Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.
As described in the background, health monitoring functionality is constantly integrated into computer devices. At present, bioelectrical impedance can be used for monitoring vital signs through the touch screen, but the touch screen is required to be in a working state in the mode, so that the monitoring efficiency is low, the fitting degree is required to be high during measurement, the measurement accuracy is low due to the influence of factors such as skin resistance and body fluid distribution.
In view of the above problems, the application provides an input device, wherein a health monitoring module is arranged on an input module, and the input module and the health monitoring module operate independently of each other, so that the input module is not required to be in a working state, and the monitoring efficiency is higher. And the requirements on the laminating degree are lower during measurement, and the measurement accuracy is higher.
The technical scheme of the application is described in detail below by specific examples. The following embodiments may be combined with each other, and some embodiments may not be repeated for the same or similar concepts or processes.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an input device according to an embodiment of the present application, where, as shown in fig. 1, the input device in this embodiment may include:
The health monitoring system comprises an input module 10 and a health monitoring module 2, wherein the health monitoring module 2 is arranged on the input module 10;
The health monitoring module 2 is used for collecting physiological data of the target object, and the physiological data is used for determining the health condition of the target object.
In the embodiment of the application, the health monitoring module is arranged on the input module, the input module and the health monitoring module operate independently, namely, the function of the input module and the function of the health monitoring module are independent, so that the health monitoring module does not need to be in a working state when acquiring the physiological data of the target object, and the monitoring efficiency is improved.
By way of example, the target object may include a user, and may also include other organisms for health monitoring, such as animals and the like.
The physiological data may include heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, body temperature, respiratory rate, etc. Accordingly, heart rate may be used to determine the health of the heart, abnormal heart rate (too fast or too slow) may be indicative of heart disease or other health problems, blood pressure may be used to determine various health conditions, abnormal blood pressure (too high or too low) may be indicative of serious health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, etc., blood oxygen saturation may be used to determine the health of the respiratory and circulatory systems, and low blood oxygen saturation may be indicative of respiratory disease or heart problems. Body temperature may be used to determine infection, inflammation, or other health problems, such as temperatures above normothermia (e.g., 37.2 ℃) indicative of fever, respiratory frequency may be used to determine respiratory and cardiac health status, and abnormal respiratory frequency may be indicative of respiratory disease or cardiac problems.
In some embodiments, the input module may include at least one of a touch pad, a touch screen, a keyboard, and a mouse. The health monitoring module can monitor the health condition of the target object in real time in the process of using the input module such as the touch pad, the touch screen, the keyboard and the mouse, and the health monitoring module is arranged on the input module without additional equipment or accessories, so that the convenience of use is improved.
In some examples, the health monitoring module includes a light sensing unit for emitting a target light of a specified wavelength and detecting reflected and/or transmitted light of the target light, the reflected and/or transmitted light being used to determine the physiological data. The light sensing unit can accurately measure the light change of a specific wavelength, improves the measurement precision and sensitivity, and can perform surface measurement through skin to reduce the discomfort of a target object.
For example, when the heart beats, blood flow may cause a change in blood volume under the skin, thereby causing absorption and reflection of light, the light sensing unit emits green light or infrared light to the skin surface, and detects a change in light reflection intensity caused by the blood flow, by which the frequency of the heart beat may be calculated, thereby obtaining the heart rate, or the light sensing unit emits green light or infrared light through the finger or earlobe, detects a change in light transmission intensity caused by the blood flow, by which the frequency of the heart beat may be calculated, thereby obtaining the heart rate.
The blood oxygen saturation measurement is based on the absorption difference of oxyhemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin in blood to different wavelengths, the light sensing unit emits red light and infrared light to the skin surface, the change of the reflected light intensity is detected, the absorption ratio of the red light and the infrared light can be obtained through the change of the intensity of the red light and the infrared light, and the blood oxygen saturation can be calculated by comparing the absorption ratio of the red light and the infrared light.
Respiration causes volume changes in the chest and abdominal cavity, affects the blood flow and the special effect of light reflection on the skin surface, thereby generating low-frequency fluctuation in the photoplethysmography (Photoplethysmography, PPG) signal, the light sensing unit emits infrared or infrared light to the skin, detects the intensity change of the reflected light or transmitted light, performs filtering processing on the collected reflected light or transmitted light, separates out low-frequency components, extracts respiration-related features such as periodic changes of fluctuation from the low-frequency components, and calculates the respiratory rate through the period of the low-frequency fluctuation.
For example, the light sensing unit may include a light source for emitting a target light of a designated wavelength and a light sensor for detecting reflected light and/or transmitted light of the target light.
For another example, the light sensing unit may detect infrared radiation emitted from the target object to measure the body temperature of the target object, for example, the light sensing unit may include an infrared sensor that may detect infrared radiation emitted from the object.
