Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a seat capable of evaluating the physical condition of a seated occupant. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, there is known a device that estimates the seating posture of a seated person by mounting a pressure sensor or the like on a driver's seat (Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-064131 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, conventional devices only evaluate and present the driver's seated posture, which means that the driver is not motivated to use the function, and the function is not used effectively.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to increase motivation to use the function for evaluating the physical condition of an occupant in a seat that can evaluate the physical condition of the occupant. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention, which solves the problem, is a physical condition sharing seat including a seat body, a sensor that acquires measurements for identifying the physical condition of an occupant sitting in the seat body, and a control unit connected to the sensor so as to be able to acquire the measurements from the sensor and configured to be able to communicate with other devices. In this seat, the control unit includes an evaluation unit that calculates an evaluation value of the physical condition based on the measurements, an evaluation value presentation unit that presents the evaluation value to a terminal used by the occupant, a shared data acquisition unit that acquires other-person evaluation values ​​that are evaluation values ​​of the physical conditions of other occupants obtained by the evaluation unit or obtained from other physical condition sharing seats, and a shared data presentation unit that presents the other-person evaluation values ​​to the terminal used by the occupant.

[0007] With such a seat, not only is an evaluation value that evaluates the seated person's physical condition displayed on the device used by the seated person, but also other people's evaluation values, which are evaluation values ​​of the physical conditions of other seated people, are displayed. For example, knowing the evaluation values ​​of others, or knowing that others may know one's own evaluation value, may motivate the seated person to try to improve their evaluation value. In addition, sharing the evaluation value with others can be enjoyable. This can increase the motivation to use the function to evaluate one's physical condition.

[0008] In the seat described above, the control unit may further include a target value presentation unit that presents a target value of the evaluation value to a terminal used by the seated person, and an achievement level calculation unit that calculates a degree of achievement of the target value based on the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation unit before the presentation of the target value and the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation unit after the presentation of the target value. In this case, the shared data acquisition unit may acquire other's achievement levels, which are the degrees of achievement of other seated people, obtained by the achievement level calculation unit or obtained from other physical condition sharing sheets, and the shared data presentation unit may present the other's achievement levels, or the other's evaluation values ​​and the other's achievement levels, to the terminal used by the seated person.

[0009] With this type of seat, not only is the seated person's level of achievement of the target physical condition presented on the device used by the seated person, but also the achievement levels of others, which are the achievement levels of other seated people, may be presented. For example, knowing the achievement levels of others or knowing that others may know their own evaluation value may motivate the seated person to improve their achievement level. Furthermore, sharing the achievement level with others can be enjoyable. This can increase motivation to use the function to evaluate the seated person's physical condition.

[0010] In the seat described above, the shared data presentation unit can present the evaluation value of others to the terminal used by the seat occupant before the target value presentation unit presents the target value.

[0011] Furthermore, after the achievement level calculation unit calculates the achievement level, the shared data presentation unit can present the other person's evaluation value to the terminal used by the seated person.

[0012] Furthermore, the shared data presentation unit can present the evaluation value of another person to the terminal used by the seated person while the sensor is measuring the measurement value of the seated person and the evaluation unit is calculating the evaluation value.

[0013] Furthermore, the shared data presentation unit can present the evaluation value of others to the terminal used by the seated person while the current evaluation value is being presented to the terminal used by the seated person.

[0014] In the above-described seat, the control unit may be provided with an advice presentation unit that obtains advice for increasing the evaluation value based on the evaluation value and presents the advice on a terminal used by the seat occupant.

[0015] With such a seat, the seated person can enjoy referring to the advice presented on the terminal and trying to increase the evaluation value of their physical information.

[0016] In the seat described above, it is preferable that the control unit compares the evaluation value with the evaluation value of others and presents the result to the terminal used by the seat occupant using the evaluation value presentation unit and the shared data presentation unit.

[0017] With such a seat, the evaluation value and the evaluation values ​​of others are displayed in comparison on the terminal used by the seated person, which can further increase the motivation of the seated person.

