Abstract

According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a format data acquisition unit, a measurement data acquisition unit, a generation unit, and a record processing unit. The format data acquisition unit is configured to acquire format data including a measurement item. The measurement data acquisition unit is configured to acquire measurement data of a biological body relating to the measurement from an electronic apparatus relating to measurement of the measurement item based on communication with the electronic apparatus. The generation unit is configured to generate measurement result data including the measurement item and biological information based on the measurement data. The record processing unit is configured to record the measurement result data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An image processing apparatus, comprising:
a format data acquisition component configured to acquire format data including a plurality of measurement items; a measurement data acquisition component configured to acquire measurement data of a biological body relating to the plurality of measurement items from one or more electronic apparatuses relating to measurement of the plurality of measurement items based on communication with the electronic apparatuses; a generation component configured to generate first measurement result data including the plurality of measurement items and including first biological information based on the measurement data, and configured to generate second measurement result data including the plurality of measurement items and including second biological information based on the measurement data, the second biological information being at least partially different than the first biological information, wherein the generation component is further configured to classify, based on user information corresponding to the biological body, the first measurement result data using a first set of specified hierarchy-based classes and to classify, based on the user information, the second measurement result data using a second set of specified hierarchy-based classes that are different form the first set of specified hierarchy-based classes; and a record processing component configured to record the first measurement result data and the second measurement result data.

2 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a user information acquisition component configured to acquire the user information including a biological information history,
wherein the generation component generates time-series data of biological information based on the biological information history in the user information and the biological information, and the measurement result data includes the time-series data.

3 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an abnormality detection component configured to detect a plurality of different abnormalities of the biological information based on reference values of biological information; and an output component configured to output a set of notifications in response to the detection of the abnormalities by the abnormality detection component, wherein the output component outputs a first notification, of the set of notifications, to a first destination institution and a second notification, of the set of notifications, to a second destination institution that is different from the first destination institution.

4 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,
wherein the measurement result data includes abnormality information representing the abnormality.

5 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic apparatus comprises a sensor configured to acquire biological data.

6 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement item is a medical measurement item.

7 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement data acquisition component communicates wirelessly with the electronic apparatus.

8 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the abnormality comprises a value exceeding a reference value by a predetermined range or a value falling below the reference value by the predetermined range.

9 . An image processing system comprising one or more electronic apparatuses and an image processing apparatus,
wherein the electronic apparatus acquires measurement data of a biological body and outputs the measurement data to the image processing apparatus, and the image processing apparatus comprises: a format data acquisition component configured to acquire format data including a plurality of measurement items; a measurement data acquisition component configured to acquire the measurement data relating to the plurality of measurement items from the electronic apparatuses relating to measurement of the plurality of measurement items based on communication with the electronic apparatuses; a generation component configured to generate first measurement result data including the plurality of measurement items and including first biological information based on the measurement data, and configured to generate second measurement result data including the plurality of measurement items and including second biological information based on the measurement data, the second biological information being at least partially different than the first biological information, wherein the generation component is further configured to classify, based on user information corresponding to the biological body, the first measurement result data using a first set of specified hierarchy-based classes and to classify, based on the user information, the second measurement result data using a second set of specified hierarchy-based classes that are different form the first set of specified hierarchy-based classes; and a record processing component configured to record the first measurement result data and the second measurement result data.

10 . The image processing system according to claim 9 , further comprising a user information acquisition component configured to acquire the user information including a biological information history,
wherein the generation component generates time-series data of biological information based on the biological information history in the user information and the biological information, and the measurement result data includes the time-series data.

11 . The image processing system according to claim 9 , further comprising:
an abnormality detection component configured to detect a plurality of different abnormalities of the biological information based on reference values of biological information; and an output component configured to output a set of notifications in response to the detection of the abnormalities by the abnormality detection component, wherein the output component outputs a first notification, of the set of notifications, to a first destination institution and a second notification, of the set of notifications, to a second destination institution that is different from the first destination institution.

12 . The image processing system according to claim 11 ,
wherein the measurement result data includes abnormality information representing the abnormality.

13 . The image processing system according to claim 9 , wherein the electronic apparatus comprises a sensor configured to acquire biological data.

14 . The image processing system according to claim 9 , wherein the measurement item is a medical measurement item.

15 . The image processing system according to claim 9 , wherein the measurement data acquisition component communicates wirelessly with the electronic apparatus.

16 . The image processing system according to claim 11 , wherein the abnormality comprises a value exceeding a reference value by a predetermined range or a value falling below the reference value by the predetermined range.

17 . An image processing method, comprising:
acquiring format data including a plurality of measurement items; acquiring measurement data of a biological body relating to the plurality of measurement items from one or more electronic apparatuses relating to measurement of the plurality of measurement items based on communication with the electronic apparatuses; generating firs
