4). Operation Mode of Female Thermometer Next, the operation mode of the female thermometer 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 3B. FIG. 3B is a state transition diagram showing transition of operation modes for executing various functions of the female thermometer 100, and the female thermometer 100 operates based on the operation mode shown in FIG. 3B. Each operation mode is realized by the arithmetic processing unit 221 executing a program stored in the ROM 222. Hereinafter, each operation mode shown in FIG. 3B will be described in detail with reference to the display content of FIG. 3A.

(I) Measurement mode:
When the power of the female thermometer 100 is turned on due to the pressing of the power button 109 or the arrival of an alarm setting time, the measurement data processing mode is entered and the measurement mode is entered. In the measurement mode, the current date and latest measurement values are displayed in the initial state. Further, by the operation of the left movement button 107 and the right movement button 108, the memo contents corresponding to the designated day are displayed together with the measured value of the designated day. In this measurement mode, the measurement value by the temperature measurement unit 210 is monitored, and body temperature measurement is started when the measurement start condition is satisfied. When the function button 104 is pressed in the measurement mode, an icon is displayed in the selection function display area 301 described above.

(Ii) Memo mode:
When the female thermometer 100 is turned on, the body temperature measurement is completed, and when the function button 104 is pressed while the body temperature is displayed on the display unit 103, the display is displayed in the selected function display area 301 of the display unit 103. Among the pictograms (icons) that are displayed, an icon indicating a memo input function flashes. When the function button 104 is pressed again, the mode is changed to the memo mode, and among the pictograms (icons) in the selected memo display area 302, an icon indicating “scheduled physiology date” is displayed surrounded by a heel. The left movement button 107 and the right movement button 108 are used to select an icon indicating the content to be input as a memo. The selected icon is displayed surrounded by ∩. Next, the memo input is completed by pressing the completion button 105 for a predetermined time. The input memo content is associated with the date and stored in the RAM 223, and then the measurement mode is entered.

(Iii) Predicted date display mode:
When the function button 104 is pressed while an icon indicating “predicted date display” (next physiology scheduled date display function or next ovulation scheduled date display function) is selected in the selection function display area 301, the mode transits to the predicted date display mode. . In the prediction date display mode, the prediction data derived in the measurement data processing mode described later and stored in the RAM 223 is displayed. In the present embodiment, the next menstrual scheduled date and the next scheduled ovulation date can be displayed as the predicted data, but other predicted data such as the expected date of birth may be displayed. When the completion button 105 is pressed during display in the predicted date display mode, the mode transitions to the measurement mode.

(Iv) Measurement data processing mode:
The measurement data processing mode is a mode for executing data processing on time series data of body temperature measured in the measurement mode. This is a mode that changes every time the power button 109 is turned on, or when the power is turned on due to the arrival of the wake-up time. Details of data processing in the data processing mode will be described later.

(V) Stop mode:
After completion of data processing in the measurement data processing mode, or when the button non-input state continues for a predetermined time in the measurement mode, the mode transits to the stop mode. Even if the female thermometer 100 is in the stop mode, the power supply of the entire circuit is not cut off, and the timer 224, the arithmetic processing unit 221 and the like are not provided in order to output the alarm sound. Power is supplied although it is weak.

  The operation mode of the female thermometer 100 has the above five modes. In each of the modes (ii) and (iii), when the completion button 105 is pressed, the mode is changed to the measurement mode. Further, in each of the modes (ii) and (iii), when a predetermined time elapses without input of various buttons, the mode is changed to the measurement mode as in the case where the completion button 105 is pressed. Further, in the measurement mode, when a predetermined time elapses without inputting various buttons, the mode is changed to the stop mode. It should be noted that when a button is input to make a transition from the measurement mode to each mode, it is preferable that the input is performed by pressing the button for a long time in order to prevent erroneous input.

5. Contents of data processing in the measurement data processing mode In the measurement data processing mode, the first day of menstruation is determined using accumulated measurement values, memo entered physiological data, etc., and the first day of menstruation is updated from the previous date. Then, the average high-temperature phase period and average low-temperature phase period are calculated for the latest menstrual cycle from the first day of menstruation before the update to the day before the first day of menstruation updated.

  In addition, the average menstrual cycle and the reference body temperature are calculated using data about past menstrual cycles accumulated so far. Further, it is determined whether the day of measurement (hereinafter referred to as today) belongs to the high-temperature phase or the low-temperature phase, the ovulation day is detected, and the average body temperature is calculated.

  Finally, using these data, the next menstrual scheduled date, the next scheduled ovulation date, and the expected birth date are predicted and calculated.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a menstrual cycle. The encircled numbers represent the first menstrual periods 401 to 408 in each menstrual cycle, and the symbols a to h in between indicate the menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle is a cycle in which the first day of menstruation is the start date and the day before the next menstruation day is the last day. Each menstrual cycle includes a low temperature phase period H to N from the first day of menstruation to the day before the ovulation day and a high temperature phase period A to G from the day of ovulation to the day before the first day of the next menstruation.

