Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of sleep product design, in particular to a personalized sleep-aiding system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Sleep is a very important physiological process for human beings, and is also an important guarantee for maintaining physical health and repairing the body. Due to the accelerated pace of modern social life and high life pressure, sleep quality problems are increasingly prominent. According to statistics, sleep time accounts for about one-third of a person's life, and a decrease in sleep quality can cause great distress to people's lives. In the short term, low-quality sleep often leads to inattention, dizziness, and seriously affects people's learning and work efficiency; in the long term, long-term sleep problems can also cause a series of physiological diseases, such as causing the immune system to decline, growth hormone secretion disorder, causing cardiovascular disease, and even becoming one of the causes of cancer.

[0003] Due to the huge heterogeneity of the human brain, differences in sleep habits, and differences in sleep environment, the sleep instruments or sleep beds and other auxiliary sleep-aiding products currently on the market use fixed amplitude and frequency excitation, lack of personalized design, and their sleep-aiding effects are questionable.

[0004] Currently, there are many types of sleep instruments or sleep beds and other auxiliary sleep-aiding products on the market. These sleep-aiding products are mainly divided into three categories: the first category plays music to relax the user's mood to achieve a sleep-aiding effect; the second category stimulates the user to fall asleep quickly by emitting a specific intensity of current; and the third category mainly relies on external vibration to stimulate the human brain to produce a specific type of brain wave, so that the user quickly enters a sleep state. However, these products still have some problems:

[0005] Single reliance on music stimulation for sleep is easy to greatly reduce the sleep-aiding effect as the use time is prolonged, and does not take into account the individual differences of the user. For example, the patent with application number 202211461180.4 proposes a "system for promoting sleep based on music", which uses the correspondence between music and brain waves to achieve a sleep-regulating function. However, it "plays music with a theta wave frequency after collecting alpha wave information from the human brain waves; plays music with a delta wave frequency after collecting theta wave information from the human brain waves; stops music playing and stops collecting human brain waves after collecting delta wave information from the human brain waves", simply decides to play music with a corresponding frequency after recognizing the corresponding wave brain wave, and although it is assisted by heart rate and respiration rate monitoring, it does not take into account the complexity of various brain wave types at the same time, as well as the difference in dominance caused by the different proportions of different wave brain waves in brain wave signals, so there may be problems of detection conflict and unclear decision-making, and the sleep-aiding effect needs to be improved.

[0006] External current stimulation of a certain intensity to put the human body to sleep is prone to use safety problems after the user enters deep sleep because the electrode patch directly contacts the human body.

[0007] The sleep-aiding method relying on external vibration has a higher current advantage, but there is still room for improvement:

[0008] Patent No. 202310108639.0 proposes a "sleep state and sleep staging monitoring method, device and terminal equipment", which relies on an analysis model trained based on historical brain data and historical blood oxygen data to identify electroencephalogram and blood oxygen data to determine the sleep state. This method increases the analysis model of electroencephalogram and blood sample data, solves the problem of simple reliance on detection data for decision-making, but has a high dependence on the pre-set training sample, and does not consider the difference in human brain structure, and ignores the problem of whether the training sample matches the user, and the monitoring effect needs to be improved.

[0009] Patent No. CN202210790594.5 proposes a "sleep control system and method based on shaking stimulation", which considers the difference in human brain structure and performs near-real-time shaking stimulation control, but the external stimulation is shaking stimulation, and the vibration direction is mainly horizontal. The scientific literature published by De Lucia (1969) entitled "To rock or not to rock that is the question" shows that vertical vibration has a better stimulation effect on sleep than shaking. In addition, the sleep feature value extraction index proposed by this patent has weak correlation with the sleep staging result, and cannot well guide the design of incentive input parameters, and may even be counterproductive, causing the hypnotic bed to become a noise bed, and its sleep-aiding effect needs to be improved.

[0010] In summary, the sleep instruments or sleep beds and other auxiliary hypnotic products currently available on the market not only have a single stimulation factor (music, current or vibration), but also mostly use fixed values for key parameters of hypnotic effect (vibration frequency, vibration amplitude, music type, loudness, etc.), lacking personalized design, and their hypnotic effect needs to be improved.

[0103] In one example, the personalized sleep-aiding system further comprises a cloud APP, and the cloud APP is configured to store the optimal hypnosis effect key parameters of each user.

[0104] A more specific embodiment is given below to further introduce the above-mentioned personalized sleep-aiding system in detail.

[0105] First, each module in the vibration calibration system and the sound calibration system is described. The first and second electroencephalogram signal acquisition modules are collectively referred to as the electroencephalogram signal acquisition module; the first and second electroencephalogram signal denoising modules are collectively referred to as the electroencephalogram signal denoising module; the first and second personalized hypnosis feature design modules are collectively referred to as the personalized hypnosis feature design module; and the first and second feedback adjustment modules are collectively referred to as the feedback adjustment module.

