일반적으로, 신장에서 90을 뺀 수를 표준체중으로 설정하여 비만 여부를 알아보는 방법이 널리 사용되어 왔으나, 이 측정값은 개인별로 오차가 너무 심한 문제점이 존재하여 다양한 체성분 측정법이 개발되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 체성분 측정방법으로는 수중 체중법, 스킨 홀드법, 중수희석법, 초음파를 이용하는 방법 그리고 생체전기 임피던스 분석법 등이 알려져 있다.In general, a method of determining obesity by setting the weight minus 90 as the standard weight has been widely used, but this measurement value has been developed by various body composition methods because there is a problem that the error is too great for each individual. .

이하, 본 발명의 실시 예를 참조된 도면을 참조하여 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

우선 참조된 도면, 도 2는 본 발명에 의한 체성분 분석을 위한 동작의 일례를 나타내는 개략도이고, 도 3은 도 2의 손 부분의 상세도이며, 도 4는 도 2의 발 부분의 상세도이고, 도 5는 본 발명에 의한 체성분 분석기의 구성 블록도이며, 도 6은 본 발명에 의한 체성분 분석방법의 순서도이다.2 is a schematic view showing an example of an operation for body composition analysis according to the present invention, FIG. 3 is a detailed view of the hand part of FIG. 2, FIG. 4 is a detailed view of the foot part of FIG. 2, 5 is a block diagram illustrating the composition of the body composition analyzer according to the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating the method for analyzing the body composition according to the present invention.

본 발명에 의한 체성분 분석기는 도 2 내지 도 4에 도시된 바와 같이 피측정자(1)가 전극(21a,21b)이 설치된 발판(21) 위에 서서 역시 전극(10a,10b)이 형성된 손잡이(10)를 양손(1a)으로 잡고 측정을 하게 되는 구성을 갖는다. 발판(21)에는 피측정자(1)가 양발(1b)을 올려놓고 서 있을 때 양발(1b) 각각의 발바닥에 접하게 되는 전극(21a,21b)이 형성되어 있고, 그 발판(21)의 하부에는 체중계(20)가 위치하게 된다. 따라서, 체성분 분석 시에 체중이 자동으로 측정되어 그 측정값이 주연산 처리부(60)에 입력되어 체성분 분석에 정보로서 활용되도록 되어 있다. 손잡이(10)는 일정길이의 봉형상으로 이루어지되, 일정한 반경으로 절곡된 모양으로 이루어지고, 전후단부의 직경이 감소되는 모양으로 이루어져 있다. 따라서, 피측정자(1)는 손잡이(10)를 용이하게 감싸 쥘 수 있도록 형성되어 있고, 손바닥이 접속하는 부분에 전극(10a,10b)이 설치되어 있다.In the body composition analyzer according to the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the subject 1 stands on the footrest 21 on which the electrodes 21a and 21b are installed, and the handle 10 on which the electrodes 10a and 10b are formed. Hold with both hands (1a) has a configuration that will be measured. The footrest 21 is provided with electrodes 21a and 21b which come into contact with the soles of the feet 1b when the subject 1 is standing on both feet 1b, and the lower part of the footrest 21 is formed. The scale 20 is located. Therefore, the weight is automatically measured at the time of body composition analysis, and the measured value is input to the main calculation processing unit 60 to be utilized as information for body composition analysis. Handle 10 is made of a rod-shaped of a predetermined length, but made of a shape bent at a constant radius, it is made of a shape in which the diameter of the front and rear ends is reduced. Therefore, the subject 1 is formed so that the handle 10 can be easily wrapped, and the electrode 10a, 10b is provided in the part which a palm connects.

물론, 이러한 발판(21)과 손잡이(10)의 전극(10a,10b,21a,21b)은 주연산 처리부(60) 등이 설치되는 본체에 전기적으로 연결되어 있고, 체중계(20) 또한 본체에 전기적으로 연결되도록 구성되어 있다.Of course, the footrest 21 and the electrodes 10a, 10b, 21a, 21b of the handle 10 are electrically connected to a main body in which the main computing unit 60 and the like are installed, and the scale 20 is also electrically connected to the main body. It is configured to connect.

