BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE MEASURING APPARATUS AND BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE MEASURING SYSTEM INCLUDING SAME
First Claim
1. A biological sample measurement apparatus for communicating wirelessly with an external device, comprising:
- a biological data measurement component for measuring biological data;
a transmitter for transmitting the biological data measured by the biological data measurement component;
a receiver for receiving an acknowledge signal that is returned when the external device has properly received the biological data transmitted by the transmitter;
a storage component for storing as history information whether or not the acknowledge signal was received and transmission power when the transmitter transmitted the biological data; and
a transmission power determiner for determining transmission power of the transmitter on the basis of the history information stored in the storage component, or the history information extracted according to a transmission power determination rule that sets forth extraction conditions.

Abstract
A wireless blood glucose meter (2) has a blood glucose level detector (21), a transmitter (22), a receiver (23), a storage component (24), and a transmission power determiner (25). Whether or not an acknowledge signal has been received and the transmission power when the transmitter (22) has transmitted a blood glucose level are stored as history information in the storage component (24), and the transmission power determiner (25) determines the transmission power when the transmitter (22) transmits on the basis of the history information stored in the storage component (24).
