In the illustrated display example, the progress of the ICU patient's position change is displayed at an hourly measurement cycle, along with the time and position of the previous position change, and the time of the next scheduled position change. and posture are displayed.
 ここで、以下、数秒未満などの比較的に短い測定周期でリアルタイムにモニタリングされるバイタルサイン、モニタリング映像、並びに、呼吸数および呼吸パターンを、リアルタイム情報と称する。また、1時間間隔などの比較的に長い測定周期でインターバルを設けてモニタリングされる水分バランス、排液変化、鎮静度、および***変換を、インターバル情報と称する。 Here, hereinafter, the vital signs, monitoring images, respiration rate and respiration pattern that are monitored in real time with a relatively short measurement period such as less than several seconds are referred to as real-time information. Also, water balance, drainage change, sedation level, and postural change monitored at relatively long measurement intervals such as one-hour intervals are referred to as interval information.
 図2に示すように、モニタリング画面21では、リアルタイム情報に対応するバイタルサインモニタリング画像32、モニタリング映像33、および呼吸モニタリング画像34が、リアルタイム情報表示領域41にまとめて表示される。また、モニタリング画面21では、インターバル情報に対応する水分バランスモニタリング画像35、尿・排液モニタリング画像36、鎮静度モニタリング画像37、および***変換モニタリング画像38が、インターバル情報表示領域42にまとめて表示される。 As shown in FIG. 2, on the monitoring screen 21, a vital signs monitoring image 32, a monitoring video 33, and a respiration monitoring image 34 corresponding to real-time information are collectively displayed in a real-time information display area 41. In addition, on the monitoring screen 21, a water balance monitoring image 35, a urine/discharge monitoring image 36, a sedation monitoring image 37, and a postural change monitoring image 38 corresponding to the interval information are collectively displayed in the interval information display area 42. be.
 また、モニタリング画面21には、看護師が未確認となっている更新情報がある場合には、未読マーク43が表示されて、未確認の更新情報があることが通知される。例えば、リアルタイム情報およびインターバル情報に特定の更新(所定の閾値以上の大きな変化が検出されたような更新)があった場合に、未読マーク43が表示される。図示する表示例では、尿・排液モニタリング画像36に未読マーク43が表示されており、看護師に対する通知が必要となるような変化が尿または排液の色や量に生じたことが通知される。例えば、看護師が更新情報を確認すると、更新情報の内容を看護師が確認したことを示す確認情報(看護師が更新内容を確認した時刻や、看護師の名前、更新情報の内容)が、自動的に、図3の記録部53のEMR(Electronic Medical Record)に記録される。 Also, on the monitoring screen 21, if there is update information that has not been confirmed by the nurse, an unread mark 43 is displayed to notify that there is unconfirmed update information. For example, the unread mark 43 is displayed when there is a specific update (an update in which a large change equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold is detected) in real-time information and interval information. In the illustrated display example, an unread mark 43 is displayed on the urine/effluent monitoring image 36 to notify that a change in the color or amount of urine or effluent requiring notification to the nurse has occurred. be. For example, when a nurse confirms the update information, the confirmation information indicating that the nurse has confirmed the contents of the update information (the time the nurse confirmed the update contents, the name of the nurse, the contents of the update information) is It is automatically recorded in the EMR (Electronic Medical Record) of the recording unit 53 in FIG.
 このようなモニタリング画面21によって、看護師は、ICU患者の属性情報に加えて、リアルタイム情報およびインターバル情報を一括で確認することができる。また、未読マーク43を表示することによって、未確認の更新情報があることが明確にすることができ、看護師が更新情報を見落とすリスクを回避することができる。 With such a monitoring screen 21, nurses can collectively check real-time information and interval information in addition to ICU patient attribute information. In addition, by displaying the unread mark 43, it is possible to clarify that there is unconfirmed update information, thereby avoiding the risk of the nurse overlooking the update information.
 なお、モニタリング画面21では、ICU患者に必要となるモニタリングの項目に応じて、バイタルサインモニタリング画像32、モニタリング映像33、呼吸モニタリング画像34、水分バランスモニタリング画像35、尿・排液モニタリング画像36、鎮静度モニタリング画像37、および***変換モニタリング画像38の表示が自動調整される。例えば、重要となるモニタリングの項目を大きく表示したり、不要なモニタリングの項目を非表示にしたりすることができる。例えば、モニタリングシステム11を構成するセンシング機器(カメラやセンサなど)によって、これらの項目を柔軟に入れ替えてもよい。 In addition, on the monitoring screen 21, depending on the items of monitoring required for the ICU patient, a vital signs monitoring image 32, a monitoring image 33, a respiration monitoring image 34, a water balance monitoring image 35, a urine/discharge monitoring image 36, a sedation The display of the degree monitoring image 37 and the postural change monitoring image 38 is automatically adjusted. For example, important monitoring items can be displayed in a large size, and unnecessary monitoring items can be hidden. For example, these items may be flexibly replaced depending on sensing devices (cameras, sensors, etc.) configuring the monitoring system 11 .
 また、バイタルサイン、モニタリング映像、並びに、呼吸数および呼吸パターンのリアルタイム情報は、看護師が指定した閾値や時間間隔に応じて、バイタルサインモニタリング画像32、モニタリング映像33、呼吸モニタリング画像34に通知が表示されるようにしてもよい。また、リアルタイム情報およびインターバル情報ともに、通知には複数の段階があり、急変の際には強い通知、定時確認の際には弱い通知が行われる。このとき、それぞれの通知は、バイタルサインモニタリング画像32、モニタリング映像33、呼吸モニタリング画像34、水分バランスモニタリング画像35、尿・排液モニタリング画像36、鎮静度モニタリング画像37、および***変換モニタリング画像38それぞれに行われる。これにより、看護師は、どの項目を確認すべきかを容易に認識することができる。 In addition, real-time information on vital signs, monitoring images, and respiration rate and respiration pattern is notified to the vital signs monitoring image 32, monitoring image 33, and respiration monitoring image 34 according to thresholds and time intervals specified by the nurse. may be displayed. In addition, both real-time information and interval information have a plurality of stages of notification, and strong notification is performed in the event of a sudden change, and weak notification is performed in the case of scheduled confirmation. At this time, each notification includes a vital signs monitoring image 32, a monitoring image 33, a respiration monitoring image 34, a water balance monitoring image 35, a urine/discharge monitoring image 36, a sedation monitoring image 37, and a postural change monitoring image 38, respectively. is performed on This allows the nurse to easily recognize which items should be checked.
