Then, the control unit 15 controls to transmit body composition data including the calculated data and the weight of the user to the intermediate communication medium 30 (a2 in FIG. 2). When receiving the user's body composition data from the body composition meter 10, the control unit 37 of the intermediate communication medium 30 performs control so that the received body composition data and the received time are associated and written to the memory 35. As described above, whenever the user uses the body composition meter 10, the memory 35 of the intermediate communication medium 30 is associated with the body composition data of the user and the time when the body composition data is received. Data (hereinafter referred to as “body composition meter measurement data”) is written and accumulated.

<A-4: Usage of activity meter>
Next, how to use the activity meter 20 will be described. First, the initial setting of the activity meter 20 will be described. In the present embodiment, when the activity meter 20 is initially set, it is assumed that the body composition meter measurement data is stored in the memory 35 of the intermediate communication medium 30. FIG. 3 is a chart for explaining an initial setting method of the activity meter 20. As shown in FIG. 3, first, the user presses the start switch 24 of the activity meter 20. When the control unit 26 of the activity meter 20 detects that the start switch 24 has been pressed by the user, the control unit 26 supplies power from the power source (not shown) of the activity meter 20 to each part of the electrical system of the activity meter 20. Control. As a result, the transmission / reception unit 25 becomes operable (active state).

  Subsequently, the user brings the intermediate communication medium 30 close to the activity meter 20 and presses the second communication switch 33 of the intermediate communication medium 30. When the control unit 37 of the intermediate communication medium 30 detects that the second communication switch 33 is pressed by the user, the control unit 37 stores the latest body composition data stored in the memory 35 and time information indicating the current time of the timer 34. It controls to transmit to the active mass meter 20 (b1 of FIG. 3).

  When receiving the latest body composition data and time information, the control unit 26 of the active mass meter 20 controls to write the received latest body composition meter data into the memory 23, and based on the received time information, Is set in the timer 22. Thereby, the initial setting of the activity meter 20 is completed. Thereafter, the activity meter 20 is used by being worn by the user. The control unit 26 of the activity meter 20 calculates the calorie consumption of the user based on the acceleration measured by the acceleration sensor 21 and the latest weight data of the user stored in the memory 23. Then, the control unit 26 of the activity meter 20 stores measurement data (hereinafter referred to as “activity meter measurement data”) that associates the calculated calorie consumption with the time when the calorie consumption is calculated. Control to write to. In this way, activity meter measurement data is sequentially written and accumulated in the memory 23 of the activity meter 20.

  Next, a method for transmitting activity meter measurement data stored in the memory 23 of the activity meter 20 to the intermediate communication medium 30 and a method for updating body composition data stored in the memory 23 of the activity meter 20 explain. FIG. 4 is a chart for explaining these methods. As shown in FIG. 4, when the activity meter 20 is in an active state, the user first brings the intermediate communication medium 30 close to the activity meter 20 and presses the second communication switch 33. When the control unit 36 of the intermediate communication medium 30 detects that the second communication switch 33 has been pressed by the user, the latest body composition meter data and time information stored in the memory 35, as in the initial setting, Is transmitted to the activity meter 20 (b2 in FIG. 4).

  When receiving the latest body composition meter data and time information, the control unit 26 of the activity meter 20 controls to update the body composition data stored in the memory 23 to the received latest body composition data. . Then, the control unit 26 of the activity meter 20 stores the activity meter measurement data stored in the memory 23 between the previous data reception from the intermediate communication medium 30 and the current data reception from the intermediate communication medium 30. Control is performed so that the read activity amount measurement data is transmitted to the intermediate communication medium 30 (b3 in FIG. 4).

  The control unit 36 of the intermediate communication medium 30 controls the received activity meter measurement data to be written in the memory 34. In this way, activity meter measurement data is written and accumulated in the memory 35 of the intermediate communication medium 30.

