    By computer is meant here any device that is provided with a calculation unit, a storage medium for storing program codes and input means, such as a PC, smartphone, tablet, VR glasses, etc.
    The display of information on a screen can also be understood to mean moving an arrow. The display does not have to be part of the computer, but can also be an external device where the computer sends out information that can be displayed on an external display.
    A measuring body is here understood to mean any body / part on which one can sit or stand and on which sensors can be fitted. This can be a separate part that is placed on a chair or bench, but can also be part of a chair, bench or floor.
    State of the art
    Such a computer is known from DEI02006006725Al. This known computer is controlled by pressure sensors that are present in a seat on which the user sits.
    Summary of the invention
    An object of the invention is to provide a computer of the type described in the preamble in which the experience of the game or exercise is more intense. To this end, the computer according to the invention is characterized in that the program codes, if executed by the calculation unit, further ensure that the calculation unit determines the heart rate and the respiration rate of the person sitting or standing on the measuring body from the measuring signals originating from the sensors and also determines the displays information on a screen and / or controls the actuators present in the measuring body or in an external device. By incorporating physical (position, posture) and emotionally related (heart rate, breathing) measurements in the operation of a computer game or computer-related exercise, the game or exercise can be taken to a higher level of experience. By analyzing qualitative values from heart rate rhythms, the invention provides data with which various interventions can be used to optimize the user's experience.
    Preferably, each sensor is connected to a Wheatstone bridge, which is connected to a computer chip via an A / D converter. As a result, the heart rate information and respiration rate can advantageously be obtained from the measurement signals. The sensors can be, for example, pressure sensors, piezo sensors, vibration sensors or tensile sensors.
    An embodiment of the computer according to the invention is characterized in that the input means further comprise a seat cushion which is present on the measuring body. The measuring body with the seat cushion can form a loose measuring cushion, with or without a wobbly seat on which the user keeps moving constantly to remain in balance. Just like the measuring body, the seat cushion can also be part of a chair or bench.
    The measuring body preferably comprises a rigid disc, the sensors being present directly on the rigid disc. Furthermore, the measuring body preferably has a further rigid disc which is present directly on the sensors, so that the sensors are enclosed between two rigid discs, the seat cushion being present on the further rigid disc. Due to this construction, accurate and reproducible measured values can be obtained.
    A further embodiment of the computer according to the invention is characterized in that the input means comprise at least three further sensors which are present upside-down on the said sensors and which are also in communication with the calculation unit. Each sensor of each pair of sensors present on top of each other, formed by one sensor and a further sensor, should give the same signal. If one of the sensors is less accurate, the inaccuracy of the measurement signal is reduced by averaging the measurement signals from both sensors.
    Brief description of the drawings
    The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to an illustrative embodiment of the computer according to the invention shown in the drawings. Hereby shows:
    Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the computer with input means according to the invention;
    Figure 2 shows a top view of the rigid disc with the pressure sensors thereon,
    Figure 3 is a block diagram of the electronics of the input means, and
    Figure 4 shows the measurement signal from one of the sensors.
    Detailed description of the drawings
    Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the computer with input means according to the invention. The computer 1 has a computing unit 3, an associated storage medium 5 for storing program codes, and input means 7 connected thereto. To which computer a screen 9 is further connected. The input means 7 have a measuring body 11 and a seat cushion 15 present thereon. The measuring body 11 has two rigid disks 17 and 19 with four sensors 13 between them, which are present at the vertices of an imaginary square, for measuring the weight and the weight distribution of a person sitting on the measuring body. The input means 7 form a measuring cushion with a wobbly seat cushion on which you keep moving constantly to remain in balance. This measuring pad can be applied to the seat of a chair or sofa, but also as a tile to stand on.
    The calculation unit 3 continuously determines the position and posture of the person sitting on the measuring body 11 from the measuring signals originating from the sensors, as well as mood indicators of this person, such as heart rate, respiration, stress level. The calculator 3, on the basis of the stored program codes, on the basis of the determined position and posture of the person on the measuring body 11 and on the basis of the measured mood indicators, gives control signals for moving in a computer game or computer-related exercise of an image on the screen 9 and / or for activating actuators (not shown in the figures), for example in the measuring body 11 or in an external device, and / or for adjusting game or exercise parameters.
    Figure 2 shows the bottom rigid disc 17 with the sensors 13 thereon in top view. The sensors are designed as pressure sensors and are connected to A / D converters 23 via Wheatstone bridges 21. The Wheatstone bridges each have two resistors 25 and are provided with connections 27 for an external power supply. The sensors 13 are in communication with an internal computer chip 29, which can be connected to the computer 3 via a cable 31 or wire loop.
    Figure 3 shows a block diagram of the electronics of the input means. The input means can optionally be provided with four further sensors 33 which are present upside-down on said sensors 13 and which are also connected via A Wheatstone bridges 21 to A / D converters 23. If one of the sensors, of each pair present on each other sensors 13 and 23, would be less accurate, the inaccuracy of the measurement signal is reduced by averaging the measurement signals from both sensors 13 and 23.
    Figure 4 shows a measurement signal 35 from a sensor 13. The program codes - if executed by the calculation unit - ensure that the calculation unit 3 uses the measurement signals 35 from the sensors to measure the heart rate 37 (high peaks in the measurement signal) and the respiration rate 39 (from the connecting line through the peaks of the heart rate peaks). person sitting on the measuring body 11. The invention operates on the basis of a ballistocardiogram (BCG) signal. The beating of the heart causes the body to move up and down a little with each heartbeat. This signal can be detected with pressure sensors when the weight of the hull is positioned above the sensor. The expansion of the lungs during an inhalation increases the pressure on the blood vessels, making the rise and fall of the body more visible with a relatively greater amplitude of the heartbeat. By comparing the amplitudes of the heartbeats, breathing can be observed.
    Although the invention has been elucidated in the foregoing with reference to the drawings, it should be noted that the invention is by no means limited to the embodiment shown in the drawings. The invention also extends to all embodiments deviating from the embodiment shown in the drawings within the scope defined by the claims. For example, instead of the pressure sensors shown here, the sensors can also be designed as piezo sensors, vibration sensors or tensile sensors.
