Description

  The present technology relates to a pacemaker device, an operation method thereof, and a program, and more particularly, to a pacemaker device, an operation method thereof, and a program capable of presenting an optimal moving pace to each user.

  Conventionally, there has been a pacemaker device that presents the running pace and walking pace to marathon runners and pedestrians as they move.

  However, since the conventional pacemaker device sounds at a constant tempo once determined before starting running or walking, the pacemaker device can only present the pace at the same tempo. For this reason, for example, if you are physically or mentally reduced in your ability to run or walk, you will not like to run or walk, and eventually ignore the pace. And even stopping running and walking itself.

  In view of this, a device has been proposed that monitors and tracks the motor activities of runners and pedestrians as users, thereby encouraging them to encourage, run, or walk as needed ( Patent Document 1).

<1. First Embodiment>
[Configuration example of pacemaker system]
FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of an embodiment of a pacemaker system to which the present technology is applied. The pacemaker system shown in FIG. 1 includes intelligent pacemakers 11-1 to 11-n connected to a network 13 represented by the Internet, and a lap time DB management server 12. Note that the intelligent pacemakers 11-1 to 11-n are simply referred to as the intelligent pacemaker 11 when there is no need to distinguish between them, and the other configurations are also referred to in the same manner.

  The intelligent pacemaker 11 is a portable running pacemaker possessed by a runner who is a user and having a function as a media player. That is, the intelligent pacemaker 11 includes a headphone 31 (FIG. 2), and as a media player, reproduces and outputs various music pieces with various rhythms and tempos. As described above, the intelligent pacemaker 11 reproduces various music pieces at various rhythms and tempos, thereby prompting the runner who is the user to run according to the rhythm and tempo of the music piece to be reproduced. Functions as a pacemaker.

  For each runner, the lap time DB management server 12 is the difference between the passage time of each straight run registration point and the run time for each runner and for each registration point that is a predetermined position on the course. The lap time is managed as a database (DB).

  When the user is operated when the user runs, the intelligent pacemaker 11 accesses the lap time DB management server 12 via the network 13 in response to the operation. When the lap time DB management server 12 receives an access from the intelligent pacemaker 11 via the network 13, the lap time DB management server 12 converts the necessary lap time data out of all the lap time data registered in the lap time database upon request. 11 to send.

  The intelligent pacemaker 11 acquires lap term data from the lap time DB management server 12 via the network 13. The intelligent pacemaker 11 searches the data of all lap times corresponding to the course from which the runner will run, presents it as a list to the runner who is the user, and prompts the user to select one of the lap times. Further, the intelligent pacemaker 11 generates and presents a target lap time based on the selected lap time, such as by multiplying an appropriate coefficient by the runner. Furthermore, when the runner starts running, the intelligent pacemaker 11 measures the lap time at each registration point on the course, and plays the music by changing the music, the music tempo, and the rhythm based on the difference from the target lap time. This encourages the pace of running according to the tempo and rhythm of the music.

  Here, the lap time data displayed as a list can include, for example, lap times when an Olympic athlete or a player who has won a prize at a competition or the like actually ran. Therefore, for example, when it is desired to run with a longing for the target Olympic player, the target player's lap time data can be selected as the target lap time. In this way, the runner who is the user can set the player or record that he wants to make the target as the standard lap time, so the motivation to continue training by satisfying the desire of the runner and the desire to catch up with the goal As a result, it is possible to improve athletic ability.

[First embodiment of intelligent pacemaker]
Next, a configuration example of the intelligent pacemaker 11 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  The intelligent pacemaker 11 includes a control unit 21, a GPS (Global Positioning System) 22, a user input unit 23, a communication unit 24, a music data storage unit 25, an RTC (Real Time Clock) 26, a display unit 27, an audio output unit 28, and An acceleration sensor 29 is provided.

  The control unit 21 includes a microcomputer such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and a ROM (Read Only Memory). The control unit 21 controls the overall operation of the intelligent pacemaker 11 by causing the CPU to develop and execute various programs and data stored in the ROM on the RAM.

  The GPS 22 receives a signal transmitted from a satellite (not shown), detects the position of the intelligent pacemaker 11 on the earth as information such as latitude and longitude, and supplies the position information to the control unit 21. In addition, since it is only necessary to detect the position information, the position information may be detected by a method other than using the GPS 22, for example, the position information using a mutual distance from a connection point of Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity). May be detected.

  The user input unit 23 includes operation buttons, operation switches, and the like. The user input unit 23 receives an operation of a runner who is a user. When the operation is received, a corresponding operation signal is generated and supplied to the control unit 21.

  The communication unit 24 includes, for example, an Ethernet (registered trademark) board and the like, communicates with the lap time DB management server 12 via the network 13 represented by the Internet, and exchanges data.

  The music data storage unit 25 stores music data as music for presenting the pace of the runner who is a user in a predetermined compression format, and supplies music data in response to a request from the control unit 21. To do. The RTC 26 generates actual time information and supplies it to the control unit 21.

  The display unit 27 includes an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence), and the like, displays various types of information supplied from the control unit 21, and presents them to a runner who is a user.

  When the audio output unit 28 receives the supply of music data stored in the music data storage unit 25 from the control unit 21, the audio output unit 28 reproduces the corresponding music data, supplies it to the headphones 31, and outputs the music data.

  The acceleration sensor 29 measures the acceleration in the body of the intelligent pacemaker 11, detects the movement of the runner who is the user wearing it, and supplies a detection signal corresponding to the detected movement to the control unit 21. The detection signal of the acceleration sensor 29 enables the runner who is the user to be identified as running, running, and staggering, and can recognize the running speed and the degree of wobbling. It becomes possible.

  Next, a detailed configuration of the control unit 21 will be described.

  The control unit 21 includes a course setting unit 41, a course storage unit 42, a position specifying unit 43, a target selection unit 44, a target lap time generation unit 45, a target lap time storage unit 46, a lap time measurement unit 47, a lap time measurement result storage unit 48, and a lap time. A comparison unit 49 and a notification information generation unit 50 are provided.

  The course setting unit 41 selects a course that can be selected as a running course based on the position information specified by the position specifying unit 43 based on a signal supplied from the GPS 22, and displays an image that prompts the user to select one of them. Displayed on the unit 27. The course setting unit 41 regards the course selected by operating the user input unit 23 based on the image displayed on the display unit 27 as the set course, and stores the selected course in the course storage unit 42. .

  The position specifying unit 43 specifies the position on the map built in itself from the information supplied from the GPS 22, that is, the latitude and longitude information on the earth.

  When the target selection unit 44 generates a target lap time, the target selection unit 44 controls the communication unit 24 to access the lap time DB management server 12 via the network 13 and acquire lap time data corresponding to the set course. . Further, the target selection unit 44 generates a display image of a list of acquired lap time data, generates an image that prompts selection of any of them, and displays the generated image on the display unit 27. Then, the target selection unit 44 supplies the target lap time generation unit 45 with the lap time data selected by operating the user input unit 23.

  When the target lap time generation unit 45 acquires the lap time data supplied from the target selection unit 44, the target lap time generation unit 45 generates a target lap time that is optimal for the runner to set a target by, for example, multiplying by a predetermined coefficient. More specifically, the target lap time generation unit 45 sets a predetermined coefficient based on the past lap time of the runner who is the user, and multiplies the lap time supplied from the target selection unit 44 to obtain the target lap time. Generate. Furthermore, the target lap time generation unit 45 displays the generated target lap time on the display unit 27 and also displays a confirmation image on the display unit 27 such that the target lap time is further delayed, further accelerated, or left as it is. Based on this confirmation screen, when the runner operates the user input unit 23 to slow down or speed up the target lap time, the target lap time generation unit 45 adjusts the coefficient so that it can respond to the request, The target lap time is generated by multiplying the coefficient again and displayed on the display unit 27. Then, when the runner operates the user input unit 22 and the displayed target lap time is deemed to be sufficient, the target lap time generation unit 45 stores the target lap time in the target lap time storage unit 46.

