Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, one of the pains that humans feel is "physiological pain". If men can experience this "physiological pain" that only women feel, it is considered that mutual understanding between men and women can be promoted.

[0005] However, since the specific ways of experiencing physiological pain vary from person to person, simply giving a uniform pain may promote misunderstanding rather than mutual understanding between men and women.

[0006] Therefore, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a physiological pain recording experience method, a physiological pain recording device, a control server, a physiological pain experience device, and a program that can promote mutual understanding between men and women.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] The physiological pain recording and experiencing method according to the present invention is a physiological pain recording and experiencing method executed by a computer connected to a plurality of electrode pads respectively attached to a human body, the method including: recording a first waveform by a first gesture detected on a touch surface; while controlling an electrical signal applied to the plurality of electrode pads based on the recorded first waveform, recording a second waveform by a second gesture detected on the touch surface; and controlling an electrical signal applied to the plurality of electrode pads based on an adjusted waveform obtained by subtracting a difference obtained by subtracting the first waveform from the second waveform from the first waveform.

[0008] The physiological pain recording device according to the present invention is a physiological pain recording device connected to a plurality of first electrode pads respectively attached to a human body, which records a first waveform by a first gesture detected on a touch surface, and while controlling an electrical signal applied to the plurality of first electrode pads based on the recorded first waveform, records a second waveform by a second gesture detected on the touch surface.

[0009] The control server according to the present invention is a control server configured to be communicable with the physiological pain recording device, which receives a series of numerical values indicating the first waveform and a series of numerical values indicating the second waveform from the physiological pain recording device, derives an adjusted waveform obtained by subtracting a difference obtained by subtracting the first waveform from the second waveform from the first waveform, and stores the adjusted waveform in association with a first user.

[0010] The physiological pain experiencing device according to the present invention is a physiological pain experiencing device connected to a plurality of second electrode pads respectively attached to a human body and configured to be communicable with the control server, which receives a designation of the first user by the user, acquires the adjusted waveform of the designated first user from the control server, and controls an electrical signal applied to the plurality of second electrode pads based on the acquired adjusted waveform.

[0011] The program according to the present invention causes a computer connected to a plurality of electrode pads attached to a human body to record a first waveform by a first gesture detected on a touch surface, and while controlling an electrical signal applied to the plurality of electrode pads based on the recorded first waveform, recording a second waveform by a second gesture detected on the touch surface, and controlling an electrical signal applied to the plurality of electrode pads based on an adjusted waveform obtained by subtracting a difference obtained by subtracting the first waveform from the second waveform from the first waveform. It is a program for execution.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a dysmenorrhea recording experience system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the dysmenorrhea recording experience system 1 includes a user terminal 2, a control server 3, a control device 4, a wiring 5, and electrode pads 6a and 6b.

[0015] The dysmenorrhea recording experience system 1 is a system used by both female users and male users. However, the purposes of using the dysmenorrhea recording experience system 1 are different between female users and male users. Female users use the dysmenorrhea recording experience system 1 to record the pain of their own dysmenorrhea as a waveform in the control server 3. On the other hand, male users use the dysmenorrhea recording experience system 1 to experience the pain indicated by the waveform recorded by female users. Details will be described later.

[0016] The user terminal 2 is a computer that executes application software (hereinafter referred to as "terminal app") for performing various processes necessary to realize the dysmenorrhea experience by the dysmenorrhea recording experience system 1, and is typically composed of a smartphone. However, it goes without saying that the user terminal 2 may be another type of computer such as a personal computer or a tablet terminal.

[0017] The above various processes performed by the terminal app include display of the user interface, communication with the control server 3, control of the control device 4, etc. For this purpose, the user terminal 2 is configured to be communicable with the control server 3 and the control device 4. Communication between the user terminal 2 and the control server 3 can be executed through a network 10 such as the Internet, for example. The user terminal 2 and the network 10 may be connected through a wireless communication network such as a wireless LAN or a mobile communication network. Communication between the user terminal 2 and the control device 4 can be executed using short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or wireless LAN.

