 図5乃至図10は、図1に示す体組成計システム1の主な動作例を示す概略フローチャートである。
 また、図5は、体組成計システム1の主な動作例のうち、被検者が体組成計10で体脂肪率等の体組成値を測定する事前のデータの登録工程を示す概略フローチャートである。
 以下、先ず、図5のフローチャートに沿って説明する。
5 to 10 are schematic flowcharts showing main operation examples of the body composition measuring system 1 shown in FIG.
FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart showing a pre-data registration process in which a subject measures a body composition value such as a body fat ratio with the body composition meter 10 in the main operation example of the body composition meter system 1. is there.
Hereinafter, first, description will be given along the flowchart of FIG.
 本実施の形態の体組成計システム1を利用する被検者が体組成計10を個人で利用する場合は、図5の工程で自己の性別、身長及び年齢等の個人情報を体組成計10に入力する。
 一方、本体組成システム1を病院等に来院する不特定多数の患者(被検者)の体脂肪率等の体組成値を計測するときは、図5の工程は実施しない。
When a subject using the body composition meter system 1 of the present embodiment uses the body composition meter 10 individually, personal information such as his / her gender, height and age is obtained in the process of FIG. To enter.
On the other hand, when measuring body composition values such as the body fat percentage of an unspecified number of patients (subjects) who visit the body composition system 1 at a hospital or the like, the process of FIG. 5 is not performed.
 図5のステップST(以下「ST」とする。)1では、図1の体組成計側ディスプレイ13には「被検者の個人情報(性別、身長及び年齢)」の入力画面が表示される。
 次いで、ST2に進む。ST2では、体組成計10は、「個人情報」の入力が終了したか否かを判断し、終了したと判断したときは、ST3へ進む。
In step ST (hereinafter referred to as “ST”) 1 in FIG. 5, an input screen for “personal information (gender, height, and age) of the subject” is displayed on the body composition meter-side display 13 in FIG. 1. .
Next, the process proceeds to ST2. In ST2, the body composition meter 10 determines whether or not the input of “personal information” has been completed, and when it is determined that the input has been completed, the process proceeds to ST3.
 ST3では、「被検者の個人情報(性別、身及び、年齢等)を「番号情報(例えば、「1」)」と共に「番号関連個人情報記憶部105」に記憶する。
 具体的には、この番号情報は、図1(b)の操作スイッチ12a、12b、12c等を操作して行う。
 この工程で、例えば、特定の被検者「甲」の個人情報が「番号1」に記憶されることになる。
In ST3, “the subject's personal information (gender, body, age, etc.) is stored in the“ number-related personal information storage unit 105 ”together with“ number information (eg, “1”) ”.
Specifically, this number information is obtained by operating the operation switches 12a, 12b, 12c, etc. in FIG.
In this step, for example, personal information of a specific subject “Exhibit A” is stored in “No. 1”.
 図6は、体組成計システム1の主な動作例のうち、不特定多数の被検者が体組成計10を利用する「病院モード」と、特定の被検者が自宅等で利用する「登録個人/ゲストモード」を選択する工程を示す概略フローチャートである。
 図6のST11では、体組成計10は、外部、すなわち図1(a)のデータカード100から個人情報(性別、身長、年齢)を取得したか否かを判断する。
 すなわち、図1(a)のデータカード100は、図2に示すように、そのデータカード100を所持している被検者自身の性別、身長及び年齢の個人情報が、「データカード側個人情報記憶部105」に記憶されている。
 したがって、データカード100の「データカード側リードライト装置101」と体組成計10の「体組成計側リードライト装置14」が近距離無線通信を行うことにより、体組成計10は、データカード100から個人情報を取得することができる構成となっている。
FIG. 6 shows a “hospital mode” in which an unspecified number of subjects use the body composition meter 10 among main operation examples of the body composition meter system 1, and “a particular subject uses at home”. It is a schematic flowchart which shows the process of selecting "registration individual / guest mode".
In ST11 of FIG. 6, the body composition meter 10 determines whether personal information (gender, height, age) has been acquired from the outside, that is, the data card 100 of FIG.
That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the data card 100 in FIG. 1A has personal information of the gender, height, and age of the subject who owns the data card 100 as “personal information on the data card side”. It is stored in the storage unit 105 ”.
Therefore, when the “data card side read / write device 101” of the data card 100 and the “body composition side read / write device 14” of the body composition meter 10 perform short-range wireless communication, the body composition meter 10 The personal information can be acquired from.
