With regard to the program, wherein, preferably, in a case where it is determined that the child is in a relaxed condition and it is determined that the guardian is in a stressed condition, the first message for prompting the guardian to take an action to relax the guardian is displayed on the display during the first display process.

According to such a procedure, an objective method for relieving tension can be provided to a guardian who feels tension.

With regard to the program, wherein, preferably, in the case where it is determined that the child and the guardian are in a stressed condition, the first message for prompting the guardian to take an action of relaxing the guardian and the child is displayed on the display during the first display process.

According to such a procedure, the guardian can be prompted to take appropriate action, thereby effectively relieving tension.

With regard to the program, it is preferable that the computer includes an accelerometer for outputting a signal corresponding to movement of a measurement object when measuring a heartbeat, wherein the condition of the child is determined based on the signal corresponding to the movement of the child output from the accelerometer and a measurement result of the heartbeat of the child during the first determination process, and wherein the condition of the guardian is determined based on the signal corresponding to the movement of the guardian output from the accelerometer and the measurement result of the heartbeat of the guardian during the second determination process.

According to such a computer system, a guardian who is looking after a child can appropriately grasp and cope with the cause of tension.

In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a method of operating a motor

Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of a terminal 10. According to the operation result of the user of the terminal 10 (hereinafter simply referred to as "user"), the terminal 10 displays a recommendation or the like for relieving the user's stress on a display (described later).

The terminal 10 (computer) is, for example, a smartphone, and includes a storage unit 20, a control unit 21, an input unit 22, a display 23, a camera 24, an accelerometer 25, a timer 26, and a communication unit 27.

The storage unit 20 stores a program 40 executed by a processor (not shown) of the terminal 10,

threshold data items

41a and 41b,

history data items

42a and 42b, and message data 43. Procedure 40 is used to support relief of stress for the user.

The threshold data item 41a is data representing a threshold Ta used when determining whether an infant (child) is in a relaxed condition or a stressed condition, and the threshold data item 41b is data representing a threshold Tb used when determining whether a guardian of the infant is in a relaxed condition or a stressed condition. Note that details of the

threshold data items

41a and 41b will be described later.

The history data item 42a is data relating to the heart rate of the infant measured in the past and data relating to the measurement time, and the history data item 42b is data relating to the heart rate of the guardian measured in the past and data relating to the measurement time. Note that the data relating to the measurement time includes information of the time at which measurement of the heart rate starts ("measurement time") and a time zone in hours to which the measurement time belongs ("measurement time zone"). For example, in the case where the "measurement time" is 8:15 between 8:00 and 9:00, the "measurement time band" is "8". In addition, in the present embodiment, the

history data items

42a and 42b are updated each time the heart rates of the infant and the guardian are measured.

The message data 43 is data indicating messages corresponding to the conditions of the infant and the guardian, and the time when the heartbeat is measured. Fig. 2 shows message data 43. The message data 43 includes data corresponding to three elements: "condition of infant (relaxed or tensed)", "condition of guardian (relaxed or tensed)", and "time zone (morning, afternoon, evening)". Here, for example, "morning" is a time band from 6:00 to 11:00, "afternoon" is a time band from 11:00 to 18:00, and "evening" is a time band from 18:00 to 6: 00.

For example, when the infant and the guardian are in a "relaxed condition" and the measurement time is "afternoon", the message data 43 is selected to be data indicating "rhythmic movement with the child" for prompting the guardian to move with the infant.

When the infant is in a "strained condition", the guardian is in a "relaxed condition", and the measurement time is "afternoon", the message data 43 is selected as the message data 43, which indicates "a song to take a hold and sing a diaper change" for prompting the guardian to take an action of relaxing the infant.

When the infant is in the "relaxed state", the guardian is in the "stressed state", and the measurement time is in the "afternoon", the message data 43 is selected as data indicating "drink herbal tea and listen to music" for prompting the guardian to take action of relaxation.

In addition, when the infant and the guardian are in a "stressful condition" and the measurement time is "afternoon", as the message data 43, data indicating "nap together" for prompting the guardian to take an action of relaxing the infant and the guardian is selected. Home support (consultation) is also effective. ".

A processor (not shown) provided in the terminal 10 executes the program 40, thereby implementing the control unit 21 as a functional block in the terminal 10. The control unit 21 controls the entire terminal 10, and includes a plurality of blocks that perform various processes. Note that details of the functional blocks implemented in the control unit 21 will be described later.

