Note that these measurement data are rearranged by the mobile terminal device 1 according to a predetermined priority at the time of transmission, so that the order of measurement may be arbitrary. The connection between the measurement device such as the blood glucose meter 2a and the portable terminal device 1 is not limited to the cable connection, but may be a wireless connection using home RF, BlueTooth, or the like.

When the measurement is completed, the user transmits the measurement data from the portable terminal device 1 to the hospital.

Note that the portable terminal device 1 can store a plurality of user information (name, user ID, etc.) and a plurality of data transmission destination information (addresses of hospitals, inspection institutions, etc.). It has become. Also, according to the combination of the user and the transmission destination, it is possible to set the items of the data to be transmitted, the priority order of the data at the time of transmission, and which ID to use as the ID to be added to the transmission data. it can.

Specifically, for example, when one portable terminal device 1 is shared by a family of four (A to D),
In the mobile terminal device 1, four names A, B, C, and D and user IDs can be registered. For example, as a data transmission destination of Mr. B, a data processing device of a fitness club (the data processing device 3a shown in FIG. 1) and a data processing device of a diabetic outpatient of a hospital (the data processing device 3b shown in FIG. 1).
Locations can be registered.

If it is set so that data of a weight scale (not shown) and data of the sphygmomanometer 2b are transmitted in this order, it is convenient for a fitness club receiving this data in data processing.

For example, when Mr. B sends three types of measurement data of a blood glucose level, a urine analysis result, and a blood pressure to a diabetic clinic in a hospital, the blood glucose level is most important because It is most convenient for the processing by the data processing device on the receiving side to have the blood glucose level at the head of the measurement data.

Further, in order to enable the data processing device or the like on the receiving side to identify who the transmitted data is, the data to be transmitted has an ID for identifying the user (the transmission ID).
D) is required, but as described above,
The mobile terminal device 1 is set in advance to use a user ID or the like registered in any one of the measurement devices according to the data processing device on the receiving side.

For example, Mr. B has been lent a blood glucose meter 2a from a diabetic clinic who has been examined, and the blood glucose meter 2a uses the patient ID assigned to Mr. B by the hospital. If the user ID of the blood glucose meter 2a is registered at the time of lending, the user ID of the blood glucose meter 2a may be set to the above-mentioned ID at the time of transmission. Most convenient. If the body fat meter 2d is lent from the fitness club and the membership number of Mr. B of the fitness club is registered as the user ID in the body fat meter 2d, the user ID of the body fat meter 2d is transmitted. This is convenient in data processing of the fitness club.

It is also possible to use a transmission ID other than the user ID registered in any of the measuring devices. In this case, the ID used as the transmission ID is replaced with the portable terminal. It can be registered in the device 1.

The user can directly set the data transmission priority and the transmission ID at the portable terminal device 1. However, the portable terminal device 1 is connected to the data processing device on the data receiving side via the communication network 4.

The user selects his / her name from among 1 and selects the decision button 102.

As a result, the screen display of the portable terminal device 1 changes, and a screen for selecting a transmission destination appears as shown in FIG. On this screen, a list 103 of facility names registered in advance as a transmission destination of the measurement data of Mr. B is displayed. Here, from the facility name list 103, Mr. B selects outpatients for diabetes as the destination, and selects the OK button 104.

As a result, the screen display of the portable terminal device 1 is further changed, and a confirmation screen of the transmission procedure is displayed as shown in FIG. This confirmation screen is used to identify the name of the destination of the measurement data, a transmission destination display column 105, the order of the measurement data to be transmitted, a transmission order display column 106, and to identify the measurement data to be transmitted. A transmission ID display field 107 for displaying an ID, an enter button 108,
And a change button 109.

On the confirmation screen shown in FIG. 8C, if Mr. B wants to change the data transmission order and the transmission ID, the change button 109 is selected to display a screen for changing these. be able to. On the other hand, FIG.
When Mr. B selects the OK button 108 on the confirmation screen of (c), the measurement data of Mr. B stored in the mobile terminal device 1 is transmitted via the communication network 5 and the server 4 to a hospital for diabetes outpatients. Is transmitted to the data processing device 3b.

