Description

  The present invention relates to a centralized thinking support apparatus, system, method, and program, and more particularly to a technique for creating a user's personal thought space by isolating a user's vision from the surrounding environment.

  In recent years, the office environment in companies has changed, and along with the progress of IT technology, the open office environment in which employees do not have a specific desk and sit at any desk and work is rapidly spreading. ing. In such an open office environment, it is easy to obscure the line between a person's workspace and a non-personal space that contains miscellaneous information that the person originally does not need, and the person concentrates on a specific theme. It is relatively difficult to create time and space for thinking. The miscellaneous information is mainly input through the visual and auditory senses, and the auditory sense can be blocked by wearing ear plugs or headphones. It is possible to some extent.

  The prior art shown below creates an environment where the spirit can be concentrated by providing a barrier that can be folded into the pillow and limits the field of view and upper side of the user.

JP-A-6-130891

  In the above prior art, by creating a tunnel-like field of view by restricting the side and upper fields of view, we have created an environment where the spirit can be concentrated by shielding the miscellaneous information entering the vision and also shielding the noise. Even if miscellaneous information is shielded, human thoughts are likely to be distracted, and it is difficult to concentrate on specific themes. In other words, even if a shield such as the one above is placed close to the face, concentration is interrupted by an object or video that has entered a limited field of view, and thinking about a theme that is different from the theme that should originally be considered That's where I experience everyday.

  An object of the present invention is to obtain an apparatus, a system, and the like that can provide a user with an environment in which the user can intensively think about a specific theme at an arbitrary time and an arbitrary place.

  The present invention provides a field-of-view restriction unit that limits a user's field of view to a certain range, a communication unit that transmits and receives data to and from an external device, and a thought theme for each user that is received from the external device via the communication unit. Output means for displaying data in the predetermined range; and input means for inputting response data of the user with respect to the thought theme data and transmitting the data to the external device via the communication means.

  In the present invention, in addition to providing a surrounding environment or a personal environment for performing concentrated thinking by restricting the user's visual field, the user can display thought theme data for each user within the limited visual field. To present. The user visually recognizes the thinking theme data displayed in the field of view and can concentrate on thinking about the theme without being bothered by miscellaneous information. The present invention not only creates a physical thinking space, but also creates a logical or mental thinking space by actively presenting the thinking theme for each user, that is, the user's interest. Therefore, the synergistic effect of these physical space and logical space can support and promote user's intensive thinking.

  In the present invention, by restricting not only the visual field but also the user's hearing and blocking noise, concentrated thinking can be supported more effectively.

  According to the present invention, a user can easily create a space for performing concentrated thinking at any time and anywhere.

  Therefore, for example, even in an open office or the like, by using the apparatus and system of the present invention, it is possible to concentrate on one's own thoughts, and improvement in work efficiency can be expected.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a conceptual configuration diagram of a centralized thinking support system according to the present embodiment. The centralized thinking support system includes an external server 1 and a terminal device 2 that are connected to each other via a wired or wireless communication network 100 and can transmit and receive data.

  The external server 1 is a server computer provided separately from the terminal device 2 and includes a thinking theme generation unit 10. The thinking theme generation means 10 generates thinking theme data for each user who uses the terminal device 2, and transmits it to the terminal device 2 via the communication network 100. The thought theme data for each user is selected from keywords or demographic attributes that specify demographic attributes such as the user's age and gender, and the user's occupation or preference. Generate keywords and other information related to the selected thought theme as thought theme data. As the thinking theme for each user, for example, the thinking theme classified demographically in advance is stored in a database, and is used by using data (ID data) specifying the user transmitted from the terminal device 2. It is obtained by searching the database for thought themes that match the person.

  The communication network 100 may be a public line such as the Internet or a dedicated line such as a LAN. The external server 1 and the terminal device 2 may be physically close to each other, or may be separated from a remote place. The data transmission / reception range of the communication network 100 may be limited to a certain range. In one arrangement form, the external server 1 and the terminal device 2 are both arranged in a room in the office, and the external server 1 and the terminal device 2 are connected by a wireless LAN.

