Description

本発明は、例えば被測定者の基礎体温変動を推定し、関連する健康情報を併せて記憶する基礎体温変動推定および健康記録管理システムに関する。 The present invention relates For example to estimate the basal body temperature change of the subject, relevant basal body temperature fluctuation estimation and health records pipe Rishi stem store together health information.

従来、女性のホルモンバランス状況を把握し健康管理に役立てるために、婦人体温計により毎朝計測し、基礎体温としてその変動を数ヶ月間にって記録、数値的に分析する方法が行われてきた(例えば特許文献1参照)。しかし、女性の生活の多様化を鑑みると、毎朝、計測時刻や計測方法等の条件を一定とすることは難しく、長期間に亘る計測の継続には被測定者の苦痛を伴うと共に、短時間の口中温度の計測では計測環境温度の影響を受け易く、姿勢やくわえ方など最適な計測条件を満たすことが難しいため、計測結果に揺らぎが生じ易かった。このため、就寝している被測定者の腹部等に身体表面の温度(体表温度)を測定するセンサ装置を取り付け、このセンサ装置によって長時間に亘って自動測定した体表温度に基づいて基礎体温に対応した当日の代表温度を決めるものが知られている(例えば特許文献2参照)。このとき、代表温度は、測定した体表温度の最高温度としていた。 Conventionally, in order to help health management to understand the hormone balance situation of women, measured every morning by the women's thermometer, record I Wataru the change in a few months as the basal body temperature, numerical analysis method to have been carried out ( See, for example, Patent Document 1). However, in view of the diversification of women's lives, it is difficult to make the measurement time, measurement method, and other conditions constant every morning. In the measurement of the mouth temperature, it is easy to be affected by the temperature of the measurement environment, and it is difficult to satisfy the optimal measurement conditions such as posture and gripping. For this reason, a sensor device for measuring the temperature of the body surface (body surface temperature) is attached to the abdomen of a person who is sleeping, etc., and the basis is based on the body surface temperature automatically measured over a long period of time by this sensor device. What determines the representative temperature of the day corresponding to body temperature is known (for example, refer patent document 2). At this time, the representative temperature was the highest temperature of the measured body surface temperature.

また、既知の被測定者について開始時刻から終了時刻までの間に亘って体表温度データ群を測定すると共にこのときの体温を測定し、この測定した体表温度データ群と体温とを用いて、PLS回帰分析によって、得られた体表温度データ群から体温を逆演算することができる逆演算モデルを構築し、未知の被測定者について開始時刻から終了時刻までの間に亘って体表温度データ群を測定し、未知の被測定者について得られた体表温度データ群と前記逆演算モデルとに基づいて体温を予測するものもある(例えば特許文献3参照)。 In addition, the body surface temperature data group is measured from the start time to the end time for the known measurement subject, and the body temperature at this time is measured, and the measured body surface temperature data group and body temperature are used. By constructing an inverse calculation model that can reversely calculate the body temperature from the obtained body surface temperature data group by PLS regression analysis, the body surface temperature is measured from the start time to the end time for the unknown subject. the data group measured, Ru mower predicts body temperature based on the obtained body temperature data group for the unknown measured person and the inverse operation model (for example, see Patent Document 3).

特開2008−128781号公報JP 2008-128781 A

従来の婦人体温計による毎朝の計測の煩わしさを解消するためには、被測定者に機器装着のストレスを感じさせずに低侵襲かつ無拘束でモニタリングが可能なウエアラブルセンサを用い、しかも無意識下の就寝中に高い精度での計測を実現させる必要がある。 In order to eliminate the hassle of measuring each morning with a conventional female thermometer, wearable sensors that can be monitored in a minimally invasive and unconstrained manner without causing the subject to feel the stress of wearing the device, and without unconsciousness It is necessary to realize measurement with high accuracy while sleeping.

ところで、従来技術では、被測定者の寝返り等によって体表に対するセンサ装置の密着状態が変化し、測定結果にばらつきが生じることがある。例えば、就寝中被測定者の腹部にセンサ装置を取付けた状態で、長時間うつぶせに寝た状態が続いたときには、腹部からの放熱が蓄熱されたうつ熱状態によって一時的に衣服内が身体深部より高温となり、その影響で体表温度が上昇する可能性もある。さらに体温よりも高温を発する電気毛布、懐炉の利用やこたつ寝、体温の高い子の添い寝に伴って体表温度が身体深部温度より高温に上昇する可能性もある。この結果、一時的に体表温度の測定結果が上昇してしまい、体表温度および代表温度の測定精度が低下する傾向がある。 By the way, in the prior art, the close contact state of the sensor device with the body surface may change due to the measurement subject's turning over, and the measurement results may vary. For example, in a state of attaching the sensor device to the abdomen of the subject asleep, when the state continues slept prone long time, heat release within the temporary garment I by the depression thermal state of being heat storage from the abdomen there becomes hotter than the body deep, there is a possibility that body temperature at its influence increases. Furthermore, electric blankets which emit higher temperature than body temperature, sleep use and kotatsu such hand warmer, body surface temperature with the Lying etc. Takaiko test body temperature is also possible to increase the temperature higher than the body core temperature. As a result, the measurement result of the body surface temperature temporarily increases, and the measurement accuracy of the body surface temperature and the representative temperature tends to decrease.

