In the case of the increase, the server calculates the correlation between the push-ups and the increase in the muscle mass, so that 3 corresponds to the fast running the correlation index between the exercise with the maximum of 10 and the increase in the muscle mass. The higher value of 8 can be estimated. In addition, when 50 push-ups are performed every day from the second time point to the third time point three months later, and only the protein food including chicken breast is fed, the muscle mass increase is improved to 15%. The server can calculate the correlation between protein foods and muscle mass gains, and estimate 9, up from 8 already. Therefore, the degree of association between the one or more elements included in the first user record information 340 and the first body component change amount information 330 may be output to the user. Detailed descriptions and numerical limitations of the above-described association information 350 are exemplary only, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

The association information 350 may be updated based on the second body component change amount information including information about the generated body composition change.

For example, based on the first user record information 340 and the first body composition change amount information 330 between the first time point and the second time point one week later, the body 200 rate is 200 kcal. Correlation information 350 corresponding to 'high' with the decrease may be calculated. The server 200 includes second user record information including an average daily activity amount of 200 kcal from the first time point and a third time point one month later, and a second body composition change amount including a low body fat percentage change in the first body composition change amount. Based on the information, the relevance information 350 determines that the relevance information corresponding to 'high' with the decrease of the body fat percentage is no longer accurate due to the decrease of the body fat percentage of the user, and the body fat percentage is equal to the average daily activity of 200 kcal of the user. The new association information 350 corresponding to the middle of the decrease may be updated. The above-mentioned update and numerical limitation of the relevance information 350 of the server 200 are merely described in detail, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, the update of the association information 350 according to another embodiment of the present invention may be performed by a processor on the user terminal 400.

When the correlation information 350 having the correlation between the activity amount 200 kcal and the decrease in the body fat percentage is generated as high, the correlation information generator 230 may generate a second time between the first time point and the third time point one month later. Based on the user record information and the second body composition change information, it is determined that the correlation information 350 does not accurately reflect the first user record information 340 regarding the amount of food to be fed, and the user's average daily activity amount of 200 kcal and body fat percentage The association with the decrease may be updated with the association information 350 having 'middle'. The above-described updating method and numerical limitation of the association information generation unit 230 are only illustrative examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

The association information generation unit 230 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include an association including customized association information 351 for the user when the update level evaluated for the association information 350 is greater than or equal to a predefined threshold. Information 350, and when the update level is below the predefined threshold, or when the association information is first generated, the association information 350 including standard association information 352 is generated. Generated, wherein the standard type association information 352 is an average value of the association information 350 for one or more other users having the user information 303 whose similarity with the user information 303 is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, or the user. Literature information based on the information 303 may be included.

More specifically, the association information generation unit 230 may include an association information evaluation unit (not shown) for evaluating the update level of the user of the association information 350. The association information evaluation unit may be determined based in part on at least one of body composition information, association information 350, first user record information 340, and first body component change amount information 330. The update level is a personalization level for the user as measured by the user over a period of time and over a certain number of times.

For example, the association information evaluation unit may be configured to generate the number of body composition information, the number of generation of the association information 350, the amount of data of the first user record information 340, the length of the period from the first time point to the second time point, The update level of the correlation information 350 may be determined based on the data amount of the first body component change amount information 330 and the number of updates of the first body component change amount information 330. The above criterion for determining the association information evaluation unit is only a detailed example, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

The association information evaluation unit may evaluate the update level by comparing the number of times that the association information generator 230 generates the association information 350 with a threshold value 1. When the number of generations of the association information generation unit is zero, the association information evaluation unit may determine that it has not yet provided personalized association information for the user. Based on the determination, the association information generation unit 230 may generate association information including standard-type association information stored in a database based on the 'twenties' and 'men' corresponding to the user information 303. . The above-described limitation of the evaluation method and the numerical value of the association information evaluation unit is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

Therefore, based on the determination result of the association information evaluation unit, when the update level of the association information 350 is greater than or equal to the predefined threshold value, the association information generation unit 230 includes customized association information 351 for the user. Association information 350 may be generated. And, if the update level of the association information 350 is less than the predefined threshold value based on the determination result of the association information evaluation unit, or if the association information is first generated, the association information is The average value of the association information 350 for one or more other users having the user information 303 whose similarity with the provided user information 303 is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, or the document information based on the user information 303 It may include standard association information 352 that includes.

The second user record information thereafter may be accumulated and stored and managed.

For example, when the user measures the body composition at a weekly cycle, the user record information generation unit 231 obtains user record information from the user terminal from the first time point at which the user measures the body composition, and the user works. Information about the type and amount of food eaten during the week can be stored and recorded. In addition, the user record information generation unit 231 may receive and store the activity amount of the user that is automatically measured through the sensor of the wearable activity measurement device. Therefore, the user record information generating unit 231 is the first user according to life for one week from the first time point and the second time point one week after the first time point of the user through the stored eating information and activity amount information. The record information 340 and the second user record information from the first time point to the third time point two weeks after the migration date may be accumulated and stored. The detailed description of the operation of the user record information generating unit 231 is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
