When the CPU 31 determines that the request information has been received (step S603: YES), the CPU 31 is based on physical property value information for each attribute information based on a large amount of physical property value information collected in the physical property value information storage unit 341. It is the calculated the criteria information used to determine the animal methods of treatment Te (step S604). Here, the criteria information that is calculated is information related to a reference value used to determine the animal methods of treatment based on the physical property value information is the average value calculated for each example attribute information. Using criteria information, for example, whether physical property value information is normal (i.e., the tested animals whether or healthy) by determining the upper and lower predetermined width of the normal range to determine, received It can be determined whether or not the physical property value information is a normal value. Of course, as standards information may include the maximum value and the minimum value with upper and lower predetermined width of the normal range. In addition, when a certain amount of physical property value information can be collected, the physical property value information is obtained by calculating a normal distribution of the measured physical property values based on the collected physical property value information and performing a statistical calculation. A range to be determined to be normal may be specified.

  For example, when using a normal distribution, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the acquired predetermined physical property value Z is included in a predetermined range on the maximum side or the minimum side of the probability density function f (Z), or both. FIG. 8 is an exemplary diagram of the probability density function f (Z). As shown in FIG. 8, the CPU 31 calculates a probability density function 80 by calculating an average value and a variance of physical property values. Of course, in order to eliminate abnormal values, the probability density function f (Z) may be obtained after removing physical property values in the vicinity of the maximum value and in the vicinity of the minimum value in advance. The probability density function f (Z) can be expressed as (Equation 1). Note that σ in (Expression 1) is a standard deviation of the physical property value Z, and is calculated by (Expression 2).

  It is determined that the physical property value is not included in the normal range in the region 81 on the maximum value side or the region 82 on the minimum value side of the probability density function 80, and a range corresponding to several percent of the whole, for example, 5 to 10% It can also be considered that it is included in. Therefore, when the acquired physical property value Z is included in the region 81 or 82, it can be determined that the physical property value Z is an abnormal physical property value.

Therefore, in this case, information is central unit 3 as criteria information transmitted to the inspecting terminal apparatus 2, it is sufficient to transmit at least the probability density function f (Z). Of course, it goes without saying that a boundary value (ratio) indicating which range should be determined to be normal may be included. Other, depending on the statistical procedures, information transmitted as the criteria information to the inspecting terminal device 2 changes.

Returning to FIG. 6, CPU 31 of central unit 3, to the inspecting terminal device 2 which is the transmission source of the physical property value information, as the information about the determination result, and transmits the criteria information that corresponds to the received attribute information (step S605 ). For example animal species "dog", for the inspection terminal 2 that has transmitted the physical property value information in the variety "collie", and transmits the animal species "dog", the criteria information that corresponds to the variety "collie". In this way, even when no insufficient physical property value information to identify the inspection terminal apparatus 2 itself, it is possible to obtain a highly reliable criteria information, the judgment of the physician Can be supported.

Returning to FIG. 5, CPU 21 of the calculation display apparatus 2b of the inspection terminal device 2, as the information about the determination result, and receive criteria information about the attribute information corresponding to the transmitted property value information to the central unit 3 (step S507 ), to display information about the determination result to the display device 25 together with the criteria information (step S508). While the format is not particularly limited to the display device 25, it is desirable that contrast with physical property value information measured and criteria information is visually possible.

FIG. 9 is a view showing an example of a screen displayed on the display device 25 as information relating to the result determination. 9, the measured value of each item as a physical property value information, the normal range of each item displayed as criteria information, are displayed respectively. The slide bar 99 is used to visually confirm whether the physical property value information actually measured is “under”, “normal”, or “over” with respect to the normal range. They are displayed side by side. Thereby, it can be visually confirmed whether the measured physical property value information is normal.

FIG. 10 is another exemplary view of a screen displayed on the display device 25 as information related to result determination. In Figure 10, samples the measured values of each item as a physical property value information, the relationship between the normal range for each item displayed as criteria information, is displayed as a radar chart. The hatching portion 101 shows the maximum value of the normal range in the outer peripheral portion and the minimum value of the normal range in the inner peripheral portion, respectively, and whether the measured physical property value information is included in the hatching portion 101, It can be visually confirmed whether or not the physical property value information measured for each item is included in the normal range.

