Specifically, the number of people who have “questions” related to the conference is “22 people” and exceeds a certain number (for example, 8 people) (or a certain percentage (for example, 30%)). This is shown as the total result. Along with such a totaling result, the proposal content (the word “propose question time”) is displayed in the portion.

  The presenter of the conference can make the conference proceed more efficiently by appropriately considering the situations of a plurality of participants (listeners) by acquiring the proposal content from the conference management apparatus 10. .

<Display mode regarding the total result of psychological state and contents of proposal to the meeting>
FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 are diagrams showing a display example by the “graph mode” (a mode for displaying the total result of the psychological state in a graph format). The conference system 1 has not only a “graph mode” but also a “map mode” (a mode in which the psychological state count results are displayed in a map format). In the conference system 1, “graph mode” and “map mode” can be selectively used as the display modes related to the psychological state totaling results. Further, in each mode, in addition to the total result of the psychological state, the content of the proposal (for example, the word “propose question time”) is also displayed. In FIG. 14, it can be seen from the fact that the total value of the psychological states of 24 participants exceeds 24, that one participant has two or more psychological states at a certain point in time. It may be determined. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be determined that one participant has only a single psychological state (representative psychological state).

  FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating a display example in the “map mode”. In FIG. 18, map information indicating the presence positions (seat positions) of a plurality of (here, 24) participants and the psychological state of each participant is displayed. In FIG. 18, the most representative single psychological state is displayed for each participant.

  The presenter can grasp the psychological state of each participant by visually recognizing the display screen in the map mode. For example, the presenter can specify the person who feels “question” based on the map of FIG. 18 (specifically, the seat position of the person who feels “question”). Therefore, it is possible for the presenter to nominate a person who feels “question” after the transition to “question time” with reference to the proposal content, and to ask the question content. It becomes easy to draw out questions from people who are.

  Further, the presenter can specify the person who feels “interest” based on the map of FIG. 18 (specifically, the seat position of the person who feels “interest”). By specifying a person who has an interest in the topic of the meeting, it is possible to smoothly proceed with business negotiations with the person after the meeting or the like.

<Modes related to the psychological status target (total target mode)>
In addition, the conference system 1 has an “all participant target mode” in which all participants are subject to psychological state aggregation and a “specific participant target mode” in which a specific participant is subject to psychological state aggregation. ing. In the conference system 1, the “all participant target mode” and the “specific participant target mode” can be selectively used as modes relating to psychological state aggregation targets.

  FIGS. 13, 14, and 18 described above show display examples in the “all-participant target mode”.

  On the other hand, FIG. 17 shows a display example in the “specific participant target mode”. In FIG. 17, the psychological state is tabulated (acquired) for a specific person (for example, a key person (a president, a general manager, etc.) who has a decision authority regarding the contents of the meeting in an in-house meeting). In the “specific participant target mode”, the proposal content (advice) to the conference is determined based on the determination result regarding the psychological state of the specific person (specific participant). Note that the specific person is one of a plurality of participants, and is a person different from the presenter of the meeting. In addition, the “specific person” (for example, the user U3) in the “specific participant target mode” may be set in advance by a presenter or a conference management related person before the start of the conference.

  In FIG. 17, matching levels of seven psychological states (“question”, “urinary intention”, “sleepiness”, “satisfaction”, “irritation”, “interest”, “tension”) are shown. Specifically, the matching levels for the psychological states of “question”, “urinary intention”, “sleepiness”, “getting tired”, “irritation”, “interest”, and “tension” are “90” and “15”, respectively. , “3”, “15”, “22”, “28”, “3” are graphed. It is determined that the matching level for “question” is the highest and exceeds a predetermined reference value (for example, 60), and the psychological state of the specific person (for example, user U3) is “a state that feels doubt”. The When it is determined that a specific person (participant) has a “question” regarding the content of the conference, it is necessary to shift to a “question and answer period” (question time) at the conference. It is decided as a proposal to the meeting. In this manner, the presenter can proceed with the conference with particular emphasis on the psychological state of a specific person.

<Mode for notification destination of proposal contents (notification destination mode)>
The conference management apparatus 10 has two notification modes related to the notification destination of the proposal content. Specifically, the “private notification mode” that notifies the presenter of the proposal (and the conference operator, etc.), and the conference participants as well as the conference presenter (and the conference operator, etc.) “Public notification mode” is also provided. The notification unit 28 of the conference management apparatus 10 changes the notification destination according to the notification mode (private notification mode and public notification mode) selected by the conference presenter or the like.

  For example, in the “private notification mode”, the notification unit 28 collaborates with the display control unit 23 on the display unit 16b of the conference management apparatus 10 that is also used as a presenter terminal (conference proposal content ( Advice) etc. (FIGS. 13 and 14, etc.) are displayed. Thereby, the presenter is notified of the content of the proposal. In the display device 30 (projector device), only the presentation material (see FIG. 12) is displayed, and the content of the proposal to the conference and the total result of the psychological state are not displayed. Therefore, the presenter of the conference can determine how to proceed with the conference without disclosing information for determining the conference progress to the participants. The notification unit 28 is not limited to this, and uses the earphones (presenter earphones and related person earphones) connected to the conference management device 10 in cooperation with the voice input / output control unit 24, Proposal contents (advice) to the conference are output as audio.

  In the private notification mode, the content of the proposal to the conference can be notified to the conference management parties other than the presenter. In that case, the proposal content and the like may be displayed on the display unit of the terminal (computer or the like) used by the person to be notified (meeting operation related person). In addition, the proposal content or the like may be output by voice using an earphone or the like used by the person to be notified.

