Or a communication terminal unit 13 for mobile communication, which is incorporated in advance or as a part of the user terminal 1, and the communication terminal unit 13 communicates with the server 12 through the mobile communication network 14 and the Internet 15. Data is exchanged between them. The display data of the display / notification unit 7 is stored in advance in the memory unit 9 and is read from the arithmetic processing unit 6 during display control, and is controlled to be displayed on the display / notification unit 7.

  The apparatus main body 1A exposes the push button PB1 of the key switch of the input operation unit 2 and the push button PB0 of the power switch on the surface, and the display surface 7a of the liquid crystal display constituting the display / notification unit 7, Further, a sound output hole 7b of the notification speaker is opened, and a plurality of ports 8a of the communication unit 8 are provided on the side surface.

  On the other hand, the server 12 is installed in the center of a provider who is the main provider of the service in the motion sensing system of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the server 12 includes a communication unit 26 for connecting to the Internet 15 and an arithmetic means. The computer 27 includes a computing unit 27 and an external storage device 28 that is an accumulating unit for accumulating various data, which will be described later. The computing unit 27 is a Web for constructing a Web site that serves as a platform for providing services to be described later. A life pattern determination function 27b that includes a server function 27a and determines a life pattern of a measurement target person corresponding to the user terminal 1 based on data to be described later sent from each user terminal 1, and a determined life pattern Life patterns from the present to the near And an advice function 27c for generating advice data for optimizing the life activity of the measurement subject based on the predicted life pattern and a calorie balance result to be described later sent from the user terminal 1. .

  Here, the basic operation of the user terminal 1 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

  First, when using the user terminal 1, the measurement subject operates the push button PB 1... Of the input operation unit 2 to instruct the arithmetic processing unit 6 to set an initial operation mode. In response to the instruction of the initial setting operation mode, the arithmetic processing unit 6 displays an operation screen on the display surface 7a of the display / notification unit 7 to indicate that the measurement target person has entered the initial setting operation mode, and Displays a menu that guides the operating procedure.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, when the measurement subject enters the initial operation mode (step S1), the calculation processing unit 6 of the user terminal 1 derives the basal metabolism (BM) according to the display of the operation screen. Therefore, age (Age), height (St), weight (Wg), and sex (Sx) are input from the input operation unit 2 as personal data (step S2). Next, the arithmetic processing unit 6 stores the input data in the memory unit 10 and also from the basal metabolism reference value table stored in the memory unit 9 based on the age (Age) and gender (Sx). A reference value (Rbm) of basal metabolism corresponding to the subject is read (step S3), and a standard weight (Rwg) of the subject to be measured is obtained (step S4). This standard weight is obtained from the following equation using an ideal BM (BODY MASS INDEX) value (= 22) and height St.

Rwg = St × St × 22
Then, the standard weight Rbm is compared with the input weight Wg, and based on the difference, the basal metabolic standard value per unit time and the consideration of the height and weight (for example, body surface area) of the subject to be measured Calculate the basal metabolism (BM) per hour.

  After the calculated basal metabolism (BM) is stored in the memory unit 10 under the control of the arithmetic processing unit 6, the initial operation mode is terminated, and the display / notification unit 7 indicates that the operation has been completed (step S6). ).

  As described above, when the initial setting for deriving the basal metabolism of the measurement subject is completed, the user terminal 1 can be used. Of course, the initial time setting is also performed before use.

  Now, after the initial setting, when using the device body 1A with a band (not shown) on the upper limb of the person to be measured and pressing the push button PB0 to turn on the power, the measurement of the movement state data collection is performed. The operation will be started.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, after the measurement is started (step S10), when the measurement subject moves, the vertical direction, the left-right direction, and the front-rear direction, that is, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions are displayed. Body motion (acceleration) is detected by the triaxial acceleration sensor 3. The acceleration measurement output of the triaxial acceleration sensor 3 is subjected to A / D conversion by an A / D conversion circuit 5 after a frequency component equal to or higher than a frequency that becomes a human operation limit is cut by a low-pass filter circuit 4, and an arithmetic processing unit 6 Is output.

