The present embodiment will be briefly described below. The terminal device (for example, the terminal device 10) of this embodiment operates a plurality of ophthalmologic devices (for example, the ophthalmologic device 1), for example. The terminal device mainly includes, for example, a communication unit (for example, the communication unit 77 or the like), a selection receiving unit (for example, the display unit 75, the operation unit 76, or the like), a control unit (for example, the control unit 70), or the like. .. The communication unit communicates with, for example, an ophthalmologic apparatus. The selection receiving unit receives, for example, a selection instruction for selecting at least one operation-targeted ophthalmic device from the plurality of ophthalmic devices. The control unit transmits a control signal to the ophthalmologic apparatus to be operated by the communication unit, for example. Thereby, the examiner can easily operate the plurality of ophthalmologic apparatuses using the terminal device.

The selection unit may include, for example, a display unit (for example, the display unit 75 and the like) and an operation receiving unit (for example, the operation unit 76 and the like). The display unit displays, for example, an operation area for operating the ophthalmologic apparatus. The operation area may be, for example, an icon, a screen, or the like. The operation receiving unit receives, for example, an operation from an examiner. In this case, the control unit causes the display unit to display, for example, the first operation area (for example, the icon 21a) and the second operation area (for example, the icon 21b). The first operation area is an area displayed on the display unit for operating the first ophthalmologic apparatus. The second operation area is an area displayed on the display unit for operating the second ophthalmologic apparatus different from the first ophthalmologic apparatus. Furthermore, the control unit transmits a first control signal for operating the first ophthalmologic apparatus to the first ophthalmologic apparatus, based on the operation on the first operation area received by the operation receiving section. In addition, the control unit transmits a second control signal for operating the second ophthalmologic apparatus to the second ophthalmologic apparatus based on the operation on the second operation area received by the operation receiving section. As described above, the terminal device according to the present embodiment can operate a plurality of ophthalmologic devices with the common terminal device.

Of course, when operating three or more ophthalmologic apparatuses, three or more operation areas may be displayed on the display unit. For example, the n-th operation area (n is a natural number) is displayed on the display unit, and the n-th control signal for operating the n-th ophthalmologic apparatus is output based on the operation on the n-th operation area received by the operation receiving unit. It may also be transmitted to an ophthalmic device.

The control unit may transmit the first control signal and the second control signal to the plurality of ophthalmologic apparatuses. In this case, for example, an identifier indicating which device is directed may be provided at the beginning of the control signal. With this, the plurality of ophthalmologic apparatuses may receive the control signal corresponding to the identifier among the signals transmitted from the terminal apparatus. Further, the control unit may transmit the control signal to the plurality of ophthalmologic apparatuses, and only the active ophthalmologic apparatus may receive the control signal.

Note that the control unit may acquire the first observation image (for example, the observation image 24a) and the second observation image (for example, the observation image 24f) by the communication unit. The first observation image is, for example, an image of the subject's eye photographed by the first ophthalmologic apparatus. The second observation image is, for example, an image of the subject's eye captured by the second ophthalmologic apparatus. In this case, the control unit displays the first observation image in the first operation area and the first observation image in the second operation area. This allows the examiner to confirm the observation images of the plurality of subjects measured by the plurality of ophthalmologic apparatuses.

In addition, the control unit may switchably display the first operation region and the second operation region on the display unit. In this case, since each operation area can be displayed large on the display unit, it is easy to see. Further, the control unit may cause the display unit to simultaneously display the first operation area and the second operation area. In this case, the examiner can grasp the state of each ophthalmologic apparatus at a glance.

It should be noted that the control unit may set either the first ophthalmologic apparatus or the second ophthalmologic apparatus as an operation target based on the operation on either the first operation area or the second operation area received by the operation reception unit. Good. Of course, when operating three or more ophthalmic devices, one of the first to nth ophthalmic devices is operated based on the operation on either the first operation region or the nth operation region received by the operation receiving unit. May be set as the operation target. In this way, the control unit may set the operation target to some of the ophthalmologic apparatuses among the plurality of ophthalmologic apparatuses.