[0106] The electroencephalogram signal acquisition module is based on an electroencephalogram acquisition system, with a sampling frequency of 256-1000 Hz, a resolution of 24 Bits, and an input impedance higher than 50 GΩ. The electroencephalogram signal acquisition module includes an electroencephalogram acquisition sensor, which does not require gel and is designed to be worn on the human body, greatly improving the comfort of the individual testing process. The user wears the electrode cap and lies on the sleep bed; under the initial vibration (frequency 8 Hz, amplitude 1 cm) and sound (sound type selected as natural flowing water sound, loudness 1 sone) compound excitation, the individual's electroencephalogram signal is collected.

[0107] The original electroencephalogram signal has the characteristics of strong nonlinearity, non-stationarity and complex composition. The electroencephalogram signal denoising module preprocesses the original electroencephalogram signal to extract the rhythm wave that can reflect the sleep staging of the human body.

[0108] Wavelet transform is widely used in electroencephalogram signal processing field due to its multi-resolution, diversity of basis functions and other advantages. In this specific example, the original electroencephalogram signal is denoised by wavelet soft threshold method, and the low frequency rhythm wave closely related to sleep staging research is extracted by wavelet packet decomposition. The specific implementation process of the electroencephalogram signal denoising module is as follows:

[0109] Step 1: Denoising the original electroencephalogram signal by wavelet decomposition. In this specific example, Morlet wavelet basis function and 3 layers of wavelet decomposition are selected, and the original electroencephalogram signal is decomposed into three layers in Matlab. The expression of Morlet wavelet basis function is as follows:

[0110]

[0111] wherein ψ represents the Morlet wavelet function expression, f represents the frequency, ξ represents the damping ratio, τ represents the time parameter, and t represents any time in the time series.

[0112] The original brain electrical signal multilayer wavelet decomposition block diagram is shown in Figure 2 Figure 2 The (1, 0), (2, 0), (3, 0) represent the low frequency signals of the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer respectively; (1, 1), (2, 1), (3, 1) represent the high frequency signals of the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer respectively. The original brain electrical signal can be represented as (0, 0) = (3, 0) + (3, 1) + (2, 1) + (1, 1).

[0113] Step 2: Select a soft threshold function to threshold the coefficients of the low frequency and high frequency signals of each layer after decomposition. The soft threshold function expression is as follows:

[0114]

[0115] wherein x represents the coefficient before denoising, x den represents the coefficient after denoising, and λ represents the threshold. The soft threshold function is to retain the decomposition coefficients with smaller absolute values.

[0116] Step 3: Use the Mallat decomposition method in the discrete wavelet transform to reconstruct the non-zero decomposition coefficients after processing, to obtain the denoised brain electrical signal. The Mallat decomposition reconstruction formula is as follows:

[0117]

[0118] wherein n represents the total number of sampling points, j represents the number of decomposition layers, k is the scale coefficient, A j (n) represents the brain electrical signal obtained after reconstruction (i.e. the denoised brain electrical signal), A j+1 (n) represents the brain electrical low frequency signal before reconstruction, i.e. the brain electrical low frequency signal of the upper layer, D j+1 (n) represents the brain electrical high frequency signal before reconstruction, i.e. the brain electrical high frequency signal of the upper layer, * represents convolution, h(n), h(n-2k) represent the wavelet reconstruction low pass filter coefficients under two adjacent scale coefficients, and g(n), g(n-2k) represent the wavelet reconstruction high pass filter coefficients under two adjacent scale coefficients.

[0119] ​Step 4: The denoised electroencephalogram signal is processed by wavelet packet decomposition to extract rhythm waves strongly related to sleep staging, which are used as input signals of the individualized hypnosis feature design module. The wavelet transform theory has been relatively mature, and the wavelet base function selected in this embodiment is Morlet wavelet, and the wavelet packet decomposition layer is 6.

[0120] The electroencephalogram signal denoising module extracts four kinds of rhythm waves, namely δ wave, θ wave, α wave and β wave. When the brain is in a drowsy state or enters deep sleep, δ wave and θ wave appear in large quantities in the electroencephalogram signal. Based on this rule, a hypnosis relative energy index is proposed. The flow chart of the individualized hypnosis feature design module is shown in Figure 3 .

[0121] In combination with Figure 3 , the individualized sleep feature design module is described as follows: 1) Calculate the energy of the denoised electroencephalogram signal, i.e. total energy E. 2) Calculate the total energy of active δ wave and θ wave in deep sleep, i.e. E(θ) + E(δ). 3) Calculate the sleep relative energy index E opt in this embodiment. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0122]

[0123]

[0124]

[0125] wherein n represents the total number of sampling points, x i represents the amplitude of the denoised electroencephalogram signal at sampling point i, x θi and x δi represent the amplitude of the extracted θ wave and the amplitude of the extracted δ wave at each sampling point, respectively; and E(θ) and E(δ) represent the energy of the δ wave and the energy of the θ wave, respectively.

