The operation status evaluation device 1 constituting the aerobic exercise auxiliary device includes a walking pole 10, a smartphone 30 (hereinafter referred to as "smartphone 30") as a terminal device, wireless headphones 40, and a server device 50 as an evaluation device. It is equipped with

As shown in FIG. 2, the walking pole 10 includes a main body portion 11, a grip portion 13 as an operating device, and a shock absorbing protrusion 16. The main body part 11 is formed into a bar shape with a circular cross section taken in the longitudinal direction of the main body part 11. A buffer stone protrusion 16 is fixed to the lower end of the main body 11, and a grip part 13 is fixed to the upper end of the main body 11. The buffer protrusion 16 is made of an elastic material such as a rubber material, and is fixed to the lower end of the main body 11 so as to cover the lower end of the main body 11 .

As shown in FIG. 3, the grip section 13 includes a grip section main body section 131, a button switch 132, a strap 133 (see FIG. 2), and a communication device 135. The upper end of the main body 11 is fixed to the lower end of the grip main body 131 . Strap attachment holes 1311 and 1312 into which the lower and upper ends of the strap 133 are inserted are formed at the lower and upper ends of the grip main body 131 . The central portion between the lower end and the upper end of the grip main body 131 constitutes a grasped portion 1313 that is held by the hand of the user P, and is thinner than the lower and upper ends of the grip main body 131. It is formed. Note that in FIG. 3, illustration of the strap 133 is omitted for convenience of explanation.

A button switch 132 and a communication device 135 are provided at the upper end of the grip main body 131. The upper end of the grip main body 131 has a protrusion extending in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the grip main body 131, and the button switch 132 is provided above the protrusion. This allows the user P to press the button switch 132 while walking while holding the central portion of the grip main body 131.

The communication device 135 is configured by, for example, a communication device 135 that can communicate with the smartphone 30 using Bluetooth (registered trademark), and is electrically connected to the button switch 132. When the button switch 132 is operated (pressed) by the user P, the communication device 135 is configured to transmit a signal to the smartphone 30 indicating that the user P has operated the button switch 132.

The smartphone 30 is carried by the user P while the user P is walking. The smartphone 30 communicates with the wireless headphones 40 using Bluetooth (registered trademark), and can ask questions of the game described below by voice. The smartphone 30 also communicates with the communication device 135 of the grip part 13 of the walking pole 10 using Bluetooth (registered trademark), and receives a signal indicating that the user P has operated the button switch 132. input. The smartphone 30 is connected to and can communicate with a server device 50 serving as an evaluation device via an Internet line, and transmits information about the operation of the button switch 132 by the user P to the server device 50. Send.

The server device 50 can communicate with the smartphone 30 via the Internet line, and can receive operation information that the user P operated the button switch 132 sent from the smartphone 30 via the Internet line. It is. Specifically, the server device 50 includes a server computer 51 and a storage medium 52 that can read and write data to and from the server computer 51, and inputs information on the operation by the user P and performs the operations described below. It is configured to evaluate the operation of the button switch 132 by the user P as shown in FIG. Specifically, the server device 50 performs control to determine the ease of solving the questions posed by the smartphone 30, as described below, based on the answers to the questions from the user P.

Next, the game in which the smartphone 30 presents questions will be explained. In the game, questions are asked in the form of a quiz while the user P is doing aerobic exercise, and the user P answers the questions while doing the aerobic exercise. The quiz-style questions in the game are posed from the smartphone 30 and are posed to the user P only by voice via the wireless headphones 40. Then, the user P selects the button switch 132 of either the left or right grip part 13 that the user P thinks is correct in the grip parts 13 of the left and right walking poles 10 that are respectively gripped with the left and right hands of the user P. By pressing , you can answer the game's questions.

As for specific game content, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, questions on games such as "rock, paper, scissors" and "orientation" can be asked to the user P from the smartphone 30 via the wireless headphones 40. be. For example, the user P can select the game "Orientation" by tapping "Orientation" (lightly tapping the screen of the smartphone 30) on the screen shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the exercise time for aerobic exercise and the number of questions asked during that time are displayed, as well as the correct answer rate and reaction speed when the user P played the game in the past. is configured to be

Also, if you want to check your current status while exercising (playing a game), you can do so by tapping the screen of the smartphone 30. Specifically, by tapping the screen of the smartphone 30 during exercise, as shown in FIG. The remaining number of problems (number of problems) is displayed, as well as the number of steps, time, and distance since the start of the current game, the number of problems already solved, and the number of problems already solved. The number of correct answers is configured to be displayed temporarily on the screen of the smartphone 30.

