Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a bedding information providing system and a bedding information providing program that provide information about bedding to a user. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes a bedding recommendation system. The bedding recommendation system includes an image data acquisition unit, a first position information acquisition unit, a second position information acquisition unit, a selection unit, a content data calculation unit, and a content data display unit. The image data acquisition unit acquires image data of the body of a user of the bedding.

[0003] The first position information acquisition unit acquires position information of each part of the user's body from the photographed data. The second position information acquisition unit acquires position information of each part of the user's body from a measuring device that contacts the user. The selection unit calculates bedding content data from the position information acquired by one of the first position information acquisition unit and the second position information acquisition unit. The content data display unit displays the content data. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2023-108395 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the above-mentioned bedding recommendation system, the position information of the user's body is obtained using either the photographed data or the data measured by the measuring device, and the content data of the bedding is calculated from the obtained position information. Therefore, it is possible to recommend bedding according to the shape of the user's body. However, there is a demand for bedding suggestions according to the user's physical constitution, such as whether the user feels hot or cold.

[0006] For example, even when using the same bedding, some users feel it is too hot and others feel it is too cold. Currently, bedding is selected based on the user's subjective judgment of whether the bedding looks too hot or too cold. In addition, it is not enough for bedding to have high heat retention, but it is desirable for the user to feel that the temperature is appropriate. Therefore, it is necessary to provide information on bedding with heat retention suited to the user's constitution.

[0007] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a bedding information providing system and a bedding information providing program that can provide information on bedding that has heat retention properties suited to the physical constitution of a user. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] (1) A bedding information providing system according to one aspect of the present disclosure provides information about bedding to a user. The bedding information providing system includes a bedding information output unit that outputs information about the user's metabolic rate, a location where the user uses bedding, and bedding suitable for use by the user in that location.

[0009] In this bedding information providing system, the bedding information output unit outputs the user's metabolic rate, the location where the bedding is used, and information on bedding suitable for use by the user at that location. Metabolism refers to chemical changes and energy conversion that occur in the body, and metabolic rate refers to heat balance due to metabolism in the body. People with a higher metabolic rate tend to feel hotter, and people with a lower metabolic rate tend to feel colder. Therefore, by the bedding information output unit outputting information on bedding according to the location and metabolic rate, information on bedding with lower heat retention is output when the user's metabolic rate is high or the location is hot, and information on bedding with high heat retention is output when the user's metabolic rate is low or the location is cold. Therefore, it is possible to suggest the use of bedding with low heat retention when the user's metabolic rate is high or the location is hot, and to suggest the use of bedding with high heat retention when the user's metabolic rate is low or the location is cold. As a result, it is possible to provide information on bedding with heat retention suitable for the user's constitution and the location where the bedding is used.

[0010] (2) In the above (1), the bedding information providing system may include a metabolic rate acquisition unit that acquires the metabolic rate of the user, and a bedding heat retention calculation unit that calculates and outputs the relationship between the temperature of the place where the bedding is used by the user and the heat retention of the bedding from the metabolic rate of the user acquired by the metabolic rate acquisition unit. In this case, the bedding heat retention calculation unit calculates and outputs the relationship between the temperature of the place where the bedding is used and the heat retention of the bedding from the metabolic rate. By the bedding heat retention calculation unit calculating and outputting the relationship between the temperature and the heat retention of the bedding from the metabolic rate, information on bedding with lower heat retention is output to a user with a higher metabolic rate, and information on bedding with higher heat retention is output to a user with a lower metabolic rate. Therefore, it is possible to suggest the use of bedding with lower heat retention by lowering the temperature of the place where the bedding is used to a user with a higher metabolic rate, and the use of bedding with higher heat retention by raising the temperature of the place where the bedding is used to a user with a lower metabolic rate. As a result, it is possible to provide information on bedding with heat retention suitable for the user's constitution.

[0011] (3) In the above (2), the bedding information providing system may include a comfort range calculation unit that calculates and outputs a comfortable heat retention range of the heat retention of bedding that the user feels comfortable with based on the relationship between temperature and the heat retention of the bedding. In this case, the user can understand the bedding with heat retention that is suitable for his or her constitution by looking at the comfortable heat retention range, which is the range of heat retention of the bedding that the user feels comfortable with. Therefore, information on bedding with heat retention that is suitable for the user's constitution can be provided.

[0012] (4) In the above (3), the comfort range calculation unit may calculate and output a comfortable temperature range for the place where the bedding is used based on the relationship between temperature and the heat retention of the bedding. In this case, the user can understand the desirable room temperature, etc. for the place where the bedding is used by looking at the comfortable temperature range. Therefore, the user can feel that the temperature is appropriate when using the bedding.

[0013] (5) In the above (3) or (4), the bedding information output unit may output information on bedding that falls within the comfortable heat-retaining range of the heat-retaining power of the bedding calculated by the comfort range calculation unit. In this case, by looking at the information on the bedding that falls within the comfortable heat-retaining range, the user can directly grasp the bedding that is suitable for his or her constitution and the temperature of the place where the bedding is used.

[0014] (6) In any of (1) to (5) above, the bedding information providing system may include a gender acquiring unit that acquires the gender of the user, an age acquiring unit that acquires the age of the user, a height acquiring unit that acquires the height of the user, and a weight acquiring unit that acquires the weight of the user. The metabolic rate acquiring unit may calculate the metabolic rate from the gender of the user acquired by the gender acquiring unit, the age of the user acquired by the age acquiring unit, the height of the user acquired by the height acquiring unit, and the weight of the user acquired by the weight acquiring unit. In this case, the metabolic rate of the user can be calculated with higher accuracy, so that the bedding information can be provided with higher accuracy.

