[0042] An embodiment of the posture improvement support system of the present disclosure will be described.

[0043] Implementation method 1.

[0044] <Implementation Method 1>

[0045] The posture improvement assisting system SKS according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0046] <Functions of Implementation Method 1>

[0047] Figure 1 This is a functional block diagram of the posture improvement support system SKS according to the first embodiment. Figure 1 The functions of the posture improvement assisting system SKS according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0048] The posture improvement assistance system SKS of the first embodiment is for assisting a pedestrian HO to improve the standing state or walking action of the pedestrian HO by displaying the current profile GS and the ideal profile RS, for example. Figure 1 As shown, it mainly includes an input device NY, a processing device SH, an output device SY and a storage device KI.

[0049] Here, pedestrians HO are collectively referred to as people walking or standing, for example.

[0050] The input device NY corresponds to the "input device", the processing device SH corresponds to the "processing device", and the output device SY corresponds to the "output device".

[0051] HO such as pedestrians corresponds to "users".

[0052] The input device NY receives input of both the image GZ and the detection amount KR regarding the pedestrian etc. HO, that is, acquires the image GZ and the detection amount KR of the pedestrian etc. HO as user information related to the posture of the pedestrian etc. HO.

[0053] The processing device SH generates a current profile GS indicating the current posture of the pedestrian etc. HO based on the user information of the pedestrian etc. HO, that is, the image GZ of the pedestrian etc. HO and the detection amount KR. The processing device SH also searches the database DB stored in the storage device KI based on the user information of the pedestrian etc. HO, the current profile GS, etc., thereby extracting the ideal profile RS. The generation of the current profile GS and the structure of the database DB, etc., will be described later.

[0054] The output device SY compares and outputs one of the current profile GS, improved profile KS, and appropriate profile TS of the pedestrian HO with the ideal profile RS. Details of the current profile GS to the ideal profile RS will be described later.

[0055] The storage device KI stores the above-mentioned database DB.

[0056] <Position of input device NY>

[0057] Figure 2 The position of the input device NY according to the first embodiment is shown (part 1).

[0058] Figure 3 The position of the input device NY according to the first embodiment is shown (part 2).

[0059] When a pedestrian HO is outdoors, the sensors SE1 to SE5 and the camera KA as the input device NY are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, for example, it is attached to the hat, wrist, ankle, belt, etc. of the pedestrian HO. The front and back halves of the pedestrian HO are photographed by the camera KA (abdomen side) and the camera KA (back side) attached to the belt.

[0060] When a pedestrian or the like HO is located indoors, the sensors SE1 to SE3 as the input device NY are as follows. Figure 3 As shown, it is installed on the hat or wrist of the pedestrian HO, for example. In addition, the sensor SE6 as the input device NY is installed on the indoor floor, and the cameras KA1 and KA2 are installed on the indoor ceiling (for example, the corner of the ceiling).

[0061] Here, sensors SE1 to SE6 are used to detect the standing state or walking movement of pedestrians HO, in other words, to obtain the above-mentioned detection quantity KR, and are, for example, position sensors, acceleration sensors, human sensing sensors, vibration sensors, thermal image sensors, distance sensors, pressure sensors, foot load sensors, and load balance sensors.

[0062] Cameras KA, KA1, KA2 are, for example, wide-angle lens cameras.

[0063] <Position of output device SY>

[0064] Figure 4 The position of the output device SY in the first embodiment is shown (part 1).

[0065] Figure 5 The position of the output device SY in the first embodiment is shown (part 2).

[0066] When a pedestrian HO is outdoors, a smartphone SP, a tablet TA, or a mobile projector KP as an output device SY may be used. Figure 4 As shown, it is carried by the hand of a pedestrian HO, for example, and the smart glasses SG as the output device SY are worn on the face of the pedestrian HO, for example, and the smart watch SW as the output device SY is worn on the wrist of the pedestrian HO, for example.

[0067] When a pedestrian or the like HO is located indoors, the mounted projector TP as the output device SY is Figure 5 As shown, it is installed on, for example, a ceiling in a room (for example, a corner of a ceiling), and a printer PR as an output device SY is placed on, for example, a floor in a room (for example, a corner of a floor).

[0068] <Operation of processing device SH>

[0069] Figure 6 The operation of the processing device SH according to the first embodiment is shown.

[0070] like Figure 6 As shown, the processing device SH generates an actual contour JS representing the posture of the pedestrian etc. HO based on the image GZ of the pedestrian etc. HO captured by the input device NY, more specifically, the image GZ of the whole body ZE of the pedestrian etc. HO or the image GZ of the upper body JO and the lower body KA of the pedestrian etc. HO. After the actual contour JS is generated, the processing device SH corrects the actual contour JS with reference to the basic model KM prepared in advance (for example, pre-stored in the storage device KI), thereby generating a current contour GS. Here, the basic model KM is a standard posture of a person, for example, a posture of a medium-sized person. The generated current contour GS is displayed together with the ideal contour RS, for example, on a tablet TA as the output device SY.

