Abstract

A biometric information transfer system is provided, allowing the urgency, etc., of a biometric information measurement result contained in e-mail to be directly and instantaneously noticed. When the biometric information measurement result is converted into e-mail format, attention-drawing information is assigned to the e-mail in accordance with the biometric information measurement result.

Claims

1. A biometric information transfer system for transferring a biometric information measurement result in e-mail format to a mail server via a telecommunication line, the system comprising a biometric information terminal device, which includes:

biometric information measurement means for measuring biometric information;

control means for analyzing and managing the biometric information based on a determination criterion; and

data conversion means for converting the biometric information measurement result into e-mail format, wherein,

the data conversion means assigns attention-drawing information to the e-mail in accordance with the biometric information measurement result.

2. The biometric information transfer system according to claim 1, wherein the biometric information terminal device further includes condition detecting means for detecting a measurement condition for the biometric information, and the determination criterion is determined in accordance with the measurement condition.

3. The biometric information transfer system according to claim 1, wherein,

the biometric information terminal device further includes transfer destination information holding means for holding at least a first transfer destination of the e-mail, and

the data conversion means assigns at least the first transfer destination to the e-mail.

4. The biometric information transfer system according to claim 3, wherein,

the biometric information terminal device further includes abnormality sensing means for sensing an abnormality of the biometric information measurement result, and

when the abnormality sensing means senses one or more abnormalities, the data conversion means assigns the e-mail a second transfer destination different from the first transfer destination.

5. The biometric information transfer system according to claim 1, wherein,

the biometric information terminal device further includes transfer operation means for giving a transfer instruction, and

in accordance with the instruction from the transfer operation means, the data conversion means converts the biometric information measurement result into the e-mail format, and starts transferring the e-mail.

6. The biometric information transfer system according to claim 1, wherein the data conversion means assigns a mail-opened confirmation request to the e-mail in accordance with the biometric information measurement result.

7. The biometric information transfer system according to claim 1, wherein,

the biometric information terminal device further includes status detecting means for detecting a status of the biometric information measurement means, and

the data conversion means assigns attention-drawing information to the e-mail in accordance with the status of the biometric information measurement means detected by the status detecting means.

8. The biometric information transfer system according to claim 1, wherein,

the biometric information terminal device further includes manufacturing date detecting means for detecting a manufacturing date and time of the biometric information measurement means, determining a difference between a current date and time and the manufacturing date and time, and determining whether a period of validity of the biometric information measurement means has expired, and

the data conversion means assigns the attention-drawing information to the e-mail in accordance with whether the period of validity has expired.
