The 3D model creation means 12, the body shape change analysis means 16, the motion analysis means 17, the motion suggestion means 18, and the control means 19 are realized by, for example, a computing function of the computer, and the history storage means 14 and the motion information database 18a are stored in the computer. It is constructed in an external storage device.

  The body shape acquisition means 11 is provided by a plurality of (e.g., 8 in FIG. 3) CCD cameras 11a installed so as to surround the standing position of the measurement subject B (A part in FIG. 2A and FIG. 3). Thus, each CCD camera 11a acquires image data obtained by photographing the person to be measured B from different angles as physical information. An individual ID number is assigned to each CCD camera 11a, and a 3D model is created by pairing the image data acquired by the body shape acquisition means 11 and the ID number of the CCD camera 11a that captured the image data. It is output to the means 12. The standing position of the person to be measured B is designated in advance, and for example, the standing position is indicated by a foot-shaped mark 5 displayed on the floor 4 in front of the vanity unit 2. Further, at the time of measurement, the person to be measured B is assumed to take a posture in which both hands are opened horizontally so that the physical information of the person to be measured B can be accurately acquired.

  The 3D model creation means 12 creates a three-dimensional model that represents the body shape of the person to be measured based on the body information input from the body shape acquisition means 11, and sets the dimensions of a predetermined part such as the waist circumference or chest circumference. Calculated as body data.

  Here, a specific method for creating a three-dimensional model will be described below. In the 3D model creation means 12, basic human body model data imitating a human body shape created using a virtual three-dimensional geometric shape design language such as VRML is stored in advance. Further, the 3D model creation means 12 includes polygons constituting a basic human body model when it is assumed that a person corresponding to the basic human body model is photographed by each CCD camera 11a and the ID number and installation position information of each CCD camera 11a. And the image data of the background image photographed by each CCD camera 1 in the absence of the person to be measured B are registered. Thus, in the 3D model creation means 12, when the image data photographed by the CCD camera 11a from the body shape acquisition means 11 and the ID number of the CCD camera 11a are inputted as a pair, the inputted ID number is inputted. The body image of the person B to be measured is read from the image photographed by the CCD camera 11a by reading the background image photographed by the same CCD camera 11a based on the above and performing the difference calculation between the input image data and the background image. Recognize and separate. When the 3D model creation unit 12 performs a process of cutting out the body part of the person to be measured B for all the image data input from the body shape acquisition unit 11, the basic human body model using the cut out body part image as a template. The position coordinates of the vertices of the polygons constituting the above are corrected, and a three-dimensional model imitating the body shape of the person to be measured B is created. Further, the 3D model creating means 12 obtains the position coordinate information of specific points such as the navel, nipple, armpit, elbow, etc. from the image data of the body part cut out by performing the above-described processing, and the color and luminance of each pixel in the image. Obtained based on the information, and using the position coordinate information of each specific point and the three-dimensional model created by the above processing, body shape data such as waist circumference, chest circumference, arm thickness, etc. are calculated and obtained The body shape data and the three-dimensional model are output to the history storage means 14 and the screen display means 15.

  The date / time unit 13 always keeps the current date and time (date and time), and outputs the current date and time information to the history storage unit 14. The sundial time means 13 may be provided with means (not shown) for the user to set the current date and time.

  The history storage means 14 stores history information in which the 3D model and body data input from the 3D model creation means 12 and date / time information input from the sundial time means 13 are associated with each other. As an example of the history information, a history of body data for one month of a person is shown in Table 1 below.

  In addition, regarding the body shape data, an error from the actual measurement value is taken into consideration, and the change may be displayed with the initial measurement value set to 1. When the person to be measured B instructs the body data history display using the input / output means 20, the control means 19 makes the screen display means 15 from the history storage means 14 according to the instruction content input from the input / output means 20. A three-dimensional model and body shape data corresponding to the instruction content can be output and displayed on the screen display means 15.

