Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an exercise amount measurement management device having a function of measuring, accumulating and analyzing exercise intensity and human physiological information during exercise outdoors or indoors.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, inventions have been made to measure exercise quantity with high accuracy and to manage it accurately in order to carry out health management and physical fitness with an optimal menu tailored to each individual (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Sho 62-62). -32936 publication).

A conventional exercise amount measurement management device will be described below. As shown in FIG. 23, the popular pedometer 3
The reference numeral 1 indicates that when a hook 32 provided on the main body is attached to a belt of a measurer and vibration of a certain level or more is applied by using a pendulum or the like, that is, vibration due to walking is detected and the number of times of detection is displayed. It is configured to display a scale or numerical value on 33. The pedometer 31 is simple as a means for measuring the amount of "walking", which is a basic movement of human beings, and the walking itself is an effective means for maintaining health that anyone can do regardless of age and sex. It is widely accepted by health-conscious people about 10,000 steps a day.

As a method of quantitatively grasping the amount of exercise for the purpose of managing individual health and strengthening physical strength, a dedicated machine (strength training machine, row rowing, bicycle rowing, etc.) is used in a sports club or a training gym. Is most accurate, but in general, capturing walking or running by distance, that is, how many kilometers you have walked,
It is normal to think of how many kilometers you have jogging.
In the case of such exercise, the amount and intensity of exercise, or changes in exercise capacity are left to the subjective judgment of the exerciser. In addition, the meaning of "momentum" used here is
Not the momentum of "momentum = mass x velocity" in the mechanics,
It corresponds to the amount of energy required for exercise, that is, the amount of work of mechanics, and “exercise intensity (strength of exercise)” refers to the amount of energy per unit time required for that exercise or the force required for exercise.

The pedometer 31 described above simply integrates the number of vibrations equal to or greater than the reference value, and handles flat roads and steep slopes without distinction. Or, since there is no distinction between climbing up and down stairs and rushing feet, one big vibration and one small vibration are counted as the same step. However, in reality, even with the same single vibration, the actual exercise intensity greatly differs depending on the type of motion. Therefore, it is difficult to detect the momentum sufficiently quantitatively with the pedometer 31.

Further, the method of quantifying the amount of exercise based on the distance of walking or running has a drawback that the amount of exercise per unit time is not required. In other words, whether you walk slowly or run the same distance, it takes a lot of time, and it does not. This is a matter of course from a sensory point of view, but the following theoretical theory can be physically applied. That is, the amount of exercise by walking or running is given by the product of the force required for exercise (= exercise intensity) and the exercise distance according to the mechanics formula. Therefore, when quantifying by the exercise distance, if the force is not always constant, the exercise amount is quantified. It turns out that it does not happen.

Furthermore, since these methods do not have a means for objectively detecting the physiological information of the human body during exercise, the exercise amount adjustment is completely left to the exerciser's own judgment, and the exercise effect is expected. You may exercise too lightly or you may continue to work harder than you need, and in the worst case, can cause life-threatening situations such as heat stroke or acute heart attack.

Further, as shown in FIG. 24, an ergometer 34, which is used for measuring physical fitness as a device for measuring the amount of exercise and the human physiology in relation to each other, has a structure similar to a bicycle equipped with a foot pedal 35. It is configured to change the exercise intensity by adjusting the magnitude of the load applied to the pedal 35, and is equipped with a measuring device 36 that detects the heart rate of the person to be measured, and increases the load while pedaling the foot pedal 35 at a constant speed. By doing so, the oxygen uptake capacity of the measurer is calculated from the increase in the amount of exercise and the increase in the heart rate. In general, the ergometer 34 is equipped with a protection function for switching the load of the foot pedal 35 to the minimum when the heart rate exceeds a certain value so that the subject is not subjected to an excessive exercise load.

In an apparatus such as the ergometer 34 that performs exercise while detecting human physiological information, the exercise and the human physiological state are always associated with each other. Therefore, by adjusting the load in accordance with the physiological state of the exerciser, The load condition can be avoided. However, the optimal amount of exercise and the upper limit of the amount of exercise are determined by the exercise capacity of each individual, and there is no optimal index for all. In addition, the optimum amount of exercise is usually different depending on the reason for exercising, that is, for maintaining health or for strengthening physical strength. Therefore, in order to perform an optimal exercise that suits each individual's purpose, consider the exercise capacity information of each individual exerciser, the amount of exercise during exercise, the relationship between exercise intensity and physiological state, and changes in physical fitness level due to past training. It is necessary to set the amount of exercise and propose an exercise plan. Unfortunately, current ergometers 34 and similar exercise equipment do not allow such a high degree of personalized support.

