Conventionally, a biometric information acquisition system that uses a measuring instrument management program or the like that operates on a client such as a PC or a mobile phone and manages measurement values on an external PC or server has a user number stored in the measuring instrument. By associating the user ID with the management program, the user is identified and continuous data management is realized.

  Specifically, in the normal biological information acquisition system, for example, the measurement value of the user A who used the user number A of the measuring device is stored in the measuring device as the measured value of the user number A.

  In such a situation, for example, when the user A who used the user number A of the measuring device stops using it and the user B takes over the user number A of the measuring device, Is a state in which the measurement value of the user A remains, and if the user B uses the user number A as it is, the measurement value of the user B is recorded after the measurement value of the user A, and as a result, the user There is a problem that the measurement value of B is stored in a state where the measurement value of user A is mixed.

  For example, before user B starts using, the measurement value of user A stored as user number A in the measuring device may be erasable, but there is a possibility of erasing without user A's consent, There is a problem in leaving the user to delete the measurement values of other people already registered.

  On the other hand, the biometric information acquisition system 1 according to the first embodiment deletes the registered measurement value after transferring it to the recording device when the user continues to use the registered user number. The purpose is to improve the convenience for the user by changing the registered user without any problem. Hereinafter, it will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

  Thereby, the body composition meter 40 measures the weight and impedance of the user by the measuring unit 45, stores the measurement result together with the user number information and the external management ID information of the user, and communicates with the user terminal 30. can do. The measurement result management table 72 may also store the measurement time.

Next, user registration processing for using the body composition meter 40 in the biological information acquisition system 1 having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the user operates his / her user terminal 30 to start a management application (hereinafter referred to as a management application) and logs in by inputting his / her external management ID (step s1). When the user logs in, the user terminal 30 can communicate with the connected body composition meter 40 and the server 10. At this time, it may be configured to log in by entering a password together.

  After logging in, the user selects measuring instrument user registration at the user terminal 30 (step s2), and selects a user number for registering his / her external management ID (step s3).

  When the confirmation of whether or not to register the external management ID is displayed for the selected user number and “No” indicating that the ID is not to be registered is selected (Step s4: No), “Registration has been interrupted” and the user It is displayed on the display unit 33 of the terminal 30 (step s5), and this user registration process is terminated.

  On the contrary, when “Yes” for registration is selected (step s4: Yes), the user terminal 30 reads the external management ID corresponding to the user number from the body composition meter 40 (step s6).

  At this time, when the external management ID corresponding to the user number, that is, the external management ID of the previous user corresponding to the user number (hereinafter referred to as the previous user external management ID) is not registered, The user terminal 30 registers the external management ID in the user number of the body composition meter 40 (step s8), and ends the user registration process.

  At this time, if the previous user external management ID corresponding to the user number has already been registered, the display unit 33 of the user terminal 30 “data of another person is registered in this user number” Is displayed (step s9), confirmation of whether or not to continue registration of the external management ID is displayed, and if "No" indicating that registration is not continued is selected (step s10: No), "registration is suspended" Is displayed ”on the display unit 33 of the user terminal 30 (step s11), and this user registration process is terminated.

  On the contrary, when “Yes” for registration is selected (step s10: Yes), the user terminal 30 obtains the measured value of the previous user external management ID corresponding to the user number from the body composition meter 40, Read from the measurement result management table 72 stored in the storage unit (step s12), and transfer and store the measurement value information together with the previous user external management ID to the storage unit 14 of the server 10 (step s13). 30 deletes the measured value of the previous user external management ID corresponding to the user number from the measurement result management table 72 of the body composition meter 40 (step s14).

  Further, the user's mail address information corresponding to the previous user external management ID is read out from the user information management table 71 of the storage unit 14 of the server 10 and notified by e-mail that the user number has been changed ( In step s15), a new external management ID is registered for the user number from which the measured value of the previous user external management ID has been deleted (step s8), and the user registration process is terminated.

  As described above, this biological information acquisition apparatus (biological information acquisition system 1) includes measurement means (body composition meter 40) for measuring biological information (weight and impedance), and the measurement means (body composition meter 40). In addition to the control means (user terminal 30) for controlling the user, the server 10 is provided, and the user composition information (external) of the user who uses the measurement means (body composition meter 40) is included in the body composition meter 40. User identification information storage means (measurement result management table 72) for storing management ID), and measurement result information (measurement value) of the user measured by the body composition meter 40, user identification information (for external management) Measurement result information storage means (measurement result management table 72) for storing in association with (ID).

