(1) Embodiment 1
(1-1) Configuration FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a mental control system 1 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 2 shows a conceptual diagram of the mental control system 1 according to the present embodiment.

The mental control system 1 is a system that controls the mental state of the subject 9. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the target person 9 is an athlete. In the present embodiment, a case will be described as an example where the mental control system 1 is used for mental training for training a subject 9 against a mental load (stress or the like). In the example shown in FIG. 2, the target person 9 is a baseball batter. The target person 9 is not limited to a baseball batter, but may be a baseball pitcher, a player of another sport (for example, tennis, soccer, golf, gymnastics, etc.), or a player other than a sports player. It may be.

The mental control system 1 includes a measuring unit 2, a stimulating unit 3, a control device 10, and a notifying unit 4.

The measuring unit 2 is configured to measure the biological information of the subject 9. The biological information is, for example, heart rate, blood pressure, blood vessel diameter, respiration, pupil diameter, blood sugar level, facial expression, brain wave, cerebral blood flow, sweating, and the like. In the present embodiment, the measurement unit 2 measures the heartbeat of the subject 9 as biological information. The measurement unit 2 is configured by a wristband type heart rate monitor (see FIG. 2), and measures the heart rate of the subject 9 by being worn on the wrist of the subject 9. The measurement unit 2 outputs a measurement result to the control device 10 by wireless communication.

Note that the measurement unit 2 may be configured to measure biological information other than the heartbeat. For example, the measurement unit 2 may be configured by a head-mounted electroencephalograph and mounted on the head of the subject 9 to measure the brain waves of the subject 9. The measurement unit 2 may be configured with a camera device and configured to measure a pupil diameter, a facial expression, and the like of the subject 9. Further, the measurement unit 2 may include a plurality of measurement devices and may be configured to measure a plurality of pieces of biological information of the subject 9. Note that the measurement unit 2 is not an essential component of the mental control system 1 and may not be included in a component of the mental control system 1.

The stimulating unit 3 is configured to apply a stimulus to the subject 9. The stimulus is, for example, a stimulus that can be sensed by one or more of the senses of the subject 9 such as the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste), and the sense of temperature (warmth, coolness).

The stimulating unit 3 includes an environmental stimulating unit 31 and an improvement stimulating unit 32.

The environmental stimulating unit 31 is configured to provide the target person 9 with a stimulus imitating the environment of a real sport (for example, a game). The environment stimulating unit 31 includes a display device, a speaker, a temperature adjusting device, a lighting device, a blower, an odor generator, and the like. The display device is, for example, a display, a dome-type projector, a VR device (VR: Virtual Reality), or the like. The display device reproduces the visual environment of the game, for example, by displaying the game scenery, spectators, and the like. The loudspeaker reproduces the hearing environment of the game by, for example, generating cheering of the spectators, noise, noise, and the like. The temperature adjusting device is an air conditioner, a far infrared device, or the like. The temperature adjusting device reproduces the temperature environment of the game by adjusting the temperature around the target person 9. The lighting device reproduces the brightness environment of the game by illuminating the target person 9 by imitating, for example, the sun, a spotlight, or the like. The blowing device reproduces the wind environment of the game by sending wind toward the target person 9. The odor generating device is, for example, an aroma diffuser, and reproduces the odor environment of the game. The environmental stimulating unit 31 does not need to include all of the above devices, and may have a configuration including at least one device. In the example of FIG. 2, a display device (display) and a speaker are illustrated as the environmental stimulating unit 31.

The environmental stimulating unit 31 gives the target person 9 a mental load (stress) by giving the target person 9 stimuli imitating various game environments. For example, by increasing the number of spectators displayed on the display device and increasing the volume of cheering generated from the speaker, the degree of tension (mental load) of the subject 9 is increased. In addition, the environmental stimulating unit 31 can adjust the magnitude of the mental load given to the subject 9 by adjusting the intensity of the stimulus to be given to the subject 9.

The improvement stimulating unit 32 is configured to give a stimulus to the subject 9 to change the mental state of the subject 9. In the present embodiment, the improvement stimulating unit 32 applies a stimulus to the subject 9 so as to improve the mental state of the subject 9. Here, “improving the mental state” means that the mental state of the subject 9 is changed to a mental state in which the subject 9 can easily exert his / her ability.

