[0022] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment according to one aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0023] §1 Examples of application <Information management system 100 to which the present invention is applied> FIG. 1 shows an information management system 100 including a measuring device 1 of the present invention and an information terminal 5 that performs wireless communication with the measuring device 1.

[0024] The measuring device 1 includes an activity amount measuring device that measures an amount of activity such as the number of steps, walking distance, or calories burned. The measuring device 1 includes a measurement sensor for measuring a measurement target amount. The measurement target amount of the measurement sensor includes an activity amount such as the number of steps, running distance, or calories burned depending on the measuring device 1. The measuring device 1 is also a wearable measuring device. The wearable measuring device 1 is a measuring device such as an activity meter that is carried by being worn on the body of a user. In contrast to a wearable measuring device, a measuring device that is not wearable is called a non-wearable measuring device. A non-wearable measuring device is a measuring device (e.g., a weight scale, a body composition meter, a blood pressure monitor, etc.) that is used while being installed on the ground or a stand. The measuring device 1 transmits the measured amount of activity to the information terminal 5 by wireless communication as the user's management measurement information.

[0025] The information terminal 5 stores the management measurement information received from the measuring device 1 in a data storage unit in the information terminal 5. The information terminal 5 can also wirelessly communicate with devices other than the measuring device 1, and stores information acquired from external devices in a data storage unit in the information terminal 5. The information terminal 5 is an information processing device that analyzes various information acquired from the measuring device 1 and other external devices. The information terminal 5 is, for example, a terminal having a display such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, or a wearable terminal. The information terminal 5 may be set to acquire the management measurement information from a specific measuring device 1. The specific measuring device 1 from which the management measurement information is acquired may be registered in advance in the data storage unit of the information terminal 5.

[0026] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an activity meter 1A, which is an example of the measuring device 1. The activity meter 1A is an example of an activity measuring device, and measures the user's body movements such as walking, housework, and deskwork, outputs the calories consumed in a day by the movements as a numerical value, and transmits the measurement result to the information terminal 5 by wireless communication as the user's management measurement information. The activity meter 1A, for example, numerically displays the user's target calorie consumption and the total calories consumed today on a screen. The activity meter 1A is a wearable measuring device, and is capable of extracting an acceleration signal generated by the user's physical activity from various noises. The activity meter 1A distinguishes between walking and jogging, as well as between everyday movements such as housework and deskwork, and measures the calories consumed. The activity meter 1A can also measure the user's heart rate, oxygen intake, and the like. The activity meter 1A may be, for example, a wristwatch-type device.

[0027] Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example in which an information terminal 5 is connected to a network. As shown in Fig. 3, the information terminal 5 may be connected to a cloud server 90 via a wide area network N such as the Internet. The information terminal 5 may transmit the managed measurement information stored therein to the cloud server 90 via the wide area network N, and the cloud server 90 may manage the managed measurement information of the user as a database. The information terminal 5 may also acquire the managed measurement information managed in the cloud server 90 via the wide area network N, and use the acquired managed measurement information.

[0028] §2 Configuration example <Configuration of Measuring Device 1> 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the measuring device 1. The measuring device 1 includes a display unit 11 that displays various information, an operation unit 12 operated by the user, a measuring unit 13 that measures an amount of activity, a wireless communication unit 14 for communicating with an external device, and a sensor 15 that detects the stationary state of the measuring device 1. The measuring device 1 also includes a RAM 16 that temporarily stores information, a data storage unit 17 that stores information and programs, and a controller 18 that controls the overall operation. The controller 18 is an example of the control unit and processor of the present invention. The sensor 15 is an example of the detection unit of the present invention.

[0029] The display unit 11 is configured with, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display. The operation unit 12 is a user interface that accepts user operations such as buttons and a touch panel. The buttons include buttons that are physically provided on the measurement device 1 and virtual buttons displayed on the display unit 11.

[0030] The measurement unit 13 measures the amount of activity such as the number of steps, the walking distance, the calories burned, etc. What is measured varies depending on the measurement subject of the measurement device 1.

