技术领域technical field
本发明是关于一种眼睛温度的测量与分析系统、接收分析装置及其方法,尤其是关于一种用于分析及判断眼睛表面温度的系统、分析装置及其方法。The present invention relates to an eye temperature measurement and analysis system, receiving analysis device and method thereof, in particular to a system, analysis device and method for analyzing and judging eye surface temperature.
背景技术Background technique
眼睛的表面温度是反应眼球的各部肌肉或各层组织的状态,故可作为代表眼睛健康或病变的一种重要指标。当眼睛处于发炎或是有肌肉调节紧张(痉挛)时,眼表温度就会增高,例如:睫状肌痉挛造成近视眼,会使得眼表温度升高。然而,对于干眼症患者而言,在眼睑开合之间,因为泪液流到眼表的数量减少,会导致眼表温度降低。因此,眼表温度的升高或降低可用于判断眼睛是否健康、接近病变或已发生病变。The surface temperature of the eye reflects the state of the muscles or layers of the eyeball, so it can be used as an important indicator of eye health or disease. When the eyes are inflamed or when there is muscle tension (spasm), the ocular surface temperature will increase. For example, myopia caused by ciliary muscle spasm will increase the ocular surface temperature. However, in dry eye patients, between eyelid opening and closing, there is a decrease in ocular surface temperature due to reduced tear flow to the ocular surface. Therefore, an increase or decrease in ocular surface temperature can be used to judge whether the eye is healthy, approaching disease, or has developed disease.
D.M.Maurice及A.S.Mushin于所撰论文“Production of Myopia in Rabbits byRaised Body-Temperature and Increased Intraocular Pressure”(The Lancet;November 26,1966,pp.1160-1162)中指出:当年轻兔子的体温升到41-43℃时,维持大约30分钟后,兔子的屈光度数(dioptres)就会达到-0.75以上。近视的原因就是眼睛屈光能力太大,致使平行于视轴的平行光线汇聚在视网膜前,不能在视网膜上形成清晰的成像。再者,视轴的变化也与眼球温度有正相关。因睫状肌的痉挛可能会刺激眼球视轴的拉长,从而形成无法逆转的真性近视,就本篇论文亦证明眼球温度和近视或眼球变化的关联性。当眼球的温度上升,球体本身就会膨胀。又眼球周边组织抵抗膨胀的力量较强,因此该膨胀就传往眼球底部发展。眼球在这种不当变形下,日积月累就造成了一个视轴较长的眼球。D.M.Maurice and A.S.Mushin pointed out in the paper "Production of Myopia in Rabbits by Raised Body-Temperature and Increased Intraocular Pressure" (The Lancet; November 26, 1966, pp.1160-1162): when the body temperature of young rabbits rises to 41 At -43°C, after maintaining for about 30 minutes, the dioptres of the rabbit will reach above -0.75. The reason for myopia is that the refractive power of the eye is too large, so that the parallel rays parallel to the visual axis converge in front of the retina and cannot form a clear image on the retina. Furthermore, the change of the visual axis is also positively correlated with the temperature of the eyeball. Because the spasm of the ciliary muscle may stimulate the elongation of the visual axis of the eyeball, thereby forming irreversible true myopia, this paper also proves the correlation between eyeball temperature and myopia or eyeball changes. As the temperature of the eyeball rises, the sphere itself expands. In addition, the tissue around the eyeball has a strong resistance to expansion, so the expansion is transmitted to the bottom of the eyeball for development. Under this improper deformation of the eyeball, an eyeball with a longer visual axis is formed over time.
