[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2020-155956 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Alarms are often installed in the kitchen of a residence. In the kitchen, cooking, washing dishes, and other tasks are done for long periods of time while standing. This often leads to physical discomfort, such as back pain. If people could do stretching exercises in the kitchen, they could relieve muscle tension and prevent back pain. However, there are no mirrors in the kitchen so that people can check their posture, making it difficult to do effective exercises.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a means for enabling a person performing work or the like near an alarm to easily exercise. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the exercise support system of the present invention is an exercise support system that supports human exercise, and includes an alarm device having a human sensor, an alarm device, and a function for determining whether or not the human is exercising appropriately based on the output of the human sensor. When the motion sensor detects a person and detects no person, the motion sensor determines that the person is exercising appropriately.and a notification control unit that activates the notification device to notify the result of the determination by the motion determination unit.

[0007] According to this configuration, it is possible to determine whether a person is exercising appropriately based on the output of the human presence sensor. The results are then reported, so you can check whether you are exercising properly or not. Therefore, people can easily exercise in the vicinity of the alarm. In addition, when all or part of the person's body enters or leaves the detection area of ​​the human presence sensor, the state of the human presence sensor changes between a detection state and a non-detection state. According to this configuration, when the state of the human presence sensor changes between a detection state and a non-detection state, it is determined that the exercise is being performed appropriately, so that it is accurately determined whether the exercise is appropriate or not.

[0008] The present invention The exercise support system is an exercise support system that supports exercise by a person, and includes an alarm having a human presence sensor, an alarm device, an exercise judgment unit that judges whether or not the exercise by the person is being performed appropriately based on the output of the human presence sensor, an alarm control unit that activates the alarm device to notify the judgment result by the exercise judgment unit, and an input device that receives a setting input of an exercise time or a number of times of exercise, and the exercise judgment unit judges whether or not the exercise by the person is being performed appropriately using a judgment condition corresponding to the exercise time or the number of times of exercise received by the input device. do.

[0010] In the present invention, it is preferable that the notification control unit controls the notification device to notify that the human presence sensor has changed its state from a detection state in which it detects a person to a non-detection state in which it does not detect a person, or that the human presence sensor has changed its state from the non-detection state to the detection state.

[0011] When all or part of a person's body enters or leaves the detection area of ​​the human presence sensor, the state of the human presence sensor changes between a detection state and a non-detection state. With this configuration, the state change of the human presence sensor between the detection state and the non-detection state is notified, so that the person can know the change in posture during exercise and can exercise appropriately.

[0012] In the present invention, it is preferable to provide an exercise promotion unit that controls the alarm device to issue an alarm encouraging exercise in response to the state in which the human presence sensor continues to detect a human being for a predetermined period of time.

[0013] According to this configuration, if the human presence sensor continues to detect a person for a specified period of time, the person is encouraged to exercise, so that people who have been staying near the alarm for a long time and have not been moving much can be encouraged to exercise.

[0016] In the present invention, it is preferable that the input device is provided in a portable information terminal.

[0017] According to this configuration, since the exercise type can be set and input using the input device of the portable information terminal, the exercise type can be easily set and input.

[0018] In the present invention, it is preferable to include an installation position determination section that determines whether or not the installation position of the alarm device is appropriate based on the output of the human presence sensor.

[0019] According to this configuration, whether or not the installation location of the alarm is appropriate is determined based on the output of the human presence sensor, so that exercising with the alarm in an inappropriate position can be prevented, and it can be accurately determined whether or not exercise is being performed appropriately.

[0020] In the present invention, it is preferable to further include an exercise position determination unit that determines whether or not a position in which a person is exercising is appropriate based on an output from the human presence sensor.

[0021] According to this configuration, whether or not the position for exercising is appropriate is determined based on the output of the human presence sensor, so that exercising in an inappropriate position can be prevented and it is accurately determined whether or not the exercise is being performed appropriately.

[0022] In the present invention, it is preferable that the notification device is provided in a portable information terminal.

