The present invention relates to a sensor data correction system.
For example, in Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-99398, a system, a method, and a program in which sensing data that is output from a motion sensor is recalculated on the basis of a coordinate point difference are disclosed as a system correcting an individual difference of sensing data. In the system, the method, and the program, data different from a target sensor is acquired, and the value of target sensor data is corrected on the basis of the value of the data.
In Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-99398, in order to obtain a more accurate result in consideration of an individual difference between people or sensors, error correction of the sensing data is performed by using a coordinate difference that is output from the motion sensor.
However, in wearable sensing, an aging property variation is large in accordance with material properties, an individual difference is large even in the same product, and an individual difference of a wearer is also large unlike a sensor of a device. For this reason, unless a personal difference of the wearer is known, it is not possible to interpret the data, and it is not possible to necessarily accurately correct the sensor data.

In addition, a sensor data correction system according to one aspect of the present invention is configured as a sensor data correction system, including: a standard motion mechanism unit for performing a standard motion of a wearable sensor; a determination unit calculating a relationship between standard sensor data that is sensed by the wearable sensor provided with the standard motion mechanism unit and sensor data that is sensed by the wearable sensor worn by an operator; and a correction unit correcting the sensor data or the standard sensor data, on the basis of the relationship that is calculated by the determination unit.
In addition, a sensor data correction system according to one aspect of the present invention is configured as a sensor data correction system, including: a load cell sensing a received pressure; a determination unit calculating a relationship between first sensor data that is sensed by a wearable sensor worn by an operator and second sensor data in which the load cell senses a pressure from the wearable sensor; and a correction unit correcting the first sensor data or the second sensor data, on the basis of the relationship that is calculated by the determination unit.

The standard motion mechanism 101 is an instrument or a device on which the wearable sensor can be mounted. The standard motion mechanism 101 is capable of consistently performing a standard motion with constant force adjustment, a constant direction, and a constant speed. The standard motion mechanism 101 performs the standard motion in a state where the wearable sensor 102 is mounted. In a case where the standard motion is performed, the wearable sensor 102 transmits sensor data that is sensed by the standard motion to the recording unit 105 to be stored.
The standard motion mechanism 103 is the same instrument or device as the standard motion mechanism 101. The motion of the mechanism is the same as that of the standard motion mechanism 101, and thus, here, the description thereof will be omitted. Note that, in
The recording unit 105 records each of the sensor data items received from the wearable sensor 102 and the wearable sensor 104 in the storage unit 109, and outputs the recorded sensor data items to the comparison unit 106. The comparison unit 106 compares the sensor data items received from the recording unit 105, and outputs data indicating a difference between the sensor data items to the correction unit 107. The motion of the wearable sensor 102 and the wearable sensor 104 is consistently constant, and thus, it is possible to extract individual difference properties of the wearable sensor 102 and the wearable sensor 104 by calculating the difference between the sensor data items sensed by the wearable sensor 102 and the wearable sensor 104. The individual difference properties may be information indicating a difference in individual properties that are the properties of each of the wearable sensors, obtained from the sensor data items sensed by each of the wearable sensors.
The correction unit 107 corrects motion data of the wearable sensor 102 and the wearable sensor 104 that is recorded in the storage unit 109 by the recording unit 105, on the basis of the individual difference properties of the wearable sensor 102 and the wearable sensor 104 that are extracted by the comparison unit 106. The correction unit 107 records the corrected data in the correction sensor data storage unit 108. In
The wearable sensor 102 is mounted on the standard motion mechanism 101, and then, the standard motion mechanism 101 performs the standard motion with respect to an instrument 201. The wearable sensor 102 transmits the sensor data at this time to the recording unit 105, as standard glove standard operation data 211, and the recording unit 105 records the standard glove standard operation data 211 in the storage unit 109.
The standard glove standard operation data 211, for example, includes data that can be sensed by the wearable sensor 102, such as pressure sensor data. Examples of the pressure sensor data include pressure data 202 that is sensed by the first finger, pressure data 203 that is sensed by the second finger, and the like. Obviously, examples of the pressure sensor data may include pressure data that is sensed by the third finger, the fourth finger, or the fifth finger. A time change of the pressure data 202 and the pressure data 203 can be notated as a graph. Such a graph is generated by the recording unit 105, and graph data thereof is recorded in the storage unit 109.
