しかしながら、上記特許文献１に記載のものは、皮下脂肪厚データを表示するだけで、測定部位まで判るように表示するものではない。そのため、皮下脂肪厚と共に、測定部位を表示するものが要望されていた。   However, the device described in Patent Document 1 merely displays the subcutaneous fat thickness data, and does not display the measurement site. Therefore, there has been a demand for a device that displays the measurement site together with the subcutaneous fat thickness.

そこで、皮下脂肪厚データと共に、測定部位を表示できるようにした皮下脂肪厚測定装置が提案されている。このものは、測定部位ごとに設定された複数の測定開始ボタン（腹部測定開始ボタン、太もも又は腕測定開始ボタン等）を備えている。そして、被測定者がいずれかの測定開始ボタンを押圧操作することによって測定部位を特定する。これにより、皮下脂肪厚測定装置は、特定された測定部位の皮下脂肪厚測定データを生成し、その皮下脂肪厚測定データと共に、押圧操作されることによって特定された測定部位の名称を表示する。   Therefore, a subcutaneous fat thickness measurement apparatus has been proposed that can display a measurement site together with subcutaneous fat thickness data. This includes a plurality of measurement start buttons (abdomen measurement start button, thigh or arm measurement start button, etc.) set for each measurement site. And a to-be-measured person presses one of the measurement start buttons, and specifies a measurement part. Thereby, the subcutaneous fat thickness measuring device generates subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data of the specified measurement site, and displays the name of the measurement site specified by the pressing operation together with the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data.

しかし、被測定者が測定部位ごとに測定開始ボタンを確認し選択して押圧操作するのは被測定者にとって面倒なものである。又、被測定者が測定開始ボタンを間違って押圧操作してしまう場合もあるという問題点がある。   However, it is troublesome for the person to be measured that the person to be measured confirms, selects and presses the measurement start button for each measurement site. There is also a problem that the measurement subject may press the measurement start button by mistake.

本発明は、装置自ら測定部位を特定し、被測定者が測定部位ごとに測定部位を特定する必要のない皮下脂肪厚測定装置の提供を目的とする。   An object of the present invention is to provide a subcutaneous fat thickness measuring apparatus that specifies the measurement site itself and does not require the person to be measured to specify the measurement site for each measurement site.

前記課題を解決するために、本発明の請求項１は、発光部から身体の測定部位に出射された光を受光部によって受光することにより、その測定部位における皮下脂肪厚を測定する皮下脂肪厚測定装置であって、前記測定部位を特定する測定部位特定手段を備え、前記受光部は、第１受光部と、第２受光部とを備え、この第２受光部は、前記発光部からの距離がその発光部から前記第１受光部までの距離よりも大きくなるように配設され、前記測定部位特定手段は、前記第１受光部によって得られた第１受光量についての第１受光量データと第２受光部により得られた第２受光量についての第２受光量データとを対比し、その第１受光量が第２受光量よりも多いか否かに基づいて測定部位が第１設定部位であるか、又は第２設定部位であるかを判定し、その判定に基づいて測定部位を特定することを特徴とする皮下脂肪厚測定装置を提供する。   In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, claim 1 of the present invention provides a subcutaneous fat thickness for measuring the subcutaneous fat thickness at the measurement site by receiving light emitted from the light emitting unit to the measurement site of the body by the light receiving unit. The measuring device includes a measurement site specifying means for specifying the measurement site, the light receiving unit includes a first light receiving unit and a second light receiving unit, and the second light receiving unit is connected to the light emitting unit from the light emitting unit. The distance is larger than the distance from the light emitting part to the first light receiving part, and the measurement site specifying means is a first light receiving quantity with respect to the first light receiving quantity obtained by the first light receiving part. The data and the second received light amount data for the second received light amount obtained by the second light receiving unit are compared, and the measurement site is the first based on whether or not the first received light amount is larger than the second received light amount. Whether it is a setting part or a second setting part Constant and to provide a subcutaneous fat thickness measuring apparatus characterized by specifying the measurement site based on the determination.

請求項２は、請求項１に記載の前記第１設定部位は、身体における太もも又は腕とされ、前記第２設定部位は、身体における腹部とされ、前記測定部位特定手段は、前記第１受光量が第２受光量よりも多い場合に、測定部位が太もも又は腕であるとの判定を行い、その第１受光量が第２受光量よりも多くない場合に、測定部位が腹部であるとの判定を行うことを特徴とする皮下脂肪厚測定装置である。   According to a second aspect of the present invention, the first setting part according to the first aspect is a thigh or an arm in the body, the second setting part is an abdomen in the body, and the measurement part specifying unit is configured to receive the first light receiving part. When the amount is greater than the second received light amount, it is determined that the measurement site is a thigh or an arm, and when the first received light amount is not greater than the second received light amount, the measurement site is the abdomen It is a subcutaneous fat thickness measuring apparatus characterized by performing determination of.