  The screen display means 15 is composed of a monitor device such as a liquid crystal panel incorporated in the mirror 3 of the vanity table 2 as shown in FIG. 2, and the 3D model creating means 12 or the history storage means 14 or both are three-dimensionally displayed. When the model and body shape data are input, they are displayed in a predetermined area on the screen (see FIG. 2A). At the time of photographing by the CCD camera 11a, the control means 19 graphically displays on the screen of the screen display means 15 the correct posture to be taken at the time of measurement. To get it right. FIG. 4 shows an example of a screen displayed by the screen display means 15. In this example, the posture to be taken by the person to be measured B is displayed by the dotted line C at the center of the primary mirror 3a by the screen display means 15 and a 3D model is created. The three-dimensional model created by the means 12 is displayed in the area surrounded by the dotted line C. Here, since the screen display means 15 is incorporated in the mirror 3 of the bathroom vanity 2, there is no need to provide a separate installation place for the screen display means 15, and the entire unit can be reduced in size and cost. As the screen display means 15, a part of the mirror 3 (the central part of the main mirror 3 in FIG. 4) is formed in a half mirror as shown in FIG. 4, and a flat panel display such as a liquid crystal display is provided on the back side of the half mirror. A so-called mirror liquid crystal may be used. If the screen display means 15 is turned on, the display of the screen display means 15 can be seen through the half mirror, and the screen display means 15 is turned off. The entire surface of the mirror 3c can be used as a mirror surface.

  The input / output means 20 includes a microphone 20a and a speaker 20b incorporated in the vanity unit 2, and synthesizes a question and an instruction to the person to be measured B and outputs them from the speaker 20b. The voice is converted into an electrical signal by the microphone 20a and voice recognition processing is executed, thereby performing a voice dialogue with the person to be measured B and acquiring the instruction content. Alternatively, an input device (not shown) such as a numeric keypad may be used as the input / output means 20, and the person to be measured B may manually input the instruction content directly by operating the input device. This input / output means 20 is used to generate a 3D model representing the body shape of the person to be measured B (that is, an instruction to start measurement), to analyze a change in body shape, to display a 3D model, and to analyze an exercise content. And an instruction content such as an instruction to display exercise information. The input content is a body shape acquisition unit 11, a history storage unit 14, a body shape change analysis unit 16, and a motion analysis unit 17 via the control unit 19. And output to the exercise proposing means 18.

  The body type change analysis means 16 is configured to receive a past three-dimensional model inputted from the history storage means 14 when an analysis instruction inputted by the measured person B using the input / output means 20 is inputted via the control means 19; The body shape change is analyzed by comparing with the current three-dimensional model input from the 3D model creating means 12. For example, the body shape change analyzing means 16 determines the change in body shape by comparing the position coordinates of the vertices of the polygons constituting the two three-dimensional models, and the information on the part where the body shape has changed is displayed on the screen display means 15. Output. The body shape change analysis means 16 calculates the amount of change from the past body shape data input from the history storage means 14 and the current body shape data input from the 3D model creation means 12, and uses the calculated value as the exercise data. While outputting to the analysis means 17, the information of the site | part which changed is output to the exercise | movement proposal means 18. FIG.

  The exercise proposing means 18 includes an exercise information database 18a in which information relating to exercise for narrowing each part of the human body and information relating to exercise for training each part of the human body are registered in advance. The motion suggestion means 18 receives information on the part where the body shape has changed from the body shape change analysis means 16 or when the user requests motion information about a specific part using the input / output means 20. When the requested content is input via the control means 19, the exercise information that matches the body change part and the user's proposal request is extracted from the exercise information database 18 a and output to the screen display means 15. Table 2 below is an example of the exercise information registered in the exercise information database 18a, and the name of the exercise registered for each part of the human body and the file name indicating the content of the exercise are registered.

