Data transfer device and data transfer system
First Claim
1. A data transfer device which receives respective transmitting units that are individually detachably attachable to a sensor unit configured to be at least partially placed in a living body of a subject to acquire a biosignal of the subject and to acquire bio-information from the biosignal acquired in the sensor unit to transmit the bio-information to an external unit, the data transfer device comprising:
- a first port configured to receive a first transmitting unit and a second port configured to receive a second transmitting unit;
a first communication section provided at the first port and configured to communicate with the first transmitting unit when the first transmitting unit is mounted on the first port, and a second communication section provided at the second port and configured to communicate with the second transmitting unit when the second transmitting unit is mounted on the second port;
data acquiring means for acquiring transmission data, including communication identification information for transmitting the bio-information from one of the first and second transmitting units to the external unit, by the communication section provided in one of the first port and the second port when the respective first transmitting unit and the second transmitting unit is newly placed on the one of the first port and the second port; and
transmitting means configured to transmit to the transmission data acquired by the data acquiring means to the other of the first and second transmitting units.

Abstract
A device for receiving a transmitting unit that is detachably attachable to a sensor unit configured to be placed on a subject to acquire a biosignal of the subject and that acquires bio-information from the biosignal acquired in the sensor unit to transmit the biosignal to an external device. This device has first and second ports on which transmitting units can be placed, and communication sections each provided in a respective one of the ports to carry out communication with the transmitting units mounted on the respective ports. When the transmitting unit is newly mounted on one port, the device acquires transmission data including communication identification information for the transmission from the newly mounted transmitting unit by the communication section of this port and transmits the acquired transmission data to another transmitting unit already mounted on the other port by using the communication section provided in the other port.

9. A data transfer system comprising:
-
at least two transmitting units each separately detachably attachable to a sensor unit which is configured to be at least partially placed in a living body of a subject to acquire a biosignal of the subject, one of the transmitting units being configured to acquire bio-information from the biosignal acquired in the sensor unit to transmit the bio-information to an external unit, the at least two transmitting units comprising one transmitting unit and an other transmitting unit; the external unit that receives the bio-information transmitted from one of the transmitting units; and a data transfer device, the data transfer device comprising; first and second ports at which respective ones of the transmitting units are to be individually placed; a first communication section provided at the first port and with one of the transmitting units placed at the first port, and a second communication section provided at the second port and with an other of the transmitting units placed at the second port; data acquiring means for acquiring transmission data including communication identification information for transmitting to the external device the bio-information from the transmitting unit placed at either one of the first and second ports when the transmitting unit is newly placed at the one port; and transmitting means for transmitting the transmission data acquired by the data acquiring means to the transmitting unit placed at the other of the first and second ports by using the communication section provided in the other of the first and second ports when another of the transmitting units is placed at the other of the first and second ports. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A method of transferring data from one transmitting unit placed at a first port of a transfer device, the one transmitting unit being detachably attachable to a sensor unit configured to be at least partially placed in a living body of a subject to acquire a biosignal of the subject, the one transmitting unit acquiring bio-information based on the biosignal acquired in the sensor unit to transmit the bio-information to an external unit, the transfer device including a second port different from the first port, the method comprising:
-
placing an other transmitting unit different from the one transmitting unit at the second port of the transfer device, the other transmitting unit possessing transmission data including communication identification information for transmitting the bio-information; the transfer device acquiring the transmission data, including the communication identification information for transmitting the bio-information, from the other transmitting unit; and the transfer device transmitting, to the one transmitting unit placed at the first port of the transfer device, the transmission data, including the communication identification information for transmitting the bio-information, acquired from the other transmitting unit. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
