For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the reality answer 32b has a soundless time between the phonemes 30c and 30d and the phonemes 30d and 30e. Therefore, the time t2x from the start to the end of the answer in the actual answer 32b becomes long, and if it is not within the above allowable range of the model answer 28, it is judged that the driver's physical condition is abnormal.
  • (C) Divide the actual answer into phonemes and obtain the amplitude of the waveform for each phoneme.

Description

体調検知システムPhysical condition detection system
 本発明は、体調検知システムに関するものである。 The present invention relates to a physical condition detection system.
 従来、事業用車両の運転者は運転前の点呼で健康管理されている。たとえば、下記特許文献1に開示される点呼管理システムは、呼気中アルコールなどのバイタルデータを取得し、そのバイタルデータはネットワーク上で管理されている。 Conventionally, the driver of a commercial vehicle is managed by roll call before driving. For example, the roll call management system disclosed in Patent Document 1 below acquires vital data such as alcohol in exhaled breath, and the vital data is managed on the network.
特開2012-159959号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2012-159959
 血中アルコールに起因した運転ミスによる事故以外に、運転者が運転中に脳出血、脳梗塞または心筋梗塞などを発症して事故に至るケースがある。そのため、運転中に脳出血、脳梗塞または心筋梗塞などの症状を早期発見し、そのような症状がある場合に乗務・運行を停止させる必要がある。しかし、特許文献1は呼気中アルコールを検出することで運転の可否を判断できるが、運転中の脳出血、脳梗塞または心筋梗塞などの症状を認知できない。脳出血、脳梗塞または心筋梗塞などの症状を発見するために、血圧計などの器具を運転者が装着することは、運転に支障をきたす可能性があるため、有効ではない。 In addition to accidents caused by driving mistakes caused by blood alcohol, there are cases where the driver develops cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction or myocardial infarction while driving, leading to an accident. Therefore, it is necessary to detect symptoms such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction or myocardial infarction at an early stage while driving, and to stop the flight / operation when such symptoms are present. However, although Patent Document 1 can determine whether or not driving is possible by detecting alcohol in exhaled breath, it cannot recognize symptoms such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, or myocardial infarction during driving. It is not effective for the driver to wear a device such as a sphygmomanometer to detect symptoms such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction or myocardial infarction because it may interfere with driving.
 脳出血、脳梗塞または心筋梗塞に限らず、運転中に運転者の体調が変わる場合もある。病気ではなくても、運転者が運転中に疲れから眠気を催す場合もある。そのような場合も、早期に運転者の体調変化を検知し、乗務・運行を停止させ、必要であれば運転業務を変更または中止する必要がある。 Not limited to cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction or myocardial infarction, the driver's physical condition may change during driving. Even if you are not ill, the driver may become drowsy due to tiredness while driving. Even in such a case, it is necessary to detect the change in the driver's physical condition at an early stage, stop the crew / operation, and change or stop the driving business if necessary.

 [実施形態1]
 図1に示す本願の体調検知システム10は、音声分析サーバー12、運転者端末14および管理者端末16を備える。音声分析サーバー12、運転者端末14および管理者端末16はネットワーク18によって通信可能に接続されている。音声分析サーバー12、運転者端末14および管理者端末16は互いに通信するための手段を備えており、その説明を省略する場合がある。
[Embodiment 1]
The physical condition detection system 10 of the present application shown in FIG. 1 includes a voice analysis server 12, a driver terminal 14, and an administrator terminal 16. The voice analysis server 12, the driver terminal 14, and the administrator terminal 16 are communicably connected by the network 18. The voice analysis server 12, the driver terminal 14, and the administrator terminal 16 are provided with means for communicating with each other, and the description thereof may be omitted.
 [音声分析サーバー]
 音声分析サーバー12は質問を記憶した質問記憶部20、モデル回答を記憶したモデル回答記憶部22、運転者に質問する質問送信部24、および運転者の体調を分析する音声分析部26を備える。
[Voice analysis server]
The voice analysis server 12 includes a question storage unit 20 that stores questions, a model answer storage unit 22 that stores model answers, a question transmission unit 24 that asks the driver a question, and a voice analysis unit 26 that analyzes the physical condition of the driver.
 運転者に対する質問が質問記憶部20に記憶される。質問は音声データである。質問の内容は任意であり、運転者から必ず回答される質問が好ましい。たとえば、運転者の名前または生年月日などが質問として挙げられる。質問は1つであってもよいし、複数であってもよい。 The question to the driver is stored in the question storage unit 20. The question is voice data. The content of the question is arbitrary, and it is preferable that the question is always answered by the driver. For example, the driver's name or date of birth may be a question. There may be one question or multiple questions.
