Abstract

A variation measurement device for a physical activity includes a display element that displays a variation amount of a weight data from a benchmark of the weight data, which varies depending on the physical activity of the measurement subject.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A variation measurement device for a physical activity, comprising:
a weight measurement element that weighs a measurement subject and determines a weight a corresponding a weight data and a measurement time for said measurement subject; a weight data memory element stores in a weight data memory said weight data in association with each said measurement time that constitutes each said weight of a measurement subject, which is measured multiple times by said weight measurement element between a beginning of a predetermined physical activity of said measurement subject and an end of said predetermined physical activity; a control element that acquires a variation amount of each respective said weight data, that are a difference between a benchmark weight data that is specified among said weight data that are stored in said weight data memory element and a weight data other than said benchmark weight data; and a display element that displays said variation amounts that vary depending on said predetermined physical activity, wherein said variation amount are acquired by said control element based on said benchmark of said weight data of said measurement subject.

2 . The variation measurement device for physical activity, according to claim 1 , wherein:
said display element displays said variation amounts based on a decreasing amount of a measured weight between the beginning and the end of a physical exercise that is said predetermined physical activities.

3 . The variation measurement device for physical activity, according to claim 1 , wherein:
said control element fits said variation amounts from said benchmark to at least one of an approximate straight line and an approximate curve by a regression analysis, and displays a graph denoting a time-course variation of a plurality of said weight data based on at least one of said approximate straight line and said approximate curve that are acquired by said display element.

4 . The variation measurement device for physical activity, according to claim 3 , wherein
said control element estimates a time period in which said variation amount of said weight data attains an expected variation amount based on at least one of said approximate straight line and said approximate curve acquired by said fitting, and displays said time period on said display element.

5 . The variation measurement device for a physical activity, according to claim 3 , wherein:
said control element displays said variation amount of said weight data, that is converted to a per unit time, on said display element based on at least one of said approximate straight line and said approximate curve acquired by said fitting.

6 . A display method of a variation for a physical activity, comprising:
a step of measuring a weight of a measurement subject multiple times between a beginning of a predetermined physical activity of said measurement subject and an end of said predetermined physical activity; a step of storing a weight data of each said weight that is measured multiple times in association with each measurement time; a step of acquiring a variation amount of said each said weight data, that is a difference between a benchmark weight data that is specified among said weight data that are stored and said weight data other than said benchmark weight data; and a step of displaying said variation amounts that vary depending on said predetermined physical activity, wherein said variation amount is acquired based on said benchmark weight of said weight data of said measurement subject.

7 . The display method of said variation for said physical activity, according to claim 6 , wherein:
the step of displaying said variation amount of the weight based on a decrease amount of a measured weight between the beginning, and the end of a physical exercise that is one of said predetermined physical activities.
