Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of navigation wheelchair technology, and more specifically to an autonomous driving navigation wheelchair for use in hospitals. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing aging of the population, patient care and management within hospitals are becoming increasingly important. Many patients in hospitals are unable to walk due to age, illness, or surgery and require wheelchairs for mobility. However, manually pushing wheelchairs requires the intervention of medical staff, which puts pressure on hospital efficiency and human resources. Therefore, there is a need for an autonomous, navigation-enabled wheelchair for use in hospitals.
[0003] Due to the lack of automated navigation wheelchairs in current technologies, hospital staff need to spend a significant amount of time and energy guiding patients, leading to low work efficiency and impacting the overall operational efficiency of the hospital. Clearly, image processing methods have at least the following problems: 1. Existing automated navigation wheelchairs may fail to accurately plan routes and navigate in complex hospital environments, resulting in the wheelchair not reaching its target location precisely, affecting patient access efficiency. Furthermore, patients' choice of route may be influenced by personal conditions, physical condition, and comfort levels. If current technology does not consider these individual needs, patients may be navigated to unsuitable routes, leading to a poor experience. If patients do not have the right to choose their route, they may be navigated to busy or complex routes, increasing inconvenience and affecting the comfort of their visit.
[0004] 2. Existing technology may not consider the comfort needs of patients in waiting areas, failing to provide the most suitable resting spots. Patients may not enjoy a comfortable resting environment, affecting their experience during the waiting period. They may need to make multiple adjustments and moves within the waiting area to find the optimal resting spot. This can increase inconvenience and distress for patients, especially those with mobility impairments, potentially impacting their comfort and safety during movement. Furthermore, without optimal resting spot analysis and route planning, hospital resource utilization may be inefficient. Patients may concentrate at certain resting spots, while others may be wasted or underutilized, leading to an uneven distribution of resources. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to provide an autonomous driving navigation wheelchair for use in hospitals.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The present invention provides an in-hospital autonomous driving navigation wheelchair, including an in-hospital autonomous driving navigation wheelchair body and an in-hospital autonomous driving navigation wheelchair control system for the operation of the in-hospital autonomous driving navigation wheelchair body. The in-hospital autonomous driving navigation wheelchair control system includes: a path parameter acquisition module: used to acquire the various treatment paths corresponding to the department to which the target patient needs to reach at the current moment, thereby acquiring the path feature parameters and path complexity parameters corresponding to each treatment path.

Then, it analyzes the path type corresponding to each medical treatment path, displays the path type corresponding to each medical treatment path on the target patient's wheelchair display screen, and performs autonomous driving navigation based on the medical treatment path selected by the target patient.

Then the rental wheelchair can obtain the target patient's registered departments for the day. The rental wheelchair display screen displays the names of the target patient's registered departments for the day. At the same time, the rental wheelchair display screen can also manually input the names of each department. If the rental wheelchair is not authorized to bind to the target patient's corresponding medical card, the rental wheelchair display screen can only manually input the names of each department.
[0012] A2. When a target patient selects a specific registration department, that department is recorded as the treatment department. The hospital's internal positioning system is used to obtain the current location information of the target patient's rented wheelchair.

The specific analysis process is as follows: the number of turns, the number of obstacles, and the width of each obstacle for each treatment path are denoted as G. i H i and Where y represents the number corresponding to each obstacle, y = 1, 2, ..., m, where m is any integer greater than 2. Substitute these values into the calculation formula. In the process, the path complexity evaluation coefficient corresponding to the i-th medical treatment path is obtained.

In the process, the comprehensive path evaluation coefficient χi corresponding to the i-th medical treatment path is obtained, where ρ1 and ρ2 are the weight factors corresponding to the path feature evaluation coefficient and the path complexity evaluation coefficient, respectively.
[0016] Preferably, the analysis of the path type corresponding to each medical treatment path is carried out in the following specific process:
[0017] The comprehensive path evaluation coefficient corresponding to each medical treatment path is compared with the comprehensive path evaluation coefficient range corresponding to each path type in the database. If the comprehensive path evaluation coefficient corresponding to a certain medical treatment path is within the comprehensive path evaluation coefficient range corresponding to a certain path type in the database, then the path type in the database is recorded as the path type corresponding to that medical treatment path. In this way, the path types corresponding to each medical treatment path are analyzed.
[0018] Preferably, the analysis obtains the waiting environment influencing factors corresponding to each wheelchair rest area in each waiting area. The specific analysis process is as follows: the light intensity and distance from each wheelchair rest area in each waiting area to each service facility are respectively denoted as... and Where v represents the number corresponding to each waiting area, v = 1, 2, ..., z, u is any integer greater than 2, g represents the number corresponding to each wheelchair rest area, g = 1, 2, ..., n, n is any integer greater than 2, and p represents the number corresponding to each wheelchair rest area, p = 1, 2, ..., c, c is any integer greater than 2. Substituting these values into the calculation formula... In the process, the waiting environment impact factor corresponding to the g-th wheelchair rest area in the v-th waiting area is obtained. Where Q′ and W′ represent the standard light intensity and standard distance from the service facility for the set wheelchair rest area, respectively; ψ1 and ψ2 represent the weighting factors for the light intensity and distance from the service facility for the set wheelchair rest area, respectively; and e represents the natural constant.

