Problems solved by technology

However, in the case of the body fat monitor of Patent Document 4, although it is suggested to measure the length from the crotch to the sole of the foot with a tape measure to form a fat monitor, the subject must measure the length from the crotch to the sole of the foot separately, and enter measurements with keys, it's hard to say that the device is easy to use especially for the elderly

Embodiment 1

[0085] 1 is an external perspective view of a body composition data acquisition device 10 as a first embodiment of the present invention, and a block diagram shown in FIG. 2 shows an overview of circuits included in the body composition data acquisition device 10. FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the control process when the body composition data acquisition device is used to acquire body composition data, and FIG. 4 shows a screen image displayed on the display part of the body composition data acquisition device 10.

[0086] The body composition data acquisition device 10 has a main body 1 . On the top surface 1a of the main body 1, the electrode group 2 includes electrodes 2a and 2b in contact with the sole of the left foot of the subject, and electrodes 2c and 2d in contact with the sole of the right foot of the subject. The electrodes 2a and 2c are connected to the current supply part 3 included in the main body 1, and are in contact with the toe sides of the soles of both ...

Embodiment 2

[0101] FIG. 5 is an external perspective view of a body composition data acquisition device 20 as a second embodiment of the present invention. Body composition data acquisition device 20 has the same structure as body composition data acquisition device 10 (first embodiment), but device 20 uses length measurement device 200 instead of length measurement device 100 used in body composition data acquisition device 10 . Accordingly, the same constituent parts as those in the device 10 are given the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions of the constituent parts are omitted.

[0102] The length measuring part 200 in this body composition data acquiring device 20 includes an ultrasonic transmitter 201 provided on the top surface 1a of the main body 1 so as to emit ultrasonic waves upward, and an ultrasonic transmitter 201 also provided on the top surface 1a of the main body 1 so as to receive the ultrasonic waves from above. Ultrasonic receiver 202 . These ultrasound ...

Embodiment 3

[0105] FIG. 6 is an external perspective view of a body composition data acquisition device 30 as a third embodiment of the present invention. Body composition data acquiring device 30 has the same structure as body composition data acquiring device 10 (first embodiment), but device 30 uses length measuring part 300 instead of length measuring part 100 used in body composition data acquiring device 10 . Accordingly, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same constituent parts as those in the device 10, and a detailed description of the constituent parts is omitted.

[0106] The length measuring part 300 in this body composition data acquiring device 30 includes a light emitter 301 provided on the top surface 1a of the main body 1 so as to emit light such as infrared light upward, and also provided on the top surface 1a of the main body 1 so as to be viewed from above A light receiver 302 that receives light. These light emitters 301 and light receivers 302 are betwe...

Abstract

A body composition data acquiring apparatus has a main unit comprising: bioelectrical impedance measuring means, body weight measuring means, leg length measuring means, and body composition data calculating means wherein the bioelectrical impedance measuring means measures a bioelectrical impedance between both feet by use of a group of electrodes which make contact with the bottoms of the feet of a subject, the bodyweight measuring means measures the body weight of the subject, the leg length measuring means measures the leg length of the subject, and the body composition data calculating means calculates the body composition data of the subject based on at least the bioelectrical impedance, body weight and leg length measured by these measuring means.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a body composition data acquisition device, which obtains body composition data such as body fat mass (percentage), total body water volume (percentage), muscle mass (percentage), and visceral fat area by measuring the bioelectrical impedance of a subject (Amount), Bone Mass, BCM (Body Cell Mass) and Basal Metabolic Rate. Specifically, it relates to a body composition data acquisition device that acquires body composition data based on at least bioelectrical impedance between feet of a subject and body weight, and leg length of the subject. Background technique [0002] Obtain body composition data such as body fat mass (percent), total body water (percent), muscle mass (percent), visceral fat area (volume), bone mass, BCM (body cell mass) by measuring the subject's bioelectrical impedance ) and basal metabolic rate body composition data acquisition devices are currently widely used in a variety of common household pur...
