[0002] Chronic stress has become a major problem in contemporary society, especially among the working population. The increase in chronic stress brings numerous psychological and physiological health risks, including anxiety, depression, immune disorders, and cardiovascular problems. Therefore, effective management of negative stress is crucial for overall health.

[0003] Measuring biological data related to stress and providing feedback to users has been recognized as helpful to promote self-analysis and reflection on daily experiences, so as to timely discover and manage stress sources. Therefore, biological data feedback systems focusing on stress-related indicators have received extensive attention.

[0004] At present, the data feedback system based on stress mainly relies on visual feedback. For example, ClockViz visually presents different levels of collective stress through static or dynamic superimposed projection. Affective Health encourages stress management by visualizing users' biological data in a spiral design. However, most of the current biological data feedback is limited to screen display, usually requiring complex equipment and professional settings, making it difficult to promote application in daily office environment. In contrast, integrating data presentation into the physical world and utilizing the tangible properties of entities can better arouse people's multi-sensory participation. Data physicalization representation can enhance user interaction with data, making data more accessible.

[0005] In addition, the Pomodoro timer as a time management tool helps improve work efficiency and concentration by dividing work time into multiple focused time periods and rest periods.

[0049] The height of the liquid column is inversely proportional to the average stress of the user in the tomato clock The greater the stress the user bears, the higher the water level in the corresponding test tube; in order to further amplify the pressure change at high and medium stress levels, so that the user can more clearly perceive the fluctuations in his own stress, the response of the liquid column height to the pressure change is more significant at high and medium stress levels; the relationship between the height of the liquid surface H in the liquid column and the average stress in the tomato clock is expressed as:

[0050]

[0051] wherein HRV min1 , HRV min2 , HRV min3 represent the minimum value of the user's HRV in different stress intervals, HRV max1 , HRV max2 , HRV max3 represent the maximum value of the user's HRV in different stress intervals, H min1 , H min2 , H min3 represent the minimum value of the liquid surface height in different intervals, H max1 , H max2 , H max3 represent the maximum value of the liquid surface height.

Then, a start signal is simultaneously sent to the water supply pump and the solenoid valve connected to the target controlled test tube. The pump starts supplying water, and the solenoid valve opens to allow water to flow into the system. During the water supply process, the control module monitors the changes in water flow and pressure values ​​in real time to ensure the stability and accuracy of the water supply process. If any abnormality occurs, the controller will adjust the water supply time or shut down the water supply equipment in a timely manner. When the water supply time T is reached, the control module immediately sends a shut-off signal to the water supply pump and the solenoid valve to stop the water supply and close the solenoid valve, completing one water supply cycle. The water flow control module can recover the water in the test tube to the water storage tank through water flow backflow.

If an abnormality is detected during the backflow process, the control module will automatically adjust the backflow rate or suspend the backflow operation. When the water volume in the system returns to the preset initial level, the controller will send a close signal to the backflow water pump and the electromagnetic valve to stop the backflow water pump and close the electromagnetic valve, completing the backflow process.

[0067] The logic of the audio control module is:

[0068] According to the average pressure value in the Pomodoro clock transmitted by the Pomodoro clock reminder and pressure feedback module, the audio control module selects the corresponding audio file from the preset audio file library and sends an audio playback instruction to the micro sound, adjusts the audio playback in real time to match the change of the liquid column height. The audio files in the audio file library are divided into celebration music and relaxation music.

[0069] If a rest time termination signal is received from the Pomodoro clock reminder and pressure feedback module, an audio playback instruction is sent to the micro sound to play the termination rest audio.

[0070] The logic of the light control module is:

[0071] According to the average pressure value and real-time pressure value in the Pomodoro clock transmitted by the Pomodoro clock reminder and pressure feedback module, the corresponding pressure level is calculated, and the light color corresponding to the pressure level is determined. The corresponding light strip changes color.

When the user's real-time stress state is at a low stress or no stress state, the lateral light strip on the base stops flashing.

[0134] Specifically, the determination method of the real-time stress state is as follows:

[0135] If the user's real-time stress value HRV n is less than the first threshold value, the stress state is determined to be high stress; if it is greater than or equal to the first threshold value and less than the second threshold value, the stress state is determined to be low stress; if it is greater than or equal to the second threshold value, the stress state is determined to be no stress, wherein the first threshold value is less than the second threshold value. In this example, the first threshold value is set to 50 milliseconds, and the second threshold value is set to 100 milliseconds.

[0136] The data physicalization control module is driven by the calculation results of the stress state and time calculation module, and realizes the color change of the liquid column height, the ring light strip and the lateral light strip on the base through circuit control electronic elements, thereby controlling the tomato clock reminder and stress feedback module, real-time stress feedback adjustment module.

[0137] Specifically, the data physicalization control module includes: a water flow control module, a light control module, and a sound screen control module.

