It can be controlled. The communication unit 16 (corresponding to the second communication unit) exchanges information with the communication unit 303 of the mat 30 via radio. In addition, identification from which mat 30 the information received by the communication unit 16 can be dealt with by individually changing the encoding method of transmission or different carrier frequencies for transmission. Further, in the aspect in which bidirectional communication is performed, if the communication unit 303 of each mat 30 performs a transmission operation in response to a transmission request from the communication unit 16, there is no interference.

  As an alternative method, instead of preparing different carrier frequencies, data in which individual identification information is added to data in the same frequency band is continuously transmitted, while the communication unit 16 receives all information, It is also possible to adopt a method in which only data having valid identification information is judged to be valid and reflected in the program. Further, in the present embodiment, the communication with the mat 30 is performed wirelessly, but it may be configured to perform wired communication although it takes time for setting up and the like.

  4A and 4B are diagrams for explaining the structure of the mat holder, wherein FIG. 4A shows the first embodiment, and FIG. 4B shows the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the mat holder 4 is composed of a rectangular parallelepiped frame as a whole. That is, the width of the mat 30 and the required number, in this case, twelve of the rectangular bottom plate 41 having a size that can be erected in parallel, and the both sides of the bottom plate 41 are erected at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the bottom plate 41. 12 guide members 42 having a U-shaped cross-section that are open at the top, a frame body 43 that is coupled at both upper ends of the guide members 42 and has the same rectangular shape as the end of the bottom plate 41, and the bottom plate 41 The caster 44 for moving the mat holder 40 and the hand pressing portion 45 provided on one side in the longitudinal direction of the frame body 43 are provided.

  In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 4A, by providing the above configuration, the mat case 30 is directed from above the frame body 43 with the substrate case 300 facing downward, and the left and right ends of the mat 30 are guided to the left and right. The mats 30 can be positioned and accommodated on the horizontal bottom portions 421 of the respective guide members 42 by being lowered along the members 42 until they contact the bottom portions 421 of the guide members 42. In addition, a charging connector 422 is attached at a position on the upper surface of the horizontal bottom portion 421 at a position where the substrate case 300 of each mat 30 contacts. Thus, each connector 422 is connected to a charging plug provided on the substrate case 300 of the mat 30 to be accommodated in conjunction with the accommodating operation. Each connector 422 is bundled into an integral lead wire 46 via a well-known AC-DC converter type charging control circuit (not shown), and a plug 461 that can be connected to a socket of a commercial power source is attached to the tip. By connecting the plug 461 at the tip of the lead wire 46 to a commercial power source, the internal battery 301 is charged during mat accommodation.

  The second embodiment shown in FIG. 4B is applied when the battery 301 of the mat 30 is detachable from the substrate case 300. The mat 30 faces the substrate case 300 upward. The mat holder 4 is accommodated. Accordingly, the charging member 422 is not provided on the guide member 42, and instead of this, the charging unit 47 of the battery 301 is gathered by the number of mats accommodated at an appropriate place of the mat holder 4, in this case, the hand pressing part 45. Provided. The charging unit 47 has an insertion port 471 into which each battery 301 can be inserted, a charging electrode that can come into contact with an unillustrated electrode of the battery 301, and a well-known AC-DC converter type charging not illustrated. A control circuit is attached. Each charging circuit (not shown) of the insertion port 471 is connected to a lead wire 46 having a plug 461 that can be connected to a commercial power source at the tip. Thus, when the mat 30 is accommodated, the battery 301 is first removed from the mat 30, and the mat 30 is accommodated as it is. When the battery 301 is inserted into the insertion port 471, the plug 461 at the end of the lead wire 46 is connected to the commercial power source. Thus, the battery 301 inserted through the charging electrode of the insertion port 471 during the mat accommodation is charged.

  As described above, the mat holder 4 according to each of the above embodiments is configured so that the mats 30 can be accommodated in one place in a compact and easy manner and can be moved. This can contribute to effective use of the space on the training gym floor when training is not performed. In the case where a plurality of mats 30 are stacked and stored, if the mat 30 used by the player is on the lower side, it is difficult to pull out, but according to this structure, it is extremely smooth. Can be removed. Further, since the mats can be easily charged in the accommodated state, the series of operations including accommodation, storage, and charging can be easily performed, and the workability is extremely excellent.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the reception apparatus. The reception device 20 includes a reception CPU 21, a personal card reader 22, an antenna 23 for writing predetermined information to the transponder TP using radio waves, and a mat selection unit 24. The personal card reader 22 is arranged at the reception, and reads the personal information from the personal card in which personal information such as name, gender, age, weight, training history, etc. of the player who wishes to train is recorded at the time of admission, In addition, information such as training history is updated when the user leaves the building. The mat selection unit 24 is provided in the entrance / exit management device 2 and includes a monitor 241, a touch panel 242, and a mat selection information generation unit 243. The touch panel 242 is a publicly known one composed of a transparent pressure-sensitive thin film body, and is arranged on the screen of the monitor 241.

