[0009] A specific embodiment of a weight management program according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the same or corresponding elements will be designated by the same reference numerals throughout the drawings, and redundant description may be omitted.

[0010] [Embodiment Mode] 1, the weight management program according to this embodiment is installed in a mobile terminal 1 such as a smartphone or a tablet computer. The mobile terminal 1 includes a processor 10 that performs various types of signal processing. The processor 10 is configured as a processing circuit including, for example, a CPU.

[0011] The mobile terminal 1 includes a display 11, an input device 12, a storage device 13, and a communication interface 14. These components 11 to 14 are connected to a processor 10. The display 11 and the input device 12 are configured, for example, as a touch panel. The storage device 13 includes, for example, a main memory such as a RAM or a ROM, and a writable storage such as a hard disk or a flash memory. The communication interface 14 is configured as an interface for communicating with other devices via a communication network such as the Internet.

[0012] A weight management program P according to the present embodiment is stored in the memory 13. The processor 10 reads the weight management program P from the memory 13 and executes various processes based on the weight management program. That is, the operation of the mobile terminal 1 described below indicates the processing details of the processor 10 of the mobile terminal 1, which is a computer.

[0013] A computer mainly comprising processor 10 performs functions such as weight acquisition means 21, questionnaire screen display means 22, predicted value conversion means 23, future predicted value calculation means 24, future predicted value display means 25, history storage means 26, and comment generation means 27 through a weight management program P. These functions 21 to 27 performed by the computer can be regarded as processing circuits possessed by processor 10.

[0014] By installing the weight management program P in the mobile terminal 1, for example, an icon for starting execution of the weight management program P is displayed on the main screen of the mobile terminal 1. By touching the icon, the weight management program P is executed and the execution screen of the weight management program P is displayed.

[0015] In this embodiment, the initial screen of the weight management program P is a calendar screen G1 as shown in Fig. 2. The calendar screen G1 displays weight values ​​recorded in the past for each date. The calendar screen G1 displays a virtual record start button B1 for recording today's weight value. By touching the record start button B1, the input screen G2 shown in Fig. 3 is displayed.

[0016] The input screen G2 includes a weight acquisition screen G3 and a questionnaire screen G4. Alternatively, the weight acquisition screen G3 and the questionnaire screen G4 may be configured as separate display screens. The weight acquisition screen G3 displays various virtual buttons B31 to B33 for acquiring weight. Furthermore, the input screen G2 includes a physical condition selection screen G6 for selecting and inputting a physical condition selection item corresponding to the physical condition of the day from a plurality of physical condition selection items.

[0017] In this embodiment, the weight acquisition start button includes a measurement start button B31, a code reading button B32, and a user input button B33. The measurement start button B31 is a button for acquiring the weight measured by a predetermined body composition scale. When the measurement start button B31 is touched, the mobile terminal 1 and the predetermined weighing scale or body composition scale are paired using a predetermined communication method. By measuring the weight using the paired weighing scale or body composition scale, the measured weight value is sent from the weighing scale or body composition scale to the mobile terminal 1 using the predetermined communication method. Weight acquisition means 21 acquires the user's weight value sent from the weighing scale or body composition scale.

[0018] The code reading button B32 is a button for reading the measurement results of a specified weighing scale or body composition scale when it can output the results as a code such as a two-dimensional code. The specified weighing scale or body composition scale encodes the measurement result data and outputs the code by displaying it on the display unit of the weighing scale or body composition scale or printing it on paper using a printer unit. When the code reading button B32 is touched, the camera built into the mobile terminal 1 is activated and the code is read by photographing it with the camera. The weight acquisition means 21 acquires the user's weight value contained in the read code.

[0019] The user input button B33 is a button for the user to input a weight value. When the user input button B33 is touched, a weight input screen for inputting a weight value is displayed on the display 11. The weight input screen may be configured as a display screen separate from the input screen G2, may be configured as a pop-up display screen accompanying the input screen G2, or may be displayed as part of the input screen G2. The weight acquisition means 21 acquires the value entered into the weight input screen as the user's weight value. As described above, the weight value acquired in this embodiment may be acquired from a weighing scale or body composition monitor linked to the weight management program P, or may be acquired by inputting a value measured by a weighing scale or body composition monitor independent of the weight management program P into the mobile terminal 1.

