[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.

[0038] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of this invention, the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0039] Abdominal breathing exercises often employ traditional biofeedback methods, requiring trainees to wear additional biofeedback devices, such as diaphragm machines. Trainees use these machines as sensors to monitor changes in their waistline. However, this data can be inaccurate due to factors such as body swaying and posture. Furthermore, the data collected by diaphragm machines cannot be integrated with real-time breathing training. Additionally, due to high equipment costs and poor portability, diaphragm machines have not been widely adopted or popularized.

[0040] The aforementioned abdominal breathing training methods typically involve rehabilitation physicians or instructors guiding users through abdominal breathing exercises based on data collected by sensors on the abdominal breathing machine, using verbal instructions. The process from data collection and display to human guidance involves a delay and lacks timely feedback, making the training process very tedious. Trainees need to rely on the physician's or instructor's instructions to visualize and understand the process, and then translate this visualization into their own training behavior. Because of individual differences in trainees' visualization and understanding, traditional abdominal breathing training methods cannot be standardized or scaled up.

[0041] Virtual reality technology is the culmination of rapid advancements in computer hardware and software technology, sensor technology, robotics, artificial intelligence, and behavioral psychology. This technology uses computers to generate an interactive, highly realistic three-dimensional environment, immersing users in this virtual world and allowing them to experience multiple senses, including sight, hearing, and touch.

[0042] Abdominal breathing is a breathing technique that increases the movement of the diaphragm and reduces the movement of the chest cavity. Abdominal breathing involves the diaphragm moving up and down. During inhalation, the diaphragm descends, pushing the organs downwards, causing the abdomen to expand rather than the chest. Therefore, during exhalation, the diaphragm rises higher than usual, allowing for deeper breathing and expelling more carbon dioxide that tends to stagnate at the bottom of the lungs. Abdominal breathing can help people shift from a state of suppression to relaxation and is widely used in areas such as pain management, anxiety relief, and disease recovery. Example 1

[0043] Please see Figure 1 As shown, this invention provides a diaphragmatic breathing monitoring system based on virtual reality technology. The system includes: a virtual reality device 10; a breathing acquisition module 11, mounted on the virtual reality device 10, for collecting the user's breathing data; a breathing training module 12, connected to both the breathing acquisition module 11 and the virtual reality device 10, for generating recommended instructions for virtual scenarios based on the breathing data; the virtual reality device 10 displays the recommended virtual scenarios based on the recommended instructions to guide the user in diaphragmatic breathing training; and a judgment module 13, connected to both the breathing acquisition module 11 and the virtual reality device 10, for generating training results after the diaphragmatic breathing training is completed; the virtual reality device 10 also displays the training results.

[0044] The diaphragmatic breathing monitoring system based on virtual reality technology of the present invention, by combining the virtual reality device 10 with the breathing training module 12, can solve the problems of untimely feedback and boring practice in traditional diaphragmatic breathing exercises. It does not require human guidance from rehabilitation doctors or instructors, and can achieve standardization and planning, greatly improving the efficiency and training effect of traditional diaphragmatic breathing exercises.

[0045] For example, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The breathing acquisition module 11 includes a breathing amplification mask 111 and a microphone 101 of the virtual reality device 10; wherein, the microphone 101 is located at the lower part of the virtual reality device 10; the breathing amplification mask 111 includes a main body 1111 and an arc-shaped airflow guide 1112; the main body 1111 is fixed to the virtual reality device 10; one end of the arc-shaped airflow guide 1112 is fixed below the main body 1111, and the other end extends to the lower part of the virtual reality device 10 and the microphone 101.

[0046] Specifically, the lower edge of the breathing amplification shield 111 (i.e., the arc-shaped airflow guide 1112) adopts an arc shape from the outside to the inside. The arc-shaped airflow guide 1112 can serve as an arc-shaped airflow guide groove. When the user exhales, the airflow is guided by the arc-shaped airflow guide 1112 to achieve the effect of guiding the gas from both sides to the middle (i.e., guiding the gas from both sides of the microphone 101 to the microphone 101), increasing the amount of gas collected by the microphone 101, and ultimately amplifying the collection results of breathing monitoring (i.e., ultimately amplifying the breathing data), ensuring the accuracy of the user's breathing data monitoring and collection.

