Abstract
The Present invention is a measuring system including a measuring device 10 that is attached to a living body, the measuring device 10 being configured to store information about an amount of electric power generated using sugars in a body fluid or bodily secretion of a living body, and a container device 15 for storing the measuring device 10, the container device 15 receiving the information about the amount of electric power generated, which is stored in the measuring device 10, using a near-field wireless communication method when the measuring device 10 is stored in the container device 15.
Claims15
A measuring system comprising:
- a measuring device that is attached to a living body, the measuring device being configured to store information about an amount of electric power generated using sugars in a body fluid or bodily secretion of a living body;
- and
- a container device for storing the measuring device, the container device receiving the information about the amount of electric power generated, which is stored in the measuring device, using a near-field wireless communication method when the measuring device is stored in the container device.
A measuring device to be attached to a living body, comprising:
- a power generation unit that generates electric power using sugars in a body fluid or bodily secretion of the living body;
- a storage unit that stores information about a power generation amount of the power generation unit;
- and
- a transmission unit that transmits the information about the power generation amount stored in the storage unit to a container device using a near-field wireless communication method when the measuring device is stored in the container device.
A container device comprising:
- a container unit for storing a measuring device to be attached to a living body, the measuring device storing information about an amount of electric power generated using sugars in a body fluid or bodily secretion of the living body;
- and
- a reception unit that receives the information about the amount of electric power generated, which is stored in the measuring device, using a near-field wireless communication method when the measuring device is stored in the container unit.
A measuring device comprising:
- a power generation unit that generates an electromotive force through a reaction of biomolecules;
- a first oscillator that uses the electromotive force as a power-supply voltage and generates a first oscillation signal of which a period varies in response to a variation in the electromotive force;
- a second oscillator that uses the electromotive force as a power-supply voltage and generates a second oscillation signal of which a variation in period with respect to a variation in the electromotive force is smaller than that of the first oscillator, and
- a timing circuit that uses the electromotive force as a power-supply voltage and generates a first timing and a second timing according to the second oscillation signal;
- and
- a counter circuit that uses the electromotive force as a power-supply voltage and counts the number of pulses of the first oscillation signal between the first timing and the second timing.
A measuring device to be attached to a living body, comprising:
- a power generation unit that generates a first electromotive force using sugars in a body fluid or bodily secretion of the living body;
- a conversion circuit that uses the first electromotive force as a power-supply voltage and converts the first electromotive force into a digital signal;
- a transmission circuit that transmits information about the digital signal using a wireless communication method;
- and
- a power supply that supplies electric power to the transmission circuit without supplying electric power to the conversion circuit.
A measuring device comprising:
- a power generation unit that generates an electromotive force through a reaction of biomolecules;
- an oscillator that uses the electromotive force as a power-supply voltage and generates an oscillation signal;
- a voltage-time conversion circuit that uses the electromotive force as a power-supply voltage and converts a magnitude of the electromotive force into a period;