Note that the control unit may change the operation target based on the operation on either the first operation region or the second operation region received by the operation receiving unit. For example, when the first ophthalmologic apparatus is set as the operation target, the control unit changes the operation target from the first ophthalmologic apparatus to the second ophthalmologic apparatus based on the operation on the second operation area received by the operation receiving unit. You may. This allows the examiner to operate a desired ophthalmic device among the plurality of ophthalmic devices.

When the first ophthalmologic apparatus is set as the operation target, the control unit emphasizes the first operation area on the display unit rather than the second operation area for operating the second ophthalmologic apparatus that is not the operation target. You may let me. For example, the control unit may display the operation area corresponding to the operation target ophthalmic device on the display unit in highlight display, dark display, oblique line display, or the like. The control unit may display the operation area corresponding to the operation target ophthalmologic apparatus brighter than the other operation areas, or may display the operation area by partially changing the color.

When the first ophthalmologic apparatus is set as the operation target, the control unit displays the first operation area on the display unit in a larger size than the second operation area for operating the second ophthalmologic apparatus that is not the operation target. Good. Thereby, the examiner can easily see the state of the ophthalmologic apparatus that is performing the measurement.

The control unit may set the measurement order of the plurality of ophthalmologic devices based on the operation received by the operation receiving unit. In this case, the control unit may sequentially highlight the plurality of operation areas according to the measurement order. This allows the examiner to easily understand which device should be monitored or operated next.

Note that the control unit may identify whether the plurality of ophthalmic devices are in the active state or the inactive state, based on the status signals acquired from the plurality of ophthalmic devices via the communication unit.

The control unit may transmit a control signal to the plurality of ophthalmic devices by the communication unit to switch the ophthalmic device between the active state and the inactive state. For example, the control unit may switch the active state and the inactive state for each of the plurality of ophthalmic devices, or may combine the plurality of ophthalmic devices with a single operation to set the active state and the inactive state. You may switch the state.

The control unit may set the measurement order of the plurality of ophthalmologic devices based on the operation received by the operation receiving unit. For example, the control unit may set the order in which the operation area corresponding to each ophthalmic device is operated as the measurement order. For example, when measuring the second ophthalmologic apparatus after the first ophthalmologic apparatus according to the measurement order, the control unit sets the first ophthalmologic apparatus to the inactive state when the measurement by the first ophthalmologic apparatus is completed, It may be activated.

The control unit may display a mark reminiscent of the first ophthalmologic apparatus in the first operation area. For example, the name, nickname, graphic, etc. of the ophthalmologic apparatus may be displayed in the first operation area. This allows the examiner to easily understand which device of the plurality of ophthalmic devices corresponds to the operation area.

The terminal device may further include a voice input unit. In this case, the control unit may transmit the voice input received from the voice input unit to the voice output unit provided in the ophthalmologic apparatus to be operated by the communication unit. This allows the examiner to explain the examination in words to the subject.

The terminal device may further include an image capturing unit. In this case, the control unit may transmit the image received from the imaging unit to the individual display unit (for example, the display unit 7a or the like) provided in the ophthalmologic apparatus to be operated by the communication unit. This allows the examiner to explain the examination to the subject by gesturing.

The control unit may execute the terminal control program stored in the storage unit (for example, the flash memory 72, the storage unit 74, etc.). The terminal control program may include, for example, a selection receiving step and a transmitting step. The selection receiving step is, for example, a step of receiving a selection instruction for selecting at least one operation-targeted ophthalmic device from the plurality of ophthalmic devices. The transmitting step is, for example, a step of transmitting a control signal to the ophthalmologic apparatus to be operated.

The terminal control program may include a display step, an operation acceptance step, a first transmission step, and a second transmission step. The displaying step includes, for example, a step of displaying a first operation area for operating the first ophthalmologic apparatus and a second operation area for operating a second ophthalmologic apparatus different from the first ophthalmologic apparatus on the display unit. Is. The operation receiving step is, for example, a step of receiving an operation on the first operation area or the second operation area. The first transmitting step is, for example, a step of transmitting a first control signal for operating the first ophthalmologic apparatus based on the operation on the first operation area received in the operation receiving step to the first ophthalmologic apparatus. The second transmission step is, for example, a step of transmitting a second control signal for operating the second ophthalmologic apparatus to the second ophthalmologic apparatus based on the operation on the second operation area received in the operation reception step.

