Description

The invention relates to a micro infrared exposure unit 101 1 with an external control unit 100 1 , with a special inner ear holder 13 4 for a secure fit in the ear canal, with an infrared exposure unit according to the invention 14 4 , preferably in the near infrared region, with an infrared optic 14.1 4 for recording the human infrared own body radiation, a brightness sensor 14.2 4 the infrared exposure unit 14 4 only then turns on and / or put into standby mode when the brightness sensor 14.2 4 Introduced in the ear canal and so darkened, a camera 14.3 4 and his own exposure 14.4 4 , as well as an external control unit 100 1 , which is the electronic control of the Mirco infrared exposure unit 101 1 preferably takes over, by the Innenohraufnahme 13 4 preferably one and / or more infrared active radiation body 14 4 can record, preferably in the shortwave infrared A Range and / or the possible infrared B range up to 3,000 nanometers wavelength make their spectrum, also because here the penetration depth and their effect of the infrared radiation with an application up to 1,400 nanometers with well 5 mm and up to 3,000 nanometers between 2 - 3 mm penetration depth in human Tissue is very well developed and is particularly suitable for salutary use. Under very special medical supervision, the applications are also conceivable in the infrared C range, but are particularly secured according to the invention, because this radiation is particularly dangerous for the human eye pairs.

The infrared exposure unit 101 4 is with an infrared optic 14.1 4 which effectively captures natural infrared human radiation on the eardrum and thus can record the emission of human temperature radiation directly to the eardrum, by the following temperature measurement, a calculated and onset qualified radiant intensity of the Mirco infrared exposure unit 101 3 , can be calculated according to the current body temperature and now through the eardrum, directly into the tympanic cavity of the middle ear penetrating heat radiation for humans can be bearable and health-promoting controlled.

The of the infrared optics 14.1 4 recorded human radiation is composed of the own emission of the measurement object (here the measuring surface of the center of the eardrum), the reflection of extraneous radiation (here the human body radiation) and the radiation that passes through the object (eardrum) (transmission) and the eardrum , depending on the disease-related temporal radiation input is effectively measurable. In an ideal experimental setup without reflection and transmission, a test object (eardrum) would only emit its own body's own infrared radiation. This ideal measuring body is also called "black spotlight" in physics and has an emissivity of exactly 1.

According to the invention, it is provided that the on-site infrared measurement receiver of the infrared optics 14.1 4 , before the start of the actual application according to the invention of the onset of beneficial heat radiation via the eardrum directly into the human tympanic cavity, initially only provides a temperature measurement, then the infrared optics 14.1 4 can be bundled and recorded. This is according to the invention, for example, technically provided so that all active components, such as the infrared exposure unit 101 1 , the infrared optics 14.1 4 , with the electronics and its processor 24 5 of the external control unit 100 1 and / or alternatively a mobile terminal 9 3 , both about the loaded software in the processor of the mobile device 9 3 and the specific user interface of the application 11 3 on the touch screen 10 3 can realize an inventive and welfare-promoting application for people suffering from acute middle ear infection. If necessary, this application 11 3 also be networked with a medical platform to the healing process and the entire application of the system according to the invention of the Mirco infrared exposure unit 101 3 to provide medical assistance online. This is also the on-site camera 14.3 4 with their exposure 14.4 4 thought that such a doctor is able to provide a better online diagnosis.

State of the art:

