Description

Wearable biological information measuring device

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention generally relates to a wearable device and, more particularly, to a wearable biological information measuring device attached to a user's body to measure biological information of the user.

There is a growing demand for measurement devices that can identify user biometric information and manage individual health based on identified biometric information. The measuring devices have been provided in the form of bracelets, arm bands, chest straps, etc., which can be worn on the user's body in a continuous measurement of biological information. Various heart rate monitoring products have been created as a type of measuring device. For example, the user's heart rate can be measured by a plurality of electrodes, leads, and an electrocardiogram (ECG) measuring device connected to the plurality of electrodes and leads. However, such a device can be easily loosened or separated from the user's body due to the movement of the user, which can cause an ECG measurement error. Furthermore, since the connection between the electrodes, the leads, and the electrocardiograph measuring device should always be maintained, it is not convenient for the user to carry the electrocardiograph measuring device. In addition, whenever an electrocardiogram measurement is performed, it is necessary to attach the electrode to the user's body.

In addition, electrocardiographic measurements involve a band worn on the chest of the user. However, the belt can be easily loosened or can cause a feeling of sorrow around the chest of the user.

In addition, an electrocardiogram patch has been provided to aid portability. However, the patch is too large or too thick to adhere to the user's body during user activity, and may not remain attached to the body when the user moves.

Conventional devices for measuring biological information cannot monitor changes in biological signals based on the user's condition. For example, even if the user's heart rate increases and various body changes occur during exercise, the typical measuring device records only the biological information, but does not obtain accurate body information about the user. In addition, some users need to measure their biological information and physical condition 24 hours a day. For example, a user with a heart disease cannot predict a heart attack, so the user needs to measure the change of the biological information 24 hours a day to notify the third party of the user's condition information according to the change of the organism. Furthermore, in the case of irregular heartbeats, the patient's heart rate and blood pressure tend to increase as they eat. In this case, it is necessary to judge whether the change in heart rate and blood pressure is derived from eating or exercising.

1 is a diagram showing a wearable biological information measuring apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a wearable biological information measuring apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2, the wearable biological data measuring device can be defined narrowly or broadly. A narrowly defined wearable biological information measuring device may refer to a device required only for detecting user biometric information. That is, the narrowly applicable wearable biological information measuring device may refer to the measuring device 100 including the housing 110 and the substrate unit 120. Specifically, the narrowly defined biological information measuring device can represent the measuring device 100 constructed by removing the disposable gel pad 200 from the generalized wearable biological information measuring device.

In contrast, the wearable organism information measuring device 10 defined broadly may refer to all devices capable of measuring user organism information. For example, in a broad sense, the wearable biological information measuring device can include the measuring device 100 described above and a disposable gel pad 200 that is temporarily combined with the measuring device 100. In particular, the wearable biological information measuring device can be configured as a combined structure of the measuring device 100 and the disposable gel pad 200. Therefore, the user can wear the measuring device 100 combined with the disposable gel pad 200 on the body, thereby detecting the user's biological information.

As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the wearable biological information measuring apparatus may include the measuring apparatus 100 including the housing 110 and the substrate unit 120. Additionally, measurement device 100 can include an internal battery 150 for powering.

The housing 110 may be provided with a substrate unit 120 to be sealed therein. Further, the attachment surface 115 is disposed on one surface of the housing 110, and the disposable gel pad 200 is attached to the attachment surface 115. As will be explained in detail below, elements such as the modules M1 and M2, the electrodes 131, 132, and 133, or the connection port 140 are located on one surface of the substrate 120 (hereinafter, referred to as "the first surface" according to an embodiment of the present invention. S1"), and the attachment surface 115 is configured to cover the first surface S1. The attachment surface 115 is configured to cover the modules M1 and M2 and expose the electrodes 131, 132, and 133. However, the gap between the attachment surface 115 and the exposed electrodes 131, 132, and 133, or the connection port 140 may be sealed to prevent inflow of impurities.

As described above, the electrodes 131, 132, and 133 or the connection port 140 mounted on the first surface S1 of the substrate unit 120 are hermetically exposed by the surface of the casing 110. The housing 110, which is hermetically coupled to each other, and the electrodes 131, 132, and 133, and the configuration of the port 140 can carry the wearable biological information measuring device to the user or attach it to the user. Prevent the flow of water or sweat into the body to protect the components.

The exposed opening 115a and the protruding surfaces 115b and 115c are formed on the attachment surface 115.

