Description

  The present invention relates to a meal balance display system for displaying a meal balance state of a selected meal menu on a display device based on a meal balance guide (supervised by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare) formulated by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.

  In recent years, lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia have become a problem with changes in the living environment. Lifestyle-related diseases tend to forget that daily meals are important during a busy life, and dietary habits such as insufficient vegetable intake and excessive intake of salt and fat are considered as one of the factors. For this reason, it is generally said that it is important for lifestyle-related disease prevention to review daily lifestyle habits and to eat moderately balanced and nutritionally balanced.

  In recent years, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries have also introduced a diet balance guide (supervised by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries) as part of the dissemination and enlightenment for the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases and the realization of a healthy and rich diet. (Hereinafter simply referred to as a “meal balance guide”). This meal balance guide provides an easy-to-understand illustration of how to eat “how” and “how much” in a day. It is color-coded. From the top of the top, the main food, side dishes, main dishes, milk and dairy products, and fruits are represented in 6 groups, with the upper group taking more and the lower going down. Moisture is expressed as an axis, and a meal that does not break the balance of this top is formed to show a meal with a good nutritional balance. Furthermore, in order to think about meal balance, the unit of quantity is the number of servings based on the weight of each dish, using the amount of daily dishes as a guide, so that you do not have to calculate the energy and quantity. The unit of (SV, meal provision amount) is set, and some SV values are expressed numerically. The standard daily dose is 5-7 (SV) for staple foods, 5-6 (SV) for side dishes, 3-5 (SV) for main dishes, and 2 for milk and dairy products. (SV) and two fruits (SV).

  The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries website has a trial page that allows you to easily try what kind of meal you should eat according to the meal balance guide. In this trial page, menus for the daily meal, morning, noon, and evening are selected to display the daily meal balance.

  In addition, as a method for taking a nutritionally balanced meal, Patent Document 1 proposes a system that delivers a nutritionally balanced nutritional lunch box to a designated place.

The display device 12 is installed with each software of layout editing software, nutrition value calculation software, food registration software, meal balance support software having a POP advertisement (Point of Purchase) printing function, LAN (Local Area Network), etc. Connected to the communication network 14. In addition to a printing device 16 such as a printer connected via a communication network 14, a file server 18 formed from a personal computer is also connected, and a template database 20, a nutrition value database 22, and a food database 24 are stored therein. ing. The template database 20 stores various template data that defines a printing format when printing a POP advertisement. The nutritional value database 22 stores nutritional value data of each food used for the meal menu, and the food database 24 includes foods including cooked items that are cooked dishes constituting the meal menu (here, The identification requirements such as food category definition, food group, and food within the group are stored. Each database is formed by storing files in a prescribed format in folders preset in the file server 18.

  Here, each software installed in the display device 12 will be described. First, the layout editing software creates and edits a template that defines a print layout for POP advertisements and stores the template in the template database 20. In the template, attributes such as the position and size of a plurality of print items such as top image, food image, food name, and font type are defined in the display area of the POP advertisement. The nutritional value calculation software calculates the nutritional value data of foods from the nutritional value data of various ingredients used in foods based on the Japanese Food Standard Composition Table (Science and Technology Agency Resource Research Committee). It is stored in the database 22. The food registration software sets cooking category definitions, food groups, and foods by group as food identification requirements, and stores information such as the sales price and quantity of each food in the food database 24. The meal balance support software is formed so as to be able to adjust the amount by selecting the food composing the meal menu, calculate the SV value, and form and display the top image, the food image, and the like. In addition, a POP advertisement for the displayed food is created and printed. For printing the POP advertisement, a template selected from the template database is used, food information is acquired from the food database, and an image obtained by synthesizing the print image of the POP advertisement is displayed in a printable manner. In addition, it also has a function as front-end software for calling the above software.

  Next, the process of the meal balance display system 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, first, when the meal balance support software is activated on the display device 12, an initial screen is displayed (S1). On the initial screen, start buttons for starting each software are arranged so as to be arbitrarily selectable. At this time, the data of each database used for each software is copied from each database formed in the file server 18 to each temporary folder so as to be edited. At this time, when accessing the database file being copied, an exclusive process for restricting the access is executed. This exclusive processing is performed by Copying., Which represents copying in the database folder. When an in file is generated and the file exists in the folder, the file import or copy process (including reload) is executed with a waiting time of several ms. This is repeated a predetermined number of times, and if the predetermined number of times is exceeded, an error message is displayed. Then, after copying is completed, Copying. The in file is deleted, and the edited file is moved to and stored in each predetermined database. When the reload button on the initial screen of the meal balance support software is selected, each data used by each software from each database is re-imported into a temporary folder, and the file is updated (S2).

  First, a case where a template is created or edited will be described. The layout creation button displayed on the initial screen of the meal balance support software is selected, and the layout editing software is activated (S3). Subsequently, the target template to be created or edited is selected from the form template that defines the arrangement in the printing paper or the object template that defines the print items. When a form template is selected for editing, a screen that images the form template is displayed. The form template images an A4 size paper, and is set by selecting from several arrangement conditions in which the arrangement position of the POP advertisement image is defined. Various information in the POP advertisement image is defined by the object template. The object template defines attributes such as positions, sizes, fonts, and the like of a plurality of print items such as top-quality images, food images, and food names that can be rearranged by dragging with the mouse. Then, the template whose layout has been set and edited by the layout editing software is stored in a predetermined folder by overwriting an arbitrary file name or existing file forming the template database.

