Then, the processing unit 27 causes the display unit 25a to display the detected physical quantity information of the specific detecting device 10 read out via the communication unit 22 . With this configuration, the display system Sys1 can be used according to various usage conditions, such as when the user carries a plurality of detection devices 10 at the same time or uses a plurality of detection devices 10. It is possible to realize the display of the detected physical quantity information that matches the actual activity. Specific examples of predetermined conditions (specific conditions) for specifying a specific detecting device 10 from among a plurality of detecting devices 10 will be described below.

<First specific example of specific conditions>
In the first specific example, the predetermined specific condition is that the specific detecting device 10 is the detecting device 10 that communicated with the display device 20 last. In this case, the processing unit 27 selects the detected device 10 that communicated with the display device 20 last from the plurality of detected devices 10 that can communicate with the display device 20 as the specific detected device 10 according to this specific condition. Then, the processing unit 27 executes the physical quantity display process with the detection device 10 that communicated last with the display device 20 as the specific detection device 10 . That is, the processing unit 27 selects the detected physical quantity information detected by the specific detecting device 10 that lastly communicated with the display device 20 from a large number of detected physical quantity information stored in the external device 30, and selects the detected physical quantity information. Information is read out via the communication unit 22 .

As a result, the display system Sys1, for example, when the user carries a plurality of detection devices 10 at the same time, displays the detected physical quantity information of the physical quantity detected by the specific detection device 10 that lastly communicated with the display device 20. can be displayed on the display unit 25a. As a result, the display system Sys1 can, for example, prevent the physical quantities detected by the plurality of detecting devices 10 from being displayed as the detected physical quantity information in a state in which they are summed up, and can match the user's actual activity. Display of detected physical quantity information can be realized. For example, in the display system Sys1, when two detection devices 10 carried by one user each detect "1000 steps" as the number of steps (physical quantity), these are overlapped and displayed as "2000 steps". can be suppressed.

<Modified example of the first specific example of the specific condition>
In addition, when there is a period during which the physical quantity cannot be detected by the specific detecting device 10 as described above, the processing unit 27 supplements the detected physical quantity information received from the other detecting device 10 during the period to detect the physical quantity. A display process may be executed. The period in which the detecting device 10 cannot detect the physical quantity is, for example, a power save mode, a power break mode, or a charging warning state that limits power consumption due to a decrease in the remaining battery level in the detecting device 10. This may occur, for example, when the functions of each section including 16a are restricted. In such a case, the processing unit 27 supplements the detected physical quantity information with the detected physical quantity information received from the other detecting device 10 only for the period during which the physical quantity could not be detected by the specific detecting device 10. It can be displayed on the display unit 25a. As a result, the display system Sys1 detects, for example, a physical quantity detected by another detection device 10 carried by the user during a period in which the specific detection device 10 that last communicated with the display device 20 cannot detect the physical quantity. can be supplemented with detected physical quantity information related to the physical quantity. As a result, the display system Sys1 prevents the display of the detected physical quantity information in a state in which the physical quantities detected by the plurality of detecting devices 10 are added together as described above, and the display of the detected physical quantity information is displayed. It is possible to reduce the period during which there is no

In addition to the above, the processing unit 27 determines that the period during which the specific detection device 10 cannot detect the physical quantity is, in addition to the above, for example, when the specific detection device 10 that last communicated with the display device 20 is carried by the user. A period during which the physical quantity could not be detected due to the absence of the physical quantity may be included. For example, when the user carried the first detection device 10 on May 1st and carried the second detection device 10 on May 2nd, the processing unit 27 determines whether the display device 20 and the last detection device 10 were carried. is the second detecting device 10 , the second detecting device 10 is defined as the specific detecting device 10 . In this case, the processing unit 27 causes the display unit 25a to display the detected physical quantity information of the second detecting device 10, which is the specific detecting device 10, for the detected physical quantity information on May 2. , the detected physical quantity information on May 1, which is not detected by the second detecting device 10, is complemented by the detected physical quantity information of the first detecting device 10, which is another detecting device 10, and displayed on the display unit 25a. You may do so. Even in this case, the display system Sys1 prevents the physical quantities detected by the plurality of detecting devices 10 from being displayed as the detected physical quantity information in a state in which they are added as described above. A period during which no information is displayed can be reduced as much as possible.

