Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for measuring efforts to maintain and improve an individual's health.

  Traditionally, the concept of health is said to be “not just ill, but completely good physically, mentally, and socially.” It has been understood that it is not possible. For example, if no illness is found in a medical checkup or medical checkup, many people think “I am healthy” for the time being. Normally, if a person is not sick, that is, if it is in a normal physiological state, due to homeostasis (homeostasis maintenance function) of the living body, even if it continues to take wrong lifestyle habits, a certain functional state up to a certain limit Can be maintained. However, if the wrong lifestyle is taken for a long time, the gain of the homeostasis function is reduced, and as a result, the pathological state is shifted. Therefore, even if no illness is found in the test results, it cannot be immediately determined that it is healthy. This is because it is merely a non-disease state in which no abnormality is observed, and it entails the risk of shifting to a pathological state depending on the lifestyle. Therefore, it is extremely important to self-manage lifestyle habits so that they do not become sick from an early age.

  True health can be won by a balance between a protective attitude to prevent and prevent illness and an aggressive attitude to acquire a lifestyle that actively trains mind and body toward health. .

  Among these, for example, there are means such as a health checkup and early treatment as a defensive posture. Specifically, they may be vaccinated before the flu epidemic, enter a human dock once a year, or take Chinese medicine. These are important for crisis management against the illness, and everyone knows especially when they are mature.

  On the other hand, in order to practice aggressive attitudes that actively train the mind and body, we had a clear awareness of the objectives of the attacks, we inspected the current status of lifestyle in general, and redesigned lifestyle based on the results It is a necessary condition to self-manage it above. That is, it appears in the form of self-control such as daily moderate exercise, regular life, balanced diet intake, and the like. In other words, in an aggressive posture, it is an indispensable condition to grasp the history and the like of the functional state of the living body so far by self-inspecting the current state of lifestyle habits.

  Here, the “functional state of the living body” means a state of functions of the body, organ, tissue, etc. constituting the human body and a state of the function of the human spirit. Accordingly, a normal functional state of the living body means a “health state”.

  As a method for checking, measuring and evaluating the functional state of a living body, there is “SF-36”, for example (Non-Patent Document 1). In SF-36, respondents can answer their own questions about the functional state of the body by answering questions such as “How well are you?” And “How much have you experienced physical pain in the past month?” The inspection can be performed, and the functional state of the living body can be easily grasped. Furthermore, it is possible to grasp the functional state of one's living body more accurately by the spirit / health check sheet of Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-084983 that solves the problems of the validity and accuracy of the measurement result in “SF-36”. . These methods are excellent in grasping the functional state of a living body from the viewpoint of a doctor.

However, the specific method that the respondent should take next based on the results of the method has been left to each person so far, and the development of a rational method that can be done by everyone has been delayed. In other words, there has been a problem that a method for measuring and evaluating that a healthy lifestyle is maintained and promoted purely by self-examination without the help of a doctor has not been known.
Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-049883 Fukuhara, S, et al. : Translation, adaptation, and validation of the SF-36 Health Server for use in Japan. , J .; Clin. Epidemiol. 1998, 51: 1037-1044.

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and a method of operating the apparatus that enable each person to learn rational lifestyle habits that can promote and maintain health. Another object of the present invention is to provide a device that allows each person to recognize whether or not he / she is taking an active posture toward health by self-inspecting the current status of lifestyle habits. The operation method is provided. Furthermore, another object of the present invention is that each person has a clear sense of purpose toward health, which enables redesign of lifestyle habits and self-management of habits, and can win a high level of health. Providing a device capable of performing the above and a method of operating the same.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an answer value acquisition unit that acquires an answer value that indexes each answer to a question for each classification item for evaluating the functional state of a living body, and a history of acquired answer values For each respondent, an evaluation value holding unit for holding the evaluation value according to the response value history, and an evaluation value obtained by evaluating the response value history according to the evaluation table An energetic posture measurement device is provided, which has an energetic posture value acquisition unit that acquires the energetic posture value. Also provided is a method of operating the above-mentioned spirit posture measuring device.

  According to the present invention, the respondent can learn a lifestyle that can promote and maintain health through self-inspection. In addition, it is possible to recognize whether or not he / she is taking a positive attitude toward health through self-inspection. Furthermore, it is possible to clearly have a sense of purpose for health, thereby enabling redesign of lifestyle habits and self-management and winning a high level of health.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and can be implemented in various modes without departing from the scope of the invention.

  The first embodiment will describe claims 1, 2, 3, and 4.