  The arithmetic processing unit 6 samples and captures the acceleration detection output in each axis direction that has been A / D converted by the A / D conversion circuit 5 at predetermined time intervals (step S11), and combines the acceleration output of each axis that has been captured. And the root mean square is derived. Based on the approximate curve data (see FIG. 5) of the mean square of the synthesized acceleration and the amount of activity (energy metabolism rate <RMR>) stored in the memory unit 10 in advance, the derived mean square of the synthesized acceleration is calculated. Find the corresponding amount of activity. Here, there is a relationship as shown in Table 1, for example, between the amount of activity and the type of exercise state.

  The arithmetic processing unit 6 rounds off the amount of activity obtained from the above approximate curve in order to associate the amount of activity with the type of exercise state seen in Table 1 described above to obtain the final value. Then, every time one hour elapses after performing these calculations for each sampling, a process for obtaining a section activity ratio indicating the transition state of the activity amount in the one hour is performed (step S13). That is, the process which calculates | requires the ratio of the exercise | movement type determined by activity amount for every time is performed.

  Further, the arithmetic processing unit 6 obtains the calorie consumption (E) at each time based on the basal metabolism (BM) and the activity (RMR) of the subject to be measured previously obtained (step S14).

  Thus, after calculating | requiring an activity ratio, activity amount (RMR), and calorie consumption (E), the arithmetic processing part 6 time-sequentially calculated | required these activity amount (RMR) and calorie consumption (E). A process of temporarily storing in the memory unit 10 is performed (step S15).

  Here, the amount of data stored in the memory unit 10 is set to a predetermined number of days (one day), and the arithmetic processing unit 6 performs a process of erasing data, for example, every 0:00. Of course, the capacity of the memory unit 10 may be increased so as not to increase the size of the user terminal 1 and a plurality of days may be stored.

  The above steps S10 to S15 are the data collection operation in the user terminal 1 in the present embodiment. Along with this data collection, the display / notification unit 7 displays the activity ratio obtained up to the current time using a graph in a bar graph at each time when data is stored in the memory unit 9.

  By the way, the person to be measured can switch the operation mode from the operation mode to the intake calorie input mode using the input operation unit 2. That is, according to the switching of the operation mode, a function corresponding to the operation mode is assigned to each push button PB1..., And characters, codes, marks, etc. indicating the function are associated with the position of the push button PB1. Is displayed. Therefore, when the subject to be measured selects and operates the push button PB1... Corresponding to the intake calorie input mode from this display screen, the arithmetic processing unit 6 switches the operation mode to the intake calorie input mode, and the display / notification unit. 7 is switched to the menu search screen shown in FIG.

  Next, when the push button PB1... Corresponding to the start key is pressed on the screen, the screen is switched to a screen for roughly classifying food as shown in FIG. On this screen, when the push button PB1... Is operated so that a circle at the head of the classification name of the food to be ingested is lit, and then confirmed, a detailed display screen is displayed as shown in FIG. Switch to For example, when “Japanese food” is selected on the screen of FIG. 6C, a selection screen for staple foods, main dishes, side dishes, etc. is displayed for further subdivision. Here, for example, when “staple food” is selected, as shown in FIG. 6 (d), a selection screen further classifying the staple foods “丼” and “noodles” is displayed. Here, for example, “noodles” is selected. Then, the screen switches to a display screen on which a representative menu of noodles shown in FIG. 6 (e) is displayed. When the name of the food to be finally consumed is selected on the screen of FIG. 6 (e), the calorie intake per predetermined unit amount that is associated in advance is input. For example, when “Zaru soba” is selected, the name of the food and the amount of calories consumed per person are displayed as shown in FIG.

When the end input is completed and the end confirmation is performed with the push button assigned to the end determination, the intake calorie input mode is ended.
Here, the arithmetic processing unit 6 stores the current calorie intake amount in the memory unit 10 in time series simultaneously with the end of the intake calorie input mode, and totals the calorie intake amount input from time 0:00 to the present time. If the calorie balance is calculated by comparing the total calorie intake to date with the total calories consumed to date, and the total calorie intake at present exceeds the total calorie consumption Displays an advice message on the display screen that recommends limiting the calorie intake from the current time, and if the total calorie intake is less than a certain amount less than the total calorie consumption, an advice message recommending that you increase the calorie intake Displayed on the display screen as a result of income

  In addition, if the difference between the total calorie intake and the total calorie consumption is within a certain range that can be tolerated, an advice message indicating an appropriate state is displayed. The text data of these advice messages is registered in advance in the memory unit 9, and the arithmetic processing unit 6 selects the corresponding message data based on the determination of the calorie balance and displays it on the display / notification unit 7. . Of course, you may make it display the excess and deficiency of intake calories in a message.

