PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To sufficiently register measurement data necessary for a user without producing any waste of resources.SOLUTION: When receiving transmission data including data measured by health appliances VD1-VDm, a measurement data management device analyzes the received transmission data to extract a user ID and an appliance ID, and determines whether or not an item corresponding to the appliance ID is set in a configuration file corresponding to the extracted user ID. When it is determined that no item is set, the measurement data management device adds a new item in the configuration file, newly constructs a data table on the basis of the configuration content of the configuration file to which the new item has been added, extracts measurement data from the received transmission data, and stores the extracted measurement data in the newly constructed data table.

Description

  The present invention relates to a measurement data management apparatus, method, and program for accumulating data measured by a measurement device such as a health device in a database for browsing.

  In general, information on personal health is scattered in various places, such as medical records for medical records, health checkups for health checkups, insurers, fitness information for fitness clubs, and weight and other information at home. Yes. For this reason, when an individual tries to utilize his / her health information, for example, the corresponding information must be acquired by accessing a server or the like operated by each institution or the like, and the procedure and operation are extremely troublesome.

  Therefore, a PHR (Personal Health Record) system that makes it possible to centrally manage and utilize various information related to personal health has been proposed (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1 or 2). By using the PHR system, individuals can easily acquire multiple types of information about their health at any time and anywhere on their own initiative, thereby properly grasping their health status and promoting health and lifestyle habits. It can be used for disease prevention.

  However, in the system described in Non-Patent Document 1, the registered items of the type of measurement data are limited to only some items such as the number of steps, weight, blood pressure and the like. For this reason, even if the user purchases another type of measurement device, the measurement data cannot be additionally registered.

  On the other hand, in the system described in Non-Patent Document 2, in consideration of user convenience, a large number of registration items are prepared in advance corresponding to various types of measurement data that may be registered. However, even with this system, it is still impossible to additionally register measurement data of a type not prepared. In addition, since a large number of items are prepared in advance regardless of the presence or absence of registration, waste of resources such as the storage capacity of the database increases.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above circumstances, and the object of the present invention is to provide measurement data management that allows a user to register necessary and sufficient types of measurement data without wasting resources. To provide an apparatus, a method, and a program.

  In order to achieve the above object, a first aspect of the present invention provides a plurality of data tables for storing measurement data by type, and a setting for holding information representing a correspondence relationship between the plurality of data tables and the types of measurement data In a measurement data management device that has a file and stores data measured by the measuring device in the data table for browsing, and receives transmission data that includes data measured by the measuring device. It is determined whether the type of measurement data included in the transmitted data is already registered or not registered in the setting file. Then, when it is determined as unregistered, a new item is added to the setting file, and data corresponding to the type of measurement data determined as unregistered based on the setting file to which the new item is added A table is constructed, measurement data is extracted from the received transmission data, and the extracted measurement data is stored in the corresponding data table constructed.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, general-purpose display screen data shared for a plurality of types of measurement data is read from the storage means, and the label information of the read general-purpose display screen data is stored in the item of the setting file. Is changed to information representing the type of measurement data based on the information described in. Then, the measurement data of the corresponding type read from the data table is synthesized with the display screen data whose label information has been changed, and the synthesized display screen data is output.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, every time measurement data is received, it is determined whether or not the measurement data is of a new type. If the measurement data is of a new type, it is automatically set. The file is rewritten, the data table is constructed according to the contents, and the measurement data is registered. For this reason, for example, when a user purchases a new measuring device and tries to additionally register the measurement data, the user simply transmits the measurement data as usual and additionally registers the new type of measurement data. It becomes possible to do. In addition, since a necessary and sufficient data table according to the user's request is always prepared in the database, it is possible to eliminate waste of resources such as the storage capacity of the database.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the label information of the general-purpose display screen data is changed and the measurement data is displayed, the management device (service provider) side has a dedicated display screen for each type of measurement data. There is no need to create data, and the user can clearly identify the type of measurement data based on the label information of the display screen data.

  That is, according to each aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a measurement data management apparatus, method, and program capable of registering necessary and sufficient types of measurement data required by a user without causing waste of resources. .

Embodiments according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[One Embodiment]
(Constitution)
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a PHR server, which is an embodiment of a measurement data management apparatus according to the present invention, together with measurement devices and relay devices used by users. SV is a PHR server, and VD1 to VDm are Health devices (vital devices) as measuring devices, RT1 to RTn respectively indicate relay terminals as relay devices.

  The health devices VD1 to VDm include, for example, a sphygmomanometer, a thermometer, a pedometer, and a pulse oximeter, all of which have a function of transmitting measurement data to the relay terminals RT1 to RTn via a wireless network. As the wireless network, for example, a wireless network adopting a low power wireless data transmission standard such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) is used.

  The relay terminals RT1 to RTn are mobile terminals such as mobile phones, smartphones, tablet terminals, and sub-note type personal computers. The relay terminals RT1 to RTn receive the wireless interface for performing data wireless transmission with the PHR server SV via the wide area network (WAN) 4 and the measurement data transmitted from the health devices VD1 to VDm. A wireless interface function for receiving is provided, and a browser function for accessing the PHR server SV is further provided. Then, using these functions, the measurement data transmitted from the health devices VD1 to VDm is relay-transferred to the PHR server SV, and the display screen data for browsing transmitted from the PHR server SV is received and displayed. To display. Note that a wired interface can be used as a communication interface for performing data transmission with the PHR server SV via the wide area network 4.

