Description

競走馬の監視装置、監視システム、状態評価システム及び状態評価方法Racehorse monitoring device, monitoring system, state evaluation system, and state evaluation method
 本発明は、競走馬の監視装置、監視システム、状態評価システム及び状態評価方法に関し、特に離れた場所で管理される競走馬を一の管理者が監視できる装置、システムなどに関する。 The present invention relates to a racehorse monitoring device, a monitoring system, a state evaluation system, and a state evaluation method, and more particularly to a device, a system, and the like that allow a single administrator to monitor a racehorse managed at a remote location.
 競馬の競走馬は、厩舎において当該厩舎を運営する調教師をはじめ、調教助手、調教厩務員、厩務員といった厩舎関係者により管理、調教されて、競馬場でのレースに出走する。通常、調教師、調教助手など(以下、「管理者」という)は、一人当たり複数頭の競走馬の管理、調教を受け持っており、調教は、厩舎に隣接するトレーニングセンター内の各コースなどにおいて管理者の監視下で行われている。 Racehorses of horse races are managed and trained by stable personnel such as trainers who operate the stables in the stables, as well as training assistants, training officers, and general staff, and run on the racetrack. Usually, trainers and training assistants (hereinafter referred to as “administrators”) are responsible for managing and training multiple racehorses per person, and training is performed in each course in the training center adjacent to the stable. It is done under the supervision of the administrator.
 現在、日本中央競馬会においてトレーニングセンターは、関東地方と関西地方との2つの地域に設置され、他方、競馬場は、北海道から九州に亘る全国に10箇所点在されている。 Currently, training centers are established in the Japan Central Horse Racing Association in two areas, the Kanto region and the Kansai region, while 10 racetracks are scattered throughout the country from Hokkaido to Kyushu.
 競馬の開催は、所定の開催日程で、上記10箇所のうち2又は3箇所の競馬場において毎週開催されるといった日程で行われている。例えば、夏期は、北海道と九州の競馬場で同時開催されることがあり、このとき、競走馬は、関東や関西にある厩舎から遠くに離れた競馬場への輸送の関係から、前もって競馬場に備えられた厩舎に滞在させ、当該競馬場のコースで調教を行ったうえでレースに出走させることが頻繁に行われる。 Horse races are held on a predetermined schedule and are held every week at two or three of the ten locations. For example, during the summer season, it may be held simultaneously at the racetracks in Hokkaido and Kyushu. It is often done to stay in the stables prepared for the race, and to run on the race after training on the course of the racetrack.
 上記のように、管理者自らが管理する競走馬を競馬場に滞在させて調教する場合、自ら管理する他の競走馬との関係で、どうしても競馬場まで帯同できない場合があり、このようなときには、他の管理者に競走馬を預け、調教メニューなど管理方法を指示し、代わりに管理、調教してもらうことがよくある。そして、管理者は、他の管理者のもと実際に行われた調教など競走馬の情報を、他の管理者から電話、ファックスなどで連絡を受け、競走馬の状態を把握することになる。 As mentioned above, when a racehorse managed by the manager himself stays at the racetrack and trains, there may be cases where it is impossible to accompany the racetrack due to the relationship with other racehorses managed by himself / herself. , I often leave the racehorses to other managers, instruct them on management methods such as the training menu, and have them manage and train instead. Then, the administrator will receive information on the racehorse such as training actually conducted under other managers from other managers by telephone, fax, etc., and grasp the status of the racehorse. .
 しかしながら、競走馬を預けた管理者は、上記競走馬の情報の連絡を受けたとしても、その情報が本当のものか確認することができない場合があり、また、競走馬の日ごろの様子や癖などはその競走馬の管理者が最もよく知るところ、代理の他の管理者には、競走馬のちょっとした仕草、わずかな状態の変化を見て取ることが困難であり、競走馬のケガ、故障など重大な事故に繋がるサインを見落とす危険性がある。 However, even if the administrator who has entrusted the racehorse is informed of the information about the racehorse, it may not be able to confirm that the information is true. It is difficult for the manager of the race horse to know the best, but it is difficult for the other managers of the surrogate to see the slight change of the race horse's gesture, slight change, serious injury such as race horse injury, breakdown etc. There is a risk of overlooking a sign that leads to a serious accident.
