2. Description of the Related Art Currently, there are 6.9 million diabetic patients nationwide.
When the reserve army is included, it is said that there are 13.7 million people, and it can be said that diabetes is a national disease. However, the number of patients who are actually receiving treatment is only 2.2 million, and it is said that many people have left the current situation, probably because there are no subjective symptoms.

In order to treat or prevent diabetes, it is necessary to use drugs such as insulin and to carry out a dietary therapy in daily meals in which the calorie intake is restricted while considering the balance of nutrients. It is said that
In order to improve the above situation, in addition to enlightening the necessity of diet therapy, there is a need for a system that can easily provide a menu for each individual who performs diet therapy.

In addition to diabetes, there are many diseases in which the calories and nutrients to be ingested must be controlled. Further, even in cases other than the disease, in order to maintain a healthy proportion, etc. Due to various needs such as the desire to control calories and nutrients ingested by people, there is a need for a system that can create a more easily managed menu with a small financial burden.

[0005]

For this reason, some systems have been proposed to support the preparation of menus with consideration for calories, but all of them require knowledge, skill and patience regarding nutrition management. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to use it continuously, and a simple system that can create a menu considering the balance of nutrients in addition to calories with a small economic burden has not yet been proposed. Not in a situation. Furthermore, the systems proposed hitherto merely stop the preparation of menus, and do not have the function of recording actually eaten meals as data.

On the other hand, even if a menu is prepared in consideration of calories and the like, in order to realize the intake of calories according to the plan at the time of preparation of the menu, the weight of all the ingredients used for cooking when cooking It is necessary to weigh the amount of food, and it is necessary to perform troublesome work in order to continue in daily life.Furthermore, depending on the ingredients such as meat and fish, there are many cases where the caloric value varies widely depending on the place of production or region. Even if cooking is performed while accurate weighing is performed, there is a problem that the caloric value of the cooked food does not match the intended caloric value.

[0007]

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and includes a step of preparing a menu for a predetermined period while making a daily unit calorie determination and making a planned menu. Evaluating and determining the planned menu, changing and modifying the menu for the predetermined period based on the evaluation and determination of the planned menu, and the evaluation,

The processing is performed and the nutrient-specific candidate menu is displayed (step ST41).

FIG. 10 is a flow chart for explaining a processing operation example of the judgment evaluation operation by the menu support system 10 of the present invention, which is different from the calorie and nutrient analysis judgment evaluation operation shown in the flow chart of FIG. In this processing operation, the menu support system 10 reads the planned menu created by the user in the planned menu preparation processing operation from the planned menu file 48. Then, first, the calorie determination process is performed, and the daily or weekly calorie determination process is performed. As the determination result, the comment extraction process is performed from the calorie determination comment file, and the determination result and the comment are displayed (step ST42).

Next, the menu support system 10 performs a nutrient analysis determination process. In this nutrient analysis determination process, the same analysis determination process as the process of FIG. 7 is performed,
As the analysis determination result, a radar chart is displayed based on the nutrient analysis result, and the determination result and the comment are displayed by extracting the comment from the nutrient determination comment file (step ST43). In the display process of the calorie determination result and the nutrient analysis determination result, the calorie and nutrient evaluation is performed, and first, the daily calorie determination result is displayed. In the display of the daily calorie determination result, the calorie determination result for each three meals is displayed, and further, the excess or deficiency for each total day is displayed.

In the nutrient analysis determination process, the nutrient analysis determination result and the comment thereof are displayed, and data is read from the order selection or the nutrient-specific menu file to supplement the lacking nutrient from the nutrient analysis determination result. Menu extraction processing is performed, a supplementary recommended menu for each nutrient is displayed, and order selection is accepted (step ST44). Next, it is checked whether or not the order contents are changed by the above-mentioned order selection (step ST45), and if the order contents are changed, FIG.
On the other hand, when the order contents are not changed, while returning to step ST3 in the flowchart of FIG.

