Biological information measurement device and method for controlling biological information measurement device

A method for controlling a biological information measurement device that comprises:

• a main body case having a sensor insertion opening into which a biological information measurement sensor is inserted;
• a connector that is provided on an inside of the sensor insertion opening inside the main body case, and is electrically connected to the biological information measurement sensor inserted into the sensor insertion opening;
• a measurement component electrically connected to the connector;
• a cover that is provided to a surface of the main body case and openably and closeably covers the sensor insertion opening;
• and
• an external temperature measurement component that is provided on the surface of the main body case and is openably and closeably covered by the cover after use, is blocked off from outside air by the closure of the cover, and is exposed to the outside air by the opening of the cover during measurement with the measurement component, and measures temperature of air outside the main body case,
• wherein the external temperature measurement component is provided on a surface different from a surface of the main body case provided with the sensor insertion opening and is provided between the cover and the sensor insertion opening on the surface of the main body case, and
• the cover opens and closes the sensor insertion opening and the external temperature measurement component simultaneously,
• said method comprising:
• a determination step of determining whether or not the temperature sensed by the external temperature measurement component is changing, prior to measurement with the measurement component;
• and
• a setting step of imposing a measurement-impossible period in which measurement with the measurement component is impossible, when it has been determined that the sensed temperature is changing.
