Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a nutritional intake indicator that calculates, analyzes and displays nutritional intake.

[Background technology]

First, if we consider nutrition, even normal healthy people need to take in balanced and appropriate nutrition. Knowing this is essential for dietary and nutritional management. Moreover, in the case of some diseases, proper dietary management is more important than drug treatment, and this dietary management is called dietary therapy.

For example, in the case of diabetes treatment, the basic drug treatment is insulin injection or oral diabetic medication. However, especially in middle-aged and older patients with mild symptoms and patients with glucose metabolism disorders, dietary therapy alone is sufficient to achieve the therapeutic goal. Furthermore, dietary therapy is always performed even if the patient is being treated by a doctor. And this diet must be permanent. In addition, diseases for which dietary therapy is used include heart failure, hypertension, renal disease, obesity, etc., and the importance of dietary therapy is increasing these days.

For this reason, food exchange tables are created in each country and daily menus are prepared based on them. However, by understanding the contents of food exchange tables and food composition tables, we can calculate the amount of labor required per day, which varies greatly by age, gender, and labor intensity.
It is not easy to decide on a meal that can be ingested while maintaining a balance in the composition of each food such as protein, fat, and carbohydrates by combining O or more types of foods, and is an extremely difficult task.

Currently, diabetic patients or their families are hospitalized or hospitalized for at least one day to a month of experiential dietary therapy under the supervision of a doctor or nutritionist and to understand the contents of a food exchange chart. When doctors and nutritionists provide dietary guidance to diabetic or obese patients, they consider age, lifetime, and labor intensity, and recommend a set number of days to ensure a well-balanced intake of each component of the food according to the classification of food exchange tables. Patients are instructed on the foods to be ingested as shown in Tables 1 and 2. On the other hand, patients measure the amount of food with a needle and a measuring spoon, perform double conversion using a conversion table, or measure the amount of food using a commercially available household calculator and convert it into units using an electronic desktop calculator. In addition to performing conversions and energy tsubo calculations, I kept records as shown in Tables 3 and 4. However, with the above method, it is difficult to remember the weight of one unit of food (80 yen), and the resolution of conventional household use was 51 or 100 ml, so it is difficult to remember the weight of one unit of food (80 yen). Even those who fully understand the necessity of dietary therapy and the contents of food exchange tables and food composition tables,
When applying it to J[, it is a complicated process, so it is easy to neglect and the intake amount of Energy A (unit number) becomes inaccurate, or excessive food intake or imbalance of each component may result in unbalanced intake etc. There are many examples.

1st person Table 2 3 Table 4 The "units" shown in Table 1 and Table 3.4 are 1 unit = 80
-t-o calories, and "Table 1" to "Table 6" and "Appendix" are based on the food exchange table for diabetes treatment (author: Japan Diabetes Society, publisher: Japan Diabetes Association). The classification is shown in Table 1 for fruits and vegetables, Table 3 for foods that mainly supply protein,
"Table 4" shows milks and dairy products, "Table 5" shows foods that mainly supply lipids, U-Table 61 shows foods that mainly supply pitatriamine and minerals, "Appendix" shows sugars and seasonings, Indicates other foods such as luxury items.

By the way, in order to easily do the above-mentioned conversion work, we have a conversion function that allows you to display the intake amount of 1st graders and 1st graders in unit conversion by simply inputting the 10-Yoshi data of 1st graders, etc. A nutritional intake indicator is provided that displays the intake amount of nutrients, composition, etc. of foods consumed or ingested.

By the way, when you enter data such as a code number individually assigned to each food, the entered code number is displayed on the digital display, and the nutrient intake indicator displays 119 "Actual intake of food". If you know the amount, input the weight value, and the digital display will display the weight value entered in the [g] field of the [-] number above.Based on the input M amount value. When the built-in arithmetic circuit calculates the amount of energy intake and composition intake (protein, fat, carbohydrate), the calculation results are displayed on the digital display.In this way, the digital display Because each input data and the output data are displayed using the same digital display section with 1, 4, and 7-segment display elements, such a nutritional intake indicator has the following disadvantages.

For example, when inputting the weight value of the food to be taken in digits, the digital display will already display the input food code number JS-, but if you press digits, it will not be displayed. The numerical value of the food code number that is present will be deleted.

The weight value entered by the Tenshi will be displayed on the digital display until the calculation result is obtained, but once the calculation result is obtained, the intake amount and composition intake (protein, fat, sugar Since the calculation results (quality) are displayed on the digital display, even if the user wants to check the food name and weight value, there is a problem in that the user cannot check the food name and weight value when the calculation results are already displayed. As a result, the user may forget which food the current energy intake or composition intake value was for, or what the intake amount was, causing inconvenience when using the product.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and
The purpose of this is to divide the digital display section into at least a food code number display section, an intake amount display section, and a calculation result display section so that the user can confirm the food name entered by the user and confirm the intake amount. To provide a nutritional intake indicator that allows accurate nutritional value and intake unit amount to be grasped.

