JP-T-2004-508845

However, since the conventional measuring apparatus is for measuring the state of the living body by the user going to the installation place, it cannot measure the state of the living body of the user on a daily basis. Furthermore, information such as the number of steps the user has walked and the urine sugar value are not compatible with measurement by a measuring device installed at a specific location. On the other hand, pedometers and urine glucose meters have limited indicators that indicate the state of the living body being measured, and are not suitable for comprehensively managing the health of users in relation to other indicators. Because of the downsizing, there is a limit to the capacity of the mounted memory, and there is a problem that past measurement results cannot be stored for a long time.
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and comprehensively manages data measured by each of a device used by many users and a device used by each user personally. Is a solution issue.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, the health management system according to the present invention stores in advance first identification information (for example, serial ID) that each of a plurality of users owns and can uniquely identify, A first device (for example, portable device 60) capable of storing first biological data relating to a state of a user's biological body, a measurement terminal usable by the plurality of users, and a server capable of communicating with the measurement terminal. The measurement terminal comprises: a measurement unit that measures a state of the living body of the user to generate second biological data; an input unit that reads the identification information and the first biological data from the first device; An operation unit for a user to input a password, a display unit for displaying an image, and a control unit, wherein the control unit transmits the first identification information read from the first device to the server, and The first device is registered A process for confirming that the first biometric data read from the first apparatus after receiving a response indicating that the first apparatus has been registered from the server, After the first biometric data is transmitted to the server, a process for displaying a screen prompting the user to input a password on the display unit, a process for determining whether or not the user has entered a correct password, and the user When a correct password is input, various processes including data exchange with the server are executed in response to a request from the user.

  When the storage capacity allocated to the first biometric data in the first device is small, it is necessary to frequently visit the measurement terminal, but when the owner is busy, he cannot go to the measurement terminal. It may happen that the measured first biological data overflows. According to this invention, if the first identification information stored in the first device has already been registered in the server, the first biometric data stored therein is transmitted to the server even if the password is unknown. Can be stored. Therefore, if the owner of the first device requests a third party and takes the first device to the measurement terminal, the first biological data can be stored in the server. On the other hand, unless a correct password is input, various processes including data exchange with the server cannot be executed at the measurement terminal. Therefore, the first biometric data and the second biometric data measured in the past by a third party are not browsed.

  Next, the measurement terminal according to the present invention stores in advance first identification information that each of a plurality of users owns and can uniquely identify, and stores first biological data relating to the state of the user's biological body. A measurement unit that is used in a health management system including a storable first device and a server, and that measures a state of the living body of the user and generates second biological data, and the first device An input unit for reading out the first identification information and the first biometric data, an operation unit for the user to input a password, a display unit for displaying an image, and a control unit, and the control unit includes: A process of transmitting the first identification information read from the first device to the server and confirming that the first device has been registered, and a response indicating that the first device has been registered from the server. After receiving, read from the first device A process of transmitting the first biometric data to the server, a process of displaying a screen prompting the user to input a password on the display unit after transmitting the first biometric data to the server, When the user inputs a correct password, various processes including data exchange with the server are executed in response to the user's request when the user inputs a correct password. It is characterized by doing.

  According to this measurement terminal, if the owner of the first device requests a third party to take the first device to the measurement terminal, the first biological data can be stored in the server. On the other hand, unless a correct password is input, various processes including data exchange with the server cannot be executed at the measurement terminal. Therefore, the first biometric data and the second biometric data measured in the past by a third party are not browsed.

  In the measurement terminal described above, in the various processes, the measurement device is used to generate the second biological data, and a request including the second biological data and the first identification information is transmitted to the server. It is preferable that a process of storing the second biological data in the server is included. Since various processes are executed when a correct password is input, a third party who does not know the password pretends to be the owner of the first device, generates second biometric data, and stores it in the server. Can be prevented.

    In the measurement terminal described above, in the various processes, the first identification information is transmitted to the server, and the user's first biological data and second biological data stored in the server It is preferable to include a process of reading at least one of them and displaying the past biological state on the display unit. Since various processes are executed when a correct password is input, a third party who does not know the password can send the first biometric data to the server at the request of the owner of the first device. Can not browse the ecological status of the owner.

  In the measurement terminal described above, after receiving a response from the server that the first device is not registered, the control unit newly registers the first device in the server and makes the service available. Execute a new registration process, and in the new registration process, cause the user to input a new password and second identification information that is not registered in the server (for example, a login ID). Preferably, the two identification information and the first identification information are transmitted to the server. In this case, since the first device of the user can be newly registered, various processes can be executed on the measurement terminal after registration.

  In the measurement terminal described above, the control unit performs an additional registration process for additionally registering the first device to the server after receiving a response from the server that the first device is not registered. In the additional registration processing, the user is caused to input the password registered in the server and the second identification information registered in the server, and the password, the second identification information, and the first identification information are input to the server. It is preferable to transmit to. In this case, one user can register a plurality of first devices. Thereby, for example, it is possible to register devices having different measurement targets such as a pedometer and a urine sugar meter, and to manage various biological data comprehensively by the server.

