The air pressure obtaining unit 31 obtains the air pressure in the wooden case 13 based on the output signal of the air pressure sensor 40. For example, the air pressure acquisition unit 31 detects a user's suction operation (suction operation) of the suction nozzle 11 (that is, detects a negative pressure) based on the obtained air pressure in the wooden case 13. For example, the air pressure acquisition unit 31 detects the sucking state (sucking section) of the suction nozzle 11 and the non-sucking state (non-sucking section) of the non-sucking nozzle 11. Thereby, the air pressure acquisition part 31 can specify the number of times of the suction operation of the suction nozzle 11. Specific methods for detecting the start of the sucking action (suction action) and the end of the sucking action using the air pressure sensor 40 are well known, and detailed descriptions are omitted here.

The timing unit 39 has a timing function, for example, measures the elapsed time since the end of the suction (sucking) operation performed by the user, or measures the elapsed time from the start of the main processing, the feedback processing, and the like described later.

The power switch unit 32 is switched to the ON state when the power of the taster 1 is to be turned on, and is switched to the OFF state when the power of the taster 1 is turned off. The power switch unit 32 may be turned on when the timing unit 39 has reached the counting time, for example, when a predetermined time has elapsed without detecting the next intake operation from the nearest intake operation detected by the air pressure acquisition unit 31. The state is switched to the OFF state. In addition, when the power switch unit 32 is in the OFF state, for example, when the air pressure acquisition unit 31 detects the start of the first taste operation performed by the user, the power switch unit 32 is switched from the OFF state to the ON state.

The sweat amount measurement unit 33 of the control unit 30 is connected to the mental sweat amount measurement electrodes 26 and 27, and measures the user's spirit based on the response value corresponding to the skin conductance output from the mental sweat amount measurement electrodes 26 and 27. Sexual sweating.

The setting unit 36 of the control unit 30 sets reference values, thresholds, and the like related to each parameter of the stress level analysis control described later, and stores and updates (resets) the memory unit 35. In addition, the setting unit 36 also memorizes, updates (resets), etc. the memory unit 35 with respect to the count value obtained by counting the number of times the user has inhaled (sucked) when the power switch unit 32 is in the ON state.

In addition, the motor control unit 34 performs drive control of the vibration motor 41 to vibrate the wooden case 13 to notify the user of various information. The light emission control unit 37 performs light emission control of the light emitting element 43 and notifies the user of various information. In addition, the determination unit 38 performs various determination processes in the stress degree analysis control described later.

≪Control content≫

Next, the pressure level analysis control performed by the control unit 30 in the taster 1 of the implementation mode 1 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a startup processing flow executed by the control unit 30 in the implementation mode 1. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the main processing flow executed by the control unit 30 after the power-on processing flow in the implementation mode 1 ends. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the flow of the reply processing executed by the control unit 30 after the main processing flow in the implementation mode 1 ends. The various processing flows shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 can be implemented by the processor of the control unit 30 executing various programs stored in the memory unit 35.

In addition, FIG. 11 is a time-based diagram schematically showing the amount of mental sweat Qs when the control unit 30 of the squeegee 1 performs the pressure level analysis control. In FIG. 11, the horizontal axis shows time T, and the vertical axis shows mental sweat amount Qs. As shown in FIG. 11, the power-on processing is performed in a power-on processing section corresponding to a section from time T0 to T1. In addition, main processing is performed in a main processing section corresponding to a section from time T1 to T2, and feedback processing is performed in a feedback processing section corresponding to a section from time T2 to T3.

[Startup processing flow]

Next, the specific content of the boot process will be described with reference to FIG. 8. The start-up processing is a control flow that is executed by the control unit 30 when the power switch unit 32 is switched from the OFF state to the ON state. As described above, when the power switch unit 32 is in the OFF state, when the air pressure acquisition unit 31 detects that the first suction (puff) operation by the user is started, the power switch unit 32 is switched from the OFF state to the ON state.

At time T0 shown in FIG. 11, when the power switch section 32 is switched from the OFF state to the ON state and the power-on process is started, in step S101, the setting section 36 of the control section 30 performs the previous setting that is stored in the storage section 35. Information initialization (reset) initialization processing. Here The previous setting information refers to the number of sips about the number of sips that were memorized in the memory 35 when the pressure level analysis control was performed when the sipper 1 was started last time (when it was switched from OFF to ON). The data, the air pressure reference value data about the air pressure reference value, the initial reference sweat value data about the initial reference sweat amount Qsb, the judgment sweat value data about the judgment sweat amount Qsj, and the like are reset (deleted). The air pressure reference value data, the initial reference sweat amount data, and the judgment sweat amount data are described later.

Next, in steps S102 and S103, the setting unit 36 of the control unit 30 obtains the air pressure reference value data and the initial reference sweat amount data about the current pressure level analysis control, and stores them in the memory unit 35. Specifically, in step S102, the air pressure obtaining unit 31 of the control unit 30 obtains the air pressure data in the wooden case 13 according to the output signal of the air pressure sensor 40. In this step, the air pressure reference value is set when the user has not tasted the non-sucking state (non-sucking interval) of the suction nozzle 11, for example, after a predetermined data acquisition period (for example, 3 seconds), for each predetermined period (For example, 100 milliseconds) The average value obtained by averaging the acquired air pressure data. The setting unit 36 stores the air pressure reference value data on the air pressure reference value set in this step in the storage unit 35. In addition, since the air pressure reference value obtained as mentioned above is the air pressure data in the wooden case 13 in a non-sucking state (non-sucking section), it is approximately equal to the atmospheric pressure.

Next, in step S103, the sweat amount measurement part 33 of the control part 30 measures the user's mental sweat amount every predetermined period (for example, 100 milliseconds) over a predetermined data acquisition period (for example, 3 seconds). The measurement of the amount of mental sweating is based on a command to the power source 23 by the sweat amount measuring unit 33 to supply electric power from the power source 23 to the electrodes 26 and 27 for measuring the amount of mental sweat. As described above, the electrodes 26 and 27 for measuring the amount of mental sweating are disposed at positions where the electrodes 26 and 27 for measuring the amount of mental sweating can be reached by the fingers (for example, the index finger and the middle finger) of the user who holds the inhaler 1. Sweating The measurement unit 33 circulates a weak current for measuring the amount of sweat from the electrodes 26 and 27 for measuring the amount of mental sweat to the skin of the finger of the user who holds the taster 1, and outputs the current from the electrodes 26 and 27 for measuring the amount of mental sweat. This corresponds to the response value of skin conductance and can measure the user's mental sweating.

The sweat amount measurement section 33 of the control unit 30 is a plurality of mental sweat amount data about the mental sweat amount obtained for each predetermined period (for example, 100 milliseconds) over a predetermined data acquisition period (for example, 3 seconds) as described above. The average value obtained by performing the averaging process is used as the initial reference sweat amount Qsb. The setting unit 36 of the control unit 30 stores the initial reference sweat amount data on the initial reference sweat amount Qsb in the storage unit 35. In addition, the initial baseline sweating amount Qsb obtained in this step reflects the mental sweating of the state of the user when the user has not tasted the non-sucking state (non-sucking interval) of the suction nozzle 11 at the start of the pressure degree analysis control. The baseline value of the amount. In addition, the process of step S103 and the process of step S102 described above may be performed simultaneously or may be executed in an alternate order.

Next, in step S104, the user is notified (reported) of a start notification of the start of the stress level analysis control. Specifically, the motor control unit 34 of the control unit 30 supplies electric power from the power source 23 to the vibration motor 41 and operates (drives) the vibration motor 41. In addition, the wooden case 13 is vibrated by driving the vibration motor 41 so that the user feels the vibration, and the user can be notified of the start of the pressure level analysis control. In addition, the start notification may be performed by the light emission of the light emitting element 43 instead of the notification by the vibration of the wooden case 13, or both may be used in combination. In this case, the light emission control unit 37 supplies electric power from the power source 23 to the light emitting element 43 and causes the light emitting element 43 to emit light in a predetermined light emitting state.

By sensing the start notification of vibration or light emission, it is possible to grasp that the preparation on the suction device 1 side has been completed, and it is easy to grasp the suction operation (the deep exhalation) of switching to the suction nozzle 11 for removing pressure. Suction action). In addition, the start notification of the user report in this step may also be used as a notification to the user that the report (report) has been completed to obtain the initial reference sweat amount Qsb.

