FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the "member registration" routine. As shown in the figure, when the processing shifts to the “member registration” routine, first, the page PG11 is transmitted to the Internet 40 so that the mobile phone 20
The screen shown in FIG. 3B is displayed (step S2).
10). Next, the CPU inputs information from the user using the mobile phone 20 (step S220). continue,
It is determined whether this information is “1” or “2” (step S230). If it is determined that the information is “1”, the page PG12 is transmitted to the Internet 40, so that the mobile phone 20 Then, the screen shown in FIG. 3C is displayed (step S240), and information on the user himself / herself, such as name, address, gender, and age, is input from the data input fields Di1 to Di4 included in this screen. (Step S250).

On the other hand, if "2" is determined in step S230, the page PG13 is transmitted to the Internet 40 to display the screen shown in FIG. (S260) From this screen, information on the life intensity of the user is input (step S270). Step S250 or S2
After the execution of step 70, it is determined whether or not all the inputs of the name, address, gender, age, and living intensity have been completed (step S28).
0), if a negative determination is made, the process returns to step S210.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S280 that all the inputs of name, address, gender, age, and living intensity have been completed, the input information is registered in the customer database 10d. Is performed (step S290). The customer database 10d
In step S250, in addition to the information input in steps S250 and S260, the mobile number notified from the mobile phone 20 is also registered. After that, the process returns to "return" and the web site generation routine is temporarily ended.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the "input at start" routine. As shown in the figure, when the processing shifts to the “input at start” routine, first, the CPU
By transmitting the page PG21 to the Internet 40, the screen shown in FIG. 5B is displayed on the mobile phone 20 (step S310), and the ID numbers are entered from the data entry fields Di5 to Di9 included in this screen. ,height, weight,
Information on the target weight and the target period is input (Step S32)
0). As described above, the input of the target weight is restricted so as not to fall below a lower limit set to 90% of the standard weight obtained from the height. Further, as described above, the target period is calculated by subtracting the target weight from the body weight to obtain a target weight loss value.
The input of the target period is restricted so as not to exceed the maximum weight loss value per month, for example, 3 kg.

Next, the CPU inputs a mobile number from the mobile phone 20 using the calling telephone number notification function (step S330). Thereafter, the CPU determines whether or not the combination of the ID number input in step S320 and the mobile number input in step S330 is registered in customer database 10d (step S340). here,
If it is determined that the user is registered in the customer database 10d, the CPU determines that the user has been authenticated and registers the mobile number input in step S330 in the authentication file prepared in the HDD (step S350). .
Thereafter, the CPU transfers the page PG22 to the Internet 4
0, the mobile phone 20 displays the screen shown in FIG. 5C (step S360).

After execution of step S360, the CPU calculates a target minus calorie amount CT indicating how much calorie amount per day is necessary from the weight, the target weight and the target period input in step S320. The processing is performed (step S370). Specifically, this calculation is performed according to the following equations (2) to (4).

Target weight loss [kg] = weight [kg] −target weight [kg] (2) target minus total calorie [cal] = target weight loss [kg] × 7000 [kcal] (3) target minus Calorie amount CT [kcal] = target minus total calorie amount [kcal] ÷ (target period (month) × 30 (day)) ... (4)

The equation (3) indicates that a weight loss of 1 kg is equal to 700.
The calculation has been made assuming that 0 [kcal] is required.
Thereafter, the CPU obtains the daily life intensity calorie consumption CL of the user from the "life intensity", "sex" and "age" of the user registered in the customer database 10d (step S380). This processing is performed for “A” and “B”
A map in which the calorie consumption CL for each intensity of life is determined using the "life intensity", "sex", and "age" of the three stages of "C" as parameters is prepared in the RAM in advance, and the customer database 10d is stored in this RAM map By comparing the “life intensity”, “sex”, and “age” of the user registered in the “A”, the calorie consumption CL by life intensity is obtained.