  In the public notification mode, the notification unit 28 causes the display device 30 (projector device) to display proposal contents (advice) and the like for the conference in cooperation with the display control unit 23. As a result, the proposal content and the like are notified not only to the conference presenter (and the conference operation manager) but also to all participants (listeners). Therefore, the presenter of the conference can disclose the information for determining the progress of the conference (evidence element, etc.) to the participants and proceed with the conference while sharing the information with the participants. Note that the notification is not limited to display output, and notification by voice output may be performed. For example, the notification unit 28 cooperates with the audio input / output control unit 24 to use the external speaker connected to the conference management apparatus 10 (particularly, the external speaker installed in the conference hall) to propose the content to the conference. (Advice) may be output by voice. More specifically, the advice may be announced in the hall by a speaker for announcement in the hall.

  In addition, the setting process regarding these various modes is performed in advance according to a user operation or the like before the start of the conference. In addition, these three types of modes (specifically, modes relating to psychological state aggregation targets, two display modes relating to proposal contents to a meeting, and two modes relating to notification destinations of proposal contents) are used in combination with each other. obtain.

<1-5. Operation details>
Next, the operation of the conference system 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 10 are flowcharts showing the operation of the conference management apparatus 10. FIG. 4 is a flowchart roughly showing the operation of the conference management apparatus 10, and FIGS. 5 to 10 are flowcharts showing details of each operation of steps S20, S30, S40, S60, S70, and S80 in FIG. It is.

  As shown in FIG. 4, after the initialization process (S10) is executed, the processes of steps S20, S30, S40, S50, S60, S70, and S80 are repeatedly executed. Below, the process of each step is demonstrated in order.

<1-5-1. Initialization process: Step S10>
First, in step S10 (see FIG. 4), an initialization process is executed. Specifically, a status flag (FG_STATUS) that is flag information indicating a state is initialized (set to zero). Regarding the status flag (FG_STATUS), the value “0” means “registration required” (state to be registered) (in other words, “registration incomplete state”), and the value “1” is “collection required” Means “a state in which biological information is to be collected”, and a value “2” means “necessary state” (a state in which a psychological state should be determined based on biological information). In step S10, the number of user registrations (here, the number of participant registrations) is also initialized (set to zero), and the in-conference flag (FG_MEETING) is also initialized (set to zero (off)).

<1-5-2. Registration process: Step S20>
In the next step S20 (see FIG. 4 and FIG. 5), a registration process of the biological information detecting device is executed.

  In step S21 (see FIG. 5), it is determined whether or not the conference has started. When the conference flag (FG_MEETING) is zero (off), it is determined that the conference is not started, and the process proceeds to step S22. In other cases, the process of step S20 is temporarily terminated.

  In step S22, it is determined whether or not the status flag (FG_STATUS) is “0” (a value meaning “registration required”). If the status flag (FG_STATUS) is “0”, the process proceeds to step S23. In other cases, the process of step S20 is temporarily terminated.

  In steps S23 and S24, a registration process is performed on the wearable terminal 50 newly installed by a conference participant (listener) among the plurality of wearable terminals 50 prepared in advance by the conference operator or the like.

  Specifically, in step S23, among the plurality of wearable terminals 50, the wearable terminal 50 newly attached by the conference participant is notified that the user apparatus 50 is newly attached by the user (new attachment notification). Is transmitted to the conference management apparatus 10.

  Upon receiving the new attachment notification, the conference management apparatus 10 registers the device as the transmission source of the new attachment notification as an activated device (valid device) (step S24). Further, the user information (name, affiliation, etc.) of the wearer is registered in association with the wearable terminal 50 as necessary. The registration process may be performed using the user interface of the wearable terminal 50. However, the registration process is not limited to this, and the registration process may be performed using a user interface of the conference management apparatus 10 or the like.

  More specifically, for example, when each participant of the conference visits the reception of the conference, the conference reception guide hands over each wearable terminal 50 (power-on state) to each participant. Each participant wears the wearable terminal 50 on his / her arm based on the wearing request from the reception guide. When the wearable terminal 50 detects that it is worn on the human body, it transmits a new wearing notification to the conference management apparatus 10 as described above. When the user information (name, affiliation, etc.) of each participant is registered, information on each participant is transmitted from the wearable terminal 50 to the conference management apparatus 10 in addition to the new attachment notification. Then, the conference management apparatus 10 performs a registration process based on a new attachment notification or the like.

  Thereafter, when registration processing of all wearable terminals 50 corresponding to all participants is completed, an operator (presenter or the like) of the conference system 1 performs a conference start operation (a conference start button (not shown) indicating conference start). Press). The conference start button is displayed on the display unit 16b of the conference management device 10, for example. When the conference start button is pressed, it is determined that the registration mode has ended, and the process proceeds from step S25 to step S26.

  In step S <b> 26, the conference management apparatus 10 stores the number of registered users and changes the in-conference flag (FG_MEETING) to on (“1”). After that, the presenter's presentation at the conference starts.

  In step S27, the conference management apparatus 10 resets a timer (collection timing measurement timer) for measuring the timing of collecting biological information and starts measuring time.

  In step S28, the conference management apparatus 10 sets the status flag (FG_STATUS) to “1”.

<1-5-3. Biological information collection processing: Step S30>
In the next step S30 (see FIGS. 4 and 6), a biometric information collection process is executed.

