Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus having a logbook creation function for diving.

  Diving is usually counted as one or two as a pair of diving and levitation. The diver keeps a record called a diving log for each dive. Logs are recorded and stored by entering various items related to diving in a notebook called a dedicated logbook.

  The log book is a diving memorial for divers. In addition to the essential items for diving logs such as diving date, diving duration, diving point, maximum depth, transparency, temperature, weather, etc., you can also see the underwater creatures and feelings encountered. I'll also add notes and attach photos taken at that time. In addition, logbooks have, for example, a documentary form to prove the diving experience necessary for a leisure diver to obtain a higher level qualification, and the accompanying divers can sign each other's diving logs. Is supposed to do. Furthermore, for a diver with a very high scuba diving frequency, such as a professional diver, each diving log accumulated in the log book is a basis for calculating residual nitrogen accumulated in the body. For this reason, it is necessary to record the diving log very accurately to prevent decompression sickness.

  The following Patent Document 1 describes a diving computer that is carried by a diver and generates a diving log having a pressure sensor and a clock function, and outputs information obtained by adding diver identification information to the diving log. Are listed.

JP 2008-269451 A

  As described above, diving robbooks have various uses and aspects. If this log book is to be created by a single dive computer, the dive computer becomes extremely expensive. In reality, it can be said that it is almost impossible in consideration of memory capacity, battery capacity, waterproof / waterproof performance, and the like. It is also difficult to mount a display that can comfortably browse the contents of the Rob Book.

  Of course, it is also conceivable to connect the diving computer to a personal computer (PC), transfer the diving log to the PC, and create the diving log on the PC. However, even notebook PCs are too large to carry along with other scuba diving equipment to take to a diving site, and battery life is also short. Even if these issues are ignored, there is still a problem of improving the credibility of logs. For example, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, even if a diver can be identified, there is no guarantee that the date and time of the internal clock of the diving computer is accurate. Since the date and time may remain reset after replacing the battery, the possibility that the date and time recorded in the diving log is inaccurate cannot be completely excluded.

  Therefore, the present invention creates and records a diving log having various kinds of information and extremely high credibility for every diving opportunity, and also stores the record to create a log book. To provide an apparatus.

In the following, it is assumed that the diving computer 100 and the mobile phone 1 communicate with each other as an external information processing apparatus.

=== Record of diving log ==
The diving computer 100 has the above-described configuration, and has a diving log creation function and a function for outputting the created log to the mobile phone 1. Here, the diving log creation function will be described. The diving computer 100 starts to create a diving log when there is a predetermined user input. The MPU 120 monitors the water pressure data from the pressure sensor 129 starting from the time when the user input is received, and when the water pressure data corresponding to a predetermined water depth is input, the data input time is started to record the diving log. The date and time of the time is recorded as the time, and the subsequent water depth is recorded every predetermined sampling period. The user finishes diving and ascends to the sea, performs log recording end operation, and at the time of the operation input, the MPU 120 determines that the diver is in the atmosphere based on the water pressure data and the water detection data. In such a case, the MUP 120 associates the water depth data up to the time when it becomes shallower than the predetermined depth when ascending with the time series, and the time series change of the water depth, the maximum depth and the average depth based on the time series change, and the start of recording of the diving log Information such as date and time, continued dive time, etc. is created in a file of a predetermined format. At this time, an appropriate file name such as the recording start date and time of the diving log is automatically generated, and the file (log file) is stored in the internal nonvolatile memory 134.

  FIG. 6 illustrates the data structure of the log file 50a created by the diving computer. The log file 50a includes a number 51, a file name 52, a file creation date 53, and a diving log 60. A plurality of log files 50a can be stored in the nonvolatile memory. Number 51 corresponds to the order of creation of the log files 50a stored in the nonvolatile memory 134. In the diving computer 100, the MPU 120 is the LCD 104. When displaying the diving log 60 in the log file 50a, the number 51 is displayed so that each file 50a can be identified. Further, when the log file 50a with a certain number 51 is deleted from the nonvolatile memory 134, the subsequent numbers are incremented. The diving log 60 includes a diving start date and time 61, a diving time 62, a maximum depth 63, an average depth 64, and time series data 65 of the depth measured by an internal clock of the diving computer 100.