  Depending on the physical property value information, it may not be possible to simply determine the normal range. In that case, it is necessary to determine whether or not the sensor is normal by comparing with the distribution in the normal case. FIG. 11 is an exemplary view of a screen displayed on the display device 25 when comparing the distribution status of physical property value information.

  FIG. 11 shows a distribution range in which the hatched portion 111 is determined to be normal with respect to the measured value 110 indicating the relationship between the measured number of red blood cell particles and the particle diameter. In the example of FIG. 11, since the particle diameter at the maximum value of the measured value 110 is larger than the particle diameter at the maximum value of the hatched portion 111, the number of red blood cells having a large particle diameter is included in the measured blood. It can be determined that it is included in excess of the normal range.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, by collecting physical property value information from a plurality of inspection terminal devices, the physical property value information of an animal having attribute information whose absolute number is insufficient in each inspection terminal device. the can collect a certain amount, by calculating the criteria information that is used to determine the animal methods of treatment based on the collected property value information, criteria based on more physical property value information it is possible to calculate the information. Therefore, even if an animal having attribute information does not possess sufficient test data in one of the animal hospital or unknown attribute information, without the physician rely on the experience and intuition, more objective criteria information It is possible to determine how to treat animals based on the information.

Note that criteria information can be updated substantially in real time to the central unit 3 in response to the collected property value information. Therefore, when receiving the property value information is a measurement result of an animal subject having attribute information of animal species such as rare in Japan, animals treated with more up-to-date property value information criteria information which is updated with The method can be determined, and it is possible to assist in making an accurate diagnosis for cases that are difficult to judge at the animal clinic alone.

(Embodiment 2)
Hereinafter, the animal test information provision system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. The configuration of the animal test information providing system according to the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the first embodiment, except that the physical property value information measured by the test terminal devices 2, 2,. it takes into account the you are, different from the first embodiment in that calculating the criteria information in consideration of the correction by the central unit 3. Hereinafter, the central unit 3, than the basic configuration of the inspection terminal device 2 is the same as in the first embodiment, the detailed description by referring to the figures is omitted.

  Processing procedures in the inspection terminal device 2 and the central device 3 in the animal inspection information providing system according to the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the CPU 21 of the test terminal device 2 used in the animal test information providing system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

  In FIG. 12, the CPU 21 of the calculation display device 2b of the inspection terminal device 2 receives the correction information input or set via the display 19 of the analysis device 2a (step S1201). Of course, the CPU 21 of the calculation display device 2b may accept it via the input device 24, or the correction information set at the time of delivery and stored in the RAM 92 of the control board 9 of the analysis device 2a is transferred to the communication interface 95. You may receive via.

  Here, the correction information means a correction coefficient for correcting the physical property value information measured by the analyzer 2a to be the measured value, with the measured value measured by another measuring device as a true value. ing. For example, when the physical property value information to be measured is the hematocrit value HCT, the measured value HCT1 in the analyzer 2a, and the measured value HCT2 in a measuring device using a centrifugal hematocrit method often installed in an animal hospital, for example Then, the measured value may be different. Therefore, when they are different, the measured value HCT2 measured by the centrifugal hematocrit method is assumed to be a correct value, and the measured value HCT1 measured by the analyzer 2a is multiplied by the correction coefficient α so as to be the measured value HCT2. Correct it. In this case, the correction coefficient α can be obtained as (Equation 3).

  α = HCT2 / HCT1 (Formula 3)

Correction coefficients relating to other physical property value information are calculated in a similar manner if necessary. Therefore, not only the physical property value information, by transmitting the correction coefficient central unit 3 for each property value information, based on the uncorrected original property value information, criteria information used to determine the animal methods of treatment The information can be calculated more accurately. Therefore, it is possible to determine the animal methods of treatment using a more recent property value information criteria information which is updated with.

  Next, the CPU 21 of the calculation display device 2b of the test terminal device 2 receives the attribute information of the sample to be measured via the input device 24 (step S1202). Of course, the CPU 91 of the analysis device 2a may directly receive the data via the display 19 and transmit it to the calculation display device 2b. Here, the received attribute information is not limited to animal species (animal types: dogs, cats,...), But breeds (unique brands of animals: collies, bulldogs, chihuahuas,... In dogs). Information on age, sex, etc., but is not limited to these.

