Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a wearable device that operates in a self-charging manner, and a method of recognizing and managing stress based on the wearable device.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for managing stress of a user, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for recognizing and managing stress based on a wearable device.

In general, stress is defined as the physiological response to external conditions. Stress is a pathological phenomenon that includes an unfavorable psychological, behavioral, and abnormal response of an individual to an adaptation process.

When defining the cognitive overload state generated by human adaptation process as stress, stimulation or reaction can be explained only in the cognitive process of the individual. Therefore, stress can be accepted differently depending on the person. For example, the physiological and psychological reaction that occurs when recognizing an imbalance between the level of demand imposed on a person and his or her ability to respond to this demand is stress.

Stress perception can vary depending on the degree of individual acceptance of stress. The stress of a particular event on an individual basis can be determined by how an individual assesses the event and uses any psychological mechanisms. In this sense, it is not the event that causes stress but the individual's perception of the event, so the degree of stress may vary among individuals. Recognizing stress and managing stress can be a challenge for all who live in modern society.

In the drawings, like reference numerals refer to the same or similar functions throughout the several views.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a stress management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the stress management system includes a wearable device 100 and a user device 120, and may further include a stress management service server 140 interlocked with the user device 120.

The wearable device 100 may be a device of a type that can be worn by a user. For example, the wearable device 100 may be a wearable band worn on a part of the body such as the wrist. The wearable device 100 may be provided with a stress-aware portion to receive information on the user's stress. The wearable device 100 receives information on the stress of the user and transmits the stress information to the user device 120 through the communication unit. The communication unit can be transmitted through various wired / wireless communication (for example, Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), cellular communication, wireless LAN communication, etc.).

For example, when the wearable device 100 is embodied with a stress-aware button and a user who recognizes the stress presses the button for stress, stress information is generated, and the stress information is transmitted to the user device 120 . In another embodiment, a sensor is implemented in the wearable device 100, and the sensor may measure the user's body reaction (e.g., heart rate, breathing state, body temperature, etc.) to generate the user's stress information.

The wearable apparatus 100 can be used not only in the stress recognition procedure of the user but also in the stress release procedure of the user. The user device 120 may receive the stress perception information and provide the user with content or activity for the stress relief procedure. A sensor capable of sensing a movement of a user can be implemented in the wearable device 100. A sensor of the wearable device 100 measures a user's activity on a stress-free procedure and transmits the measurement result to the user device 120 It can be judged whether the user's activity for the stress-relieving procedure has been performed properly.

Further, in the wearable device 100, the piezoelectric element and the thermoelectric element are implemented, so that the user's activity is converted into thermal energy, and the body temperature of the user can be converted into thermal energy. Specifically, when the user's activity occurs due to the stress-free contents, or when the wearer wears the wearer's wearer's wearer's normal movement (e.g., waving his / her arm while walking) A piezoelectric element, and a thermoelectric element, and the electric energy can be used to charge the battery of the wearable device.

User device 120 may be a device such as a smart phone, tablet, and the like. Hereinafter, the operation of the user apparatus 120 to be started may be performed based on a stress management application installed in the user apparatus 120. [ The user device 120 may download the stress management application from the stress management service server 140 and install it on the user device 120. [

The user device 120 receives the stress information and can store and manage the user's stress data based on the stress information. For example, the user device 120 may output the number of stresses, the occurrence time of the stress, or the device based on a certain format (e.g., graph) of the user's stress characteristic information. According to an embodiment of the present invention, storing and managing of direct stress data is not performed by the user device 120, and the user's perception information is transmitted to the stress management service server 140, Stress data can be stored and managed. In some cases, the user device 120 transmits a notification message to a mobile device of a user device of another registered user, for example, a guardian when the received number of received stress information is greater than or equal to a predetermined number of times within a predetermined unit time .

The user device 120 can provide contents for relieving stress to the user based on the user's stress data. The procedure of providing the contents for relieving the stress to such a user may be expressed by the term stress relief procedure. This stress relief procedure may mean a procedure to eliminate stress.

