耳戴式生理檢測裝置 Ear-worn physiological detecting device

本創作相關於一種耳戴式生理檢測裝置,特別地是,相關於一種結合腦電電極以及光感測器的耳戴式生理檢測裝置。 The present invention relates to an ear-worn physiological detecting device, and more particularly to an ear-worn physiological detecting device that combines an electroencephalogram electrode and a photo sensor.

腦電訊號可用於診斷各種的病症,可用來瞭解腦部之活動情形及功能,甚至也可用來得知一個人的意識狀態,因此,是相當有用的生理訊號。 EEG signals can be used to diagnose a variety of conditions, can be used to understand the activity and function of the brain, and can even be used to know a person's state of consciousness, therefore, is a very useful physiological signal.

傳統檢測腦電訊號時多採用頭帽(headgear)來設置電極,因此,受試者需要先戴上頭框,以確定電極與頭皮的接觸位置,之後再利用導電膏以及膠帶等將電極固定於頭皮上,以完成取得腦電訊號所需的設置,安裝步驟較為複雜,所需時間亦長,另外,由於每個電極皆會有接線連接至檢測裝置,還增加了經由連接線而感應環境雜訊的機會。 In the traditional detection of EEG signals, headgear is often used to set the electrodes. Therefore, the subject needs to wear a head frame to determine the contact position between the electrodes and the scalp, and then fix the electrodes with conductive paste and tape. On the scalp, in order to complete the settings required to obtain the EEG signal, the installation procedure is complicated and takes a long time. In addition, since each electrode has a wiring connection to the detecting device, the sensing environment is also increased via the connecting wire. The opportunity of the news.

光感測器可提供許多有關心血管系統(cardiovascular system)的有用生理資訊,例如,心率,血氧濃度,血壓,以及自律神經活動等,而且,由於光感測器設置簡單,非侵入形式,適合穿戴形式,已越來越普及。舉例而言,常見的一種光感測器是光體積變化描記圖(Photoplethysmography,PPG)感測器,其主要是利用穿透或反射自受試者之血液,例如,動脈血液或血流灌溉組織(perfused tissue),的光訊號而監測受試者的生理參數,這是因為,光訊號會因與受試者的血液產生互動而產生變化,例如,因吸收、反射、及/或擴散等而導致衰減,因而可於光訊號中留下可供分析以產生相關生理參數的特性。 Light sensors provide many useful physiological information about the cardiovascular system, such as heart rate, blood oxygen concentration, blood pressure, and autonomic nerve activity, and, because of the simple, non-invasive form of the light sensor, Suitable for wearing forms, has become more and more popular. For example, a common type of photosensor is a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor, which mainly uses blood that penetrates or reflects from a subject, for example, arterial blood or blood flow to irrigate tissue. Perfused tissue, which monitors the physiological parameters of the subject because the light signal changes due to interaction with the subject's blood, for example, due to absorption, reflection, and/or diffusion. This results in attenuation, which leaves characteristics in the optical signal that can be analyzed to produce relevant physiological parameters.

不過,光感測器雖然適合穿戴形式,但卻也對於移動所產生的雜訊相當敏感,故對於設置穩定性有較高的需求,通常光感測器的設置 位置包括指尖,耳垂,額頭,以及手腕等,其中,指尖及手腕由於是人體經常動作的位置,在作為設置位置時,相較於耳朵以及頭部,的確較容易產生雜訊,而相較於設置於頭部,耳朵則是提供了較具美感的配戴方式,更適合於日常生活中使用。 However, although the light sensor is suitable for wearing, it is also very sensitive to the noise generated by the movement, so there is a high demand for setting stability, usually the setting of the light sensor. The position includes the fingertip, the earlobe, the forehead, and the wrist. Among them, the fingertip and the wrist are the positions where the human body often moves. When it is set as the position, it is easier to generate noise than the ear and the head. Compared with the ear, the ear provides a more aesthetical wearing method, which is more suitable for daily use.

一般在測量腦電訊號時,耳朵由於構造以及位置皆與頭部相分離,不易受腦部活動的影響,一直被視為是設置參考電極的最佳位置之一,另外,耳朵附近的區域正好對應至大腦的顳葉區,因此,當腦電電極分設於參考點以及顳葉區時,就可在單個耳朵附近取得腦電訊號,此時,若可再增加上光感測器,將可更上層樓。 Generally, when measuring the EEG signal, the ear is separated from the head due to its structure and position, and is not easily affected by brain activity. It has always been regarded as one of the best positions for setting the reference electrode. In addition, the area near the ear is just right. Corresponding to the temporal lobe area of the brain, therefore, when the EEG electrode is located at the reference point and the temporal lobe area, the EEG signal can be obtained near a single ear. At this time, if the glazing sensor can be added, Can be more upstairs.

如前所述地,心率是光感測器可提供的資訊之一,而心率除了受自律神經控制外,亦可會因呼吸影響自律神經而產生變化,即所謂的竇性心律不整(Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia,RSA),亦即,吸氣期間會使心跳加速以及呼吸期間則使心跳減緩的現象,因此,可藉由測量心率而取得使用者的呼吸行為,另外,根據研究顯示,呼氣與吸氣會造成血管內血流量的波動,且此波動亦會隨著血流到達腦部,進而造成腦波於低頻區段,例如,低於0.5赫茲,的波動,因此,亦可透過觀察腦波而得知呼吸模式,再者,由於心臟的竇房節及血管系統亦受自律神經系統的調控,而且,自律神經系統亦會透過壓力受器系統(baroreceptor system)將心率及血壓的改變饋送回腦部,進而影響腦部的功能與運作,例如,影響大腦皮質,並可由EEG測得,因此,三者間存在著彼此影響的關係,且三者間良好的同步性可代表人體處於較為放鬆的狀態,是相當有用的資訊。 As mentioned above, heart rate is one of the information that light sensors can provide. In addition to being controlled by autonomic nerves, heart rate can also change due to respiratory effects on autonomic nerves, so-called sinus arrhythmia (Respiratory Sinus). Arrhythmia (RSA), that is, the phenomenon that the heartbeat is accelerated during inhalation and the heartbeat is slowed down during breathing. Therefore, the user's breathing behavior can be obtained by measuring the heart rate. In addition, according to research, exhalation and inhalation Gas can cause fluctuations in blood flow in the blood vessels, and this fluctuation will also reach the brain with the blood flow, which causes the brain waves to fluctuate in the low frequency segment, for example, below 0.5 Hz. Therefore, it can also observe the brain waves. The breathing pattern is known. Furthermore, since the sinus node and vascular system of the heart are also regulated by the autonomic nervous system, the autonomic nervous system also feeds back heart rate and blood pressure changes through the baroreceptor system. The brain, which in turn affects the function and function of the brain, for example, affects the cerebral cortex and can be measured by EEG. Therefore, there is a relationship between the three, and three Between good synchronization may represent the body in a more relaxed state, is very useful information.