In this system, a motion sound is utilized in order to specify a time zone in which a target motion is performed. The wearable sensor 102 is mounted on the standard motion mechanism 101, and the standard motion is performed with respect to the instrument 201. A motion sound generated at this time is sensed by the wearable sensor 102, and the recording unit 105 extracts a time zone before and after the motion sound is sensed, as a target operation zone. The recording unit 105 defines the start and the end of the target operation zone as a start time t1 at which the increase of the pressure graph is started and an end time t2 at which the decrease of the pressure graph is ended. In a time range of the start time t1 to the end time t2, the recording unit 105 obtains the value of a difference a between a maximum value and a minimum value of the pressure data 203 that is sensed by the second finger and the value of a difference b between a maximum value and a minimum value of the pressure data 202 that is sensed by the first finger.
Similarly, the wearable sensor 104 is mounted on the standard motion mechanism 101, and then, the standard motion mechanism 101 performs the standard motion with respect to the instrument 201. The wearable sensor 104 transmits the sensor data at this time to the recording unit 105, as operation data 221, and the recording unit 105 records the operation data 221 in the storage unit 109.
The operation data 221, for example, includes data that can be sensed by the wearable sensor 102, such as the pressure sensor data. Examples of the pressure sensor data include pressure data 204 that is sensed by the first finger, pressure data 205 that is sensed by the second finger, and the like. Obviously, examples of the pressure sensor data may include pressure data that is sensed by the third finger, the fourth finger, or the fifth finger. A time change of the pressure data 204 and the pressure data 205 can be notated as a graph. Such a graph is generated by the recording unit 105, and graph data thereof is recorded in the storage unit 109.
As with the case of the standard glove standard operation data 211, the recording unit 105 defines the start and the end of the target operation zone as a start time t1′ at which the increase of the pressure graph is started and an end time t2′ at which the decrease of the pressure graph is ended. In a time range of the start time t1′ to the end time t2′, the recording unit 105 obtains the value of a difference a between a maximum value and a minimum value of the pressure data 205 that is sensed by the second finger and the value of a difference b′ between a maximum value and a minimum value of the pressure data 204 that is sensed by the first finger.
Accordingly, the comparison unit 106 is capable of obtaining a ratio of the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the standard glove standard operation data 211 to the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the operation data 221, such as a/a′ or b/b′. The correction unit 107, for example, multiplies the pressure data 205 of the second finger that is acquired as the operation data 221 by a/a′, by using the ratio that is calculated by the comparison unit 106. In addition, the correction unit 107 multiplies the pressure data 204 of the first finger by b/b′. Accordingly, the value of the operation data 221 can be corrected as a value close to standard operation data.
As described above, the comparison unit 106 that is a determination unit calculates the properties of a first wearable sensor by using first sensor data that is sensor data in a operation zone of the first wearable sensor on which the standard motion mechanism 101 is mounted, and calculates the properties of a second wearable sensor by using second sensor data in an operation zone of the second wearable sensor in a zone corresponding to the operation zone, and the correction unit 107 performs the correction, on the basis of a relationship calculated by the determination unit from the properties of the wearable sensor 102 that is the first wearable sensor and the properties of the wearable sensor 104 that is the second wearable sensor. Note that, here, a correction method is an example, and it is obviously possible to perform the correction by using a general statistical value.
As described above, the individual properties of the wearable sensor can be corrected on the basis of the standard wearable sensor. That is, the comparison unit 106 that is the determination unit calculates a relationship between the first sensor data sensed by the wearable sensor 102 that is the first wearable sensor provided with the standard motion mechanism 101 for performing the standard motion of the wearable sensor, and the second sensor data sensed by the wearable sensor 104 that is the second wearable sensor provided with the standard motion mechanism 101, and the correction unit 107 corrects the first sensor data, on the basis of the relationship that is calculated by the determination unit, and thus, it is possible to accurately correct the individual properties of the wearable sensor. Note that, in this example, the first sensor data is corrected by using the relationship, the second sensor data may be corrected but by using the relationship.
The wearable sensor 102 is mounted on the standard motion mechanism 101, and then, the standard motion mechanism 101 performs the standard motion with respect to an instrument 301. The wearable sensor 102 transmits sensor data at this time to the recording unit 105 as standard operation data, and the recording unit 105 records standard glove standard operation data 311 in the storage unit 109.
