DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a computer system operator's fatigue relief support system.
The present invention relates to a fatigue elimination support system for eliminating fatigue of a neck, a shoulder, a hand, and the like of an operator who operates a computer device. The present invention also relates to a recording medium on which a program for causing a computer to perform the processing in such a system is recorded.

[0002] The invention further relates to a fatigue recovery device controlled by the system.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art With the spread of computer devices (devices for operating a keyboard and a mouse while looking at a display screen, including computers such as so-called personal computers and office computers and word processors), the time required for each operator to operate the computer devices has increased. It has become to. In such a situation, it is recommended to take a break periodically (for example, every hour) in order to eliminate fatigue of the operator's neck, shoulders, hands, and the like.

[0004] If the operator is enthusiastic about the operation of the keyboard and mouse while looking at the display screen, he or she may forget to periodically take a rest. In order to prevent such a situation, an alarm sign is displayed on the display screen every predetermined time while working by operating a keyboard, a mouse or the like while looking at the display screen, and according to the degree of operator fatigue. A system for providing guidance on stretching exercises has been proposed (Japanese Patent Application No. 9-88171).

[0005] With such a system, the operator can know the degree of fatigue. In addition, according to the guidance of this system, it is possible to perform a streech exercise corresponding to the degree of fatigue, and the operator can effectively eliminate fatigue.

[0006]

However, in the above system, the operator voluntarily takes a sufficient rest,
Even if you resume working at your computer, your computer usage time will be reset,
The system is not restarted but is accumulated in the previous use time. For example, it is assumed that the predetermined time during which the warning sign is displayed is set to 60 minutes, and the warning sign is displayed on the computer screen when the cumulative use time of the operator working on the computer exceeds 60 minutes. .

[0007] When the operator resumes the work after working 55 minutes and taking a sufficient rest, the above-mentioned system continuously accumulates the use time after the restart of the work for 55 minutes of the previous use time. For this reason, an alarm sign urging the user to take a rest about 5 minutes after the operator resumes his / her work is displayed, and for the operator who took a rest about 5 minutes ago, the display of the alarm sign is annoying.

Further, in the above-mentioned system, as a method of relieving fatigue, a stretching exercise in accordance with a use state of the input unit is displayed on a screen, and an operator is encouraged to exercise. However, depending on the work content and work environment of the operator, even simple stretching exercises may be limited, and a method for eliminating fatigue that is not caused by stretching exercises is desired.

Accordingly, a first object of the present invention is to provide a computer apparatus which monitors a time interval of an input operation performed by an operator to the computer apparatus, measures a use time according to the length of the time interval, and performs a predetermined operation. An object of the present invention is to provide a fatigue elimination support system capable of issuing an alarm or the like for each measurement time. A second object of the present invention is to provide a recording medium which records a program for causing a computer to perform the processing in the above system.

A third object of the present invention is to provide a fatigue relaxation assisting device which is controlled by the above-mentioned system and generates a signal for promoting fatigue relaxation of an operator at the time of an alarm.

[0012] In such a system, when the operation of the input unit by the operator is performed at a time interval shorter than the first predetermined time (relatively short time), the operation is always accumulated in the measurement time, and the operator is not allowed to perform another operation. If there is no operation on the input unit from the first predetermined time to the second predetermined time (slightly longer time) after leaving the seat due to work or the like, that time is excluded from the measurement time. If the operator does not operate the input unit for a time longer than the second predetermined time, the measurement time is reset. Therefore, the measurement time is closer to the time when the operator is actually working using the computer device. In addition, it is possible to prohibit a warning that has been generated after the operator operates the input unit, and to eliminate the troublesomeness that the warning gives to the operator.

It is configured to determine whether the value is smaller than the predetermined time value range, within the predetermined time value range, or larger than the predetermined time value range.

In such a system, each time the input unit is operated, the time during which the input unit is not operated is measured (calculated) based on the sampled time, and the input unit is not operated. The measurement of the time is controlled whether or not the measurement of the time is performed throughout the period, whether or not the measurement is reset. Further, in order to solve the second problem, the present invention provides, as described in claim 3,

First control program means for excluding the time spent from the measurement time, and when the determination program means determines that the time value during which the input unit has not been operated is larger than the predetermined time value range, the measurement means And a second control program unit for resetting the measurement time at the time to an initial value.