[0018] In FIG. 1, the waveform recording screen 20 shown within the screen of the user terminal 2 is a type of user interface displayed by the terminal app, and it is the screen used when a female user records the pain of her menstrual cramps as a waveform in the control server 3. The waveform recording screen 20 according to this example is configured to have a two-way arrow connecting "painful" and "normal times". The female user records a series of numerical values (waveform) indicating the pain of menstrual cramps in the control server 3 by performing a predetermined gesture (for example, a swipe or a drag; hereinafter referred to as "recording gesture") along this arrow. Details will be described later.

[0019] Here, in the present embodiment, as the numerical value indicating the pain of menstrual cramps, a parameter indicating the waveform of an electrical signal (a signal given to the user through the electrode pads 6a and 6b), which will be described later, is used. This parameter may be anything as long as it can give the user pains of different degrees or types by changing the characteristics of the electrical signal. For example, if the electrical signal is a sine wave signal, it may be the period, frequency, amplitude, or a combination thereof of the sine wave signal. Hereinafter, for simplicity of explanation, the case where the electrical signal is a sine wave signal and the period of the sine wave signal is used as the numerical value indicating the pain of menstrual cramps will be taken as an example to continue the explanation. In this case, the smaller the numerical value, the greater the degree of pain felt by the user to whom the electrical signal having the waveform indicated by that numerical value is given. Therefore, the terminal app associates a smaller numerical value with a position of the finger closer to "painful" and a larger numerical value with a position closer to "normal times" along the above two-way arrow. And while the user is performing the recording gesture, a series of numerical values indicating the pain of menstrual cramps are recorded by sequentially recording the numerical values corresponding to the position of the user's finger.

[0020] The control server 3 is a computer that performs operations such as distributing the terminal application to the user terminal 2, recording waveforms for each user, and controlling the control device 4, and is composed of a high-performance computer that functions as a server device. The control of the control device 4 by the control server 3 includes control for simultaneously controlling a plurality of control devices 4, such as turning off the power of each control device 4 outside of a predetermined usage time and remotely monitoring the operation time of each control device 4. Therefore, the control server 3 is configured to be communicable with the user terminal 2 through the network 10 as described above, and is also configured to be communicable with the control device 4. Communication between the control device 4 and the control server 3 can be executed through the network 10. The control device 4 and the network 10 may be connected through a wireless communication network such as a wireless LAN or a mobile communication network. The distribution of the terminal application may be performed from an application distribution platform operated by a digital platform provider instead of the control server 3.

[0021] The control device 4 is a computer that generates an electrical signal (current signal or voltage signal) according to the control of the terminal application and supplies it to the electrode pads 6a and 6b via the wiring 5. The computer constituting the control device 4 may be a simple computer such as a Raspberry Pi (registered trademark).

[0022] The electrode pads 6a and 6b are an electrode set used in pairs of two, and are used by being attached to the torso of the human body. In one example, the electrode pad 6a is attached to the abdomen and the electrode pad 6b is attached to the back, respectively. In this case, by passing an electrical signal between the electrode pad 6a and the electrode pad 6b, it becomes possible to make the wearer of the electrode pads 6a and 6b feel abdominal pain and low back pain, and at an intermediate point between the electrode pad 6a and the electrode pad 6b, it also becomes possible to make the wearer feel a stimulus as a phantom sensation. In another example, as shown in the example of FIG. 1, the electrode pads 6a and 6b are attached to the abdomen in a state of being arranged side by side in the horizontal direction. In this case, by passing an electrical signal between the electrode pad 6a and the electrode pad 6b, it becomes possible to give the wearer of the electrode pads 6a and 6b a stimulus of being pushed out in the vertical direction, a stimulus of being pushed in from the outside to the inside, and a stimulus of the abdomen being shaken from side to side.

