When a position of a vertical column corresponding to a specific time on the display screen is designated by a pointing device (S3), from the designated position, the blood pressure value data measured at the specific time each day is averaged in the display target period, thereby obtaining a systolic blood pressure average and / or a diastolic blood pressure average (S4). The obtained systolic blood pressure average and / or diastolic blood pressure average is displayed on the display screen together with the column chart (S5).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a blood pressure-related information display device that displays information related to blood pressure of a subject on a display screen and a blood pressure-related information display method. In addition, the present application relates to a storage medium that stores a program for causing a computer to execute such a blood pressure-related information display method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the past, as such a blood pressure-related information display device, for example, a blood pressure-related information display device disclosed in Patent Literature 1 (Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2015-216970) is known. A hospital terminal that constitutes this blood pressure-related information display device displays a blood pressure evaluation item list for promoting a doctor to select a blood pressure evaluation item on a display screen. In this blood pressure evaluation item list, for example, when an item of "trend of change in blood pressure value (display for 90 days)" is selected, a trend of change in a systolic blood pressure value (SBP) and a diastolic blood pressure value (DBP) measured in the morning, in the evening, and at night within 90 days from the present diagnosis day is displayed on the display screen as a line graph (see Figure 7 ). In addition, in the above blood pressure evaluation item list, for example, when an item of "period average value (comparison between last time and present time)" is selected, a period average value of blood pressure values measured in the evening, at night, and in the morning during the present diagnosis period (a period from the last diagnosis to the present diagnosis) is compared with a period average value of blood pressure values measured in the evening, at night, and in the morning during the last diagnosis period (a period from the diagnosis before the last diagnosis to the last diagnosis), and is displayed on the display screen as a bar graph (see Figure 8

[0004] PATENT LITERATURE

[0005] Patent Literature 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2015-216970 SUMMARY

[0006] PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION

[0007] Recently, the association of blood pressure fluctuation at night with cardiovascular risk has been attracting attention, and there is a case where blood pressure measurement is performed at predetermined multiple times of the night (for example, 2 o'clock in the morning, 3 o'clock in the morning, 4 o'clock in the morning, and the like). In this case, there is a demand to simply know the blood pressure average value within multiple days for a specific time.

[0008] However, in the blood pressure-related information display device of the existing example, even when blood pressure measurement is performed at multiple times of the night, blood pressure value data measured at these multiple times is not distinguished from each other for each time, and there is a problem that a blood pressure average value that combines blood pressure values at multiple times is calculated (displayed).​

[0009] Therefore, an object of the present application is to provide a blood pressure-related information display apparatus and a blood pressure-related information display method capable of displaying a blood pressure average value for a plurality of days for a specific time on a display screen by a simple operation. Another object of the present application is to provide a storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute such a blood pressure-related information display method.

[0010] Means for solving the problem

[0011] To solve the above problem, the blood pressure-related information display apparatus of the present application displays information related to a blood pressure of a subject on a display screen, characterized by comprising:

[0012] comprises:

[0013] a data input section which accepts, for a certain subject, blood pressure value data including systolic blood pressure values and diastolic blood pressure values measured every day for a plurality of days at a predetermined plurality of times in a day;

[0014] a storage section which can store the above blood pressure value data;

[0015] a pointing device which can perform an operation of designating a position on the above display screen;

[0016] an initial display control section which, on the above display screen, sets a date and time as a horizontal direction and a blood pressure as a vertical direction, connects the above systolic blood pressure values and the above diastolic blood pressure values for each of the above times to become vertical columns, and arranges the above vertical columns horizontally, thereby displaying a change in blood pressure values for a display target period corresponding to all or a part of the above plurality of days in the form of a column chart;

[0017] a first arithmetic section which, in the display of the above column chart, when a position of a vertical column corresponding to a specific time on the above display screen is designated by the above pointing device, averages data of the above systolic blood pressure values measured at the above specific time every day within the above display target period according to the designated position, thereby obtaining a systolic blood pressure average value for the above specific time, and / or averages data of the above diastolic blood pressure values measured at the above specific time every day within the above display target period, thereby obtaining a diastolic blood pressure average value for the above specific time; and

[0018] a first display control section which displays the above systolic blood pressure average value and / or the above diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the above specific time on the above display screen together with the above column chart. Figure 1

[0019] ​In the present specification, "time" in "a plurality of times of day" means a time of day, i.e., a time irrespective of date. For example, a "time" at which a blood pressure value is measured means 2 o'clock in the morning, 4 o'clock in the morning, etc., but is not limited thereto. In addition, a "time" can also include, for example, a time that is relatively defined as "x hours after bedtime" (e.g., x = 4).

[0020] "Plurality of days" typically means a period of two weeks or a month.

[0021] "Blood pressure value data" includes the above-described systolic blood pressure value and the above-described diastolic blood pressure value. In addition thereto, data of a pulse rate measured together with a blood pressure value, etc., can also be included.

[0022] The initial display control section "sets the date time, blood pressure, etc., respectively to the horizontal axis, vertical axis" means that, in a state in which a user (including a subject and a medical professional such as a doctor or a nurse) views the above-described display screen, corresponding quantities (date time, blood pressure, etc.) are set to the horizontal axis, vertical axis, respectively. However, on the above-described display screen, an axis (straight line), a scale, etc., do not necessarily need to be displayed.

[0023] "Display target period" means a period indicated on the above-described display screen in the horizontal direction, and typically means a period of several days or a week.

[0024] "Indication device" means a device used for a user to perform an operation of designating a position on the above-described display screen, and can be a mouse or a touch screen (a user designates a position on a screen with a finger or a pen) that coincides with the above-described display screen, etc.

[0025] When the display target period is n days (n is a natural number) and the blood pressure values at specific times are BP1, BP2,..., BPn, the "blood pressure average value" of the display target period is defined as (BP1+BP2+...+BPn) / n (in the present specification, this definition is extended to the case where n = 1).

[0026] "The above-described systolic blood pressure average value and / or the above-described diastolic blood pressure average value" means a blood pressure average value of either one of the above-described systolic blood pressure average value and the above-described diastolic blood pressure average value or a blood pressure average value of both.

[0027] In the blood pressure-related information display device of the present application, a data input section receives, for a certain subject, blood pressure value data including systolic blood pressure values and diastolic blood pressure values measured every day for a plurality of days at a plurality of predetermined times of day, respectively, in a display period. The blood pressure value data is stored in a storage section. An initial display control section displays, on a display screen, the date and time in the horizontal direction and the blood pressure in the vertical direction, and displays, for each of the times, the systolic blood pressure values and the diastolic blood pressure values as vertical bars connected to each other, and arranges the vertical bars in the horizontal direction, thereby displaying the changes in the blood pressure values in the display period corresponding to all or a part of the plurality of days in the form of a bar graph. In the display of the bar graph, a user operates an instruction device to specify the position of a vertical bar corresponding to a certain time on the display screen. Then, a first arithmetic section averages the data of the systolic blood pressure values measured at the certain time, respectively, in the display period, thereby obtaining a systolic blood pressure average value for the certain time, and / or averages the data of the diastolic blood pressure values measured at the certain time, respectively, in the display period, thereby obtaining a diastolic blood pressure average value for the certain time, in accordance with the specified position. A first display control section displays the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the certain time on the display screen in association with the bar graph. Thus, according to the blood pressure-related information display device, the blood pressure average values for a plurality of days (the display period) for a certain time can be displayed on the display screen by a simple operation (i.e., the user's operation of specifying the position of a vertical bar corresponding to a certain time on the display screen by the instruction device). Figure 1 In the blood pressure-related information display device of the present application, the first display control section displays the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the certain time on the display screen in the form of a horizontal bar overlapping the bar graph.

[0028] In the blood pressure-related information display device of the present application, the first display control section displays the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the certain time on the display screen in the form of a horizontal bar overlapping the bar graph.

[0029] In the blood pressure-related information display device of this embodiment, since the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the specific time is displayed as a numerical value on the display screen, the user can accurately know the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value. In addition, in the blood pressure-related information display device of this embodiment, the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the specific time is displayed as a horizontal bar overlapping the bar graph (indicating the change in the blood pressure value during the display target period) on the display screen, so the user can intuitively grasp in which position the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value is located with respect to the bar graph.

[0030] In the blood pressure-related information display device of this embodiment, the plurality of times includes a prescribed time and at least two times of elapsed time from bedtime.

[0031] The "prescribed time" is, for example, 2 o'clock in the morning, 4 o'clock in the morning, or the like during the night. The "elapsed time from bedtime" is a time, for example, x hours (x = 4, for example) after the subject gets into bed (after entering a sleeping posture).

[0032] In the blood pressure-related information display device of this embodiment, on the display screen, the bar graph (indicating the change in the blood pressure value during the display target period) and the horizontal bar (indicating the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the specific time) are displayed. Figure 1 In the blood pressure-related information display device of this embodiment, the display of the blood pressure average value (systolic blood pressure average value and / or diastolic blood pressure average value) for the prescribed time and at least two times of elapsed time from bedtime as the specific time is started. Recently, the blood pressure at these times has been focused on in relation to cardiovascular risk. Therefore, according to the blood pressure-related information display device of this embodiment, it is possible to display the blood pressure average value (systolic blood pressure average value and / or diastolic blood pressure average value) for the time that has been focused on in relation to cardiovascular risk.

[0033] In the blood pressure-related information display device of this embodiment, the plurality of times includes a prescribed time and at least two times of elapsed time from bedtime.

[0034] When the position of the upper end portion of the vertical bar corresponding to the specific time on the display screen is specified by the pointing device, the first arithmetic unit obtains the systolic blood pressure average value for the specific time according to the specified position, and the first display control unit displays the systolic blood pressure average value obtained for the specific time and the bar graph (indicating the change in the blood pressure value during the display target period) on the display screen. Figure 1 The display of the blood pressure average value (systolic blood pressure average value and / or diastolic blood pressure average value) for the specific time is started on the display screen.

[0035] When a position of the upper end portion of the vertical column corresponding to a specific time is specified on the display screen by the pointing device, the first arithmetic unit obtains the systolic blood pressure average value with respect to the specific time in accordance with the specified position, and the first display control unit displays the systolic blood pressure average value obtained with respect to the specific time and the columnar graph of the systolic blood pressure average values on the display screen. Figure 1 is displayed on the display screen,

[0036] When a position of the central portion of the vertical column corresponding to a specific time is specified on the display screen by the pointing device, the first arithmetic unit obtains the systolic blood pressure average value and the diastolic blood pressure average value with respect to the specific time in accordance with the specified position, and the first display control unit displays the systolic blood pressure average value and the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained with respect to the specific time and the columnar graph of the systolic blood pressure average values and the diastolic blood pressure average values on the display screen. Figure 1 is displayed on the display screen.

[0037] Here, the "upper end portion" and the "lower end portion" of the vertical column are not limited to the upper end and the lower end (each end point) themselves, but can include a certain range (for example, a range of about 10% of the entire length of the vertical column) from the upper end and the lower end, respectively. The "central portion" of the vertical column refers to a portion other than the "upper end portion" and the "lower end portion" in the entire length of the vertical column.

