The multi-fiber sensing assembly-based vital sign monitoring method is described below with reference to specific embodiments.
In the first embodiment, the sleeping posture and the bed position information of the user are detected.
And respectively fixing a plurality of optical fiber sensing assemblies 2 on the mattress, and establishing a plan layout of the mattress and the optical fiber sensing assemblies 2. Specifically, in this process, each fiber sensing component 2 is numbered and divided into coordinates, as shown in fig. 3.
When a person lies on the mattress, the sensing optical fibers 22 corresponding to the optical fiber sensing assemblies 2 in the mattress are extruded, optical signals transmitted in the sensing optical fibers 22 are modulated due to loss, the vital sign signal extraction and analysis module 4 detects the light output power of each optical fiber sensing assembly 2, and the light output power is smaller than a threshold value P0The optical fiber sensing component 2 displays the color difference on the plane layout drawing, and the sleeping posture and the in-bed position information of the user can be obtained by observing the color difference area in the plane layout drawing. It should be noted that the optical fiber sensing assemblies 2 do not interfere with each other.
Through real-time data analysis, the sleeping posture and the bed position of the user can be obtained in real time, and whether the user has a rest at the safe position on the bed with the healthiest sleeping posture or not can be found conveniently. Specifically, if the number of the optical fiber sensing assemblies is increased, the sleeping posture and the specific position of the user in the bed can be detected more carefully.
Specifically, the color difference area of the plane layout diagram of the healthy sleeping posture state of the user is stored, and compared with the color difference area of the plane layout diagram of the healthy sleeping posture state of the user, the unhealthy sleeping posture rest situation is checked out, and reminding warning information is sent through the cloud platform 6.
Specifically, the optical power of each optical fiber sensing assembly 2 is detected by the vital sign signal extraction and analysis module 4. The light-emitting power of the optical fiber sensing component 2 and the weight pressed on the surface of the optical fiber sensing component 2 are in a certain linear proportional relation, so that the optical fiber sensing component 2 corresponding to the body gravity center of a user in the sleeping posture can be calculated through the light-emitting power of the optical fiber sensing component 2, and safety alarm information is sent when the optical fiber sensing component 2 corresponding to the body gravity center is close to the edge of the mattress.
In the second embodiment, the turning direction of the user is detected.
If the user moves, the vital sign signal extraction and analysis module 4 detects the short-time energy of each optical fiber induction component 2, and the turning direction of the user is that the short-time energy is higher than a threshold value PhFalls below a threshold value PlThe corresponding optical fiber sensing component 2 is overturned to the short-time energy lower than the threshold value PlRises above a threshold value PhTo what is providedThe corresponding fiber optic sensing component 2.
The sleeping posture, the bed position, whether the user turns over and the like of the user are monitored in real time, the sleeping condition of the user all night is restored, and the sleeping quality analysis is conveniently and better carried out. In particular, the system can also be used for monitoring infants.
In the third embodiment, the heart rate and the respiratory rate are detected.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the vital sign signal extraction and analysis module 4 detects the heart rate and the respiratory rate in the following manner:
in this embodiment, twelve optical fiber sensing assemblies 2 are arranged, so that when a person lies on the mattress, twelve optical fiber sensing assemblies 2 measure signals containing vital sign information of different parts of the person at the same time, and a total of twelve signals are generated.
After the smooth filtering processing is performed on the signal output by each optical fiber sensing assembly 2, the energy E of the signal output by each optical fiber sensing assembly 2 is calculated respectivelyiAnd the autocorrelation coefficient RiWill simultaneously satisfy energy Ei﹥Threshold value E0And the autocorrelation coefficient Ri﹥Threshold value R0The signal of (2) is judged to be a signal with relatively good signal quality, otherwise, the signal of (3) is judged to be a signal with relatively poor signal quality; then, selecting a signal with relatively good signal quality, performing wavelet transformation, performing weighted average by using different weighting coefficients to respectively obtain a signal mainly containing the heart rate and a signal mainly containing the respiration rate, and performing Fourier transformation on the two paths of signals to respectively obtain the heart rate and the respiration rate.
Twelve signals are obtained by adopting the twelve optical fiber sensing assemblies 12, the signal-to-noise ratio of the signals is improved through weighted average, the influence of noise interference is effectively reduced, and more accurate vital sign data can be obtained conveniently. And the interference of inaccurate monitoring data caused by the body movement of the user can be effectively reduced based on the principle.
Fourth, double people are monitored for vital signs.
If the single optical fiber sensing assembly 2 is used for monitoring two users, the vital sign signals of the two users are mutually interfered, and the vital sign information of the two users cannot be obtained respectively. If two users are monitored respectively by two independent optical fiber sensing assemblies 2 on a bed, although the vital sign information of the two users can be obtained respectively, the two optical fiber sensing assemblies have interference, especially when one of the optical fiber sensing assemblies has large body movement, the other optical fiber sensing assembly can cause large interference, so that the signal quality obtained by the two optical fiber sensing assemblies 2 is poor, and the problems of inaccurate monitoring and the like occur.
In view of this, still take twelve optical fiber sensing assemblies 2 as an example to monitor the vital signs of two persons, the principle is as follows:
as shown in fig. 5, the number of users on the mattress is obtained by observing the color difference area in the plan layout; as shown in fig. 6, after the signal output by each optical fiber sensing assembly 2 is subjected to smoothing filtering, the energy E of the signal output by each optical fiber sensing assembly 2 is calculated respectivelyiAnd the autocorrelation coefficient RiWill simultaneously satisfy energy Ei﹥Threshold value E0And the autocorrelation coefficient Ri﹥Threshold value R0The signal of (2) is judged to be a signal with relatively good signal quality, otherwise, the signal of (3) is judged to be a signal with relatively poor signal quality; then selecting a signal with relatively good signal quality, performing wavelet transformation, grouping the signals by adopting a cross-correlation coefficient judgment method, and distinguishing signals corresponding to each user on the mattress; and finally, carrying out weighting average on signals corresponding to each user by using different weighting coefficients to respectively obtain signals mainly comprising heart rate and signals mainly comprising respiration rate, and carrying out Fourier transform on the two paths of signals to respectively obtain the heart rate and the respiration rate.
Specifically, when the cross-correlation coefficient R of the ith optical fiber sensing component signal and the jth optical fiber sensing component signali,j﹥Threshold value R0,0During the process, the two paths of signals are divided into a group of signals, and then the corresponding user is obtained through analysis according to the optical fiber sensing component 2 corresponding to the signals, so that the signal of which the user A is and the signal of which the user B is can be distinguished.
In the aspect of the physical activity of two users of monitoring, although the physical activity can interfere with each other, if user A moves at the body, then can appear the signal change earlier from the nearer optic fibre response subassembly 2 of user A, just then can transmit all the other optic fibre response subassemblies 2, the event measures the time sequence that the signal changed according to the optic fibre response subassembly 2 that corresponds, and it is the first emergence from which optic fibre response subassembly 2 that very easily judges that user's physical activity, so can judge that which user is moving towards which direction. Therefore, the device based on the twelve optical fiber sensing assemblies 2 realizes the functions of monitoring vital signs of double persons, determining whether the person moves and whether the person is in bed and the like, and is more suitable for common families.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like that fall within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included therein.