  Hereinafter, various data processing in the measurement data processing mode will be described with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. At that time, measurement starts from the middle of the menstrual cycle a in FIG. Shall be confirmed.

(1) Calculation Timing FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the overall data processing flow in the measurement data processing mode. The arithmetic processing shown in FIG. 5 shifts to the data processing mode when the power button 109 is turned on or when the wake-up time arrives. Next, the process in each step will be described in more detail.

(2) Menstruation first day determination (S503)
When the memorandum memo input is continued for a predetermined number of days or more, for example, three days or more, the first day of the memorandum memo input is determined as the first menstrual day.

(3) Average menstrual cycle (not shown) (S506)
As can be seen from FIG. 4, the period from the first menstrual period 401 to 408 to the day before the first menstrual period is the menstrual cycle.
-The average menstrual cycle is calculated after the first day of menstruation is confirmed, and the calculation result is retained until the next menstruation day is confirmed. For example, when the measurement date is in the menstrual cycle g in FIG. 4, the average menstrual cycle is calculated after the first menstrual day 406 of the cycle g is determined, and the average menstrual cycle calculated at that time is the RAM 223 until just before the next menstrual first day 407. Is stored in the average menstrual cycle storage unit. When the next menstrual first day 407 is determined, the average menstrual cycle is recalculated.
The average menstrual cycle is obtained by averaging the predetermined menstrual cycle (for example, four times) obtained by removing the longest cycle and the shortest cycle from the menstrual cycle of the latest predetermined times (for example, six times). For example, when the first menstrual period 407 that is the first day of the menstrual cycle h is determined, the menstrual cycle g is determined. In that case, the menstrual cycle g including the menstrual cycle g is recalculated by averaging the menstrual cycle of a predetermined number (4 times) excluding the longest cycle and the shortest cycle from the menstrual cycle of a predetermined time (6 times) from the newest one. The
-If the menstrual cycle is averaged over a predetermined number of times (four times), and if there are more than a predetermined number of menstrual cycles (for example, three times), the calculated average menstrual cycle is valid.
When data for a predetermined period, for example, 6 periods, has not been obtained since the start of measurement, as an interim measure, if there are effective periods for a predetermined number of times, for example, 3 times, the average is set as the average menstrual period. For example, in the interval e in FIG. 4, the average menstrual cycle = (b + c + d) / 3. However, b, c, and d are effective menstrual cycles. Similarly, in the interval f, the average menstrual cycle = (b + c + d + e) / 4. However, b, c, d, and e are effective menstrual cycles. Also, in the interval g, the average of the effective menstrual cycles over a predetermined number of times (for example, four times) excluding the longest is defined as the average menstrual cycle.
-The menstrual cycle is valid for a predetermined number of days, for example, 21 days or more and 42 days or less.
The average menstrual cycle is valid if the longest cycle and the shortest cycle in the menstrual cycle (maximum 4 cycles) used for calculating the average menstrual cycle satisfy the relationship (longest cycle <shortest cycle × 2). Further, in the above average menstrual cycle calculation method, the amount of effective menstrual cycles collected is insufficient in the sections a, b, c, and d where the female thermometer 100 is first used, and the average menstrual cycle cannot be obtained. Therefore, the average of the intervals b and c in the interval d and the interval b in the interval c are set as the average menstrual cycle when the collection amount of the effective menstrual cycle is insufficient. However, even if there is no predetermined number of effective menstrual cycles, for example, 3 or more within the latest predetermined menstrual cycle, for example, 6 menstrual cycles, or even when there are a predetermined number of effective menstrual cycles, for example 3 or more (longest cycle <shortest cycle × If 2) is not satisfied, or if the average menstrual cycle is not valid as a result of the calculation, there is no data on the average menstrual cycle. When calculating the average menstrual cycle, if the effective cycle is insufficient, an initial value (for example, 28 days) can be calculated as a provisional menstrual cycle and used as a measure of the menstrual cycle.

  Thus, the average menstrual cycle is an average of effective menstrual cycles for at least a predetermined number (three times) of the menstrual cycle for a predetermined number of times (for example, six times). In addition, at the beginning of use of the female thermometer 100, if data for two menstrual cycles is stored, the average is obtained, and if there is data for only one menstrual cycle, the menstrual cycle is calculated as the amount of effective menstrual cycles collected. It is used as the average menstrual cycle when there is a shortage.

