For the explanation of each configuration of the support terminals 2a and 2b, the explanation of each configuration of the support device 1 can be used.

Next, the health management support method of this embodiment will be explained using the flowcharts of FIGS. 4 and 5. The support method of this embodiment can be implemented using, for example, a support system 100 that includes the support device 1 and support terminals 2a and 2b of this embodiment. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing (S1 to S5) of the support device 1, and FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing (S101 to S106) of the support terminal 2a.

Prior to processing by the support device 1, the user first inputs food intake ratio information of the user and the members associated with the user using the input unit 21 of the user's support terminal 2a (S101, user information input step). For example, the user and member may be one person as in the support system 100 of this embodiment, or may be a plurality of users. The food intake ratio information is information that defines the ratio of the same food consumed by the user and the ratio consumed by the member. The above-mentioned "rate of ingestion by the user and rate of ingestion by the member of the same food" means, for example, the rate of ingestion of one food by the user and the member, respectively. The ratio may be a value from which an intake ratio can be calculated, such as an intake weight ratio, an intake volume ratio, or an intake number ratio of the food.

Prior to S101, the user may input user information and member information associated with the user, for example. The user information includes, for example, user identification information and user attribute information. The member information includes, for example, identification information of the linked user, identification information of the member, and attribute information of the member. The identification information is information that can identify users and members, and includes, for example, ID, name, and the like. The attribute information is not particularly limited, and includes, for example, gender, age, height, weight, amount of exercise, METs (METabolic equivalents), physical activity level, etc.

In S101, for example, the user may be allowed to input user information, food intake ratio information, etc. based on the input format of the inquiry sent from the support device 1. An example in which the user information and food intake ratio information are input in S101 will be described. First, a question inquiring about the user and members other than the user is displayed on the display unit 22 of the support terminal 2a. Examples of the questions include questions to confirm family structure. The answer to the question may be input by the user or may be selected from a plurality of options. The options include, for example, family type such as living alone, working alone, nuclear family, extended family, etc.; number of family members; and the like. Note that the above-mentioned "family" is not limited to marital relationships such as husband and wife and blood relationships such as parent and child, brothers and sisters, but may also include, for example, kinship relationships, cohabitants, other partners, etc. The question for confirming the family structure may further allow the user or member to be provided health management support by the support device 1 to select from among the input family members.

Next, when the user information and the member information include the attribute information, the attribute information regarding the input user and member is, for example, gender, age, height, weight, amount of exercise, MetS (exercise intensity). Displays questions that confirm indexes, METabolic equivalents (METs), and physical activity levels. Then, when the user answers the question, the attribute information of the user and the member is input.

Next, a question is displayed to confirm the food intake ratio information of the user and the members associated with the user. The question may be, for example, a question asking the user and the member about the ratio of their usual meal intake. Then, when the user answers the question, the food intake ratio information is input. Note that the input of the food intake ratio information is not limited to this, and for example, the user can capture the user's meal image and the member's meal image with the camera (input unit 21) of the support terminal 2a. You can also enter it. In this case, the support terminal 2a transmits the user's meal image and the member's meal image to the support device 1 as meal intake ratio information. When the support device 1 receives the meal image of the user and the meal image of the member, the support device 1 estimates the ratio of the meal amounts of the user and the member from the meal image, and obtains the ratio as meal intake ratio information. good.

The input user information, member information associated with the user, and food intake ratio information are sent to the support device 1 via the communication line network 3 by the communication unit 22 of the support terminal 2a. The information is output (S102, user information output step). Note that the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, each of the inputted information may be output to a database outside the system and stored in the external database.

Next, the user inputs the user's purchased food information using the input unit 21 of the user's support terminal 2a (S103, purchased food information input step). The purchased food information includes information from which the purchased food purchased by the user can be estimated. The purchased food information includes, for example, the product name (product name, name) of the purchased food, the manufacturing number, an image of the purchased food, a receipt image, an electronic receipt, POS (point of sales) data, nutritional information. It includes image data, date and time of purchase, and location information such as GPS (Global Positioning System). When the purchased food information includes the GPS information, for example, it may include information on a menu of a restaurant having location information specified by the GPS information.

The input purchased food information is output to the support device 1 via the communication line network 3 by the communication unit 22 of the support terminal 2a (S104, purchased food information output step). Note that the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the input purchased food information may be output to a database external to the system and stored in the external database.