因此,當將光感測器與腦電電極結合於同一個耳戴裝置上,以同時取得心率以及腦電訊號時,在生理學上確實具有其意義,尤其可應用於神經生理回饋領域中,透過將此資訊即時地提供給使用者,讓使用者藉由自我意識調控而改變自身的生理狀態,例如,腦部活動,並影響呼吸及心率,或是經由提供正確的呼吸導引讓使用者跟隨,以藉由改變呼吸的方式而影響腦部活動及心率等,皆可達到三者間良好的同步性,以及放鬆的狀態。 Therefore, when the photo sensor and the electroencephalogram electrode are combined on the same ear wearing device to simultaneously acquire the heart rate and the brain electrical signal, it has physiological significance, and is particularly applicable to the field of neurophysiological feedback. By providing this information to the user in real time, the user can change his or her physiological state by self-consciousness regulation, for example, brain activity, affecting breathing and heart rate, or by providing the correct breathing guide to the user. Following, by changing the way the breathing affects brain activity and heart rate, it is possible to achieve good synchronicity and relaxation.

而且,透過僅設置於耳朵上的簡化依附結構,對使用者而言,也更為方便,更適合於日常生活中使用,尤其現代人由於緊湊的生活步調,累積了許多壓力,若能在有空閒時透過簡單將裝置戴於耳朵上的動作,適時地放鬆生理與心理,並即時瞭解身體的放鬆程度,相信可為使用者帶來相當大的益處。 Moreover, through the simplified attachment structure provided only on the ear, it is more convenient for the user, and is more suitable for use in daily life, especially modern people accumulate a lot of pressure due to the compact life pace, if there is In the idle time, by simply putting the device on the ear, relaxing the physiology and psychology in a timely manner, and instantly understanding the degree of relaxation of the body, I believe that it can bring considerable benefits to the user.

所以,本創作的目的在於提供一種耳戴式生理檢測裝置,其實施為設置於單邊的耳朵上,並同時具有光感測器以及腦電電極,以取得兩種生理訊號。 Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an ear-worn physiological detecting device which is implemented on a single-sided ear and has a photo sensor and an electroencephalogram electrode to obtain two kinds of physiological signals.

第1-12圖顯示根據本創作耳戴式生理檢測裝置採用磁性耳戴結構的示範性實施例;以及第13-19圖顯示根據本創作耳戴式生理檢測裝置採用耳夾結構的示範性實施例。 1-12 show an exemplary embodiment in which a magnetic ear-wearing structure is employed according to the present inventive ear-worn physiological detecting device; and FIGS. 13-19 show an exemplary implementation using an ear-clamping structure according to the present inventive ear-mounted physiological detecting device example.

本創作在考慮如何將光感測器以及腦電電極結合設置於耳朵上時,所主要考慮的是,結構簡單、設置容易、並同時兼具美觀等想法,由於主要的目的是希望使用者可以方便地在有需要時就可使用,因此,需要能夠簡單完成設置的結構設計,才能增加使用者的使用意圖,另外,亦需提供良好的固定/依附能力,使用者才無須擔心裝置脫落等問題,再者, 就是要能提供美觀的造形設計,讓使用者不需覺得配戴裝置而有所顧忌。 When the author considers how to combine the light sensor and the brain electric electrode on the ear, the main consideration is that the structure is simple, the setting is easy, and at the same time, the aesthetics are also desirable, since the main purpose is to hope that the user can It can be easily used when needed. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to simply design the structure to increase the user's intention of use. In addition, it is also necessary to provide a good fixing/attaching ability, so that the user does not have to worry about the device falling off. Again, It is to be able to provide an aesthetically pleasing design that allows users to be discouraged without having to feel the device.

因此,基於上述的這些考量,根據本創作第一方面的構想,所採用的是磁力依附的方式。第1圖即顯示根據本創作耳戴式生理檢測裝置所具有一磁性耳戴結構1,其包括一第一部件10以及一第二部件12,且此兩部件可隔著耳廓100而彼此磁性相吸,也就是,該第一部件10以及該第二部件12實施為具有磁性,例如,透過內部具有磁性物質、或本身即為磁性物質的方式,或是實施為由可受磁性吸引的材質所製成、或於內部設置可受磁性吸引的物質,因此,在實際實施時,舉例而言,可以一個部件實施為具有磁力,而另一個部件由可被磁力吸引的物質所製成,或者,也可是二個部件皆實施為具有磁力,沒有限制。 Therefore, based on the above considerations, according to the concept of the first aspect of the present invention, a magnetic attachment method is employed. 1 shows a magnetic ear-wearing structure 1 according to the present invention, comprising a first component 10 and a second component 12, and the two components can be magnetically connected to each other across the auricle 100. The first member 10 and the second member 12 are magnetically exemplified, for example, by having a magnetic substance inside, or being a magnetic substance by itself, or by a material that is magnetically attracted. The material that can be magnetically attracted is formed or disposed inside, and therefore, in actual implementation, for example, one member can be made to have a magnetic force, and the other member can be made of a substance that can be attracted by a magnetic force, or It is also possible that both components are implemented to have a magnetic force without limitation.