Further, the ergometer 34 and the like are indoor training equipments, and it cannot be said that they are suitable for running and cycling in the suburbs in terms of exercise while enjoying.

[0011]

As described above, in the conventional configuration, there is a problem that the amount and intensity of exercise are insufficiently quantified, and the association between exercise and human physiological information is insufficient. In terms of health and physical fitness management, it is difficult to accumulate and analyze / evaluate data continuously.From the perspective of health management, not only exercise amount and strength, but also daily life such as eating and sleeping. Since it is necessary to make a comprehensive judgment that includes medical information such as relationships with people, constitution, physical examination, medical history, etc., it is indispensable to exchange information with such a database. There was a problem that it was difficult to do related health management.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its first object is to quantitatively detect the exercise state of an exerciser and accurately quantify the amount of exercise in various exercises. It detects the physiological information of the exercising person and grasps the relationship between the exercise and the physiological state, and at the same time, the appropriate exercising state that matches the physiologic state of the exercising person. The second purpose is to realize optimal exercise amount management for each exerciser based on accumulated data such as physical fitness improvement by training of people, daily life information including dietary life information, living life information, and medical information. The third is to collect exercise and physical physiology information during exercise, which is positioned as a part of overall health management information.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an exercise amount measurement management device for the purpose of.

The external input means 2 can input personal data such as the age and weight of an exerciser and the type of exercise, for example, data such as whether it is jogging or cycling, a target exercise amount set value, etc. prior to exercise. The data obtained by the exercise state measuring means 1 and the external input means 2 are stored in the data storage means 3.

The arithmetic processing means 4 has a function of performing a calculation using the data stored in the data storage means 3 and storing the result in the data storage means 3 again. For example, considering a case where a speed measuring means is used as the motion state measuring means 1, an integral calculation process is performed using the speed data stored in the data storage means 3 and the time data when the speed is detected. The moving distance during exercise is obtained by the, and the result is stored in the data storage means 3. Alternatively, the exercise intensity corresponding to the type of exercise is calculated and stored by using an exercise intensity coefficient in consideration of the type of exercise for the weight and moving speed of the exerciser.

The power supply means 6 supplies electric power required for the exercise state measuring means 1, the external input means 2, the data storage means 3, the arithmetic processing means 4 and the display means 5 to function.

With the above-mentioned structure, if the information such as the weight and the type of exercise is input using the external input means 2 before starting the exercise, the information is stored in the data storage means 3. Further, the motion state measuring means 1 detects the motion state such as the moving speed and the magnitude of vibration during the exercise, and the information is stored in the data storage means 3. The arithmetic processing means 4 uses these data to calculate the intensity and amount of exercise and stores the results in the data storage means 3. The measurement data or the calculation processing result can be arbitrarily displayed on the display unit 5, and the exerciser can know the information.

It is also possible to separate the display means 5 from the main body of the apparatus and attach it to the wrist like a wristwatch, for example, to facilitate visual recognition during exercise.

(Embodiment 2) A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, in addition to the configuration of the first embodiment, at least one state of human physiological information during exercise, for example, heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, respiratory rate, etc., is changed every second. The human body information measuring unit 8 has a function of detecting and storing the data in the data storing unit 3.

The human body information measuring means 8 can accurately grasp the physiological information of the exercising person during exercise. That is,
The exerciser can continue the exercise while objectively grasping his / her condition numerically. Depending on the physical condition of the day, the same amount of exercise may make you feel comfortable or very difficult, so it is difficult to always maintain an appropriate amount of exercise. You can control exactly.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, by providing the human body information measuring means 8 in addition to the structure of the first embodiment, it is possible to know the human body physiological information during the exercise, the exercise amount, or The relationship between exercise intensity and physiological state can be clearly established, and it can be utilized as an index of optimal exercise amount.

(Embodiment 3) A third embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, in addition to the configuration of the above-described second embodiment, personal data, past amount of exercise over a long period of time, and human physiological information during exercise are received from an external database prior to the start of exercise. A configuration including a data transmitting / receiving unit 9 having a function and having a function of transmitting the amount of exercise and human physiological information during exercise to an external database or another health management system using these data after the exercise. Is.