又Tien-Chun Chang,等所撰论文“Application of digital infrared thermalimaging in determining inflammatory state and follow-up effect ofmethylprednisolone pulse therapy in patients with Graves’ophthalmopathy”(Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol;2008,246 vol.,pp.45-49)中指出:针对葛雷夫氏症(Graves’)以计算机化远红外线热影像测量局部的温度,并能有效协助观察并记录眼球的发炎程度。另,hyang-Rong Shih等所撰论文“The application of temperaturemeasurement of the eyes by digital infrared thermal imaging as a prognosticfactor of methylprednisolone pulse therapy for Graves’ophthalmopathy”(ActaOphthalmologica;2010 vol.88,pp.164-159)可得知:在大剂量类固醇治疗后眼睛温度平均来说会下降,温度下降的程度与治疗前的眼睛温度成正相关。此等研究显示远红外线热影像的温度测量有助于预测大剂量类固醇治疗甲状腺眼病变的效果。And Tien-Chun Chang, etc. wrote the paper "Application of digital infrared thermalimaging in determining inflammatory state and follow-up effect of methylprednisolone pulse therapy in patients with Graves'ophthalmopathy" (Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol; 2008, 246 vol., pp. 45-49) pointed out that for Graves' disease (Graves'), the computerized far-infrared thermal imaging measures the local temperature, and can effectively assist in observing and recording the degree of inflammation of the eyeball. In addition, the paper "The application of temperature measurement of the eyes by digital infrared thermal imaging as a prognostic factor of methylprednisolone pulse therapy for Graves' ophthalmopathy" (ActaOphthalmologica; 2010 vol.88, pp.164-159) written by hyang-Rong Shih et al. It was learned that eye temperature decreases on average after high-dose steroid treatment, and the degree of temperature decrease is positively correlated with pre-treatment eye temperature. These studies have shown that temperature measurements from far-infrared thermography can help predict the response to high-dose steroid therapy for thyroid eye lesions.
此外,因为不同用途的电子组件不断微型化,针对可戴式或嵌入式医用(或矫正)装置整合该等电子组件的应用也越来越多。例如:美国专利US2012/0245444提出一种结合生物芯片可戴式隐形眼镜,用以侦测角膜前(泪)膜中的特定化学物质浓度。又美国专利US2010/0234717、US2013/0041245及PCT国际专利WO03/001991提出一种隐形眼镜结合电子压力传感器,用以测量眼睛内压力。然鲜少专利或文献提出隐形眼镜结合电子温度传感器以测量眼睛的表面温度,更缺乏相关前案有公开使用具温度测量功能的隐形眼镜以判断眼睛健康或病变的技术内容。In addition, due to the continuous miniaturization of electronic components for different purposes, there are more and more applications integrating such electronic components for wearable or embedded medical (or orthopedic) devices. For example, US Patent US2012/0245444 proposes a wearable contact lens combined with a biochip to detect the concentration of specific chemical substances in the precorneal (tear) film. Also US2010/0234717, US2013/0041245 and PCT international patent WO03/001991 proposed a contact lens combined with an electronic pressure sensor to measure the pressure in the eye. However, there are few patents or literatures proposing contact lenses combined with electronic temperature sensors to measure the surface temperature of the eyes, and there is even a lack of related prior patents that disclose the technical content of using contact lenses with temperature measurement functions to determine eye health or disease.
综上所述,眼睛医疗或视力矫正亟需要一种能判断眼睛健康或病变的系统及方法,由此可以广泛用于预防医学及矫正监测。To sum up, eye medical treatment or vision correction urgently needs a system and method capable of judging eye health or disease, which can be widely used in preventive medicine and correction monitoring.

说明书和权利要求中的用语“包含”、“包括”和“具有”以及其任何变化形式旨在覆盖非排他性的包括,以便包括一系列要素的程序、方法、系统、对象、装置、或设备不必限制于那些要素,而是可以包括未清楚地列出或这样的程序、方法、系统、项目、装置、或设备固有的其它要素。The terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, in the description and claims are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion such that a program, method, system, object, means, or device that includes a series of elements does not necessarily is limited to those elements, but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such a procedure, method, system, item, means, or apparatus.
如前所述,眼表温度的升高或降低可用于判断眼睛是否健康、接近病变或已发生病变。尤其是睫状肌痉挛会造成近视眼,并使得眼表温度升高。下列表一显示假性近视群及正常视力群的测量眼睛表面温度的数据。As mentioned earlier, an increase or decrease in ocular surface temperature can be used to determine whether the eye is healthy, approaching disease, or has developed disease. Especially ciliary muscle spasm can cause myopia and make the ocular surface temperature rise. Table 1 below shows the measured eye surface temperature data of the pseudo-myopia group and the normal vision group.
