본 발명은 다양한 변경을 가할 수 있고 여러가지 실시예를 가질 수 있는바, 특정 실시예들을 도면에 예시하고 상세한 설명에 상세하게 설명하고자 한다. 그러나, 이는 본 발명을 특정한 실시 형태에 대해 한정하려는 것이 아니며, 본 발명의 사상 및 기술범위에 포함되는 모든 변경, 균등물 내지 대체물을 포함하는 것으로 이해되어야 한다.As the invention allows for various changes and numerous embodiments, particular embodiments will be illustrated in the drawings and described in detail in the written description. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention to specific embodiments, it should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents, and substitutes included in the spirit and scope of the present invention.
이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 본 발명에 따른 바람직한 일실시예를 상세히 설명한다. 도면상에서 동일 부호는 동일한 요소를 지칭한다.Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Like numbers refer to like elements in the figures.
도 1은, 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 수면 데이터 측정 장치를 설명하기 위한 도면이다. 1 is a view for explaining a sleep data measuring apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
도 1을 참조하면, 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 수면 데이터 측정 장치(100)는 골전도 마이크(Bone Conduction Microphone, 110), 판단부(120), 가속도 센서(130) 및 제1 송신부(140)을 포함할 수 있다. Referring to FIG. 1, the apparatus 100 for measuring sleep data according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a bone conduction microphone 110, a determination unit 120, an acceleration sensor 130, and a first transmitter 140. It may include.
골전도 마이크(110)는 사용자의 수면(睡眠) 중 호흡음을 측정할 수 있다. 골전도 마이크(110)는 사용자가 수면 중 호흡하는 경우에 사용자의 코, 인두 또는 후두를 지나는 공기의 흐름, 예를 들면 호흡기류에 따라 발생하는 두개골의 진동을 감지하는 역할을 한다. 즉, 골전도 마이크(110)는 사용자의 수면 중 발생하는 음성정보를 골절도 방식으로 감지하고, 이에 상응하는 전기신호를 생성함으로써 사용자의 수면 중 호흡음을 측정할 수 있다. 사용자의 수면 중 호흡음 측정을 위하여 골전도 마이크(110)는 예를 들면, 사용자의 이마, 광대 부위에 접촉될 수 있다. The bone conduction microphone 110 may measure a respiratory sound during sleep of the user. Bone conduction microphone 110 serves to detect the vibration of the skull caused by the flow of air through the user's nose, pharynx or larynx, for example, respiratory airflow when the user breathes during sleep. That is, the bone conduction microphone 110 may detect the voice information generated during the user's sleep by using the fracture diagram method, and generate an electrical signal corresponding thereto to measure the user's breathing sound during sleep. For example, the bone conduction microphone 110 may be in contact with the user's forehead and the clown to measure breathing sounds during sleep.
골전도 마이크(110)를 이용하여 호흡음을 측정하는 경우에는 주변의 소음 및 사용자의 움직임 등에 의해 발생하는 잡음(noise)에 의한 영향을 최소화할 수 있어 수면 검사의 신뢰도를 향상시킬 수 있다. When the breathing sound is measured using the bone conduction microphone 110, the influence of noise generated by the surrounding noise and the user's movement can be minimized, thereby improving the reliability of the sleep test.
판단부(120)는 골전도 마이크(110)를 통하여 측정된 사용자의 수면 중 호흡음을 분석하여 사용자의 수면무호흡증의 정도를 판단할 수 있다. 일 예로 사용자의 수면무호흡증의 정도는 무호흡-저호흡지수(Apnea Hypopnea Index, AHI)로 판단될 수 있고, 무호흡-저호흡지수(AHI)는 호흡이 끊기는 무호흡(apnea)과 호흡이 아주 얕은 저호흡(hyponea)을 지수화한 것으로서 무호흡-저호흡지수가 30 이상이면 심한 수면무호흡증으로 간주될 수 있다. The determination unit 120 may determine a degree of sleep apnea of the user by analyzing the sound of breathing of the user measured through the bone conduction microphone 110. For example, the degree of sleep apnea of a user may be determined by the Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI), and the apnea-low breathing index (AHI) may be apnea and the breathing is very shallow. (hyponea) is an exponential index of apnea-low apnea above 30 can be considered severe sleep apnea.