Exact medical technical aids that can effectively combat otitis media are currently unavailable in the relevant market. Also, the extensive research carried out in the relevant medical information sources already shows that there are no innovative treatment methods in the area of otitis media. At present, it is only recommended to go to the doctor in the ear area for severe and occurring sharp pain, because behind it could possibly be a beginning middle ear infection. Acute otitis media only develops when viruses or bacteria from the nasopharynx reach the middle ear directly. The signs, such as pain and hearing loss, are therefore particularly serious. The disease is usually characterized by a viral infection by the mucous membrane in the Eustachian tube swells, and then an acute bacterial superinfection is set in motion, also because the middle ear no longer is sufficiently ventilated and is blocked by secretions. Signs of acute otitis media are primarily severe earache, often accompanied by a hearing loss or at least impaired auditory perception. Under certain circumstances, a viral infection can even be treated with known painkillers and possible anti-inflammatory drugs. If a bacterial infection is detected, most ENT doctors in Germany usually prescribe an antibiotic - at least when the symptoms have not improved after up to three days, also to prevent further complications. Ear pain can therefore manifest itself in very different ways and with different symptoms. Often they are not a clear and solitary disease, but are considered to be a concomitant of a beginning or acute illness. A middle ear infection, as well as a painful ear pressure or even tinnitus in the course of a cold and flu infections, but also in dental and jaw diseases may possibly be the cause of an infection in question. In order to make the right diagnosis and to coordinate the right treatment for the disease, a professional and / or even medical diagnosis is always necessary. Bilateral pain in the ear with stinging or oppressive complaints are usually recognizable side effects of a cold, while unilateral earaches may also point to the cervical spine or inflammation of the teeth, facial nerves or laryngeal diseases. Generally, the symptoms must all be taken seriously and properly interpreted and treated. A conventional red light lamp is said to alleviate earache through its emitted infrared heat radiation, at least the symptoms and symptoms of the disease, the prior art.

As a rule, diseases of the ears are currently treated with drops, ointments and creams, but also with salutary infrared heat. According to current scientific knowledge, the customary red-light lamp should be able to help with all non-bacterial diseases that affect the ears and cause painful complaints. In the case of possible bacterial infections and inflammatory changes in the middle ear, however, it is necessary, according to medical scientific knowledge, to additionally treat with antibiotics and to significantly accelerate recovery through the combination of heat and medication. Any home or ear doctor will recommend the red light for earache currently and refer to the pleasant warmth with pain-relieving effect. Care should be taken to ensure that the area of application and treatment is far away from the red light at a distance of approximately 40 to 60 cm, to avoid that the relief of the symptoms is accompanied by burning of the skin or overheating of the body and thus new ones Problems of the patient are caused.

The warm light of the infrared lamp and the resulting increase in the circulation alleviate the discomfort and resolve stuck secrets in the reached disease centers of the body demonstrably and scientifically proven. A febrile course of a disease is called, in particular, an increase in the body's own body temperature to approximately greater than 38 ° Celsius. The uneasy rise in temperature is not a disease, but rather a symptom of what is happening in the human body and has been triggered. The fever is a natural reaction to the body, in order to stimulate the immune system of the human body to the extent that the pathogens that infect the human body can now be effectively combated by the body's own immune system. Particularly in the case of children and the elderly, body temperature should always be measured regularly in order to better assess the course of the disease. The higher the measured temperature of the eardrum, the more infrared radiation the body sends itself and completely natural. The previous publications already indicate that the use of commercially available infra-red emitters can not effectively combat middle ear inflammation, so that new technical solutions are urgently needed here.

