智能垫及其系统 技术领域
本申请涉及一种智能垫技术领域，特别涉及一种智能垫及其系统，其系藉由智能垫内部流体之状态改变，以判断一使用者之生理状态。
背景技术
一般而言，现有的生理状态感测方式，例如利用红外线感测心跳、或藉由弹性带来感测呼吸频率，皆有一共同特征，就是必须束缚于使用者的相对特定位置，进行直接接触才能进行感测。然而，此类透过束缚的常造成使用者不便，有些情绪紧张的使用者更会因不适，而拉扯这些传感器，甚至可能于睡眠中因不舒服而扯开这些传感器，造成感测困难以及照顾者的困扰。有些症状，例如呼吸中止，是需要在睡眠中持续观察，若传感器于睡眠中扯掉，极可能失去睡眠中呼吸中止死亡的急救时机。
因此，如何能提供一种不会造成使用者困扰、与不需束缚使用者的生理状态感测技术及其相关产品，是十分重要的。

在本申请的一实施例中，所述子感应部之流道截面积，小于通道区之流道截面积。
在本申请的一实施例中，所述通道区的流道截面积，沿着通道区与子感应部之连通部分往汇集部之连通部分之方向，逐渐增加。另一实施例中，通道区的流道截面积，沿着与子感应部之连通部分往汇集部之连通部分之方向，维持不变。

为更进一步阐述本申请为达成预定发明目的所采取的技术手段及功效，以下结合附图及较佳实施例，对依据本申请提出的一种智能垫及其系统，其具体实施方式、结构、特征及其功效，详细说明如后。
本申请图1、2绘示范例性的智能垫A100之立体与顶面示意图，智能垫A100用以判断一使用者之生理状态或动作。智能垫A100包含：一感应区10，具有多个子感应部11，子感应部11间藉由多个隔离部12以彼此相分离；一通道区20，连通于子感应部11；以及一汇集部30，子感应部11内之流体F，通过通道区20连通于汇集部30。图1A虽绘示智能垫A100之外观，然其结构包含内部之流体F(虚线表示，代表其充满于智能垫A100之外观薄层内)。流体F对应生理状态或动作所产生之状态改变，藉由通道区20，传递至汇集部30。隔离部12因不包含流体F，因此隔离部12不包含流体F对应生理状态或动作所产生 之状态改变。关于流体F对应生理状态或动作所产生之状态改变，详见之后实施例之说明。
本申请图3绘示范例性的智能垫B100，其中通道区20连通于子感应部11之两端开口(虚线绘示两端开口)、或通道区20连通于一部分之子感应部11之两端开口(中间子感应部11之两端开口连通于通道区20，左、右两侧子感应部11之一端开口连通于通道区20)。通道区20之设计，用于将各子感应部11内流体F，对应生理状态或动作所产生之状态改变，藉由通道区20传递至汇集部30，以便于感测生理状态或动作。
图4绘示范例性的智能垫C100，其中子感应部11内压力波P以及通道区20内P1传递方向D、D1之间，包含一斜角A之关系。此斜角A较佳为小于90度，其可避免通道区20两侧之子感应部11间压力波P之传递方向D互相平行时，而导致互相干扰，此斜角A为便于将两侧压力波P，同步导向往信道区20内压力波P1传递方向D1前进，以放大感测效果。一实施例中，压力波P、P1也可代表子感应部11以及通道区20内压力波之波前运动状态。