[0031] The wireless communication unit 14 is a communication unit that performs short-range wireless communication, for example, a circuit (module) for performing communication according to the BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy (registered trademark)) standard. The wireless communication unit 14 transmits an advertising signal for performing wireless communication to an unspecified number of external devices at a predetermined transmission cycle by broadcast communication. The wireless communication unit 14 transmits the advertising signal including, for example, the name and attribute information of the measuring device 1. The BLE communication performed by the wireless communication unit 14 is, for example, communication using a 2.4 GHz frequency. The wireless communication unit 14 transmits management measurement information such as the amount of activity measured by the measurement unit 13 to the information terminal 5 by BLE communication.

[0032] The sensor 15 is, for example, an acceleration sensor. The sensor 15 detects the stillness of the measuring device 1 (the device itself) due to the cessation of activity when a user who is active while wearing the measuring device 1 stops the activity. The sensor 15 also detects the stillness of the measuring device 1 due to the user who is wearing the measuring device 1 removing the measuring device 1 from the user's body and placing it on a desk or the like.

[0033] The RAM 16 is composed of a semiconductor device such as a DRAM or an SRAM, and serves as a working area for the controller 18 while temporarily storing information.

[0034] The data storage unit 17 is a recording medium that stores parameters, control programs, and management measurement information required to realize a predetermined process. The data storage unit 17 is configured, for example, by a hard disk drive (HDD) or a semiconductor storage device (SSD).

[0035] Controller 18 realizes a predetermined process by executing a control program. In this embodiment, for example, health management application software for a measuring device is pre-installed as a control program in data storage unit 17, and controller 18 realizes a predetermined process by executing this health management application software.

[0036] For example, when the sensor 15 detects that the measuring device 1 is stationary, the controller 18 controls the wireless communication unit 14 to transmit an advertising signal for wireless communication (BLE communication). Specifically, when the controller 18 detects that the measuring device 1 is stationary due to the cessation of the activity of the user wearing the measuring device 1, the controller 18 controls the wireless communication unit 14 to transmit an advertising signal. The cessation of the user's activity includes, for example, the cessation of the user's body movement due to walking, housework, desk work, etc. Furthermore, when the controller 18 detects that the measuring device 1 is stationary due to the user wearing the measuring device 1 removing the measuring device 1, the controller 18 controls the wireless communication unit 14 to transmit an advertising signal. On the other hand, when there is no transmission data to be transmitted to the information terminal 5, the controller 18 controls the wireless communication unit 14 to stop transmitting the advertising signal even when the measuring device 1 is detected to be stationary.

[0037] <Configuration of information terminal 5> 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the information terminal 5. The information terminal 5 includes a display unit 51 that displays various information, an operation unit 52 that is operated by the user, and a first wireless communication unit 53 and a second wireless communication unit 54 for communicating with external devices. The information terminal 5 also includes a RAM 55 that temporarily stores information, a data storage unit 56 that stores information and programs, and a controller 57 that controls the overall operation.

[0038] The display unit 51 is configured with, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display. The operation unit 52 is a user interface that accepts user operations such as buttons and a touch panel. The buttons include buttons that are physically provided on the information terminal 5 and virtual buttons displayed on the display unit 51.

[0039] The first wireless communication unit 53 is a communication unit that performs cellular communication, for example, a circuit (module) for communication according to standards such as 4G, 5G, and LTE (Long Term Evolution: registered trademark). The first wireless communication unit 53 is a communication unit that performs wireless LAN communication, for example, a circuit (module) for communication according to standards such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark). The second wireless communication unit 54 is a communication unit that performs short-range wireless communication, for example, a circuit (module) for communication according to the BLE standard.