  The lap time measurement unit 47 determines whether or not it is a measurement position of a lap time on the course, that is, a registration point, based on the position information supplied from the position specifying unit 43, and at the timing that is the lap time measurement position, the RTC 26 The passage time is measured by reading the time information supplied from the station. Furthermore, the lap time measuring unit 47 calculates a lap time from the difference between the passing time measured at the registration point on the course corresponding to the position information supplied from the position specifying unit 43 and the passing time of the immediately preceding registration point, The calculated lap time is stored in the lap time measurement result storage unit 48 as the measured lap time together with the information on the registered points.

  The lap time comparison unit 49 compares the target lap time stored in the target lap time storage unit 46 with the measured lap time stored in the lap time measurement result storage unit 48 and supplies the comparison result to the notification information generation unit 50. .

  The notification information generation unit 50 selects a song stored in the song data storage unit 25 based on the comparison result, and instructs the audio output unit 28 to reproduce the song at a rhythm or tempo corresponding to the comparison result. As a result, the reproduction output unit 28 expands the music data compressed in a predetermined compression format in accordance with the instruction from the notification information generation unit 50, and outputs the specified rhythm or the specified music as sound from the headphones. To do.

  For example, when the measured lap time is advanced with respect to the target lap time and there is a sufficient margin with respect to the target lap time, the notification information generating unit 50 reproduces a slow-tempo music in a relaxed atmosphere. By doing so, the runner listens to the slow, slow-tempo music that can be heard from the headphones 31, and if the pace is reduced, the runner approaches the target lap time set based on the target runner's lap time. You will be able to realize that you can run. Also, running along with slow-tempo music encourages you to run at an appropriate pace without having to consciously change the running rhythm. Further, for example, when the measured lap time is delayed with respect to the target lap time and there is no room for the target lap time, the music having a slightly up-tempo atmosphere is reproduced. By doing in this way, the runner is set with reference to the target runner's lap time by listening to the music of the up-tempo pace that is heard from the headphones 31 and running at a higher pace. You will be able to realize that you can run close to the target lap time. Also, running along with up-tempo music encourages you to run at an appropriate pace without having to consciously change the running rhythm.

[Pacemaker operation processing by intelligent pacemaker in Fig. 2]
Next, the pacemaker operation process by the intelligent pacemaker of FIG. 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S <b> 1, the course setting unit 41 executes a course setting process, sets a course on which a runner who is a user will run, and stores the set course in the course storage unit 42. The course setting process will be described later in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S <b> 2, the target selection unit 44 controls the communication unit 24 together with the course information stored in the course storage unit 42, and transmits the lap time data of the person who has run the course via the network 13 to the lap time DB. Requests to the management server 12.

  In step S <b> 21, the lap time DB management server 12 determines whether or not lap time data corresponding to the course set by any intelligent pacemaker 11 has been requested via the network 12. In step S21, for example, when lap time data corresponding to the set course is supplied by the process of step S2, it is assumed that lap time data is requested, and the process proceeds to step S22.

  In step S22, the lap time DB management server 12 searches for data corresponding to the set course among lap time data managed as a database (DB) by itself. The lap time data includes lap time data for each course run by other runners using the intelligent pacemaker 11 for running, and runner lap time data including prominent runners in the Olympic and international competitions. The lap time data includes the time for each predetermined section provided on the course, that is, the lap time, and the external environment information including the weather conditions for each section at that time, such as weather, temperature, precipitation, atmospheric pressure. Information such as humidity, altitude, and altitude (altitude) is also included.

  In step S23, the lap time DB management server 12 transmits the retrieved lap time data and information on the person of the lap time to the intelligent pacemaker 11 that has requested the lap time data.

  If no lap time data corresponding to the set course has been requested in step S21, the processes in steps S22 and S23 are skipped.

  In step S3, the target selection unit 44 acquires lap time data corresponding to the set course transmitted from the lap time DB management server 12 by the process of step S21.

  In step S4, the target selection unit 44 generates a list of selectable lap times as a list of the acquired lap times and their persons, displays the list on the display unit 27, and sets one of the lap times displayed in the list as a target. An image prompting to be selected as the lap time is displayed.

  In step S5, the target selection unit 44 determines whether any lap time is selected. If it is determined that any lap time is not selected, the process returns to step S4. That is, steps S4 and S5 are repeated until any lap time is selected as the target. In step S5, for example, when any lap time is selected, it is considered that the target lap time is selected, and the process proceeds to step S6.

  In step S <b> 6, the target lap time generation unit 45 executes target lap time generation processing, generates a target lap time based on the selected lap time, and stores the generated target lap time in the target lap time storage unit 46. Details of the target lap time generation processing will be described later with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S <b> 7, the lap time measurement unit 47 determines whether the user who is a runner has started running based on the detection signal from the acceleration sensor 29. In step S7, when the lap time measurement unit 47 determines that the vehicle has started running based on the detection signal from the acceleration sensor 29, the process proceeds to step S8. If it is determined in step S7 that the vehicle has not started running, the process in step S8 is skipped.

  In step S <b> 8, the notification information generation unit 50 executes notification processing, compares the measured lap time sequentially measured with the running and the target lap time, and selects the music corresponding to the comparison result from the audio output unit 28 through the headphones 31. Output from. The notification process will be described in detail later with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  When the runner stops running or runs through the set course, the process of step S8 ends, and the process proceeds to step S9.

  In step S9, the course setting unit 41 determines whether the user input unit 23 has been operated and resetting has been instructed. For example, when resetting is instructed, the process returns to step S1, and the subsequent processes are repeated. On the other hand, if resetting is not instructed, the process proceeds to step S10.

  In step S <b> 10, the control unit 21 determines whether or not the user input unit 23 has been operated to instruct the end of the operation. In step S10, for example, when the operation end is not instructed, the process returns to step S7. That is, if the user starts to run, stops running, or finishes running the set course, and if neither resetting nor ending instruction is given, the processes in steps S7 to S10 are repeated.

  In step S10, when an end instruction is given, the process proceeds to step S11. In step S <b> 11, the notification information generation unit 50 controls the communication unit 24 together with the set course information and the information for identifying the runner, using the measured lap time data stored in the lap time measurement result storage unit 48. To the lap time DB management server 12.

  In step S24, the lap time DB management server 12 determines whether or not the measured lap time has been transmitted from any intelligent pacemaker 11. In step S24, for example, when the measurement lap time is transmitted by the process of step S11, it is considered that the measurement lap time has been transmitted, and the process proceeds to step S25.

  In step S25, the lap time DB management server 12 acquires the transmitted measured lap time, registers it in the DB in step S26, and the process returns to step S21. If it is determined in step S24 that no intelligent lap time is transmitted from any intelligent pacemaker 11, the processes in steps S25 and S26 are skipped, and the process returns to step S21.

  That is, by the above processing, the runner who has the intelligent pacemaker 11 can acquire data of a plurality of lap times corresponding to the set course by setting the course that he / she wants to run. Moreover, the target lap time is generated by selecting one of the acquired courses. When running is started, it is possible to run with the pace controlled while receiving notifications corresponding to the difference between the measured lap time measured together with the target and the target lap time. By running for the target lap time generated based on the lap time, it is possible to improve physical fitness while having fun.

  Further, after the running is completed, the measured lap time obtained by own running is supplied to the lap time DB management server 12, so that, for example, the lap time at that time is generated as a target lap time on another day. It is possible to select the desired lap time, and by generating the target lap time using the lap time of the player, the speed of running can be gradually improved.