In the stress elimination procedure, the user can provide stress-free contents for relieving the stress based on the analysis of the stress data. For example, the stress-free contents for relieving user's stress may be contents (e.g., walking, running, jump rope, yoga, etc.) for the user's body activity. The stress management application installed in the user device 120 may play an auxiliary role in assisting the user's body activity for the stress relief procedure. For example, the amount of activity of a user can be measured through a sensor implemented in the user device 120, and it can be determined whether the target activity value of the user is satisfied. Or as described above, the wearable device 100 may play an auxiliary role in assisting the activity of the user's body for the stress-relieving procedure.

The user device 120 or the stress management service server 140 may analyze the user's stress data to determine the stress-free content to provide for the stress-free procedure.

The user device 120 that has completed the stress release procedure can manage the user's psychological state through the filling procedure. In the filling procedure, the user device 120 may provide the filled contents for guiding the user to a psychological state necessary for the user based on the analysis result of the user's intention or the user's stress data. For example, the psychological state required for a user may be stability, enthusiasm, courage, and the like. The filled-in content may be content for stability, passion, courage, etc., which is a psychological state required for the user. The filled-in content may be content that the user has previously stored or collected through the user device 120. To this end, the service providing app driven by the user device 120 may provide a function of storing or bookmarking contents of various sources (for example, YouTube, etc.) on-line.

Basically, the filling procedure can be provided to the user through interlocking between the wearable device 100 and the user device 120. In addition, according to another embodiment, the stress management service may be configured to be provided in cooperation with the stress management service server 140 in addition to the wearable device 100 and the user device 120. The stress management service server 140 may store filled contents matched with the psychological state required by the user in the database in order to provide the filled contents for guiding the user to a psychological state required. For example, the filling content matched to the psychological state required for the user stored in the database may be a music, a text, a photograph, a moving picture for moving a specific psychological state, a moving picture or a moving picture for meditating by controlling a breathing pattern .

2 is a flowchart illustrating a stress management procedure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, a stress management method for a user is composed of three stages of a stress cognitive process, a stress-free process, and a filling process.

First, a stress recognition procedure is performed for stress management (step S200).

The stress recognition procedure may be a procedure in which a user recognizes his or her stress and stress information is input through the wearable device. The user can input the stress information through the stress perception implemented in the wearable device. The wearable device may transmit the generated stress identification information to the user device based on the stress information inputted by the user.

Second, a stress-free procedure for relieving stress is performed (step S210).

The user apparatus receives stress information and analyzes stress information to provide stress-free contents for relieving stress to the user. In the stress elimination procedure, the stress-free contents can be provided to relieve the psychological pressure due to the stress felt by the user. The stress-free content can be generated by the stress management server and transmitted to the user device.

As described above, the stress-free contents may be content (for example, hitting, walking, running, jumping rope, yoga, etc.) for the user's body activity, hearing such as audiovisual data acceptable to the user's sensory organs Content.

Next, a filling procedure is performed (step S220).

When the stress-relieving procedure is completed, the filling procedure may generate a psychological state necessary for the user. The psychological state directly selected by the user, and the filling contents for generating the psychological state determined by the stress management server may be provided to the user through the user device.

3 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an operation of a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In Fig. 3, a wearable band is exemplarily disclosed as a wearable device for receiving user's stress information.

Referring to FIG. 3, the wearable band may include a stress sensing unit 300 capable of recognizing a user's touch. Whenever the user recognizes that the user is under stress, the user can input whether or not the user is stressed through the stress recognition unit 300. The stress perception unit 300 may be implemented with various modules / sensors to receive stress information input by a user. For example, the user can input the stress information by pressing the stress recognition unit 300 of the wearable band by changing the intensity according to the degree of the stress felt by the user. If the user feels a relatively strong stress, the stress perception unit 300 may be relatively strongly depressed. If the user feels relatively weak stress, the user may depress the stress perception unit 300 relatively weakly. Alternatively, the user can input stress information by varying the number of times the wearer's band 300 is depressed according to the degree of the stress felt by the wearer. When the user feels relatively strong stress, the stress perception unit 300 is pressed relatively more times, and when the user feels relatively weak stress, the stress perception unit 300 can be pressed relatively few times.