가속도 센서(130)는 사용자의 움직임을 측정할 수 있다. 일 예로 가속도 센서(130)로는 3축 가속도 센서가 사용될 수 있으나 이에 제한되는 것은 아니며 3축 가속도 센서를 사용하는 경우에는 사용자의 움직임을 통한 수면 자세 측정이 가능하다. The acceleration sensor 130 may measure a user's movement. As an example, a three-axis acceleration sensor may be used as the acceleration sensor 130, but is not limited thereto. In the case of using the three-axis acceleration sensor, sleep posture measurement through user movement may be performed.
판단부(120)는 골전도 마이크(110)를 통하여 측정된 사용자의 수면(睡眠) 중 호흡음 및 가속도 센서(130)을 통하여 측정된 사용자의 움직임을 분석하여 사용자의 수면 장애 여부를 추가로 판단할 수 있다. 일 예로 사용자의 호흡음의 크기 정도 및 사용자의 움직임 정도를 통하여 수면 장애 여부의 판단이 가능하며, 호흡음의 크기 정도 및 사용자의 움직임 정도가 기준 수치 이상인 경우에 수면 장애에 해당한다고 판단할 수 있다. 이를 위하여 판단부(120)에는 수면 장애 여부 판단을 위한 알고리즘을 포함하는 프로그램이 내장되어 있을 수 있다. The determination unit 120 further analyzes the movement of the user measured through the breathing sound and the acceleration sensor 130 of the user's sleep measured through the bone conduction microphone 110 to further determine whether the user has a sleep disorder. can do. For example, it is possible to determine whether a sleep disorder is based on the magnitude of the user's breathing sound and the degree of movement of the user, and it may be determined that it corresponds to a sleep disorder when the magnitude of the breathing sound and the degree of the user's movement are higher than the reference value. . To this end, the determination unit 120 may have a program that includes an algorithm for determining sleep disorder.
제1 송신부(140)는 판단부(120)를 통하여 판단된 수면무호흡의 정도 및 가속도 센서(130)를 통하여 측정된 사용자의 움직임 및 판단부(120)를 통하여 판단된 수면 장애 여부 중 하나 이상을 송신할 수 있다. 일 예로 제1 송신부(140)는 유선 또는 무선 방식으로 통신하는 통신모듈이 사용될 수 있다. 제1 송신부(140)가 무선통신모듈인 경우에는 모바일 기기(스마트 폰 등)에 사용자의 수면무호흡의 정도, 움직임 및 수면 장애 여부 중 하나 이상이 전송될 수 있어 장소 및 시간 제약없이 용이하고 신속하게 전송된 정보의 확인이 가능하다. The first transmitter 140 determines whether the sleep apnea determined by the determiner 120 and the user's movement measured by the acceleration sensor 130 and sleep disturbances determined by the determiner 120 are determined. I can send it. For example, the first transmission unit 140 may use a communication module for communicating in a wired or wireless manner. When the first transmitter 140 is a wireless communication module, one or more of the degree of sleep apnea, movement, and sleep disturbances of the user may be transmitted to a mobile device (smartphone, etc.), easily and quickly without a place and time constraint. The transmitted information can be confirmed.

안대(200)에는 수면 데이터 측정장치(100)가 탈부착될 수 있다. 일 예로 접착 테이프를 이용하거나 벨크로(velcro) 방식을 통한 탈부착이 가능하다. 안대(200) 사용이 불편한 사용자의 경우에는 수면 데이터 측정장치(100)만을 사용할 수 있어 안대(200) 착용에 따른 불편함을 줄이면서 사용자의 수면 데이터 측정이 가능하므로 사용자의 사용 편의성을 증진시킬 수 있다. The sleep data measuring device 100 may be detachably attached to the eye patch 200. For example, the adhesive tape may be attached or detached using a velcro method. In the case of the user who is inconvenient to use the eye patch 200, only the sleep data measuring apparatus 100 may be used, so that the user's sleep data may be measured while reducing the inconvenience caused by wearing the eye patch 200, thereby improving user convenience. have.
