Description

Apparatus and its method of Motor Imaginary Training using wrist pulses}

The present invention relates to a virtual reality long-term drive device and method for image training using wrist pulsation.

In Chinese medicine, pulse is an important means of judging the movement and health of the five intestines.

In general, the pulse is diagnosed by touching the radial artery, the carotid artery, or the high artery on the thumb of the wrist, and the presence or absence of vascular hardening, pulse rate, small and large, fast, slow, tension, and the difference between left and right. The heart rate can be measured by counting the pulse rate for 1 minute.

When measuring the pulse of the radial artery (chon, duct, chuck) among the methods of measuring the pulse, it is stable for about 10 minutes, and then press gently on the radial artery of the left and right wrists using 2, 3, 4 fingers of the right hand. This is called pulse.

The pulsations appear on the left and right wrists differently; the left wrist sees the veins of the heart, liver, and kidneys, and the right wrist sees the lungs, rain, and prestigious veins.

These traditional pulses can be dependent on the subjective feelings or long clinical experiences of the doctor's fingers, and it is difficult to organize them according to various variable situations of the doctor and the patient. There was a problem.

In order to solve this problem, the pulsation device of the Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-0464806 proposes an apparatus for extracting the correct true wave waveform by detecting the three-point position of the village, the tube, the chuck.

In addition, in the pulsation system using the optical fiber grating sensor of the Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2009-0027270, a pulse is detected through a plurality of optical fiber grating sensors located at the three points of the village, tube, and chuck inside the wrist, and the measured pulse wave is measured. It presents a system that can be directly checked, displayed and stored in real time.

However, the above-mentioned pulse pulsar only detects a pulse systematically or outputs a waveform thereof, and there is no mention of a specific treatment and a method of using the pulse.

On the other hand, by using the output of the pulse through the image or voice to check their health status, and to check their health status as a device used to treat their health status in a stable state, an image display device having a meditation function and The control method (Korean Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-2006-0030149) has been proposed. However, the device merely mentions that it is possible to induce its psychological state to a stable state while watching its pulse state (speed) on the image display device.

On the other hand, as an exercise learning method for acquiring and improving exercise skills, Motor Imaginary Training is used in various fields, and exercise image training is performed by performing movements in the mind without using body movements. It is a method of motor learning that acquires and promotes skills.

In addition, exercise image training is the creation or re-creation of experiences in the mind, which can be said to make all experiences meaningful images in the form of stimuli involved in recollection from stored pieces of memory in all experiences. (Sohn, Gak-Joong 2000; A Study on the Development and Effectiveness of Image Training Program for Dance Major Students, Journal of Korean Dance Studies Vol. 29)

This exercise image training is composed of organic interaction between medicine, psychology, and electronic devices. It has been mainly used to maximize athletes' athletic performance and dance learning. .

For example, a stroke patient who has lost his motivation for walking late due to recovery has been shown to increase his motivation by imagining walking on his own. This mechanism of image training can be explained by several theories: Psychoneuromuscular theory acts on the same part of the brain when imagining the desired movement and when performing the movement. It is explained that the same but very weak centrifugal current flows to the cerebrum and this current is transmitted to the muscle.

The symbolic learning theory is to recognize the sequence of tasks in the imagination by encoding them as symbolic elements and to enable more automated movements and to facilitate the performance of the tasks of the subjects. Information theory is that when you think about it, your body actually reacts. As such, many reports suggesting the positive effects of exercise training on the improvement of motor and therapeutic functions have been published.

The present inventors attempted for the first time the principle of exercise image training as to whether the internal organ function can be trained and treated.

Until now, when internal organs such as the heart or liver are abnormal, modern medicine recommends that treatment through drugs, surgery, organ transplantation, etc., or improvement of the constitution through diet, etc. No method or device has been proposed for exercise.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to output an image of an organ corresponding to the pulsation measured on the display unit through the pulsation measurement, and to exercise the organ according to the pulsation, while the user is looking at the image of the organ output on the display image training By doing so, the user can easily perform long-term training anywhere, and to provide a virtual reality long-term drive device and method for image training using wrist pulsation to improve long-term exercise function.

