Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a body temperature storage device that measures and stores human body temperature, and in particular measures a woman's basal body temperature to determine whether or not she is fertile. This invention relates to a body temperature storage device for determining and predicting body temperature.

(b) Prior Art Conventionally, the basal body temperature method has been used to determine whether a woman is fertile. This method of basal body temperature is cumbersome because each measurement must be recorded on a graph, and in order to calculate the next fertile period, predictions must be made from the graph. Also, when doctors judge women's diseases,
The basal body temperature method was used, but in that case, the possibility of misreading of the patient's thermometer had to be taken into account.

(C) Purpose The purpose of the present invention is to provide a body temperature storage device that solves the above-mentioned technical problems, easily records and displays basal body temperature, and can judge and predict the fertile state at a glance. do.

(D) Configuration The present invention provides a calendar clock that performs a calendar operation, a thermometer that measures a human body temperature and creates a digital signal corresponding to the body temperature, a memory that stores data of the thermometer, and a memory that stores data of the thermometer. and a processing circuit that determines and predicts whether pregnancy is possible based on the data of Mr. Ogino's method, and displays the output of the calendar clock, the output of the thermometer, and the expected basal body temperature and expected fertile date that are processing information of the processing circuit. This is a body temperature storage device characterized by including a display means for displaying a temperature.

(E) Embodiment FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. The calendar clock 4 outputs digital signals indicating the calendar operation, that is, the year, month, day, and time.
Give to CPU (Central Processing Unit) 1. The ROM (read only memory) 3 stores data of Mr. Ogino, programs for operating the CPU 1, and the like. A RAM (random access memory) 2 stores data from the thermometer 6 and data from the calendar clock 4. The display 5 displays data from the CPU 1, data from the thermometer 6, and date and time from the calendar clock 4.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the operation panel of the body temperature storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, a display section 15 and a display section 12 correspond to the display 5 shown in FIG. The display unit 15 displays a calendar, that is, the year, month, day, and time. The display unit 12 is a dot display that displays body temperature in a graph with month and day on the horizontal axis and body temperature on the vertical axis. Changeover switch 16
is a switch that is switched to display a calendar or alarm time on the display unit 15. The switch 13 is a switch that turns on/off the display on the display section 12. The piezoelectric buzzer 14 generates an alarm sound and an operation confirmation sound. The switch button A is used to adjust the calendar clock on the display section 15 and the date on the display 12.

Since basal body temperature is measured in a resting state upon waking up in the morning, the calendar clock 4 has the function of an alarm clock.

Switch button B is for adjusting the wake-up time. The switch buttons E and F are operated when reading the contents of the RAM 2 shown in FIG. and displays a basal body temperature graph on the display unit 12.

The switch E is used to display the date backwards, and the switch F is used to display the date forwardly on the display sections 15 and 12.

The thermometer 6 includes a sensor 20, a thermometer 18, a switch button C, a switch button D, and a lead wire 19 as shown in FIG. This thermometer 6 measures the temperature with a sensor 20 and outputs a digital signal to the lead wire 1.
Transmit to 9. Switch button D is operated when starting the operation of the device and writing data to RAM2, and switch button C is operated.
If you operate this with the alarm confirmation switch, the alarm buzzer will stop.

Figure 3 is a graph showing changes in a woman's basal body temperature over a period of approximately 90 days.

Basal body temperature rises when ovulation occurs and falls when menstruation begins. Basal body temperature differs from person to person, but for example, if 36.7°C is the standard, the higher one is called the high temperature phase, and the lower one is called the low temperature phase, and in the case of a normal woman, the biphasic cycle repeats. Eggs and sperm have a survival period, so conception is possible before and after the day of ovulation.

As you can see from this graph, this woman's menstrual cycle is approximately 30 days.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the display section 12. The display unit 12 is a dot display, and displays the basal body temperature in a graph over the course of the day. Fourth
The figure shows changes in a woman's basal body temperature over a 90-day period.

On the left, for 60 days, the basal body temperature obtained through actual measurements is displayed day by day. For the 30 days on the right, the predicted basal body temperature is displayed as processing information in the processing circuit based on the actual measured basal body temperature data for 60 days and before on the left. The predicted basal body temperature is displayed by the predicted basal body temperature indicator H on the display unit 12. The fertile date and predicted fertile date, which are processed information based on the basal body temperature data and the data of Mr. Ogino in the ROM 3, are displayed as the fertile indicator J on the display unit 12. The date displayed on the display unit 15 is displayed as a display date K on the display 12.

