The time detector 210 detects an input end time from the start point to the end point of the input pattern displayed by the output unit of the input pattern analyzer for diagnosing Parkinson's disease.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, four points 251 to 254 are displayed at the output of the input pattern analyzer for diagnosing Parkinson's disease, and an object such as a subject's finger or a set input means may be used. object) from the start point 251 to the end point 254 in order to receive a drag input, and the letter Z is input as an input pattern.

In the above-described example, the input unit of the input pattern analysis device for diagnosing Parkinson's disease receives two points 252 and 253 sequentially starting from the start point 251 and finally inputs to the end point 254. When receiving, the time detector 210 detects the total time of sequentially inputting from the start point 251 to the end point 254.

In detail, the time detector 210 detects a time when each point displayed by the output unit of the input pattern analysis device for diagnosing Parkinson's disease is dragged or touched by the object, and between each point and the point. You can calculate the time. The distance extracting unit 220 extracts a difference in the shortest moving distance in which the object may sequentially move a plurality of points in accordance with the input pattern from the total moving distance in which the object sequentially moves the plurality of points in accordance with the input pattern.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2C, the input unit of the input pattern analysis apparatus for diagnosing Parkinson's disease receives two points 255 and 256 sequentially input from an object, and the total distance traveled by the object ( 258 is a centimeter, and the shortest distance 257 of the two points 255 and 256 is 1 cm.

In the above-described example, the distance extracting unit 220 may include a plurality of points according to the input pattern of the object at the total moving distances 258 and 3 cm in which the object sequentially moves the plurality of points 255 and 256 according to the input pattern. 2cm is extracted with the difference of the shortest movement distance (257, 1cm) which can sequentially move 255, 256). The accuracy calculator 230 includes an input center detector 231 and a center distance calculator 232, and the accuracy calculator 230 is a result value of the input center detector 231 and the center distance calculator 232. Based on this, the accuracy of the subject's input is calculated when receiving the pattern input from the subject.

The input center detector 231 detects the center of the input area input from the object, and the center distance calculator 232 is configured to detect the center of the point inputted by the object from the center of the input area detected by the input center detector 231. Calculate the distance.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 2D, when the intersection area 272 of the input area 270 input from the object and the point 264 input by the object occurs, the input center detection unit 231 may remove the object from the object. The center 271 of the input area 270 received is detected, and the center distance calculator 232 receives a point input by the object from the center 271 of the input area 270 detected by the input center detector 231.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2D, the accuracy calculator 230 calculates the calculated distance from the center 271 of the input area 270 to the center 260 of the point 264. It can be seen from 260 that it is longer than the length 263 of the longest radius, so that the accuracy of the input can be calculated as 20 percent.

For another example, as shown in FIG. 2E, when the intersection area 272 of the input area 270 input from the object and the point 264 received by the object occurs, the input center detection unit 231 The center 271 of the input area 270 received from the object is detected, and the center distance calculator 232 is input by the object from the center 271 of the input area 270 detected by the input center detector 231. The distance 280 from the center 260 of the received point 264 is calculated.

Thereafter, the accuracy calculator 230 calculates the accuracy of the examinee's input when receiving the pattern input from the examinee based on the result values of the input center detector 231 and the center distance calculator 232.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2E, the accuracy calculator 230 calculates the calculated distance from the center 271 of the input area 270 to the center 260 of the point 264. From 260, it is found that it is longer than the length of the second longest radius 262, so the accuracy of the input can be calculated as 40 percent.

For another example, as shown in FIG. 2F, when an intersection area 272 of the input area 270 input from the object and the point 264 input by the object occurs, the input center detection unit 231 The center 271 of the input area 270 received from the object is detected, and the center distance calculator 232 is input by the object from the center 271 of the input area 270 detected by the input center detector 231. The distance 280 from the center 260 of the received point 264 is calculated.

