Description

情報表示装置および情報読取装置Information display device and information reading device
　本発明は、例えば体重、血圧もしくは体温などの生体情報、または歩いた歩数もしくは摂取したカロリーなどの健康情報を測定し、その結果を表示する情報表示装置、ならびに当該情報表示装置に表示される測定結果を読み取る読取装置に関するものである。 The present invention measures, for example, biological information such as weight, blood pressure, or body temperature, or health information such as the number of steps taken or calories consumed, and an information display device that displays the result, and a measurement displayed on the information display device The present invention relates to a reading device that reads a result.
　近年、生活習慣病を始めとする疾病を予防するための健康管理など、健康に対する関心が高まっている。それに伴い、測定した自身の体重、体温、血圧もしくは血糖値などの生体情報、または摂取カロリーなどの健康情報を記録することにより、自らの健康管理を自身で行うことが注目されている。 In recent years, there has been a growing interest in health such as health management to prevent diseases such as lifestyle-related diseases. Along with this, attention has been focused on managing one's own health by recording biological information such as measured body weight, body temperature, blood pressure or blood glucose level, or health information such as calorie intake.
　これまで、このような生体情報または健康情報は、専用機器により測定した後、ノートなどに手書きで書き込んで記録していた。しかし、生体情報または健康情報は数値であることが多いため、手書きで書き込む場合には、記録する数値の勘違いなどにより測定結果の入力に間違いが生じやすい。また、測定する際にはこれまでに記録を付けていたノートなどを手元に用意する必要があるなど、記録を付ける作業は煩雑であり、継続して記録をつけることが困難である。 Until now, such biological information or health information has been measured by a dedicated device and then written and recorded in a notebook or the like. However, since biometric information or health information is often a numerical value, when writing by hand, an error in the measurement result is likely to occur due to misunderstanding of the recorded numerical value. In addition, when performing measurement, it is necessary to prepare a notebook or the like that has been recorded so far, and the work of applying the recording is complicated, and it is difficult to continuously record.
　近年の電子機器の発達に伴い、最近では、測定結果を手書きにより記録するかわりに、パソコンまたは携帯電話などに保存することが一般的となっている。すなわち、生体情報または健康情報などを測定する測定機器に通信機能が備えられるようになっており、測定機器は、パソコンまたは携帯電話などの電子機器に対して測定結果を自動で送信することができる。 With the recent development of electronic devices, recently, it has become common to store measurement results on a personal computer or mobile phone instead of recording them by handwriting. That is, a measuring device for measuring biological information or health information is provided with a communication function, and the measuring device can automatically transmit a measurement result to an electronic device such as a personal computer or a mobile phone. .
　しかし、このような通信装置を備えていない測定機器を用いて測定した場合、または測定結果が手書きもしくは印刷されて示される場合には、測定結果を自動で電子機器に入力することができない。したがって、このような場合には測定結果を手動で電子機器に入力しなければならず、ノートなどに手書きで記録する場合と同様の手間が生じてしまう。 However, when measurement is performed using a measurement device that does not include such a communication device, or when the measurement result is displayed by handwriting or printing, the measurement result cannot be automatically input to the electronic device. Therefore, in such a case, the measurement result must be manually input to the electronic device, and the same trouble as in the case of recording by handwriting on a notebook or the like occurs.
　このような問題を解決するために、例えば特許文献１には、生体情報データを読み取る読取装置について開示されている。具体的には、特許文献１に記載の読取装置は、生体情報表示装置の画像をＣＣＤカメラなどにより取り込み、取り込んだ画像に基づいて生体情報表示装置の種類およびそこに表示されている生体情報を読み取る。 In order to solve such a problem, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a reading device that reads biological information data. Specifically, the reading device described in Patent Document 1 captures an image of a biological information display device using a CCD camera or the like, and based on the captured image, determines the type of biological information display device and the biological information displayed there. read.
　また近年では、特別な通信装置を備えていなくても特許文献２および３に開示されているような２次元バーコードを用いて手書きまたは印刷した文字を電子機器に入力することもできる。
日本国公開特許公報「特開平８－２１５１５１号公報（公開日：平成８年８月２７日）」 日本国公開特許公報「特開平１１－２５２０９号公報（公開日：平成１１年１月２９日）」 日本国公開特許公報「特開２００３－１５７４０７号公報（公開日：平成１５年５月３０日）」 In recent years, it is also possible to input handwritten or printed characters into an electronic apparatus using a two-dimensional barcode as disclosed in Patent Documents 2 and 3 even if no special communication device is provided.
Japanese Patent Publication “Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-215151 (Publication Date: August 27, 1996)” Japanese Patent Publication “Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-25209 (Publication Date: January 29, 1999)” Japanese Patent Publication “Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-157407 (Publication Date: May 30, 2003)”
　しかし、特許文献１に記載の読取装置では、表示された情報が何を表す情報であるのかを自動で判別することができない。したがって、例えば血圧計などのような複数の測定結果が同時に表示される測定機器では、どの値が何を示すのかを判別することができないため、測定数値の入力に手間が生じる。 However, the reading device described in Patent Document 1 cannot automatically determine what the displayed information is. Therefore, for example, a measuring device such as a sphygmomanometer that displays a plurality of measurement results at the same time cannot determine which value indicates what, so it takes time to input measurement values.
　また、特許文献１には複数種類の測定機器からのデータを読み取ることが可能であることが記載されているが、複数種類の測定機器の測定結果を読み取ると、それぞれの測定機器の数値データが混在してしまうため、読み取ったデータを人間が逐一判別しなければならない。 Patent Document 1 describes that it is possible to read data from a plurality of types of measuring devices. However, when the measurement results of a plurality of types of measuring devices are read, the numerical data of each measuring device is obtained. Because they are mixed, humans must discriminate the read data one by one.
　したがって、特許文献１に記載の読取装置では、測定結果を記録する作業が煩雑となり、また記録するデータにも間違いが生じやすくなる。 Therefore, in the reading apparatus described in Patent Document 1, the work of recording the measurement result becomes complicated, and the recorded data is likely to be erroneous.
　さらに、体温計などの小型の測定機器であれば、測定結果の入力のたびごとに測定機器を設置部に設置することも苦にならないが、例えば体重計などのように体積が大きく、また重量も重い測定機器の場合には非常に煩わしい。他にも、例えば体重計など同じ種類の測定機器であっても製造メーカー、型式などによりその外観および情報表示部の形状は異なる。そのため、体温計などのように特徴的な形状を有する測定機器でない限り、測定機器の外観または情報表示部の形状から測定機器の種類を判別することは困難である。 Furthermore, if it is a small measuring instrument such as a thermometer, it does not bother to install the measuring instrument on the installation part every time a measurement result is input, but it is large in volume and weight, for example, a weight scale. This is very annoying for heavy measuring instruments. In addition, even in the same type of measuring device such as a weight scale, the appearance and the shape of the information display unit vary depending on the manufacturer and model. Therefore, unless the measuring device has a characteristic shape such as a thermometer, it is difficult to determine the type of the measuring device from the appearance of the measuring device or the shape of the information display unit.
　特許文献２に記載の情報入力装置は、特許文献１に記載されたような方法を取ることなく、２次元バーコードを用いて、文字情報を電子機器に入力することができる。しかし、特許文献２に記載の情報入力装置では、特許文献１に記載の装置と同様に、電子機器に入力した文字情報が何を示す情報であるのかを自動的に判別することができない。 The information input device described in Patent Document 2 can input character information to an electronic device using a two-dimensional bar code without using the method described in Patent Document 1. However, in the information input device described in Patent Document 2, as in the device described in Patent Document 1, it is not possible to automatically determine what the character information input to the electronic device indicates.