[0015] (7) In the above (6), the bedding information providing system may include a BMI calculation unit that calculates the user's BMI from the user's height acquired by the height acquisition unit and the user's weight acquired by the weight acquisition unit. In this case, the BMI calculation unit calculates the BMI from the height and weight, so that the calculated BMI can be effectively utilized. For example, the BMI is displayed on a screen, so that the user can know his or her own BMI.

[0016] (8) In any of the above (1) to (5), the bedding information providing system may include a gender acquiring unit that acquires the gender of the user, an age acquiring unit that acquires the age of the user, a height acquiring unit that acquires the height of the user, and a BMI acquiring unit that acquires the BMI of the user. The metabolic rate acquiring unit may calculate the metabolic rate from the gender of the user acquired by the gender acquiring unit, the age of the user acquired by the age acquiring unit, the height of the user acquired by the height acquiring unit, and the BMI of the user acquired by the BMI acquiring unit. In this case, the metabolic rate of the user can be calculated with higher accuracy, so that the information on the bedding can be provided with higher accuracy. Furthermore, this bedding information providing system acquires the BMI instead of the weight. Therefore, the user does not need to input his / her own weight. As a result, it is possible to avoid the user's weight being seen during the input operation.

[0017] (9) The bedding information providing program according to the present disclosure is a bedding information providing program that provides information on bedding to a user. The bedding information providing program causes a computer to execute a step of outputting the user's metabolic rate, the location where the user uses the bedding, and information on bedding suitable for use by the user in that location. In this bedding information providing program, by outputting the metabolic rate, location, and bedding information, when the user's metabolic rate is high or the location is hot, information on bedding with lower heat retention is output, and when the user's metabolic rate is low or the location is cold, information on bedding with higher heat retention is output. Therefore, this bedding information providing program can provide the same effects as the bedding information providing system described above. Effect of the Invention

[0018] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide information on bedding that has heat retention properties suited to the constitution of the user. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the bedding information providing system and bedding information providing program according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same or corresponding elements are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions are omitted as appropriate. The drawings may be partially simplified or exaggerated for ease of understanding, and the dimensional ratios and the like are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0021] The bedding information providing system and the bedding information providing program provide information about bedding to the user. "Bedding" refers to something that is placed on the body when resting. Examples of "bedding" include a comforter, a mattress, a pillow, a cushion, a bed pad, and a cushion.

[0022] A "user" refers to a person who uses the bedding information system or the bedding information program. An example of a "user" is a person who is interested in bedding and wants to know what type of bedding suits him or her. The bedding information system and the bedding information program use the user's metabolic rate.

[0023] "Metabolism" refers to chemical reactions that occur inside the body, and indicates energy conversion inside the body. "Metabolic rate" refers to heat balance inside the body. "Metabolic rate" may be basal metabolic rate. "Metabolic rate" correlates with the amount of energy consumed per unit time. The higher the metabolic rate, the more energy is consumed and the more likely it is that you will get hot. The lower the metabolic rate, the less energy is consumed and the more likely it is that you will get cold.

[0024] The bedding information providing system and the bedding information providing program output the relationship between the temperature of the place where the bedding is used and the heat retention of the bedding. The "temperature of the place where the bedding is used" is, for example, the air temperature of the place where the bedding is used, and one example is the air temperature (room temperature) of a bedroom. Hereinafter, the "temperature of the place where the bedding is used" may be simply referred to as temperature.

[0025] "Thermal insulation of bedding" is an index showing the heat retention of bedding. "Thermal insulation of bedding" may be, for example, the thermal resistance of bedding. In this embodiment, an example will be described in which "thermal insulation of bedding" is shown by clo value (clo value). A higher clo value indicates a higher thermal insulation of the bedding, and a lower clo value indicates a lower thermal insulation of the bedding.

[0026] 1 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of a bedding information providing system 1 and a bedding information providing program 10 according to an embodiment. The bedding information providing system 1 provides bedding information to a user. "Bedding information" is not limited to information about the bedding itself, but is information related to the bedding, including information about the heat retention of the bedding and the environment suitable for using the bedding (temperature or humidity suitable for using the bedding).

[0027] For example, the bedding information providing system 1 has an information terminal 2 and a bedding information providing program 10. The information terminal 2 is an example of a computer. The bedding information providing program 10 is, for example, an application (hereinafter also referred to as an "app") that is installed in the information terminal 2 and can be operated by a user. The type of the app is not particularly limited, and may include, for example, a download app downloaded from a server, an SNS (social network service) app, or a function as a communication app.

[0028] The information terminal 2 is, for example, a device capable of executing the functions of the bedding information provision system 1 and the bedding information provision program 10. The information terminal 2 is, for example, a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal indicates a portable terminal such as, for example, a mobile phone including a smartphone, a tablet, a camera, or a notebook computer. The information terminal 2 may be a terminal other than a mobile terminal, for example, a personal computer.

[0029] The information terminal 2 includes a processor (e.g., a CPU) that executes an operating system and software (applications), a main memory unit configured with ROM and RAM, an auxiliary memory unit configured with flash memory or the like, a communication control unit configured with a wireless communication module or the like, an input device such as a button, and an output device such as a display. However, the configuration of the information terminal 2 is not limited to the above and can be changed as appropriate. Hereinafter, the main memory unit and the auxiliary memory unit may be collectively referred to as a memory unit.