  The reception CPU 21 includes a personal information reading unit 211, a transponder writing unit 212, an image display control unit 213, a mat selection detection unit 214, and a string processing unit 215. The personal information reading unit 211 reads the personal information from the personal card when the personal card is inserted into a not-illustrated insertion slot of the personal card reader 22 when entering the building, and the personal card reading device 22 When the card is inserted, the personal card is made to update the training history. When the transponder writing unit 212 finishes reading the personal information from the personal card, the portable transponder TP scheduled to be handed over to the player receives information that can identify the individual (the player) via the antenna 23, such as a name and reception. At least identification information such as a number is written. In the aspect in which the receipt number is written, the accepting device 20 may associate both in order to identify the player's name using the receipt number as collation information.

  The image display control unit 213 receives the personal information from the transponder TP of the player who is going to enter the training room 1 from the entrance / exit E2 when the communication unit 3 arranged in the entrance / exit management device 2 confirms that the personal information is received. A mat identification number is displayed as a mat selection screen 241 to prompt the player to select a mat.

  In addition, as an identification number, it is good also as what displays the number same as the number printed on the actual mat | matte 30, However For example, the following aspects may be taken. That is, a plurality of characters (corresponding to the mats 30) provided corresponding to all the mats 30 are displayed on the monitor 241. Each character is displayed in association with a number, alphabet, or design (animal or the like) that identifies each mat 30. Here, it is assumed that the numbers specifying each mat 30 match those printed on the actual mat 30.

  Simultaneously with the display of the identification number, a message for selecting a mat “Select a mat to be used” is displayed on the monitor 241. The monitor 241 displays the selected mat and the unselected mat separately. For example, the identification number of the already selected mat is displayed with low luminance, and the identification number of the unselected mat is displayed with high luminance. . When the player presses one display position (for example, the numeral “7”) of the identification number of an unselected mat on the selection screen, the touch panel 242 outputs a signal of a pressed position, and selects a mat from the pressed position signal. The information generation unit 243 outputs the identification number of the selected mat to the reception CPU 21. When the mat selection information generation unit 243 receives the identification number information, the mat selection detection unit 214 confirms that the mat selection has been completed. At this point, the association between the player and the mat is completed, and a message “Your mat used is No. 7” flows on the monitor 21. Similarly, the next player selects a mat other than No. 7 selected by the player, and thereafter, the mat used by each player is determined in the same manner. Each player enters the floor of the training gym, takes out the mat 30 on which, for example, the number 7 is printed out of the mat holder 4 described above, and arranges it at a predetermined position on the floor. Alternatively, each mat may be arranged on the floor from the beginning on the store side, and the player may go to the place where his / her mat is arranged.

  When the mat selection processing unit 215 confirms the completion of the mat selection, the matching unit 215 compares the identification information of the transponder TP, the identification information of the mat, and the identification information of the transponder TP received from the communication unit 3 with the personal information. The linking process for associating the player with the mat is performed. Information associated with the player and the mat is sent to the main CPU 11.

  FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the mat 30. The mat 30 includes a mat identification information memory 305 in addition to the battery 301, the mat CPU 302, the communication unit 303, the effect notification unit 304, and the step sensors 3f to 3r described above. The mat identification information memory 305 stores an identification number for specifying the mat 30 so as to be readable. The mat CPU 302 includes a transmission information generation unit 3021, a reception information processing unit 3022, and a power check processing unit 3023. The transmission information generation unit 3021 associates the identification information read from the mat identification information memory 305 with the step detection information for the step sensors 3f to 3r at predetermined intervals (eg, several seconds), and sets the transmission unit 303 as the transmission information. Via the communication unit 16 of the control device 10.