The exposed opening 115a is configured to enable the electrodes 131, 132, and 133 to be hermetically exposed by the exposed opening 115a of the surface 115. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the three electrodes 131, 132, and 133 are shown mounted on the substrate unit 120, and thus the three exposed openings 115a are formed on the attachment surface 115. The inner circumferential surface of the exposed opening 115a and the outer circumferential surface of the electrode may be tightly sealed. Therefore, since the electrodes 131, 132, and 133 exposed through the adhesion surface 115 and the exposed opening 115a are coupled in a sealed manner, the inflow of impurities between the electrodes 131, 132, and 133 and the exposed opening 115a can be prevented. For example, the conductive gel member 230 of the disposable gel pad 200 can contact the surfaces of the electrodes 131, 132, and 133. In this case, the conductive gel member 230 can be prevented from flowing into the inside of the casing 110 via the gap between the electrodes 131, 132, and 133 and the exposed opening 115a.

The protruding surfaces 115b and 115c are positioned to correspond to the modules M1 and M2. The modules M1 and M2 are disposed between the electrodes 131, 132, and 133 such that the protruding surfaces 115b and 115c are formed adjacent to the exposed opening 115a. In addition, the modules M1 and M2 are mounted on the first surface S1 of the substrate unit 120 and protrude from the first surface S1 such that the protruding surfaces 115b and 115c are formed to protrude above the attachment surface 115 to form the modules M1 and M2. Module space (MS). The embodiment of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 has two modules (ie, the first module M1 and the second module M2), and the first protruding surface 115b protrudes from the attachment surface 115 to form a module space of the first module M1 ( MS), and the second protruding surface 115c protrudes from the attachment surface 115 to form a module space (MS) of the second module M2.

3A through 3E are diagrams illustrating a housing that is hermetically coupled in a wearable biological information measuring device, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3A, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the housing 110 is vacuum formed as a unit to hermetically enclose the substrate unit 120 therein. That is, the housing 110 is vacuum formed to close the substrate unit 120 such that the body 111 and the bottom member 112 are configured as a single body without a seam therebetween. As will be explained in more detail below, the body 111 can be vacuum formed on the substrate unit 120 to enclose the substrate unit 120, and the bottom member 112 can be vacuum formed separately. The body 111 and the bottom member 112 can then be mated together. Therefore, the housing 110 can be configured as one piece as a whole.

Referring to Figures 3B and 3C, as described above, the housing 110 includes a body 111 and a bottom member 112 that are hermetically coupled to each other. The body 111 has an attachment surface 115 on one side, and the opposing surface of the attachment surface 115 is open. The body 111 is vacuum formed on the substrate unit 120 such that the first surface S1 of the substrate unit 120 and the attachment surface 115 (ie, the exposed opening 115a and the electrodes 131, 132, and 133) are configured to be sealed, and the module M1 And M2 is received in the module space formed by the protruding surfaces 115b and 115c (see Fig. 7). The bottom member 112 can be vacuum formed separately from the body 111 and can be hermetically coupled to the back side of the body 111. The body 111 and the bottom member 112 may be hermetically coupled to each other by vacuum forming.