The user sees the result of the judgment evaluation operation by the menu support system 10 described above, and if necessary, creates or modifies the menu again. If the created planned menu is acceptable or the modified planned menu is acceptable, then the process shifts to the ordering processing operation of the item by the planned menu. In this case, when the user completes the creation of the planned menu, the created planned menu is transmitted to the menu support system 10 via the Internet 20 and recorded and stored in the planned menu recording unit 13. The menu support system 10 creates the menu shopping screen shown in FIG. 11 after the completion of the planned menu.
indicate.

The menu shopping screen is for the user to make an order from the planned menu to the menu support system 10, that is, the operator of the menu support system of the present invention. On this menu shopping screen, a menu of suggested meals is displayed in which each menu serving as an order content is displayed.
A temperature zone display field 87 for displaying information about which temperature zone the order menu is delivered to, a delivery date display field 88 for notifying the delivery date, and the menu support system 10 from a user who is a customer. The order acceptance column 89 for confirming whether or not the order has been accepted is displayed.

Further, on the menu shopping screen, a delivery address column 90 is displayed as other display in the lower part,
A column 91 for displaying the total amount of the order and a cancel button 92 for canceling the order as another button
A confirmation button 93 for confirming the order and a return button 94 for returning the display screen to the previous display state are provided. These buttons 92, 93, and 94 are operation buttons for switching screens and inputting an instruction to end processing when the menu support system of the present invention performs an order operation.

When the user checks each menu on the menu shopping screen and if there is no problem with the order details, the ordering work is completed by clicking the confirmation button 93, and the order details are transferred to the menu support system 10 via the Internet. It will be sent to and arranged for delivery of each menu. Further, if the return button 94 is selected, the screen returns to the previous screen, the order form can be selected again for each menu, and the cancel button 92 can be selected to cancel the order.

Here, the case where the ordering work is performed subsequent to the preparation of the planned menu has been described. However, after the planned menu is prepared, the main menu (FIG. 3) can be selected at any time.
By designating the option of “Order from scheduled menu 33”, the menu shopping screen (FIG. 11) can be displayed and the ordering operation for the proposed meal can be performed.

FIG. 12 is a flow chart for explaining the processing operation of order registration of the proposed meal. When this operation is started, the menu support system 10 extracts the suggested meal from the planned menu file (step ST46), then extracts the attributes of the suggested meal from the suggested meal finished product file and the suggested meal half-processed file, and places an order. Display the list (step ST4
7). This completes the order registration process.

When the registration of this order is completed, the process moves to the order content confirmation process. FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining the order content confirmation processing operation. When the order confirmation process is started, the menu support system 10 first performs a shipping calculation process, for example, "300 per unit
If the shipping cost is less than 0 yen, the shipping cost is 300 yen "(step ST51). Next, the consumption tax is calculated based on the calculation of the shipping cost (step ST52), and the entire charge is displayed as a list of order contents together with the contents of the order registration of the proposed meal (step ST52). ST53). The user looks at the displayed order details list and confirms whether or not the order details are acceptable, and corrects or changes any items to be corrected. Therefore, the menu support system 10 checks whether or not the order content is changed (step ST54), and if there is no change, the order content list is displayed again (step ST55),
After that, the order contents are registered (step ST5).
6).