The ophthalmologic apparatus operated by the terminal device may include, for example, a notification unit (for example, the indicator lamp 8, the audio output unit 9a, the display unit 7a, etc.). The notification unit may notify the examiner or the subject that the operation target is operated by the terminal device, for example.

The control unit may cause the display unit to display a confirmation screen (for example, the icon screen 20) on which the states of the plurality of ophthalmologic devices can be confirmed. Since the examiner can confirm the states of the plurality of ophthalmic devices at a glance on the confirmation screen, the examiner can quickly respond to the abnormality of the devices.

In addition, you may operate several ophthalmologic apparatuses using several terminal devices. For example, the same ophthalmic device may be associated with a plurality of terminal devices. In such a case, the terminal device that acquired the operation authority first operates the ophthalmologic apparatus, and the terminal device that acquired the operation authority later cannot be operated until the operation of the terminal device that acquired the operation authority first ends. May be.

The ophthalmologic apparatus operated by the terminal device may be an objective optometry apparatus or a subjective optometry apparatus.

<Example>
The terminal device of this embodiment will be described below. The terminal device 10 of this embodiment operates, for example, a plurality of ophthalmologic apparatuses 1 (see FIG. 1 ). For example, the terminal device 10 is communicably connected to a plurality of ophthalmologic apparatuses 1. For example, the terminal device 10 is connected to the plurality of ophthalmologic devices 1 by at least one of wireless and wired. For example, the terminal device 10 may transmit a command signal or the like to the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 and receive a measurement result or the like from the ophthalmologic apparatus 1. The terminal device 10 may be, for example, a tablet PC, a notebook PC, a smartphone, a desktop PC, or the like.

The terminal device 10 includes, for example, a control unit 70, a communication unit 77, an operation unit 76, a display unit 75, and the like. The control unit 70 is realized by, for example, a general CPU (Central Processing Unit) 71, a flash memory 72, a RAM 73, and the like. The flash memory 72 stores various programs for controlling the operation of the terminal device 10, initial values, and the like. The RAM 73 temporarily stores various information. The control unit 70 may be composed of a plurality of control units (that is, a plurality of processors).

As shown in FIG. 2, for example, a storage unit 74, an operation unit 76, a display unit 75, a communication unit 77, and the like are electrically connected to the control unit 70. The storage unit 74 is a non-transitory storage medium that can retain stored contents even when power supply is cut off. For example, a hard disk drive, a flash ROM, a removable USB memory, or the like can be used as the storage unit 74.

The communication unit 77 communicates with a plurality of ophthalmologic apparatuses 1, for example. For example, the communication unit 77 may send and receive radio waves and the like to and from each ophthalmologic apparatus 1. The communication unit 77 may communicate with the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 by wireless LAN, infrared communication, WiFi (registered trademark), Bluetooth (registered trademark), or the like, for example. Internet lines may be used. Of course, the communication unit 77 may communicate with each ophthalmologic apparatus 1 by a wired connection such as a USB cable or a LAN cable.

The display unit 75 displays, for example, an operation screen corresponding to each ophthalmologic apparatus 1 and a measurement result received from each ophthalmologic apparatus 1. A display of a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as "PC") may be used. Multiple displays may be used together. The display unit 75 may also have a touch panel function.

The operation unit 76 receives various operation instructions from the examiner. The operation unit 76 outputs an operation signal according to the input operation instruction to the control unit 70. For the operation unit 76, for example, a user interface such as a touch panel, a mouse, a joystick, or a keyboard may be used. When the display unit 75 is a touch panel, the display unit 75 also functions as the operation unit 76.

As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the icon screen 20 is displayed on the display unit 75. The icon screen 20 is a screen for confirming and operating the state of each ophthalmologic apparatus 1. An icon 21 corresponding to each ophthalmologic apparatus 1 is displayed on the icon screen 20. The icon 21 may be, for example, the screen itself displayed on the display unit 7a of the ophthalmologic apparatus, may include an image, a shape, a name, a nickname, or the like that reminds each ophthalmologic apparatus 1, or may be a combination thereof. The icon of the present embodiment is the shape of the operation screen on which the external views 22a to 22f of the respective devices are displayed (see FIG. 3). For example, the icons 21a to 21f may have a common form or different forms.

