- the data wireless communication device can be used around the health equipment of
- the second transmitter may be attached to the pedometer or the weight scale.
- the transmission radio wave from antenna 2 is reduced or transmission is disturbed, and even if the second transmitter is attached to another health device, the transmission radio wave from the second antenna power source is not reduced, and the propagation is In this case, it is necessary to use a transmitter that is stronger than other health devices in terms of antenna strength. Strong for such a pedometer or weight scale! Since it is necessary to use a transmitter that transmits radio waves of high intensity and to use a transmitter that transmits low intensity radio waves to other health devices, the pedometer and weight scale are commonly used for other health devices. You can not use the transmitter that can do it.
- the first antenna is incorporated in the pedometer or weight scale, and the transmission radio wave intensity suitable for these devices is adjusted, whereby the transmission used in the sphygmomanometer or body fat gauge is achieved.
- Machine The same transmitter can be used to transmit data, and one transmitter can be used for multiple health devices.
- the receiver may not be able to receive the radio wave transmitted by the second antenna power of the second transmitter attached to the weight scale.
- the transmitter and the metal casing or metal components approach when the transmitter is attached. It will be in a state of Then, the magnetic field and the electric field around the antenna of the transmitter are disturbed by the metal casing and the metal parts, and the directivity of the radio wave transmitted from the transmitter is changed. As a result, even if radio waves of desired transmission strength are output from the antenna of the transmitter, the radio waves may not sufficiently reach the reception position separated by a predetermined distance, and the electric field strength at the reception position may be weak.
- the transmitter is mounted and placed on the floor, and in the state, the positional relationship is such that the antenna of the transmitter and the floor are close to each other.
- the floor is metal, a capacitor is formed between the antenna and the floor and has a capacitance between them.
- the transmission efficiency characteristic changes, and the peak of the efficiency deviates from the set transmission frequency f0, and the intensity of the transmission radio wave from the antenna decreases.
- the antenna is covered by the metal case, and the shield effect by the metal case causes the propagation of radio waves output from the data transfer device to the receiving position. It is disturbed, as a result of which the field strength at the receiving position is reduced.
- the receiver may not be able to receive radio waves transmitted from the weight scale.
- the reception position can be obtained.
- sufficient electric field strength can be obtained.
- the main body is larger than the pedometer! /, And an antenna with a large transmission efficiency can be formed with a large loop, so the configuration is covered by a metal case.
- the pedometer and the weight scale are described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to the pedometer and the weight scale, and may be applied to health equipment such as a sphygmomanometer, a thermometer, an electrocardiograph, and a blood glucose meter. It is also possible to respond.
- the present invention is not limited to a device having a biometric function, but may be an electric device or a mobile device that transmits arbitrary information. Terminal equipment can be applied as well.
- the first transmitter has a configuration without a transmission circuit
- the second transmitter and the corresponding transmission adapter have a configuration without a power supply unit.
- the configuration can be simplified, and in addition, the second transmitter or transmission adapter can be reused by being used for multiple types of first transmitters. Can be effective.
- a small number of second transmitters are connected to each health device by connecting and using a transmission adapter to each health device. There is no need to provide a second transmitter or transmission adapter, and the cost of each health device can be reduced.
- the present invention can be applied not only to health devices such as pedometers, blood pressure monitors, thermometers, weight scales, electrocardiographs, blood glucose meters, etc., but also to electric devices and portable terminal devices that transmit input information. it can