Furthermore, after the exercise is finished, a display as shown in FIG. 12 is displayed on the screen of the smartphone 30. Specifically, as a result of the aerobic exercise and game we did this time, we recorded the number of steps, time (duration of exercise), distance of walking as exercise, number of questions asked in the game, and number of questions asked. The number of correct answers is displayed, and facial expressions are also displayed to indicate whether the results are good or not regarding exercise time and number of questions.

In the game, the user P's rank is divided into 5 levels, including the grade or dan, which is the rank of user P, and the threshold for determining whether the reaction speed, which is the time it takes from asking a question to answering, is judged as "good". The number of questions with different difficulty levels is set in advance. Specifically, as shown in Figure 13, the higher the number of question patterns 1, 2, 3, etc. written in the left column, the higher the difficulty level of the question and the level of reaction speed. It is preset as follows.

Furthermore, regarding the difficulty level of each question, which is divided into five levels, "1" is the easiest and lowest difficulty level, and "5" is the most difficult and high difficulty level. In addition, the larger the number in the question pattern (1, 2, 3, etc.), the higher the threshold value ( seconds) becomes shorter.

For this reason, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, question pattern 1 has 50 questions each with difficulty level "1" and difficulty level "2", making a total of 100 questions. In addition, the threshold value (in seconds) for determining whether a test is "good" or not is set to be the longest, 3.6 seconds, and question pattern 1 is the simplest set of questions. Further, as shown in FIG. 13, even in the same grade or level, the difficulty level is set to increase as the question pattern of 1, 2, 3, etc. increases. For example, question patterns 1 to 4 are all question patterns posed to beginner user P, but question patterns 3 and 4 include questions with difficulty level "4". , the threshold value (in seconds) for determining whether or not it will be judged as "good" is set to 3.2 seconds or 3.0 seconds, and even in the same grade or stage, the question pattern 1, 2, 3, It is preset that the larger the number, the higher the level of difficulty and reaction speed of the problem. In one game, the difficulty level of the 100 questions that are asked is not constant, and questions with a low difficulty level and questions with a high difficulty level are mixed together.

Specifically, details of example questions in the game "Orientation" are as follows.
Example 1: "It will be 8 o'clock three hours from now."
Example 2: "Next Wednesday is the 24th."
In Example 1 above, as to whether or not the time in the sentence is correct, if it is correct, the left button switch 132 is pressed, and if it is incorrect, the right button switch 132 is pressed. Further, in Example 2, as to whether or not the date in the text is correct, if it is correct, the left button switch 132 is pressed, and if it is incorrect, the right button switch 132 is pressed. In the game "Orientation", the difficulty level is set in advance in the following order: hour (time): 1, month: 2, day (date): 3, day of the week: 4, week: 5. There is. Therefore, in the problem of Example 1 above, the difficulty level is "1" because the answer is whether the time (time) is correct or incorrect. In addition, in the problem of Example 2 above, the difficulty level is "3" because the answer is whether the day (date) is correct or incorrect.

Next, evaluation processing in the operation status evaluation device 1 will be described with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4 to 8. User P first pairs the smartphone 30, the communication device 135, and the wireless headphones 40, and establishes a communication connection (step S11). Next, the server computer 51 determines whether the user P who made the communication connection is using the operation status evaluation device 1 for the first time or the last time (step S12). If the server computer 51 determines that the user P used the operation situation evaluation device 1 last time (step S12: Y), the evaluation process by the operation situation evaluation device 1 proceeds to step S13. If the server computer 51 determines that the user P uses the operation situation evaluation device 1 for the first time (step S12: N), the evaluation process by the operation situation evaluation device 1 proceeds to step S14.

Next, in step S13, the server computer 51 sets the rank ranked by the previous use by the user P as the rank for the current use. The evaluation process then proceeds to step S15. Further, in step S14, the server computer 51 sets Beginner as the rank for the current use of the user P. The evaluation process then proceeds to step S15.

Next, in step S15, the server computer 51 determines whether the number of rank determinations for the user P is three or less. If the number of rank determinations for the user P is three or less (step S15: Y), the evaluation process proceeds to step S401 (see FIG. 8). If the number of times the rank has been determined for the user P exceeds three times (step S15: N), the evaluation process proceeds to step S16 (see FIG. 4).

