The present invention relates to a seat system and a seat experience device including a seat having a sensor.

Conventionally, there is known a vehicle seat in which a plurality of pressure sensors are arranged on the seat in order to detect the sitting posture of the occupant (Patent Document 1).

JP-A-2017-65504

However, the conventional vehicle seat has a problem that it cannot be used very effectively because it only evaluates and presents the sitting posture of the driver.

Therefore, according to the present invention, in order to propose a new value of a seat, for example, when a battle-type game is played using a seat having a sensor, even if a battle is between people with significantly different athletic abilities, each person can be played. It is an object of the present invention to provide a seat system and a seat experience device capable of competing at the same level.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the seat system according to the present invention includes a seat body and a sensor provided on the seat body and acquiring information for detecting the movement of a seated person sitting on the seat body. It includes a sheet to be provided, a terminal for acquiring the information from the sensor, and a server capable of communicating with the terminal.
The terminal executes a game program using the sensor based on the information, and the execution result of the game provided by the execution of the game program by the seated person is used as the execution result corresponding to the seated person. get.
The server integrates the execution results of the game acquired from other terminals to generate integrated data, and calculates a reference value of the execution result of the game based on the integrated data.
The terminal or the server sets the difficulty level of the game on the terminal based on the execution result corresponding to the seated person and the reference value.
The terminal reflects the difficulty level in the game while the game program is being executed.

Further, the seat experience device according to the present invention includes a seat body, a seat provided on the seat body and having a sensor for acquiring information for detecting the movement of a seated person sitting on the seat body, and the seat. It includes a terminal capable of acquiring the information from the sensor and communicating with the server.
The terminal executes a game program using the sensor based on the information, and the execution result of the game provided by the execution of the game program by the seated person is used as the execution result corresponding to the seated person. get.
The server integrates the execution results of the game acquired from other terminals to generate integrated data, and calculates a reference value of the execution result of the game based on the integrated data.
The terminal reflects the difficulty level of the game on the terminal, which is set based on the execution result corresponding to the seated person and the reference value, in the game during the execution of the game program.

According to such a seat system or a seat experience device, the difficulty level of the game set based on the reference value based on the execution result of the game on another terminal and the execution result of the game corresponding to the seated person is seated. It is reflected in the game on the person's terminal. Therefore, for example, when a person who executes a game on another terminal and a seated person play a battle-type game, it is possible to make each person compete at the same level.

Further, the terminal or the server sets the difficulty level of the game by setting the operation amount of the operation target to be operated in the game based on the execution result corresponding to the seated person and the reference value. You may.

According to this, since the operation amount is set according to the difficulty level of the game, for example, compared with the case where the difficulty level is reflected in the execution result of the game, for example, the operation target to be operated on another terminal and the terminal of the seated person are operated. It is possible to obtain an effect such that the operation targets to be operated can be competed on the same screen.

Further, the terminal or the server accumulates the execution result corresponding to the seated person as a personal total result associated with the identification information of the seated person, and based on the personal total result, the seating corresponding to the identification information. An individual reference value of a game execution result for a person may be calculated, and the difficulty level may be set based on the individual reference value and the reference value.

Since the execution results corresponding to the seated person are accumulated as individual overall results, it is possible to suppress a large change in the difficulty level due to variations in the execution results.

Further, the reference value may be an average value of the execution results of the game accumulated in the integrated data.

According to this, for example, the reference value can be easily calculated as compared with the case where the median value of the game execution result accumulated in the integrated data is used as the reference value.

Further, the terminal or the server may lower the difficulty level when the execution result corresponding to the seated person is worse than the reference value.

Further, the terminal or the server may increase the difficulty level when the execution result corresponding to the seated person is better than the reference value.

According to the present invention, when a person who executes a game on another terminal and a seated person play a competitive game, each person can compete at the same level.

In addition, by setting the operation amount according to the difficulty level of the game, for example, compared with the case where the difficulty level is reflected in the execution result of the game, for example, the operation target operated on another terminal and the operation operated on the seated person's terminal. It is possible to obtain effects such as being able to compete with each other on the same screen.

In addition, by accumulating the execution results corresponding to the seated person as an individual total result, it is possible to suppress the variation in the execution result corresponding to the seated person and set the difficulty level.