  << Embodiment 1 >>

  <Overview>

  FIG. 1 shows a conceptual diagram of the present embodiment, and an outline of the present embodiment will be described below. FIG. 1 shows an attitude value (0101) obtained as a result of measuring a question relating to the measurement item “breathing” using the spirit invention measuring apparatus of the present embodiment on the same day of each month of 2005. “Energetic posture value” is a value determined by comparing two different answer values (0102) in time series, and is positive and positive for maintaining and improving one's own health. This is a numerical value for objective evaluation of the “spirit attitude”, which is the transition of behavior. As shown in this figure, when it is judged from the transition of the answer value (0102), it seems that the value is generally increasing from the time of the first measurement. Therefore, respondents consider themselves living a healthy life. However, when the energy posture value calculated from the increase / decrease of the response value of each adjacent month is viewed in time series (0103), the energy posture value is a positive value indicating a healthy posture (0104) and a non-health It can be seen that a negative value indicating a normal posture (0105) is being passed. In other words, it can be seen that this respondent is not fully aware of health related to breathing and lacks awareness of taking a positive attitude toward health. If the content of the question is a regular question that actively maintains and promotes health, which will be described later, this respondent will be proactive in promoting health by consciously implementing the content of the question in the future. Will improve the attitude.

  As described above, the energy posture measuring apparatus described in this embodiment compares the functional state of the living body of the same respondent at two different points in time series, and aims at the health of the respondent between the two points. This is a calculation device having a function of measuring the posture. By using this device, the respondent performs self-inspection multiple times, so that the respondent can measure and evaluate whether he / she is maintaining and promoting a healthy lifestyle.

  <Configuration>

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the spirit posture measuring apparatus (0200) in the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, the spirit posture measuring apparatus of the present embodiment includes a response value acquisition unit (0201), a response value history storage unit (0202), an evaluation table storage unit (0203), and a spirit posture value acquisition unit ( 0204). Each component will be specifically described below.

  The functional blocks of the spirit posture measuring device described below can be realized as hardware, software, or both hardware and software. Specifically, if a computer is used, a CPU, a memory, a bus, a hard disk drive, a media reading drive such as a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, a transmission / reception port for various communication or printing devices, an interface, and the like Examples include hardware components such as peripheral devices, driver programs for controlling the hardware, and other application programs.

  By sequentially executing the program developed on the memory, the function of each unit is realized by processing, storing, outputting, etc., data on the memory and data input via the interface.

  In addition, the present invention can be realized not only as an apparatus or a system but also as a method. In addition, a part of the invention can be configured as software. Furthermore, a software product used for causing a computer to execute such software and a recording medium in which the product is fixed to a recording medium are naturally included in the technical scope of the present invention (the same applies throughout the present specification). Is).

  The “answer value acquisition unit” (0201) is configured to acquire an answer value obtained by indexing each answer to the question for each classification item for evaluating the functional state of the living body.

  “Evaluating the functional state of a living body” means determining what value the functional state of the living body is and determining its value. That is, it means determining whether or not the patient is in a healthy state.

  “A classification item for evaluating the functional state of a living body” refers to an item that classifies lifestyle habits, mental factors, living environment, and the like that can affect the function of the living body when evaluating the functional state of the living body. Specifically, for example, “eating habits”, “breathing”, “sleep”, “body temperature regulation”, “exercise”, “heart”, “sex”, “environment”, “objective examination data”, etc. It is done. Here, “sex” is not limited to reproductive behavior but also includes a wide range of loving elements. Further, “objective examination data” means examination data objectively measured in a medical institution or the like. Specifically, it is test data obtained by a medical checkup or a periodic health checkup, and more specifically, for example, measurement data of blood pressure, blood sugar, blood cholesterol, and the like.

  The number of classification items is not particularly limited. For example, any one of the nine items described above may be used, or a combination of two or more may be used. Of course, items other than the nine items described above may be provided. Since the spirit posture measuring apparatus of the present invention uniquely evaluates the functional state of a living body for each classification item, there is no problem even if only one classification item is used. However, the health condition is formed from the comprehensive results of lifestyle habits, and considering the importance of the balance of each classification item, it is preferable to target more classification items.

    (Regarding questions)

  The “question” is a question necessary for evaluating the functional state of the living body related to the classification item.

  The content of the question is not particularly limited as long as it can evaluate the functional state of the living body. Desirable questions are those that actively maintain and improve health. This is because through such questions, respondents learn lifestyle habits that can promote and maintain health and recognize their own health. It also leads to a sense of purpose with a more aggressive attitude towards health. Furthermore, the higher the purpose consciousness, the more self-management consciousness will be established to redesign and practice lifestyle habits. The content of the question includes, for example, the content of a meal to be described later if the classification item is “eating habits”, or the content of a question regarding the number of meals, the amount, or the time zone. These are related to the causes of lifestyle-related diseases, etc., and it is possible to know the possibility of their onset and to avoid the danger if they take action consciously. It can be said that the content is to improve.

  Further, the question content may be a matter related to a sense of abnormality of the body. For example, a question such as “I don't usually feel headache” can be cited. This is because such question contents are related to a precursor of a non-health state, and thus contribute to evaluation of the functional state of the living body.

  Furthermore, it is desirable that the question content is not changed for each measurement opportunity, but is the same question content (the same applies to the answer content if it is a fixed question format). This is because more accurate results can be obtained when the bases of the question contents and the like are the same in comparing and evaluating two answers obtained at different occasions.