Since the data transmission / reception means 9 can exchange data with an external database, it is possible to more easily take in detailed data that could not be input by the external input means 2 alone, and the details during exercise. Data can be sent to an external database, such as a health care system. That is, when exercising, the information in daily life is used to determine the optimum amount of exercise, and after the exercise, detailed information during exercise can be utilized for health management in daily life. As described above, since a high-level health management system is expected to be used by a large number of people in hospitals, sports clubs, etc., it is essential to have a function capable of transmitting and receiving data accurately.

As described above, according to this embodiment, in addition to the configuration of the second embodiment, by providing the data transmitting / receiving means 9, data can be exchanged with an external database or another system. It is easy to do, and various data during exercise and health / medical information data in daily life can be used for health management in a mutually linked form.

(Fourth Embodiment) A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 5, the present embodiment has a configuration in which an acceleration measuring means 10 is provided as the motion state measuring means 1 in the configuration of the above-mentioned first embodiment. Although the acceleration is used as a means for detecting the motion state in the same manner as the conventional pedometer, in this embodiment, the strength of the motion is calculated by measuring the absolute value of the acceleration, and the amount of the motion is quantitatively determined. Perform the required processing. That is, the intensity of vibrations due to the movement of the body is different when walking and when running, and naturally,
The runners will be subject to stronger vibrations. Therefore, the momentum can be quantitatively obtained by converting the intensity of the vibration into the intensity of the exercise. In the conventional pedometer, 10,000 steps are 10,000 steps even if walking or running, but in the exercise amount measurement management device of the present embodiment, the running amount is larger than the walking amount even if the same 10,000 steps are taken. It becomes possible to manage the amount of exercise according to the reality.

As described above, according to this embodiment, by providing the acceleration measuring means 10 as the motion state measuring means 1, it becomes possible to quantitatively evaluate the strength of the motion.
For example, the amount of exercise can be obtained by distinguishing between walking and running.

In this embodiment, the human body information measuring means 8 and the data transmitting / receiving means 9 are not included, but the acceleration state measuring means 1 is also provided as the motion state measuring means 1 in the configuration including these means. It goes without saying that the same effect as that of this embodiment can be obtained.

(Fifth Embodiment) A fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the present embodiment has a configuration in which an acceleration measuring means 10 and an atmospheric pressure measuring means 11 are provided as the motion state measuring means 1 in the construction of the first embodiment.
By measuring atmospheric pressure in addition to acceleration as a means for detecting a motion state, it becomes possible to consider changes in altitude during motion. That is, by converting a change in atmospheric pressure measured during exercise into a change in altitude, it is possible to accurately quantify the amount of exercise on undulating land. For example, if the atmospheric pressure drops by 1 mb during exercise, it means that the altitude has risen by about 8 m. Therefore, as compared with the case of exercising in a flat place, the strength of the exercise is increased by an amount of about 8 m. This is a natural feeling during exercise and is a factor to be considered for quantifying the amount of exercise.

Although there is no change in altitude during exercise, when physically exercising at a high altitude, the physical load becomes larger than usual because the oxygen concentration is low. This situation becomes remarkable when the altitude is 100 m or more, but at this time,
Since the atmospheric pressure is reduced by about 100 mb, it can be distinguished from the change in atmospheric pressure simply due to changes in weather conditions.

For altitude changes during exercise and exercise in high altitudes, a conversion factor for exercise intensity is set in advance, and the amount of exercise is calculated using this value.
Has been set.

As described above, according to this embodiment, as the momentum measuring means 1, the acceleration measuring means 10 and the atmospheric pressure measuring means 1 are used.
By providing both 1 and 2, it becomes possible to evaluate the momentum considering the elevation and the undulation of the land.

In the present embodiment, the human body information measuring means 8 and the data transmitting / receiving means 9 are not included, but the same effects as in the present embodiment can be obtained even in the arrangement including these means. Needless to say.

