Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sphygmomanometer that stores and displays a blood pressure value for each item (for example, for each user).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is a sphygmomanometer that stores and manages blood pressure values separately for each of a plurality of (for example, two) users. The blood pressure monitor generally includes a blood pressure measurement unit that measures a blood pressure value, a switching unit that switches for each user, a memory that separately stores the measured blood pressure value for each user that is switched by the switching unit, Display means for displaying the blood pressure value stored in the storage device. In this sphygmomanometer, the memory area is selectively used by the switching means for each user, and the user A and the user B are stored and managed in the memory together with the identification symbols.

That is, for example, when the user A measures the blood pressure value, the switching means is switched to the user A side. Thus, the blood pressure value of the user A is stored in the memory area of the user A. Further, in the case of the user B, by setting the switching means to the user B side, the blood pressure value of the user B is changed to the user B.
Is stored in the memory area.

[0004]

However, in the above sphygmomanometer, the switching means is incorrectly switched to the user B side even though the user is the user A, or the switching means is switched to the user B side. In some cases, blood pressure measurement is performed while the user is standing, and the blood pressure value of the user A is stored in the memory area of the user B.

When the blood pressure value is stored in the wrong memory area, when the memory is called later to check the transition tendency of the blood pressure value, the user does not notice that the blood pressure value of another user is mixed. An erroneous trend analysis is performed, and an accurate analysis reflecting a change in the blood pressure value of the individual cannot be performed.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and provides a sphygmomanometer in which a user can surely store his / her own blood pressure value in his / her own memory area. It is an object.

[0007]

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sphygmomanometer for measuring a blood pressure value, a storage device for storing the measured blood pressure value together with an identification code, Means for switching the identification symbol to be displayed, and display means for displaying the blood pressure value stored in the storage means together with the identification symbol, wherein the display means displays the measured blood pressure value, It is characterized by blinking the symbol.

[0008] In this sphygmomanometer, since the measured blood pressure value is displayed on the display means and at the same time, the identification symbol is blinked, the user can confirm whether the measured value is stored together with the identification symbol considered by the user. It is also possible to notice that the blood pressure value is incorrectly stored in another memory area. As a result, it is possible to correctly analyze the transition tendency of the individual's blood pressure value. Also, in the event that the data is stored by mistake, the measured value may be deleted or the identification code may be changed and corrected.

In this blood pressure monitor, in particular, the display means blinks and displays the identification symbol instead of simply displaying it, so that the user can be alerted to confirming the identification symbol.

The identification symbol is used for each item, and the items are classified by user, with / without medication, morning / evening, and the like. The identification symbol is, for example, a user identification symbol (for example, “A” or “B” for two persons) attached to the switching means or a memory area identification symbol (for example, “M1” for two persons).
“M2”). In addition, "1", "2", "A",
"Otsu", etc., or figures other than letters and numbers may be used. If the above items can be identified, they are not specified.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to embodiments.

FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a sphygmomanometer according to an embodiment.
Shown in This sphygmomanometer comprises a sphygmomanometer main body 1 and a cuff 2, and the sphygmomanometer main body 1 and the cuff 2 are connected by a tube 3. The sphygmomanometer main body 1 includes a display unit 10 that displays a blood pressure value (a systolic blood pressure value and a diastolic blood pressure value), date and time, an identification symbol, a power switch 11, a pressurizing switch 12 for starting air supply to the cuff 2, A clock setting switch 13 for setting / correcting the time, a time forwarding switch 14 for fast-forwarding or fast-rewinding when setting / correcting the time, a measurement value recall button 15 for retrieving the blood pressure value stored in the memory, for each user. It has a slide-type user changeover switch 16 for switching.

A feature of this sphygmomanometer is that the display unit 10 blinks the identification symbol of the user related to the measured blood pressure value before or after storing the measured blood pressure value in the memory. FIGS. 2 and 3 show display examples of the display unit 10. FIG.
Shown in

In the display mode shown in FIG. 2, the display section 10 has a blood pressure value display section 10a for displaying a systolic blood pressure value and a diastolic blood pressure value.
And a date display section 10b for displaying the date and time, and a user display section 10c for displaying the identification symbol "A" or "B". "A" and "B" are written as user identification symbols 21 and 22 on one side and the other side of the user changeover switch 16, respectively. The changeover switch 16 is slid to the identification symbol side to perform the changeover. When the blood pressure measurement is completed,
After storing the blood pressure value in the memory (or before the storage), the identification symbol of the user related to the blood pressure value, that is, the identification symbol set by the changeover switch 16 is displayed on the user display unit 10c of the display unit 10. That is, the identification symbol “A” (FIG. 2A) or “B” (FIG. 2B) lights up according to the position of the changeover switch 16.

In the display form of FIG. 3, the display unit 10 has the same point of having a blood pressure value display unit 10a, a date and time display unit 10b for displaying date and time, and a user display unit 10c. “M1” and “M2” are written as memory area identification symbols 23 and 24 on the side and the other side, respectively. In this case, the users A and B memorize their own memory areas in advance, and switch the switch 16 to the memory area side when measuring the blood pressure. Similarly, after the measured blood pressure value is stored in the memory (or before the storage), the identification symbol of the memory area related to the blood pressure value, that is, the identification symbol set by the changeover switch 16 is displayed on the user display unit 10c.
Will be displayed. At this time, depending on the position of the changeover switch 16, the identification symbol “M1” [(a) in FIG.
2 "[(b) of FIG. 3] lights up.

