Abstract

A biological information acquisition device comprising: a first processor; and a memory connected to or incorporated in the first processor, wherein the first processor is configured to: acquire biological information of a user; store the biological information in the memory; transmit the biological information to a terminal device owned by the user via wireless communication; and delete the biological information whose transmission has been completed from the memory.

Claims (42)

1. A biological information acquisition device comprising:

a first processor; and

a memory connected to or incorporated in the first processor,

wherein the first processor is configured to:

acquire biological information of a user;

store the biological information in the memory;

transmit the biological information to a terminal device owned by the user via wireless communication;

delete the biological information whose transmission has been completed from the memory; and

establish a connection with the terminal device via the wireless communication in a case where the connection with the terminal device via the wireless communication is permitted in advance and the terminal device is within a communicable range of the wireless communication;

wherein in the terminal device, the biological information acquisition device that is a connection permission target via the wireless communication is set in advance according to at least one of identification information of the biological information acquisition device, a type of the biological information acquired by the biological information acquisition device, or an installation location of the biological information acquisition device, and

wherein the first processor is configured to establish the connection with the terminal device via the wireless communication in a case where the biological information acquisition device is included in the connection permission target set in advance in the terminal device and the terminal device is in the communicable range of the wireless communication.

2. The biological information acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein the first processor is configured to release, after transmitting the biological information to the terminal device, a connection with the terminal device via the wireless communication and deletes a connection history.

3. The biological information acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein the first processor is configured to establish a connection with the terminal device via the wireless communication after acquiring the biological information.

4. The biological information acquisition device according to claim 3 , wherein the first processor is configured to establish the connection with the terminal device via the wireless communication in a case where the connection with the terminal device via the wireless communication is permitted.

5. The biological information acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein the first processor is configured to establish a connection with the terminal device via the wireless communication in a case where the terminal device is within a communicable range of the wireless communication.

6. The biological information acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein the first processor is configured to settle a usage fee before transmitting the biological information to the terminal device.

7. The biological information acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein the biological information acquisition device is available for use by an unspecified number of users.

8. The biological information acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein the biological information indicates at least one of a body temperature, a heartbeat, an electrocardiogram, a myoelectricity, a blood pressure, a weight, a body fat percentage, a muscle mass, a bone density, a blood glucose level, a urine sugar, a urine protein, or urine occult blood.

9. The biological information acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication is a communication method using at least one of Bluetooth, a BLE beacon, or an RFID.

10. A biological information acquisition system comprising:

the biological information acquisition device according to claim 1 ; and

the terminal device including a second processor.

11. The biological information acquisition system according to claim 10 , wherein:

the terminal device further includes a storage unit connected to or incorporated in the second processor, and

the second processor is configured to store the biological information received from the biological information acquisition device in the storage unit.

12. The biological information acquisition device according to claim 1 , wherein a table in which the identification information of the biological information acquisition device, the type of the biological information acquired by the biological information acquisition device, the installation location of the biological information acquisition device, and connectability information are associated with each other is stored in the terminal device.

13. A biological information acquisition method in which a computer executes processing of:

acquiring biological information of a user;

storing the biological information in a memory;

transmitting the biological information to a terminal device owned by the user via wireless communication;

deleting the biological information whose transmission has been completed from the memory; and

establishing a connection with the terminal device via the wireless communication in a case where the connection with the terminal device via the wireless communication is permitted in advance and the terminal device is within a communicable range of the wireless communication;

wherein in the terminal device, a biological information acquisition device that is a connection permission target via the wireless communication is set in advance according to at least one of identification information of the biological information acquisition device, a type of the biological information acquired by the biological information acquisition device, or an installation location of the biological information acquisition device, and

wherein the connection with the terminal device via the wireless communication is established in a case where the biological information acquisition device is included in the connection permission target set in advance in the terminal device and the terminal device is in the communicable range of the wireless communication.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a biological information acquisition program for causing a computer to execute processing of:

acquiring biological information of a user;

storing the biological information in a memory;

transmitting the biological information to a terminal device owned by the user via wireless communication;

deleting the biological information whose transmission has been completed from the memory; and

establishing a connection with the terminal device via the wireless communication in a case where the connection with the terminal device via the wireless communication is permitted in advance and the terminal device is within a communicable range of the wireless communication;

wherein in the terminal device, a biological information acquisition device that is a connection permission target via the wireless communication is set in advance according to at least one of identification information of the biological information acquisition device, a type of the biological information acquired by the biological information acquisition device, or an installation location of the biological information acquisition device, and

wherein the connection with the terminal device via the wireless communication is established in a case where the biological information acquisition device is included in the connection permission target set in advance in the terminal device and the terminal device is in the communicable range of the wireless communication.
