[0044] The present invention provides an intelligent card.

[0045] Refer to Figure 1 , the intelligent card 100 includes a card body 110, a plurality of first electrode sheets 120, an electrocardiogram analysis module 130, and a power supply module 140.

[0046] The number of the first electrode sheets 120 is at least two or more. One first electrode sheet 120 is used to collect the electrocardiogram signal of the left hand, and one first electrode sheet 120 is used to collect the electrocardiogram signal of the right hand. A plurality of first electrode sheets 120 can be arranged on the surface of the card body 110.

[0047] The electrocardiogram analysis module 130 is disposed inside the card body 110. Each first electrode sheet 120 is connected to the electrocardiogram analysis module 130, and each first electrode sheet 120 transmits the collected electrocardiogram signal to the electrocardiogram analysis module 130. An electrocardiogram analysis program is set in the electrocardiogram analysis module 130, and the electrocardiogram analysis module 130 analyzes the electrocardiogram signal through the electrocardiogram analysis program to obtain an analysis result.

[0048] The power supply module 140 can be built inside the card body 110 or disposed on the surface of the card body 110. The power supply module 140 is respectively connected to the electrocardiogram analysis module 130 and each first electrode patch 120. That is, the power supply module 140 supplies power to the first electrode patch 120, enabling the first electrode patch 120 to collect the electrocardiogram signal of the human body, and the power supply module 140 supplies power to the electrocardiogram analysis module 130, enabling the electrocardiogram analysis module 130 to analyze the electrocardiogram signal to obtain an analysis result.

[0049] In this embodiment, the smart card 100 refers to a card in the shape of a card. Due to the small volume of the card, the smart card 100 that can collect and analyze electrocardiogram signals is convenient to carry.

[0050] In this embodiment, the material of the card body 110 itself is an insulating material. For example, the material of the card body 110 is plastic. The electrocardiogram analysis module 130 disposed inside the card body 110 can be a microprocessor. Conductive wires can be filled inside the card body 110, and through the conductive wires, the electrocardiogram signal collected by the first electrode patch 110 can be transmitted to the electrocardiogram analysis module 130.

[0051] In this embodiment, the smart card includes a card body, a plurality of electrode patches disposed on the card body for collecting the electrocardiogram signal of the human body, an electrocardiogram analysis module connected to the electrode patches and disposed inside the card body, and a power supply module connecting the electrode patches and the electrocardiogram analysis module. In the present invention, the electrode patches and the electrocardiogram analysis module are provided in the smart card, enabling the smart card to collect and analyze the electrocardiogram signal of the user, and the smart card has a small volume and is convenient to carry.

[0052] In one embodiment, the smart card 100 can be a financial card or a bus card. The financial card is, for example, a bank card, a credit card, a social security card, etc. Since the smart card 100 is a financial card or a bus card, the smart card 100 is equipped with a magnetic stripe, and the analysis result of the electrocardiogram signal analyzed by the electrocardiogram analysis module 130 can be read through the magnetic stripe, and then the analysis result can be displayed, without configuring a communication module for the smart card 100, reducing the analysis cost of the electrocardiogram signal.

[0053] Refer to Figure 2, a first storage area 111 and a near - field communication module 112 are provided inside the card body 110. Since the smart card 100 is a financial card or a transportation card, the smart card 100 stores users' private information. For example, if the smart card 100 is a bank card, the smart card 100 stores private information such as the user's savings amount, the account number and password of the user's online bank. These private information are defined as user information. The first storage area 111 is used to store user information. The near - field communication module 112 is an NFC (Near Field Communication) module. External terminal devices can only read user information through the near - field communication module 112. That is to say, the first storage area 111 is actually a secure storage area. Thus, it is avoided that the user information in the smart card 100 is read randomly, resulting in the leakage of user information.

[0054] Furthermore, since the smart card 100 is a financial card or a transportation card, the user may need to withdraw cash with the financial card or take public transportation with the transportation card. And the first electrode piece 120 can be arranged on the surface of the card body 110. In this regard, the first electrode piece 120 is detachably connected to the card body 110. When it is necessary to withdraw cash and swipe the card with the smart card 100, or take public transportation with the smart card 100, each first electrode piece 120 can be removed; if the smart card 100 is used for electrocardiogram signal acquisition, each first electrode piece 120 is installed on the card body 110. Each first electrode piece 110 can be detachably connected to the card body 110 by physical adsorption. For example, the first electrode piece 110 is provided with a suction cup, and the first electrode piece 110 is installed on the set area of the card body 110 through the suction cup. The set area can expose the interface, so that the first electrode piece 120 is connected to the electrocardiogram analysis module 130 inside the card body 110 through the interface.

[0055] In this embodiment, an existing financial card or transportation card can be used to make the smart card 100 with electrocardiogram signal acquisition and analysis functions, which can save the production cost.

[0056] The financial card or transportation card can download the electrocardiogram analysis function, and this electrocardiogram analysis function can be downloaded in the cloud and installed on the processor in the smart card or transportation card. In addition, the financial card and the transportation card also have interfaces, and these interfaces can be used to connect electrode pieces, and the electrocardiogram signals collected by the electrode pieces can be transmitted to the processor through the interfaces for electrocardiogram analysis.

