Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To permit a housing equipment apparatus to be controlled to body conditions in an optimum way for individuals, by specifying the body conditions of a resident by the information from a body movement detecting means that detects the action of the resident and a physiological information detecting means that detects the physiological conditions of the resident, and by controlling an indoor environment on the basis of the body information. SOLUTION: A body movement detecting means 1 detects information on the body movement of a resident, that is to say, movements such as posture changes and walking and the minute vibration of a trunk part, and outputs it to a body information specifying means 3. A physiological information detecting means 2 detects the brainwave, eyeball movement, myoelectric, potential galvanic skin reflex, skin temperature, sweating reflex, and especially cardiac action of the resident, and outputs them to the body information specifying means 3. The body information specifying means 3 extracts the physiological information at the time when the body of the resident is at rest from the body movement information and the physiological information, and operates and speculates the body conditions at the time of resting. Moreover, the body information specifying means 3 controls the environmental factors of the environment where the resident stays, together with the tense and relaxed conditions of the mind and body of the resident.

In the above configuration, the body movement detecting means 1 detects the body movement of the occupant, ie, information on posture change, movement such as walking, and fine vibration of the trunk, and outputs the information to the body information specifying means 3 to detect physiological information. The means 2 detects the resident's brain waves, eye movements, myoelectric potential, skin electroreflection, skin temperature, sweating reflex, especially cardiac function, and outputs it to the physical information specifying means 3. The physiological information when the resident's body is at rest is extracted from the motion information and the physiological information, and the resting physical state is calculated and estimated. As an example,
An environmental control method for detecting an acute stress response from body movement information and physiological information in the physical information specifying means 3 to alleviate acute stress will be described. When detecting an acute stress response, the physiological information detecting means 2 detects an R wave in an electrocardiogram. The physical information specifying means 3 monitors the input from the body movement detecting means 1 and stops the physiological information detecting means 2 when there is a body movement of a level accompanied by the movement of the center of gravity. Performs information detection. When the chair resting state for 20 minutes is completed, the physical information specifying means 3 starts counting R waves and measures the RR interval in the electrocardiogram. When the average RR interval is shorter than the normal value, or the coefficient of variation CVR-R of the RR interval standardized by the average value of the standard deviation of the RR interval is smaller than the normal value, the autonomic nervous function is enhanced than usual, It is determined that the body has a burden on homeostasis. At this time, the physical information specifying means 3 transmits an acute stress elimination signal to the environmental factor control means 5 via the communication means 4. The environmental factor control means 5 having received the acute stress relieving signal sets the indoor thermal environment setting value by air conditioning to PMV = 0, the lighting color temperature setting to about 3500 K (bulb color), or the atmosphere near the resident to 10,000. Perform at least one of the spraying of anions of at least pcs / cc.

Conventionally, in the field of thermal environment, it has been known that an autonomous thermoregulatory reaction is minimized in a thermal neutral state. This means that the activity of the autonomic nervous system increases when the temperature becomes colder or hotter than the thermal neutral state,
It exhibits a kind of stress response, but in the thermal neutral state, the activity of the autonomic nervous system is reduced, and the stress response of the living body is minimized. In addition to the thermal environment, the correspondence between the color temperature of the illumination light source and the activity of the autonomic nervous system is shown. In addition, the action potential of nerve fibers in a living body and the cation dependency of muscle tone suggest that anion present in the air has an effect of relaxing the tone of the living body. These facts show a close relationship between the home equipment such as air conditioning equipment, lighting equipment, and air purifiers and the human homeostasis maintaining function controlled by the autonomic nervous system. The environmental control apparatus according to the present invention focuses on this relation, and realizes environmental control adapted to the characteristics of the function of maintaining homeostasis by using the housing equipment.

According to the detection interval setting means 6 in the environment control apparatus according to the present invention, the detection intervals of the body motion detection by the body motion detection means 1 and the detection of the physiological information by the physiological information detecting means 2 are arbitrarily set. It is possible to do.
As an example, in the present embodiment, the detection interval setting unit 6
By setting the detection interval by, the abnormal behavior in the daily living behavior of the resident for 72 hours is shown as a result of the detection of abnormal sleep. The determination of the sleep time by the physical information identification means 3 of the present embodiment is based on the determination that the lying position for more than 4 hours is continuous between 20:00 and 10:00 the next day, and the minimum value of the heartbeat for 90 minutes in a row is the past 12 hours. The time zone showing the lowest value was taken as sleep time. In such sleep time measurement, sleep less than 6 hours was determined to be insufficient sleep. In the present embodiment, the time is measured by a clock included in the physical information specifying unit 3, and the occupant's lying posture is determined by the body movement detecting unit 1.
The heart rate was detected by the physiological information detecting means 2. At this time, the body movement detecting means 1 and the physiological information detecting means 2 were set by the detecting interval setting means 6 so as to measure for 30 seconds every 4 minutes and 30 seconds. For body movement, the change in acceleration for 30 seconds was used, and for heart rate, the heart rate was twice the number of heart beats for 30 seconds. According to the above measurement, of the 72 hours,
There are 2 cycles, 1 cycle is 8 hours normal sleep,
The other cycle was determined to be lacking sleep for 4 hours and 30 minutes. At this time, if sleep deprivation is specified by the physical information specifying means 3, the physical information specifying means 3 transmits an acute stress relieving signal so that the subsequent environmental control does not cause tension of the autonomic nervous system for the resident. The information is transmitted to the environmental factor control means 5 via the means 4. The environmental factor control means 5 receiving the acute stress elimination signal sets the indoor thermal environment setting value by air conditioning to PMV = 0 or the color temperature setting value of the lighting to 3500K.
(Bulb color) about 10,000 or in the atmosphere near the resident
At least one of cc or more of anions is sprayed and music specified by the resident in advance is played. In the present embodiment, the personal information is specified by using a personal computer as the physical information specifying means 3, but is limited to a personal computer as long as the device executes a similar physical information specifying program written on a recording medium. No need.