In the start notification, the vibration pattern when the vibration motor 41 is vibrated may be appropriately changed. For example, when the vibration motor 41 is vibrated, the state where the vibration motor 41 is driven and the state where the driving is stopped may be alternately repeated. Although there is no particular limitation, for example, the driving time of the vibration motor 41 may be 200 milliseconds, the resting time may be 400 milliseconds, and the driving and stopping may be repeated several times (for example, twice). In addition, when the vibration notification by the vibration of the wooden case 13 and the light emission notification by the light emission of the light emitting element 43 are used in combination, both may be performed simultaneously, or both may be performed at different time. In the case of temporal deviation, the order of performing the vibration notification and the light emission notification may be appropriately switched. When the process of step S104 ends, the control unit 30 ends the power-on process and starts the process of the main process flow shown in FIG. 9.

At time T1 shown in FIG. 11, after the power-on process ends and the main process is started, the amount of mental sweat Qs gradually decreases from time T1 to time T2. This is because in the main processing section, as described later, as the user repeatedly performs the suction and suction action of the suction and suction device 1, the user substantially repeats deep breathing, resulting in a mentality that reflects the degree of stress of the user The amount of sweat Qs decreases. It is also known that when the sympathetic nerves are strained, the amount of mental sweating from the skin surface increases. In addition, when deep breathing is used to relieve physical and mental tension, the parasympathetic nerves are dominant, so the amount of mental sweating is also reduced. Since the amount of mental sweating is reduced, that is, the stress of the user is eliminated and relieved, the judgment is made accordingly in the present invention. That is, in the analysis and control of the degree of stress in this embodiment, it is considered that the increase and decrease of stress is related to the tension and relief of the sympathetic nerve, and the user is analyzed based on the amount of mental sweating related to the tension and relief of the sympathetic nerve. Degree of stress. The taster 1 of the present embodiment has a wooden case 13, and the wooden case 13 The system is formed as an aroma generating source containing an aroma component. Therefore, although the user can only reduce the pressure by performing the suction action of the taster 1, the user can taste the aroma component emitted from the wood case 13 during the taste of the taster 1, and can impart more Relaxing feeling.

In FIG. 11, at the time T1 when the main process is started, the mental sweat amount Qs is an initial reference sweat amount Qsb set in the power-on process. In the example shown in FIG. 11, when the mental sweating amount Qs has been reduced to a predetermined low-pressure sweating amount Qsb2 at time T2, a slight pressure is applied to the user, and the user is awakened to wake up, and the main processing is ended. And start reply processing.

The low-pressure sweating amount Qsb2 is set to a value that is reduced from the initial reference sweating amount Qsb by a predetermined first reference sweating amount reduction amount ΔQsd1. Here, if the mental sweating amount Qs is reduced from the initial reference sweating amount Qsb by the first reference sweating reduction amount ΔQsd1, it can be determined that the user's sympathetic nervous tension has been relieved, the stress has been fully eliminated, and low-pressure sweating The amount Qsb2 is set as a threshold for determination. The first reference sweating reduction amount ΔQsd1 may be set to a fixed value or may be changed according to the setting of the user.

When the awake process is performed at time T2 in FIG. 11, the amount of mental sweat Qs gradually increases from then on. In the awake process, the user's skin is stimulated and a slight pressure is intentionally applied to the user, so that the user's awake degree is slightly increased. The details of the awake process will be described later. In FIG. 11, the amount of mental sweating Qs at time T2 corresponds to the amount of low-pressure sweating Qsb2. At time T2, due to the stimulus of awake treatment given to the user, the amount of mental sweating Qs follows from time T2 Change to T3 and gradually rise. Then, when the time T3 reaches a time point when the predetermined awake completion sweat amount Qsb3 is reached, the feedback processing is ended.

The awake completion sweat amount Qsb3 is set to a value where the lower pressure sweat amount Qsb2 is increased by a predetermined first reference sweat increase amount ΔQsu1. The first reference sweat increase ΔQsu1 is set to a smaller value than the first reference sweat decrease ΔQsd1. If the amount of mental sweating Qs rises from the low-pressure sweating amount Qsb2 to the first reference sweating increase amount ΔQsu1, it can be determined that the user maintains a low-pressure state and is fully alert, and can increase the first reference sweating. The amount ΔQsu1 is set as a threshold for determination. The first reference sweat increase ΔQsu1 may be set to a fixed value or may be changed according to the setting of the user.

[Main processing flow]

Next, the specific content of the main processing executed by the control unit 30 will be described with reference to FIG. 9. When the main processing flow shown in FIG. 9 starts, in step S201, the air pressure acquisition unit 31 obtains air pressure data output from the air pressure sensor 40.

Next, in step S202, the determination unit 38 determines whether the user is currently performing the suction operation of the suction nozzle 11 based on the air pressure data obtained in step S201. In this step, when the determination unit 38 determines that it is a taste state, it updates the number of times of taste data stored in the memory unit 35. The data of the number of times of tasting stored in the memory section 35 is reset in step S101 of the boot process. Therefore, in this step, the value obtained by accumulating the number of times of tasting after the start of the main processing flow is stored in the memory部 35。 35. Then, after updating the number-of-sucking data in the storage unit 35, the process proceeds to step S203. When the determination unit 38 determines in step S202 that it is not in a taste state, the process proceeds to step S209. The processing content of step S209 will be described later.

Next, in step S203, the sweat amount measurement part 33 measures the mental sweat amount Qs of a user. That is, in this step, the amount of mental sweat Qs of the user during the taste operation is measured. In this step, as in step S103 of the power-on process shown in FIG. 8, the weak The current for measuring the amount of sweat flows from the electrodes 26 and 27 for measuring the amount of mental sweat through the skin of the fingers of the user holding the suction device 1, the skin conductance is measured, and the amount of mental sweat Qs is obtained based on the measured value of the skin conductance. In addition, in this step, since the amount of mental sweating Qs of the user in the state of inhalation is measured, the change (noise) of the amount of mental sweating in the visual impression due to body movement can be reduced, which can also be reduced. Human factors of body movement.

In the above steps S202 and S203, the mental sweating amount Qs is measured to detect that the user is triggering during the tasting action, but the mentality may also be performed when it is detected that the tasting action has continued for a certain period of time. Measurement of sweating Qs. At this time, the determination unit 38 may obtain the duration of the user's tasting action from the timer unit 39, and when it is determined that the duration of the tasting action exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the mental sweat amount Qs is measured.

Next, the process proceeds to step S204, and the determination unit 38 calculates the sweating change between the difference between the measurement value of the mental sweat amount obtained recently (hereinafter referred to as "the latest measurement value") and the determination sweat amount Qsj stored in the memory 35.量 △ Qs. The amount of perspiration for judgment Qsj is the amount of perspiration for determination used when it is compared with the low-pressure perspiration amount Qsb2 in the determination step described later, and it reflects that the amount of mental sweat is gradually reduced by repeatedly sucking the suction device The amount of sweating of the user's state.

The determination unit 38 determines whether or not the calculated amount of change in sweat ΔQs does not reach the allowable amount of change ΔQsa (for example, 10 [mg / cm ² / min]). Here, if the sweat change amount ΔQs does not reach the allowable change amount ΔQsa, the process proceeds to step S205, and the setting unit 36 updates the judgment sweat data on the judgment sweat amount Qsj stored in the memory 35 with the latest measured value. . In step S205, the latest measured value is used as the determination sweat amount Qsj and stored in the memory unit 35. When the process of step S205 ends, the process proceeds to step S206.

In the first measurement of the mental sweat amount for the first time after the main processing flow is started, the judgment sweat data on the judgment sweat amount Qsj in the memory section 35 is reset. In this case, the process of step S204 is omitted. On the other hand, the process proceeds to step S205, and the first measured value of the amount of mental sweat is stored in the memory 35 as the determination sweat amount Qsj. When the process of step S205 ends, the process proceeds to step S206.

When the amount of change in sweat ΔQs in step S204 is equal to or greater than the allowable amount of change ΔQsa, the judgment sweat data for the judgment sweat amount Qsj stored in the memory 35 is not updated, and the process proceeds directly to step S206. In this embodiment, when the amount of change in sweat ΔQs is equal to or greater than the allowable amount of change ΔQsa, that is, when the latest measurement value obtained recently has changed excessively from the measurement value obtained before the latest measurement value, it is determined that the body is in motion. The human factor has a large influence on the latest measured value, and the latest measured value is not used as the sweat amount for judgment Qsj.

Next, in step S206, the determination unit 38 determines whether or not the determination sweat amount Qsj stored in the memory unit 35 has not reached the low-pressure sweat amount Qsb2 described in FIG. 11. The low-pressure sweating amount Qsb2 is set to a value lower than the initial reference sweating amount Qsb set in step S103 of the power-on process by the first reference sweating reduction amount ΔQsd1. In step S206, when it is determined that the determination sweat amount Qsj has not reached the low-pressure sweat amount Qsb2, the process proceeds to step S207, and when it is determined that the determination sweat amount Qsj is equal to or more than the low-pressure sweat amount Qsb2, the process proceeds to step S209.

