2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, chronic fatigue syndrome, death from overwork, sudden death, etc. have been attracting attention as social problems. It is said that many people are aware of the fatigue caused by the stress of urban life in artificially dense areas such as Tokyo.

Fatigue is generally considered to be "one abstracted concept that has some relation to various changes in the living body", and is expressed by the word "fatigue" and is experienced by everyone. However, tiredness is a subjective and extremely subjective sensation, and the degree of recognition is highly individual, so it is difficult to make it objective.

However, as people's interest in fatigue is increasing socially, it is very meaningful to express fatigue as an objective numerical value, and the appearance of an apparatus for measuring fatigue as an objective numerical value is desired. ing.

Therefore, in the field of psychosomatic medicine, a Q & A type interview form has been developed and used as a method of objectively grasping fatigue.

[0006]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional interview form, since the content of the question itself is uniform, it is said that it is suitable for confirmation of fatigue which is evaluated differently depending on the physical and physical condition of the individual. It is hard to say, and the following drawbacks have been pointed out.

Fatigue cannot be captured numerically.

It is difficult to compare the degree of fatigue between people.

Answers vary greatly depending on the age, sex, physique, character, temperament, lifestyle, and work environment of individuals, and the reliability of answer results is poor.

Even if the strength of fatigue can be determined, it is not possible to select fatigue recovery means or evaluate the degree of recovery based on this.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such a conventional problem, and has constructed a Q & A type expert system to which a psychological test for exploring the tendency of fatigue is applied and individual differences. Fatigue, which is subjective information including, is evaluated objectively based on the relationship between the fatigue of the individual who has been clarified and the environmental factors surrounding it, and the degree of fatigue can be displayed numerically. The purpose is to provide a self-management system.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a fatigue self-management system that can display an optimal fatigue recovery method based on the objective numerical value of fatigue.

[0013]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a question storage means for storing a plurality of questions consisting of questions concerning background factors of fatigue and direct questions concerning fatigue. , Inputting means for inputting an answer to the question, personal characteristic determining means for determining a personal characteristic of the subject from the answer to the question concerning the background factors of the fatigue, and the personal characteristic determined for the fatigue. Correction value calculation means for calculating a correction value for removing the influence on the direct question answer, and principal component analysis for principal component analysis of the direct question answer regarding the fatigue to extract the first principal component Means, a fatigue degree calculating means for calculating the degree of fatigue by correcting the first principal component extracted from the answer to the direct question regarding fatigue, and storing the calculated degree of fatigue. That the fatigue level storage means, characterized in that it comprises a display means for displaying the results of calculations of the stored question for each, and the calculated degree of fatigue on the question storage means.

[0014]

In the fatigue self-management system according to the present invention, the display means displays a plurality of questions consisting of questions concerning background factors of fatigue stored in the question storage means and direct questions concerning fatigue. Next, the correction value calculation means according to the personal characteristics of the subject judged by the personal characteristics judgment means from the answers to the questions regarding the background factors of fatigue,
A correction value is calculated to eliminate the influence of the fatigue on the answer to the direct question.

The fatigue degree calculation means corrects the main component extracted from the answer to the direct question regarding fatigue by the correction value to calculate the fatigue degree.

The calculated fatigue level is displayed on the display unit after being determined by the reliability determination unit, and the fatigue recovery menu selection unit selects the fatigue recovery from the table stored in advance based on the fatigue level. The action menu is selected and displayed on the display means.

Therefore, while the direct question regarding fatigue is corrected by the question regarding the background factors of fatigue,
The reliability of the reply is judged by the reliability judging means.

Furthermore, since a pre-stored action menu for fatigue recovery is selected based on the degree of fatigue, it is possible to obtain the optimum guideline for fatigue recovery.

Next, it is determined whether or not all 87 questions have been answered (step S5).

When the answers to all the questions are obtained, the weighting coefficient calculation circuit 22 calculates the weighting coefficient used for determining the degree of fatigue (step S6). The operation of obtaining the weighting factor and calculating the overall fatigue level X _O will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

First, the control circuit 30 determines whether or not the answer is a direct question regarding fatigue (step S6-1),
If the question is not a direct question, it is determined that the question is a background factor of personal fatigue of the subject, and a principal component analysis is performed for each category (step S6-2). Then, it is determined whether the extracted main component is the first main component (step S6-
3), if it is the first main component, it is stored in the storage circuit 20.

If the data is other than the first principal component,
The contribution rate of this data is selected up to 80% (step S6
-4) and divide them into groups (step S6-
5) Then, a weighting factor is determined from the data grouped (step S6-6). From the weighting factor and the first principal component stored in the storage circuit 20, individual information that does not directly appear in the question is estimated (step S6-).
7).

On the other hand, in step S6-1, if the answer is a direct question regarding fatigue, the first principal component is extracted for each category (step S6-8), and the first principal component and the step S6 are extracted. by the individual information does not appear directly by estimated interrogated by -7 to determine the fatigue Z _O of fatigue Y _O and fatigue B fatigue a (step S6-9). The total fatigue level X _O is obtained from the fatigue levels Y _O and Z _O (step S7).

