  Furthermore, when the user is a woman, the device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention has a function of measuring and notifying a physical condition period appearing in a monthly cycle from the personal data as a diet function for women. Hereinafter, the control process including the measurement of the body composition and the diet function for women will be described.

  The flowchart of FIG. 3 shows a control process (registration mode) when registering personal data such as when the user uses the apparatus 1 for the first time. When the user presses the set key 6c to activate the device 1, this registration mode is executed.

  In step S1, the user's personal number is determined. Since four numbers 1 to 4 are displayed as personal numbers on the liquid crystal screen 5, the user uses the up key 6a and the down key 6b to select any one as his / her personal number, and the set key. Determine according to 6c. Next, in step S2, it is confirmed whether personal data has already been registered for the selected personal number. If registered, the process proceeds to step S3, and if not registered, the process proceeds to step S4. In step S3, an option for re-registration is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 5. If the user selects the option for re-registration, the process proceeds to step S4, but the option for not re-registering is selected. If selected, the registration mode is terminated and the power is automatically shut off.

  In step S4, the user's date of birth is input. The liquid crystal screen 5 displays numbers representing the year, month, and day. The user uses the up key 6a and the down key 6b to increase or decrease each number to match his / her date of birth, and the set key 6c. decide. In the control device 10, the age of the user is calculated by comparing the input date of birth with the current date indicated by the built-in clock. Next, in step S5, the gender of the user is input. The liquid crystal screen 5 displays male and female choices, and the user selects his / her gender using the up key 6a and the down key 6b, and decides with the set key 6c. Next, in step S6, the height of the user is input. A number representing the height is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 5, and the user increases / decreases the number using the up key 6a and the down key 6b to match his / her height and decides with the set key 6c.

  In step S7, it is determined whether the user is a woman based on the input in step S5. When it is a woman, it progresses to step S8, but when it is a man, it progresses to step S10. In step S8, the diet function for women based on the present invention is made effective by the woman who is the user. The liquid crystal screen 5 displays a choice as to whether or not to set a diet function, and the user selects one using the up key 6a and the down key 6b, and determines with the set key 6c. If the selection to set the diet function has been made, the process proceeds to step S9. If the selection to not set has been made, the process proceeds to step S10.

  In step S9, the previous menstrual start date M ′ is input. The liquid crystal screen 5 displays a comment prompting the previous menstruation date to be input and a number representing the month and day, and the user increases or decreases each number using the up key 6a and the down key 6b. It is determined by the set key 6c according to the start date. Next, in step S10, the personal number selected in step S1 and the personal data such as age, sex, height, and previous menstrual start date M 'input in steps S4 to S9 are stored in the storage device 16 as a set. . As described above, all control processes in the registration mode are completed, and the power is automatically shut off after a predetermined time (for example, about 15 seconds) has elapsed. During this predetermined time, the input personal data may be displayed on the liquid crystal screen 5 for confirmation by the user. Of course, the power may be cut off by the user pressing the power cut-off key 8 to cut off the power.

  The flowchart of FIG. 4 shows a control process (measurement mode) when the user uses the apparatus 1 to measure his / her body composition and physical condition period. When the user activates the apparatus 1 by pressing the foot key 7 (any one of 7a to 7d) in which his / her personal data is registered, this measurement mode is executed.

  In step S11, it is confirmed whether or not the personal data corresponding to the personal number of the pressed foot key 7 has been registered. If it has been registered, the process proceeds to step S12. If it has not been registered, this measurement mode is terminated. At the end, the fact that personal data is not registered may be displayed on the liquid crystal screen 5 for a predetermined time to prompt the user to register. In step S12, it is confirmed whether or not the diet key 6d has been pressed. That is, the apparatus 1 is configured to measure the physical condition period by pressing the diet key 6d at the same time as or immediately after the foot key 7 is pressed. Accordingly, in step S12, the diet key 6d is pressed. If it is confirmed, the process proceeds to step S13 to execute the physical condition period measurement process, and if the pressing of the diet key 6d is not confirmed, the process proceeds to step S14 to perform the body composition measurement process.

