FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a display pattern on the output unit 18 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, the electronic device 1 of the present embodiment is configured to notify the user by displaying necessary information in the display area 181 and the display area 182 according to the user's action state. .
In the present embodiment, since the electronic device 1 is a smart watch as an example, a configuration is adopted in which the sensor information is displayed with the chronograph area when the clock is displayed as the display area 181 and the display area 182.

  The processor 11 uses the data of the biometric information of the user acquired by the biometric sensor 111 and the data of the external environment acquired by the environment sensor 112 to calculate the user's motion from an input data table shown in FIG. Determine the state and external environment. The data of the user's biological information acquired by the imaging sensor 113 and the data of the external environment may be added to determine the exercise state of the user and the external environment.

Using the determined exercise state of the user and the external environment, an action state of the user is determined from an action state determination table shown in FIG. 4A described later, and a sensor information selection table shown in FIG. Sensor information is selected based on the sensor information.
After that, by displaying the selected sensor information in the display area 181 and the display area 182 shown in FIG. 2A, necessary sensor information is notified according to the action state of the user.

For example, if the user's action state is determined to be “walking” as a result of referring to the action state determination table shown in FIG. In the table, sensor information of “number of steps” and “calorie consumption” is selected.
Thereafter, as in the display state shown in FIG. 2B, the “step count” information is displayed in the display area 181 in FIG. 2A, and the “calorie consumption” information is displayed in the display area 182. The user is notified.

  Further, the display mode on the output unit 18 is not limited to the one in which the analog hands are simultaneously displayed as shown in FIG. 2A, and for example, digital display without the hands as shown in FIG. 2D is performed. In such a case, the display processing can be performed.

In FIG. 2A, two display areas are set in the area of the output unit 18. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and more display areas can be set in the area of the output unit 18. May be.
With the configuration described above, the user can visually recognize more sensor information at a time.

  FIG. 3A shows an example of the data structure of the input data table 121a in which the user's exercise state determined based on the biological information acquired from the biological sensor 111 is shown in FIG. 3B. An example of the data structure of the input data table 121b set based on the external environment information acquired from the respective tables is shown.

  According to the input data table 121a in FIG. 3A, the user's exercise state such as “walk” or “still” can be acquired from the biological information such as the heartbeat, pulse, and operation log acquired from the biological sensor 111. These pieces of information are set in the input data table 122a of the storage unit 19 under the control of the processor 11. In addition, by having the environment information acquired from the environment sensor 112 or the GPS trajectory and the map data, it is possible to check the altitude and other geographical attributes of certain position information. For example, it is possible to determine whether the user is currently on a road, or in a mountain, lake, sea, or the like, and furthermore, at an altitude of at least ○ m, in a road / in a building, near a mountain, or on a lake. These pieces of information are set in the input data table 122b of the storage unit 19 under the control of the processor 11.

  4A shows an example of the data structure of the action state determination table 122a stored in the storage unit 19, and FIG. 4B shows the data structure of the sensor information selection table 122b also stored in the storage unit 19. An example of the data structure is shown. FIG. 4A is a table composed of a matrix of the exercise state and the external environment stored in the input data table, and is used to determine the current user's action state. FIG. 4B is a table used to select a combination of sensor information (display information 1 and display information 2) necessary for the user in the action state. In each case, the exercise state (input data table 121a) set in the input data table 121 and the external environment (input data table 121b) are determined or predicted.

  According to the action state determination table 122a of FIG. 4A, if the exercise state of the input data table 121a is “walk” and the external environment of the input data table 121b is “on the road”, the action state of the user is “ If the exercise state is “walking” and the external environment is “mountain”, or “the altitude increase / decrease is at least m / h”, the user's behavior state is “hiking”. Is determined. The determination is made by the processor 11. Further, if the exercise state of the input data table 121a is “still”, the behavior state of the user is determined to be “rest” regardless of the external environment of the input data table 121b. Further, when the exercise state of the input data table 121a is “there is a specific arm movement”, the external environment of the input data table 121b is “mountain”, “lake”, and “sea”. It is determined to be "fishing".

