When the stored blood pressure data is printed, the newly stored blood pressure data is printed in order (Patent Document 1).

  For example, when blood pressure data for 14 times is stored in the memory, when the print switch of the sphygmomanometer is pressed, the CPU reads from the oldest blood pressure data stored in the memory to the most recently stored blood pressure data in order. Print in order.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 04-061503

  However, in the above-described conventional electronic blood pressure monitor, when blood pressure data is stored as shown in FIG. 8A, when printing is performed on November 2, the latest stored information is stored. Blood pressure data from October 19th to November 2nd, which is data for 14 days, is printed.

  Further, when blood pressure data is stored as shown in FIG. 8B, if printing is executed on November 12, the latest 14-day data stored from October 22 is stored. Blood pressure data up to November 5 will be printed. Then, blood pressure data from October 22 to November 2 is printed on both the printing paper printed on November 2 and the printing paper printed on November 12.

  In other words, since blood pressure data for a predetermined number of times is printed from the latest measurement, the printed blood pressure data is blood pressure data straddling the month or the same blood pressure data is printed on different printing papers. There is a problem that it is complicated to store and manage printed matter.

  Further, in the above-described conventional electronic blood pressure monitor, when blood pressure data is stored as shown in FIG. 8B, when printing is executed on November 12, the latest 14 days stored are stored. Since the minute data is printed, blood pressure data before October 21 is not printed.

  That is, since blood pressure data for a predetermined number of times is printed from the latest measurement, even if blood pressure data before 14 times (2 weeks) is stored, it cannot be printed. There was a problem that it was not possible to print and confirm the measured value.

The measured person selects and presses either the data advance button 210 or the data advance button 211.

  When the data advance button 210 is selected, the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 reads and displays blood pressure data that matches a specified category such as the user “1” or “morning” in order from the newest one.

  When the data backward button 211 is selected, the blood pressure data matching the specified category such as the user “1” or “morning” is read and displayed in order from the oldest, contrary to the above. Thereafter, the data is read and displayed in the same procedure as when the data advance button 210 is pressed.

  When the morning / night conditions are designated before the user is designated by the user selection button, the latest blood pressure data is displayed as the morning / night blood pressure data of the user who called the blood pressure data immediately before. Thereafter, each time the data advance button 210 is pressed, the data is displayed in the newest order and the process ends.

  In addition, when the measured person presses the user advance button 208 or 209 and then presses the data advance button 210 or the data return button 211, the blood pressure data of the selected user is the latest regardless of whether it is morning or night. Read and display from the oldest or oldest.

  When the morning / night selection buttons 212 and 213 are pressed after the user selection buttons 208 and 209 are pressed, blood pressure data of a specified condition of the corresponding user's morning or night is displayed.

  When a button other than the data advance button 210 or the data backward button 211 is pressed, the display is switched to the blood pressure data of the pressed condition.

  The blood pressure data reading method is such that the oldest data and the newest data are connected endlessly, that is, for example, when the data advance button 210 is selected, the newest data is read after the oldest data. In this way, it may be configured to be read cyclically.

  Further, when the data advance button 210 or the data backward button 211 is continuously pressed, it may be configured to fast forward.

A case will be described where printing is executed by pressing the print button 207 in a state where the blood pressure data on October 20 is called and displayed. In this case, since the called blood pressure data is included in the second half of October, the blood pressure data measured between October 16 and October 31 in the second half of October is called and printed.

  FIG. 5 shows a printing result in the above case. Blood pressure data measured between October 16 and October 31 is printed on the printing paper. In the upper row, the maximum blood pressure value and the minimum blood pressure value are displayed in graphs. The measurement date is printed in the lower date column, and the pulse rate is printed in the pulse column.

  At this time, since blood pressure data is not stored on October 16, 18 and 26, the upper graph and the lower pulse rate are not printed. As described above, nothing may be printed on the day when the blood pressure data is not stored, but the upper graph may print a graph connecting the data of previous and subsequent days without blood pressure data.

Next, in FIG. 4, a case where printing is executed by pressing the print button 207 in a state where the blood pressure data on November 5 is called and displayed will be described. In this case, the called blood pressure data is

Further, since November 12, it is not measured because it is a day before the print execution date. Therefore, after November 6, the upper graph of the printing paper and the lower pulse rate are not printed.

  As described above, according to the present invention, regardless of the print execution date, the blood pressure data is printed by determining the print range of the blood pressure data depending on whether the called blood pressure data is included in the first half or the second half of the month. Therefore, if the print results for each half month are stored one by one, it is possible to refer to all the blood pressure data in time series without overlapping the print range of the blood pressure data, thereby making it easy to manage the blood pressure data. The transition of blood pressure in time series can be easily compared.

  In addition, since the print range is determined by selecting blood pressure data, even if there is a period for which printing is forgotten, the blood pressure data in that period is selected and printed, so that there is no omission in management of blood pressure data. It is something that can be done.

  In this embodiment, the print range is determined in the first half or the second half of the month depending on whether the selected blood pressure data is included in the first half or the second half of the month. However, the respective print ranges do not overlap after printing according to the selected blood pressure data. If the printing range is determined in this way, it is possible to set various printing ranges such as one month, two months, or even one week.
