Description

METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE DYNAMIC LOCATION OF A DEVICE PROTECTION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This background is intended to provide the basic context of this patent application and is not intended to describe a specific problem to be solved.

Protective devices, such as tampons, diapers, protectors i feminine, etc., have existed for several years. Protection devices are created in such a way that they try to cover as many positions and activities of a person as possible. However, how the protective device will react to the movements and activities of a person can be a matter of conjecture.

Attempts have been made to study the position of the protection devices worn by a user. These attempts have been limited, since monitoring methods such as MRI and ultrasound typically allow no or only limited movement of the user. As a result, previous attempts have not been able to observe the dynamic movement of a protection device that a user wears while the user moves through various activities and / or body movements common in his daily life. Furthermore, it has been virtually impossible to correlate the sensory perceptions of the users with respect to the protection device with the actual position of the protection device in relation to the human body.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 1 This summary is provided to present a selection of concepts in a simplified manner, which will be further described later in the Detailed Description. This summary is not intended to identify the most important or essential characteristics of the claimed object, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed object.

[A method and user interface for monitoring the : dynamic movement of a protective device that a human being wears. The method uses a location device and a timer element to determine the location of a protection device in various periods of time. During these periods of time, the human being can participate in a variety of activities and positions, which can be stored and studied in real time or at a later time. As a result, the locations of a protection device can be illustrated in a user interface.

Figure 2 illustrates a method for obtaining dynamic data related to a protection device used by a human being during one or more body movements. The protection device can be used in any suitable manner, such as, for example, on or in the human being. In certain embodiments, the protection device can be worn on the inside of the garments in a human being. The method may include a computer application running on a computer, such as the computer 100 described in Figure 1, or on any other computerized device capable of executing a computer executable code. i In block 200, the computerized device 100 may receive a location indication of a location device associated with the protection device at a time stamp. Figure 3 is an illustration of a location device 300 associated with a protection device 305. The location device 300 may be conditioned on the inside, outside or an indoor and outdoor combination of a protection device 305.

The protection device 305 may be, for example and without limitation, an absorbent article, such as, for example, a tampon, a sanitary napkin, an intrauterine device, a protector for incontinence, a pantiprotector, an interlabial device, a diaper; a feminine product, such as, for example, a tampon, a sanitary towel, an incontinence protector, a panty-protector, an interlabial device, a diaper, a A pessary, a diaphragm, a cervical cap, a contraceptive sponge, or a ring i 'contraceptive; and / or a vaginal device, such as, for example, a tampon, a pessary, ; A diaphragm, a cervical cap, a contraceptive sponge, or a ring; contraceptive. In certain embodiments, the protection device 305 may be a bandage or a thermal wrap. i In certain embodiments, the location device 300 may be associated with the protection device, such as, for example, integrated, for example and without 1 limitation, as part of the protection device, such as, for example, as part of an absorbent core of a protector, a top canvas of a protector, wings of a protector, tampon removal member, a secondary absorbent member of a tampon, an elastic barrier in an incontinent product or diaper, an elastic waistband barrier in an incontinence product or diaper, or an elastic leg barrier in a product for incontinence or diaper. The location device 300 may also be associated with, such as, for example, integrated into an undergarment. The protection device 305 can be for men, women or for other animals that use protective devices 305.

The location device 300 can be of a size such that the movement of the human being is not inhibited by the location device 300. For example and without limitation, the location device 300 can have a length of less than 3 cm, a diameter less than 0.5 cm and may have a surface area less than ß cm squared.

I The location device 300 can create a location indication.

The location indication can be used through the computer application i such as the computer application 135 (Figure 1) to interpret the actual location of the location device 300. The location indication may indicate the location of the location device 300 as compared to another, known fixed point or may be compared to the Body of the person 310 in study. In another mode, GPS signals are used to create a location indication.

The marks in time can be used to establish a time when location indications are received. The movement of the location device 300 can be created by tracking the location indication during a plurality of marks in time or points in time. further, the mark in time can be synchronized with other timer devices such as the timer device in the computer 100 so that other factors can correspond to the location indication in the same mark in time. For example, a subject may feel moisture at a time mark A. Then, the computerized system may examine the location of the protection device 305 at the time the moisture sensation occurred (mark at time A). The synchronization of time between a plurality of computerized devices can be achieved in various ways, which are contemplated. For example, and without limitation, the clocks in the location device 300 and the computerized device 100 can be synchronized before communicating the location indication. Other .modalities are possible and are contemplated. i In block 210, the location indication and the time stamp can be stored in a memory in communication with the computerized device 100 such as the memory 132. In one embodiment, the memory 132 is part of the location device 300. In In another embodiment, the memory 132 is in a separate computerized device 100 with which the location device 300 communicates. Communication can be accomplished in several ways. In one example and without limitation, a thin optical fiber is used to communicate from the location device 300 to the computer 100. In another example and without limitation, communication is achieved wirelessly using virtually any frequency that is not harmful to a computer. human being. Even in another modality, communication is achieved using the resistance of the magnetic fields. Obviously, many other methods of communication are possible and are contemplated.

