If so, 2 points, if 3000 steps or more and less than 4500 steps, 1 point, and if less than 3000 steps, 0 points.

The dietary health index shall be 5 points if the blood glucose level estimated from the input information related to the dietary content is within the range of 80 to 140 mg / dL throughout the day, and the magnitude and frequency of deviation from 80 to 140 mg / dL. The score is 4 to 0 depending on the situation.

The sleep health index is 5 points if the sleep time is 7 hours or more and the user does not feel tired after sleeping, and 4 to 0 points depending on the shortened sleep time and the feeling of fatigue after waking up. To do.

The defecation health index is given once a day, 5 points for defecation of normal stools, and 4 to 0 points depending on the decrease in the number of defecations and deterioration of stool quality (loose stools, etc.).

Then, the health index calculation unit 21 totals the walking health index, the dietary health index, the sleep health index, and the defecation health index, and calculates the health index. Since the four indexes constituting the health index are 0 to 5 points, the health index is represented by 0 to 20 points. The calculated health index is stored in the storage unit 24.

[Affect index calculation function]
In calculating the emotional index, the touch panel 11 accepts input of information regarding the user's emotions. Specifically, the "laugh-angry" axis ("joy-anger" axis), the "fun-spicy" axis ("fun-sadness" axis), and the "surprise-manner" axis ("stimulation-manneri" axis). For each of the three emotional axes, the user himself indexes the degree of feeling each emotion in five stages, and accepts input for the index value. The index for each axis is 5 points as the emotions of "laughing" (joy), "fun" (enjoyment), and "surprise" are larger, and conversely, "angry" (anger) and "spicy" (sadness). ), The larger each emotion of "manneri" (not surprised), the more 0 points are given. The input index related to each emotion axis is transmitted from the smart watch 10 to the server device 20 and stored in the storage unit 24.

The emotion index calculation unit 22 totals the indexes of the three emotion axes and calculates the emotion index. Since the three indexes constituting the emotion index are 0 to 5 points, the emotion index is represented by 0 to 15 points. The calculated emotion index is stored in the storage unit 24.

[Future life satisfaction index calculation function]
The future life satisfaction index calculation unit 23 calculates the future life satisfaction index based on the health index calculated by the health index calculation unit 21 and the emotion index calculated by the emotion index calculation unit 22. Here, the future life satisfaction index predicts the satisfaction of the subject's life in the future based on the material and mental factors in the present life, more specifically, the behavior and emotion, and predicts this. It is an index. In this embodiment, the future life satisfaction index is divided into four stages, A to D.

As shown in FIG. 2, the emotion index (vertical axis) is plotted against the health index (horizontal axis), and the future life satisfaction index is set to four depending on which region on the plot diagram P the plot is located. Classify. When the plot is in the first area 31 (health index: 10 to 20 points, emotional index: 8 to 15 points), the future life satisfaction index is "A", and the future life satisfaction is high. is expected. When the plot is in the second region 32 (health index: 0-10 points, emotional index: 8-15 points), the future life satisfaction index is "B", which makes the future life satisfaction higher. For that purpose, it is desired to improve the behavioral life at present. When the plot is in the third region 33 (health index: 10 to 20 points, emotional index: 0 to 7 points), the future life satisfaction index is "C", which makes the future life satisfaction higher. For this reason, it is currently desired to improve the emotional life. When the plot is in the fourth area 34 (health index: 0-10 points, emotional index: 0-7 points), it is predicted that satisfaction with life will be low in the future, and living in both behavior and emotions at present. Is desired to be improved.
