  • Patent number: 10251609
    Abstract: Devices and systems are provided to determine the condition of a subject comprehensively on the basis of a measurement result of a body water meter. The body water meter measures the amount of water in a subject's body and includes direction means and output means. The direction means, when water amount data is acquired through the measurement of the amount of water, directs a server that manages data regarding living body information on the subject to search for another piece of data acquired through measurement of living body information on the subject other than the amount of water and that satisfies a predetermined measurement condition. The output means outputs a message indicating the condition of the subject which is determined on the basis of the water amount data and the other piece of data on the subject received in response to the direction from the direction means.

  • Publication number: 20150111183
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus is disclosed having a storage unit storing a plurality of training text items each including a word, a word string, or a sentence. The information processing apparatus presents a training text item among the plurality of training text items stored in the storage unit as voice output or character string display and calculates the speaking speed based on a voice signal that is input after presenting the training text item. The information processing apparatus compares the calculated speaking speed with a preset target speaking speed and reports the comparison result.