A specific example of S103 and S104 will be explained. First, the user images (inputs), for example, a receipt from the store where the purchased food was purchased using the camera of the support terminal 2a. Then, the support terminal 2a outputs the captured image of the receipt to the support device 1 as the purchased food information. In the first embodiment, the support device 1 processes the information input by the support terminal 2a, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, part or all of the processing performed by the support device 1 may be may be implemented by the support terminal 2a. As a specific example, regarding identification of the food in the purchased food information, the support terminal 2a analyzes the product name of the purchased food included in the receipt image using a known image recognition means, and uses the product name as the purchased food information. , may be output to the support device 1. Further, the user may directly input the product name of the purchased food as the purchased food information into the support terminal 2a, and output the product name to the support device 1.

The input of the food intake ratio information and the input of the purchased food information may, for example, be input simultaneously or separately, or either may be input first. Further, the food intake ratio information and the purchased food information may be outputted to the support device 1 at the same time or separately, or either one may be outputted first.

Next, processing by the support device 1 is started. First, the user information acquisition unit 10 of the support device 1 acquires the food intake ratio information output from the support terminal 2a via the communication device 108 (S1, user information acquisition step). The food intake ratio information may be stored, for example, in the storage device 104 (the storage unit). In this case, the user information acquisition unit 10 acquires the food intake ratio information from the storage device 104. Further, the user information acquisition unit 10 may, for example, acquire the food intake ratio information from an external database in which the food intake ratio information is stored, or may input the food intake ratio information to the support device 1 using the input device 106. It may also be acquired by inputting intake ratio information. For example, the user information acquisition unit 10 may cause the storage device 104 to store the acquired food intake ratio information.

Further, the user information acquisition unit 10 may acquire identification information and attribute information of the user as user information, and may acquire identification information and attribute information of the member as member information, for example. In this case, for example, the user and the member are stored in association with each other based on the user's identification information and the member's identification information, and various information is managed.

Next, the purchased food information acquisition unit 11 of the support device 1 acquires the purchased food information output from the support terminal 2a via the communication device 108 (S2, purchased food information acquisition step). The purchased food information may be stored in the storage device 104 (the storage unit), for example. In this case, the purchased food information acquisition unit 11 acquires the purchased food information from the storage device 104. Further, the purchased food information acquisition unit 11 may acquire the purchased food information from an external database in which the purchased food information is stored, or input the purchased food information directly into the support device 1 using the input device 106 of the support device 1, for example. Purchased food information may also be obtained. For example, the purchased food information acquisition unit 11 may cause the storage device 104 to store the acquired purchased food information. Note that S1 and S2 may be performed at the same time, separately, or any one of them may be performed first.

Next, the nutritional intake estimation unit 12 estimates the nutritional components ingested by the user and the nutritional components ingested by the members from the purchased food information and the food intake ratio information (S3, nutritional component estimation step). The nutritional components may be estimated by, for example, extracting the nutritional component information contained in the purchased food from the purchased food information and then distributing the nutritional component information based on the food ratio information, or by extracting the nutritional component information contained in the purchased food from the purchased food information, or The amount of purchased food consumed by the user and the member may be calculated from the food intake ratio information, and the nutritional component information consumed by the user and the member may be extracted from the calculated amount of purchased food. As a specific example of the former, the nutritional intake estimating unit 12 first extracts nutritional component information included in the purchased food from the purchased food information. Next, the nutritional intake estimating unit 12 distributes the nutritional component information to the users and members based on the food intake ratio information. Then, the nutritional intake estimation unit 12 estimates the distributed nutritional component information as the nutritional components ingested by the user and the nutritional components ingested by the members. As a specific example of the latter, the nutritional intake estimating unit 12 first informs the users and members of the amount of purchased food included in the purchased food information (e.g., quantity, number, weight) based on the food intake ratio information. distribute. Next, the nutritional intake estimating unit 12 extracts the nutritional components contained in the purchased food in the amount after the distribution. Then, the nutritional intake estimating unit 12 estimates the extracted nutritional components as the nutritional components ingested by the user and the nutritional components ingested by the member. Furthermore, if the purchased food information is stored in the storage device 104, the nutritional intake estimating unit 12 may acquire nutritional component information from the purchased food information stored in the storage device 104, or update it in S2. Nutritional component information may be obtained from the purchased food information acquired in the above and the purchased food information stored in the storage device 104.

