  By the way, in the above-described conventional operation information collecting system, each sensor 100, 101, 102, 103, 104 is connected to the control unit 106 by wire, so that the degree of freedom of the installation location of the sensor is small. Since it is wired, the wiring is attached to the bicycle K as an exercise device, which causes problems such as obstructing exercise and deteriorating the appearance. In particular, the wiring connected to the physical condition sensors 103 and 104 is easily disturbed by the movement of the operator, is troublesome for the operator, and the wiring connected by the intense movement of the operator may be disconnected. There is also the problem of disturbing accurate data detection. Furthermore, since the wiring is exposed, there is a problem that watertightness is inferior.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems. (1) While increasing the degree of freedom of the installation location of each sensor, (2) As much as possible of the movement of the operator in data collection from each sensor. It is an object of the present invention to provide an operation information collecting system that does not become an obstacle and (3) can reliably ensure watertightness.

The operation information collection system of the present invention for achieving such an object is an operation information collection system used when the operator operates an exercise device that is operated and moved by the operator.
An exercise device attached to the exercise device and provided with an exercise sensor for detecting an exercise state of the exercise device, and transmitting exercise detection data detected by the exercise sensor by a first wireless communication means;
A detection unit for an operator that is attached to the operator and that is provided with a physical condition sensor that detects the physical condition of the operator, and that transmits physical condition detection data detected by the physical condition sensor using a first wireless communication unit;
The movement detection data of the movement sensor of the detection unit for the exercise apparatus and the physical condition detection data of the physical condition sensor of the detection unit for the operator are received by the first wireless communication means and aggregated. A relay unit that transmits the motion detection data and physical condition detection data by the second wireless communication means;
A configuration is provided that includes a management unit that receives and stores exercise detection data and physical condition detection data collected by the relay unit at a distance from the exercise apparatus by the second wireless communication unit.

  The communication method employed by the first wireless communication unit and the communication method employed by the second wireless communication unit may be the same communication method, or may be different from each other. As a communication method, for example, a method such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or ZigBee (registered trademark) according to IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) 802.15 near field communication standard, IEEE802.11, IEEE802.11ah, or the like. There are a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) system based on a standard and a system based on an infrared communication standard such as IrDA (Infrared Data Association). The communication terminal device and electronic device in the case of a wireless LAN may be a WiFi (registered trademark) device.

  Accordingly, the motion sensor is provided in the exercise device detection unit, the physical condition sensor is provided in the operator detection unit, and the detection data of each sensor is collected in the relay unit by the first wireless communication unit. Wiring is not required between the appliance detection unit, the operator detection unit, and the relay unit, which increases the degree of freedom of installation of the exercise device detection unit, the operator detection unit, and the relay unit. In addition, since the wiring is not necessary, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the operator's movement becomes an obstacle. Furthermore, since the wiring is unnecessary by radio, the exercise device detection unit, the operator detection unit, and the relay unit can be housed in the case to improve the watertightness.

  According to this system, in the exercise device detection unit attached to the exercise device, the exercise sensor detects the exercise state of the exercise device, and wirelessly transmits the detection data to the relay unit. In the operator detection unit worn by the operator, the physical condition sensor detects the physical condition of the operator, and transmits the detection data to the relay unit wirelessly. The relay unit aggregates the motion detection data and the physical condition detection data and transmits them to the management unit by radio. The management unit wirelessly receives and stores the motion detection data and the physical condition detection data collected by the relay unit. Thereby, in the management part, based on the detection data from each sensor, it can grasp | ascertain the exercise state of an exercise device and the physical condition of an operator by correlation. Therefore, the amount of exercise of the operator is obtained quantitatively, the operator's physical strength is determined, the operator's own exercise ability is changed and compared with others, and the operation method of the exercise equipment is grasped in relation to the physical condition. Can be used to improve the operation method.

  If necessary, at least the first wireless communication unit of the first wireless communication unit and the second wireless communication unit is configured to use a communication method based on the short-range wireless communication standard. The short-range wireless communication standard includes the IEEE 802.15 standard, and examples of the communication system of this standard include Bluetooth (registered trademark) and ZigBee (registered trademark). As a result, there is a performance advantage that it is possible to achieve a reduction in size, weight, and power consumption.

