Description

Biological information measuring device

[0001] The present invention relates to a technique for measuring biological information by attaching a biological information measuring device to clothing worn by a subject and to the subject.

[0002] Among biological information, continuous measurement of core body temperature is considered effective in understanding a subject's hormone balance and health condition. Furthermore, by measuring core body temperature, a subject can detect signs and symptoms of disease early. Core body temperature is the temperature that protects the central functions of the body, such as the brain and organs. However, it is difficult to measure core body temperature invasively by inserting a sensor into the central part of the body (for example, the esophagus or rectum).

[0003] Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose, for example, biological information measuring devices that measure core body temperature using simple methods. The biological information measuring device in Patent Document 1 includes a device main body and a case-like holder attached to the surface of the device main body. The device main body is held inside the holder. The holder is provided with clamping pieces that serve as clamping means. The clamping pieces clamp the subject's clothing or the like, thereby fixing the biological information measuring device to the subject's clothing or the like.

[0004] Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses an adhesive member for attaching a biological information measuring device (core thermometer) to the surface of a human body (skin, body surface). The adhesive member has a surface that contacts the core thermometer and a surface that contacts the human body. The surface of the adhesive member that contacts the human body has adhesiveness.

[0006] However, the biological information measuring device of Patent Document 1 is fixed to clothing or the like using only the clamping pieces. In other words, it does not have the function of fixing to the subject's skin. Therefore, if the clamping pieces are not fixed to the clothing or the like with sufficient force, it is difficult to fix the biological information measuring device to the clothing. In other words, the biological information measuring device may slip off the clothing or it may be difficult to keep it in place. In other words, the biological information measuring device may come off the subject's skin. This may result in a loss of stability in measurements performed by the biological information measuring device.

[0007] Furthermore, in the configuration using the adhesive member of Patent Document 2, the adhesive member that comes into contact with the skin needs to be adhesive enough to secure the core body thermometer. That is, the adhesive member needs to have enough adhesiveness to support the weight of the core body thermometer. Therefore, when removing the adhesive member or when the adhesive member is attached for a long period of time, there is a risk of skin irritation (redness, itchiness, pain, etc.). Furthermore, the adhesive member's adhesiveness decreases with frequency of use, so the adhesive member needs to be replaced periodically.

[0008] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique for stably holding a measuring device at a desired position on a subject and measuring biological information.

[0009] A bioinformation measuring device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a bioinformation measuring device, a cover member, a fixing portion, and an anti-slip portion. The bioinformation measuring device has a measurement surface that contacts a subject and measures the bioinformation of the subject. The cover member has a first surface and a second surface that faces the first surface and contacts the subject, and houses the bioinformation measuring device. The fixing portion is formed on the first surface and has a structure for fixing the cover member to clothing worn by the subject. The anti-slip portion is formed with at least a portion exposed on the second surface and holds the cover member against the subject.

[0010] In this configuration, the bioinformation measuring device is fixed to clothing or the like by a fixing portion formed on the cover member. Furthermore, the bioinformation measuring device is held to the subject (skin) by an anti-slip member. This more securely fixes the bioinformation measuring device, allowing it to continuously measure bioinformation at a desired position on the subject.

[0011] According to this invention, the biological information measuring device can be stably held at a desired position on the subject, thereby enabling continuous measurement of biological information at the desired position on the subject.

[0013] In the following embodiments, a thermometer will be used as a biological information measuring device. However, the technology of the present invention can be applied to any device that measures biological information other than body temperature by directly contacting the human body (subject), such as heart sounds and auscultatory sounds.

[0014] [First embodiment] A biological information measuring device according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the embodiment of the present invention described below, women's underwear will be used as an example of clothing, and a thermometer will be used as a biological information measuring device. The type of underwear is not limited to this, and as long as the temperature of the object to be measured and the measurement position are different, it may of course be underwear, a shirt that fits closely to the body, or the like.

[0015] (Structure of the Bio-Information Measuring Device) FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a bio-information measuring device 10 according to a first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the bio-information measuring device 10 includes a cover member 110, a fixing portion 120, an anti-slip portion 130, and a bio-information measuring instrument 150. The cover member 110 includes a first surface PS1 and a second surface PS2 that faces the first surface PS1. The second surface PS2 is the surface that contacts the skin of the subject. The cover member 110 includes a first end E1 and a second end E2 that faces the first end E1 in the XY plane in FIG. 1. The third end E3 and the fourth end E4 are located perpendicular to the direction connecting the first end E1 and the second end E2. The Z-axis direction in FIG. 1 corresponds to the thickness direction of the cover member 110 and is perpendicular to the XY plane.

[0016] 1 and 4A, the cover member 110 houses the biological information measuring device 150 inside so as to protect the portions other than the measurement surface 156 while exposing the measurement surface 156. Note that the shape of the cover member 110 shown in Fig. 1 is an example. In other words, the cover member 110 may have any shape as long as it can house the biological information measuring device 150 inside.

[0017] The fixing portion 120 is formed on the first surface PS1 of the cover member 110. The non-slip portion 130 is formed so as to be exposed on at least a portion of the second surface PS2 of the cover member 110. That is, as described above, the non-slip portion 130 comes into contact with the skin of the subject 30.

[0018] (Thermometer (biological information measuring device)) FIG. 2 is a five-view diagram of a thermometer serving as the biological information measuring device 150 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the biological information measuring device (thermometer) 150 includes a first member 151 and a second member 152. An electronic circuit for measuring body temperature is formed on the first member 151. The second member 152 covers the electronic circuit for measuring body temperature formed on the first member 151. The biological information measuring device (thermometer) 150 measures deep body temperature, for example, by converting heat transmitted from the surface of the subject's skin into an electrical signal and detecting it.

