[0014] Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0015] (Overall composition) 1, the information processing system 100 includes a plurality of transmitters 1, a receiving device 2, an information processing device 3, and a user terminal device 4. The information processing system 100 is used in a medical facility such as a hospital.

[0016] The transmitter 1 is, for example, a portable medical telemeter used in a medical facility such as a hospital. The transmitter 1 can measure and / or display biological information of a subject. The transmitter 1 can wirelessly communicate with the receiving device 2 by registering second identification information (described later) in the receiving device 2. This allows the transmitter 1 to transmit various information to the receiving device 2. The various information includes, for example, biological information measured by the transmitter 1, first identification information for identifying a communication path used when the transmitter 1 transmits information to the receiving device 2 using radio waves, and first identification information for identifying the transmitter 1. The first identification information is, for example, information indicating a communication path, such as a channel or frequency, used when the transmitter 1 transmits information to the receiving device 2 using radio waves. The first identification information is, for example, a hospital ID preset for the transmitter 1. The hospital ID is an identifier indicating a medical facility, a medical department, etc., and is an identifier for preventing erroneous display of biological information transmitted from another hospital via the same communication path.

[0017] The receiving device 2 is, for example, a bedside monitor. The receiving device 2 is capable of communicating with the transmitter 1 and the information processing device 3. The receiving device 2 includes an input / output interface 21, a storage device 22, and a control unit 23. These are connected to each other via a bus 24 so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0018] The input / output interface 21 functions as an interface between the transmitter 1 and the receiving device 2. The input / output interface 21 also functions as an interface between the receiving device 2 and the information processing device 3.

[0019] The storage device 22 is configured to store, for example, various types of data. The storage device 22 is, for example, a storage device (storage) such as a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), or a flash memory. The storage device 22 pre-stores, for example, second identification information for identifying a communication path usable by the receiving device 2 and second identification information for identifying a transmitter 1 capable of communicating with the receiving device 2. The second identification information is, for example, information indicating a channel or frequency usable by the receiving device 2 when receiving information from the transmitter 1 using radio waves. The second identification information is, for example, a hospital ID pre-set for the receiving device 2. Note that the receiving device 2 can receive various types of information from the transmitter 1 when the communication path identified by the first identification information matches the communication path identified by the second identification information.

[0020] The control unit 23 includes, as its hardware configuration, a memory 231 and a processor 232. The memory 231 is configured, for example, from a ROM (Read Only Memory) in which various computer programs and the like are stored, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) having multiple work areas in which various computer programs and the like executed by the processor 232 are stored. The processor 232 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and is configured to load a computer program specified from the various computer programs stored in the ROM onto the RAM and execute various processes in cooperation with the RAM.

[0021] In this embodiment, a computer-readable medium may be used. A computer-readable medium refers to any type of physical memory (such as RAM or ROM) that can store information or data that can be read by a processor. A computer-readable medium may store instructions for execution by one or more processors. The term "computer-readable medium" includes tangible items and excludes carrier waves and transitory signals (i.e., non-transitory). Examples of non-transitory computer-readable media include magnetic recording media (e.g., flexible disks, magnetic tapes, hard disk drives), magneto-optical recording media (e.g., magneto-optical disks), CD-ROMs (Read Only Memory), CD-Rs, CD-R / Ws, and semiconductor memories (e.g., mask ROMs, programmable ROMs (PROMs), erasable PROMs (EPROMs), and flash ROMs).

[0022] When the communication path identified by the first identification information and the communication path identified by the second identification information match, the control unit 23 determines whether first identification information has been received from the transmitter 1. Furthermore, when the communication path identified by the first identification information and the communication path identified by the second identification information match, the control unit 23 determines whether the transmitter 1 identified by the first identification information matches the transmitter 1 identified by the second identification information. When the control unit 23 determines that the first identification information has not been received from the transmitter 1 or that the transmitter 1 identified by the first identification information does not match the transmitter 1 identified by the second identification information, the control unit 23 determines that interference has occurred. Based on the determination that interference has occurred, the control unit 23 then generates interference information indicating that interference has occurred. In this embodiment, the control unit 23 generates an interference flag as the interference information. In this embodiment, the interference information includes date and time information indicating the date and time when the transmitter 1 transmitted the biometric information to the receiving device 2. In other words, the interference information is linked to the date and time when the transmitter 1 transmitted the biometric information to the receiving device 2.

[0023] The control unit 23 may generate radio wave intensity information indicating the intensity of radio waves when the biological information of the subject is received from the transmitter 1, based on signal intensity information indicating the signal intensity when the biological information of the subject is received from the transmitter 1. In this case, when the radio wave intensity indicated by the radio wave intensity information is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the control unit 23 generates, as interference information, first interference information (an example of interference information) indicating that interference is occurring and that the radio wave intensity indicated by the radio wave intensity information is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. On the other hand, when the radio wave intensity indicated by the radio wave intensity information is less than a predetermined value, the control unit 23 generates, as interference information, second interference information (an example of interference information) indicating that interference is occurring but the radio wave intensity indicated by the radio wave intensity information is less than a predetermined value. The predetermined value is, for example, 10 dBμV. However, the predetermined value is not limited to 10 dBμV. A relatively large number of transmitters 1 are used in medical facilities such as hospitals, and in such facilities, interference that does not actually cause interference (i.e., interference that is technically interference but does not cause actual harm) may occur frequently. In such a case, by configuring the control unit 23 to determine whether or not there is interference when the radio wave strength indicated by the radio wave strength information is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, it is possible to distinguish, for example, between interference that causes interference and interference that does not actually cause interference.

