Description

Biometric information measuring device {BIOMETRIC INFORMATION MEASUREMENT DEVICE}

Various embodiments of the present invention relate to an apparatus for measuring biometric information.

As the standard of living increases and interest in health rises, one of the biggest concerns for people living in society these days is 'living a long and healthy life'. In particular, as the number of cases where a person who was healthy yesterday suddenly suffers from geriatric diseases, heart-related diseases, or brain disease-related diseases is increasing due to changes in diet, lack of exercise, as well as stress, etc. There is a growing awareness of the need for a device that can manage according to the user's physical condition before an abnormality occurs in the user's body or check the user's body change. That is, there is an increasing need for a measurement device that can check the user's own biometric information and can manage the user's own biometric information based on the confirmed biometric information. In addition, such a measuring device has been proposed in the form of a portable bracelet, arm band, chest band, etc. that can be worn on a part of the body so that biometric information can be measured even in normal times. Among them, various types of measuring devices have been proposed for heart rate monitor products. For example, it can be measured using several electrodes and lead wires and an electrocardiogram measuring device connected to them. This may cause an error in electrocardiogram measurement as well as a decrease in adhesion whenever the user moves. In addition, since the electrodes, the lead wires, and the ECG measuring devices must be connected to each other, it is inconvenient for the user to carry the ECG device. It is accompanied by inconvenient measurement when desired.

In addition, it has been proposed to measure the electrocardiogram using a belt worn on the chest. However, in the form of wearing a belt on the user's chest, it inevitably causes inconvenience to the user, such as flowing down during physical activity of the user or feeling stuffy by tightening the chest.

In addition, although portable electrocardiogram patches, which are easier to carry than the above electrocardiogram measuring devices, have been proposed, they are actually thick in size and thickness, so it is inconvenient to wear them on the user's body, and the user's physical activity As a result, the reliability of the adhesive force is inevitably reduced.

In addition, when a user suddenly feels an abnormality in his body and goes to a hospital, there may be no symptoms in the hospital.

Also, conventional devices for measuring bio-information cannot monitor changes in bio-signals according to a user's condition. For example, a user may sense an increase in heart rate or various body changes during exercise. Since conventional measuring devices simply record biometric information, accurate body information of the user cannot be secured. Also, among users who measure biosignals, there are users who need to measure biometric information and the user's status 24 hours a day. For example, since a user with a heart disease cannot know when and when a heart disease will develop, there is a need to measure the change of the biosignal for 24 hours accordingly, and accordingly, the user status information according to the change of the body is provided to a third party. there is a need to inform In addition, in the case of arrhythmia patients, the heart rate and blood pressure, etc. increase while eating.

9 is a diagram illustrating a block diagram of an apparatus 10 for measuring biometric information according to one of various embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9 , as described above, the configuration of the components M1 and M2 of the biometric information measuring component A including the electrodes 131 and 132 or the components M1 and M2 can be viewed. First, an analog front end among components M1 and M2 may be disposed on one surface S1 of the fourth substrate 121d. An analog front end may process the user's ECG signal measured through the electrodes 131 , 132 , and 133 . That is, when a biosignal that is an analog signal is detected through the electrodes 131 , 132 , and 133 , biosignal data of a digital signal converted from the biosignal can be generated.

The analog pre-processing unit may include an analog signal processing unit, an analog/digital conversion unit (A/D conversion unit), a digital signal processing unit, and the like.

The digital signal processing unit performs signal processing on the biosignal data received from the A/D converter through predetermined digital operation processes (eg, fast Fourier transform (FFT) operation, differentiation operation, and average operation).

In the detection sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention, the fourth substrate 121d may be disposed on one surface S1 and may be disposed adjacent to the analog preprocessor. The detection sensor may be provided to detect a user's physical activity or various states. Only one detection sensor may be provided to detect only one user environment, or a plurality of detection sensors may be provided to detect different user environments. When a plurality of detection sensors are provided, different user state information (for example, a biosignal detection value according to exercise, a detection value of an acceleration sensor, and a temperature/humidity sensor detection value), and user state information, for example, heart rate, increased by combining each detection value with each other. A change in heart rate can also be detected.

