  • Publication number: 20160120461
    Abstract: An information processing system 100 includes an information acquiring unit 110 that performs acquisition processing for information, a processing unit 120 that performs processing on the basis of the acquired information, and an output processing unit 130 that performs output processing for information created by the processing unit 120. The information acquiring unit 110 performs the acquisition processing for at least two kinds of information among staying time information, body information, and target information concerning a weight loss. The processing unit 120 creates advice information concerning the weight loss on the basis of a relational expression representing a relation between fluctuation in body weight or a body fat amount and the staying time information and the at least two kinds of information. The output processing unit 130 performs the output processing for the advice information.

  • Publication number: 20110118987
    Abstract: A predictive blood sugar level calculating device acquires meal information about meal intake, calorie consumption information about calorie consumption, pulse information, and the like, calculates predictive blood sugar level change curves indicating change in blood sugar levels based on the plurality of information in a time series using predetermined numerical formulas, and combines the predictive blood sugar level change curves, thereby reducing an error between the calculated predictive blood sugar level curve and an actual change in a blood sugar level occurring in a human body.