[0038] In the blood pressure-related information display device of this embodiment, the user operates the pointing device to specify a position of the upper end portion, the lower end portion, or the central portion of the vertical column corresponding to a specific time on the display screen. When a position of the upper end portion of the vertical column corresponding to a specific time is specified on the display screen by the pointing device, the first arithmetic unit obtains the systolic blood pressure average value with respect to the specific time in accordance with the specified position, and the first display control unit displays the systolic blood pressure average value obtained with respect to the specific time and the columnar graph of the systolic blood pressure average values on the display screen. In addition, when a position of the lower end portion of the vertical column corresponding to a specific time is specified on the display screen by the pointing device, the first arithmetic unit obtains the diastolic blood pressure average value with respect to the specific time in accordance with the specified position, and the first display control unit displays the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained with respect to the specific time and the columnar graph of the diastolic blood pressure average values on the display screen. Figure 1 In the blood pressure-related information display device of this embodiment, the user operates the pointing device to specify a position of the upper end portion, the lower end portion, or the central portion of the vertical column corresponding to a specific time on the display screen. When a position of the upper end portion of the vertical column corresponding to a specific time is specified on the display screen by the pointing device, the first arithmetic unit obtains the systolic blood pressure average value with respect to the specific time in accordance with the specified position, and the first display control unit displays the systolic blood pressure average value obtained with respect to the specific time and the columnar graph of the systolic blood pressure average values on the display screen. In addition, when a position of the lower end portion of the vertical column corresponding to a specific time is specified on the display screen by the pointing device, the first arithmetic unit obtains the diastolic blood pressure average value with respect to the specific time in accordance with the specified position, and the first display control unit displays the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained with respect to the specific time and the columnar graph of the diastolic blood pressure average values on the display screen. Figure 1is displayed on the display screen. Here, the upper end portion in each longitudinal column indicates a systolic blood pressure value, and the lower end portion indicates a diastolic blood pressure value. Further, when a position corresponding to the central portion of the longitudinal column at the specific time is specified on the display screen by the pointing device, the first arithmetic unit obtains the systolic blood pressure average value and the diastolic blood pressure average value with respect to the specific time based on the specified position, and the first display control unit displays the systolic blood pressure average value and the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained with respect to the specific time on the display screen in association with the longitudinal column at the specific time. Figure 1 is displayed on the display screen. Thus, if the user specifies a portion indicating a blood pressure value corresponding to a blood pressure average value to be displayed in each longitudinal column, the blood pressure average value to be displayed can be caused to be displayed. That is, the user can cause the blood pressure average value to be displayed by an operation in accordance with his or her natural feeling.

[0039] In the blood pressure-related information display device of one embodiment, when a position corresponding to either one of the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the longitudinal column at the specific time is specified on the display screen by the pointing device, and a position corresponding to the other end portion of the longitudinal column is continuously specified by the pointing device, the first display control unit displays, in addition to the blood pressure average value corresponding to the one end portion with respect to the specific time on the display screen, a blood pressure average value corresponding to the other end portion with respect to the specific time.

[0040] In this specification, "continuously specified" means, for example, a specification within 1 second, which can be regarded as substantially associated with a previous specification.

[0041] In the blood pressure-related information display device of one embodiment, the user operates the pointing device to specify a position corresponding to either one of the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the longitudinal column at the specific time on the display screen, and operates the pointing device to continuously specify a position corresponding to the other end portion of the longitudinal column. Then, the first display control unit displays, in addition to the blood pressure average value corresponding to the one end portion with respect to the specific time on the display screen, a blood pressure average value corresponding to the other end portion with respect to the specific time. Thus, the user can cause both blood pressure average values (here, the systolic blood pressure average value and the diastolic blood pressure average value with respect to the specific time) to be displayed by an operation in accordance with his or her natural feeling.

[0042] In the blood pressure-related information display device of one embodiment, when a position corresponding to the upper end portion, the lower end portion, or the center portion in the vertical column of the specific time is specified on the display screen by the pointing device, and a position corresponding to the same portion in the vertical column of another time is continuously specified on the display screen by the pointing device, the first display control portion displays, on the display screen, the average value of the systolic blood pressure corresponding to the same portion of the another time in addition to the average value of the systolic blood pressure corresponding to the upper end portion, the lower end portion, or the center portion of the specific time.

[0043] In the blood pressure-related information display device of one embodiment, when a position corresponding to the upper end portion, the lower end portion, or the center portion in the vertical column of the specific time is specified on the display screen by the pointing device, and a position corresponding to the same portion in the vertical column of another time is continuously specified on the display screen by the pointing device, the first display control portion displays, on the display screen, the average value of the systolic blood pressure corresponding to the same portion of the another time in addition to the average value of the systolic blood pressure corresponding to the upper end portion, the lower end portion, or the center portion of the specific time.

[0044] In the blood pressure-related information display device of one embodiment, when a specific position on the display screen is held by the pointing device for a long time, the first display control portion increases the amount of information displayed on the display screen compared to the amount of information displayed when the specific position is tapped by the pointing device for a short time. Figure 1

[0045] In this specification, "holding for a long time" means that the specification (pressing) by the pointing device is continuously continued for a constant time or more (e.g., 3 seconds). "Tapping for a short time" means normal specification, in which the specification (pressing) by the pointing device is ended within a constant time (e.g., 1 second).

[0046] "increasing the amount of information" means, for example, that the standard deviation value is displayed together with the average value of the systolic blood pressure corresponding to the specific time when the specific position on the display screen is held by the pointing device for a long time, in contrast to the case where only the average value of the systolic blood pressure corresponding to the specific time is displayed when the specific position on the display screen is tapped by the pointing device for a short time. Figure 1

[0047] In the blood pressure-related information display device of one embodiment, the user operates the pointing device to hold a specific position on the display screen for a long time. Then, the first display control portion increases the amount of information displayed on the display screen compared to the amount of information displayed when the specific position on the display screen is tapped by the pointing device for a short time.​​ Figure 1 The amount of information displayed can be increased in accordance with the natural feeling of the user. Thus, the user can increase the amount of information displayed by operating in accordance with his or her natural feeling.

[0048] In the blood pressure-related information display device of one embodiment, the operation of the pointing device is detected, and the display control unit displays the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value for the specified time on the display screen.

[0049] When the pointing device is pressed for a long time on a position on the display screen corresponding to a vertical column of a specified time, the first operation unit obtains the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value for the specified time for the first half of the display target period and obtains the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value for the specified time for the second half of the display target period,

[0050] The first display control unit displays the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the specified time for the first half of the display target period and the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the specified time for the second half of the display target period on the display screen.

[0051] In the blood pressure-related information display device of one embodiment, the user operates the pointing device and presses for a long time on a position on the display screen corresponding to a vertical column of a specified time. Then, the first operation unit obtains the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value for the specified time for the first half of the display target period and obtains the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value for the specified time for the second half of the display target period. The first display control unit displays the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the specified time for the first half of the display target period and the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the specified time for the second half of the display target period on the display screen. Thus, if the user presses for a long time on a vertical column of a specified time, the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value for the first half and the second half of the display target period can be displayed by a simple operation.

[0052] Note that, depending on whether or not the position of any one of the upper end portion, the lower end portion, or the central portion of the longitudinal column corresponding to the specific time point is long-pressed, the first arithmetic unit obtains only the systolic blood pressure average value for the specific time point, only the diastolic blood pressure average value, or both the systolic blood pressure average value and the diastolic blood pressure average value for the first half or the second half of the display target period. Correspondingly, the first display control unit can display only the systolic blood pressure average value obtained for the specific time point, only the diastolic blood pressure average value, or both the systolic blood pressure average value and the diastolic blood pressure average value for the first half or the second half of the display target period.

[0053] In the blood pressure-related information display device of one embodiment, the device is characterized in that

[0054] The initial display control unit displays marks indicating events that occur every day of the subject on the display screen in the form of a histogram,

[0055] When the mark indicating a specific event is specified by the pointing device and the position of the longitudinal column corresponding to the specific time point is specified on the display screen, the first arithmetic unit obtains a systolic blood pressure average value and / or a diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time point in the specific event occurrence day in which the specific event occurs,

[0056] The first display control unit displays the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the specific time point in the specific event occurrence day on the display screen in the form of a histogram. Figure 1

[0057] An "event" refers to, for example, taking medicine, a medical visit, eating out, employment (or recuperation), arrival of a specific day of the week (e.g., Monday), or the like. What corresponds to an "event" can be variably set by the user.

[0058] A "specific event occurrence day" refers to a date in which a specific event occurs.

[0059] When the specific event occurrence day is m days (m is a natural number not greater than n) in the display target period (n days are assumed to be n natural numbers) and the blood pressure values for the specific time point in the specific event occurrence day are BP1E, BP2E,..., BPmE, the "blood pressure average value" for the specific time point in the specific event occurrence day is defined as (BP1E + BP2E +... + BPmE) / m (in this embodiment, the definition is extended to the case where m = 1).

[0060] ​In the blood pressure-related information display device of one embodiment, the initial display control section displays a mark indicating an event that occurred on a specific day of the subject on the display screen in the bar chart. In a case where the mark indicating the specific event is displayed on the display screen, the user operates the pointing device to specify the mark indicating the specific event and to specify a position of a vertical bar corresponding to the specific time. Then, the first arithmetic section obtains a systolic blood pressure average value and / or a diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time on the specific event occurrence day. The first display control section displays the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the specific time on the specific event occurrence day on the display screen, in place of the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time in the display target period. Thus, the user can easily obtain the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time on the specific event occurrence day by a simple operation (i.e., an operation of selecting the mark indicating the specific event and specifying the position of the vertical bar corresponding to the specific time). Figure 1 In the blood pressure-related information display device of one embodiment, the initial display control section displays a mark indicating an event that occurred on a specific day of the subject on the display screen in the bar chart. In a case where the mark indicating the specific event is displayed on the display screen, the user operates the pointing device to specify the mark indicating the specific event and to specify a position of a vertical bar corresponding to the specific time. Then, the first arithmetic section obtains a systolic blood pressure average value and / or a diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time on the specific event occurrence day. The first display control section displays the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the specific time on the specific event occurrence day on the display screen, in place of the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time in the display target period. Thus, the user can easily obtain the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time on the specific event occurrence day by a simple operation (i.e., an operation of selecting the mark indicating the specific event and specifying the position of the vertical bar corresponding to the specific time).

[0061] Note that the first display control section can display the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time on the specific event occurrence day on the display screen, in place of the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time in the display target period, or can display the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time on the specific event occurrence day together with the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time in the display target period.

[0062] In the blood pressure-related information display device of one embodiment, the initial display control section displays a mark indicating an event that occurred on a specific day of the subject on the display screen in the bar chart. In a case where the mark indicating the specific event is displayed on the display screen, the user operates the pointing device to specify the mark indicating the specific event and to specify a position of a vertical bar corresponding to the specific time. Then, the first arithmetic section obtains a systolic blood pressure average value and / or a diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time on the specific event occurrence day. The first display control section displays the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the specific time on the specific event occurrence day on the display screen, in place of the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time in the display target period. Thus, the user can easily obtain the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time on the specific event occurrence day by a simple operation (i.e., an operation of selecting the mark indicating the specific event and specifying the position of the vertical bar corresponding to the specific time).

[0063] The first arithmetic section further obtains a systolic blood pressure average value and / or a diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time on a remaining day obtained by excluding the specific event occurrence day from the display target period,

[0064] The first display control section displays the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the specific time on the remaining day together with the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time on the specific event occurrence day on the display screen.

[0065] In the above display target period (let n be a natural number, and let n days be the period), when the remaining days are k days (let k = n - m), and the systolic blood pressure values at the specific time in the remaining days are BP1R, BP2R,..., BPkR, the "average blood pressure value" at the specific time in the remaining days is defined as (BP1R + BP2R +... + BPkR) / k (in this embodiment, the definition is extended to the case where k = 1). In the case where k = 0, since there are no remaining days, the average blood pressure value in the remaining days is not calculated, and is not displayed.