  In step S31 (FIG. 6), it is determined whether or not a meeting is in progress. If the in-conference flag (FG_MEETING) is “1” (on), it is determined that the conference is in progress, and the process proceeds to step S32. In other cases, it is determined that the conference is not in progress, and the process of step S30 is temporarily terminated.

  In step S32, it is determined whether or not the status flag (FG_STATUS) is “1”. When the status flag (FG_STATUS) is “1” (“necessary collection state” (state where biometric information should be collected)), the process proceeds to step S33. In other cases, the process of step S30 is temporarily terminated.

  In step S33, the elapsed time from the previous timer reset point (the reset point in step S47 (FIG. 7) (however, the first time is the reset point in step S27 (FIG. 5)) is a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute). ) Is determined based on the measurement time of the biological information collection timing measurement timer (see step S27). If the elapsed time has reached the predetermined time, the process proceeds to step S34. If the elapsed time has not yet reached the predetermined time, the process of step S30 is temporarily terminated.

  In steps S34 to S36, biometric information collection processing (acquisition processing) of all participants (for example, 24 participants) is executed.

  Specifically, in step S <b> 34, the conference management apparatus 10 transmits a biometric information detection request (also a biometric information transmission request) to the i-th wearable terminal 50.

  When receiving the biometric information detection request, the wearable terminal 50 executes biometric information detection processing. Specifically, wearable terminal 50 detects the wearer's biometric information using biometric information detection unit 57 and the like, and transmits the detected biometric information to conference management apparatus 10. The wearable terminal 50 also acquires position information (seat position information and the like) of the wearable terminal 50 and transmits the position information (also the position information of the wearer) to the conference management apparatus 10. More specifically, the wearable terminal 50 associates the terminal ID (and / or the wearer's user ID), the wearer's biometric information, and the wearer's position information (position information of the wearable terminal 50) with each other, thereby managing the conference. 10 to send.

  Then, the conference management apparatus 10 receives the biological information and the position information from the wearable terminal 50 (step S35), and stores the biological information and the like in the storage unit 15 (preferably a nonvolatile storage unit).

  In step S36, it is determined whether biometric information or the like has been received from all registered devices (wearable terminal 50). In other words, it is determined whether or not the biometric information collection process (acquisition process) of all participants (for example, 24 participants) has been completed. If it is determined that the biometric information collection process for any participant has not yet been completed, the value i is incremented and the process returns to step S34. On the other hand, if it is determined that the biometric information collection processing for all participants has been completed, the process proceeds to step S38.

  When the process of steps S34 to S36 is repeated in this way, the biometric information collection process (acquisition process) of all participants (for example, 24 participants) is executed, and the process proceeds to step S38. . .

  In step S38, the conference management apparatus 10 sets the status flag (FG_STATUS) to “2” (“necessary determination state” (a state in which a psychological state should be determined based on biological information)).

<1-5-4. Psychological state determination process: Step S40>
In the next step S40 (see FIGS. 4 and 7), a process for determining the psychological state of each participant is executed.

  In step S41 (FIG. 7), it is determined whether or not a meeting is in progress. If the in-conference flag (FG_MEETING) is “1” (on), it is determined that the conference is in progress, and the process proceeds to step S42. In other cases, it is determined that the conference is not in progress, and the process of step S40 is temporarily terminated.

  In step S42, it is determined whether or not the status flag (FG_STATUS) is “2”. If the status flag (FG_STATUS) is “2” (“need determination state” (a state in which a psychological state should be determined based on biological information)), the process proceeds to step S43. In other cases, the process of step S40 is temporarily terminated.

  In steps S43 to S45, processing for determining the psychological state of all participants (for example, 24 participants) is executed.

  First, in step S43, the conference management apparatus 10 reads out the i-th biological information (biological information of the i-th participant) from the storage unit 15, and converts it into the i-th biological information based on the i-th biological information. The psychological state of the corresponding person (the wearer of i-th wearable terminal 50) is determined.

  Here, as a person's psychological state, a state having "question", a state having "urinary intention", a state having "drowsiness", and a state feeling "satiated" It is assumed that a state of feeling “irritated” (frustrated state), a state of feeling “interested”, and a “tensioned state (or anxiety state)” are distinguished from each other.

  Then, the conference management apparatus 10 stores the determination result in step S43 in the storage unit 15 (step S44).

  In step S45, it is determined whether or not the psychological state determination process for the wearers of all registered devices (wearable terminals 50) has been completed. In other words, it is determined whether or not the psychological state determination process for all participants (for example, 24 participants) has been completed. When it is determined that the psychological state determination process for any participant has not yet been completed, the value i is incremented and the process returns to step S43. On the other hand, if it is determined that the psychological state determination process has been completed for all participants, the process proceeds to step S47.

  When the process of steps S43 to S45 is repeated in this manner, the process of determining the psychological state of all participants (for example, 24 participants) is executed, the process proceeds to step S47.

  In step S47, the conference management apparatus 10 prepares a biological information collection timing measurement timer (see step S27) for the next biological information collection process (step S30) (and subsequent psychological state determination process (step S40)). ) Is reset. In response to this, time measurement from the reset point is started.

  In step S48, the conference management apparatus 10 sets (returns) the status flag (FG_STATUS) to “1” (“necessary collection state” (a state in which biometric information should be collected)).

<1-5-5. Advice determination process: Step S50>
In the next step S50 (see FIGS. 4 and 11), a process for determining advice (contents of proposal) for the conference is executed.

