Respiratory training is performed to alleviate the symptoms of shortness of breath due to diseases and to improve the quality of life and improve the efficiency of leisure / sports activities by enabling the emotional stability and the right vocalization by training the correct breathing method.

In other words, respiratory training includes strengthening the respiratory muscles of the respiratory muscles and diaphragm, exhaling and exhaling lungs, supplying stable oxygen, developing lung capacity and lung function through continuous breathing training, and activating metabolism through deep oxygen supply, deep and regular rules. To improve vocalization through training of autonomic nervous system stability through normal breathing, emotional stability due to promotion of parasympathetic nerve activity, and strength and length of breathing.

Conventionally, an analog respiratory training tool was used for such a respiratory training. For example, the analog respiratory training tool inserts balls into a plurality of cylinders, and checks the height change of the balls contained in the cylinders during respiration. There is a device to adjust.

However, the above-described conventional analog breathing apparatus is a device developed by focusing only on the training, and there is no configuration to induce the user's interest or the desire for achievement. For example, the registered training room 20-0354161 includes a breathing apparatus including a breathing tube, a wind generator that generates electricity according to the amount of intake of the breathing tube, and a light emitting means for controlling the degree of emission according to the intensity of electricity. Is published.

On the other hand, speech impairment is defined as a lack of communication between information transmitter and receiver by showing severe impairments in the ability to hear and listen to sounds, to make speech, and to speak language. , 2000).

These speech disorders include speech disorders that indicate problems with the appearance of speech due to abnormalities such as breathing, speech, resonance, and articulation, and a series of symbolic systems used to express and accept the meaning of language. Because of this problem, it is largely classified as a language disorder that indicates abnormal acquisition, understanding, or production of spoken or written language.

In order to treat verbal disorders, it is necessary to remove the causes of psychological and organic disorders, and to perform training to correct good speech habits.In order to have good speech habits, various sounds, sound intensity and height Auditory training to distinguish the back, breathing training to adjust the length and intensity of breathing, and coordination of the vocal position of the exhalation and larynx; It is required to carry out vocal training and the like to expand.

However, in the past, in order to treat the speech disorder, a professional institution should be visited to use a training apparatus provided in the relevant institution. However, in the case of treatment through a specialized institution visit, treatment time is limited and treatment costs increase. There was a problem that the effective treatment is impossible.

In addition, the conventional training for the treatment of speech disorders is a method of repeated training using a picture or a word card or an analog respiratory training tool using the above-described ball and cylinder, the user is easily tired of the problem there was.

In addition, breathing, speech, and auditory training must be performed simultaneously for the spoken language treatment, but conventional treatment devices are not configured to perform them as a single device, but are composed of separate and independent devices to perform each one. In addition, since all of them must be carried or possessed at the same time, there was a problem that effective spoken treatment was impossible.

In addition, the apparatus for conventional colloquial treatment does not have a means of objectively recording a training result, which makes it difficult to objectively and systematically check and manage a training process or results.

In addition, the training program of the present invention matches the user who needs training with a leader (teacher) for guiding each user to record, so that the leader can log in to adjust the training level and training evaluation of the user matched to the corresponding leader, etc. do.

In these training programs, we first look at hearing training programs.

As an example of the auditory training program, as shown in FIG. 10, when an arbitrary sound is heard using the speaker of the smart terminal, a button output to the touch pad of the smart terminal is tapped, or as shown in FIG. Various animal characters to be output to the speaker and whether the sound output to the speaker to be selected via the 'O', 'X' button output on the touch pad, or as shown in Figure 12 by further including noise in the sound Match the image displayed on the touch pad to check whether the desired sound can be recognized despite the noise, or as shown in FIG. 13, the image output on the touch pad is output according to the sound output through the speaker. To be selected by the user or output through a speaker as shown in FIG. Select the objects to hear the sound that is being re-occur on the touch pad and the like to position the object to the appropriate location of the area shown on the touch pad.

An example of a breathing training program is discussed below.

For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the flame of the wood fire that is turned off based on the breathing data of the respiratory meter is used to avoid smoke and to counter the time and achieve the target time. When you smoke, stop breathing to avoid breathing, so that the amount of exhalation can be increased and controlled to enable the use of voice.

As another example, as shown in Figure 16 to fly the paper plane based on breathing data to avoid obstacles such as trees to learn the breathing control method to adjust the altitude of the paper plane according to the breathing strength to avoid obstacles. The final flight distance is calculated to update the record or determine whether or not the target record is reached.

Another example is to adjust the respiratory volume according to the size of the bubbles as shown in Figure 17, to make the bubbles larger than the size of the colored bubbles displayed on the output means to prevent the colored bubbles, Bubble size depends on the volume of breath.

And as shown in Figure 18 through the running character to repeat the exhalation and inspiration, but in addition to the character running in response to the user's breath to display the competitor character running at the set speed in the program to reach the target point faster than the competitor, output means The inhalation or exhalation display and its retention time are displayed on the character running in accordance with the user's breath in the image, such that the inhalation or expiration of the display and the retention time to reach the target point faster than the competitor character.

As shown in FIG. 19, by controlling the exhalation and inspiration to pass through obstacles to reach the arrival point, to descend at the time of exhalation and to ascend during inspiration, so that the swimmer avoids waves of different depths shown on the surface of the water In other words, training is to control exhalation and inspiration, and to maintain their duration.

As described above, the respiratory training program measures the movement speed, intensity, or height of a character, which is a part of an image or a video output on a touch pad, which is an output means of a smart terminal, according to the intensity, retention time, exhalation, or inhalation of the breath measured by a respirator. By changing the parameters of the game, including, to update the record or to determine the victory, it is possible to effectively perform breathing training.

On the other hand, vocal training (called strength training in the embodiment of the present invention) is a user training the strength of the voice and voice holding time, etc. using the microphone included in the smart terminal phonation data and game input through the microphone The result is to work together.

 For example, in FIG. 20, it is possible to control whether or not swelling is determined according to the stiffness of the voice. The target value of different stiffness is presented according to the number of tilts, and the signal input through the microphone is used for the corresponding utterance. If you reach the target, you will be defeated.

As shown in FIG. 21, the height of the jump and the distance are adjusted according to the stiffness, or as shown in FIG. 22, the shots (middle shot, dunk shot, etc.) are distinguished from the basketball according to the stiffness. The vocal strength of the shot is suggested to achieve the vocalization of the suggested intensity according to the type of shot.

In this way, strength training, that is, vocal training, is output to the data and output means collected from the microphone, such as allowing the user to raise or lower the voice intensity arbitrarily or to perform vocalization according to the strength and duration of vocalization presented on the touch pad. Matching game variables, such as a character that is part of an image or a video, to achieve vocal training.

On the other hand, since the results of the training program are all recorded, it is possible to adjust the difficulty according to the recorded results, and such adjustment may be adjusted by the user himself or by a therapist in charge of the user.