Next, a server according to the present invention stores in advance first identification information that each of a plurality of users owns and can uniquely identify, and stores first biological data related to the state of the user's biological body. The first device capable of being used by the plurality of users and used in a health management system including a measurement terminal that measures a state of the living body of the user and generates second biological data. A storage unit that stores the second identification information for uniquely identifying the plurality of users, the first identification information, the password, the first biological data, and the second biological data in association with each other. For example, a RAM 250 that stores TBL1 and TBL3), a communication unit that communicates with the measurement terminal, and a control unit, the control unit including the first identification information from the measurement terminal, the first identification Information has been registered If the confirmation request is received, the storage unit is accessed to determine whether or not the first identification information is stored, and the determination result is returned to the measurement terminal as a confirmation response. When the storage request including the first identification information and the first biometric data is received, the received first biometric data is stored in the storage unit in association with the first identification information. In the measurement terminal, When a storage request including the first identification information and the second biometric data is received from the measurement terminal after a password stored in association with the first identification information is input to the storage unit, The second biological data is stored in the storage unit in association with the first identification information.
According to this invention, if the owner of the first device requests a third party to bring the first device to the measurement terminal, the first biological data can be stored in the server. On the other hand, it is possible to prevent a third party who does not know the password from impersonating the owner of the first device and generating the second biometric data and storing it in the server.

Next, a server according to the present invention stores in advance first identification information that each of a plurality of users owns and can uniquely identify, and stores first biological data related to the state of the user's biological body. The first device capable of being used by a plurality of users and used in a health management system including a measurement terminal that measures a state of the living body of the user and generates second biological data. A storage unit for storing the second identification information for uniquely identifying the plurality of users, the first identification information, the password, the first biological data, and the second biological data in association with each other; A communication unit that communicates with the measurement terminal, and a control unit, wherein the control unit includes the first identification information from the measurement terminal and checks whether the first identification information has been registered. When the request is received, the storage unit is accessed. It is determined whether or not the first identification information is stored, the determination result is returned to the measurement terminal as a confirmation response, and the storage request including the first identification information and the first biological data is transmitted from the measurement terminal. Is received, the received first biological data is stored in the storage unit in association with the first identification information, and stored in the measurement terminal in association with the first identification information in the measurement terminal. When a browsing request including the first identification information is received from the measurement terminal after a password is input, the first biological data stored in association with the received first identification information from the storage unit, and the At least one of the second biometric data is read out and returned as a browsing response to the measurement terminal.
According to this invention, if the owner of the first device requests a third party to bring the first device to the measurement terminal, the first biological data can be stored in the server. On the other hand, unless a correct password is input, various processes including data exchange with the server cannot be executed at the measurement terminal. Therefore, the first biometric data and the second biometric data measured in the past by a third party are not browsed.

Embodiments according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the ratio of dimensions of each part is appropriately changed from the actual one.
<1. Health Management System Configuration>
<1-1. Overall configuration>
FIG. 1 shows an overall configuration of a health management system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the health management system 1 includes a plurality of measurement terminals 10, 10,..., A server 20, a plurality of personal communication terminals 30, 30, and a plurality of management communication terminals 40, 40,. A communication network NET for communicating between them is provided.

  The measurement terminal 10 is installed in a place such as a company cafeteria, a fitness club, a health care center, or a shopping mall, and is used by many users. The measurement terminal 10 measures various indices relating to the state of the living body such as blood pressure, weight, or body composition, displays the measurement result, and transmits it to the server 20 via the communication network NET. The server 20 stores the measurement results, and returns the past measurement results and data obtained by processing the measurement results to the measurement terminal 10 in response to a request from the measurement terminal 10.

  Since the measurement terminal 10 is installed at a predetermined location, information such as the number of steps the user has walked and the urine sugar value are not compatible with the measurement at the measurement terminal 10. However, these pieces of information are useful for user health care. On the other hand, the portable device 60 such as a pedometer or a urine sugar meter has limited indices indicating the state of a living body to be measured, and in order to comprehensively manage the health of the user in relation to other indices. It is unsuitable. In addition, since the portable device 60 is downsized, the capacity of the memory to be mounted is limited, and past measurement results cannot be stored over a long period of time. Therefore, in the health management system 1, the measurement result stored in the portable device 60 can be transmitted to the server 20 via the measurement terminal 10 and stored. As a result, the daily health status of the user can be grasped by the health management system 1 and combined with other indices, the user's health can be comprehensively managed.

  The portable device 60 includes not only a device that directly measures the state of a living body such as a pedometer, but also a device called a relay key. The relay key is a data collection device with a communication function. For example, weight scales and body composition meters installed at home are not miniaturized so that users can easily carry them around. The relay key performs communication with devices such as a weight scale and a body composition meter, and reads and stores an index indicating the state of the living body such as the weight and body composition stored therein. In the health management system 1, information stored in the relay key can be stored in the server 20 via the measurement terminal 10. In the following embodiment, a pedometer 60A and a relay key 60B will be described as an example of the portable device 60.

  By the way, various indexes of each user stored in the server 20 need to be managed separately for each user. For this reason, authentication for identifying each user is required. Each portable device 60 stores a serial ID that can uniquely identify the device. In user authentication, as will be described later, a serial ID is used to simplify the authentication. It is also possible to perform authentication using the authentication device 50. The authentication device 50 also stores a serial ID. The authentication device 50 corresponds to, for example, an IC card, a clock, or a mobile phone in which a non-contact type IC chip is incorporated. In the following embodiment, an IC card 50A will be described as an example.