  The terminal device 2 is portable or worn by the user, and is desirably portable so that it can be used anywhere. The terminal device 2 has a function of restricting at least the user's visual field to a certain range by being operated by a user's hand or being worn on the head or face. In other words, the terminal device 2 has a visual field limiting unit 12. A typical example of the visual field limiting means 12 is glasses worn on the user's face. By making the portion corresponding to the lens portion of the glasses non-transparent, the user's field of view is limited to a certain range. Note that “at least limit the user's visual field” is intended to allow the user's hearing (noise) to be limited in addition to the visual field. The visual field restriction unit 12 includes a user instruction unit 14, a voice input unit 16, a noise blocking unit 18, a communication unit 20, and an output unit 22. In the figure, the user instruction means 14 and the like are included in the visual field restriction means 12, but these may exist separately in the terminal device 2.

  The user instruction means 14 is composed of operation buttons or the like installed at predetermined parts of the visual field restriction means 12, and communicates various control commands by user operation in addition to starting and ending when the terminal device 2 is turned on / off. The data is transmitted to the external server 1 via the network 100. The condition that the user instruction means 14 should have is that the user's operation is easy and reliable, that the user can easily operate by hand, or that the user can easily use any of the five senses. It is preferable to be in a position where it can be operated easily. This is because if the user takes time to operate the user instruction means 14, the user's thought is interrupted, so that the user instruction means 14 does not become a new miscellaneous information source for the user. .

  The voice input means 16 is a device for inputting a concept, an idea, etc. recalled during thinking by a user as a voice memo, and is composed of a microphone. The purpose of the voice memo is to prevent the user's thinking from being interrupted by the action of taking the memo.

  The noise blocking means 18 is for blocking noise input to the user's hearing, and is composed of earphones and headphones, as well as a shield that blocks the periphery of the user's ears as in the prior art. In addition to being integrated into the terminal device 2, the noise blocking means 18 may be replaced with an earphone, a headphone, or an earplug owned by the user. That is, the noise blocking means 18 is not an essential configuration for the terminal device 2.

  The communication unit 20 receives the data transmitted from the external server 1 and transmits the control command instructed by the user instruction unit 14 to the external server 1. The user's voice memo data input from the voice input means 16 is transmitted to the external server 1.

  The output unit 22 displays and outputs the thought theme data transmitted from the external server 1 and received by the communication unit 20 on a predetermined part of the visual field limiting unit 12. Specifically, the keywords and concepts of the thinking theme data are displayed as characters or image information in the visual field range of the user restricted by the visual field restriction means 12. The technology for on-screen display of characters and image information is known, but one example is that a small screen is placed at a position facing the user's eye, and character information and image information are projected and displayed on this screen. In another example, a small thin film display such as a liquid crystal panel or an organic EL panel is formed at a position facing the user's eye, and character information and image information are displayed.

  FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the configuration of the terminal device 2 shown in FIG.

  The communication interface I / F functions as the communication means 20, receives thought theme data from the external server 1, and supplies it to the CPU via the control bus.

  The instruction button functions as the user instruction means 14 and supplies a user operation signal to the CPU.

  The microphone functions as the voice input means 16 and supplies the user's voice memo data to the CPU.

  The display functions as the output means 22 and displays the thinking theme data as characters or images.

  The CPU stores the thinking theme data from the external server 1 in the display RAM, and then displays it on the display as characters or images. Further, when a user inputs a voice memo in response to a character or image displayed on the display, the external server 1 is associated with the thought theme data displayed on the display in association with the voice memo via the communication I / F. Send to. For example, if the user inputs a voice memo when the thinking theme data is displayed as keyword characters, the CPU transmits the voice memo data M to the currently displayed keyword data K in a format to be attached to the external server 1. To do. The external server 1 stores the data transmitted from the terminal device 2 in association with the thought theme data as a concept or idea generated by the user's thought. The stored voice memo data of the user is transmitted to the terminal device 2 according to instructions from the user as appropriate, and is displayed on the display or output by voice. When the user operates the instruction button to start the terminal device 2, the CPU establishes a line with the external server 1 using a predetermined communication protocol, and then reads the user ID data stored in the ROM. To the external server 1 via the communication I / F. The ROM may be a rewritable EPROM. The external server 1 searches the database based on the user ID data transmitted from the terminal device 2, generates thought theme data that matches the user, and transmits it to the terminal device 2.

