  • Publication number: 20190374172
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a biological information recording apparatus include a first acquisition unit, a second acquisition unit, a determination unit, and a control unit. The determination unit determines whether or not the biological information has varied outside of a preset normal range. The control unit records the biological information, if the biological information has varied outside of the normal range and if the motion information of the living body is not detected in a period corresponding to a variation period of the biological information. The biological information is a blood pressure of the living body detected for each pulse along with a heartbeat.

  • Publication number: 20190313981
    Abstract: A measuring apparatus includes a biological sensor that detects biological information, a movement sensor that detects movement information of a living body as a target of the biological information, a determination unit that determines whether the body starts to move and whether the body is moving, based on the biological information and the movement information, a recording unit that records the biological information until a common value is obtained, if it is determined that the body starts to move, an analyzer that determines whether a history of a biological value of the biological information from when the biological value starts to decrease until the biological value reaches the common value is within a proper range, and a deleting unit that deletes a corresponding biological information from the recording unit if the history is within the proper range.

  • Publication number: 20190313983
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a user terminal apparatus includes a hardware processor and a memory connected to the hardware processor. The hardware processor is configured to detect whether a user has entered a specific state, acquire a heart rate of the user which is measured by a sensor, determine whether the measured heart rate is less than a threshold when it is detected that the user has entered the specific state, and issue a notification to prompt to take an action when it is determined that the measured heart rate is less than the threshold.

  • Patent number: 7692795
    Abstract: A surface plasmon sensor includes a light guide reflection plate, a surface plasmon resonance layer formed on a first surface of the light guide reflection plate, a light emitting unit having a light source disposed on an end surface of the light guide reflection plate, and a light receiving element. The surface plasmon resonance layer includes a metal layer. The light guide reflection plate includes at least one first reflection surface inclined against the first surface. The light guide reflection plate is configured to transmit light emitted by the light source. The at least one first reflection surface is configured reflect the light to the surface plasmon resonance layer. The metal layer is configured to reflect the light reflected by the at least one first reflection surface. The light receiving element is configured to receive the light reflected by the metal layer.