　特許文献３に記載のＯＣＲ帳票では、ＯＣＲ帳票に表示されるものを識別する情報を含む二次元バーコードを備えている。これによって、取得した情報が何を示す情報であるのかを判別することができる。しかし、特許文献３に記載のＯＣＲ帳票は、予め記録されたレイアウトデータに基づいて作成されるため、記録媒体にレイアウトデータを予め記録（保存）しておかなければならない。したがって、レイアウトデータを記録（保存）している記録媒体をもたないような情報表示装置では、対応することができない。 The OCR form described in Patent Document 3 includes a two-dimensional barcode including information for identifying what is displayed on the OCR form. Thereby, it is possible to determine what the acquired information is. However, since the OCR form described in Patent Document 3 is created based on pre-recorded layout data, the layout data must be recorded (saved) in advance on a recording medium. Therefore, an information display device that does not have a recording medium that records (stores) layout data cannot cope.
　このように、情報表示装置に表示された文字情報と、当該文字情報の特性とを自動的に関連付けて読み取らせるためには、文字情報と当該文字情報の特性とを関連付けた情報を送信できる通信装置を備えているか、または特許文献３に記載のＯＣＲ帳票を作製するような装置を備えている必要がある。すなわち、これらの装置を備えていないような情報表示装置の場合には、情報表示装置を改造し、これらの装置を搭載しなければならない。 Thus, in order to automatically read the character information displayed on the information display device and the characteristics of the character information in association with each other, it is possible to transmit information in which the character information is associated with the characteristics of the character information. It is necessary to provide an apparatus or an apparatus for producing the OCR form described in Patent Document 3. That is, in the case of an information display device that does not include these devices, the information display device must be modified and these devices must be mounted.
　本発明は、上記課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、その主たる目的は、旧来の情報表示装置を改造することなく、情報表示部に表示された文字情報と当該文字情報の特性とを自動的に関連付けて読取装置に読み取らせることができる情報表示装置を提供することである。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its main purpose is to automatically convert character information displayed on the information display section and characteristics of the character information without modifying the conventional information display device. It is an object of the present invention to provide an information display device that can be read by a reading device in association with the above.

An information display device comprising a display means for displaying measurement results measured from an object to be measured as character information,
Characteristic display means for displaying the characteristic information indicating the characteristic of the character information displayed on the display means in a format readable by a reading device that reads the character information;
The characteristic display means is separately attached to the information display device.
　本発明に係る情報表示装置には、表示手段に表示される文字情報の特性を示す特性情報を表示する特性表示手段が別途取り付けられている。 The information display device according to the present invention is additionally provided with characteristic display means for displaying characteristic information indicating the characteristics of the character information displayed on the display means.
　上記の構成によれば、文字情報と当該文字情報の特性とを関連付けた情報を送信するための通信装置、または文字情報の特性を識別する情報を含む二次元バーコードを予め記録されたレイアウトデータに基づいて作製するような装置を備えていない情報表示装置であっても、表示手段に表示された文字情報と当該文字情報の特性とを関連付けて読取装置に読み取らせることができる。 According to said structure, the communication apparatus for transmitting the information which linked | related character information and the characteristic of the said character information, or the layout data on which the two-dimensional barcode containing the information which identifies the characteristic of character information was recorded beforehand Even an information display device that does not include a device that is manufactured based on the above can be read by the reading device in association with the character information displayed on the display means and the characteristics of the character information.
　これによって、上述した装置を備えていないような旧来の情報表示装置を改造することなく、情報表示部に表示された文字情報と当該文字情報の特性とを自動的に関連付けて読取装置に読み取らせることができる効果を奏する。 Thus, the character information displayed on the information display unit and the characteristics of the character information are automatically associated with each other and read by the reading device without modifying a conventional information display device that does not include the above-described device. There is an effect that can be.
　本発明に係る情報表示装置は、さらに、上記特性表示手段は、上記文字情報を読み取る読取装置により読み取り可能な形式により、当該特性表示手段に対する上記文字情報の表示位置を示す位置情報をさらに表示していることが好ましい。 In the information display device according to the present invention, the characteristic display means further displays position information indicating a display position of the character information with respect to the characteristic display means in a format readable by a reading device that reads the character information. It is preferable.
　上記の構成によれば、位置情報により示されている所定の位置に表示されている情報のみを文字情報として認識することができる。 According to the above configuration, only information displayed at a predetermined position indicated by the position information can be recognized as character information.
　これによって、例えば情報表示装置の型番などの他の文字情報を誤って認識することを防ぐことができるため、読取装置における文字情報の認識率を向上することができる。すなわち、情報表示部に表示された文字情報を正確に読み取らせることができる効果を奏する。 This can prevent other character information such as the model number of the information display device from being erroneously recognized, thereby improving the recognition rate of character information in the reading device. That is, there is an effect that the character information displayed on the information display unit can be read accurately.
　本発明に係る情報表示装置は、さらに、上記特性表示手段は、上記文字情報を読み取る読取装置により読み取り可能な形式により、上記文字情報と上記特性情報とを関連付けて記録させた情報を他の情報記録装置に対して通信する際に用いる通信情報をさらに表示していることが好ましい。 In the information display device according to the present invention, the characteristic display means may further include information obtained by associating and recording the character information and the characteristic information in a format readable by a reading device that reads the character information. It is preferable that communication information used when communicating with the recording apparatus is further displayed.
　上記の構成によれば、読取装置において通信プロトコルへ変換する手間を省くことができるため、読取装置の機能を簡素とすることができる効果を奏する。また、新規の通信プロトコルへ対応させる場合であっても特性表示手段を変更するだけ対応させることができるため、新規の通信プロトコルに対応させるために要するコストを非常に安価とすることができる効果を奏する。 According to the above configuration, since it is possible to save the trouble of converting into a communication protocol in the reading device, there is an effect that the function of the reading device can be simplified. In addition, even if it corresponds to a new communication protocol, it is possible to correspond only by changing the characteristic display means, so that the cost required to support the new communication protocol can be made very inexpensive. Play.
　本発明に係る情報表示装置は、さらに、上記特性表示手段が、複数に分割されていることが好ましい。 In the information display apparatus according to the present invention, it is preferable that the characteristic display means is further divided into a plurality of parts.
　特性表示手段を複数の分割することによって、表示情報が多い場合であっても、読取装置の読み取る範囲が大きくなることを抑制することができる。これによって、文字情報および特性表示手段を読み取る際に、読取装置の読み取り精度が落ちることを抑制することができるという効果を奏する。 By dividing the characteristic display means into a plurality of parts, it is possible to suppress an increase in the reading range of the reading device even when there is a lot of display information. Thereby, when reading the character information and the characteristic display means, it is possible to suppress the reading accuracy of the reading device from being lowered.
　また、特性表示手段を複数に分割することにより、特性表示手段の表示方法の自由度を向上することができる。これによって、特性表示手段を効率よく配置することができるため、狭い領域であっても必要な情報を漏れなく盛り込むことができる効果も併せて奏する。 Moreover, the degree of freedom of the display method of the characteristic display means can be improved by dividing the characteristic display means into a plurality of parts. Thereby, since the characteristic display means can be arranged efficiently, there is an effect that necessary information can be incorporated without omission even in a narrow area.
　本発明に係る情報表示装置は、さらに、上記特性表示手段が、複数取り付けられていることが好ましい。 The information display device according to the present invention preferably further includes a plurality of the characteristic display means.
　上記の構成によれば、複数の文字情報が表示手段に表示される場合であっても、表示される複数の文字情報全てではなく、特定の文字情報と当該文字情報の特性とを関連付けて読取装置に読み取らせることができる効果を奏する。 According to the above configuration, even when a plurality of pieces of character information are displayed on the display unit, not all of the plurality of pieces of character information to be displayed, but specific character information and characteristics of the character information are associated and read. There is an effect that can be read by the apparatus.

