Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the patent for "Body Condition Shareable Seat" with the international application number PCT / JP2018 / 037326, the application number in the Chinese national phase being 201880068050X, and the international filing date being October 5, 2018. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to a seat capable of evaluating the physical condition of a seated person. Background Art

[0003] Devices for evaluating the sitting posture of a seated person by providing a pressure sensor or the like on the driver's seat have been disclosed in the prior art (see, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-064131).

[0004] However, the prior device only evaluates and prompts the sitting posture of the seated driver, and there is no incentive for the seated person to use it, resulting in the problem that this function is not effectively utilized. Summary of the Invention

[0005] For a seat capable of evaluating the physical condition of a seated person, it is desirable to stimulate his / her motivation to use the function of evaluating the physical condition.

[0006] Based on this background, a body condition shareable seat is proposed, including: a seat main body; a sensor for obtaining a measurement value of the physical condition of a seated person sitting on the seat main body; and a controller connected to the sensor for obtaining the measurement value from the sensor, the controller having a function of communicating with other devices. In this seat, the controller includes: an evaluation unit for calculating an evaluation value of the physical condition based on the measurement value; an evaluation value presentation unit for presenting the evaluation value on a terminal device used by the seated person; a shared data acquisition unit for obtaining an evaluation value of another seated person, which is obtained based on the physical condition of another seated person and is obtained by the evaluation unit or from another body condition shareable seat; and a shared data presentation unit for presenting the evaluation value of another seated person on a terminal device used by the seated person.

[0007] With the seat configured as described above, on the terminal device used by the seated person, not only an evaluation value based on the physical condition of the seated person is provided, but also an evaluation value of another seated person based on the physical condition of others is provided; therefore, when the seated person is informed of the evaluation value of another seated person or the possibility that his / her own evaluation value is known to others, the motivation of the seated person to improve the evaluation value can be stimulated. In addition, sharing the evaluation value with others can also bring fun. Accordingly, the motivation of the seated person to use the physical condition evaluation function can be enhanced.

[0008] In the above-mentioned seat, the controller may further include: a target value presentation unit configured to present a target value on the terminal device used by the seated person for the estimated value; and a completion degree calculation unit configured to calculate the completion degree relative to the target value based on the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation unit before the target value presentation and the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation unit after the target value presentation. Based on these features, the shared data acquisition unit acquires the completion degrees of other seated persons, which are obtained from the completion degree calculation unit or from other seats with shareable physical conditions. The shared data presentation unit presents the completion degrees of other seated persons on the terminal device used by the seated person to replace the evaluation values of other seated persons, or presents both the evaluation values of other seated persons and the completion degrees of other seated persons at the same time.

[0009] Through the above-mentioned seat, not only the completion degree of the seated person's physical condition relative to the target value is presented, but also the completion degrees of other seated persons are presented. The completion degrees of other seated persons are presented on the terminal device used by the seated person, and the completion degrees of other seated persons refer to the completion degrees of the physical conditions of other seated persons relative to the target value. When it is known that the evaluation value of other seated persons or his / her own evaluation value may be known to others, it may stimulate people's enthusiasm to improve the evaluation value. In addition, sharing the completion degree with others can also bring fun. Accordingly, the enthusiasm for using the physical condition evaluation function can be enhanced.

[0010] In the above-mentioned seat, the shared data presentation unit is configured to present the evaluation values of other seated persons on the terminal device used by the seated person before the target value presentation unit presents the target value.

[0011] The shared data presentation unit is configured to present the evaluation values of other seated persons on the terminal device used by the seated person after the completion degree calculation unit calculates the completion degree.

[0012] The shared data presentation unit is configured to present the evaluation values of other seated persons on the terminal device used by the seated person during the period when the sensor measures to obtain the measured value of the seated person and during the period when the evaluation unit performs evaluation calculations to obtain the evaluation value.

[0013] The shared data presentation unit is further configured to present the evaluation values of other seated persons on the terminal device used by the seated person during the period when the current evaluation value is presented on the terminal device used by the seated person.

