Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a sensing data management system that collects and manages sensing data acquired by a sensing device in a data processing device, and a sensing data transmission method, sensing device, information communication terminal, and program used in this management system. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, a system has been proposed in which sensing devices such as blood pressure monitors installed in hospitals, clinics, etc. are equipped with a communication module for communicating with a mobile communication network, and sensing data such as the measured blood pressure data of the person being measured is transmitted via the network to a server device via the communication module, and the server device performs various management operations related to the person's health condition, etc. based on the blood pressure data.

[0003] Generally, a blood pressure monitor does not have a means for inputting unique identification information of a person to be measured, and therefore, the server device cannot associate blood pressure data received from the blood pressure monitor with a particular person to be measured.

[0004] Therefore, in the past, a method has been proposed in which measured blood pressure data is first imported into a portable device such as a smartphone of the person being measured, and then the blood pressure data is associated with unique identification information of the person being measured that has been registered in advance in the terminal and transmitted to a server device (see Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-108123 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, in the method described in Patent Document 1, although the blood pressure monitor is equipped with a communication module, not only is this module not used, but a new wireless module such as a short-range wireless communication module must be provided in the blood pressure monitor in order to transfer blood pressure data measured by the blood pressure monitor to a mobile terminal, which increases the cost of the blood pressure monitor.

[0007] The present invention has been made in light of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a technique for associating sensing data with the unique identification information of the person being measured, without increasing the cost of the sensing device. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, a first aspect of the present invention relates to a sensing data management system comprising a sensing device that measures sensing data of a subject, a data processing device capable of transmitting data between the sensing device and the subject via a network, and an information communication terminal used by the subject and capable of communicating with the sensing device via the network.

[0009] The system includes a code holding unit that holds, in a readable state, an information code that encodes at least address information of the sensing device.

[0010] The information communication terminal includes a storage unit that stores the unique identification information of the subject, a code reading processing unit, and a notification information transmission processing unit. The code reading processing unit reads the information code from the code holding unit. The notification information transmission processing unit generates notification information including at least the unique identification information of the subject stored in the storage unit in response to an operation of reading the information code, and transmits the notification information to the sensing device based on the address information included in the information code.

[0011] The sensing device includes a notification information receiving processor and a sensing data transmitting processor. The notification information receiving processor receives the notification information transmitted from the information communication terminal via the network and stores it. The sensing data transmitting processor transmits the sensing data of the subject together with the unique identification information included in the notification information to the data processing device.

[0012] The data processing device includes a sensing data reception processing unit that receives the sensing data and the unique identification information transmitted from the sensing device via the network and holds the sensing data in a state in which the sensing data is associated with the unique identification information.

[0013] According to the first aspect of the present invention, for example, when an administrator of the sensing device reads the information code using an information communication terminal having a code reading function such as a smartphone, notification information including the unique identification information of the subject stored in advance in the information communication terminal is transmitted to the sensing device based on the address information of the sensing device contained in the information code. Then, the sensing data of the subject is transmitted to a data processing device by the sensing device together with the unique identification information of the subject contained in the notification information.

[0014] Therefore, since the sensing device does not need to transfer sensing data to the information communication terminal, there is no need to provide the sensing device with a new communication module, which makes it possible to keep the manufacturing costs of the sensing device low.

[0015] In a second aspect of the present invention, a print medium on which the information code is displayed in a state that the information communication terminal can optically read the information code is used as the code holding section.

[0016] In a third aspect of the present invention, a wireless tag that outputs the information code as a wireless signal that can be read by the information communication terminal is used as the code holding section.

[0017] According to the second and third aspects of the present invention, the cord holding unit can be manufactured separately from the sensing device and placed in any desired location, and can also be added to an existing sensing device at any time.

[0018] A fourth aspect of the present invention relates to an information communication terminal used in a system including a sensing device for measuring sensing data of a subject, a data processing device capable of communicating with the sensing device via a network, an information communication terminal capable of communicating with the data processing device via the network, and a code holding unit for holding an information code in a readable state in which at least address information of the sensing device is coded, the information communication terminal including a storage unit for storing unique identification information of the subject, a code reading processing unit, and a notification information transmission processing unit. The reading processing unit reads the information code from the code holding unit. The notification information transmission processing unit generates notification information including at least the unique identification information of the subject stored in the storage unit in response to an operation of reading the information code, and transmits the notification information to the sensing device based on the address information included in the information code.

[0019] According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the subject can simply read and operate the information code using his / her own information communication terminal to receive sensing data from the information communication terminal. Device The unique identification information of the person being measured is automatically sent to the device. Therefore, the person being measured does not need to manually input his / her unique identification information into the sensing device, which prevents erroneous input of unique identification information and reduces the operational burden on the person being measured.

[0020] A fifth aspect of the present invention further includes a location information measurement processing unit that measures location information corresponding to an installation location of the sensing device in conjunction with the reading process of the information code, and the notification information transmission processing unit generates the notification information including the unique identification information of the subject stored in the storage unit and the location information, and transmits the notification information to the sensing device based on the address information included in the information code.

[0021] According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, when transmitting the sensing data of the subject to the data processing device, the sensing device can transmit the location information together with the unique identification information included in the notification information. As a result, the data processing device can estimate, for example, the facility name, address, etc., indicating the sensing location of the subject from map information based on the location information received together with the sensing data.

[0022] A sixth aspect of the present invention relates to a sensing device used in a system comprising a sensing device that measures sensing data of a person being measured, a data processing device capable of transmitting data between the sensing device and the sensing device via a network, and an information communication terminal used by the person being measured and capable of communicating with the sensing device via the network.