[0023] According to this configuration, notifications are made from the mobile information terminal, so that the results of the determination as to whether or not exercise is being performed appropriately can be notified using various functions of the mobile information terminal, thereby effectively promoting exercise.

[0024] As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, an exercise support program of the present invention is an exercise support program that supports exercise by a person, and includes an output acquisition function that acquires an output of a human presence sensor provided in an alarm device, and a determination as to whether or not the person is exercising appropriately based on the output of the human presence sensor acquired by the output acquisition function. When the motion sensor detects a person and detects no person, the motion sensor determines that the person is exercising appropriately.and a notification function of activating an annunciation device to notify the result of the determination by the exercise determination function, in a computer.

[Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing a control configuration. [Figure 4] 13 is a flowchart showing an exercise support process. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0027] Hereinafter, an exercise support system and an exercise support program according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0028] An overview of an exercise support system 1 is shown in Figure 1. The exercise support system 1 is a system that supports human exercise. This exercise support system 1 uses a human presence sensor 11 provided in an alarm 10 to determine whether or not a person is exercising appropriately, and supports the person's exercise.

[0029] As shown in Figure 3, the alarm 10 comprises a gas sensor 12 that detects flammable gas such as city gas, a CO sensor 13 that detects carbon monoxide, a speaker 14 that emits sound (an example of an "alarm device"), and a communication device 15. When the gas sensor 12 detects flammable gas, and when the CO sensor 13 detects carbon monoxide, an alarm sound or announcement is emitted from the speaker 14.

[0030] As shown in Figure 1, the alarm device 10 is installed on a wall 4 in the kitchen, near a gas appliance 2 and near a ceiling 3. In detail, the alarm device 10 is installed within a horizontal radius of 8 m from the gas appliance 2 (or gas tap) and within 30 cm from the ceiling 3.

[0031] The alarm device 10 is also configured to be connectable to the external Internet N (Figure 3) via a communications device 15. The alarm device 10 is configured to be able to download various content from the Internet N and provide this via the speaker 14. For example, when evacuation information or weather warnings are announced, the alarm device 10 will notify these by voice.

[0032] In this embodiment, the human presence sensor 11 of the alarm device 10 is an infrared sensor. The human presence sensor 11 may also be an ultrasonic or visible light sensor. The human presence sensor 11 of the alarm device 10 detects the presence of a person in the detection area A1. More specifically, the human presence sensor 11 detects infrared rays from the detection area A1.

[0033] 1 and 2, the detection area A1 is an area that spreads three-dimensionally diagonally downward from the human presence sensor 11, spreading like a fan in the vertical direction and also in the horizontal direction. In Fig. 1, an area A2 on the floor 5 that intersects with the detection area A1 is shown in color. When a person is standing in the area A2, the human presence sensor 11 is always in a state of detecting the person.

[0034] The alarm device 10 is configured to provide various content when the human presence sensor 11 detects a person. For example, when the human presence sensor 11 detects a person, the alarm device 10 notifies the downloaded crime prevention information by voice.

[0035] 2, the support of a person's exercise by the exercise support system 1 will be described. The alarm device 10 is configured to be connectable by wireless communication to the mobile information terminal 40 via the communications device 15. In this embodiment, exercise support content is registered in the alarm device 10, an exercise application 52 (Figure 3) is installed in the mobile information terminal 40, and support of a person's exercise is carried out by the alarm device 10 and the mobile information terminal 40.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 3, the mobile information terminal 40 includes a speaker 41 (an example of an "alarm device") that emits sound, a display device 42 (an example of an "alarm device") that displays information, an input device 43 that accepts operational input from a person, and a communication device 44.

[0037] When the human presence sensor 11 of the alarm device 10 detects that a person has been in the kitchen for a while, the exercise application 52 of the mobile information terminal 40 issues a notification encouraging the person to exercise. For example, the exercise application 52 causes the speaker 41 to play an alarm sound, and causes the display device 42 to display a message encouraging the person to exercise (for example, the text "Would you like to stretch?").