The standard glove standard operation data 311, for example, includes data that can be sensed by the wearable sensor 102, such as the pressure sensor data. Examples of the pressure sensor data include pressure data 302 that is sensed by the first finger, pressure data 303 that is sensed by the second finger, and the like. Obviously, examples of the pressure sensor data may include pressure data that is sensed by the third finger, the fourth finger, or the fifth finger. A time change of the pressure data 320 and the pressure data 303 can be notated as a graph. Such a graph is generated by the recording unit 105, and graph data thereof is recorded in the storage unit 109.
In this system, the motion sound is utilized in order to specify the time zone in which the target motion is performed. The wearable sensor 102 is mounted on the standard motion mechanism 101, and the standard motion is performed with respect to the instrument 301. A motion sound generated at this time is sensed by the wearable sensor 102, and the recording unit 105 extracts the time zone before and after the motion sound is sensed, as the target operation zone. The recording unit 105 defines the start and the end of the target operation zone as the start time t1 at which the increase of the pressure graph is started and the end time t2 at which the decrease of the pressure graph is ended. In the time range of the start time t1 to the end time t2, the recording unit 105 obtains the value of a difference a between a maximum value and a minimum value of the pressure data 303 that is sensed by the second finger and the value of a difference b between a maximum value and a minimum value of the pressure data 302 that is sensed by the first finger.
Similarly, the wearable sensor 102 is worn by the operator 341 as with the sensor that is mounted on the standard motion mechanism 101, and then, the operator 341 performs the standard motion with respect to the instrument 301. The wearable sensor 102 transmits the sensor data at this time to the recording unit 105, as operation data 331, and the recording unit 105 records the operation data 331 in the storage unit 109.
The operation data 331, for example, includes data that can be sensed by the wearable sensor 102, such as the pressure sensor data. Examples of the pressure sensor data include pressure data 304 that is sensed by the first finger, pressure data 305 that is sensed by the second finger, and the like. Obviously, examples of the pressure sensor data may include pressure data that is sensed by the third finger, the fourth finger, or the fifth finger. A time change of the pressure data 304 and the pressure data 305 can be notated as a graph. Such a graph is generated by the recording unit 105, and graph data thereof is recorded in the storage unit 109.
As with the case of the standard glove standard operation data 311, the recording unit 105 defines the start and the end of the target operation zone as the start time t1′ at which the increase of the pressure graph is started and the end time t2′ at which the decrease of the pressure graph is ended. In the time zone of the start time t1′ to the end time t2′, the recording unit 105 obtains the value of a difference a between a maximum value and a minimum value of the pressure data 305 that is sensed by the second finger and the value of a difference b′ between a maximum value and a minimum value of the pressure data 304 that is sensed by the first finger.
Accordingly, as with the description of
As described above, the comparison unit 106 that is the determination unit calculates the properties of the operator by using the sensor data in the operation zone of the wearable sensor 102, and calculates the properties standard motion mechanism 101 by using the standard sensor data in the zone corresponding to the operation zone, and the correction unit 107 performs the correction, on the basis of a relationship calculated by the determination unit from the properties of the operator wearing the wearable sensor 102 and the properties of the standard motion mechanism 101 provided with the wearable sensor 102. Note that, here, a correction method is an example, and it is obviously possible to perform the correction by using a general statistical value.
As described above, personal properties of the operator 341 can be corrected on the basis of the standard motion mechanism 101. The personal properties are physical characteristics of an individual hand such as the size of the hand or the length of the finger, and motional characteristics of the personal hand such as the habit of a bending mode and a gripping mode of the finger. The reflection of the personal properties on the data can be corrected. That is, the comparison unit 106 that is the determination unit calculates a relationship between the standard sensor data that is sensed by the wearable sensor 102 provided with the standard motion mechanism 101 for performing the standard motion of the wearable sensor and the sensor data that is sensed by the wearable sensor 102 worn by the operator, and the correction unit 107 corrects the sensor data, on the basis of the relationship that is calculated by the determination unit, and thus, it is possible to accurately correct the personal properties of the operator. Note that, in this example, the sensor data is corrected by using the relationship, but the standard sensor data may be corrected by using the relationship.
The operator 441 performs the standard motion with respect to the load cell 401. The wearable sensor 102 transmits the sensor data at this time to the recording unit 105, as operation data 431, and the recording unit 105 records the storage unit 109 in the operation data 431. In addition, the load cell 401 transmits pressure data that is sensed to the recording unit 105, as load cell operation data 411, and the recording unit 105 records the load cell operation data 411 in the storage unit 109.