在此,需要注意的是,二個部件間所達成的磁吸力,必須達到隔著耳廓的任一部分,例如,沒有軟骨的耳垂部分,或是具有軟骨的部分,皆可互相吸引的強度,如此一來,除了可確保光感測器及電極設置時的穩定度,以提高訊號品質外,還可讓使用者在使用期間無須擔心脫落的問題。 Here, it should be noted that the magnetic attraction between the two components must reach any part of the auricle, for example, the part of the earlobe without cartilage, or the part with cartilage, which can attract each other. In this way, in addition to ensuring the stability of the photo sensor and the electrode setting, in order to improve the signal quality, the user can be free from the problem of falling off during use.

在該磁性耳戴結構中,配置有光感測器,以及至少一腦電電極,其中,該光感測器則包括一光發射元件以及一光接收元件,以經由穿透方式、或反射方式進行測量,至於設置在該磁性耳戴結構中的腦電電極,除了做為參考電極的選擇外,亦可額外增加一電極作為接地電極。 In the magnetic ear-worn structure, a photo sensor and at least one EEG electrode are disposed, wherein the photo sensor includes a light emitting element and a light receiving element to pass through, or reflect The measurement is performed. As for the electroencephalogram electrode disposed in the magnetic ear-wearing structure, in addition to being selected as the reference electrode, an additional electrode may be added as the ground electrode.

再者,於耳戴結構外,還會具有至少一腦電電極,接觸其他部分的皮膚,以與耳戴結構內的電極形成檢測腦電訊號的迴路,例如,可接觸耳廓以外的耳朵其他部分皮膚,例如,耳道內等,或是接觸頭部的皮膚,或是設置於耳廓與頭部的交界處等,沒有一定的限制。 Furthermore, in addition to the ear-wearing structure, there will be at least one EEG electrode that contacts other parts of the skin to form a circuit for detecting brain electrical signals with electrodes in the ear-wearing structure, for example, an ear other than the auricle. Some skins, for example, in the ear canal, or the skin that touches the head, or placed at the junction of the auricle and the head, are not limited.

另外,根據本創作的耳戴式生理檢測裝置亦包括一生理訊號擷取電路,電連接至該光發射元件,該光接收元件,以及該複數個電極,以進行生理訊號的擷取,其中,該光發射元件會發射一光線進入該耳廓的一部分,並在以穿透或反射方式經過該耳廓部分後進入該光接收元件,此時,藉由分析光訊號,即可獲得相關心血管系統(cardiovascular system)的 生理資訊,例如,連續脈搏變化,心率序列、血氧濃度、血壓、自律神經活動等;再者,該複數個電極則會形成一腦電訊號檢測迴路,以取得腦電訊號。在此,該生理訊號擷取電路的設置位置可依實際實施情形而改變,例如,可容置於一殼體中,也可設置於耳戴結構中等,可依實際需求而改變,沒有限制。 In addition, the ear-worn physiological detecting device according to the present invention also includes a physiological signal capturing circuit electrically connected to the light emitting element, the light receiving element, and the plurality of electrodes for performing physiological signal extraction, wherein The light emitting element emits a light into a part of the auricle and enters the light receiving element after passing through the auricle portion in a penetrating or reflecting manner. At this time, by analyzing the optical signal, the relevant cardiovascular can be obtained. Cardiovascular system Physiological information, for example, continuous pulse changes, heart rate sequence, blood oxygen concentration, blood pressure, autonomic nerve activity, etc.; further, the plurality of electrodes form an EEG signal detection circuit to obtain an EEG signal. The position of the physiological signal capture circuit can be changed according to the actual implementation. For example, it can be placed in a housing or in an ear-worn structure, which can be changed according to actual needs without limitation.

在此,需注意地是,光感測器以及複數個腦電電極可實施為同時或分開取得生理訊號,可依實際需求而進行選擇,沒有限制;另外,該光感測器可採用各種波長的光,例如,可利用可見光或不可見光,如紅光以及紅外線(IR)等都是可使用者波長頻段,因此,只需能透過穿透或反射方式而自耳朵取得生理訊號即可,亦無限制。 Here, it should be noted that the photo sensor and the plurality of EEG electrodes can be implemented to obtain physiological signals simultaneously or separately, and can be selected according to actual needs, without limitation; in addition, the photo sensor can adopt various wavelengths. For example, visible light or invisible light, such as red light and infrared light (IR), can be used in the user wavelength band. Therefore, it is only necessary to obtain physiological signals from the ear through penetration or reflection. No limit.

據此,根據本創作的耳戴式生理裝置即是實施為透過該耳戴結構而設置於單邊的耳朵上,且在設置裝置的同時,亦利用該耳戴結構而將光感測器以及至少一腦電電極設置於耳廓上可取得生理訊號的位置,故可在最簡化設置步驟的情形下亦提供良好的感測器/電極設置穩定度,達到最大化使用方便性的效果。 Accordingly, the ear-wearing physiological device according to the present invention is configured to be disposed on one side of the ear through the ear-wearing structure, and the optical sensor and the ear-wearing structure are also used while the device is disposed. At least one EEG electrode is disposed on the auricle to obtain a physiological signal position, so that the sensor/electrode setting stability can be provided in the most simplified setting step to maximize the convenience of use.

第1-4圖顯示了透過穿透方式取得生理訊號之光發射元件以及光接收元件的配置可能實例,在第1圖中,第一部件10上設置有光發射元件112,而光接收元件114則設置於第二部件12上,且兩者位置相對,因而可藉由穿透方式取得連續脈搏變化,再者,一參考電極116設置於第一部件10上,且實施為環繞該光發射元件112的形式,以讓光路徑由其中心可透光(可見光或不可見光)部分通過,另外,該第一部件以及該第二部件分別透過一電連接線14而與該生理訊號擷取電路(未顯示)電連接。 Fig. 1-4 shows an example of the arrangement of the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element which obtain the physiological signal by the penetration method. In Fig. 1, the first component 10 is provided with the light-emitting element 112, and the light-receiving element 114 is provided. Then disposed on the second component 12, and the two positions are opposite, so that a continuous pulse change can be obtained by the penetration mode. Further, a reference electrode 116 is disposed on the first component 10 and is implemented to surround the light emitting component. The form of 112 is such that the light path is partially transparent (visible or invisible) through the center thereof, and the first component and the second component are respectively transmitted through an electrical connection line 14 and the physiological signal extraction circuit ( Not shown) Electrical connection.