Further, in order to solve the third problem,

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. A hardware configuration of a computer device to which a fatigue elimination support system according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied is, for example, as shown in FIG. FIG. 1 is a hardware configuration diagram.

Referring to FIG. 1, the computer device includes:
It has a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 10, a memory unit 11, a display unit 12, an input unit 13, a disk unit 14, and a CD-ROM driver unit 15. These units are connected to each other by a bus B. The CPU 10 executes various processes according to a program stored in the memory unit 11. The memory unit 11 is configured by a ROM, a RAM, and the like, and stores data and the like that need a program to be executed by the CPU 10. The display unit 12 displays information obtained in each process under the control of the CPU 10.

The input unit 13 is composed of a keyboard, a mouse, and the like, and various kinds of information are input to the computer device by an operation of an operator. In addition, mouse 21
Is equipped with a mechanism for eliminating fatigue of fingers and arms. The disk unit 14 is composed of, for example, a hard disk device, and stores various programs, tables, files, and the like.

The CD-ROM driver unit 15 reads information from the set CD-ROM 20 and provides the information to the computer. The program and data relating to the fatigue elimination support system according to the present invention are provided to the computer device on the CD-ROM 20, for example. The program stored in the CD-ROM 20 is installed on the disk unit 14 via the CD-ROM driver unit 15.

This fatigue elimination support system monitors the state of input from the operator to the computer by using a keyboard or mouse at the same time that the computer is started. For example,
Operation status (work time, number of key touches, number of mouse operations)
The alarm mark display process is performed every time the condition becomes constant. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the procedure of the monitoring process.

In FIG. 2, first, an initial setting process is performed (S201). In this initialization processing, a counter (X) for counting the number of key touches, a counter (Y) for counting the number of mouse click operations, and a register (T) for accumulating the usage time are initialized (X = 0, Y = 0). , T =
0). Further, the time data is initialized so that the current time T1 is equal to the previous operation (keyboard operation, mouse operation, etc.) time T2 (T1 = T2).

Here, the setting method of the start interval includes an arbitrary setting mode in which the operator sets the condition of the work situation and an automatic setting mode in which the system automatically sets. For example, the optional setting mode is selected by the operator (S202, optional setting), and the number of keyboard touches X1, the number of mouse operations Y1, and the time interval (activation time) Z are conditions for the operator to display an alarm mark (★).
When 1 is input, those conditions are set in a predetermined register as reference values (S203). From this state, C
After setting the current time T1 of the internal timer in a predetermined internal register (S204), the PU 10 determines whether the keyboard touch count X at that time is equal to or greater than the reference value X1 set as described above (S205), Mouse operation count Y
Is greater than or equal to the reference value Y1 set as described above (S
206) Further, it is determined whether the usage time T up to the present is equal to or longer than the reference value Z1 set as described above (S207).

As a result of the above determination process, if none of the number X of keyboard touches, the number Y of mouse operations, and the use time T have reached the respective reference values, the CPU 10 executes the keyboard count process, the mouse count process (P201) and the time A count process (P300) is executed. In the keyboard counting process, the value (X) of the corresponding counter is incremented by +1 each time each key of the keyboard is operated. In the mouse counting process, the value (Y) of the corresponding counter is incremented by +1 each time a mouse click operation is performed.
Only increment. The time counting process (P
The details of (300) will be described later.

When the keyboard count process, the mouse count process, and the time count process are completed, the current time T1 of the internal timer is set again. afterwards,
The same processing as above, that is, the number of keyboard touches X, the number of mouse operations Y, and the use time T are set to the reference values X1, Y
1 and Z1 or more (S205, S205).
206, S207), if not reached, a keyboard count process, a mouse count process (P201) and a time count process (P300) are performed. Then, the same processing as described above is repeated until one of the keyboard touch count X, the mouse operation count Y, and the use time T reaches the corresponding reference value.

Next, the time counting process (P300) shown in FIG. 2 will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a time counting process until a next alarm is issued. In FIG. 3, the use time T used as a counter until the next warning is issued and the time T2 of the previous operation are initialized. That is, 0 (zero) is set for the usage time T, and the start time is substituted for the time T2 of the last operation (S
310).