<Second specific example of specific condition>
In the second specific example, the predetermined specific condition is that the detected device 10 designated according to the operation on the display device 20 is the specific detected device 10 . In this case, the processing unit 27 selects the specific detecting device 10 specified by the operation of the input unit 23 by the user from among the plurality of detecting devices 10 that can mutually communicate with the display device 20 according to this specific condition. and Then, the processing unit 27 executes the physical quantity display process with the detection device 10 specified according to the operation on the display device 20 as the specific detection device 10 . That is, the processing unit 27 selects the detected physical quantity information detected by the specific detecting device 10 specified by the user's operation on the input unit 23 from a large number of detected physical quantity information stored in the external device 30, The detected physical quantity information is read out via the communication unit 22 . Then, the processing unit 27 causes the display unit 25a to display the detected physical quantity information of the specific detecting device 10 that has been read.

As a result, the display system Sys1, for example, when the user carries a plurality of detection devices 10 at the same time, displays only the detected physical quantity information of the physical quantity detected by the specific detection device 10 arbitrarily specified by the user. can be displayed on the display unit 25a. As a result, as in the first specific example, the display system Sys1 can prevent the physical quantities detected by the plurality of detecting devices 10 from being displayed as detected physical quantity information in a state in which they are added together. , it is possible to display arbitrary detected physical quantity information desired by the user.

<Modified example of the second specific example of the specific condition>
Note that, in the case of the second specific example, as in the case of the first specific example, if there is a period during which the specific detection device 10 cannot detect the physical quantity, the processing unit 27 may detect other The physical quantity display process may be performed by complementing the detected physical quantity information received from the detecting device 10 . As a result, the display system Sys1, for example, during a period in which a specific detection device 10 arbitrarily specified by the user could not detect a physical quantity, detected by another detection device 10 carried by the user It can be supplemented with detected physical quantity information related to the physical quantity. As a result, the display system Sys1 prevents the display of the detected physical quantity information in a state in which the physical quantities detected by the plurality of detecting devices 10 are added together as described above, and the display of the detected physical quantity information is displayed. It is possible to reduce the period during which there is no

<Third specific example of specific conditions>
In the third specific example, the predetermined condition is that the detecting device 10 that has detected the largest physical quantity for each predetermined unit period is designated as the specific detecting device 10 . Here, the predetermined unit period may be determined in advance according to the sampling period of the physical quantity by the physical quantity detection unit 16a, or may be arbitrarily set by the user via the input unit 23 or the like. For example, the physical quantity image 101 on the display screen 100 illustrated in FIG. 4 is an example in which the detected physical quantity information is displayed with the unit period set to "one day." or every 5 minutes or the like. In this case, the processing unit 27 detects the physical quantity detected from the plurality of detecting devices 10 that can communicate with the display device 20 for each unit period (for example, every day in the example of FIG. 4) according to this specific condition. Let the detection device 10 that is the largest be the specific detection device 10 . Then, the processing unit 27 performs the physical quantity display process with the detected device 10 having the largest detected physical quantity as the specific detected device 10 for each unit period. That is, the processing unit 27 selects the detected physical quantity information detected by the specific detecting device 10 having the largest detected physical quantity for each unit period from a large number of detected physical quantity information stored in the external device 30, The detected physical quantity information is read out via the communication unit 22 . Then, the processing unit 27 causes the display unit 25a to display the detected physical quantity information of the specific detecting device 10 that has been read.

As a result, for example, when the user carries a plurality of detection devices 10 at the same time, the display system Sys1 detects the physical quantity detected by the specific detection device 10 having the largest detected physical quantity in each unit period. Only the detected physical quantity information of the physical quantity can be displayed on the display section 25a. As a result, the display system Sys1 can prevent the physical quantities detected by the plurality of detecting devices 10 from being displayed as detected physical quantity information in a state in which they are summed up, as in the first specific example and the second specific example. can be done.

