The abutment method proposal unit 80 specifies the time period when the absorbent article 10 in which the urine leakage occurred is worn based on the time when the urine leakage from the absorbent article 10 is confirmed, for example, input by the caregiver, and based on the urination data memory unit 50 and the inclination The data memorized in the data memory unit 60 is estimated from the position of the wearer at the time of urination at the time of urination determined by the posture determination unit 70, and the part where the urine leaks from the absorbent article 10 occurs in the time period is estimated, so that a suggestion is made. A method of contacting an absorbent article that does not leak urine from the presumed site. If the data collection part 30 , that is, the acceleration sensor 34 is installed on the ventral side, the positional relationship between the body absorber 12 c and the acceleration sensor 34 in the absorbent article 10 is easy to keep fixed, which is preferable.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the contact method proposal unit 80 preferably estimates whether the absorbent article 10 is shifted in the time period according to the inclination data of the time period stored in the inclination data memory unit 60, and will be estimated In the case where the deviation occurs, the proposal is also included in the interior, and the contact method of the absorbent article 10 is suggested.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the proposal package of the contacting method of the absorbent article The device 1 is preferably provided with a suggestion item memory unit 85, and the suggestion item memory unit 85 memorizes suggestion items related to the contact method of the absorbent article 10 for the estimated site where urine leakage occurs from the absorbent article 10, and The abutment method proposal unit 80 selects the advice item memorized in the advice item memory unit 85 , and proposes an abutment method of the absorbent article 10 that does not cause urine leakage from the estimated site.

The urination data memory unit 50 of the proposed device 1 constituting the contact method of the absorbent article of the present embodiment acquires the urination data of the wearer based on the impedance change together with the urination time data by the wetness data acquisition unit 51, and stores the urination data. These are stored in the database 90 , and the impedance change is measured by the urination sensor 20 installed in the absorbent article 10 and caused by the wetting diffusion of urine in the absorbent article 10 . The urination data memory unit 50 specifies the time point at which the impedance change becomes equal to or greater than the predetermined value as the wetting time when the absorbent article 10 is wetted by urine. That is, the wetness data acquisition unit 51 determines whether or not the absorbent article 10 is wet based on the amount of change in the impedance, and specifies the time when the wetness is determined to be the wet time.

The urination data memory unit 50 of the present embodiment includes: a wetness detection unit 54 that determines the presence or absence of wetness; a wetness time calculation unit 52 that specifies the wetness time; and a urine absorption amount calculation unit 53 that is estimated at the wetness time The amount of urine absorbed by the urine absorbing pad 11 (refer to FIG. 7 ). Hereinafter, the data on the presence or absence of wetness, the wetness time when wetness is present, and the amount of urine absorption are collectively referred to as wetness data.

The wetness detection unit 54 detects the presence or absence of wetness based on a change in impedance. Specifically, the wetness detection unit 54 determines whether the measured amount of impedance change is caused by wetness caused by urination or by noise. Whether it is caused by wetness caused by urination or noise is determined by whether the impedance change amount is more than a specific value. As noise, for example, there is a change in impedance due to events other than urination such as sweating. When it is determined that there is urination, the wetness detection unit 54 is determined to be The amount of urination impedance change is supplied to the wetting time calculation unit 52 and the urine absorption amount calculation unit 53 as the urination data of the wearer.

The wet time calculation unit 52 records the time when the amount of impedance change determined to be wet is measured as the wet time, and stores the wet time as the urination time data in the wet time accumulation table 92 in the database 90 .

The urine absorption amount calculation unit 53 estimates the urine absorption amount at each wet time based on the impedance change amount measured by the urination sensor 20 . The amount of urine absorbed is the amount of urine absorbed by the absorbent article per urination, obtained by calculating the amount of change in impedance. The urine absorption amount calculation unit 53 calculates the urine absorption amount using the impedance change amount at the time of wetting, and stores the calculation result, ie, the urine absorption amount, in the urine absorption amount accumulation table 93 in the database 90 as the urination data of the wearer.