[0014] In the above-mentioned seat, the controller further includes a suggestion presentation unit configured to acquire suggestions on how to improve the evaluation value and present the suggestions on the terminal device used by the seated person, wherein the suggestions are based on the evaluation value.

[0015] With the above-mentioned seat, the sitter can refer to the suggestions on the terminal device and happily engage in increasing the evaluation value based on their physical condition.

[0016] In the above-mentioned seat, the controller preferably causes the evaluation value presentation unit and the shared data presentation unit to present the evaluation value and the evaluation values of other sitters on the terminal device used by the sitter in an easily comparable manner.

[0017] In the above-mentioned seat, the sitter's evaluation value and the evaluation values of other sitters are provided on the terminal device used by the sitter in an easily comparable presentation manner, so the sitter's enthusiasm can be further enhanced.

[0018] In the above-mentioned seat, the seat main body can be installed on a vehicle. In this case, the shared data acquisition unit is also used to obtain the evaluation values of other sitters from the physically condition-shareable seats installed on other vehicles.

[0019] With the above-mentioned seat, the sitter's enthusiasm is further enhanced by the presentation content presented on the terminal device used by the sitter, and the presentation content is the evaluation values of other sitters obtained from the physically condition-shareable seats installed on other vehicles.

[0020] When the seat main body is installed on a vehicle, the shared data acquisition unit is also used to obtain the average value of the evaluation values of the sitters and the evaluation values of other sitters of multiple physically condition-shareable seats in the vehicle, and the shared data presentation unit is also used to present the average value on the terminal device used by the sitter.

[0021] Based on these settings, the sitter can know their own evaluation value and the average value of the evaluation values of other sitters, and the enthusiasm of the sitter (using its function) can be further stimulated. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0036] Among them, there are controller 100, measurement value acquisition unit 111, processing unit 115, evaluation unit 121, evaluation value presentation unit 122, target value setting unit 131, target value presentation unit 132, completion degree calculation unit 141, completion degree presentation unit 142, suggestion presentation unit 151, console image presentation unit 155, shared data acquisition unit 161, shared data presentation unit 162, shared data transmission unit 163, communication unit 180, storage unit 190, automotive CR, sitter P, body condition - shareable seat S, seat cushion S1, seat backrest S2, smart phone SP, system SYS. Specific embodiments

[0037] The following elaborates on the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0038] As Figure 1As shown, take the vehicle seat S with body condition sharing function installed in the vehicle CR as an example. The vehicle CR provides two front seats and two rear seats; each of the four seats is set as the vehicle seat S with body condition sharing function. The vehicle CR uses an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) 3 to collect information from the four vehicle seats S with body condition sharing function, enabling the four vehicle seats S with body condition sharing function to cooperate with each other, and transmitting communication between the terminal device and the corresponding vehicle seat S with body condition sharing function. The terminal device is the terminal device used by the sitter P, such as the smart phone SP. The ECU (Electronic Control Unit) 3 and each vehicle seat S with body condition sharing function are connected by communication lines. To sum up, the vehicle CR includes the ECU 3 and multiple vehicle seats S with body condition sharing function, constituting a system SYS that applies the vehicle seat S with body condition sharing function.

[0039] As Figure 2 shown, the vehicle seat S with body condition sharing function includes a seat cushion S1 and a seat back S2 that constitute the seat body. Under the outer coverings of the seat cushion S1 and the seat back S2, there are multiple pressure sensors 8. For example, each pressure sensor 8 is used to obtain the measured values of the body condition of the sitter P on the seat body.

[0040] At an appropriate position on the seat cushion S1, there is a controller 100. The controller 100 is connected to the pressure sensor 8, enabling it to obtain the measured values from the pressure sensor 8. The controller 100 is connected to the ECU 3 through a communication line.

[0041] The ECU 3 has a near-field communication device 3A that can provide near-field communication, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (registered trademark), etc. The controller 100 can communicate with other devices through the ECU 3, such as communicating with other vehicle seats S with body condition sharing function.

