Abstract: A server acquires, in a first predetermined period, first data in which excretion related data of a user, acquired by an excretion sensor installed in a toilet, and a user ID for identifying the user are associated with each other, generates a reference database indicating an excretion tendency of the user on the basis of the acquired first data, acquires, in a second predetermined period, second data in which excretion related data of the user, acquired by the excretion sensor installed in the toilet, and the user ID are associated with each other, generates alert information for the user on the basis of the reference database and the second data, and outputs the generated alert information.

Abstract: A notification device includes: an image data acquisition part that acquires image data captured by a camera which is provided to photograph buttocks of a user sitting on a toilet seat; a sitting position detection part that detects a sitting position of the user sitting on the toilet seat provided on a toilet by image recognition of the image data; and a guidance information output part that outputs, on the basis of the detected sitting position, guidance information to guide the user to an appropriate sitting position.

Abstract: A urination analysis device that analyzes urination performs: acquiring image data captured by a camera which is located at a toilet to photograph a bowl of the toilet; calculating a urination pixel number being the number of pixels of an image showing urination from the image data when the urination by a user is detected by image recognition of the image data; calculating, on the basis of a change in the urination pixel number, a flow momentum value of the urination, a urine quantity, and a urine specific gravity; and outputting the flow momentum value, the urine quantity, and the urine specific gravity.

Abstract: An excrement determination device acquires image data of excrement captured by a camera which is provided to photograph an inner part of a bowl of a toilet, calculates a G/R value and a B/R value on the basis of an R (red) value, a G (green) value, and a B (blue) value each included in the image data, determines, on the basis of the G/R value and the B/R value, whether the image data includes an image of at least one of urine, feces, and blood, and outputs a result of the determination.

Abstract: An excrement determination device performs: acquiring image data captured by a camera which is located at a toilet provided in a toilet room to photograph a bowl of the toilet; acquiring sensing data from a sensor that detects sitting and leaving of a user onto and from the toilet; deciding whether to validate or invalidate the image data on the basis of a change in the sensing data; determining, on the basis of image data decided to be valid, an occurrence of at least one of defecation and urination; and outputting a result of the determination.

Abstract: An output device includes: an acquisition part that acquires a first image covering excrement captured by a camera to photograph an inside of a bowl of a toilet; a dividing part that divides the acquired first image into a plurality of divisional areas; a calculation part that calculates an area representative value including a representative value of each of the color components of each of the divisional areas; and an output part that outputs the calculated area representative value.

Abstract: An output device performs: acquiring a plurality of images chronologically captured by a camera located to photograph an inside of a bowl of a toilet; extracting, from the acquired images, an excrement image showing excrement; extracting, from the acquired images, a blood image showing a blood spot; determining, based on time information about the excrement image, an excretion start time; determining, based on time information about the blood image, a blood appearance start time, and determining, based on the blood image, a blood size indicating a size of the blood spot; generating, as excretion information, information including the excretion start time, the blood appearance start time, and the blood size; and outputting the generated excretion information.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a program memory (4, 40) and circuitry for switching mapping schemes so as to deal with both direct and bank mapping schemes without alteration of programs. The program memory (4) includes a first memory area (14, 15) formed of a plurality of memory blocks for storing a first program (100) for the bank mapping and a second memory area (16, 17) utilized as a memory block for storing a second program for direct mapping. In the bank mapping, each memory block is mapped into a same address area of an address space of the processor. In the direct mapping, the first and second memory areas are mapped in one-to-one correspondence into the address space. Alternative program memory (40) includes a first memory block (50) storing a first program and a second memory block (60) storing a second program. A predetermined identification information ("JA") is stored in a predetermined memory location of the second memory block.