  The following are examples of “category items for evaluating the functional state of living organisms”: “dietary life”, “breathing”, “sleep”, “temperature regulation”, “exercise”, “heart”, “sex”, “environment” ”And“ objective inspection data ”, specific examples of question contents are shown.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of a question related to “food life”. Regarding eating habits, as shown in this figure, for example, “1. I enjoy eating slowly” “2. I eat three meals regularly and modestly at night” “3. Nutrition and safety "I am eating a dish of ingredients carefully examined".

  Other examples of dietary questions include “I eat seasonal foods and dishes”, “Grain, beans, fish, meat, eggs, dairy products, seaweed, vegetables, fruits, etc. "I have a well-balanced meal", "I refrain from eating at night and snacks", "I drink tea and water when I'm hungry between meals", "I refrain from salty and stuffy foods" ”,“ I do n’t drink too much ”,“ I try to chew well until I get enough saliva ”,“ Each meal is about the eighth part of my stomach ”,“ My proper weight and necessary Examples include questions such as "I know the amount of energy (energy)" and "I am careful about toothpaste prevention, such as brushing my teeth." All these are feasible lifestyles if you are conscious.

  FIG. 3 shows the same question example related to “breathing”. Examples of questions related to breathing include questions such as "I have a habit of taking deep breaths consciously from time to time", "I don't smoke cigarettes", and "I breathe tasty air every day, early morning". All these are feasible lifestyles if you are conscious.

  Other questions related to breathing include questions such as “I can breathe naturally without being conscious”, “I don't cough and sneeze on a daily basis”, and “I don't snore during sleep”. It is done. These are not things you can do consciously, but they can change as your lifestyle changes.

  Examples of questions related to “sleep” include “I wake up almost at a fixed time every day”, “I put sunlight in the daytime and place of life”, “I don't have a habit of falling asleep in the evening”, “ Before going to bed, I turn off the light and try to enter the floor after I get sleepy. " Examples of these questions related to sleep are based on research and papers on biological rhythms, sleep improvement, sleep environment studies, etc., `` Ensuring the regularity of biological rhythms '', `` Ensuring good awakening during the day and before going to bed '', It is an example of a question set as four conditions: “Relaxation before bedtime and preparation of brain and body for sleep” and “Preparation of good sleep environment”. In addition, these are lifestyle habits that can be implemented if conscious.

  Other examples of sleep questions include: “When I wake up every morning, I have a feeling of deep sleep and exhilaration.” , “I think the bedroom environment is good, such as room temperature and noise”. These are not things you can do consciously, but they can change as your lifestyle changes.

  Examples of questions related to body temperature regulation include: “I am trying to take a bath that is not too hot,” “I am exposed to the gentle sunlight,” “I am careful to hydrate frequently.” Questions such as “I adjust clothes according to the heat and cold” and “I put a temperature / humidity meter in my room so I often see it”. These are lifestyle habits that can be implemented if you are conscious.

  Other examples of questions related to body temperature regulation include “I can feel changes in temperature and humidity” and “I feel better when I take a bath”. These are not things you can do consciously, but they can change as your lifestyle changes.

  Examples of questions related to “exercise” are “I enjoyed participating in sports, dance and recreational activities”, “I am consciously walking or riding a bicycle”, “I am consciously using stairs. `` I am walking and jogging as a health promotion exercise, '' `` I am doing strength training such as abdominal exercises and push-ups, '' `` I am conscious of stretching and flexible gymnastics '' etc. . These are lifestyle habits that can be implemented if you are conscious.

  Other questions related to exercise include “I have enough physical strength” and “I feel comfortable when I move my body and sweat”. These are not things you can do consciously, but they can change as your lifestyle changes.

  Examples of questions related to “mind” are “I have hopes for the future and dreams I want to realize”, “I live with a sense of purpose every day”, “I do not think too much or think too much” , “I sometimes check my feelings”, “I'm interested in reading, culture, art, sports, etc.”. These are lifestyle habits that can be implemented if you are conscious.

  Other examples of questions related to the mind are: “I am impressed by beautiful things and good things”, “I feel comfortable doing everyday things”, “I am fine with memory”, “I am relaxed in time and feelings” There are also questions such as These are not things you can do consciously, but they can change as your lifestyle changes.

  Examples of questions related to "sex" include "I am worried about my family and friends", "I sometimes discuss sex with my family", "I have love from my family, friends and neighbors", "Skin I think the ship ’s love expression is important, ”“ I ’m worried about love and love scenes on TV. ”“ I ’m curious when I meet the opposite sex. ”“ I want to be beautiful and strong. Questions like "I think", "I have a companion (or a friend of the opposite sex)", "I think it's beautiful to love".

  Examples of questions related to “environment” include “cleaning the interior and exterior of the house”, “separate garbage”, “acting in consideration of the environment”, “ "I try to touch" green "", "I try to walk or ride a bicycle even a little away without using a car", "I am friendly to people in need", "Troublesome people around me "I am not trying to apply". These are lifestyle habits that can be implemented if you are conscious.

