[0024] Figure 1The following is a block diagram illustrating a biosignal detection system according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown, biosignal detection system 100 includes a liquid crystal antenna 110, a first device 120, a first processor 130, and a second device 140. First device 120 includes a receiving antenna 121 and a second processor 123. Second device 140 includes a filter circuit 141. Liquid crystal antenna 110 is coupled to second device 140, first processor 130 is coupled to second device 140, and first device 120 is coupled to second device 140.
[0025] This invention provides a method for using a liquid crystal antenna with a holographic pattern to monitor the physiological characteristics of a subject. Figure 1 The biological signal detection system 100 has related detailed operations as follows.
[0026] Figure 2 FIG2 is a diagram illustrating a usage scenario of a biological signal detection system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figures 3A-3B FIG2 is a diagram illustrating a usage scenario of a biological signal detection system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a detailed circuit diagram of a filter circuit of a biological signal detection system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the liquid crystal antenna 110 is used to form a holographic pattern P1 according to a setting signal and to transmit the image from a specific angle (such as Figure 3A-3B As shown) outputs millimeter wave detection signal S1 (as shown Figure 1 ), and the millimeter-wave detection signal S1 is reflected as a millimeter-wave physiological signal R1 based on the physiological characteristics of the subject 900. For example, the liquid crystal antenna 110 can be any liquid crystal array antenna. The liquid crystal antenna 110 can control the array size (e.g., 2×4, 4×8, 6×12, and 8×16), adjust the signal dynamic range according to different applications, and adjust the millimeter-wave (e.g., millimeter-wave detection signal S1) emission angle to achieve spatial scanning, but the present invention is not limited to this.
[0027] In this embodiment, Figure 3A The elevation angle signal field diagram 310 may be a schematic diagram of a signal field with an elevation angle range of 0 degree, 10 degrees, 20 degrees, 30 degrees, or 40 degrees. Figure 3BThe horizontal angle (Horizontal degree) signal field diagram 320 can be a schematic diagram of the signal field horizontal angle range of 0 degrees, 10 degrees, 20 degrees, 30 degrees or 40 degrees. In addition, the liquid crystal antenna 110 can output the millimeter wave detection signal S1 from a specific angle, and the specific angle can be the result of the combination of the pitch angle and the horizontal angle. For example, the specific angle can be (0, 30), and each specific angle can correspond to the holographic pattern P1 or P2 of the liquid crystal antenna 110 (such as Figure 2 For example, holographic pattern P1 may correspond to a specific angle (0, 0), and holographic pattern P2 may correspond to a specific angle (0, 30), but the present invention is not limited thereto. Furthermore, when subject 900 is at a pitch angle of 22 degrees, the biosignal detection system 100 receives no signal when its signal beam pattern is rotated to 0 degrees. However, the biosignal detection system 100 receives a signal when its signal beam pattern is rotated back to 22 degrees.
[0028] In some embodiments, the millimeter wave detection signal S1 or the millimeter wave physiological signal R1 may be a radio frequency microwave with a wavelength of 1 mm to 10 mm and a frequency of 30 to 300 GHz, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the physiological characteristics of the subject 900 may be physical quantities such as heartbeat amplitude and respiratory amplitude, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0029] In this embodiment, the receiving antenna 121 is used to receive the millimeter-wave physiological signal R1. For example, the receiving antenna 121 can be any array antenna, such as a liquid crystal array antenna, an antenna on package (AoP), or an antenna on printed circuit board (AoPCB), but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0030] In this embodiment, the first processor 130 is configured to adjust the specific angle of the liquid crystal antenna 110 based on the strength of the millimeter-wave physiological signal R1, and the holographic pattern P1 or P2 is associated with the specific angle. For example, the first processor 130 can be any micro single-board computer (e.g., a Raspberry Pi) and can be coupled to the liquid crystal antenna 110. The millimeter-wave detection signal S1 output by the liquid crystal antenna 110 at different angles corresponds to the millimeter-wave physiological signal R1 received by the receiving antenna 121. Therefore, the first processor 130 can adjust the specific angle of the liquid crystal antenna 110 based on the strength of the millimeter-wave physiological signal R1, thereby finding the specific angle at which the millimeter-wave physiological signal R1 is strongest, and continuously monitor the subject 900 at this specific angle. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. Furthermore, the holographic pattern P1 or P2 can each correspond to a specific angle, similar to the previously described relationship between the holographic pattern P1 or P2 and the specific angle. For the sake of brevity, this will not be further described here. In some embodiments, the first processor 130 may use a scanning algorithm to cause the liquid crystal antenna 110 to output a millimeter wave detection signal S1 at different angles at a location (e.g., a nursing bed) (i.e., perform signal scanning) and confirm the intensity of the millimeter wave physiological signal R1 to achieve the effect of confirming the location with the maximum signal.
