JPH10305072A - Bath timer with calory consumption computing function - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: Not only to promote health but also to improve a relaxation effect and to effectively reduce fat as well by providing functions for calculating, storing and analyzing calory consumption from bathing time, the temperature of hot water and a change in the number of heartbeats during bathing and providing functions for calculating and displaying the calory consumption at the time of bathing. SOLUTION: The sex, age, height, weight and fat degree of the person to be measured are inputted, stored and analyzed and the number of heartbeats at quiet time is measured from an earlobe by a heartbeat measuring instrument 3, stored and analyzed. Next, the target value of calory consumption due to bathing is inputted. Then, the calory consumption is calculated from the bathing time, the temperature of hot water and the change in the number of heartbeats during bathing, stored and analyzed and a calculated numerical value is displayed by a man-shaped digital indication 5. When calories more than a reference value age consumed with the target value of calory consumption as a reference, concerning this digital indication 5, the man- shaped digital indication 5 is made thin and when calories less than the reference value are consumed, it is made thick so that the result with respect to the target value can be easily confirmed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[Industrial application] Bath timer with calorie consumption calculation function that memorizes and displays the calorie consumption of the human body during bathing. In particular, a measurement function that has a display function that allows the display method to be visually observed with numbers and a human-shaped digital display, stores the calculated result for a long time, and confirms the change in the numerical value for each set period vessel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional bath, only a timer function is used, and a device for measuring calorie consumption is not supplied.

[0003]

In recent years, among the health problems of the measurer, lack of exercise, obesity due to a high calorie diet, coldness and poor blood circulation, etc., are mentioned. There was no device having a function of analyzing and displaying the effect as a clear numerical value, and the bathing effect was unclear.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The gender, age, height, weight, obesity degree, and heart rate at rest of the measurer are memorized and analyzed, and the calorie consumption based on changes in bathing time, hot water temperature, and heart rate during bathing. Is calculated, stored, and analyzed. The display method is based on digital display in the form of numbers and people.

A method for calculating the calorie consumption based on the heart rate is described in “Science of Physical Education” edited by the Japanese Society of Physical Education, Vol.
l. 36No11, Special Feature, Calorie Balance and Exercise], etc.

The method of calculating calorie consumption based on bathing time and temperature of hot water during bathing is as follows: gender, age, height,
Actual records are collected for persons with different weights and obesity levels, and the average value is determined.

The display method is as follows. "Numbers" ... heart rate, bathing time, hot water temperature,
Calorie consumption, "Digital display in the shape of a person" ... The digital display in the shape of a person changes according to the calorie consumption, and can be confirmed visually.

[0008]

[Function and effect] The bath timer with calorie consumption calculation function calculates and displays the calorie consumption by taking a bath, which not only promotes health but also enhances the relaxation effect and further causes adult diseases. It is also effective in eliminating obesity.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a body designed to be waterproof with suitable materials such as water-resistant plastic, 2 is a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of hot water in a bathtub, and is stored in the body when not in use. 3 is a heart rate from earlobe. The heart rate measuring device to be measured is stored in the main body when not in use. 4 is a liquid crystal display screen that displays the temperature of hot water, bathing time, calorie consumption, heart rate, initial settings, etc. 5 is a human figure The digital display has a display function for visually observing the result of the measurement for the target calorie consumption by using a digital display, 6 is a power switch, 7 is a setting, input button, 8
Is a button for time measurement.

[0010] The sex, age, height, weight, and obesity of the measurer are input, stored and analyzed, and the heart rate at rest is measured from the earlobe with a heart rate meter and stored and analyzed. Next, a target value of calorie consumption by bathing is input. Next, calorie consumption is calculated, stored, and analyzed from changes in bathing time, hot water temperature, and heart rate during bathing, and the calculated numerical value is displayed on a digital display in the form of a numeral and a person.

[0011] The digital display in the form of a person means that the digital display in the form of a person becomes thinner when the target value of calorie consumption is used as a reference value, and when the user consumes less than the reference value, the digital display becomes smaller. This function makes it easy to visually confirm the result with respect to the target value by increasing the thickness of the human-shaped digital display.

Numerical values of calories consumed by taking a bath are tabulated for each set period, and have a function of confirming a weekly or monthly increase / decrease, a degree of achievement of a target, and the like.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the act of taking a bath is a concrete and scientific act by checking calorie consumption and heart rate, and it is easy to confirm obesity elimination due to a decrease in body fat. This is a health promotion device that has an excellent function and is also a good solution as a solution to coldness and poor circulation, and also has a relaxation effect.
