ところで、スポーツの中には、その競技結果の良否が身体を動かす前の静止の態様に依存するものも少なくない。例えば、矢や銃弾で標的をどれだけ正確に射抜けたかを競う射撃競技においては、矢や弾を放つ運動よりもむしろ、その前の静止時の身体の使い方が競技結果の良否を大きく左右する。しかしながら、特許文献1〜4に開示された技術は、競技者や被験者が運動している間の評価を行うものとなっており、その運動を始める前までの静止時の身体の使い方を訓練したいという要望には十分に応えるものではなかった。
本発明は、このような背景の下に案出されたものであり、運動を始める前の静止時の身体の使い方の訓練を支援する仕組みを提供することを目的とする。
By the way, in many sports, the quality of the competition results depends on the state of stillness before moving the body. For example, in shooting competitions that compete for how accurately the target was shot with an arrow or bullet, the use of the body at rest before the movement that shoots the arrow or bullet greatly affects the quality of the competition result. . However, the techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4 perform evaluations while athletes and subjects are exercising, and want to train how to use the body at rest before starting the exercise. That was not enough.
The present invention has been devised under such a background, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mechanism that supports training of how to use the body at rest before starting exercise.

本発明の好適な態様である運動支援装置は、運動者の身体の一又は複数の部位のゆれを検出する検出手段と、前記検出手段が検出したゆれに応じて変化する報知音を発音する報知音提供手段とを備える。
この態様によると、運動者の身体の各部のゆれに応じて報知音が変化するため、運動者の身体の各部が完全に静止していること、または、完全な静止に近づきつつあることをその報知音の変化を通じて知らせることができる。運動者は、報知音の変化に注意を払いながら運動する訓練を重ねることにより、運動を始める前の静止の間の身体の良好な使い方を習得することができる。
An exercise support apparatus according to a preferred aspect of the present invention includes a detection unit that detects a shake of one or a plurality of parts of an exerciser's body, and a notification that generates a notification sound that changes according to the shake detected by the detection unit. Sound providing means.
According to this aspect, since the notification sound changes according to the shaking of each part of the exerciser's body, it is confirmed that each part of the exerciser's body is completely stationary or is approaching complete stationary. Notification can be made through a change in the notification sound. The exerciser can learn how to use the body during the rest before starting the exercise by repeating exercises while paying attention to the change of the notification sound.

以下、図面を参照し、この発明の実施の形態を説明する。
(第1実施形態)
本発明の第1実施形態について、説明する。本実施形態にかかる運動支援装置は、弓道の訓練を支援するものである。弓道においては、弓筈(ゆはず)と呼ばれる矢の端を弓の弦に掛けて手指により摘み、弓が十分に撓るまでその矢を標的と逆の方向へ引いてから放すことにより、矢が発射される。そして、矢を放つ時に身体の各部が完全に静止していないと、標的を外す可能性が高くなるとされている。
本実施形態にかかる運動支援装置は、弓道の訓練を行う運動者の身体の各部のゆれを示す報知音を発音し、各部に装着した加速度センサの検出値を基にそれらの報知音を変化させる。ここで、「報知音」とは、純音、複合音(周波数の異なる2つ以上の純音から構成された音、または、純音以外の音)、楽曲音、音声、効果音(波音や、拍手音、水滴音などの繰り返しを示す音)などを含む音である。
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
(First embodiment)
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described. The exercise support apparatus according to the present embodiment supports archery training. In archery, the end of the arrow, called the YUDO, is hung on the bow string and picked with your fingers, pulled in the opposite direction to the target until the bow is sufficiently bent, and then released. Is fired. And if each part of the body is not completely stationary when the arrow is released, the possibility of removing the target is high.
The exercise support apparatus according to the present embodiment generates a notification sound indicating the vibration of each part of the body of an exerciser who performs archery training, and changes the notification sound based on a detection value of an acceleration sensor attached to each part. . Here, “notification sound” means a pure tone, a composite tone (a sound composed of two or more pure tones with different frequencies, or a sound other than a pure tone), a music sound, a sound, a sound effect (a wave sound or a clap sound) , A sound indicating repetition such as a water drop sound).