More specifically, with reference to the connection between the bottom member 112 and the body 111, a coupling surface 112b coupled to one end of the body 111 is disposed on the edge of the bottom member 112 and is formed adjacent to the coupling surface 112b to be higher than the coupling surface 112b. An inner stepped surface 112a. Thus, when the bottom member 112 is coupled to the body 111, the protruding inner stepped surface 112a of the bottom member 112 closely contacts the inner surface of the body 111 to fit over the back surface of the body 111. Therefore, the body 111 and the bottom member 112 can be sealed together by tight coupling due to the difference in height between them. That is, the body 111 and the bottom member 112 can be coupled together by the close contact between the inner stepped surface 112a and the inner surface of the body 111 and by the connection of the coupling surface 112b, thereby preventing the inflow of impurities or water. As described above, the coupling surface 112b can be vacuum formed on the body 111 to be sealed. In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3C, the bottom member 112 and the body 111 can be coupled together by a coupling member 113 (eg, a double-sided tape) sandwiched between the coupling surface 112b and the body 111.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3D, the configuration of the body 111 and the bottom member 112 having the coupling surface 112b and the inner stepped surface 112a further includes a fastening structure disposed in the body 111 and the coupling surface 112b. More specifically, the fastening structure includes a protrusion 111a and a fitting groove 112d for airtightly coupling the coupling surface 112b of the body 111 and the bottom member 112. The protruding portion 111a may be formed at an edge of the back surface of the body 111, and the fitting groove 112d may be formed on the coupling surface 112b of the bottom member 112 to correspond to the protruding portion 111a to fit the protruding portion 111a into the fitting groove 112d. Therefore, when the body 111 vacuum-formed on the substrate unit 120 as a whole is coupled to the bottom member 112 which is separately vacuum-formed, the body 111 leans against the coupling surface 112b, and the projection 111a fits into the fitting groove 112d. That is, when the bottom member 112 is coupled to the back surface of the body 111, the projection 111a is elastically fitted into the fitting groove 112d. Therefore, the body 111 and the bottom member 112 are sealed together by the coupling of the protruding portion 111a and the fitting groove 112d, and the contact between the inner stepped surface 112a and the inner surface of the body 111 and the coupling surface 112b. Further, as shown in FIG. 3E, a coupling member 113 (for example, a double-sided tape) may be interposed between the coupling surface 112b and the body 111. The coupling member 113 can enhance sealing reliability. Further, although in the present embodiment, the protruding portion 111a is provided on the body 111 and the fitting groove 112d is provided on the bottom member 112, the protruding portion 111a and the fitting groove 112d may be reversely arranged. For example, the protrusion 111a may be disposed on the bottom member 112, and the fitting groove 112d may be located on the body 111. Although various examples for coupling the housing 110 have been described above, the structure and coupling method of the housing 110 are not limited thereto, and modifications or modifications may be made to the coupling structure or shape of the housing as long as the housing is The substrate unit 120 is closed and a waterproof function can be provided. The bottom member 112 may have a receiving groove 112X and a switch receiving groove 112Y formed on the bottom member 112. The accommodating recess 112X can accommodate the internal battery 150 disposed on the back surface of the substrate unit 120, and the switch accommodating recess 112Y can accommodate the switch unit 125 disposed on the back surface of the substrate unit 120, as explained in more detail below.

The housing 110 may be made of the following elastic material that provides a sealing function: for example, a rubber-based material, a urethane that has elasticity and is flexible when the housing 110 is attached to the user's body to enable the housing 110 to be moved according to the user's movement. A urethane-based material or an elastomer-based material. Further, the housing 110 may be made of a non-conductive material or an insulating material (for example, an insulating resin). Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the housing 110 may have various shapes including a rectangle according to connection conditions of the substrates 121a, 121b, 121c, and 121d of the substrate unit 120.

4A and 4B are diagrams showing marked points on a surface of a casing in a wearable biological information measuring device, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

4A and 4B, the marker point 160 is disposed on the surface of the housing 110 to illustrate the attachment reference point such that the user recognizes the orientation and position of the measurement device 100 attached to the user's body. For example, electrodes 131, 132, and 133 may be disposed on substrate unit 120 and sandwich modules M1 and M2 between electrodes 131, 132, and 133, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The user's biological information (for example, an electrocardiogram) can be detected by a potential difference between the center electrode 131 as a reference electrode and the electrodes 132 and 133 on both sides thereof. When the measuring device 100 is attached to a body portion of the user near the heart for measuring the electrocardiogram, if the measuring device 100 is attached in the opposite direction, the electrocardiogram data graph can be displayed oppositely compared to the normal measurement graph. Although the user can recognize the incorrect attachment of the measuring device by the reverse display of the biological information (eg, electrocardiographic data), the marker point 160 can notify the user of the attachment direction of the measuring device 100 in advance. Furthermore, repeated incorrect attachment of the measuring device 100 may reduce the adhesion strength of the attachment member relative to the user's body. As explained in more detail below, when repeatedly used, the adhesion of the pad member to be attached to the user's body may vary depending on the adhesive material. Further, as explained in more detail below, according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to use a lanthanum-based adhesive or a urethane-based adhesive as a material of the mat member. In this case, the adhesion of the urethane-based adhesive is greatly reduced when it is repeatedly used, and the adhesion of the lanthanide adhesive can be maintained even when it is repeatedly used, so that the lanthanide adhesive can be reused. . However, there is a price difference between the lanthanide binder and the urethane binder.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the marker point 160 is printed on the surface of the housing 110 as shown in FIG. 4A, or is provided in the form of a plurality of protrusions as shown in FIG. 4B to indicate its position, but the present invention is not limited to this. When the biological information measuring device 10 is attached to the user's body, any configuration that can notify the user of the correct attachment status of the biological information measuring device 10 can be applied to the present invention.

