Abstract
A biological information measurement apparatus includes a sensor unit, a processing unit which detects first biological information and second biological information based on sensor information obtained from the sensor unit, a communication unit which transmits the first biological information and the second biological information to an information processing apparatus, and a storage unit which stores the second biological information. The communication unit transmits the first biological information in a first communication cycle and transmits the second biological information stored in the storage unit in a second communication cycle longer than the first communication cycle.
Claims9
A biological information measurement apparatus comprising:
- a sensor unit having a plurality of sensors to detect biological information;
- a processing unit which obtains a first type of biological information and a second type of biological information based on sensor information from the sensor unit;
- a communication unit which transmits the first type of biological information and the type of second biological information to an information processing apparatus;
- and
- a storage unit which stores the second type of biological information,
- wherein the communication unit transmits the first type of biological information, including at least one of pulse rate, step count, and calorie consumption, at a first periodic time interval to the information processing apparatus, and transmits the second type of biological information, including at least sleep information, stored in the storage unit at a second periodic time interval longer than the first periodic time interval to the information processing apparatus, wherein the second type of biological information is transmitted less frequently and at a higher data rate than the first type of biological information, and
- wherein the communication unit divides data of the second type of biological information into a plurality of blocks each having a plurality of packets, and for each of the plurality of blocks:
- transmits the plurality of packets of the corresponding block with a first characteristic having a property of read with no acknowledge by proximity wireless communication such that the plurality of packets are transmitted without waiting for acknowledgement from the information processing apparatus;
- and
- after transmission of the plurality of packets in the corresponding block, receives the reception result of that block from the information processing apparatus with a second characteristic having a property of write with acknowledge.