The operation result of the user of the terminal 10 is input to the input unit 22. The input unit 22 is implemented as a tap operation on the touch panel display 23 of the terminal 10. The display 23 displays a recommendation to the user or various information based on a command from the control unit 21 or an operation result of the user.

The camera 24 (measuring means) measures light reflected from blood flow when a part such as a finger or palm is irradiated with light from a light emitting diode (not shown). That is, the camera 24 according to the present embodiment operates as an optical heartbeat (pulsation) measuring device in addition to a typical photographing or video shooting device.

The accelerometer 25 measures acceleration corresponding to a force applied to the terminal 10, and the timer 26 measures time of day. The communication unit 27 transmits or receives information between the terminal 10 and other terminals or servers (not shown).

The function block implemented in the control unit 21

The control unit 21 includes a measurement processing section 50, situation

determination processing sections

51a and 51b, a message display processing section 52, and an implementation inquiry processing section 53.

The measurement processing section 50 is a block for measuring the heart rate of the measurement target and the acceleration of the terminal 10, and as shown in fig. 3, includes a display processing section 100, a reception processing section 101, an acceleration measurement processing section 102, a heartbeat measurement processing section 103, and a calculation processing section 104.

Under predetermined conditions, the display processing unit 100 displays a message prompting the user to measure the heartbeat or an image prompting the user to input the age of the month of the infant on the display 23. The display processing unit 100 also displays the waveform of the measured heartbeat on the display 23.

The reception processing unit 101 receives the inputted month age of the infant. The acceleration measurement processing unit 102 measures the acceleration of the terminal 10 based on the output from the accelerometer 25.

The heartbeat measurement processing section 103 processes the signal output from the camera 24 and measures the heart rate of the measurement target.

The calculation processing unit 104 calculates "autonomic nerve activity" indicating whether or not the measurement subject is tired. Specifically, the calculation processing section 104 analyzes the frequency of the interval between measured heartbeats (R-R interval), and sets the sum of the spectral density of the low-frequency component (0.04 to 0.15Hz) and the spectral density of the high-frequency component (0.15 to 0.4Hz) as "autonomic nerve activity". Generally, the higher the value of "autonomic nerve activity", the less tired the measurement subject is.

The state determination processing unit 51a is a block for determining whether the infant is in a relaxed state or a tensed state, and includes, as shown in fig. 4, a threshold processing unit 120a, a determination processing unit 121a, and a display processing unit 122 a.

The threshold processing unit 120a sets a threshold Ta used for determining the status of the infant. Specifically, the threshold processing unit 120a sets the threshold Ta based on the threshold data item 41a, the history data item 42a, the acceleration of the terminal 10, and the age of the infant, which change according to the age of the month. Details of the processing performed by the threshold processing section 120a will be described later.

The determination processing unit 121a compares the measured heart rate with a threshold Ta, and determines the status of the infant. Specifically, the determination processing unit 121a determines that the infant is in a stressed condition when the measured heart rate is higher than the threshold Ta, and determines that the infant is in a relaxed condition when the measured heart rate is lower than the threshold Ta.

The display processing unit 122a displays an image based on the determination result of the determination processing unit 121a on the display 23.

The situation determination processing unit 51b is a block for determining whether the guardian is in a relaxed situation or a stressed situation, and includes a threshold processing unit 120b, a determination processing unit 121b, and a display processing unit 122b, as shown in fig. 4.

The threshold processing unit 120b sets a threshold Tb used when determining the status of the guardian. Specifically, the threshold processing section 120b sets the threshold Tb based on the predetermined threshold data item 41b, history data item 42b, and acceleration of the terminal 10. Details of the processing performed by the threshold processing section 120b will be described later.

The determination processing section 121b compares the measured heart rate with the threshold Tb, and determines the condition of the guardian. Specifically, the determination processing unit 121a determines that the monitor is in a stressed condition when the measured heart rate is higher than the threshold Tb, and determines that the monitor is in a relaxed condition when the measured heart rate is lower than the threshold Tb.

The display processing unit 122b displays an image based on the determination result of the determination processing unit 121b on the display 23.

The message display processing unit 52 selects data corresponding to the time and the conditions of the infant and the guardian from the message data 43, and displays a message for the guardian on the display 23.

The execution inquiry processing unit 53 determines whether or not the guardian has followed the advice displayed on the display 23, and performs various processes.

< < support method for guardian > >)

Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing a guardian support process performed by the terminal 10. Note that the entire flow of the guardian support process is described below, and details of the respective steps of fig. 5 will be described later. In addition, assume that the program 40 has been started as a result of an operation on the terminal 10.