  Furthermore, for the target lap time registered in the lap time DB management server 12, by registering records held by the Olympic athletes and officially certified records, the Olympic athletes and officially certified records can be targeted. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy running while continuing running, so that it can be enjoyed gradually, and motivation to continue running can be achieved.

[Course setting process]
Next, the course setting process by the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S41, the course setting unit 41 controls the position specifying unit 43 and includes the latitude and longitude information of the current position measured based on a signal from a satellite (not shown) supplied from the GPS 22. Get location information.

  In step S42, the course setting unit 41 specifies the current position on map data (not shown) based on the acquired position information.

  In step S43, the course setting unit 41 displays a selectable course on the display unit 27 based on the information on the current position on the specified map data. That is, the course setting unit 41 generates and displays several courses suitable for running including the current position using map data (not shown). For example, when the current position is near a course such as a well-known marathon event, the course setting unit 41 may select the course as an option. In addition, the course setting unit 41 causes the runner who is the user to input the distance of the course that the user wants to run in advance using the user input unit 23 and generates a running course that is optimal for the input distance including the current position. You may make it an option. Furthermore, the course setting unit 41 may select a course including a current position or a position near the current position, which has been run by a runner who is a user in the past.

  In step S44, the course setting unit 41 determines whether any course is selected by operating the user input unit 23, and repeats the same processing until any course is selected. In step S44, for example, when any course is selected, the process proceeds to step S45.

  In step S45, the course setting unit 41 generates an image such that the selected course is displayed on the map based on map data (not shown), and displays the image on the display unit 27. Furthermore, the course setting unit 41 displays an image that accepts a request for editing the displayed course.

  In step S46, the course setting unit 41 determines whether or not the user input unit 23 has been operated and course editing has been requested. When course editing is requested in step S46, in step S47, the course setting unit 41 is displayed on the display unit 27 in accordance with an operation signal generated by operating the user input unit 23. The course is edited, and the course that is the edited result is displayed on the display unit 27.

  In step S47, the course setting unit 41 determines whether the user input unit 23 has been operated to instruct course determination. If it is determined in step S47 that course determination is not instructed, the process returns to step S45. That is, the processes in steps S45 to S48 are repeated until the course determination is instructed. If it is determined in step S46 that there is no editing request, the editing process in step S47 is skipped.

  If it is determined in step S48 that the course determination is instructed, in step S49, the course setting unit 41 stores the determined course information in the course storage unit 42, and the course setting process is ended. .

  That is, as described above, when the current position is specified, options of a plurality of courses including the specified current position are displayed, and any one of them is selected by operating the user input unit 23. The Furthermore, an editing operation can be added to the selected course as necessary. In this way, it is possible for the runner who is the user to set a course to be run from now on.

[Target lap time setting process]
Next, the target lap time setting process by the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S61, the target lap time generation unit 45 edits the lap time based on the data of the lap time selected as the target lap time so as to be an interval obtained by multiplying the time of each section by a predetermined coefficient x, and the target lap time Is generated. That is, the lap time data is configured as the time obtained for each section set at a plurality of predetermined positions set on the course. Therefore, the target lap time generation unit 45 edits the lap time so as to be an interval obtained by multiplying the lap time by a predetermined coefficient x, thereby editing the target lap time of the runner to an optimum lap time for the runner who is the user. This is the target lap time. The predetermined coefficient x may be a value input by operating the user input unit 23 by the user in advance. Further, the target lap time generation unit 45, for example, when the target lap time is that of a prominent marathon runner, the target lap time is the highest record that the runner who is a user can achieve in the past. It is also possible to obtain a ratio with respect to the lap time to be a predetermined coefficient x.

  In step S <b> 62, the target lap time generation unit 45 displays the generated target lap time on the display unit 27. For example, the target lap time generation unit 45 displays a list of lap times generated as the target lap time on the display unit 27 for each section. By this display, the runner who is the user can recognize how the set target lap time is set in each section.

  In step S63, the target lap time generation unit 45 displays an image that prompts the user to input whether or not the target lap time is displayed on the display unit 27, and the user input unit 23 is operated and displayed. It is determined whether the target lap time is determined. In step S63, for example, when it is determined that the target lap time has not been determined, the process proceeds to step S64.

  In step S <b> 64, the target lap time generation unit 45 generates a display image for inquiring whether to make it faster or later than the current target lap time, and displays it on the display unit 27.

  In step S65, the target lap time generation unit 45 determines whether or not the user input unit 23 has been operated to request that the target lap time be delayed. In step S65, for example, when it is requested to set the target lap time later than the current one, the process proceeds to step S66.

  In step S66, the target lap time generation unit 45 increases the predetermined coefficient x by a predetermined number, and the process returns to step S61.

  On the other hand, if it is not required to delay the target lap time in step S65, it is considered that an earlier target lap time is requested, and the process proceeds to step S67.

  In step S67, the target lap time generation unit 45 decreases the predetermined coefficient x by a predetermined number, and the process returns to step S61.

  That is, when a request is made to delay the target lap time, the target lap time generation unit 45 increases the predetermined coefficient x to increase the target lap time, that is, to generate a delay by a predetermined number. . Conversely, when it is requested to speed up the target lap time, the target lap time generation unit 45 reduces the predetermined coefficient x and decreases the target lap time, that is, regenerates the target lap time so as to be faster by a predetermined number.

  In this manner, the target lap time is repeatedly generated by repeating the processes of steps S61 to S67 until the runner who is the user determines the target lap time. And in step S63, if the user input part 23 is operated so that the runner who is a user may determine as a target lap time, it will consider that the lap time currently displayed is determined as a target lap time, and processing is performed. Proceed to step S68.

  In step S68, the target lap time generation unit 45 stores the currently determined target lap time in the target lap time storage unit 46, and the process ends.

  That is, the target lap time can be generated based on the target lap time from the above processing. In addition, if you do not like the generated target lap time, you can further modify it according to the request for a slower lap time or a faster lap time. It is possible to easily generate such a target lap time.

[Notification processing]
Next, the notification process by the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S <b> 81, the notification information generation unit 50 determines whether or not the user input unit 23 has been operated to instruct a change of music. In step S81, when an instruction to change the music is given, the process proceeds to step S82.

  In step S82, the notification information generating unit 50 accesses the music data storage unit 25, reads out data of selectable music, displays it on the display unit 27 as a list of selectable music, and selects any music. Display an image prompting you to select.

  In step S83, the notification information generation unit 50 determines whether any music is selected by operating the user input unit 23. If no music is selected, the process returns to step S82. That is, the processes of steps S82 and S83 are repeated until any music is selected. In step S83, when the user input unit 23 is operated to select any song, the process proceeds to step S84.

  In step S <b> 84, the notification information generation unit 50 reads the selected music data from the music data storage unit 25 and supplies it to the audio output unit 28. The audio output unit 28 decompresses the music data compressed in a predetermined compression format, converts the digital signal into an analog signal, and outputs the audio from the headphones 31 as the audio of the music. In addition, about the process of step S81 thru | or S84, you may enable it to perform the same operation even before it starts running. Further, when the instruction to change the music is not given in step S81, the processes in steps S82 and S83 are skipped. In this case, the notification information generation unit 50 may reproduce the music set by default or the music set last time.

  In step S85, the lap time measurement unit 47 controls the position specifying unit 43 to acquire position information based on information supplied from the GPS 22, and specifies the current position on the course.

  In step S86, the lap time measurement unit 47 registers the position specified by the position specifying unit 43 as a specific position for setting a section for recording the lap time on the course stored in the course storage unit 42. It is determined whether or not it is within a predetermined distance from the point. In step S86, when the current position is not a registered point for setting a section for recording the lap time, the process returns to step S81. That is, when the runner having the intelligent pacemaker 11 moves on the course set by running, the processing of steps S81 to S85 is repeated when the lap time measurement is unnecessary.