<A-5: Method of recording various data in database section>
Next, a method for recording various data in the database unit 52 will be described. First, a method for transmitting body composition meter measurement data and activity meter measurement data stored in the memory 35 of the intermediate communication medium 30 to the server device 50 will be described. FIG. 5 is a chart for explaining a method of transmitting body composition meter measurement data and activity meter measurement data stored in the memory 35 of the intermediate communication medium 30 to the server device 50. As shown in FIG. 5, the user first connects the first connector 35 of the intermediate communication medium 30 to the second connector 42 of the input terminal 40. When the control unit 36 of the intermediate communication medium 30 detects that the first connector 35 is connected to the second connector 42 in a state where the body composition meter measurement data and the activity meter measurement data are stored in the memory 35, The body composition meter measurement data and the activity meter measurement data stored in 35 are controlled to be transmitted to the input terminal 40 (c1 in FIG. 5). Then, the control unit 48 of the input terminal 40 controls to transmit the body composition meter measurement data and the activity meter measurement data received from the intermediate communication medium 30 to the server device 50 (c2 in FIG. 5).

  On the other hand, as will be described later, when a user starts a diet, the input terminal 40 used by the user acquires target setting data of the user. In the present embodiment, the target setting data is the target calorie increase indicating the target increase in the daily calorie consumption after the start of the diet (that is, the calorie consumption per day at the start of the diet in the days after the start of the diet). The amount of calories consumed), the diet period during which the diet is executed, the past weight one year before the start of the diet, the initial weight indicating the weight at the start of the diet, the target weight, and the diet It consists of the calorie intake per day at the start time and the calorie consumption per day at the start of the diet. The control unit 48 of the input terminal 40 performs control so that the acquired target setting data is transmitted to the server device 50. Then, the control unit 56 of the server device 50 performs control so that the target setting data received from the input terminal 40 is recorded in the database unit 52.

  Then, in the days after starting the diet, the user operates the input unit 44 to input the calorie intake amount on that day to the input terminal 40. The control unit 48 of the input terminal 40 controls to transmit the input calorie intake amount to the server device 50. Based on the intake calorie amount received from the input terminal 40 and the target setting data stored in the database unit 52, the control unit 56 of the server device 50 determines the intake calorie amount per day at the start of the diet, The difference in intake indicating the difference from the calorie intake is calculated. And it controls to record the said intake difference in the database part 52. FIG.

In addition, in the days after starting the diet, the input terminal 40 used by the user acquires the user's body composition data and calorie consumption for the day via the intermediate communication medium 30 as described above. And the control part 48 of the input terminal 40 is controlled to transmit the acquired body composition data and calorie consumption to the server apparatus 50. The control unit 56 of the server device 50 controls to record the body composition data received from the input terminal 40 in the database unit 52. Furthermore, the control unit 50 of the server device 50 calculates the calorie consumption per day at the start of the diet based on the calorie consumption received from the input terminal 40 and the target setting data stored in the database unit 52. The consumption difference which shows the difference with the calorie consumption amount on that day is calculated. Then, control is performed so that the consumption difference is recorded in the database unit 52.
As described above, the target setting data of the user is stored in the database unit 52 of the server device 50, and the body composition data, intake difference, and consumption difference of the user for each day after the diet starts are sequentially recorded. Will be accumulated.

<A-6: Target setting process>
In the present embodiment, when a user starts a diet, the input terminal 40 used by the user acquires target setting data of the user and transmits it to the server device 50. The server device 50 uses the target setting data received from the input terminal 40 to calculate the target calorie amount after the user's diet starts (this is referred to as “target setting process”). More specifically, it is as follows.