[0038] When the person who has received the notification operates the mobile information terminal 40 to input a request to start exercising, the exercise application 52 begins supporting the exercise. Specifically, the exercise application 52 uses the speaker 41 and display device 42 of the mobile information terminal 40, the speaker 14 of the alarm 10, etc. to inform the person of the exercise posture, duration, etc.

[0039] In this embodiment, whether or not a person is exercising appropriately is judged based on the output of the human presence sensor 11, and the judgment result is notified to the person. In the example of Fig. 2, squats are being performed as exercise. When a person is standing in area A2, the human presence sensor 11 is always in a state where it detects the person. Therefore, squats are preferably performed when the person is standing in area A3, which is closer to the wall (closer to the alarm 10) than area A2. As shown in Fig. 1, detection area A1 exists above area A3.

[0040] When a person is standing in area A3 (top of Figure 2), the person's head is located inside detection area A1, so the human presence sensor 11 is in a state where it can detect a person. The exercise application 52 determines that the person is standing based on the output of the human presence sensor 11, and causes the speaker 14 of the alarm 10 to play a voice message saying "Please sit down".

[0041] When a person assumes a lowered posture (bottom of Figure 2), the person's head is located outside the detection area A1, and so the human presence sensor 11 does not detect the person. The exercise application 52 determines, based on the output of the human presence sensor 11, that the person is performing a squat and has assumed a lowered posture, and causes the speaker 14 of the alarm 10 to play a voice message saying, "Please raise your hips."

[0042] When the person lifts his / her hips, the human sensor 11 is again in a state where it can detect a person. The exercise application 52 determines that the person is performing a squat exercise with his / her hips lifted based on the output of the human sensor 11, and determines that the exercise is being performed appropriately. The exercise application 52 adds 1 to the cumulative number of squats.

[0043] The exercise application 52 repeats the above-mentioned squat instructions a predetermined number of times, and records the results of the exercise.

[0044] If the position of the alarm device 10 is too high or too low, there is a possibility that it will not be possible to properly determine whether or not a person is exercising appropriately. In this embodiment, the exercise application 52 is configured to determine whether or not the installation position of the alarm device 10 is appropriate, based on the output of the human presence sensor 11. Specifically, the exercise application 52 has a person actually exercise, and determines whether or not the installation position of the alarm device 10 is appropriate, based on whether or not the output of the human presence sensor 11 changes in conjunction with the person's exercise.

[0045] For example, the exercise application 52 causes the speaker 14 of the alarm device 10 to play audio, and has the person assume a standing posture and a crouching posture while doing squats. The exercise application 52 determines whether or not the installation position of the alarm device 10 is appropriate based on the output of the human presence sensor 11 in both postures. For example, the exercise application 52 determines that the installation position of the alarm device 10 is inappropriate and too high when the human presence sensor 11 does not detect a person in both the standing and sitting postures, determines that the installation position of the alarm device 10 is inappropriate and too low when the human presence sensor 11 detects a person in both the standing and sitting postures, and determines that the installation position of the alarm device 10 is appropriate when the human presence sensor 11 detects a person in the standing posture and does not detect a person in the sitting posture. The exercise application 52 causes the speaker 14 of the alarm device 10 to play audio, and notifies the person of the judgment result of the installation position and instructs them to change the installation position.

[0046] Furthermore, if the position where the person is exercising is too close or too far from the installation position of the alarm device 10, there is a possibility that it will not be possible to appropriately determine whether or not the person is exercising appropriately. In this embodiment, the exercise application 52 is configured to determine whether or not the position where the person is exercising is appropriate, based on the output of the human presence sensor 11. Specifically, the exercise application 52 has the person actually exercise, and determines whether or not the position where the person is exercising is appropriate, based on whether or not the output of the human presence sensor 11 changes in conjunction with the person's exercise.

