The invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like numbers reference like elements.
Hereinafter, embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
An electronic device according to the embodiment is not limited to the wearable apparatus 100 or the portable terminal apparatus 200, and a multifunction portable terminal such as a tablet or various devices such as a personal computer may be used.
The wearable apparatus 100 is not limited to the band type such as a wristwatch, and may be assumed to be various types of a pendant type, a belt type, and a smart glass type.
First, the functional units of the wearable apparatus 100 will be described.
The wearable apparatus 100 includes a pulse information detecting unit 110, a body motion information detecting unit 120, and a communication unit 130.
The pulse information detecting unit 110 obtains pulse information including a pulse rate per unit time, based on an output of a pulse wave sensor (not illustrated) that detects a pulse wave being one sort of biological information. Moreover, the pulse information detecting unit 110 is equivalent to a biological information obtaining unit. For example, the pulse wave sensor includes a light-emitting element such as a light emitting diode (LED), and a light-receiving element such as a photodiode, The light irradiated by the light-emitting element is reflected by blood vessels of a body portion, and the reflected light is collected, and is received by the light-receiving element. At that time, the pulse wave sensor detects the pulse wave from change information of a light-receiving amount by using a phenomenon in which the reflectances of the light are different from each other at the time of dilation and constriction of the blood vessels.
For example, a method disclosed in JP-A-2012-232010 may be adopted in the method for calculating e pulse rate based on the reflected light from the blood vessels of the body portion.
In the embodiment, the pulse rate is detected as biological information, but it is not limited thereto. Electrocardiac information may be detected, and a heart rate may be detected based on the detected electrocardiac information. Moreover, the pulse wave information, and the electrocardiac information may be also detected. In the following description, the pulse rate may be replaced with the heart rate.
The body motion information detecting unit 120 obtains body motion information such as the number of steps based on an output of a sensor (not illustrated) that detects a body motion. The sensor is assumed to be an acceleration sensor, and a gyro sensor.
The acceleration sensor is an acceleration sensor that is attached into one axial direction or two or more axial directions (for example, three axial directions of X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis), and measures an acceleration change of each axis per unit time.
For example, a method disclosed in JP-A-2004-81745 may be adopted in the method for calculating the number of steps from the measured acceleration change.
The gyro sensor measures an angular velocity per unit time by using each X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis as a central axis in the acceleration sensor. The body motion information detecting unit 120 calculates an exercise intensity, and an exercise amount depending on a change amount as body motion information, by using the detected acceleration change data and the detected angular velocity data with the acceleration sensor and the gyro sensor, and integrating the change amounts thereof.
The body motion information detecting unit 120 may further include a global positioning system (GPS) sensor that detects position information.
The GPS sensor includes a GPS receiving function, and a position information calculating circuit, and measures the position information (latitude, longitude, and altitude) data per unit time. The body motion information detecting unit 120 may calculate a moving distance, and a moving velocity from the position information per unit time, and may calculate the exercise amount as body motion information by combining the values with the information of other sensors.
Moreover, the body motion information detecting unit 120 may include a sensor that detects a body temperature or blood pressure.
The communication unit 130 performs the wireless communication with a communication unit 205 of the portable terminal apparatus 200, and sends the pulse information detected by the pulse information detecting unit 110, and the body motion information detected by the body motion information detecting unit 120 to the portable terminal apparatus 200.
A wireless communication method is assumed to be Bluetooth (registered trademark), but is not limited to thereto. For example, various short-range wireless communication methods such as ZigBee (registered trademark), Wi-SUN (registered trademark), and IP500 (registered trademark) may be adopted.
Next, the functional units of the portable terminal apparatus 200 will be described.
The portable terminal apparatus 200 includes the communication unit 205, an operation accepting unit 210, a storage unit 215, a control unit 250, and a display unit 220.
The communication unit 205 is equivalent to a receiving unit, and receives the pulse information and the body motion information which are sent from the communication unit 130 of the wearable apparatus 100, and sends the received pulse information, and the received body motion information to the control unit 250.