First, when the user operates a main screen (described later) displayed on the display 23, the measurement processing unit 50 performs a process for measuring the heartbeat of the infant (S1). When the measurement of the heartbeat of the infant is completed, the situation determination processing unit 51a performs processing for determining the situation of the infant (S2).

When determining the status of the infant, the measurement processing unit 50 performs a process for measuring the heartbeat of the guardian (S3). The situation determination processing unit 51b performs a process for determining the situation of the guardian (S4). Based on the obtained determination result and the time, the message display processing section 52 displays a message for the guardian (described later) on the display 23 (S5). The execution inquiry processing unit 53 determines whether or not the advice displayed on the display 23 is followed, and displays the effect of the followed advice on the display 23 (S6).

< Process for measuring Heartbeat of infant (S1: measurement Process) >

Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing a process for measuring the heartbeat of an infant, fig. 7 shows a screen 70 displayed before the heartbeat of an infant is measured, and fig. 8 shows a screen 71 displayed when the heartbeat of an infant is being measured. Here, the infant is a girl (12 months old) named "Sakura (cherry)" and the guardian is the mother of Sakura ("Yukiko").

First, the parent operates a home screen (not shown) to initiate the procedure 40. The display processing unit 100 determines whether or not the current time is included in the "measurement time zone (predetermined time zone)" in which the heartbeat was measured in the past, based on the history data item 42a (S10). If the current time is included in the "measurement time zone" (yes in S10), the screen 70 is displayed on the display 23 of the terminal 10. Specifically, the display processing unit 100 displays an image 200 prompting the parent to measure the heart rate of the infant on the display 23 (S11: fifth display processing). Here, the image 200 is a message (fifth message) "please measure Sakura". Based on such a message, the guardian can measure the heartbeat of the infant in the same time band as the past measurement time band. This makes it easier to follow up on the changes in the heartbeat and the condition of the infant.

The display processing unit 100 displays an image 201 (input image) for prompting the parent to input the month age information (time zone information) of the infant and an image 202 for receiving the month age information on the display 23 (S12: input image display processing). Note that the image 201 is a message "please enter the month age of Sakura", and the image 202 represents "OO month". When the guardian taps the display 23 to input the age of the month (12 months) of Sakura, the reception processing unit 101 receives the input age of the month information (S13: time zone information reception processing). Subsequently, the display processing unit 100 displays an image 203 prompting the guardian to measure the heart rate in the palm of the infant and a start icon 204 for starting measurement on the display 23 (S14: fourth display processing). Note that the image 203 is a message (fourth message) "please measure at the palm of Sakura". Typically, the parent can measure the heartbeat by pointing the infant's finger at the lens (not shown) of the camera 24. However, since the fingers of the infant are thin, the measurement accuracy of the heartbeat may be low. On the other hand, since even the area of the palm of the infant is large, the heartbeat can be measured more accurately.

After the guardian places the palm of the Sakura on the lens (not shown) of the camera 24, in a case where the guardian taps the start icon 204 displayed on the display 23, the acceleration measurement processing section 102 measures the acceleration corresponding to the movement of the Sakura based on the signal from the accelerometer 25 (S15). Based on the light reflected from the palm, the heartbeat measurement processing unit 103 measures the heartbeat of the infant (S16). Further, the calculation processing section calculates "autonomic nervous activity" from the heartbeat measured in step S16 (S17).

The display processing unit 100 displays the screen 71 displayed when the heartbeat of the infant is measured on the display 23 (S18: second display processing). The screen 71 includes an image 210 representing the heart rate of Sakura, an image 211 representing the waveform of the heartbeat, an image 212 representing the level of "autonomic nerve activity" (low to high), and an image 213 representing a child care-related message (second message) for the guardian. Here, the display processing section 100 obtains information on weather forecast on the next day of the measurement day via the internet (not shown) to generate the image 213. Thus, image 213 includes information about child care corresponding to the weather of the next day, such as "mom, thank you today. Clear weather and what is going out? "and the like. Since such a message is displayed, the guardian can feel more strongly connected with the infant and can provide effective child care. Note that although the display processing section 100 displays a message related to going out, the message is not limited thereto, and any message related to child care may be displayed. For example, based on the month age information, the display processing part 100 may display a message "OO month check of Sakura is coming".

