Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described through embodiments of the invention, but the invention according to the claims is not limited to the following embodiments. Furthermore, not all of the configurations described in the embodiments are necessarily essential as means for solving the problem. For clarification of explanation, the following description and drawings are appropriately omitted and simplified. In each drawing, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicate explanations are omitted as necessary.

[0018] <Embodiment 1> Figure 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of an operating state monitoring system 1 according to Embodiment 1. The operating state monitoring system 1 is a system that monitors the operating state of a subject. Based on the monitoring results, for example, a user such as a caregiver can provide support to bring the subject's movements closer to a desired movement. A specific description will be given below.

[0019] As shown in Figure 1, the operating state monitoring system 1 includes an operating state monitoring device 10 and a plurality of measuring instruments 20. The operating state monitoring device 10 can also be referred to as an operating state monitoring system when used alone. The operating state monitoring device 10 and the plurality of measuring instruments 20 are configured to be able to communicate with each other via a wired or wireless network. Note that the operating state monitoring device 10 and the plurality of measuring instruments 20 may perform short-range wireless communication compliant with standards such as wireless communication based on the Bluetooth (registered trademark) standard, NFC (Near Field Communication), UWB (Ultra Wideband), and WiFi (registered trademark). In the present embodiment, a case where eleven measuring instruments 20 are provided will be described as an example. Hereinafter, each of the eleven measuring instruments 20 is also distinguishably referred to as measuring instruments 20_1 to 20_11.

[0020] Each measuring instrument 20_1 to 20_11 is attached to a specific body part p1 to p11 of the subject P, and uses motion sensors (hereinafter simply referred to as sensors) 21_1 to 21_11, consisting of a gyro sensor and an accelerometer, to detect the movement of body parts p1 to p11. Each measuring instrument 20_1 to 20_11 is associated with body parts p1 to p11 through a pairing process performed with the motion state monitoring device 10.

[0021] Multiple measuring instruments 20 may be equipped with light-emitting units capable of changing the color of the emitted light. For example, a full-color LED (Light Emitting Diode) can be used as the light-emitting unit. As an example, the light-emitting unit may have a configuration in which a red LED chip, a green LED chip, and a blue LED chip are sealed with a light-transmitting resin. By controlling the brightness of the three types of LED chips, the light-emitting unit can achieve a variety of emitted colors.

[0022] The multiple sensors 21 may also include hardware other than the light-emitting unit (e.g., speaker, vibration motor, odor emission unit, low-frequency current generator, electronic paper, display, thermoelectric element, shape-changing unit, etc.). The odor emission unit may include, for example, a fragrance and a shutter.

[0023] Furthermore, each measuring instrument 20 may be equipped with a control unit that controls hardware such as LEDs. The control unit may include a processor and a memory that stores various control programs. In this case, the control unit has the functionality of a computer and performs processing based on various control programs.

[0024] Figure 2 shows an example of the attachment sites for measuring devices 20_1 to 20_11 on subject P's body. In the example in Figure 2, the attachment sites p1 to p11 for measuring devices 20_1 to 20_11 are the right upper arm, right forearm, head, chest (trunk), waist (pelvis), left upper arm, left forearm, right thigh, right lower leg, left thigh, and left lower leg, respectively. Note that it is not necessary for all measuring devices 20_1 to 20_11 to be attached to subject P's body. Only the measuring devices 20_1 to 20_11 necessary for measuring the target movements (including body part movements) that the user wishes to monitor should be attached to subject P's body.

[0025] The movements to be monitored include, for example, right shoulder flexion and extension, right shoulder abduction and adduction, right shoulder internal and external rotation, right elbow flexion and extension, right forearm pronation and supination, head flexion and extension, head rotation, thoracolumbar flexion and extension, thoracolumbar rotation, thoracolumbar lateral flexion, left shoulder flexion and extension, left shoulder abduction and adduction, left shoulder internal and external rotation, left elbow flexion and extension, and left forearm pronation and supination. In addition, the movements to be monitored also include the movement of the body part to which the sensor is attached.

[0026] For example, the monitored movements may include the angles of the joints of subject P's body, measured based on the detection results of multiple sensors, or the angles of the joints in an arbitrary coordinate system, measured based on the detection results of any of the sensors. The monitored movements may be specified by a user, such as a caregiver.

[0027] Here, as an example, we will monitor the flexion and extension of the right elbow of subject P. The flexion and extension of the right elbow can be measured based on the detection results of sensors attached to the right upper arm (part p1) and the right forearm (part p2). In this case, for example, two different measuring instruments are attached to subject P's right upper arm (part p1) and right forearm (part p2).