The nutritional component information is, for example, information regarding the nutritional components of the purchased food. The nutritional components include, for example, energy (calories); carbohydrates such as carbohydrates, fats (saturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, cholesterol, etc.), alcohol; protein; inorganic salts such as sodium, calcium, potassium, iron; Dietary fibers such as soluble dietary fiber and water-soluble dietary fiber; vitamin A such as retinol, α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, vitamin B group, vitamin C, vitamin D, α-tocopherol, β-tocophenol , γ-tocopherol, σ-tocopherol, and other vitamins; vitamins such as vitamin K, folic acid, niacin, pantothenic acid, and biotin; and polyphenols.

Extracting the nutritional component information contained in the purchased food from the purchased food information can be accomplished by, for example, acquiring nutritional component information corresponding to the purchased food from an internal or external database of the device that stores the nutritional component information of each purchased food. The information may be obtained by referring to food ingredient standards such as the Japanese Food Standard Composition Table for the ingredients constituting each purchased food. The database may be, for example, a database of nutritional information on products from restaurant chains and convenience stores, such as a nutritional value database of meals provided by Eat Smart Co., Ltd. Note that the database may be developed in-house, for example. For example, when the purchased food information includes information on purchased foods on different days, the nutritional intake estimation unit 12 preferably estimates nutritional component information separately for each day. As a specific example, if the purchased food information includes information on purchased foods for three days, the nutritional intake estimating unit 12 estimates nutritional component information on the first day based on the purchased food information on the first day, and Based on the purchased food information on the second day, the nutritional information on the second day is estimated, and on the basis of the purchased food information on the third day, the nutritional information on the third day is estimated. The acquired nutritional component information may be stored in the storage device 104, for example.

Next, the nutritional status estimating unit 13 estimates the nutritional status of the user and the member based on the nutritional components ingested by the user, the nutritional components ingested by the member, and the reference values of the ingested nutritional components. Estimate (S4, nutritional status estimation step). The reference value of the nutritional component means, for example, the intake amount of the nutritional component that is a guideline for the subject. The standard values of the nutritional components are not particularly limited, and include, for example, standard values recommended by public institutions. As an example, if the user and the member are Japanese, the standard value of the nutritional component may be the standard value of the nutritional component recommended by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. (Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare). If the user is a person other than Japanese, the dietary intake standards for the nutritional components can be referred to, for example, the dietary intake standards in the user's country of origin. The reference value may be, for example, a numerical range defined by a lower limit value and an upper limit value. The intake reference value of the nutritional component is preferably within a numerical range. In this case, the intake reference value of the nutritional component can also be called the intake reference range of the nutritional component. The intake reference range of the nutritional components is, for example, a range of ±15% of the calculated intake reference value of the nutritional components, preferably a range of ±10% or ±5% of the calculated intake reference value of the nutritional components. Can be set. The reference values of the nutritional components may be stored in the storage device 104, or may be stored in a database outside the system, for example. If the reference value of the nutritional component is stored in the storage device 104, the nutritional status estimation unit 13 acquires the reference value of the nutritional component from the storage device 104. If the reference value of the nutritional component is stored in the database, the nutritional status estimating unit 13 acquires it via the communication device 108. Further, when the support device 1 has a reference value calculation unit described in an embodiment described later, the reference values of nutritional components calculated by the support device 1 may be used.

The nutritional status estimation unit 13 can estimate the nutritional status based on, for example, the excess or deficiency of nutritional components ingested by the user. Specifically, the nutritional state estimating unit 13 extracts nutritional components that are excessive or insufficient in the user and the member from the nutritional components ingested by the user and the member and the reference values of the nutritional components. More specifically, the nutritional status estimating unit 13 compares, for example, the value of each nutritional component ingested by the user and the member with the standard value of the corresponding nutritional component in the standard value of the nutritional component, and Determine whether the value is less than, the same as (for example, within a numerical range), or greater than the standard value of the nutritional component. Then, the nutritional status estimating unit 13 determines, for example, that nutritional components that are less than the reference value of the nutritional components are insufficient nutritional components, and for the nutritional components that are the same as the reference value of the nutritional components, there is no excess or deficiency in the nutritional components. The nutritional components exceeding the reference value of the nutritional components are determined to be excessive nutritional components.