  When the calorie intake is input in this way, the current calorie balance at that time is automatically determined and displayed, giving consideration to the amount of activity and calorie intake from the current measurement subject It becomes possible to do.

  The data collection and storage operations by the three-axis acceleration sensor 3 are performed in parallel even in the intake calorie input mode as described above until the power is turned off.

  By the way, data such as the activity ratio, activity transition data and calorie consumption, calorie intake, calorie balance result, etc. stored in the memory unit 10 as described above to the communication unit 8 of the user terminal 1 are stored in the communication unit 8 of the user terminal 1. It can be appropriately transmitted to the server 12 through the connected communication terminal unit 13 for mobile communication.

  That is, the user terminal 1 has a data communication operation mode as one of the user terminal functions. When the input operation unit 2 is operated to shift to the data communication operation mode and execute the data transmission operation, the mobile communication network 14 The URL of the service providing home page constructed by the Web server function 27a of the server 12 on the Internet 15 is called through the Internet connection service provided by the carrier, and the data upload screen is displayed on the display / notification unit 7.

  Here, when the web server function 27a of the server 12 is accessed to the above-mentioned URL, first, identification number data assigned to the user terminal 1 owned or lent by each measurement target person who has contracted in advance is stored. An instruction to transfer is given to the user terminal 1 to be transferred, and after that, a search is performed as to whether the transferred identification number corresponds to an identification number registered in the customer database of the external storage device 28 in advance. If there is a person who performs the authentication, the user terminal 1 is permitted to log in, and has a function of performing an authentication process that allows the stored data to be transferred from the upload screen described above.

  When the measurement subject performs a data transfer operation according to the procedure displayed on the screen (step S20 in FIG. 4B), the arithmetic processing unit 6 of the user terminal 1 reads the stored data from the memory unit 10 (step S21). The data is transferred to the server 12 via the mobile communication network 14 and the Internet 15.

  In the server 12, when data is transferred from the user terminal 1 under the control of the calculation unit 27, the data is time-sequentially stored in the storage area of the external storage device 28 allocated for each measurement target person registered in advance. Perform accumulation processing.

  In addition, the calculation unit 27 performs the life pattern prediction function 27b by using the life pattern determination function 27b in the process of the data accumulation process. In other words, in performing the life pattern prediction determination process, for example, (1) a time period from 6:00 to 9:00 (commuting / commuting time period for going to the office, going to school, sending out from wakeup), (2 ) Time zone from 9:00 to 12:00 (working hours in the morning from lunch, going to school, sending out to lunch), (3) Time zone from 12:00 to 16:00 (afternoon activities from lunch to 4 hours after lunch) (Time zone), (4) Time zone from 16:00 to 20:00 (Evening time zone from 4 hours after lunch to dinner), (5) Time zone from 20:00 to 22:00 (nighttime from dinner to bedtime) Activity time zone), (6) divided into time zones from 22:00 to 6 o'clock (sleeping time zone from bedtime to waking up), and the pattern data of the activity ratio obtained at each time described above is the time zone (1) Each time zone (1) that is divided into ~ (6) and is registered in advance with this pattern By comparing the pattern of the corresponding time slot of the life pattern of the various criteria are divided into (6), determines a high degree of similarity with the life pattern of the measured subject.

  In response to the determined life pattern result, the advice function 27c performs a process of predicting a life pattern from the present time to 24:00 on that day, which is a near time.

  Here, an example of a standard life pattern is shown in FIG. FIG. 7 (a) shows an example of a life pattern of an office worker commuting by train, and this life pattern is in the time zone from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock (commuting time zone) and in the home time zone after 19:00. The activity ratio is large, and FIG. 5B shows the life pattern of the office worker who commute by car, and this activity pattern does not have the activity ratio in the commuting time zone as compared with the life pattern of the train commuters. Fig. 8 shows the life pattern of a full-time housewife who does housework every day. This life pattern has a high percentage of activity during the morning and evening hours, a large percentage of activity during the morning hours, and a percentage of activity during the afternoon hours. It is characterized by being relatively low. The numbers attached to the shaded frames in FIGS. 7 and 8 correspond to the numbers of activity amounts in Table 1, and correspond to the shaded portions in the bars indicating the activity ratios in FIGS. is there.

