Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pulse transmission / reception device, and more particularly to a pulse transmission / reception device for promptly notifying other persons of an abnormality occurring in the body due to a burden on the heart.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, the fluctuation of pressure in an artery as the heart beats is called a pressure pulse, or simply a pulse. It is known that various medical information such as the motion state of the heart can be obtained from this pulse. Therefore, by detecting the pulse, you can know the condition of your body, and
Notifying others of the pulse makes it possible to detect an accident that causes an abnormality in the body at an early stage and prevent the worst situation. Due to the effects of aging in recent years, there are many cases in which an elderly person causes an abnormality due to disturbed pulse in the bathroom or bathtub, which causes physical abnormality. Also,
Even if you are not an elderly person, the blood vessels and heart may become overloaded due to bathing immediately after exercise, which has a strong effect on vascular circulation such as heart rate, and abnormalities may occur in the body during bathing. In such cases, now that the nuclear family has advanced, there are few opportunities to inform others, early detection is often difficult, and in the worst case, death may occur. Therefore, when an accident occurs in the bathroom or in the bathroom, a method of promptly informing others to others is desired, and a method of being able to grasp the condition of one's own body is also desired. Conventionally, as a means for detecting a pulse, for example, there is a portable pulse meter. This portable pulse meter is mounted on the wrist like a wrist watch so that the pulse sensor provided on the back of the band detects the pulse and the display section displays the pulse rate together with the time. It has become.

[0003]

As described above, according to the conventional watch with a pulse detection function, it is possible to know its own pulse even while taking a bath by carrying it while taking a bath. However, according to the conventional technique, although it is possible to know one's own pulse, when an accident occurs due to an abnormality in the body while taking a bath, it is impossible to detect it early. That is, in the case of the conventional technique, the person wearing the portable pulse rate monitor has no other way to notify others when an abnormality occurs, and if there is no room to inform others, early detection is impossible. However, in the worst case, it is possible that death may occur. The purpose of the present invention is to
When the pulse rate exceeds the limit and an abnormality occurs in the body due to the burden on the heart, it is to notify others of the abnormality quickly.

[0004]

The above-mentioned object is to transmit a pulse signal P by measuring the pulse rate and displaying the pulse rate and outputting an alarm signal A when the pulse rate exceeds a limit. A pulse transmission / reception device comprising a device T and a reception device R which receives the pulse signal P to display the pulse rate and outputs an alarm signal A when the pulse rate exceeds a limit. Will be resolved.

[0005]

As described above, according to the present invention, the pulse rate is measured and displayed, the pulse signal P is transmitted, and the alarm signal A is output when the pulse rate exceeds the limit. A pulse transmission / reception device comprising: a transmission device T; and a reception device R which receives the pulse signal P to display the pulse rate and outputs an alarm signal A when the pulse rate exceeds a limit. Will be provided. According to the above configuration, when the measured pulse rate exceeds the limit, the alarm signal A is automatically output and the buzzer of the transmitter T (FIG. 1) or the receiver R (FIG. 2) sounds, and the body of the subject. It is possible to notify others of the abnormalities in the above. Further, when the subject sees the display of the pulse rate, or when he / she feels that he / she is abnormal, he / she presses the alarm switch T7 (FIG. 1) to output the alarm signal A and the buzzer sounds similarly (FIG. 1, FIG. 2). Therefore, when the pulse rate exceeds the limit in the bathroom, bathtub, or the like and an abnormality occurs in the body, the abnormality can be notified to another person quickly.