In step S207, the motor control unit 34 supplies electric power from the power source 23 to the vibration motor 41, and operates (drives) the vibration motor 41 to execute awake processing. The awake process is a process in which the user is provided with a vibration stimulus (small pressure) of the wooden case 13 caused by the driving of the vibration motor 41 to increase the user's level of awakeness. Driving of the vibration motor 41 during the sober process The appearance is not particularly limited, for example, the vibration motor 41 can be driven for 1000 milliseconds, so that the user's awakening degree is improved. When the awake process in step S207 ends, the process proceeds to step S208.

In step S208, the light emission control unit 37 performs control to supply electric power from the power source 23 to the light emitting element 43, so that the light emitting element 43 emits light in a predetermined light emitting state, so as to notify (report) the completion of the elimination of pressure to the user. This stress-relief completion notification is a notification for the user to report that the sympathetic nervous tension of the user has been relieved and that the stress has been fully relieved. The light-emitting state of the light-emitting element 43 in this step may be set to a light-emitting state that is different from the light-emitting state when the user is notified of the start notification in step S105 of the above-mentioned boot process. When the process of step S208 ends, the main process is ended first, and the process of the reply processing flow shown in FIG. 10 is started.

Next, the process of step S209 is demonstrated. In step S209, the determination unit 38 obtains the elapsed time Tp1 after the start of the main process from the timer unit 39. Then, the determination unit 38 determines whether the acquired elapsed time Tp1 exceeds a predetermined first timeout time Tsh1. The first timeout time Tsh1 can be set to a fixed value (for example, about 180 seconds), or it can be changed according to the setting of the user.

When it is determined in step S209 that the elapsed time Tp1 has not exceeded the first timeout time Tsh1, the process returns to the process of step S201, and the processes of steps S201 to S206 are repeated. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S209 that the elapsed time Tp1 has exceeded the first overtime time Tsh1, the process proceeds to step S210, and the sobering process is performed in the same manner as step S207. When the awake process in step S210 ends, the process proceeds to step S211.

In step S211, the light emission control unit 37 causes the light emitting element 43 to emit light in a predetermined light emission state, so as to notify (report) a timeout notification that the user has exceeded the time intention. The light-emitting state of the light-emitting element 43 in this step can be set to communicate with the start notification of the start-up process and eliminate the pressure to complete the communication. The light emission state at the time of knowledge is different. When the notification process of step S211 ends, the main process is ended first, and the process of the feedback processing flow shown in FIG. 10 is started.

[Feedback processing]

When the control unit 30 starts the feedback processing flow, first, in step S301, the sweat amount measurement unit 33 measures the user's mental sweat amount Qs. The measurement of the mental sweat amount Qs is the same as the processing content of step S203 in the main processing. Next, the process proceeds to step S302, and the determination unit 38 determines whether or not the mental sweat amount Qs measured in step S301 exceeds the awake completion sweat amount Qsb3.

Here, a method of setting the arousal sweat amount Qsb3 will be described. In this embodiment, the awake sweat amount Qsb3 corresponds to whether the mental sweat amount Qs in the above main processing flow is reduced to a low-pressure sweat amount Qsb2, or whether the difference in the main processing flow is terminated due to timeout. Different values.

Specifically, in the main processing flow, when the mental sweating amount Qs is reduced to the low-pressure sweating amount Qsb2 and the awake process is performed, the awake-completed sweating amount Qsb3 is set to a lower pressure sweating amount Qsb2 which increases the predetermined first reference Sweat rise amount ΔQsu1 value. On the other hand, when the main processing flow becomes time-out and the mental sweating Qs is not reduced to the low-pressure sweating quantity Qsb2, the awake processing Qsb3 will be remembered at the end of the main processing flow The determination sweat amount Qsj in the memory unit 35 is used as a reference, and is set to a value that is higher than the determination sweat amount Qsj by a predetermined second reference sweat increase amount ΔQsu2. Here, the second reference sweat increase ΔQsu2 is set to a smaller value than the first reference sweat increase ΔQsu1.

In step S302, when it is determined that the amount of mental sweating Qs is less than the awake completion sweat amount Qsb3, the process proceeds to step S303, and when it is determined that the amount of mental sweating Qs exceeds the awake completion sweat amount Qsb3, the process proceeds to step S305.

In step S303, the determination unit 38 obtains the elapsed time Tp2 from the timing unit 39 after the feedback processing is started. The determination unit 38 determines whether the acquired elapsed time Tp2 exceeds a predetermined second timeout time Tsh2. The second timeout time Tsh2 can be set to a fixed value (for example, about 30 seconds), or it can be changed according to the setting of the user.

When it is determined in step S303 that the elapsed time Tp2 has not exceeded the second timeout time Tsh2, the process returns to the process of step S301, and the processes of steps S301 to S302 are repeated. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S303 that the elapsed time Tp2 has exceeded the second timeout time Tsh2, the process proceeds to step S304.

In step S304, a time-out notification is reported to the user that the time-out intention has been exceeded. The overtime notification may be a vibration notification in which the wooden case 13 is vibrated by the drive of the motor control unit 34, or it may be a light emission notification performed by the light emission of the light emitting element 43 instead of or in combination. When the process of step S304 ends, the process proceeds to step S306.

In step S305, the user is notified of completion. The completion notification is a notification for the user to inform the user to maintain a low-pressure state and to be fully awake. When the process of step S305 ends, the process proceeds to step S306. Then, in step S306, the power switch unit 32 is switched from the ON state to the OFF state, and the recovery process is ended, and the power of the taster 1 is turned off.

As described above, according to the taster 1 of this embodiment, the control unit 30 performs analysis and control of the degree of pressure, and based on the user's mental sweat amount information about the mental sweat amount The user's stress level is analyzed, and the user is notified of the analysis result. Therefore, the user can easily grasp whether the pressure has been sufficiently eliminated by repeatedly performing the sucking action of the sucker 1.

In addition, in the above main processing flow, from the start of the main processing flow to the timeout, the control unit 30 repeatedly measures the user's mental sweating amount Qs (for example, every 100 milliseconds), and can accurately determine whether it is mental or not. The amount of sweat Qs is reduced to a state of low pressure sweat Qsb2 and the stress has been sufficiently eliminated. In addition, when it is confirmed that the amount of mental sweating Qs has been reduced to the amount of low-pressure sweating Qsb2, a slight stimulus (pressure) is intentionally given to the user to perform a sober process that slightly raises the user's level of awakeness, so that the user is awake Become a state of renewed consciousness rather than a state of ambiguity. However, in the stress degree analysis control according to the embodiment, the sober processing is not necessary and can be appropriately omitted. For example, if it is determined in step S206 of the main processing flow shown in FIG. 9 that the determination sweat amount Qsj (the user's mental sweat amount Qs) stored in the memory section 35 does not reach the low-pressure sweat amount Qsb2, it may not be performed. The awake process proceeds to step S208, and the user is notified of the end of stress relief notice. In addition, even in the case of a timeout in step S209 of the main processing flow, the process may proceed to step S211 without performing a sober process and report a timeout notification to the user.

In addition, in the sober processing of the present embodiment, the user is given a vibration stimulus caused by the vibration of the wooden case 13 by the drive of the vibration motor 41. However, as long as a slight pressure can be applied to the user, Use other methods. For example, the light emitting element 43 may be made to emit light, and the user may be stimulated to make the user conscious. In addition, the taster 1 may be provided with a sound output device that outputs sound, and in this case, the user may be awakened by sound stimulation. The taster 1 of the present embodiment may not include the light-emitting element 43 and is used for the above-mentioned pressure level analysis control. Various notifications by the light-emitting element 43 may be replaced by vibration of the wooden case 13 caused by driving the vibration motor 41.

In addition, according to the taster 1 of this embodiment, in the main processing flow of the pressure level analysis control, it is set to measure the amount of mental sweat only during the suction operation of the taster 1. Therefore, It can reduce the influence of the change in the amount of mental sweating in the visual impression caused by body movement, that is, reduce the influence caused by the human factors of body movement, and can accurately grasp the user's amount of mental sweating. However, in the taster 1 of this embodiment, it is also possible to measure the amount of mental sweat during a non-smelling operation.

