Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of millimeter wave radars, and in particular to a method for monitoring the health of a baby crib based on millimeter wave radars. Background Art

[0002] Cribs are very common baby products. Traditional cribs are just reduced in size for infants and have a relatively low level of intelligence. Therefore, when the baby has abnormal breathing and heartbeat, parents cannot intervene quickly, which poses a great safety hazard.

[0003] Millimeter-wave radar is a common space detection sensor that can detect vital signs of the human body in space in a non-contact manner and collect vital signs such as breathing and heartbeat.

[0004] Although there are some methods available to obtain infants' physiological conditions and sleep status, there are relatively few research programs using millimeter-wave radar.

[0005] Based on this, the present invention designs a baby crib health monitoring method based on millimeter wave radar to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for monitoring the health of a baby crib based on millimeter-wave radar.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0008] A method for monitoring the health of a baby crib based on millimeter wave radar comprises the following steps:

[0009] Step 1: Power on the millimeter wave radar and enter the detection mode;

[0010] Step 2: The millimeter wave radar starts detection, and each frame of data gives the bed status value K, respiratory rate r_r, heart rate r_h and abnormal movement value N;

[0011] Step 3: judging whether the baby is in the crib according to the in-bed status value K of each frame of data;

[0012] Step 4, after entering the baby in bed state, perform multi-frame accumulation to obtain statistical values ​​s{R_h, V_h, R_r, V_r} in multiple intervals, multiple interval groups S = {s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6, s7, s8, s9, ... sm}, and the maximum number of intervals is M; wherein, by accumulating the heart rate r_h of each interval, the heartbeat average value R_h and the heartbeat variance V_h in the interval are calculated, and the respiratory rate r_r of each interval is accumulated, and the respiratory average value R_r and the respiratory variance V_r in the interval are calculated; at the same time, obtain multiple interval abnormal values ​​n{N_a, N_v}, multiple interval groups O = {n1, n2, ... nz}, wherein N_a represents the average value of the abnormal value N of each interval, and N_v represents the variance of the abnormal value N of each interval;

[0013] Step 5: Determine whether the baby's current heart rate is normal based on the obtained heart rate average value R_h. If abnormal, issue a heart rate alarm and send the alarm information to the parent's mobile terminal;

[0014] Step 6: Determine whether the current infant's breathing is normal by using the obtained breathing average value R_r. If abnormal, issue a breathing alarm and send the alarm information to the parent's mobile terminal;

[0015] Step 7: Determine whether the baby has moved significantly by using the average value N_a of the interval abnormal value N. If abnormal, issue a significant movement alarm and send the alarm information to the parent's mobile terminal;

[0016] Step 8: Determine whether the baby has reached the threshold for falling asleep;

[0017] Step 9: When the baby meets the threshold for falling asleep, the time unit starts sleep recording;

[0018] Step 10: The time unit records the duration of the baby falling asleep and being awake;

[0019] Step 11: Analyze the baby's sleep cycle;

[0020] Step 12: Evaluate the infant's respiratory health quality. If R_r and V_r continue to meet normal requirements after entering different sleep cycles and no respiratory alarm occurs, it means that the infant's respiratory health quality is good, otherwise it is not good.

[0021] Step 13, evaluating the infant's sleep quality;

[0022] Step 14: The infant's respiratory health quality evaluation results and sleep quality evaluation results are transmitted to the processor, and the processor transmits the information to the parent's mobile terminal through the communication module.

[0023] Further, in step 2, after 20 s of calculation, the first frame of data is output, and then data is output at a frame period of 50 ms;

[0024] The specific steps of step 3 are as follows:

[0025] When K = 0, it indicates that the baby gets out of bed in this frame, Tk = Tk + 1, and Tl = 0;

[0026] When K >= 1, it indicates that the baby is in bed in this frame, Tl = Tl + 1, and Tk = 0;

[0027] When Tl > T_max, the state switches to the baby-in-bed state; otherwise, the original state is maintained;

[0028] When Tk > T_max, the state switches to the baby-out-of-bed state; otherwise, the original state is maintained;

[0029] Among them, Tk represents the continuous out-of-bed judgment value, Tl represents the continuous in-bed judgment value, and T_max represents the state switching threshold.

