Naturally, physiological signals are obtained. In addition, physiological monitoring during sleep has also received increasing attention. For example, wrist-worn devices and/or finger-worn devices have been used to detect sleep quality during sleep.

Detailed ways

In the concept of the present invention, in order to achieve the purpose of multi-purpose, the means for concentrating the circuits, components, physiological sensing components, etc. required for physiological signal detection on the same housing as possible is adopted. By simply changing the wearing structure, the position or setting of the housing can be easily changed to obtain different physiological signals.

Accordingly, according to the multi-purpose physiological detecting device of the present invention, a housing is provided as a main body for mainly as a housing circuit/element and for arranging physiological sensing elements. As shown in FIG. 1, the multi-purpose physiological detecting device according to the present invention includes a physiological signal capturing circuit 110 and is electrically connected to a physiological sensing element, such as an electrode, and/or a light sensor, to obtain a physiological signal. Therefore, it should be noted that the physiological signal acquisition circuit includes all the circuits and components necessary for obtaining physiological signals, such as a processor, an analog signal processor, an analog to digital converter, a filter, a memory, and a battery. And so on, as is well known to those skilled in the art, so it will not be described; in addition, if there is a wireless transmission requirement, for example, to transmit the obtained physiological signal to an external device, a wireless transmission module may be further included. Alternatively, the memory can also be implemented in a removable form. Therefore, different circuits, components, and/or modules may be provided according to actual needs, which are within the scope of the present invention and are not limited.

As for the type of physiological sensing element used, there is no limitation, and it may be determined according to actual needs. For example, only at least two signal extraction electrodes may be included to obtain an electrophysiological signal, such as an electrocardiogram signal, an electroencephalogram signal, an ocular electrical signal, a myoelectric signal, a skin electrical signal, etc., or may only include a light sensor. In order to obtain blood physiological information, for example, when there is a light source, heart rate, blood flow, etc. can be obtained, and when there are two or more light sources, blood oxygen concentration can be obtained, and of course, the signal extraction electrode can be simultaneously included. Light sensors, therefore, are not limited.

Here, it should be noted that, generally, when the electrophysiological signal is captured, the signal extraction electrode and the ground electrode are often set. wherein the signal extraction electrode is to obtain the electrophysiological signal, and the ground electrode is used to remove the background. Noise, and all the electrodes described in this article belong to the signal extraction electrode. However, in order to avoid the word being too verbose, in the following description, "electrode" stands for "signal extraction electrode", as for the ground electrode The setting is generally set according to the actual needs, so it will be omitted in this article. In addition, in order to make the description more concise, when the electrode is used to obtain a specific kind of electrophysiological signal, An electrode directly described as an electrophysiological signal of the kind, for example, an electrocardiogram electrode, an electroencephalogram electrode, an electrooculogram electrode, a myoelectric electrode, a skin electrode, and the like.

Moreover, the electrode described herein is a commonly known conductive material capable of sensing the self-generated potential difference of the human body, for example, metal, conductive fiber, conductive rubber, conductive silica gel, etc., so in the following description, only The position, arrangement, shape, and the like of the electrodes will be described.

In addition, the light sensor refers to a sensor having both a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element, which emits light into the body tissue through the light-emitting element, and the light is transmitted through the blood in the blood vessel or reflected by the blood. The receiving element receives the blood physiological information by taking the volume change that occurs when the light is generated.

In general, when the blood physiological information is obtained by the penetration method, as shown in FIG. 2A, the light emitting element and the light receiving element are respectively disposed on the measurement sites, for example, on both sides of the finger, and when implemented as When the blood physiological information is obtained by the reflection mode, as shown in FIG. 2B, the light emitting element and the light receiving element are disposed on the measurement site, for example, the same side of the finger, and when the setting position is between the above two positions. When it is different, it may be a penetration mode and/or a reflection mode depending on the actual situation.

In addition, even in the form of a replaceable wearable structure, without limitation, the physiological sensing element can be disposed on the wearing structure, and the benefit is that the wearable structure can be replaced by, for example, Various options such as changing the type of physiological sensing element, increasing or decreasing the number of physiological sensing elements, and changing the position of the physiological sensing element are equally advantageous, and the detailed embodiments are described later.

First of all, in the concept of the first aspect of the case, a multi-purpose design based on a finger was selected.

The advantage of choosing the form of wearing is that this position is a widely accepted setting in daily life. Many people have the habit of wearing a ring, no need to adapt to the process, and it is not obvious during use.

As shown in FIGS. 3A-3B, a finger-worn structure 200 carries a housing 100, and a physiological sensing element, such as an electrode and/or a light sensor, is disposed on the housing, wherein when implemented as an electrode, The two electrodes 120 may be disposed on a surface of the housing that is in contact with the finger (as shown in FIG. 3A) to obtain skin electrical signals, myoelectric signals, etc.; or as shown in FIG. 3B, one electrode 120 may be disposed. The other electrode 120 is disposed on the surface that is in contact with the finger and on the surface not in contact with the finger to obtain the electrocardiographic signal by contacting different parts of the body respectively; in addition, when implemented as a light sensor, Then, the light sensor can be disposed on the surface of the housing facing the finger, and ensure that the light used for sensing can enter the finger, so that the blood physiological information is obtained from the finger through the light sensor during the wearing process, or The light sensor can be disposed on the outwardly facing surface of the housing to obtain blood physiological information by contacting other body parts, for example, the other hand; or, the electrode and the light sensor can be simultaneously disposed. In this case, the optical sensor electrode is arranged according to the actual needs can have various combinations, without certain limitations.

Therefore, it is convenient for the user to perform physiological detection only by wearing the ring, and since the use of the ring form hardly hinders daily life and is not obvious, it is very suitable for use in daily life.

Here, the form of the finger-wearing structure is not limited as long as the housing can be held on the finger, and the arrangement of the physiological sensing element can be achieved at the same time, for example, a ring structure, a C-shaped structure, or the like, for example, The ring structure, the finger clip structure, the finger sleeve structure, the strap structure, etc. are all available. In addition, the material may have different choices, for example, it can be implemented as a hard material, for example, plastic, metal, etc. Soft materials and/or elastic materials, such as silicone, rubber, cloth, etc., are all feasible methods, that is, the above various finger-wearing structures can be made of hard materials within the achievable range. It is made of soft/elastic material or mixed material, no restrictions.

Next, as long as the housing is implemented to be separable from the finger-wearing structure, it can be achieved for a versatile purpose. One of the options is that the other part of the body is placed by another wearing structure, for example, by a patch structure or a neck-worn structure, in which case the original surface is originally disposed on the same surface. The electrode can simultaneously contact the trunk to obtain an electrocardiogram signal, a myoelectric signal, and/or a skin electrical signal, or the electrode disposed on the opposite surface can contact the hand and the torso to obtain an electrocardiogram signal by one hand pressing, as for the electrode. The light sensor can obtain blood physiological information from the trunk or the self-contacting hand; or it can be placed on the wrist through the wrist wearing structure, and the physiological signal/information can be smoothly obtained by the electrode or the light sensor. For example, the opposite electrode can obtain an electrocardiographic signal by contacting the wrist and another part of the body, for example, the other hand, or the torso, and the electrodes disposed on the same surface can obtain the muscle from the wrist. Electric signal, skin electrical signal, etc., and because it was originally implemented as a wearing form, when the housing is placed on the wrist, the volume will be very small, similar to Feel the ring, the burden is quite small.

Alternatively, the size of the finger-wearing structure can be changed to accommodate different finger sizes or fingers of different users, especially when the finger-wearing structure is implemented in the form of a ring, for example, a ring, due to rigidity The structure has different restrictions on the adaptation of different fingers. Therefore, if the ring body of different sizes can be replaced, the single device can be easily adapted to fingers of different sizes, so that the same user can freely select the setting. Outside the finger, different users can share the same device, which is quite cost effective.

In an actual implementation, one of the embodiments is that the replaceable finger-wearing structure is implemented without a physiological sensing element, but is a simple structure. In this case, an electrode, a light sensor, and a physiological body for performing physiological detection. The signal capture circuit and the like are disposed in a housing that can be combined with the finger-wearing structure, that is, the housing and the finger-wearing structure are only a simple mechanical combination, wherein the light sensor can be disposed on the shell When the body is combined with the finger-wearing structure, the direction facing the finger or the outward direction, and the setting of the electrode is different depending on the physiological signal obtained. For example, if used to obtain the ECG signal, a need is needed. The electrode touches the finger and the other electrode is exposed for contact with other parts of the body. If used to obtain the myoelectric signal and/or the skin electrical signal, the two electrodes are required to be on the same side, for example, at the same time touching the finger or simultaneously exposing Touch other parts of the body.

