Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, an athletic competition management system, and an athletic competition management method.

  In the Tokyo Marathon (registered trademark) for 4 years from 2007 to 2010, the reasons why runners receive relief are pain in leg muscles and joints (64.7%) and abrasions such as shoe rubs (11.2%) Data such as hypothermia (13.9%), dehydration (6.6%), cardiopulmonary arrest (1.0%), and others (2.6%) are available (see Non-Patent Document 1). In particular, hypothermia, dehydration, and cardiopulmonary arrest are life-threatening symptoms, and the marathon organizers need to pay close attention, increasing the cost of appropriate rescue measures. ing.

  During exercise, various studies have been conducted on the environmental temperature, the amount of sweat, the amount of drinking water, the rate of dehydration, the degree of increase in body temperature, and the degree of burden on the living body in terms of the heart rate response. There is a significant correlation between the rate of dehydration, the amount of water consumed, the frequency of drinking, and the degree of body temperature rise. In addition, there was a significant correlation between dehydration rate and ambient temperature (black bulb temperature, WBGT), sweating volume, drinking frequency, body temperature elevation, average heart rate, and body temperature elevation, drinking water, and sweating volume. It has been. There is a view that when the environmental temperature is high, the amount of sweating and drinking water will increase, and if the dehydration rate increases, the burden on the living body will increase, such as an increase in heart rate and temperature rise.

  Therefore, it is important that appropriate hydration can be provided in outdoor competitions such as marathon competitions, but it is difficult to determine whether each runner has sufficient water supply. I had to choose a coping therapy method. For example, in the Tokyo Marathon (registered trademark) in 2011, a large-scale emergency medical system was formed by a rescue center, a BLS unit, a mobile unit, and a running doctor (see Non-Patent Document 2).

For example, if the temperature distribution around the course is 30 minutes before, the distribution is as shown in FIG. 7A, and the current distribution is as shown in FIG. 7B. Although the temperatures of A, B, and D have not changed, the temperatures of areas C, E, F, and G have decreased. In such a case, for example, after 30 minutes, the environment predicting unit 22 does not change the temperatures of the areas A, B, and D as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7 (D), the temperature in Areas A, B, and D does not change and the temperatures in Areas C, E, F, and G further decrease after one hour. It may be predicted.

  The terminal data acquisition unit 27 continuously acquires the position information, biological information, water supply identification information, and the like of each athlete from each information terminal 5 through the communication unit 34 together with the identification ID (terminal ID). A process of storing in the storage unit 30 in association with the identification ID assigned for each is performed.

  The supply history information generation unit 28 performs a process of generating supply history information indicating whether or not each athlete has supplied water at each water supply point that has passed so far. Specifically, the supply history information generation unit 28 acquires the position information of each athlete and the water supply identification information of the water supply point to which each athlete has supplied water from the terminal data acquisition unit 22, and the position information and the Based on the identification information, supply history information of each competitor is generated.

Further, the risk prediction information generation unit 23 corrects the limit points and arrival times of the respective athletes using the prediction results of the environment prediction unit 22 and the supply history information of the respective athletes.

  For example, if it is predicted that the environment ahead of the athlete will be severer than the current environment, the athlete's physical wear level will be greater than the present, so the danger prediction information generation unit 23 determines the limit point of the athlete. The arrival time is corrected to an earlier time at a point closer to the front. On the other hand, if it is predicted that the environment ahead of the athlete will be easier than the current environment, the athlete's physical wear level will be smaller than the current situation. Is corrected to a later point and the arrival time is corrected to a later time.

  Even if the environment in front of the competitor is not different from the current environment, if the number of hydration up to now is small or if the elapsed time since the last replenishment is long, Since it is large, the danger prediction information generation unit 23 corrects the player's limit point to a point before and the arrival time to an earlier time. On the contrary, when the number of hydration up to now is appropriate or when the elapsed time since the last replenishment is short, the athlete's physical wear level is small, so the risk prediction information generation unit 23 The person's limit point is corrected to a later point, and the arrival time is corrected to a later time.

  These correction amounts are determined in accordance with the predicted degree of environmental change, the number of times each athlete has replenished water, the timing of replenishment, and the like. Then, the danger prediction information generation unit 23 predicts each athlete's danger position and danger time from the corrected limit points and arrival times of each athlete, and generates danger prediction information including these pieces of information.

  The supply support information generation unit 29 performs a process of generating supply support information for supporting each athlete's hydration from the prediction result of the environment prediction unit 22 and the supply history information. For example, if the temperature in front of the athlete is predicted to increase rapidly, the amount of sweating of the athlete will increase, so if the athlete's hydration to date is not sufficient, the supplementation support information generating unit 29 will You may generate | occur | produce the supply assistance information which instruct | indicates that a water should be replenished at the next water supply point. In addition, for example, when the hydration up to the present time of the athlete is excessive, the supply support information generation unit 29 generates supply support information instructing that water should not be supplied at the next water supply point. Also good.