[0024] The control unit 23 can transmit various information including, for example, the biometric information received from the transmitter 1 and date and time information indicating the date and time when the biometric information was transmitted from the transmitter 1 to the receiving device 2 to the information processing device 3. Note that the biometric information and the date and time information are linked to each other.

[0025] The control unit 23 transmits the biometric information, the date and time information, and the generated interference information to the storage device 22. As a result, the biometric information, the date and time information, and the interference information are stored in the storage device 22.

[0026] The control unit 23 determines whether interference information exists in the storage device 22 for a predetermined period based on an instruction signal from the information processing device 3, which will be described later. The predetermined period may be, for example, one day or one month. If interference information does not exist for the predetermined period, the control unit 23 generates absence information indicating that interference information does not exist for the predetermined period, and transmits various information including the absence information to the information processing device 3. On the other hand, if interference information exists for the predetermined period, the control unit 23 transmits various information to the information processing device 3 based on the interference information, including the interference information for the predetermined period, and biological information and date and time information for a unit time (e.g., one hour, two hours, one day, etc.) included in the predetermined period during which the interference information exists.

[0027] The information processing device 3 is, for example, a server such as a cloud server or an edge server. A cloud server is a server provided via the Internet. An edge server is a server provided via a network (for example, a local area network (LAN)) in an area closer to the user than the Internet. The information processing device 3 is capable of communicating with the receiving device 2 and the user terminal device 4. The information processing device 3 includes an input / output interface 31 and a control unit 32. These are connected to each other via a bus 33 so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0028] The input / output interface 31 functions as an interface between the receiving device 2 and the information processing device 3. The input / output interface 21 also functions as an interface between the information processing device 3 and the user terminal device 4.

[0029] The control unit 32 includes, as its hardware configuration, a memory 321 and a processor 322. The memory 321 is configured, for example, from a ROM in which various computer programs and the like are stored, and a RAM having multiple work areas in which various computer programs and the like executed by the processor 322 are stored, etc. The processor 322 is, for example, a CPU, and is configured to load a computer program specified from the various computer programs stored in the ROM onto the RAM and execute various processes in cooperation with the RAM.

[0030] Based on a request signal from the user terminal device 4 (described later), the control unit 32 generates an instruction signal for causing the receiving device 2 to transmit various desired information to the information processing device 3. The control unit 32 transmits the generated instruction signal to the receiving device 2.

[0031] When the control unit 32 receives non-existence information from the receiving device 2, the control unit 32 determines, based on the non-existence information, that no interference occurred during a certain period of time. In this specification, a state in which no interference occurred is referred to as a normal state. When the control unit 32 determines that no interference occurred during a certain period of time, it generates no-interference information indicating that no interference occurred during that period of time.

[0032] When the control unit 32 receives biometric information, date and time information, and interference information from the receiving device 2, it generates radio wave condition information indicating the radio wave condition when the receiving device 2 received the biometric information from the transmitter 1 using radio waves, based on the biometric information and date and time information received from the receiving device 2. For example, if the biometric information received from the receiving device 2 indicates a value (e.g., a blood pressure value of 0 or 300) that the biometric information should not indicate unless there is a radio wave abnormality such as radio wave interruption or noise interference, the control unit 32 generates radio wave condition information indicating that the radio wave condition when the receiving device 2 received the biometric information from the transmitter 1 using radio waves was abnormal (abnormal radio wave condition). Conversely, for example, if the biometric information received from the transmitter 1 indicates a value (e.g., a blood pressure value of 50 to 200) that the biometric information can indicate, the control unit 32 generates radio wave condition information indicating that the radio wave condition when the receiving device 2 received the biometric information from the transmitter 1 using radio waves was normal (normal radio wave condition).

[0033] The control unit 32 determines whether interference has occurred when the receiving device 2 receives the biological information from the transmitter 1, based on the interference information and the radio wave condition information. For example, if the control unit 32 receives interference information from the receiving device 2 and the radio wave condition information indicates an abnormal radio wave state, the control unit 32 determines that a radio wave abnormality, such as interference, radio wave interruption, or noise interference, has occurred over a certain period of time. Note that, in this specification, a state in which interference and radio wave abnormality have occurred is referred to as an abnormal state. Also, if the control unit 32 receives interference information from the receiving device 2 but the radio wave condition information indicates a normal radio wave state, the control unit 32 determines that interference has occurred over a certain period of time but no radio wave abnormality has occurred. Note that, in this specification, a state in which interference has occurred but no radio wave abnormality has occurred is referred to as a false normal state. The control unit 32 generates interference impact information based on this determination.

[0034] The control unit 32 generates analysis information based on the no-interference information for a predetermined period (e.g., one day, one month, etc.) received from the receiving device 2, or the interference information and interference impact information for the predetermined period. Note that the analysis information is, for example, information summarizing the presence or absence of interference and the impact of interference for each unit time (e.g., one hour, two hours, one day, etc.) included in the predetermined period. Therefore, the analysis information includes at least the no-interference information, or the interference information and interference impact information. However, the analysis information may also include information other than these.