In block 220, an additional location indication of the location device 300 can be received at a mark in the additional time. As explained; above, the movement of the location device 300 with the passage of time is possible by receiving a plurality of location indications of the location device 300 in a plurality of times. In addition, the marks in time can be used to correlate with other internal and external influences that occur in the brand over time. For example, a subject under test may be lifting an object at a specific mark in time and information about the location of the location device 300 at the same mark in time may be especially useful.

In the block 230, the indication of additional location and the mark in the additional time can be stored in the memory 132 in communication with the computerized device 100. In addition, the indication of location and the mark in time can be analyzed and studied storing the location indication and the mark in time. The Indication of location the mark in time can be stored in a database or in any other appropriate electronic memory scheme. In one modality, the 'computerized device 100 is located separately from the location device and in another embodiment, the computerized device 100 is located within the location device 300. In one embodiment, the location device 300 data and the brand data Over time they can be stored in a memory 132 and can be downloaded to the computerized device 100 later. In another modality, the data of the device , of location 300 and the data of the mark in time are communicated in the "real time" or Almost real time such as when the data is stored in the memory 132, then They communicate in a timely manner to the computerized device 100.

To ensure that the data (location device and time) are reliable, a statistical analysis of the data can be performed. For example, false readings of the position of the location device 300 can be eliminated by statistical analysis. The data can be manipulated to be exportable to a plurality of data analysis and illustration programs.

In block 240, a report 400 can be created illustrating the location indication received in the time stamp and the indication of additional location in the mark in the additional time in the memory 132 in communication with the computerized device 100. The Figure 4 is an illustration of a potential report 400. The report 400 can be displayed in a user interface showing various options 420, 430,, 440 related to the time stamps and location indications, such as adding what the user was doing at each mark in time, what a user was feeling at each mark in time, such as, for example, a feeling of wetness, an uncomfortable feeling, or other sensations, adding the pulse rate to the report, etc. In certain embodiments, the report 400 may be in numerical form and / or graphic form. Additionally, or optionally, the report 400 may be a visual representation, such as, for example, a two-dimensional representation, a representation; three-dimensional, and / or a four-dimensional representation.

In one embodiment, the location indication is analyzed to determine an interpreted location of a protection device 305 in relation to the human body 310. The location indication may simply be an indication of how a location indicator relates to another object such as as a human body 310. The computerized system 100 may take the location indication and, with prior knowledge or knowledge obtained about the reference human being 310 or a representative human being, plot the location indicator location with reference to the human body. Figure 5 can be such an illustration. In yet another embodiment, the location indication and the additional location indication together with the measurement data about the human being 310 may be analyzed to determine an interpreted location of a protection device with respect to a human body 310. As another example and without limitation, the location indication may provide a GPS type signal indicating the location of the location device 300.

In addition, the location indication can be interpreted through additional dimensions. For example, the interpretation of location indication may place the location device in three dimensions with respect to a three-dimensional representation of a human being, such as, for example, the human being 310 in question. Software applications can be used to smooth transitions from a first interpreted location to an additional interpreted location. Furthermore, as explained above with respect to the marks in time, the location of the location device can be stored and plotted for a number of time periods.

The created report 400 can be a three-dimensional illustration of a human being and the location of the location device over a period of time. The illustration can be rotated through the three dimensions (x, y, z) and the position of the location device 300 or protection device 305 can also be illustrated in three dimensions. In addition, the illustration may be a video illustrating the position of the; location device 300 or protection device 305 for a period of time, [such as, for example, during one or more body movements of a human body, such as when the human body bends to lift a box or sit in a position of yoga. Using the start, stop, forward and reverse controls 450, video 400 can be stopped and rotated in three dimensions and then started again.

As mentioned above, the location device 300 can take a variety of forms. By way of example, and not as limitation, Figure 5 illustrates that the location device 300 may be one or more of the first location devices 500 associated with the protection device and a second location device 510 at a remote location of the first location. The location indication can compare an indication of a first location device 500 relative to a second location device 510, where the second location device 510 is spaced from the first location device 500. In some embodiments, the second location device 510 is located in a fixed position in the human being 310, such as, for example, the coccyx, pubis, cervix, perineum, and / or a Neo of the pelvis, and in other embodiments, the second location device 410 is jen. a fixed location near the human being 310. When placed on the human body 310, a location that is relatively rigid such as the coccyx, may be a useful location for the second location device 510.

