Claim Text:
1. A urine component analysis device for determining an excretion amount of a specific component in total urine excreted by a subject in one day, the urine component analysis device comprising: a housing; a display section mounted and stored in the housing; a sensor that is attached to the housing so as to project from one end of the housing; a correlation storage section comprising a non-transitory memory, mounted in the housing, which stores data indicating a correlation between a concentration of the specific component in one urine excreted by a human and a concentration of the specific component in total urine in one day when all the urine excreted by the human in the one day is gathered into one volume; a total urine amount acquirement section, executed by a processor mounted in the housing, which acquires a total amount of urine excreted by the subject in one day based on conversion or a database; a data input section, mounted in the housing, which receives data acquired by the sensor and indicating a concentration of the specific component in one urine excreted by the subject; a first calculation section comprising a processor, mounted in the housing, that is programmed with instructions to determine a concentration of the specific component in total urine in one day when all the urine excreted by the subject in the one day is gathered into one volume, by performing conversion using the correlation stored in the correlation storage section, based on the concentration of the specific component in the one urine of the subject obtained via the data input section; and a second calculation section executed by the processor, mounted in the housing, that is also programmed with instructions to calculate an excretion amount of the specific component in the total urine of the subject in the one day by multiplying the concentration of the specific component in the total urine in the one day, which is determined by the first calculation section, by the total urine amount in the one day acquired by the total urine amount acquirement section, wherein the display section provides a notification of the excretion amount of the specific component calculated by the second calculation section.
