Description

The present invention relates to a device for mounting a device for acquiring body information, in particular respiratory information of a user.

When worn, the physical information acquisition device automatically measures and records the user's pulse, body surface temperature, blood oxygen concentration, etc., and manages the user's health and forms big data.
An example of a physical information acquisition device is a wristwatch type device that is wrapped around the user's arm as described in Patent Document 1, and has a photoplethysmography or an optical sensor on the back to detect the blood oxygen level of the user. , etc., and, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-200020, many of the devices are mounted on the user's head and measure brain waves, gaze, and the like.

By the way, among physical information, respiratory data is very useful for grasping diseases of the respiratory system and the circulatory system.
As a device for acquiring respiratory data, in Patent Document 3, sensors are attached to two places on the seat belt, the distance between the two sensors is measured by radio waves emitted from each sensor, and body movement is measured from this. A sensor that detects the user's respiration or the like by doing so is described. Furthermore, Patent Documents 4 to 7 describe various attachments for attaching the physical information acquisition device, and Patent Documents 8 to 10 describe various attachments for attaching articles to belts and the like. Are listed.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 2016-533846 Japanese Patent No. 3217017 Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2018-201581 WO2020/017627 Japanese Patent Publication No. 2009-503734 Japanese Patent Publication No. 2018-500643 U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2015/0164422 WO2009/141942 Registered Utility Model No. 3076482 JP-A-09-299492

By the way, by irradiating a measuring wave of a standing wave radar or the like to an object to be measured and measuring the reflected wave with various sensors, it is possible to directly observe the distance between the object to be measured and the sensor.
