  As described above, in the conventional system, it is necessary for the user to register the meal contents of each meal in detail every day. For example, if the dietary restrictions are strictly imposed for treatment, such as diabetics, it is necessary to check the daily meal content. I do n’t think it ’s too much to register in the system. However, in the case of a general user who has not manifested illness, it is troublesome to input meal contents every day, and the meal contents of every meal in the morning and evening are not always memorized in detail. For this reason, the registration of meal contents in the system may be overwhelmed and eventually not used. Therefore, there is a need for a self-check system for eating habits that can be easily performed in a short time by anyone without detailed meal data input.

The present invention, height of the subject, to correspond to the subject in any of a plurality of stages based on the basic information including the weight, the cooking determination unit that determines the one day of food in accordance with the subject, said base self diagnosis combined with questions determining unit that determines a question about diet in accordance with the subject, the questions to enter a relative amount with respect to the said food for one day as determined by the cooking determination unit based on the information and diagnostics tables presenting unit that presents a table to the subject, and diagnostics information receiving unit that receives the self-diagnosis information is a response of the subject with respect to the presented the self-diagnosis table, based on the self-diagnosis information received , at least with respect to individual dishes divided into corresponding of the subject diet, the evaluation generation section for generating different evaluated by posture of the subject, of the tilt in accordance with the evaluation generated by the evaluation generation section By providing an evaluation presenting section for presenting the subject to create a determination screen including things guide image is to solve the above problems.

  According to the self-check system for eating habits of the present invention, the user can intuitively understand the types and amounts of standard meals on a daily basis from the meal guide image indicating the displayed meal contents as a guide. Then, instead of entering your own dietary intakes individually, you can enter them in relative quantities, such as large or small, relative to the standard amount illustrated. Can be completed.

  In addition, an evaluation score is calculated based on the content input by the user, and accordingly, the displayed meal guide image is displayed in a stepwise manner from a good state to a bad state. Intuitively understand the state of eating habits and is effective in motivating improvement in eating habits.

  FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a dietary self-check system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The eating habit self-check system includes a user terminal device 10, a server device 30 that provides a service for the eating habit self-check system, and a communication network 20 such as the Internet.

  The user terminal device 10 is a communication terminal including an input device such as a display device and a keyboard, and a general personal computer having a web browser function can be used. The terminal device 10 has a function of displaying display data sent from the server device 30 on the display device, a function of transmitting data input according to the display screen, and the like, and uses a service provided by the server device 30.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the server device 30 includes a database device 50 that stores various databases such as an image database that stores a plurality of types of meal guide images that exemplify dishes for one day. A function of transmitting screen display data for inputting information to the terminal device 10, a function of calculating a target energy intake amount based on basic information sent from the user, a meal guide image according to the user, and A function of transmitting screen display data for inputting a relative amount for one day of cooking indicated by the meal guide image, and a function of calculating an evaluation score related to eating habits based on an input value of the relative amount sent from the user It has a function to send a comment comment etc. according to the evaluation score, and it is also called a dietary life improvement support device by itself.

  The server device 30 includes a control unit, a communication unit, and a database device 50. The database device 50 includes an image database in which meal guide images are recorded, a plurality of levels of energy intake guideline, and meals corresponding thereto. An association database that records the correspondence with the guide image, a question item database that records the question items for the user, a detailed comment sentence database that records the relationship between the user's answer contents and the corresponding detailed comment sentence, and evaluation A general comment database that records the relationship between a point and the corresponding general comment text, and an ideal response database that records the relationship between the user's response content and the ideal answer corresponding to the database.

  FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the association database. The energy intake reference amount, the link information of the meal guide image called a reference frame, and the reference serving number are registered in association with the target of a plurality of stages set according to the age and the activity amount. The energy intake reference amount is set with a certain width. For example, in the case of a subject represented by “general 2000”, it is in a range of 1900 kcal or more and less than 2100 kcal. In the embodiment, 18 stages of targets from “general 1200 small” applied to children to “athlete 4000” assuming athletes are set.