Implementation type 2

Next, a taster 1A of the second embodiment will be described. Fig. 12 is a block diagram of the taster 1A of the embodiment 2. In the taster 1A of the second embodiment, the same components as those of the taster 1 of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions are omitted. As shown in FIG. 12, the sucker 1A is provided with a pressure sensor 44. The pressure sensor 44 is provided in a state where the wooden case 13 is exposed, and detects the pressure when the user holds the taster 1A with a strong force. The control unit 30A of the taste device 1A includes a pressure detection unit 31A that obtains an output signal of the pressure sensor 44. In addition, the difference between the taster 1A and the taster 1 of the first embodiment is that the pressure sensor 40 is not provided, and other structures are the same as those of the taster 1 of the first embodiment.

In the sucker 1A of the present embodiment, when the control unit 30A performs the pressure level analysis control, when the user's holding force for holding the wooden case 13 is detected based on the output signal from the pressure sensor 44, the user's Amount of mental sweating.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a startup process flow of implementation type 2. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the main processing flow of the implementation type 2. Hereinafter, it is different from the implementation mode 1 The processing contents of the start-up processing flow and the main processing flow described in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are mainly described.

[Startup processing flow]

In the power-on processing flow shown in FIG. 13, the processing content of step S102 shown in FIG. 9 is omitted. That is, when the control unit 30A starts the power-on processing flow because the power switch unit 32 is switched from the OFF state to the ON state, the process of initializing the previous setting information stored in the memory unit 35 is performed in step S101, and then, in step S101, In S103, the sweat amount measurement unit 33 obtains an initial reference sweat amount Qsb. Then, in the subsequent step S104, the user reports the start notification of the start of the stress level analysis control, then ends the power-on processing flow, and starts the main processing flow shown in FIG. 14. When the power switch unit 32 is in the OFF state, the pressure detection unit 31A switches from the OFF state to the ON state when the user detects the grip strength of the wooden case 13 based on the output data of the pressure sensor 44.

[Main Processing]

When the main processing flow starts, in step S401, the pressure detection unit 31A obtains the output data of the pressure-sensing sensor 44. Next, in step S402, the determination unit determines whether the user is holding the taster 1 (wooden case 13) based on the output data of the pressure sensor 44 obtained by the pressure detection unit 31A. In this step, if it is determined that the user is holding the wooden case 13, the process proceeds to step S203. On the other hand, if it is determined that the user is not holding the wooden case 13, the process proceeds to step S209. Each processing of steps S203 to S211 is the same as the main processing flow described in FIG. 10. In addition, in the above step S402, the state of the user's grip of the wooden case 13 is detected, that is, the amount of mental sweating Qs is measured. However, it can also be detected that the user's grip of the wooden case 13 continues for a certain period of time or more Only then did the measurement of mental sweating Qs. At this time, it is determined The unit 38 can obtain the duration of the grasping state of the user holding the wooden case 13 from the timer unit 39. When the duration of the grasping state is determined to have exceeded a predetermined threshold, the sweat amount measurement unit 33 measures the mental sweat amount Qs . In the taster 1A of the implementation form 2, the feedback processing executed after the end of the main processing flow is the same as that described in the implementation form 1.

Change example

Next, a modification will be described. Fig. 15 is an explanatory view of a taster 1B according to a modification. As shown in FIG. 15, in the taster 1B of the modified example, the nozzle holder 12 of the nozzle unit 10 is provided with a liquid holding recess 123. In the liquid retaining recess 123, for example, a liquid fragrance such as an essential oil is dripped, and the liquid fragrance can be retained. This allows the user to taste the aroma components emitted from the liquid fragrance retained in the liquid retaining recess 123 during the inhalation by the taster 1B, and can provide a relaxed feeling.

In addition, the taster 1B may contain an aroma generating source (such as a fragrance, a tobacco source) that releases aroma components in the wooden case 13. When the user tastes the taster 1B, the aroma component released by the aroma generating source may be It is mixed with the air flowing through the ventilation duct of the wooden case 13, and is supplied into the oral cavity from the nozzle hole 112. At this time, for example, the taster 1B may have a heater (not shown) to heat an aroma generating source (for example, a fragrance or a tobacco source) contained in the accommodating portion contained in the wooden case 13 to promote the release of an aroma component by the aroma generating source. At this time, for example, the control unit 30 of the taster 1B can detect the taste (suck) action performed by the user, so that the aroma generating source can be heated by the heater to promote the release of aroma components. Thereby, during the inhalation of the taste device 1B, the aroma component emitted from the aroma generation source can be supplied together with the inhaled air, and the user can be further provided with a relaxed feeling.

In the above embodiment, the air pressure obtaining section 31, the pressure detecting section 31A, the power switch section 32, the sweat amount measuring section 33, the motor control section 34, the setting section 36, the light emission control section 37, the determination section 38, and the timer section The operations described in 39 operations can be executed by a computer. For example, a computer executes programs using hardware resources such as a processor (CPU), memory, input / output circuits, and the like, and executes each of the processes described above. Specifically, each processing is executed by the processor outputting the data to be processed to a memory or an input / output circuit.

<Implementation Mode 3>

Next, the sucker 1 of the third embodiment will be described. Section 16 is a block diagram of the taster 1 of the implementation type 3. The hardware configuration of the taster 1 of the implementation form 3 is the same as that of the taster 1 of the implementation form 1. In the following description, the parts of the taster 1 of the implementation form 3 which are different from those of the taster 1 of the implementation form 1 will be described mainly. The same elements are denoted by the same element symbols, and detailed description is omitted. The taster 1 of the implementation mode 3 is also provided with a control unit 30 belonging to a control unit for controlling the taster 1. The control unit 30 may be, for example, a microcomputer including a processor and a memory.

As shown in FIG. 16, the control unit 30 includes an air pressure obtaining unit 31, a power switch unit 32, a sweat measurement unit 33, a motor control unit 34, a setting unit 36, a light emission control unit 37, a determination unit 38, a timer unit 39, The functional units such as the prediction unit 50 and the processing unit 51. The control unit 30 includes a memory unit 35 that stores various programs to be executed by a processor of the control unit 30. The memory unit 35 is, for example, a nonvolatile memory, and may be a main memory device or an auxiliary memory device provided in the control unit 30. In addition, each of the functional units described above is implemented by a processor (CPU) provided in the control unit 30 according to a predetermined program operation. That is, the control section 30 executes programs by using hardware resources such as a processor (CPU), a memory, and an input-output circuit to execute each of the above-mentioned functional sections. deal with. Specifically, the processor outputs data of a processing object to a memory or an input / output circuit to execute each process of each functional unit.

Here, the memory unit 35 stores a sweat amount minimum prediction mode 351 and a sweat amount maximum prediction mode 352 used when the main process of the stress level analysis control performed by the control unit 30 is performed. Details of the minimum sweat amount prediction mode 351 and the maximum sweat amount prediction mode 352 will be described later.

Next, a description will be given of the pressure degree analysis control of the taster 1 of the third embodiment. In the stress degree analysis control of this embodiment, as in the above embodiment, the control unit 30 performs each process such as power-on process and main process.

FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating the transition of the user's mental sweating amount Qs when the taster 1 of the implementation mode 3 performs the pressure level analysis control. The horizontal axis of FIG. 17 shows time, and the vertical axis shows the user's mental sweating Qs. The period from time Ta to Tb is the power-on processing period (calibration period) ΔTk during which the power-on processing is performed.

The power-on processing is the same as in the first embodiment. When the power switch unit 32 is switched from the off state to the on state, the trigger control unit 30 starts execution. For example, when the power switch unit 32 is switched from the off state to the on state and the power on process is started within the time Ta shown in FIG. 17, the sweat amount measurement unit 33 of the control unit 30 goes through the power on process period ΔTk, The user's mental sweating amount Qs is measured at a predetermined sampling period (here, exemplified as 500 ms). Although the power-on processing period ΔTk is not particularly limited, FIG. 17 shows that the power-on processing period ΔTk is set to 5 seconds. In addition, the power switch unit 32 is switched from the off state to the power switch unit 32 when the air pressure acquisition unit 31 detects the start of the user's first suction (puff) operation when the power switch unit 32 is in the off state. On.

The measurement of the user's mental sweating amount Qs is instructed by the sweating amount measuring unit 33 to the power source 23, and power is supplied to the mental sweating amount measuring electrodes 26 and 27 from the power source 23. The sweat amount measurement unit 33 is configured to pass a current for measuring a weak sweat amount from the skin of the finger of the user holding the suction device 1 from the electrodes 26 and 27 for measuring the mental sweat amount, and is based on the electrode for measuring the sweat amount The output value corresponding to the skin conductance output at 26 and 27 can measure the user's mental sweating. When the power is turned on, the amount of mental sweat of the user obtained in a predetermined sampling period is memorized in the memory portion 35. In addition, the sweat amount measurement section 33 obtains the elapsed time after the power-on process is started from the timer section 39, thereby measuring the user's mental sweat amount at a predetermined sampling cycle.

