## Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes: a detecting unit that detects behavior information and biological information of a user as a target; a biological information estimating unit that calculates estimated biological information by applying, to a metabolism model, the behavior information and the biological information detected by the detecting unit; and a suggesting unit that suggests, to the user, a recommended behavior calculated based on the estimated biological information calculated by the biological information estimating unit.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An information processing system comprising:
a processor including a processing device and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processing device, cause the processor to:
obtain blood-sugar level information and electronic payments information of a patient, the blood-sugar level information being obtained from a blood-sugar level meter and the electronic payments information including information regarding goods purchased by the patient;
save the blood-sugar level information and the electronic payments information to a storage device;
calculate a calorie value based on the information regarding goods purchased;
calculate a future estimated blood-sugar level based on the blood-sugar level information and the calculated calorie value using a predetermined metabolism model; and
output the future estimated blood-sugar level as an image or a sound signal for action by the patient, including outputting a warning when the future estimated blood-sugar level does not fall within a suitable range.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the processor displays a recommended food or a recommended medicine, and a change of the future estimated blood-sugar level when eating the recommended food or taking the recommended medicine.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The information processing system according to claim 2, wherein the processor interlocks a home-delivery system to deliver the recommended food or the recommended medicine.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The information processing system according to claim 3, wherein the processor calculates the future estimated blood-sugar level by applying the blood-sugar level information, the calorie value, and own-patient difference information indicating a difference from past obtained blood-sugar level information to the predetermined metabolism model.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The information processing system according to claim 3, wherein the processor calculates the future estimated blood-sugar level by applying the blood-sugar level information, the calorie value, and difference information indicating a difference-patient information indicating a difference from obtained blood-sugar level information of others to the predetermined metabolism model.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The information processing system according to claim 5, wherein the processor calculates the future estimated blood-sugar level by applying the blood-sugar level information, the calorie value, and genetic information of the patient to the predetermined metabolism model.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The information processing system according to claim 6, wherein the processor calculates the future estimated blood-sugar level by applying the blood-sugar level information, the calorie value, and health medical information including a diagnosis history of the patient or a disease history of the patient to the predetermined metabolism model.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The information processing system according to claim 7, wherein the processor calculates the future estimated blood-sugar level by applying, to the predetermined metabolism model, the blood-sugar level information, the calorie value, and organ information indicating a condition of the patient obtained from a clonal organ which was activated in a reproduction environment reproducing the environment inside the patient's body.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the processor calculates a calorie value based on a value of total calories of a meal from a menu ordered by the patient as the information regarding goods purchased.

### Claim 10

An information processing method performed by a processor including a processing device and a memory storing instructions for performing the method, the method comprising:
obtaining blood-sugar level information and electronic payments information of a patient, the blood-sugar level information being obtained from a blood-sugar level meter and the electronic payments information including information regarding goods purchased by the patient;
calculating a calorie value based on the information regarding goods purchased;
calculating a future estimated blood-sugar level based on the blood-sugar level information and the calorie value using a predetermined metabolism model; and
outputting the future estimated blood-sugar level as an image or a sound signal for action by the patient, including outputting a warning when the future estimated blood-sugar level does not fall within a suitable range.

### Claim 11

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processing device, perform an information processing method comprising:
obtaining blood-sugar level information and electronic payments information of a patient, the blood-sugar level information being obtained from a blood-sugar level meter and the electronic payments information including information regarding goods purchased by the patient;
calculating a calorie value based on the information regarding goods purchased;
calculating a future estimated blood-sugar level based on the blood-sugar level information and the calorie value using a predetermined metabolism model; and
outputting the future estimated blood-sugar level as an image or a sound signal for action by the patient, including outputting a warning when the future estimated blood-sugar level does not fall within a suitable range.
