In addition, the processor 120 may be implemented in the form of an integrated chip (IC), such as a system on chip (SoC) in which various computing devices are integrated.

According to an embodiment, the processor 120 may calculate the user's inner concentration score based on the user's heart rate or delay time. Hereinafter, the processor 120 may diagnose and train the user's inner concentration through the heart rate. Let me explain the method.

Figure 4 is a schematic flowchart of a method for inner concentration training according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 is an exemplary view of a user interface screen for inner concentration training according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 is the present invention It is a schematic diagram for explaining a method for calculating an inner concentration training score according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the processor 120 of the inner concentration training apparatus 100 may provide a self-measurement target value for the user's heart rate ( S110 ). The processor 120 may check whether the user has a history of calculating the inner concentration score, and may provide different self-measured target values depending on whether the user has checked or not.

For example, when there is no history of calculating the inner concentration score of the user, the processor 120 may receive a selection of difficulty from the user. Here, the difficulty level may mean the size of the self-measurement target value, and may further include whether or not a stimulus that interferes with the user's concentration is provided and the intensity of the stimulus while the user is counting his or her heart rate.

As another example, if there is a history in which the user calculates the inner concentration score, the processor 120 may provide self-measurement target values of different sizes based on the user's inner concentration score. To this end, the processor 120 receives from the manager setting information of the self-measurement target value for each score (eg, 0 to 30 points > self-measured target value (heart rate) 20 times, 31 points to 50 points > self-measured target value (heart rate) ) 35 times, etc.) can be input.

However, in response to a user's request, the processor 120 may select a difficulty level from the user and provide a self-measurement target value corresponding thereto, even if the user has a history of calculating the inner concentration score.

After step S110 , the processor 120 may measure the heart rate through the user in response to the measurement start signal ( S120 ). For example, the processor 120 may provide a start icon 51 through the touch screen 143 as shown in (a) of FIG. 5, and when the user selects (touches) it, it It can be regarded as a “measurement start signal”.

The user counts the heart rate until the self-measurement target value is reached according to the measurement start signal, and the processor 120 is connected to the user through the biometric data sensing device 200 or other sensor 163 capable of sensing the heart rate. You can measure your heart rate.

While measuring the heart rate, the processor 120 may obtain a measurement end signal and obtain the user's actual heart rate ( S130 ). For example, the processor may provide an end icon 52 through the touch screen 143 as shown in FIG. signal” can be considered.

After step S130, the processor 120 may calculate the user's inner concentration score according to the comparison result between the actual heart rate and the self-measured target value (S140), and the touch screen 143 as shown in FIG. 5(c). Through this, it is possible to provide the user's actual heart rate based on the self-measurement target value and the inner concentration score calculated based on the user's actual heart rate.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the user may input ① the measurement end signal at an earlier time based on the self-measurement target value (eg, 30 times) or input ② the measurement end signal at a later time, and the processor 120 ) can calculate the inner concentration score using the actual heart rate (eg, 28 times, 32.n times (n is 0 or a positive integer)) at the time when the measurement end signal is input. That is, the processor 120 may calculate the concentration score based on the difference value between the actual heart rate and the self-measurement target value, and the difference value may be changed to an absolute value during the calculation process.

However, the time point at which the measurement end signal is input may not exactly match the end point of the pattern of the actual ECG signal, and the processor 120 performs the actual measurement at the time point when the end of the measurement is input through the pattern of the ECG signal for accurate score calculation. Heart rate magnitude can be determined more accurately.

7 is a schematic diagram for explaining a method for acquiring an actual heart rate in the process of calculating an inner concentration score according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7 , the processor 120 may acquire an ECG signal through the user, identify one cycle having the same phase in the ECG signal pattern, and determine the time point at which the measurement end signal is input based on one cycle It can be corrected in decimal units. That is, the processor 120 may obtain the actual heart rate in decimal units such as '32.4 beats'.

In addition, as the self-measurement target value increases, the error between the heart rate measured by the user and the actual heart rate may increase, and the processor 120 may correct the inner concentration score based on the measurement time of the actual heart rate. In detail, the processor 120 may determine an average time taken for one heartbeat through the electrocardiogram signal, and obtain a measurement time of the heart rate corresponding to the self-measurement target value. For example, when the average time of one heartbeat is 0.7s and the self-measurement target value is 30, the processor 120 may obtain the heart rate measurement time 21s corresponding to the self-measurement target value. The processor 120 compares the obtained measurement time with the (measurement start signal ~ measurement end signal) time difference, and when the comparison result is issued, reflects it in the concentration score, so that a high reliability score can be obtained.

Also, the processor 120 may check a phase in the pattern of the electrocardiogram signal, and may compare the phase corresponding to the self-measurement target value and the phase of the actual heart rate. The processor 120 may correct the previously calculated inner concentration score based on the two phase differences. For example, when two phases are the same, the processor 120 may give an added point to the calculated score.

