The present invention relates to a Bluetooth-based necklace capable of posture correction.

Modern people are getting more time to sit, and various illnesses caused by poor posture are increasing. Repeated misconceptions in the learning process, especially during adolescence, can lead to orthodontic treatment that requires lifelong treatment.

As people enter the aging society of the age of 100, the number of people suffering from illness due to their wrong attitude is continuously increasing.

In 2013, the cost of treatment for patients with scoliosis in 2013 is over KRW 24.9 billion as of 2013, with 26% of all adolescents aged 10-19, accounting for 28.5%.

According to a report by the American Chiropractic Association, half of Americans suffer back pain and spend $ 50 billion annually. The main cause of back pain is often caused by sports injuries, accidents, as well as misconceptions and obesity.

Despite the increasing number of people suffering from illness caused by wrong posture, there is no way to correct the posture and correct posture of the posture other than posture correction at the hospital.

The necklace apparatus 110 capable of posture correction according to the present invention includes a posture detection unit 111, an information transmission unit 112, a determination unit 113, a signal transmission unit 114, an output unit 115, a difference calculation unit 116 And a warning signal generation unit 117. [

The posture detecting unit 111 detects the posture of the wearer using an inertial sensor.

The information transmission unit 112 transmits the attitude of the wearer to the mobile terminal connected wirelessly.

The determination unit 113 determines whether or not the current posture of the wearer matches the pre-registered best posture based on the information of the posture of the wearer.

The signal transmitting unit 114 transmits a warning signal to the necklace apparatus when the current wearer's posture is determined not to coincide with the pre-registered ideal posture.

The output unit 115 outputs a notification sound based on the warning signal.

In this case, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the difference calculating unit 116 calculates a difference between the posture of the current wearer and the preliminarily registered best posture.

The warning signal generating unit 117 generates a leveled warning signal based on the calculated difference.

At this time, the signal transmitting unit 114 may transmit the leveled warning signal to the necklace apparatus.

The attitude sensor based attitude analysis algorithm for the attitude correction is as follows.

The attitude analysis algorithm is an algorithm that detects whether a user's false attitude is maintained for a long time and provides information that can warn the user.

Uses MEMS type inertial sensor that can be mounted on neckband with small size and low power to measure user's posture.

The inertial sensor consists of 6 degree-of-freedom sensors with 3 axes of acceleration and 3 axes of rotation speed, and provides information of 12 axes in total by 2 channels.

The user's movements need to process and analyze the sensor information because it is composed of not only the information about the wrong attitude but also the variation of activity, attitude information about specific activity, environmental noise, etc.

Therefore, it is necessary to apply a classification algorithm that recognizes the user's state through various signal processing processes such as filtering, signal composition, and feature point extraction after receiving raw data.

Considering the multidimensional sensor information and environment variables, we consider a classifier based on machine learning that can easily implement simple binary classifiers that have limitations and can build a variety of sensor DBs and then grasp the status of users based on the DB. .

1) Preprocessing

Definition: Preliminary processing of acquired data, elimination of high frequency job of acceleration data Sensor data acquired due to characteristics of inertial sensor requires preprocessing step.

Required skills: Non-Linear, Low Pass Median, Laplacian, Gaussian filter etc.

2) Signal Representation

Definition: Data representation, efficient representation of raw data as useful information.

The necessity of the algorithm: The temporal analysis of the signal is constrained by the information that can be provided, but it is hidden in the time information, but analysis of the information in the frequency information is necessary

Required technology: Piecewise Linear Representation (PLR), Fourier Transforms, Wavelet Transforms

3) Segmentation

Definition: Segmentation of signals, techniques to obtain important and useful information from continuous data

Algorithm Necessity: In the case of digital signal analysis, the analysis section can not be infinitely placed, and analysis of too long sections has the problem of delaying the analysis time and reducing the density of information provided, while analysis of too short sections is obtained by fragmentation of information The information is constrained. Therefore, it is aimed to maximize the amount of collected information needed for posture correction according to the selection of appropriate segmentation interval and the kind of segmentation technique.

Required skills: Sliding Windows, Top-down, Bottom-up, Sliding Window and buttom-up (SWAB)

 4) Feature Extraction

Definition: Finding the main characteristics of a data segment.

Algorithm Needs: The maximization of collected information has the advantage of extending the amount of information, while the time and difficulty of interpretation is caused by a curse of dimensionality that exponentially increases. Therefore, it is necessary to extract feature points through various techniques so as to show high classification performance while using uncomplicated classifiers by extracting dominant features with high discretion in information.

Required technology: Time-domain, Frequency-domain, Time-frequency-domain, Heuristic features, Domain-Specific Features

5) Classification and Recognition

Definition: Classification and recognition, classification of values derived from feature extraction as a whole, pattern recognition

It is necessary to classify the inclination of the posture, the change of the sensor signal by the activity, and the noise to detect the part where the posture is maintained. This is a technique that is difficult to handle at the level of a simple binary classifier. It should improve performance by training the classifier based on machine learning using signals collected in various environments.