Furthermore, another implementation option is that the replaceable finger-wearing structure is implemented as having a physiological sensing element, such as a light sensor and/or an electrode, in which case, in addition to mechanical bonding between the wearing structure and the housing. An electrical connection is also required to enable the physiological sensing component located on the finger-wearing structure to be electrically coupled to the physiological signal extraction circuitry located in the housing. Here, it should be noted that the physiological sensing component on the finger-wearing structure may be a light sensor, or may be a single electrode to match the electrode on the housing, or may be two electrodes, so it may be designed according to Change without change, no limit. As described above, the photosensor includes the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element. Therefore, when disposed on the finger-wearing structure, it is possible to select a blood physiological signal by using a penetration method or a reflection method.

Additionally, in a particular embodiment, another particular embodiment can be created by replacing the material of the finger-wearing structure. When the finger-wearing structure is implemented as a metal material, as shown in FIG. 3C, for example, a commonly-used stainless steel ring can be made by contacting the finger-wearing structure with one of the electrodes on the original casing. The wearing structure becomes an extension of the electrode, so that the action of setting the finger-wearing structure is equivalent to setting the electrode, and the contact area is also increased, which is quite convenient, and the other electrode is located on the exposed surface of the housing. Therefore, such a setting would be particularly suitable for capturing ECG signals. The advantage brought by this is that the structure of the wearing structure becomes quite simple, and it is not necessary to separately provide electrical connecting wires and electrodes, the manufacturing process can be simplified to the utmost extent, and the manufacturing cost can also be reduced.

In this case, it should be noted that the material of the wearing structure is not limited to a metal material, as long as it is a conductive material and can be combined with the housing and placed on the finger, it is a feasible choice, for example, conductive rubber, Conductive silica gel, conductive ceramics, conductive fibers, and the like are not limited, and are not limited to being composed of only one material. For example, the metal may be coated with other materials to create a visual effect, so that The electrically conductive material constitutes the body of the finger-wearing structure, for example, as a support, is within the scope of the invention.

Moreover, further, when only the electrocardiographic signal measurement is needed, the form of the electrically conductive finger-wearing structure and the housing can be directly implemented, and the housing is fixed on the finger-wearing structure, such that Come, it will be more cost effective.

In the concept of another aspect of the case, the choice is a multi-purpose setting selection based on the head.

As is well known, the head can also obtain quite a lot of physiological information, such as EEG signals, eye movement signals, myoelectric signals, brain blood flow (HEG, hemoencephalography), etc., therefore, it is especially suitable for sleep physiology during sleep. Information such as status or sleep quality, or use during physiological feedback and neurophysiological feedback. Under this premise, if the choice of other physical positions can be provided to obtain other physiological signals, it is naturally another for the user. A bullish.

Accordingly, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4A-4B, the physiological sensing element is disposed on the lower surface 101 of the housing. For example, FIG. 4A shows a case where two electrodes 120 are disposed, and FIG. 4B shows a setting light. In the case of the sensor 122, in this way, the physiological signal can be obtained from the head by using the setting mode as shown in FIG. 5. For example, FIG. 4A can obtain an electroencephalogram signal, an eye movement signal, a skin electrical signal, and a muscle. Telecommunications, etc., and FIG. 4B can obtain blood flow of the brain, blood oxygen concentration, etc., and in this case, as described above, the photosensor will acquire blood physiological information by means of reflection, and further, further The electrodes and the light sensor may be disposed at the same time to obtain more physiological signals. For example, the electrodes may be disposed on the same plane as the light sensor, or may be disposed on different planes without limitation.

Here, the housing disposed on the head is provided by a head-mounted structure, for example, a strap, a helmet, a cap, glasses, a patch, an adhesive, etc., all of which are optional forms. In particular, the head-mounted structure can also be embodied as having an electrical conduction function, for example, as a glue that is directly attached to the electrode and can help to conduct electricity, or as a conductive patch that is bonded to the electrodes on the housing. For example, a patch electrode combined with a metal interlocking method, for example, a button patch electrode. Therefore, there is no limitation as long as the housing can be placed on the head, which is within the scope of the present invention.

Next, when it is intended to be placed at another position, it is possible to design the electrode and the photosensor in contact with the skin according to the position of the electrode and the photosensor on the casing.

When it is implemented as a photosensor, it can be placed on the wrist to obtain blood physiological information from the wrist, for example, blood oxygen concentration, heart rate, etc., or can be placed at the forearm or upper arm, and can also be obtained. The above-mentioned blood physiological information is set on the finger by combining with the finger-wearing structure, and in particular, the finger is always the most commonly used position for obtaining blood physiological information, and alternatively, the light can be reversely set to make the light The sensor does not touch the skin. In this case, the blood sensor can be accessed by the other hand, and the blood physiological information can be obtained. Alternatively, the housing may be placed in front of the torso by a neck-worn structure, in which case the light sensor may be implemented to contact the torso toward the torso or may be in contact with the hand toward the outside.

When implemented as an electrode, it can also be placed at the wrist, forearm, upper arm, etc., and the skin electrical signal, myoelectric signal, etc. can be obtained by simultaneously contacting the two electrodes 120 to the skin, or placed in front of the trunk through the neck wearing structure. The two electrodes 120 simultaneously contact the skin of the trunk to obtain an electrocardiogram signal.

In this way, whether using an electrode or a light sensor, when placed on the head, the head physiological signals can be obtained, for example, brain electrical signals, ocular signals, skin electrical signals, myoelectric signals, brain blood flow. And blood oxygen concentration, etc., and when placed in front of the finger, wrist, upper arm, forearm, and trunk, can obtain cardiovascular-related signals, such as blood oxygen concentration, heart rate, ECG, etc., and others. Physiological information, such as skin electrical signals, and myoelectric signals.

Therefore, with such a design, even if the same device is equipped with different wearing structures and disposed in different body parts, a wide variety of physiological signals can be obtained, which is quite advantageous for the user. s Choice.

In a further aspect, a physiological detection device in the form of a headset is selected.

Headphones have become an indispensable accessory in modern people's daily life. Therefore, more and more physiological testing devices are implemented in the form of earwear. In addition to allowing users to use them naturally, physiological testing is also more integrated into daily life. For example, the ear wear form is suitable for various procedures such as sleep physiological detection, cardiovascular detection, physiological feedback, and neurophysiological feedback.

Moreover, when implemented in the form of earwear, the earphone function can be naturally provided by combining the sounding elements, which not only enhances the willingness to use, but also contributes to physiological feedback through the sound, neurophysiological feedback, etc., which is quite advantageous. Therefore, the ear-wearing forms described herein may be various forms of earphones that are commercially available, such as wired earphones or wireless earphones, as well as ear canal earphones, earbud earphones, ear-hook earphones, and neck-mounted earphones. Headphones, etc., without limitation, as long as they meet the conditions described below, are within the scope of the present invention, and the manner in which the sound is provided may also be changed according to the form of the earphone, for example, The sound of the wired headset comes from the portable electronic device connected to it, and the wireless headset may receive it via Bluetooth, or directly store the recording file, MP3, etc., and there are various possibilities.

Based on this, the multi-purpose physiological detecting device provided by the present invention, in one embodiment, is a double-eared form, as shown in FIGS. 6A-6C, including a first ear-wearing structure 310 and a second ear. The wearing structure 312, the physiological signal capturing circuit can be disposed in the first earwear structure, or in the second earwear structure, or in two earwear structures, or another housing is used to The circuit is arranged, as shown in FIG. 6C. In this case, the other housing can also be used to set a control button or the like, so that there is no limitation. In addition, one electrode, the electrode 330 and the electrode are respectively disposed on the two ear-wearing structures. 332, and the two ear-wearing structures are connected to each other through a connecting line 314 to achieve electrical connection between the electrode 330, the electrode 332, and the physiological signal capturing circuit.

Here, it should be noted that the arrangement and position of the electrodes will be different depending on the measurement signal. For example, the electrodes may be placed in contact with the skin of the ear or may be placed in contact with the skin of the ear. In addition, in addition to the manner in which an additional electrode is provided on the surface of the ear-wearing structure, for example, an electrode sheet is provided, other forms may be implemented. For example, the surface of the ear-wearing structure may be directly implemented as an electrode, for example, using The method of coating the conductive layer, or directly forming the portion by using a conductive material (for example, conductive rubber, conductive silica gel, etc.), therefore, there is no limitation, as long as it is located on the surface of the ear-wearing structure, the electrophysiological signal can be obtained. All are within the scope of the invention. In addition, in particular, since the structure of the ear is complicated and the structure of each individual is different, in practice, it is preferable to implement a single electrode as a plurality of small-area contact points to increase contact achievement. The probability, for example, can be implemented as an electrode having a plurality of needle-like structures, and, further, can also be implemented to have elastic elasticity, for example, using a metal spring connector (pogo pin) as an electrode to accommodate the fluctuation of the ear structure. Variations, as well as differences in different users, increase contact stability, wherein the plurality of needle-like structure electrodes have different implementation options, for example, may be soldered to a circuit board by a plurality of conductive needle structures The formation may also be an integrally formed conductive base and a plurality of conductive needle-like structures, which are not limited in any form, as long as it can provide multi-point contact and form an electrical connection with the physiological signal extraction circuit, thereby obtaining electrophysiology. The signal is OK, there is no limit.

