BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0031]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of an external configuration of an alarm clock according to the present invention. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals. In the figure, 1 is an alarm time setting input unit, 2 is a release operation input unit, 4 is a speaker as an alarm output unit, 5 is an information display unit as an alarm release method notifying unit, 9 is a clock display unit that displays a clock, Reference numeral 7 denotes a color display button. Here, the case where the number of color display buttons is three is shown, but the number is not limited to three, and an arbitrary number of color display buttons can be provided. The clock display unit 9 displays the output of the clock unit 6.
[0032]
Reference numeral 8 denotes a speaker as a canceling method notifying unit for notifying an alarm canceling method by voice. The operation of the alarm clock thus configured will be described below with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
[0033]
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the alarm control unit. First, it is checked whether or not the clock is in a timer setting state (S1). If the timer is not set, no processing is performed.
[0034]
Here, the setting of the timer is performed by setting the alarm time with the alarm time setting input unit 1. The operator operates the button of the alarm time setting input unit 1 to set the timer setting mode. When the timer setting mode is entered, the clock display section 9 enters the clock display setting mode. Here, when the operator operates the alarm time setting input unit 1 to input the alarm setting time information, the clock display unit 9 displays the alarm display time. Here, when the displayed time is reached and the alarm display time comes, the timer time setting operation ends. At this time, the alarm time is stored in the internal memory of the clock.
[0035]
Next, the alarm control unit 3 reads the alarm set time from the internal memory (S2). Then, it is checked whether or not the alarm time matches the current time with reference to the clock display section 9 (S3). If the alarm time coincides with the current time, the alarm control unit 3 drives the alarm output unit 4 to sound an alarm (S4). As a result, the speaker 4 emits an alarm sound.
[0036]
On the other hand, if the alarm set time does not coincide with the current time in step S3, the alarm control unit 3 reads the advance notification time (S5). Then, it is checked whether the advance notification time matches the current time (S6). If it does not match the current time, the process returns to step S2.
[0037]
Here, the advance notification time will be described. Some people wake up before the set alarm time. In that case, it does not make sense to sound the alarm after waking up, and it is noisy. Therefore, in this case, the set alarm can be canceled. The time at which the set alarm is released is the advance notification time. When the advance notification time comes, the operator can cancel the alarm setting according to a predetermined procedure.
[0038]
When the alarm sounds, and when the advance notification time comes, the information display unit 5 notifies the user of the alarm release method (S7). The notification of the alarm canceling method can be displayed on the display screen of the information display unit 5, or can be notified by voice from the speaker 8.
[0039]
When the alarm sounds, the operator performs an operation for canceling the alarm according to the sequence displayed on the information display unit 5. Alternatively, the alarm canceling method notification may be notified from the speaker 8 by voice. In that case, an alarm release operation is performed according to the voice guidance.
[0040]
As an example of the alarm release operation, for example, an operation of pressing a button displayed by the color display button 7 can be considered. By doing so, the button cannot be pressed unless the color is recognized, so that the consciousness can be surely awakened. In addition, you may enable it to recognize by sound instead of color. In this case, the button cannot be pressed unless the sound is recognized, so that the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0041]
In this case, it is possible to prevent the alarm from being released unless the button is pressed within the time when the color is displayed. According to this, since the alarm cannot be released unless the button is pressed within the time in which the color is displayed, the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0042]
Also, according to the guidance notified from the information display unit 5, it is possible to prevent the alarm from being released unless the button of the displayed color is pressed. According to this, the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0043]
Here, the color display button 7 is displayed in such a manner that a color identification symbol corresponding to a colored button in a one-to-one correspondence is stored in advance, and a random number is generated for the color identification symbol to be taken out at random. Then, the selected color display button is displayed as a result of the random extraction. Here, if the operation of pressing the button with the color display by the operator is repeated a predetermined number of times, the alarm release operation ends.
