FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a small electrocardiograph as an example of the portable medical device of the present invention.

The electrocardiograph 10 shown in FIG. 1 is attached to a charging stand 20 for charging the built-in battery of the electrocardiograph 10. When the electrocardiograph 10 is attached to the charging stand 20 as shown in FIG. 1, the contacts of the electrocardiograph 10 and the charging stand 20 are connected to each other, and the built-in battery of the electrocardiograph 10 is charged. Note that the power cable, power plug, and the like provided in the charging stand 20 are not shown here.

An electrode (not shown) is connected to the electrocardiograph 10, and the electrocardiograph 10 collects an electrocardiographic waveform and other biological information at the time of examination.

A display screen 11 and various operation buttons 12 are arranged on the front surface of the electrocardiograph 10. Various data and instructions are input to the electrocardiograph 10 by operating the operation buttons 12. In addition, biological information such as the state of the electrocardiograph 10 and the measured electrocardiographic waveform is displayed on the display screen 11.

FIG. 2 is an internal configuration diagram of the electrocardiograph whose appearance is shown in FIG.

The electrocardiograph 10 includes a control unit 100, an operation / display unit 101, a biometric information acquisition unit 102, a built-in memory 103, a wireless LAN transmission unit 104, a battery 105, and a mounting detection unit 106.

The control unit 100 has an arithmetic function for executing a program, and is responsible for controlling the entire electrocardiograph 10 by executing various programs.

The operation / display unit 101 includes the display screen 11 and the operation button 12 shown in FIG. 1, transmits the operation of the operation button 12 to the control unit 100, and responds to the instruction of the control unit 100 on the display screen 11. It is responsible for displaying images. From this operation / display unit 101, the ID number, name, and the like of the subject to be inspected for the electrocardiographic waveform and the like are also input.

Further, the biological information acquisition unit 102 is responsible for acquiring biological information such as an electrocardiographic waveform based on the signal picked up by the electrode connected to the electrocardiograph 10.

Further, the built-in memory 103 is a memory for temporarily storing the biometric information acquired by the biometric information acquisition unit 102. The biometric information acquired by the biometric information acquisition unit 102 is stored in the built-in memory 103 in association with the ID number, name, etc. input from the operation / display unit 101.

Further, the wireless LAN transmission unit 104 uses the built-in antenna 104a for the wireless LAN in response to the instruction of the control unit 100 to direct the biometric information stored in the internal memory 103 toward the pre-registered reception destination. Is transmitted wirelessly.

Further, the electrocardiograph 10 has a built-in battery 105. The electric power of the battery 105 is supplied to each part of the electrocardiograph 10, and the electrocardiograph 10 operates with the supplied electric power. When the electrocardiograph 10 is attached to the charging stand 20 (see FIG. 1), the battery 105 is charged by receiving electric power from the charging stand 20.

The electrocardiograph 10 is provided with a mounting detection unit 106 that detects mounting on the charging stand 20. When the electrocardiograph 10 is attached to the charging stand 20, the attachment is detected by the attachment detection unit 106 and transmitted to the control unit 100.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an operation flow of the electrocardiograph at the time of an examination for acquiring biological information such as an electrocardiographic waveform.

Here, first, the inspection type is selected (step S11). Here, one of an electrocardiogram examination, an arrhythmia examination, and a rhythm measurement examination is selected.

Next, the subject information is input (step S12). Here, the subject information, that is, the subject's ID number, gender, age, name, height, weight, and the like are input by operating the operation button 12 shown in FIG.

Then, the inspection is performed (step S13).

When the examination is completed (step S14), the biometric information obtained by the examination is the information of the examination type selected in step S11, the subject information input in step S12, the examination date and time information, and the like. It is associated and stored in the built-in memory 103 (see FIG. 2) (step S15).

These steps S11 to S15 are repeated for the number of inspections (step S16).

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a first example of the operation flow of the electrocardiograph when the charging stand is attached. This operation flow is repeatedly executed at a cycle of 1 second, except for the timing when the electrocardiograph 10 is performing other processing such as during transmission or inspection.

Here, first, it is determined whether or not the electrocardiograph 10 is attached to the charging stand 20 (step S21). If it is not installed, this process ends without doing anything after that.

When it is determined in step S21 that the electrocardiograph 10 is attached to the charging stand 20, it is next determined whether or not the wireless LAN connection setting is valid (step S22). If the wireless LAN connection setting is invalid, this process ends.