[0047] For example, the exercise application 52 causes the speaker 14 of the alarm device 10 to play audio, causing the person to perform squats in a standing position and a crouched position. The exercise application 52 determines whether or not the position at which the person performs the exercise is appropriate based on the output of the human presence sensor 11 in both positions. For example, the exercise application 52 determines that the position at which the person performs the exercise is inappropriate and too close to the alarm device 10 when the human presence sensor 11 does not detect a person in both the standing and sitting positions, determines that the position at which the person performs the exercise is inappropriate and too far from the alarm device 10 when the human presence sensor 11 detects a person in both the standing and sitting positions, and determines that the position at which the person performs the exercise is appropriate when the human presence sensor 11 detects a person in a standing position and does not detect a person in a sitting position. The exercise application 52 causes the speaker 14 of the alarm device 10 to play audio, notifying the person of the exercise position determination result and instructing them to change the exercise position.

[0048] In the example described above, the exercise supported by the exercise support system 1 is squats. The exercise support system 1 may be configured to support other exercises, such as stretching exercises, lunge exercises and leg raises, gymnastics, etc. Depending on the type of exercise supported by the exercise support system 1, corresponding content is registered in the alarm device 10, and a corresponding application is installed in the mobile information terminal 40. Of course, one piece of content or application may be configured to be compatible with a plurality of types of exercise.

[0049] The configuration relating to control of the alarm device 10 and mobile information terminal 40 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0050] The alarm device 10 is equipped with a control device 21. The mobile information terminal 40 is equipped with a control device 51. The control devices 21, 51 are so-called ECUs, and are equipped with a memory (HDD, non-volatile RAM, etc., not shown) that stores programs corresponding to the functional units described below, and a CPU (not shown) that executes the programs. The functions of each functional unit are realized by the CPU executing the programs. In other words, the control devices 21, 51 are equipped with non-transitory recording media on which programs are stored.

[0051] The control device 21 of the alarm device 10 comprises, as functional units, an abnormality determination unit 22 and a human detection unit 23.

[0052] The abnormality determination unit 22 determines the presence or absence of a gas leak based on the output of the gas sensor 12. If the abnormality determination unit 22 determines that a gas leak exists, it causes the speaker 14 to play an alarm sound. Furthermore, the abnormality determination unit 22 determines the presence or absence of incomplete combustion based on the output of the CO sensor 13. If the abnormality determination unit 22 determines that incomplete combustion exists, it causes the speaker 14 to play an alarm sound.

[0053] The human detection unit 23 judges whether or not a person is present in the detection area A1 based on the output of the human detection sensor 11. Specifically, when the human detection sensor 11, which is an infrared sensor, is in a detection state where it detects a person, it judges that a person is present in the detection area A1, and when the human detection sensor 11 is in a non-detection state where it does not detect a person, it judges that no person is present in the detection area A1. The control device 21 provides (notifies) the above-mentioned content based on the judgment result of the human detection unit 23. Also, the exercise application 52 of the mobile information terminal 40 supports the above-mentioned exercise based on the judgment result of the human detection unit 23.

[0054] The control device 51 of the mobile information terminal 40 includes, as functional units, an exercise promotion unit 53, an exercise determination unit 54, a notification control unit 55, an installation position determination unit 56, and an exercise position determination unit 57. These functional units configure the exercise application 52 described above.

[0055] The exercise promotion unit 53 controls the speaker 41 and the display device 42 to notify the user of the encouragement to exercise when the state in which the human sensor 11 detects a person continues beyond a predetermined time. Specifically, the exercise promotion unit 53 acquires the judgment result of the human detection unit 23 from the alarm 10. When the state in which the human detection unit 23 judges that a person is present in the detection area A1 (detection state) continues beyond a predetermined threshold time, the exercise promotion unit 53 controls the speaker 41 to play an alarm sound and controls the display device 42 to display a message encouraging exercise (for example, the character string "Would you like to stretch?"). The exercise promotion unit 53 may be configured to be able to set a threshold time that is a criterion for executing the alert, based on a manual operation received by the input device 43.

[0056] The above-mentioned "continuation of the detection state" may include a short period of non-detection state in between. For example, the threshold time is 30 minutes. If the detection state continues for 10 minutes, a non-detection state occurs for 40 seconds, and then the detection state occurs again, the detection state is considered to be continuing. Then, if 30 minutes have passed since the start of the previous detection state and the detection state has continued for a total of more than 30 minutes, the exercise promotion unit 53 issues a notification encouraging exercise.

