared locally between the athlete terminal 200P and the recording terminal 200S, and the recording terminal 200S stores stats in association with each user identification information. Even if the recording terminal 200S shares stats for multiple users, the athlete terminal 200P extracts and accumulates stats associated with the user identification information stored in its own terminal. This makes it possible to accumulate stats without sharing personal information with a server or the like.

Third Embodiment
In the third embodiment, the recording terminal 200S records the stats of players on a team basis, but a case will be described in which a player whose user information is unknown is included when a team is registered on the recording terminal 200S. The user information being unknown corresponds to, for example, a case in which the registration process by the player has not been completed before the team registration operation on the recording terminal 200S, or a case in which the registration process has been completed but the two-dimensional code could not be shared with the recording terminal 200S.

Figure 9 is a sequence diagram between the player terminals 200P, 201P, the recording terminal 200S, and the server 100 according to the third embodiment. Here, the player terminal 201P is an information processing terminal of a user whose user information cannot be acquired when registering a team on the recording terminal 200S. Note that, for ease of explanation, one player terminal 200P, one 201P is shown in Figure 9. However, there may be as many player terminals 200P, 201P as there are players forming a team.

As shown in FIG. 9, the recording terminal 200S receives user information shared from the player terminals 200P that form the team (step T14) and acquires the user information of each player (step T15). Here, it is assumed that prior to sharing the user information, the player terminal 200P has completed the processes described in steps S10 to S13 of the first embodiment (FIG. 3) (the process of acquiring user identification information). Note that the sharing of user information by the player terminal 200P may be similar to step P14 of the second embodiment (FIG. 7).

Figures 10(a) to (c) are examples of display screens of the recording terminal 200S in the third embodiment. Figure 10(a) is an example of a screen for reading user information of a user to be registered in a team, and the user information of each player may be obtained by reading the two-dimensional code 12 of Figure 4(b) displayed on the player terminal 200P of each user with the reading screen D40. If there is an unacquired user (player terminal 201P) whose user information cannot be acquired when forming a team, the recording user may select "member without QR code" on the reading screen D40. If "member without QR code" is selected, the display unit 230 of the recording terminal 200S may transition to a provisional registration screen not shown. The recording user can input information indicating the characteristics of the unacquired user, such as the uniform number and nickname of the unacquired user, on the provisional registration screen. The generation unit 119 of the recording terminal 200S may generate provisional identification information based on the information input by the recording user (step T16). The provisional identification information may be the uniform number or nickname itself, or alphanumeric characters generated from text information entered by the recording user. As shown in screen D41 in FIG. 10(b), the display unit 230 of the recording terminal 200S displays the uniform number, user name, etc. based on the acquired user information of each player. In addition, for players for whom user identification information has not been acquired (player Q in the illustrated example), the fact that user identification information has not been acquired may be displayed to distinguish this. In the illustrated example, the character string "unregistered" is displayed.

Next, the team registration unit 219 of the recording terminal 200S performs a team registration process (step T17). FIG. 11 shows an example of a sequence diagram of the team registration process. In response to the recording user selecting, for example, a "Next" button on the screen D41 of FIG. 10(b), the team registration unit 219 of the recording terminal 200S may request the server 100 to issue team identification information that uniquely identifies the team (step S31 of FIG. 11). The server 100 generates the team identification information (step S32) and transmits it to the recording terminal 200S (step S33). Note that, in response to the request to generate the team identification information, the server 100 only generates and transmits an identification number that does not overlap with other teams, and does not acquire information about the team to which it is transmitted. The recording terminal 200S registers the team by associating and storing the user information of the user to be registered in the team with the team identification information acquired from the server 100 (step S34). The team registration unit 219 may generate a two-dimensional code including team information, as shown on screen D42 in FIG. 10(c), so that the team information can be shared with other information processing terminals.

In this way, according to one embodiment of the present invention, identification information is generated for each team and team stats are recorded and accumulated, making it possible to check team stats and continuously analyze performance and strength.

Then, the recording terminal 200S records the stats of each player (step T18 in FIG. 9), and the behavioral information may be shared (step T19). Note that the recording and sharing of stats is similar to steps P15 to P17 in FIG. 7 and the two-dimensional code 31 in FIG. 8, and therefore will not be described here.

Figure 12(a) is an example of the display screen of the player terminal 200P, 201P when acquiring match data. The player terminal 200P, 201P may acquire stats by reading the two-dimensional code including the stats recorded by the recording terminal 200S in Figure 8 on the reading screen D50 in Figure 12(a) (steps T20, T23 in Figure 9). Note that in the third embodiment, the two-dimensional code in Figure 8 may include the stats of each player belonging to the team and information recorded as team stats.

According to the third embodiment, after the stats of the match are acquired, the processes executed by the player terminals 200P and 201P are different. First, the player terminal 200P that acquired user information when the team was registered in the recording terminal 200S will be described. For the sake of explanation, the player terminal 200P is the information processing terminal of player A, and the behavioral information acquisition unit 213 may extract behavioral information associated with the user identification information of player A from the behavioral information acquired from the recording terminal 200S in step T20 and store it in the player terminal (step T21 in FIG. 9). FIG. 12(b) is an example of a screen of the player terminal 200P, and as shown in screen D51, it may display that the stats of player A have been acquired. In addition, in the information processing terminal 200 of player A, the behavioral information acquisition unit 213 may display the team's stats based on the behavioral information acquired from the recording terminal 200S.

