The present invention relates to a smart cushion device and a method of driving the device, and more particularly, a smart cushion device for relieving blood pressure reduction and stress caused by breathing induction using a breathing-inducing smart cushion in the form of a back cushion and driving the device it's about how

In general, methods for reducing blood pressure include drug therapy, diet, and exercise therapy, but the method of inducing blood pressure reduction through breathing control is also known to be clinically effective and without side effects. For this reason, there are many products and services that train breathing on their own. A product that uses a typical biofeedback technology is a product that wears a band-type device to watch the instructions on the monitor screen or trains breathing according to the sound of earphones.

However, these conventional products are inconvenient because the user is artificially constrained to the device to perform a breathing act, it is difficult to wear for a long time, and there is a limitation in that the user cannot breathe comfortably because the breathing point is not accurately induced to the human body.

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

1 is a view showing a breathing induction system according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2a is an example of a pneumatic method and a mechanical product of the smart cushion device shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 2b is a blood pressure reduction and stress caused by breathing induction It is a diagram for explaining a mitigation technique.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the breathing guidance system 90 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes some or all of the smart cushion device 100 and the user terminal device 110 .

Here, "including some or all" means that some components such as the user terminal device 110 are omitted so that the smart cushion device 100 operates in a stand-alone form, or the user terminal device 110 As meaning that some or all of the components may be configured to be integrated into the smart cushion device 100, and the like, it will be described as including all to help a sufficient understanding of the invention.

The smart cushion device 100 is a breathing induction system device for reducing blood pressure and relieving stress. When the user sits on the back or waist after sitting on a chair or sofa, etc., as in FIG. 1, the breathing induction smart cushion or the breathing induction device of the smart cushion device 100 is set in the user terminal device 110 such as a smart phone, for example. Make it possible to induce stable breathing through a breathing induction training program. For this purpose, for example, an air cuff is mounted in the cushion, and the user can easily train inhalation and exhalation when the air cuff is inflated and deflated through an air pump.

The smart cushion device 100 includes a breathing-inducing smart cushion in the form of a back cushion, not a restraint accessory device, in order to reduce blood pressure and relieve stress. An air cuff is installed inside the smart cushion to simulate natural breathing through cuff inflation and contraction. In addition, the smart cushion device 100 adds a massage function to self-training as well as a muscle relaxation effect to induce easier breathing and activate parasympathetic nerves to help relieve stress.

The smart cushion device 100 is in a form in which it is easy to sit with the smart cushion on its back, and there is a device for inducing breathing inside, which is a pneumatic method using an air cuff (see (a) of FIG. 2a) or breathing as in FIG. 2a. A mechanical device via an induction pad (see Fig. 2a (b)) is also possible. Here, the mechanical type may mean, for example, operating the breathing induction pad by the shaft of a motor in a manner using a machine. The smart cushion device 100 may include a control unit for controlling the air cuff or the breathing induction pad and a wireless communication unit for controlling the user terminal device 110 such as a smart phone.

2B shows an operation of reducing blood pressure and relieving stress by inducing breathing using the smart cushion device 100 . Figure 2b (a) shows an inhalation, and Figure 2b (b) shows an exhalation motion, respectively. In the inhalation operation, the smart cushion device 100, for example, the air cuff, rises, that is, expands to the extent that it slightly raises the waist (see ①). It induces abdominal distension to make breathing easier. Inhale while increasing the height of the smart cushion device 100 by inflation (see ②). In addition, the cushion of the inflated unit, that is, the smart cushion device 100, is released to lower the waist (see ③). This leads to comfortable exhalation. Exhale by lowering the height of the inflated cushion (see ④). The breathing induction method using the smart cushion device 100 is not limited, such as an air cuff or mechanical type. Breath guidance technology simulates and induces body movements induced during inhalation and exhalation, making training easier. In an embodiment of the present invention, it can be seen that the smart cushion device 100 forms a first state in the user's inhalation, and forms a second state in a state different from the first state in the user's exhalation. For example, in the case of the air cuff, it expands as a first state during inhalation and contracts as a second state during exhalation. However, since the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the expansion and contraction of the air cuff, it will not be particularly limited to any one shape.

