Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings in order to enable those skilled in the art to easily practice the present invention.

In this specification, “care” should be understood as a concept that includes both medical and non-medical purposes, therapeutic intervention, therapy, etc.

Figure 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a nerve care system utilizing music according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the system 100 according to one embodiment may be configured to include a test result acquisition unit 110, a test result analysis unit 120, and a music provision unit 130.

The test result acquisition unit 110, the test result analysis unit 120, and the music provision unit 130 may be program modules or hardware capable of communicating with an external device. These program modules or hardware may be included in the neural care system 100 or other devices capable of communicating therewith in the form of operating systems, application modules, and other program modules, and may be physically stored on various known storage devices. there is. Meanwhile, such program modules or hardware include, but are not limited to, routines, subroutines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform specific tasks or execute specific abstract data types according to the present invention. Additionally, the nerve care system 100 may be implemented as a server capable of communicating with external devices.

The test result acquisition unit 110 performs a function of obtaining the user's neurological test results.

The nerve test may be, for example, an HRV autonomic nerve test, but is not limited thereto, and a known nerve test method may be used. The results may be obtained from an external neurological testing device through a wired or wireless communication network, or may also be obtained by inputting the test results through an administrator terminal (not shown).

The test result analysis unit 120 analyzes the rate of stimulation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves through the obtained test results, and through this, performs a function of selecting music to be provided to the user.

As a test result, the sympathetic (LF)/parasympathetic (HF) ratio, that is, the relative balance ratio of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, can be obtained. For example, with the above ratio, a test result of 1.9 can be obtained.

The test result analysis unit 120 uses the ratio value to calculate the ratio of music for activating the sympathetic nerve and music for activating the parasympathetic nerve.

Specifically, the ratio of sympathetic nerve activation to the parasympathetic nerve (LF/HF) is equated to the ratio of the time providing music activating the parasympathetic nerve to the time providing music activating the sympathetic nerve.

In the above example, when LF/HF is 1.9, if the time for providing music activating the sympathetic nervous system is 1, the time for providing music activating the parasympathetic nervous system is set to 1.9.

Musical components considered in autonomic functional music may be instruments, beats, speeds, formats, vocal ranges, harmony, melodies, timbres, accents, etc.

Parasympathetic nerve activation music is music applied to patients whose sympathetic nervous system is hyperactive due to high tension and anxiety. The first movement consists of instrumentation in the high frequency range of 1000Hz to 1500Hz, upward melody, and accent changes, so as to respond to the patient's current anxiety state. and music synchronization process. Afterwards, the stabilization of the sympathetic nervous system is induced through the sedation stage. At this time, the frequency range is gradually lowered, and the tempo, accent, melody structure and form are reduced. Changes in the autonomic nervous system can be induced through the synchronization and soothing stages of music.

Sympathetic nerve activation music can be provided to patients with low levels of sympathetic nerve activity, which is responsible for body rhythm and vitality, when depression and lethargy are high. The first movement consists of instrumentation in the 200Hz to 880Hz frequency range, a downward melody, and 55 to 60 bpm, synchronizing with the reduced autonomic nervous system activity. The next movement, the activation stage, induces sympathetic nerve activation through expansion of the frequency range, segmentation of timbre, change of accent, and acceleration of tempo.

In addition, when we cannot predict the rapidly changing environment and constantly try to adapt, our brain becomes stressed and fatigue increases. In order to alleviate this stress and brain fatigue, we use a monotonous musical structure and a predictable repetitive melody flow. We can provide music that has Music in which the melody is harmonious in a harmony environment and free melodic phrasing in a beat environment is harmonious, and as you become more accustomed to a harmonious musical environment, brain fatigue disappears.

The music providing unit 130 uses the results analyzed by the test result analysis unit 120, that is, the ratio of the time providing parasympathetic nerve activating music to the time providing sympathetic nerve activating music, to provide music to the user. It performs the function of selecting and arranging the playback order.

The music provider 120 according to one embodiment alternately provides music activating the sympathetic nerve and music activating the parasympathetic nerve. Providing alternately means that care can be completed by playing one parasympathetic nerve activation music followed by one sympathetic nerve activation music, or parasympathetic nerve activation music - sympathetic nerve activation music - parasympathetic nerve activation music - sympathetic nerve activation music. Neural activation music - … Each piece of music can be provided alternately over multiple times as shown.

