Abstract

A bio-information acquiring terminal for acquiring bio-information includes a bath device. The bath device is provided with a bio-information measuring unit configured to measure bio-information of a user taking a bath, and a fingerprint authentication unit configured to specify the user. According to the above configuration, it is possible to easily manage daily changes of the health condition of the user in his or her daily life.

Claims

1. An information displaying method for displaying, on a display device, information to be generated based on bio-information collected in a service providing system configured such that a service provider collects the bio-information from a plurality of bio-information acquiring terminals via a network and provides a service based on the collected bio-information, the method comprising:

displaying one or more of the bio-information acquiring terminals owned by a user using the display device;

displaying each of the bio-information collected by the bio-information acquiring terminals in association with each of the bio-information acquiring terminals;

displaying each of the bio-information by differentiating a first display mode for bio-information permissible to be provided to the service provider from a second display mode for bio-information impermissible to be provided to the service provider; and

displaying each of the bio-information by differentiating a third display mode for bio-information permissible to be stored in the bio-information acquiring terminal from a fourth display mode for bio-information impermissible to be stored in the bio-information acquiring terminal.

4. The information display method according to claim 1, wherein the first display mode displays the bio-information permissible to be provided to the service provider in a first color, and the second display mode displays the bio-information impermissible to be provided to the service provider in a second color different from the first color.

2. A service providing system configured such that a service provider collects bio-information from a plurality of bio-information acquiring terminals via a network and provides a service based on the collected bio-information, the system comprising:

displaying, on a display device for displaying information to be generated based on the collected bio-information, one or more of the bio-information acquiring terminals owned by a user using the display device;

displaying each of the bio-information collected by the bio-information acquiring terminals in association with each of the bio-information acquiring terminals;

displaying, on the display device, each of the bio-information by differentiating a first display mode for bio-information permissible to be provided to the service provider from a second display mode for bio-information impermissible to be provided to the service provider; and

displaying, on the display device, each of the bio-information by differentiating a third display mode for bio-information permissible to be stored in the bio-information acquiring terminal from a fourth display mode for bio-information impermissible to be stored in the bio-information acquiring terminal.

3. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium which stores therein a program causing a computer to serve as a display device for displaying information to be generated based on bio-information collected from a plurality of bio-information acquiring terminals via a network, the program further causing the computer to execute:

displaying, on a display of the computer, one or more of the bio-information acquiring terminals owned by a user using the display device;

displaying, on the display, each of the bio-information collected by the bio-information acquiring terminals in association with each of the bio-information acquiring terminals, and

displaying, on the display, each of the bio-information by differentiating a first display mode for bio-information permissible to be provided to a service provider which provides a service based on the bio-information from a second display mode for bio-information impermissible to be provided to the service provider; and

displaying, on the display, each of the bio-information by differentiating a third display mode for bio-information permissible to be stored in the bio-information acquiring terminal from a fourth display mode for bio-information impermissible to be stored in the bio-information acquiring terminal.