The load cell operation data 411, for example, includes data that can be sensed by the wearable sensor 102, such as the pressure sensor data. Examples of the pressure sensor data include pressure data 402 that is sensed by the first finger, pressure data 403 that is sensed by the second finger, and the like. Obviously, examples of the pressure sensor data may include pressure data that is sensed by the third finger, the fourth finger, or the fifth finger. A time change of the pressure data 403 and the pressure data 402 can be notated as a graph. The graph is generated by the recording unit 105, and graph data thereof is recorded in the storage unit 109.
In this system, the motion sound is utilized in order to specify the time zone in which the target motion is performed. The operator 441 wears the wearable sensor 102, and performs a motion with respect to the load cell 401. A motion sound generated at this time is sensed by the wearable sensor 102, and the recording unit 105 extracts the time zone before and after the motion sound is sensed, as the target operation zone. The recording unit 105 defines the start and the end of the target operation zone as the start time t1 at which the increase of the pressure graph is started and the end time t2 at which the decrease of the pressure graph is ended. In the time range of the start time t1 to the end time t2, the recording unit 105 obtains the value of a difference a between a maximum value and a minimum value of the pressure data 403 that is sensed by the load cell 401 by receiving a pressure from the second finger and the value of a difference b between a maximum value and a minimum value of the pressure data 402 that is sensed by the load cell 401 by receiving a pressure from the first finger.
Similarly, the operation data 431, for example, includes data that can be sensed by the wearable sensor 102, such as the pressure sensor data. Examples of the pressure sensor data include pressure data 404 that is sensed by the first finger, pressure data 405 that is sensed by the second finger, and the like. Obviously, examples of the pressure sensor data may include pressure data that is sensed by the third finger, the fourth finger, or the fifth finger. A time change of the pressure data 404 and the pressure data 405 can be notated as a graph. Such a graph is generated by the recording unit 105, and graph data thereof is recorded in the storage unit 109.
As with the case of the load cell operation data 411, the recording unit 105 defines the start and the end of the target operation zone as the start time t1′ at which the increase of the pressure graph is started and end time t2′ at which the decrease of the pressure graph is ended. In the time range of the start time t1′ to the end time t2′, the recording unit 105 obtains the value of a difference a′ between a maximum value and a minimum value of the pressure data 405 that is sensed by the second finger and the value of a difference b′ between a maximum value and a minimum value of the pressure data 404 that is sensed by the first finger.
Accordingly, as with the description of
As described above, individual properties of the wearable sensor 102 subjected to a time degradation can be corrected on the basis of the load cell 401. That is, the load cell 401 senses a pressure that is received, the comparison unit 106 that is the determination unit calculates a relationship between first sensor data that is sensed by the wearable sensor 102 worn by the operator and second sensor data in which the load cell 401 senses a pressure from the wearable sensor 102, and the correction unit 107 corrects the first sensor data that is sensed by the wearable sensor 102, on the basis of the relationship that is calculated by the determination unit, and thus, it is possible to accurately correct the individual properties of the wearable sensor subjected to the time degradation. Note that, in this example, the first sensor data is corrected by using the relationship, but the second sensor data may be corrected by using the relationship.
The wearable sensor 102 is mounted on the standard motion mechanism 101, and then, the standard motion mechanism 101 performs the standard motion with respect to an instrument 501. The wearable sensor 102 transmits the sensor data at this time to the recording unit 105, as the standard glove standard operation data, and the recording unit 105 records standard glove standard operation data 511 in the storage unit 109.
The standard glove standard operation data 511, for example, includes data that can be sensed by the wearable sensor 102, such as the pressure sensor data. Examples of the pressure sensor data include pressure data 502 that is sensed by the first finger, pressure data 503 that is sensed by the second finger, and the like. Obviously, examples of the pressure sensor data may include pressure data that is sensed by the third finger, the fourth finger, or the fifth finger. A time change of the pressure data 502 and the pressure data 503 can be notated as a graph. Such a graph is generated by the recording unit 105, and graph data thereof is recorded in the storage unit 109.