  When a user starts a diet, first, the user accesses the server device 50 via the input terminal 40. Then, a screen prompting input of target setting data is displayed on the display unit (not shown) of the input terminal 40 by the service application provided from the server device 50. Looking at this, the user operates the input unit 44 to increase the target calorie consumption per day, the diet period, the past weight, the target weight, and the calorie intake per day at the start of the diet. The amount of calories consumed per day at the start of the diet is input to the input terminal 40. Further, the user uses the body composition meter 10 to measure the current weight (that is, the initial weight). As described above in <A-3: Method of using body composition meter>, the measured initial weight is stored in the memory 34 of the intermediate communication medium 30. Then, as described above in <A-5: Method for recording various data in the database unit>, the intermediate communication medium 30 is stored in the memory 34 of the intermediate communication medium 30 by being connected to the input terminal 40. The initial weight is input to the input terminal 40. In this way, the input terminal 40 acquires user target setting data.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing specific contents of the target setting process executed by the control unit 56 of the server device 50. First, the control unit 56 determines whether a diet period is received from the input terminal 40 (step S1). When it is determined that the diet period has been received, the control unit 56 controls the extraction unit 52 to extract data of other users corresponding to the received diet period from the database unit 52 (step S2). And the control part 56 is based on the data extracted from the database part 52, the increase / decrease rate which shows the ratio which the weight changed during the past one year, the calorie intake reduced to reduce the weight of 1 kg in a diet period. Estimate showing the relationship between the unit calorie loss shown, the unit calorie increase showing the calorie consumption increased to reduce the weight of 1 kg during the diet period, and the weight fluctuation rate showing the percentage of weight change during the diet period The estimated expression creating unit 54 is controlled so as to create an expression by a statistical method (step S3). On the other hand, when the control unit 56 determines in step S1 that the diet period has not been received, the process ends.

  Subsequently, the control unit 56 determines whether or not the target calorie increase, the past weight, the initial weight, and the target weight have been received from the input terminal 40 (step S4). When the control unit 56 determines that the target calorie increase, the past weight, the initial weight, and the target weight have been received, the target caloric intake per day after the start of the diet is calculated using the estimation formula created in step S3. The calculation unit 55 is controlled so as to calculate a target calorie reduction indicating a reduction (that is, an intake calorie amount that should be reduced from a daily intake calorie amount at the start of the diet in the days after the start of the diet) (step S5). ). Then, the control unit 56 controls to transmit the target calorie reduction calculated in step S5 to the input terminal 40 (step S6). Thereby, the target calorie reduction (target calorie amount) calculated by the server device 50 is presented to the user. When the above operation is completed, the target setting process ends. The control unit 56 executes the above-described target setting process at a predetermined cycle. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S4 that the target calorie consumption increase, the past weight, the initial weight, and the target weight have not been received, the control unit 56 is in a standby state until these data are received.

Next, a specific example of the above-described target setting process will be described. Assume that the diet period is “180 days”, the target calorie increase is “146.8 kcal”, the past weight is “67.5 kg”, the initial weight is “68.5 kg”, and the target weight is “62.0 kg”. In this aspect, in step S <b> 2, the control unit 56 extracts other user data corresponding to the diet period of “180 days” from the database unit 52. Specifically, the control unit 56 extracts, from the database unit 52, data of other users who have 180 days worth of data among other users registered in the database unit 52. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the data extracted as described above. As shown in FIG. 7, the extracted data includes initial weight, past weight, increase / decrease ratio, weight 180 days after the start of diet, weight fluctuation ratio indicating the ratio of weight change in 180 days, and diet period “180 days”. Are the unit calorie loss indicating the calorie intake reduced to reduce the body weight by 1 kg, and the unit calorie increase indicating the calorie consumption increased to decrease the body weight by 1 kg in the “180 days”.
The above-mentioned “increase / decrease ratio” is expressed by (initial weight−past weight) / (initial weight). The above-mentioned “weight fluctuation ratio” is expressed by (target weight−initial weight) / (initial weight). Moreover, the above-mentioned “unit calorie reduction” is the difference in intake during the diet period (180 days) (the difference between the intake calorie amount per day at the start of the diet and the intake calorie amount on a certain day after the start of the diet). The average value is expressed by dividing it by “weight after 180 days from the start of diet—initial weight”. Furthermore, the above “increased calorie consumption” is the difference in consumption during the diet period (180 days) (difference between the amount of calories consumed per day at the start of the diet and the amount of calories consumed on a certain day after the start of the diet). The average value is expressed by dividing it by “weight after 180 days−initial weight”.

