A biological information measurement apparatus includes a sensor unit, a processing unit which detects first biological information and second biological information based on sensor information obtained from the sensor unit, a communication unit which transmits the first biological information and the second biological information to an information processing apparatus, and a storage unit which stores the second biological information. The communication unit transmits the first biological information in a first communication cycle and transmits the second biological information stored in the storage unit in a second communication cycle longer than the first communication cycle.

Biological information measurement apparatus, information processing apparatus, and biological information measurement system

To provide a device that efficiently selects desired data out of a large number of selectable data. A pulse meterincludes a body motion sensorthat detects body motion information concerning a limb, an inclination-angle calculating unitthat calculates an inclination angle of the limb on the basis of the body motion information, a display unitthat displays an input candidate value corresponding to the inclination angle, and a determination instructing unitthat decides the input candidate value as an input value.

Input device, information processing device, and input method

A measurement information management system includes a measurement apparatus and an information device. The measurement apparatus may include a storage unit; a timepiece unit; a measurement unit which measures biological information indicative of a state of a user; a determination unit which determines whether the biological information meets a certain condition to thereby determine whether or not the state of the user is a certain state; a storage control unit which causes the storage unit to store a time at which the biological information is measured, when the biological information meets the condition; and a transmission unit which transmits information to the information device. The information device may include a display unit. Either the measurement apparatus or the information device may further include a position information measurement unit which measures a location. The display unit may display at least one of the time and the location.

A measurement information display system includes a measuring apparatus that measures biological and/or behavioral information of a user, and the measurement information display apparatus. The display apparatus includes a display unit with a screen; a communication unit that communications with the measuring apparatus to acquire the information, and a display control unit that causes the display unit to display a plurality of graphs on the screen, where the graphs represent the information. The graphs include a first graph located on a first portion of the screen and a second graph located on a second portion of the screen overlapping the first portion.

An information processing device includes: an information acquisition unit which acquires information; and a communication unit which communicates with an external device via near field communication. The communication unit divides data of the information into a plurality of blocks, each including a plurality of packets, transmits the plurality of blocks with a first characteristic provided with a property of read with no acknowledge, and receives a receiving result of the blocks in the external device, with a second characteristic provided with the property of write with acknowledge.

Information processing device, communication method, and communication system

A wireless communication apparatus includes a transmitter circuit whose transmission power is set variably, a wireless communication section having a receiver circuit, and a processing section that executes a control of the wireless communication section. The processing section sets the transmission power of the transmitter circuit to a first transmission power when it executes normal data communication and sets the transmission power of the transmitter circuit to a second transmission power smaller than the first transmission power when it executes a pairing process.

Wireless communication apparatus and electronic device

A display device having an electrophoretic display panel that has two types of electrophoretic elements of different color and polarity disposed between electrodes, and changes display state according to an applied voltage, and a drive means for driving the electrophoretic display panel by applying a voltage between the electrodes. The drive means has a storage means for storing color transition information correlating the color levels displayed by the electrophoretic elements to the color level that is displayed when a positive pulse is applied and the color level that is displayed when a negative pulse is applied to the electrode connected to the electrophoretic elements displaying a particular color level; a target value setting means for setting as a target value the color level to be displayed by the electrophoretic elements; and a pulse applying means for applying a pulse of a specific voltage level to the electrode at least until a current value denoting the current color level of the electrophoretic elements matches the target value. The pulse applying means has a value determination unit for determining if the current value and the target value match, a pulse application unit for applying either a positive pulse or a negative pulse to the electrode so that the current value approaches the target value if the value determination unit determines the current value and the target value do not match, a transition value acquisition unit for getting from the color transition information a transition value denoting the color level after the pulse is applied, and a current value updating unit for updating the current value to the transition value.