Next, the output unit 14 outputs the nutritional status of the user and the nutritional status of the member (S5, output step). Specifically, the output unit 14 outputs the nutritional status of the user and the nutritional status of the member to the support terminal 2a via the communication device 108 and the communication line network 3. The output unit 14 may output part or all of the nutritional status. In the former case, the output unit 14 may, for example, output a preset number of nutritional states, or may output nutritional states that satisfy conditions (eg, priority order) specified by the user. Further, the support device 1 stores, for example, the user, the nutritional components ingested by the user, and the nutritional status of the user in the storage device 104 (the storage unit), and the member, The nutritional components ingested by the member and the nutritional status of the member may be stored in association with each other (storage step). The support device 1 then ends the process. The nutritional status may be output as, for example, text, graphs, images, character images, etc., or may be output as instruction information for instructing the display of these. The output unit 14 may output to a support terminal 2b other than the user, instead of or in addition to the user's support terminal 2a, for example. The support terminal 2b other than the user may be, for example, a member's terminal, or may be a terminal of an individual or organization that checks or uses the user's health condition, and specific examples include a family member, an insurance company, an NPO (Nonprofit Organization), Examples include terminals from volunteer organizations, governments, companies, health insurance associations, etc.

The support terminal 2a receives the output nutritional status of the user and the nutritional status of the member via the communication unit 22 (S105, nutritional status receiving step). Then, the support terminal 2a displays the received nutritional status of the user and the member on the display unit 23 (S106, nutritional status display step).

According to the support device, support terminal, and support system of Embodiment 1, nutritional components ingested by the user and ingested amount by the member are determined based on purchased food information and food intake ratio information of the user and members associated with the user. A nutritional component is estimated, and the nutritional state of the user and the nutritional state of the member are estimated from the estimated nutritional component and a reference value of the nutritional component. Therefore, according to the support device, support terminal, and support system of Embodiment 1, even when purchasing food is shared among multiple people, the nutritional status of each person can be estimated and health management can be performed with precision. .

[Embodiment 2]
This embodiment is the same as Embodiment 1 except that the support device of Embodiment 1 includes an ingester confirmation information transmitter and an ingester selection information receiver. In this embodiment, the ingestor confirmation information transmitting unit confirms with the user the user or member who ingested the purchased food, and the ingestor selection information receiving unit informs the user that the purchased food has been ingested. The information of the selected user or member is received, and the nutritional components ingested by the user and the nutritional components ingested by the member are estimated from the purchased food information, the food intake ratio information, and the consumer information. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, for example, when purchased food is shared by multiple people, the nutritional status of each person can be estimated with higher accuracy.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an example of the support device 1A of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, in addition to the configuration of the support device 1 of Embodiment 1, the support device 1A further includes a consumer confirmation information transmitter 15 and a consumer selection information receiver 16. The hardware configuration of the support device 1A is the same as that of the support device 1 in FIG. 2 except that the CPU 101 has the configuration of the support device 1A in FIG. 6 instead of the configuration of the support device 1 in FIG. be.

An example of processing in the support device 1A and the support terminal 2a of this embodiment will be described based on the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 and 8. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing (S1 to S5, S11 and S12) of the support device 1A, and FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing (S101 to S106, S201 to S204) of the support terminal 2a. be.

First, prior to processing by the support device 1A, steps S101 to S104 are performed in the same manner as steps S101 to S104 in the support terminal 2a of the first embodiment.

Next, S1 and S2 are performed in the same manner as S1 and S2 in the processing of the support device 1 of the first embodiment.

Next, the ingester confirmation information transmitting unit 15 transmits the ingester confirmation information to the support terminal 2a (the user) via the communication device 108 (S11, ingester confirmation information transmission step). The consumer confirmation information is information for confirming to the user the user or member who ingested the purchased food. The intake person confirmation information includes, for example, an image showing the user or member. The image may be an icon image representing the user or member.

The support terminal 2a receives the intake person confirmation information via the communication unit 22 (S201, intake person confirmation information receiving step). Then, the ingester confirmation information is displayed on the display unit 23 (S202, ingester confirmation information display step). The user inputs ingester information (S203, ingester information input step). The ingestor information is information on a user or member selected by the user as having ingested the purchased food.