Subsequently, in step S3, the control unit 56 performs a multiple regression analysis based on the extracted data in FIG. 7 with the increase / decrease ratio, the reduced calorie intake and the increased calorie consumption as explanatory variables, and the weight fluctuation ratio as an objective variable. Create a regression equation. The regression equation created based on the extracted data in FIG. 7 is expressed by the following equation (1).
(Weight fluctuation ratio) = -0.54826-1.99057 x (rate of increase or decrease) -0.01028 x (decrease in calorie intake) -0.01132 x (increase in calorie consumption) (1)
In addition, among the other users registered in the database unit 52, the other users who have data for 180 days become longer as each other user uses the health management system 100 according to the present embodiment. The number increases. Similarly, as the number of new users of the health management system 100 according to the present embodiment increases and the usage period of the new users becomes longer, the number of other users having data for 180 days increases. The coefficient of the regression equation (1) changes according to the data in the database unit 52, and the accuracy of the regression equation (1) improves as the number of other users having 180 days of data increases. Therefore, the reliability of the target calorie amount calculated using the regression equation (1) is also improved.

And if the control part 56 determines with having received the target calorie increase, the past body weight, the initial body weight, and the target body weight in the said step S4, in the said step S5, the target calorie reduction | decrease is carried out using the said Formula (1). Is calculated. In this aspect, since the diet period is “180 days”, the past weight is “67.5 kg”, and the current weight is “68.5 kg”, the “increase / decrease ratio” in formula (1) = (68.5−67.5) /68.5= 0.0146 can be obtained.
Further, in this aspect, since the target weight is “62.0 kg”, it can be obtained that “weight change ratio” = (62.0−68.5) /68.5=−0.0949 in Equation (1).
Furthermore, in this aspect, the target calorie consumption increase is “146.8 kcal”, and the average value of the consumption difference during the diet period is regarded as “146.8 kcal”. As described above, the increase in unit calorie consumption is expressed by dividing the average value of the difference in consumption during the diet period by “weight after 180 days—initial weight”. ] = 146.8 / (62.0−68.5) = − 22.582.

  By substituting the values of “increase / decrease ratio”, “weight fluctuation ratio”, and “unit calorie consumption increase” obtained as described above into the above formula (1), “unit calorie reduction” is obtained, Its value is -22.0617. As described above, the unit calorie reduction is expressed by dividing the average difference in intake during the diet period by “weight after 180 days−initial weight”, so the average difference in intake during the diet period is: −22.0617 × (62.0−68.5) = 143.40. That is, the target calorie reduction (the amount of calories that should be reduced from the amount of calories consumed per day at the start of the diet in the days after the start of the diet) is calculated as 143.4 kcal.

In the present embodiment, the target calorie reduction calculated as described above is presented to the user as it is. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the dietary life for achieving the calculated target calorie reduction is proposed to the user. You can also For example, 1 cup of rice (150g) is equivalent to 252kcal, so if the target calorie reduction is calculated to be 143.4kcal, the user is suggested to reduce 143.4 / 252 = 0.57 servings of rice per day It is also possible to use this mode.
In addition, as described above, in this embodiment, the server device 50 is based on the data of other users, and the estimation formula indicating the relationship between the increase / decrease rate, the reduced unit intake calorie and the increased unit calorie consumption, and the weight variation rate. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the server device 50 creates an estimation formula that indicates the relationship between the reduced calorie intake and the increased calorie consumption and the weight fluctuation ratio based on the data of other users. You can also In this aspect, the server device 50 creates a regression equation by performing a multiple regression analysis with the unit calorie reduction and unit calorie increase as explanatory variables and the weight fluctuation ratio as an objective variable.