  In step S86, for example, when the runner having the intelligent pacemaker 11 moves on the course set by running, when the vicinity of the registration position where the lap time measurement is necessary is passed, the process is step S87. Proceed to

  In step S87, the lap time measuring unit 47 measures the passing time of the registration point by reading the time signal read by the RTC.

  In step S88, the lap time measurement unit 47 regards the measured passing time as having passed through the registration point on the set course where the lap time should be measured, and associates the measured time with the registration point on the setting course. The lap time measurement result storage unit 48 stores the result.

  In step S89, the lap time measurement unit 47 calculates the lap time from the difference between the latest registration point passage time and the previous registration point passage time stored in the lap time measurement result storage unit 48, and the measured lap time. Is stored in the lap time measurement result storage unit 48.

  In step S90, the lap time measurement unit 47 accesses the target lap time storage unit 46 and reads out the target lap time at the registration point where the passage is detected.

  In step S91, the lap time measurement unit 47 determines whether or not the measured lap time is delayed by a predetermined time or more with respect to the target lap time. In step S91, for example, when the measured lap time is not delayed with respect to the target lap time, the process proceeds to step S92.

  In step S92, the lap time measurement unit 47 determines whether or not the measured lap time has advanced by a predetermined time or more with respect to the target lap time. In step S92, for example, when the measured lap time has not advanced by a predetermined time or more with respect to the target lap time, the process proceeds to step S93.

  In step S93, the lap time measurement unit 47 assumes that the measured lap time is substantially equal to the target lap time and is running in an appropriate state, and supplies information indicating that to the notification information generation unit 50. The notification information generation unit 50 accesses the music data storage unit 25, reads out music data indicating that the stored music is running at an appropriate speed, and supplies the data to the audio output unit 28 for a predetermined time. Then, the original music data is supplied. The audio output unit 28 outputs the audio of the music from the headphones 31 based on the supplied music data.

  On the other hand, in step S92, for example, when the measured lap time has advanced by a predetermined time or more with respect to the target lap time, the process proceeds to step S94.

  In step S94, the lap time measurement unit 47 considers that the measured lap time is ahead of the target lap time, and supplies information indicating that to the notification information generation unit 50. The notification information generation unit 50 accesses the music data storage unit 25, reads out music data indicating that it is running at a faster speed than the target lap time among the stored music, and sends it to the audio output unit 28. Supply only for a predetermined time, and then supply the original music data. The audio output unit 28 outputs the audio of the music from the headphones 31 based on the supplied music data.

  Furthermore, in step S91, for example, when the measured lap time is delayed by a predetermined time or more with respect to the target lap time, the process proceeds to step S95.

  In step S95, the lap time measuring unit 47 regards the measured lap time as being delayed from the target lap time, and supplies information indicating that to the notification information generating unit 50. The notification information generation unit 50 accesses the music data storage unit 25, reads out music data indicating that it is running at a slower speed than the target lap time among the stored music, and sends it to the audio output unit 28. Supply only for a predetermined time, and then supply the original music data. The audio output unit 28 outputs the audio of the music from the headphones 31 based on the supplied music data.

  In step S96, the notification information generation unit 50 indicates the end point of the course in which the user input unit 23 has been operated to instruct the end of the notification process or the current position supplied from the position specification unit 43 is set. Determine if you are considered to have run through the course. In step S96, for example, the end of the notification process is not instructed by operating the user input unit 23, and further, the end point of the course where the current position supplied from the position specifying unit 43 is set is not shown. If it is not considered that the vehicle has run completely, the process returns to step S81. That is, in this case, it is considered that the running is in a continuous state, and the processes after step S81 are repeated.

  On the other hand, in step S96, for example, the end of the notification process is instructed by operating the user input unit 23, or the end point of the course where the current position supplied from the position specifying unit 43 is set is shown. If it is considered that the car has run, the process is terminated.

  With the above processing, the runner who is the user only runs on the set course, and every time the lap time is measured, the runner is running at approximately the same speed as the target lap time, or running at a faster speed. It is possible to listen to music that indicates whether the vehicle is running at a slow speed or delayed. As a result, the runner can recognize his / her lap time with respect to the target lap time just by listening to the music, and can control his / her running pace.

  In the above, an example has been described in which a piece of music that is substantially the same from the difference between the measured lap time and the target lap time, that is advanced, or that is delayed is changed by a predetermined time. You may make it change the reproduction | regeneration rhythm and tempo of the same music according to a state. That is, when the measured lap time and the target lap time are substantially the same, the music is reproduced in the same state so as not to change the rhythm and tempo. Also, if the measured lap time is ahead of the target lap time, the rhythm and tempo are slowed down to encourage the speed to drop, and if the measured lap time is behind the target lap time, the speed is In order to prompt the user to raise the song, the music may be played back at a faster rhythm or tempo. Furthermore, according to the state that the difference between the measured lap time and the target lap time is substantially the same, advanced, or delayed, the volume for playing the music is made the same, reduced, or increased. Also good. In addition, the music is played according to the difference between the measured lap time and the target lap time, and according to the difference, `` running at an appropriate speed '', `` do your best at that pace '', `` too fast '', Alternatively, information indicating a state “delayed” may be displayed on the display unit 27.

<2. Second Embodiment>
[Second Embodiment of Intelligent Pacemaker]
In the above, the example which implement | achieves the function as a pacemaker by producing | generating before starting a target lap time and performing notification processing based on the comparison with the set target lap time and measurement lap time has been demonstrated. However, after the start of running, the user's internal state such as physical condition changes or the external environment such as weather changes, so the target lap time set before starting to run must be changed. It is also possible. The target lap time may be dynamically changed according to such a change in internal state and external environment, or a request from a runner who is a user.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of the configuration of the second embodiment of the intelligent pacemaker 11 in which the target lap time can be dynamically changed in accordance with changes in the internal state and external environment, and requests from the runner who is the user. Yes. In addition, in the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. 7, about the structure provided with the same function as the structure in the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. 2, the same name and the same code | symbol are attached | subjected, and the description is abbreviate | omitted suitably. And

  That is, the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. 7 is different from the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. 2 in that an internal user information measurement unit 71 and an external environment information measurement unit 72 are newly provided. A further different point is that the control unit 11 further includes a dynamic change unit 91, a user internal information acquisition unit 92, a user internal information storage unit 93, an external environment information acquisition unit 94, and an external environment information storage unit 95. It is a point that has.

  The user internal information measuring unit 71 measures, for example, at least one of the user's body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, blood glucose level, and sweating amount as the user internal information, and the measured user internal information is controlled by the control unit 21. To supply. In addition, the external information measuring unit 72 may include, for example, the date and time when the user moves on the moving course, the season, the surroundings, and the temperature, pressure, weather, traffic congestion, exhaust gas amount, and altitude on the moving course. At least one of them is measured and supplied to the control unit 21 as external environment information.

  The dynamic change unit 91 reads the user internal information acquired by the user internal information acquisition unit 91 from the user internal information measurement unit 71 and stored in the user internal information storage unit 93. Further, the dynamic change unit 91 reads the external environment information acquired by the external environment information acquisition unit 94 from the external environment information measurement unit 72 from the external environment information storage unit 95, and stores the user internal information and the external information. The target lap time stored in the target lap time storage unit 46 is dynamically changed based on the target environment information.

  The user internal information acquisition unit 92 acquires information serving as a parameter that can be recognized such as a change in the user's physical condition measured by the user internal information measurement unit 71, and corresponds to the time when the user internal information is acquired. In addition, the information is stored in the user internal information storage unit 93. Therefore, specifically, the configuration of the user internal information measurement unit 71 is a thermometer, a pulse meter, a blood pressure monitor, a blood glucose meter, and a perspiration meter. Note that the internal user information is not limited to such information, and may be other parameters as long as the parameters can detect changes in the physical condition of the user.