(4) Average high temperature phase period (not shown) (S507)
As shown in FIG. 4, the high-temperature phase periods A to G are the period from the day after the ovulation date to the day before the first day of menstruation, and each period is included in the menstrual cycles b to h.
-The average high-temperature phase period is calculated after the first day of menstruation is confirmed, and the calculation result is retained until the next day of menstruation is confirmed.
The average high temperature phase period is obtained by averaging a predetermined number of recent times, for example, six times of the high temperature phase period, excluding the longest period and the shortest period, for example, four high temperature phase periods.
The calculated average high-temperature phase period is valid if there is an effective high-temperature phase period (described later) for a predetermined number of times, for example, four times of the high-temperature phase period to be averaged.
When data for a predetermined number of times, for example, six times has not been obtained since the start of measurement, as a provisional treatment, in the section e, the average high temperature phase period = (A + B + C) / 3. However, A, B, and C are effective high temperature phase periods. Similarly, in the section f, the average high temperature phase period = (A + B + C + D) / 4. However, A, B, C, and D are effective high temperature phase periods. In the section g, the average of the high-temperature phase periods that are valid predetermined times except the longest, for example, three or more high-temperature phase periods is defined as the average high-temperature phase period.
-The high temperature phase period is valid for a predetermined number of days, for example, 12 days or more and 16 days or less. Ineffective high temperature phase periods are excluded from the calculation. In addition, in the above-described method for calculating the average high temperature phase period, in the sections a, b, c, and d where the female thermometer 100 is first used, the effective high temperature phase period is insufficiently completed and the average high temperature phase period cannot be obtained. . Therefore, the average of the sections A and B in the section d and the section A in the section c are set as the average high temperature phase period when the collection amount of the effective high temperature phase period is insufficient. In addition, there is no average high-temperature phase period data when there is no more than a predetermined number (three) of effective high-temperature phase periods in the latest menstrual cycle, for example, the June menstrual cycle, or when the average high-temperature phase period is not valid as a result of calculation. Shall.

(5) Average low-temperature phase period (not shown) (S507)
As shown in FIG. 4, the low-temperature phase periods H to N are periods from the first day of menstruation to the date of ovulation, and each period is included in the menstrual cycles b to h.
・ The average low-temperature phase period is calculated after the first day of menstruation is confirmed, and the calculation result is retained until the next day of menstruation is confirmed.
The average low temperature phase period is obtained by averaging a predetermined number of recent times, for example, six times of the low temperature phase period, excluding the longest period and the shortest period, for example, four low temperature phase periods.
The calculated average low-temperature phase period is effective if there are effective low-temperature phase periods (described later) for a predetermined number of times, for example, four times of the low-temperature phase period averaged, for example, three times or more.
-When data for a predetermined number of times, for example, six times has not been obtained since the start of measurement, as a provisional treatment, the average low temperature phase period = (H + I + J) / 3 is set in the section e. However, H, I, and J are effective high temperature phase periods. Similarly, in the interval f, the average high temperature phase period = (H + I + J + K) / 4. However, H, I, J, and K are effective low temperature phase periods. In the section g, the average of the low-temperature phase periods that are valid predetermined times except the longest, for example, three times or more is defined as the average low-temperature phase period.
-The low temperature phase period is valid for a predetermined number of days, for example, 5 days to 30 days. Ineffective low-temperature phase periods are excluded from the calculation. Further, in the above-described method for calculating the average low-temperature phase period, the average low-temperature phase period cannot be obtained in the sections a, b, c, and d where the female thermometer 100 is first used. Therefore, the average of the sections H and I in the section d and the section H in the section c are set as the average low-temperature phase period when the collection amount of the effective low-temperature phase period is insufficient. In addition, when there is no more than a predetermined number (three) of effective low-temperature phase periods in a predetermined menstrual cycle, for example, in the June menstrual cycle, or when the average low-temperature phase period is not valid as a result of calculation, the average low-temperature phase period data is Make it not exist.

(6) Reference body temperature (not shown) (S508)
The reference body temperature is calculated after the first menstrual days 401 to 408 are determined, and the calculated value is held until the next menstrual first day is determined.
The reference body temperature is calculated as (high temperature phase average body temperature for the past predetermined times (for example, 3 times) + low temperature phase average body temperature for the past predetermined times (for example, 3 times)) / 2. However, the high-temperature phase average body temperature and the low-temperature phase average body temperature are obtained by the average body temperature described later. For example, the reference body temperature on the first physiological day 404 is ((average body temperature in section A + average body temperature in section B + average body temperature in section C) / 3 + (average body temperature in section H + average body temperature in section I + average body temperature in section J). ) / 3) / 2. In addition, on the first day of menstruation 401, the reference body temperature is not updated. On the first day of menstruation 402, reference body temperature = (average body temperature in section A + average body temperature in section H) / 2, and on first day of menstruation 403, reference body temperature = ((average body temperature in section A + average body temperature in section B). / 2 + (average body temperature in section H + average body temperature in section I) / 2) / 2.
A predetermined value, for example, 36.5 ° C., is given as the reference body temperature in the menstrual cycles ab.