[0035] The control unit 32 generates display data based on the analysis information. Therefore, the display data is generated based on interference-free information for a predetermined period, or interference information and interference impact information for a predetermined period. In this embodiment, the display data generated by the control unit 32 is, for example, data corresponding to a daily report summarizing the presence or absence of interference and the impact of interference for each hour of a given day, or data corresponding to a monthly report summarizing the presence or absence of interference and the impact of interference for each day of a given month. However, the display data is not limited to these examples. For example, the display data may be data corresponding to a weekly report summarizing the presence or absence of interference and the impact of interference for each day of a given week. Furthermore, the display data may be data summarizing the presence or absence of interference and the impact of interference for each day of the week for a given month. The generated display data may include the subject's biological waveform information transmitted by the transmitter 1 to the receiving device 2. The biological waveform information may also include noise waves and triangular waves. The control unit 32 transmits the generated display data to the user terminal device 4.

[0036] The user terminal device 4 is a device operated by a medical professional such as a clinical engineer or a nurse. The user terminal device 4 can be installed, for example, in a medical equipment safety management room or a nurse's station. The user terminal device 4 is, for example, an electronic device such as a desktop PC, a notebook PC, a tablet terminal, or a smartphone. The user terminal device 4 includes an input / output interface 41, an operation unit 42, and a display unit 43. These are connected to each other via a bus 44 so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0037] The input / output interface 41 functions as an interface between the information processing device 3 and the user terminal device 4 .

[0038] The operation unit 42 is configured to accept input operations by a user operating the user terminal device 4 and to generate a request signal corresponding to the input operation. The operation unit 42 is, for example, a touch panel superimposed on the display unit 43, or operation buttons attached to the housing of the user terminal device 4. The operation unit 42 accepts, for example, an input operation for acquiring display data and generates a request signal corresponding to the input operation. The generated request signal is transmitted to the information processing device 3 via the input / output interface 41. The information processing device 3, which has received the request signal generated by the operation unit 42, generates display data based on the request signal and transmits the generated display data to the user terminal device 4.

[0039] The display unit 43 is, for example, a touch screen display such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display. The display unit 43 is configured to display an image based on display data received from the information processing device 3, for example.

[0040] (First Example) Next, an information processing method executed by the information processing system 100 in the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2 to Fig. 5. Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an information processing method executed by the information processing system 100 from when various information is transmitted from multiple transmitters 1 to the receiving device 2 until the receiving device 2 generates interference information (first interference information and second interference information). Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an information processing method executed by the information processing system 100 from when interference information is generated by the receiving device 2 until an image based on the display data is displayed on the display unit 43 of the user terminal device 4. Fig. 4 is a diagram illustrating analysis information generated by the information processing device 3 in the first embodiment. Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating display data displayed on the display unit 43 of the user terminal device 4.

[0041] In this embodiment, the second identification information stored in the storage device 22 of the receiving device 2 is information indicating a channel such as "1001," and the second identification information is information indicating a hospital ID such as "1." The storage device 22 may store multiple pieces of second identification information for each channel or frequency of each transmitter 1. In this case, each information processing method described below is executed for each channel or frequency of each transmitter 1. In this embodiment, the control unit 23 of the receiving device 2 determines that interference has occurred when the control unit 2 does not receive first identification information from the transmitter 1 when the communication path identified by the first identification information and the communication path identified by the second identification information match, or when the transmitter 1 identified by the first identification information and the transmitter 1 identified by the second identification information do not match. In this embodiment, the control unit 23 generates first interference information when it determines that interference has occurred and the radio wave strength indicated by the radio wave strength information is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. On the other hand, the control unit 23 generates second interference information when it determines that interference has occurred and the radio wave strength indicated by the radio wave strength information is less than a predetermined value. In this embodiment, the predetermined value is 10 dBμV.

[0042] First, with reference to Fig. 2, an information processing method executed by the information processing system 100 from when various pieces of information are transmitted from multiple transmitters 1 to the receiving device 2 until the receiving device 2 generates interference information will be described. As illustrated in Fig. 2, the multiple transmitters 1 transmit various pieces of information to the receiving device 2 (STEP 01). The information transmitted from the transmitter 1 to the receiving device 2 in STEP 01 is, for example, biometric information, signal strength information, first identification information and first identification information, or biometric information, signal strength information and first identification information.

[0043] If the communication path specified by the first identification information and the communication path specified by the second identification information match (YES in STEP 02), the receiving device 2 receives the various information transmitted from the transmitter 1 (STEP 03). On the other hand, if the communication path specified by the first identification information and the communication path specified by the second identification information do not match (NO in STEP 02), the receiving device 2 does not receive the various information transmitted from the transmitter 1 (STEP 04). In this case, the subsequent information processing is not executed.

[0044] When the control unit 23 of the receiving device 2 receives the various information transmitted from the transmitter 1, it generates radio wave intensity information based on the signal intensity information indicating the signal intensity when the subject's biological information was received from the transmitter 1 (STEP 05).

[0045] The control unit 23 determines whether the various information received from the transmitter 1 includes first identification information (STEP 06). That is, the control unit 23 determines whether the first identification information has been received from the transmitter 1. If the receiving device 2 has received the first identification information from the transmitter 1 (YES in STEP 06), the control unit 23 executes STEP 07. On the other hand, if the receiving device 2 has not received the first identification information from the transmitter 1 (NO in STEP 06), the control unit 23 executes STEP 08.