The detection sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention may be provided as at least one of an acceleration sensor, a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor, and an acoustic detection sensor, or a combination thereof. For example, when an acceleration sensor, specifically, a 3-axis acceleration sensor is provided, the acceleration sensor detects data on the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis of the user's body according to the user's activity state, and the user's posture through the measured detection value For example, sitting, standing, lying, etc.), physical activity such as walking or running, or the number of steps taken, or sudden changes in the body such as fainting, falling, or falling will be able to be measured. Through this measurement data, it will be possible to prevent the onset of diseases related to the user's lifestyle, for example, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, high blood pressure, and hyperlipidemia.

For example, when a temperature sensor is provided, the body temperature of the user or the temperature of the external environment is detected, and the change in body temperature of the user and the external environment in which the user is placed can be measured through the detected value.

In addition, when a humidity sensor is provided, the user's condition or the humidity of the external environment is detected through sweat generated on the user's body, and the user's external environment state, for example, whether exercising or steaming, through the detection value.

In addition, when the sound detection sensor is provided, it is possible to detect a sound generated by the user's body, for example, a sound generated when food is ingested, or a sound generated from the outside. For example, in the case of a diabetic patient, blood sugar is frequently checked, and the blood sugar measured before and after a meal is different. Therefore, when the sound detection sensor is provided, it is possible for diabetic patients to check whether the measured blood sugar level is before or after a meal, rather than simply monitoring the blood sugar level. In addition, in the case of arrhythmia patients, heart rate and blood pressure increase while eating. Accordingly, it is possible to check whether the heart rate or blood pressure of the arrhythmia patient is pre-meal data or post-meal data through the sound detection sensor.

As mentioned above, various detection sensors may be provided. One or a plurality of such detection sensors may be mounted. In addition, when a plurality of detection sensors are provided, the user can combine data according to each detection value as described above. state can be detected. For example, when the acceleration sensor and the temperature/humidity sensor are mounted together, the user's state related to the user's posture or movement can be detected by the acceleration sensor, and the temperature/humidity sensor is the temperature change or sweat generated in the user's body. It is possible to detect changes in humidity, such as temperature and humidity of the external environment. Accordingly, when the user's state, for example, the user exercises, according to the detection values of the acceleration sensor and the temperature and humidity sensors, the acceleration sensor and the temperature and humidity sensor are detected according to the user's body changes, respectively, and changes in biosignals is also detected. As these detection values are combined, it is possible to detect the user state, that is, the change of bio-signals according to the user's exercise, through individually detected data, as well as more accurate data about the user's exercise state. it will be possible

In addition, it is possible to detect a user's state or health state by combining a detection value and a biosignal detection value as well as a combination of detection values of the detection sensors. For example, in the case of arrhythmia patients described above, heart rate and blood pressure increase while eating. If an acoustic detection sensor is provided, the acoustic detection sensor detects the user's food intake sound by the acoustic detection sensor. Accurate data on the user's condition that the reason for the increase in heart rate or blood pressure of an arrhythmia patient is due to a meal can be obtained by combining the measured value and the signal value detected in the absence of biometric information.

By dataizing the user state such as the user's physical activity through the biosignal detection value measured by the biometric information measurement part (A) and the value detected by the detection sensor, the user's state, that is, the biosignal change according to the user's physical activity, is analyzed. it can be done In addition, it is possible to provide a more accurate and suitable health care service to the user by analyzing the biosignal based on the user's state such as the user's physical activity through the detection value of the detection sensor.

Here, 'user state' refers to a meaning including body information such as a user's posture, physical activity information, and external environment information of the user. That is, it may mean to include all of the user's life pattern and living environment.

The storage component may store and manage the biosignal data and user state information data measured through the electrodes 131 , 132 , 133 or the detection component. These storage components may be RAM and/or flash memory.

For example, as shown in FIG. 26 , when the user attaches the biometric information measuring device 10 to the user's chest during sleep and sleeps, the biometric information measuring device 10 determines the user's sleep stage, respiration per minute It is possible to detect a user's state such as biometric information such as number, hand pattern, and sleeping posture, or user physical activity information.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 27 , when the user attaches the biometric information measuring device 10 to the user's chest during exercise and exercising, the biometric information measuring device 10 determines the number of steps, exercise speed, and calories of the user. It is possible to detect various user's biometric information such as information, heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, humidity, etc., or user status such as user's physical activity information.