  Such life pattern data is collected and registered in the external storage device 28 as life pattern data of various types including the above example.

  Here, a well-known technique may be used for similarity calculation when determining the life pattern by obtaining the similarity between the actually measured activity rate pattern and the reference life pattern.

  By the way, the determination of the life pattern employs a method of comparing the reference life pattern and determining the life pattern based on the similarity, and predicting the life pattern from the determined life pattern to a certain period later. Yes. As a prediction method, for example, the difference between the standard average value P1 of the activity ratio in each time zone (n) of the reference life pattern and the average value P2 of the activity ratio in the time zone to be compared is expressed as ΔP Then, the ratio of the daily fluctuation is defined by the following equation (dispersion is obtained).

V = Σ (ΔP ² ) − (ΣΔP) ² / n
Based on the size of the variance, the standard lifestyle pattern with the smallest variance is adopted as the lifestyle pattern for the comparison time zone, and the lifestyle pattern from the present time to a certain time later is predicted from this lifestyle pattern. .

  Now, when the life pattern of the measurement target person from the current time to, for example, 24:00 is predicted and determined, the advice function 27c of the calculation unit 27 obtains the calorie consumption from the current time to 24:00 based on the prediction determination result, The amount of calories to be consumed or the amount of calories to be ingested is calculated from the data of the calorie balance results up to the present time, and advice data is generated and transmitted to the user terminal 1 based on the calculation results.

  Here, since it is necessary to perform the transmission process of advice data from the prediction of the life pattern during the login, a central processing element capable of performing high-speed arithmetic processing is used for the arithmetic processing unit 12c.

  The advice content corresponding to the above-described advice data is temporarily stored in the memory unit 10 under the control of the arithmetic processing unit 6 in the user terminal 1, and the measurement target person pushes the input operation unit 2 as necessary. It can be called by the operation of PB1 ... and displayed on the display / notification unit 7. For example, when the total calorie consumption exceeds the total calorie intake at present, the intake is based on the calorie consumption predicted in the future. If the advice message that increases the calorie content is less than the total calorie consumption, the advice message that increases the amount of exercise based on the predicted calorie consumption will be displayed and notified. Presented in Part 7.

  That is, the arithmetic processing unit 6 of the user terminal 1 that has received the advice data, based on the advice data, the data on the calorie intake per unit amount of typical food stored in the memory unit 9 and the typical exercise Call the calorie intake data or calorie consumption data from the food name or exercise name selected by the person being measured from the calorie consumption data per exercise time (exercise amount) corresponding to the appropriate calorie intake or calorie consumption Further, the intake amount of the food corresponding to the proper calorie intake amount or the exercise amount of the exercise corresponding to the proper calorie consumption amount is obtained, and the obtained result is displayed on the display / notification unit 7. For example, when the “food” selected by the person to be measured is “beer”, “beer” is displayed in an easy-to-understand expression such that “being filled with medium jockey” can be consumed. Similarly, in the case of “cake”, “cake” is expressed such that “small one” can be ingested.

  In “exercise”, for example, when “walking” is selected, “distance and time” are expressed in an easy-to-understand manner, such as walking “˜km / ˜min” later. Similarly, “swimming” is expressed as if it is to swim “˜km / min” later.

  As a result, the person to be measured can know the amount of food that does not exceed calories and can perform appropriate exercise. Note that the above time zone classification is an example, and is not particularly limited thereto.

  By the way, in the momentum sensing system of the present invention, the system is constructed using the user terminal 1 of each measurement subject and the server 12, but instead of the server 12, the above-mentioned life pattern determination, prediction, advice, It is also possible to construct a system using a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as a personal computer) 11 that is personally owned by a person to be measured equipped with software capable of storing and reading data. In this case, by exchanging data between the communication unit 8 of the user terminal 1 and the communication unit provided on the personal computer 11 side, a service equivalent to the service provided by the server 12 can be enjoyed.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, in order to provide a service provider to provide data collected from each user terminal 1 of the measurement subject to a provider of an exercise facility such as a fitness club or a supplier that operates a restaurant, Data is exchanged with a vendor terminal via the Internet 15 with respect to the server 12.