In addition, if necessary, the exercise device detection unit, the operator detection unit, and the relay unit receive and charge the operation battery and electric power wirelessly transmitted from an external wireless power supply to the battery. And a power reception control unit for performing the above.
As a result, the battery is charged wirelessly, so there is no need to use a part having a contact portion such as an electrical terminal for charging. Therefore, the exercise device detection unit, the operator detection unit, and the relay unit are respectively provided as cases. It is possible to improve the watertightness by storing in the container.

In addition, if necessary, a camera that images a part of the operator's body engaged with the operation unit of the exercise apparatus together with the operation unit is attached to the exercise apparatus, and the relay unit captures image data from the camera. And having the function of receiving the image data transmitted from the relay unit by the second wireless communication unit and storing it. Yes.
Thereby, since the operation state of the operation part of the exercise device by the operator can be visually grasped, it is possible to know the disadvantages and advantages of the operation, which can be used for improving the operation and the like.
In this case, it is effective that the camera is built in the exercise device detection unit and / or the relay unit. As a result, since the battery is also charged wirelessly for the camera, it is not necessary to use a part having a contact portion such as an electrical terminal for charging. Each can be housed in a case to improve water tightness.

  Furthermore, the operator detection unit is configured to be mounted on the head as necessary. The head has a blood vessel structure suitable for physical condition measurement, and measurement with high reliability is possible. In general, in a competition in which equipment is operated, the head is rarely moved rapidly, and even if the operation of the equipment is intense, data can be collected with as little influence on measurement as possible.

  In this case, it is effective that the detection unit for the operator is provided with a sound output unit that enables the body information based on the detection data of the physical condition sensor to be recognized by hearing. By the sound output means, at least the physical condition can be directly communicated to the operator. Of course, this sound output means may make it possible to recognize the movement information based on the movement detection data detected by the movement sensor of the detection unit for exercise equipment by hearing.

  And if needed, it is set as the said physical condition sensor provided with the lactic acid value sensor which measures a lactic acid value directly. Since the lactic acid value is directly detected, the configuration of the CPU and the like can be simplified. In general, it is said that the lactic acid level in the athlete's body in athletics is related to endurance. However, there are characteristics of each player, and it cannot be generally said that such an evaluation can be made based on the absolute amount of lactic acid. However, it is possible to estimate the endurance unique to each player by accumulating long-term data on the relationship between the amount of exercise, heart rate, body temperature, and lactic acid level of each player.

  According to the present invention, the motion sensor is provided in the exercise device detection unit, the physical condition sensor is provided in the operator detection unit, and the detection data of each sensor is collected in the relay unit by the first wireless communication means. As a result, no wiring is required between the exercise device detection unit, the operator detection unit, and the relay unit, which increases the degree of freedom in installing the exercise device detection unit, the operator detection unit, and the relay unit. To do. In addition, since the wiring is not necessary, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the operator's movement becomes an obstacle. Furthermore, since the wiring is unnecessary by radio, the exercise device detection unit, the operator detection unit, and the relay unit can be housed in the case to improve the watertightness.

  The case body 13 seals the internal equipment and is formed watertight. The structure of the case body 13 is shown. In addition, since the structure of the case body (42, 61) is the same as that of the case body 13 also in the detection part 40 for operators and the relay part 60, it demonstrates in common. Basically, as shown in FIG. 4, the case body 13 (42, 61) is formed of a hermetic packaging material made of a plastic material. Inside the case body 13 (42, 61), a circuit board 21 and a heat source 22 as a surface mounting component are mounted on the insulating sheet 20, and a heat radiating material 23 is provided under the insulating sheet to further conduct heat.

The data transmission unit 17 transmits the detection data to the relay unit 60 by the method of the short-range wireless communication standard.

