  • Patent number: 11954908
    Abstract: The communication support device includes a position acquisition unit, an imaging unit, a storage, a category ranking setting unit, a counterpart detector, and a notification unit. The position acquisition unit acquires position information indicating a position of a user. The imaging unit captures an image of a surrounding environment of the user to acquire a captured image. The storage stores the counterpart database. In the counterpart database, an image of a counterpart and a category indicating a property of the counterpart are associated with the counterpart. The category ranking setting unit sets a priority to the category according to the position information acquired by the position acquisition unit. The counterpart detector detects a counterpart belonging to the category in the captured image in order of the priority set by the category ranking setting unit. The notification unit notifies the user of information regarding the counterpart detected by the counterpart detector.

  • Patent number: 10509005
    Abstract: Provided is a blood component measuring device or the like that can further suppress the measurement error of a blood component. The device detects an oxidation-reduction current generated by oxidation-reduction when a first voltage is applied to a first electrode pair 21, 22 of a biosensor 1, and converts the oxidation-reduction current (glucose response value) into a glucose conversion value. The device detects a current generated when a second voltage is applied to a second electrode pair 23, 24 of the biosensor 1, and converts the detected current (blood cell amount response value) into a blood cell amount conversion value. The glucose response value is measured more than once and the blood cell amount response value is also measured more than once within a predetermined period after the introduction of the blood into the biosensor 1.