On the icon screen 20, a plurality of icons 21 corresponding to each ophthalmologic apparatus 1 are displayed. For example, the control unit 70 causes the display unit 75 to display icons corresponding to different ophthalmologic apparatuses 1 side by side. The examiner confirms the state of each ophthalmologic apparatus 1, the measurement result, and the like by the icon 21 displayed on the display unit 75. The examiner may operate each ophthalmologic apparatus 1 by performing a specific operation input on the icon 21 displayed on the display unit 75.

<About ophthalmic equipment>
The ophthalmologic apparatus 1 connected to the terminal device 10 is, for example, an eye refractive power measuring device, a non-contact tonometer, an ocular axial length measuring device, a corneal endothelial cell imaging device, an optical tomographic imaging device, a fundus imaging device, a local visual field. It may be a meter, a corneal shape measuring device, a reflector, or the like. The ophthalmologic apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment includes an optometry unit 2 and a drive unit 3, and measures a subject in a fully automatic manner. Therefore, the examiner does not need to operate near each device, and only needs to confirm the state and the measurement result of the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 from a distant place using the terminal device 10.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 may include an optometry unit 2, a control unit 7, a communication unit 5, a base 6, a face support unit 4, a drive unit 3, and the like. The control unit 7 is connected to the optometry unit 2, the communication unit 5, the driving unit 3, and the like, and controls the ophthalmologic apparatus 1. The communication unit 5 communicates with the terminal device 10. For example, the communication unit 5 transmits and receives radio waves to and from the communication unit 77 of the terminal device 10. The optometry unit 2 performs an examination (measurement, photographing, etc.) of the subject's eye. The optometry unit 2 includes, for example, an observation optical system 2a and an inspection optical system 2b. The observation optical system 2a and the inspection optical system 2b include, for example, a light source, an optical element (for example, lens, mirror, etc.), a light receiving element (for example, CCD, etc.) and the like. The drive unit 3 may be provided, for example, on the base 6 to move the optometry unit 2 in the three-dimensional direction with respect to the subject's eye E. The face support unit 4 supports the face of the subject. The face support 4 may include, for example, a chin rest 4a, a forehead support 4b, and the like.

Furthermore, the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 may include a display unit 7a, a voice output unit (for example, a speaker) 9a, a voice input unit (for example, a microphone) 9b, an indicator lamp (for example, a pilot lamp) 8, and the like. The display unit 7a, the voice output unit 9a, the voice input unit 9b, and the indicator lamp 8 are connected to the control unit 7, for example. The display unit 7a displays, for example, an operation screen, an inspection result, and the like. The display unit 7a may be provided, for example, on the subject side or on the opposite side to the subject. The display unit 7a may be able to change the direction of the screen so as to face the subject side. The voice output unit 9a outputs a predetermined voice guidance stored in a storage unit (not shown) connected to the control unit 7. Alternatively, the voice input by the voice input unit 79 of the terminal device 10 may be output. The voice input unit 9b receives, for example, the voice of the subject. The voice output unit 9a and the voice input unit 9b provided in each of the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 and the terminal device 10 enable conversation and instructions even when the examiner and the examinee are located apart from each other.

The indicator lamp 8 may be arranged, for example, on the chin rest 4a, the forehead rest 4b, and the upper part of the main body. The indicator light 8 is turned on, for example, when the device 1 is in an active state. For example, the subject can confirm whether the device 1 is in the active state (for example, measurable state, power ON, etc.) or inactive state (for example, sleep state, power saving state, power OFF) by checking the indicator light 8. I can figure out if there is. In addition, the control unit 7 may turn on or blink the indicator light 8 of the device for the next measurement. As a result, the subject can move to the next place of the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 without hesitation. The display 7a may be used as the indicator lamp 8.

<Control operation>
The control operation when managing the plurality of ophthalmologic apparatuses 1 using the terminal device 10 as described above will be described based on the flowcharts of FIGS. 4 and 5. For example, the examiner confirms the state of each ophthalmologic apparatus 1 and supports measurement by using the terminal device 10.

Note that the examiner may make settings (for example, pairing) in which the terminal device 10 and the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 are associated with each other before measurement. For example, the control unit 70 may detect a radio wave output from each ophthalmologic apparatus and store the information (for example, an identification signal) in the storage unit 74. As a result, the control unit 70 can identify the radio wave from each ophthalmologic apparatus.