[0047] As an example, the breathing magnification mask 111 may also include a buckle 1113, one end of which is connected to the main body 1111 and the other end is fastened to the virtual reality device 10.

[0048] Specifically, the virtual reality device 10 is equipped with a headband 102, and more specifically, the headband 102 can be an elastic headband. The virtual reality device 10 can be worn on the user's head 14 through the headband 102.

[0049] More specifically, the buckle 1113 is fastened onto the headband 102 to achieve a snap-fit ​​connection with the virtual reality device 10.

[0050] As an example, the recommended virtual scene displayed by the virtual reality device 10 based on the recommended instructions may include visuals and audio; the user can follow the audio guidance and visuals to perform diaphragmatic breathing training. After the user accurately completes the standard required by the breathing training module 12 once, the training result displayed by the virtual reality device 10 can be a visual, specifically a visual display using gamified effects, such as a visual prompt and guidance showing "Standard met" with added points (it should be noted that the guidance here can be visual guidance or audio guidance, etc.). If the user performs diaphragmatic breathing training multiple times, the user's score during the diaphragmatic breathing training process will continuously increase, and after the score reaches a preset level score, the virtual reality device 10 will also display the level title obtained by the user as part of the training result, such as titles like Breathing Novice, Breathing Master, and Breathing King.

[0051] After a single abdominal breathing exercise is completed, the judgment module 13 will generate the total training score for this session and present the user's ranking among all trainees. If the ranking changes after each abdominal breathing exercise, such as an improvement, the training result displayed by the virtual reality setting 10 can be a screen, specifically a screen showing the user's position change in the leaderboard.

[0052] As an example, the breathing training module 12 is further configured to set a breathing baseline value based on the basic breathing data pre-collected by the breathing acquisition module 11; the breathing training module 12 is further configured to preprocess the breathing data based on the breathing baseline value to remove breathing data other than the breathing baseline value; the breathing training module 12 generates recommended instructions for recommended virtual scenes based on the preprocessed breathing data.

[0053] Specifically, the respiratory baseline value can be a data range with a defined interval, that is, a numerical range between a minimum and a maximum value. The respiratory baseline value can be a respiratory rate baseline value, and the respiratory data can be the respiratory rate. Through preprocessing of the respiratory data, respiratory data outside the respiratory baseline value can be removed, such as high-frequency data exceeding the respiratory baseline value and low-frequency data below the respiratory baseline value, retaining and using only the respiratory data within the interval containing the respiratory baseline value.

[0054] As an example, during the abdominal breathing training, the user preprocesses the breathing data based on the breathing baseline value to remove breathing data other than the breathing baseline value. The breathing training module 12 is also used to continuously correct the preprocessed breathing data and generate a breathing training correction instruction based on the corrected breathing data. The virtual reality device 10 is also used to remind the user to adjust the abdominal breathing training based on the breathing training correction instruction.

[0055] Specifically, the breathing training module 12 is also used to continuously correct the preprocessed breathing data. The specific method can be to enlarge or reduce the preprocessed breathing data according to the actual situation to ensure the accuracy of the user's breathing data continuously collected by the breathing acquisition module 11.

[0056] Specifically, the breathing training correction instructions may include voice prompts, and the virtual reality device 10 may use voice prompts to guide the user to adjust the method of diaphragmatic breathing training; for example, prompting the user to adjust the exhalation duration, inhalation duration, etc.

[0057] As an example, the judgment module 13 is also used to generate an error reminder command if the user performs incorrect abdominal breathing during the abdominal breathing training; the virtual reality device 10 is also used to remind the user based on the error reminder command.

[0058] Specifically, when a user makes an incorrect abdominal breathing motion during abdominal breathing training, the judgment module 13 will generate an error reminder command. More specifically, the error reminder command can be a visual prompt and guidance indicating "failure to meet the standard" and a deduction of points (it should be noted that the guidance here can be visual guidance or voice guidance, etc.). This process can continuously provide timely feedback on training results, optimize training effectiveness, and help users overcome the boredom of abdominal breathing training through gamified interaction.