表一Table I
医学文献亦指出:当身体温度上升(发高烧)或是眼睛表面温度会因为眼睛短距离盯着某物(书本、电视、计算机及手机等),尤其短距离及长时间注视于一目标物,会导致睫状肌长期处于高张力的状态,由于此种高张力的存在使得眼球温度随着增加。虽然白天长时间的睫状肌过度使用,但在晚上睡觉时,睫状肌会渐渐松弛,故温度应该会慢慢下降。另一方面,因为睡觉时眼睑会紧闭,故造成热量向外释放受到阻碍,亦即眼球温度仍不容易或甚至无法下降。同时,在睡觉时,因为身体的姿势改变(例如平躺),眼球的姿势也随着改变,造成眼球的玻璃体周边的压力更为升高,高温及高压就由内部传导到眼球底部的部位。故易造成眼球在视轴方向的长度变长。因日复一日相同问题一再发生,眼球的视轴长度就不断变长,从而使得成像形成在视网膜之前,亦即就产生近视。Medical literature also pointed out that when the body temperature rises (high fever) or the surface temperature of the eyes will be caused by staring at something (books, TV, computer, mobile phone, etc.) It will cause the ciliary muscle to be in a state of high tension for a long time, and the temperature of the eyeball will increase due to the existence of such high tension. Although the ciliary muscle is overused for a long time during the day, when you sleep at night, the ciliary muscle will gradually relax, so the temperature should slowly drop. On the other hand, because the eyelids will be closed tightly during sleep, the release of heat to the outside is hindered, that is, the temperature of the eyeballs is still not easy or even impossible to drop. At the same time, when sleeping, the posture of the eyeball changes due to the change of body posture (such as lying down), which causes the pressure around the vitreous body of the eyeball to increase, and the high temperature and high pressure are transmitted from the inside to the bottom of the eyeball. Therefore, it is easy to cause the length of the eyeball in the direction of the visual axis to become longer. Because the same problem occurs again and again day after day, the visual axis length of the eyeball continues to lengthen, so that the image is formed in front of the retina, that is, myopia occurs.
图1是表一中假性近视群及正常视力群的眼睛表面日间与夜间温度差异的折线图。由图可清楚得知假性近视群的眼睛表面夜间与日间温度的差异较大,亦即其眼睛表面的夜间温度明显较高。反观,正常视力群的眼睛表面夜间与日间温度的差异较小,亦即其眼睛表面的夜间温度略高一点。因此,可以通过记录眼睛表面温度的数据,从而分析并判断眼睛是否健康、接近病变或已发生病变,故能用于预防医学及矫正监测。本发明不仅限于近视眼的判断,干眼症或其它呈现温度变化的眼睛症状亦可应用于本发明的各实施例,或因应温度变化的幅度及方向适当改变各实施例的条件。图1是两群人于日间与夜间进行眼睛表面温度的测量,本发明亦可以用于长时间测量同一人在日间与夜间的眼睛表面温度的差异平均值,或长时间测量同一人于每日相同时间点的眼睛表面温度的最大变化值或平均值,或特定时段眼睛表面温度或是特定时段平均温度的差异及变化。前述实施例并不限制本发明,长时间或短时间眼睛表面温度的差异值或平均值都可以应用于本发明。Fig. 1 is a line graph of the temperature difference between daytime and nighttime of the eye surface of the pseudomyopia group and the normal vision group in Table 1. It can be clearly seen from the figure that the eye surface temperature of the pseudomyopic group has a large difference between nighttime and daytime temperatures, that is, the nighttime temperature of the eye surface is significantly higher. In contrast, the difference between the nighttime and daytime temperature of the eye surface of the normal vision group is smaller, that is, the nighttime temperature of the eye surface is slightly higher. Therefore, it is possible to analyze and judge whether the eye is healthy, close to a disease, or has a disease by recording the data of the eye surface temperature, so it can be used for preventive medicine and correction monitoring. The present invention is not limited to the judgment of myopia, dry eye or other eye symptoms showing temperature changes can also be applied to various embodiments of the present invention, or the conditions of various embodiments can be appropriately changed according to the magnitude and direction of temperature changes. Fig. 1 is the measurement of the eye surface temperature of two groups of people during the day and night, the present invention can also be used to measure the difference average of the eye surface temperature of the same person during the day and night for a long time, or measure the same person for a long time The maximum change or average value of the eye surface temperature at the same time point every day, or the difference and change of the eye surface temperature or the average temperature of a certain period of time. The foregoing embodiments do not limit the present invention, and the difference or average value of eye surface temperature over a long period of time or within a short period of time can be applied to the present invention.
