TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a health management support system, and more particularly to a health management support system that can change daily living behaviors for the prevention of so-called lifestyle-related diseases, and can assist in habitualizing a better life pattern by one's own power. Related to management support system.
[0002]
[Prior art]
With regard to diet, etc., there is a known net service that aggregates personal information and introduces foods and dietary habits that are considered effective for dieting. In particular, no effective system has yet been found that achieves improvement in eating behavior and exercise behavior through counseling and the like using a computer, and can utilize the counseling and the like for personal health management.
[0003]
Accurate medical and health knowledge and habits of proper eating and exercising behaviors in daily life are important for proper health management of individuals. It is considered to be extremely effective.
[0004]
However, even if the effectiveness of such counseling is recognized, the number of counselors is limited, or the counselor does not have sufficient means for collecting and transmitting personal information necessary for proper counseling. In fact, in reality, desirable counseling is not widely practiced.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, the problem of the present invention, in view of the above circumstances, for individuals who wish to improve their own health by improving their daily living behavior, especially eating and exercise behaviors for the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases, It is an object of the present invention to provide a health management support system that enables a counselor as an expert to easily and appropriately provide appropriate support, thereby reliably and effectively achieving improvement in living behavior.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a health management support system according to the present invention comprises a system using a computer as information recording / analyzing means, and means for inputting information for health management of each individual from outside, and input information. Means for recording and totalizing the input information, comparing and analyzing the input information with a preset reference value and / or a target value set by each individual or each individual and a counselor, and the input information and its totalization Means for outputting at least a part of the information and the comparison / analysis information to a specific health care supporter so that the information can be used as needed.
[0007]
In this health management support system, the health management information of each individual preferably includes daily eating behavior data and exercise behavior data.
[0008]
In addition, the specific health care supporter includes at least one of a counselor and a healthcare business operator involved in each individual. In other words, these specific health care supporters can obtain and read at least part of the above input information and its total information and comparison / analysis information at any time as necessary. It is preferred that These specific health care supporters can share the database, and can make efficient plans and the like. Unwanted information leakage can be easily prevented by using appropriate ID numbers and passwords.
[0009]
In addition, the counselor is selected from at least a dietitian, a health exercising finger, and a medical person involved in each individual. Nutritionists, in particular, can make a significant contribution, and healthcare professionals, especially doctors and nurses, can contribute as needed. The health athletic finger can also contribute to counseling appropriate exercise behavior.
[0010]
Further, in the comparison / analysis by the comparison / analysis means, counseling data by a counselor can be referred to. In other words, by referring to counseling data that has been performed up to that point, it is possible to provide more appropriate counseling for the future and, for example, if a counselor is forced to change for some reason, the past Data can be used effectively.
[0011]
In the health management support system according to the present invention, the calorie intake of the individual can be automatically calculated from the eating behavior data, and the excess or deficiency with respect to the reference value or the target value can be automatically calculated. Similarly, it is possible to automatically calculate the amount of exercise of the individual from the above-mentioned exercise behavior data, to automatically calculate the excess or deficiency with respect to the reference value or the target value, and to automatically determine the bias of the exercise type. By referring to the automatically calculated data and the automatic determination result, the counselor's labor for counseling can be greatly reduced, and it is possible to cope with a shortage of counselors.
[0012]
Furthermore, in the health management support system according to the present invention, by grasping the characteristics and abilities of an individual, it becomes possible to perform more appropriate counseling for that individual. For example, counseling with words that are more acceptable to the individual or words that are more interesting to the individual will enable more effective and more appropriate counseling. In addition, it is more effective and more effective if counseling is presented for exercise behavior, etc., by presenting an exercise behavior improvement menu that is more acceptable to the individual or presenting an exercise behavior improvement menu that shows more interest to the individual. Appropriate counseling can be performed.
[0013]
From such a viewpoint, in the health care support system according to the present invention, it is preferable to be able to use a program that can automatically grasp the characteristics and capabilities of an individual using a computer. For example, the health management support system according to the present invention may further include a computer for morphologically analyzing the language used by each individual in the input information and / or the language used by each individual at the time of counseling by the counselor, and setting a predetermined text. By estimating the characteristics of the individual, extracting the most effective language group for counseling for the individual at the time of counseling, and making it available to the specific health care supporter as needed It is preferable to have a means for outputting.