A feature of the present invention for achieving the above object is a wrist pulsation measuring device for measuring the pulsation of the wrist, tube, chuck three points and outputs a signal corresponding thereto; A display unit; In order to correspond to the measurement position of the pulsation and the intensity and frequency signals of the pulsation in the signal output from the wrist pulsation measuring device, an image of the normal and abnormal states of the organs is recorded, and the organs output to the display unit move according to the pulsation signal. A memory in which data including a virtual reality long-term driving program is recorded; A key input unit for allowing a user to select various operation modes including types of organs to be image trained; Receives the pulsation signal output from the wrist pulsometer and determines the type of organ according to the measurement position of the pulsation, determines the state of the organ corresponding to the pulsation intensity and the number of pulsations, retrieves the image from the memory and displays the image. And a controller for driving the virtual reality organ driving program recorded in the memory so that the corresponding organ outputted on the display moves in accordance with the user's pulsation signal intensity and frequency output from the wrist pulsometer; Virtual reality long-term drive device for image training using a wrist pulsation is configured.

In the above configuration, the display unit simultaneously outputs an image of an organ obtained by using an ultrasound and an image of an organ implemented in virtual reality according to a pulsation signal output from the wrist pulsation measuring device.

The control unit compares the target pulse wave value and the measured pulsation signal value, which is a value when the organ is normally exercised, and determines that the greater the difference between the target pulse wave value and the greater the damage or malfunction of the organ. To output the video.

In addition, the virtual reality organ image output to the display unit approaches a value when the organ, which is a target pulse wave value, is normal according to the passage of time or the result of image training of the user through the virtual reality organ image output to the display unit. When the pulsation signal is input, the controller changes and outputs the image output to the display unit so that the user can recognize that the function of the organ is improved.

The pulsation signal output from the wrist pulsometer and input to the control unit is 1mv-20mv, the pulsation signal value when the target pulse wave value, i.e., the organ is extremely normal, is 10mv, and the range that can be determined to be normal is 10mv ±. 2mv.

And, using the image training apparatus, the control unit determines the type of organ to be image training by judging the signal output from the key input unit in the control unit, and the control unit determines the signal output from the wrist pulsometer A determination step of determining whether the measured value of the selected organ is in a range capable of being judged to be in a normal state; and if the wrist pulsation signal measured at the determination step corresponds to a normal state, an image of a normal organ is outputted, If it is determined that the wrist pulsation signal is not in a normal state including an image display step of outputting a long-term image that is damaged or malfunctioning on the display, using the wrist pulsation to perform the image training by repeating the above determination step and the image display step There is another feature of the present invention in a virtual reality long-term driving method for image training.

According to the present invention configured as described above, the user can easily visually recognize the warming of the organs at home, so that the image can be trained, so that the user can easily train the organs, so that the long-term training and the enhancement of the long-term exercise function can be obtained. It becomes possible.

In addition, in the case of patients in the hospital / clinic, the therapeutic effect is enhanced by performing the above-described image training together with surgery or treatment with drugs.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The virtual reality long-term drive device for image training using wrist pulsation according to the present invention is largely, a signal processing unit 210 for processing and outputting a signal output from the wrist pulsation measuring device 100 and the wrist pulsation measuring device 100 ( 220, 225, a memory 230 in which various data is recorded, a display unit 240 for outputting a long-term virtual reality image, and the pulsation measuring device 100 described above so that a user can perform image training. The controller 250 controls an operation and a key input unit 260 to select various operation modes.

On the other hand, the wrist pulsation measuring device 100 in the above configuration to measure the pulsation of the wrist, tube, chuck three points of the wrist, as shown in Figures 2a and 2b and the body 110 to be worn on the wrist, Three pressure sensors 122, 124 and 126 installed on the inner side of the body 110 to correspond to three points of the wrist, tube, and chuck, and the pressure sensors 122, 124 and 126, Pressure chamber that is formed on the body 110 behind the pressure sensor 122, 124, 126 to selectively measure the pulsation such as deep, low or medium during pulsation measurement. 130 and an air injector 140 for injecting air into the pressure chamber 130.