[0028] Furthermore, users may select multiple different monitored actions simultaneously. For example, a user may select "right elbow flexion / extension" and "right shoulder internal / external rotation," or "left elbow flexion / extension" and "left shoulder internal / external rotation."

[0029] Right elbow flexion and extension can be measured based on the detection results of sensors attached to the right upper arm (part p1) and right forearm (part p2). Similarly, right shoulder internal and external rotation can be measured based on the detection results of sensors attached to the right upper arm (part p1) and right forearm (part p2). In addition, left elbow flexion and extension can be measured based on the detection results of sensors attached to the left upper arm (part p6) and left forearm (part p7). Similarly, left shoulder internal and external rotation can be measured based on the detection results of sensors attached to the left upper arm (part p6) and left forearm (part p7).

[0030] (Example configuration of measuring instruments 20_1 to 20_11) Figure 3 shows an example of the configuration of measuring instrument 20_1. Note that the configurations of measuring instruments 20_2 to 20_11 are the same as those of measuring instrument 20_1, so their explanation is omitted.

[0031] As shown in Figure 3, the measuring instrument 20_1 includes a sensor 21_1, a mounting pad 22_1, and a belt 23_1. The belt 23_1 is formed to be wrapped around the area of ​​the subject P whose movement is to be detected. The sensor 21_1 is incorporated into, for example, the mounting pad 22_1. The mounting pad 22_1, into which the sensor 21_1 is incorporated, is formed to be detachably attached to the belt 23_1.

[0032] Hardware such as LEDs may be attached, for example, to mounting pads 22_1 or belts 23_1.

[0033] Figure 4 shows an example of how the measuring instrument 20_1 is attached to subject P. In the example in Figure 4, the belt 23_1 is wrapped around the upper right arm (part p1), which is one of the parts of subject P's body whose movement is to be detected. The sensor 21_1 is attached to the belt 23_1 via the mounting pad 22_1 after the mapping process and calibration are completed.

[0034] (Example configuration of the operating status monitoring device 10) The operating state monitoring device 10 is a device that outputs a calculation result representing the operating state of subject P based on the detection results (sensing values) of sensors 21_1 to 21_11. The operating state monitoring device 10 may be, for example, a PC (Personal Computer), a mobile phone terminal, a smartphone, or a tablet terminal. The operating state monitoring device 10 is configured to communicate with sensors 21_1 to 21_11 via a network (not shown). The operating state monitoring device 10 can also be called an operating state monitoring system. The operating state monitoring device 10 may include a processor and a memory that stores various control programs. In this case, the operating state monitoring device 10 has the functionality of a computer and performs processing based on various control programs, etc.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1, the operating status monitoring device 10 comprises a display unit 11, a control unit 12, a reception unit 13, and a processing unit 14.

[0036] The display unit 11 is, for example, a display device that displays multiple sensor icons corresponding to multiple sensors 21_1 to 21_11. Figure 5 shows an example of the display screen S displayed on the display unit 11. The area of ​​the display screen S that displays the sensor icons is called the sensor icon display area S1. The display screen including the sensor icon display area S1 includes a schematic diagram of the human body S2 that shows the parts of the body to which the sensors are attached. The display screen S shown in Figure 5 is displayed when processing a one-to-one correspondence between any of the multiple sensors 21 and any of the parts of the subject P to which the sensors are attached p.

[0037] In the example shown in Figure 5, the front and back sides of the human body are displayed separately. The attachment points p1 to p11 of subject P in Figure 2 correspond to p_1 to p_11 in the schematic human body diagram S2 in Figure 5, respectively. Hereafter, as needed, p_1 to p_11 in the schematic human body diagram S2 will be referred to as the right upper arm, right forearm, head, back (trunk), waist (pelvis), left upper arm, left forearm, right thigh, right lower leg, left thigh, and left lower leg, respectively. The display unit 11 can also display the calculation results based on the detection results of one or more sensors, for example, in a graph.

[0038] The control unit 12 displays multiple sensor icons on the display unit 11. The control unit 12 may make the display patterns (e.g., colors) of the multiple sensor icons different from each other. For example, the display color of sensor icon i21_1 in Figure 5 may be red, the display color of sensor icon i21_2 may be blue, the display color of sensor icon i21_3 may be yellow, the display color of sensor icon i21_4 may be green, and the display color of sensor icon i21_5 may be light blue. The display color may also be the color of the outer frame of the sensor icon (e.g., rounded rectangle).

