Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a training assistance system, training equipment, light emitting device, and method that can easily improve the quality of instantaneous decision-making ability and other skills required for sports. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent sports, split-second decisions are required. For example, in soccer, players must instantly decide whether to pass, dribble, or shoot. However, training in decision-making is often difficult to do alone. For this reason, training to improve the quality of decision-making in a real-game format has become common.

[0003] In recent years, there have been some devices that aim to improve judgment by providing pressure sensors on the panels, causing predetermined panels to light up, and turning off the light when a ball or other object hits the panel and the pressure sensor reacts. [Patent Document 1] Special Table 2018-558994 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, as mentioned above, installing panels in advance is very time-consuming and requires a large scale of work. Once installed, it is difficult to move them. Furthermore, pressure sensors are required, making them expensive and difficult for the average user to obtain.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention is a device that can be easily carried by anyone, allowing them to train their judgment, and by setting it in advance, they can determine the timing for turning on or off the light. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a device that can be carried by anyone, easily attached and installed, and that allows judgment training for an individual or multiple people.

[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, a light-emitting device is provided, which includes a communication unit that receives a signal from a control device, a light-emitting unit that turns on or off in response to the control signal, and an attachment unit that can be attached to training equipment.

[0008] A training tool provided according to one aspect of the present invention is a training tool that is integrated with a light-emitting device that lights up or turns off in response to a signal from a control device, and allows the user to confirm whether the light-emitting device is lit or turned off.

[0009] Another aspect of the present invention provides a training assistance system comprising a training tool, a light-emitting device, and a control device, wherein the training tool is equipment used during training and is integrated with the light-emitting device, the light-emitting device comprises a communication unit that receives a signal from the control device, and a light-emitting unit that turns on or off in response to the signal from the communication unit, the control device comprises a selection unit that selects whether to turn on or off the light-emitting device, and a communication unit that transmits the on or off signal selected by the selection unit to the light-emitting device, and the control device is a training assistance system in which the light-emitting unit's light emission is controlled by the control unit. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] As described above, the training assistance system, training tool, light emitting device, and method of the present invention can be carried and easily installed by anyone. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a training support system 1 according to the present invention. Note that Fig. 1 shows one training tool 3 and one light-emitting device 4, but the present invention is not limited to this and also applies to a case where there are multiple tools, including a case where multiple training tools 3 have multiple light-emitting devices 4. Fig. 1 will now be described below.

[0013] The training support system 1 includes a control device 2, a training tool 3, and a light-emitting device 4. For example, when a user is training alone to improve their judgment, the training support system 1 allows the user to set the timing for lighting up in advance using the control device 2 held by the user. The system then transmits a signal for lighting up or turning off the light at the set timing to the light-emitting device 4 via the network 7, and the light-emitting device 4 lights up or turns off in accordance with the received signal. This allows even a single user to improve their judgment. Alternatively, when training with two people, one person appropriately determines whether to light up or turn off the light using the control device 2, and the light-emitting device 4 lights up or turns off in accordance with the determination made by the control device 2. The other person, who does not hold the control device 2, then trains in accordance with the lighting of the light-emitting device 2. In this way, the present invention can be used by one or more people. Furthermore, the timing for lighting up or turning off the light can be determined in advance using a timer, or the light can be turned on or off only when the screen is tapped.

