Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of human posture correction, in particular to a posture correction system and a posture correction method.
Background
Prolonged incorrect sitting posture can lead to deformation of the human spine, particularly of the cervical and lumbar vertebrae, which can result in irreversible damage to the spine if not effectively adjusted or corrected. Many students and clerks are faced with irreversible cervical, spinal, and vision impairment due to prolonged sitting.
Although many people have recognized the problem, because the problem is a habitual problem and a gradually damaging problem, the problem is difficult to be noticed at ordinary times, or even if the problem is noticed, the problem is usually not noticed until after a certain injury, the spine and the lumbar are very uncomfortable, or the vision is obviously reduced, and at this stage, the doctor usually seeks for help, but the doctor only recommends that the people need to change sitting habits or assist them with some external correction appliances, such as a cervical vertebra tractor and the like, to correct the problem. However, by this time, the injury is often irreversible and cannot be recovered as before even after therapeutic adjustment.
Especially, most students or clerks who need to sit for a long time often have short sight because a sitting posture lasts too long and cannot keep sitting straight, often bend down and bow, and when the sitting posture lasts long, the lumbar vertebra and the spine incline towards the front of eyes so as to be closer to the target object, so that the lumbar vertebra and the cervical vertebra bend towards the front of the eyes and the eyesight also changes.
The neck support is an auxiliary therapeutic apparatus for cervical spondylosis, and can play a role in braking and protecting cervical vertebra, reducing nerve abrasion, relieving traumatic reaction of intervertebral joints, facilitating the regression and consolidation of tissue edema and preventing relapse. The neck support can be used for treating various cervical spondylosis, and is suitable for patients with acute attack stage, especially cervical intervertebral disc protrusion, sympathetic nerve type cervical spondylosis and vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis. The neck support in the prior art can only assist a user in stretching or treating cervical spondylosis, but cannot prompt the user to adjust the body sitting posture or the distance between the user and some objects in time when the user closely contacts the objects.
Particularly, in an epidemic situation environment where a social distance needs to be maintained, such as a hospital, a mall, or a school, where a certain social distance needs to be maintained, the proper distance can be maintained only by means of human isolation. However, the distance keeping mode is difficult to ensure that people are at proper social distance, and people cannot remind each other in an unattended place.
In addition, prior art's neck brace is when being worn by the user, can't satisfy the normal reading of user and work demand, and especially, the user is difficult to adjust the stadia when wearing, wears for a long time and can influence user's eyesight for the myopic risk of eyes. A user often cannot keep a posture still during sitting, standing or exercise, for example, a person can usually only keep a few minutes without moving in a posture during learning or working, and the long-time motionless state can easily cause fatigue of the person and even muscle damage of the person.
The neck brace in the prior art can only keep a user in a posture unchanged, but cannot prompt the user to keep a proper distance according to objects in front of the user, so that physical fatigue of the user is easily caused, and the risk of myopia is increased.

Fig. 1A and 1B of the drawings of the present specification describe a posture correction system and a correction method thereof, wherein the posture correction system is worn by a user to the body of the user, whereby the posture correction system detects the distance of an object 100 existing in front of the user according to the user's own position. In short, in this preferred embodiment of the present invention, the posture-correcting system has a distance-detecting function and a prompting function, i.e., the posture-correcting system is capable of detecting the target object 100 in front of the user according to the user's position and prompting the user by the posture-adjusting system when the user's posture needs to be adjusted.
As shown in fig. 1B, the posture correction system sets or calculates the distance between the user and the target object 100 according to the detected distance between the target object 100 and the posture correction system, and sets a reference distance according to the detected distance information. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the user uses the posture correction system, and the user selects an appropriate sitting posture, lying posture, or standing posture to adjust the distance to the target 100 according to his/her posture. The detected distance of the target object 100 is set by the posture correction system as the reference distance after the posture thereof is selected. After the reference distance is set by the posture correction system, the posture correction system generates corresponding prompt information according to the set reference distance and other use data of the user wearing the posture correction system so as to prompt the user to adjust the body posture in time and avoid keeping a uniform posture in one posture for a long time; or prompting the user to adjust the distance between the user and the target object 100 to avoid that the distance between the target object 100 and the user is too close or too far, thereby affecting the vision of the user.
Optionally, when the posture correction system is used by a user, the user may manually set the reference distance according to the user's own needs, and the posture correction system prompts the user according to the set reference distance.