請求項３は、請求項１又は２記載の前記皮下脂肪厚測定装置は、更に、前記第１受光量と第２受光量とに基づいて測定部位の皮下脂肪厚測定データを生成する測定データ生成手段を備えているとともに、前記測定部位特定手段によって特定した測定部位と前記測定データ生成手段によって生成されたその測定部位における皮下脂肪厚測定データとを夫々被測定者に判るように表示する表示部を備えていることを特徴とする皮下脂肪厚測定装置である。   According to a third aspect of the present invention, the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement apparatus according to the first or second aspect further generates measurement data of a subcutaneous fat thickness at a measurement site based on the first received light amount and the second received light amount. And a display unit for displaying the measurement site specified by the measurement site specification unit and the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data at the measurement site generated by the measurement data generation unit so that the measurement subject can understand the measurement site. A subcutaneous fat thickness measuring device.

請求項１によれば、測定部位特定手段は、第１受光量データと第２受光量データとを対比し、その第１受光量が第２受光量よりも多いか否かに基づいて測定部位が第１設定部位であるか、又は第２設定部位であるかを判定する。そして、その判定に基づいて測定部位を特定する。   According to claim 1, the measurement site specifying means compares the first received light amount data with the second received light amount data, and determines whether or not the measurement site is based on whether the first received light amount is greater than the second received light amount. Is a first set site or a second set site. And a measurement site | part is specified based on the determination.

こうすることにより、被測定者が予め測定する測定部位を特定して装置に入力等によって指示しなくても装置自ら測定部位を特定する。従って、例えば、測定する測定部位が異なる場合でも、同じ１つの測定開始操作部を操作すればよいものにできる。よって、従来のように測定部位ごとに測定開始ボタンを確認し選択して押圧操作する必要のないものにでき、測定操作の容易なものにできる。又、従来のように測定部位ごとに設けられた測定開始ボタンを間違って押圧操作してしまうようなことを防止できる。   By doing so, the device itself specifies the measurement site without specifying the measurement site to be measured in advance by the measurement subject and giving an instruction to the device by input or the like. Therefore, for example, even when the measurement site to be measured is different, the same one measurement start operation unit may be operated. Therefore, it is not necessary to confirm and select the measurement start button for each measurement site as in the prior art, so that it is not necessary to perform a pressing operation, and the measurement operation can be facilitated. In addition, it is possible to prevent the measurement start button provided for each measurement site from being erroneously pressed as in the prior art.

請求項２によれば、第１設定部位は、身体における太もも又は腕とされ、第２設定部位は、身体における腹部とされる。また、第１受光量が第２受光量よりも多い場合に、測定部位が太もも又は腕であるとの判定を行い、第１受光量が第２受光量よりも多くない場合に、測定部位が腹部であるとの判定を行う。   According to claim 2, the first setting site is the thigh or arm in the body, and the second setting site is the abdomen in the body. Further, when the first received light amount is larger than the second received light amount, it is determined that the measurement site is a thigh or an arm, and when the first received light amount is not larger than the second received light amount, It is determined that it is the abdomen.

第１受光部による受光量と第２受光部による受光量とは、例えば測定部位における表皮から骨までの距離によって差が生じるという受光特性がある。例えば太もも又は腕の場合は、第１受光量が第２受光量よりも少なくなる。これに対し、腹部の場合は、第１受光量が第２受光量よりも多くなる。   The amount of light received by the first light-receiving unit and the amount of light received by the second light-receiving unit have a light-receiving characteristic that a difference occurs depending on the distance from the epidermis to the bone at the measurement site, for example. For example, in the case of the thigh or the arm, the first received light amount is smaller than the second received light amount. On the other hand, in the case of the abdomen, the first received light amount is larger than the second received light amount.

従って、この受光特性に基づいて、装置に上記のように判定を行わせるようにすれば、容易に確実に測定部位が太もも又は腕であるか、あるいは腹部であるかを装置によって判定させ特定させることができる。   Therefore, if the apparatus makes the determination as described above based on this light receiving characteristic, the apparatus can easily and reliably determine whether or not the measurement site is the thigh, the arm, or the abdomen. be able to.