따라서, 피측정자(1)는 양발(1b)을 발판(20)의 전극(21a,21b) 위치에 위치하도록 체중계(20) 위에 서서 양손(1a)에 상기한 손잡이(10)를 잡고 있으면, 체성분 분석이 자동적으로 이루어진다. 이때, 특히 피측정자(1)와 전극(1a,1b,21a,21b)이 접하게 되는 부분이 여러 번에 걸쳐 측정을 하게 되더라도 거의 동일한 위치에서 서로 접하게 되기 때문에 높은 재현성을 가질 수 있는 것이다.Therefore, the subject 1 stands on the scale 20 so that both feet 1b are positioned at the positions of the electrodes 21a and 21b of the footrest 20 and holds the handle 10 described above with both hands 1a. The analysis is done automatically. In this case, in particular, the part where the subject 1 is in contact with the electrodes 1a, 1b, 21a, and 21b may have high reproducibility because they are in contact with each other at almost the same position even if the measurement is performed several times.

도 5는 본 발명에 의한 체성분 분석기의 구성 블록도로서, 손잡이(10)의 전극(1a,1b)과 발판(21)의 전극(21a,21b)이 미세 전류를 통전시키는 드라이브 회로(31)와 전류 통전시 발생된 인체의 전압을 측정하여 인체의 임피던스를 검출하는 인체 임피던스 검출부(32)로 구성되는 임피던스 측정부(30)에 연결되어 피측정자(1) 인체의 임피던스가 측정되고, 그 측정값은 메모리부(40)에 저장된다. 메모리부(40)에는 이 인체 임피던스 측정값 외에 다른 여러 정보들이 저장될 수 있는데, 피측정자(1)의 신장, 성별, 연령 등이 그것이다. 이러한 피측정자(1)의 개인정보는 터치 스크린(51)이나 키패드(52)와 같은 데이터 입력부(50)를 통하여 피측정자(1)가 직접 입력할 수 있다.FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating the composition of the body composition analyzer according to the present invention, in which the electrodes 1a and 1b of the handle 10 and the electrodes 21a and 21b of the scaffold 21 carry a fine current. The impedance of the subject 1 is measured by measuring the voltage of the human body generated when the current is energized and connected to an impedance measuring unit 30 including the human impedance detecting unit 32 which detects the impedance of the human body. Is stored in the memory unit 40. In addition to the human body impedance measurement value, the memory unit 40 may store various other information, such as height, gender, age, etc. of the subject 1. The personal information of the subject 1 may be directly input by the subject 1 through a data input unit 50 such as a touch screen 51 or a keypad 52.

이러한 메모리부(40)는 주연산 처리부(60)에 연결되어 있는 바, 메모리부(60)에 저장된 인체 임피던스 측정값과 같은 각종의 정보는 주연산 처리부(60)로 이동하게 된다. 주연산 처리부(60)는 입력된 각종의 정보를 연산하여 체지방을 분석하고 이를 디스플레이부(71) 또는 프린터부(72)로 이루어지는 출력부(70)를 통하여 출력하게 되는 동시에 음성처리부(62)와 스피커(63)를 통해 외부로 음성신호로 출력할 수 있다. 또한, 주연산 처리부(60)는 시리얼 통신부(61)에 연결되어 여러 자료를 송수신할 수 있는 바, 예를 들면, FT 병원용 혈압계와 통신을 하여 최고혈압, 최저혈압, 맥박수, 평균혈압, 심근부하지수, 맥파음도유형, 총말초혈관저항, 혈류속도를 입력받고 그 결과를 출력할 수 있다. 물론, 이러한 구성은 4전극 방식의 통상적인 체성분 분석기의 원리와 동일하다.Since the memory unit 40 is connected to the main operation processor 60, various kinds of information such as a human impedance measurement value stored in the memory unit 60 are moved to the main operation processor 60. The main operation processor 60 analyzes body fat by calculating various types of inputted information and outputs the same through the output unit 70 including the display unit 71 or the printer unit 72. The speaker 63 may output the voice signal to the outside. In addition, the main operation processing unit 60 is connected to the serial communication unit 61 can transmit and receive various data, for example, by communicating with the FT hospital blood pressure monitor, the highest blood pressure, the lowest blood pressure, pulse rate, average blood pressure, myocardial load The exponent, pulse wave type, total peripheral vascular resistance, and blood flow rate may be input and output. Of course, this configuration is the same as the principle of the conventional body composition analyzer of the four-electrode method.

