> Motion Control System>
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a motion control system 100 according to an embodiment. In this embodiment, while simultaneously providing electrical stimulation to a plurality of users by a plurality of muscle electrical stimulation devices, while moving the body according to an instruction in accordance with a pattern of the electrical stimulation, The premise is the execution of an exercise program that seeks more effective muscle strengthening in a shorter period of time. The motion control system 100 is provided with a fitness clothing 102 on which a plurality of electrical stimulation modules are installed, a motion control device 12, a display control device 104, a mirror display 105, and a posture sensor 107. The mirror display 105 includes a mirror 103 and a display device 106. The motion control device 12, the display control device 104, the mirror display 105, and the posture sensor 107 are set as a set, and a group or a complex array is set in a gym classroom. The user prepares fitness clothes 102 composed of a pair of upper and lower arms and a pair of armbands, and inner wear (not shown) of the upper and lower arms. The electrical stimulation module 10 is mounted on the fitness clothing 102 in a manner capable of applying electrical stimulation to various body parts such as a user's abdominal muscles, lateral abdomen, chest muscles, back muscles, arms, legs, buttocks, and the like. Everywhere. The electrical stimulation module provides electrical stimulation to a user's muscles. The plurality of electrical stimulation modules communicate with the motion control device 12 through short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) to transmit and receive information. An exercise control program that instructs "execute" in communication with the motion control device 12 controls voltage setting and operation in each of the plurality of electrical stimulation modules. The motion control device 12 transmits and receives information between a local area network via a network cable 108 and the display control device 104. The display control device 104 is a computer that displays a moving image on the mirror display 105 in accordance with an instruction of a motion control program executed by the motion control device 12.

The motion control device 12 is an information terminal operated by a gym instructor or a user. The motion control device 12 controls the intensity setting or operation of each user and each electrical stimulation module 10. Since the motion control device 12 has a function as a hub of a plurality of electrical stimulation modules, it is easier to operate the motion control device than an instructor or a user who sets and operates the plurality of electrical stimulation modules individually. 12 The method of controlling multiple electrical stimulation modules together is more efficient.

The motion control device 12 causes an image, which is a template of an exercise plan or an activity, to be synchronized with the control of the plurality of electrical stimulation modules, and displayed on the mirror display 105 via the display control device 104. However, it is also necessary to consider the delay of wireless communication with each electrical stimulation module. Instead of displaying a moving image at a timing that is completely synchronized with the control pulse of the electrical stimulation module, it is delayed by a predetermined time. The timing of the cycle minute causes the image to be displayed. The posture sensor 107 is an infrared sensor and an image sensor that projects infrared light toward a user standing in front of the mirror display 105 and detects the infrared light reflected by the object. A distance image is obtained as the depth of the user of the object. The posture of the user is estimated based on the detection result, and an image of a user's skeletal model or the like based on the estimation result is displayed on the display device 106 of the mirror display 105. The motion control device 12 is provided with an ultrasonic probe 13 having an ultrasonic sensor, and can measure the thickness of fat or muscles of the user's abdomen and the like.

In this way, the motion plan in this embodiment is implemented by the linkage of the following two motion control programs: a motion control program that controls the voltage by the electrical stimulation module 10; and a complex number that is controlled by the motion control device 12 Each electrical stimulation module 10 transmits a control signal such as a start signal, while displaying the synchronized image on a motion control program of the display device 106. In addition, each user executes an exercise program by using the image displayed on the display device 106 as a template to move his body. That is, in this exercise program, muscles are consciously moved in the opposite direction between the electrical stimulation of the muscles, thereby improving exercise efficiency. For example, while performing elbow flexion (involuntary motion) by electrical stimulation, consciously performing a stretching arm force (autonomous motion) can increase such a muscular load.

> Mirror Display>
The mirror display 105 is configured by including a mirror 103 and a display device 106. The mirror 103 is a mirror having the size of a full-length mirror capable of reflecting the entire body image of the user on the front side, and suppressing transmission loss to a low level when infrared rays and radio waves are transmitted from the back side. The display device 106 is a screen slightly smaller than the area of the mirror 103, and can display a large body model equivalent to the entire body of the user, such as a display device having a vertical screen with a size of 70 inches. When the display device 106 is provided on the back side of the mirror 103, the user can visually recognize the image on the screen of the display device 106 that has passed through the mirror 103 from the front side of the mirror 103. The mirror 103 or the display device 106 is provided so that at least the upper end of the screen is positioned above the user's line of sight, for example, it is set so as to be positioned higher than the average user's height. Although a liquid crystal display device is used as the display device 106 in this embodiment, an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display device, a projector, and a general image such as a screen can be used in the modification. Output device.

> Pose Sensors>
The posture sensor 107 includes an infrared projector that projects infrared light, an infrared sensor that detects infrared light that has been reflected on an object, and a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide- A semiconductor (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor, an image sensor, and a directional microphone. The attitude sensor 107 projects the infrared light toward the object, and the infrared sensor detects the reflected infrared light, thereby measuring the distance (depth, depth) of the object, and the image sensor captures the distance from the object. Reflected light, thereby obtaining a distance image. As a modification, a back-illuminated ToF (time of flight) distance image sensor in which the posture sensor 107 and the display control device 104 are integrated may be adopted. The posture sensor 107 is, for example, installed horizontally at a height of about 55 cm from the floor, and detects the user's posture at viewing angles of about 70 degrees in the horizontal direction and about 60 degrees in the vertical direction. The recommended range of the exercise space is drawn on the ground. The recommended range of the exercise space is used to allow the user to accommodate the detectable range of the posture sensor 107. Since the movement space is set as a circular shape with the vicinity of 2.5m from the mirror 103 as the center, and only the users in the movement space are identified, the following processing is performed: the distance range around 2.5m from the mirror 103 Other tests are excluded, and only users around 2.5m are taken as the test object. For example, when the user goes out of the predetermined movement space and approaches the mirror 103, the detection object caused by the posture sensor 107 is detached and the screen is blacked out. On the other hand, even if other people pass by the user ’s back ( Outside the movement space). In addition, in order to prevent false detection, a screen such as a roll screen is installed behind the user, and a mirror is provided in a form facing the side of the wall of the room, thereby setting the positional relationship of the mirrors farthest from each other. . With the above, the detection accuracy of the posture sensor 107 can be maintained high. The example in which the posture sensor 107 is used in the present embodiment has been described. In the modified example, a user may install a mechanical device such as a gyro sensor or a potentiometer instead of the posture sensor 107, or use it for changes in the magnetic field caused by a magnetic sensor. A general detection technique for motion capture.