 例えば、それぞれの画像の枠が光ったり、枠の中に赤い丸が表示されたりするように、視覚的な変化によって通知が行われる。また、後述する図8の未読マーク43Aのように、未読通知件数が数字で表されるようにすることで、看護師が、未確認事項の種類および総数を容易に把握することができる。 For example, notifications are made through visual changes, such as the frame of each image shining or a red circle being displayed within the frame. In addition, by displaying the number of unread notices numerically like the unread mark 43A in FIG. 8, which will be described later, the nurse can easily grasp the types and total number of unconfirmed items.
 また、これらの通知は、表示デバイス15のモニタリング画面21に表示する他、例えば、看護師が持ち運んでいる携帯端末(例えば、スマートフォンのアプリ)によって行われるようにしてもよい。 In addition to being displayed on the monitoring screen 21 of the display device 15, these notifications may also be made, for example, by a mobile terminal (for example, a smartphone application) carried by the nurse.
 <情報処理装置の構成例>
 図3は、情報処理装置16の構成例を示すブロック図である。
<Configuration example of information processing device>
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the information processing device 16. As shown in FIG.
 図3に示すように、情報処理装置16は、信号取得部51、メモリ52、記録部53、中央制御部54、表示制御部55、およびデータ処理部56を備えて構成される。 As shown in FIG. 3, the information processing device 16 includes a signal acquisition unit 51, a memory 52, a recording unit 53, a central control unit 54, a display control unit 55, and a data processing unit 56.
 信号取得部51は、バイタルセンサ12から供給されるバイタルサイン測定信号、撮像システム13から供給される映像信号、ミリ波レーダ14から供給されるミリ波測定信号を取得して、中央制御部54に供給する。また、信号取得部51は、例えば、タッチパネルやボタンなどの操作入力部(図示せず)に対して看護師による操作が行われると、その操作に応じた操作信号を取得して中央制御部54に供給する。 The signal acquisition unit 51 acquires the vital sign measurement signal supplied from the vital sensor 12, the video signal supplied from the imaging system 13, and the millimeter wave measurement signal supplied from the millimeter wave radar 14, and sends them to the central control unit 54. supply. Further, for example, when an operation input unit (not shown) such as a touch panel or a button is operated by a nurse, the signal acquisition unit 51 acquires an operation signal corresponding to the operation, and the central control unit 54 supply to
 メモリ52は、ROM(Read Only Memory)やRAM(Random Access Memory)などにより構成され、中央制御部54が制御を行うときに一時的に記憶することが必要となる各種のデータを記憶する。 The memory 52 is composed of ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), etc., and stores various data that need to be temporarily stored when the central control unit 54 performs control.
 記録部53は、例えば、HDD(Hard Disk Drive)などにより構成され、中央制御部54による制御に従って、モニタリングシステム11において残しておく必要がある情報をEMRに記録する。 The recording unit 53 is composed of, for example, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or the like, and records information that needs to be retained in the monitoring system 11 in the EMR under the control of the central control unit 54.
 中央制御部54は、CPU(Central Processing Unit)により構成され、情報処理装置16の各ブロックを制御する。例えば、中央制御部54は、信号取得部51から供給されるバイタルサイン測定信号を記録部53に記録させるとともに、表示制御部55に供給してバイタルサインモニタリング画像32にバイタルサインを表示させる。また、中央制御部54は、信号取得部51から供給される映像信号を、表示制御部55に供給してモニタリング映像33にICU患者の映像を表示させる。また、中央制御部54は、信号取得部51から供給される映像信号およびミリ波測定信号をデータ処理部56に供給して、ICU患者のモニタリングに必要な各種の解析を行わせ、それらの解析結果を表示制御部55に供給する。 The central control unit 54 is composed of a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and controls each block of the information processing device 16 . For example, the central control unit 54 causes the recording unit 53 to record the vital signs measurement signal supplied from the signal acquiring unit 51 and supplies the display control unit 55 with the vital signs monitoring image 32 to display the vital signs. The central control unit 54 also supplies the video signal supplied from the signal acquisition unit 51 to the display control unit 55 to display the image of the ICU patient on the monitoring image 33 . In addition, the central control unit 54 supplies the video signal and the millimeter wave measurement signal supplied from the signal acquisition unit 51 to the data processing unit 56 to perform various analyzes necessary for monitoring the ICU patient. The result is supplied to the display control section 55 .
 表示制御部55は、中央制御部54による制御に従って、表示デバイス15に対する表示を制御し、モニタリング画面21を表示させる。 The display control unit 55 controls the display on the display device 15 and displays the monitoring screen 21 according to the control by the central control unit 54 .
 データ処理部56は、呼吸解析部61、液体状態解析部62、鎮静度解析部63、および***変換解析部64によって構成される。 The data processing unit 56 is composed of a respiration analysis unit 61, a liquid state analysis unit 62, a sedation analysis unit 63, and a postural transformation analysis unit 64.
 呼吸解析部61は、映像信号およびミリ波測定信号を用いて、ICU患者の呼吸数および呼吸パターンを非接触で解析する。一般的に、ICU患者は、人工呼吸器や酸素マスクなどを利用した呼吸管理を受けていることが多く、呼吸数などは既にモニタリングされているケースが多いと想定される。しかしながら、胸郭や頸部筋肉に顕在化されるような呼吸パターンは現状目視確認となっている。これに対し、非接触で常時モニタリングすることでICU患者の容態を容易に管理することができるようになる。 The respiration analysis unit 61 uses video signals and millimeter wave measurement signals to non-contactly analyze the respiration rate and respiration pattern of ICU patients. In general, ICU patients often receive respiratory management using artificial respirators and oxygen masks, and it is assumed that there are many cases in which the respiratory rate is already being monitored. However, breathing patterns manifested in the ribcage and neck muscles are currently visually confirmed. On the other hand, constant non-contact monitoring makes it easier to manage the condition of ICU patients.
 そこで、呼吸解析部61は、映像信号に対する画像認識処理を行って、ICU患者の所定部位(例えば、胸部や頸部など)を認識して測定対象を抽出し、その測定対象の動き量をミリ波測定信号から検出する。例えば、ICU患者の体が動いた場合、呼吸解析部61映像信号に基づいて測定対象を抽出し直すことで、ミリ波測定信号のアーチファクト補正を行うことができる。そして、呼吸解析部61は、ミリ波測定信号の変動に基づいて、即ち、呼吸に伴うICU患者の胸部や頸部など変動に基づいて、ICU患者の呼吸数および呼吸パターンを解析することができる。 Therefore, the respiratory analysis unit 61 performs image recognition processing on the video signal, recognizes a predetermined part of the ICU patient (for example, the chest and neck), extracts the measurement target, and measures the amount of movement of the measurement target in millimeters. wave measurement signal. For example, when the body of the ICU patient moves, artifact correction of the millimeter wave measurement signal can be performed by re-extracting the measurement target based on the video signal of the respiratory analysis unit 61 . Then, the respiration analysis unit 61 can analyze the respiration rate and respiration pattern of the ICU patient based on the variation of the millimeter wave measurement signal, that is, based on the variation of the ICU patient's chest and neck associated with respiration. .