Subsequently, the heartbeat measurement processing unit 103 determines whether or not the measurement of the heartbeat of the infant has ended (S19), and if it is determined that the measurement has not ended (no in S19), executes step S15. On the other hand, if it is determined that the measurement is completed (yes in S19), the heartbeat measurement processing unit 103 stores the heart rate of the infant as the measurement result in the storage unit 20 together with the time measured by the timer 26 (S20). As a result, the history data items 42a (heart rate, "measurement time" and "measurement time band") in the storage unit 20 are updated.

< Process for determining status of infant (S2: first determination Process) >

Fig. 9 is a flowchart showing a process for determining the condition of an infant, fig. 10 shows a threshold Ta, and fig. 11 shows a screen 72 representing the measurement result of the heartbeat of an infant and other information.

First, the threshold processing section 120a obtains the threshold data item 41a stored in the storage unit 20 (S30). Here, the threshold data item 41a is data representing the relationship between the age of the month of the infant and the average heart rate, and is represented by, for example, a chain line 300 (threshold Ta) in fig. 10. As shown by the dash-dot line 300, typically, the heart rate of an infant decreases as the infant grows.

In addition, the threshold processing section 120a obtains the history data item 42a (history information) and the acceleration measured in step S15 to adjust the threshold Ta (S31). As described above, the threshold Ta indicated by the chain line 300 is the relationship between the age of the infant in the month and the average heart rate. Thus, for example, in the case where the past average heart rate of Sakura is higher than that of an infant, the threshold Ta needs to be increased. On the other hand, in the case where the average heart rate of Sakura is lower than that of infants, the threshold Ta needs to be decreased. For example, in the case where Sakura is actively moving (acceleration is high) before measuring the heartbeat of Sakura, the measured heart rate is higher than usual, and thus the threshold Ta needs to be increased. The threshold processing portion 120a in the present embodiment refers to the history data item 42a indicating the measurement result of the past heart rate of Sakura and the acceleration to obtain the appropriate threshold Ta.

Here, when the average heart rate of Sakura is high, and when the acceleration is high when measuring the heartbeat of Sakura, the threshold processing unit 120a increases the threshold Ta based on the history data item 42a and the acceleration. As a result, the threshold Ta changes from the dashed-dotted line 300 to the solid line 301.

Subsequently, the determination processing part 121a compares the measured "heart rate X" with the "heart rate Y" of the threshold Ta for the age of the month (S32). Note that the "heart rate Y" is a heart rate corresponding to the threshold Ta of "12 months" which is the age of the month of Sakura. When the "heart rate X" is higher than the "heart rate Y" (yes in S32), the determination processing unit 121a determines that the infant is in a stress state (S33). On the other hand, when the "heart rate X" is lower than the "heart rate Y" (no in S32), the determination processing unit 121a determines that the infant is in a relaxed state (S34). Note that in the present embodiment, "heart rate X" of Sakura is higher than "heart rate Y", and thus the condition of Sakura is determined as "tension condition".

As shown in fig. 11, the display processing unit 122a displays the screen 72 based on the determination result of the determination processing unit 121a on the display 23 (S35). Here, the screen 72 includes an image 220 representing a change in the heart rate of Sakura, an image 221 representing a change in "autonomic nerve activity", and an image 222 representing a message for the guardian. Here, the image 222 is a message related to the status of Sakura, and indicates "Sakura seems to be tensed". Since such a message is displayed, the guardian can appropriately grasp the status of the infant.

< Process for measuring the Heartbeat of a guardian (S3: measurement Process) >

Fig. 12 is a flowchart showing a process for measuring the guardian's heartbeat, fig. 13 shows a screen 73 displayed before the guardian's heartbeat is measured, and fig. 14 shows a screen 74 displayed while the guardian's heartbeat is being measured.

First, the display processing unit 100 displays the screen 73 on the display 23 of the terminal 10 (S40: third display processing). Specifically, the display processing section 100 displays a screen 73 on the display 23, the screen 73 including an image 230 prompting the guardian to measure their heart rate, a cartoon character image 231, and a start icon 232 for starting measurement. Note that the image 230 is the measurement completion of the message (third message) "Sakura. Please measure yourself as well. ".

In a case where the guardian places the finger of the hand on the lens of the camera 24 (not shown) and then taps the start icon 232 displayed on the display 23, the acceleration measurement processing section 102 measures the acceleration of the terminal 10 (S41). Based on the light reflected from the finger, the heartbeat measurement processing unit 103 measures the heartbeat of the guardian (S42). Further, the calculation processing portion calculates "autonomic nerve activity" from the measured heartbeat (S43).

