System and method for providing health information by using physical information {System and method for providing health information by making use of bodily information}

The present invention relates to a system and method for providing information to an information user using a communication network, and more particularly, to a health information providing system using body information for providing health information using body information data provided from the information user; It is about a method.

With the development of computer technology and information and communication technology, the distribution of information using computer networks such as the Internet is increasing rapidly. Such information may include information related to health or diet, particularly health or diet information for distribution of exercise or diet-related information (in the present invention, 'diet information') for weight loss / increase / maintenance. A lot of Internet sites have appeared. Since the distribution of information through the Internet is carried out beyond space, there is an advantage that the information provider and the information user are not limited by physical time and space. There is also an Internet site that provides a diet diary that allows the user to record whether or not the user of the information according to the diet information.

However, although it is desirable to provide diet information in accordance with the user's physical condition and life patterns, existing Internet sites that provide health or diet information provide diet information uniformly according to the body information provided by the information user. The range of diet information that the user can select is limited.

In addition, the existing Internet site for providing health and diet information mainly stays at the level of providing simple diet information, and in particular, even if a diet diary is provided to manage the diet of individual information users, it was merely a recording means.

In addition, the diet diary according to the nutritional information and the diet diary according to the exercise information are not harmoniously evaluated, and each evaluation is possible only. Therefore, it is recommended to exercise and control the diet as a healthy diet, but there is a disadvantage that can not be evaluated together.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to comprehensively evaluate the user's body information and life patterns to provide a plurality of diet information most suitable for each user, and to allow the user to directly select diet information from the plurality of diet information.

Another object of the present invention is to comprehensively evaluate a diet diary created by a user and provide the user with the evaluated information.

In addition, the above components are not limited to the specifically mentioned components and may be replaced by other similar means that will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

3 is a general flowchart showing a health information providing method by the health information providing system according to the present invention. The information user starts from the step of connecting 81 to the home page of the health information providing system by means such as a computer. Depending on whether the information user who accesses the home page is a member or a nonmember, the following proceeds.

First, after accessing the home page, whether a member or non-member, the general menu use 82 is possible.

Next, in the case of a member, various information of the home page may be used through the login 83. The login (83) method is a procedure of first entering a member ID, password, and today's weight (84) to undergo membership authentication (85), and displaying a weight change based on the entered today's weight. It can be confirmed by the / calorie change graph 86. In addition, the logged in information user (83) can use the general menu, including the member menu (87, 88).

In the case of a non-member through the membership (90) can use the member menu, including the general menu. That is, the non-member selects the member registration menu 90 to create a membership application 100. After filling out the membership application form 100, health information related to nutrition and / or exercise prescription or counseling office may be provided.

Briefly referring to the step of receiving health information related to nutrition and / or exercise prescription, inputting body information 110, analyzing body information data 120, and determining a physical condition 130 And a step 140 of proceeding with the prescription procedure by calculating nutrition and / or exercise prescription data, generating a diet diary 160, comprehensively evaluating the diet diary 180, and prescribing result and body And outputting the change 190. This will be described in more detail below.

The step of receiving health information using the counseling room may include selecting an expert in a desired field after selecting a counseling room menu of the member menu (210), writing a consultation content (230), and And determining the confidentiality of the consultation content (240) and checking the answer (250). Of course, the expert in the counseling room is an expert in the field of providing health information to the information user, for example, in the fields of exercise, nutrition, sports massage, skin care, psychology, gene, herbal medicine. In the case of selecting confidential counseling at the stage of deciding whether to set the confidentiality of the counseling contents, only the counseling members can be viewed in the logged in state, and in the case of the public counseling, the counseling contents can be viewed by both members and nonmembers.

A membership registration procedure 90 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. First, when the user accesses the initial screen of the home page and selects the member registration menu 91, a step of inquiring whether the user agrees to the subscription terms together with the subscription terms proceeds (92). After reviewing the subscription terms, the information user decides whether to agree. At this time, if you do not agree to the terms and conditions, for example, if you select the 'Cancel' button, only the general menu is available (93) .If you agree to the terms and conditions, for example, if you select the 'I accept the terms' button, The creation process proceeds (100). In the membership application (100), first enter the ID for membership (101), check whether there is a duplicate (102), and if duplicated, enter the ID again (101) to repeat the above-described process, If prompted, enter the user's general information (103). That is, the password, name, social security number, age, gender, occupation, email, address, telephone, telephone number, whether to receive mail in the membership application form 100, the information of the user entered during the membership registration of the web server It is stored in the member basic information DB. If the above user immediately or afterwards accesses the home page and enters the specified ID, password and today's weight (95), the web server searches for whether the entered ID and password match and confirms that the match is made. Make the member menu available. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the step of selecting 'get nutrition and / or exercise prescription' is performed 111.

