Description

소프트센서를 구비한 웨어러블 슈트{Wearable suit with soft sensor}Wearable suit with soft sensor {Wearable suit with soft sensor}

본 발명은 소프트센서를 구비한 웨어러블 슈트에 관한 것으로, 사용자의 움직임에 간섭되지 않도록 신축성 있고, 움직임 및 자세가 감지될 수 있도록 하여 사용자의 보행을 지원하는 소프트센서를 구비한 웨어러블 슈트에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a wearable suit equipped with a soft sensor, and relates to a wearable suit equipped with a soft sensor that is flexible so as not to interfere with the user's movement and supports the walking of the user by enabling movement and posture to be sensed.

최근 고령화 사회로 진입하면서 노약자의 보행을 보조하는 장치에 대한 연구에 관심이 높아지고 있다. 또한, 인간공학 기술이 발달하면서, 인간의 움직임이나 자세에 대한 모션 분석 방법이 많이 연구되었다. 예를들면, 카메라를 통한 모션 캡쳐, 영상 분석, imu 센서 등을 이용한 방식으로 인간의 움직임이나 자세를 센싱하고 분석을 할 수 있다. Recently, as we enter an aging society, interest in research on devices for assisting walking of the elderly is increasing. In addition, with the development of ergonomic technology, many studies have been conducted on motion analysis methods for human movements and postures. For example, it is possible to sense and analyze a human motion or posture using motion capture through a camera, image analysis, and an imu sensor.

다만, 이러한 인간의 모션 분석 방식에는 여러 문제점이 있다. 그 중 대표적으로, 센싱수단과 대상자의 사이에 물체가 있는 경우, 센싱수단과 대상자의 거리가 멀어지는 경우, 대상자에 부착된 센싱수단의 고정이 단단하지 못한 경우가 있다.However, this human motion analysis method has several problems. Among them, representatively, there are cases where an object is present between the sensing means and the subject, when the distance between the sensing means and the subject is farther away, and the sensing means attached to the subject is not firmly fixed.

이러한 종래의 기술을 해결하기 위한 문헌으로, 대한민국등록특허 제10-1872907호를 살펴보면, 듀얼 스마트 밴드를 이용한 모션 분석 장치 및 방법에 대해 개시되어 있다. As a document for solving these conventional techniques, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1872907 discloses a motion analysis device and method using a dual smart band.

하지만, 상기 선행문헌에서는 전신의 모션 데이터를 수집하기가 어려울뿐만 아니라 데이터의 정확도가 떨어질 수 있다는 문제점이 있다.However, in the prior literature, there is a problem that it is difficult to collect motion data of the whole body and the accuracy of the data may be reduced.
