以下、添付図面を参照しながら本発明を実施するための形態について詳細に説明する。   DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

図１は、本発明の実施例１によるエネルギー消費量報知装置の構成を説明する図である。本実施例のエネルギー消費量報知装置は、親機１００と子機２００とから成る。親機１００は、送受信器１１、アンテナ１２、計算器１３、運動履歴ＤＢ１４、表示器１５、及び警報器１６から成る。子機２００は、アンテナ１７、送受信器１８、位置計測器１９、加速度センサ２０、及び報知器２１から成る。親機１００の送受信器１１と子機２００の送受信器１８とはそれぞれに接続されているアンテナ１２及びアンテナ１７を介して相互に電波による通信を行う。親機１００の送受信器１１は、プール周辺の適当な既知の位置に配置されている複数のアンテナ１２を介して、プール内にいる使用者に装着される子機２００にアンテナ１２毎に異なる電波を使用して子機２００に後述する使用者のエネルギー消費量を送信する。周波数を異ならせたり、又は色々な変調をして、電波を異ならせることができる。子機２００の送受信器１８は親機１００からエネルギー消費量を電波によって受信して、位置計測器１９は、その電波の強度からそれぞれのアンテナ１２までの距離を計算し子機２００のプール内の２次元平面上の位置を演算して計測する。その原理は三角形の３辺の長さによって三角形が定まることによる。加速度センサ２０は、ｘｙｚの３軸方向の３つの加速度センサを有し、それらの３軸方向の加速度から使用者の動きの加速度の絶対値（大きさ）を求める。送受信器１８は、位置計測器１９で計測した子機２００の位置、及び加速度センサ２０で求めた使用者の動きの加速度の絶対値を親機１００の送受信器１１に送信する。親機１００の計算器１３は、送受信器１１が受信した子機２００の位置及び使用者の動きの加速度の絶対値を運動履歴ＤＢ１４に記録し、その子機２００の位置の履歴から子機２００の速度を演算し、さらに使用者の動きの加速度の絶対値とから使用者のエネルギー消費量を計算する。その原理はシミュレーションによる。すなわち、何人かの被験者に本実施例の子機２００を装着して水中歩行させ、速度及び加速度を測定して記録し、その際の被験者の酸素消費量を測定して、エネルギー消費量との相関をとる。その際に、エネルギー消費量は、被験者の(1).性別、(2).年齢、(3).身長、(4).体重、(5).プール水深、(6).プール床面のすべりを変数とする関数であることを加味すると更に正確にシミュレートすることができる。   FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an energy consumption notification device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The energy consumption notification device according to the present embodiment includes a parent device 100 and a child device 200. The base unit 100 includes a transceiver 11, an antenna 12, a calculator 13, an exercise history DB 14, a display 15, and an alarm 16. The subunit | mobile_unit 200 consists of the antenna 17, the transmitter / receiver 18, the position measuring device 19, the acceleration sensor 20, and the alerting | reporting device 21. FIG. The transmitter / receiver 11 of the parent device 100 and the transmitter / receiver 18 of the child device 200 communicate with each other by radio waves via the antenna 12 and the antenna 17 connected to each other. The transmitter / receiver 11 of the master unit 100 receives different radio waves for each antenna 12 from the slave unit 200 attached to the user in the pool via a plurality of antennas 12 arranged at appropriate known positions around the pool. Is used to transmit the energy consumption of the user, which will be described later, to the slave unit 200. The radio waves can be made different by changing the frequency or performing various modulations. The transmitter / receiver 18 of the child device 200 receives energy consumption from the parent device 100 by radio waves, and the position measuring device 19 calculates the distances to the respective antennas 12 from the intensity of the radio waves and calculates the distance in the pool of the child device 200. The position on the two-dimensional plane is calculated and measured. The principle is that the triangle is determined by the length of the three sides of the triangle. The acceleration sensor 20 includes three acceleration sensors in the xyz triaxial directions, and obtains the absolute value (magnitude) of the user's motion acceleration from the accelerations in the triaxial directions. The transceiver 18 transmits the position of the slave unit 200 measured by the position measuring unit 19 and the absolute value of the acceleration of the movement of the user obtained by the acceleration sensor 20 to the transceiver 11 of the base unit 100. The calculator 13 of the parent device 100 records the position of the child device 200 and the absolute value of the acceleration of the movement of the user received by the transmitter / receiver 11 in the movement history DB 14, and from the history of the position of the child device 200, The speed is calculated, and the user's energy consumption is calculated from the absolute value of the acceleration of the user's movement. The principle is based on simulation. That is, several subjects wear the handset 200 of this embodiment, walk underwater, measure and record the speed and acceleration, measure the subject's oxygen consumption at that time, Take correlation. At that time, energy consumption of the subjects was (1) .sex, (2) .age, (3) .height, (4) .weight, (5) .pool depth, (6) .pool floor surface Considering that it is a function with slip as a variable, it can be simulated more accurately.