請求項３によれば、皮下脂肪厚測定データを生成する測定データ生成手段を備えているとともに、測定部位特定手段によって特定した測定部位とその測定部位における皮下脂肪厚測定データとを夫々判るように表示する表示部とを備えている。   According to the third aspect, the measurement data generating means for generating the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data is provided, and the measurement site specified by the measurement site specifying means and the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data at the measurement site can be respectively determined. And a display unit for displaying.

こうすることにより、被測定者は、表示部を見れば、測定部位とその測定部位における皮下脂肪厚測定データとが即座に判り、被測定者にとって使用し易い利用価値の高いものにできる。   By doing so, the measurement subject can immediately know the measurement site and the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data at the measurement site by looking at the display unit, and can be made highly useful and easy to use for the measurement subject.

以下、本発明を実施するための最良の形態について、図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。図１は、本発明の一実施形態の皮下脂肪厚測定装置１の表側の斜視図、図２は、その皮下脂肪厚測定装置１の裏側の斜視図である。   Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the front side of a subcutaneous fat thickness measuring apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the back side of the subcutaneous fat thickness measuring apparatus 1.

この実施形態の皮下脂肪厚測定装置１は、図２に示すように裏面側に測定面１０を備えている。測定面１０は、被測定者の測定部位に接する四角形状に形成されている。   The subcutaneous fat thickness measuring apparatus 1 of this embodiment includes a measurement surface 10 on the back surface side as shown in FIG. The measurement surface 10 is formed in a quadrangular shape that contacts the measurement site of the measurement subject.

この測定面１０に、波長８５０ｎｍ付近の近赤外光を発するＬＥＤを有する発光部１１が設けられている。又、この発光部１１から所定の距離を隔てて第１受光部１２Ａが設けられているとともに、発光部１１からの距離が発光部１１から第１受光部１２Ａまでの距離よりも大きい位置に配設された第２受光部１２Ｂが設けられている。   On the measurement surface 10, a light emitting unit 11 having an LED that emits near-infrared light having a wavelength of about 850 nm is provided. In addition, the first light receiving unit 12A is provided at a predetermined distance from the light emitting unit 11, and the distance from the light emitting unit 11 is larger than the distance from the light emitting unit 11 to the first light receiving unit 12A. A provided second light receiving portion 12B is provided.

この実施形態では、第１受光部１２Ａは、発光部１１からの距離が１５ｍｍ〜２０ｍｍ程度の位置に配設されている。又、第２受光部１２Ｂは、発光部１１からの距離が２５ｍｍ〜４５ｍｍ程度の位置に配設されている。尚、第１受光部１２Ａ及び第２受光部１２Ｂの発光部１１までの距離は、上記のものに限らず、適宜変更し得る。   In this embodiment, the first light receiving unit 12A is disposed at a position where the distance from the light emitting unit 11 is about 15 mm to 20 mm. The second light receiving unit 12B is disposed at a position where the distance from the light emitting unit 11 is about 25 mm to 45 mm. In addition, the distance to the light emission part 11 of 12 A of 1st light-receiving parts and the 2nd light-receiving part 12B is not restricted to the above, It can change suitably.

又、この測定面１０は、略平面に形成されている。測定面１０を被測定者の測定部位に押し当てたとき、その押圧力によって皮下脂肪層の圧縮度合いが変化し、脂肪層の厚みが変化する。そのため、測定面１０を略平面にすることにより、測定面１０の付近の皮下脂肪層の厚みを略一定にすることができ、安定した測定を行うことができるようにしている。   The measurement surface 10 is formed in a substantially flat surface. When the measurement surface 10 is pressed against the measurement site of the measurement subject, the degree of compression of the subcutaneous fat layer changes due to the pressing force, and the thickness of the fat layer changes. Therefore, by making the measurement surface 10 substantially flat, the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer near the measurement surface 10 can be made substantially constant, so that stable measurement can be performed.

また、測定面１０の左右中央に凸条１０ａを形成し、この凸条１０ａに形成した穴内に上記発光部１１と第１受光部１２Ａ、第２受光部１２Ｂをそれぞれ設けている。これにより、測定面１０を被測定者の測定部位に押し当てると、この凸条１０ａが身体の表皮に食い込み、皮下脂肪層が均一に圧縮された状態となる。このとき、発光部１１と第１受光部１２Ａ、第２受光部１２Ｂが表皮等に食い込むため、外光の入り込む隙間が無くなり、外光の影響を受けにくくなる。   Further, a ridge 10a is formed at the left and right center of the measurement surface 10, and the light emitting unit 11, the first light receiving unit 12A, and the second light receiving unit 12B are provided in the holes formed in the ridge 10a. Accordingly, when the measurement surface 10 is pressed against the measurement site of the measurement subject, the ridges 10a bite into the body epidermis, and the subcutaneous fat layer is uniformly compressed. At this time, since the light emitting unit 11, the first light receiving unit 12A, and the second light receiving unit 12B bite into the epidermis or the like, there is no gap for the external light to enter, and the light is hardly affected by the external light.