[0030] In the information terminal 2, a bedding information provision program 10 is executed as an application. The bedding information provision program 10 is, for example, an application executed in the information terminal 2. However, the bedding information provision program 10 may be executed in a server. The bedding information provision program 10 may be downloaded from the server. Below, an example will be described in which the bedding information provision program 10 is an application downloaded to the information terminal 2 and the functions of the bedding information provision program 10 are executed in the information terminal 2.

[0031] Each function of the bedding information system 1 is realized by loading the bedding information program 10 into a processor or main memory and executing the bedding information program 10. The processor operates the communication control unit, input device, or output device described above in accordance with the bedding information program 10, and reads and writes data in the memory. Data used for processing by the information terminal 2 is stored in the memory.

[0032] The bedding information providing program 10 may be a distributed processing system composed of a plurality of computers, or may be a client-server system or a cloud system. The bedding information providing program 10 includes, for example, a main module, a data acquisition module, a determination module, and an output module. The data acquisition module, the determination module, and the output module are executed to cause each functional element of the bedding information providing program 10 to function. The bedding information providing program 10 may be provided by being fixedly recorded on a tangible storage medium such as a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, or a semiconductor memory, for example. The bedding information providing program 10 may be provided via a communication network as a data signal superimposed on a carrier wave.

[0033] For example, the bedding information providing program 10 includes, as functional components, a gender acquisition unit 11, an age acquisition unit 12, a height acquisition unit 13, a weight acquisition unit 14, a temperature acquisition unit 15, a humidity acquisition unit 16, a metabolic rate acquisition unit 17, a bedding heat retention calculation unit 18, a comfort range calculation unit 19, a bedding information output unit 20, a BMI calculation unit 21, a BMI acquisition unit 22, a display control unit 23, and a memory unit 24.

[0034] 1 and 2, the display control unit 23 displays an operation screen 30 for operating the functions of the bedding information provision program 10 on the display 2b of the information terminal 2. The storage unit 24 stores data transmitted and received by the information terminal 2 by the bedding information provision program 10. The operation screen 30 has, for example, a gender input unit 31, an age input unit 32, a height input unit 33, a weight input unit 34, a temperature input unit 35, and an input completion button 36.

[0035] The gender input section 31 is a section where the user inputs his / her gender, and the age input section 32 is a section where the user inputs his / her age. The height input section 33 is a section where the user inputs his / her height, and the weight input section 34 is a section where the user inputs his / her weight. The gender input section 31, the age input section 32, the height input section 33, and the weight input section 34 are displayed, for example, as text boxes. For example, the temperature input section 35 is a section where the user inputs the temperature of the place where the user uses bedding. The temperature of the place where the user uses bedding is, for example, the temperature in the bedroom.

[0036] The gender acquisition unit 11 acquires the gender of the user, for example, when the gender is input in the gender input unit 31 and the input completion button 36 is pressed, and stores the acquired gender in the storage unit 24. The age acquisition unit 12 acquires the age of the user, for example, when the age is input in the age input unit 32 and the input completion button 36 is pressed, and stores the acquired age in the storage unit 24. The height acquisition unit 13 acquires the height of the user, for example, when the height is input in the height input unit 33 and the input completion button 36 is pressed, and stores the acquired height in the storage unit 24. The weight acquisition unit 14 acquires the weight of the user, for example, when the weight is input in the weight input unit 34 and the input completion button 36 is pressed, and stores the acquired weight in the storage unit 24.

[0037] For example, when the temperature of the place where the user uses the bedding is input to the temperature input unit 35 and the input completion button 36 is pressed, the temperature acquisition unit 15 acquires the temperature and stores the acquired temperature in the storage unit 24. However, the temperature acquisition unit 15 does not have to acquire the temperature from the temperature input to the temperature input unit 35.

[0038] For example, the temperature acquisition unit 15 may acquire a temperature detected by a sensor such as a temperature sensor. The temperature acquisition unit 15 may also acquire the temperature from an Internet site in cooperation with the Internet site. The temperature acquisition unit 15 may acquire the temperature of an area including a position acquired by a position information acquisition function (e.g., GPS) of the information terminal 2. The temperature acquisition unit 15 may also acquire the temperature from a weather information providing service through a weather information API (Application Programming Interface). In this case, it is possible to eliminate the need to input the temperature to the temperature input unit 35.

[0039] The temperature acquisition unit 15 may acquire the temperature by, for example, extracting from a database the temperature of the user's residential area (as an example, the name of a prefecture) input by the user to the information terminal 2. The "temperature" is, for example, room temperature. The temperature acquisition unit 15 may acquire as the temperature a measured value measured by a temperature measuring device placed in the room and transferred. The temperature acquisition unit 15 may acquire the temperature input by the user to the information terminal 2.

[0040] The relationship between the outside air temperature and the room temperature may be stored in a database for each region. In this case, the temperature acquisition unit 15 may acquire the room temperature as a temperature by extracting from the database the room temperature corresponding to the outside air temperature in the region including the position acquired by the position information acquisition function of the information terminal 2 (or the region inputted to the information terminal 2 by the user). Furthermore, the temperature acquisition unit 15 may acquire a temperature obtained by correcting the value of the outside air temperature by taking into account the outside air temperature in the region and the house information inputted to the information terminal 2 by the user (for example, the layout, the age, or the direction, etc.). In this way, the means by which the temperature acquisition unit 15 acquires the temperature is not particularly limited. The temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 15 is stored in the storage unit 24.