The improvement stimulating unit 32 includes a display device, a speaker, a lighting device, an odor generating device, a massage device, a heating device, a taste stimulating device, and the like. The display device is, for example, a display, and improves the mental state of the subject 9 by displaying an image. The speaker improves the mental state of the subject 9 by, for example, generating music or the like. The lighting device improves the mental state of the subject 9 by adjusting, for example, the brightness, light color, and the like of the light applied to the subject 9. The odor generating device is, for example, an aroma diffuser, and improves the mental state of the subject 9 by generating an odor (fragrance). The massage device improves the mental state of the subject 9 by massaging a part of the body of the subject 9. The heating device improves the mental state of the subject 9 by warming or cooling a part of the body of the subject 9. The taste stimulating device improves the mental state of the subject 9 by applying a current to the tongue of the subject 9 to stimulate taste. The improvement stimulating unit 32 does not need to include all of the above devices, and may have a configuration including at least one device. Further, some of the devices may be shared by the environmental stimulating unit 31 and the improvement stimulating unit 32. In the example of FIG. 2, an odor generating device is illustrated as the improvement stimulating unit 32.

In the following description, the stimulus provided by the environmental stimulating unit 31 to the subject 9 is also referred to as an environmental stimulus, and the stimulus provided by the improvement stimulating unit 32 to the subject 9 is also referred to as an improvement stimulus.

The stimulating unit 3 (the environmental stimulating unit 31 and the improvement stimulating unit 32) is not an essential component of the mental control system 1, and may not be included in the component of the mental control system 1.

The control device 10 is configured to control the stimulating unit 3 based on the measurement result of the measuring unit 2. The control device 10 includes an evaluation unit 11, an acquisition unit 12, a stimulus control unit 13, an output unit 14, and a storage unit 15. The control device 10 includes, for example, a microcomputer having a processor and a memory. When the processor executes an appropriate program, the computer system functions as the evaluation unit 11, the acquisition unit 12, the stimulus control unit 13, and the output unit 14. That is, the evaluation unit 11, the acquisition unit 12, the stimulus control unit 13, and the output unit 14 are realized by a computer system having a processor and a memory. The program may be recorded in a memory in advance, or may be provided through an electric communication line such as the Internet, or recorded in a non-transitory recording medium such as a memory card.

The evaluation unit 11 acquires the measurement result (biological information of the subject 9) from the measurement unit 2. Then, the mental state of the subject 9 is evaluated based on the biological information of the subject 9. In the present embodiment, the evaluation unit 11 evaluates the mental state of the subject 9 based on the comfort level and the arousal level of the subject 9. The comfort level is an index indicating the level of the comfortable state. The arousal level is an index indicating the level of the arousal state. The mental state can be represented by, for example, a two-dimensional psychological model (for example, a Russell's ring model) using the degree of comfort and the degree of arousal as indices, as shown in FIG. In this two-dimensional psychological model, the X-axis indicates the degree of comfort, and the Y-axis indicates the degree of arousal. As for the degree of comfort on the X-axis, the positive area on the X-axis is "pleasant" and the negative area on the X-axis is "discomfort". The comfort level increases as the level (absolute value) in the positive region of the X-axis increases, and the discomfort level increases (decreases in comfort) as the level (absolute value) in the negative region of the X-axis increases. I do. Regarding the degree of arousal on the Y axis, the positive area on the Y axis is “awakening” and the negative area on the Y axis is “sedation”. The arousal level increases as the level (absolute value) in the positive region of the Y axis increases, and the sedation increases as the level (absolute value) in the negative region of the Y axis increases (the arousal level decreases). I do. The mental states are classified according to the quadrants of the two-dimensional model. The first quadrant Z1 indicates that the mental state is, for example, surprise, excitement, happiness, joy, and joy. The second quadrant Z2 indicates that the mental state is, for example, fear, worry, anger, dissatisfaction, or irritability. The third quadrant Z3 indicates that the mental state is, for example, unpleasantness, sadness, depression, boredom, sagging, or the like. The fourth quadrant Z4 indicates that the mental state is satisfied, easy, calm, relaxed, tired, and the like.

The evaluation unit 11 evaluates the mental state of the subject 9 by obtaining the degree of comfort and the degree of arousal based on the measurement result of the measurement unit 2. In the present embodiment, the evaluation unit 11 calculates the degree of tension as the mental state of the subject 9. The degree of tension is an index indicating the level of the tension state represented by the level of the degree of comfort and the level of arousal. The evaluation unit 11 evaluates the mental state (degree of tension) of the subject 9 at a predetermined cycle, and stores the evaluated mental state and time information in the storage unit 15 in association with each other.

The storage unit 15 is a semiconductor memory such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), or an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). The storage unit 15 is not limited to a semiconductor memory, but may be a hard disk drive or the like. The storage unit 15 may be provided in a device different from the control device 10, or may be provided in a server, a cloud, or the like connected to the control device 10 via a network.