After the execution of step S380, the CPU stores the target minus calorie amount per day CT obtained in step S370 and the daily consumption intensity calorie amount CL by daily intensity obtained in step S380 in the customer database 1.
0d is recorded in the record of the user (step S39)
0). After that, the process returns to "return" and the web site generation routine is temporarily ended.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S340 that the combination of the ID number and the mobile number is not registered in the customer database 10d, it is determined that the user cannot be authenticated, and the CPU proceeds to page PG23. Is transmitted to the Internet 40 to cause the mobile phone 20 to display the error display screen shown in FIG. 5D (step S395). After that, the process returns to "return" and the web site generation routine is temporarily ended.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the "daily input" routine. As shown in the figure, when the process proceeds to the “daily input” routine, first, the CPU inputs a mobile phone number from the mobile phone 20 using the calling phone number notification function (step S410). Next, it is determined whether or not the input mobile number is registered in the above-mentioned authentication file (step S420). Here, if it is determined that the mobile number is not registered in the authentication file, the caller of the mobile phone 20 determines that the authentication is not possible, and sends a message indicating an authentication error to the Internet 40. The message is displayed on the mobile phone 20 (step S430). After that, the process returns to "return" and the web site generation routine is temporarily ended.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S420 that the mobile number is registered in the authentication file, it is determined that the user who is the sender of the mobile phone 20 has been authenticated, and the process proceeds to step S440. Advance. In step S440, the CPU determines whether or not the input of the current weight has already been made today. If a negative determination is made here, the CPU transmits the page PG31 to the Internet 40, so that the The screen shown in FIG. 6B is displayed (step S450). After that, CP
U uses the data entry field Di11 included in this screen to
Information on the current weight is input (step S460).

On the other hand, in step S440, if it is determined that the current weight has already been made today, the processes in steps S450 and S460 are not executed. Thereafter, by transmitting the page PG32 to the Internet 40, the mobile phone 20 displays the screen shown in FIG. 6C (step S470). After that, CP
U inputs information from the user through the mobile phone 20 (step S480), and this information is "1", "2",
It is determined whether it is "3" or "4" (step S490).

If it is determined in step S490 that the value is "1", the process proceeds to step S510 in FIG.
In step S510, the CPU transmits the page PG33 to the Internet 40, so that the mobile phone 20
The screen shown in FIG. 6D is displayed. This page P
In G33, as described above, a menu of many foods is indicated by a character string and a simple image. In a succeeding step S520, the CPU inputs information from the user through the mobile phone 20 to know which food is selected. Then, it is determined whether or not the selected food is other than "x", that is, other than the one indicating that the user has not eaten (step S530). Here, if a positive determination is made, the calorie amount corresponding to the selected food is obtained by searching from a table prepared in advance (step S).
540). Thereafter, by transmitting the page PG34 and the calculated calorie amount to the Internet 40, the mobile phone 20 displays the screen shown in FIG. 6E (step S550).

If, on the other hand, a negative determination is made in step S530, that is, if it is determined that the selected food is “x”, the page PG35 is transmitted to the Internet 40, and the mobile phone 20 receives ( The screen shown in f) is displayed (step S560). After execution of step S550 or S560, the process exits to "Return" and temporarily ends the website generation routine.

If it is determined in step S490 that the value is "2" or "3", a process similar to the process shown in FIG. 16 is executed. Specifically, step S5
The menu displayed in step 10 and the message displayed in step S560 correspond to “lunch” and “snacking”, but the same processing as in FIG. 16 is executed except for these points.

If it is determined in step S490 that the value is "5", the process proceeds to step S510 in FIG. In step S610, the page PG36 is transmitted to the Internet 40, so that the page
(B) is displayed (step S61).
0). Next, the CPU inputs the information of the numerical value (the number of steps) of the walking counter from the data input field Di12 included in this screen (step S620). continue,
The CPU determines the walking calorie consumption C consumed by walking based on the number of steps input in step S620.
A process for calculating W is performed (step S630). In detail, it is performed according to the following equation (5), assuming that about 250 Kcal is consumed in 10,000 steps.