Thereafter, the accuracy calculator 230 calculates the accuracy of the examinee's input when receiving the pattern input from the examinee based on the result values of the input center detector 231 and the center distance calculator 232.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2F, the accuracy calculator 230 calculates the calculated distance from the center 271 of the input area 270 to the center 260 of the point 264. Confirming from 260 that it is longer than the length of the shortest radius 261, the accuracy of the input can be calculated as 60 percent.

As another example, as shown in FIG. 2G, when the intersection area 272 of the input area 270 input from the object and the point 264 input by the object occurs, the input center detection unit 231 The center 271 of the input area 270 received from the object is detected, and the center distance calculator 232 is input by the object from the center 271 of the input area 270 detected by the input center detector 231. The distance 280 from the center 260 of the received point 264 is calculated.

Thereafter, the accuracy calculator 230 calculates the accuracy of the examinee's input when receiving the pattern input from the examinee based on the result values of the input center detector 231 and the center distance calculator 232.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2G, the accuracy calculator 230 confirms that the center 271 of the input area 270 is outside the center 260 of the point 264, thereby reducing the accuracy of the input to 80 percent. Can be calculated

Although not shown in the drawings, if it is confirmed that the center 271 of the input area 270 overlaps with the center 260 of the point 264, the accuracy calculator 230 sets the accuracy of the input to 100 percent. Can be calculated

In addition, the accuracy calculation unit 230 is based on the input time between the center (input coordinates) of the input area detected by the input center detector 231 and the respective points detected by the time detector 210, and between the respective points. You can also calculate the input speed of.

The score planning unit 240 receives data regarding the detected time, the extracted distance, and the calculated accuracy from the time detector 210, the distance extractor 220, and the accuracy calculator 230, respectively, according to a set algorithm. Score points for pattern entry by the examinee.

Here, the set algorithm is equal to the pattern input end time detected by the time detector 210, the difference of the movement distance extracted by the distance extractor 220, and the percentage calculated by the accuracy calculator 230, respectively, to give equal weights. An algorithm that scores a pattern input.

Hereinafter, an example of defining a parameter for each time, a moving distance, and an accuracy according to an algorithm in which the score setting unit 240 is set, and setting a score will be described in detail.

First, the score setting unit 240 is a first class (normal group) when the pattern input end time detected by the time detector 210 is less than 10 seconds from 0 seconds or more according to an algorithm set for the time parameter, and 10 seconds. In the above case, less than 20 seconds can be classified as a second grade (Parkinson's disease risk group), and more than 30 seconds can be classified as a third grade (Parkinson's disease suspect group).

In addition, the score setting unit 240 is the first class (normal group) when the difference of the movement distance extracted from the distance extraction unit 220 is less than 2cm in accordance with the algorithm set for the movement distance parameter, the 2nd or more If it is less than 4cm, it can be classified as the second grade (Parkinson's disease risk group), and if it is more than 4cm, it can be classified as the third grade (Parkinson's disease suspect group).

In addition, the score setting unit 240 is a first grade (normal group) when the accuracy percentage calculated by the accuracy calculation unit 230 is more than 0 to less than 50 percent according to an algorithm set for the accuracy parameter, and more than 50 percent In less than 100% of the population, a second grade (Parkinson's disease risk group) can be classified as a third grade (Parkinson's disease suspect group).

Thereafter, the scoring unit 240 may set the score for the input pattern of the examinee by giving equal weights to the time, moving distance, and accuracy parameters. For example, the score setting unit 240 may set the first grade to 33.3 points, the second grade to 22.2 points, and the third grade to 11.1 points, respectively, for the time, travel distance, and accuracy parameters. .

For example, when the score setting unit 240 is classified into a first class for the time parameter, a second class for the moving distance parameter, and a first class for the accuracy parameter, the score setting unit 240 is performed. Can score 88.8 (33.3 + 22.2 + 33.3) for the subject's pattern input.

As another example, when the score setting unit 240 is classified into a third class for the time parameter, a second class for the moving distance parameter, and a third class for the accuracy parameter, the score setting unit 240 is performed. ) Scores the subject's pattern input as 44.4 (11.1 + 22.2 + 11.1).