Hereinafter, user states such as biosignal information and user body environment information detected for each user's situation will be described with reference to FIGS. 28 and 29 as an example.

28 is a diagram illustrating an implementation example for providing a health care service through the biometric information measuring device 10 according to one of various embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 28 , a user can live for 24 hours by attaching the biometric information measuring device 10 . Accordingly, the user's status for 24 hours, for example, the user's biometric information and user status information according to the user's 24-hour life pattern can be detected in real time. That is, the biometric information measuring device 10 falls, faints, or falls over while the user is sleeping, exercising, walking, eating, or living through the biometric information signal and the signal for the user's body environment information. In case of an emergency such as losing, or a condition related to the onset of a disease such as a cold or body aches to the user, or when a user attaching the biometric information measurement device 10 has a chronic disease, the changing state of the living body for 24 hours, etc. will be able to detect it. That is, the biometric information signal detected through the electrodes 131 , 132 , and 133 and the user's body environment information signal detected through the detection sensor may be detected according to each state.

29 is a flowchart illustrating detection of a biosignal and a user state of the biometric information measuring apparatus 10 according to one of various embodiments of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 29 , when the biometric information measuring device 10 is attached to the user's body and the measuring device 100 is driven, electrodes 131 , 132 , 133 provided in the measuring device 100 or the detection sensor The biometric information measuring component A detects a user's biosignal and a user's state such as user's physical activity information (S11 and S21).

That is, biometric information signals such as the user's electrocardiogram are measured through the electrodes (S11).

The measured data is filtered (S12), amplified (S13) and converted by the analog preprocessor (S14), whereby the user's biosignal information can be detected (S15).

In addition, the user's physical activity information is detected through the detection sensor separately from this (S21). The value detected by the detection sensor may be changed into data according to a biometric information signal or user state information (S22). This converted data is more accurate than analyzing the user health state by analyzing the user state information (S23) or combining it with the data value of the biometric information signal (S15) by detecting the bio information signal alone can be detected (S30).

For example, a biosignal measurement value measured while the user is sleeping may be filtered, amplified, and converted by a biometric information measuring component to convert the biosignal information value into data.

Separately, various detection values according to the user's sleep state are detected through an acceleration sensor, an angular velocity sensor, a sound detection sensor, and a temperature/humidity sensor, and the detected value is converted to the user's sleep state, for example, It is dataized on overall user state information such as posture, sleep pattern, sleep stage, sleep position, and sleep state, and this data is combined with a detection value according to biosignal information to provide user state information. In addition, the user state information can be detected as data about the user state information is converted, stored separately, and compared and analyzed with the previously accumulated data through the conversion of the value detected by the detection sensor.

As described above, the detection value detected by the detection sensor can be converted into data, stored and accumulated as user environment information, and thus the user environment information can be more accurately analyzed as compared with data measured in real time. In addition, if the data value detected by the detection sensor is combined with the biosignal information, it will be natural to detect the user's health information more accurately than to analyze the user's health state by detecting the biometric signal alone. .

That is, the biometric information measuring device 10 according to various embodiments of the present disclosure is attached to the user's body so that it is possible to measure biosignals from time to time, and to measure the user's physical activities such as sleep, meal, exercise, and rest. do. In addition, by simultaneously recording and storing the measured bio-signals and the user's physical activity, changes in the bio-signal according to the user's physical activity can be analyzed. In addition, by analyzing biosignals based on the user's physical activity content, it is possible to provide a more accurate and suitable health care service to the user.

30 is a diagram illustrating a configuration in which the biometric information measuring device 10 interworks with an external electronic device 400 in the biometric information measuring device 10 according to one of various embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 31 is a diagram illustrating an example in which electrocardiogram signal information detected by the biometric information measuring apparatus 10 is displayed on the external electronic device 400 according to one of various embodiments of the present disclosure. . 32 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a user stress index is displayed on the external electronic device 400 through signal information detected by the biometric information measuring device 10 according to one of various embodiments of the present disclosure. 33 is a flowchart of a stress analysis method according to one of various embodiments of the present invention.