 例えば、ミリ波レーダ14のみを利用した場合には、周囲環境を認識することが難しくICU患者の体動や看護師の介入によるアーチファクトや、測定対象以外の運動を誤検出することなどが懸念される。これに対し、モニタリングシステム11は、撮像システム13およびミリ波レーダ14を利用することで、呼吸解析部61が、映像信号に基づいて測定対象を抽出するこができ、このような誤検出を回避することができる。従って、モニタリングシステム11では、胸郭変動パターンの検出精度の向上を図ることができる。 For example, if only the millimeter-wave radar 14 is used, it is difficult to recognize the surrounding environment, and artifacts due to body movements of ICU patients and interventions by nurses, and erroneous detection of movements other than those to be measured may occur. be. On the other hand, in the monitoring system 11, the imaging system 13 and the millimeter wave radar 14 are used so that the respiratory analysis unit 61 can extract the measurement target based on the video signal, thereby avoiding such erroneous detection. can do. Therefore, in the monitoring system 11, it is possible to improve the detection accuracy of the thorax variation pattern.
 なお、本実施の形態では、撮像システム13およびミリ波レーダ14を用いてICU患者の呼吸を非接触で解析する手法について説明したが、それ以外の手法を用いてもよい。例えば、カラー画像とともに奥行き情報を取得可能なRGB-Dカメラを用いて、努力呼吸時に顕出する頸部筋肉の運動を測定し、その測定信号を解析して呼吸を評価してもよい。なお、RGB-Dカメラの波長レンジでは布団を透過することができないため、頸部筋肉を測定対象として測定が行われる。 In addition, in the present embodiment, a method for non-contact analysis of respiration of an ICU patient using the imaging system 13 and the millimeter wave radar 14 has been described, but other methods may be used. For example, an RGB-D camera capable of acquiring depth information as well as color images may be used to measure neck muscle movement that appears during forced breathing, and the measurement signal may be analyzed to evaluate respiration. In addition, since the wavelength range of the RGB-D camera cannot penetrate the futon, the measurement is performed with the neck muscles as the measurement target.
 そして、呼吸解析部61により解析されたICU患者の呼吸数および呼吸パターンの解析結果は、中央制御部54を介して表示制御部55に供給され、モニタリング画面21の呼吸モニタリング画像34に表示される。 The analysis results of the respiratory rate and respiratory pattern of the ICU patient analyzed by the respiratory analysis unit 61 are supplied to the display control unit 55 via the central control unit 54 and displayed on the respiratory monitoring image 34 of the monitoring screen 21. .
 ここで、ICU患者の呼吸を非接触でセンシングする状況は、ICU患者が自発呼吸することができるケース、および、ICU患者に人工呼吸器が装着されているケースが想定される。 Here, the situations in which the ICU patient's breathing is sensed without contact are assumed to be cases in which the ICU patient can breathe spontaneously, and cases in which the ICU patient is fitted with a ventilator.
 例えば、ICU患者が自発呼吸することができるケースでは、映像信号に基づいた画像認識処理を行って、ICU患者の呼吸に関する所定部位(例えば、胸部や頸部など)を認識して、ROI(Region of Interest)を設定する。そして、ROI内の動き量をミリ波レーダ14やRGB-Dカメラを利用して取得し、ICU患者の体動がある場合位は、映像信号に基づいた画像認識処理によってアーチファクト補正を行って、ICU患者の呼吸数および呼吸パターンを解析することができる。このように、測定対象に対してROIを設定することで、出力データの削減、高速化、および低消費電力化を図ることができる。さらに、様々なラインがICU患者に付けられている場合でも、測定対象に対してROIを設定することで、外乱影響を軽減して測定対象を確実に測定することができる。 For example, in the case where an ICU patient can breathe spontaneously, image recognition processing is performed based on the video signal to recognize the predetermined parts related to breathing of the ICU patient (for example, the chest and neck) and ROI (Region of Interest). Then, the amount of motion in the ROI is acquired using the millimeter wave radar 14 and the RGB-D camera, and if there is body motion of the ICU patient, artifact correction is performed by image recognition processing based on the video signal, Respiratory rates and patterns of ICU patients can be analyzed. By setting the ROI for the object to be measured in this way, it is possible to reduce the amount of output data, increase the speed, and reduce power consumption. Furthermore, even if various lines are attached to the ICU patient, by setting the ROI for the measurement target, the influence of disturbance can be reduced and the measurement target can be reliably measured.
 また、ICU患者に人工呼吸器が装着されているケースでは、人工呼吸器の設定を映像信号や外部入力から取得し、ICU患者が自発呼吸することができるケースと同様に、ICU患者の呼吸数および呼吸パターンを解析する。そして、この解析結果に基づいて、FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)や機械学習などを利用して、自発呼吸と人工呼吸とを分離することができる。例えば、自発呼吸が残っている場合や自発呼吸が戻ってくる場合には、自発呼吸と人工呼吸とを区別することで、人工呼吸の離脱をより安全に行うことができる。 In addition, in the case where the ICU patient is fitted with a ventilator, the setting of the ventilator is acquired from the video signal or external input, and the respiratory rate of the ICU patient is calculated as in the case where the ICU patient can breathe spontaneously. and analyze breathing patterns. Then, based on this analysis result, FFT (Fast Fourier Transform), machine learning, etc. can be used to separate spontaneous respiration and artificial respiration. For example, when spontaneous respiration remains or spontaneous respiration returns, weaning from artificial respiration can be performed more safely by distinguishing between spontaneous respiration and artificial respiration.
 液体状態解析部62は、映像信号を用いて、ICU患者の水分バランス、尿色、およびドレーン排液色を解析する。上述したように、撮像システム13のRGBカメラでは輸液および排液をモニタリングするための映像が撮像されている。例えば、1台目のRGBカメラで、輸液ポンプやシリンジなどの周辺が撮像され、2台目のRGBカメラで、排液チャンバーの周辺が撮像される。そして、液体状態解析部62は、ICU患者に摂取される輸液をモニタリングする映像信号を解析して輸液量を求め、ICU患者から排出される排液(尿およびドレーン)をモニタリングする映像信号を解析して排液量を求めて、輸液量および排液量の差分に基づいて患者の水分バランスを取得することができる。 The liquid state analysis unit 62 uses video signals to analyze the ICU patient's water balance, urine color, and drain discharge color. As described above, the RGB camera of the imaging system 13 captures images for monitoring the infusion and drainage. For example, the first RGB camera captures an image of the periphery of an infusion pump, a syringe, and the like, and the second RGB camera captures the periphery of a drainage chamber. Then, the liquid state analysis unit 62 analyzes the video signal for monitoring the infusion ingested by the ICU patient to obtain the infusion volume, and analyzes the video signal for monitoring the drainage (urine and drain) discharged from the ICU patient. to determine the drainage volume, and the patient's fluid balance can be obtained based on the difference between the infusion volume and the drainage volume.
