Abstract

A fatigue monitoring device for e-sport training includes a monitoring device, a processing control device, and a verification device. The monitoring device is used to monitor the changes in at least one physiological data of the user operating the esports console. The processing control device determines whether the user has entered a suspected fatigue state based on the changes in physiological data, thereby correspondingly generating a verification command. The verification device generates an interactive verification message on the esports console based on the verification command from the processing control device. If the user fails to respond to the interactive verification message within a preset time, the processing control device determines that the user has entered a confirmed fatigue state and immediately suspends the operation of the esports console.

Description

E-sports training fatigue monitoring device

The present invention relates to a monitoring device, and more particularly to an e-sports training fatigue monitoring device.

An e-sports team training session lasts about 30 minutes to an hour. It is important to set a training schedule so that the team members can train in a good mental state. If the mental state is not good, they should stop training to avoid over-training, which is not only ineffective but may also cause sports injuries.

Taiwan Patent Application No. 110131602 discloses a head-mounted display system, including a head-mounted display unit having a display; a battery pack for powering the head-mounted display system; and a positioning and stabilizing structure for holding the head-mounted display unit in front of the user's eyes so that the display can be viewed by the user, and for holding the battery pack behind the user's head. The positioning and stabilizing structure includes a rear support portion for engaging the rear of the user's head, the rear support portion including a parietal strap portion for covering the parietal bone of the user's head in use and an occipital strap portion for covering the occipital bone of the user's head or located below the occipital bone in use. The positioning and stabilizing structure also includes a pair of side straps connected between the rear support and the head-mounted display unit, and each side strap is located on the corresponding side of the user's head during use.

However, the monitoring device provided in Taiwan Patent Application No. 110131602 does not have a verification mechanism, so it is easy to cause misjudgment and even if it is misjudged, there is no way to know. Although there are fatigue monitoring devices on the market, they can only monitor whether the user is tired in a one-way manner and remind the user in a one-way manner, and there is no way to verify whether the monitoring results are correct. Moreover, users can usually only passively choose to turn off the reminder or let it continue to remind the wrong person, so the existing fatigue monitoring devices have poor results.

In view of this, one object of the present invention is to provide an e-sports training fatigue monitoring device to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art.

To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention proposes an e-sports training fatigue monitoring device, comprising: a monitoring device for monitoring a change in at least one physiological data of a user who is operating an e-sports machine; a processing control device for judging whether the user has entered a suspected fatigue state according to the change in the physiological data monitored by the monitoring device, thereby generating a verification instruction accordingly; and a verification control device for determining whether the user has entered a suspected fatigue state according to the change in the physiological data monitored by the monitoring device, thereby generating a verification instruction accordingly; and a verification control device for determining whether the user has entered a suspected fatigue state according to the change in the physiological data monitored by the monitoring device, and generating a verification instruction accordingly. The processing control device is used to generate an interactive verification message on the e-sports machine according to the verification instruction of the processing control device. If the user fails to respond to the interactive verification message within a preset time, the processing control device determines that the user has entered a confirmed fatigue state, and the processing control device immediately interrupts the operation of the e-sports machine to prevent the user operating the e-sports machine from incurring sports injuries.

In the e-sports training fatigue monitoring device as described in claim 1, if the variation of the physiological data of the user approaches a stable state for a period of time, it is determined that the user has entered the suspected fatigue state.

If the variation of the physiological data of the user continues to be stable for a period of time, it is determined that the user has entered the suspected fatigue state.

In the process of the user operating the e-sports machine, the length of the period of time is proportional to the length of the user operating the e-sports machine.

In the process of the user operating the e-sports machine, the duration of the period of time is fixed.

The monitoring device is selected from a group consisting of a brain wave monitor, a heart rate monitor and an eye monitor to monitor the variation of the physiological data of the user.

The interactive verification message is selected from a group consisting of a static image, a dynamic image and a voice message.

The verification device further has a response button disposed on the gaming machine. If the user fails to press the response button within the preset time, the processing control device determines that the user has entered the fatigue confirmation state.

In the process of the user operating the e-sports machine, the duration of the preset time is inversely proportional to the duration of the user operating the e-sports machine.

In the process of the user operating the gaming machine, the duration of the preset time changes irregularly.

As mentioned above, the e-sports training fatigue monitoring device according to the present invention has the following advantages:

(1) It has a monitoring mechanism, a verification mechanism, and a termination mechanism, which can first monitor the change in physiological data, then verify whether the monitoring result is correct, and then interrupt the operation of the e-sports machine. In other words, the present invention can prevent users (e-sports players) from overtraining and causing sports injuries.

(2) The longer the user's operation of the e-sports machine lasts (the time elapsed), the more physiological data values the processing control device of the present invention can use to determine whether the user has entered a suspected fatigue state, rather than using a fixed number of physiological data values, thereby improving accuracy.

(3) The verification device can generate an interactive verification message on the e-sports machine. If the user fails to respond to the interactive verification message within a preset time, the processing control device determines that the user has entered a confirmation fatigue state.

(4) The above-mentioned preset time adopts a non-fixed duration, so it can effectively maintain the accuracy of the verification mechanism of the verification device and avoid erroneous verification results caused by users pressing the response button out of habit or reflex.

