[0010] [Embodiment 1] <Biometric Information Management System> FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a biological information management system 1 that manages biological information (vital information) indicating the condition of a person being measured by a measurement terminal 2. The biological information includes, for example, the person's temperature (unit: °C), blood vessel information, and heart rate information. The blood vessel information may be, for example, a numerical representation of the load on the blood vessels. The heart rate information may be a numerical representation of the speed of blood flow from the heart.

[0011] 1, the biological information management system 1 includes, for example, a measurement terminal 2 and a server 4. The measurement terminal 2 and the server 4 are connected to each other via, for example, a network so as to be able to communicate various information (data). The server 4 functions as an external device of the measurement terminal 2.

[0012] <server> The server 4 is a device that manages the biological information measured by the measurement terminal 2. The server 4 includes, for example, a server control unit 41 and a server storage device .

[0013] The server control unit 41 performs overall control of the server 4. For example, the server control unit 41 determines whether the measurement value indicated by the biological information currently measured by the measurement terminal 2 has changed by a predetermined value or more compared to the measurement value indicated by the biological information previously measured by the measurement terminal 2. When multiple pieces of biological information previously measured are stored in the server storage device 42, the server control unit 41 compares the biological information currently measured by the measurement terminal 2 with at least one of the multiple pieces of biological information previously measured by the measurement terminal 2. The previously measured biological information to be compared with the currently measured biological information is information about the subject who is the source of the currently measured biological information.

[0014] The server storage device 42 stores various programs and various information used by the server control unit 41. For example, the server storage device 42 stores biometric information measured by the measurement terminal 2 in association with terminal identification information (terminal ID) that identifies the measurement terminal 2. The server storage device 42 also stores biometric information measured by the measurement terminal 2 in association with biometric identification information (name ID) that indicates the person whose biometric information was measured. The server 4 (specifically, the server storage device 42) functions as a storage device that stores biometric information.

[0015] <Measurement device> The measurement terminal 2 is a terminal that measures the biometric information of the person being measured. The measurement terminal 2 also has a function of displaying the measured biometric information. This allows the person operating the measurement terminal 2 or the person being measured to visually confirm the measured biometric information. The measurement terminal 2 is used, for example, in welfare facilities such as elderly care facilities, fitness gyms, sports clubs, or cultural schools. Hereinafter, the person using the measurement terminal 2 or the person being measured may also be referred to as a user.

[0016] (Appearance of the measuring device) Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the appearance of the measurement terminal 2. In Fig. 2, reference numeral 101 indicates the appearance of the measurement terminal 2 when viewed from the front side, and reference numeral 102 indicates the appearance of the measurement terminal 2 when viewed from the rear side. As shown in Fig. 2, the measurement terminal 2 has a display device 24 on the front side, and an imaging device 21 and a temperature measuring device 22 on the rear side. The measurement terminal 2 also has an input device 23 on a side of the measurement terminal 2.

[0017] The display device 24 is a device that displays various types of information. For example, the display device 24 displays a measurement screen (measurement image) for measuring the biological information of the subject, and a measurement result screen (measurement result image) for displaying the measurement results of the biological information of the subject.

[0018] The imaging device 21 is a device that captures an image of an object. The imaging device 21 captures an image of the person being measured or the person measuring the object. The temperature measuring device 22 is a device that measures the surface temperature of the object. The temperature measuring device 22 measures the surface temperature of the person being measured as the object. The temperature measuring device 22 may be, for example, an infrared sensor.

[0019] The measurement terminal 2 is equipped with an imaging device 21 and a temperature measuring device 22, and is therefore capable of measuring the biological information of the person being measured without contacting the person being measured. Furthermore, by providing the imaging device 21 and the temperature measuring device 22 on the rear side, the person being measured can obtain an image and temperature of the person being measured while viewing the display device 24. However, the imaging device 21 and the temperature measuring device 22 may also be provided on the front side. In this case, the person being measured can obtain an image and temperature of themselves while viewing the display device 24. Therefore, in this case, the person being measured and the person being measured are the same person.

[0020] The input device 23 is a device that accepts input operations from a user. In the example of Fig. 2, the input device 23 includes an up / down key 231 that accepts an operation to adjust the volume, and a power key 232 that switches the power of the measurement terminal 2 on and off.

[0021] (Other configurations of the measurement device) As shown in FIG. 1, the measurement terminal 2 includes, in addition to the above-mentioned devices, a communication device 25, a detection device 26, a charging circuit 27, a terminal storage device 28, and a terminal control unit 29, for example.

[0022] The communication device 25 is a device that performs communication between the measurement terminal 2 and the server 4. The detection device 26 is a device that detects the attitude of the measurement terminal 2. The detection device 26 may be, for example, a gyro sensor or an optical sensor.

[0023] The charging circuit 27 is a circuit that charges the measuring terminal 2. Specifically, the charging circuit 27 is a circuit that charges a battery (not shown) of the measuring terminal 2. The charging circuit 27 receives a current supply from outside the measuring terminal 2 and starts charging the battery.

[0024] The terminal storage device 28 stores various programs and various information used by the terminal control unit 29. In this embodiment, the terminal storage device 28 stores, for example, a registration ID received from the server 4. The registration ID is identification information used by the server 4 to manage the biological information for each measurement terminal 2 that measures the biological information and for each subject who is the source of the biological information.

[0025] The terminal control unit 29 comprehensively controls the measurement terminal 2. Details of the terminal control unit 29 will be described later.

[0026] (Terminal control unit) The terminal control unit 29 includes, for example, an analysis unit 292 , a determination unit 293 , a display control unit 294 , a communication control unit 295 , a mark state management unit 296 , and an information management unit 297 .

[0027] The analysis unit 292 estimates biological information such as blood vessel information and heart rate information by analyzing the image of the subject captured by the imaging device 21. Known techniques can be used to analyze the image of the subject and estimate the blood vessel information, heart rate information, etc., by, for example, statistical processing. The analysis unit 292 also estimates the subject's temperature from the subject's surface temperature measured by the temperature measurement device 22. Known techniques can be used to estimate the subject's temperature.

[0028] The determination unit 293 determines whether the measurement terminal 2 has entered a specific state. For example, when the detection operation or determination process shown in the following (1) to (4) is performed, the determination unit 293 determines that the measurement terminal 2 has entered a specific state.

[0029] (1) When the detection device 26 detects that the measurement terminal 2 has been placed. If the detection device 26 is, for example, a gyro sensor, the detection device 26 detects that the measurement terminal 2 has been placed when the angular velocity of the measurement terminal 2 becomes 0 or a value close to 0. Furthermore, if the detection device 26 is, for example, an optical sensor, the detection device 26 detects that the measurement terminal 2 has been placed when the received light intensity is within a predetermined range, assuming that it has detected reflected light from the placement surface. The optical sensor is provided in the measurement terminal 2, for example, at a position where the light intensity is outside the predetermined range when the measurement terminal 2 is being used by a user, but is within the predetermined range when the measurement terminal 2 is placed on the placement surface. When the measurement terminal 2 is being used, for example, refers to a state where the measurement terminal 2 is being held by the user's hand.

[0030] (2) When the detection device 26 detects that vibration has been applied to the measuring terminal 2. For example, if the detection device 26 is a gyro sensor, the detection device 26 detects that vibration has been applied to the measuring terminal 2 when the detection device 26 continues to detect a change in a predetermined angular velocity over a predetermined period of time. This allows the detection device 26 to detect the user's action of shaking the measuring terminal 2 (shaking action). The predetermined change in angular velocity and the predetermined period of time here may be set, through experiments or the like, to an amount of change in angular velocity and a time at which a shaking action by the user can be detected. The predetermined change in angular velocity and the predetermined period of time can be changed as appropriate by the user.