 ところで、トレーニングセンターや競馬場のコースにおける走破タイムなどの情報を自動的に収集するシステムが、特許文献1に提案されている。このシステムは、競走馬に馬体判別情報表示器具と、位置計測・送信装置とを装着し、コースに沿う所定の地点に通過信号検知装置を設置しておき、上記位置計測・送信装置と上記通過信号検知装置から収集した情報を受けて、競走馬のスタートの絶対位置情報とコースおよび通過地点の絶対位置情報及び並走した競走馬の相対位置情報から走行時刻毎の位置情報を解析して補正し追尾情報を生成する追尾情報生成コンピュータシステムと、上記生成された追尾情報を競走馬、レース、コース、騎乗騎手、コース状況情報を付加して整理記録し、配信要求に応答して配信する走行データ管理コンピュータシステムとから構成されたものである。 By the way, Patent Document 1 proposes a system that automatically collects information such as running time in a training center or racetrack course. In this system, a horse identification information display device and a position measurement / transmission device are attached to a racehorse, a passing signal detection device is installed at a predetermined point along the course, and the position measurement / transmission device and the position measurement / transmission device are installed. Based on the information collected from the passing signal detector, the position information for each running time is analyzed from the absolute position information of the racehorse start, the absolute position information of the course and the passing point, and the relative position information of the racehorses that run in parallel. A tracking information generation computer system that corrects and generates tracking information, organizes and records the generated tracking information with racehorse, race, course, riding jockey, and course status information, and distributes it in response to a distribution request It is comprised from a driving | running | working data management computer system.

 以下、本発明を実施の形態について、添付図面に基づき詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
 <実施の形態1>
 図1及び図2を参照して、実施の形態1の監視システムは、計測部として、5つの監視装置10,11,12,13,14、計測制御用コンピュータ20及びGPS受信機30を含み、解析部として解析用コンピュータ40を含む。なお、図示しないが、監視装置10,11,12,13,14及び計測制御用コンピュータ20は、駆動用の電池(バッテリー)を含む。
<Embodiment 1>
1 and 2, the monitoring system according to the first embodiment includes five monitoring devices 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, a measurement control computer 20 and a GPS receiver 30 as measurement units. An analysis computer 40 is included as an analysis unit. Although not shown, the monitoring devices 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 and the measurement control computer 20 include a driving battery (battery).
 なお、ここでは、計測制御用コンピュータ20と解析用コンピュータ40とを別個のコンピュータとするようにしているが、1つのコンピュータに両者の機能を備えさせるようにして用いてもよい。また、別体としているGPS受信機30を監視装置10,11,12,13,14の一部乃至全部、又は計測制御用コンピュータに内蔵させて用いてもよい。 Note that, here, the measurement control computer 20 and the analysis computer 40 are separate computers, but one computer may be provided with the functions of both. Further, a separate GPS receiver 30 may be used by being incorporated in a part or all of the monitoring devices 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 or a measurement control computer.