　（情報表示装置１の構成）
　本発明に係る情報表示装置の一例を図１に示す。図１は、本発明に係る情報表示装置の一例を示す図である。 (Configuration of information display device 1)
An example of the information display apparatus according to the present invention is shown in FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of an information display device according to the present invention.
　図１に示すように、情報表示装置１は、特性表示部２、文字情報３、および情報表示部（表示手段）４を備えている。各部材について以下に説明する。 As shown in FIG. 1, the information display device 1 includes a characteristic display section 2, character information 3, and an information display section (display means) 4. Each member will be described below.
　（文字情報３、情報表示部４）
　情報表示部４は、被測定者から測定した測定結果を文字情報３として表示するためのものである。文字情報３は、情報表示部４に表示される情報であり、本実施形態では、被測定者の体温を示している。なお、情報表示部４における表示方法は、電子表示に限定されるものではなく、文字情報３が印刷されて表示されてもよく、また手書きで表示されてもよい。 (Character information 3, information display part 4)
The information display unit 4 is for displaying the measurement result measured from the measurement subject as the character information 3. The character information 3 is information displayed on the information display unit 4 and indicates the body temperature of the measurement subject in this embodiment. In addition, the display method in the information display part 4 is not limited to an electronic display, The character information 3 may be printed and displayed, and may be displayed by handwriting.
　（特性表示部２）
　特性表示部２は、文字情報３の位置および文字情報３の特性を示す情報を示すものである。特性表示部２は、文字情報３を読み取る読取装置により読取可能な形式により示されている。また、特性表示部２は、図１に示すように、２次元バーコード２０および補助記号部２１ａおよび２１ｂの３つに分割されている。各記号部の示す情報については以下に説明する。 (Characteristic display part 2)
The characteristic display unit 2 indicates information indicating the position of the character information 3 and the characteristics of the character information 3. The characteristic display unit 2 is shown in a format that can be read by a reading device that reads the character information 3. As shown in FIG. 1, the characteristic display unit 2 is divided into three parts, a two-dimensional barcode 20 and auxiliary symbol parts 21a and 21b. Information indicated by each symbol part will be described below.
　また、本実施形態において、特性表示部２は紙に印刷されており、特性表示部２を印刷した紙は、特性表示部２の印刷された面の反対の面に粘着剤が塗布されている。すなわち、特性表示部２を印刷した紙は、粘着剤を介して、情報表示装置１に取り付けられている。 In the present embodiment, the characteristic display unit 2 is printed on paper, and the paper on which the characteristic display unit 2 is printed has an adhesive applied to the surface opposite to the printed surface of the characteristic display unit 2. . That is, the paper on which the characteristic display unit 2 is printed is attached to the information display device 1 via an adhesive.
　（特性表示部２のデータ構造）
　特性表示部２に含まれるデータ情報の構造について以下に説明する。特性表示部２のデータ情報には、特性情報および位置情報が含まれている。 (Data structure of characteristic display unit 2)
The structure of the data information included in the characteristic display unit 2 will be described below. The data information of the characteristic display unit 2 includes characteristic information and position information.
　（特性情報）
　特性情報は、情報表示部４に表示される文字情報３の特性を示す情報である。言い換えれば、特性情報とは、文字情報３がどのような種類の情報を示しているのかを示す情報である。したがって、本実施形態における特性情報は、文字情報３が体温であることを示す情報となる。なお、特性情報は、２次元バーコード２０に示されていることが好ましい。 (Characteristic information)
The characteristic information is information indicating the characteristic of the character information 3 displayed on the information display unit 4. In other words, the characteristic information is information indicating what kind of information the character information 3 indicates. Therefore, the characteristic information in the present embodiment is information indicating that the character information 3 is body temperature. The characteristic information is preferably shown in the two-dimensional barcode 20.
　（位置情報）
　位置情報は、情報表示部４に表示される文字情報３の表示位置を示す情報である。すなわち、情報表示部４に表示される文字情報３が、特性表示部２に対してどの位置に表示されるのかを示す情報である。本実施形態では、位置情報を、文字情報３の表示位置を示す領域を特定するレイアウト情報としてもつ場合を例に挙げて説明する。位置情報をレイアウト情報として示すために、特性表示部２は、２次元バーコード２０、補助記号部２１ａ、２１ｂに分割されている。 (location information)
The position information is information indicating the display position of the character information 3 displayed on the information display unit 4. That is, this is information indicating where the character information 3 displayed on the information display unit 4 is displayed with respect to the characteristic display unit 2. In the present embodiment, a case will be described as an example where the position information is used as layout information for specifying an area indicating the display position of the character information 3. In order to show the position information as layout information, the characteristic display unit 2 is divided into a two-dimensional barcode 20 and auxiliary symbol parts 21a and 21b.
　本実施形態では、２次元バーコード２０、補助記号部２１ａ、２１ｂを用いて文字情報３の表示位置を以下のように示している。
・文字情報３は２次元バーコード２０の右側に、かつ補助記号部２１ａまでの位置に表示される。
・補助記号部２１ｂの位置する点には、小数点が表示される。 In the present embodiment, the display position of the character information 3 is indicated as follows using the two-dimensional barcode 20 and the auxiliary symbol portions 21a and 21b.
Character information 3 is displayed on the right side of the two-dimensional barcode 20 and at a position up to the auxiliary symbol portion 21a.
A decimal point is displayed at the point where the auxiliary symbol portion 21b is located.
　もちろん、データ情報に含まれている位置情報は、これに限定されるものではない。文字情報３が２次元バーコード２０に対して左側に表示されることを示すようにしてもよいし、上側に表示されることを示すようにしてもよい。その場合、２次元バーコード２０を取り付ける位置を位置情報に基づいて様々変更すればよい。 Of course, the location information included in the data information is not limited to this. It may be indicated that the character information 3 is displayed on the left side with respect to the two-dimensional barcode 20, or may be indicated on the upper side. In that case, what is necessary is just to change variously the position which attaches the two-dimensional barcode 20 based on position information.
　なお、特性表示部２から補助記号部２１ｂを除いてもよい。補助記号部２１ｂを除いた特性表示部２を図２に示す。図２は、文字情報３の表示位置を示すレイアウト情報を示す図である。図２に示すようなレイアウト情報では、２次元バーコード２０の左上端を基準点として、横方向（ｘ軸方向）が（ｄｘ２－ｄｘ１）の大きさであり、縦方向（ｙ軸方向）が（ｄｙ１＋ｄｙ２）の大きさとして表される領域２２を文字情報３の表示される領域であるとする。そして、領域２２内に表示される情報を文字情報３として認識する。また、２次元バーコード２０には、領域２２内における任意の点に、小数点が表示される情報も含まれている。 Note that the auxiliary symbol part 21b may be omitted from the characteristic display part 2. The characteristic display unit 2 excluding the auxiliary symbol unit 21b is shown in FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing layout information indicating the display position of the character information 3. In the layout information as shown in FIG. 2, the horizontal direction (x-axis direction) has a size of (dx2-dx1) and the vertical direction (y-axis direction) has the upper left end of the two-dimensional barcode 20 as a reference point. It is assumed that the area 22 expressed as the size of (dy1 + dy2) is an area where the character information 3 is displayed. Then, the information displayed in the area 22 is recognized as the character information 3. In addition, the two-dimensional barcode 20 includes information in which a decimal point is displayed at an arbitrary point in the region 22.
　このように、位置情報を上述したようなレイアウト情報として示すことによって、補助記号部２１ｂを不要とすることもできる。 Thus, the auxiliary symbol portion 21b can be omitted by indicating the position information as the layout information as described above.
　以上説明したように、特性表示部２には、以下の２つの位置情報と１つの特性情報とが含まれている。
・２次元バーコード２０と補助記号部２１ａとの間に文字情報３（体温値）が表示される。
・領域２２内における任意の点には小数点が表示される。
・表示されている文字情報３は体温である。 As described above, the characteristic display unit 2 includes the following two pieces of position information and one characteristic information.