[0014]
More specifically, (a) a word in a language group used by each individual is extracted as a morpheme by comparing the word with a text preset by a computer, and the extracted morpheme is composed of a preset group. In addition to the classification into a plurality of factors, the factor scores set for each factor are aggregated and weighted for each factor, and the internal values that the individual basically has are linear models of the weighted factors. As

The personal characteristics and / or personal abilities estimated in this way are used for judging the appropriateness of counseling for the individual and for judging matters to be corrected. The program for estimating the personal characteristics and abilities is exemplified, for example, as YRM described later.
[0018]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 illustrates the basic concept of a health management support system according to the present invention. That is, in the present system, each individual is first made aware of his / her own life issues regarding health management, and supports (supports) the awakening of that awareness. In this support, a friendly third party, that is, a counselor, is encouraged to confirm his / her own tasks and provides guidance on living activities for specific improvements. Then, in order to actually improve, emphasis is placed on building a lifestyle pattern for improvement, and support is provided for proper eating and exercise habits through repetition.
[0019]
More specifically, for example, in the above-mentioned awareness of one's own living task, the task of eating is recognized by self-recording eating behavior. In addition, the subject of exercise life is recognized by self-recording exercise behavior. Furthermore, the target of the dietary life and the exercise life for each month is set, and the self-confirmed feedback is given, and compared with the target value.
[0020]
In addition, in awakening support for awareness, for example, a telephone follow-up by a nutrition manager as a counselor is performed once a month. It can also be used for counseling by doctors and nurses.
[0021]
By changing the eating behavior and the exercise behavior to appropriate ones and repeating the learning for, for example, about nine months, a desired effect can be expected.
[0022]
The overall configuration of the health management support system according to the present invention is, for example, as shown in FIG. The support (support) secretariat 100 is set up, for example, as a support center in the area, and a general database 101 is constructed by a computer there. That is, the comprehensive database 101 is constructed so that the data 102 input directly from the user (individual) via a personal computer, the Internet or the like, and the data input at the secretariat side can be centrally managed. It is also possible to input the data 103 using paper as a medium for a person who cannot use or does not want to use a personal computer. In this case, the secretariat performs a data digitizing operation 104.
[0023]
The specific counselor 105 involved in the individual can keep track of the individual subject from the database 101 in the latest state, and can, for example, perform appropriate telephone counseling. At this time, data can be shared with doctors, nurses, insurers, and caseworkers.
[0024]
Further, the specific insurance business operator 106 involved in the individual can access the database 101 and grasp the status of the insurance participant in real time as necessary.
[0025]
Therefore, a system configuration centering on the database of the health management support system as described above is as shown in FIG. 3, for example. The database 101 stores comprehensive data such as health diagnosis data, goal management data, diary data, dietary data, exercise life data, counseling data, and the like, and the individual-specific health behavior recording system 111 is applied to individual users. Then, necessary initial data and daily data are input. For the counselor, for example, an individual telephone counseling system 112 is applied, and the data is stored in the database 101 as record data. As a result, the counselor can read and modify necessary data at any time, and can provide appropriate health care support through living behavior guidance and the like by telephone. Further, necessary management data (management data summary) 113 can be exchanged with the database 101 for the health insurance union, the operation manager thereof, and the medical staff. As a result, the health insurance company or the like can retrieve the data of the insurance participant at any time as necessary, which can contribute to smooth business operation. In some cases, it is also possible to improve the health of the participant and reduce the operating expenses. Leakage of personal information and the like can be easily avoided by setting an appropriate ID number and password.
