## Abstract

A biological information measurement device including: a sensor that measures biological information, a storage means that stores the biological information measured by the sensor, a communication means for communicating with another information processing terminal, and a control means that executes a measurement process of the biological information, wherein when the control means executes the measurement process of the biological information, in a case where communication between the biological information measurement device and the other information processing terminal is not established, the control means continuously executes a process for establishing a communication connection with the information processing terminal and executes a process of storing, in the storage means, the biological information that is measured, and in a case where the communication between the biological information measurement device and the other information processing terminal is established.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A biological information measurement device comprising:
a sensor capable of measuring biological information;
a storage means that stores at least the biological information measured by the sensor;
a communication means for communicating with another information processing terminal; and
a control means that executes a measurement process of the biological information, wherein
when the control means executes the measurement process of the biological information,
in a case where communication between the biological information measurement device and the other information processing terminal is not established, the control means continuously executes a process for establishing a communication connection with the information processing terminal and executes a process of sequentially storing, in the storage means, the biological information that is measured, and
in a case where the communication between the biological information measurement device and the other information processing terminal is established, the control means executes at least a process of transmitting, to the information processing terminal, status information that is information indicating a status of the measurement process of the biological information.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, further comprising:
a time measurement means that measures at least a time until an end of measurement during execution of the measurement process of the biological information, wherein
the status information transmitted to the other information processing terminal before the end of the measurement of the biological information comprises the time until the end of the measurement of the biological information measured by the time measurement means.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The biological information measurement device according to claim 1, further comprising:
an analysis means that analyzes the biological information measured by the sensor, wherein
