[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute the method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is an implantable medical device such as a pacemaker which assists the function of an organ such as a heart by electrical stimulation or the like so that the organ such as the heart can function normally when implanted in a human body. There are also implantable medical devices that monitor the operation of the heart by implanting an electrocardiograph or the like in a human body.

[0003] In the case of a battery exhaustion or a failure of the device itself, these implantable medical devices notify a person who uses the implantable medical device in a state of being implanted in the body by a buzzer or the like. It is a configuration that allows you to recognize. Furthermore, in recent years, a multi-program mechanism is provided in an implantable medical device, and by using an electromagnetic wave signal or the like, a special device can be used as needed even after implantation, so that the functions of the implantable medical device can be programmed from outside the body. It is also possible to change to

FIG. 28 schematically shows a pacemaker device. In FIG. 28, the pacemaker device 280
0 is a control circuit 2801 for controlling the processing of the entire apparatus;
A stimulation pulse driver 2802 for oscillating a stimulation pulse;
It comprises an electrode lead 2803 for guiding a stimulation pulse to the myocardium, a stimulation electrode 2804 for stimulating the myocardium, and a heart rate sensor 2805 for monitoring a heart rate and the like.

[0005] The pacemaker device 2800 amplifies a signal sent from the heart rate sensor 2805 and sends it to the control circuit 2801, and a controller that changes the functions such as the stimulation frequency of the pacemaker device 2800 from outside the body in a programmable manner. And a power supply unit 2808 for supplying power to the entire pacemaker device 2800.

Here, as a communication technique between the wireless reception unit 2806 and the controller, for example, coil communication can be used. To check whether the pacemaker device 2800 is operating as programmed, usually
Connect the wireless input / output terminal of the controller to the pacemaker device 28
00 must be applied directly to the site where it was implanted. Also, the stimulation electrode 280 of the pacemaker device 2800
When confirming whether or not the device 4 is out of the heart, the wireless input / output terminal of the controller is connected to the pacemaker device 2800.
Must be applied directly to the site where the was implanted.

[0007]

However, usually,
Special devices such as analyzers and controllers necessary for confirming the operation status of the implantable medical device are generally provided in hospitals and the like, and doctors and the like perform the operations. . Therefore, if you want to check the operation status (program contents) of the implantable medical device due to a change in physical condition or to know the remaining amount of the battery, use the implantable medical device with the implantable medical device implanted in the body. Since it is necessary for the person who is using the implantable human body function control device to operate the implantable human body function control device, it is necessary to go to a hospital and receive medical treatment from a doctor. There was a problem that the status (program contents) could not be easily checked.

[0008] In addition, information related to the program of the implantable medical device is usually stored by a doctor or the like in charge of a person who uses the implantable medical device in a state of being implanted in the body. If the person using the implantable medical device implanted in the body moves and lives, or if the implantable medical device breaks down while traveling, data on the program contents and control status of the implantable medical device, etc. Is not sufficiently and smoothly transmitted to the doctor in charge of the new person.

Similarly, when a surgeon who re-implants a new implantable medical device in a person who uses the implantable medical device while the implantable medical device is implanted in the body is changed, the doctor or hospital is changed. It is conceivable that information such as data on the program contents and the control state of the implantable medical device is not sufficiently and smoothly transmitted to a doctor or hospital in charge of the person.

[0010] Further, since a buzzer sound or the like is emitted from the implantable medical device, even when it is desired to check the operation status of the implantable medical device, the implantable medical device is used while implanted in the body. Since the implantable medical device is implanted in the body, the person performing the operation cannot confirm the operation status of the implantable medical device. Therefore, since the cause of the buzzer sound or the like cannot be easily grasped, a person who uses the implantable medical device with the implanted medical device implanted in the body cannot use his / her physical condition or the operation of the implantable medical device. There is also the problem that you may feel uneasy about the situation.

When the output of the body motion detection sensor unit 2002 is larger than a certain threshold value,
When the output period of No. 2 has continued for a predetermined time or more, the control unit 601 displays warning information on the display 103 from the information transmission unit 603 to urge the user of the apparatus to stop body movement. The external communication unit 1601 transmits information on the body movement state of the device user determined by the control unit 601 to a hospital or emergency center directly or via a mobile phone.

Further, when the control unit 601 determines that the user of the apparatus is incapable of acting based on a signal detected from the pulse wave sensor unit 2001 or the body motion detection sensor unit 2002, the alarm unit 107 sounds the alarm 107 It is good also as a structure which makes the person around the user recognize that. In this case, information on persons near the apparatus user is displayed on the display 103.