Further, with this configuration, the display system Sys1 duplicates the detected physical quantity information of the physical quantities detected by the multiple detection devices 10 that have been used, when a single user reuses a plurality of detection devices 10. It is possible to properly combine them and display them on the display unit 25a. For example, when the detected physical quantity is the number of steps (activity amount) as illustrated in FIG. The number of steps tends to be a relatively large value. Using this fact, the display system Sys1 displays only the detected physical quantity information of the physical quantity detected by the specific detecting device 10 having the largest detected physical quantity on the display unit 25a for each unit period. The detected physical quantity information of the physical quantity detected while carrying the first detection device 10 and the detected physical quantity information of the physical quantity detected while carrying the second detection device 10 are collected for each unit period. They can be combined and displayed on the display unit 25a. As a result, the display system Sys1 prevents the display of the detected physical quantity information in a state in which the physical quantities detected by the plurality of detecting devices 10 are added up, and minimizes the period during which the detected physical quantity information is not displayed. Therefore, it is possible to display the detected physical quantity information more in line with the user's actual activity.

<Optional selection of specific conditions>
Note that the predetermined specific condition as described above may be configured to be selectable according to the user's operation on the input unit 23 of the display device 20 . That is, the processing unit 27 may be configured to be capable of executing a process of arbitrarily selecting and changing a predetermined specific condition according to the user's operation on the input unit 23 of the display device 20 . For example, the processing unit 27 may execute the physical quantity display process based on a specific condition selected from the above-described first specific example, second specific example, and third specific example according to the user's operation, The specific condition may be changed for each unit period described above.

<Example of processing flow>
For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the display system Sys1 of the present embodiment performs physical quantity detection processing (step S1), information transmission processing (step S2), information storage processing (step S3), information reading processing (step S4), By executing the display image generation process (step S5) and the physical quantity display process (step S6), the display as illustrated in FIG. 4 is realized. The processing units 19 and 27 execute the above processes by executing programs stored in the storage units 18 and 26 . The program is executed by the processing units 19 and 27 to cause the detection device 10 and the display device 20 as computers to execute the above processes.

<Physical quantity detection processing>
First, the processing unit 19 of the detection device 10 executes physical quantity detection processing (step S1). The physical quantity detection process is a process of detecting a physical quantity by the physical quantity detector 16a at a predetermined sampling period (for example, 5 minutes).

<Information transmission processing>
Next, the processing unit 19 executes information transmission processing via the communication unit 12 (step S2). The information transmission process is a process of transmitting detected physical quantity information related to the physical quantity detected in the physical quantity detection process to the display device 20 via the communication unit 12 . For example, the processing unit 19 executes information transmission processing for untransmitted detected physical quantity information at the timing when short-range wireless communication between the display device 20 and the detection device 10 becomes possible via the communication units 22 and 32 . In the information transmission process, the processing unit 19 of the present embodiment includes detection time information regarding the time at which the physical quantity represented by the detected physical quantity information to be transmitted is detected, and detection device identification information for identifying the detection device 10 that detected the physical quantity. (For example, identification information individually assigned to each of the plurality of detecting devices 10) is also transmitted to the display device 20. FIG.

Note that the processing unit 19 stops the physical quantity detection unit 16a that detects physical quantities in states such as the power save mode, power break mode, and charge warning state in the detecting device 10, so physical quantities cannot be detected during this period. Sometimes. For example, when the detecting device 10 is in the power save mode or charging warning state as described above, the processing unit 19 converts part of the data to be transmitted into a code with a predetermined flag. It may be transmitted and stored in the display device 20 . In the period when the detecting device 10 cannot detect the physical quantity, the physical quantity represented by the detected physical quantity information displayed on the display unit 25a of the display device 20 is basically 0 unless the above complement is performed. cannot grasp the reason why the physical quantity is 0. On the other hand, the operator such as the manufacturer of the detection device 10 analyzes the above code included in the information collected by the external device 30 as will be described later, and finds out the reason why the physical quantity could not be detected. As a result, it is also possible to grasp the usage status of the user of the detecting device 10 .

