Translated fromChinese技术领域technical field
本发明涉及一种便携式生理信号监测设备，尤其是涉及一种利用分布式结构减轻使用者将设备背负在身上时所感受的重量的分布式生理信号监测设备。The invention relates to a portable physiological signal monitoring device, in particular to a distributed physiological signal monitoring device which uses a distributed structure to reduce the weight felt by the user when the device is carried on the body.
背景技术Background technique
随着现代人对于健康的重视，以及老年化社会的来临，生理信号监测尤其是多重生理信号监测的需求在现代生活中显得越来越重要，如睡眠障碍的检测就需要使用多重生理信号监测，但是，公知的多重生理信号监测设备却具有相当多的缺点。With modern people's emphasis on health and the advent of an aging society, the demand for physiological signal monitoring, especially multiple physiological signal monitoring, is becoming more and more important in modern life. For example, the detection of sleep disorders requires the use of multiple physiological signal monitoring. However, known multiple physiological signal monitoring devices have considerable disadvantages.
以最传统的多重生理信号监测设备来看，其实就只是将所要检测的各种生理信号的感测装置集合在一起而已，因此，使用者身边会放满各种感测装置，而在进行测量时，使用者就得将所有的电极/传感器通过连接线设置在身上，所以，使用者身上会因布满了各种连接线而使得行动受限。再者，若在测量期间需要移动时，即等于需要重新进行连接线的配接，这除了让使用者觉得不方便之外，对进行配接的医护人员而言也相当麻烦，因此，这事实上是一项相当复杂的测量行为。另外，具有多个电极的单一种生理信号监测装置也同样会有如此的困扰，举例而言，一般的脑电生理信号检测就需要在使用者头部配置相当多的电极，再加上头上电极的位置配置不易，因此，若需要重新进行配接也将会是一大工程。From the perspective of the most traditional multiple physiological signal monitoring equipment, it is actually just a collection of sensing devices for various physiological signals to be detected. Therefore, various sensing devices will be placed around the user, and the measurement In this case, the user has to set all the electrodes/sensors on the body through the connecting wires, so the user's body is covered with various connecting wires and the movement is limited. Furthermore, if it is necessary to move during the measurement period, it is equivalent to the need to re-match the connecting wires. This is not only inconvenient for the user, but also quite troublesome for the medical staff who do the matching. Therefore, this fact The above is a rather complex measurement behavior. In addition, a single physiological signal monitoring device with multiple electrodes will also have such troubles. For example, general brain electrophysiological signal detection requires a considerable number of electrodes to be arranged on the user's head. It is not easy to configure the location, so it will be a big project if it needs to be re-mated.
或者，有进一步改良的设备，其将装置小型化，并将其整合成一个稍小的机器，从而在测量时可放置在身边或是直接背在身上，不过，即使是通过如此的方式，机器仍然具有相当的重量，背负在身上所造成的重量感并不会使得使用者觉得较为方便。再不就是，即使体积已经获得缩小，但放置在身边而利用连接线接触的方式还是限制了使用者的移动性，因此，在对于多重生理信号监测设备需求越来越大的未来，如何让这种多重生理信号监测变得更为简便、轻巧、容易实施，的确是需要实现的目标。Or, there are further improved devices that miniaturize the device and integrate it into a slightly smaller machine that can be placed by your side or directly on your back when measuring, but even in this way, the machine It still has a considerable weight, and the feeling of weight caused by carrying it on the body does not make the user feel more convenient. What's more, even though the size has been reduced, the way of placing it around and using the connecting wire to contact still limits the mobility of the user. Therefore, in the future where there is an increasing demand for multiple physiological signal monitoring equipment, how to make this kind of Multiple physiological signal monitoring becomes simpler, lighter, and easier to implement, which is indeed a goal that needs to be achieved.
因此，本发明的目的即在于提供一种生理信号监测设备，其不但轻巧，而且设置于使用者身上时，具有重量分散以及可随人体弯曲的特性。Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a physiological signal monitoring device, which is not only lightweight, but also has the characteristics of weight distribution and can be bent with the body when placed on the user's body.
另外，本发明的另一目的则是在于提供一种利用分布式概念作为配置原则的生理信号监测设备，通过分布式的配置，使得重量可以分散的分配，进而实现负重感降低的效果。In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a physiological signal monitoring device using the distributed concept as a configuration principle. Through the distributed configuration, the weight can be distributed in a decentralized manner, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the sense of weight.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
通过下面的实施例可以使本领域普通技术人员充分理解并实施本发明，不过本发明并不限制于下述具体实施例。Those skilled in the art can fully understand and implement the present invention through the following examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following specific examples.
本发明提供一种分布式生理信号监测设备，以取代传统沉重的设备，并使得使用者在进行生理信号监测时，即使将所有的装置都安置于身上仍然不会感到负担，以增加使用者使用时的舒适度以及移动性。The invention provides a distributed physiological signal monitoring device to replace the traditional heavy equipment, so that the user will not feel burdened even if all the devices are placed on the body when monitoring the physiological signal, so as to increase the user's usage comfort and mobility.
所以，在此原则下，根据本发明构思的该分布式生理信号监测设备包括至少一个用于操作的单元及多个生理信号传感器，其中，该操作单元依附于一基体上而形成一结合体，以设置在使用者的四肢、头部或躯体上，至于该多个生理信号感测装置则是可以实施为电极和/或传感器。Therefore, under this principle, the distributed physiological signal monitoring device according to the concept of the present invention includes at least one unit for operation and a plurality of physiological signal sensors, wherein the operation unit is attached to a substrate to form a combination, The plurality of physiological signal sensing devices can be implemented as electrodes and/or sensors.