(7) Average body temperature (not shown) (S511)
As the average body temperature, each of the high-temperature phase average body temperature and the low-temperature phase average body temperature is calculated after the first physiological first day determination.
The high-temperature phase average body temperature is calculated based on the body temperature up to a predetermined day, for example, 3 days before the start of the low-temperature phase, with the body temperature on the predetermined day, for example, the third day, from the start of the high-temperature phase as an initial value.
The average body temperature of the low-temperature phase is calculated based on the body temperature up to a predetermined day, for example, 3 days before the start of the high-temperature phase, with the body temperature on the predetermined day, for example, the third day from the start of the low-temperature phase as an initial value.

(8) Phase determination (not shown) (S509)
It is determined whether the measurement day belongs to the high temperature phase period or the low temperature phase period.
・ If the measured body temperature on the day ≧ the reference body temperature, the body temperature is assumed to be high (high temperature phase).
・ If the measured body temperature on the day <the reference body temperature, the hypothermia (low temperature phase).
The phase determination is performed every predetermined day, for example, every day after the low temperature phase is first confirmed from the start of recording.
-If hypothermia continues for a predetermined number of days on the day, for example, 3 consecutive days, the low temperature phase starts from a predetermined number of days, for example, 2 days. Alternatively, when the first day of menstruation is confirmed, the low temperature phase starts from the first day of menstruation.
-If the hyperthermia continues for a predetermined number of days on the day, for example, 3 consecutive days, the high-temperature phase starts from a predetermined number of days, for example 2 days. However, if there is a fever memo input within a predetermined number of consecutive days, for example, within 3 days, or if the body temperature is equal to or higher than a predetermined value (for example, 37.5 ° C.), the measurement result is excluded from the calculation.

(9) Ovulation day detection (not shown) (S509)
・ The ovulation date is calculated after the start date of the high temperature phase is updated in the phase determination.
-Since the ovulation day is the last day of the low temperature phase, after the phase determination, the ovulation date = the high temperature phase start date -1 is obtained.

(10) Missing data of measured body temperature (forgotten) post-processing Basic body temperature should be measured every day in principle, but if data is missing due to forgetting to measure, missing as internal data Calculated from the measured body temperature before and after. However, the missing data is not displayed, and the body temperature display on the missing date is “−−.−− ° C.”. The missing data is compensated so as to linearly interpolate the measured value immediately before and after the missing value. That is, the following example.
When the measured body temperature data is missing for one day (the Nth day), if the measured value on the (N-1) th day is a and the measured value on the (N + 1) th day is b, the body temperature on the Nth day is a + (b- a) / 2.
When the measured body temperature data is missing for 2 days (day N, day N + 1), body temperature on day N is a + (ba) / 3, body temperature on day N + 1 is a + 2 * (ba) / 3.
Similarly, when the measured body temperature data is missing for m days, the body temperature on the missing day n is a + n * (ba) / (m + 1), where a is the body temperature on the day before missing and b is the body temperature after missing.
-The number of consecutive days m of measurement temperature missing data is allowed up to a predetermined number of days, for example, 8 days. If there is an omission that exceeds the predetermined number of days, for example, 8 days, the body temperature data is invalidated by going back to the first day of the latest period.
When the valid data of the measured body temperature is not less than a predetermined ratio of the number of days in the menstrual cycle, for example, 50% or more, the data in the menstrual cycle is valid. When the ratio is less than a predetermined ratio, for example, less than 50%, the data in the menstrual cycle is invalidated.

(11) Predicting next menstruation date (S512)
-The next menstrual scheduled date is calculated after the end of the calculation of the average menstrual cycle and the average high temperature phase period after a predetermined time, for example, the fourth menstrual first day is determined. In the menstrual cycles a to d in FIG. 4, the next scheduled menstruation date is not obtained, and therefore there is no data on the next scheduled menstruation date.
The next scheduled physiological period is predicted (estimated) as a predetermined period, for example, a period of 3 to 7 days (year / month / day to year / month / day). Alternatively, only the predicted date of the next menstrual first day is displayed, and “year / month / daily” is displayed. The next menstrual first day obtained by the prediction calculation is stored in the next menstrual scheduled date storage unit in the RAM 223.
-If the day of this calculation process is a low-temperature phase (determined by phase determination described later), the next scheduled physiological period will be (Recent physiological first day + average menstrual cycle-possible period)-(Recent physiological first day + average) Menstrual cycle + possible period). However, the possible period is assumed to be equivalent to 1.5σ / 2, with the distribution of the menstrual cycle used for calculating the average menstrual cycle as a normal distribution. The possible period is rounded to the first decimal place. However, in the menstrual cycles c and d, a value set in advance as σ is used. Alternatively, the possible period may be a fixed value (from -4 days to +2 days).
-If the day of this calculation process is a high-temperature phase (determined by phase determination described later), the next scheduled physiological period will be (Recent Ovulation Date + Average High-Temperature Phase Period-Possible Period)-(Recent Ovulation Date + Average high temperature phase period + possible period). However, the possible period is equivalent to 1.5σ / 2, assuming that the distribution of the high temperature phase period used for the calculation of the average high temperature phase period is a normal distribution. The possible period is rounded to the first decimal place. However, in the menstrual cycles c and d, a value set in advance as σ is used. Alternatively, the possible period may be a fixed value (from -4 days to +2 days).