[0041] The humidity acquisition unit 16, for example, acquires the humidity of the place where the user uses the bedding, and stores the acquired humidity in the memory unit 24. The method by which the humidity acquisition unit 16 acquires the humidity is, for example, the same as the method by which the temperature acquisition unit 15 acquires the air temperature. By the humidity acquisition unit 16 acquiring the humidity, it becomes possible to provide information on the bedding that takes humidity into account. However, the humidity acquisition unit 16 may be omitted.

[0042] For example, when the input completion button 36 is pressed by the user, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3, the metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 calculates the metabolic rate based on the sex, age, height, and weight of the user, and the display control unit 23 displays the metabolic rate display screen 37 on the display 2b of the information terminal 2. The metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 acquires the metabolic rate of the user. Note that the metabolic rate does not have to be displayed on the metabolic rate display screen 37 shown in Fig. 3, and the user's metabolic rate may be displayed as the metabolic rate result 42 in Fig. 4 described later.

[0043] The metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 calculates the body surface area of ​​the user from, for example, the height and weight of the user. The metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 then calculates the basal metabolic rate of the user from the sex, age, height, and weight of the user. The metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 calculates, for example, the basal metabolic rate of the user per day and the basal metabolic rate of the user per hour. The metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 calculates the basal metabolic rate of the user per hour based on the body surface area (1 m2) of the user. 2 The metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 may calculate the basal metabolic rate of the user per hour and the basal metabolic rate of the user per kg of body weight.

[0044] Basal metabolic rate is the minimum energy required for activities that are automatically performed by the body to maintain vital functions in an awake state, and the unit of basal metabolic rate is kilocalories (kcal).Metabolic rate, on the other hand, is the energy (calorie) generated by a person's activities, and the unit of metabolic rate is kilocalories (kcal) or METs. For example, metabolic rate is calculated as the amount of energy consumed per hour for 1 m of body surface area. 2 As an example, the metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 calculates the basal metabolic rate per hour per 1 m of body surface area. 2 The metabolic rate is calculated by multiplying the basal metabolic rate per day by a coefficient. The value of this coefficient is, for example, 0.02, but is not limited thereto.

[0045] For example, the metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 stores the calculated basal metabolic rate and metabolic rate in the storage unit 24. The display control unit 23 displays the basal metabolic rate and metabolic rate calculated by the metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 on the display 2b as a metabolic rate display screen 37. For example, the display control unit 23 displays a next button 38 together with the metabolic rate display screen 37.

[0046] For example, when the user presses the next button 38, a result screen 40 including a graph 41 showing the relationship between temperature and the heat retention of the bedding is displayed, as shown in Figures 1 and 4. The bedding heat retention calculation unit 18 calculates the relationship between temperature and the heat retention of the bedding from the metabolic rate of the user acquired by the metabolic rate acquisition unit 17. "The heat retention of the bedding" indicates the heat retention of the bedding suitable for the user.

[0047] The bedding heat retention calculation unit 18 calculates the heat retention of bedding suitable for the user's constitution (whether the user is sensitive to heat or cold, etc.) based on the user's metabolic rate. For example, when the metabolic rate is equal to or lower than a certain value, the bedding heat retention calculation unit 18 calculates the heat retention of the bedding to be higher than when the metabolic rate is greater than the certain value. When the metabolic rate is greater than the certain value, the bedding heat retention calculation unit 18 calculates the heat retention of the bedding to be lower than when the metabolic rate is equal to or lower than the certain value.

[0048] The bedding heat retention calculation unit 18 calculates the heat retention of the bedding using the metabolic rate, for example, by a predicted mean vote (PMV). PMV is also called a comfort index or a thermal sensation index. PMV uses metabolic rate (activity), temperature (air temperature), humidity, radiant temperature, airflow, and amount of clothing as parameters, and is an index that indicates the relationship between these parameters that makes a person feel comfortable.

[0049] "Feeling comfortable" means feeling that the temperature is just right, neither hot nor cold. Radiation temperature (radiant temperature) is a concept that takes into account the thermal energy received by the human body by infrared radiation from indoor surfaces such as walls and ceilings, and is also called average radiant temperature. As an example, average radiant temperature is equivalent to the weighted average of the temperatures of each indoor surface by the view factor.

[0050] The bedding heat retention calculation unit 18 calculates and outputs the relationship between the temperature of the place where the bedding is used by the user and the heat retention of the bedding from the metabolic rate of the user acquired by the metabolic rate acquisition unit 17. The bedding heat retention calculation unit 18 calculates the heat retention of the bedding suitable for the user, for example, by using PMV. In this case, the bedding heat retention calculation unit 18 calculates the amount of clothing worn as the heat retention of the bedding. The unit of both the amount of clothing worn and the heat retention of the bedding is clo (clo). 1 clo indicates the thermal resistance that a person sitting and resting in a room with a temperature of 21°C, a relative humidity of 50%, and an air flow of 0.1 m / s feels comfortable. The surface temperature of the skin at this time is approximately 33°C.

[0051] For example, the bedding heat retention calculation unit 18 calculates the relationship between temperature and the heat retention of the bedding using the radiation temperature (radiation temperature) and airflow as constants and the metabolic rate and humidity acquired by the metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 as input values. The bedding heat retention calculation unit 18 may also calculate the relationship between temperature and the heat retention of the bedding using the radiation temperature (radiation temperature), airflow, and humidity as constants and the metabolic rate acquired by the metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 as input values.