其中，该用以操作的单元所依附的该基体可以实施为各种形式，举例而言，但不限于，带体形式(例如，用以环绕于躯体、四肢、头部者，或背带等)，包覆形式的材质(例如，可同时紧密结合包覆单元的硅胶等)，贴片形式等，并且，若有多个操作单元时，所述单元之间的连接线还可以隐藏于带体中，或是受到紧密结合包覆。此外，该基体还可以实施为可弯曲且具弹性，以便随着人体曲线弯曲且紧密结合，进而提供使用者在背负该操作单元时的舒适度，举例而言，可直接进行电路配置的柔性PCB就是其中的一种选择。而在此要提醒的是，当使用类似柔性PCB的选择时，所有的线路都将可以直接设置在该柔性PCB上，而无须多余的连接线，不过，该柔性PCB也可以仅用于连接所述单元，而再配合其它选择作为基体。Wherein, the base body on which the unit for operation is attached can be implemented in various forms, for example, but not limited to, a belt form (for example, for wrapping around the body, limbs, head, or straps, etc.) , the material of the covering form (for example, silica gel that can be tightly combined with the covering unit at the same time), patch form, etc., and, if there are multiple operating units, the connecting lines between the units can also be hidden in the belt body in, or covered by tight binding. In addition, the base body can also be implemented to be bendable and elastic, so as to be bent and tightly combined with the curve of the human body, thereby providing comfort for the user when carrying the operating unit, for example, a flexible PCB that can directly configure the circuit It is one of the options. What I want to remind here is that when using a choice similar to a flexible PCB, all lines will be directly set on the flexible PCB without redundant connecting wires, however, the flexible PCB can also be used only to connect all The above units, and then with other options as the matrix.
接下来，有关生理信号的监测部分，正如所熟知的，完成生理信号监测所需者不外乎：电源的提供，及信号的获取、数字模拟转换、放大、储存、分析等，因此，根据本发明的原则，具有这些功能的模块即秉持着小体积、轻便的原则而分布于该基体上的该操作单元中。Next, regarding the monitoring part of the physiological signal, as we all know, what is required to complete the monitoring of the physiological signal is nothing more than: the supply of power, the acquisition of the signal, digital-to-analog conversion, amplification, storage, analysis, etc. Therefore, according to this According to the principle of the invention, the modules with these functions are distributed in the operation unit on the base in accordance with the principles of small volume and portability.
至于如何进行分布，以及每个模块的数量多少，则有完全自由的发挥空间，也就是说，每一种模块的数量并不受限为一个，且每一种模块也不受限为只存在于一个单元中，完全可以视所需数量、配置方式、测量质量等实际因素而进行调整。因此，接下来所举例说明的各种实施例都仅是可能的优选实施方式，而非实施的必要条件。As for how to distribute and the number of each module, there is complete freedom to play, that is to say, the number of each type of module is not limited to one, and each type of module is not limited to only exist In a unit, it can be adjusted according to actual factors such as the required quantity, configuration method, and measurement quality. Therefore, the various embodiments exemplified in the following are only possible preferred implementations, rather than necessary conditions for implementation.
首先，根据本发明上述的该操作单元可以实施为三个以上的个数，进行如此配置的原因在于：当一个装置与多个但总重相同的装置一起进行比较时，对于负重的人体而言，自然是将重量分散分布的多个装置会是比较轻松的负担，而且，若是能将一个装置在不减少功能的情形下分开成为多个装置的话，负重的人体还可以体验到优选的贴附人体曲线的特性。First of all, according to the present invention, the above-mentioned operating unit can be implemented as more than three. The reason for such configuration is that when one device is compared with a plurality of devices with the same total weight, it is difficult for a heavy-bearing human body Naturally, multiple devices that distribute weight will be a relatively easy burden, and if one device can be divided into multiple devices without reducing the function, the weight-bearing human body can also experience optimal attachment The characteristics of the human body curve.
图1即为显示以三个操作单元实施本发明的一个实例，其是根据本发明分布式生理信号监测设备的结合体的第一实施例，而在该基体1上所包括的三个(但不受限)彼此相互电连接单元的主要作用为：单元10用以有线连接生理信号感测装置；单元12包括一具有无线收发功能及模拟数字转换功能的处理模块；单元14包括用以提供电源的电池。Fig. 1 shows an example of implementing the present invention with three operating units, which is the first embodiment of the combination of distributed physiological signal monitoring equipment according to the present invention, and the three (but three) included on the
在此要注意的是，虽然图1所示为三个单元的情形，但同理，只要是三个以上的单元都适用于此。基本原则是，符合重量分散以及顺应人体曲线的特性且配置方便即可。It should be noted here that although FIG. 1 shows the situation of three units, the same principle applies to this as long as there are more than three units. The basic principle is that it only needs to conform to the characteristics of weight distribution and conform to the curve of the human body and be convenient to configure.