When displaying the next scheduled menstrual date predicted in this way, display control is performed as follows according to the conditions of the display day. However, when the next scheduled menstruation date is displayed in the menstrual cycles c and d, a display indicating that the collection amount of the effective menstrual cycle and the effective high temperature phase period is insufficient is also performed.
-When the display day is not included in the period of the next scheduled physiological period, the calculated scheduled physiological period is displayed as it is.
・ If the display date is within the period of the next scheduled menstruation date and is within a specified number of days before the last day of the period, for example, three days before, the displayed period will be the next menstruation schedule from the date of the display day The last day of the day period. That is, the next scheduled menstruation date is from the date of display to (recent menstruation first day + average menstrual cycle + possible period), or from the date of display to (recent ovulation date + average high-temperature phase period + possible period).
-If the displayed day is the predetermined number of days from the last day of the next scheduled period for menstruation, for example, after 3 days, the period displayed until the first day of menstruation is from the date of display to the date of the day of display + a predetermined number of days (for example, 3 days) And
-As a result of the calculation, when the next scheduled period of menstruation covers a predetermined number of days, for example, a period of 8 days or more, the display indicates the year, month, and day with hyphens, and "-/-/ ------ /- /-". Note that “/” is a year / month, month / day separator, and the order of the year / month / day can be determined according to the user's preference and custom.
-When the display day is a high temperature phase and the number of days from the ovulation day is a predetermined number of days, for example, 17 days or more, the display is "-/-/ ----- /-/-".
・ If the average menstrual cycle or average high-temperature phase period has not been established, the display shall be "-/-/-to-/-/-".

(12) Predicted date of next ovulation (memory and display) (S513)
The next scheduled ovulation date is calculated (predicted) after the calculation of the average menstrual cycle and the average low-temperature phase period after a predetermined number of times, for example, the fourth physiological first day is determined. In addition, since it cannot calculate in the menstrual cycle ab, "-/-/ ----- /-/-" is displayed. In addition, when the next scheduled ovulation date is displayed in the menstrual cycles c and d, since the collection amount of the effective menstrual cycle and the effective low-temperature phase period is insufficient, this is also displayed.
The next scheduled ovulation date is displayed as a predetermined period, for example, a period of 3 to 7 days (year / month / day to year / month / day). Alternatively, only the predicted date of the next ovulation date is displayed, and “year / month / day” is displayed. The next scheduled ovulation date obtained by the prediction calculation is stored in the next scheduled ovulation date storage unit in the RAM 223.
-If the day is in the low temperature phase, the next scheduled ovulation date is (Recent menstrual first day + average low temperature phase period-possible period) to (Recent menstrual first day + average low temperature phase period + possible period). However, the possible period is assumed to be 1.5σ / 2, assuming that the distribution of the low temperature phase period used for the calculation of the average low temperature phase period is a normal distribution. The possible period is rounded to the first decimal place. However, in the menstrual cycles c and d, a value set in advance as σ is used. Alternatively, the possible period may be a fixed value (from -4 days to +2 days).
-If the day is in the high temperature phase, the next scheduled ovulation date is (recent ovulation date + average menstrual cycle-possible period) to (recent ovulation date + average menstrual cycle + possible period). However, the possible period is assumed to be equivalent to 1.5σ / 2, with the distribution of the menstrual cycle used for calculating the average menstrual cycle as a normal distribution. The possible period is rounded to the first decimal place. However, in the menstrual cycles c and d, a value set in advance as σ is used. Alternatively, the possible period may be a fixed value (from -4 days to +2 days).

