  • Publication number: 20160100826
    Abstract: A predicted menstruation start date calculation apparatus includes a date information acquisition unit that acquires a number of menstrual cycle days and a number of high temperature phase days over multiple menstrual cycles of a woman, a type classification unit that performs classification into a specific type indicating that the number of menstrual cycle days is unstable and the number of high temperature phase days is stable, and into one or more types other than the specific type, and a calculation unit that calculates the predicted menstruation start date based on the classification by the type classification unit.

  • Publication number: 20140285491
    Abstract: A display control device that provides a display that supports and empowers body weight reduction includes a receiver configured to receive measurement data and zone data, the measurement data including a measured physical status value of a user and a corresponding measurement date, the zone data representing an upper limit value and a lower limit value of a physical status value for target achievement of the weight reduction, and a display unit configured to display an image. The display unit is configured to display a graph and a zone image in a same screen in association with each other, the graph representing a time-series change in the measured physical status value from the measurement data, the zone image representing a time-series change in the upper and lower limit values from the zone data.

  • Publication number: 20120302843
    Abstract: A health management support system includes: a unit that receives two or more types of physical information measured by a user along with measurement time data; an analyzing unit for analyzing the relationship between the received two or more types of physical information in accordance with a predetermined rule; an advice generating unit that generates advice based on a result of the analysis; and an advice output unit that outputs the generated advice. The analyzing unit has a knowledge file that stores the predetermined rule, and an engine unit for executing the analysis. The advice generating unit generates the advice for notifying the user of a goal achievement level by analyzing the two or more types of physical information measured in a first predetermined period.

  • Publication number: 20100229078
    Abstract: The content display control apparatus (1) reproduces moving image content in which captions and video images are correlated with each other by time stamps, thereby causing a display apparatus (5) to display the captions and the video images. In the reproduction, a caption display section (3) causes the display apparatus (5) to display the captions contained in the moving image content. On the other hand, a video image display section (4) causes the display apparatus (5) to display, in sync with that timing when the captions are displayed which is determined by the caption display section (3), the video images correlated with the captions. The content display control apparatus (1) thus reproduces the moving image content on the basis of the captions, thereby allowing a user to efficiently grasp contents of the moving image.
