When the pressure point of the head changes, the multimode optical fiber senses instantly, and the optical fiber generates bending loss.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the deformers are arranged in two dimensions, and then the number of deformers per unit area or the modulation depth of the deformers in uniform distribution can be changed in a gradient manner by adjusting the number of deformers per unit area or changing the modulation depth of the deformers in uniform distribution.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the pillow core is divided into three independent areas for arranging deformers. For ease of discrimination, the fiber loss states of three separate regions may be encoded.

Similar to the principle, the optical loss values in the three optical fibers in fig. 3 will be different according to the pressure point of the head. By encoding the three regions, counting and display can be made in accordance with the encoding change.