Walking calorie consumption CW = Steps × 0.025 [kcal] (5)

After the execution of step S630, the CPU calculates the total amount CE of the calories consumed during breakfast, lunch, and snacks by:
It is obtained from the addition of the calorie amount obtained from step S540 in FIG. 16 (step S640). Then, step S
The walking calorie consumption CW obtained in 630, the total calorie intake CE obtained in step S640,
From the calorie consumption by life intensity CL recorded in the customer database in step S390, a process of calculating a subtracted calorie amount CS by subtracting the calorie intake and consumption up to the day before dinner on today's day is performed (step S65).
0). Specifically, this calculation is performed according to the following equation (6).

CS = CE−CL−CW (6)

Thereafter, the CPU proceeds to step S390 to store the target minus calorie amount CT recorded in the customer database.
Then, the remaining calorie amount CX is calculated by subtracting the subtracted calorie amount CS from the target calorie amount (step S660). CX = CT − (− CS) (7)

Thereafter, the CPU transmits the page PG37, the subtracted calorie amount CS, and the residual calorie amount CX to the Internet 40, so that the portable telephone 20 can receive the calorie amount shown in FIG.
(C) or (d) is displayed (step S670). Subsequently, a recommended menu corresponding to the value of the remaining calorie amount CX is determined (step S68).
0). In detail, a table defining a food menu corresponding to the remaining calorie amount CX is prepared in the RAM or the HDD in advance, and a food menu corresponding to the calorie amount CX is determined from this table. Thereafter, the CPU transmits the page PG39 and the recommended menu determined in step S680 to the Internet 40, thereby causing the mobile phone 20 to display the screen shown in FIG. 7E (step S69).
0). After that, the process returns to "return" and the web site generation routine is temporarily ended.

If it is determined in step S490 that the value is "4", the process proceeds to step S710 in FIG.
In step S710, the CPU transmits the page PG40 to the Internet 40, so that the mobile phone 20
The screen shown in FIG. 8B is displayed. This page P
In G40, as described above, a menu of many foods is indicated by a character string and a simple image. In a succeeding step S720, the CPU inputs information from the user using the mobile phone 20 and knows which food is selected. Then, the calorie amount CE1 corresponding to the selected food is obtained by searching from a prepared table (step S730). Then, step S650
By adding the calorie amount CE1 of the food obtained in step S730 to the subtracted calorie amount CS before the dinner obtained in step S730, the daily calorie amount CSS is obtained (step S740).

Subsequently, the CPU calculates the page PG41, the subtracted calorie amount CSS obtained in step S740, and the target minus calorie amount CT recorded in the customer database.
And a message corresponding to the comparison result of CSS and CT to the Internet 40,
The screen shown in FIG. 8C is displayed (step S7).
50). After that, the process returns to "return" and the web site generation routine is temporarily ended.

According to the diet information providing system of the first embodiment described in detail above, the user
0 to access the website of "Vespropomy Mode" on the Internet 40,
By inputting the number of steps measured using a walking counter and the content of the consumed food, it is possible to read from the mobile phone 20 the subtracted calorie amount CS from the user's daily intake and consumption. it can. Since the subtracted calorie amount CS obtained by subtracting the intake and the consumption is reflected in the increase and decrease in the weight of the user, the user can know the progress of the diet from the diet information.
Therefore, the diet information providing system according to the first embodiment has an effect that an effective diet can be instructed to the user.

Also, in this embodiment, the user accesses this website and inputs the daily weight, the target weight, and the target period, so that the calorie reduction per day is required. Can be read as the target minus calorie amount CT. For this reason, the user can know the progress of the diet more reliably by comparing the target minus calorie amount CT with the above-described daily calorie amount CS.

