Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a comprehensive health information management system for exercise and eating and drinking.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Web for providing health information on eating and drinking
As a site, a site in which a total calorie is automatically calculated by selecting one to eat and drink from a main dish, a side dish and the like presented in a photograph image is implemented (hereinafter, Conventional Example 1).
).

[0003] In addition, as a Web site relating to exercise and eating and drinking, if the target for exercise and eating and drinking is set, and the contents of efforts such as the walking amount measured by a pedometer are continuously recorded in a database in the Web site, In some cases, advice according to the content of the approach is notified to the user by e-mail (hereinafter referred to as Conventional Example 2).

[0004] Further, there is provided a system for recording on exercise and eating and drinking with a dedicated terminal. This is because the number of steps is automatically measured by a small dedicated terminal with a built-in pedometer, and when eating and drinking information is input to the terminal, the information is recorded on a small computer through a dedicated adapter and a telephone line, and health information is recorded. This is configured to be fed back to the user by paper (hereinafter referred to as Conventional Example 3).

On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application No. 8-306389 discloses a method of quantitatively measuring the amount of walking using a pedometer or a dedicated terminal with a built-in GPS, and giving specific advice on walking based on the measurement result. (Hereinafter referred to as Conventional Example 4).

Further, Japanese Patent Application No. 9-254527 discloses an invention in which the quantity of food purchased at a retail store is quantitatively grasped through a POS terminal and specific advice on eating and drinking is provided in accordance with the content. (Hereinafter referred to as Conventional Example 5).

[0007]

A service for handling health information related to exercise usually requires continuous measurement of the amount of walking using a pedometer or the like and the recording work thereof, as in the system of the above-mentioned conventional example 2. Have been. Therefore, if the user does not have a willingness to continue, sustainable efforts are difficult.

Further, there is a system in which the measurement of the amount of walking and the recording of the amount of walking are automated by a machine as in the above-mentioned conventional example 3. However, in order to save the data in a database of a computer, the system is connected to a telephone line. It requires a dedicated adapter connected, which places restrictions. In addition, there is no function to measure the time course of exercise during the day. The measurement of the amount of exercise by bicycle is not supported.

[0009] On the other hand, many services that handle health information related to eating and drinking, such as the system of the above-mentioned conventional example 2, are limited to grasping dietary tendencies and can be qualitatively grasped, but many cannot perform quantitative analysis. Although an approach of grasping calorie information by selecting a menu as in Conventional Example 1 has been implemented, there is still a need to access a Web site or the like and input a food or drink content. Similar to the movement-related efforts, continuous efforts by users are essential. In particular, in the case of a healthy person without any abnormal findings, it is usually difficult to take a sustained approach because he is not conscious of his health.

[0010] Further, a service for handling health information usually provides current information and advice based on exercise and meal contents. For example, in the system of Conventional Example 2 described above, advice is notified by e-mail,
Since the content of exercise and dietary grasp is not quantitative, the advice content is only general.

The system of Conventional Example 3 can provide quantitative advice, but because of the provision of paper,
There is no immediacy. For example, it is not possible to take timely advice such as prompting walking on the day following the day on which the amount of exercise is insufficient.

[0012] Further, in the invention of the conventional example 4, since information on eating and drinking is limited to calories only and the state of ingestion is not reflected in a timely manner, it is not possible to give appropriate advice on diet and exercise. ing. Further, the terminal for measuring the amount of walking is a dedicated terminal only for this purpose, and the user always has to carry this terminal.

[0013] The invention of the conventional example 5 is a POS of a store.
It only targets terminals and analyzes the nutritional balance of the purchased foods. At the time of eating out, there is no function of grasping nutrient information corresponding to a menu provided by each restaurant in a register installed in the restaurant or the like to be used. In addition, regarding exercise, the amount of walking is not grasped, so that appropriate advice on exercise, eating and drinking cannot be given.

It is said that lifestyle-related diseases, which are typical examples of modern illness, are caused by lifestyle such as eating and exercise. By managing both calorie intake and consumption balance from the viewpoint of maintaining the balance between calorie intake and consumption rather than one of diet and exercise, it is possible to expect a dramatic contribution to health management. In addition, the mechanism that supports it is the most required.

Therefore, the present invention provides a system for comprehensively managing the information on the amount of exercise and the information on eating and drinking, without requiring the user to have a dedicated terminal device or a troublesome recording operation. It is an object of the present invention to provide a highly convenient health management system that can easily or automatically transmit information to a server, and that provides accurate advice based on the transmitted information by e-mail. .