5 is a diagram showing a first surface of a substrate unit in a wearable biological information measuring device, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the back side of the substrate unit 120 in the wearable biological information measuring apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6 , the substrate unit 120 is enclosed in the housing 110 . The substrate unit 120 has a first surface S1 and an opposite surface of the first surface S1, and the biological information measuring member A (referred to as "biological information measuring module A", see FIG. 9) (for example, modules M1 and M2) and The electrodes 131, 132, and 133, or the port 140 are mounted on the first surface S1. The first surface S1 faces the attachment surface 115 and faces the body of the user when the measurement device 100 is attached to the body of the user.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the substrate unit 120 includes substrates 121a, 121b, 121c, 121d, and 121e, and a flexible circuit board 122 electrically connected to the substrate.

The substrates 121a, 121b, 121c, 121d, and 121e are disposed adjacent to each other such that the modules M1 and M2 and the electrodes 131, 132, and 133 are arranged to alternate with each other. Further, the substrates 121a, 121b, 121c, 121d, and 121e are electrically connected to each other by a flexible circuit board 122 interposed therebetween. It is assumed that in FIG. 5, the first substrate 121a is located at the leftmost position, and the second to fifth substrates 121b, 121c, 121d, and 121e are sequentially arranged to the right from the first substrate 121a.

As described above, the biological information measurement module A (for example, the modules M1 and M2) and the electrodes 131, 132, and 133, or elements (for example, the connection port 140) can be mounted on the first surface S1 of the substrate unit 120. In particular, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the modules M1 and M2 and the electrodes 131, 132, and 133 may be arranged to alternate the first to third electrodes 131, 132 with each other on the first surface S1 of the substrate unit 120, And 133 can be respectively positioned at the center and both ends of the substrate unit 120, and the modules M1 and M2 can be positioned between the electrodes 131, 132, and 133. Therefore, the first electrode 131 is mounted on the first surface S1 of the third substrate 121c at the center of the substrate unit. The second electrode 132 is mounted on the first surface S1 of the first substrate 121a. The third electrode 133 is mounted on the first surface S1 of the fifth substrate 121e. That is, the second electrode 132, the first electrode 131, and the third electrode 133 are mounted on the first substrate 121a, the third substrate 121c, and the fifth substrate 121e, respectively. Further, the first module M1 is mounted between the electrodes, that is, on the second substrate 121b between the first substrate 121a having the second electrode 132 and the third substrate 121c having the first electrode 131 thereon. The second module M2 is mounted between the electrodes, that is, on the fourth substrate 121d between the third substrate 121c having the first electrode 131 and the fifth substrate 121e having the third electrode 133 thereon.

Although this embodiment of the present invention describes three electrodes (hereinafter, referred to as "three channels") for detecting biological information signals, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, two electrodes (hereinafter referred to as "two channels") can detect biological information signals.

As described above, the modules M1 and M2, and the electrodes 131, 132, and 133 are mounted on the first surface S1 of the substrate unit 120, and the connection port 140 electrically connected to the external surface is mounted on the first surface of the substrate unit 120. On S1. As will be explained in more detail below, a sensor 190 (see FIG. 16) for detecting attachment of the disposable gel pad 200 can also be provided. The port 140 can be hermetically exposed by the attachment surface 115 to electrically connect the external device. Since the port 140 is disposed on the first surface S1, the port 140 can be free from contamination unless it is connected to an external device. More specifically, the disposable gel pad 200 can be attached to the attachment surface 115 when the user attaches the measurement device 100 to his body. Therefore, since the disposable gel pad 200 is attached to the attachment surface 115, the attachment surface 115 is not exposed to the outside, and the connection port 140 is attached to the side of the disposable gel pad 200 that is not exposed to the outside. For example, even when the user performs a shower while the measuring device 100 is attached to the user's body, the port 140 can be covered by the disposable gel pad 200 without being exposed to the outside. According to an embodiment of the invention, the port 140 can be configured as a charging port 140 for charging the internal battery 150, as will be explained in more detail below. However, the port 140 is not limited to the charging port 140, but can be modified and changed.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, the flexible circuit board 122 is disposed between the substrates 121a, 121b, 121c, 121d, and 121e, and more specifically, between the first substrate 121a and the second substrate 121b, and the second substrate. Between 121b and the third substrate 121c, between the third substrate 121c and the fourth substrate 121d, and between the fourth substrate 121d and the fifth substrate 121e. The flexible circuit board 122 allows the substrates 121a, 121b, 121c, 121d, and 121e to be bent or deformed by the electrical connection portion therebetween. According to the embodiment of the present invention, if the substrate unit 120 is configured as the hard body 111, it is difficult to bend or deform the hard substrate unit according to the curvature of the body or the movement of the user when it is attached to the user's body. In the embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of hard substrates 121a, 121b, 121c, 121d, and 121e are connected by the flexible circuit board 122 so that the substrates 121a, 121b, 121c, 121d, and 121e can be easily bent. Or deformation. Therefore, the measuring device 100 can be attached to the curved body part and can be deformed according to the movement of the user. Therefore, the attachment reliability of the wearable biological information measuring device 10 can be enhanced, and the convenience of the user's activities can be maximized when the wearable biological information measuring device is worn. Although the measuring device 100 is illustrated as being convexly curved in this embodiment, it is not limited thereto. For example, the measuring device 100 can be concavely curved, but it is apparent that the measuring device 100 can be bent into various shapes according to the movement of the user while being worn.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, since the electrodes 131, 132, and 133 are mounted on the same side (ie, the first surface S1 of the substrate unit 120) as the modules M1 and M2, the wearable biological information measuring device can be reduced. Size and thickness. In particular, the measuring device 100 (i.e., the housing 110) has a horizontal (X-axis) length of 50 mm to 70 mm, a vertical (Y-axis) length of 18 mm to 30 mm, and a thickness of 2.5 mm to 3.7 mm ( Z-axis) thickness, and even if the disposable gel pad 200 is coupled to the measuring device 100, the (Z-axis) thickness is not changed (the (Z-axis) thickness is maintained in the range of 2.5 mm to 3.7 mm). Therefore, the user can conveniently carry the measuring device, and if necessary, the user can attach the measuring device to his body to measure and record the user's health information (see FIG. 1).