 また、液体状態解析部62は、輸液をモニタリングする映像信号に対する画像認識(例えば、光学文字認識)を行って、輸液パックに印字されている薬の名称および流量を認識することができる。そして、液体状態解析部62は、認識した薬の名称および流量を、記録部53のEMRに記録させることができる。 In addition, the liquid state analysis unit 62 can perform image recognition (for example, optical character recognition) on the video signal for monitoring the infusion to recognize the name and flow rate of the medicine printed on the infusion pack. The liquid state analysis unit 62 can record the name and flow rate of the recognized medicine in the EMR of the recording unit 53 .
 例えば、ICU患者の容態安定において水分バランスの管理は非常に重要である。そのため、摂取量と排液量を手動で計算して記録する作業と比較して、この作業が自動化されることによって業務効率が向上される。 For example, managing fluid balance is extremely important in stabilizing the condition of ICU patients. Therefore, compared to manually calculating and recording intake and drainage volumes, automation of this task will improve operational efficiency.
 そして、液体状態解析部62により解析されたICU患者の水分バランス、尿色、およびドレーン排液色の解析結果は、中央制御部54を介して表示制御部55に供給され、モニタリング画面21の水分バランスモニタリング画像35および尿・排液モニタリング画像36に表示される。なお、液体状態解析部62は、例えば、排液の色に基づいてICU患者が発症している可能性のある症状を分析し、その分析結果をモニタリング画面21に表示することで看護師に提示してもよい。 The analysis results of the ICU patient's water balance, urine color, and drain discharge color analyzed by the liquid state analysis unit 62 are supplied to the display control unit 55 via the central control unit 54, and the water content of the monitoring screen 21 is displayed. It is displayed on the balance monitoring image 35 and the urine/discharge monitoring image 36 . In addition, the liquid state analysis unit 62, for example, analyzes the symptoms that the ICU patient may be developing based on the color of the drainage, and presents the analysis result to the nurse by displaying it on the monitoring screen 21. You may
 鎮静度解析部63は、映像信号を用いて、ICU患者の鎮静度を解析する。例えば、鎮静度解析部63は、鎮静度評価の指標であるRASS(Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale)を、ICU患者の表情や、行動、視線などの外観を解析したり、看護師がICU患者に対して行う受け答えの内容となる音声を解析したりすることで、自動的に演算により求めることができる。 The sedation analysis unit 63 uses video signals to analyze the sedation of ICU patients. For example, the sedation analysis unit 63 uses RASS (Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale), which is an index of sedation evaluation, to analyze the appearance of ICU patients such as facial expressions, behaviors, and gazes. By analyzing the voice that is the content of the answer given by the user, it is possible to automatically calculate it.
 そして、鎮静度解析部63により解析されたICU患者の鎮静度の解析結果は、中央制御部54を介して表示制御部55に供給され、モニタリング画面21の鎮静度モニタリング画像37に表示される。 The analysis result of the sedation level of the ICU patient analyzed by the sedation level analysis unit 63 is supplied to the display control unit 55 via the central control unit 54 and displayed on the sedation monitoring image 37 of the monitoring screen 21.
 ***変換解析部64は、映像信号を用いて、ICU患者の***変換を解析する。例えば、***変換解析部64は、公知技術である機械学習(Open Poseなど)による解析手法を用いて映像信号を解析し、ICU患者または看護師の姿勢を推定することで、***変換が実施されたかどうかを判別することができる。 The postural change analysis unit 64 uses the video signal to analyze the postural change of the ICU patient. For example, the postural change analysis unit 64 analyzes the video signal using an analysis method based on machine learning (Open Pose, etc.), which is a known technology, and estimates the posture of the ICU patient or nurse, so that the postural change is performed. It is possible to determine whether
 そして、***変換解析部64により解析されたICU患者の***変換の解析結果は、中央制御部54を介して表示制御部55に供給され、モニタリング画面21の***変換モニタリング画像38に表示される。 The analysis result of the ICU patient's postural change analyzed by the postural change analysis unit 64 is supplied to the display control unit 55 via the central control unit 54 and displayed on the postural change monitoring image 38 of the monitoring screen 21.
 以上のように情報処理装置16は構成されており、図2に示したモニタリング画面21を表示デバイス15に表示して看護師に確認させ、自動的に、看護師による確認内容を記録部53のEMRに記録することができる。これにより、看護師は、ICU患者を効果的にモニタリングすることができ、モニタリング業務の効率化によって、看護師の業務負担の軽減を図ることができる。 The information processing device 16 is configured as described above, and the monitoring screen 21 shown in FIG. Can be recorded in EMR. As a result, nurses can effectively monitor ICU patients, and by improving the efficiency of monitoring work, it is possible to reduce the workload of nurses.

The supplied millimeter wave measurement signal is acquired and supplied to the central control unit 54 . The central control unit 54 supplies the video signal and the millimeter wave measurement signal to the data processing unit 56 .

 ステップS17において、データ処理部56では、***変換解析部64が、ステップS11で中央制御部54から供給された映像信号を用いて、上述したようにICU患者の***変換を解析し、その解析結果を中央制御部54に供給する。中央制御部54は、ICU患者の***変換の解析結果を記録部53に記録させるとともに、表示制御部55に供給する。表示制御部55は、表示デバイス15に対する表示を制御し、モニタリング画面21に表示されている***変換モニタリング画像38における***変換の表示を更新する。 In step S17, in the data processing unit 56, the postural change analysis unit 64 uses the video signal supplied from the central control unit 54 in step S11 to analyze the postural change of the ICU patient as described above. is supplied to the central control unit 54 . The central control unit 54 causes the recording unit 53 to record the analysis result of the postural change of the ICU patient, and supplies the result to the display control unit 55 . The display control unit 55 controls the display on the display device 15 and updates the display of the postural change in the postural change monitoring image 38 displayed on the monitoring screen 21 .
 ステップS18において、中央制御部54は、バイタルサイン、モニタリング映像、呼吸数および呼吸パターン、水分バランス、尿色、ドレーン排液色、鎮静度、並びに、***変換について、看護師に対する通知が必要となる変化が生じた情報更新があったか否かを判定する。 In step S18, the central control unit 54 needs to notify the nurse of vital signs, monitoring images, respiration rate and respiration pattern, water balance, urine color, drain color, sedation level, and postural change. It is determined whether or not there has been an information update with a change.