[0014] The control device 2 is a device that determines a signal to be transmitted by a user to the light-emitting device 4. The control device 2 includes a selection unit 21 that allows the user to select whether to turn on or off the light, the light-emitting time, etc., a determination unit 22 that allows the user to determine the content selected by the selection unit 21, and a transmission unit 22 that transmits the determined content to the light-emitting device 4. For example, the control device 2 may be a device carried by the user, such as a mobile phone or tablet, or may be a device that can connect to a network, such as a PC. Furthermore, the signal sent to one light-emitting device 4 can be selected to either illuminate or extinguish, or both. The user can also select the flashing mode, which alternates between illuminating and extinguishing, or the duration of illumination or extinguishing. Multiple light-emitting devices 4 may also be controlled by a single control device 2. By using a single control device 2, the user can light up one light-emitting device 4 and another light-emitting device 4, thereby training their judgment, such as dribbling or passing toward the illuminated light. In this case, the multiple light-emitting devices may be identified by assigning an ID to each light-emitting device. The control device 2 may also be capable of selecting multiple modes. For example, it may be a mode that determines the illumination color, or a memory mode that stores illumination patterns arbitrarily determined by the user. For example, when two or more people are training for soccer, one person holds the control device 2 while the other begins dribbling toward the training tool 3. The user holding the control device 2 selects the illumination color mode and determines the illumination color. The illumination color can be selected from red, blue, and other options. The user holding the control device 2 and the user not holding the control device 2 agree on red for left and blue for right. The user not holding the control device 2 then agrees on red for left and blue for right, and begins dribbling toward the training device 3. The user holding the control device 2 determines that the device will illuminate red when the other user not holding the control device 2 reaches the training device 3 during dribbling. This allows the dribbling user to check the illumination color of the training device 3 and dribble to the left. In this way, training can be conducted to instantly determine how to dribble. Furthermore, if a user is dribbling alone, the illumination can be set to random and, if set to illuminate at regular intervals, training can be conducted in which the user dribbles alone and selects dribbling or passing depending on the color illuminated just before the training device.

[0015] Furthermore, in memory mode, the user can memorize the lighting mode they used, eliminating the need to reset it, and can memorize their favorite lighting pattern so they can use it any time. For example, if they practice a pattern that randomly flashes red or blue every second and memorizes it, the lighting pattern can be automatically memorized so that they can be selected from the history the next time they use it. Also, when using it again from the history, they may be asked whether they want to memorize this pattern. They may also be given names to make it easier to select. This eliminates the need to set it up every time, saving time.

[0016] Furthermore, instructions may be given by voice simultaneously with the light emission. For example, when a user trains alone, they may forget the meaning of the light emission. Therefore, if voice can be output simultaneously with the light emission, the user can still train well alone even if they forget. The voice may be stored in the light-emitting device 4 and provided with a speaker for output, or it may be stored in the terminal of the control device 2 so that instructions are given from the speaker of the control device 2. Alternatively, only the voice may be stored in the control device 2, and the voice output may be performed from the light-emitting device. The voice may be input by the user's own voice, or text input by the user may be output automatically. This not only improves the user's visual judgment when checking the light emission, but also trains the user to listen to the voices of those around them, thereby improving two types of judgment.

[0017] The light emitting device 4 turns on or off in response to a signal received from the control device 2. Note that the signal processing of the light emitting device 4 will be explained in detail in the description of Fig. 2, and therefore the explanation of the signal processing will be omitted here. The light emitting device 4 has a receiving unit 41 that receives a signal from the control device 2, a light emission control unit 42 that controls light emission in response to the signal received by the receiving unit 41, and a light emitting unit 43 that turns on or off in response to the control of the light emitting unit 43. For example, the light emitting unit 43 may be any light emitting unit such as an LED. Also, one light emitting device 4 may have multiple light emitting units 43. Note that the light color may be selectable from any color that can be emitted by the light emitting unit being used. This allows the judgment training to be changed depending on the color.

[0018] The training tool 3 is made of resin and has a roughly truncated cone shape, is 10 to 15 centimeters high, and is open at the top and bottom, with the bottom having a diameter of approximately 20 centimeters and the top having an open diameter of approximately 10 centimeters. Note that while the size and other details of the training tool 3 are shown as an example, this is not limiting, and there are also training tools that are taller and made of materials other than resin. Furthermore, the top and bottom are not limited to being open, and the shape of the training tool is not limited to being roughly truncated cone. In this way, it is fine as long as it is something that can be used during training, regardless of its shape.