In some cases, the stress perception unit 300 may require the user to input a change in the stress state of the user at regular intervals to record the stress of the user according to the change of time. For example, after the user first inputs the stress information as a wearable band, the wearable band may request to input the stress information back to the user device based on a predetermined period (for example, 10 minutes). The wearable band may request re-entry of stress information using vibration or lamp signals.

The user can request re-input of the stress information from the wearable band and re-input the stress information. The user can input the stress information through the wear awareness part 300 of the wearable band considering the changed stress level. If the user desires to stop the input of the stress information, it is possible to input a specific input pattern for stopping the input of the stress information to the stress sensing unit 300 of the wearable band, or to ignore the request for re- have.

The wearable band may repeatedly receive the user's stress information and transmit the stress information to the user device.

4 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a power management operation of a wearable device and a communication procedure with a user device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In Fig. 4, the power management operation of the wearable device and the communication between the wearable device and the user device are started.

Referring to FIG. 4, the wearable device may be operated by a sustainable energy source such as solar heat, but may also be powered by an unsustainable energy source such as a battery. Accordingly, the wearable device can maintain the on state only when the stress information is received from the user and the stress information is transmitted without needing to maintain the on state unnecessarily.

In the wearable device, in a normal state, only the stress perception part for recognizing the touch by the user can be maintained in the ON state and the communication part can be maintained in the OFF state. Thereafter, when the user inputs the stress information, the communication unit can be turned on, and the stress information can be transmitted to the user apparatus. The operation mode of the wearable device as described above may be expressed by the term power save mode 400. [

When a touch is input by the user, the wearable device can switch the communication unit to the on state and perform the connection procedure with the user device. The operation mode of the above wearable device can be expressed by the term active mode 420. [ The wearable device may have an identification number and the identification number of the wearable device may be registered with the user device via the stress management application installed in the user device after the initial purchase.

For the coupling procedure with the user device, the wearable device can be transmitted to the user device with a coupling request message containing the identification information. The user equipment receives the association request message, and based on the identification information included in the association request message, determines whether the identification information is registered in the user equipment and determines whether to associate with the wearable device. If the identification information is the identification information registered in the user device, the user device can transmit the connection completion message to the wearable device.

The wearable device may receive a join complete message and transmit the stress awareness information to the user device. The binding completion message may further include information on the stress information transmission period, and the wearable device may request the user to re-input the stress information in consideration of the retransmission period of the stress information set in the binding completion message.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for analyzing stress information of a user equipment.

5 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method for analyzing stress information of a user equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 5, a case where the stress state is analyzed based on the stress information by the user apparatus is exemplarily disclosed. The stress state may be analyzed by the stress management service server based on the stress information, and then transmitted to the user apparatus.

Referring to FIG. 5, the user device 120 receives stress information from the wearable device 100 and analyzes the stress state of the user.

The user device 120 may analyze the stress pattern of the user based on the stress information. Depending on the person, the rate of emptying of stress can vary. For example, user A may be less sensitive to stress, less able to feel stress, less likely to be stressed, and less able to quickly relieve stress. On the other hand, the user B is highly sensitive to stress, so he may feel stress, be highly stressed, and have a long maintenance time. In addition, the user C is highly sensitive to stress, so he or she feels stress and receives a high degree of stress, but the maintenance time of the stress may be short.

The user device 120 can manage various user-related characteristics related to stress by the user's stress sensitivity, user's stress intensity, user's stress maintenance time, and the like. The user device 120 may transmit the user's stress characteristics information 500 (e.g., information about the user's stress sensitivity, the user's stress intensity, and the user's stress maintenance time) to the stress management service server 140 . The stress management service server 140 may determine the stress-free content to be provided to the user based on the stress characteristic information 500 of the user. The stress management service server 140 may transmit the stress-free content determined based on the user's stress characteristic information 500 to the user device. The database of the stress management service server 140 may store the stored stress-free contents by categorizing them based on the stress characteristics of the user. That is, the user can be provided with stress-free contents tailored to the stress characteristics of the user.

