This method is useful for analyzing and evaluating possible malfunctions of systems. The method is not suitable for analyzing interpersonal relationships.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the invention is to provide a system for performing and supporting analyzes of relationships, especially interpersonal relationships.

To achieve the object, the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

A relationship analysis system for performing and supporting analysis of relationships, particularly interpersonal relationships and relationships and / or group relationships, includes an input device for inputting input signals and an output device. In typical embodiments, the output device is a display, a light signal, a sound signal and / or a position indicator. Advantageously, thereby the relationships between a participant to different caregivers can be analyzed relatively standardized.

Preferably, the relationship analysis system comprises an evaluation unit for evaluating the input signals.

The relationship analysis system is preferably designed as an electronic measuring device for relationship parameters, wherein at least two parameters, more preferably at least three parameters, are mechanically transmitted to the relationship analysis system by input. The parameters are perceived by a subject separately. The input is preferably by keyboard or knob, with the parameters linked to determine an intensity or risk of a relationship. An output of these results is preferably via a screen or mechanical displays. The relationship analysis system has the advantage that an electronic device is used to determine relationship parameters. All previously known methods work with human observers or questionnaires.

In typical embodiments, the relationship analysis system comprises a position sensor for reconstructing the analysis situation. This has the advantage that the positions of multiple input devices and multiple output devices can be determined in space to each other and included in the analysis.

Appropriately, the input device is suitable for reading a handwritten note. This results in the advantage that notes can be evaluated by the evaluation unit on which the participant notes requirements which he has for a reference person. Preferably, the participant formulates for each caregiver a plurality of requests made to him by one of the caregivers.

The head 8th of the input and / or output device 2.1 includes two extendable displays 11 and 12 and a button 13 , to start the analysis.

The middle part 9 includes another display 14 , the display 14 serves the user guidance. During the analysis, the display shows 14 the name of the person who is part of the relationship under investigation.

The middle part 9 includes a movable holder 15 , for taking notes. Furthermore, the middle part 9 a telescopic arm 17 with a camera 18 on. The middle part 9 includes as well a container 19 with six height-adjustable displays 20.1 to 20.6 ,

In preferred embodiments, the displays are dot matrix displays.

The container 19 has six knobs 21.1 to 21.6 , for adjusting the displays 20.1 to 20.6 in the vertical, up. Furthermore, the container has a knob 22 on. Each of the displays 20.1 to 20.6 includes a button 23.1 to 23.6 , About these buttons 23.1 to 23.6 The order of precedence can be ordered in order. In other analysis steps, the importance is set with the arrangement.

To perform and support an analysis of interpersonal relationships, the relationship analysis system is deployed as follows: Each of the participants' reference persons to whom the analysis is performed is through one of the input and / or output devices 2.1 to 2.6 shown. The input and / or output devices are personalized by selecting a shell and by entering the name of the caregiver. the display 14 of the middle section 9 of the corresponding input and / or output device displays the name of the relevant caregiver.

The position sensors 4.1 and 4.2 capture the positioning of the individual input and / or output devices to each other in the room.

The participant formulates requirements for the caregivers. In a first pass, requests that are themselves made by the subscriber to caregivers are formulated. These requirements are handwritten on notes 16 noted and then on the movable holder 15 attached. The importance and the load or the degree of fulfillment of the requirement is assessed and optically marked so that the mark can be recognized by the camera and evaluated by the evaluation unit. With the camera 18 on the support arm 17 will be the requirements on the notes 16 read.

Depending on the information read, instructions for the participant are shown on the display 14 of the corresponding input and / or output device.

If the analysis is interrupted, the previous entries in the central evaluation unit 3 stored and later reconstructed. The positioning of the input and / or output devices 2.1 to 2.6 is then indicated by displays on the displays 14 the input and / or output devices 2.1 to 2.5 supported. This is through the position sensors 4.1 and 4.2 possible.

By pressing the button 13 starts the evaluation of the read requests depending on the importance. The result of the evaluation will be in the display 11 at the head 8th displayed. the display 11 is vertically adjustable. It is positioned at a height that corresponds to the result of the evaluation. As a result, the result value of the evaluation is visualized twice, once as a value on the display and once through the positioning of the display.

By pressing the button again 13 at the head 8th the requirements are evaluated depending on their load. The result of the evaluation will be on display 12 shown and the display 12 becomes analogous to the display 11 at a height corresponding to the result of the assessment.

In a further step, the importance of the requirements with the knobs 21.1 to 21.6 set. By pressing the button 13 becomes the result of the importance of the requirements on the displays 20.1 to 20.6 shown. Also the displays 20.1 to 20.6 drive to a height that corresponds to the result shown. As a result, the result is also visualized twice.

In place of the displays 20.1 to 20.6 In other embodiments, integrated displays are used, on which can be displayed the sizes mentioned.