[0023] The specific shape of the electrode pads 6a and 6b is preferably a rectangle of 5 mm × 9 mm, for example, but other shapes such as round, oval, square, etc. may also be used. Also, in this embodiment, an example using a set of two electrode pads 6a and 6b is described, but it is also possible to use two or more sets of electrode pads. In this case, the terminal app and the control device 4 may be configured so that different electrical signals can be applied to each set of electrode pads.

[0024] The control device 4, the wiring 5, and the electrode pads 6a and 6b are preferably configured to be portable by the user as one kit. For example, it is preferably configured to be portable by methods such as hanging it from the neck, fixing it to clothes using buttons, putting it in a pocket or a bag, etc. Also, the control device 4 is preferably driven by a battery such as a primary battery or a secondary battery, and it is preferable to use the power from this battery to communicate with the user terminal 2 (terminal app) and supply an electrical signal to the electrode pads 6a and 6b.

[0025] The control device 4 may have a function of confirming consent regarding experiencing dysmenorrhea, and may not supply an electrical signal to the electrode pads 6a and 6b unless the user's consent is confirmed by this function. Since the dysmenorrhea recording experience system 1 gives pain to the user, the user's consent is required from the legal, ethical, and safety aspects. By providing a consent confirmation function in the control device 4, it becomes possible to confirm the user's consent before actually giving pain to the user. This function may be provided on the terminal app side, and unless the user's consent is confirmed by the terminal app, the terminal app may not instruct the control device 4 to supply an electrical signal to the electrode pads 6a and 6b. The specific implementation of the consent confirmation function is not particularly limited, but a hard button for consent confirmation may be provided on the control device 4, and it may be possible to confirm the pressing of the hard button. A command button for consent confirmation may be provided within the waveform recording screen 20, and it may be possible to confirm the pressing of the command button. A signature field for consent confirmation may be provided within the waveform recording screen 20, and it may be possible to confirm that some signature has been made in the signature field (when the function of verifying the signature of the user logged in to the terminal app can be implemented, it may be possible to detect the match between the entered signature and the signature of the logged-in user).

[0026] Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the user terminal 2, the control server 3, and the control device 4. The user terminal 2, the control server 3, and the control device 4 can each be configured by a computer 100 having the illustrated configuration. Note that the computer 100 constituting the control server 3 may be a computer configured by the connection of a plurality of computers.

[0027] As shown in Figure 2, the computer 100 has a configuration in which a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 101, a storage device 102, an input device 103, an output device 104, and a communication device 105 are interconnected via a bus 106.

[0028] The CPU 101 is a device that controls each part of the computer 100 and reads and executes various programs stored in the storage device 102. The storage device 102 includes a main storage device such as a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) and an auxiliary storage device such as a hard disk, and serves to store the operating system of the computer 100, various programs for executing various applications, and data used by these programs. The processes shown in various flowcharts described later are realized by the CPUs 101 of the user terminal 2, the control server 3, and the control device 4 respectively executing the programs stored in their respective storage devices 102.

[0029] The input device 103 is a device that receives external input and supplies it to the CPU 101, and is configured to include, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, and a touch panel. The output device 104 is a device that outputs the processing result of the CPU 101 to the outside, and is configured to include, for example, a display and a speaker. The output device 104 of the control device 4 includes an interface for connecting to the electrode pads 6a, 6b. In addition, a display, which is one of the output devices 104 mounted on the user terminal 2, is arranged overlapping a touch panel, which is one of the input devices 103 mounted on the user terminal 2. Thereby, the user terminal 2 has a panel surface that serves both as a touch surface for detecting touch operations by the user and gestures indicated by a series of touch operations, and as a display surface for displaying images.

[0030] The communication device 105 is a device for communicating with an external device, and transmits and receives data according to the instructions of the CPU 101. The user terminal 2, the control server 3, and the control device 4 are each configured to communicate with other devices including the network 10 shown in FIG. 1 using this communication device 105.

