Description

可量測生理參數之運動導引方法Motion guidance method capable of measuring physiological parameters

本發明係有關於一種可量測生理參數之運動導引方法。The invention relates to a motion guiding method for measuring physiological parameters.

近年社會進步、生活便利，在物質上有得到滿足，但於心理層面上卻沒有相對得到滿足，因此可以發現愈來愈多因憂鬱症導致自殺等案例。由此可知現今許多人在面對壓力時不知道該如何抒發或是不會適時去舒解。抒發壓力的管道有許多方法，而運動即為最廣泛的方法，無論是跑步、走路、跳舞或是氣功等，皆是藉由肢體的擺動來達成身心舒暢。適當的運動一方面可以增加心肺功能，另一方面對大腦也有很大的益處。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.

運動量會依年齡或運動習慣等不同而有所差異；且每個個體所能負擔的運動量亦不同，因此運動過量與不及皆對個體的身體不利，適度拿捏運動量即成為是一個關鍵亦困難課題。此運動導引機可以透過使用者的運動計算其頻率，配合使用者並播放音樂或節奏來調控個體可以負擔的運動速度。藉由智慧型的導引可以讓使用者不必刻意勉強自己的身體，而又能達到最佳的運動釋放。而目前量取運動生理參數分為非接觸式與接觸(或侵入)式兩種方法。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).

上述兩種方法中，接觸式方法需藉由電極貼片黏貼或捆綁於人體表面，或以口罩罩住口鼻部，以測量呼吸氣體(氧氣與二氧化碳)之流量及濃度；侵入式方法則是由抽血檢測血液中乳酸濃度或其他物質濃度等資訊。這些方法對於人體多少都有不方便或傷害，如長時間貼片的黏貼於身體表面，會造成皮膚發癢、發炎等現象；而侵入式方法也使得人體表面產生傷口，處理不當有可能造成細菌感染。而非接觸式方法不需接觸到人體表面，透過量取運動者的心跳與呼吸，計算心跳率及呼吸率而分析運動的程度。此方法完全不會影響使用者的運動及不會造成使用者有不舒適感。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.

因此，所需要的是一種可以非接觸方式量測生理參數之運動導引方法。Therefore, what is needed is a motion guidance method that can measure physiological parameters in a non-contact manner.

為使 貴審查委員對於本發明之結構目的和功效有更進一步之了解與認同，茲配合圖示詳細說明如後。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.

請參見圖一，其係為用於實施本發明之運動導引系統示意圖。其中主機1係連接一感測器10，該主機1可發出指令(例如有節奏之音樂)並能藉由感測器10以超寬頻脈衝技術偵測使用者A之肢體運動、呼吸及心跳，使用者A則位於感測器10之偵測範圍內；當然，該主機1係儲存有音樂之預定頻率的節拍。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.

當主機1發出音樂，使用者A聽到音樂後即隨著音樂節奏開始動作，此時感測器10會開始偵測使用者A之運動，並將資料傳回主機1，主機1則可由身體運動之波形來計算其頻率。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.

隨著依段時間，主機1可從累積的體動訊號透過傅利葉轉換而得出體動頻率的分佈曲線。若使用者A之節奏感好，其體動頻率必接近或完全符合音樂節奏頻率。其體動頻率分布圖高峰值會落於節奏頻率上。當峰值之數值愈大，表示其運動量愈大，因此可如圖二所示般看出運動量與節奏感之間的關係。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.

然而，若體動曲線的高峰處與目前的音樂節奏頻率不符合，而呈現落後之狀態時，體動曲線之高峰處會座落於小於節奏頻率的位置(如圖三所示)，此時，主機1會將音樂節奏漸漸放慢並朝向使用者的體動頻率接近，讓使用者A可以隨著音樂很輕鬆沒負擔的運動。若主機1使音樂能配合使用者A的體能及節奏改變，則偵測到之節拍分佈的峰值將會漸漸達到最飽和的數值，此時即為此使用者A最佳的運動體能狀態。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.

反之，若使用者A在一預定時間內可跟上音樂的節奏，主 機1會將音樂之節奏漸漸加快(如圖四所示)，讓使用者A可慢慢跟上較快的節奏速度，直到使用者A無法跟上節奏為止。此目的為慢慢增加使用者A之體能狀態，因而增加其運動量。在此實施例中，主機1係更儲存有一預定時間，藉此判斷偵測到之體動訊號頻率之峰值可於預定時間內能符合音樂之節奏。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.

在引導使用者A運動的過程中，主機1會問歇性地暫停音樂中的強力節奏(通常是鼓聲)，以指示使用者A暫時停止身體運動稍事休息，此時主機1趁機測量使用者A的呼吸與心跳。已知心跳與運動量有一線性關係(請參考Hiilloscorpi等人於2003年Int.J.Sports Medicine所發表之「Use of Heart Rate to Predict Energy Expenditure from Low to High Activity Levels」一文，而呼吸過度急促顯示使用者A氧氣攝量已不足運動所需，若再勉強運動，會使身體以無氧循環，造成乳酸堆積在體內，反而使人肌肉酸痛。主機1可依使用者設定一呼吸與心跳之上限(例如心跳每分鐘140次、呼吸每分鐘30次)，當使用者A的呼吸與心跳超過此上限，主機1即使音樂節奏緩慢下來，以降低運動量。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.

由上可知，本發明之可量測生理參數之運動導引方法的實施步驟可如圖五所示，其中：步驟51-主機啟動並播放具有預定節拍之音樂，使用者聽到音樂後則開始進行運動。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.

步驟52-感測器偵測使用者之體動，並將體動資料傳回主機。Step 52 - The sensor detects the body motion of the user and transmits the body motion data to the host.

步驟53-主機藉由傅利葉轉換將體動資料進行分析而得出體動節拍。Step 53 - The host analyzes the body motion data by Fourier transform to obtain a body motion beat.

步驟54-主機判斷該體動節拍是否與音樂之節拍一致。Step 54 - The host determines whether the body beat is consistent with the beat of the music.

步驟55a-若一致，則主機可加快音樂節拍，以增加使用者之運動量。Step 55a - If consistent, the host can speed up the music beat to increase the amount of exercise of the user.

步驟55b-若不一致，則主機係減慢音樂節拍，以讓使用者之運動節拍可跟的上音樂節拍。Step 55b - If not, the host slows down the music beat so that the user's sports beat can follow the music beat.

步驟56-主機判斷是否到暫時休息時段(例如每運動兩分鐘休息二十秒)？如是，則進行步驟57；如否，則回到步驟51。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.

步驟57-音樂聲量變小或暫停節奏指引使用者暫停，主機量取使用者之心跳與呼吸，同時讓使用者可休息，例如休息二十秒。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.

步驟58-主機判斷使用者之心跳與呼吸是否達到主機內設值之上限？如是，則回到步驟55b(減慢音樂節拍，以讓使用者之運動節拍可跟的上音樂節拍)；如否，則回到步驟51。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.

如此一來，本發明所主張之可量測生理參數之運動導引方法係可判斷呼吸與肢體運動是否與音樂指令達到協調，適用對象遍及各年齡層，尤其更適用於老人、憂鬱症族群或上班族，實為一開創性之技術。當然，本發明之運動導引方法並非可僅以音樂作為節奏指令，其他任何可用來指示使用者之方法(如影像或燈光)均應包含在本發明之權利範圍內。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.