On the other hand, if it is determined in the check process in step ST54 that the order content has been changed, a partial cancellation input of the order content is performed (step ST5).
7), the charge calculation and the consumption tax calculation processing after the cancellation is performed (step ST58). Then, the entire charge including the consumption tax and the order details are displayed as a list of order details (step ST59). Further, the correction input of the delivery date of the ordered product and the division processing of the order contents are performed (step ST60), and it is checked whether or not the division contents of the order contents are input (step ST6).
1). If there is no division, the above step S
The processing moves to T56. If there is a division input, the delivery division processing is performed by changing the delivery date of the ordered product (step ST62), and for the divided portion, for example, "a shipping fee of less than 3000 yen per unit is 300.
Calculation such as "yen" is performed (step ST6).
3). Next, regarding the order details after the division, the order details list is displayed similarly to the order details list in step ST55 (step ST64). Then, the order content registration process is performed (step ST56). After performing these processes, the delivery and fee billing procedures according to the order are performed.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the order content confirmation processing operation by the menu support system 10 of the present invention, which is different from the order content confirmation processing operation described in the flowchart of FIG. In this processing operation, the menu support system 10 first performs registration processing of delivery destination information (step ST65). In this delivery destination information registration processing, the delivery destination address, telephone number, desired delivery date and time are registered and displayed, and a message is displayed to the user as to whether or not there is division of order details. Next, the menu support system 10 checks whether or not there is a division change of the order content (step ST66), and if there is no division change, various calculation processes are performed (step ST67). In this calculation process, for example, a shipping fee calculation process is performed, and a calculation such as "a shipping fee is 300 yen when the cost per unit is less than 3000 yen" and a consumption tax are calculated. On the other hand, if there is a division change in step ST66, the order contents are divided (step ST69).

In the division of the above-mentioned order contents, processing such as product classification and addition of delivery destination for each classification is performed. After the order contents are divided, the process proceeds to various calculation processes in step ST68. After that, for the purpose of reconfirmation, the entire fee is displayed as an order content list together with the content of order registration of the proposed meal (step ST68). The user looks at the displayed order details list and confirms whether or not the order details are acceptable, and corrects or changes any items to be corrected. Therefore, the menu support system 10 checks whether or not the order contents are changed (step ST7).
0) If there is no change, registration processing of order contents is performed (step ST71). On the other hand, if it is determined in the check process in step ST70 that the order contents have been changed, the process returns to step ST3 of the planned menu registration process (FIG. 4) to perform the planned menu creation and registration process. As is apparent from the above-described processing operations from the planned menu registration process to the order content confirmation process and the ordering process, the food items that can be purchased by menu shopping by the menu support system 10 of the present invention are the proposed meal finished product and the recipe. Only the semi-processed foods with the specified number are available. In the case of purchase from general shopping, since the planned menu is not created, it is impossible to make the calorie calculation and nutrient analysis determination by the menu support system 10 of the present invention. Figure 15 shows
It is the figure which showed the classification of the food which can be purchased by the menu shopping in the said invention, and cannot be carried out in a table format.

As is apparent from FIG. 15, if the self-procured food is included in the menu of the menu support system 10 of the present invention, the calorie calculation and the nutrient analysis can be determined by selecting the menu for the planned menu. I can do it.

Therefore, the menu support system 1 of the present invention
In No. 0, as the self-prepared food included in the self-procured food, for example, "rice 1 set", "miso soup 1 bowl", "small bowl of pickled vegetables", "grated radish", etc. is a staple of home cooking and the menu support of the present invention. The menu contains foods that the user can cook relatively economically than those provided by the system 10. By allowing calorie calculation and nutrient analysis determination for these foods, the self-prepared foods can be prepared. It can be used for the convenience of users who incorporate it to make menus.

In addition, in the menu support system 10 of the present invention, as the self-purchased food contained in the self-procured food, for example, a single dish such as "cold tofu (half-chome)" or "aji no maji", fruit or ice cream, Desserts, milk,
Drinks such as juice are included in the menu,
By allowing calorie calculation and nutrient analysis determination for these foods, it is possible to use them for the convenience of users who incorporate their own purchased foods and make menus.

Further, in the menu support system 10 of the present invention, the menu is included so that eating out can be selected as the self-procured food. For example, "Chuka Soba", "Tempura Soba", "Gyudon", etc.
Typical meals such as "katsu-don", "hamburger", and "fried chicken" are included in the menu. By allowing calorie calculation and nutrient analysis of these foods to be judged, self-procured foods It can be used for the convenience of users who incorporate meals and make menus. General shopping for semi-processed food products that do not specify a recipe number is an example where the user himself / herself cooks using carefully selected low-calorie ingredient foods. Specifically, this corresponds to foods such as hamburger patties that use minced meat that does not contain much fat.