In FIGS. 6A-6C, the electrode 330 is disposed at a position where the first ear-wearing structure is placed on an ear, which is in contact with the skin of the ear and/or the vicinity, and the electrode 332 is at the second The position on the ear-worn structure may vary from one use to another, for example, Figures 6A, 6C show that the electrode 332 is in a position that does not touch the skin near the ear, and Figure 6B shows that the electrode 332 is in contact. To the position of the ear skin.

In one mode of use, the first earwear structure is placed on the ear and the second earwear structure is removed. In this case, one option is that the electrode 332 contacts the chest to obtain the angle of projection of the heart formed by the ear and the chest, and the other option is that the electrode 332 contacts a hand holding the second ear-wearing structure, or After the second ear wearing structure is held by the hand, the electrode is contacted with the other upper limb to obtain a cardiac projection angle of the ear and an upper limb. The difference between the two options is that the angle of the heart projection obtained is different, and because of the design of the connecting line, the user can freely select a suitable and desired measurement position to obtain the best ECG signal.

In another mode of use, the first earwear structure and the second earwear structure are removed. In this case, one option is to have both electrodes in contact with the chest, and the other option is to have the two electrodes in contact with both hands. Similarly, these two options can achieve the heart projection angle of the chest to the chest, and the angle of the heart projection of both hands.

In still another mode of use, the first earwear structure and the second earwear structure are placed on the ear to obtain an electrocardiographic signal. When implemented as shown in FIG. 6A, the contact of the upper limb with the electrode can be achieved by lifting the hand, as shown in FIG. 7A, which is also quite convenient; in addition, alternatively, it can also be used for two ear-wearing structures. Electrodes are disposed on the exposed surface. Thus, as shown in FIG. 7B, the electrocardiographic signals can be obtained by respectively contacting the two electrodes respectively disposed on the exposed surface with both hands.

Furthermore, it is also possible to implement an electrode that is in contact with the ear and an electrode on the exposed surface for each ear-wearing structure, so that the one-handed (left or right hand) lifts the contact and the ear wears the structure. The exposed electrode can be used with the other side (right or left) to wear the electrodes that are in contact with the ear, and form a sampling loop. The advantage of this method is that the ear-wearing structure can take another ECG signal without removing it from the ear, and raise the left-hand touch, raise the right-hand touch, or simultaneously When the two hands are touched together, the angle of the heart projection obtained is different, which can meet different application requirements. Furthermore, in the case where the electrodes are disposed inside and outside, since the contacts for obtaining the electrocardiographic signals are all achieved by the electrodes on the different side ear wearing structures, the inner and outer electrodes of the same ear-wearing structure can be further implemented as a continuous distribution. The same electrode, in this way, will reduce the production complexity and help reduce the production cost.

In addition, in a special embodiment, two electrodes are respectively disposed on the exposed surfaces of the first ear-wearing structure and the second ear-wearing structure, so that the same manner can be used as in FIG. 7B. The electrocardiographic signal is measured, and in this case, since the exposed surface has a relatively large contact area, the action of removing the ear-wearing structure from the ear and contacting the upper limb or the trunk can be more easily achieved. Therefore, there are various implementation possibilities depending on various usage requirements, and there is no limitation.

Here, it should be noted that although the above embodiments are mainly exemplified in the form of an in-ear housing, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the ear-wearing structure may be implemented in various forms, for example, an ear clip structure, an ear hook structure, Or a combination of the ear-wearing structure, for example, an inner ear shell plus an ear hanging structure, or an ear clip plus an inner shell structure, etc., as long as a stable contact is provided, and both ears are worn. The structure may be implemented in different types, for example, it may be implemented as an ear clip on one side and as an in-ear housing on the other side, and thus, there is no limitation.

Since the two ear-wearing structures are connected by a connecting wire, when at least one of the ear-wearing structures is implemented to be removed from the ear, the contact position of the electrodes becomes very variable, for example, the range of the contactable connecting wires All the positions in the interior, and therefore, it is possible to obtain the electrocardiograms of the respective positions of the twelve guides, so that the design is equivalent to a large reduction compared with the number of electrodes and the number of connecting lines required to obtain the twelve-electrode electrocardiogram. Setting the complexity and implementing the threshold is quite helpful in making the correct and detailed judgment of the heart in an easier way.

Moreover, furthermore, in addition to the above-described manner in which the user performs self-measurement, the design of the two ear-wearing structures having the connecting lines can also be applied to obtain the electrocardiographic signals of others based on the particularity of the structure. For example, the first ear-wearing structure can be placed on one of the other's ears, the electrode is in contact with the ear and/or nearby skin, and the electrode is placed in contact with the torso of another person by holding the second ear-wearing structure, or The upper limbs, in this way, can obtain the ECG signal of others, which is quite convenient. Here, the ear clip structure is an option particularly suitable for the first ear-worn structure, and the operation of placing the ear-worn structure on the ears of others can be easily achieved.

Still further, such a device can also be used to acquire an EEG signal. In any of the above configurations, as long as the embodiment of the electrode having contact with the ear and/or nearby skin on both ear-wearing structures can be used to obtain an EEG signal, the same device can provide an ECG signal. The capture and the acquisition of EEG signals are two functions. Moreover, the ECG signal can also provide different projection angles. It is very advantageous. When the EEG signal is captured, the contact position of the electrodes is not specific. The limitation, however, preferably, the lower half of the auricle can be selected, for example, the tragus, the underside of the tragus, the earlobe, the lower half of the ear wall, etc., and the electrode serves as a reference electrode, which is more advantageous for obtaining Clear EEG signals.

Furthermore, in addition to the electrodes, the light sensor may be disposed through the ear-wearing structure, for example, may be disposed on one side or both sides to obtain blood physiological information, such as blood oxygen concentration, heart rate, etc. In addition, other physiological signal selections can be additionally provided outside the ECG signal. Here, in the same way, the light sensor will obtain blood physiological information by means of reflection, and alternatively, when it is implemented by the hand contacting the electrode, the cardiac signal is obtained. In the case of the number, the blood physiological information can be further obtained from the hand, for example, the contact with the photosensor is achieved while contacting the electrode, and in this case, the ECG signal can be obtained through the electrode at the same time and obtained by the sensor. Heart rate, so the pulse transit time (PTT, Pulse Transit Time) can be obtained through the correlation between the two physiological information, and the information such as the hardness/elasticity of the blood vessel can be known, and the blood pressure can be further estimated through calculation. The relevant values have a further meaning.

On the other hand, when the light sensor is implemented to be placed near the ear and/or the ear, it is suitable for performing continuous detection, especially heart rate, for example, for heart rate monitoring during exercise, and for long-term attention to the heart. Active patients, and through the multi-purpose design of this case, when there is special need, for example, suddenly feel abnormal heartbeat, or the heart feels uncomfortable, the user can immediately touch the electrode by raising his hand, or take the ear wearing structure Touching the torso or hand down and recording the real-time ECG signal is quite helpful in correctly determining the relevant heart problem.

Furthermore, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the purpose of multi-purpose can also be achieved by a single ear-worn structure. As shown in Figs. 8A-8B, two

electrodes

330 and 332 are disposed on a single ear-wearing structure.

In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 8A, when the earwear structure is worn over the ear, the electrode 330 will contact the ear and/or nearby skin, so that only one upper limb contact is exposed. The surface electrode 332 can perform ECG measurement. On the other hand, it is also removed from the ear, and the ECG signal is obtained by contacting different body parts, for example, the electrode 330 contacts the held hand and the electrode 332 contacts the torso. .

In a further preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8B, the ear-wearing structure is implemented to obtain an electrocardiogram signal when it is removed from the ear. In the actual implementation, there are many options, one of which Alternatively, the ear-wearing structure can be measured by the user in one hand and by touching the skin of the trunk part of the body. For example, the two electrodes can be implemented to simultaneously contact the torso, for example, the electrocardiogram is strong. On the chest, to obtain the ECG signal of the trunk, the other option can be implemented as one contact with the electrode contact, and the other contact the trunk to obtain the projection of the heart between the upper limb and the trunk. The two electrodes are in contact with each other to obtain a projection of the heart between the two upper limbs. Therefore, it is quite convenient to change the usage according to different needs.

Moreover, in order to facilitate the hand holding, the ear wearing structure can be formed to have an elongated member 316 as shown in FIG. 8B, and the electrode is disposed on the elongated structure, so that, while being conveniently held, It is also possible to achieve contact with the electrodes at the same time, which is more advantageous. In this case, the electrodes provided on the elongate member may be implemented to be distributed on one of the surfaces, or distributed on a plurality of surfaces, or may be implemented as a continuous distribution or the like, which is a feasible manner.