In this system, the motion sound is utilized in order to specify the time zone in which the target motion is performed. The wearable sensor 102 is mounted on the standard motion mechanism 101, and the standard motion is performed with respect to the instrument 501. A motion sound generated at this time is sensed by the wearable sensor 102, and the recording unit 105 extracts the time zone before and after the motion sound is sensed, as the target operation zone. The recording unit 105 defines the start and the end of the target operation zone as the start time t1 at which the increase of the pressure graph is started and the end time t2 at which the decrease of the pressure graph is ended. In the time range of the start time t1 to the end time t2, the recording unit 105 obtains the value of a difference a between a maximum value and a minimum value of the pressure data 503 that is sensed by the second finger and the value of a difference b between a maximum value and a minimum value of the pressure data 502 that is sensed by the first finger.
Similarly, the wearable sensor 104 is mounted on the standard motion mechanism 101, and the standard motion mechanism 101 performs the standard motion with respect to the instrument 501. The wearable sensor 104 transmits the sensor data at this time to the recording unit 105, as operation data 521, and the recording unit 105 records the operation data 331 in the storage unit 109.
The operation data 521, for example, includes data that can be sensed by the wearable sensor 102, such as the pressure sensor data. Examples of the pressure sensor data include pressure data 504 that is sensed by the first finger, pressure data 505 that is sensed by the second finger, and the like. Obviously, examples of the pressure sensor data may include pressure data that is sensed by the third finger, the fourth finger, or the fifth finger. A time change of the pressure data 503 and the pressure data 504 can be notated as a graph. Such a graph is generated by the recording unit 105, and graph data thereof is recorded in the storage unit 109.
As with the case of the standard glove standard operation data 511, the recording unit 105 defines the start and the end of the target operation zone as the start time t1′ at which the increase of the pressure graph is started and the end time t2′ at which the decrease of the pressure graph is ended. In the time range of the start time t1′ to the end time t2′, the recording unit 105 obtains the value of a difference a between a maximum value and a minimum value of the pressure data 505 that is sensed by the second finger and the value of a difference b′ between a maximum value and a minimum value of the pressure data 504 that is sensed by the first finger.
Accordingly, the comparison unit 106 is capable of obtaining a ratio of the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the standard glove standard operation data 511 to the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the operation data 521, such as a/a′ or b/b′. As illustrated in
Here, a determination threshold value will be described. The determination threshold value is a value for determining that a motion satisfying a certain condition is performed in the case of exceeding the value. The determination threshold value is a threshold value for determining the motion that is performed by the standard motion mechanism 101, in accordance with the size of the sensor data. The threshold value, for example, is stored in the storage unit 109.
The correction unit 107 sets a determination threshold value p′ and a determination threshold value q′ in the operation data 521 with respect to a determination threshold value p and a determination threshold value q in the standard glove standard operation data 511, on the basis of a/a′ and b/b′. That is, the correction unit 107 sets each of the determination threshold values p′ and q′ to a product of the determination threshold value p and a/a′ and a product of the determination threshold value q and b/b′. As described above, the correction unit 107 sets a determination threshold value for determining that a predetermined motion is performed by using the first wearable sensor or the second wearable sensor, on the basis of the properties of the first wearable sensor provided with the standard motion mechanism 101 and the properties of the second wearable sensor provided with the standard motion mechanism 101.
According to such setting, it is possible to set the threshold value of the motion determination with respect to acquired data of a wearable sensor 531, on the basis of individual properties of the wearable sensor 531, without performing the data correction. For example, in a case where a use frequency of an instrument sensing a load or a pressure, such as a load cell, is less than that of a wearable sensor that is worn by an operator, it is possible to sense the load or the pressure with a correct sensitivity even when years have elapsed. On the other hand, the wearable sensor is frequently worn by the operator, and thus, the sensitivity decreases as years have elapsed. For this reason, in a case where the same determination threshold value is set regardless of the elapsed years, it is not possible to perform correct determination by using the sensed sensor data. Therefore, as described above, the comparison unit 106 sets again the threshold value, in accordance with a decrease in the sensitivity, and thus, it is possible to accurately determine the motion by using the sensor data that is obtained from the wearable sensor.

In the individual difference correction processing, a glove that is the wearable device is mounted on the standard motion mechanism 101, and the operation data 221 is acquired by the wearable sensor 104 provided in the glove (Step 801). After that, the recording unit 105 extracts the time zone between the start time t1 and the end time t2, before and after the motion sound is sensed, from the operation data 221, as the target operation zone (Step 802).
