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, wherein the communication component;

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

performs a first transmission output of the communication component when transmitting the non-pharmaceutical-injection information to the pharmaceutical injection device, and

performs a second transmission output of the communication component when transmitting the pharmaceutical injection information to the pharmaceutical injection device only when the communication component and the pharmaceutical injection device are in near field communication, wherein;

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

when the controller determines that the communication from the communication component to the pharmaceutical injection device at the second transmission output is impossible due to an improper matching of the biological information measurement device and the pharmaceutical injection device, the display component either displays;

(1) individual identification information about the biological information measurement device belonging to a different user, or

(2) individual identification information about the pharmaceutical injection device along with the biological information measurement device belonging to the different user.

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:

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

4. 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.

5. A biological information measurement method comprising:

transmitting information to a pharmaceutical injection device from a communication component, the information including pharmaceutical information and non-pharmaceutical-injection information;

transmitting a first transmission output of non-pharmaceutical-injection information;

transmitting a second transmission output of pharmaceutical injection information only when the communication component and the pharmaceutical injection device are in near field communication; and

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

if the communication to the pharmaceutical injection device at the second transmission output is impossible due to improper matching of the biological information measurement device and the pharmaceutical injection device, displaying individual identification information about either;

(1) the biological information measurement device belonging to a different user, or

(2) individual identification information about the pharmaceutical injection device along with the biological information measurement device belonging to the different user on a display.

6. The biological information measurement method of claim 5, wherein:

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

7. The biological information measurement method of claim 5, further comprising:

detecting whether a sensor is mounted to a sensor mounting component.

8. The biological information measurement method of claim 5, further comprising:

a biological information measurement device accepting a biological sample from a user;

a display of the biological information measurement device displaying a message prompting removal of a sensor if the sensor is mounted; and

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