  As described above, the telephone control unit 10 of the mobile phone 1 and the MPU 120 of the diving computer 100 communicate with each other via the communication IF (28, 137). The mobile phone 1 acquires the log file created by the diving computer 100 through the communication, edits the log file, and further accumulates the edited log file in the log book.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of connection between the diving computer 100 and the mobile phone 1. The diving computer 100 is connected to the cradle 140, and the cradle 140 and the mobile phone 1 are connected to each other via a cable 142 having connectors (141, 143) adapted to respective communication IFs at both ends. Further, the mobile phone 1 receives a GPS signal 151 from the GPS satellite 150. Thereby, the telephone control unit 10 of the mobile phone 1 can communicate with the MPU 120 of the diving computer 100 while receiving the GPS signal 151.

  Below, the diver arrives at the diving spot on the ship, leaves the mobile phone 1 on the ship, carries the diving computer 100, performs diving, returns to the ship, and then records the diving log recorded after arriving at the diving spot. Is assumed to be edited on the mobile phone 1 side and stored in a log book. Under this assumption, the mobile phone 1 acquires a diving log from the diving computer 100 and edits the diving log, and some examples are given, and the present invention is based on these examples. Will be explained.

=== First Embodiment ===
In the first embodiment of the present invention, the mobile phone 1 adds position information based on GPS signals and accurate date and time information to a diving log. The information added to the log is information (notification information) that proves the date and place where the log was recorded, and can be information that ensures the authenticity of the diving log. For example, if the date / time is night when diving is not possible due to qualifications, or if the location information is a land where diving is not possible or a highland lake with danger, qualification cannot be permitted.

  On the other hand, the notary information is information when the user searches the diving log based on the date and location. Or it becomes information for confirming the recording date and time or the place when the user browses the diving log. That is, the notary information also serves as information for providing a user with a comfortable diving log use environment.

<Edit diving log>
FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of the diving log editing process in the first embodiment. The diving computer 100 creates one log file 50a for every opportunity to start and end the recording of diving logs, and stores the log file 50a in the internal nonvolatile memory 134. When the user connects the mobile phone 1 and the diving computer 100 and performs an operation of starting a logbook creation program on the mobile phone 1 side (s1), the telephone control unit 10 on the mobile phone 1 side and the diving computer 100 side are operated. The MPU 120 communicates via both communication IFs (28, 137), and the process proceeds to a procedure for establishing a communication link (s2). If the communication partners are mutually confirmed by exchanging identification information or the like, a link is established. Then, the telephone control unit 10 proceeds to a process for receiving the log file 50a from the diving computer 1.

  Since the diving computer 1 can store a plurality of log files 50a by itself, the user can save the log file 50a for each diving opportunity consisting of a set of diving and levitation. In some cases, after a single dive, the next dive may be started as it is after a break for exhausting the body nitrogen. That is, a log file 50a that has not been transmitted to the mobile phone 1 may be stored on the diving computer 100 side. Corresponding to such a case, in the present embodiment, first, the telephone control unit 20 requests the MPU 120 for a list of the log file 50a and returns it (s3, s4). The telephone control unit 10 compares the file name 52 of the original log file included in the edited log file stored in the log book with the file name 52 in the list, and returns the returned list. For each file 50a, it is searched whether there is a new log file 50a (s5). If there is a new log file 50a in the list, it receives a GPS signal, analyzes the received signal, calculates a standard date and time, calibrates its own internal clock, and calculates position information (s6 → s7- s9).

  Then, the diving computer 100 is requested for a new log file 50a (s10). If there are a plurality of log files 50a, the oldest log file 50a among the new log files 50a is requested. The diving computer 100 returns the requested file 50a (s11).

  When the new log file 50a is transmitted, the telephone control unit 100 appends the calculated standard date and time and position information (longitude, latitude, altitude) to the log file 50a as notarized information (s12). Generate. In addition, an index necessary for database search such as date and position information is generated in the log file and stored in the log book (s13).

  If the telephone control unit 10 edits all the new log files 50a stored in the diving computer 100 in this way and stores them in the log book, the telephone control unit 10 notifies the diving computer 100 to that effect, and the mobile phone 1 The diving computer 100 proceeds to the procedure for disconnecting the communication link and disconnects the link (s14 → s15). The cellular phone 1 and the diving computer 100 display and output the progress of this series of communication and information processing in a timely manner, so that the user can check the communication state and the information processing state. Note that the link disconnection is forcibly performed by the user confirming that all the new log files 50a have been edited and added to the log book, and then disconnecting the connectors (41, 43) of the connection cable 42. You may make it cut | disconnect.