In addition, the two electrodes may be further disposed to be in the vicinity of the ear and/or the ear when the ear wearing structure is disposed on the ear, in addition to the position at which the electrocardiographic signal can be obtained when the ear wearing structure is removed. The skin reaches contact, for example, the tragus, the earlobe, the arm wall, the bottom of the ear, the back of the auricle, the head around the auricle (the temporal lobe), etc., so that the brain can be obtained while wearing the ear. The electric signal further increases the function used, and, as described above, selecting the electrode contacting the lower half of the auricle as the reference electrode is more advantageous for obtaining a stable EEG signal.

Still further, it can also be implemented to have a light sensor 340, for example, as shown in FIG. 8C, in a position where the ear-wearing structure is in contact with the skin of the ear and/or the ear, wherein a particularly preferred position is a tragus, Obtaining blood physiological information, such as heart rate, blood oxygen concentration, etc., during the period of wearing the ear, thereby providing more physiological information, and when the heart rate information can be obtained by the light sensor, as described above, Used to perform continuous detection, for example, for monitoring heart rate during exercise, and/or for patients who require long-term attention to cardiac activity, such that when a notification is received that the light sensor detects an abnormality, or When you feel that you have special needs, for example, if you suddenly feel abnormal heartbeat or if your heart feels uncomfortable, the user can immediately take down the ear structure and record the real-time ECG signal by touching the torso and/or the hand. Quite helpful to correctly determine the relevant heart problems.

Here, it should be noted that although the above embodiment is mainly exemplified by the in-ear housing structure, it is not limited thereto, and the ear-wearing structure may be implemented in various forms, for example, an ear clip structure, an ear hook structure, Or a combination of the ear-wearing structure, for example, the inner ear shell plus the ear hanging structure, or the ear clip plus the inner shell structure, or the ear-wearing structure can be combined with the supporting structure of the support, as long as it can provide stability Contact is a viable option.

Still further, such a single-ear structure can also be implemented to have a port for connecting an extension electrode. For example, another electrode can be provided in addition to the original two electrodes, so that the heart projections of different angles can be simultaneously obtained, for example, the original two electrodes simultaneously contact the chest, and then the extended electrode contacts. Upper limbs. On the other hand, it can also be implemented as an extension electrode instead of one of the original two electrodes, and by expanding the distance between the two electrodes, the position at which the electrodes can be contacted is more variability, for example, The electrocardiogram of the twelve guides in each position also helps to obtain more detailed cardiac information. In another aspect, the extension electrode can also be implemented to obtain another electrophysiological signal. For example, the electrode on the original single-sided ear-wearing structure can be used to contact the skin of the head near the ear or the ear, and then the electrode is pulled out. The other ear also touches the skin of the head near the ear or ear to obtain an EEG signal. Therefore, there are various possibilities and no restrictions.

As for the embodiment of the extension electrode, there are various possibilities. For example, it may be implemented to be carried by a wearing structure, for example, another ear wearing structure, a finger wearing structure, a wrist wearing structure, a neck wearing structure, a head wearing structure, or the like, or being implemented as a patch, a strap, or the like. In addition, it can also be carried by a holding structure, for example, a rod-shaped structure, which is convenient for the user to operate, and therefore, there is no limitation and can be changed according to actual needs.

There are also various possibilities for the extension electrode to be used in practice. For example, the original ear-wearing structure may extend out of an ear clip structure to carry the extended electrode. In this case, the extended ear clip structure may be clamped to the ear and the original ear-wearing structure may be utilized. Contacting the torso or upper limb; or, extending a finger-like structure to carry the extension electrode, in which case the extension finger-wearing structure can be fixed to the finger of an upper limb, and then the original ear-wearing structure is used for contact. The torso or the other upper limb: Alternatively, the original ear-wearing structure and the supporting structure of the extended electrode can be held by the hand to reach contact, for example, by touching the hand or by contacting other body parts. Therefore, there are various implementation possibilities, and are not limited to the above description, as long as the measurement methods achievable by such a structure are within the scope of the present invention.

In a further aspect, the form of the headset is used as a main body for the purpose of multi-purpose. Referring to FIG. 9A, a multi-purpose physiological detecting device includes a wearing structure 400, and two

ear wearing structures

410, 420 respectively connected to two ends of the wearing structure, and a physiological sensing component is disposed on the wearing The structure and/or the two-ear structure, and the circuitry are housed in the head-mounted structure, and/or the ear-worn structures, without limitation.

Wherein, the connection manner between the two-ear wearing structure and the head-wearing structure may have different options. For example, the connecting line may be connected, and such a flexible cable connection manner may make the setting of the head-wearing structure more free, or It can be implemented to connect the two with a telescopic structure, and such a hard structure connection method allows the head-wearing structure to obtain a further fixing force from the ear-wearing structure, and therefore, it is quite advantageous regardless of the selected method. In addition, preferably, the ear-wearing structure is embodied in the form of an in-ear housing for abutting between the inner ear shell and the auricle structure, for example, being placed in the ear canal or engaged in the inner surface of the auricle. The physiological embossing structure is equal to each other to obtain a better fixation effect, and this is not a limitation, and may be implemented in other forms, with emphasis on the actual implementation.

Here, in particular, the head-mounted structure is constructed to have a different combination with the head, as shown in FIGS. 9B-9C, the head-mounted structure can be placed on the top of the head (FIG. 9B), or placed on the forehead. Or because it is placed in the hindbrain (Fig. 9C). The reason for this design is that, firstly, in terms of EEG signals, since the cerebral cortex is divided into many regions, and different cerebral cortex regions control different human activities, When the electrodes are correspondingly placed in different cerebral cortical regions, the activities of each region can be obtained separately. For example, the forehead corresponds to the frontal cerebral cortex, and the top of the head corresponds to the parietal cerebral cortex. The corresponding area is the occipital cerebral cortex area, and the upper part of the ear corresponds to the cerebral cortex area of the temporal lobe. Furthermore, in terms of eye movement, the electrode must be placed around the eye to obtain the EOG signal. In addition, the skin telegram is used. In terms of the number and the myoelectric signal, the previous position is a preferred setting position, and accordingly, it is convenient to set the head-mounted structure to the position where the signal is to be obtained.

Wherein, the physiological sensing element can be implemented as at least two electrodes (not shown) to obtain an electrophysiological signal at the head and/or the ear. For example, an electrode may be disposed on the head-mounted structure and another electrode may be disposed on one of the ear-wearing structures. At this time, the electrode disposed on the ear-wearing structure may be used as a reference electrode, and when the head-wearing structure When it is set on the forehead, it can obtain EEG signals and EEG signals, and when it is placed on the top of the head and the back of the head, it can obtain EEG signals, and according to the position of the electrodes on the head structure, the available brain telecommunications The number represents a different meaning. For example, even if the belt is placed at the top of the head or behind the brain, if the electrode is placed close to the top of the ear, the obtained signal will be the EEG signal of the temporal lobe area. On the other hand, if the electrode is If it is placed at the top of the head, it will be the EEG signal of the parietal lobe, or if the electrode is placed behind the brain, the EEG signal of the occipital region will be obtained; or, The electrodes are all disposed on the head-mounted structure. In this case, when the head-mounted structure is placed on the forehead, the EEG signal of the frontal area and/or the EEG signal of the temporal lobe, the EO, the skin electrical signal, And / or myoelectric signals And when placed on the top of the head and the hindbrain, the occipital region EEG signal, the parietal region EEG signal, and/or the temporal lobe EEG signal can be obtained; or, another one can be set on the other ear wearing structure. The electrodes, in this way, because the two ear-wearing structures are placed on both sides of the head, and the electrodes on the wearing structure are fitted, so that the left brain and the right brain can be respectively obtained. Here, it should be noted that when a plurality of electrophysiological signals are obtained, for example, when an EEG signal and an EEG signal are simultaneously acquired, it can be implemented as having only two electrodes, and two are simultaneously acquired by the same channel. The electrophysiological signal can also be implemented as more than two electrodes, for example, three or four, and two electrophysiological signals are obtained by two channels, so that it can be changed according to actual needs without any limitation. .

In addition, the physiological sensing element can also be implemented as a light sensor and disposed on the wearing structure to obtain blood physiological information of the head, for example, blood can be obtained in the area around the forehead, near the temple, and/or above the ear. Oxygen concentration, heart rate, changes in blood flow in the brain, etc., or may be provided on the ear-wearing structure, and blood physiological information such as blood oxygen concentration and heart rate can be obtained in the same manner.

Furthermore, the physiological sensing element can also be implemented to include both an electrode and a light sensor, and in this case, the above various situations are feasible. Therefore, there is no limit.

With such a design, almost all physiological signals of the head can be obtained by the same device, and the user can select the position to be measured, which is quite convenient.