  Other examples of environmental questions include "I am interested in social information", "I have friends who can consult with me", "There are no particular problems with the transportation environment in my life", "To things and people I'm grateful for that, "and" There are no places of security anxiety in the neighborhood. "

  Examples of questions related to "objective test data" include: "blood glucose levels are always within the normal range", "blood pressure levels are both within the maximum and minimum levels", "total serum cholesterol levels are always Questions such as “it is within the normal range” and “no urine protein has been detected”. None of the objective test data can be consciously performed by the person himself, but can change as the lifestyle changes.

  (About answer)

  “Each answer” is an answer for each category. Each answer must be associated with the question corresponding to that answer and the category to which the question belongs.

  There is no particular restriction on the answering method. Preferably, it is a fixed answer method determined in advance for the question items. This is because it is easy to index an answer, which will be described later, if it is a standard answer. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 to be described later, there is a method of selecting a level that the respondent himself / herself corresponds to from among five levels of standard answers. Of course, it is possible to use a free answer system by entering free-style text. In this case, however, it is necessary to prepare in advance a table or the like for digitizing each occurrence of a keyword or the like in order to index answers described later.

  “To index each answer to the question” is to digitize the answer made to the question of each classification item. For example, if the answer to a question is an alternative answer such as “Yes”, “No”, “Applicable”, “Neither”, or “Not applicable”, “Yes = 1 point”, “No = 0 point” This can be achieved by setting a score in advance for each answer such as The answers to each question were converted into the preset score in this way, and the converted single answer score was processed as it was, or as the total score of the answer, as a percentage of the total score, or as the average score It can be indexed as a numerical value. In the present invention, a numerical value obtained by indexing answers in this way is referred to as “answer value”.

  There are two main methods for obtaining indexed response values.

  The first method is a method of automatically converting an answer input from the interface into an answer value associated with the answer in the spirit posture measuring apparatus of the present embodiment. In other words, a standardized answer or an answer of a free-style sentence, etc., is obtained by causing the respondent to input with other input devices such as a touch panel, keyboard, mouse, etc., and then an indexing table that is held in advance in the device This is a method for obtaining an answer value from the answer based on the above. Alternatively, it is a method in which respondents are made to answer in the form of a mark sheet, etc., and the answer is read based on an indexing table stored in advance by reading the answer with a built-in or external reader. Also good.

  This method will be described with reference to a specific example in FIG. This figure shows the touch panel type display of the spirit posture value measuring apparatus, the indexing table held in the apparatus, and the procedure for obtaining the answer value based on the indexing table. First, a question “Sleep 1. Get up at almost a fixed time every day” is displayed on the display as a question about sleep. Respondents looked at this question and asked them to answer their own questions from the standard answers: “That ’s right,” “That ’s right,” “That ’s right,” “That ’s different.” Touch the button display of the corresponding answer “if anything,” and input the answer. Based on the input answer and the indexing table held in advance in the apparatus, the answer value “3” associated with the question 1 and the answer “if anything” is selected. The answer “if anything,” input through the above steps, is automatically converted to the answer value “3”, and the answer value acquisition unit can acquire the answer value.

  If the answer is input in a free answer system such as a free-style sentence, the keyword and its score are determined in advance, and the cumulative score is calculated according to the appearance frequency and appearance rate of the keyword in the input sentence The score may be used as an index.

  This method will be described with reference to a specific example in FIG. This figure shows the display of the spirit posture value measuring device, the keyword table held in the device, and the procedure for obtaining the answer value based on the keyword table. First, the respondent inputs an answer to the question on the display using an input device such as a keyboard in a free-style sentence. Here's an answer to the question, “Please fill in what you feel about your recent sleep.” The respondent said, “Recently busy at work and late at night to go home. I tend to be late, and I am often tired, so I often fall asleep during work. " The device searches and extracts a keyword from the input answer text based on a keyword table stored in the device in advance, and determines the answer value associated with the keyword on the table according to the appearance of the keyword. The answer value is obtained by counting. That is, in the sentence of the answer, three keywords “sleep time + insufficient * sleep shortage (+ = and, * = or)”, “sleeping”, and “morning + lateness” are extracted as corresponding keywords by searching. Is done. The total score obtained by adding the scores in the table corresponding to each extracted keyword is the answer value. That is, in this figure, the total score 3 is the answer value, and the answer acquisition unit can achieve the purpose by acquiring this numerical value.

  As a method of obtaining an answer or an answer value, it may be possible to provide entertainment such as improving the game characteristics by making a question or answer a quiz format. Respondents can answer while having fun without feeling painful, which leads to repeatability (habituation) of the measurement. Since the present invention needs to perform measurement several times, the improvement of repeatability also contributes to the object of the invention.

  The indexing of answers in the spirit posture measuring device is performed by, for example, calling up a program for indexing answers on the memory, and the CPU stores the program on the memory and a storage medium such as a hard disk. This is realized by processing data.

  The second method is a method in which an answer value obtained by a person converting in advance using an answer value conversion table or the like is directly input to an answer value acquisition unit via an input device such as a keyboard.

