Development of the clothing environmental measuring system using a specific compact telemeter

近年来，人们期待着改善舒适感和辅助功能的人类服装产品。要开发这些服装产品，不仅要在实验室水平上掌握环境的实际情况，而且要在户外生成服装。因此，我们开发了一种使用专用小型遥测仪的服装环境测量系统，它清楚了许多人的因素，如呼吸代谢，皮肤温度，血液流速，血压，小腿和脚的体积随着全球环境的变化而变化。也就是说，即使我们没有积极地改变环境温度，这些因素也会随着季节变化而变化。此外，血流速度随昼夜节律而变化，下肢和足部的压力和体积随月经周期的阶段而显著变化。换句话说，如果我们考虑季节变化，月经周期的阶段和昼夜节律，我们可以实现更舒适的穿着环境。通过这种方式，我们能够调查这些我们不能忽视的因素，以准确地了解服装环境的实际情况，并阐明这些因素的影响。今后，我们打算使用自己开发的专用小型遥测仪，通过服装环境测量系统积累符合实际生活的数据，并达到开发辅助人体功能的产品所需的基本设计指标。

Recently, clothing products for human to improve a comfortable feeling and to assist functions have been expected. To develop these clothing products, we must grasp the environmental actual situation not only in a laboratory level, but also in generated clothing in the outdoors. Therefore we developed the clothing environmental measuring system using a specific compact telemeter.It became clear that many human factors as respiration metabolism, skin temperature, blood velocity, waistband pressure, and volume in lower legs and foot were changing when the global environment changed. That is, these factors changed with a seasonal variation even if we did not change environmental temperature positively. Furthermore, the blood velocity changed with circadian rhythm, and the waistband pressure and the volume of lower legs and foot changed by phase of a menstrual cycle significantly. In other words, if we consider seasonal variation, phase of a menstrual cycle, and circadian rhythm, we can realize more comfortable clothing environment. In this way, we were able to investigate these factors which we must not overlook to understand the actual situation of clothing environment precisely, and to clarify the effects of these factors. In future, we intend to accumulate the data which accorded with actual life with the clothing environmental measuring system using a specific compact telemeter developed by own, and to arrive at the basic design indicator that is necessary for development of a product assisting a function of the human body.