When not in use, the housing 20 is removed from the base 21 and the surface fasteners 37 of the electrical stimulation module 10 are attached to the corresponding mounting portions (female surface fasteners). In this state, it is possible to wash and prevent damage to the clothing due to the surface fastener. Instead of providing the pairing button 25 with the NFC (Near Field Communication) tag, the electrical stimulation module 10 may be equipped with the NFC reader as a modification. In this case, an NFC reader is used to read the NFC tags installed in the electrical stimulation modules 10 of the fitness clothing 102, so that the electrical stimulation modules 10 can be authenticated and performed separately with the motion control device 12. pair.

(B) of FIG. 2 is a bottom perspective view of the electrical stimulation module 10. A pair of electrode accommodating portions 39a and 39b are provided on the bottom surface side of the abutment 21 formed of a taffeta cloth or the like. The electrode accommodating portion 39 is formed in a bag shape by: a plush fabric such as a sinker pile having a size of about 1/3 of the base 21 is trimmed by the periphery Adhesive tapes 38 a and 38 b such as polyester tape are adhered to the base 21. A bag-shaped space is formed inside the electrode storage portion 39, and the first electrode connection portion 33 and the second electrode connection portion 34 can be inserted from the opening portion 112. Adhesive tapes 38c and 38d such as polyester tape are also attached to the periphery of the base 21 so as to be trimmed. The plush fabric of the electrode storage portion 39 is excellent in water retention and can be immersed in water. When using the electrical stimulation module 10, spray the water on the base 21 and the electrode storage portion 39 to keep the base 21 and the electrode storage 39 water-retaining, and then install the electrical stimulation module 10 on the back of the fitness clothing 102. Side mounting section. At least a part of the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 32 are close to the user's body side through the electrode storage portion 39 and can contact the underwear. The first electrode 31 and the second electrode 32 are in contact with the water-retained electrode housing portion 39, and thus the current-carrying state is easily maintained. A plurality of general electrical stimulation modules 10 are mounted on the fitness clothing 102. The plurality of electrical stimulation modules 10 have individual shapes corresponding to the installation parts of the fitness clothing 102, that is, corresponding to the corresponding body parts. The installation part of the fitness clothing 102 is a plurality of places corresponding to the target body part to which the electrical stimulation should be applied, and is related to, for example, the user's abdominal muscles, lateral abdomen, chest muscles, back muscles, arms, legs, buttocks and other body parts.

Alternatively, the entire flat side of the electrical stimulation module 10 may be provided with a specification covered by a cover as a modification, and the cover is formed of, for example, an elastic body such as silicon. In another modification, the case 20 may be a specification that is not placed on the center of the base 21 but on the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 32. In another modification, the case 20 may be a specification that is not placed on the center of the base 21 but is placed on the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 32 separately. In this case, since the power supply unit, the wireless communication module, and the control circuit are housed in two cases that have been dispersed, each case can be made smaller than the case 20 in this embodiment.

FIG. 3 is a view schematically showing an appearance and a cross section of the vicinity of an electrode of the electrical stimulation module 10 in a modification. (A) in FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the bottom surface side of the electrical stimulation module 10 in a modification. In this modification, the pair of electrode storage portions 39 a and 39 b are formed in a shape having a thickness. A first electrode 31 and a second electrode 32 are housed in the electrode accommodating portions 39a and 39b, and a cushion member made of a resin such as polyethylene is incorporated therein to form a thickness. Polyethylene-based skin has a good feel, low susceptibility to radio wave interference, and low water retention, so there is no need to worry about hydrolysis, and it is suitable as a buffer member. When the electrical stimulation module 10 is used, warm water is poured into the electrode storage portions 39 a and 39 b to retain water in the electrode storage portions 39 a and 39 b, and thereby the current-carrying state can be maintained well. FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view of the electrode accommodating portion 39 of the electrical stimulation module 10 in the modified example.

The power source control unit 50 controls the charging of the power source unit 22, and transmits information indicating the state of charge to the motion control device 12 via the wireless communication unit 58. In order to detect whether power can be applied between the electrodes, the power-on detection unit 52 detects a resistance value between the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 32. The energization detection unit 52 detects that the energization can be performed when the detected resistance value is less than a threshold value, and detects that the energization cannot be performed when the detected resistance value is above the threshold value. When it is detected by the energization detection unit 52 that the energization can be performed, the electrical stimulation control unit 54 applies a predetermined action time (for example, 10 minutes) and a predetermined period (for example, a frequency of 20 Hz) to the first electrodes 31 and A set voltage is applied between the second electrodes 32. That is, the place where the electrical stimulation module 10 has been installed, for example, the user's abdominal muscles, flank, chest, arms, legs, hips, etc. are given electrical stimulation.

The wireless communication unit 58 receives the information of the set voltage from the motion control device 12 via short-range wireless communication and sends it to the setting unit 56. In a case where the wireless communication unit 58 receives information of the set voltage value from the motion control device 12 or receives information from the motion control device 12 indicating an increase or decrease of the set voltage value, the setting unit 56 is based on the received information To increase or decrease the applied set voltage value. Whenever the set voltage value is increased or decreased, the electrical stimulation control unit 54 applies a voltage between the electrodes with the new set voltage value, so that the new set voltage value, that is, the exercise intensity, allows the user to feel and confirm. . The set voltage value can be set to any value, for example, as the intensity at 100 steps. The wireless communication unit 58 increases or decreases the set voltage value when it receives an exercise intensity increase or decrease instruction from the motion control device 12 during exercise, that is, during voltage application. However, even if an increase / decrease instruction of exercise intensity is received from the connected motion control device 12, it will be ignored and it will not follow the increase / decrease instruction of exercise intensity from other devices. It is possible to prevent the voltage value from being increased or decreased by anyone other than the user. The wireless communication unit 58 can transmit the voltage application state caused by the electrical stimulation control unit 54, that is, the wireless communication unit 58 can transmit information indicating the exercise execution state to the motion control device 12.

