## Abstract

A mobile terminal includes a sensor information acquisition unit, a state calculation unit, and an output control unit. The sensor information acquisition unit successively acquires bio-information relating to a subject. The sensor information acquisition unit acquires activity information relating to activity of the subject. The state calculation unit estimates a physical condition of the subject based on the bio-information acquired and the activity information acquired. The output control unit controls the output unit to perform a notification of information based on the physical condition of the subject estimated.