The operation accepting unit 210 accepts an operation by a user, and sends a signal depending on the accepted operation to the control unit 250.
The display unit 220 displays an image which is generated by the control unit 250. In the embodiment, the portable terminal apparatus 200 includes a touch panel (not illustrated), and the touch panel is equivalent to the operation accepting unit 210 and the display unit 220.
The storage unit 215 is assumed to be a flash memory or the like as hardware, and stores the data or a program which is processed by the control unit 250.
The control unit 250 includes a pulse rate information obtaining section 255, an exercise information obtaining section 260, an additional information obtaining section 265, a calculation section 270, and a display control section 275.
Moreover, the control unit 250 performs processing or control of various sorts of information, and is assumed to be a processor as hardware. The respective functional units included in the control unit 250 are realized by cooperation of the storage unit 215 that stores the information of the program or the like, and the processor that operates based on the information of the program or the like stored in the storage unit 215.
The pulse rate information obtaining section 255 obtains pulse rate information from the pulse information which is sent from the wearable apparatus 100, and sends the obtained pulse rate information to the calculation section 270.
The exercise information obtaining section 260 obtains exercise information from the body motion information which is sent from the wearable apparatus 100, and sends the obtained exercise information to the calculation section 270.
The calculation section 270 calculates (determines) a minimum value (referred to as minimum pulse rate) of the pulse rate which becomes a standard for determining a health state or the like, namely, the pulse rate at the time of sleeping, based on the pulse rate information sent from the pulse rate information obtaining section 255, and the exercise information sent from the exercise information obtaining section 260. For example, a method disclosed in JP-A-2015-131049 may be adopted in the method for calculating the minimum pulse rate.
In the embodiment, the minimum pulse rate is a calculation target as analysis information, but it is not limited thereto. A resting pulse rate, a maximum pulse rate, a stress degree, a fatigue degree or the like may be the calculation target.
Furthermore, the calculation section 270 manages the pulse rate information sent from e pulse rate information obtaining section 255 in a time series, and calculates a basal pulse rate indicating the minimum value of the pulse rate over a predetermined long period such as several months. Moreover, it is known that the basal pulse rate appears when a body condition is fine or in a case where the user can soundly sleep.
The information of the minimum pulse rate or the basal pulse rate which is calculated by the calculation section 270 is stored in the storage unit 215 by being linked to the information of the calculated date and time.
The additional information obtaining section 265 obtains additional information relating to the minimum pulse rate, based on the operation which is accepted by the operation accepting unit 210. In the embodiment, the additional information is assumed to be an icon which is linked to the minimum pulse rate, or a comment relating to the minimum pulse rate. The additional information obtaining section 265 obtains the additional information which is generated by the operation of the touch panel with the user, and sends the obtained additional information to the display control section 275.
The display control section 275 controls a display of the image in the display unit 220. For example,
The display control section 275 assigns the value of the minimum pulse rate to one axis (vertical axis) of a graph, and time information such as date and time at which the minimum pulse rate is detected to the other axis (horizontal axis) of the graph, and generates the transition image 245 indicating transition of the minimum pulse rate by lapse of time. In the embodiment, the display control section 275 reads a plurality of the minimum pulse rate values which are stored in the storage unit 215, and the date and time information responding thereto, and superimposes the values on the transition image 245, and plots the value of the minimum pulse rate as a circle-shaped plot (P1 to P4) in the time series depending on the date and time information, and complements between the plots (P1 to P4) by a straight line. Furthermore, the display control section 275 reads the basal pulse rate stored in the storage unit 215, and causes a base line EL to be displayed by being superimposed on the transition image 245.
Moreover, the display control section 275 rewrites the transition image 245 depending on the operation, in a case where the user performs the operation of the operation accepting unit 210 by a finger or the like, with respect to the transition image 245 which the display unit 220 displays.
