Abstract

According to the present disclosure, a method includes, wherein a processor, acquiring an activity quantity data of an animal, calculating an exercise consumption energy quantity of the animal based on the activity quantity data, calculating an estimation consumption energy quantity of the animal based on an information of a body weight of the animal, correcting the estimated consumption energy quantity of the animal using the exercise consumption energy quantity of the animal, and outputting an information related to the corrected estimation consumption energy quantity.

Claims (46)

1 . A method, wherein a processor includes:

acquiring an activity quantity data of an animal;

calculating an exercise consumption energy quantity of the animal based on the activity quantity data;

calculating an estimation consumption energy quantity of the animal based on an information of a body weight of the animal;

correcting the estimated consumption energy quantity of the animal using the exercise consumption energy quantity of the animal; and

outputting the information related to the corrected estimation consumption energy quantity,

wherein the information is related to a recommendation feed quantity of the animal based on the corrected estimated energy consumption quantity,

outputting the recommendation feed quantity of the animal is, including, based on an ingestion calorie quantity per a weight for a predetermined food, and

outputting the recommendation feed quantity of the predetermined food.

2 . The method according to claim 1 ,

outputs the information related to the recommendation feed quantity of the animal based on the information acquired by comparing a current body shape of the animal and an ideal body shape of the animal.

3 . The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor further includes:

specifying the predetermined food based on at least one of an individual characteristic of the animal and the corrected estimation consumption energy quantity.

4 . The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor,

further acquires the information on an ingestion quantity of an actual food of the animal, and

further outputs the information based on comparing between the ingestion quantity of the actual food and the recommendation feed quantity.

5 . The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor calculates the estimation consumption energy quantity of the animal based on the information of an ideal body weight of the animal.

6 . The method according to claim 5 ,

wherein the information of the ideal body weight is acquired based on the information of the weight of the animal and a body type information of the animal.

7 . The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor calculates the estimation consumption energy quantity of the animal further based on the information related to a life stage of the animal.

8 . The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein correcting the estimation consumption energy quantity of the animal, includes, not only excluding a predetermined percentage of a consumption energy quantity corresponding to an exercise of the animal in the estimation consumption energy quantity, but also adding the exercise consumption energy quantity of the animal calculated based on an acquired activity quantity data.

9 . The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein, the activity quantity data is acquired based on an amplitude of an acceleration data acquired by an acceleration sensor attached to or mounted to the animal.

10 . An information processing device comprising:

an acquisition unit acquires the activity quantity data of the animal;

an exercise consumption energy quantity calculation unit calculates the exercise consumption energy quantity of the animal based on the activity quantity data;

an estimation consumption energy quantity calculation unit calculates the estimation consumption energy quantity of the animal based on the information of the body weight of the animal;

a correction processing unit corrects the estimated consumption energy quantity of the animal using the exercise consumption energy quantity of the animal; and

an output control unit outputs the information related to the corrected estimation consumption energy quantity,

wherein the information is related to a recommendation feed quantity of the animal based on the corrected estimated energy consumption quantity,

outputting the recommendation feed quantity of the animal is, including, based on an ingestion calorie quantity per a weight for a predetermined food, and

outputting the recommendation feed quantity of the predetermined food.

11 . A program functionalizes to a computer such as:

the acquisition unit acquires the activity quantity data of the animal;

the exercise consumption energy quantity calculation unit calculates the exercise consumption energy quantity of the animal based on the activity data;

the estimation consumption energy quantity calculation unit calculates the estimation consumption energy quantity of the animal based on the information of the body weight of the animal;

the correction processing unit corrects the estimated consumption energy quantity of the animal using the exercise consumption energy quantity of the animal; and

the output control unit outputs the information related to the corrected estimation consumption energy quantity,

wherein the information is related to a recommendation feed quantity of the animal based on the corrected estimated energy consumption quantity,

outputting the recommendation feed quantity of the animal is, including, based on an ingestion calorie quantity per a weight for a predetermined food, and

outputting the recommendation feed quantity of the predetermined food.