[0071] 〈Output device SY method〉

[0072] FIG. 7 shows the output mode of the output device SY in the first embodiment.

[0073] The output device SY is basically as follows Figure 7A to Figure 7C The output device SY is, for example, a smartphone SP, and specifically, Fig. 7A The current profile GS and the ideal profile RS are displayed as shown in Figure 7BThe improved profile KS and the ideal profile RS are shown as shown in FIG. Figure 7C The suitable profile TS and the ideal profile RS are displayed as shown.

[0074] The output device SY may be a printer PR for printing instead of the above-mentioned display.

[0075] Here, the improved profile KS refers to the improved posture of the pedestrian etc. HO obtained as a result of the pedestrian etc. HO improving the posture. The suitable profile TS refers to the posture of the pedestrian etc. HO that conforms to the target posture such as the ideal profile RS obtained as a result of the pedestrian etc. HO further improving the posture.

[0076] In order to facilitate description and understanding, “current profile GS and ideal profile RS, etc.” refers to a combination of current profile GS and ideal profile RS, a combination of improved profile KS and ideal profile RS, and a combination of suitable profile TS and ideal profile RS.

[0077] like Figure 7A to Figure 7C As shown, the output device SY is, for example, a smartphone SP, and displays the current posture GE, the to-do items YA, and the motivation DO below the above two outlines, namely, the current outline GS and the ideal outline RS. The details of the current posture GE, the to-do items YA, and the motivation DO will be described later.

[0078] <Type of output device SY>

[0079] FIG8 shows types of output devices SY according to the first embodiment.

[0080] The output device SY is, for example, Figure 8A to Figure 8F As shown, there are smart glasses SG, smart watches SW, smartphones SP, tablets TA, mounted projectors TP, and mobile projectors KP that display the current profile GS and the ideal profile RS (also shown in FIG. 7 ). In addition, Figure 8G As shown, there is a printer PR which prints the current profile GS, the ideal profile RS and the like.

[0081] In particular, the mobile projector KP is carried by a pedestrian or other person HO located outdoors ( Figure 4 ), the current profile GS and the ideal profile RS are projected, for example, toward an outdoor road. In addition, the mounted projector TP is installed indoors ( Figure 5 ), the current profile GS and the ideal profile RS are projected, for example, toward a wall in the room.

[0082] 〈Projection of output device SY〉

[0083] FIG. 9 shows one aspect of projection of the output device SY according to the first embodiment.

[0084] The mounted projector TP as output device SY can also instead project the usual profiles, i.e. the current profile GS and the ideal profile RS etc. (e.g. Figure 7A to Figure 7C ), for example Fig.9A Similarly, the mounted projector TP as the output device SY can also replace the projection of the usual profile, that is, the current profile GS and the ideal profile RS (for example, Figure 7A to Figure 7C ), such as Fig. 9B As shown, the current outline GS (white hollow) of the white hollow and the ideal outline RS (white hollow) of the white hollow are projected.

[0085] 〈Replacement of current profile GS etc.〉

[0086] Fig.10 An alternative to the current profile GS and the ideal profile RS of the first embodiment is shown.

[0087] The current contour GS and the ideal contour RS may be replaced by, for example, DA1 (real dynamic image), DA2 (3D dynamic image), DA3 (2D animation), or DA4 (Bone Pattern (registered trademark) representing the skeleton). Fig.10 In order to indicate that gender is not limited, in contrast to the current profile GS and the ideal profile RS which express males, females are expressed instead of DA1 to DA4.

[0088] 〈Database DB Structure〉

[0089] Fig.11 The structure of the database DB according to the first embodiment is shown.

[0090] In the database DB of implementation mode 1, if Fig.11 More specifically, in the database DB, the image GZ of the pedestrian etc. HO, the detection amount KR of the pedestrian etc. HO, the current outline GS of the pedestrian etc. HO, and the ideal outline RS corresponding to the current outline GS are associated with each other.

[0091] For example, when an image GZ1 of a pedestrian etc. HO is captured by the input device NY, the detection amount KR1 of the pedestrian etc. HO is obtained, and a current contour GS1 is generated by the processing device SH, the processing device SH searches the database DB based on the image GZ1, the detection amount KR1 and at least one of the current contour GS1, thereby extracting an ideal contour RS1 corresponding to the current contour GS1.