  The control means (user terminal 30) accepts a request for storing user identification information (external management ID) in the user identification information storage means (measurement result management table 72). User identification information (external management ID) received by the means (control device 31 that executes steps s2 and s3) and the user identification information storage request receiving means (control device 31 that executes steps s2 and s3) ) Is already stored in the user identification information storage means (measurement result management table 72), the measurement result information storage means (measurement result management). In the table 72), the measurement result information (measurement value) and the user identification information (pre-user external management ID) of the registered user already stored are stored in the external storage. And the measurement result information (measurement value) of the registered user and the user identification information (pre-user external management) from the measurement result information storage means (measurement result management table 72) Transfer erasure control means (control device 31 for executing steps s12 to s14).

  Thereby, even if it is a case where the user number which the previous user who used the measurement means (body composition meter 40) used before is taken over and used, it is measured by the previous user in his own measured value. No value is mixed, and all the measured values of the previous user are transferred and stored in the external storage unit 14, so that the recorded data of the previous user is not lost.

  Moreover, even if it was a case where a user was registered accidentally with respect to the measuring device (body composition meter 40) which the former user who is another person used, it was memorize | stored in the measuring device (body composition meter 40). By transferring the measured value of the original user to the external storage unit 14, it is possible to prevent unexpected loss of the value data.

  The biometric information acquisition apparatus (biometric information acquisition system 1) stores contact information (e-mail address information) that can be contacted to the user in association with the user identification information (external management ID). Contact means for communicating that the user identification information (external management ID) and the user identification information storage means (measurement result management table 72) are associated with each other's contact information (control device for executing step s15) 31).

  For this reason, it is possible to notify the previous user that the external management ID of the new user has been registered to the user number that he / she has registered, so if the user registration is deliberately changed, Even if the user registration is changed by mistake, the user before the user registration was changed can check the contents of the change, and the newly registered user or the previous user registration Convenience can be improved for the user. It becomes possible for the previous user to know.

  Further, in the biometric information acquisition apparatus (biometric information acquisition system 1), the user identification information storage request accepting means (the control apparatus 31 that executes steps s2 and s3) is added to the control means (user terminal 30) by the user. When receiving a storage request for identification information (external management ID), different user identification information (pre-user external management ID) is already stored in the user identification information storage means (measurement result management table 72). Notification means (a control device 31 that executes step s9) is provided.

  As described above, as a countermeasure against an erroneous operation in which user identification information (external management ID) is erroneously registered in the user number already registered by the previous user by the user registering as a user, Since the user's external management ID can be notified, erroneous user registration can be prevented.

  In the present embodiment, the body composition meter 40 capable of measuring the weight and impedance of the user is used as the biological information acquisition means, but the weight scale capable of measuring only the body weight, the sphygmomanometer capable of measuring the blood pressure, and the number of steps of the user. Consists of a pedometer to measure, an activity meter to measure the amount of activity of the user, a thermometer to measure body temperature, an electrocardiograph to measure the current associated with the movement of the heart muscle, or a blood glucose meter to measure blood glucose level Also good.

  In the present embodiment, the body composition meter 40 is configured to be connected to the user terminal 30 used by the user by wire or wireless, but may be configured to be directly connected to the Internet 20.

Further, the user is configured to execute the user registration process using the user terminal 30, but is configured to access the server 10 from the user terminal 30 and perform the user registration process by the control unit 11 of the server 10. Also good.
In the present embodiment, the measurement value of the previous user is transferred to the storage unit 14 of the server 10. However, the measurement value may be transferred to an external HD having no server function.

Furthermore, the biometric information acquisition system 1 may be configured by only the user terminal 30 and the body composition meter 40 without including the server 10 in the biometric information acquisition system 1.
Instead of the user terminal 30, a mobile phone that can be carried by the user and can be connected to the Internet 20 via a packet communication network may be used.

Furthermore, although it was set as the structure which can register a some user with a some user number, the structure which registers one user number with respect to each of the body composition meter 40 may be sufficient.
Even in these configurations described above, the same effect can be obtained.

  Next, for example, as in the first embodiment, when the user is registered using the external management ID and the biometric information acquisition system is used, but the user loses the external management ID due to forgetting etc. Even so, a biometric information acquisition system 100 that can safely reissue an external management ID will be described in a second embodiment.

  Conventionally, a biometric information acquisition system that uses a measuring instrument management program or the like that operates on a client such as a PC or a mobile phone and manages measurement values on an external PC or server, as shown in the first embodiment described above. The user performs user registration processing using the external management ID, identifies the user, and realizes continuous data management.