图5A绘示范例性的智能垫D100。智能垫D100包含：一感应区10，具有多个子感应部11，子感应部11间藉由多个隔离部12以彼此相分离(图5A中智能垫D100之子感应部11，与图1B智能垫A100之子感应部11，其间皆藉由隔离部12以彼此分离。其相异处为：智能垫D100之子感应部11之间不连通，智能垫A100之部分子感应部11之间相互连通)；一通道区20，连通于各子感应部11；以及一汇集部30，子感应部11内之流体F，通过通道区20连通于汇集部30(图5A中智能垫D100之汇集部30，具有一缓冲区31之设计，与图1B智能垫A100之汇集部30，不具有缓冲区。缓冲区之设计，端视需要而定)。缓冲区之设计，位于汇集部30，其具有一袋状结构，以容置流体F。然而，根据本发明，缓冲区不限于汇集部30，也可设于智能垫其他位置，以连通信道区20。同样地，图5A之智能垫D100，其外观薄层之内部具有流体F(虚线表示，代表其充满于智能垫D100之薄层内)。子感应部11内充满流体F，以对应生理状态或动作所产生之状态改变，藉由通道区20，传递至汇集部30。隔离部12因不包含流体F，因此隔离部12不包含流体F对应生理状态或动作所产生之状态改变。关于流体F对应生理状态或动作所产生之状态改变，详见之后实施例之说明。
如此，本申请提供之智能垫，其操作简便、设计简单、且不会造成使用者困扰的优点。特别地，用户(未显示)可坐、躺、或卧于智能垫上，即不需要任何造成使用者困扰下，就可对使用者进行生理状态或动作之感测。
在一些实施例中，使用者之生理状态可包含使用者生理或病理状态下的心跳、脉搏、呼吸、脏器音、血压、血氧等。一般状况下，用户之心跳的频率约为1Hz，呼吸的频率约为0.1Hz。使用者之心跳或呼吸，产生来自用户之力量或位置变化之振动。无论使用者是藉由坐、躺、卧等直接接触于智能垫上，或者经由另一垫体(例如床垫、被褥等)，而间接接触于智能垫上，皆可将来自用户之力量或位置变化，传递于智能垫内之流体F，以驱使流体F产生对应之变化，例如子感应部11内流体F之压力变化或子感应部11内流体F流量变化。本发明中之生理状态，可不限于心跳或呼吸，只要是可藉由流体F之变化，以判断使用者之生理状态，皆可应用本发明所提供之技术以进行感测。
在一些实施例中，使用智能垫时，使用者与智能垫间相对位置，可与流体F整体流向汇集部30之方向同向(例如图5C)、或不同向(例如图5D)。当不同向时，因左右感测部位之不同，可分别产生流体F之不同变化，又可判断使用者之翻身等动作变化、或分别判断左右不同之感测值。又例如图5D中，智能垫所放置的位置，可依据用户的主要感测位置，如此可产生敏感度较高之感测结果。
在一些实施例中，本申请所判断使用者之生理状态，也可包含呼吸中止之判断，其可依据时域(Time domain)或频域(Frequency domain)之讯号特征，以判断用户是否为呼吸中止。当判断呼吸中止，可及时送出警示讯号，提醒进行紧急抢救，避免错过抢救黄金时间。
在一些实施例中，当使用者为孕妇，可分别用于感测孕妇与腹内胎儿，进行孕妇与腹内胎儿脉搏、呼吸之感测。如此，胎儿心脏功能发育尚未成熟可提前感测，且不需要任何对使用者具有侵入性或干扰性的步骤。进一步，出生后婴儿部分因呼吸不顺而发生窒息、或呛奶而产生死亡等重要生理状态，都可藉由智能垫感测而实时提醒进行抢救处理。
在一些实施例中，使用者之动作，例如用户相对于一物体的接触、不接触、接触和不接触时施加重力、接触时移动身体等姿势的改变、或使用者身体躯干或四肢的各种方向转动、摆动、搏动、抖动、体内之肌肉颤动、收缩、磨牙、 或睡眠状态等。都可藉由本发明所提供之智能垫予以感测。例如病患之使用者长时间躺卧床上时，长时间保持一固定姿势易造成褥疮。褥疮通常发生于身体表面长期压迫处，此些长期压迫处须靠持续定期移动病患，才能减缓其症状。然而，长期压迫处藏于使用者与床之间，不易靠外观判断，而需藉由移动病患才能检查是否有褥疮。藉由本发明对使用者之动作感测，当使用者长时间没移动身体，发出警告讯息，提醒照顾者，检查病患是否有褥疮，以及协助病患翻身。
