[0035] In order to solve the problem of high power consumption of the sensor component of the implant during use, this embodiment provides a control device for the implant to control the working state of the sensor component.
[0036] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the application environment of a control device for an implant according to an embodiment of the present application. The implant described in the present invention can be integrated into joint replacement prostheses, spines, etc. in various parts of the human body or animals. The implant includes an integrated circuit component 1, a sensor component 2, a battery component 3, a control device 4, and a sealing component 5. Among them, the sensor component 2 is connected to the integrated circuit component 1 to realize signal transmission and power supply, the battery component 3 is connected to the integrated circuit component 1 to realize power supply to the entire system, the control device 4 is connected to the integrated circuit component 1 to realize signal transmission, and the sealing component 5 is arranged on the outside of the implant to protect its interior from the patient's body fluids.
[0037] The integrated circuit component 1 has a built-in electronic clock that works continuously to record time in real time, and can send the signals it collects and processes to the target object or the software client held by the doctor through wireless transmission technology.
[0038] The sensor assembly 2 may include various physical sensors including pressure sensors, displacement sensors, acceleration sensors, temperature sensors, pH sensors, as well as biosensors for monitoring bacteria, viruses and other units, and even devices with therapeutic functions (such as sustained drug release).
[0039] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, a control device for an implant is provided, wherein the control device is applied to Figure 1 Taking the application environment of as an example, the control device 4 includes a control component 401 connected to the sensor component and a monitoring component 402 connected to the control component; wherein the monitoring component 402 generates a corresponding monitoring signal in response to the activity state of the target object; the control component 401 determines the activity state of the target object according to the monitoring signal and controls the working state of the sensor component.
[0040] It is understandable that the target object in this embodiment can be a human or other animal that needs to be treated and has an implant installed, such as a cow, sheep, etc. The activity state of the target object includes a sleeping state, a moving state, etc.
[0041] It is understandable that the working state of the sensor component includes a normal working state when powered on, a dormant state when powered off, and an intermittent working state.
[0042] In this embodiment, the monitoring component 402 can generate a corresponding monitoring signal in response to the activity state of the target object. For example, when the target object is in a sleeping state or a stationary state, the monitoring component can generate a corresponding monitoring signal; when the target object is in an active state (walking, moving), the monitoring component can generate a corresponding monitoring signal that is different from the monitoring signal generated in the sleeping state.
[0043] In this embodiment, the control component 401 determines the target object's activity state based on the monitoring signal and controls the operating state of the sensor component. As can be seen above, there is a corresponding relationship between the target object's activity state and the monitoring signal, so the control component determines the target object's activity state based on the monitoring signal. The control component can control the operating state of the sensor component. For example, when the target object is in motion, the control component controls the sensor component to be in an active state; when the target object is in a sleeping state or stationary state, the control component controls the sensor component to be in a dormant state.
[0044] It should be noted that the control component 401 needs to control the working state of the sensor component according to the function of the actual sensor component. Generally speaking, the sensor component, such as an accelerometer, is mainly used to obtain data when the target object is in an active state. Therefore, when the target object is in motion, the control component controls the sensor component to be in an active state, and when the target object is in a sleep state or a stationary state, the control component controls the sensor component to be in a sleep state. For other types of sensor components, such as those used to obtain data when the target object is in a sleep state or a stationary state, the control component adopts the opposite control method. When the target object is in motion, the control component controls the sensor component to be in a sleep state, and when the target object is in a sleep state or a stationary state, the control component controls the sensor component to be in an active state.
[0045] The above-mentioned monitoring component 402 includes a first monitoring component 4021 and a second monitoring component 4022. The positional relationship between the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022 is determined by the activity state of the target object, and the monitoring signal is determined by the positional relationship between the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022.
[0046] It is understood that the monitoring component 402 is linked to the target object's activity state, which is specifically manifested in the positional relationship between the first monitoring component and the second monitoring component. The positional relationship between the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022 includes, but is not limited to, a separation state and a contact state, wherein the separation state includes separation at different distances and the contact state includes contact at different contact areas.