The display processing unit 100 displays the screen 74 displayed when the heart beat of the guardian is being measured on the display 23 (S44). The screen 74 includes an image 240 representing the heart rate of Yukiko as a guardian, an image 241 representing the waveform of the heartbeat, an image 242 representing the level of "autonomic nerve activity" (low to high), and an image 243 representing a message for the guardian. Image 243 includes messages encouraging guardians, such as "Yukiko, you are working hard today," and so forth. Such a message is effective for relieving child care stress.

The heartbeat measurement processing unit 103 determines whether or not the measurement of the patient' S heartbeat is completed (S45), and if it is determined that the measurement has not been completed (no in S45), executes step S41. On the other hand, if it is determined that the measurement is completed (yes in S45), the heartbeat measurement processing unit 103 stores the heart rate of the guardian as the measurement result in the storage unit 20 together with the time measured by the timer 26 (S46). As a result, the history data items 42b (heart rate, "measurement time" and "measurement time band") in the storage unit 20 are updated. Note that steps S41 to S46 are substantially the same as steps S15 to S20 described above.

< Process for judging status of guardian (S4: second judgment Process) >

Fig. 15 is a flowchart showing a process for determining the condition of the guardian, fig. 16 shows a screen 75 representing the measurement results of the guardian's heartbeat and other information, and fig. 17 shows a screen 76 representing the conditions of the infant and the guardian and other information.

First, the threshold processing section 120b obtains the threshold data item 41b stored in the storage unit 20 (S50). Here, the threshold data item 41b represents an average heart rate of an adult (hereinafter referred to as an average adult heart rate), and is data of a predetermined value (threshold Tb). In addition, the threshold processing section 120b obtains the history data item 42b and the acceleration measured in step S41 to adjust the threshold Tb (S51).

For example, in the case where the average heart rate of Yukiko is higher than the "average adult heart rate", the threshold value Tb needs to be increased. On the other hand, in the case where the average heart rate of Yukiko is lower than the "average adult heart rate", the threshold value Tb needs to be decreased. For example, in the case where Yukiko is moving (acceleration is high) before measuring the heartbeat of Yukiko, the measured heart rate is higher than usual, and therefore the threshold value Tb needs to be increased. In this way, the threshold processing section 120b refers to the history data item 42b representing the measurement result of the past heart rate of Yukiko, and the acceleration to obtain the appropriate threshold Ta. The threshold value processing section 120b decreases the threshold value Tb in a case where the normal heartbeat of Yukiko tends to be low, and in a case where the acceleration is almost zero when the heartbeat of Yukiko is measured.

Subsequently, the determination processing section 121b compares the measured "heart rate P" with the "heart rate Q" corresponding to the adjusted threshold Tb (S52). When the "heart rate P" is higher than the "heart rate Q" (yes in S52), the determination processing unit 121b determines that the guardian is in a stressed condition (S53). On the other hand, if the "heart rate P" is lower than the "heart rate Q" (no in S52), the determination processing unit 121b determines that the guardian is in a relaxed state (S54). Note that, in the present embodiment, the "heart rate P" of Yukiko is lower than the "heart rate Q", and thus the condition of Yukiko is judged as the "relaxed condition".

As shown in fig. 16, the display processing unit 122b displays a screen 75 indicating the measurement result and the determination result on the display 23 (S55). Here, the screen 75 includes an image 250 representing the degree of relaxation of the guardian, an image 251 representing a change in "autonomic nerve activity", and an image 222 representing a message for the guardian.

Here, as the image 250, a degree of relaxation (degree of tension) corresponding to the difference between the "heart rate P" and the "heart rate Q" is displayed. Specifically, as the "heart rate P" becomes lower than the "heart rate Q", the degree of relaxation increases, and as the "heart rate P" becomes higher than the "heart rate Q", the degree of tension increases. In addition, the image 252 is a message related to the condition of Yukiko, and indicates that "Yukiko seems to feel relaxed". Since such a message is displayed, the guardian can appropriately grasp their condition.

When the guardian performs the predetermined operation, as shown in fig. 17, the display processing unit 122b displays a screen 76 indicating the status of the infant and the guardian and other information on the display 23 (S55). The screen 76 includes an image 260 representing the heart rate of Sakura, an image 261 representing the status of Sakura, an image 262 representing the heart rate of Yukiko mother (Yukiko), and an image 263 representing the status of Yukiko mother. Thus, the guardian can appropriately grasp the conditions of both the infant and the guardian.