[0040] The second wireless communication unit 54 acquires management measurement information of a user measured by the measurement device 1, for example, by performing BLE communication with the wireless communication unit 14 of the measurement device 1. The second wireless communication unit 54 receives an advertising signal transmitted from the wireless communication unit 14 of the measurement device 1 by scanning. The second wireless communication unit 54 recognizes the measurement device 1 from the received advertising signal, and transmits a connection request to the measurement device 1 when a communication connection is desired. After transmitting an advertising signal, the measurement device 1 waits for a connection request for a predetermined time, and when a connection request is received within the predetermined time, stops transmitting the advertising signal and switches to one-to-one connection communication with the connection request partner.

[0041] The RAM 55 is composed of a semiconductor device such as a DRAM or an SRAM, and temporarily stores information and serves as a working area for the controller 57 .

[0042] The data storage unit 56 is a recording medium that stores parameters necessary for implementing predetermined processing, control programs, and management measurement information acquired from the measurement device 1. The data storage unit 56 is configured, for example, by a hard disk drive (HDD) or a semiconductor storage device (SSD).

[0043] Controller 57 realizes a predetermined process by executing a control program. In this embodiment, for example, health management application software for an information terminal is pre-installed as a control program in data storage unit 56, and controller 57 realizes a predetermined process by executing this health management application software. For example, when the health management application software for the information terminal is launched, controller 57 controls second wireless communication unit 54 to receive an advertising signal by scanning. When an advertising signal from measuring device 1 is received, controller 57 controls second wireless communication unit 54 to transmit a connection request to measuring device 1 and acquire managed measurement information from measuring device 1.

[0044] §3 Example of operation <Operation of Measuring Device 1> Next, an example of the operation of the measuring device 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure by the controller 18 of the measuring device 1. In this example, the measuring device 1 will be described below as an activity meter 1A. This processing starts when the power of the activity meter 1A is turned on.

[0045] The controller 18 of the activity meter 1A acquires sensing data collected by the sensor 15 from the sensor 15 (step S11).

[0046] Controller 18 determines whether activity meter 1A owned by the user is in a stationary state and whether this stationary state has continued for a predetermined time or longer based on the sensing data acquired by sensor 15 (step S12). As described above, the stationary state of activity meter 1A includes a case where the activity meter 1A is stationary due to a cessation of activity of the user wearing activity meter 1A, a case where the activity meter 1A is stationary due to the user removing activity meter 1A, etc.

[0047] In step S12, if the stationary state of the activity meter 1A has not continued for a predetermined time or longer (step S12: No), the controller 18 returns to step S11 and repeats each process.

[0048] In step S12, if the stationary state of the activity meter 1A continues for a predetermined time or longer (step S12: Yes), the controller 18 controls the wireless communication unit 14 to start transmitting an advertising signal (step S13).

[0049] Next, the controller 18 determines whether or not a connection request to the activity meter 1A has been received from an external device after transmitting the advertising signal (step S14).

[0050] In step S14, if a connection request has not been received (step S14: No), the controller 18 determines whether or not a certain period of time set as the time for receiving a connection request has elapsed (step S15).

[0051] In step S15, if the certain period of time has not elapsed (step S15: No), the controller 18 returns to step S14 and repeats each process.

[0052] In step S15, if a certain time has elapsed (step S15: Yes), that is, if there is no connection request from an external device within the certain time, the controller 18 controls the wireless communication unit 14 to stop transmitting the advertising signal (step S16). After stopping the transmission of the advertising signal, the controller 18 returns to step S11 and repeats each process. That is, even if the controller 18 detects a stationary state of the activity meter 1A that continues for a predetermined time or more and starts transmitting the advertising signal, if there is no connection request from an external device within the certain time, the controller 18 stops transmitting the advertising signal and returns to the process of sensing the stationary state of the activity meter 1A by the sensor 15. Note that, after step S16, if a certain time has elapsed since starting the process of FIG. 6 or if the number of times step S16 has been executed exceeds a certain number of times, the controller 18 may end the series of processes of FIG. 6 without returning to step S11. This makes it possible to prevent the transmission of the advertising signal from being repeated indefinitely when there is no connection request.