(Step S1)
First, the examiner sets the measurement order of the plurality of ophthalmologic apparatuses 1A to 1F. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the examiner may input the measurement order to the terminal device 10 by touching the respective icons 21a to 21f in the order of measurement. When the icon 21 is touched, the display unit 75 detects a touch operation and sends an operation signal to the control unit 70. The control unit 70 receives, for example, an operation signal from the display unit 75.

The control unit 70 receives the operation signal output from the display unit 75 and causes the storage unit 74 to store the order in which the icons 21 are touched. The control unit 70 may change the display of the icon 21 touched by the examiner to indicate that it has been selected. For example, the control unit 70 may display the selected icon 21 in highlight display, dark display, diagonal display, or the like (see, for example, FIGS. 6 and 7). The control unit 70 may also display the numbers 23a to 23c indicating the measurement order near the selected icon 21. Note that the examiner does not have to select all the ophthalmologic apparatuses 1 and may select only the apparatus that performs the measurement.

(Step S2)
The control unit 70 reads out the measurement order set in step S1 from the storage unit 74 and starts controlling the device (for example, the first device 1A) that first performs the measurement (see FIG. 5). For example, the control unit 70 transmits an activation signal to the first device 1A by the communication unit 77 (step S2-1).

Upon receiving the activation signal from the terminal device 10, the control unit 7 of the first device 1A activates the first device 1A. Then, the control unit 7 of the first device 1A transmits the observation image 24 photographed by the optometry unit 2 to the terminal device 10. The terminal device 10 receives the observation image 24a from the first device 1A and displays it on the display unit 75 (see FIG. 7). For example, the observation image 24a may be displayed in a partial area of the icon 21a of the first device 1A. In addition to the observation image 24a, the icon 21 may display necessary information such as the state of the subject (for example, the state of contact between the face support portion 4 and the face), the state of the device, and the like.

For example, the examiner may recognize that the first device 1A is in the active state by checking the observation image displayed on the icon of the first device 1A. For example, the examiner observes the observation image and monitors how the automatic measurement is performed. The ophthalmologic apparatus 1 automatically performs alignment and measurement.

In addition, the terminal device 10 may transmit an operation signal to the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 in the active state (step S2-2). For example, the examiner may operate the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 in the active state by performing an operation input on the icon 21. For example, the examiner may move the device in the XYZ directions by touching the observation screen 24a displayed on the icon 21a and performing a drag operation, a pinch operation, or the like. For example, the control unit 70 moves the optometry unit 2 of each ophthalmologic apparatus 1 in the XY directions according to the examiner's drag operation detected by the display unit 75 touch panel, and according to the pinch operation of each ophthalmologic apparatus 1. The optometry unit 2 may be moved in the Z direction (see Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-202700).

When the measurement of the eye E by the first device 1A is completed, the control unit 70 receives the measurement result (step S2-3). For example, the control unit 70 may periodically send a request signal for status information to the ophthalmologic apparatus 1. The ophthalmologic apparatus 1 may send the status information of the apparatus to the terminal apparatus 10 each time the request signal from the control unit 70 is received. Upon receiving the measurement completion status information from the ophthalmologic apparatus 1, the control unit 70 may request the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 to transmit the measurement result. For example, the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 transmits the measurement result to the terminal device 10 when the measurement result is requested. Of course, the status information, the measurement result, and the like may be unilaterally transmitted to the terminal device 10 from the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 without a request from the terminal device 10.

Upon receiving the measurement result, the control unit 70 may store the measurement result in the storage unit 74. Further, the control unit 70 may display the measurement result stored in the storage unit 74 in a partial area of the corresponding icon 21.

When the control unit 70 receives the measurement result from the first device 1A, it may send a stop signal to the first device 1A (step S2-4). Upon receiving the stop signal, the first device 1A becomes inactive. Since each ophthalmologic apparatus 1 is automatically controlled to be inactive based on the stop signal from the terminal device 10, unnecessary power consumption is suppressed (see FIG. 8).