Here, it should be noted that, since it is possible to arrange the electrodes on the top of the head, the back of the brain, and the like, in addition to the general dry electrode form, it is also preferable to provide the electrode on the head structure. Implemented in the form of a needle, for example, a single needle electrode, or an electrode having a plurality of needle-like structures to facilitate passage through the hair, wherein the plurality of needle-like structure electrodes may have different implementation options, such as It may be formed by welding a plurality of conductive needle-like structures on a circuit board, or may be an integrally formed conductive base and a plurality of conductive needle-like structures, which are not limited in any form, as long as they provide multiple points. Contacting and forming an electrical connection with the physiological signal extraction circuit to obtain an electrophysiological signal; furthermore, preferably, the electrode is configured to have elastic elasticity, for example, a spring is disposed under the electrode, or a metal is used. A pogo pin acts as an electrode, which will help to accommodate different head shape variations; or, alternatively, it can be implemented as an electrode replaceable, for example, a non-needle originally used Electrodes, disposed at a position on the forehead, when it is desired to move the position having the hair, and then replace the needle electrode. In addition, the material of the electrode only needs to be a conductive material. For example, conductive metal, conductive rubber, conductive fiber, etc. are all feasible, so there is no certain limitation. Moreover, preferably, when disposed on the forehead or behind the brain, the strap may be further circumscribing the headgear structure, for example, connected to both ends of the headwear structure to achieve a better fixing effect.

In all of the above embodiments, for example, wearing, wrist wearing, neck wearing, wearing, ear wearing, clamping, etc., a motion sensing component may be added to the device, for example, an accelerometer (Accelerometer) ), a G sensor, a gyroscope, a magnetic sensor, etc., to simultaneously obtain the movement or movement of the user's body, which can be used to determine whether it is because of the body when analyzing physiological signals. The motion or movement caused the signal quality to be poor. In addition, a temperature sensing element can be added to the position at which the body temperature information can be obtained, which can help to further understand the actual physiological condition.

Further, in still another aspect of the present invention, the function of the same physiological signal capturing unit is extended by replacing different wearing structures.

First, in order to facilitate replacement between different wearing structures, the physiological signal capturing unit is formed in the form of a single small housing, as shown in FIG. 10A, that is, all the circuits are housed in a single housing. In the case of 500, when replacing, it is only necessary to remove the casing from one wearing structure and then attach it to another wearing structure, and the replacement step is simplified.

The physiological signal capturing unit includes a physiological signal capturing circuit housed in the housing 500, and has a first pair of

electrical contact regions

510a, 510b on the lower surface 502 of the housing, and a side of the housing. The

surfaces

506 and 508 have a second pair of

electrical contact regions

512a, 512b. Here, since the volume has been greatly reduced, the area of the electrical contact regions is correspondingly reduced, for example, reduced to electrical contacts. form.

Further, since the physiological information that different body parts can provide may be different, the physiological signal capturing unit may further include at least one light sensor 522, as shown in the figure, disposed on the lower surface 502 for Obtaining the user's blood physiological information, and if the electrode is also used to obtain the electrophysiological signal, it can also provide results based on the correlation between the two physiological signals, for example, Pulse Transit Time (PTT) Further, information such as blood vessel hardness/elasticity can be known, and data on the relevant blood pressure value can be further estimated.

Here, the reason for the distribution of the electrical contact portions in such a manner is that the possibility of use can be maximized. For example, one of the measurement options is to use the first pair of electrical contact areas to obtain the myoelectric signal and the skin electrical signal, or to set the ECG signal on the chest with strong ECG signals, and the other The measurement option is that the second pair of electrical contact areas can be extended to contact more locations, thereby obtaining other electrophysiological signals, such as brain electrical signals, ocular signals, skin electrical signals, myoelectric signals, electrocardiograms, etc. . Therefore, with such a design, it is quite advantageous to be able to adapt to different sampling requirements of various setting positions.

Of course, FIG. 10A shows only one configuration of the electrical contact area with the light sensor. Other configuration options may be used. For example, as shown in FIG. 10B, an electrical contact may be added to the upper surface 504. The area 514, or alternatively, may include only two electrical contact areas (similar to the case shown in FIG. 3C), and may be disposed on the same surface and/or different surfaces as the light sensor, and thus may be used according to actual use requirements. There are changes, no restrictions. In addition, other sensing elements may be added, for example, a temperature sensing element, which is disposed on the housing to obtain a position of body temperature, and is also not limited.

When the upper surface has an electrical contact region 514, it provides another option for direct exposure and contact. Such a configuration is quite advantageous for obtaining an electrocardiogram signal, for example, wherever it is placed in the body, as long as it is electrically The contact area 514 is exposed, and it can be easily contacted by a hand, and then contact with the skin of another part of the body in contact with the

contact area

510a, 510b, 512a, 512b (direct contact or extension) Contact), which forms a sampling loop for ECG signals, is also a highly advantageous implementation.

In this case, when it is intended to be placed in different parts of the body, for example, a finger, a wrist, an arm, a neck, a chest, a head, an ear, as long as it is combined with a different wearing structure, for example, a wearing structure , wrist wearing structure, arm wearing structure, neck wearing structure, head-wearing structure, ear wearing structure, patch, strap, etc., can achieve the set requirements.

In addition, since the sampling positions of the respective parts are different, and the setting conditions are also different, further, the electrode can be disposed at the most appropriate sampling position by the wearing structure, in which case, preferably, The wearing structure is provided with a combined structure that can be combined with the housing, for example, a receiving groove, and an electrical contact portion corresponding to the electrical contact area on the housing is disposed in the bonding structure, so that the housing and the housing After the structure is bonded, the electrical contact area on the housing can be electrically connected to the electrical contact portion in the bonding structure. On the other hand, as long as the electrode electrically connected to the electrical contact portion is disposed on the surface of the wearing structure, the shell can be placed. The electrical contact area on the body is electrically connected to the electrodes on the wear structure, so that the positioning and fixing of the electrodes can be directly utilized by the wearing structure, which is quite convenient.

Here, it should be noted that when the electrical contact area on the physiological signal capturing unit is directly used to contact the skin to obtain a physiological signal, it is regarded as a signal capturing electrode, and on the other hand, when it is When used to make contact with the electrical contact portion in the wear structure to achieve electrical connection between the electrode and the circuit on the wear structure, it is regarded as an electrical contact, depending on the actual implementation, without limitation, and therefore, The same electrical contact area on the housing may have different functions when used with different worn structures.

The following is a detailed description of how to set the physiological signal acquisition unit to various parts of the body, which physiological signals can be used, and the scope of application thereof.

First, in the simplest case, the physiological signal capturing unit is disposed on a finger of the user through a finger-piercing structure, and the position may be a fingertip or a proximal phalanx or a middle phalanx. The knuckles are not limited, and the finger is not limited. It is only necessary to provide a corresponding finger-wearing structure. For example, as shown in FIG. 11A, if the finger-type finger-wearing structure 600a is used, It can be placed at the fingertips. If the ring-type finger-wearing structure is used, it can be placed at the position of the knuckles. If the finger-grip structure is used, it can be clipped to the fingertips as long as the shape is suitable. On the knuckles, the form of the implementation can be changed according to actual needs. Further, it can also be implemented as a fixed structure formed of a viscous soft material, for example, a patch, a patch, a devil felt, etc., which is suitable for being placed on any finger. Section.

In addition, in terms of size, it is preferably minimized if it is adapted to be placed on a finger, for example, the size of the housing is optimally implemented to be less than 30 mm in length and less than 25 mm in width, and The thickness is less than 10 mm, so that even if it is placed on the finger, it does not feel abrupt and burden.

When the physiological signal extraction unit is placed on the finger, the most suitable physiological signal acquisition is to use the light sensor to obtain blood physiological information from the finger, for example, blood oxygen concentration, heart rate, blood flow, etc., and this is exactly The most well-known blood oxygen concentration is generally obtained.

Here, it should be noted that, as mentioned above, the blood oxygen concentration sensor commonly used in the market mainly adopts two measurement methods, a transmissive type and a reflective type, wherein the transmissive type, as shown in FIG. 2A, is adopted. The light-emitting element and the light-receiving element are placed on both sides of the finger to measure the way the light penetrates the blood vessel. Generally, the signal obtained by this method is relatively stable, and on the other hand, the reflection type is as shown in the figure. As shown in FIG. 2B, the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element are disposed on the same side of the finger, and this method has the advantages of simple structure and more power saving. Therefore, both methods have their own advantages and can be used.

Therefore, when a single casing is used, it is preferable to perform measurement by means of reflection, that is, the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element are disposed on the same side of the finger, and on the other hand, if the structure is physiology When the component is sensed, for example, the light-emitting component is disposed on the housing, and when the light-receiving component is extended to the wearing structure, the measurement can be performed by using a penetrating manner, and therefore, regardless of where the finger is disposed, the requirement is There are no restrictions on the choice of using the penetration method or the reflection method.

Here, it should be noted that the finger-wearing structure used may be any of various forms that can be fixed on the finger, as described above, for example, a ring structure, a finger-sleeve structure, a finger-grip structure, a surrounding structure, etc., limit. On the other hand, the material may also have various options. For example, an elastic material such as silicone rubber or rubber may be used; or a flexible material may be used to fix by winding, for example, a devil felt; Alternatively, a viscous substance may be further added to be fixed by adhesion; or a hard material having a finger ergonomic structure, for example, a plastic formed into a clip shape or a plastic formed in a ring form may be used. Or metal, etc.; or, a different material can be used in combination, for example, a hard material can be coated on the elastic material; or even a disposable form can be implemented. Therefore, there are various possibilities and no restrictions.

