Abstract

The present invention provides a calorie consumption assistance system for assisting user'"'"'s calorie consumption so that the user'"'"'s calorie consumption in a certain time period can more efficiently reach a target amount. A calorie consumption assistance system (1) according to the present invention includes an information terminal device (2) including calorie consumption amount determining means for determining a calorie consumption amount consumed by a user in a certain period and target amount deciding means for deciding a target amount of calorie consumption in the certain time period; a sever device (4) including content selecting means for selecting an exercise assistance content suitable for a difference between the calorie consumption amount thus determined and the target amount thus decided; and a display device (3) including display means for displaying the exercise assistance content thus selected.

Claims

1. A calorie consumption assistance system, comprising:

a portable terminal device including an activity amount sensor for detecting intensity of user'"'"'s exercise, and calorie consumption amount determining means for determining, based on a result of detection of the activity amount sensor, a calorie consumption amount consumed by a user in a certain period and target amount deciding means for deciding a target amount of calorie consumption in the certain time period;

a server device including content selecting means for selecting an exercise assistance content suitable for a difference between the calorie consumption amount thus determined and the target amount thus decided, the exercise assistance content expressing an exercise for assisting user'"'"'s calorie consumption; and

a display device including display means for displaying the exercise assistance content thus selected.

2. A calorie consumption assistance system as set forth in claim 1, comprising:

candidate content selecting means for selecting at least one exercise assistance content suitable for the difference, the at least one exercise assistance content being a candidate of the exercise assistance content that is to be selected by the content selecting means;

the display means displaying each brief information of the at least one exercise assistance content selected by the candidate content selecting means, and

the content selecting means selecting an exercise assistance content of brief information designated by the user from the each brief information thus displayed.

3. A calorie consumption assistance system as set forth in claim 1, wherein:

the display means displays the calorie consumption amount of every certain time period and an assisted calorie consumption amount of every certain time period, the assisted calorie consumption amount being a calorie consumption consumed by performing the exercise assistance content selected by the content selecting means.

4. A calorie consumption assistance system as set forth in claim 1, wherein:

the content selecting means performing the selection of the exercise assistance content suitable for the difference by selecting, from among a plurality of exercise assistance stored in a database, the exercise assistance content in reference with each assisted calorie consumption amount of the plurality of exercise assistance content,

the database storing the plurality of exercise assistance contents in association with the assisted calorie consumption amounts of the plurality of exercise assistance content, each assisted calorie consumption amount of an exercise assistance content being a calorie consumption consumed by performing the exercise assistance content.

5. A calorie consumption assistance system as set forth in claim 1, comprising:

body information setting means for setting body information of the user,

the content selecting means performing the selection of the exercise assistance content suitable for the difference by selecting, from among a plurality of exercise assistance stored in a database, the exercise assistance content in reference with the body information of the user, intensity information of exercises of the plurality of exercise assistance contents and exercise durations of the exercises,

the database storing the plurality of exercise assistance contents in association with the intensity information of exercises of the plurality of exercise assistance contents and the exercise durations of the exercises.

7. A calorie consumption assistance program for operating a computer provided to a calorie consumption assistance system as set forth in claim 1, the calorie consumption assistance program causing the computer to function as the means.

8. A computer-readable recording medium in which a calorie consumption assistance program as set forth in claim 7 is stored.

6. A calorie consumption assistance system, comprising:

calorie consumption amount determining means for determining a calorie consumption amount consumed by a user in a certain period;

target amount deciding means for deciding a target amount of calorie consumption in the certain time period;

content selecting means for selecting an exercise assistance content suitable for a difference between the calorie consumption amount thus determined and the target amount thus decided, the exercise assistance content expressing an exercise for assisting user'"'"'s calorie consumption;

display means for displaying the exercise assistance content thus selected; and

body information setting means for setting body information of the user,

the content selecting means performing the selection of the exercise assistance content suitable for the difference by selecting, from among a plurality of exercise assistance stored in a database, the exercise assistance content in reference with the body information of the user, intensity information of exercises of the plurality of exercise assistance contents and exercise durations of the exercises,