[0042] As Figure 3 shown, the controller 100 includes a measured value acquisition unit 111, a processing unit 115, a communication unit 180, and a storage unit 190. The controller includes a CPU, ROM, RAM, rewritable non-volatile memory, etc.; each functional unit is implemented by executing a pre-stored program.

[0043] The measured value acquisition unit 111 has the function of obtaining the pressure measured values from the multiple pressure sensors 8 in each preset control cycle. The measured values obtained by the measured value acquisition unit 111 are stored in the storage unit 190 and used by the processing unit 115. The measured value acquisition unit 111 also has the function of presenting an image on the smart phone SP, which shows the current measurement in progress. For example, the image of the measurement in progress is formed based on the difference between the measured values obtained by each sensor 8 and the ideal pressure values set for the pressure sensors 8, as Figure 7As shown, this difference is presented in a color characteristic manner at a position corresponding to the pressure sensor 8. For example, an area with an ideal pressure value can be represented by green, an area where the measured value is less than the ideal pressure value can be represented by red, and an area where the measured value is greater than the ideal pressure value can be represented by blue.

[0044] As Figure 3 shown, the processing unit 115 includes an evaluation unit 121, an evaluation value presentation unit 122, a target value setting unit 131, a target value presentation unit 132, a completion degree calculation unit 141, a completion degree presentation unit 142, a suggestion presentation unit 151, a console image presentation unit 155, a shared data acquisition unit 161, a shared data presentation unit 162, and a shared data transmission unit 163.

[0045] The evaluation unit 121 has a function of calculating an evaluation value of the physical condition of the seated person P based on the measured value obtained by measuring with the pressure sensor 8. The calculation of the evaluation value of the physical condition of the seated person P can be performed by any suitable method. The evaluation unit 121 is also used to store the calculated evaluation value in the storage unit 190 in a timely manner. It should be understood that acquisition values, calculated values, set values, etc. can all be stored in the 190 storage unit in a timely manner; therefore, in the following description, the description of such storage steps will be omitted.

[0046] Here, the physical condition of the seated person is illustrated by the posture of a seated person, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The physical condition may include, for example: the body movement state of the seated person determined based on the measurement of the pressure sensor 8; the state of tension or drowsiness determined based on the heart rate; the state related to cardiovascular diseases; the state of body shape and posture; the health condition or state determined based on the body temperature; and other states.

[0047] To evaluate the posture of the seated person (the evaluation method will be described later), for example, when in an ideal sitting posture, the pressure distribution on each pressure sensor 8 (the relative magnitude between the measured values collected by each pressure sensor value 8) is stored in the storage unit 190 in advance. Then, by obtaining the difference between the measured value (pressure value) measured from each pressure sensor 8 and the pressure value of the pressure sensor 8 in the ideal sitting posture. Subtracting the sum of the above differences from a predetermined value (for example, 100), an evaluation value is obtained. In short, if the pressure distribution applied to each pressure sensor 8 is consistent with the ideal state, it can be evaluated as 100 points.

[0048] The evaluation value presentation unit 122 has a function of presenting the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation unit 121 on the terminal device smartphone SP used by the seated person. According to an exemplary embodiment, the data of the evaluation value is transmitted to the smartphone SP so as to present the evaluation value on the screen of the smartphone SP.

[0049] In this specification, the term "presentation" not only refers to presenting text and / or images on a screen such as a liquid crystal display, but also includes presenting in any recognizable way by the user. For example, it can also be prompted by voice. If the terminal device can be used to display Braille, it can be prompted by Braille.

[0050] The target value setting unit 131 has the function of setting a target value for the evaluation value of the seated person P. The target value setting unit 131 is used to set the target value. For example, based on the current evaluation value of the seated person P, the target value is set according to a certain ratio. In addition, an upper limit (such as 100) can be set for the target value.

[0051] The target value presentation unit 132 has the function of presenting the target value set by the target value setting unit 131 on the smartphone SP.

