As shown in FIG. 3, when the user presses the power key 8 to turn on the biometric information acquisition apparatus 1, the control apparatus 16 first performs an initialization process for the entire biometric information acquisition apparatus 1 in step S1. Do. By this initialization process, data temporarily stored in the storage device 14 when the previous control process is executed, a timer count value, and the like are initialized.
[0024]
Next, when the user presses any of the personal keys 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, the control device 16 determines whether or not personal data corresponding to the pressed personal key is stored in the storage device 14 in step S2. Judgment is made. If personal data is stored, after the personal data is read in step S3, the personal data is selected in step S4 as options for confirmation by the user (for example, “Yes” and “No” ]) And displayed on the display device 5. Next, when the user performs a selection operation to affirm the displayed personal data by operating the selection keys 6a and 6b and the determination key 6c of the input device 6 in step S5, the process proceeds to step S12. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2 that no personal data is stored in the storage device 14, and if the user performs a selection operation to deny the displayed personal data in step S5, the process proceeds to step S6. .
[0025]
In step S6, the control device 16 displays a message prompting the user to input gender on the display device 5. When the user operates the input device 6 to input gender, the control device 16 proceeds to step S7. In step S7, a message prompting the user to input the age is displayed on the display device 5. When the user operates the input device 6 to input the age, the process proceeds to step S8. Note that this age may be configured to input the age such as 20's, 30's, middle age, old age, etc. In step S8, a message prompting the user to input his / her height is displayed on the display device 5.

In step S9, the gender, age, and height of the user input by the control process from step S6 to step S8 are displayed on the display device 5 together with options for confirmation by the user, as in step S4. Next, when the user performs a selection operation to affirm the displayed gender, age, and height by operating the input device 6 in step S10, the process proceeds to step S11, and the displayed gender, age, and height are changed. Is stored in the storage device 14 as personal data corresponding to the personal key pressed by the user, and then the process proceeds to step S12. On the other hand, if the user performs a selection operation to deny the displayed gender, age, and height in step S10, the process returns to step S6.
[0026]
In step S12, the control device 16 causes the user to place the toe side of the left foot on the current supply electrode 3a, the heel side of the left foot on the voltage measurement electrode 4a, and the voltage measurement electrode 4a on the upper surface of the mounting base 2b. A message is displayed on the display device 5 urging the user to get in contact with the toe side on the current supply electrode 3a and the heel side of the right foot on the voltage measurement electrode 3b. Here, when the user gets on the upper surface of the platform 2b according to such a message, the control device 16 measures the weight of the user based on the voltage detected by the weight sensor 11.
[0027]
Next, in step S13, the control device 16 supplies an alternating current between the legs of the user from the current supply circuit 9 via the energizing electrodes 3a and 3b, and from the measurement electrodes 4a and 4b via the voltage measurement circuit 10. A voltage (potential difference) between both feet of the user is detected, and the bioelectric impedance of the user is measured based on Ohm's law from the supplied current value and the detected voltage value.
[0028]
Next, in step S14, the control device 16 converts the personal data read in step S3 or input in steps S6 to S8, the weight measured in step S12, and the bioelectrical impedance measured in step S13. Based on these, the calculation processing which calculates | requires a user's body fat rate and muscle mass by the predetermined regression formula given beforehand as a variable is performed. Such regression equation is not only for estimating and calculating body fat percentage (body fat mass) and muscle mass (muscle percentage), but also body moisture (body moisture percentage), bone mass, basal metabolic rate, BCM, etc. Various regression equations have already been developed for various biological information, and the regression equations corresponding to the biological information to be acquired can be used as appropriate. The body mass index is weight / height ² Calculate with
[0029]
Next, in step S15, the control device 16 displays the body fat percentage and muscle mass estimated in step S14 on the display device 5 as shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, the muscle mass is displayed on the upper stage of the display device 5, and the body fat percentage is displayed on the lower stage. Note that the user according to the display of FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 described later is a male who is 154 cm tall, 58 kg in weight, and 67 years old.
[0030]
Next, in step S <b> 16, the control device 16 reads a threshold value and a smooth curve used for graph display described later from the storage device 14.
[0031]
Here, in this embodiment, there are four threshold values, namely, threshold values Thal and Thal 2 related to the body fat percentage and threshold values Thb1 and Thb2 related to the muscle mass. It is predetermined that Th2 or higher means “obesity”, a threshold Thb1 or lower means “muscle loss”, and a threshold Thb2 or higher means “athlete”. And each threshold is young people (7 to 17 years old), young people (18 to 35 years), middle-aged people (36 to 59 years), elderly people (60 years and over) The control device 16 stores the age thresholds Tha1, Tha2, Thb1, Thb2 to which the user belongs based on the age of the user read in step S2 or input in step S7. Is to read.
