STRESS EVALUATION APPARATUS, STRESS EVALUATION METHOD AND STRESS EVALUATION PROGRAM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A stress evaluation apparatus comprising:
- a detection sensor for detecting a muscle potential of a measuring object muscle of an operator;
a calculation process portion for receiving time series information of the muscle potential, which is detected by the detection sensor, and calculating strength information of the muscle potential based on the received time series information of the muscle potential; and
an evaluation portion for comparing the calculated strength information with a predetermined evaluation standard to make an evaluation of stress that the operator receives while an in-vehicle device is operated by the operator, wherein;
the measuring object muscle includes;
a muscle that connects an upper limb and a spine;
oranother muscle that connects the upper limb and an anterior chest wall and that connects the upper limb and a lateral chest wall; and
the in-vehicle device is operated by the upper limb of the operator.

Abstract
A stress evaluation apparatus, a stress evaluation method, and a program for evaluating stress received by an operator during when an in-vehicle device is operated by an upper limb are provided. The apparatus includes a detection sensor, a calculation process portion and an evaluation portion. The detection sensor detects a muscle potential of a measuring object muscle of the operator. The calculation process portion receives time series information of the muscle potential to calculate strength information. The evaluation portion compares the strength information with an evaluation standard to make an evaluation of stress of the operator. The method includes detecting a muscle potential of a measuring object muscle, receiving time series information of the muscle potential to calculate strength information, and comparing the strength information with an evaluation standard to evaluate stress. A medium storing a computer-executable program that causes a computer to perform the above-described method is provided.