In addition, by using the reference value as the average value of the game execution results stored in the integrated data, the reference value is more appropriate than in the case where the median value of the game execution results stored in the integrated data is used as the reference value. Value can be set.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the seat system 1 includes a seat experience device SM and a server SV. The seat experience device SM includes a vehicle seat S as an example of a seat and a smartphone SP as an example of a terminal.

The server SV also constitutes another seat system 1A. Specifically, another seat system 1A is a system used by a person different from the seated person P who uses the seat system 1 (hereinafter, also referred to as "another person PA"). The seat system 1A includes a seat experience device SM (vehicle seat S and smartphone SP) and a server SV. Since the devices constituting the seat systems 1 and 1A have the same structure and function, the devices constituting the seat system 1 will be described as a representative in the following description.

The vehicle seat S is configured as, for example, a vehicle seat installed in a vehicle. In the present invention, the front / rear, left / right, and up / down are based on the seated person P sitting on the vehicle seat S.

As shown in FIG. 2, the vehicle seat S includes a seat body S0 and a control device 100. The seat body S0 has a seat cushion S1 and a seat back S2. The seat cushion S1 and the seat back S2 include a cushion pad 20 and a skin 10 that covers the cushion pad 20. The cushion pad 20 is made of urethane foam or the like, and is supported by a frame (not shown). The skin 10 is made of synthetic leather, cloth, or the like.

The seat cushion S1 and the seat back S2 are provided with a plurality of pressure sensors PS1 to PS6 under the skin 10. The pressure sensors PS1 to PS6 are examples of sensors, and acquire measured values which are information for detecting the operation of the seated person P sitting on the seat body S0. The pressure sensors PS1 to PS6 are arranged so as to be able to detect the state of the seat surface facing the seated person P seated on the seat body S0, and acquire the pressure value from the seated person P sitting on the seat body S0.

Each pressure sensor PS1 to PS6 is provided in pairs symmetrically with respect to the left and right centers of the vehicle seat S.
Specifically, the seat cushion S1 is provided with pressure sensors PS1 to PS3. The pressure sensor PS1 and the pressure sensor PS2 are arranged at positions corresponding to the buttocks of the seated person P on the seat cushion S1. The pressure sensor PS1 and the pressure sensor PS2 constitute a first cushion sensor SC1 that measures the pressure from the buttocks of the seated person P. The pressure sensor PS2 is arranged slightly in front of the pressure sensor PS1. The first cushion sensor SC1 may include only one of the pressure sensor PS1 and the pressure sensor PS2.

The pressure sensor PS3 is located below the thigh of the seated person P. The pressure sensor PS3 constitutes a second cushion sensor SC2 that measures the pressure value from the thigh of the seated person P. The pressure sensor PS3 is arranged far forward from the pressure sensor PS1 and the pressure sensor PS2.

The seat back S2 is provided with pressure sensors PS4 to PS6. The pressure sensor PS4 is provided at a position corresponding to the back of the waist of the seated person P. The pressure sensor PS5 is arranged slightly above the pressure sensor PS4. Both the pressure sensor PS4 and the pressure sensor PS5 constitute a first back sensor SB1 that measures the pressure from the waist of the seated person P. The first back sensor SB1 may include only one of the pressure sensor PS4 and the pressure sensor PS5.

The pressure sensor PS6 is arranged far above the pressure sensor PS4 and the pressure sensor PS5. The pressure sensor PS6 is located corresponding to the upper part of the back of the seated person P. The pressure sensor PS6 constitutes a second back sensor SB2 that measures the pressure value from the shoulder blade of the seated person P.

The pressure sensors PS1 to PS6 are, for example, elements whose electrical resistance changes depending on the pressure from the outside, and the larger the pressure value, the higher (or lower) the voltage of the detection signal.

A paint 31 serving as a position display portion is applied to positions on the outer surface of the skin 10 corresponding to the pressure sensors PS1 to PS6. The paint 31 is exposed to the outside of the epidermis 10 by being applied to the outer surface of the epidermis 10. The color of the paint 31 is different from that of the outer surface of the skin 10. Specifically, for example, when the outer surface of the skin 10 is black, the color of the paint 31 can be a color that stands out with respect to black such as yellow.

Such a paint 31 visually displays the positions of the pressure sensors PS1 to PS6 from the outside of the seat body S0 before the seater P sits on the vehicle seat S.