このとき、従来技術でも、最高温度を代表温度として用いて基礎体温の変動を把握することはある程度は可能であるが、体温変動に伴う変化なのか一時的に衣服内が身体深部より高温となった状態かを区別することが難しい。二相性の把握においては、+0.3℃の上昇という微妙な温度変化を捉える必要があり、計測環境による温度上昇などの揺らぎを排除しなければならないという問題がある。 At this time, in the prior art, it is possible to some extent to determine the variation in basal body temperature using the maximum temperature as representative temperature, or change of the accompanying temperature change, temporarily in clothes and a higher temperature than the body deep It is difficult to distinguish whether it has become. In grasping the two-phase property, it is necessary to capture a subtle temperature change of + 0.3 ° C., and there is a problem that fluctuations such as a temperature rise due to the measurement environment must be eliminated.

また、得られた体表温度データ群から体温を逆演算するPLS回帰分析の逆演算モデルでは、当初構築されているモデルはあくまでもホルモンバランスが良好な一定人数の既知の被測定者を対象として構築した代表温度の推定値となるため、個人にばらつきのある未知の被測定者についての推定精度は低くなる可能性もある。ここで、推定精度を高めるためには、数ヶ月にる一定期間の被測定者の計測データが蓄積された上で、当該被測定者専用の逆演算モデルを新たに構築する必要が発生する。データ蓄積までの数ヶ月間の推定精度低下の問題に加え、サーバ上での当該被測定者専用の逆演算モデルの構築と言う膨大な計算とその費用が予測される。また、被測定者のホルモンバランスに伴う健康状況は、季節生活環境年齢により刻々と変化するため、一旦構築された専用の逆演算モデルも、経年とに推定精度低下の可能性も考えられる。 In addition, in the inverse calculation model such as PLS regression analysis that reversely calculates the body temperature from the obtained body surface temperature data group, the model that is initially constructed is only for a certain number of known subjects with good hormone balance. since the estimated value of the representative temperature constructed, the estimation accuracy for the unknown of the subject having variations in each individual are also likely to be low. Here, in order to improve the estimation accuracy, in terms of the measurement data of the subject of Wataru Ru certain period a few months have been accumulated, necessary to construct a new inverse operation model of the measurement subject only occurs . In addition to the problem of a decrease in estimation accuracy for several months until data accumulation, enormous calculation and the cost of building an inverse calculation model dedicated to the measurement subject on the server are predicted. Moreover, health condition due to hormonal balance and the like of the person to be measured, season, living environment, to ever-changing depending on the age and the like, also dedicated reverse operation model once built, the possibility of the estimation accuracy drops aging co Is also possible.

本発明は上述した従来技術の問題に鑑みなされたもので、本発明の目的は、ウエアラブルセンサを使用し長期間に亘って測定した被測定者の体表付近の衣服内温度を利用して被測定者の基礎体温変動を推定し、関連する健康情報をせて蓄積した健康記録を管理し、分析した結果を健康関連情報として提供することにある。また、基礎体温変動の把握においては、数ヶ月以上の長期にる測定が有効ではあるが、その測定当初から高い推定率で基礎体温の変動を予測し、なおかつサーバの演算の負荷を減らし、ユーザーにリーズナブルなコストで基礎体温変動推定および健康記録管理のシステムを提供することを目的としている。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to use a temperature in a garment near the body surface of a person measured over a long period of time using a wearable sensor. estimate the basal body temperature change of the measured person, and manages the accumulated health record not relevant health information to provide a result of analysis as a health-related information. In the grasp of basal body temperature variation, although Ru over several months or more long-term measurement is enabled, to predict the variation of basal body temperature in high estimation ratio from the start of the measurement, yet reduce the load of the operation of the server, It aims to provide users with a basic body temperature fluctuation estimation and health record management system at a reasonable cost.

請求項2の発明によれば、温度特定手段は、前夜の就寝時以降当日の起床時までに計測した体表温度データについて、予め正しく測定できた範囲を設定し、体表温度検出データが許容範囲以外の値を示した場合には基礎体温変動の指標となる代表温度特定には寄与しない温度として削除する。これに加え、温度特定手段は、外気温度データ群を用いて測定状況の適正状態を推定し、該適正状態での計測値と推定される体表温度検出データのうち最高値を基礎体温変動の指標となる代表温度として特定する。このため、一時的に外気側から温度上昇または下降の要因が働いた計測に関しても、適正状態での計測ではないから、このときの体表温度検出データは代表温度として採用しない。これにより、条件のい環境である適正状態で計測された温度を代表温度として決定でき、計測値に含まれる揺らぎを軽減することが可能となる。 According to the invention of claim 2, temperature specifying means for body temperature data group measured by the time eve of bedtime after day awakening, set the range that could be pre-measured correctly, body surface temperature detection data When the value indicates a value outside the allowable range, it is deleted as a temperature that does not contribute to the specification of a representative temperature that is an index of basal body temperature fluctuation . In addition to this, the temperature specifying means estimates the appropriate state of the measurement situation using the outside air temperature data group, and the highest value of the measured value in the appropriate state and the estimated body surface temperature detection data is the basal body temperature fluctuation. It is specified as a representative temperature as an index. For this reason, even for the measurement in which a factor of temperature rise or fall temporarily works from the outside air side , it is not a measurement in an appropriate state, and thus the body surface temperature detection data at this time is not adopted as the representative temperature . This can determine the temperature measured in the proper state is not good environmental conditions as a representative temperature, it is possible to reduce the fluctuations contained in the measured value.

