[0024] The present invention is described below by way of the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. In addition, the structures described in the embodiments are not all necessary technical means for solving the problems. For the purpose of clear description, the following description and the accompanying drawings are appropriately omitted and simplified. In each of the accompanying drawings, the same symbols are marked for the same elements, and repeated descriptions are omitted as needed.

[0025] <Implementation method 1>

[0026] Figure 1 The block diagram shows a structural example of the motion state monitoring system 1 involved in the first embodiment. The motion state monitoring system 1 is a system for monitoring the motion state of the subject. Based on the monitoring result, a user such as a caregiver can implement support for making the motion of the subject closer to the desired motion. The following is a specific description.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the action state monitoring system 1 includes an action state monitoring device 10 and a plurality of measuring instruments 20. The action state monitoring device 10 can also be referred to as an action state monitoring system as a single unit. The action state monitoring device 10 and the plurality of measuring instruments 20 are configured to be able to communicate with each other via a wired or wireless network. In addition, the action state monitoring device 10 and the plurality of measuring instruments 20 can also perform wireless communication in accordance with the Bluetooth (registered trademark) standard, short-range wireless communication in accordance with NFC (Near field communication), UWB (Ultra Wideband), WiFi (registered trademark), etc. In this embodiment, the case where 11 measuring instruments 20 are set is used as an example for explanation. In the following, the 11 measuring instruments 20 are distinguished respectively, and are also referred to as measuring instruments 20_1 to 20_11.

[0028] The measuring instruments 20_1 to 20_11 are respectively worn at the parts p_1 to p_11 of the motion detection target among various parts of the body of the subject P, and use motion sensors (hereinafter referred to as sensors) 21_1 to 21_11 composed of gyro sensors and acceleration sensors to detect the motion of the parts p_1 to p_11. In addition, the measuring instruments 20_1 to 20_11 are respectively associated with the parts p1 to p_11 by pairing processing performed between the measuring instruments 20_1 to 20_11 and the motion state monitoring device 10.

[0029] The plurality of measuring instruments 20 may also include a light emitting unit capable of changing the color of light emitted. As the light emitting unit, for example, a full-color LED (Light Emitting Diode) may be used. As an example, the light emitting unit may have a structure in which a red LED chip, a green LED chip, and a blue LED chip are sealed by a light-transmitting resin. The light emitting unit can realize a variety of light emission colors by controlling the brightness of the three types of LED chips.

[0030] In addition, the plurality of sensors 21 may also include hardware other than the light emitting unit (eg, a speaker, a vibration motor, an odor emitting unit, a low frequency current generating device, electronic paper, a display, a thermoelectric element, a shape changing unit, etc.). The odor emitting unit includes, for example, fragrances and switches.

[0031] In addition, each measuring instrument 20 may also include a control unit that controls hardware such as LEDs. The control unit may also include a processor and a memory storing various control programs. In this case, the control unit has a function as a computer and executes processing based on various control programs.

[0032] Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the wearing target parts of the measuring instruments 20_1 to 20_11 worn on the body of the subject P. Figure 2 In the example of FIG. 1 , the wearing target parts p_1 to p_11 of the measuring instruments 20_1 to 20_11 are respectively the right upper arm, the right forearm, the head, the chest (trunk), the waist (pelvis), the left upper arm, the left forearm, the right thigh, the right calf, the left thigh, and the left calf. In addition, it is not necessary to wear all the measuring instruments 20_1 to 20_11 on the body of the subject P. Only the measuring instruments required for measuring the monitoring target action (including the movement of the part) that the user wants to monitor among the measuring instruments 20_1 to 20_11 are worn on the body of the subject P.

[0033] The monitored actions include, for example, right shoulder flexion and extension, right shoulder adduction and abduction, right shoulder internal and external rotation, right elbow flexion and extension, right forearm pronation and supination, head flexion and extension, head rotation, thoracolumbar flexion and extension, thoracolumbar rotation, thoracolumbar lateral flexion, left shoulder flexion and extension, left shoulder adduction and abduction, left shoulder internal and external rotation, left elbow flexion and extension, left forearm pronation and supination, etc. In addition, the monitored actions also include the movement of the part where the sensor is worn.