[0018] In the seat described above, the seat body may be mounted in a vehicle. In this case, the shared data acquisition unit can acquire other person's evaluation value from a physical condition sharing sheet mounted in another vehicle.

[0019] With such a seat, the motivation of the occupant can be further increased by displaying the evaluation values ​​of others obtained from the physical condition sharing sheets of other vehicles on the terminal used by the occupant.

[0020] When the seat body is installed in a vehicle, the shared data acquisition unit acquires the average value of the evaluation values ​​and other people's evaluation values ​​of multiple physical condition sharing sheets in the vehicle, and the shared data presentation unit can present the average value to a terminal used by the seat occupant.

[0021] With this configuration, the seated person can know the average of the evaluation value and the evaluation values ​​of others, which can further increase the motivation of the seated person. [Effects of the Invention]

[0022] According to the present invention, the seated person can be not only informed of his / her own evaluation value of the physical condition but also of the evaluation values ​​of others, thereby increasing the motivation to use the function of evaluating the physical condition.

[0023] Furthermore, by presenting the achievement level of others on the terminal used by the seated person, the seated person can not only know the achievement level of his / her own evaluation value for physical condition, but also, by knowing the achievement levels of others, can increase motivation to use the function for evaluating physical condition.

[0024] Furthermore, by providing the physical condition sharing sheet with an advice presentation section, the seated person can enjoy referring to the advice presented on the terminal and trying to improve the evaluation value of their physical information.

[0025] Furthermore, the seated person's evaluation value and the evaluation value of others are displayed in comparison on the terminal used by the seated person, which can further increase the seated person's motivation.

[0026] In addition, the motivation of the occupant can be further increased by displaying the evaluation values ​​of others obtained from the physical condition sharing sheets of other vehicles on the terminal used by the occupant.

[0027] Furthermore, the seated person can be further motivated by knowing the average of the evaluation value and the evaluation values ​​of others. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0029] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the physical condition sharing seat S is configured as a vehicle seat mounted in, for example, a vehicle CR. The vehicle CR is provided with a physical condition sharing seat S in four seats, for example, two front seats and two rear seats. The vehicle CR also employs an ECU (electronic control unit) 3 that integrates information between the four physical condition sharing seats S, operates them in conjunction with each other, and mediates communication between a smartphone SP, which is an example of a terminal used by a seated person P, and each physical condition sharing seat S. The ECU 3 and each physical condition sharing seat S are connected by a communication line. In this way, the vehicle CR includes the ECU 3 and a plurality of physical condition sharing sheets S, which constitute a system SYS using the physical condition sharing sheets S.

[0030] As shown in Fig. 2, the physical condition sharing seat S has a seat cushion S1 and a seat back S2 that constitute the seat body. The seat cushion S1 and the seat back S2 are provided with a plurality of pressure sensors 8 under their surfaces. The pressure sensors 8 are an example of sensors that acquire measurements to identify the physical condition of an occupant P sitting in the seat body. A control unit 100 is provided at an appropriate location on the seat cushion S1. The control unit 100 is connected to the pressure sensor 8 so as to be able to acquire measured values ​​from the pressure sensor 8. The control unit 100 is also connected to the ECU 3 via a communication line.

[0031] The ECU 3 is provided with a short-range communication device 3A that enables short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or Wi-Fi (registered trademark). This allows the control unit 100 to communicate with the control unit 100 of another physical condition sharing sheet S, which is an example of another device, via the ECU 3.

[0032] 3, the control unit 100 has a measurement value acquisition unit 111, a processing unit 115, a communication unit 180, and a storage unit 190. The control unit 100 has a CPU, ROM, RAM, rewritable non-volatile memory, etc. (not shown), and each functional unit is realized by executing a program stored in advance.

