DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a posture correcting band according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a posture correcting band shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 1, the posture correction band 100 may be provided to prevent a wrist tunnel syndrome of the wrist or to prevent a C-shaped turtle neck on the neck. However, since the posture correction band 100 of FIG. 1 is only an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to FIG. That is, there may be a posture correcting band 100 for preventing a curved shoulder, a posture correcting band 100 for calibrating a curved waist, and the like.

At this time, the posture correction band 100 of FIG. 1 may be connected and synchronized with the user terminal 300 as shown in FIG. 4, generally via a network. In this case, the network means a connection structure in which information can be exchanged between respective nodes such as a plurality of terminals and servers. One example of such a network is a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) Network, a 5rd Generation Partnership Project (5GPP) network, a World Interoperability for Microwave Access (WIMAX) network, the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) (Bluetooth) network, a satellite broadcast network, an analog broadcast network, a DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) network, and the like. The posture correction band 100 shown in FIG. 1 and the user terminal 300 shown in FIG. 4 are not necessarily construed as being illustrated.

In this specification, the posture correction band 100 uses the same band as the concept including the band 130, but it is used to distinguish the different concepts and to distinguish them by giving different reference numerals.

First, referring to FIG. 1, the posture correction band 100 may be a band for correcting the posture of an object. At this time, the object wrapped by the posture correction band 100 may be at least one region of a person. In addition, the posture correction band 100 can sense the movement of the muscles of the object using at least one sensor 110. Here, the at least one sensor 110 may be an electromyography sensor. The attitude correction band 100 may measure the direction and intensity of the movement of the object using at least one sensor 110. Then, the posture correction band 100 grasps the kind of motion by using preset data, and outputs a command for posture correction when it exceeds a preset threshold value mapped to the kind of motion. The posture correction band 100 may also be a band that commands the contraction of the band 130 for posture correction and performs feedback control (PID) by continuously monitoring the state of the object. The attitude correction band 100 may be a band capable of wireless or wired communication so as to pattern the motion of the object or output the patterned data in cooperation with the user terminal 300 . The posture correction band 100 may also include a module that contracts or relaxes the band 130 and the band 130 may have a material or mechanism that contracts or relaxes by the module. The posture correction band 100 may be a band that has been waterproofed or flameproofed.

The user terminal 300 shown in FIG. 4 may be a terminal of a user communicating with the posture correction band 100. The user terminal 300 may be a terminal that receives the log recorded in the posture correction band from the posture correction band 100 and stores the log in synchronization with time and place. The user terminal 300 may be a terminal that captures a user using a photographing module and outputs a warning message when the image of the user and the predetermined image template match. Also, the user terminal 300 may be a terminal for patterning and storing a log, and outputting the patterned log of the user so that the user can recognize the log. Here, the user terminal 300 may be implemented as a computer capable of connecting to a remote server or terminal through a network. Here, the computer may include, for example, a notebook, a desktop, a laptop, and the like on which a WEB browser is installed. Also, the user terminal 300 may be implemented as a terminal capable of connecting to a remote server or terminal through a network. The user terminal 300 is a wireless communication device that is guaranteed to be portable and mobility, for example, a personal communication system (PCS), a global system for mobile communications (GSM), a personal digital cellular (PDC) ), A PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), IMT (International Mobile Telecommunication) -2000, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) -2000, W-CDMA (W-Code Division Multiple Access), Wibro (Wireless Broadband Internet) based wireless communication device, such as a smartphone, a smartpad, a tablet PC, and the like.

2, the attitude correction band 100 includes at least one sensor 110, a control unit 120, a band 130, a control unit 140, an alarm unit 150, and a power source unit 160 ).

At least one sensor 110 may sense motion of the object. Also, the at least one sensor 110 may be a sensor that senses at least one of an angle of an object's moving direction, a moving speed, a moving acceleration, and an intensity of force when the object starts to move, The degree may be at least one of the critical angles, the critical velocity, the critical acceleration, and the intensity of the critical force, which are mapped to and stored in the type of motion. Here, the at least one sensor 110 may be a sensor for sensing the direction and intensity of movement of the object. The at least one sensor 110 may include an electromyography sensor that senses the movement of the muscles of the object. At this time, the electromyogram sensor is a sensor for detecting the action potential (action potential) of the muscles, and a surface derivation method in which electrodes are attached to the skin surface of the human body and the potential is guided can be used. At this time, the at least one sensor 110 induces and amplifies and senses a muscle activity current caused by the contraction of the skeletal muscle, thereby detecting the muscle contraction effect. In the present invention, for the posture correction effect, for example, a tunnel syndrome such as a wrist may occur because the wrist is excessively bent or the wrist is bent for a long time. In the case where the wrist is broken, the at least one sensor 110 senses the direction in which the wrist is moved to detect what kind of movement is occurring, and then, The posture can be corrected by comparing the reference value and the sensed value as to whether or not the wrist tunnel syndrome can occur when the intensity of the wrist tunnel syndrome is maintained at a certain intensity for a certain period of time.