According to an embodiment, the processor 120 may increase the difficulty level and train the user's inner concentration by providing a progressively larger self-measurement target value. In addition, the processor 120 may provide various types of disturbing stimuli to the user as training aids or interruptions for improving inner concentration.

8 is a schematic diagram for explaining a method of providing a stimulus in the inner concentration training method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8 , the processor 120 may generate a stimulus indicating a heartbeat in response to the measurement start signal in step S120 , and provide it as a training auxiliary stimulus or an interfering stimulus for improving inner concentration. Specifically, the processor 120 provides the images 81 and 82 expressing the heart as in (a) and (b) through the touch screen 143 as a stimulus, or other sensors 163 or speakers 191 A sound or vibration 83 corresponding to the heartbeat may be provided as a stimulus through the . In other words, the processor 120 may use at least one of an image, sound, and vibration to provide a stimulus to a user who is self-measuring the heart rate.

The processor 120 may change and provide a stimulus property of at least one of a size, shape, pattern, and output time of at least one of image, sound, and vibration according to difficulty. That is, even in the image expressing the heart, by reducing the change in the size of the image representing the heartbeat like the heart image 81 shown in (a), the difficulty of measuring/training the inner concentration can be lowered, as shown in (b) By increasing the size change of the image representing the heartbeat, such as the heart image 82 , it is possible to increase the difficulty of inner concentration measurement/training. In addition, the processor 120 may provide various types of stimuli for each difficulty, such as increasing the intensity of vibration or increasing the sound.

In addition, the processor 120 may use the self-measured target value or the actual heart rate to change the stimulus attribute. For example, when the self-measurement target value for the heart rate is 30 times, the processor 120 provides a visual stimulus for the user to change the size and shape of the image representing the heart 25/35 times (±5 times). can provide For another example, the processor 120 provides audiovisual and tactile stimulation of ±1 sec based on the actual heart rate cycle while measuring the user's actual heart rate through the sensing device 200 or other sensor 163, or It can provide audiovisual and tactile stimulation ±3 times based on heart rate. Here, the range of stimulation based on the self-measurement target value or the actual heart rate may be different depending on the user's inner concentration score or the difficulty level set by the user.

In this way, the processor 120 may induce the user to count the heart rate close to the self-measurement target value by providing the audiovisual and tactile stimulation.

After calculating the user's inner concentration score through steps S110 to S140, the processor 120 provides different stimuli to the user in response to the measurement start signal of the next round depending on whether the calculated inner concentration score meets the reference score can provide If the internal concentration scorer criterion score is satisfied, the processor 120 may increase the self-measurement target value and at the same time increase the difficulty of the disturbing stimulus to be provided to the user, and conversely, the internal concentration score may not satisfy the criterion score In this case, it is possible to lower the self-measurement target value and provide a stimulus synchronized with the actual heart rate, not the disturbing stimulus, for a preset time.

According to an embodiment, the processor 120 may reflect the current state of the user or the environmental state in which the user is currently located in the inner concentration score, and through this, the inner concentration score may be corrected based on objective data.

9 and 10 are exemplary views of a user interface screen for connection with a sensing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9A , the processor 120 includes a current state of the user through the touch screen 143 , that is, other sensors 163 or biometric data sensing device 200 that can measure the user's heart rate. For connection with the user interface, the following user interface screen may be provided. When the connection with the ① heart rate sensor, ② oxygen saturation sensor, and ③ Actography sensor is completed, the processor 120 may provide a check mark [V] informing that the sensor is connected.

Referring to FIG. 9B , the processor 120 is a motion sensor 160 capable of measuring the user's movement through the touch screen 143 based on the user's current state, that is, the user's posture before measurement. ) or the motion data sensing device 300 (hereinafter, referred to as the motion sensor 300), the following user interface screen may be provided. If the motion sensor 300 is used, the processor 120 may receive confirmation from the user at which point the motion sensor 300 is mounted on the user's finger, wrist, ankle, head, and the like.

Referring to (a) of FIG. 10 , the processor 120 includes a lighting sensor 161, other sensors 163, or an environment data sensing device capable of measuring the environment state where the user is currently located through the touch screen 143 ( 400), the following user interface screen may be provided.

When the connection with various sensing devices capable of calculating the inner concentration score is completed, the processor 120 comprehensively provides information 91 on the user's current state on the touch screen 143 as shown in FIG. can do.

In response to the measurement start signal in step S120, the processor 120, which is connected to the sensing device, detects the user's movement, and corrects the inner concentration score based on the detected movement. Specifically, the processor 120 may acquire motion data for one area of the user's body over time based on at least one of the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis, and the motion data over time based on each axis can be found the average value of Here, the average value may be obtained based on the absolute value.