[0066] In the blood pressure-related information display device of this embodiment, the first arithmetic unit further obtains the average systolic blood pressure value and / or the average diastolic blood pressure value at the specific time in the remaining days excluding the day on which the specific event occurred from the display target period. The first display control unit displays the average systolic blood pressure value and / or the average diastolic blood pressure value obtained for the specific time in the remaining days together with the average systolic blood pressure value and / or the average diastolic blood pressure value for the specific time on the day on which the specific event occurred on the display screen. Thus, the user can know the average systolic blood pressure value and / or the average diastolic blood pressure value for the specific time on the day on which the specific event occurred and the average systolic blood pressure value and / or the average diastolic blood pressure value for the specific time in the remaining days by comparing them on the display screen.

[0067] In the blood pressure-related information display device of this embodiment, the data input unit inputs data of the pulse rate measured together with the systolic blood pressure value and the diastolic blood pressure value, and the blood pressure value data,

[0068] The data input unit inputs data of the pulse rate measured together with the systolic blood pressure value and the diastolic blood pressure value, and the blood pressure value data,

[0069] The first display control unit displays the change in the pulse rate in the display target period in the form of a line graph on the display screen in the column chart.

[0070] In the blood pressure-related information display device of this embodiment, the data input unit inputs data of the pulse rate measured together with the systolic blood pressure value and the diastolic blood pressure value, and the blood pressure value data. The first display control unit displays the change in the pulse rate in the display target period in the form of a line graph on the display screen in the column chart. Here, the pulse rate indicates the quietness of the subject (the degree of being in a quiet state or in a motion state) at the time of blood pressure measurement. Thus, the user can intuitively determine whether the change in the blood pressure value in the display target period indicated by the column chart is caused by the quietness of the subject.

[0071] In the blood pressure-related information display device of one embodiment, the longitudinal columns forming the column chart are displayed distinguished by at least any one of color, line type, and thickness for each of the time of day corresponding to each longitudinal column.

[0072] The "line type" refers to, for example, a solid line, a dashed line, a single-dot chain line, a double-dot chain line, a double line, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

[0073] In the blood pressure-related information display device of one embodiment, the longitudinal columns forming the column chart are displayed distinguished by at least any one of color, line type, and thickness for each of the time of day corresponding to each longitudinal column. Thus, the user can easily recognize the longitudinal columns forming the column chart on the display screen for each of the time of day corresponding to each longitudinal column.

[0074] In the blood pressure-related information display device of one embodiment, the display screen includes a touch panel,

[0075] The display screen includes a touch panel,

[0076] When the pinch-out or pinch-in operation is performed on the display screen by the touch panel in the horizontal direction, the initial display control portion changes the display target period by enlarging or reducing the display in the horizontal direction of the display screen.

[0077] In the blood pressure-related information display device of one embodiment, the user performs the pinch-out or pinch-in operation on the display screen by the touch panel in the horizontal direction. Then, the initial display control portion changes the display target period by enlarging or reducing the display in the horizontal direction of the display screen. Thus, the user can change the display target period by a simple operation, i.e., the pinch-out or pinch-in operation.

[0078] In the blood pressure-related information display device of one embodiment, the display screen includes a touch panel,

[0079] The blood pressure-related information display device further includes:

[0080] The second operation portion averages the data of the systolic blood pressure values stored in the storage portion for the display target period by combining the plurality of times of day together when a position apart upward from the column chart on the display screen is specified by the pointing device in the display of the column chart, thereby obtaining a systolic blood pressure average value in which the plurality of times of day are combined together, and averages the data of the diastolic blood pressure values stored in the storage portion for the display target period by combining the plurality of times of day together when a position apart downward from the column chart on the display screen is specified by the pointing device in the display of the column chart, thereby obtaining a diastolic blood pressure average value in which the plurality of times of day are combined together.

[0081] The second display control section displays the systolic blood pressure average value or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained by combining the plurality of times together, together with the columnar graph, on the display screen. Figure 1

[0082] In the blood pressure-related information display device of this embodiment, in the display of the columnar graph, the user operates the pointing device to designate a position on the display screen that is apart upward from the columnar graph. Then, the second arithmetic section averages the data of the systolic blood pressure values stored in the storage section during the display target period by combining the plurality of times together, thereby obtaining a systolic blood pressure average value obtained by combining the plurality of times together. On the other hand, in the display of the columnar graph, the user operates the pointing device to designate a position on the display screen that is apart downward from the columnar graph. Then, the second arithmetic section averages the data of the diastolic blood pressure values stored in the storage section during the display target period by combining the plurality of times together, thereby obtaining a diastolic blood pressure average value obtained by combining the plurality of times together. The second display control section displays the systolic blood pressure average value or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained by combining the plurality of times together, together with the columnar graph, on the display screen. Thus, according to the blood pressure-related information display device of this embodiment, the blood pressure average value during the display target period with respect to a specific time can be displayed on the display screen by a simple operation (i.e., an operation in which the user designates a position on the display screen that is apart upward or downward from the columnar graph by using the pointing device). Figure 1

[0083] On the other hand, the blood pressure-related information display method of the present application displays information related to a blood pressure of a subject on a display screen, characterized in that,

[0084] includes:

[0085] a storage section capable of storing blood pressure value data including a systolic blood pressure value and a diastolic blood pressure value;

[0086] an arithmetic section capable of performing an operation on the blood pressure value data; and

[0087] a pointing device capable of performing an operation of designating a position on the display screen,

[0088] the blood pressure-related information display method,

[0089] receives the blood pressure value data measured every day in a plurality of days at a plurality of times on at least a predetermined day in a day for a subject, and stores the blood pressure value data in the storage section,

[0090] ​​On the above display screen, the date and time is set horizontally, and the blood pressure is set vertically, and for each of the above times, the above systolic blood pressure value and the above diastolic blood pressure value are connected to become a vertical column, and the vertical columns are arranged horizontally, thereby displaying the change of the blood pressure value in the display target period corresponding to the above plurality of days in the form of a column chart,

[0091] In the display of the above column chart, when the position of the vertical column corresponding to a specific time on the above display screen is specified by the above pointing device, according to the specified position, the data of the above systolic blood pressure value measured at the above specific time every day in the above display target period is averaged, thereby obtaining the systolic blood pressure average value for the above specific time, and / or, the data of the above diastolic blood pressure value measured at the above specific time every day in the above display target period is averaged, thereby obtaining the diastolic blood pressure average value for the above specific time,

[0092] The above systolic blood pressure average value and / or the above diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the above specific time are displayed on the above display screen. Figure 1

[0093] According to the blood pressure related information display method of the present application, the blood pressure average value for a specific time in a plurality of days (the above display target period) can be displayed on the display screen by a simple operation (i.e., the operation of the user specifying the position of the vertical column corresponding to the specific time on the above display screen by the above pointing device).

[0094] Furthermore, in another aspect, the storage medium of the present application stores a program for causing a computer to execute the above blood pressure related information display method.

[0095] By causing a computer to execute the program stored in the storage medium of the present application, the above blood pressure related information display method can be implemented.

[0096] In another aspect, the blood pressure related information display device of the present application displays information related to the blood pressure of a subject on a display screen, characterized in that,

[0097] has:

[0098] a data input unit that, for a certain subject, accepts blood pressure value data including systolic blood pressure values and diastolic blood pressure values measured every day in a plurality of days at a predetermined plurality of times in a day;

[0099] a storage unit capable of storing the above blood pressure value data;

[0100] a pointing device capable of performing an operation of specifying a position on the above display screen;

[0101] ​The initial display control section displays, on the display screen, the date and time in the horizontal direction, the blood pressure in the vertical direction, and the changes in the blood pressure values during the display target period equivalent to all or a part of the plurality of days as a systolic blood pressure line graph in which points equivalent to the systolic blood pressure values are connected by line segments and a diastolic blood pressure line graph in which points equivalent to the diastolic blood pressure values are connected by line segments.

[0102] The first operation section, in the display of the line graphs, when a position equivalent to a specific time is specified for the systolic blood pressure line graph by the pointing device, averages the data of the systolic blood pressure values measured at the specific time each day within the display target period based on the specified position, thereby obtaining a systolic blood pressure average value for the specific time, and / or when a position equivalent to a specific time is specified for the diastolic blood pressure line graph by the pointing device, averages the data of the diastolic blood pressure values measured at the specific time each day within the display target period based on the specified position, thereby obtaining a diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time.

[0103] The first display control section displays the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the specific time on the display screen together with the line graphs. Figure 1

[0104] In the blood pressure-related information display device of the present application, the initial display control section displays the systolic blood pressure line graph and the diastolic blood pressure line graph instead of the column graph described above. In the display of the line graphs, the user operates the pointing device to specify a position equivalent to a specific time for the systolic blood pressure line graph. Then, the first operation section averages the data of the systolic blood pressure values measured at the specific time each day within the display target period based on the specified position, thereby obtaining a systolic blood pressure average value for the specific time. Alternatively, in the display of the line graphs, the user operates the pointing device to specify a position equivalent to a specific time for the diastolic blood pressure line graph. Then, the first operation section averages the data of the diastolic blood pressure values measured at the specific time each day within the display target period based on the specified position, thereby obtaining a diastolic blood pressure average value for the specific time. The first display control section displays the systolic blood pressure average value and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value obtained for the specific time on the display screen together with the line graphs. Figure 1 ​is displayed on the above display screen. Therefore, according to the blood pressure-related information display device, it is possible to display the average value of the blood pressure for a plurality of days (the display target period) with respect to a specific time on the display screen by a simple operation (i.e., an operation in which the user specifies a position on the broken line graph that corresponds to the specific time using the above pointing device).

[0138] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present application will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0139] (Structure of System)

[0140] Figure 1 ​​​An example of a system (indicated by reference numeral 100) in which the blood pressure-related information display device of the present invention is configured as an embodiment on a network is shown. The system 100 includes: a hospital terminal 200 having a display unit 240 as a display screen, a server 300, a blood pressure monitor 400, and a personal terminal 500 having a display unit 540 as a display screen. These hospital terminals 200, server 300, blood pressure monitor 400, and personal terminals 500 are capable of communicating with each other via a network 900.

[0141] like Figure 2 As shown, the personal terminal 500 includes: a main body 500M, a control unit 510 mounted on the main body 500M, a memory 520, an operation unit 530, a display unit 540 for displaying screens, a GPS (Global Positioning System) unit 570, a voice recognition and analysis unit 580, and a communication unit 590. This personal terminal 500 is a commercially available smartphone, in which application software (computer programs) are installed for the processing described later, and it can access the server 300.

[0142] The control unit 510 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and its auxiliary circuitry, controls various parts of the personal terminal 500, and performs the processing described later based on the programs and data stored in the memory 520. Specifically, it processes data input from the operation unit 530 and the communication unit 590, and stores the processed data in the memory 520, displays it via the display unit 540, or outputs it from the communication unit 590.

[0143] The memory 520 includes: RAM (Random Access Memory) used as a working area required for the control unit 510 to execute programs; and ROM (Read Only Memory) used to store the basic program executed by the control unit 510. Additionally, the storage medium for the auxiliary storage device used as the storage area of ​​the auxiliary memory 520 may also be a semiconductor memory (memory card, SSD (Solid State Drive)), etc.

[0144] In this example, the operation unit 530 consists of a touch screen 531 that overlaps with the display screen of the display unit 540 and a hardware switch (not shown), and inputs operation signals representing the user's (in this example, the subject's) operation to the control unit 510.

[0145] The display unit 540 includes a display screen (e.g., an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or an EL (Electroluminescence) display). The display unit 540 is controlled by the control unit 510, which displays a predetermined image on the display screen. In this example, the display unit 540 and the touch screen 531 constitute a known touch panel.

