Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a small information device having sensors for temperature, humidity, pressure, brightness, pulse, etc.

Conventional devices of this type include wristwatches with sensors, but they only display the data from the sensor as is, but do not have functions such as storing sampling data at a certain time and displaying it later. However, even if they were stored, the data could only be stored once in conjunction with an alarm.

For this reason, although it was equipped with sensors, etc., and also had timekeeping means, it was not practical.

In order to eliminate such drawbacks, the present invention makes it possible to store sampled data in a small information device and transfer the data to another information device, and to process the data in the other information device. This will be described in detail below using the drawings.

In the present invention, there is provided a sampling control means for controlling the sampling cycle of input from the sensor, a means for storing the obtained data, and an output interface for outputting the stored data to other information equipment. By using the means and the interface means for inputting sampling control data from the outside, it is possible to output any sampling data at any timing to any information device.

FIG. 1 shows an example of measurement using a conventional sensor.

1 to 5 are sensors, and 6 is an information device for data processing. For example, if numbers 1 to 5 are thermometers in a large plastic greenhouse, the user can either check the indication data of each thermometer at a certain time and enter it into 6, or input all numbers 1 to 5. It was necessary to connect directly to 6, and there were various problems such as the length of the cable. FIG. 2 shows an example of measurement using a small-sized information device according to the present invention, where 11 to 15 are small-sized information devices according to the present invention, and 16 is an information device. 11-1
5 is set in advance with a data sampling period or time such as temperature, etc., and is installed at an arbitrary location. At this time, the compact information device according to the present invention is much smaller than a conventional thermometer, is resistant to drops, etc., and has a waterproof structure, so it can be installed underwater or underground for a certain period of time. Furthermore, it is also possible to store the highest and lowest values for sampling control. After a certain period of data sampling, 11
~15 are collected, each connected to 16, and the stored data is transferred to 16. At this time, 1
6 may be a printer and only print out the data 11 to 15, or 16 may be an information device having a printer, a floppy disk, and a display device.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a small information device of the present invention, in which numeral 21 is sensors, 22 is sampling control means, 23 is data storage means, 24 is reference signal generation means, 25 is control means, 26 is display means, 27 is a key input means, 28 is an output interface, 2
9 is an input interface.

First, the data sampling condition is set to 22 by input from 27. As for its control,
Periodic sampling, sampling at a certain time, sampling at the highest, lowest, etc. are possible. Under the control of 22, sampling data from 21 (21 may be plural) is stored in 23. 24 generates a reference signal which is the basis of sampling. 25 is the sampling data 26
It can be displayed on the screen and controlled by input from 27.
The sampling conditions 22 can also be set from other information devices through 29.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a system using a small information device according to the present invention, where 31 is a small information device with a heart rate sensor, and 32 is a data processing device. At 31, the user's heartbeat data is sampled and stored at certain intervals. The data of 31 is transferred to 32, and the user's average heart rate etc. are processed, making it possible to manage the user's health.Also, by transferring the alarm value from 32 to 31 and changing the sampling conditions, It is possible to warn of an excessive increase in the number of required beats due to temperature caused by rapid exercise.

As described above, according to the present invention, a compact information device that can withstand practical use is realized, and the data can be used effectively, so the effects are very large.