  When receiving the special effect notification instruction signal transmitted from the communication unit 16 of the control device 10, the reception information processing unit 3022 determines whether the information is transmission information for the own mat, and uses the signal for the own mat. If there is, the effect notification unit 304 is caused to perform the effect notification process. Specifically, the effect notification unit 304 turns on or blinks if it is a light generator, outputs a player name and sound effect if it is a sound generator, and outputs sound effects if it is a vibration generator. To do. Of course, the effect notification unit 304 may include a combination of the above-described generators, or all generators.

  The power check processing unit 3023 is provided as necessary, checks the remaining capacity of the battery 301, and notifies the content indicating insufficient charging through an alarm member provided at an appropriate place in the mat 30 as necessary. It is something to make.

  FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing software of the main CPU 11 of the control device 10. The program progress control unit 111 controls the progress of the training support process in the chronological direction based on a program stored in the ROM.

  The image display control unit 112 sends a required image signal to the projector 6 via the image processor 14 and causes the projection screen 5 to project an image. The displayed images are the entry image shown in FIG. 8, the lesson-in-progress image shown in FIG. 9, the result image shown in FIG. 10, and the lesson end image shown in FIG. The entry image shown in FIG. 8 displays the lesson content, the name of the instructor, and the photographic image PI thereof, and displays each player participating in the lesson. In the display of each player, in this embodiment, eight individual display areas DA are set at predetermined positions on the screen 50 (see FIG. 8). The respective display areas DA are arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction on the left and right of the screen 50, and here are display areas DA1 to DA8 corresponding to the identification numbers 1 to 8 (in this case, the identification number of the mat 30 is 1-8). As described above, the laying position of each mat 30 is set in advance in the training room 1, and the communication unit 16 receives the identification number information from the communication unit 303 of the mat 30 laid on the floor surface. 30 can be recognized (whether or not the entry button 306 of the mat 30 has been pressed. That is, whether or not the player has placed the mat 30 on the floor and made an entry to participate in training). I have to.

In each display area DA, an identification number of the mat 30, a player name, and a display indicating whether or not the mat 30 has been laid on the floor surface, for example, in the case of completion (identification numbers 1, 2, and 4), the player name And “READY” characters are displayed, and only the mat selection is completed. In the state where the mat is not installed (identification numbers 3 and 5), the player name and “Waiting Signal” characters are displayed, and the mat selection is performed. If it is not (identification numbers 6, 7, 8), only the characters “No Entry” are displayed. The program progress control unit 111 waits for a predetermined waiting time or waits until it reaches a predetermined number of people (eight people here).

  In the in-lesson image shown in FIG. 9, reference marks RM indicating the front, rear, left, and right directions are displayed on the upper portion of the screen 50 from the left side in the order of RM1, RMb, RMf, and RMr, and corresponding sequence marks SM are respectively displayed below them. The scroll display is performed at a predetermined speed from the lower end of the screen 50 upward. In the example of FIG. 9, two sequence marks SMf corresponding to the reference mark RMf are displayed in the temporal direction (vertical direction in FIG. 9). The scroll display is realized by sequentially changing the image formation position of the sequence mark SMf upward by a predetermined address when the image formed in the display area of the RAM 13 is rewritten every predetermined period. The display timing of the sequence mark SM on the lower end of the screen 50 is determined by calculating backward from the time point coincident with the reference mark RM in consideration of the scroll speed.

  The image display control unit 112 also displays the training image of the instructor prepared in advance as a background image on the screen 50. Alternatively, a special player, for example, a player with high instantaneous responsiveness, which will be described later, among the players captured by the video camera 9 may be selectively captured, and the image may be displayed in real time. Further, the image display control unit 112 synchronizes with the coincidence timing of the reference mark RMf and the sequence mark SMf or guides the player to perform other operations at a desired time regardless of the coincidence timing, for example, a hand As a movement with respect to the movement, the image GH grasping the hand is displayed in an easy-to-understand position on the screen 50. The player is required to perform an action that pushes out the arm at the moment when this image GH is displayed (an action that performs punching), thereby making the lesson action an exercise that uses not only the lower body exercise but also the upper body, It should be more tensioned. This hand grip (movement of the hand or arm) is not particularly detected in this embodiment, but a portable acceleration sensor or the like that can be easily wrapped around the hand is put on and the detection result is displayed on the mat 30. As in the case of, if it is configured to transmit to the communication unit 16 wirelessly, it is possible to evaluate hand movements and the like.

