Abstract

The present invention includes: a center of gravity measurement unit 10 configured to measure a change in a center of gravity position of a standing posture of a user; a tactile stimulation signal generation unit 20 configured to, in a case where the center of gravity position deviates from a predetermined range, generate a tactile stimulation signal for applying tactile stimulation to the user; and a tactile stimulation presentation unit 30 configured to convert the tactile stimulation signal into tactile stimulation and present the tactile stimulation to a sole of a foot of the user.

Claims (11)

1 . A center of gravity control support device comprising:

a center of gravity measurement unit, including one or more processors, configured to measure a change in a center of gravity position of a standing posture of a user;

a tactile stimulation signal generation unit, including one or more processors, configured to, in a case where the center of gravity position deviates from a predetermined range, generate a tactile stimulation signal for applying tactile stimulation to the user in accordance with a direction that deviates from the predetermined range; and

a tactile stimulation presentation unit, including one or more processors, configured to convert the tactile stimulation signal into tactile stimulation and present the tactile stimulation to a sole of a foot of the user.

2 . The center of gravity control support device according to claim 1 , wherein

the tactile stimulation is thermal stimulation.

3 . A center of gravity control support method performed by a center of gravity control support device, the method comprising:

a center of gravity measurement step of measuring a change in a center of gravity position of a standing posture of a user;

a tactile stimulation signal generation step of, in a case where the center of gravity position deviates from a predetermined range, generating a tactile stimulation signal for applying tactile stimulation to the user in accordance with a direction that deviates from the predetermined range; and

a tactile stimulation presentation step of converting the tactile stimulation signal into tactile stimulation and presenting the tactile stimulation to a sole of a foot of the user.

4 . The center of gravity control support method according to claim 3 , wherein the tactile stimulation is thermal stimulation.