在一些实施例中，图5B中通道区20，连通于子感应部11之方式，为信道区20连通于子感应部11之一端开口(虚线为截面中薄层之示意)。此外，图3之智能垫B100的通道区20，连通于子感应部11之两端开口、或连通于部分子感应部11之两端开口。子感应部11内充满流体F，以对应生理状态或动作所产生之状态改变，藉由通道区20，传递至汇集部30。此外，智能垫A100中信道区20连通至子感应部11之方式，也类似于智能垫B100、D100，其详细内容可参照图3、5B之说明而类推。
在一些实施例中，参照图3，隔离部12内部可不容置流体F，而包含子感应部11间之隔离槽、或子感应部11间之隔离垫121、或两者之结合。前述之隔离垫121，可以增大来自使用者的生理状态或动作所产生之力量或位置变化之接受面积，以传递于隔离垫121侧边的子感应部11内之流体F，藉此加强智能垫B100的感测敏感度。
在一些实施例中，所述隔离部12内部可包含另一流体(未显示)，此另一流体不连通于感应区10、通道区20、以及汇集部30。一实施例中，此另一流体，具有其独立之功能，例如可为调温用的流体。实施时，另一流体可依需要而个别设计，例如气体与液体，其实施方式，可依需要而定。一实施例中，隔离部12不包含封闭设置的另一流体，而是子感应部11间挖空之隔离槽。例如，图1、3、4中隔离部12为子感应部11间之隔离槽。
在一些实施例中，所述流体F，可包含液体或气体，气体中可包含惰性或非惰性气体。流体之选择，可视需要而定，例如是否方便取得之流体等。
在一些实施例中，所述子感应部11内流体F对应生理状态或动作所产生之状态改变，为子感应部11内流体F之压力变化。例如，子感应部11内流体F对应生理状态或动作所产生之状态改变，为根据心跳或呼吸频率所产生的压力波 P。子感应部11内压力波P，通过子感应部11连通通道区20之开口(参照图3、4、5B)，传递至通道区20。子感应部11内压力波P，以及通道区20内压力波P1，皆有其传递方向D、D1。
参照图1、2之智能垫A100，其通道区20位于智能垫A100之两侧，其中子感应部11内压力波P，以及通道区20内压力波P1，其传递方向则不受前述之角度限制。
在一些实施例中，当所述子感应部11内流体F对应生理状态或动作所产生之状态改变，为子感应部11内流体F之压力变化。本发明之隔离部12，具有降低压力波P快速直接冲击汇集部30，避免此快速直接冲击造成传感器之感测结果不准确。前述之缓冲区31，也具有降低压力波P快速直接冲击汇集部30之效果。另一实施例中，当缓冲区31可能导致所汇集之压力波P不足以感测时，则智能垫可不包含缓冲区之设计。
在一些实施例中，本申请之感测方式，不限于压力波，也可藉由子感应部11内流体F之流量变化，以进行感测，例如图3之智能垫B100。使用者之心跳或呼吸之振动，产生一力量或位置变化，传递于各子感应部11内之流体F，以驱使各子感应部11内之流体F产生对应之流量变化。子感应部11内之流体F之流量变化，连通于通道区20，再连通至汇集部30(此实施例中，汇集部30可选择性具有缓冲区31之设计)。感应区10、通道区20、以及缓冲区31内之流体F，为对智能垫B100对外部封闭之一内部流体。当子感应部11内之流体F受挤压而流量降低，挤压之流体F流至信道区20，信道区20流体F被挤压至缓冲区31，因此缓冲区31内之流体F流量增加。又，当挤压降低时，缓冲区31内流体F，经由通道区20，向子感应部11内回流。