  In the exercise analysis means 17, exercise data (name of exercise, etc.) performed on the day using various exercise equipment (not shown) connected to the body type measurement device 10 is input, or When exercise data input by the user using the input / output means 20 (names of exercises performed on the day such as abdominal muscles and push-ups) are given via the control means 19, these exercise data and body type change analysis means 16 Analyze the relationship with the input data of body shape change. Here, exercise information acquisition means is constituted by exercise equipment for outputting exercise data to the exercise analysis means 17, input / output means 20 for inputting exercise data, and the like. However, since the body shape does not change immediately after exercise for one day, it is assumed here that the exercise continues for a certain period of time, and the exercise analysis means 17 is the body type within that period. The effect of exercise is evaluated by determining the amount of change (for example, the amount of change per week). That is, if the measurement data of a certain part on the t-th day after starting a certain exercise is M (t), the change amount ΔM (t) of the measurement data from one week before a certain day t (t> 8) is It is represented by the following formula (1). The average value avr (ΔM (t)) of the change amount ΔM of the measurement data for each week is expressed by the following equation (2).

  The motion analysis means 17 obtains the change amount ΔM (t) of the body data of each part of the human body and the average value avr (ΔM (t)) using the above formulas (1) and (2). Table 3 shows the waist circumference change amount and the average value calculated using the formulas (1) and (2) based on the history information shown in Table 3, and Table 4 shows the chest circumference change amount and the average value, respectively.

  Here, the motion analysis means 17 determines whether or not the abdominal muscle motion is effective in shaping the waist circumference and chest circumference. When evaluating the diet effect due to exercise, the exercise analysis means 17 determines that the exercise is effective if, for example, the average value of the body type change amount within a certain period is negative, as shown in Table 3. Since January 8, one week after the start of the exercise, the average value of the waist circumference change value is negative, so it is determined that the abdominal muscle exercise is effective in shaping the waist circumference. Also, as shown in Table 4, since January 8, one week after starting exercise, the average value of chest change is always 0 or more. The motion analysis means 17 determines that there is no effect.

  Next, various operations by the body shape measuring apparatus 10 of the present embodiment will be described below. When the person to be measured B stands at the standing position A and instructs the start of measurement using the input / output means 20, the input / output means 20 gives an instruction to start the measurement to the control means 19. At this time, the control means 19 controls the screen display means 15 to display the posture that the person to be measured B should take at the time of measurement, and controls the body shape acquisition means 11 to acquire body information. When the body shape acquisition unit 11 captures an image of the person B to be measured by each CCD camera 11a, the image data captured by each CCD camera 11a is paired with the ID number of the CCD camera 11a and output to the 3D model creation unit 12. To do. The 3D model creating means 12 creates a 3D model representing the body shape of the person to be measured B using image data taken by each CCD camera 11a, calculates body shape data of each part, and obtains the 3D model and body shape data. Output to the history storage means 14 and the screen display means 15. At this time, the screen display means 15 displays the three-dimensional model input from the 3D model creation means 12 on the screen.

  When the person to be measured B inputs a body shape change analysis instruction using the input / output means 20, the control means 19 outputs the analysis instruction input from the input / output means 20 to the body shape change analysis means 16, and the body shape change analysis means. In 16, the past three-dimensional model and body data stored in the history storage means 14 are compared with the current three-dimensional model and body data to determine whether there is a change in body shape. The part where the body shape has changed is specified, and the result is output to the screen display means 15, the exercise analysis means 17, and the exercise suggestion means 18. At this time, in the screen display means 15 as the first notification means, when the information on the part whose body shape has changed is input from the body shape change analysis means 16, the part whose body shape has changed is displayed on the screen, The person B can be informed of the change in body shape.

  Still further, when the body shape change analysis means 16 detects a change in body shape or when the person to be measured B instructs the motion analysis using the input / output means 20, the motion analysis means 17 inputs from the body shape change analysis means 16. The effect of exercise is analyzed in accordance with the received body shape change information or an instruction command for exercise analysis input from the control means 19. That is, the motion analysis unit 17 calculates the amount of change in a certain part of a dimension (for example, waist circumference or chest circumference) based on the past body shape data and the current body shape data stored in the history storage unit 14. While calculating, the average value of the amount of change is calculated. The exercise analysis unit 17 receives the exercise data acquired by the exercise information acquisition unit, and analyzes the correlation between the exercise performed by the user and the change in body type based on the above calculation result. For example, when analyzing a diet effect due to exercise, the motion analysis unit 17 determines that there is a diet effect if the value of the amount of change is negative, and outputs the determination result to the screen display unit 15 as a second notification unit. In addition, the screen display means 15 displays the presence / absence of the effect of the exercise, whereby the measurement subject B can be informed of the effect of the exercise currently being performed. The exercise data currently being performed by the person B to be measured is that daily exercise data relating to the exercise performed on the day from an exercise device (not shown) is inputted and accumulated in the history storage means 14, and the person himself / herself is also an input / output means. 20 is used to input exercise data relating to exercise performed on the day.

