Description

The helping method of diet with a game}

The present invention relates to a diet aid method, and more specifically, to present a limited calorie and appropriate food to the user through a mobile phone and a computer, and to check the amount of food and activity per day to play the game according to the result It is about dietary supplements in parallel.

Recently, due to excessive food intake due to the change in diet, almost all age groups are showing interest in diet in relation to obesity and beauty. However, a diet that simply reduces food is more likely to harm your health, and if you don't eat it, the calories aren't lost forever, but they're replenished in some form, making it impossible.

In addition, there is an obesity clinic that combines diet and exercise therapy, but it is difficult for the general public to use because it is economically, temporally and spatially restricted.

In order to solve this problem, a service for providing information on a diet through a wireless Internet, a mobile phone, and a computer has appeared. Specifically, there are forms such as a diet recipe service, a diet information service, a diet check service, and a diet news service. The Diet Recipes service includes Today's Cuisine, This Week's Diet, Themed Dishes, Recipes, all of which provide an existing diet, recipes for foods, recipes to lower calories in terms of diet, and calorie analysis of these foods. It is done. The diet information service presents calorie information and exercise information to suggest relative low-calorie foods and suggests exercise and calories burned to help with weight loss. The Diet Check Service provides a service that analyzes constitution and health age by checking based on several questions such as obesity, stress, and lifestyle. The diet news service collects and analyzes articles on diets that have been issued in the form of health columns. There are also textbooks explaining common sense, complications and treatments for obesity (dietary, drug, exercise, herbal, topical, tea and diet).

However, since these services are mostly edited and exported in various diet-related books, it is difficult to attract consumers' attention, and because they are simple presentations such as obesity check service or calorie analysis, they are not attracting continuous attention. Fragmented dietary common sense also does not help a systematic diet.

On the other hand, there is a service that prepares a diet for a day or a week by calculating a predetermined calorie and nutrients in advance by a more professional method, but in this case, the diet is achieved only by eating only the food and the amount of the proposed diet. It is impractical for the average person who lives socially by losing.

In addition, commercial diet programs and nutrition judgment programs are expensive for individuals to purchase and use expensive programs, and the general person who has no nutritional knowledge learns how to use them.

In order to supplement the above problems, there is a need for a system and method that can cause a user's continued interest in a diet at the same time as specific and systematic information related to the diet.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a service that can be easily used by the general subscriber diet program using a mobile phone and a computer.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a game that can check the results visually as the day progresses in connection with the process of boring and difficult diet to enjoy a more interesting and persistent diet.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a service that manages the food it eats at that time immediately during the day, unlike the passive diet program that follows the diet presented by calculation in advance.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a step of connecting to a diet server, inputting user's information, diet period and user's characteristics, limiting daily intake calories and nutrients by the program, according to the user's needs Searching calories of food and recommending food, inputting the amount of food and activity consumed on the day, comparing / determining the target amount and intake calculated according to the information input by the user and proceeding with the game program Diet aid method to merge with the game, which includes the steps.

The game for achieving the above object compares the target amount and the intake amount and displays the change of the growth, growth and insect graphics of the flora and fauna according to the comparison value.

The diet aid method in parallel with the game to achieve the above object may further include a nutrient control program for patients who need to control nutrients, such as the amount of sugar and salt, such as diabetes, hypertension, as well as weight control using a diet. Can be.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram of a system for assisting the diet according to the present invention.

The system for assisting the diet according to the present invention includes a web browser 11 such as a computer for receiving the service information of the user, communication equipment 12 such as a modem required for communication, and a web server of an administrator for providing a service. (13) and the Internet system connecting them with each other. The web server includes a homepage 14 created by an administrator, a CGI 15, a game program unit 16 in which a game program is embedded, a user management DB 17 for managing user information, and a diet for storing and managing diet related information. Related information DB 18 is included.

In addition, the present system is a wireless communication system through a personal mobile phone 19, PCS 20, an Internet phone (hereinafter referred to as a mobile phone) and a wireless communication company so that a user can receive information by wire as well as wireless. 21) may be further included. Since the mobile phone is portable, a diet program can be used at that time.

2 is a flowchart of a method for assisting a diet according to the present invention.

The user connects to the diet server and logs in (21, 22). The service can be operated on a membership or non-member basis. The user inputs the basic information of the user in order to calculate the necessary information by the diet program (33). For example, you can name or alias, gender, age, height, weight, and so on. In addition, the diet period is set, and the characteristics of the user are input (34 and 35). The diet period can be freely set to 1 month, 3 months, and the like, and the user's characteristics can be checked by dividing the user's characteristics into classifications based on the amount of activity, classifications due to constitution, and classification of the disease. The activity can be classified into mild activity, moderate activity, severe activity, and intense activity. The constitution may be classified according to the degree of obesity (overweight, normal, underweight, etc.) in consideration of gender, height, and weight. In addition, the classification for the disease can be checked for diabetes, hypertension and the like. The program calculates and presents the limited calories and nutrients to be consumed per day in consideration of the information, duration and characteristics of the user (age, height, weight and gender, etc.) (36). In addition, the user may search for the calories of the food and the recommended food according to the user's need (37). When the user checks the amount of food consumed per day and the amount of activity per day (38, 39), the program compares the intake and the target amount by the program (40) and presents the amount of exercise if necessary with the warning text (41). In connection with the transmission of the game progress (42, 43). This continues during the diet period, checking day by day, and overlapping portions may be replaced by the first input.