請求項3の発明によれば、被測定者が月経開始日を入力すると、め設定された月経周期に基づいて月経期/卵胞期/排卵期/黄体期に対応するマークが表示され、被測定者の基礎体温変動の指標となる代表温度と併せて表示する機能を備える構成となっている。基礎体温計測には、排卵期はいつ頃か、次回の月経開始日はいつ頃かを予測したいという目的があるが、温度変動だけを見ても判断は難しい。月経周期のうち今、月経期/卵胞期/排卵期/黄体期のどのステージにいるのか目安となるマークを同時に表示することで、より被測定者が予測しい状況が生まれる。 According to the invention of claim 3, when the subject enters a menstruation start date, marks corresponding to the menstrual period / follicular phase / ovulation / luteal phase on the basis of the menstrual period set pre Me appears, the and it has a configuration having a function of displaying representative temperature and併was indicative of basal body temperature change of the measurer. Basal body temperature measurement has the purpose of predicting when the ovulation period is, and when the next menstruation start date is, but it is difficult to judge even by looking at temperature fluctuations alone. Now out of the menstrual cycle, it displays the mark to be as either a measure are in any stage of the menstrual period / follicular phase / ovulation / luteal phase at the same time, the subject is is not easy situation to predict born more.

請求項4の発明によれば、基礎体温変動推定および健康記録管理装置を用いて継続的に測定した被測定者の体表付近の体表温度検出データおよび外気温度検出データを、通信手段を用いて複数月または複数年に亘ってサーバ等の処理装置に蓄積して分析するシステムであって、被測定者が蓄積した体表温度検出データと外気温度検出データを用いて、就寝中に計測したデータよりその日の基礎体温変動の指標となる代表温度を特定するから、その長期的な変動から、女性のホルモンバランスに伴う周期的なリズムをえることが可能となる。また日中の温度変化から行動状況環境を推定して記憶し、就寝中の温度変化から睡眠状況環境を推定して記憶することが可能となるため、月経周期と日中の行動や睡眠状態に関する分析が可能となる。 According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the body surface temperature detection data and the outside air temperature detection data near the body surface of the measurement subject continuously measured using the basal body temperature fluctuation estimation and health record management device are used for communication. a system for analyzing accumulated in the processing apparatus such as a server over a plurality months or more years Te, with body temperature detection data and the outside air temperature detection data measured person has accumulated, measured during sleeping since specifying the representative temperature to be more indicators of basal body temperature change of the day data, from its long-term variations, it is possible to obtain periodic rhythm associated with hormonal balance of women. In addition , it is possible to estimate and memorize the behavioral situation and environment from the temperature change during the day, and to estimate and memorize the sleep situation and environment from the temperature change during sleep, so the menstrual cycle and daytime behavior and Analysis on the sleep state becomes possible.

請求項5の発明によれば、処理装置は、基礎体温変動の指標となる代表温度に加え、例えば月経開始日の情報、月経の色と量、おりもの、体重、身体的症状、精神的症状、ストレスの度合い等のように被測定者が入力した基礎体温変動と関連する健康情報を蓄積して分析する構成となっている。このため、基礎体温変動と月経周期にかかわる様々な健康データを蓄積して分析することで、被測定者毎のPMS(月経前症候群)、PEMS(周経期症候群)、婦人病、不妊症等の様々な症状の状況把握に役立つこととなる。さらに、多数の被測定者の健康情報がサーバに蓄積されることにより、現代女性の膨大な健康情報をもとに女性のQOL(Quality of Life、生活の質)向上のための研究が行われることが予測される。

2Aはセンサ装置1の本体(主支持体)をなすケーシングで、該ケーシング2Aは、図2および図3に示すように例えば樹脂材料を用いて略長円形(卵形)の箱形状に形成され、その内部には後述の回路基板6等が収容されている。 2A is a casing which forms the main body of the sensor device 1 (main carrier), the casing 2A is formed in a box shape of the substantially elliptic (oval) with a resin material, for example as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 A circuit board 6 and the like to be described later are accommodated in the interior.