  The data flow between the external server 1 and the terminal device will be described in detail as follows. That is, first, when the user activates the terminal device 2, an activation signal is transmitted to the external server 1. The external server 1 transmits an ID request signal to the terminal device 2 in response to this activation signal. The CPU of the terminal device 2 reads ID data from the ROM in response to the ID request signal and transmits it to the external server 1. The external server 1 that has received the ID data selects the corresponding thinking theme data from the thinking theme data stored in the database in advance for each of a plurality of users, and further adds the latest information related to the thinking theme data from the Internet or the like. The thinking theme data is created and transmitted to the terminal device 2. Specifically, the external server 1 specifies the age and sex of the user based on the ID data received from the terminal device 2, and selects thought theme data that matches the age and sex. The thinking theme data may be registered in advance in the external server 1 by the user. The external server 1 stores thought theme data for each user ID.

The thought theme data transmitted from the external server 1 is received by the terminal device 2 and displayed on the display. For example, when the thinking theme that matches the user is an environmental problem, the characters “environmental problem” are displayed on the display, and “related information: current ozone layer is ** as data related to the environmental problem. Related information such as “m ² ” is displayed as character data. The user thinks by visually recognizing these themes displayed within the limited visual field, and inputs the recalled concept or idea from the microphone. The CPU transmits the audio data to the external server 1 in association with the “environmental problem” theme. The external server 1 stores the sound data together with the thought theme data in a storage area created for each user.

  When the user operates the instruction button to request a change of the thinking theme, the CPU of the terminal device 2 transmits a change command to the external server 1. The external server 1 that has received the change command selects another thinking theme data that matches the user, adds new information related to the thinking theme data, and creates new thinking theme data to create a terminal device. 2 to send.

  When the user operates the instruction button to request more detailed information of the thought theme data, the CPU of the terminal device 2 transmits a detailed data request command to the external server 1. The external server 1 determines whether there is other information related to the thinking theme data currently transmitted to the terminal device 2 in response to the request command, and transmits to the terminal device 2 if there is other information. .

  When the user operates the instruction button and requests to record the thought theme data currently displayed as important, the CPU of the terminal device 2 transmits a recording command to the external server 1. The external server 1 stores the current thinking theme data in a storage area for each user in response to the recording command. The thought theme data recorded in response to the user's request is a thought theme that the user is interested in, and is therefore used as reference data when generating the next thought theme data to be provided to the user. That is, learning is performed using thought theme data recorded in response to a user request. Learning is a method of classifying thought themes into several categories, adding point data to the categories of thought themes recorded according to the user's request, and adding point data each time they are recorded, etc. It may be executed simply. A category with a high point is determined as a thought theme of interest to the user. It is also preferable to subtract the point data for the category that received the change command from the user. The operation of the terminal device 2 is realized by a program stored in the ROM.

  In the present embodiment, the ID data is transmitted from the terminal device 2 to the external server 1 in order to create thought theme data for each user by the external server 1 and transmit it to the terminal device 2, but the ID data Other data similar to may be used. An example of such data is the user's physical characteristics (biometrics). For example, the iris of the user's eye is acquired and the iris data is used for user identification. When the user wears the terminal device 2 on the face, the user's iris data is acquired by a small camera that captures the user's eyes, and the iris data is transmitted to the external server 1. The external server 1 can identify (or authenticate) a user based on the iris data and create thought theme data specialized for the user.