In either of the display modes shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, after the user A or B measures the blood pressure value, the identification symbol currently indicated by the changeover switch 16 is flashed on the user display section 10c of the display section 10. The user A or B confirms whether the displayed identification symbol is his / her own identification symbol, thereby preventing his / her blood pressure value from being erroneously stored in another user's memory area. can do. Also, in the event that the data is erroneously stored, the measured value can be deleted or the identification symbol can be changed.

As a result, when the memory is called up later to confirm the transition tendency of the blood pressure value, the transition of the blood pressure value of the individual can be accurately analyzed. Also, after the power is turned on or when the changeover switch 16 is switched to the other side, the blinking of the identification symbol is more suitable for the purpose of calling attention.

Next, the overall operation of the sphygmomanometer will be outlined with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. The operation of this flowchart is for displaying the user identification symbol before storing the blood pressure value in the memory, and "A", "" as the user identification symbols 21 and 22 on both sides of the user changeover switch 16. B "(see FIG. 2).

First, in step ST1, it is determined whether the power switch 11 has been pressed and the power has been turned on. When the power is turned on, the display unit 10 (the blood pressure value display unit 10a, the date and time display unit 10b, and the user display unit 10c) is fully lit in step ST2. Then, step S
At T3, atmospheric pressure calibration is performed, and at step ST4, the pressure “0” is displayed on the blood pressure value display section 10a.
Is displayed, and in step ST5, the display of the current time on the date and time display section 10b is started.

Thereafter, in step ST6, a pressurization standby mode process is executed.
At T7, it is determined whether the power switch 11 has been pressed again. When the power switch 11 is pressed again, the power is turned off.
The display of all 0's is turned off, the process returns to step ST1, and waits until the power switch 11 is pressed next time.

In step ST7, the power switch 1
If 1 is not pressed again, step ST
Then, it is determined whether or not the measurement value call button 15 has been pressed. When this button 15 is pressed, the process proceeds to step ST10, and the previous value memory display processing is executed.
In this process, the systolic blood pressure value and the diastolic blood pressure value stored in the memory are displayed on the blood pressure value display unit 10a. If the button 15 has not been pressed, in the next step ST11, it is determined whether or not the clock setting switch 13 has been pressed. When the clock setting switch 13 is pressed, the process proceeds to step ST12,
Execute date / time change processing. This process is for changing the date and time displayed on the date and time display section 10b. The date and time are corrected by the time feed switch 14.

If the clock setting switch 13 has not been pressed, a user switching process is executed in step ST13. This processing is switched by the user switch 16 as necessary so that the blood pressure value of the user A or B is stored in the memory area of the user. In step ST14, as a result of switching the changeover switch 16, it is determined whether the changeover switch 16 is positioned on the user identification symbol "A" side. If YES, the identification symbol "A" is displayed on the user display section 10c in step ST16. Is displayed. If the determination in step ST14 is NO, the changeover switch 16 is positioned on the user identification symbol "B" side, so that the identification symbol "B" is displayed on the user display section 10c in step ST15.

After displaying the identification symbol "A" or "B" on the user display section 10c, it is determined in step ST17 whether the pressure switch 12 has been pressed. If the pressure switch 12 is not pressed, the flow returns to step ST6 to execute the pressure standby mode processing, and proceeds to steps ST6 to ST1.
Step 7 is repeated.

On the other hand, when the pressure switch 12 is pressed, a pressure mode process is executed in step ST18. In this process, a motor incorporated in the sphygmomanometer main body 1 is operated to supply air to the cuff 2 via the tube 3 and press the body part (for example, an arm) with the cuff 2.

When the pressurizing mode processing is completed, step ST1
At 9, a decompression mode process is executed. This process
Open the exhaust valve built into the sphygmomanometer body 1 slightly and
The air is gradually discharged. Thereafter, in step ST20, a blood pressure calculation mode process is executed. In this process, the systolic blood pressure value and the diastolic blood pressure value are calculated in the process of depressurizing the cuff 2.

When the calculation of the blood pressure value is completed, step ST2
In step 1, a blood pressure value display mode process is executed. In this process, the calculated systolic and diastolic blood pressure values are displayed on the blood pressure value display unit 10a. Next, in step ST22, the user identification symbol "A" or "B" blinks on the user display portion 10c together with the current time displayed on the date and time display portion 10b (see FIG. 2).

Thereafter, in step ST23, a blood pressure value / current date and time memory process is executed. In this process, the calculated blood pressure value is stored in the memory area of the user A or B together with the current date and time. Then, the process returns to step ST6, and the same processing is repeated.

In the flow chart of the above embodiment, the user identification symbol is displayed before the blood pressure value is stored in the memory, but the identification symbol is displayed after the blood pressure value is stored in the memory. Is also good. In that case, the process of step ST22 in the flowchart of FIG. 5 may be performed after step ST23. Although the user identification symbol "A" or "B" is taken up as the identification symbol, the same applies to the memory region identification symbols "M1" and "M2" in FIG.

[0029]

As described above, according to the sphygmomanometer of the present invention, since the measured blood pressure value is displayed on the display means and at the same time, the identification symbol is displayed blinking, the user can measure the blood pressure. It is possible to check whether the value is stored together with the identification symbol considered by the user, and it is possible to notice that the blood pressure value is stored in another memory area by mistake. As a result, it is possible to correctly analyze the transition tendency of the individual's blood pressure value.