また、測定面１０の外側に四角枠状の凸部１０ｂを設けることにより、外光を遮る壁ができ、外光の影響をほとんど無くすことが可能となる。同時に、この連続した凸部１０ｂが測定部位の周囲に食い込んで押し広げるので、測定面１０の付近の皮下脂肪層を均一に押し広げることができ、安定した状態で測定を行うことができる。   Further, by providing the rectangular frame-shaped convex portion 10b on the outside of the measurement surface 10, a wall that blocks external light can be formed, and the influence of external light can be almost eliminated. At the same time, since the continuous convex portion 10b bites into and spreads around the measurement site, the subcutaneous fat layer in the vicinity of the measurement surface 10 can be uniformly spread and measurement can be performed in a stable state.

ここで、これらの発光部１１、第１受光部１２Ａ及び第２受光部１２Ｂによる皮下脂肪厚の測定原理を、図４に基づいて説明する。発光部１１から照射された赤外光は、表皮Ｍ１に入射する。生体は、近赤外若しくは可視光にとって散乱体であるから、赤外光は散乱しながら皮下脂肪層Ｍ２に入射する。   Here, the measurement principle of the subcutaneous fat thickness by the light emitting unit 11, the first light receiving unit 12A, and the second light receiving unit 12B will be described with reference to FIG. The infrared light irradiated from the light emitting unit 11 enters the skin M1. Since the living body is a scatterer for near infrared or visible light, the infrared light is incident on the subcutaneous fat layer M2 while being scattered.

皮下脂肪層Ｍ２に入射した赤外光は、さらに散乱、拡散を続けながら広がり、一部は筋肉層Ｍ３に達する。この筋肉層Ｍ３は血液や水分が多いとともに筋繊維の影響で、赤外光が多く吸収される。この筋肉層Ｍ３に到達せずに皮下脂肪層Ｍ２を広がる赤外光は、ほとんど減衰することなく伝播する。   The infrared light incident on the subcutaneous fat layer M2 further spreads while continuing to scatter and diffuse, and part of it reaches the muscle layer M3. The muscle layer M3 has a lot of blood and water and absorbs a lot of infrared light due to the influence of muscle fibers. Infrared light that spreads through the subcutaneous fat layer M2 without reaching the muscle layer M3 propagates with almost no attenuation.

したがって、皮下脂肪層Ｍ２が厚い場合は、ほとんどの赤外光は、筋肉層Ｍ３の影響で減衰することなく伝播するが、皮下脂肪層Ｍ２が薄い場合は、多くの赤外光が筋肉層Ｍ３に到達して減衰するために、第１受光部１２Ａ、第２受光部１２Ｂに到達する光が減少する。   Therefore, when the subcutaneous fat layer M2 is thick, most infrared light propagates without being attenuated due to the influence of the muscle layer M3. However, when the subcutaneous fat layer M2 is thin, much infrared light is transmitted through the muscle layer M3. Therefore, the light reaching the first light receiving unit 12A and the second light receiving unit 12B decreases.

この結果、第１受光部１２Ａ、第２受光部１２Ｂで受光した赤外光の受光量を検出することで、皮下脂肪厚を知ることができる。   As a result, the subcutaneous fat thickness can be known by detecting the amount of infrared light received by the first light receiving unit 12A and the second light receiving unit 12B.

又、測定箇所における表皮Ｍ１から骨（図示せず）までの距離によって第１受光部１２Ａにより受光された第１受光量と第２受光部１２Ｂにより受光された第２受光量とに差が生じるという受光特性がある。例えば図５に示すように太もも又は腕の場合は、第１受光部１２Ａの受光量が第２受光部１２Ｂの受光量よりも多くなる。これに対し、腹部の場合は、第１受光部１２Ａの受光量が第２受光部１２Ｂの受光量よりも少なくなる。   Further, there is a difference between the first received light amount received by the first light receiving unit 12A and the second received light amount received by the second light receiving unit 12B depending on the distance from the epidermis M1 to the bone (not shown) at the measurement location. There is a light receiving characteristic. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, in the case of a thigh or an arm, the amount of light received by the first light receiving unit 12A is larger than the amount of light received by the second light receiving unit 12B. On the other hand, in the case of the abdomen, the amount of light received by the first light receiving unit 12A is smaller than the amount of light received by the second light receiving unit 12B.