3は体表の温度を検出する体表温度検出部(体表温度検出手段)で、該体表温度検出部3は、ケーシング2のうち被測定者Hの体表面H0側に配置されるから、被測定者Hの体表面H0にケーシング2が接触し、体表温度がケーシング2を通じて測温素子に熱伝導する。ここで、ケーシング2の該体表温度検出部3が接触する部分の樹脂素材は、薄く加工されている。これにより、体表温度検出部3は、測温素子によって被測定者Hの体表温度に応じた信号を出力する。 3 is a body temperature detecting unit for detecting the temperature of the body surface (body surface temperature detecting means), bodily table temperature detecting unit 3 is disposed on the body surface H0 side of the subject H of the casing 2 A from the casing 2 a is in contact with the body surface H0 of the subject H, body temperature is thermally conducted to the temperature measuring element via the casing 2 a. Here, the resin material of the portion casing 2 A bodily table temperature detecting unit 3 is in contact is thinned. Thereby, the body surface temperature detection part 3 outputs the signal according to the body surface temperature of the to-be-measured person H by the temperature measuring element.

なお、体表温度検出部3は、被測定者Hの体表面H0に接触して体表温度を直接的に検出する構成とした。しかし、本発明はこれに限らず、例えば体表温度検出部3と被測定者Hの体表面H0との間に下着等を挟む場合には、体表温度検出部3は、下着等を介して被測定者Hの体表温度を間接的に検出する構成としてもよい。即ち、体表温度検出部3は、被測定者Hの皮膚表面の絶対温度を検出する必要はなく、皮膚表面の温度に対応して変化する相対的な温度を検出すれば足りる。従って、毎日の計測条件がほぼ一定であれば、例えば下着1枚を挟んで体表温度検出部3を被測定者Hの体表面H0に密着させる構成としてもよい。 The body surface temperature detector 3 is configured to directly detect the body surface temperature by contacting the body surface H0 of the person H to be measured. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when an undergarment or the like is sandwiched between the body surface temperature detection unit 3 and the body surface H0 of the person H to be measured, the body surface temperature detection unit 3 is not connected to the body surface temperature detection unit 3 via the underwear or the like. The body surface temperature of the person H to be measured may be indirectly detected. That is, the body surface temperature detection unit 3 does not need to detect the absolute temperature of the skin surface of the person H to be measured, and only needs to detect a relative temperature that changes in accordance with the temperature of the skin surface. Therefore, if the daily measurement conditions are substantially constant, for example, the body surface temperature detection unit 3 may be in close contact with the body surface H0 of the person H to be measured with one piece of underwear interposed therebetween.

4は外気温度を検出する外気温度検出部(外気温度検出手段)で、該外気温度検出部4は、図3に示すように、ケーシング2のうち被測定者Hの体表面H0とは反対側(背面側)に位置している。外気温度検出部4と体表温度検出部3との間には、後述の回路基板6が配置されている。そして、外気温度検出部4は、ケーシング2の背面側に位置しているから、ケーシング2を介して外気温度を検出し、外気温度に応じた信号を測温素子から出力する。 4 at ambient temperature detection unit for detecting an outside air temperature (outside air temperature detection means), external air temperature detector 4, as shown in FIG. 3, opposite to the body surface H0 of the subject H of the casing 2 A It is located on the side (back side). A circuit board 6 described later is disposed between the outside air temperature detection unit 4 and the body surface temperature detection unit 3. Then, the outside air temperature detection unit 4, because they were located on the rear side of the casing 2 A, detects an outside air temperature via the casing 2 A, and outputs a signal corresponding to outside air temperature from the temperature measurement element.

6はケーシング2の内部に収容された回路基板で、該回路基板6には、図4に示すようにマイクロコンピュータ等からなる読込み手段および温度特定手段としてのコントロールユニット5が搭載されている。そして、コントロールユニット5は、その入力側が体表温度検出部3および外気温度検出部4に接続されると共に、その出力側が後述の表示部9に接続されている。また、コントロールユニット5にはデータ系列生成手段として例えばROM、RAM等からなる記憶部10が設けられている。 6 is a circuit board accommodated in the casing 2 A, the circuit board 6, the control unit 5 as reading means and temperature identification means comprising a microcomputer or the like as shown in FIG. 4 are mounted. The control unit 5 has an input side connected to the body surface temperature detection unit 3 and the outside air temperature detection unit 4, and an output side connected to a display unit 9 described later. Further, the control unit 5 is provided with a storage unit 10 composed of, for example, a ROM, a RAM or the like as a data series generating unit.

ここで、記憶部10には、コントロールユニット5を作動させるプログラムと該プログラムで使用する開始時刻t1、終了時刻t2、時間間隔Δtが予め格納されると共に、コントロールユニット5の作動によって後述の体表温度T1、外気温度T2が記憶される構成となっている。   Here, the storage unit 10 stores in advance a program for operating the control unit 5, a start time t1, an end time t2, and a time interval Δt used in the program. The temperature T1 and the outside air temperature T2 are stored.

