  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a health promotion system according to the present invention, in which a measuring device 1 and a health promotion device 2 are connected via a network 3.

  The measuring device 1 is composed of a microcomputer, and includes an arithmetic processing unit 10 that performs overall control of each circuit element, a measuring unit 11 that measures, for example, a user's blood pressure and heart rate, a power on / off operation, A user input operation for inputting a user name to be measured this time, an operation unit 12 for performing an operation such as a measurement start operation, a storage unit 13 for storing past measurement data for each user, and a display for displaying the measurement data Unit 14 and a communication unit 15 for performing data communication via the network 3. Note that the measurement unit 11 has the same configuration as a conventionally known electronic blood pressure monitor, and thus the description thereof is omitted. Moreover, the measurement part 11 is not limited to what measures a blood pressure value and a heart rate, What is necessary is just to be provided with the measurement function corresponding to desired physical information. For example, when the respiration rate is a measurement target, the measurement unit 11 is configured by a strain gauge or an acceleration sensor attached to the chest of the measurement subject, and the movement of the chest during breathing is detected by the strain gauge or the acceleration sensor. The respiratory rate can be measured.

  The health promotion device 2 is composed of, for example, a massage machine, and is composed of a microcomputer, an arithmetic processing unit 20 that performs overall control of each circuit element, an action unit 21 having a massage function for massaging each part of the body, The operation unit 22 is configured by an operation unit 22 for performing operations such as a setting operation for setting a part, strength, movement, and the like, a user input operation for inputting a user name used this time, and a liquid crystal display. A display unit 23 for displaying setting contents and an operating state, a storage unit 24 for storing a program for operating the action unit 21, and a communication unit 25 for performing data communication via the network 3 are provided. . In the present embodiment, a recovery-related device such as a massage machine will be described as an example of the health promotion device 2, but the health promotion device 2 is not intended to be limited to a massage machine, and the health promotion device 2 is exercised by the user. It may be composed of exercise-related equipment that promotes health by performing exercises. In other words, the action unit 21 may be configured according to the function of the health promotion device 2, and the health promotion device 2 swings the saddle-shaped seat portion on which the user rides to perform exercise simulating riding. In the case of a riding-type passive exercise device to be performed, the action portion 21 may be configured by a seat portion where the user sits and a swing mechanism portion that swings the seat portion.

  Next, a method for using the health promotion system of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Note that unique address data is assigned to each of the measuring device 1 and the health promoting device 2, and data is individually transmitted to the measuring device 1 or the health promoting device 2 by transmitting a transmission signal including the address data. Can be sent. The measuring device 1 and the health promoting device 2 are pre-assigned attribute data indicating the type of the device (separately between the measuring device 1 and the health promoting device 2), and transmit a transmission signal including the attribute data. Thus, data can be transmitted in a batch to a plurality of measuring devices 1 or a plurality of health promotion devices 2.

  First, the user uses the measuring device 1 to measure physical information. When the user operates the operation unit 12 of the measuring device 1 to perform a power-on operation or a user input operation of a user name to be measured this time, and then performs a measurement start operation, the arithmetic processing unit 10 The measurement unit 11 is activated in response to an operation input from the unit 12, and measurement processing by the measurement unit 11 is performed (step S1). When the measurement process of the measurement unit 11 is completed, the arithmetic processing unit 10 displays the measurement data input from the measurement unit 11 on the display unit 14 and also displays measurement condition data and measurement data indicating measurement conditions such as measurement date and time. Each user is stored in the storage unit 13 (step S2).

  Thereafter, when the user uses the health promotion device 2, when the user operates the operation unit 22 of the health promotion device 2 to perform a power-on operation or a user input operation of the user name used this time (step S3), the arithmetic processing unit 20 causes the communication unit 25 to transmit a transmission signal including a transmission request for requesting measurement data of the user and attribute data indicating the measuring device 1 (step S4). At this time, in the measurement device 1 connected to the network 3, the arithmetic processing unit 10 determines that the transmission signal is transmitted to the measurement device 1 based on the attribute data included in the transmission signal received by the communication unit 15. Then, processing corresponding to the transmission request included in the transmission signal is performed. That is, the arithmetic processing unit 10 searches the measurement data stored in the storage unit 13 for the measurement data of the user who is requested to transmit the measurement data. Here, when the measurement data of the user exists in the storage unit 13, the arithmetic processing unit 10 reads out the measurement data and measurement condition data of the user from the storage unit 13 and also reads the read measurement data and measurement condition data. The included return signal is transmitted from the communication unit 15 to the requesting health promotion device 2.

  The arithmetic processing unit 20 of the health promotion device 2 monitors whether or not the communication unit 25 has received a return signal from the measuring device 1 after transmitting the transmission request (step S5), and within a predetermined reply waiting period. If the return signal cannot be received, it is determined that the physical information is not measured, the operation of the action unit 21 is disallowed (step S6), and the display 23 prompts the user to measure the physical information. After (step S7), the process ends.