The control device 100 is connected to the pressure sensors PS1 to PS6 so that the pressure value can be acquired from the pressure sensors PS1 to PS6. The control device 100 can transmit the information detected by the pressure sensors PS1 to PS6 to the smartphone SP.

Specifically, the control device 100 is connected to a short-range communication device 3A that enables short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or Wi-Fi (registered trademark). The control device 100 can communicate with the smartphone SP via the short-range communication device 3A. Further, the smartphone SP can communicate with the server SV via the Internet.

The control device 100, the smartphone SP, and the server SV have a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, a rewritable non-volatile memory, and the like (not shown), and execute a program stored in advance. The smartphone SP further includes a display DSP.

The smartphone SP has a function of acquiring a pressure value from each of the pressure sensors PS1 to PS6 via the control device 100. A seat application for providing the seated person P with a game that can be executed based on a signal (pressure value) transmitted from the vehicle seat S is installed in the smartphone SP. Here, the seat application is a game program using the pressure sensors PS1 to PS6.

In the seat application according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide the seated person P with the 100 m running game. That is, the smartphone SP provides the seated person P with the 100 m running game by executing the seat application which is a game program. The 100 m running game is a game that uses the pressure sensors PS1 to PS3, specifically, a game that runs a character displayed on the display DSP, and is executed based on a pressure value transmitted from the vehicle seat S.

Specifically, the smartphone SP acquires _{the pressure values P3 R} and P3 _L of the left and right pressure sensors PS3 on the vehicle seat S when executing the 100 m running game. _{Then, the normal pressure P3 n} , which is the average pressure of the seated person P sitting at that time, and the threshold value P3th for detecting the peak of the pressure value are determined, and the average leg of the seated person P is determined. Calculate the _{normal step cycle TS n} , which is the cycle to move.

Specifically, when the seated person P raises the legs alternately, the pressure values P3 _R and P3 _L change as shown in FIG. 3, for example. In FIG. 3, the portion where the pressure is suddenly reduced indicates that the pressure in the portion of the pressure sensor PS3 is reduced due to the seater P raising his leg. That is, the pressure value near 140 where the pressure is not reduced becomes the average normal pressure P3 _n when the legs are not raised. To calculate the normal pressure P3 _n , for example, _{the difference between the previous value and the current value of the pressure values P3 R} and P3 _L (the current value P3 (n) minus the previous value P3 (n-1) is used. ) Is less than or equal to a predetermined value (that is, when the change in value is small), the current values may be aggregated and averaged.

Further, the threshold value P3th is a threshold value for determining that the leg is being raised. For example, in the case of FIG. 3, a value of about 100 to 120 may be used. Therefore, as the threshold value P3th, a _{value obtained by multiplying the normal pressure P3 n} by a predetermined value can be used. For example, the threshold value P3th can be a value obtained by multiplying the _{normal pressure P3 n by a predetermined value of about 0.6 to 0.9.}

The normal step period TS _n is the average value of the step period TS, which is the time interval between the peaks of the pressure values P3 _R and P3 _L.
For the pressure values P3 _R and P3 _L , the difference between the previous value and the current value is positive to positive under the condition that the respective pressure values P3 _R and P3 _{L are smaller than the threshold value P3th (exceeded from the upper side to the lower side).} It can be determined that the peak has been reached when the value changes to, and the previous value P3 (n-1) at this time can be set as the peak value Pm.

_{When the smartphone SP detects the peaks of the pressure values P3 R} and P3 _L according to the movement of the seated person P, the smartphone SP calculates the peak value Pm and raises the leg based on the peak value Pm and the normal pressure P3 _n. step strength _{F (F} R, _{F L)} is the calculated. The step intensity F can be the magnitude of the peak, that is, the value obtained by subtracting the peak value Pm from the _{normal pressure P3 n.} In the present embodiment, in order to eliminate the difference due to the size of the physique of the seated person P, the value is standardized at the _{normal pressure P3 n.} For example, the step strength F is
F = (P3 _{n −} Pm) / P3 _n
And.

When the smartphone SP calculates the step intensity F during the 100m dash game, the smartphone SP moves the character on the display DSP toward the goal. The amount of movement at this time depends on the magnitude of the step strength F. The smartphone SP moves the character toward the goal by, for example, F [m].