The urine absorption amount calculation unit 53 estimates the distribution of urine in the urine absorbing pad 11 by detecting the posture of the wearer by means of an acceleration sensor in order to improve the calculation accuracy in estimating the amount of urination. It is preferable to perform the calculation of the amount of voided urine in the urine absorption amount calculation unit 53 in consideration of selection of a calculation formula suitable for the estimated distribution, or multiplication by a coefficient corresponding to the estimated distribution.

The urination data memory section 50 may not include the urine absorption amount calculation section 53 for estimating the urine absorption amount at each moisturizing time and serving as the urination data of the wearer. In other words, the urination data memory unit 50 preferably includes a urine absorption amount calculation unit 53 .

As shown in FIG. 7, the database 90 has a wet time accumulation table 92, which stores the wet time (urination time data) as the calculation result of the wet time calculation unit 52 for each wearer memorized by the urination data memory unit 50. ); and the urine absorption amount accumulation table 93 which stores the urine absorption amount (urination data) as the calculation result of the urine absorption amount calculation section 53 one by one for each wearer. The urine absorption amount accumulation table 93 is configured to be used when the urine-absorbing pad 11, that is, the absorbent article 10, is replaced. Urine absorption returns to zero. Specifically, the urine absorption amount accumulation table 93 is configured to detect the voltage between the electrodes of the impedance change detection circuit 31b when the data collection unit 30 is removed from the terminal portions 24a and 24b of the urination sensor 20 having the electrode group. The application has been switched off, thereby zeroing the cumulative data on urine absorption, ie, urine absorption and total urine absorption. Furthermore, among the information in the wet time accumulation table 92 and the urine absorption amount accumulation table 93, the wet time and the urine absorption amount are stored in the wetness information table 95 in the database 90 before returning to zero. That is, the information on the amount of urine absorbed at each wetting time is stored in the wetness information table 95 .

The inclination data memory unit 60 of the proposed device 1 constituting the abutting method of the absorbent article of the present embodiment will use the inclination data acquisition unit 61 to use the acceleration sensor 34 attached to the data collection unit 30 of the absorbent article 10 The measured inclination data is acquired together with the time data, and is stored in the database 90 . The inclination data storage unit 60 acquires the inclination data in the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis direction together with the time data acquired by the timer 33 through the inclination data acquisition unit 61, and uses them as the data collection unit The inclination data of 30 is stored in the inclination data accumulation table 94 in the database 90, and the inclination data of the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis direction are transmitted from the information processing device 400 which forms the data acquisition part 41, and are installed in the urination device 400. The measurement by the acceleration sensor 34 of the data collection part 30 of the sensor 20 is related to the wearing state of the absorbent article 10 or the urine-absorbing pad 11 .

As described above, in the following posture determination unit 70 or contact method proposal unit 80, the urination time data memorized by the urination data memory unit 50 and the time data memorized by the inclination data memory unit 60 are combined. By comparison, according to the inclination data of the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis direction, the posture of the wearer at a specific urination time or period, the wearing state of the absorbent article 10 or the urine-absorbing pad 11 and the positional deviation can be determined. shift.

of the proposed device 1 constituting the contacting method of the absorbent article of the present embodiment The posture determination unit 70 determines the posture of the wearer at the time of urination based on the data memorized by the urination data memory unit 50 and the inclination data memory unit 60 . The posture determination unit 70 includes a wearing state determination unit 71 , based on the inclination data measured by the acceleration sensor 34 of the data collection unit 30 mounted on the absorbent article 10 , and determines the inclination of the absorbent article 10 and the inclination of the absorbent article 10 . The wearing state related to the position shift is determined; and the information output unit 72 outputs the information of the wearing state at a specific urination time or period.

