Description

The present invention relates to a color-coded dial for communication, a selected character transmission method of the dial, and the like.

Patent Literature 1 below discloses an invention whose solution is to provide an intention communication device and an intention communication method that allow physically handicapped and/or elderly people to use dials that they normally use. Specifically, the conventional intention communication device requires a dedicated dial, and between such a dedicated dial and the dial that is usually used by the physically handicapped, etc., characters and / Or, since it is assumed that the types and/or arrangements of symbols are different, the physically handicapped, etc., should use a dial dedicated to the device (a dial that they do not normally use) instead of the characters they are accustomed to. Character input must be performed according to the configuration of As a result, it is described that they feel a great stress.

In order to reduce such stress and the like, according to the invention of Patent Document 1, from an image of a dial having a plurality of pieces of transmitted information, an area of transmitted information corresponding to the transmitted information on the dial is displayed. , input means for inputting position information on the dial, determination means for determining a transmitted information area corresponding to the position information, and the determined transmitted information area to It is described to propose a communication device with identifying means for identifying a region on the corresponding dial.

However, for example, even if a familiar dial face is used on a daily basis, mutual proficiency and proficiency is still required between the user and the caregiver. Accurately grasping and determining the selected character based on reading of line-of-sight movement and line-of-sight fixation is a high hurdle for inexperienced beginners. In addition, even with the transparent dial used by ALS patients, etc., it is necessary to move the transparent dial to read the line of sight. In many cases, it is necessary to move all the diagonals of the dial over long distances.

Also, when using a shidenwa dialect, for example, if you want to select "Wa", sort sequentially starting from the "A" line (often performed by pointing to the dial), you have to wait until you come to the "wa" line. Then, when the line "wa" is finally reached, the caregiver will be able to indicate the intention to select the character by "blinking" for the first time. , and the labor and man-hours required by the caregiver are also enormous.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can provide a dial face that allows a person requiring assistance to select characters more easily. Since it is possible to select by color, there are few mistakes in guessing where the line of sight is to be moved, and it is possible to smoothly and simply convey the selected item to the caregiver by line of sight or the like. Furthermore, since the target of the line of sight is larger than that of characters (the area of the selected color area can be widened), it is easy for the user to move the line of sight, and it is extremely easy for the caregiver to guess and read the line of sight. , the number of errors is small, and the reading time can be shortened.

Similar actions and effects can be obtained in the case of using such a communication dial for specific selection by pointing, or in the case of specific selection of colors by wording voice. In addition, it is possible to optimize the use of colors and color scheme according to the condition and characteristics of each person requiring nursing care.

Gaze reading by a caregiver is not something that anyone can do easily and immediately. Mutual understanding of individuality and trusting relationships have been required, but the present invention reduces such high hurdles.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a color-coded dial plate for communication 1000 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 1A illustrates a case where color bands 1100(1) and 1100(2) as color selection areas are provided in the upper and lower spaces of a character group display area 1200, respectively, and FIG. 1B illustrates the color band 1100 ( 1) and 1100(2) will be explained, FIG. ) includes a color band 1100 as a color selection area in the space below the character group display area 1200. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, a color-coded dial for communication 1000 displays alphabets, arbitrary custom characters, symbols, and numbers on, for example, a transparent resin sheet base material, and a plurality of characters are listed in an orderly manner in substantially the same occupied area. It is used for conveying intentions to caregivers by sequentially selecting, for example, one letter at a time, and forming sentences or words that one wishes to convey. FIG. 1 shows a mode in which alphabets, symbols, numbers, and a plurality of custom words are displayed in the character group display area 1200. Hiragana, French, German, Russian, Chinese, Arabic, Hangeul characters or the like may be used, and the characters to be displayed may be all arbitrary characters related to intention communication.

In FIG. 1(a), the character group display area 1200 is divided into six background colors, namely, a red background 1210, a blue background 1220, a green background 1230, a yellow background 1240, a light blue background 1250, and a purple background 1260, in order from the left of the page. It is As shown in FIG. 1A, for example, a red background 1210 includes six characters "Q", "W", "A", "S", "Z", and "X". 1220 includes six characters "E", "R", "D", "F", "C", and "V" as characters, and in the other background colors 1230 to 1260, any six characters are similarly It is included.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1(a), each character of the color-coded dial plate 1000 for communication is displayed in a color-coded font. “A” is displayed in green font 1330 , “S” in yellow font 1340 , “Z” in light blue font 1350 , and “X” in purple font 1360 . That is, for example, when the care recipient wants to select the letter "A", first, the red band 1110 is selected by a line of sight or pointing to convey the red background 1210, and then the green font 1330 is transmitted. To do so, the green band 1130 is selected by line of sight, pointing, or the like.

Similarly, for example, "E" is a red font 1310, "R" is a blue font 1320, "D" is a green font 1330, "F" is a yellow font 1340, "C" is a light blue font 1350, and "V" is a purple font. It is displayed at 1360. That is, for example, when the care recipient wishes to select the letter "D", first, in order to transmit the blue background 1220, the blue band 1120 is selected by the line of sight or pointing, and then the green font 1330 is transmitted. To do so, the green band 1130 is selected by line of sight, pointing, or the like. Also, 1140 is a yellow band, 1150 is a light blue band, and 1160 is a purple band. The color scheme and the order/arrangement of these can be arbitrary.

