The weighting function may be the probability that erythema or DNA damage may occur depending on the wavelength of ultraviolet light.

As described above, since the ultraviolet data includes at least one of the first data corresponding to the intensity of UV-A and the second data corresponding to the intensity of UV-B, the controller 220 calculates the weight function, The UV-A index and the UV-B index included in the UV index can be calculated according to at least one of the data and the second data.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the UV-B index as shown in FIG. 5 can be derived by multiplying the weight function such as the erythema spectrum by the second data. Also, although not shown in the figure, the UV-A index can be derived by multiplying the first data by a weight function.

In FIG. 6, MED / H represents the minimum amount of erythema occurring per hour per hour as a minimum erythema dose per hour. MED / H can become larger as the UV-A index increases. MED / H can be obtained by experimentation or through a relationship with the UV-A index. For example, MED / H = (25/9) x UV-A index and the ratio of MED / H to UV-A index can be changed.

The MED / H can vary depending on the intensity of the sunlight, and the MED / H line from 1 to 4 is shown in FIG.

Since the UV-A index is proportional to the UV-A index and the UV-A index can be derived according to the first data as described above, the controller 220 calculates the MED / H index according to the first data and the maximum exposure time, H, or extract MED / H stored in advance from the recording medium 260.