The wearing state determination unit 71 determines the wearing state of the absorbent article 10 based on the inclination data of the acceleration sensor measured by the acceleration sensor 34 of the data collection unit 30 . The wearing state of the absorbent article 10 refers to the inclination and positional displacement of the absorbent article 10 (urine-absorbing pad 11 ) to which the acceleration sensor 34 is attached.

The wearing state determination unit 71 specifies the inclination of the acceleration sensor 34 based on the output values of the XYZ axes of the acceleration sensor 34, thereby specifying the position of the absorbent article 10 on which the acceleration sensor 34 is attached. tilt. For example, as shown in FIGS. 8( a ) to ( c ), the acceleration sensor 34 is arranged on the wear absorber such that the X axis is along the waist width direction, the Y axis is along the height direction, and the Z axis is along the front and rear direction. The belly side of the wearer of item 10. The inclination of each axis direction of the XYZ axis represents the inclination of the absorbent article 10 , and as one factor affecting the inclination of the absorbent article 10 , the influence of the posture of the wearer wearing the absorbent article 10 can be cited. For example, in the case of wearing the absorbent article 10 with the absorbent article 10 facing straight with respect to the body, the XYZ axis directions are inclined to the seated posture (see FIG. 8( a )), and the upward posture (see FIG. 8 ) (b)], and the posture of leaning up and sideways (to the left) [see Fig. 8(c)] is different. The state of wearing the absorbent article 10 in a straight orientation with respect to the body means a state in which the wearer wears the absorbent article 10 so that the front-rear direction of the wearer matches the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article 10 . On the other hand, there are cases where even if the posture when wearing the absorbent article 10 is the same posture, for example, The absorbent article 10 is worn in a state in which the orientation of the absorbent article 10 is inclined to the left and right with respect to the orientation of the body. In this case, the inclination of each axis direction of the XYZ axes differs depending on the direction in which the absorbent article 10 is worn (the contact method of the absorbent article 10 ). The wearing state determination unit 71 specifies the inclination of the acceleration sensor 34 based on the output values of the XYZ axes of the acceleration sensor 34 in the respective axial directions. That is, the inclination data of the acceleration sensor 34 is the output value of the inclination of each axis direction of the XYZ axis.

The method of identifying the inclination of the absorbent article 10 by the wearing state determination unit 71 using the acceleration sensor 34 of the data collection unit 30 is not limited to the method shown in FIGS. 8( a ) to ( c ), and any method may be used.

The wearing state determining unit 71 of the posture determining unit 70 determines the inclination of the absorbent article 10 in consideration of the influence of the posture when the absorbent article 10 is worn. Specifically, according to the inclination of the acceleration sensor 34, that is, the output values of the three axes of the XYZ axes obtained by the acceleration sensor 34, the absorbent article 10 is worn straight after verifying the inclination and the orientation with respect to the body. The inclination of the absorbent article 10 was determined based on the wearing state determination table shown in Table 1 and the wearing state determination flow shown in FIG. In Table 1 and FIG. 9, the so-called "upper horizontal" of the inclination of the absorbent article 10 means that the abdominal area A of the back sheet 11b is positioned on the "upper" side in the vertical direction, and the urine absorbing pad 11 The urine-absorbing pad 11 is placed in such a manner that its longitudinal direction becomes substantially horizontal (horizontal) with respect to the direction orthogonal to the vertical direction. In addition, "upwardly inclined" means that the ventral region A of the back sheet 11b is positioned on the "upper" side in the vertical direction, and the longitudinal direction of the urine-absorbing pad 11 is raised along the height relative to the vertical direction. The state in which the urine-absorbing pad 11 is placed in such a manner that the head side of the Y-axis in the direction is inclined. In addition, the "downward slope" means that the ventral region A of the back sheet 11b is positioned on the "upper" side in the vertical direction, and the longitudinal direction of the urine-absorbing pad 11 is lowered relative to the vertical direction along the height direction. the Y axis The state where the urine-absorbing pad 11 is placed with the head side tilted. In addition, the term "lower horizontal" means that the ventral region A of the back sheet 11b is positioned on the "lower" side in the vertical direction, and the longitudinal direction of the urine-absorbing pad 11 becomes a direction orthogonal to the vertical direction. The urine-absorbing pad 11 is placed in a substantially horizontal (horizontal) manner. The inclinations of the absorbent articles 10 (urine-absorbing pads 11 ) are further classified into leftward and rightward directions according to the output value of the X-axis. In the present embodiment, when the absorbent article 10 is worn straight with respect to the orientation of the body, among the inclinations of the absorbent article 10, "upward horizontal" corresponds to upward tilting, "upwardly inclined" corresponds to sitting, and "downward slope" corresponds to sitting. "Incline" corresponds to bent knees, and "downward horizontal" corresponds to the manner of leaning over, and there is a tendency that the inclination of the absorbent article 10 corresponds to each posture.