[0026]
Further, from the viewpoint of each individual, the system according to the present invention is operated by a flow 120 as shown in FIG. 4, for example. When registering as a member of this system, you will be asked to ask about your lifestyle and conduct a physical checkup by mail or a website, or if you have done a physical checkup beforehand, enter the result and Health examination results. Then, the secretariat will hold a video seminar with videos on lifestyle-related diseases edited in advance, and have registered individual members acquire knowledge about lifestyle-related diseases. Then, the goal of life improvement for health management using this system is set. In particular, set personalized behavioral goals for diet and exercise. First of all, as a monthly healthy life record, daily eating behavior and exercise behavior are input and recorded as a health diary. Counselors contact each individual through encouragement emails and telephone counseling. In addition, as a monthly summary, the activity record and the counseling record for each month, and the results thereof are totaled. In addition to conducting regular postal medical examinations and the like, the results after attending the program are summarized in chronological order so that the degree of effect can be read and judged. Finally, the overall progress and effects after the elapse of the predetermined period are summarized as an overall summary, for example, as a change over the year. Of course, in these series of steps, the actual battle for actual health is important.However, if necessary, exercise seminars and meals based on healthy recipes are held to interest each individual. It is preferable to have or enhance.
[0027]
In the execution flow as described above, various menus may be prepared. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, after registering as a member, one's own homepage can be automatically generated for each individual. In this, for example, first, a final goal after a lapse of a predetermined period (for example, 9 months) is set, converted into a monthly goal and set, and daily activities are reviewed toward the goal. can do. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the entire reference screen 130 can be output and displayed. For example, a target setting sheet 131 is inserted as an item in the reference screen 130, and a monthly target is set from a nine-month target. Self-evaluation can be performed for each item such as eating habits and exercise. In addition, for example, an item such as "Jima no Hiroba" 132 can be set as one's home page, and the user's diary and the like can be disclosed in the item. In addition, items such as the walking rally 133 are set with respect to the walking exercise, and, for example, the number of steps taken is reflected as the 53rd order on the Tokaido, so that the relationship between oneself and the person running the top can be grasped at a glance. You can also do things that will motivate you to compete. Further, it is possible to set a graphing item 134 for automatically graphing the physical condition (for example, weight and body fat), the number of steps, and the like, so that the monthly transition can be visually recognized.
[0028]
In addition, we will execute the target eating behavior and exercise behavior more specifically, and record and confirm more specific data on these in order to add interest during the execution process Preferably. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a reference input screen 140 on which each individual can input daily actions and requests is set, and in this, for example, items on the intake calorie input screen 141 are set. Here, it is possible to automatically calculate calorie intake by directly connecting to a calorie database of many foods and simply inputting in a natural language. In addition, by setting the items on the calorie consumption input screen 142 and connecting them directly to the calorie consumption database for a wide range of exercise activities up to daily activities, simply entering the approximate time of each exercise activity automatically Calculation can be performed. Furthermore, it is also possible to provide personal data and counseling data to the health union and the like, as needed, and also to provide a total data thereof from these record databases. For example, a counseling record once a month, and information such as a diary, a medical record, and a subjective evaluation graph are fed back to the health union via the health union feedback data screen 143, so that the company can protect individual health.・ It is possible to establish a cooperative system regardless of outside the company.
[0029]
Thus, in the system according to the present invention, it is possible to adopt various support systems. In the health care support system according to the present invention, if a program for grasping (estimating) the characteristics and abilities of an individual is added to the above-described system, more appropriate counseling for the individual can be performed. . In other words, if the characteristics and abilities of an individual can be properly estimated, words that are more acceptable to the individual and words that show the individual's interest, and that a menu that is appropriate to the individual's abilities can be presented, and more effective And more appropriate counseling can be performed.
[0030]
For example, the following program can be adopted as an estimation program for such individual characteristics and abilities (the following program is referred to as YRM in this specification). This YRM (personal characteristic / ability estimation) method will be described. The personal characteristics and abilities estimated by this YRM can be used for proper judgment of counseling for the analysis target, judgment of characteristics and abilities to be corrected, etc., and for the individual or the counselor. Can also be used for determination and execution of optimal counseling.
[0031]
The above YRM is obtained by using a computer.