单元10是所述生理信号感测装置与处理模块之间进行有线连接的媒介，也就是说，当所述生理信号感测装置利用有线的方式进行信号传送时，在该结合体中用以插接所述生理信号传感器装置的连接线、且用以接收所述生理信号的部件，即为该具有对应数量插接脚位的单元10。The
在此实施例中，单元12通过包括一至少具有模拟数字转换功能的处理模块而进行整个设备的核心运作，且由单元10所接收的生理信号会进入单元12中，以进行基本的模拟数字转换以及其它的相关处理。而除了这些数据上的处理之外，该单元12中的该处理模块还可以具有无线收发功能，以让该生理信号监测设备具备无线收发的功能，因此，该生理信号监测设备可以拥有与外部设备进行无线沟通的能力，在此情形下，就可以完成生理信号的实时对外传送，也就是说，在无须对外进行连接的情形下，就可以将生理信号传送至计算机、PDA等外部接收设备，如此一来，使用者更是完全不会有行动受限于连接线的烦恼。In this embodiment, the unit 12 performs the core operation of the entire device by including a processing module with at least an analog-to-digital conversion function, and the physiological signal received by the
而且，除了上述的情形之外，若是所述生理信号感测装置中包含具有无线收发功能的传感器时，则在该单元12中的该无线收发模块还可用以接收该无线传感器利用无线方式所传送的生理信号，此时，生理信号的接收就不需要通过该单元10的插接模块，而通过该单元12的该无线收发模块。Moreover, in addition to the above-mentioned situation, if the physiological signal sensing device includes a sensor with a wireless transceiver function, the wireless transceiver module in the unit 12 can also be used to receive the signal transmitted by the wireless sensor in a wireless manner. At this time, the physiological signal does not need to be received through the plug-in module of the
单元14则主要是用作电源供应。在根据本发明的生理信号监测设备中，为了更进一步实现移动时无须拆除连接线以及不受限制的概念，在单元14中，用以提供整个生理信号监测设备的电源的是一电池，因此，充电程序是在离开使用者身体的情形下进行(当然，也因此符合了电性隔离的需求)，并且，也无须将整个结合体自使用者身上拆下即可实现充电，只需更换上已充满的电池即可继续进行测量程序。此外，本发明还可实施为，具有该电池的该单元14可以单独地从该结合体上拆卸下来(在此，同样的，该具有该电池的单元14也具有可更换性)，如此一来，除了充电的程序外，还可以通过在该单元14中所配置的具有其它功能的模块而实现其它程序。举例而言，当该具有电池的单元14中还具有一内存时，就可以实现在充电的同时进行内存读取的工作，或者是，在该具有电池的单元14中还可以再包括一无线收发模块(除了单元12中的该无线收发模块之外)，因此，就可将与外部设备之间的无线传输工作交给单元14，当然，反之亦然，也就是说，单元12以及单元14之间有关无线传输工作的分配，并没有绝对的限制，也可以是单元14负责与无线传感器间的沟通，而单元12负责与外部设备间的沟通，或者仅有一个单元(12或14)负责所有的无线传输业务。不过，在此要特别叙述的是，由于该单元14设计为可以从该结合体分离，因此，若是由其负责对外部设备的无线传输业务时，则有关无线传输前所需的前置设定及沟通(在此，称之为配对程序)除了可以利用无线配对的方式实现外，还可以通过分离而以接触配对的方式实现，而这也将使得整个设计更具弹性。Unit 14 is mainly used as a power supply. In the physiological signal monitoring device according to the present invention, in order to further realize the concept of not needing to remove the connecting wire and unlimited when moving, in unit 14, a battery is used to provide the power supply of the entire physiological signal monitoring device, therefore, The charging process is carried out while leaving the user's body (of course, it also meets the requirements of electrical isolation), and the charging can be realized without removing the entire combination from the user's body, and only needs to be replaced. The measurement procedure can be continued with a fully charged battery. In addition, the present invention can also be implemented as that the unit 14 with the battery can be detached from the combination separately (here, the same, the unit 14 with the battery also has replaceability), so that , in addition to the charging program, other programs can also be implemented through modules with other functions configured in the unit 14 . For example, when there is also a memory in the unit 14 with the battery, the work of reading the memory while charging can be realized, or a wireless transceiver can be included in the unit 14 with the battery module (except the wireless transceiver module in unit 12), therefore, the wireless transmission work with external equipment can be handed over to unit 14, of course, and vice versa, that is to say, between unit 12 and unit 14 There is no absolute limit to the distribution of wireless transmission work between the wireless sensors, and the unit 14 is responsible for communication with the wireless sensor, and the unit 12 is responsible for the communication with the external device, or only one unit (12 or 14) is responsible for all wireless transmission services. However, what needs to be specially stated here is that since the unit 14 is designed to be detachable from the combined body, if it is responsible for the wireless transmission service to the external device, then the required presettings before the wireless transmission And communication (here, referred to as pairing procedure) can not only be realized by wireless pairing, but also can be realized by contact pairing through separation, and this will also make the whole design more flexible.
然而，要特别注意地是，由于各单元之间是彼此相互电连接，因此，各个功能模块的设置可有相当大的弹性，以符合实际需求为原则，例如，图2即为另一种可能的实施方式，其中，由于可能需要许多的插接位置，因此，插接位置就被分散在两个单元上，所以，详细的模块分配并非绝对，符合结构分散的原则才是本发明此实施例的精神所在。However, special attention should be paid to the fact that since each unit is electrically connected to each other, the setting of each functional module can be quite flexible, and it is based on the principle of meeting actual needs. For example, Fig. 2 is another possibility In this embodiment, since many plug-in positions may be required, the plug-in positions are scattered on the two units, so the detailed module allocation is not absolute, and this embodiment of the present invention conforms to the principle of structural dispersion where the spirit lies.