Since the area occupied by each of the color bands 1110 to 1160 is preferably larger than the area occupied by each character group displayed in the character group display area 1200, it is easy to move and fix the line of sight and pointing. It is quick and can be easily read, recognized and grasped by a caregiver or the like, and the time and effort required for mistakes and confirmation can be reduced, enabling accurate and prompt communication of intentions.

As described above, there is no problem even if the same font color exists between characters with different background colors, but the font color does not overlap between characters in the same background color. and If they overlap, it becomes unclear which of the overlapping characters is desired to be conveyed when the intention of the color is indicated, and additional confirmation and selection will be required. From the background color selection (general concept) to the font color selection (minor concept), it is preferable that there be no overlapping colors in the color selection at each stage. However, it is also possible to make the dial configuration easily identifiable by differentiating the overlapping colors by adding shading.

In FIGS. 1(b), 1(c), and 1(d) as well, the font colors and background colors of the characters displayed in the character group display area 1200 are arranged in the manner shown in FIG. 1(a). It is the same, and the only difference is whether or not the color band 1100 is arranged and the arrangement position, so the explanation is omitted. Although the color band 1100 is not shown in the embodiment of FIG. 1(b), the color band 1100 can be provided separately from the color-coded dial plate 1000 for communication, for example, on a separate transparent substrate sheet or the like. However, in that it is possible to specify and transmit each character only by sorting and transmitting colors, the present invention has a certain effect.

(Second embodiment)
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a communication color-coded dial plate 2000 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 2A illustrates a case where color bands 1100(1) and 1100(2) as color selection areas are provided in the upper and lower spaces of a character group display area 2200, respectively, and FIG. 1) and 1100(2) are not provided, FIG. ) includes a color band 1100 as a color selection area in the space below the character group display area 2200. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, the color-coded dial for communication 2000 displays alphabets and arbitrary custom characters, symbols, and numbers on, for example, a transparent resin sheet base material, and a plurality of characters are listed in an orderly manner in substantially the same occupation area. It is used for conveying intentions to caregivers by sequentially selecting, for example, one letter at a time, and forming sentences or words that one wishes to convey. FIG. 2 shows a mode in which alphabets, symbols, numbers, and a plurality of custom words are displayed in the character group display area 2200. Hiragana, French, German, Russian, Chinese, Arabic, Hangeul characters or the like may be used, and the characters to be displayed may be all arbitrary characters related to intention communication.

In FIG. 2(a), the character group display area 2200 has a red frame 1410, a blue frame 1420, a green frame 1430, a yellow frame 1440, a light blue frame 1450, and a purple frame 1460 in order from the left of the page. classified as For convenience of explanation, each of the color frames 1410 to 1460 is surrounded by a dashed line, but as shown in FIG. 2, a rectangular color frame is individually provided for each character class positioned within each dashed line. be. As shown in FIG. 2(a), for example, the alphabetic characters individually surrounded by a red frame 1410 include six letters "Q", "W", "A", "S", "Z", and "X". For example, the blue frame 1420 includes six characters "E", "R", "D", "F", "C", and "V" as characters, and the other color frames 1430 to 1460 similarly include arbitrary characters. Six characters each can be included.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2(a), each character type of the color-coded dial plate for communication 2000 is displayed in color-coded fonts. “A” is displayed in green font 1330 , “S” in yellow font 1340 , “Z” in light blue font 1350 , and “X” in purple font 1360 . That is, for example, when the care-requiring person wants to select the letter "A", first, in order to transmit the red frame 1410, the red band 1110 is selected by line of sight or pointing, and then the green font 1330 is transmitted. To do so, the green band 1130 is selected by line of sight, pointing, or the like.

Similarly, for example, "E" is a red font 1310, "R" is a blue font 1320, "D" is a green font 1330, "F" is a yellow font 1340, "C" is a light blue font 1350, and "V" is a purple font. It is displayed at 1360. That is, for example, when the care recipient wants to select the letter "D", first, in order to transmit the blue frame 1420, the blue band 1120 is selected by line of sight or pointing, and then the green font 1330 is transmitted. To do so, the green band 1130 is selected by line of sight, pointing, or the like. Also, 1140 is a yellow band, 1150 is a light blue band, and 1160 is a purple band. The color scheme and the order/arrangement of these can be arbitrary.

Since the area occupied by each of the color bands 1110 to 1160 is preferably larger than the area occupied by each character group displayed in the character group display area 2200, it is easy to move and fix the line of sight and pointing. It is quick and can be easily read, recognized and grasped by a caregiver or the like, and the time and effort required for mistakes and confirmation can be reduced, enabling accurate and prompt communication of intentions.

As described above, there is no problem even if the same font color exists between characters with different character frame colors, but the font colors do not overlap between characters within the same frame color. shall be If they overlap, it becomes unclear which of the overlapping characters is desired to be conveyed when the intention of the color is indicated, and additional confirmation and selection will be required. From the background color selection (general concept) to the font color selection (minor concept), it is preferable that there be no overlapping colors in the color selection at each stage.

In FIGS. 2(b), 2(c), and 2(d) as well, the font colors and background colors of the characters displayed in the character group display area 2200 are arranged in the manner shown in FIG. 2(a). It is the same, and the only difference is whether or not the color band 1100 is arranged and the arrangement position, so the explanation is omitted. Although the color band 1100 is not shown in the embodiment of FIG. 2(b), the color band 1100 can be provided separately from the color-coded dial plate 2000 for communication, for example, on a separate transparent substrate sheet or the like. However, in that it is possible to specify and transmit each character only by sorting and transmitting colors, the present invention has a certain effect.