If it is determined in step S22 that the wireless LAN connection setting is valid, then it is determined whether or not there is untransmitted biometric information in the internal memory 103 (step S23). When there is no untransmitted biometric information in the built-in memory 103, this process ends.

In step S23, when it is determined that there is untransmitted biometric information in the built-in memory 103, the biometric information stored in the built-in memory 103 corresponds to the biometric information, the information of the test type, the subject. It is transmitted to a pre-registered recipient together with ancillary information such as information and inspection date / time information (step S24). When the biometric information is transmitted, the biometric information that has been transmitted is deleted from the built-in memory 103. Alternatively, even if the biometric information is transmitted, the biometric information is simply marked as transmitted and not erased, and the internal memory 103 becomes full and new biometric information is stored in the internal memory 103. It may be a system that erases old biometric information when it is stored. Further, when the transmission is completed, "Display 1" is displayed on the display screen 11 (see FIG. 1) for a certain period of time (step S25).

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing “Display 1”.

This "display 1" is a display for notifying the user that the transmission has been completed, and is described here as "untransmitted information has been transmitted."

According to the operation flow of the first example shown in FIG. 4, reliable transmission is possible without interfering with the inspection.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a second example of the operation flow of the electrocardiograph when the charging stand is attached. The operation flow of the second example is also repeatedly executed at a cycle of 1 second, except for the timing when the electrocardiograph 10 is performing other processing such as during transmission or inspection. The same applies to the operation flows of the third and subsequent examples, which will be described later, except for the operation flow shown in FIG.

Steps S26 to S28 are added to the operation flow of the second example shown in FIG. 6 with respect to the operation flow of the first example shown in FIG. Here, the description of the same steps as in the first example is omitted, and only the added steps will be described.

If it is determined in step S23 that untransmitted information exists, "display 2" is displayed on the display screen 11 (step S26).

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing “Display 2”.

This "display 2" is a display for asking the user whether or not to transmit the untransmitted information in the built-in memory 103 (see FIG. 2) of the electrocardiograph 10.

The operation button 12 shown in FIG. 1 is operated to instruct either a transmission instruction (“1. Yes”) or a non-transmission instruction (“2. No”) (step S27 in FIG. 6). If the instruction is a transmission instruction (“1. Yes”) (step S28), transmission is executed (step S24). If the instruction is an instruction not to transmit (“2. No”), the process according to the operation flow shown in FIG. 6 is terminated without transmitting.

The operation flow of the second example shown in FIG. 6 has a function of inquiring whether or not transmission is performed when the charger is attached. Therefore, according to the operation flow of the second example, it is possible to prevent forgetting to transmit and to execute the transmission at the user's will.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a third example of the operation flow of the electrocardiograph when the charging stand is attached.

Steps S29 and S30 are added to the operation flow of the third example shown in FIG. 8 with respect to the operation flow of the second example shown in FIG. Here, the description of the same steps as in the second example will be omitted, and only the added steps will be described.

In step S29, it is determined whether the "display setting" is set to "valid" or "invalid".

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a display setting screen.

In the display setting screen shown in FIG. 9, it is set in advance whether or not to display "display 2" (see FIG. 7) on the display screen 11 when the electrocardiograph 10 is attached to the charging stand 20. It is a screen for. Operate the operation button 12 to display this display setting screen on the display screen 11, and further operate the operation button 12 to enable or disable the display of "display 2" ("1. Yes")). "2. No") is set. This valid (“1. Yes”)) or invalid (“2. No”) setting is retained until the next reset.

In step S29 of the operation flow of the third example shown in FIG. 8, the display setting on the display setting screen described with reference to FIG. 9 is set to be valid (“1. Yes”) or invalid (“2”). . No ") is judged. Then, when valid (“1. Yes”) is set, “Display 2” is displayed on the display screen 11 (step S26). Subsequent processing is the same as in the case of the second example shown in FIG.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S29 that invalidity (“2. No”) is set, the process proceeds to step S30, and “display 3” is displayed on the display screen 11 for a certain period of time.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing “Display 3”.

This "display 3" is a display for calling attention to inform the user that untransmitted information exists in the built-in memory 103 (see FIG. 2).

When the “display 3” is displayed for a certain period of time in step S30 in FIG. 8, the process shown in FIG. 8 is terminated without transmitting the untransmitted information.

The operation flow of the third example shown in FIG. 8 has a function of setting whether or not to make an inquiry by a user operation. Therefore, according to the operation flow of the third example, the portable medical device is suitable for a user who finds it bothersome to make an inquiry.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a fourth example of the operation flow of the electrocardiograph when the charging stand is attached.

