Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Industrial Application Field The present invention measures the human basal body temperature, stores the measured temperature in a memory every day, and memorizes the start date of menstruation. The present invention relates to an electronic recording thermometer device used for managing the health condition of people.

(b) Conventional technology The basal body temperature method and the Ogino method have been known as methods for managing women's health conditions.
The basal body temperature method records the basal body temperature measured every day and uses this data to determine the state of health, while the Ogino method memorizes the day when menstruation begins and calculates the menstrual cycle from this. Based on this information, you can know your current health condition. In these methods, it is necessary to record past data, but it is troublesome to record it every day, and errors due to transcription are likely to occur.

Therefore, in recent years, electronic recording thermometer devices have been developed that store these data in a memory and display them graphically as needed.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention The basal body temperature mentioned above is based on the beginning of menstruation.
Based on this, it is possible to know the physical condition by checking changes in basal body temperature until the next menstrual period, but when displaying a graph on an electronic recording thermometer device, it is necessary to clarify the start date of menstruation. Therefore, when displaying a graph, the graph display screen is fixed so that the body temperature on the first day of menstruation is displayed on the left edge, and based on that, the body temperature is displayed in a graph sequentially to the right as time passes. The graph display is easy to see. In order to do this, the user of the thermometer needs to perform an operation to update the month in the graph display on the first day of menstruation. However, if the user forgets to perform the update operation on this graph display and displays a graph that is updated later than the start date of menstruation, the left end of the graph will not be the true start date of menstruation. If you judge your physical condition based on the graph, you will make an error in your judgment.

Therefore, the present invention allows the graph display to be updated retroactively to the day of menstruation even if the user forgets to update the month.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems The electronic recording thermometer device of the present invention includes a thermometer for measuring a person's body temperature, a memory for storing temperature data of the thermometer, and a graph displaying the temperature data stored in the memory. In the electronic recording thermometer device, the display means for displaying a graph includes means for displaying temperature data stored at a predetermined address in the memory at a predetermined position in the graph, a flash horizontal address counter that can be increased or decreased to indicate an address corresponding to the start date; means for setting temperature data at the address indicated by the flash horizontal address counter as temperature data at the predetermined address; The device includes a flash control circuit for flashing an address indicated by a horizontal address counter, and the start date of menstruation can be corrected by increasing or decreasing the flash horizontal address counter.

(e) Effects Figure 1A is an example of a graph displaying body temperature, where the vertical axis is temperature and the horizontal axis is time, which normally moves to the right by one scale per day. The eight scales on the vertical axis are fixed to the average body temperature. The horizontal line at the 8th scale is the 36.7℃ line, and in this example, the average body temperature is 36.7
Indicates that the temperature is ℃. Since each scale on the vertical axis is 0.1°C, the temperature in each graph can be easily read from the graph. In addition, for the 36.7℃ line, the points that intersect with the bar graph are turned off, and the points that do not intersect are lit, making it easier to see.

FIG. 1B shows the state in which the update mode is entered to update the month. The flashing of the bottom row on the far right of the graph indicates that there is a menstrual period on the 30th day and that the basal body temperature of the next month is updated in the display here. Further, if the graph is left as it is and a certain period of time has elapsed, an updating operation is performed and the graph for the next month is displayed as shown in FIG. 1C.

(f) Examples The present invention will be explained in detail below based on examples.

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the electronic recording thermometer device of the present invention. In the figure, the body temperature measurement circuit, the control circuit that generates various control signals, the average body temperature calculation circuit, the temperature data memory, the write address control circuit to temperature memory, the read address control circuit from temperature memory, and clock circuit,
is an operation switch, is a graph display control circuit that converts the temperature in the temperature data memory into a graph, is a display memory write control circuit that writes data to display RAM as a digital display of body temperature, a digital display of a clock, a graph display, etc., is 36.7 ℃ line write control circuit, is display RAM, is display driver,
is the display device, is the flash control circuit for flashing the bottom row during updating, is the horizontal position address that instructs the flash control circuit,
is a circuit that stores the flash address corresponding to the rightmost part of the graph.

Next, the operation of this will be explained. Body temperature is measured by the body temperature measurement circuit, and the body temperature data is stored in the display RAM through the display memory write control circuit.
written on and displayed digitally. When the temperature measurement is completed, the temperature data is stored in the temperature data memory at the address specified by the write control address circuit. At the same time, the body temperature data is sent to the average body temperature calculation circuit, which calculates and stores the average body temperature. When the date is updated by the clock circuit of
The write address is updated by one by the operation of the control circuit. The basal body temperature measured every day for 350 days is stored one after another in the display memory. When the GRAPH operation switch is turned on, the address of the read address control circuit is set to the address where the temperature data corresponding to the left end of the graph is stored, the corresponding temperature data is called, and the graph is displayed. Input the called temperature into the control circuit. The graph display control circuit converts the data into the length of the bar graph.
The display memory write control circuit writes the length of the bar graph obtained in , to a predetermined address in the display memory. The 36.7°C line write control circuit processes so that when the 36.7°C lines of the bar graph intersect, the light is turned off, and when they do not intersect, the light is turned on. The data stored in the display memory (RAM) of is displayed on the display device of E by the display driver of E. When the graph display for one day is finished, set the temperature data read address control circuit address to 1.
The graph will be displayed by updating the current month and repeating the same operation until this month's graph display is finished.
(Status in Figure 1 A) SEL of the operation switch to perform the next update
When the switch is turned ON, the control circuit of will store the rightmost address of the bar graph, which corresponds to the 30th position in the example of Figure 1 A, in the first flash horizontal address memory of , and at the same time the flash of Preset to horizontal address. Then, the bottom row of the graph corresponding to the address is flashed by the flash control circuit 21 (the state shown in FIG. 1B). After a certain period of time has passed in this state, the temperature data memory address update process is performed by the operation of the control circuit, and the address corresponding to the temperature data memory of the address that has been flashed is preset in the read address control circuit. The graph is displayed by entering the graph display operation described above. If you want to cancel the update, turn on the SEL switch, and the control circuit sends a flash interrupt signal to the flash control circuit 21, stopping the flash.

Here, an example will be explained in which the start of menstruation is on the 29th day and you have forgotten to update it. As described above, after turning on the GRAPH switch, displaying the graph, and setting the SEL switch to flash the 30th day, when the ADJ switch is turned on, the control circuit outputs a signal to update the flash horizontal address. As a result, the flash horizontal address of 〓 is incremented by -1, and as a result, the flash position moves to the 29th day. After a certain period of time in this state,
The control circuit updates the address of the temperature data memory, and the address corresponding to the flash address (29th day) in the temperature data memory becomes the beginning of the next month, and the graph of the new month is displayed. .

On the update day, each time you turn on the previous ADJ switch, the flash address moves to the left by one day.
The address stored in the first flash horizontal address memory is loaded into the flash horizontal address of the next flash horizontal address by the action of the control circuit of the next one that is at the leftmost end, and the state returns to the initial state. Therefore,
Even if you forget the update operation, you can go back to the correct date and update later, so the left end of the graph can always be set to the start date of menstruation.

(G) Effects of the Invention With the configuration of the present application as described above, even if you forget to update the graph, it is possible to update it later to the correct date, so that the left end of the graph is set to the start date of menstruation. This allows you to make more accurate decisions when judging your physical condition by looking at the graph.