  The external environment information acquisition unit 94 acquires information serving as a parameter that allows recognition of changes in the external environment in a course on which a runner who is a user measured by the external environment information measurement unit 72 runs. The acquired external environment information is stored in the external environment information storage unit 95 in association with the acquired time. Therefore, the configuration of the external environment information measuring unit 72 specifically includes a calendar and a clock for knowing the date and time and season, and the surroundings, and a thermometer, barometer, weather information, and traffic jam on the moving course. Status information, exhaust gas meter, altimeter, etc. The external environment information is not limited to this information, and may be other parameters as long as the environment information other than the user in the course where the user runs can be detected.

[Target lap time dynamic change processing]
Next, the target lap time dynamic change process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The pacemaker operation process, the course setting process, the target lap time generation process, and the notification process are the same as those in the intelligent pacemaker 11 in FIG. The target lap time dynamic change process is a background process in an environment in which the notification process is executed, among the pacemaker operation processes. Therefore, it is assumed that the target lap time generation process and the notification process are executed before the target lap time dynamic change process is performed. Therefore, it is assumed that the target lap time is stored in advance in the target lap time storage unit 46 by the target lap time generation process.

  In step S <b> 101, the dynamic change unit 91 determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed based on the time information supplied from the RTC 26. In step S101, for example, when a predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S102.

  In step S102, the user internal information acquisition unit 92 and the external environment information acquisition unit 94 each read time information read from the RTC and measure the current time.

  In step S <b> 103, the user internal information measurement unit 71 measures the user internal information and supplies it to the user internal information acquisition unit 92. The user internal information acquisition unit 92 acquires the user internal information supplied from the user internal information measurement unit 71.

  In step S <b> 104, the user internal information acquisition unit 92 stores the acquired user internal information in the user internal information storage unit 93 in association with the current time information.

  In step S <b> 105, the external environment information measurement unit 72 measures the external environment information and supplies it to the external environment information acquisition unit 94. The external environment information acquisition unit 94 acquires the external environment information supplied from the external environment information measurement unit 72.

  In step S106, the external environment information acquisition unit 94 stores the acquired external environment information in the external environment information storage unit 95 in association with the current time.

  In step S <b> 107, the dynamic change unit 91 reads the target lap time stored in the target lap time storage unit 46.

  In step S <b> 108, the dynamic change unit 91 reads the measured lap time stored in the lap time measurement result storage unit 48.

  In step S109, the dynamic changing unit 91 compares the read target lap time with the measured lap time, and determines whether or not the measured lap time is continuously delayed for a predetermined time or more with respect to the target lap time. For example, when it is determined in step S109 that the delay is not continuously delayed for a predetermined time or more with respect to the target lap time, the process proceeds to step S110.

  In step S110, the dynamic change unit 91 compares the read target lap time with the measured lap time, and determines whether or not the measured lap time continues to advance continuously over a predetermined time with respect to the target lap time. In step S110, for example, if it is determined that the process continues to proceed for a predetermined time or more with respect to the target lap time, the process proceeds to step S111.

  In step S111, the dynamic change unit 91 determines whether the physical condition is poor or the body is overloaded based on the internal user information. In step S111, for example, in a poor physical condition or an overload state where the body temperature in the user internal information exceeds the temperature determined to be abnormal or the pulse rate exceeds the pulse rate determined to be abnormal If not, the process proceeds to step S112.

  In step S112, the dynamic change unit 91 sets a faster target lap time with respect to the target lap time before the change based on the user internal information and the external environment information. In other words, it is not a bad physical condition or a state of physical overload, but continuing to the target lap time means that the running ability of the runner who has the target lap time is improved by continuing running. Is considered to be a light load. Therefore, the dynamic change unit 91 can gradually increase the level of the runner who is the user by resetting the target lap time to a higher level.

  In addition, when the dynamic change unit 91 sets the target lap time quickly, in the user internal information, if the state is close to poor physical condition or overload, the dynamic change unit 91 is closer to 1 than the current target lap time, but is less than 1. A slightly higher speed may be set by multiplying a slightly larger value coefficient. On the other hand, if it is determined that the degree of physical load is light and there is room based on the internal information of the user, the dynamic change unit 91 is more than 1 for the current target lap time. You may make it set quickly by multiplying by a small coefficient. Further, in the external environment information, for example, when there is a great weather collapse or when there is a lot of left and right movement during traveling by the acceleration sensor 29, there are many things to avoid such as a lot of people passing by, and the environment is not sufficient Alternatively, the coefficient having a value larger than 1 but close to 1 may be set slightly faster by performing the above-described operation.

  In step S113, the dynamic change unit 91 presents the newly generated target lap time on the display unit 27, and displays an image for inquiring whether or not to recommend the change and update to the new target lap time. To do. At this time, an announcement such as “a new recommended target lap time has been generated” may be output by voice.

  In step S114, the dynamic change unit 91 determines whether or not the user input unit 23 has been operated and the change to the recommended new target lap time is permitted. In step S114, for example, when it is determined that the user input unit 23 has been operated to change to the new target lap time, the process proceeds to step S115.

  In step S115, the dynamic change unit 91 updates and stores the new target lap time information in the target lap time storage unit 46.

  In step S116, the dynamic change unit 91 determines whether or not the end of the dynamic change process is instructed by operating the user input unit 23. If the end of the dynamic change process is not instructed, Returns to step S114.

  On the other hand, in step S114, for example, when the user input unit 23 is not operated and the change to the new target lap time is not permitted, the process proceeds to step S117.

  In step S117, the dynamic change unit 91 determines whether or not the user input unit 23 has been operated to request a change to a faster target lap time. In step S117, for example, when it is requested to change to a faster target lap time, the process returns to step S112. That is, the target lap time that is faster than the newly generated target lap time is set by the process of step S112.

  In step S117, for example, when it is not requested to change to a faster target lap time, the process proceeds to step S118.

  In step S118, the dynamic change unit 91 determines whether or not the user input unit 23 has been operated to request a change to a later target lap time. In step S118, for example, when it is not requested to change to a later target lap time, the process returns to step S116. That is, the processes in steps S114 to S118 are repeated until the end of the dynamic change process is instructed in step S116.

  Further, in step S118, it is considered that a request has been made to change to a target lap time that is later than the newly generated target lap time, or in step S109, the target lap time continues to be delayed by a predetermined time or more. If it is considered, the process proceeds to step S119.

  In step S119, the dynamic change unit 91 sets a later target lap time with respect to the target lap time before the change based on the user internal information and the external environment information. In other words, the fact that the target lap time continues to be delayed is considered that the current target lap time is a poor physical condition or a physical overload for the runner who is the user. 91 sets a slow target lap time by multiplying the current target lap time by a coefficient larger than one. By doing in this way, it becomes possible to maintain the motivation of the runner who is a user who is in poor physical condition or in an overloaded state.

  In addition, when setting the target lap time late, the dynamic changing unit 91 multiplies the current target lap time by a coefficient that is sufficiently larger than 1 if the user internal information is close to an overload. By doing so, you may make it set late. Conversely, if the degree of physical load is low and there is room, the dynamic change unit 91 sets the current target lap time by multiplying the current target lap time by a coefficient close to 1 You may make it do. Furthermore, in the external environment information, for example, when there is a great weather collapse or when there is a lot of left and right movement while traveling by the acceleration sensor 29, there are many passersby on the course, and there is a possibility that you must run while avoiding If it is considered that the environment is not high enough to run, it may be set slower by multiplying a coefficient larger than 1 according to the degree.

  Furthermore, when it is determined in step S110 that the target lap time has not been advanced rapidly for a predetermined time or more, in step S120, the dynamic change unit 91 determines the target lap time based on the user internal information and the external environment information. It is determined whether or not resetting is necessary.