[0033] The measurement value acquisition unit 111 has a function of acquiring pressure measurement values ​​from the multiple pressure sensors 8 at regular control cycles. The measurement values ​​acquired by the measurement value acquisition unit 111 are stored in the storage unit 190 and used by the processing unit 115. The measurement value acquisition unit 111 also has a function of displaying an image on the smartphone SP indicating that measurement is in progress. The image during measurement, for example, is based on the difference between the measurement value measured by each pressure sensor 8 and the ideal pressure value for that pressure sensor 8, and displays this difference in color at a position corresponding to the position of the pressure sensor 8, as shown in FIG. 7. For example, the ideal pressure value can be displayed in green, a measured value greater than the ideal pressure value can be displayed in red, and a measured value less than the ideal pressure value can be displayed in blue.

[0034] Returning to Figure 3, the processing unit 115 has an evaluation unit 121, an evaluation value presentation unit 122, a target value setting unit 131, a target value presentation unit 132, an achievement level calculation unit 141, an achievement level presentation unit 142, an advice presentation unit 151, a control image presentation unit 155, a shared data acquisition unit 161, a shared data presentation unit 162, and a shared data transmission unit 163.

[0035] The evaluation unit 121 has a function of calculating an evaluation value of the physical condition of the seated occupant P based on the measurement values ​​measured by the pressure sensor 8. The method of calculating the evaluation value of the physical condition is arbitrary. The evaluation unit 121 stores the calculated evaluation value in the memory unit 190 as appropriate. Note that the acquired, calculated, set, etc. values ​​are stored in the memory unit 190 as appropriate, and hereinafter, explanations regarding storage will be omitted as appropriate.

[0036] The physical condition of the seated person is exemplified here by the sitting posture of the seated person, but is not limited to this. Examples of the physical condition include the exercise state of the seated person based on the pressure sensor 8, stress and sleepiness state based on the heart rate, cardiovascular disease state, body shape and posture state, and health state based on body temperature.

[0037] When evaluating the sitting posture of a seated person, which will be described later, for example, the balance of pressures applied to each pressure sensor 8 when the seated person is sitting in an ideal position (relative values ​​between the pressure sensors 8) is stored in the memory unit 190. Then, the difference between the measured value (pressure) measured by each pressure sensor 8 and the pressure when the seated person is sitting in an ideal position is calculated, and the sum of these differences is subtracted from a predetermined value (for example, 100). In other words, if the balance of pressures applied to each pressure sensor 8 is ideal, the evaluation can be performed so that it receives 100 points.

[0038] The evaluation value presentation unit 122 has a function of presenting the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation unit 121 to a smartphone SP, which is a terminal used by the seated person P. Here, as an example, data of the evaluation value is sent to the smartphone SP so that the evaluation value can be displayed on the screen of the smartphone SP. In the present invention, "presenting" is not limited to displaying characters or images on a screen such as a liquid crystal display, but includes presenting in any manner that can be recognized by the seated person. For example, the information may be presented by voice, or if the terminal is a device that displays Braille, the information may be presented by displaying Braille on the terminal.

[0039] The target value setting unit 131 has a function of setting a target value for the evaluation value of the seated person P. For example, the target value setting unit 131 can set a value that is a certain percentage higher than the current evaluation value of the seated person P. In addition, an upper limit (for example, 100) can also be set for the target value.

[0040] The target value presentation unit 132 has a function of presenting the target value of the evaluation value set by the target value setting unit 131 on the smartphone SP.

[0041] The achievement level calculation unit 141 has a function of calculating the achievement level of the target value based on the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation unit 121 before the target value is presented and the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation unit 121 after the target value is presented. For example, the achievement level can be found by dividing the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation unit 121 after the target value is presented by the evaluation value calculated by the evaluation unit 121 before the target value is presented.

[0042] The achievement level presenting unit 142 has a function of presenting the achievement level calculated by the achievement level calculating unit 141 on the smartphone SP.