  On the other hand, when the communication unit 25 can receive the return signal within the reply waiting period, the arithmetic processing unit 20 determines that the latest measurement data is within a predetermined expiration date (for example, based on the measurement condition data included in the return signal). It is determined whether or not the data is within 30 minutes (step S8). If the latest measurement data has expired, the operation of the action unit 21 is not permitted (step S6), and the display unit 23 displays physical information. Is displayed (step S7), the process is terminated.

  If the latest measurement data is within the predetermined expiration date as a result of the determination in step S8, the arithmetic processing unit 20 stores the measurement data and measurement condition data included in the return signal in the storage unit 24 for each user. It is stored and the latest measurement data is compared with predetermined reference data to determine whether the user's health condition used this time is good or bad. In the present embodiment, since the measuring device 1 detects the blood pressure value and pulse rate of the user, the arithmetic processing unit 20 of the health promoting device 2 has the blood pressure value and pulse rate measurement results within a predetermined reference range. It is judged whether it is (step S9). For example, 140 mmHg or more is determined to be unhealthy when the body information is the highest blood pressure, and 90 mmHg or more is determined to be unhealthy if the body information is the lowest blood pressure. If the physical information is the respiratory rate, it is determined to be in a healthy state if it is 15 times / minute or more and 25 times / minute or less.

  If the measurement result is within the reference range in the determination in step S9, the arithmetic processing unit 20 determines that the user's health condition is better than a predetermined reference level and permits the operation of the action unit 21 (step S10). When the user inputs an operation condition such as a massage part, strength, and movement using the operation unit 22 (step S11), the operation unit 21 is operated in accordance with an operation input from the operation unit 22 to thereby operate the operation unit 21. To cause a massage (step S12). On the other hand, if the measurement result is outside the reference range in the determination in step S9, the arithmetic processing unit 20 determines that the user's health condition is worse than the reference level, and disallows the operation of the action unit 21 (step S13). After the fact that the health condition is worse than the reference level is displayed on the display unit 23 (step S14), the process is terminated.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the user uses the health promotion device 2, the arithmetic processing unit 20 uses the communication unit 25 to obtain the user's physical information (blood pressure value and pulse rate) from the measurement device 1. Acquired and the quality of the user's health status is determined based on the acquired physical information, and the operation of the action unit 21 is controlled according to the user's health status. The operation of the action unit 21 can be adjusted. The arithmetic processing unit 20 operates the action unit 21 only when it is determined that the user's health state is better than a predetermined reference level based on the physical information, and the user's health state is lower than the reference level. If it is bad, it is possible to prevent the user's body from being subjected to an unreasonable burden by not operating the action unit 21, and the health promoting device 2 can be used safely.

  In this embodiment, the arithmetic processing unit 20 of the health promotion device 2 permits the operation of the action unit 21 only when it is determined that the user's health state is better than the reference level, but the health state is lower than the reference level. If it is determined that the usable range of the action unit 21 is limited, a process of limiting the usable range of the action unit 21 may be performed.

  In this embodiment, a massage machine is used as the health promotion device 2, and FIGS. 3A to 3C show examples of selection menu screens displayed on the display unit 23 when operating conditions are input. In a state where the usable range of the action unit 21 is not limited by the arithmetic processing unit 20, the menus of “itching”, “tapping”, and “straight line” can be used as shown in FIG. Commonly, the speed selection range is set in 10 steps from “1 to 10”, and in the “itching” menu, the selection range of strength is set in 5 steps from “1 to 5”. Since the vertical direction is set to “1-50” (cm) and the width direction is set to “1-10” (cm), the user can use the operation unit 22 to select a massage menu or the like within the above selection range. Speed, strength, vertical and horizontal stroke width, etc. can be set.

  Here, when the arithmetic processing unit 20 determines that the user's health state is worse than the reference level based on the physical information acquired from the measurement device 1, the arithmetic processing unit 20 limits the usable range of the action unit 21, For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, the available menus are limited to “fir” and “backline extension”, and the speed selection range is limited to “1 to 5”, as shown in FIG. As you can see, the “smear” menu limits the strength of the stagnation to a range smaller than normal (eg, “1 to 3”), and limits the selection range in the width direction to “1 to 5” (cm). doing. Thus, in the present system, the health promotion device 2 can be used within a range corresponding to the health condition of the user, and it is possible to prevent an excessive burden on the user's body. Can be used.

In the present embodiment, in the measuring device 1 and the health promoting device 2, the user himself / herself inputs the user name using the operation units 12 and 22, thereby identifying the person who uses the measuring device 1 and the health promoting device 2. However, a personal authentication means for performing personal authentication using biometric information such as a fingerprint, an iris pattern, and a vein pattern may be provided in the measuring device 1 and the health promoting device 2, and the measuring device 1 and the health promoting device 2 are provided. When using it, the trouble of inputting a user name can be eliminated.
By the way, it is also preferable that the control unit operates the action unit only when it is determined that the user's health state is better than a predetermined reference level based on physical information. As a result, when the user's health condition is worse than the reference level, by not operating the action unit, it is possible to prevent the user's body from being overloaded and to allow the health promoting device to be used safely. .