[0031] (3) The determination unit 293 determines that the image capturing device 21 has not captured an image of the subject while being able to measure biometric information (for example, the display state of reference numeral 111 in FIG. 4) for a predetermined period of time. This can also be said to be a case where the determination unit 293 determines that no human (face) is captured in the image captured by the image capturing device 21 for a predetermined period of time. The predetermined period of time may be set based on an experiment or the like, and may be a period of time during which it can be estimated that biometric information will not be measured. The predetermined period of time can be changed as appropriate by the user.

[0032] (4) When the charging circuit 27 detects that charging of the measuring terminal 2 has started. For example, when the charging circuit 27 receives power supply from a power supply source, it detects that charging of the measuring terminal 2 has started.

[0033] In this embodiment, the determination unit 293 determines whether the measurement terminal 2 has entered a specific state while it is in a state where it is able to measure biometric information. The state where the measurement terminal 2 is able to measure biometric information refers to, for example, a state from a standby state for measuring biometric information (a state where the imaging device 21 can capture an image of the subject's face; state 111 in FIG. 4) to a state where the measurement results of the biometric information are displayed (state 114 in FIG. 4). However, the determination process by the determination unit 293 is not limited to when the measurement terminal 2 is in a state where it is able to measure biometric information, and may be performed in a state where it is not able to measure biometric information, such as when a setting menu is displayed.

[0034] The display control unit 294 displays various types of information and various screens (images) on the display device 24. In this embodiment, when it is determined that the measurement terminal 2 has entered a specific state, the display control unit 294 displays at least some of the multiple pieces of biometric information measured by the measurement terminal 2 and stored in the server storage device 42 on the display device 24. When it is determined that the measurement terminal 2 has entered a specific state (when the measurement terminal 2 detects a specific state), the display control unit 294 displays a list of biometric information measured in the past on the display device 24. This list display includes not only a display of multiple pieces of biometric information measured in the past, but also a display of one piece.

[0035] The previously measured biometric information displayed in the list is biometric information measured before the determining unit 293 determines that the measuring terminal 2 has entered a specific state. The previously measured biometric information may include information indicating whether or not there has been a change in biometric information measured before the measurement of the biometric information in question. Furthermore, the previously measured biometric information may include information indicating whether or not there has been a change in biometric information measured before the measurement of the biometric information in question, in association with the biometric information measured currently.

[0036] Consider a case where the display control unit 294 displays a list of previously measured biological information when it determines that the measuring terminal 2 has entered a specific state while the biological information is measurable. In this case, the measurable state is maintained until the determination unit 293 performs a determination process. For example, when the measuring terminal 2 continuously measures the biological information of the subject, the display control unit 294 does not display the previously measured biological information. Therefore, the measuring terminal 2 allows the user to visually recognize the previously measured biological information without interfering with the measurement of the biological information. From this perspective, the specific state described above in this embodiment may be an example of a state in which the measuring terminal 2 is presumed not to measure the subject.

[0037] The communication control unit 295 controls the communication device 25 to perform communication between the measurement terminal 2 and the server 4. In this embodiment, the communication control unit 295 transmits the terminal ID and the biological information measured by the measurement terminal 2 to the server 4. Furthermore, when it is determined that the measurement terminal 2 has entered a specific state, the communication control unit 295 acquires the biological information stored in the server 4. This allows the display control unit 294 to display the biological information measured in the past that is stored in the server 4 on the display device 24.

[0038] The mark state management unit 296 determines the state of the mark button BO2 (see FIG. 6). The state of the mark button BO2 is switched by a user's input operation on the mark button BO2. The mark button BO2 is set for each measured piece of biometric information. By managing the state of the mark button BO2, the display control unit 294 can display only the biometric information for which the mark button BO2 is in the ON state. For example, by keeping the state of the mark button BO2 corresponding to the biometric information that the user wants to view later in the ON state, the user can display only the biometric information that the user wants to view on the display device 24.

[0039] The information management unit 297 stores or deletes various types of information in the terminal storage device 28. In this embodiment, the information management unit 297 stores or deletes, for example, a terminal ID.

[0040] <Example of measuring biological information> First, an example of the measurement process of biological information will be described. Reference numeral 105 in Fig. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the process of the terminal control unit 29 when measuring biological information, and reference numeral 106 is a flowchart showing an example of the process of the server control unit 41 when measuring biological information. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the transition of the display screen in the measurement mode of biological information. In the display screen in this specification, "XXXX" indicates the name of the person being measured, and "YYY" + "number" ("YYY1") indicates the name of the person being measured. Different numbers indicate different people being measured.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 4, when the measurement terminal 2 is switched to the biometric information measurement mode, the display control unit 294 displays a screen on the display device 24 indicating that the biometric information is ready for measurement, as indicated by reference numeral 111 in FIG. 4. In this state, the imaging device 21 is ready to capture an image of the subject's face. The terminal control unit 29 analyzes the image captured by the imaging device 21 to begin detecting the subject's face (state indicated by reference numeral 112 in FIG. 4). The analysis unit 292 begins measuring the biometric information upon detecting the subject's face. During the measurement, a predetermined frame is displayed to keep the image of the subject's face in a predetermined position, in order to facilitate successful measurement (state indicated by reference numeral 113 in FIG. 4). At this time, the subject is authenticated based on the image of the subject's face. This authentication process is performed by the server control unit 41, but may also be performed by the terminal control unit 29.

[0042] 3, in the measurement terminal 2, when the analysis unit 292 completes measurement of the subject's biological information (SA1), the communication control unit 295 transmits the measured biological information (measurement results) to the server 4 (SA2). In addition to the measured biological information, the communication control unit 295 may transmit to the server 4, for example, information indicating the terminal ID of the measurement terminal 2, the subject's name ID, and the measurement time.

[0043] After processing step SA2, the communication control unit 295 determines whether the registration ID assigned to the biometric information and the analysis result of the biometric information have been received from the server 4 (SA3). That is, the communication control unit 295 waits to receive the registration ID and analysis result related to the measured biometric information (if NO in SA3).

[0044] In the server 4, the server control unit 41 determines whether the biological information measured by the measurement terminal 2 has been received (SB1). That is, the server control unit 41 waits for reception of the biological information measured by the measurement terminal 2 (if NO in SB1).

[0045] When the server control unit 41 receives biometric information from the measurement terminal 2 (YES in SB1), it acquires a registration ID from the database stored in the server storage device 42 and registers the received biometric information to the registration ID (SB2). That is, the server control unit 41 associates the received biometric information with the registration ID and stores it in the database of the server storage device 42. The server control unit 41 also associates the terminal ID, name ID, and measurement time of the measurement terminal 2, which were received together with the biometric information, with the registration ID and stores it. Note that the registration ID does not necessarily need to be stored in the database in advance. The server control unit 41 may generate a new registration ID every time it receives biometric information from the measurement terminal 2.

[0046] The server control unit 41 also determines whether the measurement value indicated by the received biometric information has changed by a predetermined value or more from the measurement value indicated by the biometric information associated with the received name ID among the biometric information stored in the server storage device 42 (SB3). The server control unit 41 may compare the measurement value indicated by the received biometric information with the measurement values ​​indicated by all the biometric information associated with the received name ID, or may compare it only with the measurement value indicated by any of the biometric information (e.g., the biometric information measured most recently). Note that the processes of steps SB2 and SB3 may be performed in parallel or in reverse order.