  However, in such a biological information acquisition system, there is a risk that the external management ID by the user may be lost due to forgetting or the like. In that case, the user can be registered with a new independent external management ID and the system can be used. However, since the measured value data accumulated up to now is lost, this is not a satisfactory coping method for the user.

  Another method is to reconfirm information such as address, name, date of birth, and e-mail address by telephone, etc., specify the user, and then use a new external management ID and the original external management. A method of re-associating the measurement value managed by the business ID is conceivable.

  In this case, there is a problem that personal information such as address, name, and date of birth may be misused by a third party, and impersonation by a malicious third party cannot be avoided.

  Furthermore, the address and e-mail address may be changed, and may differ from the information registered in the server. The new external management ID and the measurement value managed by the original external management ID There was also a problem that it was not possible to reliably associate.

  Therefore, the biometric information acquisition system 100 according to the second embodiment combines, for example, the general information and the biometric information, even if the user forgets the external management ID, for example, a malicious third party. The purpose is to reliably prevent impersonation and improve convenience for users. Hereinafter, it will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

  5 shows a system configuration diagram of the biometric information acquisition system 100, FIG. 6 shows a block diagram showing the system configuration of the biometric information acquisition system 100, and FIG. 7 shows a management table of user information stored in the storage unit 14. An explanatory view is shown, and FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of re-account registration processing when the biometric information acquisition system 100 is used.

The biological information acquisition system 100 includes a server 10, a user terminal 30, a body composition meter 40, and a sphygmomanometer 150 connected to the Internet 20 by wire or wirelessly.
The sphygmomanometer 150 connected to the user terminal 30 includes a control unit 151, a communication unit 152, an operation unit 153, a display unit 154, a measurement unit 155, and the like.

The control unit 151 is configured by a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, or a microcomputer (microcomputer), and executes a control operation and a calculation operation of each unit according to a program stored in the ROM or the like.
The communication unit 152 is connected to the control unit 151 and the user terminal 30, and is configured to communicate with the user terminal 30 and the like in accordance with a control signal from the control unit 151.

The operation unit 153 includes a plurality of buttons that are pressed, and sends input information that has been pressed by the user, such as measurement start or measurement value transfer input, to the control unit 151.
The display unit 154 is configured by a display device such as a liquid crystal screen (see FIG. 5), and displays images such as characters and figures in accordance with image signals sent from the control unit 151.

The measuring unit 155 detects the blood pressure and the pulse wave by detecting the pressure in the cuff whose pressure is controlled by the pump with a pressure sensor.
Thereby, the sphygmomanometer 150 can measure the blood pressure and pulse wave of the user while communicating with the server 10 and the user terminal 30 via the user terminal 30.
Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same elements, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

  The server 10 stores a pulse wave waveform data in addition to user information including a mail address, sex, weight, and height as a contact information of the registered user by the management DB 14a stored in the storage unit 14. The wave file is stored and managed, and information necessary for operating the biological information acquisition system 100 is stored and managed.

  More specifically, as shown in the user information management table 171 of FIG. 7, the user information is a unique external management ID, name information, and user contact information set for each registered user. Certain mail address information, gender information, weight information, height information, pulse information measured by the sphygmomanometer 150, systolic blood pressure information and diastolic blood pressure information as blood pressure data, file ID of pulse wave file storing pulse wave waveform data, etc. Is stored.

Next, a temporary account registration process in the case of forgetting the external management ID registered by the user when using the biometric information acquisition system 100 having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the user operates his / her user terminal 30 to activate a management application to operate temporary account creation, and logs in to the biometric information acquisition system 100 using the created temporary external management ID (step s100).

  Then, the user performs blood pressure measurement using the sphygmomanometer 150 connected to the user terminal 30 and transmits the sphygmomanometer measurement value including the pulse wave data to the server 10 (step s101), and the height, date of birth, etc. The weight and impedance are set and measured with the body composition meter 40, and the measured values are transmitted to the server 10 (step s102).

  The server 10 that has received the sphygmomanometer measurement value, the weight measurement value, and the impedance measurement value including the pulse wave data temporarily stores the above data as the measurement value of the user who has logged in with the temporary account, and has input the height and date of birth. The user having the user information corresponding to the set value, the weight measurement value and the impedance measurement value is narrowed down from the user information stored in the user information management table 171 of the storage unit 14 (step s103).

  Further, a pulse wave file storing user's pulse wave waveform data narrowed down from the user information stored in the user information management table 171 of the storage unit 14 is read, and the pulse wave data received from the sphygmomanometer 150 is compared. If they match, the user having the narrowed user information is assumed to be the corresponding user, and the temporary external management ID and the existing external management ID are associated (step s104).