Further, the smartphone SP acquires the goal time (time at the goal of 100 m) as an example of the execution result of the game at the end of the 100 m dash game. Here, the goal time starts the time measurement by the timer from the start of the 100 dash game, and ends the time measurement when the value obtained by multiplying the step intensity F by the number of times the step intensity F is calculated becomes 100 or more. By doing so, it can be measured.

When the 100m game is completed, the smartphone SP associates the goal time acquired this time with the identification information of the seated person P, and acquires the execution result of the game by the seated person P as the execution result corresponding to the seated person P. Here, the identification information may be stored in the smartphone SP, for example, by the seated person registering his / her own ID on a predetermined registration screen before the start of the 100m game. When a plurality of users share one smartphone SP, the ID of each user is registered, and each user selects his / her own ID before executing the 100m game, and then executes the game. As a result, the execution result corresponding to each user can be acquired by the smartphone SP.

When the 100m game is completed, the smartphone SP displays the goal time corresponding to the seated person P on the display DSP. Further, when the smartphone SP is in a state of being able to communicate with the server SV at the end of the 100m game, the smartphone SP transmits the goal time acquired this time to the server SV together with the identification information of the seated person P.

The server SV has a function of integrating the goal times acquired from the smartphone SP to generate integrated data. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, each time the server SV acquires the goal time and the identification information (for example, "00001") from the smartphone SP used by the seated person P, the total goal time corresponding to the identification information is obtained. And the number of acquisitions is updated. Specifically, when the server SV acquires the goal time and the identification information, the server SV accumulates the current goal time as the total goal time by adding it to the total value of the past goal times corresponding to the identification information. That is, the server SV accumulates the goal time corresponding to the seated person P as the total goal time (individual total result) associated with the identification information of the seated person P. Further, when the server SV acquires the goal time and the identification information, the server SV increases the number of acquisitions of the goal time corresponding to the identification information by one time.

Similarly, each time the server SV acquires the goal time and the identification information (for example, "00002") from another smartphone SP used by another person PA, the server SV updates the total goal time and the number of acquisitions corresponding to the identification information. .. In this way, the server SV acquires the goal time / identification information corresponding to each person from the smartphone SP used by various users, and integrates these to generate integrated data (data group) as shown in the table shown in FIG. To do.

The server SV has a function of calculating a reference value of the goal time based on the integrated data. Specifically, the server SV calculates the average value of the goal times accumulated in the integrated data as a reference value. That is, for example, in a situation where the seat experience device SM is used by various users (old people, men, women, children, disabled people, etc.) nationwide, the server SV calculates the national average of the goal time of the 100m dash game. To do. Specifically, the server SV divides the value obtained by integrating all the goal times of the integrated data by the value obtained by integrating all the acquisition times of the integrated data, and thereby divides the average value of the goal times for all users. Is calculated.

The server SV has a function of calculating the personal reference value of the goal time for the user corresponding to the identification information based on the personal total result. Specifically, for example, when calculating the personal reference value for the seated person P, the server SV sets the total goal time corresponding to the identification information (for example, "00001") as the identification information (for example, "00001"). By dividing by the number of acquisitions corresponding to, the average value of the goal time for the seated person P is calculated as the individual reference value.

The server SV has a function of setting the difficulty level of the 100m dash game based on the individual reference value and the reference value. Specifically, the server SV sets the difficulty level of the 100m dash game by setting the operation amount of the operation target to be operated in the 100m dash game based on the individual reference value and the reference value.

In the present embodiment, the server SV sets the operation amount of the operation target by setting the correction coefficient to be multiplied by the step intensity F based on the individual reference value and the reference value. Specifically, the server SV makes the correction coefficient larger than the initial value when the individual reference value is larger than the reference value, that is, when the running speed of the seated person P is slower than the average value of the running speeds of all users. As a result, the distance traveled per step of the seated person P is increased. Further, the server SV makes the correction coefficient smaller than the initial value when the individual reference value is smaller than the reference value, that is, when the running speed of the seated person P is faster than the average value of the running speeds of all users. , Reduce the distance traveled per step of the seated person P.