[0047] In this way, every time the server control unit 41 receives biological information, it associates the biological information with a registration ID and stores the biological information in the server storage device 42. Reference numeral 122 in Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a database stored in the server storage device 42. As indicated by reference numeral 122, in this embodiment, the terminal ID of the measurement terminal 2 that measured (sent) the biological information and the name ID of the person being measured who is the source of the biological information are stored in association with the registration ID. In addition, the measurement time, the measured biological information (temperature, blood vessel information, heart rate information in the example of Fig. 5), and information (change information) indicating whether or not there has been a change in biological information measured in the past are stored.

[0048] The server control unit 41 transmits the registration ID associated with the received biological information and change information about the biological information as the analysis result of the biological information to the measurement terminal 2 (SB4). In the measurement terminal 2, when the communication control unit 295 receives the registration ID and analysis result for the measured biological information (YES in SA3), the display control unit 294 displays the biological information and analysis result on the display device 24. The display control unit 294 displays a measurement result screen as shown by reference numeral 114 in FIG. 4 on the display device 24 (SA4). In the example of reference numeral 114 in FIG. 4, change information is displayed in areas AR1 and AR2, and the measured biological information is displayed in area AR3. In this example, an example of displaying information indicating no change is shown as change information.

[0049] In this embodiment, when a user operation on the measurement completion button BO1 is accepted, the display control unit 294 switches the measurement result screen to a measurement screen (a screen that stands by for measurement of biological information) indicated by reference numeral 111. At this time, the information management unit 297 deletes the measured biological information that is temporarily stored in the terminal storage device 28 for display. That is, in this embodiment, once the terminal control unit 29 has finished displaying the measurement result screen (cleared it once), the terminal control unit 29 is configured so that the measured biological information cannot be displayed again unless the measurement terminal 2 is in a specific state.

[0050] <Example of changing the mark status> Next, an example of changing the state of the mark button BO2 will be described. Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing of the terminal control unit 29 when changing the state of the mark button BO2.

[0051] In a state where the display control unit 294 is displaying the measured biological information (measurement results) on the display device 24 (SA11), the mark state management unit 296 determines whether or not a user's input operation on the mark button BO2 has been accepted (whether or not the mark button BO2 has been pressed) (SA12). The display state when the mark state management unit 296 determines whether or not the input operation has been accepted may be a state where the measurement result screen shown by reference numeral 114 in Fig. 4 is displayed, or a state where a list screen (a screen shown by reference numeral 126 in Fig. 9; a list image) described later is displayed.

[0052] When the mark state management unit 296 receives the input operation for one piece of biometric information (YES in SA12), it determines whether the current state of the mark button BO2 is off (SA13). If the current state of the mark button BO2 is off, the mark state management unit 296 switches the state of the mark button BO2 to on (SA14). On the other hand, if the current state of the mark button BO2 is on, the mark state management unit 296 switches the state of the mark button BO2 to off (SA15). Reference numeral 116 in FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the measurement result screen when the mark button BO2 is off, and reference numeral 117 is a diagram showing an example of the measurement result screen when the mark button BO2 is on.

[0053] After the processing of steps SA14 and SA15, the mark state management unit 296 determines whether the display control unit 294 has finished displaying the measurement result screen or list screen (SA16). If the mark state management unit 296 has not accepted an input operation on the mark button BO2 (NO in SA12), the process also proceeds to step SA16. If the display control unit 294 is maintaining the display of the measurement result screen or list screen (NO in SA16), the process proceeds to step SA12. On the other hand, if the display control unit 294 has finished displaying the measurement result screen or list screen (YES in SA16), the information management unit 297 deletes the biometric information temporarily held for display (SA17).

[0054] For example, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the display of the biological information, the display control unit 294 terminates the display of the measurement result screen or the list screen. This makes it possible to avoid the biological information as personal information from being displayed for a long period of time. The predetermined time here may be set to a time that allows the user to understand the content of the displayed biological information, taking into consideration that the biological information is personal information. The predetermined time can be changed by the user as appropriate.

[0055] Additionally, the display control unit 294 may terminate the display of the measurement result screen or the list screen when it receives a user input operation on a back button (including the measurement completion button BO1) displayed on the display screen or when it receives a slide operation on the display screen. Furthermore, the display control unit 294 may terminate the display of the list screen when it determines, based on the detection result of the detection device 26, that the measuring terminal 2 has been lifted from a placed state, or when the charging circuit 27 detects that the power supply from the power supply source has been cut off.

[0056] Furthermore, the mark state management unit 296 determines whether the state of the mark button BO2 is on (SA18). If the mark state management unit 296 determines that the state of the mark button BO2 is on (YES in SA18), the information management unit 297 stores the registration ID of the biometric information corresponding to the mark button BO2 received from the server 4 in the terminal storage device 28 (SA19). On the other hand, if the mark state management unit 296 determines that the state of the mark button BO2 is off (NO in SA18), the information management unit 297 deletes the registration ID corresponding to the mark button BO2 stored in the terminal storage device 28 (SA20). Note that the process of step SA17 and the processes of steps SA18 to SA20 may be performed in parallel or in reverse order.

[0057] In this way, the information management unit 297 can manage the registration ID of the biometric information corresponding to the mark button BO2 in the terminal storage device 28 in accordance with the state of the mark button BO2. Reference numeral 121 in FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a database stored in the terminal storage device 28. As indicated by reference numeral 121, in this embodiment, the terminal ID of the measurement terminal 2 equipped with the terminal storage device 28 and the registration ID of the biometric information corresponding to the mark button BO2 whose state is on (corresponding to the "marked registration ID" of reference numeral 121) are stored. In other words, the information management unit 297 stores only the registration ID of the biometric information corresponding to the mark button BO2 whose state is on in the terminal storage device 28.

[0058] <Example of processing related to displaying the list screen> Next, a processing example relating to the display of the list screen will be described. Fig. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing of the terminal control unit 29 when displaying the list screen. This processing example shows an example of a control method of the measurement terminal 2.

[0059] The determination unit 293 determines whether the measuring terminal 2 has entered a specific state (SA31; determination step). If the measuring terminal 2 is not in a specific state (NO in SA31), the display control unit 294 continues to display the currently displayed screen on the display device 24 (SA39).

[0060] On the other hand, if the determination unit 293 determines that the measurement terminal 2 has entered a specific state (YES in SA31), the communication control unit 295 determines whether the display control unit 294 is currently displaying a measurement result screen (SA32). If the communication control unit 295 determines that the measurement result screen is currently being displayed (YES in SA32), the communication control unit 295 acquires, from the server 4, biological information measured before the determination in step SA31 for the subject who is the measurement source of the biological information displayed on the measurement result screen (SA33). That is, the communication control unit 295 acquires, from the server 4, biological information measured in the past for the subject. Then, the display control unit 294 displays a list of the biological information measured in the past for the subject, acquired by the communication control unit 295, on the display device 24 (SA34; display step).

[0061] In this way, it is assumed that the measurement terminal 2 measures the biological information of a certain person (a specific individual), and the determination unit 293 determines that a specific state has occurred while the display control unit 294 is displaying the measured biological information on the display device 24. In this case, the display control unit 294 displays the biological information of the certain person stored in the server storage device 42 on the display device 24. That is, in this case, the display control unit 294 changes the display from a measurement result screen of the biological information measured this time to a measurement result screen (list screen) that displays a list of biological information measured in the past for the certain person.

