Motor support control device, method, and program

Abstract

To improve action accuracy without deteriorating a sense of agency on an action.SOLUTION: When supporting an action of a user, action result acceptable range information is acquired beforehand, which defines a range in which the user feels that the action has been appropriately done for his or her own action result. In this state, action result information when the user actually does the action is acquired, the acquired action result information is compared to the action result acceptable range information, and intervention intensity for the user is set on the basis of the comparison result. According to the set intervention intensity, intervention processing is executed for the action result information on the user.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

Claims

1. A motion support control device that performs control to assist the user's movements, A first processing unit that acquires exercise result tolerance range information that defines the range in which the user feels they have performed the exercise appropriately, A second processing unit that acquires exercise result information when the user actually performs the exercise, A third processing unit compares the acquired exercise result information with the exercise result tolerance range information, and if the exercise result information is near the boundary of the exercise result tolerance range, sets a higher intervention intensity than when the exercise result information is within the exercise result tolerance range or when the exercise result information is outside the exercise result tolerance range. A fourth processing unit that performs intervention processing on the user's exercise result information according to the set intervention intensity, A motion support control device equipped with the following:

2. The exercise support control device according to claim 1, wherein the first processing unit has the user perform at least one preliminary exercise and obtains preliminary exercise result information, and sets the exercise result tolerance range information based on the obtained preliminary exercise result information.

3. The third processing unit is, Based on the comparison of the exercise result information and the exercise result tolerance range information, if the exercise result information falls within the exercise result tolerance range, a process is performed to set a first intervention intensity having a predetermined small value. If the exercise result information is near the boundary of the acceptable range of exercise results, the process of setting a second intervention intensity greater than the first intervention intensity is performed. If the exercise result information deviates significantly from the acceptable range of exercise results, a third intervention intensity smaller than the second intervention intensity is set. The motion support control device according to claim 1.

4. A motion support control method performed by a control device for assisting a user's movement, A process for obtaining exercise result tolerance range information that defines the range in which the user feels they have performed the exercise appropriately, The process of obtaining exercise result information when the user actually performs the exercise, The process involves comparing the acquired exercise result information with the acceptable range of exercise results information, and if the exercise result information is near the boundary of the acceptable range of exercise results, setting a higher intervention intensity than when the exercise result information is within the acceptable range of exercise results or outside the acceptable range of exercise results. The process of performing an intervention on the user's exercise result information according to the set intervention intensity, A motor support control method comprising the following.

5. A program that causes a processor in a motion support control device to perform a process performed by at least one of the processing units in the motion support control device according to any one of claims 1 to 3.