具体的には、下記の重回帰方程式（１）の各重回帰係数α1、α2、α3、α4を最小二乗法によって求める。
Ｙ＝α1Ｘ1＋α2Ｘ2＋α3Ｘ3＋α4 （１）
ただし、
Ｙ：総酸素消費量
Ｘ1：安静時酸素消費量（人により異なるが経時変化はない）
Ｘ2：頭部の加速度（移動とは独立に体を動かしたことによる酸素消費量を推定）
Ｘ3：速度**３（水中移動による酸素消費量が移動速度の３乗に比例するため）
α1、α2、α3、α4：重回帰係数 Specifically, the multiple regression coefficients α1, α2, α3, and α4 of the following multiple regression equation (1) are obtained by the method of least squares.
Y = α1X1 + α2X2 + α3X3 + α4 (1)
However,
Y: Total oxygen consumption X1: Resting oxygen consumption (depending on the person, but no change over time)
X2: Head acceleration (estimated oxygen consumption due to body movement independent of movement)
X3: Speed ** 3 (because the oxygen consumption by moving in water is proportional to the cube of the moving speed)
α1, α2, α3, α4: Multiple regression coefficients

被験者の(1).性別、(2).年齢、(3).身長、(4).体重は、Ｘ1に反映させる。例えば日本人の性別、年齢別の基礎代謝量及び性別、年齢別の基準身長、基準体重が厚生労働省から公表されているので、これを参考にして安静時酸素消費量Ｘ1を推定することができる。   The subject's (1) .sex, (2) .age, (3) .height, (4) .weight is reflected in X1. For example, since the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has published the Japanese basic sex and age-based basal metabolic rate and sex, age-specific standard height and standard weight, the resting oxygen consumption X1 can be estimated with reference to this. .

移動とは独立に自分の体を動かすために用いられる酸素消費量に相当する値として、頭部に装着した子機２００の上下軸加速度、前後軸加速度の絶対値をそれぞれ二乗し、足し合わせ、５秒間累積して、その平均値をＸ2とする。   As values corresponding to oxygen consumption used to move one's body independently of movement, the absolute values of the vertical axis acceleration and the longitudinal axis acceleration of the child device 200 attached to the head are squared and added together, Accumulate for 5 seconds and let the average value be X2.

自分を移動させるための酸素消費量について、まず、水特有の抵抗の特性から、抗力Ｄは、
Ｄ＝(１／２)*Ｃd*Ｓ*ｒo*ｖ**２
ただし、
Ｃd：抗力係数
Ｓ：人の前面投影面積
ｒo：水の密度＝１.０
ｖ：人の移動速度
と計算される。前面投影面積Ｓは日本人の体表面積計算という知見をもとに、計算し、この全面積の半分が前方と考え、さらに身長と水深との比例した分だけが水の中に没しているとして求める。Ｃdは知り得ないので、これを含めて係数を求める。さらに、この抗力Ｄに速度ｖを掛けてパワー（単位時間あたりのエネルギー）を求める。すなわち、(１／２)*Ｓ*ｒo*ｖ**３に相当する値が、Ｘ3となる。Ｃdを合わせた係数α3を最小二乗法で求める。 About oxygen consumption for moving oneself, first, from the characteristic of resistance specific to water, drag D is
D = (1/2) * Cd * S * ro * v ** 2
However,
Cd: Drag coefficient S: Front projected area of human ro: Water density = 1.0
v: Calculated as the moving speed of a person. The front projection area S is calculated based on the knowledge of Japanese body surface area calculation, half of this total area is considered to be the front, and only the proportion of height and depth is submerged in the water. Asking. Since Cd cannot be known, the coefficient including this is obtained. Furthermore, the power (energy per unit time) is obtained by multiplying the drag D by the speed v. That is, a value corresponding to (1/2) * S * ro * v ** 3 is X3. The coefficient α3 combined with Cd is obtained by the method of least squares.