 監視装置10,11,12,13,14は、その外観が例えば約5cm×4cm×1cmという小型の樹脂ケースからなり、競走馬の4つの脚部及び頭部のそれぞれに装着され(図2参照)、各部位の動きを検知して動作データを計測する。監視装置10,11,12,13,14は、角速度センサ15、送受信部16等を備え、また各監視装置10,11,12,13,14は識別データを有しており、この識別データにより競走馬のどの部位の動作データかが計測制御用コンピュータ20及び解析用コンピュータ40において判別できるようにされている。角速度センサ15は競走馬の脚部等の各部位の動作を検出するためのものであるから、角速度センサ15としては、少なくとも1軸の角速度を検出可能なものを使用でき、よって、1軸角速度センサ、2軸角速度センサ又は3軸角速度センサを使用することができるが、競走馬の各部位の複雑な動きを検出するためには、3軸角速度センサを用いるのが好ましい。また、角速度センサ15は、例えば100Hzなど所定周期で(一定時間ごとに)所定軸回りの角速度を検出する。さらに、角速度センサ15で検出した角速度データは、図示しないRAM又はROMなどの記憶部(バッファメモリ)に一時的に記憶される。そして、送受信部16は、角速度センサ15で検出した角速度データを、例えば一定時間ごとにまたは所定タイミングで計測制御用コンピュータ20に送信する。送受信部16としては、例えばBluetooth(登録商標)のような近距離無線通信手段を用いることができる。 The monitoring devices 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 have a small resin case having an appearance of, for example, about 5 cm × 4 cm × 1 cm, and are mounted on each of the four legs and the head of the racehorse (see FIG. 2). ), Measuring movement data by detecting the movement of each part. The monitoring devices 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 include an angular velocity sensor 15, a transmission / reception unit 16, and the like, and each monitoring device 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 has identification data. The operation data of which part of the racehorse can be determined by the measurement control computer 20 and the analysis computer 40. Since the angular velocity sensor 15 is for detecting the movement of each part such as a leg portion of a racehorse, the angular velocity sensor 15 can be one that can detect an angular velocity of at least one axis. Although a biaxial angular velocity sensor or a triaxial angular velocity sensor can be used, it is preferable to use a triaxial angular velocity sensor in order to detect complicated movement of each part of the racehorse. Further, the angular velocity sensor 15 detects an angular velocity around a predetermined axis at a predetermined cycle such as 100 Hz (for every predetermined time). Further, the angular velocity data detected by the angular velocity sensor 15 is temporarily stored in a storage unit (buffer memory) such as a RAM or a ROM (not shown). Then, the transmission / reception unit 16 transmits the angular velocity data detected by the angular velocity sensor 15 to the measurement control computer 20 at regular time intervals or at a predetermined timing, for example. As the transmitter / receiver 16, for example, a short-range wireless communication unit such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) can be used.
 角速度センサ15は、少なくとも水平方向軸回りの回転に応じた角速度を検出するように、競走馬の脚部などに取り付けられ、例えば競走馬の脚部の前後、上下方向への振り上げ(回転)に応じた角速度データを計測することができる。この角速度センサ15の水平方向軸回りの角速度の検出方向については、前方向回りを正方向に、後方向回りを負方向に設定しておき、競走馬の脚部が前に振り上げられると正の角速度データが検出され、後ろに蹴り上げられると負の角速度データが検出される。したがって、計測制御用コンピュータ20では、このような角速度センサ15の角速度データを解析することによって、競走馬がどのような動作を行ったのかを判定することがきる。なお、監視装置10,11,12,13,14は、例えば包帯のようなバンテージやサポータ、マジックテープ(登録商標)等で競走馬に装着することができる。 The angular velocity sensor 15 is attached to a leg portion of the racehorse so as to detect at least an angular velocity according to rotation around the horizontal axis. For example, angular velocity data according to swinging (rotation) up and down and up and down of the leg portion of the racehorse. Can be measured. As for the detection direction of the angular velocity about the horizontal axis of the angular velocity sensor 15, the forward rotation is set to the positive direction, the backward rotation is set to the negative direction, and the positive angular velocity data is obtained when the legs of the racehorse are swung forward. Is detected and negative angular velocity data is detected when it is kicked back. Therefore, the measurement control computer 20 can determine what operation the racehorse has performed by analyzing the angular velocity data of the angular velocity sensor 15. The monitoring devices 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 can be attached to the racehorse using, for example, bandages such as bandages, supporters, Velcro (registered trademark), or the like.
 計測制御用コンピュータ20は、データ計測を行うために騎手もしくは競走馬の例えば首部、胴部などに装着される。計測制御用コンピュータ20としては、各種コンピュータを広く用いることができるが、例えばPDA(携帯情報端末)など小型もしくは携帯用のものを好ましく用いることができる。 The measurement control computer 20 is attached to a jockey or a racehorse, for example, the neck or torso to perform data measurement. Various computers can be widely used as the measurement control computer 20, but a small or portable computer such as a PDA (personal digital assistant) can be preferably used.
