DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an ovulation date, PMS
The present invention relates to a female physical condition management device for determining a physical condition that appears in a monthly cycle of a woman, such as a period, a menstrual period, and a fertile period.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The physical condition of a woman's lunar cycle has a close relationship with the basal body temperature. As shown in FIG. 1, the basal body temperature changes from a low temperature period to a high temperature period on the day of ovulation. It is known that a transition from a high-temperature period to a low-temperature period starts at the start of menstruation. Conventionally, utilizing this relationship, the transition of the basal body temperature is measured each morning when a woman wakes up with a basal thermometer for women, and manually recorded in the form of a table or a graph on paper, thereby determining the physical condition of the woman's monthly cycle. Have been.

[0003]

In the conventional physical condition determination based on the transition of the basal body temperature, the basal body temperature must be measured in a state where the patient lies in a recumbent position every day and usually takes about 5 minutes. However, it is very troublesome to actually perform this, and this also causes the subject to fall asleep and fall asleep during the measurement.

In the determination of a woman's physical condition based on changes in basal body temperature, it is possible to determine the ovulation date, menstrual period, fertile period, etc., which are mainly used for birth control. PMS (PremenstrualSyndrome: Premenstrual Syndrome) is growing recognition
Symptoms cannot be determined. During the PMS phase, which begins about 7 days before menstruation, many women suffer from headaches, irritation,
Suffering from some unpleasant symptoms such as abdominal pain and swelling, "I am in the PMS phase and have PMS symptoms."
Awareness is said to be an effective means for alleviating the symptoms.

[0005] It is difficult to judge the physical condition from the transition of the basal body temperature recorded manually in the form of a graph on a sheet of paper, and the judgment varies depending on the person.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art and to provide a women's physical condition management device which allows anyone to quickly and easily grasp the physical condition of a woman including a PMS period that appears in a monthly cycle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Before describing the female physical condition management apparatus of the present invention, the present inventor first finds out by repeating measurements on a plurality of subjects and finds out the female physical condition according to the present invention described later. Bioelectrical impedance value (hereinafter referred to as BI) serving as a basis for determination by the management device
And the physical condition appearing in the monthly cycle of a woman will be described with reference to measurement results. The measurement results shown below are the measurement results obtained when the subject wakes up every day, and the BI is measured between both feet.

First, an outline of the periodicity of the transition of BI will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the transition of BI and basal body temperature. The average value of two adjacent measured values by a moving average method is graphed. It was done. From FIG. 2, the BI shows a high tendency during the low temperature period, a low value during the high temperature period, and a low value after a temporary rise from just before menstruation to the first half of menstruation as a general tendency, although the variation is large. It can be seen that the value changes periodically, such as indicating a value.

Next, the relationship between BI and body weight will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing changes in body weight. From FIG. 3, it can be seen that the weight of the subject gradually decreases during the measurement period. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a correlation between BI and body weight. From FIG. 4, the correlation coefficient R between BI and body weight is shown.
It can be seen that there is a significant negative correlation of = 0.527, that is, there is a relation that BI increases when weight decreases and BI decreases when weight increases. It is considered that such a relationship generally occurs because the body water also increases and decreases as the body weight increases and decreases, and the BI also increases and decreases as the body water increases and decreases. From the above, the BI shown in FIG.
It can be seen that is affected by the weight loss shown in FIG.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the transition of the weight correction BI in which the influence of the weight change as described above has been removed. Weight correction B
I is obtained by subtracting or adding the increase / decrease of BI accompanying the increase / decrease of body weight from BI.
Alternatively, it is calculated from the correction formula 2. Here, A and B are correction coefficients.

Correction formula 1: weight correction BI = BI + A ×
Difference from the weight measured at the first time Correction formula 2: Weight correction BI = BI + B × Difference from the previously measured weight When comparing FIG. 5 and FIG. 2, the transition of the weight correction BI in which the influence of the weight change is removed Shows a clearer periodicity than the uncorrected BI transition.