  Next, the configuration of the wireless power receiving unit 19 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the operator detection unit 40 and the relay unit 60 also include wireless power reception units (48, 71) for the batteries (47, 70), and the configuration is the same as that of the wireless power reception unit 19. To do. The wireless power receiver 19 (48, 71) receives the electromagnetic wave energy transmitted by the power feeding coil 99 in the wireless power feeder 90 described later by the power receiving coil 30. In this power reception, a dedicated module called a power reception control unit 31 is used to charge the battery 18 (47, 70) made of a lithium ion secondary battery. The power reception status is wirelessly transmitted to the wireless power feeder 90 by the power reception status wireless transmission unit 32, and the completion of power reception is displayed on the battery status display unit 33. The battery management system 34 is also operated, and records the status such as SOC (Status of Charge) which is the battery charging status. Based on this record and the like, a battery status transmitter 35 is provided that transmits the status of the battery 18 (47, 70) of the sensor to the wireless power feeder 90. Both are functions using a dedicated IC.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 7 to 12, the operator detection unit 40 is attached to the operator M and provided with a physical condition sensor 41 that detects the physical condition of the operator M, and the physical condition sensor 41 detects the physical condition sensor 41. The physical condition detection data is transmitted by the first wireless communication means. In the embodiment, the communication method employed by the first wireless communication unit is a short-range wireless communication standard method composed of Bluetooth (registered trademark).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the detector 40 for the operator is attached to either the ring-shaped case body 42 that is worn by being crowned on the head from above or the left and right side portions of the case body 42. One end is fastened, and the other end is detachably fastened to one of the other, and a holding band 43 that is suspended under the chin and restrains the case body 42 to the head when fastened. . The case body 42 is provided with a certain degree of flexibility, and through holes 44 for exposing the ears are formed on both sides, so that the use of glasses or the like is not hindered.

  In the case body 42, as shown in FIG. 7, the physical condition sensor 41, the measurement control unit 45 including a microcomputer that temporarily stores the detection data from the physical condition sensor 41, and the detection data of the measurement control unit 45 are transmitted. The data transmission unit 46, the physical condition sensor 41, the measurement control unit 45, and the like for the first wireless communication unit are wirelessly transmitted from an external power supply 90 described later to the battery 47, which is a lithium ion battery. And a wireless power receiving unit 48 for receiving and charging the power. The wireless power receiving unit 48 is the same as shown in FIG. The case body 42 is also equipped with a sound output element 49 relating to sound output means mainly for bone conduction. The case body 42 is formed in a watertight manner by vacuum-sealing the internal equipment. As shown in FIG. 4, the case body 42 is configured in the same manner as described above.

  The physical condition sensor 41 includes a body temperature sensor 41A and a lactic acid / heart rate sensor 41B. The body temperature sensor 41A sends detection data to the measurement control unit 45 as shown in FIG. In the measurement control unit 45, for example, calculation processing is performed as a body temperature measurement value, which is stored in the memory, and at the same time, output controlled to the data transmission unit 46 (BLE transmission module). When the operator detection unit 40 is worn, the positions of the body temperature sensor 41A and the lactic acid / heart rate sensor 41B are adjusted to be predetermined positions. This position adjustment can be confirmed by the condition setting PC before recording is started.

  Next, the lactic acid / heart rate sensor 41B will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 10, the lactic acid / heart rate sensor 41B has a pair of irradiation units (LEDs) 50 and 51 for irradiating the human skin 56 with two types of infrared rays having different wavelengths in the vicinity of the temporal temple. And a pair of light receiving units 52 and 53 each provided with a spectral filter for receiving scattered light scattered from the irradiation units 50 and 51 through the blood vessel 57 in the skin 56. 42 a is an exterior of the case body 42. In the embodiment, light having a wavelength λ1 is emitted from one irradiation unit 50, and light having a wavelength λ2 is emitted from the other irradiation unit 51. Further, the measurement control unit 45 AD-converts data received by the light-receiving units 52 and 53 and converts the data to a required voltage amplitude. After AD conversion, the lactic acid estimated value is calculated and the heartbeat waveform is reproduced. Arithmetic processing units 54 and 55 comprising a microprocessor for performing the above processing are provided.

Specifically, the lactic acid value contained in the bloodstream has a frequency spectrum characteristic of absorption and reflection of two incident lights λ1 and λ2, and applies a principle that can be measured by the characteristic. In the measurement control unit 45, the reflected wave waveforms Sλ1 and Sλ2 are used, and the calculation output y according to the following equation (1) is used as an estimated value (measured value) of lactic acid.
y = (Sλ1-Sλ2) / (Sλ1 + Sλ2) (1)

  This calculation formula is based on the concept of NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index normalized vegetation index) in satellite remote sensing, and the conditions of the irradiation units 50 and 51 and the mounting condition of the case body 42 of the operator detection unit 40 (sweat) Introduce ratio calculation for the purpose of canceling disturbances due to vibration and vibration. Further, in order to effectively perform this measurement, the irradiation units 50 and 51 and the light receiving units 52 and 53 are mounted near the temporal temple with a large blood flow, and the measurement control unit 45 repeatedly performs irradiation and measurement. Assuming that the measured value y has a normal distribution of fluctuations, the averaged calculation of the data repeatedly measured is performed to improve the measurement accuracy, thereby improving the measurement quality. Furthermore, the lactic acid value itself has a slow change over time. Long-term measurement and body temperature value by the body temperature sensor 41A, correction by heart rate, etc. are incorporated to improve the reliability of the measured value.