[0023] The sensing device includes an information code output processing unit, a notification information reception processing unit, and a sensing data transmission processing unit. The information code output processing unit outputs an information code obtained by encoding at least address information of the sensing device in association with the measurement operation of the sensing data in a state readable by the information communication terminal. The notification information reception processing unit receives and stores notification information including at least unique identification information of the subject, which is transmitted from the information communication terminal based on the information code, via the network. The sensing data transmission processing unit transmits the sensing data of the subject to the data processing device together with the unique identification information of the subject included in the notification information.

[0024] According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, since the sensing device is provided with an information code output processing section that outputs an information code, it becomes possible to control the output timing of the information code by the sensing device.

[0025] In addition, an information code is output in association with the measurement operation of the sensing data, and the unique identification information of the subject is acquired from the information communication terminal in response to the information code. Therefore, each time the sensing data is measured, the unique identification information of the subject corresponding to the data can be acquired, and thus each piece of sensing data can be accurately associated with the unique identification information of the subject.

[0026] In a seventh aspect of the present invention, the information code output processing unit causes the display unit of the sensing device to display the information code in a state in which the information communication terminal can optically read it.

[0027] According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, an information code is displayed on the display of the sensing device, making it easy for the person being measured to recognize, and by using the existing optical code reading function of the information communication terminal, the information code can be easily read with familiar operations.

[0028] An eighth aspect of the present invention is such that the information code output processing unit terminates output of the information code when a predetermined first time has elapsed since output of the information code began, or when the notification information transmitted from the information communication terminal is received.

[0029] According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, if notification information is not received within a first time period after the information code is displayed, the display of the information code is erased. Therefore, even if a sensing operation is performed in a state where notification information including the subject's unique identification information is not received from the information communication terminal, it is possible to prevent a problem in which the sensing data is transmitted to the data processing device without identifying the subject.

[0030] A ninth aspect of the present invention is such that the notification information receiving processing unit erases the storage of the notification information if measurement of the sensing data is not performed within a predetermined second time from the time the notification information is stored.

[0031] According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, if a sensing operation is not performed within a second time period after the notification information is received, the saved notification information is erased. This makes it possible to prevent a problem in which the unique identification information of the subject continues to be unnecessarily saved in the sensing device, and the unique identification information is transmitted in association with sensing data of another subject.

[0032] A tenth aspect of the present invention is that the notification information receiving processing unit erases the storage of the notification information if remeasurement of the sensing data is not performed within a preset third time after completion of transmission of the sensing data.

[0033] According to the tenth aspect of the present invention, if a subject measures sensing data again within the third time period, the sensing data can be measured without performing the information code reading operation again, thereby reducing the operational burden on the subject.

[0034] An eleventh aspect of the present invention relates to a sensing data management system comprising a sensing device for measuring sensing data of a person being measured, a data processing device capable of transmitting data between the sensing device and the data processing device via a network, and an information communication terminal used by the person being measured and capable of communicating with the sensing device via the network, wherein the sensing data management system comprises a code holding unit for holding in a readable state an information code which encodes at least individual identification information of the sensing device and address information of the data processing device.

[0035] The information communication terminal includes a storage unit that stores the unique identification information of the subject, and when the information code is read from the code storage unit, the information communication terminal generates first notification information including at least the individual identification information of the sensing device included in the information code and the unique identification information of the subject stored in the storage unit in response to the information code reading operation, and transmits the first notification information to the data processing device based on the address information included in the information code.

[0036] In response to this, when the data processing device receives the first notification information transmitted from the information communication terminal via the network, it acquires address information of the sensing device that is pre-associated with the individual identification information of the sensing device contained in the first notification information, generates second notification information that includes at least the unique identification information of the subject contained in the first notification information, and transmits the second notification information to the sensing device based on the address information of the sensing device.

[0037] The sensing device receives the second notification information transmitted from the data processing device, and transmits the sensing data of the subject to the data processing device together with the unique identification information of the subject contained in the second notification information.

[0038] According to the eleventh aspect of the present invention, the address information of the sensing device, for example telephone numbers and email addresses, is managed centrally by the data processing device, eliminating the risk of the address information of the sensing device being leaked from the information code, thereby making it possible to prevent unauthorized access to the sensing device by others.

[0039] A twelfth aspect of the present invention relates to a sensing data management system comprising a sensing device for measuring sensing data of a person being measured, a data processing device capable of transmitting data between the sensing device and the data processing device via a network, and an information communication terminal used by the person being measured and capable of communicating with the sensing device via the network, wherein the sensing data management system comprises a code holding unit for holding in a readable state an information code which encodes at least individual identification information of the sensing device and address information of the data processing device.

[0040] The information communication terminal includes a storage unit that stores the unique identification information of the subject. When the information code is read from the code storage unit, In response to the reading operation of the information code, The information code includes at least the individual identification information of the sensing device and the unique identification information of the subject stored in the storage unit. Mutsu Generates knowledge and The same The information is transmitted to the data processing device based on the address information included in the information code. The sensing device transmits the sensing data of the subject together with the individual identification information of the sensing device to the data processing device. .

[0041] The data processing device receives the previous Notification When receiving information The sensing data transmitted from the sensing device and the individual identification information of the sensing device are received via the network. Then, when the notification information and the sensing data are received within a predetermined period, before Notification The individual identification information of the sensing device included in the knowledge information and the individual identification information of the sensing device received together with the sensing data is determined to match, and when it is determined that they match, the sensing data and before Notification The unique identification information of the subject included in the knowledge information and

[0043] According to the twelfth aspect of the present invention, the sensing device does not need to receive notification information and to associate the subject's sensing data with unique identification information, thereby reducing the processing load of the sensing device. Also, it is not necessary to assign address information to the sensing device, which makes it possible to prevent unauthorized access to the sensing device by others.

[0044] A thirteenth aspect of the present invention relates to a sensing data management system comprising a sensing device for measuring sensing data of a person being measured, a data processing device capable of transmitting data between the sensing device and the sensing device via a network, and an information communication terminal used by the person being measured and capable of communicating with the sensing device via the network.