  Returning to FIG. 7, the communication processing unit 113 identifies step-by-step detection information from the communication unit 303 of each mat 30 by using the mat identification information via the communication unit 16 and periodically captures the special detection information. Information for instructing notification of the effect is transmitted via the communication unit 16. The operation information reading unit 114 takes in the step detection information from the communication unit 303 of each mat 30 received by the communication processing unit 113 and detects the stepping operation timing and stepping position in each mat 30. The linked information fetching unit 115 fetches linked information between the player and the mat linked by the linked processing unit 215 of the receiving device 20.

  The responsiveness evaluation unit 116 determines the deviation time between the overlapping timing of the sequence mark SM and the reference mark RM and the timing at which each player actually steps the stepping position on the mat 30 indicated by the image of the sequence mark SM. It measures and evaluates responsiveness for every mat. For example, the responsiveness is highly evaluated when the player steps the corresponding stepping position on the mat 30 in accordance with the timing when the sequence mark SM overlaps the reference mark RM. Responsiveness, that is, the above-described deviation time is converted into a predetermined point (or the deviation time is used as it is as a point), and added to the previous points. The determination of which sequence mark SM the stepping operation of the mat 30 by the player corresponds to, for example, a predetermined time before and after the matching timing of each sequence mark SM and the reference mark RM If the stepping operation of the mat 30 is within the set time, the deviation time is measured, and if it is outside the setting time, the stepping operation on the mat 30 with respect to the corresponding sequence mark SM has not been performed. Can be processed as follows.

The evaluation of responsiveness is classified into ranks, and is performed in five stages, such as “AA”, “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D” in order from the highest responsiveness. As shown in FIG. 9, for example, the characters “Rank AA” are displayed in the display area DA1. Therefore, at the end of the lesson, a player with a smaller point (that is, with a shorter shift time) can obtain a higher evaluation.

In addition, the first player is extracted from the result of instantaneous response evaluation every reference evaluation time (for example, 10 seconds) during the lesson, and a special effect display is performed for the player. For example, when the player in the display area DA1 is the first player, the character “No. 1” is displayed in the display area DA1 as a special effect as shown in FIG. Similarly, in the example of FIG. 9 to be described later, the mats up to No. 3 (and hence the player) are extracted as special production targets, “No. 2” in the display area DA7 and “No. 3” in the display area DA4. "Is displayed.

The ranking processing unit 117 determines the ranking from No. 1 to a predetermined ranking from the result of the instantaneous response evaluation. The effect processing unit 118 performs a special effect display in the corresponding display area, here the display area DA1, for the player with the first instantaneous response evaluation. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the character image SG “NO.1” is displayed in correspondence with the display area DA1. In addition to the player with the instantaneous responsiveness evaluation of 1st, a special effect display may be given to a player with a predetermined rank, up to 3 in this case. In FIG. 9, the character “NO.2” is displayed in the display area DA7 corresponding to the second player whose instantaneous responsiveness evaluation corresponds to the second player, and the display area DA4 corresponding to the third player whose instantaneous responsiveness evaluation is related. “NO.3
"Is displayed.

Note that the special effect described above is to display a character image SG such as “No. 1” in each display area, but in addition to or in combination with this, the entire display area blinks or is enlarged or reduced. Display, blink or enlarge only the character image SG, erase another display area instantaneously and enlarge it to that area, or display a special image, for example, a smiling character appears in the display area Can be displayed. In short, with respect to the screen display, it is only necessary that the display is clearly different from the other display areas and the display is conspicuous in a specific display area. In the above example, the target of the special performance is specified every reference evaluation time such as 10 seconds, for example. However, when training or the like is performed according to the music, the special performance is performed at the time when one whole song is finished. You may make it identify the object of.

  The arrangement setting unit 119 is provided as necessary. For the player whose instantaneous responsiveness evaluation is No. 1, the display position of the display area DA is set to a predetermined position on the screen, in this embodiment, the screen. 50 is changed to the upper left. In this case, the display positions of the other players are sequentially lowered one by one. In FIG. 9, the display area DA corresponding to the mat with the identification number “1” is currently the upper left display position (the display position immediately before the display area DA corresponding to the mat with the identification number “1” is unknown). ). In this case, since the player's own display area moves according to the change in evaluation, the display area is displayed so that the player can clearly and immediately recognize his / her own display area in the display screen. For each player, a different background color is given to each player in advance, a predetermined pattern composed of a plurality of colors is given to the background, and the name or nickname of each player is displayed in a large part of the display area. Alternatively, any one of processes such as making the outer frame shape of the display area a circle, a triangle, a square, a star, a rhombus, or the like, or a combination thereof may be performed.