Specifically, the posture correction system has a close-range prompting function, that is, when the user wears the posture correction system and the distance between the user and the target object 100 is less than L, the posture correction system generates a prompting instruction and prompts the current user to adjust the distance between the user and the target object 100 according to the prompting instruction so as to protect the eyesight of the user. For example, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the user wears the posture correction system and reads a book, and the distance between the target object (book) in front of the user and the posture correction system is less than 30 cm, the posture correction system generates a short distance prompt instruction, and prompts the current user to adjust the distance between the current user and the target object 100 according to the short distance prompt instruction, so as to protect the vision of the user. The posture correction system has a fatigue prompting function, namely when the time length of the user wearing the posture correction system is longer than S, the posture correction system generates a prompting instruction, and prompts the current user to rest or adjust the sitting posture according to the prompting instruction, so that the user is prevented from being tired due to the fact that the user is in the same sitting posture for a long time.

The processing unit 314 is electrically connected to the prompting unit 32, and the control instruction generated by the processing unit 314 is transmitted to the prompting unit 32.
The prompting device 30 further includes an activation switch 33, wherein the activation switch 33 is communicatively connected to the controller 31 of the prompting device 30, and the activation switch 33 is used to control the initialization setting of the prompting device 30. When the starting switch 33 is activated, the controller 31 of the prompting device 30 sets the distance between the neck brace 50 and the target 100, which is detected by the distance detecting device 20, as the reference distance. Further, when the activation switch 33 is activated, the distance data detected by the distance detection device 20 in a later period of time is set as the reference distance of the presentation device 30. Illustratively, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the average of the distance data between the neck brace 50 and the object 100 detected by the distance detecting device 20 within 1-3 seconds after the activation switch 33 is activated is set as the reference distance of the prompting device 30.
Preferably, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the start switch 33 of the prompting device 30 is built in the controller 31 of the prompting device 30, that is, the start switch 33 is provided on the housing 311 of the controller 31, and the start switch 33 is electrically connected to the processing unit 314 of the controller 31. More preferably, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the start switch 33 is implemented as a touch screen switch, wherein the user touches the start switch 33 after adjusting the sitting posture, and sets the reference distance of the current sitting posture to initialize the current posture.
Alternatively, in another alternative embodiment of the present invention, the start switch 33 of the prompting device 30 may be a stand-alone switch, wherein the start switch 33 is electrically connected to the controller 31 of the prompting device 30, and when the start switch 33 is triggered, the start switch 33 sends an initialization control signal to the controller 31 of the prompting device 30.
The activation device is communicatively connected to the distance detector 20. When the user wears the neck brace 50 and turns on the start switch 33, the distance detector 20 starts to detect the distance from the user to the target 100.
It should be noted that the activation switch 33 may be, but is not limited to, a mechanical button mounted on the neck brace 50, it being understood that the activation device may also be a wireless controlled switch. When the user wears the neck support 50 and turns on the starting switch 33, the distance detector 20 starts to detect the distance between the user and the target object 100, and uses the distance information as the preset distance L between the user and the target object 100, after the user sits for a long time, the lumbar vertebra or the cervical vertebra inclines towards the target object, and when the distance detector 20 detects that the distance between the user and the target object 100 is smaller than the preset distance, the prompting device 30 is triggered to send out a warning. The prompting device 30 may be a vibrator, a sound generating device, a light emitting device, or a stimulating device, for example, a temperature change or a slight electric shock stimulates the user to adjust the sitting posture.
The prompting device 30 cannot be too sensitive considering that the user may shake frequently when using the orthotic system of the invention, for example, when the preset distance L is 30 cm, the prompting device 30 need not be activated when the actual distance is 29 cm since the user only lowers his head slightly, and the prompting device 30 needs to be activated only when the actual distance is below 25 cm and is maintained for a period of time, for example, five minutes. In other words, when the preset distance L is set, it is necessary to further set a value or a range of the actual distance deviating from the preset distance and a time for which the deviation state lasts, so as to activate the prompting device 30.
The posture correction system further includes a setting module 34 communicably connected to the activation switch 33, the distance detector 20, and the prompting device 30. The setting module 34 may be mounted on the neck brace 50, or may be embedded on the distance detector 20, or may be embedded on the prompting device 30, or the whole setting device may be mounted on the neck brace 50, and only connected to the start switch 33 and the distance detector 20 in a communication manner.
It is worth mentioning that in this preferred embodiment of the present invention, the user can directly set the reference distance of the posture correction system through the setting module 34, and modify the set reference distance through the setting module 34. In other words, the setting module 34 has a man-machine interface port for receiving the setting information of the user. Preferably, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the generating setting module 34 is configured to display and receive the reference distance setting information of the posture correction system by means of a touch screen.