The acquisition unit 12 acquires event information having a causal relationship with the subject 9. The event information is a result resulting from the mental state of the subject 9 or information of a cause that affects the mental state of the subject 9. The event information here includes information on the performance of the subject 9. The performance of the subject 9 is a result resulting from the mental state of the subject 9. In the present embodiment, the target person 9 is a baseball batter (see FIG. 2), and the event information (actual information) is, for example, the number of home runs (result). In addition, the number of home runs is an example of event information (actual information), and may be other actual information (for example, a hit distance of a hit ball). If the target person 9 is a baseball pitcher, the event information (actual information) is, for example, the ball speed of the pitch. If the target person 9 is a gymnast, the event information (actual information) is, for example, a performance score. The event information (actual information) may be the self-scoring of the subject 9 or the like.

The input device 51 is connected to the control device 10. The input device 51 is an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse. The event information is input to the input device 51 in association with the time information. The time information here is the time when the event occurred. In the present embodiment, the time information is the time when the subject 9 hits a home run. The input of the event information to the input device 51 may be performed by the subject 9 or may be performed by a person other than the subject 9. Further, the input device 51 may be configured to automatically input event information.

The acquisition unit 12 acquires the event information input to the input device 51, and stores the acquired event information in the storage unit 15.

The stimulus control unit 13 has an analysis mode and a training mode as operation modes. The analysis mode is an operation mode for analyzing a relationship between event information and a mental state. The training mode is an operation mode in which the stimulating unit 3 applies a stimulus to the subject 9 so that the mental state of the subject 9 changes based on the relationship between the event information and the mental state.

Specifically, in the analysis mode, the stimulus control unit 13 refers to the mental state evaluated by the evaluation unit 11 and the event information (actual information) acquired by the acquisition unit 12 stored in the storage unit 15. . FIG. 4A shows a graph of the relationship between the mental state (degree of tension) and the result (the number of home runs). In FIG. 4A, the vertical axis is the level of the degree of tension of the subject 9, and the horizontal axis is the number of home runs. A range in which the number of home runs is equal to or greater than the threshold value W1 is defined as a first performance range X1, and a range in which the number of home runs is less than the threshold value W1 is defined as a second performance range. Also, the mental state (degree of tension) when the number of home runs is in the first performance range X1 is the first mental range Y1, and the mental state (degree of tension) when the number of home runs is the second performance range X2 is the second mental range. Let it be Y2. In other words, the subject 9 has a mental state when the performance is in the first performance range X1 that is relatively high is within the first mental range Y1, and a mental state when the performance is in the second performance range X2 that is relatively low. It is within the second mental range Y2. In other words, the result of the subject 9 is relatively high if the mental state is within the first mental range Y1, and the result is relatively low if the mental state is within the second mental range Y2. That is, if the mental state (degree of tension) is within the first mental range Y1, the subject 9 is in a state where the ability is easily exerted, and the mental state (degree of tension) is outside the first mental range Y1 (second mental range). If it is within the range Y2), it is in a state where it is difficult to exert its ability. In the example of FIG. 4A, the subject 9 has the first degree of tension even if the tension is lower than the first mental range Y1 or the tension is higher than the first mental range Y1. The result (the number of home runs) is inferior to the case where the number is within the mental range Y1. When the two second mental ranges Y2 are distinguished, the one lower than the first mental range Y1 is also referred to as a second mental range Y21, and the one higher than the first mental range Y1 is also referred to as a second mental range Y22.

In the analysis mode, the stimulus control unit 13 obtains the first mental range Y1 and the second mental range Y2 based on the mental state stored in the storage unit 15 and the event information (actual information). Data indicating the first mental range Y1 and the second mental range Y2 is stored in the storage unit 15.

In the training mode, the stimulus control unit 13 stimulates the subject 9 based on the mental state evaluated by the evaluation unit 11 so that the mental state of the subject 9 changes between the first mental range Y1 and the second mental range Y2. The unit 3 is controlled (see FIG. 4B). That is, in the training mode, the stimulus control unit 13 changes the mental state of the subject 9 between the first mental range Y1 and the second mental range Y2 by performing feedback control of the mental state of the subject 9. Specifically, the stimulus control unit 13 causes the environmental stimulus unit 31 to apply the first stimulus to the subject 9 such that the mental state of the subject 9 changes from the first mental range Y1 to the second mental range Y2. . For example, the stimulating control unit 13 sends the subject 9 from the environmental stimulating unit 31 so that the mental state (the degree of tension) of the subject 9 is higher than the first mental range Y1 (to be the second mental range Y22). The first stimulus is applied. Thereafter, the stimulus control unit 13 sets the mental state (the degree of tension) of the subject 9 in the first mental range Y1 in a state where the environmental stimulating unit 31 applies the first stimulus to the subject 9. The second stimulus is provided to the subject 9 from the improvement stimulating unit 32. The stimulus control unit 13 controls the environmental stimulus unit 31 and the improvement stimulus unit 32 alternately so that the mental state of the subject 9 repeatedly changes between the first mental range Y1 and the second mental range Y2.