That is, the server SV lowers the difficulty level of the 100m game when the personal reference value is worse than the reference value. Further, the server SV raises the difficulty level of the 100m game when the personal reference value is better than the reference value. When the server SV sets the correction coefficient corresponding to the seated person P, the server SV transmits the correction coefficient to the smartphone SP used by the seated person P based on the identification information of the seated person P. Similarly, when the server SV sets the correction coefficient for the other person's PA, the server SV transmits the correction coefficient to the smartphone SP of the other person's PA.

When the correction coefficient is acquired from the server SV, the smartphone SP has a function of measuring the goal time based on the value obtained by multiplying the step intensity F by the correction coefficient in the next 100m dash game. That is, the smartphone SP is configured to reflect the difficulty level set by the server SV in the 100m dash game while the seat application is being executed.

In addition, the smartphone SP can select one-player play or competitive play in the 100m game run. Here, the one-player play is a mode in which only the character corresponding to the user of the smartphone SP is run on the display DSP of the smartphone SP. In the one-player mode, for example, another character moved by the control unit of the smartphone SP may compete with the character corresponding to the user.

In addition, the battle play is a mode in which a character corresponding to a user using a predetermined smartphone SP (for example, a seated person P) and a character corresponding to a user using another smartphone SP (for example, another person's PA) compete with each other. Is. In the battle play, each smartphone SP used by each user can exchange information via the server SV. As a result, on the display DSP of each smartphone SP, the character corresponding to each user moves according to the movement of the user on the corresponding vehicle seat S.

Next, the operations of the smartphone SP and the server SV (specifically, each control unit in the smartphone SP and the server SV) will be described in detail.
When the seated person P launches the seat application, the smartphone SP starts the process shown in FIG. 5 (START). In this process, the smartphone SP first determines whether or not it is in a state of being able to communicate with the control device 100 of the vehicle seat S (S11).

If it is determined in step S11 that communication is not possible (No), the smartphone SP ends this process. If it is determined in step S11 that communication is possible (Yes), the smartphone SP displays the start screen (see FIG. 8) of the 100m dash game on the display DSP (S12).

After step S12, the smartphone SP determines whether or not one-player play has been selected (S13). If it is determined in step S13 that one-player play is selected (Yes), the smartphone SP starts the 100-meter dash game in the one-player mode (S14).

After step S14, specifically during the 100m dash game, the smartphone SP calculates the step intensity F based on the pressure value transmitted from the vehicle seat S (S15). After step S15, the smartphone SP determines the amount of movement of the character based on the step intensity F (S16).

After step S16, specifically after the end of the 100m dash game, the smartphone SP acquires the goal time and displays the acquired goal time on the display DSP (S17). After step S17, the smartphone SP determines whether or not it is in a state where it can communicate with the server SV (S18).

If it is determined in step S18 that communication is possible (Yes), the smartphone SP transmits the goal time and the identification number acquired this time to the server SV (S19), and returns to the process of step S12. If it is determined in step S18 that the communication is not possible (No), the smartphone SP returns to the process of step S12 without executing the process of step S19.

If it is determined in step S13 that the one-player play is not selected (No), the smartphone SP determines whether or not the battle play is selected (S20). If it is determined in step S20 that the battle play is selected (Yes), the smartphone SP executes the battle process (S21). The battle process will be described in detail later.

After step S21 or when it is determined as No in step S13, the smartphone SP determines whether or not termination is selected (S22). If it is determined in step S22 that termination is selected (Yes), the smartphone SP terminates this process. If it is determined that the end is not selected in step S22 (No), the smartphone SP returns to the process of step S12.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the battle process, the smartphone SP first determines whether or not it is in a state where it can communicate with the server SV (S31). If it is determined in step S31 that communication is not possible, the smartphone SP ends the battle process.

If it is determined in step S31 that communication is possible (Yes), the smartphone SP requests the server SV for a correction coefficient and acquires it (S32). At the time of this request, the smartphone SP transmits the identification information of the user of the smartphone SP. After step S32, the smartphone SP determines whether or not there is an opponent by inquiring whether or not there is an opponent in the server SV (S33). Specifically, for example, in step S33, the smartphone SP transmits a signal indicating that the battle play has been selected to the server SV, and the battle is based on the information returned from the server SV in response to this transmission. Determine if there is a partner. Here, the "information returned from the server SV" is, for example, a signal indicating that the battle play has been selected on another smartphone SP.