[0046] If the receiving device 2 has received the first identification information from the transmitter 1 (YES in STEP 06), the control unit 23 determines whether the transmitter 1 identified by the first identification information matches the transmitter 1 identified by the second identification information (STEP 07). If the transmitter 1 identified by the first identification information matches the transmitter 1 identified by the second identification information (YES in STEP 07), the control unit 23 ends this information processing. On the other hand, if the transmitter 1 identified by the first identification information does not match the transmitter 1 identified by the second identification information (NO in STEP 07), the control unit 23 executes STEP 08.

[0047] The control unit 23 determines whether the radio wave strength indicated by the radio wave strength information is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (STEP 08). If the radio wave strength indicated by the radio wave strength information is equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the control unit 23 generates first interference information (STEP 09). On the other hand, if the radio wave strength indicated by the radio wave strength information is less than the predetermined value, the control unit 23 generates second interference information (STEP 10).

[0048] Next, with reference to Fig. 3, an information processing method executed by the information processing system 100 from the time when interference information is generated by the receiving device 2 until an image based on the display data is displayed on the display unit 43 of the user terminal device 4 will be described. Note that the information processing method illustrated in Fig. 3 is executed when the user performs an input operation on the operation unit 42 of the user terminal device 4 after the information processing method illustrated in Fig. 2 is executed.

[0049] In this embodiment, it is assumed that the user performs an input operation on the operation unit 42 to cause the display unit 43 of the user terminal device 4 to display display data corresponding to the daily report for August 1, 2023.

[0050] In this embodiment, it is assumed that interference of 10 dBμV or more has occurred at least once during the following time period on August 1, 2023. Note that in this embodiment, it is assumed that the information processing device 3 receives from the receiving device 2 the biological information and the date and time information during the time period when interference of 10 dBμV or more has occurred. <Number of times interference occurs> (1) Three instances of interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred between 3:00 and 3:59. (2) Two instances of interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred between 4:00 and 4:59. (3) One occurrence of interference of 10 dBμV or more between 5:00 and 5:59 (4) One occurrence of interference of 10 dBμV or more between 6:00 and 6:59 (5) Three instances of interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred between 13:00 and 13:59. (6) Three instances of interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred between 14:00 and 14:59. (7) Two instances of interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred between 22:00 and 22:59. (8) Three instances of interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred between 23:00 and 23:59.

[0051] Furthermore, during the above-mentioned time periods when interference of 10 dBμV or more occurs one or more times, the biological information during the following time periods will show values ​​that the biological information should not show unless there is a radio wave abnormality. In other words, during the above-mentioned time periods when interference of 10 dBμV or more occurs one or more times, the biological information during the following time periods will show values ​​that the biological information should not show unless there is a radio wave abnormality. <Number of times radio wave abnormalities occurred> (9) Radio wave abnormalities occurred 12 times between 13:00 and 13:59. (10) 10 radio wave anomalies occurred between 14:00 and 14:59.

[0052] In this example, the control unit 32 of the information processing device 3 generates analysis information based on the first interference information and interference impact information for August 1, 2023, and generates display data based on the analysis information. Therefore, in this example, the information processing device 3 receives biological information for August 1, 2023, date and time information, and interference information including the first interference information from the receiving device 2. Note that in this example, the control unit 32 performs analysis in one-hour units.

[0053] In this embodiment, the control unit 32 generates analysis information and display data at the timing when the user performs an input operation on the operation unit 42 of the user terminal device 4. However, the information processing device 3 may be configured to receive the biological information, date and time information, and interference information of the previous day from the receiving device 2 at a predetermined date and time (e.g., 8:00 every day), and generate analysis information and display data based on the received biological information, date and time information, and interference information. Alternatively, the information processing device 3 may be configured to constantly receive the biological information, date and time information, and interference information from the receiving device 2, and generate analysis information and display data based on the received biological information, date and time information, and interference information.

[0054] As illustrated in FIG. 3, the control unit 32 of the information processing device 3 generates an instruction signal based on a request signal based on a user's input operation on the operation unit 42 of the user terminal device 4, and transmits the instruction signal to the receiving device 2 (STEP 11).

[0055] When receiving the instruction signal, the receiving device 2 determines whether interference information for a predetermined period (August 1, 2023 in this embodiment) is stored in the storage device 22 (STEP 12).

[0056] When the receiving device 2 determines that interference information for the predetermined period is stored in the storage device 22 (YES in STEP 12), it transmits the biological information, date and time information, and interference information for the predetermined period to the information processing device 3 based on the interference information (STEP 13). Note that the interference information transmitted from the receiving device 2 to the information processing device 3 in STEP 13 includes at least the first interference information. In this case, the control unit 32 of the information processing device 3 generates radio wave condition information based on the biological information and date and time information received from the receiving device 2 (STEP 14).