[0062] In step SA33, the communication control unit 295 transmits, for example, the terminal ID of the measurement terminal 2 to the server 4. As a result, the communication control unit 295 acquires from the server 4 all of the biometric information stored in the server storage device 42 that is associated with the terminal ID, along with the name ID. The display control unit 294 may display, from the acquired biometric information, a list of only the biometric information that corresponds to the name ID of the subject (the above-mentioned certain subject) whose measured biometric information is being displayed, on the display device 24. Furthermore, the communication control unit 295 may request the server 4 to transmit only the biometric information that corresponds to the name ID of the subject.

[0063] 9 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the transition of the display screen when the measurement terminal 2 enters a specific state. As indicated by reference numeral 125, when the measurement terminal 2 enters a specific state while the measurement result screen of the subject is displayed, the display control unit 294 displays, on the display device 24, a list screen that is a list of biological information previously measured for the subject, as indicated by reference numeral 126.

[0064] After processing step SA34, the display control unit 294 determines whether or not to end the display of the list screen (SA35). In this embodiment, the display control unit 294 determines to end the display of the list screen when the state exemplified in the description of step SA16 in FIG. 5 occurs. If the display control unit 294 does not end the display of the list screen (NO in S35), it maintains the display of the list screen, while if it determines to end the display of the list screen (YES in S35), it ends this processing. At this time, the information management unit 297 deletes the biometric information acquired from the server 4 that is temporarily stored in the terminal storage device 28 for display.

[0065] On the other hand, in step SA32, it is assumed that the communication control unit 295 determines that the display control unit 294 is not currently displaying the measurement result screen (NO in SA32). In this case, the communication control unit 295 acquires from the server 4 the biological information measured before the determination in step SA31 for all subjects who have been subjects for measurement at the measurement terminal 2 (SA36). Then, the display control unit 294 displays a list of the biological information previously measured for each of these subjects acquired by the communication control unit 295 on the display device 24 (SA37; display step).

[0066] In this way, the display control unit 294 performs the following display when the biological information measured for a certain subject is not being displayed on the display device 24. That is, when it is determined that a specific state has been reached, the display control unit 294 displays the biological information for each of the multiple subjects stored in the server storage device 42 on the display device 24.

[0067] In step SA36, the communication control unit 295 transmits, for example, the terminal ID of the measurement terminal 2 to the server 4. As a result, the communication control unit 295 acquires, for example, all of the biometric information stored in the server storage device 42 that is associated with the terminal ID, together with the name ID, from the server 4. The display control unit 294 displays a list of the acquired biometric information on the display device 24 together with the name of the person being measured that corresponds to the name ID.

[0068] 10 is a schematic diagram showing another example of the transition of the display screen when the measurement terminal 2 enters a specific state. As shown by reference numeral 131, it is assumed that the measurement terminal 2 enters a specific state while a measurement screen (e.g., a screen for standby for measurement of biological information) is displayed. In this case, as shown by reference numeral 132, the display control unit 294 displays on the display device 24 a list screen that is a list of biological information previously measured for each of all subjects who have been the subject of measurement at the measurement terminal 2. If there are multiple pieces of biological information previously measured for each subject, multiple pieces of biological information may be displayed for each subject.

[0069] The display control unit 294 determines whether or not to end the display of the list screen (SA38). This process is the same as step SA35, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0070] <Display a list of specified biometric information> The above-described processing is premised on the premise that all of the biological information previously measured for the subject or all of the biological information previously measured for all of the subjects is displayed in a list on the display device 24. However, this is not limiting, and the display control unit 294 may display only designated biological information from among the biological information previously measured on the display device 24.

[0071] Specifically, the display control unit 294 may display at least any one of the following biological information (a) to (d) on the display device 24 from among the plurality of pieces of biological information stored in the server storage device 42. For example, the display control unit 294 may display a menu list on the display device 24 from which the display form of the biological information shown in the following (a) to (d) can be selected. In this case, the display control unit 294 displays the previously measured biological information on the display device 24 in accordance with the display form selected by the user.

[0072] (a) A preset number of pieces of biometric information, which may be set or changed by the user as appropriate.

[0073] (b) Biometric information that is determined to have changed by a predetermined value or more compared with previously measured biological information (biometric information indicating a change).

[0074] (c) Biometric information designated in advance by the user. In this embodiment, the biometric information corresponds to the mark button BO2 in the ON state.

[0075] (d) Biometric information measured within a predetermined time. The predetermined time may be set to a time that is presumably desired by the user for visual confirmation of the biometric information. The predetermined time may be set or changed as appropriate by the user. For example, the predetermined time may be a time from the current time up to eight hours ago.

[0076] In the case of (a), the communication control unit 295 transmits a transmission request for the preset number of pieces of biometric information together with the terminal ID of the measurement terminal 2 to the server 4. As a result, in step SA36 of Fig. 8, the communication control unit 295 acquires (collects) the preset number of pieces of biometric information from the server 4. Then, in step SA37 of Fig. 8, the display control unit 294 displays the acquired biometric information on the display device 24.

[0077] The communication control unit 295 acquires a preset number of pieces of biometric information by, for example, acquiring biometric information stored in the server storage device 42 in order starting from the biometric information whose measurement time is closest to the acquisition time. However, the acquisition method is not limited to this. Which biometric information stored in the server storage device 42 the communication control unit 295 acquires can be arbitrarily set.

[0078] The communication control unit 295 acquires from the server 4 a preset number of pieces of biometric information from among the biometric information of all subjects who have been the subject of measurement at the measurement terminal 2. In this case, the communication control unit 295 may not be able to acquire the biometric information of at least some of all the subjects from the server 4. On the other hand, the communication control unit 295 may acquire a preset number of pieces of biometric information for each name ID associated with the terminal ID. In this case, the communication control unit 295 can acquire a preset number of pieces of biometric information for each of all the subjects.

[0079] The communication control unit 295 may acquire all of the biometric information corresponding to the terminal ID from the server 4 without transmitting the transmission request (search condition) to the server 4. In this case, the display control unit 294 acquires a preset number of pieces of biometric information from the biometric information acquired by the communication control unit 295, and displays the acquired biometric information on the display device 24. The display control unit 294 may acquire a preset number of pieces of biometric information for each name ID.

[0080] Furthermore, in step SA33, the communication control unit 295 requests the server 4 to transmit a preset number of pieces of biometric information corresponding to the name ID of the certain subject. As a result, the communication control unit 295 acquires the preset number of pieces of biometric information for the certain subject from the server 4. Then, in step SA34, the display control unit 294 displays the acquired biometric information on the display device 24.

[0081] Also in step SA33, the communication control unit 295 may acquire all of the biometric information corresponding to the terminal ID from the server 4 without transmitting the request (search condition) to the server 4. In this case, the display control unit 294 may acquire a preset number of pieces of biometric information corresponding to the name ID of the certain subject from the acquired biometric information, and display them on the display device 24.

[0082] If the number of pieces of biometric information to be acquired stored in the server storage device 42 is less than the number set in advance, the communication control unit 295 acquires all of the biometric information. Even if the number is not set in advance, the communication control unit 295 acquires all of the biometric information to be acquired.

[0083] In the case of (b), the communication control unit 295 transmits a request to send biological information indicating the presence of a change together with the terminal ID of the measurement terminal 2 to the server 4. As a result, in step SA36, if there is biological information indicating the presence of a change among the biological information measured in the past for each of all the measurement subjects, the communication control unit 295 acquires the biological information indicating the presence of a change from the server 4. Then, in step SA37, the display control unit 294 displays the acquired biological information on the display device 24.

[0084] The communication control unit 295 may acquire all of the biometric information corresponding to the terminal ID from the server 4 without transmitting the transmission request (search condition) to the server 4. In this case, when the display control unit 294 can acquire biometric information indicating the presence of a change from the biometric information acquired by the communication control unit 295, the display control unit 294 displays the acquired biometric information on the display device 24.

