Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a sensor, an acquisition module, an estimation module, and a transmission controller. The sensor is configured to detect biomedical data of a user. The acquisition module is configured to acquire first and second biomedical data detected by the sensor. The estimation module is configured to estimate the user'"'"'s status based on the first biomedical data. The transmission controller is configured to transmit the second biomedical data to an external apparatus at a timing in accordance with the user'"'"'s estimated status.

Claims

1. An electronic apparatus comprising a sensor configured to detect biomedical data, comprising:

an acquisition controller configured to acquire first and second biomedical data detected by the sensor;

an estimation controller configured to estimate status based on the first biomedical data; and

a transmission controller configured to transmit the second biomedical data to an external apparatus at a first time based upon the estimated status.

2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first biomedical data and the second biomedical data are identical.

3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a calculator configured to calculate a priority of the sensor based on the estimated status in accordance with a communication status with the external apparatus,

wherein the transmission controller is configured to transmit the second biomedical data to the external apparatus when the calculated priority of the sensor exceeds a value set in advance.

4. The electronic apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a calculator configured to calculate a priority of the electronic apparatus based on a performance of the electronic apparatus,

wherein the transmission controller is configured to transmit the second biomedical data to the external apparatus based on the calculated priority of the electronic apparatus.