[0032]
In addition to the above, the number and meaning of the threshold can be arbitrarily set. Moreover, the classification of the age may be a broader or more detailed classification, or may be classified by age. Alternatively, instead of (or in addition to) such a threshold value, an average value of body fat percentage and an average value of muscle mass are obtained in advance by age or age for a considerable number of subjects from young to elderly. It may be stored in the storage device 14 and read.
[0033]
On the other hand, the smooth curve plots the body fat percentage and muscle mass acquired from a considerable number of subjects from young people to seniors in advance in a graph area described later according to the same age as the threshold, and this is plotted for each age. Is a curve obtained by smoothing (young group: L1, youth group: L2, middle age group: L3, elderly group: L4). Each smooth curve is stored in the storage device 14 for each age, and the control device 16 reads the age of the user to which the user belongs based on the age of the user read in step S2 or input in step S7. The smooth curve L4 is read.
[0034]
In this embodiment, not only the smooth curve of the age to which the user belongs, but also the smooth curve of the age in which the body fat percentage and muscle mass of the user are close is read, making it easier to understand the graph display described later. It is supposed to be. Of course, this smooth curve can be prepared for each age as well as the threshold value and the average value.
[0035]
Next, in step S17, the control device 16 obtains the user's body fat percentage and muscle mass estimated and calculated in step S14, and the threshold value and smoothing curve according to the user's age read in step S16, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. That is, the body fat percentage and the muscle mass of the user are displayed as the intersection point P in the graph area 100 with the body fat percentage on the horizontal axis and the muscle mass on the vertical axis. In addition, threshold values Thal, Thal2, Thb1, Thb2 according to the age of the user are divided into nine regions A to I by dividing lines A1 (Thal), A2 (Thal2), B1 (Thb1), B2 It is displayed as (Thb2). And the smooth curve of the age to which a user belongs is displayed as L4. Further, as described above, the smooth curve L2 of the youth group and the smooth curve L3 of the middle-aged group are displayed as smooth curves in which the body fat percentage and muscle mass (intersection point P) of the user are close.
[0036]
Next, in step S <b> 18, the control device 16 reads comment information used for comment display described later from the storage device 14. Here, the comment information is stored in the storage device 14 in advance for each of the areas A to I divided by the dividing lines A1, A2, B1, and B2 and for the same age as the threshold and the smooth curve. The control device 16 reads the comment information corresponding to the age to which the user belongs and the region to which the body fat percentage and muscle mass of the user belong.
[0037]
Next, in step S19, the control device 16 displays the comment information read in step S18 as shown in FIG. Here, FIG. 6A is a display example for the 65-year-old elderly user described above. On the other hand, FIG. 6B is a display example when the user is a 25-year-old adolescent user while having the same body fat percentage and muscle mass as the elderly user. Thus, even if the estimated body fat percentage and muscle mass are the same value, a comment corresponding to the age (age group) of the user is displayed.
[0038]
The control device 16 automatically executes the display processing in steps S15, S17, and S19 for a predetermined time, and then automatically turns off the power and ends all control processing.
[0039]

Alternatively, the weight sensor 11 may be omitted from the main body 2 and the weight of the user may be input from the input device 6.
[0040]
Further, the electrodes for measuring the bioelectric impedance of the subject are not only those that are arranged on the upper surface of the main body 2 as in the muscle mass estimation device 1 and measure the bioelectric impedance between both feet of the subject. It is good also as what measures the bioelectrical impedance between both hands by having it in both right and left hands, or measures the bioelectrical impedance between limbs by providing a foot electrode and a hand electrode. In addition, the so-called 8-electrode system with both left and right foot electrodes and left and right hand electrodes is used to estimate body fat percentage and muscle mass by body part, such as the right arm, right leg, left arm, and left leg. It is also possible to calculate. Alternatively, the electrode for measuring the bioelectrical impedance of the subject may be provided with an electrode that contacts the subject's palm or fingertip on the case, assuming that the case itself corresponding to the main body 2 is small and portable. good. Furthermore, such an electrode may be configured to be affixed to the body surface, and the bioelectrical impedance may be measured between any body parts (for example, between the shoulder and the elbow, between the back of the knee and the heel). .
[0041]
In addition, the biometric information acquisition apparatus 1 uses the measured bioelectrical impedance to make not only the body fat percentage and muscle mass of the user, but also the body fat mass, muscle percentage, body moisture content, body moisture content, bone mass. In addition, any two types of various biological information such as basal metabolic rate and BCM may be obtained. Alternatively, any one of the above-mentioned various biological information is obtained, and the other one is MRI (magnetic resonance imaging apparatus), X-ray CT (computer tomography apparatus), DEXA (dual energy X-ray absorption measurement apparatus). Or the like may be input from the input device 6 separately measured by a known means. Alternatively, the weight sensor 11, the energization electrodes 3 a and 3 b, and the measurement electrodes 4 a and 4 b may be omitted, and any of the two types of biological information measured by a known method may be input from the input device 6.
