Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention measures blood pressure, pulse, etc., and electroencephalogram while staying in a toilet or a sleeping capsule that allows a person who sleeps at a different time zone than a normal working person to sleep. Health management system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to automatically check the health condition of a patient who is a toilet user in normal daily life, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-233457 discloses detection of urinary components in a household toilet. A specific component such as a protein dissolved in the urine discharged from the toilet is settled on the surface of the crystal oscillator, and the change in the oscillation frequency of the crystal oscillator caused by this is detected to quantitatively determine the protein etc. It measures and sends this measurement data to medical institutions online.

On the other hand, people with different living hours, for example,
When people who work late into the night or work early in the morning live in the same house or building as ordinary people who work in the daytime and sleep at night, the noise of each other interferes with sleep. Is normal. For this reason, people who sleep during the day should make the interior space dark by closing the shutters in the private room or pulling a thick curtain on the window, and in the summer, sleep while cooling. There is.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention The above-mentioned publications merely detect the measurement data of a specific component in urine in the toilet, and therefore, do not affect the diseases of the circulatory system and the diseases of the brain system. There is a problem in that measurement data such as blood pressure, pulse, and body temperature necessary for early detection of occurrence have not been detected, and measurement data of a sleeping person cannot be obtained.

Further, as described above, people who have different sleeping hours are required to have a quiet environment where they can sleep because the sleeping hours are significantly different from those of ordinary people who work at night and sleep at night. In the midst of 24 hours in urban areas, it is necessary to have a space where everyone can sleep comfortably according to their individual living patterns. Furthermore, when sleeping in a private room in the summer, there is a problem that energy is wasted because the entire room is cooled, and if you fall asleep with cooling, your body temperature will drop and it will be too cold. Therefore, there is a problem of getting sick.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to measure not only proteins and the like in urine but also body temperature, blood pressure, and pulse in the toilet.
A sleep capsule measures the temperature, pulse, and electroencephalogram of a sleeping person to determine whether there is an abnormality.If there is an abnormality in the diagnostic result, the measured data is reported to a medical institution such as an emergency medical center. To provide a management system.

Another object of the present invention is to make it possible to sleep easily in a darkened state without being affected by external noise or external light, and to enter a sleep state. It is intended to provide a health management system equipped with a sleep capsule capable of detecting energy loss and increasing the air conditioning temperature in the capsule to prevent the physical condition from being deteriorated due to excessive cooling, thereby saving energy.

A person sitting on the toilet 2 of the toilet 1 inputs an identification code indicating an individual name with an input device (not shown), and the detection values from the biosensor 4 to the pulse measuring device 7 are converted into digital signals and taken in (step S1). , The measurement data is stored (step S2). Next, the presence or absence of an abnormality is determined by comparing with the diagnostic set value (step S3). When the abnormality is determined, a warning is displayed on the display panel 3 (step S4), while the identification code and the analog signal are displayed. Health management center 1 with the measurement data converted into
0, report to the emergency medical center 11, and at the health management center 10, if necessary, add a comment about the meal and transfer it to the foodstuff distribution center 12 or the lunch center 13 (step S6). The center 13 instructs the preparation of a meal menu corresponding to the diagnosis result,
In addition, the foodstuff distribution center selects the foodstuff corresponding to the diagnosis result and carries out the delivery procedure.

In the sleep capsule 20, a person sleeping on the bed body 21 closes the door 29, inputs an individual name by an input device (not shown), operates the control panel 26, and sets the wake-up time on the liquid crystal clock 31. The display is set, and a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal shutter 30 to disable the internal lighting, and the temperature of the sleep pillow 25 is set to a predetermined temperature to execute temperature control. Air conditioning temperature set value -1 and Air conditioning temperature set value during sleep −
In addition to setting 2 and activating the air conditioner 32, the sedative gas generator 34 and the hypnotic music generator 33 are activated to blow out the sedative gas from the sedative gas outlet 23, and a 1 / f fluctuation sound, etc. Is emitted from the speaker 24 (step S7). Then, the data processing apparatus 101 takes in the measured values of the body temperature during sleep, the brain waves, and the pulse (step S8), and the processing of the measured values is performed according to the above-described steps S2 to S6, as described above. . When a person sleeping in the sleeping capsule 20 gets up, whether or not a warning is displayed on the display panel 3 in the toilet 1 is visually confirmed.

Then, the detected value from the electroencephalogram measuring device 35,
Compare with the REM sleep EEG waveform setting value (step S9),
When the REM sleep state is detected, the air conditioning temperature set value -1 is switched to the relatively high air conditioning temperature set value-2 which matches the temperature during REM sleep, and the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 38 is the temperature set value- The air conditioning temperature is gradually increased to 2 (step S10), and the hypnotic music generator 33 is generated.
Then, the driving of the sedative gas generator 34 is stopped (step S11). As a result, the power of the hypnotic music generator 33 is cut off to stop the sounding operation, the on-off valve of the sedative gas generator 34 is closed, and the blowing of the sleep gas is stopped.

Although an example in which the measurement data indicating an abnormality is reported to the health management center has been described, the daily measurement data is daily reported to the health management center 10 even when no abnormality is reported. It can be configured as well.