在上述结构的实施例中，本发明针对公知技术所提出的分散基础在于：将原本需要很大体积的主机等设备，分散成为小体积的数个单元，使得重量获得分散，也使得其比较符合人体曲线，如此一来，即使使用者将其全部配戴于身上也不会感觉到负担，而且，很重要的是，通过这样的配置方式，让使用者在受试时身上完全无须对外的联机，并且，使用者在完成电极/传感器的配置后，行动仍然不会受到限制，而且，例如充电、数据读取分析等作业，都可以在不需将该结合体以及众多电极/传感器拆下的情形下轻松完成。In the above-mentioned embodiment of the structure, the basis of the dispersion proposed by the present invention for the known technology is to disperse the equipment such as the host computer that originally needs a large volume into several units with a small volume, so that the weight is dispersed and it is more in line with Human body curve, in this way, even if the user wears it all on the body, it will not feel burdened, and, very importantly, through this configuration, the user does not need to connect to the outside world at all during the test. , and after the user completes the configuration of the electrodes/sensors, his actions will still not be restricted, and operations such as charging, data reading and analysis, etc., can be performed without dismantling the combination and many electrodes/sensors. Situation is easily done.
本发明的构思实施为三个以上的单元的情形，除了图1、图2所举例说明的实施例之外，还可有各式各样的实施方式，后面将会举例说明其中的一些实例。In the case where the concept of the present invention is implemented as more than three units, in addition to the embodiments illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , there may be various implementations, some of which will be illustrated later.
接下来，根据本发明的构思，该操作单元的数量也可以实施为两个。Next, according to the concept of the present invention, the number of the operating units can also be implemented as two.
如图3所示，该基体1上依附有两个相互电连接的操作单元30、32，其中，单元30用以有线连接生理信号感测装置，并可包括一具有模拟数字转换功能的处理模块，单元32具有用以提供电源的电池，以及一具有无线收发功能的处理模块。As shown in FIG. 3 , two operating units 30 and 32 electrically connected to each other are attached to the
在此，该单元30等于是上述单元10、12的结合，也就是说，有线生理信号的接收、模拟数字转换以及相关处理等都在此单元30上完成，且由于单元10、12的功能已于先前详述，因此不多做赘述。不过，要强调的是，若在生理信号监测的过程中有无线传感器参与，则该单元30中的处理模块一样可以相应地具有无线收发的功能。再者，该单元32类似于上述的单元14，同样可以与该基体1分离，以独立地对内部电池进行充电(同时避免了电性隔离的问题)。Here, the unit 30 is equivalent to the combination of the above-mentioned
而在此情形下，更优选地，该单元32中还可以包括一内存，因此，当该电池与该基体分离时，内存的存取也可以独立地在外部进行，不过，内存当然也可以配置在该单元30中，然后，再利用单元32或单元30的无线收发功能进行对外传输、或是直接实施为一抽取式内存，或者，也可以将生理信号实时地对外进行传输。再者，由于该单元32可以与该基体分离，因此，其与外部设备在进行传输之前的配对程序也同样地除了无线配对方式之外，也可利用接触配对的方式完成。In this case, more preferably, a memory can also be included in the unit 32. Therefore, when the battery is separated from the base body, the access to the memory can also be independently performed externally. However, the memory can also be configured In the unit 30, the unit 32 or the wireless transceiver function of the unit 30 is used for external transmission, or directly implemented as a removable memory, or the physiological signal can also be transmitted externally in real time. Furthermore, since the unit 32 can be separated from the base body, the pairing process between the unit 32 and the external device before transmission can also be completed by contact pairing in addition to wireless pairing.
而在上述两个操作单元结构的实施例中，除了将操作主机分散的原则之外，本发明针对公知技术所提出的分散基础在于：从既有的装置中特别地分离出会造成测量中断和/或必须要将身上所配置的电极/传感器和/或装置等拆下才能实现的程序，例如充电、内存存取、接触配对等，以让使用者可以在不影响已配置好的电极/传感器的情形下仍然可以实现这些程序，并且，其行动力也一样不会受限。In the above-mentioned embodiments of the two operating unit structures, in addition to the principle of dispersing the operating host, the basis of the dispersal proposed by the present invention for the known technology is that it is specially separated from the existing devices that will cause measurement interruption and /or procedures that can only be realized by removing the electrodes/sensors and/or devices configured on the body, such as charging, memory access, contact pairing, etc., so that the user can operate without affecting the configured electrodes/sensors These programs can still be implemented under the circumstances of , and their actions will not be limited.
最后，该操作单元的数量还可以实施为一个，如图4所示。Finally, the number of the operation unit can also be implemented as one, as shown in FIG. 4 .