[0019] In this biological information measuring device (thermometer), the main surface on the first member 151 side serves as an attachment surface 155 to the cover member 110, and the main surface on the second member 152 side serves as a measurement surface 156 that faces the skin of the human body. Each first member 151 has a pair of side surfaces 157 and 158. In the example of FIG. 2 , the first member 151 is rectangular in plan view, with the side surface 157 being the side surface on the long side and the side surface 158 being the side surface on the short side. The biological information measuring device (thermometer) 150 is positioned so that the measurement surface 156 is substantially flush with the second surface PS2 of the cover member 110 described above.

[0020] (Attachment structure of bioinformation measuring device) Figures 3(A) and 3(B) are schematic diagrams showing a state in which the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment is attached to clothing. Figure 4(A) is a side cross-sectional view of the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment, and Figure 4(B) is a schematic diagram of the surface of the bioinformation measuring device that comes into contact with the subject.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 3A , the bioinformation measuring device 10 is fixed so that the fixing unit 120 pinches a portion of the fabric of the chest opening of the garment (upper-body underwear) 20. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 3B , the bioinformation measuring device 10 is fixed so that the fixing unit 120 pinches a portion of the tubular fabric of the garment (belly warmer) 20. That is, the fixing unit 120 fixes the garment 20 so that it pinches the outer surface and the inner surface (the surface that contacts the skin of the subject 30) of the garment 20. Furthermore, the non-slip unit 130 holds the bioinformation measuring device 10 (cover member 110) so that it contacts the skin of the subject. At this time, the bioinformation measuring device 10 is fixed by the fixing unit 120 so that the measurement surface 156 of the bioinformation measuring instrument (thermometer) 150 described above contacts the skin of the subject, and is held by the non-slip unit 130.

[0022] Next, a more specific mounting structure of the bio-information measuring device 10 will be described with reference to Figures 4(A) and 4(B). Figure 4(A) is a side cross-sectional view (XZ plane in Figure 1) showing the bio-information measuring device 10 fixed to and held by the subject 30. Figure 4(B) is a schematic diagram of the surface (XY plane in Figure 1) where the bio-information measuring device 10 abuts against the subject 30, in other words, the second surface PS2.

[0023] As described above, the fixing portion 120 is formed on the first surface PS1 of the cover member 110. The fixing portion 120 includes a first fixing member 121 and a second fixing member 122. The first fixing member 121 and the second fixing member 122 include a connecting portion 123. The first fixing member 121 and the second fixing member 122 open and close with the connecting portion 123 as a fulcrum.

[0024] In this embodiment, the second fixing member 122 is fixed to the first surface PS1. Therefore, the first fixing member 121 is configured to open. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4A , the coupling portion 123 is formed closer to the second end E2 than the center of the cover member 110 in the direction connecting the first end E1 and the second end E2 of the cover member 110 (the X-axis direction). As a result, the fixing portion 120 is configured so that the first end E1 side of the first fixing member 121 opens.

[0025] A portion of the first fixing member 121 is shaped to fit into a portion of the second fixing member 122. That is, when the first fixing member 121 and the second fixing member 122 are in a closed state, a portion of the first fixing member 121 and a portion of the second fixing member 122 fit together. In this fitted state, the garment 20 is sandwiched between the first fixing member 121 and the second fixing member 122. Note that the closed state includes a state in which the garment 20 is fixed by the fixing portion 120 even when the garment 20 is sandwiched between the first fixing member 121 and the second fixing member 122. That is, in this embodiment, the state is called the closed state even when the garment 20 is between the first fixing member 121 and the second fixing member 122.

[0026] Furthermore, it is preferable that the first fixing member 121 and the second fixing member 122 have unevenness formed on the surfaces that come into contact with the garment 20. The unevenness can prevent the bio-information measuring device 10 from shifting from the garment 20. Note that the surfaces of the first fixing member 121 and the second fixing member 122 that come into contact with the garment 20 are not limited to structures with unevenness formed, and may instead be made of a non-slip material such as silicone rubber or gel.

[0027] The fastening part 120 may be made of, for example, metal (e.g., iron) or elastic resin (e.g., silicone), etc. The material of the fastening part 120 is not limited to these, and any material may be used as long as it is capable of fastening the garment 20 and is unlikely to be damaged or worn even when opened and closed multiple times.

[0028] The coupling portion 123 can be omitted if the first fixing member 121 and the second fixing member 122 are shaped to fit together and be openable and closable. In other words, if the first fixing member 121 and the second fixing member 122 are openable and closable, the coupling portion 123 can be omitted.

[0029] The non-slip portion 130 is formed on the second surface PS2 of the cover member 110. As shown in FIG. 4B , the non-slip portion 130 is formed along the outer periphery of the cover member 110. When viewed from the wearing surface side, the non-slip portion 130 is formed around the entire periphery, outside the biological information measuring device (thermometer) 150. The width of the non-slip portion 130 in the XY plane may be determined based on the weight and size of the biological information measuring device 10. Note that the outer periphery of the non-slip portion 130 in the XY plane may overlap with the outer periphery of the cover member 110.

