The data transmitting unit 7 is characterized in that it transmits the biometric information data (pulse) detected by the biometric information detecting unit (pulse sensor 6) to an external device (the computing device 20).

According to the above configuration, biometric information data can be detected using the aerosol supply device 1, and by transmitting the biometric information data to an external device, evaluation of health status based on biometric information data, which is difficult to evaluate due to individual differences, is can be done easily.

More specifically, the aerosol supply device 1 is often used when the body is in a stable state, such as at rest, and has a high portability and a high frequency of use. , biometric data can be acquired continuously and stably.

Thereby, since data with high reliability indicating the normal state of the user can be acquired, when an abnormality occurs in the health condition of the user, it contributes to the early detection of the abnormality.

The "biometric information data" includes data such as heartbeat, sweating amount, sweating component, blood flow, vascular resistance, dissolved oxygen concentration in blood, and blood sugar level, in addition to the pulse, as will be described later.

In addition to the data for which no calculation has been performed for "biometric information data" and "pressure data related to pressure" to be described later, data obtained by cutting noise by a filtering device (not shown), and an average value for every predetermined time It may be data about

The "biometric information detection unit" includes, in addition to the pulse sensor 6, a heartbeat sensor, an electrode for measuring the amount of sweating, and irradiating light to detect blood components based on the amount of light absorbed in the blood.

<Configuration of each part>

Next, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the structure of each part of the arithmetic apparatus 20 which comprises the aerosol supply device 1 and the personal health state evaluation system S is demonstrated.

The aerosol supply device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a generating unit 2 that generates an aerosol 3 , a case body 5 covering the generating unit 2 , and a mouthpiece 5X that the user bites into his or her mouth. ) and a pulse sensor 6 mounted on the side of the case body 5 to detect a user's pulse.

The generating unit 2 includes, for example, a power supply not shown, a spray core component, and a liquid storage unit. As another configuration, the production unit 2 may include tobacco leaves or powder containing nicotine.

As the spray core component, a known component having a mechanism capable of generating the aerosol 3 from the liquid storage unit is applicable.

For example, the spray core may have an electric heater (not shown), and may have the component which generates the aerosol 3 by another mechanism.

The liquid contained in the liquid storage part, ie, an aerosol gas, may have any component and can be appropriately set by those skilled in the art, but preferably contains a fragrance component. In addition, the aerosol gas may contain nicotine or a nicotine salt. Moreover, components, such as a vitamin, and caffeine, GABA, and other active ingredients may be included.

In the case body 5 according to the present embodiment, two light emitting elements 5b partially exposed to the outside are incorporated. The light emitting element 5b functions to notify, for example, the electric capacity of the built-in battery, and functions as a notification unit indicating the health condition of the user, as will be described later. The light emitting element 5b is, for example, a light source such as an LED or an electric lamp, and is provided in such a way that the light at the time of light emission can be visually recognized by a user.

The biometric information data according to the present embodiment is a pulse.

Since the data is a pulse, the detection is easy, and it is easy to infer the user's health condition including the stress state related to the sympathetic nerve and the parasympathetic nerve, and it is easy to transmit it as data.

And the installation position of the pulse sensor 6 for detecting the pulse is when the aerosol supply device 1 is used to inhale the aerosol 3, the aerosol supply device 1 is held with the fingertip, the fingertip It is suitable if it is set so that it may be applied to this pulse sensor 6 . Specifically, it is preferable to be disposed close to the mouthpiece 5X side from the longitudinal center of the case body 5 .

With this configuration, it becomes possible to measure the pulse without unreasonableness when using the aerosol supply device 1, and simple and stable measurement becomes possible. In addition, the stress recovery by the use of the aerosol supply device 1 can be confirmed with a parameter called pulse.

The biometric information data is data derived from a living body and may be measured invasively, but data that can be measured (obtained) non-invasively is suitable because it does not burden the user. In this way, it becomes easy to detect and transmit non-invasive data in the user's normal state.

For example, the biometric information data includes one or more types selected from the group consisting of heart rate, pulse, sweating (perspiration amount or sweat component), blood flow volume, vascular resistance, blood pressure, or blood component (dissolved oxygen concentration or blood sugar level in blood, etc.) It may be data.