  The CPU 21 transmits sample measurement start instruction information to the analyzer 2a (step S1203). The analysis device 2a executes sample analysis processing, and the CPU 91 receives physical property value information measured by the detection unit 17, and transmits the physical property value information in association with the received attribute information to the calculation display device 2b. The CPU 21 of the calculation display device 2b determines whether or not the physical property value information has been received from the analysis device 2a (step S1204), and the process is in a waiting state until it is determined that it has been received (step S1204: NO). When the CPU 21 determines that the physical property value information has been received (step S1204: YES), the CPU 21 corrects the physical property value information based on the received physical property value information and the correction information (step S1205), and the corrected physical property. The value information, attribute information, and correction information are transmitted to the central device 3 (step S1206).

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the CPU 31 of the central apparatus 3 used in the animal examination information providing system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In FIG. 13, the CPU 31 of the central device 3 receives the physical property value information, the attribute information, and the correction information associated with the attribute information (step S1301), and stores the received physical property value information, the attribute information, and the correction information in the storage device 34. Is stored in the physical property value information storage unit 341 (step S1302).

  FIG. 14 is an exemplary diagram of a data structure stored in the physical property value information storage unit 341. As shown in FIG. 14, identification information that can identify the inspection terminal device 2 that is the transmission source, for example, attribute information, physical property value information, and correction information for each physical property value information is stored in association with the terminal ID. ing. The attribute information is composed of a plurality of attributes 1, attributes 2,..., And the physical property value information is also composed of a plurality of physical property values 1, physical property values 2,. As the correction information, the correction information corresponding to the physical property value 1 is stored as the correction coefficient 1, the correction information corresponding to the physical property value 2 is stored as the correction coefficient 2,.

  Returning to FIG. 12, the CPU 21 of the calculation display device 2 b of the inspection terminal device 2 determines whether or not the request information for information related to the result determination has been received via the input device 24 (step S <b> 1207). The process waits until the CPU 21 determines that the request information has been received (step S1207: NO). If the CPU 21 determines that the request information has been received (step S1207: YES), the CPU 21 transmits the request information to the central device 3. (Step S1208).

Returning to FIG. 13, the CPU 31 of the central device 3 determines whether or not the request information has been received (step S1303), and the process is in a waiting state until the CPU 31 determines that the request information has been received (step S1303). S1303: NO). When the CPU 31 determines that the request information has been received (step S1303: YES), the CPU 31 calculates original property value information, which is property value information before correction, based on the stored property value information and correction information. (step S1304), based on the mass of the original property value information collected to the physical property value information storage unit 341, calculates the criteria information of physical values for each attribute information (step S1305).

Here, the criteria information that is calculated, as in the first embodiment, is information about the reference value used to determine the animal methods of treatment based on the physical property value information, for example, calculated for each attribute information Is the average value. Using criteria information, for example, property value information by determining the upper and lower predetermined width of the normal range to determine whether it is normal, that the received property value information to determine whether the normal value Can do. Of course, as standards information may include the maximum value and the minimum value with upper and lower predetermined width of the normal range. In addition, when a certain amount of physical property value information can be collected, the physical property value information is obtained by calculating a normal distribution of the measured physical property values based on the collected physical property value information and performing a statistical calculation. A range to be determined to be normal may be specified.

CPU31 is to test the terminal device 2 which is the transmission source of the physical property value information, sends the criteria information that corresponds to the received attribute information (step S1306). For example animal species "dog", for the inspection terminal 2 that has transmitted the physical property value information in the variety "collie", and transmits the animal species "dog", the criteria information that corresponds to the variety "collie". In this way, even when no insufficient physical property value information to identify the inspection terminal apparatus 2 itself, it is possible to obtain a highly reliable criteria information, the judgment of the physician Can be supported. Further, since standards information based on the previous original property value information to be corrected is calculated, the higher standards information for accuracy, the measured determines whether property value information is normal Accuracy is also increased.

Returning to FIG. 12, CPU 21 of the calculation display apparatus 2b of the inspection terminal device 2 receives the criteria information about the attribute information corresponding to the transmitted property value information to the central unit 3 (step S1209), the display device 25 information about the determination result to display with criteria information (step S1210). The format displayed on the display device 25 is not particularly limited, and various display formats can be used as in the first embodiment.