The PHR server SV is managed and operated on the Web by a health service provider, for example, and is configured as follows. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration.
That is, the PHR server SV includes a control unit 1, a wide area network interface (WAN I / F) 2, and a storage unit 3. The WAN I / F 2 performs wireless data communication with the relay terminals RT1 to RTn according to the protocol defined by the WAN4.

  The storage unit 3 uses, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid state drive (SSD) as a storage medium. A user information database (user information DB) 31 and a device information database (device information DB) 32 are used. A setting file storage unit 33 and a data table storage unit 34.

  The user information DB 31 stores user information including the user name and attribute information in association with the user ID for each user. FIG. 6 shows an example. In the device information DB 32, device information representing the type, manufacturer name, function, etc. of the device is stored in association with the device IDs of all commercially available health devices. FIG. 7 shows an example. The data table storage unit 34 stores a plurality of data tables constructed for each type of health device VD1 to VDm. The setting file storage unit 33 stores a setting file that holds information representing the correspondence relationship between each data table and the type of measurement data.

  The control unit 1 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit). As control processing functions necessary for implementing this embodiment, a data reception analysis processing unit 11, a setting file rewrite processing unit 12, and a table construction processing unit 13 are provided. A measurement data storage control unit 14 and a display screen data generation processing unit 15. All of these control processing functions are realized by causing the CPU to execute an application program stored in a program memory (not shown).

  When the transmission data is transmitted from the relay terminals RT1 to RTn, the data reception analysis processing unit 11 receives the transmission data via the WAN I / F2, and first transmits the data by analyzing the received transmission data. The original user ID and device ID are extracted. Then, the user information DB 31 and the device information ID 32 are searched based on the extracted user ID and device ID, respectively, and the user information and device information are specified. Next, the setting file storage unit 33 is searched based on the specified user information and device information, and a process of determining whether the data table corresponding to the device type of the user has been built or not is performed. .

  The setting file rewrite processing unit 12 adds a new item to the setting file when the data reception analysis processing unit 11 determines that the data table corresponding to the device requested to register the transmission source user is not yet constructed. Process to add.

  The table construction processing unit 13 re-reads the setting file to which a new item has been added by the setting file rewriting processing unit 12, that is, the setting file after the rewriting process, and the data table reflecting the setting contents in the read setting file Is stored and stored in the data table storage unit 34.

  The measurement data storage control unit 14 analyzes the transmission data received by the data reception analysis processing unit 11 to extract measurement data (including measurement values and measurement time), and newly extracts the measurement data thus extracted. Perform processing to store in the constructed data table.

  The display screen data generation processing unit 15 first reads general-purpose display screen data from a display template storage unit (not shown) in the storage unit 3, and reads the label information of the read general-purpose display screen data as the setting file storage unit. Based on the device information described in the setting file stored in 33, the information is changed to information indicating the type of measuring device. Subsequently, the measurement data of the corresponding measuring device is read from the data table storage unit 34, and the read measurement data is superimposed on the display screen data with the label information changed to generate display screen data. Then, the generated display screen data is transmitted from the WAN I / F 2 to the transmission relay terminals RT1 to RTn.

(Operation)
Next, the operation of new data registration processing by the PHR server SV configured as described above will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure and processing contents, and FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram showing the data flow of the entire system.
Here, the data table corresponding to the sphygmomanometer VD1 of the user A has already been stored in the data table storage unit 34, but the description is made assuming that no other data table corresponding to the health device is stored. Do.

Now, for example, it is assumed that the user A measures his / her blood pressure with the sphygmomanometer VD1, and transmits the measurement data to the PHR server SV using the relay terminal RT2 together with a registration request including the user ID.
In the standby state, the PHR server SV monitors whether or not transmission data is received in step S11. When the transmission data is received in this state, the data reception analysis processing unit 11 is activated in step S12. Then, under the control of the data reception analysis processing unit 11, the received transmission data is analyzed to first extract the transmission source user ID and device ID. Then, the user information DB 31 and the device information ID 32 are searched based on the extracted user ID and device ID, respectively, and the user information and device information are read out. Subsequently, in step S13, based on the read user information and device information of the user, the corresponding setting file stored in the setting file storage unit 33 is referred to correspond to the user A. It is determined whether a table corresponding to the health device (blood pressure monitor) represented by the device information already exists in the attached data table.

  As a result of the determination, if a data table corresponding to the sphygmomanometer already exists, the PHR server SV moves to step S14, extracts the blood pressure measurement data from the received transmission data in step S14, and Store in existing blood pressure data table. At this time, the maximum blood pressure and the minimum blood pressure are stored in the data table as shown in FIG. 4, for example, and the measurement time is stored. In addition, the pulse rate and the like may be stored together.