(A) A word in a language group used by each individual is extracted as a morpheme by collating with a text set in advance by a computer, and the extracted morpheme is classified into a plurality of factors of a predetermined group. Along with, factor scores set for each factor are aggregated and weighted for each factor, and the internal values that the individual basically has are obtained as a linear model of each of the weighted factors,
(B) extracting words used as morphemes from the linguistic activity of the individual when the specific evaluation target is given to the individual by comparing the words used with the text preset by the computer; The extracted morphemes are classified into a plurality of factors consisting of a preset group, the factor scores set for each factor are totaled, weighted for each factor, and the target evaluation values that the individual has at that time are displayed. , Determined as a linear model of each of the weighted factors,
(C) Estimating each value individually by expressing each linear model of the internal values and the target evaluation values individually, and / or expressing them in substantially the same dimensional area. Is a program for estimating comprehensive personal characteristics including each value.
[0032]
Alternatively, using a computer, (d) extracting words as morphemes by collating words in a language group used by each individual against texts preset by the computer, and extracting the extracted morphemes from a preset group. Categorized into a plurality of factors, the factor scores set for each factor are totaled, weighted for each factor, and the internal values that the individual basically has, the linear value of each of the weighted factors As a model,
(E) extracting words used as morphemes from the linguistic activity of the individual when the specific evaluation target is given to the individual by comparing the words used with the text preset by the computer; The extracted morphemes are classified into a plurality of factors consisting of a preset group, the factor scores set for each factor are totaled, weighted for each factor, and the target evaluation values that the individual has at that time are displayed. , Determined as a linear model of each of the weighted factors,
(F) A stimulus for at least one of the five senses of an individual is randomly applied, a response to the applied stimulus is detected, and the processing suitability at that time, including the processing capability of the individual, is determined from the response result and the reaction time as a linear model. Asked,
(G) The linear values of the internal values, the target evaluation values, and the processing suitability are individually expressed to individually estimate each value and the processing suitability, and / or substantially the same. It is a program that estimates overall personal characteristics and abilities including values and processing suitability by expressing them in a dimensional area.
[0033]
In this method of estimating individual characteristics and abilities, first, the internal values possessed by an individual can be obtained as a linear model. For example, from the analysis of words (morphemes) expressing themselves, psychological It can be obtained as a linear model including notation elements, and based on that, it is possible to estimate the behavior process of the individual. Also, by analyzing words (morphemes) that are considered to represent a given target, it is possible to obtain a target evaluation value as a linear model, and it is possible to estimate the motivation of the individual's behavior based on that. It becomes. In addition, from a given stimulus, for example, a physical attribute of processing (eg, processing speed) for given information, processing suitability including processing capability, in particular, a processing pattern of the individual can be obtained as a linear model. Further, by obtaining a processing capability for a simple load such as an addition capability as a linear model, it is possible to extract, for example, stress and stability related to information processing from the linear model.
[0034]
Since it is possible to express all of the individual's internal values, target evaluation values, and processing suitability as a linear model, it is possible to analyze and represent each characteristic individually, and in particular, to have the same dimension. In the area, for example, it is possible to comprehensively include all of them as one personal characteristic diagram. In other words, it is possible to comprehensively and accurately estimate the process from the start of psychological behavior to actual behavior, including behavior patterns, motivations for behavior, processing patterns, stress and stability, etc. Effective information that can be actually used for counseling for each individual is provided.
[0035]
In the following, an embodiment of a method for individually obtaining each of the linear models of the internal values, the target evaluation values, and the processing suitability will be described, and subsequently, these characteristics will be described in substantially the same dimensional area. In the following, a method of estimating comprehensive personal characteristics including each value and processing suitability will be described.
[0036]
FIG. 7 shows an example of a questionnaire table in which vocabularies expressing one's own words are input and set in the computer. The questionnaire table H1 shown in FIG. 7 is obtained by selecting and enumerating vocabulary words extracted by repeating trial and error for many years. The questionnaire table H1 is a questionnaire table actually used for extracting personal internal values on the scale of tens of thousands. is there.
[0037]
Each vocabulary in the table H1 is classified into a plurality of factors representatively representing internal values, and each vocabulary is given a factor score for each factor. The classification into a plurality of factors and the assignment of factor scores for each factor are performed by statistical processing from a nationwide population.
