DYNAMIC DIGITAL TWIN SYSTEM AND A METHOD OF OPERATING THEREOF FIELDOFINVENTION
The present invention generally relates to a field of electronic and communication engineering and particularly to the field of detecting and monitoring different physical and environmental parameters.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The recent advances in sensor, electronics, and power source miniaturization have allowed the size of personal health monitoring devices, also referred to herein as "biometric tracking" or "biometric monitoring" devices, to be offered in small sizes. These biometric monitoring devices may collect, derive, and/or provide one or more of the following types of information: heart rate, calorie burn, floors climbed and/or descended, location and/or heading, elevation, ambulatory speed and/or distance traveled, etc. One piece of useful physiological information measured by biometric monitoring devices relates to heart rate. As biometric monitoring devices are trending to integrate multiple sensors to measure various types of physiological and environmental information, existing devices that measure momentary heart rate require cumbersome user interaction to take the measurement, display the measured information and/or provide other user feedback. This disclosure provides biometric monitoring devices with convenient and user friendly heart rate monitoring function.
A digital twin is a digital representation of a physical object or system. The technology behind digital twins has expanded to include large items such as buildings, factories and even cities, and some have said people and processes can have digital twins, expanding the concept even further. The idea first arose at NASA: full-scale mockups of early space capsules, used on the ground to mirror and diagnose problems in orbit, eventually gave way to fully digital simulations. It is often desirable to make assessment and/or predictions regarding the operation of a real-world physical system, such as an electro-mechanical system. For example, it may be helpful to predict a Remaining Useful Life ("RUL") of an electro-mechanical system, such as an aircraft engine, to help plan when the system should be replaced. Likewise, an owner or operator of a system might want to monitor a condition of the system, or a portion of the system, to help make maintenance decisions, budget predictions, etc. Even with improvements in sensor and computer technologies, however, accurately making such assessments and/or predictions can be a difficult task. For example, an event that occurs while a system is not operating might impact the RUL and/or condition of the system but not be taken into account by typical approaches to system assessment and/or prediction processes.
A digital twin begins its life being built by specialists, often experts in data science or applied mathematics. These developers research the physics that underlie the physical object or system being mimicked and use that data to develop a mathematical model that simulates the real-world original in digital space. The twin is constructed so that it can receive input from sensors gathering data from a real-world counterpart. This allows the twin to simulate the physical object in real time, in the process offering insights into performance and potential problems. The twin could also be designed based on a prototype of its physical counterpart; in which case the twin can provide feedback as the product is refined; a twin could even serve as a prototype itself before any physical version is built. Digital twins offer a real time look at what's happening with physical assets, which can radically alleviate maintenance burdens. Biosensors measure physiological signals representative of a person's emotional state. This information may be used as a type of biofeedback, which may aid a person to be aware of and alter their response to stressful situations or to avoid those situations. This information may also be used for diagnosis, detection, monitoring or treatment of physiological disorders. Biosensors may measure physiological signals such as temperature, pulse rate or sweat production of a user. The biosensors may be worn by a user such that they can measure those signals over time as the user participates in various activities. Such measurements produce data that may be analyzed to determine a user's biological and/or health state, such as if the user has a higher than average temperature.
US20170286572A1 discloses an apparatus may implement a digital twin of a twinned physical system such that one or more sensors to sense values of one or more designated parameters of the twinned physical system. A computer processor may receive data associated with the sensors and, for at least a selected portion of the twinned physical system, monitor a condition of the selected portion of the twinned physical system and/or assess a remaining useful life of the selected portion based at least in part on the sensed values of the one or more designated parameters. US9042971B2 discloses a biometric monitoring device measuring various biometric information is provided that allows the person to take and/or display a heart rate reading by a simple user interaction with the device, e.g., by simply touching a heart rate sensor surface area or moving the device in a defined motion pattern. Some embodiments of this disclosure provide biometric monitoring devices that allow a person to get a quick heart rate reading without removing the device or interrupting their other activities. Some embodiments provide heart rate monitoring with other desirable features such as feedback on data acquisition status.
The existing and conventional technologies does not provide a real-time monitoring and detection of physical and environmental parameters of multiple users with respect to each other in real-time orientation. However, there is a need of constructing a digital twin system to monitor physical and environmental parameters of multiple users with respect to each other in real-time orientation. The disclosure of the present invention overcomes the limitations and the disadvantages of the existing technology by the technical advancements mentioned therein.