[0085] Furthermore, in step SA33, the communication control unit 295 requests the server 4 to transmit biometric information corresponding to the name ID of the certain subject and indicating the presence of a change. As a result, if there is biometric information indicating the presence of a change among the biometric information measured in the past for the certain subject, the communication control unit 295 acquires the biometric information indicating the presence of a change from the server 4. Then, in step SA34, the display control unit 294 displays the acquired biometric information on the display device 24.

[0086] Also in step SA33, the communication control unit 295 may acquire all of the biological information corresponding to the terminal ID from the server 4 without transmitting the request (search condition) to the server 4. In this case, when the display control unit 294 can acquire, from the biological information acquired by the communication control unit 295, biological information that corresponds to the name ID of the certain subject and indicates that there is a change, the display control unit 294 may display the acquired biological information on the display device 24.

[0087] 11 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a list screen displayed when the measurement terminal 2 is in a specific state. Specifically, the reference numeral 135 shows an example of a list screen on which the display control unit 294 displays the biological information of those subjects for whom biological information indicating the presence of a change has been obtained in step SA37, out of all the subjects.

[0088] In the case of (c), if the registration ID is stored in the terminal storage device 28, the communication control unit 295 transmits the registration ID to the server 4 together with the terminal ID of the measurement terminal 2. As a result, in step SA36, the communication control unit 295 acquires from the server 4 the biometric information corresponding to the mark button BO2 whose state is ON, from among the biometric information measured in the past.

[0089] The communication control unit 295 may acquire all biometric information corresponding to the terminal ID from the server 4 without transmitting to the server 4 a registration ID that functions as a transmission request (search condition) for biometric information corresponding to the mark button BO2 whose state is on. In this case, if the registration ID is stored in the terminal storage device 28, the display control unit 294 acquires the biometric information corresponding to the registration ID from the biometric information acquired by the communication control unit 295, and displays the acquired biometric information on the display device 24.

[0090] 8, the communication control unit 295 requests the server 4 to transmit biometric information corresponding to the terminal ID and registration ID and also corresponding to the name ID of the certain subject. As a result, if there is biometric information corresponding to the mark button BO2 in the on state among the biometric information previously measured for the certain subject, the communication control unit 295 acquires the biometric information from the server 4. Then, in step SA34 of FIG. 8, the display control unit 294 displays the acquired biometric information on the display device 24.

[0091] Also in step SA33, the communication control unit 295 may acquire all of the biometric information corresponding to the terminal ID from the server 4 without transmitting the request (search condition) to the server 4. In this case, when the display control unit 294 can acquire biometric information corresponding to the name ID of the certain subject and the registration ID stored in the terminal storage device 28 from the biometric information acquired by the communication control unit 295, the display control unit 294 may display the acquired biometric information on the display device 24.

[0092] 11 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a list screen displayed when the measurement terminal 2 is in a specific state, and is an example of the list screen displayed in step SA37. Specifically, reference numeral 136 shows an example of a list screen on which the display control unit 294 displays, in step SA37, the biological information of those subjects for whom the display control unit 294 was able to acquire the biological information corresponding to the mark button BO2 whose state is ON, among all the subjects.

[0093] In the case of (d), the communication control unit 295 transmits a request to send biological information whose measurement time is within the predetermined time together with the terminal ID of the measurement terminal 2 to the server 4. As a result, in step SA36, the communication control unit 295 acquires biological information whose measurement time is within the predetermined time from the server 4. Then, in step SA37, the display control unit 294 displays the acquired biological information on the display device 24.

[0094] The communication control unit 295 may acquire all of the biometric information corresponding to the terminal ID from the server 4 without transmitting the transmission request to the server 4. In this case, the display control unit 294 acquires biometric information whose measurement time is within a predetermined time period from the biometric information acquired by the communication control unit 295, and displays the acquired biometric information on the display device 24.

[0095] Furthermore, in step SA33, the communication control unit 295 requests the server 4 to transmit biometric information that corresponds to the name ID of the certain person being measured and whose measurement time is within a predetermined time period. As a result, the communication control unit 295 acquires, from the server 4, biometric information about the certain person being measured and whose measurement time is within the predetermined time period. Then, in step SA34, the display control unit 294 displays the acquired biometric information on the display device 24. However, the communication control unit 295 may acquire all biometric information corresponding to the terminal ID from the server 4, and if the display control unit 294 can acquire, from the acquired biometric information, biometric information that corresponds to the name ID of the certain person being measured and whose measurement time is within the predetermined time period, the acquired biometric information may be displayed on the display device 24.

[0096] 12 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a list screen displaying biological information measured at a predetermined time. Reference numeral 141 shows an example of a list screen displaying biological information measured at a predetermined time among biological information previously measured for all the subjects. Reference numeral 142 shows an example of a list screen displaying biological information measured at a predetermined time among biological information previously measured for a certain subject.

[0097] In this way, the display control unit 294 displays only the designated biological information of the biological information stored in the server storage device 42 for the one or all of the subjects on the display device 24. Therefore, depending on the form of designation, the display control unit 294 may not display the biological information in the list display of the biological information. Also, the display control unit 294 may not display the biological information for all of the subjects, but may display the biological information for some of them.

[0098] The display control unit 294 may display only the biometric information indicated in any one of (a) to (d) above, or may display biometric information relating to a combination of two or more of (a) to (d) above (e.g., a preset number of pieces of biometric information indicating the presence of a change).

[0099] <Effects> When the judgment unit 293 judges that the measurement terminal 2 has entered a specific state, the display control unit 294 displays, on the display device 24, at least a portion of the multiple pieces of biometric information measured by the measurement terminal 2 and stored in the server storage device 42.

[0100] If the measurement terminal 2 does not have the above-mentioned function of displaying previously measured biological information in response to the detection of a specific condition, the measurement results of the currently measured biological information cannot be obtained from the storage device after the display of the measurement result screen has ended. Furthermore, the measurement terminal 2 cannot obtain not only the current measurement result but also measurement results of previously measured biological information from the storage device. Furthermore, the measurement terminal 2 cannot obtain from the storage device the measurement results of all subjects whose biological information has been measured. Therefore, the measurement terminal 2 cannot display the biological information on the display device 24 after the display of the measurement result screen has ended. Therefore, the user cannot look back and view previously measured biological information on the measurement terminal 2 after the display of the measurement result screen has ended.

[0101] On the other hand, the measurement terminal 2 of this embodiment has the above-mentioned functions. Therefore, the measurement terminal 2 can easily display previously measured biological information on the display device 24 even after the display of the measurement result screen has finished. Therefore, the user can visually check previously measured biological information via the measurement terminal 2 that measures the biological information. Therefore, the convenience of the measurement terminal 2 is improved.

[0102] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the measurement terminal 2 can acquire previously measured biometric information stored in the server 4 by transmitting at least the terminal ID to the server 4. Therefore, the measurement terminal 2 can display previously measured biometric information on the display device 24 without storing the measured biometric information in the terminal storage device 28. Therefore, even when a list of previously measured biometric information is displayed via the measurement terminal 2, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the biometric information will be viewed by a third party or leaked via the measurement terminal 2. Therefore, the measurement terminal 2 can display previously measured biometric information on the display device 24 while protecting the biometric information, which is personal information.