[0038]
Each factor is set to the following six, for example, as shown in FIG.
yp1: Ambitious factors
yp2: serious factor
yp3: factor
yp4: quiet factor
yp5: gentle care lovers
yp6: bright diplomacy factor
[0039]
From the questionnaire collection results for each individual with respect to the questionnaire table as described above, a table in which each vocabulary is weighted for each factor by the factor score is created, and for each individual, the factor scores in the weighting table are totaled, thereby obtaining each factor. Separate weighting can be performed. That is, the individual's internal values YP
YP = yp1 + yp2 + yp3 + yp4 + yp5 + yp6
And can be obtained as a linear model. In this embodiment, the internal values YP are obtained as a linear model based on the six-dimensional factor scores yp1 to yp6, but the present invention is not limited to this.
As described above, first, personal characteristics relating to the individual's internal values YP can be extracted using a computer.
[0040]
Similarly, personal characteristics relating to the object evaluation value OVA for a given object can be extracted using a computer.
For example, FIG. 9 shows an example of a questionnaire table input and set in a computer, in which a vocabulary expressing a given object when given is given. The questionnaire table H2 shown in FIG. 9 is obtained by selecting and enumerating vocabulary words extracted by repeating trial and error for many years, and is a questionnaire table actually used for extracting individual target evaluation values on a tens of thousands of people. is there.
[0041]
Each vocabulary in Table H2 is classified into a plurality of factors representatively representing the target evaluation values, and each vocabulary is given a factor score for each factor. The classification into a plurality of factors and the assignment of factor scores for each factor are performed by statistical processing from a nationwide population.
[0042]
Each factor is set to the following seven, for example, as shown in FIG.
ova1: Decorative (a strong value factor with decorative implications)
ova2: Fun (immediate "Fun" pursuit factor)
ova3: Pragmatics (Pragmatic factor)
ova4: Heartful (memory / affection factors belonging to things)
ova5: Health (Relaxing relaxation factors mainly in homes)
ova6: Self Saving (factor that saves itself)
ova7: Feed (Food factor)
[0043]
From the questionnaire collection results for each individual with respect to the questionnaire table as described above, a table in which each vocabulary is weighted for each factor by the factor score is created, and for each individual, the factor scores in the weighting table are totaled, thereby obtaining each factor. Separate weighting can be performed. In other words, the target evaluation value OVA of the individual is
OVA = ova1 + ova2 + ova3 + ova4 + ova5 + ova6
+ Ova7
And can be obtained as a linear model. In this embodiment, the target evaluation value OVA is obtained as a linear model based on a seven-dimensional factor score of ova1 to ova7, but is not limited to this.
In this manner, the personality of the individual with respect to the target evaluation value OVA can also be extracted using the computer.
[0044]
In the above description, the personality of the individual's internal values YP and the target evaluation values OVA is extracted only from the results of the questionnaire collection for each individual, but the information obtained through information transmission means such as the Internet is used. It is also possible to extract the personality of each individual. For example, personal information is obtained through information transmission means (for example, the Internet), and morphological analysis is performed on random information from the obtained individual (that is, the vocabulary in the obtained information is determined by the meaning of each word. Then, the obtained morphemes are collated with a preset semantic dictionary to create a semantic table for the language used for each individual. Then, the created individual's semantic table and the linear model of another person in the above-explained internal values extraction method or the target evaluation values extraction method and the aggregation result in the weighting table for creating the linear model are calculated. Compare and collate with correlation. If there is a good one, it is possible to extract the linear model of the individual from the correlation without the questionnaire aggregation result. If there is a similar one, the linear model of the individual can be extracted from the similar correlation. The model can be estimated. From this extraction or estimation result, it is possible to estimate and extract the individual's internal values or target evaluation values as a linear model.
[0045]
As described above, the individual's behavioral process for the object is estimated from the individual characteristics of the internal values obtained as a linear model, and the individual's behavioral motivation for the object is estimated from the individual characteristics of the object evaluation values obtained as a linear model. Can be estimated, and a suitable method can be automatically presented to the individual. Such automatic presentation of a suitable method obtained from the estimated internal values and the target evaluation values can be applied to counseling even with each of them alone.