[0057] The control unit 32 determines whether the generated radio wave condition information indicates an abnormal radio wave condition (STEP 15). If the radio wave condition information indicates an abnormal radio wave condition (YES in STEP 15), the control unit 32 determines that the condition during the period corresponding to the radio wave condition information was an abnormal condition (STEP 16). On the other hand, if the radio wave condition information indicates a normal radio wave condition (NO in STEP 15), the control unit 32 determines that the condition during the period corresponding to the radio wave condition information was a false normal condition (STEP 17). After executing the process of STEP 16 or STEP 17, the control unit 32 generates interference impact information based on the determination in STEP 16 or STEP 17 (STEP 18). The control unit 32 determines whether interference impact information has been generated for all periods corresponding to the first interference information within the predetermined period (STEP 19). If the control unit 32 determines that interference impact information has been generated for all periods corresponding to the first interference information within the predetermined period (YES in STEP 19), the control unit 32 executes STEP 23. On the other hand, if the control unit 32 determines that interference effect information has not been generated for at least a part of the period corresponding to the first interference information within the predetermined period (NO in STEP 19), the control unit 32 returns to STEP 15.

[0058] On the other hand, if the receiving device 2 determines that interference information for the predetermined period is not stored in the storage device 22 (NO in STEP 12), it transmits non-existence information to the information processing device 3 (STEP 20). In this case, the control unit 32 of the information processing device 3 determines that the state for the predetermined period was normal based on the non-existence information received from the receiving device 2 (STEP 21). If the control unit 32 determines that the state for the predetermined period was normal, it generates no-interference information based on this determination (STEP 22). Once the control unit 32 generates the no-interference information, the information processing system 100 executes STEP 23.

[0059] In this embodiment, because interference occurs during the time periods indicated by (1) to (8) above, the receiving device 2 determines that interference information for August 1, 2023 is stored in the storage device 22 (YES in STEP 12). Based on the interference information for August 1, 2023, the receiving device 2 transmits the biometric information for the time periods indicated by (1) to (8) above, date information, and interference information including the first interference information to the information processing device 3 (STEP 13). Furthermore, the biometric information for the time periods indicated by (9) and (10) above indicates a value that the biometric information should not indicate unless there is a radio wave abnormality, indicating that a radio wave abnormality has occurred. Therefore, the radio wave condition information generated based on the biometric information for the time periods indicated by (9) and (10) above indicates a radio wave abnormality (YES in STEP 15). Therefore, the control unit 32 determines that the radio wave condition for the time periods indicated by (9) and (10) above was a radio wave abnormality (STEP 16). On the other hand, the biometric information during the time periods (1) to (8) other than the time periods (9) and (10) indicates values ​​that the biometric information can indicate, and no radio wave abnormality has occurred. Therefore, the radio wave status information generated based on the biometric information during the time periods (1) to (8) other than the time periods (9) and (10) indicates a normal radio wave status (NO in STEP 15). Therefore, the control unit 32 determines that the status during the time periods (1) to (8) other than the time periods (9) and (10) was normal (STEP 17). Then, based on the determination in STEP 16 or STEP 17, the control unit 32 generates interference impact information for the time periods (1) to (8) (STEP 18). The control unit 32 repeats the processes in STEP 15 to STEP 19 until it determines that interference impact information has been generated for the time periods (1) to (8). When the control unit 32 determines that interference effect information has been generated for the time periods (1) to (8) above (YES in STEP 19), it executes STEP 23.

[0060] The control unit 32 generates analysis information based on the first interference information and the interference impact information (STEP 23). The analysis information generated by the control unit 32 at this time is information exemplified in FIG. 4. As exemplified in FIG. 4, the analysis information according to this embodiment includes information indicating a date, information indicating a time period, second specification information (information indicating a channel "1001"), second identification information (information indicating a hospital ID "1"), interference count information indicating the number of interferences of 10 dBμV or more, radio wave abnormality count information indicating the number of radio wave abnormalities, and overall evaluation information. The interference count information is based on the first interference information. The radio wave abnormality count information is based on the radio wave condition information. The overall evaluation information is information based on the first interference information and the radio wave condition information, and indicates whether the condition in the target time period is a normal state, a false normal state, or an abnormal state. In this embodiment, the overall evaluation for a normal state is an A rating, the overall evaluation for a false normal state is a B rating, and the overall evaluation for an abnormal state is a C rating. However, the method of displaying the evaluations is not limited to this example. For example, the state from 0:00 to 0:59 on August 1, 2023 is a normal state, so the overall evaluation for that time period is A. The state from 3:00 to 3:59 on August 1, 2023 is a false normal state, so the overall evaluation for that time period is B. The state from 13:00 to 13:59 on August 1, 2023 is an abnormal state, so the overall evaluation for that time period is C.

[0061] Returning to FIG. 2, STEP 24 will be described. The control unit 32 generates display data based on the analysis information (STEP 24). The control unit 32 transmits the generated display data to the user terminal device 4 (STEP 25). When the user terminal device 4 receives the display data, an image G1 (see FIG. 5) based on the display data is displayed on the display unit 43 of the user terminal device 4.

[0062] Image G1 will now be described with reference to FIG. 5. Image G1 includes a horizontal axis AX1 and a vertical axis AX2. Image G1 includes a first bar graph (a bar graph hatched with horizontal lines in FIG. 5) and a second bar graph (a bar graph hatched with vertical lines in FIG. 5). The first bar graph indicates the number of interferences of 10 dBμV or more in the corresponding time period. The second bar graph indicates the number of radio wave anomalies in the corresponding time period. The horizontal axis AX1 indicates the time period, and the vertical axis AX2 indicates the number of interferences of 10 dBμV or more or the number of radio wave anomalies. By visually viewing image G1, a user can ascertain, for example, time periods in which there is interference of 10 dBμV or more and radio wave anomalies, and time periods in which there is interference of 10 dBμV or more but no radio wave anomalies. Furthermore, by visually viewing image G1, a user can also analyze, for example, time periods in which interference of 10 dBμV or more is likely to occur.

