Abstract

A peripheral device for providing a health information message to a host device includes a health data obtainer configured to obtain health data; a message generator configured to determine a type of the health data, a private message identification (ID) corresponding to the type of the health data, and an ID of the peripheral device, and generate the health information message to include the private message ID, the ID of the peripheral device, and the health data; and a message provider configured to transmit the health information message to the host device, the private message ID being configured to be interpreted differently according to the ID of the peripheral device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A medical device for providing a health information message to a host device, the medical device comprising:
a health data obtainer configured to obtain health data;
a message generator configured to determine a type of the health data, a private message identification (ID) corresponding to the type of the health data, and an ID of the medical device, and generate the health information message, the health information message including the private message ID, the ID of the medical device, and the health data; and
a message provider configured to transmit the health information message in a message format to the host device,
wherein the private message ID is configured to be interpreted differently according to the ID of the medical device,
wherein the message format comprises one of:
a standard message format configured to be used to transmit health data generated by the medical device; and
an extended message format configured to be used when message providers of a plurality of medical devices transmit a plurality of health data each of which is obtained by a respective medical device of the plurality of medical devices, when the message provider transmits health data variably generated by the medical device, or when a number of types of the health data is greater than a predetermined level, and
wherein the message format is selected from one of the standard message format and the extended message format based on the type of the health data.

2. The medical device of claim 1 , wherein the message generator is further configured to generate a message ID of the health information message, the message ID being classified as one of the private message ID and a common message ID.

3. The medical device of claim 2 , wherein the message ID is expressed in a predetermined number of bits,
wherein some values expressed in the predetermined number of bits indicate the private message ID, and
other values expressed in the predetermined number of bits indicate the common message ID.

4. The medical device of claim 1 , wherein the health data comprises raw data, and the medical device further comprises a sensor configured to measure the raw data in real time.

5. The medical device of claim 1 , wherein the health data obtainer is configured to obtain health data generated by sub-medical devices connected to the medical device, and
wherein the message generator is configured to generate a health information message to include the health data generated by the sub-medical devices and IDs of the sub-medical devices.

6. The medical device of claim 5 , wherein the health information message including the health data generated by the sub-medical devices and the IDs of the sub-medical devices comprises the private message ID, and
the health data generated by the sub-medical devices is configured to be extracted by the host device, based on the private message ID and the IDs of the sub-medical devices.

7. The medical device of claim 5 , further comprising a message receiver configured to receive a request for additional health data from the host device,
wherein the message generator is configured to generate a health information message to include the health data generated by the sub-medical devices and the IDs of the sub-medical devices, in response to the request for the additional health data.

8. The medical device of claim 7 , wherein the medical device is configured to transmit a list of the sub-medical devices and a list of the health data generated by the sub-medical devices to the host device, in response to the request for the additional health data.

9. The medical device of claim 5 , wherein the sub-medical devices are included in the medical device.

10. A method of providing a health information message from a medical device to a host device, the method comprising:
obtaining health data;
determining a type of the health data, a private message identification (ID) corresponding to the type of the health data, and an ID of the medical device;
generating the health information message to include the private message ID, the ID of the medical device, and the health data; and
transmitting the health information message in a message format to the host device,
wherein the private message ID is configured to be interpreted differently according to the ID of the medical device,
wherein the message format comprises one of:
a standard message format configured to be used to transmit health data generated by the medical device; and
an extended message format configured to be used when a plurality of medical devices transmit a plurality of health data, each of which is obtained by a respective medical device of the plurality of medical devices, when health data variably generated by the medical device is transmitted, or when a number of types of the health data is greater than a predetermined level, and
wherein the message format is selected from one of the standard message format and the extended message format based on the type of the health data.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising classifying a message ID of the health information message as one of the private message ID and a common message ID.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the message ID is expressed in a predetermined number of bits,
wherein some values expressed in the predetermined number of bits indicate the private message ID, and
other values expressed in the predetermined number of bits are set to the common message ID.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the health data comprises raw data, and the method further comprises measuring the raw data in real time using a sensor of the medical device.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the obtaining comprises obtaining health data generated by sub-medical devices connected to the medical device, and
the generating of the health information message comprises generating the health information message to include the health data generated by the sub-medical devices and IDs of the sub-medical devices.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the health information message including the health data generated by the sub-medical devices and the IDs of the sub-medical devices comprises the private message ID, and
the health data generated by the sub-medical devices is configured to be extracted by the host device, based on the private message ID and the IDs of the sub-medical devices.

16. The method of claim 14 , further comprising receiving a request for additional health data from the host device, and
wherein the generating of the health information message comprises generating the health information message to include the health data generated by the sub-medical devices and the IDs of the sub-medical devices, in response to the request for the additional health data.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising transmitting a list of the sub-medical devices and a list of the health data generated by the sub-medical devices to the host device, in response to the request for the additional health data.

18. The method of claim 14 , wherein the sub-medical devices are included in the medical device.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program including commands which, when executed, cause a computer to perform a method of providing a health information message from a medical device to a host device, the method comprising:
obtaining health data;
determining a type of the health data, a private message identification (ID) corresponding to the