図1は、本発明の第1実施形態にかかる運動支援装置10の構成とその装着の態様を示す図である。運動支援装置10は、加速度センサ11,12,13,14、ゆれ評価部15,16,17,18、音源19、報知音合成部20、およびスピーカ21を有する。加速度センサ11〜14は、運動者の身体の各部位に1つずつ装着される。図1に示す例では、運動者の右肩に加速度センサ11が、頭頂部に加速度センサ12が、左手首に加速度センサ13が、腹部に加速度センサ14がそれぞれ装着されている。以降は、加速度センサ11〜14が装着される身体の各部位を適宜「装着部位」と呼ぶ。   FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an exercise support apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention and a mode of wearing the apparatus. The exercise support apparatus 10 includes acceleration sensors 11, 12, 13, 14, shake evaluation units 15, 16, 17, 18, a sound source 19, a notification sound synthesis unit 20, and a speaker 21. One acceleration sensor 11-14 is attached to each part of the body of the exerciser. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the acceleration sensor 11 is mounted on the right shoulder of the athlete, the acceleration sensor 12 is mounted on the top of the head, the acceleration sensor 13 is mounted on the left wrist, and the acceleration sensor 14 is mounted on the abdomen. Hereinafter, each part of the body to which the acceleration sensors 11 to 14 are attached is appropriately referred to as “attachment part”.

加速度センサ11〜14は、装着部位の運動とその方向とを検出するためのセンサである。加速度センサ11〜14は、装着部位の僅かな運動をも検出し得るように、そのダイナミックレンジは十分に小さく、分解能は十分に細かいものであることが望ましい。この例において、加速度センサ11〜14は、3軸の加速度センサであり、x軸方向、y軸方向、およびz軸方向にそれぞれ加わる加速度をサンプリングしたサンプルa,a,aのデジタル信号を出力する。ここで、例えば、x軸方向の一方の側から加速度が加わった場合、その加速度のサンプルaの符号は正となり、逆の側から加速度が加わった場合、その加速度のサンプルaの符号は負となる。 The acceleration sensors 11 to 14 are sensors for detecting the movement of the wearing site and its direction. It is desirable that the acceleration sensors 11 to 14 have a sufficiently small dynamic range and a sufficiently fine resolution so that even a slight movement of the wearing site can be detected. In this example, the acceleration sensors 11 to 14 are triaxial acceleration sensors, and digital signals of samples a x , a y , and a z obtained by sampling acceleration applied to the x-axis direction, the y-axis direction, and the z-axis direction, respectively. Is output. Here, for example, when acceleration is applied from one side in the x-axis direction, the sign of the acceleration sample a x is positive, and when acceleration is applied from the opposite side, the sign of the acceleration sample a x is Become negative.

ゆれ評価部15〜18は、加速度センサ11〜14から出力された加速度のサンプルa,a,aを積分した速度v,v,vを基にそれらの装着部位のゆれの周期を算出する第1の役割と、その速度v,v,vをさらに積分した位置p,p,pを基にゆれの振幅を算出する第2の役割とを有する。
第1の役割において、ゆれ評価部15は、運動者の右肩の加速度のサンプルa,a,aを各々積分して、右肩のx軸方向の速度v、y軸方向の速度v、z軸方向の速度vを各々求め、右肩の速度の絶対値|v|=√(v 2+v 2+v 2)を求める。そして、この右肩の速度の絶対値|v|が0〜α(αは十分に小さな正の値)の範囲内になる毎に(以下、便宜上この時刻を「速度零点」という)、前回の速度零点からの経過時間を求め、この経過時間の2倍を最新のゆれの周期とし、この周期を示す周期信号を出力する。同様に、ゆれ評価部16〜18は、運動者の頭頂部、左手首、腹部について、各々の加速度から各々のゆれの周期を求め、各々のゆれの周期を示す周期信号を各々出力する。
第2の役割において、ゆれ評価部15〜18は、第1の役割により速度零点を特定するたびに、その時刻における位置p,p,pと先行する速度零点における位置p,p,pとの距離の1/2をゆれの最新の振幅とし、その振幅を示す振幅信号を出力する。距離は、先行する速度零点における位置p,p,pと後続の速度零点における位置p,p,pとの各々の差を2乗し、それらの和の平方根をとることにより割り出す。
The shake evaluation units 15 to 18 are based on the speeds v x , v y , and v z obtained by integrating the acceleration samples a x , a y , and a z output from the acceleration sensors 11 to 14, and the fluctuations of those wearing parts are detected. It has a first role for calculating the period and a second role for calculating the amplitude of fluctuation based on the positions p x , p y and p z obtained by further integrating the velocities v x , v y and v z .