[0053] On the other hand, if a connection request has been received in step S14 (step S14: Yes), the controller 18 stops transmitting the advertising signal and starts communication via BLE connection with the external device that transmitted the connection request signal (step S17). The external device making the connection request is a device that has received the advertising signal from the activity meter 1A, is capable of BLE communication with the activity meter 1A, and may be one of multiple external devices located around the activity meter 1A.

[0054] 6, an example has been described in which the transmission of an advertising signal is started when the stationary state of activity meter 1A is detected, but for example, even when the stationary state of activity meter 1A is not detected, activity meter 1A may transmit an advertising signal based on a predetermined condition. Specifically, when a communication button provided on activity meter 1A is pressed and held (e.g., pressed for 2 seconds), the process may proceed to the process of step S13 described above to start transmitting an advertising signal, and each subsequent process may be executed.

[0055] <Operation of Information Management System 100> Next, an example of the operation of the information management system 100 will be described with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a sequence diagram showing the operation of the measuring device 1 and the information terminal 5 in the information management system 100. In this example, the measuring device 1 will also be described below as an activity meter 1A.

[0056] Assume that a user W wearing the activity meter 1A is jogging, for example. The activity meter 1A measures activity amount data of the user W while jogging using the measurement unit 13, and stores the measured activity data in the data storage unit 17 as management measurement information.

[0057] The activity meter 1A detects a stationary state of the activity meter 1A based on sensing data acquired by the sensor 15, and detects that the user W wearing the activity meter 1A has stopped jogging based on the stationary state of the activity meter 1A (step S21). The activity meter 1A determines whether the jogging stop state of the user W has continued for a predetermined time, and when it determines that the stop state has continued for the predetermined time, starts transmitting an advertising signal (step S22).

[0058] When the health management application is launched, the information terminal 5 scans to receive an advertising signal from the activity meter 1A. Upon receiving the advertising signal from the activity meter 1A, the information terminal 5 transmits a connection request signal to the activity meter 1A to request a communication connection (step S23).

[0059] When the activity meter 1A receives a connection request from the information terminal 5, it stops transmitting the advertising signal and switches to one-to-one connection communication with the information terminal 5. This brings the activity meter 1A and the information terminal 5 into a BLE connected state. The activity meter 1A transfers the measured management measurement information of the user W to the information terminal 5 by BLE communication (step S24).

[0060] When the information terminal 5 has finished receiving the management measurement information, it transmits a disconnection request signal to the activity meter 1A to request disconnection of the BLE communication (step S25). The activity meter 1A that has received the disconnection request disconnects the BLE connection with the information terminal 5, thereby terminating the communication between them.

[0061] <Example of deformation operation of measuring device 1> Next, a modified operation example of the measurement device 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of Fig. 8. In this example, the measurement device 1 will be described below as an activity meter 1A. The process in this example also starts when the activity meter 1A is powered on, similar to the process in Fig. 6 described above.

[0062] The controller 18 of the activity meter 1A determines whether or not there is untransmitted data, that is, whether or not the measured activity amount data has not yet been transmitted and is stored in the data storage unit 17 (step S31). If there is no untransmitted data (step S31: No), the controller 18 waits while repeating the process of step S31.

[0063] In step S31, if there is untransmitted data (step S31: Yes), the controller 18 acquires sensing data collected by the sensor 15 from the sensor 15 (step S32).

[0064] As shown in Fig. 8, in the modified operation example of the activity meter 1A, the processes from step S32 to step S38 are similar to the processes from step S11 to step S17 in the operation example shown in Fig. 6, so the description of the processes in these steps will be omitted. Note that, after step S37, if a certain time has elapsed since the start of the process in Fig. 8 or if the number of times step S37 has been executed exceeds a certain number, the controller 18 may end the series of processes in Fig. 8 without returning to step S31. This makes it possible to prevent the transmission of the advertising signal from being repeated indefinitely when there is no connection request.

[0065] In this way, when there is no untransmitted data in activity meter 1A, controller 18 of activity meter 1A performs control so as not to transmit an advertising signal even when activity meter 1A of the user is in a stationary state.

