  Next, the transmission unit 205 transmits the instruction information (A team side) generated by the instruction information generation unit 204 from the communication device 26 to the wearable device 1 via the terminal device 5 (S9). At this time, the transmitting unit 205 transmits information to the wearable device 1 with information (flag or the like) indicating that it is instruction information on the A team side.

  Next, the input information analysis unit 203 acquires the sensor information on the B team side from the information received from the sensor 3 and the wearable device 1 in the reception unit 201 (S10). Specifically, the input information analysis unit 203 extracts the sensor 3 related to the spectator seat on the B team side based on the identification information of the sensor 3 included in the sensor information, and extracts the extracted sensor 3 from the B team side. Get the sensor information of. Further, the input information analysis unit 203 extracts the wearable device 1 on the B team side based on the information indicating the team included in the sensor information from the wearable device 1, and extracts the wearable device 1 on the B team side from the extracted wearable device 1. Get sensor information.

  Next, the input information analysis unit 203 determines whether or not the sensor value in the sensor information on the B team side is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (S11). When it is less than the predetermined value (S11: NO), the input information analysis unit 203 determines that the audience on the B team side is not excited, and advances the processing to S14.

  When it is equal to or more than the predetermined value (S11: YES), the input information analysis unit 203 determines that the spectator on the B team side is excited, and evaluates the degree of the excitement at each stage, for example, by the instruction information generation unit. Output to 204. Next, the instruction information generation unit 204 generates instruction information (B team side) that instructs the output according to the evaluation value from the input information analysis unit 203 (S12).

  For example, the input information analysis unit 203 outputs the average (weighted average, arithmetic average, etc.) value of the sensor values (voice, movement, vibration) on the B team side to the instruction information generation unit 204 as an evaluation value. In addition, the input information analysis unit 203 evaluates the degree of excitement for each stage (large, medium, small, etc.) based on the magnitude of the average value of the sensor values (voice, movement, vibration) on the B team side. The value may be output to the instruction information generation unit 204. The instruction information generation unit 204 generates instruction information for instructing output at light intensity, vibration intensity, and sound intensity corresponding to the swelling stage indicated by the evaluation value.

  Next, the transmission unit 205 transmits the instruction information (B team side) generated by the instruction information generation unit 204 from the communication device 26 to the wearable device 1 via the terminal device 5 (S13). At this time, the transmitting unit 205 transmits information to the wearable device 1 with information (flag or the like) indicating that the instruction information is on the B team side.

  Next, the input information analysis unit 203 refers to the information on the current match situation recorded in the match situation management DB 202a and determines whether or not the match is over (S14). When the match is not over (S14: NO), the CPU 20 returns the process to S1 and continues the process. When the match is over (S14: YES), the CPU 20 ends the process.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the wearable device 1. As shown in FIG. 10, when the process is started, the communication processing unit 101 acquires the setting information including the setting of the wireless communication from the FRAM 17 (S20), and the communication connection with the server device 2 is performed based on the setting information. Is performed (S21).

  Next, the output unit 102 determines whether or not the wearable device 1 is in the venue 4 (stadium) based on the entry status stored in the FRAM 17 (S22).

  Whether or not the place is inside the venue 4 is determined based on not only the entry status stored in the FRAM 17 but also the position information of the wearable device 1 included in the sensor information obtained by the measurement of the sensor unit 16. May be. For example, the output unit 102 acquires the position information of the venue 4 at the time of communication connection with the server device 2. Then, the output unit 102 determines whether the position of the wearable device 1 measured by the sensor unit 16 is apart from the position of the venue 4 by a predetermined value or more. In this determination, if the distance is equal to or more than a predetermined value, it may be outside the venue 4, and if the distance is not equal to or more than the predetermined value, it may be inside the venue 4.

  When it is in the venue 4 (S22: YES), the output unit 102 reads out and sets the output setting corresponding to the entry status of “in the venue” (entrance is present) from the FRAM 17 (S23). If it is not in the venue 4 (S22: NO), the output unit 102 reads out the output setting corresponding to the entry status of "outside the venue" (no entry) from the FRAM 17 and sets it (S24). As a result, the wearable device 1 is set for output according to whether or not there is entry into the venue 4.

  Next, the communication processing unit 101 starts transmitting the sensor information obtained by the measurement of the sensor unit 16 to the server device 2 connected by communication (S25). Specifically, when the information indicating the team (A team or B team) is set in the user setting of the FRAM 17, the communication processing unit 101 sends the sensor information with the information indicating the set team. Start sending. As a result, the server device 2 can identify which side of the sensor information from the wearable device 1, the sensor information from the A team or the B team. If the information indicating the team is not set, the transmission of the sensor information is started without adding the information indicating the team.

  Next, the communication processing unit 101 determines whether or not the instruction information from the server device 2 has been received in the wireless communication via the communication unit 12 (S26). When the instruction information has not been received (S26: NO), the communication processing unit 101 advances the processing to S30.

  When the instruction information is received (S26: YES), the output unit 102 determines whether the instruction information is the instruction information designated by the team with the information (flag or the like) indicating that the instruction information is on the side of the A team or the B team. It is determined (S27).

  When the instruction information is not the instruction information designated by the team (S27: NO), the output unit 102 sets the output setting “in the venue” (S23) or the output setting “outside the venue” (S24) based on the received instruction information. Corresponding output is performed (S28). Specifically, the output unit 102 performs output on the display unit 13, the vibration unit 14, and the voice output unit 15 in the pattern of output (display (light emission), vibration, voice, etc.) instructed by the instruction information. At this time, the output from the display unit 13, the vibration unit 14, and the audio output unit 15 is performed according to the output setting set in S23 or S23.