Character information 3 (body temperature value) is displayed between the two-dimensional barcode 20 and the auxiliary symbol portion 21a.
A decimal point is displayed at an arbitrary point in the area 22.
-The displayed character information 3 is body temperature.
　このように、特性表示部２に位置情報とともに、文字情報３の特性を特定する特性情報が含まれていることによって、位置情報により示されている所定の位置に表示されている情報のみを文字情報３として認識することができる。これによって、例えば情報表示装置１の型番などの他の文字情報を誤って認識することを防ぐことができるため、読取装置における文字情報３の認識率を向上することができる。すなわち、情報表示部４に表示された文字情報３および文字情報３の特性を関連付けた情報を、より一層正確に読み取らせることができる。 As described above, since the characteristic display unit 2 includes the characteristic information for specifying the characteristic of the character information 3 together with the position information, only the information displayed at the predetermined position indicated by the position information is displayed as characters. It can be recognized as information 3. Accordingly, for example, it is possible to prevent other character information such as the model number of the information display device 1 from being erroneously recognized, so that the recognition rate of the character information 3 in the reading device can be improved. In other words, the character information 3 displayed on the information display unit 4 and the information associated with the characteristics of the character information 3 can be read more accurately.
　また、特性表示部２のデータ情報には、特性情報および位置情報とともに、ヘッダが含まれていることが好ましい。ヘッダは、特性表示部２に含まれている情報であり、データ情報の全体に関する情報が登録されているデータである。例えば、特性表示部２が文字情報および特性情報を認識するためのものであることを識別するためのＩＤなどが含まれている。 Further, it is preferable that the data information of the characteristic display unit 2 includes a header together with the characteristic information and the position information. The header is information included in the characteristic display unit 2, and is data in which information related to the entire data information is registered. For example, an ID for identifying that the characteristic display unit 2 is for recognizing character information and characteristic information is included.
　（特性表示部２の設けられている媒体）
　上記では、特性表示部２を設ける媒体として紙を用いる場合について説明したが、特性表示部２を設けることができる媒体は、紙に限定されるものではない。 (Medium on which the characteristic display unit 2 is provided)
Although the case where paper is used as the medium on which the characteristic display unit 2 is provided has been described above, the medium on which the characteristic display unit 2 can be provided is not limited to paper.
　例えば、図３中（ａ）に示すように特性表示部２をプレート３０に設けてもよい。この場合、プレート３０における情報表示装置１の情報表示部４の部分は、表示される文字情報３をプレート３０を介して認識できるようにすることが好ましい。具体的には、プレート３０における情報表示部４の部分が透明であることが好ましい。図３中（ｂ）には、特性表示部２の設けられたプレート３０を情報表示装置１に取り付けた状態を示している。プレート３０は、接着剤などの接着物質を介して情報表示装置１に取り付けられていてもよいし、ネジなどにより取り付けられていてもよい。 For example, the characteristic display unit 2 may be provided on the plate 30 as shown in FIG. In this case, it is preferable that the portion of the information display unit 4 of the information display device 1 on the plate 30 can recognize the displayed character information 3 through the plate 30. Specifically, it is preferable that the portion of the information display unit 4 in the plate 30 is transparent. FIG. 3B shows a state where the plate 30 provided with the characteristic display unit 2 is attached to the information display device 1. The plate 30 may be attached to the information display device 1 via an adhesive substance such as an adhesive, or may be attached by screws or the like.
　また、図４中（ａ）に示すように、少なくとも一方の面に粘着剤の塗布されたシール３１に特性表示部２を設けてもよい。この場合も、プレート３０と同様に、表示される文字情報３がシール３１を介して認識できるように、情報表示装置１の情報表示部４の部分が透明になっていることが好ましい。これによって、図４中（ａ）に示すように、一枚のシールに２次元バーコード２０および補助記号部２１ａ、２１ｂを表示させることができるため、特性表示部２を一度に取り付けることができる。すなわち、特性表示部２を取り付ける手間を軽減することができる。もちろん、２次元バーコード２０および補助記号部２１ａ、２１ｂそれぞれが別々のシールに設けられていてもよい。すなわち、２次元バーコード２０の設けられたシール、補助記号部２１ａの設けられたシール、補助記号部２１ｂの設けられたシールとし、各シールを情報表示装置１に取り付けるようにしてもよい。この場合には、情報表示装置１の情報表示部４の部分を透明にする必要がなくなるため、シール３１の材質として、より多様な材質を用いることができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, the characteristic display unit 2 may be provided on a seal 31 having an adhesive applied to at least one surface. Also in this case, like the plate 30, the information display unit 4 of the information display device 1 is preferably transparent so that the displayed character information 3 can be recognized via the sticker 31. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4A, the two-dimensional barcode 20 and the auxiliary symbol portions 21a and 21b can be displayed on a single sticker, so that the characteristic display portion 2 can be attached at a time. . That is, the trouble of attaching the characteristic display unit 2 can be reduced. Of course, each of the two-dimensional barcode 20 and the auxiliary symbol portions 21a and 21b may be provided on separate seals. That is, the seal provided with the two-dimensional barcode 20, the seal provided with the auxiliary symbol portion 21a, and the seal provided with the auxiliary symbol portion 21b may be used, and each seal may be attached to the information display device 1. In this case, it is not necessary to make the information display unit 4 of the information display device 1 transparent, so that more various materials can be used as the material of the seal 31.
　図４中（ｂ）には、特性表示部２の設けられたシール３１を情報表示装置１に取り付けた状態を示している。シール３１は、その少なくとも一方の面に塗布された粘着剤を介して情報表示装置１に取り付けられている。 FIG. 4B shows a state where the seal 31 provided with the characteristic display unit 2 is attached to the information display device 1. The seal 31 is attached to the information display device 1 via an adhesive applied to at least one surface thereof.
　なお、上記で説明した紙も含め、プレート３０およびシール３１は、情報表示装置１から取り外し可能に取り付けられていることが好ましい。これによって、情報表示装置１の種類が同じであれば、他の情報表示装置に用いた特性表示部２を別の情報表示装置においても用いることができる。例えば普段使用する体温計とは異なる体温計で測定した測定結果であっても、特性表示部２を携帯しておくことにより、読取装置により読み取らせることができる。また、取り外し可能であるため、例えば借り物の体温計であった場合でも問題なく２次元バーコードを使用することができる。 In addition, it is preferable that the plate 30 and the sticker 31 including the paper described above are detachably attached from the information display device 1. Accordingly, if the type of the information display device 1 is the same, the characteristic display unit 2 used for another information display device can be used in another information display device. For example, even if it is a measurement result measured with a thermometer different from the thermometer that is normally used, the reading device can read the characteristic display unit 2 by carrying it. Moreover, since it is removable, even if it is a borrowed thermometer, a two-dimensional barcode can be used without a problem.
　上述した以外にも、例えば特性表示部２を作製する装置を用いて、情報表示装置１に直接特性表示部２を設けてもよい。 In addition to the above, the characteristic display unit 2 may be provided directly on the information display device 1 using, for example, an apparatus for producing the characteristic display unit 2.
　（作用効果）
　以上説明したように、情報表示装置１には、情報表示部４に表示される文字情報３の特性を示す特性情報を表示する特性表示部２が別途取り付けられている。これによって、旧来の情報表示装置を改造することなく、文字情報３と文字情報３の特性情報とを自動的に関連付けて読取装置に読み取らせることができる。 (Function and effect)
As described above, the information display device 1 is separately attached with the characteristic display unit 2 that displays characteristic information indicating the characteristic of the character information 3 displayed on the information display unit 4. Thus, the character information 3 and the characteristic information of the character information 3 can be automatically associated with each other and read by the reading device without modifying the conventional information display device.