In the first role, the shake evaluation unit 15 integrates the acceleration samples a x , a y , and a z of the right shoulder of the athlete, respectively, and the velocity v x in the right shoulder direction, The velocity v y and the velocity v z in the z-axis direction are respectively obtained, and the absolute value | v | = √ (v x 2 + v y 2 + v z 2 ) of the right shoulder velocity is obtained. Every time the absolute value | v | of the velocity of the right shoulder falls within the range of 0 to α (α is a sufficiently small positive value) (hereinafter, this time is referred to as “speed zero” for convenience), The elapsed time from the speed zero is obtained, and the period of the latest fluctuation is set to twice this elapsed time, and a periodic signal indicating this period is output. Similarly, the shake evaluation units 16 to 18 obtain the period of each shake from the respective accelerations for the top, left wrist, and abdomen of the exerciser, and each output a periodic signal indicating the period of each shake.
In the second role, shaking evaluation unit 15 to 18, each time specifying the speed zero point by the first role, the position p x at that time, p y, the position of the speed zero and a preceding p z p x, p 1/2 of the distance between y and p z is set as the latest amplitude of the fluctuation, and an amplitude signal indicating the amplitude is output. The distance is the square of the sum of the squares of the differences between the positions p x , p y , p z at the preceding speed zero and the positions p x , p y , p z at the subsequent speed zero. Determine by.

音源19は、和音を構成する4種類の音波形データを記憶したメモリを有する。この音源19は、図示しない電源が投入されると、メモリに記憶された音波形データを読み出し、それらの音波形データが示す波形のオーディオ信号を出力する。そのような4つの音波形データのセットは、例えば、波音を収録してその音波形データの4つの複製を作り、ピッチシフタを用いてそれらの複製された音波形データの各々のピッチを個別に調整することにより取得するとよい。   The sound source 19 has a memory that stores four types of sound waveform data constituting chords. When a power source (not shown) is turned on, the sound source 19 reads out sound waveform data stored in the memory and outputs an audio signal having a waveform indicated by the sound waveform data. Such a set of four sound waveform data, for example, records a sound wave to make four copies of the sound waveform data and individually adjusts the pitch of each of the replicated sound waveform data using a pitch shifter. It is good to acquire by doing.

報知音合成部20は、音源19が発生したオーディオ信号の各々に信号処理を施すフィルタ22,23,24,25とアンプ26,27,28,29、およびそれらによる信号処理を経たオーディオ信号をミキシングして出力するミキサ30を有する。フィルタ22〜25とアンプ26〜29は、運動者に聴かせる報知音の距離感を制御するための回路である。具体的には、この報知音合成部20におけるフィルタ22〜25は、ゆれ評価部15〜18が出力する周期信号が示す周期が長いほど、自らを経由するオーディオ信号の高周波成分の減衰量を大きくする。また、報知音合成部20におけるアンプ26〜29は、ゆれ評価部15〜18が出力する振幅信号が示す振幅が小さいほど、自らを経由するオーディオ信号のゲインを小さくする。
スピーカ21は、ミキサ30によりミキシングされたオーディオ信号が示す報知音を放音する。
以上説明した各構成要素のうち、加速度センサ11〜14とゆれ評価部15〜18は、「運動者の身体の一又は複数の部位のゆれを検出する検出手段」を構成し、音源19、報知音合成部20、およびスピーカ21は、「検出したゆれに応じて変化する報知音を発音する報知音提供手段」を構成する。
The notification sound synthesizer 20 mixes the filters 22, 23, 24, and 25 for performing signal processing on each of the audio signals generated by the sound source 19, the amplifiers 26, 27, 28, and 29, and the audio signal that has undergone signal processing by them. And a mixer 30 for output. The filters 22 to 25 and the amplifiers 26 to 29 are circuits for controlling the sense of distance of the notification sound to be heard by the athlete. Specifically, the filters 22 to 25 in the notification sound synthesizer 20 increase the attenuation amount of the high-frequency component of the audio signal passing through the filters 22 to 25 as the period indicated by the periodic signals output from the fluctuation evaluation units 15 to 18 increases. To do. In addition, the amplifiers 26 to 29 in the notification sound synthesizing unit 20 decrease the gain of the audio signal that passes through the amplifiers 26 to 29 as the amplitudes indicated by the amplitude signals output from the fluctuation evaluation units 15 to 18 are smaller.
The speaker 21 emits a notification sound indicated by the audio signal mixed by the mixer 30.
Among the components described above, the acceleration sensors 11 to 14 and the shake evaluation units 15 to 18 constitute “detection means for detecting the shake of one or more parts of the body of the exerciser”, and the sound source 19 and notification The sound synthesizer 20 and the speaker 21 constitute “notification sound providing means for generating a notification sound that changes according to the detected fluctuation”.