On the other hand, when the existing member, that is, the member who received the nutrition and / or exercise prescription, accesses the home page and enters the specified ID, password and today's weight, the web server searches for the ID and the password, and then matches the same. When you confirm that you want to move the member menu. It also displays weight / calorie changes as a graph based on today's weight, and extracts the member's nutrition and / or exercise prescriptions, nutrition and / or exercise diary information from the database, and displays them on the home page.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the step of inputting body information is performed. That is, when the first logged-in user selects 111 to receive nutrition and / or exercise prescription, step 110 of inputting body information for nutrition and / or exercise prescription is performed. The body information 113 essentially includes information on weight, height, and activity index, and includes information about waist circumference, hip circumference, body fat, a particular part to be selected for diet (114), and pregnancy in women (115). Optionally include. Meanwhile, when the first logged-in user does not select 'get nutrition and / or exercise prescription', the user may use the general menu including the member menu (112). However, since no nutrition and / or exercise regimen has been received, only the personal information change menu 64 and the consultation room menu 66 can be used among the member menu 54 shown in FIG. 2.

Next, in operation 120, the body information data provided by the information user is received and analyzed by the health information providing system. That is, the standard weight of the information user is calculated based on the body information data (121). The standard weight may be calculated using the height information data as described in Equation 1, or may be calculated based on body fat as described in Equation 2. Meanwhile, the reference of Equation 1 is "Physical Science Researcher", and the reference of Equation 2 is "Bruce J. Nobel: Physiology of Exercise and Sports P.352".

Standard weight (height)

Male = (height * 100) * 0.92

Female = (height × 100) × 0.86

Standard weight (based on body fat)

Standard weight = lean body mass / (1- or more body fat)

Fat loss amount = weight X (1-body fat)

And the average value for each age of body fat amount is shown in Table 1. References in Table 1 are "ACSM's Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription 5th edition."

age man(%) Woman(%) 20 to 29 14.2 20.9 30-39 17.5 21.6 40-49 19.6 24.9 50 to 59 21.3 28.5 60 or more 22.0 29.3

Next, based on the analysis result of the physical information data, the health information providing system proceeds to determine the physical condition of the information user (130). That is, the weight of the information user to be reduced / increased is calculated based on the difference between the standard weight and the current weight of the information user (131), and the degree of obesity is evaluated (133). Evaluating the obesity degree 133 may use the result of the body information data analysis step as it is. Obesity degree is calculated as "obesity degree (%) = (current weight / standard weight) x 100". Obesity is assessed as "normal" when the obesity degree is 90-100%, "overweight" when 110-120%, and "obesity" when 120% or more.

However, the evaluation of such obesity is not limited to the above three. Detailed evaluation is also possible based on body fat, gender and age. For example, obesity may be evaluated based on the body fats of Tables 2, 3, and 1 below.

In addition, the body mass index (BMI) can be used to assess obesity. BMI is the most commonly used indicator of obesity and is estimated as the ratio of weight to height. That is, it calculates as "BMI = weight (kg) / key ² (㎡)" and is shown in Table 4 as a criterion.

Criteria water chestnut normal Overweight obesity 19 or less 20-25 26-29 30 or more

Alternatively, the degree of obesity can be assessed using a waist to hip ratio (WHR). WHR is an index indicating abdominal obesity, and is calculated as "WHR = waist circumference / hip circumference" and is shown in Table 5 as a criterion.

Criteria division water chestnut normal obesity Very obese south 0.79 or less 0.80 to 0.94 0.95-0.99 1.0 or higher female 0.69 or less 0.70 to 0.84 0.85-0.89 0.9 or more

Alternatively, as described in Table 6, a combination of BMI and WHR may be used to evaluate obesity. Meanwhile, the obesity degree shown in Table 6 may be displayed using a character.

WHR＼BMI water chestnut normal Overweight obesity water chestnut water chestnut normal Lower body obesity Lower body obesity normal water chestnut normal Lower body obesity Lower body obesity Overweight Abdominal obesity Abdominal obesity obesity obesity obesity Abdominal obesity Abdominal obesity obesity obesity

Next, the nutrition and / or exercise prescription step proceeds as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 (140). The nutrition and / or exercise prescription data includes nutrition prescription data, exercise prescription data, nutrition / exercise prescription data, and is referred to as 'prescription type' when referring to any one of the three prescription data.

First, the web server calculates nutritional and / or exercise prescription data according to the result of evaluating the obesity degree of the information user. That is, it is determined whether the current user's current weight is equal to the standard weight (141). At this time, the standard weight is calculated by the formula provided by Equation 1 or Equation 2, when the body fat information is not provided, the standard weight calculated by Equation 1 is used, and when the body fat information is provided, The standard weight calculated by 2 is used.