  FIG. 3 shows a configuration block diagram of the external server 1. The external server 1 includes a user management file, a thought theme database (D / B), related information acquisition means, and user work information management means.

  The user management file holds personal data such as user ID data, user demographic data (age, gender), occupation, career, etc. in a table format. When the user registers a thinking theme in advance, the thinking theme data is also recorded in this management file. The specific configuration of the user management file is arbitrary, but one example is that a record is created for each user, and the user ID, user name, user age, user sex, and usage are recorded as data items for each record. User profession, user history, user registration thinking theme, user point data, user voice memo, etc.

  The thought theme database (D / B) holds thought themes classified according to demographics, occupation, or career. For male engineers aged 30-40, the thinking theme is T1, T2, T3, and for female managers aged 30-40, the thinking theme is t1, t2, t3, etc. The thinking theme may be single or plural. The thought theme may be held in a keyword format, or may be held in an image (still image or moving image) format. The thought theme database is described in, for example, SQL.

  The related information acquisition means acquires the latest information related to the thinking theme via the Internet or the like. The related information is acquired by using the keyword as a search key when the thought theme includes the keyword. The acquired related information is stored in the thinking theme database in association with the thinking theme. For example, the upper limit of the latest information to be acquired may be set to 100.

  The user work information management means executes creation of thought theme data, change of the thought theme, recording, addition / subtraction of point data, etc. in accordance with various control commands from the user. Further, the voice data from the user is stored in the user management file in association with the thinking theme data. Specifically, the related information acquisition means and the user work information management means are constituted by a processor of a server computer.

  FIG. 4 shows an overall process flowchart of the present embodiment. For convenience of explanation, the processing on the external server 1 side and the processing on the terminal device 2 side are shown together.

  When the user carries the terminal device 2 and wears it on the face or the like as needed (S101), the terminal device 2 limits the user's field of view to a certain range (S102). This visual field restriction process depends on the external configuration of the terminal device 2, and when the external appearance of the terminal device 2 is glasses, the user's visual field is simultaneously restricted by wearing the terminal device 2 on the face. The When the terminal device 2 has an earphone, noise is blocked by the user wearing the earphone in his / her ear.

  On the other hand, when the use of the terminal device 2 is started, as described above, the external server 1 generates user-specific thought theme data that matches the user based on the ID data from the terminal device 2 (S103). . The generation of the thought theme data is specifically executed as follows. That is, based on the received ID, the age, sex, occupation, etc. of the user recorded in the user management file are specified, and the thought theme data stored in the thought theme database is searched. Next, the latest information related to the thinking theme data obtained by the search is acquired from the Internet and added to the thinking theme data. The created thinking theme data is transmitted to the terminal device 2 as text or image data (S104).

  The terminal device 2 that has received the thinking theme data displays the thinking theme data on the display (S105). In the physical environment where the field of view is limited and noise is cut off, the user's unique thinking theme is displayed within the field of view, and the user can concentrate on thinking about the displayed thinking theme (S106). ). In other words, not only the physical environment where the user's vision and hearing can be restricted and the physical environment where the user can concentrate can be maintained, but also the thought theme that the user is interested in can be displayed in the field of view in addition to the physical environment. Arouses interest and sustains intensive thinking. In this sense, the system of the present embodiment is based on a synergistic effect between the physical environment (visual and auditory restrictions) and the logical (or mental) environment (presentation of the user's interesting thought theme) for the user. It can be said to support or promote the user's intensive thinking.

  At the time of the user's concentrated thinking, as described above, the user inputs the concept and idea recalled by the thinking theme as a voice memo. The voice memo data is transmitted to and stored in the external server 1 in association with the thinking theme data.

  When the user wants to think about the next theme at the time of concentrated thinking (S107, S108), the user operates the instruction button to transmit a change command to the external server 1. The external server 1 creates the next thinking theme data in response to the change command and transmits it to the terminal device 2 (S109). The terminal device 2 redisplays the next thought theme data received from the external server 1 on the display (S105). By repeating the above processing, the user sequentially displays new thinking themes in the field of view, and sequentially stores the ideas as voice memo data in the external server 1 through thinking.

