Description

感測系統 Sensing system

本發明是有關於一種感測系統，特別是指一種能夠檢測特定分子的感測系統。 The present invention relates to a sensing system, in particular to a sensing system capable of detecting specific molecules.

參閱圖1，中華民國專利號第I668444號專利案所揭露之一種習知的檢測裝置1，主要包含有一界定出一容置空間10的管壁11、一配向膜12，及一液晶組合物13。該管壁11具有至少一透光區域111。該配向膜12與該液晶組合物13填入該容置空間10，且用於控制該液晶組合物13中液晶分子的有序排列。 Referring to FIG. 1 , a known detection device 1 disclosed in Patent Case No. I668444 of the Republic of China mainly comprises a tube wall 11 defining a containing space 10, an alignment film 12, and a liquid crystal composition 13. The tube wall 11 has at least one light-transmitting area 111. The alignment film 12 and the liquid crystal composition 13 are filled into the containing space 10 and are used to control the orderly arrangement of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal composition 13.

當該管壁11通過毛細現象吸入待測物，且該液晶組合物13中的探針與待測物中的特定分子結合時，會破壞液晶分子原本的有序排列，而使該透光區域111產生光學變化，藉此，達到檢測的目的。 When the tube wall 11 absorbs the object to be tested through the capillary phenomenon and the probe in the liquid crystal composition 13 combines with the specific molecules in the object to be tested, the original orderly arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules will be destroyed, causing the light-transmitting area 111 to produce optical changes, thereby achieving the purpose of detection.

惟，由於該檢測裝置1是通過毛細現象吸入待測物，而僅適用於液體，且該檢測裝置1屬於被動檢測，需要人手動將待測物滴放在該管壁11上，或將該檢測裝置1置於流體的環境中，在檢測流程上較不方便，且適用的環境有限，而無法普及於日常生活中。 However, since the detection device 1 absorbs the object to be detected by capillary phenomenon, it is only applicable to liquids, and the detection device 1 is a passive detection, requiring a person to manually drop the object to be detected on the tube wall 11, or place the detection device 1 in a fluid environment, which is inconvenient in the detection process, and the applicable environment is limited, and it cannot be popularized in daily life.

更重要的是，該透光區域111僅能傳達是否有光通過，對於不明就理的觀看者來說，會無法了解實際的檢測結果代表什麼意義。 More importantly, the light-transmitting area 111 can only convey whether light has passed through. For uninformed observers, they will not be able to understand what the actual detection results mean.

因此，本發明之目的，即在提供一種能夠以圖形化介面呈現檢測結果，且輕、薄、體積小而易於攜帶、適用範圍廣泛，及符合環保需求的感測系統。 Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a sensing system that can present the detection results with a graphical interface, is light, thin, small in size, easy to carry, has a wide range of applications, and meets environmental protection requirements.

於是，本發明的感測系統，包含至少一感測貼片，及一電子裝置。 Therefore, the sensing system of the present invention includes at least one sensing patch and an electronic device.

該至少一感測貼片包括一液晶組合物、一可全透光的配向膜，及一可全透光的封裝層，該液晶組合物具有數個液晶分子與一化合物，該化合物具有數個專一性探針，每一該專一性探針適用於結合一特定分子，該配向膜用於使每一該液晶分子有序排列而開放光通過，該封裝層界定有一用於容納該配向膜與該液晶組合物的圖像空間，及至少一連通於外界與該圖像空間的通道，當外界空氣由該至少一通道進入該圖像空間，且對應的專一性探針結合於空氣中的特定分子時，會誘導對應的液晶分子轉向而阻擋光通過，使該圖像空間產生光學變化而形成至少一透明度不大於80%且能夠呈現圖像的反應區。 The at least one sensing patch includes a liquid crystal composition, a fully light-transmissive alignment film, and a fully light-transmissive encapsulation layer. The liquid crystal composition has a plurality of liquid crystal molecules and a compound. The compound has a plurality of specific probes. Each of the specific probes is suitable for binding to a specific molecule. The alignment film is used to arrange each of the liquid crystal molecules in an orderly manner and allow light to pass through. The encapsulation layer defines an image space for accommodating the alignment film and the liquid crystal composition, and at least one channel connecting the outside world and the image space. When the outside air enters the image space through the at least one channel and the corresponding specific probe binds to the specific molecule in the air, the corresponding liquid crystal molecule will be induced to turn and block the light from passing through, so that the image space will produce an optical change to form at least one reaction area with a transparency of no more than 80% and capable of presenting an image.