At this time, the at least one sensor 110 may include both a sensor for sensing the direction and a sensor for sensing the intensity. For example, in the case of the wrist, the user may rotate the wrist for a short time, It is not necessary to shrink the band 130 in order to fix the posture until it is stretched to release it. Therefore, if the user is in a certain posture for a long time, if the posture is correct, or if the posture is not correct, If it is not a movement to stretch, it is necessary to grasp whether it is the intensity to which the contraction should proceed.

On the other hand, in the case of a non-wrist, for example, in the case of a shoulder, stretching the shoulder is the right posture. However, when the shoulder is stretched, the muscle is inserted in the contrary to the wrist. When the shoulder is not stretched, The force may not be added. Also, in the case of the neck, if the right posture is maintained, the contraction or tension state of the muscle is maintained, and the state of the turtle neck which does not maintain the correct posture may be in a relaxed state. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the position of the band to be attached to which part, the position of the part is maintained, the direction in which the part is moving, whether the moving in the corresponding direction is to maintain the correct posture, Or whether it is for. For this purpose, the attitude correction band 100 can perform different controls according to the type of the band.

The control unit 120 may classify the types of motions detected by the at least one sensor 110, and may output a control command by being mapped to motions of different types and extracting pre-stored threshold values. At least one sensor 110 may include a sensor for sensing the direction of movement of the object. In this case, the controller 120 may classify the type of movement according to the direction of movement of the object, It is possible to distinguish the type of motion by whether or not the direction of the motion that has been stored and the direction of the previously stored motion coincide with each other. At this time, the controller 120 counts the previous posture holding time before the corresponding data is sensed, and can also consider the type and the time when classifying the motion. For example, if the kind of movement is a movement of folding the wrist in the Z-axis direction, it is necessary to distinguish whether the movement occurs impulsively only within a predetermined time, or continuously maintains the Z-axis direction . The reason for this is that the user must consider the case of folding the wrist in the Z-axis direction for stretching. However, if the user is to prevent excessive bending of the wrist to prevent injury, the default may be set so that no exception occurs.

Accordingly, the control unit 120 grasps the type of movement of the object, and compares the stored threshold value with the sensed value according to the type of motion. In other words, when the degree of contraction is not enough to cause disease, and when the posture is maintained until it is necessary for work or exercise, the control unit 120 does not perform flexible work or exercise, Is excessive.

For example, assuming that the degree of shrinkage to damage the wrist is 10, and the user has moved by an intensity of 3, the control unit 120 may not control to maintain the posture. Of course, the default value of the control unit 120 can be changed by the user, and it is not necessary to set an exceptional condition. In other words, in the case of an ankle-injured patient, the ankle should be prevented from breaking and impacting. In this case, since safety is more important than convenience, the degree of reaction can be controlled by decreasing the threshold value.

Accordingly, when the degree of the detected motion exceeds a threshold value, which is a reference value according to the degree of motion, the controller 120 is mapped to the type of motion, and if the predetermined type of motion exceeds a predetermined threshold value And outputs a shrink command to the adjustment unit 140. [0054]

The band 130 is formed so as to surround the object, and the volume can be increased or contracted or relaxed such that the object contracts or relaxes based on the control command. Here, the band 130 is a band 130 that is contracted or relaxed by atmospheric pressure, hydraulic pressure, power, electricity or heat, and the regulating section 140 includes a device for generating air pressure, hydraulic pressure, .

Here, when the band 130 is contracted or relaxed by air, the adjusting unit 140 may allow air to flow into the space between the outer circumferential surface and the inner circumferential surface of the band 130 to reduce the internal area. For example, assuming that the band 130 has at least two layers, and that a module in which air is introduced into each layer is included in the adjustment unit 140, the adjustment unit 140 may include a band 130 To reduce the area wrapped by the band 130, that is, to shrink the object wrapped by the band 130.

Alternatively, the control unit 140 may cause the stretching of the string inserted in the band 130 to be contracted by using a motor to shrink the band 130. For example, assuming that band 130 is mounted on an object, band 130 may be cylindrical. At this time, when a string is inserted into the band 130 so as to surround the band 130 in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the object is inserted into the cylindrical shape and both ends of the string are connected to the motor so that both ends of the string are pulled by the motor, Can be reduced. That is, when the diameter of the cylindrical shape is reduced, it means that the band 130 can be contracted. Therefore, when the power is used, a motor and a string may be used. At this time, when the control unit 140 performs the contraction, if the restriction is not made, the blood circulation problem may be caused. Therefore, the band 130 may be a band in which the size or shape of the band 130 is fixed so as not to be further contracted if the band 130 receives a predetermined force or more even though the band 130 is contracted through the adjustment unit 140. At this time, the controller 140 is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

The adjuster 140 may increase or decrease the volume of the band 130 such that the band 130 contracts or relaxes. Here, as described above, the controller 140 may use various physical or chemical mechanisms.

