  In the primary diagnosis, the degree data output determining means 14 determines whether or not to output the degree data stored in the food data storage means 11 in association with the eating food displayed by the eating food display means 13 according to the degree. To do. Specifically, if a value indicating the number of cups (eg, a minimum value of 0.33 or more) is stored in the degree data, the value of the degree data is output.

  The degree data output determining means 14 can be configured to determine whether or not to output based on, for example, the total value for each meal unit of the value indicating the number of cups. If the degree of data is a symbol such as ◯ or Δ, it can be configured to determine whether to output based on the total number of each meal unit of ◯.

  The eating habit tendency output means 15 outputs the degree data determined to be output by the degree data output determination in the primary diagnosis as the eating habit tendency for each meal unit. In the present embodiment, four meals, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack (or night meal) are output.

  Specifically, the eating habit tendency output means 15 is configured to display the degree data as the eating habit tendency in a degree data display region R132 such as a primary diagnosis result screen (for each day) (FIG. 13). At that time, the degree data as eating habits is displayed on the screen as a red circle (●). For example, a check mark such as a single circle (○), double circle (◎), or a check mark. The display mode is not limited to this, such as screen display.

  Further, the data output by the eating habit tendency output means 15 is configured to be stored in the food data storage means 11 by a predetermined operation.

  Whether or not the nutrient data presence / absence judging means 16 stores the nutrient data as the amount of nutrients in the food data storage means 11 for each ingredient constituting the eaten food displayed in the eaten food display means 13 in the primary diagnosis. In the secondary diagnosis, for each ingredient constituting the improved food displayed by the improved food display means in the secondary diagnosis, the nutrient data is stored in the food data storage means 11. It is judged about a plurality of food groups. Specifically, the operation of the nutrient data presence / absence determining means 16 in the primary diagnosis will be described with reference to FIG. 22. For example, if the food to be eaten is “nigiri assortment”, this eating food “nigiri assortment” is configured. For each ingredient “rice”, “sugar / sweeteners”,..., “Spices / others”, see if the nutrient “protein” is stored. And since the amount of the protein “protein” 6.3, 7.3, etc. is stored in the ingredients “rice” and “tuna / swordfish”, etc., the nutrient “protein” in the food “nigiri assortment” Judge that the amount of nutrients is stored. Similarly, other nutrients “lipid”, “carbohydrate” and the like are determined. The operation in the secondary diagnosis is the same. The nutrient data presence / absence judging means 16 judges whether or not data indicating whether or not each nutrient is contained is stored for a plurality of food groups instead of judging by the amount of the nutrient. You may comprise. In this case, instead of the nutrient amount data stored in the food data storage means 11, data indicating whether or not each nutrient is contained may be stored as nutrient data.

  When the ingested food group output means 17 determines that the nutrient data presence / absence determination means 16 stores the nutrient data or the nutrient data indicating that the nutrient is present in the food data storage means 11, the nutrient data The food group to which the food data stored in the food data storage means 11 in association with is output as a food group consumed by the user in the primary diagnosis, and output as a food group that can be consumed by the user in the secondary diagnosis To do.

  Specifically, in the primary diagnosis, the ingested food group output means 17 provides a plurality of food groups (cereals, potatoes and starches, beans, vegetables, green-yellow vegetables, The ingested food group check column R133 provided for each of the fruits, seaweed, seafood, meat, eggs, and milk is displayed in a state of being filled in red. For the food group that is not output as ingested by the ingested food group output means 17, the ingested food group check column R133 is displayed in a white state. Since it is the same for the secondary diagnosis, the description is omitted.

  Further, the data output by the ingested food group output means 17 is configured to be stored in the food data storage means 11 by a predetermined operation.

  The advice data storage means 18 stores a plurality of pieces of advice data for displaying advice related to meals, and intake / ingestion data indicating whether or not a staple food, a main dish, and a side dish have been taken (or taken). Therefore, it is formed in at least one predetermined area of the internal memory 102 or the external storage device 103.

  Specifically, for example, “Every meal should be taken as a staple food, main dish, and side dish (breakfast, lunch, dinner)” as advice data. What is stored in association with the data indicating that “not even one of the vegetables is ingested” or “adequate staple food, main dish, side dish” (breakfast, lunch, “Dinner” ”is stored in association with data indicating that“ the staple food, the main dish, and the side dish are all ingested ”as the presence / absence data.

  The advice data extraction means 19 extracts advice data corresponding to the degree data determined to be output in the degree data output determination from the advice data storage means 18 based on the intake presence / absence data.

  Specifically, for example, if the degree data determined to be output in the degree data output determination is to output only the fact that the staple food has been taken, the advice data storage means 18 corresponds to the degree data. Extract the advice data “Make sure to take staple food, main dish, and side dish (breakfast, lunch, dinner)”.

  The advice data output means 20 outputs the advice data extracted by the advice data extraction means 19 in the primary diagnosis. This advice data output means 20 does not prevent the advice data output means 20 from being configured to output advice data even in the secondary diagnosis.

  When the “next” button B153 is touched on the screen (step S120), the diagnosis end screen shown in FIG. 15 is displayed (step S121), and the “end diagnosis” button B161 is touched on the screen. If so (step S122), the primary diagnosis is terminated.