 ステップS18において、中央制御部54が、看護師に対する通知が必要となる変化が生じた情報更新がないと判定した場合、処理はステップS11に戻り、以下、同様の処理が繰り返して行われる。一方、ステップS18において、中央制御部54が、看護師に対する通知が必要となる変化が生じた情報更新があると判定した場合、処理はステップS19に進む。 In step S18, if the central control unit 54 determines that there is no information update with a change requiring notification to the nurse, the process returns to step S11, and the same process is repeated thereafter. On the other hand, if the central control unit 54 determines in step S18 that there is an information update that causes a change requiring notification to the nurse, the process proceeds to step S19.
 ステップS19において、中央制御部54は、バイタルサイン、モニタリング映像、呼吸数および呼吸パターン、水分バランス、尿色、ドレーン排液色、鎮静度、並びに、***変換のうち、情報更新があると判断された対象を表示制御部55に通知する。表示制御部55は、その通知された対象に応じて、バイタルサインモニタリング画像32、モニタリング映像33、呼吸モニタリング画像34、水分バランスモニタリング画像35、尿・排液モニタリング画像36、鎮静度モニタリング画像37、および***変換モニタリング画像38のいずれかに、未確認の更新情報があることを通知する未読マーク43を表示させる。 In step S19, the central control unit 54 determines that there is information update among vital signs, monitoring images, respiration rate and respiration pattern, water balance, urine color, drain color, sedation level, and postural change. The target to be displayed is notified to the display control unit 55 . The display control unit 55 displays the vital signs monitoring image 32, the monitoring video 33, the respiration monitoring image 34, the water balance monitoring image 35, the urine/discharge monitoring image 36, the sedation monitoring image 37, and the postural change monitoring image 38, an unread mark 43 notifying that there is unconfirmed update information is displayed.
 そして、看護師が未読マーク43に対する操作(例えば、表示デバイス15のタッチパネルに対するタッチ)を行うと、その操作信号を信号取得部51が取得して中央制御部54に供給する。これに応じて、中央制御部54は、表示制御部55に対する制御を行って、更新情報の内容をモニタリング画面21に表示させる。 Then, when the nurse performs an operation on the unread mark 43 (for example, touches the touch panel of the display device 15), the signal acquisition unit 51 acquires the operation signal and supplies it to the central control unit 54. In response, the central control unit 54 controls the display control unit 55 to display the contents of the update information on the monitoring screen 21 .
 ステップS20において、中央制御部54は、ステップS19でモニタリング画面21に表示させた更新情報の内容を看護師に確認させたことを示す確認情報を記録部53に記録させる。その後、処理はステップS11に戻り、以下、同様の処理が繰り返して行われる。なお、ステップS12乃至14の処理は、信号取得部51が信号を取得するタイミングに応じた比較的に短い測定周期で行われ、ステップS15乃至17の処理は、1時間間隔などの比較的に長い測定周期で行われる。 In step S20, the central control unit 54 causes the recording unit 53 to record confirmation information indicating that the nurse has confirmed the content of the update information displayed on the monitoring screen 21 in step S19. After that, the process returns to step S11, and the same process is repeated thereafter. Note that the processing of steps S12 to 14 is performed at relatively short measurement intervals corresponding to the timing at which the signal acquisition unit 51 acquires signals, and the processing of steps S15 to 17 is performed at relatively long intervals such as one hour intervals. This is done at the measurement cycle.
 以上のように、情報処理装置16がモニタリング処理を実行することよって、モニタリングシステム11は、看護師に対する通知が必要となる変化が生じた情報更新があった場合に未読マーク43によって通知し、看護師が更新情報の内容を確認するだけで、確認情報を自動的に記録することができる。これにより、モニタリングシステム11は、モニタリング業務の効率化を図ることができる。 As described above, when the information processing device 16 executes the monitoring process, the monitoring system 11 notifies the nurse with the unread mark 43 when there is an information update that causes a change requiring notification to the nurse. Only by confirming the contents of the update information by the teacher, the confirmation information can be automatically recorded. Thereby, the monitoring system 11 can improve the efficiency of the monitoring work.
 図5は、***変換があった際の作業確認処理について説明するフローチャートである。 FIG. 5 is a flow chart explaining the work confirmation process when there is a position change.
 ステップS31において、***変換解析部64は、公知技術である機械学習(Open Poseなど)による解析手法を用いて映像信号を解析し、ICU患者または看護師の姿勢を推定する。 In step S31, the postural transformation analysis unit 64 analyzes the video signal using an analysis technique based on machine learning (Open Pose, etc.), which is a known technique, and estimates the posture of the ICU patient or nurse.
 ステップS32において、***変換解析部64は、ステップS31で推定した姿勢に基づいて、ICU患者の***変換があったか否かを判定する。 In step S32, the postural change analysis unit 64 determines whether or not the ICU patient's postural change has occurred based on the posture estimated in step S31.
 ステップS32において、***変換解析部64が、ICU患者の***変換がなかったと判定した場合、処理はステップS31に戻り、以下、同様の処理が繰り返される。一方、ステップS32において、***変換解析部64が、ICU患者の***変換があったと判定した場合、処理はステップS33に進む。 In step S32, if the postural change analysis unit 64 determines that the ICU patient's postural change has not occurred, the process returns to step S31, and the same process is repeated thereafter. On the other hand, in step S32, when the postural change analysis unit 64 determines that the ICU patient's postural change has occurred, the process proceeds to step S33.
 ステップS33において、***変換解析部64は、ICU患者の***変換があったと判定したことを中央制御部54に通知する。中央制御部54は、図6に示すような作業内容確認画面22をモニタリング画面21に重畳して表示するように、表示制御部55に対する制御を行う。図6に示すように、作業内容確認画面22には、ICU患者の***変換があったと判定された時刻と、***変換の有無を確認するためのユーザインタフェース(Yes/No)が表示される。 In step S33, the postural change analysis unit 64 notifies the central control unit 54 that it has determined that the ICU patient's postural change has occurred. The central control unit 54 controls the display control unit 55 so that the work content confirmation screen 22 as shown in FIG. 6 is superimposed on the monitoring screen 21 and displayed. As shown in FIG. 6, the work content confirmation screen 22 displays the time when it was determined that the ICU patient's position was changed, and a user interface (Yes/No) for confirming the presence or absence of the position change.