[0047] The data processing device receives the notification information transmitted from the information communication terminal via the network, and stores the sensing data contained in the notification information and the unique identification information of the subject in a state in which they are associated with each other.

[0048] According to the thirteenth aspect of the present invention, the process of associating the sensing data of the subject measured by the sensing device with the unique identification information of the subject is performed in the information communication terminal. In addition, in order to transfer the sensing data to the information communication terminal, it is only necessary to provide the sensing device with a function of generating and displaying an information code including the sensing data. For example, Bluetooth® Therefore, it is possible to completely eliminate the need for a communication module in the sensing device, which makes it possible to further reduce the cost of the sensing device.

[0051] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0052] [First embodiment] (Configuration example) (1) System FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of a sensing data management system according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] 1, a sensing device SD is permanently installed in a facility visited by an unspecified number of users, such as a medical institution, a fitness club, a meeting place, a commercial facility, etc. Meanwhile, a sensing data management server SV1 functioning as a data processing device is installed, for example, on the cloud or the web.

[0054] The system according to the first embodiment makes it possible to transmit sensing data measured by the sensing device SD to the sensing data management server SV1 via the mobile communication network NW2 and the wide area network NW1.

[0055] The mobile communication network is not limited to one mobile communication network operated by one telecommunications carrier, but may be a mixture of multiple mobile communication networks operated by multiple telecommunications carriers. As a radio access method for the mobile communication network, for example, Long Time Evolution (LTE (registered trademark)) is assumed, but it is not limited thereto, and 4G or 5G may be adopted.

[0056] Wide area network 1 The term includes the Internet and an access network for accessing the Internet. Examples of the access network include public data lines provided by telecommunications carriers, LANs (Local Area Networks), wireless LANs, and CATV (Cable Television) lines, but are not limited thereto.

[0057] In addition, the system according to the first embodiment enables data transmission between the sensing data management server SV1 and the map information management server SV2, and between the user terminals CT1 to CTk, via the wide area network NW.

[0058] The map information management server SV2 has a function of storing and managing in a database map information of a region including at least the target area in which the sensing device SD is installed, and makes the map information available free of charge.

[0059] The user terminals CT1 to CTk are used by users of the sensing data, such as the subject himself or her family, medical institutions, pharmaceutical manufacturers, insurance companies, etc., and are used by these users to access the sensing data management server SV1 and view the subject sensing data.

[0060] Furthermore, the system of the first embodiment makes it possible for the subject to notify the sensing device SD of the subject's unique identification information (hereinafter referred to as subject ID) via the mobile communication network NW2 using an information and communication device carried by the subject, for example a mobile terminal UT such as a smartphone.

[0061] (2) Equipment (2-1) Sensing device SD 2 and 3 are block diagrams showing the hardware and software configurations, respectively, of the sensing device SD.

[0062] The sensing device SD is, for example, a blood pressure monitor, and includes a control unit 1, a sensing unit 2, and a communication module 3. The sensing unit 2 performs an operation of measuring sensing data such as blood pressure data under the control of the control unit 1, and outputs the measured sensing data to the control unit 1.

[0063] The sensing unit 2 may be a device that measures other vital data, such as heart rate, electrocardiogram waveform, blood glucose level, activity level, stress level, etc., either alone or in combination, in addition to blood pressure data.

[0064] The communication module 3 is used to establish a wireless link with the mobile communication network NW2 according to, for example, the LTE standard and to transmit sensing data using the established wireless link. The communication module 3 is also used to receive emails, messages, or SNS transmission data transmitted from the mobile terminal UT.

[0065] The communication module 3 is not limited to being built into the sensing device SD, but may be an external module installed as an accessory communication adapter, or may be a communication module provided in an IoT device, router, or set-top box (STB) used independently.

[0066] The control unit 1 includes a control unit 11 using a hardware processor such as a central processing unit (CPU). A storage unit having a program storage unit 12 and a data storage unit 13, a sensor interface (hereinafter, the interface will be referred to as I / F) 14, a communication I / F 15, and an input / output I / F 17 are connected to the control unit 11 via a bus 16.

[0067] The sensor I / F 14, under the control of the control unit 11, transmits and receives various control signals related to the operation of the sensing unit 2, and receives sensing data output from the sensing unit 2. The communication I / F 15, under the control of the control unit 11, transmits and receives information data and the like with the communication module 3. The input / output I / F 17 is connected to a display 18 and input / output devices such as operation buttons and a printer.

[0068] The program storage unit 12 is configured by combining, for example, a non-volatile memory such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or SSD (Solid State Drive) as a storage medium that can be written to and read from at any time, and a non-volatile memory such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), and stores programs necessary for executing various control processes related to the first embodiment, in addition to middleware such as an OS (Operating System).

[0069] The data storage unit 13 is, for example, a combination of a non-volatile memory such as an HDD or SSD, which can be written to and read from at any time, as a storage medium, and a volatile memory such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), and is equipped with an information code storage unit 131, a notification information storage unit 132, and a sensing data storage unit 133 as main storage units required to implement the first embodiment.

[0070] For example, an information code obtained by encoding a communication address previously assigned to the sensing device SD by a communication carrier of the mobile communication network NW2 is stored in the information code storage unit 131. As the communication address, for example, a telephone number or an email address of the mobile communication network NW2 is used.

[0071] 4 and 5 show examples of a QR code CC1 and a one-dimensional barcode used as the information code, respectively. Note that, as the information code, in addition to optically readable codes such as the QR code and barcode, codes that output codes wirelessly or by infrared rays, such as wireless tags, may also be used.

[0072] The notification information storage section 132 is used to store the notification information transmitted from the portable terminal UT of the subject.

