BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic device driving apparatus, and more particularly, to an electronic apparatus driving apparatus having an EEG pattern synchronizing unit.

Generally, brain waves are biological signals that directly or indirectly reflect human consciousness or unconscious state, and refers to a wavelength having a frequency of 30 Hz or less with a potential difference of tens of microvolts measured in all regions of human scalp.

These EEGs are classified into a delta wave, a theta wave, an alpha wave, a beta wave, and a gamma wave by frequency band. The delta wave is a brain wave with a frequency of less than 4Hz and typically appears in a normal sleep state. Theta wave is an EEG having a frequency of about 4 to 8 Hz, which is mainly observed when the state is disturbed or distracted. .

The alpha wave is an electroencephalogram with a frequency of about 8 to 12 Hz, which is generally stable when the mental state is stable, and the eye is closed and taking a relaxed psychological state. Alpha waves also occur when there is a high degree of concentration to separate from the surrounding situation, or when psychological stabilization has occurred due to meditation. Gamma wave is an EEG having a frequency of 30 to 50 Hz and appears in an excited state.

Beta waves refer to the EEG with a frequency of about 12 to 30 Hz, which is mainly observed when a little tension or attention is paid. Beta waves are widespread throughout the brain when exercising, learning, or performing tasks. The beta wave is divided into an SMR wave having a frequency of 12 to 15 Hz, an intermediate beta wave having a frequency of 15 to 18 Hz, and a high-beta wave having a frequency of 20 Hz or more. Beta waves are more stressful when exposed to stress such as anxiety or tension.

When attention is paid, SMR wave appears. When concentrated and normal activities are performed, middle beta waves with a frequency of 15 to 18 Hz appear in the left brain and Kobe beat exceeding 20 Hz appears when tension and anxiety continue.

1, the electronic device driving apparatus 101 according to the first embodiment includes an EEG measuring unit 10, an EEG transmitting unit 20, an EEG pattern synchronizing unit 30, an instruction executing unit 40 ), And a stimulus generator 50.

The EEG measuring unit 10 comprises an apparatus for receiving an EEG attached to a user. The EEG measuring unit 10 may attach a plurality of electrodes to a user's scalp and measure the EEG through the electrodes. In addition, the brain-wave measuring unit 10 can indirectly measure brain waves using ultraviolet rays, infrared rays, or the like. The EEG measuring unit 10 may be a headphone, a hair band, or a pair of glasses, and may be a hat. The brain-wave transmitting unit 20 transmits the brain waves to the electronic apparatus using wireless communication.

The stimulus generator 50 generates a stimulus for at least one of the five senses of the user. The stimulus generator 50 may generate only one stimulus, and may generate two or more stimuli at a time. As shown in FIG. 3, the stimulus generator 50 provides the stimulus to the user a plurality of times and measures the brain waves accordingly.

The stimulation generating unit 50 includes a tactile stimulation module 51, an electric stimulation module 52, a sound stimulation module 53, and a visual stimulation module 54.

The tactile stimulation module 51 protrudes the protrusions or forms a rough surface to stimulate the tactile sense of the user. The tactile stimulation module 51 may be a device integrally formed with the EEG measurement unit, and the user may push the button while pressing the button to project the projection or the like. The electrical stimulation module 52 stimulates the user by applying a low amount of electricity to the user which is not harmful to the user but is recognizable to the user. The electrical stimulation module may be a handle or the like.

On the other hand, the sound stimulation module 53 can generate auditory stimulation of the user by generating a cry of an animal, a sound appearing in nature, and a voice of a person using a smart phone or the like. The visual stimulation module 54 may generate light to cause a visual stimulus or display an image on the screen of a smartphone to cause a visual stimulus.

The brain wave pattern synchronization unit 30 interlocks the brain wave pattern responsive to the stimulation and the execution command. The EEG pattern synchronization unit 30 includes a peak value quantity determination module 31, a peak value intensity determination module 32, a peak value interval determination module 33, an average determination module 34, and a feature storage module 35. As shown in FIG. 4, the received EEG has a plurality of peak values. Here, the peak EEG means the maximum amplitude that appears in the vibration of the EEG.

The peak value quantity determination module 31 measures the number of peak values of the alpha waves, beta waves, theta waves, delta waves, and gamma waves in the received EEG. The peak intensity determination module 32 measures peak intensity of alpha waves, beta waves, ata waves, delta waves, and gamma waves in the received EEG.

The average determination module 34 determines characteristics repeatedly appearing in a plurality of received EEGs. Even if a feature appears in the received EEG, the one-time occurrence may be different according to time and situation, so that the average determination module 34 extracts the EEG characteristics common to various situations.

The feature storage module 35 stores a feature derived from the received brain wave and a designated drive command in association with each other. The characteristic storage module 35 compares the average brain waves of the general public with the brain waves of the user, and extracts portions of the user's brain waves that are different from the general human brain. For example, the feature storage module 35 may determine whether a user's brain wave exhibits a strong intensity at a measurement frequency to calculate a frequency band having a characteristic peak value.

A different pairing pattern is stored for each electronic device installed in the house. The user can generate the pairing pattern of the electronic device to be driven through an action reminiscent of a stimulus.

The feature determination module 42 detects a brain wave pattern connected to the stored drive command and executes a drive command associated with the detected brain wave pattern.

The feature determination module 42 compares the received EEG with the stored EEG patterns to determine whether they match or not, and determines whether the number of the peak values, the intensity of the peak values, and the intervals of the peak values coincide with each other. If it is determined that the features match, the feature determination module 42 generates a signal for driving the electronic device and transmits the signal to the electronic device. At this time, the driving signal to be transmitted may be performed in the same manner as the remote controller transmits the signal.

Hereinafter, a method of driving an electronic device according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining a method of driving an electronic device according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

The pairing step detects a pairing pattern for performing pairing with the electronic device in the received EEG, and converts the electronic pattern into a standby state so that the electronic device is controlled by the brain waves. A different pairing pattern is stored for each electronic device installed in the house. The user can generate the pairing pattern of the electronic device to be driven through an action reminiscent of a stimulus.

The feature determination step detects an EEG pattern associated with the stored drive command and executes a drive command associated with the detected EEG pattern. In the feature determining step, the received EEG is compared with the stored EEG pattern to determine whether the EEG matches or not, and whether the number of the peak values, the intensity of the peak values, and the intervals of the peak values coincide with each other is determined. The feature determination step generates a signal for driving the corresponding electronic device and transmits the generated signal to the electronic device when it is determined that the features match.