以上の構成によれば、本実施形態にかかる運動支援装置10は、加速度センサ11〜14の各装着部位のゆれの程度をそれぞれ示す報知音をスピーカ21から放音する。そして、各装着部位のゆれの周期が長くなるほど、それらと対応する報知音のオーディオ信号の高周波成分の減衰量を大きくし、各装着部位のゆれの振幅が小さくなるほど、それらと対応する報知音のオーディオ信号のゲインを小さくする。よって、運動者の各装着部位が静止に近づいていくのに伴って各装着部位のゆれの周期が長くなり且つその振幅が小さくなると、それらの装着部位と対応する報知音の距離が遠ざかっていくような聴感が運動者に与えられる。運動者は、スピーカ21から放音される報知音の距離感を頼りに自らの各装着部位のゆれの程度を把握し、それらの報知音のすべてが聴こえなくなった時に矢を放つ訓練を重ねることにより、標的を正確に射抜くための身体の使い方を習得することができる。
また、各装着部位と対応する報知音は、和音を構成するようにピッチ差をつけた音波形データを基に発音されるので、運動者は、スピーカ21から発音される報知音の音程の違いから、自らのどの装着部位が完全な静止状態に至っていないのかを把握することができる。
According to the above configuration, the exercise support apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment emits a notification sound from the speaker 21 that indicates the degree of shaking of each attachment site of the acceleration sensors 11 to 14. Then, the longer the fluctuation period of each wearing part, the larger the attenuation amount of the high-frequency component of the audio signal of the notification sound corresponding to them, and the smaller the fluctuation amplitude of each wearing part, the more the notification sound corresponding to them. Reduce the gain of the audio signal. Therefore, as each wearing part of the exerciser approaches the stationary state, if the period of the shaking of each wearing part becomes longer and the amplitude thereof becomes smaller, the distance of the notification sound corresponding to those wearing parts becomes longer. A sense of hearing is given to the athlete. An exerciser must rely on the sense of distance of the notification sound emitted from the speaker 21 to grasp the degree of shaking of each of his / her wearing parts, and repeat training to release an arrow when all of the notification sounds are not audible. Thus, it is possible to learn how to use the body to accurately project the target.
In addition, the notification sound corresponding to each wearing part is generated based on the sound waveform data with a pitch difference so as to form a chord, so that the exerciser can change the pitch of the notification sound generated from the speaker 21. From this, it is possible to grasp which mounting part of itself does not reach a complete stationary state.

(第2実施形態)
本発明の第2実施形態について、説明する。本実施形態にかかる運動支援装置は、陸上短距離走のクラウチングスタートの訓練を支援するものである。クラウチングスタートは、以下の手順に従って行われる。まず、両手を離して地面につけ、前足側の膝を立て、後ろ足側の膝を地面に付けた姿勢で「用意」の合図を待つ。「用意」の合図があると、腰と後ろ足側の膝を上げ、その姿勢で静止したままピストル音が鳴るのを待つ。そして、ピストル音が鳴るのと同時に地面を蹴って前に飛び出すのである。このクラウチングスタートにおいて、地面を蹴る力を前へ進む力へと効率よく変換するためには、ピストル音が鳴るのを待つ間の身体の重心をそのような変換を行うのに都合のよい理想の位置で静止させておくことが肝要であるとされている。
本実施形態にかかる運動支援装置は、クラウチングスタートの訓練を行う運動者の重心の位置とその理想位置とのずれ量を報知する報知音を発音し、運動者の身体の各部位に装着した位置センサの検出値を基にその報知音を変化させる。

音源52は、報知音の音波形データを記憶したメモリを有する。この音源52は、図示しない電源が投入されると、メモリに記憶された音波形データを読み出し、その音波形データが示す波形のオーディオ信号を出力する。アンプ54は、音源52が発生したオーディオ信号のゲインを、重心ゆれ評価部51が出力するずれ量が小さいほど小さくする。運動者の身体の重心が理想位置からずれている場合や、理想位置に近いものの静止できずにゆれている場合、このアンプ54による信号処理を経てスピーカ21から放音される報知音によりそのことが案内される。具体的に説明すると、運動者の身体の重心の位置が理想位置からずれている場合、そのずれ量に応じた音量の報知音が放音され続け、重心の位置が理想位置と重ならない限りその音量は0にならない。さらに、運動者の身体の重心がゆれている場合、その理想位置とのずれ量の変化に合わせて報知音の音量も変化し、うなりを起こしている音であるかのような聴感が運動者に与えられる。   The sound source 52 has a memory that stores sound waveform data of the notification sound. When a power source (not shown) is turned on, the sound source 52 reads sound waveform data stored in the memory and outputs an audio signal having a waveform indicated by the sound waveform data. The amplifier 54 decreases the gain of the audio signal generated by the sound source 52 as the deviation amount output from the center-of-gravity fluctuation evaluation unit 51 decreases. When the center of gravity of the exerciser's body is deviated from the ideal position, or when the body is close to the ideal position but is not able to stand still, the fact that the sound is emitted from the speaker 21 through the signal processing by the amplifier 54 is indicated. Will be guided. Specifically, when the position of the center of gravity of the body of the exerciser is deviated from the ideal position, a sound notification sound of a volume corresponding to the amount of deviation continues to be emitted, and unless the position of the center of gravity overlaps with the ideal position The volume does not become zero. In addition, when the center of gravity of the athlete's body is swaying, the volume of the notification sound also changes according to the change in the deviation from the ideal position, and the athlete feels as if it is a beating sound. Given to.

