Abstract

A method that includes acquiring a first biological data of a user from a measuring device and determining whether the acquired first biological data is within a valid data range, such that the valid data range includes at least one valid section, and a validity time period is set for each section of the at least one valid section. The method further includes transmitting the first biological data to a terminal when the acquired first biological data is within the valid data range.

Claims

1. A data transmission method, comprising:

acquiring a first biological data of a user from a measuring device;

determining whether the acquired first biological data is within a valid data range, wherein the valid data range includes at least one valid section, and a validity time period is set for each section of the at least one valid section; and

transmitting the first biological data to a terminal when the acquired first biological data is within the valid data range.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the biological data is at least one of body weight, height, blood glucose level, blood pressure, or body temperature.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

updating the validity time period set for at least one valid section of the at least one valid section.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

outputting a message requesting communication with the terminal when the first biological data is not included within the valid data range.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

updating the valid data range based on the first biological data when information, indicating that the first biological data is valid, is received from the terminal, wherein the updating occurs despite the first biological data being not included within the valid data range.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the updating comprises adjusting the valid data range to include a new valid section including the first biological data, and setting a validity time period for the new valid section.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

outputting a message requesting a re-measurement to obtain second biological data when the first biological data is not included within the valid data range.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

determining whether the second biological data measured by the measuring device is acquired, after outputting the message; and

outputting a message requesting repair or replacement of the measuring device when the second biological data is not acquired within a preset time period.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

eliminating a first valid section from the valid data range when the first biological data is not acquired during the validity time period set for a first valid section.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the validity time period set for each of the at least one valid section is set based on the number of the biological data already included in each of the at least one valid section.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

generating the valid data range based on biological data of other users, wherein the other users have characteristics corresponding to those of the user.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the terminal is a physician terminal.

23. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

generating the valid data range based on biological data of other users, wherein the other users have characteristics corresponding to those of the user.

13. A apparatus comprising:

a memory configured to store at least one program; and

a processor, being controlled by the at least one program to perform;

acquiring a first biological data of a user from a measuring device;

determining whether the acquired first biological data is within a valid data range, wherein the valid data range includes at least one valid section, and a validity time period is set for each section of the at least one valid section; and

transmitting the first biological data to a terminal when the acquired first biological data is within the valid data range.

14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the biological data is at least one of body weight, height, blood glucose level, blood pressure, or body temperature.

15. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

updating the validity time period set for at least one valid section of the at least one valid section.

16. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

outputting a message requesting communication with the terminal when the first biological data is not included within the valid data range.

17. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

updating the valid data range based on the first biological data when information, indicating that the first biological data is valid, is received from the terminal, wherein the updating occurs despite the first biological data being not included within the valid data range.

18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the updating comprises adjusting the valid data range to include a new valid section including the first biological data, and setting a validity time period for the new valid section.

19. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

outputting a message requesting a re-measurement to obtain second biological data when the first biological data is not included within the valid data range.

20. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

determining whether the second biological data measured by the measuring device is acquired, after outputting the message; and

outputting a message requesting repair or replacement of the measuring device when the second biological data is not acquired within a preset time period.

21. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

eliminating a first valid section from the valid data range when the first biological data is not acquired during the validity time period set for a first valid section.

22. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the validity time period set for each of the at least one valid section is set based on the number of the biological data already included in each of the at least one valid section.

24. A machine-readable non-transitory medium having stored thereon machine-executable instructions for:

acquiring a first biological data of a user from a measuring device;

determining whether the acquired first biological data is within a valid data range, wherein the valid data range includes at least one valid section, and a validity time period is set for each section of the at least one valid section; and

transmitting the first biological data to a terminal when the acquired first biological data is within the valid data range.
