Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ultrasound detection technology, and in particular to a method for monitoring the operating status of ultrasound equipment and its beacon association device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern medicine, ultrasound machines are widely used in human examinations and treatments. Due to the high frequency of use of ultrasound equipment, it is prone to malfunctions. However, there is no device on the market that can monitor the use of the ultrasound bed to obtain data on the operating status of the ultrasound machine. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the technical problem solved by this invention is to provide a method for monitoring the operating status of ultrasound equipment.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a method for monitoring the operating status of ultrasound equipment. This method obtains the operating status of the monitored ultrasound equipment by taking sequential interval sampling and using a beacon association device, and includes the following steps:
[0005] Step 1: Collect data. Use a pressure sensor to collect data, with an initial sensor value of 1. When someone lies down, the sensor value changes from 1 to 0; when the person stands up, the sensor value changes from 0 to 1.
[0006] Step 2: Filter out interference data. When the sensor data changes from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0, a jitter wave value Ti will be generated. Use a delay method to filter out the interference data.
[0007] Step 3: Collect data based on the pulsation. When the data remains unchanged and is consistently 1 or 0, sample with pulses of period Ts. When the wave value changes from 1 to 0, stop sampling until it stabilizes at 0, then restart sampling. When the data changes from 0 to 1, stop sampling until it stabilizes at 1, then restart sampling.
[0008] Step 4: Sending collected data. After each sampling is completed, the scanning function is restarted to send the scanned beacon information and sampling data to the server via wireless communication.
[0009] Step 5: Data recovery and processing. The cloud server will recover the collected Ts pulse data. The duration from T1 to T2 is T2-T1, which is the duration of the person lying down.
[0010] Step six: Data analysis yields operational status data. Statistical analysis of the time interval from T1 to T2 can provide all operational status data of the monitored equipment.
[0011] Another technical problem solved by the present invention is to provide a beacon association device, including a monitoring terminal, a beacon, an ultrasound device, and a cloud server. The monitoring terminal is an independent and separate device. The beacon is installed on the ultrasound device and establishes a unique association information relationship with the monitoring terminal in the cloud server. The monitoring terminal and the cloud server are connected via communication signals.
[0012] The monitoring terminal includes a pressure sensor, a data acquisition module, a scanning module, an MCU control module, and a communication module. The data acquisition module is configured with a device data acquisition strategy. It acquires pressure data from the ultrasound device through the pressure sensor and transmits the pressure data to the MCU control module via an analog-to-digital converter. The scanning module scans the beacon signals bound to the ultrasound device to the MCU control module. The MCU control module sends the data to the cloud server via the communication module for data monitoring and analysis.
[0013] Preferably, the MCU control module is configured with business control logic to control the data acquisition module and the communication module, complete the functions of device monitoring and communication with the cloud server, and achieve a low-power ultra-long standby strategy.
[0014] Preferably, the communication module is configured with a communication strategy and a low-power strategy with the cloud server. During communication, the monitoring terminal sends the data collected and processed by the data acquisition module to the cloud server. After the monitoring terminal finishes sending the data, the communication module automatically enters the PSM low-power mode, thereby realizing a low-power ultra-long standby strategy.
[0015] The low-power ultra-long standby strategy is implemented as follows: the data acquisition module, scanning module, MCU control module, and communication module are all in low-power mode. When data transmission or other operations are required, the MCU control module and the data acquisition module, scanning module, and communication module that need to be woken up will be activated to work. After the work is completed, they will immediately re-enter the low-power mode, thereby achieving the purpose of low-power ultra-long standby.
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this invention allows for remote monitoring and analysis of ultrasound equipment usage data, such as the number of times and duration of use, via a cloud server, significantly reducing the equipment's failure rate. Furthermore, since the pressure sensor placed on the ultrasound bed is completely separate from the ultrasound equipment itself, replacing the ultrasound bed does not affect the monitoring and analysis of the ultrasound equipment's operational status data.

