Description

  The present invention relates to a portable terminal that collects and provides information on personal health management. In particular, the present invention relates to a meal / health management system, method, and program for managing calorie intake and meal chewing time in real time during a meal.

  Conventionally, in order to propose an appropriate next meal in consideration of the analysis of the meal that the meal restrictor has eaten last time, the previous dish is transmitted as image data from the terminal of the meal restrictor to the server, and the server uses this image data. Send to the analyst's terminal to request analysis of food contained in the dish, the result of the analysis is returned to the server, and the nutrient component according to the specified nutrient component and analysis result required by the dietary restriction person in the server And a plurality of next food groups including food supplementing the deficient nutrient components are selected, and a proposal menu consisting of the food groups is transmitted to the terminal of the dietary restrictor or the supporter who takes care of the dietary of the dietary restrictor. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  In addition, conventionally, it is possible to improve the accuracy of calorie calculation based on meal images, and to make it possible for a doctor to effectively use acquired calorie data. Images (total pre-meal image and uneaten image, etc.) are taken and sent to the server, the pet terminal sends vital data, etc. to the server, and the nutritionist uses the nutritionist terminal to create multiple meal images per meal. Capture and accurately calculate the calorie intake and send it to the server. The doctor connects to the server from the doctor terminal located in the doctor's office, and when the user visits the user's vitals Some of them browse data and calorie intake and use it for medical care (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  Also, conventionally, in order to be able to easily obtain the calorie of a meal taken at the time of eating out, a meal taken with a mobile phone with a camera is taken to obtain ingested meal image data, which is a food and drink representing a restaurant during the meal The ingested meal image is transmitted to the calorie intake support device together with the store information, and the calorie acquisition means refers to the calorie database in which a plurality of meal images and calories are associated based on the restaurant information and the ingested meal image data. Corresponding meal image data and calorie information corresponding to the data are acquired, and the corresponding meal image data and calorie information are transmitted to a camera-equipped mobile phone and displayed on a liquid crystal monitor (for example, see Patent Document 3).