[0057] The motion determination unit 54 determines whether or not a person is exercising appropriately, based on the output of the human presence sensor 11. Specifically, the motion determination unit 54 acquires the determination result of the human detection unit 23 from the alarm device 10. The motion determination unit 54 determines whether or not a person is exercising appropriately, based on the determination by the human detection unit 23 of whether or not a person is present in the detection area A1.

[0058] For example, the exercise determination unit 54 determines that the exercise is being performed appropriately when the state of the human sensor 11 changes between a detection state in which the human sensor 11 detects a person and a non-detection state in which the human sensor 11 does not detect a person. The exercise determination unit 54 may be configured to determine that the exercise is being performed appropriately when the detection state continues for more than a predetermined first threshold time (corresponding to a state in which the hips are raised before starting a squat) and then the non-detection state continues for more than a predetermined second threshold time (corresponding to a state in which the hips are lowered during a squat).

[0059] It is preferable that the conditions for determining whether an exercise is appropriate by the exercise determination unit 54 are changed according to the type of exercise. For example, the exercise determination unit 54 determines whether or not the person is exercising appropriately using the determination conditions corresponding to the type of exercise received by the input device 43. The input device 43 is configured to receive a setting input of the type of exercise. The "type of exercise" is, for example, stretching, muscle training, yoga, squats, lunge exercises, etc.

[0060] The input device 43 may be configured to accept a setting input of exercise intensity (number of repetitions, time, etc.), and the exercise determination unit 54 may be configured to determine whether the person is exercising appropriately using a determination condition corresponding to the exercise intensity accepted by the input device 43.

[0061] The notification control unit 55 operates the speaker 41 and the display device 42 to notify the result of the determination by the exercise determination unit 54. For example, when a person performs squats, when the person changes from a standing posture (upper part of FIG. 2) to a crouched posture (lower part of FIG. 2), the state of the human sensor 11 changes from a detection state in which the person is detected to a non-detection state in which the person is not detected. The notification control unit 55 notifies the person by making the speaker 41 play a chime sound. When the person changes from a crouched posture (lower part of FIG. 2) to a standing posture (upper part of FIG. 2), the state of the human sensor 11 changes from a non-detection state to a detection state. The notification control unit 55 notifies the person by making the speaker 41 play a chime sound. The notification by the notification control unit 55 may be performed by displaying a mark, an icon, a character, or the like on the display device 42.

[0062] The installation position determination unit 56 determines whether or not the installation position of the alarm device 10 is appropriate, based on the output of the human presence sensor 11. Specifically, the installation position determination unit 56 acquires the determination result of the human detection unit 23 from the alarm device 10. The installation position determination unit 56 determines whether or not the installation position of the alarm device 10 is appropriate, based on the determination by the human detection unit 23 of whether or not a person is present in the detection area A1.

[0063] For example, the installation position determination unit 56 causes the speaker 14 of the alarm device 10 to play audio, and has the person assume a standing posture and a crouching posture while doing squats. The installation position determination unit 56 determines whether or not the installation position of the alarm device 10 is appropriate based on the output of the human presence sensor 11 in both postures. For example, the installation position determination unit 56 determines that the installation position of the alarm device 10 is inappropriate and too high when the human presence sensor 11 does not detect a person in both the standing and sitting postures, determines that the installation position of the alarm device 10 is inappropriate and too low when the human presence sensor 11 detects a person in both the standing and sitting postures, and determines that the installation position of the alarm device 10 is appropriate when the human presence sensor 11 detects a person in a standing posture and does not detect a person in a sitting posture. The installation position determination unit 56 causes the speaker 14 of the alarm device 10 to play audio, and notifies the person of the determination result of the installation position and instructs them to change the installation position.