  Then, the user's e-mail address corresponding to the external management ID associated with the temporary external management ID is read, and the temporary external management ID and the existing external management ID are associated with the e-mail address. An e-mail notifying this is transmitted (step s105), and this temporary account registration process is terminated.

  In the temporary account registration, only the temporary external management ID and the existing external management ID are associated with each other. However, the existing external management ID is deleted and the temporary external management ID is changed from now on. The external management ID may be used, or the forgotten external management ID may be notified to the user who has logged in with the temporary external management ID.

  As described above, this biological information acquisition apparatus (biological information acquisition system 100) controls the measurement means (blood pressure monitor 150) that measures at least blood pressure including a pulse wave, and the measurement means (blood pressure monitor 150). In addition to the control means (user terminal 30), the server 10 and the body composition meter 40 are provided, and the pulse wave information measured by the measurement means (blood pressure meter 150) is sent to the control means (user terminal 30). Unlike the user ID information (external management ID) and the measurement result storage means (user information management table 171) stored in association with the user identification information (external management ID), temporary user identification information Provisional user identification information (temporary external management ID), temporary user identification information creation means (control device 11 that executes step s100), and temporary user identification information (temporary external management ID) The temporary user identification information (temporary external management ID) when the pulse wave information measured after the creation is matched with the pulse wave information stored in the measurement result storage means (user information management table 171); Comparing and matching means (control device 11 that executes step s104) for associating user identification information (external management ID) is provided.

  Thereby, in addition to personal information such as address, name, date of birth, etc., by comparing the pulse waveform that is the biological information of the user, for example, when the user forgets the external management ID Moreover, since the biometric information acquisition system 100 can be used by issuing temporary user identification information (temporary external management ID), the convenience for the user can be improved.

  Further, since the pulse wave waveform, which is the measurement result of the sphygmomanometer 150 that acquires biometric information, is used as a comparison target for user authentication, it is acquired by a third party without requiring another special device. Therefore, the issued temporary external management ID and the existing external management ID can be safely associated with each other. Therefore, it is possible to configure the biometric information acquisition system 100 that is safe and convenient for the user who has forgotten the external management ID.

  The biological information acquisition device (biological information acquisition system 100) includes a body composition meter 40 that measures impedance and / or body weight in addition to the measurement means (blood pressure meter 150) that measures the blood pressure, and stores the measurement result. In the means (user information management table 171), in addition to the pulse wave information, the impedance information and / or the weight information measured by the measuring means (sphygmomanometer 150) are used as user identification information (external management ID). Associating and storing the impedance information and / or weight information measured by the comparison and adaptation unit (the control device 11 that executes step s104) after the provisional user identification information (temporary external management ID) is created, and the measurement The impedance information and / or the weight information stored in the result storage means (user information management table 171) are compared and matched. Since the temporary user identification information (temporary external management ID) and the user identification information (external management ID) are associated with each other, the issued temporary user identification information (temporary external management ID) The user identification information (external management ID) can be more securely associated.

  Further, contact information (e-mail address) that can be contacted to the user is stored in association with the user identification information (external management ID), and the comparison and adaptation means (the control device 11 that executes step s104) Contact means (the control device 11 that executes step s105) for contacting the contact information that the temporary user identification information (temporary external management ID) and the user identification information (external management ID) are associated with each other is provided. Therefore, when associating the issued ID for temporary external management with the ID for external management so far, it can be notified to the user's e-mail address of the ID for external management so far. Even if you are trying to impersonate, you are notified to the real user, so you can avoid being impersonated without knowing it.

  In this embodiment, in addition to the sphygmomanometer 150, the body composition meter 40 that can measure the weight and impedance of the user is used. However, the weight meter that can measure only the body weight, and the current accompanying the movement of the heart muscle are measured. An electrocardiograph or a blood glucose meter that measures a blood glucose level may be used.

  In the present embodiment, the sphygmomanometer 150 is configured to be connected to the user terminal 30 used by the user by wire or wireless, but may be configured to be connectable to the user terminal 30.

  Further, although the user is configured to execute the temporary account registration process on the server 10 using the user terminal 30, the user account 30 may be configured to execute the temporary account registration process by the control unit 31 of the user terminal 30.

  In the present embodiment, the user measurement values and user information are stored in the user information management table 171 of the storage unit 14 of the server 10, but are stored in the storage unit 34 of the user terminal 30. Even if the biometric information acquisition system 100 is not provided with the server 10, the biometric information acquisition system 100 may be configured by only the user terminal 30, the body composition meter 40, and the sphygmomanometer 150.