For example, when the absorbent article 10 is worn straight with respect to the orientation of the body, and the inclination (output value) of the acceleration sensor 34 is 170 on the X axis, 170 on the Y axis, and 125 on the Z axis, the absorbent article 10 The inclination of the (urine-absorbing pad 11 ) is “upside-down”, and when the absorbent article 10 is in such an inclination, the wearer wears the absorbent article in a generally tilted posture. That is, the wearing state determination unit 71 of the present embodiment determines the above-mentioned "top horizontal" as "the absorbent article when the wearer is wearing on his back, based on the output values of 170 for the X-axis, 170 for the Y-axis, and 125 for the Z-axis. The inclination is "up horizontal".

Regarding the determination of the inclination of the absorbent article 10 by the wearing state determining unit 71 of the posture determining unit 70, the wearing state determination flow shown in FIG. Cases are explained. For example, when the output value of the Z-axis is compared with the wearing state determination table of Table 1, when it is 218 or more, the inclination of the absorbent article 10 is determined as "downward horizontal". In this case, the posture of the wearer has the tendency to lean over. tendency. When the output value of the inclined Z-axis of the absorbent article 10 is 217 or less, the output value of the Y-axis is compared with the wearing state judgment table in Table 1. When it is 160 or less, the output value of the absorbent article 10 is The inclination is judged as "slope", and then the output value of the X-axis is compared with the wearing state judgment table in Table 1. As a result, when the output value of the X-axis was 150 or less, the inclination of the absorbent article 10 was determined to be "upwardly inclined to the right", and when the output value of the X-axis was 180 or more, the inclination of the absorbent article 10 was The tilt is judged as "slope left". In the case where the output value of the X-axis is 150 or less but not 180 or more, the inclination of the absorbent article 10 is determined to be "upward inclination". In the present embodiment, when the inclination of the absorbent article 10 is "upwardly inclined to the right", the posture of the wearer has a tendency to face the right side while sitting. In addition, when the inclination of the absorbent article 10 is "up inclined to the left", the posture of the wearer has a tendency to face leftward while sitting sideways.

In addition, when the output value of the Z-axis is 217 or less, the output value of the Y-axis is compared with the wearing state judgment table of Table 1, and when it is 181 or more, the inclination of the absorbent article 10 is judged as " Downward slope”, and then compare the output value of the X-axis with the wearing state judgment table in Table 1. As a result, when the output value of the X-axis is 150 or less, the inclination of the absorbent article 10 is determined to be "downwardly inclined to the right", and when the output value of the X-axis is 180 or more, the absorbent article 10 The tilt is judged as "downward tilt to the left". When the output value of the X-axis is less than 150 but not more than 180, it is determined that the inclination of the posture in front of the bent knee is "slope". In the present embodiment, when the inclination of the absorbent article 10 is "downwardly inclined to the right", the posture of the wearer has a tendency to bend his knees and turn to the right. In addition, when the inclination of the absorbent article 10 is "downwardly inclined to the left", the posture of the wearer has a tendency to bend his knees and turn to the left.