In the operation flow of the fourth example shown in FIG. 11, step S31 is further added to the operation flow of the third example shown in FIG. In this fourth example, each step other than this step S31 is the same as each step in the third example shown in FIG. 8, and here, only the added step S31 will be described.

In step S31, it is determined whether the "transmission setting" is set to be enabled or disabled.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a transmission setting screen.

The transmission setting screen shown in FIG. 12 is a screen for setting in advance whether or not to automatically transmit untransmitted information in the built-in memory 103 when the electrocardiograph 10 is attached to the charging stand 20. Is. Operate the operation button 12 to display this transmission setting screen on the display screen 11, and further operate the operation button 12 to enable or disable the "transmission setting" ("1. Yes")). . No ")) is set. This valid (“1. Yes”) or invalid (“2. No”) setting is retained until the next reset.

When it is determined in step S31 of the operation flow of the fourth example shown in FIG. 11 that this "transmission setting" is set to valid ("1. Yes"), the "display setting" is set to "valid". Even if it is set, transmission of untransmitted information is executed without displaying "display 2" (step S24). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S31 of FIG. 11 that this "transmission setting" is set to invalid ("2. No"), the process proceeds to step S29, and this time, "display setting" is valid or invalid. Is judged. This "display setting" has already been described with reference to steps S29 and FIG. 9 in the third example shown in FIG. Subsequent processing of the fourth example shown in FIG. 11 is the same as the processing in the third example shown in FIG. 8, and duplicate description will be omitted.

The operation flow of the fourth example shown in FIG. 11 has both "display setting" and "transmission setting" functions. Therefore, according to the operation flow of the fourth example, as the processing when the detection unit detects the attachment to the charger, the automatic transmission of the biological information, the inquiry as to whether or not to transmit, and the automatic transmission are performed. It is possible to select either not to make an inquiry or to make an inquiry.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a fifth example of the operation flow of the electrocardiograph when the charging stand is attached.

The operation flow of the fifth example shown in FIG. 13 is an operation flow in which steps S29 and steps S26 to S28 are omitted from the operation flow of the fourth example shown in FIG.

That is, in the determination of whether the "transmission setting" in step S31 is valid or invalid, if it is determined to be invalid, the process immediately proceeds to step S30 and "display 3" (display of warning that untransmitted information exists, FIG. 10) is displayed for a certain period of time. If it is determined to be valid in step S31, transmission of untransmitted information is executed as in the fourth example shown in FIG. 11 (step S24).

As shown in this fifth example, when there is untransmitted information, it may be set whether to enable or disable the transmission, and the operation flow may be such that the "display setting" is eliminated. According to the operation flow of the fifth example, the user can set in advance whether or not to perform automatic transmission when the detection unit detects the attachment to the charger.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a transmission instruction screen.

The transmission instruction screen shown in FIG. 14 is a screen for instructing transmission of biological information stored in the built-in memory 103 regardless of attachment to the charging stand 20. On the display screen 11 shown in FIG. 1, the transmission instruction screen shown in FIG. 14 is displayed according to the operation. Alternatively, without waiting for the operation by the user, for example, when a considerably large amount of biological information is accumulated in the built-in memory 103, this transmission instruction screen is popped up on the display screen 11 at the timing when the inspection or the like is not performed. You may. When "1. Yes" is specified on this transmission instruction screen, transmission of biological information is started. On the other hand, if "2. No" is specified on this transmission instruction screen, transmission is not performed at this timing.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an operation flow executed when transmission of biometric information is instructed on the transmission instruction screen of FIG.

Steps S51 and S52 are the same determination processes as steps S22 and S23 of the operation flow shown in FIG. 4, respectively, and duplicate description here will be omitted.

In step S53, the biometric information stored in the built-in memory 103 is a receiver registered in advance together with ancillary information such as test type information, subject information, and test date / time information corresponding to the biometric information. Will be sent to. When the biometric information is transmitted, the biometric information whose transmission has been completed is erased from the built-in memory 103, or a mark indicating that the biometric information transmitted this time in the built-in memory 103 without being erased has been transmitted. Is attached. When the transmission is completed, the "display 1" is displayed on the display screen 11 (see FIG. 1) for a certain period of time, and the user is informed that the transmission has been performed (step S25).

According to the operation flow shown in FIG. 15, it is possible to respond flexibly even when the charger is not nearby and the built-in memory is almost full.

Although the electrocardiograph has been described here as an example, the present invention can be widely adopted not only in the electrocardiograph but also in a portable medical device provided with a built-in battery.
