Description

  The present invention relates to a wristband worn on an arm of an actor who performs a predetermined action with tension, such as a player in a sport such as golf, a player in a concert, a speaker in a lecture, and the like.

For example, in the case of golf, in order to accurately shot a golf ball, it is necessary to swing the golf club without force and rhythmically. After accurately addressing the golf ball, a forward press immediately before the shot is performed. A nice shot is made when the swinging operation such as back swing, top swing, down swing, impact, follow-through, and finish can be executed properly and without stagnation.
However, it is common for players to be quite nervous when they see the first shot that everyone sees and the best score update. And when you're ready to take a shot (address), if you're over-tensioned (although moderate tension is also necessary), it's difficult to perform a smooth golf swing without stagnation, swing elements and balance There is a very high probability that it will collapse and become a miss shot.

  In order to prevent this, it is desirable to strike immediately when you hold it, that is, strike before you get tense, but if you are already overly tense at the addressed stage, once you release the address, take a deep breath It is necessary to relieve tension. However, a player who is seen by a companion player, etc. tries to escape from the situation as soon as possible, and even if he / she is over-tensed, he / she does not notice it or ignores it if he / she notices, This often results in miss shots. Therefore, if you can objectively alarm excessive tension with a wearable device such as a wristband that knows the degree of tension at the stage of addressing, the opportunity to release the address and relax the tension once. This is convenient.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-133867 describes a device that aims to automatically detect a danger according to changes in a person's pulse and blood pressure, automatically transmit the danger, and activate a crime prevention system. However, the content described in Patent Document 1 assumes a case where a violent crime such as burglary is encountered, and includes a risk detection function part, an adjustment control function part, a signal sending function part, a warning function part, and an adjustment control function part. Although there is a description that it is provided, the technical configuration and operation of each part are ambiguous.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a wristband that is attached to the arm of an actor who performs a predetermined action involving tension such as sports, performance, lecture, etc., and notifies an alarm related to the tension of the actor. is there.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a wristband that is attached to the arm of an actor who performs a predetermined action involving tension such as sports, performance, lecture, etc. and notifies an alarm related to the tension of the actor. A pulse blood pressure measuring means for measuring a value of the actor's pulse and / or blood pressure; and a pulse blood pressure storage means for storing the measured value in association with predetermined specific data relating to the degree of tension or the action result; Alarm notification means for notifying an alarm relating to the measured value, and when the first predetermined operation is performed, the value measured by the pulse blood pressure measurement means and the pulse blood pressure storage means The measured value is compared to determine whether or not the measured value exceeds a value corresponding to predetermined specific data. If it is determined that the measured value is exceeded, the alarm notification unit is activated. , When the second operation predetermined is made, and to store certain data and association with the corresponding values which the pulse pressure storage means has measured the second operation.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a wristband that is attached to an arm of an actor who performs a predetermined action accompanied by tension such as sports, performance, or lecture, and notifies an alarm related to the tension of the actor.

  In particular, this wristband is suitable for golf where the non-tension state and the tension state are repeated many times during the round, and alarms that the excessive tension at the time of shot or putting will be released, leading to an increase in score. It also has the effect of preventing heart attacks.

The internal block block diagram of the wristband 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention Swing elements in golf swing Example of stored contents of pulse blood pressure execution result storage unit 15 Operation flowchart of wristband 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, taking as an example a case where a golf player in a round wears the wristband.

FIG. 1 is an example of an internal block configuration of a wristband 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The wristband 1 is a wristband worn on a golfer's arm that swings a golf club, and includes a data processing / control unit 10, a pulse blood pressure measurement unit 11, an acceleration sensor 12, a start operation registration unit 13, a threshold registration unit 14, The pulse blood pressure execution result storage unit 15, the operation unit 16, the display unit 17, and the short-range wireless communication unit 18 are configured.
The data processing / control unit 10 is a unit that performs data processing and arithmetic processing for analyzing fluctuations in acceleration data input from the acceleration sensor 12 and controls each unit constituting the wristband 1.

  The pulse blood pressure measurement unit 11 is activated / stopped by an instruction from the data processing / control unit 10 and measures the blood pressure and pulse of the golfer wearing the wristband 1. The measured blood pressure and pulse are output to the data processing / control unit 10. The data processing / control unit 10 stores the input blood pressure pulse data in the pulse blood pressure execution result storage unit 15 and compares it with the threshold value registered in the threshold value registration unit 14.