  FIG. 6 illustrates this method with a specific example. In this figure, the energy posture answer sheet regarding sleep (upper diagram) and the display (lower diagram) of the energy posture value measuring device are shown. First, respondents start by answering according to the questions and annotations written on the spirit posture value answer sheet. Here, “For the following questions 1 to 4,“ if yes ”, 5 if“ substantially ”, 3 if“ somewhat ”, 3“ Enter 2 if it is different, or 1 if it is completely different. ”And“ Question 1. I try to get up at almost the same time every day ”,“ Question 2. I am putting sunlight in the daytime, ”Q3. “No.”, “Question 4. I dropped my proof before going to bed and I went to bed after I got sleepy”. Based on the annotations, the respondent responds by entering “3, 4, 2, 3”, which are numerical values corresponding to the questions 1 to 4 concerning sleep, respectively. Here, the spirit posture value answer sheet is an answer value conversion table, and the numerical values “3, 4, 2, 3” are the answer values for the respective questions. That is, the respondent converts the answer value by answering as a numerical value in accordance with the annotation. Subsequently, the respondent inputs the converted answer value into the apparatus using a keyboard or the like according to an instruction displayed on the display of the spirit posture value measuring apparatus. The answer value input by the answer obtaining unit can be obtained through the above steps.

  It should be noted that different indexing functions may be given to each question by weighting for conversion to the answer value. For example, in the case of a question about eating habits, if “eating three meals in the morning, noon, and evening” has a greater impact on health than “eating slowly and eating,” the former answer score is doubled. The index may be calculated.

  The “answer value history holding unit” (0202) is configured to hold the history of acquired answer values for each respondent.

  The “answer value history” corresponds to the answer value history acquired so far by the answer value acquisition unit, the measurement date of the answer, the cumulative number of measurements, and the like. The answer value history holding unit holds an answer value history for each answerer. The method of classifying the response values at each measurement opportunity for each respondent is, for example, personal information such as respondent's name, address, date of birth, etc., or personal registration number assigned to each respondent at the first measurement Based on the above. The answer value history holding unit can be implemented by a magnetic storage device such as a hard disk, a non-volatile memory, or a storage medium such as an optical recording medium.

  The “evaluation table holding unit” (0203) is configured to hold an evaluation table in which an evaluation value is determined according to the answer value history.

  The “evaluation value” is a numerical value acquired based on a comparison of answer values for two identical items in time series selected from the answer value history of the same respondent or the same question. That is, it is a numerical value for objectively evaluating the respondent's attitude toward health. The two selected answer values on the time series may be any answer values held in the answer value history. For example, two answer values held adjacent in the history may be used, or answer values that are not adjacent in the history may be used. Two answer values can be selected by the respondent. The evaluation value is arranged on the next evaluation table and acquired by a method described later.

  The “evaluation table” is a table in which an evaluation value is determined according to the response value history, and is held in the evaluation table holding unit.

  The method for obtaining the evaluation value on the evaluation table is not particularly limited as long as the transition between the two selected answer values can be evaluated. Hereinafter, a method for obtaining an evaluation value in defining an evaluation table will be described with a specific example.

    (Example of evaluation value acquisition method)

(1) Method for Acquiring from Answer Difference Value Between Two Selected Answer Values The evaluation value obtaining method may be an answer difference value between two selected answer values. For example, as a premise for obtaining the answer difference value, first, the question is a content that actively maintains and promotes health, and the answer value y that indexes the answer is 1 to 5 as shown in FIG. Let it be represented. Here, it is assumed that the two answer values selected from the answer value history are y _A and y _B (A and B are the numbers and are arbitrary natural numbers, where A ≠ B), and y _A is newer than y _B If it is an answer value, the answer difference value Δy between the two answer values can be expressed by the following equation 1.
Δy = y _A −y _B (1)
Therefore, the evaluation table created based on Equation 1 is represented by Table 1 below.

  According to the evaluation values in the evaluation table shown in Table 1, if the evaluation value is positive, it indicates that the respondent is in a healthy posture from the B-th measurement to the A-th measurement. The health status of respondents has been improved. Conversely, a negative value indicates that the respondent is in an unhealthy posture from the Bth measurement to the Ath measurement, and it can be said that the respondent's health has declined. If the evaluation value is 0, it can be said that the functional state at the time of the B-th measurement is maintained for good or bad.

The two answer values y _A and y _B may be adjacent answer values on the answer value history. In this case, y _A and y _B can be represented by y _n and y _n−1 (n is the number of measurements, a natural number of 2 or more), and thus Δy in the previous equation 1 is represented by the following equation 2. The
Δy = y _n −y _n−1 (2)

(2) The method evaluation table acquired from the answer difference value and the answer value that generated the difference value is an answer difference value between two (two points) answer values selected from a plurality of opportunities on the time series. The table may be an evaluation value assigned according to the answer value that generated the difference value. For example, based on the evaluation value acquisition method of (1) above, among the answer values y represented by 1 to 5, the case where y = 1, 2 is a non-healthy region, and y = 3,4, 5 is the health The area is At this time, in the response values y _A and y _B , Δy> 0 when y _B = 1, 2 and Δy ≧ 0 when y _B = 3, 4. , Y _B = 5, it is evidence that the respondent is taking a positive and positive attitude if he / she keeps the lifestyle in y _A so that Δy <0 is not satisfied. Health may be maintained and improved. Therefore, the evaluation values shown in Table 1 are corrected in consideration of the above factors. When the corrected evaluation value is expressed by g, g is defined as follows, when Δy = 0, when Δy> 0, and when Δy <0.

