(Other embodiments)
The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified as shown below, for example. The following modifications are not applied only to the above-described embodiment, and different modifications can be combined with each other.

  (First Modification) In the above embodiment, the goal achievement display segments 48A to 48E and 49A to 49E have a radially projecting shape, but display that the measurement result achieves the goal. The shape and the number of segments to be changed can be appropriately changed.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, the display unit 40 has a goal achievement display segment 48F representing a smile, a goal achievement display segment 48G representing a flower, or a goal achievement display segment 48H representing a thumb-up. Can also be provided. Also, as shown in FIGS. 7D to 7F, the display unit 40 has a goal achievement display segment 48I representing a heart mark, a goal achievement display segment 48J representing a four-leaf clover, or a goal representing a star. An achievement display segment 48K can also be provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 7 (g), a target achievement display segment 48L that displays characters indicating that the measurement result achieves the target can be provided on the display unit 40.

  In the above-described embodiment, the goal achievement display segments 48A to 48E and 49A to 49E flash. However, in accordance with the blinking of the goal achievement display segments 48A to 48E and 49A to 49E, the numeric value display segments 41A to 41D display numerical values. Can be appropriately changed.

  For example, numerical display segments 41A to 41D displaying measured values can be blinked together with blinking of target achievement display segments 48A to 48E and 49A to 49E. That is, the display state of the measurement result when the measurement result satisfies the target condition can be different from the display state of the measurement result when the measurement result does not satisfy the target condition. According to such a structure, the display part 40 can be made more conspicuous.

  In addition, the display colors of the numerical value display segments 41A to 41D displaying the measurement values can be switched in conjunction with the blinking of the target achievement display segments 48A to 48E and 49A to 49E. That is, the display color of the measurement result when the measurement result satisfies the target condition can be different from the display color of the measurement result when the measurement result does not satisfy the target condition. According to such a structure, the display part 40 can be made more conspicuous.

In the above embodiment, the goal achievement display segments 48A to 48E and 49A to 49E are blinked at different timings, but can be blinked at the same timing.
In the above embodiment, the goal achievement display segments 48A to 48E and 49A to 49E blink to display that the measurement result achieves the goal, but this display mode may be changed as appropriate. it can. For example, the target achievement display segments 48A to 48E and 49A to 49E can be changed to a configuration in which the display colors are switched without blinking.

  (Second Modification) In the above embodiment, the measurement result is to achieve the target by using only the display unit 40, but the body weight / body composition meter 1 is different from the display unit 40. Alternatively, the configuration can be changed to a configuration including a notification unit that notifies that the measurement result achieves the target. That is, it is possible to provide a notification unit whose operation state changes according to the relationship between the measurement result and the target condition.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the body composition monitor 1 includes a notification unit 50 that notifies the achievement of the target, and the notification unit 50 achieves the target as a result of the measurement. It can also be notified by emitting light. As such a notification part 50, LED (Light Emitting Diode) can be used. As described above, when the measurement result satisfies the target condition, the notification unit 50 may output light.

  -In the 2nd modification, although the alerting | reporting part 50 emitted light, an alerting | reporting part can also alert | report that a measurement result achieves a target by emitting a sound. A small speaker can be used as such a notification unit. As described above, when the measurement result satisfies the target condition, the notification unit can output sound.

  -In the 2nd modification, although the alerting | reporting part 50 emitted light, the alerting | reporting part can also alert | report that a measurement result achieves a target by vibration. As such a notification unit, a vibration motor can be used.

  (Third Modification) In the above embodiment, two targets, the first target condition and the second target condition, are set by setting the target value, but one or three or more targets are set. It can also be changed. That is, by setting a target value indicating the target weight, it is possible to set the target to be smaller than the target weight (to make the measured value smaller than the target value).

