US 6,884,214 B2 · Daily-life disability related physical information determining apparatus

Abstract

An apparatus firstly acquires a value involving in a physical condition, such as a value relating to a body constitution, a value relating to a basic physical strength or a value relating to a motive ability, by acquisition means 101, secondly, based on said value, the apparatus specifies in specification means 103 the physical information involving in the physical strength related phase of the daily-life disability, such as a value relating to the basic strength, a value relating to the motive ability, or a value relating to a daily-life disability, all of which are configured for an aged person placed as a subject and stored in storage means 102, and finally the apparatus in output means 104 outputs thus specified information. Thereby, the determination on the physical information relating to the physical strength related phase of the daily-life disability may become possible automatically.
