1. A comfort-analyzing device configured to analyze comfort, of a user, the comfort-analyzing device comprising:
input circuitry configured to accept a plurality of inputs from the user, at each of a plurality of different time points, of a current comfort level of the user, and separately sensory information representing sensation of the user associated with the input current comfort level of the user and information representing an environmental factor that caused the input of the current comfort level of the user from the user; and
cognitive-structure constructing circuitry configured to construct a cognitive-structure model regarding the comfort of the user by extracting the input current comfort level, the sensory information, and the information representing the environmental factor, in chronological order,
wherein the cognitive-structure constructing circuitry is configured to construct the constructed cognitive model such that the input current comfort level is placed at an upper level, the sensory information is placed at a middle level, and the information representing the environmental factor is placed at a lower level, and
wherein the input circuitry is configured to accept as one of the inputs from the user a reply, inputted after the input of the current comfort level, the sensory information, and the information representing the environmental factor, that links the environmental factor with the input current comfort level of the user.