With reference to FIG. 9, a description will be given of a measurement result that is determined to have achieved the target in the third modification when the measurement result fluctuates so as to cross the target value G.
In FIG. 9, the weights W1, W4, and W6 are larger than the target value G. On the other hand, the weights W2, W3, W5 and W7 are smaller than the target value G. Therefore, the first, fourth, and sixth measurement results do not achieve the target, and the second, third, fifth, and seventh measurement results achieve the target. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, when the first, fourth, and sixth measurement results are displayed on the display unit 40, the goal achievement display segments 48A to 48E and 49A to 49E are not displayed. As shown in FIG. 6, when the second, third, fifth, and seventh measurement results are displayed on the display unit 40, the goal achievement display segments 48A to 48E and 49A to 49E are displayed.

  (Fourth Modification) In the above embodiment, the target value indicates a set target weight, but the target value can be changed. For example, past measurement values can be set as target values. In this case, the previous measurement value is automatically set as the target value, and the target is set to make the weight smaller than the target weight. That is, the measurement value obtained immediately before the current measurement value can be set as the “preceding measurement value”, and the measurement value immediately before can be set as the target value.

With reference to FIG. 10, the measurement result determined that the target has been achieved in the fourth modification will be described.
In FIG. 10, the weight W2 is smaller than the weight W1, the weight W5 is smaller than the weight W4, and the weight W7 is smaller than the weight W6. Therefore, the third, fourth, and sixth measurement results do not achieve the target, and the second, fifth, and seventh measurement results achieve the target. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, when the third, fourth, and sixth measurement results are displayed on the display unit 40, the goal achievement display segments 48A to 48E and 49A to 49E are not displayed. As shown in FIG. 6, when the second, fifth, seventh, and seventh measurement results are displayed on the display unit 40, the goal achievement display segments 48A to 48E and 49A to 49E are displayed. This modification is the same as the case where the setting of the second target condition in the above embodiment is omitted and only the first target condition is set as the target.

  In the above embodiment, the third modified example, and the fourth modified example, the target value indicating the target weight is set, so that the target weight is set to be smaller than the target weight. It can also be set as a goal to be the same.

  In the above embodiment, the third modified example, and the fourth modified example, the target value indicating the target weight is set, so that the target weight is set to be smaller than the target weight. It can also be set with the goal of increasing weight.

That is, when any one of the following (Condition 1) to (Condition 3) is satisfied, it can be determined that the measurement result satisfies the target condition.
(Condition 1) The target value is equal to the current measurement value (Condition 2) The target value is larger than the current measurement value (Condition 3) The target value is smaller than the current measurement value. Also, the following (Condition b) is satisfied The measurement result may be determined to satisfy the target condition. Note that a value that defines the lower limit of the target range is defined as “lower limit value”, and the absolute value of the difference between the current measured value and the lower limit value when the current measured value is smaller than the lower limit value is defined as “current lower limit difference”. Further, the absolute value of the difference between the previous measurement value and the lower limit value when the previous measurement value is smaller than the lower limit value is referred to as “previous lower limit side difference”.
(Condition b) The current lower limit difference is smaller than the previous upper limit difference or the previous lower limit difference. (Fifth Modification) In the above embodiment, the first target condition and the second target condition are set as targets. As one target condition, it has been set that the weight is closer to the target weight than the previous weight, but the setting of the first target condition can be omitted.

With reference to FIG. 11, the measurement result determined to have achieved the target in the fifth modification will be described. Note that the target range in the fifth modification is set separately from the target range of the above embodiment.

  In FIG. 11, weights W1, W4, W6 and W7 are not within the target range GR, and weights W2, W3 and W5 are within the target range GR. Accordingly, the first, fourth, sixth, and seventh measurement results do not achieve the above target, and the second, third, and fifth measurement results achieve the above target. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, when the first, fourth, sixth, and seventh measurement results are displayed on the display unit 40, the target achievement display segments 48A to 48E and 49A to 49E are not displayed. As shown in FIG. 6, when the second, third, and fifth measurement results are displayed on the display unit 40, target achievement display segments 48A to 48E and 49A to 49E are displayed.

  (Sixth Modification) In the above embodiment, the first target condition and the second target condition are set as targets, and the second target condition is set to fit the weight in the target range including the target weight. The setting of the second target condition can be omitted.

With reference to FIG. 12, the measurement result determined that the target has been achieved in the sixth modification will be described.
