Abstract

An excrement judgement system according to the embodiment including: an acquisition unit that acquires image information on an image in which excrement excreted in a defecation action per time is captured; a determination unit that determines properties of a plurality of stools included in the image information and stool amounts corresponding to the properties of the plurality of stools; and an outputting unit that associates the properties of the plurality of stools and the stool amounts corresponding to the properties of the plurality of stools that are determined by the determination unit, and outputs the associated properties and stool amounts to a device to be displayed.

Claims (29)

1. An excrement judgement system comprising:

an acquisition device that acquires image information including information on a plurality of stools excreted in a defecation action;

a determination device that determines types of a defining property, which is based on stool hardness, of the plurality of stools included in the image information and stool amounts corresponding the types of the plurality of stools; and

an outputting device that outputs a content associating the types of the plurality of stools with the stool amounts to a device to be displayed,

wherein the content comprises a first association between a first type of the plurality of stools and a first stool amount and a second association between a second type of the plurality of stools and a second stool amount, and

wherein the first association and the second association each are distinctly displayed at the device.

2. The excrement judgement system according to claim 1 , wherein

the outputting unit outputs, in a case where there presents two or more stools having a same type among the plurality of stools for which types are determined, a total value of the stool amounts of the two or more stools having the same type.

3. The excrement judgement system according to claim 1 , wherein

the outputting unit outputs, based on the types of the plurality of stools in the defecation action, a representative value of the types of the stools.

4. An excrement judgement system comprising:

an acquisition unit that acquires image information including information on a plurality of stools excreted in a defecation action;

a determination unit that determines types of a defining property, which is based on stool hardness, of the plurality of stools included in the image information and stool amounts corresponding the types of the plurality of stools; and

an outputting unit that associates the types of the plurality of stools with the stool amounts corresponding to the types and outputs the associated types and the stool amounts to a device to be displayed,

wherein the outputting unit outputs, for a stool, a representative value of a type, of the types, of the stool, and

wherein the representative value of the type is based on a ratio of a stool amount, of the stool amounts, corresponding to the type, to a total amount of the stool amounts in the defecation action.

5. An excrement judgement method comprising:

acquiring image information including information on the plurality of stools excreted in a defecation action;

determining types of a defining property, which is based on stool hardness, of the plurality of stools included in the image information and stool amounts corresponding to the types of the plurality of stools; and

associating the types of the plurality of stools and the stool amounts corresponding to the types of the plurality of stools; and

outputting a content associated the types of the plurality of stools and the stool amounts to a device to be displayed,

wherein the content comprises a first association between a first type of the plurality of stools and a first stool amount and a second association between a second type of the plurality of stools and a second stool amount, and

wherein the first association and the second association each are distinctly displayed at the device.

6. An excrement judgement device comprising:

an acquisition unit that acquires image information including information on a plurality of stools excreted in a defecation action;

a determination unit that determines types of a defining property, which is based on stool hardness, of the plurality of stools included in the image information and stool amounts corresponding to the types of the plurality of stools; and

an outputting unit that outputs a content associating the types of the plurality of stools and the stool amounts to a device to be displayed,

wherein the content comprises a first association between a first type of the plurality of stools and a first stool amount and a second association between a second type of the plurality of stools and a second stool amount, and

wherein the first association and the second association each are distinctly displayed at the device.