[0030] Further, in step 4, within every 30 s interval, 600 frames of data of the subject are measured to obtain the statistical value s{R_h, V_h, R_r, V_r} in each interval, and it is cached; meanwhile, within every 2 s interval, 40 frames of data of the subject are measured to obtain the anomaly value n{N_a, N_v} in each interval.

[0031] Further, the specific steps of step 5 are as follows:

[0032] 5.1. After obtaining the average heart rate value R_h of a 30 s interval, compare it with the preset heart rate alarm threshold:

[0033] If R_h > H_max, the radar outputs a high heart rate alarm; where H_max represents the high heart rate alarm threshold;

[0034] If R_h < H_min, the radar outputs a low heart rate alarm; where H_min represents the low heart rate alarm threshold;

[0035] 5.2. Calculate the variance V_h of the average heart rate value R_h within M consecutive intervals S = {s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6, s7, s8, s9, s10…, sm};

[0036] If V_h > Vs, the radar outputs an alarm for excessive heart rate fluctuation; where Vs represents the heart rate fluctuation alarm threshold;

[0037] The alarm information is transmitted to the processor, and the processor transmits the information to the parent's mobile terminal for display through the communication module.

[0038] Furthermore, the specific steps of step 6 are as follows:

[0039] 6.1 After obtaining the average respiration value R_r in a 30s interval, compare it with the preset respiration alarm threshold:

[0040] If R_r > R_max, the radar outputs a rapid respiration alarm;

[0041] wherein, R_max represents the rapid respiration alarm threshold;

[0042] If R_r < R_min, the radar outputs a slow respiration alarm;

[0043] wherein, R_min represents the slow respiration alarm threshold;

[0044] If R_r < R_c and K >= 1, the radar outputs a suffocation alarm;

[0045] wherein, R_c represents the suffocation alarm threshold;

[0049] where N_max represents the large abnormal movement threshold;

[0050] The alarm information is transmitted to the processor, and the processor transmits the information to the mobile terminal of the parent through the communication module for display;

[0051] In step 8, after simultaneously meeting all the following conditions, it is determined that the sleep threshold is reached;

[0052] Within the time length L1, N_a < N_1, R_r < R_r1, R_h < R_h1;

[0053] wherein, N_1 represents the sleep movement threshold, R_r1 represents the sleep respiration rate threshold, and R_h1 represents the sleep heart rate threshold.

[0054] Furthermore, the specific steps of step 10 are as follows:

[0055] When the baby meets the sleep threshold, the time unit starts to record the sleep duration tr;

[0056] After simultaneously meeting all the following conditions, it is determined that the wake threshold is reached, and the wake duration tx is recorded, otherwise the sleep duration tr is recorded;

[0102] Step 2, the millimeter wave radar starts detection, outputs the first frame of data after 20 seconds of calculation, and then outputs data with a frame period of 50 ms. Each frame of data gives the bed status value K, respiratory rate r_r, heart rate r_h and abnormal value N;

[0103] Step 3: Determine whether the baby is in the crib based on the in-bed status value K of each frame of data. The specific steps are:

[0104] When K=0, it means that the baby leaves the bed in this frame, Tk=Tk+1, Tl=0;

[0105] When K>=1, it means that the baby is in bed in this frame, Tl=Tl+1, Tk=0;

[0108] Wherein, Tk represents the continuous bed leaving judgment value, Tl represents the continuous bed staying judgment value, and T_max represents the state switching threshold.

[0109] Step 4. After entering the state where the baby is in the crib, perform multi-frame accumulation. Measure 600 frames of data for the subject within each 30-second interval to obtain the statistical values s{R_h, V_h, R_r, V_r} for each interval, and cache them. Multiple interval groups S = {s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6, s7, s8, s9, … sm}, with the maximum number of intervals being M; among them, by accumulating the heart rate r_h of each interval, calculate the average heart rate R_h and the heart rate variance V_h within the interval, accumulate the respiratory rate r_r of each interval, and calculate the average respiratory rate R_r and the respiratory variance V_r within the interval; meanwhile, measure 40 frames of data for the subject within each 2-second interval to obtain the movement value n{N_a, N_v} for each interval, and cache them.