　（特性表示部２に含まれるその他の情報）
　上述した特性表示部２の説明では、ヘッダ、特性情報および位置情報の３種類の情報を含む特性表示部２のデータ情報の場合について説明したが、さらに他の情報を含むようにしてもよい。 (Other information included in the characteristic display unit 2)
In the description of the characteristic display unit 2 described above, the case of the data information of the characteristic display unit 2 including three types of information including the header, the characteristic information, and the position information has been described. However, other information may be included.
　例えば、得られた情報を情報表示装置１と例えばサーバ装置または携帯型情報端末などの他の機器との間においてやり取りするための専用のプロトコルに含まれるような情報を含めてもよい。例えば、このような情報としては、情報表示装置１の機器情報（例えば、情報表示装置１のＩＤおよび名称など）および通信に必要な通信情報（例えば、転送するデータサイズの上限およびデータ数など）などを挙げることができる。なお、通信用のプロトコルを特性表示部２のデータ情報にそのまま含めるようにしてもよい。 For example, information that is included in a dedicated protocol for exchanging the obtained information between the information display device 1 and another device such as a server device or a portable information terminal may be included. For example, such information includes device information of the information display device 1 (for example, ID and name of the information display device 1) and communication information necessary for communication (for example, an upper limit of the data size to be transferred and the number of data). And so on. The communication protocol may be included in the data information of the characteristic display unit 2 as it is.
　このように、通信情報を含めることにより通信プロトコルを利用する他の機器にも利用できる汎用性の高いフォーマットとすることができる。 Thus, by including communication information, a highly versatile format that can be used for other devices using the communication protocol can be obtained.
　また、複数の通信プロトコルが共存している場合において通信プロトコルへの変換を読取装置に行わせると、読取装置は全ての通信プロトコルを備えておかなければならない。また、新規の通信プロトコルが登場した場合への対策も考えておかなければならない。そのため、読取装置の機能が複雑となってしまう。しかし、特性表示部２のデータ情報に、通信用のプロトコルを含まれることによって、読取装置において通信プロトコルへ変換する手間を省くことができるため、読取装置の機能を簡素とすることができる。また、複数の通信プロトコルへの対応もシール、または紙などを貼り替えるだけでよいため、新規の通信プロトコルに対応させるために要するコストを非常に安価とすることができる。 In addition, when a plurality of communication protocols coexist, if the reader converts the communication protocol, the reader must have all the communication protocols. We must also consider measures to deal with the emergence of new communication protocols. This complicates the function of the reading device. However, since the communication information is included in the data information of the characteristic display unit 2, it is possible to save the trouble of converting the data into the communication protocol in the reading device, so that the function of the reading device can be simplified. In addition, since it is only necessary to replace a sticker or paper to support a plurality of communication protocols, the cost required to support a new communication protocol can be extremely low.
　また、情報表示部４に表示される文字情報３の文字認識情報を特性表示部２のデータ情報にさらに含めるようにしてもよい。文字認識情報としては、例えば文字のフォント情報、および色情報などを挙げることができる。ここで、色情報とは、文字情報３が白地に黒文字で示されるのか、または黒地に白文字で示されるのかを示す情報である。 Further, the character recognition information of the character information 3 displayed on the information display unit 4 may be further included in the data information of the characteristic display unit 2. Examples of character recognition information include character font information and color information. Here, the color information is information indicating whether the character information 3 is indicated by black characters on a white background or white characters on a black background.
　文字情報３が数値として示される場合、数値は、図５中（ａ）～（ｄ）に示すような７セグメントによる数値表記により示されることが一般的である。ここで、図５中（ａ）は、いずれも「１」を示す表記であるが、縦方向のセグメントの右部分を使用して「１」を表示しているのか、左部分を使用して「１」を表示しているのかが異なる。また、図５中（ｂ）～（ｄ）は、それぞれ「６」、「７」および「９」を示す表記であるが、使用するセグメントの数が異なる。しかし、図５中（ａ）～（ｄ）に示す表記は、いずれも「１」、「６」、「７」、および「９」と認識される。 When the character information 3 is indicated as a numerical value, the numerical value is generally indicated by a numerical notation by 7 segments as shown in (a) to (d) of FIG. Here, (a) in FIG. 5 is a notation indicating “1”, but “1” is displayed using the right part of the vertical segment, or the left part is used. It is different whether “1” is displayed. Further, (b) to (d) in FIG. 5 are notations indicating “6”, “7”, and “9”, respectively, but the number of segments to be used is different. However, the notations shown in (a) to (d) of FIG. 5 are recognized as “1”, “6”, “7”, and “9”.
　このように、７セグメントによる数値の表記では、情報表示装置の製造メーカーによって、セグメントを使用する部分または使用する数が異なることが多々ある。したがって、数値の表記方法が異なる場合であっても、文字情報３を読み取れるように双方の標記方法を示す情報を特性表示部２に表示するようにすることが好ましい。なお、特定の製造メーカーが特定の表記方法を使用している場合には、特性表示部２に製造メーカー名と表記方法とを関連付けた情報を表示するようにしてもよい。 In this way, in the notation of numerical values by 7 segments, there are many cases where the number or the number of segments used differs depending on the manufacturer of the information display device. Therefore, it is preferable to display information indicating both the marking methods on the characteristic display unit 2 so that the character information 3 can be read even if the numerical value notation method is different. When a specific manufacturer uses a specific notation method, information relating the manufacturer name and the notation method may be displayed on the characteristic display unit 2.
　（特性表示部２の作製装置）
　特性表示部２を作製する特性表示部作製装置は、特性表示部２を印刷する印刷手段を備えている。特性表示部作製装置に備えられた印刷手段としては、例えば２次元バーコードの作製に用いる印刷手段を用いることができる。この印刷手段は、予め用意された印刷用データをプリンタに出力することによって、プリンタを制御する。これによりプリンタが文字情報３を表す情報を特性表示部２に印刷することによって、特性表示部２を作製する。 (Production apparatus for characteristic display unit 2)
The characteristic display unit manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing the characteristic display unit 2 includes printing means for printing the characteristic display unit 2. As a printing unit provided in the characteristic display unit manufacturing apparatus, for example, a printing unit used for manufacturing a two-dimensional barcode can be used. This printing means controls the printer by outputting printing data prepared in advance to the printer. Thus, the characteristic display unit 2 is produced by the printer printing information representing the character information 3 on the characteristic display unit 2.
　また、特性表示部作製装置の印刷手段は、ハードウェアロジックによって構成してもよいし、次のようにＣＰＵを用いてソフトウェアによって実現してもよい。 Further, the printing means of the characteristic display unit manufacturing apparatus may be configured by hardware logic, or may be realized by software using a CPU as follows.

　（情報表示装置１の変形例）
　本実施形態では、情報表示装置１が体温計である場合を例に挙げて説明しているが、もちろんこれに限定されるものではない。例えば、図６に示すように、摂取カロリーを測定し、その結果を表示するような装置であってもよい。なお、装置の情報表示部に表示される文字情報の種類（フォントのサイズおよび種類など）は、情報表示部４と同様に、特に限定されるものではない。 (Modification of information display device 1)
In the present embodiment, the case where the information display device 1 is a thermometer has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a device that measures calorie intake and displays the result may be used. Note that the type of character information (such as font size and type) displayed on the information display unit of the apparatus is not particularly limited, as is the case with the information display unit 4.
　この場合、特性表示部２のデータ情報に含まれる特性情報は、文字情報３がカロリーであることを示している。その他は、上述した体温計の場合と同様である。 In this case, the characteristic information included in the data information of the characteristic display unit 2 indicates that the character information 3 is calories. Others are the same as the case of the thermometer mentioned above.