  Next, a plurality of personal communication terminals 30, 30... Are owned by each user. Using this personal communication terminal 30, the user accesses the server 20 and accesses his / her own data stored therein, or the data stored in the pedometer 60A, the relay key 60B, etc. 20 can be transmitted. The personal communication terminal 30 corresponds to, for example, a personal computer or a mobile phone having a communication function.

  Next, the plurality of management communication terminals 40, 40. The administrator can use the management communication terminal 40 to access user data within a predetermined authority range. For example, the manager of the fitness club A can access data of users belonging to the fitness club A.

<1-2. Configuration of measuring terminal>
FIG. 2 shows an external configuration of the measurement terminal 10. As shown in this figure, the measurement terminal 10 includes a chair 13, a weight measuring device 160, and a main body 12 on a pedestal 11. An L-shaped support member 14 is fixed to the main body 12, and a blood pressure measurement device 180 is attached on the support member 14. When measuring the blood pressure, the user sits on the chair 13 and passes the left arm through the hole 181 of the blood pressure measurement device 180 to perform the measurement.

  A display touch panel 120 is provided on the upper surface of the main body 12. On the right side of the display touch panel 120, an input unit 130 is provided. The input unit 130 functions as an interface for exchanging data with the pedometer 60A, the relay key 60B, and the IC card 50A. Furthermore, grips 15 and 16 used for measuring the body composition are provided on the side surface of the main body 12.

  When measuring the weight, the user stands on the gravity measuring device 160. When measuring the body composition, the user holds the grips 15 and 16 with the right and left palms in a standing posture.

  FIG. 3 shows an electrical configuration of the measurement terminal 10. The measurement terminal 10 includes a display touch panel 120, an input unit 130, a communication unit 140, a storage device 150, and a CPU 110 that controls these units. The display touch panel 120 is a device in which a touch input function is added to a display device such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). The display touch panel 120 displays the operation method of the measurement terminal 10, various data such as measurement data (biological information) or generated health data and date. In addition, the display touch panel 120 displays menu keys, up keys, down keys, and the like, and the user can input instructions, personal data such as height, age, and sex by touching these keys. In addition, various setting inputs such as function selection can be performed.

  The input unit 130 is an interface with various devices as described above, and may have a wireless communication function such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or IrDA (Infrared Data Association; registered trademark). The communication unit 140 communicates with the server 20 via the communication network NET. The storage device 150 stores data input through the input unit 130 and measured data, and stores in advance a control program for controlling the entire measurement terminal 10.

The measurement terminal 10 further includes a bioelectrical impedance measurement unit 170 (current supply unit 170A and voltage detection unit 170B), a weight measurement device 160, and a blood pressure measurement device 180 as biological information measurement means.
Specifically, the current electrode 1 a and the voltage electrode 1 b are formed on the grip 15, and the current electrode 2 a and the voltage electrode 2 b are formed on the grip 16. When the user grips the grips 15 and 16 with the left and right hands, the current supply unit 170A applies a weak high-frequency constant current to the current electrodes 1a and 2a, and the voltage detection unit 170B The potential difference is measured via 2b.
The weight measuring device 160 measures the weight of the user, which is the weight when the user gets on. The bioelectrical impedance measuring means 170 and the weight measuring device 160 are connected to the CPU 110. The CPU 110 obtains the measurement result supplied from the weight measurement device 160 when the weight measurement is designated, and from the voltage detection unit 170B and the weight measurement device 160 when the body composition measurement is designated. Based on the supplied measurement results and personal data (gender, height, age, etc.), body composition data is calculated according to a calculation program stored in the storage device 150. Furthermore, CPU110 acquires the measurement result supplied from the blood pressure measurement apparatus 180, when the blood pressure measurement is designated.
Note that the measurement terminal 10 according to the present embodiment is not limited to a device that measures bioelectrical impedance by bringing a user's palm into contact with an electrode as shown in FIG. ) May be an apparatus that contacts the electrode. Moreover, you may provide the well-known biological information measuring apparatus which measures the state of a biological body using various other measurement means, and outputs biological information.

When functioning the measurement terminal 10 as a body fat scale, the CPU 110 estimates the body fat percentage% Fat according to the following equation (1).
% Fat = f1 · Z · W / H ² −f2 (1)
However, f1 and f2 are constants and have different values depending on gender. Z is bioelectrical impedance, H is height, and W is weight. Among these, “bioelectric impedance” and “weight” are measured by the measurement terminal 10. On the other hand, “height” is a parameter for generating the body fat percentage% Fat, and is supplied from the server 20 as personal data of the user.
Here, in the first term of the formula (1), “W / H ² ” is a physique index BMI, which indicates the degree of obesity. The constants f1 and f2 in the equation (1) are derived by performing multiple regression analysis based on the body fat percentage obtained by the DXA (Dual energy X-ray Absorptiometry) method. The DXA method uses two types of radiation having different wavelengths, and obtains the composition of the human body from the amount of transmission. The DXA method can measure the body fat percentage with high accuracy, but there is a problem that the apparatus is large in size and exposed to radiation although the amount is extremely small. On the other hand, according to the bioimpedance method employed in the present embodiment, the body fat percentage% Fat can be estimated easily and safely.

