Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a rest inducing device, a rest inducing method, and a program. [Background technology]

[0002] According to a survey on worker health conditions conducted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in fiscal 2002, 72.2% of workers said they were "tired from regular work," confirming that many workers in Japan are aware of fatigue, and this situation has not changed to the present. Given that fatigue is defined as a state of reduced physical activity, the social loss caused by fatigue is large, and it would be of great significance if efficient measures could be taken to prevent fatigue. Taking appropriate breaks during work is said to be effective in preventing the accumulation of fatigue. For example, previous research has shown that office workers who take frequent breaks before fatigue accumulates to a large extent improve their physical and mental fatigue, and that not taking breaks requires a longer break after work to relieve the same amount of fatigue. In addition, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has established guidelines (Guidelines for Industrial Health Management in VDT ​​Work) to reduce the mental and physical burden on office workers and allow them to continue working without hindrance. In the section on "Continuous work time and work break times," it is stipulated that "continuous work time should not exceed one hour," and "a 10-15 minute work break should be provided between successive work sessions."

[0003] In view of this, there is a system that displays a message encouraging a worker to take a break on an information terminal that the worker is using during work, as a trigger for the worker to take a break (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2012-69096 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, as with the technology in Patent Document 1, displaying a message encouraging a worker to take a break on the information terminal they are using while working can sometimes make the worker feel uncomfortable, as if their work has been interrupted.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0013] <1. Appearance> First, the external configuration of the rest inducing device will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the external configuration of a rest inducing device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The break induction device 10 is a device that is provided in a position within the user's field of vision (e.g., on a desk) in a workspace WS (e.g., a private booth) where the user works, and encourages the user to take a break. The break induction device 10 is a device that is different from the device that the user uses for work. The device that the user uses for work is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a PC (Personal Computer), etc. As shown in Fig. 1, the rest inducing device 10 includes a detection unit 102 and a display unit 105. The detection unit 102 and the display unit 105 are provided, for example, on the front side of the rest inducing device 10 as shown in Fig. 1. The positions at which the detection unit 102 and the display unit 105 are provided are not limited to the front side of the rest inducing device 10. The detection unit 102 is a button or the like that accepts an operational input. The display unit 105 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display.

[0014] <2. Functional configuration> Next, a functional configuration of the rest inducing device 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of a functional configuration of the rest inducing device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the rest induction device 10 includes an effort acquisition unit 101, a detection unit 102, a timing unit 103, a display control unit 104, and a display unit 105.

[0015] The workload acquisition unit 101 acquires the workload of the user. The workload may indicate the amount of work performed by the user, the duration of the work, or the progress of the work. The duration of the work is specifically the time during which the user continues to work without taking a break. For example, the workload acquisition unit 101 may measure the time elapsed since the user started the work and determine the workload based on the measured time. In this case, the workload acquisition unit 101 may determine the time when the user started the work when a human sensor or a door sensor detects entry into the workspace WS, or may determine the time when the user started the work based on the power usage status of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) equipment such as a device used by the user. In addition, the workload acquisition unit 101 may acquire the number of keystrokes on a keyboard from a personal computer used by the user and determine the workload based on the acquired number of keystrokes.

[0016] The detection unit 102 detects that the user has taken a break. The detection unit 102 is operated by the user and is, for example, a button. The detection unit 102 detects that the user has taken a break based on the user's operation of the detection unit 102. For example, after taking a break, the user presses the detection unit 102 which is a button. The detection unit 102 determines that the user has taken a break when the button is pressed by the user and an input is received.

[0017] The timer unit 103 measures time.

[0018] The display control unit 104 controls the display of the display unit 105. In order to inform the user of the amount of work completed by the user, the display control unit 104 displays the amount of work completed by the user on the display unit 105 of the rest guidance device 10, which is a device different from the device used by the user for work. For example, when a predetermined time has passed since the user started work without taking a break, the display control unit 104 displays the amount of work completed by the user on the display unit 105. In addition, when a predetermined time has passed since the display unit 105 displayed the amount of work completed by the user, the display control unit 104 sets the display unit 105 to a state in which the amount of work completed by the user is not displayed (for example, hidden). In this way, the display control unit 104 intermittently displays the amount of work completed by the user on the display unit 105 until the user takes a break. Hereinafter, the time for which the display of the amount of work on display unit 105 is maintained (i.e., the time from when the amount of work is displayed until when it is hidden) is also referred to as the "display maintenance time." In addition, hereinafter, the time from when the user starts work until when the amount of work is displayed for the first time, and the time from when the amount of work is displayed on display unit 105 until when the amount of work is displayed again on display unit 105 (first time, second time, and third time in the claims) are also referred to as the "display interval time." Note that the display interval time may be the time from when the amount of work is displayed on display unit 105 until when the amount of work is next displayed, or may be the time from when the amount of work displayed on display unit 105 is hidden until when the amount of work is next displayed. In the following, in this embodiment, an example will be described in which the display interval time is the time from when the amount of work is displayed on display unit 105 until when the amount of work is next displayed.