第2圖的實施情形與第1圖類似,只是參考電極116設置於該第二部件12上光接收元件114的周圍,並且,該第一部件10與該第二部件12彼此先透過電連接線16電連接後,再由該第二部件12電連接至生理訊號擷取電路。 The implementation of FIG. 2 is similar to that of FIG. 1 except that the reference electrode 116 is disposed around the light receiving element 114 of the second component 12, and the first component 10 and the second component 12 are first passed through the electrical connection line. After the electrical connection is made 16, the second component 12 is electrically connected to the physiological signal acquisition circuit.

第3圖及第4圖則顯示同時具有參考電極116以及接地電極118的情形,第3圖中,電極實施為環繞光元件的形式,而第4圖中則實施 為光元件與電極分開設置的情形。 3 and 4 show the case where the reference electrode 116 and the ground electrode 118 are simultaneously provided. In FIG. 3, the electrode is implemented in the form of a surrounding optical element, and in FIG. A case where the optical element is separately provided from the electrode.

接著,第5-9圖則是顯示透過反射方式取得生理訊號之光發射元件以及光接收元件的配置可能實例。由於是採用反射方式進行測量,因此,光發射元件以及光接收元件設置於同一個部件上,雖然在第5-9圖中皆將光發射元件以及光接收元件設置於第二部件12上,但並不因此而受限,亦可設置於第一部件10上。 Next, Fig. 5-9 shows a possible example of the arrangement of the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element which obtain the physiological signal by the reflection method. Since the measurement is performed by the reflection method, the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element are disposed on the same member, and although the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element are disposed on the second member 12 in FIGS. 5-9, It is not limited thereby, and may be provided on the first component 10.

另外,當採用反射方式取得生理訊號時,由於光發射元件以及光反射元件設置於耳朵之同側,為了防止影響訊號之環境光由耳朵另一側進入,因此,在本創作中,未設置光感測器的第一部件10,即進一步實施為具有遮光的功能,其可透過由不透光的材質製成、或是於表面塗覆上不透光材質等方式而作為遮光之用,如此一來,第一部件10即同時具有提供磁性吸力以及遮光效果兩種功能,而且,第一部件的遮光功能亦進一步讓未被耳朵組織反射之光可經該第一部件反射而再次被反射進入耳朵,增加取得訊號的機會。 In addition, when the physiological signal is obtained by the reflection method, since the light-emitting element and the light-reflecting element are disposed on the same side of the ear, in order to prevent the ambient light that affects the signal from entering from the other side of the ear, in the present creation, no light is set. The first component 10 of the sensor is further configured to have a light-shielding function, which can be used as a light-shielding method by being made of an opaque material or a surface coated with an opaque material. In addition, the first component 10 has both functions of providing magnetic attraction and shading effect, and the light shielding function of the first component further allows light not reflected by the ear tissue to be reflected by the first component to be reflected again. Ears, increase the chances of getting a signal.

再者,亦需注意地是,即使在採用穿透方式進行測量時,較佳地是亦於光元件的周圍進行遮光,如此除了同樣可避免環境光的進入外,還可讓光線更為集中,有利於品質良好訊號的取得。 Furthermore, it should be noted that even when the measurement is performed by the penetration method, it is preferable to shield the light element around the light element, so that in addition to avoiding the entrance of ambient light, the light can be concentrated. It is conducive to the acquisition of good quality signals.

在第5-6圖的實施例中,參考電極116實施為與光發射元件及光接收元件同樣位於該第二部件12上,在第5圖中,該參考電極116實施為環繞該光發射元件以及該光反射元件,而在第6圖中,該參考電極116則實施為分開設置。再者,由於在第一部件10上並未設置感測器或電極,該第一部件10不需要與該生理訊號擷取電路有電性連接,因此,第5圖所顯示的實施例進一步的包括一連接件18,例如,一接線、一橡膠連接物、或其他材質所製成的連接件等,單純將該第一部件10以及第二部件12連接在一起,例如,可防止兩者分開,或者,也可如第6圖所示,兩者間實施為僅透過磁力而相吸,如此則可讓整體裝置的配置更為簡潔,或者,也可將該連接件18實施為可拆的形式,讓使用者自行決定是否需要,因此,沒有限制。 In the embodiment of FIGS. 5-6, the reference electrode 116 is implemented on the second component 12 as well as the light emitting component and the light receiving component. In FIG. 5, the reference electrode 116 is implemented to surround the light emitting component. And the light reflecting element, and in FIG. 6, the reference electrode 116 is implemented to be separately provided. Furthermore, since the sensor or the electrode is not disposed on the first component 10, the first component 10 does not need to be electrically connected to the physiological signal extraction circuit. Therefore, the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is further Including a connecting member 18, for example, a wire, a rubber connector, or a connecting member made of other materials, simply connecting the first member 10 and the second member 12 together, for example, to prevent the two from being separated Or, as shown in FIG. 6, the two can be sucked by only the magnetic force, so that the configuration of the whole device can be made simpler, or the connecting member 18 can be implemented as a detachable one. Form, let the user decide whether it is needed or not, so there is no limit.

第7-8圖顯示了參考電極116與光發射元件112以及光接收元件114設置於不同部件上的實施例,而在此情形下,由於第一部件10以及第二部件20上分別具有電極以及光感測器,皆需要電連接至生理訊號擷取電路,因此,第7圖顯示了第一部件10先透過電連接線16連接至第二部件12,再透過電連接線14連接至生理訊號擷取路的情形,而第8圖則顯示了二個部件分別利用電連接線14連接至生理訊號擷取電路的情形。或者,也可如第9圖所示,同時具有參考電極116以及接地電極118。 7-8 show an embodiment in which the reference electrode 116 and the light-emitting element 112 and the light-receiving element 114 are disposed on different components, and in this case, since the first component 10 and the second component 20 respectively have electrodes and The photo sensor needs to be electrically connected to the physiological signal acquisition circuit. Therefore, FIG. 7 shows that the first component 10 is first connected to the second component 12 through the electrical connection line 16, and then connected to the physiological signal through the electrical connection line 14. The case of the road is taken, and the eighth figure shows the case where the two components are respectively connected to the physiological signal capturing circuit by the electrical connection line 14. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9, the reference electrode 116 and the ground electrode 118 may be provided at the same time.