In some cases, the user may select and use stress-free content through the user device 120 in advance.

In addition to this, the filled contents may also be provided in consideration of the stress characteristics of the user. For example, as the stress sensitivity is relatively higher, the user's stress intensity is relatively higher, and the user's stress keeping time is relatively longer, the content composition ratio for stability is larger than the content composition ratio for the container The content to be filled can be determined to be relatively high. On the other hand, as the stress sensitivity is relatively lower, the user's stress intensity is relatively lower, the user's stress keeping time is relatively shorter, and the composition ratio of the content for the container is relatively more Can be determined to be high. In some cases, it may be configured to select among various types of contents in which the user has previously registered the filled contents provided to the user.

6 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a determination operation of stress-free contents in a stress management service server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In Fig. 6, respiration management contents provided as stress-free contents are disclosed. Here, respiration management means inducing the user's physical action to relieve stress.

6, the respiration management contents 650 provided as the stress-free contents in consideration of the user's stress sensitivity, the user's stress intensity, and the user's stress holding time included in the user's characteristic information 600, The number of breathing, the amount of respiration, etc. can be determined. For example, as the stress sensitivity is relatively higher, the user's stress intensity is relatively higher, and the user's stress maintenance time is relatively longer, the respiratory management contents 650 may have a relatively smaller number of breaths per minute And the breath volume can be set to a larger value. In contrast, the lower the stress sensitivity, the lower the user's stress intensity, the shorter the user's stress maintenance time, the greater the number of respiratory breaths per minute in respiratory management content, the smaller the respiratory volume Can be set.

In another embodiment, the amount of activity of the user activity contents provided as the stress-free contents may be adjusted in consideration of the user's stress sensitivity, the user's stress intensity, and the user's stress holding time included in the user characteristic information 600 . For example, as the stress sensitivity is relatively higher, the user's stress intensity is relatively higher, the user's stress keeping time is relatively longer, and the user activity amount of the user activity content is set to be relatively higher . On the contrary, the relatively low stress sensitivity, the relatively low stress intensity of the user, and the relatively short stress keeping time of the user can be set so that the user activity amount of the user activity content is relatively small.

7 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the operation of the wearable device in the stress-free procedure according to the embodiment of the present invention.

7, the wearable device may convert the user's kinetic energy 720, which is performed on a stress-free procedure, to electrical energy 740, and the converted electrical energy 740 may be used to charge the battery for operation of the wearable device Can be used.

As described above, the stress-free contents 700 may be contents (e.g., hitting, walking, running, jumping rope, yoga, etc.) for the user's body activities.

The stress relief contents 700 may be active content, and the wearer wears a wearable device, and may perform the stressful process of the active content. For example, when a user's movement occurs due to a stress-free procedure of active content, the kinetic energy 720 can be converted to electric energy 740 based on the piezoelectric element included in the wearable device, (740) may be used for charging the battery of the wearable device.

In addition, the wearable device can convert the body temperature of the user into electric energy 740 using a thermal conversion element (or a thermoelectric element) without a separate kinetic energy 720, It can be used for charging the battery.

In addition, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the stress sensing part of the wearable device is implemented as a piezoelectric device, so that the electric energy 740 can be generated by the pressing operation of the stress sensing part of the user, 740 may be used for charging the battery of the wearable device.

FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram showing a charging operation of the wearable device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

In Fig. 8, a charging operation according to the power state of the wearable apparatus is started.

Referring to FIG. 8, the wearable device can transmit battery status information to the user device. For example, the wearable device may transmit battery status information to the user device with or separately from the stress awareness information.

The user device can determine the stress-free content based on the received battery status information together with the stress-perception information. For example, the user device determines the stress-free content of the user in consideration of the current battery status information. If the battery status is the first critical range (e.g., 0 to 30%) 810, Content 815 can be provided. In addition, if the battery condition is a second critical range (e.g., 30-60%) 820, the second stress relief content 825 can be provided. Further, if the battery condition is a third threshold range (e.g., 60 to 100%) 830, third stress-free content 835 can be provided.

