A communication system and a receiving device ensure reducing a risk of performing pairing processing on an incorrect pair caused by presence of a large count of communication candidates, wherein the communication system includes an extractor to extract the communication candidates among a plurality of biological information measuring devices by the receiving device. The extractor compares radio field intensities of a plurality of pairing signals. A first threshold value specifies a lower limit of the radio field intensity at which a transmission of biological information is effectively achieved. The extractor extracts the at least one biological information measuring device transmitting the pairing signal at the radio field intensity exceeding a second threshold value as the communication candidate for this receiving device. According to an input operation by an operator, a selector selects the one biological information measuring device as a communication target among the communication candidates extracted by the extractor.

Communication system and receiving device

A device includes a body part and a wearable part integrally attached to the body part and to be worn on a finger, and includes a light source unit and a light receiving unit that are arranged so as to oppose each other. The body part includes an electric circuit including a signal processor, a power supply unit, and a first terminal unit electrically connected to the electric circuit, and the wearable part includes at least one of the light source unit and the light receiving unit, and a second terminal unit electrically connected to the at least one of them. The first and second terminal units are mechanically in contact with and electrically connected to each other. The signal processor acquires a digital value concerning a pulse wave based on a signal output from the light receiving unit receiving light from the light source unit via the finger.

A biometric information measuring apparatus has a storage device for storing data concerning a biometric signal or biometric information derived from the biometric signal in association with position information indicating the current location of a sensor unit of the apparatus. Since the biometric information measuring apparatus provides the position information acquired when the data on the biometric signal or the biometric information was obtained, one can know the location and behavior of a subject at the time of measurement and exactly analyze the biometric information on the subject.