 そして、看護師が作業内容確認画面22のユーザインタフェース(Yes/No)に対する操作(例えば、表示デバイス15のタッチパネルに対するタッチ)を行うと、その操作信号を信号取得部51が取得して中央制御部54に供給し、中央制御部54は看護師による操作内容を認識する。 Then, when the nurse operates the user interface (Yes/No) of the work content confirmation screen 22 (for example, touches the touch panel of the display device 15), the signal acquisition unit 51 acquires the operation signal and the central control unit 54, and the central control unit 54 recognizes the contents of the operation by the nurse.
 ステップS34において、中央制御部54は、看護師による作業内容確認画面22に対する操作内容とともに、ICU患者の***変換の作業内容(***変換の実施時刻や***など)を記録部53のEMRに記録させる。 In step S34, the central control unit 54 causes the EMR of the recording unit 53 to record the operation details of the work content confirmation screen 22 by the nurse and the work details of the postural change of the ICU patient (postural change implementation time, postural position, etc.). .
 ステップS35において、中央制御部54は、表示制御部55に対する制御を行い、表示デバイス15のモニタリング画面21に表示されている***変換モニタリング画像38における***変換の表示を更新する。その後、処理はステップS31に戻り、以下、同様の処理が繰り返して行われる。 In step S<b>35 , the central control unit 54 controls the display control unit 55 to update the posture change display in the posture change monitoring image 38 displayed on the monitoring screen 21 of the display device 15 . After that, the process returns to step S31, and the same process is repeated thereafter.
 以上のような作業確認処理を行うことによって、モニタリング業務の効率化を図ることができる。特に、ICU患者は寝たきりである場合が多く、褥瘡防止の目的で頻繁に***変換する必要があり、作業確認処理によってICU患者の***変換の作業内容をEMRに自動的に記録することで、看護師の負担を大幅に軽減することができる。 By performing the above work confirmation process, it is possible to improve the efficiency of monitoring work. In particular, ICU patients are often bedridden and need to change positions frequently for the purpose of preventing pressure ulcers. The burden on teachers can be greatly reduced.
 <モニタリング画面の第2の表示例>
 図7は、表示デバイス15に表示されるモニタリング画面の第2の表示例を示す図である。
<Second display example of monitoring screen>
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a second display example of the monitoring screen displayed on the display device 15. As shown in FIG.
 例えば、モニタリングシステム11では、看護師が、複数のICU患者を1台の表示デバイス15でモニタリングするような利用が想定され、表示デバイス15には、図7に示すようなモニタリング画面23が表示される。モニタリング画面23では、基本的に、複数の患者名とともに重要度の高い情報であるバイタルサインモニタリング画像32がそれぞれ並んで表示される。そして、看護師は、モニタリング画面23に表示されているアイコン71乃至76に対する操作を行うことで、アイコン71乃至76それぞれに対応する画像を、バイタルサインモニタリング画像32から切り替えて表示させることができる。 For example, the monitoring system 11 is assumed to be used by a nurse to monitor multiple ICU patients with one display device 15, and the display device 15 displays a monitoring screen 23 as shown in FIG. be. On the monitoring screen 23, basically, vital sign monitoring images 32, which are highly important information, are displayed side by side along with a plurality of patient names. By operating the icons 71 to 76 displayed on the monitoring screen 23 , the nurse can switch the images corresponding to the icons 71 to 76 from the vital sign monitoring image 32 and display them.
 図7には、3人のICU患者(患者A、患者B、患者C)を1台の表示デバイス15でモニタリングする際のモニタリング画面23の表示例が示されている。即ち、モニタリング画面23には、基本的に、患者Aのバイタルサインモニタリング画像32A、患者Bのバイタルサインモニタリング画像32B、および患者Cのバイタルサインモニタリング画像32Cが並んで表示される。 FIG. 7 shows a display example of the monitoring screen 23 when monitoring three ICU patients (Patient A, Patient B, and Patient C) with one display device 15 . That is, basically, on the monitoring screen 23, a vital signs monitoring image 32A of patient A, a vital signs monitoring image 32B of patient B, and a vital signs monitoring image 32C of patient C are displayed side by side.
 また、バイタルサインモニタリング画像32Aの下方には、患者Aのモニタリング映像33を表示させるためのアイコン71A、患者Aの水分バランスモニタリング画像35を表示させるためのアイコン72A、患者Aの尿・排液モニタリング画像36を表示させるためのアイコン73A、患者Aの呼吸モニタリング画像34を表示させるためのアイコン74A、患者Aの鎮静度モニタリング画像37を表示させるためのアイコン75A、および、患者Aの***変換モニタリング画像38を表示させるためのアイコン76Aが表示される。同様に、バイタルサインモニタリング画像32Bの下方には、アイコン71B乃至76Bが表示され、バイタルサインモニタリング画像32Cの下方には、アイコン71C乃至76Cが表示される。 Further, below the vital sign monitoring image 32A, an icon 71A for displaying the monitoring image 33 of the patient A, an icon 72A for displaying the water balance monitoring image 35 of the patient A, urine and drainage monitoring of the patient A An icon 73A for displaying the image 36, an icon 74A for displaying the respiratory monitoring image 34 of the patient A, an icon 75A for displaying the sedation monitoring image 37 of the patient A, and a postural change monitoring image of the patient A. An icon 76A for displaying 38 is displayed. Similarly, icons 71B to 76B are displayed below the vital signs monitoring image 32B, and icons 71C to 76C are displayed below the vital signs monitoring image 32C.
 例えば、アイコン71Aに対するタッチ操作が行われると、モニタリング画面23のバイタルサインモニタリング画像32Aの表示が、モニタリング映像33と同様の映像タブ(図8)に切り替えられる。同様に、アイコン72Aに対するタッチ操作が行われると、モニタリング画面23のバイタルサインモニタリング画像32Aの表示が、水分バランスモニタリング画像35と同様の水分バランスタブ(図8)に切り替えられる。 For example, when a touch operation is performed on the icon 71A, the display of the vital sign monitoring image 32A on the monitoring screen 23 is switched to the same image tab as the monitoring image 33 (FIG. 8). Similarly, when a touch operation is performed on the icon 72A, the display of the vital sign monitoring image 32A on the monitoring screen 23 is switched to the moisture balance tab (FIG. 8) similar to the moisture balance monitoring image 35.
 また、アイコン73Aに対するタッチ操作が行われると、モニタリング画面23のバイタルサインモニタリング画像32Aの表示が、尿・排液モニタリング画像36と同様の排液タブ(図8)に切り替えられる。ここで、図7に示すように、アイコン73Aには、未確認の更新情報が1件あることを通知する未読マーク43Aが表示されており、図8に示す排液タブにも同様の未読マーク43Aが表示される。 Further, when a touch operation is performed on the icon 73A, the display of the vital sign monitoring image 32A on the monitoring screen 23 is switched to the drainage tab (FIG. 8) similar to the urine/drainage monitoring image 36. Here, as shown in FIG. 7, the icon 73A displays an unread mark 43A notifying that there is one unconfirmed update information, and the same unread mark 43A is displayed on the drainage tab shown in FIG. is displayed.