[0034] For example, the monitoring target action also includes angles of joints of the body of the subject P measured based on the detection results of multiple sensors, angles of joints in an arbitrary coordinate system measured based on the detection results of arbitrary sensors, etc. The monitoring target action can be specified by a user such as a caregiver.

[0035] Here, as an example, it is assumed that the right elbow flexion and extension movement of the subject P is monitored. The right elbow flexion and extension movement can be measured based on the detection results of the sensors worn on the right upper arm (part p1) and the right forearm (part p2). In this case, for example, two different measuring instruments are worn on the right upper arm (part p1) and the right forearm (part p2) of the subject P, respectively.

[0036] In addition, the user can also select different items of multiple monitoring target actions at the same time. For example, the user can also select "right elbow flexion and extension", "right shoulder internal and external rotation", or select "left elbow flexion and extension", "left shoulder internal and external rotation".

[0037] The right elbow flexion and extension movement can be measured based on the detection results of the sensors worn at the right upper arm (part p1) and the right forearm (part p2). Similarly, the right shoulder internal and external rotation movement can be measured based on the detection results of the sensors worn at the right upper arm (part p1) and the right forearm (part p2). In addition, the left elbow flexion and extension movement can be measured based on the detection results of the sensors worn at the left upper arm (part p6) and the left forearm (part p7). Similarly, the left shoulder internal and external rotation movement can be measured based on the detection results of the sensors worn at the left upper arm (part p6) and the left forearm (part p7).

[0038] (Configuration Example of Measuring Instruments 20_1 to 20_11)

[0039] Figure 3 20_1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the measuring device 20_1. Since the configurations of the measuring devices 20_2 to 20_11 are the same as those of the measuring device 20_1, their description will be omitted.

[0040] like Figure 3As shown, the measuring device 20_1 includes a sensor 21_1, a wearing pad 22_1, and a belt 23_1. The belt 23_1 is formed so as to be able to be wrapped around the motion detection target part of the subject P. The sensor 21_1 is, for example, incorporated into the wearing pad 22_1. The wearing pad 22_1 in which the sensor 21_1 is incorporated is formed on the belt 23_1 in a detachable manner.

[0041] Hardware such as LEDs may be mounted on, for example, the wearing pad 22_1 or the belt 23_1 .

[0042] Figure 4 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a method of wearing the measuring instrument 20_1 on the subject P. Figure 4 In the example of FIG. 1 , the belt 23_1 is wrapped around the right upper arm (part p1) of one of the motion detection target parts of the subject P. The sensor 21_1 is attached to the belt 23_1 via the wearing pad 22_1 after the correspondence establishment process and calibration are completed.

[0043] (Configuration Example of Operation Status Monitoring Device 10)

[0044] The action state monitoring device 10 is a device that outputs a calculation result representing the action state of the subject P based on the detection results (detection values) of the sensors 21_1 to 21_11. The action state monitoring device 10 may be, for example, a PC (Personal Computer), a mobile phone terminal, a smart phone, and a tablet terminal. The action state monitoring device 10 is configured to be able to communicate with the sensors 21_1 to 21_11 via a network not shown. The action state monitoring device 10 can also be called an action state monitoring system. The action state monitoring device 10 may also include a processor and a memory storing various control programs. In this case, the action state monitoring device 10 has a function as a computer and performs processing based on various control programs, etc.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the operation status monitoring device 10 includes a display unit 11 , a control unit 12 , a receiving unit 13 , and a processing unit 14 .