[0073] The sensing data storage unit 133 is used to store the sensing data measured by the sensing unit 2 .

[0074] The control unit 11 includes, as processing functions necessary for implementing the first embodiment, an information code display processing unit 111, a notification information receiving and managing processing unit 112, a sensing data acquisition processing unit 113, and a sensing data transmission processing unit 114. All of these processing units 111 to 114 are realized by causing a hardware processor of the control unit 11 to execute a program stored in the program storage unit 12.

[0075] When the sensing unit 2 detects a behavior of the subject that is a precursor to a sensing operation, the information code display processing unit 111 reads out an information code from the information code storage unit 131, and outputs this information code from the input / output I / F 17 to the display 18 for display. Examples of behavior of the subject that is a precursor to a sensing operation include the subject sitting in front of the sensing device SD, or the subject inserting his / her arm into the cuff.

[0076] The information code display processing unit 111 then monitors whether the display time of the information code has passed a preset first time while monitoring the reception of notification information from the mobile terminal UT during the display period of the information code. Then, when notification information is received or the first time has passed without receiving any notification information, the information code display processing unit 111 performs processing to end the display of the information code.

[0077] The notification information reception and management processing unit 112 has the following processing functions. (1) A process of receiving notification information transmitted from the mobile terminal UT via the communication module 3 and storing the received notification information in the notification information storage unit 132. (2) A process of monitoring whether or not a sensing operation is started within a preset second time period after the notification information is saved, and erasing the notification information saved in the notification information storage unit 132 if the second time period has elapsed without the sensing operation being started. (3) A process of monitoring whether or not a sensing operation is to be performed again within a preset third time period after the sensing operation is completed, and erasing the notification information stored in the notification information storage unit 132 if the third time period has elapsed without the sensing operation being performed again.

[0078] The sensing data acquisition processing unit 113 receives sensing data measured by the sensing unit 2 via the sensor I / F 14 , and performs processing to store the received sensing data in the sensing data storage unit 133 .

[0079] The sensing data transmission processing unit 114 reads out unsent sensing data from the sensing data storage unit 133 every time new sensing data is acquired by the sensing data acquisition processing unit 113, every time a predetermined number of measurements of sensing data are accumulated in the sensing data storage unit 133, or every time a predetermined time has elapsed since the previous transmission. Then, the sensing data that has been read out is stored in the notification information storage unit 132 together with the subject ID stored in the notification information storage unit 132 and the notification information of the sensing device SD that has been stored in advance in the sensing device SD. individualThe communication module 3 performs processing to transmit the data together with the device ID, which is identification information, to the sensing data management server SV1.

[0080] (2-2) Mobile terminal UT 6 and 7 are block diagrams showing the hardware and software configurations, respectively, of the mobile terminal UT.

[0081] The mobile terminal UT is, for example, a general-purpose smartphone equipped with a GPS position sensor, a camera, and a browser. Note that, as the mobile terminal UT, other devices such as tablet terminals, wearable terminals, and notebook personal computers may also be used as long as they have similar functions.

[0082] The mobile terminal UT includes a control unit 10 using a hardware processor such as a central processing unit. 70 A storage unit having a program storage section 20 and a data storage section 30, an input / output I / F 40, a sensor I / F 50, and a communication I / F 60 are connected via the I / F 40 and the sensor I / F 50.

[0083] An input / output device 41 is connected to the input / output I / F 40. The input / output device 41 is an input unit using a pressure-sensitive or capacitive touch-type input sheet arranged on the display screen of a display device using, for example, a liquid crystal or organic EL, and is used for inputting various types of operation data and displaying display data.

[0084] The sensor I / F 50 has a function of receiving a GPS signal via an antenna 51 and a function of capturing image or video data captured by a camera 52. In this embodiment, the camera 52 is used when optically reading an information code such as a QR code or a one-dimensional barcode.

[0085] The communication I / F 60 transmits and receives information data to and from the sensing data management server SV1 using a wireless access method and a communication protocol defined by the mobile communication network NW2 under the control of the control unit 10. In this example, LTE is used as the wireless access method.

[0086] The program storage unit 20 is configured, for example, by combining a non-volatile memory such as an HDD or SSD as a storage medium that can be written to and read from at any time, and a non-volatile memory such as a ROM, and stores, in addition to middleware such as an OS, programs necessary for executing various control processes related to the first embodiment.

[0087] The data storage unit 30 is, for example, a combination of a non-volatile memory such as an SSD that can be written to and read from at any time as a storage medium, and a volatile memory such as a RAM, and is equipped with an information code storage unit 301 and a personal ID storage unit 302 as the main storage units required to implement the first embodiment.

[0088] The information code storage unit 301 is used to temporarily store the information code read by the camera 52. The personal ID storage unit 302 is used to store the unique identification information of the owner of the mobile terminal (hereinafter referred to as the personal ID). In this example, the subject of the sensing data reads the information code using his / her own mobile terminal, so the personal ID stored in the personal ID storage unit 302 represents the unique identification information of the subject.

[0089] The control unit 10 includes, as processing functions according to the first embodiment, an information code reading processing unit 101, a notification information generating processing unit 102, and a notification information transmitting processing unit 103. All of these processing units 101 to 103 are realized by causing a hardware processor of the control unit 10 to execute a program stored in the program storage unit 20.

[0090] The information code reading processing unit 101 starts the camera 52 in response to a code reading operation in the input / output device 41, and reads image data of the information code captured by the camera 52 via the sensor I / F 50. Then, the information code is recognized from the read image data, and the recognized information code is stored in the information code storage unit 301.

[0091] When the information code reading process is performed by the information code reading process unit 101, the notification information generating process unit 102 reads the personal ID of the owner of the portable terminal UT, i.e., the person being measured, from the personal ID storage unit 302, and performs a process of generating notification information including the read personal ID. The notification information generating process unit 102 may obtain location information of the portable terminal UT measured by a GPS location measuring function from the sensor I / F 50, and add the obtained location information to the notification information.