(Embodiment 6) A sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 8, this embodiment has the same structure as that of the above-described first embodiment, but the speed measuring means 12 as the motion state measuring means 1.
And a weight measuring means 13 and a posture measuring means 14, and
This is a configuration in which the entire device is built in and mounted on a bicycle. In this embodiment, the focus is on exercise by a bicycle, that is, quantification of the amount of exercise during cycling. Exercise intensity during cycling depends on running speed, total weight, and land slope. Here, a method of detecting the rotation speed of the tire is adopted as the speed measuring means 12. Further, the weight measuring means 13 provided on the front and rear wheel supporting portions detects the total weight of the weight of the bicycle excluding the tires and the weight of the driver. Furthermore, whether or not the bicycle is kept horizontal by the posture measuring means 14, is raised forward, or
You can see if it is going down. As a matter of course, an upward slope is expected when the front rises, and a downward slope is expected when the front falls. The calculation processing means 4 performs conversion corresponding to the exercise intensity.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the speed measuring means 1
In some cases, both the ground speed measuring means 12a and the air speed measuring means 12b may be provided as the configuration 2. The ground speed measuring means 12a, like the speed measuring means 12, measures by detecting the rotation speed of the tire. The airspeed measuring means 12b measures the speed of the airflow using, for example, a Pitot tube. By using both of them, it is possible to consider the effects of head wind and tail wind. In other words, when the airspeed is lower than the ground speed, it means that the wind is blowing in the direction of travel, that is, the tailwind is blowing, and it is necessary to estimate the strength of exercise slightly weakly. Recognize. On the contrary, when the airspeed is higher than the ground speed, it means that a head wind is blowing, and it is necessary to estimate the exercise intensity to a large degree. As described above, by using the two types of speedometers, the momentum can be obtained more accurately.

As described above, according to this embodiment, as the motion state measuring means 1, the speed measuring means 12 and the weight measuring means 1 are used.
3 and the posture measuring means 14 are provided and mounted on a bicycle, it is possible to quantify the amount of cycling exercise in consideration of the traveling speed, the total weight, and the slope of the land. Further, as the speed measuring means 12, a ground speed measuring means 12a
By providing the airspeed measuring means 12b and the airspeed measuring means 12b, it becomes possible to evaluate the amount of exercise taking into consideration the effects of a headwind and a tailwind.

In this embodiment, the human body information measuring means 8
However, it is needless to say that the same effect as that of the present embodiment can be obtained even in the configuration including these means.

(Embodiment 7) A seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 10, the present embodiment has the function of accumulating past data as the data storage means 3 in the configuration of the above-mentioned first embodiment, and compares and displays the past data and the present data. The display means 5a and the display means 5b are provided. With this configuration, one display means 5a can display the data currently being exercised, and the other display means 5b can display the past data stored in the data storage means 3. A plurality of past data are stored in the data storage means 3, and which data is displayed can be arbitrarily selected. For example, by comparing and displaying data obtained when the same exercise was previously performed, information such as whether or not the pace is higher than before can be obtained, and a change in one's ability can be grasped. Alternatively, the exercise ability can be compared by comparing with the data of another person who has performed the same exercise. In this way, by comparing with the past or with other persons, it becomes possible to actually feel the effect of the exercise, not just the numerical value, so that the exercise can be continued more effectively.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the data storage means 3 has a function of accumulating past data and a plurality of display means 5a having a function of comparing and displaying past and present data. By providing 5b, the change of one's own athletic ability and comparison with others can be facilitated.

In this embodiment, the human body information measuring means 8
However, it is needless to say that the same effect as that of the present embodiment can be obtained even in the configuration including these means. In particular, in the configuration including the human body information measuring means 8, information such as the heart rate and blood pressure during exercise can be obtained, so that the comparison with the past and the comparison with another person can be performed in more detail. Further, in the configuration including the data transmitting / receiving means 9, the data to be compared can be fetched from the outside, so that a wider range of comparative study can be performed.

With this configuration, one's own data can be managed separately from the data of others, and data management can be performed easily and accurately in a state where a plurality of people use the exercise amount measurement management device, for example, in a sports club. In addition, a large amount of data can be accumulated and managed without having to worry about the storage capacity of the data storage means 3, and the data can be handed over even when analyzing the data during exercise with other health management system or the like. Can be done easily.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, by making the data storage medium 15 of the data storage means 3 detachable from the main body of the apparatus, the data storage medium 1 is separated for each user.
5 can be assigned, and data of a plurality of people can be easily managed without making a mistake.