In this embodiment, the "target weight"
Is input, the values that can be input are restricted according to the values input from the data input fields Di6 and Di7 for “height” and “weight”. For this reason, according to this configuration, it is possible to limit the input of a target weight that is too thin when viewed from height. Therefore, excessive dieting can be prevented.

Further, in this embodiment, the user can input the number of steps and the contents of the food taken from after waking up to before dinner before the dinner, so that the menu menu recommended as the dinner can be read out. it can. For this reason, the user can be instructed on a more effective diet.

In this embodiment, since the mobile phone 20 is used as the terminal device, there is an effect that the convenience is excellent.

In this embodiment, the user accesses the “Vespropomy Mode” website using the mobile phone 20 and initially registers personal information including at least a name and an address. Then, the walking counter is mailed to the destination indicated by the personal information from the service provider who is also the administrator of the web server 10 together with the ID number. Thereafter, the user is permitted to access this website by inputting an ID number on the website. For this reason, there is an effect that user authentication can be easily performed. In particular, in this embodiment, once from the mobile phone 20,
If an ID number is input, the mobile phone number notified from the mobile phone 20 is stored in the authentication file, and thereafter, the user can be authenticated from the same mobile phone 20 without inputting the ID number. Will be able to Therefore, the operability is excellent.

Next, a diet information providing system as a second embodiment will be described. The diet information providing system according to the second embodiment differs from the diet information providing system according to the first embodiment in the following three points, and the other configuration is the same.

In the diet information providing system according to the second embodiment, the current weight and the deducted calorie amount CSS for each user are stored in the customer database 10d in order every day from the start of the diet. Further, from the daily weight and the deducted calorie amount stored in the customer database 10d, the calorie amount required for the user to reduce the unit weight is calculated, and the target minus calorie amount CT is corrected by this value. It is configured. Further, it is configured to predict a future weight change of the user from the daily weight and the subtracted calorie amount stored in the customer database 10d.

Hereinafter, the configuration (1) will be described in detail. Is configured as follows. In step S460 (FIG. 15) of the first embodiment, the process of inputting the current weight is performed. In addition to this, in the second embodiment, the input weight data is stored in the customer database 1.
A process of adding to the record of the corresponding user of 0d is performed. Further, in step S740 (FIG. 18) of the first embodiment, the process of calculating the amount of subtracted calories CSS for one day is performed. In addition, in the second embodiment, the calculated amount of subtracted calories is calculated. CSS to customer database 10d
To add to the record of the corresponding user.

FIG. 19 is an explanatory diagram showing the data structure of the customer database 10d thus constructed. As shown, the customer database 10d of the second embodiment is shown.
Is provided with fields fd1 and fd2 for storing the daily weight and the calorie deduction amount from the start of the diet as compared with the customer database of the first embodiment. With this configuration, in the second embodiment, it is possible to know the status of the user's diet so far, and it is possible to predict the future from the past status. The above configuration is intended to correct the target minus calorie amount CT using this past situation. The above configuration is to predict the future weight change of the user by using this future prediction.

The above is configured in detail as follows. Step 7 corresponding to the processing at the end of the daily work
After 50 (FIG. 18), the following processing is performed as shown in FIG.

First, the weight field fd1 for the user in the customer database 10d is searched to find a day that is 1 kg larger than the weight data of the latest day (that is, when a 1 kg weight loss is realized today, The date which is the starting weight is specified (step S751).
Next, the subtracted calorie amount CS from the latest day to the specified day is integrated (step S752). afterwards,
The value obtained in step 752 is regarded as the calorie amount required for the user to reduce 1 kg, and the calorie amount C0 [k
The process of correcting the target minus calorie amount CT calculated in step 370 is performed using [cal] (step S753). Specifically, the target minus calorie amount CT is updated according to the following equation (7) (step S754). Thereafter, the process returns to "return" and the web site generation routine is temporarily terminated.