  Here, the energy intake reference amount is an amount of energy that is desirably taken from a meal on a single day determined by basic information of the individual such as the height, weight, age, and sex of the subject. The number of servings is the estimated amount for each food category when the estimated amount of energy intake for one day is set in a balanced manner from staple foods, side dishes, main dishes, milk / dairy products and fruits. And the unit is represented by SV. For example, if the standard serving number of staple food is 6SV, the energy amount is 2 servings of rice (2SV), 1 bread (1SV), 1 udon (2SV) and 1 rice ball (2SV). Yes (based on the “Food Balance Guide” criteria determined by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries) A meal guide image indicates the reference serving number by cooking. The link information of the meal guide image is the file name of the meal guide image file.

  FIG. 3 shows the structure of the question item database. The questions are composed of items related to “how to eat”, “amount”, and “position” in the dietary life, and include questions that are answered in relative amounts such as many or small for the dishes illustrated in the meal guide image. Yes. Each question is assigned a score so that the total score of each question is 100 points. Moreover, the answer is a selection type, and a score is set for each answer in the detailed comment database described later. The question items have different configurations depending on whether the subject is a general or athlete, and whether the subject is under the age of 18 or a child.

  Fig. 4 shows the structure of the detailed comment database. This database consists of two tables, a score table and a comment table. In the score table, a score is set for each answer of the above-mentioned question item, and a comment text number to be output according to the score is set. The parenthesis following the score is the comment number. In the question item to ask about the amount of food intake, the score varies depending on whether the subject's position is lean (slimming), normal or obese. A comment number is assigned to the answer with a low score. That is, a comment requiring attention is output for an unfavorable answer. On the other hand, in the comment table, comment numbers and text data of cautionary comment sentences corresponding to the comment numbers are set. The comment table also outputs the most important caution comment text that is output by replacing the low-scoring answers with the required caution comment text when there are more than a certain number of replies, and conversely, if there are no low-scoring answers. A good comment sentence and an ordinary comment sentence for those who do not enter either are also set. The detailed comment text differs depending on whether the subject is a general or an athlete, and whether the subject is under the age of 18 or a child.

  FIG. 5 shows the structure of the general comment text database. The evaluation score is a perfect score method from a minimum of 0 points to a maximum of 100 points, as shown in the figure, depending on the 7-point scoring range from the best state of 90 points or more to the poorest state of less than 40 points, A general comment comment to be evaluated and a frame type number that is information indicating a display mode of the meal guide image are recorded.

  The image database is configured as a set of meal guide image files. An example of a meal guide image is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the meal guide image shows the estimated intakes of staple food, side dishes, main dishes, milk / dairy products, and fruits from the top according to the estimated energy intake at each stage (target) set in the association database. Each of these images is a collection of strip-like pictures exemplified by cooking. The illustrated cooking picture reflects the reference serving number recorded in the association database, and represents the appropriate amount that the subject eats per day. Since the number of servings for each cooking category to be taken varies depending on the target energy intake amount of the subject, meal guide images having different designs are prepared for each “target” in the association database. As described with reference to FIG. 2, in the embodiment, the target is set in 18 stages, so 18 types of meal guide images are also prepared. In the embodiment, this figure is called a frame.

  Furthermore, the meal guide image corresponds to the seven-level overall evaluation defined in the comment comment database, and the most poor (very problematic state) from the upright reference frame representing the best (very good state). Seven types of frame images are prepared in order to increase the tilt and change the display mode up to the frame in the fall state. Accordingly, since seven types of frame images having different display modes are displayed for each of the 18 stages, 126 types of frame images are stored for convenience. The difference between the seven types of display modes is distinguished by the frame type number.

  FIG. 7 shows the configuration of the ideal answer database. An ideal answer is set for each item. The ideal answer differs depending on the subject's position and whether the subject is a general or athlete, and whether the subject is under 18 or a child.