Further, according to the menu support system 10 of the present invention, the user can create a performance menu by using the planned menu already created based on the performance menu creating function.

That is, the user connects to the menu support system 10 from the user terminal 30 via the Internet and inputs the membership number and the personal identification number, so that the user terminal can select the option shown in FIG. As one, the main menu that includes "Create achievement menu" is displayed. By inputting the date that needs to be corrected on the main menu and selecting the "Create achievement menu" menu, A performance menu registration screen 95 (FIG. 16) for registering the performance menu on the date is displayed.

On the performance menu registration screen 95, there is provided a date designation column 96 for designating the date of ingesting the meal for which the performance menu is to be prepared, and breakfast is provided as an option of the food category for preparing the performance menu.

There are "Latest weekly menu command ..." and "Previous achievement week menu specification". Next, menu support system 10
Performs the planned menu from the planned menu file and the data of the actual menu time series from the actual menu time series file, and displays the week menu of the actual menu (step ST74). Based on the weekly menu display of this achievement menu, the date of the menu to be corrected is specified (step ST
75), the planned menu on this designated day is fetched from the planned menu file and displayed (step ST76). In addition, the proposed food finished product file, the proposed food semi-processed product file,
Corresponding data is fetched from the proposed food semi-processed product recipe file and the self-purchased food file and the menu correction input is performed (step ST77). Thereafter, the corrected menu display is performed (step ST78), and the performance menu update processing is further performed (step ST79) to end a series of performance menu registration processing operations. Incidentally, step ST78
In the menu display after correction of, if further correction of the menu is required, the process returns to step ST77 to input the correction of the menu.

The actual result menu created by modifying the planned menu is recorded in the actual result recording unit 14. At this time, the menu support system 10 uses the menu evaluation function similar to that described above to determine or evaluate the caloric value and nutrient balance of the created actual menu, and displays the evaluation result on the user terminal. It is also possible to do so.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart for explaining the above-mentioned performance menu determination processing operation. In this operation, first of all, the menu support system 10 takes in the record menu created by the user from the record time series file and starts the record menu determination process (step ST81). Then, first, the calorie determination process is performed (step ST82), and the daily calorie determination process is performed (step ST83). When this daily calorie determination process is performed, the distribution of three meals, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the total excess or deficiency of the day are displayed as the determination result. Next, an extraction process of daily calorie determination comments is performed (step ST84), and as the determination comments, an appropriate comment regarding the distribution of three meals of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and an appropriate excess or deficiency of the daily total is calorie determination comments. It is read from the file and the comment contents are displayed. Next, weekly calorie determination processing is performed (step ST85). When this weekly calorie determination process is performed,
While displaying the determination result, weekly calorie determination comment extraction processing is performed (step ST86), and as the determination comment, an appropriate comment regarding the distribution of menus for one week and the excess or deficiency of the total calories for one week is provided. The comment is read from the weekly calorie determination comment file, and the comment content is displayed on the menu support system 10.

When the determination and the determination comment regarding the calories are made, the nutrient analysis determination process is performed (step ST87). In the nutrient analysis determination process, data is read from the individual nutrient appropriate data file and the nutrient appropriate data is extracted (step ST88). Then, a comparison process between the nutrient analysis determination result and the nutrient suitability data is performed, and a radar chart of the nutrient analysis result is displayed (step ST
89). Further, a comment extraction process is performed based on the result of the comparison process between the nutrient analysis determination result and the nutrient suitability data (step ST90), and an appropriate comment is read from the nutrient analysis determination result comment file as a comment of the nutrient analysis determination result. The comment contents are displayed and displayed on the menu support system 10. Further, data is read from the nutrient-specific menu file, a menu for supplementing the nutrients lacking from the nutrient analysis determination result is extracted, and a nutrient-specific candidate menu is displayed (step ST91).

The achievement menu can be referred to or printed out at any time from the achievement recording unit 14, and the storage period of the achievement menu can be set to a long period such as one year. Then, by adding an auxiliary function that supports the creation of health management notes (miles notes) for each user, it becomes possible to create materials that can be used in consultation with the attending physician and nutritionist.
It can be used for health management in various forms.