(Embodiment 5)
By the way, in the present embodiment, the mobile phone type user terminal 1 ′ is equipped with an imaging camera 18 as shown in FIG. 12, and the imaging camera 18 has a function of capturing a still image or a moving image, and imaging. The second embodiment is different from the fourth embodiment in that the arithmetic processing unit 6 has a function of analyzing the two-dimensional barcode imaged by the camera 18.

  That is, in this embodiment, in a restaurant managed by a service provider in the exercise state sensing system, in addition to a beverage name, a dish name, etc., the two-dimensional data including the beverage and food intake calorie data and the menu data A bar code printed menu is prepared, and a merchant who sells food and drinks prints a two-dimensional barcode 25 consisting of calorie intake data and food and drink data on a food and food package 20 as shown in FIG. When the person to be measured eats and drinks at the restaurant or purchases the corresponding food and drink, after setting the operation mode to the intake calorie input mode described later, the menu or the When the two-dimensional barcode printed on the package is imaged, the arithmetic processing unit 6 reads the two-dimensional barcode from the captured two-dimensional barcode image. It analyzes the data content of the keycode it is possible to incorporate calorie intake amount data of the beverage or food. In addition, at homes and restaurants and homes that are not operated by service providers, input operations using menu data in which beverage names / cook names prepared on the server 12 side and calorie intake data are associated with each other are used. Of course, it is possible to input the calorie intake by searching the menu corresponding to the operation of the unit 2, and it is also possible to directly input a numerical value.

  FIG. 14 shows an example of the operation screen as the user terminal 1 ′ in this embodiment, and FIG. 14 (a) is first displayed on the display / notification unit 7 when the operation screen of the user terminal 1 ′ is called. It is a main menu screen. On this main menu screen, three operations of exercise information display, meal information input, and memory call can be selected. When inputting the calorie intake amount, the meal information input is selected by the key operation of the input operation unit 2. . In this case, the key display is used to move the lighting display position of the circle at the head of the item to select the item, and then perform the confirmation operation.

  When the meal information input is selected and confirmed, the screen is switched to a screen as shown in FIG. This screen is a selection screen for input means. In the case of the present embodiment, as described above, input by imaging a two-dimensional barcode (denoted as two-dimensional barcode) and input using the input operation unit 2 (Character input and notation) can be selected. Further, in character input, direct input for direct numerical input and search input using a menu provided from the server 12 can be selected.

  Next, when a two-dimensional barcode is selected on this screen, input by imaging the two-dimensional barcode can be performed by the imaging camera 18, and for example, when a two-dimensional barcode printed on a lunch box package is captured by the imaging camera 18, calculation is performed. The processing unit 6 analyzes the two-dimensional barcode data and takes in the food and drink data and the calorie intake data, and the display / notification unit 7 shows the name of the food and drink (here, the lunch box) and its intake as shown in FIG. In addition to displaying the calorie content, a menu for selecting whether to eat the food or drink (after eating) or to eat later is displayed. Here, when a two-dimensional barcode is imaged after a meal, the after-meal is selected.

  When this selection is made, as shown in FIG. 14 (d), the screen is switched to a selection screen for asking whether all of the food or drink is left. In this screen, when the portion that has been eaten is selected, the amount left in the window A in the selection item is input as a percentage. The calculation processing unit 6 calculates the intake calorie amount corresponding to the actually consumed amount from the intake calorie amount when all are eaten after the confirmation operation, and switches the result (450 kcal) to the screen shown in FIG. The stored calorie amount is stored in the memory unit 10.

  Of course, when the case of eating all is selected, the calorie intake (for example, 500 kcal) of the lunch box is displayed as it is in FIG. In addition, when a detailed calorie intake amount is input when it is left, if the input is selected, the arithmetic processing unit 8 extracts the names of the ingredients constituting the lunch from the food and drink data included in the two-dimensional barcode. Display the selection screen. When the food item name left by the person to be measured is selected from this selection screen, the arithmetic processing unit 8 calculates the intake calorie amount for each food item remaining from the intake calorie amount for each food item contained in the food and drink data. The amount of calories consumed is subtracted from the amount of calories ingested, and the amount of calories ingested finally is obtained, and the obtained amount of calories ingested is displayed on the screen shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 14C, when eating later is selected, the arithmetic processing unit 8 performs processing for temporarily storing the calorie intake data and food / drink data of the lunch box in the memory unit 10, Return to the standby state from the meal information input mode.

