Description
本發明提供一種生理感測裝置，特別是一種組合式生理感測裝置。The invention provides a physiological sensing device, in particular a combined physiological sensing device.
生理疾病，例如心臟疾病一直是人類所困擾的疾病之一，其不僅為銀髮族頭號隱形殺手之一，對於年輕人口而言，患有心臟疾病的機率也隨著生活習慣不良而逐漸增加。心律不整一直是心臟相關疾病中很常出現的病徵，目前對於心率/心電圖的偵測，主要是使用心電檢測裝置監測，傳統方式是以含有電解質的濕式電極黏貼在胸口，作為皮膚與機器之間的連結進而量得心率/心電圖。然而這種傳統監測設備體積龐大，通常只有在醫院才設置有該種設備，因此一般病人無法在居家生活中使用，如此也造成無法長時間監控的問題。因為心臟的問題是不定期出現的，這種體積龐大的心電測量裝置並無法因應實際需求。Physiological diseases, such as heart disease, have always been one of the diseases that humans are plagued. It is not only one of the invisible killers of the silver hair. For young people, the chance of suffering from heart disease gradually increases with poor living habits. Arrhythmia has been a common symptom in heart-related diseases. At present, the detection of heart rate/electrocardiogram is mainly monitored by ECG detection device. The traditional method is to stick the wet electrode with electrolyte to the chest as skin and machine. The connection between them further measures the heart rate/electrocardiogram. However, such a conventional monitoring device is bulky, and usually only installed in a hospital, so that a patient cannot be used in a home life, which also causes a problem that cannot be monitored for a long time. Because the heart problem is irregular, this large-scale ECG measurement device cannot meet the actual needs.
為了克服傳統監控設備體積龐大的缺點，近年來已有業者開發出體積小巧、可隨身攜帶的心電檢測裝置，然而這種心電檢測設備通常只能短暫地量測瞬間的心電訊號，而不能達到長時間監控的效果。此外，也有業者開發出貼附於使用者身上的心電裝置，除了能夠長時間監控外，還能夠提供隱密性的效果。然而這種長時間配戴於身上的裝置，就無法量測瞬間的心電訊號，因此也無法滿足使用者所有需求。換言之，目前使用者若有短時間測量及長時間測量的需求時，就必須要購買上述兩種不同的心電裝置，不僅開發端會耗費成本，使用者端也會耗費更多金錢。除了心電裝置之外，其它的生理訊號裝置也常具有相同的問題。In order to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional monitoring equipment, in recent years, the industry has developed a small-sized, portable ECG detection device. However, such an ECG detection device can only measure the instantaneous ECG signal for a short period of time. The effect of long-term monitoring cannot be achieved. In addition, some manufacturers have developed an electrocardiogram device attached to the user, which can provide privacy effects in addition to long-term monitoring. However, such a device that is worn on the body for a long time cannot measure the instantaneous ECG signal, and thus cannot satisfy all the needs of the user. In other words, if users have short-term measurement and long-term measurement requirements, they must purchase the above two different ECG devices. Not only will the development end cost, but the user end will also cost more. In addition to electrocardiographic devices, other physiological signal devices often have the same problem.
有鑑於此，若能夠將上述兩種生理裝置整合，使得生理裝置可同時間因應長時間及短時間測量，並且擴及其它生理訊號，將可提供更多便利性。In view of this, if the above two physiological devices can be integrated, the physiological device can simultaneously measure for a long time and a short time, and expand to other physiological signals, which will provide more convenience.
為了解決習知生理訊號相關監測裝置之問題，本發明提供一種組合式生理訊號量測裝置。該組合式生理訊號量測裝置可由兩個裝置組合而成。當兩個裝置拆開時，其中一個感測裝置可作為短時間測量用的感測裝置，當兩個感測裝置組合時，則可作為長時間測量用的感測裝置。舉例來說，短時間感測裝置可以是手持式的生理訊號感測裝置，而長時間感測裝置可以是配戴於使用者胸口附近的生理訊號感測裝置。故本發明可因應使用者的需求，隨時提供符合需求的感測方式，並可節省下許多生產成本。In order to solve the problem of the conventional physiological signal related monitoring device, the present invention provides a combined physiological signal measuring device. The combined physiological signal measuring device can be combined by two devices. When the two devices are disassembled, one of the sensing devices can be used as a sensing device for short-time measurement, and when the two sensing devices are combined, it can be used as a sensing device for long-term measurement. For example, the short-time sensing device may be a handheld physiological signal sensing device, and the long-term sensing device may be a physiological signal sensing device worn near the user's chest. Therefore, the present invention can provide a sensing method that meets the demand at any time according to the needs of the user, and can save many production costs.