If the processing is started, the control unit 250 causes an icon list to be displayed near the plot of the tapped minimum pulse rate (step S300). As a result, an icon list IL is displayed near a plot P1 of the minimum pulse rate of the transition image 245 by being superimposed, as illustrate in
The icon list IL includes at least one or more of the icons (S1 to S5) indicating subjective information indicating a subjective state of the user or event information relating to the user, as input information which is selectable information by the user. In the embodiment, an icon S1 is an icon indicating “to do a drink”. An icon S2 is an icon indicating “bad body condition”. An icon S3 is an icon indicating “to do exercise”. An icon S4 is an icon indicating “stress”. Moreover, an icon S5 is an icon to which meaning is not given, and it may be set to give the meaning and an icon design by the operation of the operation accepting unit 210 with the user. Furthermore, icons indicating a mental state, sleep time, and sleep depth may be included.
Next, a desired icon is selected from the icon list IL by the operation of the use (step S302). If the desired icon is selected from the icon list IL, the icon list IL is non-displayed. In the embodiment, a case where the icon S3 is selected as a desired icon is assumed.
Next, the control unit 250 causes the selected icon S3 to be displayed by being superimposed, at a position of the plot P1 of the tapped minimum pulse rate (step S304). As a result, the selected icon S3 is displayed at the position of the plot P1 of the minimum pulse rate in the transition image 245, as illustrated in
Next, the control unit 250 stores the selected icon S3, and the position of the plot P1 of the tapped minimum pulse rate in the storage unit 215 by linking the icon S3 to the position of the plot P1 (step S306). A series of processing is ended. Thereby, the icon which is linked to the plot of the transition image 245 is stored, and in a case where the transition image 245 is displayed again in the display unit 220, the icon which is linked to the position of each plot also displayed.
By tapping each plot (P2 to P4) of the minimum pulse rate, and respectively selecting the icons, the transition image 245 as illustrated in
As illustrated in
In the transition image 245, a date or a period (week or month) at which the transition of the minimum pulse rate is displayed may be modified by the operation of the operation accepting unit 210 with the user.
According to the embodiment described above, the following effects are achieved.
The control unit 250 of the portable terminal apparatus 200 generates the transition image 245 indicating the transition of the minimum pulse rate of the user, and causes the generated transition image 245 to be displayed in the display unit 220. If the user taps the plot P1 responding to the minimum pulse rate in the transition image 245, the control unit 250 causes the icon list IL including at least one of the subjective information relating to user and the event information relating the user to be displayed near the plot P1 of the minimum pulse rate in the transition image 245. In response to this, in a case where the user selects the desired icon S1 from the icon list IL, the selected icon S1 is displayed by being superimposed at the position of the tapped plot P1. Accordingly, the user can estimate a factor for the tapped minimum pulse rate based on the displayed icon S1. As a result, the user can estimate the factor which influences the body condition or the like of the self, and can take a countermeasure in order to improve the body condition.
Hitherto, the suitable embodiments are described with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the suitable embodiments are not limited to the embodiments described above. The embodiments can be variously modified within the scope without departing from the gist, needless say, and can be carried out as follows.
For example, a state where a server apparatus (of which the illustration is omitted) is included in the biological information display system 50, and the server apparatus connected to the wearable apparatus 100 or the port able terminal apparatus 200 through the communication may be also assumed.
In general, the server apparatus has high processing performance in comparison with the wearable apparatus 100 or the portable terminal apparatus 200, Therefore, the server apparatus has some of the functions which the control unit 250 of the portable terminal apparatus 200 has, for example, the function of the calculation section 270, and thereby, it is possible to perform various sorts of processing at a high velocity, in comparison with a case where the portable terminal. apparatus 200 has the functions. Since the server apparatus has large storage capacity, it is possible to store the pulse rate or the exercise information by unit of several years several decades. Thereby, the calculation or the analysis is possible based on the data of the long period, and it is possible to expect improvement in reliability of the basal pulse rate, or improvement in analysis accuracy relating to the transition of the minimum pulse rate.
