Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for testing the mental and physical state of a test subject. More specifically, the present invention relates to a testing method that can determine the mental and physical state of a test subject from the mobility of the test subject's fingers.
  • the O-ring test is a method for assessing the health condition of a subject based on the amount of pressure applied between the thumb and index finger (known as finger pressure), and is used particularly in clinical practice in traditional Chinese medicine.
  • the O-ring test has a long history, and various proposals have been made regarding the O-ring. Note that the "finger pressure" referred to here is different from the pressure applied to acupressure points or the strength of kneading used in massage treatments.
  • Non-Patent Document 1 describes the practicality of the O-ring test and methods for improving its practicality.
  • a method for performing the O-ring test with high accuracy using simple equipment is also proposed.
  • Patent Documents 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 describe testing equipment that allows a test subject to perform the O-ring test alone.
  • Patent Document 7 describes a method for converting the results of the O-ring test into more objective numerical values and utilizing them by combining the O-ring test with a saliva test.
  • O-ring tests and their advanced versions have traditionally required dedicated testing equipment. Although the individual testing devices have become smaller and simpler, they are not convenient to use at home or in the workplace or to carry around.
  • the results of the O-Ring test reflect not only the subject's physical health, but also their stress and self-esteem. Therefore, the O-Ring test can evaluate both the subject's physical and psychological state, and unlike evaluations based on sensor data such as blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, and blood oxygen concentration, it is possible to estimate the subject's life satisfaction and overall physical and mental quality.
  • an individual would be able to perform O-ring testing whenever and wherever they wanted without the need for special testing equipment.
  • the inventor therefore sought a test method that would allow the test subject to perform the O-ring test by himself without using special testing equipment.
  • the present invention is a method for determining the mental and physical state of a test subject from measurements corresponding to the range of motion and pressure of the test subject's thumb.
  • the present invention is also an application for measuring the range of motion and pressure of the test subject's thumb and determining the mental and physical state of the test subject.
  • the term "mental and physical state" is used in a broad sense to include mental and physical states that reflect, for example, preferences for food and hobbies, subconsciousness, desires, motivation, and other tendencies and intensities. That is, the present invention is as follows.
  • a test method comprising the steps of: (1) executing a test command for a mobile terminal and an application; Step 1: The application (2) starts the operation to be tested.

Step 3: The application (2) measures the dimension (41) of the contact trace (4) between the pad (32) of the thumb (31) that appeared in step 2 and the touch panel (11).
  • step 2 an application (2) outputs questions and/or invitation messages (21) to which a response from a test subject (3) is to be sought;

  • step 3 the rotation angle (412) of the thumb (30) is measured from the contact path (4);
  • step 4 the application (2) compares the turning angle (412) with a preset reference turning angle (4140) to generate response data (5) of the subject (3) to the question and/or invitation message (21).
  • step 2 the subject (3) responds to the questions and/or invitation messages (21), and then slides the pad (32) of the thumb (31) of the subject's (3) dominant hand over the surface of the touch panel (11) to drum-roll the scale displayed on the touch panel (11);
  • step 3 the scale movement (413) caused by the drum roll in step 2 is measured as the dimension (41);
  • step 4 the application (2) compares the scale movement (413) with a preset reference scale movement (4150) to generate response data (5) of the subject (3) to the questions and/or invitation messages (21).
  • the present invention is a method for diagnosing the mental and physical condition of a subject with simple operations, anytime, anywhere, and actively, sometimes as entertainment.

  • the entire contact points between the pad (32) of the thumb (31) and the touch panel (11) detected by the mobile terminal (1) in step 2 are called the contact trajectory (4).
  • step 2 the subject (3) slides the thumb (31) of the hand holding the mobile terminal (1) over the touch panel (11), so the range of movement of the thumb (31) is limited.
  • the main types of movement of the pad (32) of the thumb (31) in step 2 are expected to be as follows:
  • a fan-shaped arc is drawn with its center near the base of the thumb (31) or near the wrist.