[0044]
According to this structure, the alarm cannot be released unless the correct answer rate of the pressing operation of the button pressed at random exceeds a predetermined reference value, so that the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0045]
Further, with this configuration, the color display of the button is randomly displayed and the button is pressed, so that the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0046]
In this case, the alarm cannot be released unless a randomly displayed button is pressed until the display disappears. As a result, the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0047]
Further, the release operation input unit 2 includes a voice recognition function, so that an alarm cannot be released unless a correct answer is made to a voice question by voice.
[0048]
With such a configuration, the alarm cannot be released unless the voice question is answered correctly by the voice, so that the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0049]
In addition, the alarm cancellation notification is performed using a combination of colors or voices, and the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0050]
According to this configuration, the alarm release notification is performed by a combination of colors or sounds, so that the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0051]
In addition, the alarm cancellation notification is made by responding to the question of the color or the voice with a voice, so that the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0052]
According to this configuration, the alarm cancellation notification is made by responding to the question of the color or the voice with a voice, so that the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0053]
In addition, the operation of pressing the button while the color is displayed and the operation of giving a voice notification of the alarm canceling method are combined, so that the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0054]
With this configuration, the operation of pressing the button while the color is displayed and the operation of giving a voice notification of the alarm canceling method are combined, so that the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0055]
In addition, the operation of pressing the button while the color is displayed and the operation of answering the voice question with a correct answer can be combined to reliably awaken the consciousness.
[0056]
With this configuration, the operation of pressing the button while the color is displayed is combined with the operation of answering the voice question with a correct answer, so that the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0057]
In addition, the operation of pressing the button displayed at random and the operation of performing the alarm release operation by voice can be combined to surely awaken the consciousness.
[0058]
According to this configuration, since the operation of pressing the button displayed at random and the operation of performing the alarm release operation by voice are combined, the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0059]
In addition, an operation of pressing a button displayed at random and an operation of answering a voice question with a correct answer can be combined to reliably awaken the consciousness.
[0060]
According to this structure, the operation of pressing the button displayed at random and the operation of answering the voice question with a correct answer are combined, so that the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0061]
In addition, combining the condition of the correct answer rate equal to or more than the reference value as the condition of the alarm cancellation and the notification of the alarm canceling method by voice are combined, so that the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0062]
With this configuration, the condition of the correct answer that is equal to or higher than the reference value is set as the condition for canceling the alarm, and the notification of the alarm canceling method is performed by voice.
You can surely wake up your consciousness.
[0063]
The question by voice asks for current month and date information. Then, it is recognized whether or not the answer matches the date and time information, and if so, the alarm control unit 3 can cancel the alarm.
[0064]
According to this configuration, since the date and time information is uttered or input from the release operation input unit 2, the consciousness can be surely awakened and the alarm can be released.
[0065]
Returning to the description of FIG. The alarm control unit 3 checks whether the operator's release operation input has been completed (S8). When the release operation input is completed, the alarm control unit 3 checks whether the release operation matches the notified release operation (S9). If they do not match, for example, an input error is displayed on the information display unit 5 (S10), and the process returns to step S8.
[0066]
In step S9, if the release operation input matches the notified release method, the alarm control unit 3 turns on the alarm release instruction (S11). Next, the alarm control unit 3 evaluates the awakening degree (S12; details will be described later). Next, the release procedure message is deleted (S13).
[0067]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the waking degree evaluation operation. This waking degree evaluation operation is performed by the alarm control unit 3. First, the alarm control unit 3 checks whether the alarm sounding instruction is on (S1). If the alarm sounding instruction is on, the sounding start time (A) is stored (S2). Here, as a storage location, for example, a memory or a register attached to the alarm control unit 3 can be used.
[0068]
Next, it is checked whether the release operation has been started (S3). If started, the alarm control unit 3 stores the input operation start time (B) (S4). Next, an operation reaction time (BA) is calculated from the acquired data A and B (S5). The short operation response time means that the time from when the alarm sounds to when the operation is started is short, and is an index of good awakening.