The comparison unit 106 calculates the difference a′ between the maximum value and the minimum value of the pressure data 205 that is sensed by the second finger and the difference b′ between the maximum value and the minimum value of the pressure data 204 that is sensed by the first finger, in the target operation zone of the operation data 221 (Step 803). The comparison unit 106 calculates the ratios (a/a′ and b/b′) of such values, and the difference a between the maximum value and the minimum value of the pressure data 203 that is sensed by the second finger and the difference b between the maximum value and the minimum value of the pressure data 202 that is sensed by the first finger, in the target operation zone of the standard glove standard operation data 211 (Step 804), and the correction unit 107 corrects the value of the operation data 211 to be coincident with the value of the glove standard operation data 211 (Step 805). As described above, the individual difference correction processing is executed, and thus, it is possible to correct the individual properties of the wearable sensor, on the basis of the standard wearable sensor.
In the personal difference correction processing, the glove that is the wearable device is worn by the operator 341, the operation data 331 is acquired by the wearable sensor 102 provided in the glove (Step 901). After that, the recording unit 105, the comparison unit 106, and the correction unit 197 execute the same processing as that of Step 802 to Step 805 in
In the aging variation correction processing, the operator 441 wears the glove that is the wearable device and grips the load cell 401, the wearable sensor 102 transmits the operation data 431 to the recording unit 105, and the recording unit 105 acquires the operation data 431, and the load cell operation data 411 that is stored in advance in the storage unit 109 (Step 1001). After that, the comparison unit 106 calculates the ratios (a/a′ and b/b′) of the difference a between the maximum value and the minimum value of the pressure data 403 that is sensed by the second finger and the difference b between the maximum value and the minimum value of the pressure data 402 that is sensed by the first finger, in the operation zone of the load cell operation data 411, to the difference a′ between the maximum value and the minimum value of the pressure data 405 that is sensed by the second finger and the difference b′ between the maximum value and the minimum value of the pressure data 404 that is sensed by the first finger, in the operation zone of the operation data 431 (Step 1002). The correction unit 107 corrects the value of the operation data 431 to be coincident with the value of the load cell operation data 411 (Step 1003). As described above, the aging variation correction processing is executed, and thus, it is possible to correct the individual properties of the wearable sensor 102 subjected to the time degradation, on the basis of the load cell 401.
In the determination threshold value adjustment processing, the wearable sensor 104, the recording unit 105, and the comparison unit 106 execute the same processing as that of Step 801 to Step 804 in
In a case where the ratios (a/a′ and b/b′) of the difference a between the maximum value and the minimum value of the pressure data 203 that is sensed by the second finger and the difference b between the maximum value and the minimum value of the pressure data 202 that is sensed by the first finger are calculated, the correction unit 107 corrects the determination threshold value, in accordance with the calculated ratios of the differences between the maximum values and the minimum values (Step 1105). As described above, the determination threshold value adjustment processing is executed, and thus, it is possible to set the threshold value of the motion determination, on the basis of the individual properties of the wearable sensor 531, without performing the data correction.
A first correction parameter 1501, for example, is a parameter indicating the ratio a/a′ of the differences between the maximum values and the minimum values of the pressure data of the second finger in the description of
A second correction parameter 1503, for example, is a parameter indicating the ratio b/b′ of the differences between the maximum values and the minimum values of the pressure data of the first finger in the description of
Each of the correction parameters can be increased by manipulating an addition button 1505. For example, the addition button 1505 is pressed down, and thus, the GUI 1201 newly displays a row of a third correction parameter.
Each of the correction parameters can be corrected by manipulating a correction button 1506. For example, the correction button 1506 is pressed down, and thus, the GUI 1201 sets the setting field 1502 of the first correction parameter 1501 or the setting field 1504 of the second correction parameter 1503 to be in a state where input is available, and receives the change of such setting values.
Further, the correction parameter can be deleted by manipulating a deletion button 1507. For example, the deletion button 1507 is pressed down, and thus, the GUI 1201 deletes the first correction parameter 1501 or the second correction parameter 1503.
A first correction threshold value 1511, for example, is the threshold value p in the description of
A second correction threshold value 1513, for example, is the threshold value q in the description of
Each of the correction threshold values can be increased by manipulating an addition button 1515. For example, the addition button 1515 is pressed down, and thus, the GUI 1201 newly displays a row of a third correction threshold value.
Each of the correction threshold values can be corrected by manipulating a correction button 1516. For example, the correction button 1516 is pressed down, and thus, the GUI 1201 sets the setting field 1512 of the first correction threshold value 1511 or the setting field 1514 of the second correction threshold value 1513 to be in a state where input is available, and receives the change of such setting values.