[0052] For example, the relationship between the temperature calculated by the bedding heat retention calculation unit 18 and the heat retention of the bedding is displayed as a graph 41. The relationship between the temperature and the heat retention of the bedding is displayed, for example, with the heat retention of the bedding having a range. In the example of graph 41 in FIG. 4, "PMV-0.5" indicates the upper limit of the heat retention of the bedding that is felt to be comfortable, "PMV" indicates the heat retention of the bedding that is felt to be the most comfortable, and "PMV+0.5" indicates the lower limit of the heat retention of the bedding that is felt to be comfortable. Note that the display mode of the heat retention of the bedding is not limited to the example of graph 41. For example, the upper limit of the heat retention of the bedding that is felt to be comfortable and the lower limit of the heat retention of the bedding that is felt to be comfortable may be displayed.

[0053] The comfort range calculation unit 19 calculates and outputs a comfortable temperature range 44 of the place where the bedding is used based on the relationship between temperature and the heat retention of the bedding. The comfortable temperature range is a range of temperatures (air temperatures) at which the user feels comfortable when using the bedding in the place where the user uses the bedding. For example, the display control unit 23 displays the comfortable temperature range 44 calculated by the comfort range calculation unit 19 on the display 2b.

[0054] As an example, the display control unit 23 displays the result 42 of the user's metabolic rate, the heat retention input unit 43 of the bedding, and the comfortable temperature range 44 on the display 2b together with the graph 41. The heat retention input unit 43 is configured to allow input of a value of the heat retention of the bedding. For example, when a value of the heat retention is input to the heat retention input unit 43, the display control unit 23 may display the comfortable temperature range 44 calculated by the comfort range calculation unit 19 as a line 41b on the graph 41. One end of the line 41b indicates the upper limit of the comfortable temperature range 44, and the other end of the line 41b indicates the lower limit of the comfortable temperature range 44. When the line 41b is displayed, the user can visually grasp, for example, at what temperature it is appropriate to use the bedding owned by the user.

[0055] Furthermore, the display control unit 23 may display a next button 45 on the display 2b. For example, when the user presses the next button 45, a result screen 50 including a graph 51 showing the relationship between temperature and the heat retention of the bedding is displayed, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 5. Graph 51 differs from graph 41 in that it displays a line 51b that is different from line 41b, but is otherwise identical to graph 41.

[0056] The comfort range calculation unit 19 calculates a comfortable heat retention range 54, which is the range of the heat retention of the bedding that the user feels comfortable with, from the relationship between temperature and the heat retention of the bedding. The comfortable heat retention range indicates the range of the heat retention of the bedding that the user feels comfortable with at a certain temperature when the temperature is constant.

[0057] For example, the display control unit 23 displays on the display 2b the comfortable heat retention range 54 calculated by the comfort range calculation unit 19. For example, the display control unit 23 displays on the display 2b, together with the graph 51, the result 52 of the user's metabolic rate, a temperature input unit 53 for inputting the temperature of the place where the bedding is used, and the comfortable heat retention range 54.

[0058] The temperature of the place where the user uses the bedding can be input to the temperature input unit 53. For example, when a temperature is input to the temperature input unit 53, the display control unit 23 may display the comfortable heat retention range 54 calculated by the comfort range calculation unit 19 as a line 51b on the graph 51. One end of the line 51b indicates the upper limit of the comfortable heat retention range 54, and the other end of the line 51b indicates the lower limit of the comfortable heat retention range 54. When the line 51b is displayed, the user can visually grasp, for example, what level of heat retention is appropriate for the bedding to use.

[0059] Furthermore, the display control unit 23 may display a next button 55 on the display 2b. For example, when the user presses the next button 55, a product screen 60 of bedding having appropriate heat retention is displayed on the display 2b of the information terminal 2, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 6. The bedding information output unit 20 outputs information on bedding that falls within the comfortable heat retention range 54 of the heat retention of the bedding calculated by the comfort range calculation unit 19.

[0060] For example, the display control unit 23 displays information on bedding in the comfortable heat retention range 54 output by the bedding information output unit 20 as a product screen 60 on the display 2b. As an example, when the comfort range calculation unit 19 calculates the comfortable heat retention range as Xclo to Yclo (X and Y are positive real numbers), the bedding information output unit 20 extracts information on bedding in the comfortable heat retention range of Xclo to Yclo, and the display control unit 23 displays the information on the bedding as a list on the display 2b. For example, the display control unit 23 displays the type and name of the bedding as the information on the bedding on the display 2b. The display control unit 23 may also display the price of the bedding as the information on the bedding on the display 2b.

[0061] For example, the memory unit 24 stores the relationship between the heat retention of bedding and the type of bedding. For example, the memory unit 24 stores the claw values ​​of each of a plurality of types of bedding. As shown in FIG. 7, the display control unit 23 may display a screen 70 including a list 71 of temperatures and appropriate types of bedding, using the relationship between the temperature and the heat retention of bedding acquired by the bedding heat retention calculation unit 18 and the relationship between the heat retention of bedding and the type of bedding stored in the memory unit 24. In this case, the user can see at a glance which bedding is appropriate to use at which temperature by looking at the list 71.

[0062] Next, an example of a bedding information providing method according to this embodiment will be described. For example, in the bedding information providing method according to this embodiment, a bedding information providing program 10 is executed. First, as shown in Fig. 2, in the bedding information providing program 10, the display control unit 23 displays an operation screen 30 on the display 2b. The bedding information providing program 10 causes the information terminal 2, which is a computer, to execute steps described below.