[0063] In the information processing system 100 having the above configuration, the transmitter 1 transmits to the receiving device 2 first identification information for identifying a communication path used by the transmitter 1 when transmitting information to the receiving device 2 using radio waves, and first identification information for identifying the transmitter 1. The receiving device 2 pre-stores second identification information for identifying a communication path usable by the receiving device 2 and second identification information for identifying a transmitter 1 capable of communicating with the receiving device 2. When the communication path identified by the first identification information and the communication path identified by the second identification information match, the receiving device 2 generates interference information indicating the occurrence of interference if it receives the first identification information from the transmitter 1 but does not receive the first identification information from the transmitter 1, or if the transmitter 1 identified by the first identification information received from the transmitter 1 does not match the transmitter 1 identified by the second identification information. In this way, the information processing system 100 can generate interference information using information that is relatively easy to obtain, such as the first identification information and the second identification information. Using this interference information, a user can determine whether interference is occurring between the channels of each transmitter 1. The receiving device 2, the information processing method, the computer program, and the non-transitory computer-readable medium according to the above configuration can also achieve the same effects.

[0064] Furthermore, according to the information processing system 100 having the above configuration, the receiving device 2 generates radio wave intensity information indicating the intensity of radio waves when receiving the subject's biological information from the transmitter 1. When the radio wave intensity indicated by the generated radio wave intensity information is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (10 dBμV in this embodiment), the receiving device 2 generates, as interference information, first interference information indicating that interference is occurring and that the radio wave intensity indicated by the radio wave intensity information is equal to or greater than the predetermined value. On the other hand, when the radio wave intensity indicated by the generated radio wave intensity information is less than the predetermined value, the receiving device 2 generates, as interference information, second interference information indicating that interference is occurring but that the radio wave intensity indicated by the radio wave intensity information is less than the predetermined value. Therefore, according to the information processing system 100, for example, a user can use the first interference information to perform an analysis focusing on interference when the radio wave intensity indicated by the radio wave intensity information is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. Therefore, the information processing system 100 allows for more precise analysis of interference.

[0065] Furthermore, according to the information processing system 100 having the above configuration, the receiving device 2 transmits the biological information received from the transmitter 1 and interference information to the information processing device 3. Based on the biological information received from the receiving device 2, the information processing device 3 generates radio wave condition information indicating the radio wave condition when the receiving device 2 received the biological information from the transmitter 1 using radio waves. Then, based on the interference information and the radio wave condition information, the information processing device 3 generates interference impact information indicating whether or not there was an influence of interference when the receiving device 2 received the biological information from the transmitter 1. By using such interference impact information, the user can not only determine whether or not there was interference, but also whether or not there was an influence of interference when the receiving device 2 received the biological information of the subject from the transmitter 1.

[0066] Furthermore, according to the information processing system 100 having the above configuration, the receiving device 2 and the information processing device 3 are separate devices, so that the configurations of the receiving device 2 and the information processing device 3 can be simplified.

[0067] Furthermore, according to the information processing system 100 having the above configuration, the information processing device 3 generates display data based on interference information and interference impact information for a predetermined period of time. Therefore, by using such display data, the user can visually grasp whether there is interference between the channels of each transmitter 1 for a certain period of time, and can analyze interference among the transmitters 1 for that period of time.

[0068] (Second Example) Next, with reference to FIGS. 2 and 6 to 8, an information processing method executed by the information processing system 100 in a second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment will be described using the same reference numerals, and overlapping descriptions will be omitted as appropriate. In this embodiment, the user performs an input operation on the operation unit 42 to display display data corresponding to a monthly report for August 2023 on the display unit 43 of the user terminal device 4. Therefore, the information processing device 3 receives, from the receiving device 2, biometric information from August 1 to 31, 2023, date and time information, and interference information including first interference information. The control unit 32 of the information processing device 3 generates analysis information based on the first interference information and interference impact information from August 1 to 31, 2023, and generates display data based on the analysis information. The control unit 32 may be configured to generate the analysis information and display data when the user performs an input operation on the operation unit 42 of the user terminal device 4. Furthermore, the control unit 32 may be configured to generate analysis information every day, for example, at a predetermined time each day, and to generate display data at the timing when the user performs an input operation on the operation unit 42 of the user terminal device 4. In this embodiment, the control unit 32 performs analysis on a daily basis.

[0069] In this embodiment, the control unit 32 of the information processing device 3 determines for each day whether interference of a predetermined value or more (10 dBμV in this embodiment) has occurred more than a first threshold (10 times in this embodiment) on a given day, based on interference information including the first interference information received from the receiving device 2. If the control unit 32 determines that interference of a predetermined value or more has occurred more than the first threshold per day, it generates first excess information indicating that interference of a predetermined value or more has occurred more than the first threshold on that day. Note that in this embodiment, it is assumed that interference of 10 dBμV or more has occurred more than 10 times on the following days in August 2023: <Number of times interference occurs> (11) Interference of 10 dBμV or more occurs 10 or more times on August 1, 2023 (12) Interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred 10 or more times on August 3, 2023 (13) On August 5, 2023, interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred 10 or more times. (14) On August 7, 2023, interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred 10 or more times. (15) On August 8, 2023, interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred 10 or more times. (16) Interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred 10 or more times on August 9, 2023 (17) Interference of 10 dBμV or more occurs 10 or more times on August 10, 2023 (18) On August 11, 2023, interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred 10 or more times. (19) On August 22, 2023, interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred 10 or more times. (20) On August 24, 2023, interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred 10 or more times. (21) Interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred 10 or more times on August 25, 2023 (22) On August 26, 2023, interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred 10 or more times. (23) On August 27, 2023, interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred 10 or more times. (24) On August 28, 2023, interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred 10 or more times.