Since the standard weight and the current weight are the same, there is no need to diet separately, so the nutrition and / or exercise prescription data is calculated to receive the prescription 143 at the desired weight, and the information user can calculate the nutrition and / or exercise prescription data. The prescription type may be selected from 200. If not the same, the nutrition and / or exercise prescription data is calculated to basically receive the prescription 142 at the standard weight, which may or may not be selected by the information user. If not selected, nutrition and / or exercise prescription data is calculated to receive the prescription 143 at a desired weight, and the information user may select the prescription type 200 from the calculated nutrition and / or exercise prescription data. Next, by confirming the selected prescription type and then registering 145, the nutrition and / or exercise prescription procedure 140 is completed. On the other hand, by registering a prescription type, a diet diary is generated (160 in FIG. 3).

Referring to FIG. 7 in more detail with reference to step 143 to receive the desired weight as follows.

First, when the information user inputs the desired weight (151), the web server compares the standard weight with the desired weight and proposes a recommended diet period (152). For example, a recommended diet period is suggested to reduce / increase by about 0.5 kg per week. In other words, it is calculated as "(loss / weight to be increased) /0.5=recommended diet period (week)".

When the information user inputs the desired diet period in consideration of the recommended diet period (153), the web server determines the suitability of the desired diet by comparing the standard weight and the desired weight, the recommended diet period and the desired diet period (153). For example, if the desired diet is bonded to proceed to the step of selecting a prescription type (200), if the inappropriate is divided into the following two cases. First, it may be divided into a case in which an inadequate but desired diet is possible and a desired diet is impossible.

In the first case, first, with the warning message 155 indicating that the desired diet is inadequate, a step 157 in which the information user can select whether or not to proceed with the desired diet is performed. If the information user selects the desired diet, the process proceeds to step 200 of selecting a prescription type, and if not, inputting a diet period 153 again. For example, in the case of losing weight, a warning message 155 is provided when " loss weight / current weight > 0.0055 ".

In the second case, first, after the warning message 156 is provided that the desired diet is impossible, the step 153 of inputting the diet period can be performed again. For example, in the case of a weight loss, a warning message 156 is provided that it is impossible if "loss weight / current weight> 0.0075".

The prescription type 200 is divided into a nutrition prescription menu 201, an exercise prescription menu 202, and a nutrition / exercise prescription menu 203, as shown in FIG. 8.

The nutrition prescription menu 201 calculates and presents daily recommended nutritional calories based on the user's personal information (204), selects the desired diet from the recommended calorie diet (205) and nutritional prescription results. Computing and displaying (206). The recommended daily calorie calories are derived from fewer calories than are currently needed to maintain weight. The diet selection step 205 can be omitted.

The exercise prescription menu 202 may include presenting daily recommended nutritional calories and exercise consumption calories based on the user's personal information (207), selecting a diet for nutritional calories for weight maintenance (208), and recommended consumption Selecting a type of exercise for calories (209) and calculating and displaying the nutrition recommended amount and exercise prescription results (210).

The nutrition / exercise prescription menu 203 may include presenting daily recommended nutritional calories and exercise consumption calories based on the user's personal information (211), selecting a diet for the recommended calories (212), and for the recommended calories burned. Selecting a type of exercise (213), and calculating and displaying the nutritional recommendation amount and exercise prescription results (214).

On the other hand, the prescription type 200 is selected according to the result of the obesity evaluation, and proceeds to an increase program or a loss program, whether prescribed by the standard weight or the desired weight. In the case of an increase program, the exercise prescription menu 202 may be selected from the remaining prescription menus 201 and 203, and in the case of a weight loss program, three prescription types 201, 202 and 203 may be selected.

Of course, if you want to modify after the prescription can be modified by selecting the nutrition / exercise prescription change menu 63 of the member menu 54 of FIG.

The diet diary is generated by selecting the prescription type 200 as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, and the user prepares a diet diary to write in the diet diary whether or not to practice according to the prescription selected by the user. The diet diary includes a nutrition diary and an exercise diary, and the diet diary generated is different depending on which prescription menu the user selects. That is, when the user selects the nutrition prescription menu 161, the nutrition diary 162 is generated. When the user selects the exercise prescription menu 163 or the nutrition / exercise prescription menu 164, the nutrition diary 165 is displayed. The exercise diary 166 is generated.

Next, the user proceeds to write a diet diary. For example, when the nutrition / exercise prescription menu 164 is selected, the nutrition diary does not need to be modified when the meal is eaten on the same diet as the nutrition diary 165 generated earlier. However, if it is eaten differently from the suggested diet, searching for the name of the food, modifying, deleting or adding it will calculate the daily nutritional calories accordingly and the nutrition journal will be modified. This corrective work is to create a English-English diary (172).

In addition, in the case of exercising as described in the generated exercise diary 166, it is not necessary to correct the exercise diary. However, if the exercise is different from the selected exercise method, by searching for, modifying, deleting or adding the exercise purpose, the daily exercise calories are calculated accordingly, and the exercise diary is modified.