[0146] The GPS unit 570 is configured with a known system that receives signals from multiple satellites overhead and calculates the current location of the personal terminal 500. The calculated current location is then stored sequentially in the memory 520.

[0147] The speech recognition and analysis unit 580 is composed of the well-known Siri (registered trademark) (Speech Interpretation and Recognition Interface), which in this example is used to recognize and interpret the user's speech and input.

[0148] The communication unit 590 sends information from the control unit 510 to other devices (in this example, the server 300) via the network 900. Additionally, it receives information from other devices via the network 900 and transmits it to the control unit 510.

[0149] like Figure 3 As shown, the hospital terminal 200 includes a main body 200M, a control unit 210 mounted on the main body 200M, a memory 220, an operation unit 230, a display unit 240 for displaying screens, and a communication unit 290. This hospital terminal 200 is composed of a commercially available notebook computer, which has the same computer program installed as the program in the personal terminal 500, and is able to access the server 300.

[0150] The control unit 210 and the memory 220 are configured in the same way as the control unit 510 and the memory 520 in the personal terminal 500.

[0151] In this example, the operation unit 230 consists of a keyboard and a mouse, which input operation signals representing the user's (in this example, a doctor's) actions to the control unit 210. Alternatively, the operation unit 230 may also be composed of other operation devices such as a touch panel, which replace the keyboard and mouse, or other than a keyboard and mouse.

[0152] The display unit 240 includes a display screen (e.g., an LCD or EL display). The display unit 240 is controlled by the control unit 210 to display a specified image on the display screen.

[0153] The communication unit 290 sends information from the control unit 210 to other devices (in this example, the server 300) via the network 900. Additionally, it receives information from other devices via the network 900 and transmits it to the control unit 210.

[0154] like Figure 4 As shown, server 300 includes a control unit 310, a storage unit 320, an operation unit 330, a display unit 340, and a communication unit 390. This server 300 is a server with computer programs installed in a general-purpose computer device to perform prescribed processing.

[0155] The control unit 310 includes a CPU and its auxiliary circuits, controls each part of the server 300, and performs prescribed processing according to the program and data stored in the storage unit 320. It processes the data input from the operation unit 330 and the communication unit 390, and stores the processed data in the storage unit 320, or displays it through the display unit 340, or outputs it from the communication unit 390.

[0156] The storage unit 320 includes RAM, which serves as the working area required for the control unit 310 to execute programs, and ROM, which stores the basic program executed by the control unit 310. A database 321 containing blood pressure data sent from multiple subjects is provided in the storage unit 320. Furthermore, the storage medium used as an auxiliary storage device for the storage area of ​​the auxiliary storage unit 320 can be a disk (HD, FD), an optical disk (CD, DVD, BD), a magnetic disk (MO), or a semiconductor memory (memory card, SSD), etc.

[0157] In this example, the operation unit 330 consists of a keyboard and a mouse, and inputs operation signals representing user operations to the control unit 310. Alternatively, the operation unit 330 may also be composed of other operation devices such as a touch panel, which may replace the keyboard and mouse.

[0158] The display unit 340 includes a display screen (e.g., an LCD or EL display). The display unit 340 is controlled by the control unit 310 to display a specified image on the screen.

[0159] The communication section 390 transmits information from the control section 310 to other devices (in this example, the personal terminal 500, the hospital terminal 200) via the network 900. In addition, information from other devices is received via the network 900 and delivered to the control section 310.

[0160] As shown in FIG. 1, the sphygmomanometer 400 includes a housing 400M, a control section 410 mounted on the housing 400M, a memory 420, an operation section 430, a display section 440, a measurement section 450 as a blood pressure data acquisition section, and a communication section 490. Figure 5

[0161] The operation section 430 inputs an operation signal corresponding to the content of operation to the control section 410 according to operation of an operator on an operation device (not shown) such as an operation button, an operation key, or the like.

[0162] The measurement section 450 includes a cuff 451 for measuring blood pressure and a blood pressure measurement section 454, and acquires measurement values of systolic blood pressure (SBP) as the highest blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) as the lowest blood pressure, and pulse rate from a subject and establishes a correspondence relationship with a measurement date and time. Hereinafter, the systolic blood pressure value (SBP), the diastolic blood pressure value (DBP), the pulse rate, and the measurement date and time, and the like as blood pressure value data are collectively referred to as blood pressure correlation data.

[0163] The memory 420 stores data of a program for controlling the sphygmomanometer 400, setting data for setting various functions of the sphygmomanometer 400, data of a measurement result, and the like. In addition, the memory 420 is used as a work memory or the like when a program is executed.

[0164] The control section 410 includes a CPU, and controls the memory 420, the display section 440, and the communication section 490 based on a detection signal from the measurement section 450 according to an operation signal from the operation section 430 in accordance with a program for controlling the sphygmomanometer 400 stored in the memory 420. The control section 410 includes a schedule section, and according to the schedule section, in addition to a mode in which blood pressure is measured when a "measurement" instruction is input by the operation section 430, a mode in which blood pressure is automatically measured at one or a plurality of times scheduled in a day (referred to as a schedule mode or a nighttime measurement mode) is also executable. Here, the "time" in the "one or a plurality of times scheduled in a day" means a time in a day, i.e., a time regardless of a date. For example, the "time" in which blood pressure values are measured means, for example, 2 o'clock in the morning, 4 o'clock in the morning, or the like in the nighttime, but is not limited thereto. In addition, the "time" can include, for example, a time relatively defined as "x hours after going to bed" (for example, x = 4).

[0165] ​The display section 440 includes a display and an indicator or the like, and displays prescribed information in accordance with a control signal from the control section 410.

[0166] The communication section 490 is controlled by the control section 410, and transmits prescribed information to other devices (in this example, the server 300) via the network 900. Also, information from other devices is received via the network 900 and delivered to the control section 410. The communication via the network 900 can be either wireless or wired.

[0167] In this example, the network 900 is the Internet, but is not limited thereto, and can be another kind of network such as a hospital LAN (Local Area Network), or can be one-to-one communication using a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable or the like.

[0168] (Outline of the System's Operation)

[0169] The system 100 is used roughly as follows.

[0170] i) The examinee uses the sphygmomanometer 400 to measure his or her blood pressure automatically every day at a predetermined time or times tl, t2, t3 in a day, respectively, over multiple days, for example, at home. In this example, the time tl is 2 a.m., the time t2 is 4 hours after going to bed, and the time t3 is 4 a.m. The reason for this is that recently, blood pressure at these times tl, t2, t3 has been attracting attention in connection with cardiovascular risk. Here, "4 hours after going to bed" with respect to the time t2 means a time that is prescribed relatively 4 hours after going to bed. For example, if the examinee goes to bed at 11 p.m., 4 hours after going to bed corresponds to 3 a.m. If the examinee's bedtime varies from day to day, the time t2 also varies accordingly. At the end of each measurement, the sphygmomanometer 400 transmits blood pressure association data including the measured systolic blood pressure value (SBP), diastolic blood pressure value (DBP), pulse rate, and measurement date and time to the server 300 via the network 900.

[0171] In this example, the examinee's blood pressure measurement every day is performed sequentially over a period of one month.

[0172] ii) The server 300 receives the above-described blood pressure association data from the sphygmomanometer 400 via the communication section 390 that functions as a data input section. Then, the received blood pressure association data is distinguished with respect to the examinee, and stored in the storage section 320 (in particular, the database 321).

[0173] iii) In this example, the personal terminal 500 is operated by a user, who is the subject of the test. Specifically, the user operates the operation unit 530 to access the database 321 of the server 300 and downloads their own blood pressure correlation data for a month via the communication unit 590. The downloaded blood pressure correlation data is stored in the memory 520, which serves as the storage unit. In this example, based on the stored blood pressure correlation data, the control unit 510 of the personal terminal 500 executes the blood pressure correlation information display method described later.

[0174] iv) In this example, the hospital terminal 200 is operated by the doctor diagnosing the subject. Specifically, the doctor operates the operation unit 230 to access the database 321 of the server 300 and downloads the subject's blood pressure correlation data for one month via the communication unit 290. The downloaded blood pressure correlation data is stored in the memory 220, which serves as the storage unit. In this example, based on the stored blood pressure correlation data, the blood pressure correlation information display method described later can also be executed by the control unit 210 of the hospital terminal 200. However, in the following example, for simplicity, the user of the subject executes the blood pressure correlation information display method via the personal terminal 500.

[0175] (Method for displaying blood pressure-related information)

[0176] Figures 6A-6B The operation flow of the control unit 510 of the personal terminal 500 is shown when the user, as the subject of the above examination, performs the above-mentioned blood pressure-related information display method through the personal terminal 500.

[0177] First of all, Figure 6A In step S1, the control unit 510 receives the blood pressure correlation data of the subject over a period of one month via the communication unit 590 and stores it in the memory 520, which serves as the storage unit. As described above, the blood pressure correlation data includes systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) values, pulse rate, and the date and time of measurement, which are blood pressure value data.

[0178] Then, in Figure 6A In step S2, the control unit 510 operates as the initial display control unit, and displays on the display unit 540. Figure 7The initial screen as exemplified. In the initial screen, the date and time is set to the horizontal direction X, and the blood pressure is set to the vertical direction Y. For the horizontal direction X, the dates from March 4 to March 10 are displayed in the area (date display area) 543 along the lower edge of the display section 540. From the date display, it is known that, in the initial screen, the length of the display target period DPI is set to 7 days by default, which corresponds to a part of the one-month period in which the above-described blood pressure-related data is measured. On the other hand, for the vertical direction Y, the scale and the like indicating the blood pressure values are not particularly displayed. In the substantially center of the display section 540, the change in the blood pressure values within the display target period DPI is displayed as a bar graph GR1. The bar graph GR1 is made by connecting the SBP and the DBP at each measurement time tl, t2, t3 as vertical bars Bk, R, G, and arranging the vertical bars Bk, R, G along the horizontal direction X. Specifically, the vertical bar Bk is made by connecting the SBP at the time tl (indicated by the reference sign "D2am_SBP") and the DBP at the time tl (indicated by the reference sign "D2am_DBP"). The vertical bar R is made by connecting the SBP at the time t2 (indicated by the reference sign "Da4h_SBP") and the DBP at the time t2 (indicated by the reference sign "Da4h_DBP"). Further, the vertical bar G is made by connecting the SBP at the time t3 (indicated by the reference sign "D4am_SBP") and the DBP at the time t3 (indicated by the reference sign "D4am_DBP"). Thus, the bar graph GR1 indicates the change in the SBP and the change in the DBP within the display target period DPI.

[0179] In Figure 7 (And the examples of Figures 8 to 23 , Figure 25 , Figure 26 , Figure 28 , Figure 29 ), in order to distinguish from each other, the vertical bars Bk, R, G are respectively indicated by solid lines, double lines, and broken lines. Further, in this example, in order to distinguish from each other, the vertical bars Bk, R, G are respectively distinguished in black, red, and green. Thus, the user can easily recognize the vertical bars Bk, R, G constituting the bar graph GR2 for each of the times within the day corresponding to each vertical bar Bk, R, G in the display section 540. Note that the colors, the line types, and the thicknesses of the vertical bars Bk, R, G can be arbitrarily set.