[0089]

[Table 18]

As explained above, the 87 questions are respectively related to aging degree, depression degree, adult disease risk degree, type A degree,
It is classified into the categories of alexemia degree, basic physical fitness, QOL degree, temporary fatigue (fatigue A) and chronic fatigue (fatigue B), and the scores are aggregated for each category, and based on this aggregated total score The personal condition of the subject is determined.

On the other hand, the calculations of steps S6-2 to S6-8 are executed based on the respective total scores.
That is, in step S6-3, the degree of aging, the degree of depression, the degree of adult disease risk, the degree of type A, the degree of alexemia,
And the score of the first principal component of each category of basic physical fitness is obtained by the following equation, and similarly, in step S6-8, the first principal component score of the answer to the direct question regarding fatigue is obtained by the following equation. ..

Principal component score = Σ (category coefficient) × {(sum of scores)-(average) / (standard deviation)} The principal component score of the category is a principal component that is one method of multivariate analysis. Perform an analysis.

Principal component analysis is, as has already been understood, a method in which the values of many variables are represented by a small number of comprehensive indices (principal components) without loss of information as much as possible, and a correlation matrix is used. Then, the principal components are obtained based on the standardized variables. By this calculation, the property of information can be clarified and the information can be compressed.

Next, in step S6-4, up to 80% of the principal components of each category are selected, and the vector analysis of the extracted principal components is performed. Table 19 shows the number of main components selected by this analysis.

[0095]

[Table 19]

Next, the first principal component is set as a category value for each category, and the second principal component to the nth principal component are grouped by a combination of common principal components,
Give meaning to each group.

By this grouping, common elements of background factors such as individual characteristics and behavior patterns are extracted, and personal information is sufficiently reflected when calculating the degree of fatigue. Table 20 shows the number of each group.

[0098]

[Table 20]

In order to give weights for correcting individual differences in fatigue values for each group shown in Table 20 above, a simple comparison between the first principal component and the fatigue A in the question category regarding the background factors of the subject's personal fatigue is given. In addition to taking the correlation, the simple correlation between the first principal component and the fatigue B is taken to determine the weighting coefficient for the degree of fatigue.

At this time, regarding the body shape, (ideal weight kg) = {(height cm) -100} × 0.9 (deviation% from ideal weight) = {(weight kg) / (ideal weight
kg)} × 100-100, and the simple correlation between the deviation from the ideal weight and the first principal component of fatigue A is calculated, and the simple correlation between the deviation and the first principal component of fatigue B is calculated to obtain the weighting factor. decide. Table 21 shows the correlation between each category and fatigue.

[0101]

[Table 21]

From these values, the fatigue value% is (fatigue value%) = (first principal component value% of fatigue) + Σ {(coefficient of group) × (first principal component value% of category) / 2
0}, and the total fatigue level _XO % is calculated by the following equation.

(Total Fatigue Degree X _O %) = {(Fatigue A Value%)
× 10 + (% of fatigue B value) × 20} / 30 As described above, the weighting factor calculation circuit 22 stores the weighting factor for each item based on the answers to the first to 56th questions. The total weight coefficient is obtained from each of the read weight coefficients. The total weight coefficient is stored in the storage circuit 20 by the control circuit 30.

The total fatigue degree X _O thus obtained
Degree of fatigue depending on the value of, for example, if the total fatigue level X _O is less than 10%, "almost no fatigue", 11% ≤ 2
5% are "slightly tired", 26% ≤ 50% are "tired", 51% ≤ 74% are "quite tired", 75
% ≦ 86% is judged as “tired”.

Next, the reliability calculation circuit 26 performs a calculation for confirming the reliability of the answer input by the subject (step S8), and determines whether or not the answer is reliable (step S9).

When answering the question, the subject may make an incorrect input because he / she is unfamiliar with the operation of the fatigue self-management system 10. Moreover, the subject may enter an answer different from the true state after hesitation. There is.

Therefore, based on the data of the correlation between the answer results of fatigue A and fatigue B, which are direct questions concerning fatigue, and the answer result of the QOL degree, the confirmation calculation of the reliability of the answer is performed.

First, y is obtained from the answer result of the QOL degree by the following equation, and y = k × QOL (2) This y is compared with the total fatigue degree X _O which is the answer result of fatigue A and fatigue B, It is determined whether or not the total fatigue level X _O has the relationship of the formula (3) with respect to the value of y obtained by the calculation of the formula (2).

Y (1-0.3) ≦ total fatigue degree X _O ≦ y (1 + 0.3) (3) If the total fatigue degree X _O is in the relationship of the above equation (3), the answer obtained is It is judged to be reliable, the password input in step S2-2 or step S2-5 is read (step S10), and the total fatigue level _X0 is stored in the memory circuit 20 together with this password (step S1).
1).

If the total fatigue level X _O is outside the range of the equation (3), it is judged that the answer is unreliable, and a comment for recommending that the subject should answer the question again,