As described above, the electrodes 131, 132, and 133 mounted on the first surface S1 of the substrate unit 120 may be exposed through the attachment surface 115, and the modules M1 and M2 may be accommodated in the first protruding surface 115b and the second The module space (MS) inside the surface 115c is protruded.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, three or more electrodes 131, 132, and 133 may be employed. For example, to measure an electrocardiogram, a reference electrode {right-leg (RL) electrode}, a right-arm (RA) electrode, and a left-arm (LA) electrode can be provided. The first electrode 131 can be configured as a reference electrode, and the second electrode 132 and the third electrode 133 can be configured to be disposed on both sides of the reference electrode to detect a potential difference detecting electrode, that is, a right arm electrode and a left arm electrode . As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the electrodes 131, 132, and 133 can measure a biological signal generated by a physiological potential difference of the body. Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the electrodes 131, 132, and 133 can measure an electromyogram (EMG), an electroencephalogram (EEG), a galvanic skin reflex (GSR), and an ocular power. Figure (electrooculography, EOG) and electrocardiogram.

The modules M1 and M2 mounted on the first surface S1 of the substrate unit 120 may include a transmitting/receiving module, an analog front end processing module, a controller 170, and one or more detecting modules (hereinafter, referred to as " Detect sensor"), and memory module. In this embodiment of the invention, the first module M1 on the first surface S1 of the second substrate 121b includes a transmitting/receiving module, and the second module M2 on the first surface S1 of the fourth substrate 121d includes Analog front-end processing module, controller 170, detection sensor, or memory module. However, the mounting positions and arrangements of the modules M1 and M2 can be modified or changed in various ways.

9 is a block diagram showing a wearable biological information measuring apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 9 shows the arrangement of the biological information measurement module "A" including the electrodes 131 and 132, or the modules M1 and M2 among the modules M1 and M2. First, in the configuration of the modules M1 and M2, the analog front end processing module can be positioned on the first surface S1 of the fourth substrate 121d.

The analog front end processing module can process the electrocardiogram signal from the user measured by the electrodes 131, 132, and 133. That is, when the analog biological signal is detected by the electrodes 131, 132, and 133, the analog front end processing module can convert the biological signal into digital biological signal data.

The analog front-end processing module may include an analog signal processing unit, an analog/digital (A/D) converter, a digital signal processing unit, and the like. The analog signal processing unit can include an amplifier and a filter that amplifies the weak signals of the body detected by the electrodes 131, 132, and 133, the filter eliminating noise caused by the measurement of the biological signal. The analog/digital converter converts the analog biological signal transmitted from the analog signal processing unit into digital biological signal data. The digital signal processing unit can process the digital organism received from the analog/digital converter by a specific digital calculation operation (for example, fast Fourier transform (FFF) calculation, differential calculation, or averaging calculation). Signal information.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the detection sensor can be mounted on the first surface S1 of the fourth substrate 121d and adjacent to the analog signal processing unit. The detection sensor can be configured to detect user activity or various user states. A single user environment can be detected by a single detection sensor, and multiple user environments can be detected by multiple detection sensors. The plurality of detection sensors can detect different user status information values (for example, biological signal detection values, acceleration sensor detection values, or temperature/humidity sensing changes as the user moves) Detection value). Each detected value can be combined to form user status information. For example, if the heart rate has increased, and in addition, if the acceleration sensor has detected a fast walking (running) signal from the user, the increase in heart rate can be determined to originate from the user's workout.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the detection sensor may be at least one of an acceleration sensor, a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor, or a sound detection sensor, or a combination thereof. For example, an acceleration sensor (ie, a three-axis acceleration sensor) can detect a user's X-axis data, Y-axis data, and Z-axis data according to user activity, and can The measured values are used to measure changes in user posture due to physical activity (eg, walking, running, steps, fainting, falling, stumbling, etc.). The measured data can help prevent diseases associated with the user's lifestyle, such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and the like.