　（情報表示装置１のさらなる変形例）
　本実施形態では、情報表示部４に示される文字情報３が１つである場合について説明しているが、もちろんこれに限定されるものではなく、文字情報３が２つまたはそれ以上表示される情報表示装置であってもよい。図７は、情報表示部４に複数の文字情報３ｂ、３ｃ、３ｄの表示される情報表示装置１ｂを示す図である。なお、ここでは、情報表示装置１ｂが血圧計である場合を例に挙げて説明する。また、図７では、特性表示部が複数に分割されていない場合を例に挙げて説明する。すなわち、図７では、特性表示部が２次元バーコード２ｂとなる。なお、特性表示部が２次元バーコード２ｂである場合におけるデータ情報（バーコード情報）は、上述した特性表示部２におけるデータ情報と同様である。 (Further Modification of Information Display Device 1)
In the present embodiment, the case where there is one character information 3 displayed on the information display unit 4 is described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and two or more character information 3 is displayed. It may be an information display device. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an information display device 1b in which a plurality of character information 3b, 3c, and 3d are displayed on the information display unit 4. Here, a case where the information display device 1b is a sphygmomanometer will be described as an example. In FIG. 7, a case where the characteristic display unit is not divided into a plurality of parts will be described as an example. That is, in FIG. 7, the characteristic display unit is the two-dimensional barcode 2b. The data information (barcode information) when the characteristic display unit is the two-dimensional barcode 2b is the same as the data information in the characteristic display unit 2 described above.
　図７に示すように、情報表示装置１（血圧計）には、最高血圧を示す文字情報３ｂ、最低血圧を示す文字情報３ｃ、および脈拍数を示す文字情報３ｄの３つも文字情報が表示される。したがって、文字情報３と、文字情報３を示す情報とを関連付けて読み取るためには、文字情報３ｂ、３ｃ、３ｄがそれぞれ何を示す情報であるのかを認識する必要がある。 As shown in FIG. 7, the information display device 1 (blood pressure monitor) displays three pieces of character information: character information 3b indicating the maximum blood pressure, character information 3c indicating the minimum blood pressure, and character information 3d indicating the pulse rate. The Therefore, in order to read the character information 3 and the information indicating the character information 3 in association with each other, it is necessary to recognize what the character information 3b, 3c, 3d indicates.
　そのため、特性情報と位置情報とをそれぞれ関連付けて２次元バーコード２ｂに示すことが好ましい。具体的には、２次元バーコード２ｂは、以下の３つの情報を示していることが好ましい。
・２次元バーコード２ｂの右側には、最高血圧を示す文字情報３ｂが表示される。
・文字情報３ｂの下に表示されている文字情報３ｃは、最低血圧を示す。
・文字情報３ｃの下に表示されている文字情報３ｄは、脈拍数を示す。 Therefore, it is preferable that the characteristic information and the position information are associated with each other and indicated in the two-dimensional barcode 2b. Specifically, the two-dimensional barcode 2b preferably indicates the following three pieces of information.
-Character information 3b indicating the systolic blood pressure is displayed on the right side of the two-dimensional barcode 2b.
The character information 3c displayed under the character information 3b indicates the minimum blood pressure.
The character information 3d displayed under the character information 3c indicates the pulse rate.
　このように、文字情報３ｂ、３ｃ、３ｄそれぞれの位置および各文字情報の特性を関連付けて特定した情報を２次元バーコード２ｂとして示すことによって、表示される文字情報が複数である場合であっても、文字情報３ｂ、３ｃ、３ｄと文字情報３ｂ、３ｃ、３ｄそれぞれの特性情報とを関連付けて読み取らせることができる。 As described above, the information that is specified by associating the positions of the character information 3b, 3c, and 3d and the characteristics of the character information in association with each other is indicated as a two-dimensional bar code 2b, thereby displaying a plurality of character information. Also, the character information 3b, 3c, 3d can be read in association with the characteristic information of the character information 3b, 3c, 3d.
　もちろん、各文字情報３ｂ、３ｃ、３ｄの位置は、図２に示すようなレイアウト情報により特定できるようにしてもよい。 Of course, the position of each character information 3b, 3c, 3d may be specified by layout information as shown in FIG.
　また、血圧計のように、情報表示部４に表示される情報が複数である場合は、それぞれの文字情報に２次元バーコード２ｂを備えていてもよい。具体的には、最高血圧を示す文字情報３ｂの特性情報および位置情報を表示する２次元バーコード２ｂ、最低血圧を示す文字情報３ｃの特性情報および位置情報を表示する２次元バーコード２ｂ、脈拍数を示す文字情報３ｄの特性情報および位置情報を表示する２次元バーコード２ｂをそれぞれ備えていてもよい。これによって、ユーザーがある特定の文字情報（例えば、文字情報３ｂ）のみを読み取りたい場合など、ユーザーの希望に応じた、柔軟な処理を行うことができる。 Moreover, when there are a plurality of pieces of information displayed on the information display unit 4 as in a blood pressure monitor, each character information may be provided with a two-dimensional barcode 2b. Specifically, the two-dimensional barcode 2b for displaying the characteristic information and position information of the character information 3b indicating the maximum blood pressure, the two-dimensional barcode 2b for displaying the characteristic information and position information of the character information 3c indicating the minimum blood pressure, the pulse A two-dimensional barcode 2b for displaying the characteristic information and position information of the character information 3d indicating the number may be provided. Thereby, when the user wants to read only certain character information (for example, character information 3b), flexible processing according to the user's desire can be performed.
　（付記事項）
　本実施形態では、特性表示部２のデータ情報における位置情報を、文字情報３の表示位置を示す領域のレイアウト情報としてもつ場合について説明したが、これに限定されるものではない。 (Additional notes)
In the present embodiment, the position information in the data information of the characteristic display unit 2 has been described as the layout information of the area indicating the display position of the character information 3, but the present invention is not limited to this.
　例えば、特性表示部２における位置情報が、２次元バーコード２０に対する大まかな位置および２次元バーコード２０と比較した場合の文字情報３の表示文字の大きさにより示されていてもよい。これによって、上述したようなレイアウト情報は不要となるが、２次元バーコード２０の大きさおよび文字情報３の表示位置と２次元バーコード２０との位置関係の自由度が減ってしまう。 For example, the position information in the characteristic display unit 2 may be indicated by the approximate position with respect to the two-dimensional barcode 20 and the size of the display character of the character information 3 when compared with the two-dimensional barcode 20. This eliminates the need for layout information as described above, but reduces the degree of freedom of the size of the two-dimensional barcode 20 and the positional relationship between the display position of the character information 3 and the two-dimensional barcode 20.
　また、位置情報を全く持たず、特性表示部２と同時に読み取られた情報を文字情報３として認識するようにしてもよい。しかし、読み取った情報を全て文字情報３として認識してしまうため、情報表示装置１の型番などが記載されている場合にはその型番を文字情報３として認識してしまう可能性がある。他にも情報表示部４の付着しているゴミまたは傷などを小数点と誤認識する可能性もある。 Further, the information read at the same time as the characteristic display unit 2 may be recognized as the character information 3 without any position information. However, since all the read information is recognized as the character information 3, if the model number of the information display device 1 is described, the model number may be recognized as the character information 3. In addition, dust or scratches attached to the information display unit 4 may be erroneously recognized as a decimal point.
　したがって、得たい文字情報３を正しく認識する確率は、低下することになる。そのため、このような場合には、読取装置が読み取った情報から文字情報３の可能性がある情報を全て表示し、ユーザーが正しい文字情報３を選択できるようにすることが好ましい。 Therefore, the probability of correctly recognizing the desired character information 3 is reduced. Therefore, in such a case, it is preferable to display all the information that may be the character information 3 from the information read by the reading device so that the user can select the correct character information 3.