In addition, the smart cushion device 100 does not operate in connection with the user terminal device 110 of FIG. 1 , and may operate in a standalone form. A function button may be exposed to the outside on one side, and the user may operate the smart cushion device 100 by selecting the corresponding button, and control of various operations such as a breathing induction operation or a massage operation may be possible.

The user terminal device 110 may include a smart phone, etc., and may include a wearable device worn on the user's wrist, and a dedicated terminal (eg, remote control, etc.) specially manufactured for the embodiment of the present invention. Of course, a smartphone may be preferable in an embodiment of the present invention. The smart phone may be able to easily control the smart cushion device 100 by simply installing an application (hereinafter, an app), and it may be easy to work even when a function is updated.

The user terminal device 110 may be capable of controlling various operations of the smart cushion device 100, but typically a breathing induction button (or a first function button) and a massage function button (or a second function button) are displayed on the screen. can be Therefore, when the user selects the breathing induction button, the corresponding control signal is transmitted to the smart cushion device 100, the operation of the smart cushion device 100 can be made by the communication unit and the control unit inside. In addition, a similar operation may be performed even when the massage function button is selected.

Above all, the user terminal device 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention may perform an operation for determining the breathing cycle because the breathing cycle of inhalation and exhalation may be different for each user. To this end, the smart cushion device 100 may further include a sensor (eg, a pressure sensor) for detecting a breathing cycle, and the user terminal device 110 detects a different breathing cycle for each user based on the sensing data of the sensor. can judge Through this, the user terminal device 110 may set time interval information or change preset information. According to this time interval information, for example, the air cuff rises and falls, or expands and contracts. In other words, the user terminal device 110 performs an operation matching each control signal when the breathing induction button or the massage function button is selected, for example, in this process, the user's body movement is simulated, i.e., measured to match the movement. The measured value may be reflected to control the smart cushion device 100 to operate. Accordingly, the smart cushion device 100 may induce breathing while increasing or decreasing the pressure of the air pump. A pressure sensor may be used to measure the pressure when the air pump is operating. That is, the pressure sensor may be used to determine at least one of a breathing cycle and an operating state of the air pump.

On the other hand, the respiratory induction system 90 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include another device for determining whether the inhalation and exhalation are properly resting. Although it has been exemplified by using a pressure sensor or the like, it is possible to measure the amount of respiration so that inhalation and exhalation are precisely adjusted. Of course, this may not be possible without actually wearing a mask. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, in order to indirectly control the amount of respiration, first, a belt and a wind speedometer may be used. First, by using a belt that wraps around the abdomen, the degree of expansion and contraction of the abdomen is checked to check the minimum amount of breathing to obtain the effect of inhalation and exhalation for stress relief. Induce abdominal expansion by inducing abdominal expansion to make breathing easier, and if the contraction of the exhalation belt is small, make the air cuff more contracted to facilitate exhalation. That is, the expansion and contraction of the air cuff may be interlocked so that inhalation and exhalation are well induced according to the degree of inflation. The belt according to an embodiment of the present invention is a device directly connected to the control unit.

Second, a device that can measure the wind direction as a speed is connected to the smartphone as a storage medium (eg USB), placed in the mouth, and induces inhalation and exhalation. Then, the rate of inhalation and exhalation can be measured, so the inflation rate of the air cuff is adjusted according to the respiration rate. That is, there is an effect that the speed of the air cuff can be decreased or, conversely, the speed of the air cuff can be increased when the inhalation and exhalation are fast by checking the inhalation and exhalation rates received by the smartphone. In addition, if necessary, if the user wants to proceed with breathing in various modes, various modes such as slow or fast/constant speed may be provided.

3 is an exploded perspective view of the pneumatic type smart cushion device shown in (a) of FIG. 2A.