[0046]
In the above-mentioned YRM, in addition to the estimation of the internal values and the target evaluation values as described above, the suitability of the individual for processing is obtained as a linear model, and the total individual characteristics (information processing ability) included in these characteristics are estimated. Can be done.
[0047]
In the above-mentioned YRM, the processing aptitude is a processing aptitude at the time including a processing ability of the individual based on a response to the applied stimulus by randomly applying a stimulus to at least one of the five senses of the individual and detecting the response to the applied stimulus. As a linear model. Such a processing suitability can be determined by the processing capability inspection apparatus for inspecting the processing capability as described below, for example, in the linear model. FIG. 11 shows an example of a basic configuration of a processing capability inspection apparatus using a computer. FIG. 12 shows an example of the configuration of a stimulus applying section and a reaction detecting section when the above-mentioned processing capability test is applied to a Kraepelin test as a simple load test.
[0048]
The processing capability testing device 1 shown in FIG. 11 for testing the processing capability of the individual to the applied stimulus of the subject includes a stimulus to at least one of the senses of the subject, for example, visual, auditory, or tactile sensation. A stimulus applying means 2 for randomly and repeatedly applying the stimulus to the subject, a reaction detecting means 3 for detecting the reaction of the subject to the repeatedly applied stimulus, and a time required for the subject to respond to the repeatedly applied stimulus Response time measuring means 4 for measuring the response time, recording means 5 for recording the reaction result of the subject and the measurement result by the reaction time measuring means 4, and the recording result by the recording means 5 in association with the applied stimulus. An analysis means 6 for analyzing the reaction characteristics of the examiner is provided. Further, a display unit 7 for displaying or printing out the record information from the recording unit 5 and the analysis result information from the analysis unit 6 as necessary is provided. The analysis result information from the analysis means 6 can be sent to the host computer 9 via the display means 7 or directly, for example, via the transfer means 8.
[0049]
The stimulus applying means 2 generates a stimulus that appeals to the subject's sight, hearing, and touch, and presents a task. The stimulus by the stimulus applying means 2 is continued, for example, until the subject responds, and after the subject responds, the next stimulus is applied, and this operation is continuously repeated. The type of the stimulus is changed at random so that the response characteristics of the subject to the applied stimulus can be grasped.
[0050]
The response detecting means 3 causes a subject's response to the repeatedly applied stimulus to be input by a suitable response input device (for example, a pen touch input device), and reads the input response. For example, as a simple load test, an example in which the processing ability test and the estimation in the present invention are applied to the Kraepelin test is shown in FIG. 6. A stimulus presentation area 12 (task presentation area) is set on a screen 11, and Displays two adjacent numbers in the random number sequence in the Kraepelin test. A response input area 13, for example, a reaction input area 13 with a pressure sensor is set below the stimulus presentation area 12, and a response (answer) to the applied stimulus (task) is input to this area 13 by, for example, pen input. The subject inputs using the reaction input device 14 composed of the device. After the start of input by the subject, during the input, or after the input is completed, the right digit of the two numbers is moved to the left, and the next new number is presented in the right digit presentation area, and the Kraepelin test is performed. Is moved to the right by one, and presents the next task. By sequentially repeating this operation, it is possible to present a task equivalent to the Kraepelin test performed using the conventional paper.
[0051]
The reaction time measuring means 4 measures the time required for the subject to respond to the repeatedly applied stimulus, but the simple task of calculating the sum of two numbers in the above-described Kraepelin test involves the subject Since is answered after the calculation is completed, it is considered that so-called "thinking while writing" is not considered, so it is appropriate to measure the time until the start of the answer (reaction). Therefore, once the reaction is started, the sequence may be shifted to the next task.