Note that, in the action pattern determination table 122a illustrated in FIG. 4A, the mark x indicates an action pattern that cannot normally occur.
However, this is only an example, and the action pattern to which the present invention can be applied is not limited to the description of the action pattern determination table 122a, and the action pattern may be configured to be arbitrarily inputtable at the mark x.

  The sensor information selection table 122b shown in FIG. 4B is a table for selecting sensor information according to the action state. That is, if the determined or predicted action state of the user is “walking”, the sensor information necessary for the user is estimated to be “steps” and “calorie consumption”. It is set to notify the user. Further, when the behavior pattern is determined to be “running”, the sensor information necessary for the user is estimated to be “speed” and “calorie consumption”, so that the two data are set to be notified to the user. ing.

  Also, if the user's action state is “fishing”, the sensor information necessary for the user is estimated to be “weather” and “barometric pressure”, so that these two data are set to be notified to the user. ing. Note that, in the sensor information selection sensor control table 122b shown in FIG. 4B, a combination of sensor information necessary for the user is determined in advance, but the combination may be arbitrarily set by the user. Often, with such a configuration, it is possible to more reliably report sensor information necessary for the user.

  In the above-described configuration, when sensor information suitable for the user's action state is selected in the sensor information selection table 122b, the electronic device 1 activates a sensor necessary for acquiring the selected sensor information, and outputs an unnecessary sensor. May be configured to be stopped.

  In addition, in the above-described sensor control configuration, it is assumed that a sensor necessary for determining the action state of the user is not necessary for acquiring the selected sensor information in order to repeatedly perform the selection and notification processing of the sensor information. May not be stopped.

FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram showing a functional configuration for executing a notification process among the functional configurations of the electronic device 1.
The notification process refers to a series of processes in which the electronic device 1 notifies a user of necessary information from information acquired from a sensor or an external device when an action state of the user is estimated.
The “notification process” includes “action state determination process based on operation state and environment information” and “sensor information selection process based on action state”.

  When performing the notification process, as illustrated in FIG. 5, in the processor 11, the action state determination unit 51, the sensor control unit 52, and the notification control unit 53 function to perform a notification process to the user. .

  In one area of the storage unit 19, an action state storage unit 71 and a sensor information storage unit 72 are set.

The action state storage unit 71 stores an action state determination table 122a for determining the user's action state based on the sensor information acquired from the sensor unit 16, and also stores information on the tendency of the user's action state determination result. .
The sensor information storage unit 72 stores a sensor information selection table for selecting sensor information to be notified according to the user's action state, and changes information when the user changes a combination of sensor information stored in advance. Is stored as change tendency information of the user.

  The behavior state determination unit 51 analyzes the state of the electronic device 1 from the sensor information acquired by the sensor unit 16, and determines the behavior state of the user carrying the electronic device 1 in the behavior state storage unit 71. Judge based on the table.

  The sensor control unit 52 activates a sensor necessary to acquire sensor information corresponding to the behavior state of the user determined by the behavior state determination unit 51, and performs control such that sensors not related to the behavior state determination are stopped. Do.

  The notification control unit 53 acquires sensor information corresponding to the user's behavior determined by the behavior status determination unit 51 from the sensor information storage unit 72, and outputs and reports the sensor information via the output unit 18.

  Hereinafter, the operation (notification process) of the electronic device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 6 will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. Each step described below can be realized by causing a computer to execute a corresponding program.

