Description

  The present invention relates to a health information management system and a data registration method for collecting and centrally managing personal health information.

  The PHR (Personal Health Record) system collects personal health information and centrally manages it so that individuals can use their health information for health maintenance and disease prevention. The health information includes, for example, vital data measured by a measuring device such as a pedometer or a weight scale, medical examination data, medical examination data, and the like.

  In the conventional technology, a method of registering devices used on the server side each time is used in order to centrally manage personal vital data on the server. In this method, every time a user purchases a device, it is necessary to access and register the server via the PC, so that it takes time for use registration. In addition, requesting the user to perform such registration for each purchased device not only prevents the use but also may impair the user's health management awareness.

  Therefore, instead of registering the device used in the server, register it in an application on a relay device such as a smartphone, log in to the server from this application, and register all data measured in the logged-in state as data of the logged-in person. (For example, refer nonpatent literature 1).

  As described above, there is a problem that it is complicated to perform necessary procedures when using the purchased device in the health management service, and therefore, the use promotion does not proceed. Further, in the method of Non-Patent Document 1, it takes time to log in from the application on the repeater each time measurement is performed, and the user and the device to be used are not linked. For example, the weight is measured in a bathroom. In use scenes in which data is automatically registered, it is necessary to take a bath after logging in, which is not suitable for such use scenes.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a health information management system and a data registration method capable of easily registering vital data measured by a new measuring device.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a repeater for receiving user vital data measured by a measurement device together with device information by short-range wireless communication, and the vital data received via the repeater as described above. And a server that manages each user in association with the device information, and when the repeater receives a pairing request from a new measurement device, the repeater measures with the measurement device registered in the server. Data request means for requesting the first vital data and the second vital data measured by the new measuring device, and combining the first vital data and the second vital data to the server. Data relay means for relaying, and the server specifies the user based on device information corresponding to the first vital data A health information management system comprising: a determining unit; and a data registering unit that registers and registers the device information corresponding to the second vital data with the user information specified by the user specifying unit. The data registration method corresponding to this is provided.

  According to the above aspect, when a new device is registered in a situation where the user has already registered for use, the use registration of the new device is simplified by using the information of the already registered device. It becomes possible.

  That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a health information management system and a data registration method capable of easily registering vital data measured by a new measuring device.

The figure which shows the health information management system which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram illustrating a data registration operation according to the first embodiment. FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram illustrating a data registration operation according to the second embodiment.

Embodiments according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a health information management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
This health information management system includes a server 1, a repeater 2, and a measuring device 3. By performing near field communication pairing between the measuring device 3 and the repeater 2, vital data measured by the measuring device 3 via the repeater 2 can be registered in the server 1.

  The measuring device 3 includes measuring devices such as a pedometer and a weight scale, and has a wireless communication module that can be wirelessly connected to the repeater 2 by Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication in addition to a basic measuring function. The measuring device 3 transmits the measured vital data together with the device information to the repeater 2 using this wireless connection. The device information includes a device ID that is assigned so that the measuring device 3 can be uniquely identified. The device ID is defined, for example, in such a manner that each company adds an individual number to an ID for identifying each company issued by IEEE. Also, when sharing with multiple users, such as a scale, devices that can switch users with buttons or identify each user with the weight of the user are assigned to buttons, etc. An ID for identifying a user can be used.

The repeater 2 is composed of a smart phone or the like having a wireless communication module that can be wirelessly connected to the measuring device 3 with a Bluetooth communication function or the like. For example, the repeater 2 can operate up to seven devices existing in a wireless area by operating as a master. Wireless connection is possible as a slave.
Moreover, the repeater 2 has the relay application 200, and easily registers the vital data measured by the measuring device 3 in the server 1 by wireless communication.

  The relay application 200 includes a data request unit 201, a data relay unit 202, and a pairing management table 203 that registers measurement devices paired by short-range wireless communication. The pairing management table 203 may use functions provided in the repeater 2 in advance, and includes a Bluetooth address, a device name, a model number, a device ID, and the like. For example, the Bluetooth address can be set as “00137102F1A3”, the device name as “blood pressure meter”, the model number as “xx-ZZZYYY”, and the device ID as “005”. When the data request unit 201 refers to the pairing management table 203 and receives a pairing request from a new measurement device, the data request unit 201 uses the first vital data measured by the registered measurement device and the new measurement device. The measured second vital data is requested. The data relay unit 202 relays the first vital data and the second vital data to the server 1 together.

  The server 1 receives vital data measured by the measuring device 3 through the repeater 2 together with device information, and registers and manages it in a database (not shown) in association with the device information for each user. The server also includes a user specifying unit 101, a data registration unit 102, and a device management table 103 that registers device information of measurement devices in association with user information. The user specifying unit 101 refers to the device management table 103 and specifies a user based on device information corresponding to the first vital data. The data registration unit 102 registers the user information specified by the user specifying unit 101 in the device management table 103 in association with the device information corresponding to the second vital data.

  Next, a data registration operation in the health information management system configured as described above will be described according to the following embodiments. Here, it is assumed that the relay device 2 is configured by a smartphone (smartphone), and the relay application (relay AP) 200 manages the pairing device by the pairing management table 203.