 モデル回答記憶部22は予め運転者に対して質問しておき、運転者から得られたモデル回答を記憶しておく。モデル回答は運転者の発声した音声データである。たとえば、モデル回答28は音声による空気の振動波形であり(図2)、具体的にはモデル回答28がディジタル形式に変換されて記憶される。振幅は音声の大小によって異なり、音声の長さによって時間が異なり、波形が音声内容によって異なる。図2における振幅は電圧のデータとして記憶される。 The model answer storage unit 22 asks the driver a question in advance and stores the model answer obtained from the driver. The model answer is voice data uttered by the driver. For example, the model answer 28 is a vibration waveform of air by voice (FIG. 2), and specifically, the model answer 28 is converted into a digital format and stored. The amplitude differs depending on the volume of the voice, the time differs depending on the length of the voice, and the waveform differs depending on the content of the voice. The amplitude in FIG. 2 is stored as voltage data.
 質問から回答までの時間t1、回答を開始してから終了するまでの時間t2がモデル回答28のデータに含まれる。時間t1は質問開始から回答開始までの時間であってもよいし、質問終了から回答開始までの時間であってもよい。 The time t1 from the question to the answer and the time t2 from the start to the end of the answer are included in the data of the model answer 28. The time t1 may be the time from the start of the question to the start of the answer, or the time from the end of the question to the start of the answer.
 モデル回答28は同一特徴の波形ごとに音素30a~30fとして分解する。音素30a~30fごとの振幅B1、各音素30a~30fの波形がモデル回答のデータに含まれる。音素30a~30fごとの振幅B1は音の大小を示し、抑揚(イントネーションおよびアクセントを含む)のデータとなる。なお、図2では音素30fに対する振幅B1のみを示しているが、すべての音素30a~30fについて個別に振幅B1のデータを記憶する。 Model answer 28 is decomposed as phonemes 30a to 30f for each waveform having the same characteristics. The amplitude B1 for each phoneme 30a to 30f and the waveform of each phoneme 30a to 30f are included in the data of the model answer. The amplitude B1 for each of the phonemes 30a to 30f indicates the loudness of the sound and becomes the data of intonation (including intonation and accent). Although only the amplitude B1 with respect to the phoneme 30f is shown in FIG. 2, the data of the amplitude B1 is individually stored for all the phonemes 30a to 30f.
 各音素30a~30fの波形は音によって異なるため、各音素30a~30fの波形は何の音であるかを示すデータとなる。音素30a~30fの波形から音を特定し、各音素30a~30fが文字データとして記憶されてもよい。 Since the waveforms of the phonemes 30a to 30f differ depending on the sound, the waveforms of the phonemes 30a to 30f are data indicating what kind of sound it is. A sound may be specified from the waveforms of the phonemes 30a to 30f, and each phoneme 30a to 30f may be stored as character data.
 モデル回答28の中のデータであるt1、t2、B1は一定の許容範囲を含めるようにする。運転者がいつでもモデル回答28と全く同一に発声することは難しいためである。 The data in model answer 28, t1, t2, and B1, should include a certain allowable range. This is because it is difficult for the driver to utter exactly the same as model answer 28 at any time.
 質問送信部24は質問記憶部20に記憶された質問を運転者端末14に送信する。質問は一定時間に複数回送信される。一定時間は1日、半日、8時間など設定可能である。決められた時間間隔で質問が送信されてもよいし、定められた複数の時間に質問が送信されてもよい。たとえば質問送信部24は1時間に1回質問を送信する。運転者が運転業務中に複数回質問に回答することになる。なお、運転者の運転業務が短時間になった場合は質問を送信する回数が1回になる場合もある。複数の質問がある場合、1回に1つの質問を送信してもよいし、複数の質問を送信してもよい。 The question transmission unit 24 transmits the question stored in the question storage unit 20 to the driver terminal 14. Questions are sent multiple times in a given period of time. The fixed time can be set to one day, half a day, eight hours, or the like. Questions may be sent at fixed time intervals, or questions may be sent at multiple fixed times. For example, the question transmission unit 24 transmits a question once an hour. The driver will answer questions multiple times during the driving process. If the driver's driving work is shortened, the number of times the question is sent may be one. If there are multiple questions, one question may be sent at a time, or multiple questions may be sent.