[0039] Furthermore, the control unit 12 may change the display mode (e.g., color, shape) of the sensor icon selected by a tap operation or the like. For example, the display color of the selected sensor icon may blink. Alternatively, the selected sensor icon may change to an icon indicating that the measuring instrument is emitting sound, or to an icon indicating that the measuring instrument is vibrating. The control unit 12 can also perform both making the colors of multiple sensor icons different from each other and changing the display mode of the selected sensor icon.

[0040] The control unit 12 causes multiple measuring instruments to perform different operations depending on the display mode of multiple sensor icons. Specifically, the control unit 12 controls the operation of outputting at least one of the following to notify the surrounding area: sound, text, vibration, motion, light, smell, electric current, image, and heat. The control unit 12 may also perform a process to make the display color of each sensor icon the same as the emission color of the light-emitting part provided on the measuring instrument corresponding to that sensor icon. The user can select a sensor with the same emission color as the display color of the sensor icon, check the human body diagram S2, and actually attach it to the target part p of the subject P. This prevents errors in sensor attachment. The control unit 12 may also transmit information to each sensor indicating the emission color of the light-emitting part of that sensor.

[0041] The control unit 12 may cause the measuring instrument corresponding to the sensor icon selected by the user's tap operation and other measuring instruments to perform different operations from each other. The control unit 12 changes the display mode of the selected sensor icon (e.g., color, blinking, shading, etc.) and causes the measuring instrument corresponding to the selected sensor icon to perform a predetermined operation. The predetermined operation may be the operation of blinking an LED. The predetermined operation may be the operation of outputting sound from the measuring instrument, or the operation of vibrating the measuring instrument with a vibration motor, etc. The predetermined operation may be the operation of releasing the scent from the measuring instrument by opening a shutter placed between the fragrance and the outside air. The predetermined operation may be the operation of supplying a low-frequency current to a conductive material provided on the belt of the measuring instrument, etc. The predetermined operation may be the operation of displaying arbitrary character information or image information on a display or electronic paper attached to the measuring instrument. The predetermined operation may be the operation of generating heat by operating a thermoelectric element. If the pads or bands of the measuring instrument are configured to change shape, the predetermined operation may be the operation of changing the shape of the bands, etc.

[0042] The multiple sensor icons shown above are selected by the user to associate the sensor 21 with the part p to be mounted. The reception unit 13 receives setting operations for the sensor icons displayed on the display unit 11. Setting operations are input operations for the sensor icons to associate the sensor corresponding to the sensor icon with one of the parts p to be mounted. For example, the user moves the sensor icon i21_1 displayed in the sensor icon display area S1 to the upper right arm part p_1 on the human body diagram S2. Specifically, the user drags and drops the sensor icon i21_1 displayed in the sensor icon display area S1 to the upper right arm part p_1 on the human body diagram S2 using mouse operation or touch operation. This setting operation is shown by the dotted line in Figure 5. In this way, the reception unit 13 receives the setting operation for the sensor icons by the user.

[0043] Referring to Figure 1, the processing unit 14 associates the sensor corresponding to the sensor icon with the mounting location on the subject P, according to the set operation. This association process is performed by pairing the operating state monitoring device 10 and the sensor 21 in advance, and linking the identification information of the mounting location p with the identification information of the sensor 21 on the application of the operating state monitoring device 10.

[0044] The operating status monitoring system 1 according to Embodiment 1 can suppress the difficulty in determining which sensor corresponds to which sensor on the display unit.

[0045] Note that the setting operation is not limited to drag and drop. The setting operation can be any operation input for the displayed mounting position. The reception unit 13 may accept the setting operation when the user clicks the sensor icon displayed in the sensor icon display area S1 and the mounting target area in the human body schematic diagram S2 within a predetermined time.

[0046] Alternatively, the user may click on the target area for installation in the human body diagram S2, which may trigger the reception unit 13 to accept the setting operation. In response to this setting operation, the processing unit 14 can automatically associate one of the sensors corresponding to the multiple sensor icons displayed on the display unit 11 with the target area p of the subject P.

[0047] (Operation of the operational status monitoring device 10) Next, the operation of the motion monitoring device 10 will be explained using Figure 6. Figure 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the motion monitoring device 10. Here, as described above, the motion monitoring device 10 will be used to monitor the flexion and extension of the subject P's right elbow. That is, sensors will be attached to the subject P's upper right arm (part p1) and right forearm (part p2), respectively.

[0048] First, the operating status monitoring device 10 displays multiple sensor icons i21_1 to i21_11, each corresponding to one of the multiple measuring instruments, on the display unit 11 (S11).

[0049] The display unit 11 displays a screen that includes a sensor icon display area S1 and a schematic diagram of the human body S2 showing the mounting target area, as shown in Figure 5.

