DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A personal menu creation system in a health promotion facility according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. This system includes a registration setting means for registering a target characteristic concerning various physical conditions of a human body and a menu of a meal or an exercise planned to achieve the target characteristic, and a physical setting during or after execution of the created menu. Measuring means for periodically measuring various conditions, recording means for recording the measurement results, comparison operation means for comparing the recorded measurement results with the set target characteristics, and operation results based on the operation results by the comparison operation means. It comprises a menu correcting means for correcting the originally planned menu and a correction menu presenting means for presenting the correction menu.

The target characteristics are set and registered in the system in consultation with a health promotion menu creator of a health promotion facility such as a fitness club or a sports club, a health promotion target person who is a facility user, or both. In the health care facility, the creator of the health promotion menu plans a meal or exercise menu, aiming at the set target characteristics. Then, the creator of the health promotion menu records the menu in the system. The menu is printed in an electronic medium such as a CD-Rom or a floppy (registered trademark) disk copied from the system, or printed in a predetermined form such as an action program table or menu table. Handed over to health promotion target. Note that a part of the menu may be transferred to the exercise equipment in the health promotion facility, and the subject may use the exercise equipment based on the menu. The health promotion target executes the menu, and periodically measures various physical conditions during or after the menu is executed. If the measurement is performed by using an excrement measurement device that measures the specific components in the excrement excreted from the body,
Because it can measure various physical properties other than the physical characteristics of the body itself (such as weight), it is useful for promoting health. Then, the creator of the health promotion menu compares the obtained measurement result with the initial target characteristic, determines the appropriateness of the menu based on the comparison result, and corrects the menu as necessary. Then, the health promotion target person newly executes the menu using the correction menu. In this way, personal health promotion services based on excretion measurements are promoted.

Next, the excrement measuring device will be described.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the excrement measuring device. The urine collection device 2 locked to the toilet 1 includes a mounting portion 2-a, a urine collection arm 2-b, and a urine collection dish 2 arranged on the upper surface of the toilet rim 1-a.
-C. The urine collector includes at least one or more rotating parts 3 as hinges, via a support member 4,
The excrement excreted by the user is suctioned and connected to a measuring device 5 for analyzing the components. A rail mechanism 6 is formed between the support member 4 and the measuring device 5 so as to be movable left and right toward the measuring device 5. Since the relative position between the urine sampler 2 and the measuring device 5 can be changed by the rail mechanism 6,
The user can position the measuring device on either side of himself or herself, and can change the position of the toilet in the depth direction so that the measuring device 5 does not interfere with the position of the foot. It is possible to reduce as much as possible the user's convenience in using the toilet due to the installation of the measuring device. The support member 4 is provided with an adjusting mechanism 7 for changing the length in the middle thereof. The thickness of the attachment portion 2-a is equal to or less than the clearance gap between the toilet rim 1-a and a toilet seat provided with a cushioning member on a back surface (not shown) in contact with the toilet rim. If the mounting portion 2-a is arranged at a position where it does not interfere between the cushioning members of the toilet seat (not shown), the seat surface position of the toilet seat does not rise due to the height of the mounting portion 2-a, and the user sits on the toilet seat. There is no change in sitting ability. Since the length between the urine collector 2 and the measuring device 5 is the minimum length, there is no need to secure a sufficient capacity of the pump for sucking excrement, and the amount of excrement to be sucked can be minimized. Not only can the measuring device 5 be made compact, but also the time required for the measurement can be reduced and the measurement accuracy can be improved.

The operation knob 8 and the urine collection arm 2-b are connected by a free shaft mechanism (not shown). When the operation knob 8 is turned, the urine collection arm 2-b is also turned and the urine collection dish 2-c is used. Can be moved to the path from which the excrement of the person is discharged. In the present embodiment, an example in which the user manually moves the operation knob 8 provided on the measuring device 5 has been described. However, not only a manual driving device but also a motor or the like provided inside the measuring device 5 may be used. The same effect is obtained by simplifying the urine collector 2 to improve the operation reliability. This drawing shows a state in which the urine collection dish 2-c is arranged at a substantially open position of the toilet 1, but this is an origin position before the user performs measurement, and the urine collection arm 2-b is manually moved. This is a position where the operation knob 8 returns when the user releases his / her hand when rotating. If the urine collection dish 2-c is stopped at this position, the urine collection dish 2-c does not stay in the toilet bowl 1 and hinders the user's urination, or the urine urine dispenser is acted upon by the urination. There is no risk of damage. When the user turns the operation knob 8 to the position indicating his or her gender displayed on the measuring device 5, the urine collection arm 2-b attached to the urine collector 2 moves to the excretion route of the user. Become. A detection mechanism for detecting that a required amount of urine, which will be described later, is stored in a portion where the urine is collected inside the urine collection dish is provided. When the required amount of urine is collected, the urine is sucked by the measuring device 5 and measurement is started. Will be done.

[0014] The user can obtain a qualitative or quantitative analysis of urine sugar or urine protein, which is a component item contained in urine, as a measurement result of the excrement measurement device by the use of toilets in the toilet. As a sensor, the applicant has realized a method for determining color of test paper, an enzyme-immobilized membrane sensor, a surface plasmon resonance sensor, and the like, and discloses a method for easily displaying the measured value as a trend to a user.

[0015] The actual measurement value is utilized by improving the value of each measurement item in a direction of improvement, for example, urine sugar level so that the value is 50 mg / dL or less regardless of before and after a meal.
Diet and lifestyle will be improved. However, in practice, it is difficult for an amateur to exercise appropriate exercise, eating habits, and lifestyle habits, and the improvement effect cannot be achieved forever, or on the contrary, the improvement effect may be too rapid to cause other adverse effects. The present invention implements a suitable exercise, eating habits and lifestyle by installing an excrement measuring device as a toilet device of a health promotion facility called a fitness club / sports club which is fulfilling a position as a health station. Will be provided to the user.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart for correcting a personal menu. First, from the user's physical information such as height, weight, body fat, etc., and a desire to diet or to improve the symptoms of diabetes, etc., a "planning" to make a meal / exercise menu is performed. It is generally said that the daily exercise amount is weight (kg) × 5 kcal,
If it is 0 kg, the exercise of 300 kcal will be indicated by the number of steps and the exercise menu in the training gym. A meal of 2000 kcal / day is shown as a meal menu by combining the ages. Then
The user presented with the “menu” “executes” a predetermined exercise and meal. The result is "checked" as a result of the user based on the weight, body fat, and urine sugar level. If exercise is overloaded, weight loss is rapid, exercise menu is reduced by urinary protein measurement that is considered to indicate physical fatigue, and urinary glucose level improvement effect is not recognized Occasionally the exercise menu will be increased. The “improvement study” is performed by combining the improvement of eating habits and the improvement of lifestyle such as sleep time and smoking habits of the user, and the steps after the “planning” are performed again. Since the measurement results of the excrement are checked, the health condition of the user and the symptoms of the illness are improved and not deteriorated by appropriate exercise, eating habits and lifestyle improvement.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an embodiment of improving the urinary sugar level which is improved by performing this flow. In contrast to the absence of improvement in urinary sugar level, it has been shown that by improving the exercise menu / meal menu, urinary sugar level is improved, and the result is improvement of diabetes symptoms.