That is, in the training mode, the stimulus control unit 13 controls the environment stimulating unit 31 so as to reproduce an environment in which the subject 9 has a mental state in which it is difficult for the subject 9 to exert his / her ability. The improvement stimulating unit 32 is controlled so as to provide a mental state that is easy to exert. The detailed operation of the stimulus control unit 13 will be described in the “Operation Example” section described later.

The notification unit 4 is configured to notify the subject 9 of the mental state. The notification unit 4 is connected to the control device 10. The notifying unit 4 notifies the subject 9 of the mental state evaluated by the evaluation unit 11, thereby causing the subject 9 to grasp the current mental state. The notification unit 4 notifies the mental state of the subject 9 by stimulating the senses such as the five senses (visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and taste) and the thermal sensations (warmth and cold). For example, the notifying unit 4 notifies the subject 9 whether or not the mental state of the subject 9 is within the first mental range Y1. The notification unit 4 includes, for example, a display, a light emitting device, a wristband, an earphone, a speaker, a taste stimulating device, an odor generating device, and the like. The display notifies the subject 9 of the mental state by displaying a numerical value of a mental state (degree of tension), a graph, and the like. The light emitting device notifies the subject 9 of the mental state by turning on, off, blinking, or the light color of the light source. The wristband notifies the subject 9 of the mental state by vibration, thermal stimulation, or the like. The earphone and the speaker notify the subject 9 of the mental state by generating a notification sound. The taste stimulating device notifies the subject 9 of the mental state by stimulating the taste by applying an electric current to the tongue of the subject 9. The odor generating device is, for example, an aroma diffuser, and notifies the subject 9 of a mental state by generating an odor (fragrance).

The notification unit 4 may be configured to notify the subject 9 of the biological information measured by the measurement unit 2. For example, when the measurement unit 2 measures a heartbeat as biological information, the notification unit 4 may blink a light source and generate a sound in accordance with the heartbeat.

The notification unit 4 does not need to include all of the above devices, and may have a configuration including at least one device. Further, at least a part of the notification unit 4 may also be used as the stimulating unit 3 (the environmental stimulating unit 31 and the improvement stimulating unit 32).

The output unit 14 outputs the analysis data to the external device 52. The analysis data is data indicating the relationship between the mental state of the subject 9 and the content of the stimulus applied to the subject 9 by the stimulating unit 3. For example, the analysis data indicates what kind of stimulus the environmental stimulating unit 31 applies to the subject 9 and whether the mental state of the subject 9 is within the first mental range Y1 or the second mental range Y2. Is shown. The analysis data indicates what kind of stimulus the improvement stimulating unit 32 gives to the subject 9 and the mental state of the subject 9 changes from the second mental range Y2 to the first mental range Y1. I have. The external device 52 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like. The external device 52 displays the analysis data output from the output unit 14. The subject 9 checks the analysis data using the external device 52. As a result, the subject 9 understands under what circumstances the mental state becomes the first mental range Y1 and under what stimulus the mental state changes from the second mental range Y2 to the first mental range Y1. can do.

(1-2) Operation Example Next, an operation example of the mental control system 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4A to 5. Hereinafter, a case will be described as an example where the target person 9 is a baseball batter and the event information (actual information) is the number of home runs.

First, the case where the operation mode is the analysis mode will be described with reference to FIG.

In the measurement step S11, the measurement unit 2 measures biological information when the subject 9 is batting. In the measurement step S11, the stimulus control unit 13 controls the environmental stimulus unit 31 so that the subject 9 batting under a plurality of environments. That is, in the measurement step S11, the biological information of the subject 9 under a plurality of environments is measured. The plurality of environments means, for example, a plurality of environments in which the stimuli given to the subject 9 from the environment stimulating unit 31 are different from each other.

In the acquisition step S12, the acquisition unit 12 acquires the event information (the number of home runs) of the subject 9 input to the input device 51. In addition, in the acquisition step S12, the evaluation unit 11 acquires the biological information of the subject 9 measured by the measurement unit 2.

In the evaluation step S13, the evaluation unit 11 evaluates the mental state (degree of tension) of the subject 9 based on the biological information of the subject 9.