[0047] The monitoring signal is determined by the positional relationship between the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022. In one exemplary embodiment, the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022 are electrically conductive conductors. The electrical signal generated by the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022 is determined by the positional relationship between the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022. The monitoring signal is determined by the electrical signal generated by the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022. In another embodiment, the first monitoring component 4021 is a magnet and the second monitoring component 4022 is an electrically conductive conductor. Based on the principle of magnetoelectricity, electrical signals of varying magnitudes can be output as the monitoring signal depending on the positional relationship between the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022. It should be noted that the positional relationship between the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022 can lead to different specific implementations, and the monitoring signal is not limited to an electrical signal but can also be a magnetic signal, etc., which will not be listed in this embodiment.
[0048] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the first monitoring component 4021 is a rigid conductor and is in the shape of a trumpet that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The second monitoring component 4022 is a flexible conductor and is vertically arranged in the first monitoring component 4021. The equivalent resistance value of the first monitoring component and the second monitoring component 4022 is determined by the positional relationship between the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022. The electrical signals generated by the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022 are determined by the equivalent resistance value of the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022.
[0049] Since the first monitoring component 4021 is a rigid conductor, its relative position in the implant will not change with the activity state of the target object, and the second monitoring component 4022 is a flexible conductor, and its own state will change with the activity state of the target object. It should be noted that the rigid conductor in this embodiment does not necessarily need to be made of a hard conductive material, and a less hard conductive material that maintains the basic shape can also be used. It should also be noted that the flexible conductor in this embodiment does not necessarily need to be made of flexible conductive materials, and can also be obtained by connecting multiple rigid conductors in series through flexible conductive materials, such as Figure 4 As shown, its own state can also change with the activity state of the target object. The flexible conductor in this embodiment can also be formed into a chain structure using multiple rigid conductors or flexible conductors, such as Figure 5 As shown, its own state can also change with the activity state of the target object.
[0050] Based on the structure of the above-mentioned monitoring components, it can be seen that when the target object is in a standing state, the second monitoring component 4022 is not in contact with the first monitoring component 4021 due to the action of gravity. Therefore, the second monitoring component 4022 and the first monitoring component 4021 do not form a circuit, and therefore no electrical signal is generated, that is, no monitoring signal is generated. When the target object is in a prone sleeping state, the second monitoring component 4022 is in contact with the first monitoring component 4021 for a long time due to the action of gravity, and thus can output a stable electrical signal. When the target object is in a moving state, the second monitoring component 4022 is in intermittent contact with the first monitoring component 4021 due to the action of inertia, and thus can output an intermittent electrical signal. From the above, it can be seen that the control component 402 can determine the activity state of the target object based on the monitoring signal and control the working state of the sensor component according to different activity states.
[0051] In other embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the shape of the first monitoring component 4021 can also be cylindrical, and its working principle is the same as that of the above embodiment, so it is not repeated here. It should be noted that the shape of the first monitoring component 4021 can also be other achievable shapes, and its working principle is the same as that of the above embodiment, so it is not repeated here.
[0052] In one embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the first monitoring component 4021 is trumpet-shaped with a narrow top and a wide bottom, and its sidewall is in an inwardly curved arc. It is understandable that when the target object's activity intensity is high, such as Figure 8 As shown, the swing amplitude of the second monitoring component 4022 is also relatively large. When the activity intensity of the target object is small, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown, the swing amplitude of the second monitoring component 4022 is also relatively small. In this embodiment, the sidewalls of the first monitoring component 4021 are configured to be curved inwards. This allows the contact area between the second monitoring component 4022 and the first monitoring component 4021 to vary when the target object has different activity intensities. This also allows the equivalent resistance values of the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022 to vary, resulting in different electrical signals generated by the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022. Therefore, the control component 402 can also determine the target object's activity intensity based on the strength of the monitoring signal.
[0053] Considering that when the target object's activity intensity is high, its vital sign data also reaches a higher level, it is necessary to collect data from the target object in real time or at a higher frequency. Conversely, data can be collected at a lower frequency.
