Description
本發明係關於基於生理信號檢測的技術領域,尤指能夠在保有受測者隱私及不傷害受測者皮膚的情況下完成生理信號檢測程序的一種非接觸式的生理信號檢測裝置,且此非接觸式的生理信號檢測裝置同時具有架構簡單和低成本之優點。 The present invention relates to the technical field based on physiological signal detection, especially to a non-contact physiological signal detection device that can complete the physiological signal detection procedure under the condition of keeping the subject's privacy and not harming the subject's skin. The contact-type physiological signal detection device has the advantages of simple structure and low cost at the same time.
血氧濃度、心跳等生理資訊為判斷一個人健康狀態的重要指標。目前,光體積變化描記圖法(Photoplethysmography,PPG)已經被廣泛地應用在量測一個體之一生理訊號,進而自該生理訊號之中萃取出該個體之生理特徵。例如,台灣專利號I592138揭示一種穿戴式血壓量測裝置,其適於配戴在待測者的手腕上,以進行個體生理訊號之量測。於量測個體生理訊號的過程中,該穿戴式血壓量測裝置係發出一偵測光至手腕皮膚組織,接著利用光接收單元接收來自於手腕皮膚組織之反射光,並連續紀錄反射光的變化以獲得一光體積變化信號(PPG signal)。另一方面,美國專利公開號US2017/0340217A1揭示一種生理檢測裝置,其實際上為一指尖脈搏血氧儀(Fingertip pulse oximeter)。進行個體生理訊號的量測之時,待測者必須將其手指置入該指尖脈搏血氧儀的一量測空間之 中,接著該指尖脈搏血氧儀發出一偵測光至手指的一表面。最終,在手指的另一表面接收且連續紀錄該偵測光的一透射光之後,便可獲得一光體積變化信號。 Physiological information such as blood oxygen concentration and heartbeat are important indicators for judging a person's health status. At present, photoplethysmography (PPG) has been widely used to measure a physiological signal of an individual, and then extract the physiological characteristics of the individual from the physiological signal. For example, Taiwan Patent No. I592138 discloses a wearable blood pressure measuring device, which is suitable for being worn on the wrist of a subject to measure individual physiological signals. In the process of measuring individual physiological signals, the wearable blood pressure measuring device emits a detection light to the skin tissue of the wrist, and then uses the light receiving unit to receive the reflected light from the skin tissue of the wrist, and continuously records the changes of the reflected light. To obtain a photovolume change signal (PPG signal). On the other hand, US Patent Publication No. US2017/0340217A1 discloses a physiological detection device, which is actually a fingertip pulse oximeter. When measuring individual physiological signals, the person to be measured must place his finger into a measurement space of the fingertip pulse oximeter. , then the fingertip pulse oximeter emits a detection light to a surface of the finger. Finally, after the other surface of the finger receives and continuously records a transmitted light of the detection light, a light volume change signal can be obtained.
由前述說明可知,光體積變化描記圖法已經被應用在光反射式或光穿透式的接觸式生理信號量測裝置之中。然而,使用者的反饋意見指出,接觸式生理信號量測裝置會造成許多不方便,例如,易造成敏感性皮膚之使用者(例如:嬰幼兒)產生皮膚過敏現象。有鑑於此,另一種非接觸式生理信號量測技術於是被提出。例如,中國專利號CN102973253B揭示一種利用視覺信息監測人體生理指標的系統。執行個體生理訊號之量測時,習知的系統使用一個攝影機持續拍攝受測者的影像,接著透過複雜的運算自受測者的影像之中辨識出受測者的臉部,並在受測者的臉部位置之上選擇一個感興趣區域(Region of interest,ROI)。繼續地,對ROI圖像執行三色通道分離處理,以獲得R通道信號、G通道信號以及B通道信號。最終,利用特定的演算法處理及/或分析RGB之三組通道信號之後,便可獲得個體的生理特徵或資訊。 As can be seen from the foregoing description, the photoplethysmography method has been applied to the optical reflection type or the optical transmission type contact type physiological signal measuring device. However, feedbacks from users point out that the contact-type physiological signal measuring device may cause many inconveniences, for example, it is easy to cause skin allergies to users with sensitive skin (eg, infants). In view of this, another non-contact physiological signal measurement technology is proposed. For example, Chinese Patent No. CN102973253B discloses a system for monitoring human physiological indicators using visual information. When performing the measurement of the individual's physiological signals, the conventional system uses a camera to continuously capture the image of the subject, and then uses a complex calculation to identify the subject's face from the image of the subject, and displays the subject's face in the subject's image. A region of interest (ROI) is selected over the position of the person's face. Continuing, a three-color channel separation process is performed on the ROI image to obtain an R channel signal, a G channel signal, and a B channel signal. Finally, after processing and/or analyzing the three sets of channel signals of RGB using a specific algorithm, the physiological characteristics or information of the individual can be obtained.
前述方式亦稱為成像式體積變化描記圖法(Imaging photoplethysmography,iPPG)或遙測式體積變化描記圖法(Remote photoplethysmography,rPPG)。熟悉rPPG技術的工程師必然知道,使用rPPG技術之非接觸式生理信號量測裝置必須搭載具高速運算能力之處理晶片組,導致其整體成本無法被有效地降低。此外,即使搭載了高速運算能力之處理晶片組,使用rPPG技術之非接觸式生理信號量測裝置仍舊需要花費許多時間才能夠完成龐大的運算量,而後自拍攝獲得之受測者的影像之中萃取出個體的生理特 徵或資訊。更重要的是,受測者在接用rPPG之非接觸式生理信號量測的過程中,其臉部影像被大量地複製且儲存,引發受測者的隱私缺乏保障之疑慮。 The aforementioned method is also referred to as Imaging photoplethysmography (iPPG) or Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG). Engineers familiar with rPPG technology must know that a non-contact physiological signal measurement device using rPPG technology must be equipped with a processing chip set with high-speed computing capability, so that the overall cost cannot be effectively reduced. In addition, even if it is equipped with a processing chip set with high-speed computing power, the non-contact physiological signal measurement device using rPPG technology still needs a lot of time to complete the huge amount of computing, and then the image of the subject obtained by shooting Extract the physiological characteristics of the individual sign or information. More importantly, during the process of using rPPG for non-contact physiological signal measurement, the facial images of the subjects are copied and stored in large quantities, which raises concerns about the lack of privacy protection of the subjects.
由上述說明可知,基於PPG技術之接觸式生理信號量測裝置雖然具有架構簡單與低成本的優點,然而使用者的反饋意見指出這種接觸式生理信號量測裝置容易造成敏感性皮膚之使用者產生皮膚過敏現象。另一方面,基於rPPG技術之非接觸式生理信號量測裝置雖然可以在不碰觸使用者的情況下完成個體生理信號之取得,但此種非接觸式生理信號量測裝置必須搭載高速運算能力之處理晶片組,導致其整體成本較高。同時,基於rPPG技術之非接觸式生理信號量測裝置也會引發受測者的隱私之相關疑慮。 It can be seen from the above description that although the contact-type physiological signal measurement device based on PPG technology has the advantages of simple structure and low cost, the feedback from users points out that such a contact-type physiological signal measurement device is likely to cause users with sensitive skin. Causes skin allergies. On the other hand, although the non-contact physiological signal measurement device based on rPPG technology can complete the acquisition of individual physiological signals without touching the user, such non-contact physiological signal measurement device must be equipped with high-speed computing capability The overall cost of processing the chip set is relatively high. At the same time, the non-contact physiological signal measurement device based on rPPG technology will also raise concerns about the privacy of the subjects.
有鑑於此,本案之發明人係極力加以研究發明,而終於研發完成本發明之一種能夠在保有受測者隱私及不傷害受測者皮膚的情況下完成生理信號檢測程序的一種非接觸式的生理信號檢測裝置,且此非接觸式的生理信號檢測裝置同時具有架構簡單和低成本之優點。 In view of this, the inventor of this case has made great efforts to research and invent, and finally developed and completed a non-contact sensor of the present invention that can complete the physiological signal detection procedure under the condition of keeping the subject's privacy and not harming the subject's skin.