该基体1上仅有的一个单元40为上述多个单元的集合，所以，其不但可与该基体1分离，也包括了所有的功能，因此，其不但可以有线地连接至生理感测装置，同时也可以无线地连接至具无线传输功能的传感器以及外部的无线设备，以减少连接线的数量，也确保使用者的移动性。而在此情形中，由于有部分的传感器因为具有无线传输功能而从该操作单元40中分离出去，使得该单元40的体积减少，而且现今电子元件的制造技术已经使得体积越来越微小化，再加上将许多种生理信号监测所需的电路集合在一起可以省掉一些共同电路所占的空间，因此，即使此实施例仅采用一个操作单元，在体积上也不会有如传统设备般庞大，仍然可以达到背负在使用者身上不会感到负担的程度。此外，更进一步地，在此单元40中所具有的电池以及内存还可以整合成为一可与该单元40分离的子单元401，以使得充电、内存读取等程序依然可以独立地在外部进行并进行更换，而无须对整个单元40进行充电，甚至，在该子单元40中还可以整合一无线收发功能，以利用接触配对的方式实现该单元40的无线传输的前置配对程序。The only unit 40 on the
所以，在根据本发明的生理信号监测设备的该基体上，可以依附有各种不同数量的操作单元，但依然符合分散的原则，因为无论是操作单元本身的分散，或是随着传感器的无线化所产生的分散，都达到让该生理信号监测设备更容易设置在使用者身体上的效果，也让使用者由于这样的设置而可在进行测量时行动不再受限，并且，更重要的是，不需要牺牲任何想要检测的生理信号。Therefore, on the substrate of the physiological signal monitoring device according to the present invention, various operating units can be attached, but still conform to the principle of decentralization, because whether it is the dispersion of the operating unit itself, or with the wireless connection of the sensor The dispersion generated by the transformation can achieve the effect of making the physiological signal monitoring equipment easier to set on the user's body, and also allows the user to be able to move without being restricted when performing measurements due to such a setting, and, more importantly, Yes, without sacrificing any physiological signal you want to detect.
现在，即针对实际应用的情况做出一些详细实例的说明。Now, some detailed examples are given for the actual application.
实例1Example 1
当根据本发明的生理信号监测设备实施为一多重睡眠检测设备(polysomnograph，PSG)时，则包括的生理信号监测项目会有：心电检测(ECG)、脑电检测(EEG)、肌电检测(EMG)、眼动检测(EOG)、呼吸检测、鼾声检测、胸腹呼吸检测、血氧检测、移动检测(包括躯体移动、四肢移动以及头部移动)等，因此，在此情形下，根据本发明的结构，该结合体可以实施为如图5所示，而其实际于人体的实施方式则是如图6所示。在此实施例中，如图1的提供电极/传感器插接位置的单元10被分开为两个，使得操作单元个数变为4，而其中，如图5以及图6所示，在所述的两个用以插接的单元54以及56所分别具有的插接位置中，单元54包括：EEG60、EOG61、EMG62、ECG63以及四肢移动检测64(通常会设置在脚部，可以检测移动或是肌电)，而单元56包括：呼吸检测65、鼾声检测66、胸腹呼吸检测67，68、血氧检测69。另外，单元50中包括有电池、内存以及具有无线收发功能的处理模块，而单元52中则包括有具有模拟数字转换功能的处理模块，以及特别是直接位于该单元52中用以进行躯体的移动检测的传感器521。此外，若需要设置头部移动传感器时(未显示)，则设置在使用者的头部上。When the physiological signal monitoring device according to the present invention is implemented as a multiple sleep detection device (polysomnograph, PSG), the physiological signal monitoring items included will have: electrocardiogram detection (ECG), electroencephalogram detection (EEG), myoelectricity detection (EMG), eye movement detection (EOG), breathing detection, snoring detection, chest and abdomen breathing detection, blood oxygen detection, movement detection (including body movement, limb movement and head movement), etc. Therefore, in this case, According to the structure of the present invention, the combination can be implemented as shown in FIG. 5 , while its actual implementation in the human body is shown in FIG. 6 . In this embodiment, the
不过，在此要特别说明的是，虽然图5中清楚的指出每个单元中所插接的生理信号感测装置的种类，但是，此仅是其中的一种可能性，仅用于举例说明，并不表示特定的限制。However, it should be particularly noted here that although the type of physiological signal sensing device plugged into each unit is clearly indicated in FIG. 5 , this is only one of the possibilities and is only used for illustration. , does not imply a specific limitation.
当来自所有电极/传感器的生理信号通过连接线传送至单元54以及56之后，则汇集至该单元52进行模拟数字的转换以及相关的处理，然后进入单元50中进行对外的储存和/或传输。After the physiological signals from all the electrodes/sensors are transmitted to the
在此，通过该单元50中的该无线收发功能，所有检测到的生理信号可以利用无线的方式实时对外传输，或者是，先记录于内存中，然后在测量结束后通过将该单元50与该基体1分开而在外部进行存取，或者是，先记录于内存中，然后再由无线传输的方式传送出去等。Here, through the wireless transceiver function in the unit 50, all the detected physiological signals can be wirelessly transmitted to the outside in real time, or first recorded in the memory, and then after the measurement is completed, the unit 50 can be connected to the The
另外，特别地，如图6所示，其中，所有的电极/传感器皆是利用有线的方式连接至单元54、56，不过即使是在如此情形下，利用根据本发明的分布式生理信号监测设备，仍然可以囊括所有睡眠实验室中均会进行检测的生理检测项目，也依然让受试者可以自由移动，而不会感受到太多的妨碍，这是因为除了头上的电极/传感器外，其它的电极/传感器都位于躯体及四肢上，连接线也都沿着身体曲线分布，再加上被分散配置的各个单元都尽可能地设计为轻巧、小体积，因此使用者将可以有类似于仅多背负了一条胸带的感觉。Also, in particular, as shown in FIG. 6, where all electrodes/sensors are wired to
所以，显然地，传统的如此完整的多重睡眠检测中的缺点，例如所使用的设备(例如，在睡眠实验室中使用)体积太大；受试者身上必须有大量的连接线连接至外部的设备；以及电极/传感器配置完成后受试者几乎无法移动而只能躺在床上等，在本发明中都得到了克服。So, obviously, the disadvantages of the traditional so complete multiple sleep detection, such as the equipment used (for example, in the sleep laboratory) is too bulky; The device; and the subject being barely able to move after the electrodes/sensors are deployed and lying on the bed, etc., are all overcome in the present invention.
