a personal identification unit configured to determine whether a user wearing the biological information measurement device is a pre-registered person in synchronization with each of the plurality of timings, based on the identification information; an identification result information generation unit configured to generate identification result information indicative of a relationship between a first number of times that the request is made by the information input request unit and a second number of times that the user is determined to be the pre-registered person by the personal identification unit; and a correctness determination unit configured to determine correctness of the biological information on the basis of the identification result information. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A biological information measurement device configured to continuously measure biological information from a living body with being worn on the living body, the biological information measurement device comprising: a storage control unit configured to perform storage control of the measured biological information in a storage medium; an input unit for inputting identification information necessary for personal identification; an information input request unit configured to request an input of the identification information by the input unit at each of a plurality of timings after measurement of the biological information is started; a personal identification unit configured to determine whether a user wearing the biological information measurement device is a pre-registered person in synchronization with each of the plurality of timings, based on the identification information input by the input unit; an identification result information generation unit configured to generate identification result information indicative of a relationship between a first number of times that the request is made by the information input request unit and a second number of times that the user is determined to be the pre-registered person by the personal identification unit; and a correctness determination unit configured to determine correctness of the biological information stored in the storage medium on the basis of the identification result information. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, wherein the identification result information is a ratio of the second number of times to the first number of times, and when the ratio exceeds a threshold value, the correctness determination unit determines that the biological information stored in the storage medium is correct, and when the ratio is equal to or smaller than the threshold value, the correctness determination unit determines that the biological information stored in the storage medium is incorrect. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, wherein the identification result information is a ratio of a third number of times, which is obtained by subtracting the second number of times from the first number of times, to the first number of times, and when the ratio is smaller than a threshold value, the correctness determination unit determines that the biological information stored in the storage medium is correct, and when the ratio is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the correctness determination unit determines that the biological information stored in the storage medium is incorrect. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The biological information measurement device according to claim 2, wherein the threshold value is selected and used from a plurality of values. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The biological information measurement device according to claim 3, wherein the threshold value is selected and used from a plurality of values. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, wherein the identification result information generation unit generates the identification result information when an instruction to end the measurement of the biological information is issued, and the correctness determination unit determines the correctness of the biological information stored in the storage medium after the measurement of the biological information is started until the instruction is issued, based on the identification result information. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, wherein the identification result information generation unit generates the identification result information at preset time, and the correctness determination unit determines the correctness of the biological information, for which the correctness determination has not been completed, of the biological information stored in the storage medium after the measurement of the biological information is started until the preset time, based on the identification result information. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, wherein the information input request unit requests the input of the identification information at a random timing. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, wherein the information input request unit requests the input of the identification information at a timing at which the measured biological information exceeds a threshold value, at a timing based on a signal received from an external apparatus or at a timing at which an amount of change of the measured biological information exceeds a threshold value. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, wherein the information input request unit requests the input of the identification information at a timing at which environment information around the biological information measurement device changes or at a timing at which motion of the user wearing the biological information measurement device stops. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, further comprising a sleeping determination unit configured to determine whether the user wearing the biological information measurement device is sleeping, wherein the information input request unit does not request the input of the identification information while the user is sleeping. ### Claim 12 A method for determining correctness of biological information stored in a storage medium by a biological information measurement device configured to continuously measure the biological information from a living body with being worn on the living body, the method comprising: requesting an input of identification information by an input unit provided in the biological information measurement device for inputting the identification information necessary for personal identification, at each of a plurality of timings after measurement of the biological information is started by the biological information measurement device; determining whether a user wearing the biological information measurement device is a pre-registered person in synchronization with each of the plurality of timings, based on the identification information input by the input unit; generating identification result information indicative of a relationship between a first number of times that the request is made and a second number of times that the user is determined to be the pre-registered person; and determining correctness of the biological information stored in the storage medium on the basis of the identification result information. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) A non-transitory computer readable medium in which a program causing a computer to execute the method according to claim 12 is recorded.