[0052]
The recording unit 5 records the response result (answer result) of the subject and also records the time required for the response for each stimulus application, that is, the measurement result by the reaction time measurement unit 4. In the present embodiment, the information recorded by the recording means 5 can be displayed or printed out by the display means 7 in the form of raw data as it is. Actually, the detection by the reaction detecting means 3, the measurement by the reaction time measuring means 4, and the recording by the recording means 5 are performed in a very short time so as to be substantially simultaneous. The transition to the next stimulus may be performed at the same time as the recording is completed.

The analysis unit 6 analyzes the response characteristics of the subject by associating the recording result of the recording unit 5 with the applied stimulus. For example, in the above-mentioned Kraepelin test, while judging the correctness of the answer, analyzing the total amount of answers to the sequence presented at each predetermined time, analyzing the distribution of the processing speed (for each predetermined time) for each sequence, The variance, that is, how the processing speed changes within a predetermined short period of time and the magnitude of the change are analyzed. The analysis result by the analysis means 6 can be displayed or printed out by the display means 7. If the information of the analysis result by the analysis means 6 is sent to the host computer 9 via the transfer means 8, the inspection data of a plurality of persons can be collected by the host computer 9 and further analyzed. Further, if information on the analysis result by the analysis means 6 is fed back to the stimulus giving means 2, for example, the stimulus giving method by the stimulus giving means 2 may be appropriately changed according to the analysis result by the analysis means 6. For example, it is possible to perform a target inspection under conditions with even higher accuracy.
[0054]
In the processing capacity inspection apparatus having the above-described configuration, inspection information including a short time element, which could not be obtained by the conventional apparatus, can be obtained with high accuracy, and based on the obtained information, Efficiencies and performance change characteristics that could not be achieved can be analyzed.
[0055]
For example, in the conventional work efficiency test, a method of sequentially solving a task printed on paper is mainly used, and the response of the subject is analyzed collectively for a certain period of time, for example, at intervals of one minute. Was. Of course, even with this conventional method, it was possible to evaluate the work efficiency characteristics of the subject to some extent, but the following points are pointed out as problems.
(1) The processing time for each task cannot be accurately grasped, but can only be grasped as a certain time, for example, an average processing time in one minute. Therefore, it was not possible to grasp the reaction characteristics and the like according to the type of the task.
(2) The variance of the time required to solve each task cannot be estimated.
(3) It is not possible to judge a state where continuous attention is interrupted, a time, a cycle, and the like.
(4) When sustained attention is interrupted, it is impossible to determine how long attention will be restored.
(5) It is not possible to estimate how much processing power is different between when attention is maintained and when attention is interrupted.
[0056]
However, such a processing capability inspection apparatus as described above can solve all of these problems. That is, regarding the above (1), for example, in the Kraepelin test, there is no guarantee that all the tasks are homogeneous, and the calculation time is considered to be slightly different between 3 + 6 and 8 + 4 depending on the presence or absence of carry-over, and the average processing time is estimated. In order to do this, it is impossible to make a determination unless the time required to process each task is accurately measured, and it is not possible to make a determination according to the conventional method. Since the measurement is measured, the average processing time is calculated accurately, and furthermore, the degree of change in the individual task processing time is accurately measured in relation to individual differences and types of tasks.
[0057]
Regarding the above (2), for example, even if two people perform the same amount of processing in a certain period of time, each of the tasks has almost the same processing time and a small processing time variance. It is thought that the characteristics of the processing ability are different from those of a large person. Although such a difference cannot be determined by the conventional method, the processing capability inspection apparatus according to the present embodiment accurately measures the distribution and variance in relation to the type of the task and the change in the task processing speed within a certain period of time. Is done.
[0058]
Also in the above (3), (4), and (5), the processing capability inspection apparatus according to the present embodiment accurately measures whether the task is correct or not and the temporal change in the task processing speed, so that the attention of the user can be reduced. When the duration and attention are interrupted, the state of recovery is measured accurately and accurately as a characteristic according to the individual subject.