  The acceleration sensor 12 is a sensor that measures the acceleration applied to the wristband 1, is activated / stopped by an instruction from the data processing / control unit 10, and the measured time-series acceleration data is a data processing / control unit. 10 is output. When the data processing / control unit 10 analyzes the input acceleration data and detects the start operation (state B in FIG. 2), the data processing / control unit 10 is registered in the blood pressure pulse value and threshold registration unit 14 input immediately before. The threshold value is compared to determine whether it is a level to be alarmed, and if it is a level to be alarmed, the display unit 17 notifies the golfer of the alarm.

  The acceleration data may be vector data having directionality, or scalar data obtained by performing arithmetic processing on three-dimensional vector data of acceleration including each direction component of the orthogonal X axis, Y axis, and Z axis. Also good.

  When starting a golf swing, the start operation registration unit 13 registers data related to time-series acceleration fluctuations corresponding to a start operation for smooth start (forward press, waggle, etc.) as start operation data. It is a means to keep. The starting operation data to be registered is registered in association with a golfer or a golf club. Here, the reason for registering in association with the golf club is that the weight and balance differ depending on the type of golf club, so even if the same golfer performs the same forward press as the start operation, the acceleration fluctuation due to the difference in inertia This is because they may be different. Note that the start motion data to be registered may be the acceleration variation measured by actually mounting the wristband and actually executing the start operation such as forward press or waggle.

  The threshold value registration unit 14 is a means for registering blood pressure and pulse rate threshold values to be notified of an alarm. The blood pressure and pulse rate threshold values registered in the threshold value register 14 may be different for each golfer. The data processing / control unit 10 refers to the threshold value registered in the threshold value registration unit 14 and determines the necessity of alarm notification.

  The pulse blood pressure execution result storage unit 15 is means for storing data relating to the pulse and blood pressure of the person wearing the wristband 1 in association with the degree of tension, the execution result (shot result), and the golfer. In addition, as for the degree of tension and the execution result, the player himself operates the operation unit 16 after the shot, and inputs a value (for example, a five-step evaluation) according to the degree of tension and the quality of the shot result.

  The operation unit 16 is means for inputting various data and operation commands to the wristband 1. As a method for inputting operation data, in addition to a general key input method, a voice command input method for analyzing a voice input from a microphone (not shown) and recognizing a command voice may be used in combination. Further, a predetermined specific action (for example, swinging the arm several times) is registered in association with the operation command, and the specific operation is detected by the acceleration sensor 12 and the operation command is input. Also good.

  The display unit 17 is a means for notifying the operating state of the wristband 1 such as an LED, an LCD, a speaker, and a vibrator, and alarm information to a golfer wearing the wristband 1. When the wristband 1 is used as a general wristwatch, the display unit 17 may also be used as a wristwatch display function.

  The short-range wireless communication unit 18 is a Bluetooth (registered trademark) or NFC (Near Field Radio Communication) system for transferring data to and from an external device (for example, a smart phone) existing in the vicinity of the wristband 1. It is a means to perform short-range wireless communication by the above. Note that the connection between the wristband 1 and the external device may be a wired connection. In addition, some or all of the data processing executed in the wristband 1 may be executed by an external device connected via short-range wireless communication.

  Next, the movement of the arm and the fluctuation of the acceleration applied to the arm in a general golf swing will be described. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the movement of the arm (the wristband 1 is attached) holding the golf club and the movement of the club head in a golf swing, broken down into general swing elements.

  The state A is an address as a swing element, and is a state in which a stance (foot position) and grip for a shot are determined. The state where the address is determined is almost stationary and the acceleration fluctuation is small. If the stance or grip is wrong, the probability of a nice shot is extremely reduced. However, the present invention does not know whether the stance or grip is good or bad.

  The state B is a state of a start operation (also referred to as a pre-shot routine) that is generally performed in order to smoothly shift from a static state to a moving (starting) state. As this starting operation, for example, there is a waggle, and in general, the club head is repeatedly swung left and right. As a result, a smooth transition can be made from the static address (state A) to the dynamic backswing (state C), and the subsequent timing is stabilized. For example, in the waggle state, the wrist slightly moves back and forth and right and left, so that the acceleration fluctuates slightly. In addition to this waggle, this type of start operation includes a forward press that moves the club head slightly in the target direction, returns the moved grip or head, and moves to the back swing as it is, or a gripping force. For example, there are milking that moves multiple times, and the movement of the head trajectory to the middle of the backswing. Although these start operations are various for each golfer, the start operations performed by one golfer are substantially constant.