[0031] In this embodiment, the second processor 123 is coupled to the receiving antenna 121 and is configured to determine whether the respiration signal of the millimeter-wave physiological signal R1 is between a first voltage and a second voltage, with the second voltage being greater than the first voltage. For example, the second processor 123 may be any integrated circuit (e.g., a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC)). The first voltage may be 1.75 volts (V), and the second voltage may be 3.3 volts (V), but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0032] In this embodiment, the filter circuit 141 is used to perform high-pass filtering and low-pass filtering, and adjust the voltage level of the breathing signal according to the breathing signal. For example, the first filters 1411 and 1412 of the filter circuit 141 (such as Figure 4 As shown, the second filters 1413 and 1414 of the filter circuit 141 can be used for high-pass filtering, and the second filters 1413 and 1414 of the filter circuit 141 can be used for low-pass filtering. Therefore, the frequency band can be limited to the range of 0.15 to 150 Hz by the filter circuit 141. The adjusters 1415 and 1416 of the filter circuit 141 can adjust the voltage level of the respiratory signal to an appropriate voltage level (voltage offset) based on the respiratory signal, but the present invention is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the voltage level of the respiratory signal can be between 1.75 and 3.3 volts, but the present invention is not limited to this.
[0033] In this embodiment, when the voltage level of the respiration signal is less than the second voltage, the liquid crystal antenna 110 continuously outputs the millimeter wave detection signal S1. For example, when the voltage level of the respiration signal is less than 3.3 volts, the liquid crystal antenna 110 may continuously output the millimeter wave detection signal S1, thereby achieving the effect of continuously monitoring the subject 900. In some embodiments, the biosignal detection system 100 may continuously monitor the respiration and heartbeat of the subject 900. When the respiration or heartbeat of the subject 900 is abnormal, the biosignal detection system 100 may issue a warning, but the present invention is not limited to this.
[0034] In one embodiment, when the voltage level of the breathing signal is greater than a first voltage, the liquid crystal antenna 110 continuously outputs the millimeter wave detection signal. For example, when the voltage level of the breathing signal is greater than 1.75 volts, the liquid crystal antenna 110 may continuously output the millimeter wave detection signal S1 to achieve the effect of continuously monitoring the subject 900.