このとき、開始時刻t1と終了時刻t2は就寝中の時刻として例えば午前0時(t1=0:00am)と午前6時(t2=6:00am)とにそれぞれ設定され、時間間隔Δtは例えば10分程度の値に設定される。なお、開始時刻t1、終了時刻t2は、被測定者Hが例えば夜間勤務者であれば、その就寝の開始時刻および終了時刻に設定されるものである。また、時間間隔Δtも、10分に限らず、例えば3〜20分程度の間で測定条件等に応じて適宜設定されるものである。   At this time, the start time t1 and the end time t2 are set as, for example, 0:00 am (t1 = 0: 00 am) and 6:00 am (t2 = 6: 00 am) as sleeping time, and the time interval Δt is, for example, 10 It is set to a value of about minutes. Note that the start time t1 and the end time t2 are set to the start time and end time of bedtime if the person H to be measured is a night worker, for example. Also, the time interval Δt is not limited to 10 minutes, and is appropriately set in accordance with the measurement conditions and the like, for example, between about 3 and 20 minutes.

また、コントロールユニット5は、時刻を計時するタイマ11を有すると共に、例えば3個のボタンスイッチ8A,8B,8Cからなるスイッチ部8が接続されている。そして、コントロールユニット5は、ケーシング2Aに搭載されたコイン型リチウム電池等の電源7によって駆動し、スイッチ部8を操作することによって記憶部10からプログラムを読出して作動する。これにより、コントロールユニット5は、タイマ11による時刻が開始時刻t1に達すると、開始時刻t1から終了時刻t2までの間に亘って一定の時間間隔Δt毎に体表温度検出部3、外気温度検出部4から検出温度に応じた体表温度検出データD1、外気温度検出データD2を読込む。   The control unit 5 has a timer 11 for measuring time, and is connected to a switch unit 8 including, for example, three button switches 8A, 8B, and 8C. The control unit 5 is driven by a power source 7 such as a coin-type lithium battery mounted on the casing 2 </ b> A, and operates by reading a program from the storage unit 10 by operating the switch unit 8. Thereby, when the time by the timer 11 reaches the start time t1, the control unit 5 detects the body surface temperature detection unit 3 and the outside air temperature detection at regular time intervals Δt from the start time t1 to the end time t2. The body surface temperature detection data D1 and the outside air temperature detection data D2 corresponding to the detected temperature are read from the unit 4.

そして、コントロールユニット5は、これらの温度検出データD1D2を記憶部10に順次記憶する。これにより、記憶部10には、開始時刻t1から終了時刻t2までの複数の体表温度検出データD1からなる時系列の体表温度データ群Dg1、および複数の外気温度検出データD2からなる時系列の外気温度データ群Dg2が記憶される。 Then, the control unit 5 sequentially stores these temperature detection data D1 and D2 in the storage unit 10. As a result, the storage unit 10 stores the time series body surface temperature data group Dg1 composed of the plurality of body surface temperature detection data D1 from the start time t1 to the end time t2, and the time series composed of the plurality of outside air temperature detection data D2. The outside air temperature data group Dg2 is stored.

また、記憶部10は、コントロールユニット5による温度検出データD1D2のうち予め設定された温度の許容範囲(例えば27℃〜40℃)以内の値で、かつ温度変化の許容範囲(例えば±1℃/10分)以内の値を正常な値とし、許容範囲以外の値を異常な値として各温度データ群Dg1Dg2を記憶する。具体的には、正常な値は温度検出データD1D2をそのまま記憶し、異常な値は欠損データ(例えば正常な値と識別可能なエラーデータ)が記憶される。 The storage unit 10 has a value within a preset allowable temperature range (for example, 27 ° C. to 40 ° C.) of the temperature detection data D 1 and D 2 by the control unit 5 and an allowable temperature change range (for example, ± 1). Each temperature data group Dg1 and Dg2 is stored with a value within (° C./10 minutes) as a normal value and a value outside the allowable range as an abnormal value. Specifically, the temperature detection data D1 and D2 are stored as they are as normal values, and missing data (for example, error data that can be distinguished from normal values) is stored as abnormal values.

ここで、一般に人体の体表温度は室温20〜35℃の環境下では、通常27〜37℃程度と言われており、この温度付近まで上昇しないとケーシング2等が十分に温められた熱平衡状態にならない。また、異常な発熱や外部発熱体の影響がない限り体表温度は40℃を超えることはない。このため、温度の許容範囲は、熱平衡状態で各温度検出部34によって検出される温度が例えば27℃〜40℃の範囲を逸脱することはないとの考えに基づいて決められている。また、就寝中は被測定者の体表温度は比較的安定している。このため、温度変化の許容範囲は、例えば10分程度の時間間隔Δtの前,後で±1℃の許容範囲を超えて変化することはないとの考えに基づいて決められている。 Here, in general, the body surface temperature of the human body is generally said to be about 27 to 37 ° C. in an environment of room temperature 20 to 35 ° C., and the thermal equilibrium in which the casing 2 A and the like are sufficiently warmed up to near this temperature. It will not be in a state. Further, the body surface temperature does not exceed 40 ° C. unless there is an abnormal heat generation or the influence of an external heating element. For this reason, the allowable temperature range is determined based on the idea that the temperatures detected by the temperature detection units 3 and 4 in a thermal equilibrium state do not deviate from the range of 27 ° C. to 40 ° C., for example. Moreover, the body surface temperature of the measurement subject is relatively stable during sleep. For this reason, the allowable range of temperature change is determined based on the idea that it does not change beyond the allowable range of ± 1 ° C., for example, before and after the time interval Δt of about 10 minutes.