[0031] Figures 3 and 4 are diagrams showing the processing flow of the menstrual pain recording experience system 1 when used by a female user. On the other hand, Figure 5 is a diagram showing the processing flow of the menstrual pain recording experience system 1 when used by a male user. Hereinafter, with reference to these figures, the processing executed by the menstrual pain recording experience system 1 will be described in detail.

[0032] First, referring to Figure 3, the processing shown in the figure is executed by the terminal application operating on the user terminal 2 (menstrual pain recording device) of the female user, and is executed when the first user, who is female, is actually feeling the pain of menstrual pain. Note that among the processes shown in Figure 3, the processes indicated by the dashed lines are processes executed by entities other than the terminal application. This is the same in Figures 4 and 5 described later.

[0033] In the processing of Figure 3, first, the terminal application accepts the login by the first user, who is female (step S1). The terminal application that has accepted the login displays the waveform recording screen 20 (see Figure 1) on the touch surface of the user terminal 2 in response to the instruction of the first user on the user terminal 2 (step S2).

[0034] Next, the terminal application determines whether a predetermined start instruction operation has been detected (step S3). The start instruction operation is an operation performed by the first user on the user terminal 2. For example, it may be the start operation of the above-described recording gesture (that is, the contact of the fingertip with the touch surface), or it may be the tap operation of a start button (not shown) displayed within the waveform recording screen 20. If the terminal application determines in step S2 that the start instruction operation has not been detected, it continues to execute step S3 (that is, waits for the detection of the start instruction operation). If it determines that the start instruction operation has been detected, the processing proceeds to step S4.

[0035] Here, the first user who performed the start instruction operation then executes a recording gesture on the waveform recording screen 20 according to the magnitude of the pain they are actually feeling (here, the pain of actual menstrual cramps). Specifically, when the pain increases, the fingertip is moved towards the "painful" side, and when the pain decreases, the fingertip is moved towards the "normal" side.

[0036] In step S4, the terminal app detects the recording gesture (the first gesture) being executed by the user in this way, and records the numerical value indicated by the detected recording gesture (that is, by sequentially recording the numerical values associated with the position of the user's finger), thereby recording the first waveform. As a result, the first waveform recorded in step S4 becomes a waveform representing the pain of the menstrual cramps felt by the first user.

[0037] While executing step S4, the terminal app also determines whether a predetermined end instruction operation has been detected (step S5). The end instruction operation is also an operation performed by the first user on the user terminal 2. For example, it may be the end of the recording gesture (that is, the contact of the fingertip from the touch surface), or it may be a tap operation on an end button (not shown) displayed within the waveform recording screen 20. If the terminal app determines in step S5 that the end instruction operation has not been detected, it continues to execute step S4, and if it determines that the end instruction operation has been detected, it transfers the process to step S6.

[0038] In step S6, the terminal app transmits the recorded first waveform to the control server 3 together with the information of the first user. The control server 3 stores the first waveform received in this way in association with the first user (step S7).

[0039] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the data stored by the storage device 102 of the control server 3. The control server 3 is configured to acquire and store data as shown in FIG. 6 for each female user.

[0040] In step S5 of FIG. 3, the first waveform transmitted by the terminal app is shown in the "First Waveform" column of FIG. 6. As can be understood from FIG. 6, the first waveform is represented by a series of numerical values arranged in time series.

[0041] FIG. 7 is a diagram depicting the waveform represented by the series of numerical values shown in FIG. 6 as a waveform. In the present embodiment, as described above, since each numerical value represents the period of a sine wave signal, following the series of numerical values described in FIG. 6, as shown in FIG. 7, a waveform of a sine wave signal whose period changes in the middle is drawn. Specifically, a sine wave signal with a period of 12200 is drawn from time t0 to t1, a sine wave signal with a period of 12100 is drawn from time t1 to t2, a sine wave signal with a period of 12321 is drawn from time t0 to t1, and a sine wave signal with a period of 13000 is drawn from time t0 to t1.