<A-7: Operation of Server Device After Target Setting Process>
Next, the operation of the server device 50 after the target setting process will be described. In the days after the user starts dieting, when the input terminal 40 used by the user acquires health management data such as the user's body composition data, calorie consumption and calorie intake, the acquired health management data Data is transmitted to the server device 50. Upon receiving the health management data from the input terminal 40, the server device 50 executes a guide process for supporting the user's diet. More specifically, it is as follows.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing specific contents of the guide processing executed by the control unit 56 of the server device 50. First, the control unit 56 determines whether or not the health management data has been acquired from the input terminal 40 (step S1). When the control unit 56 determines that the health management data has been acquired from the input terminal 40, based on the data of other users stored in the database unit 52, the number of days elapsed from the start of the diet and an index indicating the change in weight The estimation formula creation unit is controlled so as to create a second estimation formula indicating the relationship between the estimation formula and the statistical formula (step S2). Then, the control unit 56 calculates the ideal weight at the present time using the second estimation formula created in step S2 (step S3).

  Subsequently, the control unit 56 obtains a difference between the ideal weight calculated in step S3 and the current weight, and determines whether or not the difference value exceeds the difference threshold value (step S4). If the control unit 56 determines that the difference value does not exceed the difference threshold value, the control unit 56 determines that the diet is properly performed, and displays a graph indicating the change in weight from the start of the diet until the present time. It controls to display on 40 (step S5).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S4 that the difference value exceeds the difference threshold, the control unit 56 determines whether or not the current muscle mass exceeds the muscle mass at the start of dieting (step S6). ). If the control unit 56 determines that the current muscle mass exceeds the muscle mass at the start of the diet, the control unit 56 determines that the diet is being performed properly, and inputs the message “Let's do our best in this condition”. The terminal 40 is controlled to display (Step S7). Even if the difference between the ideal weight and the current weight exceeds the difference threshold, if the muscle mass has increased compared to the start of the diet, the basal metabolic rate will increase, so future weight loss can be expected. is there. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S6 that the current muscle mass does not exceed the muscle mass at the start of the diet, the control unit 56 determines that the diet is not properly performed, The display is controlled to display on the input terminal 40 (step S8).

Next, a specific example of the above-described guide process will be described. Now, the input terminal 40 of the user who is performing a diet with a diet period of “180 days”, an initial weight of “68.5 kg” and a target weight of “62.0 kg” is data for health management on the 28th day from the start of the diet. Is acquired and transmitted to the server device 50. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the weight of the user on the 28th day is “67.9 kg”. When the control unit 56 of the server device 50 receives the data for health management on the 28th day of the user, among other users registered in the database unit 52, the control unit 56 obtains data of other users having data for 180 days. For each of the other users, the change in body weight is calculated until 180 days have passed since the start of the diet. Specifically, for each of the other users, the initial weight is 100%, the weight 180 days after the start of the diet is 0%, and the weight ratio that indicates the ratio of the weight in the day until the 180th day from the start of the diet Ask. The weight ratio is determined by {(weight of the day) − (weight after 180 days from the start of the diet)} / (initial weight−weight after 180 days from the start of the diet). As a result, the data shown in FIG. can get. Based on the data in FIG. 9, the control unit 56 performs a regression analysis using the number of days elapsed from the start of the diet as an explanatory variable and the weight ratio as an objective variable to create a regression equation (step S <b> 2). The regression equation created based on the data of FIG. 9 is expressed in the form of the following equation (2), and the standard deviation is 5.311%.
(Weight ratio) = 0.9727-0.007911 x (elapsed days) + 0.000014 x (elapsed days) ² (2)

  Subsequently, the control unit 56 calculates the ideal weight of the user on the 28th day from the start of the diet using the above equation (2) (step S3). Here, the ideal weight on the 28th day is obtained by {(weight ratio on the 28th day) × (initial weight−target weight) + target weight}. The control unit 56 obtains the weight ratio on the 28th day by substituting “28” for “elapsed days” in the above equation (2). In this embodiment, the weight percentage on day 28 is 76.21%. In this embodiment, since the “initial weight” is “68.5 kg” and the “target weight” is “62.0 kg”, the ideal weight of the user on the 28th day is {76.21% × (68.5−62.0) + 62.0} = 66.95kg.