Next, in step S16, the server computer 51 determines whether the challenge flag is set to ON. Here, the state in which the challenge flag is set to ON means that in the game played during aerobic exercise, you can obtain the right to challenge and advance to a grade or tier depending on the results of answering the following 10 questions. It means something. Therefore, the challenge flag is automatically set to ON in the evaluation process. If the server computer 51 determines in step S16 that the challenge flag is set to ON (step S16: Y), the evaluation process proceeds to step S201 (see FIG. 6). If the server computer 51 determines in step S16 that the challenge flag is not set to ON (step S16: N), the evaluation process proceeds to step S101 (see FIG. 5).

Continuing on, if the user P is a beginner, that is, the number of times the user P has played the game is 3 or less, and as a result, the number of times the rank has been determined for the user P is 3 or less. The processing after this will be explained. First, as shown in FIG. 8, in step S401, the server computer 51 determines whether the correct answer rate is 80% or more. If the correct answer rate is 80% or more (step S401: Y), the evaluation process proceeds to step S402. If the correct answer rate is less than 80% (step S401: N), the evaluation process proceeds to step S407.

In step S402, the server computer 51 determines whether the number of rank determinations made for the user P in the past is zero. If it is determined that the number of times the rank has been determined is 0 (step S402: Y), the evaluation process proceeds to step S403, and the server computer 51 performs a process of setting the value of the number of classes to the value of the number plus 5. conduct. The evaluation process then proceeds to step S404, and the server computer 51 adds 1 to the number of times the user P has been judged, and the evaluation process ends.

If it is determined that the number of rank determinations is not 0 (step S402: N), the number of determinations is one of 1 to 3 from step S15 (step S405), and the evaluation process proceeds to step S406. , the server computer 51 performs a process of setting the number of classes to 2 plus the number. The evaluation process then proceeds to step S404, and the server computer 51 adds 1 to the number of times the user P has been judged, and the evaluation process ends.

Further, in step S407, the server computer 51 determines whether the correct answer rate is 70% or more. If the correct answer rate is 70% or more (step S407: Y), the evaluation process proceeds to step S408. If the correct answer rate is less than 70% (step S407: N), the evaluation process proceeds to step S404, and the server computer 51 performs the evaluation process by adding 1 to the number of judgments of the user P. ends.

In step S408, the server computer 51 determines whether or not the number of rank determinations performed for the user P in the past is zero. If it is determined that the number of rank determinations is 0 (step S408: Y), the evaluation process proceeds to step S409, and the server computer 51 performs a process of adding 2 to the number of classes. The evaluation process then proceeds to step S404, and the server computer 51 adds 1 to the number of times the user P has been judged, and the evaluation process ends.

If it is determined that the number of times the rank has been judged is not 0 (step S408: N), the number of judgments is one of 1 to 3 from step S15 (step S410), and the evaluation process proceeds to step S411. , the server computer 51 performs processing to increase the number of classes by 1. The evaluation process then proceeds to step S404, where the server computer 51 adds 1 to the number of times the user P has been judged, and the evaluation process ends.

Next, a description will be given of a process performed when a user P who is not a beginner, that is, a user P who has played the game more than three times, plays the game when the challenge flag is set to ON. First, as shown in FIG. 6, in step S201, the server computer 51 controls the smartphone 30 to display a message for ranking up on the screen of the smartphone 30. Next, in step S202, the server computer 51 inputs to the smartphone 30 a signal indicating that the game has been selected and that the game has been started by the user P, and causes the user P to play the game. The smartphone 30 is controlled. Next, in step S203, the server computer 51 inputs a signal from the smartphone 30 indicating that the game has ended on the smartphone 30. The evaluation process then proceeds to step S301.

Next, in step S301, the server computer 51 determines whether or not the number of "good" scores for the above-mentioned reaction speed is 10 or more and 16 or less, based on the result of playing the game. If the number of "good" is 10 or more and 16 or less (step S301: Y), the evaluation process proceeds to step S302, and the server computer 51 performs a rank increase, and increases the rank of the user P by one. Performs control to set the upper level or level. The evaluation process then ends.

