[0003] Currently, fall protection devices mainly fall into three categories: walking aids, follow-up fall arrestors, and wearable fall protection airbags. However, regardless of the method, accurate and timely prediction is crucial for effective operation. Current fall detection methods include millimeter-wave detection, video detection, and audio detection. These methods are prone to misjudgment due to their limited information, and the lag in information delivery leads to untimely warnings. Furthermore, they are difficult to use on a person and cannot be easily integrated with fall protection devices.

[0004] To overcome these shortcomings, this application proposes a fall warning method and system based on multiple electrophysiology. Summary of the Invention

[0034] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0035] The following analysis, based on relevant technologies, examines existing solutions.

[0036] Invention patent CN118731940A discloses a fall detection method and system based on millimeter-wave radar, relating to the field of millimeter-wave radar technology. It transmits linear frequency modulated (LFM) wave signals to a target human body via millimeter-wave radar and receives the electromagnetic wave signals reflected back from the target human body. It employs deep learning-based artificial intelligence technology to analyze the time-frequency characteristics of the LFM wave signal and the reflected electromagnetic wave signal, and then achieves intelligent recognition of the target human body's posture based on the differences in their characteristics. However, this patent's detection method, based on physical information such as millimeter waves and video, relies on environmental sensors, requiring pre-positioned sensor points in the environment for detection. Furthermore, it requires remote connection when linked with protective equipment, making real-time performance uncertain.

[0037] Chinese invention patent CN118609215A discloses a fall warning method and system based on deep learning, belonging to the field of fall detection and image recognition technology. It includes inputting the body parameters of the monitored target person, obtaining the actual centroid coordinates based on the body parameters, and then using a first radar fall estimation model to perform indoor fall detection and a second video stream iterative detection model to perform outdoor fall detection. The system continuously updates the training sample set to further update the training of the second video stream iterative detection model. However, this method can only be applied to environments with pre-positioned camera points, has low real-time performance, and cannot be integrated with safety equipment.

[0038] Invention patent CN118506807A discloses a fall detection method for the elderly based on deep learning and audio recognition. The method includes: S1, constructing a fall audio dataset; S2, performing data preprocessing to obtain a Mel spectrogram with a uniform format and containing audio time, frequency, and volume feature information; S3, constructing a fall audio recognition model; S4, defining evaluation metrics for model training; and S5, testing the model accuracy. However, detection methods based on physical information such as audio are greatly affected by noise and mostly rely on single pieces of information for detection, making them prone to misjudgment.

[0039] Therefore, this application proposes a fall warning method and system based on multiple electrophysiological methods. It is well known that when a person is about to fall, their muscles will react in an emergency, and they will experience tension. By accurately detecting the muscle's emergency response through electromyography (EMG) signals and judging the tension through electroencephalography (EEG) signals, a timely warning can be issued, allowing protective equipment to take protective actions.

[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Please see Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a fall warning method based on multi-electrophysiology according to Embodiment 1 of this application; the steps include:

[0043] S1: Acquire multimodal electrophysiological signals, including electromyography (EMG) signals and electroencephalography (EEG) signals.

[0044] In this embodiment, the acquisition locations of the electromyography (EMG) signals include, but are not limited to, the following: lower limb muscles, upper limb muscles, gluteal muscles, core muscles, back muscles, and neck muscles; the acquisition of the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals uses 16 channels. The EMG acquisitions from different locations and the 16-channel EEG acquisition are networked using Bluetooth to obtain a multimodal electrophysiological human sensor network. The various electrophysiological acquisition points within the multimodal electrophysiological human sensor network have time synchronization capabilities, enabling the acquisition of multimodal electrophysiological signals at the same time. The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0045] First, Bluetooth networking was established for EMG and EEG acquisition, and their respective locations and acquisition types were determined. Each Bluetooth module has its own MAC address, which is then bound to the acquisition location and type of its respective electrophysiological signal. Nodes can be added or removed depending on the user's needs; after networking, nodes can communicate with each other. An implementation example is shown in the table below:

[0046]

[0047] To synchronize timestamps between nodes, a reference node is first selected, whose timestamp is designated as the reference timestamp Tref. Then, the synchronization is performed based on the reference timestamp and the timestamps of each node. Get the time offset of each node. ( (This refers to the number of nodes). In subsequent data collection, the data from each node is time-shifted accordingly. Specifically:

[0048] ,

[0049] ,

[0050] in For the first Data synchronized across all nodes; For the first The original data of each node; This is a synchronization function, achieved by shifting the sampling points.