In addition, the time for playing one parasympathetic nerve activation music can be set equal to the time for playing one sympathetic nerve activation music multiplied by the LF/HF value.

For example, in the above example (LF/HF=1.9), if music activating one sympathetic nerve continues to be played for 1 minute, then music activating one parasympathetic nerve may be played for 1.9 minutes.

And, in the entire music care time, the ratio of the total cumulative time playing parasympathetic nerve activation music to the total cumulative time playing sympathetic nerve activation music may be equal to the LF/HF value.

Additionally, if the LF/HF value is greater than 1, parasympathetic nerve activation music can be placed at the beginning and end of the entire music care time. Conversely, if the LF/HF value is less than 1, sympathetic nerve activation music can be placed at the beginning and end of the entire music care time. Can be placed at the beginning and end of .

Meanwhile, according to one embodiment, as described above, the frequency range of music activating the parasympathetic nerve gradually decreases as playback continues. For example, the sound range of the first frequency, which is the highest frequency, gradually decreases over time, and even if the time set for one parasympathetic nerve activation music playback time does not expire, if the frequency range falls below the threshold (threshold frequency), You can set it to stop playing music that activates the parasympathetic nervous system and play music that activates the sympathetic nervous system. Even in this case, in the total music care playback time, the ratio of the total time providing parasympathetic nerve activation music to the total time providing sympathetic nerve activation music can be maintained at the LF/HF value. If the LH/HF value is 1.9, and the time it takes for parasympathetic nerve activation music to fall below the threshold frequency is 1.9 minutes, the next sympathetic nerve activation music playing time will be 1 minute. In addition, in the entire music care time, when music is provided in the order of parasympathetic nerve activation music - sympathetic nerve activation music - parasympathetic nerve activation music, after 10 minutes while parasympathetic nerve activation music is being played, the sound range frequency reaches the threshold frequency. If so, you can stop playing music that activates the parasympathetic nervous system, play music that activates the sympathetic nervous system for 10 minutes, and finally play music that activates the parasympathetic nervous system for 9 minutes. As a result, the parasympathetic nerve activation music will be played for a total of 19 minutes, and the sympathetic nerve activation music will be played for a total of 10 minutes, providing parasympathetic nerve activation music for the entire time providing sympathetic nerve activation music. The ratio of the total time is 1.9, which becomes the same as the value of LF/HF.

When parasympathetic nerve activation music is played again after the sympathetic nerve activation music playback time, music whose sound range gradually lowers from the sound range of the first frequency may be provided again.

Therefore, patients who require a lot of parasympathetic nerve activation due to relatively high sympathetic nerve activation, i.e., when the LF/HF value is high, listen to relatively more music higher than the threshold frequency, and thus parasympathetic nerve activation is more efficient. It can be achieved by

Additionally, the threshold may vary depending on the user's LF/HF value. If the LF/HF value exceeds 1 and is less than the first value, the first threshold is used as the threshold, and if the LF/HF value exceeds the first value and is less than the second value, the first threshold is used as the threshold. A second threshold higher than the 1 threshold may be used.

In other words, the higher the LF/HF value, the higher the frequency threshold that serves as a standard for stopping parasympathetic nerve activation music playback.

This is to provide higher frequency parasympathetic nerve activation music more frequently because the higher the LF/HF value, the more parasympathetic nerve activation the patient needs.

According to one embodiment, nerve care for nerve stabilization and balance may be possible by appropriately arranging and playing music activating the parasympathetic nerve and music activating the sympathetic nerve according to the results of the autonomic nerve test.

According to one embodiment, the ratio of playing time of music for parasympathetic nerve activation and music for sympathetic nerve activation is adjusted according to the ratio of sympathetic nerve activation to parasympathetic nerve, so the efficiency of music care for neural balancing can be maximized. .

According to one embodiment, when playing music that activates the parasympathetic nerve with a gradually lower frequency, the music is switched if the frequency falls below the threshold, but the threshold is applied differently depending on the LF/HF value to optimize the condition according to the patient's condition. music care becomes possible.
