TECHNICAL FIELD

Some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method for displaying biometrics information, more specifically, sequentially displaying biometrics information by rotating the biometrics information according to time flow of measurement times of the biometrics information so that sequential biometrics information can be easily displayed on a small display area, and locating biometrics information of most recently measured time at a reference line or moving biometrics information of a desired measurement time to a reference line by rotating in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction or displaying a measurement time by a unit period on a single circle in a radial form and selecting a unit period that a user desires by rotating in a left direction or a right direction such that the biometrics information of the desired measurement time or unit period can be easily changed and checked.

BACKGROUND

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition that is common in modern people, and in the Republic of Korea, there are 2 million diabetes patients, about 5% of the total population.

Diabetes occurs when the absolute level of the sugar level in blood is high due to the absolute deficiency or relative insufficiency of insulin, produced by the pancreas, caused by various reasons such as obesity, stress, poor eating habits, and inherited hereditary factors and imbalance regarding glucose in the blood.

The blood usually contains a certain concentration of glucose, and tissue cells gain energy from the glucose.

However, when the glucose is increased excessively more than needed, the glucose cannot be properly stored in the liver, muscle, or adipose tissue and is accumulated in the blood, because of this, patients with diabetes maintain a much higher blood glucose level than normal people, and as excessive blood glucose passes through the tissues and is discharged into the urine, it results in deficiency of glucose, which is absolutely necessary for all tissues of the body, thereby causing abnormalities in respective body tissues.

Diabetes is characterized by substantial absence of subjective symptoms at the beginning of the condition, when diabetes progresses, diabetes-specific symptoms such as overdrink, overeat, polyuria, weight loss, weariness, skin itchiness, and lower ability of naturally healing on injury on hands and feet are shown, and further progression of diabetes leads to complications such as visual disturbances, hypertension, kidney disease, paralysis, periodontal disease, muscle spasms and neuralgia, as well as gangrene.

In order to diagnose diabetes beforehand and manage to prevent the progression of diabetes into complications associated therewith, systematic blood glucose measurement and treatment should be performed.

For diabetes patients as well as people having higher than normal blood glucose, even though diabetes has not yet developed, medical device manufacturers offer a variety of blood glucose meters to measure blood glucose levels at home.

Blood glucose measuring devices may be categorized into a single time measurement type measuring a blood glucose level and collecting blood from a fingertip by a user every single time and a continuous measurement type attaching a glucose monitoring system to the belly or an arm of the user and continuously measuring blood glucose levels.

Diabetics patients generally experience hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, an emergency may occur in the hypoglycemic conditions, and the patients may become unconscious or die if a hypoglycemic condition lasts for an extended period of time without the supply of sugar. Accordingly, although rapid discovery of the hypoglycemic condition is critically important for diabetics, blood-collecting type glucose monitoring devices intermittently measuring glucose have limited ability to accurately measure blood glucose levels.

Recently, to overcome such a drawback, continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMSs) inserted into the human body to measure a blood glucose level every few minutes have been developed, and therefore easily perform the management of diabetics and responses to an emergency situation.

A continuous glucose monitoring system includes a sensor module attached to the skin of the human body and measuring a blood glucose level by extracting body fluid, a transmitter transmitting the blood glucose level measured by the sensor module to a terminal, and a user terminal outputting the received blood glucose level, and any other appropriate component so that the user can continuously monitor the blood glucose states of the user using blood glucose values periodically measured at several minutes.

In case of the blood-collecting type glucose monitoring system or the continuous glucose monitoring system, the measured blood glucose of the user is transmitted to a user terminal connected through wireless or wired communication, the user can check past or current blood glucose information of the user through the user terminal, and the type of displaying the blood glucose information through the user terminal displays only the blood glucose information measured at a specific time, or displays the blood glucose information measured according to sequential time with a table, or displays the blood glucose information measured according to time along an axis with a graph.

However, if only blood glucose information of a specific time is displayed, it is difficult to intuitively recognize changes to sequential blood glucose information, and if blood glucose information is represented by a table or graph, it is difficult to easily recognize changes to blood glucose information according to time flow.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0408358, entitled “Method of Displaying Biometrics Signal Data”, published on Mar. 8, 2002 was published as conventional art of the present disclosure.