[0092] Similarly, for example, when an image GZ2 of a pedestrian etc. HO is captured by the input device NY and the detection amount KR2 of the pedestrian etc. HO is obtained, and a current contour GS2 is generated by the processing device SH, the processing device SH searches the database DB based on the image GZ2, the detection amount KR2 and at least one of the current contour GS2, thereby extracting an ideal contour RS2 corresponding to the current contour GS2.

[0093] <Structure of processing device SH>

[0094] Fig.12 This is a functional block diagram of the processing device SH according to the first embodiment.

[0095] like Fig.12 As shown, the processing device SH according to the first embodiment includes an acquisition unit ST, a generation unit SE, a search unit KE, an extraction unit CH, and a correction unit SS.

[0096] The acquisition unit ST corresponds to the “acquisition unit”, the generation unit SE corresponds to the “generation unit”, the search unit KE corresponds to the “search unit”, the extraction unit CH corresponds to the “extraction unit”, and the correction unit SS corresponds to the “correction unit”.

[0097] The acquisition unit ST acquires user information, which is information on the posture of the pedestrian or the like HO, that is, the image GZ and the detection amount KR of the pedestrian or the like HO.

[0098] The generator SE generates a current silhouette GS indicating the current posture of the pedestrian etc. HO based on the user information of the pedestrian etc. The generator SE also generates an actual silhouette JS indicating the pedestrian etc. HO based on the image GZ of the pedestrian etc. HO.

[0099] The generation unit SE generates the above-mentioned current profile GS by, for example, correcting the actual profile JS by the correction unit SS with reference to the basic model KM.

[0100] The search unit KE searches the database DB ( based on the user information of the pedestrian HO, that is, at least one of the image GZ of the pedestrian HO, the detection amount KR of the pedestrian HO, and the current profile GS of the pedestrian HO. Fig.11 ) to search.

[0101] The extraction unit CH extracts the ideal silhouette RS corresponding to the current silhouette GS of the pedestrian etc. HO retrieved by the retrieval unit KE.

[0102] The correction part SS refers to the basic model KM ( Figure 6 ) The actual contour JS is corrected.

[0103] <Hardware Structure and Software Structure of Implementation Method 1>

[0104] Fig.13 The hardware configuration of the posture improvement support system SKS and the processing device SH according to the first embodiment is shown.

[0105] In order to realize the above functions, the posture improvement assistance system SKS and the processing device SH of the first embodiment are as follows: Fig.13 As shown, it includes a processing circuit SYO, and further includes an input circuit NYU and an output circuit SYU as needed.

[0106] The processing circuit SYO is dedicated hardware. The processing circuit SYO implements the acquisition unit ST to the correction unit SS of the processing device SH of the posture improvement support system SKS. Fig.12 ).

[0107] The processing circuit SYO is, for example, a single circuit, a complex circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or a combination thereof.

[0108] The input circuit NYU and the output circuit SYU exchange inputs and outputs related to the operation of the processing circuit SYO with, for example, the outside of the posture improvement support system SKS or the outside of the processing device SH.

[0109] Fig.14 The hardware configuration of the SKS and the processing device SH according to the embodiment realized by software is shown.

[0110] like Fig.14 As shown, the posture improvement support system SKS and the processing device SH of the first embodiment include a processor PRO and a storage circuit KIO, and further include an input circuit NYU and an output circuit SYU as necessary.

[0111] The processor PRO is a CPU (also called a Central Processing Unit, a central processing device, a processing device, an arithmetic device, a microprocessor, a microcomputer, a DSP (Digital Signal Processing)) that executes a program. The processor PRO implements the acquisition unit ST to the correction unit SS of the processing device SH of the posture improvement assistance system SKS. Fig.12 ).

[0112] The processor PRO implements the above functions through software, firmware, or a combination of software and firmware. The software and firmware are described in the form of programs and stored in the storage circuit KIO.

[0113] The processor PRO realizes the above functions by reading the above program from the storage circuit KIO and executing it. The above program can also be said to be a program for causing a computer to execute the procedures and methods of the acquisition part ST to the correction part SS of the processing device SH of the posture improvement support system SKS.

[0114] Here, the storage circuit KIO is, for example, a nonvolatile or volatile semiconductor memory such as RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), flash memory, EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), as well as a magnetic disk, a floppy disk, an optical disk, a high-density disk, a mini disk, a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), etc.

[0115] It can also be processed by the processing circuit SYO ( Fig.13 ) realizes a part of the functions of the acquisition unit ST to the correction unit SS of the processing device SH of the posture improvement support system SKS, and on the other hand, the processor PRO ( Fig.14 ) to realize another part of the function.

[0116] As described above, the functions of the acquisition unit ST to the correction unit SS of the processing device SH of the posture improvement support system SKS can be realized by hardware, software, firmware, or a combination thereof.

[0117] The input unit NYU and the output unit SYU exchange input and output related to the operation of the processor PRO with, for example, the outside of the posture improvement support system SKS or the outside of the processing device SH.

