Abstract

PURPOSE:To calculate a calorie intake quantity of a user from a menu of the meal of the user and to offer the calorie intake quantity and one-point health advice to the user by allowing a host computer having a POS terminal and an electronic exchange to attain giving/receiving of mutual information. CONSTITUTION:The host computer 3 uses the menu information of the meal of the user inputted from a POS terminal 4 installed in a restaurant or the like and a calorie data 6 inputted in advance in a data base 5 so as to calculate the user calorie intake quantity. Then the result is registered in a registration area 8 represented by a number (registration number) of the user registered in advance in the data base 5. Succeedingly, the host computer 3 uses the registered calorie intake quantity and the calorie data 6 to select a proper advice among advice data 7 inputted in the data base 5 and registers the advice into the registration area 8. When the user dials its registration number from a telephone set 2, the electronic exchange 1 inquires about the content to the host computer 3, receives the information in the registration area 8, and the information is returned from the telephone set 2 to the user.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a calorie intake information service system in an electronic exchange.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of calorie intake information was obtained by looking at a calorie table by oneself.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional calorie intake information mentioned above is displayed on the menus of cafeterias, etc., but few people pay attention to calories when eating, and it is important to understand what nutrients you are lacking in. The disadvantage is that it cannot be done.

An object of the present invention is to provide a calorie intake information service system that solves the above problems.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, in the calorie intake information service system according to the present invention, an H having a POS terminal installed in a cafeteria or the like as a terminal.

The host computer and electronic exchange are connected to enable mutual exchange of information, and the host computer calculates the user's calorie intake based on the user's meal menu information sent from the POS terminal. It creates health advice from the information and provides calorie intake data and health advice via an electronic exchange.

(Example〕 Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the contents of a database.

An electronic exchange 1 accommodates a telephone 2 and a Ho5t (host) computer 3 such that they can communicate with each other. Also, Ho
The st computer 3 has a POS terminal 4 installed in a cafeteria etc. as a terminal, and also has a database 5.
has. The database 5 includes calorie data 6, advice data 7, and registration area 8.
The computer 3 calculates the user's calorie intake using the user's meal menu information inputted from the POS terminal 4 and the calorie data 6 inputted in advance into the database 5. Register in area 8 (hereinafter referred to as registration area) indicated by the registered user number (hereinafter referred to as registration number). continue,
The host computer 3 uses the registered calorie intake and calorie data 6 to select appropriate advice from among the advice data 7 input in the database 5, and stores the selected advice in the registration area 8 in the database 5. Register advice data. On the other hand, when the user dials the registration number using the telephone 2 to ask for calorie intake information, the electronic exchange 1
^ When the time is up, information on the registration area 8 is sent to the electronic exchange 1. The transmitted data is sent to telephone 2 via electronic exchange 1.
will be sent to the user.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention is an H
By allowing the host computer and the electronic exchange to exchange information with each other, it is possible to
A computer calculates the user's calorie intake, determines the calorie status from the user's calorie intake, and provides the user with calorie intake and one-point health advice via an electronic exchange.1 Cafeteria use By dialing the registration number, the person can determine how many calories he or she is consuming and whether the calorie intake is appropriate for health, and send the information to the user. is sufficiently effective.