(A) If the [Delta] y = 0 For _{y B = 1: g = -4} ·················· ( Equation 3)
This is a case where both y _A and y _B have a minimum response value of 1. In other words, this means that no positive and positive attitude toward the health status of the respondent is recognized. Therefore, a heavy penalty is imposed on such posture.
When y _B = 2: g = −2 (Equation 4)
This is a case of answer value 2 where both y _A and y _B are unhealthy lifestyle habits. This means that positive and positive efforts towards the health status of respondents are still unacceptable. Therefore, a slight penalty is imposed on the attitude.
When y _B ≧ 3: g = y _B −2 (Equation 5)

Formula 3, or 4, or 5, taking the case where y _A is not taking healthy lifestyle evaluation value score a negative value of (y A ₌ 1,2), also healthy behaviors In the case (y _A = 3, 4, 5), the evaluation value score is a positive value corresponding to the degree.

(B) When Δy> 0 When y _B ≦ 2: g = (y _B −3) + (Δy + 2)
= (Y _B + Δy) -3 + 2
= Y _A -1 (Equation 6)
When y _B ≧ 3: g = y _B −2 + Δy
= (Y _B + Δy) −2
= Y _A -2 (7)

According to Expression 6 or 7, when Δy is a positive value, the evaluation value score increases as the value of y _A increases.

However, if in Formula 6 _{y A = 1: g = -4} ·················· ( Equation 8)
And This is evaluating that became the lowest answer value 1 in the y _A is Whatever the answer value y _B, in chronological order new answer value. In other words, the fact that the new answer value in time series is the lowest answer value 1 means that the respondent has not made any positive and positive efforts toward health. A heavy penalty is imposed on such a posture.

(C) When Δy <0 When y _A = 1: Same as the above equation 8 When y _A = 2: g = Δy−1 (Equation 9 )
When y _B ≧ 3: g = Δy (Equation 10)

It is obtained by correcting the following equation 10 with respect to the 2 shifts to a non-health by the formula 9, y _B in health and was despite y _A. In other words, it imposes a slight penalty for respondents' failure to make positive and positive efforts toward health.

  Expression 10 uses the answer difference value as an evaluation value, and the smaller the answer difference value is, the less the answerer evaluates that he / she does not make positive and positive efforts toward health.

The evaluation table of g created based on the above Equation 3 to Equation 10 can be represented by the following Table 2.

  According to the evaluation values in the evaluation table shown in Table 2, if the evaluation value is positive, it indicates that the respondent is taking a positive and positive attitude toward health. It can be said that there is a strong possibility that the health condition from the B-th measurement to the A-th measurement is maintained and improved. Conversely, if it is a negative value, it can be said that the health condition of the respondent from the Bth measurement to the Ath measurement is decreasing.

  The evaluation table holding unit can be implemented by a magnetic storage device such as a hard disk, a nonvolatile memory, or a storage medium such as an optical recording medium.

  “Energetic posture value acquisition unit” (0204) is configured to acquire an energetic posture value that is an evaluation value obtained by evaluating the response value history according to the evaluation table. That is, in the spirit posture value acquisition unit, two specific response values are acquired from the response value history storage unit, and the two evaluation values are acquired from the evaluation table storage unit. By applying it, it is possible to acquire a target spirit posture value.

  For the acquisition of the energy posture value in the energy posture value acquisition unit, for example, a program for acquiring the energy posture value from the response value history data and the response value stored in a storage medium such as a hard disk is called on the memory, This is realized by the CPU processing the program on the memory and the data of the evaluation table stored in a storage medium such as a hard disk.

  “Energetic posture” is a positive and positive change in behavior to maintain and improve one's health. A healthy posture is judged from a comparison of the functional states of two biological points in time series. For example, even if it is in a healthy state at a certain measurement time point, if it seems to have declined compared to the functional state of the living body at a past measurement time point, the spirit posture is retreated. On the other hand, even if it cannot be said that it is sufficiently healthy at a certain measurement point, if it seems to have improved compared with the functional state of the living body at the past measurement point, the spirit posture is improved. It becomes. In other words, respondents are led to a proactive attitude toward health by trying to maintain and improve the spirit.

  “Energetic posture value” is an evaluation value obtained by evaluating an answer value history according to an evaluation table, and is a numerical value for objectively evaluating the spirit posture. That is, the spirit posture value is acquired by selecting an evaluation value corresponding to two answer values selected from the answer value history based on the evaluation table. The evaluation table for acquiring the spirit posture value may be based on any evaluation value acquisition method. From the viewpoint that it is easier for the respondent to easily grasp that his / her own lifestyle is maintaining and improving his / her health, it is more preferable that the evaluation value acquired from Table 2 is the spirit posture value.