如前所述,眼表温度的升高或降低可用于判断眼睛是否健康、接近病变或已发生病变。尤其是干眼症因眼泪分泌不足会造成使得眼表温度的明显改变。下列表二显示干眼症患者群及无干眼症者群的测量眼睛表面温度的数据。As mentioned earlier, an increase or decrease in ocular surface temperature can be used to determine whether the eye is healthy, approaching disease, or has developed disease. In particular, dry eye syndrome can cause significant changes in ocular surface temperature due to insufficient tear secretion. Table 2 below shows the measured ocular surface temperature data of the dry eye patient group and the non-dry eye patient group.
表二Table II
To:眨眼打开眼睑立即测量眼睛表面温度。To: Measure the eye surface temperature immediately by blinking and opening the eyelids.
Tc:于To测量后的第6秒(或第6秒至第10秒之间选定任一时间点)再次测量眼睛表面温度,且于该两次测量之间眼睑是持续张开。Tc: Measure the eye surface temperature again 6 seconds after the To measurement (or select any time point between the 6th second and the 10th second), and the eyelids are kept open between the two measurements.
Td:是To和Tc的差异值。Td: is the difference between To and Tc.
由表二所载数值可知,干眼症患者群的差异值Td明显较无干眼症者群的差异值Td低。因此可以通过此一事实作为判断干眼症发生的基础,并可列出判断准则如下:当该差异值Td小于0.2℃时,可认为眼睛应有干眼症;当该差异值Td介于0.2℃~0.4℃时,可认为眼睛可能有干眼症的发生风险;当该差异值大于0.4℃时,则可认为眼睛发生干眼症的机率低。本发明不受此实施例的限制,也可直接利用温度值To或Tc的单一数值定出另一判断准则,或是多次温度值To或Tc所形成的曲线的变化(突增、突减、递增或递减)或斜率变化定出不同的判断准则。实际上应随不同眼睛症状而改变判断准则的内容及决定方式。It can be seen from the values in Table 2 that the difference Td of the dry eye group is significantly lower than that of the non-dry eye group. Therefore, this fact can be used as the basis for judging the occurrence of dry eye, and the judgment criteria can be listed as follows: when the difference Td is less than 0.2°C, it can be considered that the eyes should have dry eye; when the difference Td is between 0.2 When the temperature ranges from 0.4°C to 0.4°C, it can be considered that the eyes may have the risk of dry eye syndrome; when the difference is greater than 0.4°C, it can be considered that the probability of dry eye syndrome is low. The present invention is not limited by this embodiment, also can directly utilize the temperature value To or the single numerical value of Tc to determine another judgment criterion, or the variation (sudden increase, sudden decrease) of the curve formed by multiple temperature values To or Tc , increasing or decreasing) or slope changes set different judgment criteria. In fact, the content of the judgment criteria and the way of decision should be changed with different eye symptoms.
图2是本发明眼睛温度测量装置的示意图。此实施例的眼睛温度测量装置是一具有温度测量功能的隐形眼镜20,但本发明不以此为限制,可以是置于眼球表面以测量眼睛温度的任何配戴装置。该隐形眼镜20主要包含一透明基材21、一温度感测组件(或温度感测电路)22、一天线23及一信号传送组件24。透明基材21的材料可为硅水胶(siliconehydrogel,例如:HEMA),因具有高透氧率与亲水性等优点,故能提高配载者的舒适性,并适合长时间配戴。透明基材21的材料亦可以是其它透明的高分子材料,并不受此实施例的限制。该天线23可以向外部发送无线信号,亦可以用于接受外部能量,例如:通过射频信号或其它电磁波使得天线23形成电感耦合(inductive link或inductive coupling)效应,从而产生电能供应温该度感测组件22及信号传送组件24所需的电力。另外,发出射频信号或其它电磁波的供能装置可以设置于头巾内或摆放于口袋中,或是整合至其它携带型装置(例如:手机、蓝芽耳机等)内。但本实施例不以此为限制,亦可以将一微机电(MEMS)的电池设于该透明基材21表面或内部。Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the eye temperature measuring device of the present invention. The eye temperature measuring device in this embodiment is a contact lens 20 with temperature measuring function, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and can be any wearing device placed on the surface of the eyeball to measure the temperature of the eye. The contact lens 20 mainly includes a transparent substrate 21 , a temperature sensing component (or temperature sensing circuit) 22 , an antenna 23 and a signal transmission component 24 . The material of the transparent substrate 21 can be silicone hydrogel (such as HEMA), which has the advantages of high oxygen permeability and hydrophilicity, so it can improve the wearer's comfort and is suitable for long-time wear. The material of the transparent substrate 21 can also be other transparent polymer materials, and is not limited by this embodiment. The antenna 23 can send wireless signals to the outside, and can also be used to receive external energy. For example, the antenna 23 can form an inductive coupling (inductive link or inductive coupling) effect through radio frequency signals or other electromagnetic waves, thereby generating electric energy supply and temperature sensing. The power required by the component 22 and the signal transmission component 24. In addition, the energy supply device that emits radio frequency signals or other electromagnetic waves can be placed in a scarf or placed in a pocket, or integrated into other portable devices (such as mobile phones, bluetooth earphones, etc.). However, this embodiment is not limited thereto, and a micro-electromechanical (MEMS) battery can also be disposed on the surface or inside of the transparent substrate 21 .