Here, the mental sweat amount Qs of the user shown in FIG. 17 is an output value corresponding to the skin conductance output from the mental sweat amount measuring electrodes 26 and 27. The unit of the mental sweat amount Qs shown in FIG. 17 is micro Siemens [μS], and is related to the inverse of the resistance. In addition, the output value [unit: μS] output by the electrodes 26 and 27 for measuring the amount of mental sweat, and the amount of moisture [unit: mg / cm ² / min] generated per unit time of the skin per unit area of the skin. The relationship is a function, and the amount of sweat, which is the amount of sweat, can be determined from the output values of the mental sweat amount measuring electrodes 26 and 27 without any ambiguity. Therefore, in this specification, the case where "the user's mental sweating amount" is expressed in [μS] and the case where it is expressed in [mg / cm ² / min] are substantially equivalent.

Here, the control unit 30 ends the power-on processing within a time Tb in which the power-on processing period ΔTk elapses from the start of the power-on processing. At this time, the control unit 30 accesses the memory unit 35 and stores the maximum value of the user's mental sweat amount Qs obtained during the power-on processing ΔTk as the initial reference sweat amount Qs # max in the memory unit 35. again In other words, the control unit 30 notifies the user of the initiation of the inhalation of the inhalation of the inhaler 1 by the user. For example, the motor control unit 34 of the control unit 30 supplies electric power from the power source 23 to the vibration motor 41 and operates (drives) the vibration motor 41. By driving the vibration motor 41 to vibrate the wooden case 13 and make the user perceive the vibration, the user can be notified of the start of the taste. In addition, instead of or in combination with the notification generated by the vibration of the wooden case 13, the start notification may be performed by the light emission of the light emitting element 43. At this time, the light emission control unit 37 supplies electric power from the power source 23 to the light emitting element 43 and causes the light emitting element 43 to emit light using a predetermined light emitting pattern. In addition, during the power-on process, the control unit 30 measures the user's mental sweat according to a predetermined sampling period regardless of whether the user sucks the sucking state of the suction nozzle 11 or the non-taste state量 Qs.

Here, the interval system control unit 30 between the time Tb and Tc shown in FIG. 17 executes the prediction feature amount measurement period ΔTmp of the prediction feature amount measurement process. The control unit 30 performs a min-max prediction process within the time Tc of the end time of the prediction feature amount measurement period ΔTmp. In addition, in the sweating amount determination period ΔTmj corresponding to the time period Tc to Td in FIG. 17, the control unit 30 determines whether the sweating amount Qs of the user does not reach the threshold for determination. Sweat amount determination processing for whether or not a person is in a low-pressure state. The details of the above-mentioned prediction characteristic amount measurement processing, min-max prediction processing, and sweat amount determination processing are as described later, and each of these processing is included to constitute the main processing.

In addition, in this embodiment, the length of the prediction characteristic amount measurement period ΔTmp is not particularly limited, but the following description will be made by taking a case where the prediction characteristic amount measurement period ΔTmp is set to 100 seconds as an example. In the sweating amount determination process, the determination unit 38 of the control unit 30 determines whether the user's mental sweating amount Qs does not reach the threshold for determination according to a predetermined sampling period (here, exemplarily set to 500 ms). And when the user's mental sweating is confirmed When the amount Qs does not reach the threshold for determination, it is determined that the tension in the sympathetic nervous system of the user is reduced, and the main processing is terminated.

In addition, in the main process of this embodiment, in the sweating amount determination process, even if the user's mental sweating amount Qs is maintained above the threshold for determination, it is preset to start from the main process ( In the case where the predetermined first timeout period of time T _i elapses, the main process (sweat amount determination process) is forcibly terminated due to the timeout. In addition, although the length of the above-mentioned first overtime period is not particularly limited, the following description is made by taking a case where the length is 180 seconds as an example. Here, when the power-on processing period ΔTk is set to 5 seconds, the prediction characteristic amount measurement period ΔTmp is set to 100 seconds, and the first timeout time ΔTto is set to 185 seconds, the amount of sweat is determined. The period ΔTmj is a maximum of 80 seconds, and in this embodiment, the prediction characteristic amount measurement period ΔTmp is set as a period shorter than the first timeout period ΔTto. In addition, the time Td from the time Tb at which the main process (prediction characteristic amount measurement process) is started to the time point (the first time-out period) when the first time-out time ΔTto elapses is equivalent to the maximum time to continue the main process The (longest) period is hereinafter referred to as the "main processing continued maximum period ΔTmax".

The control unit 30 starts the main processing. Fig. 18 is a diagram showing the processing contents of the main processing in the implementation mode 3. Each process shown in FIG. 18 is realized by executing various programs stored in the memory unit 35 by the processor of the control unit 30. The main processing of this embodiment mode includes a prediction feature amount measurement process in step S30, a min-max prediction process in step S40, and a sweat amount determination process in step S50.

First, in the prediction feature quantity measurement processing in step S30, the control unit 30 runs through the above-mentioned prediction feature quantity measurement period ΔTmp (100 seconds), and according to a predetermined sampling period (here, exemplarily set to 500 ms ) To measure the user's mental sweating Qs. The measurement of the user's mental sweating amount Qs is the same as when the power is turned on. The sweating amount measuring unit 33 of the control unit 30 instructs the power source 23 and supplies power from the power source 23 to the mental sweating amount. The measurement electrodes 26 and 27 are obtained by obtaining output values output from the mental sweat amount measurement electrodes 26 and 27. The sweat amount measurement unit 33 obtains the elapsed time T _i after the start of the main process (prediction characteristic amount measurement process) from the timer unit 39, thereby measuring the user's mental sweat amount at a predetermined sampling cycle.

In the prediction feature quantity measurement processing, the determination unit 38 determines whether or not the user is currently performing a suction operation on the suction nozzle 11 according to the sampling period (here, 500 ms is exemplarily set), and only the determination unit 38 determines that During the smoking operation, the sweat amount measurement unit 33 measures the mental sweat amount Qs of the user. Here, the processing unit 51 is a functional unit that performs various processes on the measurement value of the mental sweat amount Qs of the user measured in the stress level analysis control. The determination of whether or not the user is currently in the sucking action can be made based on the detection result of the sucking action (suction action) performed by the air pressure acquisition unit 31. Here, the processing unit 51 performs calculation processing of dividing the measurement value of the user's mental sweating amount Qs measured by the sweating amount measuring portion 33 by the initial reference sweating amount G # max obtained when the power is turned on, and calculates "correction Completion of the sweat amount measurement value "G" (G = Qs / G # max), and the sweat amount measurement data Dg is stored in the memory section 35. The sweat amount measurement data Dg is the calculated sweat correction value to complete the sweat amount measurement value. G corresponds to the elapsed time T _i (i = 0, 0.5, 1.0, ... 99.5) from the start of the main process. Further, in calculating the amount of correction is completed perspiration measurement value _{G i (i = 0,0.5,1.0, ...} 99.5) on the occasion, in order to make the user's mental sweating amount Qs of the data series when the measured value smoothed, It is also possible to obtain a correction to complete the sweat measurement by applying a moving average process to the measured value of the mental sweat amount Qs, and calculating the mental sweat amount Qs after the moving average process by dividing the initial baseline sweat amount G # max. Setting value G.

The subscript i indicates the elapsed time from the start of the main process. As described above, in this description, the prediction characteristic amount measurement period ΔTmp is set to 100 seconds, and the measurement period of the mental sweat amount is set to 500 ms. Therefore, it is generated in the prediction characteristic amount measurement process. The sweat amount measurement data Dg contains 200 corrected sweat amount measurement values G _i (i = 0) corresponding to the elapsed time T _i (i = 0, 0.5, 1.0, ... 99.5) from the start of the main process. , 0.5, 1.0, ... 99.5). In addition, when the corrected sweat amount measurement value included in each of the sweat amount measurement data Dg is displayed in an array, it is as follows.

Dg = [G ₀ , G _0.5 , G _1.0,. ． ． G _99.5 ]

In addition, the value of the sweating measurement value G ₀ after the correction is completed at the start of the main process (at the start of the characteristic amount measurement process for prediction) is set to 1.

Further, in each of the samples in the predictive characteristic amount measurement processing, when the determination section 38 determines that it is not in a tasting operation, the sweat amount measurement section 33 does not measure the user's mental sweat amount Qs. At this time, the processing unit 51 uses the corrected completed sweat amount measurement value G at the previous sampling time as the corrected completed sweat amount measurement value G at the current sampling time and stores it in the sweat amount measurement data Dg. For example, when the elapsed time T _5.0 from the start of the main processing is a non-smelling operation, G _5.0 is stored in the sweat amount measurement data Dg with the same value as G _4.5 corresponding to the elapsed time T _4.5 .