[0043] The advice presentation unit 151 has a function of acquiring advice for increasing the evaluation value based on the current evaluation value of the seated occupant P and presenting the advice to the smartphone SP. This advice can be stored in advance in the storage unit 190 in association with the evaluation value and the content (data) of the advice. Furthermore, in addition to the evaluation value, the pressure balance of the pressure sensor 8 and the content of the advice may also be stored in association with each other. Note that there is no particular limitation on the timing at which the advice is presented.

[0044] The control image presentation unit 155 has a function of presenting, on the smartphone SP, control images such as function selection buttons for using the physical condition measurement and sharing functions.

[0045] The shared data acquisition unit 161 has the function of acquiring the other person evaluation value, which is an evaluation value of the physical condition of other occupants (people who have sat on the physical condition sharing seat S in the past or people who are currently sitting on other physical condition sharing seats S), and the other person achievement level, which is the achievement level of the other occupants.

[0046] The other person's evaluation value acquired by the shared data acquisition unit 161 may be obtained from the evaluation unit 121 of the physical condition sharing sheet S, or may be obtained from another physical condition sharing sheet S. If the other person's evaluation value is obtained from the evaluation unit 121 of the physical condition sharing sheet S, the shared data acquisition unit 161 can acquire it from the storage unit 190. If the other person's evaluation value is obtained from another physical condition sharing sheet S, the shared data acquisition unit 161 can acquire it from the ECU 3.

[0047] The other person's achievement degree acquired by the shared data acquisition unit 161 may be obtained from the achievement degree calculation unit 141 of the physical condition sharing sheet S, or may be obtained from another physical condition sharing sheet S. If the other person's achievement degree is obtained from the achievement degree calculation unit 141 of the physical condition sharing sheet S, the shared data acquisition unit 161 can acquire it from the storage unit 190. If the other person's achievement degree is obtained from another physical condition sharing sheet S, the shared data acquisition unit 161 can acquire it from the ECU 3.

[0048] The shared data acquisition unit 161 also has a function of acquiring the average values ​​of the evaluation values ​​and the evaluation values ​​of others of the multiple physical condition sharing sheets S in the vehicle CR. In this embodiment, the average values ​​of the evaluation values ​​and the evaluation values ​​of others are stored in the ECU 3, and the shared data acquisition unit 161 acquires the average values ​​from the ECU 3. The average values ​​of the evaluation values ​​and the evaluation values ​​of others are, in other words, the average values ​​of the evaluation values ​​calculated by the multiple physical condition sharing sheets S in the vehicle CR that are connected to the ECU 3. This average value may be the average value of all the evaluation values ​​of the occupant P currently seated in the vehicle CR, or may be the average value of all the evaluation values ​​currently and previously calculated by the physical condition sharing sheets S in the vehicle CR. In this embodiment, as an example, the average value is the average value of all the evaluation values ​​of the occupant P currently seated in the vehicle CR.

[0049] The shared data presentation unit 162 has a function of presenting the other person's evaluation value and / or the other person's achievement level to the smartphone SP used by the seated person P. In this embodiment, the shared data presentation unit 162 presents the other person's evaluation value and the other person's achievement level to the smartphone SP.

[0050] The shared data presentation unit 162 also has a function of presenting the evaluation value and the average value of the other person's evaluation value to the smartphone SP. Furthermore, the shared data presentation unit 162 presents the other person's evaluation value to the smartphone SP used by the seated person P before the target value presentation unit 132 presents the target value. Furthermore, after the achievement level calculation unit 141 calculates the achievement level, the shared data presentation unit 162 presents the other person's evaluation value to the terminal used by the seated person P. Furthermore, the shared data presentation unit 162 presents the evaluation value of the other person to the smartphone SP used by the seated person P while the pressure sensor 8 is measuring the measurement value of the seated person P and the evaluation unit 121 is calculating the evaluation value. Additionally, while the current evaluation value is being presented on the smartphone SP used by the seated person P, the shared data presentation unit 162 presents the other person's evaluation value to the smartphone SP used by the seated person P. At this time, together with the evaluation value presentation unit 122, the shared data presentation unit 162 compares the evaluation value with the other person's evaluation value and presents the result to the smartphone SP used by the seated person P.

