Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a women's thermometer that makes it possible to clearly display the fertile period as a birth control period.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, women's thermometers measure a woman's basal body temperature, store this basal body temperature along with the date of measurement, and allow a gynecologist to determine the woman's basal body temperature based on the basal body temperature data during the required body temperature measurement period. Identify the day of ovulation
I had decided that my fertile period would be a few days before and after ovulation.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional women's thermometer described above mainly measures basal body temperature, stores the measured basal body temperature over a long period of time, and is capable of recalling the stored basal body temperature along with the date on which it was measured. However, because it requires the judgment of a gynecologist to identify the day of ovulation and know the fertile period, it is not common and is not necessarily used at a high rate. .
Therefore, there has been a demand for a women's thermometer that allows ordinary women to easily know their fertile period when they want to become pregnant or when they want to use contraception.

Accordingly, the present invention aims to provide a technical problem to be solved in which the fertile period can be clearly displayed as the birth control period in a women's thermometer.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The technical means for solving the above problems is to provide a women's thermometer with a birth control display function, a calendar function, a means for measuring a woman's basal body temperature, and a means for setting the first day of menstruation. a body temperature storage means for storing the measured basal body temperature together with the number of days of the menstrual cycle of the woman; and calculating the day of ovulation based on the basal body temperature and the number of days of the menstrual cycle stored in the body temperature storage means. After searching for the shortest number of days X from the first day of menstruation to the day of ovulation for each menstrual cycle within a predetermined number of months in the past (X-5)
In addition, the number of menstrual cycles counted from the first day of the latest menstrual period to the current day is not less than (X-5), or the shortest number of menstrual cycle days Y of each menstrual cycle within the predetermined multiple months in the past. After searching, calculate (Y-19), and then calculate the number of menstrual cycle days from the first day of the latest menstrual period to the current day (Y-19).
19) When either of the above conditions is satisfied, the fertile period is determined from that day to (ovulation day + predetermined number of days), and the birth control display means graphically displays the fertile period. It is a matter of composition.

[Function] According to the women's thermometer with birth control display function configured as described above, the means for determining the fertile period is as follows:
The shortest number of days from the first day of each menstrual cycle to the day of ovulation within a specified number of months in the past
After searching for (X-5), calculate the number of menstrual cycle days counted from the first day of the most recent menstrual period to the current day, or each within the predetermined multiple months in the past. After searching for the shortest number of menstrual cycle days Y (Y-19)
Calculate and further satisfy either of the following conditions: the number of days in the menstrual cycle from the first day of the most recent menstrual period to the current day is not less than (Y-19), then it is possible from that day to (ovulation day + specified number of days) It is determined that it is the gestation period.
The birth control display means graphically displays the fertile period.

[Example] Next, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In addition, the birth control period display dot BC according to the present invention, which indicates the fertile period in the range of several days before and after the ovulation day calculated by a calculation means described later based on the basal body temperature etc., is the above body temperature. The display dots are arranged in a horizontal row at the lower end.

In addition, at the upper end of the body temperature display dot,
Predetermined notes related to conception, such as bleeding, menstrual pain, etc., are important diagnostic materials when a gynecologist diagnoses and provides guidance related to fertility control.
When drugs such as discharge, intercourse, fever, and ovulation-inducing drugs are administered, by operating keys for memorizing each memo, a memo corresponding to each memorized memo is displayed. Dots MD for memo display are arranged in a horizontal row. In order to display each of the memo display dots MD in sections corresponding to the memo items, a cursor, memo 1, memo 2, memo 3, memo 3, memo 1, memo 2, memo 3, etc. The characters Memo 4, Memo 5, and Memo 6 are engraved. For example, memo 1 could mean "bleeding", memo 2 could mean "menstrual pain", memo 3 could mean "something to do", memo 4 could mean "sexual intercourse", memo 5 could mean "fever", and memo 6 could mean "medication" administration. do.

Various operation button switches are arranged on the right side of the graphic display 5.