If the acquired movement data (average value of the data) is greater than or equal to a preset value, it is determined that the heart rate cannot be constantly obtained due to the user's movement, and the heart rate acquired in the corresponding time period may be excluded from the actual heart rate. there is. For example, if the time for which the movement data on the x-axis is equal to or greater than the preset value is 3 seconds before receiving the measurement end signal from the user, the processor 120 may exclude the measured heart rate from the concentration score calculation if the heart rate is measured for 3 seconds. . In addition, the processor 120 may check the number of time sections in which the movement data is equal to or greater than a preset value, and may correct the inner concentration score using the time and number of times.

In addition, the processor 120 may capture an image of the user through the camera subsystem 170 rather than the motion sensor 300 , and may obtain two-dimensional motion data, and the user's body based on the X-axis or the Y-axis Motion data for one region may be acquired.

In addition, the processor 120 checks the arrangement position (eg, wrist, finger, leg) of the device (motion sensor 300 ) for detecting the user's movement, and according to the confirmed position, the movement to be reflected in the inner concentration score You can adjust the correction rate of the data. That is, even if the movement data of the same size is the data obtained from the motion sensor 300 disposed on the wrist rather than the finger, the processor 120 determines that the user has moved in a large width, and the movement data from the inner concentration score It can be deducted as much as a proportion proportional to .

In response to the measurement start signal in step S120, the processor 120, which is connected to the sensing device, obtains environmental data about the environment around the user, and may correct the inner concentration score based on the obtained environment data. Specifically, when the environmental data is out of a preset range, the processor 120 may correct the concentration score based on the over/under value or the over/under time. Here, the sensing data for the surrounding environment may be sensing data for at least one of surrounding noise, illuminance, and temperature, and the processor 120 determines whether the noise exceeds the reference value or the temperature falls below the reference value. You can subtract or add or subtract a percentage proportional to the environmental data from the inner concentration score.

The processor 120 may perform the inner concentration calculation process once through steps S110 to S140 , and then calculate the inner concentration score a plurality of times while gradually increasing the self-measurement target value.

11 is an exemplary diagram of a user interface screen showing an inner concentration score result according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 11 , the processor 120 may provide the user's heart concentration score and score change graph 101 based on time or date through the touch screen 143 .

According to an embodiment, the processor 120 may check or receive the user's emotional state, treatment, medication, etc. before calculating the inner concentration concentration score, or receive an input, and the calculation of the inner concentration concentration score and training based thereon Through this, it is possible to check how much the user's concentration and movement inhibition have improved.

Referring to FIG. 12 , the processor 120 may provide the user's self-measured target value for the delay time ( S210 ). Similarly to the heart rate, the processor 120 may determine whether the user has a history of calculating the inner concentration score, and may provide a different self-measurement target value depending on whether the user has checked or not.

For example, when there is no history of calculating the inner concentration score of the user, the processor 120 may receive a selection of difficulty from the user. Here, the difficulty may mean the size of the self-measurement target value, and it may be understood that the difficulty increases as time increases.

As another example, if there is a history in which the user calculates the inner concentration score, the processor 120 may provide self-measurement target values of different sizes based on the user's inner concentration score. To this end, the processor 120 receives from the manager setting information of the self-measurement target value for each score (eg, 0 to 30 points > self-measured target value (heart rate) 20 times, 31 points to 50 points > self-measured target value (heart rate) ) 35 times, etc.) can be input.

After step S210, the processor 120 may sequentially obtain a measurement start signal and a measurement end signal (S220). For example, the processor 120 may provide a start icon 131 and an end icon 132 through the touch screen 143 as shown in FIGS. 13 (a) and (b), and the user When this is selected (touched), it can be regarded as a “measurement start signal” and “measurement end signal”.

The user counts the time until reaching the self-measurement target value according to the measurement start signal, and the processor 120 may calculate the time difference between the two acquired signals after obtaining the measurement end signal (S230) .

After step S230, the processor 120 may calculate the user's inner concentration score according to the comparison result between the calculated time difference and the self-measured target value (S240).

Referring to FIG. 15 , the user may input a measurement end signal at an earlier point in time based on the self-measurement target value (eg, 30 seconds) or input a measurement end signal at a later point in time, and the processor 120 ) can calculate the inner concentration score using the actual time (eg, 26 seconds, 33 seconds) at the time when the measurement end signal is input. That is, the processor 120 may calculate the concentration score based on the difference value between the actual time and the target time, and the difference value may be changed to an absolute value during the calculation process.

Referring to (a) of FIG. 14 , the processor 120 may provide the user with an inner concentration score calculated based on the time the user has counted by himself/herself. In addition, the processor 120 may perform the inner concentration calculation process once through steps S210 to S240, and then calculate the inner concentration score multiple times while adjusting the self-measured target value, as shown in FIG. 14(b) . Finally, the calculated inner concentration score can be provided.

On the other hand, in the calculation and training of the inner concentration score through the delay time, a stimulus indicating the heartbeat is provided in the same way as the heart rate, and the inner concentration score may be corrected according to the user's movement and surrounding environment. However, since the process of providing the stimulus and the method of correcting the score are the same as in the heart rate embodiment described above, the description will be omitted.