Target minus calorie amount (new) CT ′ = CT × (−C0) / 7000 (7)

In this embodiment, the calorie amount C0 required to reduce the weight by 1 kg is obtained from the sum of the subtracted calorie amount CS of the number of days required to actually reduce the weight by 1 kg.
Instead, the actual number of days required to reduce a positive kg greater than 1 such as 2 kg or 3 kg is calculated from the total sum of subtracted calorie amounts CS (although it is necessary to divide by the value of the kg). May be configured. According to this configuration, since the calorie amount C0 required for losing 1 kg in a longer period can be obtained, noise components such as, for example, specially performing an exercise that cannot be measured by a walking counter such as swimming are averaged. The calorie amount C0 required to reduce the weight by 1 kg can be made more accurate.

The above is configured in detail as follows. In the second embodiment, the initial page PG50 of the website of “Vespulo My Mode” is configured as shown in FIG. In the initial page PG50, in addition to the same menus of "daily input", "input at start", and "member registration" as in the first embodiment, "weight estimation"
Menu is prepared. When the user selects the “weight estimation” menu, the screen of the mobile phone 20
A transition is made to the page PG51 shown in FIG. On this page PG51, the number of days up to the target weight and the number of calories are displayed.

The number of days up to the target weight is determined by calculating the average weight loss value per day from the data stored in the weight field fd1 for the user in the customer database 10d. Is obtained by dividing the deviation from the average weight loss value. The number of calories is calculated as the number of days up to the target weight in step 753.
Is calculated by multiplying the calorie amount C0 required to reduce the weight by 1 kg calculated in the above.

Also, on this page PG51, a menu for transitioning to each page showing "weight graph", "data of the previous day", and "average number of steps" is displayed. When the menu of the “weight graph” is selected by the user, a transition is made to a page PG52 shown in FIG. Page P
G52 displays a graph showing the change in weight of the user so far and the predicted change in weight up to the target weight in the future. This graph is easily drawn from the data stored in the weight field fd1 for the user in the customer database 10d and the average weight loss value per day obtained above.

When the menu of “data of the previous day” is selected, a transition is made to the page PG53 shown in FIG.

Transition to G54. On the page PG54, the number of steps for this week and the average number of steps are displayed.

The average number of steps is used as follows. Although the number of steps is performed by inputting the value of the walking counter every day, this walking counter needs to be reset every day before use. This reset is easy to forget, and it is not uncommon for the walking counter to be worth two days. When the user feels that the value of the walking counter is extremely large, this page PG54
Is displayed, and by referring to the average number of steps per day, it is possible to determine whether or not the reset has been forgotten.

From the data of the average number of steps used to display the page PG54, the numerical value of the input from the data input column Di12 of “Steps” on the screen of the page PG36 (see FIG. 7B) is an incorrect value. It is also possible to adopt a configuration for presenting the possibility that For example, when the numerical value input from the data input field Di12 is determined to be 1.8 times or more of the average number of steps, "Confirmation" is displayed to prompt the operator to input whether or not the input is really correct. If possible, re-enter the number of steps. If there is an input of an error in the "confirmation", the value input from the data input field Di12 is subtracted by the number of steps of the previous day, and the user confirms again whether the subtracted value is correct. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which

As described in detail above, according to the diet information providing system of the second embodiment, the weight change of the user is stored in the customer database 10d, and the weight change of the user is predicted from the weight change. be able to. Therefore, effective information can be notified to the user by dieting. Further, in this embodiment, the calorie amount required for the user to reduce 1 kg is calculated for each user,
Using this value, the target minus the amount of calories per day C
T can be calculated. Therefore, the target minus calorie amount CT that matches the user rather than the average value
Can be calculated, so that more accurate diet information can be provided.