  As described above, the dietary life diagnosis apparatus P1 according to the present embodiment specifically displays the food image as a selection candidate that allows the user to select an image equivalent to the food that the user has eaten or eaten. For example, while pointing to the food image, you can easily and accurately answer questions about meals such as “Did you eat this?” Or “Did you eat this amount?” Because the degree data output judgment and the eating habits trend output means 15 etc., the user has taken a staple food, a main dish, or a side dish, and it is in a tabular form with a symbol such as a red-filled circle. You can know at a glance whether or not you took a meal, for each meal unit.

  In other words, while performing communication with the user smoothly, it is possible to perform accurate input without the need for input (especially the load of a dietitian), and further, the tendency of eating habits can be determined for each meal. It is possible to provide a highly functional dietary diagnosis apparatus P1 that can know whether or not a side dish is ingested in a very specific form such as a symbol (red circle) and as an accurate result.

  Further, the food is composed of one or a plurality of ingredients classified into a plurality of food groups, and the food data storage means 11 includes the ingredient data that can identify the ingredients and the nutrients contained in each ingredient. Nutrient data indicating the amount or presence / absence is stored in association with the food code, and the food data storage unit 11 stores each of the ingredients constituting the food to be displayed by the food display unit 13. The nutrient data presence / absence judging means 16 for judging a plurality of food groups whether the nutrient amount or the nutrient data that the nutrient is present is stored in the food data storage means 11. When it is determined that the nutrient amount or nutrient data that the nutrient is present is stored, the food data storage is associated with the nutrient data. Since the food group to which the food data stored in the stage 11 belongs is provided with the ingested food group output means 17 that outputs the food group as the food group ingested by the user, It is possible to know in detail whether or not each food group has ingested.

  Further, advice data storage means 18 for storing a plurality of advice data for displaying advice on meals and intake presence / absence data indicating whether or not staple foods, main dishes and side dishes have been taken, and the degree data output determination The advice data extracting means 19 for extracting the advice data corresponding to the degree data determined to be output from the advice data storage means 18 based on the intake presence / absence data, and the advice data extracted by the advice data extracting means 19 are output. Since the advice data output means 20 is provided, the tendency of the user's eating habits can be shown as advice relating to a very specific meal related to a staple food, a main dish, and a side dish, It is effective for the user.

  Further, the food is composed of one or a plurality of ingredients classified into a plurality of food groups, and the food data storage means 11 includes the ingredient data that can identify the ingredients and the nutrients contained in each ingredient.

In other words, it can be easily known compared to the ideal value.

  Further, the food is composed of one or a plurality of ingredients classified into a plurality of food groups, and the food data storage means 11 includes the ingredient data that can identify the ingredients and the nutrients contained in each ingredient. Nutrient amount data indicating the amount is stored in association with the food code, and is stored in the food data storage unit 11 in association with the eaten food displayed by the food display unit 13 Based on the quantity data, among the nutrients taken by the user, the three major nutrient energy composition ratio calculation means 24 for calculating the composition ratio of each intake energy quantity of protein, lipid, and carbohydrate with respect to the total energy quantity of the day , The composition ratio of each intake energy amount of the three macronutrients assumed to be ingested by the user calculated by the three macronutrient energy composition ratio calculation means 24; Since the three major nutrient energy composition ratio output means 25 outputs a component ratio that is predetermined as each intake energy amount of the three major nutrients to be consumed by the user in a state that can be compared, Compared with the three major nutrients to be ingested, in other words, the excess and deficiency of the three major nutrients that are particularly important to the user can be easily found by comparing with the ideal value. At this time, since each component ratio of the three macronutrients when the total intake energy amount of the three macronutrients is set to 100 is output, the excess or deficiency can be known very easily.

  In addition, images of a plurality of foods are displayed for each display group, and the food data storage unit 11 stores the food code and the display group in further cooperation. The selection candidate display unit 12 refers to the display group stored in the food data storage unit 11 when displaying the selection candidate, and displays each reference display group for reference. Therefore, even when the number of foods is large, food images can be displayed for each display group, and thus the dietary life diagnosis apparatus P1 can be made very easy to use. .

  In addition, a selection operation detection unit 26 is provided for detecting whether or not a selection operation for selecting the eating food has been performed on the eating food displayed by the eating food display unit 13, and the selection operation detection unit 26 selects the selection operation. When the selection candidate display means 12 detects that there is a food image that is stored in the food data storage means 11, the food image belonging to the same display group as the food that has undergone the selection operation is displayed. Therefore, the operability can be improved at the time of food selection, such as when an appropriate food is selected from a large number of foods.

  In addition, since the food display unit 13 displays the food image based on the food image display data stored in the food data storage unit 11, the communication with the user can be performed more smoothly. Can be done.

  Furthermore, since the degree data corresponds to the number of cups used to count the rice or liquid in the bowl, the degree data matches the way the food is counted in the actual meal, so It is easy to install and can be operated smoothly.

  Moreover, since the input interface 104 used when selecting the food equivalent to the food eaten / drinked by the user from the food images displayed by the selection candidate display means 12 is configured with a touch panel or the like, for example, Even a user who is completely unfamiliar with the operation of the personal computer can easily operate the dietary diagnosis device P1 as a general-purpose device that can be handled by a wide range of users.
