US Patent 7429246 Organism information measuring device

An organism information measuring device has a reception unit that receives organism information generated cyclically. A detection unit detects and transmits the organism information to the reception unit by electromagnetic induction. A notification unit provides notification of receipt of the organism information by the reception unit while generating electromagnetic noise. A control circuit controls the reception unit to stop a reception operation for a predetermined period less than a cycle in which the organism information is generated and controls the notification unit to provide notification of receipt by the reception unit of the organism information transmitted by the detection unit while the reception operation of the reception unit is stopped. In this manner, interference between electromagnetic noise generated by the notification unit and an electromagnetic induction signal transmitted by the detection unit is prevented.