Next, a diet information providing system according to a third embodiment will be described. The diet information providing system according to the third embodiment realizes the transition of the screen when “Steps” is selected on the page PG32 and the transition of the screen as compared with the diet information providing system of the first embodiment.

It should be noted that, even when the menu “no sport” is selected on the page PG60 shown in FIG.

FIG. 23 is a flow chart showing the first half of the processing routine executed when "number of steps" is selected on page PG32 in the third embodiment.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the latter half of the processing routine. When the “steps” is selected on the page PG32 and the processing is started, as shown in FIG.
By transmitting G36 to the Internet 40, the mobile phone 20 displays the screen shown in FIG. 22A (step S610). In this flowchart, steps having the same configuration as in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment. Next, the CPU inputs the information of the numerical value (the number of steps) of the walking counter from the data input field Di12 included in this screen (step S620). Subsequently, the CPU performs a process of calculating the walking calorie consumption CW consumed by walking from the number of steps input in step S620 (step S63).
0).

After the execution of step S630, the CPU sends page PG60 to Internet 40,
The mobile phone 20 displays the screen shown in FIG. 22B (step S801). Next, the CPU inputs numerical value information input by the user from this screen (step S802), and determines whether the input numerical value is in the range of 1 to 5 or 6 (step S803). .

Here, if it is determined that the number is 1 to 5, the CPU sends the page PG61 to the Internet 40 to display the screen shown in FIG. (Step S804), and enter the exercise time of 10 minutes from the data entry field Di20 included in this screen.
Information of a numerical value of 1 / (1) is input (step S805).
Subsequently, the CPU consumes calories when a sport determined by the numerical value selected in step S804 is performed for an exercise time (unit: [minutes]) obtained by multiplying the numerical value input in step S805 by 10 times. The amount (sports calorie consumption) CP is calculated (step S806).

More specifically, the amount of calories consumed per 10 minutes (units of calories per sport) for each type of sport such as “bicycle”, “ball game (baseball, golf)”, “dance”, “jogging”, “swimming”, etc. Is stored in the table
In step S806, the sports item input in step S802 is stored in the memory of the web server 10 in advance, and the sports unit calorie amount is derived by referring to the table. Then, by multiplying the derived sports calorie amount by the exercise time obtained from the information input in step S805,
The sports calorie consumption CP is obtained.

The sports unit calorie amount stored in the table is an average value without considering individual differences. Therefore, by multiplying the sports unit calorie amount by a correction coefficient based on the “sex” and “weight” of the user, a configuration can be employed in which the sports unit calorie amount suitable for the user can be used.

After execution of step S806, the CPU proceeds to step S640 in FIG. Step S6
In 40, the CPU obtains the total CE of the calorie amounts taken during breakfast, lunch, and snack from the addition of the calorie amounts obtained from step S540 in FIG. Thereafter, the walking calorie consumption CW obtained in step S630,
Sports calorie consumption CP determined in step S806
And the total amount C of the calorie intake determined in step S640
E and the daily consumption intensity calorie consumption CL recorded in the customer database in step S390,
A process of calculating a subtracted calorie amount CS by subtracting calorie intake and consumption up to the day before dinner is performed (step S).
807). Specifically, this calculation is performed according to the following equation (8).

CS = CE−CL−CW−CP (8)

Thereafter, step S6 similar to that of the first embodiment.
Steps S60 to S690 are executed, and this processing routine is temporarily ended.

According to the diet information providing system of the third embodiment configured as described above, the same effects as in the first embodiment can be obtained. In particular, in the third embodiment, the subtracted calorie amount CS can be obtained including the calorie consumption amount consumed by sports other than walking, such as swimming, cycling, and ball games. For this reason, even when exercise other than walking is performed, the subtracted calorie amount CS becomes a highly accurate value. Therefore, the subtracted calorie amount CS is more accurately reflected in the change in the user's weight. Therefore, it is possible to provide the user with a more accurate diet progress status.
