Abstract

PURPOSE:To naturally execute the measurement and recording of a body temperature in a routine life by incorporating a clinical thermometer in the seat part of a Western toilet and recording measured body temperature data in dividing them for each person to be measured. CONSTITUTION:A scale 1 and a clinical thermometer 4 are incorporated in the seat part of the Western toilet. When a person is seated on the seat part of the Western toilet, a scale switch 1a is turned on, and detected weight data and body temperature data are inputted to a microcomputer 2, respectively. The microcomputer 2 discriminates the person to be measured from the weight data, and the body temperature data are recorded by a printer 3 for each person to be measured.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a device that automatically measures the body temperature of a person while identifying the person.

<Conventional technology> In recent years, interest in health has increased, and weight and blood pressure1
More and more people are trying to measure and record their body temperature every day and use it as a barometer of their health, and measurement devices that can be easily used at home are now commercially available.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, performing measurements and recording without fail is surprisingly troublesome and tends to become loose, and requires a strong will to obtain sufficient effects. To solve this problem, it would be desirable to have a device that allows measurement and recording to be carried out naturally in daily life, but it is particularly difficult to measure body temperature as easily as body weight, so the current However, no such device has been developed.

The present invention has been made in view of these problems, and aims to provide a device that allows one to measure and record body temperature naturally in daily life without being particularly conscious.

Means to solve problems〉 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, this invention.

A thermometer built into a seat of a Western-style toilet, an identification means for identifying a subject sitting on a seat of a Western-style toilet, and a recording means for classifying and recording measured body temperature data for each subject; 8 power means for outputting recorded body temperature data.

As the above-mentioned identification means, for example, means such as manipulating a push button switch for each individual can be adopted, but it is also possible to automatically perform identification using body weight.

In this case, a weight scale is also installed in the seat of the Western-style toilet, and the measured weight data is also recorded in the recording means for each person being measured. The weight data is compared with the recorded weight data, and the person to be measured is identified from the recorded weight data with the least error.

Function: Since the thermometer is built into the seat of a Western-style toilet, body temperature is detected during the daily act of defecating, and the obtained body temperature date and time are recorded for each person to be measured while being identified by an identification means. Therefore, measurement and recording are performed automatically without the person being consciously aware of it, and by outputting the results, useful data for health management can be obtained.

Furthermore, in the case where the person to be measured is identified using weight data, there is no need for any operation by the person to be measured, and measurement and recording are performed fully automatically.

<Example> Next, one embodiment shown in the drawings will be described.

In this embodiment, body weight is measured in addition to body temperature, and individuals are identified using body weight data6.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the operating procedure.

In Fig. 1, 1 is a weight scale, 1a is a weight scale switch built into the scale 1, 2 is a microcombicoater for control, 3 is a printer for output, and 4 is a thermometer. A weight scale 1 and a thermometer 4 are built into the seat of a Western-style toilet in order to measure body weight and body temperature simultaneously without making the user conscious. The microcomputer 2 includes a CPU 21 that performs various calculations and controls, and a ROM 22 that stores control programs and the like. It is equipped with a RAM 23 for storing measured weight data, an input port 24, an output port 25, etc., and operates according to the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG.

That is, when a person sits on the seat of a Western-style toilet, the weight scale switch 1a is turned on, and the detected weight data D0 and body temperature data C0 are each input into the microcomputer 2 (step S1), and in the next step S2, The microcomputer 2 reads the closest data D1 from among the weight data stored in the RAM 23, compares the data D1 and Do, and determines whether the difference is smaller than a preset reference value α. If it is smaller, all input data DI is identified as belonging to the same person as the data Di used for comparison, and the step 1 proceeds to the next step 83 and subsequent steps to record and register the data. It will be done.

This embodiment is an example in which the measurement period is divided into days, and in step S3, it is determined whether the weight data D□ used for comparison was input on the same day. Go to step S4.

If the input is on the same day, the process proceeds to step S5.

In step S4, the weight data D is registered as new data D to be used as identification data for the next comparison, and the data numbers are sequentially changed such as the original data D1 to D2, D2 to D3, and so on. Repeat Dn-+Dn+
Execute processing to make it +. Further, body temperature data C0 is recorded as data C1 for the current day, and each previous data number is sequentially incremented from Cn to Cn+1.

In addition, in step S5, since the weight data of the day has already become data D1 in the process in step S4 described above,
First, the current data D and the current input data D are compared with the data D2 used as registered data on the previous day. If the data D0 is closer to the data D2 and the difference is small, the current data D2 is deleted and the data D0 is registered as the identification data D. Furthermore, regarding the body temperature, a process is performed in which the data C1 that has already been recorded for the day is deleted and the data C0 is recorded as the body temperature data C1 for the day.

The microcomputer 2 stores each data Dn and Cn in correspondence with the date using a built-in calendar, and the above-mentioned processing records one piece of weight data Dn and one piece of body temperature data Cn every day, and always records one piece of weight data Dn and body temperature data Cn as identification data. The latest weight data D1 will be used. The above series of operations ends when the scale switch 1a is turned off, and the process returns to the initial standby state (step S6).
).

The above-mentioned processing is performed for all registered persons, so if necessary, by outputting the recorded data using the printer 3, individual weight and body temperature data can be displayed in a table. It can be obtained in the form of a transition graph.

In particular, since the weight scale 1 and thermometer 4 are built into the seat of a Western-style toilet, the above-mentioned measurements and records can be carried out without the person being aware of it, which is convenient.

Although body temperature and weight are measured in this embodiment, heart rate can also be measured by incorporating a pulse sensor into the seat of a Western-style toilet.

<Effects of the Invention> As is clear from the above embodiments, according to the automatic body temperature measurement device of the present invention, body temperature is detected during the daily action of defecating, and the obtained body temperature data is identified by the identification means. Since the information is recorded for each person being measured, the measurement and recording can be performed without the person being particularly aware of it, and by outputting the results, useful data for health management can be obtained.

In addition, with a system that uses weight data to identify the person being measured, there is no need for any operation by the person being measured, and the measurement and recording are fully automatic, so there is no need to forget to measure the body temperature, making it convenient and easy to use. A measuring device can be obtained.
