6 is a flowchart illustrating an outline of a process executed by a customer computer 2; FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an initial screen of a touch panel installed for a customer at a sales floor in a store. When the process is started, the customer computer 2 displays an initial screen on the touch panel (step S01), and accepts an operation input (input from the numeric keypad and input of a new key) on the initial screen (step S02).

On the initial screen of the touch panel, a registration number such as "Please enter a registration number from the numeric keypad." And "Please press # at the end." , Please press a new key. "And ten keys" 0 "to" 9 ","#"and" * "and a new key are displayed.

In the case of a customer who has already registered at this store,
As the user's own registration number, the user inputs an ID number from the numeric keypad displayed on the touch panel, and finally inputs "#". In the case of a customer who newly registers for this store, a new key is input.

The computer for a customer 2 executes a step S02.
After the processing of (1), it is sequentially determined whether or not the registration number from the touch panel or the input by the new key is performed (step S03 to step S04). If the registration number is input from the touch panel, step S03 is set to true. On the other hand, when a new key is input from the touch panel while determining, the process proceeds to step S30 after determining step S03 to be false, and then determining step S04 to be true. If there is no input of the registration number and the new key, the customer computer 2 determines that both steps S03 and S04 are false and returns to step S02.

First, a case where a new key is input from the touch panel will be described. In this case, the customer computer 2 proceeds to step S30, searches the customer-specific database, and selects a new ID number (step S3).
0). The selection of a new ID number is performed based on the number of registered customers registered in the customer-specific database, and the number of registered items is increased by one each time a new registration is performed. Next, the customer computer 2 requests input of customer attribute data such as height, weight, sex, and age of the customer (step S3).
1). Note that the customer computer 2 displays, for example, height, weight, gender, and age input items on the initial screen of FIG. 3, and allows the user to input the same using ten keys (see FIG. 3).

The customer computer 2 determines whether or not the height, weight, gender, and age of the customer have been entered. When the customer's attribute data is entered, the entered height, weight, sex, In addition to displaying the age (step S3
2) An ideal weight based on the height of the input customer is determined, and the determined ideal weight is displayed (step S33). The calculation of the ideal weight is obtained based on the BMI (Body Mass Index) method, and uses a calculation formula of ideal weight = (height (meter) squared) × 22 (coefficient). For example, if the height of the input customer is 170 cm, the ideal weight is (1.70 squared) × 22 = 63.58 kg.

Next, the customer computer 2 obtains a difference between the input weight of the customer and the ideal weight, and calculates and displays the degree of obesity (step S33). For example, if the input customer is 170 cm tall and weighs 70 kg, (70−63.58) ÷ 63.58 = + 10.1
0%. Further, for example, when the height of the input customer is 1
If you are 70 cm and weigh 60 kg, (60-6
3.58) ÷ 63.58 = -5.63%. Also,
Examples of indications of obesity are "Your weight is 10.10% higher than your ideal weight" or "Your weight is 5.63% less than your ideal weight."".

Next, the customer computer 2 multiplies the ideal weight by 30 (coefficient) to calculate the calories required for one day, and displays the calculated calories required for one day (step S34). For example, if the ideal weight of the customer is 63.58 kg, it is 63.58 × 30 = 1907.4 kcal.

Next, the customer computer 2 obtains nutrients necessary for one day based on the input gender and age of the customer (step S35). The nutrient is determined based on a nutrient table in which nutrients necessary for one day are stored for each sex and age as shown in FIG. Also,
The nutrient table is set and stored in the memory of the customer computer 2. Next, the customer computer 2 stores the customer's height, weight, gender, age, calories necessary for one day and each nutrient together with the ID number in the customer-specific database (step S36). After completing step S36, the customer computer 2 proceeds to step S36.
01, and the initial screen is displayed on the touch panel.

Next, a case where a registration number is input from the touch panel will be described. When the registration number (ID number) is input to the touch panel, the customer computer 2
Determines that step S03 is true and proceeds to step S05. The customer computer 2 searches the customer-specific database (step S05), and determines whether or not the input registration number matches the registration number registered in the customer-specific database, so that the registration number is correct. It is determined whether or not there is (step S06). If there is no registration number corresponding to the input registration number in the registration numbers registered in the customer-specific database, step S
02, and the input of the registration number is accepted again.

If the entered registration number matches the registration number registered in the customer-specific database, the customer computer 2 determines that the number is correct, and displays a menu selection screen on the touch panel ( Step S0
7) Accept input of item number (step S0)
8).