[0050] Furthermore, when the user specifies the monitoring target movement of subject P, the display unit 11 may display the mounting location of the sensor used to measure the specified monitoring target movement. The display unit 11 of the motion state monitoring device 10 can highlight the upper right arm p1 and the right forearm p2 in the human body schematic diagram S2 using a different display method (color, blinking, shading, etc.) than the other parts p3 to p11. That is, in the human body schematic diagram S2 of Figure 5, the upper right arm p1 and the right forearm p2 may be displayed in a different manner than the other parts p3 to p11.

[0051] The control unit 12 then causes the corresponding measuring instruments to perform different operations according to the display patterns of the multiple sensor icons (S12). The control unit 12 may make the display patterns (e.g., color) of the multiple sensor icons different from each other and cause the corresponding measuring instruments to perform operations corresponding to the display patterns (e.g., emission of light of the same color as the display color of the sensor icon). Alternatively, the control unit 12 may change the display pattern (e.g., color, shape) of the selected sensor icon and cause the sensor corresponding to the selected sensor icon to perform a predetermined operation (e.g., audio output).

[0052] Then, in the operating status monitoring device 10, the user, for example, drags and drops one sensor icon i21_1 from the sensor icons i21_1 to i21_11 displayed in the sensor icon display area S1 onto the upper right arm p_1 of the human body schematic diagram S2. As a result, the reception unit 13 accepts the setting operation (S13).

[0053] Subsequently, the operation status monitoring device 10 associates the identification information of sensor 21_1 corresponding to the sensor icon i21_1 with the identification information of the subject P's upper right arm (part p1) to which the sensor is to be attached, according to the set operation. This completes the process of associating sensor 21_1 with subject P's upper right arm (part p1) (S14). Similarly, for other attachment sites (right forearm (part p2)), drag-and-drop with sensor icon i21_2 and the process of associating sensor 21_2 with subject P's right forearm (part p2) are performed. In other words, steps S12 and S13 in Figure 6 can be repeated for each attachment site on the subject.

[0054] After the correspondence between sensor 21_1 and mounting location p1, and between sensor 21_2 and mounting location p2, the sensors 21_1 and 21_2 used to measure the monitored operation are then calibrated (S15). Calibration is a process that measures the output value (error component) of the sensor used to measure the monitored operation in a stationary state, and subtracts that error component from the measured value. In this example, at least sensors 21_1 and 21_2 are calibrated. However, calibration is not limited to sensors used to measure the monitored operation; for example, it may be performed on all sensors 21_1 to 21_11 before the display process of the sensor icon corresponding to the paired sensor.

[0055] After calibration is complete, sensors 21_1 and 21_2 are attached to subject P (S16). Subsequently, the monitored operation is measured based on the detection results of sensors 21_1 and 21_2 (S17).

[0056] The calculation result representing the "right elbow flexion and extension" motion state can be calculated from the difference between the detection result of sensor 21_1 attached to subject P's upper right arm (part p1) and the detection result of sensor 21_2 attached to the right forearm (part p2). The motion state monitoring device 10 generates a calculation result representing the "right elbow flexion and extension" motion state based on the detection results from sensors 21_1 and 21_2, respectively. The display unit 11 displays details of the measurement results (for example, graphed measurement results).

[0057] Thus, the operating status monitoring system according to this embodiment operates the sensors according to the display mode of the sensor icons. This prevents it from becoming difficult to determine which sensor corresponds to which sensor icon.

[0058] Note that the processing order of the operating status monitoring system 1 is not limited to the order shown in Figure 6. For example, calibration may be performed before the display process of the sensor icon corresponding to the paired sensor.

[0059] The operating status monitoring device 10 may be a PC, but it may also be a server, which is not necessarily a personal computer.

[0060] Furthermore, this disclosure can be implemented by having a CPU (Central Processing Unit) execute a computer program to perform part or all of the processing of the operating status monitoring system 1.

[0061] The program described above includes, when loaded into a computer, a set of instructions (or software code) for causing the computer to perform one or more of the functions described in the embodiments. The program may be stored in a non-temporary computer-readable medium or a physical storage medium. Examples, but not limited to, include RAM (Random-Access Memory), ROM (Read-Only Memory), flash memory, SSD (Solid-State Drive), or other memory technologies, CD-ROM, DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), Blu-ray® disc, or other optical disc storage, magnetic cassette, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage, or other magnetic storage devices. The program may be transmitted over a temporary computer-readable medium or a communication medium. Examples, but not limited to, include temporary computer-readable medium or a communication medium that includes electrically, optically, acoustically, or otherwise propagating signals.