Furthermore, when the output value of the Z axis is 217 or less, the output value of the Y axis is compared with the wearing state judgment table in Table 1, and when it is 160 or less but not 181 or more, the absorbent article 10 The inclination is determined as "up horizontal", and then the output value of the X-axis is compared with that in Table 1. Wear state judgment table for comparison. As a result, when the output value of the X-axis was 150 or less, the inclination of the inclined absorbent article 10 in the posture of leaning up and facing the right was determined as "upward and rightward". In the case where the output value of the X-axis is 180 or more, the inclination of the inclined absorbent article 10 in the posture of leaning up and turning left is determined as "upward and leftward". When the output value of the X-axis is less than 150 but not more than 180, it is determined that the tilt is "up horizontal" when the posture is tilted upward. In the present embodiment, when the inclination of the absorbent article 10 is in the case of "upward and horizontally facing the right", the posture of the wearer tends to lean upward and turn to the right. In addition, when the inclination of the absorbent article 10 is "upside and leftward", the posture of the wearer tends to turn upside down and turn leftward.

In this way, the wearing state determining unit 71 of the posture determining unit 70 can determine that the inclination of the absorbent article 10 is "downward", "upward", "upwardly sideways", "upwardly inclined", "upwardly inclined sideways", " Which of the "slope down" and "slope down sideways". The "horizontal" in the various postures such as "upside-down sideways" and "inclined sideways" refers to facing right or left. In addition, in the present embodiment, the wearing state determination unit 71 considers the posture of the wearer as a factor that affects the inclination of the absorbent article 10 and performs determination in the interior, but depending on the method of contacting the urine pad, it may not necessarily be determined. Since the absorbent article 10 is always worn straight with respect to the orientation of the body, the actual absorbent article 10 can be accurately determined by taking into account the influence of the orientation of the absorbent article 10 with respect to the orientation of the body at the time of wearing. the inclination.

The wearing state determination part 71 of the posture determination part 70 may determine the positional deviation of the absorbent article 10 in addition to the inclination of the absorbent article 10 . The so-called positional displacement of the absorbent article 10 refers to, for example, the position of wearing from the crotch region C of the absorbent article 10 (urine-absorbing pad 11 ) and the wearer's excretory portion (crotch portion), and the absorbent A state in which the article 10 is shifted in the front-rear direction (longitudinal direction Y) or the left-right direction (width direction X), or a state in which the article 10 is shifted in the thickness direction of the absorbent article 10 . The positional shift of the absorbent article 10 is due to the absorption in the wearing state When the movement amount K of the absorbent article 10 calculated by the following formula (1) is 2 or more, the absorbent article 10 is moved and it is determined that the positional displacement of the absorbent article 10 has occurred. That is, the wearing state determination part 71 determines the presence or absence of the positional shift of the absorbent article 10 at the time of measurement based on the movement amount K of the absorbent article 10 at the time of measurement of the acceleration sensor 34 .

In the following formula (1), n is the number of data of each output value (inclination data) in the three directions of the XYZ axis measured at a specific time interval. Specifically, the movement amount K of the absorbent article 10 is calculated|required from the following formula (1) based on 60 data of each output value of the said 3 directions. In the present embodiment, the output values in the three directions of the XYZ axes were measured 60 times in 10 minutes. That is, in the present embodiment, each of the output values in the above-mentioned three directions is measured once every 10 seconds. The time interval of the measurement can be arbitrarily set, and the number of measurements n can also be arbitrarily set.

(In the formula, x is the output value in the X-axis direction, y is the output value in the Y-axis direction, z is the output value in the Z-axis direction, n=60)

The data related to the presence or absence of the inclination and the positional displacement of the absorbent article 10 are stored in the wetness information table 95 of the database 90 . More specifically, these data are supplied from the wearing state determination unit 71 to the wetness information table 95, and are associated with the above-mentioned wetness time (urination time data) and urine absorption (urination data) stored in the wetness information table 95, and Saved in the wet information table 95. Hereinafter, the information related to the wet time and the presence or absence of the inclination and positional displacement of the absorbent article 10 at the time will also be referred to as information of the wearing state when wet.