　なお、特性表示部２の取り付けられている情報表示装置１として用いることができる体温計、体重計、体脂肪計、血圧計、血糖値測定器、歩数計、および摂取カロリー算出器などは、従来公知のものを用いることができる。また、本実施形態では、通信手段を備えていない情報表示装置の場合について説明しているが、もちろん通信手段を備えている情報表示装置であっても特性表示部２を取り付けることにより本発明の効果を十分に得ることができる。 A thermometer, a weight scale, a body fat scale, a sphygmomanometer, a blood glucose level measuring device, a pedometer, a calorie intake calculating device and the like that can be used as the information display device 1 to which the characteristic display unit 2 is attached are conventionally known. Can be used. In the present embodiment, the case of an information display device that does not include a communication unit is described. Of course, even if the information display device includes a communication unit, the characteristic display unit 2 is attached to the information display device. A sufficient effect can be obtained.
　本明細書等における「生体情報測定器」とは、体温、体重、血圧などの人間の生体情報を測定することを目的とした測定器であり、「健康情報測定器」とは、歩数計、摂取カロリー算出器など人間の健康に関わる情報を測定することを目的とした測定器を指している。 In this specification and the like, the “biological information measuring device” is a measuring device for measuring human biological information such as body temperature, weight, blood pressure, etc., and the “health information measuring device” is a pedometer, It is a measuring instrument that aims to measure information related to human health, such as a calorie intake calculator.

　（特性情報と文字情報との記録の方法）
　情報読取装置１００における特性情報と、文字情報とを関連付けて記録する処理方法について、図９を参照して以下に説明する。図９は、情報読取装置１００における文字情報３と文字情報３の特性情報とを関連付けて記録する処理方法を示すフローチャートである。 (Method of recording characteristic information and character information)
A processing method for recording the characteristic information and the character information in association with each other in the information reading apparatus 100 will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a processing method for associating and recording character information 3 and characteristic information of character information 3 in information reading apparatus 100.
　まず、読取部１０１は、特性表示部２と文字情報３とを画像データとして読み取る（ステップＳ１）。このとき、読取部１０１は、特性表示部２と文字情報３とが同一の画像に収まるように読み取ることが好ましい。続いて、特性表示部認識部１０２は、読み取られた画像に特性表示部２が含まれているか否かを判定する（ステップＳ２）。読み取られた画像に特性表示部２が含まれていない場合には（ステップＳ２においてＮｏ）、情報読取装置１００は記録処理を中止する。 First, the reading unit 101 reads the characteristic display unit 2 and the character information 3 as image data (step S1). At this time, it is preferable that the reading unit 101 reads the characteristic display unit 2 and the character information 3 so as to fit in the same image. Subsequently, the characteristic display unit recognition unit 102 determines whether or not the characteristic display unit 2 is included in the read image (step S2). When the characteristic display unit 2 is not included in the read image (No in step S2), the information reading apparatus 100 stops the recording process.
　読み取られた画像に特性表示部２が含まれている場合（ステップＳ２においてＹｅｓ）、特性表示部認識部１０２は、特性表示部２のバーコード情報から特性情報を抽出し、文字情報３の特性情報を取得する（ステップＳ３）。そして、特性表示部認識部１０２は、取得した特性情報を記録制御部１０５へと送る。 When the read image includes the characteristic display unit 2 (Yes in step S2), the characteristic display unit recognition unit 102 extracts the characteristic information from the barcode information of the characteristic display unit 2, and the characteristic of the character information 3 Information is acquired (step S3). Then, the characteristic display unit recognition unit 102 sends the acquired characteristic information to the recording control unit 105.
　次に、文字情報認識部１０３は、特性表示部２のバーコード情報から位置情報を抽出し、文字情報３として取得する情報の表示されている位置を取得する。そして、文字情報認識部１０３は、当該位置に文字情報３が表示されているか否かを判定する（ステップＳ４）。特性表示部２に示された位置情報の位置に文字情報３が表示されていない場合には（ステップＳ４においてＮｏ）、情報読取装置１００は記録処理を中止する。 Next, the character information recognizing unit 103 extracts position information from the barcode information of the characteristic display unit 2 and acquires a position where information to be acquired as the character information 3 is displayed. Then, the character information recognition unit 103 determines whether or not the character information 3 is displayed at the position (step S4). When the character information 3 is not displayed at the position of the position information indicated on the characteristic display unit 2 (No in step S4), the information reading apparatus 100 stops the recording process.
　特性表示部２に示された位置情報の位置に文字情報３が表示されている場合には（ステップＳ４においてＹｅｓ）、文字情報認識部１０３は、当該位置に表示されている情報を文字情報３として取得する（ステップＳ５）。 When the character information 3 is displayed at the position of the position information indicated on the characteristic display unit 2 (Yes in step S4), the character information recognition unit 103 converts the information displayed at the position into the character information 3 (Step S5).
　次に、補正部１０４は、取得した文字情報３を予め設定されている補正情報に基づいて補正する（ステップＳ６）。補正部１０４における補正の具体的な説明については下記に詳述するため、ここではその説明を省略する。補正部１０４は、補正した文字情報３を記録制御部１０５へと送る。 Next, the correcting unit 104 corrects the acquired character information 3 based on preset correction information (step S6). Since a specific description of the correction in the correction unit 104 will be described in detail below, the description thereof is omitted here. The correction unit 104 sends the corrected character information 3 to the recording control unit 105.
　記録制御部１０５は、特性表示部認識部１０２において取得された特性情報と、補正部１０４において補正された文字情報３とを関連付けた情報を作成し、記録部１０６に記録させる（ステップＳ７）。 The recording control unit 105 creates information in which the characteristic information acquired by the characteristic display unit recognition unit 102 and the character information 3 corrected by the correction unit 104 are associated with each other, and causes the recording unit 106 to record the information (step S7).
　以上説明したような処理方法によって、通信手段を備えていない情報表示装置であっても、文字情報３と文字情報３の特性を示す特性情報とを関連付けて記録することができる。 By the processing method as described above, even an information display device that does not include communication means can record the character information 3 and the characteristic information indicating the characteristics of the character information 3 in association with each other.
　また、通信部１０７は、読取装置１００において記録した文字情報３と文字情報３の特性情報とを関連付けた情報をさらに他の機器に送信する場合に用いる。通信部１０７を用いてさらに他の機器に情報を伝送できるようにすることによって、測定した測定結果を、例えばユーザーの掛かりつけの医療機関などに迅速に送信することができる。 Further, the communication unit 107 is used when information associated with the character information 3 recorded in the reading device 100 and the characteristic information of the character information 3 is further transmitted to another device. By making it possible to transmit information to other devices using the communication unit 107, it is possible to quickly transmit the measured measurement results to, for example, a user's medical institution.
　なお、通信部１０７によりさらに他の機器に情報を送信する場合には、文字情報３と文字情報３の特性情報とを関連付けた情報を記録部１０６に記録することなく、そのまま通信部１０７からさらに他の機器に送信するようにしてもよい。 Note that when information is further transmitted to another device by the communication unit 107, the information associated with the character information 3 and the characteristic information of the character information 3 is not recorded in the recording unit 106, and is further directly transmitted from the communication unit 107. You may make it transmit to another apparatus.
　（文字情報３の補正の詳細）
　補正情報に基づいた文字情報３の補正の詳細について、図１０を参照して以下に説明する。図１０は、補正情報に基づいた文字情報３の補正について示す図である。なお、ここでは、情報表示装置１が体重計であり、情報読取装置１００が読取部としてカメラを備えている携帯電話２００に搭載されている場合を例に挙げて説明する。 (Details of correction of character information 3)
Details of the correction of the character information 3 based on the correction information will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating correction of the character information 3 based on the correction information. Here, a case where the information display device 1 is a scale and the information reading device 100 is mounted on a mobile phone 200 having a camera as a reading unit will be described as an example.