 ST11で、データカード100から個人情報を取得したと判断されると、体組成計10は、図4の「個人情報記憶部32」に当該取得した「個人情報」を記憶すると共に、ST12へ進む。
 ST12では、図4の「モード切替部(プログラム)33」が動作し、体組成計10の動作モードを「病院モード」とする。「病院モード」の内容については後述する。
If it is determined in ST11 that personal information has been acquired from the data card 100, the body composition meter 10 stores the acquired “personal information” in the “personal information storage unit 32” in FIG. 4 and proceeds to ST12. .
In ST12, the “mode switching unit (program) 33” in FIG. 4 operates, and the operation mode of the body composition monitor 10 is set to “hospital mode”. The contents of “hospital mode” will be described later.
 一方、ST11で、データカード100から個人情報を取得されないときは、ST13へ進む。ST13では、「病院モード」又は「登録個人/ゲストモード」が図1(b)の操作スイッチ12a等で入力されたか否かを判断する。
 すなわち、体組成計10が自動的に「病院モード」又は「登録個人/ゲストモード」の別を判断するのではなく、被検者が、図1(b)の操作スイッチ11a等を操作することにより、手動で「モード」を設定したか否かが判断される。
 このように、本実施の形態では、「病院モード」又は「登録個人/ゲストモード」の別が自動的に、又は手動で選択される構成となっている。
On the other hand, when the personal information is not acquired from the data card 100 in ST11, the process proceeds to ST13. In ST13, it is determined whether or not “hospital mode” or “registered individual / guest mode” has been input using the operation switch 12a or the like in FIG.
That is, the body composition meter 10 does not automatically determine whether it is “hospital mode” or “registered individual / guest mode”, but the subject operates the operation switch 11a and the like in FIG. Thus, it is determined whether or not the “mode” is manually set.
As described above, the present embodiment has a configuration in which “hospital mode” or “registered individual / guest mode” is automatically or manually selected.
 ST13で、「病院モード」又は「登録個人/ゲストモード」が操作スイッチ12a等で入力されたと判断されたときは、ST14へ進む。ST14では、入力されたモードが「病院モード」のときは、ST12で「病院モード」が実行される。
 一方、ST14で、入力されたモードが「登録個人/ゲストモード」のときは、ST15へ進み、「登録個人/ゲストモード」が実行される。
 「登録個人/ゲストモード」の内容について、後述する。
When it is determined in ST13 that “hospital mode” or “registered individual / guest mode” has been input by the operation switch 12a or the like, the process proceeds to ST14. In ST14, when the input mode is “hospital mode”, “hospital mode” is executed in ST12.
On the other hand, when the input mode is “registered individual / guest mode” in ST14, the process proceeds to ST15 and “registered individual / guest mode” is executed.
The contents of “registered individual / guest mode” will be described later.
 一方、ST13で、操作スイッチ12a等の操作によって、モード切替信号が入力されないと判断されたときは、ST16へ進む。
 ST16では、図3の「体組成計側計時装置17」等を参照して、所定時間が経過したか否かを判断し、所定時間が経過したときは、データカード100等からの個人情報の入力はないとして、ST15の「登録個人/ゲストモード」が実行される。
On the other hand, when it is determined in ST13 that the mode switching signal is not input by operating the operation switch 12a or the like, the process proceeds to ST16.
In ST16, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed with reference to the “body composition measuring device 17” in FIG. 3, and when the predetermined time has passed, the personal information from the data card 100 etc. Assuming that there is no input, the “registered individual / guest mode” of ST15 is executed.
 以上のように、本実施の形態では、体組成計10は、「病院モード」と「登録個人/ゲストモード」の双方のモードの実行が可能な構成となっているので、各モードを適切に選択することができる構成となっている。 As described above, in the present embodiment, the body composition meter 10 is configured to be able to execute both the “hospital mode” and the “registered individual / guest mode”. The configuration is selectable.
 図7及び図8は、病院モードを示す概略フローチャートである。
 この「病院モード」では、図1(a)の体組成計10が、不特定多数の患者等の被検者が利用する病院等の施設で利用するためのモードとなっている。
 先ず、ST21で、図3の「体重測定装置16」が動作して「体重測定動作」が実行される。
 次いで、ST22へ進む。ST22では「体重測定装置16」による体重測定結果が確定したか否かが判断される。
7 and 8 are schematic flowcharts showing the hospital mode.
In the “hospital mode”, the body composition meter 10 in FIG. 1A is a mode for use in a facility such as a hospital used by examinees such as an unspecified number of patients.