[0063] When the gender, age, height, and weight are input to the gender input section 31, age input section 32, height input section 33, and weight input section 34 on the operation screen 30 and the input completion button 36 is pressed, the metabolic rate acquisition section 17 calculates and acquires the metabolic rate (step of calculating and acquiring metabolic rate). For example, the metabolic rate acquisition section 17 calculates the basal metabolic rate and metabolic rate of the user.

[0064] 3, the display control unit 23 displays a metabolic rate display screen 37 on the display 2b. For example, the bedding heat retention calculation unit 18 calculates the relationship between temperature and the heat retention of the bedding from the metabolic rate, the radiation temperature (radiation temperature), the airflow, and the humidity (a step of calculating and outputting the relationship between temperature and the heat retention of the bedding).

[0065] As shown in Fig. 4, the display control unit 23 displays a result screen 40 on the display 2b. For example, the comfort range calculation unit 19 calculates and outputs a comfortable temperature range 44 from the relationship between the temperature and the heat retention of the bedding (step of calculating and outputting a comfortable temperature range). For example, the comfortable temperature range 44 is displayed on the display 2b as a numerical range and a line 41b.

[0066] 5, the display control unit 23 displays a result screen 50 on the display 2b, and the comfort range calculation unit 19 calculates and outputs a comfortable heat retention range 54 from the relationship between the temperature and the heat retention of the bedding (a step of calculating and outputting a comfortable heat retention range). For example, as in the above, the comfortable heat retention range 54 is displayed on the display 2b as a numerical range and a line 51b.

[0067] 6, the bedding information output unit 20 outputs information about bedding in the comfortable heat retention range 54, and the display control unit 23 displays the information about the bedding on the display 2b as a product screen 60 (a step of outputting bedding information). After the information terminal 2 executes the above steps, a series of steps in the bedding information providing method according to this embodiment is completed.

[0068] Next, the effects obtained from the bedding information system 1 and bedding information program 10 according to this embodiment will be described. In the bedding information system 1, the metabolic rate of the user can be acquired by the metabolic rate acquisition unit 17. The bedding information system 1 has a bedding heat retention calculation unit 18. The bedding heat retention calculation unit 18 calculates and outputs the relationship between the temperature of the place where the bedding is used and the heat retention of the bedding from the metabolic rate. Metabolism refers to chemical changes and energy conversion that occur in the body, and the metabolic rate indicates the heat balance due to metabolism in the body. People with a higher metabolic rate tend to feel hotter, and people with a lower metabolic rate tend to feel colder.

[0069] Therefore, by the bedding heat retention calculation unit 18 calculating and outputting the relationship between temperature and heat retention from the metabolic rate, as shown in FIG. 8(a), information on bedding with lower heat retention is output for users with a higher metabolic rate. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8(b), information on bedding with higher heat retention is output for users with a lower metabolic rate. Therefore, it is possible to suggest to users with a higher metabolic rate that the temperature of the place where the bedding is used be lower to use bedding with lower heat retention, and to users with a lower metabolic rate that the temperature of the place where the bedding is used be higher to use bedding with higher heat retention. As a result, it is possible to provide information on bedding with heat retention suitable for the user's constitution.

[0070] For example, when multiple people (a couple as an example) sleep in the same room, one of the people may feel hot while the others feel cold, which can cause a problem. Even in such a case, the bedding information providing system 1 and the bedding information providing program 10 can provide information on bedding suitable for each of the multiple people, thereby solving the above problem. Information on bedding with low thermal insulation can be provided to a person who tends to feel hot, and information on bedding with high thermal insulation can be provided to a person who tends to feel cold. Furthermore, the bedding information providing system 1 and the bedding information providing program 10 allow a person to easily obtain information on bedding suitable for themselves by simply operating the information terminal 2.

[0071] 1 and 5, the bedding information providing system 1 may include a comfort range calculation unit 19 that calculates and outputs a comfortable heat retention range 54 of the heat retention of bedding that the user feels comfortable with, based on the relationship between temperature and the heat retention of the bedding. In this case, the user can ascertain the bedding with heat retention that suits his or her constitution by looking at the comfortable heat retention range 54, which is the range of heat retention of bedding that the user feels comfortable with. Therefore, information on bedding with heat retention that suits the user's constitution can be provided.

[0072] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the comfort range calculation unit 19 may calculate and output a comfortable temperature range 44 for the place where the bedding is used, based on the relationship between temperature and the heat retention of the bedding. In this case, the user can understand what temperature is desirable for the room temperature in the place where the bedding is used, by looking at the comfortable temperature range 44. Therefore, the user can feel that the temperature is appropriate when using the bedding.

[0073] 1, 5 and 6, the bedding information providing system 1 may include a bedding information output unit 20 that outputs information about bedding that falls within comfortable heat-retaining range 54 of the heat-retaining power of the bedding calculated by comfort range calculation unit 19. In this case, by looking at the information about bedding that falls within comfortable heat-retaining range 54, the user can directly understand the bedding that is suitable for his or her own constitution and the temperature of the place where the bedding is used.

[0074] 1 and 2, the bedding information providing system 1 may include a gender acquiring unit 11 that acquires the gender of the user, an age acquiring unit 12 that acquires the age of the user, a height acquiring unit 13 that acquires the height of the user, and a weight acquiring unit 14 that acquires the weight of the user. The metabolic rate acquiring unit 17 may calculate the metabolic rate from the gender of the user acquired by the gender acquiring unit 11, the age of the user acquired by the age acquiring unit 12, the height of the user acquired by the height acquiring unit 13, and the weight of the user acquired by the weight acquiring unit 14. In this case, the metabolic rate of the user can be calculated with higher accuracy, so that the bedding information can be provided with higher accuracy.