The correction method of the correction system comprises the following steps: the user wears the neck support 50, after sitting relative to the target 100, starts the starting switch 33, activates the distance detector 20 to measure the distance L between the neck support 50 and the target 100, then transmits the information of the distance L to the setting module 34, and sets the distance L to be a preset distance through the setting module 34, the distance detector detects the distance L1 between the neck support 50 and the target 100 in real time or intermittently during the sitting posture of the user, when L1 is smaller than L, and when the value of L minus L1 reaches a certain degree L2 or for better experience of the user, the prompting device 30 is activated after L2 lasts for a period of time T, and reminds the user to correct the sitting posture. In this usage scenario, the setting module 34 may fixedly preset the value of L2 and the value of T, for example, setting the value of L2 to 3 and the value of T to 5, which means that the prompting device 30 is activated when the distance L1 between the user and the target object is 3 cm different from the preset distance L and the duration is five minutes. Of course, the prompting device 30 is not activated when the user is at a distance greater than the preset distance from the target 100.
When the setting module 34 is a peripheral device, in other words not provided on the neck brace 50, it is only communicatively connected to the distance detector 20 and the prompting device 30. Preferably, the setting module 34 is an electronic terminal such as a mobile phone, a computer, etc., and sets corresponding parameters, such as L1, and the value of T, on the electronic terminal.
It should be noted that the start switch 33 can also be implemented as a voice control device, a fingerprint detection control device, and a touch device.
It is worth mentioning that when the user sits facing the object 100, as shown in fig. 5A and 5B, there are two parts that are easily bent, the spine and the cervical vertebrae, which are the usual stooping and lowering of the head, and there are usually several combinations of the following: in the present invention, it is preferable to use the lower jaw support 11 of the neck support 50 as a reference point, and to fix the neck of the user by adjusting the lower jaw support 11 so that the cervical vertebrae of the user cannot be bent forward, and to mount the distance detector 20 on the lower jaw support 11, so that the distance information measured by the distance detector 20 can reflect the sitting posture of the human body more truly.
It should be noted that, since the user may view the target 100 in different occasions, the distance between the neck brace 50 worn by the user and the target 100 may vary, and therefore, the distance between the neck brace 50 worn by the user and the target 100 needs to be re-detected as the preset distance L. Preferably, the setting module 34 stores the preset distance L for the last use, and when the distance between the user and the target 100 is not changed or is slightly changed, for example, students sit on the same seat every day, the desks and chairs are not changed, and the height is the same as that for the last use, the preset distance L does not need to be detected and set again, so that the convenience of the user in multiple uses is increased.
It should be noted that, in order to save electric energy, the distance detector 20 may adopt an intermittent detection mode, for example, every three minutes, and the prompting device 30 is activated only when the distance L1 between the user and the target 100 detected twice in succession is less than the preset distance L to a certain value.
As shown in fig. 7, the distance detecting device 20 further includes a signal transmitting end 21, a signal receiving end 22, and a signal processing unit 23 electrically connecting the signal transmitting end 21 and the signal receiving end 22, wherein the signal transmitting end 21 transmits a distance detecting signal to the detecting section 200, and the signal receiving end 22 receives a signal returned from the detecting section 200 of the target 100 and/or the neck brace 50. The distance detection signal received by the signal receiving end 22 of the distance detection device 20 is transmitted to the signal processing unit 23, wherein the signal processing unit 23 calculates the distance between the neck brace 50 and the target 100 according to the signal transmitted by the signal transmitting end 21 and the distance detection signal received by the signal receiving end. Preferably, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the signal emitting end 21 of the distance detecting device 20 emits a microwave detecting signal to the detecting region 200, wherein the microwave detecting signal is reflected by the target 100 and/or the neck brace 50 to form a microwave reflection signal of the target, wherein the microwave reflection signal can be received by the signal receiving end 22, so that the signal processing unit 23 can obtain the distance between the target 100 and the neck brace 50 according to the microwave detecting signal emitted by the signal emitting end 21 and the reflection signal of the target 100 received by the signal receiving end 22.
The signal processing unit 23 of the distance detecting device 20 is communicably connected to the controller 31 of the presentation device 30, wherein the distance data information obtained by the signal processing unit 23 of the distance detecting device 20 is transmitted to the processing unit 314 of the controller 31 through the communication unit 313 of the controller 31.
It is worth mentioning that the distance detecting device 20 can be disposed at the side of the neck brace 50 and the object 100, whereby the distance detecting device 20 detects the distance between the object 100 and the neck brace 50. Preferably, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the distance detector 20 is disposed at the neck brace 50, wherein the distance of the target 100 detected by the distance detector 20 can be regarded as the distance of the target 100 from the neck brace 50.