It is preferable to calculate an average value of the spirit posture value for each classification item. This is because the “average spirit posture value” obtained by averaging the spirit posture values for the questions included in the same classification item is convenient for comprehensively evaluating the biological function information of the item. The average spirit posture value is obtained by dividing the sum of the spirit posture values in each classification item by the number of questions. That is, according to the example of the evaluation value acquisition method, the number of questions in each classification item is n _q (n _q is a natural number), and the energy posture value in each classification item is Δy (n _q ) or g (n _q ). The average spirit posture value m can be expressed by the following expression 11 or 12 according to the above-described evaluation value acquisition method example.
m = (1 / n _q ) ΣΔy (n _q ) (Formula 11)
m = (1 / n _q ) Σg (n _q ) (Formula 12)

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining an example of the average spirit posture value. The spirit posture value shown in this figure is displayed as an evaluation value g acquired from the evaluation value table of Table 2. As for the average spirit posture value of each classification item on April 8, “dietary life” is m = 0.92, “breathing” is m = 2.3, and “sleep” is m = −0.75. From this result, it can be seen that the healthy posture is taken from March 8th, which is the previous measurement value for “Eating Habits” and “Respiration”, where the posture values are positive values. Is unhealthy and has an unbalanced overall.

  For obtaining the average spirit posture, for example, the program of Equation 12 is called on the memory, and the CPU stores the program on the memory and the energy posture value data in each classification item stored in a storage medium such as a hard disk. This is realized by arithmetic processing.

  The energy attitude value acquired by the energy attitude value acquisition unit or the average energy attitude value (hereinafter referred to as “energy attitude value etc.”) can be output in various forms. A specific example of an output form such as an energetic posture value is given below.

    (Form that outputs the energy posture value etc.)

  This is a format in which the acquired spirit posture value or the like is output without being processed. That is, if the spirit posture value or the like is shown in the range of -4 to 4 excluding 0, the numerical value itself is output.

  The spirit posture value and the like are merely numerical values, but if the respondent is a negative numerical value, it is possible to grasp that his / her lifestyle has a non-healthy posture. As a result, the next time you will be conscious of improving your lifestyle so that it will be positive. Also, if it is a positive value, it will aim to further improve lifestyle habits so that the next time it will be a larger value. Therefore, the object of the present invention can be achieved even if there is a format that outputs the spirit posture value and the like as they are.

    (Format to output the energy posture values etc.)

  This is a format in which the energy posture value and the like are converted into a graphic based on the acquired energy posture value and the like. Here, “figuration” is to convert the acquired spirit posture value or the like into an icon or a figure corresponding to the numerical value.

  FIG. 9 is an example in which the energy posture value is converted into an icon or a graphic. As shown in this figure, if it is an icon, a face icon corresponding to the energy posture value is output, and if it is a graphic, an arrow whose direction, length, or size is changed according to the value of the energy posture value, color, and size are displayed. Output the changed circle.

  For example, the attitude posture measuring device holds the graphing table in advance, and is stored in the graphing table according to the energy posture value acquired by the energy posture value acquisition unit. For example, a method of outputting a corresponding figure can be used.

  Since this output format can capture a spirit posture value or the like as a visual image, it is more easily stored in memory than an inorganic value. Moreover, if it shows with an icon etc., it will become conscious of improving a lifestyle habit so that it may display a better icon next like a game, and it contributes to the objective of this invention. It is also possible to output a numerical value such as an energetic posture value together with the energetic posture value and the like that are made into a graphic.

    (Format to output spirit posture evaluation information)

  This is a format for outputting energy posture evaluation information based on the acquired energy posture value and the like. Here, “Energetic Posture Evaluation Information” is information that evaluates the current lifestyle of respondents as determined from their energetic posture values, etc., and is useful for contributing to health maintenance and promotion and improving lifestyle Information. For example, when the average spirit posture value in the item of sleep is −2, information that calls attention such as “It seems unhealthy regarding sleep. The spirit posture evaluation information may be more specific information. For example, in the sleep item, if only the energy posture value for the question “I am putting sunlight in the daytime in the daytime” is low, and the energy posture value of other questions is relatively high, “the room is dark “After opening, first open the curtain and let the room take more sunlight into the room.”

  In addition, if the question is about lifestyle habits that contribute to health maintenance and promotion, the energy posture evaluation information is information such as “Let's execute with awareness of what is written in the question” Also good. The energy posture evaluation information may be output as a result of comprehensive determination of all measurement items, or may be output as a determination result for each classification item or for each individual question.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the display of spirit posture evaluation information. As shown in this figure, when the average spirit posture value of the question about eating habits is a negative value in the spirit posture value acquired from the previous answer value and the current answer value, the energy posture measurement of this embodiment is performed. The device commented on the display etc .: “The spiritual attitude about eating habits is lower than the last time. Please keep in mind that you will be aware of the contents written in the food questions. Please do your best to maintain this spirit posture in the future. ”(1001) etc. may be displayed.

