FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the IoT measurement device 2 in the first embodiment of the present invention. Specific usage examples and operations will be described along the flowchart.
For example, when a user stands in front of the IoT measuring device 2 and places a finger on the finger placement unit 22, the camera 21 captures an image of the user's face, and the face recognition unit 25 recognizes the user's face (Step ST1). The method of face recognition by a camera is a known technique, and thus the detailed description is omitted here.

  Next, the user determination unit 27 collates the face of the user whose face is recognized by the face recognition unit 25 with data for face authentication of a plurality of persons registered in advance and stored in the registered user storage unit 26. Thus, it is determined who the face recognized user is (user's name) (step ST2). At this time, for example, the user determination unit 27 causes the display operation unit 23 to display a confirmation dialog such as “Do you have a mistake with Mr. ○?”, And the user presses a button such as “YES” or “confirm” Thus, it is determined that the determination of the user is correct (in the case of YES in step ST3). If the user makes a mistake (if the user presses the button "NO" or "re-recognize", etc.), the process returns to step ST1 to repeat face recognition (in the case of NO at step ST3).

  Further, the health data detection unit 28 detects health data (vital data) such as blood pressure, heart rate, pulse and the like of the user from the finger of the user placed on the finger placement unit 22 (step ST4). A method of detecting health data (vital data) by placing a finger is also a known technique, and thus the detailed description is omitted here.

  Then, the health data transmission unit 29 automatically uses the health data detection unit 28 to detect health data (vital data) detected by the health data detection unit 28 as a trigger that the user determination unit 27 determines the user's name. It matches with the name of the user judged by, and transmits to the health SNS platform 11 of the cloud server 10 (step ST5).

  In the first embodiment, it has been described that data for face authentication of a plurality of persons are registered in advance in registered user storage unit 26. However, each user uses IoT measuring device 2 for the first time The IoT measuring device 2 may have a function capable of registering face authentication data only at the first time.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the IoT measuring device 2 determines the registered user storage unit 26 in which data for face authentication of a plurality of persons are registered in advance, and the user who determines who the face recognized user is Although it has been described that the determination unit 27 is provided, the two functions may be provided in the cloud server 10. In that case, the registered user storage unit 26 and the user determination unit 27 provided in the IoT measurement device 2 have functions provided in the cloud server 10, and the IoT measurement device 2 makes a face request to the cloud server 10 for face authentication. The authentication request unit and the user name acquisition unit that acquires the result of the user determination made by the cloud server 10 performing the face authentication will be provided.

  For example, when a user's name and health data (vital data) are transmitted from the IoT measuring device 2, the data acquisition unit 12 acquires the user's name and health data (vital data) (step ST11). The user's name is associated with the health data (vital data) and stored in the data storage unit 13 (step ST12).

  Next, when the request acquisition unit 14 acquires a data request from the IoT measurement device 2 (in the case of YES in step ST13), the data processing unit 15 performs daily processing of the user based on the data stored in the data storage unit 13. The blood pressure, pulse, and other data are processed into a graph (step ST14), and the data output unit 16 transmits the data processed by the data processing unit 15 to the IoT measuring device 2 (step ST15).

  Note that the data request acquired by the request acquiring unit 14 may be a data request acquired using the user's IoT measurement device 2 as a face authentication and user determination as a trigger. For example, a “data request” button or the like may be displayed on the display operation unit 23 of the IoT measurement device 2 and a data request may be acquired triggered by the user pressing the button.

  In this way, the user's health data (vital data) is automatically transmitted to the cloud server 10 and recorded only when the user stands in front of the IoT measurement device 2 and places his finger for several seconds. You will be able to manage your health by inputting your own health data (vital data) on a continuous basis without effort and effort.

  In addition, when this IoT measuring instrument 2 is installed in, for example, a factory of a company, the company manages the health status of the employees working in the factory to maintain, maintain, and improve the health, and appropriate medical expenses. This can lead to improvement of productivity and productivity, and further improvement of corporate image. In addition, cooperation with working hours etc. can also be expected to detect an employee's illness early.