在一些实施例中，根据缓冲区31内流体F流量之增减而进行感测的方式中，子感应部11同步也会有压力波P之产生，通道区20两侧之子感应部11间压力波P之传递方向D是否互相平行，对缓冲区31内流体F流量增减之影响较有限。故斜角A不受限于低于90度，使用者可根据需要而决定其角度。
在一些实施例中，所述子感应部11内流体F对应生理状态或动作所产生之状态改变，为子感应部11内流体之压力变化。参照图4，通道区20内包含一整压部21，以调整通道区20内压力波P1之分配。整压部21之设计，在于调整 通道区20内压力波P1之分布，皆朝传递方向D1前进，而不会相互干扰。其中整压部21可设计为通道区20内一槽状结构、或其他具有配压功能之结构。整压部21不须受限于图式中之数量、设置位置或形状，可依需要而决定其数量、设置位置或形状。整压部之设计，为一选择性之设计。通道区设计也可设计为不需要整压部，以传递子感应部11内流体F对应生理状态或动作所产生之状态改变。
在一些实施例中，所述各子感应部11之流道截面11a之截面积(参照图5B中子感应部11之开口，对应于开口之截面积)，小于通道区20之流道截面20a之截面积。一实施例中，通道区20之流道截面20a之截面积，小于汇集部30中缓冲区31的流道截面30a之截面积。各子感应部11之流道截面11a之截面积，可依需要而相同、或者可具有多个不同之截面积。而前述之各子感应部11之流道截面11a之截面积，可为各子感应部11之平均截面积、或依照流体力学算出的等效截面积。其中，通道区20之流道截面20a之截面积与缓冲区31之流道截面30a之截面积，可为平均截面积、或依照流体力学算出的等效截面积。
在一些实施例中，所述通道区20的流道截面积，沿着与子感应部11之连通部分往汇集部30之连通部分之方向(例如，平行于图4中传递方向D)，逐渐增加。或者，通道区20的流道截面积，沿着与子感应部11之连通部分往汇集部30之连通部分之方向，维持不变(图3)。
在一些实施例中，所述开口或截面之几何形状，不须受限于图式中之样式，可依需要而决定其几何形状。
在一些实施例中，所述感应区、通道区、以及汇集部之材料，较佳的是包含高分子材料，例如橡胶或塑料等，此高分子材料之硬度概略为68～74PHR(Parts per hundreds of rubber/resin)。前述之概略，可代表例如以70PHR为中间值的一误差范围内之硬度。例如，10％之误差范围、或20％之误差范围等，皆为高分子材料硬度的可接受范围。
在一些实施例中，本申请可依据感测汇集部30内流体F之状态改变，直接判断使用者之生理状态或动作。例如，在汇集部30内设置一传感器(图4)，并将感测结果传送至外面，更进一步处理。然而，本发明之实施不限于此，也可于汇集部30之外部进行感测与判断使用者之生理状态或动作。
在本申请一实施例中，提供一种智能垫系统，用以判断一用户之生理状 态或动作。根据图6，智能垫系统1000包含：一流体感测单元210，包含一感应区10、一通道区20、以及一汇集部30，通道区20连通于感应区10与汇集部30之间，通道区20将感应区10内流体F对应生理状态或动作所产生之状态改变，传递至汇集部30；一管线220，具有至少一层之管壁221，连通于汇集部30之流体F；一处理单元230，藉由管线220以连通汇集部30以判断流体F状态之状态改变，并根据流体F之状态改变，判断生理状态或动作。其中，感应区10、通道区20、以及汇集部30之说明，请参照前述实施例之详细内容。
