Subconscious estimation system, subconscious estimation method, and subconscious estimation program

A subconscious mind estimation method implemented by a system which includes:

• an image display unit which displays an image;
• and an operation detection unit which is formed integrally with the image display unit and is able to detect a touch operation of a subject, the method comprising the steps of:
• a first classification destination image display step of displaying M first classification destination images (M is an integer satisfying M≥2, M≤K, and M≤L), which are still images or moving images each including a combination of at least one of characters, a symbol, a numeral, a figure, an object image, a pattern, and a color representing each of K first type concepts (K is an integer satisfying K≥2) and at least one of characters, a symbol, a numeral, a figure, an object image, a pattern, and a color representing each of L second type concepts (L is an integer satisfying L≥2) different from each of the first type concepts;
• a first target image display step of displaying a first target image, which is a still image or a moving image including at least one of characters, a symbol, a numeral, a figure, an object image, a pattern, and a color corresponding to any one of the K first type concepts and the L second type concepts on the image display unit;
• a classification processing step of continuing to display the first target image on the image display unit until detecting that at least both of a touch operation of the subject on the first target image and a touch operation of the subject on one of the first classification destination images are performed via the operation detection unit;
• and
• a subconscious mind estimation step of estimating a subconscious mind of the subject about a tie between the first type concept and the second type concept based on the touch operations of the subject detected by the classification processing step.

A subconscious mind estimation program causing a computer, which includes an image display unit which displays an image and an operation detection unit which is formed integrally with the image display unit and is able to detect a touch operation of a subject, to function as:

• a classification processing unit which displays M first classification destination images (M is an integer satisfying M≥2, M≤K, and M≤L), which are still images or moving images each including a combination of at least one of characters, a symbol, a numeral, a figure, an object image, a pattern, and a color representing each of K first type concepts (K is an integer satisfying K≥2) and at least one of characters, a symbol, a numeral, a figure, an object image, a pattern, and a color representing each of L second type concepts (L is an integer satisfying L≥2) different from each of the first type concepts, and a first target image, which is a still image or a moving image including at least one of characters, a symbol, a numeral, a figure, an object image, a pattern, and a color corresponding to any one of the K first type concepts and the L second type concepts on the image display unit, and then continues to display the first target image on the image display unit until detecting that at least both of a touch operation of the subject on the first target image and a touch operation of the subject on one of the first classification destination images are performed via the operation detection unit;
• and
• a subconscious mind estimation unit which estimates a subconscious mind of the subject about a tie between the first type concept and the second type concept based on the touch operations of the subject detected by the classification processing unit.