[0019] Specifically, the display control unit 104 displays the amount of work completed by the user (hereinafter also referred to as the "first amount of work") on the display unit 105 for the first time after the display interval time has elapsed since the user started the work. The first amount of work is the amount of work completed by the user from the time the user started the work until the first amount of work is displayed. The display control unit 104 hides the first amount of work after the display maintenance time has elapsed since the first amount of work was displayed on the display unit 105. Furthermore, after displaying the first amount of work on display unit 105, display control unit 104 displays the amount of work completed by the user (hereinafter also referred to as the "second amount of work") on display unit 105 after a display interval time (first time in claims) has elapsed. The second amount of work is the amount of work completed by the user from when the user starts a task until the second amount of work is displayed. After display control unit 104 displays the second amount of work on display unit 105, display control unit 104 hides the second amount of work after a display maintenance time has elapsed. Furthermore, after displaying the second amount of work on display unit 105, display control unit 104 displays the amount of work completed by the user (hereinafter also referred to as the "third amount of work") on display unit 105 after a display interval time (second time in claims) has elapsed. The third amount of work is the amount of work completed by the user from when the user starts work until the third amount of work is displayed. After the display control unit 104 displays the third amount of work on display unit 105, the display control unit 104 hides the third amount of work after a display maintenance time has elapsed. In this manner, the display control unit 104 repeatedly displays and hides the amount of work completed by the user until the user takes a break.

[0020] The display control unit 104 shortens the display interval time each time the amount of work completed by the user is displayed and hidden. For example, the above-mentioned second time is shorter than the above-mentioned first time. When the user takes a break, the display control unit 104 sets the display interval time from when the amount of work completed by the user after the user takes a break is displayed for the first time on the display unit 105 until the amount of work completed by the user is displayed again on the display unit 105 as the first time. When the display unit 105 repeatedly displays and hides the amount of work completed by the user without the user taking a break a predetermined number of times, the display control unit 104 may keep the display interval time constant.

[0021] The display unit 105 displays the amount of work.

[0022] <3.Operation> Next, the operation of the rest inducing device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0023] (Timing of displaying work volume) The display timing when the rest inducing device 10 displays the amount of work will be described with reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 are image diagrams showing an example of the display timing when the rest inducing device 10 displays the amount of work according to the embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 3 shows an example of a case where the user does not take a break even when the workload is displayed on display unit 105. Fig. 4 shows an example of a case where the user takes a break every time the workload is displayed on display unit 105. The horizontal axis in Figs. 3 and 4 shows the elapsed time (in minutes) from when the user started working. In Figs. 3 and 4, the dashed lines indicate the display timing for displaying the workload to induce a break, and the shaded portions indicate the display maintenance time.

[0024] In the example shown in FIG. 3, the display interval time until the first display is x1=60 minutes, the display interval time until the second display is x2=30 minutes, the display interval time until the third display is x3=20 minutes, and the display interval time until the nth display (n is an integer of 4 or more) is x n In the illustrated example, (n≧4)=10 minutes and the display maintenance time y=3 minutes. The display interval time and the display maintenance time corresponding to each display count are set in the rest guidance device 10 in advance.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 3, first, when x1=60 minutes have elapsed since the user started working, the display control unit 104 displays the first time (display of the amount of work) to guide the user to take a break. Then, the display control unit 104 erases the displayed amount of work after the display maintenance time has elapsed since displaying the amount of work. If the worker does not take a break, such as when he or she wants to continue working despite being prompted to take a break, the display control unit 104 displays the amount of work a second time when x2=30 minutes, which is shorter than the previous display interval time x1=60 minutes, has elapsed since the previous amount of work was displayed. After that, the display control unit 104 displays the amount of work a third time when x3=20 minutes, which is shorter than the previous display interval time x2=30 minutes, has elapsed. After that, the display control unit 104 erases the amount of work a second time when x3=20 minutes, which is shorter than the previous display interval time x3=20 minutes, has elapsed. nIf the number of times the display is made reaches four or more without the user taking a resting action, the display control unit 104 will display the image for the fourth time after a certain period of time x n =Every 10 minutes, the amount of work is displayed to encourage the user to take a break.

