Abstract

In a housing configured to mount thereon a biosensor in an attachable and detachable manner in which the biosensor is configured to have a liquid sample of a biological object deposited thereon, the medial measuring device includes a measuring component operable to measure biological information from the liquid sample of the biological object, a recording component operable to store a result measured by the measuring component, and an information protection component operable to determine an access limitation to personal information data stored in the recording component. With this configuration of the device, it is possible to properly protect personal information stored in the device.

Claims

1. A medical measuring device configured to measure biological information and communicate with a management device by wireless communication, the medical measuring device comprising:

a housing configured to have mounted thereon a biosensor in an attachable and detachable manner, the biosensor being configured to have a liquid sample of a biological object deposited thereon,

a measuring component provided in the housing and configured to measure biological information from the liquid sample of the biological object;

a recording component configured to store the biological information measured by the measuring component, to store personal information data, and to store a plurality of user IDs;

an input component configured to receive an inputted user ID;

an information protection component configured to authenticate the inputted user ID at a predetermined time set after the medical measuring device is turned on, to determine that readout of the biological information measured by the measuring component stored in the recording component is to be prohibited when the inputted user ID does not correspond to any of the user IDs stored in the recording component, and to determine that readout of the biological information measured by the measuring component stored in the recording component is not to be prohibited when the inputted user ID corresponds to a user ID stored in the recording component;

a memory storing a program;

a close range communication component configured to perform near field communication with the management device; and

a controller programmed to execute the program stored in the memory to;

perform authentication using information obtained from the management device via the close range communication component,

control a permission or a prohibition of the readout of the personal information data based on a determination result made by the information protection component, and

permit the measurement of the biological information by the measuring component even while the management device is unauthenticated.

2. The medical measuring device according to claim 1,

wherein the predetermined time is a time when the inputted user ID is received by the input component.

3. The medical measuring device according to claim 1, further comprising a display component, wherein

the controller is programmed to execute the program stored on the memory to read out a user ID from the recording component and to control the display component to display a user name related to the user ID read out from the recording component.

4. The medical measuring system according to claim 3, wherein

the controller is programmed to execute the program stored on the memory to control the recording component to store the inputted user ID as corresponding with the biological information measured by the measuring component.