In the analysis step S14, the stimulus control unit 13 calculates the first mental range Y1 and the second mental range Y2 based on the mental state (the degree of tension) of the subject 9 and the event information (the number of home runs) (FIG. 4A). reference). In the analysis step S14, for example, the first mental range Y1 and the second mental range Y2 are obtained based on the threshold value W1 between the first performance range X1 and the second performance range X2. The threshold value W1 may be set in advance, or may be set based on the acquired event information. When the threshold value W1 is set based on the acquired event information, for example, a representative value (average value, median value, etc.) of the value (the number of home runs) of the event information may be set as the threshold value W1.

Next, a case where the operation mode is the training mode will be described with reference to FIG. 4B.

In the training mode, the stimulus control unit 13 performs feedback control of the mental state of the subject 9 so that the mental state of the subject 9 changes between the first mental range Y1 and the second mental range Y2. The stimulating unit 3 is controlled.

In FIG. 4B, in the period T1, the stimulating unit 3 (the environmental stimulating unit 31 and the improvement stimulating unit 32) does not give a stimulus to the subject 9. That is, in the period T1, the subject 9 has almost no mental load. Therefore, the degree of tension of the subject 9 is relatively low, and is within the second mental range Y21.

During the period T2, the stimulus control unit 13 causes the environmental stimulus unit 31 to give the subject 9 an environmental stimulus of “small” intensity. The “small” environmental stimulus is a stimulus in which the mental load of the subject 9 is relatively small, for example, a stimulus that reproduces an environment in which the number of spectators is relatively small. Therefore, the degree of tension of the subject 9 increases more than in the period T1, and changes from the second mental range Y21 to the first mental range Y1.

During the period T3, the stimulus control unit 13 causes the environmental stimulus unit 31 to apply a medium stimulus (first stimulus) to the subject 9. The “medium” environmental stimulus is a stimulus that exerts a greater mental load on the subject 9 than the “small” environmental stimulus, and is, for example, a stimulus that reproduces an environment in which the number of spectators is on par. Therefore, the degree of tension of the subject 9 increases from the first mental range Y1 to the second mental range Y22, as compared with the period T2.

In the period T4, the stimulus control unit 13 sends the improvement stimulus to the subject 9 from the improvement stimulus unit 32 in a state where the environmental stimulus unit 31 provides the subject 9 with the environmental stimulus of “medium” intensity. (Second stimulus). Due to the improvement stimulus, the degree of tension of the subject 9 decreases from the period T3 and changes from the second mental range Y22 to the first mental range Y1.

In the period T5, the stimulus control unit 13 transmits the environmental stimulus (“high”) from the environmental stimulating unit 31 to the subject 9 in a state where the improving stimulating unit 32 gives the improving stimulus to the subject 9. (First stimulus). The “large” environmental stimulus is a stimulus in which the mental load of the subject 9 is greater than the “medium” environmental stimulus, and is, for example, a stimulus that reproduces an environment with a relatively large number of spectators. Therefore, the degree of tension of the subject 9 increases more than in the period T4, and changes from the first mental range Y1 to the second mental range Y22. In the example of FIG. 4B, the degree of tension of the subject 9 is further increased as compared with the period T3 in which the environmental stimulus with the intensity “medium” is applied.

In the period T6, the stimulus control unit 13 sends the improvement stimulus to the subject 9 from the improvement stimulating unit 32 in a state where the environmental stimulus unit 31 is providing the subject 9 with the environmental stimulus having the intensity “large”. (Second stimulus). In the example of FIG. 4B, the degree of tension of the subject 9 is reduced by the improvement stimulus as compared with the period T5, but does not reach the first mental range Y1. Therefore, in the period T7, the stimulus control unit 13 changes the content of the improvement stimulus given to the subject 9 from the improvement stimulus unit 32. For example, the stimulus control unit 13 may increase the intensity of the improvement stimulus, or may change the type of the improvement stimulus. Due to the change in the content of the improvement stimulus, the degree of tension of the subject 9 decreases from that in the period T6, and changes from the second mental range Y22 to the first mental range Y1. That is, the stimulus control unit 13 performs feedback control of the improvement stimulus that the improvement stimulus unit 32 provides to the subject 9 such that the degree of tension of the subject 9 changes to the first mental range Y1.

Thereafter, the stimulus control unit 13 controls the environment stimulating unit 31 for reproducing various environments, the control of the improvement stimulating unit 32 for changing the mental state of the subject 9 to the first mental range Y1 under various environments, repeat.

As described above, in the training mode, the stimulus control unit 13 controls the environment stimulating unit 31 so as to reproduce an environment in which the subject 9 has a mental state in which it is difficult for the subject 9 to exhibit his / her ability. The improvement stimulating unit 32 is controlled so as to be in a mental state in which it is easy to demonstrate its ability. Thereby, the subject 9 is likely to be in a mental state in which his / her ability is easily exhibited in various environments.