該電子裝置適配於該至少一感測貼片，且根據預設的一圖像集，比對該圖像集與一包括該至少一反應區的影像，當該至少一反應區的形狀符合該圖像集時，產生一相關於該特定分子的檢測資訊。 The electronic device is adapted to the at least one sensing patch, and compares the image set with an image including the at least one reaction area according to a preset image set. When the shape of the at least one reaction area matches the image set, detection information related to the specific molecule is generated.

本發明之功效在於：通過光學變化及該圖像空間的設計，使本發明能夠達到檢測及以圖形化介面呈現檢測結果的目的，不但輕、薄、體積小而易於攜帶，且能夠配合不同的情境與場合，適配於不同的載體或電子裝置，而提升普及性。 The effect of the present invention is that through optical changes and the design of the image space, the present invention can achieve the purpose of detection and presenting the detection results with a graphical interface. It is not only light, thin, and small in size, easy to carry, but also can be used in different situations and occasions, and is suitable for different carriers or electronic devices, thereby improving popularity.

參閱圖2、圖3、圖4與圖5，本發明感測貼片2的一實施例，適適用於有光的環境，包含一液晶組合物21、一可全透光的配向膜22，及一可全透光的封裝層23。 Referring to Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5, an embodiment of the sensing patch 2 of the present invention is suitable for use in a light environment, and includes a liquid crystal composition 21, a fully light-transmitting alignment film 22, and a fully light-transmitting encapsulation layer 23.

該液晶組合物21包括數個液晶分子211與一化合物212。每一該液晶分子211沿一長軸X的方向延伸。該化合物212具有數個專一性探針。每一該專一性探針適用於結合一特定分子。 The liquid crystal composition 21 includes a plurality of liquid crystal molecules 211 and a compound 212. Each of the liquid crystal molecules 211 extends along a long axis X. The compound 212 has a plurality of specific probes. Each of the specific probes is suitable for binding to a specific molecule.

舉例來說，當特定分子是二氧化碳時，該化合物包括能夠結合於二氧化碳的二胺分子，當特定分子是甲烷時，該化合物是能夠結合於甲烷的次氯酸化合物，當特定分子是氧化亞氮時，該化合物是能夠結合於氧化亞氮的奈米金材料，當特定分子是氫氟碳化物時，該化合物是能夠結合於氫氟碳化物的二氧化錫化合物，當特定分子是全氟碳化物時，該化合物是能夠結合於全氟碳化物的氧化鋅化合物，當特定分子是六氟化硫時，該化合物是能夠結合於六氟化硫的二氧化鈦化合物，當特定分子是三氟化氮時，該化合物是能夠結合於三氟化氮的三氧化鎢化合物，當特定分子是氨氣時，該化合物包括能夠結合於氨氣的烷醛分子。 For example, when the specific molecule is carbon dioxide, the compound includes a diamine molecule capable of binding to carbon dioxide, when the specific molecule is methane, the compound is a hypochlorous acid compound capable of binding to methane, when the specific molecule is nitrous oxide, the compound is a nano-gold material capable of binding to nitrous oxide, when the specific molecule is hydrofluorocarbon, the compound is a tin dioxide compound capable of binding to hydrofluorocarbon, when the specific molecule is perfluorocarbon, the compound is a zinc oxide compound capable of binding to perfluorocarbon, when the specific molecule is sulfur hexafluoride, the compound is a titanium dioxide compound capable of binding to sulfur hexafluoride, when the specific molecule is nitrogen trifluoride, the compound is a tungsten trioxide compound capable of binding to nitrogen trifluoride, and when the specific molecule is ammonia, the compound includes an alkanal molecule capable of binding to ammonia.

該配向膜22用於使每一該液晶分子211有序排列，在本實施例中，每一該液晶分子211受該配向膜22規範，以該長軸X平行於光的行進方向排列，而開放光通過。 The alignment film 22 is used to arrange each of the liquid crystal molecules 211 in an orderly manner. In this embodiment, each of the liquid crystal molecules 211 is regulated by the alignment film 22 and arranged with the long axis X parallel to the direction of light travel, thereby allowing light to pass through.