 音声分析部26は運転者が運転業務中に回答した現実回答とモデル回答記憶部22に記憶されたモデル回答28とを比較し、その差から運転者の体調を分析する。質問から回答開始までの時間、回答を開始してから終了するまでの時間、回答する運転者の音声の抑揚、回答の内容が音声分析部26で判断される。 The voice analysis unit 26 compares the actual answer answered by the driver during the driving work with the model answer 28 stored in the model answer storage unit 22, and analyzes the physical condition of the driver from the difference. The voice analysis unit 26 determines the time from the question to the start of the answer, the time from the start to the end of the answer, the intonation of the driver's voice to answer, and the content of the answer.
 音声分析部26による判断手法は下記の(A)~(D)である。(A)音声分析部26は、現実回答における質問から回答開始までの時間を求め、その時間をモデル回答28の時間t1と比較する。現実回答の時間がモデル回答28の上記許容範囲内であれば、運転者の体調が正常と判断する。たとえば、図3に示すように、現実回答32aにおける質問から回答開始までの時間t1xがモデル回答28の時間t1よりも長く、モデル回答28の上記許容範囲内に入っていなければ運転者の体調が異常と判断する。 The judgment method by the voice analysis unit 26 is the following (A) to (D). (A) The voice analysis unit 26 obtains the time from the question in the actual answer to the start of the answer, and compares the time with the time t1 of the model answer 28. If the actual response time is within the above allowable range of the model response 28, it is determined that the driver's physical condition is normal. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, if the time t1x from the question to the start of the answer in the actual answer 32a is longer than the time t1 of the model answer 28 and is not within the above allowable range of the model answer 28, the driver's physical condition is not good. Judge as abnormal.
 質問開始から一定時間たっても回答が無い場合、現実回答32aの時間t1xが決定できない。そのため、音声分析部26は所定時間までに回答されなかった場合に運転者の体調が異常と判断する。その所定時間は上記許容範囲よりも長い時間とする。 If there is no answer within a certain period of time from the start of the question, the time t1x of the actual answer 32a cannot be determined. Therefore, the voice analysis unit 26 determines that the driver's physical condition is abnormal if the answer is not answered by the predetermined time. The predetermined time is longer than the above allowable range.
 (B)音声分析部26は現実回答の回答開始から終了までの時間を求め、その時間をモデル回答28の時間t2と比較する。現実回答の時間がモデル回答28の上記共用範囲内に入っていれば運転者の体調が正常と判断する。たとえば、図4に示すように、現実回答32bは音素30cと30d、音素30dと30eの間に音の無い時間がある。そのため、現実回答32bにおける回答を開始してから終了するまでの時間t2xが長くなり、モデル回答28の上記許容範囲内に入っていなければ運転者の体調が異常と判断する。 (B) The voice analysis unit 26 obtains the time from the start to the end of the answer of the actual answer, and compares the time with the time t2 of the model answer 28. If the actual answer time is within the above shared range of model answer 28, it is judged that the driver's physical condition is normal. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the reality answer 32b has a soundless time between the phonemes 30c and 30d and the phonemes 30d and 30e. Therefore, the time t2x from the start to the end of the answer in the actual answer 32b becomes long, and if it is not within the above allowable range of the model answer 28, it is judged that the driver's physical condition is abnormal.
 (C)現実回答を音素に分割し、音素ごとの波形の振幅を求める。その求めた各音素の振幅がモデル回答28の振幅B1の上記許容範囲内に入っていれば、運転者の体調が正常と判断する。たとえば、図5の現実回答32cは音素30cと30eの間にある音素30d'の振幅B1xがモデル回答28の音素30dの振幅B1よりも大きくなっている。現実回答32cにおける音素30d'の振幅B1xがモデル回答28の上記許容範囲内に入っていなければ運転者の体調が異常と判断する。 (C) Divide the actual answer into phonemes and obtain the amplitude of the waveform for each phoneme. If the obtained amplitude of each phoneme is within the above allowable range of the amplitude B1 of the model answer 28, it is determined that the driver's physical condition is normal. For example, in the reality answer 32c of FIG. 5, the amplitude B1x of the phoneme 30d'between the phonemes 30c and 30e is larger than the amplitude B1 of the phoneme 30d of the model answer 28. If the amplitude B1x of the phoneme 30d'in the actual answer 32c is not within the above allowable range of the model answer 28, it is judged that the driver's physical condition is abnormal.