Further, each of the correction threshold values can be deleted by manipulating a deletion button 1517. For example, the deletion button 1517 is pressed down, and thus, the GUI 1201 deletes the first correction threshold value 1511 or the second correction threshold value 1513.
A graph 1521 before correction is an example of a graph illustrating the sensor data of the wearable sensor before the correction. In
A graph 1531 after correction is an example of a graph illustrating the sensor data of the wearable sensor after the correction. In
In sensor state monitoring information 1541, whether the state of a wearable sensor that is registered is normal or abnormal is displayed. The GUI 1201 displays a sensor name that is registered in a sensor name 1542. The GUI 1201 displays the state of each wearable sensor corresponding to the sensor name 1542, registered in a state 1543. The GUI 1201 displays that the wearable sensor is normal in a case where the sensor is in a normal state, and the wearable sensor is abnormal in a case where the sensor is in an abnormal state. Note that, in a case where the wearable sensor is abnormal, information indicating an alert by the blink or the sound of the display may be output, and thus, a user may be notified or informed. In the determination of whether the wearable sensor is abnormal or normal, for example, it may be determined that the wearable sensor is abnormal in a case where the comparison unit 106 or the correction unit 107 determines that the sensed sensor data does not satisfy the reference value or in a case where it is determined that each divergence degree between the operation data and the standard glove operation data, between the operation data and the standard operation data, and between the operation data and the load cell operation data is greater than or equal to a constant reference, in addition to a case where the sensor data of the wearable sensor is not capable of being sensed. The comparison unit 106 or the correction unit 107 determines that it is not possible to perform the correction in the wearable sensor that is determined as abnormal, by using the correction parameter or the correction threshold value, and as described above, outputs that the wearable sensor is abnormal.
As described above, the information processing device 600 displays a parameter display portion for displaying the correction parameter described above (for example, the setting field 1502 of the first correction parameter 1501 or the setting field 1504 of the second correction parameter 1503), a sensor data display portion for displaying the sensor data before and after the correction (for example, the graph 1522 of the sensor data of the second finger before the correction, the graph 1523 of the sensor data of the first finger, the graph 1532 of the sensor data of the second finger after the correction, and the graph 1533 of the sensor data of the first finger), and a threshold value display portion for displaying the threshold value for determining that a predetermined motion is performed by using the wearable sensor (for example, the threshold value p and the threshold value q in the description of
In addition, in the display unit described above, the information processing device 600 is capable of receiving the addition, the deletion, and the change of the parameter that is displayed in the parameter display portion and/or the threshold value that is displayed in the threshold value display portion. Therefore, it is possible for the user to grasp the setting value or the graph that is displayed, and then, to change the current setting value to a desirable setting value or to add or delete the parameter or the threshold value.
In addition, the information processing device 600 displays a state display portion representing whether or not the wearable sensor is in a correctable state (for example, the sensor state monitoring information 1541), on the display unit described above, and in a case where the wearable sensor is not in the correctable state, an alert (for example, information indicating that the wearable sensor is abnormal) in the state display portion described above. Therefore, it is possible for the user to grasp the abnormality of the wearable sensor at a glance.
As described above, in this system, the wearable sensor that is different at each time is mounted on the mechanism that consistently performs the standard operation motion with constant force adjustment, a constant direction, and a constant speed, and the standard motion is performed. The motion is consistently constant, and thus, a difference in the sensing data is reflected as the individual difference of each of the wearable sensors. In this system, the values of each of the wearable sensors are corrected on the basis of the individual difference properties.
Further, in this system, in the same individual wearable sensor, the standard operation motion and each personal motion data item are acquired, physical characteristics of an individual hand such as the size of the hand or the length of the finger, and motional characteristics of the personal hand such as the habit of a bending mode and a gripping mode of the finger are extracted, and the values of each of the wearable sensors are corrected on the basis of the personal properties.
According to such correction, it is possible to efficiently and accurately correct both of the individual difference of each of the wearable sensors and the personal properties of the wearable sensor that is worn by a person.
In addition, in the wearable sensor that senses the motion of the operator, there is a problem that the individual difference of the sensing data increases in accordance with a subtle difference at the time of built-in processing of the sensor, the individual properties of the sensor, or the like. In contrast, according to this mode, it is possible to perform sensing data correction with a high accuracy without an effort, and to easily deploy a reliable wearable sensor to various places and to reduce an operation load.