因此,藉由採用磁性相吸的方式,可以很方便且自然地將電極及光感測器設置於耳朵上,而且,由於採用磁吸的方式,機械結構相當簡單,因此能夠提供美觀的視覺效果,例如,可以實施為如磁吸耳環的形式,對使用者的日常生活完全不會造成影響, Therefore, by using magnetic attraction, the electrodes and the photo sensor can be conveniently and naturally placed on the ear, and the mechanical structure is relatively simple due to the magnetic attraction, thereby providing an aesthetically pleasing visual effect. For example, it can be implemented in the form of a magnetic earring, which does not affect the daily life of the user at all.

而且,使用磁力耳戴結構的一個優勢是,透過改變磁力的大小,就能改變夾設於耳廓上時的鬆緊度,進而適應不同使用者的不同耳朵厚度,或是符合不同使用者對於鬆緊度的不同需求,舉例而言,可藉由提供具有不同磁力強度的部件以供使用者選擇最適合的緊度,或是實施為磁力強度可調的部件,讓使用者自行調整等,是相當方便的選擇。 Moreover, one advantage of using a magnetic ear-worn structure is that by changing the magnitude of the magnetic force, the tightness when clamped on the auricle can be changed, thereby adapting to different ear thicknesses of different users, or conforming to different users for tightness. Different requirements of the degree, for example, can be provided by providing the components with different magnetic strengths for the user to select the most suitable tightness, or by implementing the components with adjustable magnetic strength, allowing the user to adjust themselves, etc. Convenient choice.

再者,除了同時在磁性耳戴結構中設置腦電電極以及光感測器外,如第10-12圖所示,亦可實施為僅設置腦電電極,在第10圖中,參考電極116設置於該第二部件12上,在第11圖中,該第一部件10與該第二部件12間透過一連接件18而彼此相連,以避免發生該第一部件遺失的情形,第12圖則顯示接地電極118設置於該第一部件10上,以及參考電極116設置於該第二部件12上,且二部件間透過電連接線16而彼此電連接。 Furthermore, in addition to the provision of the electroencephalogram electrode and the photosensor in the magnetic ear-wearing structure, as shown in FIGS. 10-12, it is also possible to implement only the electroencephalogram electrode. In FIG. 10, the reference electrode 116 Provided on the second component 12, in the eleventh figure, the first component 10 and the second component 12 are connected to each other through a connecting member 18 to avoid the occurrence of the first component being lost, Fig. 12 The ground electrode 118 is disposed on the first component 10, and the reference electrode 116 is disposed on the second component 12, and the two components are electrically connected to each other through the electrical connection line 16.

因此,透過磁吸的方式,電極與耳朵皮膚間就可獲得穩定的接觸,有助於取得品質良好的訊號,另外,由於僅設置電極時不需如具有光感測器時需要提供遮光的效果,因此,在造型設計上就可有更多的發揮空間,例如,體積可以縮小,材質選擇可更為多元,形狀限制更小等,相當具有優勢。 Therefore, through the magnetic attraction, stable contact can be obtained between the electrode and the skin of the ear, which is helpful for obtaining a good quality signal. In addition, since only the electrode is provided, it is not necessary to provide a light-shielding effect when the photo sensor is provided. Therefore, there is more room for designing, for example, the volume can be reduced, the material selection can be more diverse, and the shape limit is smaller, which is quite advantageous.

接下來,根據本創作第二方面的構想,所採用的則是機械夾附的方式。由於無論身材高矮胖瘦,耳朵厚度及/或大小的變化皆不大,因此,當利用機械力進行依附時,容易達成適合大多數使用者的設計,例如,鬆緊度,接觸的面積大小等,所以,夾設方式亦是良好的選擇之一。 Next, according to the concept of the second aspect of the present creation, the mechanical clamping method is adopted. Since the thickness and/or the size of the ear are not changed greatly regardless of the height and thickness of the ear, when the mechanical force is used for attachment, it is easy to achieve a design suitable for most users, for example, the tightness, the size of the contact area, and the like. Therefore, the way of clamping is also a good choice.

第13-18圖即顯示根據本創作耳戴式生理檢測裝置所具有一耳夾結構2的情形。該耳夾結構2包括一第一夾件20以及一第二夾件22,透過結構上的設計,該第一夾件以及該第二夾件間實施為具有一機械力,以使兩者彼此接近,舉例而言,可如圖所示地利用一彈簧24,或者,也可利用具有恢復力的材質形成夾件,例如,彈性鋼,或者,也可透過鎖閂結構而調整兩個夾件間的距離等,可以有各種選擇,沒有限制。 Figs. 13-18 show the case where the ear-worn physiological detecting device according to the present invention has an ear clip structure 2. The ear clip structure 2 includes a first clip member 20 and a second clip member 22. The structural member is configured to have a mechanical force between the first clip member and the second clip member to make the two Proximity, for example, a spring 24 can be utilized as shown, or a clip with a restoring force can be formed, for example, elastic steel, or two clips can be adjusted through the latch structure. There are various options for the distance between the two, and there is no limit.