[0030] The anti-slip portion 130 prevents sideslippage by utilizing the frictional force (resistance) and elasticity of the surface of the material. The anti-slip portion 130 and the skin of the subject 30 are positioned by frictional force. In this case, the anti-slip portion 130 is preferably made of a material that does not exhibit resistance to a force that would peel it off from the skin of the subject 30 (a force in the Z-axis direction (a direction perpendicular to the XY plane)). The anti-slip portion 130 may be made of, for example, silicone rubber or acrylic resin. It is also preferably water-based so that it can be washed off with water even if it adheres to the skin of the subject 30. The anti-slip portion 130 may be detachable from the cover member 110. For example, the anti-slip portion 130 may be fixed to the cover member 110 using a hook-and-loop fastener or the like.

[0031] As shown in Figures 4(A) and 4(B), the bio-information measuring device 10 is fixed and held in place by using a fixing portion 120 and an anti-slip portion 130 so that the second surface PS2 of the cover member 110 and the measuring surface 156 of the bio-information measuring instrument (thermometer) 150 abut against the subject 30.

[0032] By providing the fixing portion 120 and the non-slip portion 130, the biological information measuring device 10 can be stably fixed and held at a desired position on the subject 30. This allows the body temperature to be continuously measured at a desired position on the subject 30.

[0033] In other words, the biological information measuring device 10 can be prevented from coming off or shifting from the subject 30, so the body temperature of the subject 30 can be measured accurately.

[0034] Furthermore, the non-slip portion 130 is substantially non-adhesive. Therefore, even if the subject 30 wears the bio-information measuring device 10 for a long period of time, adverse health effects such as rough skin (redness, itchiness, pain, etc.) are suppressed. Furthermore, the non-slip portion 130 is substantially non-adhesive. Therefore, the non-slip portion 130 does not need to be replaced periodically due to a decrease in adhesiveness depending on the frequency of use. Therefore, it is easy for the subject to use.

[0035] In addition, in contrast to the above-described configuration, the surfaces of the first fixing member 121 and the second fixing member 122 that come into contact with the garment 20 may be configured to have small protrusions that generate frictional force.

[0036] [Second Embodiment] A bioinformation measuring device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 5(A) is a side cross-sectional view showing a state in which a bioinformation measuring device 10A is fixed to and held by a subject 30. Fig. 5(B) is a schematic diagram of the surface of the bioinformation measuring device 10A that contacts the subject 30.

[0037] 5A and 5B, the bioinformation measuring device according to the second embodiment differs from the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment in the shape of the non-slip portion 130A. The other configuration of the bioinformation measuring device according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment, and therefore a description of the same parts will be omitted.

[0038] As shown in Figures 5(A) and 5(B), the anti-slip portion 130A has a shape in which a part of the anti-slip portion 130 in the first embodiment is cut out. More specifically, as shown in Figure 5(B), the anti-slip portion 130A has a notch 135 extending along the X-axis direction. This notch 135 is an area in which the anti-slip portion 130A is not formed.

[0039] Even with such a structure including the fixing portion 120 and the non-slip portion 130A, the biological information measuring device 10A is stably held in a desired position on the subject 30. This allows the body temperature to be continuously measured at a desired position on the subject 30.

[0040] That is, the biological information measuring device 10A can be prevented from coming off or shifting from the subject 30, so that the body temperature of the subject 30 can be measured accurately.

[0041] In the above-described configuration, the notch 135 is formed in two locations along the X-axis direction. However, the notch 135 may be formed in one location. Alternatively, the notch 135 may be formed along the Y-axis direction.

[0042] [Modification of Second Embodiment] A bioinformation measuring device according to a modification of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 6(A) is a side cross-sectional view showing a state in which the bioinformation measuring device 10B is fixed to and held by the subject 30. Fig. 6(B) is a schematic diagram of the surface of the bioinformation measuring device 10B that contacts the subject 30.

[0043] 6A and 6B, the bioinformation measuring device according to the modified example of the second embodiment differs from the bioinformation measuring device according to the second embodiment in the shape of the anti-slip portion 130B. The other configuration of the bioinformation measuring device according to the modified example of the second embodiment is the same as that of the bioinformation measuring device according to the second embodiment, and therefore a description of the same parts will be omitted.

[0044] 6A and 6B, the anti-slip portion 130B differs from the anti-slip portion 130B in the second embodiment in that a portion of the anti-slip portion 130B has a first anti-slip portion 131B and a second anti-slip portion 132B. The area of ​​the first anti-slip portion 131B in the XY plane is larger than the area of ​​the second anti-slip portion 132B.

[0045] Here, a structure for fixing and holding the bio-information measuring device 10B will be described using Fig. 3(A). As shown in Fig. 3(A), when fixing and holding the bio-information measuring device 10B, the second end E2 (joint 123) is positioned near the neck of the subject 30. That is, gravity acts on the bio-information measuring device 10B in the direction from the second end E2 to the first end E1 (hereinafter referred to as the first direction). Therefore, the bio-information measuring device 10B is more likely to slide in the first direction.

[0046] However, because the first anti-slip portion 131B has a larger area than the second anti-slip portion 132B, slippage in the first direction (the direction of gravity) can be suppressed, and the biological information measuring device 10B can be more effectively fixed and held. In addition, this structure is also effective against a force caused by the garment 20 being pulled in the first direction by the movement of the subject 30.

[0047] Therefore, by providing such fixing portion 120 and anti-slip portion 130B, the biological information measuring device 10B can be stably fixed and held at a desired position on the subject 30. This allows the body temperature to be continuously measured at a desired position on the subject 30.

[0048] That is, the biological information measuring device 10B can be prevented from coming off or shifting from the subject 30, so that the body temperature of the subject 30 can be measured accurately.