< message display processing (S5) >

Fig. 18 is a flowchart showing a message display process, and fig. 19 shows a screen 77 including a message for a guardian.

First, the message display processing unit 52 obtains "time information" indicating the current time measured by the timer 26 (S60). Subsequently, based on the result of the "processing for determining the status of an infant" described above, the message display processing unit 52 determines the status of an infant (S61). When the infant is in a stressed condition (S61: stressed), the message display processing unit 52 determines the status of the guardian (S62).

< infants: tension; a guardian: tension >

When the guardian is in a stressed condition (S62: stressed), the message display processing unit 52 displays a message on the display 23 prompting the guardian to take an action of relaxing oneself and the infant (S63: first display processing). Note that in step S63, the message display processing part 52 determines that the current time corresponds to "morning", "afternoon", or "evening" described in fig. 2, and displays the corresponding message. For example, in the case where the current time is included in the "morning" time zone, in step S63, the message (first message) "support service shown in FIG. 2 is displayed as being valid, and also walks with the infant! ". Often, in a stressful situation, the guardian may not determine how to do so to relieve the stress. In this embodiment, the guardian may be prompted to take appropriate action in such a situation, thereby effectively relieving stress.

< infants: tension; a guardian: relaxation >

On the other hand, when the guardian is in the relaxed condition (S62: relaxed), the message display processing unit 52 displays a message on the display 23 prompting the guardian to take an action of relaxing the infant (S64: first display processing). For example, in the case where the current time is included in the "morning" time zone, in step S64, a message (first message) "talking to the infant, reading the infant, and holding an infant! ". Thus, by taking action based on the message, the guardian can relieve the infant from stress. In addition, this can also relieve the guardian of stress from infants (child care stress).

< infants: relaxing; a guardian: tension >

If the infant is in a relaxed state in step S61 (S61: relaxed), the message display processing unit 52 determines the status of the guardian (S65). When the guardian is in a stressed condition (S65: stressed), the message display processing unit 52 displays a message prompting the guardian to take a relaxing action on the display 23 (S66: first display processing). For example, in the case where the current time is included in the "morning" time band, in step S66, a message (first message) "deep breath! Home support is also used! ". Thus, the guardian can take appropriate action to relieve the stress.

< infants: relaxing; a guardian: relaxation >

On the other hand, when the guardian is in the relaxed state (S65: relaxed), the message display processing unit 52 displays a message prompting the guardian to move with the infant on the display 23 (S67: first display processing). For example, in the case where the current time is included in the "morning" time zone, in step S67, a message (first message) "to outdoors! ". Thus, the guardian and the infant can communicate in a relaxed condition, thereby firmly coupling the guardian and the infant together. Although omitted for convenience in fig. 18, in steps S63 to S67, the message display processing unit 52 displays an image representing a cartoon character or the like on the display 23 in addition to an image representing a message.

< Sakura: tension; yukiko: relaxation >

In the present embodiment, for example, Sakura is in a stressed condition, and Yukiko is in a relaxed condition. The current time of message display processing is 19:00, which is in the "evening" time band. Thus, based on step S64, as shown in fig. 19, the message display processing part 52 displays the screen 77 including the

images

270 and 272 representing the message and the cartoon character image 271 on the display 23. Here, the image 270 is a message (first message) "massage the infant after bathing! ". The image 272 is an icon for reproducing a video related to infant massage on the display 23, and includes a message "view video introducing infant massage". For example, in the case where the user taps the image 272, a video that introduces a method of massaging an infant is reproduced on the display 23. At this time, information (advice) related to massage of the infant may be displayed on the display 23. Since such a screen 77 is displayed, Yukiko can take a bath for Sakura and then smoothly massage her according to the recommendation, thereby effectively relieving the tension of Sakura.

< implementation query processing (S6) >

Fig. 20 is a flowchart for inquiring whether or not the content of the message is implemented, and fig. 21 shows a screen 78 for inquiring whether or not the content of the message is implemented. Fig. 22 shows a screen 79 displayed when the content of the message is implemented.

First, the execution inquiry processing unit 53 displays a screen 78 for inquiring whether or not the content of the message is executed on the display 23 (S70: sixth display processing). The screen 78 includes an image 280 representing a question related to the implementation or non-implementation of the content of the message and an image 281 for receiving an answer to the question. Note that the image 280 is a message (sixth message) "do you have massaged the infant after bathing? ", and in the image 281, the option" yes, no "is displayed.