従って、第１受光部１２Ａにより得られた受光量データと第２受光部１２Ｂにより得られた受光量データとを対比して第１受光量が第２受光量よりも多いか否かに基づいて、測定部位が、第１設定部位であるか、又は、表皮Ｍ１から骨までの距離が第１設定部位よりも大きい第２設定部位であるか否かを判定できる。   Therefore, based on whether the first received light amount is larger than the second received light amount by comparing the received light amount data obtained by the first light receiving unit 12A and the received light amount data obtained by the second light receiving unit 12B. It can be determined whether the measurement site is the first set site or the second set site where the distance from the epidermis M1 to the bone is larger than the first set site.

次に、図１を参照して、皮下脂肪厚測定装置１の表側について説明すると、左右両側には、夫々、左右の手で掴むためのグリップ２１がそれぞれ形成され、このグリップ２１を掴んだ状態で、上記測定面１０を測定部位に押し当てる。   Next, the front side of the subcutaneous fat thickness measuring apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 1. A grip 21 for gripping with the left and right hands is formed on each of the left and right sides, and the grip 21 is gripped. Then, the measurement surface 10 is pressed against the measurement site.

又、左右のグリップ２１の間には、表示部２２が設けられている。この実施形態の表示部２２は、例えば図３に示すように、「お腹」あるいは「太もも又は腕」のように測定した測定部位の名称を表示する（図３では、「お腹」を表示した場合を例示している）。   A display unit 22 is provided between the left and right grips 21. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the display unit 22 of this embodiment displays the name of the measurement site measured as “abdomen” or “thigh or arm” (in FIG. 3, when “abdomen” is displayed). For example).

又、表示部２２は、図３に示すようにその表示された測定部位の皮下脂肪厚測定データを表示する。更には、表示部２２には、皮下脂肪厚の測定を開始操作するための測定開始操作部２２ａを表示する。   Further, the display unit 22 displays the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data of the displayed measurement site as shown in FIG. Furthermore, the display unit 22 displays a measurement start operation unit 22a for starting the measurement of subcutaneous fat thickness.

又、図１に示すように皮下脂肪厚測定装置１における表示部２２の左方側に設定ボタン２３が設けられ、表示部２２の右方側に、変更ボタン２４が設けられている。設定ボタン２３は、身長、体重、性別、年齢等のデータを、タッチパネル式の表示部２２に入力した後に、設定するためのものである。又、変更ボタン２４は、それらのデータを変更するためのものである。   As shown in FIG. 1, a setting button 23 is provided on the left side of the display unit 22 in the subcutaneous fat thickness measuring apparatus 1, and a change button 24 is provided on the right side of the display unit 22. The setting button 23 is used to set data such as height, weight, sex, and age after the data is input to the touch panel display unit 22. The change button 24 is for changing those data.

また、皮下脂肪厚測定装置１における表示部２２の近傍には、電源ボタン２５が設けられ、その電源ボタン２５の左右両側には、被測定者における上記設定したデータをそれぞれ呼び出すための「１」〜「４」の呼出ボタン２６が設けられている。例えば「１」の呼出ボタン２６を押すと、ある被測定者のデータのみが表示部２２に表示される。   In addition, a power button 25 is provided in the vicinity of the display unit 22 in the subcutaneous fat thickness measuring apparatus 1, and “1” for calling the set data of the measured person on the left and right sides of the power button 25, respectively. To “4” call buttons 26 are provided. For example, when the call button 26 of “1” is pressed, only data of a certain person to be measured is displayed on the display unit 22.

又、皮下脂肪厚測定装置１は、図６に示すように測定部位特定手段２７と、測定データ生成手段２９とを備えている。又、測定部位特定手段２７は、設定部位を判定する設定部位判定手段２８を備えている。   The subcutaneous fat thickness measuring apparatus 1 includes a measurement site specifying means 27 and a measurement data generating means 29 as shown in FIG. In addition, the measurement site specifying unit 27 includes a set site determination unit 28 that determines a set site.