Good.

(2) Embodiment 2
(2-1) Configuration FIG. 6 shows a block diagram of a mental control system 1A according to the present embodiment. In addition, about the structure similar to the mental control system 1 of Embodiment 1, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.

In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which the present invention is used for mental support for reducing a mental load (stress or the like) on a subject.

The mental control system 1A includes a measurement unit 2, a stimulation unit 3A, a control device 10A, and a notification unit 4.

The stimulating unit 3A includes an improvement stimulating unit 32 and a communication stimulating unit 33.

The communication stimulating unit 33 is configured to provide a communication stimulus to the subject to change (improve) the mental state of the subject. The communication stimulus is a stimulus given to the target person by utterance, message display, or the like. The communication stimulating unit 33 includes a speaker, a display device, and the like. The speaker improves the mental state of the subject by speaking to the subject. The display device is, for example, a display, and improves a mental state of the subject by displaying a message to the subject. The communication stimulating unit 33 does not need to include all of the above devices, and may have a configuration including at least one device. In addition, some devices may be shared by the improvement stimulating unit 32 and the communication stimulating unit 33.

Note that the stimulating unit 3A (the improvement stimulating unit 32 and the communication stimulating unit 33) is not an essential component of the mental control system 1A, and may not be included in the component of the mental control system 1A.

The control device 10A is configured to control the stimulating unit 3A based on the measurement result of the measuring unit 2. The control device 10A includes an evaluation unit 11, an acquisition unit 12A, a stimulus control unit 13A, an output unit 14, and a storage unit 15. The control device 10A includes, for example, a microcomputer having a processor and a memory. When the processor executes an appropriate program, the computer system functions as the evaluation unit 11, the acquisition unit 12A, the stimulus control unit 13A, and the output unit 14. That is, the evaluation unit 11, the acquisition unit 12A, the stimulus control unit 13A, and the output unit 14 are realized by a computer system having a processor and a memory. The program may be recorded in a memory in advance, or may be provided through an electric communication line such as the Internet, or recorded in a non-transitory recording medium such as a memory card.

Evaluation unit 11 evaluates the mental state of the subject by obtaining the degree of comfort and the degree of arousal based on the measurement result of measurement unit 2. In the present embodiment, the evaluation unit 11 calculates the degree of anxiety as the mental state of the subject. The degree of anxiety is an index indicating the level of an anxiety state represented by the level of the degree of comfort and the level of arousal. The evaluation unit 11 evaluates the mental state (degree of anxiety) of the subject at a predetermined cycle, and stores the evaluated mental state and time information in the storage unit 15 in association with each other.

The acquisition unit 12A acquires event information having a causal relationship with the subject. The event information is information on a result attributable to the mental state of the subject or a cause affecting the mental state of the subject. Here, the event information includes information on an event that has occurred in the subject. Here, the event is a cause that affects the mental state of the subject. In the present embodiment, the acquisition unit 12A acquires event information from the schedule management system 53. The schedule management system 53 is a system that manages the schedule of the target person, and stores the scheduled action of the target person. The action schedule is, for example, a meeting in which the target person is scheduled to attend, and a period of the meeting. The acquisition unit 12A acquires, from the schedule management system 53, the action schedule of the target person as event information (event information). The acquisition unit 12A stores the acquired event information in the storage unit 15. Note that the acquisition unit 12A may be configured to estimate an event that has occurred on the target person from a microphone, a camera, or the like carried by the target person.

The stimulating control unit 13A sends the subject from the stimulating unit 3A based on the mental state evaluated by the evaluating unit 11 and the event information (event information) acquired by the acquiring unit 12A so that the mental state of the subject is improved. Stimulus.

In the present embodiment, the measurement unit 2 constantly measures the biological information of the subject, and outputs the measurement result to the control device 10A in association with the time information. The stimulation control unit 13A determines, based on the mental state of the subject evaluated by the evaluation unit 11 and the event information acquired by the acquisition unit 12A, whether or not an event that deteriorates the mental state of the subject has occurred. judge. “Mental state deteriorates” means that the degree of anxiety of the subject increases, for example. The stimulus control unit 13A, for example, when the degree of anxiety of the subject increases more than a predetermined value during a certain scheduled action, the action schedule is an event that deteriorates the mental state of the subject. judge. The stimulus control unit 13A causes the stimulus unit 3A to apply a stimulus to the subject to improve the mental state when an event that causes the mental state of the subject to deteriorate occurs. “Improved mental state” means, for example, that the degree of anxiety of the subject decreases. The detailed operation of the stimulus control unit 13A will be described later in the “Operation Example” section.

