[0033]
Operations of the biological information communication terminal 2 and the biological information server 3 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0034]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an operation procedure of the biological information communication terminal 2. The operation of the biological information communication terminal 2 will be described according to the steps in FIG.
[0035]
(Step A1) Immediately after the terminal is activated, the user information acquisition unit 17 controls the terminal communication unit 15 to connect to the biological information server 3. The personal information (name, address, telephone number, insurance card number, illness name, etc.) of the user assigned to the terminal is acquired and stored in the user information storage unit 18. In the biometric information server 3, the personal information transmission unit 34 searches and acquires the personal information storage unit 35 in the database, and transmits it to the user information acquisition unit 17.
[0036]
(Step A2) After acquiring the user information, the keyword acquiring unit 21 connects to the biometric information server 3 via the terminal communication unit 15, and is a character string replacement rule (to be converted) of the XML / HTML file displayed on the browser unit 19. Keyword and its replacement rules). The character string replacement rule is stored in the replacement rule storage unit 37 in the biological information server 3, and the replacement rule transmission unit 36 transmits it to the biological information communication terminal 2. The character string replacement rule acquired by the keyword acquisition unit 21 is stored in the keyword storage unit 22.
[0037]
(Step A3) The input / output control unit 14 in the biological information communication terminal 2 confirms that the user information storage unit 18 has been updated, and displays a login screen on the display unit 12. The screen transition on the display unit 12 is shown in FIG. The login screen is shown in FIG. The biometric information communication terminal 2 in the present embodiment is configured to be used by a plurality of users. The display unit 12 and the input unit 13 are integrated in this embodiment, and are configured by a liquid crystal display with a touch panel. The input / output control unit 14 displays a list of user names stored in the user information storage unit 18 on the display unit 12 as shown in FIG.
[0038]
(Step A4) The user selects his / her name displayed on the screen. The input unit 13 configured with a touch panel detects the selection and causes the user management unit 16 to store the user selection result. The user management unit 16 manages information on a currently logged-in user (current user).
[0039]
(Step A5) After the user selection operation, the input / output control unit 14 causes the display unit 12 to display a menu screen. FIG. 5B shows an example of the menu screen. The menu screen displays the processing performed on the terminal side and the functions of the terminal in an easy-to-understand manner so that the user can select them. In the example of FIG. 5B, four functions of “blood pressure measurement”, “blood glucose level measurement”, “weight measurement”, and “WEB” are presented to the user. The terminal performs a designated process according to the user's selection on the touch panel.
[0040]
(Step A6) The input / output control unit 14 detects which one of the functions presented on the menu screen has been selected by the user using the input unit 13, and switches the process. In this embodiment, if the “WEB” function is selected, the process proceeds to step A7. If items related to measurement such as “blood pressure measurement”, “blood glucose level measurement”, and “weight measurement” are selected, the process proceeds to step A12. The “WEB” function is to access HTML / XML contents on the Internet or intranet, contents such as images, sounds, and videos, and provide various information services such as medical / health information services and mail order / reservation to users. It is a function to provide. The measurement-related functions such as “blood pressure measurement” are functions for transmitting the measurement result by the biological information measuring unit 1 to the biological information server 3 and displaying the measurement procedure on the display unit 12.
[0041]
(Step A7) When the “WEB” function is selected, the input / output control unit 14 activates the URL acquisition unit 20, and connects the connection destination information (URL and its argument) of the browser unit for the logged-in user to the biological information server. Get from 3. Examples of specific URLs and arguments are shown below.
[0042]
(Example) http: //www.shop.com.user-name= "Taro Yamada"
In this case, the URL part is “http://www.shop.com”, and the argument is ““ user-name = Taro Yamada ””. When the URL is managed for each user, the user name can be specified as an argument as in the above example, and when connected, the user name can be passed to the other server.
[0043]
The connection destination information is stored for each user in the URL storage unit 39 in the database of the biometric information server 3, and is transmitted to the biometric information communication terminal 2 by the URL transmission unit 38.
[0044]
Note that the URL and arguments that are connection destination information are not only stored for each user in the URL storage unit 39, but may be set in various classifications such as for each disease name, for each doctor in charge, for each hospital, and for each residential area. good. As for the argument, not only personal information such as a name but also other information may be used.
[0045]
The connection destination information obtained by the URL acquisition unit 20 is transmitted to the browser unit 19.
[0046]
(Step A8) The browser unit 19 controls the terminal communication unit 15 to connect to the acquired connection destination, and acquires a content file such as HTML or XML from the connection destination server. The connection destination here may be a server different from the biometric information server 3, such as the web server 4 in FIG. 1. A server outside the information center may also be used.
[0047]
(Step A9) The keyword replacement unit 23 performs character string replacement on the HTML / XML file acquired by the browser unit 19. A specific example of character string replacement will be described with reference to FIG.
[0048]
FIG. 6 is an example when the browser unit 19 acquires a mail order related home page. (File name: mail order.html) In this HTML, a push button and a character string “purchase blood glucose meter chip” are displayed. (Fig. 5 (d)) When the displayed button is pressed, the mail server "smtp.example.ne.jp" is used and the address "buy@health-shop.com" is sent to "Sender: Sends an email with the login user name and the user's home phone number in the body.