Moreover, a state where the wearable apparatus 100 has the function of the portable terminal apparatus 200, and the biological information display system 50 is realized by only the wearable apparatus 100 may be assumed. That is, the wearable apparatus 100 includes the operation accepting unit 210, the storage unit 215, the control unit 250, and the display unit 220, in addition to the configuration described above. Thereby, it is possible to make miniaturization and weight reduction of the biological information display system 50.
The selectable icon which is displayed in the icon list IL is not limited thereto. For example, the user presses down the icon S5, and thereby, the subjective body condition may be defined in the icon S5.
The base line EL of the basal pulse s displayed by being superimposed in the transition image 245, but is not limited thereto. The control unit 250 may generate the base line of the minimum pulse rate based on the body condition or the sleep state in a case where the body condition or the sleep state of the user is fine, and may cause the generated base line to be displayed by being superimposed in the transition image 245. In this case, the base line may be set by the user, or may be generated by the control unit 250 based on a body condition situation or a sleep situation.
The control unit 250 may calculate a divergence degree between the base line of the generated minimum pulse rate and the current minimum pulse rate, and may determine the fatigue degree of the user based on the calculated result. Furthermore, the control unit 250 may include a notification unit (of which the illustration is omitted) that makes a message or advice on the user based on the input content which is input to the text input screen TX1 or the divergence degree, and notifies the user of the message or the advice.
The control unit 250 may add an added value by combining the minimum pulse rate with other data. For example, it is possible to realize a correlation between the resting situations of the body in a case of sleeping at home and a case of sleeping in a hotel, by combining the transition of the minimum pulse rate of the user with the position information of the user. As other data, stress (HRV), the number of steps, exercise time, standing time, and sitting time may be assumed.
The information which is displayed by pressing down the plot P1 is not limited to the text input screen TX1. For example, if the plot P1 is pressed down, a program responding to the displayed icon may be booted, and the program may obtain the information linked to the icon, and may be displayed in the display unit 220. For example, the program may access an external server or the like, and may display various sorts of the obtained information.
For example, in a case of the icon S1 indicating “to do a drink”, dietary composition which the user ingests, a dietary intake, a meal time or the like may be obtained.
In a case of the icon S2 indicating “bad body condition”, the body motion information detecting unit 120 may obtain the body temperature information or the blood pressure information of the user. For example, an air temperature, weather, pollen dispersal information, influenza epidemic information or the like may be obtained from an external server apparatus.
In a case of the icon S3 indicating “to do exercise”, the body motion information detecting unit 120 may obtain load information such as pulse zone staying time, exercise classification, and exercise time.
Moreover, in a case of the icons S4 indicating “stress”, time, intensity, place, schedule or event in a case where stress is increased, and time, intensity, place, schedule, or event in a case of being relaxed, and the number of plots of an event marker on a map may be obtained.
The program may display a separate window in the display unit 220, and the obtained information may be selected by the user.
The respective functional units of the control unit 250 illustrated in
In the embodiments described above, some of the functions which are realized by the software may be realized by the hardware, or some of the functions which are realized by the hardware may be realized by the software. In addition, the specific detailed configuration of each of other units of the control unit 250 may be optionally modified within the scope without departing from the gist of the invention.
The transition indicating a time series change of the minimum pulse rate, and the transition of each data (for example, the data indicating the subjective body condition or the data of the biological information) have the correlation with a life pattern of the user. Accordingly, in a case where a pattern (second change pattern) including the transition of the most recent minimum pulse rate and the transition of each data, is matched with a pattern (first change pattern) indicating the past data stored in the server apparatus or the storage unit 215, the control unit 250 may notify the user of a state where the matched past data is found as a push notification.
Furthermore, the server apparatus may evaluate the matched similarity degree, and may predict the future transition, and may strongly prompt the user to modify a behavior by displaying the advice or the message in the wearable apparatus 100. Thereby, the user can prevent a deterioration of the body condition in advance.