3 and 4 are diagrams for explaining variations of color-coded dials for communication according to the present invention. In either case, it is possible to specify and transmit a single character or a single character segment (custom, etc.) only by repeating the color designation transmission in several stages. Color selection is intuitive and relatively easy. In addition, a relatively large footprint can be provided for specifying colors, allowing quick and easy selection.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the layout, arrangement, size, occupied area, etc. of each font character are arbitrary, and the background color, character color (font color), frame color, frame enclosure size, and so on are optional. The range (size and number of groupings of characters to which the color belongs) can also be arbitrary. Furthermore, as the base material of the color-coded dial for communication, for example, a transparent film/plate, a white film/plate, or other known arbitrary materials and colors can be used, and the size can be any size suitable for the user, such as A4 or A5. It's fine. Also, any one or more of the three colors of background color, character color (font color), and frame surrounding color (color by character, color by row, color by column, color by group, etc.) can be combined as appropriate. can be used to select one character by designating a color a plurality of times. For example, a color-coded frame surrounding color for each group, a color-coding frame surrounding color for each column (or a color-coding for each row), and a color-coding frame surrounding color for each character are used so that one character can be selected from three levels of color selection. Also good.

(Third embodiment)
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a color-coded dial plate for communication 3000 according to the third embodiment. FIG. 5A illustrates a case where color bands 1100(1) and 1100(2) as color selection areas are provided in the upper and lower spaces of the character group display area 3200, respectively, and FIG. 5B illustrates the color band 1100 ( 1) and 1100(2) will be explained, FIG. ) has a color band 1100 as a color selection area in the space below the character group display area 3200. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 5, the color-coded dial 3000 for communication displays hiragana and arbitrary custom characters, symbols, numbers, and punctuation marks on, for example, a transparent resin sheet base material, and a plurality of characters occupy substantially the same area. It is used to convey the wishes of the person requiring assistance to the caregiver by sequentially selecting, for example, one letter at a time, and forming sentences or words that one wishes to convey. FIG. 5 shows a mode in which hiragana, symbols, numbers, and a plurality of custom words are displayed in the character group display area 3200. Alphabet, French, German, Russian, Chinese, Arabic, Hangul characters or the like may be used, and the characters to be displayed may be all or part of any arbitrary characters related to communication of the user's intention.

In FIG. 5A, the hiragana characters and the like in the character group display area 3200 are grouped and arranged in two color frames, a large red frame 1510 and a large blue frame 1520, in order from the right side of the page. As shown in FIG. 5(a), for example, the characters surrounded by a large red frame 1510 are hiragana characters of "a line", "ka line", "sa line", "ta line", and "na line", and 6, 7, Each number 8, 9, 0 is included, and for example, in the blue frame 1520, each hiragana character of "ha line", "ma line", "ya line", "ra line", "wa line" and The digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and punctuation marks are included.

In FIG. 5A, in each of the red large frame 1510 and the blue large frame 1520 in the character group display area 3200, the light blue background 1250, the yellow background 1240, the green background 1230, the blue background 1220, and the red background 1210 are arranged in order from the left of the page. The background colors are sorted into vertical columns of five colors. As shown in FIG. 5(a), for example, a red background 1210 of a large red frame 1510 includes six characters "A", "I", "U", "E", "O", and "0" as characters. For example, the blue background 1220 of the red large frame 1510 includes the six characters "ka", "ki", "ku", "ke", "ko", and "9" as characters. Each contains an arbitrary six characters and punctuation marks.

More specifically, "A line" and "Ha line" shown in FIG. ” has a green background 1230 , “Ta line” and “Ra line” have a yellow background 1240 , and “Na line” and “Wa line” have a light blue background 1250 .

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5(a), each character type of the color-coded dial plate 3000 for communication is displayed in color-coded fonts. "u" is displayed in green font 1330, "e" is displayed in yellow font 1340, "o" is displayed in light blue font 1350, and "0" is displayed in purple font 1360. The same applies to the font colors of other columns, for example, "Ka line", "Sa line", "Ha line", "Ma line", and so on. That is, for example, when the care-requiring person selects the character "a" and wants to transmit it, first, the red band 1110 is selected by a line of sight or pointing to transmit the red outline 1510, and then the red background 1210 is selected. A red band 1110 is selected, such as by gaze or pointing, to convey a , and a red band 1110 is selected, such as by looking or pointing, to convey a red font 1310 .

Similarly, for example, "wa" is a red font 1310, "wo" is a blue font 1320, "n" is a green font 1330, "," is a yellow font 1340, "." is a light blue font 1350, and "1" is a purple font. It is displayed at 1360. That is, for example, when the care-requiring person selects and wants to transmit the character "n", first, in order to transmit the blue outline 1520, the blue band 1120 is selected by the line of sight or pointing, and then the green font 1330 is selected. A green band 1130 is selected by eye gaze, pointing, or the like to convey the . Also, 1140 is a yellow band, 1150 is a light blue band, and 1160 is a purple band. The color scheme and the order/arrangement of these can be arbitrary suitable for the user.

Since the area occupied by each of the color bands 1110 to 1160 is preferably larger than the area occupied by each character group displayed in the character group display area 3200, it is easy to move and fix the line of sight and pointing. It is quick and can be easily read, recognized and grasped (or guessed) by a caregiver or the like, reducing mistakes and the time and effort required for confirmation, enabling accurate and rapid communication.