[0049] [Third Embodiment] A bioinformation measuring device according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 7(A) is a side cross-sectional view showing a state in which a bioinformation measuring device 10C is fixed to and held by a subject 30. Fig. 7(B) is a schematic diagram of the surface of the bioinformation measuring device 10C that contacts the subject 30. Fig. 7(C) is a diagram showing an outline of a fixing portion 120C in the bioinformation measuring device.

[0050] 7A, 7B, and 7C, the bioinformation measuring device according to the third embodiment differs from the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment in the shape of the fixing part 120C. The other configuration of the bioinformation measuring device according to the third embodiment is the same as that of the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment, and therefore a description of the same parts will be omitted.

[0051] The fixing portion 120C includes a first fixing member 121C and a second fixing member 122C. The first fixing member 121C and the second fixing member 122C are connected to each other. The fixing portion 120C is folded in two starting from the point where the first fixing member 121C and the second fixing member 122C are connected to each other. In the example shown in FIGS. 7(A) and 7(C), the fixing portion 120C is folded so that the first fixing member 121C and the second fixing member 122C are in contact at a fixing point 123C near the side opposite the folded side. In other words, by lifting the second fixing member 122C in the Z-axis direction (upward in FIG. 7(A)), it becomes possible to sandwich the garment 20 between the first fixing member 121C and the second fixing member 122C.

[0052] By providing the fixing portion 120C and the non-slip portion 130, the biological information measuring device 10C can be stably fixed and held at a desired position on the subject 30. This allows the body temperature to be continuously measured at a desired position on the subject 30.

[0053] That is, the biological information measuring device 10C can be prevented from coming off or shifting from the subject 30, so that the body temperature of the subject 30 can be measured accurately.

[0054] [Fourth embodiment] A bioinformation measuring device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 8(A) is a side cross-sectional view showing a state in which a bioinformation measuring device 10D is fixed to and held by a subject 30. Fig. 8(B) is a schematic diagram of the surface of the bioinformation measuring device 10D that contacts the subject 30.

[0055] 8A and 8B, the bioinformation measuring device according to the fourth embodiment differs from the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment in that it includes a recessed portion 140. Other configurations of the bioinformation measuring device according to the fourth embodiment are the same as those of the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment, and therefore, a description of similar parts will be omitted.

[0056] In the example shown in FIG. 8A , the recessed portions 140 are recesses formed in the non-slip portion 130D. The recessed portions 140 are formed at the four corners of the cover member 110 (non-slip portion 130D) and in a portion extending along the X-axis direction. As described above, the non-slip portion 130D is formed from silicone rubber, acrylic resin, or the like, and has a predetermined elasticity. Therefore, the recessed portions 140 function like suction cups. More specifically, the recessed portions 140 create a pressure difference with the atmospheric pressure by creating a low pressure state inside. This improves the adhesive effect of the recessed portions 140 on the skin of the subject 30.

[0057] By providing the fixing portion 120, the non-slip portion 130D, and the recessed portion 140, the biological information measuring device 10D can be stably fixed and held at a desired position on the subject 30. This allows the body temperature to be continuously measured at a desired position on the subject 30.

[0058] That is, the biological information measuring device 10D can be prevented from coming off or shifting from the subject 30, so that the body temperature of the subject 30 can be measured accurately.

[0059] [Modification of Fourth Embodiment] A bioinformation measuring device according to a modification of the fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 9(A) is a side cross-sectional view showing a state in which the bioinformation measuring device 10E is fixed to and held by a subject 30. Fig. 9(B) is a schematic diagram of the surface of the bioinformation measuring device 10E that contacts the subject 30.

[0060] 9(A) and 9(B), the bioinformation measuring device according to the modified example of the fourth embodiment differs from the bioinformation measuring device according to the fourth embodiment in the number of recessed portions 140. Other configurations of the bioinformation measuring device according to the modified example of the fourth embodiment are the same as those of the bioinformation measuring device according to the fourth embodiment, and therefore, a description of similar parts will be omitted.

[0061] 9A and 9B, the number of recesses 140 formed differs from that of the fourth embodiment. The recesses 140 include first recesses 141 and second recesses 142. More specifically, the number of first recesses 141 formed at the first end E1 is greater than the number of second recesses 142 formed at the second end E2.

[0062] 3A, when the bio-information measuring device 10E is fixed and held, the second end E2 (joint 123) is positioned near the neck of the subject 30. That is, gravity acts on the bio-information measuring device 10E in the direction from the second end E2 to the first end E1 (first direction). Therefore, the bio-information measuring device 10E is easily slidable in the first direction.

[0063] However, since the number of first recesses 141 formed at the first end E1 is greater than the number of second recesses 142 formed at the second end E2, slippage in the first direction (the direction of gravity) can be suppressed, and the biological information measuring device 10E can be more effectively fixed and held. In addition, this structure is also effective against a force caused by the subject 30's movement pulling the garment 20 in the first direction.

[0064] Therefore, by providing the fixing portion 120, the non-slip portion 130, and the recessed portion 140 (the first recessed portion 141 and the second recessed portion 142), the biological information measuring device 10E is stably fixed and held at a desired position on the subject 30. This allows the body temperature to be continuously measured at a desired position on the subject 30.

[0065] That is, the biological information measuring device 10E can be prevented from coming off or shifting from the subject 30, so that the body temperature of the subject 30 can be measured accurately.

[0066] In the above-described configuration, the number of first recesses 141 is different from the number of second recesses 142. However, the size of the first recesses 141 at the first end E1 may be larger than the size of the second recesses 142 at the second end E2.

