Physiological information transmission system with sensor and smartphone
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11980438B2) discloses a physiological information transmission system that includes a physiological information detection sensor and a smartphone. The smartphone is equipped with various sections, including a sensor identification information acquiring section and a living body identification information acquiring section. These sections work together to generate association information linking the sensor identification information and living body identification information. This association information is then transmitted to the physiological information detection sensor through short-range wireless communication. The sensor, in turn, detects physiological information of the living body and determines whether the received association information contains its own sensor identification information. If so, it transmits second association information linking the living body identification information and the detected physiological information to an external display device or transfer device.
Furthermore, the patent also details a physiological information detection sensor that includes a receiver for receiving association information from the smartphone, a determining section to verify the presence of its own sensor identification information in the received data, and a transmitter to send out the second association information to an external device. The sensor is designed to establish a connection with the smartphone and facilitate the transmission of crucial physiological data. Additionally, the smartphone is equipped with features like a medical person identification information acquiring section to further enhance the association information by including details of the medical personnel involved. This innovative system aims to streamline the process of collecting and transmitting physiological information, ensuring efficient and accurate data transfer within a short-range wireless communication range of 100 mm.
