Further, each figure is a schematic view and is not necessarily exactly illustrated.

<Embodiment 1>
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of the costume production support system 1. The configuration of the costume production support system 1 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

The costume production support system 1 includes a production support device 100 and an information terminal 200. The effect support device 100 and the information terminal 200 are communicably connected to each other.

The production support device 100 is a costume production support device that is worn by the performer P of the costume and transmits the movement corresponding to the production of the costume to the body of the performer P by the assisting force. The production support device 100 can reduce the burden on the performer who remembers the choreography by, for example, transmitting the movement related to the choreography of the costume dance to the body of the performer P.

The information terminal 200 is used by the provider of the production support device 100, a costume director, and the like (hereinafter, referred to as “director and the like”) to set the costume production information. The production information is information indicating the movement of the costume, and is, for example, the movement of the performer related to the choreography of the costume dance. More specifically, it is the movement of the performer's neck, raising and lowering his arms, raising his legs, and jumping, but the movement of the costume is not limited to these.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing the effect support device 100. FIG. 2A is a view of the effect support device 100 viewed from substantially the front, and FIG. 2B is a view of the effect support device 100 viewed from substantially the back.

The production support device 100 includes a base wear 10 that comes into contact with the body of the performer P and an outer wear 20 that covers the body of the performer P. Further, the effect support device 100 includes a battery 11 that supplies electric power to an assist mechanism (not shown) electrically connected to the base wear 10, and a wearable terminal 12.

The basewear 10 is an assist suit worn by the performer P and is in contact with the body of the performer P. The assist mechanism (not shown) electrically connected to the base wear 10 generates an assist force that supports the movement of the performer P, and transmits the movement (directing) set by the director or the like to the performer P. The assist mechanism is composed of, for example, an actuator that receives electric power from the battery 11 described later and converts the supplied electric power into an assist force. The assist mechanism may have any configuration as long as the assist force can be transmitted to the performer P according to the control information including the production information set by the director or the like, and a known technique can be adopted.

The battery 11 is a secondary battery or the like, and supplies electric power to a load unit such as an assist mechanism included in the effect support device 100. The battery 11 is arranged, for example, in a dedicated pocket located on the back portion of the performer P.

In the present embodiment, the wearable terminal 12 is, for example, a wristwatch type or wristband type information terminal, but may be an earphone type or eyeglass type information terminal, an HMD (head mounted display), or the like. The wearable terminal 12 measures the biological information of the performer P by the sensor function, and measures the humidity and temperature of the internal space of the costume (the space between the base wear 10 and the outer wear 20). Further, the wearable terminal 12 may notify the performer P of the information acquired by the sensor function or the production information set by the director or the like by vibration, voice, display display, or the like. For example, the performer P may be notified of the timing of raising the arm of the costume or the timing of starting walking by vibration, voice, light emission of the display, or the like.

The outerwear 20 is a costume bag that covers the performer P, and a space for the performer P to enter is formed inside. The appearance of the outerwear 20 represents characters such as animals and monsters, and the outerwear 20 is manufactured from, for example, a bore fabric or a nylon fabric.

Further, a peephole 21 is formed in the outerwear 20, and the performer P inside can see the surroundings through the peephole 21. The peephole 21 is formed, for example, as a part of the eyes or mouth of the character so that the audience does not feel the presence of the performer P inside. In addition, for example, a camera may be arranged at the eyes or the mouth to display an image of the surroundings photographed on a spectacle-type terminal worn by the performer P or the like.

Further, the outerwear 20 may be configured to blow external air into the internal space by a blower (not shown) to inflate the costume bag and maintain its shape. The blower may be arranged on the inner surface of the outerwear 20, or the performer P may carry it on his back.

If the performer P makes various movements in such a state, the outerwear 20 also makes the same movements. That is, when the performer P wearing the basewear 10 moves his / her body according to the assist mechanism controlled to perform the movement (directing) set by the director or the like, the outerwear 20 also makes the same movement. Therefore, the production support device 100 can reduce the burden on the performer P who remembers various choreography and the like instructed by the director and the like. Further, by using the production support device 100, it is possible to improve the efficiency of teaching the movement to a performer in an inexperienced costume.

Generally, due to the structure of the costume, the performer P tends to feel a burden due to the weight of the outerwear 20 and a feeling of fatigue due to heat, moisture, etc. trapped in the internal space. Therefore, it is assumed that the operation according to the assist mechanism is severe for the tired performer P. However, in order to produce the costume, it is necessary to prevent the presence of the performer P inside the costume from being felt from the outside, so it is difficult to detect from the outside what kind of health the performer P is in. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the assist mechanism is controlled according to the state inside the costume, for example, the humidity and temperature inside, and the health state of the performer P detected from the biological information of the performer P. As a result, it is possible to produce a costume in consideration of the health condition of the performer P.

Further, as described above, although the outerwear 20 has a peephole 21, the field of view of the performer P inside the costume is generally narrow, and it is difficult to grasp the surrounding situation. In addition, due to the material of the outerwear 20 and the presence of a blower inside, it is difficult to hear surrounding sounds. For this reason, the performer P, who cannot grasp the surrounding situation, may come into contact with a nearby child or the like because the performer P performs an operation according to the assist mechanism. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the environment around the costume is analyzed by, for example, video and audio acquired by a camera installed in the outerwear 20, and the assist mechanism is controlled according to the surrounding conditions. As a result, it is possible to produce a costume that takes into consideration the surroundings of the costume.