[0067] [Fifth Embodiment] A bioinformation measuring device according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 10(A) is a side cross-sectional view showing a state in which a bioinformation measuring device 10F is fixed to and held by a subject 30. Fig. 10(B) is a schematic diagram of the surface of the bioinformation measuring device 10F that contacts the subject 30.

[0068] 10(A) and 10(B), the bioinformation measuring device according to the fifth embodiment differs from the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment in that it includes an adhesive layer 160. The other configurations of the bioinformation measuring device according to the fifth embodiment are the same as those of the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment, and therefore, a description of the same parts will be omitted.

[0069] 10(A) and 10(B), an adhesive layer 160 is formed on the second surface PS2 of the cover member 110. The adhesive layer 160 is formed inside the area where the anti-slip portion 130 is formed in the XY plane.

[0070] The adhesive layer 160 uses the adhesive properties of the material to hold the bio-information measuring device 10F in place. The adhesive layer 160 adheres to the skin of the subject 30 to a degree that it will not separate from the skin of the subject 30 when a predetermined force is applied in the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction. However, it is preferable that the material be such that the bio-information measuring device 10F separates from the skin of the subject 30 when a predetermined force or greater (a force that would peel off the adhesive layer 160) is applied to the bio-information measuring device 10F in the Z-axis direction (a direction perpendicular to the XY plane). In other words, the adhesive layer 160 does not hold the position of the bio-information measuring device 10F by itself as in the conventional case, but has adhesiveness that supports the holding state of the fixing portion 120 and the anti-slip portion 130.

[0071] The adhesive layer 160 may be formed of, for example, an adhesive gel or nonwoven tape used for medical purposes. In other words, the adhesive layer 160 may be made of a material that has a predetermined adhesiveness when attached to the skin of the subject 30, but does not cause skin irritation.

[0072] By providing the fixing portion 120, the non-slip portion 130, and the adhesive layer 160, the biological information measuring device 10F can be more stably fixed and held at a desired position on the subject 30. This allows the body temperature to be continuously measured at a desired position on the subject 30.

[0073] That is, the biological information measuring device 10F can be prevented from coming off or shifting from the subject 30, so that the body temperature of the subject 30 can be measured accurately.

[0074] [Sixth embodiment] A bioinformation measuring device according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 11(A) is a side cross-sectional view showing a state in which a bioinformation measuring device 10G is fixed to and held by a subject 30. Fig. 11(B) is a schematic diagram of the surface of the bioinformation measuring device 10G that contacts the subject 30.

[0075] 11A and 11B, the bioinformation measuring device according to the sixth embodiment differs from the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment in the shape of a fixing part 120G. The other configuration of the bioinformation measuring device according to the sixth embodiment is the same as that of the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment, and a description of the same parts will be omitted.

[0076] The fixing part 120G includes a spring part 121G and a fixing member 122G. The fixing member 122G is fixed to the first surface PS1 of the cover member 110 by the spring part 121G. The spring part 121G assists in opening and closing the fixing member 122G. More specifically, the spring part 121G opens and closes the fixing member 122G using elastic force. In this case, it is preferable that the spring part 121G has a stopper that can maintain the closed state when the fixing member 122G is in a closed state (a state in which the garment 20 is sandwiched between the fixing member 122G and the fixing member 122G is closed).

[0077] By providing the fixing portion 120G and the non-slip portion 130, the biological information measuring device 10G can be stably fixed and held at a desired position on the subject 30. This allows the body temperature to be continuously measured at a desired position on the subject 30.

[0078] That is, the biological information measuring device 10G can be prevented from coming off or shifting from the subject 30, so that the body temperature of the subject 30 can be measured accurately.

[0079] [Seventh Embodiment] A biological information measuring device according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 12(A) is a side cross-sectional view showing a state in which a biological information measuring device 10H is fixed to and held by a subject 30. Fig. 12(B) is a view from the first surface PS1 side showing a state in which the biological information measuring device 10H is fixed to and held by a subject 30. Figs. 13(A) and 13(B) are schematic diagrams showing a state in which a biological information measuring device 10H according to a sixth embodiment is attached to clothing.

[0080] 12A and 12B, the bioinformation measuring device according to the seventh embodiment differs from the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment in the shape of the fixing part 120H. The other configuration of the bioinformation measuring device according to the seventh embodiment is the same as that of the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment, and therefore a description of the same parts will be omitted.

[0081] As will be described below, the fixing portion 120H of the biological information measuring device 10H is configured to be attached to the strings of a brassiere, for example, as shown in Figures 13(A) and 13(B). That is, in the example shown below, the strings of a brassiere will be described as clothing 20.

[0082] As shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B , the fixing portion 120H includes a first fixing member 121H, a second fixing member 122H, and a third fixing member 123H. The fixing portion 120H is made of a synthetic resin such as plastic. One end of the first fixing member 121H is attached to an end of the third fixing member 123H (the third end E3 of the cover member 110). One end of the second fixing member 122H is attached to an end of the third fixing member 123H (the fourth end E4 of the cover member 110). Note that in this embodiment, an example will be described in which the width of the third fixing member 123H in the Y-axis direction is the same as the width of the cover member 110 in the Y-axis direction. However, it is preferable that the width of the third fixing member 123H in the Y-axis direction be at least long enough to secure the garment (bra strap) 20.

[0083] First fixing member 121H and second fixing member 122H are flat membrane-shaped and made of a material that can be deformed by human force. This allows first fixing member 121H and second fixing member 122H to bend or fold relative to third fixing member 123H. However, first fixing member 121H and second fixing member 122H can easily return to a shape where they overlap and are approximately parallel to third fixing member 123H due to their restoring force.