[0042] Next, referring to FIG. 4, the process shown in the figure is also a process executed by the terminal app operating on the user terminal 2 (dysmenorrhea recording device) of the female user, and is executed to verify the first waveform saved in the control server 3 by executing the process of FIG. 3.

[0043] Also in the process of FIG. 4, first, the terminal app accepts the login by the first user who is a female (step S10). The terminal app that has accepted the login acquires the first waveform of the first user from the control server 3 (step S11). The first waveform acquired here is the one that the terminal app transmitted to the control server 3 in step S6 of FIG. 3, and specifically, it is a series of numerical values arranged in time series exemplified in FIG. 6.

[0044] Next, the first user wears the electrode pads 6a, 6b (first electrode pads) on their body (step S12), and the terminal app establishes communication with the control device 4 connected to the electrode pads 6a, 6b worn by the first user in response to an instruction from the first user on the user terminal 2 (step S13). To establish this communication, the terminal app may store the address information of the control device 4 in advance in association with the first user.

[0045] Subsequently, the terminal app displays a waveform recording screen 20 (see FIG. 1) on the touch surface of the user terminal 2 in response to an instruction from the first user on the user terminal 2 (step S14), and determines whether a predetermined start instruction operation has been detected (step S15). The specific content of this start instruction operation may be the same as the start instruction operation detected in step S3 of FIG. 3. When the terminal app determines in step S15 that the start instruction operation has not been detected, it continues to execute step S15 (that is, waits for the detection of the start instruction operation), and when it determines that the start instruction operation has been detected, it transfers the process to step S16.

[0046] In step S16, the terminal app controls the control device 4 based on the first waveform acquired in step S12, controls the electrical signal applied from the control device 4 to the electrode pads 6a, 6b, and records the numerical values indicated by the recording gesture (second gesture) detected on the touch surface, thereby recording the second waveform. As a result of the control in step S16, an electrical signal that is a sine wave signal vibrating in the first waveform is supplied from the control device 4 to the electrode pads 6a, 6b. The specific method of recording the second waveform may be the same as the method of recording the first waveform in step S4 of FIG. 3.

[0047] Here, the first user who performed the start instruction operation then executes a recording gesture on the waveform recording screen 20 according to the magnitude of the pain they are currently feeling (here, the pain given by an electrical signal). The specific method of executing the recording gesture is also the same as in the case of FIG. 3. When the pain increases, the first user moves the fingertip towards the "painful" side, and when the pain decreases, the first user moves the fingertip towards the "normal" side. As a result, the second waveform recorded in step S16 becomes a waveform representing the pain of the electrical signal felt by the first user.

[0048] While executing step S16, the terminal app determines whether the control of the control device 4 has been completed for all the numerical values constituting the first waveform (step S17). If the terminal app determines in step S17 that the control has not been completed, it continues to execute step S16. If it determines that the control has been completed, it transfers the process to step S18.

[0049] In step S18, the terminal app transmits the recorded second waveform to the control server 3 together with the information of the first user. The control server 3 associates and stores the second waveform thus received with the first user, and derives an adjusted waveform obtained by subtracting the difference obtained by subtracting the first waveform from the second waveform from the first waveform, and records it in association with the first user (step S19).

[0050] FIG. 6 also shows the second waveform, the difference, and the adjusted waveform. As shown in the figure, these waveforms are also represented by a series of numerical values arranged in the same time series as the first waveform. FIG. 7 also shows the result of drawing the waveforms represented by a series of numerical values corresponding to the second waveform and the adjusted waveform respectively as waveforms.