[0052] The completion degree calculation unit 141 has the function of calculating the completion degree relative to the target value based on the evaluation values calculated by the evaluation unit 121 before and after the presentation of the target value. For example, the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation unit 121 after the presentation of the target value can be divided by the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation unit 121 before the presentation of the target value to obtain the completion degree.

[0053] The completion degree presentation unit 142 has the function of presenting the completion degree calculated by the completion degree calculation unit 141 on the smartphone SP.

[0054] The suggestion presentation unit 151 has the function of collecting and presenting on the smartphone SP suggestions on how to improve the evaluation value, and the suggestions are determined based on the current evaluation value of the seated person. These suggestions and the corresponding evaluation values can be pre-stored in the storage unit 190 after being associated with each other. In addition to the evaluation value, the pressure distribution of the pressure sensor 8 and the corresponding suggestions can also be stored in the storage unit 190. The time for presenting the suggestions can be set as needed, and the present invention does not limit it.

[0055] The console image presentation unit 155 has the function of presenting a console image on the smartphone SP, and the console image includes function selection buttons for implementing the functions of physical condition measurement and sharing.

[0056] The shared data acquisition unit 161 has the function of acquiring the evaluation values of other seated persons and the completion degrees of other seated persons. The evaluation values of other seated persons are the evaluation values based on the physical conditions of other seated persons; the completion degrees of other seated persons refer to the completion degrees of another seated person. Other seated persons refer to those who previously sat on the seat with shareable physical conditions or those who are currently sitting on other seats with shareable physical conditions.

[0057] The other occupant evaluation values obtained by the shared data acquisition unit 161 can be the evaluation values obtained by the evaluation unit 121 of the body-condition-sharable seat S, or the evaluation values obtained by other body-condition-sharable seats S. When the evaluation values of other occupants are obtained from the evaluation unit 121 of the body-condition-sharable seat S, the shared data acquisition unit 161 can obtain the same evaluation values from the storage unit 190. When the evaluation values of other occupants are obtained from other body-condition-sharable seats S, the shared data acquisition unit 161 can obtain the same evaluation values through the ECU 3.

[0058] The completion degree of other occupants obtained by the shared data acquisition unit 161 can be obtained from the completion degree calculation unit 141 of the body-condition-sharable seat S, or can be obtained from other body-condition-sharable seats S. When the completion degree of other occupants is obtained from the completion degree calculation unit 141 of the body-condition-sharable seat S, the shared data acquisition unit 161 can obtain the same completion degree from the storage unit 190. When the completion degree of other occupants is obtained from other body-condition-sharable seats S, the shared data acquisition unit 161 can obtain the same completion degree through the ECU 3.

[0059] The shared data acquisition unit 161 also has the function of obtaining the average value of the occupant evaluation values and the other occupant evaluation values of multiple body-condition-sharable seats S in the vehicle CR. In this embodiment, the average value of the occupant evaluation values and the other occupant evaluation values is stored in the ECU 3, and the shared data acquisition unit 161 is set to obtain the average value from the ECU 3. Thus, it can be understood that the average value of the occupant evaluation values and the other occupant evaluation values is the average value of the evaluation values calculated among multiple body-condition-sharable seats S in the vehicle CR, and the body-condition-sharable seat S is connected to the ECU 3. This average value can be the average value of the evaluation values of all the occupants P currently sitting in the vehicle CR, or can be the average value of all the evaluation values calculated among multiple body-condition-sharable seats S in the vehicle CR so far. In this embodiment, for example, the average value refers to the average value of the evaluation values of all the occupants P currently sitting in the vehicle CR.

[0060] The shared data presentation unit 162 has the function of presenting the other occupant evaluation values and / or the other occupant completion degree on the smartphone SP used by the occupant P. In this embodiment, the shared data presentation unit 162 is used to present both the other occupant evaluation values and the other occupant completion degree on the smartphone SP.

[0061] The shared data presentation unit 162 also has the function of presenting the average value of the occupant evaluation values and the other occupant evaluation values on the smartphone SP.