  The advice (proposed content) is determined based on the psychological state determined in step S40 (see FIG. 11).

  For example, when the mode related to the psychological state aggregation target is set to the “all-participant target mode”, the proposal content for the conference is determined as follows.

  Specifically, a certain degree (predetermined proportion) (for example, 10%) or more of all participants have a “question” (in other words, a “question” regarding the content of the meeting). Is determined based on the biometric information of a plurality of participants, it is determined as a proposal to the meeting that it should shift to the “Q & A period” (question time) in the meeting. The

  Moreover, it is determined based on the biometric information of a plurality of participants that a predetermined degree (predetermined percentage) (for example, 20%) or more of all participants are in a state of having “urinary intention”. In this case, it is determined as a proposal content to the conference that the “toilet break (period)” in the conference should be shifted.

  Further, it is determined based on the biometric information of a plurality of participants that a predetermined degree (predetermined percentage) (for example, 30%) or more of all participants are in a state of “sleepiness”. In this case, it is determined as a proposal content to the conference that the “coffee time” in the conference should be shifted. By transitioning to “coffee time” according to these proposals, each participant refreshes their feelings, and communication from the presenter to each participant is relatively smooth after the conference is resumed. Probability is high. “Coffee time” (also referred to as refresh drink provision period) may be a break period in which the meeting is temporarily interrupted, but coffee etc. while the meeting continues (without being interrupted) It may be a period during which the beverage is provided. Moreover, it replaces with coffee and other drinks, such as black tea or green tea, may be provided.

  In addition, it is determined based on the biometric information of a plurality of participants that a predetermined degree (predetermined proportion) (for example, 30%) or more of all participants is in a state of feeling “bored” It is determined as a proposal to the meeting that the agenda at the meeting should be advanced to the next agenda.

  Further, it is determined based on the biometric information of a plurality of participants that a predetermined degree (predetermined proportion) (for example, 10%) or more of all participants are feeling “irritated” (irritated). If so, it is determined as a suggestion to the meeting that the speaker of the meeting should be modified (increasing voice and / or reducing speaking speed). Here, it is assumed that the participant feels frustrated because the presenter's remarks cannot be heard well. Such frustration can be eliminated by modifying the way the presenter speaks (in this case, making his voice louder and / or reducing his speaking speed). For example, this is also effective when the microphone volume is not adjusted well.

  In addition, a predetermined degree (predetermined proportion) (for example, 20%) or more of all participants feels “interested” (in other words, they are interested in a topic in progress at a meeting) State) is determined based on the biological information of a plurality of participants, it is determined as a proposal to the conference that additional information (detailed information) on the topic should be provided to each participant. . Depending on the content of the proposal, the presenter provides (detailed information) related to the topic (for example, playing a video related to the topic, and / or an actual object (exhibit related to the topic). ) Or the presence of a business talk corner, etc.). According to this, it is possible to efficiently provide information related to contents that a relatively large number of participants are interested in.

  In addition, the biometric information of a plurality of participants indicates that a predetermined degree (predetermined proportion) (for example, 20%) or more of all participants is in a “tension or anxiety state”. If it is determined based on this, it is determined as a proposal content that a speech technique that softens the atmosphere of the meeting should be adopted (say, joking).

  Thus, when it is determined based on the biological information of the plurality of participants that a predetermined degree or more of the plurality of participants has a specific psychological state, the specific psychological state The content corresponding to is determined as the proposal content.

  Even when the mode related to the psychological state aggregation target is set to the “specific participant target mode”, it may be determined in the same manner as described above. However, instead of determining whether or not a predetermined degree (predetermined percentage) or more of all participants have a specific psychological state, a specific participant among all participants has a specific psychological state It is only necessary to use a condition for determining whether or not the Then, when it is determined that the specific participant has a specific psychological state based on the biological information of the specific participant, the content corresponding to the specific psychological state is determined as the proposed content. That's fine.

<1-5-6. Image creation processing: Step S60>
In the next step S60 (see FIG. 4 and FIG. 8), an image generation process reflecting the total result regarding the psychological state of each participant and the content of the proposal to the meeting is executed.

  In step S61 (FIG. 8), it is determined whether or not a meeting is in progress. If the in-conference flag (FG_MEETING) is “1” (on), it is determined that the conference is in progress, and the process proceeds to step S62. In other cases, it is determined that the conference is not in progress, and the process of step S60 is temporarily terminated.

  In step S62, it is determined whether “graph mode” or “map mode” is set as the display mode of the proposal content. As described above, appropriate content (proposed content display mode) is set according to the user's setting operation, etc., and in step S62, two displays, graph mode and map mode, are displayed according to the content of the setting. One of the display modes is determined (selected) as the display mode of the proposal content. If “graph mode” is selected, the process proceeds to step S63. On the other hand, when the “map mode” is selected, the process proceeds to step S67 (described later).

  In step S <b> 63, it is determined whether one of “all participant target mode” or “specific participant target mode” is set as the mode related to the psychological state aggregation target. As described above, appropriate content (in detail, one of the two modes related to the aggregation target) is set according to the user's setting operation or the like. In step S63, “All” is set according to the content of the setting. One of the two modes of “participant target mode” and “specific participant target mode” is determined (selected) as a mode related to a psychological state aggregation target.

  If “all participants target mode” is selected, the process proceeds to step S65. In step S65, psychological states relating to all (for example, 24) participants are aggregated. Then, in step S66, a graph image G1 (see FIG. 14) showing the total result in step S65 and an image G21 (see FIG. 14) showing the proposal contents determined in step S50 are generated. These images may be generated as separate image data, or may be generated as one image data.