[0070] Also in this embodiment, the control unit 32 generates radio wave condition information based on the biometric information and date and time information received from the receiving device 2. Based on the generated radio wave condition information, the control unit 32 determines whether the number of radio wave anomalies per day is equal to or greater than a second threshold (20 in this embodiment) for each of the above-mentioned days. If the control unit 32 determines that the number of radio wave anomalies per day is equal to or greater than the second threshold, it generates second excess information indicating that the number of radio wave anomalies per day on that day is equal to or greater than the second threshold. Furthermore, in this embodiment, if the control unit 32 determines that the number of radio wave anomalies per day on a certain day is equal to or greater than the second threshold, it determines that the state on that day was an abnormal state. On the other hand, if the control unit 32 determines that the number of radio wave anomalies per day on a certain day is less than the second threshold, it determines that the state on that day was a false normal state. Note that in this embodiment, it is assumed that radio wave anomalies occurred 20 or more times per day on the following days among the above-mentioned days. <Number of times radio wave abnormalities occurred> (25) More than 20 radio wave anomalies will occur on August 1, 2023. (26) On August 5, 2023, radio wave abnormalities occurred more than 20 times. (27) More than 20 radio wave anomalies occurred on August 8, 2023. (28) On August 9, 2023, radio wave abnormalities occurred more than 20 times. (29) More than 20 radio wave anomalies occurred on August 10, 2023. (30) On August 22, 2023, radio wave abnormalities occurred more than 20 times. (31) On August 25, 2023, radio wave abnormalities occurred more than 20 times. (32) More than 20 radio wave anomalies occurred on August 26, 2023. (33) More than 20 radio wave anomalies occurred on August 27, 2023.

[0071] In this embodiment, the information processing system 100 executes the information processing method illustrated in FIG. 2 and the information processing method illustrated in FIG. 6. Therefore, in this embodiment, the information processing method illustrated in FIG. 6 is executed instead of the information processing method illustrated in FIG. 3. As described above, the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the above points, but is basically the same as the first embodiment in other respects. Note that in this embodiment, the information processing method illustrated in FIG. 6 is executed when a user performs an input operation on the operation unit 42 of the user terminal device 4 after the information processing method illustrated in FIG. 2 is executed. Also, in this embodiment, the information processing method illustrated in FIG. 2 is executed every day before the information processing system 100 executes the information processing method illustrated in FIG. 6.

[0072] The information processing method executed by the information processing system 100 from when various information is transmitted from the multiple transmitters 1 to the receiving device 2 until the receiving device 2 generates interference information is the same as that of the first embodiment in this embodiment.

[0073] STEP 31 to STEP 34 are the same as STEP 11 to STEP 14 in the first embodiment.

[0074] The control unit 32 of the information processing device 3 determines for each day whether interference of 10 dBμV or more has occurred 10 or more times in a given day, based on the interference information including the first interference information received from the receiving device 2 (STEP 35). If the number of times of interference of 10 dBμV or more in a given day is 10 or more (YES in STEP 35), the control unit 32 generates first excess information (STEP 36). If the number of times of interference of 10 dBμV or more in a given day is less than 10 (NO in STEP 35), the control unit 32 executes STEP 43.

[0075] After generating the first excessive information, the control unit 32 determines whether the number of radio wave abnormalities per day is 20 or more (STEP 37). If the control unit 32 determines that the number of radio wave abnormalities per day is 20 or more (YES in STEP 37), it determines that the state on that day was an abnormal state (STEP 38). In this case, the control unit 32 also generates second excessive information. On the other hand, if the control unit 32 determines that the number of radio wave abnormalities per day is less than 20 (NO in STEP 37), it determines that the state on that day was a false normal state (STEP 39).

[0076] STEP 40 is the same as STEP 18 in the first embodiment.

[0077] The control unit 32 determines whether interference impact information has been generated for days on which the number of times of interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred 10 or more times during a predetermined period (in this embodiment, the period from August 1 to August 31, 2023) (STEP 41). If the control unit 32 determines that interference impact information has been generated for all days on which the number of times of interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred 10 or more times (YES in STEP 41), the control unit 32 executes STEP 45. On the other hand, if the control unit 32 determines that interference impact information has not been generated for at least some of the days on which the number of times of interference of 10 dBμV or more occurred 10 or more times (NO in STEP 41), the control unit 32 returns to STEP 37.