由于受限于隐形眼镜20的面积,该天线23的循环数或尺寸亦相当受限制。为能补偿将该天线23的信号强度可能会不足够,可以于眼睛周围(例如眼眶)另黏贴一外部天线,故可将信号转传并加强,以利较远处的信号接收器可清楚接收到。Due to the limited area of the contact lens 20 , the cycle number or size of the antenna 23 is also quite limited. In order to compensate that the signal strength of the antenna 23 may not be sufficient, an external antenna can be pasted around the eyes (such as the eye socket), so that the signal can be transmitted and strengthened, so that the signal receiver at a distance can clearly received.
为了长期观察眼球在白天与/或睡眠时的温度变化,在透明基材21表面以隐形眼镜20的中心为共同中心,涂布数个能感测温度的环状线路(即温度感测组件22),该环状线路可以是多个圆形环状线、多边形环状线或不规则环状线。该温度感测组件22可以是特殊应用IC(Application-Specific IC;ASIC)或是微机电(MEMS)组件,或以奈米、匹克(PECO)等级的化学材料、金属材料或生物材料形成的感测组件,能用来测量温度或反应温度变化。又该信号传送组件24可以将温度感测组件22所产生的电气信号(例如电压信号或电流信号)转换为射频(RF)信号,并通过天线23向外部传送无线信号。但本发明不限于将电气信号转换为射频(RF)信号,亦可以转换为蓝牙(Bluetooth)或WiFi等所规定型式的信号。类似前所述的环状线路,天线23是涂布于透明基材21表面并在该温度感测组件22外围的多个环状线路,可以将符合通信协议的无线信号向外部发送。In order to observe the temperature changes of the eyeball during the day and/or during sleep for a long time, on the surface of the transparent substrate 21 with the center of the contact lens 20 as the common center, several annular circuits capable of sensing temperature (i.e. the temperature sensing element 22) are coated. ), the circular line can be a plurality of circular circular lines, polygonal circular lines or irregular circular lines. The temperature sensing component 22 can be a special application IC (Application-Specific IC; ASIC) or a micro-electromechanical (MEMS) component, or a sensor formed with nanometer, pico (PECO) grade chemical materials, metal materials or biological materials. Measuring components that can be used to measure temperature or react to temperature changes. In addition, the signal transmission component 24 can convert the electrical signal (such as voltage signal or current signal) generated by the temperature sensing component 22 into a radio frequency (RF) signal, and transmit the wireless signal to the outside through the antenna 23 . However, the present invention is not limited to converting electrical signals into radio frequency (RF) signals, and may also be converted into signals of prescribed types such as Bluetooth or WiFi. Similar to the aforementioned loop lines, the antenna 23 is a plurality of loop lines coated on the surface of the transparent substrate 21 and surrounding the temperature sensing component 22, and can send wireless signals conforming to the communication protocol to the outside.