[0084] The first fixing member 121H and the second fixing member 122H may be fixed to the third fixing member 123H by an elastic member. This allows the first fixing member 121H and the second fixing member 122H of the fixing portion 120H to be easily opened and closed, facilitating attachment of the bio-information measuring device 10H. The first fixing member 121H and the second fixing member 122H may also have an elastic stopper that maintains the closed state when the fixing portion 120H is in a closed state (a state in which the garment 20 is clamped). The open state refers to a state in which the garment 20 is not clamped by the fixing portion 120H.

[0085] As shown in Figures 12(B), 13(A), and 13(B), the bio-information measuring device 10H is fixed by the fixing portion 120H so that the clothing (bra strap) 20 is sandwiched between them. More specifically, the first fixing member 121H is configured to overlap the second fixing member 122H in the Z-axis direction. In other words, the second fixing member 122H fixes the clothing 20. Furthermore, the first fixing member 121H fixes the second fixing member 122H and the clothing 20. In this way, the bio-information measuring device 10H is fixed to the clothing 20.

[0086] By providing the fixing portion 120H and the non-slip portion 130, the biological information measuring device 10H can be stably fixed and held at a desired position on the subject 30. This allows the body temperature to be continuously measured at a desired position on the subject 30.

[0087] That is, the biological information measuring device 10H can be prevented from coming off or shifting from the subject 30, so that the body temperature of the subject 30 can be measured accurately.

[0088] [Modification of Seventh Embodiment] A bioinformation measuring device according to a modification of the seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 14(A) is a side cross-sectional view showing a state in which the bioinformation measuring device 10J is fixed to and held by a subject 30. Fig. 14(B) is a view of the bioinformation measuring device 10J fixed to and held by a subject 30 as viewed from the first surface PS1 side.

[0089] 14A and 14B, the bioinformation measuring device according to the modified example of the seventh embodiment differs from the bioinformation measuring device according to the seventh embodiment in the shape of a cover member 110J. The other configurations of the bioinformation measuring device according to the modified example of the seventh embodiment are the same as those of the bioinformation measuring device according to the seventh embodiment, and therefore, a description of the same parts will be omitted.

[0090] As shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B , the first surface PS1 of the cover member 110J includes a fifth end E5 and a sixth end E6. The cover member 110J is shaped to include a convex portion 115J on the sixth end E6 side of the first surface PS1 (close to the neck of the subject 30). The convex portion 115J protrudes outward from the first surface PS1 (in a direction different from the measurement surface 156). The convex portion 115J allows the garment (bra strap) 20 to be threaded according to the body shape of the wearer, and the inclination of the convex portion 115J makes it easier for the garment (bra strap) 20 to get caught. Therefore, gravity acting in the first direction is suppressed. This structure also effectively resists the force caused by the garment 20 being pulled in the first direction by the subject 30's movements.

[0091] By providing the fixing portion 120J and the non-slip portion 130, and further providing the protrusion 115J on the cover member 110J, the biological information measuring device 10J can be stably fixed and held at a desired position on the subject 30. This allows the body temperature to be continuously measured at a desired position on the subject 30.

[0092] That is, the biological information measuring device 10J can be prevented from coming off or shifting from the subject 30, so that the body temperature of the subject 30 can be measured accurately.

[0093] [Eighth Embodiment] A bioinformation measuring device according to an eighth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 15(A) is a side cross-sectional view showing a state in which a bioinformation measuring device 10K is fixed to and held by a subject 30. Fig. 15(B) is a view of the bioinformation measuring device 10K fixed to and held by a subject 30 as viewed from the first surface PS1 side.

[0094] 15A and 15B, the bioinformation measuring device according to the eighth embodiment differs from the bioinformation measuring device according to the seventh embodiment in the shape of a fixing part 120K and the shape of a cover member 110K. The other configuration of the bioinformation measuring device according to the eighth embodiment is the same as that of the bioinformation measuring device according to the seventh embodiment, and a description of similar parts will be omitted.

[0095] 15(A) and 15(B), the fixing portion 120K includes a first fixing portion 120K1 and a second fixing portion 120K2. The first fixing portion 120K1 and the second fixing portion 120K2 may be molded integrally or separately.

[0096] The cover member 110K has a shape including a protrusion 115K at approximately the center of the cover member 110K in the XZ plane. In other words, the connection portion between the first fixing portion 120K1 and the second fixing portion 120K2 is bent along the corner of the protrusion 115K.

[0097] The first fixing portion 120K1 includes a first fixing member 121K1, a second fixing member 122K1, and a third fixing portion 123K1. The second fixing portion 120K2 includes a first fixing member 121K2, a second fixing member 122K2, and a third fixing portion 123K2.

[0098] The fixing portions 120K (first fixing portion 120K1 and second fixing portion 120K2) are made of synthetic resin such as plastic. The first fixing member 121K1 is attached to an end of the third fixing portion 123K1 (the third end E3 side of the cover member 110K). The second fixing member 122K1 is attached to an end of the third fixing portion 123K1 (the fourth end E4 side of the cover member 110K). The first fixing member 121K2 is attached to an end of the third fixing portion 123K2 (the third end E3 side of the cover member 110K). The second fixing member 122K2 is attached to an end of the third fixing portion 123K2 (the fourth end E4 side of the cover member 110K).

[0099] The first fixing member 121K1 and the second fixing member 122K1 may be fixed to the third fixing portion 123K1 by an elastic member, which allows the first fixing member 121K1 and the second fixing member 122K1 of the first fixing portion 120K1 to be easily opened and closed, facilitating the attachment of the biological information measuring device 10K.