[0046] The display unit 11 is, for example, a display device, and displays a plurality of sensor icons corresponding to the plurality of sensors 21_1 to 21_11, respectively. Figure 5 , an example of a display screen S displayed on the display unit 11 is shown. An area in the display screen S where sensor icons are displayed is referred to as a sensor icon display area S1. The display screen including the sensor icon display area S1 includes a human body schematic diagram S2 showing a portion of a subject where the sensor is to be worn. Figure 5The display screen S shown is displayed when a process of establishing a one-to-one correspondence relationship between any sensor among the plurality of sensors 21 and any part of the part p of the subject P to be worn is executed.

[0047] exist Figure 5 In the illustrated example, the front side and the back side of the human body are separately displayed. Figure 2 The parts p1 to p11 of the wearing object of the subject P are respectively Figure 5 The p_1 to p_11 of the human body schematic diagram S2 correspond to each other. Hereinafter, as required, the p_1 to p_11 of the human body schematic diagram S2 are referred to as the right upper arm, the right forearm, the head, the back (trunk), the waist (pelvis), the left upper arm, the left forearm, the right thigh, the right calf, the left thigh, and the left calf, respectively. In addition, the display unit 11 can display the calculation results based on the detection results of each of the more than one sensors in a graphical form, for example.

[0048] The control unit 12 causes the display unit 11 to display a plurality of sensor icons. The control unit 12 may cause the display modes (e.g., colors) of the plurality of sensor icons to be different from each other. For example, the following mode may be adopted, namely, Figure 5 The display color of the sensor icon i21_1 is red, the display color of the sensor icon i21_2 is blue, the display color of the sensor icon i21_3 is yellow, the display color of the sensor icon i21_4 is green, and the display color of the sensor icon i21_5 is light blue. The display color may also be the color of the outer frame (e.g., rounded quadrilateral) of the sensor icon.

[0049] In addition, the control unit 12 may change the display mode (e.g., color, shape) of the sensor icon selected by the tapping operation or the like. For example, the display color of the selected sensor icon may flash. In addition, the selected sensor icon may be changed to an icon indicating that the measuring instrument is outputting sound, or to an icon indicating that the measuring instrument is vibrating. The control unit 12 may also perform both processing of making the colors of the plurality of sensor icons different from each other and processing of changing the display mode of the selected sensor icon.

[0050] The control unit 12 causes the corresponding multiple measuring instruments to perform different actions according to the display mode of the multiple sensor icons. Specifically, the control unit 12 controls the action of outputting any one of sound, text, vibration, movement, light, smell, current, image and heat for notifying the surrounding of the measuring instrument. The control unit 12 can also perform processing to make the display color of each sensor icon the same as the luminous color of the light-emitting unit provided in the measuring instrument corresponding to the sensor icon. The user can select a sensor with the same luminous color as the display color of the sensor icon, and confirm the human body schematic diagram S2, and actually wear it at the part p of the wearing object of the subject P. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the sensor from being worn incorrectly. The control unit 12 can also send information indicating the luminous color of the luminous unit of the sensor to each sensor.

[0051] The control unit 12 may also cause the measuring instrument corresponding to the sensor icon selected by the user's tapping operation and other measuring instruments to perform different actions. The control unit 12 changes the display mode (e.g., color, flashing, shadow, etc.) of the selected sensor icon, and causes the measuring instrument corresponding to the selected sensor icon to perform a predetermined action. The predetermined action may be an action to flash an LED. The predetermined action may also be an action to output a voice from the measuring instrument, or an action to vibrate the measuring instrument by a vibration motor, etc. The predetermined action may also be an action to emit an odor from the measuring instrument by opening a switch disposed between the fragrance and the external air. The predetermined action may also be an action to supply a low-frequency current to a conductive material provided on a belt, etc. of the measuring instrument. The predetermined action may also be an action to display arbitrary text information or image information on a display or electronic paper installed on the measuring instrument. The predetermined action may also be an action to operate a thermoelectric element to generate heat. In the case where the pad, belt, etc. of the measuring instrument are configured to be able to change shape, the predetermined action may also be an action to change the shape of the belt, etc.