> Motion Control Device>
FIG. 7 is a functional block diagram showing a functional configuration of the motion control device 12. The motion control device 12 includes a control section 70, a wireless communication section 71, a wired communication section 72, and a display section 74. The control section 70 includes a display control section 61, a setting processing section 63, an information management section 65, and an ultrasonic measurement section 66.

The wireless communication unit 71 transmits and receives information to and from the electrical stimulation module 10 through short-range wireless communication. The wireless communication unit 71 transmits and receives information to and from the plurality of electrical stimulation modules 10. Broadcast communication in one direction is mainly used, and two-way communication through pairing is used as necessary. In the case of two-way communication, the information obtained from the electrical stimulation module 10 may include individual identification information for user registration or individual management or a unique network address (MAC address (medium access control address) ; Media Access Control Address)). The display section 74 is a touch panel display device such as a liquid crystal display panel or an organic EL panel, and displays information on a screen and accepts an operation input from a user or an instructor.

The setting processing unit 63 sets operation contents of the plurality of electrical stimulation modules 10 for each user based on an operation input to the display unit 74 by a user or an instructor. The setting processing unit 63 is capable of setting different operation contents to each of a plurality of body parts. The setting processing unit 63 sets the intensity of the electrical stimulation caused by the muscle electrical stimulation device as the operation content, that is, sets a voltage value of any level in 100 stages as the operation content. The setting processing unit 63 transmits information indicating the content of the action to all the electrical stimulation modules 10 through the wireless communication unit 71 through broadcast communication, thereby controlling the movement of the electrical stimulation module 10. For example, the setting processing unit 63 transmits a motion start signal, a temporary stop signal, an end signal, a voltage value signal, and the like to the electrical stimulation module 10 to control the electrical stimulation module 10. On the other hand, in order to suppress the battery consumption caused by the communication in the electrical stimulation module 10, the design is preferably to minimize the communication. For example, the voltage value set for the electrical stimulation module 10 or the data of the motion control program is stored in the information management unit 65, and the voltage value information is not obtained from the electrical stimulation module 10. In addition, instead of transmitting and receiving the end signal of the exercise, it may be determined that the exercise program has ended after a predetermined time has elapsed.

The display control unit 61 displays content related to the execution status of the exercise program, the setting status and the operation status of the electrical stimulation module 10, and the like on the display portion 74. The display control unit 61 transmits data related to the execution status of the exercise plan to the display control device 104 via the wired communication unit 72 in order to cause the display device 106 to display a template image or the like based on the exercise plan. The display control unit 61 displays an image of a human body model, and in accordance with the control state of the electrical stimulation module 10, displays the image of the rhythm of the voltage pulse (rhythm) or the movement of muscles in motion through the display control device 104.于 设计 装置 106。 On the display device 106.

The ultrasonic measurement unit 66 generates a layer of subcutaneous fat and muscles in a user's body part based on a detection value detected by an ultrasonic probe 13 (an ultrasonic sensor) connected to the electrical stimulation module 10. A tomogram image is analyzed and displayed on the display section 74. For example, a fixed time is measured before an exercise program is started, and an image is displayed on the display section 74. Since the display control unit 61 only displays the tomographic images of the subcutaneous fat and muscles to the user himself, it is not displayed on the display device 106 that can be viewed by a plurality of users, but only on the display unit 74. The display control unit 61 may display the motion of the cross-section of the muscle in real-time as a modified example during execution of the exercise program.

FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram showing the functional configuration of the display control device 104. The display control device 104 includes a control unit 260 and a communication unit 256. The communication unit 256 is connected to the motion control device 12 via a wired network or the like to transmit and receive information. The control unit 260 includes a display control unit 250, a posture estimation unit 252, and a setting processing unit 254. The control unit 260 is also connected to the posture sensor 107 and receives a detection result from the posture sensor 107. The posture estimation unit 252 estimates the posture of the user based on the detection results received from the posture sensor 107. The setting processing unit 254 executes an exercise plan based on an instruction received from the exercise control device 12, and displays the content on the display device 106 under the control performed by the display control portion 250.

The display control unit 250 uses an image of an action model with a human body shape as a template for an action in a motion plan, and displays it on a corner of the screen of the display device 106 in a small manner, so that the user can easily understand the action with high training efficiency . In addition, the display control unit 250 displays a state object at the center of the screen of the display device 106, and the state object is used to indicate the movement range of each body part or each movement of the user in each action in the exercise program. The actual state of movement of each body part. The posture estimation unit 252 determines the movement range of the body part based on the angle, movement angle, distance, etc. of each body part such as the limbs. When the determined angle or distance satisfies a predetermined value, it outputs a predetermined sound to notify the use. The person has completed the action once. The posture estimation unit 252 calculates points based on whether or not an operation that satisfies a predetermined value has been completed within a predetermined time. The display control unit 250 displays the performance of the stimulus on a muscle part on the action model corresponding to the body part to which the electrical stimulus is applied, thereby making it easier for the user to consciously know which part is being exercised, which can improve training effectiveness. In particular, when an electric stimulus is simultaneously applied to a plurality of parts to cause involuntary movement, and an autonomous movement is further performed, it is difficult for a user to consciously apply electric stimulation to which part, so such an explicit display It is effective. Here, in the case where speakers are provided in a plurality of exercise rooms 202 adjacent to each other, it is difficult to estimate the timing of exercise in accordance with the sound if the adjacent exercise rooms are mixed with each other. Therefore, the display control device 104 may include a directional speaker as a speaker. Alternatively, the speaker may be provided in such a manner as to output sound from a position directly above or directly below the exercise space 204 toward the user. The horn in this case may be a directional horn. Alternatively, a portable speaker may be mounted on the fitness clothing 102 or the neck of the user. In this case, a accommodating part or a mounting part of the speaker may be provided, so that the part around the neck such as the neck or the shoulder in the fitness clothing 102, that is, the user's ear or the part near the head can be installed or fixed in a small size horn. For example, snap fasteners, hooks, face fasteners, and the like can be used as a mechanism for fixing the horn to be removed around the neck of the fitness clothing 102, thereby preventing the position of the horn from being shifted or dropped. As such, by using a directional speaker or by placing the speaker in a place where it is easy to hear sound, even in an environment such as a gym where multiple users are exercising at the same time, each user will not be moved by the next door. The sound in the chamber 202 is obstructed and it is easy to hear the sound in the exercise room 202 itself. Moreover, not only the user, but also the directivity speaker can make the sound easily transmitted to the instructor nearby. Further, the direction of the directional speaker may be changed in accordance with the standing position of the user. In this case, the standing position of the user may also be detected by the posture sensor 107 or another dedicated sensor. Thereby, it is possible to prevent a situation where it is difficult to hear sound due to the directional speaker not facing the user. In addition, other methods are used to prevent sound or absorb sound between the sports rooms, thereby preventing the adjacent sports rooms from being mixed with each other. For example, it is conceivable to provide a removable partition (for example, a mesh-like partition suspended from a ceiling) or an air curtain between the sports room 202 and the sports room 202, This prevents sound insulation or sound absorption between the rooms. In the case of a partition or an air curtain, it also has the effect of preventing the diffusion of flavors such as sweat of the user. For another example, it is also possible to consider providing a muffler speaker between the exercise room 202 and the exercise room 202 or around the exercise space 204 to output a sound (cancelling sound) having a phase opposite to that of the sound from the adjacent exercise room 202 ), Thereby canceling the sound between the rooms or inside and outside the motion space 204.