なお、温度の許容範囲および温度変化の許容範囲は、例示した値に限らず、測定条件等を考慮して適宜設定してもよい。   The allowable temperature range and the allowable temperature change range are not limited to the exemplified values, and may be set as appropriate in consideration of measurement conditions and the like.

ここで、通常の生活可能な室温の環境下で被験者が身体にセンサ装置1を装着した場合、ケーシング2Aが温められる過程において、熱源となる被験者の身体がより近い場所に位置する体表温度検出部3は外気温度検出部4より先に温度が上がり、熱平衡に達した場合も含め、その温度はD1>D2となる。もし、D1<D2となった場合は、外気側に何らかの熱源があり外側から温められる要因の影響を受けていると考えられる。えば、図6に示すように就寝中にうつぶせ寝が長く続いて腹部から放熱が蓄熱し高温となるうつ熱状態や、体温よりも高温を発する電気毛布懐炉湯たんぽ等の使用した場合、こたつ寝、体温の高い子やペットとの添い寝の場合が想定される。 Here, when the subject under normal viable room environment wearing the sensor device 1 in the body, in the process of the casing 2A is warmed, body surface temperature of a subject's body as a heat source is located closer location The temperature of the detection unit 3 is D1> D2 including the case where the temperature rises before the outside air temperature detection unit 4 and reaches thermal equilibrium. If D1 <D2, it is considered that there is some heat source on the outside air side and it is influenced by factors that are warmed from the outside. For example, and depression thermal state is Utsubusene while sleeping 6 becomes longer followed radiating from the abdomen is heat accumulation in the hot, electric blankets which emit higher temperature than body temperature, hand warmer, when used for hot water bottles and the like, kotatsu sleeping, in the case of lying, etc. of the Takaiko test and pet body temperature is assumed.

コントロールユニット5は、温度特定手段としても機能し、基礎体温変動の指標となる代表温度T3の決定において、温度検出データD1D2のうち、D1<D2となる場合は候補から外し、D1のうちの最高値をT3と決定する。最高値以外のD1は、図6に示すように外部から冷やされる要因の影響を受けたと考えられるため、センサ装置1の装着時にケーシング2Aが一番よい条件で身体深部温度を反映していると推測できる最高値をT3として決定し、記憶部10に記憶する。 The control unit 5 also functions as a temperature specifying means. In the determination of the representative temperature T3 as an index of basal body temperature fluctuation, the control unit 5 is excluded from the candidates when D1 <D2 among the temperature detection data D1 and D2, and out of D1 Is determined to be T3. D1 other than the maximum value, it is considered that the impact of factors is cooled from the outside as shown in FIG. 6, reflects the body core temperature casing 2A during mounting of the sensor device 1 is in the best condition Is determined as T3 and stored in the storage unit 10.

9はケーシング2Aの背面側に設けられた液晶画面等からなる表示手段としての表示部で、該表示部9はコントロールユニット5に接続され、記憶部10に記憶した基礎体温変動の指標となる代表温度T3やコントロールユニット5の駆動状態を表示する。被計測者はスイッチ部8を操作することによって、表示された代表温度T3を確認して基礎体温変動を把握することができる。このとき、被計測者が月経開始日を入力すると、予め設定した月経周期に基づいて月経期/卵胞期/黄体期の各ステージをイメージしたマークMが表示部9に表示され、基礎体温変動の把握の目安となる。 Reference numeral 9 denotes a display unit as a display means formed of a liquid crystal screen or the like provided on the back side of the casing 2A. The display unit 9 is connected to the control unit 5 and is a representative serving as an index of basal body temperature fluctuation stored in the storage unit 10. The temperature T3 and the driving state of the control unit 5 are displayed. The person to be measured can confirm the displayed representative temperature T3 by operating the switch unit 8 to grasp the basal body temperature fluctuation. In this case, the measured person by entering the menstruation start date mark M in the image of each stage of the menstrual / follicular phase / luteal phase on the basis of the menstrual period set pre Me is displayed on the display unit 9, the basal body temperature change It becomes a standard of grasping.

図2に示すように、マークMは表示部9の代表温度T3表示する部分の下の部分に表示されるが、被計測者がめ設定した平均月経周期日数をもとに、図7の対応表の日数でステージが計算されマークMが表示される。 As shown in FIG. 2, although the mark M is displayed at the bottom of the part for displaying the representative temperature T3 of the display unit 9, based on the average menstrual cycle days that a person to be measured is set Me pre, 7 The stage is calculated based on the number of days in the correspondence table, and the mark M is displayed.