以上の構成によれば、本実施形態にかかる運動支援装置10Aは、クラウチングスタートの訓練を行う運動者の重心とその理想位置とのずれ量を報知する報知音をスピーカ55から放音する。そして、理想位置とのずれ量が小さくなるほど、報知音のオーディオ信号のゲインを小さくする。よって、運動者の身体の重心が理想位置に近づいていくのに伴ってその重心と理想位置とのずれ量が小さくなると、スピーカ21から放音される報知音の音量が小さくなる。運動者は、スピーカ21から放音される報知音の音量およびその変化により、自らの身体の重心と理想位置とのずれ量やそのゆれの程度を把握し、ピストル音が鳴る前にその報知音が聴こえなくなるような姿勢をとる訓練を重ねることにより、クラウチングスタートの能力を高めることができる。   According to the above configuration, the exercise support apparatus 10 </ b> A according to the present embodiment emits a notification sound for notifying the deviation amount between the center of gravity of the exerciser performing the crouching start training and the ideal position from the speaker 55. The gain of the audio signal of the notification sound is reduced as the deviation from the ideal position is reduced. Therefore, as the center of gravity of the exerciser's body approaches the ideal position and the amount of deviation between the center of gravity and the ideal position decreases, the volume of the notification sound emitted from the speaker 21 decreases. The exerciser grasps the amount of deviation between the center of gravity of the body and the ideal position and the degree of the fluctuation based on the volume of the notification sound emitted from the speaker 21 and the change thereof, and the notification sound before the pistol sounds. The ability to start crouching can be improved by repeated training in a posture that makes it impossible to hear.

(他の実施形態)
本願発明は、種々の変形実施が可能である。
(1)上記第1実施形態において、ジャイロセンサ(角速度センサ)、位置センサ、角度センサなどを加速度センサ11〜14の代わりに運動者の身体の各部位に装着し、それらのセンサにより検出した物理量に所定の演算を施すことにより、各部位のゆれの周期と振幅とを取得するようにしてもよい。
(2)上記第2実施形態において、ジャイロセンサ(角速度センサ)、角度センサなどを位置センサ40の代わりに運動者の身体の各部位に装着し、それらのセンサにより検出した物理量に所定の演算を施すことにより、身体の重心の位置を取得するようにしてもよい。
(3)上記第1および第2実施形態において、運動者の身体のゆれに関わる物理量の1つである筋肉の緊張度合いを筋電位センサにより検出し、この筋電位センサが示す緊張度合いの大きさに応じて報知音を変化させてもよい。身体の筋肉の緊張や弛緩の度合いは視覚的には判断しにくいものの、筋肉を緊張させずにリラックスした静止状態から運動に入ったほうが、良好なパフォーマンスを実現しやすい。よって、たとえば、運動者の身体に筋電位センサを装着し、この筋電位センサの出力信号が示す緊張度合いが大きいほど報知音の音量を大きくし、緊張度合いが小さいほど報知音の音量を小さくするとよい。この態様によると、運動者は、報知音の音量が十分に小さくなったときに、自身の筋肉がリラックスした状態であることを認識できる。
(4)上記第1実施形態は、本願発明を弓道の訓練に適用し、上記第2実施形態は、本願発明を短距離走のクラウチングスタートの訓練に適用した。しかし、本願発明を適用するスポーツの訓練はこれらに限るものでなく、十分な静止を要する準備の姿勢から始まる運動であって、その準備の姿勢をとるところから運動の終了までの時間が概ね30秒未満であるような運動、例えば、相撲の立ち合いや競泳のスタートの訓練に本願発明を適用してもよい。
(5)第1実施形態では、加速度センサ11〜14から出力される加速度のサンプルa,a,aを基に運動者のゆれの周期と振幅を検出し、ゆれの周期が長いほど報知音の高周波成分の減衰量を大きくし、ゆれの振幅が小さいほどその音量を小さくした。しかし、加速度センサ11〜14の出力信号を基にゆれの周期および振幅の一方または両方を検出し、高周波成分の減衰量や音量とは別の特性をこの検出値に応じて変化させてもよい。ゆれの周期や振幅に応じて変化させる報知音の特性としては、以下に示すようなものがある。
