3 is a functional block diagram showing a functional configuration of an IoT gateway in the information processing system of FIG. 1. FIG.

A storage area 41 is provided in one area of the storage unit 108 (FIG. 2) of the IoT gateway 1, as shown in FIG.
Vital data of the wristband wearer acquired from one or more wristbands 10 is stored in the storage area 41 in association with the identification information of each wristband 10 .
The identification information is, for example, a device name, BD address, or the like.
The vital data is data (data including index type, time, and numerical value) recorded in chronological order of the wristband wearer's vital signs measured by the wristband 10 .
Vital signs are important indicators of human life activities, and include, for example, human pulse, blood pressure, respiration, body temperature, level of consciousness, urine volume, etc. At least one of them is indicated. The index to be measured differs depending on the model (function) of the device worn on the human body.
A rough range of normal values (reference value) is provided for each index, and the numerical value of the normal value in normal times differs from person to person.

The storage area 41 also stores a setting file, for example, the initially registered pairing list 60 shown in FIG.
BD addresses of wristbands 10 that can be paired are registered in advance in the pairing list 60 .
When the pairing between this gateway and the wristband 10 fails, the BD address of the wristband 10 whose pairing failed is transferred from the pairing list 60, that is, the BD address is read from the pairing list 60 and written in order. A pending list 61 is added.
In addition, in the storage area 41, a name (display name) such as the model name of the wristband 10, information for identifying the wearer of the wristband 10, and the like may be stored in association with the BD address.

In the CPU 101 (FIG. 2) of the IoT gateway 1, when executing processing, as shown in FIG. A unit 33 and a pairing process execution unit 34 function.

In this information processing system, part of the unique identification information possessed by the wristbands 10-1 to 10-n that can be paired, for example, the model name (for example, PXX_PYY for the wristband to be connected this time) Store in firmware.
When both the pairing target wristband 10 and the IoT gateway 1 are in the pairing mode, the pairing processing execution unit 30 selects the pairing target if part of the model name stored in the firmware matches. Even if the BD address of the wristband 10 is not written in the setting file in advance, the pairing process can be executed and paired.
In addition, the pairing process execution unit 30 creates a pairing list 60 in which the BD addresses of the N wristbands 10-1 to 10-n preset as pairing targets (N is a plurality of integer values) are registered. Based on, a plurality of wristbands 10-1 to 10-n are sequentially set to the current pairing target wristband (for example, wristband 10-1 etc.) in the order of registration in the pairing list 60, and the processing target The first pairing process is attempted with respect to the wristband 10-1.

The address collection unit 31 collects the BD address of the paired wristband 10 when the BD address of the wristband 10 to be paired is not written in the setting file in advance, and stores the BD address in the setting file of the storage area 41. Write to the pairing list 60.

The holding list writing unit 32 fails in the pairing attempt among the M wristbands 10-1 to 10-n (M is an integer value equal to or smaller than N) in the first pairing process. The BD addresses of wristbands (for example, wristbands 10-5 to 10-7 in the example of FIG. 4) are sequentially written to the pending list 61.

The data collection unit 33 collects one paired wristband (for example, the first wristband 10-1 in which the BD address is described at the first list) after the pairing process has been completed normally by the pairing attempt. etc.) and communication unit 109, vital data is collected from wristband 10-1.

The pairing process execution unit 34 performs the first pairing process trial for the wristbands in a predetermined order in the pairing list 60 (for example, the wristband 10-1, etc.), and then in order of the BD addresses written in the pending list 61. , and the wristbands 10-6 and 10-7 indicated by the BD address are sequentially set as processing targets, and the second pairing processing is attempted for the processing targets.
Here, pairing/connection of devices exceeding the limit number of pairing (for example, 8 devices) according to the BLE wireless communication standard will be described.

In this information processing system, by recording the BD addresses of the connection destination wristbands 10 as a pairing list 60 in the IoT gateway 1, pairing is possible even when the number of connection destination wristbands 10 exceeds eight. and enable communication with those connection destination terminals.

Specifically, first, wristbands having BD addresses (for example, wristbands 10-1 to 10-8 ) and sequential pairing to collect measured values.
Here, if the pairing destination wristband is not detected within a certain period of time and the pairing fails, the IoT gateway 1 writes the undetected BD address to the pending list 61 (see FIG. 4).

Then, the IoT gateway 1 attempts pairing sequentially from the ninth device in the pairing list 60 and collects vital data (measurement values) from the paired wristbands.
In the pairing process for the ninth and subsequent devices, if the pairing destination wristband is not detected within a certain period of time, the target BD address is written in the pending list 61 in the same manner as described above.