[0059] The diaphragmatic breathing monitoring system based on virtual reality technology of the present invention can reduce the cumbersome wearing of traditional diaphragmatic ventilators. It can accurately collect the user's breathing data by combining a microphone built into a common virtual reality device with the breathing training module 12 and the judgment module 13, reducing the problem of inaccurate data detection by traditional diaphragmatic ventilators. The breathing data collected by the breathing acquisition module 11 is uploaded to the breathing training module 12, which drives the virtual reality device 10 to display visuals and audio in a highly realistic virtual scene corresponding to the user's breathing data. Through gamification, when the user meets the standards required by the breathing training system, a gamified notification appears indicating that the training has been completed. The system provides on-screen prompts and guidance (which can be visual or audio-based) to award points. During training, users receive a pre-set score and are shown their earned level title. This real-time gamified training method, based on the user's breathing data, provides immediate training scores and level results. It also sets short-term and long-term goals with corresponding score and title rewards, enhancing the user's enjoyment of the training process. Furthermore, the breathing training module 12 continuously optimizes the training process by collecting data in real time, significantly solving the problems of untimely feedback and monotonous practice in traditional abdominal breathing exercises. This greatly improves the efficiency and training effectiveness of traditional abdominal breathing exercises.

[0060] This application's virtual reality-based diaphragmatic breathing monitoring system solves the problems of high cost, poor portability, cumbersome wearing, and inaccurate breath data collection associated with traditional diaphragmatic breathing training machines or belts. Furthermore, it addresses the issue of monotonous and unsustainable traditional diaphragmatic breathing training due to the lack of timely feedback through gamified training methods. This virtual reality-based diaphragmatic breathing monitoring system significantly lowers the barrier to entry for users practicing diaphragmatic breathing, greatly increasing its promotion and popularity. It provides a convenient, fast, accurate, and engaging innovative system for more users, significantly improving the efficiency and training effectiveness of traditional diaphragmatic breathing exercises. Example 2

[0061] Please combine Figures 1 to 3 See Figure 4 This embodiment also provides a method for monitoring diaphragmatic breathing based on virtual reality technology, the method comprising:

[0062] S10: Collects the user's breathing data based on the breathing acquisition module on the virtual reality device;

[0063] S11: Generate a recommendation instruction for a virtual scene based on the respiratory data;

[0064] S12: The virtual reality device displays the recommended virtual scene based on the recommended instruction to guide the user to perform diaphragmatic breathing training;

[0065] S13: After the abdominal breathing training is completed, the training results are generated, and the virtual reality device displays the training results.

[0066] In the diaphragmatic breathing method based on virtual reality technology of the present invention, by combining the virtual reality device with the breathing training module, the problems of untimely feedback and boring practice in traditional diaphragmatic breathing exercises can be solved. It does not require human guidance from rehabilitation doctors or instructors, and can be standardized and planned, greatly improving the efficiency and training effect of traditional diaphragmatic breathing exercises.

[0067] In step S10, please combine Figures 1 to 3 See Figure 4 In step S10, the user's breathing data is collected by the breathing acquisition module 11 on the virtual reality device 10.

[0068] As an example, please refer to the relevant description in Embodiment 1 for the specific structure of the breathing acquisition module 11, which will not be repeated here. When the user exhales, the gas is guided by the arc-shaped guide section 1112 according to the design of the guide groove, so that the gas flows from both sides of the microphone 101 and converges in the middle, which increases the amount of gas collected by the microphone 101, and finally amplifies the acquisition results of breathing monitoring, ensuring the accuracy of user breathing data monitoring and acquisition.

[0069] As an example, after step S10, the following steps may also be included:

[0070] The respiratory data is preprocessed based on a preset respiratory baseline value to remove respiratory data outside the respiratory baseline value.

[0071] Specifically, the respiratory baseline value can be a data range with a defined interval, that is, a numerical range between a minimum and a maximum value. The respiratory baseline value can be a respiratory rate baseline value, and the respiratory data can be the respiratory rate. Through preprocessing of the respiratory data, respiratory data outside the respiratory baseline value can be removed, such as high-frequency data exceeding the respiratory baseline value and low-frequency data below the respiratory baseline value, retaining and using only the respiratory data within the interval containing the respiratory baseline value.