As for the combination of the housing and the finger-wearing structure, various options are available. For example, it can be implemented in various feasible ways such as embedding, snapping, magnetizing, adhering, attaching, etc., without limitation, as long as Combine and fix it.

For example, in an embodiment, the finger-wearing structure is implemented as a fingertip sleeve of a silicone material (similar to the structure shown in FIG. 11A), and the shell can be directly embedded directly on the fingertip sleeve. The groove can be used, which is convenient to manufacture, easy to fix and position, and comfortable to use; in another embodiment, the finger-wearing structure can also be made by using a resilient material, and can be opened by the design of the structure. The fixing effect is further fixed, and as shown in FIGS. 11B-11C, the housing can be plugged into the elastic finger-wearing structure 600b; in another embodiment, the finger-wearing structure is implemented as a viscous non-woven fabric. It can be used to surround the knuckles and can also be used to adhere to the fingertips. In still another embodiment, the finger-wearing structure is implemented as a devil felt, which can be freely adjusted and adapted to different finger sizes; in still another embodiment, 11D-11E, the finger-wearing structure is implemented as a ring-type finger-wearing structure 600c, and the manner in which the casing and the ring are combined can have various possibilities, for example, by engaging, plugging, magnetically, etc. In still another embodiment, the finger wearing structure is implemented as The elastic material is used, and the outer part is covered with a hard material, for example, a plastic outer casing, so that the elastic material can be used to conform to the finger curve to stabilize the physiological sensing component setting, and the fitting and the appearance can be provided. Type, or even, an exposed electrode can be provided by a hard material casing and connected to one of the electrical contact areas on the physiological signal capturing unit, so that the measurement of the electrocardiogram can be performed.

Such a setting is particularly suitable for use during sleep to detect sleep physiological state information, such as breathing conditions and sleep quality. This is because, when such a design is adopted, not only is the size small, but the structure provided on the finger is also relatively simple, it is not easy to fall off, and it does not cause any hindrance during sleep, but the blood oxygen concentration can be surely obtained. And heart rate and other information, wherein the blood oxygen concentration can be used to understand the breathing situation during sleep to provide information about Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB), for example, Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), heart rate It can be used to understand other physiological information during sleep, for example, cardiac activity, and other physiological information derived therefrom, such as the time of falling asleep, and further, if the housing is also provided with motion sensing elements, It can also detect the movement of the hands and the body, etc., and these are closely related to the quality of sleep, so it is quite advantageous.

Further, if it is used during sleep, in order to allow the user to use it freely, the surrounding range of the finger-wearing structure can be extended to a part of the palm, for example, as shown in FIG. 11F, the surrounding-type finger-wearing structure. The 600d adds a part of the palm that surrounds the lower part of the thumb. As a result, the larger area is fixed, which will make the user feel more stable and less affecting sleep. Of course, the actual implementation form of the wearing structure, Figure 11F It is used as an example only, and not as a limitation, as long as the structure that surrounds a part of the palm at the same time is within the scope of the present invention, and is not limited.

On the other hand, in addition to the above-described blood physiological information obtained by the optical sensor, the electrophysiological signal can be obtained through the electrode. As described above, since the volume of the housing is small, the contact area of the electrical contact area is small, and the distance between the two electrical contact areas is short, except for the possibility of directly obtaining the myoelectric signal and the skin electrical signal, when other electric power is to be obtained. In the case of a physiological signal, or when the location of the myoelectric signal and/or the skin electrical signal cannot be directly achieved by the housing, the contact of the electrode with the skin can be further achieved by changing the finger-wearing structure.

In implementation, the finger-wearing structure is configured to have a bonding structure for receiving the housing, and having electrodes disposed on the contactable surface and electrically connected to the electrical contact portion located within the bonding structure, thereby passing through the housing In combination with the bonded structure, the electrical contact areas on the original housing can be extended to the electrodes on the finger-wearing structure. Here, it should be noted that, depending on the actual measured physiological signals and the positions to be set, the extension of the electrodes may be implemented to extend only a single electrode, or both electrodes may be extended outward. The way of implementation.

Wherein, when used to obtain the skin electrical signal or the myoelectric signal, only one electrode may be extended to lengthen the distance between the electrodes, or both electrodes may be extended by the finger-wearing structure to be set to different positions.

In addition, when used to obtain an electrocardiographic signal, since one electrode must contact a body part other than the limb of the finger wearing the housing, at least one of the electrodes must be extended by the finger-piercing structure. There are many different options. For example, in one embodiment, one electrical contact area on the housing can be brought into contact with the finger, and the other electrical contact area extends through the finger-wearing structure to the exposed surface to contact other body parts; in another embodiment It is also possible to implement that both electrical contact areas are extended by the finger-wearing structure to contact the fingers and other body parts, respectively. Therefore, there are various possibilities and no restrictions.

Therefore, by simply changing the finger-wearing structure, it is quite advantageous to enable the same housing to perform different physiological detection behaviors and obtain different physiological signals.

Furthermore, the housing can also be implemented in combination with a head mounted structure, as shown in Figure 12A, for placement on the user's head. As is well known, the head can obtain many physiological signals, for example, electrodes can be used to obtain brain signals, ocular signals, skin electrical signals, myoelectric signals, etc., and the use of light sensors can be used to obtain changes in blood flow in the brain. Blood oxygen concentration, heart rate, etc., and brain electrical signals, ocular electrical signals, and changes in blood flow in the brain are physiological information that can only be obtained from the head. Therefore, it is a very important physiological monitoring position.

In this case, since the position of the electrode for obtaining the EEG signal has a certain limit, for example, the electrode is generally set according to the international 10-20 EEG configuration system (international 10-20 system), and the EO signal is also It is necessary to place the electrodes around the eyes, and therefore it is suitable to use the electrode extension design as described above to set the electrodes to the desired position by the head-mounted structure.

In implementation, similarly, as shown in FIG. 12B, the wearing structure 700 is implemented to have a bonding structure 710 for receiving the housing, and in particular, on the bonding structure, corresponding to the electrical The electrical contact portions of the contact region 510b and the electrical contact region 512b are electrically contacted while being bonded, and then electrically connected to the extended electrode 740 disposed on the head structure by a connecting line disposed along the head structure. In this way, even if the volume of the casing according to the present invention is very small, the EEG signal can be obtained very simply.

Moreover, by changing the form of the headwear structure, for example, changing the shape of the headgear, the electrode can be brought to any head region, and the EEG signal of the cerebral cortex region at a relative position can be obtained, for example, when placed on the forehead. At the time, the EEG signal of the frontal lobe can be obtained. When it is placed at the top of the head, the EEG signal of the parietal lobe can be obtained. When it is placed on both sides of the head and near the top of the ear, the teleencephalogram of the temporal lobe can be obtained. No., and when placed behind the head, the EEG signal of the occipital region can be obtained. As we know, different cerebral cortical areas control the different functions of the human body. Therefore, monitoring of each cerebral cortex area has its significance.

As for the form of the head-wearing structure, there may be different choices depending on the location of the signal to be obtained. For example, if it is to be placed on the forehead, the patch, the patch, and the adhesive may be simply used to reduce the burden. It can be in the form of a strap or a head frame with a clamping force. If it is to be placed on the top of the head, it can be in the form of a head frame or a hat. If it is to be placed behind the head, it can be in the form of a strap, a hat, a head frame, etc. In addition, if you want to get an EOG signal, you can set it at the forehead or extend it down to the eyes. Therefore, there is no limit and it can be changed according to actual needs.

Among them, a special form of the headwear structure is a spectacles structure. Generally, when the eyeglass structure is worn on the head, the contact position includes the bridge of the nose and the top of the ear, and in some cases, the eyes are also in contact with each other. Therefore, such a configuration is suitable for obtaining an EOG. EEG signals in the frontal area, and EEG signals in the temporal lobe. Moreover, since the housing volume according to the invention can also be implemented to be small, it is also quite suitable for bonding to the spectacles structure.

In this case, it should be noted that the extension of the electrical contact area may be implemented as a single extension or the two electrical contact areas may extend outward according to the actual measured physiological signals and the positions to be set. For example, when the headwear structure is disposed on the forehead, or when the headwear structure is implemented as a spectacles structure, an electrical contact area on the housing can be directly utilized, and only one electrical contact area is extended, and thus, there is no limit. .