First, in ST21, the “weight measurement device 16” in FIG. 3 is operated to execute the “weight measurement operation”.
Next, the process proceeds to ST22. In ST22, it is determined whether or not the weight measurement result by the “weight measurement device 16” has been confirmed.
 ST22で、体重測定結果が確定したときは、ST23へ進む。ST23では、体重測定結果を図4の「体重測定結果記憶部34」に記憶する。
 次いで、ST24へ進む。ST24では、図3の体組成計側計時装置17等を参照して、所定時間が経過したか否かが判断される。
 すなわち、体組成計10が体脂肪率等の体組成値を測定(算出)するには、当該被検者の体重情報のみならず、当該被検者の性別、身長及び年齢等の個人情報が必要である。
 しかし、これらの情報は個人情報であるため、不特定多数の被検者が利用する病院等に配置される体組成計10には、これら個人情報の保護の観点から、個人情報を記憶しない構成となっている。
 したがって、当該被検者のデータカード100から当該被検者の個人情報を取得する構成となっている。
 本工程では、データカード100から当該体重測定を行った被検者の個人情報の入力を所定時間待つこと構成となっている。
When the weight measurement result is confirmed in ST22, the process proceeds to ST23. In ST23, the weight measurement result is stored in the “weight measurement result storage unit 34” in FIG.
Next, the process proceeds to ST24. In ST24, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed with reference to the body composition meter-side timing device 17 in FIG.
That is, in order for the body composition meter 10 to measure (calculate) a body composition value such as a body fat percentage, not only the subject's weight information but also personal information such as the subject's sex, height, and age, etc. is necessary.
However, since these pieces of information are personal information, the body composition meter 10 placed in a hospital or the like used by an unspecified number of subjects does not store personal information from the viewpoint of protecting these personal information. It has become.
Therefore, the personal information of the subject is acquired from the data card 100 of the subject.
In this process, it is configured to wait for a predetermined time for the input of the personal information of the subject who performed the weight measurement from the data card 100.
 そして、所定時間経過しても、体組成計10が、データカード100から個人情報を取得できないときは、ST25へ進む。
 ST25では、体組成計10の「体組成計側ディスプレイ13」に「体重測定結果情報記憶部34」の「体重測定情報」のみが表示され、体脂肪率等の体組成値の情報は表示されない。
 すなわち、体脂肪率等の体組成値の情報の算出は行わない。これは所定時間経過後に取得された性別等の個人情報を使用すると、不特定多数の被検者が順番に使用する病院等の施設では、誤って他の被検者の個人情報を使用して体脂肪率等の体組成値を算出するおそれがあり、かかる事態の発生を未然に防止するためである。
If the body composition meter 10 cannot acquire personal information from the data card 100 even after the predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to ST25.
In ST25, only "weight measurement information" of "weight measurement result information storage unit 34" is displayed on "body composition meter side display 13" of body composition monitor 10, and information of body composition values such as body fat percentage is not displayed. .
That is, calculation of information on body composition values such as body fat percentage is not performed. When using personal information such as gender acquired after the lapse of a predetermined time, in a facility such as a hospital that is used in order by an unspecified number of subjects, the personal information of other subjects is used by mistake. This is because a body composition value such as a body fat percentage may be calculated, and this situation is prevented in advance.
 一方、ST24で、所定時間が経過していないときは、当該体重測定を行った被検者の個人情報の取得の可能が高いと判断し、ST26へ進む。
 ST26では、性別等の個人情報を取得したか否かを判断し、データカード100等から個人情報を取得した場合は、ST27で、当該取得した性別等の個人情報を「個人情報記憶部32」に記憶する。
 なお、図6のST11で、既に個人情報を取得している場合は、記憶しない。
On the other hand, when the predetermined time has not elapsed in ST24, it is determined that the personal information of the subject who performed the weight measurement is highly likely to be acquired, and the process proceeds to ST26.
In ST26, it is determined whether or not personal information such as sex has been acquired. If personal information is acquired from the data card 100 or the like, in ST27, the acquired personal information such as gender is stored in the “personal information storage unit 32”. To remember.
Note that, if the personal information has already been acquired in ST11 of FIG. 6, it is not stored.