  When thinking has been completed for all the themes to be considered, or when the process is interrupted, the user operates the instruction button to end the process (S107, S110). At this time, the CPU of the terminal device 2 transmits a completion command to the external server 1, and the external server 1 ends the thought theme data generation processing, voice memo data storage processing, and the like for the user in response to the completion command (S111). ). It may have a so-called resume function for storing thought theme data at the end of processing and transmitting the thought theme data for which processing has been completed to the terminal device 2 again when the same user activates the terminal device 2 next time. .

  As described above, in the present embodiment, an environment in which the user's visual field is limited to a certain range and noise is blocked is created, and the user's attributes or characteristics that are unique to the user, that is, match the user's attributes or characteristics. It is possible to support the user's intensive thinking by displaying the thinking theme that the user is expected to be interested in and allowing the user to visually recognize it. In general, it is known that when a person closes his eyes and concentrates his / her spirit, an α wave is generated in the brain wave, and when the eye is opened, the α wave disappears and a β wave appears. The system of this embodiment virtually creates a state in which a human closes his eyes and generates only the image he wants in his head.

  Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the terminal device 2 in the present embodiment will be exemplified.

  FIG. 5 shows the terminal device 2 having an eyeglass shape in appearance. The lens part of the glasses functions as the field limiting means 12. The user wears the glasses to limit the field of view to a certain range. A button 30 for manual operation by the user is provided on the side surface of the lens portion of the glasses. The button 30 functions as the user instruction means 14. A plurality of buttons 30 may be arranged, and each button 30 corresponds to various control commands such as start, completion, change of the thinking theme, recording of the thinking theme, and input of a voice memo. A single button 30 may be arranged and a plurality of control commands may be input by changing the operation direction of the button 30. For example, activation by a long press operation, rotation of the clockwise direction, change of a thinking theme, and the like. A microphone 32 and an antenna 34 are also arranged in the lens unit. The microphone 32 functions as the voice input unit 16, and the antenna 34 functions as the communication unit 20.

  The control command is basically input by operating the button 30. However, when the external server 1 has a voice recognition function, the control command may be input by voice from the microphone 32. For example, when the user utters “voice memo”, the external server 1 recognizes this voice and shifts to a voice memo recording process. When the user utters “change in thinking theme”, the external server 1 recognizes this sound, creates the next thinking theme data, and transmits it to the terminal device 2.

  Furthermore, an earphone 36 is provided in the frame portion of the glasses, and a user wears the earphone 36 on the ear to block noise. The earphone 36 functions as the noise blocking means 18.

  When the user wears such a spectacle-shaped terminal device 2 and starts the operation, the thinking theme data is received from the external server 1 via the antenna 34. The received thought theme data is displayed on the inner surface of the lens unit, that is, the surface facing the user's eye unit. The figure shows the thinking theme data 200 displayed on the inner surface of the lens unit. The user visually recognizes the thinking theme data 200 and thinks about the theme intensively. When the recalled concept or idea is expressed in words, the words are input from the microphone 32 formed in the lens unit and transmitted to the external server 1 via the antenna 34.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of thought theme data displayed on the inner surface of the lens unit. An environmental problem is selected as a thinking theme, garbage separation is presented as a task, and the current ozone layer amount is presented as related information. Thought themes and issues are data stored in advance in the thought theme database of the external server 1, and the related information is data obtained by acquiring the latest information related to the theme over the Internet. Different users are given different themes and displayed on the inner surface of the lens unit. A user who viewed the thought theme data 200, for example, said, "Are there a scientifically significant correlation between the thickness of the ozone layer and the incidence of skin cancer? Which region of the northern hemisphere has the thinnest ozone layer?" When it is recalled, it is stored in the external server 1 as a voice memo. Since the voice memo is stored in the external server 1 in association with the thought theme data, the next time the thought theme data is transmitted to the terminal device 2, the voice memo data is also transmitted. Of course, the voice memo data may be transmitted to the terminal device 2 and the voice memo may be transmitted in response to a voice memo request command from the user. The voice memo may be transmitted as voice data or converted into character data and transmitted. When transmitted as audio data, the audio data is output from the earphone 36. When transmitted as character data, it is displayed together with the thought theme data on the inner surface of the lens unit. The user can easily reproduce the previous thought and further develop the thought by viewing or listening to these voice memos.