 計測制御用コンピュータ20は、図示は省略するが、CPU、ROM、RAM、通信装置及びデータ転送部等を備えており、ROMには制御プログラムおよび必要なデータが予め記憶され、RAMはワークメモリおよびバッファメモリとして使用され、生成したデータや取得したデータ等を一時的に記憶し、通信装置は監視装置10,11,12,13,14に制御信号を送信したり、監視装置10,11,12,13,14の送受信部16により送信された角速度センサ15が検出した動作データを受信したりし、データ転送部は監視装置10,11,12,13,14から受信した監視データ(計測データ)などを解析用コンピュータ40に専用ケーブルを介して転送するものである。なお、監視データなどを解析用コンピュータ40に無線通信により転送する場合は通信装置を用いて行うことができ、データ転送部を不要にできる。 Although not shown, the measurement control computer 20 includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, a communication device, a data transfer unit, and the like. The ROM stores a control program and necessary data in advance. Used as a buffer memory, temporarily stores generated data, acquired data, and the like. The communication device transmits a control signal to the monitoring devices 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14, or the monitoring devices 10, 11, 12 , 13, 14, the operation data detected by the angular velocity sensor 15 transmitted by the transmission / reception unit 16, and the data transfer unit receives monitoring data (measurement data) received from the monitoring devices 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. Are transferred to the analysis computer 40 via a dedicated cable. Note that when monitoring data or the like is transferred to the analysis computer 40 by wireless communication, it can be performed using a communication device, and a data transfer unit can be dispensed with.
 GPS受信機30は、競走馬の現在の位置を検出するための位置検出装置であり、例えば競走馬、騎手等に装着(携帯)させる。GPS受信機30は、GPS衛星からの信号を、例えば1Hzの所定周期で(一定時間ごとに)受信して、現在地の座標(緯度、経度、高度)を算出し、現在位置の座標を含む位置データを計測制御用コンピュータ20に出力する。 The GPS receiver 30 is a position detection device for detecting the current position of the racehorse, and is mounted (carried) on, for example, a racehorse or a jockey. The GPS receiver 30 receives a signal from a GPS satellite, for example, at a predetermined cycle of 1 Hz (at regular intervals), calculates the coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude) of the current location, and includes the coordinates of the current position Data is output to the measurement control computer 20.
 計測制御用コンピュータ20は、監視装置10,11,12,13,14から受信した角速度データ、及びGPS受信機30から受信した位置データを、計測データとしてメモリに記録する。なお、角速度データおよび位置データでは、角速度値及び座標は、それぞれ検出時刻または取得時刻に対応付けて記憶されている。 The measurement control computer 20 records the angular velocity data received from the monitoring devices 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 and the position data received from the GPS receiver 30 as measurement data in a memory. In the angular velocity data and the position data, the angular velocity value and the coordinates are stored in association with the detection time or the acquisition time, respectively.
 記録された計測データは、計測制御用コンピュータ20から解析用コンピュータ40に転送(送信)されて解析用コンピュータ40に取り込まれる。なお、計測データは、記憶媒体を介して解析用コンピュータ40に取り込むようにしてもよい。解析用コンピュータ40は、計測データを解析して、競走馬の調教、状態を評価し、評価結果を出力するためのものである。解析用コンピュータ40としては、例えばパーソナルコンピュータを用いることができる。解析用コンピュータ40は、図示は省略するが、CPU、ROM、RAM、HDD、通信装置、データ転送部および入力装置等を備え、さらに評価結果を出力するための画像表示装置、プリンタ等の出力装置を備えている。ROMは制御プログラム(解析プログラムを含む)及び必要なデータを予め記憶している。RAMはワークメモリおよびバッファメモリとして使用され、生成したデータや取得したデータ等を一時記憶し、HDDは計測データ、解析データ等を記録する。通信装置は、計測制御用コンピュータ20との間でデータを送受信する。 The recorded measurement data is transferred (transmitted) from the measurement control computer 20 to the analysis computer 40 and taken into the analysis computer 40. The measurement data may be taken into the analysis computer 40 via a storage medium.