The output unit 14 outputs the analysis data to the external device 52. The analysis data is data indicating the relationship between the mental state of the subject and the content of the stimulus given to the subject by the stimulating unit 3A. In the present embodiment, for example, the analysis data indicates the time-series change of the mental state of the subject and the content of the stimulus given to the subject by the stimulating unit 3A. The external device 52 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like. The external device 52 displays the analysis data output from the output unit 14. The subject checks the analysis data using the external device 52. Thereby, the subject can grasp the time-series change of the mental state and what kind of stimulation improves the mental state. In addition, by submitting the analysis data to the medical staff, the subject can receive an appropriate medical treatment.

(2-2) Operation Example Next, an operation example of the mental control system 1A of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 7 is a graph showing the time-series change in the mental state (degree of anxiety) of the subject over four days from the first day to the fourth day. In FIG. 7, the solid line is a time-series change in mental state when the subject uses the mental control system 1A, and the dashed line is a time-series change in mental state when the subject does not use the mental control system 1A. It is a change.

In this operation example, it is assumed that the mental control system 1A is used on the night of each day. For example, the mental control system 1A is used after the subject returns from work and before going to bed.

In the example of FIG. 7, at time t10 in the daytime on the first day, for example, a failure has occurred in a work meeting, and the mental state of the subject has deteriorated (the degree of anxiety has increased).

The stimulation control unit 13A determines, based on the event information acquired by the acquisition unit 12A and the mental state of the subject evaluated by the evaluation unit 11, whether an event in which the mental state of the subject has deteriorated has occurred. judge. Specifically, the stimulus control unit 13A determines that the meeting is an event that worsens the mental state of the target person because the mental state of the target person has deteriorated (the degree of anxiety has increased) during the time period of the conference. I do.

The stimulus control unit 13A causes the stimulus unit 3A to give a stimulus for improving the mental state to the subject. In the present operation example, the improvement stimulating unit 32 includes a lighting device, an odor generating device, and a speaker, and the communication stimulating unit 33 includes a speaker. Therefore, the stimulating unit 3A (the improvement stimulating unit 32 and the communication stimulating unit 33) can apply a plurality of types of stimuli to the subject. The stimulus control unit 13A changes at least one type of stimulus among a plurality of types of stimuli with time. In the present operation example, the stimulus control unit 13A controls the stimulus provided by the stimulating unit 3A to the subject based on the mental state of the subject evaluated by the evaluation unit 11 such that the mental state of the subject becomes a predetermined state. Change content over time. That is, the stimulus control unit 13A performs feedback control on the stimulus given by the stimulating unit 3A to the subject so that the mental state of the subject becomes a predetermined state. In the present operation example, the stimulus control unit 13A performs feedback control on the stimulus given to the subject by the stimulus unit 3A so that the mental state of the subject is in a relaxed state. The relaxed state belongs to the fourth quadrant Z4 of the two-dimensional psychological model shown in FIG. 3, and has a high degree of comfort and a low degree of arousal. The anxiety state belongs to the second quadrant Z2 of the two-dimensional psychological model shown in FIG. 4, and is a state in which the degree of comfort is low and the degree of arousal is high. Therefore, in order to change the mental state of the subject from the anxiety state to the relaxed state, the stimulus control section 13A causes the stimulus section 3A to give the subject a stimulus that increases the degree of comfort and decreases the degree of arousal.

An example of a stimulus provided by the stimulating unit 3A will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 8, the graph of the degree of comfort is indicated by D1, and the graph of the arousal level is indicated by D2. In FIG. 8, the comfort level and the arousal level are indicated by 0 to 100%. 100% is the state with the highest degree of comfort and arousal, and 0% is the state with the lowest degree of comfort and arousal.

First, in the period T11, the stimulus control unit 13A turns on the illumination device of the improvement stimulating unit 32 with the light color “lunch white” and the brightness “100%”. However, in the lighting environment, changes in the degree of comfort and the degree of arousal were small, and the mental state of the subject did not enter a relaxed state. Therefore, the stimulus control unit 13A determines that the illumination environment of the light color “lunch white” and the brightness of “100%” is not effective as a stimulus for putting the subject in a relaxed state.

Therefore, in the period T12, the stimulus control unit 13A changes the lighting environment so that the light color is “bulb color” and the brightness is “20%”. In the lighting environment, the degree of comfort increases, the degree of arousal decreases, and the mental state of the subject changes toward a relaxed state. Therefore, the stimulus control unit 13A determines that the lighting environment with the light color “bulb color” and the brightness “20%” is effective as a stimulus for putting the subject in a relaxed state.

