  Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, a hearing aid adjustment apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The block diagram in the hearing aid adjustment of the 1st Embodiment of this invention is shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 1, 101 is a hearing aid, 102 is an adjustment unit, 103 is a communication unit, 104 is a hearing aid adjustment device, and these are configuration diagrams of the hearing aid adjustment system.

  The hearing aid 101 is a digital hearing aid that can be adjusted by a personal computer or the like. An adjustment unit 102 can be connected to one or both ears of the hearing aid 101, has a communication function, and can send and receive data to and from the communication unit 103 (for example, USB Bluetooth). The hearing aid adjustment device 104 connected to the communication unit 103 is mainly provided with an input means, a storage means, and a display means for a portable terminal such as a personal computer or a PDA, and includes an application for adjusting the hearing aid. The device can be used to adjust the hearing aid 101.

  FIG. 2 is a hardware configuration diagram of a hearing aid adjustment apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The outline of each function will be described below.

  The hearing aid adjustment device 104 that adjusts the hearing aid 101 includes an input unit 201. This input means is, for example, a keyboard or mouse as used in a personal computer, and can input commands such as input of characters and mouse clicks. As described above, the hearing aid adjusting apparatus 104 has an application for adjusting the hearing aid installed therein. The application menu includes contents for listening to the hearing aid, contents for hearing input function, hearing aid adjustment function, customer management and the like. There is a structure in which the input means 201 can be operated to transition to each screen.

  This application is provided with a function for counting the number of times of movement to each screen transition, and information on the screen transitioned to the application log file is recorded in the storage means 205 in a format like the log file 401 of FIG. To go. Here, since it is natural to hold the data after the parameter change, the operation history information before and after the operation can be stored.

  In addition, this application has a function of extracting log information of the storage unit 205, and by inputting a specific command using the input unit 201, it matches the command information a recorded in the information storage unit 202. It is discriminated by the discriminating means 203 whether or not it is. If they match, the control means 204 informs the extraction means 206 that the data is to be extracted, and the extraction means 206 extracts the number of transitions to each screen stored in the storage means 205 and the number-of-activations information b. .

  Finally, the log information as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed by display means 207 such as a personal computer display (shown in FIG. 2).

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart in the control of the hearing aid adjustment apparatus, and shows the operation in FIG. 2 in a flowchart format.

  First, a hearing aid adjustment software application is activated (S01 in FIG. 3). At that time, the activation number information is stored in the storage unit 205 (S03 in FIG. 3). In addition, after the activation, the storage means 205 also stores information on the number of screen transitions that have been made for page transitions (S02 in FIG. 3) such as hearing input function, hearing aid adjustment function, customer management, etc. (S03 in FIG. 3). Further, as described above, the log file is stored in a format like the log file 401 in FIG.

  When it is desired to know the log information, a certain command is input (S04 in FIG. 3). As an example of this command, a login screen 501 (a screen after login may be used) as shown in FIG. Click the circles at the four corners of this screen with the mouse. The order of clicking the four corners is not specified. If the command is invalid (in this case, it is not clicked well in the four corners), no action is taken to display the log, and the state before the click is kept. If the command is appropriate (here, clicked on the four corner circles), the number of activations and log information are extracted from the storage means 205 using the extraction means 206 (S05 in FIG. 3).

  Thereafter, the log information is displayed by the display means 207 (S06 in FIG. 3), and a log display screen 601 which is log information as shown in FIG. 6 is shown.

  According to the hearing aid adjustment device 104 of the first embodiment of the present invention, a developer or the like can be provided by storing the storage unit 205 that stores a log for counting the number of activations and the number of movements of each screen transition. By entering specific commands, it is possible to grasp the usage status of each screen and function, which can be used to improve (delete) unused functions and improve frequently used functions in the hearing aid adjustment menu. The hearing aid adjustment device 104 can be provided. As an example, the activation information and the browsing information are described here as the number of activations and the number of browsing, but may be information such as the number of clicks, the browsing time, and a progress bar.

  The computer may function as all or part of the hearing aid adjustment apparatus of the present embodiment. And since it is a program, a part or all of the hearing aid adjustment apparatus of this invention can be easily implement | achieved using a general purpose computer or a server. Also, program distribution and installation can be simplified by recording on a recording medium or distributing a program using a communication line.

  As described above, the hearing aid adjustment device according to the present invention implements a statistical log that can grasp the usage status of the application in the application, and effectively uses this statistical count, thereby improving the functions that are not used in the hearing aid adjustment menu. It has an effect that can be utilized for (deletion) and improvement of frequently used functions, and is useful as a hearing aid adjustment device.