图3是图2的眼睛温度测量装置附着于眼睛表面的示意图。如图所示,当受测者将隐形眼镜20置于眼球30表面,因该具环状线路的温度感测组件22及天线23是设在非视觉受光区域,故不会挡住进入瞳孔的光线,不仅夜间睡眠时可以配戴,也适合在日间活动时配戴而同步测量。此种具有温度测量功能的隐形眼镜20可以于正常生活或工作中长时配戴,受测者不需要受限于温度测量工具而只能驻留于受测区域,例如:位于现有技术所使用的红外线测温计的前方,故方便于活动、睡眠或长时间的测量,从而增加判断结果的正确性。FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the eye temperature measuring device of FIG. 2 attached to the surface of the eye. As shown in the figure, when the subject puts the contact lens 20 on the surface of the eyeball 30, the temperature sensing element 22 and the antenna 23 with the ring circuit are located in the non-visual light-receiving area, so the light entering the pupil will not be blocked , not only can be worn during sleep at night, but also suitable for simultaneous measurement during daytime activities. This kind of contact lens 20 with temperature measurement function can be worn for a long time in normal life or work, and the subject does not need to be limited by the temperature measurement tool and can only stay in the measured area, for example: located in the prior art The front of the infrared thermometer used is convenient for activities, sleep or long-term measurement, thereby increasing the correctness of the judgment result.
图4是本发明眼睛温度的测量与分析系统的示意图。系统40包含一隐形眼镜20、一移动式询答单元(mobile interrogation unit)41、一数据接收单元42和一计算机43。该移动式询答单元41通过环状感应回路411以无线方式提供该信号传送组件24及温度感测组件22所需的电力,并从隐形眼镜20的天线23接收包括眼睛表面温度数据的无线信号,并将该无线信号进行解调变以得到该电气信号,进而将该电气信号进行模拟至数字转换以得到一相关于该电气信号的数字数据,再将该数字数据进行调变转换载于一载波上以得到一射频信号。该数据接收单元42从该移动式询答单元41以无线接收该射频信号,并将该射频信号进行解调变以得到该相关于该电气信号的数字数据。计算机43内存一数字数据与眼睛表面温度对应表,且电连接于该数据接收单元42以接收该数字数据,并据以查表以得到一眼睛表面温度,并予以显示和储存。Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the eye temperature measurement and analysis system of the present invention. The system 40 includes a contact lens 20 , a mobile interrogation unit 41 , a data receiving unit 42 and a computer 43 . The mobile interrogation unit 41 wirelessly provides the power required by the signal transmission component 24 and the temperature sensing component 22 through the loop induction loop 411, and receives a wireless signal including eye surface temperature data from the antenna 23 of the contact lens 20 , and demodulate the wireless signal to obtain the electrical signal, and then perform analog-to-digital conversion on the electrical signal to obtain a digital data related to the electrical signal, and then carry out modulation conversion on the digital data in a carrier to obtain a radio frequency signal. The data receiving unit 42 wirelessly receives the radio frequency signal from the mobile interrogation unit 41 and demodulates the radio frequency signal to obtain the digital data related to the electrical signal. The computer 43 stores a table corresponding to digital data and eye surface temperature, and is electrically connected to the data receiving unit 42 to receive the digital data, and looks up the table to obtain an eye surface temperature, which is displayed and stored.
计算机43可以分析及所储存的眼睛表面温度数据,并判断该眼睛表面温度是否正常。例如:可利用眼睛表面夜间与日间温度的差异(参见表一)判断是否有近视或假性近视发生;当该差异值小于0.1℃时,可认为眼睛无近视的疑虑;当该差异值介于0.1℃~0.3℃时,可认为眼睛可能有近视;当该差异值大于0.3℃时,则可认为眼睛应有近视。前开判断的结果可以显示于计算机43屏幕上,或以数据接收单元42的指示灯的颜色呈现,例如:绿色代表无近视的疑虑、黄色代表可能有近视的存在及红色代表有近视的发生。本发明不受上述实施例的判断标准限制,可依照实际眼睛表面温度及不同症状而决定。The computer 43 can analyze and store the eye surface temperature data, and judge whether the eye surface temperature is normal. For example: the difference between the temperature of the eye surface at night and day (see Table 1) can be used to judge whether there is myopia or pseudomyopia; When the temperature is between 0.1°C and 0.3°C, it can be considered that the eyes may be myopic; when the difference is greater than 0.3°C, it can be considered that the eyes should be myopic. The result of the previous judgment can be displayed on the screen of the computer 43, or presented by the color of the indicator light of the data receiving unit 42, for example: green represents no doubt of myopia, yellow represents the possibility of myopia and red represents the occurrence of myopia. The present invention is not limited by the judgment criteria of the above embodiments, and may be determined according to the actual eye surface temperature and different symptoms.