If it is determined in step S33 that there is an opponent (Yes), the smartphone SP starts the 100m dash game in the battle mode (S34). After step S34, specifically during the 100m dash game, the smartphone SP calculates the step intensity F based on the pressure value transmitted from the vehicle seat S (S35).

After step S35, the smartphone SP determines the amount of movement of the character based on the step intensity F and the correction coefficient (S36). After step S36, in detail, after the end of the 100m dash game, the smartphone SP acquires the goal times of each character of the self and another person who competed on the display DSP, compares these goal times, and displays the battle result. Displayed above (S37), the battle process ends.

If it is determined in step S33 that there is no opponent (No), the smartphone SP determines whether or not the predetermined time has elapsed (S38). If it is determined in step S38 that the predetermined time has not elapsed (No), the smartphone SP returns to the process of step S33 and waits until the opponent accesses the server SV. When the predetermined time has elapsed in step S33 (Yes), the smartphone SP ends the battle process.

The server SV is constantly executing the process shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 7, the server SV determines whether or not it is in a state where it can communicate with the smartphone SP (S51). If it is determined in step S51 that communication is not possible, the server SV ends this process.

If it is determined in step S51 that communication is possible (Yes), the server SV determines whether or not there is a request for a correction coefficient from the smartphone SP (S52). If it is determined in step S52 that there is a request (Yes), the server SV calculates the average value of the total goal times corresponding to the identification information sent from the smartphone SP as an individual reference value (S53).

After step S53, the server SV calculates the average value of the goal times as a reference value based on the total goal times of all the accumulated integrated data and the number of acquisitions (S54). After step S54, the server SV calculates the correction coefficient based on the personal reference value and the reference value (S55).

After step S55, the server SV transmits the correction coefficient to the smartphone SP (S56), and ends this process. If it is determined in step S52 that the correction coefficient is not requested (No), whether or not the server SV has acquired the goal time and identification information from the smartphone SP, that is, the goal time and identification information are sent from the smartphone SP. It is determined whether or not the coefficient (S57).

If it is determined that the data has been acquired in step S57 (Yes), the goal time is accumulated in the personal data area corresponding to the identification information (S58). Specifically, for example, when the server SV acquires the identification information "00001", the server SV adds the goal time acquired this time to the total goal time corresponding to the identification information "00001" and increments the acquisition number. ..

After step S58, or if it is determined as No in step S57, the server SV ends this process.

Next, an example of a specific operation of the seat system 1 will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 1, when the seater P operates the smartphone SP to launch the seat application in a state where each device (S, SV, SP) constituting the seat system 1 can communicate, FIG. 5 shows. In the process shown, the processes of step S11: Yes → step S12 are sequentially executed. As a result, the start screen shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display DSP.

On the start screen, a button B1 for starting the one-player play of the 100m dash game, a button B2 for starting the battle play, and a button B3 for ending the seat application are displayed. When the seated person P touches the button B1, it is determined to be Yes in step S13, and the 100m dash game is executed in the one-player mode (S14 to S17).

When the 100m dash game is completed, the smartphone SP transmits the goal time and identification information, which are the results of this game, to the server SV (S18: Yes → S19).

As shown in FIG. 7, when the goal time and the identification information are transmitted from the smartphone SP to the server SV, the server SV determines Yes in step S57, and the acquired goal time is the personal data corresponding to the identification information. Accumulate in the region (S58). By performing such an operation between the smartphone SPs of various users and the server SV, a huge amount of integrated data (see FIG. 4) is generated in the server SV.

When the seated person P selects the battle play button B2 on the start screen shown in FIG. 8, as shown in FIG. 5, the smartphone SP determines Yes in step S20 and executes the battle process (S21). When the other person PA shown in FIG. 1 has selected the battle play of the 100m dash game on his / her smartphone SP, the smartphone SP of the seated person P changes from the server SV to the seated person P in the battle processing shown in FIG. After acquiring the corresponding correction coefficient, the 100m dash game is started in the battle mode (S32 to S34).

On the other hand, the smartphone SP of the other person PA also performs the same operation, so that the smartphone SP of the other person PA starts the 100m dash game in the battle mode after acquiring the correction coefficient corresponding to the other person PA from the server SV in the battle processing. To do. In the 100m dash game executed by each smartphone SP, the step intensity F of the seated person P and the other person's PA is corrected by the correction coefficient, so that the character corresponding to the seated person P and the other person's PA are supported on the display DSP. Each character competes at a speed close to the reference value.