The above-mentioned body 110 may be formed in a cylindrical shape such as resin so that the wrist can enter, but in the embodiment of the present invention, the band of the size that can be placed on the wrist using a non-woven fabric, such as for convenience of wearing It is used as an example to install a pair of Velcro tapes 112 to be engaged with each other end of the band to make a type to fix the Velcro tape 112 around the band on his wrist. .

In addition, the air injector 140 may use an electrically driven pump (shown in FIG. 3), or may use a manual pump (shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B) for injecting air by hand. As described above, since the configuration of injecting air into the pressure chamber 130 is generally used in a blood pressure monitor, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

On the other hand, in the above embodiment in order to determine the pressure applied to the wrist during the pulsation measurement by the air injected into the pressure chamber 130, that is, to determine whether the measured pulsation is swelling, middle vein or acupuncture Another pressure sensor (not shown) for detecting the measured pressure may be further installed at the wrist contact side of the wrist 110. In the case of adjusting the pressure with the electric pump as described above, the middle, middle, and acupuncture according to the driving state of the pump Because it can be classified as may not require a separate pressure sensor.

Meanwhile, in the above-described embodiment, the pulsation measuring device 100 has been described as an example of wearing only one wrist. However, two pulsation measuring devices 100 may be provided to measure both wrists at the same time.

In addition to the wrist pulsation measuring device as described above, any conventionally known pulsator such as Korean Patent No. 10-0464806 may be used.

In the above-described configuration, the signal processing unit 210, 220, and 225 may include a filter 210 for removing noise of a signal output from the wrist pulsometer 100, and amplifying a signal output from the filter 210. The amplifier 220 and a converter 225 for converting the analog signal output from the amplifier 220 to a digital signal.

The filter 210 of the filter 210 removes the signal leaving the frequency because the frequency of the pulse wave is 1-100Hz, the amplifier 220 amplifies the input signal to a predetermined constant level, the amplifier 220 in the embodiment of the present invention The signal passing through) has a value of 0-5mv.

In addition, the converter 225 outputs a signal for long-term driving of virtual reality between 0mv-20mv by using the signal passed through the amplifier 220. Since there is no pulsation signal, the signal between 1mv-20mv The sampling frequency of the converter 225 is 200Hz, which is a pulse wave frequency of about 1-100Hz, of which 50-60Hz is an appropriate frequency, and the maximum frequency is 100Hz, so the sampling frequency is 200Hz. Decided.

The memory 230 records an image of a plurality of organs in a normal state and an abnormal state so as to correspond to the measurement position of the pulsation and the intensity and frequency signals of the pulsation in the signal output from the wrist pulsimeter 100. Then, various data necessary for operating the virtual reality long-term drive device according to the present invention are recorded, including a virtual reality long-term drive program for causing the organs to be outputted to the display unit to move according to the pulsation signal.

In addition, the key input unit 260 allows the user to select various operation modes, input whether the measured hand is a left hand or a right hand, and select the type of organ to be measured so that the control unit 250 measures the measurement. Depending on the type of organ to be used, it is possible to select the output signal of the pressure sensor corresponding to the selected organ from the signals output from the multiple pressure sensors, or to operate only the pressure sensor, and to control the driving of the pump. Various operations of the virtual reality long-term driving device can be controlled.

Looking at the virtual reality long-term driving method using the wrist pulsation measuring device 100, first, by determining the signal output from the key input unit 260, the control unit 250 determines the type of organ to be image training (S101), Accordingly, the wrist pulsation measuring device 100 is driven by adjusting the measurement position of the wrist pulsation measuring device (left hand or right hand distinction and determining the position, tube, and chuck position) and the measurement pressure (part, middle, and acupuncture).

And, to measure the user's wrist pulsation through the wrist pulsometer 100 (S102), the pressure output from the pressure sensor of the wrist pulsometer 100 is usually about 20-220mmHG, pulse rate is 30-250BPM This signal corresponds to (beats per minute).

When the pulsation is measured as described above, the signal output from the pulsation meter 100 passes through the filter 210 and noise is removed. The signal from which the noise is removed is amplified to a constant level in the amplifier 220 and then the converter 225 is operated. It is converted into a digital signal through the input to the control unit 250.