[0057] Refer to Figure 3, each first electrode piece 120 can be built into the card body 110, and each first electrode piece 110 is connected to the electrocardiogram analysis module 120 through the circuit inside the card body 110. Since each first electrode piece 120 is built into the card body 110, the smart card 100 is more convenient to carry. If the smart card 100 is a financial card or a bus card, the built-in first electrode piece 120 will not affect the normal use of the financial card or the bus card. In addition, since the first electrode piece 120 is built into the card body 110, the first electrode piece 120 is protected by the card body 110, and the first electrode piece 120 is not easily damaged, extending the service life of the smart card 110 for collecting electrocardiogram signals.

[0058] In one embodiment, the power supply module 140 is a battery, and the battery is arranged inside the card body 110. The built-in battery can supply power to the electrocardiogram analysis module 130 and each first electrode piece 120 for operation. The battery can be a rechargeable battery, and can be charged by contact or non-contact methods. With one charge, the smart card 100 can perform electrocardiogram collection and analysis for several months.

[0059] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4 , a charging circuit 150 is provided inside the card body 110. The charging circuit 150 is connected to the power supply module 140. By connecting the charging circuit 150 to an external power supply, the external power supply can charge the power supply module 140 through the charging circuit 150, enabling the smart card 100 to be charged at any time and avoiding the situation where the smart card 100 cannot perform electrocardiogram collection and analysis due to insufficient power.

[0060] Referring to Figure 5 , the power supply module 140 is a battery box, the card body 110 is connected to the battery box through a wire, and the battery box is provided with a plurality of second electrode pieces 160. The number of the second electrode pieces 160 is at least two or more, that is, the electrocardiogram signals of the left hand and the right hand can be collected. The second electrode pieces 160 can be connected to the battery box through wires. The second electrode pieces 160 can transmit the collected electrocardiogram signals to the battery box, and the battery box then transmits the electrocardiogram signals to the electrocardiogram analysis module 130 inside the card body 110. The battery box can supply power to the electrocardiogram analysis module 130 inside the card body 110 to enable the electrocardiogram analysis module 130 to work.

[0061] In addition, a battery can be arranged inside the card body 110, and the battery can be charged through the battery box. The user can collect the electrocardiogram signals of the left hand or the right hand through the first electrode piece 120 or the second electrode piece 160.

[0062] Further referring to Figure 8, the battery case 140 includes a battery, a second electrode sheet, and a metal elastic sheet. The second electrode sheet and the metal elastic sheet are detachably disposed in the battery case 140. When the smart card 100 needs to be charged, the smart card 100 is inserted into the battery case 140, and the first electrode sheet of the smart card 100 is connected to the metal elastic sheet of the battery case 140. The battery case 140 collects electrocardiogram signals through the second electrode sheet. The electrocardiogram signals are transmitted from the second electrode sheet to the metal elastic sheet, and then the metal elastic sheet transmits the electrocardiogram signals to the electrocardiogram analysis module 130 in the smart card 100 through the first electrode sheet. It should be noted that the first electrode sheet on the smart card 100 cannot be removed.

[0063] In this embodiment, there are two or more second electrode sheets 160 on the battery case. The second electrode sheets 160 are connected to the battery case through one or more wires or other metals. The battery case is connected to the smart card 100 through wires or other metals.

[0064] The smart card 100 also has two or more first electrode sheets 120. The smart card 100 supports contact and non-contact charging.

[0065] The smart card 100 can be a bank card, a social security card, etc. The main control MCU in the smart card 100 communicates with the first storage area 111 through SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) or other serial ports. The smart card 100 can communicate with mobile devices such as mobile phones through Bluetooth or NFC.

[0066] The smart card 100 can collect electrocardiogram signals of the left and right hands through two or more electrode sheets (the first electrode sheet or the second electrode sheet). Alternatively, the smart card 100 can collect electrocardiogram signals by attaching two or more electrode sheets (the first electrode sheet or the second electrode sheet) to the body.

[0067] The signals collected by the electrode sheets are filtered and amplified and then transmitted to the MCU. The MCU can perform the work of the electrocardiogram analysis module 130, that is, the MCU can process and analyze electrocardiogram data through professional algorithms. The analysis results can be displayed on a mobile phone or a tablet computer.

[0068] The data of the dynamic electrocardiogram can also be stored in the smart card 100. The smart card 100 can store data for 24 hours or even several days. The data of the dynamic electrocardiogram can also be connected to the cloud through Bluetooth for big data analysis.

[0069] The smart card can also be built with a rechargeable battery, and the first electrode sheet 120 for collecting electrocardiogram signals can also be built inside the smart card 100. The battery powers the first secure storage area, the MCU, the first electrode sheet, etc. The battery can be charged in contact and non-contact ways. Once the battery is charged, the smart card 100 can be used for several months.