また、図5は第2の実施の形態による基礎体温変動推定および健康記録管理システムを示し、図において表示部9は、記憶部10に記憶した温度検出データD1D2を後述する外部の処理装置12に転送する転送手段を構成し、スイッチ部8を操作することによって、例えばQRコード(登録商標)等の2次元コードを表示する。ここで、この2次元コードは、記憶部10に記憶した1日分(1晩分)の温度検出データD1D2およびデータのURL(Uniform Resource Locator)等のインターネット上の送信先アドレスの情報を含む。このため、被測定者Hは、2次元コードの読取り機能を有する携帯電話PT等を使用することによって、携帯電話PT内に2次元コード内の情報を読み込む。これにより、被測定者Hは、図5に示すように、インターネット等の通信手段を介して携帯電話PTを外部の処理装置12にアクセスし、処理装置12に向けて温度検出データD1D2を転送することができる。 FIG. 5 shows a basal body temperature fluctuation estimation and health record management system according to the second embodiment. In the figure, the display unit 9 is an external processing device to be described later with temperature detection data D1 , D2 stored in the storage unit 10. 12 is configured to display a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark) by operating the switch unit 8. Here, the two-dimensional code includes information on destination addresses on the Internet such as temperature detection data D1 and D2 for one day (one night) stored in the storage unit 10 and URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the data. Including. For this reason, the person H to be measured reads information in the two-dimensional code into the mobile phone PT by using the mobile phone PT or the like having a two-dimensional code reading function. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the person H to be measured accesses the external processing device 12 through the communication means such as the Internet to the external processing device 12, and sends the temperature detection data D1 , D2 to the processing device 12. Can be transferred.

なお、転送手段は、表示部9による2次元コード表示を用いる構成とした。しかし、本発明はこれに限らず、コントロールユニット5と携帯電話PTとの間を例えば有線方式または無線方式を用いて接続するコネクタ等の接続部を設け、該接続部によって転送手段を構成してもよい。   The transfer means uses a two-dimensional code display by the display unit 9. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a connection portion such as a connector for connecting the control unit 5 and the cellular phone PT using, for example, a wired method or a wireless method is provided, and the transfer unit is configured by the connection portion. Also good.

12はセンサ装置1によって被測定者が計測した温度検出データD1D2を蓄積し、分析を行う処理装置で、該処理装置12は、例えばサーバコンピュータ等によって構成され、ROM、RAM等からなる記憶回路を有している。被測定者は所有するパソコンまたは携帯電話から処理装置12にアクセスし、蓄積データや分析結果を閲覧することができる。 Reference numeral 12 denotes a processing device for accumulating and analyzing temperature detection data D1 and D2 measured by the person to be measured by the sensor device 1, and the processing device 12 is constituted by, for example, a server computer or the like, and is a memory composed of ROM, RAM and the like. It has a circuit. A person to be measured can access the processing device 12 from a personal computer or a mobile phone that he / she owns, and browse stored data and analysis results.

ここで、処理装置12はセンサ装置1によって被測定者が計測した温度検出データD1D2を図6のグラフとして表示すると共に、温度検出データD1D2のうち、D1<D2となる場合は候補から外し、D1の最高値を基礎体温変動の指標となる代表温度T3として決定する。 Here, the processing device 12 displays the temperature detection data D1 and D2 measured by the measured person by the sensor device 1 as the graph of FIG. 6, and if the temperature detection data D1 and D2 satisfies D1 <D2, the candidate is displayed. And the maximum value of D1 is determined as a representative temperature T3 that serves as an index of basal body temperature fluctuation.

被測定者は、所有するパソコンまたは携帯電話から処理装置12にアクセスし、図9に示した画面から、月経開始日月経中おりもの月経の量月経の色体重等の記録を行うことができる。また、図10に示すように、日々の身体と心の状況を記録することができる。 The person to be measured, from the access to the processor 12 from the personal computer owned or mobile phone, as shown in FIG. 9 screen, menstruation start date, during menstruation, fabrics, the amount of menstruation, menstrual color, the recording of the body weight and the like It can be carried out. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 10, the daily physical and mental conditions can be recorded.

また、処理装置12は、図8示すように蓄積された代表温度T3を月経周期に長期グラフ表示することができる。このとき、該長期グラフには、月経開始日から数え4日目から11日目までの低温期基準線を補助線として示す機能がある。さらに、低温期基準線から0.3℃上に高温期基準線を補助線として示す機能がある。この高温期補助線を目安として高温期突入の判定を行うことで、被測定者は従来の折れ線グラフでは判定しかった基礎体温の2相性が把握しくなる。なお、長期グラフは月経周期毎のグラフのに、3ヶ月間または6ヶ月間のグラフ表示も行う。 The processing unit 12 can display long-term chart for each menstrual cycle the stored representative temperature T3 as shown in FIG. At this time, the long-term graph has a function of showing, as an auxiliary line, a low temperature period reference line from the fourth day to the eleventh day from the start date of menstruation. Furthermore, there is a function of showing the high temperature period reference line as an auxiliary line 0.3 ° C. above the low temperature period reference line. The high-temperature phase auxiliary lines by performing the determination of the high temperature period inrush as a guide, the measured person is biphasic is grasped easily Kunar basal body temperature was not the difficulty determining the conventional line graph. Note that long-term chart to other graph of each menstrual cycle, also performs graphical representation of three months or 6 months.