If the number of good results is not 10 or more and 16 or less in step S301 (step S301: N), the evaluation process proceeds to step S303. Next, in step S303, the server computer 51 determines whether or not the correct answer rate is less than 60% based on the result of playing the game. Here, the reason why 60% is set as the threshold is that if the correct answer rate is less than 60%, it is more likely that the person is not able to understand the question rather than not knowing the answer to the question. If the correct answer rate is less than 60% (step S303: Y), the evaluation process proceeds to step S304, where the reading speed of the game for the user P is reduced by 0.1 to become 0.9 times faster. Perform the processing to do. The evaluation process then proceeds to step S305.

Furthermore, if the correct answer rate is 60% or more (step S303: N), the evaluation process proceeds to step S305. Next, in step S305, the server computer 51 determines whether the user P has failed the game two or three times, that is, has not been able to obtain a "good" judgment two or three times. make a judgment. If the test has failed two or three times (step S305: Y), the evaluation process proceeds to step S306, and the server computer 51 adds 0.2 seconds to the threshold for determining "good". Control is performed to set the value as a threshold for making a new determination "good." The evaluation process then proceeds to step S307.

Furthermore, if the test result has not been failed two or three times (step S305: N), the evaluation process proceeds to step S307. Next, in step S307, the server computer 51 determines whether the user P has failed the game 4 to 5 times, that is, has not been able to obtain a "good" judgment 4 to 5 times. make a judgment. If it has failed 4 to 5 times (step S307: Y), the evaluation process proceeds to step S308, and the server computer 51 subtracts 1 from the number of "good" results. Set as the number of new "good" judgments. The evaluation process then proceeds to step S309, and the server computer 51 performs a process to maintain the rank of the user P. The evaluation process then ends. If the user P has not failed the test four or five times (step S307: N), the evaluation process proceeds to step S309, and the server computer 51 performs a process to maintain the rank of the user P. The evaluation process then ends.

Next, a description will be given of a process for playing a game when the challenge flag is not set to ON for a user P who is not a beginner, that is, a user P who has played the game more than three times. First, as shown in FIG. 5, in step S101, the server computer 51 controls the smartphone 30 so that the display for increasing the rank is not displayed on the screen of the smartphone 30. Next, in step S102, the server computer 51 inputs from the smartphone 30 a signal indicating that a game has been selected and has started by the user P on the smartphone 30, and causes the user P to play the game. , controls the smartphone 30. Next, in step S103, the server computer 51 inputs a signal to the smartphone 30 indicating that the 10-question game has ended. The evaluation process then proceeds to step S104.

Next, in step S104, the server computer 51 determines whether or not the correct answer rate is less than 60% based on the result of playing the 10-question game. If the correct answer rate is less than 60% (step S104: Y), the evaluation process proceeds to step S109, where the reading speed of the game for the user P is reduced by 0.1 to become 0.9 times faster. Perform the processing to do. The evaluation process then returns to step S12 (see FIG. 4).

If the correct answer rate is 60% or more (step S104: N), the evaluation process proceeds to step S105. Next, in step S105, the server computer 51 determines whether or not the correct answer rate is 80% or more based on the results of playing the 10-question game. If the correct answer rate is 80% or more (step S105: Y), the evaluation process proceeds to step S106. If the correct answer rate is less than 80% (step S105: N), the evaluation process returns to step S12 (see FIG. 4).

Next, in step S106, the server computer 51 determines that the reaction speed of the user P, which is the time from asking the question to answering the question, is within a predetermined time Determine whether it is less than a second. If the reaction speed is less than the predetermined time of X seconds (step S106: Y), and the time (reaction speed) is the shortest time (maximum speed) in the class (or stage) of the user P. If there is a challenge flag (step S110: Y), the evaluation process proceeds to step S107, and the server computer 51 sets the challenge flag to ON. The evaluation process then proceeds to step S108, where a process is performed in which the reading speed of the game for the user P is increased by 0.1 to 1.1 times the speed. The evaluation process then returns to step S12.

In addition, in step S106, if the predetermined time is less than X seconds (step S106: Y), the time (reaction speed) is the shortest time (the highest speed) (step S110: N), the evaluation process proceeds to step S111, and the server computer 51 performs a process of upgrading the user P's grade (or dan) by one level. The evaluation process then ends.

Further, in step S106, if the predetermined time is X seconds or more (step S106: N), the evaluation process returns to step S12.

According to the operation situation evaluation device 1 according to the present embodiment having the above configuration, the following effects can be obtained.
