The mobile terminal 1 prompts the user to input personal information such as name, date of birth, identification ID, and physical condition by self-determination, the user inputs personal information, and the mobile terminal 1 adds this personal information to physical condition data. Yes (step 2). Physical condition data as shown in FIG. 2 is generated from the personal information, the measurement result of the measurement, and the image data of the photograph. Here, the inspection order may be any order, may be the order determined by the mobile terminal 1, or may be selected by the user to determine the order. Further, the personal information can be registered in the mobile terminal 1 by the user in advance, and once input, the input can be omitted from the next time.

The mobile terminal 1 prompts the user to determine whether or not to send the physical condition data to the outside (step 3), and when the user sends the data to the outside, the mobile terminal 1 selects or inputs the destination. Encourage them to do so (step 4). When the destination is determined, the mobile terminal 1 transmits the physical condition data to the destination (step 5), and the control unit 21 of the server 2 receives the physical condition data transmitted via the communication unit 22 (step 6). ,
A discrimination process is performed (step 7). The control unit 21 transmits the determination result generated by this determination process to the mobile terminal 1 via the communication unit 22 as the physical condition prediction (step 8), and the mobile terminal 1 receives the physical condition prediction and the user receives the physical condition prediction. (Step 9). If it is not transmitted to the outside in step 3, the mobile terminal 1 performs internal processing (step 10) and ends.

The discrimination processing in step 7 will be described in detail. Based on the identification ID of the physical condition data received via the communication unit 22, the control unit 21 of the server 2 reads the physical condition data having the same identification ID already stored in the database 23 (step 71), and based on these physical condition data Physical condition transition data is generated (step 72). Here, the physical condition transition data indicates a change in each element of the physical condition data, and specifically may be discrete information obtained by simply combining the transmitted physical condition data and the read physical condition data (see FIG. 3). Alternatively, continuous information such as a graph converted from this discrete information or an approximate calculation formula may be used as long as it is information suitable for generating the subsequent determination result.

In the physical condition transition data, the control unit 21
As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of physical condition data from the physical condition data from the date of the received physical condition data to the received physical condition data before a predetermined day is treated as a current physical condition data group α, and all the physical condition data not including the received physical condition data are read out. It consists of physical condition data and treats a plurality of physical condition data of the same day as the current physical condition data group α as a past physical condition data group β.
And the past physical condition data group β are compared for each element, and the most approximate past physical condition data group βx is detected (step 73).

In FIG. 3, the physical condition data for three days including the received physical condition data is a current physical condition data group α, and the past physical condition data group β is also composed of the physical data for three days. For example,
Date of past physical condition data group β1 from 2002/5/6 to 2
The physical condition data for three days until 002/5/8 is set, and the past physical condition data group β1 and the current physical condition data group α are compared.
Next, the past physical condition data group β2 is dated 2002/5/5.
To three days from 2002/5/7,
The past physical condition data group β2 is compared with the present physical condition data group α. Hereinafter, similarly, all the past physical condition data groups β and the current physical condition data group α are compared to detect the past physical condition data group βx that is closest to the current physical condition data group α.

As a result of the comparison, the most approximate past physical condition data group βx is detected, and the physical condition data γ next to the physical condition data having the latest date is specified in the most approximate past physical condition data group βx, and this is specified. Read the physical condition data
It is added to the determination result as self relative physical condition data (step 74). Similarly, the control unit 21 determines the transmitted physical condition data based on a general determination standard. In this determination, each element of the physical condition data is compared with a general reference value for each element (step 75), and the comparison result is added to the determination result as a general relative physical condition (step 76). This general criterion can also use the stored physical condition data of other users, by using the physical condition data of users whose age, sex, weight, body fat percentage, etc. are approximate,
It is possible to obtain a more accurate discrimination result. In this case, when the number of users who are close to each other is small, it can be considered that the reliability is low and added to the determination result as a general relative physical condition of the determination result based on a general determination standard.

The control unit 21 of the server 2 identifies the physical condition data received by the server 2 via the communication unit 22 after adding the self relative physical condition data and the general relative physical condition to the discrimination result.
Based on D, the data is stored in the database 23 in time series (step 77), and the process proceeds to step 8. Step 10
The internal processing in will be described in detail. The mobile terminal 1 determines the physical condition data based on a general determination standard. In this determination, each element of the physical condition data is compared with a general reference value for each element, and the comparison result is displayed to the user as a general relative physical condition. Here, the portable terminal 1 is also provided with a recording unit to the extent that the physical condition data of the user can be continuously stored, and the mobile terminal 1 can be operated in the same manner as the operation of the server 2, and the physical condition of the server 2 can be offline.
