Article of manufacture comprising computer usable medium for a portable blood sugar value measuring apparatus
First Claim
1. An article of manufacture comprising:
- a computer usable medium, including computer-readable program code means embodied therein, for causing a computer to manage data in a measuring apparatus, the computer-readable program code means in the article of manufacture comprising;
computer-readable program code detecting means for causing the computer to detect whether an electrode has been mounted on the measuring apparatus;
computer-readable program code characteristic measuring means for causing the computer to measure a characteristic of the electrode to determine what type of electrode has been mounted on the measuring apparatus;
computer-readable program code clocking means for causing the computer to clock a first period of time after the computer has measured the characteristic of the electrode;
computer-readable program code determining means for causing the computer to determine whether an execution for clocking the first period of time has been switched over to an execution for measuring density of an element included in a biological body fluid before a termination point of the first period of time;
computer-readable program code density measuring means for causing the computer to measure density of the element included in the biological body fluid which has been placed on the electrode when the execution for the first period of time has been switched over to the execution for measuring density of the element included in the biological body fluid before a termination point of the first period of time;
computer-readable program code density storing means for causing the computer to store a measured density of the element included in the biological body fluid in a storing means; and
computer-readable program code read out and output means for causing the computer to read out measured density data stored in the storing meansand then output the measured density data read out from the storing means when the first period of time has reached a termination point without being switched over to the execution for measuring density of the element included in the biological body fluid.

Abstract
An article of manufacture includes a computer usable medium, including computer-readable program code instructions embodied therein, for causing a computer to manage data in a measuring apparatus. The instructions include a detecting portion utilized for causing the computer to detect whether an electrode has been mounted on the measuring apparatus. A characteristic measuring portion is utilized for causing the computer to measure a characteristic of the electrode to determine what type of electrode has been mounted on the measuring apparatus. A clocking portion is utilized for causing the computer to clock a first period of time after the computer has measured the characteristic of the electrode. A determining portion is utilized for causing the computer to determine whether to measure density of an element included in a biological body fluid or whether to read out measured density data. A density measuring portion is utilized for causing the computer to measure density of the element included in the biological body fluid which has been placed on the electrode. A density storing portion is utilized for causing the computer to store a measured density of the element included in the biological body fluid in a storing device. A read out portion is utilized for causing the computer to read out measured density data stored in the storing device.