As described above, in the predictive characteristic amount measurement process, since the user's mental sweating amount Qs is measured only in the state of ingestion, it is possible to reduce the change in the amount of mental sweating in appearance due to body movement (miscellaneous (Information). In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, the prediction feature amount measurement period during the prediction feature amount measurement process of the main process is performed. Within △ Tmp, the user's mental sweating Qs will gradually decrease. This is because as the user repeatedly performs the sucking action of the inhaler 1, the user will essentially breathe deeply and repeatedly, thereby causing a decrease in the amount of mental sweat Qs that reflects the degree of stress of the user.

Here, at the time point when the prediction feature amount measurement period ΔTmp (100 seconds) ends, the control unit 30 ends the prediction feature amount measurement process and performs the min-max prediction process of step S40 in FIG. 18. The min-max prediction process is performed by the prediction unit 50 of the control unit 30 based on the correction of the sweat amount measurement value G _i (i = 0, 0.5, 1.0, ... 99.5) based on the correction stored in the memory unit 35 during the prediction feature quantity measurement process. ) Sweat amount measurement data Dg corresponding to the elapsed time T _i (i = 0, 0.5, 1.0, ... 99.5) from the start of the main process, and the minimum value of sweat amount stored in the memory section 35 is predicted The mode 351 and the maximum sweat amount prediction mode 352 are used to predict the minimum value of the user ’s mental sweat amount during the main processing continued maximum period ΔTmax (180 seconds) and the maximum value of the maximum mental sweat amount. Processing of values.

Next, a sweat amount minimum prediction mode 351 and a sweat amount maximum prediction mode 352 will be described. The minimum sweating amount prediction mode 351 shows the change of the user's mental sweating amount over time during the time period during which the characteristic amount for prediction is measured △ Tmp (100 seconds) and the maximum period during which the main processing continues △ Tmax (180 seconds The prediction model of the correlation of the minimum amount of mental sweat of the user). More specifically, the minimum sweating amount prediction mode 351 is a method for using the plural (major) sweating minimum learning data as a teacher's data to mechanically learn the mentality of the user during the prediction characteristic measurement period ΔTmp. The prediction model of the completion of the correlation between the change in the amount of sweat and the minimum value of the user ’s mental sweat during the maximum period of the main processing △ Tmax. The aforementioned data for learning the minimum amount of sweat is a plurality (many) of test objects in advance. Using the taster 1 and performing the predictive characteristic amount measurement period obtained by performing the stress level analysis control (main processing) The change of the measured value of the psychic sweat amount of the test subject of △ Tmp corresponds to the minimum value of the measured value of the psychic sweat amount of the test subject of △ Tmax during the main processing continued maximum period.

In addition, the maximum sweating amount prediction mode 352 shows the change of the user's mental sweating amount over time during the time period during which the characteristic amount for prediction is measured, ΔTmp (100 seconds), and the maximum period during which the main processing continues ΔTmax (180 seconds The prediction model of the correlation of the maximal amount of mental sweat of the user). More specifically, the sweating maximum value prediction mode 352 is a method for using the plural (major) sweating maximum learning data as a teacher's data to mechanically learn the mentality of a user who predicts a characteristic amount during the measurement ΔTmp. The prediction model of the completion of the correlation between the change in the amount of sweat and the maximum value of the user's mental sweat during the maximum duration of the main processing △ Tmax. The aforementioned (multiple) maximum sweat amount learning data are pre-ordered plural ( The majority of the test subjects use the suction device 1 and the measured value of the plural (majority) of the perspiration amount of the test subject during the measurement of the characteristic quantity for prediction ΔTmp obtained by performing the stress level analysis control (main processing) is performed. The data corresponding to the maximum value of the measured value of the mental sweat amount of the plural (majority) test subjects of ΔTmax during the maximum period during which the main process continues.

In this embodiment, the sweat amount minimum prediction mode 351 and the sweat amount maximum prediction mode 352 are constructed as linear modes. For this linear mode, for example, LASSO and the like can be suitably used. However, the sweat amount minimum prediction mode 351 and the sweat amount maximum prediction mode 352 are not limited to LASSO, and a non-linear mode may be used.

In the min-max prediction process, the prediction unit 50 corrects the sweat amount measurement value as an example of the measurement of the mental sweat amount of the user measured throughout the prediction characteristic amount measurement period ΔTmp from the start of the main process. G _i (i = 0, 0.5, 1.0, ... 99.5) is used as a feature quantity in the minimum sweat amount prediction mode 351 and the maximum sweat amount prediction mode 352, respectively, thereby predicting the maximum duration of the main processing to continue ΔTmax. The minimum value of the user's mental sweating and the maximum value of the user's mental sweating. Hereinafter, the minimum value of the user's mental sweating amount during the main processing continued maximum period ΔTmax obtained by the prediction using the sweating amount minimum value prediction mode 351 as described above is set to the "minimum predicted value Gpmin". In addition, the maximum value of the mental sweat amount of the user who continues the maximum period ΔTmax in the main process obtained by the prediction using the maximum sweat amount prediction mode 352 is set to the "maximum predicted value Gpmax".

The sweat amount minimum prediction mode 351 predicts the minimum predicted value Gpmin by the following formula (1).

Gpmin = a ₀ × G ₀ + a _0.5 × G _0.5 + a _1.0 × G _1.0 + ... + a _99.5 × G _99.5 (1)

Among them, a _i (i = 0, 0.5, 1.0, ... 99.5) is a weight with respect to the measured sweat value G _i (i = 0, 0.5, 1.0, ... 99.5) which is the correction of the characteristic amount. .

The sweating maximum value prediction mode 352 predicts the maximum prediction value Gpmax by the following expression (2).

Gpmax = b ₀ × G ₀ + b _0.5 × G _0.5 + b _1.0 × G _1.0 + ... + b _99.5 × G _99.5 (2)

Among them, b _i (i = 0, 0.5, 1.0, ... 99.5) is a weight with respect to the measured sweat value G _i (i = 0, 0.5, 1.0, ... 99.5) which is the correction of the characteristic amount. .

In this way, the minimum predicted value Gpmin and the maximum predicted value of the mental sweat amount in the maximum period ΔTmax of the main process predicted by the prediction section 50 are continued using the predicted sweat amount minimum prediction mode 351 and sweat amount maximum prediction mode 352 that have been completed. Gpmax is memorized in the memory section 35. After the min-max prediction process is completed, the control unit 30 proceeds to step S50 in FIG. 18 to execute the sweat amount determination process.

In this embodiment, the sweat amount determination process is performed as described above, after the time Tc (100 seconds from the start of the main process) of the predictive characteristic amount measurement period Tc, which reaches the maximum and reaches the first timeout. The time period Td (after 180 seconds has elapsed since the start of the main process) is performed. That is, the sweat amount determination process is started after 100 seconds have elapsed after the main process is started, and up to 180 seconds have elapsed after the main process has been started.

When the specific content of the sweat amount determination process is described, when the sweat amount determination process is performed, the sweat amount measurement unit 33 measures the user's mental sweat amount Qs at a predetermined sampling cycle. Here, a case where the sampling period for measuring the user's mental sweat amount Qs in the sweat amount determination process is set to 500 ms will be described as an example, but the sampling period is not particularly limited. In addition, the sweat amount measurement section 33 obtains the elapsed time T _i (i = 0, 0.5, 1.0, ... 99.5) from the timing section 39 after the main processing is started, thereby taking a predetermined sampling period (here, 500 ms) ) Measure the amount of mental sweat of the user.

In the sweat amount determination processing, the measurement value of the mental sweat amount Qs of the user measured by the sweat amount measurement section 33 is corrected by the processing section 51. Specifically, the processing unit 51 performs a correction process of dividing the measured value of the mental sweat amount Qs by the initial reference sweat amount G # max obtained when the power is turned on to calculate the corrected sweat amount measurement value. G. In addition, the processing unit 51 performs a metering process on the calculated corrected sweat amount measurement value G using the minimum predicted value Gpmin and the maximum predicted value Gpmax memorized in the storage unit 35.

Here, the processing unit 51 performs the min-max scale processing using the minimum predicted value Gpmin stored in the storage unit 35 as a predetermined first value and the maximum predicted value Gpmax as a second value. Here, the second value is set to a value larger than the first value. Here, a case where the first value is set to 0 and the second value is set to 1 will be described as an example.

Processing unit 51 is performed based min-max scale treatment occasion, of the following formula (3) substituting the measured value of the correction amount of sweat completed _{G i (i = 100,100.5,101, ...} 180), by The calculated min-max scaled value is calculated to complete the sweating value measurement value Gt _i (i = 100, 100.5, 101, ... 180).

