Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stress confirming apparatus using a cellular phone which facilitates the confirmation of a state of stress using a familiar apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: The stress confirming apparatus using the cellular phone is constituted that a body temperature sensor to sense the body temperature, a means to obtain a divisional output of a mental state divided into two or more divisions corresponding to the value of the body temperature of an output of the above sensor, and a means to perform a display corresponding to the above divisional output are disposed in the cellular phone, wherein the above divisional output of the mental state is stored in the table data and transmitted by a mail function. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention is a stress confirmation device using a mobile phone that can check the stress by utilizing the fact that the body temperature fluctuates depending on the stress state and that does not require the purchase of a special instrument by using a familiar mobile phone. About.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an apparatus that numerically measures a stress state is known. The user who uses this apparatus recognizes the measured numerical value and self-controls to be consciously relaxed.

  Means for numerically measuring the stress state include electroencephalogram measurement, skin electrical resistance measurement, skin thermometer, blood pressure monitor, and the like. All of these measuring means are used by specialist doctors for treatment and are expensive. A portable type has also been devised, but the user has increased the time and effort to carry it, so it can be forgotten and has not been used effectively.

  As described above, the conventional measuring means is used by a specialized doctor for treatment and is expensive. Moreover, if it is a portable type, there will be more time for the user to carry around, and it may be forgotten, and effective use has not been achieved.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a stress confirmation device using a mobile phone that can easily confirm a stress state using a familiar device.

  According to the present invention, the cellular phone is provided with a body temperature sensor for detecting body temperature, and according to the output of the body temperature sensor, a means for displaying a plurality of mental states according to a body temperature value is provided. Features.

  According to the above means, it is possible to confirm stress with a very familiar mobile phone, and the determination means can be easily provided as a service application for the mobile phone, so that it can be implemented effectively at low cost.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. A sensor 200 is provided in the main body of the mobile phone 100. In order to switch to the stress confirmation mode, for example, the menu button 101 is pressed, the cursor is moved to the cursor button 102 at the display position “stress confirmation”, and the button 101 is depressed. As a result, the display unit 300 can display “TRANS”, “RELAX”, “CALM”, “TENSE”, and “STRESS”.

  Here, by pressing a finger against the sensor 200, any one of the above-mentioned “TRANS”, “RELAX”, “CALM”, “TENSE”, “STRESS” is marked. For example, the color of any area is colored red. Thus, when “TRANS” is colored, it is in the transformer state, when “RELAX” is colored, it is in a relaxed state, when “CALM” is colored, it is in a calm state, “TENSE” When the color is colored, it can be judged that the state is in tension, and when “STRESS” is colored, the state is stressed.

  FIG. 2 shows functional blocks of the stress confirmation apparatus. The output of the sensor 200 is input to the measurement circuit 201. The output of the measurement circuit 201 is input to the mental state classification table 202. In the mental state classification table 202, one of the “TRANS”, “RELAX”, “CALM”, “TENSE”, and “STRESS” display outputs is selected according to the sensor output value, and this display output is displayed on the display unit. 300 is supplied. In FIG. 2, it is described that a hard block is configured, but it goes without saying that this function (measurement circuit and mental state classification table) may be realized by software. For example, "TRANS" and "RELAX" have a body temperature of 34 degrees or higher, "CALM" has a temperature of 32 to 34 degrees, "TENSE" has a temperature of 32 to 30 degrees, and "STRESS" has a standard of 30 degrees or less.

  Further, the present invention may be configured such that the output of the mental state classification table can be transferred by mail in addition to the above embodiment. For example, it may be set to automatically forward to the mail address of the user's home doctor. Thereby, for example, when the mental state is getting worse, it is possible to receive advice by telephone by the family doctor.