[0092] The notification information transmission processing unit 103 performs processing for transmitting the generated notification information from the communication I / F 60 to the sensing device SD based on the address information of the sensing device SD included in the information code.

[0093] (2-3) Sensing data management server SV1 8 and 9 are block diagrams respectively showing the hardware configuration and the software configuration of the sensing data management server SV1.

[0094] The sensing data management server SV1 is, for example, a server computer, and includes a control unit 70 using a hardware processor such as a central processing unit. A storage unit having a program storage unit 80 and a data storage unit 90, and a communication I / F 100 are connected to the control unit 70 via a bus 110.

[0095] Under the control of the control unit 70, the communication I / F 100 uses a communication protocol defined by the wide area network NW to send and receive information data between the sensing device SD, the mobile terminal UT, the map information management server SV2, and the user terminals CT1 to CTk.

[0096] The program storage unit 80 is configured, for example, by combining a non-volatile memory such as an HDD or SSD as a storage medium that can be written to and read at any time, and a non-volatile memory such as a ROM, and stores, in addition to middleware such as an OS, programs necessary for executing various control processes related to the first embodiment.

[0097] The data storage unit 90 is, for example, a combination of a non-volatile memory such as an HDD or SSD, which can be written and read at any time, and a volatile memory such as a RAM, as a storage medium. The sensing data storage unit 9 1 and a browsing history storage unit 92.

[0098] The sensing data storage unit 91 is used for storing the sensing data transmitted from the sensing device SD in association with the device ID of the sensing device SD and the personal ID of the subject transmitted together with the sensing data.

[0099] The browsing history storage unit 92 is used to store browsing history information generated by the control unit 70 when sensing data is transmitted to the requesting user terminals CT1 to CTk in response to a browsing request from the user terminals CT1 to CTk.

[0100] The control unit 70 includes, as processing functions according to the first embodiment, a sensing data acquisition processing unit 71 and a sensing data browsing processing unit 72. Both of these processing units 71 and 72 are realized by causing a hardware processor of the control unit 70 to execute a program stored in the program storage unit 80.

[0101] Each time sensing data is transmitted from the sensing device SD, the sensing data acquisition processing unit 71 receives the sensing data via the communication I / F 100 and performs a process of storing the received sensing data in the sensing data storage unit 91 in association with the device ID of the sensing device SD that transmitted the data and the personal ID of the person being measured.

[0102] When a browsing request is sent from the user terminals CT1 to CTk, the sensing data browsing processing unit 72 reads out the sensing data associated with the personal ID specified by the browsing request from the sensing data storage unit 91. Then, the sensing data browsing processing unit 72 performs processing to transmit the read out sensing data from the communication I / F 100 to the requesting user terminal CT1 to CTk.

[0103] (Example of operation) Next, an example of the operation of the sensing data management system configured as above will be described. In this example, it is assumed that an information code obtained by encoding the address information of the sensing device SD is stored in advance in the information code storage unit 131 of the sensing device SD.

[0104] (1) Enter the subject's personal ID FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the procedure and content of the operation executed by the control unit 11 of the sensing device SD.

[0105] Sensing device SD S In the standby state, the control unit 11 monitors the behavior of the subject that is related to the sensing operation, for example, a behavior that is a precursor to the sensing operation by the subject. In this state, it is assumed that the subject sits in front of the sensing device SDS or inserts his / her arm into the cuff. In this case, the sensing device SD detects the precursor behavior by, for example, a proximity sensor provided in the sensing unit 2 or a sensor provided in the cuff.

[0106] When the control unit 11 of the sensing device SD detects the above-mentioned precursor behavior in step S1, under the control of the information code display processing unit 111, in step S2, the control unit 11 reads out an information code from the information code storage unit 131 and outputs the read out information code from the input / output I / F 17 to the display 18 for display. As a result, a QR code or one-dimensional barcode such as that shown in Fig. 4 or Fig. 5 is displayed on the display 18 of the sensing device SD.

[0107] At this time, a guidance message such as "Please read the information code with your mobile terminal" may be displayed on the display 18. A similar voice message may be output from a speaker (not shown).

[0108] In this state, it is assumed that the subject starts up a code reading application on his / her portable terminal UT and performs an operation to read the information code displayed on the display 18. Then, the control unit 10 of the portable terminal UT executes a series of processes from the process of reading the information code to the process of transmitting the notification information as follows.

[0109] FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the process steps and process contents executed by the control unit 10 of the mobile terminal UT.

[0110] That is, when the control unit 10 of the mobile terminal UT first detects an operation to start the code reading application in step S20, under the control of the information code reading processing unit 101, it starts the camera 52 in step S21 and reads image data of the information code captured by the camera 52 from the sensor I / F 50. Then, it performs a process of recognizing the information code from the read image data and causes the recognized information code to be stored in the information code storage unit 301.

[0111] When the information code reading process is completed, the control unit 10 of the mobile terminal UT then reads the information code from the information code storage unit 301 in step S22 under the control of the notification information generation processing unit 102. Then, the control unit 10 reads the personal ID of the subject from the personal ID storage unit 302 and generates notification information including the read personal ID. Next, under the control of the notification information transmission processing unit 103 in step S23, the control unit 10 transmits the notification information to the sensing device SD from the communication I / F 60 using, for example, an email, a message, or an SNS message, based on address information of the sensing device SD included in the read information code, for example a telephone number or an email address.

[0112] In response to this, the control unit 11 of the sensing device SD, while displaying the information code, monitors whether or not a first time has elapsed since the start of displaying the information code in step S3, and monitors reception of the notification information in step S4. In this state, when notification information transmitted from the mobile terminal UT is received within the first time, the notification information is received in step S5 under the control of the notification information reception / management processing unit 112, and the received notification information is stored in the notification information storage unit 132.