The temperature sensor can detect the user's body temperature or the temperature of the external environment, and can determine the change of body temperature and the environment of the user by the detected value.

The humidity sensor can detect the humidity of the environment or detect the user's condition by the user's sweat, and can identify the user's activities by the detected value, for example, exercise, hot water bath, shower, and the like.

In addition, the sound detection sensor can detect sounds from the user (eg, eating sounds) or external sounds. For example, people with diabetes need to frequently check for different blood sugar levels before and after eating. Therefore, in the case of using a sound detecting sensor, in addition to the monitoring of blood pressure, it is also possible to recognize whether the blood sugar level is measured before eating or after eating. Furthermore, in situations where people have irregular heartbeats, heart rate and blood pressure tend to increase during eating. Therefore, the data that can be checked for heart rate or blood pressure is measured before eating or after eating.

As described above, various detection sensors or multiple detection sensors can be employed. The data values detected by the sensors can be combined to measure the user's condition. For example, when an acceleration sensor and a temperature/humidity sensor are used, the acceleration sensor can detect a user condition related to a user's posture or movement, and the temperature/humidity sensor can detect the use. Changes in body temperature, humidity (for example, sweat of the user) or temperature and humidity of the environment. According to the detected values of the acceleration sensor and the temperature/humidity sensor, the change of the biological signal can be detected. For example, when the user exercises, the acceleration sensor and the temperature/humidity sensor can detect the change of the user's body, so that the change of the biological signal can also be detected. The user condition such as the change of the biological signal during the exercise can be determined by the combination of the detected values, which can provide more accurate detection data according to the movement of the user.

In addition, the user's condition or health condition can be detected by a combination of the detected value and the biological signal value and by a combination of the detected values of the respective detecting sensors. For example, heart rate and blood pressure of people with irregular heartbeats tend to increase during eating as described above. When the sound detecting sensor is used, the value detected by the sound detecting sensor detecting the eating sound is combined with the signal value detected by the biological information component to obtain accurate information about the user's condition. The accurate data indicates that the heart rate and blood pressure of the irregular heartbeat have increased due to eating.

The user's physical activity, such as the user's physical activity, can be converted into data by the biometric signal detection value measured by the biometric information measurement module "A" and the detected value of the detection sensor. Analyze changes in biological signals based on the physical activity of the user. In addition, the biometric signals can be analyzed by detecting the detected values of the sensors and based on user conditions such as physical activity, thereby providing a more accurate and user-friendly health care service.

Here, the "user status" includes body information (such as a user's posture), physical activity information, external environmental information, and the like. That is, the user's condition encompasses the user's lifestyle and living environment.

The memory module can store and manage biometric signal data and user status information obtained by the electrodes 131, 132, and 133 or the detection module. The memory module can be a random access memory (RAM) and/or a flash memory.

The transmit/receive module can be configured to share the detected value data with the separate electronic device 400. The transmitting/receiving module may include at least one of a Bluetooth module, a near field communication (NFC) module, or a WiFi module, thereby performing data pairing with the external electronic device 400. In addition, the transmitting/receiving module can transmit data to the external electronic device 400 by means of a short-range communication device such as a radio frequency (RF) system, a wireless local area network (WLAN) or a zigbee. That is, the measuring device 100 can share the user's health information monitoring result with the electronic device 400 (for example, a smart phone) by the transmitting/receiving module (electrocardiogram, pressure index, per minute measured by the electrocardiograph sensor) Respiratory rate, or sleep mode and number of steps measured by the accelerometer, so that users can measure and check their health information anytime, anywhere.

The controller 170 can receive the detected value of the biological information signal or the detection module detected by the electrodes 131, 132, and 133 to store the biological information and the user status information in the memory module, or The controllable transmit/receive module transmits the data to the separate electronic device 400 (see FIG. 31) and receives the data from the separate electronic device 400.

