What changed

This document is a publication of a European patent application (EP4712012A1) by Exevita, Inc., detailing an information processing device, method, and recording medium. The core innovation described is a system designed to identify and present a user's 'keystone habit' by analyzing patterns of actions stored in an action management unit. It determines action sets based on temporal continuity and identifies an initial action as the starting point for the keystone habit.

As this is a patent publication, it does not impose direct regulatory obligations or compliance deadlines on regulated entities. However, companies operating in the technology and data processing sectors, particularly those developing user behavior analysis tools or habit-forming applications, should be aware of this patent's claims. It may impact future product development and intellectual property strategies related to user action tracking and habit identification.

Abstract

Conventional techniques have not been able to present a user's keystone habit. The user's keystone habit can be presented by using an information processing apparatus including: a set determination unit configured to reference an action management unit in which pieces of action information specifying a user's actions are stored in association with four or more time slots, to acquire the number of occurrences of an action set that is a series of two or more pieces of action information that are temporally continuous, and to determine an action set whose number of occurrences satisfies a set condition on the number of occurrences of the action set; a keystone habit acquisition unit configured to acquire keystone habit information including a piece of action information that corresponds to an initial time slot among the series of two or more pieces of action information in the action set determined by the set determination unit and serves as a starting point; and a keystone habit output unit configured to output the keystone habit information.