在下方詳細說明中，參照附圖說明，於下文詳細說明之實施例、圖式及申請專利範圍並非用於限制本發明。在不悖離申請標的之範圍或精神下，可使用其他實施態樣或可做其他變化。The detailed description of the embodiments, drawings, and claims are not intended to Other implementations may be used or other changes may be made without departing from the scope or spirit of the application.
圖1係本發明之組合式生理訊號感測裝置1之一實施例之系統架構示意圖。如圖1所示，該組合式生理訊號感測裝置1主要包含:一第一感測裝置10、可與該第一感測裝置10組合的一第二感測裝置20、一第一感測裝置控制單元30以及一第二感測裝置控制單元31。該第一感測裝置10主要包括一第一感測單元11及一第一連接單元12，其中該第一感測單元11係用於感測使用者的一第一型態生理訊號。該第二感測裝置20主要包括一第二感測單元21及一第二連接單元22，其中該第二連接單元22係用以與該第一連接單元12相連接，藉此讓該第一感測裝置10與該第二感測裝置20可以被組合在一起。該第二感測單元21係用以感測使用者的一第二型態生理訊號。該第一感測裝置控制單元30係用以控制該第一感測裝置10的運作，該第二感測裝置控制單元31係用以控制該第二感測裝置20的運作，例如啟動該第二感測裝置20的感測功能。1 is a schematic diagram of a system architecture of an embodiment of a combined physiological signal sensing device 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the combined physiological signal sensing device 1 mainly includes a first sensing device 10 , a second sensing device 20 that can be combined with the first sensing device 10 , and a first sensing device. The device control unit 30 and a second sensing device control unit 31. The first sensing device 10 mainly includes a first sensing unit 11 and a first connecting unit 12, wherein the first sensing unit 11 is configured to sense a first type physiological signal of the user. The second sensing unit 20 includes a second sensing unit 21 and a second connecting unit 22, wherein the second connecting unit 22 is connected to the first connecting unit 12, thereby allowing the first The sensing device 10 and the second sensing device 20 can be combined. The second sensing unit 21 is configured to sense a second type of physiological signal of the user. The first sensing device control unit 30 is configured to control the operation of the first sensing device 10, and the second sensing device control unit 31 is configured to control the operation of the second sensing device 20, for example, to activate the first The sensing function of the second sensing device 20.
較佳地，當該第一連接單元12與該第二連接單元22相連接(即該第一感測裝置10與該第二感測裝置20組合在一起時)，該第一感測裝置控制單元30會停止該第一感測裝置10的感測功能，該第二感測裝置控制單元31並啟動該第二感測單元21感測功能。更詳細地說明，該第一感測單元11的感測時間與該第二感測單元21的感測時間是不重疊的。換言之，當該第一連接單元12與該第二連接單元22不相連接時，該第一感測裝置控制單元30會開啟由該第一感測裝置10的感測功能，以進行該第一型態生理訊號的量測，此時該第二感測裝置20並不會進行該第二型態生理訊號的量測；相反地，當該第一連接單元12與該第二連接單元22相連接時，則會轉變為由該第二感測裝置20進行該第二型態生理訊號的量測，此時該第一感測裝置10並不進行該第一型態生理訊號的量測。因此，當該第一感測裝置10與該第二感測裝置20分離時，該第二感測裝置20可以進入一關機模式，或僅使用微量的電量的一休眠模式。Preferably, when the first connecting unit 12 is connected to the second connecting unit 22 (that is, when the first sensing device 10 and the second sensing device 20 are combined), the first sensing device controls The unit 30 stops the sensing function of the first sensing device 10, and the second sensing device controls the unit 31 and activates the second sensing unit 21 sensing function. In more detail, the sensing time of the first sensing unit 11 and the sensing time of the second sensing unit 21 do not overlap. In other words, when the first connecting unit 12 is not connected to the second connecting unit 22, the first sensing device control unit 30 turns on the sensing function of the first sensing device 10 to perform the first The measurement of the type physiological signal, the second sensing device 20 does not perform the measurement of the second type physiological signal; conversely, when the first connecting unit 12 and the second connecting unit 22 When the connection is made, the second sensing device 20 performs the measurement of the second type physiological signal. At this time, the first sensing device 10 does not perform the measurement of the first type physiological signal. Therefore, when the first sensing device 10 is separated from the second sensing device 20, the second sensing device 20 can enter a shutdown mode, or a sleep mode using only a small amount of power.
