- transmitting, from the user terminal to the health data generation apparatus, a function inquiry for inquiring about functions of the health data generation apparatus;
transmitting, from the health data generation apparatus to the user terminal, upon receiving the function inquiry, a function response containing function type information indicating the types of the plural functions;
displaying, at the user terminal, the functions of the health data generation apparatus based on the function type information contained in the received function response, thereby prompting a user to designate one of the functions, and transmitting the designated function as the function designation information to the health data generation apparatus;
transmitting, from the health data generation apparatus to the user terminal, parameter specifying information specifying types of parameters necessary for generating the health data that will be generated by the function designated by the received function designation information;
generating registration information including the function designation information and individual data of the user associated with each other by prompting, at the user terminal, the user to input the individual data for the types of parameters specified by the received parameter specifying information, the registration information then being stored in the storage device;
transmitting, from the user terminal to the health data generation apparatus, an execution request containing the registration information after reading the registration information from the storage device in a case in which an operation input for measuring a health condition is performed by the user; and
generating, upon receiving the execution request containing the registration information from the user terminal, health data corresponding to the function designated by the function designation information included in the registration information based on the human subject index information of the user and the individual data included in the registration information.

Abstract
A health data generation system has a measuring apparatus and a user terminal. The measuring apparatus transmits to the user terminal function type information indicating function of the measuring apparatus. The user terminal selects a desired function based on the received function type information and transmits the selected function as function designation information to measuring apparatus. The measuring apparatus transmits to the user terminal parameter specifying information designating the types of parameters necessary for performing the function specified by the function designation information. The user terminal prompts a user to input individual data to the parameters and registers the individual data together with the function designation information as registration information R.
