Abstract
A terminal includes a display configured to display a plurality of options of food and/or beverage; an identifying unit configured to identify food and/or beverage selected by a user from the plurality of options; a presenting unit configured to present food and/or beverage to be ingested together with the selected food and/or beverage; and a determining unit configured to determine a dietary menu from the presented food and/or beverage including the specified food and/or beverage.
Claims11
A device comprising:
- a display configured to display a plurality of options of food or beverages;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- identify a first food or beverage for a first meal selected by a user operating an input device from the plurality of options on the display;
- present on the display a second food or beverage to be selected by the user with the input device from the plurality of options and ingested together with the selected first food or beverage in the first meal;
- wherein the display is further configured to display a first dietary menu for the first meal including the selected first food or beverage and the selected second food or beverage;
- the processor further configured to:
- generate and store in a storage device a plan for physical management of the user to achieve a target physical condition in a period until the target is achieved;
- acquire content of a meal ingested by the user and an amount of physical activity performed by the user and store the acquired content in the storage device as a history of the user's diet and exercise in performing the plan;
- acquire nutrition information stored in the storage device on the food or beverage of the ingested meal;
- calculate calories of the ingested meal and calories consumed by the physical activity performed by the user;
- calculate a ratio of a target weight at a time according to the plan for the user and a weight of the user as actually measured at the time and define a level of achievement of the plan for the user as the calculated ratio;
- and
- determine a next dietary menu appropriate to achieve the target physical condition for a next meal, wherein the next meal incudes a next first and a next second food or beverage selectable by the user from the plurality of options of food or beverages displayed on the display based on the level of achievement of the target physical condition;
- wherein when at least one of the meal ingested by the user exceeds a calorie threshold or the physical activity performed by the user is less than an activity threshold, the processor reduces the plurality of options of foods or beverages displayed on the display that are selectable by the user for the next first and the next second food or beverage by preventing selection by the user operating the input device of food or beverages displayed on the display that do not achieve the target physical condition;
- and
- wherein when at least one of the meal ingested by the user is less than or equal to the calorie threshold or the physical activity performed by the user is greater than or equal to the activity threshold, the processor at least one of maintains or increases the plurality of options of foods or beverages displayed on the display that are selectable by the user for the next first and the next second food or beverage by allowing selection by the user operating the input device of the food or beverages displayed on the display that achieves the target physical condition;
- thereby actively involving the user in generating a nutritionally appropriate dietary menu to achieve the user's target physical condition according to the plan.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores a program causing a computer to execute:
- displaying on a display a plurality of options of food or beverages;
- identifying a first food or beverage for a first meal selected by a user operating an input device from the plurality of options displayed on the display;
- presenting on the display a second food or beverage to be selected by the user with the input device from the plurality of options and ingested together with the selected first food or beverage in the first meal;
- displaying to the user a first dietary menu for the first meal including the selected first food or beverage and the selected second food or beverage;
- generating and storing in a storage device a plan for physical management of the user to achieve a target physical condition in a period until the target is achieved;
- acquiring content of a meal ingested by the user and an amount of physical activity performed by the user and store the acquired content in the storage device as a history of the user's diet and exercise in performing the plan;
- acquiring nutrition information stored in the storage device on the food or beverage of the ingested meal;
- calculating calories of the ingested meal and calories consumed by the physical activity performed by the user;
- calculating a ratio of a target weight at a time according to the plan for the user and a weight of the user as actually measured at the time and defining a level of achievement of the plan as the calculated ratio;
- and
- determining a next dietary menu appropriate to achieve the target physical condition for a next meal, wherein the next meal includes a next first and a next second food or beverage selectable by the user from the plurality of options of food or beverages displayed on the display based on the level of achievement of the target physical condition;
- wherein when at least one of the meal ingested by the user exceeds a calorie threshold or the physical activity performed by the user is less than an activity threshold, reducing the plurality of options of foods or beverages displayed on the display that are selectable by the user for the next first and the next second food or beverage by preventing selection by the user operating the input device of food or beverages displayed on the display that do not achieve the target physical condition;
- and
- wherein when at least one of the meal ingested by the user is less than or equal to the calorie threshold or the physical activity performed by the user is greater than or equal to the activity threshold, at least one of maintaining or increasing the plurality of options of foods or beverages displayed on the display that are selectable by the user for the next first and the next second food or beverage by allowing selection by the user operating the input device of the food or beverages displayed on the display that achieves the target physical condition;
- thereby actively involving the user in generating a nutritionally appropriate dietary menu to achieve the user's target physical condition according to the plan.

A method of proposing a dietary menu, comprising:
- displaying on a display a plurality of options of food or beverages;
- specifying a first food or beverage for a first meal selected by a user operating an input device for a meal from the plurality of options on the display;
- presenting on the display a second food or beverage to be selected by the user with the input device from the plurality of options and ingested for the meal together with the selected first food or beverage in the first meal;
- displaying to the user on the display a first dietary menu for the first meal including the selected first food or beverage and the selected second food or beverage;
- generating and storing in a storage device a plan for physical management of the user to achieve a target physical condition in a period until the target is achieved;
- acquiring content of the meal ingested by the user and an amount of physical activity performed by the user and storing the acquired content in the storage device as a history of the user's diet and exercise in performing the plan;
- acquiring nutrition information stored in the storage device on the food or beverage of the ingested meal;
- calculating calories of the ingested meal and calories consumed by the physical activity performed by the user;
- calculating a ratio of a target weight at a time according to the plan for the user and a weight of the user as actually measured at the time and defining a level of achievement of the plan for the user as the calculated ratio;
- and
- determining a next dietary menu appropriate to achieve the target physical condition for a next meal, wherein the next meal includes a next first and a next second food or beverage selectable by the user from the plurality of options of food or beverages displayed on the display based on the level of achievement of the target physical condition;