在一些实施例中，所述管线220，用于将汇集部30内流体F之状态改变，连通至处理单元230，以判断用户之生理状态或动作，其中管线220具有至少一层之管壁221。图7A绘示之一实施例中，显示管线220之一部分，其中管线220包含一层结构之管壁221，此管壁221兼具封闭内部之流体F、以及管线220隔离外部以避免干扰流体F状态改变之效果。图7B绘示之另一实施例中，管线220具有至少两层结构之管壁：一内层管壁221封闭内部之流体F，一外层管壁222隔离管线220外部以避免干扰传递流体F之状态改变。内层管壁221与外层管壁222可为密贴之结合方式、或管壁221、222为彼此隔离之何方式。一实施例中，内层管壁221相对于外层管壁222，为一较软材质所制作，以降低对流体F压力之影响、或流体F流量变化之影响。一实施例中，内层管壁221与外层管壁222之间，可为空气、多孔材料(例如海绵、泡棉等)、或填充降噪材料。
在一些实施例中，所述处理单元230，可依需要而决定感测之方式，例如一压力传感器、或流量传感器。压力传感器可判断管线221内流体F压力之改变。流量传感器可判断，因感应区10内流体F流量之改变，造成管线220以及其内流体F之流量改变。或者，感应区10内流体F流量之改变，造成缓冲区30、以及管线220其内流体F位置之流量改变。如此，处理单元230可判断用户之生理状态与动作。
在一些实施例中，所述传感器可包含一O型环(O-ring)，以增加智能垫系统内流体F之封闭效果，也可加强对流体F之压力或流量之感测效果。
在一些实施例中，本申请之智能垫，也可依需要而包含收音器(未显示，可依需要而决定设置位置)，例如：麦克风、或压力传感器，以辅助判断打鼾或呼吸中止情形。本案之智能垫，也可依需要而包含红外传感器(未显示，可依需 要而决定设置位置)，以持续性的感测特别部位体温，以提高褥疮的判断准确率。
在一些实施例中，本申请之智能垫，也可依流体对应生理状态与对应动作所产生之状态改变，感测起床时跌倒、或猝死征兆之状态，而提醒进行紧急处置。
在一些实施例中，另一使用者(例如看护人员)，可藉由电子装置上APP(应用程序)，于其接口中得知用户的生理状态或动作。APP可以藉由因特网、电信网络、物联网(例如，通过物联网协议，如WIFI、Wi-SUN、Modbus、Zigbee、IQRF、Thread、ZWAVE、BACnet、LonWorks、M-bus、DALI、EnOcean、RS485、RS232或KNX)、或连接到智能垫的任何有线/无线信号传输，接收用户的生理状态或动作。请参考图8，一实施例中，看护人员可藉由点选APP选项进入应用程序，进入应用程序后以建立或进入账户。建立或进入帐户成功后，应用程序连接到智能垫以接受信息，在电子装置的用户接口中显示用户的生理状态或动作。看护人员可直接从应用程序获得这些信息而不需打扰用户。如果发生紧急状况，护理人员可以尽快进行急救。重要的，看护人员可以在不经常访视使用者床位的情况下，仍可获得使用者的生理状态或动作。图式与其显示仅为示意之目的，若需要，也可根据本发明之揭露内容设计不同之使用接口，其皆属于本发明所揭露之范围内。
“在一些实施例中”及“在各种实施例中”等用语被重复地使用。此用语通常不是指相同的实施例；但它也可以是指相同的实施例。“包含”、“具有”及“包括”等用词是同义词，除非其前后文意显示出其它意思。
以上所述，仅是本申请具体的实施例而已，并非对本申请作任何形式上的限制，虽然本申请已以具体的实施例揭露如上，然而并非用以限定本申请，任何熟悉本专业的技术人员，在不脱离本申请技术方案范围内，当可利用上述揭示的技术内容作出些许更动或修饰为等同变化的等效实施例，但凡是未脱离本申请技术方案的内容，依据本申请的技术实质对以上实施例所作的任何简单修改、等同变化与修饰，均仍属于本申请技术方案的范围内。
工业实用性