　図１０に示すように、情報表示装置１の情報表示部４には、ユーザーが自身の体重を認識できるように通常の数値表示で体重が表示されている。そして、体重の表示されている情報表示部４の左側には、特性表示部２が取り付けられている。特性表示部２の詳細については、実施形態１において説明したため、ここではその説明を省略する。 As shown in FIG. 10, the information display unit 4 of the information display device 1 displays the weight in a normal numerical display so that the user can recognize his / her own weight. And the characteristic display part 2 is attached to the left side of the information display part 4 where the weight is displayed. Since the details of the characteristic display unit 2 have been described in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted here.
　したがって、ユーザーは、情報読取装置１００の搭載された携帯電話２００に備えられたカメラを用いて、特性表示部２と情報表示部４に表示された体重とを同時に読み取る。これによって、携帯電話２００に搭載された情報読取装置１００は、読み取った画像から、上述した記録処理方法に従って情報表示部４に表示されている文字情報が「体重」であること、およびユーザーの体重が８８．６ｋｇであることを認識し、情報として取得する。 Therefore, the user simultaneously reads the weight displayed on the characteristic display unit 2 and the information display unit 4 using the camera provided in the mobile phone 200 on which the information reading device 100 is mounted. As a result, the information reading apparatus 100 mounted on the mobile phone 200 indicates that the character information displayed on the information display unit 4 from the read image according to the above-described recording processing method is “weight” and the weight of the user. Is 88.6 kg and is acquired as information.
　このとき、ユーザーは特性表示部２および情報表示部４に表示された情報を読み取る際、携帯電話２００を手に持って読み取る。すなわち、情報表示装置１に表示された数値は、ユーザーの持っている携帯電話２００を含む値となり、ユーザーの正確な体重ではない。したがって、携帯電話２００に搭載されている情報読取装置１００には、補正情報として、携帯電話２００の重量（例えば０．１ｋｇ）が保存されている。すなわち、図８に示す補正部１０４は、補正情報として予め保存されている携帯電話２００の重量（０．１ｋｇ）を情報表示部４に表示されている数値（８８．６ｋｇ）から差し引く。そして、情報読取装置１００は、補正した値（８８．５ｋｇ）をユーザーの体重として取得する。 At this time, the user reads the information displayed on the characteristic display unit 2 and the information display unit 4 by holding the mobile phone 200 in his / her hand. That is, the numerical value displayed on the information display device 1 is a value including the mobile phone 200 that the user has, and is not an accurate weight of the user. Therefore, the information reader 100 mounted on the mobile phone 200 stores the weight (for example, 0.1 kg) of the mobile phone 200 as correction information. That is, the correction unit 104 shown in FIG. 8 subtracts the weight (0.1 kg) of the mobile phone 200 stored in advance as correction information from the numerical value (88.6 kg) displayed on the information display unit 4. Then, the information reading apparatus 100 acquires the corrected value (88.5 kg) as the weight of the user.
　このように、情報読取装置１００において認識した文字情報を補正するための補正情報を予め定めておくことにより、ユーザーが記録した情報を逐一修正する手間を省くことができる。そのため、情報読取装置１００の利便性をより一層向上することができる。 As described above, by previously determining correction information for correcting the character information recognized by the information reading apparatus 100, it is possible to save time and effort for correcting the information recorded by the user. Therefore, the convenience of the information reading apparatus 100 can be further improved.
　なお、上記では補正情報が携帯電話２００の重量である場合を例に挙げて説明したが、もちろんこれに限定されるものではない。例えば、体重は、地球の自転の遠心力の影響を受けることが知られている。すなわち、緯度が低いと体重は少なく換算されるため、体重計によっては緯度による補正が必要な場合がある。携帯電話に多く搭載されているＧＰＳ機能を用いることにより、補正が行われない安価な体重計を使用した場合であっても、ユーザーの現在いる緯度情報を取得し、重量を補正することができる。 In the above description, the case where the correction information is the weight of the mobile phone 200 has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is known that weight is affected by the centrifugal force of the earth's rotation. That is, when the latitude is low, the weight is converted to be small, so that depending on the scale, correction based on the latitude may be required. By using the GPS function that is often installed in mobile phones, it is possible to acquire the latitude information of the user and correct the weight even when using an inexpensive scale that is not corrected. .
　もちろん、補正することができる機器は、体重計に限定されるものではない。例えば、情報表示装置１が体温計である場合、日本では、通常、温度の単位として摂氏を用いるが、例えば米国では温度の単位として華氏を用いるのが一般的である。したがって、通常は日本の体温計で記録しているユーザーが、例えば米国に出張したときなどに米国の体温計で記録を行う場合、体温計における温度の単位系が異なるため、読み取った値を正しく比較することができない。 Of course, the device that can be corrected is not limited to the scale. For example, when the information display device 1 is a thermometer, in Japan, Celsius is usually used as a temperature unit, but in the United States, for example, Fahrenheit is generally used as a temperature unit. Therefore, when a user who normally records with a Japanese thermometer records on a US thermometer, for example, when traveling to the US, the temperature unit system of the thermometer is different, so the readings should be compared correctly. I can't.
　このような単位の違いによって数値を比較することができなくなることを避けるために、例えばＳＩ単位への変換プログラムを補正情報として情報読取装置１００に予め保存しておいてもよい。 In order to avoid that the numerical values cannot be compared due to such a difference in units, for example, a conversion program to SI units may be stored in advance in the information reading apparatus 100 as correction information.
　また、補正情報は、ユーザーにより設定できるようにしてもよい。例えば、情報表示装置１が摂取カロリー測定器である場合、ユーザーが食事制限などにより食事を常に一割残すというルールを定めていることがある。このような場合、表示されたカロリー表示をそのまま読み取ってしまうと、正しい値を反映することができない。 Also, the correction information may be set by the user. For example, when the information display device 1 is a calorie intake meter, the user may have a rule that always leaves 10% of meals due to dietary restrictions. In such a case, if the displayed calorie display is read as it is, a correct value cannot be reflected.
　そこで、ユーザーが、文字情報認識部１０３において認識されたカロリー表示量に０．９を掛けるという補正情報を設定することによって、記録されるカロリー量を常に正しい値とすることができる。また、残す食事の量が変化した場合であっても、補正情報を変更することによって、引き続き正しい値を記録することができる。 Therefore, when the user sets correction information that multiplies the calorie display amount recognized by the character information recognition unit 103 by 0.9, the recorded calorie amount can always be set to a correct value. Even if the amount of meal to be changed is changed, the correct value can be continuously recorded by changing the correction information.
　なお、補正情報は上述した補正情報に限定されるものではなく、例えば血圧計、体脂肪計など用いる情報表示装置の種類に基づいて様々設定することができる。 Note that the correction information is not limited to the correction information described above, and can be variously set based on the type of information display device used, such as a blood pressure monitor or a body fat meter.
　また、保存されている補正情報は一つに限定されるものではなく、複数の補正情報が保存されていることが好ましい。補正情報が複数保存されている場合には、補正情報と特性情報とを関連付けて保存しておき、特性表示部２から取得した特性情報に基づいて、用いる補正情報を決定することが好ましい。例えば、取得した特性情報が「体温」であれば、体温に関連付けられた補正情報を用いるようにする。 Further, the stored correction information is not limited to one, and a plurality of correction information is preferably stored. When a plurality of correction information is stored, it is preferable to store the correction information and the characteristic information in association with each other and determine the correction information to be used based on the characteristic information acquired from the characteristic display unit 2. For example, if the acquired characteristic information is “body temperature”, correction information associated with the body temperature is used.

　これによって、旧来の情報表示装置であっても、情報表示装置を改造することなく、情報表示部に表示された文字情報と当該文字情報の特性とを自動的に関連付けて読取装置に読み取らせることができる効果を奏する。 As a result, even in the case of a conventional information display device, the character information displayed on the information display unit and the characteristics of the character information are automatically associated and read by the reading device without modifying the information display device. There is an effect that can.