[0100] Similarly, the first fixing member 121K2 and the second fixing member 122K2 may be fixed to the third fixing portion 123K2 by an elastic member, which allows the first fixing member 121K2 and the second fixing member 122K2 of the second fixing portion 120K2 to be easily opened and closed, facilitating the attachment of the biological information measuring device 10K.

[0101] The first fixing member 121K1 and the second fixing member 122K1 may have a stopper that can maintain the closed state when the first fixing part 120K1 is in the closed state (when the garment 20 is sandwiched between the first fixing member 121K1 and the second fixing member 122K1). Similarly, the first fixing member 121K2 and the second fixing member 122K2 may have a stopper that can maintain the closed state when the second fixing part 120K2 is in the closed state (when the garment 20 is sandwiched between the first fixing member 121K2 and the second fixing member 122K2).

[0102] 15(B), the bio-information measuring device 10K is fixed by the fixing portion 120K so as to sandwich the garment (bra strap) 20. More specifically, the first fixing member 121K1 is configured to partially overlap the second fixing member 122K1 in the Z-axis direction. In other words, the second fixing member 122K1 fixes the garment 20. Furthermore, the first fixing member 121K1 fixes the second fixing member 122K2 and the garment 20.

[0103] Similarly, the first fixing member 121K2 is configured to partially overlap the second fixing member 122K2 in the Z-axis direction. In other words, the second fixing member 122K2 fixes the garment 20. Furthermore, the first fixing member 121K2 fixes the second fixing member 122K2 and the garment 20. In this way, the biological information measuring device 10K is fixed to the garment 20.

[0104] By providing such fixing portion 120K and non-slip portion 130, the biological information measuring device 10K can be stably fixed and held at a desired position on the subject 30, similar to the structure including the fixing portion 120K described above. This allows the body temperature to be continuously measured at a desired position on the subject 30. Furthermore, by providing this structure, it is also effective against a force caused by the garment 20 being pulled in the first direction due to the movement of the subject 30.

[0105] That is, the biological information measuring device 10K can be prevented from coming off or shifting from the subject 30, so that the body temperature of the subject 30 can be measured accurately.

[0106] [Ninth embodiment] The bioinformation measuring device according to the ninth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the figures. Figure 16(A) is a side cross-sectional view of the bioinformation measuring device according to the ninth embodiment, Figure 16(B) is a view from the first surface PS1 side, and Figure 16(C) is a schematic diagram showing an image of the bioinformation measuring device attached to clothing.

[0107] 16(A), 16(B), and 16(C), the bioinformation measuring device according to the ninth embodiment differs from the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment in the shape of the fixing part 120L. The other configuration of the bioinformation measuring device according to the ninth embodiment is the same as that of the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment, and a description of the same parts will be omitted.

[0108] 16(A), 16(B), and 16(C), the clothing 20 is placed over the cover member 110 of the bio-information measuring device 10L in the Z-axis direction. The fixing portion 120L is wrapped around the cover member 110 in the XY plane when the clothing 20 is placed over the cover member 110. In other words, the clothing 20 is fastened to the cover member 110 by the fixing portion 120L. In this way, the bio-information measuring device 10L is fixed to the clothing 20.

[0109] The fixing portion 120L is preferably formed of elastic rubber or the like. The elastic fixing portion 120L can suppress the influence of the material, thickness, surface protrusions, etc. of the clothing 20. In other words, the fixing portion 120L can stably fix the clothing 20. The fixing portion 120L is preferably ring-shaped. The ring-shaped fixing portion 120L allows the subject 30 to fix the bio-information measuring device 10L in an easier manner.

[0110] Furthermore, the fixing portion 120L may be made of any material that can fix the garment 20 even if it has no elasticity. The cover member 110L may have a protrusion (not shown) whose upper end protrudes laterally more than its lower end. The fixing portion 120L fits into a groove formed by the protrusion, thereby fixing the bio-information measuring device 10L to the garment 20 and preventing it from coming off the garment 20. Furthermore, if the fixing portion 120L does not have elasticity, it is preferably string-shaped. The bio-information measuring device 10L and the garment 20 can be fixed by tying the ends of the string-shaped fixing portion 120L.

[0111] By providing the fixing portion 120L and the non-slip portion 130, the biological information measuring device 10L can be stably fixed and held at a desired position on the subject 30. This allows the body temperature to be continuously measured at a desired position on the subject 30.

[0112] That is, the biological information measuring device 10L can be prevented from coming off or shifting from the subject 30, so that the body temperature of the subject 30 can be measured accurately.

[0113] [Tenth Embodiment] A bioinformation measuring device according to a tenth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 17(A) is a side cross-sectional view showing a state in which a bioinformation measuring device 10M is fixed to and held by a subject 30. Fig. 17(B) is a schematic diagram of the surface of the bioinformation measuring device 10M that contacts the subject 30.

[0114] 17A and 17B, the bioinformation measuring device according to the tenth embodiment differs from the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment in the shape of a cover member 110M and the configuration of an anti-slip portion 130M. The other configuration of the bioinformation measuring device according to the tenth embodiment is the same as that of the bioinformation measuring device according to the first embodiment, and a description of similar parts will be omitted.

[0115] 17(A) and 17(B), the biological information measuring device 150 is housed inside the cover member 110M. That is, the cover member 110M may have any shape as long as it can house the biological information measuring device 150. The cover member 110M abuts against the subject 30 at the second surface PS2.

