Abstract

Provided is an ingesta administration device (1) which includes a consumed energy amount obtaining portion (2); an intake energy amount obtaining portion (12); an administration amount determining portion; and an ejection portion (4) for ejecting ingesta such as insulin based on administration amount determined by the administration amount determining portion. The consumed energy amount obtaining portion (2) obtains information on consumed energy amount based on information on exercise amount of the user. The intake energy amount obtaining portion (12) obtains information on amount of energy to be ingested by the user. The determination portion determines administration amount of the ingesta based on at least the information obtained by the consumed energy amount obtaining portion on amount of energy consumed by the user since previous administration until current administration and the information obtained by the intake energy amount obtaining portion on the amount of energy to be ingested after current administration.

Claims

1. An ingesta administration device for administering ingesta to a user through an ejection orifice of an ejection portion having the ejection orifice and an ejection energy generating element for ejecting the ingesta, which comprises:

a consumed energy amount obtaining portion for obtaining information on an amount of energy consumed by a user;

an intake energy amount obtaining portion for obtaining information on an amount of energy to be ingested by the user; and

a determination portion for determining a administration amount of the ingesta based on at least the information obtained on the amount of energy consumed by the user and the information obtained on the amount of energy to be ingested by the user,

wherein the ejection energy generating element is driven so as to eject the ingesta in an amount corresponding to the administration amount determined by the determination portion.

2. The ingesta administration device according to claim 1, wherein the determination portion determines the administration amount of the ingesta based on information on an amount of energy consumed by the user since the previous administration of the ingesta until the current administration of the ingesta and information on an amount of energy to be ingested by the user after the current administration.

3. The ingesta administration device according to claim 1, wherein the consumed energy amount obtaining portion comprises an exercise amount measuring portion for measuring an exercise amount of the user.

4. The ingesta administration device according to claim 3, wherein the exercise amount measuring portion is attachable to and detachable from a body of the device.

5. The ingesta administration device according to claim 1, wherein the consumed energy amount obtaining portion comprises an input portion through which the user inputs information on an exercise amount.

6. The ingesta administration device according to claim 3, wherein the consumed energy amount obtaining portion comprises a calculation portion for calculating a consumed energy amount based on an information on the exercise amount obtained through one of the exercise amount measuring portion and the input portion.

7. The ingesta administration device according to claim 6, wherein the calculation portion calculates the consumed energy amount based on the information on the exercise amount obtained through one of the exercise amount measuring portion and the input portion while giving consideration to basal metabolism of the user.

8. The ingesta administration device according to claim 1, wherein the intake energy amount obtaining portion comprises an input portion through which the user inputs information on an item to be ingested and a calculation portion for calculating an intake energy amount based on the input information.

9. The ingesta administration device according to claim 1, wherein the ingesta comprises insulin.

10. The ingesta administration device according to claim 1, wherein the ejection energy generating element is prohibited from being driven after ejecting the ingesta in an amount corresponding to the administration amount determined by the determination portion.

13. The ingesta administration device according to claim 4, wherein the determination portion determines the administration amount of the ingesta based on information on an amount of energy consumed by the user since the previous administration of the ingesta until the current administration of the ingesta and information on an amount of energy to be ingested by the user after the current administration.

14. The ingesta administration device according to claim 2, wherein the consumed energy amount obtaining portion comprises an exercise amount measuring portion for measuring an exercise amount of the user.

15. The ingesta administration device according to claim 3, wherein the consumed energy amount obtaining portion comprises a calculation portion for calculating a consumed energy amount based on an information on the exercise amount obtained through one of the exercise amount measuring portion and the input portion.

16. The ingesta administration device according to claim 14, wherein the consumed energy amount obtaining portion comprises a calculation portion for calculating a consumed energy amount based on an information on the exercise amount obtained through one of the exercise amount measuring portion and the input portion.

17. The ingesta administration device according to claim 5, wherein the consumed energy amount obtaining portion comprises a calculation portion for calculating a consumed energy amount based on an information on the exercise amount obtained through one of the exercise amount measuring portion and the input portion.

11. An ingesta administration method of administrating ingesta to a user comprising:

obtaining information on an amount of energy consumed by a user;

obtaining information on an amount of energy to be ingested by the user;

determining a administration amount of the ingesta based on at least the information obtained on the amount of energy consumed by the user and the information obtained on the amount of energy to be ingested by the user; and

driving an ejection energy generating element to eject the ingesta through an ejection orifice in an amount corresponding to the determined administration amount.

12. The ingesta administration method according to claim 11, wherein the administration amount of the ingesta is determined based on information on an amount of energy consumed by the user since the previous administration of the ingesta until the current administration of the ingesta and information on an amount of energy to be ingested after the current administration.