Next, the stimulus control unit 13A further operates the odor generating device of the improvement stimulating unit 32 to further enhance the relaxed state of the subject. In a period T13, the stimulus control unit 13A causes the odor generating device to generate a scent of “jasmine”. However, after the generation of the "jasmine" scent, the degree of comfort decreased, the degree of arousal increased, and the subject's relaxed state decreased. Therefore, the stimulus control unit 13A determines that the scent of “jasmine” is not effective as a stimulus for putting the subject in a relaxed state.

Therefore, in the period T14, the stimulus control unit 13A changes the scent generated from the odor generating device from “jasmine” to “hinoki”. After the generation of the scent of "Hinoki", the degree of comfort increases, the degree of arousal decreases, and the relaxed state increases. Therefore, the stimulus control unit 13A determines that the scent of “hinoki” is effective as a stimulus for putting the subject in a relaxed state.

Next, the stimulus control unit 13A further generates music from the speaker of the improvement stimulus unit 32 in order to further enhance the relaxed state of the subject. In the period T15, the stimulus control unit 13A generates “classical music” from the speaker. After the occurrence of "classical music", the degree of comfort has increased, the degree of arousal has decreased, and the state of relaxation has increased. Therefore, the stimulus control unit 13A determines that “classical music” is effective as a stimulus for putting the subject in a relaxed state.

That is, the stimulus control unit 13A is effective in that the light color “bulb color”, the brightness “20%”, the fragrance of “jasmine”, and the “classical music” are stimuli for putting the subject in a relaxed state. Judge.

{Furthermore, in the period T16, the stimulus control unit 13A generates a message (word) based on the event information (event information) acquired by the acquisition unit 12 from the speaker of the communication stimulus unit 33. In this operation example, the stimulus control unit 13A determines that the first day's meeting is an event that deteriorates the mental state of the subject. Therefore, the stimulus control unit 13A generates, from the communication stimulus unit 33, a message that is worried about an event (failure) at the meeting and a message that encourages the target person. The subject can be relieved by being sent a message about an event (meeting) that worsens the mental state. Thereby, the degree of comfort is increased and the relaxed state is enhanced.

The stimulus from the communication stimulating unit 33 is not limited to the generation of a one-sided message to the subject. For example, the communication stimulating unit 33 may include a microphone that listens to the subject's words. Then, the stimulus control unit 13A causes the communication stimulus unit 33 to generate a message for the word uttered by the subject. That is, a configuration may be adopted in which a dialogue is performed between the subject and the communication stimulating unit 33. As a result, the subject can feel more secure.

The stimulus control unit 13A performs the control of the stimulus unit 3A on the night of the first day, but also controls the stimulus unit 3A on the night after the second day to control the mental state of the subject. Improve and maintain the improved state. The subject has a lower degree of anxiety than the case where no stimulus is provided by the application of the stimulus for improving the mental state from the stimulating unit 3 (see FIG. 7).

において In addition, after the second day, the stimulus control unit 13A causes the stimulus unit 3A to preferentially give a stimulus determined to be effective for bringing the subject into a relaxed state. That is, the stimulus control unit 13A determines that the light color “light bulb color”, the brightness “20%”, the fragrance of “jasmine”, and the stimulus of “classical music” that are determined to be effective on the first day after the second day Is given preferentially. Thus, a stimulus that tends to make the subject more relaxed is quickly applied. However, even a stimulus determined to be effective in the past is not always effective due to a change in the physical condition, mental state, or taste of the subject. Therefore, the stimulus control unit 13A changes the stimulus content when the mental state of the subject does not improve even if the stimulus determined to be effective in the past is applied. Thus, a stimulus that further improves the mental state of the subject can be provided.

The message generated by the communication stimulating unit 33 of the stimulus control unit 13A is not limited to the content based on the event on the day but may be the content based on a past event. For example, even after the second day, the stimulus control unit 13A may cause the communication stimulating unit 33 to output a message related to the first day meeting.

In the present embodiment, the stimulating control unit 13A controls the stimulating unit 3A so that the mental state of the subject is in a relaxed state, but controls the stimulating unit 3A so as to have another mental state. Is also good. The stimulus control unit 13A changes the content of the stimulus provided to the subject by the stimulus unit 3A according to the mental state that is the change target. For example, when the mental state of the subject is changed to the refresh state, the stimulus control unit 13A gives a stimulus such as display of a natural image, reproduction of a bird's cry, generation of a citrus scent, and the like.

Also, in the present embodiment, the stimulus control unit 13A causes the stimulus unit 3A to apply a stimulus to the subject at night, but may be in another time zone.