When the measurement terminal 10 is made to function as a body composition meter and the visceral fat cross-sectional area is estimated, the CPU 110 estimates the visceral fat cross-sectional area VFA according to the following equation (2).
VFA = v1 · Z · W / H ² −v2 + v3 · E (2)
However, v1, v2, and v3 are constants and have different values depending on gender. E is age. “Height” and “age” are parameters for generating the visceral fat cross-sectional area VFA, and are supplied from the server 20 as personal data of the user.
Here, in the third term of the formula (2), “v3 · E” is because, generally, when the elderly person becomes older, there is a tendency of lack of exercise and visceral fat tends to increase. The constants v1 to v3 in Expression (2) are derived by performing multiple regression analysis based on the visceral fat cross-sectional area VFA obtained by the CT (Computed Tomography) method. In the CT method, a narrow X-ray beam is exposed to a cross section of a living body from multiple directions, the transmitted X-ray is detected, and the spatial distribution of the degree of X-ray absorption within the cross section is calculated by a computer. It is to be imaged. CT method. Similar to the DXA method, the visceral fat cross-sectional area can be measured with high accuracy, but there is a problem that the apparatus becomes large and is exposed to radiation although it is very small. On the other hand, according to the bioimpedance method employed in the present embodiment, the visceral fat cross-sectional area VFA can be estimated easily and safely.

<1-3. Server configuration>
FIG. 4 shows an electrical configuration of the server 20. The server 20 includes a CPU 210 that functions as a control center, a display unit 220 such as a display, an operation input unit 230 that includes a keyboard and a mouse, a communication unit 240 that performs communication via a communication network NET, and work areas for various processes. A RAM 250 that functions as a ROM, a ROM 260 that stores a boot program, and a hard disk 270 that stores a control program.

The server 20 functions as a database and stores various tables in the hard disk 270 in association with each other. Then, various tables are developed in the RAM 250, and a response is generated with respect to requests from the measurement terminal 10, the personal communication terminal 30, and the management communication terminal 40 with reference to the tables.
Various tables stored in the server 20 include a first table TBL1, a second table TBL2, and a third table TBL3 shown in FIG. Further, a fourth table not shown in FIG. 5 is included.
The first table TBL1 stores various IDs and passwords in association with each other, and is mainly used for authentication. More specifically, a login ID, password, serial ID, and site ID are stored in association with each other.

  The login ID is an ID for uniquely identifying the user. When the user uses the health management system 1, the login ID is input from the measurement terminal 10 or the like at the start of using the service. The password is input every time the user uses the measurement terminal 10 and is used for authentication. The serial ID is set so that the portable device 60 and the authentication device 50 can be uniquely identified, and the device registered by the user at the time of starting the service is specified. However, the serial ID is not noticed by the user and is automatically transmitted from the portable device 60 or the authentication device 50 to the server 20 via the measurement terminal 10. The serial ID can be assigned to the login ID in duplicate. In the first table TBL1 shown in FIG. 5, the serial IDs “X4567” and “Y9876” are assigned to the login ID “AAAA”. In this case, the user with the login ID “AAAA” owns the IC card 50A in which the serial ID “X4567” is recorded and the pedometer 60A in which the serial ID “Y9876” is recorded. In this case, since the user can obtain authentication by using either the IC card 50A or the pedometer 60A, the user can use the measuring terminal 10 even if he or she forgets to hold one of them.

  The site ID is an ID for identifying a group of users, and is assigned to each group. For example, the site ID assigned to the user belonging to the fitness club A is “JW33”, and the site ID assigned to the user belonging to the company B is “GH85”. The user with the login ID “ABCD” shown in FIG. 5 belongs only to the fitness club A, but the user with the login ID “QWER” belongs to the fitness club A and the company B. Thus, the site ID can be registered in duplicate. Thereby, the user who registered twice can use the measurement terminal 10 in a some group. For example, the user with the login ID “QWER” can use both the measurement terminal 10 installed in the fitness club A and the measurement terminal 10 installed in the company B. Note that one group may have a plurality of measurement terminals 10. For example, in company B, it is assumed that measurement terminals 10 are arranged at the head office and the factory. In this case, if each measurement terminal 10 can be managed separately, it is useful for health management. For example, it is possible to analyze health management such that the head office department with a lot of office work tends to have obesity compared to the factory department. For this reason, a branch number may be assigned to each measurement terminal 10 belonging to the same group to manage the site ID. Specifically, when the site ID of the company B is “GH85”, the site ID “GH85-1” is assigned to the measurement terminal 10 installed in the head office, and the site ID is assigned to the measurement terminal 10 installed in the factory. For example, “GH85-2”.

  In the second table TBL2, a login ID and personal data are stored in association with each other. Personal data consists of gender, date of birth, height, and body type. When the user uses the health management system 1, these pieces of information are input from the measurement terminal 10 or the like at the start of service use.

  In the third table TBL3, a login ID and biometric data are stored in association with each other. The biometric data includes body weight data, blood pressure data, body composition data, urine sugar data, step count data, and the like, and a part or all of these are stored in association with the login ID.