FIG. 1 is a drawing for illustrating a continuous blood glucose measurement system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 1, a continuous blood glucose measurement device (1) is attached to a skin of a user, and the continuous blood glucose measurement device (1) periodically extracts the body fluid of the user and continuously measures biometrics information of the user (for example, blood glucose) using the extracted body fluid.

Accordingly, when both the continuous blood glucose measurement device (1) and the user terminals (11, 13) are positioned within the short-distance communication range, the continuous blood glucose measurement device (1) transmits the measured biometrics information of the user to the user terminals (11, 13). Examples of the biometrics information measured by the continuous blood glucose measurement device (1) are described below.

More specifically, the user terminals (11, 13) may be a smartphone (11) or smart watch (13), when the smartphone (11) or the smart watch (13) is located within a certain distance from the continuous blood glucose measurement device (1), the smartphone (11) or the smart watch (13) initiates the connection process with the continuous blood glucose measurement device (1), and when the connection is completed, the smartphone (11) or the smart watch (13) periodically receives information of blood glucose measured by the continuous blood glucose measurement device (1).

The smartphone (11) or the smart watch (13) displays the most recent received blood glucose information among the glucose information received by the smartphone (11) or the smart watch (13) or sequentially outputs the blood glucose information continuously received for a certain time period according to time flow, and therefore the user can monitor a current blood glucose information of the user or can monitor the changes to the blood glucose information for a certain time period through a display unit of the smartphone (11) or the smart watch (13).

In this embodiment, the user terminal may be a device configured to store or output the blood glucose information of the user received from the continuous blood glucose measurement device (1) to the user so that the user can check the blood glucose information of the user received from the continuous blood glucose measurement device (1), and an application provided for this purpose of managing blood glucose information can be executed at the user terminal.

The user terminal (11, 13) is connected with a management server (50) through a network (30). The user terminal (11, 13) is configured to transmit the blood glucose information of the user received from the continuous blood glucose measurement device (1) to the management server (50) or transmits sensor use information of the continuous blood glucose measurement device (1) to the management server (50).

Preferably, the user terminal (11, 13) identifies a user based on inputted user information, and performs mapping between the blood glucose information and the identified user and registers and stores the blood glucose information mapped to the identified user. Meanwhile, the user terminal (11, 13) transmits the blood glucose information or the sensor use information registered and mapped to the user together with the user information to the management server (50).

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram for illustrating a user terminal for inquiring blood glucose information of a user according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 2, a communication unit is communicationally connected with a continuous blood glucose measurement device and transmits/receives data to/from the continuous blood glucose measurement device when the communication unit (110) is located within a certain communication distance from the continuous blood glucose measurement device, and the communication unit (110) may be implemented as a short-distance communication unit for transmitting/receiving data to/from the continuous blood glucose measurement device, for example, a Bluetooth communication unit, NFC communication unit, infrared communication unit, and so on.

When a store controlling unit (130) receives the blood glucose information of the user from the continuous blood glucose measurement device through the communication unit (110), the store controlling unit (130) registers and stores the received blood glucose information to a database unit (150).

Meanwhile, an output controlling unit (170) controls operation of outputting the blood glucose information of the user registered and stored in the database unit (150) on a display unit (180), and the output controlling unit (170) controls to sequentially display the blood glucose information registered and stored in the database unit (150) on the display unit (180) by rotating the blood glucose information registered and stored in the database unit (150) around a reference blood glucose level according to time flow of measurement times of measuring the blood glucose. Specifically, the output controlling unit (170) controls to sequentially display and rotate the blood glucose information, which has been received from the continuous blood glucose measurement device and stored for a unit period (for example, a day, a week and so on), in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction according to time flow of the measurement times of measuring the blood glucose information on the display unit, and the latest measured blood glucose information among the received blood glucose information is located on a reference line and previously measured blood glucose information is controlled to be sequentially displayed by being rotated in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction according to the time flow of the measurement times from the reference line.

