Abstract

An information processing unit is provided which positively stabilizes a user's feeling and physical condition by deciding the user's feeling and physical condition based on the user's body temperature change and the like. Depending on the user's hand temperature, a CPU ( 110 ) automatically selects an aromatic for stabilizing the user's feeling and physical condition change, and directs an aromatic sprayer ( 50 ) to spray the aromatic, or directs a display part ( 40 ) to display a countermeasure message for maintaining the physical condition. This positively stabilizes the user's feeling and physical condition.

Claims (25)

1. An information processing unit comprising:

an input part with a temperature sensor which accepts an input operation of a user and, in response to a contact of the user's hand at time of input, measures the temperature of the hand;

a container for holding an aromatic;

an aromatic spray part having a passage communicating with the container and a nozzle communicating with the passage; and

an aromatic spray controller that is connected via an interface to the temperature sensor and controls the aromatic spray part, based on a temperature signal received from the temperature sensor, wherein,

the aromatic spray controller receives the temperature signal measured by the temperature sensor and, when a temperature indicated by the temperature signal reaches a predetermined temperature, outputs to the aromatic spray part an aromatic spray start signal to execute an aromatic spray from the nozzle of the aromatic spray part.

2. The information processing unit according to claim 1 , wherein,

the container of the aromatic spray part is constructed so that a plurality of different kinds of aromatics can be held,

a plurality of nozzles is provided so that different aromatics can be sprayed, and

the aromatic spray controller, depending on the temperature signal received from the temperature sensor, outputs to the aromatic spray part an aromatic spray start signal to execute a suitable kind of aromatic spray.

3. The information processing unit according to claim 1 , wherein the aromatic spray part is provided outside of a main body of the information processing unit.

4. The information processing unit according to claim 1 , wherein the input part is a mouse or a keyboard.

5. The information processing unit according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle of the aromatic spray part is provided either inside the main body of the information processing unit or inside the input part, or alternatively, either outside the main body of the information processing unit or outside the input part.

6. A game machine comprising:

an input part with a temperature sensor which accepts an input operation of a user and, in response to a contact of the user's hand at time of input, measures the temperature of the hand;

a container for holding an aromatic;

an aromatic spray part having a passage communicating with the container and a nozzle communicating with the passage; and

an aromatic spray controller that is connected via an interface to the temperature sensor and controls the aromatic spray part, based on a temperature signal received from the temperature sensor, wherein,

the aromatic spray controller receives the temperature signal from the temperature sensor and, when a temperature indicated by the temperature signal reaches a predetermined temperature, outputs to the aromatic spray part an aromatic spray start signal to execute an aromatic spray from the nozzle of the aromatic spray part.

7. The game machine according to claim 6 , wherein,

the container of the aromatic spray part is constructed so that a plurality of different kinds of aromatics can be held,

a plurality of nozzles is provided so that different aromatics can be sprayed, and

the aromatic spray controller, depending on the temperature signal received from the temperature sensor, outputs to the aromatic spray part an aromatic spray start signal to execute a suitable kind of aromatic spray.

8. The game machine according to claim 6 , wherein the aromatic spray part is provided outside of a main body of the game machine.

9. The game machine according to claim 6 , wherein the nozzle of the aromatic spray part is provided either inside the main body of the game machine or inside the input part, or alternatively, either outside the main body of the game machine or outside the input part.