Gt _i = (G _i -Gpmin) / (Gpmax-Gpmin) (3)

The scaled sweating amount measurement value Gt _i calculated by the processing section 51 is compared with the threshold value for determination set by the setting section 36. When the scaled sweating amount measurement value Gt _{i has} not reached the judgment value, When the threshold value is reached, it is judged that the user's state transitions to a low-pressure state. Here, the setting unit 36 sets the threshold value for determination to a range from the first value (the minimum predicted value Gpmin) to the second value (the maximum predicted value Gpmax). As described above, in this embodiment, the first value (the minimum predicted value Gpmin) is set to 0, the second value (the maximum predicted value Gpmax) is set to 1, and all of them are detected within the sweat amount determination period ΔTmj. The measurement value of the measured perspiration amount of the user (specifically, the measurement value G of the corrected perspiration amount) is scaled. Therefore, the setting unit 36 sets the threshold for judgment to a value of 0 or more and 1 or less.

In the sweat amount determination processing, the determination unit 38 completes the sweating amount measurement value Gt _i at a predetermined sampling interval (500 ms in this example) obtained during each time according to the sweat amount determination period ΔTmj. The threshold for determination is compared to determine whether the sweating amount measurement value Gt _{i that} has been completed on the scale has not reached the threshold for determination. In addition, the main processing is terminated at the time when it is confirmed that the sweating measurement value Gt _{i has} not reached the threshold value for determination, and the user is notified (notified) of the pressure relief completion notification.

On the other hand, in the sweat amount determination processing, even if the sweating measurement value Gt _{i is} not reduced to the threshold for determination, the preset first time has passed in the elapsed time from the start of the main processing. At the time-out time ΔTto, the control unit 30 ends the main process forcibly due to the time-out. Specifically, the determination unit 38 obtains the elapsed time from the timing unit 39 after the main process is started. The determination unit 38 determines whether the acquired elapsed time exceeds a predetermined first time-out time ΔTto. The first time-out time ΔTto is set as a preset fixed time (180 seconds) in this control example, but the length of the first time-out time ΔTto can also be changed according to the setting set by the user.

Furthermore, the above-mentioned notification of completion of stress relief is a notification for notifying the user that the tension in the sympathetic nervous system of the user has been eased, and that the state where the stress has been sufficiently relieved has been reached. The pressure release completion notification is the same as in the first embodiment. The light emission control unit 37 can also control the power supply from the power source 23 to the light emitting element 43 and use a predetermined light emitting pattern to cause the light emitting element 43 to notify the user.

Here, FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the processing content of the sweat amount determination processing of the main processing of the implementation mode 3. In step S501 shown in FIG. 19, the sweat amount measurement unit 33 determines whether or not it is the measurement time point for measuring the mental sweat amount Qs of the user. The sweat amount measurement section 33 obtains the elapsed time from the timing section 39 after the start of the main process (prediction characteristic amount measurement process), thereby measuring the user's mental sweat amount at a predetermined sampling cycle. In step S501, when it is determined that it is a measurement time point, it proceeds to step S502, and when it is determined that it is not a measurement time point, it returns to step S501.

In step S502, the determination unit 38 determines whether or not the user is currently performing a suction operation based on the detection result of the suction operation (suction operation) of the air pressure acquisition unit 31. In this step, when it is determined that the user is currently in the tasting action, the process proceeds to step S503, and when it is determined that the user is not in the tasting action, the process returns to step S501.

In step S503, the sweat amount measurement unit 33 measures the mental sweat amount Qs of the user. Next, in step S504, the processing unit 51 calculates the correction to complete the sweat measurement by dividing the measured value of the user's mental sweat amount Qs measured by the sweat amount measurement unit 33 by the initial reference sweat amount G # max. Setting value G. Here, when the corrected sweat amount measurement value G is calculated, in order to smooth the series of data when the user's mental sweat amount Qs is measured, a moving average may be performed on the measured value of the mental sweat amount Qs. The calculation process is performed and the mental sweat amount Qs after the moving average process is divided by the initial reference sweat amount G # max to calculate the corrected sweat amount measurement value G.

Next, in step S505, the processing unit 51 performs the minimum predicted value Gpmin memorized in the memory unit 35 as the predetermined first value and the maximum predicted value Gpmax as the second value to perform the correction on the measured sweating amount. G min-max is scaled to calculate the sweating value Gt after the scale is completed. The measured sweat value Gt after the completion of the scale can be calculated according to the above formula (3).

Next, in step S506, the determination unit 38 determines whether the sweating measurement value Gt that has been scaled has not reached the threshold value for determination. In step S506, when it is determined that the scaled sweating measurement value Gt has not reached the threshold for determination, the process proceeds to step S507. When the scaled sweating measurement value Gt is determined to be above the threshold for determination Go to step S509.

In step S507, the light emission control unit 37 notifies (notifies) the user of the pressure relief completion notification. For example, the light emission control unit 37 controls the supply of electric power from the power source 23 to the light emitting element 43 and causes the light emitting element 43 to emit light using a predetermined light emitting pattern, thereby notifying the user of the pressure storage completion notification. When the processing of step S507 ends, the process proceeds to step S508.

In step S508, the motor control unit 34 supplies power from the power source 23 to the vibration motor 41, and operates (drives) the vibration motor 41, thereby performing awake processing. The awake process is a process in which the user is given a vibration stimulus (small pressure) caused by the wooden case 13 driven by the vibration motor 41 to raise the user's awake level. By performing the sober processing that raises the level of sobriety, the user is awakened to a state of consciousness rather than a state of dimness of the user's consciousness.

There is no particular limitation on the driving pattern of the vibrating motor 41 or its continuation period. For example, in the wake-up process, the vibration motor 41 may be driven intermittently. For example, a plurality of cycles of the vibration time for driving the vibration motor 41 and the rest time for stopping the driving may be repeated. At this time, the vibration time and the rest time of the vibration motor 41 may be changed in each cycle. For example, the vibration time and the rest time of the vibration motor 41 in the first cycle of the awake process are set to 200 ms, respectively. After the second cycle, the vibration time and the rest time can also be set to 20 ms each. In the awake process, the awake process is completed at a point in time when a predetermined number of cycles are completed, or a certain time has elapsed from the start of the awake process, and the control flow shown in FIG. 19 is ended. In addition, in this embodiment, as in the embodiment 1, in the wakefulness processing, a method other than the stimulation of vibration can be used to increase the user's wakefulness level. For example, the user may be awakened by making the light-emitting element 43.

In addition, the sobriety process can have a different pattern according to the remaining amount of the battery 230, and also has an alarm function of the remaining amount of the battery. For example, in the sober processing in which the remaining amount of the battery 230 is sufficient, the light-emitting element 43 may be lighted to a predetermined first color (for example, blue), and the vibration motor 41 may be made to have a predetermined vibration state ( For example, "200ms vibration + 200ms rest") after several cycles (for example, four cycles), the At the same time when the operation ends, the light-emitting element 43 is turned off. In addition, in the sober processing in a state where the remaining amount of the battery 230 is small, the light-emitting element 43 may be lighted to a predetermined second color (for example, red) while the vibration motor 41 may be made to have a predetermined vibration pattern (for example, After a few cycles (for example, five cycles) of "200ms vibration + 200ms rest"), the operation of the vibration motor 41 is ended, and the light emitting element 43 is turned off. In addition, the above-mentioned aspect is an example and can be changed suitably.

Further, in step S506 of the sweating amount determination processing, when the determination is completed that the sweating measurement value Gt is equal to or more than the threshold for determination, when the process proceeds to step S509, the determination unit 38 determines the start of the main processing. Whether the elapsed time T _i from the hour (time Tb shown in FIG. 17) has passed the preset predetermined first time-out time ΔTto. In this control example, although the first timeout time ΔTto is set to 180 seconds, the user can also change the setting of the first timeout time ΔTto. The judging unit 38 can obtain the elapsed time T _i from the start of the main process by the timer unit 39.

In step S509, when the elapsed time after the start of the main process determines T _i has not elapsed when the first timeout △ Tto, the processing returns to step S501, the repeated processing of steps S501 to S506. Then, in step S509, when it is determined that the elapsed time T _i after the start of the main processing has passed the first time-out time ΔTto, the process proceeds to step S510 to notify the user of the time-out notification for conveying the intention of time-out. For example, the light-emission control unit 37 causes the light-emitting element 43 to emit light by using a predetermined light-emission pattern, thereby allowing the timeout notification. When the execution of the overtime notification ends, the control flow shown in FIG. 19 is ended.