更詳細地說明,活體偵測單元124透過該信號接收單元122接收對應於該漫射光的一生理信號,此生理信號為一光體積變化信號(PPG signal)。在對所述生理信號進行例如奇異譜分析(Singular Spectrum Analysis,SSA)或正規化最小均方(Normalized Least Mean Square,NLMS)之一時域信號處理之後,便可接著自完成所述時域信號處理的生理信號中萃出時域生理特徵。許多研究報告及/或文獻已經指出,活體(例如:人體)之生理信號會帶有特別的時域生理特徵,因此,在確認該生理信號是否含有至少一活體生理特徵之後,所述活體偵測單元124便可判斷該受試物2為一活體或一非活體。

另一方面,活體偵測單元124在透過該信號接收單元122接收對應於該漫射光的生理信號(亦即,光體積變化信號(PPG signal))之後,也可以對所述生理信號進行例如快速傅立葉轉換(Fast Fourier Transform,FFT)或短時距傅立葉變換(Short-Time Fourier Transform,STFT)之一頻域信號處理,並接著自完成所述頻域信號處理的生理信號中萃出頻域生理特徵,例如:心跳之週期性脈動。

活體偵測單元124的使用亦有助於提升、校正本發明之非接觸式的生理信號檢測裝置1的量測準確性。更詳細的說明,若操作者使用本發明之非接觸式的生理信號檢測裝置1的光感測單元11正對一非活體之物件,則活體偵測單元124會立即判斷出該物件並非是活體。在此情況下,該活體偵測單元124會通知該警示單元16發出一警示訊息以通知操作者,例如:光訊息、聲音訊息、文字訊息、影像訊息等,或透過資料輸出單元10將警示訊息傳送出去。