The information output unit 72 of the posture determination unit 70 outputs information on the wearing state of the absorbent article 10 during urination. The proposed device 1 of the abutting method of the absorbent article of the present embodiment is based on The information of the wearing state of the absorbent article 10 during urination, which is stored in the wetness information table 95, is output from the information output unit 72 to the display unit 101 of the information processing device 100. As shown in FIG. 10 , on the display portion 101, the time period corresponding to the wetting time and the information related to the inclination and positional displacement of the absorbent article 10 are displayed. Specifically, the time schedule when the absorbent article 10 of the present embodiment is worn for 24 hours is displayed, and the column corresponding to the wet time, that is, the column with the wet time, is colored, and the absorbent article 10 is also displayed. information on the inclination and position offset (see Figure 10). In FIG. 10, the inclination of an absorbent article is shown as "inclination of a diaper". For example, regarding the amount of urine absorption, the coloring of the column from 12:00 pm to 12:15 pm is darker than that of the column from 11:45 am to 12:00 pm. This means urination when wet during the period from 11:45 am to 12:15 pm. Moreover, the inclination of the absorbent article 10 in the time period from 11:45 am to 12:15 pm is shown as the inclination of the "up inclination". In addition, it is shown that the inclination of the absorbent article 10 has changed from the "downward slope" to the "upward horizontal" inclination from the time point of 3:45 am, and the absorbent article 10 has been displaced. That is, it turned out that the inclination of the absorbent article 10 was changed by the turning over of the wearer at 3:45 a.m., and a positional displacement occurred. In addition, when the urine leakage is found after 3:45 am, it is expected that the change in the inclination of the absorbent article 10 or the positional shift at 3:45 am will be the cause of the urine leakage.

In this way, when urine leakage is found on the absorbent article 10 worn by the care recipient, the caregiver can use the following contact method proposal section 80 according to the wearing at the time of wetness before the time when the urine leakage was found. state, and grasp the wearing state that may be the cause of urine leakage. In addition, the caregiver or the like can adjust the contact method (wearing state) of the absorbent article 10 and other urine leakage in accordance with the proposal provided by the contacting method proposal unit 80 based on the wearing state of the absorbent article 10 when the urine leakage is detected. Preventive measures.

In this embodiment, the urination data memory unit 50 includes a urine absorption amount calculation unit 53. The urine absorption amount calculation unit 53 estimates the urine absorption amount measured at each urination time based on the impedance. As shown in FIG. 10 , the information output unit 72 of the posture determination unit 70 outputs the information of the urine absorption amount estimated by the urine absorption amount calculation unit 53 together with the information of the wearing state when wet due to urination. . As shown in FIG. 10 , the information of the urine absorption amount of the present embodiment is changed according to the urine absorption amount in the column of the time period corresponding to the wet time. By outputting the information on the urine absorption capacity together with the information on the wearing state when wet due to urination, the caregiver can use the absorbent article with the absorption capacity matching the urine absorption capacity, thereby effectively preventing urine leakage. . The so-called absorbent article with an absorption capacity matching the urine absorption capacity refers to an absorbent article having an absorption capacity larger than the urine absorption capacity. For example, in the time schedule shown in FIG. 10, no urine leakage is found at 9:00 am and 11:00 am, and when urine leakage is found at 1:00 pm, the time between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm is shown in FIG. 10. The change in the inclination of the absorbent article 10 and the positional shift did not occur during the period. Therefore, it is suggested that the urine leakage found at 1:00 pm was not caused by a change in the inclination of the absorbent article or a positional shift. Therefore, it is suggested that an absorbent article having an absorption capacity larger than the urine absorption capacity in the period from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm should be used as a preventive measure against urine leakage. In this way, the information output unit 64 preferably outputs the information on the amount of urine absorbed together with the information on the wearing state when wet.

