For example, in FIG. 7, if the management measurement information is transferred to the information terminal 5 when the advertisement signal is transmitted at 9:00, there is no management measurement information to be transferred after 10:00, so the controller 18 transfers the next blood pressure. The transmission of advertisement signals is controlled to be stopped until measurement is performed. Note that in FIG. 7, scanning by the information terminal 5 continues even after 10 o'clock.