In this way, by determining the signal input through the amplifier 220 and the signal output from the key input unit 260, the control unit 250 determines the position of the measured signal (left hand or right hand distinction and angle, pipe, chuck position determination) And determine the type of organ, determine the state of the organ, and search for and display the image of the organ from the memory 230 according to the combination of the measurement pressure (partial, middle and acupuncture) and the magnitude and number of pulsations. The control unit 240 outputs to the unit 240 (S103 to S105), determines whether the image training is in the end mode (S106), and repeats the above steps S102 to S105 until the image training ends.

At this time, the image training end point is provided with its own timer so as to be set by the user through the key input unit to determine whether the set time has elapsed or whether there is an end mode signal input from the key input unit.

As an example of the image training, when the heart pulsation measurement signal is input through the key input unit 260, the signal output from the pressure sensor in the village position is determined, and the display unit 240 displays a heart image.

In addition, in order to determine the state of the organ, the controller 250 determines the level of the signal for driving the virtual reality organ between 1-20mv input. The pulsation signal value when the organ is in a steady state is 10mv, and at 10mv. If the signal is within the error range (± 2mv, which can be set arbitrarily), it outputs the organ image in the normal state, and if it is out of the range, the image of the damaged or abnormally exercised organ is output. According to the pulsation signal value, the farther away from the normal state, the more images of damage or abnormal movement are output.

Thereafter, the long-term image displayed on the display unit 240 is expressed as exercising in virtual reality according to the pulsation of the user output from the pulsation measuring apparatus 100. For example, when the output image is a heart, the pulsation signal At the moment the pulse beats, the heart controls the heart image output to the display unit 240 by contracting movement.

An example of the image of the virtual reality organ is shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, and a plurality of images are sequentially output on a screen or a moving image is output.

Accordingly, the user visually accepts that the organ output on the display unit 240 is exercising according to his pulsation, thereby enabling image training.

In particular, when the image of the organ output on the display unit 240 is abnormally exercised or damaged, the initial screen is output. In the process of continuously outputting a moving image of the organ, the organ is normally operated or functioned on the display unit 240. The abnormal function in the normal function is changed to the image that the user can intuitively output, so the user can remember and judge that the organ is exercising normally during unconsciousness, so that image training becomes possible.

At this time, 10mv, which is a value in which the organ is normally exercised, is referred to as a target pulse wave value. As a result of image training through an image output to the display unit 240, the pulsation signal value has a certain size error compared to the target pulse wave value. When the error range decreases and approaches the target pulse wave value, the organ of the virtual reality output on the display moves to a normal state, and when it stays near 1mv or 20mv, the organ of the virtual reality output on the display is severely shrunk or sick. Make it look like

Meanwhile, in the above configuration, the display unit 240 may simultaneously output the real organ image of the measurer and the organ image implemented by virtual reality.

Look at the image training example using the virtual reality long-term drive device for image training using the wrist pulsation as described above.

Image training is conducted 3 times a week, once every 30 minutes, and the display shows the entire external organs, the whole internal organs-> the corresponding organs-> the internal organs of the organs, etc. It is changed and displayed.

If the liver or the heart shows the outside of the liver and heart as shown in Figs. 7 and 8, the image output on the display is adjusted to show the blood movement of various blood vessels inside, and the blood moves normally according to the wrist pulsation signal value. If the wrist pulsation signal value is out of the normal value, the blood flow rate is slowed and foreign substances such as fat are attached to the blood vessel wall.

In the case of the kidney, after showing the kidney image, the appearance of the tubules is displayed on the display, and when the wrist pulsation signal value is out of the normal state, the wound is generated in the tubules and the detached image is outputted. When the normal state is restored, the detached image is outputted.

As a result of image training of one kidney disease (creatine 2.6) and four cirrhosis patients, creatine levels decreased to 1.90, and cirrhosis patients also stopped cirrhosis, and seven other gastrointestinal diseases and kidneys. Image training was performed on 3 patients, 5 patients with hypertension, 2 patients with thyroid disease, and 2 patients with headache, thereby achieving an effect of stopping or improving symptoms.

Thus, the present invention is because the wrist pulsation (chon, duct, chuck) is closely related to the movement and function of the actual organs, it is necessary to drive the virtual reality by driving the pulsation to exercise and health the organs through the five visceral muscle biofeedback The device was implemented and various experiments yielded very positive results.
