Abstract

A health management system for displaying, on a screen, information based on vital data obtained from a subject includes: a vital data storage unit storing vital data history; a priority level information storage unit storing information specifying a priority level for each of additional information items; a receiving unit receiving an operation of defining a first region and a second region in the screen; a selecting unit selecting an additional information item to be displayed, based on the priority level information and a size of each of the first and second region; and a display unit displaying (i) the vital data history obtained for a predetermined period and (ii) on a position related to the second region when the operation is received, additional information of the selected additional information item which is related to the vital data history obtained for the period corresponding to the first region.

Claims

1. A health management system for displaying, on a screen, information based on vital data successively obtained from a predetermined subject, the health management system comprising:

a vital data storage unit configured to store vital data history in which the vital data is associated with a time at which the vital data is obtained;

a priority level information storage unit configured to store priority level information specifying a priority level for each of a plurality of additional information items;

a receiving unit configured to receive an operation of defining a first region and a second region in the screen;

a selecting unit configured to select an additional information item to be displayed, based on the priority level information and a size of each of the first region and the second region for which the operation of defining is received by the receiving unit; and

a display unit configured to (i) display, on the screen, the vital data history obtained for a predetermined period and (ii) display, on a position related to the second region when the operation of defining is received by the receiving unit, additional information of the additional information item which is selected by the selecting unit and is related to the vital data history obtained for a part of the predetermined period corresponding to the first region.

2. The health management system according to claim 1,

wherein the selecting unit is configured to select the additional information item to be displayed, based on the priority level information according to one of ratios that is a proportion of the size of the second region to the size of the first region, and

the priority level information is information indicating an association between the additional information items and the ratios.

3. The health management system according to claim 2,

wherein, when the operation of defining is received by the receiving unit, the display unit is configured to display the additional information in the second region, and

the selecting unit is configured to select more additional information items as the one of ratios increases.

4. The health management system according to claim 3,

wherein the display unit is configured to determine a display form for the additional information according to the size of the second region, and display the additional information in the determined display form.

5. The health management system according to claim 3,

wherein the selecting unit is configured to select the additional information item to be displayed, based on the priority level information according also to the size of the second region.

6. The health management system according to claim 3,

wherein the display unit is configured to (i) display the vital data history obtained for the predetermined period in a graph form, and (ii) when the operation of defining is received by the receiving unit, enlarge and display in the second region the vital data history in the graph form at the one of ratios that is the proportion.

7. The health management system according to claim 2, further comprising

an analysis unit configured to calculate analysis information of the additional information item selected by the selecting unit, based on the vital data history obtained for a part corresponding to the first region,

wherein the additional information displayed by the display unit includes the analysis information calculated by the analysis unit.

8. The health management system according to claim 2, comprising

a management apparatus which manages the vital data history and a subject terminal which obtains the vital data from the subject, the management apparatus and the subject terminal being capable of communicating with each other,

wherein the subject terminal includes the screen, the receiving unit, and the display unit.

9. The health management system according to claim 8,

wherein the management apparatus is capable of communicating with an instructor terminal used for inputting instruction information for the subject by an instructor who has referred to the vital data history and includes an instruction information storage unit configured to store the instruction information obtained from the instructor terminal, and

the additional information displayed by the display unit includes the instruction information stored in the instruction information storage unit.

10. The health management system according to claim 9,

wherein the priority level information stored in the priority level information storage unit is updatable by the instructor terminal.

11. A terminal device for displaying, on a screen, information based on vital data successively obtained from a subject, the terminal device comprising:

a vital data storage unit configured to store vital data history in which the vital data is associated with a time at which the vital data is obtained;

a priority level information storage unit configured to store priority level information specifying a priority level for each of a plurality of additional information items;

a receiving unit configured to receive an operation of defining a first region and a second region in the screen;

a selecting unit configured to select an additional information item to be displayed, based on the priority level information and a size of each of the first region and the second region for which the operation of defining is received by the receiving unit; and

a display unit configured to (i) display, on the screen, the vital data history obtained for a predetermined period and (ii) display, on a position related to the second region when the operation of defining is received by the receiving unit, additional information of the additional information item which is selected by the selecting unit and is related to the vital data history obtained for a part of the predetermined period corresponding to the first region.

12. A display method for displaying, on a screen of a terminal device, information based on vital data successively obtained from a subject, the display method comprising:

storing vital data history in which the vital data is associated with a time at which the vital data is obtained;

displaying the vital data history obtained for a predetermined period on the screen;

obtaining priority level information specifying a priority level for each of a plurality of additional information items;

receiving an operation of defining a first region and a second region in the screen;

selecting an additional information item to be displayed, based on the priority level information and a size of each of the first region and the second region for which the operation of defining is received; and

displaying, on a position related to the second region, additional information of the additional information item which is selected and is related to the vital data history obtained for a part of the predetermined period corresponding to the first region.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for use in a terminal device having a processor, the recording medium having a control program recorded thereon for causing the terminal device to execute display processing of displaying information on a screen, based on vital data successively obtained from a subject, the display processing including:

storing vital data history in which the vital data is associated with a time at which the vital data is obtained;

displaying the vital data history obtained for a predetermined period on the screen;

obtaining priority level information specifying a priority level for each of a plurality of additional information items;

receiving an operation of defining a first region and a second region in the screen;