a.周波数特性
第1実施形態における高周波成分の減衰量の調整のほか、たとえば、音源19が発生したオーディオ信号をイコライザによる信号処理に供することにより、ゆれの周期が大きいほど特定周波数帯域の減衰または強調の度合いを大きくし、ゆれの周期が小さいほどその度合いを小さくする、という態様がある。また、音源19が発生したオーディオ信号へエフェクタによる信号処理を通じて残響音を付加し、ゆれの周期が大きいほど残響音の残響時間を長くし、ゆれの周期が小さいほどその残響時間を短くするようにしてもよい。
b.ピッチ
たとえば、音源19が発生したオーディオ信号をピッチシフタなどの信号処理に供することにより、ゆれの振幅が大きいほど報知音のピッチを高くし、ゆれの振幅が小さいほど報知音のピッチを低くする、という態様がある。
c.テンポ(再生速度)
たとえば、楽曲データを報知音として再生するプレーヤを音源19に代えて装着し、ゆれの振幅が大きいほど楽曲データの再生速度を速くし、ゆれの振幅が小さいほどその再生速度を遅くする、という態様がある。
(6)第1実施形態では、和音を構成するようにピッチ差をつけた音波形データを基に複数の報知音を発音した。しかし、ピッチを異にする複数の報知音の代わりに、音量、周波数特性、テンポ(再生速度)のうち1つ以上を異にする複数の報知音を発音してもよい。
(7)上記第1および第2実施形態において、加速度センサ11〜14や位置センサ40の個数をより多くしてもよいし、少なくしてもよい。また、それらのセンサを上記実施形態と同じ部位に装着する必要はなく、支援を行う運動の性質に応じてそれらを装着する部位を変更してもよい。
(8)第1実施形態において、各装着部位のゆれの周期や振幅がある条件を満たすに至った時刻の順番を特定し、各装着部位と対応する報知音の音量、周波数特性、ピッチ、およびテンポのうちいずれか1つ以上をその順番に応じて変化させてもよい。たとえば、各装着部位のゆれの周期が閾値よりも長くなったことを条件とした上で、各装着部位のゆれがその条件を満たした順番を特定し、順番が上位であった装着部位と対応する報知音の音量を大きくし、順番が下位であった装着部位と対応する報知音の音量を小さくしてもよい。また、各装着部位のゆれの振幅が閾値よりも小さくなったことを条件とした上で、各装着部位のゆれがその条件を満たした順番を特定し、順番が上位であった装着部位と対応する報知音のピッチを高くし、順番が下位であった装着部位と対応する報知音のピッチを低くしてもよい。運動の性質によっては、静止状態になる部位の順番が競技の成否に影響を及ぼすものもあり、これらの変形例はその種の運動の支援に好適である。
(9)上記第1および第2実施形態において、スピーカ21の代わりにヘッドホンを搭載してもよい。
(10)上記第1および第2実施形態にかかる運動支援装置10,10Aのゆれ評価部15〜18、重心ゆれ評価部51、フィルタ22〜25、アンプ26〜29,54、ミキサ30と同じ機能をコンピュータに実現させるプログラムを、WWW(World Wide Web)上のサーバ装置から、パーソナルコンピュータ、PDA(Personal Data Assistance)、携帯電話端末などの各種端末にダウンロードさせてもよい。この場合、それらの端末に標準装備されている音源やスピーカ、加速度センサなどを、ダウンロードしたプログラムによって制御し、上記運動評価装置と同様の作用を実現することが可能である。また、端末の種類によっては加速度センサが標準装備されていないものものあるが、この場合においても、端末のインターフェースへ加速度センサを接続し、その加速度センサの出力信号を用いてゆれを検出することにより、上記運動評価装置と同様の作用を実現することが可能である。また、そのようなプログラムを記憶媒体に記憶させた上で配布するようにしてもよい。
(11)上記第2実施形態では、クラウチングスタートの訓練を行う運動者の重心の位置とその理想位置とのずれ量を、各位置センサ40から出力される位置のサンプルp,p,pを基に算出した。しかし、重心の位置そのもののゆれを算出し、このゆれに応じて報知音を変化させてもよい。たとえば、加速度センサ40から出力されるサンプルp,p,pを基に算出した位置G、G、Gのセットをメモリに時系列順に記憶し、メモリに記憶した最新の位置G、G、Gとその1つ前に記憶した位置G、G、Gとの差の大きさに応じて、報知音の音量、周波数特性、ピッチ、テンポ(再生速度)などを変化させるとよい。
(12)上記第1実施形態では、各装着部位のゆれの振幅が小さくなるほど、それらと対応する報知音の音量を小さくした。しかし、音量が周期的に変化する音を報知音として出力し、その報知音の音量の変化の周期をゆれの振幅や周期に応じて変化させてもよい。たとえば、波音の波形データを準備し、その波音の音量を周期的に変化させることにより、波音が大きくなっていく間は波が寄せている聴感を与え、波音が小さくなっていく間は波が引いている聴感を与えることが可能である。その上で、装着部位のゆれの振幅が小さくなるほど音量の変化の周期を長くしていき、ゆれの振幅が0になったときに音量を一定にする(つまり、無限大の周期にする)。これにより、運動者は、波音の音量が一定の音量に収束したことをもって装着部位が完全に静止したことを認識することができる。これに併せて、波音の音量そのものをゆれの振幅が小さくなるほど小さくするようにしてもよい。
(Other embodiments)
The present invention can be modified in various ways.