(basic action)
FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a basic operation of the electronic device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. According to FIG. 6, in the electronic device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the biological sensor 111 of the sensor unit 16 detects the user's physical condition data (biological information), This is sent to the determination unit 51 (step S100). Next, the environment sensor 112 detects the external environment data (environment information), and the processor 11 acquires this and hands it over to the action state determination unit 51 (step S101). At this time, the behavior state determination unit 51 also acquires GPS and other data detected by the environment sensor 112. The order of measurement and acquisition of biological information and environmental information is arbitrary, and it is assumed that the information is acquired in the order detected by each sensor.

  The behavior state determination unit 51 of the processor 11 determines the user's behavior state based on the behavior state determination table 122 stored in the behavior state storage unit 71 (Step S102). In determining the behavior state, the behavior state determination unit 51 uses the exercise state shown in the input data tables 121a and 121b and the data suitable for the user state from the external environment based on the biological information and the environment information acquired from the sensor unit 16. Search for. Then, the action state determination table 122a is indexed based on the exercise state and the external environment detected from the input data table 121. For example, when the exercise state set in the input data table 121a is “walk” and the external environment set in the input data table 121b is “on the road”, the action state determination unit 51 sets the action state determination table 122a Based on this, the action state of the user is determined to be “walking”.

  Subsequently, the behavior state determination unit 51 performs a learning process of the behavior history based on the determination result (Step S105). The behavior state determination unit 51 controls so that the learning result is reflected on the typical behavior pattern stored in the behavior pattern determination table 122a and stored as the behavior tendency of the user. That is, the action history is sequentially updated in accordance with the action of the user, and the action state is predicted with higher accuracy with reference to the updated action tendency.

Subsequently, the notification control unit 53 receives the determination result of the behavior state determination unit 51, and performs a process of selecting sensor information corresponding to the determined behavior state of the user. (Step S105).
A specific processing flow will be described later using the flowchart of FIG.

After the sensor information selection process by the notification control unit 53, the sensor control unit 52 performs a sensor control process of the sensor unit 16, activates sensors necessary for the notification process, and stops sensors unnecessary for the notification process. (Step S106)
For example, based on the sensor information selected by the notification control unit 53, the sensor control unit 52 activates sensors necessary for the notification process. Further, it is checked whether or not an unnecessary sensor that is not related to the acquisition of the selected sensor information and is not related to the action state determination is activated. If it is determined that the unnecessary sensor is activated, the unnecessary sensor is determined. Stop the sensor.

The notification control unit 53 notifies the user by outputting the sensor information selected in step S105 to the output unit 18. (Step S107)
For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, the notification control unit 53 displays the selected sensor information in the display areas 181 and 182 of the display, thereby notifying the sensor information necessary according to the user's action state. .

After performing the notification process to the user, the behavior state determination unit 51 determines whether or not the behavior state of the user has changed based on the sensor information from the sensor unit 16. (Step S108)
If it is determined in step S108 that there is a change in the behavior state of the user, the process returns to step 101, and the notification process is performed again.
If it is determined in step S108 that there is no change in the behavior state of the user, the process proceeds to step S109.

In step S109, it is determined whether or not an operation for ending the notification process has been detected.
For example, when the user inputs an operation to end the notification process to the input unit 17 or when the operation input from the user and the operation information of the user are not detected for a long time, the electronic device 1 ends the notification process. .
If the above-described end operation has not been detected, the process returns to step S107.

(Sensor information selection processing)
With reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, the flow of the sensor information selection process performed by the notification control unit 53 according to the user's action state will be described in detail.

First, in step S103, sensor information corresponding to the user's action state determined by the action state determination unit 51 is selected. (Step S200)
For example, the notification control unit 53 selects sensor information corresponding to the determined action state of the user with reference to the sensor information selection table 122b stored in the sensor information storage unit 72. For example, when the action state of the user is determined to be running, “speed” and “calorie consumption”, which are combinations of sensor information corresponding to running, are selected from the sensor information selection table 122b.