[0051] The synchronized data undergoes preprocessing, primarily involving bandpass filtering to extract the frequency range of interest from the electrophysiological signals. For electromyography (EMG), the range is 20–500 Hz, and for electroencephalography (EEG), it is 0.5–100 Hz. Then, a notch filter is used to remove power frequency noise (50 Hz or 60 Hz).

[0052] S2: Perform feature extraction on the multimodal electrophysiological signals to obtain multimodal electrophysiological features; perform feature extraction on the electromyographic signals and the electroencephalographic signals respectively to obtain the first single-point electrophysiological features and the second single-point electrophysiological features.

[0053] In this embodiment, feature extraction mainly includes two parts: single-point electrophysiological feature extraction and multimodal electrophysiological feature extraction. Single-point electrophysiological feature extraction can accurately extract different single-point electrophysiological features without considering other electrophysiological factors, while multimodal electrophysiological feature extraction can extract correlation features between electromyography signals at different locations and 16-channel electroencephalography signals.

[0054] Please see Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the convolutional neural network structure for feature extraction from multimodal electrophysiological signals according to Embodiment 1 of this application. Due to the large size of multimodal electrophysiological signal data, the network design is more complex. It mainly includes a multi-location electromyography convolutional pooling layer with a 4x4 kernel, a multi-channel electroencephalography convolutional pooling layer with a 4x4 kernel, a comprehensive convolutional pooling layer with a 3x3 kernel, and three fully connected layers with 64, 256, and 9 nodes respectively. The output is the coordination level of muscles and brain at eight locations and the current stability level.

[0055] The convolutional neural network is pre-trained using electromyography (EMG) signals from various locations and multi-channel electroencephalography (EEG) signals to output multimodal electrophysiological features, which are the degree of coordination between muscles and the brain at various locations and the current level of stability.

[0056] Please see Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the deep neural network structure for feature extraction of electromyography (EMG) signals according to Embodiment 1 of this application. Since EMG signals are not very complex, the network structure does not need to be too complex. A deep neural network is used to extract features from EMG signals. The deep neural network consists entirely of fully connected layers (FCL), divided into 4 layers, with 64, 256, 128, and 3 nodes in each layer, respectively. The outputs are the degree of muscle contraction, the degree of fatigue, and the degree of lactic acid accumulation, which yield the first single-point electrophysiological feature.

[0057] Please see Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the convolutional neural network structure for feature extraction of EEG signals according to Embodiment 1 of this application. Since EEG data is multi-channel data, a convolutional neural network is used for feature extraction. The convolutional neural network consists of four layers. The first two layers are convolutional pooling layers, which mainly reduce the dimensionality of the 16-channel EEG signal twice. The first convolutional pooling layer uses a 4x4 kernel, and the second convolutional pooling layer uses a 3x3 kernel. The last two layers are fully connected layers (FCL), with 128 and 3 nodes respectively, outputting the level of emotional tension, the level of emotional relaxation, and the current level of attention. This yields the second single-point electrophysiological feature.

[0058] S3: Assess muscle state based on the electromyographic signal to obtain a first assessment result; assess brain function state based on the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal to obtain a second assessment result; calculate the reaction time of the electromyographic signal and the EEG signal to obtain a third assessment result.

[0059] In this embodiment, since muscle state, brain function state, fall risk coefficient and type do not change mutally, periodic assessment is performed, that is, an assessment is performed after acquiring electromyography and electroencephalography signals for one week, and the assessment results are stored.

[0060] The electromyographic (EMG) signals are input into a support vector machine (SVM) to assess muscle status, and the first assessment result is output. This includes calculation methods based on root mean square (RMS), integrated EMG values, and median frequency (MF). As muscle function weakens, the RMS gradually decreases, the integrated EMG value (IEMG) gradually decreases, and the MF gradually decreases.

[0061] The formula for calculating the root mean square is: ,

[0062] in For each point of the electromyographic signal, This represents the number of sampling points for the electromyographic signal;

[0063] The formula for calculating the integral electromyographic value is as follows: ,

[0064] When calculating the median frequency, the power spectral density needs to be calculated using FFT: ,

[0065] in For power spectral density, For frequency, This is a time series of electromyographic signals, and FFT stands for Fast Fourier Transform.

