Description

Pulsmessvorrichtung  Pulse measurement device
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Pulsmessvorrichtung mit wenigstens einem Pulsmesssensor, einem Betätigungselement, einem Anzeigeelement und einer Steuereinheit. The present invention relates to a pulse measuring device with at least one pulse measuring sensor, an actuating element, a display element and a control unit.
Es ist bekannt, dass man an körperlichen Reaktionen grundsätzlich die eigentliche Einstellung einer Person zu einer Problemstellung ablesen kann. Trivial bekannt ist dies bei sehr starken Gefühlen wie Angst und dergleichen. Es ist jedoch auch anerkannt, dass sehr feine körperliche Signale zur Auswertung herangezogen werden können, um über Befindlichkeiten, Einstellungen, Wünsche und Zielvorgaben von Personen Erkenntnisse zu erlangen. It is known that you can read the physical attitude of a person to a problem. This is trivially known for very strong feelings like fear and the like. However, it is also recognized that very subtle physical signals can be used for evaluation in order to gain insights into the sensitivities, attitudes, desires and goals of individuals.
Eine der anerkannten und angewandten Methoden basiert auf der Pulsmessung. Dabei geht man davon aus, dass eine Veränderung des Pulses einer befragten Person ein Indiz über die Einstellung der Person zur Fragestellung darstellt. Pulsbeschleunigungen oder Verlangsamungen können entsprechend ausgewertet werden One of the accepted and applied methods is based on the pulse measurement. It is assumed that a change in the pulse of a questioned person is an indication of the attitude of the person to the question. Pulse accelerations or decelerations can be evaluated accordingly
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die A u f g a b e zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung bereitzustellen, mit welcher die Veränderung des Pulsschlages einer Person möglichst präzise und gegebenenfalls sogar ohne dritte Hilfe festgestellt werden kann. The present invention is based on the invention to provide a device with which the change of the pulse beat of a person can be determined as precisely as possible and possibly even without third aid.
Zur technischen L ö s u n g wird eine Pulsmessvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 vorgeschlagen. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung misst aufgrund eines ersten Eingangssignals, beispielsweise ein über das Betätigungselement gegebenes Startsignal, zum ersten Mal den Puls der Person und speichert diesen Wert. Aufgrund eines zweiten Signals, beispielsweise einer zweiten Betätigung, Zeitablauf oder dergleichen wird eine zweite Messung durchgeführt und die Veränderung des Pulses ermittelt und zur Auswertung bereitgestellt. Dies kann beispielsweise durch Anzeige des Wertes, durch quantitative Anzeigen wie rot/grün, +/- oder qualitative Anzeigen von Zahlenwerten und dergleichen erfolgen. For technical solution a pulse measuring device with the features of claim 1 is proposed. The device according to the invention measures the pulse of the person for the first time on the basis of a first input signal, for example a start signal given via the actuating element, and stores this value. On the basis of a second signal, for example a second actuation, timeout or the like, a second measurement is carried out and the change in the pulse is determined and made available for evaluation. This can be done for example by displaying the value, by quantitative displays such as red / green, +/- or qualitative display of numerical values and the like.
Im Rahmen der Erfindung kann die Veränderung des Pulses auch kontinuierlich über einen gewissen Zeitraum festgestellt und eine tendenzielle Auswertung zur Anzeige gebracht werden. In the context of the invention, the change in the pulse can also be determined continuously over a certain period of time and a tendentious evaluation can be displayed.
Es sind Untersuchungen, Methoden und Verfahren bekannt, die die Reaktionen des Körpers und deren Deutung ermöglichen, aber alle sind entweder von einer mitwirkenden Person abhängig, bergen große Unsicherheiten und/oder lassen keinen interaktiven "Dialog" zu. Eine bekannte Methode ist die Pulsuntersuchung, die in der chinesischen Medizin als Baustein in der Diagnoseerstellung einen wichtigen Platz einnimmt und für diesen Bereich schon lange bekannt ist. Nach genauer Untersuchung der Pulstastung wurde schnell klar, dass die Veränderung des Pulses eben zu wesentlich mehr genutzt werden kann als das bisher der Fall ist, nämlich um mit dem Körper in Interaktion zu treten. Examinations, methods and procedures are known which allow the body's reactions to be interpreted, but all are either dependent on a contributing person, have great uncertainties and / or do not allow for interactive "dialogue". A well-known method is the pulse examination, which occupies an important place in Chinese medicine as a building block in the diagnosis creation and for this area has long been known. After careful examination of the pulse stress, it quickly became clear that the change in the pulse can be used much more than was previously the case, namely to interact with the body.