As described above, there is no problem even if the same font color exists between characters with different character frame colors, but the font colors do not overlap between characters within the same frame color. shall be If they overlap, it becomes unclear which of the overlapping characters is desired to be conveyed when the intention of the color is indicated, and additional confirmation and selection will be required. From the background color selection (general concept) to the font color selection (minor concept), it is preferable that there be no overlapping colors in the color selection at each stage.

5(b), 5(c), and 5(d), the font colors and background colors of the characters displayed in the character group display area 3200 are shown in FIG. 5(a). Since this embodiment is the same as the embodiment shown in FIG. Although the color band 1100 is not shown in the embodiment of FIG. 5(b), the color band 1100 can be provided separately from the color-coded dial plate 3000 for communication, for example, on a separate transparent substrate sheet or the like. However, in that it is possible to specify and transmit each character only by sorting and transmitting colors, the present invention has a certain effect.

In the example shown in FIG. 5, there are a general color specification step for specifying the color of the second group of enclosing frames, which is the general frame, a middle concept color specification step for specifying the background color, and a small concept color specification step for specifying the font color. One character can be identified through three stages of color designation transmission, ie, a concept color designation stage and a color designation stage. In any color designation step, a target color can be selected and designated from among the color bands arranged in the color selection area.

(Fourth embodiment)
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a color-coded dial board for communication 4000 according to the fourth embodiment. The fourth embodiment differs from the third embodiment in that character frames 1450, 1440, 1430, 1460, and 1410 are used instead of the font background colors 1250, 1240, 1230, 1260, and 1210. different.

FIG. 6A illustrates the case where color bands 1100(1) and 1100(2) as color selection areas are provided in the upper and lower spaces of the character group display area 4200, respectively, and FIG. 6B illustrates the color band 1100 ( 1) and 1100(2) will be explained, FIG. ) includes a color band 1100 as a color selection area in the space below the character group display area 4200. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 6, the color-coded dial for communication 4000 displays hiragana and arbitrary custom characters, symbols, numbers, and punctuation marks on, for example, a transparent resin sheet base material, and a plurality of characters occupy substantially the same area. It is used to convey the wishes of the person requiring assistance to the caregiver by sequentially selecting, for example, one letter at a time, and forming sentences or words that one wishes to convey. FIG. 6 shows a mode in which hiragana, symbols, numbers, and a plurality of custom words are displayed in the character group display area 4200. Alphabet, French, German, Russian, Chinese, Arabic, Hangul characters or the like may be used, and the characters to be displayed may be all or part of any arbitrary characters related to communication of the user's intention.

In FIG. 6C, the hiragana characters and the like in the character group display area 4200 are grouped and arranged in each color frame of a red large frame 1510 and a blue large frame 1520 in order from the right side of the page. As shown in FIG. 6(c), for example, the characters surrounded by the red large frame 1510 are hiragana characters of "A line", "Ka line", "Sa line", "Ta line", and "Na line", and 6, 7, Each number 8, 9, 0 is included, and for example, in the blue frame 1520, each hiragana character of "ha line", "ma line", "ya line", "ra line", "wa line" and The digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and punctuation marks are included.

In FIG. 6C, in each of the red large frame 1510 and the blue large frame 1520 in the character group display area 4200, the light blue frame 1450, the yellow frame 1440, the green frame 1430, the blue frame 1420, and the red frame 1410 are arranged in this order from the left of the page. The frame colors are classified into vertical columns of five colors, and each individual character is surrounded by a frame. As shown in FIG. 6(c), for example, the red frame 1410 of the large red frame 1510 includes the six characters "a", "i", "u", "e", "o", and "0". For example, the blue frame 1420 of the red large frame 1510 includes the six characters "ka", "ki", "ku", "ke", "ko", and "9" as characters. Each contains an arbitrary six characters and punctuation marks.

More specifically, "A line" and "Ha line" shown in FIG. ” is framed in green 1430 , “Line Ta” and “Line RA” are framed in yellow 1440 , and Lines “Na” and “Line WA” are framed in light blue 1450 .

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, each character of the color-coded dial plate for communication 4000 is color-coded and displayed by color-coded fonts for each row. 1320, "U" is displayed in green font 1330, "E" is displayed in yellow font 1340, "O" is displayed in light blue font 1350, and "0" is displayed in purple font 1360. The same applies to the font colors of other columns, for example, "Ka line", "Sa line", "Ha line", "Ma line", and so on. That is, for example, when the care-requiring person selects the character "a" and wants to transmit it, first, in order to transmit the red large frame 1510, the red band 1110 is selected by the line of sight or pointing, and then the red frame 1410 is selected. A red band 1110 is selected, such as by gaze or pointing, to convey a , and a red band 1110 is selected, such as by looking or pointing, to convey a red font 1310 .

Similarly, for example, "wa" is a red font 1310, "wo" is a blue font 1320, "n" is a green font 1330, "," is a yellow font 1340, "." is a light blue font 1350, and "1" is a purple font. It is displayed at 1360. That is, for example, when the care-requiring person selects and wishes to transmit the letter "n", first, in order to transmit the blue large frame 1520, the blue band 1120 is selected by the line of sight or pointing, and then the light blue frame 1450 is selected. A light blue band 1150 is selected, such as by gaze or pointing, to convey , and a green band 1130 is selected, such as by looking or pointing, to convey green font 1330 . Also, 1140 is a yellow band, 1150 is a light blue band, and 1160 is a purple band. The color scheme and the order/arrangement of these can be arbitrary suitable for the user.