S202 and S203 will be explained in more detail using FIG. 9. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing an example of an image displayed on the display section 23 of the support terminal 2a when the purchased food information and the consumer information are input. As shown in FIG. 9, when the user uses the camera (input unit 21) of the support terminal 2a to take an image of the receipt 231 of the store where the purchased food was purchased, the user and an image 232 showing the members. Then, by selecting the user and member who ingested the purchased food from the image 232, the user can select the person who ingested the purchased food included in the photographed receipt 231 and input the ingestor information. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the image 232 displayed on the display unit 23 of the support terminal 2a can have a different color or shape depending on the user and the member. In this case, the consumer confirmation information transmitting unit 15 determines, for example, the color of the image indicating the user and the member in the consumer confirmation information based on the user's attribute information, the member's attribute information, and the food intake ratio information. or change at least one of the shapes. To change the color, for example, the attribute information and the color of the image are stored in association with each other, and the color of the image can be set according to the attribute information of the user or member. As a specific example, if the attribute information includes gender, for example, men can be set to blue and women to red. The change in shape can be achieved, for example, by storing the food intake ratio information in association with the size of the image, and in the food intake ratio information, the food intake ratio is compared with other users or members. An image of a user or member whose food intake ratio is set to be large compared to other users or members is a relatively large image, and an image of a user or member whose intake ratio of food is set to be small compared to other users or members is a relatively large image. It can be a small image.

Then, the support terminal 2a outputs the ingester information to the support device 1A via the communication unit 22 (S204, ingester information output step).

Next, the ingester selection information receiving unit 16 of the support device 1A receives the ingester information via the communication device 108 (S12, ingester selection information receiving step).

Next, the nutritional intake estimating unit 12 of the support device 1A estimates the nutritional components ingested by the user and the nutritional components ingested by the member from the purchased food information, the food intake ratio information, and the consumer information (S3 , nutritional intake estimation process). As a specific example, assume that the food intake ratio information of User A, User B, Member C, and Member D is 35:20:25:20, and User A and Member C are selected as the intake person information. I will explain it to you. In this case, the nutritional intake estimating unit 12 first extracts the nutritional components contained in the purchased food from the purchased food information. Then, the nutritional intake estimating unit 12 distributes the nutritional components at 35:25 based on the food intake ratio information of user A and member C. Furthermore, the nutritional intake estimating unit 12 estimates that the distributed nutritional components are the nutritional components ingested by user A and the nutritional components ingested by member C. Note that the present invention is not limited to this, and as described above, the nutritional intake estimating unit 12 calculates the quantity of purchased food included in the purchased food information based on the food intake ratio information of the user A and member C. 35:25, and the nutritional components contained in the purchased food in the quantity after the distribution may be estimated to be the nutritional components ingested by user A and the nutritional components ingested by member C.

The support terminal 2a performs S105 and S106 in the same manner as S105 and S106 of the first embodiment, and ends the process by the support terminal 2a.

In addition, in the support device 1A of Embodiment 2, the configuration in which the ingester confirmation information transmitting unit 15 changes at least one of the color or the shape of the image indicating the user or the member in the ingester confirmation information has been exemplified. The change may be processed by the support terminal 2a. In this case, the support terminal 2a includes, for example, an icon image generation section. Then, in S201, when the communication unit 22 receives the intake person confirmation information from the support device 1A, the support terminal 2a generates an image indicating the user or the member by the icon image generation unit (icon image generation step). ). Then, the icon image generation unit changes at least one of the color or shape of the image showing the user and the member in the consumer confirmation information based on the user's attribute information, the member's attribute information, and the food intake ratio information. (icon image correction process). Then, the display unit 23 displays an image showing the user or member as ingester confirmation information (S202, ingester confirmation information display step). The user can input the intake person information by selecting an image showing the user or member using the input unit 21 (S203, intake person information input step).

The support terminal 2a performs S105 and S106 in the same manner as S105 and S106 of the first embodiment, and ends the process by the support terminal 2a.

