Measuring device and transmission method
A measuring device according to one aspect of the present invention includes a processor configured to acquire, from a sensor, a first, a second, a third and a fourth measurement result obtained by measuring a value related to information at time intervals using the sensor, transmit the first measurement and the second measurement result in a one-way communication packet during a first period from when the second measurement result is obtained until the third measurement result is obtained, and transmit the second and the third measurement result in the one-way communication packet during a second period from when the third measurement result is obtained until the fourth measurement result is obtained.
1. A measuring device comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory connected to the at least one processor;
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
acquire, from a sensor, a plurality of measurement results obtained by measuring a value related to information at time intervals using the sensor, the plurality of measurement results including a first measurement result, a second measurement result obtained after the first measurement result, a third measurement result obtained after the second measurement result, and a fourth measurement result obtained after the third measurement result;
transmit a plurality of measurement results including the first measurement result and the second measurement result, in a one-way communication packet during a first period from when the second measurement result is obtained until the third measurement result is obtained;
transmit a plurality of measurement results including the second measurement result and the third measurement result, in the one-way communication packet during a second period from when the third measurement result is obtained until the fourth measurement result is obtained;
determine a transmission ratio indicating a number of packets used to transmit each measurement result with respect to a number of packets transmitted in one cycle; and
set during the second period, a transmission ratio for the second measurement result to a value smaller than a value of a transmission ratio for the third measurement result.
2. The measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
acquire from a user, an instruction for designating a fifth measurement result selected by the user from the acquired measurement results;
display the fifth measurement result on a display unit; and
transmit only the fifth measurement result in the one-way communication packet during a third period in which the fifth measurement result is displayed on the display unit.
3. The measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to transmit only the second measurement result in the one-way communication packet until a predetermined time elapses after the second measurement result is obtained.
4. The measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the information includes at least one of user's biological information and user's activity information.
5. A transmission method to be performed by a measuring device, the transmission method comprising:
acquiring, from a sensor, a plurality of measurement results obtained by measuring a value related to information at time intervals using the sensor, the plurality of measurement results including a first measurement result, a second measurement result obtained after the first measurement result, a third measurement result obtained after the second measurement result, and a fourth measurement result obtained after the third measurement result;
transmitting a plurality of measurement results including the first measurement result and the second measurement result, in a one-way communication packet during a first period from when the second measurement result is obtained until the third measurement result is obtained;
transmitting a plurality of measurement results including the second measurement result and the third measurement result, in the one-way communication packet during a second period from when the third measurement result is obtained until the fourth measurement result is obtained;