FIG. 9 schematically shows the arrangement of the mirror display, the posture sensor, the display control device 104, and the user. The posture sensor 107 is horizontally disposed below the display device 106 in the back side of the mirror 103, and the height of the posture sensor 107 is about 55 cm from the ground. The posture detection range 206 of the posture sensor 107 is configured in such a manner that it has an angle of view of 70 degrees in the horizontal direction and 60 degrees in the vertical direction, and can detect a user 207 standing at a distance of about 2.5 m from the posture sensor 107. The whole body. Here, in a case where the posture sensor 107 is provided on the display device 106, detection is performed at an angle capable of overlooking the user 207 from above. In this case, the incident angle toward the mirror 103 becomes larger Therefore, there is a concern that the posture detection of the glass passing through the mirror 103 may be affected by the refraction of the glass. On the other hand, when the posture sensor 107 is provided below the display device 106, since it can be installed horizontally, it can be installed so as not to be easily affected by the refraction caused by the glass of the mirror 103. Moreover, by arranging the posture sensor 107 on the back side of the mirror 103 and below the display device 106, not only the posture sensor 107 can be made inconspicuous, but also dust can be prevented from being easily accumulated. In addition, even when a person other than the user, for example, an instructor who recommends actions to the user penetrates the detection range, the posture estimation unit 252 restricts the detection target to only the user, and performs a process of excluding the instructor from the detection target. In addition, a mark restricting the standing position of the instructor to a predetermined area may be traced on the ground. As a modification, a configuration in which the position of the floor can be adjusted vertically can be adopted. The floor moved by the user is composed of a cushioning member having no elasticity or even a cushioning body, so that the vibration is not easily transmitted to the user in the adjacent room. Conversely, the floor on which the mirror 103 is provided is made of a harder material than the floor moved by the user, whereby the vibration caused by the user's movement is not easily transmitted to the mirror 103, and the influence on the measurement of the sensor is suppressed.

FIG. 10 shows the appearance of the motion control device 12. (A) in this figure is the external appearance on the front side, and (b) in the figure is the external appearance on the back side. As in (a) of this figure, a touch panel display portion 74 is provided on the upper portion of the front side, and a dial 272 made of a rotary encoder is provided below the display portion 74. . Whenever the user operates the dial 272 to raise the level of electrical stimulation, a function sound is issued. A muscle model showing the shape of a human body is displayed on the display section 74. The user clicks on any of the muscle parts shown in the muscle model and operates the dial 272 to intuitively adjust the electrical stimulation level of the muscle. It is displayed separately to the instructor who is the operator and the user who is the subject, thereby making it an easy-to-operate environment. The same image is displayed on the mirror display 105, but the side of the mirror display 105 is covered with the user's image reflected by the mirror 103 to be displayed three-dimensionally, and displayed in a manner to follow even if the user moves his body. The trainee can intuitively and easily recognize where he is exercising his body. Moreover, during training by electrical stimulation, it is difficult to visually grasp which part is energized or exercised. Therefore, it is possible to exercise more consciously by displaying on the mirror display 105. The forced stop button 273 is the following emergency button: the user or the instructor presses it in some emergency, thereby being able to forcibly end the electrical stimulation, that is, immediately after the voltage is applied.

As in (b) of this figure, an air inlet 270 is provided at the lower end of the back side of the motion control device 12, and an air outlet 271 is provided at the upper portion of the back side of the motion control device 12. With the chimney effect of the air sucked in from the suction port 270 at the lower end passing through the inside of the motion control device 12 and exhausted from the upper exhaust port 271, the heat inside the motion control device 12 is naturally and efficiently discharged without A larger fan for heat removal is required. Since LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are illuminated inside the plurality of holes constituting the exhaust port 271, the design of the rear side of the motion control device 12 is not only improved when it is reflected in the mirror 103. It is also possible to visually recognize whether the motion control device 12 is in operation by the LED lighting state of the exhaust port 271.

In order to prevent liquid intrusion when touching the panel, etc., a drainage channel is provided on the liquid intrusion path. There is no need to perform more than necessary waterproofing, it is easy to make, and it also contributes to reducing the original price. In order to prevent the height and thinness of the casing from falling, the motion control device 12 forms a base with a large iron plate one turn larger than the bottom surface of the body, thereby preventing the falling.