[0026] In this way, the rest guidance device 10 does not display the amount of work for a long time at first, and shortens the display interval time until the next display each time the user skips or misses the display. In this way, the rest guidance device 10 increases the opportunities for the user to take a rest action. However, if the display interval time becomes shorter than the display maintenance time y, the amount of work will be displayed all the time. Since too frequent display increases the likelihood of causing discomfort to the user, in this embodiment the display interval time is set to 10 minutes at the shortest, and all display interval times from x4 onwards are set to 10 minutes.

[0027] The display interval time shown in Fig. 3 is an example and is not limited to this. For example, the display interval time may be variable for each user while maintaining the condition that the display interval time is gradually shortened if the user does not take a break.

[0028] 4, the display interval time until the first display is x1=60 minutes, the display interval time until the second display is x2=60 minutes, the display interval time until the third display is x3=60 minutes, and the display maintenance time y=3 minutes. The display interval time and the display maintenance time corresponding to each display count are set in advance in the rest guidance device 10.

[0029] When taking a break, the user presses a button on the detection unit 102 installed in front of the rest guidance device 10. When the button receives an input, the detection unit 102 detects that the user has taken a break. When the user has taken a break, the display control unit 104 resets the number of displays to 0 and the display interval time to x1=60 minutes. Therefore, when the user takes a break for each display, the display control unit 104 displays the amount of work every 60 minutes as shown in FIG. 4. In other words, when the user has taken a break, the display control unit 104 does not shorten the display interval time and does not display the amount of work again until 60 minutes have passed.

[0030] (Break Induction Processing) Next, the flow of the rest induction process executed by the rest induction device 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the rest induction process executed by the rest induction device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention. When the user starts work, the rest induction device 10 executes the process shown in Fig. 5.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 5, first, the display control unit 104 initializes the display interval time to x1 and the display count to 0 (step S101).

[0032] Next, the detection unit 102 determines whether the user has taken a break (step S102). For example, the detection unit 102 determines that the user has taken a break if the button has received an input, and determines that the user has not taken a break if the button has not received an input. If it is determined that the user has taken a break (step S102: Yes), the detection unit 102 returns the process to step S101. On the other hand, if it is determined that the user has not taken a break (step S102: No), the detection unit 102 advances the process to step S103.

[0033] When the process proceeds to step S103, the display control unit 104 determines whether or not the display interval time has elapsed (step S103). If it is determined that the display interval time has elapsed (step S103: Yes), the display control unit 104 advances the process to step S104. On the other hand, if it is determined that the display interval time has not elapsed (step S103: No), the display control unit 104 returns the process to step S102.

[0034] Next, the work amount obtaining unit 101 obtains the work amount completed by the user (step S104).

[0035] Next, the display control unit 104 displays the amount of work acquired by the work amount acquisition unit 101 on the display unit 105 (step S105). At this time, the display control unit 104 adds 1 to the number of times of display.

[0036] Next, the display control unit 104 determines whether the number of times the display has been performed exceeds a predetermined number of times (step S106). If it is determined that the number of times displayed has exceeded the predetermined number of times (step S106: Yes), the display control unit 104 advances the process to step S108. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of times displayed has not exceeded the predetermined number of times (step S106: No), the display control unit 104 advances the process to step S107.

[0037] If the process proceeds to step S107, the display control unit 104 shortens the display interval time in accordance with the number of times the display has been performed (step S107). Then, the display control unit 104 proceeds to step S108.

[0038] When the process proceeds to step S108, the display control unit 104 determines whether or not the display maintenance time has elapsed since the amount of work was displayed (step S108). If it is determined that the display maintenance time has elapsed (step S108: Yes), the display control unit 104 advances the process to step S109. On the other hand, if it is determined that the display maintenance time has not elapsed (step S108: No), the display control unit 104 executes the process of step S108 again.

[0039] When the process proceeds to step S109, the display control unit 104 erases the amount of work displayed on the display unit 105 (step S109). Then, the display control unit 104 returns the process to step S102.

[0040] As described above, the rest induction device 10 in this embodiment includes a work amount acquisition unit 101 that acquires the amount of work completed by the user, a detection unit 102 that detects that the user has taken a break, and a display control unit 104 that displays the amount of work completed by the user on a device (display unit 105 of the rest induction device 10) other than the device used by the user for work, in order to inform the user of the amount of work completed by the user. The display control unit 104 intermittently displays the amount of work completed by the user on different devices until the user takes a break, and after displaying the amount of work completed by the user on a different device, displays the amount of work completed by the user on a different device after a display interval time (first time) has elapsed, and after displaying the amount of work completed by the user on a different device after a display interval time (first time) has elapsed.