The output controlling unit (170) controls to display the set value of the upper limit blood glucose or the set value of the lower limit blood glucose together with the blood glucose information on the display unit (180) based on the set value of the upper limit blood glucose or the set value of the lower limit blood glucose, or controls to display the biometrics information by rotating the biometrics information so that specific measurement time that the user intends to inquire, check or search is located on the reference line or controls to display the biometrics information by moving to the unit period of the biometrics information that the user intends to inquire, check or search according to the user command for inquiring, checking or searching the biometrics information.

FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of blood glucose information displayed on a display unit.

Referring to FIG. 3, circles representing sequentially increasing or decreasing blood glucose level around a reference blood glucose level, which may be a center of a circle, is displayed in a radial form or shape, and measurement times are displayed around the outermost circle. When the unit period displaying the blood glucose information on a single display screen is one day, measurement times for 24 hours are displayed around the outermost circle at regular intervals.

Meanwhile, when a set value of an upper limit blood glucose or a set value of a lower limit blood glucose is inputted through a user interface unit, a circle representing the set value of the upper limit blood glucose or the set value of the lower limit blood glucose at a blood glucose level corresponding to the set value of the upper limit blood glucose or the set value of the lower limit blood glucose is displayed. Preferably, the circle representing the set value of the upper limit blood glucose or the set value of the lower limit blood glucose is displayed with a different color from a circle representing a blood glucose level (for example, red or blue).

Accordingly, circles representing blood glucose levels which are sequentially increased or decreased from a reference blood glucose level, which may be a center of a circle, are displayed, and a blood glucose value and a measurement time of the measured blood glucose information are mapped to the blood glucose levels and time of a unit period and are displayed to be sequentially rotatedly moved in a clockwise direction or a counterclockwise direction, and therefore biometrics information of the user is displayed according to sequential time flow so that the user can easily recognize the biometrics information of the user on the display unit with a small size.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart for illustrating a method for outing blood glucose information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 4, when a user command for inputting a set value is inputted, the set value is set according to the inputted user command (S110). The set value may be a set value of an upper limit blood glucose or a set value of a lower limit blood glucose to easily detect hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia based on blood glucose information of a user depending on physical conditions of the user. Additionally, the set value may be a unit period set value for changeably setting a unit period to 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, and so on or a set value for setting the maximum value and the minimum value of the displayed blood glucose level.

When the blood glucose information of the user is received from the continuous blood glucose measurement device for a unit period (S130), the blood glucose information of the user is mapped with a measurement time and a blood glucose level displayed on a display unit and is displayed, and latest measured blood glucose information among measurement times of the blood glucose information is located on a fixed reference line and previously measured blood glucose information is rotated in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction from the refence line according to time flow of the measurement times and is sequentially outputted and displayed (S150).

Referring to FIG. 5, whether a user command for inquiring blood glucose information is inputted is determined (S210). The latest measured blood glucose is located at a reference line and blood glucose information measured at previously measured times is rotated in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction from the reference line and is sequentially outputted according to time flow of the measurement times, and the blood glucose information of the measurement time positioned on the reference line is specifically displayed as an Arabic numeral at one portion of the display unit. The user can input a user commend for inquiring precise blood glucose information of previously measured time by moving blood glucose information measured at the previously measured time to the reference line, or input a user commend for inquiring blood glucose information of a previous unit period. Preferably, the display unit may be a touch screen and the user can touch the display unit or performs touch movement to input the user command.

By determining whether the inputted user command is a user command for rotating in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction the previously measured time to the reference line (220), when the user command is a rotation inquiry command, the displayed blood glucose is rotatedly moved in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction and displayed (S230).

By determining whether a different inquiry command is inputted within a preset threshold time from a rotation inquiry command or a movement inquiry command (S260), if the rotation inquiry command or the movement inquiry command is inputted within the preset threshold time, the blood glucose information of the previously measured time is displayed or the blood glucose information of the previous unit period or the following unit period is displayed according to the rotation inquiry command or the movement inquiry command.

However, if it is determined that the different inquiry command is not inputted within the preset threshold time (S270), the blood glucose information is displayed such that the most recently measured blood glucose information is located and returned to the reference line (S290).
