Abstract

A server selects one of a predetermined display specification programs based on at least one of attribute information related to an attribute of the user, purpose information related to a usage purpose of the user, and measurement data of the user input from a communication terminal capable of exchanging data with a body composition measuring instrument. The selected display specification program is transferred to the body composition measuring instrument via the communication terminal. As a result, the display specification program of the body composition measuring instrument is updated.

Claims

1. A body composition display system comprising:

a body composition measuring instrument including a measuring section for measuring two or more types of body compositions of a user; and

a server including

a first storage section for storing a plurality of predetermined display specification programs related to a specification of display of measurement results in the body composition measuring instrument,

a selection control section for performing a control to select one of the predetermined display specification programs based on at least one of attribute information related to an attribute of the user, purpose information related to a usage purpose of the user, and measurement data of the user input from a communication terminal capable of exchanging data with the body composition measuring instrument, and

a transmitting section for transmitting the display specification program selected by the selection control section to the communication terminal via a communication network as data of the selected program.

2. The body composition display system according to claim 1, wherein the body composition measuring instrument further includes,

an input/output section for receiving input of the data of the selected program via the communication terminal,

a second storage section for storing the input selected program,

a display control unit controlling display of the measurement result of a specific body composition of the two or more types of body compositions based on the selected program stored in the second storage section, and

a display section for displaying according to an output from the display control unit.

3. The body composition display system according to claim 1, wherein the communication terminal includes,

a receiving section for receiving the data of the selected program via the communication network,

a second storage section for storing the input selected program,

an input/output section for receiving input of the measurement data of the two or more types of body compositions from the body composition measuring instrument,

a display control unit controlling display of the measurement result of a specific body composition of the two or more types of body compositions based on the selected program stored in the second storage section, and

a display section for displaying according to an output from the display control unit.

4. The body composition display system according to claim 2 or 3, wherein

the first storage section stores each of the predetermined display specification program in correspondence to a plurality of attributes;

and

the selection control section selects the display specification program corresponded to the attribute of the user indicated by the attribute information when the attribute information is input from the communication terminal.

5. The body composition display system according to claim 2 or 3, wherein

the first storage section stores each of the predetermined display specification program in correspondence to a plurality of usage purposes;

and

the selection control section selects the display specification program corresponded to the usage purpose of the user indicated by the purpose information when the purpose information is input from the communication terminal.

6. The body composition display system according to claim 2, wherein

the body composition measuring instrument further includes a third storage section for storing the measurement data of the two or more types of body compositions measured by the measuring section;

the input/output section outputs the measurement data stored in the third storage section to the communication terminal; and

the selection control section includes,

an analyzing unit for analyzing the measurement data when the measurement data is input from the communication terminal, and

a selecting unit for selecting the display specification program based on the analysis result of the analyzing unit.

7. The body composition display system according to claim 3, wherein

the communication terminal further includes a third storage section for storing the input measurement data of the two or more types of body compositions;

and

the selection control section includes,

an analyzing unit for analyzing the measurement data when the measurement data is input from the communication terminal, and

a selecting unit for selecting the display specification program based on the analysis result by the analyzing unit.

8. A body composition measuring instrument comprising:

measuring sections for measuring two or more types of body compositions;

a storage section for storing a first display specification program related to specification of display of measurement results by the measuring section;

a display control unit for performing a control to display the measurement result of a specific body composition of the two or more types of body compositions being measurement results by the measuring section based on the first display specification program;

a display section for displaying according to an output from the display control unit;

an input section for receiving input of data of a second display specification program; and

an updating section for updating the first display specification program stored in the storage section to the second display specification program.

9. A communication terminal comprising:

an input/output section for receiving input of measurement data of two or more types of body compositions from a body composition measuring instrument;

a storage section for storing a first display specification program related to specification of display of the measurement result of two or more types of body composition;

a display control unit for performing a control to display the measurement result of a specific body composition of the two or more types of body compositions based on the first display specification program;

a display section for displaying according to an output from the display control unit;

a receiving section for receiving data of a second display specification program; and

an updating section for updating the first display specification program stored in the storage section to the second display specification program.

10. A server configured for performing a process of causing a communication terminal capable of exchanging data with a body composition measuring instrument for measuring two or more types of body compositions to display a measurement result in the body composition measuring instrument;

the server comprising;

a storage section for storing a plurality of predetermined display specification programs related to a specification of display of measurement results in the body composition measuring instrument;