Therefore, for example, when the athletic abilities of the seated person P and the other person's PA are greatly separated, for example, even an adult and a child can compete with each other by a small margin in the battle mode of the 100m dash game. Can be entertained together.

As described above, according to the seat system 1 of the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
The difficulty level of the game set based on the reference value based on the execution result of the game on the smartphone SP of the other person PA and the execution result of the game corresponding to the seater P is reflected in the game on the smartphone SP of the seater P. Therefore, in the battle mode of the 100m dash game, each person can compete at the same level.

Since the operation amount (more specifically, the correction coefficient that affects the operation amount) is set according to the difficulty level of the game, for example, the difficulty level may be reflected by increasing or decreasing the goal time after the game ends based on the reference value. By comparison, each character corresponding to the seated person P and the other person PA can compete on the same screen.

Since the goal time corresponding to each user is accumulated as an individual total result, it is possible to suppress a large change in the difficulty level due to the variation in the goal time.

Since the average value of the total goal times accumulated in the integrated data is used as the reference value, the reference value can be calculated more easily than, for example, when the median value of all goal times accumulated in the integrated data is used as the reference value. Can be done.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be appropriately modified and implemented as shown in the following other embodiments. In the following description, the same reference numerals will be given to configurations substantially similar to those in the above embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

In the above embodiment, the server SV sets the difficulty level (correction coefficient) of the game, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the smartphone SP may set the difficulty level of the game. In this case, for example, the smartphone SP can be configured to execute the battle process shown in FIG. 9, and the server SV can execute the process shown in FIG.

The process shown in FIG. 9 has new steps S71 and S72 instead of step S32 in the process shown in FIG. 6, and the other processes are the same as the process shown in FIG. Further, the process shown in FIG. 10 has new steps S81 and S82 instead of steps S52, S55 and S56 in the process shown in FIG. 7, and the other processes are the same as those in FIG. 7. ..

In the battle process shown in FIG. 9, when the smartphone SP determines Yes in step S31, it requests and acquires the personal reference value and the reference value from the server SV (S71). That is, the smartphone SP according to this embodiment does not request the correction coefficient from the server SV as in the above embodiment, but requests and acquires the individual reference value and the reference value.

After step S71, the smartphone SP sets the difficulty level of the game by calculating the correction coefficient based on the individual reference value and the reference value (S72). After step S72, the smartphone SP proceeds to the process of step S33.

In the process shown in FIG. 10, when the server SV determines Yes in step S51, it determines whether or not the smartphone SP has requested the personal reference value and the reference value (S81). In step S81, the server SV proceeds to the process of step S53 if it is determined that there is a request (Yes), and proceeds to the process of step S57 if it is determined that there is no request in step S81.

When the server SV calculates the personal reference value / reference value in steps S53 and S54, the server SV transmits the calculated personal reference value / reference value to the smartphone SP (S82), and ends this process. Even in such a form, since the difficulty level can be reflected in the 100m dash game, the same effect as that of the above-described embodiment can be obtained. However, when the correction coefficient is calculated by the server SV as in the above embodiment, it is not necessary to calculate the correction coefficient by the smartphone SP, so the processing by the smartphone SP is reduced and the battle mode of the 100m dash game is set. It can be done more smoothly.

In the above embodiment, the personal total result is stored in the server SV, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the personal total result may be stored in the smartphone SP of each user. In this case, for example, the smartphone SP can be configured to execute the processes shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, and the server SV can be configured to execute the processes shown in FIG.

The process shown in FIG. 11 has new steps S91 to S93 instead of steps S19 and S21 in the process shown in FIG. 5, and the other processes are the same as the process shown in FIG. The process shown in FIG. 12 includes new steps S110 and S111 in place of step S71 in the process shown in FIG. 9, and the other processes are the same as the process shown in FIG. Further, the process shown in FIG. 13 includes the processes of steps S51 and S54 in the process shown in FIG. 7, and also includes new steps S121 to S124.

In the process shown in FIG. 11, the smartphone SP accumulates the goal time in the smartphone SP by displaying the goal time on the display DSP in step S17 and then adding the goal time acquired this time to the total goal time in the past. (S91). After step S91, the smartphone SP proceeds to the process of step S18.

