Abstract:
1. A health data generation apparatus provided with plural functions of generating plural types of health data serving as indices of health conditions and to communicate with a user terminal operated by a user, the health data generation apparatus comprising: a communication unit that communicates with a user terminal that is portable with respect to the health data generation apparatus; a human subject index measurer that measures conditions of a human subject and outputs the measured conditions as human subject index information; a function storage device that stores function type information indicating types of the plural functions and parameter specifying information specifying types of parameters relating to characteristics of the human subject, the parameters being used for generation of one of the plural types of health data corresponding to the one of the plural functions, wherein the plural functions generate health data including at least one of body weight, body fat percentage, visceral fat, body water mass, bone mass, and basal metabolism; a function responder that, upon receiving, from the user terminal, via the communication unit, a function inquiry that inquires about a function of the health data generation apparatus, reads the function type information from the function storage device and transmits, via the communication unit, a function response to the user terminal, the function response containing the function type information for the plural types of functions; a parameter responder that, upon receiving, from the user terminal via the communication unit, function designation information that designates one of the plural types of functions of the health data generation apparatus, reads, from the function storage device, the parameter specifying information corresponding to the function designated in the function designation information and transmits, via the communication unit, a parameter response containing the parameter specifying information to the user terminal; a health data generator that, upon receiving from the user terminal, via the communication unit, an execution request containing registration information that includes the function designation information and individual data, with the execution request instructing generation of health data corresponding to the function designated by the function designation information and with the individual data corresponding to the parameter specifying information, generates the health data by executing a predetermined computation based on the human subject index information measured by the human subject index measurer and the individual data included in the registration information.