[0020] The questionnaire screen G4 is a screen for allowing the user to input answers to a predetermined questionnaire regarding the user's living situation. The questionnaire screen display means 22 displays a plurality of selection items B4 as answer candidates for the questionnaire on the questionnaire screen G4. Each of the selection items B4 is configured as a virtual button (selection buttons B41 to B52, which will be described later). The user can select at least one selection item from the plurality of selection items B4 that corresponds to the living situation of that day (the day the weight value was obtained) by touching it. The example of FIG. 3 shows a state in which four selection items (selection buttons B41, B43, B45, and B48, which will be described later) of the 12 selection items B4 have been selected: "Vegetables," "After-dinner snack," "Normal meal amount," and "Run." The selection items may be represented by letters, by a design, or by a combination of letters and a design, as shown in FIG. 3.

[0021] As shown in Fig. 4, the questionnaire displayed on the questionnaire screen G4 includes multiple questionnaire items. More specifically, the multiple questionnaire items include a first category item C1 related to diet and a second category item C2 related to exercise. Furthermore, the first category item C1 includes a first sub-category item C1a related to type of meal and a second sub-category item C1b related to amount of meal. Multiple selection items B4 are provided for each of these questionnaire items C1a, C1b, and C2, and are displayed on the questionnaire screen G4.

[0022] For example, the first sub-category C1a relating to meal type includes a vegetable selection button B41, a greasy food selection button B42, and an after-dinner snack selection button B43. When the user has eaten a corresponding meal, the user selects the corresponding selection button B41-B43. The first sub-category C1a allows the user to select multiple items or none at all. The second sub-category C1b relating to meal amount includes a large meal amount selection button B44, a medium meal amount selection button B45, and a small meal amount selection button B46. The user selects one of the selection buttons B44-B46 corresponding to the meal amount for that day. The second sub-category C1b allows the user to select only one item. In this way, the first classification item C1 is configured so that at least one of the multiple selection buttons B41-B46 can be selected.

[0023] The second category item C2 related to exercise includes selection buttons B47 to B52 corresponding to the type of exercise. The user selects one of the selection buttons B47 to B52 corresponding to the exercise performed that day. The second category item C2 allows for the selection of multiple items. In other words, the second category item C2 allows for the selection of none of the selection buttons B47 to B52. Not selecting any of the multiple selection items included in the second category item C2 means that no exercise was performed that day. The high-intensity exercise selection button B50 is an item selected when playing a high-intensity ball sport such as basketball or soccer, and the medium-intensity exercise selection button B51 is an item selected when playing a medium-intensity sport such as golf.

[0024] A virtual save button B5 for saving the input contents is displayed on the input screen G2. When the weight value is acquired and at least one selection item is selected, the save button B5 is touched, whereby the acquired weight value and the selected contents of the selection items are stored in the memory 13 in association with the acquisition date of the weight value.

[0025] At this time, the predicted value conversion means 23 converts the input contents to the questionnaire on the questionnaire screen G4, i.e., the selection contents of the selection items, into a weight gain / loss predicted value. In this embodiment, the predicted value conversion means 23 calculates, for each of the plurality of questionnaire items, a score according to the input contents for that questionnaire item as the user's living situation score. For this purpose, each of the plurality of selection items B4 (i.e., selection buttons B41 to B52) is assigned a corresponding score as shown in FIG. 4. The memory 13 stores in advance the correspondence between the selection items and the scores.

[0026] For example, in the example of Figure 3, the vegetable selection button B41, after-dinner snack selection button B43, medium meal selection button B45, and running selection button B48 are selected. In this case, the lifestyle situation score is +1 + (-1) + 0 + 2 = +2. The predicted value conversion means 23 calculates the weight gain / loss predicted value by multiplying the lifestyle situation score by a predetermined coefficient. In this embodiment, the predetermined coefficient is -0.5.