The area occupied by each of the color bands 1110 to 1160 is preferably larger than the area occupied by each character group displayed in the character group display area 4200, so that it is easy to move and fix the line of sight and pointing. It is quick and can be easily read, recognized and grasped (or guessed) by a caregiver or the like, reducing mistakes and the time and effort required for confirmation, enabling accurate and rapid communication.

As described above, there is no problem even if the same font color exists between characters with different character frame colors, but the font colors do not overlap between characters within the same frame color. shall be If they overlap, it becomes unclear which of the overlapping characters is desired to be conveyed when the intention of the color is indicated, and additional confirmation and selection will be required. From the selection of the general frame color (big concept) to the selection of the frame color for each character string (middle concept) and the selection of the font color (minor concept), there is no hesitation or confusion in each color selection at each stage. Preferably there are no overlapping colors that can occur.

6(a), 6(c) and 6(d), the font color of the characters shown in the character group display area 4200 and the frame color of each character string (corresponding to the first group enclosing frame) are The color arrangement/arrangement and the color outline (corresponding to the second group enclosing frame) are the same as those shown in FIG. Although the color band 1100 is not shown in the embodiment of FIG. 6(b), the color band 1100 can be provided separately from the color-coded dial plate 4000 for communication, for example, on a separate transparent substrate sheet or the like. However, in that it is possible to specify and transmit each character only by sorting and transmitting colors, the present invention has a certain effect.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, there are a general concept color specification step of specifying the color of the second group of enclosing frames, which is the general frame, a medium concept color specification step of specifying the color of the first group of enclosing frames for each character string, and a font color specification step. One character can be identified through three stages of color designation transmission, namely, a minor concept color designation stage that designates the color of the color. In any color designation step, a target color can be selected and designated from among the color bands arranged in the color selection area. The grouping of characters between the first and second group of enclosing frames, their sizes and frame shapes, and the number and types of characters placed in each frame can be arbitrarily adjusted so as to be user-friendly.・It can be set.

The color-coded dial for communication of the present invention is a dial on which a plurality of characters are displayed. , and letters individually displayed in different colors.

For example, the character background of each character on the dial where hiragana characters such as "A", "I", and "U" are displayed is different for each line. can be kept. In addition to or in place of such color-coded groups of character backgrounds, a color frame may be provided for each character or each group of characters so that the characters can be identified by color. By assigning a font color to each character such as "a", "i", "u", etc. in the "a" line, the character can be finally specified by the color.

In other words, the colors are designated in two or three steps, major classification → small classification or large classification → middle classification → small classification, so that all characters are specified by color, and finally one character is selected and specified. It can be so. For example, it is also possible to provide color bands or color bars corresponding to the above-mentioned color coding above and/or below the group of characters in an area larger than each character so that even those who cannot pronounce colors can use them. be. Preferably, the number of character classes included in the large classification is the largest, and the number of character classes included decreases as the classification progresses toward the middle and small classifications. In addition, preferably, the dial occupancy area of the area corresponding to the major classification is the largest, and the dial occupancy area of each corresponding area decreases as it becomes the middle classification and the small classification. .

In general, it is known that there are 46 hiragana characters in total, and if numbers and punctuation marks are included, it reaches at least 60 characters. The display area is extremely small. For this reason, it is often difficult to indicate such a small area or fix the line of sight. However, if each character can be selected and designated by two-stage or three-stage color designation, it becomes possible to express the intention of the selected character more easily, which leads to less mistakes and time saving.

Specifically, the first half 30 characters including the "a" line of the total 60 characters are surrounded by a red frame, and the second half 30 characters including the "ha" line are surrounded by a blue frame (major classification). Furthermore, inside that, the entire "A" line is surrounded by a red frame, and the entire "Ka" line is surrounded by a blue frame (middle classification). Further, the character "a" is in a red font, the character "i" is in a blue font, the character "u" is in a green font, and so on (small classification). As a result, first, as a major classification, indicate the intention of "red" (that is, specify the first half of the 30 characters), then as a middle category, indicate the intention of "red" (that is, specify the "a" line), and finally If the intention of "red" (that is, designation of "a") is indicated as a sub-classification, it is possible to indicate the intention of selecting "a" in a short time without making a mistake.

The designation in each stage from large classification to small classification is the type of color. For example, all six colors are sufficient. For this reason, it is sufficient to provide a color band, a color selection bar, etc. in the periphery of 60 characters in order to select the six colors. Furthermore, the color band and color selection bar may be prepared separately from the 60-character dial. In any case, the display area occupied by one color can be much larger than the display area occupied by one character, so selection can be performed more easily, accurately and quickly.

In addition, the color-coded dial for communication of the present invention includes characters that are grouped into at least two groups and displayed in different colors on the dial on which a plurality of characters are displayed. and a character background that is individually color-coded and displayed.

For example, the character background of each character on a keyboard dial with the alphabets "A", "B", "C", etc. displayed is divided into blocks based on the character arrangement to form "Q", "W" and "A". Each block can have a different enclosing frame color, such as a red enclosing frame having "S", "Z", and "X" as one block. Preferably, in addition to such color-coded groups (major classification) of character enclosing frames, a color frame may be provided for each other group (medium classification) of smaller characters so that they can be further distinguished by color. For each character, for example, "Q", "W", "A", "S", "Z", and "X", each character is individually given a background color (small classification), so that the color It is possible to specify the final character with .