 次いで、ST28へ進む。ST28では、図4の「体組成計算部(プログラム)35」が、図4の「個人情報記憶部32」の「個人情報」及び「体重測定結果情報記憶部34」の「体重測定結果情報」に基づいて「体組成値(体脂肪率、基礎代謝率、BMI、筋肉量、水分量)」を演算し、図4の「体組成値記憶部36」に記憶する。 Next, proceed to ST28. In ST28, the “body composition calculation unit (program) 35” in FIG. 4 performs “personal information” in the “personal information storage unit 32” in FIG. 4 and “weight measurement result information” in the “weight measurement result information storage unit 34”. "Body composition value (body fat rate, basal metabolic rate, BMI, muscle mass, water content)" is calculated and stored in the "body composition value storage unit 36" in FIG.
 次いで、ST29へ進む。ST29では、図4の「体組成値記憶部36」の体組成値情報を「体組成計側ディスプレイ13」に表示する。
 したがって、被検者及び病院の看護師等の医療従事者等は、当該被検者の体脂肪率等の体組成値を把握することができる。
 次いで、ST30へ進む。ST30では、「体組成値記憶部36」の体組成値情報を通信可能なデータカード100、すなわち、当該被検者の所持するデータカード100に送信する。
Next, the process proceeds to ST29. In ST29, the body composition value information of the “body composition value storage unit 36” in FIG. 4 is displayed on the “body composition meter side display 13”.
Therefore, medical personnel such as the subject and a hospital nurse can grasp the body composition value such as the body fat percentage of the subject.
Next, the process proceeds to ST30. In ST30, the body composition value information in the “body composition value storage unit 36” is transmitted to the communicable data card 100, that is, the data card 100 possessed by the subject.
 次いで、ST31へ進む。ST31では、データカード100が受信した「体組成値」を図2の「データカード側体組成値記憶部106」に記憶する。
 したがって、当該被検者は、自己の体脂肪率等の体組成値の情報を自己のデータカード100内に取得し、記憶させることができる。
Next, the process proceeds to ST31. In ST31, the “body composition value” received by the data card 100 is stored in the “data card side body composition value storage unit 106” in FIG.
Therefore, the subject can acquire and store information on body composition values such as his / her body fat percentage in his / her data card 100.
 次いで、ST32へ進む。ST32では、体組成計10の「体組成値情報削除部(プログラム)37」が動作して、「体組成値記憶部36」の体脂肪率等の体組成値情報及び「個人情報記憶部32」の性別等の個人情報を削除する。
 すなわち、「体組成値情報削除部(プログラム)37」は、「体組成値記憶部36」の体組成値情報を通信可能なデータカード100に送信することを条件に「体組成値情報」を削除する。
 したがって、病院等の不特定多数の被検者が使用する体組成計10には、被検者の性別等の個人情報や、体脂肪率等の体組成値情報が一切残らないので、個人情報等を保護することができ、病院関係者等が安心して使用することができる体組成計10となる。
 ここで、「個人情報記憶部32」の性別等の個人情報が「非保存第2基本情報」の一例となっている。
Next, the process proceeds to ST32. In ST32, the “body composition value information deletion unit (program) 37” of the body composition meter 10 operates, and the body composition value information such as the body fat percentage in the “body composition value storage unit 36” and the “personal information storage unit 32”. Delete personal information such as gender.
That is, the “body composition value information deletion unit (program) 37” transmits “body composition value information” on condition that the body composition value information in the “body composition value storage unit 36” is transmitted to the communicable data card 100. delete.
Therefore, personal information such as sex and body composition value information such as body fat percentage does not remain in the body composition meter 10 used by a large number of unspecified subjects such as hospitals. Can be protected, and the body composition meter 10 can be used with peace of mind by hospital personnel and the like.
Here, personal information such as gender in the “personal information storage unit 32” is an example of “non-saved second basic information”.
 なお、本実施の形態では、STデータカード100等から取得した「個人情報」を「個人情報記憶部32」に記憶させ、「体組成値」を取得した後、ST32で、当該「個人情報」を削除することで、個人情報を体組成計10に保存しない構成としている。
 しかし、本発明は、これに限らず、データカード100等と通信状態を維持し、データカード100等から取得した「個人情報」を「個人情報記憶部32」に記憶させることなく利用して、「体組成値」を取得する構成とすることも含まれる。この場合も、体組成計10に「個人情報」が保存されない構成となる。
In the present embodiment, the “personal information” acquired from the ST data card 100 or the like is stored in the “personal information storage unit 32”, and the “body composition value” is acquired. The personal information is not stored in the body composition meter 10 by deleting the.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and maintains the communication state with the data card 100 or the like, and uses the “personal information” acquired from the data card 100 or the like without storing it in the “personal information storage unit 32”. It is also included that the “body composition value” is obtained. Also in this case, the “personal information” is not stored in the body composition meter 10.
