Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of body composition measurement technology, and in particular to a method for displaying body composition data. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, sports have become increasingly popular. Many people exercise to improve their physique, health, fitness, or strength. The results of their exercise are analyzed using body composition analyzers to determine whether their body measurements meet the standards, whether they have achieved the desired exercise effect, and to understand their current physical condition, so as to plan the most suitable exercise method for their needs.

[0003] Among them, most people who engage in sports pay the most attention to the body composition information of their own muscle and fat values, such as... Figure 1 The image shown is an analysis chart of the muscle and fat content of a subject measured by a common body composition analyzer on the market. It mainly uses radar charts and tables to display the muscle and fat values ​​of each limb segment of the subject for reference purposes.

[0004] However, the commonly used method of displaying body composition data only tells the test subject the values ​​of their muscle and fat, but does not let them know whether the measured values ​​are normal. To understand further, it is necessary to display the standard values ​​of muscle and fat in the form of a histogram, and then compare the test subject's measured muscle and fat values ​​with the standard values ​​in a histogram to let the test subject know whether their muscle and fat content is normal. However, since body composition analyzers can detect many items, such as total body water, protein weight, muscle and fat, etc., and these body composition data are often provided to the test subject in paper form, adding the aforementioned histogram comparing muscle or fat values ​​with standard values ​​would inevitably increase the paper size or require reducing the proportion of the displayed content, making the use of the above-mentioned body composition data display method still inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a method for displaying body composition data, which allows the test subject to understand whether the measured values ​​meet the standards without increasing the size of the paper or reducing the scale of the displayed content, thus providing convenience for use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for displaying body composition data, comprising: displaying a graphic; displaying a first region representing a first body component, the first region displaying the health status of the first body component according to the content of the graphic, and displaying an intersection point within the first region; displaying a second region representing a second body component, the second region surrounding the first region, the second region displaying the health status of the second body component according to the content of the graphic; and displaying a plurality of dividing lines, each dividing line intersecting the intersection point and dividing the first and second regions into a plurality of sub-regions, each sub-region representing a different part of the human body.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention provides a method for displaying body composition data. By displaying graphics, a first region, a second region, a third region, and multiple dividing lines, the method allows the test subject to understand whether the measured values ​​meet the standards without increasing the size of the paper or reducing the scale of the displayed content, thus providing convenience for use.

Detailed Implementation

[0012] To illustrate the technical features of the present invention in detail, the following preferred embodiment is described in conjunction with... Figure 2The following description explains that the body composition data display method 10 of the present invention mainly includes: displaying a pattern 11, displaying a first region 21, displaying a second region 31, displaying a third region 41, displaying multiple dividing lines 51, displaying a line drawing of a human figure outline 61, and displaying multiple body composition quantification values ​​71.

[0013] In this preferred embodiment, the graphic 11 is a color bar, which is divided into multiple color schemes (blue, green, yellow, and red). Figure 2 In this embodiment, the graphic 11 is divided into blue, green, yellow, and red color schemes from top to bottom, and each color scheme is further divided into multiple color scales, ranging from light to dark, thereby serving as an indicator of the health status of the data composition of the body. In other preferred embodiments, the graphic 11 can also be implemented using grayscale, color gradients, different images, different textures, or different densities of dots; therefore, the implementation of the graphic 11 is not limited to this preferred embodiment.

[0014] The first region 21 represents a first body component. The first region 21 displays the health status of the first body component with the content of the graphic 11, thereby allowing an observer to easily judge the health status of the first body component of the test subject. The first region 21 also displays an intersection point 22. In this preferred embodiment, the first body component is muscle, but it is not limited thereto.

[0015] The second region 31 represents a second body component. The second region 31 surrounds the first region 21. The second region 31 displays the health status of the second body component in the content of the graphic 11, thereby allowing the observer to easily determine the health status of the second body component of the subject. In this preferred embodiment, the second body component is fat, but it is not limited thereto.

