Description

Motion guidance method capable of measuring physiological parameters

The invention relates to a motion guiding method for measuring physiological parameters.

In recent years, social progress and convenience have been met, but they have been materially satisfied, but they have not been relatively satisfied on the psychological level. Therefore, more and more cases of suicide due to depression can be found. It can be seen that many people today do not know how to burst or not to relax in time when facing stress. There are many ways to squeezing pressure pipes, and exercise is the most widely used method. Whether it is running, walking, dancing or qigong, it is achieved by swinging the body to achieve physical and mental well-being. Appropriate exercise can increase cardiopulmonary function on the one hand, and also has great benefits to the brain on the other hand.

The amount of exercise varies according to age or exercise habits; and the amount of exercise that each individual can afford is different. Therefore, excessive exercise and inactivity are not good for the individual's body. Moderate and difficult exercise is a key and difficult task. The motion guide can calculate the frequency through the user's motion, coordinate with the user and play music or rhythm to regulate the speed of movement that the individual can afford. With intelligent guidance, users don't have to deliberately force their bodies, but they can achieve the best exercise release. At present, the measurement of physiological parameters of exercise is divided into two methods: non-contact and contact (or intrusion).

In the above two methods, the contact method needs to be adhered or bound to the surface of the human body by the electrode patch, or cover the mouth and nose with a mask to measure the flow rate and concentration of the breathing gas (oxygen and carbon dioxide); the intrusive method is Blood is taken to detect information such as lactic acid concentration or other substance concentration in the blood. These methods are inconvenient or harmful to the human body. For example, long-term patches adhere to the surface of the body, which may cause itching and inflammation of the skin. Invasive methods also cause wounds on the surface of the human body. Improper handling may cause bacteria. infection. The non-contact method does not need to touch the surface of the human body, and the degree of exercise is calculated by measuring the heartbeat and breathing of the athlete, calculating the heart rate and the breathing rate. This method does not affect the user's movement at all and does not cause the user to feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, what is needed is a motion guidance method that can measure physiological parameters in a non-contact manner.

The object of the present invention is to provide a motion guiding method capable of measuring physiological parameters, which uses ultra-wideband pulse technology to measure user's physical energy information to achieve feedback control of motion commands (such as music beats).

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a motion guiding method capable of measuring physiological parameters, comprising the steps of: (a) providing at least one sensor and a host, the host system storing at least one predetermined beat and a predetermined time The sensor is a sensor using an ultra-wideband pulse technology, the host further sets a built-in value, the built-in value is an upper limit of the user's breathing and heartbeat; (b) the host issues an instruction to the user After receiving the instruction, the corresponding limb movement (c) the sensor detects the user's limb movements and transmits the motion data back to the host; (d) the host analyzes the returned limb motion data, and after analysis, obtains an action beat; (e) the action beat The peak frequency is compared with the rhythm of the motion instruction (such as music beat) to determine whether the agreement is reached within the predetermined time; (f) if yes, the instruction is speeded up; if not, the instruction is slowed down; Slowing down the command, which causes the action beat to approach the user's body motion frequency; (g) the host determines whether it is a temporary rest period; (h) if yes, suspends the command, the host measures the user's heartbeat and Breathing; if not, proceeding to step (b); (i) the host determines if the user's breathing and heartbeat reaches the upper limit of the built-in value; and (j) if so, slows down the command; if not, proceeds to the step (b).

Preferably, the sensor is a sensor using ultra-wideband pulse technology.

Preferably, the command is music.

Preferably, in step (d), the host computer performs the leaf transfer conversion of the action data.

Preferably, in step (f), the speeding up of the instruction is to speed up the playing of the music.

Preferably, in step (f), the slowing down of the command is to slow down the playing speed of the music.

In order to enable your review committee to have a better understanding and recognition of the structural purpose and efficacy of the present invention, the detailed description is as follows.

Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a motion guiding system for implementing the present invention. The host 1 is connected to a sensor 10, which can issue commands (such as rhythmic music) and can detect the movement, breathing and heartbeat of the user A by the ultra-wideband pulse technology by the sensor 10. User A is located within the detection range of the sensor 10; of course, the host 1 stores a beat of a predetermined frequency of music.

