Abstract
Description
本発明の第1実施形態を説明する。図1は、本発明の第1実施形態に係るセンサユニットSUの外観斜視図である。図2は、センサユニットSUにおける筐体3内の構成を示す模式図である。センサユニットSUは、部品群1、基板2及び筐体3を備える。基板2上に部品群1を構成する各電子部品が実装される。部品群1が実装された基板2は、所定形状を有する樹脂又は金属にて形成された筐体3内に収容及び固定される。筐体3は厚みが比較的薄い円筒形状を有しており、結果、センサユニットSUはメダル形状を有しているため、センサユニットSUをセンサメダルと呼ぶこともできる。筐体3の外形形状は厳密に円筒形状である必要は無く、例えば、円筒の底面に相当する部分が湾曲していても良い。更に、筐体3の外形形状は円筒形状以外でも良く、例えば直方体形状を有していても良い。
本発明の第2実施形態を説明する。第2実施形態並びに後述の第3及び第4実施形態は第1実施形態を基礎とする実施形態であり、第2実施形態において特に述べない事項に関しては、矛盾の無い限り、第1実施形態の記載が第2~第4実施形態にも適用される。第2実施形態において、第1及び第2実施形態間で矛盾する事項については第2実施形態の記載が優先される(後述の第3及び第4実施形態についても同様)。また、矛盾無き限り、第1~第4実施形態の内、任意の2以上の実施形態を組み合わせて実施することも可能である。
フィルタリング信号に基づいて導出される指標には指標P1が含まれていて良い。指標P1は、例えば、
P1=(加速度最大値データ-重力加速度)/(体重×筋肉率)、即ち、
P1=(ACCMAX-9.8)/(WEIGHT×MSPER) …(1A)
にて表される。ACCMAXは[m/s2]を単位とする加速度最大値データであり、WEIGHTは被験者の体重を表し、MSPERは被験者の筋肉率を表す。被験者の筋肉率は、被験者の体重を占める被験者の筋肉量の割合を指すため、指標P1は、
P1=(加速度最大値データ-重力加速度)/筋肉量、
とも表現できる。即ち、式(1A)を下記式(1B)に書き直すこともできる。
P1=(ACCMAX-9.8)/MSAMT …(1B)
MSAMTは被験者の筋肉量(即ち被験者の体に含まれる筋肉の重さ)を表す。
P1=(ACCMAX-9.8)/WEIGHT×(1-BFPER) …(2A)
P1=(ACCMAX-9.8)/(WEIGHT-BFAMT) …(2B)
BFPERは被験者の体脂肪率を表す。BFAMTは被験者の体脂肪量(即ち被験者の体に含まれる脂肪の重さ)を表す。式(2A)及び式(2B)では、簡単化のため、“骨及び内臓”の重さを無視していることになる。式(2A)又は式(2B)を用いて指標P1を導出する際、被験者の体重WEIGHTと体脂肪率BFPER、又は、被験者の体重WEIGHTと体脂肪量BFAMTは、予めマイコン20に与えられているものとする。
P1=(ACCMAX-9.8)/WEIGHT×(1-BFPER-KA1) …(2C)
P1=(ACCMAX-9.8)/(WEIGHT-BFAMT-KA2) …(2D)
フィルタリング信号に基づいて導出される指標には指標P2が含まれていて良い。指標P2は、例えば、
P2=(加速度最大値データ-重力加速度)/(体重×体脂肪率)、即ち、
P2=(ACCMAX-9.8)/(WEIGHT×BFPER) …(3A)
にて表される。ACCMAXは[m/s2]を単位とする加速度最大値データであり、被験者の体脂肪率BFPERは、被験者の体重WEIGHTを占める被験者の体脂肪量の割合を指すため、指標P2は、
P2=(加速度最大値データ-重力加速度)/体脂肪量、
とも表現できる。即ち、式(3A)を式(3B)に書き直すこともできる。
P2=(ACCMAX-9.8)/BFAMT …(3B)
フィルタリング信号に基づいて導出される指標には指標P3が含まれていて良い。指標P3は、評価期間中におけるフィルタリング信号の波形形状に基づき導出される。例えば、指標P3は、下記(4A)、(4B)又は(4C)によって算出される。
P3=kB1(ACCMAX-9.8)-kB2・Δt …(4A)
P3=kB1(ACCMAX-9.8)/Δt …(4B)
P3=kB1/Δt …(4C)
センサユニットSUを用いて、以下の実験データ収集処理を行うことができる。実験データ収集処理は、例えば、センサユニットSUが製品として消費者(一般消費者や介護又は医療従事者など)に使用される前のセンサユニットSUの設計又は製造段階において実行される。実験データ収集処理は、単位実験の繰り返しから成る。単位実験では、或る年齢の一人の被験者に評価用運動を行わせ、その被験者について上述の方法により指標P1~P3を導出する。このような単位実験を、様々な年齢を持つ多数の被験者に対して実行する。
第i年齢層に属する複数の被験者について導出された複数の指標P2の平均値、分散の正の平方根を、夫々、AVEP2[i]、σP2[i]にて表す。
第i年齢層に属する複数の被験者について導出された複数の指標P3の平均値、分散の正の平方根を、夫々、AVEP3[i]、σP3[i]にて表す。
図17を参照し、クラス分け用データ群の利用方法の説明を含む、センサユニットSUの使用例の具体的な流れを説明する。図17のステップS11~S15の動作は、クラス分け用データ群が取得された後に実行される。