When displaying the estimated date of next ovulation estimated in this way, display control is performed as follows according to the conditions on the display day.
-When the display day is not included in the next ovulation scheduled date period, the calculated next ovulation scheduled date is displayed as it is.
-If the current day is within the period of the next scheduled ovulation date and the last day of the period is up to a certain day before, for example, 3 days before, the displayed period will be the date of the next scheduled ovulation The last day of the period. That is, from the display date to the latest physiological first day + average low-temperature phase period + possible period, or from the display date to the latest ovulation date + average menstrual cycle + possible period.
-If the displayed date is after a predetermined number of days (for example, 3 days) from the last day of the next ovulation scheduled date period, until the ovulation date, the display is from the date of the displayed day to the date of the displayed day + the predetermined number of days (for example, 3 days) To do.
-As a result of the calculation, when the next scheduled ovulation date is a predetermined number of days, for example, 8 days or more, the display is "-/-/-to-/-/-".
-When the day is a high temperature phase and the number of days from the ovulation day is a predetermined number of days, for example, 17 days or more, the display is "-/-/ ----- /-/-".
・ If the average menstrual cycle or average low-temperature phase period has not been established, the display shall be "-/-/-to-/-/-".

(13) Expected delivery date (display) (S514)
When the number of days from the last ovulation day exceeds a predetermined number of days, for example, 20 days, and the current day (latest measured body temperature) is a high body temperature, the expected date of birth is estimated by the formula: expected date of birth = ovulation date + 265 days.
・ If the expected date of delivery is not requested, the display shall be "-/-/-to --- /-/-".

6). The data processing procedure in the measurement data processing mode has been described above for each item of the data processing executed in the procedure of FIG. 5, but the data processing procedure is described as a series of processing with reference to FIGS. explain. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the overall flow of measurement data processing, which is realized by executing a program stored in the ROM 222 in FIG. Hereinafter, the contents of the processing will be described with reference to a flowchart. 6 to 8 are flow charts showing a part of the contents of the above-described processes, so that only a simple touch can be made.

  In FIG. 5, it is first determined whether today's body temperature measurement has already been completed (step S501). If it has been completed, the process ends. If not completed, the missing data is first interpolated (step S502). That is, if there is a missing period of a predetermined number of days, for example, 8 days or more, the data after the first day of the latest menstrual period is invalidated. Interpolation is performed according to the equation b−a) / (m + 1)). This is as described in item (13) above.

  Next, the first day of menstruation is determined (step S503). The details are as described in item (2) above, but are shown again in FIG. That is, if the memorandum memo input continues for a predetermined day or more, for example, three days or more, the first day, that is, the date before the predetermined day of the current day, for example, two days before, is updated (steps S601, S602, S603). Further, when the start date of the low temperature phase is updated in the phase determination / ovulation date detection processing (details will be described later) in step S509, the processing returns to step S503 by branching in step S510. The menstrual first day is updated with the start date (steps S601, S607, S608). In addition, when the first day of menstruation is updated in step S608, when the menstruation memo is input later and the input is continuously less than three days, the memorandum memo is input before the high temperature phase is reached. The menstrual first day is updated with the date (step S602: NO, S604: YES, YES at S605, S606). The first day of menstruation is updated with any of these three as a trigger.

  Next, if the immediately preceding menstrual cycle is confirmed, that is, the first process after a new physiological first day is confirmed (S504: YES), and the data of the immediately preceding menstrual cycle is valid (S505). : YES), calculation of average menstrual cycle (step S506), calculation of average high temperature phase period and average low temperature phase period (step S507), and calculation of reference body temperature (step S508). These three values are calculated in the manner described in the above items (3) to (6). In particular, when the average menstrual cycle is calculated in step S506, the value is stored in the average menstrual cycle storage unit in the RAM 223. If it cannot be calculated, a sign indicating that it has not been calculated is stored in the average menstrual cycle storage unit. Steps S506 to S508 are processes performed once in one menstrual cycle.

  In contrast, steps S509 to S514 are executed every time body temperature is measured. First, phase determination and ovulation date detection are performed (step S509). The details are as described in the above items (8) and (9), but are shown again in FIG. First, it is determined whether the measured body temperature is higher or lower than the reference body temperature, and the determination result is stored in the RAM 223. In principle, if the body temperature is low or high for three consecutive days (S702-YES or S704-YES), the first day is set as the start date of the low temperature phase or the high temperature phase, respectively (step S703). , S706). However, if the first day of menstruation has been updated on that day, even if it is not a hypothermic temperature for three consecutive days, for example, the updated first day of menstruation is set as the start date of the low temperature phase (steps S708 and S709). If the temperature exceeds the predetermined temperature or if a note of heat generation is input, the measured value for that day is not adopted (YES in step S705). Further, the day before the high temperature phase start date is set as the ovulation day in the menstrual cycle (step S707).

  When the phase determination is performed in step S509, it is determined in step S510 that the low-temperature phase start date is updated as of today (that is, the measurement day) and the physiological first day is not updated. If this result is affirmative, the first day of menstruation needs to be updated with the start date of the low temperature phase, so the process returns to step S503 to update the first menstruation day again. Along with this, the first day of menstruation is newly determined, and data processing related to the immediately preceding menstrual cycle is performed in steps S504 to S508.