[0019] The network 7 refers to a network including wired and wireless networks such as a LAN (local area network), Bluetooth (registered trademark), and a WAN (wide area network).

[0020] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing how the control device 2 generates a signal to be sent to the light emitting device 4. As shown in FIG. The control device 2 includes a selection unit 21 that allows the user to select whether to light or turn off the light-emitting device 4, a determination unit 22 that allows the user to decide on the content selected by the selection unit 21, and a transmission unit 23 that transmits the content determined by the determination unit 22 to the light-emitting device 4 as information.

[0021] The selection unit 21 selects the timing and duration for lighting or extinguishing the light emitting device 4 selected by the user. This allows the user to freely select whether the light is on or off, making it possible to select the appropriate setting for training. The user can also select not only the light but also the sound. The sound can be the user's own voice, or it can be selected from the sounds stored in a memory unit (not shown).

[0022] The determination unit 22 determines the timing and time of lighting and extinguishing selected by the user in the selection unit. The timing may be determined at regular intervals or randomly. When multiple people are training, lighting and extinguishing may be performed at the timing selected by one user.

[0023] The transmitting unit 23 transmits the information determined by the determining unit 22 to the light emitting device 4 .

[0024] FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the lighting and extinguishing of the light emitting device 4. In FIG. The light emitting device 4 includes a receiving unit 41 that receives a signal from the control device 2, a light emitting control unit 42 that performs control based on the received signal, and a light emitting unit 43 that turns on or off the light based on the control of the light emitting control unit 42.

[0025] The receiving unit 41 receives a signal from the control device 2 to turn on or off the light.

[0026] The light emission control unit 42 controls the light emission or extinguishing of the light emitting unit 43 based on the light emission or extinguishing signal received by the receiving unit 41 .

[0027] The light emitting unit 43 emits light or turns off under the control of the light emission control unit 42. Note that the light emitting unit 43 may be coated with a transparent resin or protected with a cushioning material so as not to interfere with light emission, in order to protect it from impacts such as balls.

[0028] The light emission control unit 42 controls the light emission or extinguishing of the light emitting unit 43 in response to a signal from the receiving unit 41. Although not shown, the light emission control unit 42 may also have a memory unit 421 stored internally or externally. This allows the light emission or extinguishing to be performed at a timing desired by the user by temporarily storing a signal in the memory unit 421 after the receiving unit 41 receives the signal from the control device 2. The control unit 42 may also be protected by a resin coating or cushioning material to protect it from impacts such as balls.

[0029] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of an operation screen of the control device 2. As shown in FIG. The operation screen of the control device 2 includes, for example, an icon 211 for selecting a light-emitting device, an icon 212 for selecting whether to light or turn off the light, an icon 213 for selecting the light-emitting time or the light-off time, and an icon 214 for confirming the selected content. Although not shown, it may also be possible to select a mode or select or input a voice.

[0030] Icon 211 selects a light emitting device 4. If multiple light emitting devices 4 exist, multiple light emitting devices 4 can be selected.

[0031] Icon 212 selects whether to light or turn off the light-emitting device 4 selected by icon 211. If there are multiple light-emitting devices 4, it is possible to select whether to light or turn off each of the light-emitting devices 4. For example, although not shown, it is possible to select one light-emitting device 4 to light up at regular intervals and another light-emitting device to turn off. Furthermore, it is also possible to freely select the order in which the light-emitting devices 4 light up or turn off among the multiple light-emitting devices 4.

[0032] Icon 213 selects the time for lighting or extinguishing the light selected by icon 212. If there are multiple light emitting devices 4, the time for each light emitting device 4 can be selected.

[0033] Icon 214 determines the light-emitting device 4 selected by icon 211, the light-on or light-off selected by icon 212, and the time for light-on or light-off selected by icon 213. The determined information is transmitted from transmitter 23 to the light-emitting device 4 selected by icon 211 via the network. [Example]

[0034] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a fixture 5 equipped with a light emitting device 4. As shown in FIG. The fixture 5 is made up of, for example, fixture 5A and fixture 5B, and the light emitting device 4 is provided between fixture 5A and fixture 5B.