  When the “specific participant target mode” is selected, the process proceeds to step S64. In step S64, the psychological state relating to a specific participant (for example, a person who has a decision-making authority regarding the contents of the meeting (such as a president or general manager) in an in-house meeting) is aggregated (acquired). Then, in step S66, a graph image G3 (see FIG. 17) showing the total result in step S64 and an image G21 (see FIG. 17) showing the proposal content determined in step S50 are generated.

  Further, in step S67, the aggregation process is performed in a state where the biometric information of each participant (and the psychological state of each participant) and the position information of each wearer (position information of the wearable terminal 50) are associated with each other. Is called. Then, in step S68, a graph image G5 (see FIG. 18) showing the counting result in step S67 and an image G21 (see FIG. 18) showing the proposal content determined in step S50 are generated.

<1-5-7. Output process (notification process): Step S70>
In the next step S70 (see FIG. 4 and FIG. 9), a process of notifying a predetermined notification of advice to the meeting or the like (a process for displaying and outputting the image generated in step S60) is executed.

  In step S71 (FIG. 9), it is determined whether or not a meeting is in progress. If the in-conference flag (FG_MEETING) is “1” (on), it is determined that the conference is in progress, and the process proceeds to step S72. In other cases, it is determined that the conference is not in progress, and the process of step S70 is temporarily terminated.

  In step S72, it is determined whether “public notification mode” or “private notification mode” is set as the mode related to the notification destination of the proposal content. As described above, appropriate contents (a mode related to the notification destination of the proposal contents) are set according to the user's setting operation and the like. In step S72, “public notification mode” and “private” are set according to the setting contents. One of the two modes (notification destination mode) of “notification mode” (notification destination mode) is determined (selected) as the mode relating to the notification destination of the proposal content. If “public notification mode” is selected, the process proceeds to step S73. On the other hand, if “private notification mode” is selected, the process proceeds to step S74.

  In step S73, the image (FIG. 14, FIG. 17, FIG. 18 or the like) generated in step S60 is displayed using the display device 30 (projector device). For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the slide image for presentation is displayed slightly smaller than the size of the entire display screen, and the image G1 generated in step S60 is displayed in the lower right blank area in the display screen. , G21 are superimposed and displayed. In other words, the proposal content (image G21, etc.) for the conference is displayed on the display means (projector screen) for all participants that displays the agenda content of the conference, so that the proposal content is displayed for all participants (all auditors). ) And presenters are notified. In addition, a determination result (total result) (image G1 or the like) regarding the psychological state of all participants determined based on the biometric information of all participants (all auditors) is also displayed (notified). The determination result regarding the psychological state is displayed in a graph format or a map format, for example, as described above.

  In step S74, the image (FIG. 14, FIG. 17, or FIG. 18) generated in step S60 is displayed using the display unit 16b of the conference management apparatus 10 (also used as a presenter terminal). . In other words, the proposal content (image G21 or the like) for the conference is displayed on the display means (computer screen) for the presenter that displays the agenda content of the conference, thereby notifying the presenter of the proposal content. In addition, a determination result (total result) (image G1 or the like) regarding the psychological state of all participants determined based on the biometric information of all participants (all auditors) is also displayed (notified).

  In step S74, only the presentation material (see FIG. 12) is displayed on the display device 30 (projector device), and the content of the proposal to the conference (and the aggregated result of the psychological state) is not displayed. In other words, the content of the proposal to the conference is not notified to a plurality of participants in the conference, and is notified only to the presenter (and the conference operation related person) in the conference.

  In steps S73 and S74, a similar image may be distributed to terminals of conference management parties. In other words, the proposal content for the conference is also displayed on the display means (display screen of the mobile terminal, etc.) for the conference operation related person who displays the agenda content of the conference, so that the proposal content is notified to the conference operation related person. May be.

<1-5-8. End Process: Step S80>
In step S80 (see FIGS. 4 and 10), an end process is executed.

  In step S81, it is determined whether or not the conference is ended.

  When the conference ends, the presenter performs a conference end operation (such as pressing a conference end button (not shown)). The conference end button is displayed on the display unit 16b of the conference management apparatus 10 in accordance with, for example, an operation (menu screen call operation or the like) by the presenter.

  The conference management apparatus 10 determines in step S81 that the conference has not ended yet until the conference end operation is detected. If it is determined in step S81 that the conference has not ended yet, the process of step S80 is temporarily ended, and the process returns to step S20 again (see FIG. 4).

  On the other hand, when the conference management apparatus 10 detects the conference end operation, it determines in step S81 that the conference has ended. Then, the process proceeds to step S82.

  In step S82, the in-conference flag (FG_MEETING) is changed to off (“zero”), and the process proceeds to the next step S83.

  In step S83, it is determined whether a schedule for the next meeting is registered.

  If the next meeting is not reserved, the process in FIG. 4 is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the next conference is reserved, the process proceeds from step S83 to step S84. In step S84, the status flag (FG_STATUS) is initialized (set to zero). In step S85, the number of user registrations (here, the number of participant registrations) is also initialized (set to zero). Then, it returns to step S20 again.

  According to the operation as described above, the biometric information of the participant during the conference is acquired (step S30), and the psychological state of the participant is determined based on the biometric information of the participant (step S40). Then, the content of the proposal to the conference is determined based on the determination result related to the psychological state of the participant (step S50), and the content of the proposal is notified to the conference presenter and the like (steps S60 and S70). Therefore, the presenter of the conference can make the conference proceed more efficiently by appropriately considering the participants' situation by knowing the content of the proposal by the conference management device 10.