[0041] With this configuration, the rest guidance device 10 displays the amount of work completed by the user, which allows the user to recognize his / her own efforts and results, and makes the user feel that it is okay to take a break. Also, by displaying the amount of work completed by the user on a device other than the device the user uses for work, the user can be gently encouraged to take a break without feeling that "his / her work has been interrupted." Therefore, the discomfort felt by the user when encouraging the user to take a break while working can be reduced.

[0042] In addition, by shortening the time until the next display of the workload each time the user skips or misses the display of the workload, it is possible to increase the opportunities for the user to take a break. This makes it possible to prevent the user from continuing work for too long. Therefore, it is possible to encourage the user to take a break without forcibly interrupting or interrupting the work that the user has completed, suppress the accumulation of fatigue in the user, and contribute to improving the productivity of the office.

[0043] Furthermore, when the user takes a break, the display control unit 104 returns the shortened display interval time to the original time (i.e., sets the display interval time to the first time). This makes it possible to prevent the workload from being displayed immediately after the user takes a break. In other words, since the workload is not displayed frequently after the user takes a break, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the user will feel uncomfortable due to frequent displays.

[0044] Furthermore, if the display and non-display of the workload is repeated a predetermined number of times on the display unit 105 without the user taking a break, the display control unit 104 makes the display interval time constant. This prevents the display from being displayed too frequently, reducing the possibility that the user will feel uncomfortable due to frequent displays.

[0045] Furthermore, when the display maintenance time has elapsed since the amount of work was displayed, the display control unit 104 sets the display unit 105 of the rest guidance device 10 not to display the amount of work completed by the user. In this way, by erasing the display once, it is possible to make the user more likely to notice the next display.

[0046] The rest induction device 10 in the above-described embodiment may be realized in whole or in part by a computer. In that case, a program for realizing this function may be recorded in a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded in the recording medium may be read into a computer system and executed to realize the function. The term "computer system" as used herein includes hardware such as an OS (Operating System) and peripheral devices. The term "computer-readable recording medium" refers to portable media such as flexible disks, optical magnetic disks, ROMs (Read Only Memory), and CD-ROMs (Compact Disc Read Only Memory), and storage devices such as hard disks built into a computer system. The term "computer-readable recording medium" may also include a medium that dynamically holds a program for a short period of time, such as a communication line when a program is transmitted via a network such as the Internet or a communication line such as a telephone line, and a medium that holds a program for a certain period of time, such as a volatile memory inside a computer system that is a server or client in that case. The above-described program may be a program for realizing a part of the above-described function, or may be a program that can realize the above-described function in combination with a program already recorded in the computer system, or may be a program that is realized using a programmable logic device such as an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

[0047] Although an embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and designs that do not deviate from the gist of the present invention are also included.

[0048] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the detection unit 102 detects that the user has taken a break by pressing a button, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the detection unit 102 may detect that the user has taken a break by other methods that cause the user to leave some kind of signal during the break (for example, launching a specific software program, using a device that contributes to refreshing, etc.).

[0049] In addition, in order to allow the user to record that he or she has actively taken a break, the workspace WS may have a function (break mode) that sets the environment within the workspace WS to conditions suitable for a break (lighting conditions, background music (BGM), scent, etc.). The setting conditions for the break mode may be set by each individual according to personal preference. For example, when a button on the detection unit 102 is pressed, the workspace WS may automatically transition the environment within the workspace WS to a break mode suitable for a break. In this way, a user who sees the amount of work displayed on the break guidance device 10 can smoothly adjust his or her workspace WS to an indoor environment suitable for a break simply by pressing a button.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the first display timing of the workload is set to a predetermined time (x1=60 minutes in the above embodiment) after the user starts the work, but the first display timing is not limited to this. For example, the display control unit 104 may set the first display timing to a timing when it is determined that the user's concentration is decreasing based on the user's behavior or biological information acquired from a wearable device worn by the user.

[0051] In the above embodiment, a private booth is used as the workspace WS, but the present invention is not limited to this and can be applied to an open space or the like.

[0052] Furthermore, the functions of each unit other than the display unit 105 included in the rest guidance device 10 described above may be included in another information processing device (for example, a device used by a user while working, etc.). [Explanation of symbols]