この実施形態の設定部位判定手段２８は、第１受光部１２Ａにより得られた第１受光量についての第１受光量データと第２受光部１２Ｂにより得られた第２受光量についての第２受光量データとに基づいて測定部位が第１設定部位であるか、又は第２設定部位であるかを判定する。   The set site determination means 28 of this embodiment includes the first received light amount data for the first received light amount obtained by the first light receiving portion 12A and the second received light amount for the second received light amount obtained by the second light receiving portion 12B. Based on the amount data, it is determined whether the measurement site is the first set site or the second set site.

よく詳しくは、第１設定部と、表皮Ｍ１から骨までの距離が第１設定部における表皮Ｍ１から骨までの距離よりも大きい第２設定部とを予め設定されている。そして、第１設定部は、第１受光量が第２受光量よりも多いとの条件と関連付けて、皮下脂肪厚測定装置１に設けられたデータベース（図示せず）に記憶されている。第２設定部は、第１受光量が第２受光量よりも少ない、即ち多くないとの条件と関連付けて、上記データベースに記憶されている。   More specifically, a first setting unit and a second setting unit in which the distance from the epidermis M1 to the bone is larger than the distance from the epidermis M1 to the bone in the first setting unit are set in advance. The first setting unit is stored in a database (not shown) provided in the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement apparatus 1 in association with the condition that the first received light amount is larger than the second received light amount. The second setting unit is stored in the database in association with a condition that the first received light amount is smaller than the second received light amount, that is, not larger.

そして、設定部位判定手段２８は、第１受光量データと第２受光量データとを対比して、第１受光量が第２受光量よりも多い場合に、上記データベースに記憶した条件に基づいて測定部位が第１設定部位であるとの判定を行う。一方、第１受光量が第２受光量よりも多くない場合、上記データベースに記憶した条件に基づいて、設定部位判定手段２８は、測定部位が第２設定部位であるとの判定を行う。   Then, the set site determination means 28 compares the first received light amount data and the second received light amount data, and when the first received light amount is larger than the second received light amount, based on the conditions stored in the database. It is determined that the measurement site is the first set site. On the other hand, when the first received light amount is not larger than the second received light amount, the set site determination unit 28 determines that the measurement site is the second set site based on the conditions stored in the database.

又、この実施形態では、第１設定部位は、太もも又は腕とされ、第２設定部位は、表皮Ｍ１から骨までの距離が太もも又は腕よりも大きい腹部とされている。   In this embodiment, the first setting part is the thigh or the arm, and the second setting part is the abdomen where the distance from the epidermis M1 to the bone is larger than the thigh or the arm.

測定データ生成手段２９は、測定部位の皮下脂肪厚測定データを生成する。この実施形態では、第１受光量データ及び第２受光量データと、予め上記データベースから抽出した演算式とに基づいて測定部位の皮下脂肪厚測定データを生成する。   The measurement data generation means 29 generates subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data of the measurement site. In this embodiment, the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data of the measurement site is generated based on the first received light amount data and the second received light amount data and the arithmetic expression previously extracted from the database.

詳しくは、皮下脂肪厚測定装置１は、上記データベースに、測定部位ごとに演算式を各測定部位と関連付けて記憶している。そして、測定部位特定手段２７により特定した測定部位に基づいて、その測定部位と関連付けて記憶した演算式をデータベースから抽出する。そして、その抽出した演算式と、第１受光量データ及び第２受光量データとに基づいて特定した測定部位の皮下脂肪厚測定データを生成する。   Specifically, the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement apparatus 1 stores an arithmetic expression for each measurement site in association with each measurement site in the database. Then, based on the measurement site specified by the measurement site specifying means 27, the arithmetic expression stored in association with the measurement site is extracted from the database. And the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data of the measurement site | part specified based on the extracted computing equation, 1st received light amount data, and 2nd received light amount data are produced | generated.

又、図示しないが、皮下脂肪厚測定装置１は、記録装置であるメモリ、制御装置であるＣＰＵを備えている。そして、上記ＣＰＵは、図６の測定部位特定手段２７、設定部位判定手段２８、測定データ生成手段２９として機能する。   Although not shown, the subcutaneous fat thickness measuring apparatus 1 includes a memory that is a recording device and a CPU that is a control device. The CPU functions as the measurement site specifying unit 27, the set site determination unit 28, and the measurement data generation unit 29 in FIG.

次に、皮下脂肪厚を測定する際の皮下脂肪厚測定装置１の動作について説明する。図７は、皮下脂肪厚測定装置１により皮下脂肪厚を測定する場合の流れを示すフローチャートである。尚、説明の都合上、電源ボタン２５が被測定者によって押圧操作されるとともに、測定面１０が測定部位に押し当てられた状態から説明する。   Next, operation | movement of the subcutaneous fat thickness measuring apparatus 1 at the time of measuring subcutaneous fat thickness is demonstrated. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a flow when the subcutaneous fat thickness measuring apparatus 1 measures the subcutaneous fat thickness. For convenience of explanation, the power button 25 is pressed by the measurement subject and the measurement surface 10 is pressed against the measurement site.

