[0030]
Next, in the system configured as described above, a processing procedure in a case where an image indicating a virtual walking distance or an expected body shape of a user is recorded on the card 40 based on an input of momentum will be described.
[0031]
(Display of image showing virtual walking distance)
First, a processing procedure in the case of recording an image indicating the virtual walking distance on the image recording surface of the card 40 based on the input of the amount of exercise will be described with reference to FIG.
[0032]
The user measures the number of steps using the pedometer 35. Then, the user inserts the card 40 into the card insertion slot 50 a of the card processing device 50 of the personal computer 31.
In this case, the personal computer 31 reads out the user identifier recorded on the magnetic recording surface of the card 40 via the card processing device 50 (step S1-1). Next, the user displays an exercise amount input screen on the personal computer 31, selects “walking” as the exercise type, and inputs the number of steps measured by the pedometer 35. When accepting these inputs (step S1-2), the personal computer 31 transmits exercise amount data having a user identifier, an exercise type, an exercise amount, and an acquisition date to the management computer 21 (step S1-3). Here, a code indicating “walking” is set as the exercise type. The number of steps is set as the amount of exercise. The date on which these data are input is set as the acquisition date.
[0033]
In addition, when a user performs exercise other than walking, the type of exercise is selected and the amount of exercise is input on the exercise amount input screen. For example, when exercising with the exercise equipment 36 not provided with the card processing device 50, the user selects the type of exercise and inputs the amount of exercise on the exercise amount input screen by the personal computer 31. Further, the measurement and input of the amount of exercise may be performed by the exercise equipment 32 connected to the card processing device 50. In this case, specifically, when the user exercises using the exercise equipment 32, the exercise equipment 32 measures the amount of exercise and transmits the exercise amount data to the management computer 21. Here, the type of exercise by the exercise equipment 32 is set as the exercise type, and the amount of exercise by the exercise equipment 32 is set as the amount of exercise, respectively. When the exercise equipment 32 calculates energy consumption, a code indicating “consumed energy calculation” is set as the exercise type, and energy consumption is set as the amount of exercise. In this case, the management computer 21 does not calculate energy consumption based on the amount of exercise in step S1-4 described later.
[0034]
When the amount of exercise data is received, the management computer 21 calculates energy consumption based on the number of steps in the amount of exercise data (step S1-4). Specifically, the management computer 21 extracts the conversion information 220 from the conversion information storage unit 22 based on the exercise type in the exercise amount data. Based on the unit exercise amount a2 and the unit consumption energy a3 of the conversion information 220, the energy consumption corresponding to the number of steps in the exercise amount data is calculated. Next, the management computer 21 records the personal history information 240 in which the user identifier b1, the acquisition date c1, and the energy consumption c2 are set in the personal history storage unit 24 (step S1-5). Here, the user identifier b1 and the acquisition date c1 use the user identifier and the acquisition date of exercise amount data. The calculated energy consumption is used as the energy consumption c2 of the personal history information 240. Further, the management computer 21 adds the calculated energy consumption to the accumulated energy consumption b10 read from the personal information storage unit 23 by the user identifier b1 (step S1-6). The management computer 21 stores the calculated accumulated energy consumption b10 in the personal information storage unit 23 (step S1-7).
[0035]
Next, the management computer 21 extracts the service type b3 from the personal information storage unit 23 using the user identifier b1 (step S1-8). Here, it is assumed that “Hakone Ekiden Course” is set as the service type b3. Then, the management computer 21 converts the calculated accumulated energy consumption b10 into display information (step S1-9). Here, the management computer 21 calculates the walking distance based on the walking distance per unit energy consumption set in advance and the calculated accumulated energy consumption b10. Next, the management computer 21 extracts display information of “Hakone Ekiden Course” set as the service type b3 from a storage unit (not shown). Then, display information set to display a portion corresponding to the calculated walking distance with a thick line is generated (step S1-10).
