Description

[0001] Pose recognition apparatus using smartphone [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an attitude recognition apparatus using a smartphone, and more particularly, to an attitude recognition apparatus using a smart phone for recognizing and alarming the attitude of a user's neck.

BACKGROUND ART [0002] In recent years, with the rapid spread of computers or smart devices, many users often use smart devices for a long time in the same posture or in a crowded posture.

When the device is used for a long time in a specific posture as described above, muscular skeletal diseases such as spine, joints, and neck are generated and become a problem of society.

Especially, when smart devices are used, since the work is highly engaged, the users can not recognize their own posture during the work, and the posture of the crowd is kept and the crowd is recognized after the work is completed. Therefore, It is one of the ways to prevent musculoskeletal diseases by relaxing muscles through stretching after work.

On the other hand, devices for smart devices that change the user's posture even in continuous use have recently been proposed and used.

For example, the mouse pad and the assembly thereof for preventing musculoskeletal disorders disclosed in the Utility Model No. 2011-0004597 can be mentioned. The present invention is based on the idea that when the user uses a mouse, the angle of the wrist can be continuously changed so that the user can maintain the same posture for a long time. .

Also, the registered patent No. 1171466 relates to a method and system for preventing a musculoskeletal disease for a mobile phone user, the mobile phone user accessing a musculoskeletal disease prevention server connected through a wireless communication network and inputting the location and environment information of the user; Selecting a pain site of the user; Selecting a pain scale comprising one to ten steps when the user has a pain site; Displaying a questionnaire on the duration and the treatment of the pain in the user's cellular phone when the user selects 7 to 10 sever pain scale; When the user answers the questionnaire, notifying the management server of the contents of the answer of the user; And a step of directly displaying the pain part stretching exercise information determined according to the selected pain part and pain scale and the position and environment information input by the user on the user's mobile phone. Thereby providing a preventive method.

However, the above-mentioned constitutions provide a countermeasure in the case of a constitution or a pain to prevent musculoskeletal diseases indirectly, and there is a limit to the prevention of musculoskeletal diseases.

FIG. 2 is an external configuration of the sensing unit shown in FIG. 1,
FIG. 3 is a functional configuration diagram of the sensing unit shown in FIG. 1,
FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram of the smartphone shown in FIG. 1,
Fig. 5 is another embodiment of Fig.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the posture recognition apparatus 100 using a smartphone according to the present invention includes a necklace-type sensing unit 10 directly mounted on a user's neck, And a smartphone 80 for receiving an alarm signal and outputting an alarm to the user in an abnormal state.

As shown in FIG. 2, the sensing unit 10 is divided into a case 11 and a connecting cord 12 for connecting the case 11 to the neck.

The case 11 is formed to have a proper size so as to include a plurality of members therein.

The connecting straps 12 may be attached to the case 11 and separated from each other and include a connecting portion 13 to be connected to each other after being worn on the neck. .

An operating switch 14 is attached to the front of the case 11 and is used by the user when setting the initial angle of the user's neck when the sensing unit 10 is first worn on the neck.

Meanwhile, when the sensing unit 10 is attached to the connecting strap 12 with only a proper tension and is worn on the user's neck, the angle change of the wearer's neck is interlocked with the change of the angle of the case 11, The angle can be detected.

3, a gyro sensor 20 for measuring the posture of the neck, a controller 30 for calculating the posture of the neck based on the output of the gyro sensor 20, A memory 40 for storing information output from the controller 30 and dictionary information, a communication module 50 for transmitting information through the controller 30, and a battery (not shown) 60).

The gyro sensor 20 senses the posture of the case 11 and can sense the posture of the case 11 when the sensor is composed of three axes. It can also be configured as six axes.

In this case, the added 3-axis sensor is composed of an acceleration sensor to simultaneously detect posture and movement, thereby realizing a change in posture (angle) of the neck to a high degree.

The communication module 50 is controlled by the control device 30 and the Bluetooth module is preferably used for interlocking the smartphone 80. When the posture of the controller 30 is inappropriate, (50) to the smartphone (80).

The controller 30 operates by the power source of the battery 60 in the configuration for the operation of the sensing unit 10 and the signal processing.

The control device 30 recognizes the angle detected by the gyro sensor 20 as the normal angle of the user's neck when the operation switch 14 is initially turned on and changes the angle to the initial angle of the memory 40 .

In addition, the normal neck angle range in which the user can move without inconvenience around the normal neck angle is pre-stored in the memory 40 as a 'normal range'. The " normal range " is set to a value that has been previously examined in various ways and has been medically verified.

In addition, the control device 30 compares the 'normal range' and the 'initial angle' with the angle of the currently sensed user's neck, and when the angle of the user's neck exceeds the normal range, And sends the alarm through

Further, when the angle of the user's neck sensed at present is small for a predetermined period of time, the control device 30 determines that the angular position of the user's neck is maintained for a long time in the same posture, and sends an alarm through the communication module 50.

4, the smartphone 80 includes a communication unit 81 corresponding to the communication module 50 included in the sensing unit 10, and the sensing unit 10 senses When the alarm is transmitted through the communication module 50, the communication unit 81 receives the alarm.

At this time, when the communication unit 81 receives the alarm, the processing module 82 implemented in the form of an app in the smartphone 80 recognizes the alarm of the communication unit 81 and generates an alarm As shown in FIG.

Also, if necessary, the control module 30 recognizes the type of the alarm when the alarm signal is divided into an alarm based on a false attitude and an alarm related to a long-term same posture, The contents of the corresponding alarm can be outputted together with the sound on the screen of the smartphone 80. [

5, the gyro sensor 20 may be installed inside the separation sensor unit 70 located at the center of the connection cord 12 and separated from the case 10 .

Particularly, since the separation sensor unit 70 is attached to the rear surface of the wearer's neck during installation, it is possible to accurately detect the angle of the user's neck even when the connection cord 12 is long. In order to improve the contact force with the neck, It is preferable to be made of a silicon material.

At this time, a signal of the gyro sensor 20 is input to the control device 30 by inserting a wire into the connection cord 12.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, And all of the various forms of embodiments that can be practiced without departing from the technical spirit.