[0049]
In general, in a normal home page, unless the user performs a special login operation on the home page, the user who is browsing and operating the home page cannot be specified. A normal personal computer or the like can input a login ID, a password, a name, and the like using a keyboard, a mouse, and the like, so that personal authentication can be easily performed for mail order. However, since the biometric information communication terminal 2 according to the present embodiment does not have a configuration in which a Japanese character string can be input easily such as a keyboard, a normal HTML cannot identify a user who is browsing a home page. In the present invention, in order to solve this problem, the login user's personal information stored in the user management unit 16 is replaced by performing a specific character string substitution before displaying the HTML or XML file on the browser. Information can be automatically incorporated into the home page.
[0050]
Specifically, using the keyword and character string replacement rules as described in (a) of FIG. 6, before the browser unit 19 performs a display operation on the acquired character string of the HTML / XML file. Convert.
[0051]
FIG. 6A shows two character string replacement rules. (i) is a user information storage unit for the current user (currently logged in user) stored in the user management unit 16 when the keyword “%% PATINET # NAME %%” is found in HTML. A process of substituting a character string stored in a character string of 18 predetermined areas (specified by Table4 Field “NAME”. Character string described in field name “NAME” in Table 4) is performed. . In this embodiment, the name of the user is stored in Table4 Field “NAME”. By this process, the character string “%% PATINET # NAME %%” described in HTML / XML is changed to the currently logged-in user name “Jiro Yamada” as shown in FIG. The second replacement rule in Fig. 6 (a) is the same, and the keyword "%% PATIENT # TELEPHONE %%" is entered in the area of Table 4 Field "TEL" in the user information storage section for the currently logged-in user. Convert to a stored string. In the present embodiment, the telephone number of the user's home is stored in Table 4 Field “TEL”. As a result, “%% PATIENT # TELEPHONE %%” in the HTML / XML file acquired by the browser unit 19 is replaced with the telephone number of the user's home.
[0052]
The keywords and replacement rules as shown in FIG. 6 (a) are stored in the keyword storage unit 22 in step A2.
[0053]
Although an application for sending an ordering mail to a mail-order dealer has been described here, the same applies to other applications. By embedding personal information in XML / HTML before display on the browser unit 19 by the above procedure, an application programmed with CGI on the WEB can be operated without an authentication operation such as login. In this example, the name and telephone number are incorporated in the HTML / XML file, but other personal information may be used.
[0054]
(Step A10) The converted HTML / XML file is displayed on the display unit 17 by the browser unit 19. In the example of FIG. 6, the converted file (c) is displayed. In the example of (c), since the personal information of the user has already been incorporated into the HTML by character string replacement, the personal information is communicated when the user presses a button without performing a special login operation on the HTML. It can be easily communicated to the sales server (in this example, the seller is sent an email with the name of the logged-in user and the home phone number).
[0055]
(Step A11) When browsing or operation of the home page by HTML / XML or the like by the WEB function is completed, the display returns to the menu screen.
[0056]
(Step A12) When the user selects a menu related to biometric information measurement such as “blood pressure measurement”, “blood glucose level measurement”, and “weight measurement” on the menu screen displayed in step A5 (FIG. 5B), Transition to step. The input / output control unit 14 outputs an operation guide for prompting measurement of biological information using the biological information measuring unit 1 (blood pressure monitor, blood glucose meter, etc.) on the display unit 12. The user operates the biological information measuring unit 1 according to the operation guide to measure the biological information.
[0057]
(Step A13) The biological information measured by the biological information measuring unit 1 is received by the measurement information transmitting unit 11. Specifically, a sphygmomanometer, a blood glucose meter, or the like is connected to the biometric information communication terminal 2 with a cable or the like, and the biometric data measured through communication is received by the measurement information transmitting unit 11. The received information is transmitted to the biological information server 3 by the measurement information transmission unit 11 via the terminal communication unit 15. After transmission, the process returns to step A5 to display the menu screen again.
[0058]
Next, the operation of the biometric information server 3 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. There are two types of operations of the biometric information server 3, a pre-registration flow and a communication flow with the terminal.
[0059]
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a pre-registration flow of the biometric information server 3. The pre-registration flow is an operation for registering user information and the like in the database of the server before the service by the biometric information communication terminal 2 is started.
[0060]
(Step B <b> 1) An information center manager or a medical staff uses the user data management unit 40 to register the personal information of all users who use the biometric information communication terminal 2 in the personal information storage unit 35. Specifically, it is information such as ID, name, address, telephone number, date of birth, sex, disease name, and serial number of the biometric information communication terminal to be used. The user data management unit 40 can access all data in the biometric information storage unit 33, the personal information storage unit 35, the replacement rule storage unit 37, and the URL storage unit 39 in the database, and can be browsed / registered / changed / deleted. is there.