Please refer to FIG. 1, which is an operation block diagram of the e-sports training fatigue monitoring device of the present invention. The e-sports training fatigue monitoring device 10 of the present invention includes a monitoring device 20, a processing control device 30, and a verification device 40. The monitoring device 20 is selected from the group consisting of a brain wave monitor, a heart rate monitor, and an eye monitor. The monitoring device 20 is used to monitor a change in at least one physiological data 210 of a user 200 who is operating an e-sports machine 100. The processing control device 30 determines whether the user 200 has entered a suspected fatigue state based on the variation of the physiological data 210 monitored by the monitoring device 20, thereby generating a verification instruction accordingly. In other words, when the processing control device 30 receives the physiological data 210 and determines that the user 200 has entered a suspected fatigue state, the processing control device 30 will generate a verification instruction accordingly. Among them, if the variation of the physiological data 210 of the user 200 approaches or presents a stable state for a period of time, the processing control device 30 determines that the user 200 has entered a suspected fatigue state. The length of the aforementioned "period of time" may be fixed, for example, meaning that no matter how long the user 200 continues to operate the e-sports machine 100, the length of the aforementioned "period of time" is a fixed value. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the length of the aforementioned "period of time" may also be proportional to the length of time the user 200 continues to operate the e-sports machine 100.

In addition, in order to improve the shortcomings and blind spots of traditional monitoring technology, the present invention provides that the length of the aforementioned "period of time" is proportional to the duration of the user 200 operating the e-sports machine 100 during the continuous process of the user 200 operating the e-sports machine 100. That is, if the duration (elapsed time) of the user 200 operating the e-sports machine 100 is longer, the length of the aforementioned "period of time" will also be correspondingly longer. In other words, if the duration (time) of the user 200 operating the e-sports machine 100 is longer, the processing control device 30 of the present invention can judge whether the user 200 has entered a suspected fatigue state based on more values of the physiological data 210, rather than using a fixed number of values of the physiological data 210, thereby improving accuracy.

The feature of the present invention is that the e-sports training fatigue monitoring device 10 has a verification device 40. The verification device 40 generates an interactive verification message 44 on the e-sports machine 100 according to the verification instruction of the processing control device 30. If the user 200 fails to respond to the interactive verification message 44 within a preset time, the processing control device 30 determines that the user 200 has entered a confirmed fatigue state, and the processing control device 30 immediately interrupts the operation of the e-sports machine 100 to prevent the user 200 operating the e-sports machine 100 from incurring sports injuries. The interactive verification message 44 is selected from a group consisting of static images, dynamic images and voice messages. The verification device 40 further has a response button 42 disposed on the gaming machine 100. If the user 200 fails to press the response button 42 within a preset time, the processing control device 30 determines that the user 200 has entered a confirmed fatigue state. In other words, the static image, dynamic image and voice message of the interactive verification message 44 may, for example, instruct the user 200 to press the response button 42 in a specific manner or a specific number of times, such as once or twice. If the user 200 fails to press the response button 42 in the correct specific manner or the correct specific number of times within the preset time, the processing control device 30 determines that the user 200 has entered a confirmed fatigue state, and the processing control device 30 immediately interrupts the operation of the e-sports machine 100 to prevent the user 200 operating the e-sports machine 100 from incurring sports injuries.

According to the e-sports training fatigue monitoring device 10 of the present invention, during the continuous process of the user 200 operating the e-sports machine 100, the duration of the above-mentioned "preset time" is, for example, inversely proportional to the duration of the continuous process of the user 200 operating the e-sports machine 100, or the duration of the preset time shows irregular changes. Since the above-mentioned "preset time" is a fixed time, in the long run, the user 200 will inertialy or reflexively press the response button 42 even when tired, thereby reducing the accuracy of the verification mechanism of the verification device 40. In other words, the feature of the present invention is that the use of a "preset time" of a non-fixed time can effectively maintain the accuracy of the verification mechanism of the verification device 40.

In summary, the e-sports training fatigue monitoring device of the present invention has the following advantages:

(1) It has a monitoring mechanism, a verification mechanism, and a termination mechanism, which can first monitor the change in physiological data, then verify whether the monitoring result is correct, and then interrupt the operation of the e-sports machine. In other words, the present invention can prevent users (e-sports players) from overtraining and causing sports injuries.

(2) The longer the user's operation of the e-sports machine lasts (the time elapsed), the more physiological data values the processing control device of the present invention can use to determine whether the user has entered a suspected fatigue state, rather than using a fixed number of physiological data values, thereby improving accuracy.

(3) The verification device can generate an interactive verification message on the e-sports machine. If the user fails to respond to the interactive verification message within a preset time, the processing control device determines that the user has entered a confirmation fatigue state.

(4) The above-mentioned preset time adopts a non-fixed duration, so it can effectively maintain the accuracy of the verification mechanism of the verification device and avoid erroneous verification results caused by users pressing the response button out of habit or reflex.

The above description is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be limiting. Any equivalent modifications or changes made to the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention shall be included in the scope of the attached patent application.