When the guardian taps the display 23 and inputs whether or not the content of the message is implemented, the implementation query processing unit 53 receives information (implementation information) indicating whether or not the content of the message is implemented (S71: implementation information reception processing). Subsequently, based on the received information, the execution inquiry processing unit 53 determines whether or not the content of the message is executed (S72: third determination processing). When the execution inquiry processing unit 53 determines that the content of the execution message is not executed (no in S72), the processing ends. On the other hand, when the inquiry execution processing unit 53 determines that the content of the message is executed (yes in S72), the inquiry execution processing unit 53 determines that the subject of the heartbeat measurement is (S73).

Here, the inquiry processing unit 53 determines the target based on the determination result of the process (S2) for determining the status of the infant and the determination result of the process (S4) for determining the status of the guardian. Specifically, when any one of the infant and the guardian is in a stressed condition, the execution inquiry processing unit 53 sets the person in the stressed condition as the subject. In addition, when the infant and the guardian are in the same condition, for example, the execution inquiry processing unit 53 sets a person with a higher degree of stress (a person with a larger difference between the threshold value and the heart rate) as the target. Note that, in the present embodiment, since Sakura is in a stressed condition and Yukiko is in a relaxed condition, Sakura is a measurement object.

When the measurement target is an infant (S73: infant), a process for measuring the heartbeat of the infant (S74) and a process for determining the condition of the infant (S75) are performed. When the measurement object is a guardian (S73: guardian), a process for measuring the heartbeat of the guardian (S76) and a process for determining the status of the guardian (S77) are performed. Note that steps S74 and S75 are substantially the same as steps S1 and S2 described above, respectively, and steps S76 and S77 are substantially the same as steps S3 and S4 described above, respectively. Therefore, detailed descriptions of steps S74 to S77 are omitted here.

Subsequently, when the process for determining the status of the infant (S75) or the process for determining the status of the guardian (S77) is performed, the execution inquiry processing unit 53 compares the result obtained by the current process with the result obtained by the previous process, and displays a screen 79 including the comparison result and a message on the display 23 (S78: seventh display process). Specifically, in the case where steps S74 and S75 relating to the infant are performed, the implementation query processing unit 53 compares the results of steps S74 and S75 (current results) with the results of steps S1 and S2 (previous results). On the other hand, when the steps S76 and S77 related to the guardian are performed, the execution query processing unit 53 compares the results (current results) of the steps S76 and S77 with the results (previous results) of the previous steps S3 and S4.

In the present embodiment, the message "massage the infant after bathing!based on the message in the image 270 in fig. 19! ", Yukiko bathe Sakura and then massaged her. In this case, the execution inquiry processing unit 53 displays a screen 79 including an image 290 showing the heartbeat comparison result and status of Sakura and an image 291 showing a message from Sakura. Note that image 290 is the message "Sakura's heartbeat falls OO. She felt relaxed. ", and image 291 is the message" thank you for your mom! I relax through massage! ". Because such messages are displayed, the guardian can realize the benefits of enforcing the content of the message. By being able to achieve these benefits, the parent can easily continue to measure the heartbeat over a long period of time, and thus follow-up (e.g., mastering the changes in the heartbeat over a long period of time) of especially an infant becomes easy.

By the judgment of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves

In the present embodiment, the condition of the measurement target is determined by comparing the heart rate with a threshold value. However, "sympathetic" activity and "parasympathetic" activity obtained by analyzing heart rate frequency may also be used, for example.

Specifically, the sympathetic nerves and the parasympathetic nerves are obtained from measuring the heart rate of the subject. In the case where the sympathetic nerve is higher than the parasympathetic nerve, it is judged as "tension condition"; when the parasympathetic nerve is higher than the sympathetic nerve, it is determined as "relaxed condition". However, in case the measurement subject is very happy and emotionally overcome (so-called excitement situation) or excited, the sympathetic nerves are higher than the parasympathetic nerves. Therefore, even in the case where it is determined as the "tension situation", the situation is not always the "tension situation".

On the other hand, even in the case where the "parasympathetic nerve" is high and it is judged as the "relaxed condition", the measurement object may be simply tired in some cases. Thus, for example, the screen 72 shown in fig. 11 may be provided with an image a (e.g., an icon) that enables input and reception of "subjective information" indicating whether the measurement object is tired (bad emotion) or good (good emotion). Note that the "subjective information" is information set by the guardian to subjectively judge the emotion of the subject based on the condition of the infant or the condition of the guardian.