[0051] The method for comparing and presenting the evaluation value and the other person's evaluation value is arbitrary. For example, the evaluation value and the other person's evaluation value can be displayed side by side on the same screen for comparison. Also, a graph showing the change in the evaluation value over time and a graph showing the change in the other person's evaluation value over time may be displayed overlapping each other.

[0052] The shared data transmission unit 163 has a function of transmitting data obtained by the physical condition sharing sheet S, such as measurement values, evaluation values, target values, and achievement levels, to the ECU 3. This allows multiple physical condition sharing sheets S to share each data via the ECU 3.

[0053] The communication unit 180 has a function for communicating with other devices.

[0054] The storage unit 190 has a function of appropriately storing data required for calculations and processing.

[0055] On the other hand, the ECU 3 includes an average value calculation unit 31 , a data accumulation unit 33 , a data supply unit 34 , an in-vehicle communication unit 38 , and a storage unit 39 .

[0056] The average value calculation unit 31 has a function of calculating the average value of all the evaluation values ​​calculated by the plurality of physical condition sharing sheets S connected to the ECU 3 in the vehicle CR.

[0057] The data accumulation unit 33 has a function of accumulating the data transmitted from each physical condition sharing sheet S in a storage unit 39 .

[0058] The data supply unit 34 has a function of transmitting the data stored in the storage unit 39 to each physical condition sharing sheet S in response to a request from the physical condition sharing sheet S.

[0059] The in-vehicle communication unit has a function of communicating with a plurality of physical condition sharing sheets S in the vehicle CR and connected to the ECU 3. The ECU 3 communicates with the control unit 100 via the in-vehicle communication unit . The ECU 3 also mediates communication between the control unit 100 and the smartphone SP via the short-range communication device 3A. For example, the ECU 3 transmits instructions to present various data from the control unit 100 to the smartphone SP, and transmits operation signals from the smartphone SP to the control unit 100.

[0060] The storage unit 39 has a function of storing data acquired from each physical condition sharing sheet S, the average value calculated by the average value calculation unit 31, and the like.

[0061] An application (app) compatible with the physical condition sharing sheet S is installed on the smartphone SP. This application displays a screen in response to an instruction to present data by the physical condition sharing sheet S. The smartphone SP is also configured to provide a selection screen for functions that can be executed by the physical condition sharing sheet S in response to an instruction from the control unit 100.

[0062] An example of the above-described processing by the control unit 100 and an example of screen transitions on the smartphone SP will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in Fig. 4, when the function of the physical condition sharing sheet S and the application of the smartphone SP are launched, a guide screen SC1 is displayed (S101, see Fig. 6). A start button B1 is displayed on the guide screen SC1, and when the seated person P presses the start button B1, the process proceeds to step S102.

[0063] When the control unit 100 receives a signal that the start button B1 has been pressed, the measurement value acquisition unit 111 acquires measurement values ​​from each pressure sensor 8 (S102). Then, the measurement value acquisition unit 111 displays on the smartphone SP a measurement-in-progress screen SC2, as shown in FIG. 7, indicating that measurement is in progress.

[0064] Then, when the measurement for the predetermined time is completed, the evaluation unit 121 calculates an evaluation value based on the measurement value, and the evaluation value presentation unit 122 presents an evaluation value presentation screen SC3 as shown in FIG. 8 on the smartphone SP (S103). Furthermore, the shared data acquisition unit 161 acquires the other person's evaluation value and the average value (S104), and the shared data presentation unit 162 presents the other person's evaluation value and the average value on the evaluation value presentation screen SC3 of FIG. 8 (S105). That is, the shared data presentation unit 162 compares the evaluation value with the other person's evaluation value and presents the result.