In addition, the controller 170 may create an individual user ID profile (hereinafter referred to as an "individual user profile") based on the received biometric information or user status information, or utilize the created individual user. The profile is used to store and manage the data that has been measured and analyzed in the measurement device 100.

The user can identify or identify the user's health or lifestyle based on the cycle and health status.

The user can identify the health condition and lifestyle of the user by using the stored data, and can provide various health related services required by the user based on the health condition and lifestyle of the user.

For example, pressure index measurements by the user's measured electrocardiogram values are shown in FIGS. 32 and 33. The user can perform a health mode in which the electronic device 400 is connected to the wearable biological information measuring device. When the wearable biological information measuring device is attached to the user's body, the user's biological information and the user's environmental condition can be detected immediately to transmit the detected value other than the pre-stored data to the electronic device. Store. The user can select the management mode of the health management mode and select the information he or she wants to know. As shown in the example, if the user wishes to know the pressure indicator, the user can select to detect the pressure indicator.

The selection of pressure indicators requires a reference to analyze the pressure indicators. Therefore, referring to FIG. 33, in step S51, a reference related to the stress indicator can be created by the detected pre-stored data or real-time data. For example, the user can create a reference for the stress indicator to be "very low" based on the stored data measured in the relaxed state of the user. Accordingly, references to a plurality of stress indicators can be created such as "very low", "low", "normal", "high", and "very high". In step S52, the user can select an instantaneously measured ECG value or required data to detect the pressure indicator. The controller disposed in the electronic device 400 can receive and analyze the selected material in step S53, and can display the analyzed data on the screen in step S54.

For example, when measuring the pressure index, the user can select a score for the user's feeling or the user's situation for various problems related to the pressure index to create a variable data, which will determine the pressure index. Used as basic information. Therefore, in the management mode performed by the user, the variable data and the electrocardiogram data can be combined, analyzed, and compared with the reference value so that the user's pressure value or pressure level can be analyzed. The analyzed pressure indicator can be displayed by the display of the electronic device to enable the user to recognize the pressure information. In addition, individual health information or stress related user conditions regarding pressure release methods can be provided based on pressure indicators.

Further, the first sealing member 515 is disposed between the first housing 501a and the third housing 501c. The first sealing member 515 prevents liquid (for example, water) from penetrating between the first housing 501a and the third housing 501c. Further, the third housing 501c can be tightly fitted into the first housing 501a. Accordingly, the user can detach the first housing 501a from the third housing 501c or couple the first housing 501a to the third housing 501c to exchange the battery 509 in the housing 501. Further, the first housing 501a may be coupled to the second housing 501b with a bolt 519.

The substrate unit 507 includes components 571a and 571b and a plurality of electrodes 581a, 582a, and 583a required for operating the biological information measuring device. For example, components 571a and 571b and the plurality of electrodes 581a, 582a, and 583a may be disposed on one side of the substrate unit 507.

The battery 509 is disposed on a side of the substrate unit 507 opposite to the components 571a and 571b and the plurality of electrodes 581a, 582a, and 583a. The battery 509 can be made rigid so that the capacity of the electrical energy therein can be increased.

Further, the first electrode 581a and the third electrode 583a are respectively disposed at both ends of the substrate unit 507. Both ends of the substrate unit 507 may be flexible to be bent with respect to the center of the substrate unit 507. For example, since both ends of the substrate unit 507 are flexible, the first electrode 581a and the third electrode 583a may be attached to the body of the user to correspond to the curvature or movement of the body. According to an embodiment of the present invention, in the biological information measuring apparatus 500, both ends of the substrate unit 507 are flexible to attach the first electrode 581a and the third electrode 583a to the user's body, and the rigid battery 507 is disposed at In the central region of the substrate unit 507.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the biological information measuring device 500 includes second sealing members 581, 582, and 583. Each of the second sealing members 581, 582, and 583 surrounds a portion of each of the electrodes 581a, 582a, and 583a. Therefore, although the electrodes 581a, 582a, and 583a are exposed to the outside of the casing 501, it is possible to prevent liquid (for example, water) from permeating through the electrodes 581a, 582a, and 583a.

The attachment pad 505 is attached to one side of the second housing 501b and attached to one side of each of the first cover member 502 and the second cover member 503. Further, the second housing 501b is formed to protrude to receive the components 571a and 571b, and the attachment pad 505 includes receiving portions 551 and 552 corresponding to the projections of the second housing 501b. Further, the attachment pad 505 includes through holes 553, 554, and 555 through which the electrodes 581a, 582a, and 583a pass.