1. 1. Nasensprays bei einer beginnenden Mittelohrentzündung sollten mindestens drei bis vier Mal täglich, bis zu zwei oder gar drei Hüben eines abschwellenden Nasensprays in jeweils beiden Nasenlöcher eingesprüht werden - und zwar neuen Studien zufolge mindestens acht bis zehn Tage lang. Alternativ kann drei bis vier Mal täglich eine ¼ Pipette abschwellend wirkende Nasentropfen in beide Nasenlöcher des Patienten gegeben werden, ebenfalls mindestens acht bis zehn Tage lang. Werden die Mittel wie vom Arzt verordnet angewendet, ist keine Abhängigkeit zu befürchten. Sie entwickelt sich im Normalfall erst nach wochen- bis monatelanger bzw. bei täglicher Anwendung. Falls die Nasenschleimhaut blutet und sich möglicherweise Krusten bilden, kann etwa 20 Minuten nach dem Nasenspray oder den Tropfen zusätzlich eine pflegende Nasensalbe eingeführt bzw. angewendet werden.
2. 2. Die Schulmedizin empfiehlt oftmals Tabletten mit den der Arzt oft die Einnahme von antientzündlich und besonders abschwellend wirksamen pflanzlichen Mitteln, die hier beispielsweise den Wirkstoff Bromelain enthalten. Bewährt haben sich auch Tabletten mit dem schulmedizinischen Wirkstoff Diclofenac, der ebenfalls besonders antientzündlich und abschwellend und darüber hinaus auch noch schmerzstillend wirkt. Wer Diclofenac nicht verträgt oder gar nicht einnehmen darf, kann stattdessen auf Ibuprofen ausweichen, sofern nichts gegen diesen Wirkstoff spricht. Bei Kindern empfiehlt sich - nach Rücksprache mit dem Arzt - die Einnahme von Paracetamol, das besonders schmerzstillend und fiebersenkend wirkt.
3. 3. Ohrentropfen: Wenn kein Sekret aus dem Ohr läuft und somit kein Hinweis auf einen bestehenden Riss im Trommelfell sichtbar erkennbar ist, können schmerzstillende Ohrentropfen direkt in den menschlichen Gehörgang geträufelt werden. In Kopf- oder Körperseitenlage laufen sie gut verteilt auf das Trommelfell und können sich so perfekt in ihrer eigenen Wirkung entfalten. Allerdings sollte der Patient mindestens 30 Minuten in dieser Seitenlage verharren.
4. 4. Es wird auch von einer Behandlung mit Infraroten Lampen gesprochen, die in einer Entfernung von circa einem halben Meter und einer Behandlungsdauer von 15-30 Minuten auf das befallende Ohr gerichtet wird und so zur Gesundung betragen soll.

Current treatment methods as state of the art medical technology are:

1. 1. Nasal sprays on incipient otitis media should be sprayed at least three to four times daily, up to two or even three strokes of a decongestant nasal spray in each of the two nostrils, according to new studies for at least eight to ten days. Alternatively, a ¼ pipette of nasal drops that have decongestant may be given three to four times daily in both nostrils of the patient, also for at least eight to ten days. If the funds are used as prescribed by the doctor, no dependency is to be feared. It usually develops only after weeks to months or when used daily. If the nasal mucosa bleeds and crusts may develop, a nasal nasal care cream may be added or applied about 20 minutes after the nasal spray or drops.
2. 2. Conventional medicine often recommends tablets with the doctor often the intake of anti-inflammatory and particularly decongestant effective herbal remedies containing here, for example, the active ingredient Bromelain. Tablets with the conventional medicinal substance diclofenac, which also has a particularly anti-inflammatory and decongestant effect and also has an analgesic effect, have also proven successful. If you can not tolerate diclofenac or not take it at all, you can switch to ibuprofen instead, as long as nothing is said against this substance. In children - after consultation with the doctor - the intake of paracetamol, which has a particularly analgesic and antipyretic effect.
3. 3. Ear Drops: If no secretion is running out of the ear and therefore no indication of an existing tear in the eardrum is visibly recognizable, pain-killing ear drops can be dripped directly into the human auditory canal. In head or body side they run well distributed on the eardrum and can develop so perfectly in their own effect. However, the patient should remain in this lateral position for at least 30 minutes.
4. 4. It is also spoken of a treatment with infrared lamps, which is directed at a distance of about half a meter and a treatment time of 15-30 minutes on the affected ear and should amount to recovery.

Task:

The object of the invention is to open the possibility for a doctor who is treated to be able to correctly diagnose a beginning or possibly acute middle ear inflammation or to treat a sick patient himself. A doctor needs the following data for his diagnosis: "He must be able to operate an image processing system via camera and exposure to look into the inner ear in order to professionally examine the eardrum for redness and curvature. He also needs the current body temperature of the patient and he may have to perform an acoustic hearing test to determine the disease course of the patient more accurately. He also has to pay close attention to the age of the patient in his diagnosis.

According to the invention, it is then necessary to emit the infrared of the body directly at the measuring spot of the human eardrum, via the infrared optics 14.1 4 in the Mirco infrared exposure unit 101 4 and their optical property of the exact focal point in their own optics and the on-site infrared receiver in the infrared optics 14.1 4 to detect the emitted endogenous radiation of the eardrum and to the processor in the electronics 24 5 technically forwarding, where this measured value is then further processed according to the program and the infrared optics 14.1 4 now for the subsequent correct program start and the necessary application of the infrared radiation of the infrared light element 14 4 can be technically prepared.

