Embodiment of invention

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
The present invention is basically a display device having a statistical function over time. Here, the “statistical function over time” is a function that statistically processes an event that changes numerically with the passage of time in accordance with a time series, and further acquires some tendency or signal from the result.

  There are countless such statistical functions, but examples include personal statistics such as changes in body weight and body temperature, social statistics such as various statistics in investment data, and natural statistics such as daily temperature changes. And so on.

  These basically include variables with respect to time, but need not be one type of variable (data) with respect to time, and may be two or more types of variables.

  Such data includes personal data, social data, and natural data as described above, and the present invention includes all of them.

  Personal data includes physical data such as body weight, body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar level, and financial data such as changes in the value of the owned portfolio. The social data typically includes economic data such as stock prices, exchange rates, indices, and commodity market conditions. Natural data typically includes temperature data such as temperature and water temperature, weather data such as humidity and barometric pressure, astronomical data such as moon age, sunrise time, sunset time, south and middle time, tide, and planetary arrangement. .

  There are a myriad of functions to acquire some trends and signals from the results of statistical processing, and the present invention includes all of them.For example, body temperature is used to predict the date of ovulation in women's basal body temperature change and to predict the presence of pregnancy. Etc. In other words, the basal body temperature of a woman is generally biphasic divided into a “low temperature period” and a “high temperature period” within the physiological cycle. The number of days that the low temperature period lasts depends on the length of each person's menstrual cycle. It takes 1 to 2 days from the low temperature period to the high temperature period, and the high temperature period lasts around two weeks. The difference in basal body temperature between the low temperature and high temperature is 0.3-0.5 ° C. Since there are actually differences among individuals, there are some fluctuations, but it can be estimated that ovulation is performed anywhere from several days around the end of the low temperature period to just after the start of the high temperature period. Therefore, it is possible to predict the date of ovulation by accumulating changes in basal body temperature as data.

  In the apparatus of the present invention, these statistical data are visually displayed as a graph, and signals and information obtained thereby are displayed on a calendar or specially displayed on a day corresponding to the signal. For example, during the period on the calendar, a display corresponding to that, for example, changing the text and background color of the screen or calendar, playing special music on that day, displaying a message, displaying an image or video To do.

  For example, in the above-mentioned ovulation prediction, it is possible to display the ovulation prediction zone on the calendar by a change of characters and background color, and within this prediction zone, for example, a picture of a child is displayed on the display screen, Videos related to or suggesting pregnancy can be streamed.

The device of the present invention can also associate non-numeric data as reference data.
For example, in the case of body weight, the date-weight statistical data can be obtained basically by inputting the daily weight as data, but in the present invention, the daily meal content is added as descriptive data or as photographic data. Thus, it is possible to show a specific item in association with the calorie intake.

  The same applies to investment data. For example, changes in stock price, exchange rate, and index registered in advance may be displayed daily or weekly, with a moving average line, or an investment signal may be displayed. .

  In order to perform such a function, the device of the present invention generally includes a data acquisition unit and a display unit for acquiring data, a data storage unit for storing the acquired data, and data based on the data. It is preferable to include a statistical processing unit that performs the time-lapse statistical processing, and a display control unit that displays the statistical result obtained by the processing of the statistical processing unit on the display unit in association with time.

  The data acquisition unit for acquiring data includes data input means for the user to input data and / or data acquisition means for automatically acquiring data and / or data acquisition means for acquiring data from other data storage media.

  The data input means may be attached as a keyboard or numeric keypad separately from the display device main body of the present invention, or for example, all or part of the display device may function as a touch panel. The input of data by these means is well known to those skilled in the art.

  The data collection means for automatically collecting data includes a sensor such as a temperature sensor and an atmospheric pressure sensor, or is attached as a wearable sensor to be worn on the body, for example, using radio waves or infrared rays. May be used to send and receive data, or a part of the user's body (eg, a finger) may be inserted and data (eg, blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar level, sweating) collected from it . Alternatively, various data may be collected by connecting to the Internet or the like by a certain site or search. For this purpose, or for updating / changing a program to be described later, the device of the present invention is preferably connectable to the Internet by itself or through some mediating means.

  The data fetching means has, for example, a method for fetching data from another device (for example, a mobile phone, a personal computer, or a measuring device having USB output) through a USB or the like, a slot for various data recording media, and the like. It may be one that captures. Further, data may be captured by non-contact proximity communication such as FeliCa or contact communication. Furthermore, for example, an image capturing function may be used to capture an image as data.

  In the example of the basal body temperature described above, when the device of the present invention has a touch panel as a display screen, the user can measure the body temperature every day, for example, immediately after getting up, and input it on the touch panel. Alternatively, when a thermometer having an electronic communication function is used as a part of the device of the present invention or a device that can be connected thereto, the user measures the body temperature every day, for example, immediately after getting up, and the data is received by the communication function. The Alternatively, when a thermometer having a wired or proximity communication function is used, the user measures body temperature every day, for example, immediately after getting up, and the data is transferred to the device of the present invention as data by a USB terminal cable or non-contact proximity communication. Entered.

  Such measurement may be performed at a time. For example, when a bracelet or ring-shaped measuring device is provided as an external or accessory device, the bracelet or ring measures blood pressure, heart rate, blood glucose level, oxygen saturation, and other blood components invasively or non-invasively. It is possible. Non-invasive measuring means is, for example, by optical means.

The display unit is a liquid crystal display, organic EL (Electro
Luminescence) display, plasma display, and the like are generally used as long as they are used in a thin display, and are preferably configured as a touch panel. Basically, various display screens that can be switched by a “menu” screen and a “menu” are included.

  The various display screens that can be switched are not particularly limited except that the statistical data display function according to the present invention is essential. For example, the date, time, calendar (week, month, year), alarm-related display, schedule, etc. Tables, anniversaries (which may be displayed as part of the calendar or may be displayed with special images on the anniversaries), specific work progress, fortune-telling, recorded or captured images, Arbitrary pages on the Internet, such as portal sites, blogs, Facebook walls, and the like. These display screens may be automatically switched by user switching or initial setting, which will be described later, or a plurality of display screens may be displayed simultaneously on the display unit.

  Examples of the “menu” include selection of the switching screen, user switching, statistical data switching, initial setting, and the like. There are various ways to display the menu, all of which may be displayed together, or a pop-up menu or pull-down menu.

  The data storage unit may be shared with a later-described statistical processing unit or a work area such as various controls, or may be used alone, and the function may be an internal memory, a memory such as a RAM, an HDD (hard disk drive), or the like. A replaceable memory such as a USB memory or a flash memory may be used.