當實施為耳夾結構時,同樣根據光感測器是採用穿透方式或反射方式取得訊號而有設置的不同,第13-15圖顯示光感測器採用穿透方式取得生理訊號的可能實施例,其中,第13圖中,光發射元件212以及光接收元件214分別設置於該第一夾件20以及該第二夾件22之上,以藉光線穿透耳廓100之一部分的方式而取得連續脈搏變化,另外,參考電極214則實施為位在該第二夾件22之上,並為環繞光接收元件214的形式,或者,該參考電極214亦可設於該第一夾件21上,沒有限制,至於電連接線26,則是用來電連接至生理訊號擷取電路,在此,該參考電極216,該光發射元件212,以及該光接收元件214與進入該電連接線的電連接被隱藏於夾件的內部。 When implemented as an ear clip structure, the light sensor is also configured to use a penetrating mode or a reflective mode to obtain a signal, and the 13th-15th figure shows a possible implementation of the photosensor to obtain a physiological signal by using a penetrating method. For example, in FIG. 13, the light emitting element 212 and the light receiving element 214 are respectively disposed on the first clip 20 and the second clip 22 to penetrate a part of the auricle 100 by light. A continuous pulse change is obtained. In addition, the reference electrode 214 is disposed on the second clip 22 and is in the form of a surrounding light receiving component 214. Alternatively, the reference electrode 214 may be disposed on the first clip 21 . There is no limitation. As for the electrical connection line 26, it is used for electrically connecting to the physiological signal extraction circuit. Here, the reference electrode 216, the light emitting element 212, and the light receiving element 214 enter the electrical connection line. The electrical connection is hidden inside the clip.

第14-15圖則顯示同時具有參考電極216及接地電極218的實施例,在第14圖中,電極實施為環繞光元件,而在第15圖中則實施為電極與光元件分開設置,兩種皆為可行的方式。 Figures 14-15 show an embodiment having both a reference electrode 216 and a ground electrode 218. In Fig. 14, the electrode is implemented as a surrounding optical element, and in Fig. 15, the electrode is disposed separately from the optical element, All are feasible ways.

第16-19圖顯示光感測器採用反射方式取得生理訊號的可能實施例,光發射元件以及光接收元件212及214皆位在同一個部件上,如圖所示,第二部件22上,此時,為了能夠讓光線進行反射,另一個部件必須提供遮光的效果,例如,由不透光材質製成,或是塗覆不透光物質等,不受限制。 16-19 show a possible embodiment in which the photo sensor obtains a physiological signal by reflection. The light emitting element and the light receiving elements 212 and 214 are all located on the same component, as shown in the figure, on the second component 22, At this time, in order to allow the light to be reflected, the other member must provide a light-shielding effect, for example, made of an opaque material or coated with an opaque substance, and the like.

第16-17圖顯示參考電極216與光發射元件212以及光接收元件214一起位在該第二部件22上的情形,其中,第16圖顯示參考電極216環繞光元件的實施方式,以及第17圖顯示參考電極216與光元件分開設置的實施可能;或者,如第18圖所示,參考電極216也可位在第一部件20上;或是如第19圖所示,在耳夾結構中同時設置參考電極216以及接地電極218,在此,需注意地是,雖然圖中所示為參考電極位於第二部件22上以及接地電極位於第一部件20上,但並不受限,也可實施為相反的情形。 16-17 show a case where the reference electrode 216 is positioned on the second member 22 together with the light emitting element 212 and the light receiving element 214, wherein FIG. 16 shows an embodiment in which the reference electrode 216 surrounds the light element, and a 17th The figure shows the possibility that the reference electrode 216 is disposed separately from the optical element; or, as shown in FIG. 18, the reference electrode 216 can also be located on the first component 20; or as shown in Fig. 19, in the ear clip structure At the same time, the reference electrode 216 and the ground electrode 218 are disposed. Here, it should be noted that although the reference electrode is located on the second component 22 and the ground electrode is located on the first component 20, it is not limited. Implemented as the opposite case.

因此,透過夾設的方式,光感測器以及腦電電極同樣可以在耳朵上獲得良好的固定效果,進而達到同時取得腦電訊號以及相關血管系統的資訊。 Therefore, by means of the clamping, the light sensor and the electroencephalogram electrode can also obtain a good fixation effect on the ear, thereby achieving information on the simultaneous acquisition of the EEG signal and the related vascular system.

此外,還可於裝置內,例如,耳戴結構上,增設動作感測元件,例如,加速度器,以得知使用者於測量期間的移動情形,例如,耳朵、頭部、及/或整個身體的移動情形,藉此,就可對所測得的生理訊號進行校正,例如,將加速度器所取得的訊號做為參考訊號而移除因移動所產生的雜訊,例如,可在行走或跑步時,取得正確的心率或腦電訊號。 In addition, a motion sensing component, such as an accelerometer, may be added to the device, for example, the earwear structure, to know the movement of the user during the measurement, for example, the ear, the head, and/or the entire body. The movement situation, whereby the measured physiological signal can be corrected, for example, the signal obtained by the accelerometer is used as a reference signal to remove the noise generated by the movement, for example, walking or running Get the correct heart rate or brain signal.

而透過耳戴的形式,再結合腦電電極以及光感測器,本創作的生理檢測裝置將適合應用於各種領域。 Through the form of earwear, combined with EEG electrodes and light sensors, the physiological detection device of the present invention will be suitable for use in various fields.

舉例而言,只需增設通訊模組,並配合上一具顯示及/或發聲功能的裝置,根據本創作的耳戴式生理檢測裝置就可進行神經生理回饋(neurofeedback),例如,可利用無線方式與一手機進行通訊,以將所取得的生理資訊即時傳送至手機,例如,腦電訊號,心率,呼吸行為(可得自腦電訊號或心率序列),以及腦電訊號、心率、呼吸行為三者的同步性分析結果等,並透過手機以視覺及/或聽覺可感知訊號的方式將資訊即時提供予使用者,以讓使用者據以進行自我意識調控,即可達成神經生理回饋迴路,如此一來,使用者很方便地就可透過穿戴於耳朵上的裝置以及隨身攜帶的手機而進行神經生理回饋,並達到,例如,放鬆身心,的效果,相當適合於日常生活的空閒時間使用。 For example, by simply adding a communication module and using a device for displaying and/or sounding functions, a neurofeedback can be performed according to the ear-mounted physiological detecting device of the present invention, for example, wireless can be utilized. Ways to communicate with a mobile phone to instantly transmit the acquired physiological information to the mobile phone, for example, EEG, heart rate, respiratory behavior (available from EEG signals or heart rate sequences), and EEG signals, heart rate, respiratory behavior The results of the synchronic analysis of the three, etc., and the information is provided to the user in a visual and/or auditory senseable manner through the mobile phone, so that the user can perform self-consciousness regulation to achieve the neurophysiological feedback loop. In this way, the user can conveniently perform neurophysiological feedback through the device worn on the ear and the mobile phone carried by the user, and achieve, for example, the effect of relaxing, which is quite suitable for the free time of daily life.