  That is, for example, if the target lap time is not delayed or advanced, but is physically overloaded based on internal information, the target lap time is reset later However, the physical load is considered to be low. In addition, for example, when there is no delay or advance with respect to the target lap time and no physical condition is recognized from the internal information of the user, but it often moves to the left or right from the detection result of the acceleration sensor 29, There may be many passersby on the course, and even if the target lap time can be maintained, if it is dangerous to maintain this state and continue running, it is better to set the target lap time later It is thought that running can be continued safely.

  Also, if the target lap time is neither delayed nor advanced, it is not recognized that the physical condition is bad or overloaded from the internal information of the user, and furthermore, it is not recognized that the weather collapse or there are many passersby, Since the load is already considered to be low at the target lap time, it can be considered that the target lap lime may be reset earlier in such a case.

  If it is determined in step S120 that the current target lap time needs to be changed as described above, the process proceeds to step S121.

  In step S121, the dynamic change unit 91 determines whether or not the target lap time should be set faster. In step S121, as described above, when the target lap time is considered to have a low load on the runner who is the user, the process proceeds to step S112, and a faster target lap time is generated.

  On the other hand, in step S121, as described above, in the target lap time, when the load is high for the runner who is the user and it is considered necessary to change to the target lap time later, the process is as follows. Proceeding to step S119, a slower target lap time is generated.

  In this way, a more serious body condition that may arise from continuing running without changing the target lap time due to poor physical condition, overload, and changes in weather and road conditions. It is possible to reduce damage to the vehicle and the occurrence of accidents. Moreover, since it becomes possible to reset the target lap time of the runner who is the user whose athletic ability has been improved, the physical ability can be further improved.

  Furthermore, when the predetermined time has not elapsed in step S101, the process proceeds to step S122.

  In step S122, the dynamic change unit 91 determines whether or not the target lap time dynamic change process is requested by operating the user input unit 23, and the target lap time dynamic change process is not requested. The process returns to step S101.

  On the other hand, when the user input unit 23 is operated in step S122 to request a dynamic change process of the target lap time, the process proceeds to step S123.

  In step S123, the dynamic change unit 91 reads the target lap time stored in the target lap time storage unit 46, displays the target lap time on the display unit 27, and the process proceeds to step S117.

  That is, whether the current target lap time displayed on the display unit 27 is changed to a faster target lap time or a slower target lap time by the processing of steps S117 and S118. And the corresponding changes are made.

  By such processing, it becomes possible to dynamically change the target lap time according to the user internal information, the external environment information, and the request of the runner who is the user. As a result, it is possible to reduce damage to the body due to poor physical condition or overload. It also becomes possible to continue running safely according to traffic conditions. Furthermore, it is possible to acquire higher athletic ability by reading the improvement in athletic ability and increasing the target lap time as necessary.

<3. Third Embodiment>
[Third embodiment of intelligent pacemaker]
In the above description, the intelligent pacemaker 11 that can be dynamically changed based on the internal user information and the external environment information after generating the target lap time has been described. However, at the stage of generating the target lap time, the target lap time can be set based on the current internal user information and external environment information, as well as the previous internal user information, external environment information, and operation history. You may do it.

  FIG. 9 shows that at the stage of generating the target lap time, the target lap time can be set based on the internal user information and external environment information, and the past internal user information, external environment information, and operation history. The example of a structure of the intelligent pacemaker 11 made into this is shown. In addition, in the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. 9, about the structure provided with the same function as the structure of the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. 7, the same name and the same code | symbol are attached | subjected, The description is abbreviate | omitted suitably And

  That is, the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. 9 is different from the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. 7 in that it includes a target lap time generation unit 101 instead of the target lap time generation unit 45 and further includes an operation log storage unit 102. is there.

  The target lap time generation unit 101 has the same basic functions as the target lap time generation unit 45, but further includes an operation history that is an operation log of the user input unit 23 stored so far in the operation log storage unit 102. In addition, the target lap time is generated based on the user internal information and the external environment information.

  The operation log storage unit 102 stores, as an operation history, which operation the user input unit 23 has performed in which procedure. If necessary, information on the operation log remaining as the operation history is stored. The target lap time generation unit 101 is supplied.

[Target lap time generation processing]
Next, the target lap time generation process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The pacemaker operation process, the course setting process, the target lap time dynamic change process, and the notification process are the same as those in the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. Further, the processing in steps S154 through S161 in FIG. 10 is the same as the processing in steps S61 through S68 in the target lap time generation processing described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

  That is, in step S151, the target lap time generation unit 101 recommends the dynamic course process among the set course information stored in the course storage unit 42 and the operation log stored in the operation log storage unit 102. Read the number of times that was accepted. The target lap time generation unit 101 also acquires the current user internal information acquired by the user internal information acquisition unit 92 and the current external environment information acquired by the external environment information acquisition unit 94. . Further, the target lap time generation unit 101 stores the acquired course information, the number of times the recommendation by the dynamic change process has been accepted, the user internal information, the external environment information, and the past information thereof as the course storage unit 42, The information is read from the target information storage unit 93, the external environment information storage unit 95, and the operation log storage unit 102.

  In step S152, the target lap time generation unit 101, based on the acquired course information, the number of times the recommendation by the dynamic change process has been accepted, the user internal information, the external environment information, and these past information, A correlation y that is a coefficient by which the predetermined coefficient x is multiplied is calculated.

  In step S153, the target lap time generation unit 101 corrects the predetermined coefficient x with the correlation y. More specifically, the target lap time generation unit 101 corrects the predetermined coefficient x to a coefficient x × y.

  That is, the correlation y is obtained by multiplying, for example, a coefficient corresponding to the frequency for each piece of information. For example, when the body temperature is a1 degree in the internal information of the user and the humidity is b1% in the external environment information, the lap time is changed to about 1.5 times by the target lap time dynamic change process with respect to the initial target lap time. Suppose there is a tendency to be. In addition, when the body temperature is a2 degrees in the user internal information and the humidity is b2% in the external environment information, the lap time is changed by about 1.6 times by the target lap time dynamic change process with respect to the initial target lap time. Suppose there is a tendency to be. Furthermore, when the body temperature is a3 degrees in the internal information of the user and the humidity is b3% in the external environment information, the lap time is changed to about 1.7 times by the target lap time dynamic change processing with respect to the initial target lap time. Suppose there is a tendency to be.

  From such a tendency, when the body temperature of the actually acquired user internal information is a2 degrees and the humidity is b2%, the target lap time generation unit 101 sets the correlation y to 1.7. In this way, in a similar environment in advance, the target lap time is expected to be 1.7 times the predetermined coefficient x that is initially assumed. It is possible to correct to an expected coefficient.

  Further, the target lap time generation unit 101 calculates the correlation y for correcting the coefficient x by statistically determining how many times the predetermined coefficient x is obtained from the past measured lap time according to the weather. You may make it do.

  Further, the correlation y for correcting the coefficient x in advance for each weather may be set like a table. That is, by considering that the load on the cloudy day is the smallest due to the weather, for example, the correlation y on a cloudy day is 1.00, the correlation y on a sunny day is 1.05, and the correlation y on a rainy day is 1. 10. The snowy day correlation y may be set to 1.50.

  In addition, the target lap time generation unit 101 predicts the congestion situation from the time when the running is started and the course, and in the morning or evening rush hour and the course has many commuters, the correlation y is calculated. It may be set to 1.20 or 1.00 in the case of midnight.

  Furthermore, in the case where correlation obtained by these multiple conditions is assumed, a target lap time considering various correlations is generated by using a value obtained by multiplying all the coefficients as the correlation y. It becomes possible.

  With the above process, it becomes possible to set a reasonable target lap time in advance, so that the target lap time dynamically changing process will not significantly change from the initially set target lap time while running, The runner who is the user can run using the actual target lap time from the beginning. As a result, there is no significant change in load from the beginning of training, and training can be continued in a stable state.