  Here, the physical condition period measurement process in step S13 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the flowchart of FIG. 5, first, in step S131, it is confirmed whether or not the female diet function is set to be valid. If it has been set, the process proceeds to step S132. If it has not been set, the physical condition period measurement process is terminated, the process returns to the main routine of the measurement mode (FIG. 4), and the measurement mode is also terminated. At the end, the fact that the female diet function is not set may be displayed on the liquid crystal screen 5 for a predetermined time to prompt the user to set it.

  In step S132, the current menstrual start date M is input. On the liquid crystal screen 5, a comment prompting the input of the menstrual date and a number representing the month and day are displayed, and the user increases or decreases each number using the up key 6a and the down key 6b to start the current menstruation. The date is determined by the set key 6c according to the date. Next, in step S133, the menstruation start date M input in step S132 is compared with the previous menstruation start date M ′ registered as personal data. If the two are different, the process proceeds to step S134. This physical condition period measurement process is terminated and the process returns to the main routine of the measurement mode (FIG. 4), and the measurement mode is also terminated as it is.

  In step S134, the menstrual cycle is calculated. That is, the average of the period from the previous menstrual start date M ′ to the current menstrual start date M (latest menstrual cycle) and the past menstrual cycle already calculated and stored in the storage device 16 is the menstrual cycle. Calculated. If the past menstrual cycle has not yet been saved, such as when the apparatus 1 is used for the first time, the period from the previous menstrual date M ′ to the current menstrual date M is taken as the menstrual cycle. Here, the following description is continued assuming that the menstrual cycle is calculated as 28 days.

  In step S135, “menstrual period” which is one of the physical condition periods is calculated. In this device 1, the menstrual period is preset as the first four days in the menstrual cycle starting from the menstrual start date. Therefore, as schematically shown in FIG. 6, the period (a) corresponding to the first 4 days in the menstrual cycle starting with the menstrual start date M is calculated as the menstrual period.

  In step S136, a “relaxation recommended period” that is one of the physical condition periods is calculated. In this apparatus 1, the recommended relaxation period is set in advance as 14 days including the last day of the menstrual cycle. Accordingly, as schematically shown in FIG. 6, the period (e) corresponding to the last 14 days including the last day in the menstrual cycle 28 days is calculated as the recommended relaxation period.

  In step S137, a “diet chance period” which is one of the physical condition periods is calculated. In this device 1, the diet chance period is set as a period from the end of the menstrual period to the start of the relaxation period. Accordingly, as schematically shown in FIG. 6, the period (b) corresponding to the remaining 10 days excluding the initial menstrual period of 4 days and the recommended period of relaxation in the latter half of 14 days from the 28 days of the menstrual cycle is the diet chance period. Is calculated as

  In step S138, the “change period”, which is a feature of the present invention, is calculated. In this device 1, the change period is switched to the relaxation recommended period from the diet chance period to the four days before and after switching from the diet chance period to the relaxation recommended period, that is, the two days immediately before switching from the diet chance period to the relaxing recommended period. It is set as two days immediately after the replacement. Therefore, as schematically shown in FIG. 6, a period (c) corresponding to the last two days including the last day of the diet chance period and a period (d) corresponding to the first two days including the start date of the recommended relaxation period. Is calculated as the change period.

  In step S139, the menstrual start date M input in step S132 is updated as the previous menstrual start date M ', and the updated previous menstrual start date M' and the menstrual cycle calculated in steps S134 to S138 and Each physical condition period is stored in the storage device 16 as personal data corresponding to the personal number. As described above, the physical condition period measurement process is completed, the process returns to the main routine of the measurement mode (FIG. 4), and the measurement mode is also terminated as it is. Since this physical condition period measurement process is automatically executed except for step S132, the user is recognized as a menstruation input mode in which the menstruation start date M is input.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 4 again, the description of the control process when the process proceeds from step S12 to step S14 will be continued.