[0064] The movement position determination unit 57 determines whether or not the position in which a person performs movement is appropriate, based on the output of the human presence sensor 11. Specifically, the movement position determination unit 57 acquires the determination result of the human detection unit 23 from the alarm device 10. The movement position determination unit 57 determines whether or not the installation position of the alarm device 10 is appropriate, based on the determination by the human detection unit 23 of whether or not a person is present in the detection area A1.

[0065] For example, the exercise position determination unit 57 plays sound through the speaker 14 of the alarm device 10 to have the person assume a standing posture and a crouched posture for squatting. The exercise position determination unit 57 determines whether or not the position in which the person performs exercise is appropriate based on the output of the human presence sensor 11 in both postures. For example, when the human presence sensor 11 does not detect a person in both the standing posture and the sitting posture, the exercise position determination unit 57 determines that the position in which the person performs exercise is inappropriate and too close to the alarm device 10, when the human presence sensor 11 detects a person in both the standing posture and the sitting posture, the exercise position determination unit 57 determines that the position in which the person performs exercise is inappropriate and too far from the alarm device 10, and when the human presence sensor 11 detects a person in the standing posture and does not detect a person in the sitting posture, the exercise position determination unit 57 determines that the position in which the person performs exercise is appropriate. The movement position determination section 57 causes the speaker 14 of the alarm device 10 to play sound to notify the person of the movement position determination result and to instruct them to change their movement position.

[0066] A program for realizing the functional units described above is stored in the memory of the mobile information terminal 40. This program is an exercise support program that supports human exercise, and causes a computer to realize an output acquisition function that acquires the output of the human presence sensor 11 provided in the alarm device 10, an exercise determination function that determines whether or not the person is exercising appropriately based on the output of the human presence sensor 11 acquired by the output acquisition function, and an alert function that operates an alert device (speaker 41, display device 42) to alert of the result of the determination made by the exercise determination function.

[0067] The exercise support process performed by exercise support system 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

[0068] The exercise promotion unit 53 judges whether the state in which the human sensor 11 detects a person (detection state) continues for a predetermined time or not (step S101). If the detection state does not continue for a predetermined time or more (step S101: No), step S101 is repeatedly executed.

[0069] If the detected state continues for more than a predetermined time (step S101: Yes), the exercise promotion unit 53 issues a notification encouraging exercise (step S102) and waits for input to start exercise (step S103: No).

[0070] When an input to start exercising is accepted (step S103: Yes), the exercise position determination unit 57 determines whether or not the position where the person is exercising is appropriate (step S104) based on the output of the human sensor 11. If the exercise position is not appropriate (step S104: No), the exercise position determination unit 57 issues an instruction to change the exercise position (step S105) and executes step S104 again.

[0071] If the exercise position is appropriate (step S104: Yes), the exercise application 52 starts supporting the exercise. Specifically, the exercise application 52 notifies the exercise instruction according to the selected exercise type (step S106). The exercise determination unit 54 acquires the output of the human sensor 11 (the determination result of the human detection unit 23) (step S107) and determines whether the exercise according to the exercise instruction is being performed appropriately (step S108). The notification control unit 55 notifies the determination result by the exercise determination unit 54 (step S109).

[0072] If the set number of exercises has not been completed (step S110: No), the process repeats the process from step S106 onward. If the set number of exercises has been completed (step S110: Yes), the exercise application 52 records the exercise results (number of times, time, etc.) (step S111) and ends the process.

[0073] [Another embodiment] (1) In the above embodiment, specific examples of the alarm device 10 and the human presence sensor 11 were explained, but these configurations can be modified as appropriate. For example, the alarm device 10 may be equipped with only one of the gas sensor 12 and the CO sensor 13, or may be equipped with another sensor. Furthermore, the detection area A1 of the human presence sensor 11 may be multiple, or may have another shape.

[0074] (2) Some or all of the functional sections provided in the control device 21 of the alarm device 10 may be provided in the control device 51 of the mobile information terminal 40, or may be provided in a server or the like on the Internet N. Some or all of the functional sections provided in the control device 51 of the mobile information terminal 40 may be provided in the control device 21 of the alarm device 10, or may be provided in a server or the like on the Internet N.