[0027] In this embodiment, the multiple selection items include weight gain items that increase the predicted weight gain / loss value and weight loss items that decrease the predicted weight gain / loss value. The score associated with each selection item is set so that the more the item is thought to affect weight gain, the larger the absolute negative value, and the more the item is thought to affect weight loss, the larger the absolute positive value. For this reason, the coefficient by which these scores are multiplied is set to a negative value. In this way, selection items with negative scores (selection buttons B42, B43, B44) are weight gain items, and selection items with positive scores (selection buttons B41, B46 to B52) are weight loss items. Selection items with a score of 0 (selection button B45) are weight-unchanging items.

[0028] In addition, the predicted weight gain / loss value is set to be, for example, a predicted weight change one month from now. The points and coefficients are set based on the fact that an adult's weight can generally gain or lose about 3 kg per month. As shown in Figure 5, for the main combinations of multiple selection items on the questionnaire screen G4, the predicted weight gain / loss value falls between -2.5 kg and +2.5 kg.

[0029] For example, in the example of Figure 3, the living situation score is +2 points as described above, so the predicted value conversion means 23 calculates +2 x 0.5 = +1 kg as the predicted weight gain or loss. The future predicted value calculation means 24 adds the predicted weight gain or loss value to the acquired weight value to calculate a future predicted value for the user's weight. For example, if the acquired weight value is 54.8 kg, the future predicted value is calculated as 55.8 kg by adding the predicted weight gain or loss value (+1.0 kg) to the acquired weight value.

[0030] In this embodiment, the comment generating means 27 generates an advice comment according to the input contents to the questionnaire. For example, advice comments associated with predetermined selection items are stored in advance in the memory 13. If there is an advice comment associated with the selected selection item, the comment generating means 27 reads out the advice comment.

[0031] Furthermore, the comment generating means 27 may generate an advice comment to be registered together with the calculated future predicted value according to a combination of selected selection items. In this case, advice comments according to a combination of multiple selection items may be stored in advance in the memory 13. For example, a comment such as "Eating an after-dinner snack is more likely to make you gain weight than usual, so try changing the time you eat it!" may be generated as advice comment A1 associated with the after-dinner snack selection button B43, and a comment such as "Be careful not to reduce your food intake too much! Even if you reduce your food intake, eating an after-dinner snack will have the opposite effect!" may be generated as advice comment A2 when the after-dinner snack selection button B43 is selected and operated and the small-amount-of-meal selection button B46 is selected and operated.

[0032] The comment generation means 27 may generate an advice comment A2 when the after-dinner snack selection button B43 is selected and the small meal amount selection button B46 is selected, and may generate an advice comment A1 when the after-dinner snack selection button B43 is selected and the small meal amount selection button B46 is not selected (for example, when the large meal amount selection button B44 or the medium meal amount selection button B45 is selected).

[0033] Also, for example, if an advice comment A3 (e.g., "Avoid oily foods!") to be used when the oily food selection button B42 is selected and operated is stored in the memory 13 in advance, the comment generating means 27 may generate the advice comment A3 when the oily food selection button B43 is selected and operated and the vegetable selection button B41 is not selected and may not generate the advice comment A3 when the oily food selection button B43 is selected and operated and the vegetable selection button B41 is selected and operated. Also, for example, if none of the multiple selection buttons B47 to B52 included in the second classification item C2 related to exercise is selected, the comment generating means 27 may generate an advice comment A4 encouraging exercise (e.g., "Set a time to walk tomorrow!").

[0034] The calculated future predicted value and the generated advice comment are stored in memory 13 in association with the weight value acquisition date. In this way, history storage means 26 stores the weight value, the selection details of the selection items (i.e., the input details to the questionnaire), the future predicted value, and the advice comment as weight management data D in memory 13 for each weight value acquisition date.