  Then, when the person to be measured eats the bento and inputs the calorie intake, first, the main menu screen of the above-described exercise state sensing is called as shown in FIG. select. When this selection is made, the screen is switched to a screen for operating the data in the memory unit 10 as shown in FIG. On this screen, meal information correction and other operations can be selected, and in the meal information correction, data display temporarily stored in the memory unit 10 and other correction processes can be selected. Here, when the temporarily stored data display is selected, as described above, the calorie intake data and food / drink data that are captured by the analysis of the two-dimensional barcode and temporarily stored in the memory unit 10 are controlled by the arithmetic processing unit 6. Is displayed on the display / notification unit 7 as shown in FIG.

  In the illustrated example, it is shown that data for two lunch boxes is stored, and the measurement target person selects lunch data that he / she has already eaten and wants to input the calorie intake. When this selection operation is performed, the screen is switched to the screen of FIG. Thereafter, when the subject to be measured performs the same operation as that described above after meals, the display screen is sequentially switched to FIGS. 14D and 14E under the control of the arithmetic processing unit 6, and the calorie intake amount is input. Processing will be done.

  Thus, in this embodiment, since the two-dimensional barcode printed on the menu or package is imaged by the imaging camera 18, the calorie intake amount can be input, so that convenience can be improved.

In this embodiment as well, by providing an IC tag reader or a reader for reading a one-dimensional bar code, it is possible to diversify the calorie intake input method.
Moreover, if data on nutritional components other than the calorie intake is taken in, it can be applied to nutritional management.

(Embodiment 6)
The present embodiment uses the transition data of the activity amount of the measurement target person accumulated in the external storage device 28 of the server computer 12 from the user terminal 1 described above, and the level of the burden on the body of the measurement target person By displaying, it is possible to know the state of the body's burden and activity (exercise) during walking and running, and to receive training on appropriate walking and running methods. A system for advising measurement subjects is provided.

  Specifically, the server computer 12 evaluates the activity amount of the subject to be measured, and further evaluates the life rhythm, and the activity amount evaluation that enables the advice function 27c to present the evaluation result to the subject to be measured. An activity amount analysis function 27d including a part 28a and a life rhythm evaluation part 28b is added to the first to fifth embodiments.

  The activity amount analyzing function 27d can be used by remote access to the server computer 12 from the personal computer 11 or the vendor terminal 16 on the measurement subject side. This remote access can be performed by a network constructed using Internet VPN technology or the like. Since the access requires authentication of ID and password, it is limited only to a person to be measured who is a contractor.

  FIG. 16 shows the main operation flow of this embodiment. As shown in this figure, the web server function 27a of the server computer 12 is constructed using the web browser installed in the personal computer 11 or the contract terminal 16. When the main menu M1 of the homepage to be called is called, the daily activity amount is calculated and stored from the transition data of the activity amount of the subject to be measured from the main menu M1, the average of the activity amount for each daily time zone, the variance It is possible to select a data calculation storage M2 that performs calculation and storage, and further calculates and stores an average of activity for a certain period and variance, and a report display M3 that browses stored data and evaluation contents.

  In the report display M3, the activity data stored after the calculation, the analysis data display M311 for displaying the result of activity evaluation and the evaluation result for life rhythm, which will be described later, and confirmation of various data stored as csv files are displayed. The display M32 for can be selected.

  Now, in order to receive the activity amount evaluation and the life rhythm evaluation of this embodiment, first, the person to be measured needs to define the daily life pattern himself and pass it to the server computer 12.

  When this definition input is selected from the main menu M1 to save data calculation M2, a definition input screen page is sent from the Web server function 27a of the server computer 12 and displayed on the browsing screen of the Web browser. The subject to be measured sets and inputs the relationship between the time zone classification and the time according to the display on this screen. For example, time zone 0: (sleeping): 23:00 (00 minutes) to 5:00 (59 minutes), time zone 1: (commuting): 6:00 (00 minutes) to 9:00 (59 minutes), time zone 2: (Morning activities): 10:00 (00 minutes) to 12:00 (59 minutes), time zone 3: (Afternoon activities): 13:00 (00 minutes) to 15:00 (59 minutes), time zone 4: (evening activities) : 16:00 (00 minutes) to 19:00 (59 minutes), time zone 5: (preparation for dinner going to bed): 20:00 (00 minutes) to 22:00 (59 minutes).

