For example, in FIG. 4, when the control information 2n is updated, it is preferable to further extract the telephone number 5n corresponding to the identification information 4n.

  Further, when the communication address 3 of the biometric information input device 11 is extracted, the bidirectional communication device 13 transmits the control information 2 via the communication network 51 toward the communication address 3 of the biometric information input device 11 to be extracted. As described above, when the control information 2 stored in the database server 12 is updated, the bidirectional communication device 13 automatically transmits the control information 2 to the biological information input device 11.

You can also enter and send comments. The input comment is stored in the database server 12 in association with the identification information, and only the terminal device having a communication address permitted to view the comment can be viewed.

  When the alarm information 6 indicating that an emergency is required is notified to the data center 53, the data center 53 can automatically transmit the alarm information 6 to the personal terminal device 14A. The personal terminal device 14A displays that the alarm information 6 has been transmitted from the biometric information input device 11.

In addition, the analysis server 31 may determine that it is within the numerical range. If the analysis notification information 7 is within a predetermined numerical range or outside the predetermined numerical range, it is notified whether the biological information 1 is a normal value or an abnormal value. be able to. In this way, the analysis server 31 automatically analyzes the biological information 1 and promptly notifies the terminal device 14 whether the biological information 1 stored in the database server 12 is a normal value or an abnormal value. be able to.