  In the fourth table, a login ID and recording data are stored in association with each other. Recorded data shows the daily changes of users in terms of goal practice, exercise practice, or goal achievement.

<2. Health Management System Operation>
Next, the operation of the health management system will be described.
<2-1. Overall operation of measurement terminal>
6 and 7 show flowcharts of the overall operation of the measurement terminal. The CPU 110 of the measurement terminal 10 displays a start screen on the display touch panel 120 (step S1). The start screen shows what the user should do to start the measurement.

  Next, the CPU 110 determines whether or not the user has touched the screen (step S2). When the user touches the screen, the process proceeds to step S3. In step S <b> 3, CPU 110 causes display touch panel 120 to display a screen for selecting a device to be used for authentication. For example, it is a device selection screen shown in FIG. When the user touches any one of the screen areas X1, X2, and X3, the CPU 110 detects this. CPU110 displays the screen which shows a user's operation | movement required in order to communicate between the measurement terminal 10 and an apparatus according to the selected apparatus (step S4). For example, when the user touches the screen area X3, a screen that prompts the user to bring the IC card 50A closer to the input unit 130 (see FIG. 2) is displayed.

  Next, the CPU 110 reads the serial ID from the user's IC card 50A, pedometer 60A, or relay key 60B. Then, the CPU 110 includes the serial ID in a confirmation request for inquiring whether or not the serial ID has been registered, and transmits it to the server 20 (step S5).

When the server 20 receives the serial ID, the server 20 returns a confirmation response indicating whether the serial ID is stored in the first table TBL1 to the communication terminal 10. CPU110 determines whether the selected apparatus has been registered based on a confirmation response (step S6).
If the determination condition is affirmed, the CPU 110 advances the process to step S11 to be described later. If the determination condition is negative, the CPU 110 advances to step S7, and displays a screen for selecting new registration or additional registration. (Step S7). FIG. 9 shows an example of a screen for selecting new registration or additional registration.

  Next, the CPU 110 determines whether or not new registration has been selected (step S8). When the user touches the screen area X11 on the screen shown in FIG. 9, the CPU 110 determines that additional registration has been selected, advances the processing to step S10, and executes additional registration processing. On the other hand, when the user touches screen area X12, CPU 110 determines that new registration has been selected, advances the process to step S9, and executes new registration processing. The additional registration process and the new registration process will be described later.

  Next, when the selected device has been registered, the CPU 110 reads out the biometric data from the device selected in step S <b> 11 and transmits it to the server 20. For example, if the selected device is a pedometer 60A, the pedometer data is transmitted to the server 20, and if the selected device is a relay key 60B that can communicate with the scale, the weight data is transmitted to the server 20.

  When the transmission process is completed, the CPU 110 displays a screen prompting the user to input a password on the display touch panel 120 (step S12), and determines whether or not the input password is correct (step S13). The password corresponding to the serial ID may be transmitted by the server 20 included in the confirmation response in step S6. Alternatively, in step S13, the CPU 110 sends a password confirmation request including the pair of serial ID and password to the server. 20, the CPU 210 of the server 20 may refer to the first table TBL1 to determine whether the password is true or false, and return the determination result to the measurement terminal 10 as a password confirmation response.

If the input password is incorrect, the CPU 110 displays a password re-input screen on the display touch panel (step S14), and executes password determination again. On the other hand, when the input password is correct, the CPU 110 displays an operation selection screen on the display touch panel 120 (step S15). FIG. 10 shows an example of the operation selection screen. When the user touches screen area X21 on the screen shown in FIG. 10, CPU 110 determines that measurement is selected, advances the process to step S17, and executes the measurement process. When the user touches screen area X22, CPU 110 determines that browsing of past data has been selected, advances the process to step S18, and executes data browsing processing. Further, when the user touches screen area X23, CPU 110 determines that recording has been selected, advances the process to step S19, and executes a recording input process. Details of these processes will be described later.
By the way, the pedometer 60A and the relay key 60B are miniaturized so that the user can carry them, and there is a certain limit to biometric data that can be stored therein. For example, in the case of the pedometer 60A, the storage capacity is about one week. For this reason, it is preferable that the user frequently visits the measurement terminal 10 and uploads biometric data to the server 20. However, when the user is busy, it is not possible to go to the measurement terminal 10, and it may happen that the measured biological data overflows. According to the present embodiment, if the serial ID stored in the portable device 60 is already registered in the server 20, even if the password is unknown, the biometric data stored therein is transmitted to the server 20 and stored. can do. Therefore, if the user who owns the portable device 60 requests a third party to bring the portable device 60 to the measurement terminal 10, biometric data can be stored in the server 20. On the other hand, if a correct password is not input, various processes including data exchange with the server 20 cannot be executed in the measurement terminal 10. Therefore, biometric data measured in the past by a third party is not browsed.

<2-2. New registration process>
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the contents of the new registration process. First, the CPU 110 displays a new registration input screen on the display touch panel 120 (step S20). FIG. 12 shows an example of a new registration input screen. When the user touches the screen area 31, the CPU 110 displays a login ID input screen on the display touch panel 120 and prompts the user to input (step S23). When the user completes the input of the login ID, the CPU 110 transmits a login ID registration request including the input login ID to the server 20. The CPU 210 of the server 20 searches the first table TBL1, determines whether or not the same login ID is registered, and returns the determination result to the measurement terminal 10 as a login ID registration response. CPU 110 determines whether or not there is a duplicate login ID based on the login ID registration response (step S24).

