Abstract

There is provided a walking support system for a combined training including: a walking assist device configured to move in accordance with an operation of a user to assist a walking of the user; a voice output unit configured to output a voice; and a task load unit configured to perform a voice-output for a task to the user via the voice output unit when the walking assist device is used by the user during the walking, the task being answerable by the voice.

Claims (48)

1 . A walking support system for a combined training comprising:

a walking assist device configured to move in accordance with an operation of a user to assist a walking of the user;

a voice output unit configured to output a voice; and

a task load unit configured to perform a voice-output for a task to the user via the voice output unit when the walking assist device is used by the user during the walking, the task being answerable by the voice.

2 . The walking support system for the combined training according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a voice input unit configured to receive a voice answer to the task from the user;

an answer analysis unit configured to analyze the voice answer received via the voice input unit; and

a notification unit configured to notify an analysis information of the voice answer provided by the answer analysis unit.

3 . The walking support system for the combined training according to claim 2 , further comprising:

an analysis information collection unit configured to collect the analysis information of the voice answer provided by the answer analysis unit;

an answer evaluation unit configured to evaluate an execution degree of the task based on the analysis information collected by the analysis information collection unit; and

a teaching unit configured to teach an evaluation information related to the execution degree of the task evaluated by the answer evaluation unit.

4 . The walking support system for the combined training according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a reward granting unit configured to determine and grant a reward to the user in accordance with the execution degree of the task evaluated by the answer evaluation unit.

5 . The walking support system for the combined training according to claim 1 , wherein the walking assist device includes a device communication device,

wherein the walking support system further comprises a mobile terminal including a terminal communication device which is communicable with the device communication device, and

wherein the mobile terminal includes the voice output unit and the task load unit.

6 . The walking support system for the combined training according to claim 5 , wherein the walking assist device includes an attachment member to which the mobile terminal is detachably attached.

7 . The walking support system for the combined training according to claim 2 , further comprising:

an elapsed time measurement unit configured to measure an elapsed time elapsed after the voice-output the task is performed via the task load unit; and

a time determination unit configured to determine whether the elapsed time reaches a predetermined first elapsed time in a state where the voice answer to the task is not received via the voice input unit,

wherein when the time determination unit determines that the elapsed time reaches the predetermined first elapsed time, the task load unit performs again the voice-output of the task via the voice output unit.

8 . The walking support system for the combined training according to claim 2 , further comprising:

an elapsed time measurement unit configured to measure an elapsed time elapsed after the voice-output of the task is performed via the task load unit; and

a time determination unit configured to determine whether the elapsed time reaches a predetermined first elapsed time in a state where the voice answer to the task is not received via the voice input unit,

wherein when the time determination unit determines that the elapsed time reaches the predetermined first elapsed time, the task load unit changes the task to another task and performs the voice-output of the another task via the voice output unit.

9 . The walking support system for the combined training according to claim 3 , wherein the walking assist device includes a device communication device,

wherein the walking support system further comprises: a mobile terminal including a terminal communication device which is communicable with the device communication device; and

a server including a server communication device which is communicable with the terminal communication device,

wherein the mobile terminal includes:

the voice output unit, the task load unit, the voice input unit, the answer analysis unit, the notification unit, the analysis information collection unit, and the teaching unit;

a terminal transmission unit configured to transmit the analysis information collected by the analysis information collection unit to the server via the terminal communication device; and

a terminal reception unit configured to receive the evaluation information related to the execution degree of the task from the server via the terminal communication device, and

wherein the server includes:

a server reception unit configured to receive the analysis information collected by the analysis information collection unit via the server communication device;

the answer evaluation unit configured to evaluate the execution degree of the task based on the analysis information which is received by the server reception unit and collected by the analysis information collection unit; and

a server transmission unit configured to transmit the evaluation information related to the execution degree of the task evaluated by the answer evaluation unit to the mobile terminal via the server communication device.

10 . The walking support system for the combined training according to claim 3 , wherein the walking assist device includes a device communication device,

wherein the walking support system further comprises a server including a server communication device which is communicable with the device communication device,

wherein the walking assist device includes:

the voice output unit, the task load unit, the voice input unit, the answer analysis unit, the notification unit, the analysis information collection unit, and the teaching unit;

a device transmission unit configured to transmit the analysis information collected by the analysis information collection unit to the server via the device communication device; and

a device reception unit configured to receive the evaluation information related to the execution degree of the task from the server via the device communication device, and

the server includes:

a server reception unit configured to receive the analysis information collected by the analysis information collection unit via the server communication device;

the answer evaluation unit configured to evaluate the execution degree of the task based on the analysis information which is received by the server reception unit and collected by the analysis information collection unit; and

a server transmission unit configured to transmit the evaluation information related to the execution degree of the task evaluated by the answer evaluation unit to the walking assist device via the server communication device.

11 . The walking support system for the combined training according to claim 1 , wherein the task includes at least one of a calculation question, a four-basic-math-operation question, a quiz question, and a question of a menu of a meal eaten by the user.