[0070] In one embodiment, a second storage area (not labeled) is provided in the card body 110, and the second storage area stores the electrocardiogram results obtained by the electrocardiogram analysis module analyzing the electrocardiogram signals. The second storage area can store electrocardiogram data for 24 hours or several days, and the data in the second storage area will be periodically cleared to avoid insufficient storage space in the second storage area.

[0071] In one embodiment, a Bluetooth module is provided inside the card body 110. The Bluetooth module can be a Bluetooth antenna. The smart card 100 can be Bluetooth-connected to a terminal device through the Bluetooth module. After the smart card 100 is connected to the terminal device, the electrocardiogram results analyzed by the electrocardiogram analysis module 130 can be sent to the terminal device for display. The terminal device can be a mobile phone, a tablet, a computer, or a cloud server.

[0072] In one embodiment, a control module (not labeled) is provided inside the card body 110, and the control module can be an MCU (Microcontroller Unit). The control module is connected to the electrocardiogram analysis module 130. The control module is used to control the transmission of data inside the smart card 100. For example, after the control module recognizes that the terminal device is Bluetooth-connected to the smart card 100, it sends the electrocardiogram results stored in the second storage area to the terminal device. For another example, when the control module receives a transaction request through the near-field communication module, the control module reads the user information in the first storage area 111 and sends the user information through the near-field communication module.

[0073] In this embodiment, a dynamic electrocardiogram analysis and Bluetooth communication function are added on the basis of the original smart card, and a battery box is added. The battery box includes electrode pads, and the electrode pads are connected to the smart card through contacts or Bluetooth. It combines security, portability, and ease of use. The smart card can also be Bluetooth-connected to mobile devices such as mobile phones to facilitate data synchronization.

[0074] Refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 which is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the smart card of the present invention.

[0075] 1. Collect the user's electrocardiogram signals using the second electrode pads on the battery box 140;

[0076] 2. The second electrode pads ( Figure 6 N second electrode pads are connected to the left side of the battery box in the figure) transmit the collected electrocardiogram signals to the battery box 140;

[0077] 3. The battery box 140 transmits the electrocardiogram signals to the electrocardiogram analysis module 130 inside the card body 110;

[0078] 4. The MCU transmits the analysis results obtained by the electrocardiogram analysis module 130 analyzing the electrocardiogram signals to the device end through Bluetooth;

[0079] 5. The MCU transmits the user information in the first storage area 111 to the device end through the NFC antenna.

[0080] Refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 which is another schematic diagram of the scenario of the smart card of the present invention.

[0081] The smart card is internally provided with at least two first electrode pads, and each first electrode pad transmits the collected electrocardiogram signal to the electrocardiogram analysis module. The electrocardiogram analysis module analyzes the electrocardiogram signal to obtain an analysis result, and transmits the analysis result to the device end through the Bluetooth antenna. The device end can send the analysis result to the server. A first storage area is provided in the smart card. The first storage area is a secure storage area, which can be connected to the MCU, and the first storage area is connected to the NFC antenna and the contact carrier. The MCU can send the user information in the first storage area to external devices through the NFC antenna. A battery is also provided in the smart card, and the battery can be connected through a charging circuit.

[0082] In an embodiment, in order to save the power of the battery module of the smart card 100, the electrocardiogram analysis module 130 is in a sleep state. Specifically, a switch is provided between the power module 140 and the electrocardiogram analysis module 130, and the switch is controlled by the MCU in the smart card 100. In a general state, the switch is off, so that the electrocardiogram analysis module 130 is in a sleep state.

[0083] In an example, the electrocardiogram signal collected by the first electrode pad 120 can be first transmitted to the MCU. When the MCU receives the electrocardiogram signal, it controls the switch to conduct, and then the MCU sends the electrocardiogram signal to the electrocardiogram analysis module 130, thereby saving the power of the power module.

[0084] In another example, a temperature sensor can be provided on the first electrode pad 120. The temperature sensor transmits the detected temperature to the MCU. If the MCU determines that the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is within the human body temperature range, it can determine that the first electrode pad 120 is collecting an electrocardiogram signal. The MCU then controls the switch to conduct, so that the first electrode pad 120 transmits the collected electrocardiogram signal to the electrocardiogram analysis module 130.

[0085] In an embodiment, a Bluetooth antenna and an NFC antenna are provided inside the smart card 100, that is, the smart card 100 can perform data transmission through Bluetooth and near field communication.

[0086] The MCU inside the smart card 100 can communicate using Bluetooth or near field communication based on the current state of the smart card 100.

[0087] In one example, if the MCU detects that the first electrode patch 120 is collecting an electrocardiogram signal, or detects that the electrocardiogram analysis module 130 is working, the MCU uses Bluetooth to transmit data to an external device.

[0088] If the MCU does not detect that the first electrode patch 120 is collecting an electrocardiogram signal or does not detect that the electrocardiogram analysis module 130 is working, the MCU communicates with the external device in the NCF manner.

[0089] After considering the specification and practicing the invention disclosed herein, those skilled in the art will readily conceive of other embodiments of the present invention. The present invention is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present invention that follow the general principles of the present invention and include known common knowledge or