If it has already been registered, the determination condition is denied, and the CPU 110 displays a login ID re-input screen on the display touch panel to prompt the user to input again (step S25). And CPU110 repeats a process until the determination conditions of step S24 are affirmed, and when a determination condition is affirmed, it will advance a process to step S26.
Next, when the user touches the screen area X32 on the input screen shown in FIG. 12, the CPU 110 displays a password input screen on the display touch panel 120 and prompts the user to input (step S22). When the user completes the input of the password, the CPU 110 advances the process to step S26.
Next, in the input screen shown in FIG. 12, when the user touches the screen area X33, the CPU 110 displays an input screen for inputting personal setting data on the display touch panel 120 to prompt the user to input (step). S21). When the user completes the input of personal data, CPU 110 advances the process to step S26.

  In step S26, the CPU 110 determines whether or not all items have been input. If there are items that have not been input, the process returns to step S20. On the other hand, if all items have been input, the CPU 110 displays a confirmation screen on the display touch panel 120 and prompts the user to confirm the input items (step S27). FIG. 13 shows an example of the confirmation screen. When the user touches the screen area X41, the CPU 110 displays an input item correction screen. On the other hand, when the user touches the screen area X42, the CPU 110 advances the process to step S28, and transmits a registration request including a login ID, a password, and a set of personal data to the server 20. The server 20 that has received the registration request stores the login ID and password in the first table TBL1, and stores the login ID and personal data in association with each other in the second table TBL2. Thereby, the new registration process is completed.

<2-3. Additional registration process>
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the contents of the additional registration process. First, the CPU 110 displays an additional registration input screen on the display touch panel 120 (step S30). FIG. 15 shows an example of an additional registration input screen. When the user touches the screen area X51, the process proceeds to a login ID input process, and when the user touches the screen area X52, the process proceeds to a password input process. The login ID and password input process is the same as steps S22 to S25 described above, and a description thereof will be omitted here.
Note that when the user touches the screen area X53 or the screen area X54 on the input screen, authentication by the login ID and password cannot be executed. Therefore, if the server 20 stores the serial ID in association with which login ID. Since it is unknown whether it is good, additional registration of the device is not possible. In view of this, when a screen for allowing the user to select whether or not to perform new registration instead of additional registration is displayed on the display touch panel 120 and the user selects new registration, the new described with reference to FIG. Registration processing may be executed. Since the measurement can be continuously performed by this new registration, it is possible to reduce the trouble of the user going to the measurement terminal 10.

  Next, the CPU 110 determines whether or not the input of the login ID and password is completed (step S31). When the input is completed, the CPU 110 displays a personal data confirmation screen on the display touch panel 120, and the user Prompts for confirmation (step S32). FIG. 16 shows an example of the confirmation screen. When the user touches the image area X61 on the confirmation screen, the CPU 110 determines that the confirmation is completed, and the CPU 110 transmits the registered content to the server 20 (step S33). More specifically, the CPU 110 transmits an additional registration request including a set of at least one of a login ID and a password, a serial ID, and personal data to the server 20. The server 20 that has received the additional registration request stores at least one of the login ID and the password and the serial ID in association with each other in the first table TBL1. Further, the login ID and personal data are stored in association with each other in the second table TBL2.

  If there is no change in the personal data, the CPU 110 may transmit the additional registration request without including the personal data. Further, it is preferable that the personal data is transmitted from the server 20 to the measurement terminal 10 when the authentication response of the login ID and the password is returned from the server 20 to the measurement terminal 10 and included in the authentication response. In this case, since it is not necessary to transmit a personal data transmission request from the communication terminal 10 to the server 20 independently of the acceptance request, the processing load on the measurement terminal 10 and the server 20 can be reduced and communication resources can be saved. it can.

<2-4. Measurement processing>
FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the contents of the measurement process. First, the CPU 110 displays a personal setting confirmation screen on the display touch panel 120 (step S40). This screen is the same as the screen shown in FIG.
Next, the CPU 110 determines whether or not the personal setting has been confirmed (step S41). If the personal setting has been confirmed, the process proceeds to step S42. Specifically, when the user touches screen area X61 on the confirmation screen shown in FIG. In the measurement process, personal settings are confirmed because height, age, and sex are parameters necessary for estimating body composition. In particular, when the user is a junior and senior high school student, the height changes, so it is important to check the personal settings in order to perform an accurate estimation.

  In step S42 to step S44, the state of the user's living body is measured in the order of blood pressure measurement, body weight measurement, and body composition measurement. Thereafter, the CPU 110 displays the measurement result on the display touch panel (step S45), and then transmits the biometric data as the measurement result, and a biometric data registration request including the login ID, password, and serial ID to the server 20. (Step S46). When the server 20 receives the biometric data registration request, the server 20 stores the login ID and the biometric data in association with each other in the third table TBL3. Thereby, the measurement process is completed.