[0138] Specifically, the water flow control module includes a water storage tank, a water supply pump, a flow divider, solenoid valves, and a backflow pump. The water supply pump is fixed to the bottom of the water storage tank, and the water supply pump and the flow divider are connected through a connecting water pipe. The flow divider has 13 outlets, and each outlet is connected to a solenoid valve through a connecting water pipe. Among them, 12 solenoid valves are connected to the test tubes of the tomato clock reminder and pressure feedback module through a connecting water pipe, and the 13th solenoid valve is connected to the inlet of the backflow pump. The outlet of the backflow pump is connected to the backflow water pipe. The water storage tank, the water inlet pipeline of the water supply pump, the water supply pump, the flow divider solenoid valve, the backflow pump, and the backflow water pipe form a circulating water circuit.

[0139] Specifically, the water supply control logic of the water flow control module is as follows:

[0140] According to the average pressure value in the tomato clock sent by the tomato clock reminder and pressure feedback module, the required water supply time T is calculated to ensure that the water supply meets the needs of the system. Then, a start signal is sent to the water supply pump and the solenoid valve connected to the target controlled test tube, the water pump starts to supply water, and the solenoid valve opens to allow water flow into the system. During the water supply process, the control module monitors the changes of water flow and pressure value in real time to ensure the stability and accuracy of the water supply process. If there is an abnormality, the controller will adjust the water supply time or shut down the water supply equipment in time. When the water supply time T reaches, the control module immediately sends a shutdown signal to the water supply pump and the solenoid valve to stop water supply and close the solenoid valve, completing a water supply cycle.

[0141] Specifically, the calculation method of the water supply time T is as follows:

[0142]

[0143] Where T is the water supply time required for the water pump and solenoid valve to run, V is the required water volume, r is the radius of the test tube bottom surface, and Q is the constant water pump flow rate.

[0144] Specifically, the water flow backflow control logic of the water flow control module is as follows:

[0145] The controller sends a start signal to the backflow pump and opens the backflow solenoid valve to pump water back to the water storage tank. During the backflow process, the controller continuously monitors the water volume and pressure value in the system to ensure the smooth progress of the backflow process. If an abnormality is detected during the backflow process, the control module will automatically adjust the backflow rate or suspend the backflow operation. When the water volume in the system returns to the preset initial level, the controller will send a shutdown signal to the backflow pump and the solenoid valve to stop the backflow pump and close the solenoid valve, completing the backflow process.

[0146] Specifically, the audio control module logic is as follows:

[0147] According to the average stress value in the Pomodoro clock transmitted by the Pomodoro clock reminding and stress feedback module, the audio control module selects the corresponding audio file from the preset audio file library, and sends an audio playing instruction to the micro sound box, and adjusts the audio playing in real time to match the change of the liquid column height. The audio files in the audio file library are divided into celebration music and relaxation music.

[0148] If the rest time termination signal is received, an audio playing instruction is sent to the micro sound box to play the rest termination audio.

[0149] Specifically, the light control module logic is:

[0150] According to the average stress value in the Pomodoro clock transmitted by the Pomodoro clock reminding and stress feedback module and the real-time stress value, the corresponding stress level is calculated, and the light color corresponding to the stress level is judged. The corresponding light belt is changed in color.

Abstract stress data is converted into tangible form through physical and visual elements and auditory elements: the Pomodoro clock is used to help the user improve work efficiency while monitoring and feeding back the user's physiological and psychological state. The user can intuitively understand his / her stress condition through visual and auditory signals at the end of each Pomodoro clock period, and can observe and analyze the stress change under different tasks through the physical form of real-time data. The design combining the Pomodoro clock enables the user not only to focus on work and improve work efficiency, but also to pay attention to his / her physical and mental health state in time; the real-time feedback mode corresponding one-to-one between the stress state, the stress size, the stress regulation guidance and the physical elements of the physical device overcomes the technical problems that the stress data feedback system is not intuitive enough and the data interaction is not strong enough, improves the user's perception experience of the real-time stress state and the stress state in different Pomodoro clocks during work, so that the user can intuitively perceive and manage his / her stress level; at the same time, with the help of the physical device, a novel and interesting real-time guided breathing process is designed, so as to achieve the technical effect of regulating stress.

The audio changes synchronously with the liquid column height to ensure the synchronization of the auditory and visual effects.

[0156] In addition, the real-time stress feedback adjustment module will calculate the real-time stress value HRV n physically present in the form of vision, while adjusting the user's real-time stress level.

The first stage is to let the user be in a natural relaxed state, measure the baseline heart rate value of each user, and then fill in the RSS and STAI questionnaires; the second stage stimulates the user to produce lower stress, and then fills in the Ruminative Thinking Scale (RSS) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI); the third stage lets the user relax freely, and then fills in the RSS and STAI questionnaires; the fourth stage stimulates the user to produce higher stress, and then fills in the RSS and STAI questionnaires; the fifth stage lets the user relax freely, and then fills in the RSS and STAI questionnaires; the sixth stage conducts a questionnaire interview on the user.