[0052] In order to establish a correspondence between the sensor 21 and the part p of the wearer, the user selects the above-mentioned multiple sensor icons. The acceptance unit 13 accepts a setting action for the sensor icon displayed on the display unit 11. The setting action refers to an input action for the sensor icon for establishing a correspondence between the sensor corresponding to the sensor icon and any one of the parts p of the wearer. For example, the user moves the sensor icon i21_1 displayed on the sensor icon display area S1 to the right upper arm p_1 on the human body schematic diagram S2. Specifically, the user drags and drops the sensor icon i21_1 displayed on the sensor icon display area S1 to the right upper arm p_1 of the human body schematic diagram S2 through mouse operation or touch operation. The setting action is performed by Figure 5In this way, the receiving unit 13 receives the user's setting operation for the sensor icon.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 The processing unit 14 establishes a correspondence relationship between the sensor corresponding to the sensor icon and the wearing object part of the subject P according to the set operation. The correspondence establishment process is performed in the following manner, that is, pairing is performed between the action state monitoring device 10 and the sensor 21 in advance, and the identification information of the wearing object part p and the identification information of the sensor 21 are associated with each other on the application of the action state monitoring device 10.

[0054] The operation state monitoring system 1 according to the first embodiment can prevent a situation in which it is difficult to distinguish which sensor a sensor icon on the display unit corresponds to.

[0055] In addition, the setting action is not limited to drag and drop. The setting action can be any operation input for the displayed wearing position. The user can also click the sensor icon displayed in the sensor icon display area S1 and the wearing target part of the human body schematic diagram S2 within a predetermined time, so that the receiving unit 13 accepts the setting action.

[0056] Alternatively, the user may click on the wearable part of the human body diagram S2 to cause the accepting unit 13 to accept the setting operation. The processing unit 14 can automatically establish a correspondence between any one of the sensors corresponding to the plurality of sensor icons displayed on the display unit 11 and the wearable part p of the subject P according to the setting operation.

[0057] (Operation of the Operation Status Monitoring Device 10)

[0058] Next, use Figure 6 , the operation of the operation status monitoring device 10 is described. Figure 6 : is a flowchart showing the operation of the motion state monitoring device 10. As described above, it is assumed that the state monitoring device 10 monitors the right elbow flexion and extension of the subject P. That is, the subject P wears sensors on the right upper arm (part p1) and right forearm (part p2).

[0059] First, the operating state monitoring device 10 causes the display unit 11 to display a plurality of sensor icons i21_1 to i21_11 corresponding to a plurality of measuring instruments, respectively ( S11 ).

[0060] On the display unit 11, the following is displayed: Figure 5 The display screen shown includes a sensor icon display area S1 and a human body schematic diagram S2 showing the wearing object's parts.

[0061] In addition, when the user specifies the monitoring target action of the subject P, the display unit 11 can display the wear target part of the sensor used to measure the specified monitoring target action. The display unit 11 of the action state monitoring device 10 can set the right upper arm p1 and the right forearm p2 to be displayed differently from the other parts p3 to p11 on the human body schematic diagram S2 and highlight them. That is, Figure 5 In the human body schematic diagram S2, the right upper arm p1 and the right forearm p2 can be displayed differently from the other parts p3 to p11.

[0062] Then, the control unit 12 causes the corresponding plurality of measuring instruments to perform different actions according to the display modes of the plurality of sensor icons (S12). The control unit 12 may cause the display modes (e.g., colors) of the plurality of sensor icons to be different from each other, and cause the corresponding measuring instruments to perform actions corresponding to the display modes (e.g., emitting light of the same luminous color as the display color of the sensor icon). In addition, the control unit 12 may change the display mode (e.g., color, shape) of the selected sensor icon, and cause the sensor corresponding to the selected sensor icon to perform a predetermined action (e.g., voice output).

[0063] Then, in the action state monitoring device 10, the user drags and drops, for example, one sensor icon i21_1 from among the sensor icons i21_1 to i21_11 displayed in the sensor icon display area S1 to the right upper arm p_1 of the human body schematic diagram S2. As a result, the accepting unit 13 accepts the setting operation (S13).