<2-5. Data browsing process>
FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the contents of the data browsing process. First, the CPU 110 displays a data selection screen on the display touch panel 120 (step S50). FIG. 19 shows an example of the data selection screen. When the user touches the screen area X71, the weight change ranking is selected (step S51). In this case, the CPU 110 transmits a weight change ranking request including a serial ID and a password to the server 20 and inquires about the weight change ranking of the user (step S52).

  Here, the weight change ranking is the order of weight change in a certain population. For example, when the users belonging to the fitness club A are defined as a population, the ranking in the population is a ranking on the basis that the weight loss is large in one month. Therefore, the person with the greatest weight loss is ranked first. The user is encouraged to lose weight by recognizing the ranking.

  The server 20 that has received the weight change ranking request refers to the third table TBL3 to calculate the weight change of the user, and further calculates the weight change of each user belonging to the population. Ask for a ranking. Then, the server 20 returns the ranking to the measurement terminal 10 as a weight change ranking response. CPU110 displays a ranking on the display touch panel 120 based on a weight change ranking response (step S53). The process of calculating the ranking executed by the server 20 may be executed whenever there is an inquiry from the measurement terminal 10, but the calculation is performed in a time zone when there are few requests from the measurement terminal 10, and the calculation result is displayed in the third table. You may memorize | store in TBL3 and the table for ranking. In this case, since no time is required for the calculation, the ranking can be displayed quickly.

Next, when the user touches the screen area X72 on the data selection screen, display of a personal graph is selected (step S54). In this case, the CPU 110 causes the display touch panel 120 to display a selection screen that prompts the user to select items and periods such as weight, body fat percentage, number of steps, and blood pressure to be graphed, and uses the selection of items and periods. (Step S55).

  FIG. 20 shows an example of the selection screen. Screen areas X81 to X84 are areas for selecting items, and screen areas X85 to X89 are areas for selecting periods. When the user completes the selection by touching any one of the screen areas X81 to X84 and any one of the screen areas X85 to X89, the CPU 110 transmits a graph data request specifying a period and an item to the server 20 (step S56). ). The graph data request includes at least one of a serial ID or a login ID.

  When the server 20 receives the graph data request, the CPU 210 identifies the login ID of the user, refers to the third table TBL3, and extracts biometric data corresponding to the item. For example, if the item is the number of steps, step count data is acquired. Next, processing according to the period is performed to generate step count data for display, and this is transmitted to the measurement terminal 10 as a graph data response.

The step count data indicates the number of steps per hour. On the other hand, the period can be selected from 1 year, 6 months, 3 months, 30 days, and 7 days. If the selected period is one year, the number of steps per hour is aggregated into the number of steps every seven days. If the selected period is six months, the number of steps per hour is counted as the number of steps per seven days. When the selected period is 3 months, the number of steps per hour is consolidated into the number of steps every two days, and when the selected period is 30 days, the number of steps per hour is 1 Aggregating the number of steps per day, and when the selected period is 7 days, the number of steps per hour is aggregated into the number of steps per day to generate display step count data. Such processing for generating step count data for display may be generated every time there is a request for graph data in the server 20, but the processing load is heavy. Therefore, it may be calculated in a time zone where there is little request from the measurement terminal 10, for example, at midnight, and the calculation result may be stored in the third table TBL3. When the selected items are body weight, body fat percentage, and blood pressure, an average value of a period as a unit of display is calculated and used as display biometric data.
Next, when receiving a graph data response from the server 20, the CPU 110 displays a personal graph on the display touch panel 120 (step S57).

  Further, in the data selection at step S50, when the user touches the screen area X73 of the data selection screen shown in FIG. 19, the step ranking is selected (step S58). In this case, the CPU 110 transmits a step ranking request including the serial ID and password to the server 20 to inquire about the user's step ranking (step S59). Here, the step count ranking is the rank of the number of steps in a certain period.

  The server 20 that has received the step ranking request calculates the number of steps in a certain period from the number of steps data of the user with reference to the third table TBL3, and further calculates the number of steps in each period of each user belonging to the population. The ranking of the user is obtained. Then, the server 20 returns the ranking as a step count ranking response to the measurement terminal 10. CPU110 displays a ranking on the display touch panel 120 based on a step count ranking response (step S60). The process of calculating the ranking executed by the server 20 may be executed every time there is an inquiry from the measurement terminal 10, but it is calculated in a time zone when there are few requests from the measurement terminal 10, and the calculation result is shown in the third table. You may memorize | store in TBL3 and the table for ranking.

