Abstract

Certain implementations have a main body case having a contact face of a biological information measurement device on its surface, and a first non-contact charging portion composed of a charging coil disposed opposite the contact face with the biological information measurement device inside the main body case. In addition, some may have a controller that is connected to the first non-contact charging portion, and a display section that is connected to the controller. Upon completion of the charging of the biological information measurement device via the first non-contact charging portion, the controller connected to the display section may display on the display section that the biological information measurement device will be incapable of measurement for a specific length of time.

Claims

1. A biological information measurement device comprising:

a main body case including a sensor mounting portion to which a sensor for measuring a biological information is mounted;

a measurement section connected to the sensor mounting portion inside the main body case;

a controller connected to the measurement section;

a rechargeable battery connected to the controller;

a display section connected to the controller;

a non-contact charging portion connected to the controller, the non-contact charging portion configured to charge the battery by a non-contact charging;

the controller displays a measurement-impossible time on the display section when the non-contact charging portion starts to charge the battery and after the non-contact charging portion completes to charge the battery.

2. The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, further comprising;

a clock connected to the controller;

a memory section configured to store the measurement-impossible time;

wherein the controller determines whether or not the measurement-impossible time has elapsed by using the clock.

3. The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, wherein:

the controller calculates and displays a remaining measurement-impossible time on the display section when the measurement-impossible time has not elapsed.

4. The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, wherein:

the controller displays that the measurement is possible on the display section after the measurement-impossible time has elapsed.