  State C is a state of back swing (also referred to as take back) in which energy is stored by twisting the body while raising the arm and club head, and is an operation leading to the top (state D). In this backswing state, the wrist slowly accelerates from the start operation (state B) and decelerates at the top (state D).

  The state D is a top state that occurs when switching from backswing to downswing (state E). This top period is actually a period in which the movement of the upper body that raises the club head in the backswing and the action that lowers the club head in the downswing is balanced (also referred to as “between”). Since it is stopped, the acceleration fluctuation is small.

  In the present embodiment, when the state A (address) and the state C (starting operation) are detected, and the pulse and blood pressure at that time exceed the alarm level, an alarm is notified and an alarm is issued so as to interrupt the swing. Notify the golfer. As a method of notifying the golfer of an alarm immediately after starting a swing or immediately after starting a swing (during a start operation), for example, an intense vibrator vibration may be activated.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing an example of contents stored in the pulse blood pressure execution result storage unit 15, and shows the correspondence between the pulse / blood pressure, the degree of tension, and the execution result for each golfer. For example, in the case of Mr. A, when the pulse is An1 and the blood pressures Amax1 to Amin, the degree of tension is 5 (pretty tension) and the execution result is 1 (very dissatisfaction), indicating a large miss shot. It should be noted that the degree of tension and the execution result are inputted by the shot golfer by operating the operation unit 16 at his / her own judgment after the shot.

  If a large amount of data is accumulated in the pulse blood pressure execution result storage unit 15 as described above, the causal relationship between the pulse, blood pressure, tension, and execution result for each golfer can be understood, and the pulse and blood pressure values immediately before the shot are taken. It is possible to estimate the degree of tension and the execution result. Then, based on a predetermined statistical processing calculation (not shown), if the pulse and blood pressure values that are estimated to have a high possibility of a miss shot are registered in the threshold value registration unit 14 in advance, immediately before the shot is performed. It becomes possible to alarm the possibility of a miss shot.

  FIG. 4 is an operation flowchart of the wristband 1. Hereinafter, this flow will be described with reference to FIGS.

  This flow starts from a state where a golfer who has a golf club in hand wears the wristband 1 to which his / her power is turned on and hits a golf ball at a practice field or golf course (S400). Is input, the data processing / control unit 10 activates the pulse blood pressure measurement unit 11 and the acceleration sensor 12. In this flow, for simplicity of explanation, the pulse blood pressure measurement unit 11 and the acceleration sensor 12 are always activated after the power is turned on. The activation / deactivation of the blood pressure measurement unit 11 and the acceleration sensor 12 may be controlled.

  In the standby state, the data processing / control unit 10 circulates each NO of golfer selection (S402), registration / correction / deletion (S420), pulse / blood pressure abnormality (S440), and waits for the occurrence of each event.

  In S402, when a golfer is selected by the operation unit 16 (S402, YES), the data processing / control unit 10 provides start operation data (acceleration fluctuation data corresponding to the state B in FIG. 2) of the selected golfer. Then, it is read from the start operation registration unit 13 and set in a predetermined work memory (not shown). The display unit 17 displays the preparation OK to prompt the person wearing the wristband 1 to execute a shot, and sets a change in a series of acceleration data input from the acceleration sensor 12 and the work memory. Comparison of the acceleration fluctuation data (starting operation data) is started (S403), and the process proceeds to S410.

  In S410, when the detection of the acceleration data variation corresponding to the start operation from the series of acceleration data input from the acceleration sensor 12 and the detection of the start operation by the operation unit 16 are monitored, and the start operation or the start operation is detected (S410, YES), the latest value of the pulse and blood pressure measured by the pulse blood pressure measurement unit 11 and the past trend stored in the pulse blood pressure execution result storage unit 15 are estimated and compared, and the degree of urgency and the estimation of the execution result are estimated. Is displayed (S411), and the process proceeds to S412.

  In S412, the pulse and blood pressure threshold values of the golfer registered in the threshold value registration unit 14 are compared with the latest pulse and blood pressure values measured by the pulse blood pressure measurement unit 11, and the latest measured pulse and blood pressure values are compared. If the value is an alarm level exceeding the pulse or blood pressure threshold (S412, YES), an alarm notification function (for example, intense vibrator vibration) of the display unit 17 is used to alarm that there is a possibility of a mistake (S413). ), Go to S414. If NO in S412, the process skips S413 and proceeds to S414.