주연산 처리부(60)에서 이루어지는 체성분 분석은 여러 가지 방법에 의해 이루어질 수 있는 바, 통상의 경우와 마찬가지로 연산에 사용되는 보정식은 임상자료를 바탕으로 결정되고, 그 결과로는 체수분량, 체지방량, 체지방율, 비만도, 체질량지수, 기초대사량, 제지방량, 표준체중, 단백질량, 무기질량, 근육량, 세포내액, 세포외액 등을 출력하도록 할 수 있다.The body composition analysis performed in the main calculation processing unit 60 may be performed by various methods. As in the usual case, the correction formula used in the calculation is determined based on clinical data, and as a result, the body water amount, body fat amount, and body fat percentage. , Obesity, body mass index, basal metabolic rate, lean body mass, standard body weight, protein amount, inorganic mass, muscle mass, intracellular fluid, extracellular fluid, and the like.

본 발명에 의한 체성분 분석방법은 도 6의 순서도에 그 수순이 잘 표현되어 있다. 도시된 바와 같이 피측정자(1)는 터치 스크린(51) 또는 키패드(52)로 이루어진 데이터 입력부(50)를 통하여 개인 정보인 신장, 성별, 연령 등의 자료를 입력한다(S1). 피측정자(1)는 상기한 정보를 입력한 후, 측정위치로 손(1a)과 발(1b)이 위치하도록 하는데, 양손(1a)은 각각 손잡이(10)를 감싸쥐되, 손바닥이 전극(10a, 10b)에 접속이 이루어지도록 감싸쥔다(S2). 발(1b)은 전후에 설치된 전극(21a,21b)에 적당히 접속이 이루어지도록 위치시켜 서 있는 자세를 유지한다(S2).The body composition analysis method according to the present invention is well represented in the flow chart of FIG. As shown, the subject 1 inputs data such as height, gender, and age, which are personal information, through the data input unit 50 formed of the touch screen 51 or the keypad 52 (S 1 ). After the subject 1 inputs the above information, the hand 1a and the foot 1b are positioned at the measurement position. The hands 1a respectively surround the handle 10, and the palm of the electrode 10a. , 10b) is wrapped so that the connection is made (S 2 ). The foot 1b maintains the standing posture so as to be properly connected to the electrodes 21a and 21b provided before and after (S 2 ).

상기한 바와 같이 피측정자(1)가 측정 위치에 위치하게 되면, 체중계(20)에 전달되는 피측정자(1)의 체중은 체중계(20)에 의해 측정(S4)되어, 메모리부(40)에 다른 정보들과 마찬가지로 저장되는 동시에, 드라이브 회로(31)가 손잡이(10)의 전극(10a,10b)과 발판(21)의 전극(21a,21b)을 통하여 미세 전류를 통전시킨다(S3).As described above, when the subject 1 is positioned at the measurement position, the weight of the subject 1 transmitted to the scale 20 is measured by the scale 20 (S 4 ), and the memory unit 40 is provided. At the same time as the other information is stored in the drive circuit 31, the electric current through the electrodes (10a, 10b) of the handle 10 and the electrodes (21a, 21b) of the footrest 21 (S 3 ) .

그 후, 드라이브 회로(31)에 의한 전류 통전시 발생된 인체의 전압을 측정하여 인체의 임피던스가 인체 임피던스 검출부(32)에 의해 검출되고, 그 결과는 메모리부(40)에 저장된다(S5).Thereafter, the human body's impedance is detected by the human body impedance detecting unit 32 by measuring the voltage of the human body generated when the current is energized by the drive circuit 31, and the result is stored in the memory unit 40 (S 5 ).

이렇게 메모리부(40)에 저장된 정보는 주연산 처리부(60)로 전송되고, 주연산 처리부(60)에서는 입력된 개인정보 및 인체 임피던스 측정값에 기초하여 피측정자(1)의 체성분을 분석하게 된다(S7). 그 후, 음성처리부(62)와 스피커(63)를 통하여 음성으로 출력을 하게 되거나, 디스플레이부(71) 또는 프린터부(72)를 통하여 결과를 출력하게 된다(S8).The information stored in the memory unit 40 is transmitted to the main operation processor 60, and the main operation processor 60 analyzes the body composition of the subject 1 based on the input personal information and the human impedance measurement value. (S 7 ). Thereafter, the sound is output through the voice processing unit 62 and the speaker 63, or the result is output through the display unit 71 or the printer unit 72 (S 8 ).
