1. A physiological information transmission system comprising at least one physiological information detection sensor and a smartphone, wherein
the smartphone includes:
a sensor identification information acquiring section configured to acquire sensor identification information of the physiological information detection sensor, the sensor identification information acquiring section being capable of reading a bar code corresponding to the sensor identification information;
a living body identification information acquiring section configured to acquire living body identification information of a living body, the living body identification information being capable of reading a bar code corresponding to the living body identification information;
a controller configured to generate first association information associating the sensor identification information which is acquired by the sensor identification information acquiring section, and the living body identification information of the living body which is acquired by the living body identification information acquiring section with each other; and
a first transmitter configured to transmit the first association information to the physiological information detection sensor through short-range wireless communication, and
the physiological information detection sensor includes:
a physiological information detector configured to detect physiological information of the living body;
at least one storage section configured to store the sensor identification information of the own sensor;
a receiver configured to receive the first association information which is transmitted by the first transmitter of the smartphone through short-range wireless communication;
a determining section configured to determine whether or not the first association information received by the receiver contains the sensor identification information of the own sensor which is stored in the storage section when the receiver receives the first association information; and
a second transmitter which is configured to transmit second association information associating the living body identification information in the received first association information through short-range wireless communication, and the physiological information of the living body which is detected by the physiological information detector, with each other, to an outside of the own sensor in response to a determination that the first association information received by the receiver contains the sensor identification information of the own sensor which is stored in the storage section.