In other words, by selecting the color in two stages of large category → small category or in three stages of large category → middle category → small category so that all colors can be used to specify individual characters, finally one character on the dial can be selected and specified. For example, color bands or color bars corresponding to the above-mentioned color coding can be placed above or below the character group, or on both sides of the character group, or on the left and right empty spaces, etc. It is also possible to set More specifically, the area occupied by the red band can be considerably larger than the area occupied by one English letter "A".

In general, it is known that there are 26 letters in the English alphabet, and if numbers, symbols, and punctuation marks are included, it reaches at least 40 letters. The display area per unit is extremely small. For this reason, it is often difficult to indicate such a small area or fix the line of sight. However, if each character can be selected and designated by two-stage or three-stage color designation, it becomes possible to express the intention of the selected character more easily, which leads to less mistakes and time saving. Although the types of colors used for such selection are arbitrary, typically six types are sufficient.

Specifically, of the keyboard display dials with more than 40 characters, ``E'', ``R'', ``D'', ``F'', ``C'', and ``V'' are set as one block and surrounded by a blue frame. ). Further, the character "E" has a red background, the character "R" has a blue background, the character "D" has a green background, and so on (small classification). As a result, if you first indicate your intention to "blue" as a major category (i.e., specify a block with a blue frame), and then indicate your intention to "red" as a minor category (i.e., specify a red background "E"), It is possible to indicate the selection intention of "E" in a short time without making a mistake.

The designation in each stage from large classification to small classification is the type of color. For example, all six colors are sufficient. For this reason, it is sufficient to provide a color band, a color selection bar, etc. in the periphery of 40 characters in order to select the six colors. Furthermore, the color band and color selection bar may be prepared separately from the 40-character dial. In any case, the display area occupied by one color can be much larger than the display area occupied by one character, so selection can be performed more easily, accurately and quickly.

Further, in the color-coded dial for communication of the present invention, preferably, the character class enclosing frame includes a first group enclosing frame that encloses a plurality of character classes as a first group in association with one color, and a first group enclosing frame. and a second group enclosing frame associated with one color as a larger second group in which a plurality of colors are bundled.

In other words, the text box is a two-step box, with the smaller group as the first group of boxes surrounded by one color, and the larger group as the second group with one color as the second group of boxes. It can be framed. Specifically, for example, on a Japanese syllabary display dial, the “A” line, “Ka” line, “Sa” line, “Ta” line, and “Na” line are set as one block, and these five lines are all red. It is a dial surrounded by a frame (large classification and typically corresponds to the second group frame).

Furthermore, inside the red frame in the block of the major classification, each character in the "a" line is surrounded by red, each character in the "ka" line is surrounded by a blue frame, and each character in the "sa" line is Enclose in a green frame, each letter in the “ta” line in a yellow frame, and each letter in the “na” line in a light blue frame, forming a double color-coded frame (middle classification). More preferably, it is also possible to set a font color or background color for each character. In this way, by changing the size of the population and setting the color frame in multiple stages, it is possible to reduce the number of color types used for identification. It is also possible to use it, and it becomes possible to express the selection intention more easily.

Further, the color-coded dial for communication of the present invention is more preferably characterized in that the characters include at least one of alphabets, hiragana, katakana, symbols, numerals, and custom.

Characters displayed on color-coded dials for communication can be letters and numbers that are commonly used in the past ("Number" or "Number" can be written to lower the display hierarchy), custom wording (restrooms, baths, etc.).・Hungry ・Wash ・Suck, etc.) can be used. Even in this case, if the dial of the present invention is used, it is possible to individually specify which type of characters to select, only by specifying the color.

Further, the color-coded dial for communication of the present invention is further preferably characterized by comprising a color selection area for the sole purpose of selecting a color corresponding to the color-coding.

Areas for indicating colors for line of sight, pointing, etc. for color selection in the upper empty space, lower empty space, upper and lower empty spaces, left and right empty spaces, etc. of characters written on color-coded dials for communication can be provided. Such a color selection area can be represented by, for example, a color band corresponding to each of the six colors. occupied area) can be provided.

For this reason, in communicating the intention of selecting a color, the user can designate and transmit the color of the larger occupied area, so that the user can easily designate the color, and the recipient can more certainly, accurately and easily select the designated color. It becomes comprehensible. It is also possible to prepare a color band board dedicated to color designation on which such a color band or the like is written as a transparent resin board or the like separately from the dial board.

Further, the color-coded dial for communication of the present invention is more preferably characterized in that each of the color selection areas has a larger occupation area than each display area of characters.

The number of types of colors is arbitrary, but if there are six colors, for example, it is sufficient if there are regions capable of displaying six colors. By using the empty space above and below the characters, it is possible to secure a considerably large display area for each color, making color selection easier and enabling accurate and quick communication of color selection. It becomes possible.

Further, the color-coded dial for communication of the present invention is more preferably characterized in that the color selection area is a color band arranged above and/or below the character display area.

Since the color band occupies a considerable area, it is easier to fix the movement of the line of sight and to point, thereby reducing concerns about causing mistakes and confusion. The color bands can be arranged above, below, or above and below the character display area, or can be arranged in empty spaces on the left and right sides of the character display area.

In addition, the selected character transmission method using the color-coded dial for communication of the present invention includes a first color selection step of selecting an arbitrary color from the colors that are grouped into at least two or more and color-coded and displayed individually; and a second color selection stage for selecting an arbitrary color from the colors of the selected characters, wherein the color selection at each stage is a color corresponding to the desired character to be selected. do.