30 to 33 , when the user attaches the biometric information measuring device 10 to the chest or near the chest, the biometric information measuring device 10 measures, analyzes, or measures the user's biometric information and user environment information. can be saved In addition, it is connected to the biometric information measuring device 10 attached to the user's body through wired/wireless communication to receive the detection data of the biometric information measuring device 10 to analyze, combine, store, or display the user's health information. may include an external electronic device 400 such as a smart phone.

The electronic device 400 may analyze, display, and store data such as the user's biometric information and physical activity information using the health mode, and may receive various health-related services according to user settings (refer to FIG. 9 together). ). The electronic device 400 may receive the bio-signals and user status information transmitted and received from the bio-information measuring device 10, and may provide various health-related services through the health mode.

The health mode may be divided into measurement mode driving (hereinafter referred to as 'measuring mode') and management mode driving (hereinafter referred to as 'management mode') according to the body attachment of the biometric information measuring device 10 . Specifically, when the biometric information measuring device 10 is attached to the body, the measurement mode and the management mode can be driven according to the user's selection, and when the biometric information measuring device 10 is not attached to the body, it is driven in the management mode. will be able to do

In addition, in the health mode, an individual user profile may be created through data measured by the biometric information measuring device 10 . For example, it is possible to create an individual user profile so that the user can be identified based on the electrocardiogram data measured by the biometric information measurement part (A). If a user's individual profile is used, it is possible to enable health management for each user. An example will be described in which two users among a plurality of users use the biometric information measuring component. For example, when the biometric information measuring apparatus 10 is attached to a user 'A', an individual profile of the user 'A' may be generated through the biometric information measured by the user 'A'. In addition, when the biometric information measuring device 10 is attached to the user 'B', the individual profile of the user 'B' may be generated through the biometric information measured by the user 'B'. Later, when the user 'A' combines the biometric information measuring device 10 to the body, the measured real-time biosignal and the stored individual profile are compared to the user 'A' among users 'A' and 'B'. It is detected that it is information and can be executed in the health mode of user 'A'.

For example, when the health mode of user 'A' is executed, the biometric information or user environment information of user 'A' detected from the biometric member (A) or electrodes is based on the measured electrocardiogram and movement. It is possible to determine the user's sleep state, sleep interval, sleep stage, sleep pattern, and the like. In addition, it is possible to detect whether the user eats food through a detection sensor such as an acoustic detection sensor, and the health mode records and manages the user's meal time through the detected value. In contrast, the user's movement can be measured through a detection sensor such as an acceleration sensor, and the user's exercise state and posture can be analyzed through the user's movement data through the health mode. In addition, not only ECG information but also a user's stress index or respiration rate, which will be described later, may be measured through the ECG detection values detected from the electrodes. In addition, it is possible to analyze even health information that the user cannot easily check, such as apnea during sleep, which is not recognized by the user according to the measurement of the respiration rate during sleep. In addition, unlike this, the temperature and humidity of the environment where the user is located can be measured through a detection sensor such as a temperature and humidity sensor, and the temperature and humidity of the environment where the user is located can be analyzed through the health management board and provided with necessary information can The health mode can analyze the health information of the user's heart rate variability, stress index, and sleep stage according to the data measured by the biometric information measuring part (A), and detect and display the user's activity state or the user's external environment state You can do it.

As described above, the health mode may be executed in a measurement mode and a management mode.

In the measurement mode, the user's biometric information and user state data measured by the biometric information measuring device 10 may be transmitted and received, and the biosignal and user state information may be analyzed, displayed, stored, and the like with the electronic device in real time. For example, as shown in FIG. 31 , the detection value measured by the biometric information measuring device 10 is transmitted and received to the electronic device in real time, and as the measurement mode is executed in the electronic device, the user's heart rate is displayed on the display in real time The heart rate may be converted into separate data and stored together with the date and time, and the data data may be analyzed in real time to indicate the user's health status.

For example, as shown in FIG. 31 , the ECG detected by the biometric information measuring device 10 may be displayed as an ECG graph through a health mode, specifically, a measurement mode. In addition, as will be described later, measured data values such as electrocardiogram can be stored, analyzed, and displayed through the management mode as shown in FIG. 32, and can provide various information such as analysis and management tips according to the user's physical condition separately will be.