该移动式询答单元41、数据接收单元42及数据分析判断(本实施例是由计算机43负责)可以整合为一接收分析装置,该接收分析装置可以是一已安装特定软件或应用程序的计算机、平板计算机、智能型手机或智能型手表,也可将环状感应回路411与该等装置结合或内嵌入该等装置。This mobile inquiry unit 41, data receiving unit 42 and data analysis judgment (the present embodiment is responsible by computer 43) can be integrated into a reception analysis device, and this reception analysis device can be a computer that has installed specific software or application program , a tablet computer, a smart phone or a smart watch, the ring-shaped induction loop 411 can also be combined with or embedded in these devices.
图5是本发明眼睛温度的测量与分析系统的另一实施例的示意图。系统50是使用手机51或桌上型计算机52作为接收分析装置,该接收分析装置至少包含一信号接收单元及一分析单元,该信号接收单元接受隐形眼镜20发出的无线信号,且该分析单元会根据该无线信号分析及判断该眼睛表面温度是否正常。Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the eye temperature measurement and analysis system of the present invention.

图6是本发明眼睛温度的测量与分析方法的流程图。本发明提供一种眼睛温度的测量与分析方法,其包含下列步骤:如步骤61所示,通过一具有温度测量功能的隐形眼镜测量眼睛的表面温度;如步骤62所示,以无线信号传送该表面温度的数据;如步骤63所示,接受该无线信号;如步骤64所示,以及根据该无线信号分析及判断该眼睛的表面温度是否正常。Fig. 6 is a flow chart of the eye temperature measurement and analysis method of the present invention. The present invention provides a method for measuring and analyzing eye temperature, which comprises the following steps: as shown in step 61, measuring the surface temperature of the eye through a contact lens with a temperature measurement function; as shown in step 62, transmitting the temperature of the eye with a wireless signal Surface temperature data; as shown in step 63, accept the wireless signal; as shown in step 64, analyze and judge whether the surface temperature of the eye is normal according to the wireless signal.
相较于图3的隐形眼镜20,图7是本发明眼睛温度测量装置的另一实施例的示意图,当此实施例的眼睛温度测量装置70被配戴于眼球表面时,并未覆盖瞳孔。另,此实施例的装置亦可应用于前述眼睛温度的测量与分析系统中,亦即能接受移动式询答单元41的电力供应并传送含有眼睛表面温度数据的无线信号。该眼睛温度测量装置70主要包含一基材71、一温度感测组件(或温度感测电路)72、一天线73及一信号传送组件74。本实施例的基材71的材料可为硅水胶(silicone hydrogel)聚酯(polyester)或聚丙烯酰胺,可让光线全穿透、半穿透或完全不穿透的材料均适合。基材71亦可以是其它高分子材料制成,软质或硬质材料(例如:聚硅氧聚合物、聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯,需配合眼球弧度成型)均可,然并不受此实施例的限制。该天线73可以向外部发送无线信号,亦可以用于接受外部能量,例如:通过射频信号或其它电磁波使得天线73形成电感耦合(inductive link或inductive coupling)效应,从而产生电能供应温度感测组件72及信号传送组件74所需的电力。另外,可于基材71表面设置一微型电池,其所产生电能可直接供应温该度感测组件72及信号传送组件74所需的电力。Compared with the contact lens 20 in FIG. 3 , FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the eye temperature measuring device of the present invention. When the eye temperature measuring device 70 of this embodiment is worn on the surface of the eyeball, the pupil is not covered. In addition, the device of this embodiment can also be applied to the aforementioned eye temperature measurement and analysis system, that is, it can receive power supply from the mobile interrogation unit 41 and transmit wireless signals containing eye surface temperature data. The eye temperature measuring device 70 mainly includes a substrate 71 , a temperature sensing component (or temperature sensing circuit) 72 , an antenna 73 and a signal transmission component 74 . The material of the substrate 71 in this embodiment can be silicone hydrogel, polyester or polyacrylamide, and any material that allows light to fully penetrate, semi-transmit or not penetrate at all is suitable. The base material 71 can also be made of other polymer materials, soft or hard materials (for example: polysiloxane polymer, polymethyl methacrylate, need to match the shape of the eyeball arc), but it is not subject to this implementation. Example limitations. The antenna 73 can send wireless signals to the outside, and can also be used to receive external energy, for example: the antenna 73 forms an inductive coupling (inductive link or inductive coupling) effect through radio frequency signals or other electromagnetic waves, thereby generating electric energy to supply the temperature sensing component 72 And the power required by the signal transmission component 74. In addition, a micro battery can be arranged on the surface of the base material 71 , and the electric energy generated by it can directly supply the electric power required by the temperature sensing component 72 and the signal transmission component 74 .