  For the heart rate, the reflected wave waveforms Sλ1 and Sλ2 are used, and the fundamental frequency is determined by frequency analysis by the measurement control unit 45. Record it as a heart rate and send the result. This analysis also calculates the average and outputs it as the average heart rate within the set time.

  The sound output means will be described. As shown in FIG. 11, the sound output means enables the measurement control unit 45 to recognize the detection data of the physical condition sensor 41 by hearing, and the detection data from the measurement control unit 45 is received by the sound output element 49. A micro sound is output and transmitted directly to the operator M. The sound output element 49 is disposed near both ears of the occipital region and transmits sound by bone conduction. The sound is a “sound effect” that does not interfere with the competition, and the pattern can be appropriately selected according to the preference of the player to be used. The sound can be set using a PC before practice. Furthermore, in the management unit 80 described later, since there is an accumulation (database) of long-term competition measurement data for each individual, the sound condition for the purpose of warning is combined with the judgment criteria of exercise status and physical condition in comparison with the recorded contents. Can be output. This function is effective in improving the competition function by self-management when there is no instructor.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 12, the measurement control unit 45 receives detection data from the physical condition sensor 41, performs an average value calculation, etc., calculates a numerical value useful for competition instruction, and stores it in a memory. At the same time, output control is performed to the data transmission unit 46 (BLE transmission module). The data transmission unit 46 transmits the detection data to the relay unit 60 by the method of the short-range wireless communication standard.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 13 to 15, the relay unit 60 is attached to the bicycle K, and motion detection data of the motion sensor 11 of the exercise equipment detection unit 10 and a physical condition sensor 41 of the operator detection unit 40. The physical condition detection data is received and aggregated by the first wireless communication means, and the aggregated motion detection data and physical condition detection data are transmitted by the second wireless communication means. The communication method employed by the second wireless communication means is a wireless communication standard method composed of Wi-Fi. According to this communication method, since the radio wave transmission power from the physical condition sensor 41 and the motion sensor 11 is very small (Bluetooth Low Energy, BLE), the relay unit 60 is relayed to perform transfer (gateway) to compete further away. Information on players and equipment can be transmitted.

  In addition, the relay unit 60 includes a camera 58 that captures an image of a part of the operator M's body engaged with the operation unit of the bicycle K together with the operation unit. In the embodiment, the camera 58 images the foot of the operator M who pedals the pedal 9 of the bicycle K together with the pedal 9 (camera image unit 82 in FIG. 18). The camera 58 employs a wide-angle lens and widens the viewing angle.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, the relay unit 60 is formed into a unique shape by an exercise device, and interferes with the activity of the operator M (competitor), a place different from the physical condition sensor 41 and the exercise sensor 11. It is attached to the place where it does not affect. In the embodiment, the relay unit 60 is attached to the frame 1 under the saddle 8 of the bicycle K. The relay part 60 is a pair of a case body 61 suspended from the frame 1 of the bicycle K, and a pair of suspensions provided on the upper part of the case body 61 via the attachment part 62 and wound around the frame 1 to suspend the case body 61. A cord body 63 is provided. The cord body 63 is provided with an industrial fastener (surface fastener), and the case body 61 is fixed to the frame 1 by engaging the fastener. The shape of the case body 61 is flat and has a streamlined tip so that air resistance and the like during high speed running are reduced.

  In the case body 61, as shown in FIG.14 and FIG.15, the motion sensor receiver 64 (BLE) which receives the motion detection data of the motion sensor 11 of the exercise device detector 10 and the operator detector 40 are provided.

Imaging data of the camera 58 is stored in the data storage unit 69. Similarly to the above, the battery 70 made of a lithium ion battery for the communication control unit 67 and the like, and the battery 70 is charged by receiving power wirelessly transmitted from an external wireless power supply 90 described later. A wireless power receiving unit 71 is provided. The power of the camera 58 is also supplied from the battery 70. The wireless power receiving unit 71 is the same as shown in FIG. The case body 61 is formed in a watertight manner by vacuum-sealing the internal equipment. The case body 61 is configured in the same manner as shown in FIG.