[0059]
As described above, the above-mentioned processing capability inspection apparatus capable of accurately measuring even detailed analysis information that could not be grasped by the conventional method is applicable not only to visual stimuli, but also to the application of complex stimuli including auditory and tactile sensations. Applicable. That is, as shown in FIG. 13, a visual stimulus presenting unit 21, an auditory stimulus applying unit 22, and a tactile stimulus applying unit 23 are provided, and stimuli applied from these units 21, 22, and 23 are arbitrarily combined to provide a composite stimulus applying unit. 24 can be performed. The stimuli from each of the stimulus applying means 21, 22, 23 may be applied substantially simultaneously, sequentially, or randomly. Further, a composite stimulus, that is, a plurality of types of stimuli may be applied substantially simultaneously or sequentially within one sensory stimulus applying means.
[0060]
Furthermore, it is possible to apply a plurality of types of stimuli and measure characteristics such as how the attention of the subject is dispersed. For example, when considering the driving behavior of a car, it is necessary to take an appropriate action while coping with an ever-changing situation while being surrounded by various kinds of sensory information. In order to evaluate the work ability in such a situation, it is sufficient to check whether or not other information tasks can be detected and processed while performing a simple work task. For example, FIG. 14 shows an example in which a plurality of visual stimuli are applied. In this example, in addition to the above-described Kraepelin test, a plurality of light emitting areas 31 are provided above the task presenting area 12 in the Kraepelin test, and the subject calculates the sum of two numbers presented in the task presenting area 12. During this operation, the position of the blinking light emitting unit is answered. By changing the position of the light emitting unit, the light emitting time, and the intensity, it is possible to evaluate information processing ability in a situation where attention needs to be dispersed. In the configuration shown in FIG. 14A, both the answer of the Kraepelin test and the light emission position of the light emitting region 31 are input to the reaction region 13 by the reaction input device 14, and FIG. In the configuration shown in FIG. 7, the same number of answer areas 32 as the number of light emitting parts in the light emitting area 31 are provided at the lower part of the screen, and the answer of the Kraepelin test is input at the same position as the light emitting position in the light emitting area 31. . In each case, it is necessary to respond to a plurality of visual stimuli substantially simultaneously, and it is possible to measure the characteristics of the subject regarding dispersion of attention.
[0061]
As described above, the processing capability inspection apparatus can accurately and accurately measure the processing capability characteristics of individual subjects, which cannot be measured by the conventional method, particularly considering the time factor. Therefore, the above-described processing capability testing apparatus can be widely applied to evaluation of processing capability characteristics in all fields to which visual stimuli, auditory stimuli, and tactile stimuli are applied individually or in combination, without being limited to the above-described Kraepelin test.
[0062]
For example, as a simple load test, a simple reaction test is performed for 1 minute and an addition operation is performed for 3 minutes three times by using the processing capacity testing apparatus as described above, and the answer time and solution of each question are stored as a text file, Then, for example, by calculating simple statistics, error rates, and basic indices as follows, individual variables are obtained, and using these variables, the principal components related to individual processing suitability can be expressed as a linear model. It is possible.
[0063]
For example, the simple statistic, the error rate, and the basic index are obtained from the work of the simple load test performed three times as described above. The simple statistics and the error rate are obtained as follows, for example.
・ Average time between answers
・ Standard deviation
・ Same as above
・ Same as above maximum and minimum
·Number of responses
further,
・ Number of mistakes
. Miss response rate
Ask for.
[0064]
The basic index is obtained, for example, as follows.
・ First addition average time-Simple response average time
・ Second addition average time-Simple response average time
・ 3rd addition average time-simple response average time
・ Second averaging time ÷ First averaging time
・ 3rd time average time ÷ 1st time average time
・ (Second averaging time-Simple response average time) 第 (First averaging time-Simple response average time)
・ (3rd averaging time-simple response average time) ÷ (1st averaging time-simple response average time)
[0065]
Through the above processing, individual variables are obtained, and principal components analysis relating to individual processing suitability is performed using the variables. For the analysis, for example, the following seven components are extracted. With such a method, it is possible to express the principal component score as a linear model for each individual.
・ First component: Information processing ability
-Second component: accuracy
-Third component: calculation error
・ 4th component: Computing power
・ Fifth component: Learning ability
・ Sixth component: Simple reaction stability
・ Seventh component: Comprehensive ability