Next, the relationship between BI, basal body temperature and PMS will be described. From FIGS. 2 and 5, BI shows a high value in the low temperature period of the basal body temperature, and shows a low value in the high temperature period. On the contrary, as shown in FIGS. It can be seen that it shows a low value from just before menstruation to the first half of menstruation. As shown in FIG. 6, no significant correlation is confirmed between the weight correction BI and the basal body temperature (correlation coefficient R
= 0.424).

The cause of the low value of BI that appears immediately before menstruation, which is the low-temperature period of basal body temperature, and in the first half of menstruation may be that the body of a woman stores water during this period, causing swelling. The swelling causes an increase in body water, and this increase in body water leads to a decrease in BI. Therefore, it can be seen that there is a relationship between the transition of BI and the basal body temperature and swelling, where BI shows a low value with the occurrence of swelling, and thereafter, BI shows a high value with the disappearance of swelling. This suggests that swelling, which was impossible from basal body temperature, can be determined based on the transition of BI. It is also known that swelling that appears before menstruation is closely related to PMS, and PMS appears with swelling, and the more severe the swelling, the heavier the PMS. Therefore, it can be understood that the PMS can be determined in the same manner as the swelling based on the transition of the BI.

Next, the relationship between BI and the physical condition appearing in a woman's monthly cycle will be described. FIGS. 7 and 8 are diagrams showing changes in body weight corrected BI, physical condition appearing in the female's monthly cycle, and basal body temperature. . FIGS. 7 and 8 clearly show that BI changes periodically in relation to the physical condition of a woman's lunar cycle. This utilizes the relationship between the BI shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 and the physical condition of the woman in the monthly cycle to determine the physical condition of the female in the monthly cycle based on the transition of the BI. It suggests that it will be possible. Therefore, for example, from FIGS. 7 and 8 and the above description,
The ovulation date is determined by the transition of BI from a high value to a low value, and the occurrence of swelling and PMS is determined. The termination of PMS is determined by an increase in BI, and the end of menstruation is determined by the stable BI at a high value. It is possible to determine the physical condition of a woman that appears in a monthly cycle, such as by making a determination. Note that P
There are three types of BI value fluctuations during the MS phase. In the person of type A shown in FIG. 7, the BI value temporarily rises and falls just before menstruation. In this type, the appearance of PMS symptoms can be foreseen. In the type B person, the BI value does not increase or decrease, and does not change. In a type C person, the BI value decreases. Here, when the BI value is falling, PMS symptoms such as the above-mentioned frustration and the like have appeared. In addition, swelling has also appeared.

As described above, in the example of the subject, the relationship between the BI measured between both feet and the physical condition appearing in the woman's lunar cycle has been described above. A similar relationship has been confirmed in the subjects, and is universally applicable to general women. Also,
Not only the BI measured between both feet but also the same relationship as described above has been confirmed between the BI measured between both hands and the limbs and the physical condition appearing in a woman's monthly cycle. However, since the above-mentioned relationship was found most remarkably in the case of BI measured between both feet, it is preferable to use the BI measured between both feet at the time of determination.

Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 12 to FIG. 18, FIG. 20, and FIG.
FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the operation of the gynecological condition management apparatus of the present invention, and FIG. 19 is a state transition diagram. First, FIG.
2, the operation of the main program will be described. In step S1, the person to be determined presses the power button 41a to turn on the power of the female physical condition management device 10. In step S2, an initialization process is performed. Details of the initialization process will be described later. In step S3, a calendar for the current month is displayed on the display unit 42 as shown in FIG. At the top, icons for various commands are also displayed. The rectangular mark on the 24th means that day.

Next, the ↑ button of the direction button 41j, the measurement button 41b, the selection button 41g, the menstruation button 41e,
When the ← button and → button are pressed, control proceeds to steps S4, S5, S6, S7, S8 and S9, respectively.

In step S4, the mode becomes a fertile period display mode, and the expected date of starting menstruation and the date of expected fertility are displayed on a calendar. Details will be described later. In step S5, the measurement mode is set, the bioelectrical impedance and the like are measured, and the result is displayed. Details will be described later. In step S6, the mode becomes the icon mode, and the command corresponding to the icon at the top of the calendar is executed. Details will be described later.