[0078] STEP 42 to STEP 47 are the same as STEP 20 to STEP 25 in the first embodiment. However, in this embodiment, the analysis information generated by the control unit 32 in STEP 45 is the information exemplified in FIG. 7. As exemplified in FIG. 7, the analysis information according to this embodiment includes information indicating a date, second specification information (information indicating a channel "1001"), second identification information (information indicating a hospital ID "1"), first excess information (corresponding to "Y1" in FIG. 7), second excess information (corresponding to "Y2" in FIG. 7), and overall evaluation information. Note that the overall evaluation information in this embodiment is information based on the first interference information and radio wave condition information, and indicates whether the condition on the target day is a normal condition, a false normal condition, or an abnormal condition. In this embodiment as well, the overall evaluation for a normal condition is grade A, the overall evaluation for a false normal condition is grade B, and the overall evaluation for an abnormal condition is grade C. For example, the state on August 2, 2023 is normal, so the overall rating on that day is A. The state on August 3, 2023 is pseudo-normal, so the overall rating on that day is B. The state on August 1, 2023 is abnormal, so the overall rating on that day is C.

[0079] In this embodiment, the display unit 43 of the user terminal device 4 displays an image G2 (see FIG. 8) based on the display data generated by the control unit 32 in STEP 45.

[0080] Image G2 will now be described with reference to FIG. 8. The horizontal axis in image G2 represents the date. The days corresponding to the solid lines in FIG. 8 (the days shown in (11) to (24) above) indicate days on which the number of interference events of 10 dBμV or more per day is 10 or more. The days corresponding to the dashed lines in FIG. 8 (the days shown in (25) to (33) above) indicate days on which the number of radio wave anomalies per day is 20 or more. The days corresponding to the dashed lines in FIG. 8 (the days shown in (11) to (24) above and also shown in (25) to (33) above) indicate days on which the number of interference events of 10 dBμV or more per day is 10 or more and the number of radio wave anomalies per day is 20 or more. By visually checking image G2, the user can ascertain, for example, days when there is interference of 10 dBμV or more and radio wave abnormalities, and days when there is interference of 10 dBμV or more but no radio wave abnormalities. Also, by visually checking image G2, the user can perform analysis such as identifying the week (e.g., the second week) or day of the week in a certain month when interference of 10 dBμV or more is likely to occur.

[0081] In this embodiment, the information processing system 100 also provides the same effects as in the first embodiment.

[0082] The above-described embodiments are provided to facilitate understanding of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure, which may be modified or improved without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

[0083] In the above embodiment, the transmitter 1 transmits the biometric information, the first identification information and the first identification information, or the biometric information and the first identification information to the receiving device 2, but it may transmit the first identification information and the first identification information, or the first identification information to the receiving device 2. In other words, the transmitter 1 does not have to transmit the biometric information to the receiving device 2.

[0084] In the above embodiment, the receiving device 2 and the information processing device 3 are separate devices, but the receiving device 2 and the information processing device 3 may be the same device. In this case, since the receiving device 2 and the information processing device 3 are the same device, there is no need to prepare the receiving device 2 and the information processing device 3 separately.

[0085] In the above embodiment, the control unit 23 generates analysis information based on no-interference information for a predetermined period, or interference information (first interference information) and interference impact information for a predetermined period, but may instead generate analysis information based on no-interference information for a predetermined period, or interference information for a predetermined period. Also, in the above embodiment, the display data is generated based on no-interference information for a predetermined period, or interference information and interference impact information for a predetermined period, but may instead be generated based on no-interference information for a predetermined period, or interference information for a predetermined period.

[0086] In the above embodiment, the control unit 23 of the receiving device 2 does not need to execute STEP 03 and STEP 08. In this case, the interference information generated by the control unit 23 indicates that interference has occurred, but does not indicate whether the strength of the radio waves when the biological information of the subject is received from the transmitter 1 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (for example, 10 dBμV).

[0087] In the above embodiment, the display data may include the subject's biological waveform information transmitted by the transmitter 1 to the receiving device 2. In this case, for example, if the biological waveform information includes noise waves or triangular waves, the user can visually recognize that interference occurs between the channels of the transmitters 1 by using the display data including such biological waveform information.

[0088] In the above embodiment, the control unit 32 of the information processing device 3 generates radio wave condition information based on the biological information and date and time information received from the receiving device 2. However, for example, the control unit 23 of the receiving device 2 may generate radio wave condition information based on the biological information received from the transmitter 1 and date and time information indicating the date and time when the biological information was transmitted from the transmitter 1 to the receiving device 2. In this case, the receiving device 2 transmits interference information and radio wave condition information to the information processing device 3. Then, the information processing device 3 generates interference impact information based on the interference information and radio wave condition information received from the receiving device 2.

[0089] In the above embodiment, the control unit 32 generates analysis information based on the first interference information and the interference impact information, but it may also generate analysis information based on, for example, the first interference information and the second interference information, or the second interference information.

[0090] As described above, the present specification discloses the following: (1) An information processing system comprising a plurality of transmitters and a receiving device capable of communicating with the transmitters, the transmitter is capable of transmitting to the receiving device at least first specification information for specifying a communication path used when the transmitter transmits information to the receiving device using radio waves, and first identification information for specifying the transmitter; the receiving device pre-stores second identification information for identifying a communication path that the receiving device can use and second identification information for identifying the transmitter that can communicate with the receiving device, When the communication path identified by the first identification information and the communication path identified by the second identification information match, the receiving device: receiving the first specific information from the transmitter but not receiving the first identification information; or an information processing system that generates interference information indicating that interference is occurring when the transmitter identified by the first identification information does not match the transmitter identified by the second identification information.