The management mode analyzes the user's biometric information or user environment information through measured or stored data, detects the user's activity information or pattern through the analyzed data value, and displays it so that the user can understand it. It allows the user to check his/her health-related state or his/her life pattern, and through this, the user may adjust his/her body condition or prepare a health plan. For example, as shown in FIG. 32 , user biometric information data and user environment information data measured by the biometric information measuring device may be stored for each user, by date, and by real time. The user can check or check his or her health state or life pattern at a glance by period, state, or desired health state.

Through the data stored in this way, the user can check his or her health condition or life pattern, and based on this, can use health-related services required by various users.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 32 and 33 , it can be seen that the stress index is measured through the measured user's ECG detection value. The user may execute a health mode connected to the biometric information measuring device in the electronic device 400 . If the biometric information measuring device is mounted on the user's body, real-time user's biometric information and user environment are detected through a detection sensor, and these detection values can be transmitted and received in real time to an electronic device, and these real-time data are It may be stored in addition to the data. The user may select a management mode from among the health management modes, and may select information that the user wants to know in the management mode. As an example, when the user wants to know the stress index, the user can select the stress index detection.

If you choose a stress index, you will need a criterion to analyze the stress index. Accordingly, a criterion related to the stress index is generated through the detected existing data or real-time data (S51). For example, a reference point can be created so that the user's stress index becomes a standard as a 'very low' value through the stored data value measured in the most comfortable state for the user. Accordingly, a plurality of stress indices, for example, five reference points as in an embodiment of the present invention, specifically, reference points such as 'very low', 'low', 'normal', 'high', and 'very high'. that can be created The user may select to detect the stress index by selecting the ECG detection value being measured in real time or data of a required period ( S52 ). The control unit provided to the electronic device 400 may receive the selected data, analyze the data (S53), and display the analyzed data on the screen window (S54). In addition, in order to measure the stress index more accurately, it may be possible to fill out a separate questionnaire first. For example, when measuring the stress index, the user prepares the variable data first by filling out various questions related to the stress index, such as selecting a score for the user's mood or selecting the user's own state as the score. By creating it, it is possible to generate basic information data for determining the stress index. Accordingly, in the management mode being executed by the user, based on the variable data and the electrocardiogram data, they are combined and analyzed, and the user's stress level, the severity of the stress, etc. are analyzed according to the comparison with the reference value. can do. The analyzed stress index is displayed through the display unit of the electronic device so that the user can check his/her stress information. In addition, for this stress index, a method for stabilizing a user's stress later, or separate health information for a user's state for each stress state may be provided.

In the detection step, there are cases where a danger signal is detected in the user's body. That is, when a dangerous situation is detected in the user's body from the detected biometric information and user's ecological information, for example, a sudden risk of the subject's heart stopping suddenly, the user falling over, or falling, such as a stroke. When a situation occurs, detection information for the situation may be detected by the biometric information measuring device. When a dangerous situation is detected in the biometric information measuring device 10, emergency information for this may be transmitted to a set third party (S11). Accordingly, it is possible to take measures according to the emergency so that the user can get out of the emergency in the shortest possible time. For example, if it is set to immediately contact '119' when an emergency occurs in the user's body, when the above-mentioned emergency occurs, '119' may be immediately contacted. In addition, when an emergency situation occurs in the user's body, it may be set to contact the attending physician or a close acquaintance of the user. Accordingly, when the above-mentioned emergency situation occurs, the emergency situation is notified to the attending physician or acquaintance, and it is possible to cope with the emergency situation occurring to the user in the future.

Unlike the above, it is attached to the user and the user's biometric information or user environment information can be set to be shared with a set third party in real time, and data according to the detected detection value is displayed to the user through a device such as a separate electronic device Of course, a third party can check the user's biometric information and user environment information (S12). In addition, when the third party is the user's primary care physician, the third party can check the biometric information and user environment information generated in the general living environment, so that the health status can be checked in real time, and the user's health based on the user's health status status can be checked. In addition, when the user has a chronic disease, for example, an asthma patient with respiratory problems, or a patient who has undergone heart surgery, when the user uses the biometric information measuring device, the attending physician provides real-time health information of the patient. can be checked in real time, and health status can be checked in real time after surgery or according to the patient's condition.