[0103] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in order to acquire biometric information corresponding to the mark button BO2 whose state is ON from the server 4, the measurement terminal 2 stores the registration ID corresponding to the biometric information in the terminal storage device 28. Only the registration ID corresponding to the biometric information is stored in the terminal storage device 28. That is, the measurement terminal 2 deletes from the terminal storage device 28 the registration ID corresponding to the mark button BO2 whose state has changed from ON to OFF, even if the terminal ID is stored in the terminal storage device 28. Therefore, it is possible to avoid storing information related to the biometric information, which is personal information, in the terminal storage device 28 as much as possible.

[0104] The specific state that triggers the display of previously measured biological information includes the above-mentioned states (1) to (4). In this case, the measurement terminal 2 can display previously measured biological information when the state of the measurement terminal 2 is such that it is assumed that the measurement subject will not be measured.

[0105] For example, when the state (1) is reached, the display control unit 294 displays previously measured biological information. In this case, since the measurement terminal 2 continuously measures the biological information of the subject, the display control unit 294 does not display the previously measured biological information while the user continues to hold the measurement terminal 2. Therefore, the measurement terminal 2 can display the biological information without interfering with the measurement of the biological information.

[0106] <Enlarged display example> Fig. 13 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the transition of the display screen when previously measured biological information is enlarged and displayed. Reference numeral 145 in Fig. 13 shows an example of a list screen of previously measured biological information for all the subjects, and reference numeral 146 shows an example of a list screen of previously measured biological information for one subject.

[0107] In the display states of reference numerals 145 and 146, when a user input operation (e.g., tap operation) is received for one piece of biometric information, the display control unit 294 enlarges and displays the biometric information as shown by reference numeral 147. The portions enclosed by dotted lines in reference numerals 145 and 146 are an example of one piece of biometric information. This allows the display control unit 294 to display the biometric information that the user wants to view in a way that makes it easy for the user to view.

[0108] [Embodiment 2] Other embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below. For ease of explanation, the same reference numerals will be used to designate components having the same functions as those described in the above embodiment, and the description thereof will not be repeated. The same applies to the following embodiments.

[0109] For example, when the measurement of the biological information is not performed normally, or when the imaging device 21 or the temperature measuring device 22 malfunctions, a value outside the allowable range of the measurement value indicated by the biological information may be measured. In such cases, the measured biological information will contain an abnormal value. When the measured biological information contains an abnormal value, the measuring terminal 2 includes information indicating the abnormal value in the biological information and transmits it to the server 4, whereby the biological information is stored in the server storage device 42.

[0110] When the biological information to be displayed includes biological information containing an abnormal value, the display control unit 294 may include the biological information in a list screen and display it on the display device 24. In this case, for example, as shown in Figs. 15 and 16 described later, for the biological information showing an abnormal value, "E" is displayed instead of a measurement value.

[0111] [Embodiment 3] 14 is a block diagram showing an example of a biological information management system 1A. The biological information management system 1A differs from the biological information management system 1 in that it includes a measurement terminal 2A that includes a terminal control unit 29A. The terminal control unit 29A includes an abnormality determination unit 299 in addition to the functions of the terminal control unit 29.

[0112] The abnormality determination unit 299 determines whether or not any of the plurality of pieces of biological information stored in the server storage device 42 includes an abnormal value. For example, the abnormality determination unit 299 determines whether or not any of the plurality of pieces of biological information, the measurement time of which is within a predetermined time period, includes an abnormal value.

[0113] When it is determined that the measurement terminal 2 has entered a specific state and that the plurality of pieces of biometric information includes biometric information containing an abnormal value, the display control unit 294 displays the biometric information on the display device 24. For example, when some of the plurality of pieces of biometric information whose measurement times are within a predetermined time include abnormal values, the display control unit 294 may display only the biometric information containing abnormal values ​​on the display device 24, and not display the biometric information that was measured normally. On the other hand, the display control unit 294 may display both the biometric information containing abnormal values ​​and the biometric information that was measured normally on the display device 24.

[0114] Fig. 15 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a list screen when the biometric information measured in the past for all the subjects includes biometric information containing abnormal values. Fig. 16 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a list screen when the biometric information measured in the past for a certain subject includes biometric information containing abnormal values. Reference numerals 151 and 155 show examples of list screens that display both biometric information containing abnormal values ​​and biometric information that was measured normally among multiple pieces of biometric information measured within a predetermined time period. Reference numerals 152 and 156 show examples of list screens that display only biometric information containing abnormal values ​​among multiple pieces of biometric information measured within a predetermined time period.

[0115] Fig. 17 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing of the terminal control unit 29A when displaying the list screen. This processing example shows an example of a control method of the measurement terminal 2A. Of the processing shown in Fig. 17, the same processing as the processing shown in Fig. 8 will not be described here.

[0116] If the display control unit 294 is displaying the measurement result screen (YES in SA32), the abnormality determination unit 299 determines whether or not there is any biological information containing an abnormal value among the biological information whose measurement time is within a predetermined time period (SA41).

[0117] For example, when the communication control unit 295 acquires all the biological information corresponding to the terminal ID from the server 4, the abnormality determination unit 299 determines whether the acquired biological information includes biological information that corresponds to the name ID of the certain subject, that was measured within a predetermined time period, and that contains an abnormal value. Also, when the communication control unit 295 transmits to the server 4 a transmission request for biological information that was measured within a predetermined time period, together with the name ID and terminal ID of the certain subject, the abnormality determination unit 299 determines whether the acquired biological information includes biological information that contains an abnormal value.

[0118] When the abnormality determination unit 299 determines that there is biological information containing an abnormal value among the biological information whose measurement time is within a predetermined time (YES in SA41), the display device 24 displays a list of the biological information of the subject whose measurement time is within the predetermined time (SA42). As described above, when the biological information to be displayed includes biological information containing an abnormal value and biological information that was measured normally, the display control unit 294 may display both of them on the display device 24, or may display only the biological information containing an abnormal value. Whether to display both of the biological information or only the biological information containing an abnormal value may be set in advance or may be changeable by the user.

[0119] Furthermore, if the display control unit 294 is not currently displaying the measurement result screen (NO in SA32), the abnormality determination unit 299 determines whether or not there is any biological information containing abnormal values ​​among the biological information whose measurement time is within a predetermined period of time (SA43).

[0120] For example, when the communication control unit 295 acquires all biometric information corresponding to a terminal ID from the server 4, the abnormality determination unit 299 determines whether the acquired biometric information includes biometric information whose measurement time is within a predetermined time and contains an abnormal value. Also, when the communication control unit 295 transmits to the server 4, together with the terminal ID, a transmission request for biometric information whose measurement time is within a predetermined time, the abnormality determination unit 299 determines whether the acquired biometric information includes biometric information whose measurement time is within a predetermined time.

[0121] If the abnormality determination unit 299 determines that there is abnormal biological information among the biological information whose measurement time is within a predetermined time period (YES in SA43), the display unit 299 displays a list of the biological information of the subjects whose biological information including abnormal values ​​was measured (SA44). Specifically, consider a case where the biological information of some of the subjects includes abnormal values, while the biological information of the remaining subjects does not include abnormal values. In this case, the display control unit 294 displays the biological information of the some of the subjects on the display unit 24, but does not display the biological information of the remaining subjects on the display unit 24. As in the case of displaying the biological information of a certain subject, the display control unit 294 may display both the biological information including abnormal values ​​and the normally measured biological information of the subject whose biological information is to be displayed, or may display only the biological information including abnormal values.

[0122] When the abnormality determination unit 299 determines that there is no biological information containing an abnormal value among the biological information whose measurement time is within the predetermined time (NO in SA41, NO in SA43), the terminal control unit 29A ends this process. That is, in this embodiment, when the biological information to be displayed does not include biological information containing an abnormal value and includes only normally measured biological information, the display control unit 294 does not display the normally measured biological information on the display device 24.