  Further, when the person to be measured B uses the input / output means 20 to instruct the suggestion of the exercise information, the exercise suggesting means 18 is based on the exercise information suggesting command input via the control means 19 and the body shape change analyzing means. The movement information that matches the proposed command is extracted from the movement information database 18a and output to the screen display means 15 for the part whose change is specified by 16, and the movement information that meets the request of the person to be measured B is presented. be able to.

  As described above, in the body shape measuring apparatus 10 of the present embodiment, the body shape obtaining unit 11 obtains body information related to the body shape of the person being measured in front of the installation place of the bathroom vanity 2, and the person to be measured is obtained. If the person stands in front of the vanity before and after bathing, the body information of the person to be measured is automatically obtained, so that the body information can be obtained without imposing a measurement burden on the person to be measured. In addition, since the person to be measured is naked before and after bathing, it becomes possible to accurately acquire the body information of the person to be measured, and the 3D model creation means 12 can measure the body based on this body information. Since the 3D model representing the body type of the person B is created and the body type data is calculated, it is possible to obtain a 3D model and body type data with less errors. Further, the three-dimensional model and body type data obtained by the 3D model creating unit 12 are stored in the history storage unit 14 in association with the date and time information, and the past body type data and the current body type data stored in the history storage unit 14 are stored. Is displayed by the screen display means 15, so that the user can grasp the past and present figure numerically, and can visually confirm from various angles. The screen display means 15 can display the past three-dimensional model and the current three-dimensional model stored in the history storage means 14 at the same time. For example, as shown in FIG. By displaying the three-dimensional models C1 and C2 representing the body shapes side by side, the past and current body shapes can be easily compared. Further, if the past and present three-dimensional models C1 and C2 are overlapped and displayed using the screen display means 15 as shown in FIG. 2C, it becomes possible to grasp the change in the body shape more easily. In FIG. 2C, the three-dimensional model C1 indicated by a solid line indicates the current body shape, and the three-dimensional model C2 indicated by a dotted line indicates the past body shape.

  The body shape change analyzing means 16 compares the position coordinate information of the vertices of the polygons based on the past and present three-dimensional models and the history of the body shape data, or performs a difference evaluation of the body shape data to detect the body shape change. Analyzing and identifying the part where the body shape has changed, the changed part is displayed on the screen display means 15 to notify the subject, so if there is a change in the body shape or if the body shape changes The change site can be visually confirmed, and the analysis result by the body type change analysis means 16 can be used for management of the body type.

  Furthermore, since the motion analysis means 17 analyzes the correlation between the motion being performed by the person being measured and the region where the body shape has changed, the presence or absence of an effect on the body shape due to the motion can be confirmed. Based on the correlation between change and exercise, it is possible to find exercise useful for body shape management.

  Further, in the exercise proposing means 18, when the body shape change analyzing means 16 detects a change in body shape, or when the user inputs a motion information suggestion request using the input / output means 20, the corresponding motion information from the exercise information database 18a. Since the information is extracted and displayed on the screen display means 15, it is possible to easily acquire exercise information regarding the region where the body shape has changed, or exercise information regarding the region of interest, and the displayed exercise information can be obtained from the body shape. Can be used for management.

The body shape acquisition means 11 determines the control amount of each motor based on the detection angle of each angle sensor 6, rotates the horizontal mirrors 3b, 3c to a preset angle by the motor, and then the horizontal mirror 3b. , 3c, an image of the person to be measured B is taken by the CCD camera 11a. Here, the opening angles (that is, photographing angles) of the horizontal mirrors 3b and 3c are set at least as many as necessary to create a three-dimensional model, and when the CCD camera 11a finishes photographing at a certain setting angle, The shape acquisition means 11 controls the motor to rotate the horizontal mirrors 3b and 3c to another set angle, and then takes a picture of the person to be measured B with the CCD camera 11a, and the number of opening angles set in advance. Only the horizontal mirrors 3b and 3c are moved, and photographing is performed by the CCD camera 11a.