值得說明的是，該等液晶分子211通過該配向膜22有序排列的技術，並非本發明的技術特徵，且由於本領域中具有通常知識者根據以上說明可以推知擴充細節，因此不多加說明。 It is worth noting that the technology of orderly arranging the liquid crystal molecules 211 through the alignment film 22 is not a technical feature of the present invention, and since those with ordinary knowledge in the field can infer the expanded details based on the above description, no further explanation is given.

該封裝層23包括一基材231，及一與該基材231相間隔且界定出一圖像空間230的保護材232。 The packaging layer 23 includes a substrate 231 and a protective material 232 that is spaced from the substrate 231 and defines an image space 230.

該圖像空間230用於容納該配向膜22與該液晶組合物21。 The image space 230 is used to accommodate the alignment film 22 and the liquid crystal composition 21.

在本實施例中，該基材231可以是玻璃、或透明的高分子材料，例如聚二甲基矽氧烷(PDMS)，厚度介於0.2mm~1.5mm，較佳的，玻璃製成的基材231的厚度約為1mm，高分子材料製成的基材231的厚度約為0.3mm，且長×寬=10mm×25mm，但不以此為限。 In this embodiment, the substrate 231 can be glass or a transparent polymer material, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), with a thickness between 0.2 mm and 1.5 mm. Preferably, the thickness of the substrate 231 made of glass is about 1 mm, and the thickness of the substrate 231 made of a polymer material is about 0.3 mm, and the length × width = 10 mm × 25 mm, but not limited thereto.

該基材231配合該圖像空間230的佈局，蝕刻有數個對應的凹槽2311，舉例來說，該等凹槽2311分別是C形符號、O形符號與數字”2”。 The substrate 231 is etched with a number of corresponding grooves 2311 in accordance with the layout of the image space 230. For example, the grooves 2311 are respectively a C-shaped symbol, an O-shaped symbol and the number "2".

在本實施例中，該保護材232是一種可透氣的薄膜，與該基材231相配合並封裝該液晶組合物21與該配向模組3，並具有數個連通於外界與該圖像空間230的通道2321。該等通道2321適用於供空氣通過且肉眼不可見。在本實施例中，該保護材232可以是聚二甲基矽氧烷(PDMS)、或聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)。 In this embodiment, the protective material 232 is a breathable film, which cooperates with the substrate 231 and encapsulates the liquid crystal composition 21 and the alignment module 3, and has a plurality of channels 2321 connected to the outside and the image space 230. The channels 2321 are suitable for air to pass through and are invisible to the naked eye. In this embodiment, the protective material 232 can be polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).

參閱圖4、圖5、圖6與圖7，以本發明用於檢測環境中的二氧化碳是否超標為例，當外界含有二氧化碳的空氣由該等通道2321進入該圖像空間230時，該化合物212中對應的專一性探針就會結合於空氣中的二氧化碳，而誘導對應的液晶分子211轉向而阻擋光通過，當空氣中二氧化碳的濃度愈高，就會有愈多的液晶分子211轉向，當二氧化碳的濃度到達一閥值時，該圖像空間230就會產生光學變化而形成三個透明度不大於80%且能夠呈現”C”圖像、”O”圖像與”2”圖像的反應區233。 Referring to Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7, the present invention is used to detect whether the carbon dioxide in the environment exceeds the standard. When the air containing carbon dioxide enters the image space 230 from the channels 2321, the corresponding specific probe in the compound 212 will bind to the carbon dioxide in the air, and induce the corresponding liquid crystal molecules 211 to turn and block the light from passing through. When the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air is higher, more liquid crystal molecules 211 will turn. When the concentration of carbon dioxide reaches a threshold value, the image space 230 will produce optical changes and form three reaction areas 233 with a transparency of no more than 80% and capable of presenting "C" image, "O" image and "2" image.

值得說明的是，該圖像空間230產生的光學變化可以是透明度深、淺的變化，或顏色變化。且每一該反應區233的透明度取決於空氣中二氧化碳的濃度，及是否有更多的液晶分子211轉向。較佳的，當該圖像空間230產生光學變化時，每一該反應區233的透明度可以介於50%~0%，當透明度為0%時，為不透光狀態，會形成明顯的暗區。 It is worth noting that the optical change produced by the image space 230 can be a change in transparency, a change in lightness, or a change in color. And the transparency of each of the reaction areas 233 depends on the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air and whether more liquid crystal molecules 211 are turned. Preferably, when the image space 230 produces an optical change, the transparency of each of the reaction areas 233 can be between 50% and 0%. When the transparency is 0%, it is an opaque state, and a distinct dark area will be formed.