As shown in FIG. 1, a total of 12 of the various operation button switches described above are arranged in two vertical columns.
At the top, a switch 11 for setting the "month" of the calendar and a switch 12 for setting the "day" are arranged, and below that is arranged for setting the "hour" of the 24-hour display. switch 13 and
Switches 14 for setting "minutes" are arranged. Further, on the lower side thereof, there is a switch 15 for setting the "hour" of the alarm time when notifying the person to be temperature measured by an alarm of the time to measure the body temperature.
A switch 16 for setting the minute of the alarm time is arranged. Further, there are a left shift switch 17 for shifting the body temperature displayed in the bar graph BS on the graphic display 5 for each week, and a right shift switch 18 for shifting it to the right for each day. Arranged.

The call switch 19 located at the bottom right is
RAM 32 of the microcomputer 31 described later
The temperature measurement data stored on a per-week basis is called out one file at a time starting from the newest file, and each file is displayed as a bar graph on the graphic display 5, thereby putting the file into a "calling state." When you press this call switch 19 once, the temperature measurement data of the file currently in progress is called up and displayed in a bar graph.The left end of this graph is the first day of menstruation, and as you move to the right, the date of each cycle becomes newer. It will be displayed as follows. If you press it again, the temperature data of the previous file will be displayed.

When the memory switch 20 is pressed, the third display 4 in the normal display state
The date displayed is the first day of your most recent menstrual period.
It is registered in the RAM 32, and the graphic display 5 enters the call state. However, if more than 10 days have not passed since the first day of the previous period, it will not be registered as the first day of the new period.

The memory correction switch 21 is
When is pressed, the display date on the third display 4 of the latest first day of menstruation registered by the memory switch 20 starts blinking. At the same time, the display section showing the temperature on the first display 2 and the display section showing the cycle on the second display 3 become blank, and the graphic display 5 also becomes blank. In this state, use the switches 11 and 12 to set the first day of menstruation to the date you want to change while looking at the third display 4, and then turn the memory correction switch 2 again.
When 1 is pressed, the date displayed on the third display 4 stops blinking, and this date is registered as the changed first day of menstruation.

When the check switch 22 is pressed in the call state, the dot at the left end of the graphic display 5 blinks for 5 seconds ± 0.5 seconds at a cycle of 0.4 ± 0.1 seconds, and also displays the temperature, cycle date, and first day of menstruation. Displayed on the first display 2, second display 3, and third display 4. When the dot on the left end of the graphic display 5 finishes blinking, the dot on the right side starts blinking and displays the same as above.

Further, the output interface 35 is provided with a printer connection interface to which a printer 40 for printing out various data input and stored in the microcomputer 31 can be connected.

Next, the means for calculating the birth control period displayed on the graphic display 5 will be explained.

(1) The microcomputer 31 searches for the shortest number of days X from the first day of menstruation to the day of ovulation for each menstrual cycle within the past six months, and (X-5)
(2) The microcomputer 31 searches for the shortest cycle days Y of each menstrual cycle within the past six months, and After calculating (X-19), it is a day that satisfies (X-19) ≦ (today's date). From the day (including the current day) that satisfies either of the two conditions, the ovulation day + 4 days ( (including the current day) is displayed on the dot BC on the graphic display 5 as the birth control period.

Note that the microcomputer 31 is (1) More than seven days have passed since the first day of menstruation.

(2) The body temperature on that day is higher than the standard body temperature ST,
In addition, the patient's body temperature remained at least 0.3°C higher than the minimum body temperature of the current menstrual cycle for 3 days or more, including the day of the event.

If both of these two conditions are met, the four days before will be considered and memorized as the ovulation day. Furthermore, the first day of menstruation is defined as the first day of the current menstrual cycle.

Furthermore, the microcomputer 31 does not display the birth control period display until the first three menstrual cycles, but displays it from the fourth cycle.

As described above, using the women's thermometer with birth control display function 1, not only gynecologists but also the women themselves who have measured their basal body temperature can view the birth control period display on the graphic display 5 and calculate the period including the current day. The required period is within the fertile period,
Alternatively, it is possible to appropriately recognize that the patient is in the contraceptive period.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the fertile period can be clearly displayed as the birth control period on a women's thermometer. By looking at the birth control period display displayed on the body temperature display means, it is possible to appropriately recognize that the required period including the current day is the fertile period or the contraceptive period.