Instead of the user terminal 30, a mobile phone that can be carried by the user and can be connected to the Internet 20 via a packet communication network may be used.
Even in these configurations described above, the same effect can be obtained.

  Further, the storage unit 14 stores and manages the temporary external management ID when issued in a temporary account registration process, which will be described later, and the original external management ID in association with the issuance date of the temporary external management ID. May be.

Next, a biometric information acquisition system 200 capable of reliably identifying and managing data even when measurement is performed with a measuring device installed in a place used by a plurality of users will be described in a third embodiment. .
Conventionally, for example, in a measuring instrument used at home, such as the body composition meter 40 in the biological information acquisition system as described in the first and second embodiments described above, the measured value is recorded in a memory inside the instrument. The recorded value may be transferred to the server 10 at an arbitrary timing. However, when a plurality of people are installed at a meeting place or the like where the measuring device is used, it is necessary to transfer the measured value to the server 10 every time the measurement is performed, which is not a highly convenient system.

  In addition, as a method of managing the measurement values measured by a measuring instrument that can be used by multiple users for each user, ID cards such as magnetic cards and magneto-optical cards are used, and the measurement values measured by the measuring device are ID cards. A method of reading the measured value stored in the ID card and reading the measured value in the ID card with the ID reader and transferring it to the server 10 has been proposed (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 03-176024).

  However, even if this method is diverted to a biometric information acquisition system, the user needs to carry an ID card, which is not convenient. In addition, there has been a problem of operating costs such as the need to prepare an ID reading device for reading the ID card.

  Therefore, the biometric information acquisition system 200 of the present embodiment can be reliably managed by identifying the user using a mobile phone with a high penetration rate and transferring the measurement value to the server, for example, and is convenient for the user. It aims at constructing a high biological information acquisition system. Hereinafter, it will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

  9 shows a system configuration diagram of the biometric information acquisition system 200, FIG. 10 shows a block diagram showing the system configuration of the biometric information acquisition system 200, and FIG. 11 shows the storage unit 14 and the storage unit 46 of the body composition meter 40. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a management table of stored user identification information, measurement values, and measurement device identification information, and FIG. 12 is a flowchart of measurement device selection and measurement value registration processing when the biological information acquisition system 200 is used. FIG. 13 is a schematic explanatory diagram of the device selection screen 2330 output in steps s204 and 205.

The biometric information acquisition system 200 includes the server 10 connected to the Internet 20 by wire or wirelessly, a user mobile phone 230, and a body composition meter 40.
The storage unit 46 of the body composition meter 40 stores the device number, device ID, installation location information, and measurement type information of the body composition meter 40 as shown in FIG.

The user mobile phone 230 is a mobile phone that communicates wirelessly with the antenna 22 connected to the packet communication network 21, and includes a control unit 231 configured by a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM, a storage unit 232 configured by a nonvolatile memory, and the like. A display unit 233 configured with a liquid crystal display, an operation unit 234 configured with a push button, a voice input device such as a microphone, a sound generation device such as a speaker, a communication unit 235 such as an antenna, a GPS receiving unit 236 described later, and the like. .
Other configurations are the same as the configurations of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, and thus the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The server 10 stores and manages user information in the user information management table 271 by the management DB 14a stored in the storage unit 14, and stores and manages measurement device information in the measurement device information management table 272.

  As shown in the user information management table 271 in FIG. 11A, the user information includes a unique external management ID set for each registered user, user nickname information, gender information, age, and the like. Information, height information, weight information, impedance information, date of birth information and other information are stored. The weight information and impedance information are the results of measurement with a body composition meter, and the other information is information input by the user.

  As shown in the measurement device information management table 272 of FIG. 11B, the measurement device information includes a unique measurement device number, measurement device ID, installation location information, and measurement type information set for each registered measurement device. And other information is stored.

Next, in the biological information acquisition system 200 having such a configuration, a method of using measurement by a user when the body composition meter 40 is installed in an environment that can be used by a plurality of users will be described with reference to FIG.
First, in providing the service of the biological information acquisition system 200, at least the device ID and the installation location of the body composition meter 40 are registered in the server 10, and each device ID is registered in the body composition meter 40 (step s200). .

  The user operates his / her user mobile phone 230 to start the management application, logs in to the biometric information acquisition system 200 with the external management ID, operates the operation unit 234, and selects outdoor measurement (step) s201), the current location information is acquired using the GPS receiving unit 236 of the user mobile phone 230, and the acquired current location information is associated with the external management ID and transmitted to the server 10 (step s202).