  Next, the processing flow of the eating habit self-check system of the embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 14 and a screen display example. When accessed from the user terminal 10, the server device 30 transmits a screen for inputting basic information of the person to be self-checked shown in FIG. 8 (step S11). As basic information, in addition to information on the subject's gender, age, height, and weight, the athlete (athlete), other general, infant / school children (children) distinction (mode), and normal It is the situation of exercise and ingestion of sweets and beverages. For women, enter the pregnancy status. In the case of athletes, the body fat percentage, whether the type of exercise is endurance, and whether the current training period is the normal period or off are input.

  When the server device 30 receives the basic information (S12), the server device 30 calculates the target daily intake amount of the subject based on the basic information (S13). As shown in FIG. 9, the calculation formula is expressed as the product of the basal metabolic standard value by sex / age determined by the basic information of the subject, the reference weight, the daily activity intensity index, and the energy accumulation amount. It is. In the case of athletes, it is expressed as the product of LBM (lean body weight) and PAL (physical activity level). These values are extracted from a given table registered in the database device 50 based on basic information such as the age of the subject.

  When the energy intake reference amount is determined, the reference frame is determined from the association database (S14). This reference frame shows one day's worth of food suitable for the subject. Then, the question items are determined from the question item database based on the basic information of the subject (S15), the display data of the self-diagnosis table combining them is created and transmitted to the user terminal device 10 (S16). The user terminal 10 displays the received self-diagnosis table as a self-check screen. A display example of the self-check screen is shown in FIG.

  The user views the self-check screen displayed on the user terminal 10 and inputs an answer, that is, self-diagnosis. For example, if you look at the picture of the staple food displayed on the meal guide image (reference frame), you can see the relative amount such as more than the figure, about the amount of the figure, about half of the figure, or hardly eaten. Click on the mouse to enter the answer. In this way, it is easy to input a selection item such as a large number or a small number displayed on the screen by simply clicking the mouse. When all questions are answered, the OK button is pressed to transmit self-diagnosis information to the server device 30.

  When the server device 30 receives the answer (S17), the server device 30 generates an evaluation for the self-diagnosis information of the subject. That is, referring to the question item database and the detailed comment text database, the scores for each question are summed from the contents of the answers, and the evaluation score of the subject is calculated (S18). The highest score is 100 points, and the lowest is 0 points. Next, referring to the general comment text database, the general comment text and the frame type number are obtained from the evaluation points, and the frame (meal guide image) designated by the frame type number is read from the image database. Then, a comprehensive judgment screen combining the general comment text and the frame image is created and transmitted to the user terminal device 10 (S19).

  Further, the detailed comment text is acquired by referring to the detailed comment text database according to the answer contents. That is, for an answer with a low score and link information (comment number) to the comment text, the detailed comment text is read out.

  Further, an ideal answer corresponding to each question item and the posture of the subject is acquired by referring to the ideal answer database. And the display data of the detailed result screen which combined the detailed comment sentence and the ideal answer are created, and transmitted to the user's terminal device 10 in response to the request (S20).

  A display example of the comprehensive determination screen displayed on the user terminal 10 is shown in FIG. A general comment according to the response content is displayed at the top of the screen and a frame image is displayed below it. In this example, since the evaluation score is 75 points, the “comment close to the passing score” is displayed as the general comment, and the frame with the frame type number 3 that is tilted two stages from the upright state is displayed in the meal guide image. Therefore, the user can intuitively grasp the state of his / her eating habits from the inclination of the displayed frames.

  In addition, a detailed result screen can be displayed by instructing a “click here for details” button with a mouse on the comprehensive judgment screen. An example of the display is shown in FIG. On this screen, a detailed comment field is displayed below the general comment output on the comprehensive judgment screen, and the target person's own answer (your answer) for each question item and the ideal answer are displayed in the lower half of the screen. ing. In the detailed comment column, a comment requiring attention is displayed according to the answer, and a star “★” is displayed in the question item to which the comment comment requiring attention is output. As a result, the user can easily and accurately know their own problems.

  The server device 30 replaces a plurality of caution comment sentences with each other and outputs the most important caution comment sentence in the detailed comment column. On the contrary, if there is no answer with a low score, the good comment sentence is detailed. Output to the comment field. Also, if neither of them is entered, a normal comment sentence is output.