  When there is a definition input, on the server computer 12 side, the activity amount analysis function 27d that has received the definition input through the Web server function 27a creates a time zone setting file, for example, as shown in Table 2 for calculation to be described later, and stores it externally. Store in device 28.

  In the definition input screen described above, the measurement subject specifies the period during which the time period reference activity amount is created. At that time, the standard activity amount may or may not be divided into flat and holidays. Also specify whether to use the standard activity amount.

  If there is this designation input, the activity analysis function 27d of the server computer 12 calculates the reference activity amount (template) designated by the calculation means (calculation function) provided in the server computer 12 and stores the calculation of the reference activity amount (template) stored in the external storage device 28. Read out the transition data of the activity amount of the measurement subject.

Assuming that daily activity transition data is measured every minute, for example, assuming that each measured value is a _i, and the average activity amount (Ah _k ) per hour,
Ah _k = Σ (a _i ) / 60 (1)
Then, the average Ap ₁ of the activity amount for each time zone in the lifestyle defined as described above is defined as follows.

Ap ₁ = Σ (Ah _k ) / n (2)
(Where n is the number of hours in each time zone)
In this way, the average Ap ₁ of the activity amount for each time zone is calculated every day.

On the other hand, the reference activity amount is defined as an average value A _{l_tmpp} and a variance V _{l_tmp} of an average activity Ap ₁ for each time period in a period in which the reference activity amount designated as described above is created.

Therefore, the average value _{Al_tmpp} is
_{A l_tmpp = Σ (Ap l)} / N ... (3)
(N is the number of days for calculating the standard activity).

In accordance with the formulas (1) to (3), the average value A _{l_tmpp} and the variance value V _{l_tmp} are calculated based on the time zone defined as described above.

  When such calculation is completed, the external storage device 28 stores it in association with the subject to be measured.

  As described above, the time zone division can be defined and input by the subject himself / herself according to the individual life pattern of the subject to be measured, but several types of time zone divisions can be prepared in advance on the server computer 12 side as a standard. Is possible. For example, based on the data of (NHK Broadcasting Culture Research Institute “Data Book National Lifetime Survey 2000 nationwide” NHK Publishing Issued March 10, 2001 issue), it can be defined based on the activity time statistically processed from personal attributes Is possible. In this case, the personal attribute is determined by the occupation of the measured person himself / herself, and this personal attribute is stored in advance in association with the ID for each measured person on the service provider side by the occupation registered at the time of the contract or the like. By registering in the database of the measurement subject within the device 28, the time zone classification is automatically set based on the attribute of the measurement subject when the data calculation storage is selected. You may make it define based on. In this case, a table of each attribute and the activity amount corresponding to the reference activity amount is created, and the activity amount corresponding to the attribute of the measurement subject is read from the table and used as the reference activity amount.

  Next, when the person to be measured selects the report display M3 from the main menu M1, the Web server function 27a of the server computer 12 sends Web page data as shown in FIG. 17 to the personal computer 11 or the vendor terminal 16 and the Web browser. Displayed on the browsing screen. On this screen, data confirmation M32 and data analysis M31 can be selected by clicking a tab.

  FIG. 17 shows a state in which the data analysis M31 is selected. On this screen, a radio button BT1 for instructing an activity amount graph display, a radio button BT2 for instructing life rhythm analysis, and a radio button for instructing display of health advice Corresponding to the activity graph display, BT3 is displayed, and a field Ia for inputting a start date to be displayed, and further one of three types of time-activity amount display, time-activity level display, and time zone activity ratio display Radio buttons BT11 to BT13 for selecting are provided.

  Thus, when the activity amount graph display is selected and the time-activity amount is selected, the activity amount for 24 hours (one day) as shown in FIG. 18 is displayed in a bar graph form. In FIG. 18, the activity amount display and the step count display can be selected by radio buttons BT4 and BT5. It is also possible to select one day before, one day later, and the like.

  When the time-activity amount ratio is selected, as shown in FIG. 19, the activity amount ratio for each hour is displayed in a bar graph (i) in the form of color-coding the ratio of each activity level per hour. In this screen, energy consumption including basal metabolism for each hour is displayed in a line graph (b). When the number of steps is being measured, the display is based on the number of steps.