(Step S3)
The control unit 70 transmits a stop signal to the first device 1A and then transmits a start signal to the second device 1B. Similarly to the first device 1A, the second device 1B receives the measurement start signal from the control unit 70, measures the subject, and transmits the measurement result to the terminal device 10. When acquiring the measurement result from the second ophthalmologic apparatus 1B, the terminal device 10 puts the second apparatus 1B in the inactive state.

(Step S4)
The control unit 70 repeats the above-described control to perform the measurement in the order set in step S1 and obtain the measurement results measured by the plurality of ophthalmologic apparatuses 1A to 1F. The examiner may give an instruction to the subject from the voice input unit 79 of the terminal device 10 as necessary. When the measurement is completed in all the ophthalmologic apparatuses 1 set in step S1, the control unit 70 makes all the ophthalmologic apparatuses 1 inactive, for example. The control unit 70 may display a list of the measurement results obtained by each device on the display unit 75.

In this way, by displaying the icons 21 corresponding to the plurality of ophthalmologic apparatuses 1 on the display unit 75, it is possible to manage and operate two or more ophthalmologic apparatuses 1 with one terminal device 10. Moreover, since a plurality of ophthalmologic apparatuses 1 can be operated with one terminal device 10, the examiner does not necessarily have to be near the apparatus 1 and can be operated from a distant position. Further, the examiner does not necessarily have to move for each device, and can operate while staying in the same place.

Further, since the measurement result can be confirmed and operated by the terminal device 10, it is not always necessary to provide one or both of the display unit and the operation unit for each device.

Of course, a plurality of terminal devices 10 may control a plurality of ophthalmologic apparatuses 1. In this case, only the terminal device 10 that has the operation authority first may operate the ophthalmologic apparatus. At this time, the other terminal device 10 that does not have the operation authority may be put on hold and the operation state by the terminal device having the operation authority may be displayed on the display unit 75.

In addition, when using a plurality of terminal devices 10, the ophthalmologic apparatus may be divided into a plurality of groups and the terminal devices may be assigned to each group.

In the above example, the measurement order is set, and the active state and the inactive state are automatically switched according to the set measurement order, but the measurement order may be switched according to the operator's operation on the icon 21. For example, the device 1 may be switched between the active state and the inactive state by touching the icon 21. For example, the control unit 70 may transmit an activation signal for switching the target ophthalmologic apparatus 1 to the active state when the inactive icon 21 is touched. On the other hand, when the stop button 27 of the icon 21 in the active state is touched, the control unit 70 may transmit a stop signal for switching the target ophthalmologic apparatus 1 to the inactive state (see FIGS. 7 and 8). ).

Thereby, the examiner can change the arrangement of the icons according to the layout of the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 in the examination room, and can easily understand the correspondence between the apparatuses and the icons.

Further, the control unit 70 may display the icon 21 with an arbitrary image as a background. For example, the control unit 70 may superimpose the icon 21 on a layout image in which a room wall, a partition, a desk, etc. are drawn. Thereby, the examiner can easily understand the correspondence between the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 displayed on the display unit 75 and the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 in the examination room. Of course, the control unit 70 may superimpose the icon 21 on an image captured by a camera (not shown) provided in the terminal device 10.

Each ophthalmologic apparatus 1 may include a notification unit. For example, the notification unit may indicate to the examinee or the examiner that measurement/imaging is to be performed, or may notify the examiner of a measurement/imaging error or an abnormal occurrence of the ophthalmologic apparatus 1. For example, the notification unit may be the above-described indicator lamp 8, display unit 7a, audio output unit 9a, or the like. For example, the notification unit may turn on/blink the indicator lamp 8, flash the screen of the display unit 75, change the color, or output a voice by the voice output unit 9a. Good. In addition, the notification unit may notify the subject or the examiner of the measurement order, the measurement start, or the like by displaying a number indicating the measurement order on the display unit 7a.

It should be noted that the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 detects the presence of the face or the eye E of the subject and automatically makes the screens of the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 and the terminal device 10 active so that measurement and operation can be performed. Good. For example, the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 may detect the presence of the face or eye of the subject based on the light reception signal of the light receiving element provided in the optometry unit. Further, for example, the ophthalmologic apparatus 1 may detect the presence of the face or the eye E of the subject by the sensor provided in the face supporting unit 4.
