Description of the invention: [Technical field of the invention] The present invention is a method for identifying acupoints, in particular, acupoint identification of the surface layer of human skin. [Prior Art] Meridians are the general term for meridians and collaterals, which are human operating gases. Blood, contact with the viscera, communication inside and outside, and the path up and down. In the 1950s, Yoshitani Nakagawa and Chinese and foreign scholars of the Φ network first revealed that the meridian is a route with high conductivity and a broad point. From then on, everyone called the meridian as a good guide, developed a number of measuring instruments, assisted clinical diagnosis to collect more human body information, and some scholars used the circuit model to describe the electrical properties of the skin or meridian. Previous scholars have speculated that the circuit model of human skin impedance, such as the same low-pass filter, has a cut-off frequency of less than 1 kilohertz (kHz). In 2005, Valchinov and Pallikarakis scholars measured the body's electrical impedance and used the active amplifier's frequency response to simulate the body's impedance response as an example of the 'voltage gain portion, which has a cut-off point of 3 dB, or _3 dB. It is at the 1 kHz position' and many studies have demonstrated that the impedance of the acupoint is lower than the non-acupoint. As shown in the second figure, it is an experimental data table of frequency versus voltage amplitude. Two of the subjects (No. 1 to No. 20) were at a current of 1 mA (4), voltages at 12 volts (7), and 10 Hz (Hz), 1 Hz, 1000 Hz, and 10000 Hz. Under the condition of sine wave signals of different frequencies, the average and standard deviation of the voltage amplitudes of each of the Quze, Linmen and the acupoint points are measured. The experimental data can also verify the above theory. 5 200927081 .- [Summary of the Invention The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for identifying acupuncture points on the surface layer of human skin to find the correct acupoint point. For the above purpose, the present invention uses a fixed frequency, current and electricity in the method of identifying acupoint points. The chord signal is injected into the measuring point near the acupuncture point of the human skin surface according to the indication, and then the difference between the acupoint point and the non-acupoint point can be seen according to the falling speed of the voltage curve of the measuring point. In addition to the above-mentioned composition and function, the voltage drop curve can be approximated by using a nonlinear function (for example, an exponential function), so that the device capable of calculating the capability can be automatically recognized. The preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below. Please refer to the first figure, which is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the process of the present invention. The steps are as follows. First, in step S10, the skin surface layer of the human body is searched according to the position map of the meridian acupoint. Eight (refer to the anatomical meridian circle written by Mori Taro and the traditional meridian acupuncture clinical manual edited by Shi Xuemin, the multiple points of measurement in the vicinity of the meridian acupoint location map and the search method), and then proceed to step S20. In step S20 , the sine wave signal with a voltage of 12 V is injected into each measurement point, and then step S3 进行 is performed. In step S30, at least one measurement point of each measurement point is measured. The voltage amplitude changes with time, and then proceeds to step S40. In step S40, a 6 200927081 exponential function is generated according to the voltage amplitude variation curve of each of the measurement points, and the exponential function includes a curve corresponding to each of the voltage amplitudes. a parameter and a coefficient, and then proceeding to step S5. In step S50, the voltage amplitude variation curve of each of the measurement points is used to determine the measurement points. And the coefficient, and then proceeding to step S6(). In step S60, if the parameter exceeds the critical value, the measurement point is an acupoint point; otherwise, the measurement point whose parameter does not exceed the critical value is a non-acupoint point. The above description is only a specific description of one of the possible embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the practice of the present invention. The scope of the patent application is not limited by the scope of the invention. The first embodiment is a schematic diagram of the embodiment of the flow of the invention.