During operation, the first location device 500 can provide signals in response to communications from the second location device 510. The second location device 410 can create a magnetic field and! may receive a response from the first location device 500 in response to the magnetic field. This response is interpreted in a location. Evidently, other suitable methods can be used to establish the position of the first location device 500 with respect to the second location device 510. In certain embodiments, the location device 300 can be an electromagnetic device. In addition, or optionally, in certain embodiments, the position of the location device 300 is not determined using ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed tomography (CT or CAT) scanning. English).

In addition, the location device 300 can take other forms and use different technology. For example, the location device 300 may be comprised of a plurality of gyroscopes that communicate a plurality of individual location indications. In another example, the location device 300 may be a plurality of accelerometers that communicate a plurality of individual location indications. In another example, the location device 300 may be a plurality of proximal detectors communicating a plurality of individual location indications.

The location indications can be received periodically as at least approximately every 0.5 second, such as, for example, at least approximately every 1 second. In other embodiments, the locations communicate only when the position of the location device 300 has a movement greater than a limit, such as 5.0 mm. In addition, the accuracy of the location indication can be +/- 5.0 mm but, obviously, this is only an example and not a limitation.

The data about the specific human body 310 in question can! collected in several ways. MRI, ultrasound, or X-rays can be used in advance to determine the physical dimensions of the human being 310. Physical measurements can also be taken. Second additional location devices 510 can be placed on body parts 310 itself to accurately obtain the desired human dimensions 310 in three dimensions. Such second location devices 510 can be considered as reference points. Any of the attachment points in the human body 310 can be used for the second reference location devices 510, such as, for example, places that are 1 relatively stable, such as the coccyx, the perineum and below the cervix of the body. human body 310. In addition, the first 500 location devices that are attached to I Less stable places such as the gluteals can be used to determine the movement of less stable places during movements and actions. The additional data 460 such as pressure data can be used to gather additional knowledge, such as, for example, information related to how tight a protection device 305 is in a particular space, for example.

Knowing the specific location in which the location device 300 was installed in the protection device 305 (for example, 5 mm of the perimeter), some measurement information about the human body 310 in question and the current location of the location device 300, mathematics can be used to determine the location of the protection device 305, where the protection device 305 is with respect to the human body 310 and / or the location of the location device 300 alone. By knowing the location of the protection device 305 with respect to the human body 310, information can be obtained on problems such as leakage in the protection device 305.

The additional data 460 of the protection device 305 can also be received. In one embodiment, a video device is also associated with, such as; example, installed in, the protective device 305 and the video signals are received from the device. The marks in time can also be stored with the video signals so that the video signals can match the location indications. The video signals and the marks in time can be stored in a memory 132 and the video can also be displayed alone or with the location indication as in the Figure. 5. You can also perform the steps to synchronize the brand in the video time; with the mark in time and show a user interface in which both the video in the 'mark in the video time and the location of the protection device are displayed in the! same mark in time.

'As another example of the additional 560 data that may be ; available, pressure indications of an associated pressure sensor can be received: with the protection device 305. The pressure indications and at least one marking; in the press time can be stored in the memory 132 in communication with the : computerized device 100. The mark in the time of pressure can be synchronized and: displayed in a user interface in which the indication of pressure and the location of the protection device in the same time mark are shown alone or together or in combination with other relevant data. The pressure sensor can be a load cell, a tensile force extensometer, a pressure sensor or any other appropriate pressure sensing device.

In addition, additional data 460 may be received in the form of humidity indications from a humidity sensor associated with the protection device 305. Moisture indications may be stored in the memory 132 in communication with the computerized device 100 and at least one marking humidity in time in the memory 132 in communication with the computerized device 100. The mark in the humidity time can be synchronized with the mark in time and the humidity indication and location of the protection device in the same mark in the time can be displayed, in a user interface, alone, together or with other relevant information. The moisture may be natural moisture of the human being 310, such as, for example, urine or menstrual fluid, or it may be moisture introduced into the body. The moisture can be introduced in any suitable manner, such as, for example, by providing a device similar to a catheter implanted in the protection device 305.

Additional data may also be received in the form of physical sensations 460 from the human being 310. Sensations may be stored and a mark may also be stored at the time of sensation. The mark at the time of sensation and the mark in time can be synchronized so that the sensations can be displayed at the same time as the location indications. Obviously, other relevant data can also be displayed. The sensations may include such sensations as muscular contractions, moisture, heaviness, laxity, pressure, acuity / severity of the protection device 305 and leaks or leaks.