 次いで、ST33へ進む。ST33では、データカード100から「データカード側計時装置104」の「時刻情報」が体組成計10へと送信される。
 次いで、ST34では、体組成計10は、データカード100から「時刻情報」を取得し、「体組成計側計時装置17」の時刻情報を修正する。
 すなわち、データカード100の「データカード側計時装置104」は、正確な時刻情報を頻繁に取得しているのに対し、体組成計10の「体組成計側計時装置17」は、かかる構成となっていない。
 このため、本実施の形態では、データカード100から「時刻情報」を取得し、修正することで、「体組成計側計時装置17」の時刻情報の精度を向上させる構成となっている。
 したがって、被検者等は、計測した体組成値等の時刻情報を正確に把握することができる。
Next, the process proceeds to ST33. In ST33, “time information” of “data card timing device 104” is transmitted from data card 100 to body composition meter 10.
Next, in ST34, the body composition meter 10 acquires “time information” from the data card 100, and corrects the time information of the “body composition meter-side timing device 17”.
That is, the “data card side timing device 104” of the data card 100 frequently obtains accurate time information, whereas the “body composition time measuring device 17” of the body composition meter 10 has such a configuration. is not.
For this reason, in this Embodiment, it is the structure which improves the precision of the time information of the "body composition measuring device side time measuring apparatus 17" by acquiring and correcting "time information" from the data card 100. FIG.
Therefore, the subject or the like can accurately grasp time information such as the measured body composition value.
 図9及び図10は、図6で示したST15の「登録個人/ゲストモード」の主な工程を示す概略フローチャートである。
 「登録個人/ゲストモード」では、体組成計10が主に被検者の自宅等、すなわち不特定多数の者が体組成計10を使用しない状況での使用態様となる。
 先ず、図9のST51では、番号入力画面が「体組成計側ディスプレイ13」に表示される。
 すなわち、図5のST3で「番号情報」と共に、図4の「番号関連個人情報記憶部31」に記憶された性別等の個人情報の選択が求められる。
9 and 10 are schematic flowcharts showing main steps of the “registered individual / guest mode” in ST15 shown in FIG.
In the “registered individual / guest mode”, the body composition meter 10 is used in a situation where the body composition meter 10 is mainly used by the subject's home or the like, that is, an unspecified number of persons do not use the body composition meter 10.
First, in ST51 of FIG. 9, a number input screen is displayed on the “body composition meter side display 13”.
That is, selection of personal information such as gender stored in the “number-related personal information storage unit 31” in FIG. 4 is requested together with “number information” in ST3 in FIG.
 次いで、ST52へ進む。ST52では、番号が入力されたか否かが判断され、番号が入力されないときは、ST53で所定時間が経過したか否かが判断される。
 ST53で、所定時間が経過したと判断され、それでもなお、番号入力がないときは、登録された番号の被検者が使用するのではなく、一時的に体組成値を計測する「ゲスト」が使用すると判断し、後述の「ゲストモード」の工程が実行される。
Next, the process proceeds to ST52. In ST52, it is determined whether a number has been input. If no number is input, it is determined in ST53 whether a predetermined time has passed.
In ST53, it is determined that the predetermined time has passed, and if the number is still not entered, the “guest” who temporarily measures the body composition value is not used by the subject with the registered number. It is determined that it is to be used, and a “guest mode” process described later is executed.
 一方、ST52で、番号が入力されたときは、ST54へ進む。ST54では、図3の「体重測定装置16」が動作し、ST55で、体重測定結果が確定したか否かが判断される。 On the other hand, when the number is input in ST52, the process proceeds to ST54. In ST54, the “weight measuring apparatus 16” of FIG. 3 operates, and in ST55, it is determined whether or not the weight measurement result is confirmed.
 ST55で、体重測定結果が確定したと判断されたときは、ST56へ進む。ST56では、確定した体重測定結果情報を図4の「体重測定結果情報記憶部34」に記憶させる。
 次いで、ST57へ進む。ST57では、図4の「体組成計算部(プログラム)35」が動作し、入力された「番号」から図4の「番号関連個人情報記憶部31」の「番号関連個人情報」を特定する。
 そして、「体重測定結果情報記憶部34」の「体重測定結果情報」を参照して、「体組成値(体脂肪率、基礎代謝率、BMI、筋肉量、水分量)」を演算し、「番号」に関連付けて、図4の「番号対応体組成値記憶部38」に記憶する。