 以下、同様に、アイコン74A乃至76Aに対するタッチ操作が行われると、呼吸モニタリング画像34と同様の呼吸数・呼吸パターンタブ(図8)、鎮静度モニタリング画像37と同様の鎮静度タブ(図8)、または***変換モニタリング画像38と同様の***変換タブ(図8)に、それぞれ表示の切り替えが行われる。なお、アイコン71B乃至76Bおよびアイコン71C乃至76Cに対するタッチ操作についても、同様に表示の切り替えが行われる。 Thereafter, similarly, when the icons 74A to 76A are touched, the respiration rate/breathing pattern tab (FIG. 8) similar to the respiration monitoring image 34 and the sedation level tab (FIG. 8) similar to the sedation monitoring image 37 are displayed. , or a posture change tab (FIG. 8) similar to the posture change monitoring image 38, respectively. It should be noted that touch operations on the icons 71B to 76B and the icons 71C to 76C also switch the display in the same manner.
 以上のように、モニタリングシステム11は、複数のICU患者を1台の表示デバイス15でモニタリングすることができ、未読マーク43Aによって、どの項目が未確認かを明確に通知することができる。これにより、看護師は、更新情報の内容を適宜確認することができ、モニタリング業務の効率化を図ることができる。 As described above, the monitoring system 11 can monitor multiple ICU patients with a single display device 15, and can clearly notify which items are unconfirmed by the unread marks 43A. As a result, the nurse can appropriately confirm the contents of the update information, and the efficiency of the monitoring work can be improved.
 <遠隔モニタリングの適用例>
 図9を参照して、モニタリングシステム11を遠隔モニタリングに適用する適用例について説明する。
<Application example of remote monitoring>
An application example in which the monitoring system 11 is applied to remote monitoring will be described with reference to FIG.
 図9に示すように、モニタリングシステム11を遠隔モニタリングに適用する場合、表示デバイス15は、患者用カメラ81、視線検出センサ82、およびマイク83を備えられた構成となる。そして、モニタリングシステム11は、ネットワークを介して、遠隔地にあるモニタリング端末91に情報処理装置16を接続して通信を行わせることができる。 As shown in FIG. 9 , when the monitoring system 11 is applied to remote monitoring, the display device 15 is configured with a patient camera 81 , line-of-sight detection sensor 82 , and microphone 83 . Then, the monitoring system 11 can connect the information processing device 16 to the remote monitoring terminal 91 via a network and allow communication to be performed.
 例えば、ICU患者の鎮静度を評価する場合、通常、看護師がICU患者に対面して、ICU患者の外観や呼びかけ応答などを目視にて確認することで評価している。これに対し、モニタリングシステム11を遠隔モニタリングに適用することで、患者用カメラ81、視線検出センサ82、およびマイク83を利用してモニタリング端末91を介して看護師がICU患者を確認し、ICU患者の鎮静度を評価することができる。このとき、モニタリング端末91が、鎮静度解析部63と同様の機能を備えていて、ネットワークを介して看護師がICU患者の鎮静度を評価する際の映像信号および音声信号を解析して、自動的に鎮静度を算出してもよい。 For example, when evaluating the sedation level of an ICU patient, a nurse usually faces the ICU patient and visually confirms the patient's appearance and response to calls. On the other hand, by applying the monitoring system 11 to remote monitoring, the nurse confirms the ICU patient via the monitoring terminal 91 using the patient camera 81, the line-of-sight detection sensor 82, and the microphone 83, and the ICU patient sedation can be assessed. At this time, the monitoring terminal 91 has the same function as the sedation analysis unit 63, and analyzes the video and audio signals when the nurse evaluates the sedation of the ICU patient via the network, automatically sedation may be calculated.
 このような鎮静度の評価に用いる評価指標の一例として、RASS評価方法のスコアが用いられている。例えば、図10のAに示すように、RASS評価方法のスコアは、0を中心として10段階(+4~-5)で鎮静度が評価され、それぞれのスコアに対応する用語および説明は図示する通りである。また、図10のBに示すように、RASS評価方法は、ステップ1およびステップ2に示す内容で、ICU患者の行動や呼びかけの応答などから鎮静度の評価が行われる。 The score of the RASS evaluation method is used as an example of an evaluation index used to evaluate the degree of sedation. For example, as shown in A of FIG. 10, the score of the RASS evaluation method is evaluated in 10 stages (+4 to -5) centering on 0, and the terms and explanations corresponding to each score are as shown. is. In addition, as shown in FIG. 10B, the RASS evaluation method has the contents shown in steps 1 and 2, and the degree of sedation is evaluated based on the ICU patient's behavior and responses to calls.
 例えば、人的リソースが乏しい場合や感染症リスクが高い場合などにおいて、モニタリングシステム11を遠隔モニタリングに適用することが好適である。 For example, it is preferable to apply the monitoring system 11 to remote monitoring when human resources are scarce or when the risk of infectious diseases is high.

Such a removable recording medium 111 can be provided as so-called package software. Here, the removable recording medium 111 includes, for example, a flexible disk, CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory), MO (Magneto Optical) disk, DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), magnetic disk, semiconductor memory, and the like.
 なお、プログラムは、上述したようなリムーバブル記録媒体111からコンピュータにインストールする他、通信網や放送網を介して、コンピュータにダウンロードし、内蔵するハードディスク105にインストールすることができる。すなわち、プログラムは、例えば、ダウンロードサイトから、ディジタル衛星放送用の人工衛星を介して、コンピュータに無線で転送したり、LAN(Local Area Network)、インターネットといったネットワークを介して、コンピュータに有線で転送することができる。 It should be noted that the program can be installed in the computer from the removable recording medium 111 as described above, or can be downloaded to the computer via a communication network or broadcasting network and installed in the hard disk 105 incorporated therein.

 CPU102は、入出力インタフェース110を介して、ユーザによって、入力部107が操作等されることにより指令が入力されると、それに従って、ROM(Read Only Memory)103に格納されているプログラムを実行する。あるいは、CPU102は、ハードディスク105に格納されたプログラムを、RAM(Random Access Memory)104にロードして実行する。 The CPU 102 executes a program stored in a ROM (Read Only Memory) 103 according to a command input by the user through the input/output interface 110 by operating the input unit 107 or the like. . Alternatively, the CPU 102 loads a program stored in the hard disk 105 into a RAM (Random Access Memory) 104 and executes it.
