In such a backup screen, the kind of backup is selected and then the secret number is inputted. If the secret number is identified, the relevant backup is prosecuted.
  • Fig. 21 is a view for showing an example of level information screen according to the invention.
  • An application program using the digital weight scale of the invention provides an interest through a level game. That is, in order to prepare for a case that it is hard for children to continuously measure his/her own body weight, if characterizing the body weight measurement to arise interest, the children can continuously measure the body weight.
  • the time of the device 200 is set as the time of the computer system 100 and then the program is finished while an end message is displayed. (525 - 527) As such, according to the invention, since the time of the device is always set as the time of the system, the alignment with the database is easily prosecuted, and thus the order of the measurement can be more precisely identified.
  • the digital weight scale of the invention can independently measure the body weight without special power devices such as a power cord, an adapter, and the like, even when the digital weight scale is not connected to the computer in the single mode. Further, in case of using the charging battery, since the USB power is used, additional adapter is not required, and cost for a battery, which is consumption goods, is not incurred. Further, since data measured in the single mode can be saved in the device, the data is not lost. Further, since the program can fetch data saved upon the operation of the program mode, the data is easily utilized. Further, since data is saved even in the single mode, the difference between the present body weight and the just prior body weight can be identified.
  • special power devices such as a power cord, an adapter, and the like
  • the digital weight scale of the invention has a user automatic recognition function, thereby automatically recognizing those who measure the body weight based on the body weight info ⁇ nation even when several persons use one device. Further, the digital weight scale of the invention has a function for setting a symbol and correction value according to country, thereby correcting gravity according to country and setting gravity unit according to country.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une échelle numérique pour ordinateur, comprenant: un moyen capteur de force; une partie d'amplification/filtrage; un convertisseur analogique/numérique; une partie d'affichage; un port de connexion pour la connexion à un ordinateur; un moyen de communication; un commutateur pour capter la charge et produire un signal d'arrêt/marche; une horloge en temps réel; une mémoire; une partie de gestion d'énergie; et un contrôleur pour communiquer avec l'ordinateur et identifier un mode de fonctionnement. Ainsi, si le mode de fonctionnement est du type mode simple, le contrôleur traite les données entrées depuis le convertisseur analogique-numérique pour calculer le poids de l'utilisateur et non seulement afficher les données traitées sur la partie d'affichage, mais également sauvegarder les données traitées dans la mémoire conjointement avec les informations temporelles, et, si le mode de fonctionnement est du type mode programme, le contrôleur transmet à l'ordinateur les données mesurées en mode simple et transmet à l'ordinateur les données entrées depuis le convertisseur analogique-numérique.