The first stress-free content 815 may be content that is capable of generating more electrical energy than the second stress-free content 825 (e.g., content for a relatively motion-intensive stress-free procedure) 2 stress blank content 825 may be content that can generate more electrical energy than third stress blank content 835. [

In addition, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the wearable device can transmit a battery status notification message to the user device when the battery status falls within a certain critical range and is not felt to be worn by a person. The battery status notification message may include information on the current battery state of the wearable device and notification information for requesting charging of the battery. Specifically, when the battery state of the wearable device belongs to the above-described first critical range (for example, 0 to 30%) 810 and the wearable device detects a specific temperature (for example, a human body temperature of 36 to 38 degrees) If not, the wearable device can send a battery status notification message to the user device.

The user can receive the battery status notification message through the user device and perform the charging procedure of the wearable device.

FIG. 9 is a conceptual diagram showing a stress perception part of a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In Fig. 9, the operation of the stress sensing unit according to the battery state of the wearable apparatus is started.

Referring to FIG. 9, a display unit may be implemented in a wearable device, and a degree of stress experienced by a user in a display unit may be displayed based on a gauge.

For example, the gauge may have a numerical value of 1 to 10, and the user may set the stress gauge of the wearable device to a specific value of 1 to 10 by adjusting the degree of stress or the number of times of pressing the part, .

At this time, the wearable apparatus can set the increase width of the gauge depending on the depression of the stress recognition unit 900 according to the battery state. For example, when the battery state is in the third critical range (for example, 60 to 100%), the gauge may be changed by 1 when the stress sensing unit 900 is pressed with a force of 2, The relationship between the stress sensing unit 900 and the gauge can be set so that the gauge can be changed by 1 when the stress sensing unit 900 is pressed with a force of 10 (for example, 0 to 30%) have. In this way, when the battery is relatively small, the user can press the stress sensing part 900 with relatively high force to generate more electric energy to charge the battery through electric energy.

As another example, when the battery state is in the third critical range (e.g., 60 to 100%), the gauge may change by one when the stress perception part is pressed once, and when the battery state is in the first critical range 0 to 30%), the relationship between the stress recognition unit 900 and the gauge can be set so that the gauge can be changed by one every time the stress recognition unit 900 is pressed five times. In this way, when the battery is relatively small, the battery can be charged with electric energy by generating more electric energy by pressing the stress sensing part 900 relatively more times.

10 is a conceptual view showing a wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

10, the wearable apparatus may include a stress recognition unit 1000, an energy conversion unit 1010, a battery state determination unit 1020, a communication unit 1030, a battery unit 1040, and a processor 1050 have.

The stress sensing unit 1000 may be implemented to receive a touch signal by a user and generate stress sensing information according to a touch signal. The stress sensing unit 1000 can recognize the stress of the user at different pressures and different times depending on the battery condition.

The energy conversion unit 1010 may be implemented to convert the operation energy / thermal energy into electric energy based on the piezoelectric element and / or the thermoelectric element.

The battery state determination unit 1020 can be implemented to determine state information of the battery unit 1040 of the wearable device and generate battery state information.

The communication unit 1030 may be implemented to transmit the stress identification information and the battery status information.

The battery unit 1040 may be implemented to supply electrical energy to the wearable device and to store electrical energy based on the power supplied by the energy conversion unit 1010. [

In FIG. 11, it is assumed that the stress characteristic information analysis, the stress-free content provision, and the fill content provision are performed by the user apparatus.

Each component of the user device may be implemented to perform the operations of the user device described above with respect to Figs. For example, each component can perform the following operations.

The communication unit 1100 may be implemented for communication with each of the stress management service server and the wearable device. The user apparatus receives the stress information via the communication unit 1100, receives the stress-free content from the stress management service server through the communication unit 1100, and receives the content.