In addition, the score setting unit 240 may set a score based on the uniformity of the speed between each point calculated by the accuracy calculator 230. For example, five points were displayed at the output of the input pattern analyzer for diagnosing Parkinson's disease, and each of the five points was dragged by the connection line test method, and the input between the first point and the second point was The speed is 0.5m / s, the input speed between the second point and the third point is 0.8m / s, the input speed between the third point and the fourth point is 0.9m / s, the fourth point and the fifth The input speed between the points is 0.5m / s, the deviation of the input speed is less than 0.2m / s at 0m / s or more, and the first class (normal group), and less than 0.4m / s at 0.2m / s or more. Will be described as class 2 (Parkinson's disease risk group), and 0.4m / s or more is classified as class 3 (Parkinson disease risk group).

In the above-described example, the score setting unit 240 may set the score of the input speed based on the input speed calculated by the accuracy calculator. Specifically, the score setting unit 240 confirms that the speed deviation between each point is 0.3 m / s, 0.1 m / s and 0.4 m / s, respectively, and then scores 66.6 (22.2 + 33.3 + scores of the pattern input of the examinee). 11.1).

In addition, the scoring scheme 240 is based on the time, distance, accuracy between the horizontally connectable points and points, between the vertically connectable points and points and between the diagonally connectable points and points, between each point. After scoring, scores may be set by comparing the time, distance, and accuracy from the starting point to the ending point.

For example, a plurality of points are displayed at the output of the input pattern analyzer for diagnosing Parkinson's disease, and each of the plurality of points is dragged horizontally, vertically and diagonally by a connection input test method or by a touch input method. Received by touch input, the horizontally input score is 66.6, the vertically input score is 99.9, the diagonally scored score is 33.3, all points from the start point to the end point We will explain the case of 66.6.

In the above-described example, the score setting unit 240 may compare the scores inputted horizontally and the total scores and score the scores (66.6 / 66.6), and score the scores by comparing the scores input vertically and the total scores (99.9 / 66.6), and scores (33.3 / 66.6) can be compared by comparing the score input diagonally and the total score.

Therefore, the examinee looked at each comparison data determined by the score setting unit 240, the horizontal input received the same score when compared to the total score, the vertical input received a high score when compared to the total score, Since the diagonal score can be confirmed that the score is lower than the total score, the examinee can know in detail which of the horizontal, vertical and diagonal inputs is relatively high and low, thus providing the examiner with accurate analysis data. At the same time, there is an advantage in that the test subject can be provided with data for judging which ability is relatively high and low.

Subsequently, the input pattern analyzing apparatus for diagnosing Parkinson's disease generates and displays a plurality of points based on the test method and the input pattern selected from the examinee (S730).

Subsequently, the input pattern analysis apparatus for diagnosing Parkinson's disease determines whether at least two or more points are sequentially input in the order set from the start point to the end point among the plurality of displayed points (S740).

Then, when the input pattern analysis apparatus for diagnosing Parkinson's disease is determined that at least two or more points are sequentially input in the order set from the start point to the end point among the plurality of points, at least two or more points are input. Based on at least one of distance and accuracy, the diagnosis and progression of Parkinson's disease are determined (S750).

8A and 8B are block diagrams schematically illustrating a detailed configuration of a controller in an input pattern analysis apparatus for diagnosing Parkinson's disease according to another embodiment of the present invention, and a diagram for describing the same.

First, as shown in FIG. 8A, the controller 800 of the input pattern analysis apparatus for diagnosing Parkinson's disease according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a time setting unit 810, a coordinate extraction unit 820, and a distance. And a deviation calculator 830, a time deviation calculator 840, a score calculator 850, and a Parkinson's disease diagnosis unit 860.