[0035] The future predicted value display means 25 displays the calculated future predicted value on the display 11. More specifically, the future predicted value display means 25 displays the selected option along with the calculated future predicted value for each weight value acquisition date. In this embodiment, by touching the date portion of the calendar screen G1, a detailed display screen G5 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 6, which displays the contents of the weight management data D corresponding to that date. In FIG. 6, the detailed display screen G5 is configured as a display screen independent of the calendar screen G1, but instead, it may be configured as a pop-up display screen accompanying the calendar screen G1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the detail display screen G5 includes a measurement date display field G51, a weight display field G52, a selection item display field G53, a future predicted value display field G54, and an advice display field G55. The measurement date display field G51 displays the date selected on the calendar screen G1. The weight display field G52 displays the weight value registered on the date displayed in the measurement date display field G51 (i.e., the weight value acquisition date). The selection item display field G53 displays the selected content of the selection item stored in association with the weight value acquisition date.

[0037] The future predicted value display field G54 displays the future predicted value stored in association with the weight value acquisition date. In this embodiment, the future predicted value display field G54 displays the weight value registered on the weight value acquisition date and the future predicted value side by side. Furthermore, the advice display field G55 displays advice comments generated on the weight value acquisition date.

[0038] By changing the selected date on the calendar screen G1, the weight value, future predicted value, selected options, and registered advice corresponding to the selected date are displayed on the detailed display screen G5. That is, the future predicted value display means 25 displays the weight value, calculated future predicted value, selected options, and generated advice comment for each weight value acquisition date.

[0039] As described above, according to this embodiment, a predicted weight gain or loss is calculated based on the user's input to a predetermined questionnaire about their living conditions on the day their weight value was acquired, and the predicted weight gain or loss is added to the current day's weight value to calculate a future predicted weight value. Therefore, a future predicted weight value can be estimated based on the user's living conditions.

[0040] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the user selects a corresponding item from among multiple options displayed on the questionnaire screen G4, thereby inputting an answer to the questionnaire. This allows the user to input an answer to the questionnaire with a simple user operation.

[0041] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the multiple selection items include a weight gain item that increases the predicted weight gain / loss value and a weight loss item that decreases the predicted weight gain / loss value. Therefore, the future predicted value can be not only a predicted value that is a decrease from the original weight value, but also an increased predicted value. Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the questionnaire includes multiple questionnaire items. Therefore, the future predicted value can reflect the user's lifestyle situation in a more multifaceted way. Furthermore, the multiple questionnaire items include a first classification item related to diet and a second classification item related to exercise, so it is possible to estimate a future predicted weight value that corresponds to both diet and exercise lifestyle situations.

[0042] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the selected option is displayed along with the future predicted value for each weight value acquisition date. This allows the user to be provided with information that allows them to easily evaluate or review their daily living situation. For example, by displaying "running" and "large meal size" as the selected option, if the future predicted value does not decrease as much as expected even on days when moderate exercise was performed, the user can be informed that the large meal size is the reason for the future predicted value not decreasing.

[0043] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, advice comments corresponding to the input contents to the questionnaire are displayed on the display 11. Therefore, it is possible to make suggestions for improving daily living conditions according to the user.

[0044] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and modifications, and various improvements, changes, and modifications are possible within the scope of the spirit of the present invention.

[0045] [Other embodiments] For example, the multiple selection items are not limited to those exemplified in the above embodiment. In the above embodiment, an example was shown in which the first classification item C1 related to diet included a first sub-classification item C1a related to the type of diet and a second sub-classification item C1b related to the amount of diet, but the first classification item C1 may be composed of only one of the sub-classification items. Also, in the present embodiment, an example was shown in which the second classification item C2 related to exercise was composed of selection items related to the type of exercise, but the second classification item C2 may include a first sub-classification item related to the type of exercise and a second sub-classification item related to the amount of exercise. Also, the second classification item C2 related to exercise may include a selection item that is selected when no exercise is performed. For example, the selection item that is selected when no exercise is performed may be set as a weight gain item.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the input contents (selected items) to the questionnaire correspond one-to-one to the predicted weight gain / loss values, but this is not limiting. For example, the predicted value conversion means 23 may acquire the user's gender and assign different points to the selected selected items depending on the gender, or multiply the selected items by different coefficients depending on the gender. Similarly, the predicted value conversion means 23 may acquire the user's age and assign different points to the selected selected items depending on a predetermined age range (e.g., teens, twenties, thirties, etc.), or multiply the selected selected items by different coefficients depending on the predetermined age range.