由于眼睛温度测量装置70是置于眼睑内(参见图8),因此其面积可能会受到限制,从而该天线73的循环数或尺寸亦受限。为能补偿将该天线73的信号强度可能会不足够,可以于眼睛周围(例如眼眶)另黏贴一外部天线,故可将信号转传并加强,以利较远处的信号接收器可清楚接收到。Since the eye temperature measuring device 70 is placed inside the eyelid (see FIG. 8 ), its area may be limited, so the number of loops or the size of the antenna 73 is also limited. In order to compensate that the signal strength of the antenna 73 may not be sufficient, an external antenna can be pasted around the eyes (such as the eye socket), so that the signal can be transmitted and strengthened, so that the signal receiver at a distance can clearly received.
为了长期观察眼球在白天与/或睡眠时的温度变化,在基材71表面涂布数个能感测温度的环状线路(即温度感测组件72),该环状线路可以是多个圆形环状线、多边形环状线或不规则环状线。该温度感测组件72可以是特殊应用IC(Application-Specific IC;ASIC)或是微机电(MEMS)组件,或以奈米、匹克(PECO)等级的化学材料、金属材料或生物材料形成的感测组件,能用来测量温度或反应温度变化。又该信号传送组件74可以将温度感测组件72所产生的电气信号(例如电压信号或电流信号)转换为射频(RF)信号,并通过天线73向外部传送无线信号。但本发明不限于将电气信号转换为射频(RF)信号,亦可以转换为蓝牙(Bluetooth)或WiFi等所规定型式的信号。类似前所述的环状线路,天线73是涂布于基材71表面并在该温度感测组件72外围的多个环状线路,可以将符合通信协议的无线信号向外部发送。In order to observe the temperature change of the eyeball during the day and/or during sleep for a long time, several annular circuits (ie temperature sensing components 72) capable of sensing temperature are coated on the surface of the substrate 71, and the annular circuits can be a plurality of circles circular, polygonal, or irregular circular. The temperature sensing component 72 can be a special application IC (Application-Specific IC; ASIC) or a micro-electromechanical (MEMS) component, or a sensor formed with nanometer, pico (PECO) grade chemical materials, metal materials or biological materials. Measuring components that can be used to measure temperature or react to temperature changes. In addition, the signal transmitting component 74 can convert the electrical signal (such as a voltage signal or a current signal) generated by the temperature sensing component 72 into a radio frequency (RF) signal, and transmit the wireless signal to the outside through the antenna 73 . However, the present invention is not limited to converting electrical signals into radio frequency (RF) signals, and may also be converted into signals of prescribed types such as Bluetooth or WiFi. Similar to the aforementioned loop lines, the antenna 73 is a plurality of loop lines coated on the surface of the substrate 71 and surrounding the temperature sensing component 72, and can send wireless signals conforming to the communication protocol to the outside.
图8是本发明眼睛温度测量装置附着于眼睛表面的示意图。如图所示,当受测者将眼睛温度测量装置70置于眼球30表面及眼睑(下眼睑或上眼睑)内侧,因位于非视觉受光区域故基材71可选用不透明材料,亦即不需考虑是否会挡住进入瞳孔的光线,不仅夜间睡眠时可以配戴,也适合在日间活动时配戴而同步测量。基材71的形状可以如图所示的半月型或长方形,以利置于眼睑内侧。Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of the eye temperature measuring device of the present invention attached to the surface of the eye. As shown in the figure, when the subject places the eye temperature measuring device 70 on the surface of the eyeball 30 and the inside of the eyelid (lower eyelid or upper eyelid), the base material 71 can be made of an opaque material because it is located in the non-visual light-receiving area, that is, no need Considering whether it will block the light entering the pupil, it can be worn not only when sleeping at night, but also suitable for simultaneous measurement during daytime activities. The shape of the substrate 71 can be half-moon or rectangular as shown in the figure, so as to be placed on the inside of the eyelid.