A special feature of the device according to the invention is the option that due to the system a selected age-dependent fever value limit in the Mirco infrared exposure unit according to the invention 101 1 via the external control unit 100 1 and / or the application 11 3 of the mobile terminal 9 3 can adjust (Age Precision). Before the measurement, the patient's age can be entered, such as the color-coded display 5 2 by means of the start button 6 2 According to the age and body temperature can be synchronized by using the buttons 6 2 and 6 .1 2 through the menu of the program of the external control unit 100 1 can be navigated back and forth accordingly. Is the point of the desired navigation on the display 5 2 visible, then the button 6 2 held for 2 to 3 seconds until the confirmation of the desired menu item on the display 5 2 becomes visible. In addition, the correct position in the ear and the final temperature measurement with a possible beep through the speaker 26.1 5 and / or the speaker 38 6 acoustically confirmed. After this measurement has been completed, the irradiation dose of the infrared exposure unit corresponding to the measured body temperature 101 4 , via the infrared light element 14 4 controlled in its duration and its identity so targeted that it can achieve a salutary effect in the middle ear of the patient.

The ear, nose and throat doctor himself examines the eardrum of the patient by means of an otoscope (ear mirror with internal light source and magnifying glass) and can then determine whether and what treatment is now required for the sick patient.

According to the invention, the Mirco infrared exposure unit 101 4 therefore with its own camera 14.3 4 and your own controllable exposure 14.4 4 fitted. Thus, it should be made possible for the doctor to be able to make an online diagnosis of otitis media and / or for the user (patient) to be able to view this image of his own eardrum by himself.

In a possible hearing test, the aim is to correct the exact diagnosis of an acute otitis media or the asked Diagnosis to check, first, a conductive hearing loss would be detected. A smear and subsequent bacteriological examination are only carried out in immunocompromised patients and in those patients who do not show any noticeable improvement despite antibiotic therapy. With the help of bacteriological examination of the exact pathogens can be determined and thus a targeted antibiotic may be used again and administered properly. Prior to therapy, earache-triggering illnesses such as diabetes or allergies must urgently be considered in order to medically reconsider the treatment.

Furthermore, in the device according to the invention 100 and 101 1 for the correct diagnosis of an ENT doctor the on-site speaker are used to a telemedical approach of the device according to the invention 100 and 101 1 to reach. Therefore, the processor supplies the electronics 24 5 programmatically, an acoustics test program that now the patient on the external control unit 100 1 with the buttons 6 2 or. 6 .1 2 can confirm their information through the display 5 2 and the doctor can recognize the degree of deafness by the correct confirmation of the patient, so that a treating doctor can determine whether or not there is already a hearing problem due to a beginning otitis media. Otitis media in children up to 6 , Year of life are most often affected by an otitis media acuta. Already in the first year of life, more than 50% of infants undergo otitis media, in the third year of life it is even close to 80%. The biggest danger is that the children's complaints are not taken seriously and the disease unfortunately remains or remains unrecognized, also because possibly the diagnosis is very difficult and the otitis media becomes chronic and thus it comes to a chronic persistent deafness in infants could. The following signs can be an important indication that the treated children are affected and in particular the rapidly rising body temperature could be over 39 ° Celsius as an indication for middle ear inflammation. Another indication that the child is constantly grasping the ear, or pain in the nearby abdominal area can also be triggered by a beginning otitis media. Infants and toddlers who are more likely to develop otitis media may experience enlargement of the pharyngeal tonsils.