Next, the player terminal 201P whose user information was not acquired at the time of team registration in the recording terminal 200S will be described. For the sake of explanation, it is assumed here that the player terminal 201P is the information processing terminal of the player Q. The behavioral information acquisition unit 213 acquires behavioral information from the recording terminal 200S (step T23 in FIG. 9). When the behavioral information acquired from the recording terminal 200S does not include the user identification information of the own terminal, or when the user identification information is not stored in the own terminal, the selection unit 214 allows the user to select whether or not to store the behavioral information associated with the provisional identification information in the own terminal (step T24 in FIG. 9). FIG. 12(c) shows an example of a selection screen that accepts the user's selection. The selection unit 214 may display at least one of the provisional identification information, the uniform number and the user name, on the display unit 230, and allow the user to select whether or not to store the stats. When the selection is accepted in step T24, the determination unit 205 determines whether or not the user identification information is stored in the own terminal (step T25 in FIG. 9). If the user identification information is stored (YES in step T25), the behavior information acquisition unit 213 acquires the stats associated with the provisional identification information received by the selection unit 214, and stores them in association with the user identification information stored in the terminal (step T27). If the user identification information is not stored in the terminal (NO in step T25), a user registration process may be executed (step T26). The user registration process corresponds to the processes of steps S10 to S13 in FIG. 1. Thereafter, the behavior information acquisition unit 213 acquires the stats associated with the provisional identification information received by the selection unit 214, and stores them in association with the user identification information acquired from the server 100 (step T27). Note that if the user does not select to store the stats in step T24, the process may end as it is.

In this way, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the recording terminal 200S can provide stats to users who have not been able to obtain user identification information before recording stats, or to users whose user information has not been registered in the stats app.

Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, even if user stats are recorded on a team basis, stats for each individual user included in the team can be provided to the user.

Although the present invention has been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that a person skilled in the art would easily be able to make various modifications and corrections based on this disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and corrections are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each component, step, etc. can be rearranged so as not to cause logical inconsistencies, and multiple components, steps, etc. can be combined into one or divided. In addition, the configurations shown in the above embodiments may be combined as appropriate.

For example, in the first embodiment, a mode has been described in which the stats of player A are recorded on the player terminal 200P of the target user (here, "player A") who is the subject of recording. Here, it should be noted that in player A's player terminal 200P, stats of not only player A but also player B may be recorded, and in this case, player A's player terminal 200P becomes the recording terminal 200S for player B. Also, in this case, player A's stats are stored in player A's player terminal 200P as described in the first embodiment, but player B's stats may be shared from player A's player terminal 200P to player B's player terminal 200P as described in the second embodiment.

In addition, when stats of a team including player A are recorded on player A's player terminal 200P, in addition to player A's stats, the stats of the entire team to which player A belongs may be viewable on player A's player terminal 200P.

Furthermore, in the above description, the information processing terminal 200 is described as being capable of operating as both the recording terminal 200S and the athlete terminal 200P, but it may be possible to select to operate as only one of them. In other words, for stats, there may be an information processing terminal dedicated to recording and an information processing terminal dedicated to storing and viewing.

Also, in the above, a description has been given of a mode in which temporary identification information is issued to players whose user identification information is unknown when recording stats on a team basis. However, temporary identification information may also be issued when recording stats on a player basis. For example, if the user identification information of player A cannot be obtained before recording the stats of player A, the stats may be recorded in temporary association with the temporary identification information.

Also, in the above description, a two-dimensional code is used to share stats and user information. However, stats may also be shared using CSV data, text data, etc.

The programs of each embodiment of the present disclosure may be provided in a state stored in a storage medium readable by an information processing device. The storage medium can store the programs in a "non-transient tangible medium." The programs include, for example, software programs and control programs. When each functional unit of the information processing terminal 200 is realized by software, the information processing terminal 200 functions as a user information sharing unit 212, a behavioral information acquisition unit 213, a selection unit 214, a user identification information request unit 211, a user information acquisition unit 215, a behavioral information recording unit 216, a behavioral information sharing unit 217, and a team registration unit 219 by the processor executing the programs loaded on the memory.

The storage medium may, where appropriate, include one or more semiconductor-based or other integrated circuits (ICs) (e.g., field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), application specific ICs (ASICs), etc.), hard disk drives (HDDs), hybrid hard drives (HHDs), optical disks, optical disk drives (ODDs), magneto-optical disks, magneto-optical drives, floppy diskettes, floppy disk drives (FDDs), magnetic tapes, solid state drives (SSDs), RAM drives, secure digital cards or drives, any other suitable storage media, or any suitable combination of two or more of these. The storage medium may, where appropriate, be volatile, non-volatile, or a combination of volatile and non-volatile.

The program of the present disclosure may also be provided to the information processing terminal 200 via any transmission medium capable of transmitting the program (such as a communication network or broadcast waves).

Furthermore, each embodiment of the present disclosure may be realized in the form of a data signal embedded in a carrier wave, in which the program is embodied by electronic transmission. The program of the present disclosure may be implemented using, for example, a scripting language such as JavaScript (registered trademark) or Python, C language, Go language, Swift, Koltin, Java (registered trademark), etc.

According to each aspect of the present disclosure described above, by providing a method for continuously accumulating one's own statistics throughout one's lifetime, it is possible to contribute to the achievement of Goal 11 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), "Sustainable cities and communities."