  The method for outputting the energy posture evaluation information is, for example, that the energy posture measurement device holds the energy posture evaluation information table in advance, and the corresponding energy posture information stored in the energy posture evaluation information table according to the acquired energy posture value or the like. For example, a method of outputting posture evaluation information.

  The energy attitude value and the like can grasp the current lifestyle of the self, but it is not possible for the respondent to know what kind of behavior will be the ideal lifestyle in the future. In such a case, it is more helpful and convenient for the respondent if it is possible to obtain energetic posture evaluation information as future advice in consideration of the result of the current lifestyle in this output format. In addition, you may output a healthy posture value etc. (1002) with a healthy posture evaluation information.

    (When energetic posture values are output in time series)

  This is a format in which a plurality of acquired posture attitude values and the like are output in time series based on a history of answer values that generated those posture attitude values and the like. The energy posture value itself includes a temporal element, but only changes in behavior in the functional state of two living organisms on the answer value history can be seen. Therefore, it is possible to grasp the transition of the energy posture values and the like by outputting a plurality of energy posture values and the like in time series. By seeing such changes in the posture values, etc., the respondent can be aware of the movement of his / her own posture in a certain period without being overwhelmed by a single measurement result. The effect of spirit posture is continuous and appears only after a certain period of time. In other words, the true spirit posture cannot be judged from short-term results, and it cannot be understood unless it is viewed after a certain period of time. In this sense, it can be said that outputting the spirit posture value and the like in time series conforms to the object of the present invention.

  As a method for outputting the energetic posture values and the like in time series, it is desirable to output the energetic posture values and the like acquired from each of the consecutive answer values in the answer value history along the time series of the answer value history. This is because the energy posture value or the like acquired from the continuous answer values more accurately reflects the transition of the energy posture or the like during that period. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the posture value is obtained from each adjacent month by acquiring the answer value using the spirit posture measuring device of the present invention on a predetermined day every month for one year. By outputting this in time series such as 0101 and 0103, it is possible to immediately recognize the efforts to the spirit posture of the year and the manifestation of the effect.

  There is no particular limitation on the output format for outputting the energy posture values and the like in time series as long as the temporal transition of the energy posture values and the like can be grasped. For example, a numerical value itself such as an energetic posture value (0101), or a graphic representation of an energetic posture value or the like may be arranged in time series and output in a graph (0103). From the viewpoint of being easy for the respondent to visually grasp, it is preferable to output it in a graph. In graphing, for example, a graph (0103) obtained by plotting the energy posture value at each measurement opportunity on the graph with the history of the energy posture value on the horizontal axis and the value of the energy posture value or the like on the vertical axis is output. do it.

  The energy attitude value or the average energy attitude value acquired by the energy attitude value acquisition unit can be displayed to the respondent by, for example, outputting it to a display or printing it out with a printer.

    (About the energy posture measuring device)

  The number of respondents using the spirit posture measuring device is not limited. It may be used alone or by multiple people. However, in the case of using by a plurality of people, it is necessary to hold the answer value history for each answerer as described above.

  The form of the spirit posture measuring device is not particularly limited as long as the function of the device can be achieved. For example, it may be a fixed computer installed in a home PC or a hospital, or may be a portable electronic device such as a mobile phone or a PDA (personal digital assistant). In particular, since mobile phones are now widely used in the general public, mobile phones incorporating this device are convenient. Since a mobile phone is normally carried around, it can easily perform measurement without selecting a place or time, and it is easy to obtain repeatability of measurement, which is in accordance with the object of the present invention.

For example, in this figure, “3” is input as a response value from a keyboard not shown. Subsequently, the input data is stored with a predetermined address in the answer value holding unit of the storage medium. In this figure, input data “3” is stored with an address “a3”. The evaluation table is input in advance from the interface, and is stored with a predetermined address in the evaluation table holding unit of the storage medium. In this figure, the data of the two-point evaluation table in Table 1 with the address b1 and Table 2 with the address b2 are stored in the storage medium. Here, a response value acquisition program (not shown) for acquiring the response value by the CPU is called on the main memory, and the CPU further calls the response value and the evaluation table stored in the storage medium on the main memory. In addition to the program not shown in this figure, two answer values a2: -1 and a3: 3 and an evaluation table b1: Table 2 are called from the storage medium to the main memory by the CPU. These data are subjected to arithmetic processing by the CPU based on a program on the main memory, so that a target spirit posture value can be acquired from the evaluation table.

  <Process flow>

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of a process flow in the spirit posture measuring apparatus of the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, first, an answer value obtained by indexing each answer to a question for each classification item for evaluating the functional state of a living body is obtained (S0901: answer value obtaining step). Next, the acquired response value history is recorded for each respondent (S0902: response value history recording step). Finally, a spirit posture value that is an evaluation value obtained by evaluating the answer value history according to the evaluation table is acquired (S0903: spirit posture value acquisition step).

  Then, the energy posture value, which is the result obtained in the energy posture value acquisition step, is displayed on a display or the like together with evaluation advice for the result as necessary, printed on a printer, or sent to the terminal via a network. Or send.