[0123] In this embodiment, the subject of the determination of whether or not an abnormal value is included is biological information whose measurement time is within a predetermined time period, but this is not limited to this. For example, the subject of the determination may include biological information whose measurement time is outside the predetermined time period. Furthermore, for example, the subject of the determination may be biological information that indicates at least one of the above (a) (a pre-set number of pieces of biological information), (b) (biological information indicating a change), and (c) (biological information corresponding to the mark button BO2 whose state is ON).

[0124] <Effects> In this embodiment, the terminal control unit 29A displays the previously measured biological information including the abnormal value when the biological information includes an abnormal value among multiple previously measured biological information. This allows the measurement terminal 2A to make the user aware of whether the previous measurements were performed normally. Furthermore, the measurement terminal 2A can prompt the user to measure the biological information of the subject who is the source of the biological information including the abnormal value again.

[0125] In this embodiment, the predetermined time may be set to a time when it is considered effective to measure again if the measured biological information contains an abnormal value, for example, in a situation where biological information is measured periodically. For example, if the biological information measured in the morning contains an abnormal value, the predetermined time may be set to a time when it is possible to prompt the user to measure biological information that replaces the abnormal biological information by the afternoon measurement.

[0126] [Embodiment 4] In the above-described embodiment, previously measured biological information is stored in the server storage device 42. In this embodiment, the biological information measured in the past is also stored in the terminal storage device 28, which is different from the biological information management system according to the above-described embodiment. That is, the terminal storage device 28 of this embodiment functions as an example of a storage device that stores previously measured biological information. The biological information management system according to this embodiment will be described using the biological information management system 1 shown in embodiment 1 (FIG. 1).

[0127] <Example of measuring biological information> An example of the measurement process of biological information in this embodiment will be described. Reference numeral 161 in Fig. 18 is a flowchart showing an example of the process of the terminal control unit 29 when measuring biological information, and reference numeral 162 is a flowchart showing an example of the process of the server control unit 41 when measuring biological information. Descriptions of the same content as those explained in Fig. 3 will be omitted here.

[0128] In the measurement terminal 2, after processing of step SA2, the communication control unit 295 determines whether the analysis result of the biological information measured in step SA1 has been received from the server 4 (SA51). That is, the communication control unit 295 waits for reception of the analysis result of the measured biological information (if NO in SA51).

[0129] In this embodiment, the communication control unit 295 acquires biometric information corresponding to the mark button BO2 whose state is on from the server 4, so the information management unit 297 does not store or delete the terminal ID in the terminal storage device 28. Therefore, the communication control unit 295 does not need to acquire the terminal ID as in the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the information management unit 297 stores and deletes the biometric information in the terminal storage device 28.

[0130] In the server 4, the server control unit 41 transmits information indicating the presence or absence of a change in the biological information received from the measurement terminal 2 as the analysis result of the biological information to the measurement terminal 2 through the processing of step SB3 (SB51). In the measurement terminal 2, when the communication control unit 295 receives the analysis result of the measured biological information (YES in SA51), the information management unit 297 stores the biological information and the analysis result in the terminal storage device 28 (SA52). Then, the display control unit 294 displays the biological information and the analysis result on the display device 24 (SA4).

[0131] In this way, every time the terminal control unit 29 measures biological information, it stores the biological information in the terminal storage device 28. Fig. 20 is a diagram showing an example of a database stored in the terminal storage device 28 of this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 20, in this embodiment, the name (or name ID) of the person being measured who is the source of the measured biological information, the measurement time, and the measured biological information (temperature, blood vessel information, and heart rate information in the example of Fig. 20) are stored. In addition, information (change information) received from the server 4 indicating whether or not there has been a change in the biological information measured in the past is stored.

[0132] <Example of changing the mark status> An example of changing the state of the mark button BO2 in this embodiment will be described. Fig. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing of the terminal control unit 29 when changing the state of the mark button BO2. Description of the same content as that explained in Fig. 5 will be omitted here.

[0133] As described above, in this embodiment, every time biometric information is measured, the information management unit 297 stores the biometric information in the terminal storage device 28. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 20, the information management unit 297 stores mark information indicating the state of the mark button BO2 (mark information indicating whether the mark button BO2 is on or off) in association with the measured biometric information in the terminal storage device 28.

[0134] Specifically, when the display control unit 294 ends the display of the measurement result screen or list screen (YES in SA16), the information management unit 297 associates the mark information with the biometric information corresponding to the mark button BO2 that accepted the input operation and stores the same in the terminal storage device 28 (SA61).

[0135] <Example of processing related to displaying the list screen> An example of processing relating to the display of the list screen in this embodiment will be described. Fig. 21 is a flowchart showing an example of processing by the terminal control unit 29 when displaying the list screen. This processing example shows an example of a control method for the measuring terminal 2 in this embodiment. Explanation of the same content as that explained in Fig. 8 will be omitted here.

[0136] If the answer is YES in step SA31, the display control unit 294 acquires the biometric information from the terminal storage device 28 (SA71). Then, the display control unit 294 displays the acquired biometric information in a list on the display device 24 (SA72; display step).

[0137] As a premise of step SA71, similar to step SA32, the display control unit 294 determines whether the measurement result screen is being displayed. Assume that the display control unit 294 determines that the measurement result screen is being displayed. In this case, the display control unit 294 acquires from the terminal storage device 28 the biological information measured before the determination of step SA31 for the subject who is the measurement source of the biological information displayed on the measurement result screen (SA71, processing equivalent to SA33). Then, the display control unit 294 displays a list of the biological information acquired from the terminal storage device 28 on the display device 24 (SA72, processing equivalent to SA34).

[0138] On the other hand, suppose that the display control unit 294 determines that the measurement result screen is not currently being displayed. In this case, the display control unit 294 acquires from the terminal storage device 28 the biological information measured before the determination of step SA31 for all subjects who have been measurement targets at the measurement terminal 2 (SA71, a process equivalent to SA36). Then, the display control unit 294 displays a list of the biological information acquired from the terminal storage device 28 on the display device 24 (SA72, a process equivalent to SA37).

[0139] The display control unit 294 determines whether or not to end the display of the list screen (SA73). The processing of step SA73 corresponds to the processing of steps S35 and S38 in FIG. 8. If the display control unit 294 does not want to end the display of the list screen (NO in SA73), it maintains the display of the list screen. On the other hand, if the display control unit 294 determines that the display of the list screen should be ended (YES in SA73), the information management unit 297 deletes the biometric information stored in the terminal storage device 28 (SA74).

[0140] When the display control unit 294 is displaying a list of biological information about the subject who is the measurement source of the biological information displayed on the measurement result screen on the display device 24, the information management unit 297 deletes all of the biological information about that subject from the terminal storage device 28 (SA74). The information management unit 297 may also delete biological information about other subjects stored in the terminal storage device 28 from the terminal storage device 28. In other words, in this case, the terminal storage device 28 will be in a state where not a single piece of biological information is stored.

[0141] On the other hand, when the display control unit 294 is displaying a list of the biological information of all the subjects stored in the terminal storage device 28 on the display device 24, the information management unit 297 deletes all of the biological information of all the subjects from the terminal storage device 28 (SA74). That is, the terminal storage device 28 is now in a state where not a single piece of biological information is stored.

[0142] As in the first embodiment, the display control unit 294 may, in step SA72, display only designated biological information from among the biological information previously measured for the certain subject or the biological information previously measured for all of the subjects on the display device 24. As in the second and third embodiments, the display control unit 294 may, in step SA72, display biological information including an abnormal value as previously measured biological information on the display device 24. In this case, as in the third embodiment, the display control unit 294 may display only the biological information including an abnormal value on the display device 24, or may display both the biological information including an abnormal value and the normally measured biological information.