[0035] The attachment device 5 can be attached to the training tool 3. For example, if the training tool 3 is substantially truncated cone-shaped and has an open bottom and top, and the attachment device 5 is made of Velcro (registered trademark), the attachment device can be attached by passing it through a hole on the bottom or top of the training tool 3 and then passing it through a hole on the opposite side to the hole through which it was passed. The attachment device 5 can also be a magnet, and the training tool 3 can be attached by sandwiching the inside and outside of the training tool 3 with magnets. The attachment device 5 can also be adhesive, and can be attached to the inside or outside of the training tool 3 so that the light emitted by the light-emitting unit 43 can be seen.

[0036] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of an attachment 5 in which a light emitting device 4 is attached to a training tool 3. The light emitting device 4 is waterproof so that it can be used outdoors. For example, the base (not shown) is coated with a waterproof coating, and the light-emitting part itself is also coated. This allows it to be used outdoors even in rainy weather. The coating may be hardened with a transparent resin. [Example]

[0037] FIG. 7 shows an example of a training tool 3' with a light emitting device 4 integrated therein. The training tool 3' is roughly conical in shape and has a hollow interior. The light-emitting device 4 is embedded in the side of the training tool 3' and attached so that the light-emitting unit 43 protrudes outward. This allows the user to visually recognize the light-emitting unit 43 when using the training tool 3', since it is attached to the outside. Alternatively, the light-emitting unit 43 may not protrude outward and may be attached to the inside of the side. This prevents the light from getting wet when used outdoors. Furthermore, if the training tool 3' is made of a material that enhances light emission, even if the light-emitting unit 43 does not protrude, the light emitted from the inside is emphasized and the entire training tool 3' supports the light emission, so the light can be recognized even if the light-emitting unit 43 is not directly in front of the user. Although not shown, the receiver 41 and light-emitting control unit 42 of the light-emitting device 4 are integrally attached to the inside of the training tool 3'. This prevents direct impacts and increases durability.

[0038] FIG. 8 shows an example of a rechargeable training tool 3' with a light emitting device 4 integrated therein. For example, if the training tool 3' is approximately truncated cone-shaped and has holes on the top surface 31 and bottom surface 32, small, approximately cylindrical resin control rods 6 are passed through the holes on the top and bottom surfaces to manage the training tool 3' collectively.

[0039] The control rod 6 and the light-emitting device 4 of the training tool 3' are in contact with each other. Specifically, the control rod 6 is configured so that electricity flows through the control rod 6 via an outlet 8. Furthermore, there is a plug-in section 61 on the side of the control rod 6, and a terminal 44 extends from the light-emitting device so that the light-emitting device 4 can be charged near a hole in the training tool 3'. The holes in the top surface 31 and bottom surface 32 of the training tool can be passed through the control rod 6, and the terminal 44 of the light-emitting device 4 can be inserted into the plug-in section 61 of the control rod 6 so that charging can be performed. Note that there may be as many plug-in sections as there are light-emitting devices.

[0040] Rechargeable training equipment can also be equipped with a solar panel. For example, if the solar panel is used, the light-emitting device is connected to the solar panel, which is attached to the outer side of the training equipment. This allows the equipment to be used while charging, without the need to insert a terminal.

[0041] The above is merely an example, and a substantially cylindrical rod that can be charged in a non-contact manner may also be used. In the case of a non-contact type, the cylindrical rod may be made to allow electricity to flow through an outlet, and the training equipment may be fitted with a hole in the cylindrical rod, allowing charging to be performed without contact.

[0042] The light emitting device may also be battery-powered. For example, by attaching a battery to the light emitting device, it can be used without charging. In this way, the light emitting device may be made to emit light regardless of whether it is battery-powered or rechargeable. [Explanation of symbols]
