  4A and 4B are diagrams for explaining the measurement result output control of the present embodiment. The case where the measurement history data 200 as shown in FIG. 3 is received will be described as an example.

  FIG. 4A shows an example of measurement result output when the immediate value 250 of the user's measurement value is 63 kg (250-1). In such a case, “62 kg” 236 (see FIG. 3) which is the latest measurement data (an example of the measurement history data 230) in the measurement history data (see FIG. 3) and the measurement data measured this time by the biometric measurement unit. Based on “63 kg” 250-1, which is an immediate value 250, the measurement data may be evaluated and the evaluation result may be output to the measurement result output unit.

  The message to be output may be set in advance corresponding to the difference value.

  FIG. 4B shows an example of measurement result output when the immediate value 250 of the user's measurement value is 61 kg (250-2). In such a case, for example, as a measurement data evaluation process, the difference between “62 kg” 232 which is the latest measurement data in the measurement history data (see FIG. 3) and “61 kg” 250-2 which is an immediate value of the measurement data. Control may be performed to obtain "-1" 260-2 and output it as an evaluation result.

  Further, for example, as an evaluation process of measurement data, “−1” which is a difference between “62 kg” 232 which is the latest measurement data in the measurement history data (see FIG. 3) and “61 kg” 250-2 which is an immediate value of the measurement data.

As shown in the figure, the difference 310 between the measurement data and the latest measurement data in the measurement history data and the corresponding data of the message 320 may be prepared as table data in advance. Then, a difference between the measurement data and the latest measurement data in the measurement history data may be obtained according to the measurement data, and a message corresponding to the obtained difference 310 may be selected and output with reference to the correspondence table. In the case of FIG. 4A, since the difference is “+1” and is 2 or more and less than 3, the corresponding message 322 may be output. In the case of FIG. 4B, since the difference is “−1” and is not less than −2 and less than −3, the corresponding message 324 may be output.
It should be noted that a different correspondence table may be prepared for the purpose of weight loss for dieting or for other purposes. For example, the content of the message may be changed, or the width of the numerical value of the table difference may be changed.

  Note that a plurality of correspondence tables according to the purpose may be prepared so that the user can appropriately set them. For example, message pattern selection information (table selection information) to be used may be provided as user information.

  The difference values 260-1, 260-2 and the messages 270-1, 270-2 may be output instead of the immediate values 250-1, 250-2 of the measurement data, or the immediate values 250-1, 250-2 of the measurement data. -2 may be output together with difference values 260-1, 260-2 and messages 270-1, 270-2.

  The biometric apparatus may be set based on the received measurement history data.

  Based on the received measurement history data and measurement data stored in the storage unit, setting control (parameter and measurement data recording destination) of the biometric measurement unit may be performed.

  When measurement data is stored in the storage unit of the biometric device, setting control of the biometric unit may be performed based on the received measurement history data and measurement data stored in the storage unit.

  For example, based on the received measurement history data, an expected range of measurement data of a user to be measured may be determined, and a measurement range may be set such that detailed data is measured for the expected range.

  Conventionally, when performing biometric measurement using a biometric device such as a sphygmomanometer or a weight scale, which is used by unspecified majority, the immediate value of the measurement data is displayed, and no consideration has been given to privacy. In the case of a biometric device used by an unspecified number of users, since the user's past measurement history data is usually not recorded, the immediate value of the measurement data can only be displayed.

  In such a case, when the measurement history data as shown in FIG. 3 is received, the measurement data 420-1, 420-2, 420-3 stored in each file is compared with the received measurement history data, It may be determined whether there is measurement data of the same user as the received measurement history data. For example, the latest measurement data in the received measurement history data may be compared with the latest measurement data stored for each user, and may be determined to be the same user measurement data when the difference is within a predetermined range. . Further, for example, the average value within a predetermined period (for example, data within the past n months) in the received measurement history data and the predetermined value among the stored measurement data of each user (for example, data within the past n months) May be determined to be measurement data of the same user when the difference is within a predetermined range.

  In the case of FIG. 5, the difference between the latest measurement data value “62.2 kg” of the measurement data of the file D1 and the latest measurement data value “62 kg” in the received measurement history data is within a predetermined range (for example, Therefore, it may be determined that the user is the same as the user of the file D1.

  When the measurement data is stored in the file of the biometric device, the file storing the measurement result may be determined based on the personal authentication result and automatically stored in the corresponding file.

  Further, setting control (parameter and measurement data recording destination) of the biometric measurement unit may be performed based on the same user information as the measurement history data. For example, when determining body fat percentage, obesity, etc. together with measurement data, the judgment depends on gender, age, and height, so refer to the gender, age, and height of the user information to determine body fat percentage and obesity. The degree or the like may be determined.

  In this way, it is not necessary for the user to perform a user switching operation or a setting operation that has been performed on the biometric device so far, and thus a highly convenient biometric device can be provided.
