Abstract

A biological information monitoring system includes: a transmitter to which first channel information is allocated, the transmitter collecting biological information from a living body and outputting the biological information; a first receiver in which the first channel information is set, the first receiver receiving the biological information from the transmitter to which the first channel information is allocated, the first receiver outputting the biological information; a monitoring apparatus receiving the biological information from the first receiver and displaying the received biological information; a setting unit setting the first channel information in the first receiver; a second receiver in which second channel information is set; and a detector determining whether the first channel information is identical with the second channel information.

Claims

1. A biological information monitoring system comprising:

a transmitter to which first channel information is allocated, the transmitter operable to collect biological information from a living body and operable to output the biological information;

a first receiver in which the first channel information is set, the first receiver operable to receive the biological information from the transmitter to which the first channel information is allocated, the first receiver operable to output the biological information;

a monitoring apparatus operable to receive the biological information from the first receiver and operable to display the received biological information;

a setting unit operable to set the first channel information in the first receiver;

a second receiver in which second channel information is set; and

a detector operable to determine whether the first channel information set in the first receiver is identical with the second channel information set in the second receiver.

2. The biological information monitoring system according to claim 1, further comprising a notifying unit, when the detector determines that the first channel information set in the first receiver is identical with the second channel information set in the second receiver, operable to perform notification of duplicate settings.

3. The biological information monitoring system according to claim 2, further comprising an alarm outputting unit, in response to the notification performed by the notifying unit, operable to output an alarm, wherein

the setting unit is disposed in the monitoring apparatus,

the detector and the notifying unit are disposed in the first receiver, and

the alarm outputting unit is disposed in the monitoring apparatus.

4. The biological information monitoring system according to claim 2, further comprising an alarm outputting unit, in response to the notification performed by the notifying unit, operable to output an alarm, wherein

the setting unit is disposed in the monitoring apparatus,

the detecting unit and the notifying unit are disposed in a computer connected to a network, and

the alarm outputting unit is disposed in the monitoring apparatus.

5. The biological information monitoring system according to claim 2, further comprising an alarm outputting unit, in response to the notification performed by the notifying unit, operable to output an alarm, wherein

the setting unit, the detector, the notifying unit and the alarm outputting unit are disposed in the monitoring apparatus.

6. The biological information monitoring system according to claim 1, further comprising a forcible setting unit, when the detector determines that the first channel information set in the first receiver is identical with the second channel information set in the second receiver, operable to set the determination to be valid or invalid.