(1) In the first embodiment, a physical quantity detected by attaching a gyro sensor (angular velocity sensor), a position sensor, an angle sensor, or the like to each part of the body of the exerciser instead of the acceleration sensors 11 to 14 By performing a predetermined calculation, the period and amplitude of shaking of each part may be acquired.
(2) In the second embodiment, a gyro sensor (angular velocity sensor), an angle sensor, or the like is attached to each part of the body of the exerciser instead of the position sensor 40, and a predetermined calculation is performed on the physical quantity detected by these sensors. By applying, the position of the center of gravity of the body may be acquired.
(3) In the first and second embodiments, the muscle tension level, which is one of physical quantities related to the movement of the exerciser's body, is detected by the myoelectric potential sensor, and the magnitude of the tension level indicated by the myoelectric potential sensor is detected. The notification sound may be changed according to the above. Although it is difficult to visually judge the degree of muscle tension and relaxation, it is easier to achieve good performance if you start exercising from a relaxed still state without straining your muscles. Therefore, for example, when a myoelectric potential sensor is attached to the body of an exerciser, the volume of the notification sound is increased as the degree of tension indicated by the output signal of the myoelectric potential sensor is increased, and the volume of the notification sound is decreased as the degree of tension is lower. Good. According to this aspect, the exerciser can recognize that his / her muscle is in a relaxed state when the volume of the notification sound is sufficiently low.
(4) In the first embodiment, the present invention is applied to archery training, and in the second embodiment, the present invention is applied to cruising start training for short-distance running. However, sports training to which the present invention is applied is not limited to these, and is an exercise that starts from a ready posture that requires sufficient stillness, and the time from the preparation posture to the end of the exercise is approximately 30. You may apply this invention to exercise | movement which is less than a second, for example, training of the sumo wrestling and the start of a swimming race.
(5) In the first embodiment, the period and amplitude of the athlete's shake are detected based on the acceleration samples a x , a y , and a z output from the acceleration sensors 11 to 14, and the longer the period of the shake, the longer the fluctuation period becomes. The attenuation amount of the high-frequency component of the notification sound was increased, and the volume was reduced as the amplitude of the fluctuation was reduced. However, one or both of the fluctuation period and amplitude may be detected based on the output signals of the acceleration sensors 11 to 14, and characteristics different from the attenuation amount and volume of the high frequency component may be changed according to the detected value. . The characteristics of the notification sound to be changed according to the fluctuation period and amplitude include the following.
a. Frequency characteristics In addition to the adjustment of the attenuation amount of the high-frequency component in the first embodiment, for example, the audio signal generated by the sound source 19 is subjected to signal processing by an equalizer, whereby the attenuation or enhancement of a specific frequency band is increased as the fluctuation period increases. There is a mode in which the degree is increased and the degree is reduced as the fluctuation period is reduced. Further, a reverberation sound is added to the audio signal generated by the sound source 19 through signal processing by an effector, and the reverberation time of the reverberation sound is lengthened as the fluctuation period is large, and the reverberation time is shortened as the fluctuation period is small. May be.
b. Pitch For example, by using the audio signal generated by the sound source 19 for signal processing such as a pitch shifter, the pitch of the notification sound is increased as the amplitude of the shake is increased, and the pitch of the notification sound is decreased as the amplitude of the shake is reduced. There are aspects.
c. Tempo (playback speed)
For example, a player that plays music data as a notification sound is mounted instead of the sound source 19, and the playback speed of music data is increased as the amplitude of fluctuation is increased, and the playback speed is decreased as the amplitude of fluctuation is reduced. There is.
