  • Publication number: 20230351885
    Abstract: Sensing data can be transmitted in association with unique identification information of a subject without causing an increase in costs for a sensing device and burden of costs incurred to the subject. An information communication terminal reads an information code obtained by encoding at least address information of the sensing device and transmits notification information including at least unique identification information of the subject to the sensing device based on the address information represented by the information code. Upon receiving the notification information transmitted from the information communication terminal, the sensing device transmits the sensing data of the subject to a data processing device together with the unique identification information included in the notification information.

  • Patent number: 11280892
    Abstract: A measuring device (10) that is portable is configured to be capable of BLE communication with an information processing device (20). The measuring device (10) is configured to acquire living body related information of a user, receive a first advertising packet transmitted at a predetermined cycle from an information processing device (20), start encryption of the living body related information using a public key when the first advertising packet is received, calculate an estimated distance between the measuring device (10) and the information processing device (20) on the basis of a received signal strength indicator of the first advertising packet, and transmit a second advertising packet including the living body related information thus encrypted when the estimated distance is less than a first threshold.

  • Patent number: 8898843
    Abstract: An electric toothbrush includes a body portion, a portion of which is gripped by a user, and a brush part that is exchangeably attached to the body portion. The body portion includes a switch that is a contact-type sensor unit arranged on a portion that excludes the gripped portion, and that receives operations from the outside, and a control unit for controlling operations of the electric toothbrush in accordance with an operation received by the contact-type sensor unit. If a first operation is received by the contact-type sensor unit, the control unit outputs an indication that operations can be received for a certain time period, and if a second operation received by the contact-type sensor unit in the certain time period is an operation that corresponds to a predetermined operation pattern, the control unit controls operations of the electric toothbrush in accordance with the second operation.
