Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a retina and a sclera,

The present invention relates to a method for photographing blood vessels of an eye to check the health state thereof. In order to photograph the blood flow of the sclera distributed in the eyes by a photographing apparatus terminal having a small camera attached to the eyeglasses, A part of a wireless communication module that communicates with a smartphone, an analysis part of a smartphone that checks the flow of blood flow through a wireless communication, a warning part that causes a warning sound or a warning light to turn on the smartphone in case of a flow problem, And a portable spectacles blood vessel photographing apparatus for analyzing blood vessels and blood flow states distributed in the eyes, which is composed of an emergency sending part for sending out the image data transmitted from the smart phone to the hospital by checking the abnormal deformation.

The device for capturing the blood flow in the body has various devices ranging from a device for photographing the aorta to a device for measuring and measuring small microvessels, and has helped to identify and treat human diseases in many areas. Recently, vascular instruments used in hospitals, such as blood vessel perspective, output precise and accurate data. In addition, the latest diagnostic method for detecting cancer by the bloody drop is now being spotlighted as a simple diagnostic method.

However, there have been many casualties due to actual vascular disorders. However, there is no mechanism for checking the real-time blood circulation health state through communication by wearing a portable angiography device in glasses. The first thing a heart gives priority to sending blood is when the crisis happens, the heart sends blood to the brain until it reduces blood to other organs, and the first place where the blood supply is distributed first is the eye.

In the innermost part of the eye, there is a structure called retina with optic nerve. Here, there are retinal arteries and retinal veins. The blood that has been supplied to the arteries flows through the retinal tissues to the veins, so that the retina can perform its own vision maintenance function well. However, when the retinal artery becomes diseased, it becomes hard and presses the adjacent retinal vein. And if the retinal vein is depressed, the blood will not escape well. In this way, the arteries continue to flow into the vein, the outlet of the vein is clogged, the pressure of the vein increases. And beyond a certain limit, veins and sclera are bursting. And the blood that flows out of the retina and the sclera will be left intact, and the optic nerve directly exposed to the blood will be damaged.

The clogging of the cerebral blood vessels is called cerebral infarction and the cerebral blood vessels are called the cerebral hemorrhage. It is called stroke because it involves problems caused by cerebral blood vessels. In other words, it is called stroke.

A disease caused by a breakdown of cerebral blood vessels is called a stroke, and a disease caused by a breakdown of the eye blood vessel can be called an eye stroke.

However, eye paralysis is a problem in itself, but it is a signal that cardiovascular or cerebrovascular abnormalities are present. In fact, a university research team in Singapore investigated the relationship between retinal disease and stroke for 13 years after taking retinas in 2,900 eyes of hypertensive patients every year and found that the risk of strokes was more than twice as high .

Actually, the blood flow of the retina and sclera can be a signal of health not only directly to the cerebral blood vessels but also to indirectly know the state of the capillaries in the body. For this reason, a device for photographing the retinal scleral vessels of the portable eye is needed.

Patent Publication No. 10-2010-106965 (Oct. 4, 2010)

A solution to the problem of the present invention is a system for photographing blood vessels distributed in the eye, and a Google company can photograph and view images using a camera and a display mounted on a glass. However, according to the present invention, in order to view the blood vessels of the actual eye, the blood flow of the eyes can be viewed at a normal magnification.

Also, the image of the blood vessel can not be seen in the area of the visible ray, and another light source is required.

First of all, in the case of conventional cameras, it is necessary to have a magnification of 2 times or more than 3 times that of conventional cameras. Further, in order to acquire images, a fixed focus is required so that only blood vessels can be photographed.

The present invention relates to a portable eyeglass that photographs blood vessels in a part called an ophthalmologist or sclera in the eye and a part of a blood vessel called a retina in the eye in real time and checks the blood flow and the condition of the blood vessel, You can see the signal in advance and transmit the abnormality of the blood vessel to the smartphone to see the flow of the blood vessel taken by the blood vessel of the user and analyze it in the real time smartphone app to check whether the blood flow of the current blood vessel is abnormal Analysis and sending it to a specialized hospital for analysis and action.

In order to acquire an iris image, the iris size is generally applied to a biometric system through a zoom and autofocus function. However, the present invention can recognize a vein pattern of a hinge of a pupil around an eye, The blood flow of the capillary blood of the eye is measured, and the details of the present invention are as follows.

In a method of photographing blood vessels of the eye, that is, scleral blood vessels and checking the health state, a small camera is installed in the glasses, and the blood flow of the sclera and the retina distributed in the eyes is photographed in the installed apparatus, and the photographed images are stored in the terminal The stored image is received by the personal terminal so that the user can directly view the flow chart in real time. If there is an abnormality in the blood vessel, the portable terminal displays a warning sound or a visual method of the image so that the user can see the state of the blood vessel in real time. The basic state is analyzed in the smartphone app to check the basic blood vessel state So that the user can know and send the opinions of the experts to the hospital or the medical center by automatically receiving or sending the images to the hospital and clinic so that the diagnosis result of the medical staff can be known.

Conventional angiography apparatuses are complicated and incapable of portability, so it is difficult to foresee diseases coming from vascular diseases in advance. However, the present invention uses microlenses as cameras in easy-to-carry glasses to photograph the blood vessels of the eyes from time to time, It is a system that can measure blood flow in the eyes of the user by passing it to the smartphone and measure the vascular disorder in advance, which is convenient to carry.