On the other hand, it is assumed that the user A performs measurement using, for example, the pulse oximeter VDi and transmits the measurement data to the PHR server SV using the relay terminal RT2 together with the registration request.
Upon receiving the transmission data, the PHR server SV analyzes the received transmission data under the control of the data reception analysis processing unit 11 in step S12, as in the case of “blood pressure measurement” described above. The user ID and device ID of the transmission source are extracted. Then, the user information DB 31 and the device information ID 32 are searched based on the extracted user ID and device ID, respectively, and the user information and device information are read out.

  For example, if the transmission data as shown in FIG. 5 is received, the user ID “123456789” is extracted from the PID information shown in bold in the figure, and the user shown in FIG. 6 with this user ID as a key. “User A” is retrieved from the information DB 31. Further, the ID “528388” of the measuring device used by the user is extracted from the OBX information, and “pulse oximeter” is searched from the device information DB 32 shown in FIG. 7 using this device ID as a key.

  Subsequently, in step S13, the setting file corresponding to the user A stored in the setting file storage unit 33 based on the read out information of “user A” and information of “pulse oximeter”. , It is determined whether or not a table corresponding to the “pulse oximeter” exists in the data table associated with the user A.

  If there is no data table corresponding to the “pulse oximeter” as a result of this determination, the process proceeds to step S15 to start the setting file rewrite processing unit 12, and under the control of this setting file rewriting processing unit 12, the setting is made. A new item is added to the setting file corresponding to the user A stored in the file storage unit 33.

  Next, in step S16, under the control of the table construction processing unit 13, the setting file to which the new item is added, that is, the setting file after the rewriting process is read again. Then, a data table corresponding to the “pulse oximeter” reflecting the setting contents in the read setting file is constructed and stored in the data table storage unit 34. FIG. 8 shows a data table corresponding to the “pulse oximeter” constructed at this time.

  Subsequently, in step S17, under the control of the data reception analysis processing unit 11, the received transmission data is analyzed and measurement data is extracted. For example, in the case of the transmission data shown in FIG. 9A, the measurement value “80.5” of “oxygen saturation” and the measurement time “20110615123454” are extracted from the information of the OBX into which the measurement data is inserted. In step S18, the measurement data storage control unit 14 is activated. Under the control of the measurement data storage control unit 14, the extracted measurement value “80.5” of the “oxygen saturation” and the measurement time “20110615123454” Are stored in a data table corresponding to the newly constructed “pulse oximeter”. FIG. 9B shows a data table corresponding to the “pulse oximeter” after the storage.

  Further, the PHR server SV displays the measurement data stored in the data table on the relay terminal RT2 of the user A as follows. That is, when a request for browsing desired measurement data transmitted from the relay terminals RT1 to RTm of the user is received, first, a display template (not shown) in the storage unit 3 is controlled in step S19 under the control of the display screen data generation processing unit 15. Read general-purpose display screen data from the storage unit. Then, the label information of the read general-purpose display screen data is changed to information representing the type of the measuring device based on the device information of the setting file of the user A stored in the setting file storage unit 33. For example, if the browsing request from the user is “pulse oximeter”, the label is changed to “pulse oximeter” as shown in FIGS.

  Subsequently, in step S20, the measurement data of the corresponding measuring device is read from the data table storage unit 34, and the read measurement data is superimposed on the display screen data in which the label information is changed to display the display screen data. Is generated. For example, as shown in FIG. 10B, the measured value “80.5” of “oxygen saturation” is plotted on the display screen data including a graph, and text data representing the numerical value is displayed.

Finally, in step S21, the generated display screen data is transmitted from the WAN I / F 2 to the requesting relay terminal RT2. Thus, the display data for the “pulse oximeter” in which the measurement value “80.5” of the “oxygen saturation” is plotted on the graph is displayed on the relay terminal RT2.
The data registration process and the data browsing process may be performed continuously, but may be performed separately.

(effect)
As described above in detail, according to one embodiment, when transmission data including data measured by the health devices VD1 to VDm is received, the received transmission data is analyzed to obtain a user ID and a device ID. It is determined whether or not an item corresponding to the device ID is set in the setting file corresponding to the extracted user ID. If it is determined that the item is not set, a new item is added to the setting file, and a data table is newly constructed based on the setting contents of the setting file to which the new item is added. The measurement data is extracted from the received transmission data, and the extracted measurement data is stored in the newly constructed data table.

  Therefore, each time measurement data is received, it is determined whether or not the measurement data is of a new type. If the measurement data is of a new type, the configuration file is automatically rewritten and The data table is constructed and the measurement data is registered. For this reason, for example, when a user purchases a new measuring device and tries to additionally register the measurement data, the user simply transmits the measurement data as usual and additionally registers the new type of measurement data. It becomes possible to do. In addition, since the storage unit 3 is always provided with the necessary and sufficient data table storage unit 34 according to the user's request, it is possible to eliminate waste of resources such as the storage capacity of the storage unit 3.

  Moreover, in one embodiment, since the measurement data is plotted and displayed using the general-purpose display screen data after changing the label information, the service provider side displays a dedicated display for each type of measurement data. There is no need to create screen data, and the user side can clearly identify the type of measurement data by the label information of the display screen data.
