Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung zur Erzeugung eines akustisch oder optisch wahrnehmbaren Sprechhilfetaktes. The invention relates to an arrangement for generating an acoustically or optically perceptible speech aid clock.

Bei Sprachbehinderten, insbesondere bei Stotterern, tritt bei Anwendung eines Taktgebers, der einen periodischen akustisch oder optisch wahrnehmbaren Reiz erzeugt, eine Sprachverbesserung ein.In the case of speech-impaired people, especially those who stutter, when using a clock, the one periodic acoustically or optically perceptible stimulus generates a speech enhancement.

Eine Anordnung zur Erzeugung eines Sprechhilfetaktes mit einer kontinuierlich regelbaren Frequenz ist bekannt (DE-AS 11 74 013). Diese Anordnung nimmt keine Rücksicht auf den psychischen Zustand des Behinderten. Dabei wird es vom Behinderten als subjektiv unangenehm empfunden, daß die Sprache unabhängig von seinem jeweiligen psychischen Zustand einem starren Takt unterworfen wird.An arrangement for generating a speech aid clock with a continuously adjustable frequency is known (DE-AS 11 74 013). This arrangement takes no account of the psychological state of the Handicapped. The disabled find it subjectively uncomfortable that the language is subjected to a rigid cycle regardless of his or her psychological state.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Taktfrequenz an den jeweiligen psychischen Zustand anzupassen.The invention is based on the object of adapting the clock frequency to the respective mental state adapt.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst,The object is achieved according to the invention by

daß die Taktfrequenz von der Herzfrequenz gesteuert wird und daß die Taktfrequenz und die Herzfrequenz eine vorgegebene Beziehung zueinander haben.that the clock frequency is controlled by the heart rate and that the clock frequency and the heart rate have a predetermined relationship to each other.

Der mit der Erfindung erzielte Vorteil liegt darin, daß der Takt mit einer Frequenz angeboten wird, die von der Herzfrequenz gesteuert wird. Die Taktfrequenz hängt damit von einer Größe ab, in der der psychische Zustand des Behinderten zum Ausdruck kommt.The advantage achieved by the invention is that the heart rate is offered at a rate that is controlled by the heart rate. The clock frequency thus depends on a variable in which the mental state of the disabled person is expressed.

Die Kopplung zwischen Herzfrequenz und Taktfrequenz kann dabei in der Weise erfolgen, daß die Taktfrequenz sich bei vergößerter psychischer Belastung, die in der Regel mit gesteigerter Herfrequenz verbunden ist, vermindert, um so eine Beruhigung des Behinderten zu erreichen.The coupling between heart rate and clock frequency can be done in such a way that the Clock frequency increases with increased psychological stress, usually with increased heart frequency is connected, decreased, so as to calm the disabled.

In anderen Fällen wird es jedoch notwendig sein, die Kopplung zwischen Herzfrequenz und Taktfrequenz so vorzunehmen, daß mit steigender Herzfrequenz die Taktfrequenz ansteigt, damit so der Behinderte seine Sprechgeschwindigkeit dem jeweiligen psychischen Zustand anpassen kann.In other cases, however, it will be necessary to use the Make the coupling between heart rate and clock rate so that with increasing heart rate the Clock frequency rises, so that the handicapped his speech speed to the respective psychic State can adapt.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der Anordnung besteht darin, daß die Taktfrequenzerzeugung einfach realisiert werden kann, weil aus der Herztätigkeit in einfacher Weise Impulse gewonnen werden können, die entweder direkt oder nach Frequenzteilung oder -Vervielfachung den optischen oder akustischen Reiz hervorrufen.Another advantage of the arrangement is that the clock frequency generation can be easily implemented can, because impulses can be obtained in a simple manner from the activity of the heart, either cause the optical or acoustic stimulus directly or after frequency division or multiplication.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung werden zur Bestimmung der Herzfrequenz die herzschlagsynchronen Blutvclumenschwankunger. in peripheren Körperteilen, vorwiegend am Finger oder am Ohr ausgenutzt. Mit dieser Anordnung kann in einer den Benutzer nur wenig behindernden Weise die Herzfrequenz bestimmt werden.In a further embodiment of the invention, the heartbeat synchronous are used to determine the heart rate Blood volume fluctuations. in peripheral parts of the body, mainly on the finger or on the Exploited ear. With this arrangement, the heart rate can be adjusted in a manner that is not very difficult for the user to be determined.

Dabei werden in einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung die Blutvolumenschwankungen mit Hilfe eines photoelektrischen Pulssensors aufgenommen.In a further embodiment of the invention, the blood volume fluctuations are with the aid a photoelectric pulse sensor.

Mit diesem Pulssensor ist es möglich, wenig störanfällige elektrische Signale zu bekommen, im Gegensatz z. B. zum Elektrokardiogramm, das durch äußere elektrische Signale oder durch biologische Potentiale, wie Muskelpolentiale, leicht gestört wird.With this pulse sensor it is possible to receive electrical signals that are not very susceptible to interference Contrast z. B. to the electrocardiogram, the by external electrical signals or by biological Potentials, like muscle potentials, are easily disturbed.