  If the determination is negative in step S510, the average body temperature calculation (step S511), the next scheduled physiological date prediction (estimation) calculation (step S512), the next scheduled ovulation date prediction (estimation) calculation (step S513), the birth schedule Daily prediction (estimation) calculation (step S514) is sequentially performed, and the process in the measurement data processing mode is terminated.

  Here, as explained in item (7), the average body temperature is determined on the predetermined day from the start date of the immediately preceding phase, for example, from the third day, at the time when the change between the high temperature phase and the low temperature phase is confirmed. The average body temperature up to a predetermined day before the start date, for example, up to 3 days before, is obtained.

  Next, the next menstrual scheduled date prediction process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The next scheduled physiological period is determined whether it is currently in the high temperature phase or low temperature phase (step S801), and if it is in the low temperature phase, the average menstrual cycle is added based on the last menstrual first day, and the variation is centered on that day. (Estimated) (steps S802 to S805). First, it is determined whether or not the collection amount of the effective menstrual cycle is insufficient as in the sections c and d described with reference to FIG. 4 (step S802). If not, as described in item (11), the possible period is calculated from the variation (σ) of the effective menstrual cycle used for calculating the average menstrual cycle (step S803), and the calculated possible period is stored. The next scheduled menstruation date is calculated using the average menstrual cycle and the first day of the last menstrual day (step S805). On the other hand, if the collection amount of the effective menstrual cycle is insufficient, a predetermined value is set as a possible period (step S804), and the set possible period and the stored average menstrual cycle and the first day of the last menstrual day are used. The next scheduled date for menstruation is calculated (step S805). If the average menstrual cycle or the like is not obtained, the next menstrual date is not calculated.

  If the current high-temperature phase, the average high-temperature phase period is added with reference to the last ovulation day, and the next scheduled physiological period is predicted (estimated) by taking into account variations around that day (steps S806 to S809). First, it is determined whether or not the collection amount in the effective high temperature phase period is insufficient as in the sections c and d described in FIG. 4 (step S806). If not insufficient, as described in item (11), the possible period is calculated from the variation (σ) of the effective high temperature phase period used for the calculation of the average high temperature phase period (step S807), and the calculated possible period, The next scheduled physiological period is calculated using the stored average high-temperature phase period and the last ovulation day (step S809). On the other hand, when the collection amount of the effective high temperature phase period is insufficient, a predetermined value is set as a possible period (step S808), and the set possible period and the stored average high temperature phase period and the last ovulation date are used. The next scheduled physiological period is calculated (step S809). If the average menstrual cycle or the like is not found, the next scheduled date for menstruation is not calculated.

  The next menstrual scheduled date obtained as described above is stored in the next menstrual scheduled date storage unit in the RAM 223. If it cannot be calculated, a sign indicating that it has not been calculated is stored in the next scheduled physiological period storage unit.

  Next, the next ovulation scheduled date prediction process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The next scheduled date of ovulation is determined whether it is currently in the high-temperature phase or low-frequency phase (step S901), and if it is in the high-temperature phase, the average menstrual cycle is added based on the last ovulation date, and the variation is centered on that day. (Estimated) (steps S902 to S905). First, it is determined whether or not the collection amount of the effective menstrual cycle is insufficient as in the sections c and d described with reference to FIG. 4 (step S902). If not, as described in item (12), the possible period is calculated from the variation (σ) of the effective menstrual cycle used for calculating the average menstrual cycle (step S903), and the calculated possible period is stored. The next scheduled ovulation date is calculated using the average menstrual cycle and the last ovulation date (step S905). On the other hand, if the collection amount of the effective menstrual cycle is insufficient, a predetermined value is set as a possible period (step S904), and the next time using the set possible period and the stored average menstrual cycle and the last ovulation day An ovulation scheduled date is calculated (step S905). If the average menstrual cycle or the like is not obtained, the next scheduled ovulation date is not calculated.

  In the case of the current low temperature phase, the average low temperature phase period is added on the basis of the last physiological first day, and the next scheduled ovulation date is predicted by taking into account variations around that day (steps S906 to S909). First, it is determined whether or not the collection amount in the effective low temperature phase period is insufficient as in the sections c and d described in FIG. 4 (step S906). If not insufficient, as described in item (12), the possible period is calculated from the variation (σ) of the effective low-temperature phase period used for calculating the average low-temperature phase period (step S907), and the calculated possible period; The next scheduled ovulation date is calculated using the stored average low-temperature phase period and the last physiological first day (step S909). On the other hand, if the collection amount of the effective low temperature phase period is insufficient, a predetermined value is set as a possible period (step S908), and the set possible period, the stored average low temperature phase period and the last physiological first day are used. The next ovulation scheduled date is calculated (step S909). If the average menstrual cycle or the like is not obtained, the next scheduled ovulation date is not calculated.

