    In the life cycle of people, it is interesting to observe the correct development in the childhood stage, as well as possible symptoms of degenerative diseases in the advanced stages of age. Some of the aspects to observe are the evolution of psychomotor and cognitive abilities. The present invention focuses on the observation of manual skills, memory and level of attention and aims to improve the current systems of observation of the activity of people of any age with the pin boards. The games with traditional peg boards consist of a board with holes in which pegs are inserted. The specialists measure the total time in carrying out proposed activities. With the present invention it is proposed to make an electronic measurement that gives greater precision and the possibility of making partial measurements. In addition, it allows other types of additional measures such as the level of attention or memory. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

    SYSTEM OF MONITORING OF ACTIVITY8S WITH CLAVIJAS
    SECTOR OF THE TECHNIQUE 5 The present invention belongs to the health sector, medical diagnosis, the development of child development and care for the elderly. STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE
    Peg boards have a great tradition in the study of manual dexterity,
    10 to the point that some of them have not undergone substantial changes since 1948, as is the case with the Purdue pin board [1]. Have also new boards appeared, such as the FDT (Functional Dexterity Test), with their corresponding scoring standards [2], specifically designed to study the functional level in people with dominant or non-dominant hand injuries, or the
    15 Nine-Hole Peg Test, of which there are standards for children and adults [3]. This last board has been incorporated into the Toolbox Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function test battery, recommended for its reliability, ease of application and low cost by the US National Institutes of Health. (National Institutes of Health, NIH) [4]. The different boards have been tested both in children
    20 [5.6]. as in adults [7]. They are used to assess manual dexterity in people with Parkinson's disease [8]. with Down syndrome [9]. or with Asperger syndrome
    or autism [10.11].
    In all these boards. the time it takes to measure with a manual stopwatch
    25 insert a number of pins (9-Hole Pegboard Dexterity Test or FDT-Functional Dexterity Test). or the number of pins placed in a certain time (30 seconds in the Purdue Pegboard Test). DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    The objective of the invention is to monitor the times of the different actions of which an activity is composed in the use of the pin board.
    The system consists of a board with holes in which pins are inserted. The board consists of a sensor placed in each of the holes that allows to detect if a pin has been inserted in the hole. An example of a sensor

    that can be used is a slotted phototransistor that has a light emitter on one side of the slot and a receiver on the opposite side. The light receiver detects when the plug intercepts the beam by inserting it into the corresponding hole. The system consists of a sensor controller that polls the status of the sensors and sends a periodic reading of the status to a processor. The processor is able to know when there has been a change in a sensor with millisecond precision. The board also has a multicolored led light emitter associated with each of the holes. The color of the light emitter can be selected, indicating the status of the sensor. The light emitter can also be used to develop activities in which when the color associated with a certain hole changes color, the user is instructed to insert or remove a plug from said hole. In this case the system measures the reaction time from when the light is turned on until the sensor detects that the plug has been inserted.
    The programming of the board is carried out by means of a microcontroller associated with the controllers of the sensors and the light emitters, as well as the rest of the system components.
    The board consists of a speaker that can produce sounds, indicating instructions to start an activity, anomalies in the operation of the system or the achievement of an activity successfully. The board consists of a wireless communication system with which the results of the monitoring are sent to a data collection system. The board consists of a battery with a connector to charge it, and a switch to start or stop it.
    A collection system, communicated wirelessly with the board, will instruct the processor to start or stop the monitoring of an activity and will receive data from it.
    The activities can be managed by users from a user interface that runs on a smartphone, tablet or computer and can communicate wirelessly (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, etc.) with the collector or directly if it is in The same physical equipment. The collector communicates through a network connection, with the storage system to send the data collected from the
    35 activities
    The storage system saves the information of the different activities in a database: type of activity, date on which the activity was carried out, the instants of time in which changes have occurred in the sensors, the values of the sensors in those moments and the annotations about professionals who have observed the activity (if applicable).
    The analysis system retrieves the information from the storage system to analyze it using data analysis techniques and artificial intelligence and obtain a diagnosis of any anomaly detected in the data of the analyzed person. To apply these analyzes, you can count on both the history of the same person with different activities with the pegboard made at different times (longitudinal analysis), and with data of the same type of activity, obtained from many people with characteristics similar (transversal analysis).
    The communication between the different parts (board, collector, storage system and analysis system) is carried out using appropriate security mechanisms to guarantee an adequate level of privacy, authenticity and data integrity. Likewise, standard mechanisms will be used to implement a data access control so that they can only be manipulated by authorized persons.