If it is determined to be YES in step S18, the smartphone SP transmits the goal time acquired this time to the server SV (S92), and returns to the process of step S12. Here, in step S92, the smartphone SP does not transmit the identification information together with the goal time as in the above embodiment, but transmits only the goal time to the server SV. If it is determined to be Yes in step S20, the smartphone SP executes a battle process different from that of the embodiment (S93).

In the battle process shown in FIG. 12, when the smartphone SP determines Yes in step S31, the smartphone SP requests the reference value from the server SV and acquires it (S110). After step S110, the smartphone SP calculates the average value of the goal times as an individual reference value based on the total goal time accumulated in the smartphone SP and the number of acquisitions (S111). After step S111, the smartphone SP proceeds to the process of step S72.

In the process shown in FIG. 13, if the server SV determines Yes in step S51, it determines whether or not there is a request for a reference value from the smartphone SP (S121). If it is determined in step S121 that there is a request (Yes), the server SV proceeds to the process of step S54 to calculate the reference value.

After step S54, the server SV transmits the reference value to the smartphone SP (S122), and ends this process. If it is determined in step S121 that there is no request (No), the server SV determines whether or not the goal time has been acquired from the smartphone SP (S123).

If it is determined in step S123 that it has been acquired (Yes), the server SV accumulates the goal time by adding the goal time acquired this time to the total value of the past goal times (S124). After step S124, or when it is determined as No in step S123, the server SV ends this process.

Even in such a form, since the difficulty level can be reflected in the 100m dash game, the same effect as that of the above-described embodiment can be obtained. However, when the personal total result is stored in the server SV as in the above embodiment, the storage capacity of the smartphone SP can be saved.

In the above embodiment, the operation amount of the operation target is determined based on the step intensity F, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the operation amount may be determined based on the number of steps. As the number of steps, for example, the number of peak values Pm calculated during the 100m game can be used as the number of steps. Further, in this case, the difficulty level of the game can be set by changing the stride length to be multiplied by the number of steps based on the reference value or the like.

In the above embodiment, the pressure sensors PS1 to PS3 have been exemplified as the sensor, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the sensor may be, for example, an optical sensor. In this case, the number of steps or the like may be calculated based on the information on whether or not the light is detected by the optical sensor.

In the above embodiment, the 100m dash game is illustrated as the game, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the game may be any activity as long as it is performed according to a specific rule. For example, the game may be an exercise other than the 100m dash, or may be gymnastics such as exercise.

Further, the game may be, for example, a zazen game for causing the seated person P to perform zazen on the vehicle seat S as shown below. In the zazen game, for example, the pressure applied to the left side of the seat cushion S1 and the pressure applied to the right side are substantially the same, and the pressure applied to the front side of the seat cushion S1 and the pressure applied to the rear side are substantially the same. It can be configured as a game that encourages the posture of the person P. Specifically, the zazen game can be configured as a game in which the cursor that moves according to the movement (fluctuation of the pressure value) of the seated person P is aligned with the target image on the screen of the smartphone SP. .. In this case, if the execution result of the zazen game is better than the reference value, that is, if a good zazen posture is maintained, the amount of movement of the cursor with respect to a predetermined fluctuation amount of the pressure value is increased. By doing so, the moving speed of the cursor on the screen may be increased to increase the difficulty level of the game. If the execution result of the Zazen game is worse than the reference value, the movement speed of the cursor on the screen is slowed down by reducing the movement amount of the cursor with respect to the predetermined fluctuation amount of the pressure value. , You may lower the difficulty of the game.

In the above-described embodiment, the vehicle seat S used in an automobile is exemplified as the vehicle seat S, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other vehicle seats such as a seat used in a ship or an aircraft are used. It can also be applied to. Further, the seat is not limited to the vehicle seat S, and may be, for example, a sitting chair or the like.

In the above embodiment, the smartphone SP is exemplified as the terminal, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the terminal may be a mobile terminal other than the smartphone SP such as a tablet. Further, the terminal is a terminal provided on the seat, and may be integrally provided on the seat. Further, the terminal may be a terminal constituting a car navigation system. In this case, a plurality of users sitting on a plurality of seats may share one terminal.

Each element described in the above-described embodiment and modification may be arbitrarily combined and implemented.