[0113] When the storage of the notification information is completed, the notification information receiving and managing processing unit 112 notifies the information code display processing unit 111 accordingly. Upon receiving this notification, the information code display processing unit 111 terminates the display of the information code on the display unit 18 in step S6. If the notification information is not received within the first time period, it is determined that the subject has not performed the reading process of the information code, and the information code display processing unit 111 terminates the display of the information code on the display unit 18 in step S7 and returns to the standby state.

[0114] Therefore, in this case, the sensing device SD cannot perform sensing operations, and the malfunction of only the sensing data being sent to the sensing data management server SV1 without the subject's personal ID being entered is prevented. In this case, it is preferable that the sensing device SD display a guidance message such as "Please perform the sensing operations from the beginning" on the display 18 or output a similar voice message from the speaker.

[0115] (2)Sensing operation When the notification information is received and stored, the control unit 11 of the sensing device SD, under the control of the sensing data acquisition processing unit 113, monitors whether a second time has elapsed since the notification information was stored in step S8, and monitors whether a sensing operation has been started in step S9.

[0116] In this state, for example, when the subject presses the sensing start button, the cuff in the sensing unit 2 is deflated, thereby performing a blood pressure sensing operation. In step S10, the sensing data acquisition processing unit 113 acquires the sensing data measured by the sensing unit 2 from the sensor I / F 14, and temporarily stores the acquired sensing data in the sensing data storage unit 133.

[0117] Next, in step S11, the control unit 11 of the sensing device SD, under the control of the sensing data transmission processing unit 114, reads the sensing data from the sensing data storage unit 133 and also reads the personal ID of the person being measured from the notification information storage unit 132. Then, the control unit 11 of the sensing device SD outputs the sensing data in association with the personal ID of the person being measured and the device ID of the sensing device SD from the communication I / F 15 to the communication module 3, and causes the communication module 3 to transmit the sensing data to the sensing data management server SV1.

[0118] If the second time period elapses without the sensing operation being performed, the notification information reception / management processing unit 112 determines that the subject has abandoned the sensing operation, and proceeds to step S14 to erase the notification information stored in the notification information storage unit 132. This prevents a problem in which the notification information of the subject who has abandoned the sensing operation remains in the notification information storage unit 132.

[0119] After transmitting the sensing data, the sensing data acquisition processing unit 113 monitors whether the third time has elapsed in step S13, and monitors whether the sensing operation has been performed again in step S12. In this state, when the subject performs a re-sensing operation, the sensing unit 2 performs the sensing operation again.

[0120] In this case, in step S10, the sensing data acquisition processing unit 113 acquires sensing data measured by the re-sensing operation from the sensor I / F 14, and stores the acquired sensing data in the sensing data storage unit 133. Then, under the control of the sensing data transmission processing unit 114, in step S11, the sensing data acquired by the re-sensing is transmitted from the communication module 3 to the sensing data management server SV1 together with the personal ID of the subject and the device ID of the sensing device SD stored in the notification information storage unit 132.

[0121] Generally, blood pressure measurements often vary from measurement to measurement, and in such cases the subject may attempt to measure again. Therefore, if the sensing operation can be performed again if it is performed again within the third time period after the first sensing operation has ended as described above, the subject will not need to read the information code again when performing resensing.

[0122] If the third time period elapses without the re-sensing operation being performed, the notification information reception and management processing unit 112 proceeds from step S13 to step S14, and erases the notification information of the subject stored in the notification information storage unit 132. Then, the sensing device SD returns to a standby state. This prevents the notification information of the subject from remaining in the notification information storage unit 132 after the sensing operation is completed. For this reason, even if another person subsequently performs a sensing operation, the sensing data is prevented from being transmitted in association with the personal ID of the subject who performed the sensing operation immediately before.

[0123] In the above description, each time sensing data is acquired, the sensing data is transmitted to the sensing data management server SV1. However, each time a certain amount of sensing data is accumulated in the sensing data storage unit 133 or each time a certain period of time has elapsed, untransmitted sensing data may be read from the sensing data storage unit 133 and transmitted all at once.

[0124] (3) Data management of the sensing data management server SV1 When sensing data is transmitted from the sensing device SD, the control unit 70 of the sensing data management server SV1 executes the following process. Fig. 12 is a flowchart showing the process procedure and process contents.

[0125] The control unit 70 of the sensing data management server SV1 monitors the reception request sent from the sensing device SD in step S30. In this state, when a sensing data reception request is detected in step S30, under the control of the sensing data acquisition processing unit 71, in step S31, the sensing data transmitted from the sensing device SD is received via the communication I / F 100, and the received sensing data is stored in the sensing data storage unit 91 in a state associated with the personal ID of the subject received together with the sensing data and the device ID of the sensing device SD that transmitted the sensing data.

[0126] In this state, suppose that a viewing request specifying the personal ID of the subject is sent from the user terminal CT1-CTk used by, for example, the subject, his / her family, or his / her doctor. In this case, when the control unit 70 of the sensing data management server SV1 receives the viewing request in step S32, under the control of the sensing data viewing processing unit 72, in step S33, it reads out the sensing data corresponding to the personal ID specified by the viewing request from the sensing data storage unit 91, and transmits the read sensing data from the communication I / F 100 to the requesting user terminal CT1-CTk. Then, after the transmission process, it generates viewing information including, for example, the transmission destination and transmission date and time of the sensing data, and the personal ID of the subject to be viewed, and stores the generated viewing information in the viewing history storage unit 92.