In this case, the

display processing parts

122a and 122b may display messages based on the sympathetic nerves, the parasympathetic nerves, and the "subjective information". Specifically, in the case where the infant has a sympathetic nerve higher than the parasympathetic nerve and the "subjective information" is "good mood", a message "good mood and active! Playing for a while and then relaxing to rest, which can make the sleep good. ". By referring to such "subjective information", effective advice to relieve tension can be provided.

Inputting month-old

In the above-described non-limiting embodiment, although the month age of the infant is received in the process (S1) for measuring the heartbeat of the infant, the month age may be input together, for example, when setting the "profile" of the infant. Specifically, when the program 40 is started and an input screen (not shown) for inputting "profile" of an infant is displayed, the guardian can input "name", "month age", "height", and "weight" of the infant. Note that information input on an input screen (not shown) is stored in the storage unit 20. In addition, the calculation processing portion 104 may calculate the current "month age" of the infant, for example, based on the information indicating the "month age" input on the input screen (not shown) and stored in the storage unit 20. Note that, in the case where the calculation processing portion 104 calculates the current "month age" of the infant, the threshold processing portion 120a may set the threshold Ta by using the calculated "month age". Thus, also in this case, the condition of the infant can be judged as accurately as in the embodiment.

Note that at step S12 in the process for measuring the heartbeat of an infant (S1), for example, "height" and "weight" may be input. For example, when the threshold value Ta varies not only with the "month age" but also with the "height" and the "weight", the condition of the infant can be accurately determined by using these pieces of information.

In addition, on an input screen (not shown) for inputting "profile", various information (for example, name and body type) of the infant and guardian can be input.

For "average adult heart rate" ═

In the above-described non-limiting embodiment, although the threshold data item 41b is a predetermined value (threshold Tb) representing "average adult heart rate", the threshold of the threshold data item 41b may be varied according to, for example, "sex", "age", or "body type (height and weight)". Specifically, a plurality of thresholds set based on the above items (sex, age, body type) may be the threshold data items 41b, and stored in the storage unit 20. In addition, the threshold processing section 120b refers to the information of "sex", "age", and "body type" of the guardian stored in advance in the storage unit 20, and can obtain the optimum threshold from the threshold data item 41 b. Note that "sex", "age", and "body type" of the guardian and the like are stored in the storage unit 20 by the guardian operating the terminal 10 in advance. By using such a threshold data item 41b, the condition of the guardian can be judged more accurately. Note that, in addition to items such as "gender" and the like, the threshold value may be changed based on whether there is an infant of substantially the same degree of age of the month as the guardian, for example. In this case, the threshold processing unit 120b selects the optimum threshold based on the item such as "sex" of the guardian and "month age of the infant".

Other embodiments are also possible

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely to facilitate the understanding of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention in any way. The present invention may be variously changed or modified without departing from the gist thereof, and includes equivalents thereof. For example, the following modifications may be made.

In the above embodiments, although the guardian is the mother of an infant, the guardian may also be a father, grandmother or grandfather, brother, sister or unrelated person.

Instead of the relationship between the infant and the guardian, for example, also in the relationship between an elderly or disabled person (caretaker) and the caregiver, the caregiver can relieve the strain by using the program 40 of the terminal 10.

Further, in the above-described non-limiting embodiment, although the heart rate and the threshold value are compared with each other to determine a stressed condition or a relaxed condition, for example, based on the "autonomic nerve activity" or the heartbeat frequency analysis result, the condition of the measurement subject may be determined.

In the above-described non-limiting embodiment, the message display processing portion 52 obtains "time information" indicating the current time in step S60. Typically, the time interval between measuring the heartbeat of an infant or a guardian and displaying a message to the guardian is short. Therefore, for example, in step S60, the message display processing unit 52 may obtain "time information" indicating the time at which the heartbeat of the infant or the guardian is measured. Also in this case, a suitable message is displayed on the display 23.

In addition, in the above-described non-limiting embodiment, although the heartbeat of the guardian is measured after the heartbeat of the infant is measured, for example, the heartbeat of the infant may be measured after the heartbeat of the guardian is measured. Alternatively, after measuring the heart beats of both the guardian and the infant, the respective conditions may be determined.

In addition, the program may be provided to the computer by using a non-transitory computer-readable medium having an executable program. Note that examples of the non-transitory computer-readable medium include a magnetic recording medium (e.g., a floppy disk, a magnetic tape, or a hard disk drive), a CD-ROM (read only memory), and the like.