  Next, the case where nutrition value calculation is performed will be described. The nutrition value calculation button displayed on the initial screen of the display device 12 is selected, and the nutrition value calculation software is activated (S4). When an arbitrary ingredient is selected from the ingredient table displayed on the screen, the nutritional value per 100 g is calculated and added to the selection table. When the amount of ingredients added to the selection table is changed, the amount of each nutritional value is recalculated and redisplayed. When all ingredients necessary for the food are selected and the amount is also set, the nutritional value of the food is calculated and displayed for each component. This data is stored as a nutritional value data of food in a predetermined folder by overwriting an arbitrary file name or an existing file forming the nutritional value database.

  Next, a case where food registration as a product is performed will be described. The product registration button displayed on the initial screen of the display device 12 is selected, and the food registration software is activated (S5). Then, as a requirement for identifying the food to be registered, first, a cooking category is set. Subsequently, the main group, the sub group, and the food in the group are set as appropriate in order. Each sorting condition is divided into five groups of meal balance guides in the cooking section. The main group is divided according to the main ingredients used. The subgroups are divided according to the main cooking method divided by the main group. The in-group food is a food sorted according to the above grouping conditions. Then, the nutrition value data file of the food registered in the nutrition value database is taken in, and the food identification requirements are stored in the food database as a CSV format file. At this time, if subgrouping is not required, the food is registered in the food in the group without setting the group name in the subgroup. The nutritional value data of the food can be the nutritional value data of the food calculated using freeware or the like for calculating the nutritional value of the food without using the information stored in the nutritional value calculation software.

  Next, a case where food is displayed as a meal menu will be described. When the POP advertisement print button displayed on the initial screen of the display device 12 is selected, a food selection screen 26 shown in FIG. 4 is displayed (S6). Subsequently, as in the process shown in FIG. 3, the dish category 32 on the screen displayed by the food selection button 30 is selected (S7). If the food number of the food to be selected is known, enter the number and select Enter. Further, when selecting from the food category 32, a specific button is selected from the food category buttons 32 displayed on the screen. Then, based on the data acquired from the food database 24, a list menu of the corresponding main group is popped up on the display device 12. When a desired main group is selected, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, a button 34 with an image of the food group classified into subgroups is displayed. Furthermore, when the button 34 with an image image is selected, as shown in FIG. 6, a button 36 with a cooking example image representing the food of the selected food in the group is displayed. At this time, handling information 38 indicating whether or not the food can be purchased at the store is automatically displayed on the image called by the button 34 with the image image, and the food identification requirement acquired from the food database 24 is displayed. Comments are composited and displayed.

  Here, when the button 34 of the food to be eaten in FIG. 5 is selected, if the amount of the food is adjustable, a screen for adjusting the amount is displayed as shown in FIG. By the adjustment button 40 on this screen, the amount can be appropriately adjusted in units of 1 g, and the amount can be changed. When the determination button 42 is selected, as shown in FIG. 7, the food image 44 is displayed in the lower part of the screen, and at the same time, the SV value is calculated and displayed, and the SV value is also reflected in the solo image 46. If multiple foods are selected, this procedure can be repeated. The top and bottom images 46 and SV values to be displayed on the screen can be switched over to a single item or all items of the selected food by the designation button 47 or the whole button 49.

  When printing the POP advertisement of the selected food, the screen is switched to the print screen by the print button 48 on the screen (S8). When these are respectively selected by the object template button 53 and the form template button 55, as shown in FIG. 8, a food image, SV value, and a top-of-the-line image illustration 50 are displayed as a composite diagram of the POP advertisement and displayed on the screen. The printed contents can be printed. At this time, if the quantity or price is not correctly combined, or if it is desired to change the notation, the individual change button 52 is selected (S9). Then, as shown in FIG. 9, an individual change screen capable of changing the selling price, the food unit, and the manufacturer / production area is displayed. When the change is finished and the print button 48 for POP advertisement print display is selected, the POP advertisement print screen shown in FIG. 8 is displayed, and printing is performed by the print execution button 54 (S10). Then, the printing device 16 prints a POP advertisement 56 as shown in FIG. 10 on A4 paper.

  Here, a method for calculating the SV value will be described. The SV value is calculated by setting a guide amount of food to be ingested along a meal balance guide. One SV value (SV) is 2/3 or more and less than 1.5 times the reference amount, and thereafter, 2 (SV) between 2.5 times and less than 2.5 times, 2.5 times or more and 3.5 times or more. It will increase in order of 3 (SV) with less than double. In addition, in the method of reflecting the SV value on the solo music image, fragment images that match the elements of the five groups are held in advance so that a solo music image can be formed. Then, when the SV value is calculated, the fragment images that match the calculated food position data are combined to synthesize a solo image.

  According to the meal balance display system 10 of this embodiment, by selecting a food to be eaten and configuring a meal menu, the nutritional value of the food constituting the menu is automatically calculated, and the nutritional value is calculated as a top image. It can be displayed as an SV value. For this reason, it is possible to display information on nutritional value easily and without taking time, and display information that can be taken in a balanced manner, based on a meal balance guide. Moreover, since the SV value and the top-of-mouth image to be displayed can be switched between all selected foods or any single item, foods can be added / deleted to ensure proper feeding, so that one meal or one meal The SV value of each case can be calculated.

  In addition, POP advertisements for displayed foods used at supermarkets can be printed, so by setting food information and printing templates in advance, after selecting foods, specify the quantity and template name. Thus, it is possible to easily print a POP advertisement with a target layout. Furthermore, the printed POP advertisement can be freely laid out with a meal balance guide top image, SV value, food image, food name, price, place of production, etc. Automatically changed. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the man-hour for the printing work of the POP advertisement. Further, since the printing format is formed by a template, if a plurality of templates are created in advance, printing can be arbitrarily selected at the time of printing.

  The meal balance display system of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and each database can be set as a display device and can be operated all together on one personal computer, so that the configuration can be selected as appropriate. Is.