Further, the code transmitted from the detection device 10 to the display device 20 and stored in the storage unit 26 can be set as follows, for example. In general, the reasons why a physical quantity cannot be detected tend to differ depending on the type of physical quantity to be detected. For example, when the physical quantity to be detected is illuminance (amount of received light), temperature, power supply voltage, etc., the physical quantity cannot be detected typically only because the detection device 10 has entered the charging warning state. The code in this case may be, for example, "0xff". On the other hand, when the physical quantity to be detected is acceleration, the reason why the physical quantity cannot be detected is typically that the detection device 10 is in the charge warning state and that the detection is not possible due to the state of the acceleration sensor. Therefore, the code in this case should be set up so that these causes can be distinguished. For example, the code in this case is set to "0xfffd" when the cause is the charging warning state of the detecting device 10, and the acceleration sensor is in a sleep state (a state in which acceleration cannot be detected for a predetermined period). If the cause is that the acceleration sensor is in the OFF state (sleep state continued for a predetermined period), it is set as "0xffff", A code that distinguishes the cause of In other words, in this case, the processing unit 19 sets the beginning of the code to "0xff" in common, and if there are multiple causes that cannot be detected, adds an additional code to the beginning "0xff", and classifies the code based on the part at the end. You may set the code by distinguishing the cause by doing.

<Information accumulation processing>
Next, when the processing unit 27 of the display device 20 receives the detected physical quantity information, the detection time information, and the detected device identification information from the detecting device 10 via the communication unit 22, the processing unit 27 executes information accumulation processing via the communication unit 22. (Step S3). The information accumulation processing is processing for transmitting the detected physical quantity information, the detection time information, and the detected device identification information received from the detecting device 10 to the external device 30 via the communication unit 22 . In the information accumulation process, the processing unit 27 transmits the detected physical quantity information received from the detecting device 10 to the external device 30 together with detection time information and detecting device identification information. In this case, the processing unit 27 includes detected physical quantity information, detection time information indicating the time at which the physical quantity represented by the detected physical quantity information was detected, and detecting device identification of the detecting device 10 at which the physical quantity represented by the detected physical quantity information was detected. The information is associated (stringed) with the information, stored in the external device 30, and accumulated.

<Information reading process>
Next, the processing unit 27 executes information reading processing via the communication unit 22 (step S4). The information reading process includes detection device identification information corresponding to a specific detection device 10 identified based on a predetermined specific condition from a large amount of detection physical quantity information stored in the external device 30, and detection device identification information corresponding to this. is a process of reading the detected physical quantity information and the detection time information associated with from the external device 30 via the communication unit 22 . In this case, the processing unit 27, for example, for a specific detecting device 10, within the target period for performing the physical quantity display process (for example, one week from April 1 (April 1) in the example of FIG. 4) All combinations of identification information, detected physical quantity information, and detection time information are read from the external device 30 . In addition, when there is a period during which the physical quantity cannot be detected by the specific detecting device 10, the processing unit 27 performs the information reading process to complement the detected physical quantity information during this period. Detecting device identification information, detected physical quantity information, and detection time information for other detecting devices 10 that can communicate with each other may be read from the external device 30 . The period for which the physical quantity display process is performed may be determined in advance, or may be arbitrarily set by the user via the input unit 23 or the like.

<Display image generation processing>
Next, the processing unit 27 executes display image generation processing (step S5). The display image generation process is based on the detected device identification information, the detected physical quantity information, and the detection time information read out in the information reading process, to display a display screen (for example, including the physical quantity image 101 illustrated in FIG. 4) displayed in the physical quantity display process. This is the process of generating the display screen 100).

<Physical quantity display processing>
Then, the processing unit 27 controls the display unit 25a based on the display image generated by the display image generation processing, executes the physical quantity display processing (step S6), and ends the series of processing. As described above, the physical quantity display process is a process of receiving detected physical quantity information related to the physical quantity detected by the detecting device 10 from a plurality of detecting devices 10 and displaying the received detected physical quantity information on the display unit 25a. More specifically, the physical quantity display processing of this embodiment is to display the display image generated by the display image generation processing on the display unit 25a, thereby displaying a plurality of physical quantities based on the predetermined conditions as described above. This is a process of selecting and displaying detected physical quantity information received from a specific detecting device 10 among the detecting devices 10 .