In Embodiment 3, when there is a plurality of purchased foods, the configuration is illustrated in which the consumer confirmation information is transmitted and the consumer information is received for each purchased food at once, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the support device 1B of Embodiment 3, when there are a plurality of purchased foods (S21, Yes), for example, the determination unit 17 checks the consumers of the plurality of purchased products individually, that is, in units of one purchased food. You may also send information. In this case, the support terminal 2a displays consumer confirmation information for each of the plurality of purchased foods. Then, the user inputs consumer information for each of the plurality of purchased foods, and the support terminal 2a outputs the consumer information to the support device 1B. The support device 1B receives the consumer information for each of the plurality of purchased foods. In this case, the determination unit 17 of the support device 1B may further determine whether consumer information has been received for all purchased foods. Then, S22 and S23 are repeated until the consumer information is received for all purchased foods. After acquiring the consumer information for all purchased foods, steps S3 to S5 are performed in the same manner as steps S3 to S5 in the process of the support device 1A of the second embodiment, and the process ends.

In the support device 1B of Embodiment 3, the determining unit 17 determines from the purchased food information whether there is a plurality of purchased foods, but the support terminal 2a can also determine whether there is a plurality of purchased foods. good. In this case, the support terminal 2a includes a determination unit. Then, when the purchased food information and the consumer information are input by the user, the determination unit in the user terminal 2a determines whether there is a plurality of purchased foods, in the same manner as the determination unit 17 of the support device 1B. (judgment process). If there is a plurality of purchased foods, the determination unit further determines whether the consumer information has been input for all of the purchased foods. Then, inputting the purchased food information and the consumer information is repeated until the consumer information is input for all purchased foods. When the consumer information is input for all purchased foods, the communication unit 22 outputs the purchased food information and the consumer information to the support device 1B. Although the description has been given using an example in which the purchased food information and the consumer information are output to the support device 1B after the consumer information is input for all purchased foods, the present invention is not limited to this.

[Embodiment 4]
In the present embodiment, the support device of Embodiment 1 includes a reference value calculation unit, and the reference value calculation unit calculates attribute information of the user, attribute information of the member, and intake reference values of nutritional components for each attribute. Embodiment 1 is the same as the first embodiment except that the user's nutritional component reference value and the member's nutritional component reference value are calculated from the above. In this embodiment, the reference value calculation unit calculates the reference value of the nutritional components of the user and the reference value of the nutritional components of the member, and the nutritional components ingested by the user and the reference value of the nutritional components of the user are calculated. Since the nutritional status of the user is estimated based on the nutritional status of the user and the nutritional status of the member is estimated from the nutritional components ingested by the member and the reference value of the nutritional components of the member, the nutritional status of the user and the user can be estimated with better accuracy. The nutritional status of the member can be estimated.

FIG. 13 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an example of the support device 1C of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 13, the support device 1C includes a reference value calculation unit 18 in addition to the configuration of the support device 1 of the first embodiment. The hardware configuration of the support device 1C is the same as the hardware configuration of the support device 1 in FIG. 2 except that the CPU 101 has the configuration of the support device 1C in FIG. 13 instead of the configuration of the support device 1 in FIG. be.

An example of processing in the support device 1C of this embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. 14. Note that in this embodiment, the processing of the support terminal 2a is the same as the processing of the support terminal 2a of the first embodiment, so the description thereof will be omitted.

Prior to the processing by the support device 1C, the user first enters, through the input unit 21 of the user's support terminal 2a, in addition to the food intake ratio information of the user and the members associated with the user, the user's attribute information and the members' Enter attribute information. For the attribute information, for example, the above description can be used.

Next, processing by the support device 1C is started. First, the user information acquisition unit 10 acquires the user's attribute information and the member's attribute information in addition to the food intake ratio information output from the support terminal 2a (S1, user information acquisition step).