  Therefore, in the wearable device 1, outputs (display (light emission), vibration, voice, etc.) according to the game situation such as “Score of A team”, “Score of B team”, and “Score expression” are performed. Thereby, the user H who wears and uses the wearable device 1 can know the game situation such as the score of the A team, the score of the B team, and the score by display (light emission), vibration, voice and the like.

  Further, the wearable device 1 can change the output according to “inside the venue” or “outside the venue”. For example, the wearable device 1 can be an output corresponding to the user H who is doing housework or work "outside the venue" (display or vibration output without making sound so that the surroundings do not understand).

  If it is the instruction information for the team designation (S27: YES), the output unit 102 determines whether the team designation in the instruction information is the team set in the user setting in the FRAM 17 (S29). For example, when the user is set to support the A team in the user settings, the output unit 102 determines whether the information is the instruction information on the A team side.

  In the case of the set team (S29: YES), the output unit 102 corresponds to the “inside the venue” output setting (S23) or the “outside the venue” output setting (S24) based on the received instruction information. Output is done. Thus, in the wearable device 1, the output (display (light emission), vibration, voice, etc.) indicating the degree of excitement is given to the user H with respect to the audience of the team (A team side or B team side) that the user H supports. Done. For example, the light intensity, vibration intensity, and sound intensity corresponding to the evaluation value of the degree of swelling are output.

  Therefore, the user H wearing the wearable device 1 inside and outside the venue 4 can easily know the degree of excitement of the audience of the team (the A team side or the B team side) supported by the user H.

  The output unit 102 detects a wearable device 1 within the communication range in the communication processing unit 101, and compares the output unit 102 with no output (display (light emission), vibration, voice, etc.) indicating the degree of excitement. It may be big. For example, the output unit 102 may detect the number of other wearable devices 1 within the communication range of the communication processing unit 101, and may output the product by multiplying the detected number by the corresponding value. Accordingly, the user H can know the number of spectators in the same match (event) from the output according to the number of wearable devices 1 within the communication range of the wearable device 1.

  The input information analysis unit 203 of the server device 2 also evaluates the degree of excitement with reference to the sensor information measured by the wearable device 1 for the user H outside the venue 4. For example, the server device 2 receives the sensor information transmitted by each wearable device 1 in S25 of FIG. Then, the server device 2 determines which of the team side users included in the received sensor information is the sensor information. Then, when acquiring the sensor information of the A team side in S6 of FIG. 9, in addition to the sensor information acquired from the sensor 3 installed in the venue, the A team side is also used by using the sensor information received above in S7. It is possible to judge whether the sensor value of is equal to or more than a predetermined value. Therefore, the user H who wears the wearable device 1 in the hall 4 can know the degree of excitement of the user H outside the hall 4.

  S28, S29: Next to NO, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the processing is ended by an ending operation (power off) or the like (S30). When continuing the process (S30: NO), the control unit 11 returns the process to S26.

  As described above, the communication system 100 includes the sensor 3 provided in the venue 4 capable of accommodating spectators, the server device 2 as the transmission processing device, and the wearable device 1. The server device 2 includes a transmission unit 205 that generates and transmits information indicating the degree of excitement of the venue based on the sensor information acquired by the sensor 3. The wearable device 1 includes a communication processing unit 101 that receives the transmitted information, and an output unit 102 that outputs according to the degree of excitement of the venue 4 based on the received information. Therefore, in the communication system 100, the excitement in the venue 4 can be transmitted to the user H outside the venue via the wearable device 1.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which the spectators of the A team or the B team are distinguished and the excitement of the spectators of each team is evaluated has been exemplified, but the spectators of the A team or the B team may not be distinguished. For example, the degree of excitement may be simply evaluated from the sensor 3 installed in the venue 4 without distinguishing the audience seats of the team A or the team B. If the audience for each team is not distinguished, the sensor information is acquired regardless of the team in S6 of FIG. 9, and it is determined in S7 whether the sensor information acquired regardless of the team is a predetermined value or more, and S9 The instruction information may be transmitted in a state where the team is not identified by. Further, in that case, it is not necessary to execute the processing of S10 to S13. Further, in the case of applying to an event that is not related to the score or the score, such as a concert, instead of a match, the processes of S1 to S5 in FIG. 9 do not have to be executed.

  It should be noted that the constituent elements of the illustrated devices do not necessarily have to be physically configured as illustrated. That is, the specific form of distribution / integration of each device is not limited to that shown in the figure, and all or a part of the device may be functionally or physically distributed / arranged in arbitrary units according to various loads or usage conditions. It can be integrated and configured.

  Further, the server device 2 may be implemented as a cloud that provides information indicating the degree of excitement of the venue 4 by outsourcing. In addition, each processing unit virtually realized on the server device 2 does not always need to operate on the server device 2, and if only the processing units necessary for processing are virtually realized. Good.

  The program executed by the server device 2 does not necessarily have to be stored in the storage device 21 from the beginning. For example, each program is stored in a "portable physical medium" such as a flexible disk, which is inserted into the server device 2 and from which data is read, a so-called FD, CD-ROM, DVD disk, magneto-optical disk, IC card, or the like. Then, the server device 2 may acquire and execute each program from these portable physical media. Further, each program is stored in another computer or a server device connected to the server device 2 via a public line, the Internet, a LAN, a WAN, etc., and the server device 2 acquires and executes each program from them. You may do so.