Since the biometric information data is one or more types of data selected from the group consisting of heartbeat, pulse, sweat, blood pressure, and blood components, the user's health status can be appropriately determined.

As a device capable of measuring the pulse non-invasively using biometric data, for example, a pulse sensor 6 using a photo-interrupter that emits/receives infrared rays or the like is suitable.

In addition, an electrode for measuring the amount of sweat (not shown) may be used to detect the biometric information data related to sweating. The electrode outputs a response value corresponding to the skin conductance based on the resistance value when a weak current for measuring the amount of sweat is passed through the skin of the user's finger.

In addition, what is necessary is just a pulse oximeter etc. which detect the oxygen saturation level of blood as biometric information data.

The aerosol supply device 1 comprises a data transmission unit 7 for storing and/or analyzing the biometric data and transmitting the data to the computing device 20 for determining the health state of the user. The data transmission unit 7 may be either a wired or wireless communication device.

According to the calculation device 20, the user's stress level is evaluated from the biometric information data (pulse value) transmitted from the data transmission unit 7, and the type of aerosol gas corresponding to the value or the aerosol supply device 1 A suction method or the like can be presented on a display 24 such as a smartphone as the computing device 20 . Thereby, the user can efficiently restore|restore stress by using the aerosol supply device 1 effectively.

As for the analysis of the biometric data by the analyzing unit 23, a person skilled in the art can appropriately set the biometric data according to the type of biometric data.

For example, by accumulating and analyzing the personal biometric information data, it is possible to obtain the data of the individual's normal state. By using the thus-obtained normal state data as a reference, for example, when data significantly different (significantly different) from the normal state is acquired, it is assumed that there is an abnormality. Evaluate the likelihood of a condition.

For example, in the case of a pulse, analysis can be performed from the number of pulses per minute, pulse width, noise (aperiodic fluctuation), and the like.

Further, the R-R interval variation (heart rate interval variation) obtained from the pulse can be divided into periodic variation and aperiodic variation. It is known that atrial fibrillation can be detected by detecting pulse disturbance by heart rate fluctuation analysis and clustering them.

For example, when a pulse rate of 70 to 90 beats per minute is a normal state, and in an individual having a regular cycle, a sudden drop to about 50 beats or a significant increase in aperiodic fluctuation is measured, the normal state and The possibility of disease can be evaluated by comparing the significant difference or the degree of irregularity of the pulsation.

In addition, the analysis by the analysis part 23 can be used for evaluation of a psychological state.

For example, it is known that the value of LF/HF is generally called a stress index, and can be used also for the detection of a stress state.

The LF value is called Low Frequency, and it is known that the sympathetic nerve component is mainly contained. The LF value is a value obtained by integrating a power value obtained from analysis of pulse fluctuations in a frequency band of 0.04 to 0.15 Hz.

The HF value is called High Frequency, and it is known that a parasympathetic component is included. The HF value is a value obtained by integrating a power value obtained from analysis of pulse fluctuations in a frequency band of 0.15 to 0.4 Hz.

When a higher value is obtained compared with LF/HF in the normal state, it is evaluated that the stress is in a high state, and the result can be presented to the user.

The computing device 20 may further include a notification unit (display 24) that notifies the evaluation result data of the health state by the analysis unit 23 .

Since the computing device 20 includes the display 24 , the user or a person who monitors the user's health condition and is in the vicinity of the computing device 20 can confirm the evaluation result on the display 24 . have.

The result notified to the user by the display 24 or the like may be the value of the biometric information data itself, the data after the analysis, or the evaluation value of a disease or psychological stress calculated by the analysis by the analysis unit 23 do.

In addition, from the analysis data or the evaluation value, suggestions regarding the usage method of the aerosol supply device 1, such as the inhalation time and the inhalation method of the aerosol supply device 1, and the type of aerosol gas, may be included. Moreover, you may make it possible to suggest the information regarding the goods or service according to the evaluation value.

For example, for users who have a higher evaluation of psychological stress than usual, information on means for reducing psychological stress levels such as relaxation products, travel, advertisements for nearby salons and hospitals, relaxation services, and discount coupons are displayed. It may be said that it is presented in (24).

In addition, additional inhalation of the aerosol 3 or another type of aerosol gas may be recommended, for example, a warning about a disease called arrhythmia, or a notification that stress is relieved may be made.