As described in the present description, the location indications of the location device 300 and / or protection device 305 can be collected during one or more human body movements. He t 0 body movements can be any of the body movements I suitable, such as, for example, voluntary body movements, such as, for example, abrupt body movements, such as, for example, movement of whole body, movement of large segments of the body, use of long muscles, such as, for example, arm muscles, and / or abdominal muscles. In certain i modalities, the body movements or movements do not include involuntary movements such as reflex movements, breathing, or other involuntary movements.

In certain embodiments, indications of the location of the location device 300 and the protection device 305 can be collected when the human being is in a certain position. Some illustrative positions include a sitting position, a squatting position, a stretching position, a crawling position, a 'lifting position, a standing position, yoga positions and horizontal positions. The method can also track the position of the device 1 of location 300 and protection device 305 when there are movements of transition from one position to another. In certain embodiments, the human being may be in a supported position, such as, for example, supported by an object, such as, by , example, a table, a chair, or a bed. Optionally, the human being can be in a position without support. In certain modalities, the human being can be in one; position without support during at least part of the body movements, such as, for example, during the transition from a sitting position to a standing position.

The method may further track the additional data 460 such as the actions taken by the human being 310 and store a mark in the action time so that the actions can be compared with the location device 300 during the action. The shares can be any of the actions of interest. For example, and without limitation, actions may include coughing, sneezing, running, lifting, defecating, urinating, walking, laughing, jumping, squatting, jogging, running, running at high speed, swimming, doing yoga, and practicing a sport. The method can also track the position of the location device 300 when the human being 310 has a transition movement, such as, for example, when the human being 310 changes from one action to another action or from one position to one. new action or from an action to a position.

As can be seen, numerous applications are available for the described system. In one embodiment, the protection device 305 may be a tampon and measurements may be taken to establish the position of the tampon in the vagina (Figure 5). The string for removing the tampon can be marked with measurement marks to establish an initial position of the tampon using the marks of the measurements. This modality is especially unique because the location device 300 is inside the body, even in some modalities, not has wires, which allows the human being to feel more natural and able I provide one or more body movements for the study.

The method can be used to create a user interface 410 (Figure 4) 'for a computerized device to display the location of the protection device 305 for a human being 310 and additional related data over a period of time. The interface 410 may display an illustration 400 of a location of a location device 300 and a protection device 305 with respect to a human body 310 at a first point in time. The user interface 410 may also display a location of the location device 300 associated with the protection device 305 with respect to the human body 310 at a second point in time. Figure 400 can also highlight changes from the first point in time to the second point in time. Illustration 400 may include an animation of the movement of the location device 300 from the first point in time to the second point in time.

The user interface 410 may also display one or more options 420, 430, 440, 460 to obtain additional information related to the human body 310. The additional information available 460 may be displayed at the first point in time and at the second point in time. The moving illustration of the movements can be updated at least once every 0.5 seconds based on the 'responses of the location device 300 received and the location device 300 can be displayed with an accuracy of +/- 5 mm.

The additional data 560 may be a variety of data. For example and without limitation, the data 560 may include data about the pressure in the device of: protection 305 received from a pressure sensor that is part of the protection device 305, video from a video protective device 305, humidity readings of a humidity sensor installed in the protective device 305, physical sensations indicated by the human being, 310 such as muscular contractions, humidity, heaviness, slackness, pressure, 1 acuity or gravity of the protection device 305 and leakage. The additional data 460 'may also include showing the location of the protection device 305 when the human being 310 is in a position such as a sitting position, a squat position,: a stretching position, a crawling position, a position standing, a position of; lifting, a yoga position and a horizontal position. In addition, the additional data 460 may include the location of the protection device 305 when the human being 310 performs a selected action such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, running, jumping, squatting, defecating, urinating, lifting, walking, jogging, Run at high speed, swim, do yoga and practice a sport. The data 460 can also illustrate the location of the protection device 305 when the human being transitions from a first position to a second position, from a first action to a second action, from a first position to a first action, from a first action to a first position, etc.

By knowing the location of the protection device 305 for a plurality of times including the location of the protection device 305 with respect to the human being 310 in question, the additional information in the same marks in time can be studied to determine when and why. Protective devices move and potentially fail. By observing the movement of the protection devices 305 dynamically or for a period of time in a manner i discrete but very detailed, additional perceptions can be obtained in the movement, problems, failures, and successes of the protection devices 305.