Of course, the control of blinking, lighting, and turning off the display element (Ige) is the same as in the case of numerical input.

Now, next time, if you do not know the actual intake amount, but you do know the approximate amount, first press the 10- (26c) key ``as a guide'', and the arithmetic circuit section (I2) will fill up the food from the food code number you entered earlier. , one bowlful, - determine whether it is expressed in public, etc., and determine the weight value according to the relevant guideline amount (per unit of guideline amount)
Calculate 1. Next, multiply by the numerical value input from Ten-ju-(26a) and use the calculated result as the intake amount.0Here, for example, if we have 2 cups of rice, first, ``As a guide, J +
After inserting -(26c), enter the value of "2" from Ten-ju-(>6a), then "desu" Ju-(26d)
When inputted, the arithmetic circuit unit 112 calculates the standard intake amount by multiplying the pre-stored weight value per bowl by the number of bowls. Of course, the control of blinking, lighting, and turning off the display element (18e) is the same as in each input method described above.

Now, when the actual intake amount of the food ingested or to be ingested is input by any of the input methods described above, the arithmetic circuit unit (12) inputs the data stored in the temporary storage register (9). The input actual intake is multiplied to calculate the energy intake and composition intake (carbohydrate,
The calculation results for protein, fat, salt, potassium) and the unit of intake for each classification in the table corresponding to the exchange table 7-do will be calculated. At this time, the current Taiye Lido ℃-Doka; Exchange 1 In the back mode (that is, the display element (Iga) is lit), the display (2'
? t) indicates that there is no correspondence. Now, even when displaying this calculation result, the food code number display section (5a) and the intake amount display section (5b) continue to display the input food food bar and intake weight value, respectively.
The user can check which food the value currently displayed on the calculation result display section (5C) is, and what the intake weight value is.
There are advantages in being able to confirm the momme level and clearly comparing the output results. Now, the arithmetic circuit section (1) is the display frame (28d) in which the word "intake" is printed when displaying this calculation result.
Flash the display element (Igf) corresponding to the 1 calculation result to the classification and total storage unit (1) to select whether to "additionally store", "subtractively store", or "not store". These selections are made by pressing either ``+ intake'' 10-()6j), ``-intake'' ushi- (26J), or ``Mitsuishi'' 10-(26k). It will be done.

In other words, when - (260 is entered as 1) during "+ intake," the calculation circuit unit 02 calculates the energy f-1 carbohydrate, protein, fat, salt/gallium intake amount and conversion table classification. The corresponding number of units is added and stored in the storage area of the corresponding classification in the classification and total storage section (1), and the total energy f- and the number of units are stored in the respective areas and added to the data. The displays on the display sections (5a) to (5c) are in a lit state.

In addition, when [-intake J + - (26g) is pressed, subtraction is memorized, contrary to the addition memory when the above-mentioned "10 intake J't - (26j) is pressed," and 10-(
26k”), the classification and tally storage section (11k) is pressed.
is not stored and the display remains as is. Furthermore, at the same time as any of the above-mentioned +-(26j), (26k), and (26/) keys are pressed, the display element (18f) changes from a blinking state to an extinguished state under the control of the arithmetic circuit unit [+2]. Then, the display element (188) shifts from the off state to the blinking state again.
Returning to the initial food code number manual state is 0. Returning to this state allows the user to continue entering data and calculating nutritional values.

Now, the above-mentioned "10 intake j +-C26j)" or "- intake"
When you press the key (26g) to memorize the calculated data, if there is one in each table, appendix, or composition whose indicated intake exceeds the cumulative intake, the display of the relevant title will blink. This will notify the user that the intake amount exceeds the recommended amount. If the user makes an input error, "correction" will be done.
If you press 10-(26b), the input data will be cleared.
Of course, data can be entered from the beginning. Moreover, the above molecule li 4 (t.

To erase the contents of each component storage area in the meter storage section α, press [Erase j + - (26f). ” It is best to press the key 10- (26f). Furthermore, if the printer (7) is set, the food code number and actual intake amount will be printed out when the above-mentioned [+Intake + - (26g) or "-Intake" Cow - (26e) key is pressed. Ru. In the case of the "-intake" key (26e), a "-" sign is additionally printed in front of the numerical value of the actual intake amount.