[0127] In addition, the sensing data management server SV1 may generate statistical information representing, for example, the average value or the fluctuation tendency of blood pressure values ​​for each personal ID for multiple sensing data stored in the sensing data storage unit 91, store the generated statistical information together with the sensing data storage unit 91, and make this statistical information viewable.

[0128] (Action and effect) As described above, according to the first embodiment, the following advantageous effects can be achieved. (1) When the sensing device SD detects a behavior by the subject that is a precursor to a sensing operation, an information code that encodes the address information of the sensing device SD is read from the information code storage unit 131 and displayed on the display 18. When the subject reads the information code with his / her mobile terminal UT in this state, notification information including the personal ID of the owner of the mobile terminal UT as the personal ID of the subject is generated by the mobile terminal UT, and the generated notification information is transmitted to the sensing device SD according to the address information included in the information code. In response to this, when the sensing device SD receives the notification information, the sensing data of the subject acquired by the sensing operation within a second time period thereafter is transmitted to the sensing data management server SV1 together with the personal ID of the subject included in the notification information.

[0129] Therefore, it becomes possible to transmit the sensing data of the subject together with the personal ID from the sensing device SD to the sensing data management server SV1. This eliminates the need to provide the sensing device SD with a new communication module for short-range wireless data communication for transferring the sensing data to the mobile terminal UT, thereby making it possible to keep the manufacturing cost of the sensing device SD low.

[0130] Furthermore, the person being measured only needs to read and operate the information code using the code reading function of the portable terminal UT, so there is no need for the person being measured to manually input their own personal ID into the sensing device, which reduces the operational burden on the person being measured and prevents incorrect input of personal ID, etc.

[0131] Furthermore, since the information code is displayed on the display 18 of the sensing device SD, there is no need to print the information code on the housing of the sensing device SD or to create and attach a sticker or the like on which the information code is printed.

[0132] (2) In the sensing device SD, if notification information is not received within a first time period after the information code is displayed, the display of the information code is erased and the device automatically returns to a standby state. This makes it possible to prevent a problem in advance in which a sensing operation is performed without receiving notification information including the subject's personal ID from the mobile terminal UT, and the sensing data is transmitted to the sensing data management server SV1 without identifying the subject.

[0133] (3) In the sensing device SD, if a sensing operation is not performed within a second time period after the notification information is received, the notification information is deleted from the notification information storage unit 132. This makes it possible to prevent a problem in which the unique identification information of the subject remains unnecessarily in the sensing device, causing the unique identification information to be associated with sensing data of another subject and transmitted.

[0134] (4) In the sensing device SD, if a sensing operation is performed again within the third time period after one piece of sensing data of the subject is transmitted, this re-sensing is permitted, and the sensing data obtained thereby is transmitted as is together with the personal ID as the sensing data of the subject. Therefore, if one subject performs a sensing operation again within the third time period, the sensing operation can be continued without reading the information code again, thereby reducing the operational burden on the subject.

[0135] [Variations] In the first embodiment, the case where notification information including only the subject's personal ID is transmitted from the mobile terminal UT to the sensing device SD has been described. However, the notification information may include location information measured by the GPS location measurement function of the mobile terminal UT. In this case, when transmitting the sensing data of the subject to the sensing data management server SV1, the sensing device SD transmits the location information together with the personal ID included in the notification information. In this way, the sensing data management server SV1 can estimate the facility name, address, etc., indicating the sensing location of the subject, based on, for example, the location information received together with the sensing data and the acquired or stored map information.

[0136] In this way, the sensing data management server SV1 can manage the sensing data of the subjects for each sensing location, making it possible to generate and provide statistical data showing, for example, the blood pressure trends of residents by region.

[0137] In the first embodiment, the case where the information code is displayed on the display 18 of the sensing device SD has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the information code CC1 may be affixed or printed on the surface of the housing of the sensing device SD as shown in Fig. 13 or 14. In this case, the position where the information code is affixed or printed may be the front or side of the housing, or may be the top surface of a table on which the sensing device SD is installed, or the front or side wall.

[0138] The information code may be an optically readable code such as a QR code CC1 or a one-dimensional barcode CC2, or may be a type that transmits code information by a wireless signal, such as a wireless tag, and is read by the mobile terminal UT when the mobile terminal UT receives the wireless signal. Furthermore, the unique identification information of the subject may include personal attribute information, such as the subject's name and contact information, in addition to the personal ID.

[0139] Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the sensing data management server SV1 collects and manages sensing data obtained by one sensing device SD. However, the sensing data management server SV1 may collect and manage sensing data obtained by multiple sensing devices installed in the same facility or multiple other facilities. In this case, the sensing data obtained by multiple sensing devices installed in the same facility or multiple sensing devices installed in multiple facilities in the same area may be integrated for each facility or area, thereby generating statistical information of the integrated sensing data for each facility or area.

[0140] In addition, the types and functions of the sensing device, data processing device, and information communication terminal, as well as the processing procedures and processing contents, can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0141] [Second embodiment] In the first embodiment, the mobile terminal UT directly accesses the sensing device SD based on the address information of the sensing device SD included in the information code. This means that the address information of the sensing device SD, such as a telephone number or email address, is made public, which may lead to the address information of the sensing device SD being leaked to a third party and causing unauthorized access.

[0142] Therefore, in the second embodiment, a method is adopted in which the mobile terminal UT accesses the sensing device SD via, for example, a sensing data management server SV1. Note that in the second embodiment, the basic configuration of the system is the same as in the first embodiment, so the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 9.

[0143] The information code includes, for example, the URL of the sensing data management server SV1 and information (device ID) for identifying the individual sensing device SD. For example, the device ID may be a product serial number, or the IMEI, IMSI, or SIM ICCID of a communication module mounted in the sensing device SD. The information code may be generated and displayed by the sensing device SD, or may be a printed sticker or the like affixed to the housing of the sensing device SD.