藉此，通過該等反應區233所呈現的圖像組成文字，使用者可以在不需要任何操作程序的情形下，警覺到目前的環境中存在有害物質，且可以明確知道有害物質是二氧化碳。 Thus, through the images and texts presented in the reaction area 233, the user can be alerted to the presence of harmful substances in the current environment without any operation procedures, and can clearly know that the harmful substance is carbon dioxide.

值得說明的是，該圖像空間230不限於形成三個反應區233，在本實施例的其它變化例中，也可以是1個、2個、或3個以上。且前述反應區233所呈現的圖像，可以是如圖8所示的圖形、或如圖9所示的符號，或如圖4與圖5所示在對應的凹槽2311中填入不同的化合物212，用於檢測多種特定分子。 It is worth noting that the image space 230 is not limited to forming three reaction areas 233. In other variations of this embodiment, it can also be 1, 2, or 3 or more. The image presented by the reaction area 233 can be a figure as shown in FIG8, or a symbol as shown in FIG9, or different compounds 212 are filled in the corresponding grooves 2311 as shown in FIG4 and FIG5, for detecting multiple specific molecules.

應當注意的是，該配向膜22與該封裝層23不限於是全透明，且該等液晶分子211在未轉向前，不限於開放光通過，在本實施例的其它變化例中，也可以如圖6、圖10所示，在未轉向前，阻擋光通過，且在該化合物212中對應的專一性探針結合於空氣中的特定分子時，開放光通過，而形成三個透明度不小於50%且能夠呈現”C”圖像、”O”圖像與”2”圖像的反應區233。藉此，通過該等反應區233所呈現的圖像組成文字，使用者同樣可以在不需要任何操作程序的情形下，警覺到目前的環境中存在有害物質。 It should be noted that the alignment film 22 and the encapsulation layer 23 are not limited to being fully transparent, and the liquid crystal molecules 211 are not limited to allowing light to pass through before turning forward. In other variations of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 10, light can be blocked before turning forward, and when the corresponding specific probe in the compound 212 binds to a specific molecule in the air, light can be allowed to pass through, thereby forming three reaction areas 233 with a transparency of not less than 50% and capable of presenting "C" images, "O" images, and "2" images. In this way, by forming texts with images presented by the reaction areas 233, users can also be alerted to the presence of harmful substances in the current environment without any operation procedures.

另外，該保護材232不限於可透氣，在本實施例的其它變化例中，也可以不透氣，且如圖11所示，該保護材232與該基材231界定出數連通於該等凹槽2311與外界的通道2321。藉此，同樣可以通過該等通道2321導引外界的空氣進入該等凹槽2311。 In addition, the protective material 232 is not limited to being breathable. In other variations of this embodiment, it can also be non-breathable. As shown in FIG. 11 , the protective material 232 and the substrate 231 define a number of channels 2321 connecting the grooves 2311 and the outside. Thus, the outside air can be guided into the grooves 2311 through the channels 2321.

參閱圖4、圖7與圖12，本發明感測裝置的一第一實施例，包含該感測貼片2，及一載體3。 Referring to Figures 4, 7 and 12, a first embodiment of the sensing device of the present invention includes the sensing patch 2 and a carrier 3.

該感測貼片2還包括一形成在該封裝層23外表面且可透光的黏膠層24，使該感測貼片2通過該黏膠層24黏接於該載體3。 The sensing patch 2 also includes a light-transmissive adhesive layer 24 formed on the outer surface of the packaging layer 23, so that the sensing patch 2 is bonded to the carrier 3 through the adhesive layer 24.

該載體3的顏色不同於該等反應區233的顏色，舉例來說，不能是灰色、或是黑色、或其它色調與該等反應區233近似的顏色。 The color of the carrier 3 is different from the color of the reaction areas 233. For example, it cannot be gray, black, or other colors similar to those of the reaction areas 233.