FIG. 11 is a plan view showing a layout configuration of a gym. In the example shown in the figure, the gym 200 includes six exercise rooms 202. A mirror display 105, a motion control device 12 and a motion space 204 are arranged in each of the six exercise rooms 202. The exercise room 202 is formed by dividing a user's area into one area and dividing the predetermined space of the gym 200 into six equal portions. The lateral boundaries of the first exercise room 202a, the second exercise room 202b, and the third exercise room 202c arranged in a row on the upper side of the figure are not separated by a wall or the like. The fourth exercise room 202d, the fifth exercise room 202e, and the sixth exercise room 202f, which are arranged in a row in a row on the lower side of the figure, are also separated from each other by a boundary in the lateral direction without being separated by a wall or the like. On the other hand, the boundaries between the upper first sports room 202a, the second sports room 202b, the third sports room 202c, and the lower fourth sports room 202d, fifth sports room 202e, and sixth sports room 202f are bounded by The way in which the fields of view are blocked from each other is separated by a white scroll screen 209 arranged in the center horizontal direction.

A mirror display 105 is arranged in each exercise room 202 along the upper and lower sides of the gym 200 in the figure. Each of the mirror displays 105 is arranged so as to face the center scroll screen 209 and face each other with the scroll screen 209 interposed therebetween, and has a positional relationship in which the distances from each other can be the furthest. A circular movement space 204 is arranged so as to be centered at a position of, for example, about 2.5 m from the mirror display 105. The movement space 204 is, for example, a circle with a diameter of 1.8 m. As long as the user moves in the movement space 204, the movement space 204 is constantly accommodated in the detectable range of the posture sensor 107, and the detection of the posture of the user is ensured. Motion control devices 12 are respectively provided in the lateral vicinity of the mirror display 105. The motion control device 12 is mainly operated by the instructor 208 and can also be operated by the user.

When a person other than the user is detected by the posture sensor 107, it will hinder the user's posture detection and image processing control, so the instructor 208, the motion control device 12, and the adjacent motion space 204 will be blocked. The setting position is set outside the posture detection range 206 of the posture sensor 107. First, the plurality of exercise rooms 202 may be arranged at intervals where the overlap of the detection angles of the posture sensors 107 included in each of the plurality of adjacent exercise rooms 202 can be suppressed. The setting position of the exercise space 204 for the user is clearly indicated to the user by drawing a circle on the floor. You can also trace the instructor's movable range on the floor. Thereby, the detection accuracy of the posture sensor 107 is maintained high, and erroneous operation is prevented. In addition to drawing a circle on the floor, the motion space 204 may also be a projection of the light onto the ground, or a mat or a cone for indicating the area of the motion space 204, or the motion space may be used only The area of 204 is recessed and the step is set. The posture sensor 107 may be a size provided in the exercise space 204.

The floor is formed of a soft member, so that the vibration is not easily transmitted to the mirror display 105 or the posture sensor 107 and the motion control device 12 and prevents the user from being injured when he falls. The fact that vibration is not easily transmitted to the posture sensor 107 is also related to stable and highly accurate posture detection. Moreover, even if the mirror display 105 falls down due to an unpredictable state, the glass of the mirror 103 is prevented from being broken. However, in a case where the mirror 103 is fixed to the floor with an anchor, the floor plate must have rigidity to the extent that it can be nailed into the anchor.

In order to perform maintenance of the mirror display 105, the posture sensor 107, the display control device 104, and the like, a path 210 is provided behind the mirror display 105 as a maintenance space that can be entered by an operator responsible for maintenance and the like. This can improve the maintainability of the mirror display 105, the display control device 104, and the posture sensor 107.

As a modification example of the arrangement of the sports room 202, it is possible to provide a plurality of sports rooms around an island-type space, or to separate one sports room 202 into a single person by partitioning. Room type.

> Training Principles>
1. Purpose Although the effects of electrical stimulation on muscle fatigue and metabolic responses have been reported in many studies, the differences in metabolic dynamics, or age or body composition when used in combination with voluntary exercise, are for individual differences. There are many unknown points about its efficacy. Therefore, the efficacy of combining electrical stimulation with voluntary exercise was verified for subjects of various ages and body compositions.
2. Methods The subjects were 13 males aged 24 to 60 years. As the electrical stimulation application method, quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, rectus abdominis, obliques, pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, upper biceps, upper three A clothing-type skeletal muscle electrical stimulation device in which electrodes are arranged at the proximal end of the head muscles. The basic stimulation frequency was 20 Hz, and electrical stimulation was performed for 15 minutes. The intensity of the electrical stimulus is set to a value that is as high as possible within a range where the subject can perform autonomous exercise. Experiments were performed in two cases: a case of receiving only electrical stimulation and a case of performing voluntary exercise while receiving electrical stimulation. The two trials were performed randomly on different days. The maximal muscle contraction (MVC) and blood lactic acid value during equidistant knee extension were measured before and after the test.
3. Results Table 1 is a table showing the test results for 13 subjects. For example, the maximum muscle strength of the thigh quadriceps was 85.8% (a 14.2% reduction) on average in the case of electrical stimulation (EMS; Electric Muscle Stimulation) before the test. In the case of autonomous exercise (EMS plus training), compared with the pre-test average of 82.9% (a reduction of 17.1%), etc., in either case, a meaningful reduction was seen (significant accuracy p value> 0.05). Regarding the lactic acid value in the blood, it changed from 1.4 ± 0.4 before the test to 3.2 ± 1.2mmol / L after the test in the case of electrical stimulation only, and from the value before the test in the case of electrical stimulation plus voluntary exercise. 1.3 ± 0.4 changed to 4.8 ± 2.6mmol / L after the test, etc., and a significant increase was seen (the blood lactic acid value after the test of electrical stimulation plus voluntary exercise was more than the blood lactic acid after the test of electrical stimulation only The value is meaningfully high. Significant accuracy p-value> 0.05). Furthermore, significant negative correlations were observed between the electrical stimulus plus voluntary exercise blood lactate value and body fat percentage and subcutaneous fat thickness (abdomen). In addition, there was a tendency that a negative correlation was observed between the lactic acid value in the blood after the electrical stimulation and the body fat percentage and the thickness of the subcutaneous fat (abdomen).


[Table 1]

4. Conclusion With this experiment, it has been confirmed that the electrical stimulation of the whole body and the training system using autonomous exercise can induce a more significant metabolic response. It is speculated that this effect may be affected by individual differences such as body composition.