[0064] Thereafter, the action status monitoring device 10 establishes an association between the identification information of the sensor 21_1 corresponding to the sensor icon i21_1 and the identification information of the right upper arm (part p1) of the wearer of the subject P according to the set action. Thus, the correspondence establishment process (S14) between the sensor 21_1 and the right upper arm (part p1) of the subject P is implemented. In addition, for other wearer parts (right forearm (part p2)), the dragging and dropping of the sensor icon i21_2 and the correspondence establishment process between the sensor 21_2 and the right forearm (part p2) of the subject are also implemented. That is, Figure 6 S12 and S13 in the above steps can be repeatedly performed according to the number of parts of the subject where the wearing object is worn.

[0065] After establishing the correspondence between sensor 21_1 and wearing object part p1, and between sensor 21_2 and wearing object part p2, respectively, next, calibration of sensors 21_1 and 21_2 for measuring the movement of the monitoring object is performed (S15). Calibration refers to, for example, measuring the output value (error component) of the sensor used in the measurement of the movement of the monitoring object in a stationary state and subtracting the error component from the measured value. In this example, at least calibration of sensors 21_1 and 21_2 is performed. However, calibration is not limited to the case where it is performed on sensors for measuring the movement of the monitoring object, and for example, it can also be performed on all sensors 21_1 to 21_11 before the display processing of the sensor icon corresponding to the paired sensor.

[0066] After the calibration is completed, the sensors 21_1 and 21_2 are attached to the subject P ( S16 ). Thereafter, based on the detection results of the sensors 21_1 and 21_2 , the motion of the monitoring target is measured ( S17 ).

[0067] The calculation result indicating the action state of "right elbow flexion and extension" can be calculated by the difference between the detection result of the sensor 21_1 worn on the right upper arm (part p1) of the subject P and the detection result of the sensor 21_2 worn on the right forearm (part p2). The action state monitoring device 10 generates the calculation result indicating the action state of "right elbow flexion and extension" based on the detection results of the sensors 21_1 and 21_2. The display unit 11 displays the details of the measurement result (for example, a graphical measurement result, etc.).

[0068] In this way, the operating state monitoring system according to the present embodiment operates the sensor according to the display mode of the sensor icon. This can prevent the situation where it is difficult to distinguish the sensor icon from which sensor it is.

[0069] In addition, the order of processing of the operation state monitoring system 1 is not limited to Figure 6 In the order of the processes shown, for example, calibration may be performed before displaying the sensor icon corresponding to the paired sensor.

[0070] The operation status monitoring device 10 may be a PC, but may also be a server which is not necessarily a personal computer.

[0071] In addition, the present disclosure can realize a part or all of the processing of the operation state monitoring system 1 by causing a CPU (Central Processing Unit) to execute a computer program.

[0072] The above-mentioned program is included in the command group (or software code) for making the computer perform one or more functions described in the embodiment when being read by the computer. The program can also be stored in a non-temporary computer-readable medium or a tangible storage medium. As a non-limiting example, the computer-readable medium or the tangible storage medium includes a random access memory (random-access memory (RAM)), a read-only memory (read-only memory (ROM)), a flash memory, a solid-state drive (solid-state drive (SSD)) or other memory technology, a read-only compact disk (CD-ROM), a digital versatile disc (digital versatile disc (DVD)), a Blu-ray (Blu-ray (registered trademark)) optical disk or other optical storage, a cassette, a magnetic tape, a magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage device. The program can also be sent on a temporary computer-readable medium or a communication medium. As a non-limiting example, a temporary computer-readable medium or a communication medium includes an electrical, optical, acoustic or other form of transmission signal.

[0073] According to the disclosure described in this way, it is obvious that the embodiments of the present disclosure can be changed in many ways. Such changes should not be regarded as departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure, and, for those skilled in the art, all such modifications are obvious and are included in the scope of the technical solution.