另外,還可實施為手機本身亦提供一呼吸導引訊號,例如, 具有預設為固定、或隨時間變化的呼吸變化模式,以在神經生理回饋的過程中,透過呼吸導引的方式,一方面讓使用者因專注於呼吸而集中精神,另一方面也透過呼吸調整而影響自律神經、心率、腦電訊號等,進而讓神經生理回饋的效果更為顯著;且更進一步,生理檢測裝置所取得的即時生理資訊還可用來作為調整呼吸導引訊號的基礎,例如,可在得知使用者的呼吸速率已能符合呼吸導引訊號時,適時地降低導引訊號的速率,讓使用者可跟隨而進一步降低呼吸速率,將有利於進一步提升副交感神經活性,讓放鬆的目的更容易達成,因此,透過這樣的方式,可讓呼吸導引訊號更貼近使用者的實際生理狀態,也讓所能達成的效果更上層樓。 In addition, it can also be implemented to provide a breathing guide signal for the mobile phone itself, for example, A breathing change mode that is preset to be fixed or changed with time, in the process of neurophysiological feedback, through the way of breathing guidance, on the one hand, the user concentrates on focusing on breathing, and on the other hand, through breathing Adjustment affects autonomic nerves, heart rate, EEG signals, etc., and the effect of neurophysiological feedback is more significant; and further, the instantaneous physiological information obtained by the physiological detection device can also be used as a basis for adjusting the respiratory guidance signal, for example, for example When the user's breathing rate can be met to meet the respiratory guidance signal, the rate of the pilot signal can be reduced in time, so that the user can follow and further reduce the breathing rate, which will further enhance the parasympathetic activity and relax. The purpose is easier to achieve, so in this way, the breathing guide signal can be closer to the user's actual physiological state, and the effect can be achieved.

而除了利用手機外,只要是具有顯示、及/或發聲功能的裝置皆可與本創作的耳戴式裝置配合使用,舉例而言,可特殊地實施為一獨立的發光體,例如,一球體,或一任何形狀的物體;或實施為具有顯示及/或發聲功能的裝置,例如,手機,手錶,平板電腦,以及個人電腦等,沒有限制。另外,亦可實施為與該耳戴式生理檢測裝置結合在一起的顯示單元及/或發聲模組等,舉例而言,可實施為延伸自該耳戴結構的一顯示元件、一發光源、及/或一耳機等,例如,可實施為一耳機,在承載腦電電極及心率感測單元的同時,亦透過聲音、或語音提供資訊,及/或再延伸出一顯示元件或發光源至眼前,以提供視覺感知訊號等,亦沒有限制。 In addition to using a mobile phone, any device having a display and/or sounding function can be used with the ear-worn device of the present invention. For example, it can be specially implemented as a separate illuminator, for example, a sphere. , or an object of any shape; or implemented as a device having display and/or audible functions, such as a cell phone, a watch, a tablet, and a personal computer, without limitation. In addition, it can also be implemented as a display unit and/or a sounding module combined with the ear-worn physiological detecting device. For example, it can be implemented as a display element extending from the ear-wearing structure, a light source, And/or a headphone, etc., for example, can be implemented as an earphone, while carrying the EEG electrode and the heart rate sensing unit, also providing information through sound, or voice, and/or extending a display element or a light source to There is no limit to the provision of visual perception signals.

再者,根據本創作裝置所進行的神經生理回饋亦適合融入遊戲中,所以,在執行時,除了視覺/聽覺效果的變化,例如,隨著生理狀態而改變的顏色、物體型態、人物、聲音等,透過遊戲的方式,將可提供更多互動的內容,例如,可透過在手機及/或電腦上執行的一遊戲軟體,增加與使用者間互動的趣味性,進而提升使用意願。舉例而言,首先,可採用分數制度,例如,若神經生理回饋的目標是放鬆身心,則分數就可用來表現在一個區段中,放鬆的增加程度,如腦波中α波增加的比例,再者,由於生理回饋具有累積效應,因此,不同時間、不同區段所獲得分數就可累積計算,如此一來,使用者將可很方便地透過分數而得知自身努力的成果,有助於培養成就感,而在此情形下,還可進一步設定可達成的不同分數門 檻,增加使用者的挑戰慾望,並且,可配合關卡的概念,當達到一個門檻後,即可到達下一個關卡,並打開不同的功能等,增加使用趣味性,亦提升使用意願。 Furthermore, the neurophysiological feedback according to the present authoring device is also suitable for integration into the game, and therefore, in addition to changes in visual/auditory effects, for example, colors, object types, people, which change with physiological state, Sounds, etc., will provide more interactive content through the game. For example, a game software executed on a mobile phone and/or a computer can increase the fun of interaction with the user, thereby increasing the willingness to use. For example, first, a score system can be used. For example, if the goal of neurophysiological feedback is to relax the body and mind, the score can be used to express the degree of relaxation in a segment, such as the proportion of alpha waves in the brain wave. Furthermore, since the physiological feedback has a cumulative effect, the scores obtained at different times and in different sections can be cumulatively calculated, so that the user can easily know the results of his efforts through the scores, which is helpful. Develop a sense of accomplishment, and in this case, you can further set different scores that can be achieved. 槛, increase the user's desire for challenge, and, in conjunction with the concept of the level, when a threshold is reached, the next level can be reached, and different functions can be opened to increase the use of fun and increase the willingness to use.