[0066] As described above, when the stationary state of the measuring device 1 is detected by the sensor 15, the controller 18 causes the wireless communication unit 14 to transmit an advertising signal for wireless communication (BLE communication). As a result, when the stationary state of the measuring device 1 is detected, an advertising signal for starting BLE communication is automatically transmitted, so that the advertising signal can be transmitted without requiring a specific operation by the user (for example, a long press of the communication button), improving convenience. In addition, when the measuring device 1 is not in a stopped state, the advertising signal is not transmitted, and it is only necessary to detect the state of the measuring device 1 by the sensor 15, so that the transmission period of the advertising signal can be reduced and power consumption can be suppressed.

[0067] For example, the controller 18 of the measuring device 1 transmits an advertising signal when it detects that the measuring device 1 has stopped moving due to the user wearing the measuring device 1 stopping his / her activity, or when it detects that the measuring device 1 has stopped moving due to the user wearing the measuring device 1 removing the measuring device 1. This allows the measuring device 1 and the information terminal 5 to be kept in a connected state for BLE communication, so that the transfer of measurement data, which is often performed when the user stops his / her activity or removes the measuring device from the user, can be performed smoothly.

[0068] Furthermore, when there is no transmission data to be transmitted to the information terminal 5, the controller 18 of the measuring device 1 stops transmitting the advertising signal even when a stopped state of the measuring device 1 is detected. This makes it possible to reduce the transmission period of the advertising signal transmitted from the measuring device 1, thereby suppressing power consumption.

[0069] § 4 Variations The controller 18 of the measuring device 1 may detect the stillness of the measuring device 1 due to the stop of the activity of the user wearing the measuring device 1 or the stillness of the measuring device 1 due to the user wearing the measuring device 1 removing the measuring device 1 based on a sensing pattern of the sensor 15 specific to these situations. This makes it possible to accurately detect the stillness of the measuring device 1 due to the stop of the activity of the user wearing the measuring device 1 or the stillness of the measuring device 1 due to the user wearing the measuring device 1 removing the measuring device 1.

[0070] For example, the data storage unit 17 stores a sensing pattern of the sensor 15 when the measuring device 1 comes to a standstill due to the cessation of activity of the user wearing the measuring device 1 (for example, a pattern in which the measuring device 1 comes to a standstill immediately after a sensing pattern specific to a user activity such as jogging). This sensing pattern may be stored in the data storage unit 17 in advance when the measuring device 1 is manufactured, or may be generated for a user after the measuring device 1 is manufactured and stored in the data storage unit 17. The controller 18 then compares the sensing pattern stored in the data storage unit 17 with the sensing pattern obtained by the sensor 15 to detect the standstill of the measuring device 1 due to the cessation of activity of the user wearing the measuring device 1.

[0071] The data storage unit 17 also stores a sensing pattern of the sensor 15 when the measuring device 1 comes to a standstill due to the user wearing the measuring device 1 removing the measuring device 1 (for example, a pattern that comes to a standstill immediately after a specific sensing pattern when the measuring device 1 is removed). This sensing pattern may be stored in the data storage unit 17 in advance when the measuring device 1 is manufactured, or may be generated for a specific user after the measuring device 1 is manufactured and stored in the data storage unit 17. The controller 18 compares the sensing pattern stored in the data storage unit 17 with the sensing pattern obtained by the sensor 15 to detect that the measuring device 1 has come to a standstill due to the user wearing the measuring device 1 removing the measuring device 1.

[0072] §5 Program The control method of the measuring device 1 described in the above embodiment can be realized by executing a prepared control program on a computer. The control program is recorded in a computer-readable storage medium and executed by reading it from the storage medium. The control program may be provided in a form stored in a non-transient storage medium such as a flash memory, or may be provided via a network such as the Internet. The computer that executes the control program may be included in the measuring device 1, or may be included in an electronic device such as a smartphone, tablet terminal, or personal computer that can communicate with the measuring device 1, or may be included in a server device that can communicate with the measuring device 1 and the electronic device.

[0073] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the above description is merely an example of the present invention in every respect. Various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