[0072] In step S11, please refer to Figure 4In step S11, a recommendation instruction for a recommended virtual scene is generated based on the breathing data.

[0073] Specifically, in step S11, recommended instructions for virtual scenarios can be generated based on the preprocessed respiratory data.

[0074] Specifically, the breathing training module 12 described in Embodiment 1 can be used to generate recommended instructions for virtual scenarios based on the breathing data.

[0075] In step S12, please combine Figures 1 to 3 See Figure 4 In step S12, the virtual reality device 10 displays the recommended virtual scene based on the recommended instruction to guide the user to perform diaphragmatic breathing training.

[0076] As an example, the recommended virtual scene displayed by the virtual reality device 10 based on the recommended instruction may include visuals and audio; the user can follow the audio guidance and visuals to perform diaphragmatic breathing training.

[0077] In step S13, please combine Figures 1 to 3 See Figure 4 After the abdominal breathing training is completed, the training results are generated, and the virtual reality device 10 displays the training results.

[0078] Specifically, the judgment module 13 described in Example 1 can be used to generate training results after the abdominal breathing training is completed.

[0079] As an example, after the user accurately completes the standard required by the breathing training module 12, the training result displayed by the virtual reality device 10 can be a visual display, specifically a visual display with gamified effects, such as a visual prompt and guidance showing "Standard met" and adding points (it should be noted that the guidance here can be visual guidance or voice guidance, etc.). If the user performs abdominal breathing training multiple times, the user's score during the abdominal breathing training process will continuously increase, and after the score reaches a preset level score, the virtual reality device 10 will also display the level title obtained by the user as part of the training result, such as titles like Breathing Novice, Breathing Master, and Breathing King.

[0080] As an example, after a single abdominal breathing exercise, the judgment module 13 will generate the total training score for this session and present the user's ranking among all trainees. If the ranking changes after each abdominal breathing exercise, such as an improvement, the training result displayed by the virtual reality setting 10 can be a screen, specifically a screen showing the user's position change in the leaderboard.

[0081] As an example, during the abdominal breathing training process, after preprocessing the breathing data based on a preset breathing baseline value to remove breathing data outside the breathing baseline value, the process may further include:

[0082] The preprocessed respiratory data is continuously corrected, and respiratory training correction instructions are generated based on the corrected respiratory data.

[0083] The virtual reality device 10 reminds the user to adjust their diaphragmatic breathing training based on the breathing training correction instructions.

[0084] Specifically, the breathing training module 12 described in Embodiment 1 can be used to continuously correct the preprocessed breathing data and generate breathing training correction instructions based on the corrected breathing data.

[0085] More specifically, a method for continuously correcting the preprocessed respiratory data can be to amplify or reduce the preprocessed respiratory data according to the actual situation to ensure the accuracy of the user's respiratory data continuously collected by the respiratory acquisition module 11.

[0086] More specifically, the breathing training correction instructions may include voice prompts, and the virtual reality device 10 may use voice prompts to prompt the user to adjust the method of diaphragmatic breathing training; for example, prompting the user to adjust the exhalation duration, inhalation duration, etc.

[0087] As an example, the abdominal breathing monitoring method based on virtual reality technology may further include:

[0088] If the user performs incorrect abdominal breathing during the abdominal breathing training, an error reminder command will be generated.

[0089] The virtual reality device 10 reminds the user based on the error reminder instruction.

[0090] Specifically, the judgment module 13 described in Embodiment 1 can generate an error reminder command when an incorrect abdominal breathing occurs during the abdominal breathing training; the virtual reality device 10 is also used to remind the user based on the error reminder command.

[0091] Specifically, when a user makes an incorrect abdominal breathing motion during abdominal breathing training, the judgment module 13 will generate an error reminder command. More specifically, the error reminder command can be a visual prompt and guidance indicating "failure to meet the standard" and a deduction of points (it should be noted that the guidance here can be visual guidance or voice guidance, etc.). This process can continuously provide timely feedback on training results, optimize training effectiveness, and help users overcome the boredom of abdominal breathing training through gamified interaction.

[0092] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0093] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution.