由於本發明的感測貼片在沒有產生光學變化前，呈現全透明的狀態，而不影響視覺，因此，該感測片2可以配合使用場合及需求，搭載不同的載體3，該載體3可以是如圖13的智能眼鏡、或一般眼鏡、或面罩，或如圖14所示的擋風玻璃、或車窗、或門窗的面板，或如圖15所示的水族箱，或如圖16所示的燈具，或如圖17所示的電子產品(如手機、平板、手錶)的顯示器。 Since the sensing patch of the present invention is fully transparent before optical changes occur and does not affect vision, the sensing patch 2 can be used in conjunction with different carriers 3 according to the occasions and needs. The carrier 3 can be smart glasses, ordinary glasses, or masks as shown in Figure 13, or windshields, car windows, or door and window panels as shown in Figure 14, or aquariums as shown in Figure 15, or lamps as shown in Figure 16, or displays of electronic products (such as mobile phones, tablets, watches) as shown in Figure 17.

值得說明的是，當該載體3如圖17所示為一顯示器時，該感測貼片2可以做為螢幕保護貼，覆蓋在該載體3，藉此，圖12~圖17所示的實施例，都能夠在使用者不需要任何操作程序的情形下，自動檢測環境中的特定分子，判斷是否存在有害物質，且能夠自動警示。 It is worth noting that when the carrier 3 is a display as shown in FIG17, the sensing patch 2 can be used as a screen protector to cover the carrier 3. Thus, the embodiments shown in FIG12 to FIG17 can automatically detect specific molecules in the environment without any operation procedures by the user, determine whether there are harmful substances, and automatically warn.

該載體3還可以是如圖18的反射鏡，或如圖19所示的桌子...等物件。藉此，該載體3不管是可供光穿透的物件、或能夠折射光的物件、或能夠反射光的物件，都不會因為連接該感測貼片2，而影響原有的視覺效果。 The carrier 3 can also be a reflective mirror as shown in FIG18 , or a table as shown in FIG19 . Thus, whether the carrier 3 is an object that can be penetrated by light, an object that can refract light, or an object that can reflect light, the original visual effect will not be affected by connecting the sensing patch 2 .

參閱圖7與圖20，是本發明感測裝置的一第二實施例，同樣包含該感測貼片2與該載體3，且還包含一控制單元4。 Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 20 , a second embodiment of the sensing device of the present invention is shown, which also includes the sensing patch 2 and the carrier 3, and also includes a control unit 4.

在本實施例中，該載體3是一種感光元件，如光敏電阻，能夠根據穿透該圖像空間230的光強度變化，改變電阻或電流等相關數值，輸出一感測訊號S。 In this embodiment, the carrier 3 is a photosensitive element, such as a photoresistor, which can change the resistance or current and other related values according to the change of the light intensity penetrating the image space 230, and output a sensing signal S.

該控制單元4包括一電連接於該載體3(感光元件)的控制模組41、一電連接於該控制模組41的警示模組42，及一電連接於該控制模組41的通訊模組43。 The control unit 4 includes a control module 41 electrically connected to the carrier 3 (photosensitive element), an alarm module 42 electrically connected to the control module 41, and a communication module 43 electrically connected to the control module 41.

該控制模組41根據該感測訊號S判斷該特定分子的濃度是否大於一閥值，且能夠控制該警示模組42產生一警示訊息。 The control module 41 determines whether the concentration of the specific molecule is greater than a threshold value based on the sensing signal S, and can control the warning module 42 to generate a warning message.

該警示模組42可以是蜂鳴器、或顯示器、或發光元件，該警示訊息可以是聲音、文字、燈光至少其中一種。 The warning module 42 can be a buzzer, a display, or a light-emitting element, and the warning message can be at least one of sound, text, and light.

該通訊模組43能夠通過有線或無線通訊技術，與一近端或遠端的電子裝置5相互通訊。 The communication module 43 can communicate with a near-end or far-end electronic device 5 through wired or wireless communication technology.