FIG. 12 schematically illustrates a posture determination screen. The display control device 104 displays the character string of "X pose (POSE)" on the upper part of the screen of the display device 106, and displays a motion model 212 with a human body shape as a model of the pose in the lower right corner to remind the user Posture for posture determination. In contrast, when the user holds both hands open and still, the posture estimation unit 252 estimates the position of the user's bones and joints based on the posture detection result of the posture sensor 107. The display control device 104 displays the user's skeletal model 214 on the screen of the display device 106 as shown in the figure based on the estimated skeletal information, and deforms the skeletal model 214 so as to follow the movement of the detected posture of the user. When the estimation of the positions of the bones and joints by the posture estimation unit 252 is completed, the text "COMPLETE!" Is displayed and the posture determination is also ended.

> Level adjustment>
FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for adjusting the electrical stimulation level to each body part. The screen of this figure is displayed on both the display device 106 of the mirror display 105 and the display portion 74 of the motion control device 12. As shown, the display control device 104 displays the muscle model 216 so as to overlap the image of the user reflected on the mirror 103. The muscle model 216 presents the shape of the muscles of each body part as an object to which the electrical stimulation is applied, and digitally displays the electrical stimulation level (voltage level) of each body part detected by the motion control device 12. The user can click on any muscle part or digital part on the screen of the display section 74 and increase or decrease the electrical stimulation level of each muscle by turning the dial 272. In addition, in order to confirm the electrical stimulation level by the user's own body, while applying electrical stimulation to a predetermined body part in a predetermined short time, the muscle model 216 is illuminated to display a place corresponding to the body part. Thereby, the user can adjust the electrical stimulation level of each body part with the sense of sight and body. In addition, as a modified example, an image of a muscle model similar to the one shown in this figure may be displayed during training, and it may be displayed whether an electrical stimulation is being applied to which body part. In this case, it is more aware that training of the exercise site is feasible. Further, it may be displayed by adding light and shade to the lighting display of the muscle model according to the level of the electrical stimulation. In this case, the user can intuitively grasp the level of the electrical stimulation.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a screen in which an operation state is displayed by an object. On the screen of the display device 106, the action model 212 is displayed in the lower right corner, and the action to be performed by the user is displayed by the action of the action model 212. This picture is called "chest enlargement", and it is an example of the screen corresponding to the action of expanding and contracting both arms. The first position status image 220a and the second position status image 220b are displayed in yellow, and the first position status image 220a and the second position status image 220b are used to indicate the duality of the position corresponding to the two hands of the user For a circular object, when the user spreads both arms, the first position state image 220a and the second position state image 220b move in a manner of expanding in the lateral direction following the two hands of the user and change to orange. At this time, the action state image 222, which is a double diamond-shaped object indicating the action state, is also deformed so as to extend in the horizontal direction following the action of the arms of the user. When the two arms reach the maximum position, the first position state image 220a and the second position state image 220b return to yellow, and before the next action, only the frame-shaped diamond object is separated from the action state image 222. Instead, it deforms in a contraction in the lateral direction, thereby guiding the situation that is followed by a contraction action.

When the user contracts both arms, the first position state image 220a and the second position state image 220b move toward the center in a manner of contracting in the form of following both hands of the user and change to orange. At this time, the motion state image 222 indicating the motion state is also deformed so as to follow the motion contraction of both arms of the user. When the two arms reach the contracted position, the first position status image 220a and the second position status image 220b return to yellow, and before the next action, the first position status image 220a and the second position status image 220b moves to the moving target position of both hands, thereby guiding the next motion, and the motion state image 222 also follows the first position state image 220a and the second position state image 220b and moves. In addition, only the diamond-shaped object in the shape of a frame is separated from the motion state image 222 and deformed so as to stretch in the horizontal direction, thereby guiding the case where the next motion is a motion of stretching both arms.

In this way, before the timing when the user should open both arms is tied to the user's motion, the action that the frame shape is separated from the motion state image 222 and expanded in the horizontal direction is shown, and when the user should shrink both arms, the timing is tied to the user Before the action, the action showing the shape of the frame separated from the action state image 222 and contracted in the horizontal direction is shown. The first position state image 220a and the second position state image 220b also move to the target position before the user's action. In this way, the user is guided in such a way that the user can grasp the next direction with visual intuition, and also follows the actual user's movement to visualize the movement state, thereby enabling the user to easily grasp his own visual sense. action. In other actions, the user's action target and action state are also displayed on the same screen, the action model 212, the position state image 220, the action state image 222, and the like.

On the upper right of the screen, the remaining number of times up to a predetermined number of predetermined actions is displayed by a circular gauge, and the remaining number of times is also represented by a number displayed on the circular gauge. With the display using objects like this picture, each training item and each menu such as warm-up, adjustment, and relaxation exercises are displayed. Initially, a warm-up screen (not shown) is displayed, and a user performs a preparatory exercise in the form of a walking action under the condition that an electrical stimulation at a frequency of 2 Hz is applied for 60 seconds. After that, each training of the following example screen is executed in the order of the above plan.

As described above, the number, time, position, distance, angle, range, etc. of the state object 218 such as the position state image 220 or the motion state image 222 can be changed by the shape, color, and arrangement of the state object 218. The ground indicates the movement status and whether the movement is appropriate. By visually recognizing the change of the figure, the user can intuitively grasp the load of the movement not only from the body but also visually. In this embodiment, an example in which the state object 218 or the muscle model 216 is displayed on the display device 106 of the mirror display 105 has been described. In the modification, the state object 218 or the muscle model 216 may be displayed to the user by a retina projection device, a head-mounted display, or the like. In this case, the same training is possible even in front of a mirror without an image output function.

> Meditation Room>
FIG. 18 schematically shows the structure of the meditation room as viewed from the front side of the user. FIG. 19 schematically shows the structure of the meditation room as viewed from the left side of the user. In personal training, it is conceivable that just repeating the same motion or stretching and the like may cause tiredness and concentration to become unsustainable. Therefore, a meditation room 300 is provided around the exercise room 202 in the gym 200, and the meditation room 300 is used to implement a meditation plan based on Zen thought. The meditation room 300 is a space surrounded by at least four sides, and is a space for meditation for the user 207 to meditate inside. A sitting space 301 of a user 207 is provided at a substantially center of the meditation room 300, and a posture sensor 302, a breathing sensor 304, and five projectors 306 are provided on the head of the user. The posture sensor 302 is an infrared sensor that detects the posture of the user 207. The respiration sensor 304 is a millimeter wave Doppler sensor for detecting the breathing timing of the user 207 by detecting minute movements of the user 207 or heartbeat (chest expansion and contraction). The posture sensor 302 and the breathing sensor 304 are used to estimate the posture and breathing of the meditating and meditating user 207.