  • the pad (32) of the thumb (31) either comes to rest on the surface of the touch panel (11) and an end point appears, or it continues its rotational motion and leaves the surface of the touch panel (11).
  • the pad (32) of the thumb (31) moves in a straight line and/or a curved line that is not a sector shape.
  • the pad (32) of the thumb (31) either stops on the surface of the touch panel (11) and an end point appears, or continues to move and leaves the surface of the touch panel (11).
  • the position of the "start” and “goal” displayed on the touch panel (11) changes.
  • the test subject (3) rotates the thumb (31) placed at the start (A) around the base and slides the pad (32) of the thumb (31) to the goal (B).
  • a contact trajectory (4) resembling part of a circular arc is obtained.
  • the subject (3) moves his/her thumb (31) in a flicking motion upwards starting from the base.
  • the contact trajectory (4) generally becomes a straight line extending up and down near the start (A).
  • this straight line either ends away from the start (A), or changes shape to a curve near the goal (B) before reaching the end point.
  • the application (2) can display a scale (1103) connecting the start (A) and goal (B) as shown in FIG. 7 in order to guide the movements of the subject (3).
  • the touch panel (11) can display various things in addition to scales to encourage the subject (3) to perform the sliding movement of the thumb (31). For example, it is possible to color-code the display area according to the distance from the starting point, or to display multiple target points with scales of 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. according to the extent of the distance traveled.
  • step 2 when the test subject (3) slides his/her thumb (31) while feeling highly positive emotion toward the question and/or invitation message (21), the degree of contact between the thumb (32) and the touch panel (11) increases. Therefore, whether the contact trajectory (4) is curved or linear, the entire contact trajectory (4) becomes longer, or the shortest distance between both ends of the contact trajectory (4) becomes longer.
  • the application (2) can display a message on the touch panel (11) prompting the subject to make a selection using a text set of "Did you finish sliding?", "Yes - Next", and "No - Redo". In this case, if "Yes - Next” is selected (if the subject (3) inputs the selected data into the mobile terminal (1) by touching the screen), the application (2) ends step 2.
  • step 2 the application (2) can output a message to the test subject (3) according to the movement state of the thumb (31) during the period from the start to the end of the rotation of the thumb (31). For example, to help the blind test subject (3) with the operation, it is possible to output different sounds or generate vibrations depending on the movement state of the thumb (31).
  • step 2 when the pad (32) of the thumb (31) of the subject's (3) dominant hand is slid across the surface of the touch panel (11), a so-called drum roll method can also be used.
  • the "drum roll,” also known as the picker method, is a method often used when selecting one item from a number of options displayed on a smartphone. For example, it is used to select and input dates, times, ages, place names, etc. Just as one rolls a roll with printed text on its surface to reveal the desired text, the user scrolls the initial display in two directions (up and down, for example) to change to the desired input item. On smartphones, drum roll applications often generate sound effects as the display changes, helping the user imagine the roll rolling. The distance between the initial display and the desired display (the amount of rotation of the roll) corresponds to the speed of the scroll.
  • the application (2) prompts the test subject (3) to advance (rotate) the scale initially displayed on the touch panel (11) in response to the question and/or invitation message (21).
  • the displayed scale is displayed to advance in one direction (e.g., upward on the touch panel (11).
  • the test subject (3) slides the pad (32) of the thumb (31) of his/her dominant hand over the surface of the touch panel (11) to drum roll the scale displayed on the touch panel (11).
  • drum roll techniques can be used in step 2, from basic to ordinary applications.
  • the drum roll method is used in step 2 of the present invention, the more vigorously the pad (32) of the thumb (31) is slid, the greater the change in the scale.
  • step 3 the application (2) measures the dimension (41) of the contact trace (4) between the pad (32) of the thumb (31) that appeared in step 2 and the touch panel (11).
  • the contact trace (4) is based on position information detected by a method effective for the touch panel.