It has already been proven scientifically that the targeted application of infrared radiation with a certain distance to the skin of a person significantly promotes and stimulates the metabolism, even in the deeper skin layers, and thus sustainably improves the blood circulation of these skin layers. An external treatment of this radiation against otitis media has technically proven no effect, except for a possible placebo effect, because the external application reaches a penetration depth of 5 mm and can not penetrate to the middle ear. Perhaps one can assume that the defenses are strengthened thereby. In order to prevent infections of the upper airways and thus middle ear infections, it is advisable to support the immune system. But that can not afford a practical "pill" for a human. Many building blocks, such as balanced nutrition, regular fruits, vegetables, cottage cheese, yogurt, fish and (if you like) in moderation meat should be eaten. Regular sports to activate the cardiovascular system - walking, walking, jogging and swimming. Regular sauna visits and alternative baths significantly strengthen the body's defenses. Strengthening your own immune system is better than any medically prescribed pill.

According to the invention, it can not be ruled out that the micro infrared exposure unit 101 1 with external control unit 100 1 can also achieve possible treatment success in tinnitus in the middle ear. In the ear, ie where the anatomical process of actual hearing arises from the impact of sound signals on the eardrum, the brain often plays a joke on us and the ear noise, which we call tinnitus, does not exist in the physical sense. Since any illness can cause tinnitus associated with hearing, a basic understanding of hearing and hearing development is very helpful in providing a technique to initiate a recovery process. First of all, we have to understand that the sound waves in the ear are relayed and converted into electrical information, which then leads to genuine hearing in the brain. Tinnitus, the unloved ear noise, leads some people, however, especially to despair, also because it significantly disturbs the normal perception and massively obstructed. Just as hearing itself can not turn off the tinnitus. Our hearing organ, the ear, consists of the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. The outer ear consists of the visible auricle and the actual auditory canal. Here, the sound is led directly to the effective part of the eardrum, just like in a funnel, and directly vibrated by the incoming sound waves. Nearby is the temporomandibular joint, and the first cervical vertebra is not far away. Diseases affecting the temporomandibular joint or cervical spine may therefore be involved in tinnitus. The ear canal produces natural Earwax. If too much cleaning with the cotton swab forms a plug from earwax, it can seal the human auditory canal and cause tinnitus. Behind the eardrum is the middle ear (tympanic cavity), in which the three structures anvil, hammer, and stirrup lie, which amplify the natural sound and pass it on to the inner ear. Their position is regulated by two muscles designed to protect the middle ear from excessive sound. In this case, they begin to twitch - you hear a "clacking" - a form of objective tinnitus, so a tinnitus, which is triggered by a detectable sound source. The tube passage leading to the pharynx normally ventilates the middle ear naturally. If the tube (Eustachian tube) is misplaced or sealed by secretions, the lack of pressure compensation can lead to tinnitus. Middle ear infections can also cause tinnitus.

The inner ear is embedded in the bony crustal bone and houses the snail as part of the human auditory organ and the semicircular canals as an active organ of balance. In the human cochlea, the direct conversion of the incoming mechanical sound waves into direct electrical excitation takes place, because only then can the incoming sound be transported to the brain as a stimulus in the auditory nerve. For this transformation, the so-called hair cells are responsible, which are moved here by the sound waves in the liquid-filled space. Well about 48,000 of these so-called hair cells are there and each cell for a different pitch. At the entrance of the cochlea you will find the hair cells for the high notes, at the end for the low notes. This also explains why in a hearing loss and tinnitus usually uses a very high whistling sound. Since the hair cells are for the high notes to themselves and are at the front, they are the first affected by a noise damage. A typical mechanism of acute tinnitus. For where the excitation of the hair cell in the cochlea is missing, the tinnitus is produced automatically as a kind of "replacement sound".

By contrast, tinnitus sedative therapy, which has already been scientifically proven, is a new developed procedure based on the assumption that a tinnitus that has developed results primarily from the consequence or accompanying circumstance of a massive circulatory disturbance in the middle ear. Therefore, it is also strongly assumed that the Mirco infrared exposure unit according to the invention 101 1 with his control unit 100 1 could make effective treatment of tinnitus patients possible.