[0126] The vibration calibration system mainly obtains the vibration frequency and amplitude required for the optimal hypnosis effect of different individuals. The specific measure is that the test personnel wear an electrode cap on the sleep bed, and are subjected to vibrations of different frequencies and amplitudes, and the optimal frequency and amplitude are determined according to the hypnosis relative energy index of the electroencephalogram signal. The processing flow of the vibration calibration system is shown in Figure 4 .

[0127] The sound calibration system mainly completes the sound type and loudness of the optimal hypnosis effect of different individuals. The processing flow of the sound calibration system is shown in Figure 5The vibration calibration system and the sound calibration system fuse physiological perception and hearing to form a sleep bed personalized recognition system with hearing-sensation combination, and determine physiological perception parameters (frequency, amplitude) and hearing parameters (sound type including baroque instrumental music, human music and natural sounds such as flowing water and rain, and loudness) based on the proposed relative energy index feedback of hypnosis.

[0128] The vibration calibration system of the embodiment realizes the best hypnosis effect for different users, and completes the calibration of the frequency and amplitude key parameters of the excitation input. The sound calibration system realizes the best hypnosis effect for different users, and completes the calibration of the sound type (instrumental sound, human voice, natural sound, etc.) and sound loudness. Specifically, the vibration calibration system and the sound calibration system each consist of three modules, namely, an electroencephalogram signal acquisition module, an electroencephalogram signal denoising module, and a personalized hypnosis feature index design module. First, the electroencephalogram signal of the user is acquired. Then, the original electroencephalogram signal is subjected to wavelet denoising processing, and the rhythm wave strongly related to human sleep staging research is extracted through wavelet packet decomposition. Based on the extracted rhythm wave, the relative energy index of hypnosis is calculated. The present application is a hearing-sensation fusion personalized composite recognition, which considers the internal and external composite bidirectional input of vibration (frequency, amplitude) and sound (sound type, loudness), and multi-directional and stereoscopic stimulation of the resonance of delta wave and theta wave in the rhythm wave, so as to realize the best hypnosis effect of the user. For different users, the relative energy index of hypnosis is used to guide the recognition and calibration of important sleep feature parameters (frequency, amplitude, sound type, and loudness) of the vibration calibration system and the sound calibration system in a closed loop. After the calibration is completed, the results are uploaded to the personal cloud account, and the user can call the results at any time through the APP of the mobile phone.

[0129] In actual application, the above-mentioned personalized sleep aid system realizes the sleep aid process based on the relative energy index of hypnosis as follows:

[0130] 1) Vibration calibration system: the individual wears the electrode cap, lies flat on the sleep bed, and sets the initial vibration excitation frequency to 8 Hz and the amplitude to 1 cm. After the processing of the electroencephalogram signal acquisition module, the electroencephalogram signal denoising module, and the personalized hypnosis feature index design module, the output relative energy index of hypnosis is compared with the preset maximum energy proportion of hypnosis 0.9. If the output relative energy index of hypnosis is greater than 0.9, the set frequency and amplitude parameters are output. If the output relative energy index of hypnosis is less than 0.9, the input frequency and amplitude are adjusted. The vibration calibration system parameter setting frequency range is 0-30 Hz with a step of 1 Hz, and the amplitude range is 0-3 cm with a step of 0.01 cm. The grid search is performed within the set frequency and amplitude range, and the step is increased successively until the output relative energy index of hypnosis is greater than 0.9, that is, the optimal vibration parameters (frequency, amplitude) are output.

[0131] 2) Sound calibration system: the individual wears the electrode cap, lies on the sleep bed, sets the sound type natural flowing water sound, loudness 1 sone, and after the processing of the electroencephalogram signal acquisition module, the electroencephalogram signal denoising module, and the personalized hypnosis characteristic index design module, the output hypnosis relative energy index is compared with the pre-set hypnosis maximum energy proportion value 0.85, if the output hypnosis relative energy index is greater than 0.85, the set sound type and loudness parameters are output; if the output hypnosis relative energy index is less than 0.85, the input sound type and loudness are adjusted and fed back. The sound calibration system sets the sound type to include baroque instrumental music, human voice music and natural sounds such as flowing water and rain, and 20 kinds of sound types; the loudness range is 1-5 sone, and the step size is 0.1 sone. Grid search is performed within the sound type and loudness setting range, and the step size is increased one by one until the output hypnosis relative energy index is greater than 0.85, that is, the optimal sound parameters (sound type, loudness) are output.

[0132] The individualized sleep characteristic recognition of the sound- sensation fusion system is completed for different individuals, that is, the optimal vibration parameters (frequency, amplitude) and (frequency, amplitude) are determined. The above-mentioned individualized parameters are uploaded to the cloud APP, and the individual can call at any time.
