JP 2003-150716 A

  An object of the present invention is to enhance the interest of spectators who watch these sports in sports competitions such as marathon, soccer, and baseball.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, in the invention described in claim 1, body condition detection means (10) for detecting the physical condition of the athlete, and detection detected by the body condition detection means (10) It comprises display means (20) for displaying physical information based on the value to the spectators during the competition.

  Thereby, in the invention according to claim 1, the spectator can know the physical information of the competitor who is competing while watching the competition, so that it is possible to enhance the interest of the audience watching the competition.

  Here, the term “audience” means not only a spectator who directly watches a competition in a stadium, but also a spectator (viewer) who indirectly watches a competition via a television broadcast or the Internet. .

The term “during competition” refers to the time when the spectator watches the competition, and is not limited to the case where the athlete is actually competing.
In other words, when watching a competition directly on the stadium, the time when the athlete is playing matches the time when the spectator watches the competition. In the case of watching a game indirectly, the time when the player actually plays the game does not coincide with the time when the player watches the game.

  However, in the invention described in claim 1, “when a spectator watches a competition” is based on the spectator regardless of whether the competition is directly watched or indirectly watched. This corresponds to “during competition” in the invention.

  In the invention according to claim 2, the display means (20) displays physical information about a plurality of athletes simultaneously for each athlete during the competition. It can further enhance the interest of the audience.

  In the invention according to claim 3, the body state detection means (10) can detect a plurality of types of body states, and the display means (20) displays the information from a plurality of types of body information. Since it has the selection means (40) for selecting the physical information which should be, it can further enhance the interest of the audience watching the competition.

  Incidentally, the reference numerals in parentheses for each of the above means are examples showing the correspondence with the specific means described in the embodiments described later, and the present invention is indicated by the reference numerals in the parentheses of the above respective means. It is not limited to specific means.

  In the present embodiment, the player's physical state display system according to the present invention is applied to a competition performed by a plurality of players (players) such as soccer and baseball, and the embodiments of the present invention are described below. It explains together.

2. Outline of athlete's physical condition display system 2.1. Portable Device The portable device 10 is a body state detection unit that is attached to the athlete's body (for example, wrist or ankle) and detects the athlete's body condition.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1A, the portable device 10 includes physiological sensors such as a heart rate sensor 11 that detects the athlete's heart rate and a blood pressure sensor 12 that detects the athlete's blood pressure, and these sensors. 11, a transmission / reception circuit 13 that wirelessly transmits detection results to the system controller 20, a transmission / reception circuit 13, a control circuit 14 that controls both sensors 11, 12, a battery 15 that supplies power to these 11-14, and the like It is composed of

The heart rate sensor 11 and the blood pressure sensor 12 are well-known physiological sensors described in Patent Document 1 and the like.
The control circuit 14 is constituted by a known microcomputer including a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, and the like. The control circuit 14 is a ROM that performs communication with the system controller 20 via the transmission / reception circuit 13. The heart rate sensor 11, the blood pressure sensor 12, and the transmission / reception circuit 13 are controlled in accordance with a program stored in advance.

2.2. System Controller The system controller 20 receives heart rate information and blood pressure information transmitted from the portable device 10, and installs information generated based on the received information (hereinafter, this information is referred to as physical information) in the stadium. Display means for displaying on the displayed display device 30 or the like.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1B, the system controller 20 generates physical information by processing the received information and a transmission / reception circuit 21 that transmits and receives information to and from the portable device 10, It comprises a processing circuit 22 that transmits the physical information to a display device 30 of a stadium, a relay station of a television system, a relay station that distributes images via the Internet, or the like.

  Note that the physical information according to the present embodiment is information that allows the audience and viewers to intuitively recognize changes in heart rate and blood pressure using changes in graphs and images. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be information added with information that can be intuitively recognized through hearing, such as voice changes according to changes in heart rate and blood pressure. .

3. Operation and Characteristics of Athlete Physical Status Display System FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a display example of physical information distributed via the Internet. As shown in FIG. 2, the physical information transmitted (output) from the system controller 20 is displayed for each of the plurality of athletes during the competition at the same time for each athlete.

That is, the body information A is the body information about the left side player in FIG. 2, and the body information B is the body information about the left side player in FIG.
In FIG. 2, both heart rate and blood pressure are displayed as physical information, but the viewer can select a plurality of types of physical information by using a display information selection check box 40 set on the lower side of the display screen. The physical information to be displayed can be selected.