  Next, the control unit 56 determines whether or not the difference between the ideal weight of the user on the 28th day and the actual weight of the user on the 28th day exceeds the difference threshold (step S4). As described above, since the ideal weight of the user on the 28th day is “66.95 kg” and the actual weight of the user on the 28th day is “67.9 kg”, the ideal weight of the user on the 28th day and 28 The difference from the actual weight on the day is 67.9-66.95 = 0.95kg. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the difference threshold is set to 3 times the standard deviation. That is, the difference threshold is expressed in the form of standard deviation × (initial weight−target weight) × 3. As described above, since the standard deviation is “5.311%”, the initial weight is “68.5 kg”, and the target weight is “62.0 kg”, the difference threshold is 1.036 kg. Therefore, the control unit 56 determines that the difference (0.95 kg) between the ideal weight of the user on the 28th day and the actual weight of the user on the 28th day does not exceed the difference threshold (1.036 kg).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 56 controls the display unit of the input terminal 40 to display a graph indicating the change in weight from the start of dieting to the present day (28th day) (step S5). Further, at this time, as shown in FIG. 11, the control unit 56 is a difference between the intake calorie amount that is the difference between the target calorie intake amount and the actual calorie intake amount, and the difference between the target calorie consumption amount and the actual calorie consumption amount. It is also possible to control to display a graph showing a certain consumption difference. In FIG. 11, the intake calorie amount exceeds the target as the intake difference becomes negative. On the other hand, as the consumption difference becomes negative, the calorie consumption is less than the target. The user reflects on the graph in FIG. 11 and tries to reduce the amount of calories consumed and increase the amount of calories consumed.

<A-8: Action and effect>
As described above, in this embodiment, when a user starts a diet, the server device 50 reduces the unit intake calorie reduction and the unit calorie consumption increase based on the data of other users, and in the health management period. An estimation formula indicating the relationship with the index indicating weight change is created by a statistical method, and the target intake calorie reduction of the user is calculated using the created estimation formula and the target setting data of the user. It is assumed that the target setting data such as the target calorie consumption increase of the user is different from other users, but by substituting the target setting data of the user into the above estimation formula, the target setting of the user The target calorie reduction according to the data can be calculated. Thereby, there exists an advantage that the reliability of the target calorie reduction calculated for every user can fully be ensured.

  Further, as described above, in the present embodiment, when the user starts a diet, the server device 50 extracts the data of another user corresponding to the diet period of the user from the database unit 52 and extracts the data. The estimation formula is created based on the data. That is, the estimation formula created by the server device 50 corresponds to the diet period of the user. Specifically, each coefficient of the above regression equation (1) is variably set according to the diet period of the user. According to this embodiment, there exists an advantage that the reliability of the said target calorie amount can further be improved by calculating the target calorie amount using the estimation formula according to a user's diet period.

Next, the usage method of the body composition meter 10 is demonstrated. FIG. 13 is a chart for specifically explaining how to use the body composition meter 10. Here, the operation when the body composition meter 10 is used for the first time will be mainly described. As shown in FIG. 13, the user first presses the start switch 16 of the body composition monitor 10. When the control unit 15 of the body composition meter 10 detects that the start switch 16 has been pressed by the user, the control unit 15 supplies power from the power source (not shown) of the body composition meter 10 to each part of the electrical system of the body composition meter 10.