當環境中存在有該特定分子時，除了可以通過該圖像空間230呈現該等反應區233外，且該控制模組41還會根據該感測訊號S中電阻的大小，判斷該特定分子的濃度，當該特定分子的濃度大於該閥值時，該控制模組41還進一步控制該警示模組42產生聲音、或文字、或燈光等警示訊息，且產生一相關於該特定分子的檢測資訊M，同時，控制該通訊模組43傳送該檢測資訊M給該電子裝置5。藉此，除了可以通過圖形化的反應區233與警示訊息，產生不同級別的警示效果外，還可以通知其它區域的使用者。 When the specific molecule exists in the environment, in addition to presenting the reaction areas 233 through the image space 230, the control module 41 will also judge the concentration of the specific molecule according to the size of the resistance in the sensing signal S. When the concentration of the specific molecule is greater than the threshold value, the control module 41 further controls the warning module 42 to generate a warning message such as sound, text, or light, and generates a detection information M related to the specific molecule. At the same time, the communication module 43 is controlled to transmit the detection information M to the electronic device 5. In this way, in addition to generating different levels of warning effects through the graphical reaction area 233 and the warning message, users in other areas can also be notified.

在本實施例中，該檢測資訊M至少包括該特定分子的名稱、濃度(或危害程度)等訊息。 In this embodiment, the detection information M at least includes the name, concentration (or degree of harm) and other information of the specific molecule.

值得說明的是，該感測貼片2的數量不限於只有一個，在本實施例的其它變化例中，也可以如圖21所示，是2個或2個以上的感測貼片2層層相疊，該載體3(感光元件)面向位於最外側的感測貼片2，藉此，可以增加感測時的靈敏度，或如圖22所示，該感測裝置包含數個載體3與數個感測貼片2，且每一該感測貼片2連接於各別的載體3，藉此，可以檢測不同的特定分子。 It is worth noting that the number of the sensing patch 2 is not limited to only one. In other variations of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, two or more sensing patches 2 may be stacked one on top of another, and the carrier 3 (photosensitive element) faces the sensing patch 2 located at the outermost side, thereby increasing the sensitivity during sensing. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 22, the sensing device includes a plurality of carriers 3 and a plurality of sensing patches 2, and each of the sensing patches 2 is connected to a respective carrier 3, thereby detecting different specific molecules.

參閱圖7與圖23，本發明感測系統的一第一實施例，包含該感測貼片2、該電子裝置5，及一伺服裝置6。 Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 23, a first embodiment of the sensing system of the present invention includes the sensing patch 2, the electronic device 5, and a servo device 6.

在本實施例中，該電子裝置5可以是一種能夠拍攝影像的手機、平板電腦、智慧眼鏡、手錶等，且能夠通過無線通訊技術，與遠端的伺服裝置6相互通訊。 In this embodiment, the electronic device 5 can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, smart glasses, watch, etc. that can take pictures and can communicate with the remote server device 6 through wireless communication technology.

該電子裝置5能夠儲存或由該伺服裝置6呼叫一預設的圖像集(圖未示)，且在拍攝一包括該等反應區233的影像P後，比對該圖像集與該影像P，當該等反應區233的形狀符合該圖像集時，產生一相關於該特定分子的檢測資訊M。 The electronic device 5 can store or call a preset image set (not shown) by the server device 6, and after taking an image P including the reaction areas 233, compare the image set with the image P. When the shapes of the reaction areas 233 match the image set, detection information M related to the specific molecule is generated.

值得說明的是，該影像P不限於是由該電子裝置5所拍攝，在本實施例的其它變化例中，也可以是由另一拍攝裝置(圖未示)拍攝後，傳送給該電子裝置5。 It is worth noting that the image P is not limited to being taken by the electronic device 5. In other variations of this embodiment, it can also be taken by another shooting device (not shown) and then transmitted to the electronic device 5.

且比對該等反應區233的形狀是否符合該圖像集，也可以由該電子裝置5傳送該影像P給該伺服裝置6後，由該伺服裝置6比對該圖像集與該影像P，當該等反應區233的形狀符合該圖像集時，產生該相關於該特定分子的檢測資訊M，並回傳給該電子裝置5。藉此，同樣可以通過圖形化的反應區233以所見即所得的方式，第一時間獲知環境中存在有該特定分子外，同時，也可以由該檢測資訊M獲得包括該特定分子的名稱、濃度(或危害程度)等訊息。 And to compare whether the shapes of the reaction areas 233 match the image set, the electronic device 5 can also transmit the image P to the server device 6, and then the server device 6 compares the image set with the image P. When the shapes of the reaction areas 233 match the image set, the detection information M related to the specific molecule is generated and returned to the electronic device 5. In this way, the presence of the specific molecule in the environment can be known at the first time through the graphical reaction area 233 in a WYSIWYG manner. At the same time, the name, concentration (or degree of harm) of the specific molecule and other information can also be obtained from the detection information M.