The four sides surrounding the user 207 in the meditation room 300, such as the floor surface 310, the front surface 312, the right side 314, and the left side 316, are connected to each other with a curved shape to form a curved surface. Via this curved surface, at least these four surfaces are The form of the horns is continuous. Thereby, at least three sides of the meditation room 300 are continuous with the floor surface, and form a rounded cube-like space. The floor surface 310, the front surface 312, the right side 314, and the left side 316 are all white, and have the function of the following screens: a screen that projects an image by projection mapping using a plurality of projectors 306. The plurality of projectors 306 are, for example, a first projector 306a, a second projector 306b, a third projector 306c, a fourth projector 306d, and a fifth projector 306e. The first projector 306a projects an image on a floor surface 310 located in front of the user 207 and the seating space 301. The second projector 306b projects an image on the left side 316, and the third projector 306c projects the image on the right side 314. The fourth projector 306d projects an image below the front surface 312, and the fifth projector 306e projects an image above the front surface 312.

Images are projected on the entire wall surrounding the meditation room 300, and performances are performed in the entire space in interaction with the performance sound from the speakers. Since the connecting portions of the floor surface 310, the front surface 312, the right surface 314, and the left surface 316 are all continuous with curved surfaces without corners, it can give a realistic image of the landscape being projected, or if the image of the sky, water, or universe is projected, then Can make the image look infinitely wide. This makes it possible to improve the user's sense of immersion and increase the concentration. In addition, by alleviating the tension of the user 207, it is possible to further improve the effect caused by the exercise program using the electric muscle stimulation device, and to suppress the situation of being tired of the exercise program. By making the wall surface of the meditation room 300 a soundproof structure or a sound-absorbing structure, it can not only block the sound from the outside of the meditation room 300, improve the sense of immersion in the space, but the sound output to the meditation room 300 is also difficult to leak To the outside, the influence on the outside can be suppressed.

In order to indicate the result of the meditation to the user in points, the breathing and posture of the user 207 detected in the meditation room 300 are numerically scored. The scoring procedure is explained below.

(1) Respiration detection Use a breathing sensor 304 (such as a millimeter wave Doppler sensor) to estimate the breathing timing and breathing interval of the user 207, and use these values to count points. For example, the breathing sensor 304 monitors the body of the user 207 from the head of the user 207 located in the meditation room 300, and detects the movement amount of the user 207 in the front direction as the "movement amount" and "moving direction". . More specifically, the detection values of the Doppler sensor are combined, the amplitude and frequency of the reflected wave are calculated backward, the modulation is separated, the moving direction is calculated, and the moving intensity (moving amount) is calculated from the amplitude.
(2) Points of breathing (scoring)
The average number of breaths and standard deviation of a user who maintains the standard in advance, filters the detection value of the respiratory sensor 304 based on these values to calculate an appropriate value, and calculates a new average and standard deviation based on the calculated value, and uses this In rating. The so-called average value here refers to the number of breaths and respiratory interval (milliseconds) in one minute, and the standard deviation refers to the variation value (milliseconds) of the respiratory interval. Regard breathing with a small number of breaths per minute and stable intervals, that is, a state where the standard deviation approaches zero as an ideal state (100 points out of 100). When the scoring criterion is relaxed, adjustment can be made by changing the ideal number of breaths per minute.
(3) Posture detection The posture sensor 302 is used to obtain the center position of the neck and waist of the user 207 in three-dimensional coordinates, and the line connecting these two points is assumed to be the central axis of the body. Tilt (pitch, yaw, roll).
(4) Point conversion (scoring) of posture
The ratio of the inclination of the straight line in the three-dimensional position within a predetermined threshold value between the scoring times is scored. The straight line in the three-dimensional line is assumed to be the central axis of the body obtained from the posture sensor 302 .
(5) Detection of concentration The breathing sensor 304 is used to detect the movement amount and movement direction of the user 207. That is, the detection values of the respiratory sensor 304 are combined, the amplitude and frequency of the reflected wave are calculated backward, and the modulation is separated to calculate the moving direction, and the moving intensity (moving amount) is calculated from the amplitude. At this time, since the amplitude and the movement intensity also correspond to the body movement itself, this is used as the body movement data.
(6) Concentration points (scoring)
Under the criterion of "the body of the user 207 is as immobile as possible", the "body movement above breathing" is set as a fixed threshold value, and the time within which the threshold value converges within the scoring time is measured, and This ratio is used as the score.

Based on the scores scored as a result of meditation in the meditation room 300, or based on the scores scored as a result of exercise programs using the electromuscular stimulation device in the exercise room 202, the meditation room 300 is used. Space performance changes. For example, when the target level is achieved in the exercise plan, an image of the landscape corresponding to the target level may be projected on the wall surface and floor surface of the meditation room 300 as a performance. For another example, a landscape image corresponding to the amount of body movement or heartbeat of the user 207 during meditation may be projected on the wall surface and floor surface of the meditation room 300 as a performance. The landscape in this case is based on the way the water surface sways in the image of the water surface, the speed of the light flowing in the image moving at the speed of light in space, the amount of leaves falling in the image of falling leaves, etc. The image of 207's movements or heartbeats varies.

The mist-like liquid may be sprayed on the space in the meditation room 300 during the execution of the meditation plan in the meditation room 300 or at the end, or it may be sprayed with the image of rain or fog. The misted liquid may be real water or a liquid mixed with essential oils or aroma oils. In the case of blending essential oils or aromatic oils, the effect of relieving the user's tension can also be enhanced by the sense of smell.