[0035] Figure 5A-5B According to one embodiment of the present invention, a schematic diagram of the potential levels of various signals in a biological signal detection system is shown. Figure 1 and Figures 5A-5B In one embodiment, the biosignal detection system 100 further includes a third processor 143, a shifter 145, and a converter 147. For example, the third processor 143 may be any logic gate array (e.g., a field programmable gate array (FPGA)), the shifter 145 may be a voltage level shifter, and the converter 147 may be any digital-to-analog converter (e.g., a driver IC DAC), but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0036] In operation, the first processor 130 outputs a read signal RD (eg Figure 5A For example, the first processor 130 may output a preset read signal RD to the third processor 143, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0037] The third processor 143 then outputs an adjustment signal SD based on the read signal RD. For example, the third processor 143 may transmit an adjustment command and related data to the shifter 145 and / or the converter 147 when outputting the adjustment signal SD, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the first processor 130 outputs the read signal RD during the time interval T1, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0038] Next, the shifter 145 is used to output a gate signal VS (eg, Figure 5B For example, the shifter 145 may output a gate signal VS to the liquid crystal antenna 110, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, during the time interval T1, the shifter 145 outputs a gate signal VS, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0039] Then, the converter 147 is used to output the source signal HS (eg Figure 5B As shown), and the source signal HS includes a write signal WD (as shown Figure 5A For example, the converter 147 may output a source signal HS to the liquid crystal antenna 110, and the source signal HS may include a write signal WD, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, during the time interval T1, the converter 147 outputs the source signal HS, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0040] In some embodiments, the first processor 130 may output a start signal SF to the third processor 143. For example, the start signal SF may remain high after initialization and data are written to the third processor 143. When the first processor 130 needs to update data, the start signal SF may become low and timing control may be stopped until the third processor 143 completes the update, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0041] In one embodiment, the setting signal includes a gate signal VS and a source signal HS, and the liquid crystal antenna 110 includes a gate driver 111 and a source driver 113. For example, the setting signal received by the liquid crystal antenna 110 may include the gate signal VS and the source signal HS, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0042] In this embodiment, the gate driver 111 is used to receive the gate signal VS. Then, the source driver 113 is used to receive the source signal HS, and the gate driver 111 and the source driver 113 form a holographic pattern P1 or P2 (such as Figure 2 For example, the liquid crystal antenna 110 can form a holographic pattern P1 or P2 according to the gate signal VS and the source signal HS through the gate driver 111 and the source driver 113, and output the millimeter wave detection signal S1 at different angles (or specific angles), but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0043] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating the potential levels of various signals in a biological signal detection system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 、 Figure 5A and Figure 6In one embodiment, the write signal data1 output by the converter 147 includes multiple data signals (e.g., data signals V1-V16), and the multiple data signals (e.g., data signals V1-V16) are associated with a data voltage range. For example, the write signal data1 may include multiple data signals (e.g., data signals V1-V16), and the shifter 145 may output the gate signal G1, but the present invention is not limited to this. Furthermore, the multiple data signals (e.g., data signals V1-V16) are described in detail below.

[0047] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 6 As shown in Table 1, there can be 16 data signals (e.g., data signals V1-V16), and each data signal has a corresponding voltage value (as shown in Table 1), but the present invention is not limited thereto. Furthermore, the data signals (e.g., data signals V1-V16) can be associated with a data voltage range. For example, the voltage values of the data signals (e.g., data signals V1-V16) can be between 3 and 8.5 volts (V), but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0048] In some embodiments, the biosignal detection system 100 can be mounted on a ceiling or wall within a building. For example, the biosignal detection system 100 monitors the physiological characteristics of the subject 900 via millimeter wave detection signal S1. Without the need for a camera or any other imaging technology, the biosignal detection system 100 can continuously monitor the physiological characteristics of the subject 900 simply by effectively receiving the millimeter wave physiological signal R1. Therefore, the biosignal detection system 100 can be installed in a concealed location or anywhere that can effectively transmit and receive millimeter wave signals, achieving installation flexibility. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

[0055] In step 760, when the voltage level of the breathing signal is less than the second voltage, the liquid crystal antenna continuously outputs the millimeter wave detection signal. In one embodiment, when the voltage level of the breathing signal is less than the second voltage, the liquid crystal antenna 110 may continuously output the millimeter wave detection signal S1. For example, the operation of the biosignal detection method 700 is similar to Figure 1 The operations of the biological signal detection system 100 are similar, and for the sake of brevity, descriptions of other operations in the biological signal detection method 700 will be omitted here.
