Abstract

The test device is configured of a device main body and a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal functions as an operation terminal of the device main body, and a browsing terminal for measurement data. The mobile terminal is connected to the device main body through wireless communication. The device main body wirelessly transmits the measurement data to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal notifies the device main body of the reception data size of the measurement data. In the device main body, a determining unit collates the reception data size with the transmission data size of the measurement data and determines whether or not the measurement data is normally transmitted. A notifying unit notifies the mobile terminal of a transmission result showing that non-transmitted data is present.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A test device comprising:
a device main body having a test unit that tests a sample collected from a living body to output a plurality of pieces of measurement data and a transmission unit that wirelessly transmits the measurement data; and a mobile terminal having a reception unit that receives the measurement data wirelessly transmitted from the transmission unit and a display unit that displays the received measurement data, wherein the device main body further includes a determining unit that determines whether or not the measurement data is normally transmitted to the mobile terminal, and a notifying unit that, in a case where there is non-transmitted data that is not normally transmitted among the plurality of pieces of measurement data, provides notification of a transmission result showing that there is the non-transmitted data.

2 . The test device according to claim 1 ,
wherein information on whether or not each piece of the measurement data is normally transmitted is included in the transmission result.

3 . The test device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the test unit tests a plurality of different samples and outputs a plurality of pieces of measurement data for each sample, and the measurement data to be transmitted by the transmission unit is the plurality of pieces of measurement data for each sample.

4 . The test device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the test unit outputs a plurality of pieces of measurement data relating to a plurality of measurement items in testing of one sample, and wherein the measurement data to be transmitted by the transmission unit is the plurality of pieces of measurement data regarding the plurality of measurement items.

5 . The test device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the test unit outputs a plurality of pieces of measurement data relating to a plurality of measurement items in testing of one sample, and wherein the measurement data to be transmitted by the transmission unit is the plurality of pieces of measurement data regarding the plurality of measurement items.

6 . The test device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the determining unit receives, from the mobile terminal, notification of a reception result of the measurement data received by the mobile terminal after the measurement data is transmitted, and determines whether or not the measurement data is normally transmitted on the basis of the reception result.

7 . The test device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the determining unit receives, from the mobile terminal, notification of a reception result of the measurement data received by the mobile terminal after the measurement data is transmitted, and determines whether or not the measurement data is normally transmitted on the basis of the reception result.

8 . The test device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the determining unit receives, from the mobile terminal, notification of a reception result of the measurement data received by the mobile terminal after the measurement data is transmitted, and determines whether or not the measurement data is normally transmitted on the basis of the reception result.

9 . The test device according to claim 4 ,
wherein the determining unit receives, from the mobile terminal, notification of a reception result of the measurement data received by the mobile terminal after the measurement data is transmitted, and determines whether or not the measurement data is normally transmitted on the basis of the reception result.

10 . The test device according to claim 5 ,
wherein the determining unit receives, from the mobile terminal, notification of a reception result of the measurement data received by the mobile terminal after the measurement data is transmitted, and determines whether or not the measurement data is normally transmitted on the basis of the reception result.

11 . The test device according to claim 6 ,
wherein the reception result includes a received data size regarding the measurement data received by the mobile terminal, and wherein the determining unit determines whether or not normal transmission is made by collating a data size of the transmitted measurement data with the received data size notified from the mobile terminal.

12 . The test device according to claim 6 ,
wherein the reception result includes received item information showing a measurement item of the measurement data received by the mobile terminal, and wherein the determining unit determines whether or not normal transmission is made by collating a measurement item of the transmitted measurement data with the received item information notified from the mobile terminal.

13 . The test device according to claim 11 ,
wherein the reception result includes received item information showing a measurement item of the measurement data received by the mobile terminal, and wherein the determining unit determines whether or not normal transmission is made by collating a measurement item of the transmitted measurement data with the received item information notified from the mobile terminal.

14 . The test device according to claim 1 ,
wherein in a case where the non-transmitted data is generated due to a communication failure, the notifying unit notifies the mobile terminal of the transmission result in a case where the communication failure is recovered.

15 . The test device according to claim 2 ,
wherein in a case where the non-transmitted data is generated due to a communication failure, the notifying unit notifies the mobile terminal of the transmission result in a case where the communication failure is recovered.

16 . The test device according to claim 3 ,
wherein in a case where the non-transmitted data is generated due to a communication failure, the notifying unit notifies the mobile terminal of the transmission result in a case where the communication failure is recovered.

17 . The test device according to claim 4 ,
wherein in a case where the non-transmitted data is generated due to a communication failure, the notifying unit notifies the mobile terminal of the transmission result in a case where the communication failure is recovered.

18 . The test device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the notifying unit notifies a terminal different from the mobile terminal of the transmission result.

19 . The test device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the mobile terminal functions as an operation terminal of the device main body.

20 . A method of operating the test device according to claim 1 including:
the device main body having the test unit that tests the sample collected from the living body to output the plurality of pieces of measurement data and the transmission unit that wirelessly transmits the measurement data; and
the mobile terminal having the reception unit that receives the measurement data wirelessly transmitted from the transmission unit and the display unit that displays the received measurement data, the method comprising:
a determination step of determining whether or not the measurement data is normally transmitted from the device main body to the mobile terminal; and
a notification step of, in a case where there is non-transmitted data that is not normally transmitted among the plurality of pieces of measurement data, providing notification of a transmission result showing that there is the non-transmitted data.