  The ROM 12 stores reference calories consumed for each step position (step type) in front, back, left, and right as table data for each sex, age, and weight, and the exercise amount evaluation unit 120 is based on exercise here. Evaluated by the amount of calories consumed. The exercise amount evaluation unit 120 reads the tread detection information from the communication unit 303 of each mat 30 received by the communication processing unit 113, extracts the presence / absence of the step and the step type for each mat 30, and calculates the reference calorie consumption for each step. Is read out and added to the current calorie consumption value. As shown in FIG. 9, the calorie consumption value of each player is displayed at a corresponding position in each display area DA. For example, “31.3 kcal” is displayed immediately above the display area DA1.

  The image display control unit 112 displays the result image shown in FIG. 10 every time a lesson for one song is completed. The totalization processing unit 121 calculates the rank of each player for each song, calculates the ranks from No. 1 to No. 3 regarding the responsiveness, calculates the calorie consumption value, and simultaneously responsiveness of all the players who have lessons. The average rank ("A" is displayed in the center of the screen 50 in FIG. 10) and the total calorie consumption value of all players (in FIG. 10, "274.9 kcal" is displayed at the bottom of the screen 50). Is calculated). Further, the totalization processing unit 121 completes a predetermined number of songs for a lesson (here, seven songs as shown in FIG. 11), that is, for a predetermined number of songs at the end of the lesson. The calculation of the average rank and the total processing of the calorie consumption value are performed. The image display control unit 112 displays the lesson end image shown in FIG. 11 using the calculation results obtained by the aggregation processing unit 121.

  As described above, since the average rank of all the players who participated in one lesson is displayed on the final screen, the member who has received this lesson is evaluated as one class. This system is assumed to be employed in a training gym, for example, and it is conceivable that participating members are fixed in advance in each lesson of each day of the week. In such a case, the gym administration side competes for the same lesson for each day of the week or between classes for each same lesson. It is also possible to paste the class name and give some merit to the first class participant in one week). If such a setting is made, the unity of members in one class will be solidified, and this will lead to the fixation of participating members, which contributes to securing members for the gym. Therefore, this system is not only fun for the player but also beneficial for the gym operator.

  The video camera control unit 122 generates a direction switching (horizontal or vertical direction) signal for aligning the direction of the video camera 9 with the direction of the mat 30 of the first player obtained by the responsiveness evaluation unit 116, and sends it to the switching unit 91. Output. The switching unit 91 has previously set the laying positions of the mats 30 as described above, adjusts the video camera 9 to face each player in advance, and acquires the horizontal and vertical direction information in advance. Can be processed. When there are two video cameras 9, the player responsible for each video camera 9 is set in advance, and the video camera control unit 122 sets the mat 30 of the first player obtained by the response evaluation unit 116. Information is obtained, and control is performed so as to adjust the direction of the corresponding video camera 9 and send the captured image to the communication unit 16.

  12 and 13 are flowcharts for explaining the processing of the main CPU 11 of the control device 10. First, if reception information is received from the reception device 20 and further an entry signal is received from the mat 30, reception processing is performed (step S 1), and entry image display is updated on every reception (step S 1). S3). Next, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed or a predetermined number of people has been reached (step S5). If not, the reception process of receiving information is continued until a predetermined time elapses or a predetermined number of people are reached.

  When a predetermined time elapses or the predetermined number of people is reached, the performance of the first music piece of the lesson music is started (step S7), and the display of the guide image GG corresponding to the music is started in synchronization with this. (Step S9). Next, the reception information from each mat 30 received by the communication unit 16 is captured (step S11). If the received reception information includes step detection information indicating that the stepping motion is present, a time difference between the reference mark RM and the sequence mark SM and the step detection time is calculated for each mat (step S13). Then, the response point is calculated from the calculated shift time of each mat and added (integrated) to the current point value of the corresponding mat (step S15). If there is no step detection information indicating that there is a stepping motion, the processing here is skipped.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds as described above) has elapsed (step S17). If not, the process skips to step S27. Ranking setting is performed (step S19), and then arrangement setting of the display area DA corresponding to each mat is performed (step S21). Subsequently, the players with the instantaneous response point evaluation of 1 to 3 in a predetermined time (here 10 seconds) are extracted (step S23) and correspond to each of the players from 1 to 3. The special effect image SG is displayed in the display area DA (step S25). Next, the calorie consumption value is calculated for each mat 30 from the tread detection information in each mat 30, and the integration process is performed (step S27).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not one of the lesson songs has been completed (step S29). If completed, the process returns to step S17 and the same processing is continued. On the other hand, when the lesson song ends, the evaluation result for the song is calculated and the result image shown in FIG. 11 is displayed (step S31).