[0020] Preferably, the analysis of the optimal wheelchair rest area corresponding to the target patient at the current moment is carried out as follows: the wheelchair accessibility assessment coefficients of each wheelchair rest area in each waiting area are arranged in descending order, and the wheelchair rest area in the waiting area with the largest wheelchair accessibility assessment coefficient is recorded as the optimal wheelchair rest area corresponding to the target patient at the current moment.

The path complexity parameters include the number of turns, the number of obstacles, and the width of each obstacle. The system analyzes and obtains the path feature evaluation coefficient and path complexity evaluation coefficient corresponding to each treatment path.
[0028] It should be noted that the specific route patients need to take is obtained through the hospital's internal map and navigation system, and the route distance and duration are calculated by combining the actual distance and time. Personnel density is obtained through the hospital's internal surveillance cameras, counting the number of people passing through that route at the current moment.
[0029] It should also be noted that the number of turns and obstacles along the patient's path is determined using a 3D map model of the hospital. The width of the obstacles is obtained through on-site measurements or map markings.

Then the rental wheelchair can obtain the target patient's registered departments for the day. The rental wheelchair display screen displays the names of the target patient's registered departments for the day. At the same time, the rental wheelchair display screen can also manually input the names of the departments. If the rental wheelchair is not authorized to be bound to the target patient's medical card, the rental wheelchair display screen can only manually input the names of the departments.

These are the weighting factors corresponding to the path distance, path duration, and population density of the set medical treatment path, respectively, where e represents the natural constant.
[0033] It should be noted that, All are greater than 0 and less than 1.
[0034] It should also be noted that data on path distance, path duration, and personnel density for each treatment path should be collected. This data can be obtained through field surveys, statistical data collection, etc. Path distance, path duration, and personnel density should be standardized using the max-min standardization method or Z-score standardization method. Weighting factors should be set for path distance, path duration, and personnel density based on actual needs and professional knowledge. These weighting factors represent the importance of each indicator and can be allocated according to the actual situation.

[0040] It should be noted that the weighting factors for the path characteristic evaluation coefficient and path complexity evaluation coefficient in setting up the medical treatment path are determined based on actual needs and expert opinions.
[0041] In another specific embodiment, the analysis of the path type corresponding to each medical treatment path is carried out as follows: the comprehensive path evaluation coefficient corresponding to each medical treatment path is compared with the comprehensive path evaluation coefficient range corresponding to each path type in the database.

In this way, the path type corresponding to each medical treatment path is analyzed.
[0042] It should be noted that the path types include straight paths, winding paths, and complex paths. For example, if the patient has strong mobility, a straight path can be chosen to shorten the travel time; if the patient needs to avoid densely populated areas or areas with many obstacles, a complex path can be chosen.
[0043] In this embodiment of the invention, by acquiring and analyzing the characteristic and complexity parameters of each medical treatment path, wheelchairs can provide patients with personalized navigation solutions. This personalized service takes into account the needs and preferences of different patients, selecting the most suitable path, thereby improving patient satisfaction and comfort.

The waiting environment parameters include light intensity and distance from each service facility, and then the waiting environment impact factors corresponding to each wheelchair rest area in each waiting area are analyzed.
[0045] It should be noted that the wheelchair is equipped with a light intensity meter to measure light intensity, and a positioning system installed on the wheelchair to determine the current location and distance to various service facilities. The measured distance data is then transmitted to the device.

Where Q′ and W′ represent the standard light intensity and standard distance from the service facility for the set wheelchair rest area, respectively; ψ1 and ψ2 represent the weighting factors for the light intensity and distance from the service facility for the set wheelchair rest area, respectively; and e represents the natural constant.
[0048] It should be noted that ψ1 and ψ2 are both greater than 0 and less than 1.
[0049] It should also be noted that data on the light intensity and distance from service facilities in each wheelchair rest area of each waiting area are collected, and the light intensity and distance from service facilities are standardized. Based on actual needs and professional knowledge, weighting factors are set for the light intensity and distance from service facilities in the wheelchair rest areas.