实例2Example 2
当实例1中距离较远的传感器实施为具有无线收发功能时，则根据本发明的分布式生理信号监测设备将可以更进一步简化。在此实施例中，如图7所示，分布在四肢的传感器如血氧传感器70以及四肢移动传感器72，均实施为具有无线收发的功能，且相对应地，在该单元52中的该处理模块也会具有无线收发的功能，因此，在检测到生理信号后，所述无线传感器会将生理信号无线发射至该单元52，然后，与实例1一样地进行后续的处理以及储存、传输。When the remote sensor in Example 1 is implemented with a wireless transceiver function, the distributed physiological signal monitoring device according to the present invention can be further simplified. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7 , the sensors distributed in the extremities, such as the
在此实施例中，该单元52中的无线收发功能用以与内部的无线传感器进行无线传输，而该单元50的无线收发功能则用于进行对外部设备的无线传输，然而，这也仅用于举例说明的目的，如前所述，可以有不同的配置。In this embodiment, the wireless transceiver function in the
此外，根据此实施例的实施方式，通过无线传输的使用，使用者在使用时将可以更进一步地感受到更加不受限的自由移动，而且，通过分离出这两种传感器，单元54’以及56’的体积也可以更进一步减少，更有助于减轻基体上负重。In addition, according to the implementation of this embodiment, through the use of wireless transmission, the user will be able to feel more unrestricted freedom of movement when using, and, by separating these two sensors, the unit 54' and The volume of 56' can also be further reduced, which is more helpful to reduce the load on the substrate.

如图8所示，实例2的实施方式还可以更进一步简化，也就是，该基体1与原用于检测胸腹呼吸的胸带67两者可以整合成为一单一的胸带80，所以，如此一来，不仅显露于外的连接线可以更进一步减少，而且，设置在身上的基体/胸带的数量也会减少，再者，测量前的电极/传感器安置步骤也更进一步简化。As shown in Figure 8, the implementation of Example 2 can be further simplified, that is, both the
实例4Example 4
当然，该结合体也可以配置于其它的位置例如手臂等。在此实施例中，如图9所示，原本位于胸膛上的基体实施为依附在使用者上臂的带体90，并且，特别地，原本位于单元52中的躯体移动传感器92在此实施例中设置在胸腹呼吸传感器的胸带上。这样的实施方式适合于不适用或不习惯胸前负重的使用者。Of course, the combined body can also be arranged in other positions such as arms and the like. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9 , the base body originally located on the chest is implemented as a
下面将要叙述的是根据本发明的该生理信号监测设备所检测的生理信号仅包括上述生理信号监测项目中一部分的情形，也就是说，利用整合部分中具相关性的生理信号监测项目做出简易的初步判断的情形。What will be described below is the situation that the physiological signal detected by the physiological signal monitoring device according to the present invention only includes a part of the above physiological signal monitoring items, that is to say, using the relevant physiological signal monitoring items in the integration part to make simple situation of the preliminary judgment.
实例5Example 5
此实例为实例2的进一步变形，如图10所示，其中，所述用以有线连接生理感测装置的单元54、56”的至少其中之一如下实施：除了原本的有线电连接方式之外，可以再利用无线的方式来与该单元50之间进行传输的方式，也就是说，所述单元54、56”可以无须配置在该基体上，而可以再利用另一基体，举例而言，直接利用粘贴的方式，附着在使用者身体的其它部位。This example is a further modification of example 2, as shown in FIG. 10, wherein at least one of the
至于进行如此方式配置的原因在于：若部分生理信号感测装置的位置彼此较为接近时，例如都位于头部附近时，就可以整合出包含这些生理感测装置插接位置的单元而设置在附近，以减少接线的复杂度；或者，若部分生理信号感测装置之间的相关性比较强时，例如都是直接有关呼吸方面的生理信号感测时，则可以在只需要简化内容的多重生理信号监测时，只取用整合有这些所需生理信号监测项目的单元来进行检测，而无须为了其中的部分生理信号监测项目而将所有的设备都背负在身上，且通过如此的分散配置，也让使用者在使用上更具有弹性。The reason for the configuration in this way is that if some of the physiological signal sensing devices are located relatively close to each other, for example, when they are all located near the head, a unit including the insertion positions of these physiological sensing devices can be integrated and placed nearby. , to reduce the complexity of wiring; or, if the correlation between some physiological signal sensing devices is relatively strong, for example, when they are all directly related to the physiological signal sensing of breathing, then it can be used in multiple physiological signals that only need to simplify the content. When monitoring signals, only the units that integrate these required physiological signal monitoring items are used for detection, without having to carry all the equipment on the body for some of the physiological signal monitoring items, and through such a decentralized configuration, also Let users have more flexibility in use.