Furthermore, when the exchange table is set to ℃-mode in the tie mode, the data of the instruction amount corresponding to the "total" number of units is first retrieved from the instruction amount storage section (lO) by the operation of the arithmetic circuit section (11). At the same time, data of the actual intake amount corresponding to the "total" is transferred from the classification and aggregation storage section (IS to the comparison calculation circuit section θ4), and the data of the actual intake amount for the instructed amount is transferred for 100 minutes. The calculation result is stored and held in a temporary storage register (I). This calculated data is input to the drive circuit Q6, and the drive circuit section displays the analog display section (6) of the display (3). ) is determined based on the calculated data, and a predetermined number of display segments (6a) are turned on, and at the same time, a number indicating a percentage is also turned on.In other words, one The display segment (6a) of is 10
The number of lights to be lit is determined by rounding the calculated data up, down, or down to the nearest tenth.

Therefore, the user can see at a glance the ratio of the actual intake ffX amount to the instruction @ by lighting up the display segment (6a) of the analog display section (6). In addition, in the nutritional value mode rather than the exchange table mode, the data of "Energy -" is used instead of the "total" number of units.

In this way, after inputting the actual intake amount or estimated amount of the food that the user ingests or intends to ingest, if the user wants to compare the intake amount up to the present with the instructed amount, during "judgment" -
You can press (26n). +1S Control moves to the determination processing routine shown in Figures (a) and (b). First, during “judgment” - (26
By pressing n), you can check the energy +b f'- intake, the total energy 1,000- intake, and protein 1. of the food corresponding to each classification table. The intake amounts of fat, carbohydrates, salt, and potassium are compared with the respective instructed amounts in that order, and the calculation results are stored in the temporary memory register 05), and the subsequent "display sending" is performed by the operator - (
26, , ), the calculation results are sequentially read out from the temporary storage register (punishment), and a display is performed based on the results.

This display is displayed in the calculation result display section (5C).
However, in the zero state where the instruction amount data is not stored in the instruction amount storage unit (10) in advance, the result of the comparison operation is marked with “+” and ’-” signs. Display without. This happens when the user forgets that the indicated amount is zero.
This is to avoid the misunderstanding that △Δ" is a value that exceeds the indicated amount. Of course, in this case, the display is based on the exchange table ℃ - de (
When the display element (18a) lights up), the display shows "Total" and "Table 1".

If X hl exceeds +16 by 7i, this also indicates that the indicated amount value is +2ook-. In addition, by pressing the key ``Display J = I = - (2 cans,)'', you can compare and display protein, buckwheat 1, carbohydrates, salt, and potassium in order.In this case, the calculated results can be displayed. The display section (5c) shows Comparison Le 1 and the indicator. Also, either the display section (291+) (29+t) corresponding to rfJ or r ffl J lights up, and at the same time, the display corresponding to each component is displayed. Display section (2 (7,) ~ (
2'7 r o) The corresponding one in (7) lights up. Then, when comparing the last "Potassium", press "Screen forward" (26q) to display "Energy" again.
The display section (293) lights up and the state returns to the initial state. Of course, if the lamp (7) is set, the results of the comparison with exchange deterioration-F and nutritional value are printed out for each 7-d, and the indicated amount is also printed out. When the power switches S and W are turned off after inputting the data, etc., the stored contents of the instruction amount storage section (10) and the classification and aggregation storage section θ3) are retained, and when the power switch SW is turned on again, the instruction amount storage section αO ) is not reset, the key returns to the initial state of the food data input mode (Figure 1S) (a), (b)
ThDI is a variable. By the way, "total intake" is 10 - (2
6m) is a ten-key for comparing and selecting at the end of the day, and when this "Intake Total" key (26m) is pressed, the comparison mode is entered, and the intake amount corresponding to each table and the pre-instructed amount are stored. The deviation from the data for each table stored in the unit (10) is determined by the comparison calculation circuit unit (14), and if the deviation (intake amount - indicated amount) is positive, the correspondence of that table is determined. The display section (29,) (2'?,) (2'?,) blinks, and the total intake is calculated and the result display section (5c)
It is displayed as follows. Of course, you may use other means such as issuing an alarm or flashing a warning lamp. Also, if the deviation is negative or zero, the display section (2'?4) (29,) (2'?,) remains lit. do. Needless to say, these operations are similar in nutritional value.

Furthermore, each time you press the ``display forward J 0- (26q)'' key, the display changes from ``Table 1'' to ``Table 6'' and ``Appendix.'' Of course, the first key to press is the ``total intake'' key (26m), and if the printer (7) is installed, the results will be printed on both the exchange IT card and the nutritional value card. ◇The processing routine for operating this "total intake" cow (26m) is shown in Figures 16 (a) and (b), where pT is a variable.

In addition, the food paper lid for calculating the intake amount in each example may of course include compositions of vitamins, calcium, iron, etc. in addition to the three major nutrients.

Next, we will explain the use of "salt" (26p).