  Next, it is determined whether or not there are remaining music pieces of the lesson music (step S33). If there are remaining music pieces, the next music piece is set (step S35), and the process returns to step S7. Processing is executed. On the other hand, if all the songs constituting the lesson song have been completed, the total evaluation is performed and the lesson end image shown in FIG. 12 is displayed (step S37).

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the operation of the reception CPU 21. First, an interrupt process for the mat selection unit 24 is permitted (step S51), and it is determined whether or not a personal card is inserted into the personal card reader 22 (step S53), and a personal card is inserted. The personal information is read from the personal card (step S55). Next, predetermined personal information is written in the memory of the transponder TP (step S57). Next, the presence / absence of a mat selection input is determined (step S59). If there is no mat selection input, the process passes. If there is a mat selection input, a stringing process is executed (step S61), and stringing information is transferred to the main CPU 11. (Step S63), the process ends.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the interrupt process. When the entrance / exit management device 2 detects the presence of the transponder TP carried by the player in the communication unit 3 (step S71), a mat selection screen is displayed on the monitor 241 (step S73). Next, it is determined whether or not a mat selection input by the player is detected via the touch panel 242 (step S75). The process waits until it is determined. When the mat selection input is detected, this flow is terminated.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a calculation process of calorie consumption. First, the step type is determined from the step detection information for each mat 30 received by the communication unit 16 (step S81), and the step type is determined according to the weight, sex, and age of each player extracted from the personal information. The basic calorie consumption value is read from the table memory in the ROM 12, and this reference calorie value is added to the current calorie consumption value of the corresponding mat 30 (that is, the player) (step S83).

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the step detection process in the mat CPU 302. First, a power check process is executed (step S91), and then the presence / absence of a detection signal from any of the step sensors Sf, Sb, S1, and Sr is determined (step S93). Information is created as tread detection information (step S95), and a transmission instruction is given at a predetermined time (step S101). On the other hand, if there is a detection signal, the step position is determined (step S97), step detection information indicating the step position and detection is created (step S99), and a transmission instruction is given at a predetermined time (step S99). S101).

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a special effect notification process in the mat CPU 302. First, the presence / absence of information received from the communication unit 303 is determined (step S111). On the other hand, if there is reception information, it is determined whether the information is for the mat 30 of its own (step S113). If it's not for your own mat, just go through. On the other hand, if the received information is for the own mat, an operation instruction signal for special effect notification is generated and output to the effect notification unit 304 (step S115).

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart for explaining an original creation process of a guide image related to the stepping position of the mat. This process may be performed by the instructor using the control device 10 or may be performed using another computer. First, one unit music piece is selected from a plurality of unit music pieces stored in advance in the memory unit, for example, several tens to several hundreds (step S121), and the unit music piece is output through a speaker or the like. That is, it is played (step S123). At the same time, a screen for creating a step is displayed on a monitor or the like, and predetermined four keys (for example, F (front), B (back), L (left), and R (right)) of the keyboard are used. The step position input process is permitted (step S125). Next, it is determined whether or not the performance of the unit music has been completed (step S127). If not completed, the process returns to step S125 and the same processing is continued. On the other hand, if the first unit music is completed, it is determined whether or not the next unit music has been selected (step S129). Once performed (step S131), the process proceeds to step S123. On the other hand, if the next unit music is not selected, it is assumed that the original creation process is completed, and the unit music selected so far is connected and created as one music (original music) for the lesson, and the required memory Stored in the department. Note that the unit music stored in advance is, for example, about several minutes to several tens of minutes. If the lesson time is about 1 hour, one lesson music is created by using several or more than ten unit music. (In the example shown in FIG. 11, there are seven songs). Some unit musical pieces have preset step positions as defaults, which can be selected as appropriate. In this case, the step position input process may be performed in order to appropriately change the step position, or when there is no change, the creation process is skipped and only the association process for connection is performed. That's fine.

  In an aspect created by a computer different from the control device 10, the created original music piece may be written in the ROM 12 of the control device 10, or downloaded from an external recording medium and an unillustrated recording medium of the control device 10. It is possible to perform with the control device 10 via a drive.