図３は、推定式による推定値と酸素消費量を実測した実測値との関係を示す散布図である。図３(a)は男性２９名（２７歳から７３歳）が、図３(b)は女性２１名（３３歳から７１歳）が、屋内プール（１７．２ｍ×１.８ｍ、水深１．１ｍ、水温３０度）で分速２５ｍから分速４０ｍまでの速度によって水中歩行を行った際の実測値と推定値を示している。得られた推定式における推定精度は偏相関係数ｒ＝０．８９（男性）、ｒ＝０．８８（女性）となり、高い精度での推定が可能である。   FIG. 3 is a scatter diagram showing the relationship between the estimated value based on the estimation formula and the actually measured value obtained by actually measuring the oxygen consumption. Fig. 3 (a) shows 29 men (27 to 73 years old) and Fig. 3 (b) shows 21 women (33 to 71 years old) indoor pool (17.2m x 1.8m, depth 1. The actual measurement value and the estimated value when walking underwater at a speed from 25 m / min to 40 m / min at 1 m and a water temperature of 30 degrees) are shown. The estimation accuracy in the obtained estimation equation is the partial correlation coefficient r = 0.89 (male) and r = 0.88 (female), and estimation with high accuracy is possible.

図４及び図５は、個々の試技における、推定式による推定値と酸素消費量の実測値との関係を示す図である。図４は、男性の場合の４０の試技について示し、図５は、女性の場合の４０の試技について示す。これらから、加速度積分値と速度によって酸素消費量を高い精度によって推定することが可能であることが分かる。すなわち、本発明によって信頼性のあるエネルギー消費量が求められることが裏付けられる。   4 and 5 are diagrams showing the relationship between the estimated value based on the estimation formula and the actually measured value of oxygen consumption in each trial technique. FIG. 4 shows 40 trials in the case of men, and FIG. 5 shows 40 trials in the case of women. From these, it can be seen that the oxygen consumption can be estimated with high accuracy by the acceleration integral value and the speed. That is, it is supported by the present invention that a reliable energy consumption is required.

図１に戻って、運動履歴ＤＢ１４は、使用者の過去の水中歩行時のエネルギー消費量を記録しておき、表示器１５は、必要に応じて随時、この過去のエネルギー消費量を表示する。また、警報器１６は、子機２００がプール内に存在していて突然、アンテナ１２による電波の受信が途絶えた時に子機２００が水没、すなわち、使用者がプール内で転倒したと判断し、音又は光によって警報を発する。さらに、送受信器１１は、歩行中にその時々のエネルギー消費量を子機２００に送信する。子機２００は送受信器１８によって親機１００から受信したエネルギー消費量を報知器２１によって使用者に知らせる。これは音声によって骨伝導で知らせると、歩行中に特定の使用者にだけ知らせることができるので適する。これにより、使用者は子機２００を装着して水中歩行中にその時々のエネルギー消費量を知ることができる。本実施例では特に、親機１００から子機２００にエネルギー消費量を送信する電波の強度を子機２００が検出して子機２００の位置を計測するので、簡易な構成によって正確なエネルギー消費量を使用者に知らせることができる。   Returning to FIG. 1, the exercise history DB 14 records the energy consumption amount of the user when walking underwater in the past, and the display 15 displays the past energy consumption amount as needed. The alarm device 16 determines that the handset 200 is submerged when the handset 200 exists in the pool and the reception of the radio wave by the antenna 12 is suddenly stopped, that is, the user has fallen in the pool, Sound an alarm by sound or light. Furthermore, the transceiver 11 transmits the energy consumption at that time to the subunit | mobile_unit 200 during a walk. The subunit | mobile_unit 200 notifies a user of the energy consumption received from the main | base station 100 with the transmitter / receiver 18 by the alerting | reporting device 21. FIG. This is suitable if the bone conduction is informed by voice because only a specific user can be notified during walking. Thereby, the user can know the energy consumption at that time while wearing the subunit | mobile_unit 200 and walking underwater. Particularly in the present embodiment, since the slave unit 200 detects the intensity of the radio wave that transmits the energy consumption amount from the master unit 100 to the slave unit 200 and measures the position of the slave unit 200, an accurate energy consumption amount can be obtained with a simple configuration. Can be notified to the user.