  Here, the threshold value registering unit 14 is considered to be an appropriate pulse determined by the golfer himself or calculated by predetermined statistical processing based on past data stored in the pulse blood pressure execution result storage unit 15. And blood pressure threshold values (for example, pulse rate 120, blood pressure 160) are registered. Further, the threshold value registered in the threshold value registration unit 14 may be only one of pulse and blood pressure. Generally, in an excessive tension state, palpitation is intense and the pulse rate tends to increase abnormally. Therefore, it is possible to determine only an increase in the pulse rate or to make a determination process that emphasizes an increase in the pulse rate. It seems practical.

In S414, the acceleration data from the acceleration sensor 12 is analyzed, and when a still state after a shot (finished state after state D, not shown in FIG. 2) is detected, or execution completion is input to the operation unit 16. If there is (S414, YES), the process proceeds to S415.
In S415, when an operation for storing the execution result is performed (S415, YES), the measured pulse / blood pressure and the tension / actual execution result input by the golfer are associated with each other, and the pulse / blood pressure execution result storage unit 15 is associated. (S416), and the process proceeds to S417. If NO in S415, the process skips S416 and proceeds to S417.

  In S417, the data processing / control unit 10 determines the presence / absence of an end operation. If the end operation has not been performed (S417, NO), the process returns to S410 and repeats the subsequent processes. Thus, data corresponding to each of a plurality of shots can be efficiently accumulated in the pulse blood pressure execution result storage unit 15. When the ending operation is performed (S417, YES), the comparison process of the start operation data of the golfer started in S403 is stopped (S418), and the process returns to S402.

  Next, registration / modification / deletion of various data will be described. If any operation of registration / correction / deletion is performed in S420 (S420, YES), guidance information related to registration / correction / deletion of the golfer name / alarm level and the like is displayed on the display unit 17, and this is displayed. The golfer name, alarm level, etc. are registered / corrected / deleted (S421) in accordance with the contents of the operation performed on the operation unit 16 by the viewed operator, and the process proceeds to S430.

In S430, when an operation for requesting registration of the start operation (state B in FIG. 2) is performed (S430, YES), the data processing / control unit 10 causes the display unit 17 to guide the execution of the start operation. Preparation OK is displayed, and monitoring of acceleration data input from the acceleration sensor 12 is started (S431), and the process proceeds to S432. If NO in S430, the process proceeds to S440.
In S431, the reason for displaying the guidance information that prompts the execution of the start operation is to cause the golfer to execute only the start operation such as forward press or waggle. As a result, in the state change from static to dynamic to static, the dynamic part becomes the starting operation, and the advanced acceleration fluctuation analysis process for extracting the starting operation from a series of swings is not necessary.

When a golfer's movement is detected in S432 (S432, YES), storage of acceleration data input from the subsequent acceleration sensor 12 is started (S433). The storage of the acceleration data continues until the next stationary state is detected (S434, YES).
When a stationary state is detected (S434, YES), monitoring / storage of acceleration data is stopped (S435), a series of acceleration data stored on the display unit 17 is displayed, and acceleration data of a portion designated by the operator is displayed. Then, it is registered in the start operation registration unit 13 as the start operation of the designated golfer (S436).

  Next, health abnormality monitoring based on pulse / blood pressure will be described. If there is an abnormality in the pulse / blood pressure in S440 (S440, YES), an alarm is given that there is a health abnormality (S441), and the process returns to S402. If NO in S440, S441 is skipped and the process returns to S402. Thereby, in the standby state in which each NO of S402, S420, and S440 is circulated, it is possible to detect a health abnormality (440, YES), so it is safe to simply wear this wristband 1 on the arm.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described above. According to the present invention, the pulse / blood pressure / tension / execution result of each golfer who uses the wristband 1 is accumulated for each shot, so that the causal relationship between the pulse / blood pressure / tension / execution result is statistically determined. Can grasp. In addition, if an appropriate threshold value of pulse / blood pressure is registered, it is possible to alarm the degree of tension or estimation of a miss shot immediately before the execution shot, and prevent a miss shot in advance.

  Further, since the wristband 1 is not attached to the golf club but attached to the golfer's own arm, data can be collected in an actual round using various clubs.

  By the way, as an embodiment of the present invention, golf swing has been described as an example. The present invention is not limited to this. That is, it is possible to alarm the state of tension of an actor who performs a predetermined action associated with tension, such as sports, performance, or lecture, immediately before the action.
