Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting a user's foot,

The present invention relates to a system for confirming the position and removal of an acupuncture needle. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system for capturing an image of a procedure area and tracking a footstep through image analysis, thereby preventing a problem caused by incomplete footsteps And more particularly,

In general, Oriental Medicine, which is called Oriental Medicine, is a medicine that has been handed down over thousands of years but has not been able to benefit from science relatively as compared with Western medicine.

Oriental medicine treatment in Oriental medicine, the oriental doctor through the photographic method to determine the status of the patient is doing acupuncture or moxibustion. The photographic method is to grasp the state of the patient by watching, listening to, asking, and tapping.

Such acupuncture or moxibustion is being performed for the purpose of treatment and for the purpose of maintenance according to the health condition of the patient.

In order to further scientificize the herbal medicine treatment, various researches have been conducted. As a method of the above-mentioned herbal treatment science, methods such as skin impedance measurement, pulse wave measurement and skin temperature measurement are applied to the diagnosis method.

In addition, bedding, moxibustion and hot water medicine are used as the above-mentioned medical treatment methods of oriental medicine, and bedding or moxibustion is used as one of the skin stimulation methods for treating diseases by operating various stimulation methods on certain parts of the body surface In recent years, a variety of new therapies have been developed and used in clinical trials in addition to traditional stimulation methods.

However, in the case of acupuncture or moxibustion, it is a fact that various problems arise due to the method of stimulating the patient directly by touching the body surface.

Among them, in the case of acupuncture, not only the acupuncture size is small, but also a large number of acupuncture points are often settled immediately for treatment, so medical accidents are often occurred because the acupuncture is not completely performed during acupuncture. These medical accidents are one of the medical accidents that anyone in the oriental hospital can agree with.

In this way, all of the needles stuck to the body of the patient after being soaked in the body by the treatment means are not recovered during the footsteps but left in the patient's body, This can threaten the patient's life. In addition, this causes a large civil lawsuit, which causes the medical institutions to incur damages.

Therefore, it is required to provide a device that can effectively prevent the occurrence of such medical accidents.

In order to solve the problem of the conventional acupuncture sample, the present invention provides a method of detecting an acupuncture sample by capturing an image of a procedure area to check the position and removal of the acupuncture needle, The present invention provides a foot-tracking system using an image so as to prevent a problem.

12 shows a detailed configuration of the first and second side photographing / sensing units 82 and 83, wherein the camera module and the sensing module are configured in one upper photographing unit.

Although the module array is arranged in the order of the detection module 1, the camera module, and the detection module 2, it is natural that it can be configured by applying other types and numbers of modules.

Although the first and second side photographing / sensing portions 82 and 83 are shown only on one side of the main body 85, the first and second side photographing / sensing portions 82 and 83 may be provided on the other side of the main body 85 It is natural that it can be constituted.

It is needless to say that the number of side photographing portions may be larger than the first side photographing / sensing portion 82 and the second side photographing / sensing portion 83 which are separated from each other.

13 shows that the tracking result display unit 84 is further provided with a photographing unit and a sensing unit. The tracking result display unit 84 is fixed to the main body corresponding to the head of the patient. The tracking result display unit 84 ) Is further provided with a photographing means for photographing the body surface of the head of the patient and an hourly needle, and a sensing means for sensing the needle.

Likewise, although the module array is arranged in the order of the detection module 1, the camera module, and the detection module 2, it is obvious that other modules and the number of modules can be applied.

It is a matter of course that the sensing module may be constituted by modules of different sensing methods or by a sensing module of the same sensing method.

14 shows the configuration of the tracking result display unit 84. The tracking result display unit 84 includes analysis means and analysis means for analyzing the image captured by the photographing means and the sensed result by the sensing means, And a monitor for displaying an hour hand position and a result of confirming whether or not to perform a stroke, based on the result analyzed by the means.