子機２００はゴーグルの形態をとることができる。通信には、ZigBee（登録商標）端末などの市販の製品を使用することができる。   The handset 200 can take the form of goggles. A commercially available product such as a ZigBee (registered trademark) terminal can be used for communication.

図６は、本実施例の動作を説明する図である。計測開始して（ステップＳ１）、まず、移動軌跡中のプール内に入った地点を探索して（ｘ0,ｙ0）とし（ステップＳ２）、使用者がその地点（ｘ0,ｙ0）にいた時刻を運動開始時刻とする（ステップＳ３）。それから現在位置までの軌跡データを取得し（ステップＳ４）、プール長手方向のみを考えて速度ベクトルを算出し（ステップＳ５）、その速度ベクトルを速さ（絶対値）に変換して（ステップＳ６）、この速さ（ｍ／ｍｉｎ）を本人の運動状態変数のひとつとする（ステップＳ７）。また、一定時間幅τ（ｓｅｃ）における加速度を取得し（ステップＳ８）、極端な値を除去するフィルタリング後に、この加速度を全波整流して絶対値化して（ステップＳ９）、Ｔ（ｓｅｃ）（Ｔ＞τ）内の波形を積分して加速度の積分値とする（ステップＳ１０）。そして、これら速さ及び加速度積分値を運動時変数として（ステップＳ１１）、一定時間おきにその運動時変数及び本人個人変数（(1).性別、(2).年齢、(3).身長、(4).体重など）を推定式にあてはめてエネルギー消費量を算出する（ステップＳ１２）。   FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the operation of this embodiment. The measurement is started (step S1). First, a point that has entered the pool in the movement locus is searched for (x0, y0) (step S2), and the time when the user was at the point (x0, y0) is determined. The exercise start time is set (step S3). Then, the trajectory data up to the current position is acquired (step S4), the speed vector is calculated considering only the pool longitudinal direction (step S5), and the speed vector is converted into the speed (absolute value) (step S6). The speed (m / min) is set as one of the movement state variables of the person (step S7). In addition, an acceleration in a certain time width τ (sec) is acquired (step S8), and after filtering to remove an extreme value, this acceleration is full-wave rectified to an absolute value (step S9), and T (sec) ( The waveform within T> τ) is integrated to obtain an integrated value of acceleration (step S10). Then, these speed and acceleration integral values are set as movement time variables (step S11), and the movement time variables and personal variables ((1). Gender, (2). Age, (3). Height, (4). Weight etc. is applied to the estimation formula to calculate the energy consumption (step S12).

図２は、本発明の実施例２によるエネルギー消費量報知装置の構成を説明する図である。本実施例のエネルギー消費量報知装置は、親機１００と子機２００とから成る。親機１００は、送受信器１１、アンテナ１２、計算器１３、運動履歴ＤＢ１４、表示器１５、及び警報器１６から成る。子機２００は、アンテナ１７、送受信器１８、加速度センサ２０、及び報知器２１から成る。本実施例では、子機２００が位置計測するのではなく、親機１００の送受信器１１が子機２００から子機２００の加速度を電波で受信して、計算器１３が、その電波の強度から子機２００の位置を演算し計測する点が実施例１と異なる。   FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the energy consumption notification device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The energy consumption notification device according to the present embodiment includes a parent device 100 and a child device 200. The base unit 100 includes a transceiver 11, an antenna 12, a calculator 13, an exercise history DB 14, a display 15, and an alarm 16. The subunit | mobile_unit 200 consists of the antenna 17, the transmitter / receiver 18, the acceleration sensor 20, and the alerting | reporting device 21. FIG. In this embodiment, the position of the slave unit 200 is not measured, but the transmitter / receiver 11 of the master unit 100 receives the acceleration of the slave unit 200 from the slave unit 200 by radio waves, and the calculator 13 determines the intensity of the radio waves. The point which calculates and measures the position of the subunit | mobile_unit 200 differs from Example 1. FIG.

なお、本発明は上記実施例に限定されるものではない。加速度は必ずしも考慮しなくても、速度だけで十分に正確にエネルギー消費量を求めることもできる。この場合、加速度センサ２０は必要ない。警報器１６は必ずしも必要ない。   In addition, this invention is not limited to the said Example. Even if the acceleration is not necessarily taken into account, the energy consumption can be obtained sufficiently accurately only by the speed. In this case, the acceleration sensor 20 is not necessary. The alarm 16 is not always necessary.