끈(210)은 신축성을 가질 수 있고, 길이가 자동으로 조절될 수 있도록 구성될 수 있다. 일 예로 끈(210)은 안대(200)의 양측에 결합되어 길이가 자동으로 조절되도록 구성될 수 있다. 끈(210)의 길이가 자동으로 조절될 수 있기 때문에 사용자의 머리 크기에 맞도록 조절될 수 있고, 사용자의 수면 자세에 따른 착용의 불편함을 최소화할 수 있다. 또한 사용자가 안대(200)를 착용하지 않고 있는 상태에서는 끈(210)이 팽팽하게 당겨진 상태로 안대(200)에 밀착될 수 있어 휴대가 용이하다. The string 210 may be elastic and may be configured so that the length can be automatically adjusted. For example, the string 210 may be coupled to both sides of the eye patch 200 may be configured to automatically adjust the length. Since the length of the strap 210 can be automatically adjusted, it can be adjusted to fit the size of the user's head, and the inconvenience of wearing according to the user's sleeping posture can be minimized. In addition, when the user is not wearing the eyeglasses 200, the strap 210 may be in close contact with the eyeglasses 200 in a stretched state and thus may be easily carried.
측정부(220)는 사용자의 체온, 광용적 맥파(Photoplethysmography) 및 심전도 중 하나 이상을 측정할 수 있다. 이를 위하여 측정부(220)는 사용자의 체온을 측정할 수 있는 온도 센서, 광용적 맥파를 측정할 수 있는 맥파 센서 및 심전도를 측정할 수 있는 심전도 센서 중 하나 이상을 포함할 수 있다. 일 예로 맥파 센서는 사용자의 이마 부분의 혈류량을 이용하여 광용적 맥파 측정이 가능하다. The measurement unit 220 may measure one or more of a user's body temperature, light volume pulse wave, and electrocardiogram. To this end, the measurement unit 220 may include one or more of a temperature sensor for measuring the body temperature of the user, a pulse wave sensor for measuring the optical volume pulse wave, and an electrocardiogram sensor for measuring the electrocardiogram. For example, the pulse wave sensor may measure light volume pulse wave using the blood flow in the forehead portion of the user.
수면 데이터 측정장치(100)가 단독으로 사용되는 경우에 비하여 안대(200)에 수면 데이터 측정장치(100)가 부착되어 사용되는 경우에는 사용자의 체온, 광용적 맥파 및 심전도를 추가로 측정할 수 있어 보다 많은 수면과 관련된 정보의 측정이 가능하다. Compared to the case where the sleep data measuring device 100 is used alone, when the sleep data measuring device 100 is attached to the eye patch 200, the user's body temperature, light volume pulse wave and electrocardiogram may be additionally measured. More sleep-related information can be measured.
제2 송신부(230)는 상기 체온, 상기 광용적 맥파 및 상기 심전도 중 하나 이상을 송신할 수 있다. 일 예로 제2 송신부(230)는 유선 또는 무선 방식으로 통신하는 통신모듈이 사용될 수 있다. 제2 송신부(230)가 무선통신모듈인 경우에는 모바일 기기(스마트 폰 등)에 사용자의 체온, 광용적 맥파 및 심전도 중 하나 이상이 전송될 수 있어 장소 및 시간 제약없이 용이하고 신속하게 전송된 정보의 확인이 가능하다. The second transmitter 230 may transmit one or more of the body temperature, the optical volume pulse wave, and the electrocardiogram. As an example, the second transmitter 230 may use a communication module for communicating in a wired or wireless manner. When the second transmitter 230 is a wireless communication module, one or more of a user's body temperature, optical volume pulse wave, and electrocardiogram may be transmitted to a mobile device (smartphone, etc.), thereby easily and quickly transmitting information without restriction of place and time. It is possible to check.
