FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a human health check method using a computer according to the present invention. 2 is a perspective view showing the mouse pad apparatus 100 and the health state treatment apparatus 200 according to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 1, an emergency alert system 300 according to the present invention includes a mouse pad device 100 and a health state processing device 200.

The mouse pad device 100 has a shape of a plate having a seating surface of the mouse 1 as shown in FIG. 2. The mouse pad device 100 includes a mouse pad 102 having a wrist support portion 104 for supporting a wrist of a PC user, .

The mouse pad apparatus 100 includes a human body sensing unit 10 and a bio-signal processing unit 20.

First, the human body sensing unit 10 is disposed in a predetermined area of the wrist support unit 104 of the mouse pad 102, and detects a human body signal including a photoreceptor blood flow, skin resistance, A sensor 12, a pressure sensor 14, a GSR sensor 16, and a temperature sensor 18. In addition to the above sensors, an electromyogram sensor, an electrocardiogram sensor, an electroencephalogram sensor, and the like for health measurement may be additionally provided.

The PPG sensor 12 is generally used as an apparatus for measuring the flow of blood using an LED photodetector, which is widely used in a laboratory or a medical device, and estimates the heart condition by measuring blood flow.

For example, if the flow of blood is increased, it can be assumed that the heart is over-acting, and if the flow of blood is reduced, the movement of the heart is stabilized.

The GSR sensor 16 measures the skin resistance by disposing the two electrodes at a predetermined interval (for example, 1.5 cm). When the user is tensed, the skin sweats and the numerical value of the electrical resistance of the skin changes do. The GSR sensor 16 can estimate the physical condition of the user according to the difference of the resistance values.

The pressure sensor 14 measures the pulse of the PC user according to the change of the arterial blood flow.

The temperature sensor 18 measures the change of the body temperature of the PC user and measures whether or not the state of health is abnormal.

2, the bio-signal processing unit 20 is disposed in a predetermined region of the wrist support unit 104, receives the analog-type bio-signals from the human body sensing unit 10, amplifies and filters the same, Converts the digital signal into a predetermined digital signal, and transmits the digital signal to the health state processing device 200.

To this end, the bio-signal processing unit 20 includes an amplification unit 22 and a filter unit 24, a microcomputer (MCU) 26 for analyzing and converting the amplified and filtered bio-signals into a digital signal, And a transmitting unit 28 for transmitting the signal with the silent signal.

Hereinafter, an emergency alert system using a mouse pad according to the present invention will be described.

First, the bio-signals received through the receiving unit 202 of the health state treatment apparatus 200 are analyzed through the microcomputer 204 and then input to the bio-signal monitoring program 206 (S201). Each of the four bio- The heart rate value S204, the GSR value S204 and the body temperature value S205 determine the threshold value of the maximum value and the minimum value, respectively, If the data is between the maximum value and the minimum value (critical range), it is judged that the health condition is abnormal. If the value is more than the maximum value or less than the minimum value, the health state is judged as "abnormal" .

At this time, if the result of the health condition 'abnormal condition' is deduced, the continuous input of the bio-signal is received by the feedback, and if it is judged as 'abnormal condition', the number of the abnormal condition is accepted as the value of N (S206).

Next, when the number of 'N' of the collected 'idealized' exceeds 2, which is a majority of four bio-signals (S207), a warning message is output through a monitor of the user PC and a rest is recommended (S208) (S209). When the state of health is determined to be abnormal, a warning is displayed on the monitor again. After 5 minutes, three bio-signals are detected as " abnormal " (S210), the PC automatic shutdown program is executed to shut down the PC (S212), so that the user can rest because he can not use the PC and recover the health.

According to the present invention, attention and demand for continuous monitoring of a change in health state are rapidly increasing, and a living body signal monitoring apparatus using a mouse pad which is commonly used in daily life.