In this way, pairing and communication are performed up to the end in the registration order of the pairing list 60, and if the connection destination is not detected, it is written in the holding list 61.
After completing the pairing attempt up to the last BD address in the pairing list 60, the pairing is performed for up to the eighth BD address written in the pending list 61 created during the above process. and vital data (measurement values) are collected, and the process up to the end of the pending list 61 for the ninth and subsequent devices conforms to that for the pairing list 60 .

If the connection destination wristband 10 is not detected even if pairing and measurement value collection are attempted again in the middle of the process, the next pending list 62 (see FIG. 4) of the pending list 61 is processed in a similar manner. Processing such as pairing and collection of measured values is executed to the end of the wristband 10 having the BD address written in the pending list 61 while it is being created.

Then, after performing pairing attempts up to the last BD address in the pending list 61, the next pending list 62 is used to perform pairing and collection of measurements for the wristband 10 having the BD address written in the list. and so on.

It should be noted that the process from the start of the pairing attempt based on the initial pairing list 60 described above, to non-detection, pending list creation, pairing, ending up to the last address, and pairing of the next pending list 61 ~ In the file, it is possible to select whether to generate an event at fixed time intervals, to generate it periodically as an event, or to execute both, and to set the regular time for the fixed time.

Next, specific operations of the IoT gateway in this information processing system will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing the operation of the IoT gateway.

Specifically, in step S11 of FIG. 5, the pairing processing execution unit 30 selects the BD addresses of N (N is a plurality of integer values) wristbands 10-1 to 10-n preset as pairing targets. executes the pairing process based on the registered default pairing list 60 .

At this time, according to the registration order of the BD addresses in the pairing list 60, for example, the first BD address "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:01" in the pairing list 60 in FIG. 4 is set as the current pairing target. Then, the first pairing process is attempted for the wristband 10-1 having the BD address to be processed.

In step S11, as a result of trying the pairing process, if the pairing process fails (Yes in step S12), the holding list writing unit 32, in step S13, writes the wristband that failed in the pairing process attempt (for example, 5 in the pairing list 60 of FIG. 4) is written in the pending list 61.

On the other hand, as a result of trying the pairing process, if the pairing process is successful (No in step S12), the process returns to step S11, and the BD address of the next registration order in the pairing list 60 is set as the pairing target. to attempt the pairing process.

Then, the trial of the first pairing process in steps S11 to S14 is repeated until the BD address pairing process is executed up to the eighth registration order, which is the limit number of BLE.

After executing the pairing processing of the BD addresses up to the eighth in the order of registration in the pairing list 60, the data collection unit 33 next performs pairing with the wristbands 10-1 to 10-4 and 10-8 that have been paired. After the rings are established in order, vital data are collected in order from the wristband 10-1 in step S15.

After collecting the data of the paired wristbands 10-1 to 10-4 and 10-8 (Yes in step S16), in step S17, the pairing process execution unit 30 performs the remaining order of the pairing list 60. (9th and subsequent) BD addresses are set, and processing such as pairing processing and data collection is executed.

After executing the pairing process up to all the BD addresses "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:11" registered in the pairing list 60, next in step S18, the pairing process execution unit 34 , to see if there is a next list with BD addresses written to it.

If the next list to which the BD address is written, here the pending list 61 exists (Yes in step S18), in step S19, the pending list 61 is set as a list to be referenced for pairing, and the processing of step S11 is performed. , the BD address is read from the pending list 61, and the second pairing process is attempted.

As a result of the determination in step S18, if the next list does not exist (No in step S18), the initial (prescribed) pairing list 60 is set as a list to be referenced during pairing, and the process returns to step S11. Attempt the first pairing process.

In this way, among the wristbands 10-1 to 10-11 for which pairing is attempted in the first round of pairing processing by the default pairing list 60, the limited number of wristbands up to 10-8 are paired. When the ring process is finished, the wristbands for which the pairing attempt failed (for example, No. 5 "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:05" to No. 7 "aa: bb:cc:dd:ee:07”, etc.) are sequentially written in the holding list 61, and then the last order number in the pairing list 60 is written. 11 "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:11" after the pairing process trial is completed, next, in order of the BD addresses written in the pending list 61, the wristband indicated by the BD address (for example, wristbands 10-5 to 10-7, etc.) are sequentially set as pairing targets, and the second pairing process is attempted for the wristbands 10-5 to 10-7. 8) and can be paired with 11 wristbands 10-1 to 10-11.