Next, it is determined whether a change history by the user is stored for the selected combination of sensor information. (Step S201)
For example, the notification control unit 53 refers to the sensor information storage unit 72 to determine whether or not there is information regarding a change history indicating whether or not the user has performed a sensor information change process for the selected combination of sensor information. Confirm.
If it is determined that the above-mentioned change history is recorded, the process proceeds to step S202.
If it is determined that the change history is not recorded, the process returns to the basic operation flow.

In step S202, the notification control unit 53 changes the combination of the sensor information according to the change history of the sensor information by the user.
For example, the notification control unit 53 refers to a change history of sensor information by the user, changes a predetermined combination of sensor information to a combination of sensor information changed by the user, and returns to the basic operation flow.

  With the configuration described above, in the electronic device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the behavior state determination unit 51 selects the sensor information suitable for the user's behavior state with reference to the behavior state storage unit 71 that stores the behavior state. In such a case, information necessary for the user can be automatically provided to the user in accordance with the user's action state. Therefore, the user can automatically obtain necessary information corresponding to various actions of the user without trouble of manually selecting necessary information from various information.

In the present embodiment, the configuration is such that the combination of the predetermined sensor information is changed to the combination of the sensor information changed by the user with reference to the change history of the sensor information by the user. For a combination of sensor information that is not performed, the change history recorded in another combination of sensor information may be reflected to change to a combination of sensor information that suits the user's preference.
For example, when the combination of “steps” and “calorie consumption” corresponding to “walking” is frequently changed to “steps” and “temperature” by the user, the case where the user's action is determined to be “running” May be changed to a combination of “speed” and “temperature” to be notified.

Note that, in this embodiment, after the user's action state is detected, the sensor information to be notified is selected and displayed, and then, when a change in the action state is detected again, the sensor information to be notified is switched. However, it is not limited to this.
Once the user's action state is detected and the sensor information to be notified is selected and displayed, a change in the user's action state may not be detected for a certain period of time.

In this embodiment, the combination of the sensor information corresponding to the determined action state is configured to be displayed. However, all or a plurality of displayable sensor information is displayed, and the sensor information corresponding to the action state is displayed. May be configured to be highlighted.
For example, among a plurality of displayed sensor information, a display area of the sensor information corresponding to a user's action state is displayed wider than other sensor information, or a display with a higher brightness than other sensor information is performed. , At a position more conspicuous than other sensor information (the center of the display area, the upper part, etc.).

  Note that the sensor unit 16 in the present embodiment may be configured to include a biological sensor and an environmental sensor having different accuracy. For example, when the determined action state of the user is an action state in which it is desirable to display high-accuracy sensor information, the sensor information acquired by the sensor with the higher accuracy may be preferentially displayed. Further, when the determined behavior state of the user is a behavior state in which it is desirable to use a sensor with low power consumption, information acquired by a sensor with low accuracy and low power consumption is preferentially displayed. Is also good.

In addition, you may comprise so that a user may be alert | reported that the action state of the user changed by sound or light.
For example, when it is determined that the user's action state has changed from "walking" to "running", the notification by voice that "the action state has changed" or the notification by light emission of a light emitting member included in the electronic device is performed. It may be configured to notify the user that the action has changed and the sensor information to be notified has changed.

  In the present embodiment, the sensor that is not necessary to acquire the sensor information selected based on the user's action state is configured to be stopped. (Sensing frequency) may be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the output unit is configured to notify the user of the sensor information by displaying the sensor information on the display, but the present invention is not limited to this. You may comprise so that it may notify by outputting.

  In the present embodiment, the above-described function is implemented in one electronic device. However, sensor information obtained by the electronic device is sent to the server to determine the action state, and the sensor information based on the result is determined. May be configured to perform the above-described processing between a plurality of devices so that the notification process is performed by an electronic device having an output unit.

  In the present embodiment, the sensor information corresponding to the determination result of the plurality of types of sensors is selected as the sensor information to be notified to the user, but the sensor information may be transmitted to the outside via the communication unit.