In summary, it can be seen from our own research that mostly medical treatment methods of the specialists are used and nasal sprays, ear drops, tablets and the well-known red light lamp are currently used as effective agents against acute otitis media. Technically, in this invention, we rely on the infrared technology, only with a specific application strategy to guide infrared radiation as close as possible to the fire and this radiation as good as unhindered to lead directly through the only 0.1 mm thin eardrum, which for infrared radiation means no obstacle. Especially when the cold is accompanied by incipient fever, it can lead to an increase in the heart rate. Concerned people usually find a high heart rate very unpleasant, as it can cause a feeling of restlessness or weakness. In the course of the cold, he is initially considered to be harmless. But it does not have to be assumed that the increased heart rate indicates another, perhaps more serious illness. The body tries by the widening of the peripheral vessels to release the heat caused by the fever to the ambient air and thus to keep its otherwise normal temperature of about 37 ° C constant. Due to the dilation of the blood vessels, however, the blood pressure drops, since the same blood volume must now be distributed over more space. This slows down the blood flow in the human veins. The body tries to counteract this with an increased heart rate, which is also referred to medically as reflex tachycardia. The increased heart rate has a second cause in this context. Increased perspiration in a feverish course of the disease of a patient, there is usually an increased fluid loss. The heart needs a higher beat rate to drive the blood through the vessels to provide the body with enough fluid. Therefore, there is also the possibility for the doctor treated, if necessary, online, the pulse frequency directly via the external control unit 100 , via the on-site sensors 102 1 to measure the current heart rate. This data can be used by the physician as advanced knowledge to provide an accurate diagnosis of his patient and / or this data can be used programmatically for the effective control of the Mirco infrared exposure unit.

The object of the invention is particularly to provide a technical system the previous treatment methods of the medical profession in addition to prevent the disease course of an emerging and beginning acute otitis media, or to effectively combat the erupted otitis and in return to the well-known commercial infrared lamps to ensure the targeted application of otitis media and to control the healing process technically. It is on it To pay attention to that periodically for targeted infrared radiation application with the infrared light element 14 4 , directly above the eardrum and its effect in the middle ear, the body's own temperature, via the infrared optics 14.1 4 permanently measured and monitored. A commercially available infrared emitter, for example up to 1,400 nanometers, has a photometric penetration depth of infrared radiation of approximately 5 mm. But this also means that a middle ear infection with the known and conventional infrared heat lamp is not treatable at all, also because it remains only in the outer and deeper layers of skin maximally and after 5 mm penetration depth in the treated human tissue already ineffective. Acute otitis media is a common complication of colds and allergies. In children, this disease is more common than in adults. Symptoms and treatment are the same in adults and older children. The infected ear hurts, the eardrum is strongly arched outwards and is visibly red. Most people who suffer from acute otitis media recover statistically, strangely, faster without treatment. However, since it is often difficult for the doctor to treat whether the patient is recovering quickly, antibiotics such as amoxicillin are often prescribed much too soon and unnecessarily. Other doctors give antibiotics only if the illness is severe or if the symptoms have not weakened after 72 hours. However, pain relief is always important in a treatment. Against the pain help paracetamol and so-called anti-inflammatories. Decongestants can relieve symptoms in adults (not children), and antihistamines may be helpful for allergy sufferers (but not for those with a cold).

The device according to the invention 1 , here's the Mirco infrared exposure unit 101 1 with their sensors and actuators and an effective connection via cable and / or wireless technology with an external control unit 100 1 and / or a mobile terminal 9 3 , as a potential digital health worker, is here to let the people suffering from otitis media recover significantly faster. The system of the Mirco infrared exposure unit 101 1 communicates directly via the technical connection with an external control unit 100 1 and / or with a conventional mobile terminal 9 3 , about the generated and technically effective connected Mirco infrared exposure unit 101 4 , with the on-site infrared optics 14.1 4 , which is thus able, via the direct internal temperature measurement in the auditory canal by the infrared optics 14.1 4 directly on the eardrum of the patient to detect the body temperature of the patient particularly effective. The brightness sensor takes over 14.2 4 by the direct effective introduction of the Mirco infrared exposure unit according to the invention 101 4 into the auditory canal and the resulting sudden change in brightness at the sensor 14.2 4 preferably the start signal and / or the standby mode for the now starting temperature measurement. The infrared optics 14.1 4 recorded, via its own optics, the body's own heat radiation emitted by the eardrum of the correspondingly diseased patient and concentrated this heat radiation directly on the sensors of the infrared optics 14.1 4 , This technical change is in the effective connection via the external control unit 100 1 and / or a conventional mobile terminal 9 3 to the electronics 24 5 of the external control unit 100 5 and / or the application 11 3 recorded and after the feverish course of the previously measured body temperature, the correct metered irradiation via the infrared light element 14 4 programmatically via the loaded software on the processor 24 5 realized. Through a program-technical process within the electronics / processor 24 5 of the external control unit 100 and / or a program execution via the application 11 3 of the mobile terminal 9 3 The recovery process can now be self-monitored and can thus stimulate the body's own blood circulation and metabolism directly via the controlled infrared radiation directly in the tympanic cavity and the middle ear, so that the recovery process is significantly accelerated and the disease-related secretions in the middle ear can be reduced faster.

