Abstract: Destination management processing units (13,23) of a video processor and a peripheral device each perform destination management processing in a communication between the video processor and the peripheral device. A plurality of communication processing units are situated above the destination management processing unit, respectively correspond to functions of a plurality of peripheral devices, and each process a command. When the destination management processing unit transmits a command, the destination management processing unit adds, to the command to be transmitted, destination information that indicates which of the plurality of communication processing units is to be used.

Abstract: An image processing device includes: a reading unit that reads an image, image identification information (image ID), and medium identification information (medium ID) from the removable medium; a transmitting unit that transmits, to a server, the image ID and the medium ID that have been read by the reading unit; a receiving unit that receives, from the server, the patient information that corresponds to the image ID and the medium ID that have been transmitted by the transmitting unit, or information indicating no existing corresponding patient information; and a display control unit that displays, on a display device, the image read by the reading unit and the patient information received by the receiving unit, or the image read by the reading unit.

Abstract: A failure diagnostic device for diagnosing whether a failure has occurred in an acceleration sensor to be loaded in an electronic device such as a living body information measurement device of acquiring data concerning e.g. living body information includes: an acceleration calculator for calculating an acceleration applied to the electronic device based on an output from the acceleration sensor; and a first judger for judging whether the electronic device is in a stationary state based on a judgment as to whether an output value from the acceleration calculator lies within a predetermined range for a predetermined duration.

Abstract: In a pulse oximeter of the invention, an arterial blood oxygen saturation at least at a walking end point of time is stored in a storage, in response to a detection result from a detector for detecting whether a subject is walking. With use of the pulse oximeter, a measurement result on arterial blood oxygen saturation in association with walking can be automatically obtained, without the accompaniment of a laboratory technician or a like support.

Abstract: In a pulse oximeter (blood component measurement apparatus), a subject body is irradiated periodically with red light and infrared light. Then, carried out sequentially in a time sharing manner are the measurement of the transmitted light intensity through the subject body, the measurement of the pulse wave component of the transmitted light intensity, and the measurement of the dark level in the state that the subject body is not irradiated with the light. On the basis of these measurement values, oxygen saturation of the arterial blood is measured. In the present embodiments, each measurement is carried out with a time interval equal to the period corresponding to the line frequency. In this approach, periodic noise of the line frequency or other noise are eliminated in dark level correction. This permits precise measurement of the blood component.