[0024] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but these are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[0025] Figure 1 A method for monitoring the operating status of ultrasound equipment is shown, which obtains the operating status of the monitored ultrasound equipment by sampling at intervals using a sampling sequence and connecting it to a beacon, including the following steps:
[0026] Step 1: Data Collection. A pressure sensor is used to collect data, with an initial value of 1. When someone lies down, the sensor value changes from 1 to 0; when the person stands up, the sensor value changes from 0 to 1. Figure 2 As shown;
[0027] Step 2: Filter out interference data. When the sensor data changes from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0, a jitter wave value (Ti) will be generated. Use a delay method to filter out the interference data.
[0028] Step 3: Collect data based on the pulsation pattern, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, when the data remains unchanged and is always 1 or 0, it is sampled with pulses of period Ts; when the wave value changes from 1 to 0, sampling stops until it stabilizes at 0, then sampling restarts; when the data changes from 0 to 1, sampling stops until it stabilizes at 1, then sampling restarts.
[0029] Step 4: Sending collected data. After each sampling is completed, the scanning function is restarted to send the scanned beacon information and sampling data to the server via wireless communication.
[0030] Step 5: Data recovery and processing, such as... Figure 5 As shown, cloud server 4 will reconstruct the data from the collected Ts pulses. The duration from T1 to T2 is T2-T1, which is the duration of a person lying down.
[0031] Step 6: Data analysis yields operational status data. Statistical analysis of the time interval from T1 to T2 can provide all operational status data of the monitored equipment.
[0032] A beacon association device includes a monitoring terminal 1, a beacon 2, an ultrasound device 3, and a cloud server 4. The monitoring terminal 1 is an independent and separate device. The beacon 2 is installed on the ultrasound device 3 and establishes a unique association information relationship with the monitoring terminal 1 in the cloud server 4. The monitoring terminal 1 and the cloud server 4 are connected by a communication signal.
[0033] The monitoring terminal 1 includes a pressure sensor 11, a data acquisition module 12, a scanning module 13, an MCU control module 14, and a communication module 15. The data acquisition module 12 is configured with a device data acquisition strategy. It acquires pressure data of the ultrasound device 3 through the pressure sensor 11 and transmits the pressure data to the MCU control module 14 through an analog-to-digital converter. The scanning module 13 scans the beacon 2 signal bound to the ultrasound device 3 to the MCU control module 14. The MCU control module 14 sends the data to the cloud server 4 through the communication module for data monitoring and analysis.
[0034] Preferably, the MCU control module 14 is configured with business control logic to control the data acquisition module 12 and the communication module 15, complete the functions of device monitoring and communication with the cloud server 4, and achieve a low-power ultra-long standby strategy.
[0035] Preferably, the communication module 15 is configured with a communication strategy and a low-power strategy with the cloud server 4. During the communication process, the monitoring terminal 1 sends the data collected and processed by the data acquisition module 12 to the cloud server 4. After the monitoring terminal 1 finishes sending the data, the communication module 15 will automatically enter the PSM low-power mode, thereby realizing the low-power ultra-long standby strategy.
[0036] The low-power ultra-long standby strategy is implemented as follows: the data acquisition module 12, scanning module 13, MCU control module 14 and communication module 15 are all in low-power mode. When data transmission or other operations are required, the MCU control module 14 and the data acquisition module 12, scanning module 13 and communication module 15 that need to be woken up will be activated to work. After the work is completed, they will immediately re-enter the low-power mode, thereby achieving the purpose of low-power ultra-long standby.
[0037] When using this invention, as Figure 7As shown, since the monitoring terminal 1 and the ultrasound device 3 placed on the ultrasound bed are completely separate, the information of beacon 2, monitoring terminal 1, and ultrasound device 3 need to be entered into the cloud server 4 in advance to make unique association information. Through step five and the association information, (T2-T1) is obtained, which is the single running time of the monitored ultrasound device 3. Then, through statistical analysis, all the operating status data of the monitored device can be obtained.
[0038] Compared with existing technologies, this invention allows for remote monitoring and analysis of ultrasound equipment usage data, such as the number of times and duration of use, via a cloud server, significantly reducing the equipment's failure rate. Furthermore, since the pressure sensor placed on the ultrasound bed is completely separate from the ultrasound equipment itself, replacing the ultrasound bed does not affect the monitoring and analysis of the ultrasound equipment's operational status data.
[0039] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