Larger groups can be specified in the first color selection step, and smaller groups or individual characters can be individually selected in the second color selection step. For both the user and the caregiver, the mutual exchange becomes "only color" and is extremely simplified regardless of the length and complexity of the message to be conveyed, so communication errors are reduced and communication becomes easy. As a result, the transmission speed is also improved. In addition, since the colors can be reduced to about 6 colors as shown in the embodiment, it is possible to use only arbitrary colors which are favorite colors and which are easy to identify.

In addition, the selected character transmission method using the color-coded dial for communication of the present invention includes a first color selection step of selecting an arbitrary color from the colors that are grouped into at least two or more and color-coded and displayed individually; and a second color selection step for selecting an arbitrary color from the selected character background colors, wherein the color selection at each step is a color corresponding to the character type desired to be selected. and

Even in this case, a larger group can be designated in the first color selection stage, and a smaller group or individual characters can be individually selected and designated in the second color selection stage. Similarly, for both the user and the caregiver, the mutual exchange is "only color" and is extremely simplified regardless of the length and complexity of the message to be conveyed, so communication errors are reduced and communication is simple. As a result, the transmission speed is also improved. In addition, since the colors can be reduced to about 6 colors as shown in the embodiment, it is possible to use only arbitrary colors which are favorite colors and which are easy to identify.

Further, in the selected character transmission method using the color-coded dial for communication of the present invention, preferably, the color selection is performed by the caregiver reading and estimating the fixed destination of the line of sight, or uttering words or pointing. is selected by any one or more of

Conventionally, a well-known method of transmitting selected characters using a dial for communication is that the caregiver reads and estimates the fixed destination of the line of sight, or utters a word voice, or points to it. Type. The present invention can be applied to any of the three types described above, and effects can be obtained in each case. Of course, within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention, those skilled in the art can appropriately apply and utilize other methods and types, or arrange and utilize them.

Further, in the selected character transmission method using the color-coded dial for communication of the present invention, the color-coded dial for communication preferably includes a color selection area for the sole purpose of selecting a color corresponding to the color coding, The moving fixed target or pointing target is for the color selection area.

In the color selection area, for example, six colors can be arranged with corresponding footprints, for example in the form of color strips, color bands, or the like. It is also possible for the user to select and arrange only colors that are easy to identify and easy to see. Although it is possible to provide a color selection area along with the characters, it is preferable to display the color selection area in a large size so that it is easier to see by separating the upper, lower, left, and right peripheral portions of the area where the characters are arranged. The color selected using the color selection area is extremely important, since each character can be selected by color alone.

Further, the selected character transmission method using the color-coded dial for communication of the present invention is more preferably characterized in that each of the color selection areas has a larger occupation area than each display area of the characters.

On a dial face containing several tens of characters, the area that can be occupied by each individual character is greatly restricted. It can never be said that the occupied area is sufficient for moving and fixing the line of sight and pointing. On the other hand, the color identification area that can be displayed in an empty space such as a peripheral part of characters can be displayed in, for example, about six colors, and it is also possible to provide a relatively large display occupation area per color. . As a result, miscommunication of selection intention can be reduced, and smoother intention can be expressed.

Further, in the selected character transmission method using the color-coded dial for communication of the present invention, it is more preferable that the color selection area is a color band or color band arranged above and/or below the character display area. characterized by

As a typical example of the color selection area, it is preferable to use a color belt or color band larger than the display area occupied by each character, as described in the embodiments. Such color bands and color bands may be provided on a single color-coded dial for communication along with characters in the peripheral portion thereof, or may be provided on a separate transparent board or the like separately from the dial. That is, in this case, two communication dials, a character display board and a color selection board, can be used as one set.

(Example of custom display only with 4 color coding)
In this embodiment, even a person who has not mastered various characters such as hiragana, katakana, English, kanji, and Japanese can communicate his or her intentions to a third party. to explain. That is, as already explained, the custom described here includes designs, logo marks, symbols, marks, pictures, motifs, images, videos, three-dimensional stereoscopic images, three-dimensional stereoscopic images, pictograms, words, sentences, It may include any one or more of holograms, etc., and may be used to express the user's thoughts, feelings, desires, intentions, instructions, etc., or to communicate to a third party. can.

For people who have language or physical disabilities, especially gestures, the use of such a communication board may be the only means of communication with the outside world. In addition, smooth communication is often difficult between people who speak different languages because there is a linguistic barrier even for normal healthy people. In such a case, it is also possible to communicate with each other by means of various marks and designs. Any shape, structure, etc., of the communication board can be adopted.

For example, it may be configured as a plate-shaped paper or plastic resin communication board, or may be an electric/electronic display panel or a flat panel such as a liquid crystal panel or an organic EL display, projecting and presenting a three-dimensional shape. A hologram display panel configuration can also be used. In the case of three-dimensional projection, a configuration such as a so-called air selection button (non-contact space touch or virtual space touch) that enables button depression and selection without direct contact may be adopted. , AI (artificial intelligence) may be used to guess the user's intention with certain accuracy, or to guess the intention from the user's line of sight or a slight action. Also, a method of using a so-called avatar and having the avatar perform arbitrary actions, instructions, and intention communication may be adopted. For users with restrictions on physical movements, communication using avatars is particularly effective. Further, when the communication board is electronic/electrical, it may include, for example, a wireless communication section, an AI processing section, an information processing section (data processing section), a storage section, a display control section, and the like. Also, the AI processing unit, the information processing unit, the storage unit, etc. may be configured separately from the main body of the communication board, and the display data information may be received and displayed via data communication by the wireless communication unit. Wired communication may be used instead of wireless communication.