The thickness of an eardrum is about 0.1 mm and has an area of about 85 mm ^{2 in adults} , of which only 55 mm ² can actually absorb an audible sound for the actual auditory canal. But this also means that the thickness of the eardrum with only 0.1 mm is not an obstacle to infrared radiation, which at an equal greater than 5 mm tissue barrier first lets through no infrared radiation A and could prevent an effective introduction into the middle ear. The infrared exposure unit according to the invention 101 1 Therefore, its generated radiation energy can be unimpeded in the middle ear and produce a significant and healing effect through the duration, identity and pulse technique of the radiation.

This task for an effective treatment of otitis media assumes the inventive micro infrared exposure unit 101 1 with an external control unit 100 1 , preferably with its own processor and / or computer programs, as well as control units which possibly also manually and / or with a mobile terminal 9 3 over the loaded application 11 3 for the targeted application and control of the micro infrared exposure unit 101 1 be available. The in the receiving socket 7 2 introduced micro infrared imaging unit 101 1 , for example in an external control unit 100 1 or in the receiving socket 12.1 3 a mobile terminal 9 3 , starts the infrared exposure unit 101 about the program in the processor of electronics 24 5 , or directly via the application 11 3 the desired application, in permanent control of the body temperature, by the infrared optics 14.1 4 is detected. Depending on the degree of ignition in the middle ear, the infrared energy source must be appropriately regulated, pulsed or adjusted in terms of time. Before the external control unit 100 1 an effective scheme and / or one on the processor 24 5 or processor of the mobile terminal 9 3 If a software program or specific application program can start, it is necessary to measure the body temperature of the patient in order to correctly record the current level of illness. This is done according to the invention by the infrared optics 14.1 4 , If the patient or the user, the infrared exposure unit according to the invention 101 4 into the ear canal and via the inner ear pickup 13 4 fixed, first the brightness sensor 14.2 4 immediately darkens and can now immediately after the temperature measurement via the infrared optics 14.1 4 , controlled by the processor of the electronics 24 5 perform automatically to determine how far the patient's fever has progressed. Depending on the strength of the feverish disease, the processor in the electronics now controls automatically 24 5 in the external control unit 100 5 the strength, duration and quality of the infrared radiation source 14 4 in the infrared exposure unit according to the invention 101 4 , Is a mobile device 9 3 with the Mirco infrared exposure unit 101 3 coupled effectively, this task takes over the processor and / or the application 11 3 of the mobile terminal 9 3 , after the program routine of the programmed application 11 3 ,