  The server 10 that has received the current location information from the user's user mobile phone 230 compares the current location information with the installation location information stored in the measurement device information management table 272, and the measurement device such as the body composition meter 40 that can be used. Is extracted (step s203) and transmitted to the user mobile phone 230.

The user mobile phone 230 that has received the body composition meter 40 extracted as a measurement device that can be used from the server 10 displays a list as a selectable pull-down menu, as shown in FIG.
Specifically, the user mobile phone 230 that has received the extraction result of the available devices displays a device selection screen 2330 shown in FIG.

  The device selection screen 2330 transmits to the server 10 the current location information display unit 2331 that displays the current location information acquired by the GPS receiving unit 236, the available device selection pull-down 2332, and the selection information selected by the available device selection pull-down 2332. This is composed of a selection transmission button 2333 to be selected.

  When the user presses a pull-down button 2332a provided in the available device selection pull-down 2332, the available device selection pull-down 2332 expands downward as shown in FIG. The extraction results extracted as a device are displayed in a list.

  When a measurement device to be used is selected from the extraction results displayed in a list (step s205) and the selection transmission button 2333 is pressed, the user mobile phone 230 transmits the device ID of the selected measurement device to the server 10.

  The server 10 that has received the device ID of the measurement device selected from the user mobile phone 230 associates the external management ID managed by the user information management table 271 of the storage unit 14 with the device ID of the selected measurement device. Management (step s206), and setting information such as information necessary for measurement of a body composition meter such as the height of the user corresponding to the external management ID stored in the user information management table 271 and setting data such as a nickname are selected. Transmit to a total of 40 (step s207).

The body composition meter 40 that has been measured by the user transmits the measurement value together with the device ID stored in the storage unit 46 to the server 10 (step s210).
The server 10 that has received the measurement value together with the device ID from the body composition meter 40 assumes that the measurement value of the user corresponds to the external management ID managed in association with the device ID, and uses the received measurement value as the user. It is stored and managed in the information management table 271 (step s211), and measurement use of the biological information acquisition system 200 by the user is completed.

  As described above, this biological information acquisition apparatus (biological information acquisition system 200) includes a measurement unit (body composition meter 40) in which unique measurement unit identification information (device ID) is set, Measuring means identification information corresponding to the measuring means (body composition meter 40) configured by the control means (server 10) for controlling the measuring means (body composition meter 40) and the user mobile phone 230 used by the user. (Equipment ID) and use information receiving means (control unit 231 for executing steps s202 and s205) for receiving input of user identification information (external management ID), and measuring means (body composition meter 40), Measurement means identification information storage means (storage unit 46 for storing equipment ID) for storing the measurement means identification information (apparatus ID), and the user's measurement measured by the measurement means (body composition meter 40) Measurement result transmission means (control unit 41 for executing step s210) for transmitting constant result information (measurement value) to the control means (server 10) in association with the measurement means identification information (device ID), Control result storage means (measurement device information management table 272) for storing the measurement result information (measurement value) for each user in the control means (server 10), and control for executing the measurement result transmission means (step s210) Unit 41), measurement result receiving means for receiving measurement result information (measurement value) and measurement means identification information (device ID) transmitted in association with each other, and measurement result information (measurement value) received by the measurement result receiving means. ) As the measurement result of the user corresponding to the user identification information (external management ID) via the associated measurement means identification information (device ID) It is stored in pay means (user information management table 271).

  Accordingly, since the measurement is started in a state where the device ID for identifying the body composition meter 40 to be used is specified, the server 10 temporarily manages the user's external management ID and the device ID in association with each other. be able to.

  Therefore, the server 10 stores and manages the measurement value transmitted together with the device ID from the body composition meter 40 as the measurement value of the user of the external management ID temporarily associated with the device ID after the measurement. can do.

  Thus, in the biometric information acquisition system 200, the user operates the user mobile phone 230 having a high penetration rate without having another device for identifying the user, such as another ID card. Thus, the measurement result using the measuring means (body composition meter 40) in an environment that can be used by a plurality of users can be reliably managed as its own measured value.

  In addition, the biometric information acquisition apparatus (biometric information acquisition system 200) stores measurement condition information (height, etc.) necessary for body composition measurement in association with user identification information (external management ID). User information management table 271), user identification information (external management ID) and measurement means identification information (device ID) input by the usage information receiving means (control unit 231 for executing steps s202 and s205) ) Based on the measurement condition information (height, etc.) of the user is transmitted to the corresponding measurement means (body composition meter 40), and the measurement condition information transmission means (control unit 11 that executes step s207). The measurement condition information (body information transmitted from the measurement condition information transmission means (control unit 11 executing step s207) to the measurement means (body composition meter 40). Receiving etc.), and a said measurement condition information in the body composition measuring the user (measurement condition reflecting unit for reflecting the height, etc.) (control unit 41 for executing step s208).