FIG. 19 is a flow chart for explaining an example of the determination processing by the menu support system 10 of the present invention, which is different from the performance determination processing operation shown in the flow chart of FIG. In this processing operation, first, the menu support system 10 takes in the result menu created by the user from the result menu time series file and starts the result menu determination process (step ST92). Then, calorie determination and determination result comment extraction processing are performed (step ST9).
3). In this calorie determination processing, such as daily calorie determination processing and weekly calorie determination processing, calorie determination processing for a predetermined period and determination comments corresponding to each determination processing are created and displayed. In the daily calorie determination process, the distribution of three meals of breakfast, lunch and dinner and the total excess or deficiency of the day are displayed as the determination result for the actual result menu for one day. Further, the daily calorie determination comment extraction processing is performed, and as the determination comment, an appropriate comment regarding the distribution of three meals of breakfast, lunch, and dinner and the total excess or deficiency of the day is extracted from the calorie determination comment file. . On the other hand, in the weekly calorie determination process, the determination result is displayed for the performance menu for one week, and
The weekly calorie determination comment is extracted, and as the determination comment, an appropriate comment regarding the distribution of the menu for one week and the excess or deficiency of the total calories for one week is extracted from the calorie determination comment file.

When the judgment and judgment comment regarding the above-mentioned calories are issued, next, nutrient analysis judgment and judgment result comment extraction processing are performed (step ST94). In this nutrient analysis determination processing, data is read from the individual nutrient appropriateness data file and the nutrient appropriateness data extraction processing is performed. Then, the nutrient analysis determination result and the nutrient appropriateness data are compared, and the nutrient analysis determination is performed. Further, a comment extraction process is performed based on the result of the nutrient analysis determination, and a comment appropriate as a comment of the nutrient analysis determination result is extracted from the nutrient analysis determination result comment file.

The present invention is not limited by the matters specifically described in the embodiments of the present invention, and is recorded in, for example, the user data recording unit 11 and used by the user in preparing a planned menu. The target calorie value displayed on the terminal does not necessarily have to be calculated from the user's height, weight, work content, etc.For example, the calorie value instructed by the doctor or the user himself / herself arbitrarily It is possible to use the set calorie value as the target calorie value, and the target calorie value displayed on the user terminal when creating a planned menu is not the target calorie value per day, for example, one week, It is also possible to use the target calorie value per predetermined period as a reference for the user.

Further, as the input method for the planned menu, etc., the procedure for selecting the menu every day has been exemplified.
It is also possible to adopt an input method such as planned menu by other arbitrary procedures such as selecting a menu for each meal category. Furthermore, it is of course possible to select and order general food in parallel with the preparation of the menu using the menu support system.

Further, although the display mode on the user terminal is illustrated by the drawings, these are merely examples, and as means for guiding the user, as long as they do not violate the gist of the present invention.
A display according to any other mode can be adopted.

[0096]

According to the present invention, a planned menu can be created by a menu selection format on the user terminal with reference to the target calorie value, and further, with reference to the evaluation result shown by the menu support system. Since the planned menu can be modified by creating a planned menu according to the selection format on the user terminal, it is possible to easily create a menu for a predetermined period that considers not only the caloric value but also the balance of nutrients. It will be possible.

Further, the menu included in the prepared menu is convenient in that it can be easily ordered online, and at least the prepared meal or semi-processed meal whose calorie value is controlled is provided. Since it is possible to order the menu included in the planned menu in the form of food, it becomes possible to more easily carry out calorie management and nutrient management according to the plan.

When the dietary habits of the user in the actual life differ from the planned menu, the planned menu saved in the planned menu recording section is called up on the user terminal via the Internet and corrected. By configuring so that
Achievements menu can be easily created, and
Since the achievement menu can be stored in the achievement recording unit for a long period of time, an accurate record of eating habits such as a health management note (miles note) can be easily created.
