Abstract

The protrusion relates to a device comprising a main body case having a sensor mounting component, a measurement component that is connected to the sensor mounting component, a controller that is connected to this measurement component, and a display component that is connected to this controller. A communication component that is connected to the controller communicates pharmaceutical injection information and non-pharmaceutical-injection information to a specific pump. The controller performs communication at a first output when communicating non-pharmaceutical-injection information to the pump, and performs communication at a second output that is smaller than the first output when communicating pharmaceutical injection information to the pump

Claims

1. A biological information measurement device comprising:

a main body case including a sensor mounting component, a measurement component, a controller, a display component, and a communication component;

the measurement component connected to the sensor mounting component;

the controller connected to the measurement component;

the display component connected to the controller; and

the communication component connected to the controller and configured to;

communicate information to a pharmaceutical injection device, the information including pharmaceutical injection information and non-pharmaceutical-injection information,

perform communication at a first output when communicating the non-pharmaceutical-injection information to the pharmaceutical injection device, and

perform communication at a second output when communicating the pharmaceutical injection information to the pharmaceutical injection device, the second output being smaller than the first output.

2. The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, wherein:

the pharmaceutical injection information is at least one of pharmaceutical dose information, pharmaceutical dose calculation information, and individual information.

3. The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, wherein:

the controller is further configured to determine whether a communication from the communication component to the pharmaceutical injection device at the second output is possible, and

when the controller determines that the communication is impossible, the display component displays individual identification information or individual identification information about the pharmaceutical injection device.

4. The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, wherein:

the controller is further configured to determine whether a communication from the communication component to the pharmaceutical injection device at the second output is possible, and

when the controller is determining whether the communication from the communication component to the pharmaceutical injection device at the second output is possible, the display component displays a message prompting the removal of a sensor from the sensor mounting component.

5. The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, further comprising:

the controller is further configured to detect whether a sensor is mounted to the sensor mounting component.

6. The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, wherein:

the second output is a near field communication level output.

7. A biological information measurement method comprising:

communicating information to a pharmaceutical injection device, the information including pharmaceutical information and non-pharmaceutical-injection information;

carrying out the communication of non-pharmaceutical-injection information at a first output level; and

carrying out the communication of pharmaceutical injection information at a second out put level, the second output level smaller than the first output level.

8. The biological information measurement method of claim 7, wherein:

the pharmaceutical injection information is at least one of pharmaceutical dose information, pharmaceutical dose calculation information, and individual information.

9. The biological information measurement method of claim 7, further comprising:

determining whether a communication to the pharmaceutical injection device at the second output is possible, and

if the communication is impossible, displaying individual identification information or individual identification information about the pharmaceutical injection device.

10. The biological information measurement method of claim 7, further comprising:

detecting whether a sensor is mounted.

11. The biological information measurement method of claim 7, further comprising:

accepting a biological sample from a user;

displaying a message prompting the removal of a sensor if the sensor is mounted;

determining whether a communication from the communication component to the pharmaceutical injection device at the second output is possible.

12. The biological information measurement method of claim 7, wherein:

the second output level is a near field communication level output.