The alarm unit 150 may output an alarm when the data based on the type and degree of motion detected by the at least one sensor 110 and predetermined warning data match. The alarm unit 150 may also include an input interface that allows the degree of shrinkage to be set larger or smaller in stages with respect to the muscle signal at the time of initial action when strong motion is sensed by at least one sensor 110 In the case of wrist bands, the risk of tunnel syndrome can also be warned.

The power supply unit 160 may be configured to supply power to each component including the at least one sensor 110, the control unit 120, and the control unit 140. At this time, the power supply unit 160 may be a module that can be charged wirelessly. When the power source is required, the power source unit 160 can output a display, sound, or vibration for power shortage. When the posture control band 100 is interlocked with the user terminal 300 and the power source 160 is short of power, the power source unit 160 controls the user terminal 300 such that the alarm sounds at the user terminal 300 Signal can be transmitted.

The attitude correction band 100 may be connected to the user terminal 300 wirelessly or by wire and the user terminal 300 may be connected to the attitude correction band 100 through the sensor data sensed by the attitude correction band 100, 120 may be synchronized with the time and location to log into the user's history.

FIG. 3 is a view for explaining the driving principle of the posture correcting band shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a view for explaining an embodiment in which the posture correcting band shown in FIG. 1 operates.

Referring to FIG. 3, carpal tunnel syndrome is synonymous with carpal tunnel syndrome, which is the most common compressive neuropathy in the upper limb. Median nerve compression or wrist joint It is caused by median nerve entrapment.

In other words, repeatedly using a keyboard or mouse, such as a computer or smart phone, the nerves of the wrist, the blood vessels and ligaments passing through the carpal tunnel is a symptom of pressure on the nerve, excessive use of the wrist swollen tendons or inflammation The narrowing of the carpal tunnel causes pain, and in the morning, the hands are hardened, the spasms are weak, and the senses are slowed down.

For example, in the case where the tension of the wrist is continuously maintained as shown in (a), the at least one sensor 110 of the present invention senses the tension of the muscles, and the posture correction band 100 Shrinkage control of the band 130 is performed so as not to move the wrist by fixing the wrist.

If the posture of the wrist is correct as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the posture correction band 100 returns to the relaxed state in the contraction state or maintains the relaxed state in the relaxed state because there is no abrupt change in the signal do. At this time, the posture correction band 100 can perform continuous feedback control and continuously detect and monitor the data of the object.

4, when the wrist is in a relaxed state, the posture correction band 100 maintains the relaxed state, (b) when the wrist is contracted, (c) when air is used, Air is introduced into the space between the layers to reduce the space inside the attitude correction band 100 (d) so that the wrist is fixed. In this case, (e) when the user terminal 300 is interlocked with the posture correction band 100, (f) the log may be patterned to output user data.

3 and 4 are not described in the same manner as the description of the posture correcting band and the posture correcting method described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, So that the following description will be omitted.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a process in which data is transmitted and received between the respective components included in FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, an example of a process of transmitting and receiving a signal according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5. However, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment, and according to various embodiments described above, It is apparent to those skilled in the art that the process of transmitting and receiving the shown data can be changed.

Referring to FIG. 5, at least one sensor 110 senses movement and intensity of an object (S5100), and transmits the data to the control unit 120 (S5200).

Then, the control unit 120 determines the type of motion (S5300), determines the degree of motion (S5400), and determines whether a predetermined threshold value according to the type of motion exceeds a detection value (S5500).

At this time, if the predetermined threshold value according to the type of motion exceeds the detection value, the control unit 120 transmits an instruction to the control unit 140 (S5600) and outputs an alarm to the alarm unit 150 (S5700).

The control unit 140 then transmits the contraction control to the band 130 at step S5800 and if the band 130 is retracted at step S5900 the band 130 transmits a contraction report to the control unit 120 (S5910).

Here, the control unit 120 performs continuous monitoring after the shrinkage control (S5920), and receives data sensed from at least one sensor (S5930) and receives the sensed data (S5940).

Then, similarly, the control unit 120 determines the type of motion (S5950), determines the degree of motion (S5960), and determines whether a predetermined threshold value according to the type of motion exceeds a detection value (S5970) .

At this time, if the predetermined threshold value according to the type of motion exceeds the sensed value, the control unit 120 transmits an instruction to the control unit 140 in step S5980 and relaxes it in step S5990. Adjusts the band 130 to relax (S5991), and reports the relaxation to the control unit 120 (S5992).

The order between the above-described steps (S5100 to S5992) is merely an example, but is not limited thereto. That is, the order between the above-described steps S5100 to S5992 may be mutually varied, and some of the steps may be executed or deleted at the same time.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a posture correction method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6, the attitude correction band detects movement of an object wrapped by the band using at least one sensor 110 (S6100).

Then, the posture correction band determines whether the sensed motion is a predetermined type of motion (S6200).

The posture correction band extracts a threshold value mapped to the determined motion of the predetermined type (S6300).

Then, the attitude correction band shrinks the band if the extracted threshold value is less than the sensed motion value (S6400).

The matters not described for the posture correcting method of FIG. 6 can be easily deduced from the same or described contents of the posture correcting method described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, and the description will be omitted.