When the host 1 emits music, the user A starts to move with the music rhythm after hearing the music. At this time, the sensor 10 starts to detect the movement of the user A, and transmits the data back to the host 1, and the host 1 can be moved by the body. The waveform is used to calculate its frequency.

With the lapse of time, the host 1 can derive the distribution curve of the body motion frequency from the accumulated body motion signal through the Fourier transform. If user A's rhythm is good, his body frequency must be close to or fully in line with the music rhythm frequency. The peak height of the body motion frequency distribution will fall on the rhythm frequency. When the peak value is larger, it means that the amount of exercise is larger, so the relationship between the amount of exercise and the sense of rhythm can be seen as shown in FIG.

However, if the peak of the body motion curve does not match the current music rhythm frequency, and the backward state is present, the peak of the body motion curve will be located at a position smaller than the rhythm frequency (as shown in Figure 3). The host computer 1 will gradually slow down the music rhythm and approach the user's body movement frequency, so that the user A can easily and unburdened with the music. If the host 1 makes the music change with the physical and rhythm of the user A, the peak value of the detected beat distribution will gradually reach the most saturated value, which is the optimal physical fitness state for the user A.

On the other hand, if user A can keep up with the rhythm of music within a predetermined time, the main Machine 1 will gradually speed up the rhythm of the music (as shown in Figure 4), allowing User A to slowly follow the faster rhythm until User A can't keep up with the rhythm. The purpose is to slowly increase the physical state of the user A, thereby increasing the amount of exercise. In this embodiment, the host 1 is further stored for a predetermined time, thereby determining that the peak value of the detected body motion signal can match the rhythm of the music within a predetermined time.

During the process of guiding user A to move, the host 1 will intermittently pause the strong rhythm (usually drum sound) in the music to instruct the user A to temporarily stop the body movement and take a rest. At this time, the host 1 measures the use of the machine. A's breathing and heartbeat. It is known that there is a linear relationship between heartbeat and exercise volume (please refer to the article "Use of Heart Rate to Predict Energy Expenditure from Low to High Activity Levels" published by Hiilloscorpi et al., 2003, Int. J. Sports Medicine. The oxygen intake of A is not enough for exercise. If you exercise again, it will cause the body to circulate without oxygen, causing lactic acid to accumulate in the body, which will make people's muscles sore. Host 1 can set a limit of breathing and heartbeat according to the user ( For example, the heartbeat is 140 times per minute and the breath is 30 times per minute. When the breathing and heartbeat of the user A exceeds the upper limit, the host 1 slows down the amount of exercise even if the music rhythm is slowed down.

It can be seen that the implementation steps of the motion guiding method of the measurable physiological parameter of the present invention can be as shown in FIG. 5, wherein: Step 51: The host starts and plays music with a predetermined beat, and the user starts to listen to the music. motion.

Step 52 - The sensor detects the body motion of the user and transmits the body motion data to the host.

Step 53 - The host analyzes the body motion data by Fourier transform to obtain a body motion beat.

Step 54 - The host determines whether the body beat is consistent with the beat of the music.

Step 55a - If consistent, the host can speed up the music beat to increase the amount of exercise of the user.

Step 55b - If not, the host slows down the music beat so that the user's sports beat can follow the music beat.

Step 56 - The host determines whether it is a temporary rest period (for example, twenty seconds for every two minutes of exercise)? If yes, proceed to step 57; if no, return to step 51.

Step 57 - The music volume is reduced or the paused rhythm guides the user to pause, the host measures the heartbeat and breathing of the user, and allows the user to rest, for example, rest for twenty seconds.

Step 58 - The host determines whether the user's heartbeat and breathing reach the upper limit of the host internal value? If yes, go back to step 55b (slow the music beat so that the user's sports beat can follow the upper music beat); if not, go back to step 51.

In this way, the motion guiding method of the measurable physiological parameter claimed by the invention can determine whether the breathing and the limb movement are coordinated with the music instruction, and the applicable object is applicable to all age groups, and is particularly suitable for the elderly, the depression group or Office workers are a groundbreaking technology. Of course, the motion guiding method of the present invention does not only use music as a rhythm command, and any other method (such as image or light) that can be used to indicate the user should be included in the scope of the present invention.

The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. That is to say, the equivalent changes and modifications made by the applicant in accordance with the scope of the patent application of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent of the present invention. I would like to ask your review committee to give a clear explanation and pray for it.