[0047] Furthermore, for example, the weight gain / loss predicted values ​​corresponding to the multiple selection items displayed on the questionnaire screen G4 may differ depending on the physical condition selection item selected from the multiple physical condition selection items displayed on the physical condition selection screen G6. For example, the predicted value conversion means 23 may change the coefficient by which the score corresponding to the selected selection item is multiplied depending on the selected physical condition selection item. For example, if the selected physical condition selection item is "good," the coefficient may be set to -0.5 as in the above embodiment, and if the selected physical condition selection item is "poor" or "menstrual," the coefficient may be set to -0.25. Furthermore, if the selected physical condition selection item is "poor" or "menstrual," the second classification item C2 related to exercise may not be selectable.

[0048] Alternatively, a score may be set for the physical condition selection item itself. For example, a plurality of selection items according to the level of physical condition may be set, and a score corresponding to the predicted weight gain or loss value may be set for each of them.

[0049] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the questionnaire screen G4 displays multiple options as answer candidates for the questionnaire, but the embodiment of the questionnaire is not limited to this. For example, the questionnaire may include a questionnaire item for selecting one of multiple levels. For example, the questionnaire screen G4B in the modified example of FIG. 7 displays a questionnaire item Q1 regarding food intake. The questionnaire item Q1 is configured as a virtual lever position selection screen for selecting one of five levels. The user can input an answer to the questionnaire item Q1 by moving the position of the virtual lever operator BL.

[0050] Furthermore, for example, the questionnaire may include a questionnaire item that prompts the user to input a numerical value. For example, the questionnaire screen G4B in the modified example of FIG. 7 displays a questionnaire item Q2 regarding the number of steps walked. The questionnaire item Q2 has a numerical value input field BM for inputting the number of steps measured separately using a pedometer or the like. The user can enter a response to the questionnaire item Q2 by inputting a numerical value in the numerical value input field BM.

[0051] In the modification of FIG. 7 , the predicted value conversion means 23 calculates, as the living situation score, a score corresponding to the input position of the lever operator BL. The predicted value conversion means 23 also calculates, as the living situation score, a score that is assigned depending on which of a plurality of predetermined numerical ranges the numerical value input into the numerical value input field BM falls within. For example, the number of steps taken on the weight acquisition date is input into questionnaire item Q2. In this case, for example, if the input numerical value is less than 10,000, the score is set to 0; if it is 10,000 or more but less than 30,000, the score is set to +1; and if it is 30,000 or more, the score is set to +2. In the example of FIG. 7 , since the input numerical value is 12,345, the predicted value conversion means 23 calculates, as the living situation score, a score of +1, which corresponds to the range of 10,000 or more but less than 30,000.

[0052] In the above embodiment, points corresponding to the selected options are calculated as the user's lifestyle score, and the lifestyle score is multiplied by a coefficient to calculate the predicted weight gain or loss. Alternatively, the selected options may be directly associated with weight gain or loss. For example, the vegetable selection button B41 may be pre-assigned a weight gain or loss value of -0.5 kg, and the oily food selection button B42 may be pre-assigned a weight gain or loss value of +1.0 kg.

[0053] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, an example has been given in which a future predicted value is stored in memory 13 for each weight value acquisition date, but this is not limiting. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which a future predicted value is displayed on display 11 each time a response to a questionnaire is entered at the timing of acquiring a weight value. In this case, the future predicted value does not need to be stored in memory 13. Furthermore, in addition to or instead of storing the future predicted value in mobile terminal 1, the future predicted value may be stored in a predetermined server. In this case, the future predicted value may be stored in the server in association with the account of each user who uses mobile terminal 1 on which weight management program P is installed.

[0054] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, an example was shown in which the weight management program P is installed on a mobile terminal 1 such as a smartphone, but this is not limited to this. For example, the weight management program P may be installed on various personal computers, or on various weighing scales or body composition scales. When the weight management program P is installed on a weighing scale or body composition scale, the questionnaire screen display means 22 may be configured to display the questionnaire screen G4 when weight is measured on the weighing scale or body composition scale.