[0016] The third region 41 represents the third body component. The third region 41 surrounds the second region 31 and displays the health status of the third body component according to the content of the graphic 11. This allows the observer to easily determine the health status of the subject's third body component. In this preferred embodiment, the third body component is bone mineral content, but it is not limited to this. In other preferred embodiments, if there is no need to display the third body component, the display of the third region 41 can be omitted.

[0017] Each of the dividing lines intersects the intersection point 22, dividing the first, second, and third regions 21, 31, and 41 into multiple sub-regions 23. Each sub-region 23 represents a different part of the human body. In this preferred embodiment, the number of the multiple dividing lines 51 is three, dividing the multiple sub-regions 23 into a first sub-region 24, a second sub-region 25, a third sub-region 26, a fourth sub-region 27, a fifth sub-region 28, and a sixth sub-region 29. The first sub-region 24 represents the whole body of the subject, the second sub-region 25 represents the left arm of the subject, the third sub-region 26 represents the left leg, the fourth sub-region 27 represents the trunk of the subject, the fifth sub-region 28 represents the right leg of the subject, and the sixth sub-region 29 represents the right arm of the subject. In other preferred embodiments, the number of the dividing lines 51 may be increased or decreased depending on the number of human body parts to be displayed. Therefore, the number of the dividing lines 51 is not limited to this preferred embodiment. Of course, the number of the plurality of sub-regions 23 will also change depending on the number of the dividing lines 51.

[0018] Furthermore, in this preferred embodiment, the plurality of dividing lines 51 are straight lines, and the two ends of each plurality of dividing lines 51 are tangent to the outer edge of the third region 41. In addition, one of the plurality of dividing lines 51 displays a plurality of scales 53, each scale 53 being a percentage. This allows the observer to easily understand the percentage of the first, second, and third body components in different parts of the human body. However, if there is no need to understand the percentages, the display of the plurality of scales 53 can be omitted. Therefore, the plurality of scales 53 are not a necessary condition for achieving the present invention.

[0019] Furthermore, in this preferred embodiment, the line drawing 61 of the human figure outline is displayed covering the first, second, and third regions 21, 31, and 41, thereby allowing the observer to understand, without text display, that the second sub-region 25 and the third sub-region 26 of the present invention represent the left limb segment (left arm and left leg) of the subject, while the fifth sub-region 28 and the sixth sub-region 29 represent the right limb segment (right arm and right leg) of the subject. Alternatively, the symbol L can be displayed outside the second sub-region 25 to represent the left side of the subject, and the symbol R can be displayed outside the sixth sub-region 29 to represent the right side of the subject. However, if there is no need to understand whether the displayed content represents the left or right limb segment of the subject, the line drawing 61 of the human figure outline and the symbols R and H can be omitted.

[0020] Furthermore, in this preferred embodiment, the multiple body composition quantification values ​​71 are directly displayed in the multiple sub-regions 23. Each body composition quantification value 71 includes the values ​​of the first, second, and third body components corresponding to the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth sub-regions 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, and 29, thereby allowing the observer to further understand the muscle, fat, and bone mineral content of each limb segment of the subject. In other preferred embodiments, only a portion of the body composition quantification values ​​71 may be displayed in a portion of the sub-regions 23 as needed; therefore, displaying the body composition quantification values ​​71 is not a necessary condition for achieving the present invention. Moreover, if there is no need to further understand the muscle, fat, and bone mineral content of each limb segment of the subject, the display of the multiple body composition quantification values ​​71 can be omitted.

[0021] Therefore, the present invention provides a method for displaying body composition data. By displaying graphics, a first region, a second region, a third region, and multiple dividing lines, the method enables the test subject to understand whether the measured values ​​meet the standards without increasing the size of the paper or reducing the scale of the displayed content, thus providing convenience in use.

[0022] Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for displaying body composition data. By employing the technical features of multiple scales and multiple quantitative values ​​of body composition, it is possible to allow the test subject to understand the actual measured values ​​without increasing the size of the paper or reducing the scale of the displayed content, thus also offering ease of use.