The correction is not limited to sending criteria information that is calculated based on the uncorrected original property value information to the inspecting terminal device 2, the calculated criteria information at the central unit 3 from to, may send criteria information corrected to the test terminal device 2. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing another processing procedure of the CPU 31 of the central apparatus 3 used in the animal examination information providing system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

In FIG. 15, the processing up to step S1305 is the same as that in FIG. CPU31 of the central unit 3, the calculated criteria information, based on a correction information stored (step S1501), the inspecting terminal device 2 which is the transmission source of the physical property value information received attribute information corresponding to, and transmits the criteria information after correction (step S1502).

In this way, if the inspection terminal device 2 receives the criteria information, without correcting the received criteria information, the use of as it is, the measured physical property value information included in the normal range It is possible to determine whether or not the animal is to be treated.

According to the second embodiment as described above, it is possible to correct the variation in the measured physical property value information by the correction information set in a different value for each inspecting terminal apparatus 2, more accurate criteria it is possible to calculate the information. In the second embodiment, the CPU 21 transmits the corrected property value information in step S1206. However, the CPU 21 transmits the corrected property value information together with the attribute information and the correction information to the central apparatus 3. Also good.

(Embodiment 3)
Hereinafter, the animal test information provision system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 16 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an animal test information providing system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. The configuration of the animal examination information providing system according to the third embodiment is almost the same as that of the first embodiment, but the disease information storage unit 342 and / or the treatment information storage unit 343 is added to the storage device 34 of the central device 3. It differs from Embodiment 1 in the point provided. Hereinafter, the basic configuration of the central device 3 and the inspection terminal device 2 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and thus the same reference numerals are given and detailed description thereof is omitted.

The disease information is preferably stored as a message to be displayed on the display device 25 of the test terminal device 2. This is because a doctor can visually acquire information.

  For example, if the HGB (hemoglobin amount) is smaller than the normal range and the MCV (average erythrocyte volume) is smaller than the normal range, the corresponding message is “microspheric hypochromic anemia, iron “Deficient anemia is suspected” is stored as text data. In addition, the disease determination condition information that HGB (hemoglobin amount) and MCV (average erythrocyte volume) are included in the normal range, RBC is smaller than the normal range, and LDH is smaller than the normal range is “large” as a corresponding message. It is a spherical anemia and suspected to be a regenerative anemia, hemolytic anemia, megaloblastic anemia, liver disease, etc. ”is stored as text data. By storing the disease information (message) in association with the disease determination condition information that can be determined as these various diseases, the central device 3 determines the possibility of the disease and transmits it to the test terminal device 2 It becomes possible to do.

Store (step S1702).

The CPU 31 determines whether or not the request information has been received from the inspection terminal device 2 (step S1703), and the process waits until the CPU 31 determines that the request information has been received (step S1703: NO). When the CPU 31 determines that the request information has been received (step S1703: YES), the CPU 31 determines the basis of the physical property value information for each attribute information based on the large amount of physical property value information collected in the physical property value information storage unit 341. to calculate the quasi-information (step S1704).

Here, the criteria information that is calculated, similarly to the first and second embodiments, is information about the reference value used to determine the animal methods of treatment based on the physical property value information, for example, each attribute information Is the average value calculated. Using criteria information, for example, property value information by determining the upper and lower predetermined width of the normal range to determine whether it is normal, that the received property value information to determine whether the normal value Can do. Of course, as standards information may include the maximum value and the minimum value with upper and lower predetermined width of the normal range. In addition, when a certain amount of physical property value information can be collected, the physical property value information is obtained by calculating a normal distribution of the measured physical property values based on the collected physical property value information and performing a statistical calculation. A range to be determined to be normal may be specified.

The CPU 31 selects one physical property value information (step S1705), and determines whether or not the selected physical property value information is included in the specified normal range (step S1706). If the CPU 31 determines that is not included in the normal range (step S1706: NO), CPU 31 stores in the RAM33 as the information about the relationship between the property value information and criteria information (step S1707), the CPU 31 If it is determined that it is included in the normal range (step S1706: YES), the CPU 31 skips step S1707 and determines whether all physical property value information has been selected (step S1708). The information about the relationship between the property value information and criteria information, for example, property value information A is less than criteria information B, property value information C is information on the relative relationship such smaller criteria information D is there.