[0180] As will be described later, the user can enlarge the display of the horizontal direction X by the pinch-out operation along the horizontal direction X on the touch panel 531, and thus the bar graph GR2 within the display target period DP2 from substantially March 6 to March 9 is displayed as shown in FIG. 6B. Figure 8 Thus, the bar graph GR2 within the display target period DP2 from substantially March 6 to March 9 is displayed. Alternatively, the user can pinch-in the operation along the horizontal direction X on the touch panel 531, and thus the bar graph GR2 within the display target period DP2 from substantially March 6 to March 9 is displayed as shown in FIG. 6C. Figure 9The horizontal X-axis of the display is reduced as shown. This displays a bar chart GR3 within DP3, covering the period from approximately March 1st to March 15th. It should be noted that... Figure 8 , Figure 9 (and what follows) Figures 10-23 , Figure 25 , Figure 26 , Figure 28 , Figure 29 In the display section 540, at the bottom, a display is shown for user instructions. Figure 7 The initial screen transition switch 542 (specific usage will be described later). During the display of objects, DP1, DP2, and DP3 are used together to represent the display of objects.

[0181] The following is an example illustrating how... Figure 8 The screen shows the process of setting up the display object DP2 and displaying the bar chart GR2 as shown.

[0182] exist Figure 8 In the display of the screen, Figure 6A In step S3, the control unit 510 determines whether to specify (touch) the positions of the vertical columns Bk, R, and G on the display unit 540 corresponding to specific times t1, t2, and t3 via the touch screen 531.

[0183] Here, as Figure 10 As illustrated by arrow A1, the user operates the touchscreen 531 to specify the position of the upper end Bku of the vertical column Bk on the display unit 540 corresponding to a specific time t1. Figure 6A (In step S3, the answer is "Yes").

[0184] Therefore, in Figure 6A In step S4, the control unit 510, acting as a first calculation unit, calculates the average blood pressure during the display period DP2 based on the specified position at a specific time t1 corresponding to the specified longitudinal column Bk. Specifically, as shown in the example above, when a position corresponding to the upper end Bku of the longitudinal column Bk is specified ( Figure 10 When arrow A1 is used to indicate the blood pressure, the average systolic blood pressure (represented by the reference numeral "SBPave") is obtained for a specific time t1. When the position corresponding to the lower end Bk1 in the longitudinal column Bk is specified, the average diastolic blood pressure (represented by the reference numeral "DBPave") is obtained for a specific time t1. Furthermore, when the position corresponding to the central part Bkm in the longitudinal column Bk is specified, the average systolic blood pressure SBPave and the average diastolic blood pressure DBPave for a specific time t1 are obtained. At this time, the control unit 510 can also calculate the average blood pressure values ​​and the standard deviation values.

[0185] Here, when the display target period is n days (n is a natural number) and the average of the systolic blood pressure at the specific time t1 is SBP1, SBP2,..., SBPn, the average of the systolic blood pressure SBPave is defined as (SBP1 + SBP2 +... + SBPn) / n (in this embodiment, the definition is extended to the case where n = 1). Similarly, when the display target period is n days (n is a natural number) and the average of the diastolic blood pressure at the specific time t1 is DBP1, DBP2,..., DBPn, the average of the diastolic blood pressure DBPave is defined as (DBP1 + DBP2 +... + DBPn) / n (in this embodiment, the definition is extended to the case where n = 1).

[0186] Note that in this example, in order to achieve ease of position specification, the "upper end portion" and the "lower end portion" of the vertical bars Bk, R, and G are not limited to the upper end and the lower end (the respective end points) themselves, but include a certain range from the upper end and the lower end, respectively (for example, a range of about 10% of the entire length of the vertical bars Bk, R, and G). The "central portion" of the vertical bars Bk, R, and G refers to a portion other than the "upper end portion" and the "lower end portion" in the entire length of the vertical bars Bk, R, and G.

[0187] Then, in step S5 of the process of FIG. 7, the control section 510 functions as a first display control section and displays the average of the systolic blood pressure SBPave and / or the average of the diastolic blood pressure DBPave obtained at the specific time t1 together with the bar chart GR2 in the display section 540. As shown in the above example, in the case where the average of the systolic blood pressure SBPave is obtained, the average of the systolic blood pressure SBPave is displayed together with the bar chart GR2, for example, in a pop-up display in the display section 540, as shown in FIG. 8A. Figure 6A Figure 11 Figure 11

[0188] "Average of SBP at 2 o'clock in the afternoon

[0189] 143 mmHg".

[0190] Thus, the user can accurately know the average of the systolic blood pressure SBPave. This pop-up display lasts for a prescribed period, for example, 5 seconds, and then automatically disappears. In this display, when a prescribed position, for example, any position in the pop-up display portion, is touched, the pop-up display does not automatically disappear, but continues to be displayed, and disappears when the same position is touched again.

[0191] ​​​Meanwhile, the control section 510 functions as a first display control section, and in the display section 540, the systolic blood pressure average value SBPave is pop-up displayed as a horizontal bar LV1 overlapping the bar graph GR2 on the graph. Thus, the user can intuitively grasp in which position the systolic blood pressure average value SBPave is located with respect to the bar graph GR2.

[0192] In addition, the control section 510 functions as a first display control section, and in the display section 540, in this example, the change in the pulse rate within the display target period DP2 is pop-up displayed as a line graph GR4 along the lower side of the bar graph GR2. Meanwhile, in this example, in the area 544 along the lower side of the line graph GR4, the average value of the pulse rate within the display target period DP2 is pop-up displayed as a numerical value as:

[0193] "average value of pulse rate

[0194] 65.7 bpm".

[0195] Here, the pulse rate indicates the quietness of the subject at the time of blood pressure measurement (the degree of being in a quiet state or in a motion state). From these displays, the user can intuitively judge whether or not the change in the blood pressure value within the display target period DP2 represented by the bar graph GR2 is caused by the quietness of the subject.

[0196] However, the horizontal bar LV1 representing the systolic blood pressure average value SBPave and the line graph GR4 representing the change in the pulse rate are not necessarily displayed contents, and correspond to additional display contents. For example, on the screen of Figure 10 , the user can also display these horizontal bars LV1 and line graph GR4 by pop-up displaying them as a condition by long pressing (described later) the position on the display section 540 corresponding to the upper end portion Bku in the vertical column Bk of the specific time tl instead of the usual position designation (short pressing). Thus, the user can increase the amount of displayed information by operating in accordance with his or her natural feeling.

[0197] Note that in the step S3 of Figure 6A , in the case where the position of the lower end portion Bk1 in the vertical column Bk corresponding to the specific time tl is designated (refer to Figure 10 ), in the step S4 of Figure 6A , the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPave with respect to the specific time tl is calculated. Also, in the step S5 of Figure 6AIn step S5, the obtained diastolic blood pressure average value DBPave is displayed as a digital value in the area below the bar chart GR2 within the display unit 540, along with the bar chart GR2. Simultaneously, the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPave is displayed as a horizontal bar (not shown) overlapping with the bar chart GR2.

[0198] In addition, Figure 6A In step S3, the central portion Bkm of the longitudinal column Bk at a specified time t1 (refer to...) Figure 10 In the case of ) position, Figure 6A In step S4, the average systolic blood pressure SBPave and the average diastolic blood pressure DBPave for a specific time t1 are calculated. Furthermore, in Figure 6A In step S5, along with the bar chart GR2, the obtained average systolic blood pressure SBPave and average diastolic blood pressure DBPave are displayed numerically in the areas above and below the bar chart GR2 within the display unit 540. Simultaneously, the average systolic blood pressure SBPave and average diastolic blood pressure DBPave are displayed as horizontal bars (not shown) overlapping with the bar chart GR2.

[0199] As described above, according to the system 100 (especially the personal terminal 500), the average blood pressure (systolic blood pressure average SBPave and / or diastolic blood pressure average DBPave) over multiple days (the display period DP2) related to a specific time t1 can be displayed on the display unit 540 through a simple operation (i.e., a single touch operation by which the user specifies the position of the longitudinal column Bk corresponding to a specific time t1 on the display unit 540 via the touch screen 531). Here, the upper end Bku of the longitudinal column Bk represents SBP, and the lower end Bk1 represents DBP. Therefore, if the user specifies a portion representing the blood pressure value corresponding to the average blood pressure value to be displayed in the longitudinal column Bk ( Figure 10 The upper part (Bku), lower part (Bk1), or central part (Bkm) shown in the diagram can pop up and display the average blood pressure value to be displayed (systolic average blood pressure SBPave, diastolic average blood pressure DBPave, or both systolic average blood pressure SBPave and diastolic average blood pressure DBPave). That is, the user can pop up and display the average blood pressure value according to their own natural feeling.

[0200] In the above example, a case where the blood pressure average value in the display object period DP2 for the time tl of the times tl, t2, t3 at which the blood pressure was measured is displayed is explained, but it is not limited thereto. For the times t2, t3 as well, the blood pressure average value in the multiple days (display object period DP2) for the specific times t2, t3 can be pop-up displayed in the display section 540 by a simple operation (i.e., a single touch operation by which the user specifies the position of the vertical column R, G corresponding to the specific time in the display section 540 by the touch screen 531).

[0201] (First Modification: Case where Upper End Portion and Lower End Portion of Vertical Column are Continuously Specified)

[0202] Figure 12 The manner in which, after the position of the upper end portion Bku in the vertical column Bk corresponding to the specific time tl is specified as described above on the screen of Figure 10 , the position of the lower end portion Bkl in the vertical column Bk is continuously specified is schematically shown.

[0203] Specifically, after the user operates the touch screen 531 to specify the position of the upper end portion Bku in the vertical column Bk corresponding to the specific time tl, as Figure 12 schematically shown by the arrow A2 in the screen of , the position of the lower end portion Bkl in the vertical column Bk is continuously specified. The "continuously specified" means a specification that can be regarded as a specification substantially associated with the previous specification, such as a specification within a predetermined period (5 seconds) or within 1 second, for example, as described above.

[0204] Then, the control section 510 functions as a first display control section and, as shown in Figure 13 , in the display section 540, in addition to the systolic blood pressure average value SBPave corresponding to the upper end portion Bku for the specific time tl, the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPave corresponding to the lower end portion Bkl for the specific time tl is also displayed. In the example of Figure 13 , in the display section 540, in the area 546 apart downward from the column chart GR2, the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPave is pop-up displayed as a numerical value as:

[0205] "DBP average value at 2:00 AM

[0206] 86 mmHg".

[0207] Thus, the user can accurately know the systolic blood pressure average value SBPave and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPave.

[0208] It should be noted that, conversely, if the position of the lower end Bk1 in the longitudinal column Bk corresponding to a specific time t1 is specified first, and then the position of the upper end Bku in the same longitudinal column Bk is specified continuously, in addition to the average diastolic blood pressure DBPave corresponding to the lower end Bk1 at a specific time t1, the average systolic blood pressure SBPave corresponding to the upper end Bku at the specific time t1 will also be displayed.

[0209] As described above, in this variation 1, after specifying the position of either the upper end Bku or the lower end Bk1 of the longitudinal column Bk on the display unit 540 corresponding to a specific time t1 via the touchscreen 531, when the position of the other end of the longitudinal column Bk is continuously specified via the touchscreen 531, the control unit 510 operates as a first display control unit. In the display unit 540, in addition to displaying the average blood pressure value corresponding to the aforementioned one end at the specific time t1, the average blood pressure value corresponding to the aforementioned other end at the same specific time t1 is also displayed. Therefore, the user can display the average blood pressure values ​​(here, the systolic blood pressure value SBPave and the diastolic blood pressure value DBPave at the specific time t1) by operating according to their own natural sense of touch. This variation 1 is also applicable to times t2 and t3.

[0210] (Variation Example 2: The case where the upper end of a longitudinal column is specified continuously along with the upper end of other longitudinal columns)

[0211] Figure 14 It schematically shows that in Figure 10 After specifying the position of the upper end Bku of the longitudinal column Bk at a specific time t1 on the screen as described above, the position corresponding to another time is continuously specified. Figure 14 In the example, the position of the same part (i.e., the upper end Ru) in the longitudinal column R at time t2 is shown.