  When the user wants more detailed related information about the current thinking theme data, the user operates the button 30 to request the related information from the external server 1. In response to this request, the external server 1 transmits detailed related information to the terminal device 2 and displays it on the inner surface of the lens unit.

  When it is determined that the current thinking theme data or related information is important, the external server 1 is requested to record the thinking theme data or related information currently displayed by operating the button 30. The external server 1 stores the thought theme data or related information in a file in response to this request.

  In addition to simply blocking noise, specific music may be played from the earphone 36, or a keyword of thought theme data may be output as voice. Music or keyword voice data can also be transmitted from the external server 1.

  FIG. 7 shows a terminal device 2 whose appearance is a telescope or kaleidoscope (hereinafter simply referred to as a telescope) shape. The terminal device 2 is configured to be able to expand and contract in the longitudinal direction by combining a plurality of hollow cylinders (or hollow prisms) having different radii and arranged on concentric axes, and the expansion and contraction operation corresponds to the start and end of activation of the terminal device 2. . An antenna 34 is provided on the side surface of the cylinder, and exchanges data with the external server 1. A microphone 32 and an earphone 36 are also provided on the side surface of the cylinder.

  When the eyepiece of the telescope functions as the visual field limiting means 12 and the user performs an operation of extending the telescope from the initial state, the contact switch provided inside the telescope is turned on and the terminal device 2 is activated. The activation process is as described above, a line is established with the external server 1 by a predetermined protocol, and the user ID data is transmitted to the external server 1. A depression for the user to hold can be formed on the side of the telescope to facilitate its operability, and a fingerprint sensor for reading the user's fingerprint may be provided in the depression. The read fingerprint data is transmitted to the external server 1 as user ID data. The user holds the telescope in his / her hand, wears the earphone 36 on his / her ear, and looks into the telescope from one end. The thinking theme data received from the external server 1 is displayed inside the telescope, more specifically, at the bottom of the telescope, and the user visually recognizes the thinking theme data within a limited field of view.

  When the user changes the thinking theme, a part of the cylinder of the telescope is rotated in a predetermined direction, for example, clockwise (clockwise). The rotation sensor inside the telescope detects this rotation operation, and the CPU transmits a change command to the external server 1. New thinking theme data received from the external server 1 is displayed inside the telescope.

  When the user requests detailed information on the currently displayed thinking theme, the telescope is vibrated up and down. The acceleration sensor or vibration sensor in the telescope detects this vertical vibration, and the CPU transmits a detailed information request command to the external server 1. Detailed information received from the external server 1 is displayed inside the telescope.

  When a thinking theme that the user cares about (a thinking theme considered important) is displayed and the user requests recording, the telescope is vibrated left and right. The acceleration sensor or vibration sensor inside the telescope detects this left-right vibration, and the CPU transmits a recording command to the external server 1. The external server 1 stores the thinking theme data currently being displayed in the user management file in response to the recording command. The thought theme data recorded by the user is used as reference data when selecting a thought theme provided to the user.

  When the user performs an operation of retracting the telescope, the contact switch is turned off, and the process ends. In the present embodiment, a contact switch, an acceleration sensor, a vibration sensor, or the like functions as the user instruction means 14.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to this, A various change is possible.

  For example, in the present embodiment, the terminal device 2 is illustrated as a spectacle shape or a telescope shape, but any shape can be used as long as it can limit the user's field of view. Further examples of such a shape include a binocular shape, a microscope shape, and a helmet shape.