The data transmission unit 7 transmits the biometric information data detected by the biometric information detection unit (pulse sensor 6) and the pressure data related to the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit (atmospheric pressure sensor 9) to an external device (calculation device). (20)).

The atmospheric pressure sensor 9 is provided inside the case body 5 (refer FIG. 1), and is a sensor which detects the atmospheric pressure in the case body 5. As shown in FIG. The atmospheric pressure sensor 9 is, for example, a condenser microphone sensor, and may output, for example, a voltage value indicating the capacitance of the capacitor as pressure data to the data transmission unit 7 . As for the atmospheric pressure sensor 9, when the air in the case body 5 is sucked by the user through the suction port 5a, the air introduced into the case body 5 through the ventilation hole (not shown) is absorbed by the suction port 5a.

The data transmitting unit 7 transmits the biometric information data (pulse) accumulated in the memory 10 such as RAM to an external device (the computing device 20 ).

According to the above configuration, the biometric information data acquired continuously by the aerosol supply device 1B can be accumulated, and the accumulated biometric information data can be transmitted to the computing device 20 . For this reason, when the external device receives the accumulated data of the biometric information data that deviate greatly from the average value of the individual, it is possible to accurately determine the abnormality in the health state.

<3rd modification>

Next, the arithmetic device 20A which concerns on a 3rd modified example is demonstrated with reference mainly to FIG. Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing the function of the arithmetic unit 20A according to the third modification.

For example, when it is determined that the user is in a state of tension, text recommending a type of aerosol gas capable of reducing stress may be displayed on the display 24 .

In addition, the selection unit 25 reduces specific psychological stress levels, such as comments recommending extension of rest time and recommendations/recommendations of massage, as described above, based on the health status evaluation result data (evaluation of psychological stress) You may make it display on the display 24 by selecting information regarding the means which can be performed.

In addition, the selection unit 25 may be selected from data for selection candidates, such as a method of using the aerosol supply device 1 , which is recorded in advance in a memory 26 to be described later.

<Fourth modification>

Next, the arithmetic device 20B which concerns on a 4th modification is demonstrated with reference mainly to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 in addition to FIG. Fig. 6 is a block diagram showing the function of the calculating device 20B according to the fourth modification. Fig. 7 is a relationship between the number of puffs and the pulse rate in normal times, and the relationship between the number of puffs and the number of pulses in an abnormal state. It is a figure which shows an example of.

The computing device 20B further includes a memory 26 such as RAM for storing related data indicating the relationship between the user's aerosol 3 inhalation amount and the biometric information data in normal times.

The analysis unit 23 included in the calculating unit 40B compares the related data stored in the memory 26 with the biometric information data and suction amount data stored in the biometric information storage unit to evaluate the user's health condition. .

According to the above configuration, the processing by the analysis unit 23 is performed by using the related data indicating the relationship between the amount of the user's aerosol 3 inhalation and the biometric information data stored in the memory 26 in normal times. The speed can be increased, and the user's health condition can be accurately evaluated based on the relationship between the suction amount data and the biometric information data.

In the example shown in FIG. 7 , the relationship between the number of puffs (suction amount) and the pulse rate of the user at normal times stored in the memory 26 is indicated by a broken line, and biometric information data actually obtained from the biometric information storage unit 22 . The relationship between (pulse rate) and suction amount data (puff number) is indicated by a solid line.

In the case shown in FIG. 7 , the analysis unit 23 evaluates that the user's pulse rate is high compared with a reference such as normal time, and displays that effect on the display 24 . "Reference" as used herein refers to a function of the number of puffs (other suction times) as suction amount data with respect to biometric information data (pulse rate). Based on the magnitude of the deviation between the reference and the actual measurement result, the analysis unit 23 transmits a signal to the display 24 to give a warning, when it is determined that the user state at that time is abnormal.

The normal biometric data may be heart rate data in addition to the pulse rate, or may be the user's reactivity to each type of aerosol 3 (eg, the degree of reduction in stress for each number of puffs).

As described above, in the analysis by the analysis unit 23, it is optimal to use the personal biometric information data as a reference, but it is also possible to use publicly known external data. Further, in the analysis of biometric information data obtained from known external data in this way, the data may be corrected according to the presence or absence of age, sex, race, genetic background, or the like.