<2. Second Embodiment>
The second embodiment is a modification of the first embodiment. Below, it demonstrates centering on difference with 1st Embodiment.

  In the second embodiment, not only the biometric information of the conference participants but also the biometric information of the “presenter” of the conference is acquired. Specifically, the presenter of the conference also wears the wearable terminal 50, and the biometric information detected by the wearable terminal 50 is the same as the biometric information of each participant in the first embodiment from the wearable terminal 50 to the conference management device. 10 is transmitted. The conference management apparatus 10 also receives the presenter's biometric information from the wearable terminal 50 (step S30 (see FIG. 4)), and also determines the presenter's psychological state based on the presenter's biometric information (step S40). ). And the conference management apparatus 10 determines the proposal content based on the determination result regarding the psychological state of the presenter and the psychological state of each participant (step S50). According to such an aspect, the content of the proposal to the meeting can be determined more appropriately in consideration of the psychological state of the presenter.

  In the second embodiment, the above-described three types of modes (display mode, counting target mode, and notification destination mode) can be appropriately set and used.

  In the second embodiment, it is particularly preferable that the notification destination (notification destination person) as a conference management person includes a “representative presenter” (described later) who makes a presentation on behalf of the current presenter. . More specifically, the public notification mode may be adopted. Alternatively, a private notification mode may be adopted. When the private notification mode is adopted, the display operation or the audio output operation may be performed so that the proxy presenter is also notified. Specifically, the notification from the conference management apparatus 10 may be output from the user terminal of the substitute presenter.

  Now, FIG. 21 is a figure which shows the content of the proposal determined in 2nd Embodiment. With reference to FIG. 21, a description will be given of the proposed content determination process (step S50) in the second embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 21, first, when it is not determined that the presenter's psychological state is one of the seven psychological states described above, the determination of the participant's psychological state is performed as in the first embodiment. Proposal content (see also FIG. 11) according to the result is determined.

  In addition, the presenter's psychological state is determined as one of the following four psychological states, specifically, “question”, “sleepiness”, “satisfaction”, and “interest (or anxiety)”. Even in this case, similar to the first embodiment, the proposal content (see FIG. 11) according to the determination result of the psychological state of the participant is determined.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the presenter has a “tension (or anxiety)” psychological state, as described below, based on both the present state of the presenter and the psychological state of the participant The content of the proposal for the meeting is determined. In this case, proposal contents (see FIGS. 11 and 21) different from those in the first embodiment may be determined.

  Specifically, first, when the presenter has a psychological state of “tension / anxiety” and more than a predetermined level of participants have a psychological state of “question”, the same as in the first embodiment. Proposal content (shift to question time) is determined. Also, when the presenter has a psychological state of “tension / anxiety” and more than a predetermined number of participants have a psychological state of “urinary intention”, the same proposal contents as in the first embodiment ( Transition to toilet break time) is determined. Similarly, when the presenter has a psychological state of “tension / anxiety” and more than a predetermined number of participants have a psychological state of “sleepiness”, or the presenter has a psychological state of “tension / anxiety” Even if a predetermined number of participants have a psychological state of “interest”, the same proposal as in the first embodiment (transfer to coffee time or provision of additional information) Are determined respectively.

  On the other hand, when the presenter has a psychological state of “tension / anxiety” and more than a predetermined level of participants has a psychological state of “tension / anxiety” Alternatively, when a determination result indicating that the person has an anxiety psychological state is obtained, the same proposal content as the first embodiment (saying a joke) is not determined and is suspended. In this case, the content of any proposal is not notified to the presenter. According to this, it is possible to avoid an additional psychological load (a psychological load to respond to the content of the proposal) from being applied to a presenter who has a psychological state of “tension (or anxiety)”. is there.

  Similarly, when the presenter has a psychological state of “tension / anxiety” and more than a predetermined number of participants have a psychological state of “irritability”, the same proposal as in the first embodiment. (Speaking improvement) is not decided and is put on hold. Similarly, if the presenter has a psychological state of “tension / anxiety” and more than a predetermined number of participants have a psychological state of “boring”, the same proposal as in the first embodiment above The content (transition to the next agenda) is not decided and is withheld. In these cases, the content of any proposal is not notified to the presenter. According to this, it is possible to avoid an additional psychological load (a psychological load to try to respond to the proposal contents) from being applied to a presenter who has a psychological state of “tension / anxiety”.

  Also, if it is determined that the presenter has an “irritated” psychological state, as described below, based on both the presenter's psychological state and the participant's psychological state, Proposal content is decided. As a cause of the presenter's “frustration”, for example, the meeting does not proceed as inventor's ideal.

  Specifically, when the presenter has a psychological state of “frustration” and more than a predetermined number of participants have a psychological state of “question”, the same proposal as in the first embodiment above The content (transition to question time) is determined. In addition, when the presenter has a psychological state of “irritability” and more than a predetermined number of participants have a psychological state of “urinary intention”, the same proposal content as the first embodiment (toilet break) ) Is determined. Further, even when the presenter has a psychological state of “frustration” and more than a predetermined number of participants have a psychological state of “interest”, the same proposal content (additional information) as in the first embodiment. Provided) is determined.