 (D)モデル回答28と現実回答の各音素の波形を比較する。比較の結果、各波形が同じであれば運転者の体調が正常と判断する。波形そのものを比較するのではなく、波形から求められる音を文字データに変換し、文字データが一致するか否かで波形を比較してもよい。たとえば図2のモデル回答28の音素30dが図6の現実回答32dでは音素30gになっている。図6の現実回答32dは図2のモデル回答28と異なる波形になっており、音が異なるため、運転者の体調が異常と判断する。 (D) Compare the waveforms of each phoneme in the model answer 28 and the actual answer. As a result of comparison, if each waveform is the same, it is judged that the driver's physical condition is normal. Instead of comparing the waveforms themselves, the sound obtained from the waveform may be converted into character data, and the waveforms may be compared depending on whether or not the character data match. For example, the phoneme 30d of the model answer 28 in FIG. 2 is the phoneme 30g in the actual answer 32d of FIG. Since the actual response 32d in FIG. 6 has a waveform different from that in the model response 28 in FIG. 2 and the sound is different, it is determined that the driver's physical condition is abnormal.
 上記(A)~(D)の全てで運転者の体調が正常であれば最終的に運転者の体調が正常と判断する。少なくとも1つ運転者の体調が異常であれば運転者の体調が異常と判断する。 If the driver's physical condition is normal in all of the above (A) to (D), it is finally judged that the driver's physical condition is normal. If at least one driver's physical condition is abnormal, it is determined that the driver's physical condition is abnormal.
 分析結果はネットワーク18を介して管理者端末16に送信される。分析結果は管理者端末16のディスプレイに表示させる文字データであってもよいし、スピーカーから発せられる音声データであってもよい。分析結果は管理者端末16に送信する以外に運転者端末14に送信してもよい。 The analysis result is transmitted to the administrator terminal 16 via the network 18. The analysis result may be character data to be displayed on the display of the administrator terminal 16 or voice data emitted from the speaker. The analysis result may be transmitted to the driver terminal 14 in addition to being transmitted to the administrator terminal 16.

 [体調検知方法]
 次に本願の体調検知システム10を使用した体調検知方法について説明する。(1)運転者への質問を予め質問記憶部20に記憶しておく。さらに、運転者に予め質問し、運転者の回答をモデル回答28としてモデル回答記憶部22に記憶しておく。音声分析サーバー12から運転者端末14に質問データを送り、運転者端末14で回答してもらうことでモデル回答28を音声分析サーバー12で取得してもよい。
[Physical condition detection method]
Next, a physical condition detection method using the physical condition detection system 10 of the present application will be described. (1) A question to the driver is stored in the question storage unit 20 in advance. Further, a question is asked to the driver in advance, and the driver's answer is stored in the model answer storage unit 22 as the model answer 28. The model answer 28 may be acquired by the voice analysis server 12 by sending question data from the voice analysis server 12 to the driver terminal 14 and having the driver terminal 14 answer the question data.
 (2)運転者が運転時間中に質問送信部24が質問を運転者端末14に送信する。運転者端末14が起動して音声分析サーバー12と通信されたことを合図として、質問送信部24は質問の送信を開始する。送信は一定時間に複数回おこなわれる。運転者端末14の電源がオフになって音声分析サーバー12との通信が切断されると、質問送信部24は質問送信を停止する。 (2) The question transmitting unit 24 transmits a question to the driver terminal 14 during the driving time of the driver. The question transmission unit 24 starts transmitting the question with the signal that the driver terminal 14 is activated and communicates with the voice analysis server 12. Transmission is performed multiple times in a fixed time. When the power of the driver terminal 14 is turned off and the communication with the voice analysis server 12 is cut off, the question transmission unit 24 stops the question transmission.
 (3)運転者端末14は質問を受信するとスピーカー36で発し、マイク38で運転者の回答を集音する。運転者は質問を聞いて声で回答する。 (3) When the driver terminal 14 receives a question, the speaker 36 emits a sound, and the microphone 38 collects the driver's answer. The driver listens to the question and answers it aloud.
 (4)音声分析サーバー12が現実回答を受信すると、音声分析部26が現実回答を分析する。上記のように現実回答がモデル回答28の許容範囲の中に入っているか否か、現実回答の内容が正しいか否かでおこなう。現実回答がモデル回答28の許容範囲に入っていない、または現実回答の内容が不正確であれば分析結果を体調異常とする。現実回答がモデル回答28の許容範囲に入り、かつ現実回答の内容が正しければ分析結果を体調正常とする。 (4) When the voice analysis server 12 receives the real answer, the voice analysis unit 26 analyzes the real answer. As described above, it is determined whether or not the actual answer is within the permissible range of the model answer 28 and whether or not the content of the actual answer is correct. If the actual answer is not within the permissible range of the model answer 28, or if the content of the actual answer is inaccurate, the analysis result is regarded as abnormal. If the actual answer falls within the permissible range of the model answer 28 and the content of the actual answer is correct, the analysis result is regarded as normal.