[0062] Further, the shared data presentation unit 162 is also used to present the evaluation values of other seated persons on the smartphone SP used by the seated person P before the target value presentation unit 132 presents the target value.

[0063] The shared data presentation unit 162 is also used to present the evaluation values of other seated persons on the terminal device used by the seated person P after the completion calculation unit 141 calculates the completion degree.

[0064] The shared data presentation unit 162 is further used to present the evaluation values of other seated persons on the smartphone SP used by the seated person P during the measurement by the pressure sensor 8 to obtain the measurement value and the calculation of the evaluation value by the evaluation unit 121.

[0065] The shared data presentation unit 162 is further used to present the evaluation values of other seated persons on the smartphone SP used by the seated person P during the presentation of the current evaluation value. At this time, the shared data presentation unit 162 and the evaluation value presentation unit 122 operate in coordination with each other to present the evaluation value and the evaluation values of other seated persons on the smartphone SP used by the seated person P in a way that is easy to compare.

[0066] The comparison and presentation method of the seated person's evaluation value and the evaluation values of other seated persons can be arbitrarily selected without limitation. For example, the seated person's evaluation value and the evaluation values of other seated persons can be arranged side by side on the same screen for easy comparison. Optionally, the graph of the seated person's evaluation value changing over time and the graph of the evaluation values of other seated persons changing over time are superimposed for comparison.

[0067] The shared data transmission unit 163 has the function of transmitting the data of the body condition - shareable seat S obtained by itself, such as measurement values, evaluation values, target values, completion degrees, etc., to the ECU 3. This enables sharing of these data among multiple body condition - shareable seats through the ECU 3.

[0068] The communication unit 180 has the function of communicating with other devices.

[0069] The storage unit 190 has the function of storing necessary data for performing calculations and processing when needed.

[0070] On the other hand, the ECU 3 includes an average value calculation unit 31, a data accumulation unit 33, a data supply unit 34, an in - vehicle communication unit 38, and a storage unit 39.

[0071] The average value calculation unit 31 has the function of calculating the average value of all evaluation values calculated in multiple body condition - shareable seats S in the vehicle CR, and the body condition - shareable seats S are connected to the ECU 3.

[0072] The data accumulation unit 33 has the function of accumulating data transmitted from each body-condition shareable seat S and stores it in the storage unit 39.

[0073] The data supply unit 34 has the function of, in response to requests issued by each body-condition shareable seat S, sending the data stored in the storage unit 39 to the corresponding body-condition shareable seat S.

[0074] The in-vehicle communication unit 38 has the function of communicating with multiple body-condition shareable seats connected to the ECU 3 in the vehicle CR. The ECU 3 is set to communicate with the controller 100 through the in-vehicle communication unit 38.

[0075] The ECU 3 acts as a medium through which communication between the controller 100 and the smartphone SP is established via the near-field communication device 3A; for example, through the ECU 3, instructions issued by the controller 100 for presenting various types of data are transmitted to the smartphone SP, and control signals from the smartphone SP are transmitted to the controller 100.

[0076] The storage unit 39 has the function of storing data from each body-condition shareable seat S, the mean value from the mean value calculation unit 31, and so on.

[0077] Applications (programs) compatible with the body-condition shareable seat are installed in the smartphone SP. These applications are used to trigger screen displays to present specific data according to instructions given by the body-condition shareable seat S. The smartphone SP is used to provide a selection interface on which functions executable in the body-condition shareable seat S are provided according to instructions given by the controller 100.

[0078] Examples of the operation process of the above controller 100 and examples of screen transitions of the smartphone SP will be referred to Figures 4 to 12 for explanation.

[0079] As Figure 4 shown, after the function of the body-condition shareable seat S is activated and the application in the smartphone SP is started, a boot interface SC1 is presented (S101, see details in Figure 6 ). The boot interface SC1 shows a start button B1; if the sitter presses the start button B1, the process will proceed to step S102.

[0080] If the controller 100 receives a signal that the start button B1 has been pressed, the measurement value acquisition unit 111 obtains a measurement value from each pressure sensor 8 (S102). The measurement value acquisition unit 111 will present an interface SC2 on the smartphone SP such as Figure 7 shown, indicating that the measurement is in progress.