[0144] The control unit 10 of the portable terminal UT reads the information code under the control of the information code reading processing unit 101, and then, the notification information generating processing unit 102 generates the device ID and the subject's personal information included in the information code. people Then, under the control of the notification information transmission processing unit 103, the generated first notification information is transmitted to the sensing data management server SV1 based on the URL included in the information code.

[0145] When the sensing data management server SV1 receives the first notification information transmitted from the mobile terminal UT via the communication I / F 100, the control unit 70 reads out address information of the sensing device SD, which has been registered in advance in association with the device ID included in the received first notification information, from a database provided in the data storage unit 90. Then, based on the address information, second notification information including the individual ID of the subject included in the first notification information is transmitted from the communication I / F 100 to the sensing device SD by, for example, a message or email.

[0146] When the control unit 11 of the sensing device SD receives the second notification information via the communication module 3 under the control of the notification information receiving and management processing unit 112, it transmits the sensing data together with the individual ID of the subject contained in the second notification information to the sensing data management server SV1 under the control of the sensing data transmission processing unit 114.

[0147] In response to this, when the control unit 70 of the sensing data management server SV1 receives the second notification information under the control of the sensing data acquisition processing unit 71, it stores the sensing data contained in the second notification information and the individual ID of the subject in a corresponding state in the sensing data memory unit 91.

[0148] As described above, according to the second embodiment, the address information of the sensing device SD, for example, a telephone number and email address, is managed by the sensing data management server SV1, so there is no need to worry about the address information of the sensing device SD being leaked from the information code, making it possible to prevent unauthorized access to the sensing device SD from others.

[0149] [Third embodiment] In the third embodiment of the present invention, the sensing data of the subject and the personal ID of the subject are associated with each other in the sensing data management server SV1. In the third embodiment, the basic configuration of the system is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the description will be given with reference to Figs. 1 to 9.

[0150] The information code includes the device ID of the sensing device SD and the URL of the sensing data management server SV1. In this example, the device ID may be, for example, the serial number of the product, or the IMEI, IMSI, or SIM ICCID of the communication module mounted in the sensing device SD. The information code may be generated and displayed by the sensing device SD, or may be a printed sticker or the like affixed to the housing of the sensing device SD.

[0151] The control unit 10 of the portable terminal UT reads the information code under the control of the information code reading processing unit 101, and generates notification information including the device ID of the sensing device SD and the individual ID of the subject contained in the information code by the notification information generation processing unit 102. Then, under the control of the notification information transmission processing unit 103, the generated notification information is transmitted to the sensing data management server SV1 based on the URL contained in the information code.

[0152] On the other hand, under the control of the sensing data transmission processing unit 114, the sensing device SD transmits the measured sensing data of the subject together with the device ID of the sensing device SD to the sensing data management server SV1.

[0153] When the control unit 70 of the sensing data management server SV1 receives the sensing data and the notification information from the sensing device SD and the mobile terminal UT via the communication I / F 100, the control unit 70 first judges whether or not the timing of each reception is within a predetermined period corresponding to, for example, a typical measurement period. If it is judged to be within the predetermined period, the control unit 70 compares the device ID of the sensing device SD received together with the sensing data with the device ID of the sensing device SD included in the notification information. If the device IDs match, the control unit 70 stores the sensing data and the individual ID of the subject included in the notification information in a corresponding manner in the sensing data storage unit 91.

[0154] As described above, according to the third embodiment, the sensing device SD does not need to receive notification information and does not need to associate the subject's sensing data with an individual ID, which reduces the processing load of the sensing device SD. Also, it is not necessary to assign address information to the sensing device SD, which prevents unauthorized access to the sensing device SD.

[0155] [Fourth embodiment] In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal UT performs a process of associating the sensing data of the subject measured by the sensing device SD with the individual ID of the subject, and transmits the associated data to the sensing data management server SV1. Note that, in the fourth embodiment, the basic configuration of the system is the same as in the first embodiment, so the description will be given with reference to Figs. 1 to 9.

[0156] Each time sensing data is measured, the control unit 11 of the sensing device SD, under the control of the information code display processing unit 111, generates an information code including the sensing data and the URL of the sensing data management server SV1, and displays it on the display 18.

[0157] The control unit 10 of the mobile terminal UT reads the information code under the control of the information code reading processing unit 101, and generates notification information by associating the sensing data included in the information code with an individual ID stored in the mobile terminal under the control of the notification information generation processing unit 102. Then, under the control of the notification information transmission processing unit 103, the notification information is transmitted to the sensing data management server SV1 based on the URL included in the information code.

[0158] When the control unit 70 of the sensing data management server SV1 receives the above notification information via the communication I / F 100, under the control of the sensing data acquisition processing unit 71, it stores the sensing data contained in the above notification information in the sensing data memory unit 91 in a state in which it corresponds the sensing data contained in the notification information to the individual ID of the subject.

[0159] Thus, according to the fourth embodiment, the portable terminal UT performs a process of associating the sensing data of the subject measured by the sensing device SD with the subject's individual ID. In addition, in order to transfer the sensing data to the portable terminal UT, the sensing device SD only needs to be provided with a function for generating and displaying an information code including the sensing data, and there is no need to provide a wireless module such as Bluetooth. This makes it possible to completely eliminate the need for a communication module in the sensing device SD, thereby enabling further cost reduction of the sensing device SD.

[0160] [Other embodiments] Although multiple embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the above description is merely an example of the present invention in every respect. It goes without saying that various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. In other words, in implementing the present invention, specific configurations according to the embodiments may be appropriately adopted.

[0161] In short, this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments as they are, and in the implementation stage, the components can be modified and embodied without departing from the gist of the invention. In addition, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining multiple components disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiments. For example, some components may be deleted from all the components shown in the embodiments. Furthermore, components from different embodiments may be appropriately combined.