(6) In the first embodiment, a plurality of notification sounds are generated based on sound waveform data with a pitch difference so as to constitute a chord. However, instead of a plurality of notification sounds having different pitches, a plurality of notification sounds having different one or more of volume, frequency characteristics, and tempo (reproduction speed) may be generated.
(7) In the first and second embodiments, the number of acceleration sensors 11 to 14 and position sensors 40 may be increased or decreased. In addition, it is not necessary to attach these sensors to the same site as in the above-described embodiment, and the site where these sensors are to be installed may be changed according to the nature of the exercise for supporting.
(8) In the first embodiment, the order of the time when the period and amplitude of the vibration of each mounting part reach a certain condition is specified, and the volume, frequency characteristic, pitch, and the volume of the notification sound corresponding to each mounting part, and Any one or more of the tempos may be changed according to the order. For example, on the condition that the period of shaking of each wearing part is longer than the threshold, specify the order in which the shaking of each wearing part satisfies the condition, and correspond to the wearing part whose order was higher The volume of the notification sound to be increased may be increased, and the volume of the notification sound corresponding to the wearing part whose order is lower may be decreased. In addition, on the condition that the amplitude of the vibration of each wearing part is smaller than the threshold value, the order in which the shaking of each wearing part satisfies the condition is specified, and it corresponds to the wearing part whose order is higher. The pitch of the notification sound to be performed may be increased, and the pitch of the notification sound corresponding to the mounting site in the lower order may be decreased. Depending on the nature of the exercise, the order of the resting parts may affect the success or failure of the competition, and these modifications are suitable for supporting that type of exercise.
(9) In the first and second embodiments, headphones may be mounted instead of the speakers 21.
(10) Same functions as the swing evaluation units 15 to 18, the center of gravity swing evaluation unit 51, the filters 22 to 25, the amplifiers 26 to 29 and 54, and the mixer 30 of the exercise support devices 10 and 10A according to the first and second embodiments. May be downloaded from a server device on the WWW (World Wide Web) to various terminals such as a personal computer, a PDA (Personal Data Assistance), and a mobile phone terminal. In this case, the sound source, the speaker, the acceleration sensor, and the like that are provided as standard in those terminals can be controlled by the downloaded program, and the same operation as that of the motion evaluation apparatus can be realized. Also, depending on the type of terminal, an acceleration sensor is not provided as standard, but in this case as well, by connecting the acceleration sensor to the interface of the terminal and detecting the shake using the output signal of the acceleration sensor It is possible to realize the same operation as that of the motion evaluation apparatus. Further, such a program may be distributed after being stored in a storage medium.
(11) In the second embodiment described above, the deviations between the position of the center of gravity of the exerciser performing the crouching start and the ideal position are represented by the position samples p x , p y , p output from the position sensors 40. Calculated based on z . However, the fluctuation of the position of the center of gravity itself may be calculated, and the notification sound may be changed according to this fluctuation. For example, a set of positions G x , G y , G z calculated based on the samples p x , p y , p z output from the acceleration sensor 40 is stored in time series in the memory, and the latest position stored in the memory G x, G y, the position previously stored and one its G z G x, G y, in accordance with the magnitude of the difference between G z, the notification sound volume, frequency characteristics, pitch, tempo (playback speed) It is good to change.
(12) In the said 1st Embodiment, the volume of the notification sound corresponding to them was made small, so that the amplitude of the shake of each mounting part became small. However, a sound whose sound volume changes periodically may be output as a notification sound, and the change period of the sound volume of the notification sound may be changed according to the amplitude or period of the fluctuation. For example, by preparing waveform data of a wave sound and periodically changing the volume of the wave sound, the sound that the wave is coming in is given while the wave sound is increasing, and the wave is heard while the wave sound is decreasing. It is possible to give a pulling sensation. In addition, the cycle of the change in volume is lengthened as the amplitude of fluctuation of the wearing part becomes smaller, and the volume is made constant when the amplitude of fluctuation becomes 0 (that is, an infinite cycle). Thereby, the exerciser can recognize that the wearing site is completely stationary when the volume of the wave sound has converged to a constant volume. In conjunction with this, the volume of the wave sound itself may be made smaller as the amplitude of the fluctuation becomes smaller.