 (5)分析結果は音声分析サーバー12から管理者端末16に送信される。管理者端末16に備えられるディスプレイで分析結果が表示される。管理者はディスプレイに表示される分析結果を見て、運転者の体調の変化を認知する。その分析結果が体調異常の場合に管理者から運転者に連絡をする。運転者が脳出血、脳梗塞または心筋梗塞などの病気を発症していれば乗務・運行の停止を指示し、運転者が眠気を催していれば休憩を取るように指示する。運転停止指示は両端末14、16によって行ってもよいし、他の携帯電話などを使用して行ってもよい。 (5) The analysis result is transmitted from the voice analysis server 12 to the administrator terminal 16. The analysis result is displayed on the display provided in the administrator terminal 16. The manager recognizes the change in the driver's physical condition by looking at the analysis result displayed on the display. If the analysis result is abnormal, the manager will contact the driver. If the driver has a disease such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction or myocardial infarction, he / she is instructed to stop the flight / operation, and if the driver is drowsy, he / she is instructed to take a break. The operation stop instruction may be given by both terminals 14 and 16, or may be given by using another mobile phone or the like.
 以上のように、本願は運転中の運転者の体調異常を検知して、運転者に運行・乗務の停止を指示できる。運転者の病気の発症または眠気などの運転者の体調変化を認知でき、車両事故を防止しやすくなっている。音声による質問と回答を行うため、運転に支障が無い。 As described above, the present application can detect an abnormality in the physical condition of the driver while driving and instruct the driver to stop the operation / crew. It is possible to recognize changes in the driver's physical condition such as the onset of illness or drowsiness of the driver, making it easier to prevent vehicle accidents. Since questions and answers are given by voice, there is no problem in driving.
 [実施形態2]
 図7に示すように、体調検知システム42の中で車両34の自動停止装置44が利用されてもよい。自動停止装置44への停止信号が管理者端末16の停止信号生成部46で生成される。分析結果が体調異常であった場合に、管理者が管理者端末16を操作することで停止信号生成部46が停止信号を生成し、管理者端末16から車両34の自動停止装置44に停止信号を送信する。停止信号によって車両34が自動的に停止する。管理者は、停止信号を送信する前に、停止指示部40によって運転者端末14に停止指示を送信してもよい。管理者と運転者が他の通信手段を用いて連絡を取り合って、異常がないか確認してもよい。運転者に本当に異常があった場合に停止信号を送信する。
[Embodiment 2]
As shown in FIG. 7, the automatic stop device 44 of the vehicle 34 may be used in the physical condition detection system 42. A stop signal to the automatic stop device 44 is generated by the stop signal generation unit 46 of the administrator terminal 16. When the analysis result is abnormal, the administrator operates the administrator terminal 16 to generate a stop signal, and the administrator terminal 16 generates a stop signal to the automatic stop device 44 of the vehicle 34. To send. The vehicle 34 is automatically stopped by the stop signal. The administrator may transmit a stop instruction to the driver terminal 14 by the stop instruction unit 40 before transmitting the stop signal. The manager and the driver may communicate with each other using other communication means to check for any abnormalities. Sends a stop signal when the driver really has something wrong.
 運転状況によってはすぐに回答できなかったり、声の抑揚が変化したりする場合がある。その場合に、運転者の体調が正常であるのにかかわらず、音声分析部26の分析結果が体調異常になる場合がある。そのため、運転者端末14は現実回答をキャンセルする信号を生成するキャンセル部48を備えてもよい。キャンセル部48で生成された信号は音声分析サーバー12に送信される。キャンセル部48は運転者が特定の音声をマイク38に向けて発することで、音声を分析してキャンセル信号を生成するものであってもよい。 Depending on the driving situation, it may not be possible to answer immediately or the intonation of the voice may change. In that case, the analysis result of the voice analysis unit 26 may become abnormal even though the driver's physical condition is normal. Therefore, the driver terminal 14 may include a canceling unit 48 that generates a signal for canceling the actual answer. The signal generated by the canceling unit 48 is transmitted to the voice analysis server 12. The canceling unit 48 may be one in which the driver emits a specific voice toward the microphone 38 to analyze the voice and generate a cancel signal.
