(3) Formula for Estimating the Amount of Vitamin D Generated In estimating the amount of vitamin D produced, the following formula can be used.

(Calculation formula)
Vitamin D production amount = production rate of vitamin D in the body by ultraviolet rays x effect of skin type x exposed skin area x exposure time of ultraviolet rays x UV attenuation rate of coating layer

Here, the ultraviolet attenuation rate of the coating layer can be derived based on the following equation.
UV attenuation rate of coating layer = index based on coating layer material = reciprocal of SPF value of coating layer material = 1 / SPF value of coating layer material

  The ultraviolet attenuation rate may be weighted by the thickness of the coating layer. When there is no coating layer, the ultraviolet attenuation rate of the coating layer can be 1. The SPF value is an index representing how many times the time until a red skin spot is formed when exposed to ultraviolet rays can be increased. When the sunscreen of SPF30 is used, it means that the time when red spots appear can be extended by 30 times. That is, it can be said that the ultraviolet attenuation rate is substantially the inverse of the SPF value.

  The numerical value based on the skin type effect can be set in advance from the skin type, or may be acquired by the data acquisition unit 42 via the communication network 70.

  Next, the accumulated amount of ultraviolet rays is calculated by the ultraviolet ray accumulation unit 30f (S22). Next, the ratio calculation unit 30g calculates the ratio of the cumulative value of the ultraviolet ray amount to the erythema ultraviolet ray amount (S23a).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the cumulative value of the ultraviolet ray amount has reached the erythema ultraviolet ray amount (S24a), and if the cumulative value of the ultraviolet ray amount has reached the erythema ultraviolet ray amount, the second notification unit 52b notifies that fact. (S25a). On the other hand, if the cumulative value of the amount of ultraviolet rays does not reach the amount of erythema ultraviolet rays, the second required time calculation unit 30i calculates the sunshine duration that will reach the amount of erythema ultraviolet rays.

  On the other hand, vitamin D is made when human skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays. Vitamin D rides in the bloodstream and becomes active vitamin D via the liver and kidneys, helping calcium absorption in the intestine. Moderate sunbathing is crucial for health promotion. With the appearance of the ozone hole in the southern hemisphere in the 1980s, the image that ultraviolet rays are bad is generally fixed.

  As a result, more than 70% of Japanese women including children and elderly people, especially young women, are said to be deficient in vitamin D, and bone health risks (for example, osteoporosis) are becoming a social problem. This is because when vitamin D is insufficient, calcium absorption from the intestine becomes insufficient. In order to improve health, it is necessary to take proper sunbathing and foods and supplements containing vitamin D. In other words, although it is harmful to be exposed to ultraviolet rays beyond the appropriate range, it is necessary to be exposed to the appropriate range of ultraviolet rays. It was found that it was possible to judge whether or not the amount of ultraviolet rays was exposed. In an actual life situation, it is difficult to recognize or visualize the appropriate amount of ultraviolet exposure, but according to the information processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, it is easy to know the appropriate amount of ultraviolet exposure. be able to.

  The above embodiment can be variously modified within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