皮下脂肪厚測定装置１は、測定開始操作部２２ａが押圧操作されたか否かの判定を行う（図７、ステップＳ１）。ステップＳ１において、測定開始操作部２２ａが被測定者によって押圧操作された場合は、押圧操作されたとの判定をし、次のステップに進む。押圧操作されない場合は、押圧操作されるのを待つ。   The subcutaneous fat thickness measurement apparatus 1 determines whether or not the measurement start operation unit 22a has been pressed (FIG. 7, step S1). In step S1, when the measurement start operation unit 22a is pressed by the person to be measured, it is determined that the pressing operation is performed, and the process proceeds to the next step. When the pressing operation is not performed, it waits for the pressing operation.

上記押圧操作されたとの判定をした場合、皮下脂肪厚測定装置１は、発光部１１から近赤外光を発するとともに、第１受光部１２Ａ及び第２受光部１２Ｂで受光させ、第１受光部１２Ａにより第１受光量データを、第２受光部１２Ｂにより第２受光量データを、夫々取得する（図７、ステップＳ２）。   When it is determined that the pressing operation is performed, the subcutaneous fat thickness measuring device 1 emits near infrared light from the light emitting unit 11 and is received by the first light receiving unit 12A and the second light receiving unit 12B, and the first light receiving unit is received. The first received light amount data is acquired by 12A, and the second received light amount data is acquired by the second light receiving unit 12B (step S2 in FIG. 7).

そして、皮下脂肪厚測定装置１は、取得した第１受光量データと第２受光量データとを対比し、第１受光量が第２受光量よりも多いか否かを判定する（図７、ステップＳ３）。   Then, the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement apparatus 1 compares the acquired first received light amount data with the second received light amount data to determine whether the first received light amount is larger than the second received light amount (FIG. 7, Step S3).

ステップＳ３において、第１受光量が第２受光量よりも多いとの判定をした場合、皮下脂肪厚測定装置１は、測定部位が太もも又は腕であるとの判定を行う（図７、ステップＳ４）。   If it is determined in step S3 that the first received light amount is greater than the second received light amount, the subcutaneous fat thickness measuring apparatus 1 determines that the measurement site is the thigh or the arm (FIG. 7, step S4). ).

測定部位が太もも又は腕であるとの判定を行った場合、皮下脂肪厚測定装置１は、太もも又は腕と関連付けてデータベースに記憶した太もも及び腕用の演算式を抽出する。そして、その抽出した太もも及び腕用の演算式と、第１受光量及び第２受光量とに基づいて、太もも又は腕の皮下脂肪厚測定データを生成する（図７、ステップＳ５）。   When it is determined that the measurement site is the thigh or the arm, the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement apparatus 1 extracts the arithmetic expression for the thigh and the arm stored in the database in association with the thigh or the arm. Then, based on the arithmetic expression for the extracted thigh and arm and the first received light amount and the second received light amount, the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data of the thigh or arm is generated (FIG. 7, step S5).

次に、皮下脂肪厚測定装置１は、生成した皮下脂肪厚測定データを、その測定部位の名称「太もも又は腕」と共に、表示部に表示する（図７、ステップＳ６、図３参照）。   Next, the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement apparatus 1 displays the generated subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data on the display unit together with the name “thigh or arm” of the measurement site (see FIG. 7, step S6, FIG. 3).

上記ステップＳ３において、第１受光量が第２受光量よりも多くないとの判定をした場合、皮下脂肪厚測定装置１は、測定部位が腹部であるとの判定を行う（図７、ステップＳ７）。   If it is determined in step S3 that the first received light amount is not greater than the second received light amount, the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement apparatus 1 determines that the measurement site is the abdomen (FIG. 7, step S7). ).

測定部位が腹部であるとの判定を行った場合、皮下脂肪厚測定装置１は、腹部と関連付けてデータベースに記憶した腹部用の演算式を抽出する。そして、その抽出した腹部用の演算式と、第１受光量及び第２受光量とに基づいて、腹部の皮下脂肪厚測定データを生成する（図７、ステップＳ８）。   When it is determined that the measurement site is the abdomen, the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement apparatus 1 extracts an abdominal arithmetic expression stored in the database in association with the abdomen. Then, abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data is generated based on the extracted abdominal calculation formula and the first received light amount and the second received light amount (FIG. 7, step S8).