[0051] In the example shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, between time t2 and time t3, the numerical value of the second waveform is 11 greater than the numerical value of the first waveform. Therefore, in this example, between time t2 and time t3, the first user who was given an electrical signal created according to the first waveform felt only less pain than the actual menstrual pain, even though the first waveform was recorded based on the actual menstrual pain. The difference numerical value is a numerical value representing such a difference in the way of feeling pain. Also, the adjusted waveform is obtained by adjusting the first waveform so that the pain actually felt by the female user can be reproduced more faithfully.

[0052] Next, referring to FIG. 5, the process shown in the figure is a process executed by a terminal application operating on the user terminal 2 (menstrual pain experience device) of a male user, and is executed to let the male user experience the pain indicated by the adjusted waveform recorded in the control server 3 as a result of executing the processes of FIGS. 3 and 4.

[0053] In the process of FIG. 4, first, the terminal application accepts a login by a second user who is male (step S20). The terminal application that has accepted the login accepts a designation by a second user of a female user who reproduces menstrual pain (step S21). Here, the female user to be designated is a user whose adjusted waveform is recorded in the control server 3. The terminal application preferably causes the second user to designate a female user who reproduces menstrual pain by having the second user input an identification number of the female user in the menstrual pain recording experience system 1 (for example, one pre-assigned by the control server 3 to each female user).

[0054] The terminal application that has accepted the designation of the female user in step S21 acquires the adjusted waveform of the designated female user from the control server 3 (step S12). The adjusted waveform acquired here is the one recorded by the control server 3 in step S19 of FIG. 4, and specifically, is a series of numerical values arranged in the time series illustrated in FIG. 6.

[0055] Next, the second user wears the electrode pads 6a, 6b (second electrode pads) on their own body (step S23), and the terminal app establishes communication with the control device 4 connected to the electrode pads 6a, 6b worn by the second user in response to an instruction from the second user on the user terminal 2 (step S24). To establish this communication, the terminal app may store the address information of the control device 4 in advance in association with the second user.

[0056] Subsequently, the terminal app controls the control device 4 based on the adjusted waveform acquired in step S22, thereby controlling the electrical signal applied from the control device 4 to the electrode pads 6a, 6b (step S25). As a result, an electrical signal, which is a sine wave signal vibrating in the adjusted waveform, is applied from the control device 4 to the electrode pads 6a, 6b, and this electrical signal is applied to the second user through the electrode pads 6a, 6b. Therefore, the second user experiences the pain of dysmenorrhea indicated by the adjusted waveform (the pain that faithfully reproduces the pain actually felt by the female user specified in step S21).

[0057] As described above, according to the dysmenorrhea recording experience system 1 of the present invention, the pain of dysmenorrhea can be recorded for each woman and experienced by men, so it becomes possible to promote mutual understanding between men and women.

[0058] As mentioned above, the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described. However, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and it goes without saying that the present invention can be implemented in various modes without departing from the gist thereof.

[0059] For example, in the above embodiment, an example was described in which a female user who records the pain of menstrual cramps logs in to the terminal app, and a male user who experiences the pain of menstrual cramps logs in to the terminal app. However, the user who logs in and the user who records or experiences the pain of menstrual cramps may be different. By doing so, the trouble of registering the user who records or experiences the pain of menstrual cramps can be saved. For example, when having a large number of users record or experience in sequence, it becomes possible to efficiently proceed with the recording or experience.

[0060] Also, in the above embodiment, the waveform recorded by the female user is stored in the control server 3, but it may be stored in the user terminal 2. In this case, in order to experience the adjusted waveform recorded in the user terminal 2, that user terminal 2 is required. On the other hand, it becomes possible to construct the menstrual cramp recording and experience system 1 with a simple configuration that does not use the control server 3.

[0061] Also, in the above embodiment, the user who experiences menstrual cramps was described as a male user, but a female user may experience it. By doing so, a female user can experience the pain of menstrual cramps experienced by other females, and thereby can know the differences in symptoms from other females and judge (diagnose) the degree of her own symptoms.
