Abstract

A biological information storage system and an in-vehicle biological information storage device include a biological information detection unit configured to detect biological information of an occupant of a vehicle, an in-vehicle storage unit placed in the vehicle to store information, a portable storage unit provided in a mobile terminal that can be carried to the inside of the vehicle to store information, and an in-vehicle information processing unit capable of executing a processing of distributingly storing the biological information detected by the biological information detection unit in the in-vehicle storage unit and the portable storage unit. In this configuration, the biological information storage system and the in-vehicle biological information storage device can use the biological information inside and outside the vehicle.

Claims (20)

1. A biological information storage system comprising:

a biological information detection unit configured to detect biological information of an occupant of a vehicle;

an in-vehicle storage unit placed in the vehicle to store information;

a portable storage unit provided in a mobile terminal that can be carried to the inside of the vehicle to store information; and

an in-vehicle information processing unit configured to execute a processing of distributingly storing the biological information detected by the biological information detection unit in the in-vehicle storage unit and the portable storage unit depending on a classification of the biological information, wherein

the biological information concerns health management information, and is at least one vital sign selected from the group consisting of electrocardiogram information, a heart rate, a breathing rate, a pulse rate, a blood pressure, a body temperature, a brain wave, and a muscle current; a blood alcohol concentration; eye gaze information; or a sleeping time as derived information estimated from such information,

the portable storage unit stores the biological information detected outside the vehicle without using the in-vehicle information processing unit, and

the in-vehicle information processing unit is configured to execute a processing of associating the biological information stored in the portable storage unit and the biological information stored in the in-vehicle storage unit.

2. The biological information storage system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a vehicle external storage unit provided outside the vehicle to store information; and

a vehicle external information processing unit configured to execute a processing of storing the biological information stored in the portable storage unit in the vehicle external storage unit.

3. The biological information storage system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an operational unit configured to operate on the basis of current biological information and past biological information.

4. An in-vehicle biological information storage device comprising:

a biological information detection unit configured to detect biological information of an occupant of a vehicle;

an in-vehicle storage unit placed in the vehicle to store information; and

an in-vehicle information processing unit configured to execute a processing of distributingly storing the biological information detected by the biological information detection unit in the in-vehicle storage unit and a portable storage unit provided in a mobile terminal that can be carried to the inside of the vehicle to store information depending on a classification of the biological information, wherein

the biological information concerns health management information, and is at least one vital sign selected from the group consisting of electrocardiogram information, a heart rate, a breathing rate, a pulse rate, a blood pressure, a body temperature, a brain wave, and a muscle current; a blood alcohol concentration; eye gaze information; or a sleeping time as derived information estimated from such information,

the portable storage unit stores the biological information detected outside the vehicle without using the in-vehicle information processing unit, and

the in-vehicle information processing unit is configured to execute a processing of associating the biological information stored in the portable storage unit and the biological information stored in the in-vehicle storage unit.