  On the other hand, when the presenter has a psychological state of “frustration” and more than a predetermined number of participants have a psychological state of “tension (or anxiety)”, the first embodiment and Similar proposal content (saying a joke) is not decided and is put on hold. In this case, the content of any proposal is not notified to the presenter. According to this, the presenter who has a psychological state of “tension (anxiety)” is added with a further psychological load (a psychological load to respond to the proposal content) and increases the irritation of the presenter. Can be avoided.

  In addition, when the presenter has a psychological state of “irritability” and more than a predetermined number of participants have a psychological state of “irritability”, the same proposal content (speaking method) as in the first embodiment. (Improvement) is not decided, and instead, it is decided as a content to be proposed to the meeting that it should shift to “break time”. By shifting to the “break time”, it is possible to suppress the “irritability” of the presenter and the “irritability” of the participant.

  If the presenter has a psychological state of “frustration” and more than a predetermined number of participants have a “satisfied” psychological state, the same proposal as in the first embodiment (the following Transition to the agenda) is not determined, and instead, it is determined as a proposal to the meeting that it should shift to “break time”. By shifting to the “break time”, it is possible to suppress the “irritability” of the presenter and to eliminate the “satisfaction” of the participants.

  If the presenter has a psychological state of “irritability” and more than a predetermined number of participants have a psychological state of “sleepiness”, the same proposal content (coffee time as in the first embodiment). However, instead of this, it is determined as the content of the proposal to the meeting that it should shift to the “break time”. By shifting to the “break time”, it is possible to suppress the “irritability” of the presenter and to eliminate the “sleepiness” of the participant.

  In addition, when it is determined that the presenter has a psychological state of “urinary intention”, as described below, based on both the present psychological state of the presenter and the psychological state of the participant, The content of the proposal for the meeting is decided.

  Specifically, when the presenter has a determination result that the presenter has a psychological state of “urinary consciousness” and more than a predetermined number of participants have a psychological state of “sleepiness”, or the presentation If the person has a psychological state of “urinary intention” and a determination result indicating that more than a predetermined number of participants have a “satisfied” psychological state, it should be shifted to “break time” Is determined as a proposal to the meeting. Similarly, when the presenter has a psychological state of “urine intention” and a determination result indicating that more than a predetermined number of participants have the psychological state of “urinary intention”, the “break time” is also set. It is decided as a proposal to the meeting that it should be transferred. By shifting to “break time” (rest period), it is possible to secure time for the presenter to go to the toilet, and also to eliminate “sleepiness”, “satisfaction”, or “urinary intention” of participants. It is.

  In addition, when the presenter obtains a determination result indicating that the presenter has a psychological state of “urinary intention” and more than a predetermined number of participants have the psychological state of “question”, or the presenter If a determination result indicating that a certain number of participants have a psychological state of “interesting” is obtained, the conference will indicate that the presenter should be replaced with a new presenter. The content of the proposal is determined. If the meeting is continued by changing the presenter (change from the original presenter to a new presenter (representative presenter)), the original presenter can have time to go to the toilet, It is not necessary to disturb the participants.

  Similarly, when a determination result is obtained that the presenter has a psychological state of “urinary intention” and more than a predetermined number of participants have a psychological state of “irritability”, or the presenter It is also a meeting that the presenter should be replaced even when a judgment result is obtained that the psychological state of “urinary intention” and more than a predetermined number of participants have the psychological state of “tension or anxiety” It will be decided as a proposal content.

  When “change to proxy presenter” is determined as the proposal content to the conference, it is preferable that the proposal content is also notified to the proxy presenter (as described above). According to this, since the substitute presenter can foresee the replacement request from the original presenter, it is possible to smoothly perform the change from the original presenter to the substitute presenter.

  Thus, if it is determined that the presenter has the psychological state of “urinary intention”, the content of the proposal to the conference based on both the present psychological state of the presenter and the psychological state of the participant Is determined. Therefore, more appropriate proposal content can be determined.

  Moreover, if the various determination operations described above are grasped from different viewpoints, they can be expressed as follows. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, when a determination result that a predetermined degree or more of participants have a specific psychological state is obtained, the same contents as in the first embodiment are always displayed. The content of the proposal to the conference is determined based on the psychological state of the presenter, not as the content of the proposal.

  For example, in a case where a determination result indicating that a predetermined number or more of participants are “irritated” is obtained, the content of the proposal to the conference is determined based on the psychological state of the presenter. Specifically, when the presenter has any of the psychological states of “question”, “drowsiness”, “satisfaction”, and “interest”, “improvement of speaking” is performed as in the first embodiment. Determined as a proposal. On the other hand, when the presenter has “tension (anxiety)”, the proposed content (“improvement of speaking”) is put on hold, and the proposed content itself is not determined. Further, when the presenter has “frustration”, “break time” is determined as the proposal content. Further, when the presenter has “urinary intention”, “change of presenter” is determined as the proposal content.

  Similarly, for each of the other psychological states related to the participant, the proposal content is determined based on the psychological state of the presenter.

  In this way, the proposal content of the meeting is not uniquely determined based on the psychological state of the participant, but is determined based on the psychological state of the presenter. According to this, a more preferable proposal content can be determined.

  In this case, when it is determined that the presenter has a psychological state of “urinary intention”, when it is determined that the participant has a psychological state of “boring”, “Time” is determined as the proposal, but is not limited to this. For example, “presenter change” may be determined as the proposal content at this time. The same applies when it is determined that the participant has another psychological state. Further, when it is determined that the presenter has the psychological state of “urinary intention”, when it is determined that the participant has the psychological state of “irritated”, etc., FIG. In contrast to the determined content ("change of presenter"), (reversely) "break time" may be determined as the proposed content.