[0212] Specifically, after the user operates the touchscreen 531 to specify the position of the upper end Bku of the longitudinal column Bk at a specific time t1, as follows: Figure 14 As illustrated by arrow A3, the position of the upper end Ru in the longitudinal column R corresponding to time t2 is continuously specified.

[0213] Therefore, the control unit 510 operates as the first display control unit, such as... Figure 15 As shown, in the display unit 540, in addition to the average systolic blood pressure SBPave corresponding to the upper end Bku with respect to a specific time t1 (displayed in area 547 moving to the upper right from the bar chart GR2), the average systolic blood pressure SBPave corresponding to the upper end Ru with respect to time t2 is also displayed. Figure 15 In the example, in the area 547 of the display unit 540, moving to the upper right from the bar chart GR2, the average systolic blood pressure SBPave with respect to time t1 is displayed as a numerical value:

[0214] Average SBP at 2 AM

[0215] 149 mmHg.

[0216] In addition, in the display unit 540, in the area 548 moving to the upper left from the bar chart GR2, the average systolic blood pressure SBPave with respect to time t2 is displayed as a numerical value:

[0217] "Average SBP after 4 hours"

[0218] 149 mmHg.

[0219] Thus, users can use their natural sense of touch to pop up and display the average systolic blood pressure SBPave for two times t1 and t2.

[0220] It should be noted that, according to Figure 15 It can be seen that when the position of the lower end Bk1 in the longitudinal column Bk corresponding to a specific time t1 is first specified, and then the position of the lower end R1 in the longitudinal column R corresponding to time t2 is continuously specified, the display unit 540 displays, in addition to the diastolic blood pressure average DBPave corresponding to the lower end Bk1 at the specific time t1, also displays the diastolic blood pressure average DBPave corresponding to the lower end R1 at time t2. Furthermore, when the position of the central portion Bkm in the longitudinal column Bk corresponding to a specific time t1 is first specified, and then the position of the central portion Rm in the longitudinal column R corresponding to time t2 is continuously specified, the display unit 540 displays, in addition to the systolic blood pressure average SBPave and diastolic blood pressure average DBPave corresponding to the central portion Bkm at the specific time t1, also displays the systolic blood pressure average SBPave and diastolic blood pressure average DBPave corresponding to the lower end R1 at time t2.

[0221] Figure 16 It schematically shows that in Figure 10 As described above, the position of the upper end Bku of the vertical column Bk at a specific time t1 is specified on the screen, and then the position corresponding to another time is specified continuously. Figure 16 In the example, the same part (i.e., the upper end Gu) in the longitudinal column G at time t3 is positioned in this way.

[0222] Specifically, after the user operates the touch screen 531 to specify the position of the upper end portion Bku in the longitudinal column Bk that corresponds to a certain time t1, as shown by an arrow A4, the position of the upper end portion Gu in the longitudinal column G that corresponds to the time t3 is continuously specified. Figure 16

[0223] Then, the control section 510 functions as a first display control section, and as shown in Figure 17 Figure 17 In the example of FIG. 6, in the area 547 that departs upward and to the right from the histogram GR2 in the display section 540, the systolic blood pressure average SBPave is displayed as a numerical value as:

[0224] "SBP average at 2 AM

[0225] 143 mmHg".

[0226] In addition, in the area 549 that departs upward and to the left from the histogram GR2 in the display section 540, the systolic blood pressure average SBPave is displayed as a numerical value as:

[0227] "SBP average at 4 AM

[0228] 149 mmHg".

[0229] Thus, the user is able to display the systolic blood pressure averages SBPave for the two times t1, t3 by operating in accordance with his or her natural sense.

[0230] Note that, according to the above-described embodiment, the user is able to specify the position of the upper end portion Gu in the longitudinal column G that corresponds to the time t3 by operating the touch screen 531 in accordance with his or her natural sense. Figure 17 ​​It can be seen that when the position of the lower end Bk1 in the longitudinal column Bk corresponding to a specific time t1 is first specified, and then the position of the lower end G1 in the longitudinal column G corresponding to time t3 is continuously specified, the display unit 540 displays, in addition to the diastolic blood pressure average DBPave corresponding to the lower end Bk1 at the specific time t1, also displays the diastolic blood pressure average DBPave corresponding to the lower end G1 at time t3. Furthermore, when the position of the central portion Bkm in the longitudinal column Bk corresponding to a specific time t1 is first specified, and then the position of the central portion Gm in the longitudinal column G corresponding to time t3 is continuously specified, the display unit 540 displays, in addition to the systolic blood pressure average SBPave and diastolic blood pressure average DBPave corresponding to the central portion Bkm at the specific time t1, also displays the systolic blood pressure average SBPave and diastolic blood pressure average DBPave corresponding to the lower end Gm at time t3.

[0231] This variation 2 applies not only to the case where the specified order is from time t1 to time t2, t3, but also to the cases from time t2 to time t3, t1 and from time t3 to time t1, t2.

[0232] Additionally, return to Figure 6A In the display unit 540, the positions of the vertical bars Bk, R, and G corresponding to the histogram GR2 are not specified (in step S3, this is "No"), but the area that moves away from the histogram GR2 upwards or downwards is specified (in step S6, this is "Yes").

[0233] For example, Figure 18 It schematically shows that in Figure 6A Step S6 specifies the method of moving upwards from the histogram GR2. Specifically, the user operates the touchscreen 531, such as... Figure 18 The double arrows A5 and A5′ are used to illustrate that specifying (double-clicking) the position corresponding to the area moving upwards from the bar chart GR2 is done in succession.

[0234] Therefore, in Figure 6A In step S7, the control unit 510 operates as a second calculation unit, combining multiple times t1, t2, and t3 and averaging the SBP data stored in the memory 520 during the display period DP2, thereby obtaining the average systolic blood pressure value combining multiple times t1, t2, and t3 (represented by the reference numeral "SBPave'").

[0235] Next, in Figure 6A In step S8, the control unit 510 operates as a second display control unit, such as... Figure 19As shown, in the display unit 540, the average systolic blood pressure SBPave′, obtained by combining multiple time points t1, t2, and t3, is displayed together with the bar chart GR2. Figure 19 In the example, in the area 550 where the bar chart moves upward from GR2 within the display unit 540, the average systolic blood pressure SBPave′, obtained by combining multiple times t1, t2, and t3, is displayed as a digital value:

[0236] "Average of all SBPs"

[0237] 139 mmHg.

[0238] on the other hand, Figure 20 It schematically shows that in Figure 6A Step S6 specifies the manner in which the position moves downwards from the histogram GR2. Specifically, the user operates the touchscreen 531, such as... Figure 20 The double arrows A6 and A6′ are used to illustrate that specifying (double-clicking) the position corresponding to the area moving downwards from the bar chart GR2 is done in succession.

[0239] Therefore, in Figure 6A In step S7, the control unit 510 operates as a second calculation unit, combining multiple times t1, t2, and t3 and averaging the DBP data stored in the memory 520 during the display period DP2, thereby obtaining the average diastolic blood pressure (denoted by the reference numeral "DBPave'") by combining multiple times t1, t2, and t3.

[0240] Next, in Figure 6A In step S8, the control unit 510 operates as a second display control unit, such as... Figure 21 As shown, in the display unit 540, the average diastolic blood pressure DBPave′, obtained by combining multiple time points t1, t2, and t3, is displayed together with the bar chart GR2. Figure 21 In the example, in the area 551 of the display unit 540, which moves downwards from the bar chart GR2, the average diastolic blood pressure DBPave′ obtained by combining multiple times t1, t2, and t3 is displayed as a digital value:

[0241] "Average of all DBPs"

[0242] 94 mmHg.

[0243] As described above, according to the system 100 (in particular, the personal terminal 500), the average blood pressure during the display period DP2, which combines the time points t1, t2, and t3, can be displayed on the display unit 540 by a simple operation (i.e., the user specifies the area 550 moving upwards or downwards from the bar chart GR2 on the display unit 540 via the touch screen 531).

[0244] Then, in Figure 6B In step S9, the control unit 510 determines whether a pinch-and-release or pinch-and / or slide operation is performed on the display unit 540 via the touchscreen 531 along the horizontal X direction. Here, when a pinch-and-release or pinch-and-release operation is performed on the touchscreen 531 along the horizontal X direction ( Figure 6B In step S9, if "Yes" is selected, the control unit 510, acting as the initial display control unit, operates to enlarge or reduce the horizontal X-axis display of the display unit 540 during the period of changing the displayed object. Figure 6B Step S10). Instead, or simultaneously, when performing a horizontal X-slide operation on the touchscreen 531 ( Figure 6B In step S9, if "Yes" is selected, the control unit 510 moves the displayed object during the process. Figure 6B Step S10). Then, return to Figure 6A In step S2, the control unit 510 acts as the initial display control unit, displaying the screen corresponding to the changed display object on the display unit 540. Therefore, the user can perform simple operations (i.e., pinch-to-release or pinch-to-zoom and / or swipe operations) such as... Figures 7-9 The display period changes in real time as shown. When a pinch or zoom operation is performed during the pop-up display period, the display period DP2 is changed (shortened or lengthened), and information such as the average value within the changed period is immediately calculated. The calculated result is immediately reflected in the pop-up display, and the average value shown in the pop-up display is updated instantly.

[0245] In addition, Figure 6B In step S9, when the pinching, releasing, contracting, and / or sliding operations described above are not performed ( Figure 6B In step S9, if the value is "No", the control unit 510 determines whether the initial screen switching switch 542 is turned on via the touch screen 531 in the display unit 540. Figure 6B Step S11). Here, when the initial screen switching switch 542 is turned on via the touch screen 531 in the display unit 540, the control unit 510, acting as the initial display control unit, returns the display object period to the default period, i.e. Figure 7 The display object shown is DP1 ( Figure 6B Step S12). Then, return to Figure 6AIn step S2, the control unit 510, acting as the initial display control unit, operates to display again on the display unit 540. Figure 7 The initial screen.

[0246] It should be noted that, in Figure 6B If no operation is performed in step S11 (the value in step S11 is "No"), the control unit 510 returns to step S9 to wait for some operation.

[0247] (Variation Example 3: Increasing the amount of information displayed by long-pressing)

[0248] In this variation 3, in Figure 6A In step S3, when a specific position on the display unit 540 is pressed and held by the touch screen 531, the control unit 510 acts as the first display control unit, increasing the amount of information displayed on the display unit 540 along with the bar chart GR2 compared to the amount of information displayed by a normal position designation (short press). It should be noted that "press and hold" refers to a continuous, fixed-time period (e.g., 3 seconds or more) specified by the touch screen 531.

[0249] As an example, in Figure 10 On the screen, when the user operates the touchscreen 531, such as Figure 22 A long arrow A7 schematically indicates that a long press on the display unit 540, corresponding to the position of the upper end Bku of the longitudinal column Bk at a specific time t1, is used instead of a short press. Thus, the control unit 510 operates as the first display control unit, and in this example, the standard deviation value, along with the systolic blood pressure average SBPave, pops up and displays along the upper region 559 within the display unit 540. Figure 22 In the example, the mean systolic blood pressure SBPave and standard deviation are displayed as numerical values:

[0250] The average SBP at 2 AM was 143 mmHg.

[0251] Standard deviation: ±26 mmHg.