另外,除了關卡的概念外,也可採用提供獎勵的方式,舉例而言,當分數累積達一定門檻後,可增加更多可選擇的人物造型,例如,更多可更換的衣服種類,出現光環等,或是可贈與配件、寶物等,或是可提升遊戲者的等級而賦予更高的遊戲能力等,各種線上遊戲常見的方式皆適合用於本創作。 In addition, in addition to the concept of the level, rewards can also be used. For example, when the scores accumulate to a certain threshold, more optional characters can be added. For example, more types of clothes can be replaced, and a halo appears. Etc., or you can give accessories, treasures, etc., or to enhance the level of the player to give higher game skills, etc., the common methods of online games are suitable for this creation.

再者,由於與一般的遊戲性質不同,生理回饋的累積性主要建構在連續使用的前提下,亦即,當所執行之生理回饋程序的間隔時間過長時,即失去累積的效果,據此,舉例而言,分數的計算原則就可設計為,例如,累積的分數會隨著時間間隔的逐漸變長而減少,若隔太長的時間未進行遊戲,則分數將歸零,使用者必須重頭開始,例如,當使用者相隔2天未進行生理回饋程序時,累積分數即減少至75%,相隔3天未使用,分數減至50%,以此類推,最後當相隔5天未使用時,先前的累積分數即被歸零,以藉此激勵使用者持續的使用。 Furthermore, due to the nature of the game, the accumulation of physiological feedback is mainly constructed on the premise of continuous use, that is, when the interval of the physiological feedback program executed is too long, the cumulative effect is lost. For example, the calculation principle of the score can be designed as, for example, the accumulated score will decrease as the time interval becomes longer. If the game is not played for too long, the score will be zero, and the user must Start over, for example, when the user does not perform a physiological feedback program for 2 days, the cumulative score is reduced to 75%, not used 3 days apart, the score is reduced to 50%, and so on, and finally when not used 5 days apart The previous cumulative score is zeroed to thereby motivate the user to continue using.

因此,透過遊戲的方式,除了讓生理回饋程序變的更有趣外,也可讓使用者即時地感覺到生理回饋所造成的生理狀態改變,進而讓使用者覺得有目標,增加使用的動力。 Therefore, through the game, in addition to making the physiological feedback program more interesting, the user can immediately feel the physiological state change caused by the physiological feedback, so that the user feels that there is a goal and increases the power of use.

此外,本創作的耳戴形式亦適合使用作為腦機介面。在所檢測的生理訊號主要包括腦電訊號以及心率序列的情形下,可用於產生指令的方式有下列幾種可能方式,舉例而言,但不限制,由於腦波中α波所佔的比例,隨著閉眼及睜眼的動作有很大的變化,一般而言,當閉眼時,α波的比例會大幅提昇,因此,就可以此作為產生指令的依據,另外,當腦電電極的設置位置落在眼睛附近時,也同樣可偵測到眼部的動作,取得眼動訊號(EOG),因此,就可藉由,例如,眨眼、轉眼球等動作而下達指令;再者,由於呼吸亦是人體可以控制的一項生理活動,且如前所述地,呼吸不但會對心率產生影響(亦即,所謂的RSA),亦會造成腦波於低頻區段的 波動,因此,在本創作的架構下,無論是偵測腦波訊號或是偵測心率序列,皆可藉此而得知使用者呼吸行為模式改變,因而作為產生指令的依據,例如,使用者可透過特意拉長吸氣的期間而下達指令等,或者,也可透過加深呼吸而增加心跳變異率,進而達到增大RSA震幅的效果,以作為下達指令的依據,因此,沒有限制。 In addition, the ear-wearing form of this creation is also suitable for use as a brain-computer interface. In the case where the detected physiological signals mainly include brain signals and heart rate sequences, there are several possible ways in which instructions can be generated, for example, but not limited to, due to the proportion of alpha waves in brain waves, As the movements of the closed eyes and the blinks change greatly, in general, when the eyes are closed, the proportion of the alpha waves is greatly increased, so that it can be used as a basis for generating instructions, and in addition, when the position of the electroencephalogram electrodes is set. When you are near the eyes, you can also detect the movement of the eye and obtain the eye movement signal (EOG). Therefore, you can give instructions by, for example, blinking, eyeball, etc. It is a physiological activity that the human body can control. As mentioned above, breathing not only affects the heart rate (that is, the so-called RSA), but also causes the brain waves to be in the low frequency section. Fluctuation, therefore, under the framework of this creation, whether it is detecting brain wave signals or detecting heart rate sequences, it is possible to know the change in the breathing behavior pattern of the user, and thus as a basis for generating instructions, for example, the user The command can be issued by deliberately inhaling the inhalation period, or the heartbeat variability can be increased by deepening the breathing, thereby increasing the effect of the RSA amplitude, as a basis for issuing instructions, and therefore, there is no limitation.

此外,進一步地,當配合上動作感測元件時,例如,加速度器,還可有更多的下達指令方式,例如,當上述的各種生理現象可再配合上下點頭、左右轉動頭部等動作,就可組合出更多種類的指令,讓應用範圍更廣。 In addition, when the motion sensing element is matched, for example, the accelerometer, there may be more command modes, for example, when the various physiological phenomena described above can be combined with the up and down nodding, the left and right rotation of the head, and the like, More types of instructions can be combined to make the application wider.

綜上所述,根據本創作的耳戴式生理檢測裝置,在選擇耳朵作為設置位置的前提下,透過精心的結構設計,創新地讓取得相關血管系統的資訊以及腦電訊號所需要的光感測器以及腦電電極可整合於同一個耳戴結構上,進而使得耳戴裝置可有更多方面的應用,並且,無論採用磁性耳戴結構或耳夾結構,都同時兼顧了結構簡單、設置容易、且美觀的目的,非常有利於日常生活中使用,也增加使用者的使用意願。 In summary, according to the ear-type physiological detecting device of the present invention, under the premise that the ear is selected as the setting position, the information of the relevant vascular system and the light sensation required for the EEG signal are innovatively obtained through careful structural design. The detector and the brain electrical electrode can be integrated on the same ear-wearing structure, so that the ear-wearing device can be applied in more aspects, and the magnetic ear-wearing structure or the ear clip structure can simultaneously take into consideration the simple structure and the setting. The purpose of easy and beautiful appearance is very beneficial to the use in daily life and also increases the user's willingness to use.