  Note that the present invention can employ the following modifications.

  (1) The motion information processing system shown in the present embodiment can be applied not only for training but also for games.

  (2) In the present embodiment, the mat has a substantially quadrangular shape. However, the shape of the mat is not limited to this, and may be circular. Moreover, although the step positions are four places on the front, rear, left and right, an oblique position may be included, or a desired number of step positions may be set around the center home position. Further, the home position need not be limited to the center position of the mat.

  (3) As another form of the mat, it is possible to adopt a form in which the shape is long and the movement of the player is guided in the longitudinal direction. If a ladder mat shown in FIGS. 20 (a) and 20 (b) is used, the present invention can be applied to training involving movement in the longitudinal direction. The mat 130 in FIG. 20A is a type that induces movement at intervals of a width that allows the long mat 130 to walk sideways in the longitudinal direction. The structure of the mat 130 in the thickness direction is the same as that shown in FIG. 3, and the electrodes corresponding to the common electrode 33 are laid over the entire length in the longitudinal direction, while the electrodes corresponding to the individual electrodes 32 are arranged in the longitudinal direction. The grid structure is divided by predetermined dimensions. Accordingly, it is possible to detect the stepping motion for each square in the longitudinal direction. A plurality of players stand on the long mat 130 at predetermined grid intervals, while a guide image of a step indicating a side walk is displayed on the projection screen 5. Only the reference marks RMl and RMr and the sequence marks SMl and SMr in the guide image shown in FIG. 9 are sufficient as the guide image, and the responsiveness can be evaluated by scroll display as in FIG. Alternatively, a sign may be written for each required number of step positions corresponding to the play area for one player, each step position may be treated as an absolute position, and a mark corresponding thereto may be used as a guide image. For example, assuming that six consecutive step positions are for one player, the letters “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, “E”, and “F” are in each square of the mat 130 (as absolute positions). The character image may be scrolled as a guide image.

  The mat 230 shown in FIG. 20B is a type in which long mats 230 are provided in two lanes in parallel to induce movement that can move forward and backward in the longitudinal direction. The structure of the mat 230 in the thickness direction is the same as that shown in FIG. 3, and the electrodes corresponding to the common electrodes 33 are laid over the entire length in the longitudinal direction, while the electrodes corresponding to the individual electrodes 32 are arranged in the longitudinal direction. The grid structure is divided by predetermined dimensions. Accordingly, it is possible to detect the stepping motion for each square in the longitudinal direction. A plurality of players stand on the long mat 230 with a predetermined grid interval, while a guide image that prompts the left and right feet to move forward and backward is displayed on the projection screen 5. The guide image may be an image that guides the reference marks RMf and RMb and the sequence arcs SMf and SMb in the guide image shown in FIG. 9 to the left and right feet, and is scrolled and displayed as in FIG. Evaluation is possible. In addition, the aspect handled as an absolute position is also employable similarly to the above.

  In the detection of the step position in FIGS. 20 (a) and 20 (b), whether or not the movement with respect to the guide image is appropriate is determined from the background of the detection signal of the current step position and the next step position in an aspect that is not treated as an absolute position. You just have to do it. Such mats 130 and 230 are suitable as exercise tools for rehabilitation and care training tools, and can be used in care and rehabilitation facilities. It can also be applied as a game for children and infants.

  (4) In addition, the detection of the movement of the human body may be performed with respect to the movement of the hand or arm in addition to the stepping action of the foot as in the present embodiment. For example, the mat 30 is manufactured with a smaller size, and a plurality of patients sitting in a chair or the like tap the position guided by the guide image with respect to their small mats by hand while looking at the guide image. It is good also as an aspect which it plays while nurturing reflexes. As a display used in such a case, in addition to a projection screen on which an image is displayed by a liquid crystal projector, for example, a large television monitor or the like is used for training in a small space limited to a certain extent such as a hospital room. It may be used.

  (5) In the present embodiment, the display area DA corresponding to the first to third players for instantaneous response evaluation is changed to a specific position, but only the first player or all of them may be displayed. It is possible to calculate the ranks of the players and change and display the display positions of all the display areas DA according to the ranks. Note that placing all the players according to the evaluation order, for example, from the top to the bottom of the screen may impair the willingness to exercise for the player placed at a lower position. Therefore, arrange all the players according to the evaluation order. Instead, it is preferable to display only a predetermined superior, for example, three people as “current best 3” at the top of the screen.