[0252] As another example, in Figure 18 On the screen, when the user operates the touchscreen 531, such as Figure 23As illustrated by short arrows A8 and long arrows A8′, a short press followed by a long press corresponds to the area within the display unit 540 that moves upwards from the histogram GR2, replacing two consecutive short presses (double-clicks). Thus, the control unit 510, acting as the first display control unit, operates, and in this example, displays the average systolic blood pressure SBPave′ and the average diastolic blood pressure DBPave′, respectively, representing the sum of multiple time points t1, t2, and t3, in areas 560 and 561 moving upwards and downwards from the histogram GR2 within the display unit 540. Figure 23 In the example, within the display unit 540, along the upper and lower areas 560 and 561, the average systolic blood pressure SBPave′ and the average diastolic blood pressure DBPave′ are displayed as numerical values:

[0253] "Average of all SBPs"

[0254] 139mmHg

[0255] "Average of all DBPs"

[0256] 94 mmHg.

[0257] In addition, Figure 23 In this example, a line graph GR5 is displayed below the bar graph GR2 within the display unit 540, showing the changes in the subject's weight during the display period DP2 (Y″ represents the weight-related axis). Furthermore, in the area 562 below the line graph GR5, the average weight of the subject during the display period DP2 is displayed as a numerical value:

[0258] Average weight

[0259] 62.4 kg.

[0260] It should be noted that the subject's weight data is in Figure 6A In step S1, the blood pressure-related data is received, or manually input via the operation unit 530, or input via voice recognition using the voice analysis and recognition unit 580, and thus pre-stored in the memory 520.

[0261] In the manner described above, users can increase the amount of information displayed by long-pressing the touchscreen 531. Therefore, users can increase the amount of information displayed by operating according to their own natural sense of touch.

[0262] It should be noted that this variation 3 can also be applied in the case where the area where a short press and then a long press are performed is in the area of ​​the display section 540 that moves downward from the bar chart GR2 (but is higher than the date display area 543).

[0263] (Alteration 4: Case where blood pressure averages of first half and second half of display target period are displayed by long pressing)

[0264] In this alteration 4, as another way of increasing the amount of information displayed, an example in which blood pressure averages of the first half and the second half of the display target period DP2 are displayed is explained when the position of the longitudinal column corresponding to the specific time is long pressed on the display section 540 by the touch panel 531.

[0265] Figure 24 The steps (steps S3A to S5A) performed instead of the steps S3 to S5 of the flow of actions when the position of the longitudinal column Bk, R, or G corresponding to the specific time is long pressed in the display section 540 of the personal terminal 500, particularly the steps S3 to S5 of the flow of actions of the alteration 3 are shown. Figure 6A

[0266] In this alteration 4, after the steps S1 and S2 of the flow of actions of the alteration 3, in the step S3A of the flow of actions of the alteration 3, the control section 510 determines whether the position of the longitudinal column Bk, R, or G corresponding to the specific time is long pressed on the display section 540 by the touch panel 531. In this example, the user operates the touch panel 531 as schematically shown by the long arrow A9 in the display section 540 in the alteration 3 so as to long press the position of the central part Gm in the longitudinal column G corresponding to the specific time t3. Instead of long pressing, it is also possible to scan from the position corresponding to the central part Gm to the left direction (the direction covering the first half of the display target period DP2). Figure 6A Figure 24 Figure 25 In this example, the user operates the touch panel 531 as schematically shown by the long arrow A9 in the display section 540 in the alteration 3 so as to long press the position of the central part Gm in the longitudinal column G corresponding to the specific time t3. Instead of long pressing, it is also possible to scan from the position corresponding to the central part Gm to the left direction (the direction covering the first half of the display target period DP2).

[0267] Thus, in the step S4A of the flow of actions of the alteration 3, the control section 510 acts as the first operation section to obtain the systolic blood pressure average (indicated by the reference sign "SBPaveF") and the diastolic blood pressure average (indicated by the reference sign "DBPaveF") of the first half of the display target period DP2 with respect to the specific time t3, and to obtain the systolic blood pressure average (indicated by the reference sign "SBPaveS") and the diastolic blood pressure average (indicated by the reference sign "DBPaveS") of the second half of the display target period DP2 with respect to the specific time t3. Figure 24

[0268] Next, in the step S5A of the flow of actions of the alteration 3, the control section 510 acts as the first display control section to display the systolic blood pressure average (indicated by the reference sign "SBPaveF") and the diastolic blood pressure average (indicated by the reference sign "DBPaveF") of the first half of the display target period DP2 with respect to the specific time t3, and to display the systolic blood pressure average (indicated by the reference sign "SBPaveS") and the diastolic blood pressure average (indicated by the reference sign "DBPaveS") of the second half of the display target period DP2 with respect to the specific time t3, as shown in the display section 540 of the personal terminal 500 in the alteration 3. Figure 24 Figure 26 ​​​​​The systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveF and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveF of the first half of the display target period DP2 at the specific time t3, and the systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveS and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveS of the second half of the display target period DP2 at the specific time t3 are displayed in the display section 540 as shown in the figure. Figure 26 In the example shown in the figure, in the display section 540, the area 552, 554 which departs from the column chart GR2 upward left and downward left, the systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveF and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveF of the first half of the display target period DP2 at the specific time t3 are displayed as numerical values as shown in the figure.

[0269] "4:00 AM of the first half

[0270] SBP average value

[0271] 142 mmHg",

[0272] "4:00 AM of the first half

[0273] DBP average value

[0274] 82 mmHg".

[0275] In addition, in the display section 540, the area 553, 555 which departs from the column chart GR2 upward right and downward right, the systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveS and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveS of the second half of the display target period DP2 at the specific time t3 are displayed as numerical values as shown in the figure.

[0276] "4:00 AM of the second half

[0277] SBP average value

[0278] 141 mmHg",

[0279] "4:00 AM of the second half

[0280] DBP average value

[0281] 80 mmHg".

[0282] Thus, if the user long-presses (or scans) the vertical column G of the specific time t3, the systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveF, SBPaveS and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveF, DBPaveS at the specific time t3 can be known by displaying them as numerical values for the first half and the second half of the display target period DP2 respectively by a simple operation.

[0283] Note that, according to the above-described embodiment, the systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveF, SBPaveS and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveF, DBPaveS at the specific time t3 can be known by displaying them as numerical values for the first half and the second half of the display target period DP2 respectively by a simple operation. Figure 26As can be seen, when the position of the upper end portion Gu in the longitudinal column G corresponding to the specific time t3 is long-pressed (or scanned), the control section 510 obtains only the systolic blood pressure average values SBPaveF, SBPaveS with respect to the specific time t3 for the former half and the latter half of the display target period DP2, and displays them in pop-up on the display section 540. In addition, when the position of the lower end portion Gl in the longitudinal column G corresponding to the specific time t3 is long-pressed (or scanned), the control section 510 obtains only the diastolic blood pressure average values DBPaveF, DBPaveS with respect to the specific time t3 for the former half and the latter half of the display target period DP2, and displays them in pop-up on the display section 540.

[0284] In addition, in the case where the long-pressed (or scanned) position is the longitudinal column Bk, R, G corresponding to the times t1, t2, this modified example 4 can also be applied similarly, respectively.

[0285] (Modified example 5: case where a marker indicating an event is specified and a longitudinal column is specified)

[0286] In this modified example 5, in the step S2 in Figure 6A , as another initial screen in the display section 540, an example is explained in which the markers M1, M2, M3 indicating events occurring each day of the examinee are displayed in the area 556 along the lower side of the date display area 543 in the form of a column chart GR2, as shown in Figure 28 . Here, the marker M1 composed of the symbols of a fork and a knife indicates that the examinee went out to eat as an event. The marker M2 composed of the symbol of a stethoscope indicates that the examinee visited a doctor as an event. The marker M3 composed of the symbols of a medicine bottle and a tablet indicates that the examinee took medicine as an event. In this example, the marker M1 indicating going out to eat is displayed only on one day (March 6), the marker M2 indicating visiting a doctor is displayed only on one day (March 7), and in addition, the marker M3 indicating taking medicine is displayed on two days (March 8 and March 9), respectively. Thus, in this example, it can be seen that the examinee went out to eat on March 6, visited a doctor on March 7, and took medicine on March 8 and March 9, respectively. Note that in the column chart GR2 in Figure 28 , it can be seen that the blood pressure values on the dates (March 8 and March 9) on which the examinee took medicine are lower than the blood pressure values on the remaining days (March 6 and March 7) in the positions of the longitudinal columns Bk, R, G associated with the longitudinal Y.

[0287] The events that occur every day of the examinee are manually inputted through the operation section 530, or are inputted through voice recognition using the voice analysis recognition section 580, and / or are judged from the position data of the personal terminal 500 generated by the GPS section 570 (for example, when the examinee carrying the personal terminal 500 stays at a restaurant, a hospital, or the like outside his own house for 30 minutes or more, it is judged that an event of eating out, visiting a doctor, or the like has occurred, respectively), and are thus stored in advance in the storage 520.

[0288] Figure 27 The steps (steps S3B to S5B) are executed when the mark indicating the event and the position of the longitudinal column corresponding to the specific time are specified in the display section 540 of the personal terminal 500, and in particular, steps S3 to S5 of the action flow of Figure 6A

[0289] In this modification example 5, after the steps S1, S2 of Figure 6A Figure 27 In the step S3B of Figure 28 , the control section 510 judges whether or not the mark indicating the event and the position of the longitudinal column Bk, R, or G corresponding to the specific time are specified on the display section 540 by the touch panel 531. In this example, when the user operates the touch panel 531, as schematically indicated by an arrow A10-2, the mark M3 indicating the event of taking medicine (either one of the marks M3 displayed for two days) is specified as the specific event, and as schematically indicated by an arrow A10-1, the position of the upper end portion Bku in the longitudinal column Bk corresponding to the specific time tl on the display section 540 is specified.

[0290] Then, in the step S4B of Figure 27 , the control section 510 functions as the first arithmetic section, and obtains the average value of the systolic blood pressure (which is indicated by a reference sign "SBPaveE") with respect to the specific time tl in the specific event occurrence day (March 8 and March 9 in this example) in which the event of taking medicine has occurred (step S4B(a)). At the same time, the control section 510 functions as the first arithmetic section, and obtains the average value of the systolic blood pressure (which is indicated by a reference sign "SBPaveR") with respect to the specific time tl in the remaining days (March 6 and March 7 in this example) obtained by removing the specific event occurrence day from the display target period DP2 (step S4B(b)).

[0291] ​​Here, in the case where the systolic blood pressure value at the specific time tl on the specific event occurrence day is SBPlE, SBP2E,..., SBPmE (m is a natural number equal to or smaller than n) in the display target period DP2 (n is a natural number, n days), the average value SBPaveE of the systolic blood pressure at the specific time tl on the specific event occurrence day is defined as (SBPlE + SBP2E +... + SBPmE) / m (in this embodiment, the definition is extended to the case where m = 1). Similarly, in the case where the systolic blood pressure value at the specific time tl on the remaining days is SBPlR, SBP2R,..., SBPkR (k is a natural number equal to n - m) in the display target period DP2 (n is a natural number, n days), the average value SBPaveR of the systolic blood pressure at the specific time tl on the remaining days is defined as (SBPlR + SBP2R +... + SBPkR) / k (in this embodiment, the definition is extended to the case where k = 1). Note that in the case where k = 0, since there are no remaining days, the average value SBPaveR of the systolic blood pressure is not calculated and is not displayed.

[0292] Next, in step S5B of the process of FIG. 5B, the control section 510 acts as a first display control section, and as shown in FIG. 5B, the average value SBPaveE of the systolic blood pressure at the specific time tl on the specific event occurrence day and the average value SBPaveR of the systolic blood pressure at the specific time tl on the remaining days are displayed in the display section 540 together with the bar chart GR2 (steps S5B(a), (b)). Figure 27 Figure 29 Figure 29 In the example of FIG. 5B, in the display section 540, the average value SBPaveE of the systolic blood pressure at the specific time tl on the specific event occurrence day and the average value SBPaveR of the systolic blood pressure at the specific time tl on the remaining days are respectively displayed as numerical values in the regions 557, 558 which are separated from the bar chart GR2 in the upper left and upper right directions (steps S5B(a), (b)).

