Abstract

A wireless communication system may include a wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly receive vital data from a sensing terminal, a storage unit configured to store comparison vital data, a comparison unit configured to compare the wirelessly received vital data with the comparison vital data, and a control unit configured to control the wireless communication unit to transmit an instruction for stopping wireless transmission of the vital data to the sensing terminal that has wirelessly transmitted the vital data based on a comparison result of the comparison unit.

Claims

1. A wireless communication system comprising:

a wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly receive vital data from a sensing terminal;

a storage unit configured to store comparison vital data;

a comparison unit configured to compare the wirelessly received vital data with the comparison vital data; and

a control unit configured to control the wireless communication unit to transmit an instruction for stopping wireless transmission of the vital data to the sensing terminal that has wirelessly transmitted the vital data based on a comparison result of the comparison unit.

2. The wireless communication system according to claim 1, wherein the storage unit stores heart rate data or blood sugar data as the comparison vital data.

3. The wireless communication system according to claim 2, wherein the control unit controls the wireless communication unit to transmit the instruction based on the result obtained by comparing the wirelessly received vital data with the comparison vital data for a plurality of cycles.

4. The wireless communication system according to claim 1, wherein, when, comparing two of a plurality of sensing modes of the sensing terminal, a mode having a relatively long sensing interval is defined as a first mode and a mode having a relatively short sensing interval is defined as a second mode, the instruction includes an instruction for operating the sensing terminal in the first mode.

5. The wireless communication system according to claim 1, further comprising:

an activation signal reception unit configured to receive an activation signal,

wherein, when the activation signal reception unit receives the activation signal, the control unit activates the wireless communication unit.

6. The wireless communication system according to claim 1, wherein, after the wireless communication unit receives the instruction, the control unit stops an operation of the wireless communication unit.

7. A wireless communication system comprising:

a server; and

a wireless communication terminal,

wherein the server comprises;

a communication unit configured to communicate with the wireless communication terminal;

a storage unit configured to store comparison vital data;

a comparison unit configured to compare vital data received from the wireless communication terminal with the comparison vital data; and

a server control unit configured to control the communication unit to transmit a comparison result signal indicating a comparison result of the comparison unit to the wireless communication terminal, and

wherein the wireless communication terminal comprises;

a first wireless communication unit configured to wirelessly receive the vital data from a sensing terminal;

a second communication unit configured to transmit the vital data received from the sensing terminal to the server; and

a control unit configured to control the first wireless communication unit to transmit an instruction for stopping wireless transmission of the vital data to the sensing terminal that has wirelessly transmitted the vital data based on the comparison result signal received from the server.