<2-6. Record input processing>
FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the contents of the recording input process. First, the CPU 110 displays a target practice input screen on the display touch panel 120 (step S70). FIG. 22 shows an example of the target practice input screen. For example, the user sets goals for improving health such as jogging for 30 minutes and gymnastics for 10 minutes, and records the degree of practice in the date column. “◯” means that the process has been completed, “Δ” means that the process has been completed, and “x” means that the process has not been executed. The user touches each screen area of the target practice input screen and inputs the goal and practice (step S71). By keeping a record, the user's consciousness is directed toward health.
Next, the CPU 110 displays an exercise practice input screen and prompts the user to record exercise practice (step S72). FIG. 23 shows an example of an exercise practice input screen. When the user touches the column below the date, various exercises such as tennis, swimming and walking are displayed in a menu format. The user can record by selecting the appropriate exercise from the menu.
Next, the CPU 110 displays an input screen for achieving the goal and prompts the user to record the goal achievement (step S73). FIG. 24 shows an example of an input screen for achieving the goal. In this example, the abdominal circumference is targeted. When the user touches the column below the date, the abdominal circumference can be input. Also, if the goal is to reduce the abdominal circumference by 4 cm in 4 weeks, the target achievement rate can be input as if the goal has been reduced by 1 cm when 1 week has passed.
When these inputs are completed, the CPU 110 generates a recording data registration request including a password, a serial ID, and recording data, and transmits this request to the server 20. When the server 20 receives the recording data registration request, the CPU 210 refers to the first table TBL1, acquires the login ID from the serial ID, and stores the login ID and the recording data in association with each other in the fourth table. Further, the CPU 110 transmits a recording data acquisition request including a serial ID to the server 20 prior to the process of step S70. When the server 20 receives the recording data acquisition request, the CPU 210 refers to the first table TBL1, acquires the login ID from the serial ID, and acquires the recording data from the fourth table using the login ID. Then, the CPU 210 transmits a recording data acquisition response including the acquired recording data to the measurement terminal 210. The measurement terminal 10 can display a target practice input screen, an exercise practice input screen, and a goal achievement input screen based on the acquired recorded data.

<3. Modification>
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and for example, the following modifications are possible.
(1) You may add the function to call a user in the health management system 1 mentioned above. For example, an email address or telephone number of a user's mobile phone is registered in the server 20, and an e-mail is sent to the mobile phone when the time set by the user is reached, or an announcement that prompts measurement by automatic voice May be sent. Here, the registration of the mail address and the telephone number may be performed from the personal communication terminal 30 or may be performed at the measurement terminal 10. In this case, the server 20 includes a fifth table. In the fifth table, a login ID, a mail address or telephone number, and the next notification time are stored in association with each other. The CPU 110 may scan the fifth table at a predetermined cycle and execute a call when the notification time comes. Note that a mobile phone equipped with a pedometer function can be used as the mobile device 60, which is convenient for the user.

(2) In the health management system 1 described above, a function of requesting a third party to call a user who does not go to the measurement terminal 1 may be added. In this case, the server 20 records the name as personal data. In addition, the CPU 210 grasps the last date measured by each user by visiting the measurement terminal 10 by periodically searching the third table TBL3, and logs in the user whose measurement interval is equal to or greater than the predetermined number of days. Extract the ID. In addition, the CPU 210 refers to the second table TBL2 and identifies a name corresponding to the extracted login ID. In addition, the CPU 210 refers to the first table TBL1 and obtains a site ID corresponding to the extracted login ID. Next, the CPU 210 creates a list of names classified for each site ID. When the CPU 210 returns an authentication response indicating that the authentication request received from the communication terminal 10 is true, it is included in the same site ID as the site ID of the user of the authentication request.

(3) In the health management system 1 described above, the user needs to input his / her height as personal data. However, the user's height may be automatically measured. FIG. 25 shows an overview configuration of a measurement terminal 10A according to the modification. This measurement terminal 10A is configured in the same manner as the measurement terminal 10 described above, except that a distance sensor 190 is provided on the ceiling directly above the weight measurement device 160. The distance sensor 190 is composed of an ultrasonic sensor, for example, and outputs a distance from the ceiling to an object directly below. Here, the distance measured by the ultrasonic sensor is L1, the distance from the ceiling to the weight measuring device 160 is L2, and the height of the user is h. When measuring bioimpedance as described above, the user stands on the weight measuring device 160 and grips the grips 15 and 16 with the right and left palms. What is necessary is just to measure a user's height at this timing. Specifically, the CPU 110 calculates h = L2-L1 to calculate the height of the user. According to this modification, since the height is automatically measured simultaneously with the measurement of the bioelectrical impedance, the user does not need to input the height to the measurement terminal 10. The distance L2 may be input by the administrator using the display touch panel 120 when the measurement terminal 10A is installed, or the distance sensor 190 is used when the user is not using the measurement terminal 10A. The distance from the ceiling to the weight measuring device 160 may be measured and stored as the distance L2 in the measurement terminal 10A.

(4) In the health management system 1 described above, blood pressure measurement and body weight measurement are performed separately, but these measurements may be performed simultaneously. FIG. 26 shows an external configuration of a measurement terminal 10B according to the modification. In the measurement terminal 10B, a weight measuring device 160 is provided on the pedestal 11, and a base 11A is further provided thereon. Further, the support member 14 of the blood pressure measurement device 180 is fixed to the base 11A. A chair 13 is attached on the base 11A. The weight measured by the weight measuring device 160 when the user is not sitting on the chair 13 is W1, the weight measured by the weight measuring device 160 when the user is sitting on the chair 13 is W2, and the weight of the user is Assuming W3, the weight of the user is given by W3 = W2−W1. When measuring the blood pressure, the user sits on the chair 13 and inserts his left arm into the blood pressure measurement device 180. Even in this state, the weight W2 can be measured. This is because the chair 13 and the blood pressure measurement device 180 are provided on the base 11A, and the support member 14 that is fixed to the base 11A and supports the blood pressure measurement device 180 is provided. According to this modification, blood pressure and body weight can be measured simultaneously, so that the measurement time can be shortened.