[0293] "2:00 AM on the medication day

[0294] SBP average value 138 mmHg",

[0295] "2:00 AM on the day other than the medication day

[0296] SBP average value 142 mmHg".

[0297] ​​Thus, the user can display the systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveE with respect to the specific time tl in the specific event occurrence day and the systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveR with respect to the specific time tl in the remaining days in the display section 540 by a simple operation, and know by comparison. Here, when pinch-in and pinch-out are performed, the display object period DP is changed, and accordingly, the calculation result also changes, and the changed calculation result is reflected on the pop-up display.

[0298] The date displayed at the leftmost side of the display object period DP (March 6 in the case of Figure 11 ) is called the front end day, and the date displayed at the rightmost side of the display object period DP (March 9 in the case of Figure 11 ) is called the terminal end day. When pinch-in is performed with two fingers, the user fixes the left finger, and slides the right finger in the left direction on the screen, the front end day is fixed, the terminal end day is moved in the left direction, and more days are included in the display object period DP. In addition, the user fixes the right finger, and slides the left finger in the right direction on the screen, the terminal end day is fixed, the front end day is moved in the right direction, and more days are included in the display object period DP. Further, the user simultaneously slides both fingers in the direction of approaching each other, the front end day is moved in the right direction, the terminal end day is moved in the left direction, and more days are included in the display object period DP. Conversely, in the case of pinch-out, the user can also perform the operation of fixing the front end day and moving only the terminal end day, fixing the terminal end day and moving only the front end day, or moving both the front end day and the terminal end day. For example, in the case of Figure 11 , when the user performs the pinch-in operation of fixing the front end day and moving only the terminal end day, the 3rd day, the 4th day, the 5th day,... are sequentially included in the display object period DP from the fixed March 6, and in correspondence thereto, the systolic blood pressure average value SBPave shown in the region 545 also sequentially changes like the average value of 3 days, the average value of 4 days, the average value of 5 days,.... Here, when treatment (administration, surgery, etc.) is performed on March 6, the user can easily find the date on which the average value change is observed, that is, the date on which the effect of the treatment is exhibited. The daily change of the blood pressure value is determined by the daily living environment, and the change of the blood pressure average value strongly reflects the change of the human body.

[0299] Instead of the pinch-in and pinch-out with one-side fixation by two fingers, pinch-in buttons 604, 612 and pinch-out buttons 602, 614 can be provided. In this example, the pinch-in button 604 is constituted by a thick-line arrow pointing left displayed along the bar chart GR2 near the right end of the display screen. The pinch-in button 612 is constituted by a thick-line arrow pointing right displayed along the bar chart GR2 near the left end of the display screen. The pinch-out button 602 is constituted by a thick-line arrow pointing right displayed along the bar chart GR2 near the right end of the display screen. In addition, the pinch-out button 614 is constituted by a thick-line arrow pointing left displayed along the bar chart GR2 near the left end of the display screen. When the user presses the pinch-out button 602, the terminal day is fixed and the head day is moved to the right, and fewer days are displayed. When the user presses the pinch-in button 604, the head day is fixed and the terminal day is moved to the left, and more days are displayed. When the user presses the pinch-out button 614, the head day is fixed and the terminal day is moved to the left, and fewer days are displayed. When the user presses the pinch-in button 612, the terminal day is fixed and the head day is moved to the right, and more days are displayed. Thus, the user can easily increase or decrease the number of days.

[0300] Meanwhile, the control section 510 acts as the first display control section, and in the display section 540, the average systolic blood pressure value SBPaveE obtained for the specific time tl in the specific event occurrence day and the average systolic blood pressure value SBPaveR obtained for the specific time tl in the remaining days are respectively pop-up displayed as horizontal bars LV2E, LV2R overlapping the bar chart GR2 on the graph. On the horizontal bar LV2E, a mark M3 constituted by symbols of a medicine bottle and a tablet is labeled as a mark M3' displayed in a dialog box. Thus, the user can intuitively grasp in which position each of the average systolic blood pressure values SBPaveE, SBPaveR is located with respect to the bar chart GR2. In this example, the horizontal bar LV2E for the specific event occurrence day on which the medicine taking event has occurred is displayed at a lower position than the horizontal bar LV2R for the remaining days. Therefore, the user can grasp that the difference in height between the horizontal bar LV2E and the horizontal bar LV2R corresponds to the effect of the medicine taking.

[0301] Note that in the step S3B, when the mark M3 indicating the event is specified and a position corresponding to the lower end portion Bkl of the vertical bar Bk for the specific time tl (refer to FIG. 6B) is specified, in the step S3B, the control section 510 displays the average systolic blood pressure value SBPaveE obtained for the specific time tl in the specific event occurrence day and the average systolic blood pressure value SBPaveR obtained for the specific time tl in the remaining days as horizontal bars LV2E, LV2R overlapping the bar chart GR2 on the graph. Figure 27 Figure 28 ) is specified, in the step S3B, the control section 510 displays the average systolic blood pressure value SBPaveE obtained for the specific time tl in the specific event occurrence day and the average systolic blood pressure value SBPaveR obtained for the specific time tl in the remaining days as horizontal bars LV2E, LV2R overlapping the bar chart GR2 on the graph. Figure 27 ​In step S4B, the control section 510 functions as a first operation section to obtain the diastolic blood pressure average value (indicated by reference character "DBPaveE") for the specific time t1 in the specific event occurrence day (in this example, March 8 and March 9) and the diastolic blood pressure average value (indicated by reference character "DBPaveR") for the specific time t1 in the remaining days (in this example, March 6 and March 7) obtained by removing the specific event occurrence day from the display target period DP2. Also, in Figure 27 In step S5B, the control section 510 functions as a first display control section to pop up in the display section 540 the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveE obtained for the specific time t1 in the specific event occurrence day and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveR obtained for the specific time t1 in the remaining days.

[0302] Here, in the case where the specific event occurrence day is m days within the above display target period (n days) and the diastolic blood pressure value for the specific time t1 in the specific event occurrence day is DBP1E, DBP2E,..., DBPmE, the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveE for the specific time t1 in the specific event occurrence day is defined as (DBP1E + DBP2E +... + DBPmE) / m (in this embodiment, this definition is extended to the case where m = 1). Also, in the case where the above remaining days are k days (let k = n - m) within the above display target period DP2 (let n be a natural number, and let n days) and the diastolic blood pressure value for the specific time t1 in the above remaining days is DBP1R, DBP2R,..., DBPkR, the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveR for the specific time t1 in the above remaining days is defined as (DBP1R + DBP2R +... + DBPkR) / k (in this embodiment, this definition is extended to the case where k = 1). Note that in the case where k = 0, since there are no above remaining days, the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveR is not calculated and not displayed.

[0303] In addition, in Figure 27 In step S3B, when the mark M3 indicating the event is specified and the position of the central portion Bkm in the vertical column Bk corresponding to the specific time t1 is specified (refer to Figure 28 ), in Figure 27In step S4B, the control section 510 functions as a first operation section to obtain the systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveE and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveE for the specific time t1 in the specific event occurrence day (March 8 and March 9 in this example) in which the specific event has occurred, and the systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveR and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveR for the specific time t1 in the remaining days (March 6 and March 7 in this example) obtained by removing the specific event occurrence day from the display target period DP2. Also, in step S5B, the control section 510 functions as a first display control section to cause the display section 540 to pop up and display the systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveE and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveE obtained for the specific time t1 in the specific event occurrence day, and the systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveR and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveR obtained for the specific time t1 in the remaining days. Figure 27 In step S5B, the control section 510 functions as a first display control section to cause the display section 540 to pop up and display the systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveE and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveE obtained for the specific time t1 in the specific event occurrence day, and the systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveR and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveR obtained for the specific time t1 in the remaining days.

[0304] Note that, in the above embodiment, the control section 510 functions as a first display control section to cause the display section 540 to pop up and display the systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveE and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveE obtained for the specific time t1 in the specific event occurrence day, and the systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveR and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveR obtained for the specific time t1 in the remaining days. However, the present application is not limited to this. For example, the control section 510 can function as a first display control section to cause the display section 540 to pop up and display the systolic blood pressure average value SBPave and / or the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPave for the specific time t1 in the display target period DP2 (as a whole). Figure 27 In step S5B, the control section 510 functions as a first display control section to cause the display section 540 to pop up and display the systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveE and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveE obtained for the specific time t1 in the specific event occurrence day, and the systolic blood pressure average value SBPaveR and the diastolic blood pressure average value DBPaveR obtained for the specific time t1 in the remaining days.

[0305] In the case where the position designated together with the mark indicating the specific event is the longitudinal column R, G corresponding to the times t2, t3, this modified example 5 can also be applied similarly, respectively.

[0306] In this modified example 5, as the event, going out to eat, going to see a doctor, and taking medicine are cited, but the present application is not limited to this. As the event, employment (or recuperation), arrival of a specific day of the week (for example, Monday), and the like can also be included. What corresponds to the "event" can be set variably by the user (the examinee, the doctor, or the like).

[0307] In the above embodiment, the blood pressure correlation data measured by the blood pressure meter 400 is temporarily stored in the database 321 of the server 300, and the blood pressure correlation data is downloaded by the personal terminal 500. However, the present application is not limited to this. The blood pressure correlation data measured by the blood pressure meter 400 can also be received directly by the personal terminal 500 via the network 900, and stored in the memory 520.

[0308] In the above embodiment, the examinee as the user operates the personal terminal 500 to execute the above blood pressure correlation information display method. However, the present application is not limited to this. For example, the doctor as the user can operate the hospital terminal 200 to execute the above blood pressure correlation information display method.

[0309] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the change in the blood pressure value is displayed using a bar graph, but as a modification of the embodiment, a line graph can be used instead of the bar graph. Figure 30 An initial screen different from the initial screen illustrated in FIG. 3 is illustrated. Specifically, the SBP line graph 301 is made by connecting a point (reference sign "D2am_SBP") corresponding to the SBP at time t1, a point (reference sign "Da4h_SBP") corresponding to the SBP at time t2, and a point (reference sign "D4am_SBP") corresponding to the SBP at time t3 with line segments in this order. The DBP line graph 302 is made by connecting a point (reference sign "D2am_DBP") corresponding to the DBP at time t1, a point (reference sign "Da4h_DBP") corresponding to the DBP at time t2, and a point (reference sign "D4am_DBP") corresponding to the DBP at time t3 with line segments in this order. When the user performs an operation of designating (touching) a position (point) corresponding to a specific time of the SBP line graph 301 and the DBP line graph 302, the average value of the SBP and / or the average value of the DBP are displayed in pop-up in the display section 540, as with the operation of the bar graph described above. In this case, the target period DP can also be variably set by the pinch-in and pinch-out operations described above. Figure 7

[0310] The blood pressure-related information display method described above can also be stored as software (computer program) in a storage medium capable of non-transitory storage of data, such as a CD (compact disc), a DVD (digital versatile disc), a flash memory, and the like. By installing the software stored in such a storage medium in a computer device, such as a personal computer, a PDA (personal digital assistant), a smartphone, and the like, the computer device can be caused to execute the blood pressure-related information display method described above.

[0311] The above-described embodiments are merely examples, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present application. Although the above-described embodiments are individually independent embodiments, they can also be implemented in combination with each other. In addition, various features in different embodiments can be individually independent, but can also be combined with each other.