Über die Fähigkeit den Puls und seine feinsten qualitativen Veränderungen zu deuten ist man gewissermaßen in der Lage, mit dem Körper zu kommunizieren. Die Art und Weise der Kommunikation ist selbstverständlich von einem gewissen Ablauf, Vorgehen und Leitfaden abhängig, aber sofern dieses Wissen vorhanden ist können dem Körper Fragen gestellt werden, die dieser klar und unmissverständlich beantwortet. Dabei ist es dem Benutzer praktisch nicht möglich, die Antwortqualität in irgendeiner Weise zu beeinflussen oder zu manipulieren. The ability to interpret the pulse and its finest qualitative changes is in a sense able to communicate with the body. Of course, the way of communication depends on a certain procedure, procedure and guide, but if this knowledge is available, questions can be asked to the body, which it answers clearly and unequivocally. It is practically impossible for the user to influence or manipulate the quality of the response in any way.
Auf der Basis dieser Methode ist die Erfindung ein Gerät, vorteilhaft zum Beispiel in der Form einer Armbanduhr, die über die Messung des Pulses und seiner Abweichungen verbunden mit diversen Anzeigen und einer genauen Gebrauchsanleitung die Kommunikation mit dem Körper ermöglicht. Diverse Anzeigen können zum Einsatz kommen, weil die Körperreaktion in einigen Fällen nicht nur als eindeutiges Ja oder Nein zu interpretieren ist. Die Erfindung ermöglicht es dem Nutzer, ohne fremde Hilfe auf Fragen korrekte Antworten zu erhalten. On the basis of this method, the invention is a device, advantageously, for example, in the form of a wristwatch, which allows the communication with the body via the measurement of the pulse and its deviations associated with various displays and a detailed instruction manual. Various ads can be used because in some cases the body reaction is not just a definite yes or no. The invention allows the user to get correct answers to questions without outside help.
Nimmt beispielsweise ein Nutzer Tabletten ein, weiß aber nicht ob sein Körper diese wirklich will beziehungsweise verträgt. Über die Erfindung könnte er seinen Körper direkt mit der Frage konfrontieren und würde eine klare Antwort erhalten. Wäre die Antwort z.B. ablehnend wäre die Schlussfolgerung, für den Fall, dass die Medizin verschrieben und wichtig ist, der Betroffene zu seinem Arzt geht und klärt, ob es vielleicht eine Alternative zu diesem Medikament gibt (die er besser verträgt) oder ob die Dosierung geändert werden müsste. For example, if a user takes pills, but does not know if his body really wants or tolerates them. About the invention he could confront his body directly with the question and would receive a clear answer. If the answer were e.g. The conclusion would be negative, in case the medicine is prescribed and important, the person concerned goes to his doctor and clarifies whether there is perhaps an alternative to this drug (which he tolerates better) or whether the dosage should be changed.
Gemäß weiteren Merkmalen der Erfindung kann die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung auch sonstige den Puls eines Menschen betreffende Merkmale erfassen, beispielsweise eine Pulsrhythmusanalyse machen oder eine Pulsintensitätsüberwachung. Das beschriebene Beispiel dient nur der Erläuterung und ist nicht beschränkend. Statt für Tabletten kann die Erfindung auch als Entscheidungshilfe für alle Arten von Nahrungsmitteln, Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln, Vitaminen, Mineralen, Getränke und dergleichen eingesetzt werden. Die Vorrichtung kann auch von Heilpraktikern, Therapeuten, Ernährungsberatern und Ärzten als zusätzliche Entscheidungshilfe verwendet werden. Dazu gehört beispielsweise auch die Reaktion im Hinblick auf nicht offensichtliche Allergien, Unverträglichkeiten und so weiter. According to further features of the invention, the device according to the invention may also detect other features relating to a person's pulse, for example, a pulse rhythm analysis or a pulse intensity monitoring. The example described is illustrative only and not limiting. Instead of tablets, the invention can also be used as a decision-making aid for all types of foods, dietary supplements, vitamins, minerals, drinks and the like. The device may also be used by alternative practitioners, therapists, nutritionists and physicians as additional decision support. This includes, for example, the reaction to non-obvious allergies, intolerances and so on.
Tatsächlich gibt es aber kaum Grenzen für die Ersetzbarkeit der Erfindung. Sofern die Vorgaben eingehalten werden ist das Ergebnis immer richtig, aber natürlich nur eine Momentaufnahme. In fact, there are hardly any limits to the substitutability of the invention. If the specifications are met, the result is always correct, but of course only a snapshot.
Die Erfindung kann in den unterschiedlichsten Bauformen hergestellt werden, so dass es beispielsweise auch im Rahmen der Erfindung liegt, die Funktion in eine Armbanduhr oder ein Schmuckstück zu integrieren. The invention can be made in a variety of designs, so that it is for example also within the scope of the invention to integrate the function in a wristwatch or a piece of jewelry.
Obwohl es zunächst aufwendig erscheint, würde ein Manual nur dazu dienen die grundsätzliche Anwendung zu erläutern um Fehlfunktionen und Fehlinterpretationen zu vermeiden. Ansonsten ist die Vorrichtung von einem Nutzer zu jedem Zeitpunkt in kürzester Zeit einsetzbar. Although initially complex, a manual would only serve to explain the basic application in order to avoid malfunctions and misinterpretations. Otherwise, the device can be used by a user at any time in the shortest possible time.