举例而言，在图10中，单元56”所检测的生理信号的位置就都位于头部附近(在此，血氧传感器102实施为通过耳朵进行测量的方式，当然，也可以如前的采用指尖测量且无线传输的方式)、且都是相关于呼吸方面的检测项目(呼吸、鼾声、胸腹呼吸、血氧)，因此，单元56”就实施为可与该基体1分离、并可利用另一基体104依附在使用者接近头部的部位，例如，肩膀上等。For example, in Fig. 10, the positions of the physiological signals detected by the
实例6Example 6
若实施为更为简化时，根据本发明的该生理信号监测设备还可以实施为仅具有最简单的两种生理信号监测项目。举例而言，可以仅进行血氧检测以及心电检测两种检测，如图11所示，该基体实施为一环绕在使用者手腕上的带体110，且其上依附有一个操作单元112，而该单元112除了可以有线连接至血氧传感器114之外，还可以无线地与具无线收发功能的心电传感器116进行连接。If the implementation is more simplified, the physiological signal monitoring device according to the present invention can also be implemented with only the simplest two kinds of physiological signal monitoring items. For example, only blood oxygen detection and ECG detection can be performed. As shown in FIG. 11 , the substrate is implemented as a
整合此两种感测装置的目的在于，两者均为有关心血管方面的检测，并且，两者之间具有可校正的关系，也就是说，在血氧检测同时所测得的心电信号可以被用来校正血氧检测中容易因移动而造成的干扰信号(artifact)，因此，其属于有意义的组合。The purpose of integrating these two sensing devices is that both are related to the detection of cardiovascular aspects, and there is a correctable relationship between the two, that is, the ECG signal measured at the same time as the blood oxygen detection It can be used to correct the interference signal (artifact) easily caused by movement in blood oxygen detection, so it belongs to a meaningful combination.
此外，有关这种干扰信号的校正，还可以利用血氧传感器附近的肌电传感器118而加以实现。而在根据本发明的结构下，则仅需在该单元112上增设肌电电极的插接位置即可实现，当然，也可以是利用无线连接的方式，此外，显然也存在三种感测装置(血氧、心电、肌电)同时存在并进行操作的可能性，进而实现更精准的测量结果。In addition, the correction of such interference signals can also be realized by using the
实例7Example 7
另一种生理信号监测项目的组合方式如图12所示为呼吸检测、鼾声检测、以及血氧检测的组合，而在此情况下，该基体实施为环绕在使用者头部的一带体120，且其上依附有一操作单元122，如此配置的原因是因为呼吸检测124以及鼾声检测126都在使用者头部，因此，该带体120就近环绕在头部，而较远的血氧传感器128采取无线的方式。不过，血氧传感器也可以实施为通过耳朵或是额头来取得信号。Another combination of physiological signal monitoring items is shown in Figure 12 as a combination of breathing detection, snoring detection, and blood oxygen detection, and in this case, the base body is implemented as a belt 120 surrounding the user's head, And there is an operating unit 122 attached to it. The reason for this configuration is that the breathing detection 124 and the snoring detection 126 are all on the user's head. Therefore, the belt 120 surrounds the head nearby, and the farther blood oxygen sensor 128 adopts wireless way. However, the blood oxygen sensor can also be implemented to obtain signals through the ear or the forehead.
如此的组合可用于进行简易的睡眠呼吸障碍诊断。通过呼吸检测以及鼾声检测可以判断出使用者在睡眠时是否呼吸中止，再加上血氧检测的辅助，对于睡眠呼吸障碍严重程度的判断即可达到一定的准确度。Such a combination can be used to make a simple diagnosis of sleep-disordered breathing. Through breathing detection and snoring detection, it can be judged whether the user has stopped breathing during sleep, coupled with the assistance of blood oxygen detection, the judgment of the severity of sleep-disordered breathing can reach a certain degree of accuracy.
实例8Example 8
更进一步地，若要更精准地判断睡眠呼吸障碍，则还可以再加上胸腹呼吸传感器以及躯体的移动传感器，如图13所示。在需要增设胸腹呼吸传感器的情况下，实例7中的头带即被舍弃，而直接采用胸腹呼吸传感器的胸带130以及腹带131来支持操作单元132，并且，如前所述，该躯体移动传感器(未显示)可以直接设置在该单元132中，再加上无线血氧传感器以及有线连接的呼吸以及鼾声传感器，如此的组合几乎已经可以完整地判断出睡眠呼吸障碍的起因(central或obstructive)，相当具有可行性。在此，操作单元的数量不限于图中所示的一个，也可以有不同的数量，如图所示，还可以再包括另一个操作单元134，举例而言，该单元134可以包含电池以及内存等，以用于进行外部的充电以及内存读取等。Furthermore, if sleep-disordered breathing is to be judged more accurately, chest and abdomen respiration sensors and body movement sensors can also be added, as shown in Figure 13. In the case where it is necessary to add a chest and abdomen breathing sensor, the headband in Example 7 is discarded, and the
实例9Example 9
另外，需要特别提出的是，在上述所有的实施例中，该操作单元上(无论是位于身体上或是手上、甚至是头上的操作单元)均可再包含一操作接口和/或一显示装置(未显示)，以用于监控整个生理信号监测期间的变化以及结果；或者，该生理信号监测设备也可以是直接以无线方式受到外部设备的控制。In addition, it needs to be pointed out that, in all the above-mentioned embodiments, the operation unit (whether it is an operation unit located on the body, on the hand, or even on the head) may further include an operation interface and/or a A display device (not shown) is used to monitor changes and results during the entire period of physiological signal monitoring; or, the physiological signal monitoring device can also be directly controlled by an external device in a wireless manner.