  Moreover, in the above, based on the past user internal information, external environment information, and operation log, the coefficient x is corrected using the statistically obtained correlation y. It can also be said that the coefficient x is corrected by learning using the user internal information, the external environment information, and the operation log. Accordingly, with respect to the correlation y, it is considered that the usage method of the user is learned according to the number of times of use. Therefore, with the above configuration, the accuracy of the correlation y increases as the number of times the user uses it. It becomes possible to generate a target lap time that is more appropriate for the user.

<4. Fourth Embodiment>
[Fourth embodiment of intelligent pacemaker]
In the above, at the stage where the target lap time is initially set, the correlation is obtained based on the present and past user internal information, external environment information, and operation log, and the coefficient x is corrected according to the correlation. Thus, an example in which an appropriate target lap time can be set has been described. However, even after the target lap time has been set, it is possible to obtain the correlation based on the current and past user internal information, the external environment information, and the operation log, and to set a correction coefficient corresponding to the correlation. The target lap time may be changed dynamically. In addition, the notification process may be changed by using this correlation.

  FIG. 11 shows the correlation between the current and past user internal information, external environment information, and operation log, and dynamically changes the target lap time by setting a correction coefficient according to the correlation. Further, a configuration example of the intelligent pacemaker 11 is shown in which the notification process is changed using the correlation.

  In the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. 11, configurations having the same functions as the configurations of the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. 9 are given the same names and the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted as appropriate. . That is, the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. 11 is different from the configuration of the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. 9 in that a correlation analysis unit 112 and a traffic point passage timing estimation unit 113 are newly provided, and further a notification information generation unit 50 and the dynamic change unit 91, a notification information generation unit 114 and a dynamic change unit 111 are provided.

  The correlation analysis unit 112 analyzes the correlation based on the current and past user internal information, the external environment information, and the operation log in the same manner as the method performed in the target lap time generation unit 101 described above, A correction coefficient z is generated from the obtained correlation y and supplied to the dynamic change unit 111. Further, the correlation analysis unit 112 is a method similar to the method performed in the target lap time generation unit 101 described above, and present and past user internal information, external environment information, operation logs, and the selected music piece. Based on the information, a song having a high correlation with the current state is searched.

  The basic function of the dynamic changing unit 111 is the same as that of the dynamic changing unit 91, but the target lap time is dynamically changed based on the correction coefficient z generated by the correlation analyzing unit 112.

  Of the past lap times stored in the lap time measurement result storage unit 48, the traffic point passage timing estimation unit 113 calculates, for example, a signal waiting time or a signal change timing from a lap time between traffic signals, and waits for a signal. The time when it is necessary to pass through the next traffic signal that becomes the minimum time is estimated, and the estimation result is supplied to the notification information generation unit 114.

  More specifically, for example, there are two registration points, and there is one traffic signal between them, and a sufficient number of past lap times between two registration points, and two registration points corresponding to each lap time. Assume that the passing time of traffic signals between them is required. At this time, first, the traffic point passage timing estimation unit 113 calculates a signal waiting time by obtaining a difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the lap time between two past registration points a sufficient number of times. Next, the traffic point passage timing estimation unit 113 selects and selects past lap times within an error range α that are sufficiently small in difference from the maximum value of the lap time between two past registration points a sufficient number of times. An average passage time of the traffic signal corresponding to the lap time is obtained as an estimated time when the traffic signal changes to blue. In other words, the maximum value of the lap time between two registration points includes the signal waiting time from the timing when the traffic signal existing between the two registration points has just turned red to the timing when it next turns blue. It is thought that there is. For this reason, it is considered that the traffic signal passing time corresponding to the maximum lap time is the timing when the traffic signal has just changed from red to blue. Therefore, the traffic point passage timing estimation unit 113 sets the time just before the signal waiting time from the estimated time when the traffic signal estimated in this way changes to blue, the estimated time when the traffic signal changes to red, that is, It is calculated as the time to pass the traffic signal before the time.

  The notification information generation unit 114 is basically the same as the traffic information generation unit 50, but further generates notification information based on the estimation result supplied from the traffic point passage timing estimation unit 113, and generates a voice. The output unit 28 outputs the sound from the headphones 31 as sound. That is, for example, the notification information generation unit 114 compares the time when the next traffic signal should pass to minimize the waiting time due to the traffic signal with the expected passing time based on the current measured lap time, If the time is not likely to be in time, the music to be increased is output, or the rhythm and tempo of the music currently being played are increased to notify the user to encourage faster running. Conversely, the notification information generation unit 114 compares the time to pass the next traffic signal to minimize the waiting time due to the traffic signal with the expected passage time based on the current measurement lap time, and the expected passage time. Then, if it is too early and a waiting time is generated, a song that should be slowed down is output, or the rhythm and tempo of the song that is currently being played are slowed down and a notification is given to encourage a slower run. Further, the notification information generation unit 114 causes the audio output unit 28 to output, as audio, the music information having a high correlation with the current state supplied from the correlation analysis unit 112.

[Target lap time dynamic change processing]
Next, the target lap time dynamic change process by the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. 11 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The pacemaker operation process, the course setting process, the target lap time generation process, and the notification process are the same as those in the intelligent pacemaker 11 in FIG. 12 are the same as the processes of steps S101 to S108, S113 to S119, S112, S122, and S123 in the flowchart of FIG. 8, and thus the description thereof is omitted. It shall be.

  That is, when a predetermined time has elapsed and the user internal information and the external environment information are acquired and stored respectively by the processing of steps S181 to S188, the measured lap time is read out, The process proceeds to S189.

  In step S189, the correlation analysis unit 112 executes a target lap time correction coefficient calculation process to calculate the correction coefficient z.

[Target lap time correction coefficient calculation processing]
Here, the target lap time correction coefficient calculation processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the flowchart of FIG. 13, the processing in steps S211 and S212 is the same as the processing in steps S151 and S152 described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

  That is, as described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 10, the correlation y is obtained by the processing in steps S211 and S212.

  In step S213, the correlation analysis unit 112 calculates a correction coefficient z based on the obtained correlation y. More specifically, the correlation analysis unit 112 multiplies the correlation y by a coefficient to obtain a correction coefficient z. Here, the coefficient to be multiplied with the correlation y may be 1, and the correlation y may be substantially used as the correction coefficient z as it is.

  Through the above processing, a correction coefficient, which is a coefficient to be multiplied with the target lap time, can be obtained by learning based on current and past user internal information, external environment information, and operation logs.

  Now, the description returns to the flowchart of FIG.

  When the correction coefficient z is obtained by the processing in step S189, in step S190, the dynamic change unit 111 needs to dynamically change the target lap time because the difference absolute value between the correction coefficient z and 1 is larger than a predetermined value. It is determined whether or not there is. That is, when the absolute value of the difference between the correlation y and 1 obtained by learning based on the current and past user internal information, external environment information, and operation log, that is, the learning is increased, inevitably The absolute difference between z and 1 also increases. For this reason, it is considered that dynamic change of the target lap time is necessary. Therefore, in step S190, when it is determined that the correction coefficient z is larger than the predetermined value and the target lap time needs to be changed, the process proceeds to step S191.

  In step S191, the dynamic change unit 111 newly generates a target lap time by reading the target lap time data stored in the target lap time storage unit 46 and multiplying by the correction coefficient z.

  With the above processing, the target lap time can be dynamically changed by the correction coefficient z obtained by learning based on the current and past user internal information, the external environment information, and the operation log. . For this reason, the runner who is the user can start statistical training based on past information even if there is a change in the user's internal information related to physical condition or external environmental information such as the weather. Since the target lap time is dynamically changed by the correction coefficient z obtained by the above, training can be continued with an appropriate target lap time.