In the same space as the meditation room 300, not only Zen-based meditation, but also a configuration in which exercise programs such as Yoga or Pilates can be implemented as a modification. Moreover, in another modification, a user may install a VR (virtual reality) device such as a head-mounted display to output a performance to the display, thereby performing execution and projection on the wall surface of the meditation room 300. Instead of performing the entire performance in the meditation room 300, the performance of the same video and audio content will be performed. Furthermore, in another modification, the user can also install a vital sensor (such as a muscle sensor, or a pulse oximeter for measuring oxygen saturation or pulse number in blood). As the breath sensor 304 instead of the millimeter wave Doppler sensor, a specification for detecting the movement of the user is made. In this case, it is possible to detect a user's motion with higher accuracy than using a Doppler sensor.

> Sprinkler table>
Figure 23 is a front view of the sprinkler platform. In order to improve the power-on efficiency of the electrodes of the electrical stimulation module 10 installed in the fitness clothing 102, it is necessary to make the base 21 and the electrode storage portion 39 of the electrical stimulation module 10 absorb water just before use. Therefore, when spraying water on the electrical stimulation module 10, a watering table 400 for placing the fitness clothing 102 or the electrical stimulation module 10 is set around the exercise room 202.

The instructor or the user mounts the fitness clothing 102 or the electrical stimulation module 10 on the placement table 402 of the sprinkler 400 and sprays water on the electrical stimulation module 10. The placing table 402 is a plate-shaped member made of transparent acrylic resin or the like, and is installed in such a manner as to be inclined downward from the deep to the front. Therefore, the water droplets scattered around the system flow to the vicinity of the placing table 402. Front side. A sink is formed below the placing table 402, and excess water is collected from the drain of the tank to a tank under the tank. In order to prevent water droplets scattered around from spreading to the outside of the sprinkler table 400, a water splash prevention plate 404 is provided so as to surround the three sides around the placing table 402.

Figure 21 is a right side view of the sprinkler platform. The upper side surface 412 which occupies a little less than half of the side surfaces of the sprinkler 400 and the lower side surface 414 which occupies approximately half of the same side surface are formed of transparent acrylic resin or the like, respectively. Because the left side view of the sprinkler is symmetrical to the right side view, it is omitted. Figure 22 is a reference right side view of the sprinkler platform. A groove 406 is provided below the placing table 402 and inclines downward from the depth to the front as in the placing table 402. A drain port is provided at the lowermost portion of the tank 406, and a hose 410 for allowing excess water to flow from the drain port to the water tank 408 is connected to the drain port and the water tank 408.

Fig. 23 is a rear view of the sprinkler platform. The back surface of the sprinkler 400 is exposed inside, and the back side of the tank 406, the water tank 408, and the hose 410 can be visually recognized. Figure 24 is a top view of a sprinkler platform. The placement table 402 of the sprinkler 400 is provided with cutout portions in the upper and lower portions in a plan view, and water droplets easily flow into the groove 406. Since the bottom view of the sprinkler cannot be visually recognized during normal use, it is omitted.

In the case where a plurality of users are trained simultaneously in a group, the fitness clothing 102 of each user simultaneously performs wireless communication, so it is necessary to stabilize the communication status. Therefore, a group training mode may be set, and the communication timing between the exercise control device 12 and the electrical stimulation module 10 may be changed to a group training. For example, when seven users are training at the same time, data is transmitted from the motion control device 12 to the electrical stimulation module 10 at 20 millisecond intervals during a communication time of 900 milliseconds. The output time can be appropriately changed according to the communication conditions. A larger mirror display can be used as the mirror display 105, so that users who can display the scores of multiple users or can reflect the scores of multiple people in the exercise evaluation of each user in the group training. In this case, the content displayed on the display device 106 may be the same as that used by one person. In addition, in order to identify each user and perform user-specific exercise evaluation, a sensor that recognizes an individual using face authentication technology or an IC tag (electronic tag) may be provided. Thereby, the training of each individual can be correctly identified, displayed, and recorded. On the display device 106, only the progress status of the training and the exercise evaluation may be displayed. In this case, the display order may be in the order of high to low of the exercise evaluation. Thereby, the motivation of the user's training can be improved. When the posture sensor 107 is not used, a compact posture sensor may be provided in the fitness clothing 102. In this case, even if a sensor for identifying an individual is not provided separately, the individual can be identified, and a correct exercise condition can be recorded. A speaker may be provided in the fitness clothing 102. Thereby, each user can grasp the content of his training or the rhythm of the movement and whether the movement is correct or not without being confused with the movements of other users.

> Preparation of exercise plan>
The preparation to install the plurality of electrical stimulation modules 10 in the fitness clothing 102 requires a certain amount of time and effort. That is, the following steps: (1) installation of the plurality of electrical stimulation modules 10 to the fitness clothing 102, (2) login to the motion control device 12, and (3) communication of the plurality of electrical stimulation modules 10 Examination and muscle detection, (4) level examination of electrical stimulation. Here, in a modified example, in order to simplify the operation steps, the workload on login and receiver settings can also be reduced. For example, when the user has reached the gym 200, the receiving device of the motion control device 12 is automatically given account information of the user. During the period when the user performs the equipment, the instructor performs the initial setting of the motion control device 12 and installs the electrical stimulation module 10 on the fitness clothing 102 so that only the user can wear it. The level setting of the electrical stimulation module 10 is prompted to automatically inherit the setting values from the previous exercise program implementation. Thereby, not only the operation steps of the instructor can be reduced, but also the waiting time of the user who has installed the fitness clothing 102 can be reduced, thereby suppressing the evaporation of the water immersed in the electrical stimulation module 10 and the user's temperature reduce.

> Fee payment system>
The user needs to log in to the motion control device 12 with his or her own account when executing the exercise program. Not only information for user authentication or information about past training is stored in a server, but also necessary information for payment of fees is also stored in the server. When logging into the motion control device 12, it is confirmed whether the user has defaulted on payment of fees in the past use. In case of arrears, the user will be refused to log in or the account is frozen, which can avoid the situation where the facility is used in an unpaid state.

The present invention has been described based on the embodiments. Those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field should understand that this embodiment is exemplified, and various combinations of these constituent elements or processing processes can have various modifications, and such modifications also fall within the scope of the present invention. .