Such a setting is also very suitable for use during sleep. For example, the most important basis for judging the sleep stage is the EEG signal, for example, REM (Rapid Eye Movement), deep sleep, light sleep, awake In addition, the myoelectric signal and the EO signal will also be used to determine whether it is in the fast eye movement period. These are the physiological information commonly used to judge the quality of sleep. Furthermore, the blood oxygen concentration obtained by the light sensor can be used. In order to obtain a breathing situation during sleep, for example, when sleep apnea occurs, it is usually accompanied by a decrease in blood oxygen concentration, so it can be judged whether or not sleep apnea is stopped by observing the blood oxygen concentration, and the acquired heart rate can be understood. The physiological state during sleep, for example, the state of the autonomic nerve, the condition of the heart activity, whether or not arrhythmia occurs, can also be used to determine the time of sleep onset, etc., and if motion sensing is also provided in the housing The component can also detect the user's turning and other actions. Therefore, the physiological signals obtained by the general sleep examination are almost all included. Moreover, only a small-sized housing can be completed with the wearing structure, and no complicated wiring is required, which is quite advantageous.

Still further, the housing can also be implemented in combination with a neck worn structure 800. As shown in FIGS. 13A-13B, the housing can be placed in front of a user's torso by the neck-worn structure, and in the case of being placed in front of the torso, it is suitable for obtaining an electrocardiogram signal, The housing is small in size, and the distance between the two electrical contact areas is short. Therefore, the electrical contact area can be extended by the bonding structure of the neck-wearing structure combined with the housing, for example, as shown in FIG. 13B, only Extending an electrical contact area to the electrode 810, or as shown in FIG. 13A, the two electrical contact areas extend to the electrode 810 to expand the distance between the electrodes, thereby being suitable for obtaining an electrocardiogram signal in front of the torso. Under the user, the user can easily obtain the ECG signal by simply pressing the combination of the housing and the bonding structure in front of the driving.

In addition, the light sensor in the housing can also obtain blood physiological information from the hand from the trunk or through the hand contact, for example, blood oxygen concentration, pulse wave signal, heart rate, etc., and when the ECG signal can be simultaneously obtained. As well as the pulse wave signal, as described above, the pulse wave transit time can be obtained to know the blood vessel hardness/elasticity and the like, and the data of the relevant blood pressure value can be estimated.

Furthermore, the housing can also be implemented in combination with an ear-worn structure. Since the volume of the housing is very small, when it is placed on the ear, the volume difference between the earphones and the earphones currently on the market is not large, and it is not burdened or unobtrusive.

At the position on the ear and/or near the ear, the blood oxygen concentration, pulse wave signal, heart rate, etc. can be obtained by the light sensor, and the brain electric signal, the myoelectric signal, the skin electrical signal, the electrocardiogram signal, etc. are obtained through the electrode, and the same Various choices. Wherein, the setting of the light sensor only needs to be in contact with the skin near the ear or the ear, and the brain electrical signal, the myoelectric signal, the skin electrical signal, etc. can be obtained by contacting the two electrodes with the skin of the ear and/or the area near the ear. Preferably, the electrocardiographic signal is implemented as one electrode contacting the skin near the ear or ear, and the other electrode extending to the exposed surface for contact with an upper limb.

As for the form of the ear-wearing structure, there are also various possibilities, whether it is the form of the inner ear shell, the form of the ear hook, or the form of the ear clip is a feasible way, and depending on the form, the material used may also have The settings for the electrodes and light sensors will vary depending on the changes. For example, when implemented in the form of an in-ear housing, the housing may be coated with a resilient material, such as silicone, to accommodate the depressions and protrusions on the inner surface of the auricle. It is exposed by the covering material hole, and the extended form as described above can also be used to achieve contact with the skin; when implemented in the ear hanging form, since it has a hanging piece hanging above the auricle, it is increased. It can touch the back of the auricle, and/or the head near the ear. At this time, the electrode can be extended to the pendant by extension, and the position of the housing can be placed in front of the auricle or the ear. The rear of the profile is an optional position; when implemented in the form of an ear clip, the electrode can be extended to the inner surface of the ear clip to contact the skin of the portion where the ear is sandwiched, for example, the earlobe, the edge of the auricle, etc. The electrode is extended to the exposed surface of the ear clip for upper limb contact. As for the light sensor, no matter what form of ear-wearing structure is used, it is only necessary to ensure that it will be exposed, can be contacted and fixed on the skin, and therefore, it is a feasible way, and there is no limitation.

Still further, the housing can also be implemented in conjunction with a wrist worn structure 900, as shown in Figures 14A-14B. In the vicinity of the wrist, the blood sensor can obtain blood physiological signals such as pulse wave signal, heart rate, and blood oxygen concentration, and electrophysiological signals such as myoelectric signals, skin electrical signals, and electrocardiogram signals can be obtained through the electrodes. The number and skin signal acquisition require two electrodes to simultaneously contact the same part of the skin. In addition, the ECG signal can be implemented as one electrode touching the skin near the wrist and the other electrode extending to the exposed surface for other purposes. The body part is in contact, for example, another upper limb, torso, and the like.

Here, since the volume of the housing is small, the shape of the wrist-worn structure becomes very free, and may be in the form of a wristband, a watch, or a belt, so that the user can actually follow the actual situation. Use your habits and choose the wrist-worn structure you want.

The configuration of the electrode and the photosensor is similar to the above. Wherein, the light sensor needs to be exposed and disposed at a position that can be contacted and fixed on the wrist, and the electrode can be implemented to directly expose the electrode 514 on the housing to achieve contact, as shown in FIG. 14A, and can also be utilized on the wrist wearing structure. The extended electrode 910, as shown in Fig. 14B, is not limited.

In addition, different wearing structures can also be implemented to be combined with each other, that is, the housing can be combined with one wearing structure and then combined with another wearing structure to be placed on another body part to change sampling. Position, in this case, the physiological sensing component on the housing can be selected according to different requirements, whether to extend, and which wearing structure to extend, without limitation, for example, can be implemented as The first wearing structure is extended when combined, and does not extend when combined with the second wearing structure, or the second wearing structure is extended, or the first wearing structure is not extended, but the second wearing structure The extension is performed, or both wear structures are not extended, so how to implement it depends on the needs, without limitation.

In one embodiment, the housing is firstly combined with the ear-worn structure, and then coupled with the upper neck-worn structure, when placed on the ear, can obtain blood physiological information, such as heart rate, blood oxygen concentration changes, etc. And electrophysiological signals, for example, EEG signals, eye signals, skin signals, myoelectric signals, ECG signals, etc. In addition, when placed in front of the trunk through the neck-wearing structure, the telecom can be obtained. No. For example, if two electrodes contact the torso at the same time, or one electrode contacts the torso and the other electrode contacts the hand, blood physiological information can also be obtained. Therefore, the user can perform long-term continuous detection through the ear-wearing structure, and obtain physiological signals when necessary through the neck-wearing structure, for example, when arrhythmia may occur.

In another embodiment, the housing is also implemented to be combined with the ear-worn structure, and then combined with a finger-worn structure, a wrist-worn structure, or an arm-worn structure to be placed on the upper limb, and when When it is placed on the upper limb, blood physiological information can be obtained through the light sensor, for example, heart rate, blood oxygen concentration change, and electrode to obtain skin electrical signal, myoelectric signal, ECG signal, and the like. Therefore, the user can select the upper limb or the ear according to the preference of each person to obtain the desired physiological signal.

The advantage of such an embodiment is that the user can directly combine the other wearing structure without removing the original wearing structure, which is not only convenient to operate, but also can change the setting position more quickly in daily life. Further, in view of the actual physiological changes, it is quite advantageous, and further, the first wearing structure and the housing can be embodied in an integrally formed form, providing another convenient option. Further, without being limited to the above description, any form of wearing structure can be employed to expand the range of use and increase the usability.

Herein, it should be noted that the wearing structure and the combination manner described herein are merely illustrative and not limiting, and the wearing structure that the housing according to the present invention can be fitted with is not limited as long as it can be combined with the housing. The wearable structure in which the body is combined and attached to the surface of the human body, for example, the arm wearing structure, the chest strap, the leggings strap, the patch, etc., are all applicable to the present application, and there is no limitation.

In summary, by redefining the size of the housing of the physiological signal capturing unit and the configuration of the light sensor and the electrical contact area thereof, the same physiological signal capturing unit can be commonly used for various wearing structures, thereby It is set in various body parts that can obtain various physiological signals, such as the head, ears, torso, arms, wrists, fingers, etc., and the physiological signals that can be obtained at these positions almost cover the needs of general physiological monitoring.

Further, furthermore, if the motion sensing element is placed in the casing, the movement of the body can be obtained, and/or the temperature sensing element is further added, the body temperature information can be obtained, which is more advantageous.

Furthermore, when the above-mentioned device is applied to the detection during sleep, especially when it is implemented in the finger-wearing form, in addition to the case where the wearable structure is separable from the casing, it can also be implemented as an integrally formed finger-wearing structure 600e, for example. As shown in FIG. 15, the housing that is sandwiched between the fingertips or the finger-wearing structure that is directly formed to be fixed by the finger ring is a feasible manner, and is not limited, and can be fixed to the finger.