  The next scheduled ovulation date obtained as described above is stored in the next scheduled ovulation date storage unit in the RAM 223. If it cannot be calculated, a code indicating that it has not been calculated is stored in the next ovulation scheduled date storage unit.

  The expected date of birth is determined as the expected date of birth on the 265th day from the last ovulation date when 20 days or more have passed since the last ovulation date and, for example, in the high temperature phase. If the conditions are not satisfied and the expected date of delivery is not obtained, information indicating that is stored instead of the expected date of delivery.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the next scheduled date for menstruation and the next scheduled date for ovulation by the female thermometer 100 according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the current date display area 305 of the display unit 103 is used to display the next scheduled date for menstruation and the next scheduled date for ovulation. At that time, by indicating that either the next menstruation scheduled date display function or the next ovulation scheduled date display function in the selection function display area 301 is selected, either the next menstrual scheduled date or the next ovulation scheduled date is displayed. Is shown. In the display area 1001, a mark indicating whether or not the collection amount such as the effective menstrual cycle is insufficient in the calculation of the next scheduled menstruation date or the next scheduled ovulation date is displayed.

  For example, FIG. 10A shows that the next menstruation scheduled date display function in the selection function display region 301 is in the selected state, and the date displayed in the date and time display region 305 is the next menstruation scheduled date. Yes. In addition, a “triangular mark” is displayed in the display area 1001 indicating that the collection amount of measurement data and physiological item data is insufficient in the calculation of the next scheduled physiological period. Also, in FIG. 10B, “OK” is displayed in the display area 1001 indicating that the collection amount of measurement data and physiological data is sufficient in the calculation of the next scheduled physiological period (normal state). ing. In this embodiment, in order to present a predicted date range in which a “possible period” is provided as the next scheduled physiological period, the first date of the predicted range and the last date of the predicted range are alternately displayed in the current date display area 305. To do.

  Similarly, in (c) of FIG. 10, the next ovulation scheduled date display function in the selection function display area 301 is in the selected state, and the date displayed in the current date display area 305 is the next ovulation scheduled date. Show. In addition, a “triangular mark” is displayed in the display area 1001 indicating that the collection amount of measurement data and physiological data is insufficient in calculating the next scheduled ovulation date. In FIG. 10D, “OK” is displayed in the display area 1001 to indicate that the collection amount of measurement data and physiological data is sufficient in the calculation of the next scheduled ovulation date (normal state). ing. In this embodiment, in order to present a prediction range in which a “possible period” is provided as the next scheduled ovulation date, the first date of the prediction range and the last date of the prediction range are alternately displayed in the current date display area 305. To.

  Of course, the display form of the next menstruation date and the next ovulation date is not limited to the above-described one. Moreover, in the said embodiment, in the calculation of the next menstruation scheduled date and the next ovulation scheduled date, it was presented as a range of a plurality of days including the predicted date using the “possible period”, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a single date such as the predicted date itself or the first day of the scheduled date described above may be displayed. Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the electronic thermometer with which the temperature sensor, the temperature measurement part, and the calculation control part were integrated, the form of an electronic thermometer is not restricted to this. For example, it is apparent that the present invention can also be applied to an electronic thermometer in which a probe incorporating a temperature sensor and a main body housing an arithmetic control unit are separated.

  As described above, according to the above embodiment, in the prediction of the next scheduled date for menstruation and the next scheduled date for ovulation, the measured values and physiological data over a predetermined number or more (four or more cycles in this example) are stored in the RAM 223. If stored, it is determined whether or not these measurement values and physiological data are valid for calculation of prediction, and prediction is performed using the data determined to be valid. On the other hand, when the measurement values and physiological data stored in the RAM 223 are less than the predetermined number of menstrual cycles, prediction is performed using the measurement values and physiological data stored in the RAM 223 as valid information. . Therefore, even if the female thermometer is first used, the next menstrual day or the next ovulation date can be predicted by measuring one menstrual cycle.

  In addition, as described with reference to FIG. 10, in the display for notifying the user of the predicted next physiological first day, the measurement values and physiological data stored in the RAM 223 used when the prediction is executed are more than the predetermined number. Different displays are made depending on whether or not the menstrual cycle is over. Therefore, the user can know whether or not the predicted date being displayed is calculated using data having a sufficient amount of data.

  In addition, regarding the shortage of the data amount, even when “provisional treatment” is used in the calculation of the average menstrual cycle, the average high-temperature phase period, and the average low-temperature phase period, it can be displayed. In this way, it is possible to inform the user of the data accumulation state in more detail, which is convenient.