[Notification processing]
Next, the notification process by the intelligent pacemaker 11 of FIG. 11 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Note that the processing of steps S231 to S240 and S245 to S248 in the flowchart of FIG. 11 is the same as the processing of steps S81 to S90 and S93 to S96 in the flowchart of FIG.

  That is, when music is selected by the processing of steps S231 to S234 and reproduction of the music is started, in steps S235 to SS240, the time is measured and the lap time is measured when the current position is a registered point on the course. It is measured and the target lap time is read out.

  In step S241, the traffic point passage timing estimation unit 113 should next pass in order to pass a plurality of traffic signals, which are traffic points near the registered point where the passage is detected, with a minimum waiting time. The required speed is calculated from the distance to the traffic signal and the time to pass. That is, since the lap time measurement result storage unit 48 also includes information on the measured time in the past measurement lap time, the traffic point passage timing estimation unit 113 statistically determines the signal waiting time from the information. The minimum timing is calculated.

  In step S242, the correlation analysis unit 112 obtains a highly correlated music based on the user internal information, the external environment information, and the operation log. That is, for example, when the correlation analysis unit 112 is running in a place where there is a gradient from the altitude (altitude) or the like that is the internal environment information and the pulse rate p (beat) that is the internal information of the user , The fact that the correlation for selecting the music at t1 is high is analyzed. Also, when the body temperature of the user internal information is s (degrees) and the weather, which is the external environment information, is sunny, there is a high correlation for selecting the t2 music from the operation log, or the user internal information When the amount of sweating is q (cc) and the weather, which is the external environment information, is raining, a correlation such as a high correlation for selecting the music at t3 is calculated in advance, and the current conditions Select a song that is highly correlated.

  In step S243, the notification information generation unit 114 has the measured lap time delayed by a predetermined time or more with respect to the target lap time, or the current speed is slower than the speed necessary for passing the traffic point by the predetermined time. It is determined whether or not. In step S243, for example, when the measured lap time is not delayed by a predetermined time or more with respect to the target lap time and the current speed is not slower than the speed necessary for passing the traffic point by the predetermined time, Advances to step S244.

  In step S244, the notification information generation unit 114 determines that the measured lap time has advanced by a predetermined time or more with respect to the target lap time, or the current speed is faster than the speed necessary for passing the traffic point by the predetermined time. It is determined whether or not. In step S244, for example, when the measured lap time has not advanced by more than a predetermined time with respect to the target lap time and the current speed is not faster than the speed required to pass the traffic point by the predetermined time, Advances to step S249.

  In step S249, the notification information generation unit 114 determines whether or not the correlation analysis unit 112 has detected a song having a high correlation with the current condition. If a highly correlated music piece is detected in step S249, the process proceeds to step S250.

  In step S250, the notification information generation unit 50 accesses the music data storage unit 25, reads out the data of the music with high correlation among the stored music, supplies it to the audio output unit 28, and plays the music. Switch. The audio output unit 28 outputs the audio of the music from the headphones 31 based on the supplied music data.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S249 that there is no highly correlated music, the process proceeds to step S245.

  In step S245, the notification information generation unit 114 accesses the music data storage unit 25, reads out music data indicating that the music is running at an appropriate speed from the stored music, and sends the data to the audio output unit 28 in advance. Supply only the time, and then supply the original music data. The audio output unit 28 outputs the audio of the music from the headphones 31 based on the supplied music data.

  On the other hand, in step S244, for example, when the measured lap time has advanced by a predetermined time or more with respect to the target lap time, or when the current speed is faster than the speed required to pass the traffic point by the predetermined time, processing is performed. Advances to step S246.

  In step S246, the notification information generation unit 114 accesses the music data storage unit 25, reads out music data indicating that the music is running at a higher speed than the target lap time among the stored music, and performs voice processing. The output unit 28 is supplied for a predetermined time, and then the original music data is supplied. The audio output unit 28 outputs the audio of the music from the headphones 31 based on the supplied music data.

  Furthermore, in step S243, for example, when the measured lap time is delayed by a predetermined time or more with respect to the target lap time, or when the current speed is slower than the speed required to pass the traffic point by the predetermined time, processing is performed. Advances to step S246.

  In step S246, the notification information generation unit 114 accesses the music data storage unit 25, reads out the music data indicating that the music is running at a slower speed than the target lap time among the stored music, and outputs the audio. The output unit 28 is supplied for a predetermined time, and then the original music data is supplied. The audio output unit 28 outputs the audio of the music from the headphones 31 based on the supplied music data.

  That is, by the above processing, based on the user internal information, the external environment information, and the operation log information, the music having a high correlation with the condition specified by each information is searched and reproduced. Therefore, it becomes possible to reproduce the music reflecting the intention of the runner who is the user. In addition, the runner's running speed can be presented as a pace according to the timing at which the traffic signal, which is a traffic point, should be passed so that the signal waiting time is minimized. It is possible to continue running with a minimum waiting time without being aware of the timing.

  In the above, an example has been described in which a song having a high correlation with the current state is selected by learning based on the current and past user internal information, external environment information, and operation log information. A course with high correlation may be selected by the same method and recommended in course setting.

  In the above, when dynamically changing the target lap time, the correction coefficient z is obtained, or when setting the target lap time, the correlation y is obtained and multiplied by the predetermined coefficient x set by default, Furthermore, although the example of changing by multiplying the target lap time has been described, for example, the target lap time itself may be changed. In other words, when it is necessary to increase the target lap time so that the vehicle can run slowly, the target runner that is substantially multiplied by the correction coefficient z and the correlation y without changing the predetermined coefficient. A lap time may be recommended. Also, if the target lap time is a world record, this is changed to a Japanese record and presented on the display unit 27 in the form of “the target lap time has been changed from a world record to a Japanese record”. Anyway. In this way, it is possible to easily understand how the target lap time has changed specifically as a sensation, not as a numerical value.

  Furthermore, in the above, an intelligent pacemaker used for running competitions such as marathon has been described as an example, but it may be used for other sports, for example, training such as sprinting, swimming, It may be used for cross-country skiing, mountain climbing, racewalking, and cycling.

  Also, in the above, examples have been described in which music is played from headphones as a way of presenting the pace to the runner who is the user, and the music to be played is changed, or the tempo, rhythm, or volume of the music is changed. However, other methods may be used as long as the state can be presented. For example, you may make it output a sound like a beating instead of a music. Moreover, it may be other than voice, and for example, it may be presented with something that can be felt by the human body by changing the tightening pressure of a band or shoelace, or by temperature, electrical stimulation or vibration. Further, it may be presented by a light emission rhythm or light emission intensity by a strobe light emitter.

  Furthermore, in the above, the traffic volume of a passerby or the like existing on the course is detected by the acceleration sensor 29 based on how much the runner who is the user is changing the position from side to side (while wobbling). However, other methods may be used as long as the amount of traffic by the passerby is known. For example, the external environment information may be measured by an infrared sensor or the like. In addition, as an indicator of traffic volume, for example, traffic congestion information may be used, and surrounding noise is detected by a microphone or the like, and the congestion state is grasped as the traffic volume of the passerby from the detected noise. You may do it.

  With the above process, when you are longing for a famous marathon runner or acquaintance runner and want to run, you can present your pace in consideration of the relative relationship with the runner you are longing for, and your physical condition. It is possible to present the pace in consideration of the internal conditions such as the external environment such as congestion and the weather, so that it is possible to run while maintaining the physical condition and maintaining the willingness to run.

  By the way, the series of processes described above can be executed by hardware, but can also be executed by software. When a series of processing is executed by software, a program constituting the software may execute various functions by installing a computer incorporated in dedicated hardware or various programs. For example, it is installed from a recording medium in a general-purpose personal computer or the like.