  (6) In the present embodiment, the special effect display is performed on the screen 50 of the projection screen 5 on the control device 10 side, but instead of this or in conjunction with this, the speaker 8 is used, for example, “ (Your name is first! ") You may be allowed to pronounce the player name or nickname. In this case, the standard sentence data such as “You are the first!” Or “Excellent!” After the name is stored in the ROM 12 in advance, and the result of the stringing process is received when displaying special effects. The main CPU 11 creates a sentence connecting these fixed sentences following the player name and nickname stored in the RAM 13 and causes the speaker 8 to pronounce the sentence. When calling as a special performance, the volume of the music being trained is reduced or silenced in conjunction with the call process so that the call can be heard clearly by each player. It may be. As described above, in a mode in which special effect notification is performed only on the control device 10 side (display on the screen 50 or notification by the speaker 8), the information communication method is one-way communication from the mat 30 to the control device 10. Since it can be realized, the configuration is simplified accordingly.

  (7) Moreover, in the aspect which performs special effect notification to the effect notification unit 304 of the mat 30, the information communication method is bidirectional communication between the mat 30 and the control device 10. In this case, since the player gives a special performance notification on his / her mat 30 (at his / her feet), the motivation can be enhanced. Furthermore, since the player performs the performance at a location close to his / her body such as his / her foot or hand, the player can be sure even if he / she does not visually recognize his / her display area DA on the display at a remote location. In addition, the evaluation can be recognized more sensibly. In addition, the object to be recognized is any one of light, sound, vibration, or any combination thereof, and the player does not confirm special effects by visual recognition. You can recognize your evaluation while concentrating on. Similarly, the configuration of the above item (6) also provides an effect that it is easy to concentrate on training or the like. In addition, in the aspect which employ | adopted the light generator for the production | presentation alerting | reporting part 304, the method by which a display aspect is continuously changed is employ | adopted as the production method with respect to the mats from No. 1 to No. 3 of instantaneous response evaluation. Also good. For example, the higher the order of the blinking period of the light, the higher the speed, and the higher the brightness and the change of the color may be changed according to the order.

  (8) In this embodiment, the mat 30 and the player are linked by the transponder TP and the mat selection unit 24 of the accepting device 20, but instead, the mat 30 has a function of authenticating the transponder TP. It is good also as an aspect. That is, the mat 30 has an antenna for reading the personal information written in the memory of the transponder TP and a storage unit for temporarily storing the read personal information. When the player presses the entry button 306 of the mat 30, the stored information is stored. A transmission signal is generated by associating the personal information with the mat identification information, and the transmission signal is transmitted to the control device 10 side via the communication unit 303 and the communication unit 16 of the mat 30. It becomes possible to recognize the association of the player. According to this aspect, the player does not need to select a mat in the entry / exit management device 2, and usability is improved. As another mode, the attendant or the instructor himself / herself hears the name and the identification information of the mat 30 from each player before starting the lesson, and directly inputs them by using an input unit such as a keyboard provided in the control device 10. The controller 10 may recognize the mat 30 and the player.

  (9) In this embodiment, on the result screen and lesson end screen shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the average of the responsiveness evaluation ranks of all the players and the total of the calorie consumption values are displayed, but are divided into predetermined groups. You may make it display. For example, according to the laying position of the mat 30 in the training room, for example, the left and right groups may be grouped, and the average of the responsiveness evaluation rank and the total of the calorie consumption values may be displayed for each group. In this way, a group of players who train at the same time can be united and more competitive.

  (10) In the present embodiment, the laying position of each mat 30 is set in advance, but instead of this, it is possible to adopt a mode of laying at an arbitrary position. In this case, the communication unit 16 of the control device 10 and the communication unit 303 of the mat 30 may have a wide range of directivity. In addition, when capturing a specific player by the video camera 9, the feature points on the surface of each mat 30, for example, patterns or the like are individually different, and the captured images of these mats 30 are registered in advance. What is necessary is just to make it identify each mat | matte 30 by employ | adopting a well-known pattern recognition technique from the captured image of each mat | matte 30 imaged at the time of training. Thereby, since the laying position of each mat 30 can be specified, the direction of the video camera 9 can be controlled so that a specific player (mat 30) can be imaged. According to this aspect, the player can perform the training by placing the mat selected by the entrance / exit management device 2 in his / her favorite place instead of the place designated in advance on the gym floor. The trouble of confirming the location is eliminated, the usability is improved, and the user's preference can be reflected, and satisfaction is obtained.