About the knob 22 on the container 19 can be adjusted, whether on the displays 20.1 to 20.6 the relationship intensity or relationship risk should be displayed. The relationship intensity is the representation of the evaluation depending on the importance of the requirements and the relationship risk is the presentation of the evaluation as a function of the load or the degree of fulfillment of the requirement.

In a further step are over a plurality of further buttons 25.1 to 25.6 on the displays 20.1 to 20.6 the order of requirements is set.

All o. G. Steps are also performed in a second pass for requests made to the subscriber by his caregivers. Instead of the burden, the perceived degree of fulfillment is assessed or queried.

In the context of a method according to the invention, at least some of the following steps are preferably carried out. The steps are preferably carried out for several persons, whereby the relationships of these persons with each other are examined.

First, a person is asked about requirements that other people place on the person, depending on the perspective of the person himself. Subsequently, it is preferably queried whether it is a mandatory requirement, a target requirement or an optional requirement. For example, if a mandatory requirement is violated, legally justifiable consequences ensue if the mandatory requirement is not met. For example, injured people may have social consequences. The optional requirements lead to the sympathy of others, but there are no negative consequences if these requirements are violated.

In a next step, requests are requested to at least one other person or persons. Again, it depends on the subjective view of the person, which is queried. In addition, a classification into mandatory requirement, nominal requirement and optional requirement is also queried, in which order the numbers 3 to 1 are given in descending order. In this way, subjective experiences are numerically recorded, so that they are technically processable.

In a further step, a burden is queried which the person feels as a result of the request. Preferably, the following perceived loads are given as possible answers: heavy load, medium load, weak load and no load, in which order the numbers 3 to 0 are given in descending order.

In a next step, it is queried how the other persons or the other person fulfill the requirements of the person himself. This perceived degree of fulfillment is interrogated with three predefined answers, namely "low or not at all", "medium", "high" or "fully and completely", in which order the numbers 3 to 0 are given in descending order.

In a next step, it is preferably queried how important the importance of individual requirements is, in which case the measures 5 to 1 are preferably assigned in the following order: 5: very high importance, 4: high importance, 3: average importance, 2: low Importance and 1: very low importance.

Likewise, the demands on the other person or other persons for the relationship to these persons or to that person are ranked according to their importance, again assigning the importance values described above.

Preferably, a relationship relevance number is calculated from the values queried above. The relationship relevance number is calculated as the sum of the requirement type and the burden, then multiplied by the importance of the relationship. In the case of requests to other persons or to the other person, the relational relevance number is calculated from the sum of the requirement type and the perceived degree of fulfillment, then multiplied by the importance for the relationship. First, the sum is formed and then the multiplication is carried out.

The requirements are then preferably sorted on the basis of the relationship relevance number and preferably output on the evaluation unit or the server computer. In this way, it is recognized which requirements to the own person and to the other person or to the other persons, have a special relevance.

Subsequently, a risk priority number is determined, wherein the risk priority number is set equal to the relationship relevance number, if a request is perceived as a burden or if a request is perceived by another person as not fulfilled. If a request is not perceived as a burden or a charge to another person is considered met, the risk priority number is preferably set to zero. In this way, the requirements can be filtered out, which can actually become a risk.

Subsequently, a relationship intensity is calculated and preferably also output. It shows how intense a relationship between two people is. For this purpose, all relationship relevance figures from the point of view of the person being considered are summed up. In this way, when performing the multi-party process, conclusions can be drawn as to which relationships between each of the participants are particularly narrow or intense.

Preferably, then a relationship quality number is calculated, wherein the relationship quality number is determined from the difference between the relationship intensity and the total risk priority number. In this way it can be quickly recognized with a single indicator, which relations between which persons are particularly bad or good.

Preferably, the method steps are carried out with the device described above, wherein the queries are made for each person with the input and / or output devices and the evaluation or calculation and the output with the evaluation unit. Typically said method steps using a server computer as evaluation and with at least one client computer, which is designed as input and / or output device or as a portable computer carried out. In this case, the evaluation steps and calculation steps in the server computer are preferably carried out and the query steps in the client computer. In typical embodiments, the server computer is connected to a tablet PC so that information noted on sticky notes can be entered directly by handwriting. This may make sticky notes redundant. In further embodiments, the server computer is designed as a personal computer and the client computer as a microcontroller.

It is particularly preferred to carry out the method with several subscribers, with the method being carried out correspondingly for each individual subscriber. Particularly preferably, the method is carried out with multiple participants at all participants simultaneously, each participant gets one of the input and / or output devices described above. Instead of the input and / or output devices or in combination with it, portable computers can be used. Preferably, the portable computers are used as server computers. Preferably, the server computer or the input and / or output devices are wirelessly connected to the server computer. The server computer corresponds to the evaluation unit.

In particularly preferred embodiments, an analysis is carried out on the evaluation unit via the server computer, whereby particularly charged relationships with a particularly poor relationship quality figure, for example the five relationships with the five worst relationship quality numbers, are shown.