  In step S14, the weight of the user and the bioelectrical impedance between both feet are measured. That is, when the user stands on the upper surface 2c of the mounting table 2b with the left sole in contact with the energizing electrode 3a and the measuring electrode 4a and the right sole in contact with the energizing electrode 3a and the measuring electrode 4a, the weight sensor 13 Is measured, and an alternating current is supplied between the right and left soles via the conductive electrodes 3a and 3b, and a voltage (potential difference) between the left and right soles is measured via the measurement electrodes 4a and 4b. Then, the bioelectrical impedance between both feet is measured from these current value and voltage value. Next, in step S15, based on the age, sex and height registered as the user's personal data, and the weight and bioelectrical impedance measured in step S14, the user's body fat, visceral fat, body water, Body composition such as muscle, bone, basal metabolism, etc. is calculated. Next, in step S16, the weight and body composition data measured and calculated in steps S14 and S15 are stored in the storage device 16 corresponding to the user's personal number, and in step S17, the measured and calculated weights are stored. And body composition data are displayed on the liquid crystal screen 5 alternately in sequence for a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds). In addition, since the control process from step S14 to S17 does not change with a conventionally well-known body composition meter, the description beyond this is omitted.

  In step S18, it is confirmed again whether or not the diet key 6d is pressed. That is, in this apparatus 1, when the user presses the diet key 6d while the measurement result of the body composition is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 5, the physical condition period measured in step S13 is notified. It is configured. Therefore, if it is confirmed in step S18 that the diet key 6d is pressed, the process proceeds to step S19 to execute the physical condition period notifying process, but if the pressing of the diet key 6d is not confirmed, all the measurement mode control processes are completed. Thus, when the predetermined time for displaying the weight and body composition data has elapsed, the power supply is automatically shut off.

  The physical condition period notifying process in step S19 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the flowchart of FIG. 7, first, in step S191, it is confirmed whether or not the female diet function is set to be valid. If it has been set, the process proceeds to step S192. If it has not been set, this physical condition period notifying process is terminated, the process returns to the main routine of the measurement mode (FIG. 4), and the measurement mode is also terminated. At the end, the fact that the female diet function is not set may be displayed on the liquid crystal screen 5 for a predetermined time to prompt the user to set it.

  In step S192, the current date and time updated by the internal clock of the control device 10 corresponds to the day in the menstrual cycle calculated in step S134, that is, the number of days elapsed from the menstrual start date is the current menstrual period. Calculated as a periodic day. Next, in step S193, whether the current menstrual cycle date calculated in step S192 corresponds to any of the periods (a) to (e) in FIG. 6 calculated in steps S135 to S138, that is, a woman who is a user. The physical condition period to which the current physical condition belongs is calculated. Next, in step S194, the number of days until the current physical condition period calculated in step S193 is switched to the next physical condition period, that is, the remaining number of days in the current physical condition period is calculated. Next, in step S195, the current menstrual cycle date calculated in steps S192 to S194, the current physical condition period, and the remaining days of the current physical condition period are notified to the user by the liquid crystal screen 5 and the light emitter 9.

  In step S195, for example, if the present day is the third day of the menstrual cycle, that is, if the current physical condition belongs to the menstrual period, the liquid crystal screen 5 displays “3rd day of menstrual cycle” as shown in FIG. Is displayed. At this time, in the light emitter 9, all the LEDs 9a, 9b, and 9c are kept off. The liquid crystal screen 5 may display that the current period is menstrual period.

  In step S195, for example, if the present day is the ninth day in the menstrual cycle, that is, if the current physical condition belongs to the diet chance period, the liquid crystal screen 5 first displays “menstrual cycle as shown in FIG. 9th day "is displayed, followed by" 5 days after diet chance ", and these are alternately displayed repeatedly for a predetermined time (for example, every 5 seconds). At this time, in the light emitter 9, only the LED 9a is turned on, and the LEDs 9b and 9c are kept off.