During sleep, there are several physiological signals that can be measured by the finger and can reflect the physiological state of sleep. For example, it is known by blood oxygen concentration whether or not there is a low breathing condition, for example, shallow breathing, breathing suspension, etc. It is because when the breathing is low, the amount of oxygen in the blood will decrease. Therefore, the change in blood oxygen concentration can be observed to know the respiratory changes during sleep; in addition, the heart rate can be used to assist in observing the physiological state during sleep, for example, , the state of the autonomic nerve, the condition of the heart activity, whether there is arrhythmia, etc., can also be used to determine the time of sleep onset; further, if a motion sensing component, such as an accelerometer, is added, the body movement can be provided. Information. Therefore, even if only a small volume device is worn on the finger, a combination of the above information can also obtain a considerable amount of information about the physiological state of sleep, for example, sleep quality, which is particularly suitable for understanding whether there is sleep disordered breathing (Sleep). Disordered Breathing (SDB), for example, Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

On the other hand, if you know your own sleep situation, if you can provide a program to help you sleep at the same time, and / or help to relieve pressure, it will be a more complete solution for the user.

In recent years, more and more studies have shown that the human body can influence the body's operating system through self-consciousness regulation to achieve the effect of improving physical and mental health, for example, triggering the relaxation response in the body. The so-called relaxation reaction can be said to be a kind of physical reaction complementary to the fight-or-flight response. In general, the relaxation reaction occurs when the body no longer perceives danger. At this time, self-discipline The activity of the sympathetic nerves in the nervous system is reduced, and this reaction can be achieved by meditation, breath training, biofeedback, progressive muscle relaxation, yoga, etc. Initiated in the body can be used to treat stress and anxiety.

Among them, physiological feedback is a learning program in which the human body learns how to change physiological activities for the purpose of improving health and efficacy. In this procedure, physiological activities that can be changed by the human body through consciousness, for example, thinking, emotion, and behavior. For example, brain waves, heart rate, respiration, muscle activity, or skin temperature are monitored by the instrument and the information is quickly and accurately returned to the subject, since this information is related to the physiological changes that are desired, therefore, After the subject obtains the information, the subject can be self-consciously regulated to enhance the desired physiological response and/or improve his or her physiological state.

The physiological signals that can be obtained by the configuration of the electrodes and/or other physiological sensing elements in the physiological detecting device described above, such as brain electrical signals, myoelectric signals, skin electrical signals, heart rate, blood flow, skin temperature, etc. Physiological signals often used in physiological feedback programs.

Among them, when the alpha wave in the brain wave predominates, the human body is in a state of relaxation and waking state. When the β wave is dominant, the human body is in a state of waking and nervousness, and when the θ wave is dominant, the human body is in a state of relaxation and consciousness interruption. Therefore, the physiological and conscious state of the human body can be known by observing the changes of the brain waves; the myoelectric signal represents the tension of the human muscle, and the muscle tension is also related to the activity of the autonomic nerve, so that the muscle can be known The degree of tension; skin electrical activity is related to the activity of sweat glands, while the secretion of sweat glands is only affected by sympathetic nerves, and when sympathetic nerve activity increases, sweat gland activity increases, so the activity of sympathetic nerves can be known by measuring the electrical activity of the skin. Less, and as is well known, a decrease in sympathetic activity indicates an increase in the activity of the parasympathetic nerve, that is, the human body is in a more relaxed state; the heart rate is regulated by both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, and when the sympathetic nerve activity is increased, The heart rate becomes faster, and when the parasympathetic activity increases, the heart rate becomes slower, so the heart rate sequence can be observed. In addition, the activity of the two is known to be weak; in addition, since the blood vessels transmitted to the skin of the extremity of the limb are only affected by the sympathetic nerve, and when the sympathetic nerve activity is decreased, the vasoconstriction is reduced, the diameter of the tube is enlarged, the blood flow is increased, and the skin surface is increased. The temperature rises, so that the activity of the sympathetic nerves relative to the parasympathetic nerves can also be inferred by measuring the skin temperature of the limbs, for example, by measuring the temperature by a temperature sensing element.

As is well known, the sympathetic nerve and the parasympathetic nerve are the autonomic nervous system of the human body. Therefore, by obtaining these physiological information, the physiological information related to the autonomic nerve of the human body can be known. Therefore, the physiological information, whether it is electrophysiological information, or Blood physiological information, or body temperature information, is suitable for physiological feedback procedures. For example, physiological feedback can be performed before going to bed to achieve a physiological state that contributes to sleep. For example, physiological waves can be used to increase brain waves. The proportion of alpha waves is used to induce the occurrence of sleep. In addition, physiological feedback can be performed when there is idle time. For example, increasing the activity of parasympathetic nerves through physiological feedback can help relieve stress.

In this case, the device according to the present invention only needs to further cooperate with an information providing unit to provide the relevant physiological signal to the user through a notification information, so that the user can know the physiological change in real time, and then Achieve the settings required to perform a physiological feedback program.

For example, the information providing unit may be disposed directly on the physiological detecting device to provide information through various notification manners that are visually, audibly, and/or tactilely sensible, for example, using flash, schema, numerical changes, and the like. Perceptible mode, auditory perceptible mode such as sound and voice, and/or tactile perceptible mode such as vibration and temperature change, and can be achieved by setting heating elements, vibrating elements, sounding elements, display elements, etc., and various possibilities are possible. ,no limit.

Moreover, based on the versatile characteristics of the device according to the present invention, the user can also select the physiological signal as the physiological feedback basis based on the difference in the purpose of the feedback or the difference in the habit. For example, as long as the finger-wearing structure is selected, It is quite convenient to simply obtain the physiological feedback of relaxation from the finger to obtain body temperature information, blood physiological information, and/or skin electrical information.

Furthermore, when the wearable physiological detecting device according to the present invention is employed, it is only necessary to simply place the wearing structure, for example, wearing a ring, putting on a pair of glasses, putting on a headphone, putting on a wristband, etc., which is equivalent to completing a physiological feeling. The setting of the measuring component, then, only by starting the physiological detection and obtaining the real-time physiological information through the information providing unit, the physiological feedback can be performed, which is quite convenient, and because of the simple and convenient setting, there is almost no time in use. The location restrictions, for example, during commuting, before going to bed, etc., are the time and place for physiological feedback, which is quite helpful to enhance the user's willingness.

In contrast, in the traditional physiological feedback device, the physiological detection device used often presents a complicated wiring. For example, usually, a machine is placed on the table beside the user, and the device is wired to the user. On the body, for example, if EEG detection is performed, a plurality of wires are connected to the user's head. If the skin electrical signal is measured, the usual method is to connect two wires to the user's two fingers. If the body temperature is detected, it is also necessary to wire to the position where the body temperature is to be obtained. In this case, the user is tied to the table, which not only limits the place of use, but also limits the time of use, which is quite inconvenient.

Of course, the information providing unit can be used to provide other notifications, instructions, and the like related to the user during other wearable periods, for example, during the period of the physical feedback, for example, when the detected physiological signal meets the default condition. For example, the heart skips quickly, the arrhythmia is abnormal, the blood oxygen concentration is too low, and the like, and the user is reminded by various means such as sound, vibration, and flash, and thus there is no limitation.

In addition, the information providing unit can also be implemented as an external device, such as a smart phone, a smart watch, a tablet, a computer, etc. In this case, the device according to the present invention only needs to include a wireless transmission module, for example, The Bluetooth module can achieve wireless communication with the external device and provide user information in real time during physiological feedback, for example, using real-time wireless transmission with the smart phone, for example, by executing an application on the mobile phone (APP) to communicate with the physiological detection device worn on the body, the above various visual, auditory, or tactilely perceptible methods can be achieved by using a mobile phone, which not only reduces the burden on the hand but also All kinds of portable electronic devices such as smart phones and tablets have been fully integrated into the daily life of ordinary users, and the operation is also quite easy, without additional learning.

In addition, the wireless communication can be used for simple information transmission, for example, physiological signals captured, and detection results, in the case of physiological feedback, in which case it can be implemented as real-time wireless transmission, or The implementation is performed after the physiological monitoring is finished, and there is no limitation. Therefore, the housing can also be provided with a memory to store the acquired physiological signals, and after downloading, download to the external device. Of course, the memory can also be wirelessly transmitted. There is no limit to the previous buffer memory.

In this case, it should be noted that the wireless communication and the memory may be implemented in the devices in all the foregoing embodiments of the present invention, that is, any device mentioned herein may further configure a wireless transmission module to perform a Wireless communication between external devices, for example, can be used to transmit the measured physiological information to an external device, or the external device can control, set, etc. the device on the wearer by the wireless communication, and/ There is no limit to the configuration of a memory, and such a configuration makes the wearing form convenient and further improved, which is quite advantageous.

In summary, the present invention provides a concept of a multi-purpose physiological detecting device, which can be conveniently and simply placed on different body parts in the case of using the same wearing device, thereby obtaining different physiological signals. Not only is it cost-effective, but it also allows the user to change the way of using it according to different needs, so as to obtain the physiological signal that best meets the needs.