  In this embodiment, since the CCD camera 11a is not installed on the back side of the person to be measured B, the front side of the person to be measured B is photographed by the CCD camera 11a installed on each of the mirrors 3a to 3c of the three-sided mirror 3. When finished, the rear side is also photographed in the same manner with the person to be measured B facing back. For example, when the body shape acquisition unit 11 finishes photographing on the front side, it outputs a signal notifying the end of photographing to the control unit 19, and the control unit 19 uses the input / output unit 20 in response to this signal input. A voice message instructing the user to face is output from the speaker 20b. When the person to be measured B turns back in accordance with the instruction and emits a sound for instructing the start of measurement, the input / output means 20 converts the sound of the person to be measured B into an electrical signal using the microphone 20a, and performs a voice recognition process. Thus, the measurement start command is acquired, and the control means 19 starts imaging by the body shape acquisition means 11 in accordance with the measurement start command input from the input / output means 20. That is, in the body shape acquisition means 11, after the motor is driven to move the horizontal mirrors 3b and 3c to the preset opening angles, the horizontal shape 3b and 3c are moved to the horizontal mirrors 3b and 3c at the respective opening angles, as in the case of photographing on the front side. The subject B is photographed by the attached CCD camera 11a, and the back side of the subject B is photographed at a plurality of preset photographing angles.

  When the body shape acquisition unit 11 finishes photographing the front side and the back side of the person B to be measured by each CCD camera 11a, the image data photographed by each CCD camera 11a is converted into an ID number of the photographed CCD camera 11a, Information on the opening and closing angles of the mirrors 3b and 3c at the time of photographing and information on the front side or the back side of the person B to be measured are output to the 3D model creating means 12 as body information. The 3D model creation means 12 includes an ID number and installation position information of each CCD camera 11a, and, in the case of the CCD camera 11a attached to the horizontal mirrors 3b and 3c, an opening angle of each horizontal mirror 3b and 3c at the time of photographing. That is, the set value of (that is, the shooting angle), the position coordinate information of the vertices of the polygons constituting the basic human body model when it is assumed that each CCD camera 11a has shot the basic human body model from the predetermined shooting angle, and each CCD camera 11a The image data of the background image (image taken in the absence of the person to be measured B) taken at a predetermined photographing angle is registered in advance, and this information and the body inputted from the body shape obtaining means 11 are registered. Using the information, a three-dimensional model representing the body shape of the person to be measured B is created and body shape data is calculated in the same procedure as described in the first embodiment. Since the operation after the 3D model creating means 12 creates a 3D model and calculates the body shape data is the same as that in the first embodiment, the description of the subsequent operations is omitted.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the body shape acquisition unit 11 measures the opening angle of the horizontal mirrors 3b and 3c with respect to the CCD camera 11a attached to each of the mirrors 3a to 3c of the trihedral mirror 3 and the main mirror 3a. 6 and a motor that opens and closes the horizontal mirrors 3b and 3c, and the motor drives the horizontal mirrors 3b and 3c to a predetermined opening angle based on the detection angle of the angle sensor 6, thereby varying the angle. The person to be measured B can be photographed from, and a three-dimensional model can be created with a smaller number than the case where the CCD camera 11a is installed so as to surround the person to be measured B as in the first embodiment. Therefore, the necessary number of image data can be taken, so that the manufacturing cost required for constructing the system can be reduced. Moreover, the three CCD cameras 11a are installed in the main mirror 3a and the horizontal mirrors 3b and 3b provided in the three-sided mirror 3, and the CCD camera attached to the horizontal mirror 3b by changing the angle of the horizontal mirror 3b. Since the shooting angle of 11a can be changed, there is no need to provide a separate mechanism for changing the shooting angle of the CCD camera 11a, and the cost of the entire unit can be reduced.

  It should be noted that a wide variety of different embodiments can be configured without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to a specific embodiment.