In some examples, the health monitoring module may be disposed on the input module in an embedded manner, where the embedded manner means that a hole is formed in the input module, and the health monitoring module is directly embedded into the opening of the input module. That is, the input module is provided with an opening, and the health monitoring module is embedded into the opening, so that the light sensing unit works through the opening. By means of the method, the health monitoring module is arranged on the input module, additional external equipment and accessories are not needed, and production cost is reduced. The size and the position of the opening can be determined according to actual conditions, and the use of the input module is not influenced.
In practical applications, the openings may be disposed on the surface (which may include the upper surface or the lower surface) of the input module such as the touch pad, the touch screen, the keyboard, and the mouse, for example, the upper left corner, the upper right corner, the lower left corner, or the lower right corner of the upper surface. Openings may also be provided in the sides (which may include left or right sides) of the keyboard and mouse. Thus, the influence on the user using the input module can be reduced.
For example, the openings may or may not extend through the input module.
As an implementation mode, the light sensing unit of the health monitoring module protrudes out of the surface of the input module, so that a user can more intuitively determine the position of the health monitoring module, and the health monitoring module is convenient for the user to trigger and use.
For example, the input module is a touch pad, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the touch pad, fig. 3 shows front view and top view of the touch pad, the health monitoring module 2 is disposed on the touch pad 1, and a light sensing unit of the health monitoring module 2 protrudes out of the surface of the touch pad 1, so that a user can intuitively determine the position of the health monitoring module 2.
For another example, the input module is a keyboard, and when the health monitoring module is located on the upper surface of the keyboard, the light sensing unit may protrude from the surface corresponding to the key, or may protrude from the surface at the non-key position. When the health monitoring module is positioned on the lower surface of the keyboard, the light sensing unit can protrude out of the lower surface of the keyboard. When the health monitoring module is positioned on the side face of the keyboard, the light sensing unit can protrude out of the side face of the keyboard.
For another example, the input module is a mouse, and when the health monitoring module is located on the upper surface of the mouse, the light sensing unit may protrude from the surface corresponding to the key, or may protrude from the surface of the pulley. When the health monitoring module is positioned on the lower surface of the mouse, the light sensing unit can protrude out of the lower surface of the mouse. When the health monitoring module is positioned on the side face of the mouse, the light sensing unit can protrude out of the side face of the mouse.
In other examples, the health monitoring module may be disposed on the input module in a manner of attaching below, where the manner of attaching below is to leave a light-transmitting area on the input module, attach the health monitoring module to the light-transmitting area, and the health monitoring module may directly respond to the operation of the target object through the light-transmitting area on the input module. That is, the surface of the input module is provided with a light transmission area, and the health monitoring module is arranged in the input module and is adhered to the light transmission area, so that the light sensing unit works through the light transmission area. The method does not affect the flatness of the input module, and is compatible with the health monitoring module under the conditions of keeping the complete appearance of the input module and not changing the use habit of the target object. The size and the position of the light transmission area can be determined according to actual conditions, and the use of the input module is not influenced.
In practical applications, the light-transmitting area may be disposed on the surface (which may include the upper surface or the lower surface) of the input module such as the touch pad, the touch screen, the keyboard, and the mouse, for example, the upper left corner, the upper right corner, the lower left corner, or the lower right corner of the upper surface. The light transmission area can also be arranged on the side surface (which can comprise the left side surface or the right side surface) of the keyboard and the mouse. Thus, the influence on the user using the input module can be reduced.
As an implementation manner, the light-transmitting region may extend from the upper surface of the input module to the lower surface of the input module, and penetrate through the whole input module, i.e. the thickness of the light-transmitting region is consistent with the thickness of the input module. Accordingly, the health monitoring module can be arranged on the lower surface of the input module in a laminating and light-transmitting area. In other examples, the health monitoring module may also be disposed on the upper surface of the input module and attached to the light-transmitting area.
For example, the input module is a touch panel, the light-transmitting area 20 extends from the upper surface of the touch panel to the lower surface of the touch panel, and penetrates through the touch panel, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of the touch panel, fig. 5 shows front view and top view of the touch panel, and the health monitoring module 2 is disposed on the lower surface of the touch panel 1 and attached to the light-transmitting area 20.
For another example, the input module is a keyboard, and the light-transmitting area may be disposed in a non-button area of the keyboard and extend from an upper surface to a lower surface of the keyboard, where the upper surface of the keyboard is understood to be a surface of the non-button area.
As another implementation manner, the light-transmitting area may extend from the upper surface of the input module to the interior of the input module, and the light-transmitting area may also extend from the lower surface of the input module to the interior of the input module, where the light-transmitting area does not penetrate through the input module. Accordingly, the health monitoring module can be arranged in the input module in a bonding light transmission area.
For example, the input module is a touch panel, and the light-transmitting region may extend from the upper surface of the touch panel to the interior of the touch panel or may extend from the lower surface of the touch panel to the interior of the touch panel. The input module is a keyboard, and the light-transmitting area can extend from the upper surface of the keyboard to the interior of the keyboard, can extend from the lower surface of the keyboard to the interior of the keyboard, and can also extend from the side surface of the keyboard to the interior of the keyboard. The input module is a mouse, and the light-transmitting area can extend from the side surface of the mouse to the inside of the mouse. By the arrangement, the influence on the input module can be reduced.