    Various embodiments of the invention can be made, with different shapes and thicknesses of pins depending on the degree of difficulty to be defined. The shapes can be for example cylinders, quadrangular prisms or triangular prisms. The boards can have different configurations in terms of the number of holes and their arrangement. Some examples are: a single row of 8 holes, two rows of 10 holes each or a 3 x 3 hole matrix.
    An activity carried out on a board with two rows of 10 holes, consists of introducing 10 pins to complete one of the rows, being able to do the activity with the right hand and with the left hand. Another activity on the same board model consists in starting from a row with the pins inside, and taking out each one of the pins to introduce them in the hole that occupies the same position in the other row. These two activities allow you to measure manual dexterity.
    Another activity to measure the level of attention is to introduce pins in the holes corresponding to the lights that change color and measure the time elapsed between the color change of the light emitter and the introduction of the plug in the corresponding hole. Another activity to measure the retention capacity of memory sequences is to turn on a sequence of lights for a while and verify if the user inserts the pins in the same sequence, in this case measuring both reaction times and failures in the order of sequence.
    The advantages provided by the invention with respect to the classic boards are:
    • Precision.
    o It presents the results with greater accuracy when carrying an internal chronometer that is operated by sensors placed in the holes to detect if there is no pin inserted.
    o It allows to differentiate between the time invested in moving the pins and the return time of the hand.
    o It allows recording the time for each of the plugs.
    o It allows comparing the time of the first half of the pegs (in which the hand must cross the middle line of the board) against the second half, without crossing the middle line, provided that a specific order is followed in the placement of the pegs
    o It allows analyzing the trajectory of each pin (from which hole it comes out and where it ends), to see if the shortest path has been used.
    o It allows to know if two or more pegs move at the same time.
    o It allows to compare with great accuracy the times of the right hand and the left hand.
    o It allows comparing the electronic and manual times (in case at any time it is necessary to use the board without the electronic measurement).
    • Usability
    o The diameter of the 10 mm cylindrical pins and the dimensions of the board allow its use with small children.
    o The instructions can be very simple or you can even do without them.
    o The board can be used anywhere without a special installation, such as nursery schools, pediatric consultations, etc.
    o The board can be used by personnel without a special qualification.
    The board can be used to measure both manual dexterity and attention span and memory capacity. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
    Figure 1: The figure shows a diagram of the external appearance of the board with holes
    (101) into which the pins (102) are inserted. The light emitters (103), the battery charging connector (104), the on and off switch (105) and the speaker that incorporates (106) can also be observed.
    Figure 2: This figure shows a diagram of the internal components of the board. These components are: two rows of sensors (one sensor per hole) (201) and its controller (202), two rows of light emitters (203) and its controller (204), the system microcontroller (205), a speaker (206) and a radio frequency transmitter / receiver (207), a battery (208) and its charging connector (209), and the on / off switch (210).
    Figure 3: This figure shows the board (301) in relation to the rest of the system. This system consists of a data collector (302), a user interface on a device (tablet, pe, Smartphone, etc.) (303), the communications network (304), and storage servers (305) and for analysis (306). MODE OF REALIZATION
    An embodiment of this system consists of a board with cylindrical pins 10 mm in diameter and a distribution of holes in 2 rows of 10 holes each with a hole spacing of the same row of 20 mm and a spacing between rows of 100 mm .
    Inside the board, a slotted phototransistor with a top slot of 10 mm is used as the status sensor of each hole. The circuit that reads the information of the 20 sensors consists of displacement registers that perform a parallel reading of the 20 sensor inputs and send them to the microprocessor through a serial line. The multicolored led lights consist of 20 multicolored led modules with integrated controller that are connected in series. This strip of chained LEDs is connected to a digital output of the microcontroller through which the color of each LED is transmitted sequentially.
    The buzzer to produce sounds consists of a piezo buzzer connected to a digital output of the microcontroller. A chip of the ATMEL family can be used as a microcontroller. The microcontroller continuously reads the status of the sensors and updates the colors of the LEDs to adapt them to the read state. Each time there is a change in the status of any of the 20 sensors, the controller sends the new state to the collecting system through a radiofrequency system. As a radio frequency a 2.4GHz module can be used. The collector can be implemented on a Rapsberry Pi minicomputer that will have software in charge of collecting the data of an activity and once it is finished save them for
    15 subsequently take them to a server protected with cryptographic mechanisms to guarantee the privacy, authentication and integrity of the data. INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION
    The monitored pin boards are clearly susceptible to application
    20 industrial. These boards can be used by health professionals, child development and care for the elderly, to measure manual dexterity or level of attention and reaction capacity, or the ability to remember a sequence, depending on the activity performed. REFERENCES.
