The subject or the examiner can measure the body temperature by sticking and fixing the measurement unit 1 (temperature measuring body 13) to the measurement site, such as the armpit, using the adhesive tape 11, for example. Prepare your position. By maintaining this state, the temperature sensing element 13 is thermally saturated and the measuring unit 1
It is possible to generate a temperature measurement signal equal to the body temperature at any time with the driving of.

The electronic thermometer shown in FIG. 1 has a mode (hereinafter referred to as an arbitrary mode) in which a key input is started at any time to start measuring the body temperature, and a mode in which the body temperature measurement is started at a predetermined set time ( (Hereinafter referred to as a setting mode). The key input section 25 has a measurement start key 25b.
And time setting keys 25c, 25 for inputting the set time
d is provided.

However, in FIG. 5, when the set time is set in advance in the time column 263b (registers ST1, ST2) of the set time data area 263A, the current time is always set according to the timekeeping of the clock circuit 268. Time S
T1 and ST2 are compared (FIG. 5: step S1), and the process proceeds to step S5 in accordance with the match. Also,
If they do not match, the input of the measurement start key 25b in the body temperature measurement mode is detected in the next step S2. If there is the key input, the next step S3
At that time, it is determined whether or not the measurement has already started, and if the measurement has not started, the process proceeds to step S4.
The time at that time is stored, and if not, the process proceeds to step S9 for past body temperature display or key processing in another mode.

However, when the set time is set in the registers ST1 and ST2 and the current time coincides with the set time, the process shifts from step S1 to step S5 and the control of the control section 261 is performed as described above. The measurement is started according to. When this step S5 is entered, a measurement start signal for instructing the measurement unit 1 to measure the body temperature is created, and this measurement start signal is applied to the modulation / coil drive unit 264.
Is output to As a result, the antenna coil 23 of the antenna unit 23 is driven, and the antenna unit 23 (main body unit 2)
A measurement start signal is transmitted (excited) from. At this time, an electromagnetic induction force is exerted from the antenna unit 12 (measurement unit 1), and if the measurement unit 1 is in the magnetic field, even if the subject wears clothes, it is transmitted through the clothes. The measured start signal is tuned and received by the tuning capacitor 121 and the antenna coil 122. After that, the control unit 261 (main body unit 2) waits for the temperature measurement data to be transmitted (reported) from the measurement unit 1, and the process enters a wait state (step S6).

In the measuring section 1, the measurement start signal arriving at the antenna section 12 is first output to the driving section 15, where it is rectified by the rectifying circuit 16 and the constant voltage circuit 17 to have a constant voltage level. This voltage is applied to the circuit section 14
Is supplied with power.

When the circuit section 14 starts operating due to this power supply, the control section 142 activates the program of FIG. 6 stored in the ROM 143. That is, the measurement start signal output from the antenna section 12 to the demodulation section 145 is demodulated and detected (FIG. 6; step T1).

Next, the temperature measuring circuit 141 is driven based on the measurement start signal demodulated by the demodulation section 145 to start the body temperature measuring process (step T2). The control unit 142
In this body temperature measuring process, a temperature signal indicating a change in the resistance value of the temperature measuring body 13 is detected through the temperature measuring circuit 141, and this is output as a temperature measuring signal to the modulation / coil driving unit 146. The body temperature measurement process follows the induced electromotive force, and when the measurement is completed, the process moves to the temperature measurement signal transmission process (steps T3 and T4).

The modulation / coil drive unit 146 modulates the temperature measurement signal to drive the antenna coil 122 of the antenna unit 12, and transmits (transmits) the modulated temperature measurement signal.

In the main body section 2, the temperature measurement signal is transmitted to the antenna section 23.
When the temperature measurement signal is received by the demodulator 26,
5, and the temperature measurement data is output to the control unit 261. This completes the reception process of the control unit 261 (step S6).

The received temperature measurement data is stored in the display register 263a of the RAM 263 in correspondence with the set time. According to the example of FIG. 4, for example, in the body temperature measurement at the set time stored in the set time register ST1, the temperature measurement data is stored in the register STD1 (step S
7). Further, the temperature measurement data received and stored in the register STD1 is converted into a body temperature value for displaying the body temperature and is displayed on the display unit 24 together with the set time of the register ST1.
The same applies to the case of the set time of the register ST2,
When the set time is set, the temperature measurement data is stored in the set time data area 263A corresponding to the set time.

The above description is of the process flow in the setting mode. Next, the process flow of the arbitrary mode will be described.

The key input section 2 indicates that the body temperature measurement is started at an arbitrary time.
5, the instruction is detected in step 3, and the processing shifts from step S3 to step S4.
In step S4, the measurement time is first stored in the display register 263a of the RAM 263. This measurement time corresponds to MTi shown in FIG. 4, for example, and indicates that the current body temperature measurement is the i-th time at an arbitrary time. This arbitrary time M
Ti is, as shown in FIG. 4, a data area for arbitrary time 2
It is stored in the time field 263b of 63B.

Regarding the processing of the subsequent step S5 and thereafter,
The description is omitted because it is similar to the case of the setting mode described above, but the temperature measurement data reported from the measurement unit 1 is the same as that in step 7
The data column 26 of the data area 263B for arbitrary time
3c is stored in association with the already stored arbitrary time MTi.

Then, in step S8, the body temperature and the measurement time (arbitrary time MTi) are displayed on the display unit 24.

As described above, in the setting mode, the body temperature measurement is started when the present time reaches the already set setting time, and in the arbitrary mode, when the body temperature measurement is instructed at the arbitrary time when the key is input. The body temperature measurement is started, and the measurement time and temperature measurement data are stored in different data areas according to each mode.

In addition, the operation of the control unit 261 of the main body unit 2 includes a mode for displaying the body temperature measured in the past, and in this mode, if an instruction is given by operating the key input unit 25, A process of reading the measurement time (set time, arbitrary time) and temperature measurement data stored in the display register 263a and displaying them on the display unit 24 is executed (steps S9 and S10). At that time, the data in the set time data area 263A and the arbitrary time data area 2
The display target such as 63B data or both data can be selectively specified by the key input unit 25.

Further, if it is determined in step S9 that it is not an instruction to display the body temperature in the past, the process proceeds to step S11 and, for example, the process of setting the set time is executed.

As described above, in the first embodiment, the measuring unit 1 itself is always worn on the body so that the sensor temperature is equal to the body temperature. Since the instruction to start the temperature and the reception of the measurement result are performed wirelessly, it is possible to always obtain the data instantaneously without bothering the subject or the examiner.

Further, since the body temperature measurement is started when the start of measurement is instructed at an arbitrary time or when the set time is reached, it is possible to set the set time in advance to the measuring unit 1. Therefore, it is possible to improve the operability by omitting the trouble of instructing the measurement each time.

Further, when the main body section 2 receives the temperature measurement data from the measuring section 1, the body temperature value is calculated and displayed on the display section 24 in correspondence with the measurement time. Can be presented.

Since the measuring unit 1 is driven by the induced electromotive force, the measuring unit 1 does not require a power source structure such as a battery and can be maintenance-free such as battery replacement. In the above embodiment, the power supply to the circuit unit 14 and the start of the body temperature measurement process are performed by the measurement start signal. However, in order to ensure the operation, it is predetermined before the measurement start signal. May be sent to supply power to the circuit unit 14 first, and then a measurement start signal may be sent to start the body temperature measurement process.

The measuring unit 1 may automatically start the body temperature measuring process when power is supplied, and in this case, the demodulating unit 145 can be omitted.
