The second measurement unit 150 is inserted into the center of the spectacle frame and may include an infrared sensor. The second measuring unit 150 may measure the body temperature of the user through the infrared sensor and transmit the measurement data to the controller 115.

The notification unit 170 delivers a notification to the user. When there is a matching user in the couples matching function, the glasses 100 receive the couples matching notification message from the server 200, It can also serve to convey notifications. The notification unit 170 may include a speaker, a vibration motor, or the like, and may transmit a notification to the user in an audible or tactile manner.

When the glasses 100 are manufactured in the form of smart glasses or goggles, the glasses 100 receive the exercise alert message from the server 200, and the alert unit 170 can transmit the exercise alert to the user. For example, the exercise alert may be sent to the notification unit 170 when the user's exercise amount does not match the recommended recommended exercise amount or when the user's exercise amount exceeds the recommended recommended exercise amount.

When the glasses 100 are manufactured in the form of a protective eyewear, the glasses 100 receive an emergency notification message from the server 200 when the status of the user is 'poor' or 'very bad' 170 may forward the notification to the user. At this time, the emergency notification by the emergency notification message, the exercise notification by the exercise notification message, and the couples matching notification by the couples matching notification message can be distinguished from each other. For example, if the couples matching notification is to cause a vibration to occur once, the exercise alert may cause the vibration to occur twice, and the emergency alert may generate the vibration three times.

The notification unit 170 may be inserted into the other end of the spectacle frame where the module unit 110 is not inserted. Like the module 110, the annunciator 170 is not limited to the one end of the spectacle frame but may be inserted at various positions such as the center of the spectacle frame and the spectacle frame, As shown in FIG.

Specifically, when the biometric signal data received from the glasses 100 is included in a certain range of the user reference value information stored in the server 200, the server 200 stores the status of the user in the predetermined terminal held by the guardian or medical staff If the biometric signal is out of a certain range of the reference value information of the user stored in the server 200, the server 200 determines that the user is in an emergency situation It is possible to transmit an emergency message to a predetermined terminal.

The server 200 may transmit a request message to transmit the biometric signal to the glasses 100. [ Specifically, when the server 200 fails to receive a biological signal from the glasses 100 for a predetermined period of time after receiving the operation start message, the server 200 transmits a request message to transmit the biological signal to the glasses 100 If the server 200 does not receive a biological signal from the glasses 100 after a predetermined time has elapsed since the server 200 transmitted the request message to the glasses 100, It is possible to transmit a failure message to a predetermined terminal.

The server 200 can perform couples matching function by analyzing personal information such as the user's residence, age, sex, and spouse, through the identification means information received from the glasses 100. Specifically, the server 200 analyzes the personal information of the user, and when the two users who can perform matching are searched, the server 200 can transmit the notification to the notification unit 170 to the users. The user can inform the guardian or the medical staff of his / her opinion if he / she is interested in couple matching. The monitoring system of the embodiment of the present invention may be configured such that the server 200 notifies the glasses 100 of the couples matching function by using a character or a telephone to inform the guardian or the medical staff of the user's intention. Only the role of transmitting can be performed.

On the other hand, when the glasses 100 are manufactured in the form of smart glasses or goggles for confirming the momentum of the people who exercise the glasses 100, the server 200 analyzes the bio-signals received from the glasses 100 to calculate the momentum, (Big data) format. The stored momentum data of the user may be used to calculate the average momentum of the user for a specific period of time, to compare the user's momentum with the average recommended momentum, or to compare the momentum of the user's week, The server 200 may transmit the exercise alert message to the communication unit 113. [

In the case where the glasses 100 are manufactured in the form of protective glasses for confirming the status of users working in the industrial field, the server 200 analyzes the biological signals received from the glasses 100, Good ',' good ',' normal ',' bad ',' very bad ', and such data can be stored in the form of big data. If the health state is 'poor' or 'very bad', the server 200 may transmit the emergency state notification message to the communication unit 113, Can be transmitted. Therefore, the user can grasp his / her health condition in real time, and can prevent injurious accidents in advance.

4A and 4B are views for explaining a method of operating the bio-signal monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the glasses 100 can be operated when the user folds the glasses 100 in a folded state. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the user puts the glasses 100 left unfolded, the glasses 100 can be operated when the user wears the glasses 100. Specifically, the eyeglasses 100 may include an operation unit 130 including at least one of a motion detection sensor and a biometric sensor, as described above. Therefore, the glasses 100 can be operated by the motion detection sensor that detects when the user 100 is folded in the folded state.