In step S7, a menstrual date is designated on a calendar. In step S8, the previous month calendar is displayed. In step S9, the next month calendar is displayed.
In step S10, the auto power off timer is counted up. This auto power off timer is reset when the power is turned on or by key operation. In step S11, it is determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed. If not, the process returns to step S10. Step S
At 12, the power is turned off.

Next, the initialization process (step S2) will be described in detail with reference to FIG. This initialization process is performed only when the power button is pressed for the first time or the reset button is pressed. The determination as to whether the power is turned on for the first time is made by a generally used method.
For example, a variable called an initialization flag is prepared, and this flag is set when initialization is performed. And
This flag is tested at the very first step of the initialization process, and if it is set, the initialization process is not performed.

In step S21, internal variables are initialized. In step S22, the date and time of the internal clock is set to the current date and time. In step S23, the latest menstrual date is input.

Next, the processing in the fertile period display mode (step S4) will be described in detail with reference to FIG. No explanation information such as an icon indicating this mode is displayed. This is because the information displayed in this mode has a high secret property. In step S31, the expected fertility period and the expected date of menstruation are displayed as shown in FIGS. In FIG. 23, ◎ indicates the day of ovulation. GOOD with ◎ is displayed to indicate the expected fertility period. Then, the expected fertility period mark and the date flash alternately. The rectangular mark on the 24th is shown in FIG.
Same as 2 means the day. In FIG. 24, M indicates a scheduled start date of menstruation. Then, M and the date flash alternately. In the case where the expected fertility period and the menstruation start date extend over two months as in the case of FIG. 23 and FIG.
The icon flashes. When the → button is pressed, the next month (FIG. 24) can be seen. In the next month, the ← icon in the upper left corner blinks as shown in FIG. In this example, the expected fertility period is five days, two days before and after the ovulation day, but there is also a concept of nine days from day 11 to day 19 counted from the day before the next scheduled menstruation start date. .

In step S32, it is determined whether the cancel button 41h or the ↓ button has been pressed.
If the button has been pressed, the process returns to step S3 to end the fertile period display mode. In step S33, the timer is counted up. In step S34, it is determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed. If not, the process returns to step S32. In step S35, the power is turned off.

Next, the measurement process (step S5) will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In step S41, FIG.
"Please get on the impedance meter" as shown in 5
Is blinking displayed on the display unit 42. At the same time, the date and time are displayed at the top. If the user presses the cancel button 41h, the process proceeds to step S3.

In step S42, the to-be-determined person applies the toe of the left sole and the right sole to the constant current applying electrode 2 within 30 seconds.
1a and 21b, respectively, and the heels of the left sole and the right sole contact the voltage measuring electrodes 22a and 22b, respectively. The weight is detected and measurement of the weight of the subject is started. Subsequently, in step S43, the high-frequency weak constant current generated by the high-frequency constant current circuit 23 is applied to the toe of the person to be determined via the constant current applying electrodes 21a and 21b, and the lower abdomen of the person to be determined It is shed between both legs including. Then, the voltage between the voltage measurement electrodes 22a and 22b is measured by the voltage measurement circuit 24, and BI is measured. Until the determination result is displayed, the CPU 45 displays a sine curve-shaped monthly cycle diagram indicating that the measurement is being performed on the display unit 42 as shown in FIG.
On the sine curve, the □ and the chick move repeatedly from left to right. The sine curve may be a circle or a straight line. The chick may be an animal. In addition, the storage device 4
The measurement data stored in 4 may be sent by telop. These have the effect that the waiting time during the measurement is not felt or tired. □ may be ○ or ●. The chick character may be a character whose color or shape changes according to the change of the date. In step S44, the BI measured in step S4 is corrected based on the weight correction formula 1 or 2 as described above. Thus, the weight correction BI from which the influence of the weight change has been removed is calculated.