  Further, when the activity ratio display by time zone is selected, the daily exercise rate is displayed in a bar graph form as shown in FIG. 20 (a), and further displayed in a pie chart for each time zone <(b) ~ (F)>.

  In the screen of FIG. 18, a field Ib for inputting the start date of the target data corresponding to the life rhythm analysis display, radio buttons BT21 and BT22 for selecting the display for a week and a month, and a target to be compared are displayed. A check box CB for selecting how many weeks ago and how many months ago is provided.

When the life rhythm analysis is selected here, the activity amount evaluation unit 28a of the activity amount analysis function 27d evaluates the activity amount using the provided comparison means (comparison function). In this case, first, the above-described average value _{A1_tmpp} is set as the reference activity amount (template) of the measurement subject. A comparison between the reference activity amount and the average Ap ₁ of the activity amount for each time period of the day, here, the deviation rate is calculated. The deviation rate ΔA1 is defined by the following equation. In addition, l shows each time slot | zone.

_{ΔA l = (Ap l -A l_tmpp} ) / A l_tmpp ... (4)
When the divergence rate is positive, the activity is larger than the reference activity, and when it is negative, the activity is less than usual.

  Here, the server computer 12 is provided with a reference table for evaluation as shown in Table 3 according to the magnitude of the deviation rate, and is stored in the external storage device 28.

Although the above evaluation is performed based on the deviation rate, the evaluation can also be performed using the above-described variance V _{l_tmp} .

  In this case, for example, a reference table as shown in Table 4 is used.

  Next, the life rhythm evaluation unit 28b of the activity amount analysis function 27d evaluates the life rhythm. The evaluation of the life rhythm in this case is judged from the history of the activity value evaluation values described above. For example, if the time zone with the most activity in each time zone is the time zone 1 defined as described above, the relationship between the evaluation value or average activity amount and the date from the long-term data (1 week or more) in the time zone 1 Ask for. The evaluation as performed in the above-described evaluation of the activity amount is performed according to the slope when the average activity amount is approximated by a linear function with respect to the increase in the date. In addition, the periodicity is evaluated, and if a periodicity of about one week is confirmed, it is judged that the person is living a standard life, and there is no periodicity, and the above-mentioned inclination tends to be negative. If there is, notify that there is a tendency of instability of life rhythm and activity amount.

   FIG. 21 shows a display example of the life rhythm when the one-week display is selected. In this case, the change in the ratio of the amount of activity specified for each day is shown in a bar graph, and the transition of energy consumption including basal metabolism Is displayed as a line graph. Note that the number on the leftmost vertical axis indicates the 100 minutes, and the rightmost vertical axis indicates the calorie consumption corresponding to the energy consumption. In this case, the ratio change display of the activity amount is performed for the selected time zone at a rate where the activity amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

  When the monthly display is selected, the display is as shown in FIG. 22. In this case, the average amount of activity is displayed in a line graph corresponding to the defined time zone classification. In FIG. 22, the numbers in circles in the graph indicate the time zone categories defined as described above.

  Further, when health advice is selected, as shown in FIG. 23, the category having an activity amount of 4 or more is displayed in a bar graph shape, and the transition of energy consumption is displayed in a line graph shape.

  At this time, text for giving advice to the measurement subject is displayed on the graph display. This sentence is preset and registered in association with the above-described evaluation value. For example, the wording of 4 levels × 3 indices corresponding to the exercise / activity index, and the wording of 4 levels as the comprehensive index, respectively. Created in advance and registered in the external storage device 28, based on the evaluation results of the activity amount evaluation unit 28a and the life rhythm evaluation unit 28b, the advice function 27c is converted from these words and displayed as described above.

  18 to 23 is received by the Web server function 27a from the function 27d or 27c and a Web page for display is created, and this Web page is displayed on the browsing screen of the PC 11 or the Web browser of the vendor terminal 16. Thus, the person being measured can know his / her activity level and can receive advice on improving his / her life.

  In the present embodiment, the server computer 12 is provided with the activity analysis function 27d. However, the personal computer 11 and the vendor terminal 16 owned by the person to be measured are loaded with software for application of activity analysis, and the personal computer 11 and the vendor terminal 16 are provided.