<3. Modified example>
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the contents described above.

  For example, in each of the above embodiments, a bar graph is used in the graph mode, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other types of graphs such as a pie graph may be used (see FIG. 16). FIG. 16 illustrates a mode in which an image G2 including a pie chart and an image G21 indicating the proposal content determined in step S50 are displayed together.

  In each of the above embodiments, the graph is displayed in the lower right blank area in the display screen in the all-participant notification mode (see FIG. 13), but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, an image G <b> 2 (see FIG. 16) including a graph (pie graph in FIG. 15) may be displayed in a blank area at the upper right in the display screen.

  In each embodiment, an image as shown in FIG. 18 is displayed in the map mode. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an image as shown in FIG. 19 may be displayed in the map mode.

  In the map image of FIG. 19, as with the map image of FIG. 18, the presence positions (seat positions, etc.) of each participant in the conference venue are shown, and information on the psychological state of each participant is shown. Has been. Different psychological states are distinguished from each other using different hatching (and / or color).

  Furthermore, in the map image of FIG. 19, the meeting venue is divided into a plurality (four here) of divided areas. More specifically, as viewed from the presenter side, the left front side area (left front area), the left back side area (left back area), the right front side area (right front area), and the right back side area (right back area) ) And four divided areas. Each divided area includes 6 persons. In other words, a plurality of (here, 24) participants are divided into a plurality of groups according to the positions of the seats.

  And in the map image (map information) of FIG. 19, a score is given according to the mental state of the participant who belongs to each of a some division area, and the total result regarding the said score is shown for every division area. Specifically, a score is given according to the psychological state of the participants belonging to each of the plurality of segmented areas by a scoring method in which a relatively high score is given to a positive psychological state than a negative psychological state. Is granted.

  Here, the positive psychological state includes a psychological state that intends to actively participate in the conference, in other words, an active psychological state relating to participation in the conference. Further, the negative psychological state includes a psychological state in which the intention to actively participate in the conference is weak, in other words, a negative psychological state related to participation in the conference.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of scores for each psychological state. Specifically, for the seven psychological states ("question", "urinary intention", "sleepiness", "getting tired", "irritated", "interest", "tension / anxiety"), “2 points”, “1 point”, “0 point”, “4 points”, “10 points”, and “5 points” are assigned.

  As shown in FIG. 20, a relatively high score is assigned to a positive psychological state. For example, “10” points are given to the user psychological state “interest” (a state in which the user actively participates in the conference and feels “interest”). Further, “8” points are given to the user psychological state “question” (a state in which the user actively participates in the conference and feels “question”).

  On the other hand, a relatively low score is given to a negative psychological state. For example, a “0” point is assigned to the user psychological state “bored” (a state where the user feels “bored” in the content of the meeting), and the user psychological state “sleepy” (which is not positive for the conference “ “1” point is given to a state of feeling “drowsiness”.

In the map image of FIG. 19, the total score (total score) for the psychological states of a plurality of participants belonging to each segmented area is displayed superimposed on each segmented area. For example,
The total score value “54” (= 10 + 10 + 10 + 8 + 8 + 8) for the psychological states of the six participants belonging to the left front area is displayed superimposed on the left front area. Similarly, the number “50” (point) is superimposed on the left back area, the number “43” (point) is superimposed on the right front area, and the right back area is displayed. The numeral “28” (point) is superimposed and displayed.

  In a meeting, participants who are interested in relatively similar subjects often gather and sit relatively close together. For example, in a meeting where different companies gather, a plurality of persons in the same company (or a plurality of persons in the same group in a meeting where different groups gather in one company) may gather and sit relatively close together. Many.

  The presenter of the conference can identify a partial area where people who are participating in the conference are gathered relatively actively in the conference venue by visually checking the scored map information as shown in FIG. It is. The presenter can achieve a relatively high presentation effect by making a presentation while taking measures that are conscious of the participants in the divided area to which a relatively high score is given.

  As the countermeasure, the presenter consciously turns his / her line of sight in the direction of the segmented area (for example, the left front area or the left area) to which a relatively high score is given. In addition, it is exemplified that the presenter asks a question toward the participants in the divided area. Alternatively, when a participant in the segmented area views the projector screen (projection screen projected on the screen by the projector device 30), a position that does not block the line of sight from the participant in the segmented area to the projector screen (in the segmented area) For example, the presenter stands at a position that does not interfere with the participants.

  Moreover, in each said embodiment, although the meeting management apparatus 10 determines and acquires each participant's psychological state, it is not limited to this, The wearable terminal 50 determines each participant's psychological state. It may be. In that case, the conference management apparatus 10 may receive and obtain the determination result regarding the psychological state of each participant from the wearable terminal 50.

  In the second embodiment, the content of the proposal to the meeting is determined by considering the psychological state of the “presenter” as completely different from the psychological state of the “participant” (listener). However, it is not limited to this. For example, the psychological state of the “presenter” of the conference is considered equivalent to the psychological state of N “participants” in the conference (considered as the psychological state of the (N + 1) th participant) and The content of the proposal may be determined.

  Moreover, in each said embodiment, although the various modes are preset before a meeting start and the aspect which is not changed during a meeting is illustrated, it is not limited to this. For example, at least one of setting contents of various modes (display mode, counting target mode, notification destination mode) may be changed during the conference.