The data information of the wetting pattern shown in FIG. 10 represents the amount of urine absorbed per 15 minutes in the shade of color corresponding to the amount. That is, the darker the color, the larger the urine absorption amount, and the lighter the color, the smaller the urine absorption amount. In FIG. 10 , as the frequency of urination increases, the amount of urine discharged to the absorbent article 10 increases, so that the color indicating the amount of urine absorption becomes darker with the frequency of urination. In addition, when the absorbent article is replaced, the urine absorption amount becomes 0, and the column of the urine absorption amount corresponding to the replacement time of the absorbent article becomes colorless (white). In addition, the column of the amount of urine absorption changes from light color to dark color according to the amount of urine absorption. The amount of urine absorption can also be displayed in stages by letters, symbols, etc. corresponding to the amount. In addition, the display of wetness when there is wetness can also be only when there is wetness carve.

The contact method proposal part 80 of the advising device 1 constituting the contact method of the absorbent article of the present embodiment proposes a contact method of the absorbent article 10 to the wearer when the absorbent article 10 is replaced. That is, the contact method proposal unit 80 specifies the time period when the absorbent article 10 in which the urine leakage occurred is worn based on, for example, the time when the urine leakage from the absorbent article 10 is confirmed input by the caregiver, and is memorized based on the urination data. According to the data stored in the database 90 by the part 50 and the inclination data memory part 60, it is estimated that leakage from the absorbent article 10 occurred during the time period based on the posture of the wearer during urination in the time period determined by the posture determination part 70. Therefore, a method of contacting the absorbent article 10 in which urine leakage does not occur from the estimated site is suggested.

More specifically, the contact method proposal unit 80 can visually detect urine leakage by, for example, a caregiver, etc., and input the information of the time when the urine leakage was found, and then the detection time memory unit 81 can memorize the urine leakage detection time. Go to the wet information table 95 of the database 90. In addition, the information output unit 82 of the contact method proposal unit 80 can output the information on the wearing state of the absorbent article 10 when the absorbent article 10 is wet due to urination, and the information on the time when urine leakage was detected, stored in the wet information table 95 to The display unit 101 of the information processing device 100 and the like. The contact method proposal unit 80 can also recognize the occurrence of urine leakage from the absorbent article 10 by recording the detection time of urine leakage in the wetness information table 95 . In addition, another urination sensor may be pre-installed on the diaper body 12, and the urination sensor may detect the impedance change caused by urine leaked from the urine-absorbing pad 11, thereby recognizing the occurrence of urine leakage. Alternatively, the usage period of the absorbent article 10 used when the urine leakage is found can be compared with the urination time based on the wetness information, and the urination time can be regarded as the occurrence time of the urine leakage.

As shown in FIG. 12 , the contacting method proposal unit 80 detects the urine leakage from the absorbent article 10 at 10:15 pm, and then speculates the time period when the urine leakage occurs based on the amount of urine absorption (urination data). . After specifying the period of urine leakage, according to the acceleration sensor 34 From the inclination of the diaper obtained from the inclination data, the posture of the wearer at the time of urination determined by the posture determining unit 70 is estimated and specified. After specifying the posture of the wearer at the time of occurrence of urine leakage, based on the specified posture of the wearer during urination, it is estimated that the part where urine leaks from the absorbent article 10 occurs during the period, and it is recommended to match the position of the wearer with the specified posture. The method of contacting a diaper (absorbent article) that matches the posture of the wearer when urinating is used as a method of contacting the absorbent article that does not leak urine from the estimated site.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as described above, the contact method proposal unit 80 can preferably estimate whether the absorbent article 10 is biased in the time period based on the inclination data of the time period memorized by the inclination data memory unit 60 The proposal when it is assumed that the deviation has occurred is also included, and the contact method of the absorbent article 10 is suggested.