Next, the reference value calculation unit 18 calculates the reference value of the user's nutritional component and the nutritional component of the member from the user's attribute information, the member's attribute information, and the nutritional component intake standard value for each attribute. A reference value is calculated (S31, reference value calculation step). Specifically, the reference values of the nutritional components are extracted by, for example, extracting the values of the corresponding nutritional components from the nutritional component intake standards for each attribute based on the user's attribute information and the member's attribute information. It can be calculated by integrating the nutritional component values for each nutritional component. The intake reference value of the nutritional component is preferably within a numerical range. In this case, the intake reference value of the nutritional component can also be called the intake reference range of the nutritional component. The intake reference range of the nutritional components is, for example, a range of ±15% of the calculated intake reference value of the nutritional components, preferably a range of ±10% or ±5% of the calculated intake reference value of the nutritional components. Can be set. For example, if the user is Japanese, the standard intake values for nutritional components for each attribute may be the standard values for nutritional components recommended by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, and a specific example is the Dietary Intake Standards for Japanese (2015). (Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare). When the user is a person other than Japanese, the intake standards for nutritional components for each attribute can be referred to, for example, the dietary intake standards in the user's country of origin. The reference value may be, for example, a numerical range defined by a lower limit value and an upper limit value.

Next, S2 and S3 are performed in the same manner as S2 and S3 in the process of the support device 1 of the first embodiment.

Next, the nutritional state estimating unit 13 estimates the nutritional state of the user from the nutritional components ingested by the user and the reference value of the nutritional components of the user, and estimates the nutritional state of the user from the nutritional components ingested by the member and the nutritional components of the member. The nutritional status of the member is estimated from the reference values of nutritional components (S4, nutritional status estimation step). Note that this step uses the user's nutritional component reference value or the member's nutritional component reference value instead of the ingested nutritional component reference value in S4 of the process of the support device 1 of Embodiment 1. It is the same except that.

Then, S5 is performed in the same manner as S5 in the process of the support device 1 of the first embodiment, and the process of the support device 1C ends.

In addition, in this embodiment, S31 was performed between S1 and S2, but the present invention is not limited to this, and S31 may be performed before S4. Further, when S31 is performed before S1, the present invention stores the user's attribute information and the member's attribute information in the storage device 104 in advance, for example. Then, the reference value calculation unit 18 obtains the user's attribute information and the member's attribute information from the storage device 104, for example, and calculates the reference value.

[Embodiment 5]
In this embodiment, the support device of Embodiment 1 includes a character image creation section, and the character image creation section creates a character image representing the user and a member based on the nutritional state of the user and the nutritional state of the member. This embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except that a character image is created. In this embodiment, the nutritional status of the user and the nutritional status of the member can be presented to the user as a character image. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the user's nutritional status and the nutritional status of the members, which are psychologically difficult to disclose to a third party, are made into character images, thereby making it easier to disclose them to a third party. Therefore, according to this embodiment, a third party can intervene in the health management of users and members, and can promote health management of users and members.

FIG. 15 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an example of the support device 1D of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 15, the support device 1D further includes a character image creation section 19. The hardware configuration of the support device 1A is the same as the hardware configuration of the support device 1 in FIG. 2 except that the CPU 101 has the configuration of the support device 1D in FIG. 15 instead of the configuration of the support device 1 in FIG. be.

An example of processing in the support device 1D of this embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. 16 and the explanatory diagram of FIG. 17. Note that in this embodiment, the processing of the support terminal 2a is the same as the processing of the support terminal 2a of the first embodiment, so the description thereof will be omitted.

First, S1 to S4 are performed in the same manner as S1 to S4 in the processing of the support device 1 of the first embodiment.

Next, the character image creation unit 19 creates a character image representing the user and a character image representing the member from the nutritional state of the user and the nutritional state of the member (S41, character image creation step). The character image can also be called an avatar. The character image may be a human-type character image or a non-human-type character image, but the latter is preferable because the user and the member can more easily accept the nutritional status of the user and the nutritional status of the member. preferable. For example, as shown in character images 4a, b, c, and d in FIG. 17(A), the character image is created by associating each nutritional status with a character image in advance, and then associating each nutritional status with the character image corresponding to the nutritional status. It may be created by extracting a character image. The character image may be created by, for example, adding an expression or the like corresponding to the nutritional state to a character image specified by a user or a member.

If there are a plurality of nutritional states, the character image creation unit 19 may create character images corresponding to each of the nutritional states. Examples of the plurality of nutritional states include "Well", "Slim", "Anger", "Fat", "Strong (Muscular)", "Beauty", "Weak", and "Dry".

The "Well" means, for example, that the nutritional status of the user or member is good, and specifically, the nutritional components ingested by the user or member and the nutritional components of the user or member are in good condition. It means a state in which there is no excess or deficiency when compared with the standard value.

