User information 8 shown in FIG. 15 is stored in the storage unit 92 of the server 9 . The user information 8 is recorded by linking the user ID 84 to the history data 80 described with reference to FIG.

The user ID 84 is user identification information for identifying the user, and is also recorded in the membership card possessed by the user in this embodiment.

(2. Processing performed by management system 1a)
FIG. 16 is a flow chart showing processing of the management system 1a. S201 to S204 and S207 to S210 in FIG. 16 are processes executed by the computer 30 of the photographing device 3a, and S205 to S206 are executed by the control section 51 of the measuring device 5. FIG. S211 and S212 are processes executed by the control unit 91 of the server 9. FIG.

In this embodiment, the imaging device 3a displays a display screen 310 illustrated in FIG. 17(a) on the monitor 31 as a standby screen.

This display screen 310 displays a message i to the effect that the membership card should be touched to the reader 33 to read the user ID 84 when history management is to be performed. A message j indicating an address for displaying a history display page, which will be described later, is also displayed.

The user touches the membership card to the reader 33 to read the user ID 84 . When the photographing device 3a reads the user ID 84 by the reader 33 (S201), user authentication is performed using the user ID 84 as authentication information (S202; authentication means).

In this embodiment, in the authentication process of S202, the user ID 84 read in S201 is transmitted from the imaging device 3a to the server 9, and the server 9 determines whether or not the authentication is possible. For example, if there is an ID matching the user ID 84 read in S201 in the user ID 84 managed as the user information 8, the authentication is regarded as successful, and the authentication result is transmitted to the photographing device 3a. The following description assumes that the authentication has succeeded, but if the authentication fails, for example, a message to that effect is displayed on the monitor 31, and the process ends.

After performing the user authentication, the photographing device 3a causes the monitor 31 to display the measurement mode selection acceptance screen shown in FIG. 17B, and accepts the selection of the measurement mode (S203). The display screen 310 shown in FIG. 17(b) is almost the same as the display screen 310 shown in FIG. 8(b), but differs in that the message indicating that the user terminal 7 has connected to the imaging device 3a is not displayed. As the user name f in the display screen 310, for example, the user ID 84 read in S201 can be displayed.

After that, the physical data of the user is measured and the image of the user is photographed (S204 to S209) in this embodiment as well. After measuring the physical data and photographing the user, the display screen 310 described with reference to FIG. 9C is displayed on the monitor 31 of the photographing device 3a.

When the user touches and selects a "save and exit" button 318 on the display screen 310, the photographing device 3a combines the measurement result of the physical data and the user image with the date and time of measurement by the measurement unit 2 and the user ID 84. and transmits it to the server 9 (S210; transmitting means).

The server 9 receives these data (S211; receiving means), and converts the received measurement date and time, the user image, and the physical data measurement results into the measurement date and time 81, the user image 82, and the user information 8 corresponding to the received user ID 84. The physical data measurement result 83 is recorded in the storage unit 92 in association with the user ID 84 (S212; recording means).

In the present embodiment, the user performs measurement of physical data and photographing of the user at a plurality of dates and times according to the above procedure, thereby obtaining a history of the user image 82 and the measurement result 83 of the physical data for each measurement date and time 81 similar to FIG. Data 80 is recorded in storage unit 92 of server 9 as user information 8 in association with user ID 84 . The user can display this as a history display page on the user terminal 7 and browse it.

For example, the user accesses the site provided by the server 9 using the user terminal 7 , logs in by entering the user ID 84 , and transmits a request to display the history display page to the server 9 . When the server 9 receives the display request, it transmits the data of the history display page to the user terminal 7 and causes the user terminal 7 to display it. On this page, the same display as that described with reference to FIGS. 11A and 11B is performed, and the user can confirm the transition of the body data together with the transition of the appearance of the user.

Thus, in this embodiment as well, it is possible to manage the history of the physical data measurement result obtained by the measurement unit 2a and the user image, and the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained. Especially in this embodiment, the history of the user's measurement results and user images can be managed by the server 9 and displayed on the user terminal 7 in response to a request from the user terminal 7 .

In this embodiment, the user ID 84 recorded on the membership card is read by the reader 33 for authentication, but the authentication method is not limited to this.

For example, the user may input authentication information such as a user ID and a password using screen keys displayed on the monitor 31 . Biometric authentication such as vein authentication can also be performed. In this case, the photographing device 3 may be provided with a dedicated biometric authentication device. Alternatively, it is also possible to use the camera 32 of the photographing device 3 to perform face authentication. In these cases, the input authentication information (user ID, password, biometric authentication information, face authentication information) is transmitted from the computer 30 of the photographing device 3 to the server 9, and the server 9 determines whether or not the authentication is possible. Positive authentication information is registered in advance as user information 8 in the server 9 .

Furthermore, it is also possible to input the authentication information with the measuring device 5, for example, it is possible to input the authentication information to a biometrics authentication device attached to the measuring device 5 and perform the authentication. In this case, the authentication information acquired by the biometric authentication device is transmitted to the computer 30 of the imaging device 3, and the authentication information is transmitted from the computer 30 to the server 9 to determine whether or not the authentication is possible. In the same way as described above, positive authentication information is registered in advance as user information 8 in the server 9 .

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to such examples. It is obvious that a person skilled in the art can conceive of various modifications or modifications within the scope of the technical ideas disclosed in the present application, and these also belong to the technical scope of the present invention.