As described above, in the biological information measuring apparatus 500 according to the embodiment of the present invention, since both ends 502 and 503 of the substrate unit 507 are bendable, the electrodes 581a and 583a can be stably attached to the user's body to correspond to The curvature of the body. Further, in consideration of the stable attachment of the electrodes 581a and 583a to the user's body, the rigid battery can be positioned in the central region of the substrate unit 507 to thereby increase the capacity of the battery.

39 is a front elevational view showing a substrate unit and a battery of a biological information measuring apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. 40 is a rear elevational view showing a substrate unit and a battery of a biological information measuring apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 39 and 40, the substrate unit 507 includes a first substrate 571, a second substrate 572, a third substrate 573, a fourth substrate 574, and a first substrate 571, a second substrate 572, a third substrate 573, and a fourth Coupling members 572a, 573a, and 574a between the substrates 574.

The coupling members 572a, 573a, and 574a rotatably couple the first substrate 571, the second substrate 572, the third substrate 573, and the fourth substrate 574 to each other. For example, the coupling members 572a, 573a, and 574a can be bent such that the second substrate 572, the third substrate 573, and the fourth substrate 574 can be coupled to the first substrate 571 to rotate relative to the first substrate 571.

The first substrate 571 includes components 571a and 571b, an electrode 582a, a battery 509, and a socket 575 on which the recording medium 576 is received for operation of the biological information measuring apparatus. For example, the components 571a and 571b and the electrode 582a are disposed on one side of the first substrate 571, and the battery 509 and the socket 575 are disposed on the other side of the first substrate 571. Further, the recording medium 576 can be a security digital (SD) card or any other storage device for storing biometric signals. Therefore, the user can separate the recording medium 576 from the slot and connect the recording medium 576 to another electronic device.

The second substrate 572 and the third substrate 573 include electrodes 581a and 583a. Since the coupling members 572a and 573a are flexible, the second substrate 572 and the third substrate 573 are rotated such that the electrodes 581a and 583a can be attached to the body of the user to correspond to the curvature of the body.

The fourth substrate 574 includes a membrane switch, and the switch button 511c can be placed on the membrane switch. The fourth substrate 574 is rotatable to be placed on the socket 575.

41 is a diagram showing display of biometric information in another electronic device using a recording medium of a biological information measuring device, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 42 is a diagram showing in detail the irregular heartbeat shown in Figure 41, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

The biological information measuring device (500 shown in Fig. 36) measures the biological signal for a long time (e.g., about 72 hours) when attached to the user's body. The recording medium (576 shown in Fig. 39) stores the biological signal and is then connected to another electronic device. In addition, the biosignal can be analyzed in another electronic device to check the health of the user. Another electronic device can be, for example, a computer or mobile terminal that can be coupled to a recording medium to analyze a biological signal.

Referring to FIGS. 41 and 42, another electronic device may include an analysis program 610 for analyzing a biological signal to display biological information and a display device for displaying a result of the analysis program.

The analysis program 610 can analyze the biological signals to thereby display the biological information. The biological information can be activity amount, stress index, sleep index, or irregular heart rate indicator. The amount of activity can be analyzed based on the biological signals measured by the acceleration sensors detailed above. The amount of activity can be information used to identify calorie consumption and lifestyle based on the user's physical activity. The pressure indicator can be analyzed based on the heart rate measured by the biometric information measurement module A and the detection sensor. For example, the pressure indicator can represent a change in heartbeat interval and can be information used to identify the pressure of the user. Sleep indicators can be analyzed based on activity volume and heart rate. For example, if the amount of activity measured by the acceleration sensor is zero or near zero, the sleep indicator can be configured as a first set value to serve as information for showing whether the user is asleep. Further, if the heart rate is kept constant, the sleep index may be configured to be larger than the value of the first set value to serve as a material for showing whether the user is asleep. In contrast, in the case of an irregular heartbeat, the sleep indicator may be configured to be smaller than the value of the first set value to serve as a material for showing whether the user is asleep. In addition, the irregular heartbeat indicators H1, H2, and H3 may represent large electrocardiogram values, small electrocardiogram values, or irregular electrocardiogram values. When one of the irregular heartbeat indices H1, H2, and H3 displayed by the display device is selected, the analysis program may display the electrocardiogram value 620 per second/minute of the selected irregular heartbeat index as shown in FIG. Therefore, the user or the medical professional who determines the health of the user can accurately identify the health of the user by the biometric information.