[0069]
Next, when the operation reaction time is calculated, a plurality of operation reaction times already stored in the storage unit are read out, an average C is obtained by adding the operation reaction time together with the current operation reaction time, and stored (S6). Next, the alarm control section 3 turns off the alarm sounding instruction (S7). Thereby, the alarm control unit 3 turns off the alarm output unit 4 and stops the sounding of the alarm.
[0070]
With this configuration, the operation response time of the operator can be measured using the response time from the alarm sounding start time to the release operation start time.
[0071]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing another example of the waking degree evaluation operation. The alarm control unit 3 turns on the alarm sounding instruction (S1). The time at this time is D. The alarm sounds according to the alarm sounding instruction. The operator cancels the alarm according to the alarm canceling procedure (S2). Then, when the alarm is released, the time at that time is stored as E (S3).
[0072]
The alarm control unit 3 calculates an alarm sounding time (ED) from the above times D and E (S4). When the alarm ringing time is determined, a plurality of ringing times already stored in the storage unit are read out, an average F is added to the ringing time and the average is stored (S5).
[0073]
Next, an awakening degree evaluation value is calculated from the average C of operation response times and the average F of ringing times obtained in the sequence shown in FIG. 4 (S6). Here, the awakening degree evaluation can be calculated using an existing technique. When the waking degree evaluation calculation is completed, the alarm control unit 3 turns off the alarm release instruction (S7).
[0074]
In this way, the operation response time of the operator can be measured using the ringing time, and by using the awakening degree evaluation, an alarm clearing method that is difficult for a person who is not awakened can be implemented, thereby increasing the consciousness. Can be surely awakened and the alarm can be released.
[0075]
In addition, the quality of waking up can be determined by the combination of the average value of the alarm sounding time and the alarm sounding start time and the release operation start time. By doing so, the consciousness can be surely awakened.
[0076]
Also, whether the wake-up is good or bad can be determined by measuring the time from the alarm canceling operation start time to the ringing canceling time. In this way, the quality of waking can be measured.
[0077]
Also, the determination of good or bad awakening can be made by combining the average value of the alarm sounding time and the time from the alarm canceling operation start time to the sound canceling time. In this way, it is possible to determine whether waking is good or not.
[0078]
Further, the notification timing of the alarm release method by the color display is performed at an intermediate point time between the alarm setting time and the alarm setting time, or at a time obtained by subtracting a certain time from the alarm setting time. With this configuration, the notification time of the alarm canceling method can be set at an optimum time.
[0079]
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the release method notification function processing. First, the alarm control unit 3 reads an average wake-up time from the wake-up evaluation table 10 (S1). The awakening evaluation table 10 includes an identification code, a measurement time, a cumulative time, and an average time, as shown in the figure. Upon reading the wake-up evaluation time, the alarm control unit 3 obtains the wake-up level from the wake-up evaluation time and writes the wake-up level in the wake-up evaluation level table 11 (S2).
[0080]
The wake-up evaluation level table 11 includes a ringing time, a level, and a release notification time. For example, when the ringing time is less than 15 seconds, the level is level 1, the release operation is fast, and the awakening degree is high. In this case, the release notification time is set 30 minutes before the start of the sound. On the other hand, when the ringing time is 31 seconds or longer, the release operation is slow and the awakening degree is low. In this case, there is no point in setting the release notification time, so the release notification time is the time when the sound starts.
[0081]
Next, a release method is randomly extracted from the evaluated level table 11 (S3). A release method table 12 stores release methods at random. The cancellation method is stored at random corresponding to level 1 to level 3. The release method table 12 is a table in which random numbers are generated and release methods are randomly assigned. Note that the level 3 method is more difficult to unlock than the level 1 method. As a result, even a person who is not awake can be surely awakened.
[0082]