Next, it is determined whether or not a keyboard or mouse operation has been performed (S311). In particular, if there is no keyboard or mouse operation, S3
At 11 the processing is suspended. On the other hand, when the keyboard or the mouse is operated, it is determined whether or not the end key is pressed (S312). If the end key is pressed, the time counting process ends. When a key other than the end key is operated, the current time is set to the operated current time T1 (S313).

Here, the difference between the time T2 set in the predetermined register at the time of the previous operation and the current time T1 is calculated, and the time interval (T1-T2) is set to the first predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes). It is determined whether it is within the range (S31).
4). When the time interval (T1−T2) is within the first predetermined time (when the operator suspends the work is within the first predetermined time), the usage time T indicates the time interval (T1−T2). ) Is added (T + (T1-T2)),
The use time T is updated (S315). Thereafter, the current time T1 is newly set in the predetermined register as the previous operation time T2 (S316), and the process returns to step S311.

On the other hand, the time interval (T1-T2) is the first
(If the time during which the operator is interrupting the work exceeds the first predetermined time), it is further determined whether the time is within the second predetermined time (for example, 30 minutes). Is determined (S317). The time interval (T1-T
If 2) is within the second predetermined time, the current time T1 is newly set in the predetermined register as the previous operation time T2 (S318), and the process returns to step S311. In this case, the use time T is not updated.

If the time interval (T1-T2) exceeds the second predetermined time, the use time T is reset (T =
0) is performed (S319). Further, the current time T1 is set to the time T2 of the last operation (S320), and step S31 is performed.
Return to 1. As described above, the first predetermined time (for example, 5
Minutes) and the second predetermined time (for example, 30 minutes) are not considered as the use time, and if the difference exceeds the second predetermined time,
By resetting the cumulative use time, a realistic cumulative use time calculation can be performed, and unnecessary warning display can be eliminated.

Returning to FIG. 2, when it is determined that one of the number X of keyboard touches, the number Y of mouse operations, and the use time T exceeds the corresponding reference value as described above (S20).
5, Yes in any of S206 and S207), CPU
10 performs an alarm display process (P203). In the alarm display processing, for example, an alarm mark (★) blinks at a predetermined position of a window to be worked on the screen of the display unit 12. In addition, when a fatigue relaxation assisting device for reducing fatigue of the operator as described later is connected to and controlled by the fatigue elimination assisting system, a signal indicating an operation start is transmitted to the fatigue relaxation assisting device. As a result, the fatigue relaxation assisting device starts operating.

Thereafter, each counter of the number of keyboard touches X and the number of mouse operations Y is reset, and the register of the use time T is reset (S208). Then, the current time T1 is fetched again, and the above-described processing is repeated. On the other hand, when the setting method of the activation interval is the automatic setting mode (S202), among the conditions for which the operation status is to be warned, particularly the condition for the usage time T (the reference value Z)
0) is set (P204).

In this process, the reference value Z0 is determined according to the degree of fatigue of the operator obtained from the result of checking the degree of fatigue described above. The algorithm for this decision is
It is determined based on exercise, medical theories and various experimental results. When the degree of fatigue is relatively high, reference value Z0 is set to a relatively small value. As a result, the alarm mark (★) blinks on the display screen at a relatively short cycle.

When the operator notices a flashing alarm mark (★) on the screen of the display unit 12, the operator
Judge that it is time to take a break. On the other hand, the fatigue elimination support system transmits a signal (for example, vibration, ultrasonic wave, far-infrared ray, or music) for promoting fatigue relaxation from a device connected to a computer in order to reduce fatigue of the operator.

Thereby, the blood circulation of the operator can be improved, and the recovery from fatigue can be promoted.

Furthermore, the device 700 is a device that generates music that allows the operator to relax. The device 700 includes a signal detector 701 for detecting a signal from the computer 400 and a sound generator 702. When detecting a signal from the computer, the signal detection 701 transmits a signal to the sound generation device 702 to cause the sound generation device 702 to generate sound or music. As a result, recovery of fatigue of the operator can be promoted.