[0081] Then, when the measurement of a certain duration ends, the evaluation unit 121 calculates an evaluation value based on the measurement values, and the evaluation value presentation unit 122 presents an evaluation value presentation interface SC3 (S103) as shown in Figure 8 on the smartphone SP.

[0082] Furthermore, the shared data acquisition unit 161 acquires the evaluation values and the average values of other seated persons (S104), and the shared data presentation unit 162 presents the evaluation values and the average values of other seated persons on the Figure 8 evaluation value presentation interface SC3 (S105).

[0083] In this way, the shared data presentation unit 162 presents the evaluation value and the evaluation values of other seated persons in an easy-to-compare manner.

[0084] The console image presentation unit 155 presents a "training project in-vehicle interaction" selection button B2 and a "one-person solo training project" selection button B3 on the evaluation value presentation interface SC3 for the selection of training projects, and also presents an end button B4 (S105).

[0085] After that, the controller 100 waits for the selection of a project until it receives a relevant signal from the smartphone SP (S110). If the seated person P selects the end button B4, then this process ends. On the other hand, if the seated person P selects the "training project in-vehicle interaction" training project or the "one-person solo training project" training project, the console image presentation unit 155 will present an image corresponding to the selected training project. For example, if the seated person P selects the "one-person solo training project", the participant selection interface SC4 will be presented, as shown in Figure 9 which provides available options for the participants. Under this interface prompt, the seated person P can select the participants and press the button B5 to advance the process of the controller 100.

[0086] If the controller 100 receives a signal indicating that the continue button B5 has been pressed, the target value setting unit 131 sets a target value corresponding to the training project, and the target value presentation unit 132 presents this target value on the smartphone SP, as shown in Figure 10 (S111, target value presentation interface SC5). The advice presentation unit 151 acquires advice (tips) based on the evaluation value of the physical condition of the seated person P and presents the advice (tips) on the target value presentation interface SC5 (S112).

[0087] After the controller 100 receives a signal indicating that the start button B11 has been pressed, the controller 100 executes the training project.

[0088] For example, as shown inFigure 5 As shown, first, the measurement value acquisition unit 111 obtains measurement values from the pressure sensor 8 (S201), and presents an image of "Measurement in progress" on the training interface SC6 as shown. In the image of "Measurement in progress", the difference between each measurement value and its ideal value is represented by color (S202). Then, the evaluation unit 121 calculates an evaluation value (S203), and the shared data acquisition unit 161 obtains the evaluation values of other seated persons through the ECU 3 (S204). The evaluation value presentation unit 122 presents the current evaluation value on the training interface SC6 as shown. The shared data presentation unit 162 presents the current evaluation values of other seated persons on the training interface SC6 (S205). Specifically, during the period when the shared data presentation unit 162 measures the measurement values of the seated person P by the pressure sensor 8 and the evaluation unit 121 calculates the evaluation value, not only the evaluation values of other seated persons are presented, but also the evaluation values of other seated persons are presented on the smartphone SP used by the seated person P during the period when the current evaluation value is presented on the smartphone SP used by the seated person P. Figure 11 As shown, first, the measurement value acquisition unit 111 obtains measurement values from the pressure sensor 8 (S201), and presents an image of "Measurement in progress" on the training interface SC6 as shown. In the image of "Measurement in progress", the difference between each measurement value and its ideal value is represented by color (S202). Then, the evaluation unit 121 calculates an evaluation value (S203), and the shared data acquisition unit 161 obtains the evaluation values of other seated persons through the ECU 3 (S204). The evaluation value presentation unit 122 presents the current evaluation value on the training interface SC6 as shown. The shared data presentation unit 162 presents the current evaluation values of other seated persons on the training interface SC6 (S205). Specifically, during the period when the shared data presentation unit 162 measures the measurement values of the seated person P by the pressure sensor 8 and the evaluation unit 121 calculates the evaluation value, not only the evaluation values of other seated persons are presented, but also the evaluation values of other seated persons are presented on the smartphone SP used by the seated person P during the period when the current evaluation value is presented on the smartphone SP used by the seated person P. Figure 11 As shown, first, the measurement value acquisition unit 111 obtains measurement values from the pressure sensor 8 (S201), and presents an image of "Measurement in progress" on the training interface SC6 as shown. In the image of "Measurement in progress", the difference between each measurement value and its ideal value is represented by color (S202). Then, the evaluation unit 121 calculates an evaluation value (S203), and the shared data acquisition unit 161 obtains the evaluation values of other seated persons through the ECU 3 (S204). The evaluation value presentation unit 122 presents the current evaluation value on the training interface SC6 as shown. The shared data presentation unit 162 presents the current evaluation values of other seated persons on the training interface SC6 (S205). Specifically, during the period when the shared data presentation unit 162 measures the measurement values of the seated person P by the pressure sensor 8 and the evaluation unit 121 calculates the evaluation value, not only the evaluation values of other seated persons are presented, but also the evaluation values of other seated persons are presented on the smartphone SP used by the seated person P during the period when the current evaluation value is presented on the smartphone SP used by the seated person P.