[0054] It should be noted that the activity intensity of the target object in this embodiment corresponds to its movement amplitude. When the target object exercises with high intensity, that is, with a large amplitude, the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022 are in an intermittent full-contact state, that is, a full-width opening and closing alternating state; when the target object exercises with small or medium intensity, that is, with a small or medium amplitude, the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022 are in an intermittent non-full-contact state, that is, a non-full-width opening and closing alternating state.
[0055] In this embodiment, the control component 401 also controls the sensor components to collect data at a corresponding acquisition frequency based on the target subject's activity intensity level. In one exemplary embodiment, the target subject's activity intensity level is divided into five levels. As the amplitude of movement increases from level 1 to level 5, the contact area between the first monitoring component and the second monitoring component also increases, and the intermittent sampling frequency of the corresponding sensor components also increases. For example, when small to medium-intensity movement is level 2, the sensor components collect data every one minute, while when small to medium-intensity movement is level 1, the sensor components collect data every five minutes. In practice, the specific frequency of data collection and the duration of each data collection are set based on the type of sensor component. For example, for a temperature sensor, data collection lasts for one second, while for a gait sensor, data collection lasts for at least three seconds to provide a relatively stable measurement of the patient's gait. For a temperature sensor, human body temperature does not rise or fall very quickly, so data can be collected every tens of seconds or even minutes. For a gait sensor, the target subject may change gait at any time, so the sampling interval needs to be smaller, such as every 10 seconds.
[0056] Doctors or other users can use the software client to view the above collected data in real time, such as the amount of movement of the current target object at each amplitude and the information collected by the corresponding sensor components.
[0057] In one embodiment, the curvature of the sidewall of the first monitoring assembly 4021 is determined by the target subject's activity type. For example, for a target subject with greater activity intensity, a larger curvature can be designed to accommodate their greater range of motion. In this embodiment, the curvature of the sidewall of the first monitoring assembly 4021 is set based on the target subject's activity type, enabling better monitoring of the target subject's activity status.
[0058] In one embodiment, the distance between the second monitoring component 4022 and the first monitoring component 4021 is determined by the target object's activity type. For example, for a target object with greater activity intensity, a larger distance can be designed to accommodate their greater movements. In this embodiment, the distance between the second monitoring component 4022 and the first monitoring component 4021 is set based on the target object's activity type, enabling better monitoring of the target object's activity status.
[0059] In one embodiment, when the monitoring signal meets the preset step counting rules, the control component 401 determines the target subject's step count based on the monitoring signal. It is understood that when the target subject is running or walking, the positional relationship between the first monitoring component 4021 and the second monitoring component 4022 will also show a certain periodic change, thereby generating a monitoring signal with a certain period, which meets the preset step counting rules. The monitoring component counts the target subject's steps based on the frequency of the monitoring signal. If the target subject's step count is too high or too low, the doctor can remind the target subject, etc.
[0060] In one embodiment, the control component 401 further determines the target subject's amount of exercise based on the monitoring signal. The relationship between the monitoring signal and the target subject's activity intensity is disclosed above. Therefore, the control component can determine the target subject's current activity intensity based on the monitoring signal and, based on the duration of the activity, determine the target subject's amount of exercise. If the target subject's amount of exercise is excessive or insufficient, the doctor can provide a reminder to the target subject.
[0061] In one embodiment, the control component 401 further calculates the remaining operating time of the sensor assembly, determines the cumulative power consumption based on the sensor assembly's power, determines the remaining capacity of the battery assembly based on the battery assembly's capacity, and further determines the remaining operating time of the sensor assembly based on the remaining capacity. In this embodiment, the control component predicts the lifespan of the implant and facilitates early replacement of the implant.
[0062] In one embodiment, a control method for an implant is further provided, which is applied to the control device for the implant in the above embodiment.

[0064] S802: The control component determines the activity state of the target object according to the monitoring signal, and controls the working state of the sensor component.

[0066] In one embodiment, the control component determines the activity intensity level of the target object according to the intensity of the monitoring signal, and controls the sensor component to collect data at a corresponding collection frequency according to the activity intensity level of the target object.
[0067] In one embodiment, when the monitoring signal meets a preset step counting rule, the control component determines the number of steps of the target object based on the monitoring signal.
[0068] In one embodiment, the control component further determines the amount of motion of the target object based on the monitoring signal.