[0066] The median frequency is calculated using the power spectral density, and the formula is as follows: .

[0067] Furthermore, a random forest is used to assess brain functional status, outputting a second assessment result. Specifically:

[0068] The intensity of different waves is obtained based on the power spectral density, including Wave, Wave, Wave, Wave. Among them Waves are associated with basic neural activity and postural stability; Waves are associated with attention and postural control; Waves reflect brain inhibition and sensor integration; Waves are associated with active movement and posture regulation.

[0069] The power spectral density of the wave is expressed as: ,

[0070] The power spectral density of the wave is expressed as: ,

[0071] The power spectral density of the wave is expressed as: ,

[0072] The power spectral density of the wave is expressed as: ,

[0073] in This is a time series of EEG signals, and FFT stands for Fast Fourier Transform.

[0074] Simultaneously, the phase-locked value (PLV) is used to calculate the phase synchronization between brain regions and assess the functional connectivity of the brain regions.

[0076] in The number of sampling points for the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal. The instantaneous phase of the first EEG signal at time point n. Let n be the instantaneous phase of the second signal at time point n. It is a natural constant. It is the imaginary unit.

[0077] Furthermore, in addition to calculating the RMS, IEMG, and MF of electromyographic signals, and the four-wave power spectrum and PLV of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, it is also necessary to calculate the reaction time of electromyographic signals. and EEG reaction time Specific stimuli are provided during the assessment. The calculation formula is:

[0078] ,

[0079] ,

[0080] in This refers to muscle reaction time; This refers to the muscle stimulation time. This refers to the brainwave response time, specifically the time when the P300 wave peaks. The duration of brain region stimulation.

[0081] S4: Input the acquired individual information, the first assessment result, the second assessment result, and the third assessment result into the fall risk assessment model, and output the risk coefficient.

[0082] In this embodiment, the first assessment result, the second assessment result, the third assessment result, and the acquired individual information are input into a fall risk assessment model for fall risk assessment. The fall risk assessment model is a deep neural network. The deep neural network consists of four fully connected layers (FCL) with 128, 256, 64, and 4 nodes respectively, and outputs the risk coefficients for forward, backward, left, and right falls.

[0083] S5: Input the multimodal electrophysiological features, the first single-point electrophysiological features, the second single-point electrophysiological features, and the risk coefficient into the fall warning model for training to obtain a trained fall warning model.

[0084] In this embodiment, the fall warning model is a recurrent neural network. The parameters of the risk coefficient, the convolutional neural network for feature extraction of the multimodal electrophysiological signals, the deep neural network for feature extraction of the electromyographic signals, and the convolutional neural network for feature extraction of the electroencephalogram signals are locked and then connected to the fall warning model. After connection, the fall warning model is trained to obtain a trained fall warning model.

[0085] Please see Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the recurrent neural network structure according to Embodiment 1 of this application. The recurrent neural network includes: a fully connected layer with 128 nodes, three LSTM layers with 64, 64 and 32 nodes respectively, and an output fully connected layer with 1 node.

[0086] Please see Figure 6This is the target network model of Embodiment 1 of this application, composed of a deep neural network, a convolutional neural network, and a recurrent neural network. This target network model is composed of DNN, CNN, and RNN, and continuously collects data from the normal state to the fall process to retrain the target network model. At this time, no parameters need to be locked; the target network model is directly trained in real-time for the task. Further optimization of the weights and biases is performed during training. The specific formula is:

[0090] S6: Acquire the multimodal electrophysiological signals of the target user, predict the multimodal electrophysiological signals of the target user based on the trained fall warning model, and output the fall warning result.

[0091] In this embodiment, the trained fall warning model can be adjusted according to the individual differences of users, making it suitable for different user groups.

[0092] In summary, this application provides fall warnings by utilizing multi-site electromyographic signals and 16-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) signals triggered by human stress responses, capturing physiological and motor characteristics prior to a fall from multiple angles. It employs a multimodal electrophysiological sensor network with time synchronization to acquire multimodal electrophysiological signals simultaneously. Furthermore, it utilizes both single-point and multimodal electrophysiological feature extraction, considering both irrelevant and correlated features, thus reducing the false alarm rate and improving the predictability of the warning. The signal acquisition adds real-time warning capabilities to the human body's personal signal acquisition system, enabling early warning and providing reaction time. Moreover, the fall warning model can self-train and adjust according to individual differences, making it suitable for different user groups.
