Abstract

An information processing device includes: a user information acquisition unit which acquires first information, second information, and third information about a user; a correlation information acquisition unit which acquires correlation information representing a relation between the first information, the second information, and the third information; an initial value setting unit which sets an initial value of the first information, the second information, and the third information; a fixing designation unit which designate fixing of the first information; a change designation unit which designates change of the second information; and an update unit which updates the third information on the basis of the correlation information.

Claims

1. An information processing device for graphically updating progress and a prediction of weight loss or body fat loss of a user, comprising:

a display unit; and

a processor comprising;

a user information acquisition unit which acquires;

first information comprising a first target period,

second information comprising a first current weight of the user or a first current body fat of the user, and

third information comprising a heart rate zone staying time acquired from a pulse wave sensor;

a correlation information acquisition unit which acquires correlation information representing a relation between heart rate zone staying time and amount of body fat lost per a unit of time;

a prediction module which generates a prediction line of user body weight or user body fat over the first target period from the first current weight or the first current body fat to a target weight or a target body fat using the first information, the second information, the third information and the correlation information, and outputs the prediction line to be displayed as a first line on a graph on the display unit;

a change designation unit which designates change of the second information from the first current weight or the first current body fat to a second current weight or a second current body fat;

an update unit which updates the first information from the first target period to a second target period on the basis of the correlation information; and

a progress module which generate a progress line of user body weight or user body fat from the first current weight or first current body fat to the second current weight or second current body fat, and outputs the progress line to be displayed as a second line on the graph on the display unit;

wherein the prediction module generates a second prediction line of user body weight or user body fat over the second target period from the second current weight or second current body fat to a second target weight or a second target body fat using the first information, the second information, the third information and the correlation information, and outputs the second prediction line to be displayed as a third line on the graph on the display unit.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising a communication unit,

wherein the correlation information acquisition unit acquires the correlation information from the communication unit.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising a fixing designation unit which designates fixing of the target weight or target body fat generated by the prediction module.

4. A method for graphically updating progress and a prediction of weight loss or body fat loss of a user, comprising:

acquiring user information with a processor, the user information comprising;

first information comprising a first target period,

second information comprising a first current weight of the user or a first current body fat of the user, and

third information comprising a heart rate zone staying time acquired from a pulse wave sensor;

acquiring correlation information, with a correlation information acquisition unit of the processor, wherein the correlation information represents a relation between heart rate zone staying time and amount of body fat lost per a unit of time;

generating, with a prediction module of the processor, a prediction line of user body weight or user body fat over the first target period from the first current weight or the first current body fat to a target weight or a target body fat using the first information, the second information, the third information and the correlation information, and outputting the prediction line to be displayed as a first line on a graph on the display unit;

designating, with a change designation unit of the processor, a change of the second information from the first current weight or the first current body fat to a second current weight or a second current body fat;

updating, with an update unit of the processor, the first information from the first target period to a second target period on the basis of the correlation information; and

generating, with a progress module of the processor, a progress line of user body weight or user body fat from the first current weight or first current body fat to the second current weight or second current body fat, and outputting the progress line to be displayed as a second line on the graph on the display unit;

wherein the prediction module generates a second prediction line of user body weight or user body fat over the second target period from the second current weight or second current body fat to a second target weight or a second target body fat using the first information, the second information, the third information and the correlation information, and outputs the second prediction line to be displayed as a third line on the graph on the display unit.

5. The method according to claim 4, further comprising:

acquiring, with the information acquisition unit, the correlation information from a communication unit.

6. The method according to claim 4, further comprising:

designating fixing of the target weight or target body fat generated by the prediction module with a fixing designation unit of the processor.

7. A system for graphically updating progress and a prediction of weight loss or body fat loss of a user, comprising:

one or more processors configured for;

acquiring user information, the user information comprising;

first information comprising a first target period,

second information comprising a first current weight of the user or a first current body fat of the user, and

third information comprising a heart rate zone staying time acquired from a pulse wave sensor;

acquiring correlation information, wherein the correlation information represents a relation between heart rate zone staying time and amount of body fat lost per a unit of time;

generating a prediction line of user body weight or user body fat over the first target period from the first current weight or the first current body fat to a target weight or a target body fat using the first information, the second information, the third information and the correlation information, and outputting the prediction line to be displayed as a first line on a graph on a display unit;

designating a change of the second information from the first current weight or the first current body fat to a second current weight or a second current body fat;

updating the first information from the first target period to a second target period on the basis of the correlation information;

generating a progress line of user body weight or user body fat from the first current weight or first current body fat to the second current weight or second current body fat, and outputting the progress line to be displayed as a second line on the graph on the display unit; and

generating a second prediction line of user body weight or user body fat over the second target period from the second current weight or second current body fat to a second target weight or a second target body fat using the first information, the second information, the third information and the correlation information, and outputs the second prediction line to be displayed as a third line on the graph on the display unit.