The time setting unit 810 sets a time value for touch coordinates generated according to the movement of the object when the object is sequentially moved between each point displayed by the output unit of the input pattern analyzer for diagnosing Parkinson's disease. Set periodically every time.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8B, the time setting unit 810 may display three points 870, 880, and 890 displayed by the output unit of the input pattern analysis apparatus for diagnosing Parkinson's disease as 870 points. , The time value for the touch coordinates generated according to the movement trajectories 871 and 881 of the object when sequentially moving in the order of 880 points and 890 points may be periodically set every 20 ms.

The coordinate extractor 820 extracts a touch coordinate value generated according to the movement trajectory of the object when the object sequentially moves between each point displayed by the output unit of the input pattern analyzer for diagnosing Parkinson's disease.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 8B, the coordinate extractor 820 displays three points 870, 880, and 890 displayed by the output unit of the input pattern analyzer for diagnosing Parkinson's disease as 870 points. The touch coordinate values (x, y) generated according to the movement trajectories 871 and 881 of the object when sequentially moving in the order of 880 points and 890 points may be extracted.

The distance deviation calculator 830 calculates the difference between the movement trajectory of the object and the linear distance between each point when the object sequentially moves between the points displayed by the output of the input pattern analyzer for diagnosing Parkinson's disease. Calculate

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 8B, the distance deviation calculator 830 may display three points 870, 880, and 890 displayed by the output unit of the input pattern analyzer for diagnosing Parkinson's disease. When moving sequentially in the order of points, 880 points, and 890 points, the moving trajectory (871, 881) of the object and the linear distance between each point (linear distance between 870 and 880 points and linear distance between 880 and 890 points) ) Can be calculated.

The time deviation calculator 840 calculates a time deviation based on a periodic time value with respect to touch coordinates generated according to the movement of the object set by the time setting unit 810.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8B, the time taken as the object moves between 870 and 880 points is 140 ms, and the time taken as the object moves between 880 and 890 points is 60 ms, As the object moves from the start point, which is the entire point, to the end point, the average time taken will be described as 80 ms.

In the above-described example, the time deviation calculator 840 may calculate the time deviation to 60 by confirming that an object took 60 ms increased time compared to the average time of 80 ms when the object moves between 870 and 880 points. When the object moves between 880 points and 890 points, the time deviation can be calculated as 20 by confirming that 20 ms is reduced from the average time of 80 ms.

The score planning unit 850 is a time set by the time setting unit 810, coordinate extraction unit 820, distance deviation calculation unit 830 and time deviation calculation unit 840, the extracted coordinates, the calculated distance and calculation Receive data about the time specified, and score the pattern input of the examinee according to the set algorithm.

Here, the set algorithm is an algorithm for calculating the score of the examinee by calculating the speed based on the distance calculated by the distance deviation unit 830 and the time calculated by the time deviation calculation unit 840.

For example, the scoring scheme 850 has a speed of 5 mm / s when the object moves between the first and second points, and a speed of 2 mm / s when the object moves between the second and third points. If the object moves between the third point and the fourth point, the speed is 12mm / s, and the speed when the object moves between each point is more than 0mm / s but less than 5mm / s. , 33.3 points), 2mm (Parkinson's disease risk group, 22.2 points) for 5mm / s or more and less than 10mm / s. Let me explain the case where it is classified as).

In the above example, the scoring scheme 850 shows the second grade (22.2 points) when the object moves between the first point and the second point, and the first grade (33.3) when it moves between the second point and the third point. Point), when moving between the third point and the fourth point, it can be set as the third class (11.1 points).

The Parkinson's disease diagnosis unit 860 determines the presence or absence of Parkinson's disease and the progress of Parkinson's disease for the examinee based on the score established by the score stipulating unit 850. For example, the Parkinson's disease diagnosis unit 860 scores a score of 0 to less than 33.3 as a normal group and a score of 33.3 or more to less than 66.6 as a normal group. As a Parkinson's disease risk group, scores of 66.6 points or more and less than 100 points can be diagnosed as Parkinson's disease suspect group.