  • the detection method used here may be any of the projected capacitive method, which is widely used in smartphones and tablets, as well as the surface capacitive method, the low-hardness film method, the infrared method, and the like.
  • the dimension (41) does not directly depend on the speed at which the pad (32) of the thumb (31) moves across the surface of the touch panel (11), but depends on the distribution of positions detected as "contact (touched)" by each method. Therefore, even if there is a period when the pad (32) of the thumb (31) stops moving while moving across the surface of the touch panel (11), the contact trace (4) is detected.
  • the detected contact trajectory (4) is displayed on the touch panel (11) as a line that changes from moment to moment in step 2, it can be displayed as a trajectory in the X and Y directions by utilizing the swipe detection method of a smartphone.
  • the application (2) can display a message on the touch panel (11) urging the subject (3) to slide his/her finger again. In this case, the test returns to step 1 or step 2 and continues.
  • the process ends.
  • the measurement result of the dimension (41) can also be registered in a database controlled by the application (2).
  • the measured dimension (41) is not limited as long as it is a characteristic value that reflects the pressure and/or range of motion of the thumb (31).
  • the measured dimension (41) is actually a calculated value calculated using a calculation method that introduces an appropriate statistical method to the two-dimensional coordinates of points belonging to the contact trajectory (4).
  • the length (411) of the contact trajectory (4) can be measured as the dimension (41).
  • the length (411) may be the total length of the line that is the contact locus (4).
  • the application (2) calculates the total length (as an approximation) based on the two-dimensional coordinates of the points that make up the contact locus (4) and an appropriate statistical calculation method.
  • the contact locus (4) can be approximated to a portion of a circular arc based on the coordinates of the start and end points of the thumb (31) with the base at the center, and the length of the portion of the circular arc can be calculated as the total length of the contact locus (4).
  • the length (411) may also be the shortest distance between both ends of the contact locus (4), i.e., the start point and the end point (the length of a straight line connecting the start point and the end point).
  • the application (2) calculates the shortest distance based on the two-dimensional coordinates of the start and end points of the contact locus (4).
  • Figure 4 shows La (total length) and Ls (distance between the start and end points) as the length (411).
  • the rotation angle (412) of the thumb (30) can be measured from the contact trajectory (4) as a feature representing the dimension (41).
  • the thumb (31) slides on the touch panel (11) while rotating around the base of the thumb (31), so the contact trajectory (4) usually approximates the circumference of a sector. Therefore, the angle of the approximate sector can be calculated as the rotation angle (412) from the coordinates of the contact points belonging to the contact trajectory (4).
  • Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of how the rotation angle (412) is calculated as an angle ⁇ for the contact trajectory (4).
  • step 3 the scale movement (413) before and after the drum roll in step 2 is measured as the dimension (41).
  • the entire movement trajectory of the thumb (31) is not sensed and detected as the contact trajectory (4), but the scale movement (413) reflecting the sliding speed and pressure of the thumb (31) at the drum roll point is regarded as the contact trajectory (4). This is based on the hypothesis that if the sliding speed and pressure of the thumb (31) at the drum roll point are large, the contact trajectory (4) generated as a result of continuing the sliding motion will also be long.
  • the strength of the sliding movement of the thumb will increase, or the pad (32) of the thumb (31) will vigorously drum-roll the scale, and the length (411), rotation angle (412), and scale movement (413) measured as the dimension (41) will all be large values.
  • step 4 the application (2) compares the dimensions (41) with preset reference values (40) to generate answer data (5) of the subject (3) to the questions and/or invitation messages (21).
  • the answer data (5) is generated according to the following rules:
  • test subject (3) is determined to have affirmed the question and/or invitation message (21) (answered "yes").
  • the application (2) can display the answer content on the touch panel (11) based on the generated answer data (5). For example, when positive answer data (5) is generated, the text "Your answer is 'YES'" can be displayed on the display screen (1101) of the smartphone (101). Also, when negative answer data (5) is generated, the text "Your answer is 'NO'" can be displayed on the display screen (1101) of the smartphone (101).