In step S45, the CPU 25 stores the currently measured weight correction BI obtained in step S44 and the storage device 24 based on the relationship between the BI and the physical condition of the woman in the monthly cycle as described above. Weight correction BI measured up to the last time
Is determined from the menstrual period data and the like stored in the following manner. The date of the menstruation start date data specified in step S7 of FIG. 12 is set as the menstruation start date. One week from the menstruation start date is defined as a first period (menstrual period). 4% from the average BI value in the second week of the past lunar cycle from the next day
The day before the low BI value is measured is defined as a second period (good period). A third period (maintenance period) from the next day to one week before the next scheduled start date of menstruation estimated from past data is defined as a third period (maintenance period). The period from the next day to the date when the next menstruation start date data is input is defined as a fourth period (PMS period). As described above, it is determined which type is A, B, or C in FIG. 7, and the occurrence of PMS symptoms is determined. In the case of type A, the onset of PMS symptoms is foreseen. The scheduled ovulation date is
The 14th day is set retroactively from the next scheduled menstrual date estimated from the past data. Note that the ovulation day is the last day of the good season, so if the day following this day is reached, the aforementioned expected fertility date is corrected.

Since the above judgment requires past data, at least past one-month cycle data is required.
If there is no such data, a message such as "data is insufficient" is displayed on the display unit 42.

Next, a method of determining the "swelling" level characteristic of the PMS period will be described. Past average B of this period
If a decrease of 1% or less occurs based on the I value, it is determined that the swelling level is 1. Hereafter, the swelling level increases one by one for each 1% decrease.

In step S46, when the measurement and determination are completed normally, the determined physical condition is displayed. Details will be described later. In step S47, when the → button is pressed or a predetermined time has elapsed, a message “Press the record button to record data” is displayed on the display unit 42. When the recording button 41c is pressed, the values of the weight correction BI, the weight, and the like measured this time are stored in the storage device 44.
Is stored. Return to the main program.

Next, the physical condition display processing (step S46) will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In step S141, as shown in FIG. 27, the circle on the sine curve stops blinking at the position of the day measured, and at the same time, information indicating the physical condition of the day, for example, the word “PMS” is blinked and displayed. After that, the blinking is released and fixed display is performed. “M” at the lower left and lower right of the display screen means menstruation. In step S142, when the → button is pressed or a predetermined time has elapsed, a cycle message corresponding to the physical condition is displayed as shown in FIG. In this message, the level of the swelling, the mental condition such as “moistness” and “skin condition” and the physical condition such as “body” are displayed in a bar graph. In the swelling level, one highlighted mark represents one of the swelling levels. Step S
The levels of “Kimochi”, “Body”, “Skin condition”, and “Pheromone” of the “menstrual period,“ good period ”, and“ maintenance period ”determined in 45 are assigned by the number of days from the start of each period. As for the “PMS period”, the levels of “Kimochi” and “body” are determined based on the “swelling level” determined from the BI change value described in step S45. If the swelling is strong, brain edema will occur and the symptoms of irritation will be strong, so the level of "Kimochi" will be low. Also, if the swelling is strong, fatigue will increase, and the level of “body” will decrease. The "pheromone" level determines that women are 100% at the time of the most feminine ovulation. In this embodiment,
The graph shows the case where the graph is a bar graph.
It may be a line graph or a radar chart. Further, a three-dimensional display may be used. In step S143,

Assume that the menstrual cycle of the person to be determined is 28 days. It is three days before the 14th day (scheduled ovulation) from the day the menstruation button is pressed. The number of days naturally depends on the average period of the person to be determined. Although the body temperature has not yet risen, the swelling is removed before the ovulation and it naturally becomes thin. At this time, it is said that if you pay attention to your diet and exercise, you will have an effective diet. Next, the end of the period will be described. The end is set to the fourth day of the low value period when BI falls and enters the BI low value period. That is, the period up to the fourth day after the body temperature rises is determined as a “period suitable for dieting”. The reason is that in the high temperature period, the body temperature is high and the energy consumption is high. Step S
