Embodiment Construction

[0033] figure 1 A device 1 according to the invention, hereinafter also referred to as motion sickness indicator, is schematically shown for detecting movements that may cause motion sickness. This motion sickness indicator 1 comprises a measuring device 3 , evaluation devices 5 connected thereto, and a display device 7 connected to these evaluation devices 5 .

[0034] The measuring device 3 is used to measure a parameter related to motion sickness of various sports. The applicant has stated that acceleration is one such relevant parameter. From the acceleration, good predictions can be made of the motion-stunning effect. For this reason, the measuring device 3 comprises one or more acceleration sensors, with which the acceleration of the movement acting on the device 1 during use can be measured, preferably in three orthogonal directions (a x 、a y 、a z ). Optionally, acceleration can be measured in two or only one direction, but since motion can cause motion sickness i...

Abstract

A method for the prevention of motion sickness in occupants of a vehicle, wherein a motion sickness indicator is fitted in the vehicle, which indicator indicates whether the vehicle motions experienced by the occupants during use can cause motion sickness, wherein the information coming from the indicator is fed back to a driver or a steering system of the vehicle, all this in such a manner that the driver or steering system can adjust the steering of the car in such a manner that the sickening motions are minimized. Further more, the invention relates to a motion sickness indicator suitable for a method according to the invention, comprising a transducer for measuring a relevant parameter for motion sickness, evaluation means for comparing the measured motion parameter with empirical dataconcerning the sickening effect of comparable motion parameters, on the basis of which the sickening effect of the measured parameter can be estimated, and rendering means for presenting an outcome obtained by means of the evaluation tools to the user in a suitable manner.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for preventing motion sickness and to a device suitable for use in the method according to the invention for detecting and signaling movements that may cause a person to faint. Background technique [0002] Motion sickness can occur when a person is exposed to one or more specific movements for an extended period of time. In addition, various factors such as temperature, smell, mood and digestion may play a catalytic role. The most well-known forms of motion sickness are seasickness and motion sickness. Especially the latter variant occurs quite often, especially in children. In conclusion, many solutions have been proposed to control motion sickness, especially motion sickness. [0003] For example, there are preventive medications on the market that need to be ingested some time before driving and then help curb motion sickness and its associated clinical manifestations, such as nausea. Few of these known...