In this case, the blood glucose meter 2a is used as the transmission ID.
Is set to use the user ID registered in the mobile terminal device 1, the mobile terminal device 1 is set with the user ID included in the measurement data (see FIG. 4) transmitted from the blood glucose meter 2a at the top. The measurement data is combined in accordance with the priority order, that is, in the order of the blood sugar level, the urine analysis result, and the blood pressure, to create transmission data as shown in FIG.

The transmission data is sent via the communication network 5 and the server 4 to the data processing device 3b for outpatients with diabetes, which is the destination, and received. In the data processing device 3b,
Since the ID added to the head of the transmitted data is the user ID of the blood glucose meter 2a lent to the patient from this diabetes outpatient, that is, the patient ID, the transmitted data is transmitted from any patient. Can be easily identified. In addition, the transmitted data, the measurement data is arranged in the order that seems to be regarded as important on the receiving side, especially when the transmitted data is displayed on the screen in text format or printed out, etc. It becomes easy for a doctor or the like to identify the data.

In the present embodiment, a unique device ID is assigned to a measuring device lent to a user from a hospital or the like, and this device ID is transmitted from the measuring device to the portable terminal device 1 together with the measurement data. It has become. That is, for example, when lending the sphygmomanometer 2b to observe the blood pressure of a cataract patient or the like from an ophthalmological outpatient, if the device ID of the sphygmomanometer 2b is registered in the ophthalmic outpatient data processing device 3c, Using the device ID, the measurement data of the patient can be specified.

The server 4 also stores measurement results obtained by measuring devices other than the measuring device lent from a hospital or the like. That is, from the portable information terminal 1, the first embodiment
As described in, for example, data measured by a plurality of types of measurement devices, such as a blood glucose value measured by the blood glucose meter 2a, a blood pressure measured by the blood pressure monitor 2b, and a urine analysis result by the urine analyzer 2c, are transmitted together. The information is stored in the server 4 for each user.

Therefore, the data processing device 3a and the like use the device ID of the lent measurement device as a search key to obtain not only the measurement data of the measurement device but also other measurement devices for the patient using the measurement device. Measurement data can be obtained.

Thus, for example, when the above-mentioned cataract patient with ophthalmic outpatients has diabetic cataract, an ophthalmologist
From the server 4, not only the measurement data of the sphygmomanometer 2b lent to the patient but also, for example, the blood glucose level data measured by the blood glucose meter 2a lent to the patient from a diabetic clinic can be obtained. That is, the ophthalmological outpatient data processing device 3c can access the measurement data of the blood glucose meter 2a without knowing the device ID of the blood glucose meter 2a.

In the server 4, each of the data processing devices 3a... May be charged for accessing the measurement data stored in the storage device. In this case, it is conceivable to set a higher access fee to the measurement data of the other device than the access fee to the measurement data of the device having the device ID serving as the search key. For example, in the case of an ophthalmological outpatient data processing device 3c that uses the device ID of a sphygmomanometer lent to a patient as a search key, an access fee to blood glucose data, urine analysis results, and the like may be set higher than blood pressure data. It is possible.

Further, from the viewpoint of maintaining data security and protecting personal privacy, the types of accessible measurement data may be limited for each data processing device. For example, all data can be accessed from the hospital data processing devices 3b and 3c, while the fitness club data processing device 3a can access measurement data such as the body fat scale 2d and the weight scale. It is conceivable to prevent access to data that can determine an individual's medical condition or the like, such as measurement data from a blood glucose meter or a urine analyzer.

In the first and second embodiments, the example in which the portable terminal device 1 is used as the data transmission / reception device has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the portable device, and a home personal computer, for example, may be used. Further, the present invention can be implemented as a portable terminal device or a computer in which the function of the data transmitting / receiving device of the present invention is incorporated in advance. The data transmission / reception device of the present invention can be realized by causing a terminal device or a computer to read and execute the program.

Similarly, for the data management device and the data processing device of the present invention, a program for executing the function is created, and the program is stored in an arbitrary computer such as a general personal computer, a workstation, or a host computer. Is read and executed.