[0089] By viewing the training interface SC6, the seated person P can try to adjust his / her posture until all the areas corresponding to the pressure sensor 8 finally turn green in the "Measurement in progress" image (seat image) to perform effective sitting posture correction training.

[0090] The training interface SC6 also presents a counter for the remaining training time provided by the console image presentation unit 155.

[0091] The controller 100 determines whether a preset duration has elapsed (S210). If the preset duration has not elapsed, it continues to execute S201 to S205 until the preset duration has elapsed (No, S210). If the preset duration has elapsed (Yes, S210), then the training item ends.

[0092] As shown Figure 4 As shown, after step S200, the measurement value acquisition unit 111 obtains measurement values from the pressure sensor 8 (S121). At this time, the measurement value acquisition unit 111 presents as shown Figure 7In the "Measurement in Progress" interface SC2 shown, the evaluation unit 121 calculates an evaluation value and a completion degree based on the measured values obtained after training (S122). The evaluation value presentation unit 122 presents the evaluation value on the smartphone SP; the completion degree presentation unit 142 presents the completion degree on the smartphone SP; the shared data acquisition unit 161 obtains the evaluation values of other seated persons and the completion degrees of other seated persons through the ECU3; the shared data presentation unit 162 presents the evaluation values of other seated persons and the completion degrees of other seated persons on the smartphone SP (S123). Correspondingly, a completion degree presentation interface after training will be presented on the smartphone SP, such as Figure 12 the completion degree presentation interface SC7 shown. On the completion degree presentation interface SC7, the suggestions determined according to the evaluation values obtained by the seated person P after training will be presented by the suggestion presentation unit 151. If the seated person P presses the end button B12 on the interface, then the processes of the application program of the smartphone SP and the controller 100 end.

[0093] In addition, under the prompt of the evaluation value presentation interface SC3, the seated person P can select, for example, the "One Person's Solo Training Project" training project. In this case, the participant selection interface SC4 as shown in Figure 9 may not be presented during the process, and instead, the training interface SC6 is further presented. The training interface SC6 is similar to the interface shown in Figure 11 but does not include the evaluation values of other seated persons. Immediately afterwards, the completion degree presentation interface SC7 is also presented. The completion degree presentation interface SC7 is similar to the interface shown in Figure 12 but does not include the completion degrees of other seated persons, and / or uses the previously calculated completion degrees of other seated persons to replace them.

[0094] Through the settings in the above embodiments, in the body condition - shareable seat S and its system SYS, the seated person P is informed not only of his / her own evaluation value in terms of body condition, but also of the evaluation values of other seated persons. Therefore, it can be foreseen that after being informed of the evaluation values of other seated persons or the possibility that his / her own evaluation value is known to others, this can arouse the enthusiasm of the seated person to improve his / her evaluation value. In addition, sharing evaluation values with others should be interesting. Therefore, the enthusiasm of the seated person to use the body condition evaluation feature can be enhanced.