  Thereby, the information necessary for the body composition meter measurement such as height can be transmitted from the server 10 to the body composition meter 40, and the user does not input the information necessary for the body composition meter measurement such as the height each time measurement is performed. Since it can be measured, convenience can be improved.

  The biological information acquisition apparatus (biological information acquisition system 200) uses the usage information reception unit (the control unit 231 that executes steps s202 and s205) as the current position information acquisition unit (GPS reception unit 236) that acquires the current position information. And a user mobile phone 230 comprising current position information transmitting means (control section 231 that executes step s202) for transmitting the acquired current position information to the control section, and the control means (server 10). Extracting means (control unit 11 executing step s203) for extracting available measuring means (body composition meter 40) based on the current position information transmitted from the user mobile phone 230, and extracting available measuring means The available measurement means extraction result transmission means (scaling result) that transmits the result (extraction result of available equipment) to the user mobile phone 230 A control unit 11) that executes step s203, and receives and outputs the available measurement means extraction result (extraction result) transmitted to the user mobile phone 230 and outputs the available measurement means extraction result output means ( Used from the display unit 233) that outputs the device selection screen 2330) and the available measurement unit extraction result (extraction result) output from the available measurement unit extraction result output unit (display unit 233 that outputs the device selection screen 2330). The measurement means selection means (available device selection pull-down 2332) for selecting the measurement means (body composition meter 40) to be measured, and the measurement means selection information for selecting the measurement means (body composition meter 40) are the control means (server 10). Measuring means selection information transmitting means (selective transmission button 2333) for transmitting to

  As a result, the user acquires the current location information with the GPS receiving unit 236 of the user mobile phone 230 and can be installed from the installation location of the body composition meter 40 stored in the measuring device information management table 272 of the server 10. Can be selected by the selection transmission button 2333, and thus the measurement value measured by specifying the user can be reliably managed while preventing the input error of the device ID. In addition, it is possible to prevent the measurement from being hindered when a person other than the user to be measured operates the user mobile phone 230 with mischief.

Further, since the nickname, the ID for external management, etc. can be displayed on the display unit 44 of the measuring means and the measurement guidance can be displayed, the user himself / herself can check the nickname information so that the measuring device used by the user can be used. You can use it with peace of mind.
Furthermore, since measurement can be performed according to the measurement guidance displayed on the display unit 44, convenience for the user can be improved.

  Note that the device ID of the body composition meter 40 selected by the user mobile phone 230 is compared with the device ID from the body composition meter 40 that transmits the measurement result to the server 10, and the measurement result is stored when they match. As managed, the device ID may be used as an authentication key such as a so-called password.

  In addition, when the server 10 extracts the peripheral body composition meter 40 that can be used from the current location information transmitted from the user mobile phone 230, it is used by another user using the body composition meter 40 around the user mobile phone 230. The body composition meter 40 used by other users is excluded from the extraction result, and only the immediately available body composition meter 40 that is not currently used by others may be extracted. .

In the above embodiment, the current location information is acquired by the GPS receiver 236 of the user mobile phone 230, and the body composition meter 40 that can be installed is extracted from the installation location of the body composition meter 40 stored in the server 10, Although it was the structure which selects the body composition meter 40 utilized by the selection transmission button 2333, it is the structure which inputs the apparatus ID of the body composition meter 40 utilized by the user using the normal mobile phone without the GPS receiving part 236. There may be.
Thereby, it is possible to measure in a state where the device ID for identifying the body composition meter 40 to be used, the external management ID of the user, and the device ID are temporarily associated with each other and managed.

  Therefore, the server 10 stores and manages the measurement value transmitted together with the device ID from the body composition meter 40 as the measurement value of the user of the external management ID temporarily associated with the device ID after the measurement. can do.

  In this way, the user can use an ordinary mobile phone without using another device for identifying the user, such as another ID card, in an environment where a plurality of users can use it. The measurement result using a certain measuring device can be managed as its own measured value without fail.

  Even when the device ID is directly input from a normal mobile phone, the installation location information of the body composition meter 40 stored in the measurement device information management table 272 is transmitted from the server 10 to the user's mobile phone. May be.