Based on the movement of the user's eyes and hands, the accumulated data up to that point, and the current state of the user, AI selects the most likely option that the user intends to express at that time. may be preferentially selected, or may be displayed and presented at an easily selectable location. In order to realize this, the communication board uses cameras and/or sensors that detect the user's line of sight and actions, artificial intelligence (AI) that analyzes and processes data obtained from the cameras and/or sensors, and the processing results. It may be provided with a display function that enables flexible two-dimensional or three-dimensional display.

The communication symbols displayed on the communication board are color-coded by any of three modes: the color of the communication symbol itself (typically the font color), the background color of the communication symbol, the color of the frame surrounding the communication symbol. By choosing and adopting, it is possible to select and communicate a specific purpose communication symbol only by specifying the color. As for the colors, for example, a total of four colors of red, blue, green, and purple may be used. The grouping and category of each color may be arranged vertically or horizontally or arbitrarily. The communication symbol may be, for example, a shower mark, a toilet mark, a meal (restaurant or knife and fork) mark, or the like. Also, the color of the surrounding frame of the communication symbols may be one frame color for each communication symbol, or a plurality of communication symbols may be grouped and the frame color of the group frame for this group may be set.

(Description of the drawings according to the additional embodiment)
FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining a configuration example of a communication board in which a background color is not used (that is, there is no background color), and the color of the frame surrounding the communication symbol and the color of the communication symbol itself are divided into four colors. FIG. 11(a) shows an example in which color selection bars (color bands) are arranged above and below the symbol arrangement area, and FIG. 11(b) shows an example in which no color selection bars (color bands) are provided. to explain. The number of colors used in this communication board is essentially arbitrary, and any number of colors can be used in any configuration. Also, as already explained, the word "custom" in the figure means that any communication symbol such as a design or logo is described or displayed there. .

As shown in FIG. 11(a), a red selection bar 11110 and a blue selection bar 11120 are shown side by side above the communication symbol display area, and a green selection bar 11130 and a purple selection bar 11160 are shown side by side below the communication symbol display area. shown in In addition, the red frame 11410 includes a red symbol 11310 (custom 1), a blue symbol 11320 (custom 5), a green symbol 11330 (custom 9), and a purple symbol 11360 (custom 13) in order from the top of the leftmost column. Each of the four communication symbols is displayed as an enclosing frame.

In addition, the blue frame 11420 includes a red symbol 11310 (custom 2), a blue symbol 11320 (custom 6), a green symbol 11330 (custom 10), and a purple symbol 11360 (custom 14) in order from the top of the second column from the left. is displayed as an enclosing frame for each of the four communication symbols with . Further, the green frame 11430 has a red symbol 11310 (custom 3), a blue symbol 11320 (custom 7), a green symbol 11330 (custom 11), and a purple symbol 11360 (custom 15) in order from the top of the third column from the left. is displayed as an enclosing frame for each of the four communication symbols with . The purple frame 11460 includes a red symbol 11310 (custom 4), a blue symbol 11320 (custom 8), a green symbol 11330 (custom 12), and a purple symbol 11360 (custom 16) in order from the top of the rightmost column. Each of the four communication symbols is displayed as an enclosing frame. That is, in the example shown in FIG. 11A, four enclosure frames of the same color are arranged vertically and four communication symbols of the same color are arranged horizontally. The user, for example, first selects the blue selection bar 11120 as the frame color, thereby narrowing down the user's intent to select any of the communication symbols custom 2, 6, 10, 14 in the blue frame 11420. , then by selecting the green selection bar 11130, the custom 10 green symbol 11330 can be selected.

In FIG. 11B, the red frame 11410 includes a red symbol 11310 (custom 1), a blue symbol 11320 (custom 5), a green symbol 11330 (custom 9), and a purple symbol in order from the top of the leftmost column. Each of the four communication symbols with symbol 11360 (custom 13) is displayed as an enclosing frame. In this example, the area occupied by each communication symbol can be increased because the space area of the color selection bar is not required.

In FIG. 11B, the blue frame 11420 includes a red symbol 11310 (custom 2), a blue symbol 11320 (custom 6), and a green symbol 11330 (custom 10) in order from the top of the second column from the left. and purple symbol 11360 (custom 14) are displayed as enclosing frames, respectively. Further, the green frame 11430 has a red symbol 11310 (custom 3), a blue symbol 11320 (custom 7), a green symbol 11330 (custom 11), and a purple symbol 11360 (custom 15) in order from the top of the third column from the left. is displayed as an enclosing frame for each of the four communication symbols with . The purple frame 11460 includes a red symbol 11310 (custom 4), a blue symbol 11320 (custom 8), a green symbol 11330 (custom 12), and a purple symbol 11360 (custom 16) in order from the top of the rightmost column. Each of the four communication symbols is displayed as an enclosing frame. That is, in the example shown in FIG. 11B, four enclosure frames of the same color are arranged vertically and four communication symbols of the same color are arranged horizontally. The user has the intention of selecting any of the communication symbols custom 2, 6, 10, 14 in the blue frame 11420, for example by first selecting the blue frame 11420 (or blue) as the frame color.