[Example 1]
FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram illustrating the data registration operation according to the first embodiment.
First, registration of the measuring device (pedometer) 3-1 is performed. When a pairing execution request is transmitted from the pedometer 3-1 to the repeater 2 (step S1a), a pairing process is performed between the step count 3-1 and the repeater 2 (step S1b). When the repeater 2 registers the pedometer 3-1 to be used in the server 1 (step S1c), the repeater 2 presents an information input screen necessary for registration to the repeater 2 (step S1d). User A inputs information necessary for registration and performs registration (step S1e). The repeater 2 registers the usage information in the server 1 (step S1f), and receives a registration completion notification from the server 1 (step S1g). Information (device ID and the like) of the pedometer 3-1 used by the user A is registered in the device management table 103. For example, “user A” is registered as a user and “001” is registered as a pedometer ID in the device management table 103.

  After registration of the pedometer 3-1, the user A purchases a weight scale and newly registers a measurement device (weight scale) 3-2. When a pairing execution request is transmitted from the scale 3-2 to the repeater 2 (step S1h), a pairing process is performed between the scale 3-2 and the repeater 2 (step S1i).

  When the relay AP 200 of the repeater 2 detects a new measuring device, a step count request screen for requesting registration of data of the pedometer 3-1 is displayed (step S1j). When the user A presses the transmission button on the screen (step S1k), the step count data is transmitted to the repeater 2 (step S1l). When the smartphone itself is a pedometer 3-1, the sequence of steps S1j to S1l can be omitted.

Thereafter, the relay AP 200 of the repeater 2 displays a weight data registration request screen (step S1m). When the user A puts on the weight scale 3-2 (step S1n), the weight data is measured, and the weight scale 3-2 transmits the weight data to the repeater 2 (step S1o).
The relay AP 200 transmits the step count data and the weight data together to the server 1 (step S1p). The registered AP 100 analyzes the data, and the device information for specifying the user of the step count data and the fact that the step count data and the weight data are mixed is already registered as the information of the user A. Since the device information used for specifying the user is not registered with the specific user, it is determined as a user registration message. Since the step count data of the user A is registered, information (such as a device ID) of the unregistered scale 3-2 is added to the device management table 103. In the device management table 103, “User A” as a user, “001” as a pedometer ID, and “005” as a scale ID are registered. The server 1 transmits this registration result to the repeater 2 (step S1q).

[Example 2]
FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram illustrating a data registration operation according to the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, a case where a blood pressure monitor is further purchased and a measuring device (blood pressure monitor) 3-3 is newly registered following the first embodiment will be described.
When a pairing execution request is transmitted from the sphygmomanometer 3-3 to the repeater 2 (step S2a), a pairing process is performed between the sphygmomanometer 3-3 and the repeater 2 (step S2b).

  When the relay AP 200 of the repeater 2 detects a new measuring device, a step count request screen for requesting registration of data of the pedometer 3-1 is displayed (step S2c). When the user A presses the transmission button on the screen (step S2d), the step count data is transmitted to the repeater 2 (step S2e).

Thereafter, the relay AP 200 of the repeater 2 displays a blood pressure data registration request screen (step S2f). When the user A measures blood pressure (step S2g), blood pressure data is measured, and the sphygmomanometer 3-3 transmits the blood pressure data to the repeater 2 (step S2h).
The relay AP 200 transmits the step count data and the blood pressure data to the server 1 (step S2i). The registered AP 100 analyzes the data, and the device information for specifying the user of the step count data and the fact that the step count data and the weight data are mixed is already registered as the information of the user A. Since the device information used for specifying the user is not registered with the specific user, it is determined as a user registration message. Since the step count data of the user A is registered, information (device ID and the like) of the sphygmomanometer 3-3 that is not registered is added to the device management table 103. In the device management table 103, “User A” as a user, “001” as a pedometer ID, “005” as a scale ID, and “007” as a sphygmomanometer ID are registered. The server 1 transmits this registration result to the repeater 2 (step S2j).
In the case where the number of steps and the weight are registered as in the second embodiment, the number of steps may be read as the weight in the sequence after the relay AP 200 detects a new device.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when registering information on a newly purchased weight scale in the server, the user's intention to register is confirmed using information on the pedometer that has already been registered in the server. , Register the weight scale information in the server. As a result, the user can easily register the device when using the measuring device purchased by the user and receiving the health information management service. For example, if you have received a service using a pedometer until now, but have purchased a new scale, the scale will automatically be registered as a user device and you will receive services such as viewing the weight graph. Is possible.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the user can purchase the device freely and easily register the device, which leads to the promotion of use, and the improvement of the user's health promotion motivation and the resulting health promotion effect can also be expected. . In addition, by using this embodiment, the use opportunities are widened even for users who have been away from the complexity of registration so far, so the effect of expanding users is expected for PHR service providers. Further, the method of the present embodiment can be easily realized by devising the processing of the application on the repeater and the application on the server without adding a special device or the like to the existing system.

  The above-described embodiment is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the constituent elements can be modified and embodied without departing from the spirit of the invention in the implementation stage. Further, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining a plurality of constituent elements disclosed in the embodiment. For example, some components may be deleted from all the components shown in the embodiment. Furthermore, you may combine suitably the component covering different embodiment.