The solar power generation unit 17 is formed on the surface of the device body, and its performance and area are determined so that a sufficient amount of power generation can be obtained to cover the power consumption of the device body. A typical example of the solar power generation means 17 is called a solar battery, which produces electric power when its surface is exposed to light,
Recently, it has been widely used in watches, calculators, and solar cars. The generated electric power is not only sent to each part of the apparatus main body as it is, but also surplus electric power exceeding the consumption amount is stored in the power storage means 18. Therefore, when a sufficient amount of light is not obtained due to exercise at night, the electric power stored in the power storage means 18 is consumed, so that it can be used at night or indoors by periodically charging it with light.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, by providing the solar power generation means 17 and the electricity storage means 18 as the power supply means 6, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience that the apparatus body cannot be used due to battery replacement or battery exhaustion. .

Exercise power generation means 19
Is a means to convert the vibrations and rotational movements generated by movements into electric power. Recently, a very small power source for wristwatches has been put into practical use, and the vibrations obtained by movements are converted into pendulum movements. The gear mechanism is used to create high-speed rotary motion and generate electricity. In addition, a generator (dynamo) that uses the rotation of tires has been used for a long time as a power source for night illumination in bicycles. Since the exercise power generation means 19 is mounted and the exercise leads to the supply of electric power, it is possible to always use the apparatus body without having to worry about battery replacement and charging. In addition, by providing the power storage means 18, it is possible to store surplus power during exercise, and it can be used as auxiliary power even when sufficient power generation cannot be obtained with a very small amount of exercise.

An example of the logical algorithm of the physical fitness determination and the exercise amount advice function will be described with reference to FIG.

When physical strength determination and exercise amount advice are performed by paying attention to the exercise amount and the heart rate in the past exercise data, first, referring to a plurality of past data stored in the data storage means 3 as an arithmetic processing procedure. Then, it is compared whether or not the amount of exercise each time tends to decrease, and further, it is examined how the maximum heart rate during the exercise changes.
If the amount of exercise is decreasing and the maximum heart rate is increasing or equal, it is determined that the physical fitness is decreasing during that period. On the contrary, when the amount of exercise is equal or increasing and the maximum heart rate is decreasing, it is determined that the physical strength is increasing. In cases other than the above, it is determined that the physical strength is maintained. These judgment results are transmitted to the exerciser by the display means 5. Further, based on the determination result of the physical strength level, the display unit 5 displays the advice display of the optimum exercise amount. As concrete advice contents,
One can think of something like "keep exercising for about 20 minutes while keeping your heart rate at 120-130". If you set this heart rate and exercise time according to your physical fitness level, it will be possible to give detailed advice tailored to the individual's level, and whether it is exercise for maintaining physical strength or exercise for strengthening physical strength. By inputting from the external input means 2, it is possible to give advice on the optimum amount of exercise according to the purpose of exercise.

As described above, by judging the physical fitness level of an individual from the past exercise data, the so-called average value exercise amount advice for everyone can be upgraded to a personal exercise amount advice that matches each person.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the arithmetic processing means 4 is provided with the function of judging the physical strength based on the transition of the past data and the function of giving the exercise amount advice based on the result of the physical exercise. It is possible to give optimal exercise advice according to the individual's athletic ability, the degree of improvement in physical strength, or the purpose of exercise.

It should be noted that the data transmission / reception means 9 is provided, or the portable exercise amount measurement management device that is not mounted on the bicycle is provided with the physical strength determination and exercise amount advice function based on the past movement data. The same effect as the present embodiment can be obtained.

Is for exchanging data with an external database, and it is possible to more easily capture detailed data that could not be input by the external input means 2 alone, and detailed data during exercise can be stored in an external database, For example, it can be sent to a health management system or the like. In other words, when exercising, it is used to determine the optimal amount of exercise by taking in past exercise data, information on daily life, or medical data, and after exercise, it sends detailed information during exercise. This means that it can be used for health management in daily life. The communication line for transmitting and receiving data can be connected one-to-one by using a dedicated or general-purpose code.
When considering the connection with the AN, it is effective to use the jack type that can be connected from a plurality of places. As an external system for transmitting and receiving data to and from the exercise amount measurement management device of the present embodiment, there is a database system of a sports club that needs to manage exercise data of members, a management system in a hospital, or a LAN including them. Although it is conceivable, when it is expected that data transmission and reception will be performed constantly and in large quantities in this way, a dedicated communication line is laid, or a wired communication means 22 that meets the specifications of the existing LAN is provided. Is effective. By arranging communication lines so that the data transmission / reception means 9 of the exercise amount measurement management device of this embodiment and the dedicated communication line can be connected at a plurality of places, the trouble of carrying the device main body for data transmission / reception is greatly increased.