The operation of this apparatus will now be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

In FIG. 5, the device operates and moves from step m1 to m2. In step m2, while pressing button switch A shown in FIG. 2, the year, month, day, and time are set on the display section 15. In step m3, the changeover switch 16 is set to the ALA side, that is, the alarm time is displayed on the display section 15. In step m4, switch button B is pressed to set the alarm time. In step m5, the changeover switch 16 is set to the CLOCK side, that is, so that the display section 15 can display the calendar. In step m6, when the set wake-up time arrives the next morning, the piezoelectric buzzer 14 generates a buzzing sound to wake up the person. In step m7, the buzzer sound is stopped by pressing switch button C.

Next, in step m8, the sensor 20 of the thermometer 6 is inserted into the oral cavity and the switch button D is pressed to start temperature measurement. Approximately one minute after temperature measurement starts in step m9, a buzzer sound indicating the completion of temperature measurement is generated from the piezoelectric buzzer 14. Moving to step m10, switch button D is pressed and the measured body temperature value and the calendar contents at that time are simultaneously stored in RAM 2.
to be memorized. Also, the temperature measurement buzzer in step 9 stops. The body temperature at this time is step m11
is displayed on the display section 12. For example, the display 12 in FIG. 4 can display basal body temperature for 90 days. In this way, the graphical basal body temperature is displayed on the dot display each day.

Next, in step m12, the switch 13 is set to the off side, and the body temperature display displayed on the display section 12 is turned off.

In step m13, the person determines whether or not to display the past calendar and body temperature, and if the past calendar and body temperature are to be displayed, the process moves to step m14. In step m14, the switch 13 is set to the on side. In step 15, the data contents are displayed on the display section 15 and the display section 12. The display contents of the display section 15 and the display section 12 at that time show the past date, time, and the corresponding basal body temperature. In this way, a graph of basal body temperature can be created on the display 12 without plotting past calendar contents and corresponding basal body temperatures on graph paper.

On the other hand, in step m13, if it is determined whether or not conception is possible based on the data of past calendar contents and the corresponding basal body temperature, step m2
Move to 1. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the body temperature measured in step m21 is the average basal body temperature.
Determine whether it is higher or lower than 36.7 degrees. Since the average basal body temperature differs from person to person, it is calculated from the average value of basal body temperature data. In step m22, the period of the graph shown in FIG. 3 is determined by the operation in step m21. In step m23, the schedule for the next cycle is calculated. For example, if the first cycle is March 31st, the second cycle is April 30th.
Calculate it to be days. In step m24, the months and days when the high temperature phase and low temperature phase will occur are predicted. The high temperature phase refers to the part where the body temperature is higher than 36.7 degrees, and the low temperature phase refers to the part where the body temperature is lower than 36.7 degrees. In step m25, it is determined whether conception is possible or not, and if conception is possible, the fertilization possibility indicator J on the display section 12 is displayed.

In this way, determining whether or not it is possible to conceive is
Data based on Mr. Ogino's method is stored in the ROM 3 in advance, and judgments are made based on that data.

Next, in m26, if past and future basal body temperatures are not to be displayed, the process moves to step m27.

If it is to be displayed, the process moves to step m31. In step m31, when the switch 13 is set to the on side, the basal body temperature is displayed on the display 12.

If the past is to be displayed in step m32, the process moves to step m33. In step m33,
When the switch button E in FIG. 2 is pressed, the date and past data of the display section 15 and display section 12 of the calendar clock 4 and basal body temperature are displayed. The display can be changed while pressing the switch button E to center the display on the desired date.

In addition, if you want to see the predicted future basal body temperature and fertile date, proceed from step m35 to step m3.
Move on to 6.

When the switch button F in FIG. 2 is pressed, the date and basal body temperature on the display section 15 and the display section 12 of the calendar clock 4 are displayed as the expected future basal body temperature. This is to display the expected basal body temperature on the display section 12 as processed information from steps m21 to m25.

An expected basal body temperature indicator H is displayed for the expected basal body temperature, and a fertile possible indicator J is displayed for the fertile day.

If the display is not necessary, the switch 13 is set to the off side in step m37, and the body temperature display displayed on the display section 12 is turned off.

(f) Effects According to the present invention, the basal body temperature is automatically displayed in a graph to confirm the fertile days and non-fertile days, pregnancy confirmation, and diseases specific to women, so that they can be detected early. It is also very useful as a reference material for doctors' decisions.

Note that by using the display section 12 of the present invention, it can also be used as a biorhythm display device. Also,
It can be used not only as a women's thermometer, but also as a health care instrument for general patients, infants, etc.

On the other hand, by outputting the accumulated data, it can be used as a hard copy via a printer or used as input to a computer, which can assist in medical analysis.