As described above, according to the stress degree analysis control of this embodiment, the user's mental sweating amount measured by the predictive characteristic amount measurement period ΔTmp which is set to a period shorter than the main process continued maximum period ΔTmax. Over time, predicting the minimum amount of sweat The measurement mode 351 and the maximum sweat amount prediction mode 352 can predict the minimum and maximum values of the user's mental sweat amount in the future as time changes. In addition, using the minimum and maximum values of the user's mental sweating amount predicted based on the prediction mode described above, the mentality of the user measured in the sweating amount determination period ΔTmj after the prediction characteristic amount measurement period ΔTmp is used. The measured value of the amount of sweat is scaled, so that even if the characteristics of the change in the amount of mental sweat of each user are greatly changed, the amount of sweat obtained during the determination of the amount of sweat during the Tmj period can be completed. The fluctuation range of the measured value Gt is narrowed to a certain extent. According to the analysis and control of the degree of stress according to this embodiment, as described above, by using an algorithm that reduces the personal difference in the characteristics of the change in the amount of mental sweat, even in the judgment threshold value used for the judgment of the amount of sweat When it is set to a fixed value, the proportion of cases where notification of overtime notification is notified becomes excessively high, but the proportion of cases where notification of pressure relief completion notification is completed after the sweating amount determination process is started can be suppressed. , And can realize the taster 1 with good usability.

FIG. 20 is a graph showing the time lapse of the sweat value measurement value Gt when the amount of sweating is measured and tabulated when a plurality of users (inspection objects) using the sucker 1 are subjected to stress level analysis control. FIG. 21 is a graph showing the time lapse of the correction-completed sweat amount measurement value G when the pressure degree analysis control is performed on a plurality of users who use the sucker 1. FIG. The corrected sweating measurement value G in FIG. 21 is a value obtained by dividing the measured value of the user's mental sweating by the initial baseline sweating amount G # max, and using the minimum sweating prediction mode 351 and the sweating maximum The scaling process of the minimum and maximum values of the mental sweat amount predicted by the value prediction mode 352 is not performed. In addition, the scaled completed sweat amount measurement value Gt shown in FIG. 20 and the corrected completed sweat amount measurement value G shown in FIG. 21 are based on the spirit measured by the same plurality of test subjects (11 persons). Calculated by the measured value of the amount of sexual sweat.

Comparing Figures 20 and 21, we can see that only the amount of mental sweat The correction of the measured sweat value G obtained by dividing the measured value by the initial baseline sweat amount G # max is the result of each test object (personal difference) when the elapsed time after starting the main process is the same time. The variation is large (refer to Figure 21). On the other hand, it can be seen that the scaled sweating measurement value Gt shown in FIG. 20 is a variation generated by each test object (personal difference) when the elapsed time after the main process is started is the same time, Compared to the correction-completed sweating measurement value G shown in FIG. 21, it is smaller.

Compared with the situation evaluated by the scaled sweating amount measurement value Gt in the corrected sweating amount measurement value G in FIG. 21, the variation due to personal differences is large, so it will be used for sweating. When the threshold for determination of the amount determination processing is set to a fixed value, it is easy to be judged to be low immediately after the sweating amount determination processing is started when most of the test objects are overtime or conversely with a small number of sips. The tendency to stress. For example, when the sweat amount measurement value G is corrected using the correction shown in FIG. 21 and the judgment threshold for sweat amount determination processing is set to about 0.6, most of the test objects will be timed out. Conversely, if the judgment is used, If the threshold value is increased to about 0.9, even if the actual amount of mental sweating is only reduced by only 10% from the initial baseline sweating amount G # max, there is no concern about this. After the sweating amount determination process is started, most The test object is easily judged as having a tendency to a low pressure state.

In contrast, when the sweat amount determination process is performed using the sweat value measurement value Gt shown in the scale shown in FIG. 20, for example, when the judgment threshold used for the sweat amount determination process is set to about 0.2, it is large. Most of the subjects will not cause timeout, and the scaled sweating measurement value Gt will not be lower than the threshold for judgment (here 0.2) immediately after entering the sweating judgment period △ Tmj. The subject is in a state of sufficient ingestion and the stress is actually eliminated Under the status of being notified of the completion of pressure relief. That is, according to the analysis and control of the degree of stress according to this implementation form, even if the characteristics of the perspiration of each user vary, most users will not cause a timeout, and the pressure can be effectively eliminated. In this state, the user is notified of the pressure relief completion notification, and has very good ease of use.

In addition, the control unit 30 of the taster 1 implementing the mode 3 may also have a learning processing unit, which is based on the measurement of the amount of mental sweat of the user measured by the control unit 30 during the analysis and control of the stress level. Value, the sweating minimum value prediction mode 351 and sweating maximum value prediction mode 352 stored (memorized) in the memory unit 35 are updated. That is, the learning processing unit can also use mechanical learning with the sweating minimum learning data as the teacher's data to predict the transition of the user's mental sweating amount during the measurement period of the characteristic amount for prediction △ Tmp and the maximum period during which the main processing continues. △ Tmax learns (training) the correlation of the minimum value of the user ’s mental sweating amount, thereby modifying the coefficient of the weight a _i of formula (1), and updating the minimum sweating amount prediction model 351, which has the smallest sweating amount The value learning data is the transition between the measured value of the user's mental sweating amount during the measurement of the characteristic amount for prediction △ Tmp obtained when the user uses the inhaler 1 and the user who has continued the maximum processing period △ Tmax. The minimum value of the measured value of the amount of mental sweating corresponds to the one obtained.

Similarly, the learning processing unit can also use mechanical learning with the sweating maximum learning data as the teacher's data to predict the transition of the user's mental sweat during the measurement period of the characteristic amount for prediction △ Tmp and the maximum period during which the main processing continues. △ Tmax learns (training) the correlation of the maximum value of the user's mental sweating, thereby modifying the coefficient of the weight b _i of formula (2), and updating the maximum sweating prediction model 352, which is the maximum sweating The value learning data is the transition between the measured value of the user's mental sweating amount during the measurement of the characteristic amount for prediction △ Tmp obtained when the user uses the inhaler 1 and the user who has continued the maximum processing period △ Tmax. The maximum value of the measured value of the amount of mental sweating corresponds to the one obtained.

Furthermore, the minimum sweat amount prediction mode 351 and the maximum sweat amount prediction mode 352 stored in the memory 35 are not necessarily prediction modes constructed (generated) by mechanical learning, and may be constructed by other methods. Forecasting mode.

In addition, in the implementation of the stress level analysis control of the mode 3, the measured value of the user's mental sweating during the sweating amount determination period ΔTmj (specifically, the corrected sweating amount measurement value G) , The minimum predicted value Gpmin predicted by the prediction unit 50 is set to the first value ("0" in the above example), and the maximum predicted value Gpmax predicted by the prediction unit 50 is set to the second value (in the above example) It is "1"), and the min-max scale processing is performed. Therefore, although the threshold value for determination is set within a range from the first value to the second value, it is not limited to this.

For example, when the min-max scale of the user's mental sweating value measured during the sweat amount determination period ΔTmj is not performed, the setting unit 36 is the minimum predicted value that the prediction unit 50 can predict. The range above Gpmin and below the maximum predicted value Gpmax sets the threshold for determination. In this case, the unit of the amount of mental sweat and the threshold value for judgment is not particularly limited. For example, when the minimum predicted value Gpmin predicted by the prediction unit 50 is 0.6 [μS] and the predicted maximum predicted value Gpmax is 2.5 [μS], the determination threshold value applicable to the sweat amount determination process may be set to 0.6 [μS] or more and 2.5 [μS] or less. For example, the threshold value for determination may be set to the average of the minimum predicted value Gpmin and the maximum predicted value Gpmax. According to the analysis and control of the degree of stress according to this embodiment, since the threshold for judgment is set in the range from the minimum predicted value Gpmin predicted by the prediction unit 50 to the maximum predicted value Gpmax, it is not The threshold value for determination can be set to an appropriate value because it is greatly affected by the variation of the fluctuation characteristics of the perspiration amount of each user.

Furthermore, according to the analysis and control of the degree of stress in this embodiment, the min-max scale of the measured value of the user's mental sweat during the sweat amount determination period ΔTmj can be further reduced. Due to the influence of variation in the characteristics of the change in the amount of mental sweat caused by each user, a taster 1 with good usability can be provided.

In addition, in the sweating amount determination processing of the stress degree analysis control of this embodiment, when the min-max scale processing is performed, the minimum predicted value Gpmin predicted by the prediction unit 50 is set to 0 as the first value. The example is explained and the case where the maximum predicted value Gpmax is set to 1 as the second value is described, but the combination of the first value and the second value is not limited to a specific value.

In addition, a program for executing each of the processes described above may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium.