參閱圖7與圖24，是本發明感測系統的一第二實施例，同樣包含該感測貼片2、該電子裝置5與該伺服裝置6，且還包含一校正貼片2’。 Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 24, a second embodiment of the sensing system of the present invention is shown, which also includes the sensing patch 2, the electronic device 5 and the servo device 6, and also includes a calibration patch 2'.

該校正貼片2’用於結合空氣中的特定分子，而根據濃度呈現由淺到深的顏色變化。在本實施例中，該校正貼片2’與該感測貼片2構造大致相同，差異在於：當該校正貼片2’的圖像空間230產生光學變化時，可以呈現由淺到深的顏色變化，例如：由黃色變成紅色。藉此，當獲取包括該感測貼片2與該校正貼片2’的影像P後，可以通過該等圖像空間230的顏色差異，判斷該特定分子的濃度。 The calibration patch 2' is used to bind to specific molecules in the air and present a color change from light to dark according to the concentration. In this embodiment, the calibration patch 2' and the sensing patch 2 have roughly the same structure, and the difference is that when the image space 230 of the calibration patch 2' undergoes an optical change, a color change from light to dark can be presented, for example, from yellow to red. Thus, after obtaining an image P including the sensing patch 2 and the calibration patch 2', the concentration of the specific molecule can be determined by the color difference of the image space 230.

參閱圖7與圖25，是本發明感測系統的一第三實施例，同樣包含該感測貼片2、該電子裝置5與該伺服裝置6，且還包含一能夠與該電子裝置5通訊的感測裝置7。 Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 25 , a third embodiment of the sensing system of the present invention is shown, which also includes the sensing patch 2, the electronic device 5 and the servo device 6, and further includes a sensing device 7 capable of communicating with the electronic device 5.

在本實施例中，該感測裝置7是一種感光元件，能夠根據穿透該圖像空間230的光強度變化，改變電阻或電流等相關數值，並輸出一感測訊號S(圖未示)給該電子裝置5。藉此，該電子裝置5能夠根據該感測訊號S(圖未示)產生該檢測資訊M(圖未示)。 In this embodiment, the sensing device 7 is a photosensitive element that can change related values such as resistance or current according to changes in the light intensity penetrating the image space 230, and output a sensing signal S (not shown) to the electronic device 5. In this way, the electronic device 5 can generate the detection information M (not shown) according to the sensing signal S (not shown).

應當注意的是，該檢測資訊M不限於由該電子裝置5所產生，在本實施例的其它變化例中，也可以由該電子裝置5傳送該感測訊號S給該伺服裝置6，再由該伺服裝置6根據該感測訊號S產生該檢測資訊M，並回傳給該電子裝置5。藉此，同樣可以通過圖形化的反應區233以所見即所得的方式，第一時間獲知環境中存在有該特定分子外，同時，也可以由該檢測資訊M獲得包括該特定分子的名稱、濃度(或危害程度)等訊息。 It should be noted that the detection information M is not limited to being generated by the electronic device 5. In other variations of this embodiment, the electronic device 5 may also transmit the sensing signal S to the server device 6, and then the server device 6 generates the detection information M according to the sensing signal S and transmits it back to the electronic device 5. In this way, the presence of the specific molecule in the environment can be immediately known through the graphical reaction area 233 in a WYSIWYG manner. At the same time, the name, concentration (or degree of harm) of the specific molecule and other information can also be obtained from the detection information M.

以該載體3是透明感光元件、該電子裝置5是智慧眼鏡為例，當該感測貼片2呈現該等反應區233時，穿載該電子裝置5(智慧眼鏡)的使用者除了可以通過所見即所得的方式，第一時間獲知環境中存在有該特定分子外，同時，該電子裝置5或該伺服裝置6也會根據該感測訊號S中電阻的大小，判斷該特定分子的濃度，並通過該電子裝置5呈現該檢測資訊M。 For example, when the carrier 3 is a transparent photosensitive element and the electronic device 5 is a smart glasses, when the sensing patch 2 presents the reaction areas 233, the user wearing the electronic device 5 (smart glasses) can not only know the presence of the specific molecule in the environment in a WYSIWYG manner, but also the electronic device 5 or the servo device 6 will judge the concentration of the specific molecule according to the resistance in the sensing signal S and present the detection information M through the electronic device 5.