  FIG. 9 illustrates the data structure of the log file 50b after editing. The log book may be an upper layer folder including a large number of log files 50a, or may be a file obtained by merging a large number of log files. In the file 50b, in addition to the contents of the log file 50a generated by the diving computer 100 (number 51, file name 52, file creation date and time 53, diving log 60), standard date and position information are provided as notarized information 70. It is appended. In this example, a new number 73 and a new file name 74 are generated and added to the original log file 50a together with notarization information.

<Calibration of date and time>
Divers can consider diving overseas as well as their own country. In addition, the current mobile phone can be used overseas by roaming service, and there is a possibility that the mobile phone used in the home country is carried locally. Therefore, the mobile phone 1 may store the correspondence between the time zone and the longitude, and the standard date and time 71 described in the notary information 70 may be the local date and time. Further, assuming that the date and time of the internal clock of the diving computer 100 is still the home country, the diving date and time (FIG. 6, reference numeral 61) included in the diving log 60 and the date and time are included in the edited log file 50b. You may make it write together with the date which 61 was converted into the local thing. As a result, the date and time of the diving log 60 recorded by the diving computer 100 was not simply set to the local date and time, or was it created at a date and time different from the time when the diving log 60 was edited. You can get a basis for judging. Unnecessary credibility deterioration of the diving log 60 can be prevented.

<Private use of log book>
The log file 50b stored in the log book can be called up and displayed on the LCD 14 in a timely manner by a predetermined user input. Further, it may be transferred to an external device other than the diving computer 100 connected via the external communication IF 29 and used for an appropriate purpose. For example, if the external device is a personal computer (PC), the diving log 60 is printed out, the feeling at the time of diving is added, or the actual diving point is recorded on the world map using the position information. Then, more advanced editing work may be performed on the PC. Or you can post your diving log on a blog on the Internet.

  In addition, divers who frequently travel between overseas and domestic use the diving logs 60 recorded at various local times in various locations based on the standard date and time 71 and location information 72 added to the log file 50a. The standard date and time and the date and time of your home country can be unified and managed. Thereby, for example, the interval between each diving opportunity can be calculated accurately, and diver health management such as decompression sickness prevention can be supported. The application program that manages the date and time in a unified manner may be provided as a function of the log book program in the mobile phone 1 or a dedicated program, or processes the log book transferred from the mobile phone 1. It may be mounted on an external device.

<About notary information>
The log file 50b edited by the mobile phone 1 has notary information 70 appended thereto. For example, when a diver intends to obtain an advanced qualification, when a log book is submitted to a qualifying organization, a document is conventionally used. The log book exchanged in (1) can be sent online using an attached file of an e-mail or form data to a Web page published by a qualifying organization. In addition, it can be expected that the notary information is replaced with a log signature. Thereby, it is possible to reduce complicated qualification work. Of course, if there is a dangerous diving record such as insufficient decompression diving, it is possible to prevent inadvertently giving an advanced qualification to an immature diver.

  As a matter of course, the log file edited by the mobile phone can be evidence for obtaining a diving certificate called a C card (Certification Card). As is well known, scuba diving requires a C-card to perform scuba diving, and if you do not have this certification, you can effectively purchase or borrow scuba diving equipment. I can't.

  This certificate exists for each diving guidance organization, and a person who wants to obtain a certification chooses an appropriate guidance organization and takes a course according to a predetermined curriculum prescribed by that organization. In general, a guidance organization entrusts a diving shop or sports club with a partnership to hold a class, and the class organizer provides personal information (name, age, gender, etc.) and details of the course. Make a written certificate and send it to the guidance organization. If there is no error in the description of the certificate, the guidance organization will issue a certificate.

  In the certificate, it is necessary to describe the diving log at the time of practical training that performed scuba diving in the ocean, and conventionally, the accompanying instructor measured the depth of the student at the time of practical training, and the depth etc. after the practical training It was written in the certificate as a diving log. Therefore, the diving computer 100 to which the identification information unique to the student is assigned is carried, and the log book program of the mobile phone 1 adds the identification information of the diving computer 100 to the original log file 50a as notary information. Make up. Immediately after the practical training, the log file 50a is transferred from the diving computer 100 of each student to the mobile phone 1 for editing on the ship, and the edited log file is attached to the e-mail or form data as a guidance organization or training course.

For this reason, it is possible to save the labor for issuing C cards, and for the trainee, it can be expected to obtain C cards in a short time.

  Since notary information is used as evidence and proof in diving, this notarized information is, of course, used for viewing and use by users, but for editing logbook programs and diving logs. It is impossible to tamper with a program installed on a PC.