[0065] In addition, the control image presenting unit 155 presents a selection button B2 for a "joyful training course in the car," a selection button B3 for a "stoic training course alone," and an end button B4 as training programs on the evaluation value presenting screen SC3 (S105).

[0066] The control unit 100 then accepts the selection of a program from the smartphone SP (S110). If the seated person P selects the end button B4, the process ends. On the other hand, if the "Enjoyable In-Car Training Course" or the "Stoic Solo Training Course" is selected, the control image presentation unit 155 presents an image corresponding to the training program. For example, if the "Enjoyable In-Car Training Course" is selected, a participant selection screen SC4 for selecting participants, as shown in FIG. 9, is presented. On this screen, the seated person P selects a participant and presses the next button B5 to prompt the control unit 100 to process.

[0067] When the control unit 100 receives a signal from the Next button B5, the target value setting unit 131 sets a target value according to the program, and the target value presenting unit 132 presents this target value on the smartphone SP (S111, target value presenting screen SC5), as shown in Fig. 10. In addition, the advice presenting unit 151 obtains advice based on the evaluation value of the physical condition of the seated person P, and presents it on the target value presenting screen SC5 (S112).

[0068] Then, when the control unit 100 receives a signal that the start button B11 has been pressed, it executes the training program. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, first, the measurement value acquisition unit 111 acquires a measurement value from the pressure sensor 8 (S201) and presents an image of the measurement in progress on a training screen SC6 as shown in FIG. 11. In the image of the measurement in progress, the difference between the measurement value and the ideal value is presented in color (S202). Then, the evaluation unit 121 calculates an evaluation value (S203), and the shared data acquisition unit 161 acquires an evaluation value of another person from the ECU 3 (S204). Then, the evaluation value presentation unit 122 presents the current evaluation value on the training screen SC6 of FIG. 11, and the shared data presentation unit 162 presents the current evaluation value of another person on the training screen SC6 (S205). That is, while the pressure sensor 8 is measuring the measurement value of the seated person P and the evaluation unit 121 is calculating the evaluation value, the shared data presentation unit 162 presents the evaluation value of another person while the current evaluation value is being presented on the smartphone SP used by the seated person P.

[0069] While viewing this training screen SC6, the seated person P adjusts his / her sitting posture so that the color of the parts corresponding to all the pressure sensors 8 in the image (seat image) during measurement turns green, thereby training his / her sitting posture. On the training screen SC6, the control image presentation section 155 presents the remaining time of the training.

[0070] The control unit 100 determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed (S210), and continues the measurement and presentation of S201 to S205 until the predetermined time has elapsed (S210, No). Then, when the predetermined time has elapsed (S210, Yes), the training program ends.

[0071] Then, as shown in FIG. 4, after step S200, the measurement value acquisition unit 111 acquires a measurement value from the pressure sensor 8 (S121). At this time, the measurement value acquisition unit 111 also presents a measurement-in-progress screen SC2 as shown in FIG. 7. The evaluation unit 121 then calculates an evaluation value and an achievement level based on the measurement value after training (S122). The evaluation value presentation unit 122 then presents the evaluation value to the smartphone SP, the achievement level presentation unit 142 presents the achievement level to the smartphone SP, the shared data acquisition unit 161 acquires the other person's evaluation value and the other person's achievement level from the ECU 3, and the shared data presentation unit 162 presents the other person's evaluation value and the other person's achievement level to the smartphone SP (S123). As a result, for example, an achievement level presentation screen SC7 after the end of training is displayed as shown in FIG. 12. It is desirable that the advice presentation unit 151 presents advice based on the evaluation value after the end of training on the achievement level presentation screen SC7. If the seated occupant P presses the end button B12 on this screen, the application of the smartphone SP and the processing of the control unit 100 are terminated.

[0072] Note that, for example, if seated person P selects "Stoic solo training course" on evaluation value presentation screen SC3, presentation of participant selection screen SC4 in Fig. 9 may be omitted, and presentation of other people's evaluation values ​​may be omitted on training screen SC6 in Fig. 11. Also, presentation of other people's achievement levels may be omitted on achievement level presentation screen SC7 in Fig. 12, or past achievement levels of other people may be presented.