ここで、処理装置12は、代表温度T3に加えて、被測定者が記録した基礎体温変動と関連する健康情報として例えば月経開始日月経中おりもの月経の量月経の色体重日々の身体状況心の状況を図11のように月経周期に一覧表で表示する。これにより被測定者は、PMS等の症状が月経周期のいつ頃に現れる傾向にあるのか把握しくなる。また図12のように月経周期にレーダーグラフで表示をする。これにより、症状が改善しているのか悪化しているのか、生活状況はどう変化しているのか等を知ることができる。 Here, the processing unit 12, in addition to the representative temperature T3, as health information associated with basal body temperature variation measured person is recorded, for example, menstruation start date, during menstruation, fabrics, the amount of menstruation, menstrual color, The weight , daily physical condition , and mental condition are displayed in a list for each menstrual cycle as shown in FIG. As a result, the person to be measured, easy Kunar to understand what the symptoms of PMS and the like tend to appear at the time of the menstrual cycle. Further , as shown in FIG. 12, a radar graph is displayed for each menstrual cycle. Thereby, it can be known whether the symptom is improving or getting worse, how the living situation is changing, and the like.

さらに、図13のように、6ヶ月間蓄積された代表温度T3と月経開始日月経中おりもの月経の量月経の色体重日々の身体状況心の状況のデータを分析し、被測定者の各ステージにおける平均温度や、各ステージにおける顕著な症状を表示する。なお、この際のステージは、図14の表に基づき1月経周期を8ステージに分けて集計を行う。平均月経周期の計算には、直近3周期の日数を用いるが、ユーザ申告周期と1週間以上のずれが生じた場合の周期は、特別の理由で周期に変化があったと考え、申告の月経周期と±6日以内のデータのみを使用する。 Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 13, 6 months stored representative temperature T3 and menstruation start date, during menstruation, fabrics, the amount of menstruation, menstrual color, weight, daily physical status, data status of heart Analyze and display the average temperature of each stage of the person being measured and the remarkable symptoms at each stage. The stages at this time are tabulated by dividing the menstrual cycle into 8 stages based on the table of FIG. The calculation of average menstrual cycle is used the number of days of the last three cycles, the period when the cause user reporting period and one week or more shift is considered that there is a change in period in special reasons, declaration of menstruation Use only the cycle and data within ± 6 days.

図15は、センサ装置1において終日計測を行った体表温度検出データD1のグラフである。このグラフからは、ある程度の日中の行動状況環境や就寝中の睡眠状況環境を推定することができる。しかし、温度情報のみから処理装置12が推定を行うにはりがあるため、被計測者が温度変化のタイミングに合わせて行動状況を記録する手段を設け、入力データを蓄積する方法としてもよい。 FIG. 15 is a graph of body surface temperature detection data D1 measured all day in the sensor device 1. From this graph, it is possible to estimate the sleep situation and the environment of the action situation and environment and going to bed in during a certain day. However, since limited Rigaaru to do only from the processor 12 to estimate the temperature information may be a method of person to be measured is provided with means for recording the behavioral state in accordance with the timing of temperature changes, storing the input data .

また、前記各実施の形態では、センサ装置1は計測の開始時間と終了時間を予め設定しておき、これらの間で一定時間毎に体表温度検出データD1D2を検出する構成とした。しかし、本発明はこれに限らず、センサ装置1は、例えば体表温度検出部3によって検出した体表温度T1が一定温度(例えば32℃)を超えて上昇すると、体表温度検出データD1の読込み記憶を開始し、一定温度よりも低下すると、体表温度検出データD1の読込み等を終了する構成としてもよい。 In each of the above embodiments, the sensor device 1 is configured to set the measurement start time and end time in advance , and detect the body surface temperature detection data D1 and D2 at regular intervals between them. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the sensor device 1 may detect the body surface temperature detection data D1 when, for example, the body surface temperature T1 detected by the body surface temperature detection unit 3 rises above a certain temperature (for example, 32 ° C.). Reading and storing may be started, and when the temperature falls below a certain temperature, reading of the body surface temperature detection data D1 and the like may be terminated.

さらに、センサ装置1にマイクロ方位スイッチを設け、被測定者が座位または立位から臥位に姿勢を変更すると、方位スイッチがオン状態となり、被測定者が臥位から座位または立位に姿勢を変更すると、方位スイッチがオフ状態となる構成としてもよい。これにより、センサ装置1は、方位スイッチのオン状態、オフ状態に応じて体表温度検出データD1の読込み等を開始、終了を行うことができる。   Further, the sensor device 1 is provided with a micro azimuth switch, and when the person to be measured changes the posture from the sitting position or the standing position to the lying position, the azimuth switch is turned on, and the person to be measured changes the posture from the lying position to the sitting position or standing position. If changed, the azimuth switch may be turned off. As a result, the sensor device 1 can start and end reading of the body surface temperature detection data D1 in accordance with the on / off state of the azimuth switch.