When the CPU 31 determines that there is physical property value information that has not yet been selected (step S1708: NO), the CPU 31 selects the next physical property information value (step S1709), returns the processing to step S1706, and performs the above-described processing. Repeat the process. If CPU 31 determines that the all physical property value information is selected (step S1708: YES), CPU 31, based on the information on the relative relationship between the property value information and criteria information stored in the RAM 33, the disease Disease determination condition information for referring to the information storage unit 342 is specified (step S1710).

  The CPU 31 inquires of the disease information storage unit 342 to determine whether or not the disease determination condition information matches (step S1711). When the CPU 31 determines that they match (step S1711: YES), the disease determination condition information The disease information stored in the disease information storage unit 342 in association with is extracted (step S1712).

The CPU 31 transmits the extracted disease information, physical property value information, and attribute information to the test terminal device 2 that is the transmission source of the physical property value information (step S1713). Together with physical property value information received in this way by the central unit 3 determines whether included in the normal range, based on the information about the relationship between the criteria information for each property value information is assumed Since the disease information regarding the disease can be acquired by the test terminal device 2, it is possible to assist in providing more accurate judgment to the animal owner.

Further, not only the disease information but also treatment information regarding a treatment method such as what kind of examination should be added can be transmitted to the examination terminal apparatus 2 by the same process. In this case, the treatment information storage unit 343 provided in the storage device 34 of the central unit 3, in association with the attribute information, physical property value information to be measured, the relationship such as to be provided between the criteria information Treatment information relating to a corresponding disease is stored on the basis of treatment determination condition information including. The treatment information is preferably stored as a message to be displayed on the display device 25 of the inspection terminal device 2. This is because a doctor can visually acquire information.

Serum iron. Is small and TIBC is normal or large, there is a possibility of iron deficiency anemia ". In this way, not only the disease information but also the treatment information related to the treatment method necessary for further confirmation is stored, so that the treatment information necessary in the central device 3 is extracted and sent to the examination terminal device 2 as a message. It becomes possible to transmit.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing another processing procedure of the CPU 31 of the central apparatus 3 used in the animal test information provision system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. In FIG. 18, the CPU 31 of the central device 3 receives the physical property value information associated with the attribute information (step S <b> 1801), and sends the received physical property value information and attribute information to the physical property value information storage unit 341 of the storage device 34. Store (step S1802).

The CPU 31 determines whether or not the request information has been received from the inspection terminal device 2 (step S1803), and the process waits until the CPU 31 determines that the request information has been received (step S1803: NO). When the CPU 31 determines that the request information has been received (step S1803: YES), the CPU 31 determines the basis of the physical property value information for each attribute information based on the large amount of physical property value information collected in the physical property value information storage unit 341. to calculate the quasi-information (step S1804).

The CPU 31 selects one physical property value information (step S1805), and determines whether or not the selected physical property value information is included in the specified normal range (step S1806). If the CPU 31 determines that is not included in the normal range (step S1806: NO), CPU 31 stores in the RAM33 as the information about the relationship between the property value information and criteria information (step S1807), the CPU 31 If it is determined that it falls within the normal range (step S1806: YES), the CPU 31 skips step S1807 and determines whether all physical property value information has been selected (step S1808). The information about the relationship between the property value information and criteria information, for example, property value information A is less than criteria information B, property value information C is information on the relative relationship such smaller criteria information D is there.

When the CPU 31 determines that there is physical property value information that has not yet been selected (step S1808: NO), the CPU 31 selects the next physical property information value (step S1809), returns the processing to step S1806, and performs the above-described processing. Repeat the process. If CPU 31 determines that the all physical property value information is selected (step S1808: YES), CPU 31, based on the information on the relative relationship between the property value information and criteria information stored in the RAM 33, the treatment Treatment determination condition information for referring to the information storage unit 343 is specified (step S1810).

  When a biochemical analyzer is connected, more detailed information can be provided as disease information. For example, a combination of a small amount of TP (total protein amount), a small amount of Alb (albumin amount), and a normal amount of Glob (total amount of globulin), the corresponding message is “suspected of liver failure, glomerular disease etc. Is stored as text data. In addition, as a combined condition that TP (total protein amount) is small, Alb (albumin amount) is small, and Glob (total globulin amount) is small, the corresponding message is “blood loss, excessive infusion, ascites / pleural effusion” “Storage is suspected” is stored as text data. Thus, according to the combination of the results of the biochemical test, the disease information can be displayed on the test terminal device 2. It goes without saying that the same applies to the treatment information.