  Furthermore, when face authentication is performed and user determination is performed, or when the user presses a data request button or the like, the health data (vital data) of the user recorded in the cloud server 10 is a graph. By being displayed on the display operation unit 23 of the IoT measurement device 2, the user himself can easily grasp the daily health situation, and the user stands in front of the IoT measurement device 2 every day. Can also lead to a motivation to do a health check.

  Further, in the first embodiment, as health data (vital data) detected by the health data detection unit 28, blood pressure, heart rate, pulse and the like have been described as an example, but others, for example, blood oxygen concentration, blood viscosity, etc. If the user puts in the ear a thermometer connected to the IoT measuring device 2 by wire, or if the user brings the face close to the IoT measuring device 2, the temperature from the forehead of the user It is also possible to detect the user's body temperature by providing a function such as

  On the other hand, there are many well-known SNS (Facebook (registered trademark), Twitter (registered trademark), etc.) and personal blogs that have been written about health and diseases. It is difficult to search for a specific illness or condition, and if you use the search function of a common browser, certain post posts such as celebrities, celebrities, entertainers will be hit However, it is difficult to share information with people with the same general symptoms, as the posts of general users do not hit much.

  However, if the health SNS of the first embodiment is registered, the user can use his / her own health SNS platform 11 via the information terminal 3 (3a, 3b,...) Such as a personal smartphone or personal computer. You can write a variety of stories (storys of your own), including health issues and lifestyle habits, such as illnesses, symptoms, distress, past treatment and experience with the illness, and awareness. In addition, it is also possible to numerically input health data (vital data) such as blood pressure, pulse, temperature measured by a blood pressure monitor or thermometer of one's own. Not only the patient himself but also the patient's family can write. Then, various searches can be performed on this health SNS platform 11.

  The block diagram showing the internal function of this health SNS platform 11 is as the block diagram shown in FIG. 5, and the flowchart showing the operation of health SNS platform 11 is the same as the flowchart shown in FIG. Along with it, the concrete operation regarding exchange with information terminal 3 (3a, 3b, ...) of health SNS platform 11 is explained.

  Next, when the request acquisition unit 14 acquires a data request from the information terminal 3 (which may be another information terminal 3b) (YES in step ST13), the data processing unit 15 acquires the data storage unit. Based on the data stored in 13, processing such as searching and listing data according to the data request acquired by the request acquiring unit 14 is performed (step ST14), and the data output unit 16 The processed data is transmitted to the information terminal 3 for which the data request has been made (step ST15).

  In this case, as the data request acquired by the request acquiring unit 14, a search request for a disease name, a symptom, a therapy, a trouble, etc. input by the user via the information terminal 3, thinking about health (diet, supplement, health It may be any request related to information that the user wanted to know, such as a browsing request of the law). That is, this health SNS platform 11 also has a search function in SNS, and performs various searches according to the name of the disease, whether or not it is a disabled person, whether or not it is a patient with intractable disease, the type of trouble, etc. Platform (or application) that can

  Presently, experiences of various people, such as people who write about personal illness and health on general SNS and blogs, players who participate in the Paralympic Games, entertainers who have had a major illness, etc. However, in a general browser search, only the writing of some famous people is hit, so I do not know that there are many people who have the same trouble, or people with the same symptoms and information However, with the health SNS platform 11 of this invention, it is possible to refer to various experiences and opinions, and to share information with people with the same symptoms. , I can predict the future progression, be encouraged mentally, I can get the peace of mind that patients with intractable diseases who have similar worries are not only myself, the same Such as get the courage or Ae understand or each other encouragement to know such as a person or family circumstances, it can be expected various effects on the care of the spirit plane.

  At this time, it is possible for the user to more enjoyable input by adopting an input method in a conversational form. Moreover, as the data processed by the data processing unit 15, other than graphing health data (vital data) of one's own, points where points are added daily to data input by the user, Make it possible to output gamified things, such as displaying comparison results with data of people who became friends in health SNS. Thereby, the user sees, for example, the graphed one and recognizes that the numerical value of his health data (vital data) is getting better, there is a pleasure that points are added, friends It is possible to compete by comparison with the above, so it can be expected that it will be more likely that you will continue to enter data every day.
