Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Use The present invention is used in the field of medical testing and collection of test data.

The present invention relates to an automatic examination equipment system, such as an automatic interview device, an automatic visual acuity meter, an automatic color meter, and an automatic hearing needle, which proceed with the examination based on the responses of the examinee.

(B) Prior Art The testing time of each of the above-mentioned devices is determined by the response speed of the subject, the testing sequence depending on the content, and the like. Therefore, large variations in the time required for testing depending on each patient are noticeable, which impedes the flow of patients in the examination site in terms of location and time during group health checkups, comprehensive health checkups, and the like.

The reason for the large difference in test time is mostly due to differences in the response speed of the test subjects. For example, in the case of a visual acuity test, it is unclear whether the break in the Landolt ring is up, down, left, or right, making people hesitant to respond. In this case, it is often difficult to know where the cut is, and the user should press the "Unknown" button, but it is difficult to do so. Also, in the case of a medical interview, if the question is neither "yes" nor "no", the patient will think deeply and hesitate before answering. in this case,
You should press the "Neither" button.

Under these circumstances, the examination time may take a long time depending on the subject.

(C) Purpose The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate large variations in test time depending on the response speed of the test subject, without reducing test accuracy, and to enable the test to proceed smoothly and rationally. , to provide an automatic testing equipment system.

2) Configuration In addition to the automatic inspection equipment, the above purpose includes a response instruction display for inspection items, multiple response signal generators, an audio display for prompting a response, a clock that starts after displaying the response instruction, and time T
If there is a response within time T2, timer 1 is reset, and the clock starts after the reminder voice is displayed. If there is a response within fixed time T2, timer 2 is reset, and if there is no response within time T2. , a simulated signal generator that is generated as a specific response signal, and a control device for these, and if there is a response, the next response instruction display and time T1
The voice display when there is no response within the test and the collection of test data can be achieved by having the control device manage and process the procedures.

For example, if there is no response for a certain period of time (several seconds) after displaying the contents of a medical interview or an eye chart, for example, "Please respond quickly. If the response is slow, proceed to the next display screen." Perform audio display. If there is no response for a certain period of time after outputting the audio display, it is determined that the item being displayed is "unknown" or "neither", the next display screen is output, and the test proceeds.

(e) Example A preferred embodiment of the invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the embodiment (1), and FIG. 2 is a time chart showing an example of application.

Therefore, 10 is an automatic inspection equipment and control device, 12 is an inspection list display device or a response instruction display/device, 14 is a response signal generator having a plurality of response switches, 16 is an audio display device, 18 is a timer Al2O is a timer B122 is a waveform shaper or simulated response signal generator.

At the same time as the TD card is inserted into the automatic testing equipment 20, the first display screen address is output from the control device 10 to the test sheet display device 12 such as a slide or CRT. The display device 12 is driven to display what is at the designated screen address. While the display device 12 is being driven, the busy signal A becomes an H level signal, and becomes an L level signal when the display screen 12 stops.

At the same time that this busy signal A goes to L level, timer A
18 starts the clock.

Part (a) of the time chart shown in Figure 2 is when there is a response within the time, and at the same time timer A is reset at the trailing edge of the response signal (H pulse), the next display screen is displayed depending on the content of the response. The address is output from the control device 10 to the display device 12, and the busy signal from the display device 12 becomes H level, and becomes L level at the same time as the display screen 12 becomes stationary.

Next, part (b) of the time chart is ■ Fixed time Tl
If there is no response within this time, timer A turns on (H level). By outputting this signal to the control device 12,
The control device 12 outputs an audio display command and an audio display address to the audio display device 16 at the leading edge of this H level signal.

The audio display device 16 sets the busy signal B to H level during audio display, and changes to L level at the same time as the audio display ends. Timer B
When timer A has an H level signal and busy signal B has become L level, timer B starts clocking. If there is a response within the time, timer A and timer B are reset.

At the same time, the busy signal A becomes H level in order to output the next display screen.

Also, part (c) of the time chart is ■ Fixed time T2
If there is no response within this time, timer B turns on (H level). The H level signal from timer B is sent to the waveform shaping circuit 22.
An H pulse (response simulation signal) is generated at the leading edge of the H level.

This signal forms an OR circuit with the signal corresponding to the "1 unknown" button in the actual response signal, so this response simulation signal enters the control device 10, and the control device 10 displays the next screen according to the response content. The address is output to the display device 12 and the screen is displayed.

At the same time, timer A and timer B are each reset at the trailing edge of this simulated response signal. In this manner, the sequence of screen displays is managed and processed by the control device 10 simultaneously with the collection of test data.

According to the present invention, if time (Tl+T2) is added to the driving time of the two displays I2.1G and multiplied by the number of display times N,
The longest inspection time is calculated.

(f) Effects The present invention has been shown to reduce the variation in test time to within 8 to 15 minutes, whereas it has been previously recorded that there is a large variation in test time of 8 to 40 minutes per person for 80 interviews. In this case, the response after outputting the audio display will inevitably become faster, and considering the safety factor, especially in group examinations involving a large number of people, it is possible to eliminate the need for multiple extra devices. This effect is achieved.