[0075] The bedding information providing program 10 according to this embodiment causes the information terminal 2 to execute the steps of acquiring the metabolic rate of the user, and calculating and outputting the relationship between the temperature of the place where the user uses the bedding and the heat retention of the bedding from the acquired metabolic rate of the user. In this bedding information providing program 10, by calculating and outputting the relationship between the temperature and the heat retention of the bedding from the metabolic rate, information on bedding with lower heat retention is output to a user with a higher metabolic rate, and information on bedding with higher heat retention is output to a user with a lower metabolic rate. Therefore, the bedding information providing program 10 can achieve the same effects as the bedding information providing system 1 described above.

[0076] Next, an example of the functions of the BMI calculation unit 21 and the BMI acquisition unit 22 of the bedding information provision system 1 will be described. At least one of the BMI calculation unit 21 and the BMI acquisition unit 22 can be omitted. The BMI calculation unit 21 calculates the BMI from the height of the user acquired by the height acquisition unit 13 and the weight of the user acquired by the weight acquisition unit 14.

[0077] For example, in the operation screen 30 shown in Fig. 2, when height is input in the height input section 33 and weight is input in the weight input section 34, and then the input completion button 36 is pressed, the BMI calculation section 21 calculates the BMI. The BMI calculation section 21 calculates the BMI of the user by the following formula (1). BMI = weight / (height) 2 (1)

[0078] The BMI calculation unit 21 stores the calculated BMI in the storage unit 24. For example, when the input completion button 36 is pressed, the display control unit 23 displays a BMI display screen 80 on the display 2b of the information terminal 2, as shown in Fig. 9. This allows the user to grasp his / her own BMI. The BMI display screen 80 has, for example, a BMI display unit 81 on which the BMI calculated by the BMI calculation unit 21 is displayed.

[0079] For example, the display control unit 23 may display the BMI on the BMI display unit 81, and may also display at least one of the obesity level, the ideal body weight, and the difference between the user's body weight and the ideal body weight. In this case, the user can grasp not only his / her own BMI, but also more detailed information such as the ideal body weight. Furthermore, the display control unit 23 may display a next button 82 on the display 2b. When the user presses the next button 82, for example, a metabolic rate display screen 37 shown in FIG. 3 is displayed on the display 2b.

[0080] As described above, the bedding information providing system 1 includes the BMI calculation unit 21 that calculates the BMI of the user from the height of the user acquired by the height acquisition unit 13 and the weight of the user acquired by the weight acquisition unit 14. In this case, the BMI calculation unit 21 calculates the BMI from the height and weight, so that the calculated BMI can be effectively utilized. For example, the BMI is displayed on the display 2b, so that the user can know his or her own BMI.

[0081] The BMI acquisition unit 22 is a function used in place of the above-mentioned weight acquisition unit 14. In other words, when the bedding information providing system 1 has the BMI acquisition unit 22, the weight acquisition unit 14 can be eliminated. For example, the display control unit 23 displays the operation screen 30 shown in FIG. 10 on the display 2b instead of the operation screen 30 shown in FIG.

[0082] The operation screen 30 shown in FIG. 10 is the same as the operation screen 30 shown in FIG. 2 except that it has a BMI input section 84 instead of the weight input section 34. The BMI input section 84 is a place where the user inputs his / her own BMI. The operation screen 30 shown in FIG. 10 allows the input of gender, age, height, and BMI, and for example, the metabolic rate acquisition section 17 calculates the metabolic rate from the input gender, age, height, and BMI. The BMI input section 84 is displayed as, for example, a text box. The BMI acquisition section 22 acquires the BMI of the user when the BMI is input to the BMI input section 84 and the input completion button 36 is pressed, and stores the acquired BMI in the storage section 24.

[0083] After the input completion button 36 is pressed, for example, the metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 calculates the weight of the user from the BMI and height. Thereafter, as described above, the metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 calculates and acquires the metabolic rate from the sex, age, height and weight, and the bedding heat retention calculation unit 18 calculates the relationship between the temperature and the heat retention of the bedding from the metabolic rate, radiant temperature, air flow and humidity. Then, the comfort range calculation unit 19 calculates and outputs the comfortable heat retention range 54 from the relationship between the temperature and the heat retention of the bedding, and the bedding information output unit 20 outputs information on the bedding in the comfortable heat retention range 54.

[0084] As described above, the bedding information providing system 1 includes the gender acquiring unit 11 that acquires the gender of the user, the age acquiring unit 12 that acquires the age of the user, the height acquiring unit 13 that acquires the height of the user, and the BMI acquiring unit 22 that acquires the BMI of the user. The metabolic rate acquiring unit 17 calculates the metabolic rate from the gender of the user acquired by the gender acquiring unit 11, the age of the user acquired by the age acquiring unit 12, the height of the user acquired by the height acquiring unit 13, and the BMI of the user acquired by the BMI acquiring unit 22. In this case, the metabolic rate of the user can be calculated with higher accuracy, so that the information on the bedding can be provided with higher accuracy. Furthermore, the bedding information providing system 1 acquires the BMI instead of the weight. Therefore, the user does not need to input his / her own weight. As a result, it is possible to prevent the weight of the user from being seen by anyone other than the user during the input operation.

[0085] The bedding information output unit 20 outputs the user's metabolic rate, the location where the bedding is used by the user, and information on the bedding suitable for the user to use in that location. An example of the output contents of the bedding information output unit 20 will be described below with reference to Figs. 11 and 12.