In some examples, the light sensing unit is configured to emit a target light with a specified wavelength when a physiological data acquisition triggering condition is satisfied, and detect reflected light and/or transmitted light of the target light, thereby reducing energy consumption of the light sensing unit, reducing acquisition of invalid data, and improving accuracy and reliability of the data.
The physiological data acquisition triggering conditions comprise that the time length of the target object for blocking the light sensing unit reaches the preset time length, and data acquisition caused by misoperation is reduced. The preset time length can be determined according to actual conditions, and can be any value in 5 s-15 s.
For example, the light sensing unit may be blocked by a user's finger for a period of 10s or more, the light sensor may monitor the intensity change for 10s or more, the light sensor may send an instruction to the light source to cause the light source to emit the target light, and the light sensor may also detect reflected light and/or transmitted light of the target light.
In some examples, the health monitoring module further includes a data processing unit, where the data processing unit is connected to the light sensing unit, and the data processing unit is configured to determine physiological data corresponding to the target according to reflected light and/or transmitted light detected by the light sensing unit based on the target light, so that a health state of the target object can be determined.
For example, the heart rate is obtained by calculating the frequency of the heart beat by a change in light reflection intensity or a change in light transmission intensity. The absorption ratio of the red light and the infrared light can be obtained through the intensity change of the red light and the infrared light, and the blood oxygen saturation can be calculated by comparing the absorption ratio of the red light and the infrared light.
As an implementation manner, considering that when the target object is not operated, physiological data of the target object may not be accurately acquired, or that false shielding of other objects may also cause acquisition of the light sensing unit, the data processing unit is further configured to output prompt information when the physiological data of the target object cannot be determined according to reflected light and/or transmitted light returned by the target light emitted by the light sensing unit, or when the physiological data corresponding to the determined target exceeds a preset range, the prompt information is used for prompting a correct detection mode, for example, the prompt information may be output in a text or voice mode. Thus, the physiological data of the target object can be acquired more accurately.
In some examples, the health monitoring module may be communicatively connected to a processing unit of an electronic device to which the input device belongs, the data processing unit may be further configured to send physiological data to the processing unit, and the processing unit may be configured to process the physiological data to remove the effects of noise, interference, or other inaccurate factors, and determine the health condition more accurately.
For example, the processing unit may perform at least one of outputting physiological data, storing the physiological data, performing a health analysis on the target subject based on the physiological data, and outputting a health recommendation.
In some examples, the health monitoring module is in communication connection with a processing unit of an electronic device to which the input device belongs, the light sensing unit is further configured to send reflected light and/or transmitted light detected based on the target light to the processing unit, and the processing unit is configured to determine physiological data of the target object according to the reflected light and/or transmitted light detected by the light sensing unit based on the target light, so that the physiological data can be collected, and further, the health condition can be determined.
As an implementation, the processing unit is also adapted to process the physiological data so that a more accurate determination of the health condition is possible.
The processing unit is specifically configured to perform at least one of outputting physiological data, storing the physiological data, performing a health analysis on the target subject based on the physiological data, and outputting a health recommendation, for example.
As an implementation manner, the health monitoring module is in communication connection with the processing unit through a communication connection line between the input module and the processing unit, so as to save the number of the communication connection lines. The health monitoring module and the input module share the same group of buses, and the different bus addresses are distributed for communication connection with the processing unit.
By way of example, the communication connection may include a Uart (Universal Asynchronous Receiver, universal asynchronous receiver transmitter) bus, an I2C (Inter-INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, integrated circuit) bus, a BT (bluetooth) wireless, a USB (universal serial bus) bus, or the like. The universal asynchronous receiving and transmitting sensor is a common communication interface, and the I2C bus is a protocol bus allowing one master-slave multiple communication.
It should be noted that, in the above example, since the health monitoring module and the input module are independent of each other, when the input module is in the disabled state, the health monitoring module may still perform the collection of physiological data.
The input device provided by the embodiment of the application is described above, and the embodiment of the application also provides an electronic device, which comprises a processing unit and the input device.
By way of example, the electronic device may include a notebook computer, desktop computer, laptop computer, tablet computer, and the like.
In some embodiments, the electronic device further comprises an output device for outputting the physiological data so that the user can intuitively obtain the health condition.
By way of example, the output device may include a display screen for displaying the physiological data.
In some examples, the processing unit may perform data analysis and provide health advice based on algorithms on a preset application. The processing unit may also display the physiological data on the display screen through a preset application.
In other examples, the preset application may also set the health monitoring module to be in an on or off state, thereby improving flexibility.
Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present application, and are not limiting. Although the application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that variations may be made to the embodiments described, or equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof in part or in whole.