So now the mobile application of the Mirco infrared exposure unit 101 6 To expand technically according to the invention the radio technical variant of the invention is provided. The internal radio module 36 6 then connects to either an external controller 100 1 and their radio connection 26 5 , or in a conventional mobile terminal 9 3 combines the Mirco infrared exposure unit 101 with the radio module 12.3 of the mobile terminal 9 3 , In this case, the program flow can be determined both by the electronic processor element 28 6 and / or by the processor and / or application 11 3 of the connected external control unit 100 1 and / or the mobile terminal 9 3 be taken over. In this case, programmatically, the Mirco infrared exposure unit is provided 101 1 if there is no connection to an external control unit 100 1 and / or mobile terminal 9 3 with a separate program of the processor in the electronic processor element 28 over the start button 37 6 starts and over the body temperature measured with infrared optics before the start of the application 34 6 captured and afterwards on the processor of the electronics 28 retrieves charged irradiation program, for example, by the micro button 37 on the outside of the infrared exposure unit 101 is pressed and thus the processor 28 open the internal program and start when the brightness sensor 34 6 was effectively introduced in the inner ear. The effective boot process would then be via the speaker 38 6 and / or the loudspeaker of the mobile terminal 9 3 and / or the speaker 26.1 5 of the external control unit 100 5 confirmed by an acoustic signal.

The on-site speaker 38 In contrast, an application status and / or information can be transmitted directly via a plurality of acoustic signals. Here, for example, in the case of an effective connection to a medical computer network, voice messages could also be transmitted to the user or patient, which messages were possibly generated by a physician who is connected online. Also, this speaker can 38 be used for an effective hearing test and the user the confirmation on the application 11 3 and / or the connected external control device 100 over the keys 23 or. 23.1 5 to use as confirmation. If two Mirco infrared exposure units 101 6 used, then both communicate via their internal radio link 36 6 of which one of the micro infrared exposure units 101 was executed as a master device and the control of the second Mirco infrared exposure unit 101 technically via its electronic processor element 28 fully takes over in this case. Therefore, the master device is always programmed with a polling mode and thus looks for the second device completely independently. The second device does not have this program flow and only sets the signals and commands via the processor in the electronics 28 6 of the master device via the radio interfaces 36 6 around. Behind the inner ear auditory canal recording 35 there is a transparent protective screen 41 against possible pollution. Will the camera 39 the Mirco infrared exposure unit 101 activated, the brightness sensor takes over 34 also the additional task of controlling the luminance control of the camera and the exposure for the camera 40 If this is not done and controlled online by a doctor in charge, this mode is inactive for the user. Furthermore, it is visibly indicated that the sensors and actuators module 42 in the Mirco infrared exposure unit 101 finds an effective position. To ensure systemic privacy, the Mirco infrared exposure unit 101 6 in electronics 28 with a cryptic memory 43 Provided. Preferably there is the possibility to store a secure computer certificate and / or a transmitted public key, or a self-created secure signature. When actively connecting the Mirco wireless infrared imaging unit 101 , with the external control unit 100 7 and the electronics 49 7 , for example, change the processors 44 7 about the cryptic memory 45 7 and the processor of the electronics 28 6 about his own cryptic memory 43 6 the digital keys among each other so that now a secure communication is given. This happens in the same process with a mobile device 9 3 by removing the cryptic memory 43 6 with the memory of the mobile terminal 9 3 , or in the secure part of the application 11 3 exchange the digital keys with each other to establish a secure connection for the application.

the 7 shows here, for example, a possible technical embodiment of an external control device according to the invention 100 , with its function blocks the MCU (processor) 44 , his RAM memory 46 to the clipboard of communication tasks and its secure part, the cryptic memory 45 , These components are supplied by the internal power supply 47 that directly with the battery 25 5 and the interface 36 6 communicates. The radio module 48 is in direct connection with the processor 44 and transmits the appropriate commands and commands of the program application. The cryptic memory 45 loads at the beginning of commissioning of the external control unit 100 either download a digital certificate by downloading the appropriate application program, so that the processor 44 these digital key pairs in cryptic storage 45 or it will load later. For example, becomes a wireless version of the Mirco infrared exposure unit 101 6 with the external control unit 100 coupled together, or connected, then swap external control unit 100 and the Mirco infrared exposure unit 101 6 via their respective processors the digital key pairs with each other. In doing so, the public digital key becomes cryptic storage 43 6 , the Mirco infrared imaging unit 101 6 stored safely and thereby reaches the radio communication release of the data transfer. In addition, the cryptic memory has 45 Its own distinctive digital address, through which the processors can connect themselves or localize the communication partner. The cryptic memory 45 or. 43 6 can also be used for purely personal data.
