Abstract
A light exposure system includes an external apparatus that is placed on a facility and a portable terminal that communicates with the external apparatus, and manages the amount of light which the user is exposed to. Furthermore, the external apparatus transmits information regarding the amount of light which the user is exposed to, to the portable terminal. In addition, the portable terminal includes: a terminal-side controller which receives the information from the external apparatus and calculates the cumulative value of the amount of light from the information, when a communication is established with the external apparatus; and a display that displays the cumulative value calculated by the terminal-side controller.
Claims11
A light exposure system that manages an amount of light which a user is exposed to, the light exposure system comprising:
- an external apparatus that is placed on a facility;
- and
- a portable terminal that communicates with the external apparatus, wherein:
- the external apparatus transmits information regarding the amount of light which the user is exposed to, to the portable terminal,
- the portable terminal includes:
- a terminal-side controller that receives the information from the external apparatus and calculates a cumulative value of the amount of light from the information, when a communication is established with the external apparatus;
- and
- an indicator that indicates the cumulative value calculated by the terminal-side controller, and
- when no communication is established with the external apparatus, the terminal-side controller:
- obtains position information of the portable terminal;
- transmits the position information and time information corresponding to the position information to a server;
- and
- obtains, from the server, information regarding an estimated amount of light, which the user is exposed to, corresponding to at least one of the position information and the time information:
- and
- calculates an additional cumulative value of the amount of light based on at least one of the information regarding an estimated amount of light corresponding to the position information and the information regarding an estimated amount of light corresponding to the time information, and adding the additional cumulative value to the cumulative value to calculate a new cumulative value.
A light exposure system that manages an amount of light which a user is exposed to, the light exposure system comprising:
- an external apparatus that is placed on a facility;
- and
- a portable terminal that communicates with the external apparatus, wherein:
- the external apparatus transmits information regarding the amount of light which the user is exposed to, to the portable terminal,
- the portable terminal includes:
- a terminal-side controller that receives the information from the external apparatus and calculates a cumulative value of the amount of light from the information, when a communication is established with the external apparatus;
- and
- an indicator that indicates the cumulative value calculated by the terminal-side controller, and
- the terminal-side controller:
- determines whether a first predetermined time has elapsed, and determines whether a remaining light amount at the first predetermined time is greater than or equal to a predetermined value;
- calculates the cumulative value of the light amount, when the terminal-side controller determines that the first predetermined time has elapsed and that the remaining light amount at the first predetermined time is greater than or equal to the predetermined value;
- determines whether a second predetermined time after the first predetermined time has elapsed, when the terminal-side controller determines that at least either the first predetermined time has not elapsed or the remaining light amount is less than the predetermined value;
- and
- indicates, via the indicator, a remaining light amount at the second predetermined time, when the terminal-side controller determines that the second predetermined time has elapsed.