[0086] FIG. 11 is a screen 91 showing an example of the relationship between the sex, age (generation), and body type of a user and the metabolic rate of the user. For example, the display control unit 23 (see FIG. 1) described above displays the screen 91 on the display 2b of the information terminal 2. The screen 91 includes a plurality of metabolic rate types T. The plurality of metabolic rate types T are, for example, type A, type B, type C, and type D. Type A has the highest metabolic rate, type B has the second highest metabolic rate, type C has the third highest metabolic rate, and type D has the lowest metabolic rate. If the user is male, young, or has a sturdy body type, the metabolic rate is high, and if the user is female, not young, or has a slim or standard body type, the metabolic rate is low.

[0087] 12, the bedding information output unit 20 outputs the user's metabolic rate (metabolic rate type T), the location P where the user will use the bedding, and information Q about bedding suitable for use by the user at the location P. The bedding information providing program 10 causes the computer to execute a step of outputting the user's metabolic rate, the location P where the user will use the bedding, and information Q about bedding suitable for use by the user at the location P. The information output by the bedding information output unit 20, i.e., the execution result of the bedding information providing program 10, is displayed as a screen 92 on the display 2b of the information terminal 2 by the display control unit 23.

[0088] On screen 92, the user's metabolic rate is displayed as metabolic rate type T. Screen 92 includes location P and bedding information Q corresponding to location P. As an example, prefectures are displayed as "XXX" of location P. However, "XXX" may also display a country or a city, ward, town, or village, and the display manner of location P is not particularly limited. Bedding information Q indicates information on bedding suitable for each metabolic rate and season of the user.

[0089] In the bedding information Q, duvet A indicates a thinner duvet than duvet B, for example a light blanket. Duvet B is, for example, a double duvet. In the bedding information Q, X, Y, and Z are natural numbers, Z is a value greater than Y, and Y is a value greater than X. By looking at screens 91 and 92, a user can grasp their metabolic rate type, the place P where the bedding is used, the metabolic rate type, and the bedding information Q suitable for the season.

[0090] As described above, in the bedding information providing system 1 and the bedding information providing program 10, the bedding information output unit 20 outputs the user's metabolic rate, the place P where the bedding is used, and information Q of bedding suitable for use by the user at the place P. By outputting the place P and the bedding information Q, when the user's metabolic rate is high or the place P is hot, information Q of bedding with lower heat retention is output, and when the user's metabolic rate is low or the place P is cold, information Q of bedding with high heat retention is output. Therefore, when the user's metabolic rate is high or the place P is hot, it is possible to suggest the use of bedding with low heat retention, and when the user's metabolic rate is low or the place P is cold, it is possible to suggest the use of bedding with high heat retention. As a result, it is possible to provide information Q of bedding with heat retention suitable for the user's constitution and the place P where the bedding is used.

[0091] The above describes the embodiments of the bedding information providing system and the bedding information providing program according to the present disclosure. However, the bedding information providing system and the bedding information providing program according to the present disclosure are not limited to the contents of the above-mentioned embodiments, and may be modified within the scope of the gist described in the claims. In other words, the functions of each part of the bedding information providing system and the bedding information providing program according to the present disclosure, and the order in which the functions are executed, can be appropriately changed within the scope of the above gist.

[0092] For example, in the above embodiment, the metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 calculates the metabolic rate from the input gender, age, height, and BMI. However, the metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 may calculate the metabolic rate from gender, age, and BMI. That is, the metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 may not take the height into account when calculating the metabolic rate. In this way, the data of the user used by the metabolic rate acquisition unit 17 can be changed as appropriate.

[0093] In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which a screen 91 showing the relationship between the user's gender, age (generation), and body type and the user's metabolic rate is displayed on the display 2b of the information terminal 2, and the execution result of the bedding information providing program 10 is displayed as a screen 92 on the display 2b of the information terminal 2. However, at least one of the screens 91 and 92 does not have to be displayed on the display 2b of the information terminal 2. For example, at least one of the information showing the relationship between the user's gender, age (generation), and body type and the user's metabolic rate, and the execution result of the bedding information providing program 10 may be output as a paper medium (panel). In the present disclosure, "output" is not limited to displaying on the display 2b of the information terminal 2, and includes outputting as a paper medium and outputting as a panel. That is, the form of "output" is not particularly limited.

[0094] In the above-described embodiment, a bedding information provision program 10 has been described in which a result screen 40 including a comfortable temperature range 44 and a result screen 50 including a comfortable heat retention range 54 are displayed on the display 2b of the information terminal 2. However, the bedding information provision program may display only either the result screen 40 or the result screen 50. Furthermore, the layout of the screens and the manner of screen transitions displayed by the bedding information provision system and the bedding information provision program are not limited to the above-described embodiment and can be changed as appropriate.

[0095] For example, as a modified example of the bedding information providing system and bedding information providing program, the comfort range calculation unit 19 may determine whether the bedding belongs to the comfortable heat retention range 54 based on the relationship between the temperature calculated by the bedding heat retention calculation unit 18 and the heat retention of the bedding. In this case, by determining whether the bedding used at that temperature belongs to the comfortable heat retention range 54 based on the temperature of the place where the bedding is used and the heat retention of the bedding, the user can know whether the bedding is suitable for his or her constitution. As a result, the user can know the bedding that is suitable for his or her constitution and the temperature of the place where the bedding is used. [Explanation of symbols]