In the game program, the calorie and calories of the ingested food may be summed and displayed using a graphic. It can graphically display calories, nutrients and future calories summed up, taking the form of gauges in traditional games that accumulate in the energy store in combat entertainment games. In addition, it is possible to game the process of growing and changing day by day by assigning fruits with 12 graphic designs according to the user's selection or the user's basic information. More specifically, if the diet cycle is 1 month, the fruit seeds appear on the monitor on the first day and then graphically show the growth of the shaped fruits for the next 30 days by the diet result compared with the target amount. That is, if the calorie of the target amount is not exceeded, the diet of the day is successful, the seeds will sprout, and if the calories are not exceeded for 30 days, the fruit will have an open tree. On the other hand, using the graphic of the larvae, larvae and eggs, if the nutrients, such as proteins, vitamins and calcium, which are essential for the daily growth of the body, do not meet the recommended amount or consume excess calories compared to the dietary target, the insect or You can have eggs. That is, on the day when the necessary nutrients are not ingested, the eggs become larvae in two days, and when the five larvae gather, they become king larvae.

In order to run the program, the calories based on 100g of food and the amount of protein, calcium, and vitamins (sugars, sodium) are stored in advance, and the nutrients of the input food are summed and exceeded according to age and gender. If you show the amount of exercise and do not exceed the specified value by 24 hours, the picture of the fruit does not go to the next step.

The input of the ingested food may be selected and clicked by using the page down function of the food list or by typing the food name in the input window.

The classification of the food system and the data of the recommended nutritional recommendation are based on scientific and objective data according to the food analysis table of "The 6th Amendment of Korean Nutrition Recommendations" presented by the Korean Nutrition Society.

The nutrition determination program may use a commercially available program.

In addition, the program can control the sugar and salt of the diabetic or hypertensive patients, as well as the weight control diet, a mobile phone and a computer.

Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the use of the program to assist the diet according to the present invention will be described.

The weight control diet program is designed based on basic data such as protein, calcium, and vitamins, which are essential for food calories and growth, so as not to exceed the limited calories and to lack essential nutrients. If you enter your basics on your phone and want to lose 1 kilogram a week, you can set your daily intake, protein, vitamins and minerals, and display them on your monitor. The calorie of body fat is calculated to be 7700 kilocalories per kilogram (kcal) to reduce the intake of 1100 kilocalories per day to lose one kilogram of weight per week. Therefore, after calculating the calorie ingested using the current body weight and presenting a calorie reduced intake of 1100 kilocalories. When a user eats food, the user inputs the type and amount of food in the mobile phone, and the amount of calories and protein ingested is summed to display the amount of nutrients that can be ingested in the future.

In the case of diabetic glycemic control diet program, according to the dietary guidelines of diabetics should avoid ingesting more than 300g of sugar and ingestion of less than 100g should cause about 200 ~ 300g per day because it causes ketoneosis and falls into shock. In this way, when the sugar content of the food is additionally input to the data, the patient himself can adjust the concentration of the sugar. In this case, calories are also limited to 25 to 30 kilocalories per kilogram of standard weight, and protein is set to 1 to 1.5 grams per kilogram of weight.

In the sodium-controlled diet program for hypertensive patients, the addition of cholesterol and sodium in food may limit the intake of cholesterol and salt. The intake of sodium in patients with blood pressure can be limited to severe (extension blood pressure DBP 115mmHg or more) to unsalted (500 mg or less sodium). It can be limited to low salt (less than 2000 mg of sodium) (normally systolic blood pressure SBP 120mmHg, diastolic blood pressure DBP 80mmHg).

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using an Example, this invention is not limited to a specific Example. Those skilled in the art will understand that many modifications and variations are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention, and the scope of the invention should be defined by the appended claims.

According to the present invention of the above-described configuration, avoiding a diet hungry unconditionally adolescents do a lot, and achieve the desired purpose of the user without harming the health with an appropriate diet in consideration of gender, age, constitution and essential nutrients can do.

In addition, it is possible to always be provided with information by using a widely distributed mobile phone.

On the other hand, according to the present invention of the above configuration, by incorporating the game into the diet, it is possible to promote the effect of being able to check the current state of interest and continued interest in the diet by inducing interest.