[0061]
(Step B2) Next, the information center manager or medical staff registers the URL and argument of the connection destination displayed on the browser for each user registered using the user data management unit 40 in the URL storage unit 39. . Here, an example in which registration is performed for each individual is shown, but as described above, for each disease name, each hospital, and the like.
[0062]
(Step B3) Finally, the manager of the information center determines which information of the user is to be passed to an external server such as mail order or reservation for each set URL, and searches for keywords and character strings to be searched on the terminal side. The replacement rule is registered in the replacement rule storage unit 37.
[0063]
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a flow relating to communication of the biometric information communication terminal 2 in the biometric information server 3. Communication with the biometric information communication terminal 2 described below must be after pre-registration in FIG.
[0064]
(Step C1) When the biometric information communication terminal 2 is activated and starts communication, the user information acquisition unit 17 in the terminal transmits a transmission request for personal information data to the biometric information server 3 (step of the flowchart on the terminal side in FIG. 4). Corresponding to A1).
[0065]
When the server communication unit 31 in the biometric information server 3 receives the personal information data transmission request from the user information acquisition unit 17, it activates the personal information transmission unit 34. The personal information transmission unit 34 searches the personal information storage unit 35 in the database, acquires the personal information of the user assigned to the terminal, and sends it back to the user information acquisition unit 17 via the server communication unit 31.
[0066]
When personal information data is communicated, such as when the biometric information communication terminal 2 and the biometric information server 3 are connected to the Internet, security on the communication path may be a problem. In order to cope with illegal tapping of information flowing on the network, the personal information to be transmitted needs to be the minimum necessary for the service.
[0067]
In this embodiment, a name displayed on the login screen and personal information used in the keyword conversion unit 23 are necessary. The personal information used in the keyword conversion unit 23 varies depending on the setting of the replacement rule. Accordingly, the personal information transmission unit 34 accesses the replacement rule storage unit 37, determines the type of personal information used in the replacement rule used for browsing the user's WEB screen, and transmits only the personal information necessary for the terminal. To do. However, since name information is essential for the login screen, it is always sent.
[0068]
(Step C <b> 2) In the biometric information communication terminal 2, after acquiring the personal information data, the keyword acquisition unit 21 issues a transmission request for information related to the keyword character string replacement rule to the biometric information server 3. (Corresponding to step A2 of the terminal side flowchart in FIG. 4) When the server communication unit 31 in the biological information server 3 receives this transmission request, it activates the replacement rule transmission unit 36. The replacement rule transmission unit 36 searches the replacement rule storage unit 37 in the database, acquires the replacement rule for the keyword character string set for each user or each URL, and sends it to the keyword acquisition unit 13 via the server communication unit 31. Send back.
[0069]
(Step C3) This step is a procedure when the “WEB” function is selected by the user on the menu screen (FIG. 5B) of the biological information communication terminal 2. When the “WEB” function is selected, the URL acquisition unit 20 on the terminal side transmits an acquisition request for the URL assigned to the login user and its argument to the biometric information server 3 (step A7 in FIG. 4 terminal side throw). Corresponding).
[0070]
When receiving the transmission request, the server communication unit 31 in the biological information server 3 activates the URL transmission unit 38. The URL transmission unit 38 searches the URL storage unit 39 in the database, acquires the corresponding URL and argument from the login user ID specified from the URL acquisition unit 20, and acquires the URL acquisition unit via the server communication unit 31. Reply to 20.
The browser unit 19 on the terminal side connects to another server according to the acquired URL.
[0071]
(Step C4) This step is performed when a function of the biological information measurement system such as “blood pressure measurement”, “blood glucose level measurement”, “weight measurement” is selected on the menu screen of the biological information communication terminal 2 (FIG. 5B). Is the server-side operation. When such a function related to measurement of biological information is selected, a registration request for measured biological information is transmitted from the measurement information transmission unit 11 on the terminal side to the server communication unit 31 on the server side via the terminal communication unit 15. Is done. (Corresponding to step A13 in the flowchart on the terminal side in FIG. 4) The registration request information includes measurement date and time, logged-in user, measurement type (type of blood pressure, blood sugar, etc.), value, and the like. When receiving the registration request, the server communication unit activates the biometric information registration unit 32. The biometric information registration unit 32 registers the biometric information in the biometric information storage unit 33 in the database in response to the registration request.
[0072]
The order of (Step C3) and (Step C4) changes according to the menu selection order of the user. FIG. 8 is only an example.
[0073]
By performing the operations of FIG. 4 and FIGS. 7 and 8 as described above, the biological information communication terminal 2 not only transmits the biological information to the biological information server 3, but also provides various information communication services in the browser unit 19. It becomes possible to receive. The HTML / XML file displayed on the browser unit 19 is automatically incorporated by the keyword replacement unit 23 based on a replacement rule in which user personal information is set in advance. Therefore, the user does not perform troublesome operations such as authentication.
[0074]
Since some users may dislike that personal information is automatically transmitted to other servers, the replacement rule of the keyword storage unit 22 is changed to delete or inoperable by the user's operation of the input unit 13. You may make it do.