[0118] <Operations of Implementation Method 1>

[0119] Fig.15 This is a flowchart showing the operation of the posture improvement support system SKS according to the first embodiment.

[0120] Fig.16 This is a flowchart showing the operation of the processing device SH according to the first embodiment.

[0121] Fig.17 A form of display and the like of the posture improvement support system SKS according to the first embodiment is shown (part 1).

[0122] FIG. 18 shows a form of display and the like of the posture improvement support system SKS according to the first embodiment (part 2).

[0123] Reference Figure 15 to Figure 1 8 The operation of the posture improvement assisting system SKS and the operation of the processing device SH according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0124] Step ST11: Input device NY ( Figure 1 ) Photograph pedestrians, etc. Figure 1 ) and obtains the standing state or walking action of the pedestrian etc. HO, that is, the detection amount KR. In other words, in the processing device SH, the acquisition unit ST obtains the image GZ of the pedestrian etc. HO and the detection amount KR as user information of the pedestrian etc. HO via the input device NY in step ST21 as an action of the processing device SH.

[0125] Step ST12: Processing device SH ( Figure 1 As shown in the figure. Figure 6 As shown, the actual contour JS of the pedestrian etc. HO is generated based on the image GZ of the pedestrian etc. HO, and then the current contour GS of the pedestrian etc. HO is generated using the actual contour JS of the pedestrian etc. HO and the basic model KM. In short, in the processing device SH, the generating unit SE generates the current contour GS through the above process in step ST22 as an action of the processing device SH.

[0126] Step ST13: The processing device SH analyzes the posture of the pedestrian etc. HO, such as the standing state or the walking motion, based on the image GZ of the pedestrian etc. HO captured and the acquired detection amount KR of the pedestrian etc. HO.

[0127] Step ST14: The processing device SH performs a database DB ( Fig.11 ) is retrieved, thereby extracting the ideal contour RS corresponding to the current contour GS of the pedestrian HO.

[0128] Step ST15: For example, the output device SY ( Figure 1 ) When pedestrians are walking, Fig.17 As shown, the current silhouette GS and the ideal silhouette RS of the pedestrian etc. HO are displayed in time series, that is, continuously, and the current silhouette GS and the ideal silhouette RS of the pedestrian etc. HO are displayed separately from each other.

[0129] In more detail, the output device SY displays only the current profile GS of the pedestrian etc. HO at time t1, i.e., at the initial time. The output device SY displays the current profile GS and the ideal profile RS of the pedestrian etc. HO at time t2 to t4. The output device SY displays the improved profile KS and the ideal profile RS of the pedestrian etc. HO at time t5 to t6. The output device SY displays the appropriate profile TS and the ideal profile RS of the pedestrian etc. HO at time t7.

[0130] On the other hand, when the pedestrian HO is standing, the output device SY displays the current profile GS and the ideal profile RS of the pedestrian HO in the form of a snapshot, i.e., separately, as shown in FIG. 18 , and displays the current profile GS and the ideal profile RS of the pedestrian HO separately from each other.

[0131] More specifically, the output device SY is initially Fig.18A As shown, only the current profile GS of the pedestrian etc. HO is displayed. The output device SY is then as follows Fig.18B As shown, the current profile GS and the ideal profile RS of the pedestrian HO are displayed. The output device SY is then as follows Fig.18C As shown in FIG. 1 , the improved profile KS and the ideal profile RS of the pedestrian HO are displayed. The output device SY is finally as shown in FIG. Fig.18D As shown, the suitable profile TS and the ideal profile RS of a pedestrian etc. HO are displayed.

[0132] Step ST16: The output device SY displays the current posture GE, the to-do items YA, and the motivation DO in addition to the current profile GS and the ideal profile RS.

[0133] Here, the current posture GE is the current posture of the pedestrian HO, that is, the current posture. The to-do item YA is the action that the pedestrian HO should take to improve the current posture. The motivation DO is the motivation for the pedestrian HO to perform the to-do item YA.

[0134] When pedestrians HO walk, the output device SY is as follows Fig.17 As shown, at time t1, i.e., at the initial time, the current posture GE "hunched back" is additionally displayed. At time t2 to t7, the output device SY additionally displays the current posture GE "hunched back", the to-do item YA "straighten your back", and the motivation DO "increase the amount of exercise".

[0135] When the pedestrian HO stands, the output device SY is initially Fig.18A As shown in FIG. 1 , the current posture GE is additionally displayed as “hunched back”. The output device SY is in the period from the latter to the end, as shown in FIG. Figures 18B to 18D As shown, the current posture GE "hunched back", the to-do item YA "straighten your back", and the motivation DO "beautiful posture" are additionally displayed.