  As a result, the user outputs and confirms the installation location of the body composition meter 40 transmitted from the server 10 to the display unit 233, and if the user ID is different from the current location, the entered device ID is an incorrect input. I can confirm. Therefore, it is possible to prevent problems such as inability to manage the measurement result due to erroneous input of the device ID.

  In this case, the use information receiving means (the control unit 231 that executes steps s202 and s205) is provided in a normal mobile phone that can be carried by the user, and the control means (server 10) includes the measurement means. Measurement means installation location information storage means (measurement equipment information management table 272) for storing measurement means installation location information relating to the installation location of the measurement means (body composition meter 40) in association with identification information (device ID), and the user Based on the measurement means identification information (device ID) input from the mobile terminal, the measurement means installation location information of the corresponding measurement means (body composition meter 40) is transmitted to the user mobile terminal (ordinary mobile phone). Measuring means installation location information transmitting means (sends the installation location information of the body composition meter 40 stored in the measuring device information management table 272 to the user's mobile phone. A control unit 11) for receiving and outputting the measurement unit installation location information transmitted from the measurement unit installation location information transmission unit (control unit 11) to the user portable terminal (ordinary mobile phone) This can be realized by providing means installation location information output means (display unit 233 for outputting the installation location of the body composition meter 40).

  In this embodiment, the body composition meter 40 that can measure the weight and impedance of the user is used. However, the sphygmomanometer 150 used in the above-described embodiment 2, the weight scale that can measure only the body weight, You may comprise with the electrocardiograph which measures the electric current accompanying a movement of muscle, or the blood glucose meter which measures a blood glucose level.

  In the present embodiment, the body composition meter 40 is configured to be directly connected to the Internet 20. However, the body composition meter 40 is connected to a server such as the server 10 by wire or wireless, and is connected to the Internet 20 via the server 10. It may be a configuration.

In the present embodiment, the user measurement value and the user information are stored in the user information management table 271 and the measurement device information management table 272 of the storage unit 14 of the server 10. 230, the biometric information acquisition system 200 may be configured by only the user mobile phone 230 and the body composition meter 40 without including the server 10 in the biometric information acquisition system 200.
Even in these configurations described above, the same effect can be obtained.

Next, in the biometric information acquisition system for registering the body composition meter 40 and the user terminal 30 used by the user and communicating and managing data, the biometric information that can be used even by using a different user terminal 30 by exchange etc. The acquisition system 300 will be described in a fourth embodiment.
Conventionally, in the biological information acquisition system as described in the above-described embodiment, the body composition meter 40 and the user terminal 30 used by the user are registered and communicated to manage data. Data is stored and managed more efficiently by sending and receiving.

  Even in such a configuration, in the above system, when the user terminal 30 used by the user stops functioning due to, for example, a hard disk failure and is replaced with another user terminal 30, the user terminal before the change is preliminarily changed. The model information of the body composition meter 40 registered in 30 is transferred to the server 10 and stored, and the model information of the body composition meter 40 transferred to the server 10 is reflected in the user terminal 30 after the change. The changed user terminal 30 can recognize the connectable body composition meter 40.

  However, since the body composition meter 40 side does not reflect the model information of the user terminal 30 after the change, there is a possibility that the body composition meter 40 cannot recognize the user terminal 30 after the change.

  Therefore, the biometric information acquisition system 300 according to the fourth embodiment is different from the user terminal 30 and the body composition meter 40, and is different even if the user uses different user terminals 30 by associating each other. An object of the present invention is to construct a biometric information acquisition system that can be used as it is without changing the registration information by using the user terminal 30. Hereinafter, it will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

  14 shows a system configuration diagram of the biometric information acquisition system 300, FIG. 15 shows a block diagram showing the system configuration of the biometric information acquisition system 300, and FIG. 16 shows a management table of user information stored in the storage unit 14. An explanatory diagram is shown, and FIG. 17 shows a flowchart of a measurement method when using the biological information acquisition system 300.

  The biometric information acquisition system 300 includes the server 10, the user terminal 30, and the body composition meter 40 that are connected to the Internet 20 by wire or wirelessly as in the first embodiment. The body composition meter 40 is directly connected to the Internet 20 unlike the first embodiment.

The server 10 stores and manages user information in the user information management table 371 by the management DB 14 a stored in the storage unit 14.
In addition, the storage unit 46 of the body composition meter 40 is configured to temporarily store an external management ID input by a measuring user when measuring.

  As shown in the user information management table 371 in FIG. 16, the user information includes a unique external management ID set for each registered user, user name information, and a password to be entered when logging in. (PW) information, sex information, age information, height information, weight information, impedance information, date of birth information and other information are stored.