 これにより、CPU102は、上述したフローチャートにしたがった処理、あるいは上述したブロック図の構成により行われる処理を行う。そして、CPU102は、その処理結果を、必要に応じて、例えば、入出力インタフェース110を介して、出力部106から出力、あるいは、通信部108から送信、さらには、ハードディスク105に記録等させる。 As a result, the CPU 102 performs the processing according to the above-described flowchart or the processing performed by the configuration of the above-described block diagram. Then, the CPU 102 outputs the processing result from the output unit 106 via the input/output interface 110, transmits it from the communication unit 108, or records it in the hard disk 105 as necessary.
 なお、入力部107は、キーボードや、マウス、マイク等で構成される。また、出力部106は、LCD(Liquid Crystal Display)やスピーカ等で構成される。 The input unit 107 is composed of a keyboard, mouse, microphone, and the like. Also, the output unit 106 is configured by an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), a speaker, and the like.
 ここで、本明細書において、コンピュータがプログラムに従って行う処理は、必ずしもフローチャートとして記載された順序に沿って時系列に行われる必要はない。すなわち、コンピュータがプログラムに従って行う処理は、並列的あるいは個別に実行される処理(例えば、並列処理あるいはオブジェクトによる処理)も含む。 Here, in this specification, the processing performed by the computer according to the program does not necessarily have to be performed in chronological order according to the order described as the flowchart. In other words, processing performed by a computer according to a program includes processing that is executed in parallel or individually (for example, parallel processing or processing by objects).
 また、プログラムは、1のコンピュータ(プロセッサ)により処理されるものであっても良いし、複数のコンピュータによって分散処理されるものであっても良い。さらに、プログラムは、遠方のコンピュータに転送されて実行されるものであっても良い。 Also, the program may be processed by one computer (processor), or may be processed by a plurality of computers in a distributed manner. Furthermore, the program may be transferred to a remote computer and executed.
 さらに、本明細書において、システムとは、複数の構成要素(装置、モジュール(部品)等)の集合を意味し、すべての構成要素が同一筐体中にあるか否かは問わない。したがって、別個の筐体に収納され、ネットワークを介して接続されている複数の装置、及び、1つの筐体の中に複数のモジュールが収納されている1つの装置は、いずれも、システムである。 Furthermore, in this specification, a system means a set of multiple components (devices, modules (parts), etc.), and it does not matter whether all the components are in the same housing. Therefore, a plurality of devices housed in separate housings and connected via a network, and a single device housing a plurality of modules in one housing, are both systems. .
 また、例えば、1つの装置(または処理部)として説明した構成を分割し、複数の装置(または処理部)として構成するようにしてもよい。逆に、以上において複数の装置(または処理部)として説明した構成をまとめて1つの装置(または処理部)として構成されるようにしてもよい。また、各装置(または各処理部)の構成に上述した以外の構成を付加するようにしてももちろんよい。さらに、システム全体としての構成や動作が実質的に同じであれば、ある装置(または処理部)の構成の一部を他の装置(または他の処理部)の構成に含めるようにしてもよい。 Also, for example, the configuration described as one device (or processing unit) may be divided and configured as a plurality of devices (or processing units). Conversely, the configuration described above as a plurality of devices (or processing units) may be collectively configured as one device (or processing unit). Further, it is of course possible to add a configuration other than the above to the configuration of each device (or each processing unit). Furthermore, part of the configuration of one device (or processing unit) may be included in the configuration of another device (or other processing unit) as long as the configuration and operation of the system as a whole are substantially the same. .
 また、例えば、本技術は、1つの機能を、ネットワークを介して複数の装置で分担、共同して処理するクラウドコンピューティングの構成をとることができる。 In addition, for example, this technology can take a configuration of cloud computing in which a single function is shared and processed jointly by multiple devices via a network.
 また、例えば、上述したプログラムは、任意の装置において実行することができる。その場合、その装置が、必要な機能(機能ブロック等)を有し、必要な情報を得ることができるようにすればよい。 Also, for example, the above-described program can be executed on any device. In that case, the device should have the necessary functions (functional blocks, etc.) and be able to obtain the necessary information.
 また、例えば、上述のフローチャートで説明した各ステップは、1つの装置で実行する他、複数の装置で分担して実行することができる。さらに、1つのステップに複数の処理が含まれる場合には、その1つのステップに含まれる複数の処理は、1つの装置で実行する他、複数の装置で分担して実行することができる。換言するに、1つのステップに含まれる複数の処理を、複数のステップの処理として実行することもできる。逆に、複数のステップとして説明した処理を1つのステップとしてまとめて実行することもできる。 Also, for example, each step described in the flowchart above can be executed by a single device, or can be shared and executed by a plurality of devices. Furthermore, when one step includes a plurality of processes, the plurality of processes included in the one step can be executed by one device or shared by a plurality of devices. In other words, a plurality of processes included in one step can also be executed as processes of a plurality of steps. Conversely, the processing described as multiple steps can also be collectively executed as one step.
 なお、コンピュータが実行するプログラムは、プログラムを記述するステップの処理が、本明細書で説明する順序に沿って時系列に実行されるようにしても良いし、並列に、あるいは呼び出しが行われたとき等の必要なタイミングで個別に実行されるようにしても良い。つまり、矛盾が生じない限り、各ステップの処理が上述した順序と異なる順序で実行されるようにしてもよい。さらに、このプログラムを記述するステップの処理が、他のプログラムの処理と並列に実行されるようにしても良いし、他のプログラムの処理と組み合わせて実行されるようにしても良い。 It should be noted that the program executed by the computer may be such that the processing of the steps described in the program is executed in chronological order according to the order described herein, or in parallel, or when the call is made. They may be executed individually at necessary timings such as occasions. That is, as long as there is no contradiction, the processing of each step may be executed in an order different from the order described above. Furthermore, the processing of the steps describing this program may be executed in parallel with the processing of other programs, or may be executed in combination with the processing of other programs.
 なお、本明細書において複数説明した本技術は、矛盾が生じない限り、それぞれ独立に単体で実施することができる。もちろん、任意の複数の本技術を併用して実施することもできる。例えば、いずれかの実施の形態において説明した本技術の一部または全部を、他の実施の形態において説明した本技術の一部または全部と組み合わせて実施することもできる。また、上述した任意の本技術の一部または全部を、上述していない他の技術と併用して実施することもできる。 It should be noted that the multiple techniques described in this specification can be implemented independently as long as there is no contradiction. Of course, it is also possible to use any number of the present techniques in combination. For example, part or all of the present technology described in any embodiment can be combined with part or all of the present technology described in other embodiments. Also, part or all of any of the techniques described above may be implemented in conjunction with other techniques not described above.