[0116] The cover member 110M is made of a cloth-like material. Examples of such cloth-like materials include cotton, acrylic, polyester, nylon, rayon, and polyurethane elastic fibers. By making the cover member 110M out of a cloth-like material, it is possible to prevent skin irritation of the subject 30. The cover member 110M is preferably bag-shaped and is preferably made of a material that is stretchable so as to fit the outer surface of the bio-information measuring device 150. Furthermore, it is preferable that the cover member 110M has sufficient strength (elasticity) to fix the position of the bio-information measuring device 150 inside.

[0117] Furthermore, a non-slip portion 130M is formed on the surface (second surface PS2) of the cover member 110M that contacts the subject 30. This non-slip portion 130M is made of a non-slip and elastic material such as acrylic. The structure including this non-slip portion 130M makes it possible to easily fix the bio-information measuring device 10M to the skin of the subject.

[0118] The above-described configuration includes the anti-slip portion 130M. However, if the cover member 110M is made of a blend of materials, such as a blend of cotton and acrylic or a blend of cotton and polyester, the anti-slip effect will be greater than a predetermined level. In this case, the anti-slip portion 130M can be omitted. This can further prevent rough skin of the subject 30.

[0119] By providing such cover member 110M and non-slip portion 130M, the biological information measuring device 10M can be more stably fixed and held in a desired position on the subject 30. This allows the body temperature to be continuously measured at a desired position on the subject 30. Furthermore, because the cover member 110M and the non-slip portion 130M are made of a cloth-like material that can prevent rough skin on the subject 30, the subject 30 can continuously measure their body temperature without feeling any discomfort during measurement.

[0120] In other words, the bio-information measuring device 10M is prevented from coming off or shifting from the subject 30, and is less likely to cause discomfort to the subject 30, so the body temperature of the subject 30 can be measured accurately and the subject 30 can continue to measure without any strain.

[0121] [Eleventh Embodiment] A bioinformation measuring device according to an eleventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 18(A) is a side cross-sectional view showing a state in which a bioinformation measuring device 10N is fixed to and held by a subject 30. Fig. 18(B) is a schematic diagram of the surface of the bioinformation measuring device 10N that contacts the subject 30.

[0122] 18(A) and 18(B), the bioinformation measuring device according to the 11th embodiment differs from the bioinformation measuring device according to the fifth embodiment in that it further includes an adhesive cloth portion 180. The other configuration of the bioinformation measuring device according to the 11th embodiment is the same as that of the bioinformation measuring device according to the fifth embodiment, and therefore a description of the same parts will be omitted.

[0123] 18(A) and 18(B), a cloth adhesive portion 180 is formed on the second surface PS2 of the cover member 110 so as to abut against the adhesive layer 160. The cloth adhesive portion 180 is formed so as to include the portion in the XY plane where the anti-slip portion 130 is formed. This cloth adhesive portion 180 abuts against the skin of the subject 30.

[0124] The adhesive cloth portion 180 is made of a cloth-like material. Examples of such cloth-like materials include cotton, acrylic, polyester, nylon, rayon, and polyurethane elastic fibers. When the adhesive cloth portion 180 is made of a blend of materials, such as a blend of cotton and acrylic or a blend of cotton and polyester, it has a predetermined level of anti-slip effect. By making the adhesive cloth portion 180 out of a cloth-like material, rough skin of the subject 30 can be prevented.

[0125] By providing such a cloth adhesive portion 180, the biological information measuring device 10N can be more stably fixed and held at a desired position on the subject 30. This allows the body temperature to be continuously measured at a desired position on the subject 30. Furthermore, because the cloth adhesive portion 180 is made of a cloth-like material that can prevent rough skin on the subject 30, the subject 30 can continuously measure their body temperature without feeling any discomfort during measurement.

[0126] In other words, the bio-information measuring device 10N is prevented from coming off or shifting from the subject 30, and is less likely to cause discomfort to the subject 30, so the body temperature of the subject 30 can be measured accurately and the subject 30 can continue to measure without any strain.

[0127] The configurations of the above-described embodiments and derivative examples can be combined as appropriate, and effects according to each combination can be achieved.

[0128] In addition, in each of the above-described embodiments, the biological information measuring device is attached to a position on the chest side, but this is not limited to the chest side. The attachment position can be changed as appropriate depending on the biological information to be measured.

[0129] Furthermore, in each of the above-described embodiments, the thermometer may have additional functions other than the function of measuring body temperature. For example, the thermometer may include a transmission unit. In this case, the thermometer can transmit the measured body temperature to an external device (e.g., a personal computer, a smartphone, etc.) via wireless communication using the transmission unit. The thermometer may also include a storage medium. In this case, the thermometer can store the measured body temperature in the storage medium. By including the storage medium and the transmission unit, the thermometer can transmit the stored body temperature via wireless communication using the transmission unit. Furthermore, the thermometer may include a notification unit. In this case, the thermometer can issue various notifications using the measured body temperature as a trigger. The notification unit may be, for example, a light-emitting element such as an LED, a speaker, a vibrator, etc.

[0130] The correspondence between the configuration of this invention and the above-mentioned configurations is described below. [Note] <1> A biological information measuring device comprising: a biological information measuring instrument having a measurement surface that contacts a subject and measures biological information of the subject; a cover member that has a first surface and a second surface that faces the first surface and contacts the subject and that houses the biological information measuring instrument; a fixing portion that is formed on the first surface and has a structure for fixing the cover member to clothing worn by the subject; and an anti-slip portion that is formed on the second surface and at least a portion of which is exposed and that holds the cover member against the subject.