次に、皮下脂肪厚測定装置１は、図３に示すように、生成した皮下脂肪厚測定データを、表示部２２に、その測定部位の名称「お腹」と共に、例えば１０ｍｍと表示する（図７、ステップＳ９）。   Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement apparatus 1 displays the generated subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data on the display unit 22 together with the name of the measurement site “abdomen”, for example, 10 mm (FIG. 7). Step S9).

尚、上記実施形態では、第１設定部位として太もも又は腕を、第２設定部位として腹部を夫々設定したが、この形態のものに限らず、適宜変更できる。例えば第１設定部位として足のふくらはぎを設定してもよい。   In the above-described embodiment, the thigh or arm is set as the first setting site, and the abdomen is set as the second setting site. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, a leg calf may be set as the first setting part.

又、上記実施形態では、受光部を、第１受光部と第２受光部とから構成したが、この形態のものに限らず、適宜変更できる。例えば、第１受光部と第２受光部との間に第３受光部を設け、さらには、発光部１１からの距離が発光部１１から第２受光部よりも大きい位置に、第３受光部に代えて、又は第３受光部と共に第４受光部を設けるようにしてもよい。   Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the light-receiving part was comprised from the 1st light-receiving part and the 2nd light-receiving part, it is not restricted to the thing of this form, It can change suitably. For example, a third light receiving unit is provided between the first light receiving unit and the second light receiving unit, and further, the third light receiving unit is located at a position where the distance from the light emitting unit 11 is larger than the light emitting unit 11 than the second light receiving unit. Alternatively, the fourth light receiving unit may be provided together with the third light receiving unit.

また、上記実施形態では、測定データ生成手段２９は、第１受光量データ及び第２受光量データと、各測定部位と関連付けてデータベースに記憶した各測定部位ごとの演算式とに基づいて測定部位の皮下脂肪厚測定データを生成するものとしているが、この形態のものに限らず、適宜変更できる。   Moreover, in the said embodiment, the measurement data production | generation means 29 is a measurement site | part based on 1st received light amount data and 2nd received light amount data, and the calculation formula for every measurement site memorize | stored in the database in relation with each measurement site | part. However, the present invention is not limited to this form, and can be changed as appropriate.

例えば測定データ生成手段２９は、第１受光量データ及び第２受光量データと、全ての測定部位に対して設定した同一の演算式とに基づいて測定部位の皮下脂肪厚測定データを生成するものとしてもよい。ただし、この場合は、測定部位が太もも又は腕である場合も、腹部である場合も同一の演算式を用いることになるので、例えば太もも又は腕であることを考慮した補正条件、腹部であることを考慮した補正条件等を演算式に含めることができない。   For example, the measurement data generation unit 29 generates the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data of the measurement site based on the first received light amount data and the second received light amount data and the same calculation formula set for all the measurement sites. It is good. However, in this case, the same calculation formula is used regardless of whether the measurement site is the thigh or the arm or the abdomen. For example, the correction condition considering the thigh or the arm is the abdomen. Correction conditions that take into account the above cannot be included in the arithmetic expression.

しかし、上記実施形態のように太もも又は腕、あるいは腹部等の測定部位に対応してデータベースに記憶した測定部位ごとの演算式に基づいて測定部位の皮下脂肪厚測定データを生成すれば、測定部位ごとの補正条件等を含めた演算式を用いることができる。従って、測定部位の皮下脂肪厚測定データを正確なものにでき、この点で、上記実施形態のように行うのが好ましい。   However, if the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data of the measurement site is generated based on the calculation formula for each measurement site stored in the database corresponding to the measurement site such as the thigh, the arm, or the abdomen as in the above embodiment, the measurement site An arithmetic expression including correction conditions for each can be used. Therefore, the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data at the measurement site can be made accurate, and in this respect, it is preferable to carry out as in the above embodiment.

又、上記実施形態では、測定部位と皮下脂肪厚測定データとを表示部に表示するようにしているが、例えば測定部位と皮下脂肪厚測定データとの一方又は両方を、表示部の表示に代えて、又は表示部の表示と共に、音声によって被測定者に知らせるようにしてもよい。   In the above embodiment, the measurement site and the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data are displayed on the display unit. However, for example, one or both of the measurement site and the subcutaneous fat thickness measurement data is replaced with the display on the display unit. Alternatively, the person to be measured may be notified by voice together with the display on the display unit.