[0073] As described above, with the physical condition sharing sheet S and system SYS of this embodiment, the seated person P can not only know the evaluation value of his / her own physical condition, but also the evaluation values ​​of others. Therefore, for example, knowing the evaluation values ​​of others, or knowing that others may know his / her own evaluation value, may motivate him / her to try to improve his / her evaluation value. Furthermore, sharing the evaluation value with others can be enjoyable. This can increase motivation to use the function for evaluating the physical condition.

[0074] Furthermore, the physical condition sharing sheet S and system SYS of this embodiment allow users to know not only their own level of achievement in the evaluation value of their physical condition, but also the level of achievement of others. Therefore, for example, knowing the level of achievement of others, or knowing that others may know their own evaluation value, may motivate users to improve their level of achievement. Furthermore, sharing their level of achievement with others can be enjoyable. This can increase motivation to use the function of evaluating the physical condition.

[0075] The seated person P can also enjoy trying to improve the evaluation value of their physical information by referring to the advice presented on the smartphone SP. Furthermore, the physical condition sharing sheet S displays a comparison of the evaluation value and the evaluation values ​​of others on the smartphone SP used by the seated person P, further increasing the motivation of the seated person P.

[0076] Furthermore, by using the physical condition sharing sheet S, the seated person P can know the average of the evaluation value and the evaluation values ​​of others, which can further increase the motivation of the seated person P.

[0077] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The specific configurations can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0078] For example, like the physical condition sharing sheet S and system SYS of another embodiment shown in Fig. 13, the system can be configured to share physical condition information between a plurality of vehicles CR via a server 4. In this system SYS, as shown in Fig. 14, the ECU 3 is provided with an Internet communication device 3B, and is configured to be able to communicate data with the server 4 via the Internet. The ECU 3 also includes a data transmission unit 35 and a third party data acquisition unit 36.

[0079] The data transmission unit 35 has a function of transmitting to the server 4 various data obtained from the physical condition sharing sheet S in the own vehicle CR. The other person's data acquisition unit 36 ​​has a function of acquiring data on the physical condition of other people obtained in other vehicles CR from the server 4 in response to a request from the physical condition sharing sheet S.

[0080] The shared data acquisition unit 161 of the physical condition sharing sheet S is configured to acquire other people's evaluation values ​​and / or other people's achievement levels from the physical condition sharing sheet S mounted in the other vehicle CR. That is, the shared data acquisition unit 161 acquires the other people's evaluation values ​​and other people's achievement levels from the server 4 via the ECU 3. With this configuration, the seated person P can know the other people's evaluation values ​​and other people's achievement levels of seated people not only in his / her own vehicle but also in other vehicles. By presenting the other people's evaluation values ​​obtained from the physical condition sharing sheet S of the other vehicle CR on the smartphone SP used by the seated person P, the motivation of the seated person P can be further increased.

[0081] In the above embodiment, a smartphone SP is exemplified as the terminal, but the terminal may be a terminal installed in the vehicle CR. Also, a screen is not necessary, and the terminal may be equipped with a microphone and a speaker, and configured to give instructions to the physical condition sharing sheet S by voice and present information by voice.

[0082] In the above embodiment, the shared data presentation unit 162 presents both the other's evaluation value and the other's achievement level to the terminal, but it may also present the other's achievement level instead of the other's evaluation value. In other words, it may present only the other's achievement level without presenting the other's evaluation value.

[0083] In the above embodiment, a seat installed in a vehicle is exemplified as the physical condition sharing sheet, but the physical condition sharing sheet may also be a seat for a vehicle other than a vehicle, or a seat installed in a home, facility, etc. other than a vehicle.

[0084] Furthermore, the elements described in the embodiments and modifications described in this specification can be implemented in appropriate combinations. [Explanation of symbols]