而更进一步地，如图14所示，该操作接口以及显示装置还可以整合为一位于该结合体之外的无线操控单元140，以方便使用者操控整个生理信号监测，以接收与储存操作单元所传输的数据，以及显示相关的数据及信息，并且，由于该无线操控单元140无须连接任何的电极/传感器，因此，其可以设置在身上容易操作的位置，例如手腕上(因此实施为一手表)，或者也可以不配置在身上，而是放置在身边(未显示)，但依然不会有连接线的牵绊。Furthermore, as shown in Figure 14, the operation interface and display device can also be integrated into a
图14详细实施如下：一操作单元141利用一基体(贴片)142而设置在使用者身上，其上有线连接一呼吸传感器143、一鼾声传感器144、以及一(耳朵)血氧检测器145，并无线连接一心电检测器146，而手腕上所配戴的则为一无线操控单元140，以让使用者可以轻易的通过该单元140来控制所有生理信号监测的操作、储存、以及显示。Figure 14 is implemented in detail as follows: an
除了上述多种生理信号监测同时进行的情形之外，根据本发明的生理信号监测设备也适用于单一种生理信号监测的情形。In addition to the situation where multiple physiological signals are monitored simultaneously, the physiological signal monitoring device according to the present invention is also applicable to the situation where a single physiological signal is monitored.
实例10Example 10
当所述生理感测装置实施为同一种电极时，就等同于是具有多个相同电极的单一生理信号监测设备，例如脑电测量或十二导程心电测量等。在此情形下，根据本发明的概念，整个监测设备还是可以进行分散配置，并将其背负在身上，同样可以减轻使用者的负担，并使行动不受限。When the physiological sensing device is implemented as the same electrode, it is equivalent to a single physiological signal monitoring device with multiple identical electrodes, such as EEG measurement or 12-lead ECG measurement. In this case, according to the concept of the present invention, the entire monitoring equipment can still be distributed and carried on the body, which can also reduce the burden of the user and make the movement unrestricted.
如图15所示，其显示十二导程的心电测量，所使用的操作单元数量为2，所需的电极数量为10，不过，该单元的数量当然也可以实施为大于2。根据本发明，在此实施例中，包含两个操作单元150、152，其中，该单元152为包含电池的单元，且可与基体154分离而从外部进行充电，并具有无线收发模块，以与外部设备进行无线通信，而该单元150则用以插接所有的电极，另外，由于该基体154所设置位置的关系，有些电极(例如156、158)可以直接设置在支持该单元150、152的该基体154与使用者肌肤接触的表面上。As shown in FIG. 15 , which shows twelve-lead ECG measurement, the number of operating units used is 2, and the number of electrodes required is 10. However, the number of units can also be greater than 2. According to the present invention, in this embodiment, two operating
实例11Example 11
图16则是显示脑电测量的情形，在此实施例中，电极的数量可以依需要而有所改变，例如16、32个等，但不变的是，根据本发明，所采用的是分散为至少两个的操作单元160、162，其一是具有电池且可与基体160分离的单元161，剩余的则是用以插接电极以及进行相关处理的单元162。当然，若是所使用的电极数量较多时，例如32个、甚至64个时，该基体160接触使用者肌肤的表面，同样可以设置有电极(未显示)，以减少接线的复杂度。Figure 16 shows the situation of EEG measurement. In this embodiment, the number of electrodes can be changed according to needs, such as 16, 32, etc., but what remains unchanged is that according to the present invention, the distributed There are at least two operating
以上所说明的各个实例，仅是本发明的众多可能实施方式的部分内容，也仅是基于举例说明的原则所做出的陈述，本发明并不因此受限。The various examples described above are only part of the many possible implementations of the present invention, and are only statements made based on the principle of illustration, and the present invention is not limited thereby.
另外，在本发明上述的实施例中，所使用的无线传输方式可以是任何可实现无线传输的方式，举例但不限于，蓝牙，Zigbee，802.11X等，本发明并不因此而受限。In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention, the wireless transmission method used may be any wireless transmission method, for example but not limited to, Bluetooth, Zigbee, 802.11X, etc., and the present invention is not limited thereby.
此外，通过该外部设备所具有的一网络，该生理信号监测设备所得到的信息还可以传送至远程的服务器、医生等，进而形成一医疗网络。In addition, through a network of the external device, the information obtained by the physiological signal monitoring device can also be transmitted to a remote server, doctor, etc., thereby forming a medical network.
综上所述，在本发明分布式的结构之下，生理信号监测设备可以变得更为小巧，更具可移植性，使用者也不再需要背负庞大的重量，并且，通过分布式的结构，配置的连接线复杂度获得大幅的降低，不再需要使用对外的连接线，也让使用者获得更好的移动性，再者，通过分布式的结构，生理信号监测设备在使用上的应用灵活度获得提升，还可以适应各种不同组合的测量需求，因此，确实地解决了公知多重生理信号监测设备的体积庞大、接线复杂以及限制使用者行动的缺点。To sum up, under the distributed structure of the present invention, the physiological signal monitoring equipment can become smaller and more portable, and the user no longer needs to carry a huge weight, and, through the distributed structure , the complexity of the configuration of the connection line has been greatly reduced, no need to use external connection lines, and it also allows users to obtain better mobility. Furthermore, through the distributed structure, the application of physiological signal monitoring equipment in use The flexibility is improved, and it can also adapt to various combinations of measurement requirements. Therefore, the shortcomings of the known multiple physiological signal monitoring equipment, such as bulky size, complicated wiring, and restricted user actions, are truly resolved.
虽然通过上述实施例对本发明进行了详细描述，不过本领域普通技术人员可以在不脱离如所附权利要求书所限定的范围内进行各种修改和润饰。Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, various modifications and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope defined by the appended claims.