As shown in Figure 3, the pneumatic smart cushion device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a fabric fabric 300, a sponge 310, an air tube 320, an air pump and a battery PCB board ( 330) and a part or all of the cushion base cover 340, where "includes part or all" is not significantly different from the meaning above.

The sponge 310 uses a breathable and cushiony sponge, and the air tube 320 is a tube in which air is expanded to induce breathing. In addition, the air pump constituting the air pump and the battery PCB board 330 is a pump for expanding the air. The air pump can be operated by the control unit such as the CPU or MPU of the PCB board. Also, the battery is a rechargeable battery for supplying power. The PCB can be equipped with a Bluetooth module and a control unit.

Here, the PCB is a control device or a driving device constituting the smart cushion device 100 of FIG. 3 , and the rest, more precisely, the air tube 320 , etc. are called an air device or a breathing induction device in an embodiment of the present invention. can be For example, when the breathing induction button is selected from the user terminal device 110 of FIG. 1 and a corresponding control signal is received, the control unit receives the corresponding control signal through the Bluetooth communication module, and based on the received control signal The expansion and contraction of the air tube (or air cuff) 320 may be controlled by operating the air pump in a preset manner.

Of course, in relation to the expansion and contraction of the air tube 320, it may be preset in a program mounted in a memory or the like in the control unit. However, as mentioned above, when the respiration cycle is determined for each user in the user terminal device 110 of FIG. 1 , the corresponding information is transmitted when the control signal is transmitted, so that the operation can be performed accordingly. For example, in order to determine the user's breathing cycle, the smart cushion device 100 may use sensing data sensed through a pressure sensor or the like at an initial stage of operation. For example, when the user breathes in and out while maintaining the degree of inflation of the smart cushion device 100 constant, the user's breathing cycle may be determined based on the pressure at that time. The analysis of the breathing cycle is not limited to any one form in the embodiment of the present invention, since it is possible to determine by itself in the smart cushion device 100 rather than the user terminal device 110 .

Typically, the high-density sponge 410 is a sponge with breathability and cushioning, and the upper and lower plates of the pressure pad are mechanically moving upper plates to induce breathing. The dual shaft motor 430 is a motor that controls the support pad 420 to move up and down (or in the first direction and the second direction, in the first state and in the second state) to induce breathing. The battery is a rechargeable battery for power supply, and the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is equipped with a Bluetooth module and a control unit. 5 shows the appearance and operation principle (or assembly process) in various directions, such as the lower surface of the support pad 420 of FIG. 4 .

For example, when the user selects the breathing induction button in the user terminal device 110 as shown in FIG. 1 , the corresponding control signal is transmitted to the control unit through the communication module of the PCB, and the control unit uses the dual shaft motor based on the signal By controlling the 420 and operating the support pad 420 up and down accordingly, a breathing induction operation can be made. The support pad 420 may be connected to the shaft of the dual shaft motor 420, and thus a breathing induction operation is performed by controlling the motor 420 based on preset data. Of course, even in the case of a massage operation, when a corresponding signal is received, the massage operation may be performed by controlling the motor 420 based on preset information.

Except for the above, various other components correspond to accessories for configuring the smart cushion device 100 ′ of FIG. 4 , which is obvious to those skilled in the art, and thus further description will be omitted. In other words, a high-density sponge 410 is configured on one side of the fabric sheet 400, and between the high-density sponge 410 and the rear base 440 is largely a support pad 420, (M8) dual shaft motor 430 ) and the PCB battery assembly 441 are configured, and various accessories such as other hinges, screws, and nuts may be fastened. In particular, the PCB battery assembly 441 may be fastened to one side of the rear base 440 , the dual shaft motor 430 may be respectively fastened, and the motor cover 429 covering the dual shaft motor 430 may also be fastened. have. In addition, the support pad 420 may be configured to cover the dual shaft motor 430 and the PCB battery assembly 441 from the upper side. Since various types of configuration and fastening are possible, the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited to any one shape.
