Abstract

A biological information processing system includes a biological information measurement device configured to measure biological information of a subject; and a control device configured to manage the biological information. The control device includes, among other things, an analysis section configured to analyze flag information contained in measurement data received from the biological information measurement device, and a data correction section configured to, when an analysis conducted by an analysis section shows that a measurement date and time are a provisional date and time, correct the measurement date and time information on the basis of a time discrepancy between measurement-side clock information and control-side clock information.

Claims

1. A biological information processing system comprising:

a biological information measurement device configured to measure biological information of a subject; and

a control device configured to manage the biological information,

wherein the biological information measurement device includes;

a storage section configured to relate the biological information, measurement date and time information, and flag information to one another, and to store these pieces of information as measurement data, the measurement date and time information indicating a date and time when the biological information is measured, and the flag information indicating whether the measurement date and time are a provisional date and time, the provisional date and time being a date and time at which a clock has not yet been set to a correct date and time, and

a data transmission section configured to transmit the measurement data and measurement-side clock information possessed by the biological information measurement device to the control device, and

wherein the control device includes;

an analysis section configured to analyze the flag information contained in the measurement data received from the biological information measurement device,

a data correction section configured to, when the analysis conducted by the analysis section shows that the measurement date and time are the provisional date and time, correct the measurement date and time information on the basis of a time discrepancy between the measurement-side clock information and control-side clock information possessed by the control device, and

a recording section configured to relate the biological information to corrected measurement date and time information corrected by the data correction section and record both pieces of information as corrected measurement data.

2. The biological information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the control device further includes a clock information transmission section configured to transmit the control-side clock information to the biological information measurement device.

3. The biological information processing system according to claim 2, wherein, when the analysis conducted by the analysis section shows that the measurement date and time is the provisional date and time, the clock information transmission section transmits the control-side clock information to the biological information measurement device.

4. The biological information processing system according to claim 1, wherein the biological information measurement device further includes a data erasing section configured to, when the data transmission section transmits the measurement data and the measurement-side clock information to the control device, delete the measurement data stored in the storage section.

5. The biological information processing system according to claim 1,

wherein the biological information measurement device further includes a second data correction section configured to, when the measurement date and time is the provisional date and time, correct the measurement date and time information on the basis of the time discrepancy between the measurement-side clock information and the control-side clock information received from the control device, and

wherein the storage section is configured to relate the biological information to corrected measurement date and time information corrected by the second data correction section and store both pieces of information as corrected measurement data.

6. The biological information processing system according to claim 1,

wherein the biological information measurement device further includes:

a detection section configured to detect replacement of a battery in the biological information measurement device; and

a flag setting section configured to, when the detection section detects the replacement of the battery, set flag information indicating that a measurement date and time of the biological information measured after the replacement of the battery is the provisional date and time.

7. The biological information processing system according to claim 6,

wherein the biological information measurement device further includes a clock correction section configured to correct the measurement-side clock information on the basis of the control-side clock information received from the control device, and

wherein the flag setting section is configured to, when the clock correction section corrects the measurement-side clock information, set flag information indicating that the measurement date and time information in the biological information measured after the correction of the measurement-side clock information is not the provisional date and time.

8. A biological information measurement device for measuring biological information on a subject, the biological information measurement device comprising:

a storage section configured to relate the biological information, measurement date and time information, and flag information to one another, and to store these pieces of information as measurement data, the measurement date and time information indicating a date and time when the biological information is measured, and the flag information indicating whether the measurement date and time are a provisional date and time, the provisional date and time being a date and time at which a clock has not yet been set to a correct date and time; and

a data transmission section configured to transmit the measurement data and measurement-side clock information possessed by the biological information measurement device to the control device.

9. A control device for managing biological information on a subject that is measured by a biological information measurement device, the control device comprising:

a receiving section configured to receive measurement data and measurement-side clock information from the biological information measurement device, the measurement data being related to the biological information, measurement date and time information, and flag information, the measurement-side clock information being possessed by the biological information measurement device, the measurement date and time information indicating a date and time when the biological information is measured, the flag information indicating whether the measurement date and time are a provisional date and time, the provisional date and time being a date and time at which a clock has not yet been set to a correct date and time;

an analysis section configured to analyze the flag information contained in the measurement data;

a data correction section configured to, when the analysis conducted by the analysis section shows that the measurement date and time are the provisional date and time, correct the measurement date and time information on the basis of a time discrepancy between the measurement-side clock information and control-side clock information possessed by the control device; and

a recording section for relating the biological information to corrected measurement date and time information corrected by the data correction section and recording both pieces of information as corrected measurement data.