[0143] <Effects> In this embodiment, the measurement terminal 2 stores the measured biological information (biological information to be displayed in a list) in the terminal storage device 28. Therefore, the measurement terminal 2 can display previously measured biological information on the display device 24 even when not connected to a network.

[0144] Furthermore, when the terminal control unit 29 has finished displaying the previously measured biological information, it deletes the previously measured biological information for the subject or for all subjects from the terminal storage device 28. Therefore, in this embodiment as well, it is possible to avoid storing biological information, which is personal information, in the terminal storage device 28 as much as possible.

[0145] [Software implementation example] The functions of the measurement terminal 2, 2A (hereinafter referred to as the "device") can be realized by a program that causes a computer to function as the device, and a program that causes a computer to function as each control block of the device (particularly each part included in the terminal control unit 29, 29A).

[0146] In this case, the device includes a computer having at least one control device (e.g., a processor) and at least one storage device (e.g., a memory) as hardware for executing the program. The control device and storage device execute the program, thereby realizing the functions described in each of the above embodiments.

[0147] The program may be non-transitory and may be recorded on one or more computer-readable recording media. The recording media may or may not be included in the device. In the latter case, the program may be supplied to the device via any wired or wireless transmission medium.

[0148] In addition, some or all of the functions of each of the control blocks can be realized by logic circuits. For example, integrated circuits in which logic circuits that function as each of the control blocks are formed are also included in the scope of the present disclosure. In addition, the functions of each of the control blocks can also be realized by, for example, a quantum computer.

[0149] Furthermore, each process described in each of the above embodiments may be executed by AI (Artificial Intelligence). In this case, the AI ​​may run on the control device or on another device (for example, an edge computer or a cloud server).

[0150] 〔summary〕 The measurement terminal according to aspect 1 of the present disclosure is a measurement terminal that measures biometric information indicating the state of a person being measured, and includes a determination unit that determines whether the measurement terminal has reached a specific state, and a display control unit that, when it is determined that the measurement terminal has reached the specific state, displays on a display device at least some of the biometric information measured by the measurement terminal and stored in a storage device.

[0151] According to the above configuration, when it is determined that the measurement terminal has entered a specific state, the user can use the measurement terminal to visually check at least a part of the multiple pieces of biometric information measured up until that determination (biometric information measured in the past). Therefore, the user can easily visually check the biometric information measured in the past. In other words, the measurement terminal allows the user to easily visually check the biometric information measured in the past.

[0152] The measurement terminal according to a second aspect of the present disclosure is in accordance with the first aspect, and further includes the storage device in which the biological information is stored.

[0153] According to the above configuration, the measurement terminal can store the measured biological information internally, and therefore can display previously measured biological information on the display device even when the measurement terminal is not connected to a network.

[0154] A measuring terminal according to aspect 3 of the present disclosure is, in aspect 1, such that the storage device functions as an external device for the measuring terminal, the storage device stores the biometric information measured by the measuring terminal in association with terminal identification information that identifies the measuring terminal, and the measuring terminal is provided with a communication control unit that communicates between the measuring terminal and the storage device, and the communication control unit transmits the terminal identification information and the biometric information measured by the measuring terminal to the storage device, and acquires the biometric information stored in the storage device when it is determined that the specific state has been reached.

[0155] According to the above configuration, the measurement terminal can acquire previously measured biometric information from an external storage device and display it on the display device without storing the measured biometric information in the measurement terminal. Therefore, for a measurement terminal having a function for displaying previously measured biometric information, even if the user loses the measurement terminal, the possibility of the biometric information being viewed or leaked by a third party via the measurement terminal can be reduced. Therefore, the biometric information, which is personal information, can be protected.

[0156] In a measurement terminal according to aspect 4 of the present disclosure, in any of aspects 1 to 3, the storage device stores the biometric information measured by the measurement terminal in association with biometric identification information indicating the multiple subjects whose biometric information was measured, and when the measurement terminal measures the biometric information for a certain subject and the display control unit displays the measured biometric information on the display device while determining that the subject has entered the specific state, the display control unit displays the biometric information for the subject stored in the storage device.

[0157] According to the above configuration, when the measurement terminal determines that a specific state is present when the biometric information currently measured for a certain subject (specific individual) is displayed on the display device, the measurement terminal can allow the user to view the biometric information previously measured for that subject.

[0158] In a measurement terminal according to aspect 5 of the present disclosure, in aspect 4, when the display control unit determines that the specific state has been reached and the biometric information measured for a certain subject is not being displayed on the display device, the display control unit displays the biometric information for at least some of the multiple subjects stored in the storage device.

[0159] According to the above configuration, when the measurement terminal is not measuring biometric information or when it is not yet displaying the biometric information measured this time, the measurement terminal can allow the user to view biometric information measured in the past for at least some of the multiple subjects.

[0160] In a measurement terminal according to aspect 6 of the present disclosure, in any of aspects 1 to 5, the display control unit displays at least one of a predetermined number of pieces of biometric information stored in the storage device, biometric information that has been determined to have changed by a predetermined value or more compared to biometric information measured in the past, biometric information specified in advance by the subject or the person measuring, and biometric information measured within a predetermined period of time.

[0161] According to the above configuration, the measurement terminal can selectively display a plurality of pieces of biological information measured in the past.

[0162] The measurement terminal according to aspect 7 of the present disclosure is, in any of aspects 1 to 6, provided with an abnormality determination unit that determines whether the plurality of pieces of biometric information stored in the storage device include any that contain abnormal values, and the display control unit displays the biometric information when it is determined that the specific state has been reached and that the biometric information includes an abnormal value.

[0163] According to the above configuration, when multiple pieces of biometric information measured in the past include abnormal values, the measurement terminal displays the biometric information measured in the past that includes the abnormal values, allowing the user to recognize whether the past measurements were performed normally.

[0164] In the measurement terminal of aspect 8 of the present disclosure, in any of aspects 1 to 7, the judgment unit judges that the measurement terminal has entered the specific state when a detection device that detects the posture of the measurement terminal detects that the measurement terminal has been placed, when the detection device detects that vibration has been applied to the measurement terminal, when an imaging device that images the person being measured determines that a state in which the person being measured has not been imaged while in a state in which the biometric information can be measured has continued for a predetermined period of time, or when a charging circuit that charges the measurement terminal detects that charging of the measurement terminal has begun.

[0165] According to the above configuration, when the state of the measurement terminal becomes such that it is assumed that the measurement subject will not be measured, the measurement terminal can display biological information measured in the past.

[0166] A control method for a measurement terminal according to aspect 9 of the present disclosure is a control method for a measurement terminal that measures biometric information indicating the state of a person being measured, and includes a determination step of determining whether the measurement terminal has reached a specific state, and a display step of displaying, on a display device, at least some of the biometric information measured by the measurement terminal and stored in a storage device when it is determined that the specific state has been reached.

[0167] According to the above method, the same effects as those of the measuring terminal according to the first aspect can be achieved.

[0168] The measurement terminal according to each aspect of the present disclosure may be realized by a computer, in which case the control program of the measurement terminal that realizes the measurement terminal on a computer by causing the computer to operate as each part (software element) of the measurement terminal, and the computer-readable recording medium on which it is recorded, also fall within the scope of the present disclosure.

Embodiments obtained by appropriately combining the technical means disclosed in different embodiments are also included in the technical scope of the present disclosure.