=== Second Embodiment ===
There is weather in the information that cannot be recorded by the diving computer 100 and is always written in the written log book. The second embodiment is a portable information processing apparatus that adds weather information to the diving log 60 recorded by the diving computer 100. In the second embodiment, the mobile information processing apparatus is the mobile phone 1 described above.

  In the second embodiment, the log book program installed in the mobile phone 1 is configured to be linked with the browser function which is the basic function of the mobile phone 1. Further, it is assumed that a predetermined URL is stored in the external storage unit 28 as data used by the logbook program.

  FIG. 10 shows a flowchart of the diving log editing process in the second embodiment. In the present embodiment, after receiving the log file 50a from the diving computer 100, the process from receiving the GPS signal to acquiring the position information to be added to the log file 50a (FIG. 8: s1 to s11) is the first. This is the same as the embodiment.

  First, the internal clock 20t is calibrated with the standard date and time calculated by analyzing the received GPS signal, and the position information is calculated and stored. The telephone control unit 10 starts the browser, adds the date and time of the internal clock and the stored location information as arguments to the stored URL, and the communication control unit sets the URL with the argument as an HTTP request. Transmit (s22).

  The URL stored in the cellular phone 1 identifies a predetermined program such as CGI installed in the mobile communication network 30 or a predetermined Web server (32, 42) on the Internet 40. When the Web server (32, 42) executes this program, it accesses the weather information database 80 that stores the current and past predetermined period of climate information (weather, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind direction, wind speed, etc.). The database 80 is inquired of the longitude and latitude sent from the browser as arguments and the date and time information at the position, and the weather information at the date and time closest to the position is returned. ing.

  The HTTP request transmitted by the cellular phone 1 is delivered to a predetermined Web server 32 of the mobile communication network 30 or a predetermined Web server 42 on the Internet 40 connected via the gateway 35, and the Web server (32, 42). ) Passes an argument added to the ULR to a predetermined program installed in itself. Then, by executing this program, the Web server (32, 42) accesses the weather information database 80, acquires the relevant weather information, and returns an HTTP response including the weather information to the browser of the mobile phone 1.

  The telephone control unit 10 passes the weather information data received via the browser to the log book program, and the weather information is converted into the log file together with the standard date and time and position information as notarized information of the log file by the log book program. It is appended. Then, the log file is added to the log book.

  When the log book program displays and outputs the log file, the weather information described in a predetermined data format is displayed with characters and symbols such as “sunny” and “◯”. Also, the temperature and humidity are displayed as “23 ° C.”, “54%”, and the like.

<Meteorological information as notarized information>
As described above, in the second embodiment, weather information is also added to the log file as notarized information. In the first embodiment, the authenticity of the diving log is secured by the date and position of the diving. In the second embodiment, by further adding weather information to the notary information, it is possible to obtain higher credibility by proving whether or not the weather was actually diving. Alternatively, diving in unsuitable diving can be considered a dangerous act, and the qualifying issuer should give the diver more advanced qualifications based on the weather information appended to the diving log. It is possible to obtain a standard for judging whether or not. Also, divers can add accurate weather information that can't be tampered with to the diving log, so if you want to get advanced qualifications, you can choose the weather and try safer diving. Therefore, it can be expected to prevent accidents.

=== Other Embodiments ===
<Attaching image data>
Most of the current mobile phones including the mobile phone 1 shown as the embodiment of the present invention have a digital camera function. In the log book, there are many divers who attach (or attach) photographs taken before or after diving to the diving log as a memorial during diving, so diving still image or video image data taken with the mobile phone 1 You may make it attach to a log.

  Specifically, when the telephone control unit 10 obtains the log file 50a from the diving computer 100, a message that a photograph can be attached is displayed on the LCD 14, and if a photograph is taken at that time, the photograph is taken. The image data is attached to the log file 50 b by associating the image data with the edited log file 50 b and storing it in the external storage unit 28. Alternatively, the edited log file 50b is further merged with the image data to generate a log file with image data, which is attached by storing it. As described above, in many cases, image data can be generated only by the mobile phone 1 without preparing a separate digital camera, and the image data can be easily attached to a log file. If the image data is already stored in the external storage unit 38, the log file may be edited after the user selects the image data.

  FIG. 11 illustrates a screen configuration when the contents of the diving log are displayed and output on the LCD 14 together with the image data in the mobile phone 1. The display screen 200 includes information 201 for identifying a specific log file 50b in the log book, image data 202, standard date and time 203 and position information 204 in notary information, weather information 205, and diving log information. The contents include date and time 206 of diving, maximum depth and average depth 207, time-series information 208 of graphed depth, and the like.