[0036]
Here, a case where “Hakone Ekiden Course” is set will be described with reference to FIG. When “Hakone Ekiden Course” is set as the service type b3, the walking distance in the walking course and the health check result are recorded on the image recording surface of the card 40 as shown in FIG. On the image recording surface, a pre-recorded display 61 and a rewritable rewritable display 62 are displayed. Here, as the rewritable display 62, a user name 63, a user identifier 64, walking information 65, and health check information 66 are displayed. The walking information 65 includes a recording date 67, a message 68 indicating the current virtual walking distance, an image 69 indicating the walking course, and a message 70 indicating the distance to the target point. Further, in the image 69 showing the walking course, a portion corresponding to the current virtual walking distance is displayed by a thick line 71. The health check information 66 includes the measurement date 72, the latest measurement value 73, the initial measurement information 74, and the target value 75 for the body weight, blood pressure, and body fat percentage.
[0037]
The user name 63 and the user identifier 64 are displayed based on the user name b2 and the user identifier b1 in the personal information storage unit 23. The recording date 67 is the date when recording was performed. The message 68 is a virtual walking distance calculated based on the accumulated energy consumption b10 and a place name corresponding to the virtual walking distance in the “Hakone Ekiden Course”. The image 69 is an image preset as “Hakone Ekiden Course”. A portion corresponding to the virtual walking distance is displayed by a thick line 71. The message 70 indicates the distance calculated based on the distance from the departure point to the destination and the virtual walking distance.
[0038]
The measurement date 72 and the measurement value 73 of the health check information 66 are set based on the personal history information 240. The initial measurement information 74 and the target value 75 are set based on the personal information 230.
[0039]
The management computer 21 transmits the rewritable card recording data having this display information and accumulated energy consumption to the personal computer 31 (step S1-11). Upon receiving this, the personal computer 31 performs recording on the card 40 based on the rewritable card recording data (step S1-12). Specifically, the card processing device 50 of the personal computer 31 forms an image on the image recording surface of the card 40 based on the display information of the rewritable card recording data, and records the accumulated energy consumption on the magnetic recording surface.
[0040]
Note that the ranking may be displayed among participants in the same course by designating a period. Specifically, the energy consumption for each user in a specified period is calculated using the personal history information 240, and the rank is obtained based on the energy consumption. Moreover, you may display the order in not only among the participants of the same course but all users. Further, for example, in the case of the first place, the past ranks in the same period in the past may be displayed. Further, the service may be changed by changing the service type b3. For example, the “Hakone Ekiden Course” is changed to another virtual course. In this case, the accumulated energy consumption b10 so far may be used.
[0041]
(Display of image showing user's expected figure)
Next, a case where an image indicating the user's expected body shape is recorded on the image recording surface of the card 40 based on the input of the amount of exercise will be described. When the service type b3 in the personal information storage unit 23 is changed to “predicted body type display”, an image indicating the user's predicted body type is recorded on the image recording surface of the card 40. Note that the processing in this case is the display of the image indicating the virtual walking distance described above, except that the “predictive body display” is extracted in step S1-8, and the processing in steps S1-9 and S1-10. Same as the case.
[0042]
When the service type b3 in the personal information storage unit 23 is changed to “predicted body type display”, “predicted body type display” is extracted as the service type b3 in the above-described step S1-8. And the management computer 21 calculates | requires a predicted body type in step S1-9. Specifically, the management computer 21 obtains the predicted body shape of the user based on the height c3, the weight c4, the blood pressure c5, and the body fat percentage c6 of the personal history information 240, for example, from “too thin” to “overweight” Assign to each stage. At this time, the management computer 21 adjusts the stage allocation for the predicted figure based on the cumulative energy consumption b10 of the personal information 230 and the current energy consumption c2 of the personal information 230 on the day.
[0043]
In step S1-10, the management computer 21 generates display information indicating an image indicating the user's body shape. Specifically, the management computer 21 generates display information for displaying an image showing the sorted body shape. In this case, an overweight person image 81 shown in FIG. 9A and a lean person image 82 shown in FIG. 9B are displayed on the image recording surface. Note that the image indicating the expected body shape of the user may be synthesized using a photograph of the user.
[0044]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
In the above embodiment, an image is recorded on the card 40. Therefore, the recorded image can be rewritten. Moreover, since the card 40 is lightweight, it is easy to carry and the user can always carry it around.