[0095] With the body condition - shareable seat S and its system SYS in the current embodiment, not only the completion degree of the body condition of the sitter himself / herself, but also that of other sitters can be known. Therefore, after being informed of the possibility that the completion degree of other sitters or his / her own evaluation level is known to others, it can be foreseen that this can arouse the sitter's enthusiasm to improve the evaluation level. In addition, sharing the evaluation level with others should be interesting. Therefore, the sitter's enthusiasm for using the body condition evaluation feature can be enhanced.

[0096] In addition, the sitter P can refer to the suggestions provided on the smartphone SP and happily focus on increasing the evaluation value of the body condition. Moreover, the body condition - shareable seat S also has the function of providing the sitter P's evaluation value and other sitters' evaluation values to the smartphone SP used by the sitter in an easily comparable form; thus, the sitter's enthusiasm can be further enhanced.

[0097] Meanwhile, through the body condition - shareable seat S, the sitter P knows the average value of the sitter's evaluation value and other sitters' evaluation values, thereby further enhancing the sitter P's enthusiasm.

[0098] Although an exemplary embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above - mentioned embodiment. Without departing from the gist of the present invention, the specific configuration can be appropriately modified.

[0099] For example, the body condition - shareable seat S and the system SYS can be set according to Figure 13 another embodiment shown, so that the body condition information is shared among multiple vehicles CR through the server 4. In this system SYS, the ECU 3 has an Internet communication device 3B and thus can establish data communication with the server 4 through the Internet. The ECU 3 also includes a data transmission unit 35 and an other - sitter data acquisition unit 36.

[0100] The data transmission unit 35 has the function of transmitting various data obtained from the body condition - shareable seat S belonging to it and installed in the vehicle CR to the server 4.

[0101] The other - sitter data acquisition unit 36 has the function of, in response to the request of the body condition - shareable seat S, obtaining the body condition data of other sitters from the server 4, which are obtained by the server 4 from other vehicles CR.

[0102] Among them, each physical condition can share the shared data acquisition unit 161 in the seat S, which is used to obtain other sitter evaluation values and / or the completion degrees of other sitters from the physically condition - shareable seats S installed on other vehicles CR. More specifically, the shared data acquisition unit 161 obtains the evaluation values and completion degrees of other sitters from the server 4 through the ECU 3. With this setting, the sitter P can understand the evaluation values of other sitters and the completion degrees of other sitters, including not only other sitters in the vehicle where the sitter P is located, but also sitters in other vehicles. Therefore, presenting on the smartphone SP used by the sitter P the evaluation values of other sitters obtained from other physically condition - shareable seats S installed in any other vehicle can effectively further enhance the motivation of the sitter P.

[0103] In the above - mentioned embodiment, the terminal device is taken as the smartphone SP as an example, but the terminal device can also be an in - vehicle terminal located in the vehicle CR. It should also be understood that the screen is not essential; another feasible configuration of the terminal device can be to set a microphone and a speaker on the terminal to allow receiving instructions of the physically condition - shareable seat S by voice and presenting information in voice form.

[0104] In the above - mentioned embodiment, the shared data presentation unit 162 is used to present the evaluation values of other sitters and the completion degrees of other sitters on the terminal at the same time. However, it can also be set to only present the completion degrees of other sitters without presenting the evaluation values of other sitters.

[0105] In the above - mentioned embodiment, the physically condition - shareable seat is taken as an example of a seat installed on a vehicle, but it can also be a seat installed on a vehicle other than an automobile, or a seat installed at home, in a public facility, or any other non - vehicle location.

[0106] Any element related to the exemplary embodiments and modification examples in this specification can be implemented in any combination as actually required.

[0107] It should be noted that the above - mentioned embodiments illustrate the present invention rather than limit the present invention, and those skilled in the art can design alternative embodiments without departing from the scope of the appended claims. In the claims, any reference signs placed between parentheses shall not be construed as limiting the claims.