  In step S195, for example, if today is the 13th day in the menstrual cycle, that is, if the current physical condition is in the diet chance period and belongs to the change period immediately before switching to the relaxation recommended period, the liquid crystal screen 5 is displayed. As shown in FIG. 8 (c), “Menstrual cycle 13th day” is displayed first, followed by “1 day after diet chance”, and these are alternately displayed at predetermined time intervals (for example, every 5 seconds). It is displayed repeatedly. At this time, in the light emitter 9, the LED 9a is turned on, the LED 9b is blinked, and the LED 9c is kept off.

  In step S195, for example, if today is the 16th day in the menstrual cycle, that is, if the current physical condition is in the recommended relaxation period and belongs to the change period immediately after switching from the diet chance period, the liquid crystal screen 5 As shown in FIG. 8 (d), “menstrual cycle 16th day” is displayed first, followed by “relaxation period”, and these are repeatedly displayed alternately every predetermined time (for example, every 5 seconds). Is done. At this time, in the light emitter 9, the LED 9c is turned on, the LED 9b is blinked, and the LED 9a is kept off. Note that the remaining number of days in the recommended relaxation period may be displayed on the liquid crystal screen 5.

  In step S195, for example, if today is the 25th day in the menstrual cycle, that is, if the current physical condition belongs to the recommended relaxation period, the liquid crystal screen 5 first displays “menstrual cycle as shown in FIG. "25th day" is displayed, followed by "relaxation period", and these are alternately displayed repeatedly for a predetermined time (for example, every 5 seconds). At this time, as for the light emitter 9, only the LED 9c is lit, and the LEDs 9a and 9b are kept off. Note that the remaining number of days in the recommended relaxation period may be displayed on the liquid crystal screen 5.

  The notification of the physical condition period in step S195 is continued for a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds), and when this predetermined time has elapsed, the physical condition period notification process ends and the process returns to the main routine of the measurement mode (FIG. 4), and the measurement mode is also continued Will end. For example, when the diet key 6d is pressed during step S195, the weight / body composition display in step S17 may be executed again.

  As described above, in this device 1, the control device 10 mainly constitutes a physical condition period measuring means for measuring the physical condition period appearing in the monthly cycle of the woman who is a user, and the control device 10 and the light emitter 9 are mainly composed of this woman. The physical condition period informing means for informing the physical condition period to which the present physical condition belongs is configured. That is, the control device 10 measures a diet chance period (first physical condition period) appearing in the woman's monthly cycle and a relaxation recommended period (second physical condition period) appearing subsequent to the diet chance period. Then, the light emitter 9 controlled by the control device 10 lights up the LEDs 9a and 9b corresponding to each physical condition period by selecting the physical condition period to which the current physical condition of the woman belongs from the diet chance period and the recommended relaxation period. In addition to notifying by flashing, immediately before the current physical condition switches from the diet chance period to the recommended relaxation period, immediately after switching from the diet chance period to the recommended relaxation period, or before and after switching from the diet chance period to the recommended relaxation period In the change period (predetermined period), the LED 9a or 9b corresponding to each physical condition period is turned on and lighted, and the LED 9c corresponding to this change period is flashed and notified.

  Therefore, with this device 1, the time when the diet chance period is about to end, the time when the recommended relaxation period is about to begin, the time when the diet chance period is about to end, or the time when the recommended relaxation period is about to end It is possible to easily and surely notify the user that the start time has come, and this can be realized at low cost.

  As mentioned above, although the physical condition management apparatus for women by the present invention and the embodiment thereof have been described in detail, the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the embodiment, as long as the configuration described in the claims is provided. In addition to the various modifications described in conjunction with the embodiments, various other modifications are possible. For example, two days before and after the change from the menstrual period to the diet chance period or two days before the end of the relaxation recommended period may be notified using the LED 6c as the change period. In addition, the change period can be set to 3 days, or can be set to only 1 day. Of course, it is also possible to notify the change period on the liquid crystal screen 5. Furthermore, it can be considered that the measurement of the physical condition period appearing in the monthly cycle is performed with high accuracy using the bioelectrical impedance used for calculating the body composition. On the contrary, it is also possible to provide a simple female physical condition management device that omits the body composition measurement function. Or you may combine with the thermometer etc. for measuring a woman's basic body temperature.