The "Slim" means, for example, that the nutritional status of the user or member is insufficient, and specifically, the nutritional content of the user or member is the same as the nutritional content of the user or member. It means a state in which any one nutritional component selected from the group consisting of energy (calories), carbohydrates, fats, and proteins is insufficient when compared with a reference value.

The "Fat" means, for example, a state in which the nutritional status of the user or member is excessive, and specifically, the nutritional components ingested by the user or member and the reference value of the nutritional components of the user or member. It means a state in which any one nutritional component selected from the group consisting of energy (calories), carbohydrates, fats, and proteins is in excess when compared with the following.

The "Anger" means, for example, a state in which salt is excessive in the nutritional state of the user or member, and specifically, the nutritional components ingested by the user or member and the nutritional components of the user or member. refers to a state in which the salt content is excessive when compared with the standard value.

The term "Strong (Muscular)" means, for example, a state in which protein is excessive in the nutritional state of the user or member, and specifically, the term "Strong (Muscular)" refers to a state in which protein is excessive in the nutritional state of the user or member, and specifically, the nutritional components ingested by the user or member This refers to a state in which protein is in excess when compared to the standard value of nutritional components.

The "Beauty" refers to, for example, a nutritional state of the user or member in which vitamins and minerals are good. Specifically, it means that when the nutritional components ingested by the user or member are compared with the reference value of the nutritional components of the user or member, there is no excess or deficiency in vitamins and minerals.

The term "Weak" refers to, for example, a state where the nutritional status of the user or member is insufficient in vitamins and minerals. It means a state in which vitamins and minerals are deficient when comparing the standard values of the ingredients.

The above-mentioned "Dry" means, for example, a state in which dietary fiber is insufficient in the nutritional state of the user or member, and specifically, the nutritional components ingested by the user or member and the nutritional components of the user or member This means that there is a lack of dietary fiber when compared with the standard value.

The above-mentioned "excessive" means, for example, when comparing the nutritional components ingested by the user or member with the standard value of the nutritional components of the user or member, the ingested nutritional components are relatively higher than the standard value. Specifically, it means a state in which the ingested nutritional components are 120% or more relative to the reference value. The "insufficient" means, for example, that when the nutritional components ingested by the user or member are compared with the reference value of the nutritional components of the user or member, the ingested nutritional components are relatively lower than the reference value. Specifically, it means a state in which the ingested nutritional components are relatively 80% or less of the reference value. The "good condition (no excess or deficiency)" means, for example, when comparing the nutritional components ingested by the user or member with the reference value of the nutritional components of the user or member, the ingested nutritional components, It means a state in which there is no excess or deficiency in relation to the reference value, and specifically, it means a state in which the ingested nutritional components are relatively more than 80% and less than 120% of the reference value. .

The character image may display, for example, the nutritional status implied by the image together with the image.

Next, the output unit 14 outputs a character image representing the user and a character image representing the member as the nutritional state of the user and the nutritional state of the member (S42, output step). Specifically, the output unit 14 outputs a character image representing the user and a character image representing the member to the support terminal 2a via the communication device 108 and the communication line network 3. The support device 1D then ends the process. The character image output by the output unit 14 may be, for example, information about a character image, or information instructing display of a character image stored in the user's support terminal 2a.

The output character image is then acquired by the support terminal 2a via the communication unit 22 of the support terminal 2a. The character image is then displayed on the display unit 23 of the support terminal 2a. The support terminal 2a may display the character image at a specific location on the display unit 23 at all times, for example. Further, the support terminal 2a may display identification information such as the name of the user or member represented by the acquired character image near the character image representing the corresponding user or member.

The support device 1D of Embodiment 5 may change the display method of the character image according to the nutritional status of the user and the nutritional status of the member. Thereby, the support device 1D of the fifth embodiment can more effectively display the nutritional status of the user and the nutritional status of the member. When changing the display of the character image, the support device 1D of Embodiment 5, for example, changes the behavior of the character associated with the nutritional status (see FIG. 17(B)) from the nutritional status of the user and the nutritional status of the member. ), the character's facial expression (FIG. 17(A)), the background image for displaying the character image (FIG. 17(C)), and the display position of the character image (FIG. 17(C)). The control information acquisition unit may also include a control information acquisition unit that acquires control information for controlling one of the components. The control information is stored in the storage device 104, for example.
